+Added: stock pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, however, there were delays that resulted in the options being issued and then

+Added: Yakov’s options it included amounts the Company had to capture related to options granted in prior

+Added: To audit this amount we had to obtain support for options issued as far back as 2018 and review the terms
+Added: and valuations of all grants.
+Added: testing the Company’s stock-based compensation was challenging, time consuming, and there was subjectivity involved with complex
+Added: auditor judgment due to the estimates that had to be tested, all of which resulted in significant audit effort.
+Added: As a result of our audit
+Added: procedures adjustments were recorded to ensure recorded equity and expense amounts were reasonable.
+Added: Combination (Note 7)
+Added: the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement that was accounted as a business
+Added: combination under ASC 805 which required the Company to determine the fair market value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and
+Added: the non-controlling interest.
+Added: this disclosure was considered material to the financial statements, we identified a risk of material misstatement related to this transaction.
+Added: In order to audit the Company’s business combination, we reviewed managements analysis of the transaction, obtained an understanding
+Added: of all aspects of the transaction, and completed our own detailed analysis of the accounting literature governing business combinations

+Added: dollars and such transactions have
+Added: inherent audit complexities associated with them.
+Added: The Company has entered into a third-party subscription agreement to monitor their

+Added: for earning bitcoin.
+Added: The Company has used significant judgment to determine its accounting for its bitcoin mining revenue and it took
+Added: significant time, effort, and subjectivity during our audit to ensure revenue and exchange transactions were properly stated.

+Added: testing to ensure we could rely on third party reports.
+Added: We corroborated recorded transactions with data recorded on public blockchain

+Added: Assets and Goodwill Impairment (Note 2 and Note 4)

+Added: and then by completing a recoverability test to compare the carrying value of each asset with the sum of the undiscounted cash flows
+Added: expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets, which can depend on estimates and assumptions.
+Added: If the carrying
+Added: amount is in excess of the undiscounted cash flows the Company calculates a fair value for the asset, which can also be based on subjectivity,
+Added: estimates, and judgments, and ensures the carrying amount is not in excess of its fair value.
+Added: Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level and compares the carrying amount of goodwill
+Added: to its fair value.
+Added: Accordingly, the Company has to use significant judgment, assumptions, and subjectivity to determine it reporting
+Added: units and the fair value of their goodwill.
+Added: As of December 31, 2023 the Company engaged a valuation specialist to assist with the fair
+Added: value calculations.
+Added: our audit we identified potential impairment as a risk of material misstatement, as the intangible assets and goodwill values had balances
+Added: and disclosures that were material to the financial statements.
+Added: In order to test the Company’s intangible asset for impairment,
+Added: we had to analyze each material intangible asset and use significant auditor judgment and subjectivity to review impairment indicators
+Added: based on Company operations and the nature of the intangible assets, review undiscounted cash flow amounts where we noted no significant
+Added: amounts that were necessary to test, and had to test fair value amounts by obtaining third party market data, which required significant
+Added: audit effort.
+Added: order to test the Company’s goodwill impairment, we had to use significant auditor judgement to gain comfort in the Company’s
+Added: reporting unit(s) by completing an overall analysis of the Company’s business and operations.
+Added: We also had to gain comfort with
+Added: the expertise and experience of the third-party valuation expert and review the techniques and valuation approach used by the expert
+Added: for reasonableness.
+Added: Lastly, we reviewed all inputs and/or underlying data used by the valuation expert to ensure the fair value associated
+Added: with the goodwill was reasonable.
+Added: and Equipment (Note 5)
+Added: the year ended December 31, 2023 the Company incurred significant costs related to the build out of their bitcoin mining warehouse and
+Added: an audit risk was identified related to the value and recoverability of their assets.
+Added: Significant audit effort was required to ensure
+Added: the property and equipment was recorded properly, that depreciation expense was reasonable, and that asset values were recoverable.
+Added: our audit we had to obtain sufficient corroborating evidence regarding the timing of asset receipt and the assets existence at the reporting
+Added: We also had to recalculate all depreciation amounts and complete a detailed impairment analysis which required auditor subjectivity.
+Added: We ensured the Company’s property and equipment was reasonably stated at its recoverable value and ensured the disclosures for
+Added: such were accurate.
