CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including in Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere herein, with respect to our financial condition, results of operations and business that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements”. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “plan”, “intend”, “seek”, “estimate”, “project”, “could”, “may” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024

 

Note 1 – Organization and Accounting Policies

 

CalEthos, Inc. (the “Company” or “we”) was incorporated on March 20, 2002 under the laws of the State of Nevada.

 

The Company is implementing its plan to build a clean-energy-powered data center operation using the latest energy-efficient building materials and cooling technologies and to provide wholesale colocation services to enterprise IT and hyperscale customers. In addition, the Company may acquire assets and all or part of other companies operating in the high-density computing industry or invest in or joint venture with other more-established companies already in the industry that would add value to the Company’s business strategy.

 

As of July 2022, the Company’s board of directors resolved to focus exclusively on developing a clean-energy-powered data center (“Data Center Campus”).

 

Korean entity

 

On November 5, 2021, AIQ System Inc. (“AIQ”) was incorporated in Seoul, Republic of Korea. AIQ is authorized to issue 3 million shares of common stock. At the date of incorporation, 10,000 shares were issued to the Company for 100,000,000 Korean Won, or approximately $89,000, for 100% ownership of AIQ. As of July 2022, AIQ was placed into a dormant state of operations.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The December 31, 2023 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future period.

 

These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 9, 2024.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary from the formation date. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Going Concern and Liquidity

 

The Company incurred a net loss of approximately $9,329,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, had an accumulated deficit of approximately $28,609,000 as of September 30, 2024 and had no recurring revenue from operations. The Company has financed its activities principally through debt and equity financing and shareholder contributions. Management expects to incur additional losses and cash outflows in the foreseeable future in connection with its operating activities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

5
 

 

The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other similar stage companies, including dependence on key individuals; successful development, marketing and branding of services; the uncertainty of product development and generation of revenues; dependence on outside sources of financing; risks associated with research and development; dependence on third-party suppliers and collaborators; protection of intellectual property; and competition with larger, better-capitalized companies. Ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations is dependent on future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fund the Company’s operations and generating a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure.

 

The Company will need to raise debt or equity financing in the future in order to continue its operations and achieve its growth targets. However, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available in sufficient amounts and on acceptable terms, when and if needed, or at all. The precise amount and timing of the funding needs cannot be determined accurately at this time, and will depend on a number of factors, including the development of the Company’s data center campus, approvals for construction permits, construction times, delivery of critical equipment, market demand for the Company’s wholesale colocation data center services, the timing of customer commitments for data center space, the management of working capital, and payment terms and conditions for purchase of the Company’s services. The Company believes its cash balances and cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to fund its operations and growth for the next twelve months from the issuance date of these financial statements. If the Company is unable to raise additional funding from investors or through other avenues, it may not be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries, for which the functional currency is the local currency, are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at the consolidated balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and a weighted-average exchange rate during the year for revenue, expenses, gains and losses. Translation adjustments are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders’ equity (deficit). Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

  Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
  Level 2 - Other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
  Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

 

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

 

6
 

 

As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had no assets or liabilities that require fair value measurement.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates their fair value. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) in accounts that at times may be in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000 per bank. The Company minimizes this risk by placing its cash deposits with major financial institutions. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately nil and $22,000, respectively, in excess of the federal insurance limit.

 

Prepaid Expenses

 

Prepaid expenses are assets held by the Company that are expected to be realized and consumed within twelve months after the reporting period.

 

Data Center Campus Costs

 

Data center cost is stated at cost, which includes the cost incurred to complete phase I of the Company’s data center development plan. Phase I costs include the option payment for the land and the cost of consulting firms to provide power and connectivity assessments, feasibility studies, engineering plans, and project benchmarking. Data center cost also includes internal cost such as payroll-related cost and debt interest cost.

 

In accordance with ASC 360-10-35, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of data center cost 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.

 

The 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 cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in net income.

 

As of September 30, 2024, there have been no circumstances to indicate the asset may not be recoverable.

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) section 850-10 for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related-party transactions.

 

7
 

 

Pursuant to ASC section 850-10-20, the related parties include (a.) affiliates of the Company (“Affiliate” means, with respect to any specified Person, any other Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act); (b.) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option of ASC section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c.) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d.) principal owners of the Company; (e.) management of the Company; (f.) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g.) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: (a.) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b.) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; (c.) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and (d.) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company follows ASC section 450-20 to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation under ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

 

The Company uses the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the BSM model for measuring the fair value of options. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.

Earnings Per Share

 

The Company uses ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” for calculating the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. The Company computes basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options and warrants and stock awards. For periods with a net loss, basic and diluted loss per share is the same, in that any potential common stock equivalents would have the effect of being anti-dilutive in the computation of net loss per share.

 

Securities that could potentially dilute loss per share in the future were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents amounted to 6,675,801 and 14,495,621 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company’s management reviewed all recently-issued accounting standard updates (“ASU’s”) not yet adopted by the Company and does not believe the future adoptions of any such ASU’s may be expected to cause a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or the results of its operations.

 

Note 2 – Data Center Costs

 

DATA CENTER COSTS

On July 22, 2024, the Company entered into an option agreement (“Option”) to acquire for a purchase price of $5,000,000 a 315-acre parcel of land (“New Property”) in Imperial County, California to be used for the development of the Company’s Data Center Campus. With the execution of the Option, the Company paid a non-refundable deposit of $50,000. The Option has an initial term of one year and may be extended for an additional six-month period by the payment of $75,000 on or before July 21, 2025.

 

On March 30, 2023, the Company signed an option agreement (“Initial Option”) to acquire 80 acres of commercially-zoned land (“Initial Property”) in Imperial County, California for $3,360,000 (“Purchase Price”). The Initial Property was optioned to be the land used for the Company’s Data Center Campus. The Company paid a non-refundable deposit of $84,000 on the signing of the Initial Option. On July 24, 2024 (“Termination Date”), the Company terminated (“Termination”) the Initial Option as the Company believes the New Property is better suited for the Company’s Data Center Campus project.

 

As of the Termination Date, the Company had approximately $4,158,000 of cost (“DCC Cost”) for the Data Center Campus project. In accordance with ASC 790 and 360, the Company is required to determine the amount of DCC Cost (“Option Cost”) associated with the Initial Property. The Option Cost is required to be expense at the date the Company abandoned the Initial Option. The Company has determined the date of abandonment was the Termination Date. As of the Termination Date, the Company had approximately $344,000 of Option Cost. The remaining DCC Cost are related to the development activities to the overall Data Center Campus, as such are not cost associated with the Initial Property.

 

As of September 30, 2024, the Company has incurred DCC Cost of approximately $4,875,000, which includes approximately $242,000 of capitalized interest related to the interest calculated for the funds, from the Notes payable and Convertible promissory notes, used for the DCC development expenditures.

In February 2024, the Company issued a promissory note (“Promissory Note”) in the principal amount of $1,000,000 that bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum and originally matured on May 31, 2024 (“Maturity Date”). It also issued a five-year warrant to purchase up to 200,000 shares of common stock with an initial exercise price of $0.50 per share (“Finance Warrant”).

 

In accordance with ASC 470 - Debt, the Company has allocated the $1,000,000 of cash proceeds on a relative fair value to the Promissory Note and the Finance Warrant. The Finance Warrant was valued using the Black Scholes option pricing model for a total fair value of approximately $1,389,000 based on a 2.5-year term, volatility of 159% , a risk-free equivalent yield of 4.1%, and a stock price of $7.21. The Finance Warrant was ascribed a relative fair value of approximately $581,000.

 

On the Maturity Date, the holder of the Promissory Note agreed to extend the Maturity Date to August 31, 2024 (“Extension Maturity”). As consideration for the Extension, the Company issued to the holder a warrant to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an initial exercise price of $3.50 per share (“Extension Warrant”).

 

The Extension Warrant was valued using the Black Scholes option pricing model for a total fair value of approximately $853,000 based on a 2.5-year term, volatility of 163%, a risk-free equivalent yield of 4.3%, and a stock price of $3.5. The fair value of $853,000 was recorded as a debt discount to be amortized over the Extension period of three months. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had amortized approximately $853,000 of the value of the Extension Warrant.

 

On the Extension Maturity date, the holder of the Promissory Note agreed to extend the Extension Maturity to December 31, 2024 (“Additional Extension”). As consideration for the Additional Extension date, the Company issued to the holder a warrant to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an initial exercise price of $3.80 per share (“Additional Extension Warrant”).

 

The Additional Extension Warrant was valued using the Black Scholes option pricing model for a total fair value of approximately $921,000 based on a 2.5-year term, volatility of 162%, a risk-free equivalent yield of 3.8%, and a stock price of $3.80. The fair value of $921,000 was recorded as a debt discount to be amortized over the Additional Extension period of four months. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had amortized approximately $232,000 of the value of the Extension Warrant.

 

Interest expense on the Promissory Note amounted to $64,000 and $343,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, of which approximately $40,000 and $113,000, respectively, were capitalized as data center development cost.

 

Note 4 – Convertible Debentures

 

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

Convertible debentures transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 are summarized as follows:

 

Principal    
Balance, beginning of period  $341,000 
Additions   460,000 
Conversions   (341,000)

Additions   34,000 
Amortization   (2,000)
Balance, end of period  $32,000 
      
Net book value  $428,000 

 

In June 2024, the Company initiated a private place offering for its convertible promissory notes (the “Debentures”). As of September 30, 2024, the net proceeds were approximately $426,000, due to approximately $34,000 paid as debt issuance cost in connection with the issuance of the Debentures. The Debentures bears interest at 10.0% per annum with a default interest rate of 15.0% per annum. The principal amount and all accrued interest are payable on December 31, 2026. The holder of the Debentures has the option to convert the unpaid principal and interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion rate of $2.00 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and the like and for issuances by the Company of common stock at a price per share that is less than the then-current conversion price, subject to certain exceptions.

 

In accordance with the Debenture, the Company has the right to prepay the Debentures upon providing 45 days of its intention to prepay.

 

The outstanding principal amount of the Debentures and all accrued interest thereon shall automatically be converted into shares of common stock at the then effective conversion price upon (i) the close of business on the sixtieth (60th) consecutive day on which the VWAP of the Company’s common stock is at least $4.00 per share, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the common stock, or (ii) the execution by the Company of a long-term lease with a data center client for all or a substantial portion of the Company’s planned data center development project.

In December 2023, the Company offered the holders of the Company’s outstanding convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $341,000 the option to convert such notes into the Company’s common stock at a price ranging from $0.51 to $0.54 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company converted principal and interest of approximately $341,000 and $119,000, respectively (a total of $460,000), for 884,942 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair market value of approximately $6,928,000 as of the dates of conversion. As the terms of the conversion were not in accordance with the original conversion feature, the holders of such notes did not provide any concession to the Company, and there was not an inducement to the holders to convert. As the offer did not have a time limit, the Company has accounted for the conversion in accordance with ASC 470-50-40-4. The difference between the fair value of the consideration paid of approximately $6,928,000 and the liability of $460,000 was approximately $6,468,000, which was accounted for as a loss on liability settlement. The loss on the settlement was recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt on the statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

 

Interest expense on these convertible promissory notes amounted to $10,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, of which $7,000 was capitalized as Data Center Campus Cost.

Stock Options

 

As part of the offer letter executed on April 1, 2024 for the Chief Strategy and Development officer, the Company award a non-qualified stock option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $2.62, which was the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance.

 

The 1,000,000 options vests as follows:

 

  168,750 shares on the date of issuance;
  168,750 shares on each the 1st, 2nd and 3rd anniversary dates of the issuance date;
  Phase (a) 32,500 shares upon the Award of a GMP contract to a construction manager/company;
  Phase (b) 65,000 shares upon completion of the initial site development plan and data center design and 100% construction documents;

The Company’s management has accounted for the options in accordance with ASC 718 – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires the Company to estimate the service period over which the compensation cost will be recognized. Management has estimated that the first development phase (a) will be completed by December 31, 2024, the second development phase (b) by March 31, 2025, the third development phase (c) by July 1, 2025, and the fourth and fifth development phases (d) and (e) by December 31, 2026. The estimated service period will be adjusted for actual and expected completion date changes. Any such change will be recognized prospectively, and the remaining deferred compensation will be recognized over the remaining service period.

 

The option grant date fair value of $2,437,000 was calculated using the Black Scholes fair value option-pricing model with key input variables provided by management, as of the date of issuance: volatility range 166.28% to 243.04%, the fair value of common stock $2.62, estimated life range 2.38 to 5.0 years, risk-free rate of range 4.34% to 4.72% and dividend rate of nil.

Note 7 – Subsequent Events

 

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated all events that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued to determine if they must be reported. The management determined there are no reportable events except for the following:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the financial statements and related notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth herein and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements.”

 

Plan of Operations

 

We are in the early stages of implementing our plan for the construction and operation of clean-energy-powered data centers to lease to large enterprise information technology (IT) customers that are creating or addressing the growing demand for AI, Cloud and High-Performance Computing (HPC) digital services. In planning for our initial data centers, we are in discussions with several large companies that would lease all or part of the data center campus, with the intention of cultivating long-term strategic relationships with them once they become our customers and providing them with solutions for their data center facilities and IT infrastructure requirements. We initially intend to provide clean-energy-powered wholesale colocation space with flexibility for customers to scale for future growth. As currently contemplated, our offerings will provide clean energy power, flexibility, reliability and security delivered through a tailored, customer-service-focused platform that will be designed to foster long-term relationships.

 

As of the filing of this Report, we have completed Phase I and entered into Phase II of our data center development plans. In the initial phase of our project, we originally signed an option agreement in March 2023 to acquire 80 acres of commercially-zoned land in Imperial County, California. We believed this site would provide us an opportunity to acquire commercially-zoned land on which we could combine nearby direct clean geothermal/solar energy with a 24/7 data center operation. However, in July 2024, we identified and entered into an option agreement to acquire a larger, 315-acre parcel of land that we believe provides us with significant advantages over our prior data center development site, which include:

 

  Larger, strategically located, industrial-zoned property with acreage for on-site switchyard, substation and additional data center buildings
  Better options for connectivity to high-voltage transmission lines
  Closer proximity to existing and planned geothermal power plants
  Shorter fiber routing distances to internet backbone and communications networks
  Directly on the main north/south transportation corridor (Hwy. 111) and gateway entrance (Sinclair Rd.) to the planned 51,000-acre Lithium Valley development area
  Lower flood risk - outside of the 100- and 500- year flood zones in a FEMA X (Unshaded) area

 

In late July 2024, we terminated our option agreement to acquire the 80-acre parcel in Imperial County, California as we believe the recently-optioned property is better suited for our immediate needs.

 

We believe 100% clean-energy-powered data centers are an important element in the ability of the U.S. to meet its carbon neutral climate goals and for hyperscale and enterprise IT companies to meet their shareholder and customer commitments to have an ESG-compliant, clean digital footprint before 2030. As a result, we believe the availability of nearby clean energy for our Imperial County site will provide us a significant competitive advantage in the marketplace.

 

In Phase I of our development plan, which we completed in December 2023, we contracted with leading data center advisory firms to complete site, power and connectivity assessments, feasibility studies, engineering plans and project benchmarking. Phase I of our plan included:

 

  Engaging HDR Engineering, Inc., a global professional services firm specializing in architecture, engineering, environmental and construction services (“HDR Engineering”), to complete a site assessment, project feasibility study, and the initial shovel-ready site development plan for our Imperial County site.  
       
  Engaging ZGlobal, Inc., a power engineering and energy solutions firm (“ZGlobal”), to assess all available power and transmission routes in the immediate area of the site and to develop a plan to access power from close by geothermal and solar producers via Behind-The-Meter, Off-Take and Power Purchase Agreements directly and through agreements with the local grid operator.  
       
  Engaging American Dark Fiber, Inc., a provider of dark fiber connectivity to municipalities, carriers, anchor institutions, content developers, data-center operators, and other sophisticated private network users, to develop a robust fiber-based infrastructure that will provide multiple diverse geographic routes of connectivity to our data center site.  
       
  Engaging Linesight, a construction consultancy services firm (“Linesight”), to provide cost benchmarking of initial design concepts, and to assist with desktop pre-qualification of architect-engineering firms and construction managers.  

 

13
 

 

At the end of December 2023, we started Phase II of our data center development plan. Phase II includes hiring additional staff and consultants to complete environmental, health and safety and cyber security procedures and to develop a set of data center operating procedures to meet customer pre-qualification requirements. During this phase, we will also develop requests for proposals (RFPs) and contract packages for contracting an engineering/design firm and general contractor. In addition, we will ramp up our operating staff to support the infrastructure and buildings design processes and the development of building plans and the permit packages. We will also undertake and complete utility studies, transmission planning, substation design and the next level of geotechnical testing.

 

Over the next few months, we plan to complete a power plan and agreements with local power producers and the local utility to deliver geothermal and solar power to our Imperial County Data Center Campus. In addition, in November 2024, we completed the customer pre-qualifications and basic infrastructure plans required to negotiate a letter of intent with a customer that will lease all or a substantial portion of our planned data center capacity. We are currently in discussions with a number of companies that are interested in leasing our planned development under a long-term, build-to-suit lease. Based upon the current interest we have received from potential customers; we expect that we will have a letter of intent completed by the end of the first quarter of 2025.

 

Based on receiving a letter of intent and considering current design requirements for higher-power rack density by customers, we now contemplate starting the design process in collaboration with a customer sometime in the first quarter of 2025 and to have plans and permit packages completed by the end of the second quarter of 2025. If those components of Phase II are completed as planned, we would then start the initial phase of construction by the end of the second quarter or the beginning of the third quarter of 2025.

 

It is anticipated that we will incur significant expenses in the implementation of our business plan as described herein, and that we will require substantial financing to complete the development and construction of the planned data center operation. A failure to obtain this necessary capital when required on acceptable terms, or at all, could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our development plans, any commercialization efforts and any other operations. We may not be able to secure financing on favorable terms, or at all, to meet our future capital needs. In addition, even if we are able to obtain sufficient funding to commence our business operations, we may need to pursue additional financing in the future to make expenditures and/or investments to support the growth of our business. In addition, we may require additional capital to pursue our business objectives and respond to new competitive pressures, pay extraordinary expenses or fund our growth, including through acquisitions. Additional funding, however, may not be available when required on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when it is required, our ability to commence and grow our proposed business operations, to support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited.

 

We currently have only limited capital with which to pay these anticipated expenses. To fund our business plan going forward, we intend to raise funds from investors by issuing common stock, preferred stock and/or debt securities.

Loss on extinguishment of debt

 

In December 2023, we requested the holders of our outstanding convertible promissory notes to convert such promissory notes into shares of our common stock.

Net cash used in operating activities  $(492,000)  $(40,000)

Cash and cash equivalents, end of period  $156,000   $1,178,000 

 

Cash flows from operations

 

Cash used in operating activities increased to approximately $492,000 in for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from approximately $40,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which was predominantly related to the increase in our expenditures for filing fees, legal fees, transfer agent fees and consulting fees paid during the period.

 

Cash flow from investing

 

Our cash used for investing activities increased to approximately $1,085,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from approximately $854,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The primary use of cash was for expenditures for the development of our Data Center Campus.

 

Cash flows from financing

 

Our cash provided by financing activities increased to approximately $1,426,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from approximately nil for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase of $1,426,000 was due to the issuance of a promissory note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 and the issuance of a convertible debenture in the principal amount of $460,000 less $34,000 of cash paid for expense related to the issuance.

 

Liquidity and Material Cash Requirements

 

Even though we experienced negative cash flows from operations of approximately $492,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, as a result of our private placement of a promissory note and convertible debentures in the principal amounts of $1,000,000 and $460,000, respectively, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $156,000 at September 30, 2024. The promissory note we issued in February 2024 originally matured on May 30, 2024. However, the Company and note holder agreed to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2024. We expect to be able to refinance that note prior to its maturity. However, if we are unable to do so, we believe we will be able to negotiate an extension of the maturity date of such note as the holder of that note is a director of our company.

 

It is anticipated that we will incur expenses in the implementation of the business plan described above, and such expenses will require substantial financing to complete the development of the property for a data center operation and to achieve our goals. We currently have only limited capital with which to pay these anticipated expenses. To fund our business plan going forward, we intend to raise funds from investors by issuing common stock, preferred stock and/or debt securities. We are currently in discussions with several potential funding sources. However, there can be no assurance we will be able to successfully raise additional funds when required, if at all.

 

The failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed on acceptable terms, or at all, could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our development plans, any commercialization efforts or other operations. We may not be able to secure financing on favorable terms, or at all, to meet our future capital needs. In addition, even if we are able to obtain sufficient funding to commence our business operations, we may need to pursue additional financing in the future to make expenditures and/or investments to support the growth of our business and may require additional capital to pursue our business objectives and respond to new competitive pressures, pay extraordinary expenses or fund our growth, including through acquisitions. Additional funds, however, may not be available when we need them on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to commence our proposed business operations, to continue to grow and support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited.

Going Concern

 

The unaudited financial statements included in this Report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that our company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. We are presently in the development stage and, apart from our cash balances, have only limited assets. Our company has not generated revenues in the last two fiscal years, has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon: (i) continued financial support from our shareholders; (ii) the ability of our company to continue raising necessary debt or equity financing to achieve its operating objectives; and (iii) our ability to acquire assets and establish a business or merge or otherwise acquire business opportunities.

 

Our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, our financial statements contain further note disclosures in this regard. The implementation of our business plan is dependent upon our ability to continue raising sufficient new capital from equity or debt markets in order to fund our on-going operating losses and real estate acquisition activities. The issuance of additional equity securities could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders.

 

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures of our company. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions that our company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from such estimates.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our company and our wholly-owned subsidiary from the formation date. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The financial statements of our foreign subsidiary, for which the functional currency is the local currency, are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at the consolidated balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and a weighted-average exchange rate during the year for revenue, expenses, gains and losses. Translation adjustments are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders’ equity (deficit). Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Debt and Debt Discounts

 

In accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, we first allocate the cash proceeds of any notes we sell with warrants between the notes and any warrants on a relative fair value basis. Proceeds are then allocated to the conversion feature.

 

We account for debt discounts originating in connection with conversion features that remain embedded in the related notes in accordance with ASC 470-20. These costs are classified on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability. We amortize these costs over the term of our debt agreements as financing cost in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We account for our stock-based compensation under ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” using the fair value based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges it equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

 

We use the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the BSM model for measuring the fair value of options. The stock-based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Our management reviewed all recently-issued accounting standard updates (“ASU’s”) not yet adopted by our company and does not believe the future adoptions of any such ASU’s may be expected to cause a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or the results of our operations.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial position, revenues and expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Not required under Regulation S-K for smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our “Certifying Officers”), conducted evaluations of our disclosure controls and procedures. As defined under Sections 13a - 15(e) and 15d - 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including the Certifying Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Based on their evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that, as of September 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

The material weakness related to internal control over financial reporting that was identified at September 30, 2024 was that we did not have sufficient personnel staffing in our accounting and financial reporting department. As a result, we were not able to achieve adequate segregation of duties and were not able to provide for adequate review of the financial statements.

 

This control deficiency could result in a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. However, our management believes that the material weakness identified does not result in the restatement of any previously reported financial statements or any other related financial disclosure, and management does not believe that the material weakness had any effect on the accuracy of our financial statements included as part of this Quarterly Report.

 

We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

 

Readers are cautioned that our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. 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 our control have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any control 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 the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Note 1 – Organization and Accounting Policies

 

CalEthos, Inc. (the “Company” or “we”) was incorporated on March 20, 2002 under the laws of the State of Nevada.

 

The Company is implementing its plan to build a clean-energy-powered data center operation using the latest energy-efficient building materials and cooling technologies and to provide wholesale colocation services to enterprise IT and hyperscale customers. In addition, the Company may acquire assets and all or part of other companies operating in the high-density computing industry or invest in or joint venture with other more-established companies already in the industry that would add value to the Company’s business strategy.

 

As of July 2022, the Company’s board of directors resolved to focus exclusively on developing a clean-energy-powered data center (“Data Center Campus”).

 

Korean entity

 

On November 5, 2021, AIQ System Inc. (“AIQ”) was incorporated in Seoul, Republic of Korea. AIQ is authorized to issue 3 million shares of common stock. At the date of incorporation, 10,000 shares were issued to the Company for 100,000,000 Korean Won, or approximately $89,000, for 100% ownership of AIQ. As of July 2022, AIQ was placed into a dormant state of operations.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The December 31, 2023 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future period.

 

These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 9, 2024.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary from the formation date. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Going Concern and Liquidity

 

The Company incurred a net loss of approximately $9,329,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, had an accumulated deficit of approximately $28,609,000 as of September 30, 2024 and had no recurring revenue from operations. The Company has financed its activities principally through debt and equity financing and shareholder contributions. Management expects to incur additional losses and cash outflows in the foreseeable future in connection with its operating activities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

 

The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other similar stage companies, including dependence on key individuals; successful development, marketing and branding of services; the uncertainty of product development and generation of revenues; dependence on outside sources of financing; risks associated with research and development; dependence on third-party suppliers and collaborators; protection of intellectual property; and competition with larger, better-capitalized companies. Ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations is dependent on future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fund the Company’s operations and generating a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure.

 

The Company will need to raise debt or equity financing in the future in order to continue its operations and achieve its growth targets. However, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available in sufficient amounts and on acceptable terms, when and if needed, or at all. The precise amount and timing of the funding needs cannot be determined accurately at this time, and will depend on a number of factors, including the development of the Company’s data center campus, approvals for construction permits, construction times, delivery of critical equipment, market demand for the Company’s wholesale colocation data center services, the timing of customer commitments for data center space, the management of working capital, and payment terms and conditions for purchase of the Company’s services. The Company believes its cash balances and cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to fund its operations and growth for the next twelve months from the issuance date of these financial statements. If the Company is unable to raise additional funding from investors or through other avenues, it may not be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries, for which the functional currency is the local currency, are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at the consolidated balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and a weighted-average exchange rate during the year for revenue, expenses, gains and losses. Translation adjustments are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders’ equity (deficit). Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

  Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
  Level 2 - Other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
  Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

 

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

 

 

As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had no assets or liabilities that require fair value measurement.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates their fair value. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) in accounts that at times may be in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000 per bank. The Company minimizes this risk by placing its cash deposits with major financial institutions. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately nil and $22,000, respectively, in excess of the federal insurance limit.

 

Prepaid Expenses

 

Prepaid expenses are assets held by the Company that are expected to be realized and consumed within twelve months after the reporting period.

 

Data Center Campus Costs

 

Data center cost is stated at cost, which includes the cost incurred to complete phase I of the Company’s data center development plan. Phase I costs include the option payment for the land and the cost of consulting firms to provide power and connectivity assessments, feasibility studies, engineering plans, and project benchmarking. Data center cost also includes internal cost such as payroll-related cost and debt interest cost.

 

In accordance with ASC 360-10-35, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of data center cost 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.

 

The 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 cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in net income.

 

As of September 30, 2024, there have been no circumstances to indicate the asset may not be recoverable.

 

Related Parties

 

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) section 850-10 for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related-party transactions.

 

 

Pursuant to ASC section 850-10-20, the related parties include (a.) affiliates of the Company (“Affiliate” means, with respect to any specified Person, any other Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act); (b.) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option of ASC section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c.) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d.) principal owners of the Company; (e.) management of the Company; (f.) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g.) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: (a.) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b.) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; (c.) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and (d.) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company follows ASC section 450-20 to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation under ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

 

The Company uses the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the BSM model for measuring the fair value of options. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.

 

 

Earnings Per Share

 

The Company uses ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” for calculating the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. The Company computes basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options and warrants and stock awards. For periods with a net loss, basic and diluted loss per share is the same, in that any potential common stock equivalents would have the effect of being anti-dilutive in the computation of net loss per share.

 

Securities that could potentially dilute loss per share in the future were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents amounted to 6,675,801 and 14,495,621 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company’s management reviewed all recently-issued accounting standard updates (“ASU’s”) not yet adopted by the Company and does not believe the future adoptions of any such ASU’s may be expected to cause a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or the results of its operations.

In June 2024, the Company initiated a private place offering for its convertible promissory notes (the “Debentures”). As of September 30, 2024, the net proceeds were approximately $426,000, due to approximately $34,000 paid as debt issuance cost in connection with the issuance of the Debentures. The Debentures bears interest at 10.0% per annum with a default interest rate of 15.0% per annum. The principal amount and all accrued interest are payable on December 31, 2026. The holder of the Debentures has the option to convert the unpaid principal and interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion rate of $2.00 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and the like and for issuances by the Company of common stock at a price per share that is less than the then-current conversion price, subject to certain exceptions.

 

In accordance with the Debenture, the Company has the right to prepay the Debentures upon providing 45 days of its intention to prepay.

 

The outstanding principal amount of the Debentures and all accrued interest thereon shall automatically be converted into shares of common stock at the then effective conversion price upon (i) the close of business on the sixtieth (60th) consecutive day on which the VWAP of the Company’s common stock is at least $4.00 per share, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the common stock, or (ii) the execution by the Company of a long-term lease with a data center client for all or a substantial portion of the Company’s planned data center development project.

 

 

In December 2023, the Company offered the holders of the Company’s outstanding convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $341,000 the option to convert such notes into the Company’s common stock at a price ranging from $0.51 to $0.54 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company converted principal and interest of approximately $341,000 and $119,000, respectively (a total of $460,000), for 884,942 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair market value of approximately $6,928,000 as of the dates of conversion. As the terms of the conversion were not in accordance with the original conversion feature, the holders of such notes did not provide any concession to the Company, and there was not an inducement to the holders to convert. As the offer did not have a time limit, the Company has accounted for the conversion in accordance with ASC 470-50-40-4. The difference between the fair value of the consideration paid of approximately $6,928,000 and the liability of $460,000 was approximately $6,468,000, which was accounted for as a loss on liability settlement. The loss on the settlement was recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt on the statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

 

Interest expense on these convertible promissory notes amounted to $10,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, of which $7,000 was capitalized as Data Center Campus Cost.

The 1,000,000 options vests as follows:

 

  168,750 shares on the date of issuance;
  168,750 shares on each the 1st, 2nd and 3rd anniversary dates of the issuance date;

The estimated service period will be adjusted for actual and expected completion date changes. Any such change will be recognized prospectively, and the remaining deferred compensation will be recognized over the remaining service period.

 

The option grant date fair value of $2,437,000 was calculated using the Black Scholes fair value option-pricing model with key input variables provided by management, as of the date of issuance: volatility range 166.28% to 243.04%, the fair value of common stock $2.62, estimated life range 2.38 to 5.0 years, risk-free rate of range 4.34% to 4.72% and dividend rate of nil.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The December 31, 2023 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future period.

 

These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 9, 2024.

 

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary from the formation date. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Going Concern and Liquidity

Going Concern and Liquidity

 

The Company incurred a net loss of approximately $9,329,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, had an accumulated deficit of approximately $28,609,000 as of September 30, 2024 and had no recurring revenue from operations. The Company has financed its activities principally through debt and equity financing and shareholder contributions. Management expects to incur additional losses and cash outflows in the foreseeable future in connection with its operating activities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

 

The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other similar stage companies, including dependence on key individuals; successful development, marketing and branding of services; the uncertainty of product development and generation of revenues; dependence on outside sources of financing; risks associated with research and development; dependence on third-party suppliers and collaborators; protection of intellectual property; and competition with larger, better-capitalized companies. Ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations is dependent on future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fund the Company’s operations and generating a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure.

 

The Company will need to raise debt or equity financing in the future in order to continue its operations and achieve its growth targets. However, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available in sufficient amounts and on acceptable terms, when and if needed, or at all. The precise amount and timing of the funding needs cannot be determined accurately at this time, and will depend on a number of factors, including the development of the Company’s data center campus, approvals for construction permits, construction times, delivery of critical equipment, market demand for the Company’s wholesale colocation data center services, the timing of customer commitments for data center space, the management of working capital, and payment terms and conditions for purchase of the Company’s services. The Company believes its cash balances and cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to fund its operations and growth for the next twelve months from the issuance date of these financial statements. If the Company is unable to raise additional funding from investors or through other avenues, it may not be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries, for which the functional currency is the local currency, are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at the consolidated balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and a weighted-average exchange rate during the year for revenue, expenses, gains and losses. Translation adjustments are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders’ equity (deficit). Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Fair Value Measurement

Fair Value Measurement

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

  Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
  Level 2 - Other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
  Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

 

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

 

 

As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had no assets or liabilities that require fair value measurement.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates their fair value. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) in accounts that at times may be in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000 per bank. The Company minimizes this risk by placing its cash deposits with major financial institutions. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately nil and $22,000, respectively, in excess of the federal insurance limit.

 

Prepaid Expenses

Prepaid Expenses

 

Prepaid expenses are assets held by the Company that are expected to be realized and consumed within twelve months after the reporting period.

 

Data Center Campus Costs

Data Center Campus Costs

 

Data center cost is stated at cost, which includes the cost incurred to complete phase I of the Company’s data center development plan. Phase I costs include the option payment for the land and the cost of consulting firms to provide power and connectivity assessments, feasibility studies, engineering plans, and project benchmarking. Data center cost also includes internal cost such as payroll-related cost and debt interest cost.

 

In accordance with ASC 360-10-35, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of data center cost 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.

 

The 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 cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in net income.

 

As of September 30, 2024, there have been no circumstances to indicate the asset may not be recoverable.

 

Related Parties

Related Parties

 

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) section 850-10 for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related-party transactions.

 

 

Pursuant to ASC section 850-10-20, the related parties include (a.) affiliates of the Company (“Affiliate” means, with respect to any specified Person, any other Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act); (b.) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option of ASC section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c.) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d.) principal owners of the Company; (e.) management of the Company; (f.) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g.) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: (a.) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b.) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; (c.) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and (d.) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company follows ASC section 450-20 to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation under ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

 

The Company uses the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the BSM model for measuring the fair value of options. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.

 

 

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

 

The Company uses ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” for calculating the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. The Company computes basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options and warrants and stock awards. For periods with a net loss, basic and diluted loss per share is the same, in that any potential common stock equivalents would have the effect of being anti-dilutive in the computation of net loss per share.

 

Securities that could potentially dilute loss per share in the future were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents amounted to 6,675,801 and 14,495,621 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company’s management reviewed all recently-issued accounting standard updates (“ASU’s”) not yet adopted by the Company and does not believe the future adoptions of any such ASU’s may be expected to cause a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or the results of its operations.
