2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company maintains cash balances in non-interest-bearing accounts that at times may exceed federally insured limits.  For the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at June 30, 2024.

 

Deposits

 

We contract with service providers for hosting of our data processing equipment and operational support in data centers where the Company’s data processing equipment is deployed. These arrangements typically require advance payments to vendors pursuant to the contractual obligations associated with these services. Additionally, from time to time, our vendors require deposits be paid by us and held by them in the normal course of business. The Company classifies these payments as “Deposits, current” or “Deposits” in the Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, such deposits totaled $578,147 and $578,147, respectively. During the year ended June 30, 2024, deposits in the amount of $578,147 were reclassified from long-term assets to current assets, a result of the Company’s intent to no longer use their current service provider for hosting.

 

Digital Assets

 

Digital assets are included in current assets in the Balance Sheets due to the Company’s ability to sell bitcoin in a highly liquid marketplace and the sale of bitcoin to fund operating expenses to support operations. The proceeds from the sale of digital assets and the purchase of digital assets are included within investing activities in the accompanying Statement of Cash Flows. Digital Assets awarded to the Company through its mining activities are accounted for in connection with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. Following the adoption of ASU 2023-08 effective July 1, 2023, the Company measures digital assets at fair value with changes recognized in operating expenses in the Statement of Operations. The Company tracks its cost basis of digital assets by-wallet in accordance with the first-in-first-out (“FIFO”) method of accounting. Refer to NOTE 4. DIGITAL ASSETS, for further information regarding the Company’s impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-08.

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment, consisting primarily of computer and other cryptocurrency mining equipment (transaction verification servers), is stated at the lower of cost or estimated realizable value and is depreciated when placed into service using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. Management has assessed the basis of depreciation of these assets and believes they should be depreciated over a three-year period due to technological obsolescence reflecting rapid development of hardware that has faster processing capacity and other factors.  Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and improvements are capitalized. Gains or losses on the disposition of property and equipment are recorded upon disposal.

 

During the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company discontinued the use of damaged or non-serviceable mining equipment and wrote off its net book value of $367,404 and $1,197,522, respectively, to loss on disposition of property and equipment.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we impaired mining equipment and recognized impairment expense of $1,101,542 and $5,574,363, respectively.

 

Management has determined that the three-year diminishing value best reflects the current expected useful life of transaction verification servers. This assessment takes into consideration the availability of historical data and management’s expectations regarding the direction of the industry including potential changes in technology. Management will review this estimate annually and will revise such estimates as and when data becomes available.

 

To the extent that any of the assumptions underlying management’s estimate of useful life of its transaction verification servers are subject to revision in a future reporting period, either as a result of changes in circumstances or through the availability of greater quantities of data, then the estimated useful life could change and have a prospective impact on depreciation expense and the carrying amounts of these assets.

 

Payments to equipment suppliers prior to shipment of the equipment are recorded as equipment deposits.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

All assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 350 and ASC 360. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the expected undiscounted cash flows of the asset, an impairment charge is recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds fair value or net realizable value. The testing of these intangibles under established guidelines for impairment requires significant use of judgment and assumptions. Changes in forecasted operations and other assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair values. Changes in business conditions could potentially require adjustments to these asset valuations. During the year ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we impaired mining equipment and recognized impairment expense of $1,101,542 and $5,574,363, respectively.  

 

Mezzanine

 

Series C and D preferred stock that contain certain default provisions requiring mandatory cash redemption that are outside the control of the Company are recorded as Mezzanine in the accompanying balance sheets.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for all equity-based payments in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock awards, stock options, warrants and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. The value of the portion of an award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line attribution method. The fair value of a stock award is recorded at the fair market value of a share of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options and warrants at the grant date by using an appropriate fair value model such as the Black-Scholes option pricing model or multinomial lattice models.

 

The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards based upon ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. ASC 505-50 requires the costs of goods and services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments to be recognized using the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value of the equity award, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of the equity award is determined on the measurement date, which is the earlier of the date that a performance commitment is reached or the date that performance is complete. Generally, our awards do not entail performance commitments. When an award vests over time such that performance occurs over multiple reporting periods, we estimate the fair value of the award as of the end of each reporting period and recognize an appropriate portion of the cost based on the fair value on that date. When the award vests, we adjust the cost previously recognized so that the cost ultimately recognized is equivalent to the fair value on the date the performance is complete.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  This standard provides a single comprehensive model to be used in the accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers, including industry-specific guidance. The standard’s stated core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, ASC 606 includes provisions within a five-step model that includes identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when, or as, an entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Our revenues currently consist of digital asset mining revenues recognized in accordance with ASC 606 as discussed above.

 

To generate revenue from mining bitcoin, the Company has entered into a digital asset mining pool by executing a contract, as amended from time to time, with the mining pool operator to provide computing power to the mining pool. The contract is terminable at any time by either party without penalty and the Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when the Company provides computing power to the mining pool operator. In exchange for providing computing power, we are entitled to a Full-Pay-Per-Share payout of Bitcoin based on a contractual formula, which primarily calculates the hash rate provided by us to the mining pool as a percentage of total network hash rate, and other inputs. We are entitled to consideration even if a block is not successfully placed by the mining pool operator.

 

Providing computing power to solve complex cryptographic algorithms in support of the Bitcoin blockchain (in a process known as “solving a block”) is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The provision of providing such computing power is the only performance obligation in the Company’s contracts with the mining pool operator. The transaction consideration the Company receives is net of a contractually agreed upon “pool fee percentage” charged and kept by the mining pool operator and is noncash, in the form of Bitcoin, which the Company measures at fair value on the date Bitcoin is received. This value is not materially different than the fair value at the moment we meet the performance obligation, which can be recalculated based on the contractual formula. The consideration is variable. The amount of consideration recognized is constrained to the amount of consideration received, which is when it is probable a significant reversal will not occur. There is no significant financing component or risk of a significant revenue reversal in these transactions due to the performance obligations and settlement of the transactions being on a daily basis.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

 

Management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the consideration of all available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes in assumptions in future periods may require we adjust our valuation allowance, which could materially impact our financial position and results of operations. The Company recognizes the benefit of an uncertain tax position that it has taken or expects to take on its income tax return, if such a position is more likely than not to be sustained.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic net income or loss per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted income or loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as “in-the-money” stock options and warrants, convertible debt and convertible preferred stock, were exercised or converted into common stock.  Equivalent shares are not utilized when the effect is anti-dilutive.  For the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, basic and diluted income per share were the same, as all securities had an antidilutive effect.

 

The following table presents potentially dilutive securities that were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments 

 

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

 

We recognize financial instruments under the following fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:

 

 

Level 1: 

quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

 

 

 

 

Level 2:  

observable inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and

 

 

 

 

 

Level 3:  

assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. 

 

The Company will update its assumptions each reporting period based on new developments and record such amounts at fair value based on the revised assumptions until the agreements expire or contingency is resolved, as applicable.

 

The following tables present the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The Company did not have assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2023.

 

Assets and liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis

 

In addition to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, we also measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Our non-financial assets, including property and equipment, are measured at fair value when there is an indication of impairment and the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s projected undiscounted cash flows. These assets are recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized.

 

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the fair values of cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximated their carrying values because of their short-term nature.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets. The amendments in ASU No. 2023-08 are intended to improve the accounting for certain crypto assets by requiring an entity to measure those crypto assets at fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The amendments also improve the information provided to investors about an entity’s crypto asset holdings by requiring disclosure about significant holdings, contractual sale restrictions, and changes during the reporting period. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2023-08 for the year ended June 30, 2024, effective as of July 1, 2023, which had a material impact on the Financial Statements. Refer to Note 4. DIGITAL ASSETS, for further information.

There were no new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB during the year ended June 30, 2024 and through the date of filing this report which the Company believes will have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the year ended June 30, 2024.
