−Removed: History and Recent Developments
−Removed: were incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada on March 20, 2002 under the name Integrated Brand Solutions Inc., and on
−Removed: February 6, 2006, we changed our name to Upstream Biosciences Inc.
−Removed: From 2006 to December 2009, our company operated as a biotechnology
−Removed: company, and from 2010 until May 2013, our company had no operating business.
−Removed: May 24, 2013, our then majority stockholders sold their interests in our company to RealSource Acquisition Group, LLC, a Utah limited
−Removed: liability company, and Chesterfield Faring Ltd., a New York corporation, and on July 11, 2013, we changed our corporate name to RealSource
−Removed: Residential, Inc.
−Removed: Our initial business strategy in 2013 was to engage in various real estate related businesses.
−Removed: However, in 2016 we
−Removed: disposed of all of our real estate and other assets and continued operations as a public “shell” company.
−Removed: September 12, 2018, M1 Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company controlled by Michael Campbell, our current Chief Executive
−Removed: Officer and a director of our company (“M1 Advisors”), acquired a controlling interest in our company, and on December 20,
−Removed: 2018, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to (i)
−Removed: change our corporate name from “RealSource Residential, Inc.” to “CalEthos, Inc.” and (ii) to increased our authorized
−Removed: shares of common stock from 4,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares.
−Removed: This amendment became effective immediately upon filing on December
−Removed: intention in acquiring the public company was to use it as a financing and acquisition vehicle for building a chain of large-format cannabis
−Removed: retail superstores to serve the needs of the rapidly-growing Southern California market.
−Removed: Over the subsequent two-year period, management
−Removed: assembled a number of acquisitions for retail licenses, store leases and display agreements with numerous cannabis brands as part of
−Removed: executing its business plan.
−Removed: However, once the COVID 19 pandemic lockdowns hit in early 2020 and Federal legalization of cannabis did
−Removed: not materialize after the 2020 elections, funding for cannabis-related businesses became less available and by the end of 2020, we concluded
−Removed: it would be better to pursue other business opportunities for our public company.
−Removed: After months of research, we determined there was a
−Removed: sizable opportunity to develop and manufacture high-performance computer systems for the cryptocurrency mining industry.
−Removed: In March 2021,
−Removed: we created a new business plan to develop a five nanometer ASIC chip and bitcoin mining computer system in South Korea utilizing Samsung
−Removed: technology and foundry capacity.
−Removed: August 2021, we hired an experienced chief technology officer from the chip industry to lead our product development and in September
−Removed: 2021, we closed a convertible debt financing of $3.5 million to fund the initial phase of product development.
−Removed: In connection with such
−Removed: capital raise, our board of directors determined that we are no longer a shell company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange
−Removed: Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
−Removed: November 5, 2021, we incorporated AIQ System Inc.
−Removed: (“AIQ”), as a wholly-owned subsidiary in Seoul, Republic of Korea to
−Removed: support our product development efforts and to manage all of our computer chip and system development teams and activities.
−Removed: the subsequent eight months ended June 30, 2022, the bitcoin market went into decline, and we decided to abandon our chip and system
−Removed: development efforts and to discontinue the operations of AIQ as of July 1, 2022.
−Removed: the development of our computer chip and system in Korea, we had also developed a plan to build a large-scale, clean-energy powered,
−Removed: containerized, immersion-cooled data center operation in Southern California to support the use of the systems we were developing for
−Removed: our company and for others.
−Removed: After the bitcoin market bottomed out in June 2022, we determined that we could develop a profitable business
−Removed: by offering data center colocation services to a larger customer base of enterprise companies.
−Removed: As of July 1, 2022, we commenced
−Removed: our current operating plan to focus solely on the development and construction of clean-energy powered data centers that will utilize
−Removed: immersion and liquid-cooled and conventional energy efficient systems and will provide clean-energy-powered colocation services to
−Removed: large enterprise information technology (IT) customers.
−Removed: To this end and to implement our
−Removed: going-forward plan, on March 28, 2023 we hired Joel Stone.
−Removed: a senior data center executive with 24 years of data center experience, as our
−Removed: President and Chief Operating Officer, and on March 30, 2023, we completed negotiations and signed an option agreement to acquire 80 acres
−Removed: of commercially-zoned land in Imperial County, California that is surrounded by nearby geothermal power plants and solar farms.
−Removed: currently in the process of negotiating with various power producers in the area to provide us with clean energy and with communication
−Removed: companies for access to their close-by long-haul and dark fiber networks.
−Removed: an experienced data center executive on board and the property under contract, we intend to complete a land use plan that will be submitted
−Removed: for approval to local authorities and to apply for permits to start construction.
−Removed: We expect, based on all related factors, that a submittable
−Removed: plan, which will include data center and infrastructure design, will take between four to six months to complete.
−Removed: Once submitted for
−Removed: approvals and permits, it is expected that it could take another three to six months or more before we receive the required permits for
−Removed: construction, and that the construction could take another six to eight months or more to complete depending on supply chain issues at
−Removed: the time for data center, electrical and communication connectivity components of the data center build.
−Removed: The foregoing time estimates
−Removed: are preliminary and are subject to change.
−Removed: In addition, there can be no assurance that our use plan will receive all required regulatory
−Removed: approvals or that we will be issued the required approvals or permits necessary to complete construction of the data center we intend
−Removed: we move through the development process to build a clean-energy powered data center for enterprise IT customers, we will continue to
−Removed: refine and finalize the courses of action needed to implement our business plan and operations.
−Removed: As a result, management has not fully
−Removed: determined our actual short-term or long-term capital requirements, which management expects to be substantial.
+Added: are in the early stages of implementing our plan for the construction and operation of clean-energy-powered data centers to lease to
+Added: large enterprise information technology (IT) customers that are creating or addressing the growing demand for AI, Cloud and High-Performance
+Added: Computing (HPC) digital services.
+Added: Data centers are highly-specialized and secure buildings that house networking, storage and communications
+Added: technology infrastructure, including servers, storage devices, switches, routers and fiber optic transmission equipment.
+Added: They are designed
+Added: to provide the space, power, cooling and network connectivity necessary to efficiently operate mission-critical IT equipment.
+Added: Telecommunications
+Added: carriers and internet providers typically provide network access into a data center through optical fiber connections.
+Added: The demand for
+Added: data center infrastructure is being driven by many factors, but most importantly by significant growth in data and increased demand for
+Added: data processing and storage infrastructure.
+Added: The market for data center facilities includes established “traditional” enterprises
+Added: that are web-enabling their applications and business processes, as well as cloud-centric companies with sophisticated technology requirements.
+Added: are many types of data centers and service models available in the marketplace.
+Added: Generally, their classification depends on whether they
+Added: are owned by one or many organizations, how they fit into the topology of other data centers, what technologies they use for computing
+Added: and storage, and even their energy efficiency.
+Added: However, there are four main types of data centers:
+Added: Data Centers.
+Added: These are built, owned and operated by companies and are optimized for their end users.
+Added: Most often they are housed
+Added: on the corporate campus.
+Added: Services Data Centers.
+Added: These data centers are managed by a third party (or a managed services provider) on behalf of a company.
+Added: company leases the equipment and infrastructure instead of buying it.
+Added: Colocation Data Centers.
+Added: In colocation (“colo”) data centers, a company rents space within a data center owned by others
+Added: and located off company premises.
+Added: The colocation data center hosts the infrastructure:
+Added: building, cooling, bandwidth, security, etc.,
+Added: while the company provides and manages the components, including servers, storage, and firewalls.
+Added: Data Centers.
+Added: In this off-premises form of data center, data and applications are hosted by a cloud services provider such as Amazon
+Added: Web Services (AWS), Microsoft (Azure), or IBM Cloud or other public cloud provider.
+Added: are developing our business model to compete in the wholesale colocation segment of the data center services industry, which is focused
+Added: on providing data center space to companies that provide the processing, networking and storage of data.
+Added: With the move to treat data
+Added: as an asset, the data services market is expected to experience significant growth over the next decade.
+Added: Industry automation and digital
+Added: businesses are expanding, and these businesses are expected to require huge amounts of data for their businesses.
+Added: North America is the
+Added: most advanced region globally and data center services are in high demand.
+Added: planning for our initial data centers, we are in discussions with several large companies that would lease all or part of the data center
+Added: campus, with the intention of cultivating long-term strategic relationships with them once they become our customers and providing them
+Added: with solutions for their data center facilities and IT infrastructure requirements.
+Added: We initially intend to provide clean-energy powered
+Added: wholesale colocation space with flexibility for customers to scale for future growth.
+Added: As currently contemplated, our offerings will provide
+Added: clean energy power, flexibility, reliability and security delivered through a tailored, customer-service-focused platform that will be
+Added: designed to foster long-term relationships.
+Added: Our plan is to focus on technology and large cloud computing customers that are expanding
+Added: their services rapidly in the public and private cloud environments to provide them with solutions that address their current and future
+Added: We expect that our facilities and construction design will allow us to offer flexibility in rack density and power resiliency,
+Added: and the opportunity for expansion as our customers’ needs grow.
of Operations
−Removed: of the filing of this Report, we have hired Joel Stone as our President and Chief Operating Officer and signed an option agreement to

+Added: over the last 24 months, we plan to develop our 80-acre parcel
+Added: in Imperial County, California to support a 300-megawatt (MW) critical IT load data center campus of up to one million square feet of
+Added: rentable colocation space utilizing baseload geothermal and supplemental solar from local power producers.
+Added: Our site is industrial zoned,
+Added: approved for data center use and today has access to up to 500MW of clean energy that can be delivered to it through two separate highly-reliable
+Added: 230kV high-voltage transmission lines.
+Added: the end of December 2023, we started Phase II of our data center development plan.
+Added: Phase II includes hiring additional staff and consultants
+Added: to complete environmental, health and safety and cyber security procedures and to develop a set of data center operating procedures to
+Added: meet customer pre-qualification requirements.
+Added: During this phase, we will also develop requests for proposals (RFPs) and contract packages
+Added: for contracting an engineering/design firm and general contractor.
+Added: In addition, we will ramp up our operating staff to support the infrastructure
+Added: and buildings design processes and the development of building plans and the permit packages.
+Added: We will also undertake and complete utility
+Added: studies, transmission planning, substation design and the next level of geotechnical testing.
+Added: the next few months, we plan to complete our negotiations with the local grid operator to deliver geothermal and solar power to our
+Added: Imperial County site directly from local producers and to have selected and contracted our architect/engineering firm and general
+Added: In addition, we expect that it will take three to six months to complete the necessary customer pre-qualifications and
+Added: basic infrastructure and building designs required to negotiate a letter of intent with a customer that will lease all or a
+Added: substantial portion of our planned data center capacity.
+Added: We are currently in discussions with a number of companies that are

+Added: plan to start the design process for our initial data center in the beginning of May 2024 and to have plans and permit packages completed
+Added: by the end of 2024.
+Added: If those components of Phase II are completed as planned, we would then start the initial phase of construction in
+Added: January of 2025.
+Added: we move through the development process we will continue to refine and finalize the courses of action needed to implement our business
+Added: plan and operations.
+Added: As a result, management has not fully determined our actual short-term or long-term capital requirements for our
+Added: initial project, which management expects to be substantial.
+Added: Data Center Industry
+Added: to a March 2023 report of Prescient & Strategic Intelligence Pvt.
+Added: Ltd., a market intelligence and consulting firm, the data
+Added: center industry is large and on pace to grow rapidly, from $263 billion in 2022 to over $602 billion in 2030 .
+Added: industry is not only large, but also very profitable.
+Added: According to Dgtl Infra LLC, a digital infrastructure advisory firm, the
+Added: larger data center developer/operator companies average 50% EBITDA on lease revenues.
+Added: Those that are publicly traded are valued at
+Added: an average of 25 times EBITDA .
+Added: key metric for the industry is the cost per kilowatt-of-power-per-month ($/kW/Mo.), which drives lease revenues.
+Added: According to the
+Added: Evercore Digital Infrastructure Sector Update for the third quarter of 2023 (the “Evercore Report”) of Evercore, a
+Added: leading global independent investment bank, hyperscale lease transactions (transactions involving the lease of 100MWs or more of
+Added: data center capacity) in the U.S.
+Added: are being consummated at $130/kW/Mo.
+Added: or higher vs.
+Added: $65-75 just three years ago, and some
+Added: wholesale colocation customers are paying as high as $165/kW/mo.
+Added: key metric in the data center industry is the kilowatt (kW) of power-per-data-center-rack (the density of power a cabinet of servers
+Added: or data storage systems consumes).
+Added: According to the Evercore Report, historically, this metric has averaged 8-10kW per rack over the
+Added: last ten years.
+Added: However, because of artificial intelligence (AI) and other high performance computing (HPC) requirements, data center
+Added: rack power densities are climbing upwards towards 100kW per rack.
+Added: These higher rack densities require liquid-cooled systems rather
+Added: than the conventional air-cooling methods that have been the standard for decades.
+Added: Based on an average rack density of 20-40kW per
+Added: rack, data center build costs over the last two to four years have averaged $10 to $15 million per megawatt.
+Added: However, today, because of the new power
+Added: and cooling requirements, build costs for data center developments are projected to be more in the range of $15 to $20 million per
+Added: a result of these changing dynamics, demand for data centers is intensive for both more facilities and greater power density.
+Added: Evercore Report it was noted that during the third quarter of 2023, every data center under construction was pre-leased two to five
+Added: years in advance of occupancy.
+Added: The key constraint for the growth of data centers is the availability of power.
+Added: However, in the
+Added: Evercore Report, Evercore, noted that during the third quarter of 2023, on a nationwide basis, there was no availability
+Added: of contiguous data center capacity above 10MW, and only three blocks of 5 MWs were available.
+Added: To illustrate the power constraint,
+Added: today’s data center developments start in increments of 100MW, while mega-campuses of 1GW or more are being
+Added: meet the growing demands of the digital world, it is projected by McKinsey & Company that the industry will increase energy
+Added: consumption from 17GW today to over 35GW by 2030.
+Added: This projected increase in demand for power
+Added: has left data center developers and operators searching for electricity in any region with available power, land for construction
+Added: and sufficient network bandwidth .
+Added: second consideration is the environmental impact of power generation and use.
+Added: Sustainability regulations are projected to become more
+Added: difficult to meet, and it is expected that using renewable energy credits (RECs) to offset carbon footprints of conventional power sources
+Added: will no longer qualify.
+Added: Today, less than 5% of the energy powering data centers is clean.
+Added: competition in the data center industry is primarily driven by the increasing presence of small- and large-scale service providers globally,
+Added: and we will compete with numerous developers, and public and private owners and operators of technology-related real estate and data
+Added: The key participants in the data center colocation market are Digital Realty, Equinix, CyrusOne, QTS, and, Vantage, Compass,
+Added: among many others.
+Added: In addition, we may face competition from other new entrants into the data center market.
+Added: Many of our current and
+Added: potential competitors may have significant advantages over us, including greater name recognition, longer operating histories, pre-existing
+Added: relationships with current or potential customers, significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources, ownership of more
+Added: data centers and data centers that are more broadly distributed geographically, access to less expensive power, and more robust interconnected
+Added: hubs in certain geographic markets.
+Added: All of these potential advantages could allow competitors to respond more quickly to new or changing
+Added: opportunities.
+Added: In addition, once we are operational, if our competitors offer space, power and/or interconnection services at rates below
+Added: current market rates, or below the rates we are then charging our customers, we may lose potential customers or be pressured to reduce
+Added: our rental rates below those we are then charging or have modelled in order to retain customers when our customers’ leases expire.
+Added: a new entrant into the data center marketplace, we will compete against the larger, more established and better capitalized companies
that today control the majority of market share.
−Removed: We believe our principal advantages will be our location, which provides us with
−Removed: access to an abundance of reasonably-priced local geothermal and solar energy to power a 24/7 data center operation, the various
−Removed: immersion and liquid cooled data center racking systems we will offer as a colocation service and our proximity to the Southern
