Business Highlights

• Revenue Segments: The company generates revenue from three primary sources: datacenter hosting, cryptocurrency mining, and power and capacity sales. Datacenter hosting accounted for 50% of total revenue, cryptocurrency mining for 32%, and power and capacity for 18% in 2024.
• Geographical Performance: The company operates a vertically integrated cryptocurrency datacenter and power generation facility in Torrey, New York, and expanded operations to Columbus, Mississippi, with additional capacity in North Dakota. The New York Facility is a key asset, providing behind-the-meter power generation.
• Sales Units: The company's datacenter operations consist of approximately 30,700 miners with a combined capacity of approximately 3.3 EH/s, split between datacenter hosting (1.8 EH/s) and cryptocurrency mining (1.5 EH/s).
• New Product Launches: In July 2024, the company launched the Pod X portable cryptocurrency mining infrastructure solution, which is deployed at facilities across the United States.
• New Production Launches: In 2024, the company expanded operations by purchasing 12 acres of land in Columbus, Mississippi, with 73,000 square feet of industrial warehouse space, providing access to an additional 32.5 MW of power capacity.
• Future Outlook: The company is focused on growth opportunities related to acquiring properties with low-cost power, developing AI/GPU data centers, and expanding bitcoin mining and hosting services. The company is also pursuing the acquisition of additional properties for efficient expansion of AI/GPU data centers and/or bitcoin mining facilities.

Strategic Initiatives

• The company has focused on transitioning its operations towards datacenter hosting and cryptocurrency mining, with a significant shift in strategy marked by the sale of its South Carolina Facility. This move is part of a broader initiative to streamline operations and focus on its core competencies in cryptocurrency mining and datacenter hosting.
• Additionally, the company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd., raising $6.0 million to support its strategic initiatives.
• The company has engaged in several capital management activities, including the issuance of shares and warrants to Armistice Capital, which provided $6.0 million in net proceeds. It also entered into privately negotiated exchange agreements, issuing shares of Class A common stock in exchange for principal amounts of its Senior Notes, effectively reducing its debt obligations.
• Furthermore, the company has been actively managing its liquidity through the sale of assets, such as the South Carolina Facility, and plans to sell additional land to improve its financial position.
• Looking ahead, the company plans to continue improving its liquidity by closing the sale of a 152-acre property, which is expected to generate $12.1 million in cash and an 8% profit participation in the property's planned data center. The company is also considering various strategies to address long-term debt obligations, including potential repurchases or exchanges of outstanding debt.
• Additionally, the company aims to leverage its existing cash, digital assets, and operational cash flows to sustain its operations and meet financial commitments over the next 12 months, contingent on favorable bitcoin mining economics.

Challenges and Risks

• The company faces significant financial risks due to its current projected operating cash flows being insufficient to meet long-term debt obligations. This situation makes investment in the company's common stock highly speculative, with potential for total loss.
• The company's financial stability is heavily dependent on the price of bitcoin, cost of electricity, and natural gas, which are volatile and subject to market fluctuations. Additionally, the company is exposed to customer concentration risk, relying heavily on a single hosting services customer, which poses a risk of nonperformance.
• The cryptomining industry, in which the company operates, is subject to various external risks, including regulatory changes, market volatility, and technological advancements. The recent halving of bitcoin rewards and potential future halvings could reduce mining incentives, impacting revenue.
• The company also faces operational risks related to the development and expansion of datacenter sites, which may be delayed due to regulatory and local community challenges.
• Environmental liabilities are a significant concern, with the company facing substantial costs related to compliance with existing and new environmental laws. The revised CCR regulations and potential future EPA actions could impose additional compliance costs. Legal proceedings and potential liabilities from environmental conditions at acquired facilities further exacerbate these risks.
• Management acknowledges the challenges posed by the volatile nature of the bitcoin market and the company's reliance on a single power generation facility. The company is actively seeking to improve liquidity through various measures, including debt restructuring and asset sales. However, there is no assurance of success, and the company may need to raise additional capital, which could result in dilution of existing stockholders' interests.
• The company is also addressing operational risks by monitoring cash balances and expense levels closely. However, significant expense increases not offset by revenue growth could negatively impact financial performance. The company is exploring potential acquisitions to grow its business, but integration challenges and increased competition for attractive targets pose additional risks.
• The company is exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in bitcoin prices, energy costs, and regulatory changes. The volatility in these areas could significantly impact the company's financial results. Additionally, geopolitical and economic events, such as the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, could further exacerbate market volatility and impact the company's operations.
