Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Preparation

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Preparation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly or majority owned and controlled subsidiaries. Intercompany investments, balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Non–controlling interests represent the minority equity investment in the Company’s subsidiaries, plus the minority investors’ share of the net operating results and other components of equity relating to the non–controlling interest. As of September 30, 2025, the Company no longer holds non-controlling interests.

Any change in the Company’s ownership interest in a consolidated subsidiary, through additional equity issuances by the consolidated subsidiary or from the Company acquiring the shares from existing stockholders, in which the Company maintains control is recognized as an equity transaction, with appropriate adjustments to both the Company’s additional paid-in capital and the corresponding non-controlling interest.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company has considered the following to be significant estimates made by management, including but not limited to, going concern assumptions, estimating the useful lives of fixed assets, realization of long-lived assets, unrealized tax positions, valuing the derivative asset classified under Level 3 fair value hierarchy, and the contingent obligation with respect to future revenues.

Revenue recognition

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of ASC 606 is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Five steps are required to be followed in evaluating revenue recognition: (i) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price; and (v) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

In order to identify the performance obligations in a contract with a customer, a company must assess the promised goods or services in the contract and identify each promised good or service that is distinct. A performance obligation meets ASC 606’s definition of a “distinct” good or service (or bundle of goods or services) if both of the following criteria are met: the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer (i.e., the good or service is capable of being distinct), and the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract (i.e., the promise to transfer the good or service is distinct within the context of the contract).

Digital colocation revenue   

The Company offers other businesses and customers the opportunity to colocate their specialized computers used in mining digital assets and other equipment within our facilities. The Company generates revenue from these customers for their use of our digital colocation services and facilities. This offering is known as “colocation” and can be customized and tailored for each customer’s situation and strategy as well as the Company’s strategy. For example, customers may agree to be charged upfront digital infrastructure fees, minimum fees, and maintenance fees. The Company, on the other hand, charges colocation fees for the use of its facilities, and other related fees. In addition, digital colocation customers typically pay for energy used in connection with the customer colocation services agreement on a pass-through basis, which may be on a fixed or variable basis calculated on the portion of energy used by the customer on the site. The Company satisfies the performance obligation when the customer has the ability to direct the use and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits of the good or service. Revenue is recognized over time as customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits because another party would not need to substantially reperform the work completed by the Company in order to fulfill the remaining performance obligation to the customer. Revenue is recognized upon confirmation of the Company’s power usage by the electricity provider and billed at the rates outlined in each customer contract on a monthly basis.

The customer contracts contain variable consideration to be allocated to and recognized in the period to which the consideration relates. Usually this is when it is invoiced, rather than obtaining an estimation of variable consideration at the beginning of the customer contracts.

Energy management revenue

The Company has developed several energy management program capabilities and has an energy management business to generate revenue when the Company adapts its power usage to the real-time needs of the power grid. Energy management revenue consists of revenue for curtailing power and through a power pricing arrangement.

Revenue for curtailing power is recognized over the period that the services are being provided. The Company estimates the amount of curtailable power and the expected payment for that curtailment and recognizes revenue based on the proportion of the service that has been provided. In this arrangement, the Company is considered the principal and revenue is recognized on a gross basis.

Revenue through the Company’s power pricing arrangement is recognized over the period that the services are being provided. The Company estimates the amount of energy available for sale and the expected payment for that energy, and recognizes revenue based on the proportion of the service that has been provided. In this arrangement, the Company is considered the principal and revenue is recognized on a gross basis.

Digital assets mining revenue

The Company has a contract with mining pools and has undertaken the performance obligation of providing computing power in exchange for non-cash consideration in the form of digital assets. The provision of computing power is the only performance obligation in the Company’s contract with its pool operators. Where the consideration received is variable (for example, due to payment only being made upon successful mining), it is recognized when it is highly probable that the variability is resolved, which is generally when the digital asset is received.

The Company measures the non-cash consideration received at the fair market value of the digital asset received. Management estimates fair value on a daily basis, as the quantity of digital assets received multiplied by the price quoted on the exchange that the Company uses to dispose of digital assets.

Equipment sales

The Company has earned revenues from the sale of equipment and/or infrastructure (collectively, “Hardware”). Revenue from the sale of Hardware is recognized upon transfer of control of the Hardware to the customer. At the date of sale, the net book value is expensed in cost of revenues.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. All other repair and maintenance costs are charged to operating expenses as incurred. The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met. PP&E transferred from customers is initially measured at the fair value at the date on which control is obtained.

PP&E are depreciated on a straight-line or declining balance basis based on the asset classification, over their useful lives to the economic entity, commencing from the time the assets arrive at their destination where they are ready for use. Low-cost assets are capitalized and immediately depreciated. Depreciation is calculated over the following estimated useful lives: 

Asset class   Useful life   Depreciation Method
Fixtures   5 years   Straight-Line
Plant and equipment   10 years   Straight-Line
Modular data center   5 years   Declining
Motor vehicles   5 years   Straight-Line
Computer equipment   3 years   Straight-Line
Computational and Processing machinery (Miners)   2 years   Straight-Line
Transformers   15 years   Straight-Line
Leasehold improvements   Shorter of useful life or lease term   Straight-Line

PP&E are derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset is included in the consolidated statement of operations.

The residual values, useful lives, and methods of depreciation of PP&E are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

The Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value of financial instruments:

The Company accounts for financial instruments under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in a principal or most advantageous market. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:

Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — observable inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations whose significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3 — assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable.

Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are based on the Company’s market assumptions. Unobservable inputs require significant management judgment or estimation. In some cases, the inputs used to measure an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is required to be classified using the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Such determination requires significant management judgment.

Level 1 Assets and Liabilities:

In accordance with ASU 2023-08, cryptocurrency that was mined from colocation services and held in a digital asset account controlled by the Company are measured at fair value and recognized separately on the cryptocurrencies line of the balance sheet. Due to an ongoing customer dispute, the Company has recognized corresponding cryptocurrencies due to alleged customer liability included in trade and other payables on the balance sheet. The estimated fair value of the cryptocurrency and alleged liability is classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and is based on the quantity of cryptocurrency held in the digital asset account multiplied by the price quoted on the exchange the Company uses to dispose of digital assets on September 30, 2025.

Level 3 Assets:

In June 2022, the Company entered into a power supply agreement (“PSA”) with Energy Harbor LLC (“Energy”), the energy supplier to the Company’s Midland, Pennsylvania facility, to provide the delivery of a fixed portion of the total amount of electricity for a fixed price through December 2026. There were five amendments to the PSA entered into in November 2023, December 2023, January 2024, April 2024 and May 2024. All the amendments were to purchase additional electricity at a fixed price for the months of December 2023, January 2024, February 2024, April 2024, May 2024 and June 2024. If the Midland, Pennsylvania facility uses more electricity than contracted, the cost of the excess is incurred at a new price quoted by Energy.

While the Company participates in energy management programs at its Midland, Pennsylvania facility, the Company does not consider such actions as trading activities. That is, the Company does not engage in speculation in the power market as part of its ordinary activities. Because the sale of any electricity under a curtailment program allows for net settlement, the Company has determined the PSA meets the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. However, because the Company has the ability to sell the power back to the grid rather than take physical delivery, physical delivery is not probable through the entirety of the contract and therefore, the Company does not believe the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception applies to the PSA. Accordingly, the PSA (the non-hedging derivative contract) is recorded at estimated fair value each reporting period with the change in the fair value recorded in “change in fair value of derivative asset” in the consolidated statements of operations.

The PSA was classified as a derivative asset beginning in the quarter ended September 30, 2022, and measured at fair value on the date of the PSA, with changes in fair value recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair value of the Company’s derivative asset is classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the significant unobservable inputs utilized in the valuation. Specifically, the Company’s discounted cash flow estimation models contain quoted commodity exchange spot and forward prices and are adjusted for basis spreads for load zone-to-hub differentials through the term of the PSA, which expires in December 2026. In addition, the Company adopted a discount rate of approximately 20% above the terminal value of the observable market inputs, but also includes unobservable inputs based on qualitative judgment related to company-specific risk factors. The terms of the PSA require pre-payment of collateral, calculated as forward cost based on the market cost rate of electricity versus the fixed price stated in the contract.

Stock based compensation

Stock based compensation

The Company follows ASC 718-10, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The Company expenses stock-based compensation to directors, employees, and non-employees over the requisite service period based on the grant-date fair value of the awards. The Company determines the grant-date fair value of options using the Trinomial Lattice Method. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. These assumptions are the expected stock volatility, the risk-free interest rate, the expected life of the option, and the expected forfeiture rate. Expected volatility computes stock price volatility over expected terms based on the historical trading prices of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”). Risk–free interest rates are calculated based on the yield of a 3-year or 5-year United States Treasury constant maturity bond, depending on the agreement. 

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision–making group in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The Company operates as one operating segment and uses net income as a measure of profit or loss on a consolidated basis in making decisions regarding resource allocation and performance assessment. Additionally, the Company’s CODM regularly reviews the Company’s expenses on a consolidated basis. The financial metrics used by the CODM help make key operating decisions, such as determination of purchases and significant acquisitions and allocation of budget between cost of revenues, general and administrative and research and development expenses. The Company does not evaluate performance or allocate resources based on segment assets, and therefore such information is not presented in the notes to the financial statements. We currently operate in one segment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Crypto Assets (Topic 3580-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets. Under the new guidance, an entity would be required to subsequently measure certain crypto assets at fair value, with changes in fair value included in net income in each reporting period. The proposed set of rules would also require presentation of crypto assets and related fair value changes separately in the balance sheet and income statement and require various disclosures in interim and annual periods. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2023-08 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements since the Company’s policy is to dispose of Bitcoin received from mining operations at the earliest opportunity, therefore the holding period is minimal, usually no more than a few days. ASU 2023-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2023-08 on January 1, 2025.
