Integrated Ventures, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
Three Months Ended September 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization
Integrated Ventures, Inc. (the "Company," "we" or "our") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 22, 2011, under the name of Lightcollar, Inc. On March 20, 2015, the Company amended its articles of incorporation and changed its name from Lightcollar, Inc. to EMS Find, Inc. On May 30, 2017, Integrated Ventures, Inc. (“Integrated Ventures”), a Nevada corporation, was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 30, 2017, Integrated Ventures was merged into the Company, with the Company being the surviving corporation and changing its name to Integrated Ventures, Inc.
The Company has discontinued its prior operations and changed its business focus from its prior technologies relating to the EMS Find platform to acquiring, launching, and operating companies in the cryptocurrency sector, mainly in digital currency mining, equipment manufacturing, and sales of branded mining rigs, as well as blockchain software development.
The Company is developing and acquiring a diverse portfolio of digital currency assets and block chain technologies. Cryptocurrencies are a medium of exchange that uses decentralized control (a block chain) as opposed to a central bank to track and validate transactions. The Company is currently mining Bitcoin, whereby the Company earns revenue by solving “blocks” to be added to the block chain. The Company also purchases certain digital currencies for short-term investment purposes.
On April 17, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a 1-for-125 reverse split of the Company’s common shares. The reverse split has been given retroactive effect in the financial statements for all periods presented.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. The results of operations for the interim period ended September 30, 2023 shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. In the opinion of the Company's management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023 filed on September 28, 2023 and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies of the Company are disclosed in Notes to Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023 filed on September 28, 2023. The following summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s interim financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
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.
F-6 |
Table of Contents |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company maintains cash balances in non-interest-bearing accounts that at times may exceed federally insured limits. For the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at September 30, 2023.
Digital Currencies
Digital currencies consist mainly of Bitcoin, generally received for the Company’s own account as compensation for cryptocurrency mining services, and other digital currencies 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 than 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. The Company had realized gain (losses) on sale of digital currencies of $(20,455) and $(24,015) in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Cryptocurrency mining revenues were $1,059,064 and $555,365 in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
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. 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 three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had no loss on disposition of property and equipment.
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company discontinued the use of damaged or non-serviceable mining equipment and wrote off its net book value of $46,715 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.

Derivatives
As of September 30, 2023, and June 30, 2023, the Company had no derivative liabilities.
The Company evaluates its convertible debt, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for. The result of this accounting treatment is that under certain circumstances the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. If the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under this accounting standard are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.
Where the number of warrants or common shares to be issued under these agreements is indeterminate, the Company has concluded that the equity environment is tainted, and all additional warrants and convertible debt are included in the value of the derivatives.
We estimate the fair value of the derivatives 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. These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period and to management’s judgment; therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material.
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 three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Mezzanine
Series C and D preferred stock that contain certain default provisions requiring mandatory cash redemption that are outside the control of the Company are recorded as Mezzanine in the accompanying balance sheets.
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.
F-8 |
Table of Contents |
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. 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 consist of cryptocurrency mining revenues 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. 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.
Income Taxes
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions are all highly certain of being upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. As of September 30, 2023, tax years 2017 through 2022 remain open for IRS audit. The Company has received no notice of audit from the IRS for any of the open tax years.

Table of Contents |
The Company adopted ASC 740-10, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48, (“ASC 740-10”). ASC 740-10 provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. The term “effectively settled” replaces the term “ultimately settled” when used to describe recognition, and the terms “settlement” or “settled” replace the terms “ultimate settlement” or “ultimately settled” when used to describe measurement of a tax position under ASC 740-10. ASC 740-10 clarifies that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion of an examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained based solely based on its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open. The adoption of ASC 740-10 has not had an impact on our financial statements.
Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income or loss per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income or loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as “in-the-money” stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method, convertible debt, and convertible preferred stock, were exercised or converted into common stock. Equivalent shares are not utilized when the effect is anti-dilutive. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share; therefore, basic net loss per share is the same as diluted net loss per share.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
There were no new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB during the three months ended September 30, 2023, and through the date of filing this report which the Company believes will have a material impact on its financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the financial statements for prior year periods have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the current year periods.
3. GOING CONCERN
Historically, the Company has reported recurring net losses from operations and used net cash in operating activities. As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $2,986,954 and the Company had an accumulated deficit of $82,344,841. 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 and maintain 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.
F-10 |
Table of Contents |
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.

On December 15, 2021, the Company and Tioga Holding, LLC, a related party owned 50% by Mr. Rubakh (“Tioga”), 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. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred power expense of $96,527 and $110,957 from Tioga.
6. NOTES PAYABLE
On June 15, 2022, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement and Promissory Note with BHP Capital NY, Inc. (“BHP”) in the amount of $500,000. The note matured on January 15, 2023, and bares a flat interest charge of $130,000 that shall not be reduced or pro-rated in the event of prepayment. In addition, upon an event of default, the Note bares default interest of 18% per annum. This note is secured by assets and equipment of the Company. As further inducement to enter this note, the Company issued BHP 16,000 shares of restricted common stock. These shares were valued at $123,200 using the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance and were recorded as a debt discount that is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the note. The Company recorded $0 and $52,965 of interest expense for amortization of this debt discount and accrued $23,000 and $55,888 of interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, this note was in default due to nonpayment before the maturity date.
7. MEZZANINE
Series C Preferred Stock
Effective January 14, 2021, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock with the Nevada Secretary of State. The Company has authorized the issuance of an aggregate of 3,000 shares of the Series C preferred stock. Each share of Series C preferred stock has a par value of $0.001 per share and a stated value of $1,100 per share. The shares of Series C preferred stock are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $8.50 per share.
Each share of the Series C preferred stock is entitled to receive cumulative dividends of 12% per annum or 18% per annum in the event of default, payable monthly from the date of issuance of the shares.

9. WARRANTS
The Company issued warrants to purchase 88,000 shares of its common stock in February 2021 in connection with the sale of Series D preferred stock.
The Company also issued warrants to purchase 240,000 shares of its common stock in April 2021 in connection with the sale of common stock. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company entered into two letter agreements in connection with this sale described as follows.
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 120 thousand shares to provide effective as of June 29, 2022. The amendment reduced the exercise price thereof to $0.125, subject to adjustment therein, and waived 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 120 thousand shares, effective as of August 30, 2022. The amendment reduced the exercise price thereof to $0.125, subject to adjustment therein, and waived 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 effect of these modifications was measured as the excess of the fair value of the amended Purchaser’s Warrants over the fair value of the Purchaser’s Warrants immediately before the amendments which amounted to $162,037 and was recognized as a dividend due to the substance of the modification not indicating the issuer has incurred a cost that should be expensed.
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we issued 20,507,692 shares of common stock for the cash-less exercise of 20,894,900 warrants.
There were no warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023.

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. This agreement required an initial deposit of $78,147 which is recorded as a Deposit on the Balance Sheets. 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 Company’s ongoing obligation under the agreement to pay monthly a contractual rate per kilowatt hour of electricity consumed in the Company’s cryptocurrency mining operations.
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. This agreement required an initial deposit of $500,000, which is recorded as a Deposit on the Balance Sheets.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023 filed on September 28, 2023 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 73 Buck Road, Suite 2, Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania 19006.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company owned a total of approximately 2,427 miners in one location, Granbury, Texas. All miners previously located in Tioga, Pennsylvania were relocated to Granbury, Texas during the three months ended September 30, 2023.
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.
On April 17, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a 1-for-125 reverse split of the Company’s common shares. The reverse split has been given retroactive effect in the financial statements for all periods presented.
Financial
As of September 30, 2023, we operated our cryptocurrency mining operations in one hosted facility in Wolf Hollow, Texas. The hosting and power purchase agreement for this facility requires the Company to pay monthly a contractual rate per kilowatt hour of electricity consumed in the Company’s cryptocurrency mining operations.
Revenues from our cryptocurrency mining operations were $1,059,064 and $555,365 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, 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 September 30, 2023, our digital currencies at cost totaled $20,455 and were comprised 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 three months ended September 30, 2023, we generated negative cash flow from operations and a loss from the sale of digital currencies. We did not incur additional debt or 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 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 have 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
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022
Revenues
Our cryptocurrency mining revenues increased to $1,059,064 in the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $555,365 in the three months ended September 30, 2022. This increase in revenues resulted primarily due to the strengthening of cryptocurrency markets and increased miners.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues was $1,573,374 and $768,892 in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 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. The increase in cost of revenues in the current fiscal year is due primarily to an increase in depreciation expense and costs incurred from our hosting facilities.

Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses increased to $8,477,382 in the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $393,273 in the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase resulted primarily from increased non-cash stock-based compensation expense. We reported non-cash, related party stock-based compensation of $207,500 in the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $8,300,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2023.

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 three months ended, we had one note payable outstanding for $500,000 which we had recorded $52,965 of interest for debt discount. During the current three months ended we had the same note payable outstanding with a fully amortized debt discount, thus resulting in a decrease in interest expense compared to the prior period.
In addition to the currencies received as compensation for our mining services, we purchased various digital currencies totaling $0 and $50,461 during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, 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 three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we received total proceeds of $780,991 and $626,746, respectively, from the sale of digital currencies and incurred transactions fees totaling $11,637 and $1,831, respectively, which are deducted from the gain or loss realized. We realized a loss on sale of digital currencies, after deducting transaction costs, of $20,455 and $24,015 in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
We did not report any gain or loss on the disposal of property and equipment during the three months ended September 30, 2023. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we disposed of and write off non-serviceable, defective mining equipment with a net book value of $46,715.
Net Loss
As a result, we reported a net loss of $9,035,177 in the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to net loss of $786,382 in the three months ended September 30, 2022.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview

Sources and Uses of Cash
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we used cash in operations of $934,287 as a result of our net loss of $9,035,177, non-cash loss on sale of digital currencies of $20,455, non-cash stock-based compensation-related party $8,300,000, other non-cash expenses of $733,564, increases in digital currencies of $1,057,886, prepaid expenses of $3,765, accounts payable of $44,525, accrued expenses of $23,000, and a decrease in amounts due to related party of $40,997.
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we used cash in operations of $892,963 as a result of our net loss of $786,382, non-cash loss on sale of digital currencies of $24,015, other non-cash expenses of $739,384, increases in digital currencies of $557,198, prepaid expenses of $7,620, deposits of $500,000, accounts payable of $31,153, accrued expenses of $55,888, and amounts due to related party of $107,797.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we provided net cash in investing activities of $780,991, comprised of net proceeds from the sale of digital currencies.
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we provided net cash in investing activities of $543,771, comprised of proceeds from the sale of digital currencies of $626,746, offset by the increase in equipment deposits of $32,514 and the purchase of digital currencies of $50,461.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we used net cash in financing activities of $47,030, comprised of the repayment of the related party shot term advance.
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had no net cash provided by or used in financing activities.
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 September 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $82,344,841. 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.
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.
6 |
Table of Contents |
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 mainly of Bitcoin, generally received for the Company’s own account as compensation for cryptocurrency mining services, and other digital currencies 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 than 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 three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had no 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.
Derivatives
As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, we recorded no derivative liabilities.

Table of Contents |
The Company evaluates its convertible debt, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for. The result of this accounting treatment is that under certain circumstances the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. If the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under this accounting standard are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.
Where the number of warrants or common shares to be issued under these agreements is indeterminate, the Company has concluded that the equity environment is tainted, and all additional warrants and convertible debt are included in the value of the derivatives.
We estimate the fair value of the derivatives 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. These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period and to management’s judgment; therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material.
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 three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
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. 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 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. 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 September 30, 2023, 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.
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. This agreement required an initial deposit of $78,147 which is recorded as a Deposit on the Balance Sheets. 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 Company’s ongoing obligation under the agreement to pay monthly a contractual rate per kilowatt hour of electricity consumed in the Company’s cryptocurrency mining operations.
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. This agreement required an initial deposit of $500,000 which is recorded as a Deposit on the Balance Sheets. The Company’s ongoing obligation under the agreement to pay monthly a contractual rate per kilowatt hour of electricity consumed in the Company’s cryptocurrency mining operations.
In January 2023, Compute North sold these Master Agreements to GC Data Center Granbury, LLC and the parties consolidated all cryptocurrency mining operations in the Wolf Hollow, Texas facility.

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. The 36 months lease and mining operations were terminated in September 2023 due to significant increase in power cost by local utility. All mining equipment has been relocated to Granbury, Texas.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There were no new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and through the date of filing this report which the Company believes will have a material impact on its financial statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company, as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our financial statements included in this quarterly report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2023. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have identified the following material weaknesses:
1. | As of September 30, 2023, we did not maintain effective controls over the control environment. Specifically, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness. | |
2. | As of September 30, 2023, due to the inherent issue of segregation of duties in a small company, we have relied heavily on entity or management review controls and engaged an outside financial consultant to lessen the issue of segregation of duties over accounting, financial close procedures and controls over financial statement disclosure. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness. | |
|
|
|
| 3. | As of September 30, 2023, we did not establish a written policy for the approval, identification and authorization of related party transactions. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness. |
Because of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2023, based on the criteria established in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the COSO.
