Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Everything Blockchain, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”, “we”, “our”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the SEC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Description of Business
The Company’s early model was to earn revenue through social media advertising, fees, and services. Under this plan, the Company developed its white label software solution for BOTS under the 420 Cloud brand. After multiple attempts to secure acceptance in the market, the Company discontinued this operation during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020.
In April 2020 the Company divested and sold its white label software solution and changed direction of its business. The Company has become a developer, engineer, and consultant in the industry of blockchain technologies.
Subsidiaries of the Company
On April 26, 2021, in a settlement agreement with Render Payment, LLC (“Render”) owners, the Company became the sole owner of Render, in exchange for an outstanding accounts receivable the Company impaired in 2019. The settlement was considered a related party transaction and conducted as an arm’s length transaction approved by board members not associated with Render. As part of the transaction the Company recognized other income of $233,000 as fair market value (“FMV”) of the assets obtained under the settlement. The Company received two vehicles with FMV of $49,000 each and the Render Payment Processing Software with a FMV of $135,000.
On June 21, 2021, the Company acquired all of the equity interests of 832 Energy Technology Consultants, LLC (“832”), pursuant to a Purchase Agreement. Upon the closing of the transaction (the “832 Acquisition”), 832 became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. 832, which is located in Texas, has developed many innovations in the areas of distributed computing, artificial intelligence and blockchain. For information on the 832 Acquisition refer to “Note 4. 832 Acquisition”.
On June 30, 2021, the Company acquired all of the equity interests of Mercury, Inc. (“Mercury”), pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated April 24, 2021. Upon the closing of the transaction (the “Mercury Acquisition”), Mercury became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company has utilized Mercury, which is located in Idaho, as its hosting solution since May 2020. The Company with Mercury will launch its mining operations in the western United States. The Company will commence mining for Bitcoins, Ethereum, and other alternative cryptocurrencies. For information on the Mercury Acquisition refer to “Note 5. Mercury Acquisition”.
On July 31, 2021, the Company acquired all of the equity interests of Vengar Technologies LLC (“Vengar”), pursuant to a Purchase Agreement. Upon the closing of the transaction (the “Vengar Acquisition”), Vengar became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Vengar, which is located in Florida, has developed a zero trust protection software that the Company plans to integrate into its blockchain solutions. For information on the Vengar Acquisition refer to “Note 6. Vengar Acquisition”.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The most significant estimates and judgments relate to: revenue recognition; sales returns and other allowances; allowance for doubtful accounts; valuation of inventory; valuation and recoverability of long-lived assets; property and equipment; contingencies; and income taxes.
On a regular basis, management reviews its estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and accounts receivable.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables and commodities are limited due to the Company’s diverse group of customers. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts when events and circumstances regarding the collectability of its receivables or the selling of its commodities warrant based upon factors such as the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, other information and past bad debt history. The outstanding balances are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.
Revenues from one customer represent $1.0 million and $0 of the Company's revenue for the nine-month periods ended October 31, 2021 and 2000, respectfully.
Our cash balances are maintained in accounts held by major banks and financial institutions located in the United States. The Company may occasionally maintain amounts on deposit with a financial institution that are in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. The risk is managed by maintaining all deposits in high-quality financial institutions. The Company had $0.6 million in excess of federally insured limits on October 31, 2021.
Our cryptocurrency balances are maintained in accounts held by institutions located in and outside the United States. The Company maintains amounts on deposit that often exceed coverage from third party insured limit of up to $1,000,000. The risk is managed by maintaining multiple accounts with various accounts held in a cold storage wallet. The Company had $5.0 million in excess of amounts protected by insurance.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company includes in cash and cash equivalents all short-term, highly liquid investments that mature within three months of the date of purchase.
Basic and Diluted Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company follows ASC Topic 260 – Earnings Per Share, and FASB 2015-06, Earnings Per Share to account for earnings per share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect, calculated using (i) the “treasury stock” method for warrants and (ii) the “if converted” method for the preferred stock if their inclusion would not have been anti-dilutive.
Note 3. Going Concern
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Because the business is new and has a limited history, no certainty of continuation can be stated. The accompanying financial statements for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared to assume that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:
| · | Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer, |
| · | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract, |
| · | Determination of the transaction price, |
| · | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and, |
| · | Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation. |

Subscription and service revenue
Subscription and service revenue primarily consist of staking revenue. The Company participates in networks with proof-of-stake consensus algorithms, through creating or validating blocks on the network. In exchange for participating in the consensus mechanism of these networks, the Company earns rewards in the form of the native token of the network. Each block creation or validation is a performance obligation. Revenue is recognized at the point when the block creation or validation is complete, and the rewards are available for transfer. Revenue is measured based on the number of tokens received and the fair value of the token at the date of recognition.
Other revenues
The Company includes interest income as a part of revenue when generated from non-cash equivalents as other revenue within net revenue. Interest earned on cash and cash equivalents is included in corporate interest income, within other income.
Other revenue also includes the sale of crypto assets. The Company records the total value of the sale in other revenue and the cost of the crypto assets in cost of sales within the consolidated statements of operations.

BOTS is restricted from converting the Series B Preferred stock into common stock for a period of 24 months from the conversion. There was no gain or loss on conversion due to conversion terms. During the quarter ending July 31, 2021, BOTS returned to the treasury of the Company 250,000 shares of Series B Preferred stock in exchange for certain assets held by the Company (see Note 15). In addition, BOTS exchanged 125,000 shares of Series B Preferred stock with Epic Industry Corp and Paul Rosenberg in exchange for 50 million shares of BOTS stock held by Epic Industry Corp and Paul Rosenberg, for a total of 100 million BOTS common shares.
Note 11. Basic Income per Share
Basic Income Per Share - The computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. The basic income per share for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2021 was $0.38 and $0.92 per share, respectively. The loss per share for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020 was $(0.02) and $(6.90) per share, respectively.
Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company reports and accounts for its commitments and contingencies in accordance with ASC 440 – Commitments and ASC 450 – Contingencies. We recognize a loss on a contingency when it is probable a loss will incur and that the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company recognized $0 as a loss on contingencies in the three and nine months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020.

Note 13. Legal Proceedings
The Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims arising from contracts or other matters from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Management is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation where the ultimate disposition or resolution could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Cease and Desist Notice
On November 2, 2021, the Company received a cease and desist notice (the “Notice”) from First Genesis, Inc. (“First Genesis”). The Notice alleges, among other things, that Cedric Harris, the Company’s Chief Research Officer, and the Company were using First Genesis’ intellectual property. Mr. Harris, through 832, developed First Genesis’ intellectual property and has been providing First Genesis with consulting services. 832’s intellectual property, which Mr. Harris also developed, is completely different than the First Genesis intellectual property. We believe that the allege claims by First Genesis are without merit and the Company will continue to vigorously defend against the allegations in the Notice.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes presented in this report and in our Annual Report.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this section contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements contained in this report and not clearly historical in nature are forward-looking, and the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “intends,” “potential,” and similar expressions (as well as other words or expressions referencing future events, conditions or circumstances) generally are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Any statements in this report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those discussed from time to time in the Company's SEC filings. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement for events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made except as required by law.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
The executive overview of the MD&A highlights selected information and does not contain all of the information that is important to readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10Q.
Our strong results for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2021 reflect the strength of the crypto price cycle we entered in Q4 2020. We saw many crypto assets reach all time high prices, high levels of volatility, and increased interest across the entire blockchain. Crypto market capitalization reached $2 trillion at the end of the third quarter compared to $1 trillion at the end of last quarter of the last fiscal year. We are well positioned to take advantage of this market trend.
Our involvement in certain development projects since revamping our operations in April 2020 has provided substantial amounts of cryptocurrencies at entry point levels during initial roll out of new platforms and products. Accepting these payments in cryptocurrencies has opened the doors to staking and interest earning at unprecedented rates within the markets which has compounded our growth. While we accept certain and inherent risks associated with the volatility of the current blockchain markets, our involvement with clients birthing new products limits our risks to time, effort, and energy risks which shields us from the blockchain markets rise and falls. While we are not immune to the variances within the market, our basis of entry is often low and as such can withstand the day-to-day valuations of the market.
Despite our strong results, the rapid expansion of blockchain also creates challenges for us. Competition is increasing as new market entrants join the blockchain every month. Our competitors are supporting certain crypto assets that are experiencing large trading volume and growth in market capitalization that we do not currently participate in, as well as offering new products and services that we are developing and/or do not offer. We welcome these challenges as they indicate that the market we serve is growing rapidly, but we also have to continue to move quickly to address them, and that inspires us towards action and growth.
HISTORY AND BACKGROUND
Change of Control
On April 17, 2020 shares of Series A Preferred stock were issued to two parties effecting the Company’s change of control.
Business Model
The Company’s early model was to earn revenue through social media advertising, fees, and services. Under this plan, the Company developed its white label software solution for BOTS under the 420 Cloud brand. After multiple attempts to secure acceptance in the market, the Company discontinued this operation during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020.
In April 2020 the Company divested and sold its white label software solution and changed direction of its business. The Company has become a developer, engineer, and consultant in the industry of blockchain technologies.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to uncollectible receivables, inventory valuation, deferred compensation and contingencies.
We base our estimates on historical performance and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates allow us to make judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. If actual results or events differ materially from those contemplated by us in making these estimates, our reported financial condition and results of operations for future periods could be materially affected. No material change has occurred to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in the Annual Report.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include personnel costs, consultant fees, bank charges, telephone expenses, meals and entertainment, computer and internet expenses, postage and delivery, office supplies, professional fees, reporting fees, and other miscellaneous fees.
Our operating expenses increased by $0.2 million to $0.9 million for the three months ended October 31, 2021, from $0.7 million for the three months ended October 31, 2020. The primary reason for the increase was due to the acquisitions of Render, 832, Mercury, and Vengar, partially offset by a decrease in consulting expenses.
Our operating expenses decreased by $48.1 million to $1.8 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2021, from $49.9 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2020. The primary reason for the decrease was due to stock-based compensation of $49.2 million, which was recorded for the nine months ended October 31, 2020, partially offset by increases in operating expenses due to the acquisitions of Render, 832, Mercury, and Vengar.
Operating Income (Loss)
Our operating income increased by $3.9 million to operating income of $3.2 million for the three months ended October 31, 2021 as compared to an operating loss of $0.6 million for the three months ended October 31, 2020. The primary reason for the increase in operating income was due to the increase in revenue as discussed above.
Our operating income increased by $56.2 million to operating income of $6.3 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2021 as compared to an operating loss of $49.9 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2020. The primary reason for the increase in operating income was due to the increase in revenue and decrease in stock-based compensation as discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the nine months ended October 31, 2021 we gained $1.5 million in cash. Our cash on hand as October 31, 2021 was $1.5 million. Based on our revenues, cash on hand and current monthly burn rate, the Company can sustain its operations going forward.

Going Concern
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Because the business is relatively new and has a short history and relatively few sales, no certainty of continuation can be stated. The accompanying financial statements for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company and therefore, we are not required to provide information required by this Item of Form 10-Q.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
20 |
Table of Contents |
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2021. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures.
Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their desired control objectives. Additionally, in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures, management is required to apply its reasonable judgment. Based on the evaluation described above, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report because we did not document our Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404 internal controls and procedures.
As funds become available to us, we expect to implement additional measures to improve disclosure controls and procedures such as implementing and documenting our internal controls procedures.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended October 31, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and its Principal Financial Officer, do not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered 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. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. 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. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
