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 intellectual property license fees and gaming fees:
|
●
|
Digital
currencies operating revenues:
The Company will derive its revenue by providing transaction verification services
within the digital currency network of Bitcoin, commonly termed “Bitcoin mining.” In consideration for these services
the Company will receive digital currency, Bitcoins (“BTC,” “coins”). The coins are recorded as revenue,
using the average spot price of Bitcoin on the date of receipt. The coins are recorded on the balance sheet at their fair
value and re-measured at each reporting date. Revaluation gains or losses, as well gains or losses on sale of BTC are recorded
in the statement of operations
.
Expenses
associated with running the Bitcoin mining business, such as equipment deprecation, rent and electricity cost are recorded
as cost of revenues.
|
|
●
|
Licensing
–
License fee revenue is derived from the licensing of intellectual property. 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.
|
|
●
|
Gaming
–
Gaming revenue is derived from entry fees charged in contests minus prizes paid out in contests.
|
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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, excludes 1,000,000 unvested restricted shares and 560,000
shares issuable under warrants, as they are anti–dilutive due to the Company’s net loss. The computation of diluted
loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, excluded 10,451 shares in connection to the Convertible
Preferred stock, 9,000
unvested restricted shares and
1,020,825 shares issuable under warrants, as they were anti–dilutive due to the Company’s net loss.
Recent
accounting pronouncements
In
April 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
No. 2016–09
,
“Compensation – Stock Compensation” (topic 718)
. The FASB issued this update to
improve the accounting for employee share–based payments and affect all organizations that issue share–based payment
awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share–based payment award transactions are simplified,
including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on
the statement of cash flows. The updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including
interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the update is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of the new standard.
In
February 2016, FASB issued
ASU No. 2016–02 “Leases” (topic 842)
, which creates new accounting and reporting
guidelines for leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires organizations that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities
on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases, regardless of whether they are classified
as finance or operating leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and
cash flows arising from a lease primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The guidance also
requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows
arising from leases. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim
periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted. The new standard is to be applied using a modified retrospective
approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new pronouncement on its financial statements.

Investments
Equity
security investments available for sale, at market value, reflect unrealized appreciation and depreciation, as a result of temporary
changes in market value during the period, in shareholders’ equity, net of income taxes in “accumulated other comprehensive
loss” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For non–publicly traded securities, market prices are determined
through the use of pricing models that evaluate securities. For publicly traded securities, market value is based on quoted market
prices or valuation models that use observable market inputs.

Note
5. Goodwill and 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, and more often if a triggering event occurs, by
comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. The Company concluded that a triggering event had occurred
based on the overall deterioration of the market capitalization of the Company and evaluated the goodwill for possible impairment.
After the evaluation as of September 30, 2016, management concluded that a full impairment existed based on the Company’s
current efforts to capitalize and execute its business plan relating to the asset.
The
Company’s intangible assets for continuing operations consisted of the following:

6. Notes receivable
On
March 24, 2016, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “FNCX March 24
th
Agreement”) with FNCX.
The purpose of the FNCX March 24
th
Agreement was to exchange the FNCX Note for other equity and debt securities of
FNCX, after the Note went into default on March 8, 2016. On the effective date of the FNCX March 24
th
Agreement, the
Note had an outstanding principal balance of $1,875 and accrued interest in the amount of $51 (the “March 24
th
Interest”). Pursuant to the FNCX March 24
th
Agreement, a portion consisting of $825 of the outstanding
principal of the FNCX Note was exchanged for 137,418 shares
of
FNCX’s Common stock, and an additional portion of $110 of the outstanding principal was exchanged for 110 shares (the “FNCX
Preferred shares”) of a newly created class of Preferred stock, the Series D Convertible Preferred stock. The FNCX Preferred
shares were subsequently converted into 18,332
shares
of FNCX’s Common stock
. Finally, FNCX agreed
to make a cash payment to MGT Sports for the total amount of March 24
th
Interest. In exchange for the forgoing, MGT
Sports and the Company agreed to waive all Events of Default under the FNCX Note prior to the effective date of the FNCX March
24
th
Agreement and to release FNCX from any rights, remedies and claims related thereto. After giving effect to the
forgoing, the remaining outstanding principal balance of the FNCX Note was $940 which continued to accrue interest a rate of 5%
per annum, and all terms of the Note remained unchanged except that the maturity date was changed to July 31, 2016.
On
June 14, 2016, the Company and MGT Sports entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “FNCX June 14
th
Agreement”)
with FNCX to exchange $940 remaining outstanding principal of the FNCX Note for 132,097 shares of FNCX’s
Common stock and FNCX shall make a cash payment to MGT Sports for the total amount of interest accrued until consummation of the
transaction contemplated in the FNCX June 14
th
Agreement, which is estimated to be completed by December 31, 2016.
On
September 16, 2016, FNCX amended its Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of all issued and outstanding
shares of common stock at a ratio of 1 for 20 (the "Reverse Stock Split"). The effective date of the Reverse Stock Split
is September 16, 2016. The above common stock share amounts received from FNCX have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock
Split.
On
September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company carried the Note from FNCX in the net amount of $640 and $1,575, respectively.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2016
, the Company purchased a 5% promissory note
with a principal of $45, maturing on July 18, 2016. Management expects to collect or convert the note into equity of the promisor
by the end of 2016, the Company is carrying the note as a long–term asset, despite its current maturity.
Note
7. Notes Payable
On
August 2, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the
“SPA”) with selected accredited investors (each an “Investor” and collectively, the
“Investors”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold $2,300
in
unsecured promissory notes (“Notes) in a private placement (the “Offering”). The Notes mature on September
30, 2019 or such other date as set forth in the Notes. The Notes bear interest at a rate of twelve per cent (12%) per annum,
to be paid quarterly in arrears, with the first payment due on September 30, 2016 to be calculated on a pro–rata basis.
In addition, for each one thousand dollars invested by an Investor, the Investor shall receive two detachable Warrants
(“Warrant”), each of which is exercisable for one hundred (100) shares of the Company’s common stock: Each
Warrant has an
exercise price of $3.31 per
share, and is exercisable for a period of thirty–six (36) months from the date of issuance.
The
Company estimated the relative fair value of these warrants on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model
with the following weighted-average assumptions:

Note
9. 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.
At
the annual meeting of the stockholders of MGT held on December 31, 2015, 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 3,000,000 shares from 1,335,000 shares, an increase of 1,665,000 shares.
The Company’s
board of directors established the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) on August 15, 2016, and the Company’s
shareholders ratified the Plan at the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders on September 8, 2016. No grants have
been made to date under the 2016 Plan but the Company received stockholder approval to issue 6,000,000 options. The 2,000,000
shares
of restricted stock that were approved under the Plan were deemed vested to an officer of the Company on the date of his employment
agreement, July 7, 2016. The stock was valued at its fair market value of $4.37 per share or an aggregate value of $8,740. These
shares were issued subsequent to September 30, 2016. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the
2016 Plan shall initially be 18,000,000.
The
purpose of the Plan is to provide an incentive to attract and retain directors, officers, consultants, advisors and employees
whose services are considered valuable, to encourage a sense of proprietorship and to stimulate an active interest of such persons
into the Company’s development and financial success.
The
2016 Plan is administered by the Company’s Nomination and Compensation Committee, consisting of at least two directors who
qualify as “independent directors” under the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market, “non–employee directors”
under Rule 16b–3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as “outside directors” under Section
162(m) of the Code.
Common
Stock and 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 nine months ended September 30, 2016, and 2015.

including a private or public financing in which the Company receives gross proceeds of at least $7,500; a spinoff; one or more
acquisitions or sales by the Company of certain assets approved by the stockholders of the Company; or a merger, consolidation,
recapitalization, or reorganization approved by the stockholders of the Company (each, a “Qualifying Transaction”).
In the absence of a Qualifying Transaction, the Company allowed holders of the 2015 Warrants to accelerate exercise, if the holder
agreed to pay an exercise price of greater than $0.25 per share. All 2015 Warrants were exercised under this agreement, with the
Company issuing a total of 5,600,000 shares of Common stock for gross proceeds of $2,298, or approximately $0.41 per share. Due

investor (“Investor”) pursuant to which, the Investor agreed to purchase in a private placement, subject to certain
conditions, an aggregate of four hundred fifty thousand (450,000) restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, par value

Agreement”) entered into with a holder (“Holder”) of certain 12% unsecured promissory notes in the amount of

issued by the Company, whereby the Holder agreed to exchange certain Notes and warrants received with the Notes for an aggregate
of eight hundred fifty thousand (850,000) restricted shares of the Company’s common stock.
The rescission of the

closing of the transaction with D-Vasive Inc., a Wyoming corporation.

Note
13. Investment and fair value
The
authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset
or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in
an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the
principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact. The guidance
describes a fair value hierarchy based on the levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last
unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:
|
●
|
Level
1
– Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Level
2
– Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by
observable market data or substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Level
3
– Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the value
of the assets or liabilities
|
The
following tables provides the investments carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2016:

The
Company uses Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy to measure the fair value of digital currencies and revalues its digital currencies
at every reporting period and recognizes gains or losses in the consolidated statements of operations that are attributable to
the change in the fair value of the digital currency.

Note 14. Subsequent events
The
Company has evaluated events that occurred subsequent to September 30, 2016, and through the date of the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.
On
October 19, 2016, the Company received a letter from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE” or the “Exchange”)
stating that the staff of NYSE Regulation has determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s common stock (the
“Action”). NYSE Regulation cited Section 1002(c) of the NYSE MKT LLC Company Guide as the reason for the Action. The
cited section is intended to apply when a company has sold or otherwise disposed of its principal operating assets or has ceased
to be an operating company.
The
Company knows of no facts or circumstances that would lead NYSE to take the Action. The Company has not sold or disposed of its
principal operating assets and believes that it qualifies as an operating company but the Company has decided not to pursue any
appeal of the de-listing.
On
October 24, 2016, the Company consummated the July 14, 2016 Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with Cyberdonix,
Inc. (“Cyberdonix “), an Alabama corporation and the shareholders of Cyberdonix , Inc. for the purchase of “sentinel”
hacker intrusion device, its prototypes and all underlying software and firmware thereof, the server contract and a hard case
and circuit board inventory; 5,000 hard cases (including mold for production) and 4 circuit boards by issuing 150,000 shares of
MGT common stock.
On
October 24, 2016, the Company issued 150,000 shares of its common stock to a law firm for legal services.
On October 28, 2016
and on November 11, 2016, the Company entered into a Note Exchange Agreement (“Note Exchange Agreement”) and a Warrant
Exchange Agreement (the “Warrant Exchange Agreement”) with the holders (“Holders”) of certain 12% unsecured
promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,750 (the “Notes”) previously issued by the Company pursuant
to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated August 2, 2016 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Note Exchange
Agreement, the Company and the Holders agreed to exchange the Notes, including accrued but unpaid interest thereon, for an 8%
Senior Unsecured Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of $1,750 (the “New Notes”). The New Notes are
convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $1.00
per share, subject to adjustments as set forth in the New Note.
Pursuant to the Warrant
Exchange Agreement, the Company and the Holders also agreed to exchange certain warrants to purchase three hundred and fifty thousand
(350,000) shares of common stock issued to the Holder under the Purchase Agreement for three hundred and fifty thousand (350,000)
shares of the Company’s restricted stock. These warrants have been converted but the shares have not yet been issued to
the warrant holder.
The Company has offered
to other holders of promissory notes issued under the Purchase Agreement, in the aggregate principal amount of $550, the opportunity
to exchange such notes under the same terms described above.
On November 11, 2016,
in accordance with the employment agreement entered into with Robert B. Ladd on July 7, 2016, 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock was issued.

Bitcoin
mining
Effective
July 25, 2016, the Company engaged in the business of providing transaction verification services within the digital currency
network of Bitcoin, commonly termed “Bitcoin mining.” In consideration for these services the Company receives digital
currency, Bitcoins (“BTC,” “coins”);
|
●
|
The
coins are recorded as revenue, using the average spot price of Bitcoin on the date of receipt;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
The
coins are recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value and remeasured at each reporting date. Revaluation gains or losses,
as well gains or losses on sale of BTC are recorded in the statement of operations; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Expenses
associated with running the Bitcoin mining business, such as equipment deprecation, rent and electricity cost are recorded
as cost of revenues.
|
Bitcoin
mining is the process of adding transaction records to the Bitcoin’s public ledger of past transactions. Miners are awarded
Bitcoins for each block of confirmed transactions as well as a fee for each added transaction, also paid in BTC. Payments are
made directly to the Company’s Bitcoin wallet at Coinbase.
Processing
these transactions requires massive computing power and can only be carried out using expensive, specialized hardware (“Bitcoin
machines,” the “machines”). The machines have very high electricity consumption and require constant monitoring,
power and cooling management.
The
reason for the term “Bitcoin mining” is because it resembles the mining of physical commodities such as gold, for
it requires exertion and slowly makes new currency available at a rate that resembles the rate at which commodities like precious
metals are mined from the ground.
MGT’s mining
operations
During
the three months ended September 30, 2016
, the
Company purchased 200 bitcoin mining machines from Bitmain Technologies Limited for $311 and power supplies from Hash The Planet
(“HTP”) for $27. The
Company
also entered a 12-month agreement with HTP to host, power, connect, monitor and service the machines for $136. The hosting data
center in located in Cashmere, WA. MGT launched its bitcoin mining operations and earned its first BTC on September 3, 2016.
Gaming
Prior
to third quarter ending September 30, 2016, the Company and its subsidiaries were principally engaged in the business of acquiring,
developing and monetizing assets in the online and mobile gaming space as well as the social casino industry. MGT’s portfolio
includes a social casino platform Slot Champ and minority stakes in the skill–based gaming platform MGT Play and fantasy
sports operator DraftDay Gaming Group, Inc. (“DDGG”) (see September 8, 2015 development below).
In
addition, MGT Gaming owns three patents covering certain features of casino slot machines. Two of the patents were asserted against
alleged infringers in various actions in federal court in Mississippi. In July 2014, MGT Gaming dismissed its lawsuits against
WMS Gaming Inc., and in August 2015, the Company and defendants Aruze America and Penn National Gaming agreed to settle all pending
litigation and all proceedings at the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office. The Company received a payment of $90, which was recorded
as licensing revenue. In an effort to monetize its gaming patent portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the
Company engaged Munich Innovations GmbH, the patent monetization firm that sold MGT’s medical patent portfolio to Samsung
in 2013 for $1.5 million. As of September 30, 2016, an impairment charge for the full value of the patent was recorded, as the

claims related thereto. After giving effect to the forgoing, the remaining outstanding principal balance of the FNCX Note was
$940 which continued to accrue interest a rate of 5% per annum, and all terms of the Note remained unchanged except that the maturity
date was changed to July 31, 2016.

On
September 30, 2016, MGT’s cash and cash equivalents were $2,113. The Company continues to exercise discipline with
respect to current expense levels. Our cash and cash equivalents have decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2016,
primarily due to $3,772 used in operating activities, offset by $799 and $4,727 provided by investing activities 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, stock–based compensation, warrants modification expense, loss on sale of investments
and movement in working capital.
Investing
activities
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company generated $1,805 in gross proceeds from sales of FNCX Common stock on the
open market.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company purchased a 5% promissory note with a principal of $45, maturing on July
18, 2016.
On
May 13, 2016, the Company acquired 6% Membership Interest in The Round House LLC (“Round House”) for cash consideration
of $150. Round House is an Alabama–based technology incubator, offering co–working space, accelerator services and
angel investment.
On
May 18, 2016, the Company acquired 112,000 Common shares of Venaxis, Inc. (“APPY”) in the open market at a cost of
$414.
On
August 16, 2016, the Company acquired 25% membership interest in 2MQ LLC, a developer and publisher of smartphone games.
Financing
activities
During
the three months ended September 30, 2016 the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with
selected accredited investors (each an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”). Pursuant to the
terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold $2,300 in unsecured promissory notes (“Notes) in a private placement (the
“Offering”). The Notes mature on September 30, 2019 or such other date as set forth in the Notes. The Notes bear interest
at a rate of twelve per cent (12%) per annum, to be paid quarterly in arrears, with the first payment due on September 30, 2016
to be calculated on a pro–rata basis.
On October 28, 2016 and
on November 11, 2016, the Company entered into a Note Exchange Agreement (“Note Exchange Agreement”) and a Warrant
Exchange Agreement (the “Warrant Exchange Agreement”) with the holders (“Holders”) of certain 12% unsecured
promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,750 (the “Notes”) previously issued by the Company pursuant
to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated August 2, 2016 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Note Exchange
Agreement, the Company and the Holders agreed to exchange the Notes, including accrued but unpaid interest thereon, for an 8%
Senior Unsecured Promissory Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,750 (the “New Notes”). The New Notes are
convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $1.00
per share, subject to adjustments as set forth in the New Note.
Pursuant to the Warrant
Exchange Agreement, the Company and the Holders also agreed to exchange certain warrants to purchase 350,000 shares of common stock
issued to the Holder under the Purchase Agreement for 350,000 shares of the Company’s restricted stock. These warrants have
been converted but the shares have not yet been issued to the warrant holders.
The Company has offered
to other holders of promissory notes issued under the Purchase Agreement, in the aggregate principal amount of $550, the opportunity
to exchange such notes under the same terms described above.
During
the three months ended September 30, 2016 the Company issued 6,117,296 shares of Common stock in connection with exercise of warrants,
resulting in gross proceeds of $2,427.
Risks
and uncertainties related to our future capital requirements
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization
of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had incurred
significant operating losses since inception and continues to generate losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit of
$322,204. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating 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.
Commercial
results have been limited and the Company has not generated significant revenues. The Company’s primary source of operating
funds since inception has been debt and equity financings. The Company cannot assure its stockholders that the Company’s
revenues will be sufficient to fund its operations. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may be required to curtail
its operations significantly or to obtain funds through entering into arrangements with collaborative partners or others that
may require the Company to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies or products that the Company would not otherwise relinquish.
At
September 30, 2016, MGT’s cash and cash equivalents were $2,113. The Company intends to raise additional capital, either
through debt or equity financings or through the continued sale of the Company’s assets in order to achieve its business
plan objectives. Management believes that it can be successful in obtaining additional capital; however, no assurance can be provided
that the Company will be able to do so. There is no assurance that any funds raised will be sufficient to enable the Company to
attain profitable operations or continue as a going concern. To the extent that the Company is unsuccessful, the Company may need
to curtail or cease its operations and implement a plan to extend payables or reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital
is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.
Off–balance
sheet arrangements
We
have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off–balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate
in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable
interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off–balance sheet arrangements.
