Cryptocurrency miningLaFayette, Georgia.

 

Current Operations

 

Cryptocurrency mining

MGT conducts cryptocurrency activities at a company-owned and managed Bitcoin mining facility in LaFayette, Georgia. Located adjacent to a utility substation, the several-acre property has access to about 20 megawatts (MW) of electrical power, half of which is presently utilized by the Company. Business activities are comprised of self-mining operations and leasing space to third parties.

 

As of March 31, 20222023 and May 13, 2022,15, 2023, the Company owned 430 S17 Antminer Pro (“S17 miners”) and 3735 Antminer S19 Pro Bitcoin miners. All miners are located at our Georgia facility. Over three-quarters of theDue to unfavorable mining economics and various required repairs, all S17 miners require various repairs to be productive. We are in the process of selling our remaining S17 miners, as well aswere non-operational at December 31, 2022, and were exchanged along with loose hash boards, power supplies, and controller boards and other parts.

In addition to its self-mining operations,for the Company leases its owned space to other Bitcoinmore efficient S19 miners and also provides hosting services for ownersin the first quarter of mining equipment. These measures improve utilization of the electrical infrastructure and better insulate us against the volatility of Bitcoin mining.2023.

 

MGT’s miners are housed in a modified shipping container on the Company’s owned property in Georgia. The entire facility, including the land and improvements, five 2500 KVA 3-phase transformers, three mining containers, and miners, are owned by MGT. We continue to explore ways to grow and maintain our current operations including but not limited to further potential equipment sales and raising capital to acquire the newest generation miners. The Company is also investigating other sites to develop into Bitcoin mining facilities in addition to expansion at its current property.

Leasing operations

In addition to its self-mining operations, the Company leases its owned space to other Bitcoin miners and also provides hosting services for owners of mining equipment. These measures improve utilization of the electrical infrastructure and better insulate us against the volatility of Bitcoin mining.

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10–Q and Rule 8 of Regulation S–X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, in the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results have been included in these statements. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021,2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 2022.2023. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 20222023 and 20212022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2022.2023.

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

TheWhile COVID-19 pandemicstill occurs in the United States, it has disrupted and may continueessentially receded as a serious threat to disrupt our operations and those of our vendors, suppliers and other third parties on which we rely, and we may not be able to obtain new miners or replacement parts for our existing miners in a timely or cost-effective manner, which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

economy. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our operations or our ability to obtain financing will depend on future developments which are uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new informationpredicted.

Inflation

Electricity and other prices are vulnerable to inflation which may emerge concerningincrease the severityCompany’s mining costs and operating expenses including the cost of COVID-19 and the actions taken by governments and private businesses to contain COVID-19 to treat its impact, among others. If the disruptions posed by COVID-19 continue for an extended period of time, financial markets may not be available to the Company for raising capital in order to fund future growth. Should the Company not be able to obtain financing in the amounts necessary or under terms which are economically feasible, we may be required to reduce planned future growth and/or the scope of our operations.new state-of-the-art miners.

 

Note 2. Going Concern and Management’s Plans

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2022,2023, the Company had incurred significant operating losses since inception and continues to generate losses from operations. As of March 31, 2022,2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $421,446429,704. As of March 31, 20222023 MGT’s cash and cash equivalents were $633317.

 

The Company will require additional funding to grow its operations. Further, depending upon operational profitability, the Company may also need to raise additional funding for ongoing working capital purposes. There can be no assurance however that the Company will be able to raise additional capital as and when needed, or at terms deemed acceptable, if at all. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital is impacted by, among other things, the volatility of Bitcoin mining economics, inflation and high interest rates, the banking crisis, the war in Ukraine, the market for Bitcoin, regulatory developments with respect to cryptocurrencies generally, and the SEC’s ongoing enforcement action against our Chief Executive Officer, botheach of which are highly uncertain, cannot be predicted, and could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition.

 

5

Since January 2021,2022, the Company has secured working capital through the issuance of a convertible note, the sale of equity and warrants, and the sale of assets.

 

Such factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to sustain operations for at least one year from the issuance of these unaudited condensed financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of estimates and assumptions and critical accounting estimates and assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and also affect the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for each period. Actual results could differ from those which result from using such estimates. Management utilizes various other estimates, including but not limited to determining the estimated lives of long-lived assets, stock compensation, determining the potential impairment of long-lived assets, the fair value of conversion features,warrants issued, the fair value of warrants issued, the recognition of revenue,conversion features, and the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and other legal claims and contingencies.assets. The results of any changes in accounting estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which the changes become evident. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary.

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on the age of outstanding invoices and management’s evaluation of collectability. Accounts are written off after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted and management concludes that likelihood of collection is remote. Any future recoveries are applied against the allowance for doubtful accounts. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we did not believe we needed to reserve for any doubtful accounts, respectively.

Cryptocurrencies

 

Cryptocurrencies, (including bitcoinBitcoin and bitcoin cash)Bitcoin Cash) are included in current assets in the accompanying balance sheets. Any cryptocurrencies purchased are recorded at cost and cryptocurrencies awarded to the Company through its mining activities are accounted for in connection with the Company’s revenue recognition policy disclosed in this note.

 

Cryptocurrencies held are accounted for as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, which is measured using the quoted price of the cryptocurrency at the time its fair value is being measured.

 

In testing for impairment, the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted.

 

Any purchases of cryptocurrencies by the Company are included within investing activities in the accompanying statements of cash flows, while cryptocurrencies awarded to the Company through its mining activities are included within operating activities on the accompanying statements of cash flows. The sales of cryptocurrencies are included within investing activities in the accompanying statements of cash flows and any realized gains or losses from such sales are included in other income (expense) in the statements of operations. The Company accounts for its gains or losses in accordance with the first in first out (FIFO) method of accounting.

Halving – The Bitcoin blockchain and the cryptocurrency reward for solving a block is subject to periodic incremental halving. Halving is a process designed to control the overall supply and reduce the risk of inflation in cryptocurrencies using a Proof-of-Work consensus algorithm. At a predetermined block, the mining reward is cut in half, hence the term “Halving.” A Halving for bitcoin occurred on May 12, 2020, with a revised reward payout of 6.25 Bitcoin per block. Many factors influence the price of Bitcoin and potential increases or decreases in prices in advance of or following a future halving is unknown.

Leases

The Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases. Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases and are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as both a right of use asset and lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right of use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right of use asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses, if any, are recorded when incurred.

 

InvestmentDerivative Instruments

 

Available-for-sale securitiesDerivative financial instruments are carriedrecorded in the accompanying balance sheets at fair value. Realizedvalue in accordance with ASC 815. When the Company enters into a financial instrument such as a debt or equity agreement (the “host contract”), the Company assesses whether the economic characteristics of any embedded features are clearly and unrealized gainsclosely related to the primary economic characteristics of the remainder of the host contract. When it is determined that (i) an embedded feature possesses economic characteristics that are not clearly and losses, if any,closely related to the primary economic characteristics of the host contract, and (ii) a separate, stand-alone instrument with the same terms would meet the definition of a financial derivative instrument, then the embedded feature is bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative instrument. The estimated fair value of the derivative feature is recorded in the accompanying balance sheets separately from the carrying value of the host contract. Subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of derivatives are calculated onrecorded as a gain or loss in the specific identification method and are included in other income in theCompany’s statements of operations.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever facts or circumstances either internally or externally may suggest that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, should there be an indication of impairment, we test for recoverability by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset to the carrying amount of the asset or asset group. Any excess of the carrying value of the asset or asset group over its estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss.

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly as the company reviews financial information. The Company currently operates in the Digital Currency Blockchain segment with our mining facility located in the United States. The Company also provides hosting services which are also located in the United States. The Company has employees only in the United States and views its operations as one operating segment as management reviews financial information on a consolidated basis in making decisions regarding resource allocations and assessing performance.

Revenue recognition

 

Cryptocurrency mining

 

The Company recognizes revenue under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASC 606”). The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

 

 Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer
 Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract 
 Step 3: Determine the transaction price  
 Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract  
 Step 5: Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation  

 

In order to identify the performance obligations in a contract with a customer, a company must assess the promised goods or services in the contract and identify each promised good or service that is distinct. A performance obligation meets ASC 606’s definition of a “distinct” good or service (or bundle of goods or services) if both of the following criteria are met: The customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer (i.e., the good or service is capable of being distinct), and the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract (i.e., the promise to transfer the good or service is distinct within the context of the contract).

 

If a good or service is not distinct, the good or service is combined with other promised goods or services until a bundle of goods or services is identified that is distinct.

 

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. When determining the transaction price, an entity must consider the effects of all of the following:

 

 Variable consideration  
 Constraining estimates of variable consideration  
 The existence of a significant financing component in the contract  
 Noncash consideration  
 Consideration payable to a customer  

 

Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. The transaction price allocated to each performance obligation is recognized when that performance obligation is satisfied, at a point in time or over time as appropriate.

 

The Company has entered into digital asset mining pools by agreeing to terms and conditions, as may be amended from time to time, with the mining pool operators to provide computing power to the mining pool. The contracts are terminable at any time by either party and the Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when the Company provides computing power to the mining pool operator. In exchange for providing computing power to the mining pool, the Company is entitled to a fractional share of the fixed cryptocurrency award the mining pool operator receives (less digital asset transaction fees to the mining pool operator which are recorded as a component of cost of revenues), for successfully adding a block to the Blockchain. The terms of the agreement provide that neither party can dispute settlement terms after thirty-five35 days following settlement. The Company’s fractional share is based on the proportion of computing power the Company contributed to the mining pool operator to the total computing power contributed by all mining pool participants in solving the current algorithm.

 

Providing computing power to solve complex cryptographic algorithms in support of the Bitcoin Blockchain (in a process known as “solving a block”) is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The provision of providing such computing power is the only performance obligation in the Company’s agreements with mining pool operators. The transaction consideration the Company receives, if any, is noncash consideration in the form of digital assets, which the Company measures at fair value on the date received, which is not materially different than the fair value at contract inception or the time the Company has earned the award from the pools. The consideration is alltherefore variable. Because it is not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur, the consideration is constrained until the mining pool operator successfully places a block (by being the first to solve an algorithm) and the Company receives confirmation of the consideration it will receive, at which time revenue is recognized. There is no significant financing component in these transactions.

 

8

Fair value of the cryptocurrency award received is determined using the quoted price of the related cryptocurrency at the time of receipt. There is currently no specific definitive guidance under GAAP or alternative accounting framework for the accounting for cryptocurrencies recognized as revenue or held, and management has exercised significant judgment in determining the appropriate accounting treatment. In the event authoritative guidance is enacted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the Company may be required to change its policies, which could have an effect on the Company’s financial position and results from operations.

 

Hosting Revenues

 

We receive revenues from third parties renting capacity at our facility and from hosting miners owned by others. The Company recognized $192 86and $0 192from these sources during the three months ended March 31, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, two customers accounted for 68%100% and 23%91%, respectively, of hosting revenue.

 

Income taxes

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

Loss per share

 

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potential dilutive securities, comprised of unvested restricted shares, convertible debt convertible preferred stock, stockand warrants, and stock options, are not reflected in diluted net loss per share because such potential shares are anti–dilutive due to the Company’s net loss.

 

Accordingly, the computation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 20222023 excludes 63,416,941 691,073,030shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants.warrants and 342,277,865 shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible debt. The computation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 excludes 34,285,714 63,416,941shares issuable under convertible debt.upon the exercise of outstanding warrants.

 

Fair Value Measure and Disclosures

 

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” provides the framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

 

Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received upon the sale of an asset or payment to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:

 

 Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 Level 2 Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.
 Level 3 Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data.

 

As of March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the Company had a Level 3 financial instrumentinstruments related to the derivative liabilityliabilities related to the issuance of warrants.warrants and convertible debt.

 

Management’s evaluation of subsequent events

 

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. Based upon the review, other than what is described in Note 1211 – Subsequent Events, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed financial statements.

Reclassification

Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements, other than those disclosed below.

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASC 326). This standard replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. CECL requires an estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and generally applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities, and some off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded commitments to extend credit. Financial assets measured at amortized cost will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected by using an allowance for credit losses. In addition, CECL made changes to the accounting for available for sale debt securities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available for sale debt securities if management does not intend to sell and does not believe that it is more likely than not, they will be required to sell. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 – 40)” (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in U.S. GAAP. The ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2020-06 will have on its financial statements.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), (“ASU 2021-04”). This ASU reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. This ASU provides guidance for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that is not within the scope of another Topic. It specifically addresses: (1) how an entity should treat a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange; (2) how an entity should measure the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange; and (3) how an entity should recognize the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange. This ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. An entity should apply the amendments prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 on January 1, 2022 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed financial statements or disclosures.

Note 4. Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable balances of $306and $180as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, from customers using the Company’s miner hosting and facility rental services. One customer makes up 96% of this balance.

Note 7. Notes Payable

 

December 2020September 2022 Note

 

On December 8, 2020,September 12, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, pursuant to which itthe Company borrowed $1,335 and in exchange issued a secured convertible promissory note (the “December 2020“September 2022 Note”) in the principal amount of $2301,500 whichwith an original issue discount of $165. Any time prior to a change of control transaction, the September 2022 Note is convertible at the option of the holder, into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to 7030% of the lowest price for a shareoutstanding shares of the Company’s common stock duringon the ten trading days immediately preceding the applicable conversion.conversion date on a post-conversion basis (the “Conversion Shares”). The Company received consideration of $September 2022 Note matures 200December 31, 2023 for the convertible promissory note. The noteand bears interest at a rate of 86% per annumannum. The September 2022 Note provides for customary events of default, the occurrence of which would result in 110% the principal and matures in twelve months.

The Company determined thatother accrued amounts outstanding under the embedded conversion feature of the convertible promissory note meets the definition of a beneficial conversion featureSeptember 2022 Note to become immediately due and a derivative liability which is accounted for separately. The Company measured the beneficial conversion feature’s intrinsic value on December 8, 2020 and determined that the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $200 which was recorded as a debt discount, and togetherpayable, with the original issue discount of $30, in the aggregate of $230, is being amortized over the life of the loan. The Company measured the derivative liability’s fair value on December 8, 2020 and determined that the derivative liability was valued at $555 which exceeded the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature by $355 and resulted in the Company recording non-cash interest expense of $rate increasing to 35512%.

 

On June 15, 2021,At inception the holder converted $120 of principal into 4,761,905 shares of common stock valued at $238. AsCompany recorded a result of this conversion, $172 of derivative liability was settled, $86 unamortized debt discount was settledof $1,500 and $32was recordednon-cash interest as loss on settlementaccretion of debt.

On July 27, 2021, the holder converted the remaining $110 of principal and $11 of accrued interest into 6,673,384 shares of common stock valued at $280. As a result of this conversion, $153 of derivative liability was settled, $66 unamortized debt discount was settledof $5,324. During 2022, the Company recorded additional accretion of debt discount of $82, and $72 was recorded as loss on settlementthe total accretion of debt. As ofdebt discount for the year ended December 31, 2021, this note had 2022 was $no 5,406outstanding balance.

. During the three months ended March 2021 Note

On March 5, 2021,31, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Bucktown Capital, LLC (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the original principal amountrecorded accretion of debt discount of $13,210 (the “March 2021 Note”). The March 2021 Note was convertible, at the option of the Investor, into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to 70% of the lowest price for a share of common stock during the ten trading days immediately preceding the applicable conversion (the “Conversion Price”); provided, however, in no event was the Conversion Price to be less than $0.04 per share. The March 2021 Note bore interest at a rate of 8% per annum and will mature in twelve months123.

The March 2021 Note was to be funded in tranches, with the initial tranche of $1,210 funded on March 5, 2021 for consideration of $1,000. Six subsequent tranches (five tranches, each for $1,200 and one tranche for $6,000) were to be funded upon the notice of effectiveness of a Registration Statement on Form S-1 covering the common stock issuable in connection with the March 2021 Note. Further, the final tranche required the mutual agreement of the Company and Investor. Until such time as Investor funded the subsequent tranches, the Company would hold a series of Investor Notes that offset any unfunded portion of the March 2021 Note.

The Company determined that the embedded conversion feature of the convertible promissory note meets the definition of a beneficial conversion feature. The Company measured the beneficial conversion feature’s intrinsic value on March 5, 2021 and determined that the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $1,000 which was recorded as a debt discount, and together with the original issue discount of $210, in the aggregate of $1,210, is being amortized over the life of the loan.

As a result of the Company failing to meet certain registration requirements under the March 2021 Note, the outstanding balance of the March 2021 Note was automatically increased by 5% on each of July 5, 2021, August 5, 2021, and September 5, 2021 and as part of the exchange agreement an additional 5% on September 30, 2021, prior to the exchange. An additional $270 was recorded as outstanding principal, bringing the outstanding balance prior to the exchange to $1,481.

On September 30, 2021,Additionally, the Company enteredissued to the lender three series of warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”). Each of the Series of Warrants is exercisable into an exchange agreement with60% of the March 2021 Note holder under whichConversion Shares and has a term of three years. The Warrants have exercise prices as follows:

Series X Warrant, the lower of $0.02 and 120% of the closing price on the date of issuance;
Series Y Warrant, the lower of $0.04 and 150% of the closing price on the date of issuance; and
Series Z Warrant, the lower of $0.06 and 200% of the closing price on the date of issuance.

In addition to the warrants described above, the Company has previous warrants outstanding principal balance of $1,481whereby it cannot conclude that it has enough authorized and $60 of accrued interest were exchangedunissued shares to satisfy the settlement requirements for 53,500,000those already outstanding warrants. As a result, the equity environment would be considered tainted, and the conversion feature and the attached warrants to purchase common stock (See Note 7), which wereare treated as a warrant derivative liability. Upon the exchange, the Company settled $1,481 of outstanding principal, $60 of accrued interest, $758 of debt discount, recorded a warrant liability in the amount of $1,221 resulting in a loss on settlement of debt of $438. The derivative was calculated using a share fair value of $0.025 per share, a discount rate of 0.98%, remaining lives of 4.43 years and volatility of 176.1%. As of December 31, 2021, this note had 0 outstanding balance.liabilities.

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company valued the derivative liability relating to the embedded conversion feature using the Monte Carlo Simulation Method because of the unknown stock price at the future time of conversion. The Monte Carlo Simulation was calculated using the following assumptions:

Fluctuations in the Company’s stock price are a primary driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. As the stock price increases for each of the related derivative instruments, the value to the holder of the instrument generally increases, therefore increasing the liability on the Company’s balance sheet. Additionally, stock price volatility is one of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s derivative instruments. The simulated fair value of these liabilities is sensitive to changes in the Company’s expected volatility. Increases in expected volatility would generally result in higher fair value measurement. A 10% change in pricing inputs and changes in volatilities and correlation factors would not result in a material change in our Level 3 fair value.

We continue to explore ways to growmaintain and maintaingrow our current operations including but not limited to further potential equipment sales and raising capital to acquire the newest generation miners. The Company is also investigating other sites to develop into Bitcoin mining facilities in addition to expansion at its current property.

 

In addition to its self-mining operations, the Company leases its owned space to other Bitcoin miners and also provides hosting services for owners of cryptocurrency mining equipment. Management believes that these measures improve utilization of the electrical infrastructure and better insulate the Company against the volatility of Bitcoin mining.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

 

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

 

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

Revenue recognition

 

Cryptocurrency mining

 

The Company recognizes revenue under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASC 606”). The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

 

 Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer
 Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract 
 Step 3: Determine the transaction price  
 Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract  
 Step 5: Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation  

 

In order to identify the performance obligations in a contract with a customer, a company must assess the promised goods or services in the contract and identify each promised good or service that is distinct. A performance obligation meets ASC 606’s definition of a “distinct” good or service (or bundle of goods or services) if both of the following criteria are met: The customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer (i.e., the good or service is capable of being distinct), and the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract (i.e., the promise to transfer the good or service is distinct within the context of the contract).

 

If a good or service is not distinct, the good or service is combined with other promised goods or services until a bundle of goods or services is identified that is distinct.

 

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. When determining the transaction price, an entity must consider the effects of all of the following:

 

 Variable consideration  
 Constraining estimates of variable consideration  
 The existence of a significant financing component in the contract  
 Noncash consideration  
 Consideration payable to a customer  

 

Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. The transaction price allocated to each performance obligation is recognized when that performance obligation is satisfied, at a point in time or over time as appropriate.

 

18

The Company has entered into digital asset mining pools by agreeing to terms and conditions, as may be amended from time to time, with the mining pool operators to provide computing power to the mining pool. The contracts are terminable at any time by either party and the Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when the Company provides computing power to the mining pool operator. In exchange for providing computing power to the mining pool, the Company is entitled to a fractional share of the fixed cryptocurrency award the mining pool operator receives (less digital asset transaction fees to the mining pool operator which are recorded as a component of cost of revenues), for successfully adding a block to the Blockchain. The terms of the agreement provide that neither party can dispute settlement terms after thirty-five35 days following settlement. The Company’s fractional share is based on the proportion of computing power the Company contributed to the mining pool operator to the total computing power contributed by all mining pool participants in solving the current algorithm.

 

Providing computing power to solve complex cryptographic algorithms in support of the Bitcoin Blockchain (in a process known as “solving a block”) is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The provision of providing such computing power is the only performance obligation in the Company’s agreements with mining pool operators. The transaction consideration the Company receives, if any, is noncash consideration in the form of digital assets, which the Company measures at fair value on the date received, which is not materially different than the fair value at contract inception or the time the Company has earned the award from the pools. The consideration is alltherefore variable. Because it is not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur, the consideration is constrained until the mining pool operator successfully places a block (by being the first to solve an algorithm) and the Company receives confirmation of the consideration it will receive, at which time revenue is recognized. There is no significant financing component in these transactions.

18

 

Fair value of the cryptocurrency award received is determined using the quoted price of the related cryptocurrency at the time of receipt. There is currently no specific definitive guidance under GAAP or alternative accounting framework for the accounting for cryptocurrencies recognized as revenue or held, and management has exercised significant judgment in determining the appropriate accounting treatment. In the event authoritative guidance is enacted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the Company may be required to change its policies, which could have an effect on the Company’s financial position and results from operations.

 

Hosting Revenues

 

We receive revenues from third parties renting capacity at our facility and from hosting miners owned by others. The Company recognized $192$86 and $0$192 from these sources during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, two customers accounted for 68%100% and 23%91%, respectively, of hosting revenue.

 

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 one to ten years when placed in service. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. Deposits on property and equipment are initially classified as Other Assets and upon delivery, installation and full payment, the assets are classified as property and equipment on the balance sheet.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever facts or circumstances either internally or externally may suggest that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, should there be an indication of impairment, we test for recoverability by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset to the carrying amount of the asset or asset group. Any excess of the carrying value of the asset or asset group over its estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss.

 

19

Derivative Instruments

 

Derivative financial instruments are recorded in the accompanying balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC 815. When the Company enters into a financial instrument such as a debt or equity agreement (the “host contract”), the Company assesses whether the economic characteristics of any embedded features are clearly and closely related to the primary economic characteristics of the remainder of the host contract. When it is determined that (i) an embedded feature possesses economic characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the primary economic characteristics of the host contract, and (ii) a separate, stand-alone instrument with the same terms would meet the definition of a financial derivative instrument, then the embedded feature is bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative instrument. The estimated fair value of the derivative feature is recorded in the accompanying balance sheets separately from the carrying value of the host contract. Subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of derivatives are recorded as a gain or loss in the Company’s statements of operations.

Results of operations

 

Three months ended March 31, 20222023 and 20212022

 

Revenues

 

Our revenues for the three months March 31, 20222023 decreased by $31,$148, or 11%58%, to $255,$107, as compared to $286$255 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.2022. Our revenue is derived from cryptocurrency mining, which totaled $63$21 for the three months ended March 31, 20222023 and $286$63 during the three months ended March 31, 2021.2022. The decrease in revenues from our hosting and renting activities for this period is due to a decrease in miners from the previous year.

 

We also receive revenues from third parties renting capacity at our facility and from hosting miners owned by others. The companyCompany recognized $192$86 and $0$192 during the months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in revenues for this period is due to a decrease in hosting customers from the previous year.

Because our revenue is dependent upon mining and 2021, respectively.related activities with respect to Bitcoin, and the price and market for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies remain volatile and uncertain due to numerous factors including the lack of widespread acceptance of Bitcoin, regulatory actions that have or may be implemented or considered with respect thereto, and general economic conditions including the potential for a recession in the near term, management cannot predict, estimate or advise with certainty the revenue trends that the Company may experience in its current or any future operations following the periods covered in this Report.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased2023 decreased by $215,$333, or 29%35%, to $950,$617, as compared to $735$950 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.2022. The increasedecrease in operating expenses was primarily due to an increasea decrease in cost of revenue of $296,$412, partially offset by a decreasean increase in general and administrative expenses of $81.$79.

 

The increasedecrease in cost of revenue of $296$412 or 118%75% to $546, as compared to $250$134 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to increased electricity costs from hosting services. The decrease in general and administrative expenses of $81 or 17%, to $404,2023, as compared to $485$546 for the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022 was primarily due to a decreasedecreased electricity costs. The increase in general and administrative expenses of $79 or 20%, to $483 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $404 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was primarily due to an increase in legal and professional fees of $132, offset by an increase in repairs and maintenance of $11, increase in Georgia costs of $11 and$95, increase in consulting services of $35.$12, offset by a decrease in Georgia costs of $11.

Other Income and Expense

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, non–operating expense of $3,288 consisted primarily of loss on the change in fair value of warrant derivative liabilities of $1,696, loss on the change in fair value of derivative liability of $1,347, accretion of debt discount of $123, loss on settlement of derivative of $169 and interest expense of $23, partially offset by non-operating income of gain on the sale of property and equipment of $70. During the comparable period ended March 31, 2022, non–operating expense of $823 consisted primarily of loss on settlement of derivative of $417 and change in fair value of warrants derivative liability of $407, partially offset by interest income of $1. During the comparable period ended March 31, 2021, non–operating expense of $132 consisted of change in fair value of derivative liability of $67, accretion of debt discount of $62 and interest expense of $11, partially offset by non-operating income of $7 and a gain on sale of property and equipment of $1.

 

Liquidity and capital resources

 

Sources of Liquidity

 

We have historically financed our business through the sale of debt and equity interests.

In September 2022, we raised $1,335 from the sale of a $1,500 Original Issue Discount Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”). The Note: (i) is convertible into 30% of the Company’s outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on the conversion date of the Note on a post-conversion basis, (ii) matures December 31, 2023 and (iii) bears an interest rate of 6% per annum. In addition, the Company issued to the investor three series of warrants of which each of the warrants is exercisable into 60% of the Conversion Shares. In August 2022, the Company also issued to one investor 22,800,000 shares of common stock and 22,800,000 warrants to purchase common stock for consideration of $228. The Note provides for customary events of default, the occurrence of which would result in 110% the principal and other accrued amounts outstanding under the September 2022 Note to become immediately due and payable, with the interest rate increasing to 12%.

On March 16, 2023 the Company entered into a partnership agreement (the “Partnership Agreement”) and a property lease agreement (the “Lease Agreement, and together with the Partnership Agreement, collectively, the “Agreement”) with another cryptocurrency mining company (“Tenant”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to lease to Tenant portions of the Company’s six acre mining facility in Lafayette, GA in increments of up to 10 spaces that are 40 feet in length and eight feet in height each (“Spaces”), together with related utilities access including electricity of up to one megawatt (“MW”) per Space, for deploying mining equipment, in exchange for rental payments of $5 per Space per month (provided the Spaces are powered) and payment of the electricity costs and deposit requirements arising from the Spaces. In connection with the Lease Agreement, Tenant agreed to make an initial deposit of $229 for the initial electricity deployment for five MW. Further, pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Company provided Tenant with the option (the “Option”) to lend MGT up to $1 million. The Partnership Agreement has a term of 24 months.

We have incurred significant operating losses since inception and continue to generate losses from operations and as of March 31, 20222023 have an accumulated deficit of $421,446.$429,704. At March 31, 2022,2023, our cash and cash equivalents were $633,$317, and our working capital deficit was $302.$8,176.

 

In January 2020, management completed the consolidation of its activities in a Company-owned and managed facility, after having terminated all management agreements with outside investors as well as all third-party hosting arrangements in 2019. The Company will need to raise additional capital to pay the outstanding convertible note, fund operating losses, and maintain and grow its operations.operations as intended over the next 12 months. There can be no assurance however that the Company will be able to raise additional capital when needed, or at terms deemed acceptable, if at all. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital will also be impacted by the volatility of Bitcoin, regulatory developments with respect to cryptocurrencies generally, inflation, high internet rates, the banking crisis, the war in Ukraine, the possibility of recession, and the ongoing SEC enforcement action against our Chief Executive Officer, bothall of which are highly uncertain, cannot be predicted and could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition.condition and its ability to raise capital. The issuance of any additional shares of Common Stock,common stock, preferred stock or convertible securities could be substantially dilutive to our shareholders. Such factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to sustain operations for at least one year from the issuance of these unaudited condensed financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The price of Bitcoin is volatile, and fluctuations are expected. Declines in the price of Bitcoin have had a negative impact onin our operating results and liquidity and could harm the price of our common stock. Movements may be influenced by various factors, including, but not limited to, government regulation, security breaches experienced by service providers, as well as political and economic uncertainties around the world. Since we record revenuerevenues partly based on the price of earned Bitcoin and we may retain such Bitcoin as an asset or as payment for future expenses, the relative value of such revenues may fluctuate, as will the value of any Bitcoin we retain. During the period January 1, 2022 through March 31, 2022, the price of Bitcoin remained very volatile, with a low and high exchange price per Bitcoin of approximately $35 and $48, respectively.

20

The supply of Bitcoin is finite. Once 21 million Bitcoin are generated, the network will stop producing more. Currently, there are approximately 19 million Bitcoin in circulation, or 90% of the total supply of Bitcoin. Within the Bitcoin protocol is an event referred to as Halving where the Bitcoin reward provided upon mining a block is reduced by 50%. Halvings are scheduled to occur once every 210,000 blocks, or roughly every four years, until the maximum supply of 21 million Bitcoin is reached. The most recent Halving occurred in May 2020, with a revised reward payout of 6.25 Bitcoin per block.

Given a stable hash rate, a Halving reduces the number of new Bitcoin being generated by the network. While the effect is to limit the supply of new coins, it has no impact on the quantity of total Bitcoin outstanding. As a result, the price of Bitcoin could rise or fall based on overall investor and consumer demand. Should the price of Bitcoin remain unchanged after the next Halving, the Company’s revenue would be reduced by 50%, with a much larger negative impact to profit.

Our primary source of operating funds has been through debt and equity financing.

COVID-19 pandemic:

 

The COVID-19 pandemichigh and low exchange rate per Bitcoin for the quarter ending March 31, 2023, as reported by Blockchain.info, were approximately $28 and $16 respectively. The high and low exchange rate per Bitcoin for the year ending December 31, 2022, as reported by Blockchain.info, were approximately $48 and $16 respectively.

Impact of Inflation

Beginning in 2022, there has disruptedbeen a sharp rise in inflation in the U.S. and globally. Given our Bitcoin mining operations, the most significant impact has been on electricity and mining equipment costs. Further, Federal Reserve interest rate increases and bank failures could result in a recession, which may continue to disrupthave an adverse impact on our operations, and those of our vendors, suppliers and otherbe it directly and/or through third parties on which we rely,our operations and werevenue depends.

Cryptocurrency Market Developments

Cryptocurrencies and related activities are characterized by numerous risks and uncertainties, including the possibility for adverse developments such as regulatory actions, bans or restrictions, declines in the price of, demand for or public perception of cryptocurrencies, theft, fraud, hacking, manipulation or malicious coding, price volatility, the potential for one cryptocurrency to branch into two, variations among and the potential for adverse changes to blockchain algorithms, and other external forces beyond our control. The cryptocurrency industry is characterized by a high level of volatility, and the collapse in the prices of most popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum has cast doubt on the future of cryptocurrency-focused businesses such as ours. This trend was further impacted by the recent controversy and failure surrounding FTX, a cryptocurrency exchange that collapsed after its Chief Executive Officer was accused of fraud and misappropriation of corporate funds. Since then, certain other cryptocurrency-focused companies have filed for bankruptcy, and three major U.S. banks with involvement in cryptocurrencies collapsed. Further the ongoing litigation between the SEC and Coinbase may not be able to obtain new miners or replacement parts for our existing miners in a timely or cost-effective manner, which could materially and adversely affect our business and resultsprospects. These events have resulted in a decline in the cryptocurrency markets and in the public’s perception of operations.the industry. In addition, following the FTX controversy, regulators began reviewing cryptocurrency-focused companies and their operations with greater scrutiny, and have brought enforcement actions seeking to restrict or cease such activities. Any of these trends may have contributed, and could in the future contribute further, to declines in the price of Bitcoin and the demand for cryptocurrency-related activities such as ours, which gives rise to uncertainty concerning our future revenue and expenses.

The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our operations or our ability to obtain financing will depend on future developments which are uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken by governments and private businesses to contain COVID-19 to treat its impact, among others. If the disruptions posed by COVID-19 continue for an extended period of time, financial markets may not be available to the Company for raising capital in order to fund future growth. Should the Company not be able to obtain financing in the amounts necessary or under terms which are economically feasible, we may be required to reduce planned future growth and/or the scope of our operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk

 

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

 

Item 4. Controls and procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer) carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022.2023. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in paragraph (e) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) were not effective as March 31, 20222023 due to the following material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting: Our small number of employees does not allow for sufficient segregation of duties and independent review of duties performed.

 

Limitations on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

An internal control system over financial reporting has inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

Management’s Quarterly Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting is a process used to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our board of directors and management; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), we performed a complete documentation of the Company’s significant processes and key controls, and conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2022.2023.
