2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Liquidity
The accompanying unaudited interim financial
statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements
and notes thereto contained in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2020,
filed with the SEC on December 17, 2020 (“Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim
period presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim period
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially
duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal period, as reported in the Form
10-K, have been omitted.
The Company has incurred losses for the past
several years while it develops its infrastructure and its software platforms. As shown in the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements, the Company incurred net losses of $ 7,167,530
during the three months ended December 31, 2020. In response to these conditions, and to ensure the Company has sufficient
capital for ongoing operations for a minimum of 12 months we
have raised additional capital through the sale of equity securities pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3.
(See Note 12 for additional details.) As of December 31, 2020, the Company had working capital of $ 28,711,558 .
Principles
of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of CleanSpark, Inc., and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, CleanSpark, LLC, CleanSpark, II, LLC, CleanSpark
Critical Power Systems Inc., p2kLabs, Inc, GridFabric, LLC, and ATL Data Centers LLC. All material intercompany transactions have
been eliminated upon consolidation of these entities.
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates used to review the
Company’s goodwill impairment, intangible assets acquired, impairments and estimations of long-lived assets, revenue recognition
on percentage of completion type contracts,
F- 6
Table of Contents
allowances for
uncollectible accounts, and the valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances. The
Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that
are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions
including, but not limited to, the ultimate impact that COVID-19 may have on the Company’s operations.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize
revenue in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as outlined in the Financial Accounting Standard Board's (“FASB”)
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue From Contracts with Customers, which requires that five steps
be followed in evaluating revenue recognition: (i) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identity the performance obligations
in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price; and (v) recognize revenue when or
as the entity satisfied a performance obligation.
We did not have a cumulative impact
as of October 1, 2019 due to the adoption of Topic 606.
Our accounting policy on revenue recognition by type of revenue
is provided below.
Engineering, Service & Installation
or Construction Contracts
The Company recognizes engineering
and construction contract revenue over time, as performance obligations are satisfied, due to the continuous transfer of control
to the customer. Engineering and construction contracts are generally accounted for as a single unit of account (a single performance
obligation) and are not segmented between types of services. The Company recognizes revenue based primarily on contract cost incurred
to date compared to total estimated contract cost (an input method). The input method is the most faithful depiction of the Company’s
performance because it directly measures the value of the services transferred to the customer. Customer-furnished materials, labor,
and equipment and, in certain cases, subcontractor materials, labor, and equipment are included in revenue and cost of revenue
when management believes that the Company is acting as a principal rather than as an agent (i.e., the Company integrates the materials,
labor and equipment into the deliverables promised to the customer). Customer-furnished materials are only included in revenue
and cost when the contract includes construction activity and the Company has visibility into the amount the customer is paying
for the materials or there is a reasonable basis for estimating the amount. The Company recognizes revenue, but not profit, on
certain uninstalled materials that are not specifically produced, fabricated, or constructed for a project. Revenue on these uninstalled
materials is recognized when the cost is incurred (when control is transferred). Changes to total estimated contract cost or losses,
if any, are recognized in the period in which they are determined as assessed at the contract level. Pre-contract costs are expensed
as incurred unless they are expected to be recovered from the client. Project mobilization costs are generally charged to project
costs as incurred when they are an integrated part of the performance obligation being transferred to the client. Customer payments
on engineering and construction contracts are typically due within 30 to 45 days of billing, depending on the contract.
For service contracts (including maintenance
contracts) in which the Company has the right to consideration from the customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the
value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date, revenue is recognized when services are performed and
contractually billable. Service contracts that include multiple performance obligations are segmented between types of services.
For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation
using an estimate of the stand-alone selling price of each distinct service in the contract. Revenue recognized on service contracts
that have not been billed to clients is classified as a current asset under contract assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized on service contracts to date are classified as a current liability under
contract liabilities. Customer payments on service contracts are typically due within 30 days of billing, depending on the contract.
Revenues from Sale of Equipment
Performance Obligations Satisfied
at a point in time.
F- 7
Table of Contents
We recognize revenue on agreements
for non-customized equipment we sell on a standardized basis to the market at a point in time. We recognize revenue at the point
in time that the customer obtains control of the good, which is generally upon shipment or when the customer has physical possession
of the product depending on contract terms. We use proof of delivery for certain large equipment with more complex logistics, whereas
the delivery of other equipment is estimated based on historical averages of in-transit periods (i.e., time between shipment and
delivery). Generally, shipping costs are included in the price of equipment unless the customer requests a non-standard shipment.
In situations where an alternative shipment arrangement has been made, the Company recognizes the shipping revenue upon customer
receipt of the shipment.
In situations where arrangements include
customer acceptance provisions based on seller or customer-specified objective criteria, we recognize revenue when we have concluded
that the customer has control of the goods and that acceptance is likely to occur. We generally do not provide for anticipated
losses on point in time transactions prior to transferring control of the equipment to the customer.
Our billing terms for these point in
time equipment contracts vary and generally coincide with shipment to the customer; however, within certain businesses, we receive
progress payments from customers for large equipment purchases, which is generally to reserve production slots with our manufacturing
partners, which are recorded as contract liabilities.
Due to the customized nature of the
equipment, the Company does not allow for customer returns.
Service Performance obligations
satisfied over time.
We enter into long-term product service
agreements with our customers primarily within our microgrid segment. These agreements require us to provide preventative maintenance,
and standby support services that include certain levels of assurance regarding system performance throughout the contract periods;
these contracts will generally range from 1 to 10 years. We account for items that are integral to the maintenance of the equipment
as part of our service-related performance obligation, unless the customer has a substantive right to make a separate purchasing
decision (e.g., equipment upgrade). Contract modifications that extend or revise contract terms are not uncommon and generally
result in our recognizing the impact of the revised terms prospectively over the remaining life of the modified contract (i.e.,
effectively like a new contract). Revenues are recognized for these arrangements on a straight-line basis consistent with the nature,
timing and extent of our services, which primarily relate to routine maintenance and as needed product repairs. Our billing terms
for these contracts vary, but we generally invoice periodically as services are provided.
Contract assets represent revenue recognized
in excess of amounts billed and include unbilled receivables (typically for cost reimbursable contracts) of $ 0 and contract work
in progress (typically for fixed-price contracts) of $ 906 and $ 4,103 as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively.
Unbilled receivables, which represent an unconditional right to payment subject only to the passage of time, are reclassified to
accounts receivable when they are billed under the terms of the contract. Advances that are payments on account of contract assets
of $ 0 and $ 0 as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively, have been deducted from contract assets. Contract
liabilities represent amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized to date. The Company recorded $ 63,603 and $ 64,108
in contract liabilities as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively.
Revenues
from software
The Company derives its software revenue
from both subscription fees from customers for access to its (i) energy software offerings and software license sales and (ii)
support services. Revenues from software licenses are generally recognized upfront when the software is made available to the customer,
and revenues from the related support is generally recognized ratably over the contract term. The Company’s policy is to
exclude sales and other indirect taxes when measuring the transaction price of its subscription agreements.
The Company’s subscription agreements
generally have monthly or annual contractual terms. Revenue is recognized ratably over the related contractual term beginning on
the date that the platform is made available to a customer. Access to the platform represents a series of distinct services as
the Company continually provides access to, and fulfills its obligation to the end customer over the subscription term. The series
of distinct services represents a single performance obligation that is satisfied over time.

Table of Contents
Revenues from design, software
development and other technology-based consulting services
For service contracts performed under
Master Services Agreements (“MSA”) and accompanying Statement(s) of Work (“SOW”), revenue is recognized
based on the performance obligation(s) outlined in the SOW which is typically hours worked or specific deliverable milestones.
In the case of a milestone-based SOW, the Company recognizes revenue as each deliverable is signed off by the customer.
Revenues from data center services
The Company provides data services
such as providing its customers with rack space, power and equipment, and cloud services such as virtual services, virtual storage,
and data backup services, generally based on monthly services provided at a defined price included in the contracts. The performance
obligations are the services provided to a customer for the month based on the contract. The transaction price is the price agreed
with the customer for the monthly services provided and the revenues are recognized monthly based on the services rendered for
the month.
Revenues from digital currency
mining
The Company has entered into a digital asset
mining pool to provide computing power to the mining pool. Providing computing power is the only performance obligation in
the Company’s contracts with pool operators. When the Company 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. The
transaction consideration the Company receives is noncash consideration, which the Company measures at fair value on the date received.
The consideration is dependent on the number of digital assets mined on any given day. digital Fair value of the digital currency
award received is determined using the spot price of the related digital currency at the time of receipt.
There is currently no specific definitive
guidance under GAAP or alternative accounting framework for the accounting for digital currencies recognized as revenue or held,
and management has exercised significant judgment in determining the appropriate accounting treatment. In the event authoritative
guidance is enacted by the FASB, the Company may be required to change its policies, which could have an effect on the Company’s
consolidated financial position and results from operations.
Variable Consideration
The nature of the Company’s contracts
gives rise to several types of variable consideration, including claims and unpriced change orders, awards and incentive fees,
and liquidated damages and penalties. The Company recognizes revenue for variable consideration when it is probable that a significant
reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. The Company estimates the amount of revenue to be recognized
on variable consideration using the expected value (i.e., the sum of a probability-weighted amount) or the most likely amount method,
whichever is expected to better predict the amount. Factors considered in determining whether revenue associated with claims (including
change orders in dispute and unapproved change orders in regard to both scope and price) should be recognized include the following:
(a) the contract or other evidence provides a legal basis for the claim, (b) additional costs were caused by circumstances that
were unforeseen at the contract date and not the result of deficiencies in the Company’s performance, (c) claim-related costs
are identifiable and considered reasonable in view of the work performed, and (d) evidence supporting the claim is objective and
verifiable. If the requirements for recognizing revenue for claims or unapproved change orders are met, revenue is recorded only
when the costs associated with the claims or unapproved change orders have been incurred. Back charges to suppliers or subcontractors
are recognized as a reduction of cost when it is determined that recovery of such cost is probable, and the amounts can be reliably
estimated. Disputed back charges are recognized when the same requirements described above for claims accounting have been satisfied.
The C ompany
generally provides limited warranties for work performed under its engineering and construction contracts. The warranty periods
typically extend for a limited duration following substantial completion of the Company’s work on a project. Historically,
warranty claims have not resulted in material costs incurred.

Practical Expedients
If the Company has a right to consideration
from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of the Company’s performance completed to date (a service
contract in which the Company bills a fixed amount for each hour of service provided), the Company recognizes revenue in the amount
to which it has a right to invoice for services performed.
The Company does not adjust the contract price
for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when
the Company transfers a service to a customer and when the customer pays for that service will be one year or less.
The Company has made an accounting policy election
to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are collected by the
Company from its customers (use taxes, value added taxes, some excise taxes).
For the three months ended December 31, 2020
and 2019, the Company reported revenues of $ 2,257,570
and $ 976,824 , respectively.
Cash and cash equivalents
For
purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments and short-term debt
instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There was $ 25,631,913 and $ 3,126,202 in cash
and no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively.
Digital Currency
Digital currencies are included in current
assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Digital currencies are recorded at cost less impairment. Digital currencies held are
accounted for as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized
but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more
likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value,
which is measured using the quoted price of the digital currency at the time its fair value is being measured. In testing for impairment,
the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment
exists. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not
necessary. If the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. To the extent an impairment
loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted.
Digital currencies awarded to the Company
through its mining activities are included within operating activities on the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.
The sales of digital currencies are included within investing activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows
and any realized gains or losses from such sales are included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company accounts for its gains or losses in accordance with the first in first out (FIFO) method of accounting.
The following table presents the activities
of the digital currencies for the three months ended December 31, 2020:

Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable is comprised of
uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluation of its customers
and management closely monitors outstanding receivables based on
F- 10
Table of Contents
factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical
trends, and other information. The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reviewed periodically for collectability. If management
determines that collection is unlikely, an allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not
be collected is recorded. Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $ 42,970 and $ 42,970 at
December 31, 2020, and September 30, 2020, respectively.
Retention receivable is the amount withheld
by a customer until a contract is completed. Retention receivables of $ 0 and $ 615 were included in the balance of trade accounts
receivable as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively.
Investment securities
Investment
securities include debt securities and equity securities. Debt securities are classified as available for sale (“AFS”)
and are reported as an asset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their estimated fair value. As the fair values of AFS debt securities
change, the changes are reported net of income tax as an element of OCI, except for other-than-temporarily-impaired securities.
When AFS debt securities are sold, the unrealized gains or losses are reclassified from OCI to non-interest income. Securities
classified as AFS are securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity.
Any decision to sell a security classified as AFS would be based on various factors, including significant movements in interest
rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Company’s assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, decline in credit quality, and
regulatory capital considerations.
Interest income is recognized based
on the coupon rate and increased by accretion of discounts earned or decreased by the amortization of premiums paid over the contractual
life of the security.
For individual debt securities where
the Company either intends to sell the security or more likely than not will not recover all of its amortized cost, the OTTI is
recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the security's cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet
date. For individual debt securities for which a credit loss has been recognized in earnings, interest accruals and amortization
and accretion of premiums and discounts are suspended when the credit loss is recognized. Interest received after accruals have
been suspended is recognized in income on a cash basis.
The Company holds investments in
both publicly held and privately held equity securities. However, as described in Note 1, the Company primarily operates in the
alternative energy sector and in the digital currency mining sector, and thus, it is not in the business of investing in securities.
Privately held equity securities are
recorded at cost and adjusted for observable transactions for same or similar investments of the issuer (referred to as the measurement
alternative) or impairment. All gains and losses on privately held equity securities, realized or unrealized, are recorded through
gains or losses on equity securities on the consolidated statement of operations.
Publicly held equity securities are
based on fair value accounting with unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected as unrealized gains
or losses on equity securities in our consolidated statements of operations.
Concentration Risk
At times throughout the year, the Company may
maintain cash balances in certain bank accounts in excess of FDIC limits. As of December 31, 2020, the cash balance in excess of
the FDIC limits was $ 25,379,232 . The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to
any significant credit risk in these accounts. The Company had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or
more of the Company’s total revenue. (See Note 16 for details.)
Warranty Liability
The Company establishes warranty liability reserves to provide
for estimated future expenses as a result of installation and product defects, product recalls, and litigation incidental to the
Company’s business. Liability estimates are determined based on management’s judgment, considering such factors as
historical experience, the likely current cost of corrective action, manufacturers’ and subcontractors’ participation
in sharing the cost of corrective action, consultations with third party experts such as engineers, and discussions with the Company’s
general counsel and outside counsel retained to handle specific product liability cases. The Company’s manufacturers and service providers currently provide substantial warranties between ten to twenty-five
years with full reimbursement to replace and install replacement parts. Warranty costs and associated liabilities were $ 0 and $ 0
at December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively.

Stock-based compensation
The
Company follows the guidelines in FASB Codification Topic ASC 718-10 “Compensation-Stock Compensation,” which requires
companies to measure the cost of employee and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument based
on the grant-date fair value of the award. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite
service period. The Company may issue compensatory shares for services including, but not limited to, executive, management, accounting,
operations, corporate communication, financial and administrative consulting services.
Earnings (loss) per share
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share
in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
260-10 “Earnings Per Share,” which provides for calculation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings
per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders
by the weighted average common shares outstanding the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities
that could share in the earnings of an entity. The calculation of diluted net loss per share gives effect to common stock equivalents;
however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2020, there are 1,562,092 shares
issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants which have been excluded as anti-dilutive.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at
cost. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:
Useful life
Machinery and equipment
3 - 5 years
Mining equipment
3 years
Leasehold improvements
Shorter of estimated lease term or 5 years
Furniture and fixtures
3 - 5 years
Long-lived Assets
In accordance with the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") Accounts Standard Codification (ASC) ASC 360-10, "Property, Plant and Equipment,"
the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or
circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash
flow is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount
of the asset over its estimated fair value. For the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not record an
impairment expense.
Intangible Assets and Goodwill
The Company accounts for business combinations
under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” where the total purchase
price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair
values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition
date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed, and revisions to preliminary
estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities
assumed is recognized as goodwill.
The Company reviews its indefinite
lived intangibles and goodwill for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In accordance with its policies, the Company performed an assessment
of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill and determined there was no impairment for the three months ended December 31, 2020
and 2019.

Software Development Costs
The Company capitalizes software development
costs under guidance of ASC 985-20 “Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed” for our mPulse platform and under
ASC 350-40 “Internal Use Software” for our mVSO, Canvas & Plaid products. Software development costs include payments
made to independent software developers under development agreements, as well as direct costs incurred for internally developed
products. Software development costs are capitalized once the technological feasibility of a product is established and such costs
are determined to be recoverable. Technological feasibility of a product requires both technical design documentation and infrastructure
design documentation, or the completed and tested product design and a working model. Significant management judgments and estimates
are utilized in the assessment of when technological feasibility is established, and the evaluation is performed on a product-by-product
basis. For products where proven technology exists, this may occur early in the development cycle. Prior to a product's release,
if and when we believe capitalized costs are not recoverable, we expense
the amounts as part of "Product development." Capitalized costs for products that are cancelled or are expected to be
abandoned are charged to "Product development" in the period of cancellation. Amounts related to software development,
such as product enhancements to existing features, which are not capitalized are charged immediately to "Product development."
Commencing upon a product's release,
capitalized software development costs are amortized to "Cost of revenues—software amortization" based on the
ratio of current revenues to total projected revenues for the specific product, generally resulting in an amortization period of
seven years for our current product offerings. In recognition of the uncertainties involved in estimating future revenue, amortization
will never be less than straight-line amortization of the products remaining estimated economic life.
We evaluate the future recoverability
of capitalized software development costs on a quarterly basis. For products that have been released in prior periods, the primary
evaluation criterion is the actual performance of the software platform to which the costs relate. For products that are scheduled
to be released in future periods, recoverability is evaluated based on the expected performance of the specific products to which
the costs relate. Criteria used to evaluate expected product performance include: historical performance of comparable products
developed with comparable technology, market performance of comparable software, orders for the product prior to its release, pending
contracts, and general market conditions.
Significant management judgments and
estimates are utilized in assessing the recoverability of capitalized costs. In evaluating the recoverability of capitalized costs,
the assessment of expected product performance utilizes forecasted sales amounts and estimates of additional costs to be incurred.
If revised forecasted or actual product sales are less than the originally forecasted amounts utilized in the initial recoverability
analysis, the net realizable value may be lower than originally estimated in any given quarter, which could result in an impairment
charge. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of expenses for any period if matters resolve in a manner that
is inconsistent with management's expectations. If an impairment occurs, the reduced amount of the capitalized software costs that
have been written down to the net realizable value at the close of each annual fiscal period will be considered the cost for subsequent
accounting purposes.
Fair value of financial instruments and
derivative asset
The carrying value of cash, accounts
payable and accrued expenses, and debt (See Notes 8 and 9) approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of
these instruments. Management believes the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these
financial instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term debt is also stated at fair value of $ 531,169
since the stated rate of interest approximates market rates.
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 on the measurement date. Valuation techniques
used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes
a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.
F- 13
Table of Contents
•
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.
•
Level 2 Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices included for identical or similar assets and liabilities that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. These are typically obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.
•
Level 3 Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own beliefs about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The following table presents the Company’s
financial instruments that are measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s balance sheets on a recurring basis,
and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively:

Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified
for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations
or net assets of the Company.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components
of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision
maker, or decision-making group, in deciding the method to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company currently has
three reportable segments for financial reporting purposes.
Recently
issued accounting pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15,
"Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs
Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract," which allows for the capitalization of certain implementation
costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. ASU 2018-15 allows for either retrospective adoption or prospective
adoption to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2019. The new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash
flows.
F- 14
Table of Contents
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU
2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value
Measurement. The purpose of the standard is to improve the overall usefulness of fair value disclosures to financial statement
users and reduce unnecessary costs to companies when preparing the disclosures. ASU 2018-13 is effective for for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2019 and requires the application of the prospective method of transition (for only the most recent interim
or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption) to the new disclosure requirements for (1) changes in unrealized
gains and losses included in other comprehensive income and (2) the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable
inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 also requires prospective application to any modifications to disclosures
made because of the change to the requirements for the narrative description of measurement uncertainty. The effects of all other
amendments made by ASU 2018-13 must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The new standard did not have a material
impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.
In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance
within ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. The amendments in ASU 2017-04 simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill
by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2019. The new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash
flows.
In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance within ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The amendments in
ASU 2016-13 require assets measured at amortized cost and establishes an allowance of credit losses for available for sale debt
securities. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact
the adoption of this new standard will have on our financial position and results of operations.
The Company has evaluated all other
recent accounting pronouncements and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Company's financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
3. ACQUISITIONS
ATL DATA CENTERS, LLC
On December 9, 2020, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan
of Merger (the “Merger”) with ATL Data Centers LLC (“ATL”) and its members.
At the closing, ATL became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
In exchange, the Company issued 1,618,285 shares
of restricted common stock based on the
average closing price of the Company’s common stock (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) for the five trading days including and
immediately preceding the closing date of $ 11.988 per share, to the selling members of ATL, of which: (i) 642,309 shares were fully
earned on closing, and (ii) an additional 975,976 shares issued to escrow and subject to holdback pending satisfaction of certain
future milestones, with all such shares subject to a lock up of no less than 180 days and a leak out of no more than 10% of the
average daily trading value of the prior 30 days.
The consideration remitted in connection with the Merger is subject
to adjustment based on post-closing adjustments to closing cash, indebtedness, and transaction expenses of ATL within 90 days of
closing. The Company also assumed approximately $6.9 million in debts of ATL at closing. As part of the transaction costs, the
Company issued 41,708 shares of common stock for an aggregate value of $ 545,916 to the broker.
The Company accounted for the acquisition of ATL as an
acquisition of a business under ASC 805.
The Company determined the fair value of the consideration
given to the selling members of ATL in connection with the transaction in accordance with ASC 820 was as follows:
Consideration:

P2K LABS, INC
On January 31, 2020, the Company, entered into
an Agreement with p2k, and its sole stockholder, Amer Tadayon, whereby the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding
shares of p2k in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of cash and equity of $ 1,688,935 . The transaction closed simultaneously
upon the execution of the Agreement by the parties on January 31, 2020.
As a result of the transaction, p2k is now
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the
purchase price was as follows:
a)
$ 1,039,500 in cash was paid to the Seller;
b)
31,183 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $ 145,000 , were issued to the Seller (the “Shares”). The Shares are subject to certain lock-up and leak-out provisions whereby the Seller may sell an amount of Shares equal to ten percent (10%) of the daily dollar trading volume of the Company’s common stock on its principal market for the prior 30 days (the “Leak-Out Terms”);
c)
$ 115,500 in cash was paid to an independent third-party escrow where such cash is subject to offset for adjustments to the purchase price and indemnification purposes; and
F- 16
Table of Contents
d)
64,516
restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $ 300,000 , were issued to an independent third-party escrow (the
“Holdback Shares”). The Holdback Shares will be released to Seller once p2k achieves certain revenue milestones for
the future performance of p2k. The
Holdback Shares will also be subject to the Leak-Out Terms once they are released from escrow 12 months from closing.
The Shares and Holdback Shares were deemed to have a fair market
value of $ 4.65 per share which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on January 31, 2020.
e)
26,950 common stock options which were deemed to have a fair market value of $ 88,935 on the date of the closing of the Transaction.
The Company accounted for the acquisition of p2k as an
acquisition of a business under ASC 805.
The Company determined the fair value of the consideration
given to the Seller in connection with the Transaction in accordance with ASC 820 was as follows:

Promissory Notes
On May 7, 2020, the Company applied for a
loan from Celtic Bank Corporation, as lender, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) as administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the
"SBA"). On May 15, 2020, the loan was approved and the Company received the proceeds from the loan in the amount of $ 531,169
(the “PPP Loan”). The PPP Loan, which took the form of a promissory note issued by the Company (the “PPP
Note”) matures on May
7, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1.0 %
per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments, less the amount of any potential forgiveness (discussed below), will commence on June 7, 2021.
The PPP Note provides for customary events
of default, including, among others, those relating to failure to make payments thereunder. The Company may prepay the principal
of the PPP Loan at any time without incurring any prepayment penalties. The PPP Loan is non-recourse against any individual shareholder,
except to the extent that such party uses the loan proceeds for an unauthorized purpose. All or a portion of the PPP Loan may
be forgiven by the SBA and lender upon application by the Company beginning 8 weeks after loan approval and upon documentation
of expenditures in accordance with the SBA requirements. Under
the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is available for the sum of documented payroll costs, covered rent payments, and covered utilities
during the eight-week period beginning on the date of loan approval. For purposes of the CARES Act, payroll costs exclude compensation
of an individual employee in excess of $100,000, prorated annually. Not more than 25% of the forgiven amount may be for non-payroll
costs. Forgiveness is reduced if full-time headcount declines, or if salaries and wages for employees with salaries of $100,000
or less annually are reduced by more than 25%. In the event the PPP Loan, or any portion thereof, is forgiven pursuant
to the CARES Act, the amount forgiven is applied to outstanding principal.
Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act
of 2020 (the “PPP Flexibility Act”), enacted on June 5, 2020, amended the Paycheck Protection Program, among others,
as follows: (i) extended the covered period from 8 weeks to 24 weeks from the date the PPP Loan is originated, during which PPP
funds needed to be expended in order to be forgiven. A borrower may submit a loan forgiveness application any time on or before
the maturity date of the loan – including before the end of the covered period – if the borrower has used all of the
loan proceeds for which the borrower is requesting forgiveness, (ii) at least 60% of PPP funds must be spent on payroll costs,
with the remaining 40% available to spend on other eligible expenses, (iii) payments are deferred until the date on which the
amount of forgiveness determined is remitted to the lender. If a borrower fails to seek forgiveness within 10 months after the
last day of its covered period, then payments will begin on the date that is 10 months after the last day of the covered period.
In addition, the PPP Flexibility Act modified the CARES Act by increasing the maturity date for loans made after the effective
date from two years, to a minimum maturity of five years from the date on which the borrower applies for loan forgiveness. Existing
PPP loans made before the new legislation retain their original two-year term, but may be renegotiated between a lender and a
borrower to match the 5-year term permitted under the PPP Flexibility Act.
Company intends to apply for loan forgiveness
within the required timeframe. No assurance is provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan in whole or in
part.
The Company recorded
interest expense of $ 3,987 and $ 0 for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
Short-Term convertible notes
Securities
Purchase Agreement – December 31, 2018
On December 31, 2018, the Company
entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with an otherwise unaffiliated third-party institutional
investor (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company issued to the Investor a Senior Secured Redeemable
Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”) in the aggregate face value of $ 5,250,000 .
The note was secured by all assets of the Company. The Debenture has a maturity date of two
years from the issuance date and the Company agreed to pay compounded interest on the unpaid principal
balance of the Debenture at the rate equal to 7.5 % per
annum. Interest is payable on the date the applicable principal is converted or on maturity. The interest must be paid in
cash and, in certain circumstances, may be paid in shares of common stock.
The transactions described above closed
on December 31, 2018. In connection with the issuance of the Debenture and pursuant to the terms of the SPA, the Company issued
to the Investor 10,000 shares of common stock and a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to acquire up to 308,333 shares of common stock
for a term of three years (the “Warrant”) on a cash-only basis at an exercise price of $ 20.00 per share with respect
to 125,000 Warrant Shares, $ 25.00 with respect to 100,000 Warrant Shares, $ 50.00 with respect to 50,000 Warrant Shares and $ 75.00
with respect to 33,333 Warrant Shares. The warrants and shares issued were fair valued and a debt discount of $ 4,995,000 was recorded
as a result of the issuance of the warrants and shares and the recognition of a beneficial conversion feature on the Debenture.
The Company also paid a $ 5,000 due diligence fee prior to receiving the funding which was also recorded as a debt discount.
Pursuant to the terms of the SPA, the
Investor agreed to tender to the Company the sum of $ 5,000,000 , of which the Company received the full amount as of the closing.
Prior to the maturity date, provided
that no trigger event has occurred, the Company will have the right at any time upon 30 trading days’ prior written notice,
in its sole and absolute discretion, to redeem all or any portion of the Debenture then outstanding by paying to the Investor an
amount equal to 140% of the of the portion of the Debenture being redeemed .
The Investor may convert the Debenture
into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 95% of the mathematical average of the 5 lowest
individual daily volume weighted average prices of the common stock, less $0.50 per share, during the period beginning on the issuance
date and ending on the maturity date subject to certain floor price restrictions. In the event certain equity conditions exist,
the Company may require that the Investor convert the Debenture. In no event shall the Debenture be allowed to affect a conversion
if such conversion, along with all other shares of Company common stock beneficially owned by the Investor and its affiliates would
exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company.
While the Debenture is outstanding,
if triggering events occur, the conversion rate may be decreased by 10% and the interest rate increased by 10% for each triggering
event which may result in the issuance of additional shares.
On March 4, March 13, and May 1, 2020
the Company entered into amendments (the “Amendments”) with the Investor.
The Amendments amended the SPA and
Debenture, as follows:
1) A Floor Price of $ 1.50 per share of Common Stock was placed on conversions
by the Investor under the Debenture, with the Floor Price on the First Debenture not applying in the occurrence of an event of
default;
2) Lowered the closing price of the Common Stock which may trigger an
event of default from $ 5.00 per share to $ 1.75 per share for 5 consecutive trading days provided that any event of default will
not be triggered, if at all, until after September 29, 2020;
3) Deleted the requirement that the Investor convert the Debenture at
maturity and;
4) Allowed the Company, to not reserve or issue to the Investor more
shares of Common Stock than were reserved for the Investor prior to the amendment date until September 29, 2020.

for the Note, the Common Stock and the Warrant. No additional closings to sell the preferred stock have occurred and the
Series B preferred stock was removed under the amendments to the Agreement discussed below.

the Note at the rate equal 7.5 %
per annum. Interest is payable on the date the applicable principal is converted or on maturity. The interest must be paid in
cash and, in certain circumstances, may be paid in shares of common stock.
Prior to the maturity date, provided
that no trigger event has occurred, the Company will have the right at any time upon 30 trading days’ prior written notice,
in its sole and absolute discretion, to redeem all or any portion of the Note then outstanding by paying to the Investor an
amount equal to 145% of the of the portion of the Note being redeemed.

date and ending on the maturity date subject to certain floor price restrictions. In the event certain equity conditions exist,
the Company may require that the Investor convert the Note. In no event shall the Note be allowed to effect a conversion
if such conversion, along with all other shares of Company common stock beneficially owned by the Investor and its affiliates would
exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company.
While the Note is outstanding if triggering
events occur the conversion rate may be decreased by 10% and the interest rate increased by 10% for each triggering event which
may result in the issuance of additional shares.
On March 4, March 13, and May 1, 2020
the Company entered into amendments (the “Amendments”) with the Investor.

follows:
1) A Floor Price of $ 1.50 per share of Common Stock was placed on conversions

2) Lowered the closing price of the Common Stock which may trigger an
event of default from $ 5.00 per share to $ 1.75 per share for 5 consecutive trading days provided that any event of default will
not be triggered, if at all, until after September 29, 2020;
3) Deleted the requirement that the Investor convert the Note at maturity;
4) Allowed the Company, to not reserve or issue to the Investor more shares of Common Stock than
were reserved for the Investor prior to the amendment date until September 29, 2020; and
5) The Company and the Investor also agreed to remove
the Second Closing and Company Option to sell an aggregate of an additional $10,000,000 in securities under the Note. As a
result of these changes, the Company was authorized to terminate any and all documentation related to the 100,000 shares of Series
B Preferred Stock that the Company's Board of Directors had previously voted to designate back on April 16, 2019.
As of September 30, 2020, the Note

10. LEASES
Effective October 1, 2019, the Company
accounts for its leases under ASC 842, which requires lessees to recognize lease assets and liabilities arising from operating
leases on the balance sheet. The Company adopted the new lease guidance using the modified retrospective approach and elected the
transition option issued under ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements , allowing entities to continue
to apply the legacy guidance in ASC 840, Leases , to prior periods, including disclosure requirements. Accordingly,
prior period financial results and disclosures have not been adjusted.
The Company has operating leases under
which it leases its branch offices, corporate headquarters and data center, one of which is with a related party. As of December
31, 2020, the Company's operating lease right of use asset and operating lease liability totaled $ 865,441 and $ 865,441 ,
respectively. A weighted average discount rate of 10 % was
used in the measurement of the right of use asset and lease liability. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable,
the Company's incremental collateralized borrowing rate is used to determine the present value of lease payments. This rate gives
consideration to the applicable Company collateralized borrowing rates and is based on the information available at the commencement
date. The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption to leases with an initial term
of 12 months or less; therefore, these leases are not recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet, but rather,
lease expense is recognized over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
The Company's operating leases have
remaining lease terms between one year to two years , with a weighted average lease term of 1.39 years
at December 31, 2020. Some leases include multiple year renewal options. The Company’s decision to exercise these renewal
options is based on an assessment of its current business needs and market factors at the time of the renewal. Currently, the Company
has no leases for which the option to renew is reasonably certain and therefore, options to renew were not factored into the calculation
of its right of use asset and lease liability as of December 31, 2020. These operating leases also have a weighted average discount
rate of 10 % at December 31, 2020.
The following is a schedule of the
Company's operating lease liabilities by contractual maturity as of December 31, 2020:
Fiscal year ending September 30, 2021

The Company has financing leases in relation
to the equipment used at its data center. The following is a schedule of the Company’s financing lease liabilities by contractual
maturity as of December 31, 2020:
