AND Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended February 28, 2022 1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION Applied Blockchain, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) operates co-hosting facilities that are designed to provide massive computing power in which our customers lease space and access to electricity primarily designed to mine cryptoassets. The Company has a colocation business model where customers place hardware they own into the Company’s facilities and the Company provides full operational and maintenance services for a fixed fee. The Company typically enters into long term fixed rate contracts with our customers. In the third quarter of the fiscal year ended May 31, 2022, the Company approved plans to sell all crypto mining equipment and cease all crypto mining operations. The results of these operations, financial position, and cash flows have been presented as discontinued operations and the related assets and liabilities have been classified as held-for-sale. Refer to Note 14 – Discontinued Operations for additional information, including accounting policies, about the Company’s discontinued operations. The Company was originally incorporated in Nevada in May 2001. Effective April 14, 2021, the Company’s name was changed to Applied Blockchain, Inc. from Applied Science Products, Inc. During the year ended May 31, 2021, the Company formed two subsidiaries, Shanghai Sparkly Ore Tech, Ltd and Applied Blockchain, Ltd. Shanghai Sparkly Ore Tech, Ltd is a wholly owned foreign entity in China. Applied Blockchain, Ltd., a Cayman limited company, managed the Company’s digital wallet. During the year ending May 31, 2022, the Company formed five new wholly-owned subsidiaries, APLD Hosting, LLC, Applied Talent Resources LLC, APLD-JTND Phase II, LLC, APLD-Rattlesnake Den I, LLC, and APLD-Rattlesnake Den II, LLC. In June 2021, we formed APLD Hosting, LLC, in Nevada. APLD Hosting is entering into agreements to own and operate our co-hosting facilities.On November 2, 2021, we formed Applied Talent Resources LLC in Nevada to employ and manage our employees, employee staffing among our entities and projects and employment related plans and policies. On November 8, 2021, we formed APLD-JTND Phase II, LLC and on November 15, 2021, we formed APLD-Rattlesnake Den I, LLC and APLD-Rattlesnake Den II, LLC, each of which is a Delaware limited liability company formed to build and operate a co-hosting facility. In the third quarter of the fiscal year ending May 31, 2022, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement to form 1.21 Gigawatts, LLC (“the joint venture entity”), with Antpool Capital Asset Investment, L.P., an affiliate of Bitmain Technologies, bringing together the world’s leading provider of blockchain mining solutions and a leader in next generation datacenters used to host blockchain infrastructure. Applied Blockchain and Antpool intend to leverage their combined resources and expertise to initially build up to 1.5 Gigawatts (GW) of datacenter hosting capacity over the next 24 months. The Company has a majority interest in the joint venture entity and therefore the results of the joint venture entity will be consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. Reverse Stock Split The Company’s board of directors approved a reverse split of shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-six basis , which was effected on April 12, 2022 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). All references to Common Stock, options to purchase common stock, restricted stock units, share data, per share data and related information contained in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented. No fractional shares of the Company’s common stock were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional share resulting from the Reverse Stock Split was rounded down to the nearest whole share and the affected holder received cash in lieu of such fraction share. 6 Table of Contents APPLIED BLOCKCHAIN INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended February 28, 2022 Initial Public Offering On April 13, 2022, the Company announced its initial public offering of 8,000,000 shares of its common stock at $ 5.00 per share. The shares began trading on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on April 13, 2022, under the ticker symbol “APLD.” On April 18, 2022, the Company completed its initial public offering. In addition, the Company granted the underwriters a 30 -day option to purchase up to an additional 1,200,000 shares of common stock at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The net proceeds received by the Company from the offering (after deducting underwriting discounts and commission and estimated offering expenses) were approximately $ 36 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds to lease or purchase additional property on which to build additional co-hosting facilities, to construct those facilities, to enter into additional energy service agreements for each additional site and for funding its working capital and general corporate purposes. 2. LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION As of February 28, 2022, the Company had approximate cash and cash equivalents of $ 12.0 million and negative working capital of $ 4.5 million. Historically the Company has incurred losses and has relied on equity financings to fund its operations. Based on analysis of cash flows, current net working capital, and expected operations revenue, the Company believes its current cash on hand is sufficient to meet its operating and capital requirement for at least next twelve months from the date these financial statements are issued. 3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries. Consolidated subsidiaries results are included from the date the subsidiary was formed or acquired. Noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries in the consolidated financial statements represent non-controlling stockholders' proportionate share of the operations in such subsidiaries. Intercompany investments, balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s consolidated operating subsidiaries include wholly-owned Shanghai Sparkly Ore Technology, Applied Blockchain, Ltd., APLD-JTND Phase II, LLC, APLD-Rattlesnake Den I LLC, APLD-Rattlesnake Den II LLC, APLD Hosting, LLC, Applied Talent Resources LLC, as well the Company’s majority interest in 1.21 Gigawatts, LLC. Use of Estimates The preparation of the 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 balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements include estimates associated with asset valuations, and the valuation allowance associated with the Company’s deferred tax assets. 7 Table of Contents APPLIED BLOCKCHAIN INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended February 28, 2022 Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle: • Step 1: Identify the contract, or contracts, with the customer; • Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract; • Step 3: Determine the transaction price; • Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and • Step 5: Recognize revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. To identify the performance obligations in a contract with a customer, the Company must assess the promised goods or services in the contract and identify each promised good or service that is distinct. A performance obligation meets ASC 606’s definition of a “distinct” good or service (or bundle of goods or services) if both of the following criteria are met: The customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer (i.e., the good or service is capable of being distinct), and the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract (i.e., the promise to transfer the good or service is distinct within the context of the contract). If a good or service is not distinct, the good or service is combined with other promised goods or services until a bundle of goods or services is identified that is distinct. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. When determining the transaction price, an entity must consider the effects of all the following: • Variable consideration; • Constraining estimates of variable consideration; • The existence of a significant financing component in the contract; • Noncash consideration; and • Consideration payable to a customer. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. The transaction price allocated to each performance obligation is recognized when that performance obligation is satisfied, at a point in time or over time as appropriate. 8 Table of Contents APPLIED BLOCKCHAIN INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended February 28, 2022 The following table provides information about the activity of deferred revenue for monthly hosting services: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (in thousands) February 28, 2022 February 28, 2021 February 28, 2022 February 28, 2021 Balance, beginning of the period $ 526 $ — $ — $ — Invoiced hosting revenue 5,544 — 6,070 — Recognized hosting revenue 1,026 — 1,026 — Balance, end of the period $ 3,909 $ — $ 3,909 $ — Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company accounts for financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows: Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 — Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are based on the Company’s market assumptions. Unobservable inputs require significant management judgment or estimation. In some cases, the inputs used to measure an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is required to be classified using the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Such determination requires significant management judgment. As of February 28, 2022 there were no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to operations as incurred, whereas significant repairs are capitalized. Lease Accounting The Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). Accordingly, the Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of the arrangement. If a lease is 9 Table of Contents APPLIED BLOCKCHAIN INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended February 28, 2022 determined to exist, the term of such lease is assessed based on the date on which the underlying asset is made available for the Company’s use by the lessor. The Company’s assessment of the lease term reflects the non-cancelable term of the lease, inclusive of any rent-free periods and/or periods covered by early-termination options which the Company is reasonably certain of not exercising, as well as periods covered by renewal options which the Company is reasonably certain of exercising. The Company also determines lease classification as either operating or finance at lease commencement, which governs the pattern of expense recognition and the presentation reflected in the consolidated statements of operations over the lease term. For leases with a term exceeding 12 months, a lease liability is recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at lease commencement reflecting the present value of its fixed minimum payment obligations over the lease term. A corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) asset equal to the initial lease liability is also recorded, adjusted for any prepaid rent and/or initial direct costs incurred in connection with execution of the lease and reduced by any lease incentives received. For purposes of measuring the present value of its fixed payment obligations for a given lease, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, determined based on information available at lease commencement, as rates implicit in its leasing arrangements are typically not readily determinable. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate reflects the rate it would pay to borrow and incorporates the term and economic environment of the associated lease. For the Company’s operating leases, fixed lease payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, any fixed lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and are not recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as an accounting policy election. Leases qualifying for the short-term lease exception were insignificant. Variable lease costs are recognized as incurred. Income Taxes ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, (“ASC 740”), also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Offering Costs The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A; “Expenses of Offering”. The Company had deferred offering costs of $ 314 thousand as of February 28, 2022 and no deferred offering costs as of May 31, 2021. The deferred offering costs as of February 28, 2022 relate to the Company’s initial public offering, and primarily 10 Table of Contents APPLIED BLOCKCHAIN INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended February 28, 2022 consist of accounting and legal services, and securities registration expenses. These offering costs will be charged to shareholders’ equity at the offering close date. Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequences of the change to its consolidated financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s consolidated financial statements properly reflect the change. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “ Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12” ), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this ASU had no impact on the Company’s financial statements. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) : Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. This update permits the use of either the modified retrospective or fully retrospective method of transition.

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT) Common Stock The Company is authorized to issue 166,666,666 shares of Common Stock at $ .001 par value per share. Note that all shares of Common Stock in this disclosure reflect the one-for-six reverse stock split disclosed in Note 1 - Business and Organization. Equity Compensation On January 18, 2022, the Company issued (i) an aggregate of 600,000 shares of restricted stock, consisting of 100,000 shares to each of its non-employee directors and (ii) an aggregate of 766,666 shares of restricted stock to three executives, in all cases as compensatory grants for services rendered to the Board or the Company. Each of the awards vests upon the completion of service conditions for specified times and a performance condition for the occurrence of an effective registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company will recognize the cost of these RSUs based on the grant date fair value of the awards over the related vesting terms using a straight-line method when it is probable that the performance condition of an effective registration statement will be met. The fair value of these RSUs was estimated to be $ 11.0 million. 17 Table of Contents APPLIED BLOCKCHAIN INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended February 28, 2022 On January 14, 2022, the Company granted an aggregate of 1,791,666 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to three consultants, in all cases as compensatory grants for consulting services rendered to the Company which contain performance conditions that affect vesting. The performance conditions specify that the RSUs are achieved based on specific thresholds of power to become available in the Company’s colocation hosting facility and also upon the occurrence of an effective registration statement with the SEC. The Company will recognize the cost of these RSUs based on the grant date fair value of the awards when it is probable that the performance conditions will be achieved over the related vesting terms, which is expected to result in expense recognition for the years ended May 31, 2022 and May 31, 2023. The fair value of these RSUs was estimated to be $ 14.4 million. The fair value of the shares of common stock underlying equity compensation has been determined by using a third-party valuation specialist to assist management in its determination. Management determines the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock by considering a number of objective and subjective factors including: the valuation of comparable companies, sales of redeemable convertible preferred stock to unrelated third parties, the Company’s operating and financial performance, and general and industry specific economic outlook, amongst other factors. The Company estimated the fair value of the Common Stock at issuance date using a Probability Weighted Expected Return Method (“PWERM”). The PWERM estimated the fair value assuming two possible outcomes, for which each discrete outcome is probability weighted to arrive at a weighted-average value. The Company weighted two different scenarios as follow: Scenario Scenario Weight Public Company scenario (“listing scenario”) through a traditional IPO 95 % Remain a private Company scenario (“private scenario”) 5 % As the performance condition of an effective registration statement has not been met as of February 28, 2022, no expense has been recognized for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022.

The two plans consist of the 2022 Incentive Plan, previously referred to in our SEC filings as the 2021 Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), which provides for grants of various equity awards to our employees and consultants, and the 2022 Non-Employee Director Stock Plan previously referred to in our SEC filings as the 2022 Incentive Plan (the “Director Plan” and, together with the Incentive Plan, the “Plans”), which provides for grants of restricted stock to non-employee directors and for deferral of cash and stock compensation if such deferral provisions are activated at a future date. As of February 28, 2022, no awards had been granted under either plan. 19 Table of Contents APPLIED BLOCKCHAIN INC.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Parties are considered related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and 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. The Company discloses all related party transactions. 21 Table of Contents APPLIED BLOCKCHAIN INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended February 28, 2022 In March 2021, the Company executed a strategy planning and portfolio advisory services agreement with an entity that is controlled by a board member of the Company. Compensation for the services provided will be through issuance of 19.0 million shares of Company’ fully diluted and outstanding Common Stock.

There are also no legal proceedings in which any of the Company’s management or affiliates is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest. 13. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic net income (loss) per share (“EPS”) of Common Stock is computed by dividing the Company’s net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if the securities or other contracts to issue Common Stock were exercised or converted into Common Stock or resulted in the issuance of Common Stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Refer to Footnote 9 for details on outstanding classes of preferred shares. The table below shows the calculation for this quarter’s earnings per share: Basic and diluted income (loss) per share: Quarterly Period Ended February 28, 2022 February 28, 2021 Net Income (loss) from continuing Operations $ ( 2,397 ) $ ( 77 ) Net Income (loss) from discontinued Operations $ ( 4,048 ) $ — Net Income (loss) attributable to Applied Blockchain $ ( 6,445 ) $ ( 77 ) Continuing Operations $ ( 0.04 ) $ ( 0.05 ) Discontinued Operations $ ( 0.08 ) $ — Basic and diluted net loss per share $ ( 0.12 ) $ ( 0.05 ) Basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding 53,396,920 1,511,061 22 Table of Contents APPLIED BLOCKCHAIN INC.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS During February 2022, the Company implemented plans to cease all cryptomining operations and start the sale process of all cryptomining equipment. The assets to be sold are reflective of the entire mining reportable segment. Therefore, the mining operations represent a component of the entity, and meet all the criteria for held-for-sale classification under ASC 205. Further, the Company’s plan represents a strategic shift, as the Company plans to generate the majority of future revenue through hosting operations. Therefore, the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the mining operation have been presented as discontinued operations and the related assets have been classified as held-for-sale. Operating results of discontinued operations are summarized below: Three Months Ended February 28, 2022 February 28, 2021 Cryptoasset Mining Revenue 916 — Mining Revenue Pool Fees 9 — Cryptoasset Mining Revenue, Net 907 — Cost of Sales 628 — Gross Profit 279 — Impairment of Cryptocurrency Assets ( 226 ) — Gain/Loss on Sale of Fixed Assets ( 847 ) — Gain/Loss on Assets Reclass to Discontinued Operations ( 3,254 ) — Net Loss from Discontinued Operations ( 4,048 ) — 23 Table of Contents APPLIED BLOCKCHAIN INC.

As the Company completed the sale of the assets shortly after the quarter ended February 28, 2022, the Company has used the sale price and actual costs to sale to determine actual carrying value of the assets held for sale. The remaining assets are comprised of GPUs for cryptomining. Current assets related to discontinued operations are summarized below ASSETS February 28, 2022 May 31, 2021 Current assets of discontinued operations 3,573 — Crypto Assets The Company recognizes revenue at the spot price of the cryptoasset when mined. The Company then tracks any gain or loss from the time the cryptoasset was mined to the time when it was ultimately sold or converted. The sale or conversion generally results in a realized gain or loss at the time of sale or conversion. The sale or conversion of cryptoassets results in the receipt of cash consideration. As of February 28, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not hold any cryptoassets. For the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022, the Company recorded impairment expense of $ 226 thousand and $ 390 thousand respectively.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended February 28, 2022 Additional Cryptomining Accounting Policies Cryptoassets Cryptoassets are included in current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Cryptoassets are classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, and are accounted for in connection with the Company’s revenue recognition policy detailed above and in Footnote 5. Management will evaluate market conditions on a quarterly basis. When events or circumstance identified through this process indicate that cryptoassets may be impaired, they are tested for impairment. Impairment, if any, is recognized for the difference between the fair value of the underlying cryptoasset and the carrying amount of the cryptoasset. Fair value is measured using the quoted price of the cryptoasset at the time its fair value is being measured. Cryptoassets awarded to the Company through its mining activities are included within the operating activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. Gains from the sales of cryptoassets are recorded in other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company accounts for its gains in accordance with the first in, first out (“FIFO”) method of accounting. Cryptoasset mining revenue The Company has entered into cryptoasset mining pools by executing contracts with the mining pool operators to provide computing power to the mining pool. The contracts are terminable at any time by either party and the Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when the Company provides computing power to the mining pool operator. In exchange for providing computing power, the Company is entitled to a theoretical fractional share of the cryptoasset award the mining pool operator receives (less service fees to the mining pool operator which are recorded as a reduction of revenue) for successfully adding a block to the blockchain. The Company’s fractional share is based on the proportion of computing power the Company contributed to the mining pool operator to the total computing power contributed by all mining pool participants in solving the current algorithm. Providing computing power in cryptoasset transaction verification services is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The provision of providing such computing power is the only performance obligation in the Company’s contracts with mining pool operators and is satisfied over the time it takes to mine each block. The transaction consideration the Company receives, if any, is noncash consideration, which the Company receives on a daily basis and measures at fair value on the date received using the average price of the cryptoasset during the date, which is not materially different than the fair value at contract inception or the time the Company has earned the award from the pools. The consideration is all variable. Because validation awards are not known until a block is placed, the consideration is constrained until the mining pool operator successfully places a block (by being the first to solve an algorithm) and the Company receives confirmation of the consideration it will receive, at which time revenue is recognized. It is not probable that a significant reversal of revenue will occur. Fair value of the cryptoasset award received is determined using the quoted price on the Company’s primary exchange of the related cryptoasset. 15.
