As of June 30, 2022, the Company had working capital of $9,462,379.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include estimates used to review the Company’s goodwill and digital currencybitcoin impairment, intangible assets acquired, impairments and estimations of long-lived assets, revenue recognition from digital currencybitcoin mining, valuation of derivative assets and liabilities, available-for-sale investments, allowances for uncollectible accounts, valuation of digital currencies,bitcoin, valuation of contingent consideration, warranty, and the valuations of share based awards. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions including, but not limited to, the ultimate impact that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemicglobal supply chain issues may have on the Company’s operations.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as outlined in the Financial Accounting Standard Board's (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue From Contracts with Customers, which requires that five steps be followed in evaluating revenue recognition: (i) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identity the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price; and (v) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfied a performance obligation.

Our accounting policy on revenue recognition for our bitcoin mining segment (sole reporting unit as of December 31, 2022) by type of revenue is provided below.

F-11


Revenues from digital currencybitcoin mining

The Company has entered into contracts with digital assetbitcoin mining pool operators to provide computing power to the mining pools. The contracts are terminable at any time by either party and the Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when the Company starts providing computing power to the mining pool operator. In exchange for providing computing power, the Company is entitled to a fractional share of the fixed cryptocurrencybitcoin award the mining pool operator receives (lessnet digital asset transaction fees to the mining pool operator), for successfully adding a block to the blockchain, plus a fractional share of the transaction fees attached to that blockchain. The Company’s fractional share is based on the proportion of computing power the Company contributed to the mining pool operator to the total computing power contributed by all mining pool participants in solving the current algorithm. The transaction consideration the Company receives is noncashnon-cash digital consideration, in the form of digital currency,bitcoin, which the Company measures at fair value on the date received which is not materially different than the fair value at contract inception or time the Company has earned the award from the mining pools.

The transaction consideration the Company receives is a minimal amount compared to the bitcoin awards. Fair value of the digital currency awardbitcoin received as consideration is determined using the spot price of the related digital currencybitcoin on the date earned.

Additionally, the Company may be requiredreceives bitcoin consideration designated in units, the smallest of which is referred to change its policies, which could have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results from operations.

Engineering & Construction Contracts and Service Contracts

The Company recognizes engineering and construction contract revenue over time, as performance obligations are satisfied, due to the continuous transfer of control to the customer. Engineering and construction contracts are generally accounted for as a single unit of account (a single performance obligation)“Satoshi” and are not segmented between types of services. The Company recognizes revenue based primarily on contract cost incurred to date compared to total estimated contract cost (an input method). The input method is the most faithful depiction of the Company’s performance because it directly measures the value of the services transferred to the customer. Customer-furnished materials, labor and equipment and, in certain cases, subcontractor materials, labor and equipment, are included in revenue and cost of revenue when management believes that the Company is acting as a principal rather than as an agent (i.e., the Company integrates the materials, labor and equipment into the deliverables promised to the customer). Customer-furnished materials are only included in revenue and cost when the contract includes construction activity and the Company has visibility into the amount the customer is paying for the materials or there is a reasonable basis for estimating the amount. The Company recognizes revenue, but not profit, on certain uninstalled materials that are not specifically produced, fabricated, or constructed for a project. Revenue on these uninstalled materials is recognized when the cost is incurred (when control is transferred). Changes to total estimated contract cost or losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which they are determined as assessed at the contract level. Pre-contract costs are expensed as incurred unless they are expected to be recovered from the client. Project mobilization costs are generally charged to project costs as incurred when they are an integrated part of the performance obligation being transferred to the client. Customer payments on engineering and construction contracts are typically due within 30 to 45 days of billing, depending on the contract.

The Company recognizes energy (solar panel and battery) installation contract revenue for residential customers at a point in time upon completion of the installation. The revenues associated with energy installations for commercial customers are recognized over a period of time as noted in the engineering and construction contract revenue disclosure above.

For service contracts (including maintenance contracts) in which the Company has the right to consideration from the customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date, revenue is recognized when services are performed and contractually billable. Service contracts that include multiple performance obligations are segmented between types of services.

For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation using an estimate of the stand-alone selling price of each distinct service in the contract. Revenue recognized on service contracts that have not been billed to clients is classified as a current asset under contract assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized on service contracts to date are classified as a current liability under contract liabilities. Customer payments on service contracts are typically due within 30 days of billing, depending on the contract.

Revenues from Sale of Equipment

Performance Obligations Satisfied at a point in time.

We recognize revenue on agreements for equipment we sell on a standardized basis to the market at a point in time. We recognize revenue at the point in time that the customer obtains control of the good, which is generally upon shipment or when the customer has physical possession of the product depending on contract terms. We use proof of delivery for certain large equipment with more complex logistics, whereas the delivery of other equipment is estimated based on historical averages of in-transit periods (i.e., time between shipment and delivery). Generally, shipping costs are included in the price of equipment unless the customer requests a non-standard shipment. In situations where an

F-12


alternative shipment arrangement has been made, the Company recognizes the shipping revenue upon customer receipt of the shipment.

In situations where arrangements include customer acceptance provisions based on seller or customer-specified objective criteria, we recognize revenue when we have concluded that the customer has control of the goods and that acceptance is likely to occur. We generally do not provide for anticipated losses on point in time transactions prior to transferring control of the equipment to the customer.

Our billing terms for these point in time equipment contracts vary and generally coincide with shipment to the customer; however, within certain businesses, we receive progress payments from customers for large equipment purchases, which is generally to reserve production slots with our manufacturing partners, which are recorded as contract liabilities.

Due to the customized nature of the equipment, the Company does not allow for customer returns.

Service Performance obligations satisfied over time.

We enter into long-term product service agreements with our customers primarily within our microgrid segment. These agreements require us to provide preventative maintenance, and standby support services that include certain levels of assurance regarding system performance throughout the contract periods, and these contracts will generally range from 1 to 10 years. We account for items that are integral to the maintenance of the equipment as part of our service-related performance obligation, unless the customer has a substantive right to make a separate purchasing decision (e.g., equipment upgrade). Contract modifications that extend or revise contract terms are not uncommon and generally result in our recognizing the impact of the revised terms prospectively over the remaining life of the modified contract (i.e., effectively like a new contract). Revenues are recognized for these arrangements on a straight-line basis consistent with the nature, timing and extent of our services, which primarily relate to routine maintenance and as needed product repairs. Our billing terms for these contracts vary, but we generally invoice periodically as services are provided.

Contract assets represent revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed and include unbilled receivables (typically for cost reimbursable contracts) and contract work in progress (typically for fixed-price contracts). Unbilled receivables, which represent an unconditional right to payment subject only to the passage of time, are reclassified to accounts receivable when they are billed under the terms of the contract.

Revenues from software

The Company derives its software revenue from both subscription fees from customers for access to its energy software offerings and software license sales and support services. Revenues from software licenses are generally recognized upfront when the software is made available to the customer and revenues from the related support is generally recognized ratably over the contract term. The Company’s policy is to exclude sales and other indirect taxes when measuring the transaction price of its subscription agreements.

The Company’s subscription agreements generally have monthly or annual contractual terms. Revenue is recognized ratably over the related contractual term beginning on the date that the platform is made available to a customer. Access to the platform represents a series of distinct services as the Company continually provides access to, and fulfills its obligation to the end customer over the subscription term. The series of distinct services represents a single performance obligation that is satisfied over time.

Revenues from design, software development and other technology-based consulting services

For service contracts performed under Master Services Agreements (“MSA”) and accompanying Statement(s) of Work (“SOW”), revenue is recognized based on the performance obligation(s) outlined in the SOW which is typically hours worked or specific deliverable milestones. In the caseone hundred millionth of a milestone-based SOW, the Company recognizes revenues as each deliverable is signed off by the customer.bitcoin.

F-13


Revenues from data center services

The Company provides data services such as providing its customers with rack space, power and equipment, and cloud services such as virtual services, virtual storage, and data backup services, generally based on monthly services provided at a defined price included in the contracts. The performance obligations are the services provided to a customer for the month based on the contract. The transaction price is the price agreed with the customer for the monthly services provided and the revenues are recognized monthly based on the services rendered for the month.

Variable Consideration

The nature of the Company’s contracts gives rise to several types of variable consideration, including claims and unpriced change orders; awards and incentive fees; and liquidated damages and penalties. The Company recognizes revenue for variable consideration when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. The Company estimates the amount of revenue to be recognized on variable consideration using the expected value (i.e., the sum of a probability-weighted amount) or the most likely amount method, whichever is expected to better predict the amount. Factors considered in determining whether revenue associated with claims (including change orders in dispute and unapproved change orders in regard to both scope and price) should be recognized include the following: (a) the contract or other evidence provides a legal basis for the claim, (b) additional costs were caused by circumstances that were unforeseen at the contract date and not the result of deficiencies in the Company’s performance, (c) claim-related costs are identifiable and considered reasonable in view of the work performed, and (d) evidence supporting the claim is objective and verifiable. If the requirements for recognizing revenue for claims or unapproved change orders are met, revenue is recorded only when the costs associated with the claims or unapproved change orders have been incurred. Back charges to suppliers or subcontractors are recognized as a reduction of cost when it is determined that recovery of such cost is probable and the amounts can be reliably estimated. Disputed back charges are recognized when the same requirements described above for claims accounting have been satisfied.

The Company generally provides limited warranties for work performed under its engineering and construction contracts. The warranty periods typically extend for a limited duration following substantial completion of the Company’s work on a project. Historically, warranty claims have not resulted in material costs incurred.

Practical Expedients

If the Company has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of the Company’s performance completed to date (a service contract in which the Company bills a fixed amount for each hour of service provided), the Company recognizes revenue in the amount to which it has a right to invoice for services performed.

The Company does not adjust the contract price for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a service to a customer and when the customer pays for that service will be one year or less.

The Company has made an accounting policy election to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are collected by the Company from its customers (use taxes, value added taxes, some excise taxes).

Cost of Revenues

Bitcoin mining segment (sole reportable segment)

The Company includes the followingenergy costs and external co-location mining hosting fees in cost of revenues: energy costs, materials costs, manufacturing and logistics costs, freight costs, inventory write-downs, hosting services costs. The recognition of cost of revenue for our energy segment is dependent upon the revenue stream that it pertains to, refer below:revenues.

Accounts receivableReceivable, net

Accounts receivable is comprised of uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms. They are initially recorded at the invoiced amount upon the sale of goods or services to customers, and do not bear interest. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluation of its customers and management closely monitors outstanding receivables based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reviewed periodically for collectability. If management determines that collection is unlikely, an allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected is recorded.

Inventory

Inventory is statedbalances mainly include supplies inventory used to maintain bitcoin mining facilities and are presented at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost being measured on a first-in, first-out basis. For solar panel and battery installations, the Company transfers component parts from inventories to cost of goods sold once installation is complete. The Company periodically reviews inventories for unusable and obsolete items based on assumptions about future demand and market conditions.items. Based on this evaluation, provisions are made to write inventories down to their net realizable value. Inventory was $392 and $216 as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively.

Prepaid expense and other current assets

The Company records a prepaid expense for costs paid but not yet incurred. Those expected to be incurred within one year are recognized and shown as a short-term pre-paid expense. Any costs expected to be incurred outside of one year would be considered other long-term assets.

Other current assets are assets that consist of supplies, deposits and interest receivable. Deposits and interest we expect to receive within one year are shown as short-term. Those we expect to receive outside of one year are shown as other long-term assets.

F-15


At times throughout the year, the Company may maintain cash balances in certain bank accounts in excess of FDIC limits. The cash balance, in excess of the FDIC limits was $2,194,3281,811 and $17,790,32720,213 as of June 30,December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021,2022, respectively. The accounts offered by custodians of the Company’s bitcoin, which was $3,863 and $11,147 as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively, are not insured by the FDIC. The fair market value of bitcoin held in accounts not covered by FDIC limits was $10,538,120 and $23,603,210 as of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in these accounts.

The Company has certain customers and vendors who individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s revenue or capital expenditures. Please refer to Note 1314 - Major Customers and Vendors.

Stock-based compensation

The Company follows the guidelines in FASB Codification Topic ASC 718-10 Compensation-Stock Compensation, which requires companies to measure the cost of employee and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Stock-based compensation expense for stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company may issue compensatory shares for services including, but not limited to, executive, management, accounting, operations, corporate communication, financial and administrative consulting services. The Company determines the grant date fair value of the options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For equity awards granted by the Company that are contingent upon market-based conditions, the Company fair values these awards using the Monte Carlo simulation model. For discussion of accounting for restricted stock units (RSUs), please refer Note 1112 – Stock-Based Compensation.

Earnings (loss) per share

The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10 “Earnings Per Share,” which provides for calculation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. The calculation of diluted net loss per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of June 30,December 31, 2022, 846,537 units ofall common stock equivalents that consist of options, warrants and restricted stock units were excluded from the calculation of the

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Construction in progress is the construction or development of assets that have not yet been placed in service for its intended use. Depreciation for machinery and equipment, mining equipment, buildings, furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements commences once they are ready for its intended use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the terms of the related leases. Land is not depreciated.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:

In accordance with the FASB ASC 360-10, "Property, Plant and Equipment” the carrying value of property and equipment, and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value. During the three and nine months ended June 30,December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the Company did notnot record an impairment expense.

Bitcoin

Digital Currency

Digital currenciesBitcoin are included in current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Digital currenciesBitcoin are recorded at cost less impairment. They are classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, and are accounted for in connection with the Company’s revenue recognition policy detailed above and in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. In testing for impairment, the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. Quantitative impairment is measured using the quoted price of the digital currencybitcoin at the time its fair value is being measured in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. Quoted prices are obtained from the principal market. To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted as per ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.

Digital currenciesBitcoin earned by the Company through its mining activities are included within operating activities on the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. The sales of digital currenciesbitcoin are also included within investingoperating activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows and any realized gains or losses from such sales are included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company accounts for its gains or losses in accordance with the first in first out (“FIFO”) method of accounting.

Fair Value Measurement of financial instruments, derivative asset and contingent consideration

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 on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs,input, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.

F-15


Level 2 Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices included for identical or similar assets and liabilities that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. These are typically obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.

Level 3 Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own beliefs about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The carrying value of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term portion of loan payable approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amount of the Company's long-term portion of loan payable is also stated at fair value since the stated rate of interest approximates market rates. Management believes the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

The following table presents the Company’s financial instruments that are measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s balance sheets on a recurring basis, and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30,December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021:2022:

Income taxes

The Company’s calculation of its tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in various taxing jurisdictions. The Company recognizes tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on management’s estimate of whether it is more likely than not that additional taxes will be required. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of June 30,December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021.2022.

F-19


Deferred income taxes are recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates. Temporary differences arise from net operating losses, differences in depreciation methods of archived images, and property and equipment, stock-based and other compensation, and other accrued expenses. A valuation allowance is established when it is determined that it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws and regulations themselves are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, the evolution of regulations and court rulings. Therefore, the actual liability for U.S., or the various state jurisdictions,

F-16


may be materially different from managements estimates, which could result in the need to record additional tax liabilities or potentially reverse previously recorded tax liabilities. Interest and penalties are included in tax expense.

The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statements of operation in the provision for income taxes. As of June 30,December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021,2022, the Company had 0no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

Income tax expense/(benefit) from operations for the three and nine months ended June 30,December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $0 in each period, which resulted primarily from maintaining a full valuation allowance against the Company's deferred tax assets.

Segment Reporting

The Company determines its operating segments based on how the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") views and evaluates operations, performance and allocates resources. As of June 30, 2022, the Company only has the bitcoin mining business as its operating segment due to its determination to consider the energy business as discontinued operation based on its decision to make a strategic shift to focus on the digital currencybitcoin mining business and divest of its energy assets.

Discontinued Operations

The Company deems it appropriate to classify a business as a discontinued operation if the related disposal group meets all the following criteria: 1) Thethe disposal group is a component of the Company; 2) Thethe component meets the held-for-sale criteria; and 3) Thethe disposal of the component represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. As of June 30, 2022, the Company deemed its energy operations to be discontinued operation due to its strategic shift to strictly focus on its bitcoin mining operations and divest of its energy assets.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effectIn June 2022, the Company made a strategic shift to focus on the reported resultsbitcoin mining business and divest its energy assets. As a result, assets and liabilities related to the energy segment have been classified as held for sale for all periods presented. Additionally, amounts previously presented as part of continuing operations or net assets of the Company.have been reclassified into discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if it had originated the contracts. Under the current business combinations guidance, such assets and liabilities are recognized by the acquirer at fair value on the acquisition date. This new guidance is effective for the Company for its fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The

Company is evaluating its potential impact but does not expect the new standard to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments on October 1, 2020 (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires entities to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that reflects expected credit losses, including credit losses related to trade receivables, and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates, which generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. As the Company was a

Smaller Reporting Company at the time of issuance of the ASU, the Company expects to adopt the ASU effective October 1, 2023, including the interim periods within the fiscal year. Early application of the adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating its potential impact but does not expect the new standard to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (subtopic 815-40),” which reduces the number of accounting models in ASC 470-20 that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features. As a result, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. By removing those separation models, the effective interest rate of convertible debt instruments will be closer to the coupon interest rate. Further, the diluted net income per share calculation for convertible instruments will require the Company to use the if-converted method. The treasury stock method should no longer be used to calculate diluted net income per share for convertible instruments. The amendment will beis effective for the Company for this fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021,year, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

The goodwill recorded as result of the acquisition represents the strategic benefits of growing the Company’s service portfolio and the expected revenue growth from increased market penetration. Acquired goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. The total purchase price was allocated to identifiable assets deemed acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values.

The amortization periodfair values of the assets have been recorded and are reflected in property and equipment, net on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The useful life for customer listthe building and improvements is estimated to be 1.530 years years. The Company estimated the fair value of the identified customer list using a discounted cash flow model. These fair value measurements were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3 measurement. Key assumptions include the level and timing of expected incremental future cash flows over its remaining useful life, and discount rates the Company believe to be consistent with the inherent risks associated with customer list, which is 14%.Company's policy. The Company believes the level and timing of expected future cash flows appropriately reflects market participant assumptions.

The Company made measurement period adjustments, primarily to strategic contract and goodwill, to better reflect the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.

The goodwill recorded as a result of the acquisition represents the strategic benefits of growing the Company’s service portfolio and the expected revenue growth from increased market penetration. Acquired goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. The total purchase priceminers was allocated to identifiable assets deemed acquired, and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values.

The strategic contract relates to supply of a critical input to our digital currency mining business. The other assets and liabilities assumed include $5,670,000 of digital currency mining equipment and approximately $5,475,000 of notes payable related to this equipment, which was settled by the Company in December 2020. In connection with the acquisition, the Company had acquired an operating lease related to a rental building, which had a purchase option associated with the lease agreement. The Company exercised the purchase option to buy the property in May 2021 and, as a result, terminated the lease.

The amortization period for strategic contracts is estimated to be 53 years. The Company estimated the fair value of the identified strategic contract using a discounted cash flow model. These fair value measurements were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3 measurement. Key assumptions include the level and timing of expected future cash flows, conditions and demands over its remaining useful life, and discount rates the Company believe to be consistent with the inherent risks associated with strategic contract, whichCompany's policy for depreciating used miners. Land is 6.4%. The Company believesnot depreciated. Financing provided by the levelSeller and timing of expected future cash flows appropriately reflects market participant assumptions.the mortgage assumed have been recorded as loans payable and are reflected in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of this segment are separately reported as “assets and liabilities held for sale” as of June 30, 2022 in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has since sold the majority of its software and intellectual property assets

International Land Alliance, Inc.

On November 5, 2019, the Company entered into a binding Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) with International Land Alliance, Inc. (“ILAL”), a Wyoming corporation, to lay a foundational framework where the Company expects to deploy its energy solutions across the portfolio of ILAL, including its energy projects, and its customers.

In connection with the MOU, and to support the power and energy needs of ILALs development and construction of certain projects, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”), dated as of November 6, 2019, with ILAL.

Pursuant to the terms of the SPA with ILAL, the Company purchased 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of ILAL (the “Preferred Stock”) for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000500 (the “Stock Transaction”), less certain expenses and fees. The Series B Preferred Stock accrue cumulative in-kind accruals at a rate of 12% per annum and were redeemable on August 6, 2020. The Preferred Stock can be converted into common stock at a variable rate (refer to the discussion on embedded derivative assets below). This variable conversion ratio will increase by 10% with the occurrence of certain events. Since the investments were not redeemed on August 6, 2020, they are now redeemable at the Company`s option in cash or into common stock, based on the conversion ratio. The Preferred Stock is recorded as an AFSavailable-for-sale ("AFS") debt security and is reported at its estimated fair value as of June 30,December 31, 2022. Any change in the fair values of AFS debt securities are reported net of income tax as an element of Other Comprehensive income.

F-22


The Company accrued interest on our available-for-sale debt securities totaling $536,356 and $399,863 as of June 30,December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021,2022, respectively, presented as prepaid expense and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of investment in Debt Securities is $569,996639 and $494,608610 as of June 30,December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021,2022, respectively. The Company has included gain on change in fair value of preferred stock amounting to $28,79629 and $75,388 respectively for the three month and nine month periodsmonths ended June 30,December 31, 2022, and $018 and $0 respectively for the three month and nine month periodsmonths ended June 30,December 31, 2021, as part of other comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

F-24


The Company has deemed this variable conversion feature of ILAL preferred stock as an embedded derivative instrument in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815. This topic requires the Company to account for the conversion feature on its balance sheet at fair value and account for changes in fair value as a derivative gain or loss. Unrealized gain or loss on fair valuation of this embedded feature is recognized as income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.Income (Loss).

Total fair value of investment in derivative assets as of June 30,December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021,2022, respectively was $2,761,7801,685 and $4,905,6562,956. The Company fair values the debt security as a straight debt instrument based on liquidation value and accrued interest to date. The fair value of the derivative asset is based on the difference in the fair value of the debt security determined as a straight debt instrument and the fair value of the debt security if converted as of the reporting date. The Company recorded an unrealized loss on derivative assets for $1,032,5791,271 and $2,143,876 respectively for the three and nine month periodsmonths ended June 30,December 31, 2022, compared to an unrealized gain (loss) on derivative assets for ($2,060,774) and $5,319,361299 for the three and nine month periodsmonths ended June 30,December 31, 2021.

Contingent consideration

On August 31, 2020,In connection with the Mawson acquisition (as discussed in Note 3), the Company acquired GridFabric, LLC. Pursuantagreed to additional consideration for the terms of the purchase agreement, additionalseller based upon certain post-closing criteria being met. Specifically, this amounted to 1,100,890 earn-out shares of Company stock with a value on the Company’s common stock valued atdate of acquisition of $3,325. Additionally, the Company and seller agreed to up to $750,0002,000 were issuableof seller financing if GridFabric achieves certain revenue and product release milestones. On September 30, 2021, the contingent consideration was re-measured to $500,000.

On November 23, 2021, the Company settled all contingent consideration due to GridFabric resulting in a payment of 8,404 shares of common stock valued at $150,000.

Solar Watt Solutions

On February 24, 2021, the Company acquired Solar Watt Solutions, Inc. Pursuantadditional power can be delivered to the termssite. The Company believes both contingent agreements are probable and has recorded the total commitment as a current liability as of the purchase agreement, additional cash consideration of up to $2,500,000 (fair valued at $155,000 at acquisition date) in cash held back by the Company and only payable pro rata to Sellers upon meeting certain future milestones and subject to satisfaction of any amounts owing from SWS to the Company resulting from damages required to be indemnified under the SWS Merger Agreement. The contingent cash consideration was re-measured to $615,249 at December 31, 2021.

Legal contingencies

From time to time wethe Company may be subject to litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues a liability when a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When a material loss contingency is reasonably possible but not probable, the Company does not record a liability, but instead discloses the nature and the amount of the claim, and an estimate of the loss or range of loss, if such an estimate can be made. Legal fees are expensed as incurred. Based on the opinion of legal counsel and other factors, management believes that the final disposition of these existing matters will not have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows of the Company. The Company has identified certain claims as a result of which a loss may be incurred, but in the aggregate the loss is expected to be insignificant. This assessment is based on our

F-32


current understanding of relevant facts and circumstances. As such, our view of these matters is subject to inherent uncertainties and may change in the future. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether an exposure is reasonably estimable. Actual outcomes of these legal and regulatory proceedings may materially differ from our current estimates. For other claims regarding proceedings that are in an initial phase, the Company is unable to estimate the range of possible loss, if any, but at this time believes that any loss related to such claims will not be material. Risks associated with legal liability are difficult to assess and quantify, and their existence and magnitude can remain unknown for significant periods of time. We maintain liability insurance to reduce such risk exposure to the Company. Despite the measures taken, such policies may not cover future litigation, or the damages claimed may exceed our coverage which could result in contingent liabilities.

Bishins v. CleanSpark, Inc. et al.

On January 20, 2021, Scott Bishins (“Bishins”), individually, and on behalf of all others similarly situated (together, the “Class”), filed a class action complaint (the “Class Complaint”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, its Chief Executive Officer, Zachary Bradford (“Bradford”), and its Chief Financial Officer, Lori Love (“Love”) (such action, the “Class Action”). The Class Complaint alleged that, between December 31, 2020 and January 14, 2021, the Company, Bradford, and Love “failed to disclose to investors: (1) that the Company had overstated its customer and contract figures; (2) that several of the Company’s recent acquisitions involved undisclosed related party transactions; and (3) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a

F-30


reasonable basis.” The Class Complaint sought: (a) certification of the Class, (b) an award of compensatory damages to the Class, and (c) an award of reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Class in the litigation.

On December 2, 2021, the Court appointed Darshan Hasthantra as lead Plaintiff (together, with Bishins, the “Plaintiffs”), and Glancy, Prongay and Murray LLP as class counsel.

Hasthantra filed an Amended Complaint on February 28, 2022 (the “Amended Class Complaint”). In the Amended Class Complaint, Love is no longer a defendant and S. Matthew Schultz (“Schultz”) has been added as a defendant (the Company, Bradford and Schultz, collectively, the “Defendants”). The Amended Class Complaint alleges that, between December 10, 2020 and August 16, 2021 (the “Class Period”), Defendants made material misstatements and omissions regarding the Company’s acquisition of ATL Data Centers, Inc. (“ATL”) and its anticipated expansion of bitcoin mining operations. In particular, Plaintiffs allege that Defendants: (1) were misleading in their various public announcements related to the timeline for expanding ATL’s mining capacity; and (2) failed to disclose other material conditions purportedly related to the Company’s acquisition of ATL, including that an ATL predecessor had filed for bankruptcy about six months prior to the acquisition, that another bitcoin miner had declined to acquire ATL, and that a related party had performed an audit of ATL for the Company. The Amended Class Complaint seeks: (a) certification of the Class, (b) an award of compensatory damages to the Class, and (c) an award of reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Class in the litigation.

To date, no class has been certified in the Class Action.

The Company filed its Motion to Dismiss on April 28, 2022. The Motion to Dismiss seeks dismissal of all claims asserted in the Amended Class Complaint with prejudice and without leave to amend on the grounds that Plaintiffs fail to state a claim upon which relief can be granted under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. Plaintiffs filed their opposition on June 27, 2022. Defendants’ reply in further support of their Motion to Dismiss is duewas filed on August 11, 2022. The Motion to Dismiss was denied on January 5, 2023. The Company will file its Answer on February 9, 2023, and discovery will commence thereafter.

Although the ultimate outcome of the Class Action cannot be determined with certainty, the Company stands behind all of its prior statements and disclosures and believes that the claims raised in the Amended Class Complaint and the Class Complaint are entirely without merit. The Company intends to both defend itself vigorously against these claims and to vigorously prosecute any counterclaims.

F-33


Notwithstanding Plaintiffs’ allegations’ lack of merit, however, the Class Action may distract the Company and cost the Company’s management time, effort and expense to defend against the claims made in the Amended Class Complaint. Notwithstanding the Company’s belief that the Company and its management have complied with all of their obligations under applicable securities regulations, no assurance can be given as to the outcome of the Class Action, and in the event the Company does not prevail in such action, the Company, its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Ciceri, derivatively on behalf of CleanSpark, Inc., v. Bradford, Love, Schultz, Beynon, McNeill, and Wood (consolidated with Perna, derivatively on behalf of CleanSpark, Inc., v. Bradford, Love, Schultz, Beynon, McNeill, and Wood)

On May 26, 2021, Andrea Ciceri (“Ciceri”), derivatively on behalf of CleanSpark, Inc., filed a verified shareholder derivative action (the “Ciceri Derivative Action”) in the United States District Court in the District of Nevada against Chief Executive Officer, Zachary Bradford (“Bradford”), Chief Financial Officer, Lori Love (“Love”) and Directors Matthew Schultz, Roger Beynon, Larry McNeill and Tom Wood (Bradford, Love and Directors collectively referred to as “Ciceri Derivative Defendants.”) On June 22, 2021, Mark Perna (“Perna”) (Ciceri, Perna, and Ciceri Derivative Defendants collectively referred to as the “Parties”) filed a verified shareholder derivative action (the “Perna Derivative Action”) in the same Court against the same Ciceri Derivative Defendants, making substantially similar allegations. On June 29, 2021, the Court consolidated the Ciceri Derivative Action with the Perna Derivative Action in accordance with a stipulation among the parties (the consolidated case referred to as the “Derivative Action”). The Derivative Action alleges that Ciceri Derivative Defendants: (1) made materially false and misleading public statements about the Company’s business and prospects; (2) did not maintain adequate internal controls; and (3) did not disclose several related party transactions benefitting insiders, questionable uses of corporate assets, and excessive compensation. The claims asserted against all Ciceri Derivative Defendants include breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets. A claim for contribution under Sections 10(b) and 21D of the Securities and Exchange Act is asserted against only Bradford and Love. The Derivative

F-31


Action seeks declaratory relief, monetary damages, and imposition of adequate corporate governance and internal controls. Plaintiffs were given the opportunity to submit an Amended Complaint by November 25, 2021, but elected not to. In January 2022, the Parties agreed to stay the entirety of the case pending the outcome of the Motion to Dismiss in the Class Action. Any ofNow that the Parties may also terminateClass Action Motion to Dismiss has been denied, the stay on 20 days’ notice.Company intends to file a Motion to Dismiss the Ciceri Derivative Action as well.

Although the ultimate outcome of the Derivative Action cannot be determined with certainty, the Company stands behind all of its prior statements and disclosures, and believes that the claims raised in that case are entirely without merit. The Company intends to both defend itself vigorously against these claims and to vigorously prosecute any counterclaims.

Notwithstanding the Derivative Action’s lack of merit, however, it may distract the Company and cost the Company’s management time, effort and expense to defend against the claims. Notwithstanding the Company’s belief that the Company and its management have complied with all of their obligations under applicable securities regulations, no assurance can be given as to the outcome of the Derivative Action, and in the event the Company does not prevail in such action, the Company, its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Solar Watt Solutions, Inc., v. Pathion, Inc.

On January 6, 2022, Solar Watt Solutions, Inc., (“SWS”) filed suit in the Superior Court of the State of California in the County of Santa Clara against Pathion, Inc., (“Pathion”) for breach of contract, conversion, unjust enrichment and negligent misrepresentation. Prior to its acquisition by the Company, SWS paid Pathion $418,606 for solar batteries and related equipment for delivery in August 2019, later amended to November 2019. Pathion never delivered any of the items purchased by SWS. Pathion’s breach resulted in SWS being unable to complete a separate contract and cost the end-user client over $15,000 per month in electricity costs. SWS is seeking an award of compensatory damages totaling over $500,000. Pathion filed an answer on or around February 16, 2022, generally denying the claims asserted

F-34


by SWS. SWS served discovery on Pathion in May 2022; Pathion did not serve responses. Accordingly, SWS filed a Motion for Order Establishing Admissions and for Sanctions on July 25, 2022, and is awaiting a response.was awarded $1,750 in sanctions. The parties are currently engaged in the discovery process.

Darfon America Corp., etc. vs. CleanSpark, Inc., etc., et al.

On August 18, 2022, Darfon America Corp filed a breach of contract suit in connection with a purchase contract for batteries. Plaintiff contends that the Company ordered batteries and did not pay for them. Plaintiff is seeking $5.4 million in damages and additional costs and fees. The Company contends, among other things, that the batteries did not meet the necessary specifications.

On January 27, 2023, the Superior Court of the State of California in the County of San Diego orally granted Plaintiff’s Motion for a pre-judgment Writ of Attachment. While no written order has been received as of the date of this filing, this Writ of Attachment will likely provide Plaintiff with right to seek a lien on any Company assets located in California. The Company has recorded a legal reserve of $1,100,000 in connection with this matter, which represents the Plaintiff’s unmitigated damages less what the Company has already paid. While the outcome of this lawsuit is uncertain, it is unlikely to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The parties are working towards mediation and are engaged in the discovery process.

Company Overview

CleanSpark, Inc. is a leading sustainable bitcoin mining company incorporated in Nevada, whose common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.Market. The Company, through itself and its wholly owned subsidiaries, has operated in the digital currencybitcoin mining industrysector since December 2020. The only cryptocurrency we mine is bitcoin. From March 2014 to June 30, 2022, we provided advanced energy technology solutions to commercial and residential customers to solve modern energy challenges in the alternative energy sector. As of June 30, 2022, we deemed our energy operations to be discontinued operations due to our strategic decision to strictly focus on its bitcoin mining operations and divest of our energy assets.

We are currently working with various industry participants inon developing a long-term sustainability and clean energy plan forwith respect to our bitcoin mining operations. As part of this plan, weWe are using the available clean and renewable energy resources that we currently have reasonable access to atin our bitcoin mining locations in order to further support our sustainability efforts.

Lines of Business

Bitcoin Mining

Through CleanSpark, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiaries ATL Data Centers LLC (“ATL”) and, CleanBlok, Inc. (“CleanBlok”), CleanSpark DW, LLC, and CleanSpark GLP, LLC, we mine bitcoin. We entered the bitcoin mining industry through our acquisition of ATL in December 2020. We2020 in College Park, GA, acquired a second data center in Norcross, GA in August 2021, a third data center and mining equipment in Washington, GA in August 2022, a fourth data center and mining equipment in Sandersville, GA in October 2022, and have had a co-location agreement with New York-based Coinmint in place since July 2021. In March 2022, we entered into a colocation agreement with Lancium LLC pursuant to which we have access to up to 500 MWs of power. Bitcoin mining has now become our principal revenue generating business activity, and consistent with our current business strategy, weactivity. We currently intend to explore and opportunistically continue to acquire additional facilities, equipment and infrastructure capacity as well as evaluate other colocation opportunities, with the intention of expandingto continue to expand our bitcoin mining operations. In line with our business strategy, on August 5, 2022, the Company entered intoWe have no intention to mine or produce any other cryptocurrencies at this time (although we held a definitive agreement (the "Transaction"de minimis amount of USD Coin ("USDC") to purchase certain assets for total considerationas of $25,091,610, including cash, assumption of a real estate mortgage and a seller issued note payable. The assets acquired include 27 acres of real property and related electrical infrastructure currently providing 36 megawatts of power, with an additional 50 megawatts of capacity expected to be available in mid-2023, located in Washington, GA. The Transaction also included mining machines with computing power of approximately 341 petahash.December 31, 2022).

Bitcoin was introduced in 2008 with the goal of serving as a digital means of exchanging and storing value. Bitcoin is a form of digital currency that depends upon a consensus-based network and a public ledger called a “blockchain,”“blockchain”, which contains a record of every bitcoin transaction ever processed. The bitcoin network is the first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network, powered by users participating in the consensus protocol, with no central authority or middlemen, that has wide network participation. The authenticity of each bitcoin transaction is protected through digital signatures that correspond with addresses of users that send and receive bitcoin. Users have full control over remitting bitcoin from their own sending addresses. All transactions on the bitcoin blockchain are transparent, allowing those running the appropriate software to confirm the validity of each transaction. To be recorded on the blockchain, each bitcoin transaction is validated through a proof-of-work consensus method, which entails solving complex mathematical problems to validate transactions and post them on the blockchain. This process is called mining. Miners are rewarded with bitcoins, both in the form of newly-created bitcoins and fees in bitcoin, for successfully solving the mathematical problems and providing computing power to the network.

Factors such as access to computer processing capacity, interconnectivity, electricity cost, environmental factors (such as cooling capacity) and geographic location play important roles in mining. As of the date of this filing,December 31, 2022, our operating mining units are currently capable of producing over 2.86.2 exahash per second (“EH/s”). of computing power. In cryptocurrencybitcoin mining, “hash rate”“hashrate” is a measure of the computing and processing capacitypower and speed by which a mining computer mines and processes transactions on the bitcoin network. Our activities in this area are complemented by our energy background and planning is underway

to deploy certain energy technologies from our portfolio to advance our bitcoin mining business, with the goal of maximizing energy savings, increasing total power capacity, providing resilient electricity, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. We are expanding our bitcoin mining business with the goal of reaching 4.0 to 5.0 EH/s in hash rate capacity by December 31, 2022. We expect to exceed 3continue increasing our computing power through 2023 and beyond as we expand our infrastructure at our owned sites in the State of Georgia, seek strategic acquisition targets, and through strategic co-location agreements. As of the date of this filing, February 9, 2023, we are capable of producing 6.6 EH/s of computing power. A company’s computing power measured in capacity by September 30, 2022. Hash rate capacityhashrate is generally considered to be one of the most important metrics for evaluating bitcoin mining companies.

We obtain bitcoin as a result of our mining operations; whileoperations, and we retain a portion of the bitcoin we mine, we have sold, and intend to sell bitcoin from time to time, to support our operations and strategic growth. We do not currently plan to engage in regular trading of bitcoin (other than as necessary to convert our bitcoin to U.S. dollars). We do expect in the near future or to engage in hedging and yield generating activities related to our holding of bitcoin; however, our decisions to hold or sell bitcoin at any given time may be impacted by the bitcoin market, which has been historically characterized by significant volatility. Currently, we do not use a formula or specific methodology to determine whether or when we will sell bitcoin that we hold, or the number of bitcoins we will sell. Rather, decisions to hold or sell bitcoins are currently determined by management by analyzing forecasts our operating needs and monitoring the market in real time.

The value of bitcoin has historically been subject to wide swings. The following table provides a range of closing date bitcoin prices between October 1, 2021 through December 31, 2022.

As of December 31, 2022, we held approximately 234 bitcoins. The carrying value of our bitcoins as of December 31, 2022 was $3,863 on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. We account for our bitcoin as indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are subject to impairment losses if the fair value of our bitcoin decreases below their carrying value at any time since their acquisition. Impairment losses cannot be recovered for any subsequent increase in fair value. The carrying value of each bitcoin we held at the end of each reporting period reflects the lowest price of one bitcoin quoted on the active exchange at any time since its acquisition. Therefore, negative swings in the market price of bitcoin could have a material impact on our earnings and on the carrying value of our bitcoin.

As of December 31, 2022, we held $10 in USDC, which is a digital currency that is fully backed by U.S. dollar assets, with the value of one USDC coin pegged 1:1 to the value of one U.S. dollar.

Bitcoin Mining Operations

Revenues increasedOverview

We operate a fleet of servers commonly known as miners or ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits), which are computer chips customized for a specific use. In the case of bitcoin mining, ASICs calculate the SHA-256 algorithm as efficiently and quickly as possible in order to $31,027,781 duringcompete with other miners to solve blocks. Each calculation is a hash, and each machine’s computational power is measured in terahash processed per second (“th/s”). One terahash is equal to 1 trillion hashes per second. The more terahash we produce and contribute into the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared with $9,052,068 in revenues formining pool, the same period ended 2021 primarily due to increase in revenues fromhigher our digital currency mining operations.percentage of the blockchain reward.

CostsThere are a variety of factors that influence our ability to mine bitcoin profitability. Our ability to mine profitability is dependent on successfully navigating these fluctuating variables, which include bitcoin’s value in USD (the volatility of which is described above), mining difficulty, global hashrate, power prices, fleet energy efficiency, data center energy efficiency, and Expensesother factors.

The energy efficiency of a mining fleet helps drive profitability, because the most significant direct expense for bitcoin mining is power. We had costsmeasure efficiency by the watts of energy required to produce each terahash of processing power (“w/th”). We operate a highly efficient fleet of miners. The table below describes our fleet as of and expenses of $45,969,250 for the three months ended June 30,December 31, 2022 and 2021 and also describes our computing power as compared with $21,032,382 forto the three months ended June 30, 2021.global computing power.

As of December, 31, 2022, our operating hashrate was approximately 2.3% of the total global hashrate, and we received approximately the same percentage of the global blockchain rewards, which as of that date, equaled approximately 21.4 bitcoin per day. Ultimately, in order to mine profitably, we work to ensure that these mining rewards cover our direct operating costs.

and 2021, respectively. For our co-locations, the hosting fees (which comprise direct operating costs of the third-party operator with energy as the largest cost) and profit sharing were a combined 77% and 22% as a percentage of bitcoin mining revenues, respectively.

Energy prices can be highly volatile and global events (including the war in Ukraine and the resulting natural gas shortage) have caused power prices to increase nationwide over the past year. All of our wholly owned and operated sites in the State of Georgia (including one that previously had a fixed-price agreement) and our hosted miners in New York State are currently subject to variable prices and market rate fluctuations with respect to wholesale power costs. Such prices are governed by power purchase agreements which vary by location and said prices can change hour to hour. While this renders energy prices less predictable, it also gives us greater ability and flexibility to actively manage the energy we consume with an eye towards increasing profitability and energy efficiency. Energy prices are also highly sensitive to weather events, such as winter storms and polar vortices, which increase the demand for power regionally. When such events occur, we may curtail our operations to avoid using power at increased rates. The average power prices we paid for the three-months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was primarily$0.06 and $0.03 per kilowatt hour, respectively.

In the most recent quarter, energy prices spiked nationwide due to weather events and, as a result, we curtailed a total of 15% of our fleet, with December being the month with the greatest curtailment. Our active curtailment strategy allowed us to avoid excessive cost during these events, but it also resulted in decreased production. The management team makes real-time determinations on the need and timing during which we should curtail. We curtail when power prices exceed the value we would receive for the corresponding bitcoin reward. This means if bitcoin’s value decrease or energy prices increase, our curtailment will increase; and, likewise, when bitcoin’s value increases and energy prices decrease, our curtailment will decrease. The management team manages this decision on an hour-by-hour basis across all its sites both wholly owned and hosted.

Bitcoin mining energy costs at owned facilities of $3,462,742 and mining hosting and associated energy fees of $1,147,281. Our cost ofrevenue

We earned $27,746 in revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2021December 31, 2022, which was primarily the resulta decrease of mining energy costs at owned facilities of $912,036. The increase$9,229, or 25%, as compared with $36,975 in cost of revenues between the comparative periods was mainly the result of revenue growth over the same period.

Professional fees decreased to $1,432,747 for the three months ended June 30,December 31, 2021, primarily due to decrease in revenues from our bitcoin mining operations. Bitcoin mining revenues are determined by two main drivers: quantity of bitcoin mined and the price of bitcoin on the date the bitcoin is mined. During the three months ended December 31, 2022 from $1,939,907we mined 1,530 bitcoin with an average bitcoin price of $18,130 as compared to 661 bitcoin with an average bitcoin price of $55,903 during the three months ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in bitcoin mining revenue was entirely attributable to the significant decrease in the average bitcoin price in the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021. The increase in the quantity of bitcoin mined was primarily driven by the increased number of miners in operation which increased to approximately 63,700 as of December 31, 2022. The increase in miners in operation increases our hashrate, which is our total computational power, and which when understood in the context of global hashrate, determines how much bitcoin we are able to mine.

agreement with Coinmint. The increases in both utilities and hosting fees were due to the increases in the volume of mining equipment installed in both our owned and co-locations as well as a general increase in the cost of each megawatt utilized. During various periods in the month of December 2022, we experienced significantly higher energy prices due to the extreme weather conditions in Georgia and New York, and accordingly, we voluntarily curtailed our bitcoin mining operations. Immediately following the extreme weather event, energy prices dropped back to a consistent rate experienced earlier in the quarter and we resumed our mining operations. We continually evaluate energy and bitcoin prices and periodically will curtail our mining operations when it is advantageous to do so.

Management believes that providing this non-GAAP financial measure that excludes these items allows for meaningful comparisons between the Company's core business operating results and those of other companies, as well as providing the Company with an important tool for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating its own core business operating results over different periods of time. In addition to management's internal use of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, management believes that adjusted EBITDA is also useful to investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis. Management believes the foregoing to be the case even though some of the excluded items involve cash outlays and some of them recur on a regular basis (although management does not believe any of such items are normal operating expenses necessary to generate our bitcoin related revenues). For example, we expect that share-based compensation expense, which is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, will continue to be a significant recurring expense over the coming years and is an important part of the compensation provided to certain employees, officers, and directors. Additionally, management does not consider any of the excluded items to be expenses necessary to generate our bitcoin related revenue.

9We have also excluded impairment losses on assets, including impairments of its bitcoin in its non-GAAP financial measure, which may continue to occur in future periods as a result of our continued holdings of significant amounts of bitcoin.

The Company's adjusted EBITDA measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures provided by other companies in its industry, as other companies in its industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently. The Company's adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating (loss) income or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Although management utilizes internally and presents adjusted EBITDA, we only utilize that measure supplementally and do not consider it to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial results.

Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA is not meant to be considered in isolation of, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The following is a reconciliation of our non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP measure (i.e., net (loss) income) for the periods indicated:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

($ presented in 000's)

Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are working capital, inventory management, capital expenditures, public company costs and general corporate needs. We expect these needs to continue as we further develop and grow our business. Our principal sources of liquidity have been and are expected to be our cash and cash equivalents and digital currencybitcoin inventory.

As of June 30,December 31, 2022, we had total current assets of $29,448,673,$21,186, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and other current assets, digital currency, investment in equity security,bitcoin, investment in debt security and related derivative asset, and current assets held for sale, and total assets in the amount of $411,058,824.$486,789. Our total current liabilities and total liabilities as of June 30,December 31, 2022 were $19,986,294$41,600 and $34,192,029$59,754, respectively. We had negative working capital of $9,462,379$20,414 as of June 30,December 31, 2022. We sell the bitcoin we mine to fund operations and to fund capital expenditures. In addition, we have access to equity financing through our At-the-Market offering facility and debt financing through the lending arrangement we entered into in April 2022 (see Note 10-Stockholders' Equity, Note 15 - LoanLoans and Note 16 - Subsequent Events to our consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

We believe our cash and cash equivalents on hand, together with cash we expect to generate from future operations, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We are likely to require additional capital to respond to technological advancements, competitive dynamics or technologies, customer demands, business opportunities, challenges, acquisitions or unforeseen circumstances and in either the short-term or long-term may determine to engage in equity or debt financings or enter into credit facilities for other reasons.financings. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited. In particular, the widespread COVID-19 pandemic, including variants, rising inflation and interest rates, and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine have resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption and volatility in the global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital. If we are unable to raise additional funds when or on the terms desired, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Material Cash Requirements

We are a party to many contractual obligations involving commitments to make payments to third parties. These obligations impact our short-term and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs. Certain contractual obligations are reflected on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30,December 31, 2022, while others are considered future commitments. Our contractual obligations primarily consist of cancelable purchase commitments with various parties to purchase goods or services, primarily miners and equipment, entered into in the normal course of business and operating leases.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, and base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for the judgments we make about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Because these estimates can vary depending on the situation, actual results may differ from these estimates. Making estimates and judgments about future events is inherently unpredictable and is subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Should any of these estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, it could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position and statement of cash flows.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to those disclosed in our Form 10-K. For a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see Part I, Item 1, Note 2, "Summary

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to several market risks in its normal business activities. The types of market risks the Company is exposed to are the market price of bitcoin, banking, costs of mining, and liquidity risk. We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Because our assets are primarily short-term and liquid in nature, they are generally not significantly impacted by inflation. The rate of inflation does, however, affect our expenses, including employee compensation, communications and information processing and office leasing costs, which may not be readily recoverable. To the extent inflation results in rising interest rates and has adverse impacts upon securities markets, it may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We continue to monitor rising inflationary pressures, including rising freight and import costs, in an attempt to minimize its effect through pricing strategies and cost reductions. If our costs become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Market Price Risk of Bitcoin. We acquire bitcoin from our daily operations of mining and, as of June 30, 2022, we held approximately 562.87 bitcoins. The carrying value of our bitcoins as of June 30, 2022 was $10,538,120 on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. We account for our bitcoin as indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are subject to impairment losses if the fair value of our bitcoin decreases below their carrying value at any time since their acquisition. Impairment losses cannot be recovered for any subsequent increase in fair value. For example, the market price of one bitcoin in our principal market ranged from $17,733 - $68,205 during the nine months ended June 30, 2022, but the carrying value of each bitcoin we held at the end of the reporting period reflects the lowest price of one bitcoin quoted on the active exchange at any time since its acquisition. Therefore, negative swings in the market price of bitcoin could have a material impact on our earnings and on the carrying value of our digital assets.

Banking Risk. A number of companies that engage in bitcoin and/or other cryptocurrency-related activities have been unable to find banks or financial institutions that are willing to provide them with bank accounts and other services. Similarly, a number of companies and individuals or businesses associated with cryptocurrencies may have had and may continue to have their existing bank accounts closed or services discontinued with financial institutions. To the extent that such events may happen to us, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies we mine or otherwise acquire or hold for our own account.

Costs of Mining Risk. Mining operations are costly and our expenses may increase in the future. Increases in mining expenses may not be offset by corresponding increases in revenue. Our expenses may become greater than we anticipate, and our investments to make our business more cost-efficient may not succeed. Bitcoin mining operations are also subject to increased costs as a result of the periodically increasing mining difficulty rates. Increases in our costs without corresponding increases in our revenue would adversely affect our profitability and could seriously harm our business and an investment in us.

We do not believe that inflation has had a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Nonetheless, if our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

12


Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk arises from the general funding needs of the Company's activities and in the management of the Company's assets and liabilities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Limitation on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic and current reports that we file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30,December 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below.are effective.

Material Weaknesses and Remediation Plan

We identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in management assessment: (1) The Company did not adequately implement or properly maintain controls over its financial close and reporting process and its process over the recording of energy and other services revenue and (2) the Company did not adequately design and maintain effective general information technology controls over third-party information systems and applications that are relevant to the preparation of the Company’s financial statements. Specifically:

Financial Close and Reporting: Controls over financial statement reviews, specific to the appropriate reconciliation of certain balance sheet accounts, were not operating effectively.
Recording of Revenues for certain non-principal revenue generating subsidiaries: Controls over the recording and processing of revenue for certain non-principal revenue generating entities, specifically, p2kLabs, Inc, GridFabric, LLC and CleanSpark, LLC, lack the level of precision necessary to ensure the completeness and accuracy of revenue recorded.
Information and Technology Controls: Certain individual control deficiencies related to information technology (“IT”) general controls and report reviews aggregate into a material weakness, as follows:
Certain process-level and IT-dependent controls over user access to IT programs and applications, specifically utilized for hosting services and file storage, were not effective.
Controls relating to the evaluation of service organization controls reports were not performed over certain third-party service providers to cover the entire fiscal year.

Management has been implementing and continues to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. To date, the remediation actions include the following:

13


appointment of additional qualified staff;
implementation of additional monitoring of controls to improve documentation of internal control procedures;
expanding the management and governance over IT system controls; and
implementation of enhanced process controls around internal user access management including provisioning, removal, and periodic review.

While these actions and planned actions are subject to ongoing management evaluation and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over a sustained period, we are committed to continuous improvement and will continue to diligently review our internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than remediation actions related to the material weaknesses in our internal controls described above, there hasThere have been no changechanges in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) andor 15d-15(f) underof the Exchange Act) that occurred during the first quarter ended June 30, 2022of fiscal year 2023 that hashave materially affected, or isare reasonably likely to materially affect, ourthe Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

We are from time to time subject to various claims, lawsuits, and other legal and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. See Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies to our consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Please carefully considerIn addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q andreport, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item I A. of ourthe “Risk Factors” section contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2021, which could2022, together with the cautionary statement under the caption “Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These described risks are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or futureoperating results. In evaluating our business, you should carefully consider

We may face several risks due to disruptions in the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated below and by our other filings under the Exchange Act. Except as disclosed below, there have been no material changescrypto asset markets, including but not limited to the risk factors discussedfrom depreciation in our Annual Report on Form 10-K forstock price, financing risk, risk of increased losses or impairments in our investments or other assets, risks of legal proceedings and government investigations, and risks from price declines or price volatility of crypto assets.

In the year ended September 30, 2021. The occurrencesecond half of any2022 and beginning of 2023, some of the risks discussed in such filings, or other events that we do not currently anticipate or that we currently deem immaterial, could harm our business, prospects, financial conditionwell-known crypto asset market participants, including Celsius Network, Voyager Digital Ltd., Three Arrows Capital, and results of operations. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Bitcoins and other digital assets we mine or hold for our own account may be subject to loss, theft or restriction on access.

There is a risk that some or all of our bitcoins could be lost or stolen. Bitcoins are stored in and accessed by cryptocurrency sites commonly referred to as “wallets.” A hot wallet refers to any cryptocurrency wallet that is connected to the Internet. Generally, hot wallets are easier to set up and access than wallets in cold storage, but they are also more susceptible to hackers and other technical vulnerabilities. Cold storage refers to any cryptocurrency wallet that is not connected to the Internet. Cold storage is generally more secure than hot storage, but is not ideal for quick or regular transactions. When we keep our bitcoin in cold storage, we may experience lag time in our ability to respond to market fluctuations in the price of our cryptocurrency assets.

We currently mine bitcoin by contributing to and benefiting from our pools’ processing power. Our share of bitcoins mined from our pools are initially received by us in wallets we control, which are maintained by Coinbase Custody Trust Company,Genesis Global Holdco LLC a New York State limited purpose trust company and an affiliate of Coinbase Inc., a U.S. based digital assets exchange. We maintain the majority of our bitcoin in cold storage with a minority allocation kept in hot wallets for working capital purposes. Bitcoins we mine or hold for our own account may be subject to loss, theft or restriction on access. Hackers or malicious actors may launch attacks to steal, compromise or secure bitcoins, such as by attacking the bitcoin network source code, exchange miners, third-party platforms (including Coinbase), cold and hot storage locations or software, or by other means. We may be in control and possession of substantial holdings of bitcoin, and as we increase in size, we may become a more appealing target of hackers, malware, cyber-attacks or other security threats. Any of these events may adversely affect our operations and, consequently, our investments and profitability.

Furthermore, if Coinbase or another bitcoin custodian where we deposit our bitcoins experiences financial difficulties, there is a risk that creditors of such custodian will be able to treat its bitcoin as an asset of the custodian which may resultdeclared bankruptcy, resulting in a loss of some orconfidence in participants of the digital asset ecosystem and negative publicity surrounding digital assets more broadly. In November 2022, FTX, the third largest digital asset exchange by volume at the time, halted customer withdrawals and shortly thereafter, FTX and its subsidiaries filed for bankruptcy.

In response to these events, the digital asset markets, including the market for bitcoin specifically, have experienced extreme price volatility and several other entities in the digital asset industry have been, and may continue to be, negatively affected, further undermining confidence in the digital assets markets and in bitcoin. These events have also negatively impacted the liquidity of the digital assets markets as certain entities affiliated with FTX engaged in

significant trading activity. If the liquidity of the digital assets markets continues to be negatively impacted by these events, digital asset prices (including the price of bitcoin) may continue to experience significant volatility and confidence in the digital asset markets may be further undermined. These events are continuing to develop and it is not possible to predict at this time all of the risks that they may pose to us, our service providers or on the digital asset industry as a whole.

Although we had no direct exposure to FTX or any of the above-mentioned cryptocurrency companies nor any material assets that may not be recovered or may otherwise be lost or misappropriated due to the bankruptcies, the failure or insolvency of large exchanges like FTX may cause the price of bitcoin to fall and decrease confidence in the ecosystem, which could adversely affect an investment in us. Such market volatility and decrease in bitcoin price have had a material and adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition and we expect our results of operations to continue to be affected by the bitcoin price as the results of our operations are significantly tied to the price of bitcoin. For example, as disclosedIf we do not continue adjusting our short-term strategy to optimize our operating efficiency in Coinbase’s Quarterly Reportthe current dynamic market conditions, such market conditions could have a further negative result on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on May 10, 2022,our business, prospects or operations.

Potential that, in the event of Coinbase’sa bankruptcy the crypto assets Coinbase holdsfiling by a custodian, bitcoin held in custody on behalfcould be determined to be property of its customersa bankruptcy estate and we could be considered to be a partgeneral unsecured creditor thereof.

All of the bitcoin we hold is held in either cold or hot storage by Coinbase. The treatment of bitcoins held by custodians that file for bankruptcy estate and subject to bankruptcy proceedings, and such customers could be treated as Coinbase’s general unsecured creditors. Ifprotection is uncharted territory in U.S. Bankruptcy law. We cannot say with certainty whether our bitcoin held in custody by Coinbase, is subject toshould it declare bankruptcy, proceedings,would be treated as property of the bankruptcy estate and, accordingly, whether we maywould be treated as a general unsecured creditor of Coinbase or another crypto custodian, and we may lose some or allwith respect of our bitcoin held atin custody by Coinbase.


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

15


General inflation in the United States, Europe and other geographies has risen to levels not experienced in recent decades. General inflation, including rising prices for energy, metals, components, and other inputs as well as rising wages negatively impact our business by increasing our operating costs.

As a result of inflation, we have experienced and may continue to experience, cost increases. Although we may take measures to mitigate the impact of this inflation, if these measures are not effective, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. Even if such measures are effective, there could be a difference between the timing of when these beneficial actions impact our results of operations and when the cost of inflation is incurred.

Unstable market and economic conditions may have serious adverse consequences on our business, financial condition and share price.

The global economy, including credit and financial markets, has recently experienced extreme volatility and disruptions, including severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, rising interest and inflation rates, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, increases in unemployment rates and uncertainty about economic stability. If the equity and credit markets continue to deteriorate, or the United States enters a recession, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult to obtain in a timely manner or on favorable terms, more costly or more dilutive. As a result, our business, results of operations and price of our common stock may be adversely affected.

If we engage in acquisitions to grow our business, we will incurare treated as a variety of costs and may potentially face numerous risks that could adversely affect our business and operations and cause our stock price to decline.

If appropriate opportunities become available, we may seek to acquire businesses, assets, technologies or products to enhance our business. In connection with any acquisitions, we could issue additional equity securities, which would dilute our stockholders, incur substantial debt to fund the acquisitions or assume significant liabilities.

Acquisitions involve many and diverse risks and uncertainties, including problems integrating the purchased operations, assets, technologies or products as well as unanticipated costs, liabilities, and economic, legal and regulatory challenges and we may fail to successfully integrate acquired companies, or retain key personnel from the acquired company. Acquisitions may require us to record goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets that will be subject to testing on a regular basis and potential period impairment charges, incur amortization expenses related to certain intangible assets, and incur write offs and restructuring and other related expenses, any of which could harm our operating results and financial condition.

New business strategies, especially those involving acquisitions, are inherently risky and may not be successful. Failure to successfully identify, complete, manage and integrate acquisitions could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause our stock price to decline.

The definitive agreement with Waha, Inc. and Waha Technologies, Inc. may not be consummated, and even if consummated, may not be successful.

There can be no assurance that the proposed transaction with Waha, Inc. and Waha Technologies, Inc. will be consummated. The transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specific and other customary closing conditions. The failure to satisfy all of the required conditions could delay the completion of the transaction for a significant period of time or prevent them from occurring at all. There can be no assurance that these and other conditions to closing will be satisfied in a timely manner or at all. We are also subject to restrictions on our business while the transaction is pending, including by conducting the business only in the ordinary course and conferring with Waha, Inc. and Waha Technologies, Inc. regarding any material matters relating to the business. These restrictions may prevent us from pursuing attractive business opportunities or responding effectively to competitive pressures and industry developments that may arise prior to the completion of the pending transaction or otherwise adversely affect our ability to execute on our business strategy, which could adversely affect our business or financial condition. Our failure to consummate the transaction could result in negative publicity and a negative impression of our company. Further, any disruptions to our business resulting from the proposed transaction, including any adverse changes in our relationships with our employees and customers, could continue or accelerate in the event that the transaction is not

16


completed. Also, we have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant costs, expenses and fees for professional services and other transaction costs in connection with the proposed transaction. Many of these fees and costs will be payable by us even if the proposed transaction is not completed and may relate to activities that we would not have undertaken in the absence of the transactions contemplated by the agreement with Waha, Inc. and Waha Technologies, Inc. Even if we complete the transaction with Waha, Inc. and Waha Technologies, Inc., we may not realize the expected benefits of the transaction. In changing the distribution system we have relied on in the past, we may disrupt our operations and cause delays in sourcing products for our customer or in completing services for them. While we believe we will experience cost savings because of this transaction, we may never realize those savings. Any of these risks could materially and adversely impact our ongoing business, financial condition, financial results, and stock price.

The optimization of our company’s future profitability depends, in part, upon the success of our evaluation of strategic alternatives for our energy business operations.

We have been evaluating strategic alternatives for the energy business operations, as we made a strategic decision to streamline our business and focus on our bitcoin mining operations. As of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, we classified the assets within the energy business as held for sale on our consolidated balance sheets. We are evaluating strategic exit opportunities for the energy business operations and are committed to exiting this business in a manner that is in the best interest of our shareholders. It is possible that our exit strategy may ultimately include winding-down or closing the remaining energy business operations.

If our evaluation process does not result in the successful consummation of strategic alternatives, or if we are otherwise unable through such consummation to realize our goals for the energy business operations,general unsecured creditor, we may not be able to optimizerecover our future profitability,bitcoin in the event of a Coinbase bankruptcy or a bankruptcy of any other custodian we may use in the future.

Our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health and prevent us from fulfilling our debt obligations ($ in Thousands - 000's).

In April 2022, we entered into a Master Equipment Financing Agreement with Trinity Capital Inc., as the lender (the “Financing Agreement”). The Financing Agreement provided for up to $35,000 of borrowings to finance our acquisition of blockchain computing equipment. We received a loan of $20,000 at close, with the remaining $15,000 not requested for funding and cancelled. As of the date of this filing $15,867 in principal is outstanding and due to Trinity Capital Inc.

The borrowings under the Financing Agreement are collateralized by 3,336 S19j Pro miners, which are located at our Godby, GA and Norcross, GA sites. The value of the miners collateralizing the borrowings under the Financing Agreement may be negatively impacted by adverse events affecting the crypto asset markets and/or volatility in the price of bitcoin. Should we fail to satisfy our obligations with respect to our indebtedness, and should Trinity Capital Inc. foreclose on the miners collaterizing our indebtedness, we could potentially lose up to .33 exahashes of computing power, or 5% of our current computing power. In addition, to the extent the value of the miners securing our borrowings under the Financing Agreement decreases and falls the below the aggregate amount of our obligations under the Financing Agreement, the lender thereunder would be our unsecured creditor in respect of the difference in the value of the collateral and our obligations.

In addition, our indebtedness could:

increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, research and development efforts and other general corporate purposes;
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt;
result in greater interest rate risk and volatility;
limit our ability to borrow additional funds; and
make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our debt, including our obligation to repay our Financing Agreement under certain circumstances, or refinance our indebtedness on favorable terms or at all.

Our lack of insurance protection exposes us and our shareholders to the risk of loss of our bitcoin for which no person is liable.

Our bitcoin, which is held in custody by Coinbase, is not insured. Therefore, a loss may be suffered with respect to our bitcoin which is not covered by insurance and for which no person is liable in damages which could adversely affect our results of operations and, financial condition.

We may not be able to recover a significant portion of our carrying value of our assets held for sale associated with our energy business operations.

We have been evaluating strategic alternatives for the energy business operations, as we made a strategic decision to streamline our business and focus on our bitcoin mining operations. As of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, we classified the assets within the energy business as held for sale on our consolidated balance sheets. We may not be able to realize as much value from the sale of the assets as we expect and we may incur higher than expected, or unforeseen, costs associated with the disposal related activities. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

We may be unable to effectuate a sale of energy assetsconsequently, an investment in a timely manner or receive consideration that exceeds the carrying value of the assets that are currently held for sale.

We have been evaluating strategic alternatives for the energy business operations, as we made a strategic decision to streamline our business and focus on our bitcoin mining operations. As of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, we classified the assets within the energy business as held for sale on our consolidated balance sheets. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in selling our energy business operations for a price in excess of the carrying value of the assets that are currently classified as “held for sale,” if at all. In the event we are unable to sell our energy assets for a price at least equal to the carrying value of the assets, then we will have to record a charge and the amount of the charge could be material.

We are subject to various risks associated with our decision to streamline our business and dispose of operations classified as discontinued operations.

We have been evaluating strategic alternatives for the energy business operations, as we made a strategic decision to streamline our business and focus on our bitcoin mining operations. Accordingly, our discontinued operations, consisting of energy assets are classified as assets and liabilities held for sale. We now have one segment which is focused on the bitcoin mining operations. As a result of this decision, our revenue and profitability are concentrated in one industry. Downturns, adverse events and other circumstances that may affect this industry and which are largely beyond our control will now uniquely and materially affect us. For instance, if the prices of bitcoins decrease or the

17


powerThe value of bitcoin has historically been subject to wide swings. Because we do not currently hedge our investment in bitcoin and do not intend to for the foreseeable future, we are directly exposed to bitcoin’s price volatility and surrounding risks.

The market price of one bitcoin in our principal market ranged from approximately $15,800 to $21,400 during the three months ended December 31, 2022 and ranged from approximately $46,400 to $68,200 during the three months ended December 31, 2021. While bitcoin prices increase significantly,are determined primarily using data from various exchanges, over-the-counter markets and derivative platforms, they have historically been volatile and are impacted by a variety of factors. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the worldwide growth in the adoption and use of bitcoins, the maintenance and development of the software protocol of the bitcoin network, changes in consumer demographics and public tastes, fraudulent or illegitimate actors, real or perceived scarcity, and political, economic, regulatory or other conditions. Furthermore, pricing may be the result of, and may continue to result in, speculation regarding future appreciation in the value of bitcoin, or our share price, making prices more volatile.

Currently, we do not use a formula or specific methodology to determine whether or when we will sell bitcoin that we hold, or the number of bitcoins we will sell. Rather, decisions to hold or sell bitcoins are currently determined by management by analyzing forecasts and monitoring the market in real time. Such decisions, however well-informed, may result in untimely sales and even losses, adversely affecting an investment in us. At this time, we do not anticipate engaging in any hedging activities related to our holding of bitcoin; this would have a more material adverse effect on our resultsexpose us to substantial decreases in the price of operations, liquidity and our potential growth than in prior years.bitcoin.

On August 5, 2022 (the “Agreement Date”), the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, CSRE Properties Washington, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, agreed to purchase certain real property, together with all improvements situated thereon and all rights, easements and appurtenances belonging thereto (collectively, the “Property”), as further described below, pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement (the “Land Purchase Agreement”), from SPRE Commercial Group, Inc. f/k/a Waha, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Seller”), for a purchase price of $16,200,000 (the “Land Purchase”). Under the terms of the Land Purchase Agreement, at closing, the Company will pay the Seller the purchase price as follows: (i) $3,161,747 in financing provided by the Seller at an interest rate of 12%, to be repaid in 12 monthly installments of $280,917, (ii) the Company’s assumption of a mortgage with a maximum principal amount of $2,158,253 and an interest rate of 13% and (iii) $10,880,000 of cash consideration. Purchaser delivered an earnest money deposit of $500,000 to Seller on July 25, which is refundable in certain circumstances and will reduce the amount of the cash consideration due at closing. At closing, the Seller will convey fee simple title to the Property to the Company by limited warranty deed.

The Property is located in Wilkes County, Georgia and contains approximately 27 acres. The Company intends to utilize the Property to conduct certain of its cryptocurrency mining activities.

The Land Purchase is expected to close on or before September 5, 2022, subject to customary inspection and closing conditions, including the closing of the Equipment Purchase described below. The Company has the right to terminate the Land Purchase Agreement for any reason or no reason by delivering written notice to the Seller on or before the date that is 30 days after the Agreement Date.

In connection with the Company’s entry into the Land Purchase Agreement, on August [5], 2022, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, CleanSpark DW, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, agreed to purchase a mix of S19 and S19 J Pro bitcoin miners equal to approximately 341,985 terahashes, pursuant to an equipment purchase and sale agreement (the “Equipment Purchase Agreement”), from Waha Technologies, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“Equipment Seller”), an affiliate of the Seller, for a purchase price of $8,891,610 (the “Equipment Purchase”), which will be payable in full in cash to the Equipment Seller upon closing.

The closing of the Equipment Purchase shall occur contemporaneously with the closing of the Land Purchase and is subject to the closing of the Land Purchase. If the Land Purchase is not consummated for any reason, either the Company or the Equipment Seller, in its sole discretion, may terminate the Equipment Purchase Agreement without further liability to the other party.
