NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except data relating to number of PPE, shares, warrants, options 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 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 common shares of the Company are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market and the Toronto Stock Exchange (NASDAQ/TSX: BITF). Its registered office is located at 110 Yonge Street, Suite 1601, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5C 1T4.

 

The activities of the Company are mainly comprised of selling its computational power used for hashing calculations for the purpose of cryptocurrency mining in multiple jurisdictions as described in Note 22 “Geographical Information”. The Company’s operations are currently located in Canada, the United States, Argentina and Paraguay. Volta, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, 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 Bitcoin Blockchain (referred to as “Mining”). Bitfarms generally operates its Miners 24 hours a day to produce computational power used for hashing calculations (measured by hashrate) that Bitfarms sells to a Mining Pool under a formula-driven rate commonly known in the industry as Full Pay Per Share (“FPPS”). Under FPPS, Mining Pools compensate Mining companies for their computational power used for hashing calculations, measured through hashrate, based on what the Mining 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 computational power used for hashing calculations may be in cryptocurrency, U.S. dollars, or another currency. However, the fees are generally paid to the Company on a daily basis in BTC. Bitfarms accumulates the cryptocurrency fees it receives or exchanges them for U.S. dollars through reputable and established cryptocurrency trading platforms.

NOTE 2: LIQUIDITY

 

Bitfarms is primarily engaged in the cryptocurrency Mining industry, a highly volatile industry subject to 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 indicate that the Company will generate positive cash flow in excess of the Company’s cash commitments within the twelve-month period. These analyses are based on BTC market factors including price, difficulty and network hashrate for the twelve-month period following the date these interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance.

 

A BTC Halving is scheduled to occur once every 210,000 blocks, or roughly every four years, until the total amount of BTC rewards issued reaches 21 million, which is expected to occur around 2140. The most recent BTC Halving occurred on April 19, 2024, at which time BTC block rewards decreased from 6.25 BTC per block to 3.125 BTC per block. Once 21 million BTC are generated on or about the year 2140, the network will stop producing more BTC, and the industry will then need to rely on transaction fees and/or other sources of revenue. While BTC prices have had a history of significant fluctuations around BTC Halving events, there is no guarantee that the price change will be favorable or would compensate for the reduction in Mining rewards and the compensation from Mining Pools.

 

At current BTC prices, the Company’s existing cash resources and the proceeds from sales of its BTC treasury and BTC earned may not be sufficient to fund capital investments to support its growth objectives. If the proceeds from the sale of BTC 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’ ownership in the Company may be diluted. If the Company is unable to obtain financing, including by issuing securities, or if funds from operations and proceeds from sales of the Company’s BTC holdings are negatively impacted by the BTC price, the Company may have difficulty meeting its payment obligations.

NOTE 3: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

 

a.Basis of preparation and measurement

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements (“Financial Statements”) of the Company comprise the accounts of Bitfarms Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. These Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors on May 14, 2024.

 

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, 2023.

 

These Financial Statements have been prepared under the same accounting policies used in the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, 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, and assets held for sale measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

NOTE 3: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (Continued)

 

b.New accounting amendments issued and adopted by the Company

 

The following amendments to existing standards were adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2024:

 

Amendments to IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”) 

Amendments to IFRS 16 require a seller-lessee to subsequently measure lease liabilities arising from a leaseback in a manner that does not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right-of-use retained. The new requirements do not prevent a seller-lessee from recognizing in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of a lease.

 

Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of the Financial Statements (“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 that an entity might settle by converting 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 be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

 

Amendments to IAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows (“IAS 7”) and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures (“IFRS 7”)

Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 introduce disclosure requirements to enhance the transparency of supplier finance arrangements and their effects on an entity’s liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk.

 

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

 

c.New accounting amendments and standard 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, 2025, with an earlier application permitted:

 

Amendments to IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates (“IAS 21”)

Amendments to IAS 21 require an entity to apply a consistent approach in assessing whether a currency can be exchanged into another currency and, when it cannot, in determining the exchange rate to use and the disclosures to provide.

 

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

NOTE 3: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (Continued)

 

c.New accounting amendments and standard issued to be adopted at a later date (Continued)

 

The following new standard has been issued and is applicable to the Company for its annual period beginning on January 1, 2027, with an earlier application permitted:

 

IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”)

On April 9, 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board issued IFRS 18, the new standard on presentation and disclosure in financial statements, which will replace IAS 1, with a focus on updates to the statement of profit or loss. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to:

the structure of the statement of profit or loss, including specified totals and subtotals;

required disclosures in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity’s financial statements (i.e., management-defined performance measures); and

enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes in general.

 

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

NOTE 3: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (Continued)

 

d.Restatement

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company identified errors in its accounting for warrants issued in connection with certain private placement financings in 2021. The warrants and broker warrants are convertible for a fixed number of common shares of the Company but have a contingent cashless exercise clause which results in a classification of the warrants and broker warrants as a financial liability and measurement of such warrants at fair value through profit or loss, not equity.

 

The effects of the restatement on the affected financial statement line items for the prior period are as follows:

NOTE 4: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of the Financial Statements requires Management to undertake 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, 2023, except for the following:

 

Property, plant and equipment

Estimates of useful lives, residual values and methods of depreciation are reviewed annually. Any changes based on additional available information are accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, in connection with the replacement of older Miners following the Company’s transformative fleet upgrade as described in Note 9 - Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company reviewed and adjusted the useful lives, residual values and method of depreciation of older Miners that will be replaced by the new fleet in 2024.

 

For these Miners, the depreciation was accelerated to bring the book value to the estimated recoverable value at the time they are expected to be replaced. The residual values were adjusted to reflect the expected proceeds from the eventual sale and the depreciation method was modified from sum-of-years to straight-line method.

NOTE 7: DERIVATIVE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

 

BTC option contracts

Starting in the first quarter of 2023, the Company purchased BTC option contracts that gave it the right, but not the obligation, to sell digital assets at a fixed price. Option contracts are used to reduce the risk of BTC price volatility and reduce the variability of cash flows resulting from future sales of digital assets. The Company did not apply hedge accounting on these contracts.

NOTE 7: DERIVATIVE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (Continued)

 

Warrant liabilities

The fair value of warrant liabilities is as follows:

 

   As of
March 31,
   As of
December 31,
 
   2024   2023 
2023 private placement   16,586    34,276 
2021 private placements   1,990    6,150 
    18,576    40,426 

 

In November 2023, the Company completed a private placement that included 22,222,000 warrants and 3,000,000 broker warrants to purchase common shares. The warrants and broker warrants are convertible for a fixed number of common shares of the Company but have a contingent cashless exercise clause which results in a classification of the warrants and broker warrants as a financial liability and measurement of such warrants at fair value through profit or loss recognized in Net financial income.

 

Details of the outstanding warrants are as follows:

 

   Three months ended March 31, 
   2024   2023 
   Number of
warrants
   Weighted
average exercise
price (USD)
   Number of

Outstanding, January 1,   35,105,000    2.83    19,153,000    4.21 
Exercised   (5,111,000)   1.17         
Expired   (121,000)   2.47         
Outstanding, March 31,   29,873,000    3.12    19,153,000    4.21 

 

The weighted average contractual life of the warrants as of March 31, 2024, was 1.1 years (March 31, 2023: 1.2 years).

 

On January 7, 2024, 96,000 broker warrants from the January 7, 2021 private placement expired and were derecognized, which resulted in a non-cash gain on revaluation of warrants of $61 included in Net financial income.

 

In February 2024, 5,000,000 warrants and 111,000 broker warrants related to the 2023 private placement were exercised resulting in the issuance of 5,111,000 common shares for proceeds of approximately $5,986.

 

On March 11, 2024, 25,000 warrants relating to the acquisition of the Garlock building in Quebec issued during the first quarter of 2022 expired. These warrants were recorded as equity instruments.

Changes in the useful life, residual value and depreciation method of certain BVVE

i.Background

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company exercised its purchase option for 28,000 Bitmain T21 Miners and entered into purchase agreements to acquire 19,280 Bitmain T21 Miners, 3,888 Bitmain S21 Miners and 740 Bitmain S21 hydro Miners. Refer to Note 11 for more details. The Company intends to liquidate its older Miners that are expected to be replaced with the Bitmain T21 Miners, Bitmain S21 Miners, Bitmain S21 hydro Miners and other hydro Miners.

 

ii.Accelerated depreciation

The older Miners will remain in service until the new Miners are installed to replace them. The Company has changed the usage and the retention strategy of the older Miners and, accordingly, revised their specific useful life, residual value and depreciation method.

 

The changes are summarized as follows:

decreasing the specific useful life of the older Miners from 5 years to 2 years to reflect their eventual disposal in 2024;
decreasing the residual values to reflect the expected proceeds from the eventual disposals; and
accelerating the depreciation method from sum-of-years over 5 years to straight-line method over 2 years to represent the change in pattern in which their future economic benefits are expected to be consumed by the Company.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded accelerated depreciation of $18,503 on its older Miners. These assets are expected to be depreciated to their residual values by the end of 2024.

 

The decision to replace the older Miners, as well as a review of the useful life, residual value and depreciation method were indicators for impairment testing. As a result, the Company performed evaluations of the recoverable amount of the assets for operating the cryptocurrency mining facilities in Quebec, Washington State, Argentina and Paraguay separately. Based on its calculations, which were based on discounted cash flow models, the Company determined that no impairment loss should be recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Additions related to access rights to electricity

In April 2023, the Company received approval from the power supplier in Washington State for a 6 MW expansion. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company began constructing an additional production facility on Company-owned land and paid $912 to the power supplier for establishing the connection, which was capitalized as long-term deposits, equipment, prepayments and other. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the power supplier established the electricity connection, allowing the Company to access the 6 MW of hydro power capacity. As a result, the balance of $912 was reclassified from long-term deposits, equipment, prepayments and other to intangible assets.

In December 2022, the Company renegotiated its previous purchase agreements for 48,000 Miners by extinguishing the outstanding commitments of $45,350 without penalty and establishing a $22,376 credit for deposits previously made. The Company received $3,279 of Miners, reducing the outstanding credit balance to $19,097 of as December 31, 2022, which was fully utilized during 2023 for the acquisition of hydro Miners and hydro containers. These items were received or in transit during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the long-term deposit balance was reduced to nil upon the transfer to property, plant and equipment.

ii.Bitmain T21 Miners Purchase Order and Purchase Option

During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company placed a firm purchase order for 35,888 Bitmain T21 Miners (the “Purchase Order’’) totaling $95,462 with deliveries scheduled from March 2024 to May 2024 and made a non-refundable deposit of $9,464. In addition, the Company secured a purchase option for an additional 28,000 Bitmain T21 Miners (the “Purchase Option’’) totaling $74,480 and made a non-refundable deposit of $7,448. This Purchase Option gives the Company the right, exercisable until December 31, 2024, but not the obligation, to purchase, up to 28,000 additional Bitmain T21 Miners.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company made additional deposits of $57,356 towards the Purchase Order, of which approximately 3,000 Bitmain T21 Miners with a book value of $7,935 were received or in transit. During the same period, the Company also fully exercised the Purchase Option with deliveries scheduled from September 2024 to October 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the deposit balance for the Purchase Order and the Purchase Option was $66,333.

 

iii.March 2024 Purchase Order

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company purchased an additional 19,280 Bitmain T21 Miners, 3,888 Bitmain S21 Miners and 740 Bitmain S21 Hydro Miners (collectively defined as the “March 2024 Purchase Order’’) for $51,285, $13,608 and $4,338, respectively, with deliveries scheduled from April 2024 to November 2024. The Company made a deposit of $8,718 for the March 2024 Purchase Order during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

 

iv.Other BVVE and electrical components

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had deposits for other BVVE and electrical components in the amount of $4,963.

 

v.Construction work and materials

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had deposits for construction work and materials in the amount of $8,271, mainly for the Paraguay expansions.

 

b.Commitments

 

The Company’s remaining payment obligations in connection with the Purchase Order, the Purchase Option and the March 2024 Purchase Order are outlined below:

 

   As of
March 31,
 
   2024 
Three months ending June 30, 2024   39,528 
Three months ending September 30, 2024   85,889 
Three months ending December 31, 2024   30,772 
    156,189 

 

If the Company is unable to meet its payment obligations, it could result in the loss of equipment prepayments and deposits paid by the Company under the Purchase Order and remedial legal measures being taken against the Company, which may result in damages payable by the Company and forced continuance of the contractual arrangement. Under such circumstances, the Company’s growth plans and ongoing operations could be adversely impacted.

c.Contingent liability

 

In 2021, the Company imported Miners into Washington State that the vendor located in China claimed originated in Malaysia. In early 2022, U.S. Customs and Border Protection challenged the origination of the Miners, asserting their manufacture in China, and notified the Company of a potential assessment of a U.S. importation duty of 25%.

 

During the third quarter of 2023, the Company submitted the supporting documentation to U.S. Customs and Border Protection in defense of its position that the Miners were manufactured outside China and the associated custom duties in the amount of $9,424 do not apply. While the final outcome of this matter is uncertain at this time, Management has determined it is not probable that it will result in a future cash outflow for the Company, and, as such, no provision was recorded as of March 31, 2024.

NOTE 13: LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)

 

a.Building financing

 

During three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company sold its Garlock building in Sherbrooke, Quebec for $1,695 and immediately leased it back for 10 years. Since the lease agreement included a substantive repurchase option of the building in a form of a call option, the Company has not transferred the control of the asset to the buyer, and the transaction does not qualify as a sale. Accordingly, it is accounted for as a financing arrangement for the proceeds received from the buyer, and the building continues to be recognized as property, plant and equipment of the Company.

 

b.Equipment financing activity

 

Repayment of NYDIG Loan

In June 2022, Backbone entered into an equipment financing agreement, referred to as the NYDIG Loan”, for gross proceeds of $36,860 collateralized by 10,395 WhatsMiner M30S Miners. The net proceeds received by the Company were $36,123, net of origination and closing fees of $737. As part of the agreement, the Company was required to maintain in a segregated wallet an approximate quantity of BTC whose value equates to at least one month of interest and principal payments on the outstanding loan. The pledged BTC was held in a segregated Coinbase Custody account and owned by the Company unless there was an event of default under the NYDIG Loan.

 

During three months ended March 31, 2024, the NYDIG Loan balance was fully repaid, and the Company’s Miners collateralizing the loan and BTC pledged as collateral became unencumbered.

 

Repayment of Foundry Loans #2, #3 and #4

In April and May 2021, the Company entered into four loan agreements for the acquisition of 2,465 WhatsMiner Miners referred to as “Foundry Loans #1, #2, #3 and #4.” During 2022, Foundry Loan #1 matured and was fully repaid. In January 2023, the principal amounts of the remaining Foundry Loans #2, #3 and #4 were fully repaid before their maturity date with forgiveness of prepayment penalties totaling $829.

 

Settlement of the loan with BlockFi Lending LLC (“BlockFi”)

In February 2022, Backbone Mining 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, Backbone Mining ceased making installment payments, which constituted a default under the loan agreement, and the BlockFi 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 expenses (income) in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and comprehensive profit or 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 15: 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, 2024, the Company has analyzed the recoverability of its deferred tax assets and has concluded that it is not more likely than not that sufficient taxable profit is expected to utilize these deferred tax assets.

NOTE 16: SHARE CAPITAL

 

Common shares

The Company’s authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of common shares without par value. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had 356,292,000 issued and outstanding common shares (December 31, 2023: 334,153,000).

 

i.At-The-Market Equity Offering Program (“ATM Program”)

Bitfarms commenced an at-the-market equity offering program on March 11, 2024 (the “2024 ATM Program”), pursuant to which the Company may, at its discretion and from time-to-time, sell common shares of the Company, resulting in the Company receiving aggregate gross proceeds of up to $375,000.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company issued 16,997,000 common shares in the 2024 ATM Program in exchange for gross proceeds of $39,341 at an average share price of approximately $2.31. The Company received net proceeds of $38,107 after paying commissions of $1,180 to the sales agent for the 2024 ATM Program and $54 in other transaction costs. The Company capitalized $839 of professional fees and registration expenses to initiate the 2024 ATM Program.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company issued 15,940,000 common shares in the 2021 ATM Program in exchange for gross proceeds of $16,360 at an average share price of approximately $1.03.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, option holders exercised stock options to acquire 31,000 common shares (three months ended March 31, 2023: 122,000) resulting in proceeds of approximately $41 (three months ended March 31, 2023: $47) being paid to the Company.

 

iii.Warrants

In February 2024, 5,000,000 warrants and 111,000 broker warrants related to the 2023 private placement were exercised resulting in the issuance of 5,111,000 common shares for proceeds of approximately $5,986.

 

The Black Scholes model and the inputs described in Note 7 were used in determining the values of the warrants and broker warrants prior to their derecognition, which resulted in a non-cash loss on revaluation of warrants of $1,836 included in Net financial income.

NOTE 17: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Measurement categories and fair value

Financial assets and financial liabilities have been classified into categories that determine their basis of measurement. The following tables show the carrying values and the fair value of assets and liabilities for each of the applicable categories:

 

      As of
March 31,
   As of
December 31,
 
Measurement  2024   2023 
Financial assets at amortized cost           
Cash  Level 1   65,961    84,038 
Trade receivables  Level 3   729    714 
Other receivables  Level 3   1,437    689 
              
Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss             
Derivative assets  Level 2   3,016    1,281 
Total carrying amount and fair value      71,143    86,722 
              
Financial liabilities at amortized cost             
Trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities  Level 3   10,669    9,077 
Long-term debt  Level 2   1,642    4,022 
              
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss             
Warrant liabilities  Level 2   18,576    40,426 
Total carrying amount and fair value      30,887    53,525 
              
Net carrying amount and fair value      40,256    33,197 

 

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

 

BTC option contracts

The fair value of option contracts is categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and is presented under derivative assets and liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position when there is an outstanding contract at period end. Their fair values are a recurring measurement. Fair value of derivative financial instruments generally reflects the estimated amounts that the Company would receive or pay, taking into consideration the counterparty credit risk or the Company’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.

 

Warrant liabilities

Warrant liabilities related to the 2021 and 2023 private placements are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss with the change in fair value recorded to Net financial income. The fair value measurement is categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, is a recurring measurement and is calculated using a Black-Scholes pricing model at each reporting date.

Amounts due to related parties are unsecured, non-interest bearing and payable on demand.

 

Transactions with related parties

In March 2024, the Board of Directors elected to terminate the employment agreement of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”). It was planned that the CEO would depart upon completion of an executive search and would lead the Company during the interim. A termination payment under the CEO’s employment agreement totaling $1,614 is expected to be paid after the CEO’s departure. However, the final amount of the termination payment has not yet been agreed to by the Company and the CEO and may be subject to change. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, $1,614 was accrued and included in Trade payables and accrued liabilities (as of December 31, 2023: nil).

 

The transaction described above occurred in the normal course of operations and recognized in profit or loss under General and administrative expenses.

 

NOTE 19: NET LOSS PER SHARE

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, potentially dilutive securities have not been included in the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive. 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 months ended March 31, 2024, would have totaled approximately 16,035,000 (three months ended March 31, 2023: 3,577,000).

NOTE 21: ADDITIONAL DETAILS TO THE STATEMENT OF PROFIT OR LOSS AND COMPREHENSIVE PROFIT OR LOSS (Continued)

 

Net financial income (Continued)

 

a.Gain on disposition of marketable securities

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company funded its expansion in Argentina through the acquisition of marketable securities and the in-kind contribution of those securities to the Company’s subsidiary in Argentina. The subsequent disposition of those 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.

 

b.Provision expense on VAT receivable

Due to the political and economic uncertainties in Argentina, the Company is uncertain when, or if at all, the Argentine VAT receivable will be settled. As a result, the Company has recorded a provision to reduce the Argentine VAT receivable to nil. The provision is classified within Net financial income during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Prior to October 1, 2023, the Argentine VAT not expected to be settled within the next 12 months was classified as a long-term receivable in Note 11 with the short-term portion included in sales tax receivable in Note 5.

NOTE 24: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

2024 ATM Program

During the period from April 1, 2024 to May 14, 2024, the Company issued 42,155,000 common shares through the 2024 ATM Program in exchange for gross proceeds of $85,167 at an average share price of approximately $2.02. The Company received net proceeds of $82,477 after paying commissions of $2,690 to the sales agent. Refer to Note 16 for further details of the Company’s 2024 ATM program.

 

Canadian Sales Tax Refund

In April 2024, the Company received a positive ruling from the tax authorities that Canadian sales taxes paid by the Company will once again be refunded. Between February 5, 2022, the date on which the new tax legislation was enacted, and April 2024, the Company filed monthly sales tax claims totaling approximately $23,703 (CAD$32,000) that were not paid to the Company. The refund of sales taxes relates to sales taxes charged on various expenditures including, but not limited to electricity costs, cost of property, plant and equipment, professional services, etc.

 

Contingent Liability

As described in Note 18, in March 2024, as a result of the Company’s decision to terminate the CEO’s employment, a termination payment of $1,614 was accrued during the three months ended March 31, 2024 based on the terms of the CEO’s employment agreement, and classified in trade payables and accrued liabilities. On May 10, 2024, the CEO filed a Statement of Claim in the Superior Court of Ontario against the Company claiming damages for breach of contract, wrongful dismissal and aggravated and punitive damages for a total amount of $26,676. The Company believes the claims are without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously against the claims. Such matters are inherently uncertain, and there can be no guarantee that the outcome of any such matter will be decided favorably to the Company. The loss, if any, is not estimable at this time and Management does not believe the outcome of this matter will have a material adverse impact on its results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

 

Yguazu Power Purchase Agreement Amendment

On May 13, 2024, the Company amended its power purchase agreement (“PPA”) for its future Yguazu facility in Paraguay to increase the contracted power from 100 MW to 200 MW beginning on January 1, 2025. The Company is required to pay security deposits totaling $16,245 between June 2024 and January 2025 for future electricity consumption. The security deposits paid to the energy supplier are refundable at the end of the contract term in December 2027 assuming the Company draws power based on the agreed upon schedule and is not in breach of other clauses in the PPA.
