NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Organization

Investview, Inc. was incorporated on January 30, 1946, under the laws of the state of Utah as the Uintah Mountain Copper Mining Company. In January 2005, we changed domicile to Nevada and changed our name to Voxpath Holding, Inc. In September of 2006, we merged with The Retirement Solution Inc. and then changed our name to TheRetirementSolution.Com, Inc. Subsequently, in October 2008 we changed our name to Global Investor Services, Inc., before changing our name to Investview, Inc., on March 27, 2012.

Effective April 1, 2017, we closed on a Contribution Agreement with the members of Wealth Generators, LLC, a limited liability company (“Wealth Generators”), pursuant to which the Wealth Generators members contributed 100% of the outstanding securities of Wealth Generators in exchange for an aggregate of 1,358,670,942 shares of our common stock. Following this transaction, Wealth Generators became our wholly owned subsidiary, and the former members of Wealth Generators became our stockholders and controlled the majority of our outstanding common stock.

On June 6, 2017, we entered into an Acquisition Agreement with Market Trend Strategies, LLC, a company whose members are also former members of our management. Under the Acquisition Agreement, we spun-off our operations that existed prior to the merger with Wealth Generators and sold the intangible assets used in those pre-merger operations in exchange for Market Trend Strategies’ assumption of $419,139 in pre-merger liabilities.

On February 28, 2018, we filed a name change for Wealth Generators, LLC to Kuvera, LLC (“Kuvera”).

On January 17, 2019, we renamed our non-operating wholly owned subsidiary WealthGen Global, LLC to SAFETek, LLC, a Utah limited liability company.

On January 11, 2021, we filed a name change for Kuvera, LLC to iGenius, LLC (“iGenius”) and on February 2, 2021, we filed a name change for Kuvera (N.I.) Limited to iGenius Global LTD.

On September 20, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a change in our fiscal year from March 31 to December 31.

Nature of Business

We operate a financial technology (FinTech) services company in several different businesses. We deliver multiple products and services through a direct selling network, also known as multi-level marketing, of independent distributors that offer our products and services through a subscription-based revenue model to our distributors, as well as by our distributors to a large base of customers that we refer to as “members”. Through this business, we provide research, education, and investment tools designed to assist the self-directed investor in successfully navigating the financial markets. These services include research and education regarding equities, options, FOREX, ETFs, binary options, and cryptocurrency. In addition to trading research and education, we also offer software applications to assist the individual in debt reduction, increased savings, budgeting, and proper tax management. Each product subscription includes a core set of trading tools and research along with the personal finance management suite to provide an individual with complete access to the information necessary to cultivate and manage his or her financial situation. In addition to our education subscriptions, through a distribution arrangement we have with a third party, we provide our members with an opportunity to purchase through such third party, a specialty form of adaptive digital currency called “ndau”. Through our direct selling model, we compensate our distributors with commissions under a standard bonus plan that allows for discretionary bonuses based on performance.

We also operate a blockchain technology business that provides leading-edge research, development, and FinTech services involving the management of digital asset technologies with a focus on Bitcoin mining and the new generation of digital assets. We currently own and manage nearly 5,000 next-generation Bitcoin application-specific integrated circuit (“ASIC”) miner machines, with 100% of such machines being powered by renewable energy sources, mainly hydropower plants and geothermal. We are also developing new and more efficient ways to mine cryptocurrencies through innovations in hardware, firmware, and additional ways to develop and utilize renewable energy sources, to increase the hash rate, uptime, profitability, and overall ROI of our crypto currency mining operations.

AS OF JUNE 30, 2023

(Unaudited)

Since 2021, we have attempted to develop a brokerage and financial markets business. This was originally designed to, among other things, commercialize on the proprietary trading platform we acquired in September 2021 from MPower Trading Systems, LLC (“MPower”), to provide self-directed (DIY) investors with low pricing, a powerful trading platform, research, analytical tools, real-time data & news, insights and support for investing and trading in stocks, options, ETFs and mutual funds. Towards that end, in March 2021, we agreed to acquire a brokerage firm owned by an affiliate of our former chief executive officer. However, having been unable to secure the requisite FINRA approval by the expiration of that agreement, we terminated the transaction on June 14, 2022, and have since then continued our search for alternative acquisitions within the brokerage industry. Further, until we are able to start this business, we recently elected to wind down the registration of a dormant investment advisor and commodity trading advisor we own as we concluded there to be no material benefit to retaining an interest in these regulated businesses until we are able to launch our broader-based financial services model.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

Our policy is to prepare our financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations (Regulation S-X) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the filing of our December 31, 2023 Form 10-K. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2022 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Investview, Inc., and our wholly owned subsidiaries: iGenius, LLC (formerly Kuvera, LLC), Apex Tek, LLC (formerly Razor Data, LLC), SAFETek, LLC (formerly WealthGen Global, LLC), United Games, LLC, United League, LLC, iGenius Global LTD (formerly Kuvera (N.I.) LTD), Investview Financial Group Holdings, LLC, Investview MTS, LLC, and MyLife Wellness Company. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Financial Statement Reclassification

Certain account balances from prior periods have been reclassified in these consolidated financial statements to conform to current period classifications.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Exchange

We have consolidated the accounts of Kuvera France S.A.S. into our consolidated financial statements. The operations of Kuvera France S.A.S. were conducted in France through its closure date in June of 2021 and its functional currency is the Euro. Subsequent to June 2021 we maintained a Euro bank account in France that had minimal transactions. The Euro bank account was closed in April 2022.

Prior to June 2021, the financial statements of Kuvera France S.A.S. were prepared using their functional currency and were translated into U.S. dollars (“USD”). Assets and liabilities were translated into USD at the applicable exchange rates at period-end. Stockholders’ equity was translated using historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses were translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Any translation adjustments were included as foreign currency translation adjustments in accumulated other comprehensive income in our stockholders’ equity (deficit).

Subsequent to June 2021 and prior to the closure of the Euro bank account in April 2022, we translated all transactions in our Euro bank account into USD and translated the ending bank balance into USD at the applicable exchange rate at period-end.

The following rates were used to translate the accounts of Kuvera France S.A.S. into USD for the following operating periods.

 SCHEDULE OF EXCHANGE RATES

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose us to concentration of credit risk include cash, accounts receivable, and advances. We place our cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, cash balances that exceeded FDIC limits were $19,233,993 and $18,202,860, respectively. We have not experienced significant losses relating to these concentrations in the past.

Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

For purposes of reporting cash flows, we consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had no highly liquid debt instruments.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the balance sheet that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the statement of cash flows.

 SCHEDULE OF RECONCILIATION OF CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH

Amount included in restricted cash represent funds required to be held in an escrow account by a contractual agreement and will be used for paying dividends to our Series B Preferred Stockholders.

Receivables

Receivables are carried at net realizable value, representing the outstanding balance less an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a review of all outstanding amounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual receivables and receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received. We had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $722,324 and $719,342 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. A portion of our receivables balance is for amounts held in reserve by our merchant processors for future returns and chargebacks. The amount held in reserve was $518,732 and $775,000 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. When retired or otherwise disposed, the carrying value and accumulated depreciation of the fixed asset is removed from its respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition is reflected in earnings. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs which do not extend the useful lives of the related assets are expensed as incurred.

Fixed assets were made up of the following at each balance sheet date:

 SCHEDULE OF FIXED ASSETS

Total depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, was $2,076,605 and $2,442,711, respectively, all of which was recorded in our general and administrative expenses on our statement of operation. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we sold assets with a total net book value of $26,729 for cash of $23,278 and bitcoin worth $9,913, therefore recognized a gain on disposal of assets of $6,462. This gain was offset by loss on disposal of assets with a net book value of $15,847. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we sold assets with a total net book value of $374,999 for cash of $646,508, therefore recognized a gain on disposal of assets of $271,509.

Long-Lived Assets – Intangible Assets & License Agreement

We account for our cryptocurrencies and intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 350-30, General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill, and ASC Subtopic 360-10-05, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. ASC Subtopic 350-30, which requires assets to be measured based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more reliably measurable. Our cryptocurrencies are deemed to have an indefinite useful life; therefore, amounts are not amortized, but rather are assessed for impairment as further discussed in our impairment policy. Under ASC Subtopic 350-30 any intangible asset with a useful life is required to be amortized over that life and the useful life is to be evaluated every reporting period to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of useful life is changed the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over the revised remaining useful life. Costs of internally developing, maintaining, or restoring intangible assets are recognized as an expense when incurred.

We hold cryptocurrency-denominated assets and include them in our consolidated balance sheet as other assets. The value of our cryptocurrencies as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, were $2,056,858 ($1,929,788 current and $127,070 restricted long term) and $2,474,096 ($2,360,957 current and $113,139 restricted long term), respectively. Cryptocurrencies purchased or received for payment from customers are recorded in accordance with ASC 350-30 and cryptocurrencies awarded to the Company through its mining activities ($4,893,097 and $6,635,117 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively) are accounted for in connection with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. The use of cryptocurrencies is accounted for in accordance with the first in first out method of accounting. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recorded realized gains (losses) on our cryptocurrency transactions of $228,845 and $(1,020,597), respectively.

On March 22, 2021, we entered into Securities Purchase Agreement to acquire the operating assets and intellectual property rights of MPower Trading Systems LLC, a company controlled and partially owned by David B. Rothrock and James R. Bell, two of our board members. As a result, we obtained Prodigio, a proprietary software-based trading platform with applications within the brokerage industry, which was valued at $7,240,000 and recorded on our balance sheet as an intangible asset as of December 31, 2021. The intangible asset was expected to have a definite life, however, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the software had not been placed in service, therefore a useful life had not been assigned and no amortization had been recorded. Instead, as of December 31, 2022, the intangible asset was impaired due to a question on the recoverability of the value recorded.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We have adopted ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or when the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period.

We evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted and an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, no impairment was recorded. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we impaired our fixed assets with a cost basis of $14,875 due to the lack of use. We had recorded accumulated depreciation and accumulated amortization of $8,492 for the impaired assets through the date of impairment, therefore we recorded impairment expense of $6,383 during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, based on our principal or, in the absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.

U.S. generally accepted accounting principles provide for a three-level hierarchy of inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, defined as follows:

Our financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable, and debt. We have determined that the book value of our outstanding financial instruments as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, approximates the fair value due to their short-term nature or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates.

Items recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying consolidated financial statements consisted of the following items as of June 30, 2023:

Revenue Recognition

Subscription Revenue

Most of our revenue is generated by subscription sales and payment is received at the time of purchase. We recognize subscription revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to provide services over a fixed subscription period; therefore, we recognize revenue ratably over the subscription period and deferred revenue is recorded for the portion of the subscription period subsequent to each reporting date. Additionally, we offer a designated trial period to first time subscription customers, during which a full refund can be requested if a customer does not wish to continue with the subscription. Revenues are deferred during the trial period as collection is not probable until that time has passed. Revenues are presented net of refunds, sales incentives, credits, and known and estimated credit card chargebacks. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our deferred revenues were $2,768,536 and $2,074,574, respectively.

Mining Revenue

Through our wholly owned subsidiary, SAFETek, LLC, we leased equipment under a sales-type lease through June of 2020. In June of 2020 we cancelled all leases and purchased all of the rights and obligations under the leases, which included obtaining ownership of all equipment. We use the equipment on blockchain networks to validate and add blocks of transactions to blockchain ledgers (commonly referred to as “mining”). As compensation for mining, we are issued fees from processors and/or block rewards that are newly created cryptocurrency units granted to us. Our mining activities constitute our ongoing major and central operations of SAFETek, LLC. Because we do not have contracts, nor do we have customers associated with our mining revenue, we recognize revenue when fees and/or rewards are settled, or ultimately granted to us as a result of our mining activities.

Cryptocurrency Revenue

We generate revenue from the sale of cryptocurrency packages to our customers through an arrangement with a third-party supplier. The various packages included different amounts of coin with differing rates of returns and terms. The coin is delivered by a third-party supplier.

We recognize cryptocurrency revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to arrange for the third-party to provide coin to our customers and payment is received from our customers at the time of order placement. All customers are given two weeks to request a refund, therefore we record a customer advance on our balance sheet upon receipt of payment. After the two weeks have passed from order placement, we request our third-party supplier to deliver the coin, at which time we recognize revenue and the amounts due to our supplier on our books. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our customer advances related to cryptocurrency revenue were $68,043 and $96,609, respectively.

Mining Equipment Repair Revenue

Through our wholly owned subsidiary, SAFETek, LLC, we repair broken mining equipment for sale to third-party customers. Our mining equipment repair business was discontinued during the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

We recognize miner repair revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to deliver the promised goods to our customers.

The digital wallets are delivered by a third-party supplier. The sale of digital wallets to our customers was discontinued during the year ended December 31, 2022.

We recognize digital wallet revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022 foreign and domestic revenues were approximately $9.9 million and $4.9 million, respectively.

Advertising, Selling, and Marketing Costs

We expense advertising, selling, and marketing costs as incurred. Advertising, selling, and marketing costs include costs of promoting our product worldwide, including promotional events. Advertising, selling, and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, totaled $529,054 and $35,265, respectively.

Cost of Sales and Service

Included in our costs of sales and services are amounts paid to our trading and market experts that provide financial education content and tools to our subscription customers, hosting and energy fees that we pay to vendors at third-party sites in order to generate mining revenue, and the costs associated with our miner repair revenue. Costs of sales and services for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, totaled $4,466,878 and $3,728,481, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory consists of finished goods to be sold as part of our miner repair revenue and materials that were purchased for refurbishment but will be sold as purchased due to the Company winding down the refurbishment and sale of repaired miners. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method and is inclusive of any shipping and tax costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized a loss on disposal on assets of $174,836. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the net realizable value of our inventory was $0 and $249,480, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities, including operating losses and credit carryforwards, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

Management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the consideration of all available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes in assumptions in future periods may require we adjust our valuation allowance, which could materially impact our financial position and results of operations. The Company recognizes the benefit of an uncertain tax position that it has taken or expects to take on its income tax return, if such a position is more likely than not to be sustained.

Net Income (Loss) per Share

We follow ASC subtopic 260-10, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260-10”), which specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic income (loss) per share has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted during the period. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share are excluded from the calculation.

The following table illustrates the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Due to the net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022 there were 1,036,428,571 potentially dilutive securities that were excluded from the diluted income per common share computation, as the effect of including these shares would be antidilutive.

 SCHEDULE OF DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table illustrates the computation of diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, where no potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation:

Lease Obligation

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in the operating lease right-of-use asset account, the operating lease liability, current account, and the operating lease liability, long term account in our balance sheet. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.

Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. For leases in which the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We have elected to not apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to short-term leases (leases with terms of twelve months or less). Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating lease arrangements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have elected the practical expedient and will not separate non-lease components from lease components and will instead account for each separate lease component and non-lease component associated with the lease components as a single lease component.

Other Related Party Arrangements

On January 6, 2022, we entered into a Separation and Release Agreement (the “Separation Agreements”) with Mario Romano and Annette Raynor, two of the Company’s founders and former members of management and the Board of Directors, and Wealth Engineering, LLC, an affiliate of Mr. Romano and Ms. Raynor. Under the Separation Agreements, Mr. Romano and Ms. Raynor resigned their positions as officers and directors of the Company effective immediately upon execution of the Separation Agreements as they each transitioned to the roles of consultants to the Company. Mr. Romano and Ms. Raynor provided consulting services to the Company in their roles from January 6, 2022, through the elimination of these positions on or about July 14, 2023. In conjunction with the Separation Agreements, Mr. Romano and Ms. Raynor forfeited 150,000,000 shares, in total, which were returned to the Company and cancelled. The Company also repurchased a total of 43,101,939 shares from Mr. Romano and Ms. Raynor in exchange for cash of $1,724,008, which was paid to federal and state taxing authorities on behalf of Wealth Engineering, LLC as payment for the estimated federal and state taxes that Wealth Engineering, LLC may be subject to in connection with the vesting of 63,333,333 Company restricted shares that vested on July 22, 2021 (see NOTE 9).

The loans referenced in footnotes 1-3 above, were advanced under a Securities Purchase Agreement we entered into on April 27, 2020, with DBR Capital. Under the Securities Purchase Agreement (which was subsequently amended and restated), DBR Capital agreed to advance up to $11 million to us in a series of up to five closings through December 31, 2022, of which the amounts advanced covered in footnotes 1-3 above constituted the first three closings.

On August 12, 2022, we and DBR Capital, entered into a Fourth Amendment to the now Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement that extends the deadlines for the fourth and fifth closings under that Agreement from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024. The fourth and fifth closings remain at the sole discretion of DBR Capital and we cannot provide any assurance that they will occur when contemplated or ever.

The three-year lease term of the Eatontown Lease was extended on a month-to-month basis commencing August 1, 2022 and was terminated in February 2023. Under the lease, we were obligated to pay twelve monthly installments to cover an annual utility charge of $1.75 per rentable square foot for electric usage within the demised premises. As the lessor has the right to digitally meter and charge us accordingly, these payments were deemed variable and were expensed as incurred.

Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 and our board of directors has the authority to issue one or more classes of preferred stock with rights senior to those of common stock and to determine the rights, privileges, and preferences of that preferred stock.

Our Board of Directors approved the designation of 2,000,000 of the Company’s shares of preferred stock as Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”), each with a stated value of $25 per share. Our Series B Preferred Stockholders are entitled to 500 votes per share and are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the annual rate of 13% per annum of the stated value, equal to $3.25 per annum per share. The Series B Preferred Stock is redeemable at our option or upon certain change of control events.

During the year ended March 31, 2021, we commenced a public securities offering to sell a total of up to 2,000,000 units at $25 per unit (“Unit Offering”), with each unit consisting of: (i) one share of our newly authorized Series B Preferred Stock and (ii) five warrants each exercisable to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per warrant share. Each Warrant offered is immediately exercisable on the date of issuance, will expire 5 years from the date of issuance, and its value has been classified as a fair value liability due to the terms of the instrument (see NOTE 7). The Unit Offering was completed on or about August 17, 2021, having resulted in the public offer and sale of 252,192 Units.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had 252,192 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Preferred Stock Dividends

Common Stock Transactions

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we issued 230 shares of common stock as a result of warrants exercised, resulting in proceeds of $23 and an increase in additional paid in capital of $3 for the derivative liability extinguished with the exercise (see NOTE 7). We also recognized $7,252 in stock-based compensation based on grant date fair values and vesting terms of awards granted in prior periods.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we cancelled 219,833,334 shares of our common stock that had been issued but were forfeited voluntarily by the holders thereof, consisting of: 150,000,000 shares collectively surrendered by Mario Romano and Annette Raynor under the Separation Agreements (see NOTE 5); and 69,833,334 outstanding unvested restricted shares that were surrendered by senior management prior to vesting in consideration of the issuance of replacement options (discussed below). As a result, we decreased common stock by $219,834 and increased additional paid in capital by the same. Further, 33,333,333 shares of common stock formerly held by Joseph Cammarata were forfeited as of December 31, 2021 in connection with his termination by the Company (relating primarily to his then ongoing legal proceedings). All forfeited shares were deemed cancelled as of March 31, 2022. Also, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 43,101,939 shares from members of our then management team and Board of Directors in exchange for cash of $1,724,008 to pay for tax withholdings (see NOTE 5). We also recognized $383,906 in stock-based compensation based on grant date fair values and vesting terms of awards granted in prior periods.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had 2,636,275,719 and 2,636,275,489 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

Options

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we restructured unvested incentive equity awards previously granted to our senior leadership team. The Company’s senior management team and board of directors unanimously agreed to surrender and terminate an aggregate of 68,533,334 outstanding unvested restricted shares of our common stock and 218,500,000 shares of our common stock that we agreed to issue, subject to conditions of issuance, in exchange for the issuance of options to purchase 360,416,665 shares of our common stock, vesting in equal amounts over a five-year period, at an exercise price of $0.05 per share, with a seven-year life. The third-party valuation firm we engaged to value these options utilized the Black Scholes Model to value these options and the expense related to these options is being recognized over their vesting terms. Total stock compensation expense related to the options for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, was $1,389,976 and $113,281, respectively.

(Unaudited)

Class B Units of Investview Financial Group Holdings, LLC

As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, there were 565,000,000 Units of Class B Investview Financial Group Holdings, LLC issued and outstanding. These units were issued as consideration for the purchase of operating assets and intellectual property rights of MPower, a company controlled and partially owned by David B. Rothrock and James R. Bell, two of our board members. The Class B Redeemable Units have no voting rights but can be exchanged at any time, within 5 years from the date of issuance, for 565,000,000 shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis and are subject to significant restrictions upon resale through 2025 under the terms of a lock up agreement entered into as part of the purchase agreement. In order to properly account for the purchase transaction on the Company’s financial statements, we were required by applicable financial reporting standards to value the Class B Units issued to MPower in the transaction as of the closing date of the MPower sale transaction (September 3, 2021). For these accounting purposes, we concluded that the “fair value” of the consideration for financial accounting purposes, at the if-converted market value of the underlying common shares was $58.9 million, based on the closing market price of $0.1532 on the closing date of September 3, 2021, as discounted from $86.6 million by 32% (or $27.7 million) to reflect the significant lock up period. The “fair value” valuation of the Class B Units, however, was completed relying on a certain set of methodologies that are accepted for accounting purposes, and is not necessarily indicative of the “fair market value” that may be implied relative to such Units in a commercial transaction not governed by financial reporting standards. In particular, the methodology used to value the Class B Units at their “fair value” did not take into account any blockage discounts that may otherwise apply after the expiration of the lock-up period in 2025; while other valuation methodologies, not bound by financial reporting codifications, would possibly determine that the blockage discount associated with the resale of 565 million shares after the expiration of the lock-up period, into a marketplace that has limited market liquidity, could possibly have a material downward influence on the valuation.

NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary course of business, we may be, or have been, involved in legal proceedings. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we were not involved in any material legal proceedings, however, during November 2021 we received a subpoena from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the production of documents. We have reason to believe that the focus of the SEC’s inquiry involves whether certain federal securities laws were violated in connection with, among other things, the offer and sale of our now discontinued Apex sale and leaseback program, the operation of our direct selling network now known as iGenius, and the offer and sale of cryptocurrency products. In the subpoena, the SEC advised that the investigation does not mean that the SEC has concluded that we or anyone else has violated federal securities laws and or any other law. We believe that we have complied at all times with the federal securities laws. However, we are aware of the evolving SEC commentary and rulemaking process relative to the characterization of cryptocurrency products under federal securities laws that is sweeping through a large number of businesses that operate within the cryptocurrency sector. We intend to cooperate fully with the SEC’s investigation and will continue to work with outside counsel to review the matter.

We generate revenue from the sale of cryptocurrency packages to our customers through an arrangement with a third-party supplier, certain of which, until January 2022, included a product protection option provided by a third-party provider. According to marketing and legal documents provided by such third-party provider, the product protection would allow the purchaser to protect its initial purchase price by obtaining 50% of its purchase price at five years or 100% of its purchase price at ten years. In January 2022, we suspended any further offering of the product protection option in the cryptocurrency packages after the third-party provider was unable to comply with our standard vendor compliance protocols, citing certain offshore confidentiality entitlements. That suspension will remain in place until we are able to further validate the continued integrity of the product protection and the vendor’s ability to honor its commitments to our members. We cannot ensure that such third-party provider will comply with its contractual requirements, which could cause our members to not achieve the level of return on their investments expected, and possibly expose us to claims that could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Joseph Cammarata served as an officer and director of the Company from December 2019 through his termination for cause on or about December 7, 2021. Mr. Cammarata was terminated following the announcement of civil and criminal charges filed against him in connection with his involvement with a class action claims aggregator unrelated to the Company. The Company was unaware of these outside business interests. Based on public reporting of the matter, the Company believes that Mr. Cammarata was convicted of certain of these criminal charges and is presently incarcerated.

Prior to his termination, Mr. Cammarata and the Company engaged in certain transactions as described below:

We issued a promissory note to Mr. Cammarata, which, following certain modifications, on or about March 30, 2021, was restated in the principal amount of $1,550,000 (the “Cammarata Note”). Although not originally convertible, as per the March 30, 2021, amendment, the Cammarata Note became convertible at $0.02 per share, Thereafter, effective September 21, 2021, and following another modification, the conversion price under the Cammarata Note was reduced to $0.008 per share. During February 2022, we provided 30 days’ notice of our intent to retire and repay the Cammarata Note in cash. Having not timely received a properly executed conversion notice within the proscribed period and citing certain breaches of Mr. Cammarata’s fiduciary duty to us, as well as damages incurred by us arising from Mr. Cammarata’s then ongoing legal proceedings, on or about March 31, 2022, we tendered to Mr. Cammarata cash payment in full for the Cammarata Note. As of the date of this Report, Mr. Cammarata has not accepted our tender of the cash payment, and through his then counsel, has asserted his entitlement to exercise his right to convert the Cammarata Note into our common shares. Although we believe that our cash tender was appropriate under the terms of the Cammarata Note and our claims for damages by Mr. Cammarata have merit, if Mr. Cammarata elects to challenge our cash tender in a court proceeding, and if we are unable to sustain our legal position on the matter, Mr. Cammarata could receive up to approximately 203 million shares of our common stock upon conversion of the Cammarata Note. As a result of his recent incarceration, the Company has been unable to further adjudicate these issues with Mr. Cammarata.

On March 22, 2021, we entered into Securities Purchase Agreements to purchase 100% of the operating assets of SSA Technologies LLC, an entity that owns and operates a FINRA-registered broker-dealer. SSA is controlled and partially owned by Joseph Cammarata, our former Chief Executive Officer. Commencing upon execution of the agreements and through the closing of the transactions, we agreed to provide certain transition service arrangements to SSA. In connection with the transactions, we entered into a Working Capital Promissory Note with SSA under which SSA was to have advanced to us up to $1,500,000 before the end of 2021; however, SSA has only provided advances of $1,200,000 to date. The note bears interest at the rate of 0.11% per annum therefore we recognized $660 worth of interest expense on the loan during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The note was due and payable by January 31, 2022; however, has not yet been repaid as we consider our legal options in light of SSA’s failure to complete its funding obligations. The note was to have been secured by the pledge of 12,000,000 shares of our common stock; however, it remains unsecured as the pledge of shares was not implemented at the closing of the loan. As a result of his recent incarceration, the Company has been unable to further adjudicate these issues with Mr. Cammarata.

NOTE 11 – INCOME TAXES

For the periods ended June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2022, the Company used a discrete effective tax rate method for recording income taxes, as compared to an estimated full year annual effective tax rate method, as an estimate of the annual effective tax rate cannot be made.

Provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was $701,275 and $796,337, respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of 54.0% and 44.2%, respectively. Provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $635,745 and $641,745, respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of 118.6% and 22.0%, respectively. The provision for income taxes was primarily impacted by pretax book income, permanent differences, and by the change in valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Business Overview

We operate a financial technology (FinTech) services company in several different businesses. We deliver multiple products and services through a direct selling network, also known as multi-level marketing, of independent distributors that offer our products and services through a subscription-based revenue model to our distributors, as well as by our distributors to a large base of customers that we refer to as “members”. Through this business, we provide research, education, and investment tools designed to assist the self-directed investor in successfully navigating the financial markets. These services include research and education regarding equities, options, FOREX, ETFs, binary options, and cryptocurrency. In addition to research and education, we also offer full education and software applications to assist the individual in debt reduction, increased savings, budgeting, and proper tax management. Each product subscription includes a core set of trading tools and research along with the personal finance management suite to provide an individual with complete access to the information necessary to cultivate and manage his or her financial situation. In addition to our education subscriptions, through a distribution arrangement we have with a third party, we have provided our members with an opportunity to purchase through such third party, a specialty form of adaptive digital currency called “ndau”. Through our direct selling model, we compensate our distributors with commissions under a standard bonus plan that allows for discretionary bonuses based on performance.

We also operate a blockchain technology business that provides leading-edge research, development, and FinTech services involving the management of digital asset technologies with a focus on Bitcoin mining and the new generation of digital assets. We own and manage nearly 5,000 next-generation Bitcoin application-specific integrated circuit (“ASIC”) miner machines, with 100% of such machines being powered by renewable energy sources, mainly hydropower plants and geothermal. We are also developing new and more efficient ways to mine cryptocurrencies through innovations in hardware, firmware, and additional ways to develop and utilize renewable energy sources, to increase the hash rate, uptime, profitability, and overall ROI of our crypto currency mining operations.

Since 2021, we have attempted to develop a brokerage and financial markets business. This was originally designed to, among other things, commercialize on the proprietary trading platform we acquired in September 2021 from MPower Trading Systems, LLC (“MPower”), to provide self-directed (DIY) investors with low pricing, a powerful trading platform, research, analytical tools, real-time data & news, insights and support for investing and trading in stocks, options, ETFs and mutual funds. Towards that end, in March 2021, we agreed to acquire a brokerage firm owned by an affiliate of our former chief executive officer. However, having been unable to secure the requisite FINRA approval by the expiration of that agreement, we terminated the transaction on June 14, 2022, and have since then continued our search for alternative acquisitions within the brokerage industry. Further, until we are able to start this business, we recently elected to wind down the registration of a dormant investment advisor and commodity trading advisor we own as we concluded there to be no material benefit to retaining an interest in these regulated businesses until we are able to launch our broader-based financial services model.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2022

Revenues

Revenue, net, increased $2,492,258 or 17%, from $14,765,621 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, to $17,257,879 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase can be explained by a $3.2 million increases in our subscription revenue, offset by a $236 thousand, $430 thousand, $80 thousand, and $6 thousand decrease in our mining revenue, cryptocurrency revenue, miner repair revenue, and digital wallet revenue, respectively. The $3.2 million (29%) increase in subscription revenue was due to significant product enhancements and expansion into new markets globally, resulting in substantial growth in our membership; the $236 thousand (8%) decrease in mining revenue was a result of the decrease in the value of Bitcoin, an increase in Bitcoin mining difficulty levels, the migration of mining servers to a new data center and increased hosting costs, partially offset by the replacement of older less efficient Bitcoin mining equipment with new generation higher performing miners.; and the $430 thousand (83%) decrease in cryptocurrency revenue was due to an overall decrease in the number of sales of NDAU packages.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Operating costs increased $2,882,718, or 22%, from $13,166,192 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, to $16,048,910 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase can be explained by an increase in commissions of $1.8 million, which was a result of increases in our subscription revenue, an increase in cost of sales and services of $691 thousand, which was a result of an increase in the cost of mining, an increase in loss (gain) on disposal of assets of $411 thousand, which was a result of a loss recognized during the current period after the discontinuance of our mining equipment repair business, an increase in salary and related costs of $136 thousand, which was a result of the recognition of more stock-based compensation during the current period, and an increase in selling and marketing costs of $241 thousand, which was mainly driven by an iGenius sales and marketing event. These increases were offset by a decrease in professional fees of $347 thousand due to decreased legal expenses.

Other Income and Expenses

We recorded other income of $89,711 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, which was a difference of $1,153,103, or 108%, from the prior period other expense of $1,063,392. The change is due to a decrease in the realized loss recorded on cryptocurrency in the current period of $14 thousand compared to a realized loss of $838 thousand in the prior period and an increase in Other income (expense) in the current period of $423 thousand compared to $26 thousand in the prior period, which was a result of ticket sales from a promotional event iGenius held during the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

Revenues

Revenue, net, decreased $1,689,193, or 5%, from $32,513,680 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, to $30,824,487 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease can be explained by $1.7 million and $591 thousand decreases in our mining revenue and cryptocurrency revenue, respectively, offset by a $706 thousand increase in our net subscription revenue. The $706 thousand (3%) increase in subscription revenue was due to significant product enhancements and expansion into new markets globally, resulting in substantial growth in our membership; the $1.7 million (26%) decrease in mining revenue was a result of the decrease in the value of Bitcoin and an increase in the Bitcoin mining difficulty levels, the migration of mining servers to a new data center and increased hosting costs, partially offset by the replacement of older less efficient Bitcoin mining equipment with new generation higher performing miners; and the $591 thousand decrease in cryptocurrency revenue was due to an overall decrease in the number of sales of NDAU.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Operating costs increased $2,593,417, or 10%, from $26,629,729 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, to $29,223,146 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase can be explained by an increase in commissions of $904 thousand, which was a result of increases in our subscription revenue, an increase in cost of sales and services of $738 thousand, which was a result of an increase in the cost of mining, an increase in loss (gain) on disposal of assets of $456 thousand, which was a result of a loss recognized during the current period after the discontinuance of our mining equipment repair business, an increase in salary and related costs of $845 thousand, which was a result of the recognition of more stock-based compensation during the current period, and an increase in selling and marketing costs of $494 thousand, which was mainly driven by an iGenius sales and marketing event. These increases were offset by a decrease in professional fees of $832 thousand due to decreased legal expenses.

Other Income and Expenses

We recorded other income of $200,295 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, which was a difference of $3,163,180, or 107%, from the prior period other expense of $2,962,885. The change is due to a realized gain recorded on cryptocurrency in the current period of $229 thousand compared to a realized loss of $1.0 million in the prior period, less related party interest expense recorded in current period versus the prior period ($618 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022), and an increase in Other income (expense) in the current period of $596 thousand compared to $58 thousand in the prior period, which was a result of ticket sales from a promotional event iGenius held during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Amounts recorded in related party interest expense included the amortization of debt discounts, which was being recognized over the term of the debt, however, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, we repaid two of our related party notes early, which resulted in the recognition of $1.2 million of the amortization of the related debt discount amounts into interest.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded net income from operations of $1,601,341 and net income of $1,005,299. We used this cash, as well as other cash on hand, to fund operations, fund the purchase of $2,408,658 worth of fixed assets, to repay $450,258 worth of related party payables, and to repay $483,566 worth of debt. As a result, our cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash increased by $350,192 to $21,839,090 as compared to $21,488,898 at the beginning of the fiscal year. As of June 30, 2023, our current assets exceeded our current liabilities to result in working capital of $12,838,961. We believe we will have sufficient resources, including cash flow from operations and access to capital markets, to meet debt service obligations in a timely manner and be able to meet our short-term business objectives.

Critical Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

Our policy is to prepare our financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations (Regulation S-X) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the six months ended June, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the filing of our December 31, 2023 Form 10-K. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2022 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Investview, Inc., and our wholly owned subsidiaries: iGenius, LLC (formerly Kuvera, LLC), Apex Tek, LLC (formerly Razor Data, LLC), SAFETek, LLC (formerly WealthGen Global, LLC), United Games, LLC, United League, LLC, iGenius Global LTD (formerly Kuvera (N.I.) LTD), Investview Financial Group Holdings, LLC, Investview MTS, LLC, and MyLife Wellness Company. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Long-Lived Assets – Intangible Assets & License Agreement

We account for our cryptocurrencies and intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 350-30, General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill, and ASC Subtopic 360-10-05, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. ASC Subtopic 350-30 requires assets to be measured based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more reliably measurable. Our cryptocurrencies are deemed to have an indefinite useful life; therefore, amounts are not amortized, but rather are assessed for impairment as further discussed in our impairment policy. Under ASC Subtopic 350-30 any intangible asset with a useful life is required to be amortized over that life and the useful life is to be evaluated every reporting period to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of useful life is changed the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over the revised remaining useful life. Costs of internally developing, maintaining, or restoring intangible assets are recognized as an expense when incurred.

We hold cryptocurrency-denominated assets and include them in our consolidated balance sheet as other assets. The value of our cryptocurrencies as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $2,056,858 ($1,929,788 current and $127,070 restricted long term) and $2,474,096 ($2,360,957 current and $113,139 restricted long term), respectively. Cryptocurrencies purchased or received for payment from customers are recorded in accordance with ASC 350-30 and cryptocurrencies awarded to the Company through its mining activities ($4,893,097 and $6,635,117 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively) are accounted for in connection with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. The use of cryptocurrencies is accounted for in accordance with the first in first out method of accounting. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 we recorded realized gains (losses) on our cryptocurrency transactions of $228,845 and $(1,020,597), respectively.

On March 22, 2021, we entered into Securities Purchase Agreement to acquire the operating assets and intellectual property rights of MPower Trading Systems LLC, a company controlled and partially owned by David B. Rothrock and James R. Bell, two of our board members. As a result, we obtained Prodigio, a proprietary software-based trading platform with applications within the brokerage industry, which was valued at $7,240,000 and recorded on our balance sheet as an intangible asset as of December 31, 2021. The intangible asset was expected to have a definite life, however, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the software had not been placed in service, therefore a useful life had not been assigned and no amortization had been recorded. Instead, as of December 31, 2022, the intangible asset was conservatively impaired due to a question on the recoverability of the value recorded.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We have adopted ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or when the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period.

We evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted and an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, no impairment was recorded. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we impaired our fixed assets with a cost basis of $14,875 due to the lack of use. We had recorded accumulated depreciation and accumulated amortization of $8,492 for the impaired assets through the date of impairment, therefore we recorded impairment expense of $6,383 during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Revenue Recognition

Subscription Revenue

Most of our revenue is generated by subscription sales and payment is received at the time of purchase. We recognize subscription revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to provide services over a fixed subscription period; therefore, we recognize revenue ratably over the subscription period and deferred revenue is recorded for the portion of the subscription period subsequent to each reporting date. Additionally, we offer a designated trial period to first time subscription customers, during which a full refund can be requested if a customer does not wish to continue with the subscription. Revenues are deferred during the trial period as collection is not probable until that time has passed. Revenues are presented net of refunds, sales incentives, credits, and known and estimated credit card chargebacks. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our deferred revenues were $2,768,536 and $2,074,574, respectively.

Mining Revenue

Through our wholly owned subsidiary, SAFETek, LLC, we leased equipment under a sales-type lease through June of 2020. In June of 2020 we cancelled all leases and purchased all of the rights and obligations under the leases, which included obtaining ownership of all equipment. We use the equipment on blockchain networks to validate and add blocks of transactions to blockchain ledgers (commonly referred to as “mining”). As compensation for mining, we are issued fees from processors and/or block rewards that are newly created cryptocurrency units granted to us. Our mining activities constitute our ongoing major and central operations of SAFETek, LLC. Because we do not have contracts, nor do we have customers associated with our mining revenue, we recognize revenue when fees and/or rewards are settled, or ultimately granted to us as a result of our mining activities.

Cryptocurrency Revenue

We generate revenue from the sale of cryptocurrency packages to our customers through an arrangement with a third-party supplier. The various packages included different amounts of coin with differing rates of returns and terms. The coin is delivered by a third-party supplier.

We recognize cryptocurrency revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to arrange for a third-party to provide coin to our customers and payment is received from our customers at the time of order placement. All customers are given two weeks to request a refund, therefore we record a customer advance on our balance sheet upon receipt of payment. After the two weeks have passed from order placement, we request our third-party supplier to deliver the coin, at which time we recognize revenue and the amounts due to our supplier on our books. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our customer advances related to cryptocurrency revenue were $68,043 and $96,609, respectively.

Mining Equipment Repair Revenue

Through our wholly owned subsidiary, SAFETek, LLC, we repair broken mining equipment for sale to third-party customers. Our mining equipment repair business was discontinued during the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

We recognize miner repair revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to deliver the promised goods to our customers.

Digital Wallet Revenue

We generate revenue from the sale of digital wallets to our customers through an arrangement with a third-party supplier. We offer three tiers of wallets which include different features. The digital wallets are delivered by a third-party supplier. The sale of digital wallets to our customers was discontinued during the year ended December 31, 2022.

We recognize digital wallet revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract.
