Revenue recognition
The Group records revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”) as follows:
| ● | Step 1: Identify the contract with a customer; |
| ● | Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
| ● | Step 3: Determine the transaction price, which is the total consideration provided by the customer; |
| ● | Step 4: Allocate the transaction price among the performance obligations in the contract based on their relative fair values; and |
| ● | Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the Group satisfies a performance obligation. |
Bitcoin mining revenue
The Group operates data center infrastructure supporting the verification and validation of Bitcoin blockchain transactions in exchange for Bitcoin, referred to as “Bitcoin mining”. The Company has entered into arrangements with mining pools, whereby computing power is directed to the mining pools in exchange for non-cash consideration in the form of Bitcoin. The provision of computing power is the only performance obligation in the contract with the mining pool operators.
The Company has the right to decide the point in time and duration for which it will provide hash computation services to the mining pools. The contracts are terminable at any time by either party without substantive compensation to the other party for such termination. Upon termination, the mining pool operator (i.e., the customer) is required to pay the Company any amount due related to previously satisfied performance obligations. Therefore, the Company has determined that the duration of the contract is less than 24 hours and that the contract continuously renews throughout the day.
In the mining pools which the Company participated in during the periods, the Company is not directly exposed to the pool’s success in mining blocks. The Company is rewarded in Bitcoin for the hashrate it contributes to these mining pools. The reward for the hashrate contributed by the Company is based on the current network difficulty and global daily revenues from transaction fees, less mining pool fees.
The fair value of the non-cash consideration is determined using the quantity of Bitcoin received multiplied by the spot price of the Bitcoin price at the end of the day at the website of Kraken, the trading platform over which we exchange the Bitcoin we have mined (“Kraken”).
Management considers the prices quoted on Kraken to be a Level 1 input under IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement. The Group did not hold any Bitcoin on hand as at 31 March 2024 (31 March 2023: Nil).
AI Cloud Services revenue
The Group generates AI Cloud Services revenue through the provision of AI Cloud Services to clients. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for services, net of discounts and sales taxes. The steps involved in recognising AI Cloud Services revenue are set out as follows:
The Group generates AI Cloud Services revenue through the provision of AI Cloud Services to clients. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for services, net of discounts and sales taxes. The steps involved in recognising AI Cloud Services revenue are set out as follows:
| ● | AI Cloud Services revenue is recognized as service revenue rateably over the enforceable term of individual contracts which is typically the stated term. The Company satisfies its performance obligation as these services are provided over time. This method best represents the transfer of services. |
| ● | Transaction price is determined as the list price of services (net of discounts) that the Company delivers to its customers, considering the term of each individual contract, and the ability to enforce and collect the consideration. |
| ● | Usage revenue (overage and consumption-based services) is recorded as AI Cloud Services revenue in the month the usage is incurred/service is consumed by the customer, based on a fixed agreed upon amount per unit consumed. |

Going concern
The Group has determined there is material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern but has concluded it is appropriate to prepare the consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis which contemplates continuity of normal business activities, the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The operating cash flows generated by the Group are inherently linked to several key uncertainties and risks including, but not limited to, volatility associated with the economics of Bitcoin mining and the ability of the Group to execute its business plan.
For the nine-month period ended 31 March 2024, the Group incurred a loss after tax of $1,889,000 (31 March 2023: $164,947,000) and net operating cash inflows of $47,889,000 (31 March 2023: outflows of $998,000). As at 31 March 2024, the Group had net current assets of $268,693,000 (30 June 2023: net current assets of $65,229,000) and net assets of $677,240,000 (30 June 2023: net assets of $305,361,000).
As further background, the Group owns mining hardware that is designed specifically to mine Bitcoin and its future success will depend in a large part upon the value of Bitcoin, and any sustained decline in its value could adversely affect the business and results of operations. Specifically, the revenues from Bitcoin mining operations are predominantly based upon two factors: (i) the number of Bitcoin rewards that are successfully mined and (ii) the value of Bitcoin. A decline in the market price of Bitcoin, increases in the difficulty of Bitcoin mining including the halving event which occurred in April 2024, changes in the regulatory environment, and/or adverse changes in other inherent risks may significantly negatively impact the Group’s operations. Due to the volatility of the Bitcoin price and the effects of the other aforementioned factors, there can be no guarantee that future mining operations will be profitable, or the Group will be able to raise capital to meet growth objectives.
The strategy to mitigate these risks and uncertainties is to try to execute a business plan aimed at operational efficiency, revenue growth, improving overall mining profit, managing operating expenses and working capital requirements, maintaining potential capital expenditure optionality, and securing additional financing, as needed, through one or more debt and/or equity capital raisings.
Our growth and risk mitigation strategies include pursuing a strategy to diversify our revenue streams into new markets. This includes the expansion into the provision of AI Cloud Services. The Group signed a contract with an initial AI Cloud Services client and commenced revenue generating operations during the three months ended 31 March 2024.
The continuing viability of the Group and its ability to continue as a going concern and meet its debts and commitments as they fall due are therefore significantly dependent upon several factors. These factors have been considered in preparing a cash flow forecast over the next 12 months to consider the going concern of the Group. The key assumptions include:
| ● | A base case scenario assuming recent Bitcoin economics, with reduction in block rewards following the halving event which occurred in April 2024; |
| ● | Three operational sites in British Columbia, Canada with installed nameplate capacity of 160MW; 80MW Mackenzie, 50MW Prince George and 30MW Canal Flats; |
| ● | A fourth operational site at Childress, Texas with installed nameplate capacity of 85MW as at 6 May 2024 incrementally increasing to 350 MW by 31 December 2024; |
| ● | Securing additional financing as required to achieve the Group’s growths objectives. |
The key assumptions have been stress tested using a range of Bitcoin price and global hashrate scenarios including with respect to the halving event that occurred in April 2024. The Group aims to maintain a degree of flexibility in both operating and capital expenditure cash flow management where it practicably makes sense, including ongoing internal cash flow monitoring and projection analysis performed to identify potential liquidity risks arising and to try to respond accordingly.
As a result, the Group has concluded there is material uncertainty related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Group considers that it will be successful in the above matters and will have adequate cash reserves to enable it to meet its obligations for at least one year from the date of approval of the consolidated financial statements, and, accordingly, has prepared the consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Group has adopted all of the new or amended IFRS and Interpretations as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. The Group believes that the impact of recently issued standards or amendments to existing standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Group’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

Power Supply Agreement
A subsidiary of the Company (“the Subsidiary”) entered into a Power Supply Agreement ("PSA") for the procurement of electricity at the Childress site.
Under the PSA, the Subsidiary has the right to purchase a fixed quantity of electricity in advance at a fixed price however, the Subsidiary has no obligation to take physical delivery of electricity purchased. For any unused electricity purchased, the Subsidiary sells the unused electricity to the counterparty of the PSA at the prevailing spot price at the time of curtailment.
As the PSA meets the definition of a financial instrument under IAS 32, it is accounted for as a financial asset at fair value through Profit and Loss under IFRS 9.
Accordingly, the PSA is recorded at an estimated fair value each reporting period with the change in the fair value recorded in change in fair value of financial asset in the consolidated statements of operations.
As at 31 March 2024, the financial asset comprises the fair value of unused electricity purchased for the forward period to 31 May 2024.
On settlement, a realized gain or loss on a financial asset is recognised in profit or loss. The gain or loss is calculated based on the unused quantity of electricity multiplied by prevailing spot price at the time of curtailment less the price paid upon prepayment (fixed costs). For the nine and three month periods ended 31 March 2024, the realised gain was $3.2m (2023: nil) and $0.1m (2023: nil) respectively.

Non-Refundable Sales Tax
The Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) is currently conducting an audit of input tax credits (“ITCs”) claimed by several of the Group’s Canadian subsidiaries. The CRA has issued an assessment in relation to one of the subsidiaries which, the Directors believe may be applied across the Group’s Canadian subsidiaries. Under the proposed decision, the CRA has noted that ITCs claimed by the Group would be allowed. However, the Canadian subsidiaries would also be required to remit an amount of 5% on services exported to the Australian parent under an intercompany service agreement. The export of services typically attracts a 0% rate of GST in Canada. If GST were to apply to these services at a rate of 5%, the Australian parent may not be permitted to recover this tax.
The Group has submitted additional information to the CRA to further support the ITCs claimed and the 0% rate applied to the exported services and submitted a formal notice of objection to the CRA in November 2022. The CRA has acknowledged receipt of the appeal application and further correspondence was received from the CRA in April 2024. The Group is currently reviewing this correspondence and will respond accordingly.
Recent amendments made to Canadian Tax legislation in June 2023 are being considered by the relevant subsidiaries and the CRA. In March 2024, the CRA issued interpretation guidance on the new legislation and in light of this the relevant subsidiaries submitted additional requests to the CRA to further support its entitlement to claim the ITCs. The affected subsidiaries continue to accrue a provision in line with the aforementioned methodology.
