Digihost Technology Inc.
Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
(Expressed in United States Dollars) (Unaudited)

 

1. Nature of operations and going concern

 

Digihost Technology Inc. (the “Company” or “Digihost”) and its subsidiaries, Digihost International, Inc., DGX Holding, LLC, and World Generation X, LLC (together the “Company”) is a blockchain technology company with operations in cryptocurrency mining and also a supplier of energy through its recent acquisition of a power plant. The head office of the Company is located at 2830 Produce Row, Houston, TX, 77023.

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company were reviewed, approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on August 14, 2024.

 

Going Concern

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assume that the Company will continue in operation and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to twelve months from the end of the reporting period. The use of these principles may not be appropriate.

 

As at June 30, 2024, the Company has working capital deficiency of $1,762,605 (December 31, 2023 - working capital deficiency of $3,064,351). The current working capital is not sufficient to meet the Company’s requirements and business growth initiatives. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability generate positive cashflows from its operations and to raise additional financing. Even if the Company has been successful in the past in raising financings, there is no assurance that it will manage to obtain additional financing in the future.

 

These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments or disclosures that may be necessary should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern. If this were the case, these adjustments could be material.

 

2. Material accounting policies

 

(a) Statement of compliance

 

The Company applies IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.

 

The policies applied in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of August 14, 2024, the date the Board of Directors approved the statements. The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as compared with the most recent annual financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2023. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2024 could result in restatement of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

(Expressed in United States Dollars) (Unaudited)

 

2. Material accounting policies (continued)

 

(b) Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Company.

 

At the date of authorization of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, several new, but not yet effective, standards and amendments to existing standards, and interpretations have been published by the IASB. None of these standards or amendments to existing standards have been adopted early by the Company. Management anticipates that all relevant pronouncements will be adopted for the first period beginning on or after the effective date of the pronouncement. New standards, amendments and interpretations not adopted in the current year have not been disclosed as they are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

 

(c) Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

 

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These financial statements include estimates that, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimate is revised and future years if the revision affects both current and future years. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

 

Significant assumptions about the future that management has made that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

 

Significant judgements

 

(i) Income from digital currency mining

 

The Company recognizes income from digital currency mining from the provision of transaction verification services within digital currency networks, commonly termed “cryptocurrency mining”. As consideration for these services, the Company receives digital currency from each specific network in which it participates (“coins”). Income from digital currency mining is measured based on the fair value of the coins received. The fair value is determined using the spot price of the coin on the date of contract inception. The coins are recorded on the statement of financial position, as digital currencies, at their fair value less costs to sell and re- measured at each reporting date. Revaluation gains or losses, as well as gains or losses on the sale of coins for traditional (fiat) currencies are included in profit or loss in accordance with the Company’s treatment of its digital currencies as a traded commodity.

 

There is currently no specific definitive guidance in IFRS or alternative accounting frameworks for the accounting for the mining and strategic selling of digital currencies and management has exercised significant judgement in determining appropriate accounting treatment for the recognition of income from digital currency mining for mining of digital currencies. Management has examined various factors surrounding the substance of the Company’s operations, including the stage of completion being the completion and addition of a block to a blockchain and the reliability of the measurement of the digital currency received.

 

(ii) Leases – incremental borrowing rate

 

Judgment is applied when determining the incremental borrowing rate used to measure the lease liability of each lease contract, including an estimate of the asset-specific security impact. The incremental borrowing rate should reflect the interest rate the Company would pay to borrow at a similar term and with similar security.

2. Material accounting policies (continued)

 

Significant judgements (continued)

 

(iii) Going concern

 

The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern involves judgment regarding future funding available for its operations and working capital requirements as discussed in Note 1.

 

(iv) Income, value added, withholding and other taxes

 

The Company is subject to income, value added, withholding and other taxes. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provisions for taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. The determination of the Company’s income, value added, withholding and other tax liabilities requires interpretation of complex laws and regulations. The Company’s interpretation of taxation law as applied to transactions and activities may not coincide with the interpretation of the tax authorities. All tax related filings are subject to government audit and potential reassessment subsequent to the financial statement reporting period. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the tax related accruals and deferred income tax provisions in the year in which such determination is made.

 

Significant estimates

 

(i) Determination of asset and liability fair values and allocation of purchase consideration

 

Significant business combinations require judgements and estimates to be made at the date of acquisition in relation to determining the relative fair value of the allocation of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the assets. The information necessary to measure the fair values as at the acquisition date of assets acquired requires management to make certain judgements and estimates about future events, including but not limited to availability of hardware and expertise, future production opportunities, future digital currency prices and future operating costs.

 

(ii) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

 

Depreciation of data miners and equipment are an estimate of its expected life. In order to determine the useful life of computing equipment, assumptions are required about a range of computing industry market and economic factors, including required hashrates, technological changes, availability of hardware and other inputs, and production costs.

 

(iii) Digital currency valuation

 

Digital currencies consist of cryptocurrency denominated assets (note 3) and are included in current assets. Digital currencies are carried at their fair value determined by the spot rate less costs to sell. The digital currency market is still a new market and is highly volatile; historical prices are not necessarily indicative of future value; a significant change in the market prices for digital currencies would have a significant impact on the Company’s earnings and financial position.

 

(v) Data miners valuation

 

Impairment of data miners was estimated based on the recoverable amount of mining equipment based on current market prices and hash rate power per miner type. The recoverable amount represents the higher value between an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Hash rate power refers to the computational power of the mining equipment, which directly affects the mining efficiency and potential revenue generation. As the market prices for mining equipment and hash rate power can vary significantly over time, these factors are considered in estimating the recoverable amount of the assets. The current market prices for mining equipment are obtained from various sources, including manufacturers, distributors, and marketplaces for used equipment. Management reviews and compares these prices regularly to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the data.

13. Warrant liabilities

 

Due to the characteristics of certain warrants, the fixed-for-fixed condition is not met. Therefore the Company records these warrants as financial liabilities measured at fair value upon initial recognition. At each subsequent reporting date, the warrants are re-measured at fair value and the change in fair value is recognized through profit or loss. Upon warrant exercise, the fair value previously recognized in warrant liabilities is transferred from warrant liabilities to share capital.

 

The following table summarizes the changes in the warrant liabilities for the Company’s warrants for the period ending June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

 

   Number of     
   warrants   Amount 
Balance, December 31, 2022   9,098,514   $821,697

23. Financial instruments and risk management

 

Fair value

 

The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature. Mortgage payable and deposit payable are due to arm’s length third parties, the fair values of these payables are measured using relevant market input (Level 3). The fair values of mortgage payable and deposit payable was calculated using actualized cash flows using market rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Reasonable changes to key assumptions would not have a significant impact. Promissory note receivable is due from an arm’s length third party, the fair value of this note is measured using relevant market input (Level 3). Digital currencies, amount owing to Northern Data and loan payable are measured at fair value using the quoted price on Gemini Exchange (Level 2). Warrant liabilities are measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes pricing model (Level 2) (see note 13).

 

Risks

 

Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is on its cash, amounts receivable and promissory note receivable. The cash is deposited in a bank account held with one major bank in the United States so there is a concentration of credit risk. This risk is managed by using a major bank that is a high credit quality financial institution as determined by rating agencies. The Company believes no impairment is necessary in respect of amounts receivable, deposits and promissory note receivable as balances are monitored on a regular basis with the result that exposure to bad debt is insignificant.

 

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining cash balances to ensure that it is able to meet its short term and long-term obligations as and when they fall due. The Company manages cash projections and regularly updates projections for changes in business and fluctuations cause in digital currency prices and exchange rates.

 

The following table summarizes the expected maturity of the Company’s significant financial liabilities and other liabilities based on the remaining period from the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date:

Foreign currency risk

 

Currency risk relates to the risk that the fair values or future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Exchange rate fluctuations affect the costs that the Company incurs in its operations.

 

As the Company operates in an international environment, some of the Company’s financial instruments and transactions are denominated in currencies other than an entity’s functional currency. The fluctuation of the Canadian dollar in relation to the US dollar will consequently impact the profitability of the Company and may also affect the value of the Company’s assets and liabilities and the amount of shareholders’ equity. As at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the foreign currency risk was considered minimal.

 

Digital currency risk

 

Digital currency 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 currencies; in addition, the Company may not be able liquidate its holdings of digital currencies at its desired price if required. A decline in the market prices for digital currencies could negatively impact the Company’s future operations. The Company has not hedged the conversion of any of its sales of digital currencies.

 

Digital currencies have a limited history and the fair value historically has been very volatile. Historical performance of digital currencies is not indicative of their future price performance. The Company’s digital currencies currently consist of Bitcoin.

 

At June 30, 2024, had the market price of the Company’s holdings of Bitcoin increased or decreased by 10% with all other variables held constant, the corresponding asset value increase or decrease respectively would amount to $260,208 (December 31, 2023 - $82,288).

  

24. Subsequent event

 

On August 6, 2024, the Company has entered into subscription agreements with certain institutional investors for gross proceeds of up to $4 million in a private placement of its equity securities, comprised of 3,636,363 units of the Company at a purchase price of $1.10 per unit, representing a premium of 9% to the most recent closing price of the shares on Nasdaq. Each unit is comprised of one subordinate voting share of the Company and one warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional share. The warrants have an exercise price of $2.00 per share and exercise period of three years from the issuance date.

 

The consummation of the private placement is subject to the receipt of all required corporate and regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSXV, and other customary closing conditions. No securities were offered or sold to Canadian residents in connection with the private placement.

DIGIHOST TECHNOLOGY INC.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024

 

Mining operation and network overview

 

Revenue from the Company’s Bitcoin mining operation is recognized based upon the average Bitcoin price in effect on the day the Bitcoins are mined. Bitcoins are received within in a 24-hour period from the actual time they are mined. The Bitcoin price is volatile and can change markedly from day to day. This volatility in price can result in material changes in revenue recorded from period to period.

 

Network mining difficulty is one of the most significant competitive conditions the Company faces in its Bitcoin mining operation. Network difficulty is a unitless measure of how difficult it is to find a hash below a given target. Network difficulty is impacted directly by the price of Bitcoin. As the price of Bitcoin increases network mining difficulty may increase if more competitors begin to mine Bitcoin, which would result in a decrease in the number of Bitcoins mined by the Company based upon its existing computing power. As network difficulty rises the costs to the Company to mine Bitcoin also rises.

 

The Bitcoin network protocol automatically adjusts network difficulty by changing the target every 2,016 blocks hashed based on the time it took for the total computing power used in Bitcoin mining to solve the previous 2,016 blocks such that the average time to solve each block is maintained as close to ten minutes as possible. Price and network difficulty are positively correlated such that as the price of Bitcoin rises, there is an added incentive for miners to enter the market, and such increase in miners typically has a proportional increase in network difficulty.

 

With respect to the conversion of the Company’s Bitcoin to cash, the Company relies on a third-party service provider to broker sales of its mined Bitcoin. In 2022, the Company began to monetize a portion of Bitcoin mined to fund the Company’s operating costs and SG&A expenses, thereby mitigating the need to access equity markets to fund those costs and expenses. This strategy has continued during the entirety of the prior year and to the date of this MD&A.

 

A “mining pool” is a service operated by a mining pool operator that pools the resources of individual miners to share their processing power over a network. Mining pools emerged in response to the growing difficulty and network hash rate competing for Bitcoin rewards on the Bitcoin blockchain as a way of lowering costs and reducing the risk of an individual miner’s mining activities. The mining pool operator provides a service that coordinates the computing power of the independent mining enterprises participating in the mining pool. Mining pools are subject to various risks such as disruption and down time. In the event that a pool we utilize experiences down time or is not yielding returns, our results may be impacted.

 

The Company uses a mining pool that pays Bitcoin rewards utilizing a “Full-Pay-Per-Share” payout of Bitcoin based on a contractual formula, which calculates payout primarily based on the hash rate provided by us to the mining pool as a percentage of total network hash rate, along with other inputs. The Company is entitled to consideration even if a block is not successfully placed by the mining pool operator. The Company transitioned completely to this type of mining pool in 2022 and utilized it for the year ended December 31, 2023 and to the date of this MD&A.

 

Mining Operations

 

Bitcoin

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company held a total of approximately 41 Bitcoins with an inventory value of $2,602,081 based on the Bitcoin price as of that date per the Gemini exchange. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, Digihost mined a total of approximately 174 Bitcoins compared to a total of approximately 359 Bitcoins for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, representing a decrease of 52%.

DIGIHOST TECHNOLOGY INC.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024

 

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, Digihost mined a total of 45 Bitcoins compared to 191 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of 76%.

 

During 2023, the Company entered into various hosting and colocation agreements to diversify its operations which decreased the number of coins mined. The impact of this diversification has impacted year to date 2024 mining results as during the prior year these agreements were beginning to ramp up and the Company became less reliant on strictly self-mining.

 

In addition, in April 2024, the Bitcoin daily reward halved from 6.25 Bitcoin per block, or approximately 900 Bitcoin per day, to 3.125 Bitcoin per block, or approximately 450 Bitcoin per day. The Company continues to monitor the impact of the Bitcoin event on its operations and will continue to differentiate its revenue streams if necessary. Bitcoin halving events are expected to occur approximately every four years, and each halving event may have a potential deleterious impact on the Company’s profitability as the Company will be rewarded less Bitcoin for each new block it records.

 

Ethereum

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company held a total of nil Ethereum as inventory was converted to cash during Q1 2023.

 

Updates and Expansion

 

On February 7, 2023, the Company announced that it had completed the acquisition of a 60 MW power plant in North Tonawanda, NY. Further to the Company’s initial news release on March 24, 2021, the terms of the acquisition were amended to reflect an all-cash purchase price. No shares of the Company were issued in connection with the acquisition.

 

The acquisition represents a significant milestone in the Company’s ongoing infrastructure expansion strategy. As a result of the acquisition, the Company’s consolidated operating capacity across its three sites represents approximately 90MW of available power, representing approximately 2 EH/s of computing power. The generator capacity will continue flexible operation to ensure that 24/7 dispatchable supply is made available to area residents, businesses and industry to mitigate impacts of power interruptions in concert with directives of the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO).

 

A Mining Operations Agreement was entered into on February 16, 2023 by and between the Company and Northern Data NY, LLC (“ND”). Under the terms of the agreement, Digihost agreed to provide the requisite power and ancillary operational functions in order for the digital currency mining equipment on its property to run efficiently outside of its facilities. The agreement was not renewed by the December 31, 2023, renewal date and expired in April 2024. Subsequently, the parties entered into a new agreement that expired on June 27, 2024. There are currently no plans for the parties to pursue a new agreement.

 

A Colocation Services Agreement was entered into on April 20, 2023, by and between the Company and Bit Digital USA, Inc. (“Bit”). Under the terms of the agreement, Digihost will provide hosting services in return for reimbursement of power consumption per the contractual terms.

 

A Colocation Services Agreement was entered into on September 21, 2023 by and between the Company and Corner Energy LTD (“Corner”). Under the terms of the agreement, Digihost will provide hosting services in return for reimbursement of power consumption per the contractual terms.

 

On March 5, 2024, the Company announced that it signed a multi-year hosting agreement with one of the world’s leading manufacturers of digital currency mining servers. Under the agreement, Digihost received an upfront deposit along with 4,640 S19 XPs (21.5W/TH), which equates to approximately 14MW of hosting. The Company deployed these next generation, highly energy efficient and high-performance miners prior to the Bitcoin halving in April 2024. The deployment resulted in an expected hash rate increase of approximately 700 PH/s.

On July 11, 2024, the Corporation announced that it signed a profit-sharing agreement with a strategic partner. Under the executed agreement, the Corporation will integrate 11,000 state-of-the-art S21 miners (200/TH) into its facilities, translating to approximately 44 MW of hosting. This deal also includes a profit-sharing component, whereby the Corporation will receive 60% of the daily Bitcoin mining rewards earned from the S21 miners in exchange for providing the agreed upon capacity and electrical infrastructure support.

 

Green Initiative

 

Currently, 93% of the electricity consumed by Digihost’s grid-based power consumption across two sites in New York State is received from zero carbon generation. Further, more than 50% of the energy consumed is generated from renewable sources. As Digihost brings online its own Natural Gas fired power generation facility, the Company will focus on sourcing Renewable Natural Gas (“RNG”) for at least 50% of the Natural Gas consumed at this site. New York State has a growing RNG ecosystem which is typically produced from anaerobic digesters at local dairy farms or from landfills.

 

Current Carbon-Neutrality Efforts & Initiatives include:

 

100% Carbon Neutral: Digihost plans for 100% of its operations to achieve carbon neutrality with a net-zero footprint by the end of 2025, and 100% renewable by 2030.

 

Community Solar: Digihost is the anchor subscriber to a 5-megawatt community solar project located in Angola, NY. This site is situated 30 miles from Digihost’s East Delevan facility and will produce enough renewable electricity to power more than 2,500 homes annually. Our participation aids in the development of future renewable assets, adds clean energy onto our electricity grid, and lowers our cost of electricity.

 

Digigreen Initiative: A Digihost initiative focused on immediate steps to create sustainable, environmentally, and economically sound in-house practices, distinguishing the Company as an industry leader in lowering/eliminating its carbon footprint while maintaining profitability.

 

Crypto Climate Accord: Digihost has joined a private sector-led initiative for the entire crypto community focused on decarbonizing the cryptocurrency industry in record time.

 

Proof of Green: Digihost has begun initial research into developing proprietary standards for measuring the Company’s carbon impact. Using these standards as an environmental audit tool for the various operations, we anticipate being able to generate accountability reports and to advise Directors and Shareholders on efforts to minimize the Company’s carbon footprint.

 

At-the-Market Offering

 

On March 4, 2022, the Company entered into an offering agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC as agent (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the Company established an at-the-market equity program (the “ATM Program”). From the commencement of the ATM Program through December 31, 2023, the Company issued 559,054 subordinate voting shares in exchange for gross proceeds of $1,090,841, at an average share price of $1.79, and received net proceeds of $1,050,424 after paying commissions of $32,752 to the Agent and incurring $7,692 of other transaction fees.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company issued 3,600 subordinate voting shares in exchange for gross proceeds of $5,457, at an average share price of $1.52, and received net proceeds of $5,032 after paying commissions of $164 to the Agent and incurring $261 of other transaction fees.

 

The ATM Program ceased to be available to the Company in March 2024.

NCIB

 

During May 2022, Digihost announced that it had received approval to undertake, at the Company’s discretion, a normal course issuer bid program (“NCIB”) in Canada to purchase up to 1,219,762 of its subordinate voting shares for cancellation. The NCIB was commenced due to the fact that, from time to time, the Company may consider that the market price of its subordinate voting shares do not accurately reflect the underlying value of the Company’s business. The NCIB expired on May 25, 2023. Pursuant to the NCIB, the Company repurchased 165,200 subordinate voting shares for a total repurchase price of $255,525.

 

Custodial services for digital currencies

 

The Company has a digital custody account with Gemini Trust Company, LLC (Gemini). Gemini is a digital currency exchange and custodian that allows customers to buy, sell, and store its digital assets. Gemini holds 100% of the Company’s cryptocurrency assets in hot storage. Gemini is not a related party of the Company. The Company is not aware of anything with regards to Gemini’s operations that would adversely affect the Company’s ability to obtain an unqualified audit opinion on its audited financial statements.

 

The Company has chosen to hold its full inventory of Company’s cryptocurrency assets with Gemini due to its track record in the industry. Gemini is a New York trust company regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services and is the foreign equivalent of a Canadian financial institution (as that term is defined in National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemption). Gemini is a qualified custodian under New York Banking Law and is licensed by the State of New York to custody digital assets. Gemini has not appointed a sub-custodian to hold any of the Company’s cryptocurrencies. Gemini has US$100M split between US$25M of commercial crime insurance for digital assets held in online hot wallet and US$75M for offline, cold storage insurance coverage. Although the Company has historically utilized both cold and hot storage for its digital crypto assets with Gemini, the Company currently holds all its cryptocurrencies custodied with Gemini in hot storage.

 

The Company has conducted due diligence on Gemini and has not identified any material concerns. It routinely reviews and verifies its asset balances on public blockchain explorers. Management of the Company is not aware of any security breaches or other similar incidents involving Gemini that resulted in lost or stolen cryptocurrency assets. In the event of an insolvency or bankruptcy of Gemini, the Company would write off as losses any unrecoverable cryptocurrency assets.

 

In order to monitor Gemini, the Company relies on system and organization controls provided by a SOC 2 Type II report, which was undertaken by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent audit firm. A SOC 2 Type II certification and report are viewed as instrumental in providing verification to third parties that appropriate controls have been put in place to safeguard the Company’s cryptocurrency assets, specifically as it relates to having strict security and data protection processes and protocols.

 

In general, a SOC 2 Type II certification is issued by an outside auditor that evaluates the extent to which a vendor complies with five trust principles based on the systems and processes in place. These five principles include the following:

 

“Security”, which addresses the safeguarding of system resources and assets against unauthorized access;
   
“Availability”, which addresses the accessibility of the system as stipulated by the applicable service agreement between vendor and customer;
   
“Processing Integrity”, which addresses whether or not a system achieves its purpose;

DIGIHOST TECHNOLOGY INC.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024

 

“Confidentiality”, which addresses whether access and disclosure of data is restricted to a specified set of persons or organizations; and
   
“Privacy”, which addresses the system’s collection, use, retention, disclosure and disposal of personal information in conformity with an organization’s privacy notice.

 

The Company has elected to use Gemini as its sole custodian as Gemini compiles documented controls that can be provided to the Company, such as the SOC 2 Type II certification. The Company reviews the SOC 2 Type II report to ensure it maintains a secure technology infrastructure and the security systems designed to safeguard cryptocurrency assets are operating effectively. To date, the Company has not identified any material concerns based on its review of the SOC 2 Type II report.

 

Gemini maintains insurance coverage for the cryptocurrency held on behalf of the Company in its online hot wallet. The Company is in the process of looking to insure the remainder of its mined digital currency. Given the novelty of digital currency mining and associated businesses, insurance of this nature is generally not available, or is uneconomical for the Company to obtain, which leads to the risk of inadequate insurance cover.

 

On occasion, to mitigate third-party risk, the Company will hold a portion of its digital currencies in cold storage solutions that are not connected to the internet. The Company’s digital assets that are held in cold storage are stored in safety deposit boxes at a bank branch. The wallets in which the Company stores its cryptocurrency assets are not multi-signature wallets; however, the Company secures the 24-word seed phrase, which facilitates recovery of the wallets should the wallets become lost, stolen or damaged, by partitioning the seed phrase in multiple parts, and securing each part in a separate location. Each part of the seed phrase is stored in either a safe or safety deposit box, The Company replicates this security protocol by taking the same 24-word seed phrase, partitioning this into several parts and storing each part in a secure location in a separate safe or safety deposit box than was used for the first copy of the seed-phrase. This duplication ensures that the digital currencies held via cold storage solutions will be recoverable by the Company, should the Company’s cold-wallets become lost, stolen or damaged. During the quarter-ended June 30, 2024 and as of the date of this MD&A, all of the Company’s cryptocurrency assets are currently held in its Gemini wallets.

 

EBITDA – NON-GAAP MEASURE

 

“EBITDA” is a metric used by management which is income (loss) from operations, as reported, before interest, tax, and adjusted for removing other non-cash items, including, depreciation. Management believes “Adjusted EBITDA” is a useful financial metric to assess its operating performance on a cash basis before the impact of non-cash items and acquisition related activities.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024

 

Revenue

 

Revenue from Bitcoin mining was $2,968,605 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $5,356,235 for the period ended June 30, 2023.

 

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Company self-mined a total of approximately 45 Bitcoins at an average Bitcoin price of US$65,675 (from Gemini) compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, in which the Company mined approximately 191 Bitcoins at an average price of Bitcoin of US$28,021. The diversification of the Company’s revenue streams was the most significant factor in the decline of revenue from Bitcoin mining on a year over year basis, as the Company became less reliant on self-mining of Bitcoin.

 

During 2023, the Company began diversifying its revenue streams by entering into the Colocation and Sale of Electricity agreements mentioned above in this MD&A. By entering into these contracts, the Company was able to utilize its existing infrastructure and power supply in order to receive consistent payments for consumption.

 

From these agreements, the Company recognized revenue from colocation service agreements of $2,210,505 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 (2023: $nil) and $2,904,208 from the sale of electricity (2023: $nil). The three colocation service agreements have been in place from April 2023, September 2023, and March 2024, respectively, while the mining operations agreement was executed in February 2023.

 

The Company also recognized revenue from the sale of energy of $1,147,346 for the quarter, compared to $513,929 in 2023, as the Company acquired a 60MW power plant during Q1 2023. Revenue from this acquisition of a business is recognized each month through the operations of the plant through its available capacity that can be sold, and actual generation of power sold. In the prior year, the Company was just beginning to ramp up its plant operations.

 

Cost of Sales

 

The Company’s cost of sales was $12,127,965 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to $6,602,076 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $885,364 as the assets related to the Company’s acquisition of the power plant were put into use during the first half of 2023 (thereby impacting the full three-month period of 2024. The Company also placed into service additional infrastructure buildout and mining equipment during 2023 and purchased $3.2m worth of mining infrastructure equipment in Q2 2024, both of which impacted the current quarters expense when compared to Q2 2023.

 

Cost of revenue increased by $4,640,525 as compared to the prior year due primarily to the costs associated with the power plant of approximately $4.2m (2022: $1m) which included fuel and gas costs of $2.3m (2022: $0.5m), carbon emission costs of $1.0m (2022: $nil), and contract labor of $0.5m (2022: $0.3m).

 

General, Administrative & Other Expenses

 

The Company’s general and administrative expenses were $1,535,620 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to $3,149,402 in the same period of 2023.

 

The primary movements in the current period versus the quarter ended June 30, 2023, were due to:

 

Loss on sale of digital currencies in the current year of $127,554 (2023: loss of $58,707).
   
Professional fees of $690,066 in the current period driven by legal and accounting expenses (2023: $434,684).

FX gain of $584,972 in the current period versus a loss $1,275,019 in the prior period.

 

Other income/expense items of note in the current year include the revaluation of the warrant liabilities which resulted in a loss of $375,443 (2023: gain of $596,960).

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023:

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company’s net income was $78,701 compared to a net loss of $12,401,975 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Highlights of the period include:

 

Revenue

 

Revenue from Bitcoin mining was $9,778,994 for the period ended June 30, 2024, compared to $9,165,301 for the period ended June 30, 2023.

 

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Company self-mined a total of approximately 174 Bitcoins at an average Bitcoin price of US$59,531 (from Gemini) compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, in which the Company mined approximately 359 Bitcoins at an average price of Bitcoin of US$25,480. The diversification of the Company’s revenue streams was the most significant factor in the decline of Bitcoin mined on a year over year basis, as the Company became less reliant on self-mining of Bitcoin. However, the significant increase in the average price of Bitcoin in comparison to the prior year was the most significant factor in the slight increase in revenue from Bitcoin mining.

 

During 2023, the Company began diversifying its revenue streams by entering into the Colocation and Sale of Electricity agreements mentioned above in this MD&A. By entering into these contracts, the Company was able to utilize its existing infrastructure and power supply in order to receive consistent payments for consumption.

 

From these agreements, the Company recognized revenue from colocation service agreements of $3,637,436 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 (2023: $nil) and $6,283,028 from the sale of electricity (2023: $nil). The three colocation service agreements have been in place from April 2023, September 2023, and March 2024, respectively, while the mining operations agreement was executed in February 2023.

 

The Company also recognized revenue from the sale of energy of $2,489,525 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to $809,210 in 2023, as the Company acquired a 60MW power plant during Q1 2023. Revenue from this acquisition of a business is recognized each month through the operations of the plant through its available capacity that can be sold, and actual generation of power sold. In the prior year, the Company was just beginning to ramp up its plant operations.

 

Cost of Sales

 

The Company’s cost of sales was $25,079,098 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to $13,150,170 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $1,613,935 as the assets related to the Company’s acquisition of the power plant were put into use during the first half of 2023 (thereby impacting the full six-month period of 2024). The Company also placed into service additional infrastructure buildout and mining equipment during 2023 and purchased $3.2m worth of mining infrastructure equipment in Q2 2024, both of which impacted the six-month period expense when compared to the first six-months of 2023.

Cash used in investing activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, was $3,200,000 as compared to $6,941,103 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. In the current year, $3,200,000 was used for the purchase of mining infrastructure equipment. In the prior year, cash of $4,599,666 was used for the purchase of the power plant, $2,841,387 was used for the purchase of equipment, with $499,950 was received from the sale of equipment.

 

Financing Activities

 

Cash used by financing activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, was $746,413, as compared to cash provided of $471,194 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. The drivers of the balance in the current year were proceeds of shares issued for cash of $5,457, offset by repayment of loans of $676,968 and lease payments of $74,902. In the prior year, the Company received proceeds from a loan payable of $691,500 and proceeds of shares issued for cash of $445,944, partly offset by repayment of loans of $593,530 and lease payments of $72,720.

 

Liquidity and Financial Position

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficit balance of $1,812,860, including digital currencies of $2,602,081. The Company commenced earning revenue from digital currency mining in mid-February 2020; however, it has limited operating history, and there can be no assurance that the Company’s historical performance will be indicative of its future performance.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to efficiently mine and liquidate digital currencies, manage operational expenses, and raise additional funds through debt or equity financing.

Capital Resources

 

The Company’s capital management objective is to provide the financial resources that will enable Digihost to maximize the return to its shareholders while also enhancing its cost of capital. In order to achieve this goal, the Company monitors its capital structure and adjusts as required in response to an ever-changing economic environment and the various risks to which the Company is exposed. The Company’s approach for attaining this objective is to preserve a flexible capital structure that optimizes the cost of capital at a satisfactory level of risk, to maintain its ability to meet financial obligations as they come due, and to ensure the Company has appropriate financial resources to fund its organic and acquisitive growth.

 

The Company anticipates that its existing financial resources will be sufficient to put into operation all previously announced acquisitions of mining hardware along with the infrastructure needed to support the power plant acquisition. In order to achieve its future business objectives, the Company may need to liquidate or borrow against the Bitcoin that have been accumulated as of the date hereof as well as Bitcoin generated from ongoing operations, which may or may not be possible on commercially attractive terms or at all.

 

The Company presently anticipates that additional financing may be required to acquire additional power generation facilities in the future in order to meet the Company’s objective of hashing at total of 6 EH/s of power by the end of 2024. The Company also anticipates that additional financing could be required to purchase the next generation miners required to utilize its maximum capacity and is looking for attractive Joint Venture and Hosting Colocation deals in order to help expand its capital position.

 

Digihost may manage its capital structure by issuing equity, seeking financing through loan products, adjusting capital spending, entering into beneficial hosting or colocation agreements, or disposing of assets.

 

Notes Receivable and Related Party Transactions

 

Promissory Notes Receivable

 

In December 2021, the Company entered into an agreement for a Secured Convertible Promissory Note (“Note”) with principal of $800,000. The Note accrues interest at a rate of 6% per annum, with 3% payable in cash every calendar quarter and 3% payable in notes. The Note is convertible at the Company’s option into Series C Preferred Stock of the issuer. If the Note is not converted into shares by the Company, all unpaid and accrued interest are due on Maturity Date of December 21, 2026. The Notes are secured by the assets of the issuer. As at June 30, 2024, the fair value of the Note was estimated to be $850,685.

 

Loan Payable

 

The Company entered into a loan agreement with Doge Capital LLC (“Doge”), a company controlled by the chief executive officer, dated February 6, 2023, whereby Doge lent the Company the equivalent value of 30 Bitcoins, being $691,500 and the Company agreed to repay Doge 36 Bitcoins as full repayment of the loan. The Company shall repay Doge 3 Bitcoins per month for 12 consecutive months with the first payment due on March 1, 2023 and the remaining 11 payments due on the first day of each successive month. As at March 31, 2024, this loan was fully repaid.

Adoption of new accounting policies

 

(a) Basis of consolidation

 

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Digihost and its wholly owned subsidiary: Digihost International, Inc. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continues to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. Control is achieved when an investor has power over an investee to direct its activities, exposure to variable returns from an investee, and the ability to use the power to affect the investor’s returns. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

(b) Functional and presentation currency

 

These financial statements are presented in United States Dollars. The functional currency of Digihost is the Canadian dollar and the functional currency of Digihost International, Inc. is the United States Dollars. All financial information is expressed in United States Dollars, unless otherwise stated.

(c) Foreign currency translation

 

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to United States dollars at exchange rates in effect at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates at the respective transaction dates. Revenue and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange at each transaction date. Gains or losses on translation are included in foreign exchange expense.

 

The results and financial position of an entity whose functional currency are translated into a different presentation currency are treated as follows:

 

assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the reporting date;
   
income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates at the dates of the period; and
   
all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income as cumulative translation adjustments.

 

(d) Revenue recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue under IFRS 15, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“IFRS 15”).

 

To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation.

 

The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers its goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange.

 

In order to identify the performance obligations in a contract with a customer, a company must assess the promised goods or services in the contract and identify each promised good or service that is distinct. A performance obligation meets IFRS 15’s definition of a “distinct” good or service (or bundle of goods or services) if both of the following criteria are met: The customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer (i.e., the good or service is capable of being distinct), and the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract (i.e., the promise to transfer the good or service is distinct within the context of the contract).

 

If a good or service is not distinct, the good or service is combined with other promised goods or services until a bundle of goods or services is identified that is distinct.

 

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. When determining the transaction price, an entity must consider the effects of all of the following:

 

Variable consideration
   
Constraining estimates of variable consideration
   
The existence of a significant financing component in the contract
   
Non-cash consideration
   
Consideration payable to a customer

DIGIHOST TECHNOLOGY INC.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024

 

Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. The transaction price allocated to each performance obligation is recognized when that performance obligation is satisfied, at a point in time or over time as appropriate.

 

Digital currency mining: The Company’s revenue is derived from providing computing power (hashrate) to mining pools. The Company has entered into arrangements, as amended from time to time, with mining pool operators to provide computing power to the mining pools. The provision of computing power to mining pools is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The Company has the right to decide the point in time and duration for which it will provide computing power. As a result, the Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when, and continues as long as, the Company provides computing power to the mining pool. The contracts can be terminated at any time by either party without substantive compensation to the other party for such termination. Upon termination, the mining pool operator (i.e., the customer) is required to pay the Company any amount due related to previously satisfied performance obligations. Therefore, the Company has determined that the duration of the contract is less than 24 hours and that the contract continuously renews throughout the day. The Company has determined that this renewal right is not a material right as the terms, conditions, and compensation amounts are at then market rates. There is no significant financing component in these transactions.

 

In exchange for providing computing power, which represents the Company’s only performance obligation, the Company is entitled to non-cash consideration in the form of cryptocurrency, calculated under one of two payout methods, depending on the mining pool. The payout method used by the mining pool in which the Company participated is the Full Pay Per Share (“FPPS”) . This payout method contains three components, (i) a fractional share of the fixed cryptocurrency award from the mining pool operator (referred to as a “block reward”), (ii) transaction fees generated from (paid by) blockchain users to execute transactions and distributed (paid out) to individual miners by the mining pool operator, and (iii) mining pool operating fees retained by the mining pool operator for operating the mining pool. The Company’s total compensation is the sum of the Company’s share of (a) block rewards and (b) transaction fees, less (c) mining pool operating fees.

 

Block rewards are calculated as follows under the FPPS method. The block reward earned by the Company is calculated by the mining pool operator based on the proportion of hashrate the Company contributed to the mining pool to the total network hashrate used in solving the current algorithm. The Company is entitled to its relative share of consideration even if a block is not successfully added to the blockchain by the mining pool.

 

Transaction fees refer to the total fees paid by users of the network to execute transactions. Under FPPS, the Company is entitled to a pro-rata share of the total network transaction fees. The transaction fees paid out by the mining pool operator to the Company is based on the proportion of hashrate the Company contributed to the mining pool to the total network hashrate. The Company is entitled to its relative share of consideration even if a block is not successfully added to the blockchain by the mining pool.

 

Mining pool operating fees are charged by the mining pool operator for operating the mining pool as set forth in a rate schedule to the mining pool contract. The mining pool operating fees reduce the total amount of compensation the Company receives and are only incurred to the extent that the Company has generated mining revenue pursuant to the mining pool operators’ payout calculation.

DIGIHOST TECHNOLOGY INC.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024

 

Because the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled for providing computing power is entirely variable (block rewards, transaction fees and pool operating fees), as well as being non-cash consideration, the Company assesses the estimated amount of the variable non-cash consideration to which it expects to be entitled for providing computing power at contract inception and subsequently, to determine when and to what extent it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur once the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. For each contract under the FPPS payout method, the Company recognizes the non-cash consideration on the same day that control of the contracted service transfers to the mining pool operator, which is the same day as the contract inception. For the contract under both the FPPS payout method, the Company measures non-cash consideration at the cryptocurrency spot price at the beginning of the day on the date of contract inception, as determined by the Company’s principal market, which is Gemini.

 

Colocation services: The Company recognizes revenue from its colocation services when it satisfies performance obligations by transferring the control of services, which include power provision and space rental, to customers. Revenue is recognized monthly in an amount that reflects actual power consumption, as per contractual terms, and any fixed maintenance fees are recognized over time as services are rendered to customers, aligning the recognition of revenue with the delivery of services.

 

Sale of electricity: The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of energy when it has satisfied its performance obligation, which occurs as the energy is provided to the customer. The Company supplies the requisite power and ancillary operational functions in order for the digital currency mining equipment on its property to run efficiently outside of its facilities. Revenue is recorded monthly based on the actual consumption of energy by the customer, at the price determined by the contract. This reflects the Company’s performance and the customer’s consumption benefits, with variable consideration being recognized in the period it is due.

 

Sale of energy: The Company, in its capacity as an agent, recognizes revenue from the sale of energy on a net basis in accordance with IFRS 15. Revenue is recorded upon the satisfaction of the performance obligation, specifically at the point when control of the energy is transferred to the end customer. This key moment reflects the Company’s fulfillment of its contractual duties. The revenue recognized is determined by subtracting the profit share remitted to the principal from the gross energy sales.

 

(e) Digital currencies

 

Digital currencies consist of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Digital currencies meet the definition of intangible assets in IAS 38 Intangible Assets as they are identifiable non-monetary assets without physical substance. They are initially recorded at cost and the revaluation method is used to measure the digital currencies subsequently. Where digital assets are recognized as revenue, the fair value of the Bitcoin received is considered to be the cost of the digital assets. Under the revaluation method, increases in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income, while decreases are recorded in profit or loss. The Company revalues its digital currencies at the end of each quarter. There is no recycling of gains from other comprehensive income to profit or loss. However, to the extent that an increase in fair value reverses a previous decrease in fair value that has been recorded in profit or loss, that increase is recorded in profit or loss. Decreases in fair value that reverse gains previously recorded in other comprehensive income are recorded in other comprehensive income. Gains and losses on digital currencies sold between revaluation dates are included in profit or loss.

 

Digital currencies are measured at fair value using the quoted price on the Gemini Exchange. Gemini serves as the principal market. The Company believes any price difference amongst the principal market and an aggregated price to be immaterial. Management considers this fair value to be a Level 2 input under IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement fair value hierarchy as the price on this source represents a quote of the currency on an active market.

 

(f) Property, plant, and equipment

 

Page | 16

 

DIGIHOST TECHNOLOGY INC.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024

 

Details as to the Company’s policies for property, plant and equipment are as follows:

 

Asset

 

Measurement Basis

 

Amortization Method

 

Amortization Rate

Data miners  Cost  Straight-line  12 - 36 months
Equipment  Cost  Straight-line  36 - 120 months
Leasehold Improvement  Cost  Straight-line  120 months
Powerplant in use  Cost  Straight-line  480 months

 

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes all expenditures incurred to bring assets to the location and condition necessary for them to be operated in the manner intended by management.

 

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any replaced parts is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the fiscal period in which they are incurred.

 

Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized in profit or loss.

 

(g) Intangible assets

 

intangible assets that qualify for separate recognition are recognized as intangible assets at their fair values. Right of use of an electric power facility is depreciated over 13 years.

 

(h) Impairment of non-financial assets

 

The Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets, including property, plant, and equipment, when events or changes in circumstances indicate the assets may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets carried at fair value, such as digital currencies, are excluded from impairment analysis.

 

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows to be derived from continuing use of the asset or cash generating unit are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Fair value less costs of disposal is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset or cash generating unit in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the cost of disposal. When a binding sale agreement is not available, fair value less costs of disposal is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach with inputs and assumptions consistent with those of a market participant. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in net income. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or cash generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, such that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized.

 

(i) Leases and right-of-use assets

 

All leases are accounted for by recognizing a right-of-use asset and a lease liability except for:

 

Leases of low value assets; and
   
Leases with a duration of twelve months or less.

 

Page | 17

 

DIGIHOST TECHNOLOGY INC.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024

 

Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the contractual payments due to the lessor over the lease term, with the discount rate determined by the incremental borrowing rate on commencement of the lease is used. Variable lease payments are only included in the measurement of the lease liability if they depend on an index or rate. In such cases, the initial measurement of the lease liability assumes the variable element will remain unchanged throughout the lease term. Other variable lease payments are expensed in the period to which they relate.

 

On initial recognition, the carrying value of the lease liability also includes:

 

Amounts expected to be payable under any residual value guarantee;
   
The exercise price of any purchase option granted if it is reasonably certain to assess that option; and
   
Any penalties payable for terminating the lease, if the term of the lease has been estimated on the basis of termination option being exercised.

 

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which includes the initial amount of the lease liability, reduced for any lease incentives received, and increased for:

 

Lease payments made at or before commencement of the lease;
   
Initial direct costs incurred; and
   
The amount of any provision recognised where the Company is contractually required to dismantle, remove, or restore the leased asset.

 

Lease liabilities, on initial measurement, increase as a result of interest charged at a constant rate on the balance outstanding and are reduced for lease payments made.

 

Right-of-use assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease or over the remaining economic life of the asset if this is judged to be shorter than the lease term.

 

When the Company revises its estimate of the term of any lease, it adjusts the carrying amount of the lease liability to reflect the payments to make over the revised term, which are discounted at the same discount rate that applied on lease commencement. The carrying value of lease liabilities is similarly revised when the variable element of future lease payments dependent on a rate or index is revised. In both cases an equivalent adjustment is made to the carrying value of the right-of-use asset, with the revised carrying amount being amortised over the remaining (revised) lease term or recorded in profit or loss if the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero.

 

(j) Goodwill

 

The Company measures goodwill as the fair value of the cost of the acquisition less the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, all measured as of the acquisition date. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

 

(k) Share capital and equity

 

Share capital represents the amount received on the issue of shares, less issuance costs, net of any underlying income tax benefit from these issuance costs. When warrants are issued in connection with shares, the Company uses the residual method for allocating fair value to the shares and then to warrants.

 

Contributed surplus include the value of outstanding warrants and stock options. When warrants and stock options are exercised, the related compensation cost and value are transferred to share capital.

DIGIHOST TECHNOLOGY INC.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024

 

Deficits include all current and prior year losses.

 

Digital currency revaluation reserve includes gains and losses from the revaluation of digital currencies, net of tax.

 

Cumulative translation reserve includes foreign currency translation differences arising from the translation of financial statements of foreign entities into United States dollars.

 

(l) Share-based compensation

 

The granting of stock options to employees, officers, directors, or consultants of the Company requires the recognition of share-based compensation expense with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus in shareholders’ equity. The fair value of stock options that vest immediately are recorded as share-based compensation expense at the date of the grant. The expense for stock options that vest over time is recorded over the vesting period using the graded method, which incorporates management’s estimate of the stock options that are not expected to vest. For stock options where vesting is subject to the completion of performance milestones, the estimate for completion of the milestone is reviewed at each reporting date for any change in the estimated vesting date, and to the extent there is a material change in the vesting date estimate, the amortization to be recognized is recalculated for the new timeline estimate and adjusted on a prospective basis in the current period. The effect of a change in the number of stock options expected to vest is a change in an estimate and the cumulative effect of the change is recognized in the period when the change occurs. On exercise of a stock option, the consideration received, and the estimated fair value previously recorded in contributed surplus is recorded as an increase in share capital.

 

Stock options awarded to consultants are measured based on the fair value of the goods and services received unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably. If the fair value of the goods and services cannot be reliably measured, then the fair value of the equity instruments granted is used to recognize the expense.

 

Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumption.

 

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These financial statements include estimates that, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions, and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

 

Significant assumptions about the future that management has made that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

 

Significant judgements

 

(i) Income from digital currency mining

 

The Company recognizes income from digital currency mining from the provision of transaction verification services within digital currency networks, commonly termed “cryptocurrency mining”. As consideration for these services, the Company receives digital currency from each specific network in which it participates (“coins”). Income from digital currency mining is measured based on the fair value of the coins received. The fair value is determined using the spot price of the coin on the date of receipt. The coins are recorded on the statement of financial position, as digital currencies, at their fair value less costs to sell and re- measured at each reporting date. Revaluation gains or losses, as well as gains or losses on the sale of coins for traditional (fiat) currencies are included in profit or loss in accordance with the Company’s treatment of its digital currencies as a traded commodity.

 

Page | 19

 

DIGIHOST TECHNOLOGY INC.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024

 

There is currently no specific definitive guidance in IFRS or alternative accounting frameworks for the accounting for the mining and strategic selling of digital currencies and management has exercised significant judgement in determining appropriate accounting treatment for the recognition of income from digital currency mining for mining of digital currencies. Management has examined various factors surrounding the substance of the Company’s operations, including the stage of completion being the completion and addition of a block to a blockchain and the reliability of the measurement of the digital currency received.

 

(ii) Going concern

 

The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern involves judgment regarding future funding available for its operations and working capital requirements as discussed in note 1.

 

(iii) Leases – incremental borrowing rate

 

Judgment is applied when determining the incremental borrowing rate used to measure the lease liability of each lease contract, including an estimate of the asset-specific security impact. The incremental borrowing rate should reflect the interest rate the Company would pay to borrow at a similar term and with similar security.

 

(iv) Income, value added, withholding and other taxes

 

The Company is subject to income, value added, withholding and other taxes. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provisions for taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. The determination of the Company’s income, value added, withholding and other tax liabilities requires interpretation of complex laws and regulations. The Company’s interpretation of taxation law as applied to transactions and activities may not coincide with the interpretation of the tax authorities. All tax related filings are subject to government audit and potential reassessment subsequent to the financial statement reporting period. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the tax related accruals and deferred income tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

 

Significant estimates

 

(i) Determination of asset and liability fair values and allocation of purchase consideration

 

Significant business combinations require judgements and estimates to be made at the date of acquisition in relation to determining the relative fair value of the allocation of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the assets. The information necessary to measure the fair values as at the acquisition date of assets acquired requires management to make certain judgements and estimates about future events, including but not limited to availability of hardware and expertise, future production opportunities, future digital currency prices and future operating costs.

 

(ii) Useful lives of property, plant, and equipment

 

Depreciation of data miners and equipment are an estimate of its expected life. In order to determine the useful life of computing equipment, assumptions are required about a range of computing industry market and economic factors, including required hashrates, technological changes, availability of hardware and other inputs, and production costs.

(iii) Digital currency valuation

 

Digital currencies consist of cryptocurrency denominated assets (note 4) and are included in current assets. Digital currencies are carried at their fair value determined by the spot rate less costs to sell. The digital currency market is still a new market and is highly volatile; historical prices are not necessarily indicative of future value; a significant change in the market prices for digital currencies would have a significant impact on the Company’s earnings and financial position.

 

(iv) Impairment of goodwill

 

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the CGU. Such recoverable amount corresponds, for the purpose of impairment assessment, to the higher of the value in use or the fair value less costs of disposal of the CGU to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires management to estimate future cash flows expected to arise from the CGU and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value. The key assumptions required for the value in use estimation are described in note 8 of the year-end financial statements.

 

For the value in use approach, the values assigned to key assumptions reflect past experience and external sources of information that are deemed accurate and reliable. The value in use is categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy described under IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement, as one or more key assumption used is based on unobservable data requiring the use of judgement.

Management has established processes to provide it with sufficient knowledge to support representations that it has exercised reasonable diligence to ensure that (i) the consolidated financial statements do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it is made, as of the date of and for the periods presented by the financial statements, and (ii) the consolidated financial statements fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flow of the Company, as of the date of and for the periods presented.

 

In contrast to the certificate required for non-venture issuers under National Instrument 52-109 - Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings (“NI 52-109”), the Venture Issuer Basic Certificate does not include representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of disclosure controls and procedures (“DC&P”) and internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), as defined in NI 52-109. In particular, the certifying officers filing such certificate are not making any representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of:

 

(i)controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation; and

 

(ii)a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the issuer’s GAAP (IFRS).

 

The Company’s certifying officers are responsible for ensuring that processes are in place to provide them with sufficient knowledge to support the representations they are making in the certificate. Investors should be aware that inherent limitations on the ability of certifying officers of a venture issuer to design and implement on a cost-effective basis DC&P and ICFR as defined in NI 52-109 may result in additional risks to the quality, reliability, transparency and timeliness of interim and annual filings and other reports provided under securities legislation.

Factors Impacting Profitability

 

Market Price of Bitcoin: The Company’s business is heavily dependent on the spot price of Bitcoin. The prices of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, have experienced substantial volatility, meaning that high or low prices may be based on speculation and incomplete information, subject to rapidly changing investor sentiment, and influenced by factors such as technology, regulatory void or changes, fraudulent actors, manipulation, and media reporting. Bitcoin (as well as other cryptocurrencies) may have value based on various factors, including, but not limited to, their acceptance as a means of exchange by consumers and producers, scarcity, and market demand, all of which are beyond the Company’s control.

 

Halving: Further affecting the industry, particularly for the Bitcoin blockchain, the Bitcoin reward for solving a block is subject to periodic incremental halving. Halving is a process designed to control the overall supply and reduce the risk of inflation in Bitcoin, which uses a proof-of-work consensus algorithm. At a predetermined block, the mining reward is cut in half, hence the term “halving.” For Bitcoin the reward was initially set at 50 Bitcoin currency rewards per block. The Bitcoin blockchain has undergone halvings three times since its inception as follows: (1) on November 28, 2012, at block height 210,000; (2) on July 9, 2016,at block height 420,000; and (3) on May 11, 2020,at block height 630,000, when the reward was reduced to its current level of 6.25 Bitcoin per block. The most recent halving for the Bitcoin blockchain occurred in April 2024 at block height 840,000. Halvings will continue to occur until the total amount of Bitcoin currency rewards issued reaches approximately 21million and the theoretical supply of new Bitcoin is exhausted, which is expected to occur around the year 2140. Many factors influence the price of Bitcoin, and potential increases or decreases in prices in advance of or following a future halving is unknown.

 

Network Hash Rate and Difficulty: Generally, a Bitcoin miner’s chance of solving a block on the Bitcoin blockchain and earning a Bitcoin reward is a function of the miner’s hash rate, relative to the global network hash rate (i.e., the aggregate amount of computing power devoted to supporting the Bitcoin blockchain at a given time).As demand for Bitcoin has increased, the global network hash rate has increased rapidly, and as greater adoption of Bitcoin occurs, we expect the demand for new Bitcoin will likewise increase as more mining companies are drawn into the industry by this increased demand. Further, as a greater number of increasingly powerful miners have been deployed, the network difficulty for Bitcoin has consequently also increased. Network difficulty is a measure of how difficult it is to solve a block on the Bitcoin blockchain, which is adjusted every 2,016 blocks (approximately every 2 weeks) so that the average time between each block validation remains approximately ten minutes. A high difficulty means that more computing power will be required in order to solve a block and earn a new Bitcoin reward, which, in turn, makes the Bitcoin network more secure by limiting the possibility of one miner or mining pool gaining control of the network. Therefore, as new and existing miners deploy additional hash rate, the global network hash rate will continue to increase, meaning a miner’s share of the global network hash rate (and therefore its chance of earning Bitcoin rewards) will decline if it fails to deploy additional hash rate at pace with the industry.

 

Risk Factors

 

An investment in the securities of the Company is highly speculative and involves numerous and significant risks. Such investment should be undertaken only by investors whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume these risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risk factors that have affected, and which in the future are reasonably expected to affect, the Company and its financial position. Please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Information Form for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, dated April 2, 2024 available on SEDAR + at www.sedarplus.ca and the Risk Factors contained the Company’s various filings on SEDAR + and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.
