1. ORGANIZATION AND LINE OF BUSINESS

 

Organization & History

CleanSpark, Inc. (“CleanSpark”, “we”, “our”, the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 15, 1987 as SmartData Corporation (“SmartData”). SmartData conducted a 504-public offering in the State of Nevada in December 1987 and began trading publicly in January 1988. Due to a series of unfortunate events, including the untimely death of the founding CEO, SmartData discontinued active business operations in 1992.

 

On March 25, 2014, we began operations in the alternative energy sector.

 

In December 2014, the Company changed its name to Stratean Inc. through a short-form merger in order to better reflect its new business plan.

 

On July 1, 2016, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended (the “Purchase Agreement”), with CleanSpark Holdings LLC, CleanSpark LLC, CleanSpark Technologies LLC, and Specialized Energy Solutions, Inc. (together, the “Seller”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired CleanSpark, LLC and all the assets related to the Seller and its line of business and assumed $200,000 in liabilities.

 

In October 2016, the Company changed its name to CleanSpark, Inc. through a short-form merger in order to better reflect the brand identity.

 

On January 22, 2019, CleanSpark entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Pioneer Critical Power, Inc. (“Pioneer”), whereby the Company acquired certain intellectual property assets and a customer list. As consideration, the Company issued to Pioneer’s sole shareholder (i) 175,000 shares of common stock of CleanSpark, (ii) a five-year warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock of CleanSpark at an exercise price of $16.00 per share, and (iii) a five-year warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock of CleanSpark at an exercise price of $20.00 per share. As a result of the transaction, Pioneer became a wholly owned subsidiary of CleanSpark. On February 1, 2019, Pioneer was renamed to CleanSpark Critical Power Systems, Inc.

 

On December 10, 2019, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) approved a 1:10 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. The reverse stock split took effect on December 11, 2019. Unless otherwise noted, impacted amounts and share information in this report and included in the financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the period ended June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, have been adjusted for the stock split as if such stock split occurred on the first day of the first period presented.

 

On January 31, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with p2klabs, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“p2k”), and its sole stockholder, Amer Tadayon (“Seller”), whereby the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of p2k from the Seller (the “Transaction”) in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of cash and equity of $1,688,935.
