Note 1. Organization and basis of presentation
 
Organization
 
MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (“MGT,” “the Company,” “we,” “us”) is a Delaware corporation, incorporated in 2000. The Company was originally incorporated in Utah in 1977. MGT is comprised of the parent company, majority–owned subsidiaries MGT Gaming, Inc. (“MGT Gaming”), MGT Interactive LLC (“MGT Interactive”), and wholly–owned subsidiaries Medicsight, Inc. (“Medicsight”), MGT Studios, Inc. (“MGT Studios”) including its wholly–owned subsidiary Avcom, Inc. and its minority–owned subsidiary M2P Americas, Inc., and MGT Sports, Inc. (“MGT Sports”). Our Corporate office is located in Harrison, New York.
 
MGT and its subsidiaries are primarily engaged in the business of acquiring, developing and monetizing assets in the online and mobile gaming space, as well as the social casino industry. Below are descriptions of the business lines that make up our two operating segments, Gaming and Intellectual Property.
 
Gaming
 
MGT and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the business of acquiring, developing and monetizing assets in the online and mobile gaming space as well as the social casino industry. MGT’s portfolio of assets in the online, mobile gaming and social casino gaming space includes DraftDay.com, FantasySportsLive.com and Slot Champ. 
 
On June 11, 2015, MGT Sports, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “RO Agreement”) with Random Outcome USA Inc., a Delaware corporation (“RO”). The RO Agreement, as amended on June 30, 2015 and July 21, 2015, provides for the sale of all of the business assets and intellectual property related to DraftDay.com and the MGT Sports business–to–business network to RO for a purchase price comprised of (i) a cash payment in the amount of $4,000,000 plus $10,000 per day for the period starting July 15, 2015 and ending on the closing date, (ii) shares of common stock representing up to 7% of RO, and (iii) a three–year warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of RO common stock at an exercise price of $1.00, a three–year warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of RO common stock at an exercise price of $1.33, and a three–year warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of RO common stock at an exercise price of $1.66. In addition, shares of common stock representing 3% of RO will be placed in escrow for twelve months in order to support certain indemnification obligations under the RO Agreement. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the RO Agreement is subject to certain conditions including but not limited to RO raising the requisite financing for the cash portion of the purchase price and post–closing working capital.
 
The most recent amendment to the RO Agreement became effective on July 22, 2015 upon MGT Sports’ entry into a binding memorandum of understanding to sell shares of its Series A Preferred Stock to a third party investor for a purchase price of $250,000, and the payment to MGT Sports of the $250,000. The preferred stock shall have a stated value of $250,000, a liquidation preference of $250,000 and be senior to all existing and future equity of MGT Sports. Holders may convert the preferred stock into 6.25% of MGT Sports’ issued and outstanding common stock at any time and shall not be entitled to voting rights. MGT Sports may redeem the preferred stock at 100% of the stated value, and holders may redeem the preferred stock at 100% of the stated value following closing of the RO Agreement.
 
Intellectual property
 
MGT Gaming owns two U. S. patents covering certain features of casino slot machines. MGT’s wholly owned subsidiary Medicsight owns U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved medical imaging software and has designed an automated carbon dioxide insufflation device on which the Company receives royalties from an international distributor.
 
MGT Gaming owns U.S. Patents 7,892,088 and 8,550,554 (the “’088 and ’554 patents,” respectively), both entitled “Gaming Device Having a Second Separate Bonusing Event” and both relating to casino gaming systems in which a second game played on an interactive sign is triggered once specific events occur in a first game. On November 2, 2012, MGT Gaming filed a lawsuit (No. 3:12–cv–741) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi alleging patent infringement against certain companies which either manufacture, sell or lease gaming systems alleged to be in violation of MGT Gaming’s patent rights, or operate casinos that offer gaming systems that are alleged to be in violation of MGT Gaming’s ’088 patent, including Penn National Gaming, Inc. (“Penn”) (NASDAQ GS: PENN), and Aruze Gaming America, Inc. (“Aruze America”). An amended complaint added the ’554 patent, a continuation of the ’088 patent. The allegedly infringing products include “Amazon Fishing” and “Paradise Fishing.”
 
By motion filed on May 12, 2014, Aruze  America sought a stay pending resolution of a Petition filed by a co–defendant for Inter Parties Review (“IPR”) with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”), challenging the’088 patent. As a result, the Mississippi action was stayed and remains stayed at present.
 
Aruze America and its sister company, Aruze Macau, subsequently filed additional IPR Petitions seeking review of the ’088 and ‘554 patents. Aruze America also filed a Request for Ex Parte Re–examination of the ’088 patent.  Aruze America’s Re–examination Request has been denied. Both Aruze IPR Petitions remain pending.
 
On July 29, 2015, MGT, Aruze America, Aruze Macau, and Penn agreed, through their respective counsel, to settle all pending disputes, including the Mississippi litigation and all proceedings at the PTO. Upon execution of formal settlement documents, which has not yet occurred, the parties will take steps to jointly terminate the Mississippi litigation and the PTO proceedings.
