Accounting Policies [Abstract]    
Principles of Consolidation

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.

Principles of consolidation

 

The 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. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company dissolved all of its wholly owned subsidiaries excluding MGT Sweden AB. In addition, the non-controlling equity interest in M2P Americas, Inc., including the minority investors’ share of the net operating results and other components of equity relating to the non-controlling interest was also dissolved.

Reclassification  

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.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

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 and other long-lived assets, the fair value of warrants issued, the fair value of conversion features, 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.

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.

Beneficial Conversion Feature of Convertible Notes Payable  

Beneficial conversion feature of convertible notes payable

 

The Company accounts for convertible notes payable in accordance with guidelines established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options”. The beneficial conversion feature of a convertible note is normally characterized as the convertible portion or feature of certain notes payable that provide a rate of conversion that is below market value or in-the-money when issued. The Company records a beneficial conversion feature related to the issuance of a convertible note when issued and also records the estimated fair value of any warrants issued with those convertible notes. The beneficial conversion features that are contingent upon the occurrence of a future event are recorded when the contingency is resolved.

 

The beneficial conversion feature of a convertible note is measured by first allocating a portion of the note’s proceeds to any warrants, if applicable, as a discount on the carrying amount of the convertible on a relative fair value basis. The discounted face value is then used to measure the effective conversion price of the note. The effective conversion price and the market price of the Company’s common stock are used to calculate the intrinsic value of the conversion feature. The intrinsic value is recorded in the financial statements as a debt discount from the face amount of the note and such discount is amortized over the expected term of the convertible note (or to the conversion date of the note, if sooner) and is charged to accretion of debt discount on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Prior Period Financial Statement Correction of an Immaterial Misstatement

Prior Period Financial Statement Correction of an Immaterial Misstatement

 

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company identified certain adjustments required to correct balances within notes payable, accretion of debt discount, and the gain on extinguishment of debt relating to the modification to the June 2018 Note that had occurred on December 10, 2018. The Company had incorrectly calculated the fair value of the June 2018 Note as the date of its modification, which in turn, led the Company to calculate an incorrect gain on extinguishment and an incorrect accretion of debt discount. The errors discovered resulted in an overstatement of the Company’s notes payable balance of $566 as of December 31, 2018, and an overstatement of the accretion of debt discount of $14 and understatement on the gain on extinguishment of $580 for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Based on an analysis of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 250 – “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“ASC 250”), Staff Accounting Bulletin 99 – “Materiality” (“SAB 99”) and Staff Accounting Bulletin 108 – “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”), the Company determined that these errors were immaterial to the previously-issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, and as such no restatement was necessary at the time of the filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2019 on May 17, 2019 . Correcting prior year financial statements for immaterial errors would not require previously filed reports to be amended. These corrections would be reflected the next time the registrant files the prior year financial statements. Accordingly, such correction has been made in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 as presented in the interim financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 presented in this registration statement on Form S-1.

 

The effect on these revisions on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 is as follows:

 

    As previously
reported at
December 31, 2018
    Adjustment    

As revised at

Revenue Recognition

Revenue recognition

 

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 as an intangible digital asset valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value adjustments, to reduce the value of the Coins to their market value, is included in cost of revenue on the Company’s consolidated statements of operation. Any gain or loss on sale would be recorded to cost of revenues. Costs of revenues includes equipment depreciation, rent, net realizable value adjustments, and electricity costs.

 

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.

Revenue recognition

 

In May 2014, the 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 consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the new revenue standard has been applied prospectively in its 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.

 

The Company’s primary revenue stream is related to the mining of intangible digital assets. 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 as inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Any gain or loss on sale would be recorded to cost of revenues. Costs of revenues includes equipment depreciation, rent, and electricity costs. Net realizable value adjustments, to reduce the value of the Coins to their market value, is included in cost of revenue on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

 

Due to a lack of authoritative and non-authoritative guidance, the Company had previously recorded the Coins as a security, where the Company would record revaluation gains and losses to cost of revenue. As of September 30, 2018, the Company reviewed certain non-authoritative guidance and changed its accounting policy to reflect that its Coins should be inventory. The Company determined that this change in accounting policy had no effect on its previously filed financial statements.

 

The Company also recognizes revenue from its Management Agreements (as defined in Note 12). 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

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%. In accordance with the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, the Company has finalized its accounting for the effects of the Tax Act and it has not had a material effect on the Company’s results of operations. 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, if applicable.

 

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.

Loss Per Share

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 months ended March 31, 2019 excludes 2,650,001 unvested restricted shares, 6,000,000 shares issuable under stock options, 100,743,629 shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible debt, and 5,477,975 shares issuable under warrants. The computation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2018 excludes 2,000,000 shares issuable to the investors of a private placement in December 2017, 3,250,000 unvested restricted shares, 6,000,000 shares issuable under stock options, and 11,034,642 shares issuable under warrants.

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 year ended December 31, 2018 excludes 3,455,000 unvested restricted shares, 6,000,000 shares issuable under stock options, 67,252,747 shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible debt, and 5,477,975 shares issuable under warrants. The computation of diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2017 excludes 2,000,000 shares issuable to the investors of the December 2017 private placement, 3,381,816 shares issuable to UAHC Ventures, LLC a Nevada limited liability company (“UAHC”) due to the conversion of the UAHC note payable, 3,850,000 unvested restricted shares, 6,000,000 shares issuable under stock options, and 13,720,742 shares issuable under warrants.

Stock-based Compensation

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.

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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents  

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 maintains its cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions whereby the combined account balances exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage by approximately $9,263 as of December 31, 2017. The Company has $96 as the combined account balance as of December 31, 2018. Therefore, since the FDIC’s insurance coverage is for combined account balances that exceed $250, there is no concentration of credit risk as of December 31, 2018.

Property and Equipment  

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment charges. Depreciation is calculated using the straight–line method on the various asset classes over their estimated useful lives, which range from two to five years. 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. Depreciation expense relating to the Company’s cryptocurrency mining machines is included in cost of revenue.

Equity-Linked Instruments  

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.

 

Any incentive-based compensation received by the Optionee from the Company hereunder or otherwise shall be subject to recovery by the Company in the circumstances and manner provided in any Incentive-based Compensation Recovery that may be adopted or implemented by the Company and in effect from time to time on or after the date hereof, and Optionee shall effectuate any such recovery at such time and in such manner as the Company may specify.

Research and Development  

Research and development

 

Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, the Company expensed $47 and $346 in research and development costs.

Gain (Loss) on Modification/extinguishment of Debt

Gain (Loss) on Modification/Extinguishment of Debt

 

In accordance with ASC 470, a modification or an exchange of debt instruments that adds a substantive conversion option or eliminates a conversion option that was substantive at the date of the modification or exchange is considered a substantive change and must be measured by determining the extinguishment of the debt. Additionally, the Company evaluated the discounted cash flows under the terms of the obligations for the May 2018 Notes and June 2018 Note, both before and after the effect of the extension fees in order to determine whether this change should be accounted for as a loan extinguishment or as a modification. The Company determined that the transactions were extinguishments, since the difference between the discounted cash flows exceeded 10%. In addition to the changes in the payment terms of the notes, the debt holders agreed to change the convertibility terms of the Notes from non-convertible notes to convertible notes. The debt holders can elect to be paid in cash (within three trading days of notification) or shares of the Company’s common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized a gain on the extinguishment of debt of $1,275 in conjunction with amending certain of its notes payable on January 7, 2019 and again on March 28, 2019, as well as on January 28, 2019.

Gain (Loss) on Modification/Extinguishment of Debt

 

In accordance with ASC 470, a modification or an exchange of debt instruments that adds a substantive conversion option or eliminates a conversion option that was substantive at the date of the modification or exchange is considered a substantive change and must be measured by determining the extinguishment of the debt. The Company recognized a gain on the extinguishment of debt of approximately $1,875 in conjunction with amending a note purchase agreement on December 10, 2018. In addition to the changes in the payment terms of the note, the debt holder agreed to change the convertibility terms of the Note from a non-convertible note to a convertible note. The debt holder can elect to be paid in cash (within three trading days of notification) or shares of the Company’s common stock.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets  

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. The Company fully impaired the mining assets by expensing $6,345 as of December 31, 2018.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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.

 

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 corrects 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’ (deficit) 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.

 

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” and as part of that process the Company made the following elections:

 

  1. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient, for all leases.
     
  2. The Company elected the package of practical expedients to not reassess prior conclusions related to contracts containing leases, lease classification and initial direct costs for all leases.
     
  3. In March 2018, the FASB approved an optional transition method that allows companies to use the effective date as the date of initial application on transition. The Company elected this transition method, and as a result, will not adjust its comparative period financial information or make the newly required lease disclosures for periods before the effective date.
     
  4. The Company elected to not separate lease and non-lease components, for all leases.

 

The Company recorded a Right of Use Asset of $87 with a corresponding Lease Liability of $84 and a corresponding cumulative adjustment to accumulated deficit of $3 in accordance with Topic 842.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement, Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 is intended to improve the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this pronouncement.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangible – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2018-15”), which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. ASU 2018-15 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this pronouncement.

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’ (deficit) 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 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 Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”) , Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 is intended to improve the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this pronouncement.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangible – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2018-15”), which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. ASU 2018-15 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this pronouncement.

Management's Evaluation of Subsequent Events

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 10 – 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.
