NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per–share amounts)

Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

Organization

 

MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (“MGT” or the “Company”) wasis a Delaware corporation incorporated in Delaware in 2000. MGT was originally incorporated in Utah in 1977. MGT is comprised of the parent company and its wholly owned subsidiary MGT Sweden AB. MGT’s corporate office is in Raleigh, North Carolina.

 

Cryptocurrency mining

 

Current Operations

 

MGT conducts cryptocurrency activities at a company-owned and managed Bitcoin mining facility in LaFayette, Georgia. Located adjacent to a utility substation, the several-acre property has access to about 20 megawatts (MW) of electrical power, half of which is presently utilized by the Company. Business activities are comprised of self-mining operations and leasing space to third parties.

As of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and AugustMay 13, 2021,2022, the Company owned 646430 S17 Antminer Pro (“S17 miners”) and 53037 Antminer S17S19 Pro Bitcoin miners. All miners respectively, allare located at its LaFayette,our Georgia facility. As more fully described in the following paragraph, overOver three-quarters of thesethe S17 miners require various repairs to be productive. We purchased a total of 1,500 S17 Pro Bitcoin minersare in the latter partprocess of 2019 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2,768, which was paid in full. Allselling our remaining S17 miners, were purchased directly from Bitmaintech Pte. Ltd., a Singapore limited company (“Bitmain”), with each capable of aas well as loose hash rate of approximately 50 terahashes per second in computing power. From May 2020 through August 13, 2021, the Company sold a total of 925 of these miners, receiving aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $850,boards, power supplies, controller boards, and has scrapped 45 miners due to burning or other events that reduced their value to zero.parts.

 

During 2020,In addition to its self-mining operations, the Company beganleases its owned space to suffer component issues, such as heat sinks detaching from hash boards, and failures of both power supplies and hash board temperature sensors. Although Bitmain has acknowledged manufacturing defects in various production runs of S17other Bitcoin miners and also provides hosting services for owners of mining equipment. These measures improve utilization of the Company has not been successful in obtaining any compensation from Bitmain to date. The manufacturing defects, combined with inadequate repair facilities has rendered approximately 400electrical infrastructure and better insulate us against the volatility of our remaining 530 miners in need of repair or replacement. The Company is using a third-party repair facility to repair its non-working hash boards and expects the process to be complete in the third calendar quarter of this year. While initial small batches of repaired hash boards have shown a high success rate, there can be no guaranty that all future repairs will be as successful. As of August 13, 2021, 420 of these bad hash boards (enough to power 140 miners) are being repaired in a Chinese facility and approximately 300 more hash boards remain unused at our facility pending repair, replacement or sale as management may determine. It is not possible at the present time to estimate the cost of repair or the success rate of repairs. To date, we have incurred approximately $100 in costs of repairing or replacing the defective machines, and an estimated $1,000in lost revenue.Bitcoin mining.

 

MGT’s miners are housed in twoa modified shipping containerscontainer on the Company’s owned property owned by the Company adjacent to an electrical substation.in Georgia. The entire facility, including the land twoand improvements, five 2500 KVA 3-phase transformers, thethree mining containers, and miners, are owned by MGT. As the Company is presently using only a small portion of the built-out available electrical load, we have begun leasing spaceWe continue to other Bitcoin miners. In addition, we are exploringexplore ways to grow and maintain our current operations including but not limited to further potential equipment sales and raising capital to acquire the newest generation miners. The Company is also investigating other sites to develop into Bitcoin mining facilities in addition to expansion at its current property.

The COVID-19 pandemic represents a fluid situation that presents a wide rangehas disrupted and may continue to disrupt our operations and those of potential impacts of varying durations for different global geographies, including locations where we have offices, employees, customers,our vendors, suppliers and other suppliersthird parties on which we rely, and we may not be able to obtain new miners or replacement parts for our existing miners in a timely or cost-effective manner, which could materially and adversely affect our business partners.and results of operations.

 

Like most US-based businesses, theThe extent to which COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to mitigate the same began to have impacts on our business in March 2020. By that time, much of our first fiscal quarter was completed.

In light of broader macro-economic risks and already known impacts on certain industries, we have taken, and continue to take targeted steps to lower our operating expenses because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to monitor the impacts of COVID-19 on our operations closely and this situation could change based on a significant number of factors that are not entirely within our control and are discussed in this and other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

To date, travel restrictions and border closures have not materially impactedor our ability to operate. However, if such restrictions become more severe, they could negatively impact those activities in a way that would harm our business overobtain financing will depend on future developments which are uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the long term. Travel restrictions impacting people can restrain our ability to operate, but at present we do not expect these restrictions on personal travel to be material to our business operations or financial results.

Like most companies, we have taken a range of actions with respect to how we operate to assure we comply with government restrictions and guidelines as well as best practices to protect the health and well-being of our employees. However, the impactsseverity of COVID-19 and effortsthe actions taken by governments and private businesses to mitigatecontain COVID-19 to treat its impact, among others. If the same have remained unpredictable and it remains possible that challengesdisruptions posed by COVID-19 continue for an extended period of time, financial markets may arisenot be available to the Company for raising capital in order to fund future growth. Should the Company not be able to obtain financing in the future.amounts necessary or under terms which are economically feasible, we may be required to reduce planned future growth and/or the scope of our operations.

 

Note 2. Going Concern and Management’s Plans

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company had incurred significant operating losses since inception and continues to generate losses from operations. As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $419,635421,446. As of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 MGT’s cash and cash equivalents were $739633.

 

The Company will require additional funding to grow its operations. Further, depending upon operational profitability, the Company may also need to raise additional funding for ongoing working capital purposes. There can be no assurance however that the Company will be able to raise additional capital when needed, or at terms deemed acceptable, if at all. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital is impacted by the volatility of Bitcoin mining economics and the SEC’s ongoing enforcement action against our Chief Executive Officer, both of which are highly uncertain, cannot be predicted, and could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition.

Since January 2021, the Company has secured working capital through the issuance of a convertible note, the sale of equity and warrants, and the sale of assets.

 

Such factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to sustain operations for at least one year from the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MGT and MGT Sweden AB. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Use of estimates and assumptions and critical accounting estimates and assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and also affect the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for each period. Actual results could differ from those which result from using such estimates. Management utilizes various other estimates, including but not limited to determining the estimated lives of long-lived assets, stock compensation, determining the potential impairment of long-lived assets, the fair value of conversion features, fair value of warrants issued, the recognition of revenue, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and other legal claims and contingencies. The results of any changes in accounting estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which the changes become evident. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company’s combined accounts were $633 and $1,230 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Accounts are insured by the FDIC up to $250 per financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts with these financial institutions. As of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had $133 and $980, respectively, in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are generally unsecured. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on the age of outstanding invoices and management’s evaluation of collectability. Accounts are written off after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted and management concludes that likelihood of collection is remote. Any future recoveries are applied against the allowance for doubtful accounts. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we did not believe we needed to reserve for any doubtful accounts, respectively.

Cryptocurrencies

Cryptocurrencies, (including bitcoin and bitcoin cash) are included in current assets in the accompanying balance sheets. Any cryptocurrencies purchased are recorded at cost and cryptocurrencies awarded to the Company through its mining activities are accounted for in connection with the Company’s revenue recognition policy disclosed in this note.

Cryptocurrencies held are accounted for as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, which is measured using the quoted price of the cryptocurrency at the time its fair value is being measured.

In testing for impairment, the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted.

Any purchases of cryptocurrencies by the Company are included within investing activities in the accompanying statements of cash flows, while cryptocurrencies awarded to the Company through its mining activities are included within operating activities on the accompanying statements of cash flows. The sales of cryptocurrencies are included within investing activities in the accompanying statements of cash flows and any realized gains or losses from such sales are included in other income (expense) in the statements of operations. The Company accounts for its gains or losses in accordance with the first in first out (FIFO) method of accounting.

Halving – The Bitcoin blockchain and the cryptocurrency reward for solving a block is subject to periodic incremental halving. Halving is a process designed to control the overall supply and reduce the risk of inflation in cryptocurrencies using a Proof-of-Work consensus algorithm. At a predetermined block, the mining reward is cut in half, hence the term “Halving.” A Halving for bitcoin occurred on May 12, 2020, with a revised reward payout of 6.25 Bitcoin per block. Many factors influence the price of Bitcoin and potential increases or decreases in prices in advance of or following a future halving is unknown.

Revenue recognition

 

The Company’s primary revenue stream is related to theCryptocurrency mining of digital currencies. The Company derives its revenue by solving “blocks” to be added to the blockchain and providing transaction verification services within the digital currency network of Bitcoin, commonly termed “cryptocurrency mining.” In consideration for these services, the Company receives digital currency (“Coins”). The Coins are recorded as revenue, using the average spot price of Bitcoin on the date of receipt. The Coins are recorded on the balance sheet as an intangible digital asset valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value adjustments, to adjust the value of Coins to market value, are included in cost of revenue on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. Further, any gain or loss on the sale of Coins would be recorded to costs of revenue. Costs of revenue include electricity costs, equipment and infrastructure depreciation, and net realizable value adjustments.

 

The Company also recognizes revenue under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASC 606”). The core principle of the revenue standard is that a royalty participation uponcompany should recognize revenue to depict the saletransfer of certain containers manufactured by Bit5ive LLC of Miami, Florida (the “Pod5ive Containers”) underpromised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the termsconsideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract 
Step 3: Determine the transaction price  
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract  
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation  

In order to identify the performance obligations in a contract with a customer, a company must assess the promised goods or services in the contract and identify each promised good or service that is distinct. A performance obligation meets ASC 606’s definition of a five-year collaboration agreement entered“distinct” good or service (or bundle of goods or services) if both of the following criteria are met: The customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer (i.e., the good or service is capable of being distinct), and the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in August 2018.the contract (i.e., the promise to transfer the good or service is distinct within the context of the contract).

 

Property and EquipmentIf a good or service is not distinct, the good or service is combined with other promised goods or services until a bundle of goods or services is identified that is distinct.

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. DepreciationThe transaction price is calculated using the straight–line method onamount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. When determining the various asset classes over their estimated useful lives, which range from one to ten years when placed in service. The costtransaction price, an entity must consider the effects of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposedall of the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. Deposits on property and equipment are initially classified as Other Assets and upon delivery, installation and full payment, the assets are classified as property and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet.following:

 

Variable consideration  
Constraining estimates of variable consideration  
The existence of a significant financing component in the contract  
Noncash consideration  
Consideration payable to a customer  

Income taxesVariable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. The transaction price allocated to each performance obligation is recognized when that performance obligation is satisfied, at a point in time or over time as appropriate.

 

The Company accountshas entered into digital asset mining pools by agreeing to terms and conditions, as amended from time to time, with the mining pool operators to provide computing power to the mining pool. The contracts are terminable at any time by either party and the Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when the Company provides computing power to the mining pool operator. In exchange for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”.

Fair value of the cryptocurrency award received is determined using the quoted price of the related cryptocurrency at the time of receipt. There is currently no specific definitive guidance under GAAP or alternative accounting framework for the accounting for cryptocurrencies recognized as revenue or held, and management has exercised significant judgment in determining the appropriate accounting treatment. In the event authoritative guidance is enacted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the Company may be required to change its policies, which could have an effect on the Company’s financial position and results from operations.

Hosting Revenues

We receive revenues from third parties renting capacity at our facility and from hosting miners owned by others. The Company recognized $192 and $0 from these sources during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, two customers accounted for 68% and 23% respectively of hosting revenue.

 

Loss per share

 

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potential dilutive securities, comprised of unvested restricted shares, convertible debt, convertible preferred stock, stock warrants and stock options, are not reflected in diluted net loss per share because such potential shares are anti–dilutive due to the Company’s net loss.

 

Accordingly, the computation of diluted loss per share for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 excludes 35,546,53363,416,941 shares issuable upon conversionthe exercise of convertible debt.outstanding warrants. The computation of diluted loss per share for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 excludes 66,667 unvested restricted shares, 14,174,747 shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt, and 105,990,78334,285,714 shares issuable under preferred stock.

Stock–based compensation

The Company applies ASC 718-10, “Share-Based Payment,” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expenses for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options under the Company’s stock plans and equity awards issued to non-employees based on estimated fair values.

ASC 718-10 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based option awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The fair value of the award is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Restricted stock awards are granted at the discretion of the compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”). These awards are restricted as to the transfer of ownership and generally vest over the requisite service periods, typically over a 12 to 24-month period (vesting on a straight–line basis). The fair value of a stock award is equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

The fair value of an option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black–Scholes option valuation model. The Black–Scholes option valuation model requires the development of assumptions that are inputs into the model. These assumptions are the expected stock volatility, the risk–free interest rate, the expected life of the option, the dividend yield on the underlying stock and the expected forfeiture rate. Expected volatility is calculated based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the expected term of the option. Risk–free interest rates are calculated based on continuously compounded risk–free rates for the appropriate term.

Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards require the input of the subjective assumptions described above. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. The Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and recognize expense only for those shares expected to vest.convertible debt.

 

Fair Value Measure and Disclosures

 

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” provides the framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

8

 

Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received upon the sale of an asset or payment to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:

 

 Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 Level 2 Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.
 Level 3 Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data.

 

As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company had a Level 3 financial instrument related to the derivative liability related to the issuance of convertible notes.warrants.

 

Gain (Loss) on Modification/ExtinguishmentManagement’s evaluation of Debt

In accordance with ASC 470, a modification or an exchange of debt instruments that adds or eliminates a conversion option that was substantive at the date of the modification or exchange is considered a substantive change and is measured and accounted for as extinguishment of the original instrument along with the recognition of a gain/loss. Additionally, under ASC 470, a substantive modification of a debt instrument is deemed to have been accomplished with debt instruments that are substantially different if the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new debt instrument is at least 10 percent different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument. A substantive modification is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original instrument along with the recognition of a gain/loss.

Cash and cash equivalentssubsequent events

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company’s combined accounts were $739 and $236 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Accountsevaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are insured byissued. Based upon the FDIC up to $250 per financial institution.

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements, other than those disclosed below.

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 – 40)” (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in U.S. GAAP. The ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2020-06 will have on its financial statements.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), (“ASU 2021-04”). This ASU reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. This ASU provides guidance for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that is not within the scope of another Topic. It specifically addresses: (1) how an entity should treat a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange; (2) how an entity should measure the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange; and (3) how an entity should recognize the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange. This ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. An entity should apply the amendments prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 on January 1, 2022 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed financial statements or disclosures.

Note 4. Derivative InstrumentsAccounts receivable

 

Derivative financial instruments are recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC 815. When the Company enters into a financial instrument such Accounts receivable balances of $306and $180as a debt or equity agreement (the “host contract”), the Company assesses whether the economic characteristics of any embedded features are clearlyMarch 31, 2022 and closely related to the primary economic characteristics of the remainder of the host contract. When it is determined that (i) an embedded feature possesses economic characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the primary economic characteristics of the host contract, and (ii) a separate, stand-alone instrument with the same terms would meet the definition of a financial derivative instrument, then the embedded feature is bifurcatedDecember 31, 2021, respectively, from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative instrument. The estimated fair value of the derivative feature is recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets separately from the carrying value of the host contract. Subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of derivatives are recorded as a gain or loss incustomers using the Company’s consolidated statementsminer hosting and facility rental services. One customer makes up 96% of operations.this balance.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever facts or circumstances either internally or externally may suggest that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Should there be an indication of impairment, we test for recoverability by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset to the carrying amount of the asset or asset group. Any excess of the carrying value of the asset or asset group over its estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss.

Management’s evaluation of subsequent events

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. Based upon the review, other than what is described in Note 11 – Subsequent Events, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Digital Currencies

Digital currencies are included in current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Digital currencies are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

Net realizable value adjustments, to adjust the value of Coins to market value, are included in cost of revenue on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. Further, any gain or loss on the sale of Coins would be recorded to costs of revenue. Costs of revenue include hosting fees, equipment and infrastructure depreciation, net realizable value adjustments, and electricity costs.

Halving – The Bitcoin blockchain and the cryptocurrency reward for solving a block is subject to periodic incremental halving. Halving is a process designed to control the overall supply and reduce the risk of inflation in cryptocurrencies using a Proof-of-Work consensus algorithm. At a predetermined block, the mining reward is cut in half, hence the term “Halving.” A Halving for bitcoin occurred on May 12, 2020. Many factors influence the price of Bitcoin and potential increases or decreases in prices in advance of or following a future halving is unknown.

The Company did not have anyrecorded loss on settlement of derivative liability activity duringin the sixamount of $417 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2020.March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

As of March 31, 2022, the fair value of the warrant derivative liability was $1,366 and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 the Company recorded a loss of $407 from the change in fair value of derivative warrant liability as non-operating income in the statements of operations. The Company valued the warrant derivative liability using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions as of March 31, 2022: 1) stock price of $0.024, 2) exercise prices of $0.05, 3) remaining lives of 3.9 4.3 years, 4) dividend yields of 0%, 5) risk free rates of 2.42%, and 6) volatility of 174.5%.

As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of the warrant derivative liability was $1,130 and for the year ended December 31, 2021 the Company recorded a gain of $955 from the change in fair value of derivative warrant liability as non-operating income in the statements of operations.

Fluctuations in the Company’s stock price are a primary driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. As the stock price increases for each of the related derivative instruments, the value to the holder of the instrument generally increases, therefore increasing the liability on the Company’s balance sheet. Additionally, stock price volatility is one of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s derivative instruments. The simulated fair value of these liabilities is sensitive to changes in the Company’s expected volatility. Increases in expected volatility would generally result in higher fair value measurement. A 10% change in pricing inputs and changes in volatilities and correlation factors would not result in a material change in our Level 3 fair value.

Management Agreement Termination Liability

On August 31, 2019, the Company entered into two Settlement and Termination Agreements (the “Settlement Agreements”) to management agreements it entered in 2017 with two accredited investors (together the “Users”). Under the terms of the Settlement Agreements, the Company paid the Users a percentage of profits (“Settlement Distribution”) of Bitcoin mining as defined in the Settlement Agreements. The estimated present value of the Settlement Distributions of $337 was recorded as termination expense with an offsetting liability on August 31, 2019. Since two of the components of the Settlement Distribution, Bitcoin price and Difficulty Rate, as defined in the Settlement Agreements,LaFayette are based on market conditions, the liability was adjusted to fair valuecurrently operating on a quarterlymonth-to-month basis and any changes were recorded in the statement of operations. As such, the liability is consideredwithout a Level 3 financial instrument. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized a gain on the change in the fair value of $23 and $38, respectively, based on the change of Bitcoin price and Difficulty Rate, and along with the monthly Settlement Distributions valued at $25, the liability was reduced to $10 as of June 30, 2020. Based on the terms of the Settlement Agreements, Settlement Distributions terminated on September 30, 2020.contract.

Executive summary

 

MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (“MGT” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation that was incorporated in Delaware in 2000. MGT was originally incorporated in Utah in 1977. MGT is comprised of the parent company and its wholly owned subsidiary MGT Sweden AB. MGT’s corporate office is in Raleigh, North Carolina.

 

All dollar figures set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are in thousands, except per-share amounts.

 

Current Operations

 

MGT conducts cryptocurrency activities at a company-owned and managed Bitcoin mining facility in LaFayette, Georgia. Located adjacent to a utility substation, the several-acre property has access to about 20 megawatts (MW) of electrical power, half of which is presently utilized by the Company. Business activities are comprised of self-mining operations and leasing space to third parties.

As of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and AugustMay 13, 2021,2022, the Company owned 646 and 530430 Antminer S17 Pro (the “S17 miners”) and 37 Antminer S19 Pro Bitcoin miners. All miners respectively, allare located at its LaFayette,our Georgia facility. As more fully described in the following paragraph, overOver three-quarters of thesethe S17 miners require various repairs to be productive. We purchased a total of 1,500 S17 Pro Bitcoin minersare in the latter partprocess of 2019 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2,768, which was paid in full. Allselling our remaining S17 miners, were purchased directly from Bitmaintech Pte. Ltd., a Singapore limited company (“Bitmain”), with each capable of aas well as loose hash rate of approximately 50 terahashes per second in computing power. From May 2020 through August 13, 2021, the Company sold a total of 925 of these miners, receiving aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $850,boards, power supplies, controller boards, and has scrapped 45 miners due to burning or other events that reduced their value to zero.parts.

 

During 2020,In addition to its self-mining operations, the Company beganleases its owned space to suffer component issues, such as heat sinks detaching from hash boards, and failures of both power supplies and hash board temperature sensors. Although Bitmain has acknowledged manufacturing defects in various production runs of S17other Bitcoin miners and also provides hosting services for owners of mining equipment. These measures improve utilization of the Company has not been successful in obtaining any compensation from Bitmain to date. The manufacturing defects, combined with inadequate repair facilities has rendered approximately 400electrical infrastructure and better insulate us against the volatility of our remaining 530 miners in need of repair or replacement. The Company is using a third-party repair facility to repair its non-working hash boards and expects the process to be complete in the third calendar quarter of this year. While initial small batches of repaired hash boards have shown a high success rate, there can be no guaranty that all future repairs will be as successful. As of August 13, 2021, 420 of these bad hash boards (enough to power 140 miners) are being repaired in a Chinese facility and approximately 300 more hash boards remain unused at our facility pending repair, replacement or sale as management may determine. It is not possible at the present time to estimate the cost of repair or the success rate of repairs. To date, we have incurred approximately $100 in costs of repairing or replacing the defective machines, and an estimated $1,000 in lost revenue.Bitcoin mining.

MGT’s miners are housed in twoa modified shipping containerscontainer on the Company’s owned property owned by the Company adjacent to an electrical substation.in Georgia. The entire facility, including the land twoand improvements, five 2500 KVA 3-phase transformers, thethree mining containers, and miners, are owned by MGT. As the Company is presently using only a small portion of the built-out available electrical load, we have begun leasing spaceWe continue to other Bitcoin miners. In addition, we are exploringexplore ways to grow and maintain our current operations including but not limited to further potential equipment sales and raising capital to acquire the newest generation miners. The Company is also investigating other sites to develop into Bitcoin mining facilities in addition to expansion at its current property.

 

Critical accounting policies and estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report describe our significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We continually evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates.

 

We believe the critical accounting policies listed below reflect significant judgments, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue recognition

 

The Company’s primary revenue stream is related to theCryptocurrency mining of digital currencies. The Company derives its revenue by solving “blocks” to be added to the blockchain and providing transaction verification services within the digital currency network of Bitcoin, commonly termed “cryptocurrency mining.” In consideration for these services, the Company receives digital currency (“Coins”). The Coins are recorded as revenue, using the average spot price of Bitcoin on the date of receipt. The Coins are recorded on the balance sheet as an intangible digital asset valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value adjustments, to adjust the value of Coins to market value, are included in cost of revenue on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. Further, any gain or loss on the sale of Coins would be recorded to costs of revenue. Costs of revenue include electricity costs, equipment and infrastructure depreciation, and net realizable value adjustments.

 

The Company also recognizes revenue under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASC 606”). The core principle of the revenue standard is that a royalty participation uponcompany should recognize revenue to depict the saletransfer of certain containers manufacturedpromised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract 
Step 3: Determine the transaction price  
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract  
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation  

In order to identify the performance obligations in a contract with a customer, a company must assess the promised goods or services in the contract and identify each promised good or service that is distinct. A performance obligation meets ASC 606’s definition of a “distinct” good or service (or bundle of goods or services) if both of the following criteria are met: The customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer (i.e., the good or service is capable of being distinct), and the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract (i.e., the promise to transfer the good or service is distinct within the context of the contract).

If a good or service is not distinct, the good or service is combined with other promised goods or services until a bundle of goods or services is identified that is distinct.

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. When determining the transaction price, an entity must consider the effects of all of the following:

Variable consideration  
Constraining estimates of variable consideration  
The existence of a significant financing component in the contract  
Noncash consideration  
Consideration payable to a customer  

Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. The transaction price allocated to each performance obligation is recognized when that performance obligation is satisfied, at a point in time or over time as appropriate.

The Company has entered into digital asset mining pools by Bit5ive LLCagreeing to terms and conditions, as amended from time to time, with the mining pool operators to provide computing power to the mining pool. The contracts are terminable at any time by either party and the Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when the Company provides computing power to the mining pool operator. In exchange for providing computing power, the Company is entitled to a fractional share of Miami, Florida (the “Pod5ive Containers”) under the fixed cryptocurrency award the mining pool operator receives (less digital asset transaction fees to the mining pool operator which are recorded as a component of cost of revenues), for successfully adding a block to the Blockchain. The terms of the agreement provide that neither party can dispute settlement terms after thirty-five days following settlement. The Company’s fractional share is based on the proportion of computing power the Company contributed to the mining pool operator to the total computing power contributed by all mining pool participants in solving the current algorithm.

Providing computing power to solve complex cryptographic algorithms in support of the Bitcoin Blockchain (in a collaboration agreement enteredprocess known as “solving a block”) is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The provision of providing such computing power is the only performance obligation in August 2018.the Company’s agreements with mining pool operators. The transaction consideration the Company receives, if any, is noncash consideration, which the Company measures at fair value on the date received, which is not materially different than the fair value at contract inception or the time the Company has earned the award from the pools. The consideration is all variable. Because it is not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur, the consideration is constrained until the mining pool operator successfully places a block (by being the first to solve an algorithm) and the Company receives confirmation of the consideration it will receive, at which time revenue is recognized. There is no significant financing component in these transactions.

18

Fair value of the cryptocurrency award received is determined using the quoted price of the related cryptocurrency at the time of receipt. There is currently no specific definitive guidance under GAAP or alternative accounting framework for the accounting for cryptocurrencies recognized as revenue or held, and management has exercised significant judgment in determining the appropriate accounting treatment. In the event authoritative guidance is enacted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the Company may be required to change its policies, which could have an effect on the Company’s financial position and results from operations.

Hosting Revenues

We receive revenues from third parties renting capacity at our facility and from hosting miners owned by others. The Company recognized $192 and $0 from these sources during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, two customers accounted for 68% and 23% respectively of hosting revenue.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight–line method on the various asset classes over their estimated useful lives, which range from one to ten years when placed in service. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. Deposits on property and equipment are initially classified as Other Assets and upon delivery, installation and full payment, the assets are classified as property and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet.

18

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever facts or circumstances either internally or externally may suggest that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, should there be an indication of impairment, we test for recoverability by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset to the carrying amount of the asset or asset group. Any excess of the carrying value of the asset or asset group over its estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss.

 

Stock–based compensationDerivative Instruments

 

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all equity–based paymentsDerivative financial instruments are recorded in the accompanying balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. Under fair value recognition provisions,815. When the Company recognizes equity–based compensation netenters into a financial instrument such as a debt or equity agreement (the “host contract”), the Company assesses whether the economic characteristics of an estimated forfeiture rateany embedded features are clearly and recognizes compensation cost only for those shares expectedclosely related to vest over the requisite service periodprimary economic characteristics of the award.

When it is determined that (i) an embedded feature possesses economic characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the primary economic characteristics of the board of directors ofhost contract, and (ii) a separate, stand-alone instrument with the Company (the “Board of Directors”). These awards are restricted as tosame terms would meet the transfer of ownership and generally vest over the requisite service periods, typically over a 12 to 24-month period (vesting on a straight–line basis).

derivative instrument. The fair value of an option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black–Scholes option valuation model. The Black–Scholes option valuation model requires the development of assumptions that are inputs into the model. These assumptions are the expected stock volatility, the risk–free interest rate, the expected life of the option, the dividend yield on the underlying stock and the expected forfeiture rate. Expected volatility is calculated based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the expected term of the option. Risk–free interest rates are calculated based on continuously compounded risk–free rates for the appropriate term.

Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards requires the input of the subjective assumptions described above. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. The Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and recognize expense only for those shares expected to vest.

The Company accounts for share–based payments granted to non–employees in accordance with ASC 718-10, “Share-Based Payment,” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expenses for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options under the Company’s stock plans and equity awards issued to non-employees based on estimated fair values.

ASC 718-10 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based option awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model.

Revenues

Our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by $600 to $537 as compared to $1,137 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Our revenue is derived from cryptocurrency mining. The decrease in revenues is a result of less Bitcoins mined due to fewer miners in operations and higher difficulty rate, offset by increased Bitcoin prices.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by $1,369, or 49%, to $1,421 as compared to $2,790 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in operating expenses was due to decreases in general and administrative expenses of $719 and cost of revenue of $650.

The decrease in general and administrative expenses of $719 or 44% to $934 as compared to $1,653 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, was primarily due to decreases in legal and professional fees of $385 and decrease in salary expense of $282, and costs related to the Company’s mining facility in Georgia of $120. The decrease in cost of revenue of $650, or 57%, to $487, as compared to $1,137 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is due primarily to lower electricity usage of $371 from fewer bitcoin miners in operation and reduced depreciation of $279.

Other Income and Expense

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, non–operating income and expenses of $362 consisted primarily of accretion of debt discount of $270, change in fair value of derivative of $33, loss on settlement of debt of $30, and interest expense of $39, partially offset by and a gain on sale of property and equipment of $10.

Liquidity and capital resources

 

Sources of Liquidity

 

We have historically financed our business through the sale of debt and equity interests. We have incurred significant operating losses since inception and continue to generate losses from operations and as of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 have an accumulated deficit of $419,635.$421,446. At June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents were $739,$633, and our working capital deficit was $911. As of June 30, 2021, we had $1,320 of convertible promissory notes outstanding.$302.

 

In January 2020, management completed the initial phaseconsolidation of its plan to consolidate its activities in a Company-owned and managed facilities, executing on its expansion model to secure low-cost power and grow its cryptocurrency assets. In connection with this plan, the Companyfacility, after having terminated itsall management agreements and itswith outside investors as well as all third-party hosting arrangements in 2019. The Company will need to raise additional fundingcapital to fund operating losses and grow its operations and to pay current maturities of debt.operations. There can be no assurance however that the Company will be able to raise additional capital when needed, or at terms deemed acceptable, if at all. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital will also be impacted by the volatility of Bitcoin and the ongoing SEC enforcement action against our Chief Executive Officer, both of which are highly uncertain, cannot be predicted and could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition. The issuance of any additional shares of Common Stock, preferred stock or convertible securities could be substantially dilutive to our shareholders. Such factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to sustain operations for at least one year from the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The price of Bitcoin is volatile, and fluctuations are expected. Declines in the price of Bitcoin have had a negative impact on our operating results and liquidity and could harm the price of our common stock. Movements may be influenced by various factors, including, but not limited to, government regulation, security breaches experienced by service providers, as well as political and economic uncertainties around the world. Since we record revenue based on the price of earned Bitcoin and we may retain such Bitcoin as an asset or as payment for future expenses, the relative value of such revenues may fluctuate, as will the value of any Bitcoin we retain. The low and high exchange price per Bitcoin for the year ending December 31, 2020, as reported by Blockchain.info, were approximately $5 and $29 respectively. During the period January 1, 20212022 through June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the price of Bitcoin remained very volatile, with a low and high exchange price per Bitcoin of approximately $31$35 and $63,$48, respectively.

The supply of Bitcoin is finite. Once 21 million Bitcoin are generated, the network will stop producing more. Currently, there are approximately 19 million Bitcoin in circulation, or 90% of the total supply of Bitcoin. Within the Bitcoin protocol is an event referred to as Halving where the Bitcoin reward provided upon mining a block is reduced by 50%. Halvings are scheduled to occur once every 210,000 blocks, or roughly every four years, until the maximum supply of 21 million Bitcoin is reached. The thirdmost recent Halving occurred onin May 11, 2020, with a revised reward payout of 6.25 Bitcoin per block, down from the previous reward payout of 12.5 Bitcoin per blockblock.

 

Given a stable hash rate, a Halving reduces the number of new Bitcoin being generated by the network. While the effect is to limit the supply of new coins, it has no impact on the quantity of total Bitcoin outstanding. As a result, the price of Bitcoin could rise or fall based on overall investor and consumer demand. Should the price of Bitcoin remain unchanged after the next Halving, the Company’s revenue would be reduced by 50%, with a much larger negative impact to profit.

 

Our primary source of operating funds has been through debt and equity financing.

In light of broader macro-economic risks and already known impacts on certain industries, we have taken, and continue to take targeted steps to lower our operating expenses because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to monitor the impacts of COVID-19 on our operations closely and this situation could change based on a significant number of factors that are not entirely within our control and are discussed in this and other sections of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

U.S. Small Business Administration-Paycheck Protection Plan

On April 16, 2020, we entered into a promissory note (the “PPP Loan”) with Aquesta Bank for $108 in connection with the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) offered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). The PPP Loan had terms including an interest rate of 1% per annum, with monthly installments of $6 commencing on November 1, 2021 through its maturity on April 1, 2023. The principal amount of the PPP Loan is forgiven if the loan proceeds are used to pay for payroll costs, rent and utilities costs over the 24-week period after the loan is made. Not more than 40% of the forgiven amount may be used for non-payroll costs. In addition, in July 2020, the Company received $3 from the SBA as a COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan Advance (the “EIDL Advance”)

On April 1, 2021, the Company received notice of forgiveness from the SBA in the amount of $108 in relation to the PPP Loan as the Company used all proceeds from the PPP Loan to maintain payroll and other allowable expenses. Further, pursuant to an SBA Procedural Notice in December 2020, the EIDL Advance was also forgiven. The Company has concluded that the PPP Loan and EIDL Advance represent, in substance, a government grant that is forgiven in its entirety. As such, in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 20, “Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance,” the Company has recognized the entire PPP Loan and EIDL Advance amount of $111 as grant income, which is included in other non-operating income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Item 4. Controls and procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive)executive officer and principal financial officer) carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in paragraph (e) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) were not effective as June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 due to the following material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting: Our small number of employees does not allow for sufficient segregation of duties and independent review of duties performed.

 

Limitations on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

An internal control system over financial reporting has inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

Management’s Quarterly Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting is a process used to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our board of directors and management; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
