PART I

Item 1. Business.

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 22, 2013 under the name Lightcollar, Inc. On March 22, 2015, we changed our name to EMS Find, Inc., and in July 2017, we changed our name to Integrated Ventures, Inc. We have discontinued our prior operations and changed our business focus from our prior technologies relating to the EMS Find platform to acquiring, launching, and operating companies in the cryptocurrency sector, mainly in digital currency mining and sales of branded mining rigs. Our offices are located at 18385 Route 287, Tioga, PA 16946.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company owned a total of approximately 2,744 miners in three locations, Kearney, Nebraska, Tioga, Pennsylvania, and Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, the miners located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania were shipped to Wolf Hollow, Texas. Under our contract with Bitmain, which expired in July 2022, we received an additional 392 miners subsequent to June 30, 2022. Early in 2022, due to PetaWatt’s financial difficulties, the Company has discontinued its cryptocurrency mining operations in New York. All mining equipment previously operating in New York has been relocated to Tioga, Pennsylvania.  Some of these miners and new Bitmain miners delivered to Tioga, Pennsylvania and Kearney, Nebraska were connected and placed into service, effective April 2022. The Company estimates the miners now located in Wolf Hollow, Texas will be connected and placed into service in early October 2022. During the year ended June 30, 2022, the Company paid deposits totaling $6,261,491 (net of Wattum reimbursements) for additional miners.

The Company will continue to (1) raise capital to purchase new mining equipment, (2) sell older and no longer profitable models, and (3) expand cryptocurrency mining equipment to new locations.

Cryptocurrency Mining

Digital tokens are built on a distributed ledger infrastructure often referred to as a “blockchain.” These tokens can provide various rights, and cryptocurrency is a type of digital token, designed as a medium of exchange. Other digital tokens provide rights to use assets or services, or in some cases represent ownership interests. Cryptocurrencies, for example Bitcoin, are digital software that run on a blockchain platform, which is a decentralized, immutable ledger of transactions, and essentially function as a digital form of money. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin are not sponsored by any government or a single entity. Bitcoin is one type of intangible digital asset that is issued by, and transmitted through, an open source, math-based protocol platform using cryptographic security (the “Bitcoin Network”). The Bitcoin Network, for example, is an online, peer-to-peer user network that hosts the digital public transaction ledger, known as the “blockchain,” and the source code that comprises the basis for the cryptography and math-based protocols governing the Bitcoin Network. No single entity owns or operates the Bitcoin Network, the infrastructure of which is collectively maintained by a decentralized user base. Bitcoin can be used to pay for goods and services or can be converted to fiat currencies, such as the US Dollar, at rates determined on bitcoin exchanges or in individual end-user-to-end-user transactions under a barter system.

Bitcoin, for example, is “stored” on the blockchain, which is a digital file stored in a decentralized manner on the computers of each Bitcoin Network or as applicable to other cryptocurrency users. A blockchain records the transaction history of all bitcoins in existence and, through the transparent reporting of transactions, allows the cryptocurrency network to verify the association of each bitcoin with the digital wallet that owns them. The network and software programs can interpret the blockchain to determine the exact balance, if any, of any digital wallet listed in the blockchain as having taken part in a transaction on the cryptocurrency network.

Mining is the process by which bitcoins, for example, are created resulting in new blocks being added to the blockchain and new bitcoins being issued to the miners. Miners engage in a set of prescribed complex mathematical calculations in order to add a block to the blockchain and thereby confirm cryptocurrency transactions included in that block’s data. Miners that are successful in adding a block to the blockchain are automatically awarded a fixed number of bitcoins for their effort. To begin mining, a user can download and run the network mining software, which turns the user’s computer into a node on the network that validates blocks.

All bitcoin transactions are recorded in blocks added to the blockchain. Each block contains the details of some or all of the most recent transactions that are not memorialized in prior blocks, a reference to the most recent prior block, and a record of the award of bitcoins to the miner who added the new block. Each unique block can only be solved and added to the blockchain by one miner; therefore, all individual miners and mining pools on the cryptocurrency network are engaged in a competitive process and are incentivized to increase their computing power to improve their likelihood of solving for new blocks.

The method for creating new bitcoins is mathematically controlled in a manner so that the supply of bitcoins grows at a limited rate pursuant to a predetermined schedule. Mining economics has also been much more pressured by the Difficulty Rate – a computation used by miners to determine the amount of computing power required to mine bitcoin. The Difficulty Rate is directly influenced by the total size of the entire Bitcoin network. The Bitcoin network has grown 15-fold in the past year, resulting in a 15-fold increase in difficulty. Today, the network requires the computing power of approximately 350 Bitmain S19 miners to mine one Bitcoin per day, using approximately 1.5 MegaWatt of power supply. Meanwhile, demand from miners also drove up hardware and power prices, the largest costs of production. This deliberately controlled rate of bitcoin creation means that the number of bitcoins in existence will never exceed 21 million and that bitcoins cannot be devalued through excessive production unless the Bitcoin Network’s source code (and the underlying protocol for bitcoin issuance) is altered.

Mining pools have developed in which multiple miners act cohesively and combine their processing power to solve blocks. When a pool solves a new block, the participating mining pool members split the resulting reward based on the processing power they each contributed to solve for such block. The mining pool operator provides a service that coordinates the workers. Fees are paid to the mining pool operator to cover the costs of maintaining the pool. The pool uses software that coordinates the pool members’ hashing power, identifies new block rewards, records how much work all the participants are doing, and assigns block rewards in proportion to the participants’ efforts. While we do not pay pool fees directly, pool fees (approximately 2% to 5%) are deducted from amounts we may otherwise earn. Participation in such pools is essential for our mining business.

Our Cryptocurrency Operations

We utilize and rely on cryptocurrency pools to mine cryptocurrencies and generate a mixed selection of digital cryptocurrencies, including BTC, ETH, ZEC and LTC. Cryptocurrency payouts, net of applicable fees, are paid to us by the pool operator, Foundry Digital, LLC, and the digital currency produced is either stored in a wallet (Coinbase) or sold in open market. Payout proceeds are automatically deposited in our corporate bank accounts.

In our digital currency mining operations, various models of miners are owned and deployed by the Company.

When funds are available and market conditions allow, we also invest in certain denominations of cryptocurrencies to complement our mining operations. We consider these investments similar to marketable securities where we purchase and hold the cryptocurrencies for sale. We report realized gains and losses on the sales of cryptocurrencies and mark our portfolio of cryptocurrencies to market at the end of each quarterly reporting period, reporting unrealized gains or losses on the investments.

Other developments during our fiscal year ended June 30, 2022

On June 3, 2022, the Company and Compute North entered into a second Master Agreement for the colocation and management of the Company’s cryptocurrency mining operations.  The Company executed Order Forms to Compute North to determine the number of cryptocurrency miners, the term of the services provided and the contractual rate per kilowatt hour of electricity consumed in the Company’s cryptocurrency mining operations.  The agreement also provides the Company the option to purchase cryptocurrency mining equipment from Compute North.  No cryptocurrency mining equipment has been purchased under this agreement. The final Order Form was to host 1,675 miners in Wolf Hollow, Texas for a term of 5 years. This agreement required an initial deposit of $500,000, which had not been paid as of June 30, 2022. The Company has an ongoing obligation under the agreement to pay monthly a contractual rate per kilowatt hour of electricity consumed in the Company’s cryptocurrency mining operations.  Full mining operations had not commenced as of June 30, 2022. The Company estimates these miners will be connected and placed into service in early October 2022.

Subsequent to June 30, 2022, the Company entered into two letter agreements in connection with a previous offering described as follows.  On March 30, 2021, Integrated Ventures, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into securities purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with two institutional investors (the “Purchasers”), for the offering (the “Offering”) of (i) 30,000,000 shares of common stock (“Shares”), par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) and (ii) common stock purchase warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock, which are exercisable for a period of five years after issuance at an initial exercise price of $0.30 per share, subject to certain adjustments, as provided in the Warrants, with each of the Purchasers receiving Warrants in the amount equal to 100% of the number of Shares purchased by such Purchaser and each Share and accompanying Warrant offered at a combined offering price of $0.30.

On September 13, 2022, the Company and one of the Purchasers entered into a letter agreement (the “September 13 Amendment Agreement”) whereby the Company agreed to amend the terms of such Purchaser’s Warrants to purchase up to 15 million shares to provide effective as of June 29, 2022 reduce the exercise price thereof to $0.001, subject to adjustment therein, and waive the “exploding feature” of the Anti-Dilution Provision in the Warrant that would otherwise have effected an increase in the number of warrant shares as a result of an exercise price reduction so as to result in the same aggregate value of the warrant shares multiplied by the exercise price. Additionally, other than an Exempt Issuance, as defined in the Warrants, from the date hereof until 90 days after the date hereof, neither the Company nor any subsidiary of the Company may issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Warrants).

On September 15, 2022, the Company and the other Purchaser entered into a letter agreement (the “September 15 Amendment Agreement”) whereby the Company agreed to amend the terms of such Purchaser’s Warrants to purchase up to 15 million shares, effective as of August 30, 2022, to reduce the exercise price thereof to $0.001, subject to adjustment therein, and waive the “exploding feature” of the Anti-Dilution Provision in the Warrant that would otherwise have effected an increase in the number of warrant shares as a result of an exercise price reduction so as to result in the same aggregate value of the warrant shares multiplied by the exercise price. Additionally, other than an Exempt Issuance, as defined in the Warrants, from the date hereof until 90 days after the date hereof, neither the Company nor any subsidiary of the Company may issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Warrants).

The Digital Currency Markets and Trend Information

The value of bitcoins is determined by the supply and demand of bitcoins in the bitcoin exchange market (and in private end-user-to-end-user transactions), as well as the number of merchants that accept them. As bitcoin transactions can be broadcast to the Bitcoin Network by any user’s bitcoin software and bitcoins can be transferred without the involvement of intermediaries or third parties, there are little or no transaction costs in direct peer-to-peer transactions on the Bitcoin Network. Third party service providers such as crypto currency exchanges and bitcoin third party payment processing services may charge significant fees for processing transactions and for converting, or facilitating the conversion of, bitcoins to or from fiat currency.

Under the peer-to-peer framework of the Bitcoin Network, transferors and recipients of bitcoins are able to determine the value of the bitcoins transferred by mutual agreement, the most common means of determining the value of a bitcoin being by surveying one or more bitcoin exchanges where bitcoins are publicly bought, sold and traded, i.e., the Bitcoin Exchange Market (“Bitcoin Exchange”).

On each Bitcoin Exchange, bitcoins are traded with publicly disclosed valuations for each transaction, measured by one or more fiat currencies. Bitcoin Exchanges report publicly on their site the valuation of each transaction and bid and ask prices for the purchase or sale of bitcoins. Market participants can choose the Bitcoin Exchange on which to buy or sell bitcoins. To date, while the SEC has brought several enforcement actions against and rejected many proposals for bitcoin ETF’s, citing lack of enough transparency in the cryptocurrency markets to be sure that prices are not being manipulated, the SEC has approved several bitcoin futures ETFs.

Although the cryptocurrency markets have been historically volatile and have weathered several up and down cycles over the past few years, recently these markets have been in a selloff phase for the past several months, possibly reflecting doubts as to the applicability of digital currencies in commercial applications and other factors. In this selloff, prices of digital currencies other than Bitcoin have experienced deeper percentage declines than Bitcoin. The current trading range for Bitcoin is $19,000 to $25,000. Other cryptocurrencies have experienced more substantial declines, than Bitcoin’s recent decline. Our revenues are directly affected by the Bitcoin market price specifically, which is the market leader for prices of all cryptocurrencies. In recent weeks, regulatory crackdowns have also weighed on prices. The SEC recently announced its first civil penalties against cryptocurrency founders as part of a wide regulatory and legal crackdown on fraud and abuses in the industry.

Competition

In cryptocurrency mining, companies, individuals and groups generate units of cryptocurrency through mining. Miners can range from individual enthusiasts to professional mining operations with dedicated data centers, with all of which we compete. Miners may organize themselves in mining pools, with which we would compete. The Company currently participates in mining pools and may decide to invest or initiate operations in mining pools. At present, the information concerning the activities of these enterprises is not readily available as the vast majority of the participants in this sector do not publish information publicly or the information may be unreliable.

Government Regulation

Government regulation of blockchain and cryptocurrency under review with a number of government agencies, the SEC, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Federal Trade Commission and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and in other countries. State government regulations also may apply to certain activities such as cryptocurrency exchanges (bitlicense, banking and money transmission regulations) and other activities. Other bodies which may have an interest in regulating or investigating companies engaged in the blockchain or cryptocurrency business include the national securities exchanges and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. As the regulatory and legal environment evolves, the Company may in its mining activities become subject to new laws, and further regulation by the SEC and other agencies. On November 16, 2018, the SEC issued a Statement on Digital Asset Securities Issuance and Trading, in which it emphasized that market participants must still adhere to the SEC’s well-established and well-functioning federal securities law framework when dealing with technological innovations, regardless of whether the securities are issued in certificated form or using new technologies, such as blockchain. On March 9, 2022 President Biden signed an executive order on cryptocurrencies. While the executive order did not mandate any specific regulations, it instructs various federal agencies to consider potential regulatory measures, including the evaluation of the creation of a U.S. Central Bank digital currency. Future changes to existing regulations or entirely new regulations may affect our business in ways it is not presently possible for us to predict with any reasonable degree of reliability. As the regulatory and legal environment evolves, we may become subject to new laws and regulation which may affect our mining and other activities. For additional discussion regarding our belief about the potential risks existing and future regulation pose to our business, see the Section entitled “Risk Factors” herein.

Blockchain and cryptocurrency regulations are in a nascent state with agencies investigating businesses and their practices, gathering information, and generally trying to understand the risks and uncertainties in order to protect investors in these businesses and in cryptocurrencies generally. Various bills have also been proposed in Congress for adoption related to our business which may be adopted and have an impact on us. The offer and sale of digital assets in initial coin offerings, which is not an activity we expect to pursue, has been a central focus of recent regulatory inquiries. On November 16, 2018, the SEC settled with two cryptocurrency startups, and reportedly has more than 100 investigations into cryptocurrency related ventures, according to a codirector of the SEC’s enforcement division (Wall Street Journal, November 17-18, 2018). An annual report by the SEC shows that digital currency scams are among the agency’s top enforcement priorities. The SEC is focused in particular on Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), which involve the sale of digital tokens related to blockchain projects. Many such projects have failed to deliver on their promises or turned out to be outright scams. In the past year, the enforcement division has opened dozens of investigations involving ICOs and digital assets, many of which were ongoing at the close of FY 2018, the SEC states in a section of the report titled “ICOs and Digital Assets.” Moreover, in recent months, members of Congress have made inquiries into the regulation of crypto assets, and Gary Gensler, Chair of the SEC, has made public statements regarding increased regulatory oversight of crypto assets.

Financial

As of June 30, 2022, we operated our cryptocurrency mining operations in two hosting facilities, located in Tioga, PA and Kearney, NE.  Effective October 1, 2022, we expected to launch mining operations in Wolf Hollow, TX. The hosting and power purchase agreements for the three facilities require the Company to pay monthly a contractual rate per kilowatt hour of electricity consumed in the Company’s cryptocurrency mining operations. The Company is aggressively looking to expand its power capacity and is currently negotiating purchase or investment in multiple real estate properties capable of being deployed as data centers for cryptocurrency mining operations.

Our mining pool services are exclusively provided by Foundry Digital, LLC, a company bases in the United States.

Revenues from our cryptocurrency mining operations were $4,871,473 and $1,793,316 for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Revenues from the sales of crypto currency mining equipment were $1,678,660 and $58,074 for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

When funds are available and market conditions allow, we also invest in certain denominations of cryptocurrencies to complement our mining operations. We consider these investments similar to marketable securities where we purchase and hold the cryptocurrencies for sale. We report realized gains and losses on the sales of cryptocurrencies net of transaction costs. As of June 30, 2022, our digital currencies at cost totaled $72,885 and were comprised of multiple denominations, primarily of Bitcoin (BTC).

Historically, we have funded our operations primarily from cash generated from our digital currency mining operations and proceeds from convertible notes payable and preferred stock. During the year ended June 30, 2022, we generated sufficient cash flow from operations and from the sale of digital currencies and were only required to enter one Loan Agreement and Promissory Note in the amount of $500,000 to fund the deposit required to execute the Hosting Agreement with Compute North. As part of the Loan Agreement, we issued two million shares of common stock to induce the lender.

Additional Capital Requirements

To continue to operate, complete and successfully operate our digital currency mining facilities and to fund future operations, we may need to raise additional capital for expansion or other expenses of operations. The amount and timing of future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the timing and results of our ongoing mining operations, and potential new development and administrative support expenses. We anticipate that we will seek to fund our operations through our cryptocurrency mining operations, further liquidation of our marketable securities, public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, such as potential collaboration agreements. If additional financing is required, we cannot be certain that it will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all.

Employees and Employment Agreements

We presently have one full time employee, Steve Rubakh, our sole officer and director, who devotes 100% of his time to our operations. In addition, we rely on a group of subcontractors to build, install, manage, monitor and service our mining equipment. We presently do not have pension, health, annuity, insurance, stock options, profit sharing or similar benefit plans; however, we may adopt such plans in the future. There are presently no personal benefits available to any officers, directors or employees; however, we at times do reimburse Mr. Rubakh for certain health insurance and medical costs.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Risks Related to Our Business

Because we are an early-stage company with minimal revenue and a history of losses and we expect to continue to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future, we cannot assure you that we can or will be able to operate profitably.

We have incurred losses since our organization, and are subject to the risks common to start-up, pre-revenue enterprises, including, among other factors, undercapitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources and lack of revenues. We cannot assure you that we will be able to operate profitably or generate positive cash flow. If we cannot achieve profitability, we may be forced to cease operations and you may suffer a total loss of your investment.

An investment in the company must be considered speculative since our operations are dependent on the market value of Bitcoin.

Our operations are dependent on the continued viable market performance of cryptocurrencies that we market and, in particular, the market value of Bitcoin. The decision to pursue blockchain and digital currency businesses exposes the Company to risks associated with a new and untested strategic direction. Under the current accounting rules, cryptocurrency is not cash, currency or a financial asset, but an indefinite-lived intangible asset; declines in the market price of cryptocurrencies would be included in earnings, whereas increases in value beyond the original cost or recoveries of previous declines in value would not be captured. The prices of digital currencies have varied wildly in recent periods and reflects “bubble” type volatility, meaning that high prices may have little or no merit, may be subject to rapidly changing investor sentiment, and may be influenced by factors such as technology, regulatory void or changes, fraudulent actors, manipulation and media reporting.

Natural disasters and geo-political events could adversely affect our business.

Natural disasters, including hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons, tropical storms, floods, earthquakes and tsunamis, weather conditions, including winter storms, droughts and tornados, whether as a result of climate change or otherwise, and geo-political events, including civil unrest or terrorist attacks, that affect us, or other service providers could adversely affect our business. Specifically, if the weather conditions in Tioga, Pennsylvania, Kearney, Nebraska or Wolf Hollow, TX, become too hot, or too humid, we may be required to install additional AC units to cool the cryptocurrency mining equipment which will greatly affect our profit margins. In addition, too much humidity in the air may damage our equipment or require us to install expensive dehumidifiers further lowering our profit margins.

Raising additional capital may cause dilution to our existing stockholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights.

We may seek additional capital through a combination of private and public equity offerings, debt financings collaborations and strategic and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of common stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, current stockholders’ ownership interest in the Company will be diluted. In addition, the terms may include liquidation or other preferences that materially adversely affect their rights as a stockholder. Debt financing, if available, would increase our fixed payment obligations and may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through collaboration, strategic alliance and licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our product candidates, our intellectual property, future revenue streams or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.

We are increasingly dependent on information technology systems and infrastructure (cyber security).

Our operations are potentially vulnerable to breakdown or other interruption by fire, power loss, system malfunction, unauthorized access and other events such as computer hackings, cyber-attacks, computer viruses, worms or other destructive or disruptive software. Likewise, data privacy breaches by employees and others with permitted access to our systems may pose a risk that sensitive data may be exposed to unauthorized persons or to the public. It is critical that our systems provide a continued and uninterrupted performance for our business to generate revenues. There can be no assurance that our efforts will prevent significant breakdowns, breaches in our systems or other cyber incidents that could have a material adverse effect upon our business, operations or financial condition of the Company.

If we are unable to attract, train and retain technical and financial personnel, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

Our future success depends, to a significant extent, on our ability to attract, train and retain key management, technical, regulatory and financial personnel. Recruiting and retaining capable personnel with experience in pharmaceutical products is vital to our success. There is substantial competition for qualified personnel, and competition is likely to increase. We cannot assure you we will be able to attract or retain the technical and financial personnel we require. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified employees, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

We depend heavily on our chief executive officer, and his departure could harm our business.

The expertise and efforts of Steve Rubakh, our Chief Executive Officer, are critical to the success of our business. The loss of Mr. Rubakh’s services could significantly undermine our management expertise and our ability to operate our Company.

Our auditors’ report includes a going concern paragraph.

Our financial statements include a going-concern qualification from our auditors, which expresses doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have operated at a loss since inception. Our ability to operate profitably is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing for our operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that take into consideration the uncertainty of our ability to continue operations.

Risks Relating Generally to Our Operations and Technology

Currently, there is relatively limited use of Bitcoin in the retail and commercial marketplace in comparison to relatively large use by speculators, thus contributing to price volatility that could adversely affect our results of operations.

Bitcoin has only recently become accepted as a means of payment for goods and services by certain major retail and commercial outlets and use of Bitcoin by consumers to pay such retail and commercial outlets remains limited. Conversely, a significant portion of Bitcoin demand is generated by speculators and investors seeking to profit from the short- or long-term holding of Bitcoin. Many industry commentators believe that Bitcoin’s best use case is as a store of wealth, rather than as a currency for transactions, and that other cryptocurrencies having better scalability and faster settlement times will better serve as currency. This could limit Bitcoin’s acceptance as transactional currency. A lack of expansion by Bitcoin into retail and commercial markets, or a contraction of such use, may result in increased volatility or a reduction in the Bitcoin Index Price, either of which could adversely affect our results of operations.

We are reliant on pools of users or miners that are the sole outlet for sales of cryptocurrencies that we mine.

We do not have the ability to sell our cryptocurrency production directly on the exchanges or markets that are currently where cryptocurrencies are purchased and traded. Pools are operated to pool the production on a daily of companies mining cryptocurrencies, and these pools are our sole means of selling our production of cryptocurrencies. Absent access to such pools, we would be forced to seek a different method of access to the cryptocurrency markets. There is no assurance that we could arrange any alternate access to dispose of our mining production.

We may not be able to respond quickly enough to changes in technology and technological risks, and to develop our intellectual property into commercially viable products.

Changes in legislative, regulatory or industry requirements or in competitive technologies may render certain of our planned products obsolete or less attractive. Our mining equipment may become obsolete, and our ability to anticipate changes in technology and regulatory standards and to successfully develop and introduce new and enhanced products on a timely basis will be a significant factor in our ability to remain competitive. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to achieve the technological advances that may be necessary for us to remain competitive or that certain of our products will not become obsolete.

The SEC is continuing its probes into public companies that appear to incorporate and seek to capitalize on blockchain technology, and may increase those efforts with novel regulatory regimes and determine to issue additional regulations applicable to the conduct of our business or broadening disclosures in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

As the SEC stated previously, it is continuing to scrutinize and commence enforcement actions against companies, advisors and investors involved in the offering of cryptocurrencies and related activities. At least one Federal Court has held that cryptocurrencies are “securities” for certain purposes under the Federal Securities Laws.

According to a report published by Lex Machina, securities litigation in general and those that are related to blockchain, cryptocurrency or bitcoin specifically, showed a marked increase during the first two quarters of 2018 as compared to 2017. The total number of securities cases that referenced “blockchain,” “cryptocurrency” or “bitcoin” in the pleadings tripled in the first half of 2018 alone compared to 2017. On the same day, the SEC announced its first charge against unregistered broker-dealers for selling digital tokens after the SEC issued The DAO Report in 2017. The SEC charged TokenLot LLC (TokenLot), a self-described “ICO Superstore”, and its owners, Lenny Kugel and Eli L. Lewitt, with failing to register as broker-dealers. On November 16, 2018 the SEC settled with two cryptocurrency startups, and reportedly has more than 100 investigations into cryptocurrency related ventures, according to a codirector of the SEC’s enforcement. As the regulatory and legal environment evolves, the Company may in its mining activities become subject to new laws, and further regulation by the SEC and other federal and state agencies.

On February 11, 2020, the SEC filed charges against an Ohio-based businessman who allegedly orchestrated a digital asset scheme that defrauded approximately 150 investors, including many physicians. The agency alleges that Michael W. Ackerman, along with two business partners, raised at least $33 million by claiming to investors that he had developed a proprietary algorithm that allowed him to generate extraordinary profits while trading in cryptocurrencies. The SEC’s complaint alleges that Ackerman misled investors about the performance of his digital currency trading, his use of investor funds, and the safety of investor funds in the Q3 trading account. The complaint further alleges that Ackerman doctored computer screenshots taken of Q3’s trading account to create. In reality, as alleged, at no time did Q3’s trading account hold more than $6 million and Ackerman was personally enriching himself by using $7.5 million of investor funds to purchase and renovate a house, purchase high end jewelry, multiple cars, and pay for personal security services.

On March 16, 2020, the SEC obtained an asset freeze and other emergency relief to halt an ongoing securities fraud perpetrated by a former state senator and two others who bilked investors in and outside the U.S. and obtained an asset freeze and other emergency relief to halt an ongoing securities fraud perpetrated by a former state senator and two others who bilked investors in and outside the U.S. The SEC’s complaint alleges that Florida residents Robert Dunlap and Nicole Bowdler worked with former Washington state senator David Schmidt to market and sell a purported digital asset called the “Meta 1 Coin” in an unregistered securities offering, conducted through the Meta 1 Coin Trust. The complaint alleges that the defendants made numerous false and misleading statements to potential and actual investors, including claims that the Meta 1 Coin was backed by a $1 billion art collection or $2 billion of gold, and that an accounting firm was auditing the gold assets. The defendants also allegedly told investors that the Meta 1 Coin was risk-free, would never lose value and could return up to 224,923%. According to the complaint, the defendants never distributed the Meta 1 Coins and instead used investor funds to pay personal expenses and for other personal purposes. The SEC continues to actively prosecute cases involving digital assets, digital securities, cryptocurrencies or other operations involving blockchain technology.

Banks and financial institutions may not provide banking services, or may cut off services, to businesses that provide digital currency-related services or that accept digital currencies as payment, including financial institutions of investors in our securities.

A number of companies that provide bitcoin and/or other digital currency-related services have been unable to find banks or financial institutions that are willing to provide them with bank accounts and other services. Similarly, a number of companies and individuals or businesses associated with digital currencies may have had and may continue to have their existing bank accounts closed or services discontinued with financial institutions in response to government action, particularly in China, where regulatory response to digital currencies has been particularly harsh. We also may be unable to obtain or maintain these services for our business. The difficulty that many businesses that provide bitcoin and/or derivatives on other digital currency-related services have and may continue to have in finding banks and financial institutions willing to provide them services may be decreasing the usefulness of digital currencies as a payment system and harming public perception of digital currencies, and could decrease their usefulness and harm their public perception in the future.

It may be illegal now, or in the future, to acquire, own, hold, sell or use Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other cryptocurrencies, participate in the blockchain or utilize similar digital assets in one or more countries, the ruling of which could adversely affect the company.

Although currently Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies, the Blockchain and digital assets generally are not regulated or are lightly regulated in most countries, including the United States, one or more countries such as China and Russia may take regulatory actions in the future that could severely restrict the right to acquire, own, hold, sell or use these digital assets or to exchange for fiat currency. Such restrictions may adversely affect the Company. Such circumstances could have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, prospects or operations of the Company and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies the Company holds or expects to acquire for its own account and harm investors.

If regulatory changes or interpretations require the regulation of Bitcoin or other digital assets under the securities laws of the United States or elsewhere, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the Investment Company Act of 1940 or similar laws of other jurisdictions and interpretations by the SEC, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”), the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), Department of Treasury or other agencies or authorities, the Company may be required to register and comply with such regulations, including at a state or local level. To the extent that the Company decides to continue operations, the required registrations and regulatory compliance steps may result in extraordinary expense or burdens to the Company. The Company may also decide to cease certain operations. Any disruption of the Company’s operations in response to the changed regulatory circumstances may be at a time that is disadvantageous to the Company.

Our digital currencies may be subject to loss, theft or restriction on access.

There is a risk that some or all of our digital currencies could be lost or stolen. Digital currencies are stored in digital currency sites commonly referred to as “wallets” by holders of digital currencies which may be accessed to exchange a holder’s digital currency assets. Hackers or malicious actors may launch attacks to steal, compromise or secure digital currencies, such as by attacking the digital currency network source code, exchange miners, third-party platforms, cold and hot storage locations or software, or by other means. We may be in control and possession of one of the more substantial holdings of digital currency. As we increase in size, we may become a more appealing target of hackers, malware, cyber-attacks or other security threats. Any of these events may adversely affect our operations and, consequently, our investments and profitability. The loss or destruction of a private key required to access our digital wallets may be irreversible and we may be denied access for all time to our digital currency holdings or the holdings of others held in those compromised wallets. Our loss of access to our private keys or our experience of a data loss relating to our digital wallets could adversely affect our investments and assets.

Incorrect or fraudulent digital currency transactions may be irreversible.

Once a transaction has been verified and recorded in a block that is added to a blockchain, an incorrect transfer of a digital currency or a theft thereof generally will not be reversible and we may not have sufficient recourse to recover our losses from any such transfer or theft. It is possible that, through computer or human error, or through theft or criminal action, our digital currency rewards could be transferred in incorrect amounts or to unauthorized third parties, or to uncontrolled accounts. Further, at this time, there is no specifically enumerated U.S. or foreign governmental, regulatory, investigative or prosecutorial authority or mechanism through which to bring an action or complaint regarding missing or stolen digital currency. To the extent that we are unable to recover our losses from such action, error or theft, such events could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue our new strategy at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations of and potentially the value of any bitcoin or other digital currencies we mine or otherwise acquire or hold for our own account.

We are subject to risks associated with our need for significant electrical power, therefore, government regulators may potentially restrict the ability of electricity suppliers to provide electricity to mining operations, such as ours.

The operation of a bitcoin or other digital currency mine can require massive amounts of electrical power. We are reliant on Tioga Holding, LLC and Compute North, LLC for the power supply for our mining operations. Our mining operations can only be successful and ultimately profitable if the costs, including electrical power costs, associated with mining a bitcoin are lower than the price of a bitcoin. As a result, any mine we establish can only be successful if we can obtain sufficient electrical power for that mine on a cost-effective basis with a reliable supplier, and our establishment of new mines requires us to find locations where that is the case. There may be significant competition for suitable mine locations, and government regulators may potentially restrict the ability of electricity suppliers to provide electricity to mining operations in times of electricity shortage, or may otherwise potentially restrict or prohibit the provision or electricity to mining operations. If we are unable to receive adequate power supply and are forced to reduce our operations due to the availability or cost of electrical power, our business would experience materially negative impacts.

We have increased our investments in cryptocurrencies, the market value of which may be subject to significant fluctuations.

When funds are available and market conditions allow, current strategy is to invest in certain denominations of cryptocurrencies to complement our mining operations. We consider these investments similar to marketable securities where we purchase and hold the cryptocurrencies for sale. We report realized gains and losses on the sales of cryptocurrencies and mark our portfolio of cryptocurrencies to market at the end of each quarterly reporting period, reporting unrealized gains or losses on the investments. The market value of these investments may fluctuate materially, and we may be subject to investment losses on the change in market value.

Risks Related to the Coronavirus Pandemic

The future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on companies is evolving and we are currently unable to assess with certainty the broad effects of COVID-19 on our business.

The future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on companies is evolving and we are currently unable to assess with certainty the broad effects of COVID-19 on our business, particularly on the digital currency markets. As of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, our investment in property and equipment of $13,281,384 and $3,159,523, respectively, could be subject to impairment or change in valuation due to COVID-19 if our cryptocurrency mining revenues significantly decrease or we are not able to raise capital sufficient to fund our operations. In addition, any travel restrictions and social distancing requirements may make it difficult for our management to access and oversee our operations in New York and Nebraska.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a material negative impact on capital markets, including the market prices of digital currencies. While we continue to incur operating losses, we are currently dependent on debt or equity financing to fund our operations and execute our business plan, including ongoing requirements to replace old and nonprofitable mining machines. We believe that the impact on capital markets of COVID-19 may make it more costly and more difficult for us to access these sources of funding.

Our business can potentially be impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 as follows: (1) effect our financial condition, operating results and reduce cash flows; (2) cause disruption to the activities of equipment suppliers; (3) negatively effect the Company’s mining activities due to imposition of related public health measures and travel and business restrictions; (4) create disruptions to our core operations in New York and Nebraska due to quarantines and self-isolations; (5) restrict the Company’s ability and that of its employees to access facilities and perform equipment maintenance, repairs, and programming which will lead to inability to monitor and service miners, resulting in reduced ability to mine cryptocurrencies due to miners being offline.

In addition, our partners such as manufacturers, suppliers and sub-contractors will be disrupted by absenteeism, quarantines and travel restrictions resulting in their employees’ ability to work. The Company’s supply chain, shipments of parts and purchases of new products may be negatively affected. Such disruptions could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic is an emerging serious threat to health and economic wellbeing affecting our employees, investors and our sources of supply.

The sweeping nature of the novel COVID-19 pandemic makes it extremely difficult to predict how the Company’s business and operations will be affected in the long run. However, the likely overall economic impact of the pandemic is viewed as highly negative to the general economy.

Risks Related to Our Securities

Our lack of internal controls over financial reporting may affect the market for and price of our common stock.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we are required to file a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting. Our disclosure controls and our internal controls over financial reporting are not effective. We do not have the financial resources or personnel to develop or implement systems that would provide us with the necessary information on a timely basis so as to be able to implement financial controls. The absence of internal controls over financial reporting may inhibit investors from purchasing our stock and may make it more difficult for us to raise capital or borrow money. Implementing any appropriate changes to our internal controls may require specific compliance training of our directors and employees, entail substantial costs in order to modify our existing accounting systems, take a significant period of time to complete and divert management’s attention from other business concerns. These changes may not, however, be effective in developing or maintaining internal control.

Our common stock is deemed to be “penny stock,” which may make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares due to disclosure and suitability requirements.

Our common stock is deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our stock price to decline. Penny stocks are stock:

Broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover, broker-dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. Many brokers have decided not to trade “penny stocks” because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. In the event that we remain subject to the “penny stock rules” for any significant period, there may develop an adverse impact on the market, if any, for our securities.

FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (referred to as FINRA) has adopted rules requiring that, in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative or low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA has indicated its belief that there is a high probability that speculative or low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. If these FINRA requirements are applicable to us or our securities, they may make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that at least some of their customers buy our common stock, which may limit the ability of our stockholders to buy and sell our common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market for and price of our common stock.

The market price for our common stock may be volatile and your investment in our common stock could suffer a decline in value.

The trading volume in our stock is low, which may result in volatility in our stock price. As a result, any reported prices may not reflect the price at which you would be able to sell shares of common stock if you want to sell any shares you own or buy if you wish to buy shares. Further, stocks with a low trading volume may be more subject to manipulation than a stock that has a significant public float and is actively traded. The price of our stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following, in addition to the risks described above and general market and economic conditions:

Raising funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities could dilute the net tangible book value of the common stock and impose restrictions on our working capital.

We anticipate that we will require funds in addition to the net proceeds from this offering for our business.

We will need to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may not which is less than the market price and which may be based on a discount from market at the time of issuance. Stockholders will incur dilution upon exercise of any outstanding stock options, warrants or upon the issuance of shares of common stock under our present and future stock incentive programs. If we were to raise capital by issuing equity securities, either alone or in connection with a non-equity financing, the net tangible book value of the then outstanding common stock could decline. If the additional equity securities were issued at a per share price less than the market price, which is customary in the private placement of equity securities, the holders of the outstanding shares would suffer dilution, which could be significant. Further, if we are able to raise funds from the sale of debt securities, the lenders may impose restrictions on our operations and may impair our working capital as we service any such debt obligations. In addition, the sale of shares and any future sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the price of our common stock. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares of common stock or the availability of those shares of common stock for sale will have on the market price of our common stock.

We may issue preferred stock whose terms could adversely affect the voting power or value of our common stock.

Our articles of incorporation authorize us to issue, without the approval of our stockholders, one or more classes or series of preferred stock having such designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights, including preferences over our common stock respecting dividends and distributions, as our board of directors may determine. We have outstanding shares of our Series A super-voting preferred stock and Series B convertible preferred stock, the terms of which adversely impact the voting power or value of our common stock. Similarly, the repurchase or redemption rights or liquidation preferences included in a series of preferred stock issued in the future might provide to holders of preferred stock rights that could affect the residual value of the common stock. 

Because certain existing stockholders own a large percentage of our voting stock, other stockholders’ voting power may be limited.

Steve Rubakh, our Chief Executive Officer, owns and/or controls a majority of the voting power of our common stock. As a result, Mr. Rubakh will have the ability to control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election and removal of directors and the approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This stockholder, who is also our sole director, may make decisions that are averse to or in conflict with your interests.

We do not have a majority of independent directors on our board and the company has not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures, in the absence of which stockholders may have more limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.

Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or the NASDAQ Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges are those that address board of directors’ independence, audit committee oversight, and the adoption of a code of ethics. We have not yet adopted any of these other corporate governance measures and since our securities are not yet listed on a national securities exchange, we are not required to do so. If we expand our board membership in future periods to include additional independent directors, we may seek to establish an audit and other committee of our board of directors. It is possible that if our Board of Directors included a number of independent directors and if we were to adopt some or all of these corporate governance measures requiring expansion of our board of directors, stockholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurance that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors. In evaluating our Company, our current lack of corporate governance measures should be borne in mind.

Our share price is volatile and may be influenced by numerous factors that are beyond our control.

Market prices for shares of technology companies such as ours are often volatile. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, most of which we cannot control, including:

We have no current plans to pay dividends on our common stock and investors must look solely to stock appreciation for a return on their investment in us.

We do not anticipate paying any further cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain all future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business. Any payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, statutory and contractual restrictions applying to the payment of dividends and other considerations that the board of directors deems relevant. Investors may need to rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize a return on their investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

Disclosure under this Item 1B is not required of smaller reporting companies.

Item 2. Properties.

Our corporate offices are located at 18385 Route 287, Tioga, PA 16946. Our telephone number is (215) 613-9898. We occupy a 450 square foot facility, at no cost to the Company, where we maintain and manage corporate accounting and perform research and development and equipment repair services. Our cryptocurrency mining operations are currently located in two hosted facilities in Tioga, Pennsylvania, and Kearney, Nebraska. The hosting and power purchase agreements for the two facilities require the Company to pay monthly a contractual rate per kilowatt hour of electricity consumed in the Company’s cryptocurrency mining operations. We believe that our offices and hosted cryptocurrency mining facilities are currently suitable and adequate; however, we plan to expand our hosted cryptocurrency mining locations as new equipment is purchased and the need for additional space arises.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

We are not aware of any pending legal proceedings in which we are a party or in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, any owner of record or beneficiary of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

The table below sets forth information as to sales by the Company of unregistered securities not previously reported in the Company’s periodic filings for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.

Penny Stock

Our common stock is considered “penny stock” under the rules the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market System, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, that:

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with:

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgement of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Financial Condition and Results of Operations. 

SPECIAL NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our security holders and to the public. This report, therefore, contains statements about future events and expectations which are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Sections 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the statements about our plans, objectives, expectations and prospects under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” You can expect to identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “could,” “would,” “will,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “expect,” “intend,” “seek” and other similar expressions. Any statement contained in this report that is not a statement of historical fact may be deemed to be a forward-looking statement. Although we believe that the plans, objectives, expectations and prospects reflected in or suggested by our forward-looking statements are reasonable, those statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, and we can give no assurance that our plans, objectives, expectations and prospects will be achieved.

Important factors that might cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements are contained in the “Risk Factors” section of and elsewhere in this Annual Report and in our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The following discussion of our results of operations should be read together with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.

GENERAL

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 22, 2013 under the name Lightcollar, Inc. On March 22, 2015, we changed our name to EMS Find, Inc., and in July 2017, we changed our name to Integrated Ventures, Inc.  We have discontinued our prior operations and changed our business focus from our prior technologies relating to the EMS Find platform to acquiring, launching, and operating companies in the cryptocurrency sector, mainly in digital currency mining and sales of branded mining rigs.  Our offices are located at 18385 Route 287, Tioga, PA 16946.

On November 22, 2017, we successfully launched our cryptocurrency operations, and revenues commenced from cryptocurrency mining operations and from sales of cryptocurrency mining equipment.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company owned a total of approximately 2,744 miners in three locations, Kearney, Nebraska, Tioga, Pennsylvania, and Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, the miners located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania were shipped to Wolf Hollow, Texas. Under our contract with Bitmain, which expired in July 2022, we received an additional 392 miners subsequent to June 30, 2022. Due to PetaWatt’s financial difficulties, the Company has discontinued its cryptocurrency mining operations in New York. All mining equipment previously operating in New York has been relocated to Tioga, Pennsylvania. Some of these miners and new Bitmain miners delivered to Tioga, PA and Kearney, NE, were connected and placed into service, effective April 2022. The Company estimates the miners now located in Wolf Hollow, Texas will be connected and placed into service in early October 2022. During the year ended June 30, 2022, the Company paid deposits totaling $6,316,119 (net of Wattum reimbursements) for additional miners.

The Company will continue to (1) raise capital to purchase new mining equipment, (2) sell older and no longer profitable models and (3) expand cryptocurrency mining operations to new locations.

Financial

As of June 30, 2022, we operated our cryptocurrency mining operations in two hosted facilities located in Kearney, Nebraska and Tioga, Pennsylvania. The hosting and power purchase agreements for the Nebraska and Pennsylvania facilities require the Company to pay monthly a contractual rate per kilowatt hour of electricity consumed in the Company’s cryptocurrency mining operations.  The agreement for the Pennsylvania facility is with a related party owned 50% by Steve Rubakh, our President and Chief Executive Officer.

Revenues from our cryptocurrency mining operations were $4,871,473 and $1,793,316 for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Revenues from the sales of cryptocurrency mining equipment were $1,678,660 and $58,074 for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. 

When funds are available and market conditions allow, we also invest in certain denominations of cryptocurrencies to complement our mining operations. We consider these investments similar to marketable securities where we purchase and hold the cryptocurrencies for sale. We report realized gains and losses on the sales of cryptocurrencies net of transaction costs. As of June 30, 2022, our digital currencies at cost totaled $72,885 and were comprised of multiple denominations, primarily of Bitcoin (BTC).

Historically, we have funded our operations primarily from cash generated from our digital currency mining operations and proceeds from convertible notes payable and preferred stock. During the year ended June 30, 2022, we generated sufficient cash flow from operations and from the sale of digital currencies and were only required to enter one Loan Agreement and Promissory Note in the amount of $500,000 to supplement the funding of our operations. We did not issue securities for cash. 

The Digital Asset Market

The Company is focusing on the mining of digital assets, as well as blockchain applications (“blockchain”) and related technologies. A blockchain is a shared immutable ledger for recording the history of transactions of digital assets—a business blockchain provides a permissioned network with known identities. A Bitcoin is the most recognized type of a digital asset that is issued by, and transmitted through, an open source, math-based protocol platform using cryptographic security that is known as the “Bitcoin Network.” The Bitcoin Network is an online, peer-to-peer user network that hosts the public transaction ledger, known as the blockchain, and the source code that comprises the basis for the cryptography and math-based protocols governing the Bitcoin Network.

Bitcoins, for example, can be used to pay for goods and services or can be converted to fiat currencies, such as the US Dollar, at rates determined on Bitcoin exchanges or in individual end-user-to-end-user transactions under a barter system. The networks utilized by digital coins are designed to operate without any company or government in charge, governed by a collaboration of volunteer programmers and computers that maintain all the records. These blockchains are typically maintained by a network of participants which run servers while securing their blockchain. Third party service providers such as Bitcoin exchanges and bitcoin third party payment processing services may charge significant fees for processing transactions and for converting, or facilitating the conversion of, bitcoins to or from fiat currency.

This market is rapidly evolving and there can be no assurances that we will remain competitive with industry participants that have or may have greater resources or experience in this industry than us, nor that the unproven digital assets that we mine will ever have any significant market value.

The Company, like many cryptocurrency mining operators, is currently operating at a non-profitable status following record historic runs in market prices of digital currencies. Market prices of digital currencies have not been high enough to cover the operating costs of mining companies, including significant power costs and high levels of equipment depreciation. The Company is addressing these operational challenges through considering alternative sources of power, further consolidation of facilities, and potential hosting arrangements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in these efforts and attain profitable levels of operations.

Financial Operations Review

We are incurring increased costs because of being a publicly traded company. As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. We also have paid compensation through the issuance of shares of our common stock, Series B preferred stock and warrants, the valuation of which has resulted in significant stock-based compensation. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission, have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies and will require us to comply with these rules. These new rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and have made some activities more time-consuming and costlier. In addition, these new rules and regulations have made it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, which we currently cannot afford to do. As a result of the new rules, it may become more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board of Directors or as executive officers. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur as a result of being a public company or the timing of such costs.

To operate our digital currency mining facilities and to fund future operations, we will need to raise additional capital. The amount and timing of future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the timing and results of our ongoing development efforts, the potential expansion of our current development programs, potential new development programs and related general and administrative support. We anticipate that we will seek to fund our operations through further liquidation of our marketable securities, public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, such as potential collaboration agreements. We cannot be certain that anticipated additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2021

Revenues

Our cryptocurrency mining revenues increased to $4,871,473 in the year ended June 30, 2022 from $1,793,316 in the year ended June 30, 2021. This increase in revenues resulted primarily from higher prices of BTC and the Company’s successful efforts to raise capital to purchase more efficient and profitable mining equipment. In addition, we expanded our cryptocurrency mining operations to two locations: Tioga, Pennsylvania and Kearney, Nebraska. However, our cryptocurrency mining revenues were negatively impacted in the current year due to the weakening of cryptocurrency markets during the second half of our fiscal year and to the financial difficulties of PetaWatt Holdings, which resulted in the termination of our Carthage, New York mining operations.

We also have revenues from the sale of cryptocurrency mining equipment that have been either newly purchased or refurbished for resale. Such sales totaled $1,678,660 and $58,074 in the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in sales of equipment in the current year was due primarily to three sales of miners. Sales of equipment will fluctuate from period to period depending on equipment available to us to sell and the current retail demand for our model of cryptocurrency mining units.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues was $3,868,471 and $920,376 in the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in cost of revenues in the current fiscal year is due primarily to: increased cryptocurrency mining revenues, expansion to two operating locations and increased depreciation and amortization expense. Expenses associated with running our cryptocurrency mining operations, such as equipment depreciation and amortization, operating supplies, utilities, and consulting services are recorded as cost of revenues. Also included in cost of revenues are the costs of purchasing or assembling the cryptocurrency mining units sold. We reported a gross profit on revenues of $2,681,662 and $931,014 in the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Higher cryptocurrency mining revenues in the current year resulting from higher BTC market pricing, the implementation of more efficient mining equipment and the increase in the number of miners purchased also contributed to the gross profit on revenues.

Operating Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses decreased to $776,585 in the year ended June 30, 2022 from $6,061,741 in the year ended June 30, 2021. The decrease resulted primarily from decreased non-cash stock-based compensation expense. We reported non-cash, related party stock-based compensation of $16,537,500 in the year ended June 30, 2021 compared to $2,438,900 in the year ended June 30, 2022. For the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company issued to Steve Rubakh, our President, 350,000 total shares of Series B convertible preferred stock valued on an “as converted to common” basis at $16,537,500, using the closing market price of the Company’s common stock. For the year ended June 30, 2022, the Company issued to Mr. Rubakh 200,000 total shares of Series B convertible preferred stock valued on an “as converted to common” basis at $2,438,900, using the closing market price of the Company’s common stock. Each share of Series B preferred stock is convertible into 100 shares of the Company’s common stock. 

Other Income (Expense)

Our other income (expense) was comprised of the following for the years ended June 30:

Our interest expense includes the amortization of debt discount and original issue discount for our convertible notes payable.  These amounts vary from period to period depending on the timing of new borrowings and the conversion of the debt to common stock by the lenders.  During the prior fiscal year, our lenders completed the full conversion of our convertible notes payable, resulting in a decrease in interest expense compared to the prior fiscal year.

In addition to the currencies received as compensation for our mining services, we purchased various digital currencies totaling $2,098,676 and $7,374,678 during the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We also converted currencies from one denomination to another based on our assessment of market conditions for each respective currency.  The market values of individual currency denominations continually fluctuate, and the fluctuations may be material from day to day.  During the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we received total proceeds of $7,462,655 and $9,211,118, respectively, from the sale of digital currencies and incurred transactions fees totaling $138,919 and $233,580, respectively, which are deducted from the gain or loss realized.  We realized a gain on sale of digital currencies, after deducting transaction costs, of $181,853 in the year ended June 30, 2022 and a loss on sale of digital currencies, after deducting transaction costs, of $22,948 in the year ended June 30, 2021.

During the year ended June 30, 2021, we recognized a loss on change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $76,687.  During the year ended June 30, 2021, all convertible notes payable and other equity instruments with provisions identified as derivatives were extinguished through conversion to common shares and all related derivative liabilities were settled.  We estimate the fair value of the derivatives associated with our convertible debt, options, warrants and other contracts using, as applicable, either the Black-Scholes pricing model or multinomial lattice models that value the derivative liability based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model using future projections of the various potential outcomes.  We estimate the fair value of the derivative liabilities at the inception of the financial instruments, and, in the case of our convertible notes payable, at the date of conversions to equity and at each reporting date, recording a derivative liability, debt discount, additional paid-in capital and a gain or loss on change in derivative liabilities as applicable. These estimates are based on multiple inputs, including the market price of our stock, interest rates, our stock price volatility, variable conversion prices based on market prices as defined in the respective agreements and probabilities of certain outcomes based on management projections. Since these inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period and to management’s judgment, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material. 

During the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we disposed of and wrote off non-serviceable, defective mining equipment with a net book value of $154,180 and $238,363, respectively.  The equipment disposed of was replaced with new, more efficient mining equipment. 

We reported a gain on extinguishment of debt of $5,924 and $9,125 in the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 due to favorable settlement of certain liabilities. 

During the year ended June 30, 2022, we sold used mining equipment and realized a loss on the sale of $46,999. We did not report any gain or loss on the sale of property and equipment during the year ended June 30, 2021.

Net Loss

As a result, primarily from the non-cash related party stock-based compensation, we reported a net loss of $565,514 in the year ended June 30, 2022, compared to a net loss of $22,433,081 in the year ended June 30, 2021.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

As of June 30, 2022, we had total current assets of $492,780, including cash of $490,280 and prepaid expenses and other current assets of $2,500 and total current liabilities of $1,563,756. We had total stockholders’ equity of $10,592,307 as of June 30, 2022 compared to a stockholders’ equity of $8,964,882 as of June 30, 2021.

During the year ended June 30, 2022, we received net proceeds from a Promissory Note of $500,000. We also funded operations with a $118,150 short term advance from our Chief Executive Officer.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Operations provided $55,455 of cash in the year ended June 30, 2022 as a result of our net loss of $565,514, non-cash gain on sale of digital currencies of $181,853, non-cash gain on forgiveness of debt of $5,924, increases in digital currencies of $5,009,691, and deposits of $78,147 more than offset by non-cash expenses totaling $4,311,690, decreases in equipment deposits of $1,135,088 and prepaid expenses and other current assets of $195,120 and increases in accounts payable of $28,702, accrued expenses of $4,731, and amounts due to related party of $221,253.

We used net cash in operations of $1,567,715 in the year ended June 30, 2021 as a result of our net loss of $22,433,081, non-cash gain of $9,125, increases in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $194,370, digital currencies of $1,792,451 and decreases in accounts payable of $281,639 and due to related party of $93,550, partially offset by non-cash expenses totaling $23,217,836 and increase accrued expenses of $18,665.

During the year ended June 30, 2022, we used net cash in investing activities of $2,267,633, comprised of the increase in equipment deposits of $7,763,487, purchase of digital currencies of $2,098,676, and the purchase of property and equipment of $73,575, partially offset by net proceeds from the sale of digital currencies of $7,462,655, proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $70,000, and proceeds from the sale of fully depreciated property and equipment to a related party of $135,450.

During the year ended June 30, 2021, we used net cash in investing activities of $9,118,171, comprised of the increase in equipment deposits of $7,663,265, purchase of digital currencies of $7,374,678, and the purchase of property and equipment of $3,291,346, partially offset by net proceeds from the sale of digital currencies of $9,211,118.

During the year ended June 30, 2022, we had net cash provided by financing activities of $604,921 comprised of proceeds related party short term advances of $118,150 and proceeds from notes payable of $500,000, partially offset by repayment of notes payable of $13,229.

We will have to raise funds to successfully operate our digital currency mining operations, purchase equipment and expand our operations to multiple facilities. We will have to borrow money from shareholders or issue debt or equity or enter a strategic arrangement with a third party. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us.

Going Concern

The Company has reported recurring net losses since its inception. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $46,192,164.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The ability of the Company to reach a successful level of operations is dependent on the execution of management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through the debt and/or equity markets, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. If the Company were not to continue as a going concern, it would likely not be able to realize its assets at values comparable to the carrying value or the fair value estimates reflected in the balances set out in the preparation of the financial statements.

There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in attaining a profitable level of operations or in generating additional cash from the equity/debt markets or other sources fund its operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary. Should the Company not be successful in its business plan or in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, the Company would need to curtail certain or all operational activities and/or contemplate the sale of its assets, if necessary.

Current and Future Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a material negative impact on capital markets.  While we continue to incur operating losses, we are currently dependent on debt or equity financing to fund our operations and execute our business plan. We believe that the impact on capital markets of COVID-19 may make it more costly and more difficult for us to access these sources of funding. 

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements.  The following is a summary of those accounting policies that involve significant estimates and judgment of management.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Digital Currencies

Digital currencies consist of Bitcoin, Litecoin, ZCash and Ethereum, generally received for the Company’s own account as compensation for cryptocurrency mining services, and other digital currencies such as Chainlink and Quant purchased for short-term investment and trading purposes. Given that there is limited precedent regarding the classification and measurement of cryptocurrencies under current Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company has determined to account for these digital currencies as indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, for the period covered by this report and in future reports unless and until further guidance is issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). 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. 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 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. Realized gains or losses on the sale of digital currencies, net of transaction costs, are included in other income (expense) in the statements of operations.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, consisting primarily of computer and other cryptocurrency mining equipment (transaction verification servers), is stated at the lower of cost or estimated realizable value and is depreciated when placed into service using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. The Company operates in an emerging industry for which limited data is available to make estimates of the useful economic lives of specialized equipment. Management has assessed the basis of depreciation of these assets and believes they should be depreciated over a three-year period due to technological obsolescence reflecting rapid development of hardware that has faster processing capacity and other factors.  Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and improvements are capitalized. Gains or losses on the disposition of property and equipment are recorded upon disposal.

During the year ended June 30, 2022, we sold used mining equipment and realized a loss on the sale of $46,999. During the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company discontinued the use of damaged or non-serviceable mining equipment and wrote off its net book value of $154,180 and $238,363, respectively, to loss on disposition of property and equipment.

Management has determined that the three-year diminishing value best reflects the current expected useful life of transaction verification servers. This assessment takes into consideration the availability of historical data and management’s expectations regarding the direction of the industry including potential changes in technology. Management will review this estimate annually and will revise such estimates as and when data becomes available.

To the extent that any of the assumptions underlying management’s estimate of useful life of its transaction verification servers are subject to revision in a future reporting period, either as a result of changes in circumstances or through the availability of greater quantities of data, then the estimated useful life could change and have a prospective impact on depreciation expense and the carrying amounts of these assets.

Payments to equipment suppliers prior to shipment of the equipment are recorded as equipment deposits.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

All assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 350 and ASC 360. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the expected undiscounted cash flows of the asset, an impairment charge is recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds fair value or net realizable value. The testing of these intangibles under established guidelines for impairment requires significant use of judgment and assumptions. Changes in forecasted operations and other assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair values. Changes in business conditions could potentially require adjustments to these asset valuations.  We reported no impairment expense for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for all equity-based payments in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock awards, stock options, warrants and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. The value of the portion of an award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line attribution method. The fair value of a stock award is recorded at the fair market value of a share of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options and warrants at the grant date by using an appropriate fair value model such as the Black-Scholes option pricing model or multinomial lattice models.

The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards based upon ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. ASC 505-50 requires the costs of goods and services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments to be recognized using the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value of the equity award, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of the equity award is determined on the measurement date, which is the earlier of the date that a performance commitment is reached or the date that performance is complete. Generally, our awards do not entail performance commitments. When an award vests over time such that performance occurs over multiple reporting periods, we estimate the fair value of the award as of the end of each reporting period and recognize an appropriate portion of the cost based on the fair value on that date. When the award vests, we adjust the cost previously recognized so that the cost ultimately recognized is equivalent to the fair value on the date the performance is complete.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  This standard provides a single comprehensive model to be used in the accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The standard’s stated core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, ASC 606 includes provisions within a five-step model that includes identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when, or as, an entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Our revenues currently consist of cryptocurrency mining revenues and revenues from the sale of cryptocurrency mining equipment recognized in accordance with ASC 606 as discussed above. Amounts collected from customers prior to shipment of products are recorded as deferred revenue. 

The Company earns its cryptocurrency mining revenues by providing transaction verification services within the digital currency networks of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, ZCash and Ethereum. The Company satisfies its performance obligation at the point in time that the Company is awarded a unit of digital currency through its participation in the applicable network and network participants benefit from the Company’s verification service. In consideration for these services, the Company receives digital currencies, net of applicable network fees, which are recorded as revenue using the closing U.S. dollar price of the related cryptocurrency on the date of receipt. Expenses associated with running the cryptocurrency mining operations, such as equipment depreciation, rent, operating supplies, rent, utilities and monitoring services are recorded as cost of revenues.

There is currently no specific definitive guidance in GAAP or alternative accounting frameworks for the accounting for the production and mining of digital currencies and management has exercised significant judgment in determining appropriate accounting treatment for the recognition of revenue for mining of digital currencies. Management has examined various factors surrounding the substance of the Company’s operations and the guidance in ASC 606, including identifying the transaction price, when performance obligations are satisfied, and collectability is reasonably assured being the completion and addition of a block to a blockchain and the award of a unit of digital currency to the Company. In the event authoritative guidance is enacted by the FASB, the Company may be required to change its policies which could result in a change in the Company’s financial statements.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Operating Leases

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had no obligation for future lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases.  However, the Company has entered into several agreements described below related to its crypto currency mining operations pursuant to which the Company’s sole obligation is to pay monthly a contractual rate per kilowatt hour of electricity consumed.

PetaWatt Agreements

Power Supply and Purchase Agreement

In May 2019, the Company consolidated its then cryptocurrency operations in one facility in Carthage, New York.  The Carthage power supply and purchase agreement with PetaWatt Properties, LLC (“PetaWatt”) was entered into on May 10, 2019 for an initial term of 90 days, with an option to continue the agreement for a subsequent 36 months, which option the Company has exercised.  The Company’s sole obligation under the agreement is to pay monthly a contractual rate per kilowatt hour of electricity consumed in the Company’s cryptocurrency mining operations.  This agreement was superseded on May 7, 2021 with a new Lease, Hosting, and Energy Services Agreement with PetaWatt.

Lease, Hosting, and Energy Services Agreement

On May 7, 2021, the Company and PetaWatt entered into a Lease, Hosting and Energy Services Agreement for the Carthage, New York facility for a period of 36 months.  The Company’s sole obligation under the agreement is to pay monthly a contractual rate per kilowatt hour of electricity consumed in the Company’s cryptocurrency mining operations.  The Company made a prepayment of $300,000 upon signing the agreement, to be drawn down with monthly invoices submitted to the Company by PetaWatt.  As of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the remaining prepayment balance was $0 and $193,870, respectively, which amounts were included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying balance sheet.  Due to PetaWatt’s financial difficulties, the Company discontinued its cryptocurrency mining operations in New York and the agreement was terminated.  All mining equipment had been shipped to Tioga, Pennsylvania and Kearney, Nebraska as of March 11, 2022 where full mining operations commenced in April 2022.

Compute North Power Purchase and Hosting Agreement

On March 8, 2021, the Company and Compute North LLC (“Compute North”) entered into a Master Agreement for the colocation and management of the Company’s cryptocurrency mining operations.  The Company submits Order Forms to Compute North to determine the location of the hosted facilities, the number of cryptocurrency miners, the term of the services provided and the contractual rate per kilowatt hour of electricity consumed in the Company’s cryptocurrency mining operations.  The agreement also provides the Company the option to purchase cryptocurrency mining equipment from Compute North.  The initial Order form was for 425 miners in Kearney, Nebraska for a term of 3 years and 250 miners in Savoy, Texas for a term of 3 years.  The parties subsequently consolidated the cryptocurrency mining operations in the Kearney, Nebraska facility.  Through June 30, 2021, the Company paid set up fees of $78,147 with its ongoing obligation under the agreement to pay monthly a contractual rate per kilowatt hour of electricity consumed in the Company’s cryptocurrency mining operations.  Our Nebraska operations commenced in September 2021.

Equipment Purchase Agreement

On April 12, 2021, we entered into a Non-fixed Price Sales and Purchase Agreement with Bitmain Technologies Limited (“Bitmain”) (the “Bitmain Agreement”) to purchase from Bitmain cryptocurrency mining hardware and other equipment in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Bitmain Agreement. Bitmain is scheduled to manufacture and ship miners on monthly basis, in 12 equal batches of 400 units, starting in August 2021 and through July 2022. The Purchase Agreement remains in effect until the delivery of the last batch of products. The total purchase price was approximately $34,047,600, subject to price adjustments and related offsets. The total purchase price is payable as follows: (i) 25% of the total purchase price is due upon the execution of the Agreement or no later than April 19, 2021; (ii) 35% of the total purchase price, is due by May 30, 2021; and (iii) the remaining 40% of the total purchase price, is payable monthly starting in June 2021.

On June 3, 2022, the Company and Compute North entered into a second Master Agreement for the colocation and management of the Company’s cryptocurrency mining operations.  The Company executed Order Forms to Compute North to determine the number of cryptocurrency miners, the term of the services provided and the contractual rate per kilowatt hour of electricity consumed in the Company’s cryptocurrency mining operations.  The agreement also provides the Company the option to purchase cryptocurrency mining equipment from Compute North.  No cryptocurrency mining equipment has been purchased under this agreement. The final Order Form was to host 1,675 miners in Wolf Hollow, Texas for a term of 5 years. This agreement required an initial deposit of $500,000, which had not been paid as of June 30, 2022. The Company has an ongoing obligation under the agreement to pay monthly a contractual rate per kilowatt hour of electricity consumed in the Company’s cryptocurrency mining operations.  Full mining operations had not commenced as of June 30, 2022. The Company estimates these miners will be connected and placed into service in early October 2022.

Tioga Property Lease and Power Purchase Agreement

On December 15, 2021, the Company and Tioga Holding, LLC, a related party, entered into a Property Lease and Power Purchase Agreement for the use by the Company of facilities located in Tioga, Pennsylvania.  The Company’s sole obligation under the agreement is to pay monthly a contractual rate per kilowatt hour of electricity consumed in the Company’s cryptocurrency mining operations.  The term of the agreement is 36 months.  Full mining operations commenced in April 2022.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Integrated Ventures, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Integrated Ventures, Inc. (the Company) as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered net losses from operations in current and prior periods and has accumulated deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans regarding those matters are discussed in Note 3.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Revenue Recognition

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, when another party is involved in providing goods or services to the Company’s clients, a determination is made as to who is acting in the capacity as the principal in the sales transaction. In addition, the Company has Mining Revenues associated with the mining of crypto currencies that requires significant judgements with regard to how the revenues are recognized.

Auditing management’s evaluation of agreements with customers involves significant judgment, given the fact that some agreements require management’s evaluation of principal versus agent.  Auditing management’s evaluation of the accounting for mining revenues recognized involved significant judgement and subjectivity due to lack of formal GAAP guidance in the United States. 

To evaluate the appropriateness and accuracy of the assessment by management, we evaluated management’s assessment in relationship to the relevant agreements.
