Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (“MGT Capital”) is a Delaware corporation, incorporated in 2000. MGT Capital was originally incorporated in Utah in 1977. “MGT” or the “Company” is comprised of the parent company, wholly–owned subsidiaries MGT Cybersecurity, Inc., Medicsight, Inc., MGT Sports, Inc., MGT Studios, Inc. (“MGT Studios”), MGT Interactive, LLC, MGT Gaming, Inc., MGT Mining One, Inc. and MGT Mining Two, Inc. MGT Studios also owns a controlling minority interest in the subsidiary M2P Americas, Inc. MGT’s corporate office is located in Durham, North Carolina.

On July 17, 2018, the Company formed MGT Sweden AB, to become the direct operator of its operations in Sweden as described below.

On March 23, 2018, the Company’s stockholders approved an increase in the Company’s authorized common stock from 75,000,000 shares to 125,000,000 shares. On March 23, 2018, the Company filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the state of Delaware to reflect this change.

On March 23, 2018, the Company’s stockholders approved a 1-for-2 reverse split of the Company’s common stock, to be effected only if needed for the Company’s application to uplist its common stock to a national exchange. As of August 14, 2018, the Company had not amended its Certificate of Incorporation to reflect this reverse split and such adjustments are not reflected within these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

On June 13, 2018, the Company filed a universal shelf registration statement covering up to $150 million of various MGT securities, including common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, rights, warrants, and units, that the Company may sell from time to time. On August 10, 2018, this registration statement on Form S-3 was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Cryptocurrency mining

In September 2016, MGT commenced its Bitcoin mining operations in the Wenatchee Valley area of central Washington. Throughout 2017, the Company expanded its mining capacity with the purchase of additional Bitcoin mining machines and by entering into hosting and power agreements with Washington facilities owners. The Company also entered into management agreements with third party investors whereby the investors purchased the mining hardware, and the Company receives both a fee to manage the mining operations plus one-half of the net operating profit.

Towards the end of 2017, the Company determined that there was a lack of adequate electric power in Washington to support the Company’s growth, and the Company moved swiftly to find a new facility to conduct its mining operations. By the end of 2017, the Company made the decision to move its principal mining operations to northern Sweden, a geographic location with historically low ambient temperatures and available inexpensive electricity. The Company entered into a hosting agreement (the “Hosting Agreement”) with Beacon Leasing LLC (“Beacon”), pursuant to which Beacon agreed to deliver a turn-key solution in northern Sweden, which included a facility with power, cooling, and hosting services with up to 15 megawatts of electricity capacity for a fixed price of $810 per month. The facility in Sweden is owned by the city of Älvsbyn and leased by Beacon. Beacon committed to provide a fully functional facility by the end of March 2018. The Hosting Agreement required the Company to pay $1,620 to Beacon, representing the first and last month of service. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company took delivery of an additional 2,000 Bitcoin mining machines in Sweden and moved 4,300 machines (including 2,100 investor-owned machines) from Washington to Sweden.

Beacon failed to deliver the fully built out facility and necessary power supply levels required by MGT by the end of March 2018. Through the first quarter of 2018 and into the second quarter, MGT personnel made visits to Sweden and assisted Beacon with efforts to get the facility up and running. The Company also advanced additional funds to Beacon to maximize operational capacity as quickly as possible. During April 2018, the Company became involved in the design and setup of the Sweden facility due to concern that Beacon may have overstated their construction abilities and financial capacity.

Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation, continued

Cryptocurrency mining, continued

On May 16, 2018, the Company learned that none of the amounts due from Beacon to the electric utility serving the Älvsbyn facility were paid and that the utility had issued a shut-down notice. In order to avoid a suspension of mining operations, the Company paid $368 directly to the electric utility, representing certain required deposits for transformers. On the same day, the Company notified Beacon that it was in breach of the Hosting Agreement.

Subsequent to May 16, 2018, the Company intensified its efforts to determine the extent of Beacon’s non-performance under the Hosting Agreement. Management made several more trips to Sweden to supervise the completion of the facility as well as investigate Beacon’s accounting records. The Company determined that Beacon also was faced with unpaid invoices from various other service providers to the facility.

Beginning in late May 2018, the Company took steps to become the direct operator of the Swedish facility to gain control of the situation, protect its assets, and maximize operational capacity as quickly as possible. These actions included paying the outstanding amounts owed by Beacon in order to maintain the vendor relationships needed to complete the facility and forming MGT Sweden AB to assume the building lease and the power agreements.

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded restructuring expense of $2,499, which included the write-off of the unamortized balance of the initial deposit paid to Beacon in the amount of $1,350 and $1,149, for additional costs paid by the Company to service providers and vendors engaged to complete the build out of the facility. These costs consist of unpaid obligations for services provided prior to the second quarter of 2018, including:

Costs to bring electricity provider current and set up additional transformers	$	893
Satisfaction of payables for materials, repairs and supplies		206
Satisfaction of payables for payroll and consulting fees		50
TOTAL	$	1,149

The cost of services provided after the Company took over full direct operational control of the facility are included in cost of revenue and general and administrative expenses in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

As of June 30, 2018, MGT owned and operated approximately 500 miners located in a leased facility in Quincy, Washington and 4,200 miners located in the leased facility in Sweden. In addition, the Company operates about 2,100 miners in the Sweden location pursuant to management agreements. All miners owned or managed by MGT are S9 Antminers sold by Bitmain Technologies LTD. In addition to the S9 Antminers, the Company owns 50 custom designed GPU-based Ethereum mining rigs. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company mined 145.8 Bitcoin for total revenue of $1,355.

Legacy business – cybersecurity

On January 26, 2018, the Company announced the end of its business relationship with cybersecurity pioneer John McAfee. Since August 2017, Mr. McAfee had served as Chief Cybersecurity Visionary of the Company, guiding the development of the Company’s cybersecurity business, including Sentinel, an enterprise class network intrusion detector, released in October 2017. The Company also owned the intellectual property associated with developing and marketing a mobile phone with extensive privacy and anti-hacking features.

On March 19, 2018, the Company announced it had ended its cybersecurity operations by selling the Sentinel product line to a new entity formed by the unit’s management team and stopping development of the privacy phone. The Sentinel assets were sold for consideration of $60 in cash and a $1,000 promissory note, convertible into a 20% equity interest of the buyer.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except share and per–share amounts)

Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation, continued

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10–Q and Rule 10 of Regulation S–X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, in the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results have been included in these statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the SEC on April 2, 2018. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2018.

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, 2018, the Company had incurred significant operating losses since inception and continues to generate losses from operations. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $392,468. As of June 30, 2018, MGT’s cash and cash equivalents were $2,298. As of August 14, 2018, MGT’s cash and cash equivalents were $226.

Management’s plans include maximizing the utilization of its cryptocurrency mining machines, which were delivered during early 2018. As discussed in Note 1, the Company experienced additional delays and costs due to the non-performance of a key vendor. The Company has assumed the role of direct operator in its primary mining facility and considers this facility to be materially complete. Based on current budget assumptions, the Company believes that it will be able to meet its operating expenses and obligations for one year from the date these consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company will need to raise additional funding to grow its operations and to pay current maturities of debt. 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. 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. Management’s plans, including the operation of its existing cryptocurrency mining machines, the raising of additional capital and potentially curtailing its operations alleviate such substantial doubt. 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 its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Non-controlling interest represents the non-controlling 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

Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

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, determining the potential impairment of intangibles, the fair value of warrants issued, the fair value of stock options, the fair value of conversion features, the fair value of the deemed dividend, 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.

Revenue recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) which was subsequently amended by ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12, and ASU 2017-13. These ASUs outline a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The guidance includes a five-step framework that requires an entity to: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. A full retrospective or modified retrospective approach was required upon adoption. The Company has adopted ASU No. 2014-09 effective January 1, 2018.

The Company has elected to apply the modified retrospective method and the impact was determined to be immaterial on the condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the new revenue standard has been applied prospectively in its condensed consolidated financial statements from January 1, 2018 forward and reported financial information for historical comparable periods will not be revised and will continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect during those historical periods.

The Company has performed an analysis and identified its revenues and costs that are within the scope of the new guidance. The Company determined that its methods of recognizing revenues have not been significantly impacted by the new guidance.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Revenue recognition, continued

The Company’s primary revenue stream is related to the 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 networks of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, 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 at their fair value and re–measured at each reporting date. Costs of revenues includes equipment depreciation, rent, and electricity costs. Revaluation gains or losses, as well gains or losses on sale of Coins are also recorded as a part of cost of revenue in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company also recognizes revenue from its Management Agreements (as defined in Note 9). The Company receives a fee from each Management Agreement based on the amount of Bitcoin mined and is reimbursed for any electricity costs incurred to run the bitcoin mining machines it manages in its facility.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Income Taxes”. ASC 740 requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes and established for all the entities a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of tax positions, and requires certain expanded disclosures. The provision for income taxes is based upon income or loss after adjustment for those permanent items that are not considered in the determination of taxable income. Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. As of the completion of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, we have made a reasonable estimate of the effects of the Tax Act. This estimate incorporates assumptions made based upon the Company’s current interpretation of the Tax Act, and may change as the Company may receive additional clarification and implementation guidance and as the interpretation of the Tax Act evolves. In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, the Company will finalize the accounting for the effects of the Tax Act no later than the fourth quarter of 2018. Future adjustments made to the provisional effects will be reported as a component of income tax expense in the reporting period in which any such adjustments are determined. Based on the new tax law that lowers corporate tax rates, the Company revalued its deferred tax assets. Future tax benefits are expected to be lower, with the corresponding one time charge being recorded as a component of income tax expense.

The Company was previously delinquent in the filing of its 2015 and 2016 US Federal and state tax returns. On August 10, 2018, the Company filed its delinquent returns and is now in good standing in all income tax jurisdictions.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

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 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2018 excludes 1,250,000 shares issuable to the investors of the December 2017 private placement, 3,600,000 unvested restricted shares, 6,000,000 shares issuable under stock options, and 9,440,796 shares issuable under warrants. The computation of diluted loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 excludes 1,500,000 unvested restricted shares, 6,000,000 shares issuable under options and 11,716,819 shares issuable under warrants, as they are anti–dilutive due to the Company’s net loss.

Stock–based compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expenses for all equity–based payments in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. Under fair value recognition provisions, the Company recognizes equity–based compensation net of an estimated forfeiture rate and recognizes compensation cost only for those shares expected to vest over the requisite service period of the award.

Restricted stock awards are granted at the discretion of the compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company. 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 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 505–50, “Equity Based Payments to Non–Employees.” The Company determines the fair value of the stock–based payment as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more readily determinable. If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of either (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete. The fair value of unvested equity instruments is re-measured each reporting period and such re-measured value is amortized over the requisite remaining service period.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Equity-linked instruments

The Company accounts for equity-linked instruments with certain anti-dilution provisions in accordance with ASC 815 and ASC 260. Under this guidance, the Company excludes instruments with certain down round features when determining whether a financial instrument (or embedded conversion feature) is considered indexed to the Company’s own stock. As a result, financial instruments (or embedded conversion features) with down round features are not required to be classified as derivative liabilities. The Company recognizes the value of a down round feature only when it is triggered and the exercise or conversion price has been adjusted downward. For equity-classified freestanding financial instruments, such as warrants, the Company treats the value of the effect of the down round, when triggered, as a deemed dividend and a reduction of income available to common stockholders in computing basic earnings per share. For convertible instruments with embedded conversion features containing down round provisions, the Company recognizes the value of the down round as a beneficial conversion discount to be amortized to earnings.

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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, other than those disclosed below and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on April 2, 2018.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The guidance is effective for public entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. For all other entities, ASU 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this pronouncement.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10 Leases (Topic 842), Codification Improvements and ASU 2018-11 Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements, to provide additional guidance for the adoption of Topic 842. ASU 2018-10 clarifies certain provisions and correct unintended applications of the guidance such as the application of implicit rate, lessee reassessment of lease classification, and certain transition adjustments that should be recognized to earnings rather than to stockholders' equity. ASU 2018-11 provides an alternative transition method and practical expedient for separating contract components for the adoption of Topic 842. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) which requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases with terms greater than 12 months. ASU 2018-11, ASU 2018-10, and ASU 2016-02 (collectively, “the new lease standards”) are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the new lease standards will have on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements; however, the Company anticipates recognizing assets and liabilities arising from any leases that meet the requirements under the new lease standards on the adoption date and including qualitative and quantitative disclosures in the Company’s Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 12 – 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.

Management agreements

On October 12, 2017, MGT entered into two management agreements with two accredited investors, Deep South Mining LLC and BDLM, LLC. On November 21, 2017, the Company entered into a third management agreement with another accredited investor, Buckhead Crypto, LLC (“Buckhead Crypto”) (all three accredited investors together are “Users”, each agreement a “Management Agreement”, and all three agreements together are “Management Agreements”). Each of the Users agreed on substantially similar terms to purchase an aggregate of 2,376 Bitmain Antminer S9 mining computers (the “Bitcoin Hardware”) for a total of $3,650 to mine Bitcoin with the Company acting as the exclusive manager for each of the Users. In addition, the Users have agreed to pay to the Company, in advance, the first three months of expected electricity costs of the Bitcoin mining operations in the sum of $691, which is included in Other Payables on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017. Initial electricity cost for the first three months following delivery of the Bitcoin Hardware shall be reimbursed to the Users within the first three months of operation. Each Management Agreement is in effect for 24 months from the date that the Bitcoin Hardware begins mining operations, and may be terminated by mutual written agreement.

Pursuant to the Management Agreements, the Company shall provide for installation, hosting, maintenance and repair and provide ancillary services necessary to operate the Bitcoin Hardware. In accordance with each of the Management Agreements, each of the Users will gain a portion of the Bitcoin mined called the user distribution portion (“User Distribution Portion”). The User Distribution Portion is 50% of the amount of Bitcoin mined net of the operating fee (10% of the total Bitcoin mined) and the electricity cost.

Furthermore, upon execution of the Management Agreements, as an incentive to the Users, the Company issued to the Users an aggregate of 436,100 shares of the Company’s common stock and a Series F warrant to purchase 436,100 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $2.00 per share exercisable for a period of three years to the Users. The Company issued the shares of common stock and issued all three Series F warrants for the benefits of the three Users on the respective dates of the execution of the Management Agreements.

On February 28, 2018, the Company and Buckhead Crypto terminated their Management Agreement. The Company purchased the Bitcoin mining machines for $767 and refunded prepaid electricity paid by Buckhead Crypto of $133.

On February 13, 2018, the Company entered into a new management agreement with a third party with terms similar to the other Management Agreements. The third party agreed to purchase 200 Bitmain Antminer S9 mining computers for a total of $428 to mine Bitcoin with the Company acting as the exclusive manager. This management agreement is in effect for 24 months from the date that the Bitcoin Hardware begins mining operations, and may be terminated by mutual written agreement.

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company owed $193 and $0, respectively, to the Users as the User Distribution Portion under the Management Agreements. This amount is included as accrued expenses on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Legal

On April 4, 2017, an action was filed against the Company by a former shareholder Barry Honig and others in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”) against the Company and certain of its officers and directors (the “Breach of Contract Action”). The Breach of Contract Action alleged claims for breach of contract, tortious interference with contractual relations, and unjust enrichment related to the Company’s unsuccessful attempt to acquire D–Vasive, Inc. (“D-Vasive”) and Demonsaw LLC (“Demonsaw”) in 2016 and the alleged resulting harm to certain D–Vasive, and Demonsaw noteholders. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss on June 5, 2017. On June 26, 2012 the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. On July 24, 2017, the defendants subsequently filed a second motion to dismiss that amended complaint. On March 19, 2018, the Court issued a Memorandum Opinion & Order dismissing the breach of contract and tortious interference claims, but permitting the unjust enrichment claim to proceed. On April 2, 2018, the defendants filed a motion asking the Court to reconsider its decision to permit the unjust enrichment claim to proceed. On April 30, the Court issued a civil case management plan and scheduling order setting deadlines for discovery in the action. The Court denied the defendant’s motion for reconsideration by order dated May 4, 2018.

On May 23, 2018, the plaintiffs and the defendants agreed to dismiss the Breach of Contract Action and filed a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice (the “Stipulation of Dismissal”) with the Court. The Court “so ordered” the Stipulation of Dismissal on May 24, 2018 and dismissed the case in its entirety.

Executive summary

MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (“MGT”, “the Company”, “we”, or “us”) is a Delaware corporation, incorporated in 2000. The Company was originally incorporated in Utah in 1977. MGT is comprised of the parent company, wholly–owned subsidiaries MGT Cybersecurity, Inc. Medicsight, Inc., MGT Sports, Inc., MGT Studios, Inc. (“MGT Studios”), MGT Interactive, LLC, MGT Gaming, Inc., MGT Mining One, Inc., MGT Mining Two, Inc. and MGT Sweden AB. MGT Studios also owns a controlling minority interest in the subsidiary M2P Americas, Inc. Our corporate office is located in Durham, North Carolina.

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

In September 2016, MGT commenced its Bitcoin mining operations in the Wenatchee Valley area of central Washington. Throughout 2017, the Company expanded its mining capacity with the purchase of additional Bitcoin mining machines and by entering into hosting and power agreements with Washington facilities owners. The Company also entered into management agreements with third party investors whereby the investors purchased the mining hardware, and the Company received both a fee to manage the mining operations plus one-half of the net operating profit.

On May 16, 2018, the Company was notified by the utility provider that none of the amounts due to them from Beacon related to the facility were paid and that they would be shutting down the existing power to the Company’s facility. In order to avoid a shutdown of the facility, the Company paid the utility provider $368, representing the customer deposit required in order to run the new transformers that had been ordered under the direction of Beacon. During July, the Company paid an additional aggregate of $947 to the utility provider, representing power fees through June 30, 2018. On May 16, 2018, the Company notified Beacon that is was in material breach of the Hosting Agreement.

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 consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report describe our significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the 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 consolidated financial statements.

Revenue recognition

The Company has elected to apply the modified retrospective method and the impact was determined to be immaterial on the condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the new revenue standard has been applied prospectively in our condensed consolidated financial statements from January 1, 2018 forward and reported financial information for historical comparable periods will not be revised and will continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect during those historical periods.

The Company also recognizes revenue from its management agreements. The Company receives a fee from each management agreement based on the amount of Bitcoin mined and is reimbursed for any electricity costs incurred to run the bitcoin mining machines it manages in its facility.

Stock–based compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all equity–based payments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. Under fair value recognition provisions, the Company recognizes equity–based compensation net of an estimated forfeiture rate and recognizes compensation cost only for those shares expected to vest over the requisite service period of the award.

Restricted stock awards are granted at the discretion of the compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company. 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 Company accounts for share–based payments granted to non–employees in accordance with ASC 505–50, “Equity Based Payments to Non–Employees”. The Company determines the fair value of the stock–based payment as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more readily determinable. If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of either (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete. The fair value of unvested equity instruments is re–measured each reporting period and such re-measured value is amortized over the requisite remaining service period.

Results of operations

Three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

Revenues

Our revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased by $21, or 5%, to $409 as compared to $388 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Our revenue is derived from cryptocurrency mining. The increase in revenues is a result of our increased mining capacity through the acquisition of additional machines during the year ended December 31, 2017 and during the first quarter of 2018.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased by $2,289, or 51%, to $6,797 as compared to $4,508 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to a 2018 charge of $2,499 for the Sweden restructuring and a $827 increase in cost of revenues from the increase in cryptocurrency mining operations, offset by a decrease of $889 in general and administrative expenses.

The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation of $916, a decrease in legal and professional fees of $646, offset by an increase in payroll and related expenses of $351 and administrative costs to operate our Sweden facility of $396.

Other Income and Expense

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, non–operating expenses consisted of interest expense of $117. During the comparable period ended June 30, 2017, non–operating expenses consisted of interest expense of $163 offset by a gain on property and equipment of $48.

Six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

Revenues

Our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased by $665, or 95%, to $1,365 as compared to $700 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Our revenue is derived from cryptocurrency mining. The significant increase in revenues is a result of our increased mining capacity through the acquisition of additional machines during the year ended December 31, 2017 and during the first quarter of 2018.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased by $4,224, or 54%, to $11,989 as compared to $7,765 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to a charge of $2,499 for the Sweden restructuring, $1,507 increase in cost of revenues from the increase in cryptocurrency mining operations, and an increase of $485 in general and administrative expenses.

The increase in general administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase of $881 in payroll and related expenses, an increase of $396 due to administrative costs to run our Sweden facility, expenses of $282 in 2018 for investor relations, corporate communications, and our special meeting of shareholders in March 2018, offset by a decrease of $1,132 in legal and professional fees.

Other Income and Expense

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, non–operating expenses primarily consisted of interest expense of $117, warrant modification expense of $139, loss on the sale of cybersecurity assets of $127 and a loss on sale of property and equipment of $47. During the comparable period ended June 30, 2017, non–operating expenses of $3,061 primarily consisting of an impairment charge/loss on sale of investments of $2,871.

Liquidity and capital resources

Sources of Liquidity

We have historically financed our business through the sale of debt and equity interests. As of June 30, 2018, we have incurred significant operating losses since inception and continue to generate losses from operations and as of June 30, 2018 have an accumulated deficit of $392,468. At June 30, 2018, our cash and cash equivalents were $2,298 and our working capital deficit was $3,017. As of June 30, 2018, we had notes payable outstanding with a face value of $4,440. As of August 14, 2018, our cash and cash equivalents were $226.

Management’s plans include maximizing the utilization of its cryptocurrency mining machines, which were delivered during early 2018. As discussed in Note 1 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company experienced additional delays and costs due to the non-performance of a key vendor. The Company has assumed the role of direct operator in its primary mining facility and considers this facility to be materially complete. Based on current budget assumptions, the Company believes that it will be able to meet its operating expenses and obligations for one year from the date these consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company will need to raise additional funding to grow its operations and to pay current maturities of debt. 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. 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. Management’s plans, including the operation of its existing cryptocurrency mining machines, the raising of additional capital and potentially curtailing its operations alleviate such substantial doubt. 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 has a negative impact in 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 high and low exchange rate per Bitcoin for the six months ending June 30, 2018, as reported by Blockchain.info, were approximately $6 and $17 respectively.

Off–balance sheet arrangements

As of June 30, 2018 we had no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off–balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off–balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosure about market risk

The Company is not exposed to market risk related to interest rates on foreign currencies.

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 and our Chief Financial 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) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2018. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial 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, 2018 due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as described below.

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.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), we performed a complete documentation of the Company’s significant processes and key controls, and conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2018 due to the material weaknesses described below.

A material weakness is defined within the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Auditing Standard No. 5 as a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We determined that our internal control of financial reporting had the following material weakness:

●

Due to the small size of the Company, the Company does not maintain sufficient segregation of duties to ensure the processing, review and authorization of all transactions including non-routine transactions.

●

Our processes lacked timely and complete reviews and analysis of information used to prepare our financial statements and disclosures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

●

The Company failed to prevent and timely discover a misappropriation of assets by a key vendor of the Company.

The Company is evaluating these weaknesses to determine the appropriate remedy. Because disclosure controls and procedures include those components of internal control over financial reporting that provide reasonable assurances that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, management also determined that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of the foregoing material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, there were no changes in internal controls.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal proceedings

On April 4, 2017, an action was filed against the Company by a former shareholder Barry Honig and others in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”) against the Company and certain of its officers and directors (the “Breach of Contract Action”). The Breach of Contract Action alleged claims for breach of contract, tortious interference with contractual relations, and unjust enrichment related to the Company’s unsuccessful attempt to acquire D–Vasive, Inc.
