NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10–K, including the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations” in Item 7, contains forward–looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if
they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause the results of MGT Capital Investments, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the
“Company”) to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward–looking statements. The words “anticipates,” “believes,”
“estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “projects,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward–looking
statements, although not all forward–looking statements contain these identifying words. All statements other than statements of historical fact
are statements that could be deemed forward–looking statements, including any projections of revenue, gross margin, expenses, earnings or
losses from operations, our ability to enforce and monetize our patents, synergies or other financial items; any statements of the plans,
strategies and objectives of management for future operations, the execution of restructuring plans; any statements concerning the likelihood of
success of our patent enforcement litigation; any statement concerning developments, any statements regarding future economic conditions or
performance; any statements of expectation or belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. The risks,
uncertainties and assumptions referred to above include the performance of contracts by partners; employee management issues; the difficulty
of aligning expense levels with revenue changes; and other risks that are described herein, including but not limited to the specific risks areas
discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 7 of this report, and that are
otherwise described from time to time in the Company’s periodic disclosure statements and for reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The Company assumes no obligation and does not intend to update these forward–looking statements.
Item 1. Business
PART I
MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (“MGT,” “the Company,” “we,” “us”) is a Delaware corporation, incorporated in 2000. The
Company was originally incorporated in Utah in 1977. MGT is comprised of the parent company, majority–owned subsidiary MGT Gaming,
Inc. (“MGT Gaming”) and wholly–owned subsidiaries Medicsight, Inc. (“Medicsight”), MGT Studios, Inc. (f/k/a MGT Capital Solutions,
Inc.) (“MGT Studios”) including its wholly–owned subsidiary Avcom, Inc. and its majority owned subsidiary M2P Americas, Inc., and
MGT Sports, Inc. (“MGT Sports”) including its majority owned subsidiary FanTD LLC, (“FanTD”). Our Corporate office is located in
Harrison, New York.
MGT and its subsidiaries are engaged in the business of acquiring, developing and monetizing assets in the online and mobile
gaming space, as well as the casino industry.
MGT Gaming owns U.S. Patents 7,892,088 and 8,550,554 (the “‘088 and ‘554 patents,” respectively), both entitled "Gaming
Device Having a Second Separate Bonusing Event” and both relating to casino gaming systems in which a second game played on an
interactive sign is triggered once specific events occur in a first game. On November 2, 2012, MGT Gaming filed a lawsuit (No. 3:12–cv–
741) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi alleging patent infringement. The lawsuit alleges the
defendants Caesars Entertainment Corporation (NASDAQ GS: CZR), MGM Resorts International, Inc. (NYSE: MGM), WMS Gaming, Inc.
– a subsidiary of WMS Industries, Inc. (NYSE: WMS), Penn National Gaming, Inc. (NASDAQ GS: PENN), Scientific Games Corporation
(NASDAQ: SGMS), and Aruze Gaming America, Inc. either manufacture, sell or lease gaming systems in violation of MGT Gaming's patent
rights, or operate casinos that offer gaming systems in violation of MGT Gaming's ‘088 patent. An amended version of the complaint added
the '554 patent, which is a continuation of the ‘088 patent. The allegedly infringing products manufactured, distributed, used, sold and/or
offered for sale by defendants include at least those identified under the trade names: "Pirate Battle," "Battleship," "Clue, "Amazon Fishing,"
“Star Trek Battle Stations," "Castle King," "Monopoly Bigger Event," and "Paradise Fishing."
On October 23, 2013 the U.S. District Court severed the originally filed action into three separate actions: MGT Gaming, Inc. v.
WMS Gaming, Inc. and Caesars Entertainment Corporation (No. 3:13–cv–691, MGT Gaming, Inc. v WMS Gaming Inc. and MGM Resorts
International, Inc. (No. 3:13–cv–692), and MGT Gaming, Inc. v Aruze Gaming America, Inc. and Penn National Gaming Inc. (No. 3:13–cv–
693). On November 4, 2013 the District Court consolidated the three severed cases for discovery purposes. The Defendants in all three
actions filed counterclaims denying infringement and asserting invalidity of both patents–in–suit. MGT Gaming filed appropriate responses to
those counterclaims, reasserting the validity and infringement of the ‘088 and ‘554 patents
On November 4, 2013, Aruze also voluntarily dismissed its separate action in Nevada which had sought a declaratory judgment that
Aruze does not infringe the '088 Patent and/or that the '088 Patent is invalid or unenforceable.
On November 4, 2013, WMS filed a Petition for Inter Parties Review ("IPR") with the United States Patent and Trademark Office
("PTO"), challenging the patent–in–suit and, on November 7, 2013, filed motions to stay litigation in both WMS actions during the IPR
proceedings. Those motions were denied by the District Court on December 13, 2013. MGT Gaming’s Preliminary Response was due and
filed on February 19, 2014.
On November 21, 2013, WMS filed a Petition for a Writ of Mandamus with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to
reverse the decision of the district court in refusing to transfer venue to the Northern District of Illinois. The mandamus proceedings have been
fully briefed by all parties and await decision by the appellate court.
On January 27, 2014, the U.S. District Court issued a Docket Order setting a Markman Hearing (also known as a claims
construction hearing) for September 25, 2014 in Jackson, Mississippi before the Honorable District Judge Carlton W. Reeves for all three
severed cases.

Medicsight was the owner of intellectual property relating to a medical imaging software product. The Company also has developed
an automated carbon dioxide insufflation device and receives royalties on a per–unit basis from an international manufacturer. On June 30,
2013, the Company completed the sale of Medicsight’s global patent portfolio to Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. for gross proceeds of $1.5
million.
Strategy
MGT and its subsidiaries are engaged in the business of acquiring, developing and monetizing assets in the online and mobile
gaming space, as well as the casino industry. The Company’s acquisition strategy is designed to obtain control of assets with a focus on risk
mitigation coupled with large potential upside. We plan to build our portfolio by seeking out large social and real money gaming opportunities
via extensive research and analysis. Next, we will attempt to secure controlling interests for modest cash and/or stock outlays. MGT then
budgets and funds operating costs to develop business operations and tries to motivate sellers with equity upside. While the ultimate objective
is to operate businesses for free cash flow, there may be opportunities where we sell or otherwise monetize certain assets.
There can be no assurance that any acquisitions will occur at all, or that any such acquisitions will be accretive to earnings, book
value and other financial metrics, or that any such acquisitions will generate positive returns for Company shareholders. Furthermore, it is
contemplated that any acquisitions may require the Company to raise capital; such capital may not be available on terms acceptable to the
Company, if at all.
Intellectual property
MGT Gaming owns two U. S. patents covering certain features of casino slot machines. Both patents are being asserted against
alleged infringers in various actions in federal court in Mississippi. We have elected to reduce our financial exposure by entering into a
contingency arrangement with a nationally recognized law firm; this arrangement also reduces the potential recovery via legal judgments or
settlements. While the Company is optimistic with respect to prevailing in court and the potential damages, the outcome of our patent
enforcement actions cannot be predicted with any certainty nor can the timetable.
In 2013, MGT sold its portfolio of medical patents to Samsung for $1.5 million.
Competition
MGT encounters intense competition in all its businesses, in many cases from larger companies with greater financial resources. For
example, Zynga, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZNGA) and Caesars Acquisition Company (NASDAQ: CACQ) both focus on social and real money
online gaming. With respect to our patent infringement activities, the named defendants in our lawsuits include much larger companies such
Scientific Games Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS).
Employees
Currently, the Company and its subsidiaries have 15 full–time employees. None of our employees is represented by a union and we
believe our relationships with our employees are good.

Item 1A. Risk factors
Discussion of our business and operations included in this Annual Report on Form 10–K should be read together with the risk
factors set forth below. They describe various risks and uncertainties to which we are or may become subject. These risks and uncertainties,
together with other factors described elsewhere in this report, have the potential to affect our business, financial condition, results of
operations, cash flows, strategies or prospects in a material and adverse manner. New risks may emerge at any time, and we cannot predict
those risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our financial performance. Each of the risks described below could adversely impact
the value of our securities. These statements, like all statements in this report, speak only as of the date of this report (unless another date is
indicated), and we undertake no obligation to update or revise the statements in light of future developments.
We cannot assure you that we will be successful in commercializing any of the Company’s products or if any of our products are
commercialized, that they will be profitable for the Company.
The Company has only had a limited operating history and generates limited revenue from operations upon which an evaluation of
our prospects can be made. The Company’s prospects must be considered keeping in mind the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently
encountered in the establishment of a new business in a constantly changing industry. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to achieve profitable operations in the foreseeable future, if at all.
The Company has identified a number of specific risk areas that may affect our operations and results in the future:
Company specific risks
Our acquisition activities may disrupt our ongoing business, may involve increased expenses and may present risks not contemplated
at the time of the transactions.
We have acquired, and may continue to acquire, companies, products and technologies that complement our strategic direction.
Acquisitions involve significant risks and uncertainties, including:
·
·
·
·
·
·
diversion of management time and a shift of focus from operating the businesses to issues related to integration and
administration;
inability to successfully integrate the acquired technology and operations into our business and maintain uniform standards,
controls, policies and procedures;
challenges retaining the key employees, customers and other business partners of the acquired business; inability to realize
synergies expected to result from an acquisition;
an impairment of acquired goodwill and other intangible assets in future periods would result in a charge to earnings in the period
in which the write–down occurs; the internal control environment of an acquired entity may not be consistent with our standards
and may require significant time and resources to improve;
in the case of foreign acquisitions, the need to integrate operations across different cultures and languages and to address the
particular economic, currency, political and regulatory risks associated with specific countries;
and liability for activities of the acquired companies before the acquisition, including violations of laws, rules and regulations,
commercial disputes, tax liabilities and other known and unknown liabilities.
Because acquisitions are inherently risky, our transactions may not be successful and may, in some cases, harm our operating results
or financial condition.
The mobile game application business is still developing, and our efforts to develop mobile games may prove unsuccessful, or even if
successful, it may take more time than we anticipate to achieve significant revenues from this activity because, among other reasons:
· we may have difficulty optimizing the monetization of our mobile games due to our relatively limited experience creating games
that include micro–transaction capabilities, advertising and offers;
· we intend to continue to develop substantially all of our games based upon our own intellectual property, rather than well–known
licensed brands, and we may encounter difficulties in generating sufficient consumer interest in and downloads of our games,
particularly since we have had relatively limited success generating significant revenues from games based on our own intellectual
property;
· man well–funded public and private companies have released, or plan to release, mobile games, and this competition will make it
more difficult for us to differentiate our games and derive significant revenues from them;
5
· mobile games have a relatively limited history, and it is unclear how popular this style of game will become or remain or its
revenue potential;
·
·
·
·
our mobile strategy assumes that a large number of players will download our games because they are free and that we will
subsequently be able to effectively monetize the games; however, players may not widely download our games for a variety of
reasons, including poor consumer reviews or other negative publicity, ineffective or insufficient marketing efforts, lack of
sufficient community features, lack of prominent storefront featuring and the relatively large file size of some of our games—our
thick–client games often utilize a significant amount of the available memory on a user’s device, and due to the inherent limitations
of the smartphone platforms and telecommunications networks, which only allow applications that are less than 50 megabytes to
be downloaded over a carrier’s wireless network, players must download one of our thick–client games either via a wireless
Internet (Wi–Fi) connection or initially to their computer and then side–loaded to their device;
even if our games are widely downloaded, we may fail to retain users or optimize the monetization of these games for a variety of
reasons, including poor game design or quality, lack of community features, gameplay issues such as game unavailability, long
load times or an unexpected termination of the game due to data server or other technical issues, or our failure to effectively
respond and adapt to changing user preferences through game updates;
the billing and provisioning capabilities of some smartphones and tablets are currently not optimized to enable users to purchase
games or make in–app purchases, which make it difficult for users of these smartphones and tablets to purchase our games or
make in–app purchases and could reduce our addressable market, at least in the short term; and
the Federal Trade Commission has indicated that it intends to review issues related to in–app purchases, particularly with respect
to games that are marketed primarily to minors, and the commission might issue rules significantly restricting or even prohibiting
in–app purchases or name us as a defendant in a future class–action lawsuit.
If we do not achieve a sufficient return on our investment with respect to this business model, it will negatively affect our operating
results and may require us to make change to our business strategy.
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, and many of our competitors have significantly greater resources than we
do.
Developing, distributing and selling mobile games is a highly competitive business, characterized by frequent product introductions
and rapidly emerging new platforms, technologies and storefronts. For end users, we compete primarily on the basis of game quality, brand
and customer reviews. We compete for promotional and storefront placement based on these factors, as well as our relationship with the digital
storefront owner, historical performance, perception of sales potential and relationships with licensors of brands and other intellectual
property. For content and brand licensors, we compete based on royalty and other economic terms, perceptions of development quality,
porting abilities, speed of execution, distribution breadth and relationships with storefront owners or carriers. We also compete for experienced
and talented employees.
We compete with a continually increasing number of companies, including Zynga, King Digital, Soul & Vibe Interactive, DeNA,
Gree, Nexon, and Glu. In addition, given the open nature of the development and distribution for smartphones and tablets, we also compete or
will compete with a vast number of small companies and individuals who are able to create and launch games and other content for these
devices using relatively limited resources and with relatively limited start–up time or expertise.
Some of our competitors and our potential competitors have one or more advantages over us, either globally or in particular
geographic markets, which include:
·
·
·
·
·
·
significantly greater financial resources;
greater experience with the mobile games business model and more effective game monetization;
stronger brand and consumer recognition regionally or worldwide;
greater experience integrating community features into their games and increasing the revenues derived from their users;
the capacity to leverage their marketing expenditures across a broader portfolio of mobile and non–mobile products;
larger installed customer bases from related platforms, such as console gaming or social networking websites, to which they can
market and sell mobile games;
· more substantial intellectual property of their own from which they can develop games without having to pay royalties;
·
lower labor and development costs and better overall economies of scale;
6
·
·
greater platform–specific focus, experience and expertise; and
broader global distribution and presence.
If we are unable to compete effectively or we are not as successful as our competitors in our target markets, our sales could decline,
our margins could decline and we could lose market share, any of which would materially harm our business, operating results and financial
condition.
Consumer tastes are continually changing and are often unpredictable, and we compete for consumer discretionary spending against
other forms of entertainment; if we fail to develop and publish new mobile games that achieve market acceptance, our sales would suffer.
Our mobile game business depends on developing and publishing mobile games that consumers will want to download and spend
time and money playing. We must continue to invest significant resources in research and development, analytics and marketing to introduce
new games and continue to update our successful mobile games, and we often must make decisions about these matters well in advance of
product release to timely implement them. Our success depends, in part, on unpredictable and volatile factors beyond our control, including
consumer preferences, competing games, new mobile platforms and the availability of other entertainment activities. If our games and related
applications do not meet consumer expectations, or they are not brought to market in a timely and effective manner, our business, operating
results and financial condition would be harmed. Even if our games are successfully introduced and initially adopted, a failure to continue to
update them with compelling content or a subsequent shift in the entertainment preferences of consumers could cause a decline in our games’
popularity that could materially reduce our revenues and harm our business, operating results and financial condition. Furthermore, we
compete for the discretionary spending of consumers, who face a vast array of entertainment choices, including games played on personal
computers and consoles, television, movies, sports and the Internet. If we are unable to sustain sufficient interest in our games compared to
other forms of entertainment, our business and financial results would be seriously harmed.
If we do not successfully establish and maintain awareness of our brand and games, if we incur excessive expenses promoting and
maintaining our brand or our games or if our games contains defects or objectionable content, our operating results and financial condition
could be harmed.
We believe that establishing and maintaining our brand is critical to establishing a direct relationship with end users who purchase
our products from direct–to–consumer channels and to maintaining our existing relationships with distributors and content licensors, as well
as potentially developing new such relationships. Increasing awareness of our brand and recognition of our games is particularly important in
connection with our strategic focus of developing games based on our own intellectual property. Our ability to promote our brand and increase
recognition of our games depends on our ability to develop high–quality, engaging games. If consumers, digital storefront owners and
branded content owners do not perceive our existing games as high–quality or if we introduce new games that are not favorably received by
them, then we may not succeed in building brand recognition and brand loyalty in the marketplace. In addition, globalizing and extending our
brand and recognition of our games is costly and involves extensive management time to execute successfully, particularly as we expand our
efforts to increase awareness of our brand and games among international consumers. Although we have significantly increased our sales and
marketing expenditures in connection with the launch of our games, these efforts may not succeed in increasing awareness of our brand or the
new games. If we fail to increase and maintain brand awareness and consumer recognition of our games, our potential revenues could be
limited, our costs could increase and our business, operating results and financial condition could suffer.
If we fail to deliver our games at the same time as new mobile devices are commercially introduced, our sales may suffer.
Our business depends, in part, on the commercial introduction of new mobile devices with enhanced features, including larger,
higher resolution color screens, improved audio quality, and greater processing power, memory, battery life and storage. For example, the
introduction of new and more powerful versions of Apple’s iPhone and iPad and devices based on Google’s Android operating system, have
helped drive the growth of the mobile games market. In addition, consumers generally purchase the majority of content, such as our games, for
a new device within a few months of purchasing it. We do not control the timing of these device launches. Some manufacturers give us access
to their mobile devices prior to commercial release. If one or more major manufacturers were to stop providing us access to new device models
prior to commercial release, we might be unable to introduce games that are compatible with the new device when the device is first
commercially released, and we might be unable to make compatible games for a substantial period following the device release. If we do not
adequately build into our title plan the demand for games for a particular mobile device or experience game launch delays, we miss the
opportunity to sell games when new mobile devices are shipped or our end users upgrade to a new mobile device, our revenues would likely
decline and our business, operating results and financial condition would likely suffer.
We will need additional capital to continue our operation.
We may need to obtain additional financing for advertising, promotion and acquisition of additional products. The Company is
constantly looking for new sources of revenue that will help fund our business. There can be no assurances that this will be achieved.
If we successfully raise additional funds through the issuance of debt, we will be required to service that debt and are likely to
become subject to restrictive covenants and other restrictions contained in the instruments governing that debt, which may limit our operational
flexibility. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, then those securities may have rights, preferences or
privileges senior to the rights of holders of our common stock, and holders of our common stock will experience dilution.
7
We cannot be certain that such additional debt or equity financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all.
If we cannot raise funds in a timely manner, or on acceptable terms, we may not be able to promote our brand, develop or enhance our
products and services, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unexpected requirements, and we may be
required to reduce or limit operations.
The effect of the proposed "Unlawful Internet Gambling Funding Prohibition Act."
During the 2003 fiscal year, the House Judiciary Committee of the US Government approved HR21 "Unlawful Internet Gambling
Funding Prohibition Act". This bill creates a new crime of accepting financial instruments, such as credit cards or electronic fund transfers, for
debts incurred in illegal internet gambling. The bill enables state and federal Attorneys General to request that injunctions be issued to any
party, such as financial institutions and internet service providers, to assist in the prevention or restraint of illegal internet gambling. This bill
still needs to be ratified by the Senate before it becomes passed as law. We may be affected by this bill and therefore the Company's revenue
stream may be affected.
Compliance with state rules and regulations.
Various states have laws restricting gambling. The Company believes that we are in compliance with the rules and regulations in the
states we operate. However, there can be no assurance that the state officials will have the same view. In the event that we are accused of
violating such gambling laws and restrictions, our gaming business may be disallowed or prohibited in these states. Furthermore, there can be
no assurance that no new rules and regulations restricting our business will be adopted in the states we operate. If such restrictive rules and
regulations are adopted, we may incur additional costs in complying with the rules and regulations or we may have to cease operation in these
state(s).
We have capacity constraints and system development risks that could damage our customer relations or inhibit our possible growth,
and we may need to expand our management systems and controls quickly, which may increase our cost of operations.
Our success and our ability to provide high quality customer service largely depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of
our computer and communications systems and the computers and communication systems of our third party vendors in order to
accommodate any significant numbers or increases in the numbers of consumers using our service. Our success also depends upon our and
our vendors' abilities to rapidly expand transaction–processing systems and network infrastructure without any systems interruptions in order
to accommodate any significant increases in use of our service.
We and our service providers may experience periodic systems interruptions and infrastructure failures, which we believe will cause
customer dissatisfaction and may adversely affect our results of operations. Limitations of technology infrastructure may prevent us from
maximizing our business opportunities.
We cannot assure you that our and our vendors' data repositories, financial systems and other technology resources will be secure
from security breaches or sabotage, especially as technology changes and becomes more sophisticated. In addition, many of our and our
vendors' software systems are custom–developed and we and our vendors rely on employees and certain third–party contractors to develop
and maintain these systems. If certain of these employees or contractors become unavailable, we and our vendors may experience difficulty in
improving and maintaining these systems. Furthermore, we expect that we and our vendors may continue to be required to manage multiple
relationships with various software and equipment vendors whose technologies may not be compatible, as well as relationships with other
third parties to maintain and enhance their technology infrastructures. Failure to achieve or maintain high capacity data transmission and
security without system downtime and to achieve improvements in their transaction processing systems and network infrastructure could have
a materially adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Increased security risks of online commerce may deter future use of our website, which may adversely affect our ability to generate
revenue.
Concerns over the security of transactions conducted on the internet and the privacy of consumers may also inhibit the growth of the
internet and other online services generally, and online commerce in particular. Failure to prevent security breaches could significantly harm
our business and results of operations. We cannot be certain that advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of
cryptography, or other developments will not result in a compromise or breach of the algorithms used to protect our transaction data. Anyone
who is able to circumvent our or our vendors' security measures could misappropriate proprietary information, cause interruptions in our
operations or damage our brand and reputation. We may be required to incur significant costs to protect against security breaches or to alleviate
problems caused by breaches. Any well–publicized compromise of security could deter people from using the internet to conduct transactions
that involve transmitting confidential information or downloading sensitive materials, which would have a material adverse effect on our
business.
We face the risk of system failures, which would disrupt our operations.
A disaster could severely damage our business and results of operations because our services could be interrupted for an
indeterminate length of time. Our operations depend upon our ability to maintain and protect our computer systems.

Our systems and operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from fire, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, power loss,
telecommunications failures, break–ins, sabotage and similar events. The occurrence of a natural disaster or unanticipated problems at our
principal business headquarters or at a third–party facility could cause interruptions or delays in our business, loss of data or render us unable
to provide our services. In addition, failure of a third–party facility to provide the data communications capacity required by us, as a result of
human error, natural disaster or other operational disruptions, could cause interruptions in our service. The occurrence of any or all of these
events could adversely affect our reputation, brand and business.
We face risks of claims from third parties for intellectual property infringement that could adversely affect our business.
Our services operate in part by making internet services and content available to our users. This creates the potential for claims to be
made against us, either directly or through contractual indemnification provisions with third parties. These claims might, for example, be made
for defamation, negligence, copyright, trademark or patent infringement, personal injury, invasion of privacy or other legal theories. Any
claims could result in costly litigation and be time consuming to defend, divert management's attention and resources, cause delays in releasing
new or upgrading existing services or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements.
Litigation regarding intellectual property rights is common in the internet and software industries. We expect that internet
technologies and software products and services may be increasingly subject to third–party infringement claims as the number of competitors
in our industry segment grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps. There can be no assurance that our
services do not or will not in the future infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties. Royalty or licensing agreements, if required,
may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. A successful claim of infringement against us and our failure or inability to license the
infringed or similar technology could adversely affect our business.
Our success and ability to compete are substantially dependent upon our technology and data resources, which we intend to protect
through a combination of patent, copyright, trade secret and/or trademark law. We currently have no patents or trademarks issued to date on
our technology and there can be no assurances that we will be successful in securing them when necessary.
We may not be able to protect our internet domain name, which is important to our branding strategy.
Our internet domain name, www.fanthrowdown.com, is an extremely important part of our business. Governmental agencies and
their designees generally regulate the acquisition and maintenance of domain names. The regulation of domain names in the United States and
in foreign countries may be subject to change. Governing bodies may establish additional top–level domains, appoint additional domain name
registrars or modify the requirements for holding domain names. As a result, we may be unable to acquire or maintain relevant domain names
in all countries in which we conduct business. Furthermore, the relationship between regulations governing domain names and laws protecting
trademarks and similar proprietary rights is unclear. Therefore, we may be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that
are similar to, infringe upon or otherwise decrease the value of our trademarks and other proprietary rights.
If we are unable to maintain our popularity with third party search engines then our customer base, and therefore, our revenue will
not continue to grow.
Due to our limited capital we do not run large advertising campaigns. We are, therefore, reliant on third party search engines such as
Google and Yahoo! to provide prospective customers with links to facilitate traffic to our internet domain. We believe that these search engines
are important in order to facilitate broad market acceptance of our service and thus enhance our sales. We continue to look for new methods to
optimize our ranking position with various internet search engines, including the maintenance of reciprocal links with complementary third
party sites.
Our financial position and results of operations will vary depending on a number of factors, most of which are out of our control.
We anticipate that our operating results will vary widely depending on a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control.
These factors are likely to include:
·
·
·
·
·
·
·
demand for our online services by consumers;
costs of attracting consumers to our website, including costs of receiving exposure on third–party websites;
costs related to forming strategic relationships;
loss of strategic relationships;
our ability to significantly increase our distribution channels;
competition from companies offering same or similar products and services and from companies with much deeper financial,
technical, marketing and human resources;
the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to expansion of our operations;
9
·
·
·
costs and delays in introducing new services and improvements to existing services;
changes in the growth rate of internet usage and acceptance by consumers of electronic commerce; and
changes and introduction of new software e.g. pop up blockers.
Because we have a limited operating history, it is difficult to accurately forecast the revenues that will be generated from our current
and proposed future product offerings.
If we are unable to meet the changing needs of our industry, our ability to compete will be adversely affected.
We operate in an intensely competitive industry. To remain competitive, we must be capable of enhancing and improving the
functionality and features of our online services. The internet gaming industry is rapidly changing. If competitors introduce new products and
services embodying new technologies, or if new industry standards and practices emerge, our existing services, technology and systems may
become obsolete. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in responding quickly, cost effectively and adequately to new
developments or that funds will be available to respond at all. Any failure by us to respond effectively would significantly harm our business,
operating results and financial condition.
Our future success will depend on our ability to accomplish the following:
·
·
·
·
license and develop leading technologies useful in our business;
develop and enhance our existing products and services;
develop new services and technologies that address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of prospective consumers; and
respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost–effective and timely basis.
Developing internet services and other proprietary technology entails significant technical and business risks, as well as substantial
costs. We may use new technologies ineffectively, or we may fail to adapt our services, transaction processing systems and network
infrastructure to user requirements or emerging industry standards. If our operations face material delays in introducing new services, products
and enhancements, our users may forego the use of our services and use those of our competitors. These factors could have a material adverse
effect on our financial position and results of operations.
Our business may be subject to government regulation and legal uncertainties that may increase the costs of operating our web
portal, limit our ability to attract users, or interfere with future operations of the Company.
There are currently few laws or regulations directly applicable to access to, or commerce on, the internet. Due to the increasing
popularity and use of the internet, it is possible that laws and regulations may be adopted, covering issues such as user privacy, defamation,
pricing, taxation, content regulation, quality of products and services, and intellectual property ownership and infringement. Such legislation
could expose the Company to substantial liability as well as dampen the growth in use of the internet, decrease the acceptance of the internet as
a communications and commercial medium, or require the Company to incur significant expenses in complying with any new regulations.
The applicability to the internet of existing laws governing issues such as gambling, property ownership, copyright, defamation,
obscenity and personal privacy is uncertain. The Company may be subject to claims that our services violate such laws. Any new legislation or
regulation in the United States or abroad or the application of existing laws and regulations to the internet could damage our business. In
addition, because legislation and other regulations relating to online games vary by jurisdiction, from state to state and from country to country,
it is difficult for us to ensure that our players are accessing our portal from a jurisdiction where it is legal to play our games. We therefore,
cannot ensure that we will not be subject to enforcement actions as a result of this uncertainty and difficulty in controlling access.
In addition, our business may be indirectly affected by our suppliers or customers who may be subject to such legislation. Increased
regulation of the internet may decrease the growth in the use of the internet or hamper the development of internet commerce and online
entertainment, which could decrease the demand for our services, increase our cost of doing business or otherwise have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
New legislation, regulations or court rulings related to enforcing patents could harm our business and operating results.
If Congress, the USPTO or the courts implement new legislation, regulations or rulings that impact the patent enforcement process
or the rights of patent holders, these changes could negatively affect our business model. For example, limitations on the ability to bring patent
enforcement claims, limitations on potential liability for patent infringement, lower evidentiary standards for invalidating patents, increases in
the cost to resolve patent disputes and other similar developments could negatively affect our ability to assert our patent or other intellectual
property rights.
10
In addition, on September 16, 2011, the Leahy–Smith America Invents Act (or the Leahy–Smith Act), was signed into law. The
Leahy–Smith Act includes a number of significant changes to United States patent law. These changes include provisions that affect the way
patent applications will be prosecuted and may also affect patent litigation. The USPTO is currently developing regulations and procedures to
govern administration of the Leahy–Smith Act, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated with the Leahy–Smith Act will
not become effective until one year or 18 months after enactment. Accordingly, it is too early to tell what, if any, impact the Leahy–Smith Act
will have on the operation of our business. However, the Leahy–Smith Act and its implementation could increase the uncertainties and costs
surrounding the prosecution of patent applications and the enforcement or defense of our issued patents, all of which could have a material
adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
Further, and in general, it is impossible to determine the extent of the impact of any new laws, regulations or initiatives that may be
proposed, or whether any of the proposals will become enacted as laws. Compliance with any new or existing laws or regulations could be
difficult and expensive, affect the manner in which we conduct our business and negatively impact our business, prospects, financial condition
and results of operations.
If we are unable to license or otherwise monetize our intellectual property or generate revenue and profit through those assets, there
is a significant risk that our intellectual property monetization strategy will fail.
Effective June 1, 2012, we acquired an interest in the ‘088 Patent, entitled “Gaming Device Having a Second Separate Bonusing
Event” that we plan to license or otherwise monetize. On August 6, 2013, the Company was issued United States Patent number 8,500,554
entitled, "Gaming Device Having a Second Bonusing Event" (the "554 Patent"). The '554 Patent is a continuation of the key patent already
owned by the Company. If our efforts to generate revenue from the ‘088 Patent fail, we will incur significant losses and may be unable to
acquire additional intellectual property assets. If this occurs, our patent monetization strategy will likely fail.
We plan to commence additional legal proceedings against companies in the gaming industry to enforce our intellectual property
rights, and we expect such litigation to be time–consuming, which may adversely affect our financial condition and ability to operate our
business.
To license or otherwise monetize the ‘088 Patent, we have commenced legal proceedings against the owners of gaming devices
pursuant to which we allege that such companies infringed on the Patent. Our viability will be highly dependent on the outcome of this
litigation, and there is a risk that we may be unable to achieve the results that we desire from such litigation, which failure would harm our
overall business. In addition, the potential defendants in the litigation are much larger than us and have substantially greater resources, which
could make our litigation efforts more difficult.
Disputes regarding the assertion of patents and other intellectual property rights are highly complex and technical. Once initiated, we
may be forced to litigate against others to enforce or defend our intellectual property rights or to determine the validity and scope of other
parties’ proprietary rights. The defendants or other third parties involved in potential lawsuits may allege defenses and/or file counterclaims in
an effort to avoid or limit liability and damages for patent infringement. If such defenses or counterclaims are successful, they may preclude
our ability to derive licensing revenue from our patents. A negative outcome of any such litigation, or one or more claims contained within any
such litigation, could materially and adversely impact our business.
While we believe that the ‘088 Patent is infringed upon by certain companies, there is a risk that a court will find the ‘088 Patent
invalid, not infringed or unenforceable and/or that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) will either invalidate the ‘088 Patent
or materially narrow the scope of its claims during the course of a re–examination. In addition, even with a positive trial court verdict, the
‘088 Patent may be invalidated, found not to be infringed or rendered unenforceable on appeal. This risk may occur in litigations we bring. If
this were to occur, it would have a material adverse effect on the viability of the Company and our operations.
We believe that certain gaming companies infringe on the ‘088 Patent, but recognize that obtaining and collecting a judgment against
such infringers may be difficult or impossible. Patent litigation is inherently risky and the outcome is uncertain. Some of the parties that we
believe infringe on the ‘088 Patent are large and well–financed companies with substantially greater resources than us. We believe that these
parties would devote a substantial amount of resources in an attempt to avoid or limit a finding that they are liable for infringing on the ‘088
Patent or, in the event liability is found, to avoid or limit the amount of associated damages.
In addition there is a risk that these parties may file re–examinations or other proceedings with the USPTO or other government
agencies in an attempt to invalidate, narrow the scope or render unenforceable the ‘088 Patent.
At this time, we cannot predict the outcome of such litigation or administrative action, and if we are unsuccessful in our litigation
efforts for any reason, our business would be significantly harmed.
Moreover, in connection with any of our present or future patent enforcement actions, it is possible that a defendant may claim and/or
a court may rule that we have violated statutory authority, regulatory authority, federal rules, local court rules, or governing standards relating
to the substantive or procedural aspects of such enforcement actions. In such event, a court may issue monetary sanctions against us or award
attorneys’ fees and/or expenses to one or more of the defendants, which could be material, and if we are required to pay such monetary
sanctions, attorneys’ fees and/or expenses, such payment could materially harm our operating results and financial position.
11
In addition, it is difficult in general to predict the outcome of patent enforcement litigation at the trial level. There is a higher rate of
appeals in patent enforcement litigation than more standard business litigation. Such appeals are expensive and time–consuming, and the
outcomes of such appeals are sometimes unpredictable, resulting in increased costs and reduced or delayed revenue.
Finally, we believe that the more prevalent patent enforcement actions become, the more difficult it will be for us to license the ‘088
Patent without engaging in litigation. As a result, we may need to increase the number of our patent enforcement actions to cause infringing
companies to license the ‘088 Patent or pay damages for lost royalties. This will adversely affect our operating results due to the high costs of
litigation and the uncertainty of the results.
The protection of our intellectual property may be uncertain and we may face claims of others.
Although we have received patents and have filed patent applications with respect to certain aspects of our technology, we generally
do not rely on patent protection with respect to our products and technologies. Instead, we rely primarily on a combination of trade secret and
copyright law, employee and third party non–disclosure agreements and other protective measures to protect intellectual property rights
pertaining to our products and technologies. Such measures may not provide meaningful protection of our trade secrets, know how or other
intellectual property in the event of any unauthorized use, misappropriation or disclosure. Others may independently develop similar
technologies or duplicate our technologies. In addition, to the extent that we apply for any patents, such applications may not result in issued
patents or, if issued, such patents may not be valid or of value. Third parties could, in the future, assert infringement or misappropriation
claims against us with respect to our current or future products and technologies, or we may need to assert claims of infringement against third
parties. Any infringement or misappropriation claim by us or against us could place significant strain on our financial resources, divert
management’s attention from our business and harm our reputation. The costs of prosecuting or defending an intellectual property claim could
be substantial and could adversely affect our business, even if we are ultimately successful in prosecuting or defending any such claims. If our
products or technologies are found to infringe the rights of a third party, we could be required to pay significant damages or license fees or
cease production, any of which could have material adverse effect on our business. If a claim is brought against us, or we ultimately prove
unsuccessful on the claims on our merits, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations
and future prospects.
Our acquisitions of additional patent assets may be time consuming, complex and costly, which could adversely affect our operating
results.
Acquisitions of patent or other intellectual property assets, which are and will be critical to our business plan, are often time
consuming, complex and costly to consummate. We may utilize many different transaction structures in such acquisitions and the terms of
such acquisition agreements tend to be heavily negotiated. As a result, we expect to incur significant operating expenses and will likely be
required to raise capital during the negotiation process even if the acquisition is ultimately not consummated. Even if we are able to acquire
particular patent assets, there is no guarantee that we will generate sufficient revenue related to those patent assets to offset the acquisition
costs. While we will seek to conduct confirmatory due diligence on the patent assets we are considering for acquisition, we may acquire patent
assets from a seller who does not have proper title to those assets. In those cases, we may be required to spend significant resources to defend
our interest in the patent assets and, if we are not successful, our acquisition may be invalid, in which case we could lose part or all of our
investment in the assets.
We may also identify patent or other intellectual property assets that cost more than we are prepared to spend with our own capital
resources. We may incur significant costs to organize and negotiate a structured acquisition that does not ultimately result in an acquisition of
any patent assets or, if consummated, proves to be unprofitable for us. These higher costs could adversely affect our operating results.
In addition, we may acquire patents and technologies that are in the early stages of adoption in the commercial, industrial and
consumer markets. Demand for some of these technologies will likely be untested and may be subject to fluctuation based upon the rate at
which our licensees will adopt our patents and technologies in their products and services. As a result, there can be no assurance as to whether
technologies we acquire or develop will have value that we can monetize.
In certain acquisitions of patent assets, we may seek to defer payment or finance a portion of the acquisition price. This approach may
put us at a competitive disadvantage and could result in harm to our business.
We have limited capital and may seek to negotiate acquisitions of patent or other intellectual property assets to defer, where possible,
payments or we may seek to finance a portion of the acquisition price. These types of debt financing or deferred payment arrangements may
not be as attractive to sellers of patent assets as it would be to receive the full purchase price for those assets in cash at the closing of the
acquisition. As a result, we may not compete effectively against other companies in the market for acquiring patent assets, many of whom have
greater cash resources than we have. In addition, any failure to satisfy our debt repayment obligations may result in adverse consequences to
our operating results.
Any failure to maintain or protect our patent assets or other intellectual property rights could significantly impair our return on
investment from such assets and harm our brand, our business and our operating results.
Our ability to compete in the intellectual property market largely depends on the superiority, uniqueness and value of our acquired
patent assets and other intellectual property. To protect our proprietary rights, we will rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright
and trade secret laws, confidentiality agreements with our employees and third parties, and protective contractual provisions. No assurances
can be given that any of the measures we undertake to protect and maintain our intellectual property assets will have any measure of success.
12
Following the acquisition of patent assets, we will likely be required to spend significant time and resources to maintain the
effectiveness of those assets by paying maintenance fees and making filings with the USPTO. We may acquire patent assets, including patent
applications, which require us to spend resources to prosecute the applications with the USPTO. Further, there is a material risk that patent
related claims (such as, for example, infringement claims (and/or claims for indemnification resulting therefrom), unenforceability claims, or
invalidity claims) will be asserted or prosecuted against us, and such assertions or prosecutions could materially and adversely affect our
business. Regardless of whether any such claims are valid or can be successfully asserted, defending such claims could cause us to incur
significant costs and could divert resources away from our other activities.
Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, any of the following or similar occurrences may reduce the value of our
intellectual property:
·
·
·
·
our applications for patents, trademarks and copyrights may not be granted and, if granted, may be challenged or invalidated;
issued trademarks, copyrights, or patents may not provide us with any competitive advantages versus potentially infringing
parties;
our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights may not be effective in preventing misappropriation of our technology; or
our efforts may not prevent the development and design by others of products or technologies similar to or competitive with, or
superior to those we acquire and/or prosecute.
Moreover, we may not be able to effectively protect our intellectual property rights in certain foreign countries where we may do
business in the future or from which competitors may operate. If we fail to maintain, defend or prosecute our patent assets properly, the value
of those assets would be reduced or eliminated, and our business would be harmed.
We are a developing company with limited revenues from operations.
We have incurred significant operating losses since inception and generate limited revenues from operations. As a result, we have
generated negative cash flows from operations and have an accumulated deficit of $293,833 as of December 31, 2013. We are operating in a
developing industry based on a new technology and our primary source of funds to date has been through the issuance of securities and
borrowing funds. There can be no assurance that management’s efforts will be successful or that the products we develop and market will be
accepted by consumers. If our products are ultimately unsuccessful in the market, this could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.
We face financial risks as we are a developing company.
We have incurred significant operating losses since inception and have limited revenue from operations. As a result, we have
generated negative cash flows from operations and our cash balances continue to reduce. While we are optimistic and believe appropriate
actions are being taken to mitigate this, there can be no assurance that attempts to reduce cash outflows will be successful and this could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations.
We may fail to attract and retain qualified personnel.
There is intense competition from other companies, research and academic institutions, government entities and other organizations
for qualified personnel in the areas of our activities. If we fail to identify, attract, retain and motivate these highly skilled personnel, we may be
unable to continue our marketing and development activities, and this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
results of operations and future prospects.
If we do not effectively manage changes in our business, these changes could place a significant strain on our management and
operations.
To manage our growth successfully, we must continue to improve and expand our systems and infrastructure in a timely and
efficient manner. Our controls, systems, procedures and resources may not be adequate to support a changing and growing company. If our
management fails to respond effectively to changes and growth in our business, including acquisitions, this could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.
13
General market risks
We may not be able to access credit.
We face the risk that we may not be able to access credit, either from lenders or suppliers. Failure to access credit from any of these
sources could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.
We may not be able to maintain effective internal controls.
If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal accounting controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended
from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an on–going basis that we have effective internal controls over
financial reporting in accordance with Section 404. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could cause us to
face regulatory action and also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, either of which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.
Securities market risks
Our stock price and trading volume may be volatile, which could result in losses for our stockholders.
The equity markets may experience periods of volatility, which could result in highly variable and unpredictable pricing of equity
securities. The market price of our Common Stock could change in ways that may or may not be related to our business, our industry or our
operating performance and financial condition and could negatively affect our share price or result in fluctuations in the price or trading volume
of our Common Stock. We cannot predict the potential impact of these periods of volatility on the price of our Common Stock. The Company
cannot assure you that the market price of our Common Stock will not fluctuate or decline significantly in the future.
If our Common Stock is delisted from the NYSE MKT LLC, the Company would be subject to the risks relating to penny stocks.
If our Common Stock were to be delisted from trading on the NYSE MKT LLC and the trading price of the Common Stock were
below $5.00 per share on the date the Common Stock were delisted, trading in our Common Stock would also be subject to the requirements
of certain rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). These rules require additional
disclosure by broker–dealers in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a "penny stock" and impose various sales practice
requirements on broker–dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors, generally
institutions. These additional requirements may discourage broker–dealers from effecting transactions in securities that are classified as penny
stocks, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of such securities and the ability of purchasers to sell such securities in the
secondary market. A penny stock is defined generally as any non–exchange listed equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per
share, subject to certain exceptions.
If we need additional capital to fund our growing operations, we may not be able to obtain sufficient capital and may be forced to limit
the scope of our operations
As we implement our growth strategies, we may experience increased capital needs. We may not, however, have sufficient capital to
fund our future operations without additional capital investments. If adequate additional financing is not available on reasonable terms or at all,
we may not be able to carry out our corporate strategy and we would be forced to modify our business plans (e.g., limit our expansion, limit
our marketing efforts and/or decrease or eliminate capital expenditures), any of which may adversely affect our financial condition, results of
operations and cash flow. Such reduction could materially adversely affect our business and our ability to compete.
Our capital needs will depend on numerous factors, including, without limitation, (i) our profitability, (ii) our ability to respond to a
release of competitive products by our competitors, and (iii) the amount of our capital expenditures, including acquisitions. Moreover, the
costs involved may exceed those originally contemplated. Cost savings and other economic benefits expected may not materialize as a result of
any cost overruns or changes in market circumstances. Failure to obtain intended economic benefits could adversely affect our business,
financial condition and operating performances.
We need to manage growth in operations to maximize our potential growth and achieve our expected revenues. Our failure to manage
growth can cause a disruption of our operations that may result in the failure to generate revenues at levels we expect.
In order to maximize potential growth in our current markets, we may have to expand our operations. Such expansion will place a
significant strain on our management and our operational, accounting, and information systems. We expect that we will need to continue to
improve our financial controls, operating procedures and management information systems. We will also need to effectively train, motivate,
and manage our employees. Our failure to manage our growth could disrupt our operations and ultimately prevent us from generating the
revenues we expect.
We encounter competition in our business, and any failure to compete effectively could adversely affect our results of operations.
We anticipate that our competitors will continue to expand and seek to obtain additional market share with competitive price and
performance characteristics. Aggressive expansion of our competitors or the entrance of new competitors into our markets could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
14
If we do not compete successfully against new and existing competitors, we may lose our market share, and our operating results may
be adversely affected.
We compete with other companies that may reach our target audience by means that are more effective than our current strategy.
Further, if such other competitors have a long operating history, large product and service suites, more capital resources and broad
international or local recognition, our operating results may be adversely affected if we cannot successfully compete.
We may not be able to respond to changing consumer preferences and our sales may decline.
We operate in markets that are subject to change, including changes in customer preferences. New fads, trends and shifts in gaming
could affect the type of customers that will visit and play our sites. Content in which we have invested significant resources may fail to meet
consumer demand at the time. A decrease in the level of exposure or popularity could result in a loss in sales which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, prospects and financial condition.
We could face a variety of risks of expanding into a new business.
Risks of our entry into the new business line of digital media, include, without limitation: (i) potential diversion of management’s
attention and other resources, including available cash, from our existing businesses; (ii) unanticipated liabilities or contingencies; (iii) the need
for additional capital and other resources to expand into this new line of business; and (iv) inefficient combination or integration of operational
and management systems and controls. Entry into a new line of business may also subject us to new laws and regulations with which we are
not familiar, and may lead to increased litigation and regulatory risk. Further, our business model and strategy are still evolving and are
continually being reviewed and revised, and we may not be able to successfully implement our business model and strategy. We may not be
able to attract a sufficiently large number of audience or customers, or recover costs incurred for developing and marketing these products or
services. If we are unable to successfully implement our growth strategies, our revenue and profitability may not grow as we expect, our
competitiveness may be materially and adversely affected, and our reputation and business may be harmed.
In developing and marketing the new business of digital media, we may invest significant time and resources. Initial timetables for
the introduction and development of our digital media business may not be achieved and price and profitability targets may not prove feasible.
Furthermore, any new line of business could have a significant impact on the effectiveness of our system of internal controls. Failure to
successfully manage these risks in the development and implementation of our new digital media business could have a material adverse effect
on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Item 1B. Unresolved staff comments
Not applicable.
Item 2. Properties
Our principal corporate office currently occupies 2,718 square feet of office space at 500 Mamaroneck Avenue, Suite 204, Harrison,
New York under a lease that expires on November 30, 2014. The Company leases two additional spaces in Saratoga, NY (occupied by
FanTD) and New York City, NY (occupied by MGT Studios) under leases which expire on October 31, 2014, and June 31, 2014,
respectively. The Company believes our office is in good condition and is sufficient to conduct our operations.
Item 3. Legal proceedings
MGT Gaming owns U.S. Patents 7,892,088 and 8,500,554 (the “‘088 and ‘554 patents,” respectively), both entitled "Gaming
Device Having a Second Separate Bonusing Event and both relating to casino gaming systems in which a second game played on an
interactive sign is triggered once specific events occur in a first game. On November 2, 2012, MGT Gaming filed a lawsuit (No. 3:12–cv–
741) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi alleging patent infringement. The lawsuit alleges the
defendants Caesars Entertainment Corporation (NASDAQ GS: CZR), MGM Resorts International, Inc. (NYSE: MGM), WMS Gaming, Inc.
– a subsidiary of WMS Industries, Inc. (NYSE: WMS), Penn National Gaming, Inc. (NASDAQ GS: PENN), and Aruze Gaming America,
Inc. either manufacture, sell or lease gaming systems in violation of MGT Gaming's patent rights, or operate casinos that offer gaming systems
in violation of MGT Gaming's ‘088 patent. An amended version of the complaint added the '54 patent, which is a continuation of the ‘088
patent. The allegedly infringing products manufactured, distributed, used, sold and/or offered for sale by defendants include at least those
identified under the trade names: "Pirate Battle," "Battleship," "Clue, "Amazon Fishing," “Star Trek Battle Stations," "Castle King,"
"Monopoly Bigger Event," and "Paradise Fishing."
On October 23, 2013 the U.S. District Court severed the originally filed action into three separate actions: MGT Gaming, Inc. v.
WMS Gaming, Inc. and Caesars Entertainment Corporation (No. 3:13–cv–691, MGT Gaming, Inc. v WMS Gaming Inc. and MGM Resorts
International, Inc. (No. 3:13–cv–692), and MGT Gaming, Inc. v Aruze Gaming America, Inc. and Penn National Gaming Inc. (No. 3:13–cv–
693). On November 4, 2013 the District Court consolidated the three severed cases for discovery purposes. The Defendants in all three
actions filed counterclaims denying infringement and asserting invalidity of both patents–in–suit. MGT Gaming filed appropriate responses to
those counterclaims, reasserting the validity and infringement of the ‘088 and ‘554 patents
On November 4, 2013, Aruze also voluntarily dismissed its separate action in Nevada which had sought a declaratory judgment that
Aruze does not infringe the '088 Patent and/or that the '088 Patent is invalid or unenforceable.

Patent enforcement
MGT Gaming owns U.S. Patents 7,892,088 and 8,550,554 (the “’088 and ‘554 patents,” respectively), both entitled "Gaming
Device Having a Second Separate Bonusing Event and both relating to casino gaming systems in which a second game played on an
interactive sign is triggered once specific events occur in a first game. On November 2, 2012, MGT Gaming filed a lawsuit (No. 3:12–cv–
741) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi alleging patent infringement. The lawsuit alleges the
defendants Caesars Entertainment Corporation (NASDAQ GS: CZR), MGM Resorts International, Inc. (NYSE: MGM), WMS Gaming, Inc.
– a subsidiary of WMS Industries, Inc. (NYSE: WMS), Penn National Gaming, Inc. (NASDAQ GS: PENN), and Aruze Gaming America,
Inc. either manufacture, sell or lease gaming systems in violation of MGT Gaming's patent rights, or operate casinos that offer gaming systems
in violation of MGT Gaming's ‘088 patent. An amended version of the complaint added the ‘554 patent, which is a continuation of the ‘088
patent. The allegedly infringing products manufactured, distributed, used, sold and/or offered for sale by defendants include at least those
identified under the trade names: "Pirate Battle," "Battleship," "Clue, "Amazon Fishing," “Star Trek Battle Stations," "Castle King,"
"Monopoly Bigger Event," and "Paradise Fishing."
On October 23, 2013, the U.S. District Court severed the originally filed action into three separate actions: MGT Gaming, Inc. v.
WMS Gaming, Inc. and Caesars Entertainment Corporation (No. 3:13–cv–691, MGT Gaming, Inc. v WMS Gaming Inc. and MGM Resorts
International, Inc. (No. 3:13–cv–692), and MGT Gaming, Inc. v Aruze Gaming America, Inc. and Penn National Gaming Inc. (No. 3:13–cv–
693). On November 4, 2013, the District Court consolidated the three severed cases for discovery purposes. The Defendants in all three
actions filed counterclaims denying infringement and asserting invalidity of both patents–in–suit. MGT Gaming filed appropriate responses to
those counterclaims, reasserting the validity and infringement of the ‘088 and ‘554 patents
On November 4, 2013, Aruze also voluntarily dismissed its separate action in Nevada which had sought a declaratory judgment that
Aruze does not infringe the '088 Patent and/or that the '088 Patent is invalid or unenforceable.
On November 4, 2013, WMS filed a Petition for Inter Parties Review ("IPR") with the United States Patent and Trademark Office
("PTO"), challenging the patent–in–suit and, on November 7, 2013, filed motions to stay litigation in both WMS actions during the IPR
proceedings. Those motions were denied by the District Court on December 13, 2013. MGT Gaming’s Preliminary Response is due on
February 19, 2014.
On November 21, 2013, WMS filed a Petition for a Writ of Mandamus with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to
reverse the decision of the district court in refusing to transfer venue to the Northern District of Illinois. The mandamus proceedings have been
fully briefed by all parties and await decision by the appellate court.
On January 27, 2014, the District Court issued a Docket Order setting a Markman Hearing (also known as a claims construction
hearing) for September 25, 2014, in Jackson, Mississippi before the Honorable District Judge Carlton W. Reeves for all three severed cases.
Results of operations
The Company achieved the following results for the years ended December 31, 2013, and 2012, respectively:
· Revenues totaled $396 (2012: $409).
· Operating expenses were $9,349 (2012: $4,634).
· Net loss attributable to Common shareholders $10,272 (2012: $5,882) resulting in a basic and diluted loss per share of $1.84
(2012: $2.62).
19
The decline in revenues is attributed to the Medicsight segment which was offset by additional revenues from the new Gaming
segment.
Our operating expenses have increased substantially during the year ended December 31, 2013, predominantly due to non–cash
expenses such as Preferred Series A warrant modification expense of $598 (2012: $nil), stock–based expense of $2,965 (2012: $753) and
depreciation and amortization expense of $399 (2012: $146). Additionally in 2013 the Company made several acquisitions (Note 3) within the
new Gaming segment and incurred $1,092 in associated operating costs.
Fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 vs. Fiscal year ended December 31, 2012
Medicsight software/devices
During the year ended December 31, 2013, ColonCAD sales decreased to $45 from $152 for the same period last year. Insufflator
sales decreased to $33 compared to $70 for the same period last year. The decline is due to the delay in launching the next generation of the
insufflator via our distributor Ultrasound.
Cost of revenue was $nil (2012: $92, attributable to the Insufflator devices).
Gross margin decreased to $78 from $130 for the same period last year due to lower revenues for this segment in 2013.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $15 in 2013, compared to $1,802 for the same period last year.
Management substantially reduced headcount and streamlined operations in the first half of 2012, all non–US operations we closed. In
addition in 2013 the Company did not allocate executive compensation to Medicsight from MGT Corporate, a decrease of $757 compared to
2012.
There was no research and development expense for this segment in Fiscal 2013 compared to $83 in 2012, due to the streamlining of
operations in the first half of 2012.
Medicsight services
During the year ended December 31, 2013, revenue of $97 was recognized from consulting services (2012: $187). Cost of revenue
was $63 (2012: $173). The decline is attributed to an employee departure during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 in this segment.
Management is currently evaluating and assessing options for this segment.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $7 (2012: $25).
Intellectual property (f/k/a MGT Gaming)
No revenues were generated in Fiscal 2013 as the Company continues to pursue its patent enforcement strategy.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $595 (2012: $208), attributed to intellectual property amortization and consulting
and legal fees.
Gaming
During the year ended December 31, 2013, revenue of $221 was recognized through our Gaming segment.
Our cost of revenue was $496, which primarily consisted of overlay incurred on the Fanthrowdown website. The website offers
daily Fantasy Sports contests and charges entry fees to play. Occasionally, as an incentive for user activity some contests may pay out higher
prize money than the charged entry fees, the expense is recognized as overlay and included in cost of revenues. Management expects these
costs to decrease substantially as the site builds its user base and increases liquidity.
There is no comparable revenue or cost of revenue for the same period last year as this is a new segment for 2013.
Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,092, which primarily related to information technology and marketing costs
associated with the Fanthrowdown website. There is no comparable selling, general and administrative expense for last year as this is a new
segment beginning May 20, 2013.
In the year ended December 31, 2013 the Company recognized $73 of research and development expense (2012: $nil), attributed to
product development costs in MGT Interactive and MGT Studios.
Unallocated corporate/other
Selling, general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2013 increased to $7,567 from $2,516 in 2012. A
substantial portion of this increase relates non–cash expenses such as stock–based expense of $2,965 (2012: $753), Preferred Series A
warrant modification expense of $598 (2012: $nil) and depreciation and amortization expense of $399 (2012: $146). In addition the Company
did not allocate executive compensation expense to Medicsight from MGT Corporate this year, resulting in an increase of $757 from 2012.
20
The Company recorded $30 in interest and other income for Fiscal 2013 (2012: an expense of $99, primarily attributed to interest
payments on the Convertible Note).

On December 31, 2013, MGT’s cash and cash equivalents were $4,642 excluding $140 of restricted cash. The Company continues
to exercise discipline with respect to current expense levels, as revenues remain limited. Our cash and cash equivalents have increased during
2013, primarily from $2,222 and $4,035 provided by investing and financing activities respectively.
Operating activities
Our net cash used in operating activities differs from the net loss predominantly because of various non–cash adjustments such as
depreciation, amortization of intangibles, modification of Preferred Series A warrants, accretion of convertible note discount, amortization of
deferred financing cost, loss on extinguishment of convertible note, stock–based compensation and movements in working capital.
Investing activities
Restricted cash
With fewer than 345,012 shares of Preferred Stock outstanding, $2,000 was released out of restricted cash as the Company is no
longer subject to the Cash Maintenance provision of the Purchase Agreement under which the Preferred Stock was originally sold in October
2012 (Note 9).
Avcom
On November 11, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) with MGT Capital
Solutions, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Avcom, Inc. and the shareholders and option holders of Avcom, Inc. (“Avcom”).
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of Avcom. In consideration, the Preferred Stockholders of
Avcom received $550 in value of the Company’s Common Stock and the Common Stockholders and option holders of Avcom will receive an

weighted average closing price for the 20 trading days prior to signing the Agreement. The Avcom acquisition closed on November 26, 2013.
One half of the issuance to the Avcom Common Stockholders and option holders was placed in escrow and will be released upon
the later of (i) the commercial release of an agreed upon game or (ii) six (6) months after closing. In addition, the Common Stockholders may
be awarded contingent consideration of $1,000 through the issuance of up to 333,000 of the Company’s Common Stock in the event that the
game reaches $3,000 in gross revenues within 18 months of signing the Agreement. Although the Company is currently evaluating the
accounting treatment of the Agreement, the Company believes that the acquisition will constitute a “Significant Acquisition” for accounting
purposes.

and intellectual property associated with Mobileveg.as and freeawesome.com, as well as a game under development titled “SlotChamp”. Prior

During the year ending December 31, 2013, 357,204 of the Company’s $3.00 Common Stock Purchase Warrants were exercised.
Of the warrant conversions, 210,529 were cashless and 146,675 were exercised for total proceeds of $440.
In addition, the allowed maximum of 1,431,486 Warrants were exchanged for 894,683 shares of the Company’s Common Stock,
issuable upon shareholder and Exchange approval. On September 27, 2013, at MGT’s annual meeting of stockholders, stockholders approved
the issuance of up to 894,683 shares of Common Stock in exchange for the cancellation of 1,431,486 warrants to purchase shares of Common
Stock at $3.85 per share. The shares were subsequently issued on October 8, 2013. The stock was valued at $3,230, using the closing market
price on September 27, 2013.
On December 10, 2013, the Company entered into a Warrant Modification Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Iroquois Master Fund
Ltd. (“Iroquois”). Pursuant to the Agreement, Iroquois agreed to immediately exercise its warrant to purchase 613,496 shares of Common
Stock, par value $0.001 of the Company, at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $920 and (ii)
agreed to terminate its right of participation in future equity offerings of the Company. In exchange, the Company agreed to reduce the warrant
exercise price from $3.85 per share to $1.50 per share, and agreed not to issue any securities at a price below $2.50 per share for a period of
90 days after the date of the Agreement (other than securities granted pursuant to a stock plan or issued in connection with an acquisition or
issued pursuant to an agency agreement with a registered broker–dealer provided that we agree with the broker–dealer and publicly announce
that we will not sell shares for a price below $2.50 per share); this 90 day period has expired. Iroquois acquired the warrant in connection with
the Company's November 2012 financing. In connection with the Agreement, the Company paid to Chardan Capital Markets, LLC a
placement fee for the solicitation of the exercise of the warrants equal to 8% of the gross proceeds raised, or approximately $73 and
reimbursed Chardan for $9 of its legal fees, resulting in net proceeds of $838.
Century
On December 2, 2013, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Century. Pursuant to
the Settlement Agreement, both parties agreed to the following: (i) the Company’s obligation to grant the Warrant and to issue the underlying
Common Stock, and Century’s right to receive the Warrant and the underlying Common Stock is cancelled, (ii) Century will make a cash
payment to the Company of $100 and (iii) the Company will issue to Century 100,000 shares of Common Stock subject to NYSE MKT
exchange approval. These shares were subsequently issued on December 26, 2013. The stock was valued at $301, using the closing market
price on December 2, 2013. Proceeds under the Settlement Agreement were received December 10, 2013 (Note 11).
Convertible note
On May 29, 2012, MGT entered into an agreement with an investor providing $3.5 million of capital in support of the Company’s
strategy to monetize intellectual property. The capital raise comprised the sale of $3.5 million of Notes plus HB Warrants to purchase MGT
Common Stock. The Company paid $372 of financings costs associated to this note issuance.
On October 9, 2012, the Company executed two identical exchange agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”) settling the
outstanding Note for a cash payment of $3.5 million and 100,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock valued at $415, using the opening
price of the Company’s Common Stock on October 9, 2012. The net carrying amount of the Note on the date of extinguishment was $2,698
which was comprised of the amount due at maturity of $3,500 less unamortized debt discount of $802 related to the amount allocated to the
warrants and the beneficial conversion feature at issuance. The total reacquisition price of $3,915 was allocated first to the repurchased
beneficial conversion feature by recording a reduction of additional paid–in capital of $1,341 measured as the intrinsic value of that conversion
feature at the extinguishment date with the residual amount of the reacquisition price of $2,574 allocated to the Note. The difference between
the reacquisition price allocated to the Note and the net carrying amount of the Note resulted in a gain of $124 which when netted with the
write–off of unamortized deferred financing costs of $462 and legal cost of $17, at extinguishment resulted in a total loss on extinguishment of
$355. Extinguishment of debt, gains and losses, including fees, incurred in connection with the early extinguishment of debt are charged to
current earnings as reductions in non–operating expenses.
23
Convertible Preferred Series A
On November 2, 2012, the Company closed two separate financing agreements with various institutional investors providing an
aggregate of $5.9 million of capital. The capital raise was comprised of the sale of 1,380,362 shares of Preferred Stock (including 2,760,724
warrants to purchase MGT Common Stock), resulting in gross proceeds of $4.5 million, plus a separate sale of 453,000 shares of MGT
Common Stock at $3.01 per share for gross proceeds of $1.4 million. On October 26, 2012, this transaction was approved by the Exchange.
The Preferred Stock is convertible into the Company's Common Stock at a fixed price of $3.26 per share and carries a 6% dividend. During
February and March 2013, 241,748 and 30,000 shares of the Company’s Preferred Convertible Series A Stock were converted into 241,748
and 30,000 shares, of the Company’s Common Stock, respectively. The Warrants have a five–year life and are exercisable at $3.85 per MGT
share; the Company issued a total of 2,760,724 warrants. The Common Stock was sold at $3.01 per share with a total of 453,000 shares sold,
under its S–3 Registration Statement (Registrant No. 333–182298), which was declared effective on September 25, 2012.
Risks and uncertainties related to our future capital requirements
The Company has incurred significant operating losses since inception and continues to generate losses from operations. As a result,
the Company has generated negative cash flows from operations and has an accumulated deficit of $293,833 at December 31, 2013. The
Company is operating in a developing industry based on new technology and its primary source of funds to date has been through the
issuance of securities. While the Company is optimistic and believes appropriate actions are being taken, there can be no assurance that the
products or patent monetization strategy will be successful. Furthermore, it is contemplated that any acquisitions may require the Company to
raise capital; such capital may not be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.
On December 30, 2013, and as amended on March 27, 2014, the Company entered into an At the Market Offering Agreement (the
“Agreement”) with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC (the “Manager”).
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company may offer and sell shares of its Common Stock (the “Shares”) having an aggregate
offering price of up to $8.5 million from time to time through the Manager. The Shares sold in the offering will be issued pursuant to the
Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S–3 (File No. 333–182298) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as supplemented
by a prospectus supplement dated December 30, 2013 for the sale of up to $8.5 million of Shares, which the Company filed with the SEC
pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Securities Act.
The Manager is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of Shares but will use its commercially reasonable efforts,
as the Company's agent and subject to the terms of the Agreement, to sell the Shares offered, as instructed by the Company. Such instructions
will include notice as to the maximum amount of shares of the Company’s Common Stock to be sold by the Manager on a daily basis and the
minimum price per share at which such shares may be sold.
The Agreement provides that the Company will pay the Manager a fee of 3.0% of the gross sales price of any Shares sold through
the Manager. The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the Manager and customary
conditions to completing future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties and termination provisions.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from any sales of Shares in the offering for working capital, capital expenditures, and
general business purposes. The Company's management will have significant flexibility in applying the net proceeds of this offering.
At December 31, 2013, MGT’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $4,782, including $271 held in FanTD and $6 held
in MGT Gaming.
Management believes that the current level of working capital along with the At the Market Offering Agreement, will be sufficient to
allow the Company to maintain its operations into April 2015.
To date we have primarily financed our operations through private placements of equity and debt securities. To the extent that
additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or equity–related securities of the Company or its subsidiaries, the issuance of such
securities could result in dilution to our stockholders.
No assurance can be given, however, that we will have access to the capital markets in the future, or that financing will be available
on acceptable terms, if at all, to satisfy our cash requirements to implement our business strategies.
If we are unable to access the capital markets or obtain acceptable financing, our results of operations and financial conditions could
be materially and adversely affected. We may be required to raise substantial additional funds through other means.
Commercial results have been limited and we have not generated significant revenues. We cannot assure our stockholders that our
revenues will be sufficient to fund our operations. If adequate funds are not available to us, we may be required to curtail operations
significantly or to obtain funds through entering into arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights
to certain of our technologies or products that we would not otherwise relinquish.
24
Currently the Company anticipates it has sufficient cash on hand, along with the At the Market Offering Agreement to continue
operations at least through April 2015, at which point the Company may need to seek additional sources of financing. There is no guarantee
that additional sources of financing will be available or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.
There can be no assurance that any additional acquisitions will occur at all, or that any such acquisitions will be accretive to earnings,
book value and other financial metrics, or that any such acquisitions will generate positive returns for Company shareholders. Furthermore, it
is contemplated that any acquisitions may require the Company to raise additional capital; such capital may not be available on terms acceptable
to the Company, if at all.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from any future offerings for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to,
obtaining regulatory approvals, commercialization of its products, capital expenditures and working capital.
Commitments
Consulting agreements
On October 26, 2012, the Company entered into a one–year financial advisory and consulting agreement with a national investment–
banking firm. Compensation under the agreement includes cash consideration of $250 and 120,000 shares of restricted Common Stock. Under
the terms of the agreement, there are no penalties or liabilities to the Company if approval is not received. Issuances of restricted Common
Stock to service providers as compensation for services are subject to shareholder approval. These shares were subsequently issued on
September 4, 2013 (2012: None). The stock was valued at $504, the closing market price on that date. For the year ended December 31, 2013,
the Company expensed $188 in cash and $504 in stock consideration (2012: $42 and $nil respectively).
In November 2012, in connection with the sale of the Preferred Stock, the Company was required to enter into investor/public
relations service agreements, with terms of seven, ten and twelve months. Compensation under the agreements included cash consideration of
$444, the issuance of 100,000 shares of Preferred Stock and 400,000 warrants to purchase MGT Common Stock. Issuance of Preferred Stock
and warrants to service providers as compensation for services are subject to shareholder and NYSE MKT approval. No shares were
approved or issued as of December 31, 2013 (2012: None). Under the terms of the agreements, there are no penalties or liabilities to the
Company if approval is not received.
The twelve–month agreement was mutually terminated in January 2013, reducing the remaining cash consideration due by $108 and
the stock consideration still owed under the agreement was further renegotiated on May 3, 2013, to replace the issuance of 100,000 shares of
Preferred Stock and 200,000 warrants to purchase MGT Common Stock with the issuance of 50,000 shares of Restricted Common Stock,
subject to NYSE MKT exchange approval. These shares were subsequently issued on September 4, 2013. The stock was valued at $206,
using the closing market price on that date. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company expensed $228 in cash and $407 in stock
consideration (2012: $79 and $nil respectively).
On May 3, 2013, the seven–month agreement was mutually terminated, reducing the future cash consideration due by $20 in
consideration of having a month–to–month service agreement for $15 per month. This agreement was cancelled in August 2013.
The ten–month agreement terminated in accordance with its terms on September 19, 2013, however, because the obligation to meet
the timeframe contemplated and the issuance of the Warrant was never made, management determined it was in the best interest of the
Company to enter into a settlement regarding the Warrant issuance. On December 2, 2013, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement
(the “Settlement Agreement”). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, both parties agreed to the following: (i) the Company’s obligation to
grant the Warrant and to issue the underlying Common Stock, and Century’s right to receive the Warrant and the underlying Common Stock is
cancelled, (ii) Century will make a cash payment to the Company of $100 and (iii) the Company will issue to Century 100,000 shares of
Common Stock subject to NYSE MKT exchange approval. Proceeds under the Settlement Agreement were received December 10, 2013. The
shares were issued on December 26, 2013. The stock was valued at $301, using the closing market price on that date.
For the years ended December 31, 2013, the Company paid $415 in cash consideration (2012: $121), and recognized $911 (2012:
$nil) of stock–based expense relating to the agreements.
Haller agreements
On September 30, 2013, the Company and Michael Haller (“Haller”) agreed to terminate the June 1, 2013, Employment Agreement
between the Company and Haller. In addition, the Company agreed to license certain intellectual property obtained from Digital Angel
Corporation to Gammaker Pty. Ltd (“Gammaker”), a Singapore entity controlled by Haller in exchange for a 10% share of the gross revenues
generated by Gammaker on such licensed assets. The Company also sold to Haller certain trademarks owned by the Company for
consideration of $6, which was received on October 17, 2013.
Lease agreements
In September 2011, the Company entered into a 39–month lease agreement for office space located in Harrison, New York,
terminating on November 30, 2014. Under the agreement our total rental payments over the 39–month lease period are $240, inclusive of three
months of free rent and a refundable rental deposit of $39, held as restricted cash.
A satellite office in Tokyo, Japan was closed in January 2012, and the rental deposit of $128 was returned.
25
25
Beginning August 1, 2011, the Company’s UK office lease was on a month–to–month basis, with total monthly rental payments of
$13 along with a rental deposit of $25. In February 2012, the Company moved to a smaller office in the same location with month–to–month
rental payments of $4 and a rental deposit of $6. We terminated this lease effective June 30, 2012, to streamline operations. The Company no
longer maintains a UK office.
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 (“GAAP”). The notes
to the consolidated financial statements contained in this Annual Report describe our significant accounting policies used in the preparation of
the consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We continually
evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates.
We believe the critical accounting policies listed below reflect significant judgments, estimates and assumptions used in the
preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Software developed for internal use
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350–40 “Intangibles–Internal Use Software” on accounting for
the costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use. Costs incurred during the preliminary stage are expensed as incurred by
the Company. Certain qualifying costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized as property, equipment and software
by the Company. The Company begins capitalization when the preliminary project stage is complete and it is probable that the project will be
completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended.
Intangible assets
Estimates of future cash flows and timing of events for evaluating long–lived assets for impairment are based upon management’s
judgment. If any of our intangible or long–lived assets are considered to be impaired, the amount of impairment to be recognized is the excess
of the carrying amount of the assets over its fair value. Applicable long–lived assets are amortized or depreciated over the shorter of their
estimated useful lives, the estimated period that the assets will generate revenue, or the statutory or contractual term in the case of patents.
Estimates of useful lives and periods of expected revenue generation are reviewed periodically for appropriateness and are based upon
management’s judgment.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company
is required to perform impairment reviews at each of its reporting units annually and more frequently in certain circumstances.
In accordance with ASC 350–20 “Goodwill”, the Company is able to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than
not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two–step goodwill impairment test. If the Company
concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is not less than its carrying amount it is not required to perform
the two–step impairment test for that reporting unit.
Virtual currency liability related to Avcom
Users of the Company’s website maintain virtual currency balances which are accumulated as users participate in the Company’s
online games. The amounts may become payable in cash by the Company once the user’s virtual currency balance exceeds a certain minimum
threshold; a virtual currency balance of $10.00 or $20.00 based upon initial date of enrollment on the site. User accounts expire after six
months of inactivity. The Company records an accrual for potential virtual currency payouts at the end of each reporting period based on
historical payout experience and current virtual currency balances. At December 31, 2013 the Company recorded a liability of $10 relating to
potential future virtual currency payouts.
Deferred financing costs
In conjunction with the issuance of Senior Secured Convertible Notes on June 1, 2012, the Company incurred certain financing
costs, including the issuance of Common Stock. The Company accounts for deferred financing costs in accordance with ASC 470–10 “Debt”.
Deferred financing costs are amortized through periodic charges to other non–operating expenses over the term of the related financial
instrument using the effective interest method.
26
Convertible instruments
The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815
“Derivatives and Hedging Activities” and ASC 470 “Debt”. Applicable GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their
host instruments and account for them as freestanding derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria includes
circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to
the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument
and the host contract is not re–measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair
value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be
considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule, when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as that term is described
under applicable GAAP.
Beneficial conversion features
From time to time, the Company may issue convertible instruments that may have conversion prices that create an embedded
beneficial conversion feature. A beneficial conversion feature exists on the date a convertible note is issued when the fair value of the
underlying Common Stock to which the note is convertible into is in excess of the remaining unallocated proceeds of the note after first
considering the allocation of a portion of the note proceeds to the fair value of any detachable equity instruments, if any related equity
instruments were granted with the debt. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a discount with a corresponding
amount to additional paid–in–capital. A discount to the convertible instrument is accreted to expense over the life of the instrument using the
effective interest method.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. We consider revenue realized or realizable and earned
when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement and that the product has been shipped or the services have been provided to the customer,
the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable. Our material revenue streams are related to the delivery of software
license fees, maintenance services, hardware, consulting services and gaming fees. We enter into revenue arrangements that may consist of
multiple deliverables of software and services due to the needs of our customers. In addition to these general revenue recognition criteria, the
following specific revenue recognition policies are followed:
Multiple–element arrangements — the Company enters into arrangements with visualization solution partners and original equipment
manufacturers. For such arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue using the Multiple–Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. For our
multiple–element arrangements, deliverables are separated into more than one unit of accounting when (i) the delivered element(s) have value
to the customer on a stand–alone basis, and (ii) delivery of the undelivered element(s) is probable and substantially in our control.
The revenue allocated to each deliverable will then be recorded in accordance with existing revenue recognition guidance for stand–
alone component sales and services.
·
Software – License fee revenue is derived from the licensing of computer software. Maintenance revenue is derived from
software maintenance. Our software licenses are generally sold as part of an arrangement that includes maintenance and support.
The Company generally offers terms that require payment 30 – 45 days from invoicing. Provided that the Reseller: (i) assumes all
risk of the purchase, (ii) has the ability and obligation to pay regardless of receiving payment from the end user, and (iii) all other
revenue recognition criteria are met, license revenue from Resellers is recognized upon shipment of its product to vendors (“sell–
in basis”).
Revenue from license fees is recognized when notification of shipment to the end user has occurred, there are no significant
Company obligations with regard to implementation and the Company’s services are not considered essential to the functionality
of other elements of the arrangement.
· Maintenance – Revenue from maintenance and support arrangements is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the
maintenance and support arrangements.
· Hardware – Revenue is derived from sales of our automated carbon dioxide insufflation device. The device is sold and warrantied
exclusively through our distribution partner Ultrasound Technologies, Ltd. with the Company receiving a royalty on each unit
sold. Revenue is recognized as orders are satisfied and delivered by our supplier.
·
Services–consulting – Consulting revenue is earned over the period in which the Company provides the related services. The
Company recognizes consulting revenue as it meets the terms of the underlying contract on the terms of the agreement.
· Gaming fees – Revenue represents income earned as entry fees for a daily fantasy sports contest and is presented net of any
bonus points applied by customers. Once a contest concludes, the Company recognizes the income earned as revenue.
27
· Advertising – Revenue is earned with certain advertising service providers for advertisements within our games and revenue from
these advertisers is generated through impressions, click–throughs, banner ads and offers. Revenue is recognized as
advertisements are delivered, an executed contract exists, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability has been reasonably
assured. Delivery generally occurs when the advertisement has been displayed or the offer has been completed by the user.
Research and development
The Company incurs costs in connection with the development of software products that are intended for sale. Costs incurred prior
to technological feasibility being established for the product are expensed as incurred. Technological feasibility is established upon completion
of a detail program design or, in its absence, completion of a working model. Thereafter, all software production costs are capitalized and
subsequently reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalized costs are amortized based on current and future
revenue for each product with an annual minimum equal to the straight–line amortization over the remaining estimated economic life of the
product. Amortization commences when the product is available for general release to customers.
The Company concluded that capitalizing such expenditures on completion of a working model was inappropriate because the
Company did not incur any material software production costs and therefore expenses were all research and development costs. Our research
and development costs are comprised of staff, consultancy and other costs expensed on our products.
Equity–based compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense for all equity–based payments in accordance with ASC 718 “Share-based
payments". 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 Company. These awards are restricted as to the transfer of ownership and
generally vest over the requisite service periods, typically over an eighteen 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 Company stock on the grant date
The fair value of 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 input into the model. These assumptions are the expected stock
volatility, the risk–free interest rate, the option’s expected life and the dividend yield on the underlying stock. Expected volatility is calculated
based on the historical volatility of our Common Stock over the expected option life and other appropriate factors. Risk–free interest rates are
calculated based on continuously compounded risk–free rates for the appropriate term. The dividend yield is assumed to be zero as the
Company has never paid or declared any cash dividends on our Common Stock and does not intend to pay dividends on our Common Stock
in the foreseeable future. The expected forfeiture rate is estimated based on historical experience.
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. As a result, if factors
change and the Company uses different assumptions, our equity–based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In
addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and recognize expense only for those shares expected to vest. If our
actual forfeiture rate is materially different from our estimate, the equity–based compensation expense could be significantly different from
what the Company has recorded in the current period.
The Company accounts for share–based payments granted to non–employees in accordance with ASC 505, “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 reliably measurable. 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.
Segment reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is
evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision–making group in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance. Our chief operating decision–making group is composed of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer. We operate in
four operational segments, Medicsight Software/Devices, Medicsight Services, Gaming and Intellectual Property. MGT Gaming is now
referred to as Intellectual Property. Gaming is a new segment for the current year. Certain corporate expenses are not allocated to segments.
Recent accounting pronouncements
There are no recent accounting pronouncements that are expected to have an effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Item 7A. Quantitative and qualitative disclosure about market risk
We are a smaller reporting company and therefore, we are not required to provide information required by this Item on Form 10–K.
Item 8. Financial statements and supplementary data
See Financial Statements and Schedules attached hereto.
Item 9. Changes in and disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure
None.
Item 9A. Controls and procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
The Company has established controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that
the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in
the Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of the
Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a–
15(e) and 15d–15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this
report (the “Evaluation Date”). There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures,
including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective
disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based on such evaluation, the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company (including its combined
subsidiaries) in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the communication to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting.
SEC rules implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002 require our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10–K to contain
management’s report regarding the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. As a basis for our report, we tested and evaluated
the design, documentation, and operating effectiveness of our internal control.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, as defined in
Rule 13a–15(f) under the Exchange Act, of MGT Capital Investments, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Company’s internal control over financial
reporting consists of policies and procedures that are designed and operated to provide reasonable assurance about the reliability of the
Company’s financial reporting and its process for preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”). There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, including the possibility of human error and
the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect
to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in the

including the company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer or persons performing similar
functions. Prior to June 25, 2012, the Company’s employees and directors were subject to the previous Code of Ethics adopted by the Board
of Directors on December 28, 2007.
Copies of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, the Anti–Fraud Policy, the Whistleblower Policy and the MGT Share Dealing
Code can be obtained, without charge by writing to the Corporate Secretary at MGT Capital Investments, Inc., 500 Mamaroneck Avenue,

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of the
Company’s stock (collectively, “Reporting Persons”) to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and changes in ownership of the
Company’s Common Stock. Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a)
reports they file. Other than as disclosed below and based solely on a review of the reports furnished to us, or written representations from
reporting persons that all reportable transaction were reported, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, our officers,
directors and greater than ten percent stockholders timely filed all reports and did not miss any filings as required to file under Section 16(a).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors and Shareholders
of MGT Capital Investments, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of MGT Capital Investments, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of
December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash
flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.
Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of MGT
Capital Investments, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

MGT CAPITAL INVESTMENTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands except share and per–share amounts)
Note 1. Organization, basis of presentation and liquidity
Organization
MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (“MGT,” “the Company,” “we,” “us”) is a Delaware corporation, incorporated in 2000. The
Company was originally incorporated in Utah in 1977. MGT is comprised of the parent company, majority–owned subsidiary MGT Gaming,
Inc. (“MGT Gaming”) and wholly–owned subsidiaries Medicsight, Inc. (“Medicsight”), MGT Studios, Inc. (f/k/a MGT Capital Solutions,
Inc.) (“MGT Studios”) including its wholly–owned subsidiary Avcom, Inc. and its majority owned subsidiary M2P Americas, Inc., and
MGT Sports, Inc. (“MGT Sports”) including its majority owned subsidiary FanTD LLC, (“FanTD”). Our Corporate office is located in
Harrison, New York.
MGT and its subsidiaries are primarily engaged in the business of acquiring, developing and monetizing assets in the casino, online
and mobile gaming space, as well as the casino industry.
MGT Gaming owns U.S. Patents 7,892,088 and 8,500,54 (the “’088 and ‘554 patents,” respectively), both entitled "Gaming Device
Having a Second Separate Bonusing Event and both relating to casino gaming systems in which a second game played on an interactive sign
is triggered once specific events occur in a first game. On November 2, 2012, MGT Gaming filed a lawsuit (No. 3:12–cv–741) in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi alleging patent infringement. The lawsuit alleges the defendants Caesars
Entertainment Corporation (NASDAQ GS: CZR), MGM Resorts International, Inc. (NYSE: MGM), WMS Gaming, Inc. – a subsidiary of
WMS Industries, Inc. (NYSE: WMS), Penn National Gaming, Inc. (NASDAQ GS: PENN), and Aruze Gaming America, Inc. either
manufacture, sell or lease gaming systems in violation of MGT Gaming's patent rights, or operate casinos that offer gaming systems in
violation of MGT Gaming's ‘088 patent.
As of March 31, 2014 the Company is still pursuing its patent-infringement case and awaiting a Markman Hearing (also known as a
claims construction hearing) which is set for September 25, 2014 in Jackson, Mississippi before the Honorable District Judge Carlton W.
Reeves for all three severed cases.
Liquidity
The Company has incurred significant operating losses since inception and continues to generate losses from operations. As a result,
the Company has generated negative cash flows from operations and has an accumulated deficit of $293,833 at December 31, 2013. The
Company is operating in a developing industry based on new technology and its primary source of funds to date has been through issuances
of securities. While the Company is optimistic and believes appropriate actions are being taken, there can be no assurance that the products or
patent monetization strategy will be successful. Furthermore, it is contemplated that any acquisitions may require the Company to raise capital;
such capital may not be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.
On December 30, 2013, and as amended on March 27, 2014, the Company entered into an At the Market Offering Agreement (the
“Agreement”) with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC (the “Manager”).
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company may offer and sell shares of its Common Stock (the “Shares”) having an aggregate
offering price of up to $8.5 million from time to time through the Manager. The Shares sold in the offering will be issued pursuant to the
Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S–3 (File No. 333–182298) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as supplemented
by a prospectus supplement dated December 30, 2013 for the sale of up to $8.5 million of Shares, which the Company filed with the SEC
pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Securities Act.
The Manager is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of Shares but will use its commercially reasonable efforts,
as the Company's agent and subject to the terms of the Agreement, to sell the Shares offered, as instructed by the Company. Such instructions
will include notice as to the maximum amount of shares of the Company’s Common Stock to be sold by the Manager on a daily basis and the
minimum price per share at which such shares may be sold.
The Agreement provides that the Company will pay the Manager a fee of 3.0% of the gross sales price of any Shares sold through
the Manager. The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the Manager and customary
conditions to completing future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties and termination provisions.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from any sales of Shares in the offering for working capital, capital expenditures, and
general business purposes. The Company's management will have significant flexibility in applying the net proceeds of this offering.
At December 31, 2013, MGT’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $4,782, including $6 held in MGT Gaming, $271
held in FanTD Company’s portfolio of medical imaging patents.
45
Management believes that the current level of working capital along with the At the Market Offering Agreement, will be sufficient to
allow the Company to maintain its operations until at least January 2015.
The Fanthrowdown website offers daily Fantasy Sports contests and charges entry fees to play. Occasionally, as an incentive for
user activity some contests may pay out higher prize money than the charged entry fees, the expense is recognized as overlay and included in
cost of revenues. Management expects these costs to decrease substantially as the site builds its user base and increases liquidity.
Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation
Prior to the change in functional currency effective June 30, 2012, all foreign currency translation gains and losses arising on
consolidation were recorded in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income / (loss). Non–controlling
interest represents the minority equity investment in any of the MGT subsidiaries, plus the minorities’ share of the net operating result and
other components of equity relating to the non–controlling interest.
Use of estimates and assumptions and critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date(s) of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period(s).
Critical accounting estimates are estimates for which (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and
judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and (b) the impact of the estimate on
financial condition or operating performance is material. The Company’s critical accounting estimates and assumptions affecting the financial
statements were:
(1) Allowance for doubtful accounts: Management’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on historical sales,
historical loss levels, and an analysis of the collectability of individual accounts; and general economic conditions that may affect a
client’s ability to pay. The Company evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the allowance in determining that it
is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
(2) Fair value of long–lived assets: Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or
market value, if readily determinable. If long–lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining
estimated useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book values of the long–lived assets are depreciated over the
newly determined remaining estimated useful lives. The Company considers the following to be some examples of important
indicators that may trigger an impairment review: (i) significant under–performance or losses of assets relative to expected historical
or projected future operating results; (ii) significant changes in the manner or use of assets or in the Company’s overall strategy
with respect to the manner or use of the acquired assets or changes in the Company’s overall business strategy; (iii) significant
negative industry or economic trends; (iv) increased competitive pressures; (v) a significant decline in the Company’s stock price
for a sustained period of time; and (vi) regulatory changes. The Company evaluates acquired assets for potential impairment
indicators at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of such events.
(3) Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets: Management assumes that the realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets
resulting from its net operating loss (“NOL”) carry–forwards for Federal income tax purposes that may be offset against future
taxable income was not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry–forwards are
offset by a full valuation allowance. Management made this assumption based on (a) the Company has incurred recurring losses,
(b) general economic conditions, and (c) its ability to raise additional funds to support its daily operations by way of a public or
private offering, among other factors.
(4) Estimates and assumptions used in valuation of equity instruments: Management estimates expected term of share options and
similar instruments, expected volatility of the Company’s common shares and the method used to estimate it, expected annual rate
of quarterly dividends, and risk free rate(s) to value share options and similar instruments.
These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to
these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to
the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying
values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available
information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed
appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of consolidation
All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Non–controlling interest represents the minority equity investment
in MGT subsidiaries, plus the minority investors’ share of the net operating results and other components of equity relating to the non–
controlling interest.
Software developed for internal use
The Company follows ASC 350–40 “Intangibles–Internal Use Software” on accounting for the costs of computer software
developed or obtained for internal use. Costs incurred during the preliminary stage are expensed as incurred by the Company. Certain
qualifying costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized as property, equipment and software by the Company. The
Company begins capitalization when the preliminary project stage is complete and it is probable that the project will be completed and the
software will be used to perform the function intended.
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
The Company considers investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash primarily
represents cash not available for immediate and general use by the Company.
We invest our cash in short–term deposits with major banks. As of December 31, 2012, we held $3,443 of cash and cash
equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and temporary investments with original maturities of 90 days or less when purchased.
As of December 31, 2013, our cash balance was $4,642. Of the total cash balance, $3,590 is covered under the US Federal
Depository Insurance Corporation.
A of December 31, 2012 our restricted cash was $2,039, consisting of $2,000 restricted under Convertible Preferred Series A Stock
Agreement (Note 9) and $39 relating to a rental deposit for our Harrison Office. As of December 31, 2013 restricted cash was $140, which
included $99 held in escrow relating to the sale of the Company’s portfolio of medical imaging patents pending reclaim of foreign withholding
tax. Proceeds from the patent sale were placed into escrow prior to receipt by the Company pursuant to an escrow agreement between the
Company and Munich Innovations GmbH (Note 4). The escrow agent distributed the escrow deposit in accordance with and subject to any
deductions specified in the patent sale agreement. The remaining $39 of restricted cash supports a letter of credit, in lieu of a rental deposit, for
our Harrison, NY office lease and $2 relates to security deposit for our Saratoga, NY office lease.
With fewer than 345,012 shares of Preferred Stock outstanding, $2,000 was released out of restricted cash as the Company is no
longer subject to the Cash Maintenance provision of the Purchase Agreement under which the Preferred Stock was originally sold in October
2012 (Note 9).
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. 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.
Intangible assets
Estimates of future cash flows and timing of events for evaluating long–lived assets for impairment are based upon management’s
judgment. If any of our intangible or long–lived assets are considered to be impaired, the amount of impairment to be recognized is the excess
of the carrying amount of the assets over its fair value. Applicable long–lived assets are amortized or depreciated over the shorter of their
estimated useful lives, the estimated period that the assets will generate revenue, or the statutory or contractual term in the case of patents.
Estimates of useful lives and periods of expected revenue generation are reviewed periodically for appropriateness and are based upon
management’s judgment.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company
is required to perform impairment reviews at each of its reporting units annually and more frequently in certain circumstances.
In accordance with ASC 350–20 “Goodwill” , the Company is able to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than
not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two–step goodwill impairment test. If the Company
concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is not less than its carrying amount it is not required to perform
the two–step impairment test for that reporting unit.
Virtual currency liability related to Avcom
Users of the Company’s website maintain virtual currency balances which are accumulated as users participate in the Company’s
online games. The amounts may become payable in cash by the Company once the user’s virtual currency balance exceeds a certain minimum
threshold; a virtual currency balance of $10.00 or $20.00 based upon initial date of enrollment on the site. User accounts expire after six
months of inactivity. The Company records an accrual for potential virtual currency payouts at the end of each reporting period based on
historical payout experience and current virtual currency balances. At December 31, 2013 the Company recorded a liability of $10 relating to
potential future virtual currency payouts.
47
Convertible instruments
The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815
“Derivatives and Hedging Activities” and ASC 470 “Debt”. Applicable GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their
host instruments and account for them as freestanding derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria includes
circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to
the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument
and the host contract is not re–measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair
value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be
considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule, when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as that term is described
under applicable GAAP.
Beneficial conversion features
From time to time, the Company may issue convertible instruments that may have conversion prices that create an embedded
beneficial conversion feature. A beneficial conversion feature exists on the date a convertible note is issued when the fair value of the
underlying Common Stock to which the note is convertible into is in excess of the remaining unallocated proceeds of the note after first
considering the allocation of a portion of the note proceeds to the fair value of any detachable equity instruments, if any related equity
instruments were granted with the debt. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a discount with a corresponding
amount to additional paid–in–capital. A discount to the convertible instrument is accreted to expense over the life of the instrument using the
effective interest method.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. We consider revenue realized or realizable and earned
when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement and that the product has been shipped or the services have been provided to the customer,
the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable. Our material revenue streams are related to the delivery of software
license fees, maintenance services, hardware, consulting services and gaming fees. We enter into revenue arrangements that may consist of
multiple deliverables of software and services due to the needs of our customers. In addition to these general revenue recognition criteria, the
following specific revenue recognition policies are followed:
Multiple–element arrangements — the Company enters into arrangements with visualization solution partners and original equipment
manufacturers. For such arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue using the Multiple–Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. For our
multiple–element arrangements, deliverables are separated into more than one unit of accounting when (i) the delivered element(s) have value
to the customer on a stand–alone basis, and (ii) delivery of the undelivered element(s) is probable and substantially in our control.
The revenue allocated to each deliverable will then be recorded in accordance with existing revenue recognition guidance for stand–
alone component sales and services.
·
Software – License fee revenue is derived from the licensing of computer software. Maintenance revenue is derived from
software maintenance. Our software licenses are generally sold as part of an arrangement that includes maintenance and support.
The Company generally offers terms that require payment 30 – 45 days from invoicing. Provided that the Reseller: (i) assumes all
risk of the purchase, (ii) has the ability and obligation to pay regardless of receiving payment from the end user, and (iii) all other
revenue recognition criteria are met, license revenue from Resellers is recognized upon shipment of its product to vendors (“sell–
in basis”).
Revenue from license fees is recognized when notification of shipment to the end user has occurred, there are no significant
Company obligations with regard to implementation and the Company’s services are not considered essential to the functionality
of other elements of the arrangement.
· Maintenance – Revenue from maintenance and support arrangements is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the
maintenance and support arrangements.
· Hardware – Revenue is derived from sales of our automated carbon dioxide insufflation device. The device is sold and warrantied
exclusively through our distribution partner Ultrasound Technologies, Ltd. with the Company receiving a royalty on each unit
sold. Revenue is recognized as orders are satisfied and delivered by our supplier.
·
Services–consulting – Consulting revenue is earned over the period in which the Company provides the related services. The
Company recognizes consulting revenue as it meets the terms of the underlying contract on the terms of the agreement.
48
· Gaming fees – Revenue represents income earned as entry fees for a daily fantasy sports contest and is presented net of any
bonus points applied by customers. Once a contest concludes, the Company recognizes the income earned as revenue.
· Advertising – Revenue is earned with certain advertising service providers for advertisements within our games and revenue from
these advertisers is generated through impressions, click–throughs, banner ads and offers. Revenue is recognized as
advertisements are delivered, an executed contract exists, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability has been reasonably
assured. Delivery generally occurs when the advertisement has been displayed or the offer has been completed by the user.
The Company incurs costs in connection with the development of software products that are intended for sale. Costs incurred prior
to technological feasibility being established for the product are expensed as incurred. Technological feasibility is established upon completion
of a detail program design or, in its absence, completion of a working model. Thereafter, all software production costs are capitalized and
subsequently reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalized costs are amortized based on current and future
revenue for each product with an annual minimum equal to the straight–line amortization over the remaining estimated economic life of the
product. Amortization commences when the product is available for general release to customers.
The Company concluded that capitalizing such expenditures on completion of a working model was inappropriate because the
Company did not incur any material software production costs and therefore expenses were all research and development costs. Our research
and development costs are comprised of staff, consultancy and other costs expensed on our products.
Advertising costs
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively, the Company
recognized $70 and $nil in advertising costs.
Equity–based compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense for all equity–based payments in accordance with ASC 718 “Share-based
payments". 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 Company. These awards are restricted as to the transfer of ownership and
generally vest over the requisite service periods, typically over an eighteen 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 Company stock on the grant date
The fair value of 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 input into the model. These assumptions are the expected stock
volatility, the risk–free interest rate, the option’s expected life and the dividend yield on the underlying stock. Expected volatility is calculated
based on the historical volatility of our Common Stock over the expected option life and other appropriate factors. Risk–free interest rates are
calculated based on continuously compounded risk–free rates for the appropriate term. The dividend yield is assumed to be zero as the
Company has never paid or declared any cash dividends on our Common Stock and does not intend to pay dividends on our Common Stock
in the foreseeable future. The expected forfeiture rate is estimated based on historical experience.
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. As a result, if factors
change and the Company uses different assumptions, our equity–based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In
addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and recognize expense only for those shares expected to vest. If our
actual forfeiture rate is materially different from our estimate, the equity–based compensation expense could be significantly different from
what the Company has recorded in the current period.
The Company accounts for share–based payments granted to non–employees in accordance with ASC 505, “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 reliably measurable. 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.
Foreign currency translation
Prior to June 30, 2012, the accounts of the Company were maintained using GBP as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities
were translated into U.S. dollars at period–end exchange rates, and income and expense accounts were translated at average monthly exchange
rates. Net gains and losses from foreign currency translations were excluded from operating results and were accumulated as a separate
component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are reflected in selling, general and administrative
expenses in the income statement.
49
Effective June 30, 2012, in connection with the closing of the Medicsight UK office at quarter end June 2012, and the final transfer
of all operations to the U.S., along with MGT’s proceeds from the sale of $3.5 million of convertible notes on June 1, 2012, the Company
reassessed the functional currency designation and as a result of the aforementioned activities, determined to prospectively change the
functional currency from the previous local currency, GBP to the U.S. dollar. Under ASC 830–10 “Foreign Currency Matters” when the
functional currency changes from a foreign currency to the reporting currency, translation adjustments for prior periods shall remain in
accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) and the translated amounts for non–monetary assets at the end of the prior period become the
accounting basis for those assets in the period of the change and the subsequent periods.
Income taxes
The Company applies the elements of ASC 740–10 “Income Taxes — Overall” regarding accounting for uncertainty in income
taxes. This clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements and requires the impact of a tax position
to be recognized in the financial statements if that position is more likely than not of being sustained by the taxing authority. As of December
31, 2013, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does not expect that the amount of unrecognized tax
benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties
related to tax matters in the income tax provision in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There was no interest and penalties for the
years ended December 31, 2013, and 2012. Tax years beginning in 2010 are generally subject to examination by taxing authorities, although
net operating losses from all years are subject to examinations and adjustments for at least three years following the year in which the attributes
are used.
Deferred taxes are computed based on the tax liability or benefit in future years of the reversal of temporary differences in the
recognition of income or deduction of expenses between financial and tax reporting purposes. The net difference, if any, between the provision
for taxes and taxes currently payable is reflected in the balance sheet as deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets and/or liabilities, if any, are
classified as current and non–current based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting purposes, or based on the
expected reversal date for deferred taxes that are not related to an asset or liability. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax
assets to that amount which is more likely than not to be realized.
Our effective tax rate for fiscal year 2013, and 2012, was (0)% and (0)%, respectively. The difference in the Company’s effective tax
rate from the Federal statutory rate is primarily due to a 100% valuation allowance provided for all deferred tax assets.
Comprehensive income / (loss)
Comprehensive income/(loss) includes net income/(loss) and items defined as other comprehensive income / (loss). Items defined as
other comprehensive income/(loss), include foreign currency translation adjustments and are separately classified in the consolidated financial
statements. Such items are reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss
Loss per share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders
by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the
period. Potential dilutive securities, comprised of the convertible Preferred Stock, unvested restricted shares and stock options, are not
reflected in diluted net loss per share because such shares are anti–dilutive.
The computation of diluted loss per share for the year ending December 31, 2013, excludes 9,413 shares in connection to the
convertible Preferred Stock, 920,825 warrants and 52,677 unvested restricted shares, as they are anti–dilutive due to the Company’s net loss.
For the year ending December 31, 2012, 1,394,766 common shares in connection to convertible Preferred Stock, 4,038,753 warrants and
314,669 unvested restricted shares, are excluded because they are anti–dilutive due to the Company’s loss.
Segment reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is
evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision–making group in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance. Our chief operating decision–making group is composed of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer. We operate in
four operational segments, Medicsight Software/Devices, Medicsight Services, Gaming and Intellectual Property. MGT Gaming is now
referred to as Intellectual Property. Gaming is a new segment for the current year. Certain corporate expenses are not allocated to segments.
Recent accounting pronouncements
There are no recent accounting pronouncements that are expected to have an effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 3. Asset purchases and acquisitions of businesses
Digital Angel
On May 2, 2013, the Company purchased certain mobile game application assets from Digital Angel Corporation. The purchase
price consisted of a cash payment in the amount of $136 and 50,000 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock with an aggregate fair
value of $202 as of the date this transaction was completed. The Company determined the acquisition constitutes a purchase of assets in
accordance with the guidance of ASC 805 “Business Combinations”.
The following table summarizes the Company’s allocation of the purchase price to the separable components of the mobile
applications based on their relative fair values at the date the purchase was completed.

On May 20, 2013, the Company acquired 63% of the outstanding membership interests of FanTD in exchange for an aggregate
purchase of $3,220 consisting of 600,000 shares of MGT Common Stock at a fair value of $5.03 per share for a total of $3,018 and a cash
payment of $202. The fair value of the 37% non–controlling interest retained by the sellers in this transaction amounted to $1,882.
The Company recorded the purchase of FanTD using the acquisition method of accounting as specified in ASC 805 “Business
Combinations.” This method of accounting requires the acquirer to (i) record purchase consideration issued to sellers in a business
combination at fair value on the date control is obtained, (ii) determine the fair value of any non–controlling interest, and (iii) allocate the
purchase consideration to all tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their acquisition date fair values. Further,
the Company commenced reporting the results of FanTD on a consolidated basis with those of the Company effective upon the date of the
acquisition.

On July 23, 2013, MGT Sports acquired certain assets from Daily Joust, Inc. The purchase price consisted of a cash payment of $50
for $136 in customer deposits and assumption of a $136 customer liability.
Real Deal Poker
On September 3, 2013, the Company entered into a Contribution and Sale Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) by and among
the Company, Gioia Systems, LLC (“Gioia”) and MGT Interactive whereby MGT Interactive acquired certain assets from Gioia, the inventor
the Company, Gioia Systems, LLC (“Gioia”) and MGT Interactive whereby MGT Interactive acquired certain assets from Gioia, the inventor
and owner of a proprietary method of card shuffling for the online poker market. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, Gioia contributed
the assets to MGT Interactive in exchange for a 49% interest in MGT Interactive and MGT contributed $200 to MGT Interactive in exchange
for a 51% interest in MGT Interactive. The $200 contributed by the Company will be utilized as working capital to cover the direct and
associated costs relating to the achievement of a certification from Gaming Laboratories International (“GLI”). The Company has the right to
acquire an additional 14% ownership interest in MGT Interactive from Gioia in exchange for a purchase price of $300 after GLI certification is
obtained. Gioia, in turn, will have the right to re–acquire the 14% interest for a period of three years at a purchase price of $500. Gioia has the
right to certain royalty payments from the gross rake payments, and any licensing or royalty income received by MGT Interactive.
51
Simultaneously with the entry into the Contribution Agreement, the Company and Gioia entered into a Limited Liability Company
Agreement which serves as the operating agreement for MGT Interactive, and a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with
Gioia to provide services to the Company primarily related to obtaining GLI Certification. The Consulting Agreement terminates on the earlier
of January 31, 2014 or the date on which GLI Certification is obtained. In the event that GLI Certification is obtained prior to January 31,
2013, the Consulting Agreement shall be extended for an additional year. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, Gioia will receive a monthly
consulting fee of $10 of which $5 is paid in cash per month and $5 is deferred until GLI certification is obtained. The Company expensed
$179 for Fiscal 2013. Testing concluded on January 29, 2014, and GLI reported random behavior suitable for the applications that were
analyzed. The Company is discussing with GLI the final steps to certification.
Avcom
On November 26, 2013, the Company closed on an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) with MGT Capital
Solutions, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Avcom, Inc. and the shareholders and option holders of Avcom, Inc. (“Avcom”).
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of Avcom. In consideration, the Preferred Stockholders of
Avcom received $550 in value of the Company’s Common Stock and the Common Stockholders and option holders of Avcom will receive an
aggregate of $1,000 in value of the Company’s Common Stock. The value of the Company’s Common Stock is based on the closing price on
signing the Agreement.
One half of the issuance to the Avcom Common Stockholders and option holders was placed in escrow and will be released upon
the later of (i) the commercial release of an agreed upon game or (ii) six (6) months after closing. In addition, the Common Stockholders may
be awarded contingent consideration of $1.0 million through the issuance of up to 333,000 of the Company’s Common Stock in the event that
the game reaches $3.0 million in gross revenues within 18 months of signing the Agreement. Although the Company is currently evaluating
the accounting treatment of the Agreement, the Company believes that the acquisition will constitute a “Significant Acquisition” for accounting
purposes.
Prior to entering into the Agreement, Avcom had performed certain game development consulting services for the Company for
which Avcom received an aggregate of $146 as consideration for such services.
The Company recorded the purchase of Avcom using the acquisition method of accounting as specified in ASC 805 “Business
Combinations.” This method of accounting requires the acquirer to (i) record purchase consideration issued to sellers in a business
combination at fair value on the date control is obtained, (ii) determine the fair value of any non–controlling interest, and (iii) allocate the
purchase consideration to all tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their acquisition date fair values. Further,
the Company commenced reporting the results of Avcom on a consolidated basis with those of the Company effective upon the date of the
acquisition.
The following tables summarizes the preliminary fair values of the net liabilities assumed and the allocation of the aggregate fair
value of the purchase consideration to assumed identifiable and unidentifiable intangible assets:

Goodwill represents the difference between purchase cost and the fair value of net assets acquired in business acquisitions. Indefinite
lived intangible assets, representing trademarks and trade names, are not amortized unless their useful life is determined to be finite. Long–
lived intangible assets are subject to amortization using the straight–line method. Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for
impairment annually as of December 31, 2013, and more often if a triggering event occurs, by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit
to its carrying value. The Company performed this impairment test and concluded that impairment did not exist as of December 31, 2013.

MGT Gaming
On May 11, 2012, the Company entered into a Contribution and Sale Agreement (the “Sale Agreement”) with J&S Gaming, Inc.
(“J&S”), and MGT Gaming for the acquisition of U.S. Patent #7,892,088, entitled “Gaming Device Having a Second Separate Bonusing
Event” (“the Patent”). Pursuant to the Sale Agreement, (i) J&S sold certain patents to MGT Gaming in exchange for 1,000 shares (constituting
100% ownership) of MGT Gaming Common stock, par value $0.001; (ii) the Company purchased from J&S 550 MGT Gaming Shares
constituting 55% ownership in exchange for $200 cash and a four (4) year warrant to purchase 350,000 shares of the Company’s Common
stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution provisions (the “Warrants”). The Patent was recorded at its
estimated fair value of $1,913 at the date of closing. Due to certain anti–dilution provisions, the J&S Warrants was recorded as a liability, and
consequently “marked–to–market” to the fair value at the end of each reporting period. On May 20, 2013, the Company modified the J&S
Warrant granted to eliminate the anti–dilution provision therein. The Company paid J&S Gaming $25 in cash as consideration for the
modification.
53
On May 20, 2013, the Company had 403,029 warrants outstanding with a fair value of $1,164 carried as a derivative liability. The
modification agreement allowed the Company to reclassify the $1,164 from a derivative liability into shareholders’ equity. In Fiscal 2013 the
Company recognized $363 of mark–to–market loss associated with this agreement.
Medicsight
On June 30, 2013, MGT closed the sale of its portfolio of medical imaging patents to Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd. (“Samsung”).
The Company had no prior relationship with Samsung. Gross proceeds of $1,500 was reduced by a broker commission of $501 paid to
Munich Innovation Group GmbH, foreign withholding tax of $248 and an escrow agent fee of $ 1 . The seller deposited $750 of proceeds
into a restricted cash account upon the completion of the sale of which $651 was released to the Company on July 3, 2013. The remaining $99
is retained escrow pending reclaim of the foreign withholding tax.

Note 6. Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
On November 2, 2012, the Company closed a private placement sale of 1,380,362 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
(“Preferred Stock”), (including 2,760,724 warrants to purchase MGT Common Stock) for an aggregate of $4.5 million. This transaction was
approved by the Exchange on October 26, 2012. The Preferred Stock is convertible into the Company's Common Stock at a fixed price
of $3.26 per share and carries a 6% dividend. The warrants have a five–year life and are exercisable at $3.85 per share. Total issuance cost for
this private placement for the year ended December 31, 2012, was $88.
Significant terms of the Preferred Stock, as specified in the Certificate of Designation are as follows:
Cash maintenance
The Company shall maintain a cash balance of at least $2,000 as long as at least 345,092 shares of Preferred Stock remains
outstanding. In February and March 2013, 241,748 and 30,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were
converted into 241,748 and 30,000 shares, of the Company’s Common Stock, respectively. In April 2013, 1,123,809 shares of the Preferred
Stock were converted into 1,125,763 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, which included 1,954 shares of accrued interest on the
Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, 9,413 and 1,380,362 shares of the Preferred Stock remained outstanding.
With fewer than 345,012 shares of Preferred Stock outstanding, the Company is no longer subject to the Cash Maintenance
provision of the Purchase Agreement under which the Preferred Stock was originally sold in October 2012.
Conversion option
At any time and from time to time on or after the Effective Date, the Preferred Stock shall be convertible (in whole or in part), at the
option of the Holder, into such number of fully paid and non–assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (x) the
aggregate Stated Value of $3.26 per shares (“Stated Value”) of Preferred Stock that are being converted plus any accrued but unpaid dividends
thereon as of such date that the Holder elects to convert by (y) the Conversion Price ($3.26) then in effect on the date (the “Conversion Date”).
For the year ending December 31, 2013 1,406,747 of Preferred were converted into 1,406,747 shares of MGT Common Stock. For
the year ending December 31, 2012, no share of Preferred were converted to MGT Common Stock.
54
Dividends
The Preferred Stock shall pay a six percent (6%) annual dividend on the outstanding Preferred Stock, payable quarterly on March
31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year (the “Dividend Date”), with the first dividend payable for the period commencing
on the Issuance Date. The Company has the option to pay each quarterly dividend in cash or additional shares of Preferred Stock (the
"Dividend Shares").
For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, the Company issued 21,394 and 14,404 Dividend Shares, in
connection with this Preferred Stock dividend.
Liquidation preference
Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, each holder of
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, for each share thereof, a preferential amount in cash equal to (and not more than) the Stated Value
(the “Liquidation Amount”) plus all accrued and unpaid dividends.
The Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation and Warrant agreement (“Warrants”) each contain a fundamental transactions clause
that provides for the conditional redemption of these instruments under certain circumstances that are not within the Company’s sole control.
Management has therefore concluded that the Preferred Stock requires temporary equity classification in accordance with ASC 480–10–S99
“Accounting for Redeemable Equity Instruments” at its allocated value and the warrants require classification at fair value. When the Preferred
Stock and Warrants were issued, the fair value of the Warrants exceeded the proceeds received from the sale and issuance of the Preferred
Stock and Warrants. The Warrants were recorded at their fair value and the excess over the proceeds received was recorded as a deemed
dividend. Changes in the fair value of the Warrants at each reporting date are included in the statement of operations. The carrying amount of
the Preferred Shares requires no further adjustment unless and until the conditional redemption events are probable. The Company does not
consider the conditional redemption events to be probable, as these events refer to fundamental change of control situations that do not
currently exist, in the opinion of management. Accordingly, management concluded that the conversion option embedded in the preferred
shares does not require bifurcation from the host contract, as the Preferred Stocks have the characteristics of a residual interest and therefore
are clearly and closely related to the Common Stocks issuable upon the exercise of the conversion option. Further, since the issuance date fair
value of the warrants exceeded the proceeds received from the sale and issuance of the Preferred Stock, accounting recognition of the
beneficial conversion feature was not required.
The warrants were recorded at fair value as of October 29, 2012 of $6,731 based upon the following Black Scholes Model (“BSM”)
to value warrants containing circumstances that are not within the Company’s sole control: risk free rate 0.760%; expected term five (5) years;
annual volatility 75.0%; exercise price $3.85, adjusted market value of $3.98 per share. The adjusted market value was determined based on
market conditions for our common shares, characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers. The Company
expects that our share price will continue to be more volatile for the indefinite future. The volatility is attributable to a several factors, most
notably the fact that our common shares are thinly traded. Share Price is one of the inputs needed to determine the fair value of derivative
instruments, as used in the BSM. The Company feels that the share price volatility would distort a BSM calculation is based on a single day’s
closing price, thereby dissuading us from utilizing the closing price on October 26, 2012. The Company has determined that a more
representative measurement would be to utilize an average of the daily weighted average stock price of the Company’s Common Stock for the
30 days prior to the deal close. This calculation minimizes the impact of specific daily news or market trading distortions caused by an
imbalance of orders on a single day.
On December 31, 2012, the warrants were re–measured at fair value of $6,364, based upon the following BSM inputs: risk free rate
0.760%; expected term five (5) years; annual volatility 75.0%; exercise price $3.85, closing stock price of $3.86. The Company recorded a
gain of $365, caused by the change in fair value of its derivative liability from inception through December 31, 2012.
In connection with the sale of the Preferred Stock, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors
agreeing to file a registration statement within 60 days of the closing and to have the registration statement declared effective within 150 days
of the closing if the registration statement is not subject to a full review and within 180 days of the closing if the registration statement is
subject to a full review. The Company filed a Registration Statement (Registrant No. 333–185284) with the SEC on November 30, 2012,
which was declared effective on January 11, 2013.
On April 26, 2013, the Company made an offer to the holders of the Company’s $3.85 Common Stock Purchase Warrants issued on
October 29, 2012 (the “Warrants”), providing if such holders exercised one Warrant, they would have the right to exchange up to two
additional Warrants for 5/8ths per share of Common Stock per Warrant exchanged. The results of the offer were that holders of 715,742
Warrants elected to exercise their Warrants. The Warrants had a fair value of $1,680 carried as a derivative liability on the exercise date. The
Warrants were fair valued based upon the following Black Scholes Model (“BSM”): risk free rate 0.68 % – 0.85 %; expected term five (4.44)
years; annual volatility 75%; exercise price $3.85, market value of $3.90 – $4.27 per share. The exercise of the Warrants allowed the Company
to reclassify $1,680 from derivative liability into shareholders’ equity. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company
recognized $30 and $557 mark–to–market loss associated to this agreement.
55
On May 20, 2013, the Company entered into Warrant Waiver Agreements with four holders of Warrants who collectively held more
than 60 % of the Warrants, which per the original Warrants, triggers the modification of all Warrants in the series. The modification addresses
the ability of warrant holders to redeem the Warrants for cash in a “Fundamental Transaction” as defined in the Warrant to provide that the
Warrant holders do not have the right to redeem the Warrants for cash in any Fundamental Transaction that is not approved by the Company’s
Board of Directors or that occurs in a transaction or as a result of an event that was not in the Company’s sole control. The modification
changes the accounting treatment of the Warrants. The Company committed to issue an aggregate of 162,460 shares of its Common Stock in
consideration for the modification. On September 27, 2013, at MGT’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders, stockholders approved a resolution
for the issuance of up to 162,460 shares of Common Stock (the “Modification Shares”) in consideration for the modification of certain
provisions contained in an aggregate of 2,044,982 warrants which modifications allowed the Company to treat such warrants as equity rather
than as a derivative liability. The shares were subsequently issued on October 8, 2013. The stock was valued at $598 using the closing market
price on September 27, 2013. On May 20, 2013, the Company had 2,044,982 warrants outstanding with a fair value of $6,525 carried as a
derivative liability. The warrants were fair valued based upon the following Black Scholes Model (“BSM”): risk free rate 0.850 %; expected
term five (4.44) years; annual volatility 75 %; exercise price $3.85, market value of $5.03 per share. The modification agreement allowed the
Company to reclassify the $6,525 from derivative liability into shareholders’ equity. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company
recognized $1,811 mark–to–market loss, respectively, associated with this agreement.
Note 7. Common Stock
On November 2, 2012, the Company closed a registered offering sale of 453,000 shares of MGT Common Stock for gross proceeds
of $1,364. The Common Stock was sold at $3.01 per share with a total of 453,000 shares sold, under its S–3 Registration Statement
(Registrant No. 333–182298), which was declared effective on September 25, 2012. Total issuance cost for this registered offering was $48.
All of the Investors represented that they were “accredited investors,” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under
the Securities Act, and the sale of the securities was made in reliance on exemptions provided by Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Note 8. Stock incentive plan and stock–based compensation
Stock incentive plan
The Company’s board of directors established the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) on April 15, 2012, and the Company’s
shareholders ratified the Plan at the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders on May 30, 2012. The Company has 415,000 shares of
Common Stock that are reserved to grant Options, Stock Awards and Performance Shares (collectively the “Awards”) to “Participants” under
the Plan. The Plan is administered by the board of directors or the Compensation Committee of the board of directors, which determines the
individuals to whom awards shall be granted as well as the type, terms and conditions of each award, the option price and the duration of each
award.
At the annual meeting of the stockholders of MGT held on September 27, 2013, stockholders approved an amendment to the Plan
(the “Amended and Restated Plan”) to increase the amount of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Amended and Restated
Plan to 1,335,000 shares from 415,000 shares, an increase of 920,000 shares and to add a reload feature.
Options granted under the Plan vest as determined by the Company’s Compensation and Nominations Committee and expire over
varying terms, but not more than seven years from date of grant. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a 10% shareholder
on the date of grant, such Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of grant. No option grants were issued
during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Issuance of restricted shares – directors, officers and employees
The Company in periods preceding January 1, 2013 made grants of restricted shares which vest one–third each six months from the
date of issue, except for a specific grant made on December 26, 2012, which vests three and eight months from the date of grant subject to the
attainment of certain performance conditions which were achieved in March 2013. The restricted shares are valued using the closing market
price on the date of grant, of which the share–based compensation expense is recognized over their vesting period. The unvested shares are
subject to forfeiture if the applicable recipient is not a director, officer and/or employee of the Company at the time the restricted shares are to
vest.
On September 30, 2013, 6,000 restricted shares were granted and issued to a certain employee. The restricted shares vest one–third
each six months from the date of issue.

Share–based compensation – non–employees
As a result of MGT’s acquisition of 63.12 % of FanTD LLC on May 20, 2013, the Company incurred $503 associated to the
issuance of 100,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for a consulting and marketing agreement. These shares were issued on June

On August 16, 2013, the Company entered into a consulting agreement for investor relation services for a period of six months. In
consideration for the services, the Company was paying $6 per month and 30,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Common
Stock vested over a six month period. In accordance with ASC 505–50–S99 “Equity – Based Payments to Non–Employees”, the Company
recognized the issuance over the vesting period. On November 27, 2013, the Company cancelled the agreement. For the year ended December
31, 2013, the Company issued 20,000 shares with a fair market value of $66 based on the closing market price for each of the vesting dates.
On November 12, 2013, the Company entered into a consulting agreement for investor relations media services for a period of three

Medicsight Ltd equity plan
On March 26, 2012, at Medicsight Ltd’s General Meeting, stockholders approved a resolution to effect a Reverse Split of the
Company’s existing ordinary shares of £0.05 par value per share into 1 new ordinary share of £16,250 par value per share and for MGT to
acquire all New Ordinary Shares representing the fractions of shares left over following the Reverse Split. The exchange ratio for the Reverse
Split was 1 for 325,000. As a result of the Reverse Split, stockholders holding fewer than 325,000 shares were cancelled and not entitled to a
cash payment for fractional shares.
Following Medicsight’s general meeting on March 26, 2012, a shareholder resolution approving the Reverse Split of 1–for–325,000
of the Company’s existing ordinary shares of £0.05 par value into one new ordinary share was duly passed. As a result of the reverse split,
option holders under certain existing share option plans are no longer entitled to options under those plans as option holders’ share entitlement
is now less than one as a result of the Reverse Split. Following the share reversal, the Company cancelled with immediate effect all redundant
option plans with the exception of Plan J. All previously unrecognized stock based compensation expense of $32 was accelerated during the
year ended December 31, 2012.
On December 6, 2012, the Company initiated the process of dissolving the non–essential subsidiary of Medicsight Ltd. resulting in

Americas at book value if the Company does not purchase equity in M2P prior to April 2, 2014.
Any advances by the Company or its subsidiaries to M2P Americas will be considered a loan bearing interest at 4% per annum or
the applicable federal rate if greater. The Strategic Alliance Agreement has a term of 20 years.
Medicsight Ltd
On March 26, 2012, at Medicsight Ltd’s General Meeting, stockholders approved a resolution to effect a Reverse Split of the
Company’s existing ordinary shares of £0.05 par value per share into 1 new ordinary share of £16,250 par value per share and for MGT to
acquire all New Ordinary Shares representing the fractions of shares left over following the Reverse Split. The exchange ratio for the Reverse
Split was 1 for 325,000. As a result of the Reverse Split, stockholders holding fewer than 325,000 shares were cancelled and not entitled to a
cash payment for fractional shares. As of March 26, 2012, MGT held 318 shares (66.5%) of the 478 issued share capital of Medicsight Ltd.
Subsequent to March 26, 2012, and through December 31, 2012, MGT acquired an additional 160 shares of Medicsight Ltd’s
ordinary shares, 67 ordinary shares were acquired for cash consideration of $51 and 93 ordinary shares were acquired in exchange for 93,000
shares of the Company’s Common Stock with a fair value of $418. On December 6, 2012 at Medicsight Ltd’s General Meeting, the
stockholders approved a resolution to effect a Reverse Split of Medicsight Ltd’s remaining shares at an exchange rate of 1 for 25. As a result,
stockholders holding fewer than 25 shares at the time of the reversal received a cash payment of $16, in lieu of fractional shares and no longer
had an interest in Medicsight Ltd. As a result of the purchase of additional shares and the reverse split, as of December 6, 2012, MGT held
100% of the issued share capital of Medicsight Ltd.
The Company filed an application to the Registrar of Companies under s1003 of the Companies Act 2006 for Medicsight Ltd’s
dissolution. As a part of the dissolution of this non–essential subsidiary, Medicsight Ltd assigned its intellectual property to Medicsight, Inc.
and its ownership in Medicsight, Inc. to MGT.
Note 10. Segment reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is
evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision–making group in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance. Our chief operating decision–making group is composed of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer. We operate in
four operational segments, Medicsight Software/Devices, Medicsight Services, Gaming and Intellectual Property. MGT Gaming is now
referred to as Intellectual Property. Gaming is a new segment for the current year. Certain corporate expenses are not allocated to segments.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (Note 2).
We evaluate performance of our operating segments based on revenue and operating (loss). Segment information as of December 31, 2013,

Note 11. Operating leases, commitments and security deposits
Operating leases
In January 2012, the Company had a $13 monthly office lease payment. In February 2012, the Company moved to a smaller office in
the same location with month–to–month rental payments of $4 and a rental deposit of $6. On April 30, 2012, we terminated our UK lease
effective June 30, 2012.
In September 2011, the Company entered into a 39–month lease agreement for office space located in Harrison, New York,
terminating on November 30, 2014. Under the agreement our total rental payments over the 39–month lease period are $240, inclusive of three
months of free rent and a refundable rental deposit of $39, held in a restricted cash account.
In May 2013, the Company assumed a 24–month lease agreement for office space located in Saratoga Springs, New York
terminating on October 31, 2014. Under the agreement our total rental payments over the lease period are $2, and a security deposit of $2.
In January 2014, the Company entered into a six–month lease agreement for temporary office space due to the Avcom acquisition
located in New York, NY, terminating on June 30, 2014. Under the agreement our total rental payments over the lease period are $3, and a
security deposit of $3.
A satellite office in Tokyo, Japan, was closed in January 2012, and the rental deposit of $128 was refunded to us.
The following is a schedule of the future minimum payments required under operating leases in the aggregate and for each
subsequent year through lease maturity:

Commitments
Consulting agreements
On October 26, 2012, the Company entered into a one–year financial advisory and consulting agreement with a national investment–
banking firm. Compensation under the agreement includes cash consideration of $250 and 120,000 shares of restricted Common Stock. Under
the terms of the agreement, there are no penalties or liabilities to the Company if approval is not received. Issuances of restricted Common
Stock to service providers as compensation for services are subject to shareholder approval. These shares were subsequently issued on
September 4, 2013, (2012: None.). The stock was valued at $504, the closing market price on that date. For the year ended December 31,
2013, the Company expensed $188 in cash and $504 in stock consideration (2012: $42 and $nil respectively).
In November 2012, in connection with the sale of the Preferred Stock, the Company was required to enter into investor/public
relations service agreements, with terms of seven, ten and twelve months. Compensation under the agreements included cash consideration of
$444, the issuance of 100,000 shares of Preferred Stock and 400,000 warrants to purchase MGT Common Stock. Issuance of Preferred Stock
and warrants to service providers as compensation for services are subject to shareholder and NYSE MKT approval. No shares were
approved or issued as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. Under the terms of the agreements, there are no penalties or liabilities to the Company
if approval is not received.
The twelve–month agreement was mutually terminated in January 2013, and the stock consideration still owed under the agreement
was further renegotiated on May 3, 2013, to replace the issuance of 100,000 shares of Preferred Stock and 200,000 warrants to purchase
MGT Common Stock with the issuance of 50,000 shares of Restricted Common Stock, subject to NYSE MKT exchange approval. These
shares were subsequently issued on September 4, 2013. The stock was valued at $206, using the closing market price on that date.
On May 3, 2013, the seven–month agreement was mutually terminated, reducing the future cash consideration due by $20 in
consideration of having a month–to–month service agreement for $15 per month. This agreement was cancelled in August 2013.
The ten–month agreement terminated in accordance with its terms on September 19, 2013, however, because the obligation to meet
the timeframe contemplated and the issuance of the Warrant was never made, management determined it was in the best interest of the
Company to enter into a settlement regarding the Warrant issuance. On December 2, 2013, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement
(the “Settlement Agreement”). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, both parties agreed to the following: (i) the Company’s obligation to
grant the Warrant and to issue the underlying Common Stock, and Century’s right to receive the Warrant and the underlying Common Stock is
cancelled, (ii) Century will make a cash payment to the Company of $100 and (iii) the Company will issue to Century 100,000 shares of
Common Stock subject to NYSE MKT exchange approval. Proceeds under the Settlement Agreement were received December 10, 2013. The
shares were issued on December 26, 2013 and valued at $301, using the closing market price on that date. The Company recorded $201 of
expense and $100 of cash proceeds related to the issuance.
61
For the years ended December 31, 2013, the Company paid $415 in cash consideration (2012: $113), and recognized $911 (2012:
$nil) of stock–based expense relating to the agreements.
Haller agreements
On September 30, 2013, the Company and Michael Haller (“Haller”) agreed to terminate the June 1, 2013, Employment Agreement
between the Company and Haller. In addition, the Company agreed to license certain intellectual property obtained from Digital Angel
Corporation to Gammaker Pty. Ltd (“Gammaker”), a Singapore entity controlled by Haller in exchange for a 10% share of the gross revenues
generated by Gammaker on such licensed assets. The Company also sold to Haller certain trademarks owned by the Company for
consideration of $6, which was received on October 17, 2013.

As it is not more likely than not that the resulting deferred tax benefits will be realized, a full valuation allowance has been recognized
for such deferred tax assets. Federal and state laws impose substantial restrictions on the utilization of tax attributes in the event of an
“ownership change,” as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Currently, the Company does not expect the utilization of tax
attributes in the near term to be materially affected as no significant limitations are expected to be placed on these tax attributes as a result of
previous ownership changes. If an ownership change is deemed to have occurred as a result of equity ownership changes or offerings,
potential near term utilization of these assets could be reduced.
The provision for/(benefit from) income tax differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to
income before the provision for/(benefit from) income taxes. The sources and tax effects of the differences are as follows for the year ended

Note 13. Related party transactions
FanTD – loan payable to FanTD members
The Company had a loan payable to certain founding members of FanTD. The loan served to temporarily assist with FanTD’s
operating expenditures. The loan was interest–free and payable on demand no later than December 31, 2013. On October 29, 2013 and
November 18, 2013, the Company paid $50 and $50, respectively towards the outstanding balance. The outstanding balance as of December
31, 2013 was $nil.
Note 14. Fair value of financial instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825–10–50–10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of
its financial instruments and paragraph 820–10–35–37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820–10–35–37”) to
measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820–10–35–37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase
consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820–10–35–37 establishes a fair value hierarchy
which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the
highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable
inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820–10–35–37 are described below:
Level 1
Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2
Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly
observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3
Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow
methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and
the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level
described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts
payable and accrued expenses, accrued dividends and unearned convention revenue approximate their fair value because of the short maturity
of those instruments. The Company’s convertible Preferred Stock and warrants approximate the fair value of such instruments based upon
management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements at December 31, 2013,
and 2012.
The Company uses Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy to measure the fair value of the derivative liabilities and revalues its derivative
warrant liability at every reporting period and recognizes gains or losses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive
income (loss) that are attributable to the change in the fair value of the derivative warrant liability.

Note 15. Convertible note and warrant
On May 24, 2012, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with Hudson Bay Fund Ltd. (the
“Investor”). The SPA provided for the purchase of an 18 month promissory note (the “Senior Secured Convertible Note” or the “Note”)
convertible into up to 1,166,667 shares of Company Common Stock at a conversion price of $3.00 per share and a warrant (the “Hudson Bay
Warrant” or the “HB Warrant”) to purchase up to 875,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share for proceeds of
$3,500 (the “Hudson Bay Transaction”). The HB Warrant is exercisable at the option of the holder at a $3.00 per share exercise price and the
Company can require exercise if the Weighted Average Price of the Company’s Common Stock equals or exceeds 250% of the exercise price
for no less than twenty (20) Trading Days during any thirty (30) consecutive Trading Day period occurring following the issuance date, as
such terms are defined in the HB Warrant. The HB Warrant exercise price is subject to adjustment in the case of combination or subdivision of
stock or in the event of the granting of any stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features. The Note
allows for payment of Common Stock in lieu of cash interest payments due pursuant to the Note.
In connection with the Hudson Bay Transaction, MGT issued 75,000 shares of Restricted Common Stock to Chardan Capital
Markets, LLC (“Chardan”) and certain affiliates of Chardan in consideration of investment banking services rendered. Stockholder approval
was obtained for the issuance of 75,000 shares of Restricted Common Stock to Chardan. The restricted Common Stock was recorded at fair
market value of $315 at the date of closing and was issued on August 9, 2012.
Financing and issuance costs totaling $688 were incurred in connection with the issuance of the Note and HB Warrants. These costs
include legal and placement fees, including the issuance of the 75,000 shares of restricted Common Stock. The total costs were allocated based
on relative fair values to deferred financing costs in the amount of $588 and HB Warrant issuance costs of $100. Deferred financing costs are
amortized through periodic charges to non–operating expense over the 18 month period from the date of issuance to the date the Note is due
using the effective interest method. Amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2013, and 2012, was $nil and $125, respectively.
The debt to equity conversion feature embedded in the Note was evaluated to determine if such conversion feature should be
bifurcated from its host instrument and accounted for as a free standing derivative. The Company determined that the conversion feature did
not need to be bifurcated. The fair value of the beneficial conversion feature was calculated to be $500 after adjusting the effective conversion
price for the fair value of the HB Warrants issued, recognized as an increase of additional paid–in capital and a discount to the convertible note.
The discount to the convertible note payable is accreted through periodic charges to other non–operating expense over the 18 month period
from the date of issuance to the date the Note is due using the effective interest method.
The fair value of the HB Warrant was estimated on the date of issuance, June 1, 2012, using a closed–formula option pricing method
for barrier–type options that took into account the terms of the option rights of the holder and also the Company’s mandatory exercise option,
which is consistent with using a Monte Carlo option pricing method. The options pricing methods used the following input assumptions:
expected stock price volatility 75.0%; warrant term five (5) years; risk–free rate of 0.80%; dividend yield 0.0%. As the trading volume of the
Company’s publicly traded shares was approximately 30,000 per day and the issuable shares under the Note and HB warrant were over 2.0
million, and further because these issuable shares had not yet been registered for public sale at the issuance date, the price of the underlying
shares was discounted approximately 30% for options pricing purposes. The fair value of the total HB warrants issued, given the terms of the
HB Warrant agreement, was determined to be $500. The HB warrant fair value was recognized as an increase of additional paid–in capital and
a discount to the convertible note. The discount to the convertible note payable is accreted through periodic charges to other non–operating
expense over the 18 month period from the date of issuance to the date the Note is due using the effective interest method.
The beneficial conversion feature and the HB warrant discount accretion expense for the years ending December 31, 2013, and 2012,
was $nil and $199, respectively.
The estimates discussed above require us to make assumptions based on historical results, observance of trends in our stock price,
future expectations and other relevant risk factors. If other assumptions had been used, the HB Warrant valuation as calculated and recorded
under the accounting guidance could have been affected.
Volatility is a key factor in option pricing models. For purposes of determining expected volatility, the Company used significant
judgment to identify a peer group. The historical volatility of the Company’s own Common Stock was not deemed pertinent to the estimate,
because of the recent change in the Company’s operations and business plan. The risk–free rate for the period coincides with the expected life
of the HB Warrants and is based on the U.S. Treasury Department yield curve in effect at time of closing.
64
On October 9, 2012, the Company executed two identical exchange agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”) settling the
outstanding Note for a cash payment of $3.5 million and 100,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock valued at $415, using the opening
price of the Company’s Common Stock on October 9, 2012. The net carrying amount of the Note on the date of extinguishment was $2,698
which was comprised of the amount due at maturity of $3,500 less unamortized debt discount of $802 related to the amount allocated to the
warrants and the beneficial conversion feature at issuance. The total reacquisition price of $3,915 was allocated first to the repurchased
beneficial conversion feature by recording a reduction of additional paid–in capital of $1,341 measured as the intrinsic value of that conversion
feature at the extinguishment date with the residual amount of the reacquisition price of $2,574 allocated to the Note. The difference between
the reacquisition price allocated to the Note and the net carrying amount of the Note resulted in a gain of $124 which when netted with the
write off of unamortized deferred financing costs of $462 and legal cost of $17, at extinguishment resulted in a total loss on extinguishment of
$355. Extinguishment of debt, gains and losses, including fees, incurred in connection with the early extinguishment of debt are charged to
current earnings as reductions in non–operating expenses.
For the years ending December 31, 2013 and 2012, interest expense on the convertible note was $nil and $93, respectively.
