Significant Accounting Policies

Other than as noted below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies previously disclosed in the 2023 Annual Report.

Revenue Recognition Crypto Assets Mining

The Company has entered into a crypto assets mining pool by executing a contract with a mining pool operator to provide hash calculation services to the mining pool. The Company’s customer, as defined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606-10-20, is the mining pool operator with which the Company has agreed to the terms of service and user service agreement. The Company supplies hash calculation services, in exchange for consideration, to the pool operator who in turn provides transaction verification services to third parties via a mining pool that includes other participants. The Company’s performance obligation is the provision of hash calculation services to the pool operator and this performance obligation is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities for which it decides when to provide services under the contract.

The Company’s enforceable right to compensation begins only when, and lasts as long as, the Company provides hash calculation services to the mining pool operator and is created as power is provided over time. The only consideration due to the Company relates to the provision of hash calculation services. The contract with the pool operator provides both parties the unilateral enforceable right to terminate the contract at any time without penalty. The customer termination option results in a contract that continuously renews throughout the day and therefore has a duration of less than 24 hours. The implied renewal option is not a material right because there are no upfront or incremental fees in the initial contract and the terms, conditions, and compensation amount for the renewal options are at the then market rates. Providing such hash calculation services is the only performance obligation in the Company’s contracts with mining pool operators.

The transaction consideration the Company receives, if any, is non-cash consideration in the form of Bitcoin. Changes in the fair value of the non-cash consideration due to form of the consideration (changes in the market price of Bitcoin) are not included in the transaction price and are therefore not included in revenue. The mining pool operator charges fees to cover the costs of maintaining the pool and are deducted from amounts the Company may otherwise earn and are treated as a reduction to the consideration earned. Fees fluctuate and historically have been approximately 0.3% per reward earned, on average.

The Company participated in mining pools that used the full pay-per-share (“FPPS”) payout method for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company is entitled to compensation once it begins to perform hash calculations for the pool operator in accordance with the operator’s specifications over a 24-hour period beginning midnight UTC and ending 23:59:59 UTC on a daily basis. The non-cash consideration that the Company is entitled to for providing hash calculations to the pool operator under the FPPS payout method is made up of block rewards and transaction fees less pool operator fees determined as follows:

·

The non-cash consideration in the form of a block reward is based on the total blocks expected to be generated on the Bitcoin network for the daily 24-hour period beginning midnight UTC and ending 23:59:59 UTC in accordance with the following formula: the daily hash calculations that the Company provided to the pool operator as a percent of the Bitcoin network’s implied hash calculations as determined by the network difficulty, multiplied by the total Bitcoin network block rewards expected to be generated for the same daily period.

·

The non-cash consideration in the form of transaction fees paid by transaction requestors is based on the share of standard transaction fees over the daily 24-hour period beginning midnight UTC and ending 23:59:59 UTC. The pool operator calculates the standard transaction fee during the 24-hour period using a rolling 144 block moving average of actual transaction fees.

·

The block reward and transaction fees earned by the Company are reduced by mining pool fees charged by the operator for operating the pool based on a rate schedule per the mining pool contract. The mining pool fee is only incurred to the extent the Company performs hash calculations and generates revenue in accordance with the pool operator’s payout formula during the same 24-hour period beginning midnight UTC daily.

The contract is in effect until terminated by either party.

All consideration pursuant to this arrangement is variable. It is not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will occur. The Company is able to calculate the payout based on the contractual formula, non-cash revenue is estimated and recognized based on the fair value of Bitcoin on the date of contract inception. Fair value of the crypto assets consideration is determined using the midnight UTC spot price of the Company’s principal market for Bitcoin. The Company recognizes non-cash consideration on the same day that control of the contracted service is transferred to the pool operator, which is the same day as the contract inception.

There is no significant financing component in these transactions.

Expenses associated with running the crypto assets mining business, such as equipment depreciation and electricity costs, are recorded as a component of cost of revenues.

Revenue Recognition Hotel Operations

The primary sources of revenue include room and food and beverage revenue from the Company’s hotels.

Rooms revenue represents revenue from the occupancy of the Company’s hotel rooms, which is driven by the occupancy and average daily rate charged. Rooms revenue includes revenue from guest no-shows, daily use, and early/late departure fees. The contracts for room stays with customers are generally short in duration and revenues are recognized as services are provided over the course of the hotel stay at the daily transaction price agreed to under the contract.

Food and beverage revenue consists of revenue from the restaurants and lounges, in room dining and mini bars, and banquet/catering revenue from group and social functions. Payment of the transaction price is due immediately when the customer purchases the goods and services. Therefore, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the physical possession has transferred to the customer.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current-period financial statement presentation, including the discontinued operations presentation of GIGA financial results. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

On December 14, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires entities to disclose specific rate reconciliations, amount of income taxes separated by federal and individual jurisdiction, and the amount of income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (benefit) disaggregated between federal, state, and foreign. The new standard is effective for the Company for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the standard.

On November 27, 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 is designed to improve the reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. The new standard is effective for the Company for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the standard.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-01 Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards (“ASU 2024-01”). ASU 2024-01 improves clarity and operability without changing the guidance. ASU 2024-01 is effective on a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-01 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
