The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries. Consolidated subsidiaries results are included from the date the subsidiary was formed or acquired. Noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries in the consolidated financial statements represent non-controlling stockholders' proportionate share of the operations in such subsidiaries. Intercompany investments, balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s consolidated operating subsidiaries include the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Company's interest in Highland Digital Holdings LLC, and the Company's majority interests in Sai Foundry Computing LLC, as well as 1.21 Gigawatts LLC.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements are:

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. Our cash equivalents in excess of federally insured limits potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, although we believe they are subject to minimal risk.

The Company has restricted cash related to its letters of credit totaling $14.6 million. The Company is required to keep these balances in separate accounts for the duration of the letter of credit agreements, which last through the first quarter of calendar 2024. The following tables reconciles cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash to presentation on the balance sheet as of May 31, 2023, and May 31, 2022.


(in thousands)	May 31, 2023		May 31, 2022
Cash and cash equivalents	$	28,999	$	38,798
Restricted cash included in prepaid expenses and other current assets	14,575		—
Restricted cash included in other assets	—		7,501
Total Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash	$	43,574	$	46,299

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to operations as incurred, whereas significant improvements that extend the life of an asset are capitalized.

The Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of the arrangement. If a lease is determined to exist, the term of such lease is assessed based on the date on which the underlying asset is made available for the Company’s use by the lessor. The Company’s assessment of the lease term reflects the non-cancelable term of the lease, inclusive of any rent-free periods and/or periods covered by early-termination options which the Company is reasonably certain of not exercising, as well as periods covered by renewal options which the Company is reasonably certain of exercising. The Company also determines lease classification as either operating or finance at lease commencement, which governs the pattern of expense recognition and the presentation reflected in the consolidated statements of operations over the lease term.

For leases with a term exceeding 12 months, a lease liability is recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at lease commencement reflecting the present value of its fixed minimum payment obligations over the lease term. A corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) asset equal to the initial lease liability is also recorded, adjusted for any prepaid rent and/or initial direct costs incurred in connection with execution of the lease and reduced by any lease incentives received. For purposes of measuring the present value of its fixed payment obligations for a given lease, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, determined based on information available at lease commencement, as rates implicit in its leasing arrangements are typically not readily determinable. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate reflects the rate it would pay to borrow and incorporates the term and economic environment of the associated lease.

For the Company’s operating leases, fixed lease payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, any fixed lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and are not recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as an accounting policy election. Leases qualifying for the short-term lease exception were insignificant. Variable lease costs are recognized as incurred. Assets and liabilities related to operating leases are presented in separate captions from those relating to finance leases.

For the Company's finance leases, expense is split between amortization and interest expense. Variable lease costs are recognized as incurred. Assets and liabilities related to finance leases are presented in separate captions from those relating to operating leases.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). The Company provides energized space to customers who locate their hardware within the Company’s co-

hosting facility. All hosting performance obligations are achieved simultaneously by providing the hosting environment for the customers’ operations. Hosting revenue is recorded monthly in fixed amounts, net of credits for non-performance, based on the terms of the hosting agreements. Any ancillary revenue for maintenance or installation services is at a point in time when the Customer has received the full service. As these services support the hosting operation as a whole, all revenue is within the hosting revenue caption. Customer contracts include advance payment terms. Advanced payments are recorded as deferred revenue until the related service is provided.

The Company has granted restricted stock awards to officers and directors. Each of the awards vests upon the completion of service conditions for specified times and a performance condition for the occurrence of an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock comprising the stock award with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company has recognized the cost of the restricted stock-based on the grant date fair value of the awards ratably over the related vesting terms as it is probable that the performance condition for the reserved underlying shares will be met.

The Company has granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to certain consultants and employees, in all cases as compensatory grants for services rendered to the Company, which contain performance conditions that affect vesting. The Company has recognized the cost of these RSUs based on the grant date fair value ratably for each tranche, as applicable, based on the probability that the performance conditions will be achieved over the related vesting terms. In addition, the Company has granted RSUs to employees as compensation for employment services. The average term of the RSUs granted under the employee incentive plan is three years from grant date, and the only conditions for vesting are service conditions. The Company has recognized the expense of the RSUs based on grant date fair value of the awards ratably over the service period.

ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, (“ASC 740”), clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which based on all available evidence, management believes it is most likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker, the chief executive officer, reviews discrete financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of regularly making operating decisions, allocation of resources, and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, the Company has one operating and reporting segment.

The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company

undertakes a study to determine the consequences of the change to its consolidated financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s consolidated financial statements properly reflect the change. The Company has determined that there are no recently issued pronouncements that are currently applicable to the Company.

Within the Consolidated Financial Statements certain immaterial amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. The Company has reclassified restricted cash from cash and cash equivalents to other assets. In addition, the Company has reclassified utility deposits to other assets. These reclassifications had no impact on reported operating income or net income; cash flows from operations, investing, or financing activities; or total assets and liabilities.
