NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per–share amounts)

Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

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

On February 27, 2019, the Company’s stockholders approved an increase in the Company’s authorized common shares from 125,000,000 to 2,500,000,000 and the Company filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the state of Delaware to reflect this change.

On June 4, 2019, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 covering up to 76,558,643 shares of common stock the Company may sell from time to time. On June 25, 2019, this registration was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Through August 14, the Company sold 30,500,000 shares of its common stock under this registration statement for gross proceeds of $1,291.

Cryptocurrency mining

Following a review of its Bitcoin mining operations, the Company has determined to consolidate its activities going forward in Company-owned and managed facilities. Central to this strategy is the recent purchase of land in LaFayette, GA and the entry into a favorable contract for electricity there. Located adjacent to a utility substation, the several acre property has access to over 20 megawatts (MW) of low-cost power. MGT has also ordered transformers with a total load capacity of 12.5 MW to accommodate the first phase of this project and has begun the construction and physical site development. The facility will accommodate shipping containers racked with miners with individual capacities of up to 1 MW.

The Company’s agreements with third-party hosting facilities allow for reduced commitments and provide for flexibility to deploy miners at the new Georgia location upon its readiness. MGT is now mining with 1,260 Bitmain S9 miners in Colorado Springs, representing its entire commitment in this location. In Coshocton, Ohio, MGT is now operating approximately 1,000 S9 miners, including miners in the first Pod5ive container delivered in late July. The Company is contractually committed to a total of 1,800 miners in Ohio, with full deployment dependent upon the speed of the facility buildout by its third-party partner.

On July 15, 2019, the Company announced it entered into a purchase agreement with Bitmaintech Pte. Ltd, a Singapore private limited company, to purchase 1,100 Antminer S17 Bitcoin miners for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2,770, subject to adjustments, with delivery expected in October 2019 to the Company’s facility in Lafayette, GA.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company mined 0.01 and 7.83 Bitcoin for total revenue of $70 and $98, respectively. These coins were earned from hosting facilities located in Washington, Colorado and Ohio. On March 22, 2019, the Company terminated its hosting arrangement in Washington and conveyed its ownership of its machines in satisfaction of outstanding hosting service fees. Bitcoin results above exclude production attributable to investor-owned machines, equaling 38.00 and 38.00 Bitcoin worth $309 and $309 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The Company recognized revenue of $47 under these agreements as described in Note 9.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) 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, 2018, as filed with the SEC on April 16, 2019. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2019.

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, 2019, the Company had incurred significant operating losses since inception and continues to generate losses from operations. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $411,003.

Management’s plans include the consolidation of its activities in Company-owned and managed facilities, executing on its expansion model to secure low cost power and grow its cryptocurrency assets. 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 unaudited condensed 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 consolidation of its activities in Company-owned and managed facilities, 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 MGT Sweden AB. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Use of estimates and assumptions and critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and also affect the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for each period. Actual results could differ from those which result from using such estimates. Management utilizes various other estimates, including but not limited to determining the estimated lives of long-lived assets, determining the potential impairment of 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.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

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 (as defined in Note 5) 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, and as such no restatement was necessary. Correcting prior year financial statements for immaterial errors would not require previously filed reports to be amended. Such correction may be made the next time the registrant files the prior year financial statements. Accordingly, the misstatements were corrected during the period ended March 31, 2019 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018.

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 December 31, 2018
Notes payable, net of discount	$	1,851		$	(566	)	$	1,285
Total current liabilities		2,398			(566	)		1,832
Total liabilities		2,398			(566	)		1,832
Accumulated deficit		(405,285	)		566			(404,719	)
Total stockholders’ deficit		(1,875	)		566			(1,309	)

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 adjust 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.

Additionally, the Company has machines located in a facility in Ohio and Colorado. The Company receives an allocation of profits from this facility, as further described in Note 9. The Company records the net amount of the bitcoin received as revenue on its statement of operations.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with 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.

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, 2019 excludes 1,100,001 unvested restricted shares, 6,000,000 shares issuable under stock options, 74,776,203 shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible debt, 1,450,000 shares issuable under warrants, and 48,780,488 shares under preferred stock. 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.

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.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

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.

Gain (Loss) on Modification/Extinguishment of Debt

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

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 Accounting Standards Update (“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 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. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-07, which has not had a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 Leases 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. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10 Leases, Codification Improvements and ASU 2018-11 Leases, Targeted Improvements, to provide additional guidance for the adoption of ASU 2016-02. 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 ASU 2016-02. ASU 2016-02, ASU 2018-10, ASU 2018-11, (collectively, “Topic 842”) are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted.

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 and made the following elections:

	●	The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient, for all leases.

	●	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.

	●	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.

	●	The Company elected to not separate lease and non-lease components, for all leases.

On January 1, 2019, the Company recorded a Right of Use Asset of $87, 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”), which 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 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

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

Note 4. Property, Plant, and Equipment

In connection with the Company’s strategy to consolidate its activities in Company-owned and managed facilities, the Company acquired 6 acres of land in LaFayette, Georgia in May 2019 for a total cost of $57 and other equipment for $15 in June 2019.

The Company recorded depreciation expense of $0 and $708 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company recorded depreciation expense of $0 and $1,189 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Depreciable assets acquired during the three months ended June 30, 2019 were not placed in service and therefore depreciation has not yet commenced.

Note 5. Notes Payable

On May 23, 2018, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with two accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company issued $840 in unsecured promissory notes for aggregate consideration of $700 (the “May 2018 Notes”). The outstanding balance of the May 2018 Notes was to be made in nine equal monthly installments beginning July 23, 2018. The May 2018 Notes were scheduled to mature on March 23, 2019. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the May 2018 Notes, the Company may prepay all or any portion of the outstanding balance at any time without pre-payment penalty. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the outstanding balance of the May 2018 Notes shall immediately increase to 120% of the outstanding balance immediately prior to the event of default and become immediately due and payable.

On June 1, 2018, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with an accredited investor, pursuant to which the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the amount of $3,600 (the “June 2018 Note”) for consideration of $3,000. The outstanding balance of the June 2018 Note was to be made in nine equal monthly installments beginning August 1, 2018. The June 2018 Note was scheduled to mature on April 1, 2019.

Note 5. Notes Payable, continued

On December 6, 2018, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with an accredited investor, pursuant to which the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the amount of $598 (the “December 2018 Note”) for consideration of $500. The outstanding balance of the December 2018 Note had a maturity date of May 6, 2019 and was paid in full in March 2019. The December 2018 Note bore interest at a rate of 8% per annum and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the December 2018 Note, the Company was permitted to prepay all or any portion of the outstanding balance at any time without pre-payment penalty.

On January 7, 2019, and again on March 28, 2019 the Company entered into amendments to one of the May 2018 Notes. Pursuant to the amendments, the borrower has agreed to extend the maturity date of the note to July 15, 2019 and does not require the Company to make its monthly installment payments due from December 2018, through March 2019, provided that the Company makes all installment payments for the months thereafter beginning April 15, 2019. Installment payments shall be paid in cash unless the Company elects to make payments in shares of the Company’s common stock, in which case the number of shares to be issued will be based on the lowest VWAP of the Company’s common stock during the preceding twenty trading days multiplied by 70%, or any lower price made available to any other holder of the Company’s securities. In consideration of these amendments, the Company incurred extension fees payable to the borrower of $121.

On January 28, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the June 2018 Note. Pursuant to the amendment, the borrower has agreed to extend the maturity date to October 1, 2019 and not require the Company to make its installment payment due under the Note Purchase Agreement during January, February, and March 2019. The Company and the borrower have agreed that the Company is to pay all installment payments in cash unless both the Company and the borrower agree to make payments in shares of the Company’s common stock, in which case the number of shares to be issued will be based on the lowest intra-day trade price of the Company’s common stock during the preceding twenty trading days multiplied by 70%. In consideration of this amendment, the Company incurred an extension fee payable to the borrower of $527.

Because the January 2019 and March 2019 amendments were considered a substantive change, the Company has treated the modification as an extinguishment of debt and determined the gain or loss on the exchange of instruments. Based on the analysis performed, the Company determined that there was a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1,275.

On April 9, 2019, the Company entered an amendment to one of its May 2018 Notes to (a) forego the installment payments due on February 23, 2019 and March 23, 2019, (b) extend the maturity date of the note to August 15, 2019, and (c) include a substantial conversion feature allowing the debt holder, in its sole discretion, to have the right to convert the April 15, 2019 monthly payment, and each payment thereafter, into shares of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares to be issued will be based on the lower of: i) 70% of the lowest intra-day price of the Company’s common stock during the

preceding twenty (20) trading days, or ii) any lower price that is made available to any other holder of the Company’s securities, whether by sale or conversion, on the date of a conversion notice. In exchange for the amendment, the Company compensated the holder of the note by increasing the outstanding principal due by $50. The Company accounted for this amendment as an extinguishment of debt and recorded a gain of $127.

On May 10, 2019, the original holders of the Company’s May 2018 Notes assigned and sold all notes to Oasis Capital, LLC (“Oasis Capital”). On the same date, the Company and Oasis Capital executed a letter agreement to amend the terms of the May 2018 Notes allowing Oasis Capital to convert the total outstanding principal amount of $421 into shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price equal to 70% of the lowest trading price during the 20 days preceding the conversion dates, or any lower price made available to any other holder of the Company’s securities. This amendment also eliminated the Company’s mandatory monthly amortization payments and extended the maturity of the May 2018 Notes until August 15, 2019. After such date, and within 10 business days, any outstanding balance shall be satisfied, at the Company’s election, either with cash, common stock conversion or any combination thereof. On May 15, 2019, the Company issued 10,568,087 shares of its common stock pursuant to the full conversion of the May 2018 Notes.

This amendment also eliminates the Company’s mandatory monthly amortization payments and extends the maturity of the June 2018 Note until December 15, 2019.

Common stock

Equity Purchase Agreement under Form S-3

From January 1, 2019 through April 16, 2019, the Company sold shares of its common stock pursuant to an equity purchase agreement with Oasis Capital. The equity purchase agreement was entered on August 30, 2018 and was amended on November 30, 2018, whereby the Company could issue and sell to Oasis Capital from time to time up to $50,000 of the Company’s common stock that was registered with the SEC under a registration statement on Form S–3. Subject to the terms of the equity purchase agreement, the Company provided notice (a “Put Notice”) requiring Oasis Capital to purchase a number of shares (the “Put Shares”) of the common stock equal to the lesser of $500 and 200% of the average trading volume of the common stock in the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of such Put Notice. The terms also provided the purchase price for such Put Shares to be the lowest traded price on a principal market for any trading day during the five trading days either following or beginning on the date on which Oasis Capital receives delivery of the Put Shares, multiplied by 95.0%.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company issued 23,900,000 and 67,000,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for $1,575 and $3,731, respectively. Of the proceeds received during the three months ended March 31, 2019, $354 was applied directly as payment against the December 2018 Note.

On April 16, 2019, the Company became ineligible to issue shares under its registration statement on Form S-3 as the aggregate market value of the Company’s common stock held by non-affiliates was below the regulatory threshold of $75,000. In connection with this ineligibility, the equity purchase agreement was terminated.

Equity Purchase Agreement under Form S-1

On June 3, 2019, the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement with Oasis Capital, whereby the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to direct Oasis Capital to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “New Put Shares”) in an amount in each instance up to the lesser of $1,000 or 250% of the average daily trading volume by delivering a notice to Oasis Capital (the “New Put Notice”). The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the New Put Shares shall equal 95% of the one lowest daily volume weighted average price on a principal market during the five trading days immediately following the date Oasis receives the New Put Shares via DWAC associated with the applicable New Put Notice (the “Valuation Period”). The closing of a New Put Notice shall occur within one trading day following the end of the respective Valuation Period, whereby (i) Oasis shall deliver the Investment Amount (as defined below) to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds and (ii) Oasis shall return surplus New Put Shares if the value of the New Put Shares delivered to Oasis causes the Company to exceed the maximum commitment amount. The Company shall not deliver another New Put Notice to Oasis within ten trading days of a prior New Put Notice. The “Investment Amount” means the aggregate Purchase Price for the New Put Shares purchased by Oasis, minus clearing costs payable to Oasis’s broker or to the Company’s transfer agent for the issuance of the New Put Shares. The shares issuable under the equity purchase agreement are registered with the SEC under a registration statement on Form S-1 that was declared effective on June 25, 2019 and are subject to a maximum beneficial ownership by Oasis Capital of 9.99%.

In the event of a liquidation event, any holders of the Series B Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, for each Series B Preferred Shares, the stated value in cash out of the assets of the Company, whether from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its stockholders. The Series B Preferred Shares are not convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock.

On April 12, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the authorization of 200 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.001 and a stated value of $10,000 per share (“Preferred Shares”). The holders of the Preferred Shares have no voting rights, receive no dividends, and are entitled to a liquidation preference equal to the stated value. At any time prior to the one-year anniversary from the issuance date, the Company may redeem the Preferred Shares at 1.4 times the stated value, following which the Company may redeem the Preferred Shares at 1.2 times the stated value.

Each Preferred Share is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock in an amount equal to the greater of: (a) 200,000 shares of common stock or (b) the amount derived by dividing the stated value by the product of 0.7 times the market price of the Company’s common stock, defined as the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock during the ten day period preceding the conversion date. The holder may not convert any Preferred Shares if the total amount of shares held, together with holdings of its affiliates, following a conversion exceeds 9.99% of the Company’s common stock. The Company has accounted for the beneficial conversion feature of the Preferred Shares, convertible at 0.7 times the market price of the Company’s common stock, as a deemed dividend of $859, measured as the difference between the conversion price of the Preferred Shares and the fair value of the underlying common stock.

The common shares issued upon conversion have been registered under the Company’s then-effective registration statement on Form S-3. On April 12, 2019, the Company sold 190 Preferred Shares for $1,890, net of issuance costs. During April, May and June 2019, holders of the preferred shares converted 50 of their Preferred Shares into 14,077,092 shares of common stock. Given the right of redemption is solely at the option of the Company, the Preferred Shares are not considered mandatorily redeemable, and as such are classified in shareholders’ equity on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Bitcoin Mining Agreements

On May 20, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with a third-party consultant whereby the consultant would advise and consult with the Company on certain business and financial matters relating to crypto-currency mining. The Company engaged the consultant to: (1) assist in locating at least 5 acres of real property in Georgia within close proximity to a fully operational electric substation with a minimum of 15 MW of available capacity, subject to approval by the power company, (2) negotiate a power rate between the Company and a power company, (3) assist in the identification, purchase, and delivery of transformers required to serve the containerized mining systems, (4) successfully install the aforementioned transformers, and (5) obtain an electrical permit and successfully inspect of all electrical infrastructure between the container and substation. The consulting agreement was valued at $400, payable upon successful achievement of defined milestones. As of June 30, 2019, $200 in milestone achievement was earned and has been recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. The remaining $200 of unearned milestones is recorded as a prepaid expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and is being held in escrow until achievement of such milestones.

On October 23, 2018, the Company entered into a hosting agreement (“Colorado Hosting Agreement”) with a hosting facility in Colorado, whereby the service provider will provide a facility to host Bitcoin computing servers. The Colorado Hosting Agreement has been amended several times and currently provides for the hosting of 1,260 miners, a reduction of a security deposit from $204 to $85 and a termination date of December 3, 2020. Because the price of Bitcoin steadily decreased in 2018 and throughout the first quarter 2019, the Company decided it was not economically responsible to commence mining under this hosting arrangement until May 2019 when Bitcoin mining economics started to improve. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized revenue of $47 under this agreement.

On May 10, 2019, the Company, entered into a hosting agreement (“Ohio Hosting Agreement”) relating to the generation of Bitcoin mining revenues at a facility located in Coshocton, Ohio (the “Facility”) for a term that is the earlier of (i) two years, or (ii) when the parties determine that the Bitcoin mining business at the Facility is uneconomical.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies, continued

Under the terms of the Ohio Hosting Agreement, the Company agreed to provide the necessary hardware to conduct Bitcoin mining at the Facility. In addition, the Company is required to deliver a security deposit in the amount of $240 to the service provider of the facility (the “Security Deposit”). The service provider agreed, among other things, to provide necessary hosting capacity, equipment, infrastructure and electricity to operate the mining hardware at the Facility. A third-party operator agreed, among other things, to and maintain the Facility in accordance with prudent industry standards and to maintain the hardware.

The service provider is required to disburse on a monthly basis: (i) the total electricity costs to the utility provider; (ii) 10% of Gross Profits (as defined in the Ohio Hosting Agreement) to the operator; (iii) the Net Profits (as defined in the Ohio Hosting Agreement) such that 10% of all Gross Profits (as defined in the Ohio Hosting Agreement) shall be paid to the Company, 40% of all Gross Profits shall be paid to service provider, and 40% of all Gross Profits will be paid into the Security Deposit account until such time as the Security Deposit is paid in full; and (iv) subsequent to the satisfaction of the Security Deposit, Net Profits equally between the Company and the service provider.

Legal

In September 2018 and October 2018, various shareholders of the Company filed putative class action lawsuits against the Company, its Chief Executive Officer and certain of its individual officers and shareholders, alleging violations of federal securities laws and seeking damages (the “2018 Securities Class Actions”). The 2018 Securities Class Actions followed and referenced the allegations made against the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and others in the SEC Action. The first putative class action lawsuit was filed on September 28, 2018, in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, and alleges that the named defendants engaged in a pump-and-dump scheme to artificially inflate the price of the Company’s stock, and that, as a result, defendants’ statements about the Company’s business and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at relevant times. The second putative class action was filed on October 9, 2018, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and makes similar allegations. On May 28, 2019, the parties to the 2018 Securities Class Actions entered into a Binding Settlement Term Sheet setting forth the essential terms of a settlement agreement of these actions. The terms provide for the payment of a cash sum to the plaintiff class and an agreement to assign certain potential cash recoveries to the class, together with dismissal of the action with prejudice and the exchange of releases. The settlement is subject to all parties’ agreement to final settlement documentation which all parties have agreed to negotiate in good faith, and to court approval.

On September 7, 2018, the SEC commenced a legal action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “SEC Action”) which asserts civil charges against multiple individuals and entities who are alleged to have violated the securities laws by engaging in pump-and-dump schemes in connection with certain microcap stocks and three unidentified companies. The Company is one of the three unidentified companies but is not named as a defendant. However, the SEC named as defendants Robert Ladd, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, as well as certain individuals alleged to have participated in the schemes while they were shareholders of the Company, among others. The SEC filed an amended complaint in the SEC Action on March 8, 2019. The Company, through its counsel, is monitoring the progress of the SEC Action.

On May 29, 2019, the SEC served a third-party subpoena on the Company seeking the production of documents in the SEC Action, to which the Company is responding in due course.

Note 10. Employee Benefit Plans

The Company maintains defined contribution benefit plans under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code covering substantially all qualified employees of the Company (the “401(k) Plan”). Under the 401(k) Plan, the Company may make discretionary contributions of up to 100% of employee contributions. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company made contributions to the 401(k) Plan of $9 and $18, respectively.

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, and its wholly–owned subsidiary MGT Sweden AB. Our corporate office is located in Durham, North Carolina.

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

Our agreements with third-party hosting facilities allow for reduced commitments and provide for flexibility to deploy miners at the new Georgia location upon its readiness. MGT is now mining with 1,260 Bitmain S9 miners in Colorado Springs, representing its entire commitment in this location. In Coshocton, Ohio, MGT is now operating approximately 1,000 S9 miners, including miners in the first Pod5ive container delivered in late July. We are contractually committed to a total of 1,800 miners in Ohio, with full deployment dependent upon the speed of the facility buildout by our third-party partner.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

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

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

Revenue recognition

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.

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, 2019 and 2018

Revenues

Our revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by $339, or 83%, to $70 as compared to $409 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Our revenue is derived from cryptocurrency mining. The decrease in revenues is a result of our decision to not operate the majority of our miners due to the unfavorable economics of decreased price of Bitcoin and increased difficulty.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by $4,705, or 69%, to $2,092 as compared to $6,797 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $1,209, the absence of the Sweden restructuring charge in 2018 of $2,499, and a decrease of $997 in cost of sales from cryptocurrency mining operations.

The decrease in general and administrative expenses of $1,209 or 37% to $2,074 as compared to $3,283 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, was primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation of $951, a decrease in payroll and related expenses of $161, a decrease in administrative and travel costs to operate the Sweden facility of $483, offset by an increase in legal and professional fees of $268 and an increase in consulting fees of $226 primarily related to Company’s facility in Georgia.

Other Income and Expense

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, non–operating expenses consisted of interest income of $3, accretion of debt discount of $2,731 and a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1,131. During the comparable period ended June 30, 2018, non–operating expenses consisted of accretion of debt discount of $117.

Six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018

Revenues

Our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by $1,267, or 93%, to $98 as compared to $1,365 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Our revenue is derived from cryptocurrency mining. The decrease in revenues is a result of our decision to not operate the majority of our miners due to the unfavorable economics of decreased price of Bitcoin and increased difficulty.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by $7,897, or 66%, to $4,092 as compared to $11,989 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $3,504, the absence of the Sweden restructuring charge in 2018 of $2,499, and a decrease of $1,792 in cost of sales from cryptocurrency mining operations.

The decrease in general and administrative expenses of $3,504, or 47% to $3,988 as compared to $7,492 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, was primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation of $2,230 and a decrease in payroll and related expenses of $587, a decrease in administrative and travel costs to operate the Sweden facility of $753, a decrease in marketing and research and development costs of $101, offset by an increase in legal and professional fees of $324.

Other Income and Expense

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, non–operating expenses consisted of accretion of debt discount of $3,822, gain on sale of property and equipment of $82 and a gain on extinguishment of debt of $2,406. During the comparable period ended June 30, 2018, non–operating expenses consisted of accretion of debt discount of $117, warrant modification expense of $139, loss on sale of business unit of $127, and a loss on sale of property and equipment of $47.

Liquidity and capital resources

Sources of Liquidity

We have historically financed our business through the sale of debt and equity instruments. We have incurred significant operating losses since inception with an accumulated deficit of $411,003 as of June 30, 2019, and continue to generate losses from operations. At June 30, 2019, our cash and cash equivalents were $3,059 and our working capital was $2,569. As of June 30, 2019, we had notes payable outstanding with a face value of $1,884.

The price of Bitcoin is volatile, and fluctuations are expected. 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 ended June 30, 2019, as reported by Blockchain.info, were approximately $3 and $12 respectively.

The Company’s primary source of operating funds has been through debt and equity financing.

Equity Purchase Agreements

On August 30, 2018, and further amended on December 3, 2018, the Company and Oasis Capital, LLC (“Oasis Capital”) entered into an equity purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to Oasis Capital from time to time 100,650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, registered with the SEC under a registration statement on a Form S–3, for gross proceeds of $6,491. On April 16, 2019, the Company’s registration statement on Form S–3 lost its effectiveness as the aggregate market value of the Company’s common stock held by non-affiliates was below the regulatory threshold of $75,000.

On June 4, 2019, the Company and Oasis Capital entered into a new equity purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell from time to time to Oasis Capital up 76,558,643 shares of the Company’s common stock that are registered with the SEC under a registration statement on Form S-1 that went effective on June 25, 2019. No shares were issued or sold under this registration statement during the three months ended June 30, 2019. Subsequent to June 30, 2019, 30,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued and sold for gross proceeds of $1,291.

Sale of Preferred Stock

On April 12, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the authorization of 200 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.001 and a stated value of $10,000 per share (“Preferred Shares”). The holders of the Preferred Shares are not entitled to vote their shares or receive dividends. At any time prior to the one-year anniversary from the issuance date, the Company may redeem the Preferred Shares at 1.4 times the Stated Value, following which the Company may redeem the Preferred Shares at 1.2 times the Stated Value.

Each Preferred Share is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock in an amount equal to the greater of: (a) 200,000 shares of common stock or (b) the amount derived by dividing the Stated Value by the product of 0.7 times the market price of the Company’s common stock, defined as the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock during the ten day period preceding the conversion date. The holder may not convert any Preferred Shares if the total amount of shares, together with holdings of its affiliates, following a conversion shall exceed 9.99% of the Company’s common stock. The common shares issued upon conversion have been registered under the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3. On April 12, 2019, the Company sold 190 Preferred Shares for $1,890.

Sale of Common Stock

On April 12, 2019, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with an accredited investor whereby it sold 17,500,000 shares of its common stock for $525 pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3. The holder of these shares is also the holder of the June 2018 Note and an affiliate of the holder of 150 shares of the Preferred Shares.

Property & Equipment Acquisitions

In connection with management’s plans to consolidate its activities in Company-owned and managed facilities, the Company acquired 6 acres of land in Lafayette, Georgia in May 2019 for $57, acquired electrical transformers of $177 in June and July 2019, and in July 2019 entered into an agreement to purchase 1,100 Antminer- S-17 Bitcoin miners for $2,768, of which $1,384 was paid as a deposit and the remaining balance will be paid upon delivery expected to be in October 2019. The Company will incur additional costs to complete its owned and managed facility and anticipates the funding for such costs to be provided from cash on hand and proceeds from its equity purchase agreement.

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, 2019. 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, 2019 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, 2019 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 failed to timely discover an error in the calculation of an extinguishment of debt.

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, 2019, the Company developed a plan to remediate its material weaknesses and to design an effective internal control environment. The Company anticipates having effective disclosure controls and procedures by December 31, 2019.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal proceedings

On September 2018 and October 2018, various shareholders of the Company filed putative class action lawsuits against the Company, its Chief Executive Officer and certain of its individual officers and shareholders, alleging violations of federal securities laws and seeking damages (the “2018 Securities Class Actions”). The 2018 Securities Class Actions followed and referenced the allegations made against the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and others in the SEC Action. The first putative class action lawsuit was filed on September 28, 2018, in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, and alleges that the named defendants engaged in a pump-and-dump scheme to artificially inflate the price of the Company’s stock, and that, as a result, defendants’ statements about the Company’s business and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at relevant times. The second putative class action was filed on October 9, 2018, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and makes similar allegations. On May 28, 2019, the parties to the 2018 Securities Class Actions entered into a Binding Settlement Term Sheet setting forth the essential terms of a settlement agreement of these actions. The terms provide for the payment of a cash sum to the plaintiff class and an agreement to assign certain potential cash recoveries to the class, together with dismissal of the action with prejudice and the exchange of releases. The settlement is subject to all parties’ agreement to final settlement documentation which all parties have agreed to negotiate in good faith, and to court approval.

On May 29, 2019, the SEC served a third-party subpoena on the Company seeking the production of documents in the SEC Action, to which the Company is responding in due course.
