(“Bitstream”) on May 16, 2021, REStream Processing LLC, a Texas Limited Liability Corp (“REStream”) on May 16, 2021, Trend Discovery Exploration LLC, a Texas Limited Liability Corp. (“Trend Exploration”) on May 27, 2021, and OTZI, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Corp. (“OTZI”) on September 2, 2021, in addition to Barrier Crest, LLC (“Barrier Crest”) that was acquired along with Trend Capital Management, Inc. (“TCM”) that was acquired by Ecoark on May 31, 2019.

Agora was organized by Ecoark to enter the digital asset mining business. Because of regulatory uncertainty over digital assets being deemed to be securities, Agora’s initial focus is on mining Bitcoin which the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) administratively determined is not a security. Because of regulatory concerns and the changing regulatory environment, Agora intends to seek opportunities to engage with cryptocurrencies that do not involve the offer or sale of any securities.

The Company intends to issue a stock dividend through a pro rata distribution of Agora’s common stock to Ecoark’s common shareholders and holders of common stock equivalents. Ecoark plans to distribute 80% of the Agora common stock it holds to its shareholders as of a future record date to be determined upon completion of regulatory compliance. Ecoark plans to retain the remaining 20% ownership in Agora on its balance sheet. As a result of the approval by the board of directors of the Company to divest Agora, the Company, has accounted for this as a disposal other than by sale. Assets to be disposed of other than by sale should continue to be classified as held and used until they are disposed of. Upon disposal, the Company must assess whether the disposed of assets qualify for discontinued operations reporting. If so, the Company will apply the presentation and disclosure requirements of ASC 205-20, and if not, the Company will apply the presentation and disclosure requirements of ASC 360-10.

The Company assigned its membership interest in Trend Holdings and its related wholly owned subsidiaries to Agora on September 22, 2021, for the sale of the initial one hundred shares for ten dollars. On October 1, 2021, the Company purchased 41,671 shares of Agora common stock for $4,167 which Agora used to purchase equipment to commence the Bitstream operations.

On August 4, 2021, the Company’s common stock commenced trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Overview of Agora Digital Holdings, Inc.

Bitstream

Bitstream was organized to be our principal cryptocurrency subsidiary. Bitstream has entered into a series of agreements including arranging for a reliable and economical electric power source needed to efficiently mine Bitcoin, ordering miners, housing infrastructure and other infrastructure to mine Bitcoin and locating a third-party hosting service to operate the miners and the service’s more advanced miners. Agora has spent (and agreed to spend) between $12-$14 million in connection with these agreements, not including future revenue sharing. Agora anticipates that the initial miners will begin operating in early November and by late December or January 2022, the Bitmain S19 Pro miners supplied by the hosting service will be operational. As of October 25, 2021, Bitstream has paid unaffiliated third parties a total of $4,755 and is obligated to pay certain of these third parties an additional $8,686 pursuant to the arrangements described below.

Bitstream anticipates that they will deploy and operate modularized data centers (facilities) with the sole purpose of mining digital assets, with Bitcoin initially as the focus. Agora anticipates powering these data centers by acquiring a long-term power contract to purchase electric power from the electric grid in Texas. Once the business is operational, Bitstream intends to continuously add data center facilities by reinvesting their revenues. All data centers will be remotely managed with onsite personnel for servicing and troubleshooting any operational issues. Bitstream plans to utilize the energy to power its energy intensive operations of digital asset mining. Additionally, if Texas experiences another power shortage during the winter or summer months from extreme weather conditions, Bitstream would be able to arbitrage power at favorable margins. Bitstream will do this by temporarily shutting down their cryptocurrency mining operations and selling their purchased power back to the grid at favorable margins. Last winter, during the blackout, the price per kWh exceeded $10 at its peak imbalance, whereas Bitstream’s power cost is expected to be $0.023 per kWh.

Bitstream has

Mining Equipment

Because Bitstream has secured a source for 42 MW of electrical power as more fully described below and expects to increase the capacity through conditional and unconditional rights to a number of sites across West Texas to up to 372 MW assuming this can be done on acceptable terms. In September 2021 Bitstream ordered 5,000 used Canaan Avalon 841 13 TH/s miners for $1,350. Delivery of the first shipment of 2,000 of these miners occurred in October 2021. Bitstream’s plan is to use trailer or shipping container-like units as housing infrastructure to house our miners. Bitstream will either build their own or partner with another third-party vendor to build entry level housing infrastructure to deploy the initial mining equipment in November. In August 2021, Bitstream entered into an agreement with a third party which will supply Bitstream with more advanced housing infrastructure in exchange for approximately $375. Delivery of these enhanced housing infrastructure is expected in late 2021 or early 2022.

In September 2021, Bitstream entered into a binding agreement referred to as a Memorandum of Understanding with Elite Mining Inc. (the “Hosting Company”) that will supply high speed miners, host the Company’s data center and operate the miners it installs. In Phase 1 which is a beta test phase, Bitstream paid $600 to the Hosting Company which will also supply 6 MW capacity’s worth of very high speed and efficient miners by mid-January 2022. Bitstream has an option to purchase these high-speed miners at replacement cost (which may be higher than current cost). The Hosting Company may provide hosting for third parties during Phase 1 which reduces the cash flow for Bitstream. This agreement will also allow Bitstream to utilize a minimum of 25 MW of electricity under the initial power purchase agreement in Phase 2. Bitstream can terminate the hosting agreement as soon as Bitstream has secured sufficient capital to replace the hosted Bitmain S19 Pros with their own. Once Bitstream purchases the high-efficiency miners, the Hosting Company cannot host third parties.

The Hosting Company uses immersion cooling, and other technological enhancements, for the miners it will install for Bitstream. Immersion cooling is a technique where Bitcoin mining units are submerged in a dielectric fluid to keep the integrated circuits operating at lower temperatures. When successful, this has the potential to: prolong equipment life, enhance hashing efficiencies, and provides the opportunity to “overclock” the processors, i.e., running at speeds beyond factory specified design. Overclocking, including when assisted by immersion cooling, is a technique that can be used to increase a miner’s overall hash rate.

Phase 2 is planned to begin in May 2022 which is subject to Bitstream agreeing to proceed. If Bitstream elects to enter Phase 2, it will be required to loan the Hosting Company the funds to develop a production facility in Texas on terms to be negotiated. Bitstream will have certain rights to the production facility capacity from Phase 2 and will pay the Hosting Company for its services.

In October 2021 Bitstream secured an additional 30 MWs of electrical capacity at a different West Texas location. This supplements the Company’s prior agreement to secure 12 MWs and as a result the Company will have a total of 42 MWs of electric power for immediate use and benefit to Bitstream. Bitstream also plans to participate in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas’ (“ERCOT”) responsive reserve market by relinquishing its power back to the Texas grid as power stabilization events are needed. Additionally, Bitstream has procured mining infrastructure to power the 42 MWs and expects the equipment and infrastructure to be delivered over the next 120 days. This mining infrastructure includes twenty-one 2,600 kilo-volt amp (KVA) or similar transformers and the Company’s first shipment of Bitcoin mining application-specific integrated circuits (“ASIC”). The Company has agreed to pay a total $3,376 for the new equipment and infrastructure as follows: (i) $506 upon the order which has been paid, (ii) $506 by November 11, 2021, and (iii) the remaining $2,364 by December 15, 2021.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

In connection with the increase in electrical capacity, Bitstream entered into a second binding letter of intent with the power management company pursuant to which the Company has paid a total of $2,955, consisting of a $2,628 development fee and a $327 reimbursement for payments made by the power management company to the electric utility to secure the power. In addition, the Company agreed to pay a total of $450 upon the power management company signing a binding agreement to acquire or lease 20 or more acres of usable land for Bitstream’s facility and construct a transmission line to the mining site.

Once the business is operational, Bitstream intends to continuously add data center platforms by reinvesting cash and potentially utilizing leverage to scale operations. All data centers will be remotely managed with onsite personnel for servicing and troubleshooting any operational issues.

Barrier Crest, provides fund administration and related services for small hedge funds. Trend Discovery Holdings LLC (“Trend Discovery”) owns an entity which is the general partner but not the investment manager of two investment funds. These investment funds own shares of Ecoark and one also owns warrants of Ecoark.

Trend Exploration was assigned an 80% working interest in fourteen wells from White River SPV 2, LLC and White River E&P LLC (“Assignors”) on July 1, 2021. In accordance with ASC 205-20, there is a scope exception for oil and gas properties that use the full-cost method of accounting. Under the full-cost method of accounting, all costs associated with property acquisition, exploration, and development activities are capitalized to cost centers, which are established on a country-by-country basis. The definition of discontinued operations, however, applies to disposals of components of an entity, which is defined as the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. As a result, the definition of discontinued operations will not be operable under the full-cost method of accounting because of differences in the tracking and allocation of costs, which is at a much higher level. The Company as a result has not reflected the working interest on the fourteen wells in discontinued operations. The Trend Exploration business is identical to the business noted herein for Banner Midstream.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Ecoark Holdings and its subsidiaries and the accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the accompanying notes, are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Therefore, the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with that Annual Report on Form 10-K.

~~In May 2018, the Ecoark Holdings Board approved a plan to sell key assets of Pioneer (including the assets of Sable) and Magnolia Solar. Both of these subsidiaries were sold in May 2019.~~

On May 31, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Trend Discovery Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation ~~(“Trend Holdings”)~~ for the Company to acquire 100% of Trend Discovery Holdings, LLC pursuant to a merger of Trend ~~Holdings~~ with and into the Company (the “Merger”). ~~The Merger was completed,~~Trend Discovery Holdings, Inc. ceased doing business upon completion of the merger and Trend Discovery Holdings LLC is ~~now included~~the subsidiary of the Company. Upon the formation of Agora on September 17, 2021, Ecoark assigned the membership interest they owned in Trend Holdings to Agora on September 22, 2021 when the ~~consolidated financial statements.~~Company purchased 100 shares of Agora common stock for ten dollars.

On March 27, 2020, the Company and Banner Parent, entered into the Banner Purchase Agreement to acquire Banner Midstream. Pursuant to the acquisition, Banner Midstream became a ~~wholly-owned~~wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and Banner Parent received shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Banner Midstream.

The Company applies the guidance of Topic 810 Consolidation of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) to determine whether and how to consolidate another entity. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 810-10-15-10 all majority-owned subsidiaries—all entities in which a parent has a controlling financial interest—are consolidated except when control does not rest with the parent. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 810-10-15-8, the usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest, and, therefore, as a general rule ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, of more than 50 percent of the outstanding voting shares of another entity is a condition pointing toward consolidation. The power to control may also exist with a lesser percentage of ownership, for example, by contract, lease, agreement with other stockholders, or by court decree.

Reclassifications

The Company has reclassified certain amounts in the ~~December 31, 2019~~September 30, 2020 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to be consistent with the ~~December 31, 2020~~September 30, 2021 presentation. Reclassifications relating to the discontinued operations are described in Note 2. The reclassifications had no impact on net loss or net cash flows for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include, but are not limited to, management’s estimate of provisions required for uncollectible accounts receivable, fair value of assets held for sale and assets and liabilities acquired, impaired value of equipment and intangible assets, including goodwill, asset retirement obligations, estimates of discount rates in lease, liabilities to accrue, fair value of derivative liabilities associated with warrants, cost incurred in the satisfaction of performance obligations, permanent and temporary differences related to income taxes and determination of the fair value of stock awards.

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The estimates of proved, probable and possible oil and gas reserves are used as significant inputs in determining the depletion of oil and gas properties and the impairment of proved and unproved oil and gas properties. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation of quantities of proven, probable and possible reserves and in the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Similarly, evaluations for impairment of proved and unproved oil and gas properties are subject to numerous uncertainties including, among others, estimates of future recoverable reserves and commodity price outlooks. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions utilized.

Oil and Gas Properties

The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for its investment in oil and natural gas properties. Under the full cost method of accounting, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves, including directly related overhead costs are capitalized. General and administrative costs related to production and general overhead are expensed as incurred.

All capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, including the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, are amortized on the unit of production method using estimates of proved reserves. Disposition of oil and gas properties are accounted for as a reduction of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized unless such adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in operations. Unproved properties and development projects are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the amount of the loss from operations before income taxes and the adjusted carrying amount of the unproved properties is amortized on the unit-of-production method.

There was ~~$380~~$1,140 and $0$126 and $422 and $73 in depreciation, depletion and amortization expense for the Company’s oil and gas properties for the ~~nine months ended December 31, 2020~~six and ~~2019, respectively, and $254 and $0, for the~~ three months ended ~~December 31,~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ respectively.

Limitation on Capitalized Costs

Under the full-cost method of accounting, we are required, at the end of each reporting period, to perform a test to determine the limit on the book value of our oil and gas properties (the “Ceiling” test). If the capitalized costs of our oil and natural gas properties, net of accumulated amortization and related deferred income taxes, exceed the Ceiling, the excess or impairment is charged to expense. The expense may not be reversed in future periods, even though higher oil and gas prices may subsequently increase the Ceiling. The Ceiling is defined as the sum of: (a) the present value, discounted at 10% and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions, of (1) estimated future gross revenues from proved reserves, which is computed using oil and gas prices determined as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month hedging arrangements pursuant to ~~SAB~~Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 103, less (2) estimated future expenditures (based on current costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves; plus, (b) the cost of properties being amortized; plus, (c) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized; net of (d) the related tax effects related to the difference between the book and tax basis of our oil and natural gas properties. A ceiling test was performed as of ~~December 31, 2020~~September 30, 2021 and there was no indication of impairment on the oil and gas properties.

Oil and Gas Reserves

Reserve engineering is a subjective process that is dependent upon the quality of available data and interpretation thereof, including evaluations and extrapolations of well flow rates and reservoir pressure. Estimates by different engineers often vary sometimes significantly. In addition, physical factors such as results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of an estimate, as well as economic factors such as changes in product prices, may justify revision of such estimates. Because proved reserves are required to be estimated using recent prices of the evaluation, estimated reserve quantities can be significantly impacted by changes in product prices.

Joint Interest Activities

Certain of our exploration, development and production activities are conducted jointly with other entities and, accordingly, the consolidated financial statements reflect only our proportionate interest in such activities.

Inventories

Crude oil, products and merchandise inventories are carried at the lower of cost (last-in-first-out (LIFO)) or net realizable value. Inventory costs include expenditures and other charges directly and indirectly incurred in bringing the inventory to its existing condition and location.

Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligation

Asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) primarily represent the estimated present value of the amount the Company will incur to plug, abandon and remediate its producing properties at the projected end of their productive lives, in accordance with applicable federal, state and local laws. The Company determined its ARO by calculating the present value of the estimated cash flows related to the obligation. The retirement obligation is recorded as a liability at its estimated present value as of the ~~obligation��s~~obligation’s inception, with an offsetting increase to proved ~~properties.~~properties or to exploration costs in cost of revenue.

Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The Company accounts for a contract when it has been approved and committed to, each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred have been identified, the payment terms have been identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability is probable. Revenue is generally recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Revenue recognition for multiple-element arrangements requires judgment to determine if multiple elements exist, whether elements can be accounted for as separate units of accounting, and if so, the fair value for each of the elements.

Revenue from software license agreements of Zest Labs is recognized over time or at a point in time depending on the evaluation of when the customer obtains control of the promised goods or services over the term of the agreement. For agreements where the software requires continuous updates to provide the intended functionality, revenue is recognized over the term of the agreement. For software as a service (“SaaS”) contracts that include multiple performance obligations, including hardware, perpetual software licenses, subscriptions, term licenses, maintenance and other services, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on estimates of the price that would be charged to the customer for each promised product or service if it were sold on a standalone basis. For contracts for new products and services where standalone pricing has not been established, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on estimates using the adjusted market assessment approach, the expected cost plus a margin approach or the residual approach as appropriate under the circumstances. Contracts are typically on thirty-day payment terms from when the Company satisfies the performance obligation in the contract. The Company did not have material revenue from software license agreements in the ~~nine~~six and three months ended ~~December 31,~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ respectively.

Revenue under master service agreements is recorded upon the performance obligation being satisfied. Typically, the satisfaction of the performance obligation occurs upon the frac sand load being delivered to the customer site and this load being successfully invoiced and accepted by the Company’s factoring agent.

The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606 for their proportionate share of revenue when: (i) the Company receives notification of the successful sale of a load of crude oil to a buyer; (ii) the buyer will provide a price based on the average monthly price of crude oil in the most recent month; and (iii) cash is received the following month from the crude oil buyer.

The Company will recognize income from digital currency mining from the provision of transaction services within digital currency networks, commonly termed “cryptocurrency mining”. As consideration for those services, the Company will receive digital currency from each specific network in which it participates (“coins”). Income from digital currency mining is measured based on the fair value of the coins received. The fair value is determined using the spot price of the coin on the date of receipt. The coins are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, as intangible asset – digital currency, at their fair value less costs to sell and re-measured each reporting date, if not sooner. Revaluation gains or losses on the sale of coins for traditional (fiat) currencies will be included in the consolidated statements of operations in accordance with the Company’s treatment of its digital currencies as a traded commodity.

The Company accounts for contract costs in accordance with ASC Topic 340-40, Contracts with Customers. The Company recognizes the cost of sales of a contract as expense when incurred or at the time a performance obligation is satisfied. The Company recognizes an asset from the costs to fulfil a contract only if the costs relate directly to a contract, the costs generate or enhance resources that will be used in satisfying a performance obligation in the future and the costs are expected to be recovered. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are capitalized unless the costs would have been incurred regardless of whether the contract was obtained.

Cost of sales for Pinnacle Frac includes all direct expenses incurred to produce the revenue for the period. This includes, but is not limited to, direct employee labor, direct contract labor and fuel.

Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company considers accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, to be fully collectible. The allowance is based on management’s estimate of the overall collectability of accounts receivable, considering historical losses, credit insurance and economic conditions. Based on these same factors, individual accounts are charged off against the allowance when management determines those individual accounts are uncollectible. Credit extended to customers is generally uncollateralized, however credit insurance is obtained for some customers. Past-due status is based on contractual terms.

For Pinnacle Frac, accounts receivable is comprised of unsecured amounts due from customers that have been conveyed to a factoring agent for both with and without recourse. Pinnacle Frac receives an advance from the factoring agent of 98% of the amount invoiced to the customer within one business day. The Company recognizes revenue for 100% of the gross amount invoiced, records an expense for the 2% finance charge by the factoring agent, and realizes cash for the 98% net proceeds received. The Company has recognized an allowance for doubtful accounts of ~~$709~~$209 and ~~$500~~$109 as of ~~December 31, 2020~~September 30, 2021 and March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. ASC 820 classifies these inputs into the following hierarchy:

Level 1 inputs: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 inputs: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 inputs: Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.

Digital currencies will consist of cryptocurrency denominated assets and will be included in current assets. Digital currencies will be carried at their fair value determined by the spot rate less costs to sell. The digital currency market is still a new market and is highly volatile; historical prices are not necessarily indicative of future value; a significant change in the market prices for digital currencies would have a significant impact on the Company’s earnings and financial position. Fair value will be determined by taking the price of the coins from the exchanges which the Company will most frequently use.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

Digital Currencies

Digital currencies will be included in current assets in the consolidated balance sheets as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Digital currencies are recorded at cost less impairment.

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, which is measured using the quoted price of the digital currency at the time its fair value is being measured. 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. 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.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Segment Information

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 280-10 Segment Reporting. This standard requires that companies disclose operating segments based on the manner in which management disaggregates the Company in making internal operating decisions. The Company and its chief operating decision makers determined that the Company’s operations effective with the May 31, 2019, acquisition of Trend Holdings and the March 27, 2020 acquisition of Banner Midstream ~~now consist~~consisted of three segments, ~~Trend Holdings (Finance), Banner Midstream (Commodities)~~Financial, Commodities and ~~Zest Labs (Technology).~~Technology. Effective July 1, 2021, the Company’s chief operating decision makers in discussion with the finance team determined that the Company will add a fourth reporting segment to account for their Digital Asset mining business. Additionally, on July 1, 2021 the Company will report its home office costs into the Commodity segment, charge its Technology segment a monthly overhead fee, and has recorded typical overhead expenses in their Finance and Digital Asset segments to account for this home office allocation.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. Management evaluates all of the Company’s financial instruments, including warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. The Company generally uses a Black-Scholes model, as applicable, to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates when needed. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is ~~remeasured~~re-measured at the end of each reporting period. The Black-Scholes model is used to estimate the fair value of the derivative liabilities.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contract’s in an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2021, and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2021-04 “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation— Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815- 40) Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options” which clarifies and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. An entity should measure the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as follows: i) for a modification or an exchange that is a part of or directly related to a modification or an exchange of an existing debt instrument or line-of-credit or revolving-debt arrangements (hereinafter, referred to as a “debt” or “debt instrument”), as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged written call option and the fair value of that written call option immediately before it is modified or exchanged; ii) for all other modifications or exchanges, as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the modified or exchanged written call option over the fair value of that written call option immediately before it is modified or exchanged. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the amendments prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

If the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, its stockholders would experience dilution. Additional debt financing, if available, may involve covenants restricting its operations or its ability to incur additional debt. Any additional debt financing or additional equity that the Company raises may contain terms that are not favorable to it or its stockholders and require significant debt service payments, which diverts resources from other activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing, it may be required to significantly scale back its business and operations. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital will be impacted by the heightened societal and regulatory focus on climate change and may also be impacted by the ~~recent outbreak of COVID-19.~~COVID-19 pandemic including the current supply chain shortages.

The Company believes that the current cash on hand and anticipated cash from operations is sufficient to conduct planned operations for one year from the issuance of the ~~unaudited condensed~~ consolidated financial statements.

~~Impact of COVID-19~~

The recent outbreak of COVID-19, which has been declared by the World Health Organization to be a pandemic, has spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity. The COVID-19 public health epidemic prevented the Company from conducting business activities at full capacity for an indefinite period of time, including due to risk of spread of the disease within these groups or due to shutdowns requested or mandated by governmental authorities.

Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic previously had a profound effect on the U.S. and global economy and may continue to affect the economy and the industries in which we operate, depending on the vaccine rollouts and the emergence of virus mutations.

COVID-19 did not have a material effect on the ~~Condensed~~ Consolidated Statements of Operations or the ~~Condensed~~ Consolidated Balance Sheets ~~included~~for the six and three months ended September 30, 2021 in ~~this Form 10-Q. However,~~contrast to the material impact it ~~did~~had in the prior fiscal year.

COVID-19 has also contributed to the supply chain disruptions which have not yet had a material ~~impact on our management’s ability~~effect for the Company. The Company will continue to ~~operate effectively and meet some of our filing deadlines. The impact included~~monitor the ~~difficulties of working remotely from home including slow Internet connection,~~supply chain shortages affecting the ~~inability of our accounting and financial officers to collaborate as effectively as they would otherwise have in an office environment and issues arising from mandatory state quarantines.~~world.

~~While~~Because the federal government and some state and local authorities are reacting to the current Delta variant of COVID-19, it is ~~not possible at this time to estimate with sufficient certainty the impact that COVID-19 could have~~creating uncertainty on ~~the Company’s business, the continued spread of COVID-19 and the measures taken by federal, state, local and foreign governments~~whether these actions could disrupt the operation of the Company’s ~~business. The COVID-19 outbreak~~business and ~~mitigation measures have also had and may continue to have an adverse impact on global and domestic economic conditions, which could~~ have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition, including on its potential to conduct financings on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. In addition, the Company has taken temporary precautionary measures intended to help minimize the risk of the virus to its employees, including temporarily requiring employees to work remotely, and discouraging employee attendance at in-person work-related meetings, which could negatively affect the Company’s business. These measures are continuing.Company. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak ~~impacts~~may impact the Company’s results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the virus and the actions to contain its impact.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES ~~Act~~Act”) includes, among other things, provisions relating to payroll tax credits and deferrals, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credits and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The CARES Act also established a Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), whereby certain small business are eligible for a loan to fund payroll expenses, rent and related costs. We had received funding under the PPP, and a majority of that has been forgiven.

In April 2020, the Company and one of its subsidiaries entered into PPP loans with financial ~~institutions, See Notes 11 (u) and (v).~~institutions. Of the $1,869 in PPP loans obtained this fiscal year, the Company was informed that $1,850 (including $11 in accrued interest) ~~has~~had been forgiven in the three months ended December 31, 2020. The remaining $30 with accrued interest of $2 ~~will be~~was converted into a loan that is due in May 2022, with payments of $2 per month that commenced December 19, 2020. The Company repaid this loan in full in September 2021.

Pursuant to ASC 205-20-45-3A, the results of operations of Pinnacle Vac from inception to discontinuation of operations will be reclassified to a separate component of income, below Net Income/(Loss), as a Loss on Discontinued Operations.

~~All~~As of April 1, 2021, all of the equipment assets and accounts payable of Pinnacle Vac ~~and the related loan liabilities will be subsequently~~were transitioned into Capstone to continue servicing the debt. ~~The remaining current~~As a result, there are no assets ~~of Pinnacle Vac will be used to settle any outstanding current~~or liabilities of ~~Pinnacle Vac.

Banner Midstream made the decision to discontinue the operations of its wholly owned subsidiary, Pinnacle Vac Service LLC (“Pinnacle Vac”), effective October 31, 2018 due to the inability of Pinnacle Vac’s management to develop a sustainable, profitable business model. The managerial staff of Pinnacle Vac was terminated on November 15, 2018three months ended September 30, 2021 and ~~Pinnacle Vac’s rental facility at Sligo Rd. was vacated on November 15, 2018.~~2020.

These embedded features included (a) the implicit right for the holders to request that the Company settle the warrants in registered shares. Since maintaining an effective registration of shares is potentially outside the control of the Company, these warrants were classified as liabilities as opposed to equity.

On October 28, 2019, the Company issued 449 shares of the Company’s common stock to investors in exchange for the March and May 2017 warrants. Upon the issuance of the 449 shares, the March and May 2017 warrants were extinguished.

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company treat the whole instrument as liability and record the fair value of the instrument as derivatives as of the inception date of the instrument and to adjust the fair value of the instrument as of each subsequent balance sheet date.

On July 12, 2019, the March and August 2018 warrants were exchanged for 855 shares of Company common stock, and all of those warrants were extinguished. The fair value of the shares issued was $3,293, and the fair value of the warrants was $2,454 resulting in a loss of $839 that was recognized on the exchange.

The Company determined our derivative liabilities to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and used the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value as of ~~December 31, 2020~~September 30, 2021 and March 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The Black-Scholes model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, time to expiration, the risk-free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate.

Changes to these inputs could produce a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The fair value of each warrant is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The following assumptions were used on ~~December 31, 2020,~~September 30, 2021 and March 31, ~~2020~~2021 and at inception:

Legal Proceedings

We are presently involved in the following legal ~~proceedings in Arkansas and Florida.~~proceedings. To the best of our knowledge, no governmental authority is contemplating any proceeding to which we are a party or to which any of our properties or businesses are subject, which would reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

● On August 1, 2018, Ecoark Holdings, Inc. and Zest Labs, Inc. filed a complaint against Walmart Inc. in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas, Western Division. The complaint includes claims for violation of the Arkansas Trade Secrets Act, violation of the Federal Defend Trade Secrets Act, breach of contract, unfair competition, unjust enrichment, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, conversion and fraud. On April 9, 2021, a Little Rock, Arkansas jury awarded Ecoark and Zest a total of $115 million in damages which includes $65 million in compensatory damages and $50 million in punitive damages and found Walmart Inc. liable on three claims. The federal jury found that Walmart Inc. misappropriated Zest’s trade secrets, failed to comply with a written contract, and acted willfully and maliciously in misappropriating Zest’s trade secrets.

Supplier ~~Concentration.~~Concentration. Certain of the raw materials, components and equipment used by the Company in the manufacture of its products are available from single-sourced vendors. Shortages could occur in these essential materials and components due to an interruption of supply or increased demand in the industry. If the Company were unable to procure certain materials, components or equipment at acceptable prices, it would be required to reduce its manufacturing operations, which could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations. In addition, the Company may make prepayments to certain suppliers or enter into minimum volume commitment agreements. Should these suppliers be unable to deliver on their obligations or experience financial difficulty, the Company may not be able to recover these prepayments.

The Company occasionally maintains cash balances in excess of the FDIC insured limit. The Company does not consider this risk to be material.

Commodity price risk

We are exposed to fluctuations in commodity prices for oil and natural gas. Commodity prices are affected by many factors, including but not limited to, supply and demand.

NOTE 17: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company measures and discloses the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy prescribed by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy has three levels, which are based on reliable available inputs of observable data. The hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The three-level hierarchy is defined as follows:

Level 1 – quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

Level 3 – fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable, and amounts due to related parties. The fair value of cash is determined based on Level 1 inputs. There were no transfers into or out of “Level 3” during the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~December 31, 2020~~September 30, 2021 and ~~2019.~~2020. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. The Company records the fair value of the of the warrant derivative liabilities disclosed in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The fair values of the derivatives were calculated using the Black-Scholes Model. The fair value of the derivative liabilities is revalued on each balance sheet date with corresponding gains and losses recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations. The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis as of:

December 31 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Gains and (Losses)
Warrant derivative liabilities - - $ 6,343 $ (15,901 )

NOTE 19: LEASES

The Company has adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as of April 1, 2019 and will account for their leases in terms of the right of use assets and offsetting lease liability obligations under this pronouncement. The Company had had only short-term leases up through the acquisition of Banner Midstream. The Company acquired a right of use asset and lease liability of $731 and $732, respectively on March 27, 2020. The Company recorded these amounts at present value, in accordance with the standard, using discount rates ranging between 2.5% and ~~6.8%~~11.36%. The right of use asset is composed of the sum of all lease payments, at present value, and is amortized straight line over the life of the expected lease term. For the expected term of the lease the Company used the initial terms ranging between 42 and 60 months. Upon the election by the Company to extend the lease for additional years, that election will be treated as a lease modification and the lease will be reviewed for ~~remeasurement.~~re-measurement. This lease will be treated as an operating lease under the new standard. In addition, the Company entered into a new ~~thirty-nine~~39 month operating lease for office space in September 2020, a new 36 month operating lease in March 2021, as well as two new 36 month operating leases in June 2021 which ~~also is~~are all included in the right of use asset and lease liabilities.

The Company has chosen to implement this standard using the modified retrospective model approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment, which does not require the Company to adjust the comparative periods presented when transitioning to the new guidance. The Company has also elected to utilize the transition related practical expedients permitted by the new standard. The modified retrospective approach provides a method for recording existing leases at adoption and in comparative periods that approximates the results of a modified retrospective approach. Adoption of the new standard did not result in an adjustment to retained earnings for the Company.

The Company’s portfolio of leases contains both finance and operating leases that relate primarily to the commodity segment. As of ~~December 31, 2020,~~September 30, 2021, the value of the unamortized lease right of use asset is ~~$960,~~$782, of which ~~$480~~$373 is from financing leases (through maturity at June 30, 2024) and ~~$480~~$409 is from operating leases (through maturity ~~at November 30, 2023)~~in May 31, 2024). As of ~~December 31, 2020,~~September 30, 2021, the Company’s lease liability was ~~$996,~~$809, of which ~~$471~~$366 is from financing leases and ~~$525~~$443 is from operating leases.

Bitstream operations.

~~On August 14, 2020, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company, White River E&P~~Trend Holdings formed four subsidiaries, Bitstream Mining, LLC, a Texas Limited Liability Company (“Bitstream”) on May 16, 2021, REStream Processing LLC, a Texas Limited Liability Corp (“REStream”). on May 16, 2021, Trend Discovery Exploration LLC, a Texas Limited Liability Corp. (“Trend Exploration”) on May 27, 2021, and OTZI, LLC, a ~~wholly-owned subsidiary~~Delaware Limited Liability Corp. (“OTZI”) on September 2, 2021, in addition to Barrier Crest, LLC (“Barrier Crest”) that was acquired along with Trend Capital Management, Inc. (“TCM”) that was acquired by Ecoark on May 31, 2019.
Agora was organized by Ecoark to enter the digital asset mining business. Because of regulatory uncertainty over digital assets being deemed to be securities, Agora’s initial focus is on mining Bitcoin which the SEC administratively determined is not a security. Because of regulatory concerns and the changing regulatory environment, Agora intends to seek opportunities to engage with cryptocurrencies that do not involve the offer or sale of any securities.
The Company intends to issue a stock dividend through a pro rata distribution of Agora’s common stock to Ecoark’s common shareholders and holders of common stock equivalents. Ecoark plans to distribute 80% of the Agora common stock it holds to its shareholders as of a future record date to be determined upon completion of regulatory compliance. Ecoark plans to retain the remaining 20% ownership in Agora on its balance sheet. As a result of the approval by the board of directors of the Company ~~Rabb Resources, LTD.~~to divest Agora, the Company, has accounted for this as a disposal other than by sale. Assets to be disposed of other than by sale should continue to be classified as held and ~~Claude Rabb,~~used until they are disposed of. Upon disposal, the Company must assess whether the disposed of assets qualify for discontinued operations reporting. If so, the Company will apply the presentation and disclosure requirements of ASC 205-20, and if not, the Company will apply the presentation and disclosure requirements of ASC 360-10.
Overview of Agora Digital Holdings, Inc.
The following is a brief overview of each of the principal subsidiaries that the Company operates through Agora, the Company’s newly formed, majority-owned subsidiary.
Bitstream
Bitstream was organized to be our principal cryptocurrency subsidiary. Bitstream has entered into a series of agreements including arranging for a reliable and economical electric power source needed to efficiently mine Bitcoin, ordering miners, housing infrastructure and other infrastructure to mine Bitcoin and locating a third-party hosting service to operate the miners and the service’s more advanced miners. Agora has spent (and agreed to spend) between $12-$14 million in connection with these agreements, not including future revenue sharing. Agora anticipates that the initial miners will begin operating in early November and by late December or January 2022, the Bitmain S19 Pro miners supplied by the hosting service will be operational. As of October 25, 2021, Bitstream had paid unaffiliated third parties a total of $4,755 and was obligated to pay certain of these third parties an additional $8,686.
Bitstream anticipates that they will deploy and operate modularized data centers (facilities) with the sole ~~owner~~purpose of ~~Rabb Resources, LTD. Pursuant~~mining digital assets, with Bitcoin initially as the focus. Agora anticipates powering these data centers by acquiring a long-term power contract to purchase electric power from the electric grid in Texas. Once the business is operational, Bitstream intends to continuously add data center facilities by reinvesting their revenues. All data centers will be remotely managed with onsite personnel for servicing and troubleshooting any operational issues. Bitstream plans to utilize the energy to power its energy intensive operations of digital asset mining. Additionally, if Texas experiences another power shortage during the winter or summer months from extreme weather conditions, Bitstream would be able to arbitrage power at favorable margins. Bitstream will do this by temporarily shutting down their cryptocurrency mining operations and sell their purchased power back to the ~~Asset Purchase Agreement,~~grid at favorable margins. Last winter, during the blackout, the price per kWh exceeded $10 at its peak imbalance, whereas Bitstream’s power cost is expected to be $0.023 per kWh.

Bitstream is expected to be the focal point of the Company’s Agora operations during the next 12 months. For this reason, set forth below is a more detailed overview of Bitstream’s developments, planned operations and the cryptocurrency assets and industry in which it will operate.
Trend Exploration
On July 1, 2021, Trend Exploration acquired oil and gas leases with producing oil wells in Louisiana. Trend Exploration was formed to provide an environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) solution to Bitstream’s need for affordable electric power does not intend to be an oil and gas exploration company. Trend Exploration was assigned an 80% working interest in fourteen wells from White River SPV 2, LLC and White River E&P LLC (“Assignors”) on July 1, 2021. In accordance with ASC 205-20, there is a scope exception for oil and gas properties that use the full-cost method of accounting. Under the full-cost method of accounting, all costs associated with property acquisition, exploration, and development activities are capitalized to cost centers, which are established on a country-by-country basis. The definition of discontinued operations, however, applies to disposals of components of an entity, which is defined as the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. As a result, the definition of discontinued operations will not be operable under the full-cost method of accounting because of differences in the tracking and allocation of costs, which is at a much higher level. The Company ~~completed~~as a result has not reflected the working interest on the fourteen wells in discontinued operations. The Trend Exploration business is identical to the business noted herein for Banner Midstream.
Trend Capital Management
Trend Capital Management was founded in 2011. Trend Capital Management provides services to and collects fees from entities including Trend Discovery LP (“Trend LP”) and Trend Discovery SPV I, LLC (“Trend SPV”), both of which invest in securities. Trend SPV’s only assets are shares of Ecoark. Trend Capital Management neither invests in securities nor have any role in Trend LP and Trend SPV’s purchase of securities. The investment capital in Trend LP and Trend SPV is from individual investors in those firms, and not from Agora.
Barrier Crest
Barrier Crest provides fund administration and fund formation services to institutional investors. Barrier Crest provides fund administration services to Trend LP and Trend SPV. Barrier Crest, provides fund administration and related services for small hedge funds. Trend Discovery Holdings LLC (“Trend Discovery”) owns an entity which is the general partner but not the investment manager of two investment funds. These investment funds own shares of Ecoark and one also owns warrants of Ecoark.
Part of the financial services strategy envisions the acquisition of a broker-dealer to engage in the digital assets markets. As of the date of this Report, we are not negotiating any potential acquisition. We plan to focus on a target as soon as we can.
Cryptocurrency Mining Overview
Distributed blockchain technology is a decentralized or distributed and encrypted ledger that is designed to offer a secure, efficient, verifiable, and permanent way of storing records and other information without the need for intermediaries. Cryptocurrencies serve multiple purposes. They can serve as a medium of exchange, store of value or unit of account. Examples of cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin.
Bitcoin was first introduced in 2008 and was first introduced as a means of exchange in 2009. Bitcoin is a consensus network that enables a new payment system and a completely new form of digital money. It is the first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network that is powered by its users with no central authority or middlemen. From a user perspective, Bitstream believes Bitcoin can be viewed as cash for the Internet. The Bitcoin network shares a public ledger called the “blockchain.” This ledger contains every transaction ever processed, allowing a user’s computer to verify the validity of each transaction. The authenticity of each transaction is protected by digital signatures corresponding to the sending addresses, allowing all users to have full control over sending bitcoins currency rewards from their own bitcoin addresses. In addition, anyone can process transactions using the computing power of specialized hardware and earn a reward in Bitcoins for this service. This process is often called “mining.”
Bitstream plans to mine Bitcoin, and may choose to mine other cryptocurrencies, by acquiring miners to solve complex cryptographic algorithms to support the Bitcoin blockchain (in a process known as “solving a block”). In return for solving a block, Bitstream would receive a Bitcoin.

Bitstream will mine Bitcoin using specialized computer equipment referred to as “miners.” Miners measure their capability in terms of processing power, which is known as in the industry as “hashing” power. Hashing power is measured in terms of the number of hashing algorithms solved (or “hashes”) per second, which is the miner’s “hash rate.” Generally speaking, miners with greater hashing power and in turn a higher hash rate relative to other miners attempting to solve a block have a higher chance of solving the block and receiving a cryptocurrency award. However, although newer generations of miners advertise improved energy efficiency, increasing hash rate generally requires greater electrical power, which increases the cost of solving a block and, therefore, the relative cost of mining a cryptocurrency. As additional miners competed for the limited supply of blocks, individuals found that they were working for months without finding a block and receiving any reward for their mining efforts. To address this variance, miners started organizing into pools to share mining rewards more evenly on a pro rata basis based on total hashing capacity contributed to the mining pool. Bitstream will be participating in a mining pool. As of the date of this report, Bitstream is in the process of paying for and receiving delivery of the necessary infrastructure and equipment to commence mining operations using a total of 42 megawatts (“MW”) of electricity, which through conditional and unconditional rights to two sites in West Texas may be increased to up to 372 MW assuming this can be done so on acceptable terms.
Mining Equipment. In September 2021 Bitstream ordered 5,000 used Canaan Avalon 841 13 TH/s miners for $1,350. Delivery of 2,000 of these miners occurred in October 2021. Bitstream’s plan is to use trailer or shipping container-like units as housing infrastructure to house our miners. Bitstream will either build their own or partner with another third-party vendor to build entry level housing infrastructure to deploy the initial mining equipment in November. In August 2021, Bitstream entered into an agreement with a third party which will supply Bitstream with more advanced housing infrastructure in exchange for approximately $375. Delivery of these enhanced housing infrastructure is expected in late 2021 or early 2022.
In September 2021, Bitstream entered into a binding agreement referred to as a Memorandum of Understanding with Elite Mining Inc. (the “Hosting Company”) that will supply high speed miners, host the Company’s data center and operate the miners it installs. In Phase 1 which is a beta test phase, Bitstream paid $600 to the Hosting Company which will also supply 6 MW capacity’s worth of very high speed and efficient miners by mid-January 2022. Bitstream has an option to purchase these high-speed miners at replacement cost (which may be higher than current cost). The Hosting Company may provide hosting for third parties during Phase 1 which reduces the cash flow for Bitstream. This agreement will also allow Bitstream to utilize a minimum of 25 MW of electricity under the initial power purchase agreement in Phase 2. Bitstream can terminate the hosting agreement as soon as Bitstream has secured sufficient capital to replace the hosted Bitmain S19 Pros with their own. Once Bitstream purchases the high-efficiency miners, the Hosting Company cannot host third parties.
Phase 2 is planned to begin in May 2022 which is subject to Bitstream agreeing to proceed. If Bitstream elects to enter Phase 2, it will be required to loan the Hosting Company the funds to develop a production facility in Texas on terms to be negotiated. Bitstream will have certain ~~assets~~rights to the production facility capacity from Phase 2 and will pay the Hosting Company for its services.
In October 2021 Bitstream secured an additional 30 MWs of ~~Rabb Resources, LTD. The acquired assets consisted~~electrical capacity at a different West Texas location. This supplements the Company’s prior agreement to secure 12 MWs and as a result the Company will have a total of ~~certain real property~~42 MWs of electric power for immediate use and ~~working interests~~benefit to Bitstream. Bitstream also plans to participate in ~~oil~~the Electric Reliability Council of Texas’ (“ERCOT”) responsive reserve market by relinquishing its power back to the Texas grid as power stabilization events are needed. Additionally, Bitstream has procured mining infrastructure to power the 42 MWs and ~~gas mineral leases.~~expects the equipment and infrastructure to be delivered over the next 120 days. This mining infrastructure includes twenty-one 2,600 kilo-volt amp (KVA) or similar transformers and the Company’s first shipment of Bitcoin mining application-specific integrated circuits (“ASIC”). The Company has agreed to pay a total $3,376 for the new equipment and infrastructure as follows: (i) $506 upon the order which has been paid, (ii) $506 by November 11, 2021, and (iii) the remaining $2,364 by December 15, 2021.

In connection with the increase in ~~June 2020 previously provided~~electrical capacity, Bitstream entered into a second binding letter of intent with the power management company pursuant to which the Company has paid a total of $2,955, consisting of a $2,628 development fee and a $327 reimbursement for ~~bridge financing~~payments made by the power management company to ~~Rabb Resources, LTD under~~ the ~~$225 Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note. As consideration for entering into~~electric utility to secure the ~~Asset Purchase Agreement,~~power. In addition, the Company agreed to pay ~~Rabb Resources, LTD. A~~a total of ~~$3,500 consisting~~$450 upon the power management company signing a binding agreement to acquire or lease 20 or more acres of (i) $1,500 in cash, net of $304 in outstanding amounts related to the note receivable and accrued interest receivable, and (ii) $2,000 payable in common stock of the Company, which based on the closing price of the common stockusable land. Bitstream is currently negotiating an agreement for this but as of the date of this Report, no agreement has been executed.
Once the ~~Asset Purchase Agreement equaled 103 shares.~~business is operational, Bitstream intends to continuously add data center platforms by reinvesting cash and potentially utilizing leverage to scale operations. All data centers will be remotely managed with onsite personnel for servicing and troubleshooting any operational issues.
Commodities Segment
For the six and three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company’s consolidated revenues from continuing operations consisted almost exclusively of the revenues from, and most of our expenses were related to, the Commodities segment. In our Commodities segment, our activities are primarily directed at the conventional enhancement and development of all productive formations throughout our Louisiana and Mississippi leasehold positions of over 20,000 acres. We intend to continue to enhance and develop our reserves and increase production through exploration activities on our prolific inventory of potential drilling locations.
Key Terms and Metrics
In connection with the management of our businesses, we identify, measure and assess a variety of operating metrics. In the Commodities segment, the principal metrics we use in managing our businesses are set forth below:
“Bbl” – Bbl means barrel of crude oil. Metric used by management to specify the unit of measure (“in barrels”) from which the Company’s midstream customers use to incrementally purchase oil from the Company. Barrels are used as a unit of measure universally across the oil industry so the Company’s adoption of barrels to measure units of oil is a standard practice.
“Mbbl” – Mbbl means a thousand barrels of oil. See comments on “Bbl” metric. “Mbbl” is a standard for measuring larger quantities of barrels of oil in thousands of units.
“Production (Gross)” – Production (Gross) is defined as barrels of oil produced before accounting for working interests from non-mineral owning parties. Metric used by management to specify the total number of barrels of oil produced from a given oil well. Gross production includes both the barrels owned by the oil and gas mineral owners as well as the drilling and investing group who funded and drilled the well which are considered the working interest owners. Gross production is a standard term used universally across the oil industry, so the Company’s adoption of this term is a standard practice.
“Production (Net)” – Production (Net) is defined as the net barrels of oil produced after deducting the ownership portion owned by the mineral owning parties. Unless otherwise specified, management assumes that the mineral ownership portion of a well is 25%, so a 100% working interest would result in a 75% Net Production or Net Revenue interest after accounting for the ownership portion of oil production owned by the mineral owners.

Segment Reporting for the Six and Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:
Prior to August 26, 2021, the Company operated in three segments. The ~~Company accounted for this acquisition as an asset acquisition under ASC 805~~segments are Financial Services (Trend Holdings), Technology (Zest Labs), and Commodities (Banner Midstream). Effective July 1, 2021, the Company’s chief operating decision makers in discussion with the finance team determined that the Company ~~has early adopted~~will add a fourth reporting segment to account for their Digital Asset mining business. Additionally, beginning on July 1, 2021 the ~~amendments of Regulation S-X dated May 21, 2020~~Company began reporting its home office costs into the Commodity segment, charging its Technology segment a monthly overhead fee, and has ~~concluded that~~recorded typical overhead expenses in their Finance and Digital Asset segments to account for this ~~acquisition was not significant. Accordingly,~~home office allocation.

Key Trends
Commodity Prices
In early March 2020, oil prices dropped sharply and continued to decline, briefly reaching negative levels as a result of multiple factors affecting the ~~amendment,~~supply and demand in global oil and natural gas markets, including (i) actions taken by OPEC members and other exporting nations impacting commodity price and production levels and (ii) a significant decrease in demand due to the ~~presentation~~ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. However, certain restrictions on conducting business that were implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have been lifted as improved treatments and vaccinations for COVID-19 have been rolled-out globally since late 2020. As a result, oil and natural gas market prices have improved in response to the increase in demand and global and United States reductions in drilling.

On October 9, 2020, the Company and White River SPV, entered into a Participation Agreement (the “Participation Agreement”) by and among the Company, White River SPV, BlackBrush Oil & Gas, L.P. (“BlackBrush”) and GeoTerre, LLC, an unrelated privately-held limited liability company (the “Assignor”), to conduct drilling of wells in the Austin Chalk formation.
Pursuant to the Participation Agreement, the Company and White River SPV have agreed, among other things, to fund 100% of the cost, estimated to be approximately $4,700, associated with the drilling and completion of an initial deep horizontal well in the Austin Chalk formation. The Participation Agreement requires the estimated amount of the drilling costs to be paid into a designated escrow account by the commencement of drilling in January 2021. BlackBrush has agreed to assign to the other parties to the Participation Agreement, subject to certain exceptions and limitations specified therein, specified portions of its leasehold working interest in certain Austin Chalk formation units. The Participation Agreement provides for an initial allocation of the working interests and net revenue interests among the assignor, BlackBrush and the Company and then a re-allocation upon payout or payment of drilling and completion costs for each well drilled. Following payout, the Company will own 70% of working interest and 52.5% net revenue interest in each well. BlackBrush also agreed to share with the Company certain seismic information relating to other wells in which the Company has no interests.
The Parties to the Participation Agreement, except for the Company, had previously entered into a Joint Operating Agreement, dated September 4, 2020 (the “Operating Agreement”) establishing an area of mutual interest, including the Austin Chalk formation, and governing the parties’ rights and obligations with respect to drilling, completion and operation of wells therein. The Participation Agreement and the Operating Agreement require, among other things, that White River SPV and the Company drill and complete at least one horizontal Austin Chalk well with a certain minimum lateral each calendar year.

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Participation Agreement, on October 12, 2020 White River SPV entered into an Agreement and Assignment of Oil, Gas and Mineral Lease (the “Lease Assignment”) with the Assignor. Under the Lease Assignment, the Assignor assigned to White River SPV a 100% working interest (75% net revenue interest) in a certain oil and gas lease covering in excess of 400 acres (the “Lease”), and White River SPV paid approximately $600 to the Assignor. White River SPV had previously entered into an agreement with the Assignor for the assignment to White River SPV of a 100% working interest in a certain oil and gas lease covering in excess of 1,600 acres in exchange for $1,500.

~~Impact of COVID-19~~
The recent outbreak of COVID-19, which has been declared by the World Health Organization to be a pandemic, has spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity. The COVID-19 public health epidemic prevented the Company from conducting business activities at full capacity for an indefinite period of time, including due to risk of spread of the disease within these groups or due to shutdowns requested or mandated by governmental authorities.

The CARES Act also established a Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), whereby certain small business are eligible for a loan to fund payroll expenses, rent and related costs. We had received funding under the PPP, and a majority of that as indicated in our ~~Unaudited~~ Consolidated Statement of Operations has been forgiven.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions

~~In reading and understanding~~The critical accounting policies listed below are those the ~~Company’s discussion~~Company deems most important to their operations.
Use of ~~results~~Estimates
The preparation of ~~operations, liquidity and capital resources, one should be aware of key policies, judgments~~consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include, but are ~~important~~not limited to, management’s estimate of provisions required for uncollectible accounts receivable, fair value of assets held for sale and assets and liabilities acquired, impaired value of equipment and intangible assets, including goodwill, asset retirement obligations, estimates of discount rates in lease, liabilities to accrue, fair value of derivative liabilities associated with warrants, cost incurred in the satisfaction of performance obligations, permanent and temporary differences related to income taxes and determination of the fair value of stock awards.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The estimates of proved, probable and possible oil and gas reserves are used as significant inputs in determining the depletion of oil and gas properties and the impairment of proved and unproved oil and gas properties. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation of quantities of proven, probable and possible reserves and in the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Similarly, evaluations for impairment of proved and unproved oil and gas properties are subject to numerous uncertainties including, among others, estimates of future recoverable reserves and commodity price outlooks. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions utilized.

Oil and Gas Properties
The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for its investment in oil and natural gas properties. Under the full cost method of accounting, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves, including directly related overhead costs are capitalized. General and administrative costs related to production and general overhead are expensed as incurred.
All capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, including the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, are amortized on the unit of production method using estimates of proved reserves. Disposition of oil and gas properties are accounted for as a reduction of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized unless such adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in operations. Unproved properties and development projects are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the amount of the loss from operations before income taxes and the adjusted carrying amount of the unproved properties is amortized on the unit-of-production method.
Limitation on Capitalized Costs
Under the full-cost method of accounting, we are required, at the end of each reporting period, to perform a test to determine the limit on the book value of our oil and gas properties (the “Ceiling” test). If the capitalized costs of our oil and natural gas properties, net of accumulated amortization and related deferred income taxes, exceed the Ceiling, the excess or impairment is charged to expense. The expense may not be reversed in future periods, even though higher oil and gas prices may subsequently increase the Ceiling. The Ceiling is defined as the sum of: (a) the present value, discounted at 10% and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions, of (1) estimated future gross revenues from proved reserves, which is computed using oil and gas prices determined as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month hedging arrangements pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 103, less (2) estimated future expenditures (based on current costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves; plus, (b) the cost of properties being amortized; plus, (c) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized; net of (d) the related tax effects related to the ~~portrayal~~difference between the book and tax basis of ~~financial conditions~~our oil and ~~results.~~natural gas properties.
Oil and Gas Reserves
Reserve engineering is a subjective process that is dependent upon the quality of available data and interpretation thereof, including evaluations and extrapolations of well flow rates and reservoir pressure. Estimates by different engineers often vary sometimes significantly. In addition, physical factors such as results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of an estimate, as well as economic factors such as changes in product prices, may justify revision of such estimates. Because proved reserves are required to be estimated using recent prices of the evaluation, estimated reserve quantities can be significantly impacted by changes in product prices.
Inventories
Crude oil, products and merchandise inventories are carried at the lower of cost (last-in-first-out (LIFO)) or net realizable value. Inventory costs include expenditures and other charges directly and indirectly incurred in bringing the inventory to its existing condition and location.
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligation
Asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) primarily represent the estimated present value of the amount the Company will incur to plug, abandon and remediate its producing properties at the projected end of their productive lives, in accordance with applicable federal, state and local laws. The Company ~~has recently entered into~~determined its ARO by calculating the ~~commodity business through~~present value of the estimated cash flows related to the obligation. The retirement obligation is recorded as a liability at its ~~acquisition~~estimated present value as of ~~Banner Midstream.~~ the obligation’s inception, with an offsetting increase to proved properties or to exploration costs in cost of revenues.

Revenue Recognition
The Company ~~has included several new accounting policies related to this segment of this business.~~accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

~~Our revenues~~The Company accounts for a contract when it has been approved and committed to, each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred have been identified, the payment terms have been identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability is probable. Revenue is generally recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from ~~periods prior~~customers and subsequently remitted to ~~fiscal 2020~~governmental authorities.
Revenue recognition for multiple-element arrangements requires judgment to determine if multiple elements exist, whether elements can be accounted for as separate units of accounting, and if so, the fair value for each of the elements.
Revenue from software license agreements of Zest Labs is recognized over time or at a point in time depending on the evaluation of when the customer obtains control of the promised goods or services over the term of the agreement. For agreements where the software requires continuous updates to provide the intended functionality, revenue is recognized over the term of the agreement. For software as a service (“SaaS”) contracts that include multiple performance obligations, including hardware, perpetual software licenses, subscriptions, term licenses, maintenance and other services, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on estimates of the price that would be charged to the customer for each promised product or service if it were ~~generated principally~~sold on a standalone basis. For contracts for new products and services where standalone pricing has not been established, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on estimates using the adjusted market assessment approach, the expected cost plus a margin approach or the residual approach as appropriate under the circumstances. Contracts are typically on thirty-day payment terms from when the Company satisfies the performance obligation in the contract.
Revenue under master service agreements is recorded upon the performance obligation being satisfied. Typically, the satisfaction of the performance obligation occurs upon the frac sand load being delivered to the customer site and this load being successfully invoiced and accepted by the Company’s factoring agent.
The Company recognizes their proportionate share of revenue under ASC 606 when: (i) the Company receives notification of the successful sale of a load of crude oil to a buyer; (ii) the buyer will provide a price based on the average monthly price of crude oil in the most recent month; and (iii) cash is received the following month from the crude oil buyer.
The Company will recognize income from digital currency mining from the provision of transaction services within digital currency networks, commonly termed “cryptocurrency mining”. As consideration for those services, the Company will receive digital currency from each specific network in which it participates (“coins”). Income from digital currency mining is measured based on the fair value of the coins received. The fair value is determined using the spot price of the coin on the date of receipt. The coins are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, as intangible asset – digital currency, at their fair value less costs to sell and re-measured each reporting date, if not sooner. Revaluation gains or losses on the sale of ~~hardware. In~~coins for traditional (fiat) currencies will be included in the ~~nine months ended December 31, 2020, revenues were principally~~consolidated statements of operations in accordance with the Company’s treatment of its digital currencies as a traded commodity.
The Company accounts for contract costs in accordance with ASC Topic 340-40, Contracts with Customers. The Company recognizes the cost of sales of a contract as expense when incurred or at the time a performance obligation is satisfied. The Company recognizes an asset from ~~professional services~~the costs to fulfil a contract only if the costs relate directly to a contract, the costs generate or enhance resources that will be used in satisfying a performance obligation in the future and the costs are expected to be recovered. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are capitalized unless the costs would have been incurred regardless of whether the contract was obtained.
Cost of sales for Pinnacle Frac includes all direct expenses incurred to produce the revenue for the period. This includes, but is not limited to, direct employee labor, direct contract labor and fuel.

Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. ASC 820 classifies these inputs into the following hierarchy:
Level 1 inputs: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 inputs: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3 inputs: Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.
Digital currencies will consist of cryptocurrency denominated assets and will be included in current assets. Digital currencies will be carried at their fair value determined by the spot rate less costs to sell. The digital currency market is still a new market and is highly volatile; historical prices are not necessarily indicative of future value; a significant change in the market prices for digital currencies would have a significant impact on the Company’s earnings and financial position. Fair value will be determined by taking the price of the coins from ~~our financing segment~~the exchanges which the Company most frequently uses.
Digital Currencies
Digital currencies will be included in current assets in the consolidated balance sheets as ~~well as oil and gas services related to our production, transportation and logistics service business contained~~intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Digital currencies are recorded at cost less impairment.
An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in ~~Banner Midstream.~~
~~A significant percentage of our operating expenses results from non-cash share-based compensation,~~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, which is ~~typical~~measured using the quoted price of ~~technology companies as well as costs related to our exploration and driver costs.~~
~~For~~ the ~~share-based compensation, we have granted shares, options and warrants to employees, consultants and investors as incentives to generate success~~digital currency at the time its fair value is being measured. In testing for impairment, the Company ~~instead~~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. To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of ~~making~~the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted future cash ~~payments.~~ flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Segment Information
The ~~accounting calculations for this type~~Company follows the provisions of ~~compensation can be complex and are derived from models like~~ASC 280-10 Segment Reporting. This standard requires that companies disclose operating segments based on the ~~Black-Scholes option pricing model that requires judgment~~manner in which management disaggregates the Company in making ~~assumptions~~internal operating decisions. The Company and ~~developing estimates.~~
We have also invested heavily in research and development expenses. Those investments have required cash payments principally for the development of our software solutions and the testing of those solutions in our labs and on some customer projects. We have not capitalized any ofits chief operating decision makers determined that ~~development effort, so there are no research and development costs to amortize in the future.~~
We have been conservative in our treatment of income taxes. Our historical losses have resulted in net operating losses for tax purposes. Applying accounting policies, we have recorded a “valuation allowance” against both current and future tax benefits of the losses. We will not recognize any benefits until such time as we are assured that we will generate taxable income.

~~RESULTS OF OPERATIONS~~
~~Overview~~
~~The discussion below addresses~~ the Company’s operations ~~and liquidity which were impacted by~~effective with the May 31, 2019, acquisition of Trend Holdings ~~in May 2019~~ and the March 27, 2020 acquisition of Banner Midstream now consist of three segments, Agora (Finance), Banner Midstream (Commodities) and Zest Labs (Technology). Effective July 1, 2021, the Company’s chief operating decision makers in ~~March 2020 as described above.~~discussion with the finance team determined that the Company will add a fourth reporting segment to account for their Digital Asset mining business. Additionally, effective on July 1, 2021 the Company will report its home office costs into the Commodity segment, charge its Technology segment a monthly overhead fee, and has recorded typical overhead expenses in their Finance and Digital Asset segments to account for this home office allocation.

~~Results~~Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. Management evaluates all of ~~Operations~~the Company’s financial instruments, including warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. The Company generally uses a Black-Scholes model, as applicable, to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates when needed. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-measured at the end of each reporting period. The Black-Scholes model is used to estimate the fair value of the derivative liabilities.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contract’s in an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2021, and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04 “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation— Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815- 40) Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options” which clarifies and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. An entity should measure the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as follows: i) for a modification or an exchange that is a part of or directly related to a modification or an exchange of an existing debt instrument or line-of-credit or revolving-debt arrangements (hereinafter, referred to as a “debt” or “debt instrument”), as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged written call option and the fair value of that written call option immediately before it is modified or exchanged; ii) for all other modifications or exchanges, as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the modified or exchanged written call option over the fair value of that written call option immediately before it is modified or exchanged. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the amendments prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

There was a slight decrease in revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $4,325. The increase was primarily due to the addition of the oil and gas operations as the result of the Banner Midstream acquisition on March 27, 2020. Revenues were comprised of $165 and $44 in the financing segment; $0 and $96 in the technology segment; and $4,300 and $0 in the commodity segment forSeptember 30, 2021 versus the three months ended ~~December 31,~~June 30, 2021 due to the sales of certain leases in the three months ended September 30, 2021 as well as slower production in our main producing well.
The increase in oil production during the six months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 ~~and 2019, respectively.~~resulted in $1,291 of the total increase due to more wells operational in 2021 versus 2020. The remaining revenue increase of $870 was due to an increase in oil prices during the six months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020.

Average daily production sold increased by 99 barrels of oil per day (“BOPD”) to 219 BOPD during the six months ended September 30, 2021 from 120 BOPD during the six months ended September 30, 2020.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officers, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

~~During~~There were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended ~~December 31, 2020, we remediated~~September 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our previously identified material weakness. This material weakness related to improper segregation of duties. We addressed our lack of segregation of duties by hiring additional personnel in our accounting and financing departments to ensure that proper controls are adhered to. With the changes in force, we believe that there is effective internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the 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 its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

~~Except as set forth~~Other than discussed below, during the period covered by this ~~Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q~~report, there ~~have been~~were no material ~~changes to~~developments in the ~~description of~~ legal proceedings ~~set forth~~disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

~~On August 1, 2018, the Company~~
● As previously disclosed, on August 1, 2018, Ecoark Holdings, Inc. and Zest Labs, Inc. filed a complaint against Walmart Inc. in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas, Western Division. The complaint includes claims for violation of the Arkansas Trade Secrets Act, violation of the Federal Defend Trade Secrets Act, breach of contract, unfair competition, unjust enrichment, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, conversion and fraud. On April 9, 2021, a Little Rock, Arkansas jury awarded Ecoark and Zest a total of $115 million in damages which includes $65 million in compensatory damages and $50 million in punitive damages and found Walmart Inc. liable on three claims. The federal jury found that Walmart Inc. misappropriated Zest’s trade secrets, failed to comply with a written contract, and acted willfully and maliciously in misappropriating Zest’s trade secrets. We expect Walmart to continue to vigorously defend the litigation and to oppose the verdict in post-trial motions and an appeal. The Company has filed post-trial motions to add an award for their attorneys’ fees as the prevailing party in the litigation. In addition to other post-trial motions, Walmart, Inc. has filed a renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law or, in the alternative, for remittitur or a new trial. As of the date of this Report, the court has not ruled on any of the post-trial motions.
● On September 21, 2021, Ecoark Holdings, Inc. and Zest Labs, Inc. filed a complaint against Deloitte Consulting, LLP (“Deloitte”) in the Eight Judicial District Court in Clark County, Nevada. The complaint alleges violation of the Nevada Uniform Trade Secret Act and in addition to compensatory damages will also be seeking a preliminary and permanent injunction, attorney’s fees, and punitive damages. The damages at issue are in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Zest Labs, Inc. began working with Deloitte in 2016, in a confidential matter in a pilot program that Zest Labs, Inc. had been engaged for by a large customer. Zest Labs, Inc. engaged in significant discussions, presentations, demonstrations, and information downloads with Deloitte who specifically acknowledged that this information was confidential. This complaint is in the very early stages, and the Company cannot reasonably determine the outcome and potential reward at this time.
On July 15, 2021, the Company and its directors entered into a Settlement and Mutual Release resolving the legal fees it agreed to pay when it settled a class action that was settled without any financial consequences other than paying agreed upon legal fees. The Company paid $50 to the Plaintiff’s attorneys.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Investors should review the new risk factors described below involving our planned Agora operations as well as those contained in our prospectus supplement dated August 4, 2021, in addition to those disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021. Amounts in risk factors are not rounded in thousands.
Risks Related to Our Cryptocurrency Mining Business
We lack an operating history in the cryptocurrency mining space, and our new business is subject to a number of significant risks and uncertainties which affect its future viability.
As of September 30, 2021, we have invested approximately $5 million and agreed to invest approximately $9 million towards the development of our new cryptocurrency mining business. That business, Bitstream, has been formed and entered into agreements for equipment and services but has not commenced material cryptocurrency mining operations. In order to proceed, we must install mining infrastructure at our first mining facility which is in Texas and use electric power to mine cryptocurrencies as well as take advantage of future power shortages such as the one that affected Texas this past winter. Among the risks and uncertainties are:
● We have committed to the payment of approximately $3.4 million for electric power by December 2021, which may threaten the profitability of this venture particularly to the extent the price of Bitcoin declines;
● Our team has minimal experience in commercial scale cryptocurrency mining operations;
● We will rely upon a third party to conduct our mining operations and will have very limited control over its operations;
● There are a limited number of available miners and the demand from competitors is fierce;

● Because of supply chain disruptions including those relating to computer chips, we could encounter delivery delays or other difficulties with the purchase, installment and operation of our mining equipment at our facility, which would adversely affect our ability to generate material revenue from our operations;
● There are a growing number of well capitalized cryptocurrency mining companies including some that have agreed to merge with special purpose acquisition companies, which competitors have significant capital resources, a large supply of miners and operators with experience in cryptocurrency mining. For example, in August 2021 Cipher Mining Inc., a large cryptocurrency mining company, entered into a business combination with Good Works Acquisition Corp., a Nasdaq-listed special purpose acquisition vehicle;
● Bans from governments such as China, together with pending legislation in Congress and other regulatory initiatives threaten the ability to use cryptocurrencies as a medium of exchange;
● We may not be able to liquidate our holdings of cryptocurrencies at our desired prices if a precipitous decline in market prices occurs and this could negatively impact our future operations;
● We have not planned to hedge the conversion of any of our sales of cryptocurrencies; and
● Historical performance of cryptocurrencies is not indicative of their future price performance.
For all of these reasons, our cryptocurrency mining business may not be successful.
Because we are subject to risks associated with our need for sufficient real property and a continuous source of significant electric power at economically favorable prices, our current efforts and negotiations for these resources to commence operations at our planned West Texas facilities may ultimately be unsuccessful.
Our planned Bitcoin mining operations require both land on which to install mining equipment and significant amounts of electric power to operate such equipment. We have secured a binding definitive agreement to lease or purchase land to set up mining equipment we have already purchased, and we have committed to paying approximately $3.4 million by December 2021 for the infrastructure and source of 42 MW of electricity needed to operate at the capacity intended at our West Texas facilities; however these high costs and uncertainties may harm our ability to become profitable, particularly if the price of Bitcoin declines. While we have arranged for the delivery of the transformers necessary to use up to 42 MW of electricity, we have conditional and unconditional rights to two sites in West Texas for up to 372 MW, subject to approval by the local government. If we or the third parties with whom we contract fail to obtain, deliver and install the necessary items for the required energy as and when needed and on commercially viable terms, our results of operations and future prospects will be materially adversely affected. There may not be an alternative source of electricity, or the resources needed to access it, and the establishment and growth of our cryptocurrency mining operations may be stifled or hindered as a result.
To the extent we purchase additional miners or acquire new miners which require greater surface areas and/or higher energy inputs, our land and electricity requirements would grow. If we are unable to continue to obtain sufficient electric power to operate our miners on a cost-effective basis, we may not realize the anticipated benefits of our significant capital investments in new miners. Further, if we are unable to locate and acquire new locations to expand our mining operations, our prospects will be hindered. There can be no guarantee that our operational costs will not increase in the future, in which case there can be no assurance that we can obtain the needed energy at acceptable prices, volume and other terms, if at all.

Additionally, our mining operations could be materially and adversely affected by prolonged power outages, and we may have to reduce or cease our operations in the event of an extended power outage, or as a result of the unavailability or increased cost of electric power as occurred in Texas last Winter. While we intend to participate in the responsive reserve program of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas should this issue arise, which could offset some or all of the revenue losses, were this were to occur, our business and results of operations could nonetheless be materially and adversely affected, particularly if the reserve program fails.
Our mining operating costs could outpace our mining revenues, which would continue to put a strain on our business or increase our losses.
Our mining operations will be costly and our expenses may increase in the future. This expense increase may not be offset by a corresponding increase in revenue. Our expenses may be greater than we anticipate, and our investments to make our business more efficient may not succeed and may outpace monetization efforts. For example, we recently agreed to pay approximately $3.4 million for delivery, installment and operation of 42 MW electrical capacity which we may increase in the future. Increases in our costs without a corresponding increase in our revenue would increase our losses and could seriously harm our business and financial performance.
The cost of obtaining new and replacement miners and parts will likely continue to be highly capital intensive which may have a material and adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Our mining operations can only be successful and ultimately profitable if the costs, including hardware and electricity costs, associated with mining Bitcoin are lower than the price of the Bitcoin we mine when we sell them. Our miners and related equipment will be subject to ordinary wear and tear from operation and may also face more significant malfunctions caused by factors which may be beyond our control. For example, certain miner models such as the Bitmain S17 model has displayed glitches and defects in the past, such that many operators were forced to repair or replace them. To launch our cryptocurrency operations, we have acquired 5,000 used Canaan AvalonMiner 841 13 (TH/s) miners. Upon delivery in late 2021, our third-party hosting company will deploy Bitmain S19 Pro miners which we will share. Further, the initial AvalonMiner 841 miners we will use are less effective at mining Bitcoin than the Bitmain S19 Pro miners because they operate at a lower hashrate, meaning our initial revenue will be lower than the potential of our mining facility due to less effective equipment as well as lower electricity access. Therefore, while risk of loss of the initial miners during the facility set up process will be mitigated due to the lower price of such miners, in this case the reduction in revenue potential is the tradeoff. Contingencies such as these are one of the factors that render cryptocurrency mining highly cost intensive and pose a serious potential hindrance on our mining operations and ability to generate revenue or obtain profitability.
Additionally, as the mining technology evolves, we may need to acquire newer models of miners to remain competitive in the market. Over time, we may replace those miners which are no longer functional or efficient or powerful enough with new miners purchased from third-party manufacturers, the cost of which may be higher than what we spent on prior models and/or such that we will need to raise more capital to do so. For instance, the price of Bitcoin miners has historically been somewhat correlated to the price of Bitcoin, which has appreciated in recent years. Depending on the price of new miners and our operational needs at the time we decide to replace miners in the future, we may have to do so at higher costs than we could have previously, which would add to our losses. Alternatively, even absent defects or reductions in computing power, mining machine models are upgraded frequently, and we are and will continue to be subject to either higher competitive pressure as a result or will be forced to expend large amounts of capital to remain competitive and maintain optimal hash rates.
Inevitably, our older miners and related equipment we deploy will need to be repaired or replaced as a product of ordinary wear and tear and depreciation and/or competitive forces in the marketplace or other factors rendering our current miners obsolete. Any upgrading we may need or choose to undertake will require substantial capital investment, and we may face challenges in locating the requisite capital in a timely manner and/or on terms favorable to us or not highly dilutive to our investors. If we are unable to obtain adequate numbers of new and replacement miners in sufficient quantities or without delay, we may be unable to compete in our highly competitive and continuously developing industry. If this happens, we may not be able to mine Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency as efficiently or in sufficient amounts relative to our competition or at all and, as a result, our business and financial results could suffer which could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock.

Governmental action against digital assets and Bitcoin mining may have a materially adverse effect on the industry, and could affect us if widely adopted.
We and the cryptocurrencies on which our operations will depend are and could become subject to bans and other regulations aimed at preventing what are perceived as some of the negative attributes of Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining. For example, on September 24, 2021 China declared all transactions in and mining of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, illegal. While the ultimate long-term effect of this ban remains uncertain, it could significantly hinder our prospects by limiting a large market for cryptocurrencies within a growing economy. In the hours following China’s announcement of the ban, the price of Bitcoin, which is tied to some extent to public perception of its future value as a form of currency, dropped by nearly $4,000. The ban followed piecemeal regulatory action within China against cryptocurrencies, which was due in part to concerns about the potential for manipulative practices and excessive energy consumption. This could demonstrate the beginning of a regional or global regulatory trend in response to these or other concerns surrounding cryptocurrencies, and similar action in a jurisdiction in which we operate or in general could have devastating effects to our operations. If further regulation follows, it is possible that our industry may not be able to adjust to a sudden and dramatic overhaul to our ability to deploy energy towards the operation of mining equipment.
Because we are unable to influence or predict future regulatory actions taken by governments, we may face difficulty monitoring and responding to rapid regulatory developments affecting Bitcoin mining, which may have a materially adverse effect on our industry and, therefore, our business and results of operations. If further regulatory action is taken by governments in the United States ~~District Court for the Eastern District~~or elsewhere, our business may be materially harmed and you could lose some or all of ~~Arkansas, Western Division. The complaint includes claims for violation~~your investment.
Because there are several competitors in our industry that are purchasing mining equipment at scale and due to supply chain disruptions, we may encounter delays or difficulty in us obtaining new miners, which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Many of the ~~Arkansas Trade Secrets Act, violation~~competitors in our industry have also been purchasing mining equipment at scale, which has caused a world-wide shortage of mining equipment and components used to produce them, as well as delayed delivery schedules for new miner purchases. There can be no assurances the mining equipment manufacturers on which we will rely will be able to keep pace with the surge in demand for mining equipment when we obtain, upgrade and/or expand upon our current miners. The supply chain disruptions we are facing may adversely affecting us including the shortages of transformers needed to power our miners. Additionally, the supply of the ~~Federal Defend Trade Secrets Act, breach~~materials used to produce miners, such as the application-specific integrated circuit (“ASIC”) computer chips that are the primary feature in their computing power, may become subject to shortages, which could also either increase the cost beyond what we can reasonably afford or reduce their availability without unreasonable delay or at all. It is uncertain how manufacturers will respond to these trends and whether they can deliver on the schedules promised to any or all of ~~contract, unfair competition, unjust enrichment, breach~~their customers in the future. In the event manufacturers of mining equipment or component parts or materials are not able to keep pace with demand or avoid supply shortages, we may not be able to purchase such products in sufficient quantities, at reasonable prices or on the delivery schedules that meet our business needs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

To the extent that the profit margins of Bitcoin mining operations are not high, Bitcoin mining companies or other participants in the Bitcoin industry are more likely to immediately sell Bitcoins in the market, thereby constraining growth of the ~~covenant~~price of ~~good faith~~Bitcoin that could adversely impact us.
Over the years, Bitcoin mining operations have shifted from individual users mining with computer processors, graphics processing units and ~~fair dealing, conversion~~first-generation ASIC servers to larger enterprises with newer, more “professionalized” sources of processing power which has been predominantly added by “professionalized” mining operations and ~~fraud. The Company~~resulting demand for more professionalized and ~~Zest Labs~~powerful miners having faster hash rates. These professionalized mining operations may use proprietary hardware or sophisticated ASIC machines acquired from ASIC manufacturers. Acquiring this specialized hardware at scale requires the investment of significant up-front capital, and mine operators incur significant expenses related to the operation of this hardware at scale, such as the leasing of operating space, which is often done in data centers or warehousing facilities, obtaining and paying for an electricity supply to run the miners and employing technicians to operate the mining facilities.
As a result, these professionalized mining operations are ~~seeking monetary damages~~of a greater scale than prior miners and ~~other related relief~~have more defined and regular expenses and liabilities. Because these regular expenses and liabilities require professionalized mining operations to maintain profit margins on the sale of Bitcoin, to the extent the price of Bitcoin declines and such profit margin is constrained, such mining companies are incentivized to sell Bitcoin earned from mining operations more rapidly than individual mining companies who in past years were more likely to hold newly mined Bitcoin for longer periods. The immediate selling of newly mined Bitcoin greatly increases the trading volume of Bitcoin, creating downward pressure on the market price of Bitcoin rewards.
The extent to which the value of Bitcoin mined by a professionalized mining operation exceeds the allocable capital and operating costs determines the profit margin of such an operation. A professionalized mining operation may be more likely to sell a higher percentage of its newly mined Bitcoin rapidly if it is ~~deemed proper~~operating at a low profit margin and it may partially or completely cease operations if its profit margin is negative. In a low profit margin environment, a higher percentage could be sold more rapidly, thereby potentially depressing Bitcoin prices. Lower Bitcoin prices could result in further tightening of profit margins for professionalized mining operations creating a network effect that may further reduce the price of Bitcoin until mining operations with higher operating costs become unprofitable forcing them to reduce mining power or cease mining operations temporarily.
Because many of our miners are designed specifically to mine Bitcoin, our future success will depend in large part upon the value of Bitcoin, and any sustained decline in its value could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Our operating results will depend in large part upon the value of Bitcoin because it is the primary cryptocurrency we intend to mine, particularly during the short term. Specifically, our revenues from our Bitcoin mining operations are expected to be based upon two factors: (1) the number of Bitcoin rewards we successfully mine and (2) the value of Bitcoin. This means that our operating results will be subject to swings based upon increases or decreases in the value of Bitcoin. Furthermore, our mining operations will focus primarily on producing Bitcoin (as opposed to other cryptocurrencies), and our current miners will principally utilize an algorithm, referred to as SHA-256, which is designed primarily for mining Bitcoin. We will therefore be unable to use these miners to mine other cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum, because of this algorithm. If other cryptocurrencies overtake Bitcoin in terms of acceptance, the value of Bitcoin could decline. Further, if Bitcoin were to switch its proof of work algorithm from SHA-256 to another algorithm for which our miners would not be suited or if the value of Bitcoin were to decline for other reasons, particularly if such decline were significant or over an extended period of time, we would likely incur very significant costs in retooling or replacing our existing miners with miners better suited for these new protocols and our operating results could be adversely affected. This could result in a material adverse effect on our ability to execute our business strategy, which would harm your investment in us.

Bitcoin is subject to halving, meaning that the Bitcoin rewarded for solving a block will be reduced in the future and its value may not commensurately adjust to compensate us for such reductions, and the overall supply of Bitcoin is finite.
Bitcoin is subject to “halving,” which is the process by which the ~~court. The Company~~Bitcoin reward for solving a block is reduced by 50% for every 210,000 blocks that are solved. This means that the amount of Bitcoin we (or any other mining company) are rewarded for solving a block in the blockchain is permanently cut in half. For example, the latest halving having occurred in May 2020, with a revised payout of 6.25 Bitcoin per block solved, down from the previous reward rate of 12.5 Bitcoin per block solved. There can be no assurance that the price of Bitcoin will sufficiently increase to justify the increasingly high costs of mining for Bitcoin given the halving feature. If a corresponding and proportionate increase in the trading price of these cryptocurrencies does not ~~believe that expenses incurred~~follow these anticipated halving events, the revenue we earn from our mining operations would see a corresponding decrease, which would have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. To illustrate, even if the price of Bitcoin remains at its price as of today, all other factors being equal (including the same number of miners and a stable hash rate) our revenue would decrease substantially upon the next halving.
Further, due to the halving process, unless the underlying code of the Bitcoin blockchain is altered (which may be unlikely given its decentralized nature), the supply of Bitcoin is finite. Once 21 million Bitcoin have been generated by virtue of solving blocks in ~~pursuing~~ the ~~complaint~~blockchain, the network will stop producing more which is not anticipated until 2140. Currently, there are approximately 19 million Bitcoin in circulation representing about 90% of the total supply of Bitcoin under the current source code. For the foregoing reasons, the halving feature exposes us to inherent uncertainty and reliance upon the historically volatile price of Bitcoin, rendering an investment in us particularly speculative, especially in the long-term. If the price of Bitcoin does not significantly increase in value, your investment could become worthless.
Interruptions to Internet access could disrupt our operations, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Our cryptocurrency mining operations will require access to high-speed Internet to be successful. If we lose Internet access for a prolonged period, we may be required to reduce our operations or cease them altogether. A disruption of the Internet may affect the use of cryptocurrencies and subsequently the value of our securities. Generally, cryptocurrencies and our business of mining cryptocurrencies is dependent upon the Internet. A significant disruption in Internet connectivity could disrupt a currency’s network operations until the disruption is resolved and have ~~had a material~~an adverse effect on the price of Bitcoin and our ability to mine Bitcoin. If this occurs, our business and results of operations may suffer, and our investors may be materially and adversely effected.
Bitcoin has forked multiple times and additional forks may occur in the future which may affect the value of Bitcoin held or mined by the Company.
To the extent that a significant majority of users and mining companies on a cryptocurrency network install software that changes the cryptocurrency network or properties of a cryptocurrency, including the irreversibility of transactions and limitations on the mining of new cryptocurrency, the cryptocurrency network would be subject to new protocols and software. However, if less than a significant majority of users and mining companies on the cryptocurrency network consent to the proposed modification, and the modification is not compatible with the software prior to its modification, the consequence would be what is known as a “fork” of the network, with one prong running the pre-modified software and the other running the modified software. The effect of such a fork would be the existence of two versions of the cryptocurrency running in parallel yet lacking interchangeability and necessitating exchange-type transaction to convert currencies between the two forks. Additionally, it may be unclear following a fork which fork represents the original cryptocurrency and which is the new cryptocurrency. Different metrics adopted by industry participants to determine which is the original asset include: referring to the wishes of the core developers of a cryptocurrency, blockchains with the greatest amount of hashing power contributed by miners or validators; or blockchains with the longest chain. A fork in the network of a particular cryptocurrency could adversely affect an investment in our securities or our ability to operate.
Since August 1, 2017, Bitcoin’s blockchain was forked multiple times creating alternative versions of the cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold and Bitcoin SV. The forks resulted in a new blockchain being created with a shared history, and a new path forward. The value of the newly created versions including Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold and Bitcoin SV may or may not have value in the long run and may affect the price of Bitcoin if interest is shifted away from Bitcoin to the newly created cryptocurrencies. The value of Bitcoin after the creation of a fork is subject to many factors including the value of the fork product, market reaction to the creation of the fork product, and the occurrence of forks in the future. As such, the value of Bitcoin could be materially reduced if existing and future forks have a negative effect on Bitcoin’s value.

If we successfully complete the development of our initial facilities, our planned mining operations, including the miners, the housing infrastructure, the land and the facilities as a whole in which our miners will be operated, will be subject to risks related to uninsured losses and potential damage and contingencies for which we may not be adequately prepared.
Our initial mining facilities and any future facilities we may establish will be subject to a variety of risks relating to housing all of our operations, which include keeping expensive revenue-generating equipment at a single physical location. While we intend to obtain insurance covering general liability, it may not cover all potential losses fully or at all. Some of the risks we face are expected to include:
● the possibility of construction or repair defects or other structural damage to the housing infrastructure which we will acquire to house our miners;
● any noncompliance with or liabilities under applicable environmental, health or safety regulations or requirements or building permit requirements;
● any damage resulting from natural disasters, such as tornadoes, fires, floods and windstorms;
● claims by employees and others for injuries sustained at our facility;
● theft, arson or other crimes upon our facility;
● adverse changes in national and local economic and market conditions; and
● the potential for un-insured or underinsured losses.
For example, our facilities could be rendered inoperable, temporarily or permanently, as a result of a fire or other natural disaster or by a terrorist or other attack on a facility. The security and other measures we take to protect against these risks may not be sufficient. Additionally, our mining efforts could be materially adversely affected by a power outage or loss of access to the electrical grid or loss by the grid of cost-effective sources of electric power generating capacity. Given our constant power requirement to operate our miners and generate revenue, it would not be feasible to run miners on back-up power generators in the event of a power outage. In the event of an uninsured or under-insured loss, including a loss in excess of insured limits, at any of the miners in our network, such miners may not be adequately repaired in a timely manner or at all and we may lose some or all of the future revenues which could have otherwise been derived from such miners. To the extent the miners, the housing infrastructure in which they are held, or the land itself is permanently damaged, we may not be able to bear the cost of repair or replacement. Should any of these events transpire, we may not be able to recover, could lose a material amount of potential revenue, and our business and results of operations could be materially harmed as a result.
We will be relying upon a third party to establish and grow our mining efforts and will have limited ability to control their operations.
We have entered into a binding agreement with a third party pursuant to which it will host a third parties’ miners. We will receive a portion of the resulting revenue. Under the agreement, we will also have the ability to purchase the hosted miners in a “virtual swap” transaction wherein we pay for replacement equipment and in turn have the mining revenue from the hosted miners routed to our digital account. Our agreement gives us limited ability to control the initial mining efforts or oversee the operations. Further the equipment to be used will also include new state-of-the art miners using immersion technology to cool the computer hardware. If this technology fails to work as anticipated, it will adversely affect our future operations. Further our agreement provides no remedies, and we may not be successful in proving or collecting any damages.

Because of the reliance on a third-party mining pool service providers for our mining, its operations may have a negative impact on the Company’s ~~net income~~results of operations.
The third-party hosting company will arrange our cryptocurrency mining operations using a mining pool, in which multiple cryptocurrency mining operators agree to join together and if any of them are rewarded Bitcoin for mining a block on the blockchain, the pool participants receive a portion of such reward based on the computing power contributed to mining that block. If we are able to participate in a mining pool, we would receive Bitcoin mining rewards from our mining activity through a third-party mining pool operator. Mining pools allow miners to combine their processing power, increasing their chances of solving a block and getting paid by the network. Should the pool operator’s system suffer downtime due to a cyber-attack, software malfunction or other similar issues, it will negatively impact our ability to mine and receive revenue. Furthermore, we are dependent on the accuracy of the mining pool operator’s record keeping to accurately record the total processing power provided to the pool for a given Bitcoin mining application in order to assess the proportion of that total processing power we provided. We would have limited means of recourse against the mining pool operator if we determine the proportion of the reward paid out to us by the mining pool operator is incorrect, other than leaving the pool. If we are unable to consistently obtain accurate proportionate rewards from our mining pool operators, we may experience reduced reward for our efforts, which would have an adverse effect on our business and operations.
There is a possibility of cryptocurrency mining algorithms transitioning to proof of stake validation and other mining related risks, which could make us less competitive and ultimately adversely affect our business and the value of our stock.
Proof of stake is an alternative method in validating cryptocurrency transactions that is less dependent on the consumption of electricity. Should the algorithm shift from a proof of work validation method to a proof of stake method, mining would likely require less energy, which may render any company that maintains advantages in the current climate (for example, from lower priced electricity, processing, real estate, or hosting) less competitive. We, as a result of our efforts to optimize and improve the efficiency of our Bitcoin mining operations by seeking to acquire low cost, long-term electricity, may be exposed to the risk in the future of losing the relative competitive advantage we may have over some of our competitors as a result, and may be negatively impacted if a switch to proof of stake validation were to occur. This is because we have invested heavily in setting up our facility based on the mining algorithms method of validation. Such events could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or results of operations, the value of Bitcoin and your investment in us.
We may be accused of infringing intellectual property rights of third parties.
We may be subject to legal claims of alleged infringement of the intellectual property rights of third parties. Due to the open-source and constantly evolving nature of businesses involving digital assets such as cryptocurrencies, we may not always be able to determine that we are using or accessing protected information or software. For example, there could be issued patents of which we are not aware that our activities or the equipment or software we use may infringe. The ready availability of damages, royalties and the potential for injunctive relief has increased the defense litigation costs of patent infringement claims, especially those asserted by third parties whose sole or primary business is to assert such claims. Such claims, even if not meritorious, may result in significant expenditure of financial and managerial resources, and the payment of damages or settlement amounts. Additionally, we may become subject to injunctions prohibiting us from using software or business processes we currently use or may need to use in the future or requiring us to obtain licenses from third parties when such licenses may not be available on financially feasible terms or terms acceptable to us or at all. In addition, we may not be able to obtain on favorable terms, or at all, licenses or other rights with respect to intellectual property we do not own in providing ecommerce services to other businesses and individuals under commercial agreements.
Because of our focus on Bitcoin mining, particularly during the short-term, the trading price of shares of our common stock may increase or decrease with the trading price of Bitcoin, which subjects investors to pricing risks, including “bubble” type risks, and volatility.
Because of our dependence on Bitcoin, particularly in our early stages, the trading prices of our common stock may at times be tied to the trading prices of Bitcoin. Specifically, we may experience adverse effects on our stock price when the value of Bitcoin drops. Furthermore, if the market for Bitcoin mine operators’ stocks or the stock market in general experiences a loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, operating results or financial ~~condition~~condition. The trading price of our common stock could be subject to arbitrary pricing factors that are not necessarily associated with traditional factors that influence stock prices or the value of non-cryptocurrency assets such as revenue, cash flows, profitability, growth prospects or business activity since the value and price, as determined by the investing public, may be influenced by uncertain contingencies such as future anticipated adoption or appreciation in value of cryptocurrencies or blockchains generally, and other factors over which we have little or no influence or control.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency market prices, which have historically been volatile and are impacted by a variety of factors (including those discussed below), are determined primarily using data from various exchanges, over-the-counter markets and derivative platforms. Furthermore, such prices may be subject to factors such as those that impact commodities, more so than business activities, which could be subjected to additional influence from fraudulent or illegitimate actors, real or perceived scarcity, and political, economic, regulatory or other conditions. Pricing may be the result of, and may continue to result in, speculation regarding future appreciation in the value of cryptocurrencies, or our share price, making their market prices more volatile or creating “bubble” type risks for the ~~fiscal~~trading price of Bitcoin.
During the year ended ~~March~~December 31, 2020, the trading price of Bitcoin appreciated significantly, from a low closing value of approximately $5,000 per Bitcoin in March 2020, to a high closing value of approximately $29,400 per Bitcoin in December 2020. During 2021, the trading price of Bitcoin has been volatile with a high of $66,999 as of October 19, 2021 and lows of $33,077.43 as of July 12, 2021 and $35,513 as of February 2, 2021. As of November 1, 2021, the price was $61,482.70. This volatility was reflected on September 24, 2021 when at 1:30 pm Eastern Time the price of Bitcoin was approximately $41,151, down almost $4,000 from earlier in the day following news of China’s blanket ban on cryptocurrencies. In 2017, the trading price of Bitcoin increased to nearly $20,000 per Bitcoin (then an all-time high), only to decline significantly and sharply to a low of approximately $3,400 per Bitcoin in December 2018. There can be no assurances that similar fluctuations in the trading price of Bitcoin will not occur in the future. Accordingly, since our revenue will depend on the price of Bitcoin, and the trading price of our securities may therefore at times be connected to the trading price of Bitcoin, if the trading price of Bitcoin again experiences a significant decline, we could experience a similar decline in revenue and/or in the trading price for shares of our common stock. If this occurs, you may lose some or all of your investment.
The markets for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and the existing markets may be under-regulated and, as a result, the market price of Bitcoin may be subject to significant volatility or manipulation, which could decrease consumer confidence in cryptocurrencies and have a materially adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Cryptocurrencies that are represented and trade on a ledger-based platform and those who hold them may not enjoy the same benefits as traditional securities available on trading markets and their investors. Stock exchanges have listing requirements and vet issuers, requiring them to be subjected to rigorous listing standards and rules, and monitor investors transacting on such platform for fraud and other improprieties. These conditions may not necessarily be replicated on a distributed ledger platform, depending on the platform’s controls and other policies. The more lax a distributed ledger platform is about vetting issuers of cryptocurrency assets or users that transact on the platform, the higher the potential risk for fraud or the manipulation of the ledger due to a control event. We believe that Bitcoin is not a security under federal and state law. This eliminates an ability to police fraud.
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency market prices have historically been volatile, are impacted by a variety of factors, and are determined primarily using data from various exchanges, over-the-counter markets and derivative platforms. Furthermore, such prices may be subject to factors such as those that impact commodities, more so than business activities, which could be subjected to additional influence from fraudulent or illegitimate actors, real or perceived scarcity, and political, economic, regulatory or other conditions. Pricing may be the result of, and may continue to result in, speculation regarding future appreciation in the value of cryptocurrencies, or our share price, making their market prices more volatile or creating “bubble” type risks for both Bitcoin and shares of our common stock.

These factors may inhibit consumer trust in and market acceptance of cryptocurrencies as a means of exchange which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, or operations and potentially the value of any ~~individual fiscal quarter. On October 22, 2018,~~Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies we mine or otherwise acquire.
The development and acceptance of cryptographic and algorithmic protocols governing the ~~Court~~issuance of and transactions in cryptocurrencies is subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate.
The use of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, to, among other things, buy and sell goods and services and complete transactions, is part of a new and rapidly evolving industry that employs cryptocurrency assets based upon a computer-generated mathematical and/or cryptographic protocol. Large-scale acceptance of cryptocurrencies as a means of payment has not, and may never, occur. The growth of this industry in general, and the use of Bitcoin in particular, is subject to a high degree of uncertainty, and the slowing or stopping of the development or acceptance of developing protocols may occur unpredictably. The factors include, but are not limited to:
● the progress of worldwide growth in the adoption and use of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as a medium of exchange;
● the experience of businesses in using Bitcoin;
● the impact from prominent business leaders in criticizing Bitcoin’s potential harm to the environment and the effect of announcements critical of Bitcoin as occurred with Elon Musk of Tesla;
● governmental and organizational regulation of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and their use, or restrictions on or regulation of access to and operation of the network or similar cryptocurrency systems (such as the recent ban in China);
● changes in consumer demographics and public tastes and preferences, including as may result from coverage of Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies by journalists and other sources of information and media;
● the maintenance and development of the open-source software protocol of the network;
● the increased consolidation of contributors to the Bitcoin blockchain through mining pools and scaling of mining equipment by well-capitalized market participants;
● the availability and popularity of other forms or methods of buying and selling goods and services, including new means of using fiat currencies;
● the use of the networks supporting Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies for developing smart contracts and distributed applications;
● general economic conditions and the regulatory environment relating to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies; and
● the impact of regulators focusing on cryptocurrencies and the costs associated with such regulatory oversight.
● A decline in the popularity or acceptance of the Bitcoin network could adversely affect an investment in us.
The outcome of these factors could have negative effects on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue our business strategy at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations as well as potentially negative effects on the value of any Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies we mine or otherwise acquire, which would harm investors in our securities. If Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies we mine do not gain widespread market acceptance or accrete in value over time, our prospects and your investment in us would diminish.
Banks and financial institutions may not provide banking services, or may cut off services, to businesses that engage in cryptocurrency-related activities.
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 in response to government action, particularly in China, where regulatory response to cryptocurrencies has been to initially exclude their use for ordinary consumer transactions within China and later to deem all cryptocurrency-related transactions illegal in September 2021. The difficulty that many businesses that provide Bitcoin and/or derivatives on other cryptocurrency-related activities have and may continue to have in finding banks and financial institutions willing to provide them services may be decreasing the usefulness of cryptocurrencies as a payment system and harming public perception of cryptocurrencies and could decrease their usefulness and harm their public perception in the future.

The usefulness of cryptocurrencies as a payment system and the public perception of cryptocurrencies could be damaged if banks or financial institutions were to close the accounts of businesses engaging in Bitcoin and/or other cryptocurrency-related activities. This could occur as a result of compliance risk, cost, government regulation or public pressure. The risk applies to securities firms, clearance and settlement firms, national stock and derivatives on commodities exchanges, the over-the-counter market, and the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), which, if any of such entities adopts or implements similar policies, rules or regulations, could negatively affect our relationships with financial institutions and impede our ability to convert cryptocurrencies to fiat currencies. Such factors could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to monetize our mining efforts, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and harm investors.
Political or economic crises may motivate large-scale sales of cryptocurrencies, which could result in a reduction in values of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and adversely affect an investment in us.
Geopolitical crises may motivate large-scale sales of cryptocurrencies, which could rapidly decrease the price of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. Alternatively, as an emerging asset class with limited acceptance as a payment system or commodity, global crises and general economic downturn may discourage investment in cryptocurrencies as investors focus their investment on less volatile asset classes as a means of hedging their investment risk.
As an alternative to fiat currencies that are backed by central governments, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, which are relatively new, are subject to supply and demand forces based upon the desirability of an alternative, decentralized means of buying and selling goods and services, and it is unclear how such supply and demand will be impacted by geopolitical events. Nevertheless, political or economic crises may motivate large-scale acquisitions or sales of cryptocurrencies either globally or locally. Large-scale sales of cryptocurrencies would result in a reduction in cryptocurrency values and could adversely affect an investment in us.
The decentralized nature of cryptocurrency systems may lead to slow or inadequate responses to crises, which may negatively affect our business.
The decentralized nature of the governance of cryptocurrency systems may lead to ineffective decision making that slows development or prevents a network from overcoming emergent obstacles. Governance of many cryptocurrency systems is by voluntary consensus and open competition with no clear leadership structure or authority. To the extent lack of clarity in corporate governance of cryptocurrency systems leads to ineffective decision making that slows development and growth of such cryptocurrencies, the value of our common stock may be adversely affected.
The emergence of competing blockchain platforms or technologies may harm our business as presently conducted.
If blockchain platforms or technologies which compete with Bitcoin and its blockchain, including competing cryptocurrencies which our miners may not be able to mine, such as cryptocurrencies being developed or may be developed by popular social media platforms, online retailers, or government sponsored cryptocurrencies, consumers may use such alternative platforms or technologies. If that were to occur, we would face difficulty adapting to emergent such digital ledgers, blockchains, or alternative platforms, cryptocurrencies or other digital assets. This may adversely affect us by preventing us from realizing the anticipated profits from our investments and forcing us to expend additional capital in an effort to adapt. Further, to the extent we cannot adapt, be it due to our specialized miners or otherwise, we could be forced to cease our mining or other cryptocurrency-related operations. Such circumstances would have a material adverse effect on our business, and in turn investors’ investments in our securities.
Cryptocurrencies face significant scaling obstacles that can lead to high fees or slow transaction settlement times.
Cryptocurrencies face significant scaling obstacles that can lead to high fees or slow transaction settlement times, and attempts to increase the volume of transactions may not be effective. Therefore, scaling cryptocurrencies will be essential to the widespread acceptance of cryptocurrencies as a means of payment, which widespread acceptance is necessary to the continued growth and development of our business. Many cryptocurrency networks face significant scaling challenges, such as limitations on how many transactions can occur per second. There can be no guarantee that any of the systems in place or being considered to increasing the scale of settlement of cryptocurrency transactions will be effective, or how long they will take to become effective, which could adversely affect an investment in our securities.

The price of cryptocurrencies may be affected by the sale of such cryptocurrencies by other vehicles investing in cryptocurrencies or tracking cryptocurrency markets.
The global market for cryptocurrency is characterized by supply constraints that differ from those present in the markets for commodities or other assets such as gold and silver. The mathematical protocols under which certain cryptocurrencies are mined permit the creation of a limited, predetermined amount of digital currency, while others have no limit established on total supply. Increased numbers of miners and deployed mining power globally will likely continue to increase the available supply of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which may depress their market price. Further, large “block sales” involving significant numbers of Bitcoin following appreciation in the market price of Bitcoin may also increase the supply of Bitcoin available on the market, which, without a corresponding increase in demand, may cause its price to fall. Additionally, to the extent that other vehicles investing in cryptocurrencies or tracking cryptocurrency markets form and come to represent a significant proportion of the demand for cryptocurrencies, large redemptions of the securities of those vehicles and the subsequent sale of cryptocurrencies by such vehicles could negatively affect cryptocurrency prices and therefore affect the value of the cryptocurrency inventory we hold. Such events could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies we mine.
The Bitcoin we mine may be subject to loss, damage, theft or restriction on access.
There is a risk that some or all of the Bitcoin we mine could be lost or stolen. In general, cryptocurrencies are stored in cryptocurrency sites commonly referred to as “wallets” by holders of cryptocurrencies which may be accessed to exchange a holder’s cryptocurrency assets. Access to our Bitcoin could also be restricted by cybercrime (such as a denial of service attack). While we plan to take steps to attempt to secure the Bitcoin we hold, there can be no assurance our efforts to protect our cryptocurrencies will be successful.
Hackers or malicious actors may launch attacks to steal, compromise or secure cryptocurrencies, such as by attacking the cryptocurrency network source code, exchange miners, third-party platforms, cold and hot storage locations or software, or by other means. Any of these events may adversely affect our operations and, consequently, our ability to generate revenue and become profitable. The loss or destruction of a private key required to access our digital wallets may be irreversible and we may be denied access for all time to our Bitcoin holdings. Our loss of access to our private keys or our experience of a data loss relating to our digital wallets could adversely affect our business.
Cryptocurrencies are controllable only by the possessor of both the unique public and private keys relating to the local or online digital wallet in which they are held, which wallet’s public key or address is reflected in the network’s public blockchain. We will be required to publish the public key relating to digital wallets in use when we verify the receipt of transfers and disseminate such information into the network, but we will need to safeguard the private keys relating to such digital wallets. To the extent such private keys are lost, destroyed or otherwise compromised, we will be unable to access our Bitcoin rewards and such private keys may not be capable of being restored by any network. Any loss of private keys relating to digital wallets used to store our mined Bitcoin could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and ability to continue as a going concern, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any Bitcoin we mine. For example, the New York Times reported in January 2021 that about 20% of existing Bitcoin appears to be “lost” due to password issues.

Incorrect or fraudulent cryptocurrency transactions may be irreversible.
Cryptocurrency transactions are irrevocable and stolen or incorrectly transferred cryptocurrencies may be irretrievable. As a result, any incorrectly executed or fraudulent cryptocurrency transactions, such as a result of a cybersecurity breach against our Bitcoin holdings, could adversely affect our investments and assets. This is because cryptocurrency transactions are not, from an administrative perspective, reversible without the consent and active participation of the recipient of the cryptocurrencies from the transaction. Once a transaction has been verified and recorded in a block that is added to a blockchain, an incorrect transfer of a cryptocurrency or a theft thereof generally will not be reversible and we may not have sufficient recourse to recover our losses from any such transfer or theft. Further, it is possible that, through computer or human error, or through theft or criminal action, our cryptocurrency rewards could be transferred in incorrect amounts or to unauthorized third parties, or to uncontrolled accounts. If an errant or fraudulent transaction in our Bitcoin were to occur, we would have very limited means of seeking to reverse the transaction or seek recourse. To the extent that we are unable to recover our losses from such action, error or theft, such events could have a material adverse effect on our business.
If a malicious actor or botnet obtains control of more than 50% of the processing power on a cryptocurrency network, such actor or botnet could manipulate blockchains to adversely affect us, which would adversely affect an investment in us or our ability to operate.
If a malicious actor or botnet (a volunteer or hacked collection of computers controlled by networked software coordinating the actions of the computers) obtains a majority of the processing power dedicated to mining a cryptocurrency, it may be able to alter blockchains on which transactions of cryptocurrency reside and rely by constructing fraudulent blocks or preventing certain transactions from completing in a timely manner, or at all. The malicious actor or botnet could control, exclude or modify the ordering of transactions, though it could not generate new units or transactions using such control. The malicious actor could “double-spend” its own cryptocurrency (i.e., spend the same Bitcoin in more than one transaction) and prevent the confirmation of other users’ transactions for as long as it maintained control. To the extent that such malicious actor or botnet does not yield its control of the processing power on the network or the cryptocurrency community does not reject the fraudulent blocks as malicious, reversing any changes made to blockchains may not be possible. The foregoing description is not the only means by which the entirety of blockchains or cryptocurrencies may be compromised but is only an example.
Although there are no known reports of malicious activity or control of blockchains achieved through controlling over 50% of the processing power on the network, it is believed that certain mining pools may have exceeded the 50% threshold in Bitcoin. The possible crossing of the 50% threshold indicates a greater risk that a single mining pool could exert authority over the validation of Bitcoin transactions. To the extent that the Bitcoin community, and the administrators of mining pools, do not act to ensure greater decentralization of Bitcoin mining processing power, the feasibility of a botnet or malicious actor obtaining control of the blockchain’s processing power will increase, because such botnet or malicious actor could more readily infiltrate and seize control over the blockchain by compromising a single mining pool, if the mining pool compromises more than 50% of the mining power on the blockchain, than it could if the mining pool had a smaller share of the blockchain’s total hashing power. Conversely, if the blockchain remains decentralized it is inherently more difficult for the botnet or malicious actor to aggregate enough processing power to gain control of the blockchain. If this were to occur, the public may lose confidence in the Bitcoin blockchain, and blockchain technology more generally. This would likely have a material and adverse effect on the price of Bitcoin, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial results and operations, and harm investors.

If the Bitcoin rewards for solving blocks are not sufficiently high, miners may not have adequate incentive to continue mining and may cease mining operations, which may make the blockchains they support with their mining activity less stable.
As the number of cryptocurrency rewards awarded for solving a block in a blockchain decreases, the relative cost of producing a single cryptocurrency will also increase, unless there is a corresponding increase in demand for that cryptocurrency. Even relatively stable demand may not be sufficient to support the costs of mining, because as new miners begin working to solve blocks, the relative amount of energy expended to obtain a cryptocurrency award will tend to increase. This increased energy directly relates to an increased cost of mining, which means an increased cost of obtaining a cryptocurrency award. This increased cost, if not met with a corresponding increase in the market price for the cryptocurrency resulting from increased scarcity and demand, may lead miners, such as us, to conclude they do not have an adequate incentive to continue mining and, therefore, may cease their mining operations. This could in turn reduce the sustainability of the Bitcoin blockchain, which is dependent upon continued mining to solve the block’s algorithms and process transactions in Bitcoin. If this were to occur, your investment in us could become worthless.
Current interpretations require the regulation of Bitcoin under the Commodity Exchange Act by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and we may be required to register and comply with such regulations.    Any disruption of our operations in response to the changed regulatory circumstances may be at a time that is disadvantageous to investors.
Current and future legislation, regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”) and other regulatory developments, including interpretations released by a regulatory authority, may impact the manner in which Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are treated for classification and clearing purposes. In particular, derivatives on these assets are not excluded from the definition of “commodity future” by the CFTC. We cannot be certain as to how future regulatory developments will impact the treatment of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies under the law.
Bitcoins have been deemed to fall within the definition of a commodity and, we may be required to register and comply with additional regulation under the Commodity Exchange Act, including additional periodic report and disclosure standards and requirements. Moreover, we may be required to register as a commodity pool operator and to register us as a commodity pool with the CFTC through the National Futures Association. Such additional registrations may result in extraordinary, non-recurring expenses, thereby materially and adversely impacting an investment in us. If we determine not to comply with such additional regulatory and registration requirements, we may seek to cease certain of our operations. Any such action may adversely affect an investment in us.
Additionally, governments may develop and deploy their own blockchain-based digital assets, which may have a material adverse impact on Bitcoin’s price and utility.
New Risks Relating to our Energy Business
Risks arising from the threat of climate change and the legislation, regulations or government actions related to climate change, greenhouse gas emissions and sustainability initiatives, could result in increased compliance and operating costs.
Since he took office in January 2021, President Biden has signed a series of executive orders seeking to adopt new regulations to address climate change and to suspend, revise, or rescind certain prior agency actions which were part of the Trump Administration’s de-regulatory push, and the Biden Administration is expected to continue to aggressively seek to regulate the energy industry and seek to eliminate in time the use of fossil fuels. Among other things, in January 2021, President Biden issued an executive order ~~initially setting a trial date of June 1, 2020, which has been delayed due~~calling for methane emissions regulations to ~~COVID-19. The trial date has been rescheduled~~be reviewed and for the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) to ~~March 29, 2021.~~

On ~~January 15,~~September 17, 2021, ~~Simon Abrahms filed a notice of dismissal without prejudice of the class action lawsuit which was filed~~President Biden pledged to reduce global methane emissions in the United States ~~District Court of~~by at least 30% below 2020 levels by 2030.
Further, in November 2021 the ~~District of Nevada~~EPA released new proposed methane rules which would impose regulations on ~~November 9, 2020 against~~methane release at existing wells nationwide. These new rules, among other things, would implement a comprehensive monitoring program to require oil and gas companies to find and fix leaks. Additionally, the ~~Company~~new rules would require well operators to place gas that is produced in a pipeline to be sold when possible, to prevent wasting the gas, which could force us or well operators on which we rely to sell the gas at lower prices and ~~members of its Board of Directors. This lawsuit~~thereby reduce our revenues. The EPA is ~~discussed~~expected to issue a supplemental proposal in ~~more detail~~2022 in the ~~Company’s revised definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed on December 11, 2020.

~~See risk factors included in the registration statement on Form S-3 filed on October 16, 2020, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on December 22, 2020 and Amendment No. 2 filed on December 28, 2020,~~existing regulations and the ~~prospectus supplement filed~~adoption and implementation of new regulations related to climate change could require us to incur material costs to monitor and report on ~~December 30, 2020.~~greenhouse gas emissions or install new equipment to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases associated with our operations, which may require us to divert significant capital and human resources, result in a reduction of revenue, or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Because we have not proven the viability of using flared natural gas as a solution to lower the costs of generating electricity, the operations of Trend Exploration may not be a successful adjunct to our Bitstream mining business.
Trend Discovery formed Trend Exploration in order to explore using flared natural gas as a solution to lower the costs of power generation for Bitcoin mining. Oil production involves the discharge of excess natural gas near the wellhead in areas where it is not economical to transport the natural gas. Flared natural gas involves the burning of this natural gas. We believe that if we can harness enough stranded natural gas, it can reduce our power costs and reduce the environmental effects from the discharge and burning of this natural gas. We have been exploring the feasibility of this process and seeking a sufficient supply to meet our needs. While our management is optimistic that we have an economically viable solution, we may not be successful in either obtaining an adequate supply of natural gas or generating enough power at costs which meet our needs.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On November 16, 2020, the Company issued to Randy May, the Chief Executive Officer, one share of the newly designated Series A-1 Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”) in exchange for one dollar. The issuance of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock was exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.Not applicable.

On November 27, 2020, the one share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock was redeemed. After the redemption, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada a Certificate of Withdrawal with respect to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, which was effective upon filing.
