Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures required for audited annual financial statements.
In the Company’s opinion, all necessary adjustments have been made for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, please refer to and read these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on August 30, 2024.
Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). 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.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Data Center Hosting Revenue
The Company provides energized space to customers who locate their hardware within the Company’s co-hosting facility. All Data Center Hosting performance obligations are achieved simultaneously by providing the hosting environment for the customers’ operations. Customers pay a fixed rate to the Company in exchange for a managed hosting environment supported by customer-provided equipment. Revenue is recognized based on the contractual fixed rate, net of any credits for non-performance, over the term of the agreements. Any ancillary revenue for other services is generally recognized at a point in time when the services are complete. Customer contracts include advance payment terms. All advanced service payments are recorded as deferred revenue and are recognized as revenue once the related service is provided.
Cloud Services Revenue
The Company also provides managed cloud infrastructure services to customers, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning developers, to help develop their advanced products. Customers pay a fixed rate to the Company in exchange for managed cloud services supported by Company-provided equipment. Revenues are recognized based on the fixed rate, net of any credits for non-performance, over the term of the agreements.
Segments
The Company has identified three reportable segments: cloud services (“Cloud Services Business”), high-performance compute hosting (“HPC Hosting Business”), and data center hosting (“Data Center Hosting Business”). The Company’s chief operating decision-maker evaluates performance, makes operating decisions and allocates resources on both a consolidated basis and on the basis of these three reportable segments. Intercompany transactions between segments are excluded for management reporting purposes.
The Data Center Hosting Business operates data centers to provide energized space to crypto mining customers. Customer-owned hardware is installed in the Company’s facilities and the Company provides operational and maintenance services for a fixed fee.
The Cloud Services Business operates through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Applied Digital Cloud Corporation, and provides cloud services to customers, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning developers, to develop their advanced products. Customers pay a fixed rate to the Company in exchange for an energized space supported by Company-provided equipment.
The HPC Hosting Business designs, builds, and operates data centers which are designed to support high-compute applications using advanced and sophisticated infrastructures to provide services to customers.
See Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC, for additional information regarding the Company’s significant accounting policies and use of estimates.
Reclassifications
Balance Sheet
We have reclassified certain prior period amounts in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets to conform to our current period presentation. Specifically, we have reclassified certain restricted cash held in long term instruments from “Restricted cash” to “Other assets”. We have also reclassified the presentations of state income tax payable to “Other current liabilities” and security deposits from “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” to “Other assets.” Finally, we have condensed “Sales and use tax payable” into “Accrued expenses.”
Income Statement
We have reclassified certain prior period amounts in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations to conform to our current period presentation. Specifically, we have reclassified certain amounts of “Selling, general and administrative” expenses to “Cost of revenues”. We have condensed the presentation of segment revenue into a single “Revenue” caption as segment disclosures are presented in Note 12 - Business Segments.
These reclassifications had no impact on reported net loss, cash flows, or total assets and liabilities.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
The Company has restricted cash related to its letters of credit totaling $28.3 million, which is held in money market funds. The Company is required to keep these balances in separate accounts for the duration of the letter of credit agreements, which have terms of up to two years. These letters of credit were issued in lieu of security deposits. The Company considers the money market funds to be Level 1 which the Company believes approximates fair value.
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets that are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as of August 31, 2024 and May 31, 2024 were as follows (in thousands):
August 31, 2024May 31, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents$58,215 $3,339 
Restricted cash21,342 21,349 
Restricted cash included in other assets7,000 7,000 
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash$86,557 $31,688 
Liquidity
As noted above, the Company had a working capital deficit of $302.6 million which raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Based on an analysis of subsequent events which are disclosed in "Note 14 - Subsequent Events", the Company believes that substantial doubt to continue as a going concern has been alleviated. Therefore, the Company has sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as they become due for at least twelve months from the date these financial statements were issued.
Preferred Stock
The Company applied the guidance in ASC 480-10-S99-3A, SEC Staff Announcement: Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities and classified the Series E Preferred Stock (as defined below) and the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock as temporary equity in the temporary equity section of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets on August 31, 2024. The Series E Preferred Stock is recorded outside of stockholders’ equity because under the terms thereof, there are optional redemption features, which may require redemption arising from events outside the control of the Company. The Series F Convertible Preferred Stock is recorded outside of stockholders’ equity because under the terms thereof, the redemption right is at a fixed price of the stated value and a fixed date of December 31, 2024 through January 10, 2025. See further discussion in Note 8 - Temporary Equity.
