Ault Energy Oil and Gas Properties On July 11, 2022, the Company announced the formation of Ault Energy, LLC (“Ault Energy”), as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Ault Energy is partnering with White River Holdings Corp. (“White River”), a majority owned subsidiary of BitNile Metaverse, Inc., formerly known as Ecoark Holdings, Inc. (“BMI”), on expects to partner on multiple drilling projects across 30,000 acres in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. Ault Energy, as the designee of Ault Lending, has the right to purchase up to 25%, or such higher percentages at the discretion of White River, in various drilling projects of White River. In August 2022, Ault Energy purchased a 40% working interest of the Harry O’Neal 20-9 No.1 drilling project in Mississippi for $1.0 million included in property and equipment. The Company has not recorded any depletion as the Harry O’Neal 20-9 No.1 drilling project was considered an unproved property as of December 31, 2022. Compute North Bankruptcy On September 22, 2022, Compute North Holdings, Inc. (along with its affiliated debtors, collectively, “Compute North”), filed for bankruptcy protection. The Company has a deposit of approximately $2.0 million with Compute North for services yet to be performed by Compute North. The ultimate outcome of the bankruptcy process, and its impact on the deposit held by the Company, remains to be determined. The Company assessed this financial exposure and recorded an impairment of the deposit totaling $2 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company has removed the Bitcoin miners that were installed at the hosting facility in Texas. Impairment of Bitcoin Mining Equipment During the year ended December 31, 2022, adverse changes in business climate, including decreases in the price of Bitcoin and resulting decrease in the market price of miners, indicated that an impairment triggering event had occurred. Testing performed indicated the estimated fair value of the Company’s miners to be less than their net carrying value as of December 31, 2022, and an impairment charge of $79.6 million was recognized, decreasing the net carrying value of the Company’s Bitcoin mining equipment to their estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of the Company’s miners is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy due to the quoted market prices for similar assets.
