NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
(In thousands of U.S. dollars, except for data relating to quantity of PPE, shares, warrants and digital assets) |
NOTE 1: REPORTING ENTITY, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND LIQUIDITY
a. | Bitfarms was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporation Act on October 11, 2018. The interim condensed financial statements of the corporation comprise the accounts of Bitfarms Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Company” or “Bitfarms”). The activities of the Company are divided into two reportable segments: the cryptocurrency mining segment (referred to as “Backbone”) and the electrical services segment (referred to as “Volta”), as described in Note 15 “Reportable segments”. The Company’s operations are predominantly in Canada, with construction of new facilities having commenced in Argentina and Paraguay. |
Bitfarms is primarily engaged in the cryptocurrency mining industry, a highly volatile market with significant inherent risk. A significant decline in the market prices of cryptocurrencies, an increase in the difficulty of cryptocurrency mining, changes in the regulatory environment and adverse changes in other inherent risks can significantly and negatively impact the Company’s operations and its ability to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its commitments as described in Note 6. In addition, adverse changes to the factors mentioned above may impact the recoverability of the Company’s digital assets and property, plant and equipment, resulting in impairment charges being recorded.
The common shares of the Company are listed under the trading symbol BITF on Nasdaq and on the TSX Venture Exchange.
b. | These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. |
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on November 12, 2021.
c. | In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The potential impacts that COVID-19 may have on the Backbone operating segment include increases in cryptocurrency price volatility and delays in receiving future orders of mining hardware and construction materials required to achieve the Company’s growth objectives. The Backbone operating segment has been, and is expected to, continue to be operating throughout the pandemic. Volta’s services are considered to be essential by government authorities and have been, and are expected to continue to be, operating throughout the pandemic. No significant impact of COVID-19 has been observed on Backbone or Volta’s existing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021; however; the Company has observed longer than usual lead times and higher price fluctuations than usual in procuring construction materials required for the Company’s infrastructure buildout. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments as well as their impact on the financial results and condition of the Company and its operating subsidiaries in future periods. |

b. | Impairment reversal and assets held for sale During the year-ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded an impairment loss on its cryptocurrency mining cash generating unit (CGU) which resulted in $16,454 of impairment being allocated to BVVE and electrical components and leasehold improvements due to a significant decline in the Bitcoin market price. As of September 30, 2021, the Company assessed whether there was an indication that the impairment loss recognized in 2018 may no longer exist or may have decreased, and concluded that there were observable indications that the CGU’s value had increased during the period. As a result, the Company’s management estimated the recoverable amount of the CGU, using a value in use calculation based on the present value of the expected cash flows over the estimated remaining useful life of the previously impaired CGU assets of approximately 1.5 years. Based on management’s calculations, an impairment reversal of $970, relating to the CGU, was recognized during the period. The increased carrying amount of the CGU assets reflects the carrying amount of the CGU assets that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized in 2018. |

NOTE 5: PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (Cont.)
Mining assets outside of Quebec and Antminer S9 miners were not included in the CGU for the purposes of the impairment reversal calculation. The Company has ceased using the Antminer S9 miners, and has plans to dispose of them within the next 12 months. Management has determined that the Antminer S9 miners meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale, and determined that the carrying amount, including the impairment recognized in 2018, was less than the estimated fair value less costs to sell. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment reversal of $890 relating to the impaired Antminer S9 miners held for sale, reflecting the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized in 2018. The total impairment reversal recognized during the period, relating to the CGU assets and the assets held for sale totaled $1,860. The key assumptions used in the value in use calculation are as follows:
Revenues – Two optimistic and two pessimistic and one status quo scenario, each with estimated future bitcoin price and network difficulty, were used to project revenues from cryptocurrency mining. Management assigned probabilities to each scenario to calculate weighted average expected outcomes. The weighted average daily revenue per Terahash used in the value in use calculation was $0.22/Terahash.
Discount rate – the discount rate reflects management’s assumptions regarding the unit’s specific risk. The discount rate used was estimated at 18.3%, with some of the risk already being implicitly reflected through management’s allocation of probabilities to the various scenarios included in the revenue calculation.
Energy prices – management estimated that energy prices would remain constant for the duration of the forecasted years at $0.04 per kilowatt hour, in Quebec.
Terminal value – management estimated the terminal value of the miners included in the CGU for the purposes of the impairment reversal to be the daily revenue per Terahash in effect at the end of the value in use calculation multiplied by the ending hashrate, multiplied by 180 days.

The Company has deposits on BVVE in the amount of $75,046, mainly for outstanding orders placed consisting of 5,100 Antminer and 48,000 Whatsminer miners with expected delivery in late 2021 and 2022. The Company is exposed to counterparty risk through the significant deposits it places with suppliers of mining hardware to secure orders and delivery dates. The risk of a supplier failing to meet its contractual obligations may result in late deliveries or long-term deposits and equipment prepayments that are not realized. The Company attempts to mitigate this risk procuring mining hardware from the larger more established suppliers and with whom the company has existing relationships and knowledge of their reputation in the market. The Company’s remaining payment obligation in connections with the 48,000-unit purchase agreement described above are outline below:

The Company will require additional sources of financing to meet the payment obligations included in the table above. If the Company were unable to obtain such financing, or the Bitcoin price and network difficulty were adversely impacted, then the Company may have difficulty meeting its payment obligations. If the Company were unable to meet its payment obligations, there could result in the loss of equipment prepayments and deposits paid by the Company under the purchase agreement and remedial legal measures taken against the Company which may include damages and forced continuance of the contractual arrangement. Under these circumstances, the Company’s growth plans and ongoing operations could be adversely impacted.

On March 15, 2019, the Group entered into a secured debt financing facility for up to $20,000 with Dominion Capital LLC (the Lender). The debt facility was structured into four separate loan tranches of $5,000 per tranche. Each loan tranche bore interest at 10% per annum and the term of each loan tranche was 24 months with a balloon payment for any remaining outstanding balance at the end of the term. A monthly payment equivalent to 10% of the value of cryptocurrencies mined by Backbone during the month was required in repayment of the total loan tranches drawn. The loan contained a “make-whole” clause which stipulated that the 10% interest rate was calculated on the initial principal balance of the loan tranche and did not decrease as the principal balance was repaid.

NOTE 8: LONG-TERM DEBT (Cont.)
The 10% interest rate was calculated over the 24-month term of each loan tranche regardless of whether the loan tranche was repaid prior to its maturity. Any unpaid interest at the time of the loan tranche’s early repayment was included in the balloon payment. The loan features resulted in a loan liability measured at amortized cost, a warrant component recorded as equity, a warrant component recorded as a liability measured at fair value through profit or loss, and an embedded derivative measured at fair value through profit or loss described below.
In September 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Dominion Capital to amend the maturity date of tranche #2 from April 2021 to November 2021. The 10% make-whole clause described below remained in effect for the 6 month extension of the second loan tranche. In addition, a conversion feature was added to tranche #3, maturing in June 2021, providing Dominion Capital with the option to convert all or a portion of the loan tranche into shares at a price of $0.59 USD per share. The conversion feature was exercisable by Dominion Capital at any time until the loan’s maturity date in June 2021. In January 2021, Dominion Capital exercised their option to convert $5,000 of debt into 8,474,577 Common Shares. In February 2021, the Company repaid the remaining debt obligation in its entirety.
Loan liability
The loan liability was initially measured as the residual amount of the proceeds received, net of transaction costs and the fair value of the warrant issuance. The loan was then measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Management used significant judgement and estimates when determining the effective interest rate. Payment amounts were determined as 10% of the cryptocurrency mined by Backbone. In order to calculate the effective interest rate, management estimated Backbone’s future cryptocurrency mining revenues in order to estimate the timing and amount of future loan repayments. Upon inception of each loan tranche, the effective interest rates were determined to be 26.93%, 30.16%, 37.10 % and 38.02% for the first, second, third and fourth tranches, respectively. Included in financial expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are nil and $472 (three and nine months ended September 30 2020 $1,459 and $3,946, respectively) of interest expense related to the loan.
Warrant issuance
Bitfarms Ltd. also issued 1,666,667 Lender warrants, which vested upon issuance, to acquire 1,666,667 shares of Bitfarms Ltd. for each loan tranche drawn with an exercise price of $0.40 USD per share and an expiration date of five years. As a result, an aggregate of 6,666,668 Lender warrants to acquire 6,666,668 shares have been issued, of which 1,250,000 were exercised as of December 31, 2020. The remaining 5,416,668 warrants were exercised in January and February 2021 resulting in the issuance of 5,251,223 common shares for proceeds of approximately $1,500, see Note 11. The warrant exercises described above include the cashless exercise of 1,666,667 warrants resulting in the issuance of 1,501,222 common shares. In addition to the loan modifications described above, a cashless exercise feature was authorized for the warrants issued in connection with Tranche #2 and Tranche #3, which resulted in these warrants being reclassified from equity to a warrant liability measured at fair value through profit or loss.

NOTE 8: LONG-TERM DEBT (Cont.)
The Black Scholes model and the inputs described in Note 11 were used in determining the values of the warrants prior to their derecognition which resulted in a non-cash loss on revaluation of warrants for the nine months ended of $2,466 included in net financial expenses (nine months ended September 30, 2020 - $nil)
Embedded derivative
The value of the “make-whole” clause described above would vary based on management’s projections of the timing of the loan repayment, which are based on Backbone’s cryptocurrency mining revenues. This interest feature has been accounted for as an embedded derivative that is measured at fair value through profit or loss. The early repayment of the loan resulted in the company recording a loss on embedded derivative for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, of $2,641 included in net financial expenses (nine months ended September 30, 2020 gain of $506 and $626, respectively). See Note 14b.
In April and May 2021, the Company entered into four loan agreements for the acquisition of 2,465 Whatsminer miners “Foundry Loans #1, #2, #3 and #4”. Foundry loans #3 and #4, with a combined loan amount of $3,287, commenced in October and November 2021, concurrent with the delivery of the remaining 700 Whatsminers miners described above with an 18 month loan term.
In May 2021, the Company modified the terms of three lease agreements with its lender, Blockfills, for 4,000 Whatsminer miners to convert them to loan agreements. The key terms, such as interest rates, term and payment schedule remain unchanged. A total of $3,904 was reclassified from lease liabilities to long-term debt as a result of the modification. The right-of-use assets related to the three leases were classified in property, plant and equipment and as a result no reclassification was made. Details of the equipment financing and the balance of the loans and the net book value (NBV) of their related collateral, as of September 30, 2021, are as follows:

NOTE 11: SHARE CAPITAL (Cont.)
In August 2021, 5,404,625 warrants related to the private placement closed on February 7, 2021, were exercised resulting in the issuance of 5,404,625 common shares for proceeds of approximately $16,268.
In total, 20,736,558 warrants relating to the private placements have been exercised resulting in the issuance of 20,736,558 common shares for proceeds of $55,178.
The warrants issued in connection with the private placement closed on January 7, 2021 had a strike price denominated in Canadian dollars, which is different from the Company’s functional currency of the U.S. dollar. As a result, fluctuations in the Canadian to U.S. dollar exchange rate could result in the Company receiving a variable amount of cash in its functional currency in exchange for the exercise of warrants and issuance of shares. The possibility of variation in the settlement price in the Company’s functional currency results in the warrants being classified as a liability that is measured at fair value through profit or loss. This accounting treatment does not apply to the broker warrants issued in Canadian dollars as warrants issued in exchange for goods or services are generally accounted for as equity with no remeasurement required.
The Black Scholes model and the inputs below were used in determining the values of the warrants prior to their derecognition which resulted in a non-cash loss on revaluation of warrants of $17,058 included in net financial expenses.

NOTE 17: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Washington Acquisition
On November 9, 2021, the Company acquired a cryptocurrency mining facility in Washington state, comprising land, buildings, electrical infrastructure, and 24 megawatt power purchase agreements with a local hydro- electric utility producer. The consideration transferred was $26,676, including $23,000 of cash consideration and 414,475 Common shares with a value of $3,676 on the closing date. The seller entered into a consulting agreement with the Company in the amount of $2,000 for services relating to the operation of the facility. The Company also entered into a one-year lease agreement with the seller for a separate facility with monthly payments of $100.
The primary reason for the acquisition was to expand the Company’s energy portfolio with existing infrastructure to accommodate the Company’s expected delivery schedule of mining equipment.
The accounting for this acquisition has not been finalized and certain disclosures have not been included due to the timing of the acquisition.
At-The-Market Equity Program
During the period from October 1, 2021, to November 12, 2021, the Company issued 12,365,225 common shares in exchange for gross proceeds of $74,887 at an average share price of approximately 6.06 USD.
