Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to uncollectible receivables, inventory valuation, deferred compensation, and contingencies.

We base our estimates on historical performance and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates allow us to make judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. If actual results or events differ materially from those contemplated by us in making these estimates, our reported financial condition, and results of operations for future periods could be materially affected.

Results of Operations

Our operating results for the three and six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Revenue

Revenue for the three and six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023 was $0.1 million from consulting services.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses primarily consist of selling, general and administrative expenses, stock-based compensation expense, and amortization and depreciation expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel costs, consultant fees, professional fees, computer and internet expenses, marketing expenses, utilities expenses, meals and entertainment, office supplies, and reporting fees.

Operating expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2024 were $1.1 million compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended July 31, 2023. The primary reason for the decrease was due to decreases in stock-based compensation of $0.3 million and professional fees of $0.2 million, partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization of $0.2 million.

Operating expenses for the six months ended July 31, 2024 were $2.5 million compared to $3.0 million for the six months ended July 31, 2023. The primary reason for the decrease was due to decreases in stock-based compensation of $0.6 million and professional fees of $0.3 million, partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization of $0.3 million.

Loss from Operations

Loss from operations for the three months ended July 31, 2024 was $1.0 million compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended July 31, 2023. Loss from operations for the six months ended July 31, 2024 was $2.4 million compared to $2.9 million for the six months ended July 31, 2023. The primary reasons for the decrease in loss from operations were due to the decrease in operating expenses as discussed above. 

Other Expense

Other income (expense) consists primarily of fair market value adjustments to cryptocurrency and interest income and expense.

Other expense, net for the three months ended July 31, 2024 was $0 million compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended July 31, 2023. Other expense, net for the three months ended July 31, 2023 consists primarily of fair market value expense adjustments related to cryptocurrency of $1.3 million.

Other expense, net for the six months ended July 31, 2024 was $0.1 million compared to $1.3 million for the six months ended July 31, 2023. Other expense, net for the six months ended July 31, 2023 consists primarily of fair market value expense adjustments related to cryptocurrency of $1.3 million.

Adjusted EBITDA

The Company reports all financial information required in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes, however, that evaluating its ongoing operating results will be enhanced if it also discloses certain non-GAAP information.

Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined by the Company as net income (loss) plus net interest income, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, net cash provided by operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation since each company may define these terms differently.

The table below reconciles Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to net loss.

Analysis of Cash Flows

Net cash used in operating activities – continuing operations was $0.9 million for the six months ended July 31, 2024. We had net loss of $2.4 million from continuing operations, which included stock-based compensation of $0.8 million.

Net cash used in operating activities – continuing operations was $0.3 million for the six months ended July 31, 2023. We had net loss of $4.2 million from continuing operations, which included fair value adjustments to cryptocurrency of $1.3 million and stock-based compensation of $1.4 million.

During the six months ended July 31, 2023, we had capital expenditures of $0.5 million, partially offset by proceeds from cryptocurrencies of $0.2 million. 

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.8 million for the six months ended July 31, 2024, compared to $0.2 million for the six months ended July 31, 2023. During the six months ended July 31, 2024, we sold 953,387 shares of common stock for $0.5 million and borrowed an additional $0.4 million, which was partially offset by debt payments of $0.1 million. During the six months ended July 31, 2023, we received a $0.2 million receivable from a stockholder.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We fund operations primarily through cash on hand, cash from sales of Common Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, debt, and exercises of warrants, and the support of Michael Hawkins.

On March 21, 2024, the Company entered into a note for $83,300 with a net payment to the Company of $65,000 after an original issue discount of $13,300 and expenses of $5,000. There is a one-time interest charge of 14% which is paid back along with principal over the term of the note beginning with the first payment due on September 30, 2024. The maturity date of the note is December 30, 2024.

On April 9, 2024, we sold 50,000 shares of common stock to a third party for $28,500.

On May 15, 2024, ACES elected to convert 1,052,632 shares of Series C Preferred Stock into 4,095,948 shares of common stock.

On July 26, 2024, the Company entered into a note for $120,000 with a net payment to the Company of $95,000 after an original issue discount of $20,000 and expenses of $5,000. There is a one-time interest charge of 10% which is paid back along with principal over the term of the note beginning with the first payment due on August 30, 2024. The maturity date of the note is April 30, 2025.

In August 2024, the Company was unable to make a debt payment. The lender chose to take payment in the form of Company common stock. Therefore, the Company issued to the lender 249,031 shares of common stock in lieu of payment of $37,500.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements as of July 31, 2024.

Going Concern

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Because the business is relatively new and has a short history and relatively few sales, no certainty of continuation can be stated. The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company and therefore, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item of Form 10-Q.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2024. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures.

Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their desired control objectives. Additionally, in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures, management is required to apply its reasonable judgment. Based on the evaluation described above, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report because we did not document our Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404 internal controls and procedures.

As funds become available to us, we expect to implement additional measures to improve disclosure controls and procedures such as implementing and documenting our internal controls procedures.

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended July 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and its principal financial officer, do not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
