+Added: mine bitcoin.
+Added: was first introduced in 2008 with the goal of serving as a means of exchanging and storing value.
+Added: Bitcoin is a new form of digital
+Added: currency that depends upon a consensus-based network and a public ledger called a “blockchain,” which contains a record
+Added: of every bitcoin transaction ever processed.
+Added: The bitcoin network was the first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network powered

+Added: The authenticity of each bitcoin transaction is protected through digital signatures that correspond with addresses of users that
+Added: send and receive bitcoin.
+Added: Users have full control over remitting bitcoin from their own sending addresses.
+Added: All transactions on
+Added: the bitcoin blockchain are transparent, allowing those running the appropriate software to confirm the validity of each transaction.
+Added: In order to be recorded on the blockchain, each bitcoin transaction is validated through a proof-of-work consensus method, which
+Added: entails solving complex mathematical problems to validate transactions and post them on the blockchain, which is often called “mining.”
+Added: For successfully solving the problems and providing computing power to the network, the computer is rewarded with bitcoins, both
+Added: in the form of newly-created bitcoins and fees in bitcoin.
+Added: such as access to computer processing capacity, interconnectivity, electricity cost, environmental factors (such as cooling capacity)
+Added: and location play an important role in mining.
+Added: Our current facilities are capable of producing an over 300 PH/s in hash rate capacity.
+Added: In cryptocurrency mining, “hash rate” is a measure of the processing capacity and speed by a mining computer to mine
+Added: and process transactions on the bitcoin network.
+Added: Our activities in this area, in addition to generating revenue in the form of
+Added: bitcoin, creates an advantageous business opportunity for us to operate a full-scale, demonstration facility of our energy-related
+Added: products and solutions.
+Added: We plan to deploy our energy technologies and trade secrets in our bitcoin mining operations with the goal
+Added: of maximizing energy savings, expanding total power capacity, providing resilient electricity, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
+Added: We anticipate that implementing this strategy will involve the design and installation of multiple microgrids at the ATL Data Center
+Added: We are in the process of actively expanding this aspect of our business and are working toward expanding our hash rate
+Added: capacity, with the goal of exceeding 1.0 EH/s in hash rate capacity in fiscal year 2021.
+Added: a result of our mining operations, we acquire bitcoin, and, while we have to date retained a significant portion of the bitcoin
+Added: from our mining operations (typically maintaining the bitcoin at a digital asset exchange), we have sold, and may from time to
+Added: time sell, bitcoin from our inventory.
+Added: We do not currently plan to engage in regular trading of bitcoin (other than as necessary
+Added: to convert our bitcoin to U.S.
+Added: dollars) or to engage in hedging activities related to our holding of bitcoin;
+Added: however, our decisions
+Added: to hold or sell bitcoin at any given time may be impacted by the bitcoin market, which has been historically characterized by significant
+Added: Currently, we do not use a formula or specific methodology to determine whether or when we will sell bitcoin that we
+Added: hold, or the number of bitcoins we will sell.
+Added: Rather, decisions to hold or sell bitcoins in our inventory are currently determined
+Added: by individuals analyzing forecasts and monitoring the market in real time.
+Added: with many new and emerging technologies, our bitcoin mining activities present potentially significant risks to our business.
+Added: (including ours) that seek to develop, promote, adopt, transact or rely upon blockchain technologies and bitcoin may have a limited
+Added: track record and operate within novel and developing environments.
+Added: These risks are not only related to the businesses we are pursuing,
+Added: but also the industry as a whole and the concept behind blockchain and cryptocurrency as value creation.
+Added: In addition, our holding
+Added: and selling of bitcoin may subject us to additional risks, including the possibility that our activities may become subject to

+Added: Gasifying feedstock using our technology converts waste and organic material into SynGas, which can then be converted into multiple
+Added: forms of fuel for power plants, motor vehicles, jets, duel-fuel diesel engines, gas turbines, and steam boilers and as feedstock
+Added: for the generation of DME (Di-Methyl Ether).
+Added: The SynGas produced is mostly hydrogen and carbon monoxide, which are primary building
+Added: blocks for many fuels and chemicals.
+Added: SynGas is sufficiently clean that, if processed directly, it generally does not require costly
+Added: hot-gas cleanup.
+Added: gasification technologies and prototype will require additional testing to further establish their commercial capability of producing
+Added: large volumes of clean, renewable energy from any carbon compound (municipal solid waste (MSW), coal, sewage sludge) into clean
+Added: Our prototype gasifier is still under development and a commercially viable gasifier is not expected to be viable for sale
+Added: until we expend additional resources on its testing and development.
+Added: A third-party consulting firm has independently tested the
+Added: gasifier’s performance and certified the results of its performance.
+Added: Upon completion of the testing, an initial white paper
+Added: was published outlining the results and suggested improvements for commercialization.
+Added: We anticipate that the investment to complete
+Added: these improvements would be approximately $500,000.
+Added: Upon completion of the improvements, we would be required to conduct an extended
+Added: test run with an independent third party to verify the results needed to prove its commercial viability, at which time we could
+Added: begin to actively market our gasifier units.
+Added: We do not anticipate deploying significant resources on the gasification business
+Added: at this time.
+Added: As opportunities arise, we may utilize the gasification assets and intellectual properties through licensing or sales
+Added: this time, we are not engaged in any negotiations to sell or license our gasifier products to any customers.
+Added: described above, following our acquisition of ATL Data Centers in December 2020, we are engaged in the business of mining
+Added: and selling bitcoin.
+Added: As a result, we may become subject to government regulation of blockchain and cryptocurrency, including bitcoin,
+Added: which has been developing rapidly in the United States federal government through a number of federal agencies and regulatory
+Added: bodies, as well as in other countries by similar entities.
+Added: State government regulations also may apply to our current operations
+Added: and activities as well as other activities in which we participate or may participate in the future.
+Added: Furthermore, transnational
+Added: organizations and semi-governmental agencies have shown an interest in regulating or investigating companies engaged in the blockchain
+Added: or cryptocurrency business.
+Added: We expect regulation in this space to continue to evolve.
+Added: and other regulations, including regulations that may become applicable to our business in the future, may substantially change
+Added: in the future, and it is presently not possible to know how or when any such regulations will apply to our businesses.
+Added: also become subject to new laws and further regulation by the SEC and other agencies.
+Added: Various bills have been proposed in Congress
