NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation and basis of preparation

 

Pursuant to that certain Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of IncorporationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company dated August 11, 2021, Mawson executed a 10-for-1 reverse stock splitinclude the accounts of the Company and its outstanding common stockwholly or majority owned and reduced its authorized common stock to 120,000,000 shares, as set forthcontrolled subsidiaries. Intercompany investments, balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Non–controlling interests represents the minority equity investment in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed August 16, 2021. Unless otherwise specified, all Mawsonsubsidiaries, plus the minority investors’ share numbers in the Financial Statements and Notes in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect post-reverse stock split numbers.

These consolidated, condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for Cosmos Capital Limited (now known as Mawson Infrastructure Group Pty Ltd) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2020, and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed May 13, 2021. The results of the interim periods are not necessarily indicativenet operating results and other components of equity relating to the results to be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2021. These consolidated condensed interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented.non–controlling interest.

 

Any changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a consolidated subsidiary, through additional equity issuances by the consolidated subsidiary or from the Company acquiring the shares from existing shareholders, in which the Company maintains control is recognized as an equity transaction, with appropriate adjustments to both the Company’s additional paid-in capital and the corresponding non-controlling interest.

 

On March 9, 2021, Cosmos Capital Limited (now known as Mawson Infrastructure Group Pty Ltd)AU was acquired by the Company. For accounting purposes, this was accounted for as a reverse asset acquisition with Cosmos Capital Limited (now known as Mawson Infrastructure Group Pty)AU as the accounting acquirer (refer to significant accounting policies below). The result of which is that these financial statements are taken to be a continuation of Mawson AU’s financial statements, with the Company incorporated within the acquisition and therefore the historical financial information of Mawson AU (then known as Cosmos Capital LimitedLimited) prior to March 9, 2021, became the historical financial information of Mawson Infrastructure Group Pty,AU, which have been consolidated into the financial statements of the Company. The consolidated results of the Company are reported in U.S. Dollars and include the operations of all its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with USU.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company evaluates on an ongoing basis its assumptions. The Company’s management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made.

These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenuesincome and expenses during the reporting periods.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The Company has considered the following to be significant estimates made by management, including but not limited to, going concern assumptions, estimating the useful lives of patent assets and fixed assets, realization of long-lived assets, unrealized tax positions and the realization of digital currencies, Business Combinations, Reverse Asset Acquisition,business combinations, reverse asset acquisition, and the Contingentcontingent obligation with respect to future revenues.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Critical accounting policies are described in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements for Cosmos Capital Limited (now known as Mawson Infrastructure Group Pty Ltd) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2020, included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A10-K filed May 13, 2021.March 21, 2022. There have been no changes to critical accounting policies in the three months period ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022, other than asthe reverse asset acquisition accounting policy which is no longer considered to be a result of changes to operations as described below.critical accounting policy and has therefore been included in significant accounting policies.

Revenue Recognition – Digital asset mining revenue

 

Reverse Asset AcquisitionThe Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of ASC 606 is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Five steps are required to be followed in evaluating revenue recognition: (i) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identity the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price; and (v) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfied a performance obligation.

 

On March 9, 2021, the Company acquired the shares of Cosmos Capital Limited (now known as Mawson Infrastructure Group Pty Ltd) in a scrip for scrip exchange. This transaction has been accounted for as a reverse asset acquisition. Full details of the transaction and the impact are included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 19, 2021. This transaction reverse asset acquisition and the associated impact is referred to as the Cosmos Transaction.


 

In order to identify the performance obligations in a contract with a customer, a company must assess the promised goods or services in the contract and identify each promised good or service that is distinct. A performance obligation meets ASC 606’s definition of a “distinct” good or service (or bundle of goods or services) if both of the following criteria are met: The customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer (i.e., the good or service is capable of being distinct), and the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract (i.e., the promise to transfer the good or service is distinct within the context of the contract).

There is currently no specific definitive guidance in U.S. GAAP or alternative accounting frameworks for the accounting of managing digital currencies and management has exercised significant judgement in determining appropriate accounting treatment for the recognition of revenue for such operations.

The Company has entered into a contract with mining pools and has undertaken the performance obligation of providing computing power in exchange for non-cash consideration in the form of cryptocurrency. The provision of computing power is the only performance obligation in the Group’s contract with its pool operators. In certain pools the amount of reward for computing power depends on the pool’s success in mining blocks. In other pools, the amount of reward includes no such contingency, although the fees payable to such pools are typically higher as a result. Where the consideration received is variable (for example, due to payment only being made upon successful mining), it is recognized when it is highly probable that the variability is resolved, which is generally when the cryptocurrency is received.

The Company measures the non-cash consideration received at the fair market value of the cryptocurrency received. Management estimates fair value on a daily basis, as the quantity of cryptocurrency received multiplied by the price quoted on the crypto exchanges that the Company uses to dispose of cryptocurrency on the day it was received.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. The cost includes any cost of replacing part of the property and equipment with the original cost of the replaced part being derecognized. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in profit or loss incurred. The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met. Property, plant and equipment transferred from customers is initially measured at the fair value at the date on which control is obtained.

The depreciable amount of fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line or declining balance basis based on the asset classification, over their useful lives to the economic entity commencing from the time the assets arrive at their destination where they are ready for use. Depreciation is calculated over the following estimated useful lives:

Financial Asset classUseful lifeDepreciation Method
Fixtures and Fittings5 yearsStraight-Line
Plant and equipment10 yearsStraight-Line
Modular data center5 yearsDeclining
Motor Vehicles5 yearsStraight-Line
Computer equipment3 yearsStraight-Line
Processing Machinery (Miners)2 yearsDeclining

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement when the asset is derecognized.


 

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

The Company changed its policy in relation to freight costs in relation to processing machines with effect from October 1, 2021. Prior to this date these costs were expensed to the statement of operations and profit and loss, and afterwards these costs are capitalized into processing machinery. This change resulted in an increase in processing machines in the balance sheet of $2,040,387 at March 31, 2022, and an increase in the depreciation charge to the statement of operations and profit and loss of $84,735 over the prior treatment.

The Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. During the periods ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, no impairment losses have been identified.

Share based payments

UnderThe Company follows FASB Codification Topic ASC 718-10 Compensation-Stock Compensation. The Company expenses stock-based compensation to employees and non-employees over the termsrequisite service period based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the Cosmos Transaction Bid Implementation Agreement,awards. The Company determines the Company was required to make sharegrant date fair value of the options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. These assumptions are the expected stock volatility, the risk–free interest rate, the expected life of the option, the dividend yield on the underlying stock and the expected forfeiture rate. Expected volatility computes stock price volatility over expected terms based payments consisting of up to 40,000,000 shares under an Incentive Compensation Program and warrants issued to HC Wainwright as a fee related toon its historical common stock trading prices. Risk–free interest rates are calculated based on the acquisition by Mawson of Mawson AU. In addition, Mawson AU had an outstanding obligation to W Capital Advisors Pty Ltd (“W Capital”) for options over the equity of Mawson AU which was terminated for consideration of warrants over the Company’s shares being issued to W Capital.implied yield available on U. S. 10-year Treasury bond.

 

Share based payments expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $21.78 million and $nil respectively. In the nine-month period to September 30, 2021, share based payments were largely attributable to HC Wainwright of $6.18 million, W Capital Warrants of $5.56 million and an accrual of $10.00 million for amounts related to the obligation of Mawson to issue RSU’s pursuant to the terms of the Bid Implementation Agreement for the Cosmos Transaction, included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed May 13, 2021. No share-based payments expenses were recorded in the 2020 period.

Equity accounted investments

Mawson subscribed for 500,000 shares in Distributed Storage Solutions Pty Ltd (DSS) at AUD$1.00 per share on March 1, 2020. As at September 30, 2021, Mawson held 20.06% of the equity in DSS, an Australian private company operating a blockchain based decentralized storage business, based on the IPFS protocol. This investment has been equity accounted, as Mawson has assessed that it has significant influence over the operations of the investee.

Significant Accounting Policies

 

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020, and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed May 13, 2021, other than as a result of changes to operations as described below.  Revenue Recognition - Hosting Co-location revenue

 

The Company provides power for our co-location hosting customers on a variable basis which is received monthly from the customer based on the power usage at the rate outlined in each customer contract.

We recognize variable power revenue each month as the uncertainty related to the consideration is resolved, power is provided to our customers, and our customers utilize the power (the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the Company’s performance).

The customer contracts contain performance obligations, variable consideration in such contracts to be allocated to and recognized in the period to which the consideration relates. Usually this is when it is invoiced, rather than obtaining an estimation of variable consideration at the beginning of the customer contracts.

Customers also are invoiced a fixed monthly fee for maintenance services which include, cleaning, cabling and other services to maintain the customers’ equipment.

Revenue Recognition - Sale of crypto currency mining equipment

Crypto currency mining equipment sales revenue includes revenues related to the sale of Miners. This is recognized as revenue upon delivery to the customer, which is when the control of the Miner transfers. Payments are typically received at the point control transfers or in accordance with payment terms customary to the business.


Revenue recognition – equipment sales

 

In Q3 2021, theThe Company earned revenues from the sale of earlier generation cryptocurrency mining units and modular data centers that have been assembled or refurbished for resale (collectively “Hardware”). Revenue from the sale of Hardware is recognized when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, (ii) the sales terms are fixed or determinable, (iii) title and risk of loss have transferred, and (iv) payment is received. At the date of sale, the net book value is expensed in cost of revenues.

Cost of revenues:

Cost of revenue consists primarily of expenses that are directly related to providing the Company’s service to its paying customers. These primarily consist of costs associated with operating our co-location facilities such as direct power costs, energy costs (including any carbon offset acquired during the year), freight costs and material costs related to cryptocurrency mining.

Research and development expenses:

Research and development expenses are charged to the statement of comprehensive loss as incurred.

Income taxes:

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance may be established to reduce the deferred tax asset to the level at which it is “more likely than not” that the tax asset or benefits will be realized. Realization of tax benefits of deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards depends on having sufficient taxable income of an appropriate character within the carryback or carryforward periods.

The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon review by the taxing authority. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.

Functional currency:

All subsidiaries of Company have a functional currency of United States dollar (“USD”) with the exceptions of Mawson Infrastructure Group Pty Ltd, MIG No.1 Pty Ltd, Cosmos Trading Pty Ltd, BITTD Pty Ltd and Cosmos Asset Management Pty Ltd whose functional currency is the Australian Dollar (“AUD”). The financial statements of foreign businesses have been translated into USD at current exchange rates for balance sheet items and at the average rate for income statement items. Translation of all the consolidated companies’ financial records into USD is required due to the reporting currency for these consolidated financial statements presented as USD and the functional currency of the parent company being that of AUD. Translation adjustments are accumulated in other comprehensive loss. Revenue and expense accounts are converted at prevailing rates throughout the year. Gains or losses on foreign currency transactions and translation adjustments in highly inflationary economies are recorded in income in the period in which they are incurred.


Segment Reporting:

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision–making group in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our chief operating decision–making group is composed of the chief executive officer. We currently operate in one segment surrounding our cryptocurrency mining operation.

Cash and cash equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, cash held with digital currency exchanges, and other short-term and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less.

Digital Currencies

 

Digital currencies are included in current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Digital currencies are recorded at cost less impairment.classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, and are accounted for in connection with the Company’s revenue recognition policy detailed above.

 

An intangible asset with an indefinite useful lifeThe following table presents the Company’s digital currency (Bitcoin) activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, and 2021: 

  Three months to March 31, 
  2022  2021

Number of Bitcoin sold  (459.60)  (113.45)
Closing number of Bitcoin held as at March 31, 2022 and 2021  0.00   10.29 

Digital currency is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. In testing for impairment, the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is determined that it is not 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.

 

The following table presentsCompany’s policy is to dispose of production at the activitiesearliest opportunity, the holding period is minimal, usually no more than a few days. Due to the short period which Bitcoin are held prior to sale and the consequent small numbers held, the risk of the digital currencies of the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021:impairment is not material.

The Company records a prepaid expense for costs paid but not yet incurred. Those expected to be incurred within one year are recognized and shown as equipment deposits. Equipment deposits result from advance payments to suppliers for goods to be received in the future. Equipment deposits are initially recognized as assets at the date the amount is paid, and are subsequently recorded as equipment as the Company takes delivery and control of the equipment from the supplier. Amounts are recognized initially at the amount of the unconditional consideration. They are subsequently measured at cost, less loss allowance.

Reverse Asset Acquisition:

On March 9, 2021, the Company acquired the shares of Cosmos Capital Limited (now known as Mawson Infrastructure Group Pty Ltd and referred to herein as Mawson AU) in a stock for stock exchange. This transaction has been accounted for as a reverse asset acquisition. This transaction reverse asset acquisition and the associated impact is referred to as the “Cosmos Transaction”.

 


 

��

Under the terms of the Cosmos Transaction Bid Implementation Agreement, the Company was required to make share based payments consisting of up to 40,000,000 shares under an Incentive Compensation Program and warrants issued to HC Wainwright as a fee related to the acquisition by Mawson of Mawson AU. In addition, Mawson AU had an outstanding obligation to W Capital Advisors Pty Ltd (“W Capital”) for options over the equity of Mawson AU which was terminated for consideration of warrants over the Company’s shares being issued to W Capital.

Fair value of financial instruments:

The Company accounts for financial instruments under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:

Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — observable inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and

Level 3 — assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are based on the Company’s market assumptions. Unobservable inputs require significant management judgment or estimation. In some cases, the inputs used to measure an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is required to be classified using the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Such determination requires significant management judgment.

Of the Company’s financial instruments on the Company’s balance sheet as at March 31, 2022, the only item measured and recorded at fair value is the Marketable Securities of $336,897, which are categorized as Level 1.

Concentrations of credit risk:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted bank deposits are invested in banks in Australia and the U.S. If the counterparty completely failed to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract, is the maximum amount of loss the Company would be the balance. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s investments are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments. The Company has no off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.

Legal and other contingencies: 

The Company accounts for its contingent liabilities in accordance with ASC 450 “Contingencies”. A provision is recorded when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. With respect to legal matters, provisions are reviewed and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. As of March 31, 2022, the Company is not a party to any litigation that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


 

BasicLeases:

The Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases which was effective January 1, 2019. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Using ASC 842 leases are classified as operating or finance leases on the Balance Sheet as a right of use (“ROU”) assets and Diluted Net Loss per Sharelease liabilities within current liabilities and long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The Company’s lease does not provide an implicit rate and therefore the Company measured the ROU asset and lease obligation based upon the present value of future minimum lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is estimated based on risk-free discount rate for the lease, determined using a period comparable with that of the lease term and in a similar economic environment. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such options. The Company does not record leases on the consolidated balance sheets with a term of one year or less. The Company does not separate lease and non-lease components but rather account for each separate component as a single lease component for all underlying classes of assets. Where leases contain escalation clauses, rent abatements, or concessions, such as rent holidays and landlord or tenant incentives or allowances, the Company applies them in the determination of straight-line operating lease cost over the lease term.

Net loss per common share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260: Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”). Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted net loss per share does not include dilutive common stock equivalents in the weighted average shares outstanding, as they would be anti-dilutive.

 

Securities that could potentially dilute loss per share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as at September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 are as follows:

We continue to conduct research and development intoin relation to our Modular Data Centre (MDC)MDCs which we are actively testing in several configurations and locations to determine the best configuration for both Application Specific Integrated Circuits (“ASIC”)ASIC and alternate computing uses, including both for use in Graphics Processing Units (GPU) systems and traditional CPU based computing systems.uses.

In addition, our indirect subsidiary, Cosmos Asset Management Pty Ltd (“Cosmos Asset Management”), is the investment manager of the Bitcoin Wholesale Access Fund, a wholesale, unregistered managed investment scheme which currentlyBitcoin Wholesale Access Fund invests in and holds Bitcoin for third party investors and is the manager of the Cosmos Global Digital Miners Access ETF, listed on Chi-XCboe in Australia under the code DIGA.

Our Products and Services. Prior LO2A BusinessOur digital asset infrastructure business can be divided into three main activities:

Digital Processing and Hosting Solutions (Mining)On March 9, 2021, the Company acquired the shares of Mawson AU in a stock for stock exchange (the “Cosmos Transaction”).

The business of digital processing and mining requires the purchase and ownership of computing hardware and servers specificPrior to the computing problem that a person is seeking to solve, referred toCosmos Transaction our main business undertaking was as a “Miner”clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the treatment of ophthalmic disorders, including dry eye syndrome (our “LO2A business”). Each Miner or component thereof can be specifically specialized to perform a function better than other hardware for the purpose of maximizing the return from any specific processing task.

Mining hardware performs computational operations in support of the blockchain measured in “hash rate” or “hashes per second.” A “hash” is the computation run by mining hardware in support of the blockchain; therefore, a miner’s “hash rate” refers to the rate at which it is capable of solving such computations. The original equipment used for mining Bitcoin utilized the Central Processing Unit (“CPU”) of a computer to mine various forms of cryptocurrency. Due to performance limitations, CPU mining was rapidly replaced by the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), which offers significant performance advantages over CPUs. General purpose chipsets like CPUs and GPUs have since been replaced in the mining industry by ASIC chips. These ASIC chips are designed specifically to maximize the rate of hashing operations.

Asset Management

We have a dedicated asset management business, which is operated through Cosmos Asset Management, which is involved in the ownership and management of digital assets and infrastructure, and which is the investment managerHowever, as part of the Cosmos Global Digital Miners Access ETF, listed on Chi-X in Australia underTransaction, substantially all of the code DIGA Bitcoin Access Wholesale Fund, a wholesale, unregistered managed investment scheme which invests in and holds Bitcoin for third party investors. This business leverages the existing knowledge and infrastructureeconomic benefits of any successful monetization of our digitalLO2A business, if any, will benefit only the holders of CVR and any contingent right holders. Accordingly, we assessed that the fair value of this asset business to provide its investors exposure to various investment opportunities.at the acquisition date was $nil. The asset was therefore assessed as impaired and the prior carrying amount of $23.96 million has been fully expensed in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.


 

Through a strategic partnership with Independent Reserve Pty Limited, one of Australia’s leading digital exchanges, Cosmos Asset Management has custody agreements and security procedures in place to manage the various risks with investing in digital assets. In addition, Cosmos Asset Management manages a dedicated business in distributed storage infrastructure.

As of September 30, 2021, the funds under management of the asset management business are approximately USD$4.00 million.

Research and Development

Our research and development, or R&D, program is focused on researching and exploring opportunities to improve the efficiency of hardware and software and MDC’s, including the development of technology to enable us to own and operate MDCs that are both air cooled and liquid immersion cooled. We have also begun research into the software element of computing and are in the initial stages of researching a range of programs to improve efficiency through this avenue as well.

We are conducting research in both Australia and the United States. By conducting research in different countries, we are able to research improvements in efficiencies across varying climates. The climate in Nebraska (extremely warm dry summers, extremely cold, windy winters), varies greatly to Georgia (hot, humid summers, cool, still winters) which varies greatly to Sydney (warm, humid summers, mild, windy winters).

We have partnered with leading design firms in both Australia and the United States to ensure the finished products can be deployed in different climates. By using global designers and vendors, it provides us the opportunity to seek to enhance the design to ensure success of the technology in all jurisdictions, climates and scenarios.

On March 16, 2022, Luna Squares LLC entered into a lease with respect to a property in the City of Sharon, Mercer County, Pennsylvania with Vertua Property, Inc, a subsidiary entity in which Vertua Ltd has a 100% ownership interest. James Manning, CEO, a director and a significant stockholder of the Company is also a director of Vertua Ltd and has a material interest in the Sharon lease as a large shareholder of Vertua Ltd. The lease contains market standard legal terms, and will be for a term of 5 years, and Luna Squares LLC has 2 options to extend for 5 years each. The Audit Committee of the Company has compared the rent and terms to other arms’ length leases the Company has entered into and formed the view the rent is in line with the market for similar properties. Rent is subject to annual increases equal to the CPI for the Northeast Region, or 4%, whichever is higher. The base rental amount in the first year is $0.24 million. Depending on power energization and usage, variable additional rent may be payable, with charges ranging from $500 to $10,000 per month, depending on power energized and whether it is available. Upon the recommendation from the Audit Committee, the directors of the Company, other than James Manning, were made aware of the material facts as to Mr. Hoffman’s equityManning’s interest of 25% in Luna.the lease and authorized the Company in good faith to enter the lease after determining the lease to be fair to the Company.

This relates to TRS Ventures LLC’s equity interest of 5% in Luna.

COVID-19.

The COVID-19 global pandemic has been unpredictable and unprecedented and is likely to continue to result in significant national and global economic disruption, which may adversely affect our business. The Company relies on equipment supplied by third parties which, like many manufacturing businesses globally, are at risk of supply chain issues. We currently do not expect any material impact on our long-term development, operations, or liquidity due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, we are actively monitoring this situation and the possible effects on our financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, and industry.

Regulation of Digital Assets

Digital assets and cryptocurrencies have been the source of much regulatory consternation, resulting in differing definitional outcomes without a single unifying statement. We do not believe our mining activities require registration to conduct such activities and accumulate digital assets. Nevertheless it is likely that regulation in the digital asset industry will increase. On March 9, 2022, President Biden issued an executive order that identified the following objectives for future regulation of digital assets in the United States: (1) protect consumers, investors, and businesses, (2) protect financial stability, (3) mitigate the illicit finance and national security risks posed by misuse of digital assets, (4) reinforce United States leadership in the global financial system and in technological and economic competitiveness, (5) promote access to safe and affordable financial services, and (6) support technological advances that promote responsible development and use of digital assets. The executive order was generally received as a positive for the digital asset industry, especially in the United States, as it appears to seek to foster an environment of innovation for digital assets within some reasonable bounds. This can be seen as similar to moves in the Australian government context, where the government has declared that it is seeking to better understand digital assets in order to craft and promulgate better designed regulation, and can be seen as contrasting to the reactions in some jurisdictions, where outright bans and other barriers have been erected against digital assets and cryptocurrencies.


 

In the past it has also been noted that the SEC, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), Nasdaq or other governmental or quasi-governmental agency or organization (including similar authorities in other jurisdictions such as Australia) may conclude that our digital asset mining activities involve the offer or sale of “securities”, or ownership of “investment securities”, and we may face regulation under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the Investment Company Act of 1940. Such regulation or the inability to meet the requirements to continue operations, would have a material adverse effect on business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of our business. Currently in Australia, Bitcoin itself is not considered a financial product nor are digital assets regarded as money or currency for the purpose of Australian law. The effect of any future regulatory change on digital assets or an entity dealing in or holding digital assets is impossible to predict, but such change could be substantial and adverse to our financial returns.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company utilizes a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing its overall business performance, for making operating decisions and for forecasting and planning future periods. The Company considers the use of non-GAAP financial measures helpful in assessing its current financial performance, ongoing operations and prospects for the future. While the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures as a tool to enhance its understanding of certain aspects of its financial performance, the Company does not consider these measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial measures. Consistent with this approach, the Company believes that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures to the readers of its financial information provides such readers with useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for GAAP financial measures, allows for greater transparency in the review of its financial and operational performance. Investors are cautioned that there are inherent limitations associated with the use non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and many of the adjustments to the GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in the company’s financial results for the foreseeable future. In addition, other companies, including other companies in the Company’s industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than the Company does, limiting their usefulness as a comparative tool.

The Company is providing supplemental financial measures for (i) non-GAAP adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or (“adjusted EBITDA”) that excludes the impact of interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation expense, LO2A write-back, unrealized gains/losses on share of associates, and certain non-recurring expenses. We believe that adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis.

We believe our working capital requirements will continue to be funded through a combination of the cash we expect to generate from future operations, our existing funds, external debt facilities available to us and further issuances of shares. These are expected to be adequate to fund our operations over the next twelve months. For our business to grow it is expected we will continue investing in mining equipment, we are likely to require additional capital in either the short-term or long-term.

Critical accounting estimates and estimates

The preparation of the capital raises which occurredfinancial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the period.financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company has considered the following to be significant estimates made by management, including but not limited to:

OutlookGoing concern assumption- Management assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

According to management estimates, liquidity resources asLong-lived assets- Management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances have occurred that may affect the recoverability or the estimated useful lives of September 30, 2021 willlong-lived assets. Long-lived assets include property and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets. A long-lived asset may be sufficient to maintain our planned levelimpaired when the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of operations for the next 12 months. However, we may need to raise additional funding or capital raising in order to purchase more equipment or expand operations. Additional financingasset. If that comparison indicates that the asset’s carrying value may not be availablerecoverable, the impairment is measured based on acceptable terms, if at all. Our future capital requirements as well as the ability to obtain financing will depend on many factors, including those listed under Item 1A. “Risk Factors”difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.asset.

Off-Balance Sheet ArrangementsStock based compensation- Management used Black-Scholes to evaluate our awards and will continue to use judgment in evaluating the assumptions related to our stock-based compensation on a prospective basis.

In connection with the Cosmos Transaction, we issued one contingent value right (“CVR”) to each of our securityholders for each outstanding share of common stock of Mawson, and for each share of common stock of Mawson underlying other convertible securities and warrants, held immediately before the closing of the Cosmos Transaction. Each CVR represents the right to receive a pro rata share of any consideration that we may receive in connection with any successful monetization of our LO2A business, less transaction expenses and customary deductions as detailed in the CVR agreement, including a deduction of up to $300,000 to be repaid to us for amounts we spend in the development of the LO2A Technology at the request of the Holders’ Representative.

Other than the CVRs and the Contingent obligation in relation to LO2A, as of September 30, 2021, the Company did not have any other off-balance sheet arrangements, as such term is defined under Item 303 of Regulation S-K, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

LO2A Business.

Through our holdings in the entities, WizePharma, Inc. and Occuwize Inc., which form the prior Company Wize Pharma, Inc., we also have in-licensed certain rights to purchase, market, sell and distribute a formula known as LO2A, a drug developed for the treatment of dry eye syndrome (“DES”), and other ophthalmological illnesses, including Conjunctivochalasis (“CCH”) and Sjögren’s syndrome (“Sjögren’s”). However, as part of the Cosmos Transaction, substantially all of the economic benefits of any successful monetization of our LO2A business, if any, will benefit only the holders CVRs and any contingent right holders.


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

As a smaller reporting company, the Company has elected not to provide the disclosure required by this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Management,Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), has evaluated the effectiveness of theour disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a- 15(e)) and 15d- 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this QuarterlyAnnual Report. Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officerour Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officerChief Financial Officer have concluded that due to the Company’s material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, the Company’sour disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2021.

As previously disclosed,March 31, 2022, due to the Company’s management identified a material weaknessweaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. reporting described below. Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures is expressed at a level of reasonable assurance because management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. 


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

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’sour annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The material weakness identified is described below.

Significant Reliance on Key Individuals. There are significant manual processes involved in the Company’s accounting, management and control functions with limitedis inadequate segregation of duties in place related to our financial reporting and secondary review.other management review and oversight procedures due to the lack of sufficient accounting personnel. This is not inconsistent with similar small fast-growing organizations. This gives rise to the risk of lack of ability to react in a timely manner to operations issues and meet increased US GAAP/PCAOB/SOX/SEC registrant requirements. As well asIn addition, this poses the risk that compliance and other reporting obligations as a result of risk of management override are not adequately dealt with. Management is

Controls over the financial statement close and reporting process. Controls were not adequately designed in the process of remedying thisfinancial statement close and is seekingreporting process. This includes controls related to hire additional resources to reduce its reliance on key individualscomplex and judgmental accounting transactions, account reconciliations and financial statement disclosures.

ChangesInformation and Technology Controls. There are control deficiencies related to information technology (“IT”) general controls that aggregate into a material weakness. The inadequate design of these IT general and application controls prevent the system from providing complete and accurate information consistent with financial reporting objectives. Deficiencies identified include lack of controls over access to programs and data, program changes, program development, program changes and general IT controls.

Data from third parties. The Company did not properly design or implement controls to ensure that data received from third parties is complete and accurate. Such data is relied on by the Company in determining amounts pertaining to revenue and cryptocurrency assets is complete and accurate.

Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses and management’s assessment that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2022, management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We rely on the assistance of outside advisors with expertise in these matters in preparing the financial statements. 

Remediation

Our Board of Directors and management take internal control over financial reporting and the integrity of our financial statements seriously. Our management continues to work to improve its controls related to our material weaknesses. Since March 9, 2021, with the oversight of senior management and our audit committee, we have begun taking steps and plan to take additional measures to remediate the underlying causes of the identified material weaknesses, primarily through the performance of a risk assessment process; the development and implementation of formal, documented policies and procedures, improved processes and control activities (including an assessment of the segregation of duties); as well as the hiring of additional finance personnel for specific roles such as financial reporting. During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,fourth quarter of 2021, we made the following changes to our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting:

We have developed entity level and process level controls with respect to the preparation and review of our consolidated financial statements.statements as well as transactional level controls over all business processes and IT controls. We have developed process level controls relating to the review of manually prepared analyses and supporting information used to prepare our consolidated financial statements. We are in the process of testingimplementing and validating these controls. At this time, we cannot state whether these controls will prove to be effective.

We are currently working to write policies and procedures to ensure the effective design and operation of general IT controls over our financial reporting systems. We have not yet completed our development, implementation and testing of these controls. At this time, we cannot state whether these controls will prove to be effective.

However, the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting will not be considered remediated until other information technology general controls and process-level controls operate for a sufficient period of time and can be tested and concluded by management to be designed and operating effectively. We cannot provide any assurance that these remediation efforts will be successful or that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective as a result of these efforts. In addition, we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting related to the identified material weaknesses, management may determine to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify the remediation plan described above.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

Except for the remedial measures described above, there have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

However, we have been in the past, and may be from time to time in the conduct offuture, named as a defendant in certain routine litigation incidental to our business.  However, as of September 30, 2021, we are unaware of any material pending legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Other than as set forth below, thereThere are no material changes to the Company’s risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the supplemental risk factors in Part II, Item 1A in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the period subsequent to our most recent fiscal year end.2021.

The public trading market for our Common Stock is volatile and may result in higher spreads in stock prices, which may limit the ability of our investors to sell their shares at a profit, if at all.

Our Common Stock traded in the over-the-counter market and was quoted on the OTCQB until September 28, 2021, when our Common Stock began to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The over-the-counter market for securities has historically experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations during certain periods. These broad market fluctuations may have adversely affected the market price of our Common Stock in the past. In addition, the spreads on stock traded through the over-the-counter market are generally unregulated and higher than on stock exchanges, which mean that the difference between the price at which shares could be purchased by investors in the over-the-counter market compared to the price at which they could be subsequently sold would be greater than on these exchanges. Historically our trading volume has been insufficient to significantly reduce this spread and has had a limited number of market makers sufficient to affect this spread. It has yet to be determined whether the listing of our stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market will result in less extreme price and volume fluctuations, lower spreads and/or higher trading volumes.

Our Common Stock is thinly traded, so you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.

Our Common Stock has historically been thinly traded. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume and were traded on the OTCQB, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our Common Stock will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained.


Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the three month period ended March 31, 2022, in addition to those sales previously disclosed in our filings with the SEC, we have issued and sold the following securities without registration under the Securities Act: 

1.On August 2, 2021, we issued 5,556 shares of our common stock to Kyle Hoffman (calculated as USD50,000 worth of common stock at a stock price of USD9.00) pursuant to our Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Mr. Hoffman as partial consideration for our purchase of Mr. Hoffman’s equity interest of 25% in Luna Squares LLC. The shares were issued under the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
2.On August 2, 2021, we issued 11,111 shares of our common stock to TRS Ventures LLC (calculated as USD 100,000 worth of common stock at a stock price of USD 9.00) pursuant to our Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with TRS Ventures LLC as partial consideration for our purchase of TRS Ventures LLC’s equity interest of 15% in Luna Squares LLC. The shares were issued under the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
3.On August 27, 2021, we issued 5,556 shares of its common stock to TRS Ventures LLC (calculated as USD 50,000 worth of common stock at a stock price of US $9.00 per share) pursuant to our Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with TRS Ventures LLC as partial consideration for our purchase of TRS Ventures LLC’s equity interest of 5% in Luna Squares LLC. The shares were issued under the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 

During January of 2022, we issued 5,000 shares of our common stock with a fair market value of $57,500 to TraDigital Marketing Group LLC for consultancy services provided to us.

During February of 2022, we issued 8,787 shares of our common stock with a fair market value of $50,000 to Kyle Hoffman as part of the contingent consideration for the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement we entered with him to acquire his membership interests in Luna Squares LLC.

On February 23, 2022, we issued to Celsius Mining, warrants to purchase up to 3,850,000 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of US$6.50 per share, in connection with the $20 million loan made by Celsius to Luna Squares LLC in connection with a Customer Equipment and Co-Location Agreement entered into by Celsius and Luna Squares LLC.

We believe that all of the foregoing sales qualified for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D, as promulgated under the Securities Act, since the issuance of the securities by us did not involve a public offering. The offerings were not “public offerings” as defined in Section 4(a)(2) due to the type of investors, the insubstantial number of investors involved in the offering, the size of the offering, the manner of the offering and number of securities offered. In addition, these security holders represented as to the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D. We did not employ an underwriter in connection with the issuance of the securities described above.
