NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except data relating to number of PPE, shares, warrants and digital assets - unaudited)

NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Bitfarms Ltd. was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act on October 11, 2018 and continued under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on August 27, 2021. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the corporation comprise the accounts of Bitfarms Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Company” or “Bitfarms”). The activities of the Company mainly consist of cryptocurrency mining in multiple jurisdictions, as described in Note 20 “Geographical Information”. The Company’s operations are currently located in Canada, the United States, Paraguay and Argentina. 9159-9290 Quebec Inc. (“Volta”), a wholly owned subsidiary, assists the Company in building and maintaining its server farms and provides electrician services to both commercial and residential customers in Quebec. Bitfarms owns and operates server farms comprised of computers (referred to as “Miners”) designed for the purpose of validating transactions on the BTC Blockchain (referred to as “Mining”). Bitfarms generally operates Miners 24 hours a day producing computational power (measured by hashrate) which it sells to Mining Pools under a formula driven rate commonly known in the industry as Full Pay Per Share (“FPPS”). Under FPPS, pools compensate Mining companies for their hashrate based on what the pool would expect to generate in revenue for a given time period if there was no randomness involved. The fee paid by a Mining Pool to Bitfarms for its hashrate may be in cryptocurrency, U.S. dollars, or other currency. Bitfarms accumulates the cryptocurrency fees it receives or exchanges them for U.S. dollars, as determined to be needed, through reputable and established cryptocurrency trading platforms. Mining Pools generate revenue by Mining with purchased hashrate through the accumulation of Block Rewards and transaction fees issued by the BTC network. Mining pools purchase hashrate and accept the risk with the aim to mine more blocks than they should in a given time period in seek of profit. The common shares of the Company are listed under the trading symbol BITF on the Nasdaq and Toronto Stock Exchange exchanges.

NOTE 2: LIQUIDITY

Bitfarms is primarily engaged in the cryptocurrency mining industry, a highly volatile market with significant inherent risk. Declines in the market prices of cryptocurrencies, an increase in the difficulty of BTC mining, delays in the delivery of mining equipment, changes in the regulatory environment and adverse changes in other inherent risks can significantly and negatively impact the Company’s operations and cash flows and its ability to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its financial obligations. Adverse changes to the factors mentioned above have impacted the recoverability of the Company’s digital assets and property, plant and equipment, resulting in impairment losses being recorded.

The Company’s current operating budget and future estimated cash flows based on BTC market factors including price, difficulty and network hashrate, for the twelve-month period following the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance, indicate that it will generate positive cash flow in excess of required interest and principal payments on its long-term debt due within the twelve-month period.

At current BTC prices, the Company’s existing cash resources and the proceeds from any sale of its treasury and mined BTC may not be sufficient to fund its capital investments to support its growth objectives. If the BTC proceeds are not sufficient, the Company would be required to raise additional funds from external sources to meet these requirements. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such additional funds on acceptable terms, if at all.

If the Company raises additional funds by issuing securities, existing shareholders may be diluted. If the Company was unable to obtain such financing, or if funds from operations and proceeds from any sale of the Company’s BTC holdings were negatively impacted by the BTC price, the Company may have difficulty meeting its payment obligations.

NOTE 3: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation and measurement

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements (“Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. These Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors on May 12, 2023.

These Financial Statements do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The Financial Statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies used in the audited annual consolidated financial statements for year ended December 31, 2022, except for new accounting standards issued and adopted by the Company which are described below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently by the Company’s entities and to all periods presented in these Financial Statements, unless otherwise indicated.

The Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments and digital assets recorded at fair value.

NOTE 3: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

New accounting amendments issued and adopted by the Company

The following amendments to existing standards were adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2023:

Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”)

Amendments to IAS 1 change the requirements in IAS 1 with regard to disclosure of accounting policies. Applying the amendments, an entity discloses its material accounting policies instead of its significant accounting policies. Further amendments to IAS 1 explain how an entity can identify a material accounting policy.

Amendments to IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (“IAS 8”)

Amendments to IAS 8 replace the definition of a change in accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty.”

The adoption of the amendments listed above did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Financial Statements.

New accounting amendments issued to be adopted at a later date

The following amendments to existing standards have been issued and are applicable to the Company for its annual period beginning on January 1, 2024 and thereafter, with an earlier application permitted:

Amendments to IAS 1

Amendments to IAS 1 clarify how to classify debt and other liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments help to determine whether, in the interim consolidated statements of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current (due or potentially due to be settled within one year) or non-current. The amendments also include clarifying the classification requirements for debt an entity might settle by converting it into equity.

Amendments to IAS 1 specify that covenants to be complied with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting date. Instead, the amendments require information about these covenants to be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the amendments on the Company’s Financial Statements.

NOTE 3: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Comparative figures revised

Certain figures in the comparative period of the Financial Statements have been revised to conform to the current presentation. Specifically, within the interim consolidated statements of cash flow, cash flows related to the purchase and disposal of marketable securities were amended to be presented on a gross basis within investing activities, and as such, the financial statement line items “Purchase of marketable securities” and “Proceeds from disposition of marketable securities” were added in the current and comparative period, all within investing activities. Previously, such amounts were classified as a net cash flow within “Net financial income” under operating activities. The revision between operating and investing activities was $10,937.

NOTE 4: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of the Financial Statements requires management to undertake several judgments, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. These estimates and judgments are based on management’s best knowledge of the events or circumstances and actions the Company may take in the future. The actual results may differ from these assumptions and estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to assumptions and estimates are recognized in the period in which the assumption or estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The significant judgements made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the audited annual consolidated financial statements for year ended December 31, 2022.

Balance of digital assets excluding digital assets pledged as collateral as of March 31,		361			10,257			2,180			99,258

Management estimates the fair value of BTC mined on a daily basis as the quantity of cryptocurrency received multiplied by the price quoted on Coinmarketcap on the day it was received. Management considers the prices quoted on Coinmarketcap to be a level 2 input under IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement.

A portion of the change in unrealized gain on revaluation of digital assets for the three months ended March 31, 2023, is presented in other comprehensive income after reversing previously recorded revaluation loss on digital assets in the statement of profit or loss, totaling $1,225, net of $442 of deferred income tax (three months ended March 31, 2022: nil).

Settlement of the BlockFi Loan

In February 2022, the Company entered into an equipment financing agreement for gross proceeds of $32,000 collateralized by 6,100 Bitmain S19j Pro Miners referred to as the “BlockFi Loan”. The net proceeds received by the Company were $30,994 after capitalizing origination, closing and other transaction fees of $1,006.

In December 2022, the Company ceased making installment payments, which constituted a default under the loan agreement and the loan was classified as current.

On February 8, 2023, BlockFi and the Company negotiated a settlement of the loan in its entirety with a then outstanding debt balance of $20,330 for cash consideration of $7,750, discharging Backbone Mining of all further obligations and resulting in a gain on extinguishment of long-term debt of $12,580 recognized in net financial income in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and comprehensive profit and loss during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Upon settlement, all of Backbone Mining’s assets, including the 6,100 Miners collateralizing the loan, were unencumbered.

NOTE 12: INCOME TAXES

Deferred taxes

Deferred taxes are computed at a tax rate of 26.5% based on tax rates expected to apply at the time of realization. Deferred taxes relate primarily to the timing differences on recognition of expenses relating to the depreciation of fixed assets, loss carryforwards and professional fees relating to the Company’s equity activity that are recorded as a reduction of equity.

As at March 31, 2023, the recoverability of the net deferred tax asset, due to the impact of the decrease in BTC prices as described in Note 2, was uncertain and as a result, the net deferred tax asset of $49,592 was not recognized. The Company will evaluate the likelihood of recoverability at each balance sheet date, and will recognize net deferred tax asset when and if appropriate.

Total carrying amount and fair value			33,014			60,044

Net carrying amount and fair value			(2,685	)		(28,348	)

The carrying amounts of trade receivables, insurance refund and other receivables, trade payables and accrued liabilities and long-term debt presented in the table above are a reasonable approximation of their fair value.

Derivative assets

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company entered into forward BTC option contracts to sell digital assets to reduce the risk of variability of future cash flows resulting from future sales of digital assets. The fair value of option contracts is categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and was presented under Other assets in the consolidated statements of financial position as at March 31, 2023. Their fair values are a recurring measurement. Fair value of derivative financial instruments generally reflects the estimated amounts that the Corporation would receive or pay, and taking into consideration the counterparty credit risk or the Corporation’s credit risk, at each reporting date. The Company uses market data such as BTC option futures to estimate the fair value of option contracts at each reporting date. The Company did not apply hedge accounting on these contracts.

During the three month period ended March 31, 2023, the unrealized change in fair value of outstanding contracts and the realized gain on settled contracts amounted to a net gain of $35 recognized in net financial income included in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and comprehensive profit and loss.

NOTE 17: NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Details of the number of shares and income (loss) used in the computation of net earnings (loss) per share are as follows:

	Year ended December 31,
	2023			2022
Net (loss) income		(2,479	)		4,519
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding - basic		232,541,000			197,505,000

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding - diluted		232,541,000			201,269,000
Basic (loss) earnings per share		(0.01	)		0.02
Diluted (loss) earnings per share		(0.01	)		0.02

For the three month period ended March 31, 2023, potentially dilutive securities have not been included in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because their effect is antidilutive. The additional potentially dilutive securities that would have been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share had their effect not been anti-dilutive for the three month period ended March 31, 2023 would have totaled approximately 3,577,000.

NOTE 18: SHARE-BASED PAYMENT

	2023		2022
Equity-settled share-based payment plans		2,536		6,105

Options

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, no stock options were granted. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Board of Directors approved stock option grants to purchase 120,000 common shares in accordance with the Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP Plan”) adopted on May 18, 2021. All options issued according to the LTIP Plan become exercisable when they vest and can be exercised for a maximum period of 5 years from the date of the grant.

On March 31, 2023, upon the voluntary surrender by option holders, the Company cancelled outstanding options exercisable for 10,535,000 common shares. The Company intends, but has no obligation, to grant new options to the persons who formerly held the cancelled options no less than 90 days after the cancellation date of the original options. As the options were cancelled without the concurrent grant of a replacement award, the cancellation was treated as a settlement for no consideration, and all remaining unrecognized share-based payment expense associated with the cancelled options was accelerated for an amount of $914 during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Gain on disposition of marketable securities

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company funded its expansion in Argentina through the acquisition of marketable securities and in-kind contribution of these securities to the Company’s subsidiary in Argentina. The subsequent disposition of these marketable securities in exchange for Argentine Pesos gave rise to a gain as the amount received in ARS exceeds the amount of ARS the Company would have received from a direct foreign currency exchange.

Gain on extinguishment of the BlockFi Loan and Reliz lease liability

In February 2023, the Company negotiated a settlement of its loan agreement with BlockFi with a then outstanding debt balance of $20,330 for a payment of $7,750. As a result, a gain on extinguishment of long-term debt was recognized in the amount of $12,580 during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

In February 2023, the Company modified its lease agreement with Reliz Ltd. in order to settle its outstanding lease liability of $373 for a payment of $118. As a result, a gain on extinguishment of lease liabilities was recognized in the amount of $255 during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Discount expense on VAT receivable

A portion of the Argentine VAT receivable is not expected to be settled within the next 12 months, and, therefore, it has been classified as a long-term receivable in Note 8 with the short-term portion being included in sales tax receivable in Note 5. The Company has discounted this VAT receivable to its present value, which is classified within Net financial income during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Historically, ARS has devalued significantly when compared to USD due to high levels of inflation in Argentina, which may result in the Company recording future foreign exchange losses on its Argentina VAT receivable.
