Item 1.Business.

We are in the early stages of implementing our plan for the construction and operation of clean-energy-powered data centers to lease to large enterprise information technology (IT) customers that are creating or addressing the growing demand for AI, Cloud and High-Performance Computing (HPC) digital services. Data centers are highly-specialized and secure buildings that house networking, storage and communications technology infrastructure, including servers, storage devices, switches, routers and fiber optic transmission equipment. They are designed to provide the space, power, cooling and network connectivity necessary to efficiently operate mission-critical IT equipment. Telecommunications carriers and internet providers typically provide network access into a data center through optical fiber connections. The demand for data center infrastructure is being driven by many factors, but most importantly by significant growth in data and increased demand for data processing and storage infrastructure. The market for data center facilities includes established “traditional” enterprises that are web-enabling their applications and business processes, as well as cloud-centric companies with sophisticated technology requirements.

There are many types of data centers and service models available in the marketplace. Generally, their classification depends on whether they are owned by one or many organizations, how they fit into the topology of other data centers, what technologies they use for computing and storage, and even their energy efficiency. However, there are four main types of data centers:

Enterprise Data Centers. These are built, owned and operated by companies and are optimized for their end users. Most often they are housed on the corporate campus.
Managed Services Data Centers. These data centers are managed by a third party (or a managed services provider) on behalf of a company. The company leases the equipment and infrastructure instead of buying it.
Wholesale Colocation Data Centers. In colocation (“colo”) data centers, a company rents space within a data center owned by others and located off company premises. The colocation data center hosts the infrastructure: building, cooling, bandwidth, security, etc., while the company provides and manages the components, including servers, storage, and firewalls.
Cloud Data Centers. In this off-premises form of data center, data and applications are hosted by a cloud services provider such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft (Azure), or IBM Cloud or other public cloud provider.

We are developing our business model to compete in the wholesale colocation segment of the data center services industry, which is focused on providing data center space to companies that provide the processing, networking and storage of data. With the move to treat data as an asset, the data services market is expected to experience significant growth over the next decade. Industry automation and digital businesses are expanding, and these businesses are expected to require huge amounts of data for their businesses. North America is the most advanced region globally and data center services are in high demand.

1

 

In planning for our initial data centers, we are in discussions with several large companies that would lease all or part of the data center campus, with the intention of cultivating long-term strategic relationships with them once they become our customers and providing them with solutions for their data center facilities and IT infrastructure requirements. We initially intend to provide clean-energy powered wholesale colocation space with flexibility for customers to scale for future growth. As currently contemplated, our offerings will provide clean energy power, flexibility, reliability and security delivered through a tailored, customer-service-focused platform that will be designed to foster long-term relationships. Our plan is to focus on technology and large cloud computing customers that are expanding their services rapidly in the public and private cloud environments to provide them with solutions that address their current and future needs. We expect that our facilities and construction design will allow us to offer flexibility in rack density and power resiliency, and the opportunity for expansion as our customers’ needs grow.

Item 1. Business.Plan of Operations

As of the filing of this Report, we have completed Phase I and entered into Phase II of our data center development plans. In the initial phase of our project, we signed an option agreement on March 30, 2023 to acquire 80 acres of commercially-zoned land in Imperial County, California that is surrounded by nearby geothermal power plants and solar farms. We believe this site is a unique location in that it will provide us with a rare opportunity to acquire commercially-zoned land on which we can combine nearby direct clean geothermal/solar energy with a 24/7 data center operation. We believe 100% clean-energy-powered data centers are an important element in the ability of the U.S. to meet its carbon neutral climate goals and for hyperscale and enterprise IT companies to meet their shareholder and customer commitments to have an ESG-compliant, clean digital footprint before 2030. As a result, we believe the availability of nearby clean energy for our Imperial County site will provide us a significant competitive advantage in the marketplace.

In Phase I of our development plan, which we completed in December 2023, we contracted with leading data center advisory firms to complete site, power and connectivity assessments, feasibility studies, engineering plans and project benchmarking. Phase I of our plan included:

Engaging HDR Engineering, Inc., a global professional services firm specializing in architecture, engineering, environmental and construction services (“HDR Engineering”), to complete a site assessment, project feasibility study, and the initial shovel-ready site development plan for our Imperial County site.
Engaging ZGlobal, Inc., a power engineering and energy solutions firm (“ZGlobal”), to assess all available power and transmission routes in the immediate area of the site and to develop a plan to access power from close by geothermal and solar producers via Behind-The-Meter, Off-Take and Power Purchase Agreements directly and through agreements with the local grid operator.
Engaging American Dark Fiber, Inc., a provider of dark fiber connectivity to municipalities, carriers, anchor institutions, content developers, data-center operators, and other sophisticated private network users, to develop a robust fiber-based infrastructure that will provide multiple diverse geographic routes of connectivity to our data center site.
Engaging Linesight, a construction consultancy services firm (“Linesight”), to provide cost benchmarking of initial design concepts, and to assist with desktop pre-qualification of architect-engineering firms and construction managers

Based on the project assessment, feasibility and initial shovel-ready site plan developed by HDR Engineering, and the benchmarking of the project by Linesight against 25 other large data center developments in the U.S. over the last 24 months, we plan to develop our 80-acre parcel in Imperial County, California to support a 300-megawatt (MW) critical IT load data center campus of up to one million square feet of rentable colocation space utilizing baseload geothermal and supplemental solar from local power producers. Our site is industrial zoned, approved for data center use and today has access to up to 500MW of clean energy that can be delivered to it through two separate highly-reliable 230kV high-voltage transmission lines.

2

 

At the end of December 2023, we started Phase II of our data center development plan. Phase II includes hiring additional staff and consultants to complete environmental, health and safety and cyber security procedures and to develop a set of data center operating procedures to meet customer pre-qualification requirements. During this phase, we will also develop requests for proposals (RFPs) and contract packages for contracting an engineering/design firm and general contractor. In addition, we will ramp up our operating staff to support the infrastructure and buildings design processes and the development of building plans and the permit packages. We will also undertake and complete utility studies, transmission planning, substation design and the next level of geotechnical testing.

Over the next few months, we plan to complete our negotiations with the local grid operator to deliver geothermal and solar power to our Imperial County site directly from local producers and to have selected and contracted our architect/engineering firm and general contractor. In addition, we expect that it will take three to six months to complete the necessary customer pre-qualifications and basic infrastructure and building designs required to negotiate a letter of intent with a customer that will lease all or a substantial portion of our planned data center capacity. We are currently in discussions with a number of companies that are interested in leasing wholesale colocation space under a long-term lease and we are entertaining build-to-suit arrangements with a number of potential customers. Based upon the interest we have received from potential customers, we expect that we will have a letter of intent signed by the end of the second quarter or the beginning of the third quarter of 2024 t lease all or a substantial part of the development.

We plan to start the design process for our initial data center in the beginning of May 2024 and to have plans and permit packages completed by the end of 2024. If those components of Phase II are completed as planned, we would then start the initial phase of construction in January of 2025.

As we move through the development process we will continue to refine and finalize the courses of action needed to implement our business plan and operations. As a result, management has not fully determined our actual short-term or long-term capital requirements for our initial project, which management expects to be substantial.

The Data Center Industry

According to a March 2023 report of Prescient & Strategic Intelligence Pvt. Ltd., a market intelligence and consulting firm, the data center industry is large and on pace to grow rapidly, from $263 billion in 2022 to over $602 billion in 2030. The industry is not only large, but also very profitable. According to Dgtl Infra LLC, a digital infrastructure advisory firm, the larger data center developer/operator companies average 50% EBITDA on lease revenues. Those that are publicly traded are valued at an average of 25 times EBITDA.

A key metric for the industry is the cost per kilowatt-of-power-per-month ($/kW/Mo.), which drives lease revenues. According to the Evercore Digital Infrastructure Sector Update for the third quarter of 2023 (the “Evercore Report”) of Evercore, a leading global independent investment bank, hyperscale lease transactions (transactions involving the lease of 100MWs or more of data center capacity) in the U.S. are being consummated at $130/kW/Mo. or higher vs. $65-75 just three years ago, and some wholesale colocation customers are paying as high as $165/kW/mo.

Another key metric in the data center industry is the kilowatt (kW) of power-per-data-center-rack (the density of power a cabinet of servers or data storage systems consumes). According to the Evercore Report, historically, this metric has averaged 8-10kW per rack over the last ten years. However, because of artificial intelligence (AI) and other high performance computing (HPC) requirements, data center rack power densities are climbing upwards towards 100kW per rack. These higher rack densities require liquid-cooled systems rather than the conventional air-cooling methods that have been the standard for decades. Based on an average rack density of 20-40kW per rack, data center build costs over the last two to four years have averaged $10 to $15 million per megawatt. However, today, because of the new power and cooling requirements, build costs for data center developments are projected to be more in the range of $15 to $20 million per megawatt.

As a result of these changing dynamics, demand for data centers is intensive for both more facilities and greater power density. In the Evercore Report it was noted that during the third quarter of 2023, every data center under construction was pre-leased two to five years in advance of occupancy. The key constraint for the growth of data centers is the availability of power. However, in the Evercore Report, Evercore, noted that during the third quarter of 2023, on a nationwide basis, there was no availability of contiguous data center capacity above 10MW, and only three blocks of 5 MWs were available. To illustrate the power constraint, today’s data center developments start in increments of 100MW, while mega-campuses of 1GW or more are being planned.

To meet the growing demands of the digital world, it is projected by McKinsey & Company that the industry will increase energy consumption from 17GW today to over 35GW by 2030. This projected increase in demand for power has left data center developers and operators searching for electricity in any region with available power, land for construction and sufficient network bandwidth.

3

A second consideration is the environmental impact of power generation and use. Sustainability regulations are projected to become more difficult to meet, and it is expected that using renewable energy credits (RECs) to offset carbon footprints of conventional power sources will no longer qualify. Today, less than 5% of the energy powering data centers is clean.

Competition

The competition in the data center industry is primarily driven by the increasing presence of small- and large-scale service providers globally, and we will compete with numerous developers, and public and private owners and operators of technology-related real estate and data centers. The key participants in the data center colocation market are Digital Realty, Equinix, CyrusOne, QTS, and, Vantage, Compass, among many others. In addition, we may face competition from other new entrants into the data center market. Many of our current and potential competitors may have significant advantages over us, including greater name recognition, longer operating histories, pre-existing relationships with current or potential customers, significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources, ownership of more data centers and data centers that are more broadly distributed geographically, access to less expensive power, and more robust interconnected hubs in certain geographic markets. All of these potential advantages could allow competitors to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities. In addition, once we are operational, if our competitors offer space, power and/or interconnection services at rates below current market rates, or below the rates we are then charging our customers, we may lose potential customers or be pressured to reduce our rental rates below those we are then charging or have modelled in order to retain customers when our customers’ leases expire.

As a new entrant into the data center marketplace, we will compete against the larger, more established and better capitalized companies that today control the majority of market share. We believe our principal advantages will be our location, which provides us with access to an abundance of reasonably-priced local baseload geothermal and supplemental solar energy to power a 24/7 data center operation, low-latency connectivity to major market hubs, the various power distribution and cooling designs that we will employ to support a wide range of data center racking densities, and our proximity to the Southern California market and the multitudes of companies utilizing high-performance computing that want close-by data center space.

As a developer of clean-energy powered data center space, we also compete for the services of key third-party service providers, including engineers and contractors with expertise in the development of data centers. The competition for the services of specialized contractors and other third-party providers required for the development of data centers is intense, increasing the cost of engaging such providers and the risk of delays in completing our development projects.

Finally, we face competition from real estate developers in our sector and in other industries for the acquisition of additional properties suitable for data center development. Such competition may reduce the number of properties available for acquisition or development, increase the price of these properties and reduce the demand for data center space in the markets we seek to serve.

4

Intellectual Property

Our intellectual property will consist of data center designs and systems for supporting, immersion and liquid cooled data center systems that we will deploy for wholesale colocation services to hyperscale and enterprise IT customers. We intend to rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws in the United States and other jurisdictions, as well as contractual protections, to protect our proprietary service offerings and data center management systems. However, as of the date of this Report, we do not have any patents or registered trademarks.

We cannot provide any assurance that our proprietary rights with respect to our data center designs, systems or services will be viable or have value in the future since the validity, enforceability and type of protection of proprietary rights in these industries are uncertain and continuingly evolving.

Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our design, systems and services or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of our designs and services is difficult, and while we are unable to determine the extent to which piracy of our designs, systems and services will exist, intellectual piracy can be expected to be a persistent problem. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary rights to as great an extent as do the laws of the United States, and effective copyright, trademark, trade secret and patent protection may not be available in those jurisdictions. Our means of protecting our proprietary rights may not be adequate to protect us from the infringement or misappropriation of such rights by others.

Further, in recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United States involving patents and other intellectual property rights in the data center design, systems and service offerings and Internet-related data management industries. We can become subject to intellectual property infringement claims as the number of our competitors grows and our services overlap with competitive offerings. These claims, even if not meritorious, could be expensive to defend and could divert management’s attention from operating our business. If we become liable to third parties for infringing their intellectual property rights, we could be required to pay a substantial award of damages and to develop non-infringing design, systems and service offerings, obtain a license or cease providing the services that contain the infringing intellectual property. We may be unable to develop non-infringing data center design, systems and service offerings or obtain a license on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

Employees

We currently have four employees, three of whom are our executive officers, and one of whom is our VP of Data Center Development. None of our employees are represented by a collective bargaining agreement, and we have never experienced any work stoppage. We believe we have good relations with our employees.

Corporate History and Recent Developments

We were incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada on March 20, 2002 under the name Integrated Brand Solutions Inc., and on February 6, 2006, we changed our name to Upstream Biosciences Inc. From 2006 to December 2009, our company operated as a biotechnology company, and from 2010 until May 2013, our company had no operating business.

On May 24, 2013, our then majority stockholders sold their interests in our company (consisting of 10,778,081 shares of our common stock, representing approximately 90% of the issued and outstanding voting securities of our company) to RealSource Acquisition Group, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“RSAG”), and Chesterfield Faring Ltd., a New York corporation in consideration of an aggregate of $175,000 in cash. RSAG is affiliated with The RealSource Group, a group of affiliated real estate brokerage and management companies based in Salt Lake City, Utah. On July 11, 2013, we changed our corporate name by merging with our newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary calledto RealSource Residential, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and we remained as the surviving corporation under the name “RealSource Residential, Inc.” The merger was effective on July 15, 2013 and was approved by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority on August 5, 2013.

Our initial business strategy in 2013 was to build our company into a publicly held and tradedengage in various real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) by combining a portfolio of multi-family properties owned by RealSource Properties, LLC and its clients into one operating entityrelated businesses. However, in a traditional “UPREIT” structure and leveraging the experience of our management team and The RealSource Group. Based on recommendations of our investment advisors, we determined in 2016 that a more optimal capital raising and operational structure for such properties is to combine the target properties into a privately held portfolio and perhaps form a private REIT. Since we disposed of all of our real estate and other assets during 2016 as described below, at present we have nomeaningful assets orand continued operations and we are thus currently a “shell company.”

We may engage in efforts to identify and merge with or otherwise acquire an unaffiliated operating company or business of any kind, although we retain the ability to utilize our company as a public vehicle for real estate-related activities.“shell” company.

On December 9, 2013,20, 2018, we consummatedchanged our corporate name from RealSource Residential, Inc. to CalEthos, Inc. in connection with the closingimplementation of a private placement offering (the “2013 Private Placement”)plan for building a chain of 231 units (or “Units”) for $10,000 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,310,000. Each Unit consisted of: (i) a $10,000 face value 12% Series A Senior Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note (collectively,large-format cannabis retail superstores to serve the “Notes”), and (ii) one detachable Common Stock Purchase Warrant (collectively, the “Warrants”), each to purchase 10,000 shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of our common stock. The Notes accrued interest at 12% per year and had a maturity date of December 9, 2015.

The Notes were convertible into shares of our common stock at $0.50 per share (subject to customary adjustments for stock splits and similar transactions) and would automatically convert into shares of our common stock at the then applicable conversion price in the event that the 90-day trading volume weighted average price per shareneeds of the common stock exceeds $1.50 per share at any time duringrapidly-growing Southern California market. Over the termsubsequent two-year period, management assembled a number of acquisitions for retail licenses, store leases and display agreements with numerous cannabis brands as part of executing its business plan. However, once the Notes.COVID 19 pandemic lockdowns hit in early 2020 and Federal legalization of cannabis did not materialize after the 2020 elections, funding for cannabis-related businesses became less available and by the end of 2020, we concluded it would be better to pursue other business opportunities for our public company. After months of research, we determined there was a sizable opportunity to develop and manufacture high-performance computer systems for the cryptocurrency mining industry. In March 2021, we created a new business plan to develop a five nanometer ASIC chip and bitcoin mining computer system in South Korea utilizing Samsung technology and foundry capacity.

Each Warrant included within each Unit granted to each investor the right, for a period of five (5) years

In August 2021, we hired an experienced chief technology officer from the closingchip industry to lead our product development and in September 2021, we closed a convertible debt financing of $3.5 million to fund the 2013 Private Placement to subscribe for 10,000 sharesinitial phase of our common stock (i.e. 50% warrant coverage) at an exercise price equal to $2.00 per share. The exercise price of the Warrants is subject to adjust on the same terms as provided for in the Notes. As of the date of this report, an aggregate of 2,310,000 shares of our common stock are available for issuance assuming full exercise of the Warrants.

product development. In connection with the closingsuch capital raise, our board of directors determined that we are no longer a shell company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the 2013 Private Placement,Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). During the development of our computer chip and system in Korea, we entered into definitive subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with twenty-nine (29) accredited investors (the “Holders”). The Subscription Agreements contained customary representations, warranties and covenants.

Proceeds fromhad also developed a plan to build a large-scale, clean-energy powered, containerized, immersion-cooled data center operation in Southern California to support the 2013 Private Placement were used to (i) acquire, on December 10, 2013 a $2.85 million face value subordinated mortgage note secured by the Cambridge Apartments in Gulfport, Mississippi (“Cambridge”) for approximately $1,073,000 (the “B Note”) and (ii) fund (in the amount of approximately $465,000) certain costs associated with a refinancinguse of the senior mortgage indebtedness encumbering Cambridge (which refinancing occurred concurrently withsystems we were developing for our acquisitioncompany and for others. However, following the decline of the B Note). Immediately uponbitcoin market in early 2022, we decided to abandon our acquisition of the B Note,chip and system development efforts and we entered intodetermined that we could develop a Right of First Refusal and Option Agreement with RS Cambridge Apartments, LLC (“RS Cambridge”), owners of Cambridge (the “Option Agreement”), pursuant to which we converted the B Note into a right of first refusal and option (the “Option”) in the amount of approximately $1,538,000 (the “Option Payment”). The Option afforded us the right to acquire Cambridge within five (5) years after the closing of the 2013 Private Placement at the fair value of Cambridge as we negotiated with RS Cambridge. Under the Option, if RS Cambridge received an offer to purchase Cambridge during the option period, we would have had a right of first refusal to purchase Cambridge on the same terms as the offer. Had we elected not to match the offer, the Option Payment was required to be repaid upon the sale of Cambridge to the other buyer. In February 2016, RS Cambridge sold Cambridge. We elected not to exercise our right of first refusal and the cost of the Option plus accrued interest was paid to us.

On June 10, 2014, we invested $375,000 to acquire an approximate 19% interest in RS Bakken One, LLC, a newly-formed affiliated entity, which in turn acquired two properties in North Dakota, one near Williston and one in Watford City and had a combined acquisition price of $5,700,000. Concurrently, we purchased an option for $25,000 that allows us to acquire 100% of these two properties after one year for a purchase price of not less than $7,000,000, or not more than $8,000,000. Under terms of the Amendment discussed below, effective June 1, 2016 the ownership in RS Bakken One was transferred to RSRT Holdings, LLC, which is ownedprofitable business by the Holders.

On October 24, 2014, we invested $100,000 to become an approximate 3.876% member in a newly formed entity called RS Heron Walk Apartments, LLC (“RSHWA”), an affiliated entity which acquired the Heron Walk Apartments in Jacksonville, Florida (“Heron Walk”). Our investment in the Heron Walk apartments, through our ownership in RSHWA, carries an 8% cumulative preferred return under the terms of the RSHWA operating agreement, with projected higher expected average cash-on-cash and internal rates of return. Under terms of the Amendment discussed above, effective April 1, 2016 the ownership in RSHWA was transferred to RSRT Holdings, LLC, which is owned by the Holders as described below.

On January 15, 2016, each of the Holders entered into a separate Amendment to Note and Warrant (the “Amendment”) to modify certain terms and provisions of the Notes and Warrants, such Amendment being effective as of December 9, 2015, the original maturity date of the Notes. The Amendment was entered into given the maturity of the Notes to memorialize the agreements of the Company and each Holder with respect to the Notes and the Warrants held by such Holder.

Pursuant to the Amendment, the term of the Notes was extended by six months to June 9, 2016 (the “Maturity Date”). The Amendment also provided for the mandatory conversion of a portion of the interest accrued under the Note as of December 9, 2015 into shares of our common stock (the “Mandatory Conversion”). The number of shares of common stock to be issued upon the Mandatory Conversion to each Holder equaled each Holder’s pro rata portion of interest owed on such Holder’s Note converted at $0.10 per share. A total of 3,744,000 shares of our common stock were issued in February 2016.

On December 31, 2015, we held an asset consisting of a deposit (the “Cambridge Deposit”) on the Cambridge property. Cambridge was owned by RS Cambridge, an entity controlled and partially owned by the Chairman, President and CEO of our company. The Amendment further provided that in the event that, prior to the Maturity Date, RS Cambridge sold Cambridge, thus generating a return of the Cambridge Deposit to the Company, we would, within thirty (30) days of such sale, prepay, without penalty, a portion of each Note equal to each Holder’s pro rata portion of the Cambridge Deposit. Cambridge was soldoffering wholesale data center colocation services to a third party in February 2016larger customer base of hyperscale and the Cambridge Deposit plus accrued interest was paid to us. With the proceeds, we then redeemed the Notes plus a portion of the accrued interest as required under the Amendment.enterprise IT companies.

Also pursuant to the Amendment, we agreed with each Holder that, by no later than February 15, 2016, we would establish a new limited liability company (“Newco 1”) and assign to Newco 1: (a) a $100,000 equity investment (the “Heron Equity”) previously made by us in RSHWA and (b) a $400,000 equity investment (“Bakken Equity”) previously made by us in the two properties in North Dakota described above. This investment consisted of a $375,000 investment in RS Bakken One Investors, LLC and a $25,000 option to acquire the two properties within a specific range of a purchase prices. The Amendment provides that each Holder will be given a pro rata portion (based on the aggregate principal of the Notes held by such Holder) of the equity in Newco 1, entitling each Holder to a pro rata portion of all cash flows, profits and losses generated by Newco 1’s holdings of the Bakken Equity and the Heron Equity. Each Holder similarly agreed that such Holder shall have no voting, management, consent or approval rights whatsoever over the business or operations of Newco 1 (save as required by law), and all such rights are vested in us or our affiliates as the sole managing member of Newco 1. Each Holder agreed to enter into a customary limited liability company operating agreement relating to Newco1 to memorialize the foregoing. We formed Newco 1 on February 5, 2016 with the name RSRT Holdings, LLC and each Holder signed the operating agreement.

Finally, the Amendment provides that the Warrants held by such Holder were amended to (i) reduce the exercise price of the Warrants from $2.00 to $0.50 per Warrant Share and (ii) to extend the expiration time of the Warrants from December 9, 2018 to December 9, 2020.

Our Current Business

Our initial business strategy was to build the Company into a public REIT by combining a portfolio of multi-family properties owned by RealSource Properties, LLC and its clients into one operating entity in a traditional UPREIT structure and leveraging the experience of our management team and The RealSource Group. Based on recommendations of our investment advisors we have determined that the target properties should be combined into a private portfolio, raise additional equity to expand the asset value of the portfolio and perhaps form a private REIT. Since at present we have nomeaningful assets or operations, we are thus currently a “shell company.” We may engage in efforts to identify and merge with an operating company, although we retain the ability to utilize our company as a public vehicle for real estate-related activities.

Item 1A.Risk Factors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below. There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could have material adverse effects on our future results. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, business prospects, financial condition or results of operations could be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Please also read carefully the section above entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Risks Relating to Our Company and its Business

We are a shell company, and our lack of assets and current prospects makes it difficult for you to evaluate our future performance.

Although our original plan beginning in 2013 was to accumulate real estate assets and form a REIT, as of the date of this Annual Report we have nomeaningful assets or operations, and are thus currently a “shell company.” We may engage in efforts to identify and merge with an operating company, although we retain the ability to utilize oursmaller reporting company, as a public vehicle for real estate-related activities. We may be unable to find an operating company to acquire or may be unable to acquire suitable properties, operate our businesses or achieve our investment objectives as planned or at all. If we do not acquire assets, you would likely lose anydefined by Rule 12b-2 of your investment in us.

We have a near term need for capital and will need to raise additional capital in order to maintain our company.

Even if our sole corporate purpose presently is to merge with an operating company, this activity still requires operating capital to maintain our status as a publicly reporting and trading company. As of the date hereof, we have limited cash resources and may be unable to meet our current operating expenses for the next 12 months without borrowing funds, and there is no assurance that we can do so. Additional sources of financing might not be available on favorable terms, if at all, particularly if we acquire an operating company or seek to use our company to again try and acquire real estate assets. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise the additional needed to fund our business. If we are not able to raise such sufficient capital, our continued operations will be in significant jeopardy, which would lead to a significant decrease in the value of your investment or even the loss of your entire investment.

Moreover, any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which would have a dilutive effect on your investment. Included in these equity securities could be shares of preferred stock which our board of directors has the discretion to designate, which could give new investors that hold such preferred stock rights which are senior to the holders of our common stock.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our financial statements included in this Annual Report have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued a report that included an explanatory paragraph referring to our recurring net losses and accumulated deficit and expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to launch our business, obtain additional equity financing or other capital, and, ultimately, to generate revenue. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. However, if we are unable to launch our business, or if adequate funds are not available to us when we need it, and we are unable to generate revenue, we will be required to curtail our operations which would, in turn, further raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our officers, directors and affiliates are now, and all of them may in the future become, affiliated with entities engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by us and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.

Our executive officers, directors and affiliates are, or may in the future become, affiliated with entities (including The RealSource Group of companies) that are engaged in a similar business to ours. Our officers and directors also may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us and the other entities to which they owe certain fiduciary duties. As a result, our executive officers, directors and affiliates may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. These conflicts may not be resolved in our favor and as a result, a potential business opportunity may be presented to another entity prior to its presentation to us.

Our management is currently and will be employed on a part-time basis for the foreseeable future and will have outside business interests that will require their time and attention and may interfere with their ability to devote all of their time to our business, which may adversely affect our business and operations.

Since our business will be limited until we either find a suitable business combination partner or elect to acquire a critical mass of properties, all of our employees, including our executive officers, will be employed for the foreseeable future on a part-time basis and will have outside business interests that could require substantial time and attention. For example, our executive officers and directors are all associated with The RealSource Group and devote significant time to such affairs. We cannot accurately predict the amount of time and attention that will be required of our officers and directors to perform their ongoing duties related to outside business interests. The inability of our officers and directors to devote sufficient time to managing our business could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

We may suffer from delays in locating suitable investments or business combination partners, or may be unable to acquire otherwise suitable investments or businesses, which could adversely affect our growth prospects and results of operations.

Our ability to achieve our business goals and create any value for our stockholders depends upon our ability to locate, obtain financing for and consummate the acquisition of properties or business that we believe are suitable for acquisition. There is a risk that we will be unable to acquire investments or businesses on financially attractive terms or at all. If we fail to acquire such investments or businesses, the value of the company and your investment in the company will be materially impaired and you could lose the entire amount of your investment. Moreover, as our company is controlled by members of the RealSource Group, investors will have little or no say over the future direction of our company, including what assets or businesses we may acquire, or whether we elect to continue as a shell company for a long period of time.

Additionally, as a public company, we are subject to the ongoing reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Pursuant to the Exchange Act we may beand are not required to file with the SEC financial statements of properties or businesses we acquire. To the extent any required financial statements are not available or cannot be obtained, we may not be able to acquire the property or business. As a result, we may be unable to acquire certain properties or businesses that otherwise would be suitable investments, which would impair the value of our company and your investment in our company.

We may become subject to litigation, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and per share trading price of our common stock.

In the future we may become subject to litigation, including claims relating to our operations, properties, offerings, and otherwise in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims may result in significant defense costs and potentially significant judgments against us, some of which are not, or cannot be, insured against. We generally intend to vigorously defend ourselves; however, we cannot be certain of the ultimate outcomes of any claims that may arise in the future. Resolution of these types of matters against us may result in our having to pay significant fines, judgments, or settlements, which, if uninsured, or if the fines, judgments, and settlements exceed insured levels, could adversely impact our earnings and cash flows, thereby having an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and per share trading price of our common stock. Certain litigation or the resolution of certain litigation may affect the availability or cost of some of our insurance coverage, which could adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows, expose us to increased risks that would be uninsured, and/or adversely impact our ability to attract officers and directors.

Risks Associated with Our Securities Generally

There has been a very limited market for our common stock, and an active trading market for our common stock may not develop.

To date, there has been a very limited public market for our common stock, and there is a risk that no active trading market will develop or be sustained. In addition, the market value of our common stock could be substantially affected by the nature of any assets or businesses we may acquire and general market conditions, all of which investors have little or no control over. There is a significant risk that a limited market for our common stock will continue for the foreseeable future, which could adversely impact the

Even if an active market for our common stock develops, the market price and trading volume of our common stock may be volatile.

Even if an active trading market develops for our common stock, the per share trading price of our common stock may be volatile. In addition, the trading volume in our common stock may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. If the per share trading price of our common stock declines significantly, you may be unable to resell your shares. There is a risk that the per share trading price of our common stock will fluctuate or decline significantly in the future. Some of the factors that could negatively affect our share price or result in fluctuations in the price or trading volume of our common stock include:

actual or anticipated variations in our operating results or dividends;
changes in our funds from operations or earnings estimates;
publication of research reports about us or our industry;
increases in market interest rates that lead purchasers of our shares to demand a higher yield;
changes in market valuations of similar companies;
adverse market reaction to any additional debt we incur in the future;
actions by institutional stockholders;
speculation in the press or investment community;
the extent of investor interest in our securities;
changes in tax and other real estate related laws;
our underlying asset value;
future equity or equity linked issuances by us;
failure to meet earnings estimates;
general market and economic conditions

In addition, the market price for our common stock may also be affected by our ability to meet or exceed expectations of analysts or investors. Any failure to meet these expectations, even if minor, may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

6

Ownership may become diluted if we issue new shares of stock or other securities.

To raise necessary capital to maintain and grow our business, we expect to conduct financings in the future through the issuance of additional shares of stock or other securities. We may issue common stock, convertible debt or preferred stock pursuant to a subsequent public offerings or private placements, or to sellers of properties we directly or indirectly acquire instead of, or in addition to, cash consideration. If you do not participate in any future stock issuances, you will experience dilution in your ownership.

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources and divert management’s attention.

As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and increase demand on our systems and resources. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and operating results. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain and, if required, improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight may be required. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could adversely affect our business and operating results. We may need to hire more employees in the future or engage outside consultants to comply with these requirements, which will increase our costs and expenses.

In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some activities more time consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be adversely affected.

Due to our status as a “shell company”, there may be significant restrictions on your ability to sell shares of our common stock.

If a company is a “shell company” as defined under applicable SEC rules, restricted shares cannot be sold in reliance on SEC Rule 144 until the shareholder has satisfied a one-year holding period (as opposed to a six month holding period for non-shell companies). Since we were a “shell company”, holders of restricted shares in our company may be required to hold their common stock for a full year from acquisition, which would preclude them from selling such shares in the open market and otherwise significantly impair your ability to sell such shares. As such, such holders may be unable to react to movements in the price of our shares.

Our officers and directors will control our company for the foreseeable future, including the outcome of matters requiring shareholder approval.

Our officers and directors directly or indirectly own approximately 75% of our outstanding shares of common stock. Consequently, they will have the ability, acting alone, to control the election of our directors and the outcome of corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, such as: (i) a merger or a sale of our company, (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and (iii) amendments to our articles of incorporation and bylaws. This concentration of voting power and control could have a significant effect in delaying, deferring or preventing an action that might otherwise be beneficial to our other shareholders and be disadvantageous to our shareholders with interests different from those of our officers and directors.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of integrated internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results.

Effective internal and disclosure controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud and to operate as a public company. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our reputation and operating results would be harmed. As part of our ongoing monitoring of internal controls, we may discover material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal controls. As a result of weaknesses that may be identified in our internal controls, we may also identify certain deficiencies in some of our disclosure controls and procedures that we believe require remediation. If we discover weaknesses, we will make efforts to improve our internal and disclosure controls, but there is a risk that we may be unable to make any improvements. Our failure to maintain effective controls or timely effect any necessary improvement of our internal and disclosure controls could harm operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, which could affect our ability to remain a public company. Ineffective internal and disclosure controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which would likely have a negative effect on the per share trading price of our common stock.

Our common stock may be considered a “penny stock,” and thereby be subject to additional sale and trading regulations that may make it more difficult to sell.

Our common stock, which is currently and will be for the foreseeable future quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board and/or The OTC Pink Market operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc., may be considered to be a “penny stock” if it does not qualify for one of the exemptions from the definition of “penny stock” under applicable SEC rules. Our common stock may be a “penny stock” if it meets one or more of the following conditions: (i) the stock trades at a price less than $5.00 per share; (ii) it is not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; or (iii) is issued by a company that has been in business less than three years with net tangible assets less than $5 million. The principal result or effect of being designated a “penny stock” is that securities broker-dealers participating in sales of our common stock will be subject to the “penny stock” regulations set forth in Rules 15-2 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act. For example, Rule 15g-2 requires broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document at least two business days before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor’s account. Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to: (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor’s financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult and time consuming for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or otherwise.information under this item.

We have identified material weaknesses related to our internal control over financial reporting and concluded that our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of December 31, 2017. These material weaknesses remain unremedied, which could continue to impact our ability to report results of operations and financial condition accurately and in a timely manner.

We have identified a number of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures as at December 31, 2017 pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related SEC rules and concluded that our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective. We have concluded that four material weaknesses existed as at December 31, 2017 which are set out in Item 9A under the heading “Controls and Procedures”. Although we intend to remediate such material weaknesses as set out in Item 9A, we have not yet been able to address these material weaknesses and they may continue to remain unremedied for some time, which could adversely impact the accuracy and timeliness of future reports and filings we make to the SEC and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

FINRA’s sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (see above for a discussion of penny stock rules), FINRA rules require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

If we are deemed an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We do not expect to operate as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Investment Company Act). However, the analysis relating to whether a company qualifies as an investment company can involve technical and complex rules and regulations. If we own assets that qualify as “investment securities” as such term is defined under the Investment Company Act and the value of such assets exceeds 40% of the value of our total assets, we could be deemed to be an investment company and be required to register under the Investment Company Act. Registered investment companies are subject to a variety of substantial requirements that could significantly impact our operations. The costs and expenses we would incur to register and operate as an investment company, as well as the limitations placed on our operations, could have a material adverse impact on our operations and your investment return. In order to operate in a manner to avoid being required to register as an investment company we may be unable to sell assets we would otherwise want to sell or we may need to sell assets we would otherwise wish to retain. In addition, we may also have to forgo opportunities to acquire interests in companies or entities that we would otherwise want to acquire.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this Annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Our audited financial statements are stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

Plan of Operations

It is the intention of our board of directors for our company to pursue the development of the 80 acres of land in Imperial County, California that we recently put under an exclusive option agreement and Cash Requirementsdevelop it for a large-scale, 100% geothermal/solar-powered, certifiable clean energy, data center operation that will utilize immersion and liquid cooled and conventional energy efficient data center systems and provide colocation services to enterprise IT customers.

To implement our plan, we have optioned the Next 12 Months

Anticipated Cash Requirements

Overland and hired an experienced data center builder and operator and we are now in the next 12 months, we estimateprocess of acquiring the other principal ingredients needed for our minimum cash requirements (not including the costs associated with our initialdata center operation – clean energy and any subsequent acquisition of properties) to be as follows:

Legal and accounting fees $15,500 
General and administrative expenses  3,000 
Corporate communications and SEC filing fees  4,000 
Total $22,500 

As our operations are currently minimal, our operating expenses are similarly limited.

For the year ended December 31, 2017, we recorded a net loss of $25,578 and had working capital of $3,387. We estimate minimum cash requirements of $22,500fiber connectivity. To this end, over the next 12couple of months, we plan to finish negotiations with local geothermal and solar power producers to deliver clean energy for our operation, and to complete agreements with multiple communication providers for access to their close-by long-haul and dark fiber communication networks for connectivity.

We are also in the process of developing partnerships with leading-edge containerized and modular immersion and liquid cooled data center system providers whose systems we will offer for rent to our customers. We believe that, when construction of our data center is complete, the principal differentiators of our data center operations in the marketplace are expected to be that we are powered by 100% certified clean energy and that we provide leading-edge immersion and liquid cooled energy-efficient data center systems that will support the ever-increasing power and cooling needs of high-performance enterprise IT computer systems.

It is anticipated that we will incur expenses in the implementation of the business plan described herein, and such expenses will require substantial financing to complete the development of the property for a data center operation and to achieve our goals. The failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed on acceptable terms, or at all, could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our development plans, any commercialization efforts or other operations. We may not be able to secure financing on favorable terms, or at all, to meet our future capital needs. In addition, even if we are able to obtain sufficient funding to commence our business operations, we may need to pursue additional financing in the future to make expenditures and/or investments to support the growth of our business and may require additional capital to pursue our business objectives and respond to new competitive pressures, pay extraordinary expenses or fund our growth, including through acquisitions. Additional funds, however, may not be available when we need them on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to commence our proposed business operations, to continue to grow and support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited.

We currently have only limited capital with which to pay these anticipated expenses. To fund our business plan going forward, we expectintend to secure such cashraise funds from our officers, directors investors by issuing common stock, preferred stock and/or affiliates.debt securities.

We had $7,161 in cash at December 31, 2017.

Going Concern

The audited financial statements accompanyingincluded in this Annual Report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that our company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. We are a “shell company” with nomeaningful assets or operations presently.presently in the development stage and, apart from our cash balances, have only limited assets. Our company has not generated revenues since inception,in the last two fiscal years, has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon: (i) continued financial support from our shareholders; (ii) the ability of our company to continue raising necessary debt or equity financing to achieve its operating objectives; and (iii) our ability to acquire assets and establish a business or merge or otherwise acquire business opportunities.

Our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20172023 regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, our financial statements contain further note disclosures in this regard. The continuationimplementation of our business plan is dependent upon our ability to continue raising sufficient new capital from equity or debt markets in order to fund our on-going operating losses and real estate acquisition activities. The issuance of additional equity securities could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures of our company. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions that our company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from such estimates.

BasisPrinciples of PresentationConsolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our company and our wholly-owned subsidiary from the formation date. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Foreign Currency Translation

The financial statements of our foreign subsidiary, for which the functional currency is the local currency, are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at the consolidated balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and a weighted-average exchange rate during the year for revenue, expenses, gains and losses. Translation adjustments are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders’ equity (deficit). Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Debt and Debt Discounts

In accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, we first allocate the cash proceeds of the notes between the notes and any warrants on a relative fair value basis. Proceeds are then allocated to the conversion feature.

We account for debt discounts originating in connection with conversion features that remain embedded in the related notes included in this Annual Report are presented in accordance with United States generally acceptedASC 470-20. These costs are classified on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability. We amortize these costs over the term of our debt agreements as financing cost in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for our stock-based compensation under ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” using the fair value based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting principles (US GAAP)for transactions in which an entity exchanges it equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

We use the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and are expressed in US dollars.use the BSM model for measuring the fair value of options. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.

Use

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Our management reviewed all recently-issued accounting standard updates (“ASU’s”) not yet adopted by our company and does not believe the future adoptions of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation ofany such ASU’s may be expected to cause a material impact on our consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances,condition or the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by our company may differ materially from our management’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences, future results may be affected. Estimates used in preparing these financial statements include the fair value of share-based payments, deferred income taxes, financial instruments and assumptions relating to going concern.operations.

Share-Based Compensation

We account for share-based compensation using the fair value method and related compensation expense is recognized over the period of benefit when the service is rendered.

Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist of cash and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments at December 31, 2017 and 2016 approximate their fair values due to their short term nature.

Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and net operating loss carry forwards based on using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the year that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are only recognized to the extent that it is considered more likely than not that the assets will be realized.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the year. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the year, including convertible debt, stock options and share purchase warrants, using the treasury stock method. The computation of diluted loss per share does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We do not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards if currently adopted, will have a material effect on our financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial position, revenues and expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated our company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, these officers concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

The conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as identified below under the heading “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.” Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) for our company. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance, not absolute assurance, regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

13

 

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

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20172023 based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as at December 31, 20172023 due to the following material weaknesses which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines; (iii) inadequate security and restricted access to computer systems including insufficient disaster recovery plans; and

(iv) no written whistle-blower policy.

We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting when our company has sufficient staff to allocate responsibilities. During the period covered by this Annual Report, on Form 10-K, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes once our financial resources will support the required staffing level: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting and a whistle-blower policy; and (iii) implement sufficient security and restricted access measures regarding our computer systems and implement a disaster recovery plan. The remediation efforts set out in (i) and (iii) are largely dependent upon our company securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely effected in a material manner.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.

Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 20172023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

On October 4, 2021, we adopted our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”) to provide an additional means to attract, motivate, retain and reward selected employees and other eligible persons. Our stockholders also approved the Equity Plan on October 4, 2021. On November 28 2023, our board of directors approved an increase in the number shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Equity Plan to 10,000,000 shares, subject to stockholder approval, which has not yet been obtained. Employees, officers, directors and consultants who provide services to us or one of our ownsubsidiaries were eligible to receive awards under the Equity Plan. Awards under the Equity Plan are issuable in the form of incentive or nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock bonuses, restricted stock, stock units and other forms of awards including cash awards.

As of December 31, 2023, options to purchase an aggregate of 6,854,000 shares of common stock had been made under the Equity Plan, and 3,146,000 shares authorized under the Equity Plan remained available for award purposes.

Purpose. The purpose of the Equity Plan is to further and promote the interests of our company and its stockholders by enabling us to attract, retain and motivate employees, directors and consultants, or those who will become employees, directors or consultants, and to align the interests of those individuals with the interests of our stockholders.

Administration. The Equity Plan will be administered by an independent compensation committee appointed by the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), which will have general administrative authority for the Equity Plan. In the event that the Board has not appointed the Compensation Committee, then the Board shall have all the powers of the Compensation Committee under the Equity Plan. The Compensation Committee may delegate certain limited authority to one or more of our senior executive officers to grant awards to employees who are not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Additionally, the Compensation Committee may designate persons other than members of the Compensation Committee to carry out the day-to-day ministerial administration of the Equity Plan (other than with regard to the selection for participation in the Equity Plan and/or the granting of any awards to participants) under such conditions and limitations as prescribed by the Compensation Committee (the appropriate acting body, be it the Compensation Committee, the Board, or an executive officer within his or her delegated authority, is referred to herein as the “Administrator”). The Administrator’s determinations under the Equity Plan need not be uniform and may be made selectively among the Equity Plan’s participants, whether or not such participants are similarly situated.

The Administrator has broad authority under the Equity Plan with respect to award grants including, without limitation, the authority to:

select the Equity Plan’s participants;
make awards in such amounts and form as the Administrator shall determine;
impose such restrictions, terms and conditions upon such awards as the Administrator shall deem appropriate; and
correct any technical defect(s) or technical omission(s), or reconciling any technical inconsistency(ies), in the Equity Plan and/or any award agreement.

Eligibility. Persons eligible to receive awards under the Equity Plan include employees, directors and consultants, or those who will become employees, directors or consultants, of our company and/or its subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the above, incentive stock options may only be granted under the Equity Plan to our employees.

Authorized Shares. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be initially issued or transferred pursuant to awards under the Equity Plan shall not exceed 10,000,000 shares, all of which may be issued as any type of award permitted under the Equity Plan, including, but not limited to, incentive stock options.

Types of Awards. The Equity Plan authorizes awards of stock options and restricted shares of common stock.

20

A stock option is the right to purchase shares of common stock at a future date at a specified price per share (the “Exercise Price”). The per share Exercise Price of an option generally may not be less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. The maximum term of an option is ten years from the date of grant. An option may either be an incentive stock option or a nonqualified stock option. Incentive stock option benefits are taxed differently from nonqualified stock options, as described under “Federal Income Tax Consequences of Awards Under the Plan” below. Incentive stock options are also subject to more restrictive terms and are limited in amount by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and the Equity Plan. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of our company or a subsidiary.

Restricted shares are shares of common stock granted to Equity Plan participants, subject to such restrictions, terms and conditions, if any, as the Administrator deems appropriate, including, without limitation, (a) restrictions on the sale, assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other disposition of such shares, (b) the requirement that the participant deposit such shares with our company while such shares are subject to such restrictions, and (c) the requirement that such shares be forfeited upon termination of employment or service with our company for any reason or for specified reasons within a specified period of time or for other reasons (including, without limitation, the failure to achieve designated performance goals). Upon satisfaction or lapse of the applicable restrictions, terms, and conditions, subject to applicable securities laws, the participant will receive shares of common stock in exchange for such restricted shares.

Dividend Equivalents; Deferrals. The Administrator may provide for the deferred payment of awards and may determine the other terms applicable to deferrals. The Administrator may provide that awards under the Equity Plan earn dividends or dividend equivalents based on the amount of dividends paid on outstanding shares of common stock.

Assumption and Termination of Awards. Generally, and subject to limited exceptions set forth in the Equity Plan, if we believedissolve or undergo certain corporate transactions such as a merger, business combination, or other reorganization, or a sale of substantially all of its assets, all awards then-outstanding under the Equity Plan will become fully vested or paid, as applicable, and will terminate or be terminated in such circumstances, unless the Administrator provides for the assumption, substitution or other continuation of the award. The Administrator also has the discretion to establish other change in control provisions with respect to awards granted under the Equity Plan. For example, the Administrator could provide for the acceleration of vesting or payment of an award in connection with a corporate event that is not described above and provide that any such acceleration shall be automatic upon the occurrence of any such event.

Clawback. We may cancel any award under the Equity Plan, require reimbursement from a participant, and effect any other right of recoupment of equity or other compensation provided under the Equity Plan in accordance with any clawback policies adopted by us.

Transfer Restrictions. Subject to certain exceptions contained in the Equity Plan, awards under the Equity Plan generally are not transferable by the recipient other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and are generally exercisable, during the recipient’s lifetime, only by the recipient. Any amounts payable or shares issuable pursuant to an award generally will be paid only to the recipient or the recipient’s beneficiary or representative. The Administrator has discretion, however, to establish written conditions and procedures for the transfer of awards to other persons or entities, provided that such transfers comply with applicable federal and state securities laws.

Adjustments. As is customary in incentive plans of this nature, each share limit and the number and kind of shares available under the Equity Plan and any outstanding awards, as well as the exercise or purchase prices of awards, and performance targets under certain types of performance-based awards, are subject to adjustment in the event of certain reorganizations, mergers, combinations, recapitalizations, stock splits, stock dividends, or other similar events that change the number or kind of shares outstanding, and extraordinary dividends or distributions of property to the stockholders.

No Limit on Other Authority. The Equity Plan does not limit the authority of the Board or any committee to grant awards or authorize any other compensation, with or without reference to the our common stock, under any other plan or authority.

21

Termination of or Changes to the Equity Plan. The Board may amend or terminate the Equity Plan at any time and in any manner. Stockholder approval for an amendment will be required only to the extent then required by applicable law or any applicable listing agency or required under Sections 422 or 424 of the Code to preserve the intended tax consequences of the plan. For example, stockholder approval will be required for any amendment that proposes to increase the maximum number of shares that may be delivered with respect to awards granted under the Equity Plan (adjustments as a result of stock splits or similar events will not, however, be considered an amendment requiring stockholder approval). Unless terminated earlier by the Board, the authority to grant new awards under the Equity Plan will terminate on October 4, 2031. Outstanding awards, as well as the Administrator’s authority with respect thereto, generally will continue following the expiration or termination of the Equity Plan. Generally speaking, outstanding awards may be amended by the Administrator (except for a repricing), but the consent of the award holder is required if the amendment (or any Equity Plan amendment) materially and adversely affects the holder.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of Awards under the Plan.

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Equity Plan under current federal law, which is subject to change, are summarized in the following discussion of the general tax principles applicable to the Equity Plan. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and, among other considerations, does not describe the deferred compensation provisions of Section 409A of the Code to the extent an award is subject to and does not satisfy those rules, nor does it describe certain elections under the Code (such as an election under Code Section 83(b)), alternative minimum tax, or state, local, or international tax consequences.

With respect to nonqualified stock options, we are generally entitled to deduct, and the participant recognizes taxable income in an amount equal to the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise. With respect to incentive stock options, we are generally not entitled to a deduction nor does the participant recognize income at the time of exercise, although the participant may be subject to the U.S. federal alternative minimum tax. Upon a disposition of shares acquired by exercise of an incentive stock option before the end of the applicable incentive stock option holding periods, the participant generally must recognize ordinary income equal to the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the shares at the date of exercise minus the exercise price or (ii) the amount realized upon the disposition of the incentive stock option shares minus the exercise price. Otherwise, a participant’s disposition of shares acquired upon the exercise of an option (including an incentive stock option for which the incentive stock option holding periods are met) generally will result in only capital gain or loss.

With respect to restricted shares, we are generally entitled to deduct and the participant recognizes taxable income in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value over the price paid (if any) only at the time the restrictions lapse (unless the recipient elects to accelerate recognition as of the date of grant).

If an award is accelerated under the Equity Plan in connection with a “change in control” (as this term is used under the Code), we may not be permitted to deduct the portion of the compensation attributable to the acceleration (“parachute payments”) if it exceeds certain threshold limits under the Code (and certain related excise taxes may be triggered).

We have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a participant to remit to us, an amount sufficient to satisfy any income, payroll, and other taxes (including, without limitation, pursuant to the Federal Insurance Contributions Act and the Federal Unemployment Tax Act) to the extent required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning a participant arising as a result of an award under the Equity Plan.

TheTo the Board of Directors and Stockholders of RealSource Residential,

CalEthos, Inc.:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of RealSource Residential,CalEthos Inc., (the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, as of December 31, 20172023 and 2016, and2022, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2017,2023, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements.statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 20172023 and 2016,2022, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2017,2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, although the Company has net income it is primarily attributable to non-cash reversal of compensation for restricted stock units, has generated negative cash flows from operating activities, has an accumulated deficit and has stated that substantial doubt exists about Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”(“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

 

The accompanyingcritical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements have been prepared assuming that were communicated or required to be communicated to the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 3,audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the Company had an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2017, and a net loss and periodic cash flow difficulties for the two-year period ended December 31, 2017. Those conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments.

Note 2 - Significant and Critical Accounting Policies and Practices

The Management of the Company is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies and the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. Critical accounting policies and practices are those that are both most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results and require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company’s significant and critical accounting policies and practices are disclosed below as required by generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis of presentationPresentation

The Company’saccompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary from the formation date. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Going Concern and Liquidity

The Company incurred a net loss of approximately $4,630,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023, had an accumulated deficit of approximately $19,280,000 as of December 31, 2023 and had no recurring revenue from operations. The Company has financed its activities principally through debt and equity financing and shareholder contributions. Management expects to incur additional losses and cash outflows in the foreseeable future in connection with its operating activities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the rulessatisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other similar stage companies, including dependence on key individuals; successful development, marketing and branding of services; the uncertainty of product development and generation of revenues; dependence on outside sources of financing; risks associated with research and development; dependence on third-party suppliers and collaborators; protection of intellectual property; and competition with larger, better-capitalized companies. Ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations is dependent on future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fund the Company’s operations and generating a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure.

F-6

The Company will need to raise debt or equity financing in the future in order to continue its operations and achieve its growth targets. However, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available in sufficient amounts and on acceptable terms, when and if needed, or at all. The precise amount and timing of the Securities Exchange Commission.funding needs cannot be determined accurately at this time, and will depend on a number of factors, including the development of the Company’s data center campus development, approvals for construction permits, construction times, delivery of critical equipment, market demand for the Company’s wholesale colocation data center services, the timing of customer commitments for data center space, the management of working capital, and payment terms and conditions for purchase of the Company’s services. The Company believes its cash balances and cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to fund its operations and growth for the next twelve months from the issuance date of these financial statements. If the Company is unable to raise additional funding from investors or through other avenues, it may not be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of AmericaGAAP and requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date(s)date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenuesrevenue and expenses during the reporting period(s).periods.

Critical accounting estimates are estimatesForeign Currency Translation

The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries, for which (a) the nature offunctional currency is the estimate is material due tolocal currency, are translated into U.S. dollars using the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to accountexchange rate at the consolidated balance sheet date for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and (b) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating performance is material. The Company’s critical accounting estimates and assumptions affecting the financial statements were:

(i)Assumption as a going concern: 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;
(ii)Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets: Management assumes that the realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets resulting from its net operating loss (“NOL”) carry–forwards for Federal income tax purposes that may be offset against future taxable income was not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry-forwards are offset by a full valuation allowance. Management made this assumption based on (a) the Company has incurred recurring losses, (b) general economic conditions, and (c) its ability to raise additional funds to support its daily operations by way of a public or private offering, among other factors.
(iii)Estimates and assumptions used in valuation of equity instruments: Management estimatesexpected term of share options and similar instruments, expected volatility of the Company’s common shares and the method used to estimate it, expected annual rate of quarterly dividends, and risk free rate(s) to value share options and similar instruments.

These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and a weighted-average exchange rate during the year for revenue, expenses, gains and losses. Translation adjustments are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders’ equity (deficit). Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - Other inputs that are not readily apparent from other sources.directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

Management regularly evaluates

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the key factorsuse of observable inputs and assumptions used to developminimize the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in factsuse of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

As of and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company held no financial instruments as offor the year ended December 31, 20172023, the Company had no assets or 2016.liabilities that require fair value measurement.

F-7

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. AtCash and cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates its fair value. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) in accounts that at times may be in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000 per bank. The Company minimizes this risk by placing its cash deposits with major financial institutions. As of December 31, 20172023 and 2016,2022, the Company had approximately $22,000 and $1,817,000, respectively, in excess of the federal insurance limit, respectively.

Prepaid Expense

Prepaid expenses are assets held onlyby the Company, which are expected to be realized and consumed within twelve months after the reporting period.

Data Center Cost

Data center cost is stated at cost, which includes the cost incurred to complete phase I of our data center development plan. Phase I costs include the option payment for the land and the cost of consulting firms to provide power and connectivity assessments, feasibility studies, engineering plans, and project benchmarking. Also data center cost includes internal cost such as payroll related cost and debt interest cost.

In accordance with ASC 360-10-35, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of data center cost when events or changes in circumstances indicate the assets may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash deposits atflows to be derived from continuing use of the asset or cash-generating unit are discounted to their present value using a financial institution.pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Fair value less costs of disposal is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset or cash-generating unit in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the cost of disposal. When a binding sale agreement is not available, fair value less costs of disposal is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach with inputs and assumptions consistent with those of a market participant. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in net income.

As of December 31, 2023, there have been no circumstances to indicate the asset may not be recoverable.

Related Parties

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) section 850-10 for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

Pursuant to SectionASC section 850-10-20 the related parties include (a.) affiliates of the Company (“Affiliate” means, with respect to any specified Person, any other Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act); (b.) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of SectionASC section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c.) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d.) principal owners of the Company; (e.) management of the Company; (f.) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g.) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

F-8

The consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: (a.) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b.) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; (c.) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and (d.) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company follows subtopicASC section 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

Revenue RecognitionStock-Based Compensation

We account for our stock-based compensation under ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” using the fair value based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges it equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

We use the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the BSM model for measuring the fair value of options. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.

Income Taxes

The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1 ofaccounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

Deferred Tax Assets and Income Taxes Provision

The Company adopted the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded indifference between the financial statements. Under paragraph 740-10-25-13,reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the Company may recognizeenacted marginal tax rate. ASC 740 requires that the net deferred tax benefit from an uncertain tax position onlyasset be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of enacted tax laws; the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated. If necessary, the measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced by the amount of any tax benefits that are not expected to be realized based on available evidence.

F-9

The Company has adopted guidance related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes which prescribes rules for recognition, measurement and classification in the financial statements of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The guidance prescribes a two-step approach which involves evaluating whether a tax position will be more likely than not (greater than 50 percent likelihood) sustained onupon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step requires that any tax benefitsposition that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold be measured and recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based onat the largest amount of benefit that hasis a greater than fifty50 percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification,

The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.

Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable incomeexaminations by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.authorities is for years before 2013.

Tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions

The Company discloses tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions pursuant to the ASC Paragraph 740-10-50-15. Major tax jurisdictions generally have the right to examine and audit the previous three years of tax returns filed.

Earnings Per Share

The Company uses ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” for calculating the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. The Company computes basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is the amount of earnings attributable to each share of common stock. For convenience, the term is used to refer to either earnings or loss per share. EPS is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 260-10-45-10 through 260-10-45-16 Basic EPS shall be computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders (the numerator)(loss) by the weighted-averageweighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. Income available toperiod using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common stockholders shall be computed by deducting bothshares include outstanding stock options and warrants and stock awards. For periods with a net loss, basic and diluted loss per share is the dividends declaredsame, in that any potential common stock equivalents would have the effect of being anti-dilutive in the period on preferred stock (whether or not paid) and the dividends accumulated for the period on cumulative preferred stock (whether or not earned) from income from continuing operations (if that amount appears in the income statement) and also from net income. The computation of diluted EPS is similar tonet loss per share.

Cash Flows Reporting

The Company adopted paragraph 230-10-45-24 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for cash flows reporting, which classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitionsdate of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method (the “Indirect Method”) as defined by paragraph 230-10-45-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments

Subsequent Events

The Company follows the guidance in Section 855-10-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements were issued. Pursuant to ASU 2010-09 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the Company as an SEC filer considers its financial statements issued when they are widely distributed to users, such as through filing them on EDGAR.

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

conversions. As reflected in the financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2017 and a net loss for the reporting period then ended. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenue and its ability to execute a business strategy and raise additional funds.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 4 – Investments

On June 10, 2014, the Company invested $375,000 (approximately 18.8%) into newly formed RS Bakken One, LLC (“RSB1”), an entity that acquired two properties in North Dakota, one near Williston and one in Watford City. These properties are located in the heart of the Bakken oil development and had a combined acquisition price of $5,700,000. Additionally, the Company purchased an option (Option) for $25,000 that will allow it to acquire 100% of these two properties after one year for a purchase price of not less than $7,000,000 or more than $8,000,000.

On October 24, 2014 the Company invested $100,000 (approximately a 3.876% interest) into newly formed RS Heron Walk Apartments, LLC (RSHWA), an entity that acquired the Heron Walk Apartments in Jacksonville, Florida. Heron Walk apartments is a value-add opportunity and the investment in RSHWA carries an 8% preferred return and with higher expected average cash-on-cash and internal rates of return.

Pursuant to paragraph 323-10-05-5 the equity method tends to be most appropriate if an investment enables the investor to influence the operating or financial policies of the investee. Although the Company owned less than 20 percent of the voting units in both of the above entities, the COO/CFO of the Company is the Vice President of RSB1 and RSHWA and the Chairman of the Company is the Manager of both these entities which enabled the Company to influence the operating or financial policies of RSB1 and RSHWA. Thus, the Company accounted for its investment in these investments using the equity method of accounting.

Under terms of an amendment to the Note and Warrant (see Note 5-Convertible Notes) in February 2016, the Noteholders formed RSRT Holdings, LLC and agreed to accept an assignment of ownership in RSHWA and RSB1 and the Option in partial settlement of the Notes and accrued interest. The lenders on the two properties approved such transfers based on the terms of the loan documents. conversion the Holders did not provide any concession to the Company and there was not an inducement to Holders to convert, because the offer did not have a time limit, the Company has accounted for the conversion in accordance with ASC 470-50-40-4.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed by applying the federal and state income tax rates in effect to the gross amounts of temporary differences and other tax attributes, such as net operating loss carryforwards. In assessing if the deferred tax assets will be realized, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of these deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the period in which these deductible temporary differences reverse.

For financial reporting purposes, the Company has incurred a loss in each period since its inception. Based on all available evidence, including the Company’s history of losses, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets on December 31, 2023, and 2022. During the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, the valuation allowance increased (decreased) by $444,000 and $(782,000), respectively. The increase was mostly attributable to the increase in our net operating loss carryforwards. The total valuation allowance results from the Company’s estimate of its inability to recover its net deferred tax assets.

On December 31, 2023, the Company has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, which are available to offset future taxable income, of approximately $6,295,000 which for federal purposes has an unlimited carryforward period and $6,330,000 which for state purposes begins to expire in 2037. These carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and similar state provisions if the Company experienced one or more ownership changes that would limit the amount of NOL and tax credit carryforwards that can be utilized to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively. In general, an ownership change, as defined by Sections 382 and 383, results from transactions increasing ownership of certain stockholders or public groups in the stock of the corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year period. The Company has not completed an IRC Section 382/383 analysis. If a change in ownership were to have occurred, NOL and tax credit carryforwards could be eliminated or restricted. If eliminated, the related asset would be removed from the deferred tax asset schedule with a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance. Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, limitations created by future ownership changes, if any, will not impact the Company’s effective tax rate.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States and the state of California. The statute of limitation is 3 and 4 years for Federal and California, respectively. The first year that remains open is tax year ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 for Federal and California, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there are no unrecognized tax benefits, and there are no significant accruals for interest related to unrecognized tax benefits or tax penalties.

The Company is in the process of analyzing its NOL and has not determined if the company has had any change of control issues that could limit the future use of NOL. The NOL carryforwards that were generated after 2017 of approximately $6,338,000 may only be used to offset 80% of future taxable income and are carried forward indefinitely.
