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 in the past while it developed its infrastructure and software platforms. As shown in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred operating losses of $ 8.7 million and produced net income of $ 232,510 during the six months ended March 31, 2021. The Company has sufficient capital for ongoing operations from raising additional capital through the registered sale of equity securities pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3. (See Note 11 for additional details.) As of March 31, 2021, the Company had working capital of $ 171,118,618 . F- 6 Table of Contents 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, ATL Data Centers LLC, CleanBlok, LLC, and Solar Watt Solutions, Inc. 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, 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. 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. The Company recognizes energy (solar panel and battery) installation contract revenue for residential customers at a point in time upon completion of the installation. The revenues associated with energy installations for commer cial customers are recognized over a period of time as noted in the engineering and construction contract revenue disclosure above. 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. F- 7 Table of Contents 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. 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 $ 0 and $ 4,103 as of March 31, 2021 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 March 31, 2021 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 $ 551,977 and $ 64,198 in contract liabilities as of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. F- 8 Table of Contents 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. 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, in the form of digital currency, 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. 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 F- 9 Table of Contents 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 six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company reported revenues of $ 10,377,258 and $ 4,635,107 , 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 $ 157,274,542 and $ 3,126,202 in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2021 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. F- 10 Table of Contents The following table presents the activities of the digital currencies for the six months ended March 31, 2021: Amount Balance at September 30, 2020 $ — Additions of digital currencies 7,449,202 Realized gain on sale of digital currencies 635,627 Sale of digital currencies ( 2,422,282 ) Balance at March 31, 2021 $ 5,662,547 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 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 $ 693,508 and $ 42,970 at March 31, 2021, 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 March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. For solar panel and battery installations, the Company transfers component parts from inventories to cost of goods sold once installation is complete. The Company periodically reviews inventories for unusable and obsolete items based on assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Based on this evaluation, provisions are made to write inventories down to their net realizable value. 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. F- 11 Table of Contents 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 March 31, 2021, the cash balance in excess of the FDIC limits was $ 157,024,542 . 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 15 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 March 31, 2021 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 March 31, 2021, there are 1,522,604 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants, the dilutive effect of which is computed using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted Net income (loss) attributable to the Company’s common shareholders: For three months ended For six months ended March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 Numerator: Net Income (Loss) attributable to the Company $ 7,400,040 $ ( 5,815,098 ) $ 232,510 $ ( 7,731,352 ) Numerator for basic and diluted EPS - Income (loss) attributable to the Company's common shareholders $ 7,222,535 $ ( 5,815,098 ) $ 55,005 $ ( 7,731,352 ) Denominator: Denominator for basic EPS - Weighted average shares 25,925,259 5,135,802 24,025,557 4,957,491 Dilutive effect of warrants and options 1,522,604 — 1,522,604 — Dilutive effect of preferred stock conversions 5,250,000 — 5,250,000 — Denominator for diluted EPS - Adjusted weighted average shares 32,697,863 5,135,802 30,798,161 4,957,491 Basic Income (Loss) per common share $ 0.28 $ ( 1.13 ) $ 0.00 $ ( 1.56 ) Diluted Income (Loss) per common share $ 0.22 $ ( 1.13 ) $ 0.00 $ ( 1.56 ) 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 1 - 7 years Mining equipment 3 - 15 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of estimated lease term or 5 years Furniture and fixtures 1 - 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 F- 12 Table of Contents 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 six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. 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. F- 13 Table of Contents Fair value of financial instruments and derivative asset The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and debt (See Note 8) 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. 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. • 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 March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively: Fair value measured at March 31, 2021: Amount Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Derivative asset $ 9,495,404 $ — $ — $ 9,495,404 Investment in equity security 729,500 729,500 — — Investment in debt security 500,000 — — 500,000 Total $ 10,724,904 $ 729,500 $ — $ 9,995,404 Fair value measured at September 30, 2020: Amount Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Derivative asset $ 2,115,269 $ — $ — $ 2,115,269 Investment in equity security 210,000 210,000 — — Investment in debt security 500,000 — — 500,000 Total $ 2,825,269 $ 210,000 $ — $ 2,615,269 F- 14 Table of Contents The below table presents the change in the fair value of the derivative asset and investment in debt security during the three months ended March 31, 2021: Amount Balance at September 30, 2020 $ 2,615,269 Gain/(loss) on derivative asset 7,380,135 Balance at March 31, 2021 $ 9,995,404 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. 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 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. F- 15 Table of Contents 3. ACQUISITIONS SOLAR WATT SOLUTIONS, INC On February 23, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with SWS (“SWS”) and its owners (the “Sellers”).

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 March 31, 2021, the Company's operating lease right of use asset and operating lease liability totaled $ 713,158 and $ 713,023 , 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 1.15 years at March 31, 2021. 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 March 31, 2021. These operating leases also have a weighted average discount rate of 10 % at March 31, 2021. The following is a schedule of the Company's operating lease liabilities by contractual maturity as of March 31, 2021: Fiscal year ending September 30, 2021 (six months remaining) $ 335,094 Fiscal year ending September 30, 2022 420,931 Total Lease Payments 756,025 Less: imputed interest ( 43,002 ) Total present value of lease liabilities $ 713,023 Total operating lease costs of $ 208,536 and $48,459 for the six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, were included as part of administrative expense.

Company Overview We are in the business of providing advanced software and controls technology solutions to solve modern energy challenges. We have a suite of software solutions that provide end-to-end microgrid energy modeling, energy market communications, and energy management solutions. Our offerings consist of intelligent energy monitoring and controls, intelligent microgrid design software, middleware communications protocols for the energy industry, energy system engineering, and software consulting services. The software platforms (the “Platforms”) which are integral to our business are summarized as follows: • mVSO Platform: Energy modeling software for microgrid design and sales • mPulse Platform: Patented, proprietary controls platform that enables integration and optimization of multiple energy sources. • Canvas: Middleware used by Grid Operators and Aggregators to administrate load shifting programs. • Plaid: Middleware used by Controls and IoT Product Companies to participate in load shifting programs In addition, following our acquisition of Solar Watt Solutions, Inc. (“Solar Watt”) in February 2021, we are in the process of developing our mVoult platform, which we expect will be a proprietary platform that would enable integration and optimization of solar, energy storage and back-up generators for residential applications. The Platforms are designed to allow customers to design, build, and operate distributed energy systems and microgrids which efficiently manage energy generation assets, energy storage assets, and energy consumption assets. Our software products enable users to implement software solutions to execute on these strategies. These strategies are generally targeted to operate distributed energy assets in a manner that provides resiliency and economic optimization and/or revenue generation through wholesale market activities. We also own patented gasification technologies. Our technology converts any organic material into SynGas, which can be used as fuel for a variety of applications and as feedstock for the generation of DME (Di-Methyl Ether). As previously disclosed, we plan to continue to focus on our other product offerings, as opposed to expending significant efforts on the Gasifier side of the business. 4 Table of Contents Distributed Energy Management and Microgrid Industry Integral to our business is our Distributed Energy Management (or “DER”) business. The main assets of our DER business include our proprietary software systems (“Systems”) and our engineering and methodology trade secrets. The distributed energy systems and microgrids that utilize our Systems are capable of providing secure, sustainable energy with significant cost savings for energy customers. Through the Systems, customers are able to design, engineer, and then efficiently communicate with and manage renewable energy generation, storage and consumption. By having autonomous control over the multiple facets of energy usage and storage, customers are able to reduce their dependency on utilities, thereby keeping energy costs relatively constant over time. The overall aim is to transform energy consumers into intelligent energy producers that supply and manage power in a manner that avoids interruptions. Around the world, aging energy grids are becoming unstable and unreliable due to increases in loads and the widespread lack of new large-scale generation facilities. This inherent instability in existing energy grids is compounded by pressure to integrate a growing number and variety of renewable but intermittent energy generation assets and advanced technologies into outdated electrical grid systems. Simultaneously, defense installations, industrial complexes, communities, campuses and other aggregators across the world are turning to virtual power plants and microgrids as a means to decrease their reliance on existing energy grid, reduce utility costs, utilize cleaner power and enhance energy security and surety. The convergence of these factors has created, and is expected to continue to create significant opportunities in the power supply optimization and energy management industry. Efficiently operating and managing the distributed energy management systems and microgrids of tomorrow, while maximizing the use of sustainable energy to produce affordable, stable, predictable and reliable power on a large scale, is a significant opportunity that early-movers can leverage to capture a large share of this emerging global industry. A microgrid is comprised of any number of energy generation, energy storage, and smart distribution assets that serve a single or multiple load, both connected to the utility grid and “islanded,” separate from the utility grid. In the past, distributed energy management systems and microgrids have consisted of off-grid generators organized with controls to provide power where utility lines cannot run. Today, modern distributed energy management systems and microgrids integrate renewable energy generation systems (REGS) with advanced energy storage devices and interoperate with the local utility grid. Advanced autonomous cyber-secure microgrid controls relay information between intelligent hardware and servers to make decisions in real-time that deliver optimum power where it is needed, when it is needed. mPulse Software Suite mPulse is a modular platform that provides intelligent control of a Microgrid based on a system’s operational goals, energy assets and forecasted energy load and generation. mPulse performs high-frequency calculations, threshold-based alarming, execution of domain-specific business rules, internal and external health monitoring, historical data persistence, and system-to-operator notifications. The modular design of mPulse increases system flexibility and extensibility. In addition, the deployment of the mPulse system follows a security-conscious posture by deploying hardware-based firewalls as well as encryption across communication channels. mPulse allows configuration for site-specific equipment and operation and provides a clean, informative user interface to allow customers to monitor and analyze the data streams that describe how their microgrid is operating. Our mPulse software also serves as an integrated distributed energy management control platform that seamlessly integrates and controls all forms of energy generation with energy storage devices to provide energy security in real time, free of cyber threats to service facility loads. As a DER system, mPulse is able to interoperate with the local utility grid and bring users the ability to choose when to buy or sell power to and from the utility grid. mPulse is designed and intended for commercial, industrial, defense, campus and residential users and ranges in capacity from 4 kilowatts to 100 megawatts and beyond. 5 Table of Contents mPulse supports our innovative fractal approach to microgrid design, which enables multiple microgrids on a single site to interact in a number of different ways, including as peers, in a parent-child relationship, and in parallel or completely disconnected. Each grid can have different operational objectives, and those operational objectives can change over time. Any microgrid can be islanded from the rest of the microgrid as well as the larger utility grid. The mPulse software can control the workflow required in both the islanding steps as well as the reconnecting steps of this maneuver and coordinate connected equipment such that connections are only made when it is safe to do so. mVoult — Residential Platform mVoult is a smart power system that is under development and is expected to provide a single solution for resilient, reliable and cost-effective energy for residential properties of all sizes. Our systems will be able to be configured to a homeowner’s needs upon installation, with flexibility for future expansion. Our mVoult software will direct microgrid system operations to manage solar, battery, and utility power. It will be capable of providing resilient, sustainable and low-cost energy for a residential microgrid, allowing a home to stay powered during utility outages or during events, such as fires and natural disasters, when a utility may otherwise shut down or be unable to provide service. Microgrid Value Stream Optimizer (mVSO) Our Microgrid Value Stream Optimizer (mVSO) software platform provides a robust distributed energy and microgrid system modeling solution. mVSO takes utility rate data and load data for our customers’ sites and helps automate the sizing and analysis of potential microgrid solutions, as well as providing a financial analysis around each grid configuration. mVSO uses historical data to generate projected energy performance of generation assets and models the way in which energy storage responds to varying operational modes and command logics based upon predicted generation and load curves. mVSO analyzes multiple equipment combinations and operational situations to determine the optimal configuration for a customer’s site based on factors, including, among others, the financial and economic results, equipment outlay and utility cost savings, to arrive at payback and internal rate of return values. This ultimately provides our customers with data to design a distributed energy and/or microgrid system that will meet the customers’ performance benchmarks. The mVSO also provides users with business development and proposal generation tools to more efficiently present the results to end-customers. Critical power switchgear and hardware solutions — CleanSpark Critical Power Systems Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, CleanSpark Critical Power Systems, Inc., we provide parallel switchgear, automatic transfer switches and related control and circuit protective equipment solutions for commercial, industrial, defense, campus and residential users. We utilize Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc. for contract manufacturing of our parallel switchgear, automatic transfer switches and related control and circuit protective equipment. OpenADR and communication protocol software solutions — GridFabric Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, GridFabric, LLC , (“GridFabric”) we offer Open Automated Demand Response (or OpenADR) solutions to commercial and utility customers. We provide middleware software solutions for utilities and IoT products that manage energy loads. OpenADR 2.0b is now the basis for the standard to be developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission, which is an organization that prepares and publishes international standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies. Our core products in this area of our business are Canvas and Plaid. Canvas is an OpenADR 2.0b Virtual Top Node (or VTN) built for testing and managing Virtual End Nodes (or VENs) that pilot and run load shifting programs. Canvas is offered to customers in the cloud as a software as a service (SaaS) solution or as a licensed software. 6 Table of Contents Plaid Plaid is a licensed software solution that allows any internet-connected product that uses energy (i.e., solar, storage & inverters, demand response, electric vehicle charging, lighting, industrial controls and building management systems) to add load shifting capabilities by translating load shifting protocols into their existing application programing interface (or API). Companies that implement Plaid receive a Certified OpenADR 2.0b Virtual End Node upon completion of the implementation process. Bitcoin Mining — ATL Data Centers and CleanBlok Through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, ATL Data Centers LLC (“ATL”) and our recently-formed subsidiary, CleanBlok, LLC, we mine bitcoin. Bitcoin was first introduced in 2008 with the goal of serving as a means of exchanging and storing value. Bitcoin is a new form of digital currency that depends upon a consensus-based network and a public ledger called a “blockchain,” which contains a record of every bitcoin transaction ever processed. The bitcoin network was the first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network powered by those users participating in the consensus protocol, with no central authority or middlemen, that has wide network participation. The authenticity of each bitcoin transaction is protected through digital signatures that correspond with addresses of users that send and receive bitcoin. Users have full control over remitting bitcoin from their own sending addresses. All transactions on the bitcoin blockchain are transparent, allowing those running the appropriate software to confirm the validity of each transaction. In order to be recorded on the blockchain, each bitcoin transaction is validated through a proof-of-work consensus method, which entails solving complex mathematical problems to validate transactions and post them on the blockchain, which is often called “mining.” For successfully solving the problems and providing computing power to the network, the computer is rewarded with bitcoins, both in the form of newly-created bitcoins and fees in bitcoin. Factors such as access to computer processing capacity, interconnectivity, electricity cost, environmental factors (such as cooling capacity) and location play an important role in mining. Our current facilities are capable of producing an over 300 PH/s in hash rate capacity. In cryptocurrency mining, “hash rate” is a measure of the processing capacity and speed by a mining computer to mine and process transactions on the bitcoin network. Our activities in this area, in addition to generating revenue in the form of bitcoin, creates an advantageous business opportunity for us to operate a full-scale, demonstration facility of our energy-related products and solutions. We plan to deploy our energy technologies and trade secrets in our bitcoin mining operations with the goal of maximizing energy savings, expanding total power capacity, providing resilient electricity, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. We anticipate that implementing this strategy will involve the design and installation of multiple microgrids at the ATL Data Center facility. We are in the process of actively expanding this aspect of our business and are working toward expanding our hash rate capacity, with the goal of exceeding 1.0 EH/s in hash rate capacity in fiscal year 2021. As a result of our mining operations, we acquire bitcoin, and, while we have to date retained a significant portion of the bitcoin from our mining operations (typically maintaining the bitcoin at a digital asset exchange), we have sold, and may from time to time sell, bitcoin from our inventory. We do not currently plan to engage in regular trading of bitcoin (other than as necessary to convert our bitcoin to U.S. dollars) or to engage in hedging activities related to our holding of bitcoin; however, our decisions to hold or sell bitcoin at any given time may be impacted by the bitcoin market, which has been historically characterized by significant volatility. Currently, we do not use a formula or specific methodology to determine whether or when we will sell bitcoin that we hold, or the number of bitcoins we will sell. Rather, decisions to hold or sell bitcoins in our inventory are currently determined by individuals analyzing forecasts and monitoring the market in real time. As with many new and emerging technologies, our bitcoin mining activities present potentially significant risks to our business. Businesses (including ours) that seek to develop, promote, adopt, transact or rely upon blockchain technologies and bitcoin may have a limited track record and operate within novel and developing environments. These risks are not only related to the businesses we are pursuing, but also the industry as a whole and the concept behind blockchain and cryptocurrency as value creation. In addition, our holding and selling of bitcoin may subject us to additional risks, including the possibility that our activities may become subject to additional regulation or regulatory scrutiny. 7 Table of Contents Energy system integration and installation — Solar Watt Solutions Following our acquisition of Solar Watt Solutions, Inc. in February 2021, we provide solar and alternative energy solutions for homeowners and commercial businesses in Southern California. These energy solutions include implementation and installation services for solar panels, energy storage and electric vehicle charging station systems. Solar Watt has historically been focused on serving the communities throughout California, and we intend to work to further expand those services to other regions outside of Southern California. Through these efforts, we expect to leverage those services and capacities to further expand our residential and commercial initiatives, including our mVoult product line for residential microgrids and our mPulse product line for commercial microgrids. Digital Agency Products and Services — p2kLabs Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, p2kLabs, Inc., we provide a suite of digital services from creative design to technical development for products and services through the entire product/service lifecycle. Such services are provided through “labs,” with each lab containing its own unique offering, including design, marketing/digital content, engineering and SalesForce development, and strategy services. Legacy Gasifier Business We own patented gasification technologies that convert any organic material into synthesis gas (“SynGas”). Our patents protect our gasification technology and process for using feedstock comprising gaseous fuel. Our patented process involves the grinding, drying, separating, mixing, and then pelletizing of solid waste. These pellets constitute the feedstock for the gasifier. Gasifying feedstock using our technology converts waste and organic material into SynGas, which can then be converted into multiple forms of fuel for power plants, motor vehicles, jets, duel-fuel diesel engines, gas turbines, and steam boilers and as feedstock for the generation of DME (Di-Methyl Ether). The SynGas produced is mostly hydrogen and carbon monoxide, which are primary building blocks for many fuels and chemicals. SynGas is sufficiently clean that, if processed directly, it generally does not require costly hot-gas cleanup. Our gasification technologies and prototype will require additional testing to further establish their commercial capability of producing large volumes of clean, renewable energy from any carbon compound (municipal solid waste (MSW), coal, sewage sludge) into clean SynGas. Our prototype gasifier is still under development and a commercially viable gasifier is not expected to be viable for sale until we expend additional resources on its testing and development. A third-party consulting firm has independently tested the gasifier’s performance and certified the results of its performance. Upon completion of the testing, an initial white paper was published outlining the results and suggested improvements for commercialization. We anticipate that the investment to complete these improvements would be approximately $500,000. Upon completion of the improvements, we would be required to conduct an extended test run with an independent third party to verify the results needed to prove its commercial viability, at which time we could begin to actively market our gasifier units. We do not anticipate deploying significant resources on the gasification business at this time. As opportunities arise, we may utilize the gasification assets and intellectual properties through licensing or sales agreements. At this time, we are not engaged in any negotiations to sell or license our gasifier products to any customers. Government Regulation As described above, following our acquisition of ATL Data Centers in December 2020, we are engaged in the business of mining and selling bitcoin. As a result, we may become subject to government regulation of blockchain and cryptocurrency, including bitcoin, which has been developing rapidly in the United States federal government through a number of federal agencies and regulatory bodies, as well as in other countries by similar entities. State government regulations also may apply to our current operations and activities as well as other activities in which we participate or may participate in the future. Furthermore, transnational organizations and semi-governmental agencies have shown an interest in regulating or investigating companies engaged in the blockchain or cryptocurrency business. We expect regulation in this space to continue to evolve. 8 Table of Contents These and other regulations, including regulations that may become applicable to our business in the future, may substantially change in the future, and it is presently not possible to know how or when any such regulations will apply to our businesses. We may also become subject to new laws and further regulation by the SEC and other agencies. Various bills have been proposed in Congress related to the industries in which we operate, which, if adopted, may have a significant impact on us. For additional discussion regarding our beliefs about the potential risks existing and future regulation as well as other conditions pose to our business, see the “Risk Factors” section below and in the documents incorporated by reference therein.

Operating Activities Operating activities used $11,686,460 in cash for the six months ended March 31, 2021, as compared with $1,263,055 for the same period ended March 31, 2020. Our use of net cash in operating activities were primarily driven by gain on derivative asset of $7,380,135, realized gain on sale of digital currency of $635,627, and PPA loan forgiveness of $531,169, offset mainly by stock based compensation of $5,199,658, depreciation and amortization of $3,226,263, and bad debt provision of $231,932.

Management believes that the Company has sufficient liquidity to satisfy its anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months and beyond. The Company’s management prepares budgets and monitors the financial results of the Company as a tool to align liquidity needs to the recurring business requirements. Off Balance Sheet Arrangements As of March 31, 2021, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements The Company has evaluated all 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. 12 Table of Contents Critical Accounting Policies In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our accounting policies are discussed in detail in the footnotes to our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2020. However, we consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to revenue recognition, long-lived assets, accounts receivable, fair value of financial instruments, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, warranty liability and stock-based compensation. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Not applicable to a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Item 4. Controls and Procedures We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic and current reports that we file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Limitation on Effectiveness of Controls The design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals. The inherent limitations in any control system include the realities that judgments related to decision-making can be faulty, and that reduced effectiveness in controls can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Due to the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error may occur and may not be detected. Disclosure Controls and Procedures We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2021. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to our recently acquired entity (i.e., ATL Data Centers LLC ) in the process of adopting our internal controls and procedures. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting Other than remediation actions related to a previous material weakness in our internal controls, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 13 Table of Contents PART II – OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings We are subject to litigation, claims, investigations and audits arising from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. CleanSpark, Inc. v. Discover Growth Fund, LLC On August 5, 2020, the Company filed a verified complaint (the “Complaint”) in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against an investor (“Investor”). Among other things, the Complaint seeks: declaratory relief against Investor in response to Investor’s claim that a Form 8-K filed by the Company in relation to a July 20, 2020 securities purchase agreement (the “July 2020 SPA”) needed pre-approval by Investor prior to filing, and injunctive relief in response to conversion notices sent by Investor claiming trigger events and defaults arising out of the failure to obtain the Form 8-K pre-approval. The case was subsequently removed to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, which then determined that the parties’ agreements required a JAMS arbitrator sitting in the U.S. Virgin Islands to resolve the parties’ dispute over which of their agreements’ competing forum selection clauses was controlling, and that therefore the Court’s personal jurisdiction over Investor had not been established. While the New York action was pending, Investor filed a demand for arbitration with JAMS in the U.S. Virgin Islands, alleging breach of the Securities Purchase Agreement dated December 31, 2018, and the Purchase Agreement dated April 17, 2019 (the “Prior SPAs”) between Investor and the Company (the “Arbitration”) and seeking issuance of additional shares of the Company. The Company then filed a response to Investor’s claims, denying Investor’s claims and asserting counterclaims against Investor, and also filed for emergency injunctive relief in the Arbitration seeking, among other things, an order enjoining Investor from continuing to pursue certain remedies based on the allegations in the Arbitration between Investor and the Company. On September 21, 2020, the arbitrator granted the Company’s motion for emergency interim relief in the Arbitration. On April 30, 2021, the Arbitrator granted in part the Company’s motion for partial summary judgment and denied the Investor’s motion for partial summary judgment, and ordered the following: (i) the July 2020 SPA is a fully merged and integrated agreement and its publicity clause supersedes the publicity clauses of the Prior SPAs between Company and Investor with respect to securities filings relating to the July 2020 SPA transaction; (ii) the Company had no obligation to allow the Investor to review and approve certain 8-K’s and 10-Q’s concerning the July 2020 SPA transaction and the purported failure to allow the Investor to review and approve such filings was not a breach of the Prior SPAs between the Company and Investor; (iii) the Company’s obligations under the parties’ prior debenture and note (the “Debenture” and “Note”) were discharged when the Investor fully converted those instruments on or before June 30, 2020; (iv) the subsequent delivery notices sent by the Investor were void ab initio and the Company no longer has any obligations under the Debenture and Note; and (v) the Investor’s claim for liquidated damages arising from the Company’s alleged failure to deliver conversion shares under the Debenture and Note was denied on the grounds that (1) the Investor’s right to issue delivery notices had expired, and the Company’s obligations under the Debenture and Note had been discharged prior to June 30, 2020, and (2) all the Investor’s delivery notices rely at least in part on the Company’s alleged breach of the Prior SPAs’ publicity clause with respect to securities filings relating to the July 2020 SPA transaction, a claim to which the Arbitrator ruled in the Company’s favor. In so holding, the Arbitrator also denied, as a matter of law, the Investor’s claims for breach of contract (Counts 1 and 2) and its claim seeking specific performance of delivering additional shares (Count 4). Certain claims remain for trial in the Arbitration and the ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be determined with certainty. As it has stated previously, the Company believes that claims raised by the Investor in and related to the Arbitration are without merit, and the Company intends to continue to both defend itself vigorously and to vigorously prosecute its counterclaims. It is possible that actions related to this dispute with the Investor may yet be filed in the same or other forums. The Company does not intend to file further Current Reports on Form 8-K describing the additional lawsuits, or provide updates, except as required by law. 14 Table of Contents Bishins v. CleanSpark, Inc. et al. On January 20, 2021, Scott Bishins (“Bishins”), individually, and on behalf of all others similarly situated (together, the “Class”), filed a class action complaint (the “Class Complaint”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, its Chief Executive Officer, Zachary Bradford (“Bradford”), and its Chief Financial Officer, Lori Love (“Love”) (the “Class Action”). The Class Complaint alleges that, between December 31, 2020 and January 14, 2021, the Company, Bradford, and Love “failed to disclose to investors: (1) that the Company had overstated its customer and contract figures; (2) that several of the Company’s recent acquisitions involved undisclosed related party transactions; and (3) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.” (the “Class Allegations”). The Class Complaint seeks: (a) certification of the Class, (b) an award of compensatory damages to the Class, and (c) an award of reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Class in the litigation. To date, no class has been certified in the Class Action. Although the ultimate outcome of the Class Action cannot be determined with certainty, the Company stands behind all of its prior statements and disclosures and believes that the claims raised in the Class Complaint are entirely without merit. The Company intends to both defend itself vigorously against these claims and to vigorously prosecute any counterclaims. Notwithstanding the Class Allegations’ lack of merit, however, the Class Action may distract the Company and cost the Company’s management time, effort and expense to defend against the claims made in the Class Complaint. Notwithstanding the Company’s belief that the Company and its management have complied with all of their obligations under applicable securities regulations, no assurance can be given as to the outcome of the Class Action, and in the event the Company does not prevail in such action, the Company, its business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected. Item 1A. Risk Factors Please carefully consider the information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1 A. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2020 , Part II, Item 1. A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2020 , and the risk factors starting on page S-11 of our recent Prospectus Supplement filed on March 18, 2021 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), each of which is incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. In evaluating our business, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act and the Prospectus Supplement. The occurrence of any of the risks discussed in such filings, or other events that we do not currently anticipate or that we currently deem immaterial, could harm our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds The information set forth below relates to our issuances of securities without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 during the reporting period which were not previously included in an Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or Current Report on Form 8-K. During the period commencing January 1, 2021 through March 31, 2021, the Company issued 19,429 shares of common stock as in relation to compensation for services. These securities were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The holders represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view towards distribution. The investors were given adequate information about us to make an informed investment decision. We did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising. We directed our transfer agent to issue the stock certificates with the appropriate restrictive legend affixed to the restricted stock. 15 Table of Contents Item 3.
