SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Presentation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements In the opinion of Greenidge management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results for the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future interim period. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for complete financial statements. The Company has reflected the operations of its Support.com business as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 3, “ Discontinued Operations ” for further information. Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures throughout these notes to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements relate solely to continuing operations and exclude all discontinued operations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements of the Company in its 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Going Concern In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern, the Greenidge's management evaluated whether there are conditions or events that pose risk associated with the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these financial statements have been issued. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern. The Company has historically incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The halving of bitcoin, which occurred April 19, 2024, may have an adverse effect on the Company’s projected future cash flows. The fixed costs to operate the business including, but not limited to, insurance, overhead and capital expenditures, as well as the variable input costs to operate the Company’s datacenters, has a material impact on the Company’s continuing operations and ability to generate positive cash flows. While the market has improved in 2023 and 2024, the Company continues to have to address the possibility of negative impacts of the price of bitcoin and natural gas as these have proven to be volatile markets. As a result, management took certain actions during 2023 to improve the Company's liquidity that are described further below. At March 31, 2024, the Company had $14.3 million of cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents and other current assets of $16.5 million, while having $6.9 million of accounts payable and accrued expenses, emissions liability of $12.3 million, current liabilities held for sale of $0.3 million, other short-term liabilities of $0.2 million, and an estimated $0.7 million of environmental liability spend in the next 12 months, which results in ending working capital of $10.6 million. Additionally, the Company has $6.1 million of interest payments due over the next twelve months. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. In an effort to improve liquidity, the Company has completed or is in the process of completing the following transactions: • In September 2022, Greenidge entered into an at-the-market issuance sales agreement, as amended, dated as of September 19, 2022, by and among the Company, B. Riley Securities, Inc. (“B. Riley Securities”) and Northland Securities, Inc., relating to shares of Greenidge’s Class A common stock (the "ATM Agreement"), and since October 23, 2022 through May 13, 2024, have received net proceeds of $20.7 million from sales of Class A common stock under the ATM Agreement. See Note 9, "Stockholder's Deficit", for further details. • On January 30, 2023, the Company entered into debt restructuring agreements with NYDIG ABL LLC ("NYDIG") and B. Riley Commercial Capital, LLC ("B. Riley Commercial"). The restructuring of the NYDIG debt improved the Company's liquidity during 2023 as the payments required in 2023 on the remaining principal balance was interest payments of $2.0 million. This reduced debt service is substantially lower than the $62.7 million of principal and interest payments which would have been required in 2023 pursuant to the 2021 and 2022 Master Equipment Finance Agreements, both of which were refinanced in January 2023. See Note 5, "Debt" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed April 10, 2024, for further details regarding the debt restructuring agreements. • In conjunction with the restructuring of the debt with NYDIG, the Company also entered into hosting agreements with NYDIG on January 30, 2023 (the “NYDIG Hosting Agreements”), which improved its liquidity position, as it provided for cost reimbursements for key input costs, while allowing the Company to participate in the upside should bitcoin prices rise. • On November 9, 2023, the Company closed the sale of the South Carolina Facility to complete the deleveraging transaction with NYDIG. In exchange for the sale to NYDIG of the upgraded 44 MW South Carolina mining facilities and the subdivided real estate of approximately 22 acres of land, the Company received total consideration of $28 million, as follows: ◦ The Senior Secured Loan with NYDIG with remaining principal of $17.7 million was extinguished; ◦ The B. Riley Commercial Secured Promissory Note with remaining principal of $4.1 million, which NYDIG purchased from B. Riley Commercial on July 20, 2023 at par was extinguished; ◦ A cash payment of approximately $4.5 million, and ◦ The Company also received bonus payments earned of approximately $1.6 million as a result of the completion of the expansion of the upgraded mining facility and the facility's uptime performance. The Company recognized a gain on the sale of the South Carolina Facility of $8.2 million. In conjunction with the sale, the Company and NYDIG terminated the South Carolina Hosting Order. The NYDIG Hosting Agreement related to the New York Facility was not impacted by this transaction and remains in place. Following the completion of the South Carolina Facility sale, the Company continues to own approximately 153 acres of land in South Carolina, and is assessing potential uses of the remaining site, which may include the sale of the property. • In addition, the Company sold equipment, coupons and certain environmental credits for total proceeds of $11.7 million from the second quarter of 2022 through the first quarter of 2023 to raise additional funds. • Since entering into the NYDIG Hosting Agreements, the Company has identified opportunities to deploy its company-owned miners. In March 2023, the Company entered into a hosting agreement with Conifex Timber Inc. ("Conifex"), whereby Conifex will provide hosting services to Greenidge utilizing renewable power (the “Conifex Hosting Agreement”). In April 2023, the Company entered into a hosting agreement with Core Scientific, Inc. ("Core") in which Core will host and operate Greenidge-owned bitcoin miners at its facilities (the “Core Hosting Agreement”, and together with the NYDIG Hosting Agreements and the Conifex Hosting Agreement, the “Hosting Agreements”). • On April 10, 2024, we closed on the purchase a parcel of land containing approximately 12 acres located in Columbus, Mississippi, including over 73,000 square feet of industrial warehouse space. We intend to deploy 7 MW of miners on the property in the second quarter of 2024. We have also deployed additional miners in conjunction with a 7.5 MW mining capacity lease in North Dakota, which has a term of five years and provides us with energy to power mining. The Company believes the addition of these datacenters will improve the Company’s profits and liquidity during the remainder of 2024 and beyond. • On February 12, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. (“Armistice”). Pursuant to the SPA, Armistice purchased shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and a pre-funded Class A common stock purchase warrant entitling them to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. In addition, the Company issued to Armistice a Class A common stock purchase warrant entitling Armistice, commencing on August 14, 2024, to acquire additional shares of the Company’s Class A common stock from time to time. The SPA resulted in net proceeds of $6.0 million. See Note 9, "Stockholders' Deficit", for further details. • On September 15, 2021, as amended on April 7, 2022, Greenidge entered into the Equity Purchase Agreement with B. Riley Principal. Pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, Greenidge has the right to sell to B. Riley up to $500 million in shares of its Class A common stock, subject to certain limitations and the satisfaction of specified conditions in the Equity Purchase Agreement, from time to time over the 24-month period commencing on April 28, 2022. From the Effective Date to March 31, 2024, The Company has received aggregate proceeds of $8.0 million, net of discounts, of which $0.3 million were received during the three months ended March 31, 2024. See Note 9, "Stockholders' Deficit", for further details. Despite these improvements to the Company's financial condition, Greenidge management expects that it will require additional capital in order to fund the Company’s expenses and to support the Company’s near-term working capital needs and remaining debt servicing requirements. Management continues to assess different options to improve its liquidity which include, but are not limited to: • issuances of equity, including but not limited to issuances under the Equity Purchase Agreement and/or the ATM Agreement. • a sale of the Company's remaining real estate in South Carolina and/or sale of the remaining miner infrastructure equipment inventory, which was not used in the South Carolina expansion. The Company estimates that substantially all of its cash resources will be depleted by the end of the first quarter of 2025. The Company's estimate of cash resources available to the Company for the next 12 months is dependent on completion of certain actions, including obtaining additional short-term outside financing, executing on certain investing transactions; as well as bitcoin prices and blockchain difficulty levels similar to those existing as of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and energy prices similar to the those experienced in the first quarter of 2024. While bitcoin prices have begun to recover during 2023 and the first quarter of 2024 from the significant declines experienced in 2022, management cannot predict when or if bitcoin prices will recover to sufficient levels for a sustained period of time in light of the halving that occurred in April 2024, or the volatility of energy costs. While the Company continues to work to implement options to improve liquidity, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful and the Company's liquidity could be negatively impacted by factors outside of its control, in particular, significant decreases in the price of bitcoin, our inability to procure and comply with the permits and licenses required to operate our facilities, including the Title V Air Permit for the New York Facility, or the cost to us of such procurement or compliance, regulatory changes concerning cryptocurrency, increases in energy costs or other macroeconomic conditions and other matters identified in Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Given this uncertainty regarding the Company's financial condition over the next 12 months from the date these financial statements were issued, the Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. Significant Accounting Policies The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Company's consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies, except as described herein, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Revenue Recognition Cryptocurrency Mining Revenue Greenidge has entered into digital asset mining pools by executing contracts with the mining pool operators to perform hash computations for a mining pool. The contracts are terminable at any time at no cost by either party and Greenidge’s enforceable right to compensation begins only when, and lasts as long as, Greenidge performs hash computations for the mining pool operator. In exchange for performing hash computations, Greenidge is entitled to a fractional share of the cryptocurrency award the mining pool operator theoretically receives less the mining pool fees. The agreements entered into with the pool operators pay out based on a Full-Pay-Per-Share (“FPPS”) payout formula, which is a conceptual formula that entitles Greenidge to consideration upon the provision of hash computations to the pool even if a block is not successfully placed by the pool operator. Revenue is measured as the value of the consideration received in the form of cryptocurrency from the pool operator, less the mining pool fees retained by the mining pool operator. Greenidge does not expect any material future changes in mining pool fee rates. In exchange for performing hash computations for the mining pool, the Company is entitled to a fractional share of the cryptocurrency award the mining pool operator theoretically receives (less pool operator fees to the mining pool operator which are netted as a reduction of the transaction price). Greenidge’s fractional share is based on the proportion of hash computations the Company performed for the mining pool operator to the total hash computations contributed by all miners in solving the current algorithm during the 24-hour period. Daily earnings calculated under the FPPS payout formula are calculated from midnight-to-midnight UTC time and are credited to pool members’ accounts at 1:00:00 A.M. UTC. The pool sends Greenidge’s cryptocurrency balance in the account to a digital wallet designated by the Company between 9:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. UTC time each day, which Greenidge automatically sells for cash within minutes of receipt. The service of performing hash computations for the mining pool operators is an output of Greenidge’s ordinary activities and is the only performance obligation in Greenidge’s contracts with mining pool operators. The cryptocurrency that Greenidge receives as transaction consideration is noncash consideration, which Greenidge measures at fair value on the contract inception date at 0:00:00 UTC on the start date of the contract. The duration of each contract is 24 hours or less and provides the same rate of payment upon renewal. Since the pricing remains the same upon contract renewal, the contract does not provide the applicable mining pool operator with a material right that represents a separate performance obligation. The fair value is based on Greenidge’s primary exchange of the related cryptocurrency which is considered to be Coinbase. The consideration Greenidge earns is variable since it is based on the amount of hash computations provided by both Greenidge and the bitcoin network as a whole. The Company does not constrain this variable consideration because it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of revenue recognized from the contract will not occur when the uncertainty is subsequently resolved and recognizes the non-cash consideration on the same day that control is transferred, which is the same day as contract inception. Engineering Procurement and Construction Management ("EPCM") Revenue The Company has entered into contracts with customers to perform engineering procurement and construction management services for customers developing cryptocurrency mining facilities. The services defined in the contracts are generally separated into phases, being 1) engineering 2) construction and 3) procurement. While the services discussed above are capable of being distinct and separately identifiable, the Company concluded that the services provided are inputs to produce the combined output to the customer, which is the completed site buildout. Further, the services provided are significantly modified by the other services in the contract. As such, while the performance obligations may be capable of being distinct, they are not distinct in the context of the contract and therefore the promises in the contract are combined into one single performance obligation. The Company recognizes EPCM revenue over time, as performance obligations are satisfied, due to the continuous transfer of control to the customer. The Company utilizes the percentage-of-completion method, based primarily on contract cost incurred to date compared to total estimated contract cost. The percentage-of-completion method, and input method, is used as management considers it to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. To the extent a contract is cancelled, the Company assesses whether there are any remaining goods or services to be provided after cancellation. If there are any remaining goods or services to be provided, the Company follows the guidance under ASC 606 for contract modifications. If there are no remaining goods or services to be provided, the Company considers whether consideration received is refundable or nonrefundable. To the extent consideration received is refundable, the Company recognizes a refund liability, otherwise, it recognizes revenue for the consideration received. Recent Accounting Pronouncements, Not Yet Adopted In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07 expands public entities' segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition of other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment's profit or loss and assets. This guidance becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and is required to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-08, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets ("ASU 2023-08"), which is intended to improve the accounting for and disclosure of crypto assets. ASU 2023-08 requires entities that hold assets that meet certain criteria to measure those assets at fair value with changes recognized in net income each reporting period. The guidance also requires entities to (1) present crypto assets separately from other intangible assets in its balance sheet and (2) changes from remeasurement of crypto assets separately from changes in the carrying amounts of other intangible assets in the income statement. Additionally, the guidance requires entities to disclose in their annual and interim reports certain information of each significant crypto asset and in their annual interim report, a rollforward of activity during the reporting period, differences between disposal price and cost basis for dispositions, gain and losses to the extent they are not presented separately and the entity's method for determining the cost basis. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure . ASU 2023-09 mostly requires, on an annual basis, disclosure of specific categories in an entity's effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The incremental disclosures may be presented on a prospective or retrospective basis. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. Recent Accounting Pronouncements, Adopted There were not any recently adopted or newly issued accounting pronouncements, that have had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures. |
