Key Financial Metrics

Revenue Breakdown (Nine Months 2025): Self-mining ($2.81M), Leasing ($1.07M), Equipment Sales ($0.85M), Consulting ($35k).

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased 81.5% for the nine months ended May 31, 2025 ($4.77M) compared to the prior year ($2.63M). This was driven primarily by new leasing agreements and increased self-mining revenue.
• Net Loss Expansion: Net loss attributable to common stockholders increased significantly to $5.72M (nine months 2025) from $2.48M (nine months 2024). This increase is largely due to a one-time non-cash deemed dividend of $2.96M resulting from a reset of the Series A Preferred Stock conversion price.
• Operating Expenses: Operating expenses rose 30.6% year-over-year, primarily due to increased officer and director compensation (cash and stock-based) and higher professional fees related to the public offering and NYSE American listing.
• Cash Flow: Net cash provided by operating activities turned positive at $1.37M for the nine months ended May 31, 2025, compared to a use of $0.25M in the prior year period, aided by customer advances and stock-based compensation adjustments.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

Subsequent Events & Capital Raising:

• Public Offering: On June 6, 2025, the company closed a public offering of 2.25M shares at $8.00/share, raising net proceeds of approximately $16.15M. Proceeds were invested in Bitcoin.
• Private Placement: On June 30, 2025, the company entered an agreement for a private placement of up to 55.5M shares at $4.50/share, targeting ~$250M in proceeds to fund an Ethereum treasury strategy.
• Listing: Common stock began trading on NYSE American on June 5, 2025.
• Debt Restructuring: Related party debt (IDI) was restructured; $1M converted to a term loan, $600k exchanged for a receivable, and the remainder converted to common stock.

Outlook: Management expects operating expenses to trend higher as regular compensation is paid and new equipment is added. The company believes current liquidity, combined with recent financing, is sufficient for the next 12 months.

Risks:

• Volatility in Bitcoin prices and network difficulty.
• Reliance on third-party hosting and energy costs.
• Regulatory changes regarding digital assets.
• Execution risk on the Ethereum treasury strategy and private placement closing.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Deemed Dividend Impact: Verify the accounting treatment and dilution impact of the $2.96M non-cash deemed dividend on Series A Preferred Stock.
• Private Placement Status: Confirm the closing status and regulatory approval of the $250M Ethereum treasury private placement.
• Lease Revenue Recognition: Review the terms of the KULR Technology Group lease agreements ($3.2M total) to ensure revenue recognition aligns with performance obligations.
• Related Party Transactions: Scrutinize the restructuring of the IDI line of credit and the valuation of shares issued to officers/directors.
• Defaulted Receivables: Assess the recoverability of the $593k note receivable from ROC Digital, which is currently in default.
