MGTI MGT Capital Investments Inc (CE)

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, the Company had incurred significant operating losses since inception and continues to generate losses from operations. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $421,446. As of March 31, 2022 MGT’s cash and cash equivalents were $633.

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 when needed, or at terms deemed acceptable, if at all. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital is impacted by the volatility of Bitcoin mining economics and the SEC’s ongoing enforcement action against our Chief Executive Officer, both of which are highly uncertain, cannot be predicted, and could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition.

Since January 2021, 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, fair value of warrants issued, the recognition of revenue, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and other legal claims and contingencies. The results of any changes in accounting estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which the changes become evident. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company’s combined accounts were $633 and $1,230 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Accounts are insured by the FDIC up to $250 per financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts with these financial institutions. As of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had $133 and $980, respectively, in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are generally unsecured. 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 bitcoin and 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.

The following table presents the activities of digital currencies for the periods ended March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Investment

Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses, if any, are calculated on the specific identification method and are included in other income in the statements of operations.

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:

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 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 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, 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-five 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, 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 all 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.

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 and $0 from these sources during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, two customers accounted for 68% and 23% respectively of hosting revenue.

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, stock warrants and stock options, are not reflected in diluted net loss per share because such potential shares are anti–dilutive due to the Company’s net loss.

Accordingly, the computation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 excludes 63,416,941 shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants. The computation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 excludes 34,285,714 shares issuable under convertible debt.

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:

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had a Level 3 financial instrument related to the derivative liability related to the issuance of warrants.

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 12 – 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.

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 $306 and $180 as 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 5. Property, Plant, and Equipment and Other Assets

Property and equipment consisted of the following:

The Company recorded depreciation expense of $48 and $189 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, gains on sale of property and equipment of $0 and $1, respectively, were recorded as other non-operating income. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 we disposed of a total of 50 S17 miners which were fully depreciated.

Other Assets consisted of the following:

Schedule of Other Assets 

The Company has paid $3 related to its office lease in Raleigh, NC.

Note 6. Investment

In December 2021, the Company invested $50 in the form of a convertible promissory note. The note bears annual interest of 8% and matures on December 31, 2024. The note contains certain anti-dilution features with an as-converted ownership of 5%. As of March 31, 2022, the Company determined that book value represented fair value with no adjustment necessary.

Note 7. Notes Payable

December 2020 Note

On December 8, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which it issued a convertible promissory note (the “December 2020 Note”) in the principal amount of $230 which is convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of common stock 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 Company received consideration of $200 for the convertible promissory note. The note bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum and matures in twelve months.

The Company determined that the embedded conversion feature of the convertible promissory note meets the definition of a beneficial conversion feature 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 together 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 $355.

On June 15, 2021, the holder converted $120 of principal into 4,761,905 shares of common stock valued at $238. As a result of this conversion, $172 of derivative liability was settled, $86 unamortized debt discount was settled and $32 was recorded as loss on settlement 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 settled and $72 was recorded as loss on settlement of debt. As of December 31, 2021, this note had no outstanding balance.

March 2021 Note

On March 5, 2021, 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 amount 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 months.

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, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with the March 2021 Note holder under which the outstanding principal balance of $1,481 and $60 of accrued interest were exchanged for 53,500,000 warrants to purchase common stock (See Note 7), which were 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 no outstanding balance.

The Company recorded loss on settlement of derivative liability in the amount of $417 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

As of March 31, 2022, the fair value of the warrant derivative liability was $1,366 and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 the Company recorded a loss of $407 from the change in fair value of derivative warrant liability as non-operating income in the statements of operations. The Company valued the warrant derivative liability using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions as of March 31, 2022: 1) stock price of $0.024, 2) exercise prices of $0.05, 3) remaining lives of 3.9 – 4.3 years, 4) dividend yields of 0%, 5) risk free rates of 2.42%, and 6) volatility of 174.5%.

As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of the warrant derivative liability was $1,130 and for the year ended December 31, 2021 the Company recorded a gain of $955 from the change in fair value of derivative warrant liability as non-operating income in the statements of operations. The Company valued the warrant derivative liability using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions as of December 31, 2021: 1) stock price of $0.017, 2) exercise prices of $0.05, 3) remaining lives of 4.2 – 4.6 years, 4) dividend yields of 0%, 5) risk free rates of 1.26%, and 6) volatility of 175.5%.

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.

The following table summarizes the Company’s debt related derivative liability as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Note 8. Leases

In December 2019, the Company entered an office lease in connection with the relocation of its executive office to Raleigh, North Carolina. The Company accounted for this lease as an operating lease under the guidance of Topic 842. Rent expense under the new lease is $3 per month, with annual increases of 3% during the three-year term. The Company used an incremental borrowing rate of 29.91% based on the weighted average effective interest rate of its outstanding debt. In December 2019, the Company recorded a Right of Use Asset of $79 and a corresponding Lease Liability of $79. The Right to Use Asset is accounted for as an operating lease and has a balance, net of amortization, of $27 as of March 31, 2022.

On November 1, 2021, the Company entered into a lease agreement to lease a contiguous portion of land to its existing property, as a planting area for trees intended to mitigate noise from the Company’s cryptocurrency mining operations. The agreement calls for yearly installments of $3 for the first five years, with an option to extend this lease for another five-year period at a rate not to exceed 105% of the current lease payment. On each anniversary date, the Company will pay $3 in advance, with payment for the first year paid upon execution of the lease. The Company used an incremental borrowing rate of 8.0% based on the interest rate of incorporated in the most recent promissory note. At lease inception, the Company recorded a Right of Use Asset of $22 and a corresponding Lease Liability of $22. The Right to Use Asset is accounted for as an operating lease and has a balance, net of amortization, of $21 as of March 31, 2022.

Total future minimum payments required under the lease agreement are as follows:

The Company recorded rent expense of $10 and $9 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

At March 31, 2022 the weighted average interest rate for the operating lease was 20.46%. At March 31, 2022, the weighted average remaining lease term for operating lease was 4.6 years. The Company’s lease agreement does not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Note 9. Common Stock and Preferred Stock

Common stock

Common Stock Issuances

In connection with the conversion of 115 shares of Series C Preferred Stock during the year ended December 31, 2021 (see Preferred Stock below) the Company issued 29,870,130 shares of common stock.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, in connection with the conversions of $120 and $110, with accrued interest, of the December 2020 convertible note payable (see Note 7), the Company issued 4,761,905 and 6,673,384 shares of common stock, respectively.

On July 21, 2021, as part of a corporate fundraising of $990, net of issuance costs, the Company issued 35,385,703 shares of common stock and 35,385,703 warrants to purchase common stock (see Warrants below).

During the year ended December 31, 2021, 14,270,833 warrants with an embedded conversion feature were exercised on a cashless basis for the issuance of 23,500,000 shares of common stock (see below).

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, 11,197,930 warrants with an embedded conversion feature were exercised on a cashless basis for the issuance of 34,000,000 shares of common stock (see below).

Preferred Stock

On January 11, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the authorization of 10,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.001 and a Stated Value of $100 each (“Series B Preferred Shares”). The holders of the Series B Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, out of funds legally available for such purpose, dividends in cash at the rate of 12% of the Stated Value per annum on each Series B Preferred Share. Such dividends shall be cumulative and shall accrue without interest from the date of issuance of the respective share of the Series B Preferred Shares. Each holder shall also be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to stockholders of the Company and shall be entitled to 55,000 votes for each Series B Preferred Share owned at the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote on such matter or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of stockholders is solicited. In the event of a liquidation event, any holders of the Series B Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, for each Series B Preferred Shares, the Stated Value in cash out of the assets of the Company, whether from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its stockholders. The Series B Preferred Shares are not convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. No shares of Series B Preferred Shares have been issued or are outstanding.

On April 12, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the authorization of 200 Series C Preferred Shares with a par value of $0.001 (“Series C Preferred Shares”). The holders of the Series C Preferred Shares have no voting rights, receive no dividends, and are entitled to a liquidation preference equal to the stated value. At any time, the Company may redeem the Series C Preferred Shares at 1.2 times the stated value. Given the right of redemption is solely at the option of the Company, the Series C Preferred Shares are not considered mandatorily redeemable, and as such are classified in shareholders’ equity on the Company’s balance sheet.

Each Series C Preferred Share is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock in an amount equal to the greater of: (a) 200,000 shares of common stock or (b) the amount derived by dividing the stated value by the product of 0.7 times the market price of the Company’s common stock, defined as the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock during the ten-day period preceding the conversion date. The holder may not convert any Series C Preferred Shares if the total amount of shares held, together with holdings of its affiliates, following a conversion exceeds 9.99% of the Company’s common stock.

The common shares issued upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares have been registered under the Company’s then-effective registration statement on Form S-3. On April 12, 2019, the Company sold 190 Series C Preferred Shares for $1,890, net of issuance costs and on July 15, 2019 sold 10 Series C Preferred Shares for $100. During the second and third quarters of 2019, holders converted 50 Series C Preferred Shares into 14,077,092 shares of common stock and 35 Series C Preferred Shares into 13,528,575 shares of common stock, respectively. The remaining 115 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were converted into 29,870,130 shares of common stock during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Warrants

On July 21, 2021, as part of a corporate fundraising, the Company issued 35,385,703 shares of common stock and 35,385,703 warrants to purchase common stock for net cash proceeds of $990 (see above). The warrants were valued at $1,271 which resulted in the recording of a warrant derivative liability in that amount. Non-operating expense of $306 was recorded in respect of the value warrant derivative liability of $1,271 in excess of the value of common shares issued of $990.
