BITMINE IMMERSION TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. f/k/a Sandy Springs Holdings, Inc. (“ the “Company”) is a newly formed Delaware Corporation that commenced operations on July 16, 2020. The Company was formed as part of a Delaware reorganization that occurred as follows:
RESS of Delaware and Sandy Springs Holdings Inc. were incorporated in Delaware on November 20, 2019
With a 4/20/2020 effective date, Renewable Energy Solution Systems, Inc. ("RESS") a Nevada public company with a 12/31 year-end filed Articles of Merger with a Delaware Corp. called RESS Merger Corporation ("RESSMC") with RESSMC remaining as the surviving Delaware entity. Effective July 15, 2020, the three entities entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization “Merger”) into a Delaware Holding Company structure.
As a result of the Merger, Sandy Springs became a new public company with 470,202,774 shares outstanding, RESSMC merges with RESS Delaware with RESS Delaware as the survivor, and the liabilities of RESS are transferred to RESS of Delaware which becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sandy Springs. Effective July 15, 2020, as part of a divestiture agreement, Sterling Acquisition I, Inc. ("Sterling" which is a related party) acquired RESS of Delaware and assumed all of its liabilities except a Promissory Note for $50,447. Sandy Springs agreed that as an inducement to enter into the divestiture agreement, Sterling shall have the right to purchase and shall purchase (i); Ten Million (10,000,000) common shares at an aggregate price of Ten Dollars ($10); and (ii); Ten Million (10,000,000) Class A Warrants at an aggregate price of Ten Dollars ($10), and (iii); Ten Million (10,000,000) Class B Warrants at an aggregate price of Ten Dollars ($10).
All of the entities described above are related companies controlled by Erik Nelson.
On July 16, 2021, the Company’s shareholders approved a resolution to create a hosting center for Bitcoin mining computers primarily utilizing immersion cooling technology, as well mining the Bitcoin digital currency for its own account. Additionally, the resolution approved a change of the Company’s name to BitMine Immersion Technologies, Inc. in order to more align with its current operations. See Note 6. “Subsequent Events”.
The Company’s year-end is August 31.
Reverse Stock Split
On April 27, 2021 the Company effected a net 1-for-200 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of its issued and outstanding common stock $0.0001 par value common stock. Accordingly, 200 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were converted into one share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares of common stock were issued connection with the Reverse Split. If, as a result of the Reverse Split, a shareholder would have otherwise held a fractional share, the shareholder received, in lieu of the issuance of such fractional share, one whole share of common stock.
In connection with the Reverse Split, the number of authorized shares of Company’s common stock remained unchanged following the Reverse Split, with no change in the par value thereof. Prior to the split there were 480,202,704 shares outstanding. Post-split there were 2,688,400 shares outstanding.
The Company’s financial statements in this Report for the periods ended May 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020 and all references thereto have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the split unless specifically stated otherwise.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) “FASB Accounting Standard Codification™” (the “Codification”) which is the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States.
9 |
Management’s Representation of Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company uses the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations, and management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all of the adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of these financial statements. The Company has incurred operating losses since inception. As of May 31, 2021, the Company had a working capital deficit of $100,210 an accumulated deficit of $358,381.
Because the Company does not expect that existing operational cash flow will be sufficient to fund presently anticipated operations, this raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Company will need to raise additional funds and is currently exploring alternative sources of financing. The Company is currently being funded by Erik Nelson through loans from Coral Investment Partners which he controls. The Company will be required to continue to require funding until its operations become profitable.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The most significant estimates relate to income taxes and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known or expected trends, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable given the quality of information available as of the date of these financial statements. The results of these assumptions provide the basis for making estimates about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
On July 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, are presented under ASC 606. As of and for the year ended August 31, 2020, the financial statements were not impacted due to the application of Topic 606 because the Company had no revenues.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. On May 31, 2021 the Company’s cash equivalents totaled $3,466.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under FASB ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. FASB ASC 740-10-05, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
10 |
The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company assesses the validity of its conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions quarterly to determine if facts or circumstances have arisen that might cause it to change its judgment regarding the likelihood of a tax position’s sustainability under audit.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method following the guidance outlined in Section 718-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosure about Stock-Based Compensation. This section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award- the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.
Net Loss per Share
Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period as defined by Financial Accounting Standards, ASC Topic 260, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. The updated guidance requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements, which clarifies certain aspects of the new lease standard. The FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases in July 2018. Also in 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, which provides an optional transition method whereby the new lease standard is applied at the adoption date and recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings. The amendments have the same effective date and transition requirements as the new lease standard.
We adopted ASC 842 on July 16, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not any impact on our financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of the Company for the quarters ended May 31, 2021 and 2019, should be read in conjunction with the other sections of this Quarterly Report, including the Financial Statements and notes thereto of the Company included in this Quarterly Report. The various sections of this discussion contain forward-looking statements, all of which are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risk factors described throughout this Quarterly Report as well as other matters over which we have no control. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results may differ materially. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report.
Organizational History of the Company and Overview
Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc.is a Delaware corporation, (“the Company”, “we", "us" or “our”) is a publicly quoted shell company seeking to create value for its shareholders by merging with another entity with experienced management and opportunities for growth in return for shares of our common stock.
No potential merger candidate has been identified at this time.
We do not propose to restrict our search for a business opportunity to any particular industry or geographical area and may, therefore, engage in essentially any business in any industry. We have unrestricted discretion in seeking and participating in a business opportunity, subject to the availability of such opportunities, economic conditions, and other factors.
The selection of a business opportunity in which to participate is complex and risky. Additionally, we have only limited resources and may find it difficult to locate good opportunities. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify and acquire any business opportunity which will ultimately prove to be beneficial to us and our shareholders. We will select any potential business opportunity based on our management's best business judgment.
Our activities are subject to several significant risks, which arise primarily as a result of the fact that we have no specific business and may acquire or participate in a business opportunity based on the decision of management, which potentially could act without the consent, vote, or approval of our shareholders. The risks faced by us are further increased as a result of its lack of resources and our inability to provide a prospective business opportunity with significant capital.
No Current Operations
The Company has no operations at this time, and currently does not have any principal products or services, customers, or intellectual property.

Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. On May 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $358,381and current liabilities in excess of current assets by $100,210 . The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s continuation as a going concern is solely dependent upon the Coral Investment Partners, a related party, continuing to fund the Company. There is no assurance that they will continue to do so.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak to be a global pandemic which continues to spread throughout the U.S. and the globe. In addition to the devastating effects on human life, the pandemic is having a negative ripple effect on the global economy, leading to disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets. Most U.S. states and many countries have issued policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the disease such as issuing temporary Executive Orders that, among other stipulations, effectively prohibit in-person work activities for most industries and businesses, having the effect of suspending or severely curtailing operations. COVID-19 and the U.S’s response to the pandemic are significantly affecting the economy. There are no comparable events that provide guidance as to the effect the COVID-19 pandemic may have, and, as a result, the ultimate effect of the pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. The extent of the ultimate impact of the pandemic on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on various developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, which cannot be reasonably predicted at this time. Accordingly, while management reasonably expects the COVID-19 outbreak to negatively impact the Company, the related consequences and duration are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We cannot assure that additional funding will be available on a timely basis, on terms acceptable to us, or at all. We currently have no agreement with any third party to provide us this additional financing and there can be no assurances that we will obtain this financing, either debt or equity or both, on favorable terms, and at all. currently we are being funded by Coral investment Partners, a related entity who has provided us with all of our funding to date amounting to $87,447 Our inability to receive additional financing may have a significant negative impact on our continued development and results of our operations. COVID-19 has also caused significant disruptions to the global financial markets, which impacts our ability to raise additional capital. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital due to the continued spread of COVID-19, or otherwise, the Company may be required to reduce the scope, delay, or eliminate some or all of its planned operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or “GAAP.” The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. In accordance with GAAP, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our significant accounting policies are fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, and we believe those accounting policies are critical to the process of making significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes
Due to the historical operating losses, the inability to recognize an income tax benefit, and the failure to file tax returns for numerous years, there is no provision for current or deferred federal or state income taxes for the period from inception through the period ended May 31, 2021. As of May 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of$358,381however, the amount of that loss that could be carried forward to offset future taxes is indeterminable.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
We carried out an evaluation as required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of the CEO, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of May 31, 2021. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of May 31, 2021.
Report of Management on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. As of May 31, 2021, management has not completed an effective assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the 2013 Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) framework.
Management has concluded that as of May 31, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective to detect the inappropriate application of U.S. GAAP.
Management identified the following material weaknesses set forth below in our internal control over financial reporting:
• | We did not perform an effective risk assessment or monitor internal controls over financial reporting. |
• | There are insufficient written policies and procedures to ensure the correct application of accounting and financial reporting with respect to the current requirements of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and SEC disclosure requirements. |
• | Limited segregation of duties and oversight of work performed as well as lack of compensating controls in the Company’s finance and accounting functions. |
• | The Company lacks sufficient in-house expertise and training in complex accounting principles and SEC reporting and disclosure requirements. |
• | The Company’s systems that impact financial information and disclosures have ineffective information technology controls. |
• | The Company lacks a system of tracking obligations to identify and file income tax and other tax reports on a timely basis. |
A control system, no matter how well-conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the benefits of controls relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. Because of the inherent limitations in a control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
