SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- 500.com Limited (NYSE: WBAI) ("500.com," "the Company," "we," "us," "our company," or "our"), an online sports lottery service provider in China, today reported its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Suspension of Online Sports Lottery Sales in China

All provincial sports lottery administration centers to which the Company provided sports lottery sales services have suspended accepting online purchase orders for lottery products in response to the Notice related to Self-Inspection and Self-Remedy of Unauthorized Online Lottery Sales (the "Self-Inspection Notice"), which was jointly promulgated by the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China on January 15, 2015. In response to the Self-Inspection Notice, on April 4, 2015, the Company decided to voluntarily suspend all online lottery sales services. As a result of the provincial sport lottery administration centers' decision to suspend accepting online lottery orders and the Company's voluntary suspension of all online sports lottery sales services in China, the Company has not generated any revenue from these services since April 2015.

Temporary Suspension of Operations in Sweden 

The Multi Group ("TMG"), a Malta-based subsidiary of the Company, has temporarily suspended its operations in Sweden as TMG did not complete the renewal of its e-Gaming license before it expired. The Company promptly issued a Current Report on Form 6-K dated January 13, 2020 regarding this situation, and provided an update through another Current Report on Form 6-K dated February 20, 2020. TMG has submitted all the application materials and is in close communication with Sweden's e-Gaming regulatory authority to complete the renewal process. The Company's revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020 have been, and for the fiscal year of 2020 are expected to be, materially and adversely impacted by the temporary suspension of TMG's operations in Sweden. Revenue generated by TMG accounted for approximately 89.7% of the Company's total net revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, of which approximately 61.3% was generated from Sweden.

Internal Investigation Still in Progress

On December 31, 2019, the Company announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") had formed a Special Investigation Committee (the "SIC") to internally investigate alleged illegal money transfers and the role played by consultants following the arrest of one consultant (also a former director of the Company's subsidiary in Japan) and two former consultants by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office. On January 16, 2020, the Company announced that the SIC had retained King & Wood Mallesons LLP ("KWM") as its legal advisor to assist with its internal investigation.

As of today, we understand generally from the SIC that KWM has completed certain investigatory work and the internal investigation is still in progress. The Company currently is unable to determine with certainty what effect (if any) the result of the internal investigation may have on the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. In addition, the Company currently cannot conclude the assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 until the internal investigation is completed.

Annual Report on Form 20-F for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2019

The Company previously filed a Form 12b-25 with the SEC on June 15, 2020 for late filing of its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (the "2019 Annual Report"), pursuant to which the 2019 Annual Report was due to be filed by June 30, 2020. The Company expects to file the 2019 Annual Report (i) upon completion of the previously announced internal investigation being conducted by the SIC of the Company's Board, with the assistance of KWM, (ii) once the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 are finalized, (iii) the Company has completed the assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, and (iv) Friedman LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, has completed its audit of financial statements and internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019.

The Company also reports that on July 1, 2020, the Company received an expected notice from New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") Regulation stating that the Company is not in compliance with the NYSE's continued listing requirements under the timely filing criteria pursuant to Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual as a result of the Company's failure to timely file the 2019 Annual Report with the SEC. As required by the notice, (a) a representative of the Company contacted the NYSE on July 1, 2020 to discuss the status of the 2019 Annual Report, and (b) the Company is issuing this press release, disclosing the status of the 2019 Annual Report, noting the delay and the reason for the delay, as mentioned above. The anticipated filing date of the 2019 Annual Report is not known at this time.

NYSE Regulation notified the Company that the NYSE will closely monitor the status of the Company's late filing and related public disclosures for up to a six-month period from the due date of the 2019 Annual Report. If the Company fails to file its annual report and any subsequent delayed filings within six months from the filing due date, the NYSE may, in its sole discretion, allow the Company's securities to trade for up to an additional six months depending on specific circumstances, as outlined in Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

The Company intends to meet the filing deadline of six months period from the filing due date of the 2019 Annual Report, or December 31, 2020.

Net revenues were RMB3.6 million (US$0.5 million) for the second quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of RMB6.1 million or 62.9% from RMB9.7 million for the second quarter of 2019 and a slight increase of RMB0.5 million or 16.1% from RMB3.1 million for the first quarter of 2020. Net revenues during the second quarter of 2020 primarily consisted of RMB3.0 million (EUR0.4 million) in revenue contribution from the Company's online lottery betting and online casino in Europe through TMG, which accounted for 83.3% of total net revenues. The year-over-year decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease of RMB6.6 million resulting from the temporary suspension of operations in Sweden.

The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to a decrease of RMB10.9 million in expenses for employees as a result of decrease in headcount, a decrease of RMB6.8 million mainly in amortization associated with acquired intangible assets, a decrease in bad debt provision of RMB5.7 million for receivables, a decrease of RMB4.1 million in rental expenses mainly due to the termination of leases for subsidiaries in Hong Kong, Japan and Hangzhou since the local offices were closed, a decrease of RMB2.9 million in travelling expenses, a decrease of RMB2.0 million in consulting expenses, a decrease of RMB1.6 million in share-based compensation expenses associated with share options granted to the Company's employees, a decrease of RMB2.2 million in platform service costs for TMG associated with its reduction in online lottery and online casino operations, a decrease of RMB1.0 million in lottery insurance costs, and a decrease of RMB0.7 million in account handling expenses. The sequential increase was mainly due to an increase of RMB13.5 million in share-based compensation expenses associated with share options granted to the Company's employees, which was partially offset by a decrease of RMB1.9 million in consulting expenses and a decrease of RMB1.5 million in expenses for employees.

Cost of services was RMB4.6 million (US$0.7 million) for the second quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of RMB10.4 million or 69.3% from RMB15.0 million for the second quarter of 2019, and a slight increase of RMB0.6 million or 15.0% from RMB4.0 million for the first quarter of 2020.

Service development expenses were RMB10.1 million (US$1.4 million) for the second quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of RMB1.7 million or 14.4% from RMB11.8 million for the second quarter of 2019, and an increase of RMB3.0 million or 42.3% from RMB7.1 million for the first quarter of 2020.

The sequential increase was mainly due to an increase of RMB3.4 million in share-based compensation expenses associated with share options granted to the Company's employees, which was partially offset by a decrease of RMB0.3 million in expenses for employees.

Impairments of Goodwill and Acquired Intangible assets

The impairments of goodwill and acquired intangible assets were related to the Company's acquisition of TMG, which were triggered by TMG's temporary suspension of operations in Sweden.

Impairment of goodwill was RMB57.2 million for the second quarter of 2019. There was no additional impairment of goodwill for the first and second quarters of 2020 as the related goodwill and intangible assets were fully impaired as of December 31, 2019.
