Note 3. Summary of significant accounting policies

Use of estimates and assumptions and critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date(s) of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period(s).

Critical accounting estimates are estimates for which (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and (b) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating performance is material. The Company’s critical accounting estimates and assumptions affecting the financial statements were:

(1) Fair value of long–lived assets: Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. If long–lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book values of the long–lived assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives. The Company considers the following to be some examples of important indicators that may trigger an impairment review: (i) significant under–performance or losses of assets relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; (ii) significant changes in the manner or use of assets or in the Company’s overall strategy with respect to the manner or use of the acquired assets or changes in the Company’s overall business strategy; (iii) significant negative industry or economic trends; (iv) increased competitive pressures; (v) a significant decline in the Company’s stock price for a sustained period of time; and (vi) regulatory changes. The Company evaluates acquired assets for potential impairment indicators at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of such events.

(2) Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets: Management assumes that the realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets resulting from its net operating loss (“NOL”) carry–forwards for Federal income tax purposes that may be offset against future taxable income was not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry–forwards are offset by a full valuation allowance. Management made this assumption based on (a) the Company has incurred recurring losses, (b) general economic conditions, and (c) its ability to raise additional funds to support its daily operations by way of a public or private offering, among other factors.

(3) Estimates and assumptions used in valuation of equity instruments: Management estimates expected term of share options and similar instruments, expected volatility of the Company’s Common shares and the method used to estimate it, expected annual rate of quarterly dividends, and risk free rate(s) to value share options and similar instruments.

These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of consolidation

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Non–controlling interest represents the minority equity investment in MGT subsidiaries, plus the minority investors’ share of the net operating results and other components of equity relating to the non–controlling interest.

Reclassification of discontinued operations

In accordance with ASC 205–20 regarding the presentation of discontinued operations the assets, liabilities and activity of the DraftDay.com business have been reclassified as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

DraftDay.com’s losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are included in “Loss from discontinued operations” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Summarized financial information for DraftDay.com’s operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 are presented below:

	Three months ended June 30,					Six months ended June 30,
	2016		2015			2016		2015
Revenue	$	–	$	248		$	–	$	464
Cost of sales		–		(96	)		–		(186	)
Gross margin		–		152			–		278
Operating expenses		–		(435	)		–		(836	)
Net loss	$	–	$	(283	)	$	–	$	(558	)

Investments

Equity security investments available for sale, at market value, reflect unrealized appreciation and depreciation, as a result of temporary changes in market value during the period, in shareholders’ equity, net of income taxes in “accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For non–publicly traded securities, market prices are determined through the use of pricing models that evaluate securities. For publicly traded securities, market value is based on quoted market prices or valuation models that use observable market inputs.

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 the convertible Preferred Stock, unvested restricted shares and stock options, are not reflected in diluted net loss per share because such shares are anti–dilutive.

The computation of diluted loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, excludes 1,000,000 unvested restricted shares and 100,000 warrants, as they are anti–dilutive due to the Company’s net loss. The computation of diluted loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, excluded 10,296 shares in connection to the Convertible Preferred stock, 77,500 unvested restricted shares and 1,020,825 warrants, as they were anti–dilutive due to the Company’s net loss.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In April 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016–09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (topic 718). The FASB issued this update to improve the accounting for employee share–based payments and affect all organizations that issue share–based payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share–based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the update is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016–02 “Leases” (topic 842), which creates new accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires organizations that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases, regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The guidance also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted. The new standard is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new pronouncement on its financial statements.
