Going Concern

Note 2 — Going Concern

 

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had an approximate cash balance of $0.9 million, a working capital deficit of approximately $22.7 million, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $52.3 million. The aforementioned factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

The Company does not believe that its capital resources as of March 31, 2022, its ability to mine cryptocurrency, its expected sale of certain mining assets and data center, its ability to settle convertible debt obligations through issuance of the Company’s shares, availability on the SGS SouthStar credit facility to finance purchase orders and invoices, reauthorization of key vendors and credit limitation improvements will be sufficient to fund planned operations. As a result, the Company will need additional funds to support its obligations for the next twelve months. The Company continues to explore a number of other possible solutions to its financing needs, including additional efforts to raise additional capital as needed, through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, as well as possible transactions with other companies, strategic partnerships, and other mechanisms for addressing our financial condition. In addition, the Company will need to increase its authorized common stock to potentially settle convertible debt conversions.

 

If the Company is unable to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to the Company and on a timely basis, the Company will be required to downsize or wind down its operations through liquidation, bankruptcy, or sale of its assets. In addition, the Ethereum network is in the process of implementing software upgrades and other changes to its protocol, which are intended to be a new iteration of the Ethereum network that changes its consensus mechanism from “proof of work” to “proof of stake”, which may decrease the reliance on computing power as an advantage to validating blocks. The move to a proof of stake mechanism will shift the network from mining utilizing computing power to staking, in which Ethereum holders can deposit their Ethereum in exchange for rewards. The switch to a proof of stake model would adversely affect the Company’s operations and ability to sustain operations as it would make the Company’s mining equipment obsolete. In addition, as of March 31, 2022, the Company has been reliant on its ability to liquidate Ethereum to continue to fund operations when needed, and as such, the Company does not currently have enough Ethereum on hand to fund operations through a proof of stake model.
