HUT 8 MINING CORP.

(In thousands of Canadian dollars, except for per share amounts)
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022
1.
Organization and nature of the business

Hut 8 Mining Corp. was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on June 9, 2011. The registered office of the Company is located at 745 Thurlow Street, Suite 2400, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6E 0C5 and the headquarters are located at 24 Duncan St., Suite 500, Toronto, ON, Canada, M5V 2B8. Hut 8 Mining Corp.’s common shares are listed under the symbol “HUT” on the Toronto Stock Exchange and The Nasdaq Global Select Market.

Hut 8 Mining Corp. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) are primarily in the business of the mining of digital assets – with an operational focus on utilizing specialized equipment to solve complex computational problems to validate transactions on different blockchains and receiving Bitcoin in return for successful services. Additionally, the Company operates cloud and colocation date centre facilities in Canada targeting enterprise customers seeking high performance computing services.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements (“interim financial statements”) were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on August 10, 2022.

2.
Basis of preparation

These interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

These interim financial statements do not include all the disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for annual consolidated financial statements and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 (“annual financial statements”) prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to current presentation.

The preparation of the interim financial statements requires Management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, consistent with those described in the Company’s annual financial statements and as described in these interim financial statements. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions that are considered reasonable in the circumstances. The actual amount or values may vary in certain instances from the assumptions and estimates made. Changes will be recorded, with corresponding effect in profit or loss, when, and if, better information is obtained. The future impact of uncertainties around the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic could generate, in future reporting periods, a significant risk of material adjustment to the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses in the interim financial statements. Examples of accounting estimates and judgments that may be impacted by the pandemic include: revenue recognition, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, and allowance for expected credit losses.

The Company is in the business of digital currencies, many aspects of which are not specifically addressed by current IFRS guidance. IFRS does not currently provide specific guidance to address many aspects of the digital asset industry. The Company is required to make judgments as to the application of IFRS and the selection of its accounting policies. The Company has disclosed its presentation, recognition and derecognition, and measurement of digital currencies, and the recognition of revenue as well as significant assumptions and judgments, however, if specific guidance is enacted by the IASB in the future, the impact may result in changes to the Company’s earnings and financial position as presented.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022
During the three and six month ended June 30, 2021, Management reviewed the Company’s accounting classification related to the digital assets under lending agreement. Under the revised assessment, changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income. Prior to this change, the revaluation of the fair value of the loans receivable was accounted for through profit or loss. Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with this presentation. The gain on revaluation of digital assets of $22,935 for the six month ended June 30, 2021 was reclassified to other comprehensive income.

3.
Selected significant accounting policies

  (a)
Revenue recognition

The high performance computing business earns revenue by providing cloud and colocation services to clients. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for services, net of discounts and sales taxes. Revenue is recognized as the related services are provided to customers. The Company applies the five step IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers model in determining the appropriate treatment of its various sources of revenue. The principal sources of revenue to the Company and recognition of these revenues are as follows:


 -
Monthly recurring revenue (“MRR”) from high performance computing services are recognized as service revenue ratably over the enforceable term of individual contracts which is typically the stated term. The Company satisfies its performance obligation as these services are made available over time. The Company believes this method to be the best representation of transfer of services as it is consistent with industry practice to measure satisfaction through passage of time.


-
Transaction price is determined as the list price of services (net of discounts) that the Company delivers to its customers, taking into account the term of each individual contract, and the ability to enforce and collect the consideration.


-
Revenue from installation services, which are not treated as distinct performance obligations, are recognized over the enforceable term of individual contracts consistent with the schedule of MRR discussed above.


-
Usage revenue (overage and consumption-based services) is recorded as service revenue in the month the usage is incurred/service is consumed by the customer, based on a fixed agreed upon amount per unit consumed.


-
Payment is typically due at the beginning of each month for MRR services and at the end of each month for usage revenue


(i)
Sale of bundled services

The Company offers certain customers bundled connectivity, colocation, and cloud services. Total consideration in contracts with customers are allocated to distinct performance obligations based on their stand-alone selling prices. The Company determined the stand-alone selling price to be the list price at which the Company sells connectivity, and colocation and cloud services.

  (ii)
Service Credits

The Company has obligations for credits under its contracts with customers when certain criteria are met. Credits are measured at agreed upon contractual rates and are recognized net of revenue and presented in total revenue on the statement of comprehensive loss.

  (b)
Goodwill:

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the Company’s business acquisitions over the fair value of the Company’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment charges and is not amortized but is subject to an impairment test annually and whenever impairment indicators are identified.

  (c)
Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of customer relationships acquired through acquisitions or business combinations.

Intangible assets acquired as part of business acquisitions are measured initially at fair value.

Intangible assets with a finite life are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Amortization is recognized over the assets’ estimated useful lives as follows:

Customer relationships
8 years
  

Amortization expense has been presented in profit or loss as amortization. Assets are removed from asset and accumulated amortization balances once they become fully amortized. Proceeds from disposals are netted against the related assets and accumulated amortization, and resulting gains and losses are included in profit or loss.

Business acquisition

On January 31, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of TeraGo’s cloud and colocation high performance computing business. The purchase price of the acquisition was $30.2 million. The purchase price on Closing was satisfied by delivering cash. The acquisition consisted of five data centres across Canada. The high performance computing business spans from Toronto, Ontario to Vancouver, British Columbia with more than 36,000 square feet of geo-diverse data centre space.

The acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The goodwill is primarily attributable to the ability to expand the Company’s presence in the digital asset ecosystem and strengthen its competitive position. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. The Company is currently evaluating the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and given the recent date of acquisition, the process is still ongoing. The allocation of the purchase consideration for this acquisition is preliminary and is as follows:

Financial instruments and risk management

Financial hierarchy:

Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurements. The hierarchy is summarized as follows:

Level 1:
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2:
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly from observable market data; and
Level 3:
Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The Company’s financial instruments have been classified as follows:

The Company determined that the carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate the corresponding fair value because of the relatively short periods to maturity of these instruments and the low credit risk.

The loans payable balance has a carrying value of $29.8 million (December 31, 2021 - $40.1 million) and a fair value of $31.0 million (December 31, 2021 - $41.5 million). The fair value is determined based on the cost of borrowing for a company with a similar risk profile (Level 2).

12.
Digital assets and risk management

(a)
Digital assets

Digital assets are measured using Level 2 fair values, determined by taking the rate from Coinmarketcap.

Digital asset prices are affected by various forces including global supply and demand, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation and the global political and economic conditions. The profitability of the Company is directly related to the current and future market price of digital assets; in addition, the Company may not be able liquidate its inventory of digital assets at its desired price if required. A decline in the market prices for digital assets could negatively impact the Company’s future operations. The Company has not hedged the conversion of any of its sales of digital assets.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022
Digital assets have a limited history and the fair value historically has been relatively volatile. Historical performance of digital assets is not indicative of their future price performance. The Company’s digital assets currently solely consist of Bitcoin.

The Company’s digital assets subject to Lending Arrangements are exposed to credit risk. The Company limits its credit risk by loaning the digital assets to counterparties that are believed to have sufficient capital to meet their obligations as they come due based on the Company’s review of their size, credit quality and reputation. As of each reporting period, the Company assesses if there are significant increases in credit risk requiring recognition of a loss or write-down. Such loss or write-down would be reflected in the fair value of the digital assets subject to Lending Arrangements. While the Company intends to only transact with counterparties that it believes to be creditworthy, there can be no assurance that a counterparty will not default and that the Company will not sustain a material loss on a transaction as a result. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company terminated the Lending Agreements and retrieved the digital assets lent under the Lending Agreements.

The Company uses the services of BitGo Trust Company Inc. (“BitGo”). BitGo carries a US$100.0 million insurance policy backing its digital asset custody services. Hut 8 does not self-custody its Bitcoin.

As of June 30, 2022, had the market price of Bitcoin increased or decreased by 10% with all other variables held constant, the corresponding digital assets value increase or decrease respectively would amount to $18.9 million.
