NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
Our policy is to prepare our financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

INVESTVIEW, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JUNE 30, 2024
(Unaudited)
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations (Regulation S-X) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for our year ending December 31, 2024, as will be included in the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2023 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Investview, Inc., and our wholly owned subsidiaries: iGenius, LLC, SAFETek, LLC, Investview Financial Group Holdings, LLC, Opencash Finance, Inc., Opencash Securities, LLC, Investview MTS, LLC, and MyLife Wellness Company. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Financial Statement Reclassification
Certain account balances from prior periods have been reclassified in these consolidated financial statements to conform to current period classifications.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially expose us to concentration of credit risk include cash, accounts receivable, and advances. We place our
cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance
limit of $
Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
For purposes of reporting cash flows, we consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no highly liquid debt instruments.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the balance sheet that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the statement of cash flows.

Receivables
Receivables
are carried at net realizable value, representing the outstanding balance less an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a review
of all outstanding amounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual receivables
and receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when
received. We had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $
Deposits
We contract with service providers
for hosting of our data processing equipment and operational support in data centers where the Company’s data processing
equipment is deployed. These arrangements typically require advance payments to vendors pursuant to the contractual obligations
associated with these services. Additionally, from time to time, our vendors require deposits be paid by us and held by them in the
normal course of business. The Company classifies these payments as “Deposits, current” or “Deposits” in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31,2023, such deposits totaled $
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. When retired or otherwise disposed, the carrying value and accumulated depreciation of the fixed asset is removed from its respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition is reflected in earnings. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs which do not extend the useful lives of the related assets are expensed as incurred.
Fixed assets were made up of the following at each balance sheet date:
| Estimated Useful Life (years) | June 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | ||||||||
| Furniture, fixtures, and equipment | $ | $ | ||||||||

Total
depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, was $
Long-Lived Assets – Cryptocurrencies
We account for our cryptocurrencies and intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 350-30, General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill, and ASC Subtopic 360-10-05, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. ASC Subtopic 350-30 requires assets to be measured based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more reliably measurable. Our cryptocurrencies are deemed to have an indefinite useful life; therefore, amounts are not amortized, but rather are assessed for impairment as further discussed in our impairment policy. Under ASC Subtopic 350-30 any intangible asset with a useful life is required to be amortized over that life and the useful life is to be evaluated every reporting period to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of useful life is changed the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over the revised remaining useful life. Costs of internally developing, maintaining, or restoring intangible assets are recognized as an expense when incurred.

We
hold cryptocurrency-denominated assets and include them in our consolidated balance sheet as Other current assets. The value of our cryptocurrencies
as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, were $
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We have adopted ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment. ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by us be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or when the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period.
We
evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual
disposition. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted and an impairment loss
is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value. During the six months
ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023,
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, based on our principal or, in the absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles provide for a three-level hierarchy of inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, defined as follows:
| Level 1: | Inputs that are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity can access. |
| Level 2: | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, including: |
| - | quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; | |
| - | quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; | |
| - | inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and | |
| - | inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
| Level 3: | Inputs that are unobservable and reflect management’s own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances (e.g., internally derived assumptions surrounding the timing and amount of expected cash flows). |
Our financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable, and debt. We have determined that the book value of our outstanding financial instruments as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, approximates the fair value due to their short-term nature or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates.

Revenue Recognition
Subscription Revenue
Most
of our revenue is generated by membership and subscription sales and payment is received at the time of purchase. We recognize subscription
revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and
recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to provide services over
a fixed subscription period; therefore, we recognize revenue ratably over the subscription period and deferred revenue is recorded for
the portion of the subscription period subsequent to each reporting date. Additionally, we offer a designated trial period to first-time
subscription customers, during which a full refund can be requested if a customer does not wish to continue with the subscription. Revenues
are deferred during the trial period as collection is not probable until that time has passed. Revenues are presented net of refunds,
sales incentives, credits, and known and estimated credit card chargebacks. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our deferred revenues
were $
Mining Revenue
We generate revenue from mining bitcoin. The Company has entered into a digital asset mining pool by executing a contract, as amended from time to time, with the mining pool operator to provide computing power to the mining pool. The contract is terminable at any time by either party without penalty and the Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when the Company provides computing power to the mining pool operator. In exchange for providing computing power, we are entitled to a Full-Pay-Per-Share payout of Bitcoin based on a contractual formula, which primarily calculates the hash rate provided by us to the mining pool as a percentage of total network hash rate, and other inputs. We are entitled to consideration even if a block is not successfully placed by the mining pool operator.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JUNE 30, 2024
(Unaudited)
Providing computing power to solve complex cryptographic algorithms in support of the Bitcoin blockchain (in a process known as “solving a block”) is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The provision of providing such computing power is the only performance obligation in the Company’s contract with the mining pool operator. The transaction consideration the Company receives is net of a contractually agreed upon “pool fee percentage” charged and kept by the mining pool operator and is noncash, in the form of Bitcoin, which the Company measures at fair value on the date Bitcoin is received. This value is not materially different than the fair value at the moment we meet the performance obligation, which can be recalculated based on the contractual formula. The consideration is variable. The amount of consideration recognized is constrained to the amount of consideration received, which is when it is probable a significant reversal will not occur. There is no significant financing component or risk of a significant revenue reversal in these transactions due to the performance obligations and settlement of the transactions being on a daily basis.
Cryptocurrency Revenue
During 2023, we generated revenue from the sale of cryptocurrency packages to our customers through an arrangement with a third-party supplier. The various packages included different amounts of coin with differing rates of returns and terms. The coin is delivered by a third-party supplier. The sale of cryptocurrency packages was discontinued during the year ended December 31, 2023.
During 2023, we recognized cryptocurrency revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation was to arrange for the third parties to provide coin and protection (if applicable) to our customers and payment was received from our customers at the time of order placement. All customers were given two weeks to request a refund, therefore we would record a customer advance on our balance sheet upon receipt of payment. After the two weeks have passed from order placement, we request our third-party supplier to deliver coin and protection (if applicable), at which time we recognize revenue and the amounts due to our supplier on our books. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we generated revenue from the sale of cryptocurrency packages.
Mining Equipment Repair Revenue
Through our wholly owned subsidiary, SAFETek, LLC, prior to June 30, 2023, we repaired broken mining equipment for sale to third-party customers. Our mining equipment repair business was discontinued during the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Prior to June 30, 2023, we recognized miner repair revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation was to deliver the promised goods to our customers.

Inventory
Inventory

Income Taxes
Income taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the consideration of all available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes in assumptions in future periods may require we adjust our valuation allowance, which could materially impact our financial position and results of operations. The Company recognizes the benefit of an uncertain tax position that it has taken or expects to take on its income tax return, if such a position is more likely than not to be sustained.
We follow ASC Subtopic 260-10, Earnings per Share, which specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic loss per share has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted during the period. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share are excluded from the calculation.

Lease Obligation
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in the operating lease right-of-use asset account, the operating lease liability, current account, and the operating lease liability, long term account in our balance sheet. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. For leases in which the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We have elected to not apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to short-term leases (leases with terms of twelve months or less). Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating lease arrangements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have elected the practical expedient and will not separate non-lease components from lease components and will instead account for each separate lease component and non-lease component associated with the lease components as a single lease component.

NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets. The amendments in ASU No. 2023-08 are intended to improve the accounting for certain crypto assets by requiring an entity to measure those crypto assets at fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The amendments also improve the information provided to investors about an entity’s crypto asset holdings by requiring disclosure about significant holdings, contractual sale restrictions, and changes during the reporting period. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued (or made available for issuance). If an entity adopts the amendments in an interim period, it must adopt them as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. ASU No. 2023-08 requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets) as of the beginning of the annual reporting period in which an entity adopts the amendments. The Company has not yet adopted ASU No. 2023-08 and is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption will have on the Company’s financial statement presentation and disclosures.
We have noted no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that we have not yet adopted that we believe are applicable or would have a material impact on our financial statements.

The decrease can be explained by a $2.3 million decrease in our subscription revenue, $1.7 million decrease in our mining revenue, and $87 thousand decrease in our cryptocurrency revenue. The $2.3 million (16%) decrease in subscription revenue was driven by the continued adverse impact of global inflation which caused a general slowdown in the direct sales and home based business industry; the $1.7 million (62%) decrease in mining revenue was a result of a number of factors, including, the “Bitcoin Halving” which occurred on April 19th, 2024, and increase in Bitcoin Network Difficulty and a mandated power curtailment enforced by the government-controlled utility company in Iceland, partially offset by an increase in the price of Bitcoin,; and the $87 thousand (100%) decrease in cryptocurrency revenue was due to the discontinuation of our distribution of NDAU during the year ended December 31, 2023.

The decrease can be explained by a decrease in commissions of $1.8 million, which was a result of decreases in our subscription revenue, a decrease in cost of sales and services of $1.3 million, which was a result of a power curtailment mandated by the government-controlled utility companies in Iceland, and a decrease in general and administrative expenses, which was a result of decreases in credit card processing fees due to the decreases in our subscription revenue and decreases in costs related to our mining operations. These decreases were offset by an increase in selling and marketing expenses of $243 thousand due to an increase in costs associated with promotional events iGenius held during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Revenue, net, decreased $2,045,889, or 7%, from $30,824,487 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, to $28,778,598 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease can be explained by $484 thousand, $1.2 million, and $366 thousand decreases in our subscription revenue, mining revenue, and cryptocurrency revenue, respectively. The $484 thousand (2%) decrease in subscription revenue was driven by the continued adverse impact of global inflation which caused a general slowdown in the direct sales and home based business industry; the $1.2 million (24%) decrease in mining revenue was a result of “Bitcoin Halving” which occurred on April 19th, 2024, an increase in Bitcoin Network Difficulty and a mandated power curtailment enforced by the government-controlled utility companies in Iceland, partially offset by an increase in the price of Bitcoin,; and the $367 thousand decrease in cryptocurrency revenue was due to the discontinuation of our distribution of NDAU during the year ended December 31, 2023.

The decrease can be explained by a decrease in commissions of $1.0 million, which was a result of decreases in our subscription revenue, a decrease in cost of sales and services of $1.0 million, which was a result of a power curtailment mandated by the government-controlled utility companies in Iceland, a decrease in salary and related of $314 thousand, which was a result of a decrease in stock based compensation, a decrease in professional fees, which was a result of a decrease in amounts paid to consultants, and a decrease in general and administrative expenses, which was a result of decreases in credit card processing fees due to the decreases in our subscription revenue and decreases in costs related to our mining operations.

We recognized other income of $646,423 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This reflects an increase of $446,128, or 223%, from other income of $200,295 recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The change is due to a realized gain on cryptocurrency in the current period of $283 thousand compared to a realized gain of $229 thousand in the equivalent prior year period and an increase in Other income (expense) in the current period of $446 thousand, as we recognized more interest income in the current period due to our cash balances being held in higher interest-bearing accounts, as compared to the equivalent prior year period, and as a result of an increase in ticket sales from certain promotional events iGenius held during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we met our short- and long-term working capital and capital expenditure requirements, including funding for operations, capital expenditures, growth initiatives, and for debt service on our outstanding indebtedness and dividends on our Series B Preferred Stock, through net cash flows provided by operating activities. We believe we will have sufficient resources, including cash flow from operations and access to capital markets, to meet debt service obligations in a timely manner and be able to meet our objectives.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded net income from operations of $2,325,506 and net income of $2,202,787. As of June 30, 2024, we have unrestricted cash of $23,659,262. Also, as of June 30, 2024, our current assets exceeded our current liabilities to result in working capital of $16,836,019 and our cryptocurrency balance was reported at a cost basis of $86,276. Management does not believe there are any liquidity issues as of June 30, 2024.

Critical Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
Our policy is to prepare our financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations (Regulation S-X) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for our year ending December 31, 2024, as will be included in the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2023, consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Investview, Inc., and our wholly owned subsidiaries: iGenius, LLC, SAFETek, LLC, Investview Financial Group Holdings, LLC, Opencash Finance, Inc., Opencash Securities, LLC, Investview MTS, LLC, and MyLife Wellness Company. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Long-Lived Assets – Cryptocurrencies
We account for our cryptocurrencies and intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 350-30, General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill, and ASC Subtopic 360-10-05, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. ASC Subtopic 350-30 requires assets to be measured based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more reliably measurable. Our cryptocurrencies are deemed to have an indefinite useful life; therefore, amounts are not amortized, but rather are assessed for impairment as further discussed in our impairment policy. Under ASC Subtopic 350-30 any intangible asset with a useful life is required to be amortized over that life and the useful life is to be evaluated every reporting period to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of useful life is changed the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over the revised remaining useful life. Costs of internally developing, maintaining, or restoring intangible assets are recognized as an expense when incurred.
We hold cryptocurrency-denominated assets and include them in our consolidated balance sheet as Other current assets. The value of our cryptocurrencies as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $86,276 and $585,632, respectively. Cryptocurrencies purchased or received for payment from customers are recorded in accordance with ASC 350-30 and cryptocurrencies awarded to the Company through its mining activities ($3,721,376 and $4,893,097 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively) are accounted for in connection with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. The use of cryptocurrencies is accounted for in accordance with the first in first out method of accounting. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded realized gains (losses) on our cryptocurrency transactions of $282,554 and $228,845, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We have adopted ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment. ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by us be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or when the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period.
| 27 |
We evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted and an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, no impairment was recorded.
Subscription Revenue
Most of our revenue is generated by membership and subscription sales and payment is received at the time of purchase. We recognize subscription revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to provide services over a fixed subscription period; therefore, we recognize revenue ratably over the subscription period and deferred revenue is recorded for the portion of the subscription period subsequent to each reporting date. Additionally, we offer a designated trial period to first-time subscription customers, during which a full refund can be requested if a customer does not wish to continue with the subscription. Revenues are deferred during the trial period as collection is not probable until that time has passed. Revenues are presented net of refunds, sales incentives, credits, and known and estimated credit card chargebacks. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our deferred revenues were $2,018,834 and $2,703,398, respectively.
Mining Revenue
We generate revenue from mining bitcoin. The Company has entered into a digital asset mining pool by executing a contract, as amended from time to time, with the mining pool operator to provide computing power to the mining pool. The contract is terminable at any time by either party without penalty and the Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when the Company provides computing power to the mining pool operator. In exchange for providing computing power, we are entitled to a Full-Pay-Per-Share payout of Bitcoin based on a contractual formula, which primarily calculates the hash rate provided by us to the mining pool as a percentage of total network hash rate, and other inputs. We are entitled to consideration even if a block is not successfully placed by the mining pool operator.
Providing computing power to solve complex cryptographic algorithms in support of the Bitcoin blockchain (in a process known as “solving a block”) is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The provision of providing such computing power is the only performance obligation in the Company’s contract with the mining pool operator. The transaction consideration the Company receives is net of a contractually agreed upon “pool fee percentage” charged and kept by the mining pool operator and is noncash, in the form of Bitcoin, which the Company measures at fair value on the date Bitcoin is received. This value is not materially different than the fair value at the moment we meet the performance obligation, which can be recalculated based on the contractual formula. The consideration is variable. The amount of consideration recognized is constrained to the amount of consideration received, which is when it is probable a significant reversal will not occur. There is no significant financing component or risk of a significant revenue reversal in these transactions due to the performance obligations and settlement of the transactions being on a daily basis.
Cryptocurrency Revenue
During 2023, we generated revenue from the sale of cryptocurrency packages to our customers through an arrangement with a third-party supplier. The various packages included different amounts of coin with differing rates of returns and terms. The coin is delivered by a third-party supplier. The sale of cryptocurrency packages was discontinued during the year ended December 31, 2023.
During 2023, we recognized cryptocurrency revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation was to arrange for the third-parties to provide coin and protection (if applicable) to our customers and payment was received from our customers at the time of order placement. All customers were given two weeks to request a refund, therefore we would record a customer advance on our balance sheet upon receipt of payment. After the two weeks have passed from order placement, we request our third-party supplier to deliver coin and protection (if applicable), at which time we recognize revenue and the amounts due to our supplier on our books. During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, we generated no revenue from the sale of cryptocurrency packages.
Mining Equipment Repair Revenue
Through our wholly owned subsidiary, SAFETek, LLC, prior to June 30, 2023, we repaired broken mining equipment for sale to third-party customers. Our mining equipment repair business was discontinued during the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Prior to June 30, 2023, we recognized miner repair revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue was measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to deliver the promised goods to our customers.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets. The amendments in ASU No. 2023-08 are intended to improve the accounting for certain crypto assets by requiring an entity to measure those crypto assets at fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The amendments also improve the information provided to investors about an entity’s crypto asset holdings by requiring disclosure about significant holdings, contractual sale restrictions, and changes during the reporting period. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued (or made available for issuance). If an entity adopts the amendments in an interim period, it must adopt them as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. ASU No. 2023-08 requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets) as of the beginning of the annual reporting period in which an entity adopts the amendments. The Company has not yet adopted ASU No. 2023-08 and is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption will have on the Company’s financial statement presentation and disclosures.
We have noted no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that we have not yet adopted that we believe are applicable or would have a material impact on our financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results of operations, liquidity, or capital expenditures.
ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, as such, are not required to provide the information under this item.
ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There have been no material changes to this information since reported on in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
ITEM 1.A – RISK FACTORS
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in the risk factors disclosed by us under Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
We have recently instituted collection efforts through litigation against one of our credit card processors and its clearing bank as efforts to account for and collect approximately $1.87 million of our credit card receivables that were supposed to have been held by them in reserve, have not proven successful.
The Company’s financial statements as of June 30, 2024, reflect a receivables balance of $2.32 million. Of that balance, $2.31 million represents receivables that arise out of credit card transactions generated by the Company’s iGenius subsidiary. The credit card transactions that arise out of the ordinary course operations of the Company’s iGenius subsidiary, are processed by the Company’s credit card processors, in conjunction with their clearing banks. Over time, the balance of credit card collections being held by one of our credit card processors and its clearing bank, which are legally supposed to be held for the benefit of the Company, subject to coverage for chargebacks and other normal course collection issues, has increased to approximately $1.87 million. As they had been unresponsive to our repeated demands for payment, claiming that they were in the process of concluding their internal accounting of the amounts due and status of our accounts, in March 2024, the Company instituted a lawsuit against this credit card processor and its clearing bank seeking, among other things, an accounting for and repayment of the withheld funds. In August 2024, the credit card processor advised us that it had concluded its internal accounting process and had agreed that approximately $1.87 million was due to us. Having agreed upon the amount due to us, the credit card processor has also recently proposed repayment of the amount due to us on an instalment basis, the terms of which we are considering. Should the Company be unable to collect some or all of the funds owed, it will be caused to incur a corollary bad debt expense of up to the uncollected amount which is currently approximately $1.87 million. Furthermore, the Company may be caused under generally accepted accounting principles, to incur a bad debt expense if it is determined that the amounts owed to the Company are unlikely to be collected, although the Company has not yet reached that conclusion. A charge of up to $1.87 million, which represents less than 10% of the Company’s current assets, would not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s long-term liquidity, however, could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s net earnings in the period incurred.
