(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – GENERAL

 

General

 

Mawson Infrastructure Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “Mawson” or “we”), formerly known as Wize Pharma, Inc, and before that, known as OphthaliX Inc., was incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 10, 2012.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, including the results of the Company’s subsidiaries: Mawson Infrastructure Group Pty Ltd (“Mawson AU”, previously known as Cosmos Capital Limited), Cosmos Trading Pty Ltd, Cosmos Infrastructure LLC, Cosmos Manager LLC, MIG No.1 Pty Ltd, Mawson AU Limited, (incorporated June 8, 2022), Luna Squares LLC, Luna Squares Texas LLC, (formed January 27, 2022), Luna Squares Repairs LLC, Luna Squares Property LLC, Mawson Midland LLC (formed September 21, 2022), Mawson Ohio LLC (formed September 21, 2022) and Mawson Mining LLC (collectively referred to as the “Group”), have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Wize NC Inc, Occuwize Ltd and Wize Pharma Ltd are additional subsidiaries of Mawson, however these companies have not been consolidated into the financial statements as these companies are subject to contingent value rights (“CVR”), further described in NOTE 10.11.

 

These consolidated, condensed unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group as of December 31, 2021, and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with SEC on March 21, 2022. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S GAAP for complete financial statements. The results of the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2022. 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.

 

Mawson, through its subsidiaries, is a ‘Digital Asset Infrastructure’ business, which owns and operates modular data centers (“MDCs”) based in the United States and Australia. As at JuneSeptember 30, 2022, Mawson owned and had ordered 35,32933,350 Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (“ASIC”) computers known as “Miners,” specifically focused on the SHA-256 algorithm, from a variety of manufacturers, including Bitmain Technology Holding Company (“Bitmain”), Canaan Creative (HK) Holdings Limited (“Canaan”) and Shenzhen MicroBT Electronics Technology Co., Ltd (“Whatsminer”).

 

Going Concern

 

For the six-monthnine-month period ending JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the Company incurred a loss after tax of $13.98$35.23 million, and as at JuneSeptember 30, 2022, had net current liabilities of $55.96$24.69 million, had total net assets of $92.77 million and had an accumulated deficit of $82.95$103.81 million. The Company’s cash position as at JuneSeptember 30, 2022, was $2.50$1.18 million. These conditions raise substantial doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 

Management of the Company believes that there are reasonable grounds to conclude that the Company will continue as a going concern after having regard forconsideration of the following factors.factors:

 

The Company’s plans include improving profitability and generating sufficient cash flow from operations.

On September 8, 2022, the Company entered into a (i) Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with CleanSpark , Inc. (“CleanSpark”), and (ii) an Equipment Purchase and Sale Agreement. Pursuant of the Purchase Agreement, CleanSpark assumed from the Company a lease for approximately 16.35 acres of real property located in Sandersville, Washington County, Georgia, and all personal property situated on the property. This transaction closed on October 8, 2022, and CleanSpark paid the following consideration to the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement: (i) $13.50 million in cash; (ii) 1,590,175 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of CleanSpark (valued at $4.8 million on October 7, 2022), and (iii) $6.5 million in seller financing in the form of promissory notes. Pursuant to the Equipment Purchase and Sale Agreement, CleanSpark’s subsidiary purchased from the Company, 6,468 (which number was later reduced to 6,349 by amendment) application-specific integrated circuit miners for $9.48 million in cash (which was later reduced to $9.02 million by amendment). This transaction initially closed on October 8, 2022, and was amended on October 21, 2022.

 

Management of the Company is of the opinion that the Company can continue to access adequate debt and equity funding to meet its working capital requirements. In July 2022, the Company raised $3.60 million through an issue of secured convertible promissory notes and an aggregate of $5.62 million of net proceeds from the issuance of shares and warrants. The Company has the ability through itsit’s At the Market Offering Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”), to sell shares of ourits common stock with an aggregate sales price of up to $100 million. To the extent the Group were to raiseCompany raises additional capital or debt, this could cause additional dilution to ourthe Company’s current stockholders. The terms of any future capital raise or debt issuance and the costs of any financing are uncertain. There are no assurances that the GroupCompany would be able to raise additional financing when needed or that it would be able to do so on favourablefavorable terms.

 

Based on internally prepared forecast cash flows which take into consideration what management considers to be reasonable scenarios given the inherent risks and uncertainties, combined with existing cash balances, management believes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations as they fallbecome due for at least one year from the date of approval of these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 


Accordingly, management of the Company believebelieves that it is appropriate to prepare the Group’s consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis. However, should the Company be unable to source sufficient funding through the factors noted above, the Company may not be able to realize assets at their recognized values and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business at the amounts stated in these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 

These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and carrying amounts of assets and the amounts of liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and meet its obligations and debts as and when they fall due.

 


NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation and basis of preparation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the CompanyGroup include the accounts of the Company and its wholly or majority owned and controlled subsidiaries, other than those subsidiaries subject to the CVR described more in NOTE 10.11. Intercompany investments, balances and transactions have been eliminated inon consolidation. Non–controlling interests represent the minority equity investment in the Company’s subsidiaries, plus the minority investors’ share of the net operating results and other components of equity relating to the 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, Mawson AU was acquired by the Company. For accounting purposes, this was accounted for as a reverse asset acquisition with Mawson AU as the accounting acquirer (refer to significant accounting policies below). The result of which is that these consolidated 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 Limited) prior to March 9, 2021, became the historical financial information of Mawson AU, which have been consolidated into the financial statements of the Company. 

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.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 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, going concern assumptions, estimating the useful lives of fixed assets, realization of long-lived assets, unrealized tax positions and the realization of digital currencies, valuing the derivative asset classified under Level 3 fair value hierarchy, business combinations, reverse asset acquisition, and the contingent obligation with respect to future revenues.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Critical accounting policies are described in the consolidated financial statements for Mawsonthe Company included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K filed with SEC on March 21, 2022. There have been some changes to critical accounting policies in the sixnine months period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022. The reverse asset acquisition accounting policy which is no longer considered to be a critical accounting policy and has therefore been included in significant accounting policies, and the fair value of financial instruments has been moved from significant accounting policies to critical accounting policies.

 

Revenue Recognition – Digital asset mining revenue

 

The 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.

  

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’sCompany’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. Low-cost assets are capitalized and immediately depreciated. Depreciation is calculated over the following estimated useful lives:

 

Asset class Useful life Depreciation Method
Fixtures and Fittings 5 years Straight-Line
Plant and equipment 10 years Straight-Line
Modular data center 5 years Declining
Motor Vehicles 5 years Straight-Line
Computer equipment 3 years Straight-Line
Processing Machinery (Miners) 2 years Declining
Transformers 15 years Straight-Line
Leasehold improvements 10 years Straight-Line

 

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 $2,978,232$3,130,638 as at JuneSeptember 30, 2022, and an increase in the depreciation charge to the sixnine months to JuneSeptember 30, 2022 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. DuringThere were impairment charges recognized for processing machines of $4,195,046 for the sixnine month periodsperiod ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, and 2021, no impairment losses have been identified.$nil for the nine month period ended September 30, 2021.

 


 

 

Fair value of and recognition of revenue from 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.

Level 1 Assets:

The Company held 50 million shares in DXN Limited (“DXN”), an Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) listed company as at December 31, 2021. This was recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the DXN investment is classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as it is quoted on an active market, that being the ASX. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company sold all its shares in DXN.

 

Level 3 Assets: 

 

Power Supply Agreement

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a derivative asset related to its Power Supply Agreement with Energy Harbor LLC, the energy supplier to the Company’s Pennsylvania Facility.facility. The Power Supply Agreement was classified as a derivative asset and measured at fair value on the date of Power Supply Agreement, with changes in fair value recognized in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair value of the Company’s derivate asset is classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the significant unobservable inputs utilized in the valuation. Specifically, ourthe Company’s discounted cash flow estimation models contain quoted commodity exchange spot and forward prices and are adjusted for basis spreads for load zone-to-hub differentials through the term of the Power Supply Agreement, which ends in December 2026. In addition, the GroupCompany adopted a further discount rate utilized of approximately 20% above the terminal value of the observable market inputs, but also includes unobservable inputs based on qualitative judgment related to company-specific risk factors. The terms of the Power Supply Agreement require pre-payment of collateral, calculated as forward cost based on the market cost rate of electricity versus the fixed price stated in the contract.

 

Tasmania Data Infrastructure Pty Ltd (“TDI”)

 

During June 2022, Mawson AU Limited entered into a License and Services Agreement with TDI in exchange for 42,562,432 fully paid issued shares in TDI. During September 2022, Mawson AU sold a MDC to TDI thisin exchange for a further 10 million fully paid issued shares. TDI is held at fair value of $1.47$1.71 million as at JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the fair value usesof the asset is classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the significant unobservable inputs.inputs utilized in the valuation. The change in fair value is recognized in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 


 

 

Level 1 Assets:

The company holds 50 million shares in DXN Limited (“DXN”), an Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) listed company. This is recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the DXN investment is classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as it is quoted on an active market, that being the ASX. 

Accounting for Power Supply Contract

 

In June 2022, the companyCompany entered into a Power Supply Agreement with Energy Harbor LLC to provide the delivery of a fixed portion of the total amount of electricity for a fixed price through to December 2026. If the Pennsylvania sitefacility uses more electricity than contracted, the cost of the excess is incurred at a new price quoted by Energy Harbor.Harbor LLC.

 

While the Company manages operating costs at the Pennsylvania Facilityfacility in part by periodically selling unused or uneconomical power back to the market, we dothe Company does not consider such actions trading activities. That is, the Company does not engage in speculation in the power market as part of ourits ordinary activities. Because the sale of any electricity under a curtailment program allows for net settlement, we havethe Company has determined the Power Supply Agreement meets the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, (“ASC 815”). However, because the Company has the ability to sell the power back to the grid rather than take physical delivery, physical delivery is not probable through the entirety of the contract and therefore, we dothe Company does not believe the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception applies to the Power Supply Agreement. Accordingly, the Power Supply Agreement (the non-hedging derivative contract) is recorded at estimated fair value each reporting period with the change in the fair value recorded in change in fair value of derivative asset in the consolidated statements of operations (refer to fair value of financial instruments policy).

 

Share based payments

 

The Company follows FASB Codification Topic ASC 718-10 Compensation-Stock Compensation. The Company expenses stock-based compensation to employees and non-employees over the requisite service period based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the awards. The Company determines the grant date fair value of the restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 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 on its historical common stock trading prices. Risk–free interest rates are calculated based on the implied yield available on U. S. 10-year Treasury bond.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

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 recognizeThe Company recognizes 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,includes 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

 

The 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.transferred. At the date of sale, the net book value is expensed in cost of revenues.

 

Net energy benefits

In exchange for powering down the Company’s systems and curtailing power, in response to instances of high electricity demand, the Company receives net energy benefits from the grid. The company also has a contract with Energy Harbor LLC where it can sell back any power not used at the market rate.

Cost of revenues: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:expenses

 

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

 

Income taxes: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: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 and Mawson AU Limited 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.income (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: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.

 

Assets held for sale (NOTE 7)

Assets and liabilities are classified as held-for-sale if it is highly probable they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use. On September 8, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with CleanSpark to sell its Sandersville, Georgia Bitcoin mining facility, along with 6,468 (which number was later reduced to 6,349) miners. This transaction closed on October 8, 2022, therefore all assets and liabilities that were included in this sale have been classified as held for sale. Such assets have been measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. The property and equipment included in this sale ceased being depreciated from September 8, 2022, depreciation which would have been charged for the period from September 9, 2022 to September 30, 2022 would have been $1.0 million.

Digital Currencies

 

Digital currencies are included in current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Digital currencies are 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.

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 Company’s policy is to dispose of production at the earliest opportunity, therefore the holding period is minimal, usually no more than a few days.

The Company records a prepaid expense for costs paid but not yet incurred. Those costs 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.consideration paid. They are subsequently measured at cost, less loss allowance.

 

Reverse Asset Acquisition: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 transactionThe 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 (pre 10-for-1 reverse stock split which occurred on August 11, 2021) under an Incentive Compensation Program and warrants issued to HC Wainwright as a fee related to the acquisition of common stock 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.

 

Concentrations of credit risk:risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and 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 to 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: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 JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the Company is not a party to any litigation that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Leases:Leases

 

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 lease liabilities within current liabilities and long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.sheets. 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.

Overview

 

Mawson is a ‘Digital Asset Infrastructure’ business, which owns and operates (through its subsidiaries) modular data centers (“MDCs”) in the United States and Australia. We are focused onalso developing the technology to enable us to own and better operate MDCs that are both air-cooled and liquid immersion cooled.MDCs.

 

Our primary business is the ownership and operation of Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (“ASIC”) computers known as Miners. We currently operate three sites, with two locations in USA, and a location in Australia, from which we operate our combined business. The Miners are predominately focused on the process of digital mining, specifically for Bitcoin.

 

In exchange for powering down our systems and curtailing the power we get from the grid in response to instances of high electricity demand, we receive net energy benefits. We also have a contract with our energy provider where we can sell back any power not used at the market rate. We have recognized a derivative asset on our balance sheet for the contract we have with our energy provider, which has been measured at fair value with any changes in fair value recognized in our statement of operations.

We offer ‘hosting’ or ‘co-location’ facilities to other businesses in the digital asset infrastructure industry to have their Miners located within our MDCs, whoMDCs. These businesses pay us a fee for the use of our facilities and related services (often based on power consumption).

 

We also sell new and used crypto currency mining, and MDC equipment on a periodic basis, subject to prevailing market conditions for used equipment.and our surplus production capacity.

Prior LO2A Business

 

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

 

Prior to the Cosmos Transaction our main business undertaking was as a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the treatment of ophthalmic disorders, including dry eye syndrome (our “LO2A business”). 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 of CVR and any contingent right holders.the CVRs. Accordingly, we assessed that the fair value of this asset at the acquisition date was $nil.$0. 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.

COVID-19.

 

The COVID-19 global pandemic has been unpredictable and unprecedented and is likely to continuecontinues 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 arecontinue to actively monitoring thismonitor the 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 August 22, 2022, the Australian Government announced that it planned to start consultation with stakeholders on a framework for industry and regulators, which allowed consumers to participate in the market while also better protecting them. The first step would be “token mapping” to help identify how crypto assets and related services should be regulated.

On September 16, 2022 the U.S. Government released a Fact Sheet which noted that the President of the United States of America has received 9 reports from various stakeholders across government, industry, academia and civil society in response to the Executive Order issued on March 9, 2022, President Biden issued an executive order that identifiedwhich together creates a framework for action on cryptocurrencies, with the following objectives for future regulation of digital assets in the United States: (1) protect consumers, investors, and businesses, (2) protect financial stability, (3)intention to promote innovation, but 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.downside risks.

 

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.

The increase in net cash used in investing activities during September 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to the increase in the acquisition of cryptocurrency mining equipment.

 

For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was $19,513,738$26,240,336 and $21,250,788,$86,026,426, respectively. The cash provided by financing activities during JuneSeptember 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to proceeds from borrowings.

Financial condition

As at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had net current liabilities of $24.69 million and $8.63 million respectively. As at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had net assets of $92.77 million and $176.01 million respectively. As at September 30, 2022 we had an accumulated deficit of $103.81 million compared to $71.12 million as at December 31, 2021. Our cash position at September 30, 2022, was $1.18 million in comparison to $5.47 million at December 31, 2022. For the nine month period ending September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 the Company incurred a loss after tax of $34.32 million and a loss after tax of $47.26 million respectively.

 


 

 

Financial condition

As at June 30, 2022 had net current liabilities of $55.96 million and had an accumulated deficit of $82.95 million. The Company’s cash position at June 30, 2022, was $2.49 million. For the six month period ending June 30, 2022, the Company incurred a loss after tax of $13.98 million.

Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are working capital, capital expenditures, public company costs and general corporate needs. We expect these needs to continue as we further develop and grow our business. Our principal sources of liquidity have been and are expected to be our cash and cash equivalents, external debt facilities available to us and further issuances of shares. In addition, Mawson has an active At The Market (ATM) available for sale of shares of Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million. These are expected to be adequate to fund our operations over the next twelve months.

In the event that we require additional capital to respond to competitive pressure, market dynamics, new technologies, customer demands, business opportunities, challenges, acquisitions or unforeseen circumstances in either the short-term or long-term, we may determine to engage in equity or debt financings or enter into credit facilities for other reasons. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to grow or support our business model and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited. In particular, the widespread COVID-19 pandemic, including rising inflation and interest rates, and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine have resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption and volatility in the global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital. If we are unable to raise additional funds when or on the terms desired, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

In relation to the Purchase and Sale Agreement and the Equipment Purchase and Sale Agreement with CleanSpark, the Company received in total $22.52 million in cash and 1,590,175 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share of CleanSpark during October 2022, and is due to receive $6.5 million in Seller financing in the form of promissory notes during December 2022, improving our overall working capital, liquidity and net asset position.

 

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.

Critical accounting estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the 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:

 

Going 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. Please see NOTE 1-GENERAL to the consolidated condensed financial statements in Item 1 of PART I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information about this assumption.

 

Long-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 long-lived assets. Long-lived assets include property and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets. A long-lived asset may be impaired when the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. If that comparison indicates that the asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable, the impairment is measured based on the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the asset.

 

Stock 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.

 


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

  

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 our 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 Annual 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, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial 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 our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

Significant Reliance on Key Individuals. There is inadequate segregation of duties in place related to our financial reporting and 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. In addition, this poses the risk that compliance and other reporting obligations are not adequately dealt with.with in an adequate manner.

 

Controls over the financial statement close and reporting process. Controls were not adequately designed or implemented in the financial statement close and reporting process. This includes controls related to complex and judgmental accounting transactions including business acquisitions and divestures, derivatives, manual journal entries, account reconciliations and financial statement disclosures.

 


Information 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 mining and hosting revenue, net energy benefits, and cryptocurrency assets is complete and accurate.assets.


 

Fixed asset verification. The Company did not properly execute its designed controls around physical asset verification at US mining sites. Together with system limitations, restricting tracking of fixed asset movements, there is a risk around the existence of fixed assets. The root cause is the lack of sufficient capable personnel to perform physical asset inspections, combined with system limitations.

  

Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses and management’s assessment that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of JuneSeptember 30, 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. With the oversight of senior management and our audit committee, we have begun taking stepscontinue 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 first and second quarter ofnine months to September 30, 2022, 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 performed a risk assessment and designed controls for all significant business processes. We have continued implementation of entity level and process level controls with respect to the preparation and review of our consolidated financial statements as well as transactional level controls over all significant business processes and IT. 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 implementing and validating these controls. At this time, we cannot state whether these controls will prove to be effective. Using criteria set forth by Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control, we have developed a plan to assess the effectiveness of the internal control structure and procedures as at the end of the fiscal year.   

  

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.

 


 

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

We are currently not, and have not been in the recent past, a party to any legal proceedings which may have or have had in the recent past significant effects on our financial position or profitability. However, we have been in the past, and may be from time to time in the future, named as a defendant in certain routine litigation incidental to our business.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

The Company’s risk factors were disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In addition, the Company wishes to disclose the following risk factors.

 

Listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”)

 

Although our common stock is currently listed on Nasdaq, we may not be able to continue to meet Nasdaq’s minimum listing requirements or those of any other national exchange. On August 31, 2022 we received written notice from Nasdaq that we were not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirements for continued listing. The Nasdaq Listing Rules allow a period of 180 calendar days, or until February 27, 2023 to regain compliance. We are actively monitoring the closing bid price of our shares, and are considering implementing available options to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirements. On October 24, 2022 we received written notice from Nasdaq that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq’s audit committee requirements for continued listing due to the resignation of one of our directors. The Nasdaq Listing Rules provide a cure period in order to regain compliance as follows: (a) until the earlier of our next annual stockholders’ meeting or September 13, 2023; or (b) if our next annual stockholders’ meeting is held before March 13, 2023, then until March 13, 2023. We have begun the recruitment process to fill the vacancy on the audit committee to regain compliance with the audit committee requirements.

If we are unable to maintain listing on Nasdaq or if a liquid market for our common stock does not develop or is not sustained, our common stock may remain thinly traded. The Listing Rules of Nasdaq require listing issuers to comply with certain standards in order to remain listed on its exchange. If, for any reason, we should fail to maintain compliance with these listing standards and Nasdaq should delist our securities from trading on its exchange and we are unable to obtain listing on another national securities exchange, a reduction in some or all of the following may occur, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our shareholders:

The liquidity of our common stock;

The market price of our common stock;

Our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations;

The number of investors that will consider investing in our common stock;

The number of market makers in our common stock;

The availability of information concerning the trading prices and volume of our common stock; and

The number of broker-dealers willing to execute trades in our common stock.

The Cryptocurrency Industry has recently experienced a downturn

 

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the price of Bitcoin was down by over 50% from the beginning of the year and many businesses in this industry have been impacted by this downturn. The fall in the Bitcoin price directly affects our ability to generate revenue. Further, volatility in energy prices has meant that the major input cost to generate Bitcoin has increased. In July of 2022, Celsius Networks, LLC and Celsius Mining LLC, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Celsius Mining LLC is one of our significant hosting customers and its failure to pay (or pay timely) amounts it owes to us when due could have a material adverse effect on our financial situation.

 

Inflation in the global economy could negatively impact our business and results of operations.

 

General inflation in the United States and around the world has risen to levels not experienced in recent decades. General inflation, including rising prices for energy, metals, components, and other inputs as well as rising wages negatively impact our business by increasing our operating costs. As a result of inflation, we have experienced and may continue to experience, cost increases. Although we may take measures to mitigate the impact of this inflation, if these measures are not effective, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. Even if such measures are effective, there could be a difference between the timing of when these beneficial actions impact our results of operations and when the cost of inflation is incurred.

 

Our business could be harmed by prolonged power and internet outages, shortages, or capacity constraints.outages.

 

Our operations require a significant amount of electrical power and access to high-speed internet to be successful. If we are unable to secure sufficient electrical power, or if we lose, internet access for a prolonged period, we may be required to reduce our operations or cease them altogether. If this occurs, our business and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

 


 

 

Increased Interest Rates

Central banks around the world (including the US Federal Reserves, and the Reserve Bank of Australia) have been increasing their interest rates.  While our current borrowings are at fixed rates of interest, any future borrowings or refinancing may be at higher interest rates than the rates that we have obtained in the past.

Network difficulty

The Bitcoin network hash rate and the network difficulty have in recent times both been at all-time highs.  An increase in the network difficulty means that for the same amount of effort, a Bitcoin miner will receive less reward.  If the network difficulty continues to increase, the amount of Bitcoin we can produce with the equipment that we have at any given point in time, will decrease.

We are subject to risks associated with our need for significant electrical power.

 

Our operations have required significant amounts of electrical power, and, as we continue to expand our mining fleet, we anticipate our demand for electrical power will continue to grow. If we are unable to continue to obtain sufficient electrical power on a cost-effective basis, we may not realize the anticipated benefits of our significant capital investments. If power prices increase or decrease materially this will likely materially impact whether we can generate Bitcoin profitably, and how much net energy benefits we will be entitled to.

 

Additionally, our operations could be materially adversely affected by prolonged power outages. Therefore, we may have to reduce or cease our operations in the event of an extended power outage, or as a result of the unavailability or increased cost of electrical power. If this were to occur, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

 

We may need to raise additional capital to continue our operations and execute our business strategy.

 

We expect that we may incur net losses for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, our ability to continue as a going concern and execute our business strategy depends on our ability to raise additional capital through equity, debt or structured financings, collaborations and strategic alliances or other similar types of arrangements.

 

Our capital needs have depended on, and will continue to depend on, many factors that are highly variable and difficult to predict, including:

 

the rate of growth we choose to pursue;

 
the cost of energy;

 
the cost of key supplies, materials and equipment; and

 
the price of Bitcoin;

 

At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $2.50$1.18 million and our accumulated deficit was approximately $82.95$103. 81 million. We incurred a net loss of approximately $13.98$35.23 million for the six-monthnine month period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022. We may never become profitable. Based on some of our current operating plan estimates, we have sufficient cash to satisfy our working capital needs and other liquidity requirements over the next 12 months from the date of issuance of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. We may need to raise additional capital or significantly curtail our planned operations to remain a going concern.

 

Additional capital may not be available to us, or even if it is, the cost of such capital may be high. We may be forced to obtain additional capital when our stock price or trading volume or both are low, or when the general market for cryptocurrency companies is weak. Raising capital under any of these or similar scenarios, if we can raise any at all, may lead to significant dilution to our existing stockholders.

 

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

 

During the three month period ended June 30, 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: 

On May 3, 2022, the Company issued 5,000 shares of its common stock to a service provider in exchange for $27,150 of services.  The issuance of the common stock was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder because, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering, the investor was an accredited investor, the investor took the securities for investment and not resale and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.None

 

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

 

None

 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 5. Other Information

 

NoneOn November14, 2022 and with effect from November 18, 2022, the Company and Mr Nicholas Hughes-Jones entered into a departure deed. As a result of the departure deed, and due to the evolving needs of the Company and its business, the role of Chief Commercial Officer, a senior executive role with the Company, was eliminated or made redundant. The various ongoing responsibilities of that role will be shared amongst several other roles within the Company, and in some cases may be outsourced. Mr Nicholas Hughes-Jones has performed that role since joining the Company in October 2021. At the same time as the departure deed, an entity controlled by Mr Hughes-Jones has entered into a Transition Services Agreement under which Mr Hughes-Jones will provide market updates and strategic industry insights to the Board and the senior executive group of the Company, as well as assist with the handover of his current responsibilities. The Compensation Committee has determined that Mr Hughes-Jones is a ‘Good Leaver’ for the purposes of all the unvested restricted stock units that he holds (“RSUs”), and as such he will not forfeit any RSUs. As previously announced in October 2021, Mr Hughes-Jones is entitled to a termination payment valued at 3 months’ salary, being AUD162,500. The Transition Services Agreement is valued at AUD240,000 and for a term of at least 6 months, and the terms of this agreement are standard for agreements of this kind. Mr Hughes-Jones will not be eligible for a short-term incentive payment in 2022, despite him having properly performed his duties for the Company for most of the testing period (being calendar year 2022). In consideration of the various benefits being paid to Mr Hughes-Jones, he has provided a broad release to the Company.

 

The CEO and the Board is very grateful to Mr Hughes-Jones for his efforts and expertise during his tenure at the Company and wishes him all the best in his future endeavors.
