Key Financial Metrics

Note: Working capital calculated as Total Current Assets ($9,923) minus Total Current Liabilities ($1,580).

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Decline (9M): Revenue decreased by 39.4% year-over-year for the nine-month period, primarily due to the April 2024 Bitcoin halving event and a strategic transition to lower-cost hosting sites and newer-generation mining equipment.
• Cost Reductions: Cost of revenue decreased by 41.3% (9M) and General and Administrative (G&A) expenses decreased by 25.2% (9M). G&A reductions were driven by lower legal fees (resolution of litigation), reduced share-based compensation, and lower headcount.
• Asset Dispositions: The company recorded a loss on disposal of property and equipment of $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $0.7 million in the prior year period, reflecting the sale of older mining equipment.
• Investment Gains: Investment gains dropped significantly from $7.5 million in the prior year period to $0.4 million in the current period, as the company sold its equity investment in Core Scientific Inc.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

• Going Concern Warning: Management has expressed substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months. This is due to recurring losses, negative operating cash flows, and the need for additional funding to sustain operations.
• Strategic Pivot: The company is vertically integrating by operating its own 8 MW facility in Iowa and refreshing its fleet with newer, more efficient machines. This transition has temporarily reduced mining production but is intended to lower long-term costs.
• Recent Financing (Subsequent Event): On October 16, 2025, the company executed a warrant inducement agreement, raising approximately $4.1 million in gross proceeds through the exercise of existing warrants at a reduced price of $0.94 per share.
• Nasdaq Compliance: The company received a notice in March 2025 regarding non-compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price rule. An extension was granted until March 2, 2026, to regain compliance.
• Hosting Agreements: The company terminated agreements with Simple Mining (effective November 2025) and Rebel Mining (settled in Jan 2025) and entered a new agreement with North Campbell HostCo LLC effective November 1, 2025.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Cash Runway: Verify the sufficiency of the $5.3 million cash balance against the stated "substantial doubt" regarding the 12-month going concern status.
• Warrant Inducement Terms: Review the details of the October 2025 warrant exercise and the issuance of new warrants to assess potential future dilution.
• Hosting Transition: Confirm the operational status and cost savings of the new Iowa facility and the North Campbell HostCo agreement post-November 2025.
• Bitcoin Price Sensitivity: Assess the impact of Bitcoin price volatility on the company's revenue recognition and the fair value of its 22.7 Bitcoin holdings.
• Nasdaq Listing Status: Monitor the company's progress toward regaining compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement by March 2026.
