NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(In thousands of U.S. dollars, except for data relating to quantity of PPE, shares, warrants and digital assets)

 

NOTE 1: REPORTING ENTITY AND LIQUIDITY

 

a.Bitfarms was incorporated under the Canada Business Corporation Act on October 11, 2018 and continued under the Ontario Corporations Business Act. 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 and are divided into multiple jurisdictions described in Note 18 “Geographical Information”. The Company’s operations are predominantly in Canada and the United States, with new operations having commenced in Paraguay in 2022 and construction of a new facility having commenced in Argentina in 2021.

 

b.Bitfarms is primarily engaged in the cryptocurrency mining industry, a highly volatile market with significant inherent risk. A significant decline in the market prices of cryptocurrencies, an increase in the difficulty of cryptocurrency mining, changes in the regulatory environment and adverse changes in other inherent risks can significantly and negatively impact the Company’s operations and its ability to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its commitments and minimum collateral requirements for its revolving credit facility, as described in Note 8 and Note 10, respectively. In addition, adverse changes to the factors mentioned above may impact the recoverability of the Company’s digital assets, property, plant and equipment and goodwill, resulting in impairment charges being recorded. 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.

 

The common shares of the Company are listed under the trading symbol BITF on Nasdaq and the TSX.

 

c.In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The potential impacts that COVID-19 may have on the Company includes increases in cryptocurrency price volatility and delays in receiving future orders of mining hardware and construction materials required to achieve the Company’s growth objectives. The Company has been, and is expected to continue to be, operating throughout the pandemic. No significant impact of COVID-19 has been observed on the Company’s existing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022; however; the Company has observed longer than usual lead times and greater price fluctuations than usual in procuring mining equipment and construction materials required for the Company’s growth objectives. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments as well as their impact on the financial results and position of the Company and its operating subsidiaries in future periods.

 

d.In these financial statements, the following terms shall have the following definitions:

NOTE 2: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

a.These interim condensed consolidated 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 interim condensed consolidated 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, 2021. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on May 13, 2022.

 

b.The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies used in the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

The accounting policies have been applied consistently by the Company’s entities and to all periods presented in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise indicated.

 

NOTE 3: BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

On November 9, 2021, the Company acquired a cryptocurrency mining facility in Washington state through its wholly owned subsidiary, Backbone Mining Solutions LLC, comprising land, buildings, 17 megawatts of electrical infrastructure, power purchase agreements totaling 12 megawatts and in process power purchase agreement applications totaling 12 megawatts with a local hydro-electric utility producer. The consideration transferred was $26,676, including $23,000 of cash consideration and 414,508 Common shares with a value of $3,676 on the closing date. The seller entered into a consulting agreement with the Company in the amount of $2,000 for services relating to the operation of the facility. The Company also entered into a one-year lease agreement with the seller for a 5 megawatt cryptocurrency mining facility with monthly payments of $110.

 

The primary reason for the acquisition was to expand the Company’s energy portfolio with existing infrastructure to accommodate the Company’s expected delivery schedule of mining equipment.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(In thousands of U.S. dollars, except for data relating to quantity of PPE, shares, warrants and digital assets)

 

NOTE 3: BUSINESS COMBINATION (Cont.)

 

The following are the fair values of the identifiable assets of the date of the acquisition:

 

   November 9, 
   2021 
Consideration transferred    
Cash paid at closing  $23,000 
Value of 414,508 common shares transferred at closing   3,676 
Fair value of total consideration transferred  $26,676 
      
Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired     
Electrical components  $5,954 
Buildings   748 
Land   74 
Intangible assets - favorable lease   2,000 
Total identifiable assets acquired  $8,776 
      
Goodwill  $17,900 

 

Goodwill consists mainly of the benefit the Company expects to receive from acquiring a turnkey facility with active power purchase agreements compared to the timeline and process the Company would undertake to procure new power purchase agreements, the materials and equipment required to build a facility and complete the construction process. The entire amount of goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

 

The total assets recognized in the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 were based on a provisional assessment of their fair value while the Company completed the independent valuation for the electrical components acquired. The valuation had not been finalized by the date the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 were approved for issuance by the Board of Directors.

 

In May 2022, the valuation was finalized, resulting in measurement period adjustments. The acquisition date fair value of the electrical components was $5,954, a decrease of $1,127 compared to the provisional value. In addition, the fair value at the acquisition date of buildings decreased by $7, land decreased by $11 and intangible assets - favourable lease increased by $200. The cumulative impact of these measurement period adjustments were recognized in the interim financial statement as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Impacts on the prior period were considered insignificant. As a result, there was a corresponding increase in goodwill of $945, resulting in $17,900 of total goodwill arising from the acquisition.

 

The Company generated $7,690 and $9,805 of revenues mainly from using the S19j pros installed at the facility, from November 9, 2021 to December 31, 2021 and from January 1, 2022 to March 31, 2022, respectively. Prior to the acquisition, the Company incurred hosting fees of $3,907 during the year ended December 31, 2021.

*See Note 17c for more details about the provision applied to the Argentine value-added tax (VAT) receivable.
**The Company has deposits on BVVE and electrical components in the amount of $70,862, mainly for outstanding orders placed consisting of 48,000 Whatsminer miners with expected delivery in 2022. In addition, the Company has deposits for construction work and materials in the amount of $23,362, mainly for the Argentina expansion. The Company is exposed to counterparty risk through the significant deposits it places with suppliers of mining hardware to secure orders and delivery dates as well as deposits it places with constructions companies and suppliers of electrical components and construction materials. The risk of a supplier failing to meet its contractual obligations may result in late deliveries or long-term deposits and equipment and construction prepayments that are not realized. The Company attempts to mitigate this risk by procuring mining hardware from the larger more established suppliers and with whom the company has existing relationships and knowledge of their reputation in the market as well as insuring deposits placed for construction work and materials.

 

The Company’s remaining payment obligations in connection with the 48,000 unit purchase agreement and an additional purchase agreement for 1,200 Antminer miners are outlined below:

 

   March 31, 
   2022 
Three months ending June 30, 2022   51,276 
Three months ending September 30, 2022   28,391 
Three months ending December 31, 2022   13,890 
   $93,557 

 

The Company will require additional sources of financing to meet the payment obligations included in the table above. As described in Note 1, if the Company were unable to obtain such financing, or the Bitcoin price and network difficulty were adversely impacted, then the Company may have difficulty meeting its payment obligations. If the Company were unable to meet its payment obligations, there could result in the loss of equipment prepayments and deposits paid by the Company under the purchase agreements and remedial legal measures taken against the Company which may include damages and forced continuance of the contractual arrangement. Under these circumstances, the Company’s growth plans and ongoing operations could be adversely impacted.

Revolving credit facility  $100,000   $60,000 
Interest payable on revolving credit facility   592    2 
   $100,592   $60,002 

 

On December 30, 2021, the Company entered into a secured revolving credit facility up to $100,000 for a term of 6 months with Galaxy Digital LLC (the Facility Lender). The facility bears interest at a rate of 10.75% per annum with an unused fee of 0.75% per annum charged on the unused portion of the $100,000 facility. The facility is secured by Bitcoin, with the minimum value of Bitcoin pledged as collateral calculated as 143% of the amount borrowed. The Company is required to contribute additional collateral to the Facility Lender any time the value of the Bitcoin pledged as collateral is below 133% of the amount borrowed. The Company also has the right to require the Facility Lender to return any Bitcoin when the value of the Bitcoin pledged as collateral exceeds 143% of the amount borrowed. A substantial decrease in Bitcoin price may result in the Company being unable to meet the minimum Bitcoin collateral requirements, which could result in the disposition of the Company’s Bitcoin pledged as collateral by the Facility Lender, or repayment of the facility in fiat currency on demand. The Company is exposed to counterparty risk as it is reliant on the Facility Lender to return the Bitcoin collateral upon extinguishment of the credit facility.

 

This agreement contains a covenant where the ending balance of the Company’s net assets of any calendar month cannot decline by:

 

a.25% or more compared to the previous month
   
b.50% or more compared to three months ago
   
c.50% or more compared to any calendar month in the immediately preceding calendar year

 

As of April 30, 2022, the most recently completed calendar month, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants described above.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company drew an additional $40,000 of the credit facility, bringing the total amount drawn to $100,000 as of March 31, 2022. The Company pledged 3,064 Bitcoin as collateral with a fair market value of $139,534 as of March 31, 2022. The pledged Bitcoin is held in a segregated Coinbase Custody account owned by the Facility Lender. Subsequent to the reporting date, an additional 1,870 BTC were held as collateral by the Facility Lender due to the decline in Bitcoin price.

c.Additional details to the components of net financial expenses (income) are as follows:

 

   Three months ended
March 31,
 
   2022   2021 
Loss on revaluation of warrants  $   $19,524 
Loss on embedded derivative       2,641 
Gain on disposition of marketable securities*   (10,937)    
Loss (gain) on currency exchange   858    (322)
Interest on credit facility and long-term debt   2,705    474 
Interest on lease liabilities   305    424 
Warrant issuance costs       668 
Provision on VAT receivable**   2,919     
Other financial expenses   67    16 
   $(4,083)  $23,425 

 

*During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company has continued to fund its expansion in Argentina through the acquisition of marketable securities and in-kind contribution of these securities to a subsidiary in Argentina that it controls. The subsequent disposition of these marketable securities in exchange for Argentine Pesos gave rise to a gain as the amount received in Pesos exceeds the amount of Pesos the Company would have received from a direct foreign currency exchange.
**

The Argentine VAT is not expected to be settled within the next 12 months and therefore it has been classified as long-term in Note 8. The Company has recorded a provision on this VAT receivable, which is classified within net financial expenses (income) during the three months ended March 31, 2022. 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.

 

d.Earnings per share:

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, 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 for diluted earnings per share had their effect not been anti-dilutive, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, would have been approximately 25,142,000.
