1.   ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Description History and Organization of Business

Cleanspark, LLC ("Cleanspark") was incorporated in November 2013 as an California limited liability company.  The Company is a clean technology company which provides advanced energy system optimization and engineering services, and distributed energy resource integration. In addition, CleanSpark developed a microgrid energy enterprise platform, the flex Power System, which is capable of managing complex renewable and legacy based power systems.

The flex Power System (“fPS”) is an integrated microgrid software and control platform that integrates all forms of energy generation with energy storage devices and controls facility loads to provide optimized energy usage and security. The fPS software uses real-time generation, consumption, and grid data to decide whether to use or store energy based on prioritized end-user benefits such as enhancing cost savings or preserving critical loads.

 

CleanSpark’s services allow for a cost effective renewable based power systems that promote renewables integration, lower energy consumption, and provide energy surety.

 

Shortly after forming the Company in 2013, CleanSpark and the Marines were awarded a grant by the California Energy Commission (“CEC”) to demonstrate these innovative approaches to community scale renewable energy integration and microgrids based on the Company’s FractalGrid architecture.

 

CleanSpark validated its technology platforms through its pilot microgrid installations. CleanSpark successfully installed its first microgrid at its office in Poway, CA in 2014. This pilot project, named DaVinci, incorporated solar photovoltaic, wind, diesel generation, advanced kinetic energy storage, electrical vehicles and granular building automation. As a follow on, CleanSpark partnered with the United States Marine Corps, Navy and California Energy Commission to demonstrate a unique 1.1MW microgrid called a FractalGrid. This installation includes concentrating photovoltaics, high efficiency solar photovoltaic, diesel generation, geothermal heat pumps, electric vehicles, all forms of advanced energy storage and highly automated intelligent building systems and controls across four separate facilities all working together in a ‘microgrid of microgrids’ configuration.

 

CleanSpark is between the validation, scaling and development phases of its business life-cycle and is working to achieve profitability, rapid market penetration and scalability. CleanSpark continues building strategic industry, business development and financial partnerships to continue development and deployment of its distributed energy resource and power management services.

 

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN

The accompanying audited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the period presented have been reflected herein.

 

Going concern – The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred cumulative net losses of $(4,765,852) since its inception and requires capital for its contemplated operational and marketing activities to take place. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of Cleanspark, LLC is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Use of estimates – The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.

 

Cash and cash equivalents – For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments and short-term debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There was $365,303 and $950,922 in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2015, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheets for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the respective fair values due to the short maturities of these items. The Company does not hold any investments that are available-for-sale.

 

As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;

 

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

 

Revenue recognition – The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” and No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Revenues from fixed price construction contracts are recognized on the percentage of completion method, measured on the basis of incurred costs to estimated total costs for each contract. This cost to cost method is used because management considers it to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. Revenues from cost-plus fee contracts are recognized on the basis of costs incurred during the period plus the fee earned, measured by the cost to cost method.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(AUDITED)

 

The financial statements include some amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. The most significant estimates relate to costs to complete long-term contracts. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment could be significant. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs, and depreciation costs. Selling, general, and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Profit incentives are included in revenues when their realization is reasonably assured. An amount equal to contract costs attributable to claims is included in revenues when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated.

 

The asset, "costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts," represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, "billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts," represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.

 

For the periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 the Company reported revenues of $547,211 and $nil, respectively.

 

Long-lived Assets – In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounts Standard Codification (ASC) ASC 360-10, "Property, Plant and Equipment," the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk – Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash (the amounts of which may, at times, exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits on insurable amounts) and trade accounts receivable.  Cash is managed within established guidelines, and the Company mitigates its risk by investing through major financial institutions.

 

Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is limited by performing on-going credit evaluations of the Company's customers and adjusting credit limits based upon payment history and the customer's current credit worthiness. Collections and payments from customers are continuously monitored. 

 

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts which is based upon historical experience and specific customer collection issues that have been identified. While bad debt expenses have historically been within expectations and allowances established, the Company cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that it has in the past.

 

Income Taxes – The Company is a limited liability company and treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes with all income tax liabilities and/or benefits of the Company being passed through to the members. As such, no recognition of federal or state income taxes for the Company as limited liability companies have been provided for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Any uncertain tax position taken by the member is not an uncertain position of the Company.

3. PREPAID EXPENSES AND DEPOSITS

 

The Company prepaid certain vendor expenses totaling of $38,698 for services. The prepayments were expensed upon completion of the services subsequent to the period ending September 30, 2015.

 

The Company paid certain vendors a total of $82,742 for materials and supplies related to the Ram’s Hill commercial micro grid construction project. The deposit was expensed upon delivery of the materials subsequent to the period ending September 30, 2015.

 

4. COMMERCIAL MICROGRID

 

The California Energy Commission awarded a grant of $1.7 million to Harper Construction Company, Inc. in July 2013 to support a microgrid technology demonstration project. CleanSpark was subcontracted to provided design, development, integration, and installation services for the FractalGrid at the School of Infantry in the 52 Area of Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton.  The project included integration of CleanSpark’s proprietary software and controls platform with a variety of energy storage technologies to include two low speed flywheels. Together, the advanced storage devices stock 300kWh of solar energy generated by existing fixed-tilt solar photovoltaic panels and fifteen dual axis tracking concentrated photovoltaic units. CleanSpark’s distributed controls combine the generation and storage technologies to create four separate microgrids that self align together to create a larger microgrid that ties directly into the larger utility grid at the 12kV level, allowing the base to consume energy from the most reliable, affordable source at any given time. The system provides a 100% renewable and sustainable solution to energy security.

 

Clean Spark purchased the microgrid from Harper Construction for one dollar and an agreement to indemnify Harper from any claims related to the operation of the Microgrid and assumption of the agreement to operate and maintain at the associated assets of the Camp Pendleton FractiaGrid for a period of 10 years. This includes maintaining the equipment in working condition and providing system upkeep on a monthly, quarterly and yearly basis an/or as needs arise. In the case of equipment failure CleanSpark has agreed to remove faulty equipment and/or abandon and leave in place. CleanSpark is required to carry appropriate liability insurances to cover damages attributed to ‘catastrophic’ failure of it’s owned and operated equipment.  CleanSpark continues to work with WACO and the Department of Defense to define additional rights and responsibilities and to expand the assets at the FractalGrid and future military microgrids within Camp Pendlton and other military installations.

12.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On April 15, 2016 the Company recorded an impairment on its tenant improvements associated with the office and microgrid improvements located at 13000 Gregg Strett, Poway Califonia 92064. The company had been subleasing on informal terms with the master lessor. The maser lessor defaulted on the terms of their lease which led to the eviction of Cleanspark from the premises. The Comapny is attempting to obtain rights to the property and that was installed onsite which includes components of the Davinci office micro grid. Due to the uncertainty of realizing future value from these assets the Company has written these assets off and as a result an impairment expense of $274,293 was recorded.

 

On July 1, 2016, Stratean, Inc. and Cleanspark II, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stratean, Inc. (together, the “Buyer”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended (the “Purchase Agreement”) with CleanSpark LLC, (the “Seller”). The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, as amended occurred on July 1, 2016 (the “Closing Date”).

 

On the Closing Date, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired all the assets (the “Assets”) and assume certain liabilities (the “Assumed Liabilities”) related to Seller and its line of business. The Assets the Buyer purchased from Seller include:
