Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
 
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Overstock.com, Inc. is an online retailer and advancer of blockchain technology. As used herein, "Overstock," "the Company," "we," "our" and similar terms include Overstock.com, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited annual consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the full fiscal year.

In the fourth quarter of 2018, we completed our annual review of our segment reporting and in light of a strategic shift in our Chief Operating Decision Maker's long-term strategic focus for our organization of transitioning our retail business to focus on the retail partner portion of our business which has resulted in the retail direct portion of our business becoming less significant, we no longer consider the split of retail direct and retail partner as a distinct and relevant measure of our business. Accordingly, revenues and cost of goods sold previously recorded in "Direct" and "Partner and Other" are now split between "Retail" and "Other" on the consolidated statements of operations. "Retail" includes retail revenue and costs of goods sold from both "Direct" and "Partner" transactions. Our revenues and costs of goods sold related to our Medici business remains in "Other". In addition, we have recast the prior period revenues and cost of goods sold to conform with current year presentation. Direct and Partner are no longer considered separate reportable segments in our Business Segment disclosures. In addition, tZERO has been identified as a reportable segment separate from Other due to its operating activities exceeding quantitative thresholds for separate reporting.

For purposes of comparability, the presentation ofwe reclassified other certain immaterial amounts in the prior periods have been conformedpresented to conform with the current period presentation. We retrospectively applied certain accounting standard updates as discussed in Note 2—Accounting Policies, Recently adopted accounting standards.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principles of consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and majority-owned subsidiaries.other subsidiaries for which we exercise control. All intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial results of Verify Investor, LLC have been includedIncluded in our consolidated financial statements fromare the date of acquisition on February 12, 2018. The financial results of Bitsy, Inc. from the acquisition date of January 1, 2019, Verify Investor, LLC from the acquisition date of February 12, 2018, and Mac Warehouse, LLC have been included in our consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date of acquisition on June 25, 2018.
 
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principlesGAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent liabilities in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, investment valuation, receivables valuation, revenue recognition, Club O and gift card breakage, sales returns, incentive discount offers, inventory valuation, depreciable lives of fixed assetsproperty and equipment and internally-developed software, goodwill valuation, intangible asset valuation, equity investmentsecurities valuation, income taxes, stock-based compensation, performance-based compensation, self-funded health insurance liabilities and contingencies. Although these estimates are based on our best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results may differ materially from these estimates.

Cash equivalents

We classify all highly liquid instruments, including instruments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase, as cash equivalents. Cash equivalents were $20.1$3.0 million and $25.5$3.1 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively.
 
Restricted cash
 
We consider cash that is legally restricted and cash that is held as compensating balances for credit arrangements, surety bonds, and self-funded health insurance as restricted cash.
 

Fair value of financial instruments

We account for our assets and liabilities using a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the fair-value hierarchy below. This hierarchy requires us to minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to use observable market data, if available, when determining fair value.

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 in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Our assets and liabilities that are adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis are cash equivalents, tradingcertain equity securities, and deferred compensation liabilities, which fair values are determined using quoted market prices from daily exchange traded markets on the closing price as of the balance sheet date and are classified as Level 1. Our other financial instruments, including cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, finance obligations, and debt are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value. Certain assets, including long-lived assets, certain equity securities, goodwill, cryptocurrencies, and other intangible assets, are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments using fair value measurements with unobservable inputs (level 3), apart from cryptocurrencies which use quoted prices from various digital currency exchanges with active markets, in certain circumstances (e.g., when there is evidence of impairment).

The following tables summarize our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using the fair value hierarchyfollowing levels of inputs as of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 20172018, as indicated (in thousands):

(2)— Non-qualified deferred compensation in a rabbi trust is included in Accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities in ourthe consolidated balance sheets.


Accounts receivable, net
 
Accounts receivable consist primarily of carrier rebates, trade amounts due from customers in the United States, and uncleared credit card transactions at period end, and carrier rebates.end. Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts and do not bear interest. From time to time, we grant credit to some of our business customers on normal credit terms (typically 30 days). We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based upon our business customers' financial condition and payment history, and our historical collection experience and expected collectability of accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts receivable was $1.9$2.5 million and $1.3$2.1 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 20172018, respectively.

Concentration of credit risk
 
Three banksOne bank held the majority of our cash and cash equivalents at SeptemberJune 30, 2018. Two banks held the majority of our cash2019 and cash equivalents at December 31, 2017.2018. Our cash equivalents primarily consist of money market securities which are uninsured. We do not believe that, as a result of this concentration, we are subject to any unusual financial risk beyond the normal risk associated with commercial banking relationships.

Inventories, net
 
Inventories, net include merchandise purchased for resale, which are accounted for using a standard costing system which approximates the first-in-first-out ("FIFO") method of accounting, and are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventory valuation requires us to make judgments, based on currently available information, about the likely method of disposition, such as through sales to individual customers, returns to product vendors, or liquidations, and expected recoverable values of each disposition category.
 
Prepaids and other current assets

Prepaids and other current assets represent expenses paid prior to receipt of the related goods or services, including advertising, license fees, maintenance, packaging, insurance, prepaid inventories, other miscellaneous costs, and cryptocurrency-denominated assets ("cryptocurrencies"). See Cryptocurrencies below.

Cryptocurrencies

Cryptocurrency holdings are includedWe hold cryptocurrency-denominated assets ("cryptocurrencies") such as bitcoin and we include them in Prepaids and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets and totaled $3.1sheets. Our cryptocurrencies were $2.3 million and $1.5$2.4 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Cryptocurrency holdings2018, respectively, and are recorded at cost less impairment.


Table of Contents




We recognize impairment on these assets caused by decreases in market value, based upon Level 1 inputs.determined by taking quoted prices from various digital currency exchanges with active markets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. See Fair value of financial instruments above. Such impairment in the value of our cryptocurrencies is recorded in General and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations. Impairments on cryptocurrencies were $150,000zero and $9.6 million$318,000 for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018.2019. There was no$702,000 and $9.5 million impairment on cryptocurrencies during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018.

Gains and losses realized upon sale of cryptocurrencies are also recorded in General and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations. We occasionally use our cryptocurrencies to purchase other cryptocurrencies. Gains and losses realized with these non-cash transactions are also recorded in General and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations. These non-cash transactions as well as gains (losses) from cryptocurrencies received through our tZERO security token offering are also presented as an adjustment to reconcile Consolidated net lossNet income (loss) to Net cash used inprovided by (used in) operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows. Further, the proceeds from the sale of cryptocurrencies received through our tZERO security token offering are presented as a financing activity in our consolidated statements of cash flows due to its near immediate conversion into cash and its economic similarity to the receipt of cash proceeds under the tZERO security token offering. Realized gains on sale of cryptocurrencies were $64,000$119,000 and $8.4 million$128,000 for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018.2019. There were $3.6$6.8 million and $8.3 million realized gains or losses on sale of cryptocurrencies duringfor the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.

Fixed assets,Property and equipment, net
 
Fixed assetsProperty and equipment are recorded at cost and stated net of depreciation and amortization. FixedUpon sale or retirement of assets, cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in our consolidated statements of operations. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the term of the related capitalfinance lease, whichever is shorter, as follows: 
 
Life
(years)
Building40
Land improvements20
Building machinery and equipment15-20
Furniture and equipment5-7
Computer hardware3-4
Computer software, including internal-use software and website development2-4
 
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the term of the related leases or estimated useful lives.

Included in fixed assetsproperty and equipment is the capitalized cost of internal-use software and website development, including software used to upgrade and enhance our Website and processes supporting our business. We capitalize costs incurred during the application development stage of internal-use software and amortize these costs over the estimated useful life. Costs incurred related to design or maintenance of internal-use software are expensed as incurred.

During the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, we capitalized $4.0$4.1 million and $2.2$8.3 million, respectively, of costs associated with internal-use software and website development, both developed internally and acquired externally. AmortizationDepreciation of costs for the same periods associated with internal-use software and website development was $3.4$3.1 million and $3.9$3.2 million, respectively. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, we capitalized $14.7$7.6 million and $8.0$10.6 million, respectively, of costs associated with internal-use software and website development, both developed internally and acquired externally. AmortizationDepreciation of costs associated with internal-use software and website development during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $10.0$6.4 million and $12.2$6.7 million, respectively.

Equity investmentssecurities under ASC 321

At SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, we held minority interests (less than 20%) in thirteencertain privately held entities accounted for under ASCAccounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 321, Investments - Equity Securities ("ASC 321"), which are included in Equity investmentssecurities in our consolidated balance sheets. One of these equity investments,securities, which had a carrying value of $4.3$1.5 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, is carried at fair value based on Level 1 inputs. See Fair value of financial instruments above. The remaining equity investmentssecurities lack readily determinable fair values and therefore the investmentssecurities are measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar equity securities of the same issuer. Dividends received are reported in current earnings.earnings if and when received. We review our investmentssecurities individually for impairment by evaluating if events or circumstances have occurred that may indicate the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value. If such events or circumstances have occurred, we estimate the fair value of the investment and recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between the fair value of the investment and its carrying value.value, which are recorded as unrealized gains or losses on our investments in Other income (expense), net on our consolidated statements of operations. In such cases, the estimated fair value of the investment is determined using unobservable inputs including assumptions by the investee's management including quantitative information such as lower valuations in recently completed or proposed financings. These inputs are classified as Level 3. Because several of our investeesthese private companies are in the early startup or development stages, these entities are subject to potential changes in cash flows and valuation, andas well as inability to attract new investorsraise additional capital which may be necessary for the liquidity needed to support their operations.

The carrying amount of our investmentsequity securities under ASC 321 was approximately $18.5$15.1 million and $6.5$20.3 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively.

Equity method investmentssecurities under ASC 323

At SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, we held minority interests interests in nine privatelycertain privately held entities accounted for as equity method investmentssecurities under ASC Topic 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures ("ASC 323"), which are included in Equity investmentssecurities in our consolidated balance sheets. We can exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investeesthese entities through either holding more than a 20% voting interest in the entity or through our representation on the entity's board of directors. Based on the nature of our ownership interests, we have variable interests in certain of these entities. However, because we do not have power to direct the investee's activities and we are not the investee's primary beneficiary, we therefore do not consolidate the investee in our financial statements.

Noncontrolling interests in Controlled Subsidiaries

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Medici Ventures, Inc. ("Medici Ventures"), conducts its primary business through its majority-owned subsidiary,holds a majority ownership interest in tZERO Group, Inc. ("tZERO"), formerly tØ.com, Inc., which includesand Medici Land Governance Inc., a Delaware public benefit corporation ("MLG"). tZERO's subsidiaries include a financial technology company, two related registered broker dealers, a registered investment advisor,digital wallet and exchange services company, and an accredited investor verification company. tZERO, MLG, and itstheir consolidated subsidiaries are included in our consolidated financial statements. For controlled subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned, the noncontrolling interests are included in Net loss and Total equity. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated and the amounts of contributions and gains or losses that are attributable to the noncontrolling interests are disclosed in our consolidated financial statements.


On December 18, 2017, tZERO launched an offering (the "security token offering")Table of the right to acquire tZERO Preferred Equity Tokens (the "tZERO Security Token") through a Simple Agreement for Future Equity ("SAFE"). The security token offering closed on August 6, 2018. At September 30, 2018, the SAFEs were classified as equity by tZERO. At September 30, 2018, cumulative proceeds, net of withdrawals, from the security token offering totaling $104.8 million, have been classified as a component of noncontrolling interest within our consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2018, tZERO has incurred $21.3 million of offering costs associated with the security token offering that are classified as a reduction in proceeds within noncontrolling interest of our consolidated financial statements. On October 12, 2018, tZERO issued the tZERO Security Tokens in settlement of the SAFEs. The tZERO Security Tokens are subject to a 90 day trading lock-up period.Contents

During the first quarter of 2018, tZERO purchased 65.8% of ES Capital Advisors, LLC ("ES Capital"), a registered investment advisor under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, which was accounted for as an asset acquisition. tZERO operates the ES Capital business under the name tZERO Advisors and offers automated investment advisory services under the FinanceHub tab on our Website. tZERO also purchased 81.0% of Verify Investor, LLC, an accredited investor verification company. This transaction is described further in Note 3—Acquisitions, Goodwill, and Acquired Intangible Assets. These entities are included in our consolidated financial statements.

Medici Land Governance Inc., a Delaware public benefit corporation ("MLG"), was recently formed by Medici Ventures with our President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Patrick M. Byrne ("Dr. Byrne"). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements dated September 21, 2018, Medici Ventures contributed certain of its assets, including intellectual property relating to technologies regarding land governance and property rights, to MLG in exchange for 510,000 shares of MLG common stock and at the same time Dr. Byrne personally contributed $6.7 million in cash to MLG in exchange for 390,000 shares of MLG common stock. As a result of the transactions described above, Medici Ventures holds approximately 57% of the outstanding capital stock of MLG, and Dr. Byrne, holds approximately 43% of the outstanding capital stock of MLG.

Leases
 
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. We account for lease agreements as either operating or capitalfinance leases depending on certain defined criteria. Operating leases are recognized in Operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets, Operating lease liabilities, current, and Operating lease liabilities, non-current on our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in Other long-term assets, net, Other current liabilities, and Other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Lease assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. In certain of our lease agreements, we receive rent holidays and other incentives. We recognize lease costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term without regard to deferred payment terms, such as rent holidays, that defer the commencement date of required payments. Additionally, tenant improvement allowances are amortized as a reduction in rent expense overOur lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the termlease, and we adjust our measurement of the lease.lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease payments used in measurement of the lease liability typically do not include executory costs, such as taxes, insurance, and maintenance, unless those costs can be reasonably estimated at lease commencement. Leasehold improvements are capitalized at cost and amortized over the lesser of their expected useful life or the life of the lease, without assuming renewal features, if any, are exercised. We do not separate lease and non-lease components for our leases.

Treasury stock
 
We account for treasury stock of our common shares under the cost method and include treasury stock as a component of stockholders' equity.
 
Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired in business combinations.combinations (see Note 3—Business Combinations for current period activity). Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually.annually or when we deem that a triggering event has occurred. When evaluating whether goodwill is impaired, we make a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount, we compare the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, thenan impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the amountexcess of the impairment loss must be measured. The impairment loss, if any, is calculated by comparing the implied fair value of the goodwill to its carrying amount. In calculating the implied fair value of goodwill,amount over the fair value of the reporting unit, is allocatednot to the other assets and liabilities within the reporting unit based on estimated fair value. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amount allocated to its other assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment loss is recognized whenexceed the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.
We test for impairment of goodwill annually or when we deem that a triggering event has occurred.the goodwill. There were no impairments to goodwill recorded during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 2017.2018.

For nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized $7.4 million in goodwill related to a business acquisition as described in Note 3—Acquisitions, Goodwill, and Acquired Intangible Assets. The change in goodwill relates to a non-reportable segment, included in Other as described in Note 10—Business Segments.

Intangible assets other than goodwill

We capitalize and amortize intangible assets other than goodwill over their estimated useful lives unless such lives are indefinite. Intangible assets other than goodwill acquired separately from third-parties are capitalized at cost while such assets acquired as part of a business combination are capitalized at their acquisition-date fair value. Indefinite lived intangible assets include intellectual property and investment advisor licenses purchased in connection with our tZERO Advisors and Medici Ventures' portfolio company in the blockchain property titling businesses. Certain licenses are subject to annual renewal terms with immaterial fees which are expensed as incurred. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or more frequently when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value more likely than not exceeds its fair value. In addition, we routinely evaluate the remaining useful life of intangible assets not being amortized to determine whether events or circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life, including any legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factors that may limit their useful lives. Definite lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method of amortization over their useful lives, with the exception of certain intangibles (such as acquired technology, customer relationships, and trade names) which are amortized using an accelerated method of amortization based on cash flows. DefiniteThese definite lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable as described below under Impairment of long-lived assets.

Impairment of long-lived assets
 
We review property and equipment, right-of-use assets, and other long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets other than goodwill, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. See the Cryptocurrencies section above for our impairment policy over cryptocurrencies. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the assets' carrying amount to future undiscounted net cash flows the asset group is expected to generate. Cash flow forecasts are based on trends of historical performance and management's estimate of future performance, giving consideration to existing and anticipated competitive and economic

conditions. If such asset group is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair values. There were no impairments to long-lived assets recorded during the ninethree and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 2017.2018.

Revenue recognition
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 excludes taxes that have been assessed by governmental authorities and that are directly imposed on revenue-producing transactions between the Company and its customers, including sales and use taxes. 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.

Product Revenue
    
We derive our revenue primarily from our retail merchandise sales onbusiness through our Website. WeWebsite, but may also earnderive revenue from advertising onsales of merchandise through offline and other channels. Our Retail revenue is derived primarily from merchandise sold at a point in time and shipped to customers. Merchandise sales are fulfilled with inventory sourced through our Website andpartners or from other sources. We have organized our operations into two principal reporting segments basedowned inventory, depending on the primary sourcemost efficient means of revenue: (i) direct revenue and (ii) partner and other revenue. Net revenuefulfilling the customer contract. The majority of our sales, however, are fulfilled from contracts with customers is further disaggregated by Retail and Other net revenue as disclosed in Note 10—Business Segments.inventory sourced through our partners.

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). See Recently adopted accounting standards, below. Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when control of the product passes to the customer, typically at the date of delivery of the merchandise to the customer or the date a service is provided, and is recognized in an amount that reflects the expected consideration to be received in exchange for such goods or services. Shipping and handling is considered a fulfillment activity and fees charged to customers are included in net revenue upon completion of our performance obligation. We present revenue net of sales taxes, discounts, and expected refunds. We record an allowance for returns based on current period revenues and historical returns experience. We analyze actual historical returns, current economic trends and changes in order volume and acceptance of our products when evaluating the adequacy of the sales returns allowance in any accounting period.

 Generally, we require authorization from credit card or other payment vendors whose services we offer to our customers (such as PayPal), or verification of receipt of payment, before we ship products to consumers or business purchasers. From time to time we grant credit to our business purchasers with normal credit terms (typically 30 days). For sales in our partner business, we generally receive payments from our customers before our payments to our suppliers are due.

We evaluate the criteria outlined in ASC 606-10-55, Principal versus Agent Considerations, in determining whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of merchandise sales and related costs or the net amount earned as commissions. When we are the principal in a transaction and control the specific good or service before it is transferred to the customer, revenue is recorded gross; otherwise, revenue is recorded on a net basis. Currently, the majority of both direct revenue and partner revenue is recorded on a gross basis.

Revenue related to merchandise sales is recognized upon transfer of control to our customers which generally occurs upon delivery of the product to our customers. As such, customer orders are recorded as deferred revenue prior to delivery of products or services ordered. As we ship high volumes of packages through multiple carriers, it is not practical for us to track the actual delivery date of each shipment. Therefore, we use estimates to determine which shipments are delivered and, therefore, recognized as revenue at the end of the period. Our delivery date estimates are based on average shipping transit times, which are calculated using the following factors: (i) the type of shipping carrier (as carriers have different in-transit times); (ii) the fulfillment source (either our warehouses, those warehouses we control, or those of our partners); (iii) the delivery destination; and (iv) actual transit time experience, which shows that delivery date is typically one to eight business days from the date of shipment. We review and update our estimates on a quarterly basis based on our actual transit time experience. However, actual shipping times may differ from our estimates.

DuringGenerally, we require authorization from credit card or other payment vendors whose services we offer to our customers (such as PayPal), or verification of receipt of payment, before we ship products to consumers or business purchasers. From time to time we grant credit to our business purchasers with normal credit terms (typically 30 days). We generally receive payments from our customers before our payments to our suppliers are due. We do not recognize assets associated with costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer.

Shipping and handling is considered a fulfillment activity, as it takes place prior to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized $37.8 millioncustomer obtaining control of the merchandise, and fees charged to customers are included in net revenue included in Deferredupon completion of our performance obligation. We present revenue at December 31, 2017.net of sales taxes, discounts, and expected refunds.

TheOur merchandise sales contracts include terms that could cause variability in the transaction price for items such as discounts, credits, or sales returns. Accordingly, the transaction price for product sales includes estimates of variable consideration to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur. At the time of sale, we estimate a sales return liability for the variable consideration based on historical experience, which is recorded within Accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. We record an allowance for returns was $12.4 millionbased on current period revenues and $17.4 million at September 30, 2018historical returns experience.

When we are the principal in a transaction and control the specific good or service before it is transferred to the customer, revenue is recorded gross; otherwise, revenue is recorded on a net basis. Through contractual terms with our partners, we have the ability to control the promised goods or services and as a result record the majority of our retail revenue on a gross basis.

Our Other revenue occurs primarily through our broker dealer subsidiaries in our tZERO segment. We evaluate the revenue recognition criteria above for our broker dealer subsidiaries and we recognize revenue based on the gross amount of consideration that we expect to receive on securities transactions (commission revenue) on a trade date basis.

Direct revenue
Direct revenue is derived from merchandise sales of our owned inventory to individual consumers and businesses. Direct revenue comes from merchandise sales that occur primarily through our Website, but may also occur through offline and other channels.
Partner and other revenue
Partner and other revenue is derived primarily from merchandise sales of inventory sourced through our partners which are generally shipped directly to our consumers and businesses. Through contractual terms with our partners, we have the ability to control the promised goods or services and as a result record the majority of our partner revenue on a gross basis. Partner and other revenue comes from merchandise sales that occur primarily through our Website, but may also occur through offline and other channels, including through our broker dealer subsidiaries in our Other segment.

Club O loyalty program
 
We have a customer loyalty program called Club O Gold for which we sell annual memberships. For Club O Gold memberships, we record membership fees as deferred revenue and we recognize revenue ratably over the membership period.

The Club O Gold loyalty program allows members to earn Club O Reward dollars for qualifying purchases made on our Website. We also have a co-branded credit card program which provides Club O Gold members additional reward dollars for purchases made on our Website, and from other merchants.

EarnedCustomers may redeem Club O Reward dollars may be redeemed on future purchases made through our Website.Website, which conveys a material right to the customer. As such, the initial transaction price giving rise to the reward dollar is allocated to each separate performance obligation based upon its relative standalone selling price. In determining the stand-alone selling price, we incorporate assumptions about the redemption rates of loyalty points. We recognize revenue for Club O Reward dollars when customers redeem such rewards as part of a purchase on our Website.

We account for these transactions as multiple element arrangements and allocaterecord the transaction price to separated performance obligations using their relative fair values. We include the fairstandalone value of reward dollars earned in deferred revenue at the time the reward dollars are earned. Club O Reward dollars expire 90 days after the customer's Club O Gold membership expires. We recognize estimated reward dollar breakage, to which we expectedexpect to be entitled, over the expected redemption period in proportion to actual redemptions by customers. Upon adoption of Topic 606, Revenue Contracts with Customers, on January 1, 2018, we began classifying the breakage income related to Club O Reward dollars and gift cards as a component of Retail revenue in our consolidated statements of operations rather than as a component of Other income (expense), net. Breakage included in revenue was $1.3 million$923,000 and $4.2$1.3 million for the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018. We also recognized a cumulative adjustment that reduced Accumulated deficit by approximately $5.02019 and 2018 and $2.0 million upon adoption related toand $3.0 million for the unredeemed portion of our gift cardssix months ended June 30, 2019 and loyalty program rewards.2018.

Our total deferred revenue related to the outstanding Club O Reward dollars was $6.6$7.0 million and $8.7$6.9 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively. The timing of revenue recognition of these reward dollars is driven by actual customer activities, such as redemptions and expirations.

Advertising Revenue

Advertising revenues isare derived primarily from sponsored links and display advertisements that are placed on our Website, distributed via email, or sent out as direct mailers. Advertising revenue is recognized in netRetail revenue when the advertising services are rendered. Advertising revenues were less than 2% of total net revenues for all periods presented.

Revenue Disaggregation

Disaggregation of revenue by major product line is included in Segment Information in Note 12—Business Segments.

Deferred Revenue

When the timing of our provision of goods or services is different from the timing of the payments made by our customers, we recognize a contract liability (customer payment precedes performance).

Customer orders are recorded as deferred revenue prior to delivery of products or services ordered. We record amounts received for Club O Gold membership fees as deferred revenue and we recognize it ratably over the membership period. We record Club O Reward dollars earned from purchases as deferred revenue at the time they are earned based upon the relative standalone selling price of the Club O Reward dollar and we recognize it as Retail revenue in proportion to the estimated pattern of rights exercised by the customer. If reward dollars are not redeemed, we recognize Retail revenue upon expiration. In addition, we sell gift cards and record related deferred revenue at the time of the sale. We sell gift cards without expiration dates and we recognize revenue from a gift card upon redemption of the gift card. For the unredeemed portion of our gift cards and loyalty program rewards, we will recognize Retail revenue over the expected redemption period based upon the estimated pattern of rights exercised by the customer.

Sales returns allowance
We inspect returned items when they arrive at our processing facilities. We refund the full cost of the merchandise returned and all original shipping charges if the returned item is defective or we or our partners have made an error, such as shipping the wrong product. If the return is not a result of a product defect or a fulfillment error and the customer initiates a return of an unopened item within 30 days of delivery, for most products we refund the full cost of the merchandise minus the original shipping charge and actual return shipping fees. However, we reduce refunds for returns initiated more than 30 days after delivery or that are received at our returns processing facility more than 45 days after initial delivery. If our customer returns an item that has been opened or shows signs of wear, we issue a partial refund minus the original shipping charge and actual return shipping fees.
Revenue is recorded net of estimated returns. We record an allowance for returns based on current period revenues and historical returns experience. We analyze actual historical returns, current economic trends and changes in order volume and acceptance of our products when evaluating the adequacy of the sales returns allowance in any accounting period.

Cost of goods sold
 
CostOur Retail cost of goods sold includes product costs, warehousing costs, outbound shipping costs, handling and fulfillment costs, customer service costs, and credit card fees, and is recorded in the same period in which related revenues have been recorded. Our Other cost of goods sold primarily consists of exchange fees, clearing agent fees, and other exchange fees from our broker dealer subsidiaries in our tZERO segment. These fees are primarily for executing, processing, and settling trades on exchanges and other venues. These fees fluctuate based on changes in trade and share volumes, rate of clearance fees charged by clearing brokers, and exchanges.

Advertising expense
 
We expense the costs of producing advertisements the first time the advertising takes place and expense the cost of communicating advertising in the period during which the advertising space or airtime is used. Internet advertising expenses are recognized as incurred based on the terms of the individual agreements, which are generally: 1) a commission for traffic driven to our Website that generates a sale or 2) a referral fee based on the number of clicks on keywords or links to our Website generated during a given period. Advertising expense is included in Sales and marketing expenses and totaled $49.7$29.9 million and $41.2$88.9 million during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, advertising expensesexpense totaled $207.5$58.4 million and $114.6$157.8 million, respectively. Prepaid advertising (included in Prepaids and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets) was $1.2 million$367,000 and $987,000$961,000 at SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively.
 
Stock-based compensation
 
We measure compensation expense for all outstanding unvested share-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognize compensation expense over the service period for awards at the greater of a straight-line basis or on an accelerated schedule when vesting of the share-based awards exceeds a straight-line basis. When an award is forfeited prior to the vesting date, we recognize an adjustment for the previously recognized expense in the period of the forfeiture. See Note 9—10—Stock-Based Awards.

Self-funded health insurance
We have a partially self-funded health insurance plan for our employees. We maintain a stop-loss insurance policy through an insurance company that limits our losses both on a per employee basis and an aggregate basis. Although we intend to maintain this plan indefinitely, we may terminate, modify, suspend, or discontinue this plan at any time and for any reason.
We are responsible for estimating our liability for unpaid costs of insured events that have occurred, which includes known cases on a case-by-case basis, and also for events that have occurred, but have not yet been reported. The accrued liability related to the self-funded health insurance plan was $1.5 million and $1.0 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and is included in Accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Actual claims may differ from the amount accrued and any difference could be significant.
Loss contingencies
 
In the normal course of business, we are involved in legal proceedings and other potential loss contingencies. We accrue a liability for such matters when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of probable loss can be estimated, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. We expense legal fees as incurred (see Note 6—7—Commitments and Contingencies).


Income taxes

Our income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items, if any, for relevant interim periods. We update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate each quarter and make cumulative adjustments if our estimated annual effective tax rate changes.

Our quarterly tax provision and our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate are subject to significant variations due to several factors including variability in predicting our pre-tax and taxable income and the mix of jurisdictions to which those items relate, relative changes in expenses or losses for which tax benefits are not recognized, how we do business, fluctuations in our stock price, and changes in law, regulations, and administrative practices. Our effective tax rate can be volatile based on the amount of pre-tax income. For example, the impact of discrete items on our effective tax rate is greater when pre-tax income is lower.

Table of Contents




Each quarter we assess the recoverability of our deferred tax assets under ASC Topic 740. We assess the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether we will generate sufficient future taxable income to use our existing deferred tax assets. We have limited carryback ability and do not have significant taxable temporary differences to recover our existing deferred tax assets, therefore we must rely on future taxable income, including tax planning strategies, to support their realizability. We have established a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets not supported by carryback ability or taxable temporary differences, primarily due to uncertainty regarding our future taxable income. We have considered, among other things, the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 as a significant piece of objective negative evidence. We intend to continue maintaining a valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be adjusted if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight may be given to subjective evidence such as long-term projections for growth. We will continue to monitor the need for a valuation allowance against our remaining deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.

Tax laws and regulations themselves are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, the evolution of regulations, and court rulings. On December 22, 2017, the President signed into law Public Law No. 115-97, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA"), following its passage by the United States Congress. The TCJA made significant changes to U.S. federal income tax laws, mostly effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. Among many other changes, the new law lowers the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning in 2018, transitions U.S international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system, and includes a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of cumulativeWe have indefinitely reinvested foreign earnings as of December 31, 2017. Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118") was issued to address the application of US GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the TCJA. As noted$1.6 million at year-end, however, we were able to reasonably estimate certain effects and, therefore, recorded adjustments associated with the remeasurement of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities and the mandatory deemed repatriation of cumulative foreign earnings.

Our accounting for the following elements of the TCJA is complete. The expense related to the remeasurement of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities, based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, was $25.2 million. The expense related to the one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of cumulative foreign earnings was $47,000.June 30, 2019. We did not make any measurement-period adjustments related to these items during the quarter because there were no significant changes to our provisional amounts, and therefore, there is no impact to our effective tax rate due to measurement-period adjustments.

The TCJA includes a provision to tax global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") of foreign subsidiaries beginning in 2018. Under GAAP, we can make an accounting policy election to either treat taxes due on the GILTI inclusion as a current period expense, or factor such amounts into our measurement of deferred taxes. We will elect to treat any potential GILTI inclusions as a period cost as we are not projecting any material impact from GILTI inclusions and any deferred taxes related to any inclusion would be immaterial.

The TCJA included a mandatory deemed repatriation of cumulative foreign earnings for the year ended December 31, 2017, for which we accrued U.S. tax expense. However, we would still need to accrue and pay various other taxes on this amount if repatriated, which we haverepatriated. We do not provided for because we intend to indefinitely reinvestrepatriate these earnings outside the U.S. We have begun expansion of operations outside of the U.S. and have plans for additional expansion for which we have incurred

and will continue to incur capital requirements. We have considered ongoing capital requirements of the parent company in the U.S.earnings.

We are subject to taxation in the United States and several state and foreign jurisdictions. Tax years beginning in 20132014 are subject to examination by taxing authorities, although net operating loss and credit carryforwards from all years are subject to examinations and adjustments for at least three years following the year in which the attributes are used. We are underAn audit by the Ireland Revenue Agency for the calendar year 2016. We expect the audit to continue2016 was finalized during 2018.2019 with no assessment.

Net loss per share
 
In 2016, we issued shares of ourOur Blockchain Voting Series A Preferred Stock, Voting Series A-1 Preferred Stock, and our Voting Series B Preferred Stock (collectively the "preferred shares"). These shares are considered participating securities, and as a result, net loss per share is calculated using the two-class method. Under this method, we give effect to preferred dividends and then allocate remaining net loss attributable to our stockholders to both common shares and participating securities (based on the percentages outstanding) in determining net loss per common share.

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shares (after allocating between common shares and participating securities) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shares (after allocating between common shares and participating securities) by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period (after allocating total dilutive shares between our common shares outstanding and our preferred shares outstanding). Potential common shares, comprising incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, warrants, and restricted stock awards are included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share to the extent such shares are dilutive. Net loss attributable to common shares is adjusted for options and restricted stock awards issued by our subsidiaries when the effect of our subsidiary's diluted earnings per share is dilutive.

Recently adopted accounting standards

In May 2014,February 2016, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2014-09,Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Revenue from Contracts with CustomersLeases (Topic 606)842), which requires an entitylessees to recognize operating leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842; ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases; and ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize an ROU asset and lease liability on the amountbalance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of revenue to which it expects to be entitled forexpense recognition in the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. income statement.

We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2018 with a cumulative adjustment that reduced Accumulated deficit by approximately $5.0 million as opposed2019. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to retrospectively adjusting prior periods. The adjustment primarily relatesall leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the unredeemed portionbeginning of our gift cards and loyalty program rewards, which we will recognize over the expected redemptionearliest comparative period rather than waiting until the likelihood of redemption becomes remote or the rewards expire. We have also updated revenue disclosurespresented in the notes to our financial statements as its date of initial application. If an entity chooses the second option, the transition requirements for existing leases also apply to leases entered into between the date of initial application and the effective date. The entity must also recast its comparative period financial statements and provide the disclosures required under the new standard.

The implementation did not impact our gross and net recognition for our revenue transactions. In addition, we continue to recognize revenue related to merchandise sales upon delivery to our customers. However, we now present breakage on our Club O Rewards and gift cards in Partner and other revenue in our consolidated statement of operations rather as a component of Other expense, net.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which requires equity investments previously recognized under the cost method to be measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. We adopted the changes underby the new standard on January 1, 2018 on a prospective basis. The implementation of ASU 2016-01 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2016,for the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which requires amounts generally described as restricted cash be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown in the statement of cash flows.comparative periods. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2018 retrospectively to each period presented2019 and thus used the effective date as our date of initial application. Consequently, financial information has not been updated and the disclosures required under the new standard are not provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. Upon adoption we recognized cumulative operating lease liabilities of approximately $35.1 million and operating right-of-use assets of approximately $31.0 million which were reflected as non-cash items in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The implementationdifference of ASU 2016-18 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.$4.2 million represented deferred rent for leases that existed as of the date of adoption, which was an offset to the opening balance of right-of-use assets.

In January 2017,





The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition"package of a Business,practical expedients", which provides guidancepermits us to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. We adopted the changesnot reassess under the new standard on January 1, 2018 on a prospective basis. The implementation of ASU 2017-01our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs as well as the practical expedient pertaining to land easements. We did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently issued accounting standards

In February 2016,elect the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which, among other things, requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets related to the rights and obligations created by those leases.use-of-hindsight practical expedient. The new standard also requiresprovides practical expedients for an entity's ongoing accounting. We elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, we did not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of our leases.

The standard had a material effect on our financial statements, primarily related to (1) the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheet for our warehouse, office, data center, and equipment operating leases; and (2) providing significant new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows

arising from leases.about our leasing activities. The new standard becomes effective for us on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We plan to adopt this ASU beginning on January 1, 2019. The amendments in this update should be applied under a modified retrospective approach. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-02 will haveadditional operating liabilities on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.balance sheets were recognized based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for our existing operating leases, discounted by our incremental borrowing rate for borrowings of a similar duration on a fully secured basis, with corresponding ROU assets of approximately the same amount.

Verify Investor, LLCBUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Bitsy, Inc.

Through a series of transactions in 2018, Medici Ventures acquired a 33% equity interest in Bitsy, Inc. ("Bitsy"), a U.S.-based startup company that plans to build a regulatory-compliant bridge between the U.S. Dollar and cryptocurrencies and offer our customers the ability to purchase cryptocurrencies. Bitsy was founded by Steve Hopkins, Medici Ventures' former chief operating officer and general counsel, and current president of tZERO, who held a significant equity interest in Bitsy. On February 12,December 21, 2018, tZERO acquired 81%entered into a stock purchase agreement with the owners of Bitsy to acquire the totalremaining 67% equity interests of Verify Investor, LLC, an accredited investor verification company, for a total purchase price of $12.0 million in cash.

In connection with the Token Trading System thatDecember 2018 stock purchase agreement, Medici Ventures transferred its 33% equity interest in Bitsy to tZERO plansfor a $4.0 million convertible promissory note due December 31, 2020 and an assignment of certain intellectual property to develop and deploy. Medici Ventures.

We estimated the fair value of the acquired assets based on Level 3 inputs, which were unobservable (see Note 2—Accounting Policies, Fair value of financial instruments). These inputs included our estimate of future revenues, operating margins, discount rates, and assumptions about the relative competitive environment. As of March 31, 2019, our determination and allocation of the purchase price to net tangible and intangible assets was based upon preliminary estimates. During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, we received the final valuation information and completed our determination and allocation of the purchase price and recognized adjustments to the provisional values as of June 30, 2019, which decreased Intangible assets by $650,000, increased Deferred tax liabilities by $943,000 and resulted in a corresponding increase to Goodwill of $1.7 million. We recognized an impairment of $1.3 million as a result of remeasuring to fair value our 33% equity interest in Bitsy held before the business combination which was based on Level 3 inputs (see Note 2—Accounting Policies, Fair value of financial instruments). The impairment is included in Other income (expense), net in our consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Mac Warehouse, LLC

On June 25, 2018, we acquired 100% of the total equity interests of Mac Warehouse, LLC, an electronics retailer of refurbished Apple products, to complement our retail business. As of December 31, 2018, our determination and allocation of the purchase price to net tangible and intangible assets was based upon preliminary estimates. During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, we received the final valuation information and completed our determination and allocation of the purchase price and recognized adjustments to the provisional values as of March 31, 2019, which decreased the recognized Intangibles assets by $2.8 million, increased Accrued liabilities by $527,000, decreased Deferred tax liabilities by $837,000 and resulted in a corresponding increase to Goodwill of $2.5 million. Additionally, the change to the provisional amount resulted in a decrease in amortization expense and accumulated depreciation of $1.4 million, of which $981,000 relates to the year ended December 31, 2018, and a $459,000 increase in Other Income related to the Accrued Liabilities that were expensed in 2018. We estimated the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities based on Level 3 inputs, which were unobservable (see Note 2—Accounting Policies, Fair value of financial instruments). These inputs included our estimate of future revenues, operating margins, discount rates, royalty rates, and assumptions about the relative competitive environment.

The expense for amortizing intangible assets acquired in connection with this acquisition was $302,000 and $904,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

Acquired intangible assets primarily include technology, trade name, and customer relationships. As described above, we determined the fair value of these assets using an income approach method to determine the present value of expected future

cash flows for each identifiable intangible asset. This method was based on discount rates which incorporate a risk premium to take into account the risks inherent in those expected cash flows. The expected cash flows were estimated based on the company's historical operating results.

The acquired assets, liabilities, and associated operating results were consolidated into our financial statements at the acquisition dates, or the dates on which we obtained control of the acquired assets or interests.

Mac Warehouse, LLC

On June 25, 2018, we acquired 100% of the total equity interests of Mac Warehouse, LLC, an electronics retailer of refurbished Apple products, for a total purchase price of $1.2 million in cash. With the acquisition of Mac Warehouse, LLC, we plan to integrate the inventory and business processes of Mac Warehouse, LLC in our direct retail business. We estimated the fair value of the acquired assets based on Level 3 inputs, which were unobservable (see Note 2—Accounting Policies, Fair value of financial instruments). These inputs included our estimate of future revenues, operating margins, discount rates, royalty rates and assumptions about the relative competitive environment.

Determination and allocation of the purchase price to net tangible and intangible assets is based upon preliminary estimates. These preliminary estimates and assumptions could change significantly during the measurement period as we finalize the valuations of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any change could result in variances between our future financial results and the amounts recognized in the financial information presented below, including variances in fair values recorded, as well as expenses associated with these items.

The preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date are as follows (in thousands):

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal proceedings and contingencies

From time to time, we are involved in litigation concerning consumer protection, employment, intellectual property, claims under the securities laws, and other commercial matters related to the conduct and operation of our business and the sale of products on our Website. In connection with such litigation, we have been in the past and we may be in the future subject to significant damages. In some instances, other parties may have contractual indemnification obligations to us. However, such contractual obligations may prove unenforceable or non-collectible, and if we cannot enforce or collect on indemnification obligations, we may bear the full responsibility for damages, fees, and costs resulting from such litigation. We may also be subject to penalties and equitable remedies that could force us to alter important business practices. Such litigation could be costly and time consuming and could divert or distract our management and key personnel from our business operations. Due to the uncertainty of litigation and depending on the amount and the timing, an unfavorable resolution of some or all of thesesuch matters could materially affect our business, results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. The nature of the loss contingencies relating to claims that have been asserted against us are described below.

On September 23, 2009, SpeedTrack, Inc. sued us along with 27 other defendants in the United States District Court in the Northern District of California. We are alleged to have infringed a patent covering search and categorization software. We believe that certain third-party vendors of products and services sold to us are contractually obligated to indemnify us, and we have tendered defense of the case to an indemnitor who accepted the defense. On April 21, 2016, the court entered an order partially dismissing the claims against us. On May 4, 2016, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint, and we filed our answer. No estimate of the possible loss or range of loss can be made. We intend to continue vigorously defenddefending this action and pursuepursuing our indemnification rights with our vendors.

On February 11, 2013, RPost Holdings, Inc., RPost Communications Limited, and RMail Limited, filed suit against us in the United States District Court in the Eastern District of Texas for infringement of patents covering products and services that verify the delivery and integrity of email messages. We tendered defense of the case to an indemnitor who accepted the defense. No estimate ofOn June 27, 2019, the possible loss or range of loss can be made. We intendcourt granted a motion to vigorously defend this action and pursue our indemnification rights with our vendors.dismiss the case, thereby dismissing all claims asserted against us.

On September 20, 2018, a jury returned a verdict against us in our Delaware unclaimed property case, which is expected to result in a judgmentMarch 15, 2019, Consolidated Transaction Processing, LLC, filed suit against us in the amount of approximately $7.3 million (for certain unredeemed gift card balances, treble damages, and penalties) plus attorneys’ fees and costs.

On July 24, 2019, the case was dismissed.

In June 2013, William French ("French") and the State of Delaware ("Delaware") sued us, along with numerous other defendants, in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware for alleged violations of Delaware's unclaimed property laws. French and Delaware alleged that we knowingly refused to fulfill obligations under Delaware's Abandoned Property Law by failing to report and deliver unclaimed gift card funds to the State of Delaware, and knowingly made, used or caused to be made or used, false

statements and records to conceal, avoid or decrease an obligation to pay or transmit money to Delaware in violation of the Delaware False Claims and Reporting Act.

On June 28, 2019, the court entered a judgment against us in the amount of approximately $7.3 million (for certain unredeemed gift card balances, treble damages, and penalties) as a result of a jury verdict which was returned September 20, 2018. The court has not yet determined an award of attorneys’ fees and costs which will be added to the judgment. We intend to file an appeal once the judgment has been entered by the court.

Onappeal. Our estimated liability for these amounts was included in Accrued liabilities at June 21, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an opinion30, 2019. The expense associated with these litigation charges was included in general and administrative expense in our South Dakota sales tax case and ruled against us. The Stateconsolidated statement of South Dakota sued us along with three other defendants inoperations for the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court of South Dakota alleging that U.S. constitutional law should be revised to permit South Dakota to require out-of-state e-commerce websites to collect and remit sales tax in South Dakota in accordance with South Dakota's sales tax statute. Under the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling, the longstanding Quill Corp v. North Dakota sales tax case was overruled, and states may now require remote sellers to collect sales tax under certain circumstances. We began collecting sales tax in all 45 states that have sales tax. Pursuant to South Dakota’s statute, we are not required to pay sales tax retroactively. The U.S. Supreme Court’s opinion vacated and remanded the case back to the South Dakota Supreme Court for further proceedings.

On July 7, 2017, the State of Wyoming sued us along with five other defendants in the Second Judicial District Court of Wyoming. Wyoming alleged that U.S. constitutional law should be revised to permit Wyoming to require out-of-state e-commerce retailers to collect and remit sales tax in Wyoming in accordance with Wyoming's sales tax statute. After the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in our South Dakota case listed above, we began collecting sales tax in Wyoming. Wyoming’s statute does not require us to pay sales tax retroactively. The Wyoming case has not yet been dismissed.

On August 28, 2017, the State of Indiana sued us along with one other defendant in the Superior Court of Indiana, Marion County. Indiana alleged that U.S. constitutional law should be revised to permit Indiana to require out-of-state e-commerce retailers to collect and remit sales tax in Indiana in accordance with Indiana's sales tax statute. After the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in our South Dakota case listed above, we began collecting sales tax in Indiana. Indiana’s statute does not require us to pay sales tax retroactively. The Indiana case was dismissed August 16,year ended December 31, 2018.

In February 2018, the Division of Enforcement of the SEC informed tZERO and subsequently informed us that it is conducting an investigation and requested that we and tZERO voluntarily provide certain information and documents related to tZERO and the tZERO security token offering in connection with its investigation. In December of 2018, we received a follow-up request from the SEC relating to its investigation. We are cooperating fully with the SEC in connection with its investigation.

tZERO's broker-dealer subsidiaries are, and any broker-dealer subsidiaries that it acquires or forms in the future will be, subject to extensive regulatory requirements under federal and state laws and regulations and self-regulatory organization ("SRO") rules. Each of SpeedRoute LLC ("SpeedRoute") and PRO Securities LLC ("PRO Securities") is registered with the SEC as a broker-dealer under the Exchange Act and in the states in which it conducts securities business and is a member of FINRA and other SROs (as applicable). In addition, PRO Securities owns and operates the PRO Securities ATS, which is registered with the SEC as an alternative trading system. Each of SpeedRoute and PRO Securities is subject to regulation, examination, investigation, and disciplinary action by the SEC, FINRA, and state securities regulators, as well as other governmental authorities and SROs with which it is registered or licensed or of which it is a member. On February 22, 2018, the SEC's New York Regional Office notified PRO Securities that it is conducting an examination of PRO Securities, and on March 6, 2018 the SEC's Boston Regional Office notified tZERO Advisors that it is conducting an examination of tZERO Advisors. These examinations remain open.
AsMoreover, as a result of tZERO's projects seeking to apply distributed ledger technologies to the capital markets, tZERO's subsidiaries have been, and remain involved in, ongoing discussionsoral and written communications with regulatory authorities. While certain of the discussions have been relatively informal,As previously disclosed, tZERO's broker-dealer subsidiaries have also received and responded to several writtenare currently undergoing various examinations, inquiries, from FINRA relating toand/or investigations undertaken by various regulatory authorities; as appropriate or required, we will provide further information regarding such projects. While tZERO considers these continuing inquiries to be ordinary course in light of the non-traditional nature of tZERO's distributed ledger projects, anymatters. Any failure by tZERO's broker-dealer subsidiaries to satisfy their regulatory authorities that they are in compliance with all applicable rules and regulations could have a material adverse effect on tZERO and on us. In addition, a newly-incorporated tZERO subsidiary recently applied for regulatory approvals to operate as a broker-dealer in a variety of areas, including retail activities. The approval process will involve satisfying the regulatory authorities that the tZERO subsidiary can operate in the manner it proposes and, in addition, if approval is granted, the tZERO subsidiary will be subject to a number of legal and regulatory requirements, some of which will be new to tZERO’s broker-dealer subsidiaries. 
 
In addition, in December 2017, SpeedRoute receivedOn January 31, 2019, a letter from FINRA stating that the Department of Enforcement at FINRA has received a referral from the staff of FINRA's Department of Market Regulation relating to rules applicable to supervision and required supervisory procedures for review of certain potential trading activity, such as pre-arranged trades or wash trades. In addition, SpeedRoute continues to have discussions with FINRA about several matters, including a matter related to potential violations of FINRA rules relating to Order Audit Trail System reporting and trading practice matters, and has received document requests from FINRA in connection with certain ongoing matters. SpeedRoute has received and responded to inquiries from FINRA and the SEC. In an unrelated matter, SpeedRoute and PRO Securities have been named in a FINRA investigatory matter in which FINRA has conducted on the record interviews of certain senior officers of SpeedRoute and PRO Securities, who are also senior officers of tZERO.

On March 29, 2018, a purported securitiesputative class action lawsuit was filed against us and two of our executives in the United States District Court, in the CentralSouthern District of Utah,New York, alleging violationsthat our website violates the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") in addition to other New York specific laws, because it is not accessible to blind and visually impaired people. No estimate of the Securities Exchange Actpossible loss or range of 1934 ("Exchange Act"). On April 6, 2018, a substantially similar lawsuit was filed in the same court also naming the Company, and two of our executives as defendants, bringing the same claims under the Exchange Act, and seeking substantially similar relief. On June 20, 2018, the Court consolidated the two cases and appointed a lead plaintiff in the case. On August 7, 2018, the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit without prejudice.loss can be made. We intend to vigorously defend this action.

We have recognizedestablish liabilities for contingencies deemedwhen a particular contingency is probable and estimable totaling $10.3 million and $608,000 at Septemberestimable. At June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, we have accrued $10.1 million and $10.3 million, respectively, which are included in Accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. It is reasonably possible that the actual losses may exceed our accrued liabilities.

7.8. INDEMNIFICATIONS AND GUARANTEES
 
During our normal course of business, we have made certain indemnities, commitments, and guarantees under which we may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include, but are not limited to, indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease, the environmental indemnity we entered into in favor of the lenders under our prior loan agreements, customary indemnification arrangements in underwriting agreements and similar agreements, and indemnities to our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. The duration of these indemnities, commitments, and guarantees varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite. In addition, the majority of these indemnities, commitments, and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make. As such, we are unable to estimate with any reasonableness our potential exposure under these items. We have not recorded any liability for these indemnities, commitments, and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We do, however, accrue for losses for any known contingent liability, including those that may arise from indemnification provisions, when future payment is both probable and reasonably estimable.

9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Common Stock

Each share of common stock has the right to one vote. The holders of common stock are also entitled to receive dividends declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available, subject to prior rights of holders of all classes of stock outstanding having priority rights as to dividends. No dividends have ever been declared or paid on our common stock.stock through June 30, 2019.

Preferred Stock

On May 1, 2019, we informed holders of our Blockchain Voting Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Series A Preferred"), of an opportunity to exchange (the "Exchange") outstanding Series A Preferred for newly-issued shares of the Company's Digital Voting Series A-1 Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Series A-1 Preferred"). On June 26, 2019, the Exchange was completed for participating stockholders. In connection with the Exchange, 122,526 shares of Series A Preferred were validly tendered and accepted for exchange by the Company and the Company issued 122,526 shares of Series A-1 Preferred in exchange therefore.

On June 26, 2019, in connection with the completion of the Exchange, 1,144 shares of Series A Preferred were converted into shares of Voting Series B Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred") (such transaction, the "Conversion"). Following the Conversion, 2,895 shares of Series A Preferred remained outstanding as of June 30, 2019 and in July 2019, 2,020 of those remaining shares were exchanged for shares of Series A-1 Preferred and 875 of those remaining shares were converted into shares of Series B Preferred. Following that time, the Company eliminated the Series A Preferred by filing a Certificate of Elimination with the Delaware Secretary of State.

Each share of Series A Preferred, each share of Series A-1 Preferred, and each share of Series B Preferred (collectively the "preferred shares") is intended to have voting and dividend rights similar to those of one share of common stock. Preferred shares rank senior to common stock with respect to dividends. Holders of the preferred shares will be entitled to an annual cash dividend of $0.16 per share, in preference to any dividend payment to the holders of the common stock, out of funds of the Company legally available for payment of dividends and subject to declaration by our Board of Directors. Holders of the preferred shares are also entitled to participate in any cash dividends we pay to the holders of the common stock and are also entitled to participate in non-cash dividends we pay to holders of the common stock, subject to potentially different treatment if we effect a stock dividend, stock split, or combination of the common stock. There are no arrearages in cumulative preferred dividends. We declared and paid a cash dividend of $0.16 per share onto the holders of our preferred stock during 2017.2017 and 2018.

Neither the Series A Preferred, orSeries A-1 Preferred, nor Series B Preferred is convertiblerequired to be converted into or exchangeableexchanged for shares of our common stock or any other entity; however, at our sole discretion, we may convert the Series A Preferred shares or Series A-1 Preferred shares into Series B Preferred shares at any time on a one-to-one basis. Until the third anniversary of the original issuance date,December 15, 2019, we may redeem, at our discretion, both the Series A, Series A-1, and Series B Preferred shares for an amount equal to the highest of the following: (1) the subscription price$15.68 plus any accrued but unpaid dividends, (2) 105% of the average trading price of our common stock during a five-trading-day period and (3) 105% of the average trading price of the series of preferred shares during the same five-day-trading period. In the event of any liquidation, any amount available for distribution to stockholders after payment of all liabilities will be distributed proportionately, with each share of Series A Preferred, each share of Series A-1 Preferred, and each share of Series B Preferred being treated as though it were a share of our common stock.


JonesTrading Sales Agreement

In August 2018, we entered into a sales agreement with JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC ("JonesTrading"), under which we conducted "at the market" public offerings of our common stock during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 and may conduct additional "at the market" public offerings of our common stock from time to time. Under the sales agreement, JonesTrading, acting as our agent, may offer our common stock in the market on a daily basis or otherwise as we request from time to time. We have no obligation to sell additional shares under the sales agreement, but expect to do so from time to time. We will pay JonesTrading up to a 2.0% sales commission on all sales. The sales agreement contemplates sales of up to $150 million of our common stock over a period of up to three years. As of September 30, 2018, we had sold 2,883,3445,843,147 shares of our common stock pursuant to the sales agreement and have received $94.6resulting in $146.7 million in proceeds, net of $2.6$3.3 million of offering costs, including commissions paid to JonesTrading. Of the cumulative amount sold under the sales agreement, we sold shares of common stock for $52.1 million, net of offering expenses (including commissions) during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The average gross price per share of stock sold pursuant to the sales agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $17.84.






tZERO Tokens

On December 18, 2017, tZERO launched an offering (the "security token offering") of the right to acquire tZERO Preferred Equity Tokens (the "tZERO Security Token") through a Simple Agreement for Future Equity ("SAFE"). The security token offering closed on August 6, 2018 and funded through August 8, 2018, and on October 12, 2018 tZERO distributed the tZERO Security Tokens in settlement of the SAFEs. tZERO Security Token holders have the right to, prior to distributing earnings to tZERO common shareholders, a noncumulative dividend equal to 10% of tZERO's consolidated Adjusted Gross Revenue (as defined by the security token offering documents) for the most recently completed fiscal quarter, if declared by tZERO's Board of Directors, to be paid out of funds lawfully available on a quarterly basis. tZERO Security Token holders are not entitled to participate in any dividends paid to the holders of tZERO's common stock, have no rights to vote, and have no rights to the undistributed earnings of tZERO and are not entitled to any utility functionality as part of the tZERO Security Tokens. Any remaining undistributed earnings or losses of tZERO for a period shall be allocated to the noncontrolling interest held by the tZERO Security Token holders based on the contractual participation rights of the security to share in those earnings as if all the earnings for the period had been distributed and the effect will be reflected in determining net income/(loss) per share under the two-class method. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of tZERO, the tZERO Security Token holders will be entitled to the limited preferential liquidation rights equal to USD $0.10 per token to the extent funds are available.

At December 31, 2018, cumulative proceeds since December 18, 2017 from the security token offering totaling $104.8 million, net of $22.0 million of withdrawals, were classified as a component of noncontrolling interest within our consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2018, tZERO incurred $21.5 million of offering costs associated with the security token offering that are classified as a reduction in proceeds within noncontrolling interest of our consolidated financial statements. During the six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018, excludingproceeds from the security token offering were $95.9 million, net of $22.0 million of withdrawals. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, tZERO incurred offering costs was $33.71.of $16.5 million.

JonesTrading Standby EquityGSR Agreement

In August 2018 we also entered into a standby equity underwriting agreement with JonesTrading. We did not sell any shares under the standby equity underwriting agreement, and the agreement terminated in accordance with its terms during the quarter ended September 30, 2018. Under the standby underwriting agreement, we had the right, but no obligation, to sell up to $50 million of our common stock to JonesTrading, as underwriter, for sale to the public in a firm commitment public offering. We paid a 1% commitment fee to JonesTrading for entering into the underwriting agreement.

GSR Agreements

As previously announced, in August 2018, Overstock signed a Token Purchase Agreement with GSR Capital Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company ("GSR"), and a term sheet contemplating a sale of Overstock common stock to GSR. Concurrently, tZERO signed a term sheet contemplating a sale of tZERO common stock to GSR.

. The Token Purchase Agreement sets forth the terms on which GSR had agreed to purchase, for $30 million, on May 6, 2019 or such other date as may be agreed by the parties, security tokens at a price of $6.67 per security token. These security tokens wereOn May 8, 2019, the parties executed an Investment Agreement to replace the Token Purchase Agreement under which GSR agreed to purchase 508,710 shares of tZERO common stock, representing approximately 0.5% of the issued and outstanding common stock of tZERO. In exchange, GSR agreed to transfer to tZERO a total $5.0 million in consideration, consisting of $1.0 million U.S. dollars, $1.0 million U.S. dollars' worth of Chinese Renminbi, and securities traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with a market value on the date of the Investment Agreement of $3.0 million U.S. dollars. As of June 30, 2019, GSR had not fully completed the funding by tZERO to Overstockthe anticipated closing date as outlined in satisfactionthe Investment Agreement. As of $30June 30, 2019, GSR had provided $1.0 million of tZERO's indebtednessUSD, and such amount is included in Accrued liabilities at June 30, 2019. Subsequent to Overstock. We may be required to obtainJune 30, 2019, GSR provided an additional tokens in order to fulfill our obligations under the agreement. The agreement states that the obligations$1.0 million of GSR to complete the transaction described will be subject to conditions, some of which are unidentified.
Overstock, tZERO and GSR are currently negotiating definitive agreements for GSR's purchase of Overstock common stock and tZERO common stock. Although we continue to negotiate the terms, GSR has proposed purchasing fewer shares and at a lower price per share than those described in the Overstock term sheet. We believe that if a definitive agreement is reached regarding the purchase of tZERO shares, the terms, including the post money valuation of tZERO, may be less favorable than those described in the tZERO term sheet. Both the Overstock and tZERO term sheets constitute binding agreements for the parties to negotiate in good faith the terms of the transaction documents; however, the obligation to negotiate in good faith terminates on December 15, 2018, if any of the closing conditions, one of which is the negotiation, execution and delivery of mutually acceptable transaction documents, have not been satisfied. While we expect to complete these transactions, there can be no assurance that Overstock, tZERO or GSR will enter into definitive agreements regarding either of the proposed transactions.USD.

Warrants

On November 8, 2017, we issued warrants to purchase up to a combined aggregate of 3,722,188 shares of our common stock to two purchasers in privately negotiated transactions, for an aggregate purchase price of $6.5 million, net of issuance costs. The exercise price for the warrants was $40.45 per share of common stock. On December 29, 2017, one of the warrant holders exercised its warrant in full and purchased a total of 2,472,188 shares of common stock for $100.0 million. On January 17, 2018, the other warrant holder exercised its warrant in full and purchased 1,250,000 shares of common stock for $50.6 million.

12. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Segment information has been prepared in accordance with ASC Topic 280 Segment Reporting. As described in Note 1—Basis of Presentation, we have recast our segment information to conform with current year presentation. We determined our segments based on how we manage our business, which,business. In the fourth quarter of 2018, we completed our review of our segment reporting and in light of a strategic shift in our view, consists primarilyChief Operating Decision Maker's long-term strategic focus for our organization, we no longer consider the split of retail direct and retail partner as a distinct and relevant measure of our Retail and Medici businesses. Our Retail business consists of ourbusiness. Accordingly, Direct and Partner are no longer considered separate reportable segments.segments but are included under Retail in our Business Segment disclosures. Beginning in the first quarter of 2019, we began allocating corporate support costs (administrative functions such as finance, human resources, and legal) to our operating segments based on their estimated usage and based on how we manage our business. Comparative prior year information has not been recast and as a result our corporate support costs for those comparative prior periods remain allocated to our Retail segment. Our Medici business includes one reportable segment, tZERO. We use gross profitpre-tax net income (loss) as the measure to determine our reportable segments because there is not discrete financial information available below gross profit for our Direct and Partner segments. As a result, the remainder of our Medici business is not significant as compared to our DirectRetail and Partner segments and is included in Other.tZERO segments. Our Other segment consists of Medici VenturesVentures' remaining operations and its subsidiaries, including tZERO. Althoughthe remainder of our Direct and Partner segments both relate to our Retail business, we do not combine these segments because they have dissimilar economic characteristics,unallocated corporate support costs (administrative functions such as gross profit margins. finance, human resources, and legal).

Our Retail segment primarily consists of amounts earned through e-commerce sales through our Website. 

Our tZERO segment primarily consists of amounts earned through securities transactions through our broker-dealers and costs incurred to execute our tZERO business initiatives.

We do not allocate assets between our segments for our internal management purposes, and as such, they are not presented here. There were no significant inter-segment sales or transfers during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 2017.2018.

Our Business

Retail Business

Our retail business, through June 30, 2019, generated nearly all of our net revenues. In our retail business, our goal is to provide goods to furnish and accessorize "dream homes" for our target customers—consumers who seek quality, stylish merchandise at bargain prices. At June 30, 2019, we dealoffered 3.4 million products (9.4 million SKUs), of which over 99% were in-line products (products in active production), including more than 30,000 private label products offered under twelve private label brands. We believe that the furniture and home goods market, which is highly fragmented and has traditionally been served by brick and mortar stores, will continue transitioning to online sales, particularly as Millennial consumers (defined as those aged 20-36), who are generally comfortable shopping online, start families and move into new homes. We regularly change our product assortment to meet the evolving preferences of our customers and current trends. Our products include, among others, furniture, home décor including rugs, bedding and bath, home improvement, and kitchen items. We compete primarily based on:

Quality customer experience with an emphasis on price, value, and a wide assortment of products delivered in price-competitive, newa personalized format with the convenience of our mobile app, and replenishable merchandisewith the benefits of our award-winning customer care;
Proprietary technologies which we believe help us provide our customers with a quality shopping experience;
Logistics capabilities tailored to the furniture and home goods category and developed over our many years of e-commerce experience;
Long-term mutually beneficial relationships with our partners, which currently number approximately 4,000; and
Our Club O Loyalty Program, which we believe increases customer engagement and retention.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2019, nearly all our retail sales through our Website were from transactions in which we fulfilled orders through our network of approximately 4,000 third-party manufacturers, distributors and other suppliers ("partners") selling on our Website. Our use of the Internet to aggregate both supply and demand to create an efficient marketplace for selling these products.term "partner" does not mean that we have formed any legal partnerships with any of our retail partners. We provide our customers an opportunity to conveniently shop for a broad range of price-competitive products. We continually add new, and sometimes limited, inventory to our Website in order to create an atmosphere that encourages customers to visit frequently and purchase products before our inventory sells out. We provide supplierspartners with access to a large customer base and convenient services for order fulfillment, customer service, returns handling, and other services. The merchandise offered onOur supply chain allows us to ship directly to our customers from our suppliers or from our warehouses. Our retail sales also includes direct sales of our own inventory shipped from our warehouses, including some customer returns of partner products.

During the quarters ended June 30, 2019, 2018 our sales were almost entirely to customers located in the United States and no single customer accounted for more than 1% of our total net revenue.

Our use of the term "partner" does not mean that we have formed any legal partnerships with any of our partners. These third-party partners generally perform the same fulfillment operations as our warehouses, such as order picking and shipping; however, we handle returns and customer service related to substantially all orders placed through our Website. Revenue generated from sales on our Shopping site from both the direct and partner businesses is recorded net of returns, coupons and other discounts.

Both direct and partnerRetail revenues are seasonal, with revenues historically being the highest in the fourth quarter, which ends December 31, reflecting higher consumer holiday spending. WeWhile we had lower sales volume during Q4 2018, we anticipate this willthe trend of higher sales volume during our fourth quarter to continue for the foreseeable future. To the extent possible we maintain supplier relationships and seek new supplier relationships for both our direct and partner businesses, and also use our working capital, to ensure a continuous allotment of product offerings for our customers. Because a portion of our product offerings are closeout merchandise, some of our suppliers cannot supply products to us on a continuous basis.

Medici Ventures

Medici Ventures' strategy is to develop and advance the concepts of "Government as a Service" and a "Technology Stack for Civilization" by creating or fostering a set of products and solutions that leverage theblockchain technology to generate efficiencies and increase security transparency and immutability of cryptographically protected, distributed ledgers, such as blockchains, and are focused on solving important problems, including financial transaction issues, particularlycontrol in thesix areas of securities settlement,civilizational necessity: identity management, property rights and management, central banking and currencies, capital markets, supply chains and commerce, and voting systems. A blockchain is a cryptographically secured, distributed infrastructure, or network, which may be accessed and, in some cases, maintained by each member of the network. Medici Ventures has a team of approximately 41 software engineers, developers and other technologists who work in blockchain development and deployment and enterprise level software development and deployment. Medici Ventures provides the services of its software engineers, developers, or other technologists to other blockchain companies. Medici Ventures also owns strategic minority equity interests in several blockchain-related companies, each of which focuses on at least one of the Government as a Service or Technology Stack for Civilization areas mentioned above. Medici Ventures takes an active interest in and holds seats on the boards of some of these companies. These companies include technology companies whose focuses include commercial blockchain applications capital markets applications, digital currency,for identity and social media, property and land, money and banking, applications, compliance, personal identity, voting,capital markets, supply chain, social media, and property and land applications. Our wholly-owned subsidiary,voting. All of the companies in which Medici Ventures conductsholds strategic equity interests are startup businesses, businesses in the development stage, or businesses with a short operating history. The majority of Medici Ventures' business is its primary business through its majority-owned subsidiary80% interest in tZERO, which, includesas described below, is a financial technology company two related registered broker dealers, a registered investment advisor, and an accredited investor verification company. tZERO also holds minority interestspursuing potential financial applications for blockchain technologies.

tZERO is a financial services companies, includingtechnology company pursuing financial applications utilizing blockchain technologies as well as non-blockchain technologies. tZERO’s primary focus at present is on its recent launch of a facility for the trading of digital security tokens on an equity interest in aAlternative Trading System ("ATS") and on its joint venture with BOX Digital Markets LLC ("BOX Digital") intended to pursue the development of the first U.S. security token exchange.
As described further in Item 1 of Part I, "Financial Statements (Unaudited)"—Note 10. Business Segments, we determined our segments based on how we manage our business, which, in our view, consists primarily of our Retail and Medici businesses. As described above, our Retail business consists of our Direct and Partner reportable segments. We use gross profit as the measure to determine our reportable segments because there is not discrete financial information available below gross profit for our Direct and Partner segments. As a result, our Medici business risk is not significant as compared to our Direct and Partner segments and is included in Other. Our Other segment consists of Medici Ventures and its subsidiaries, including tZERO.

Recent tZERO Business Developments

An important part of tZERO's strategy is to buy, build, or partner with other entities in order to aggregate all the necessary components to have end-to-end ownership of the first fully regulated security token trading, clearing and settlement platform. As previously announced in early 2018, tZERO purchased a 24% equity interest in StockCross Financial Services, Inc. ("StockCross"), which is an affiliate of Siebert Financial Corp. ("Siebert"), and an interest in Siebert, for $12 million. tZERO also purchased a 1% interest in Kennedy Cabot Acquisition, the majority stockholder of Siebert, and an interest in Siebert, for $1 million. Our equity interest in StockCross was a step toward achieving our strategy by adding a partner with the custodial and clearing functionality ofdevelop a U.S. DTCC member firm. We also intendednational securities exchange (the "Exchange") with regulatory approvals that would enable the Exchange to enter into definitive agreements with StockCross to act as an Introducing Broker and Clearing Broker for security token trading. tZERO has decided not to enter into a definitive agreement with StockCross for security token trading. tZERO anticipates that StockCross may license tZERO's Digital Locate Receipt software upon agreement of mutually acceptable terms. tZERO expects that the stock loan agreement currently in place between StockCross and tZERO's subsidiary SpeedRoute will remain in place.

In addition, as previously announced in early 2018, tZERO entered into a letter of intent contemplating that tZERO would acquire 81% of the outstanding membership interests of Weeden Prime Services, LLC ("WPS"), a U.S. registered broker-dealer, for $18 million through a series of transactions beginning in the third quarter of 2018. tZERO has also decided not to enter into a definitive agreement with WPS. Accordingly, in October 2018, tZERO notified these parties that it no longer intends to pursue such agreements.

During the third quarter of 2018, tZERO began evaluating alternative strategic relationships that may replace one or more roles tZERO expected StockCross to fulfill. tZERO believes it has identified suitable candidates to perform these roles but has not yet entered into definitive agreements with those parties. Management of tZERO will continue to devote time and resources to identify the necessary components for tZERO's trading ecosystem and enter into appropriate licensing and/or other contractual arrangements with one or more entities. Doing so will likely require capital and may cause delays to the development and launch of tZERO's planned trading platform.trade digital securities.

tZERO continues to identify, evaluate and StockCross, including their affiliates,pursue various opportunities for strategic acquisitions or purchases of interests to add to the services and expertise it offers its customers. Subject to board approval, tZERO's management exercises substantial discretion in identifying appropriate strategic transactions and negotiating the terms of such transactions. Management's determinations are based on numerous financial, strategic and operational assumptions, and there can be no assurance that such assumptions will prove to be true. Moreover, such strategic transactions may fail to produce the benefits expected at the time of tZERO's acquisitions or purchases of interests.

The businesses, products, and services that tZERO is pursuing or contemplating will require substantial additional funding, initially for technology development and regulatory compliance, as well as for working capital, marketing and sales, and other substantial costs of developing new products and businesses in emerging areas of technology. These costs have a number of business relationships,been and the resolution of some of those relationships are undetermined at this time but could include tZERO's sale of its equity interest in StockCrossexpected to continue to be material, both to tZERO and its affiliates, and/or the possibility of entering into new business relationships with StockCross under terms not previously considered. At present, tZERO expects that the stock loan agreement currently in place between StockCross and tZERO’s subsidiary SpeedRoute will remain in place through its expiration date of March 31, 2019. tZERO does not currently expect the foregoing matters to affect the December 31, 2017 agreement among tZERO, SpeedRoute and Muriel Siebert & Co. Inc. ("Muriel Siebert") pursuant to which Muriel Siebert is currently advertising discounted online trading of U.S. equity securities on Overstock's website; however, revenues associated with such services are currently immaterial to Overstock.

This decrease was primarily driven by increaseddue to decreased product sales that resulted from a significant reduction in sales and marketing expenses asactivities, which was part of our effort to return to retail profitability. In January 2018, we continuedshifted our retail strategy to more aggressively pursue revenue growth and new customers earlywith a large increase in the quarter. However, we shifted oursales and marketing expenses. We discontinued this strategy in early August as we sought2018 and have returned to minimize losses, which tapered our revenue growth throughout the quarter. We also saw a 6% increasedisciplined approach to marketing.

Gross profit in average order size (excluding promotional activities)Q2 2019 decreased 19% compared to Q2 2018 primarily due to a continued sales mix shift into home and garden products. These increases werethe decrease in net revenue in the retail business, partially offset by an increase in gross margin. Gross margin increased to 19.8% in Q2 2019, compared to 19.0% in Q2 2018. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to decreased product costs and decreased promotional activities, including coupons and site sales, (which we recognize as a reduction of revenue) due to our driving a higherlower proportion of our sales using such promotions, and an increasepromotions. These decreases in marketplace sales (for which we record only our commission as revenue). While our marketing spend efficiency has improved significantly during Q3 2018, we continue to face challenges in our natural search marketing.

Gross profit in Q3 2018 increased 4% compared to Q3 2017 primarily as a result of revenue growth. Grossgross margin was 19.7% in Q3 2018, unchanged from Q3 2017.

As part of this effort, to aggressively pursue increased revenue and new customers earlywe significantly reduced spending in the quarter. This included significantly increased spending in thesponsored search, display ads on social media, sponsored search, and direct mailtelevision marketing channels, as well as increased staff-related costs.channels.

Technology expenses in Q3 2018Q2 2019 increased $5.1 million$730,000 compared to Q3 2017,Q2 2018 primarily due to an increase in staff-related costs of $3.4 million and ana $678,000 increase in technology licenses and maintenance of $1.6 million.costs.

In addition, we had a $5.1$1.0 million increase in staff-related costs,expenses and a $3.2 million$722,000 increase in corporate insurance costs. These increases were partially offset by a $3.6 million decrease in legal fees, a $2.7 million decrease in consulting expenses, and outside services.a $1.2 million decrease in travel expenses.

Liquidity

In Q3 2018, ourOur consolidated cash and cash equivalents balance increased $29.8decreased from $141.5 million from $152.2as of December 31, 2018 to $121.3 million, to $182.0as of June 30, 2019, a decrease of $20.2 million, primarily as the result of cash inflowsoutflows from operating activities of $94.6$65.9 million net of offering costs,for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which was partially offset by cash inflows from the sale of common stock under our "at the market" sales agreement with JonesTrading and a $6.7of $52.1 million, cash inflow fromnet of offering costs (including commissions) during the capital contributions received by a consolidated subsidiary, Medici Land Governance, which was partially offset by cash outflows from operating activitiesfirst half of $50.2 million for the quarter and $14.1 million in cash outflows related to acquisitions of equity interests in other entities and $7.9 million in expenditures for fixed assets.2019.

We continue to seek opportunities for growth in our retail business, through our Medici blockchain and financial technology initiatives, and through other means. As a result of these initiatives, we will continue to incur additional expenses and may purchase interests in, or make acquisitions of, other technologies or businesses. We anticipate that our initiatives may cause us to continue to incur losses in the foreseeable future. These losses, additional expenses, acquisitions or purchases may be material, and, coupled with existing marketing expense trends, and potential strategic changes in our retail business, may lead to increased consolidated losses in some periods, and to reduced liquidity. Additionally, we may recognize additional impairment charges from our ownership interests in other entities.

The increased20% decrease in total net revenue for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, as compared to the same period in 2017, was primarily driven by increased marketing expenses as we more aggressively pursued revenue growth and new customers. Our increased marketing expenses resulted in a 5% increase in orders, and we also saw a 6% increase in average order size (excluding promotional activities) primarily due to a continued sales mix shift into home and garden products.

We continue to seek increased participation in our Club O loyalty program, including, in certain instances, by increasing Club O Rewards to our Club O members in lieu of coupons we offer to all customers. For additional information regarding our Club O loyalty program see Item 1 of Part I, "Financial Statements (Unaudited)"—Note 2. Accounting Policies, Club O loyalty program.

The shift of business from direct to partner (or vice versa) is an economic result based on the economics of each particular product offering at the time and we generally do not have particular goals for an "appropriate" mix or percentage for the size of either. Although we have experienced a trend from direct revenue to partner revenue in recent years, we believe that the mix of the business between direct and partner remains consistent with our strategic objectives for our business model and we do not currently foresee material shifts in this trend.

The products and product lines we offer, and their respective percentages of our revenue, are based on many factors including customer demand, our marketing efforts, promotional pricing, joint-marketing offered by our suppliers, the types of inventory we are able to obtain and the number of SKUs we offer. These factors change frequently and can affect the mix of the product lines we sell. We have experienced a trend toward our home and garden category in recent years and we have recently focused our marketing and branding efforts towards our home and garden product line. We are also working to increase the number of SKUs we offer. While we do not currently expect any material shifts in our product line mix, the relative amounts of the product lines we sell and the revenue we earn from those product lines are generally an economic result of the factors described above, which may change from time to time.

International net revenues were less than 3% of total net revenues for each of the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 2017.2018.

Change in estimate of average transit times (days)
 
Revenue related to merchandise sales is recognized upon delivery to our customers. As we ship high volumes of packages through multiple carriers, it is not practical for us to track the actual delivery date of each shipment. Therefore, we use estimates to determine which shipments are delivered and, therefore, recognized as revenue at the end of the period. Our delivery date estimates are based on average shipping transit times. We review and update our estimates on a quarterly basis based on our actual transit time experience. However, actual shipping times may differ from our estimates.
 

The following table shows the effect that hypothetical changes in the estimate of average shipping transit times would have had on the reported amount of revenue and pre-tax income for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 (in thousands):

Fulfillment costs

Fulfillment costs include all warehousing costs, including fixed overhead and variable handling costs (excluding packaging costs), as well as credit card fees and customer service costs, all of which we include as costs in calculating gross margin. We believe that some companies in our industry, including some of our competitors, account for fulfillment costs within operating expenses, and therefore exclude fulfillment costs from gross margin. As a result, our gross margin may not be directly comparable to others in our industry.

Operating expenses
 
Sales and marketing expenses

 We use a variety of methods to target our consumer audience, including online campaigns, such as advertising through keywords, product listing ads, display ads, search engines, affiliate marketing programs, social coupon websites, portals, banners, e-mail, direct mail and viral and social media campaigns. We also do brand advertising through television, radio, print ads, and event sponsorships.

Costs associated with our discounted shipping and other promotions, such as coupons, are not included in sales and marketing expense. Rather, they are accounted for as a reduction in revenue as they reduce the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for goods or services and therefore affect net revenues and gross margin. We consider discounted shipping and other promotions, such as our policy of free shipping on orders over $45, as an effective marketing tool, and intend to continue to offer them as we deem appropriate as part of our overall marketing plan.

Technology expenses
 
We seek to invest efficiently in technology, including web services, customer support solutions, website search, expansion of new and existing product categories, and in investments in technology to enhance the customer experience, improve our process efficiency and support and expand our logistics infrastructure. We expect to continue to increase our technology expenses to support these initiatives and these increases may be material.

The frequency and variety of cyberattacks on our Website, our corporate systems, and on third parties that we use to support our technology continuecontinues to increase. The impact of such attacks, their costs, and the costs we incur to protect ourselves against future attacks have not been material. However, we consider the threat fromrisk introduced by cyberattacks to be serious and will continue to incur costs related to efforts to protect ourselves against them.

Income taxes

Our income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items, if any, for relevant interim periods. We update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate each quarter and make cumulative adjustments if our estimated annual effective tax rate changes.

Our quarterly tax provision and our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate are subject to significant variations due to several factors including variability in predicting our pre-tax and taxable income and the mix of jurisdictions to which those items relate, relative changes in expenses or losses for which tax benefits are not recognized, how we do business, fluctuations in our stock price, and changes in law,laws, regulations, and administrative practices. Our effective tax rate can be volatile based on the amount of pre-tax income. For example, the impact of discrete items on our effective tax rate is greater when pre-tax income is lower.

Our benefit fromexpense/(benefit) for income taxes for the ninethree and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 and 2018 was $(622,000) and 2017 was $445,000$(27,000) and $7.7 million.$256,000 and $(304,000), respectively. The effective tax rate for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 and 2018 was (0.4)% and 2017 was 0.3% and 33.8%, respectively. The decrease in theOur low effective tax rate is primarily attributable to the valuation allowance we are maintaining on our net deferred tax

assets and a decrease in pre-tax income during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017. assets.
 
We have indefinitely reinvested foreign earnings of $1.3$1.6 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2018.2019. We would need to accrue and pay various taxes on this amount if repatriated. We do not intend to repatriate these earnings.

We are subject to taxation in the United States and several state and foreign jurisdictions. Tax years beginning in 20132014 are subject to examination by taxing authorities, although net operating loss and credit carryforwards from all years are subject to examinations and adjustments for at least three years following the year in which the attributes are used. We are underAn audit by the Ireland Revenue Agency for the calendar year 2016. We expect the audit to continue2016 was finalized during 2018.

Each quarter we assess the recoverability2019 with no assessment. For additional information see Item 1 of our deferred tax assets under ASC 740. We assess the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether we will generate sufficient future taxable income to use our existing deferred tax assets. We have limited carryback ability and do not have significant taxable temporary differences to recover our existing deferred tax assets, therefore we must rely on future taxable income, including tax planning strategies, to support their realizability. We have established a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets not supported by carryback ability or taxable temporary differences, primarily due to uncertainty regarding our future taxable income. We have considered, among other things, the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended September 30, 2018 as a significant piece of objective negative evidence. We intend to continue maintaining a valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be adjusted if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight may be given to subjective evidence such as long-term projections for growth. We will continue to monitor the need for a valuation allowance against our remaining deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.Part I, "Financial Statements (Unaudited)"—Note 2. Accounting Policies, Income taxes.

Seasonality

Based upon our historical experience, revenue typically increases during the fourth quarter because of the holiday retail season and gross margin decreases due to increased sales of certain lower margin products, such as electronics. While we had lower sales volume during the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to the comparable period in 2017, we anticipate the trend of higher sales volume during our fourth quarter to continue for the foreseeable future. Revenue typically decreases in the following quarter(s), as shown in the table below. The actual quarterly results for each quarter could differ materially depending upon consumer preferences, availability of product and competition, among other risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there can be no assurances that seasonal variations will not materially affect our results of operations in the future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview

AlthoughWe are proactively seeking opportunities to improve the efficiency of our operations and are considering a comprehensive set of actions to do so. During the latter end of 2018 we began taking and continue to take significant steps to realize internal cost savings, including staff reductions and process streamlining. Additionally, we intend to further reduce costs in future periods. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents currently on hand and expected cash flows from future operations will be sufficient to continue operations for at least the next twelve months, wemonths. We also believe that we may need to raise additional capital and/or obtain significant additional debt financing to be able to fully pursue some or all of our plans discussed below,strategies, including plans for our retail business while also funding our Medici initiatives, beyond the next twelve months.

We continue to seek opportunities for growth inhave developed and implemented initiatives within our retail business through our Medici blockchain and financial technology initiatives, and through other means. We also want to invest in additional distribution facilities to speed shipping and improve our customer service; in additional automation, technology and engineering resources because we believe they can improve our customers' shopping experience and increase our sales; inaround improving our Club O rewards program primarily to increase member benefits and to develop additional personalization programs; improving our organic search engine rankings; additional distribution facilities to speed shipping and in expansion ofimprove our customer service; additional automation, technology and engineering resources to improve our customers' shopping experience; and improving our private label initiative because we believe that private label brands canto generate significant brand equity and customer loyalty. We believe these initiatives will have significant long-term positive results; however, the expenditures will likely adversely affect our short-term results. See "Our Retail Business" above.

Our Medici initiatives also require substantial funding. Medici Ventures and its majority-owned subsidiary, tZERO, continue to identify, evaluate and pursue various opportunities for strategic acquisitions or purchases of interests to expandadd to the services and expertise they offer their customers. As a resultSee "Our Medici Business—Medici Ventures" and "Our Medici Business—tZERO" above.

Our ability to pursue some or all of these initiatives,plans, and the extent to which we would be able to pursue some or all of them, will continue to incur additional expensesdepend on the resources we have available, and expect to purchase interests in, or make acquisitions of, other technologies and businesses.

We anticipate that our initiatives will cause us to incur additional losses in the foreseeable future. These losses, additional expenses, acquisitions or purchases may be material, and, coupled with existing marketing expense trends, and potential strategic changes in our retail business, may lead to increased consolidated losses in some periods, and to reduced liquidity.require significantly more capital than we currently have.

Current sources of liquidity
 
We believe that ourOur principal sources of liquidity are existing cash and cash equivalents. At June 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents currently on hand and expected cash flows from future operations will be sufficient to continue operations for at least the next twelve months. However, our failure to generate sufficient revenues or profits or to obtain additional financing or raise additional capital could have a material adverse effect on our operations and on ourof $121.3 million. Our ability to achieveaccess the liquidity of our business objectives,subsidiaries may be limited by tax and could require us to decrease or cease funding initiatives we consider important in our retail business, our Medici business or both. Any projections of future cash needslegal considerations and cash flows are subject to substantial uncertainty.other factors.

On November 8, 2017, we issued warrants to purchase up to a combined aggregate of 3,722,188 shares of our common stock to two purchasers in privately negotiated transactions, for an aggregate purchase price of $6.5 million, net of issuance costs. The exercise price for the warrants was $40.45 per share of common stock. On December 29, 2017, one of the warrant holders exercised its warrant in full and purchased a total of 2,472,188 shares of common stock for $100.0 million. On January 17, 2018, the other warrant holder exercised its warrant in full and purchased 1,250,000 shares of common stock for $50.6 million.Cash flow information is as follows (in thousands):

In December 2017, tZERO launched an offering (the "security token offering") of the right to acquire tZERO Preferred Equity Tokens (the "tZERO Security Token") through a Simple Agreement for Future Equity ("SAFE"). The security token offering closed on August 6, 2018. As of September 30, 2018, tZERO has received $104.8 million in cumulative proceeds, net of withdrawals, and incurred $21.3 million of offering costs. On October 12, 2018, tZERO issued the tZERO Security Tokens in settlement of the SAFEs. The tZERO Security Tokens are subject to a 90 day trading lock-up period.
In August 2018, we entered into a sales agreement with JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC ("JonesTrading"), under which we conducted "at the market" public offerings of our common stock during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 and may conduct additional "at the market" public offerings of our common stock from time to time. Under the sales agreement, JonesTrading, acting as our agent, may offer our common stock in the market on a daily basis or otherwise as we request from time to time. We have no obligation to sell additional shares under the sales agreement, but expect to do so from time to time. We will pay JonesTrading up to a 2.0% sales commission on all sales. The sales agreement contemplates sales of up to $150 million of our common stock over a period of up to three years.stock. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, we had sold 2,883,3445,843,147 shares of our common stock pursuant to the sales agreement and have received $94.6$146.7 million in proceeds, net of $2.6$3.3 million of offering costs, including commissions paid to JonesTrading. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we sold shares of common stock for $52.1 million, net of offering expenses (including commissions). The average gross price per share of stock sold pursuant to the sales agreement during the quartersix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018, excluding offering costs,2019 was $33.71.
In August 2018, we also entered into a standby equity underwriting agreement with JonesTrading. We did not sell any$17.84. No additional shares are currently available under the standby equity underwriting agreement, and the agreement terminated in accordance with itssales agreement. We cannot assure you that we will be able to replace, extend, or modify this facility on acceptable terms during the quarter ended September 30, 2018. Under the standby underwriting agreement, we had the right, but no obligation, to sell up to $50 million of our common stock to JonesTrading, as underwriter, for sale to the public in a firm commitment public offering. We paid a 1% commitment fee to JonesTrading for entering into the underwriting agreement.timely manner or at all.

At September 30, 2018, our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from operations, our existing cash and cash equivalents, and proceeds from the warrants, shares sold under the at the market offering, and tZERO's security token offering. At September 30, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $182.0 million. The intramonthly balance of our cash and cash equivalents on hand fluctuates significantly, generally reaching the highest balance at the end of month and the lowest balances after the first and sixteenth of the month when we make our regular partner and supplier payments.


Contemplated Financing Transactions

As previously announced, inIn August 2018, Overstock signed a Token Purchase Agreement with GSR Capital Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company ("GSR"), and a term sheet contemplating a sale of Overstock common stock to GSR. Concurrently, tZERO signed a term sheet contemplating a sale of tZERO common stock to GSR.

The Token Purchase Agreement sets forth the terms on which GSR had agreed to purchase, for $30 million, on May 6, 2019 or such other date as may be agreed by the parties, security tokens at a price of $6.67 per security token. These security tokens wereOn May 8, 2019, the parties executed an Investment Agreement to replace the Token Purchase Agreement under which GSR agreed to purchases 508,710 shares of tZERO common stock, representing approximately 0.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of tZERO. In exchange, GSR agreed to transfer to tZERO a total $5.0 million in consideration, consisting of $1.0 million U.S. dollars, $1.0 million U.S. dollars' worth of Chinese Renminbi, and securities traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with a market value on the date of the Investment Agreement of $3.0 million U.S. dollars. As of June 30, 2019, GSR had not fully completed the funding outlined by tZERO to Overstockthe anticipated close date as outlined in satisfactionthe Investment Agreement. As of $30June 30, 2019, GSR had provided $1.0 million of tZERO's indebtednessUSD, and such amount is included in Accrued liabilities at June 30, 2019. Subsequent to Overstock.

Overstock, tZERO and GSR are currently negotiating definitive agreements for GSR's purchase of Overstockits common stock and the amounts included in Accrued liabilities will be reflected as Noncontrolling interest.

The previously-announced memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) in which GSR and Makara Capital ("Makara") would co-lead an investment of up to $100 million in tZERO common stock. Althoughstock did not close in April as previously expected. However, we continue to negotiate the terms,remain in discussions with Makara and GSR has proposed purchasing fewer shares and at a lower price per share than those described in the Overstock term sheet. We believe that if a definitive agreement is reached, regarding the purchase of tZERO shares, the terms, including the amount purchased, number of shares, and/or post money valuation of tZERO, may be less favorable than those described in the tZERO term sheet. Both the Overstock and tZERO term sheets constitute binding agreements for the parties to negotiate in good faith the terms ofcontemplated under the transaction documents; however, the obligation to negotiate in good faith terminates on December 15, 2018, if any of the closing conditions, one of which is the negotiation, execution and delivery of mutually acceptable transaction documents, have not been satisfied.

Cash flows from operating activities
 
Our operating cash flows result primarily from cash received from our customers, offset by cash payments we make for employee compensation (less amounts capitalized related to internal-use software that are reflected as cash used in investing activities), and changes in working capital and other related activities. Working capital at any specific point in time is subject to many variables, including seasonality, inventory management, expansion efforts, the timing of cash receipts and payments, and vendor payment terms. Cash received from customers generally corresponds to our net revenues as our customers primarily use credit cards to buy from us causing our receivables from these sales transactions to settle quickly. We have payment terms with our partners that generally extend beyond the amount of time necessary to collect proceeds from our customers. As a result, following our typically seasonally strong fourth quarter sales, at December 31 of each year, our cash, cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liability balances normally reach their highest level (other than as a result of cash flows provided by or used in investing and financing activities).

The $120.3$65.9 million of net cash used in operating activities during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 was primarily due to consolidated net loss of $70.5 million and cash used by operating assets and liabilities of $31.6 million, which were partially offset by certain non-cash items including depreciation and amortization expense, including amortization of right-of-use assets, of $18.5 million, stock-based compensation of $9.2 million, and impairments recognized on equity securities of $4.2 million.

The $70.6 million of net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily due to consolidated net loss of $169.6$120.4 million, partially offset by cash provided by operating assets and liabilities of $12.3$24.8 million, and certain non-cash items including depreciation and amortization expense of $23.0$15.0 million, stock-based compensation of $11.7$9.4 million, and impairment losses, net of realized gains, recognized on cryptocurrency holdings of $1.2$1.1 million.

The $62.4 million of net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to consolidated net loss of $15.1 million, cash used in operating assets and liabilities of $68.5 million, and certain non-cash items including deferred income taxes of $8.7 million and other non-cash items of $1.5 million, partially offset by certain non-cash items including depreciation and amortization expense of $24.7 million, stock-based compensation of $3.0

million, impairments recognized on cost method investments of $4.5 million, and net of realized gains recognized on cryptocurrency holdings of $845,000.

Notwithstanding our current negative cash flows from operating activities, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents currently on hand and expected cash flows from future operations will be sufficient to continue operations for at least the next twelve months. However, we also believe that we may need to raise additional capital and/or obtain significant additional debt financing to be able to fully pursue some or all of our plans, including plans for our retail business while also funding our Medici initiatives, beyond the next twelve months.

Cash flows from investing activities
 
For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019, investing activities resulted in net cash outflows of $3.1 million primarily due to $10.6 million of expenditures for property and equipment, $2.5 million purchase of equity securities, and $2.0 million disbursement of notes receivable, partially offset by $7.1 million for the sale of equity securities and $4.9 million of cash acquired through a business combination that was funded at the end of the fourth quarter of 2018 but closed in the first quarter of 2019.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, investing activities resulted in net cash outflows of $89.5$64.7 million primarily due to $43.7$29.6 million investment in equity securities, $12.9 million acquisition of businesses,business, net of cash acquired, $20.7$12.7 million of expenditures for fixed assets,property and $9.6equipment, and $9.2 million purchase of intangible assets.

Cash flows from financing activities

Operating leases

From time to time we enter into operating leases for facilities and equipment for use in our operations. In August 2018,During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we renewed a lease for one of our warehouses and entered into a new agreement tooffice lease a warehouse located in Kansas City, Kansas. The term of thethat increased our future operating lease is for a period of 61 months, beginning August 2018 and ending August 2023.payments by $11.9 million.

Purchase obligations

The amount of purchase obligations shown above is based on assumptions regarding the legal enforceability against us of inventory purchase orders we had outstanding at SeptemberJune 30, 2018.2019. Under different assumptions regarding our rights to cancel our purchase orders or different assumptions regarding the enforceability of the purchase orders under applicable law, the amount of purchase obligations shown in the table above would be less.

Technology services

From time to time we enter into long-term contractual agreements for technology services and capitalfinance leases for equipment included in such service agreements.

High Bench Senior Credit Agreement

We are party to a financing agreement acquired in connection with our acquisition of Mac Warehouse, LLC which, at the time of the acquisition, was due on April 18, 2020 (see Borrowings below). The amounts presented reflect our related principal payments. During July 2019, we repaid the entire outstanding balance of the High Bench Loan.
 
Tax contingencies

We are involved in various tax matters, the outcomes of which are uncertain. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, accrued tax contingencies were $1.4$1.6 million. Changes in state, federal, and foreign tax laws may increase our tax contingencies. The timing of the resolution of income tax contingencies is highly uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ from the amounts accrued. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months we will receive additional assessments by various tax authorities. These assessments may or may not result in changes to our contingencies related to positions on prior years' tax filings.

High Bench Senior Credit Agreement

On June 25, 2018, we became party to a senior credit agreement, as amended, with High Bench-Mac Warehouse-Senior Debt, LLC ("High(the "High Bench Loan"), in connection with our acquisition of Mac Warehouse, LLC.

Business Combinations, contained in the "Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The preparation of our financial statements requires that we make estimates and judgments. We base these on historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. Our critical accounting policies are discussed in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20172018, and our accounting policies and use of estimates are further discussed in Item 1 of Part I, "Financial Statements (Unaudited)"—Note 2. Accounting Policies, contained in the "Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and elsewhere in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

During Q1 2018, we implemented ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) on a modified retrospective basis and recognized $5.0 million of additional breakage income related to the unredeemed portion of our gift cards and loyalty program rewards through a cumulative effect adjustment in retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. In addition, we now recognize estimated breakage on our gift cards and loyalty program rewards in Partner and other revenue in our consolidated statement of operations rather as a component of Other expense, net. The adoption of these new accounting standards is discussed further in Item 1 of Part I, "Financial Statements (Unaudited)"—Note 2. Accounting Policies, contained in the "Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no other material changes to the critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Regulation G, Conditions for Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures, and other SEC regulations regulate the disclosure of certain non-GAAP financial information.

Retail and Medici pre-tax income or loss

Retail and Medici pre-tax income or loss (non-GAAP financial measures - which we reconcile to Consolidated pre-tax income or loss) consistsTable of income or loss before taxes of our Retail (which consists of Direct and Partner) and Medici (which is included in Other) businesses, excluding intercompany transactions eliminated in consolidation. We believe these measures provide management and users of the financial statements useful information because they provide financial results for our separate businesses which are distinct in nature. The material limitation associated with these measures is that they are an incomplete measure of our consolidated operations. These measures should be used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. You should review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure. For additional information regarding our segment reporting, and a reconciliation of Retail and Medici pre-tax income or loss, please see Item 1 of Part I, "Financial Statements (Unaudited)"—Note 10. Business Segments, contained in the "Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.Contents


Free cash flow
Free cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure) reflects an additional way of viewing our cash flows and liquidity that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our cash flows and liquidity. Free cash flow, which we reconcile below to "Net cash used in operating activities," the nearest GAAP financial measure, is net cash provided by operating activities reduced by "Expenditures for fixed assets, including internal-use software and website development." We believe that net cash provided by operating activities is an important measure, since it includes both the cash impact of the continuing operations of the business and changes in the balance sheet that impact cash. We believe free cash flow is a useful measure to evaluate our business since purchases of fixed assets are a necessary component of ongoing operations and free cash flow measures the amount of cash we have available for mandatory debt service and financing obligations, changes in our capital structure, and future investments after purchases of fixed assets. Free cash flow measures have limitations as they omit certain components of the overall consolidated statement of cash flows and do not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Free cash flow should not be considered a substitute for net income (loss) or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Therefore, we believe it is important to view free cash flow as a complement to our entire consolidated statements of cash flows as reconciled below (in thousands):

Government Regulation

We are subject to a wide variety of laws, rules and regulations, some of which apply or may apply to us as a result of our retail business, some of which apply or may apply to us as a result of our Medici business, and others of which apply to us for other reasons, such as our status as a publicly held company or the places in which we sell certain types or amounts of products. Our e-commerceretail business is subject to general business regulations and laws, as well as regulations and laws specifically governing the Internet, e-commerce, and other services.services we offer. Existing and future laws and regulations may result in increasing expense and may impede our growth. TheseApplicable and potentially applicable regulations and laws coverinclude regulations and laws regarding taxation, privacy, data protection, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, mobile communications, electronic device certification, electronic waste, energy consumption, environmental regulation, electronic contracts and other communications, competition, consumer protection, employment, import and export matters, information reporting requirements, access to our services and facilities, the design and operation of websites, health and sanitation standards, the characteristics and quality of products and services. On June 21, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an opinion in our South Dakota sales tax caseservices, product labeling and overruled the 1992 Quill Corp v. North Dakota case, and states may now require remote sellers to withhold sales tax under certain circumstances. In June 2018, we began withholding sales tax in all 45 states that have sales tax. If any state were to assert that we have any liability for sales tax for prior periods, it could have an adverse effect on us. New legislation or regulations, the application of laws and regulations from jurisdictions whose laws do not currently apply to our business or the application of existing laws and regulations to the Internet and commercial online services could result in significant additional taxes on our business. These taxes or tax collection obligations could have an adverse effect on us. Further, there is a possibility that we may be subject to significant fines or other payments for any past failures to comply with these requirements. In addition, it is not clear how existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, libel, and personal privacy apply to the Internet, e-commerce and digital content. Laws and regulations may diminish the demand for our products and services and increase our cost of doing business. Certain of our services are subject to federal and state consumer protection laws, including laws protecting the privacy of consumer information and regulations prohibiting unfair and deceptive trade practices. In particular, under federal and state financial privacy laws and regulations, we must provide notice to consumers of our policies on sharing non-public information with third parties, advance notice of any changes to our policies and, with limited exceptions, we must give consumers the right to prevent sharing of their non-public personal information with unaffiliated third parties. Further, the growth and demand for online commerce could result in more stringent consumer protection laws that could impose additional compliance burdens on us. These consumer protection laws could result in substantial compliance costs.

In addition, our broker dealers are subject to additional extensive regulatory requirements under federal and state laws and regulations and self-regulatory organization ("SRO") rules. Broker dealers are subject to regulation, examination and disciplinary action by the SEC, FINRA and state securities regulators, as well as other governmental authorities and SROs with which they are registered or licensed or of which they are members. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, Part I - Item 1A - "Risk Factors - PRO Securities and SpeedRoute, two subsidiaries of tZERO that currently generate substantially all of tZERO's revenues, are registered broker-dealers and are subject to extensive regulation."

Further, some of the business opportunities that the companies in which Medici Ventures holds an interest are pursuing may be subject to approvals by the SEC and/or other governmental authorities, and we have no ability to ensure that they can obtain any such approvals on a timely basis or at all.

Our efforts to expand our salesretail business outside of the U.S. expose us to foreign and additional U.S. and foreign laws and regulations, including but not limited to, laws and regulations relating to taxation, business licensing or certification requirements, advertising practices, online services, the use of cryptocurrency, the importation of specified or proscribed items, importation quotas, consumer protection, intellectual property rights, consumer and data protection, privacy, encryption, restrictions on pricing or discounts, and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other applicable U.S. and foreign laws prohibiting corrupt payments to government officials and other third parties.
Our ownership interests in Bitt Inc.Medici and Bitsy, Inc.tZERO businesses are subject to general business regulations and laws, including some of those described above, but are also may expose usaffected by a number of other laws and regulations, including but not limited to, additional laws and regulations relating to money transmitters and money services businesses. Seebusinesses, including the requirements of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the U.S. Department of the Treasury ("FinCEN"), cryptocurrencies, public benefit corporations, provisions of various securities laws and other laws and regulations governing broker dealers, alternative trading systems and national securities exchanges, anti-money laundering requirements, know-your-customer requirements, record-keeping, reporting and capital and bonding requirements, and a variety of other matters. Blockchain and distributed ledger platforms are recent technological innovations, and the regulation of securities tokens and other digital assets is developing. In the U.S., the businesses that we are working to develop are or may be subject to a wide variety of complex statutes and rules, most of which were implemented prior to the development of these technologies, and it is sometimes unclear whether or how various statutes or regulations apply.

The Token Trading System launched in January 2019 is subject to or affected by numerous laws and regulations. The Token Trading System relies on the PRO Securities ATS, which is subject to Regulation ATS as well as other regulations, and which utilizes the tZERO Platform, partnering with broker-dealers that are also subject to regulation by the SEC and FINRA, in order to facilitate private resales of tZERO Security Tokens to accredited investors in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(7) of the Securities Act and current trading of our Annual Reportoutstanding Series A-1 Preferred. Secondary resales of our Series A-1 Preferred to be issued in connection with the Dividend will need to be conducted in compliance with federal and state securities laws. The joint venture that tZERO and BOX Digital announced in June 2018 is seeking regulatory approvals that would enable the parties to operate a national securities exchange to trade security tokens. A national securities exchange, which will require approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission prior to beginning operations, will be subject to provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and regulation substantially greater than that applicable to tZERO's current operations. In addition, depending on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, Part I - Item 1A - "Risk Factors - Our ownership interest in Bitt Inc.digital assets traded, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission may expose usconsider the assets to be commodities or derivatives and subject to additional risks."regulation. Certain aspects of our Medici business, including Bitsy's operations which were subsequently acquired by tZERO, are or may be subject to the state and federal laws and regulations applicable to money service businesses, including the requirements of FinCEN.
 
Other Factors that May Affect Future Results

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents currently on hand and expected cash flows from future operations will be sufficient to continue operations for at least the next twelve months. Any projections of future cash needs and cash flows are subject to substantial uncertainty, including those set forth under Item 1A of Part II, "Risk Factors" of this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, Part I - Item 1A - "Risk Factors."

We periodically evaluate opportunities to repurchase our equity securities, obtain credit facilities, or issue additional debt or equity securities. In addition, we may, from time to time, consider purchases of equity intereststhe investment in, or acquisition of, complementary businesses, products, services, or technologies, whether related to our retail business, our Medici initiatives or otherwise, any of which might affect our liquidity requirements or cause us to issue additional debt or equity securities. There can be no assurance that financing arrangements will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, orif at all. Our future results may be significantly different from our historical results for several other reasons as well, including the possibility discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K that we may sell our retail business, which would have a dramatic effect on our future results.

Table of Contents




Other reasons that our future results may be significantly different from our historical results include the potential effects on us of the accounting and tax changes discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other reasons described in Item 1. "Business" under "Our Retail Business" and "Our Medici Business", as well as the risk factors described in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of Part II, "Risk Factors" of this report.

Any investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Investors should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described in this Form 10-Q, including the risks described in Item 1A of Part II, "Risk Factors" of this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, Part I - Item 1A - "Risk Factors," and all other information in this Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the SEC including those we file after we file this Form 10-Q, before deciding whether to purchase or hold our securities. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also become important factors that may harm our business. The occurrence of any of the risks described under "Risk Factors" in this report or in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20172018 could harm our business. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks and uncertainties, and investors may lose part or all of their investment.
 
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts and contracts receivable, accounts payable, and long-term obligations. We consider highly-liquid instruments with a remaining maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. We currently do not hold any derivative financial instruments or foreign exchange contracts.

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our short-term investments and short-term obligations; thus, fluctuations in interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair value of these securities. However, the fair values of our investments may be subject to fluctuations due to volatility of the stock market in general, investment-specific circumstances, and changes in general economic conditions.

At SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, we had $182.0$121.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. Hypothetically, an increase or decrease in interest rates of one hundred basis points would have an estimated impact of $1.8$1.2 million on our earnings or loss, or the cash flows of these instruments.

At SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, letters of credit totaling $280,000$205,000 were outstanding under collateralized compensating cash balances held at our credit facilities.bank. Hypothetically, an increase or decrease in interest rates of one hundred basis points would have an estimated impact of $2,800$2,000 on our earnings or loss if the letters of credit were fully drawn.


At SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, we had cryptocurrency-denominated assets totaling $3.1$2.3 million. Hypothetically, aan increase or decrease in the market value of one hundred basis points would have an estimated impact of $31,000$23,000 on our earnings or loss, andor the recorded value of these instruments. Reported earnings resulting from increasesIt is generally not our policy to hold material amounts of cryptocurrency because of volatility and market risk.

At June 30, 2019, our recorded value in equity securities in public and private companies was $43.8 million. Our equity securities in publicly traded companies represent $1.5 million of our equity securities as of June 30, 2019, and are recorded at fair value, which is subject to market price volatility. We perform a qualitative assessment for our equity securities in private companies to identify impairment. If this assessment indicates that an impairment exists, we estimate the marketfair value of cryptocurrency would be limitedthe equity security and, if the fair value is less than carrying value, we write down the equity security to realized gains.fair value. Our assessment includes a review of recent operating results and trends, recent sales/acquisitions of the equity securities, and other publicly available data. Valuations of private companies are inherently more complex due to the lack of readily available market data. As such, we believe that market sensitivities are not practicable.
 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms.

Table of Contents




Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We carried out an evaluation required by the Exchange Act under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Beginning January 1, 2018,2019, we implemented ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers2016-02, Leases (Topic 606)842). In connection with its adoption, we implemented changes to our processes and internal control activities over financial reporting to ensure compliance with the new accounting and disclosure rules.

Except for the preceding changes, there has not occurred any change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
    
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as specified above. Management does not expect, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
The information set forth under Item 1 of Part I, "Financial Statements "—Note 6—7—"Commitments and Contingencies," subheading "Legal Proceedings and Contingencies," contained in the "Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated by reference in answer to this Item.
 
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS 

Any investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Please consider the following risk factors carefully. If any one or more of the following risks were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations, and the market price of our securities could decrease significantly. Statements below to the effect that an event could or would harm our business (or have an adverse effect on our business or similar statements) mean that the event could or would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations, which in turn could or would have a material adverse effect on the market price of our securities. Many of the risks we face involve more than one type of risk. Consequently, you should read all of the risk factors below carefully, as well as the risk factors described in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, the risk factors described in our Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, and in any reports we file with the SEC after we file this Form 10-Q, before deciding whether to purchase or hold our securities. The occurrence of any of these risks could harm our business, the trading price of our securities could decline, and investors could lose part or all of their investment.

Other than the risk factors set forth below, there are no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I - Item 1A - "Risk Factors," of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018.

If we fail to comply with ongoing Nasdaq listing standards and disclosedcorporate governance requirements, we could be subject to de-listing.

Our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Global Market. In order to maintain this listing, we are required to comply with various continued listing standards, including corporate governance requirements, set forth in Part II - Other Information - Item 1A - "Risk Factors,"the Nasdaq Listing Rules. These standards and requirements include an obligation to maintain a Board of Directors, a majority of whom are deemed to be independent and that we maintain an Audit Committee consisting of at least three independent Board Members. Our Board of Directors currently has five members, three of whom are deemed independent, and our Audit Committee consists of these three independent directors. If one of our Quarterly Reportindependent directors should cease to be on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2018Board, we would no longer have a majority of independent Directors on our Board and June 30, 2018.our Audit Committee would no longer have at least three independent directors. If such a scenario was not rectified in accordance with applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules, we could become subject to Nasdaq delisting procedures.

Future sales of our common or preferred stock may depress our stock price.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock or our preferred stock in the public market or otherwise, by us or by a significant stockholder, could depress the trading price of our common or preferred stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.

In addition, we may issue additional shares of our common or preferred stock from time to time in the future in amounts that may be significant. The sale of substantial amounts of our common or preferred stock, or the perception that these sales may occur, could adversely affect the trading prices of either or both of these securities.

Additional Risks Relating to Our tZERO Initiatives

Our ownership interest in Bitsy Inc. may exposetZERO is below the threshold required to permit us to additional risks.use its losses to offset taxable income generated by the rest of our U.S. business and is below the threshold required to effect a tax-free spin-off.

InDue to our ownership percentages of both tZERO common stock and tZERO Security Tokens, we own less than the third quarterrequired percentage to file a federal consolidated income tax return. tZERO therefore files a separate federal tax return from the rest of 2018, Medici Ventures increased itsour U.S. domestic operations, and as a result, certain tax attributes, such as federal net operating losses and tax credits, generated by tZERO are not available to offset taxable income generated by the rest of our U.S. domestic operations, and vice versa. Additionally, among other gating factors, our ownership interestpercentage is also currently below the level required to effect a tax-free spin-off of tZERO, and therefore, at this time we do not believe that a tax-free spin-off of the tZERO business is a viable option.

tZERO Crypto’s business may be limited in certain jurisdictions if it is unable to timely receive certain licenses it is in process of obtaining or due to the regulations applicable to it.

tZERO’s subsidiary Bitsy, Inc., which does business as, and which we refer to in this discussion as tZERO Crypto, is applying for licenses to operate as a U.S.-based company foundedmoney transmitter (or its equivalent) in most states and partially owned by Medici Ventures' chief operating officerhas, as of July 31, 2019, obtained such licenses in a majority of states. tZERO Crypto has also registered with FinCEN. There can be no assurance that tZERO Crypto will be able to obtain money transmitter licenses on a timely basis in states where they have not already been obtained, or that they will be obtained at all, which may limit the services tZERO Crypto is able to offer in certain jurisdictions or require potential product changes.

Additionally, as a licensed money transmitter and general counsel,due to approximately 33%. In September 2018, Bitsy announced that it had begun a limited beta launch of a digital wallet service intendedits registration with FinCEN, tZERO Crypto is subject to create a bridge between traditional fiat currenciesobligations and cryptocurrencies. Various aspects of the business that Bitsy is engaging in are heavily regulated. Virtually every state in the U.S. regulates money transmitters and money services businesses. In some states the licensing requirements and regulations expressly cover companies engaged in digital currency activities; in other states it is not clear whether or how the existing laws and regulations apply to digital currency activities. These licenses and registrations subject companiesrestrictions with respect to various anti-money laundering, know-your-customer, record-keeping, reporting and capital and bonding requirements, limitations on the investment of customer funds, and inspection by state and federal regulatory agencies. Bitsy has registered with FinCEN and has confirmedIn the future, as a result of the regulations applicable to us thattZERO Crypto’s business, it intends to obtain all licenses it is required to obtain. Under U.S. federal law, it is a crime for a person, entity or business that is required to be registered with FinCEN or licensed in any state to fail to do so. Further, under U.S. federal law, anyone who owns all or part of an unlicensed money transmitting business may be subject to civiladditional liability, including governmental fines, restrictions on its business, or other sanctions, and criminal penalties.

Our discussionsit could be forced to cease conducting certain aspects of its business with potential bidders for our e-commerceresidents of certain jurisdictions, be forced to otherwise change it business could resultpractices in the compromise of our intellectual property.

Although we enter into confidentiality agreements with potential bidders for our e-commerce business prior to disclosing confidential information to them, it may be possible for potential bidders to misappropriate intellectual property and other confidential information from us.

We may have additional exposure to claims under Delaware's Abandoned Property Law.

In September 2018 we lost a jury trial in Delaware brought on Delaware's behalf alleging that we had violated Delaware's unclaimed property laws by failing to report and turn over to Delaware certain unused gift card balances. The time period covered by the lawsuit was 2004 through 2007. The jury returned a verdict, which we expect to result in a judgment

against us of approximately $7.3 million plus attorneys' fees and costs. We may have additional exposure for the time period 2008 through 2014.

We mayjurisdictions, or be required to write off amounts relating to our interests in startup businesses.obtain additional licenses or regulatory approvals.

At September 30, 2018, Overstock and its subsidiaries held minority interests totaling approximately $57.4 million in several companies that are inThe occurrence of any of the startup or development stages and may acquire additional minority interests in other entities in the future. These interests are inherently risky because the markets for the technologies or products these companies are developing are typically in the early stages and may never materialize. Additionally, since these interests are in companies that are in the early startup or development stages, even if their technology or products are viable, they may not be able to obtain the capital or resources necessary to successfully bring their technology or products to market. Furthermore, we have no assurance that the technology or products of companies we have funded would be successful, even if they were brought to market. We have written off amounts related to these interests in the past and may in the future write off additional amounts related to these interests. Any such write-offs could be material, andforegoing could have a material adverse effect on tZERO’s operations and financial condition and a material adverse effect on us.

tZERO Crypto operates a digital wallet and exchange services application which subjects it to a variety of risks.

tZERO Crypto’s primary business is a mobile application that allows consumers to buy, sell and hold various supported cryptocurrencies. Certain aspects of this business are heavily regulated and may require tZERO Crypto to register or obtain licenses in order to conduct its business. Additionally, regulations related to digital assets such as cryptocurrencies vary significantly among jurisdictions and are subject to significant uncertainty. Any failure by tZERO Crypto to satisfy applicable licensing requirements, adequately comply with applicable regulation or account for a regulatory change may subject it to a variety of adverse consequences including an increase in costs related to compliance or operational changes, reputational harm and regulatory penalties.
Security breaches, computer malware and other computer hacking attacks are of concern to businesses that interact with cryptocurrencies. While tZERO Crypto wallet users hold their cryptocurrency directly on their mobile devices (as opposed to being held in custody by tZERO Crypto), tZERO Crypto holds a limited cryptocurrency inventory on hand to facilitate its exchange services and has access to customer information. As a result, tZERO Crypto is subject to risk of cyber-attacks, which involve efforts to gain unauthorized access to information or systems, or to cause intentional malfunctions or loss or corruption of data, software, hardware or other computer equipment, the inadvertent transmission of computer viruses or other malware, other forms of malicious attacks, or via other means, including phishing attacks, or malfeasance or negligent acts of our personnel any of which could result in loss of cryptocurrency, unauthorized access to customer information and the resulting legal or financial resultsexposures or the unexpected unavailability of tZERO Crypto’s services.

Additionally, the prices of cryptocurrencies and other digital assets tZERO Crypto may hold in limited amounts for operational purposes have historically been subject to dramatic fluctuations and are highly volatile. This may subject tZERO Crypto to significant cryptocurrency price volatility risk.

The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on tZERO’s operations and financial condition and a material adverse effect on us.

tZERO Markets may not receive the regulatory approval it requires to operate its anticipated business.

tZERO's recent decisionIn May 2019, tZERO formed a new subsidiary, Zoro Securities, LLC, dba tZERO Markets ("tZERO Markets"), in order to offer certain brokerage and investment banking services for traditional equities and digital securities. tZERO Markets has applied for regulatory approval to permit it to offer such services, including by filing a Form BD and New Member Application with FINRA.
The application of federal securities law, FINRA rules and other bodies of law to digital assets is subject to significant uncertainty and likely to rapidly evolve as government agencies take greater interest in them. As a result, there may be delay in the receipt of the regulatory approvals tZERO Markets requires to operate, if they are received at all. In the event tZERO Markets is not able to use StockCross asreceive the introducing broker forregulatory approvals it requires to provide the tradingservices it intends or there is significant delay in tZERO Markets’ receipt of such approvals it may be forced to revise its security tokens may result in additional expensebusiness plan. Any such revision could have a material adverse effect on tZERO’s operations and may delay the trading of tZERO's security tokens.financial condition and a material adverse effect on us.

ManagementtZERO Markets intends to be registered as a broker-dealer and would be subject to extensive regulation.

tZERO Markets has applied for regulatory approvals to allow it to conduct certain brokerage and investment banking activities. If these approvals are received, tZERO Markets will become a registered broker-dealer under the Exchange Act and a member of FINRA and will be subject to regulation, examination, investigation and disciplinary action by the SEC, FINRA and other governmental authorities and self-regulatory organizations with which it becomes registered or licensed or of which it becomes a member. In addition, as tZERO Markets intends to provide broker-dealer services that tZERO’s other broker-dealer subsidiaries have not historically provided, certain of these legal and regulatory requirements will be new to tZERO.

Any failure of tZERO Markets to comply with all applicable rules and regulations or satisfy FINRA, the SEC, or any other regulatory authority with which it must comply could have a material adverse effect on tZERO's operations and financial condition and a material adverse effect on us.

Additional Risks Related Primarily to our Series A-1 Preferred Stock

Our Series A-1 Preferred shares are substantially different from other securities traded in the U.S. public markets and are subject to a variety of unusual restrictions and material risks.

Our Series A-1 Preferred can trade only on the PRO Securities ATS utilizing the tZERO Platform. Trades of the Series A-1 Preferred settle on the trade date. The Series A-1 Preferred is not and will neednot be listed on any securities exchange or any other market of any kind. The Series A-1 Preferred may at times be illiquid, and it may at times be very difficult to devote significant timesell any shares of the Series A-1 Preferred.

The technology on which the tZERO Platform depends has been developed by our majority-owned subsidiary, tZERO, and is licensed by its subsidiary, PRO Securities, and the Series A-1 Preferred depends on both tZERO and PRO Securities, neither of which has substantial resources.

tZERO is a majority-owned subsidiary of ours and owns 100% of the equity interest in PRO Securities. tZERO licenses the tZERO Platform to PRO Securities, and PRO Securities operates the PRO Securities ATS. Neither tZERO nor PRO Securities has substantial resources or any commitment from any person, including the Company, to identify a suitable broker dealer andcontribute additional capital or to enter into an appropriate licensing and/or other contractual arrangements withmake any loan to either of them. If any one or more options,of the Company, tZERO or PRO Securities were unable to fund its operations in the future, or if any one or more of them were to become the subject of a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding, PRO Securities might be unable to continue to operate the tZERO Platform, and the Series A-1 Preferred could be materially adversely affected. In any such event, or if the PRO Securities ATS or the tZERO Platform were to be unable to operate as a result of intellectual property issues or fail to operate as intended for any other reason, holders of our capital stock, including the Series A-1 Preferred, could lose their entire investment in our capital stock, including all amounts invested in the Series A-1 Preferred.

Transactions involving the Series A-1 Preferred could result in errors, which may divert management's timebe impossible to correct.

Some transactions in the Series A-1 Preferred could require manual intervention, which could result in errors, and attention from other matters.because trades on in the Series A-1 Preferred settle on the trade date, it may be impossible to correct any error, regardless of the source of the error, which could have a material adverse effect on holders of Series A-1 Preferred.

The Series A-1 Preferred depends on Computershare as the transfer agent for the Series A-1 Preferred.

Computershare serves as the transfer agent for the Series A-1 Preferred. If Computershare were unable or unwilling for any reason to serve as such, trading in the Series A-1 Preferred would be impossible unless we were able to substitute another transfer agent, which would have a material adverse effect on the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred.

The potential application of U.S. laws regarding traditional investment securities to the Series A-1 Preferred is unclear.

Because of the differences between the Series A-1 Preferred and traditional investment securities, there is a risk that issues that might easily be resolved by existing law if traditional securities were involved may not be easily resolved for the Series A-1 Preferred. The occurrence of any such issue or dispute could have a material adverse effect on the holders of Series A-1 Preferred.

The potential application of U.S. laws regarding virtual currencies and money transmission to PRO Securities' use of the Ethereum blockchain is unclear.

We could encounter a variety of challenges in connection with the issuance of our Series A-1 Preferred Shares as a dividend.

We recently announced that our Board of Directors has declared a dividend (the "Dividend"), payable on November 15, 2019, in shares of our Series A-1 Preferred Shares. The Dividend will be payable at a ratio of 1:10, meaning that one share of Series A-1 will be issued for every ten shares of common stock, Series A-1 or Voting Series B Preferred Stock held by all holders of such shares as of September 23, 2019, the record date for the Dividend. The Series A-1 Shares received pursuant to the Dividend will initially be subject to trading restrictions. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, recipients of the Series A-1 shares received in the Dividend are expected to be able to trade those securities on the PRO Securities ATS operated by our subsidiary PRO Securities, LLC, through a brokerage account established with Dinosaur Financial Group, LLC ("Dino") or any other broker dealer that serves as an introducing broker on that platform. Currently, Dino is the only broker dealer that operates on the PRO Securities ATS. Unless we designate one or more other such broker dealers, Dino will be required to performopen tens of thousands of new accounts in a short period of time. Dino may be unable to get all such accounts opened in a timely manner. Further, the rolesissuance of introducing broker.the Series A-1 Shares pursuant to the Dividend will significantly increase the number of outstanding Series A-1 Preferred Shares from approximately 125,000 to approximately 3.8 million. This could result in a substantial increase in trading volume on the PRO Securities ATS once the Dividend Series A-1 Preferred Shares become eligible for trading in accordance with applicable securities laws. This increased volume could cause unforeseen issues with PRO Securities ATS, which has not yet handled such volume levels. Furthermore, since we have not previously issued Series A-1 Preferred Shares on such a wide scale, we could encounter challenges related to dealing with shares held in retirement plans or individual retirement accounts, complying with any applicable foreign law legal requirements or other unforeseen legal and compliance issues.
