−Removed: the United States providing a social networking and entertainment venue for enthusiasts of movies, TV shows, video games, technology,
−Removed: toys, social networking, gaming, comic books, and graphic novels.
−Removed: Our Comic Conventions have provided an opportunity for companies
−Removed: in the entertainment, toy, gaming, publishing and retail business to carry out sales, marketing, product promotion, public relations,
−Removed: advertising, and sponsorship efforts.
−Removed: However, with the advent of Covid-19, the Company has not been able to produce a live event
−Removed: since March 8, 2020 in Cleveland, Ohio.
−Removed: Many events that had been planned for 2020 after March 8, 2020, were postponed indefinitely.
−Removed: The timing of when live events can be resumed is dependent upon the progression of the Covid-19 virus, the availability and effectiveness
−Removed: of the vaccines that have been introduced, and the imposition of governmental authority either allowing or disallowing the mounting
−Removed: of live events.
−Removed: The following information is provided in anticipation that the Company will be able to recommence its Comic Conventions
−Removed: in the future.
−Removed: Company began producing Comic Conventions in July of 1997.
−Removed: The Company receives revenue from its Comic Conventions primarily from
−Removed: three sources:
−Removed: (i) consumer admissions;
−Removed: (ii) exhibitor booth sales;
−Removed: and (iii) national and/or regional sponsorships.
−Removed: Comic Conventions
−Removed: vary in cost to produce.
−Removed: Production costs vary based on the size and scope of the production.
−Removed: Generally, our production costs
−Removed: range from under $1,000,000 for a smaller scale production to $3,000,000 for a larger production.

−Removed: (i) New Orleans, (ii) Portland;
−Removed: and (iii) Cleveland.
−Removed: that had been planned for St Louis, Philadelphia, Columbus, and Chicago were postponed in the face of the Pandemic.
−Removed: target audience includes men and women in the 18 to 34-year-old demographic, together with families of all ages who are fans of

−Removed: relating to our Comic Conventions in order to ensure that we produce the best possible fan experience at our Comic Conventions
−Removed: and maximize revenue while containing costs.
−Removed: and Promotions
−Removed: provide sponsorship opportunities that allow advertisers a wide range of promotional vehicles on-site and through our social media
−Removed: and fan outreach efforts.
−Removed: For example, we offer advertisers the ability to:
−Removed: (i) display signage at our Comic Conventions, (ii)
−Removed: include their desired logos on all direct mail that is sent in connection with one or more Comic Conventions, (iii) be included
−Removed: in press releases to the media, (iv) obtain sponsor tags on the radio spots or in the print or online ads where we advertise,
−Removed: and (v) obtain advertising space in our digital media.
−Removed: We also provide the opportunity for advertisers to sponsor events at the
−Removed: Comic Conventions, such as costume contests or gaming tournaments and the ability to brand “step-and-repeats”
−Removed: photo opportunities, meet and greets with celebrities, VIP packages, and giveaways.
−Removed: Sponsors pay a fee based upon the position
−Removed: of their advertising media and the exposure it will receive.
−Removed: We are able to increase our revenue by utilizing a strategic floor
−Removed: layout that maximizes the amount of highly profitable booth, advertising, and sponsorship opportunities.
−Removed: We are focused on increasing
−Removed: our sponsorship revenue and we are currently actively engaged in enhancing our capabilities in that regard.
−Removed: Our Comic Conventions are marketed through
−Removed: a variety of media outlets, including social media, websites, public relations, television, radio, out-of-home (OOH), email, “street-teams”,
−Removed: and by flyers, and postcards.
−Removed: Our Comic Conventions usually obtain publicity through coverage of the events at our Comic Conventions
−Removed: by local TV stations, radio stations, newspapers, national press, fan websites, blogs, and social network channels such as Twitter
−Removed: and Facebook,.
−Removed: In certain instances, we do not pay for advertising because we can provide desirable content to media outlets.
−Removed: For example, we typically invite local TV stations to our Comic Conventions so that they can interview the celebrities featured
−Removed: at our Comic Conventions.
−Removed: As a result, we receive TV coverage at no cost and the TV stations obtain content for their shows.
−Removed: addition, we arrange for celebrities to call into local radio stations.
−Removed: As a result, we receive on-air promotion of our events
−Removed: and the radio station reaches a larger audience who want to tune in to hear our celebrities.
−Removed: We also receive on-air promotion
−Removed: by exchanging airtime for admission giveaways to our Comic Conventions.
−Removed: With respect to the internet and online advertising, we
−Removed: advertise throughout our website www.wizardworld.com about upcoming Comic Conventions.
−Removed: We also send out emails to our fans on
−Removed: a regular basis.
−Removed: Comic Conventions are attended primarily by men and women in the 18 to 34-year-old demographic, together with families of all
−Removed: ages who are fans of various types of entertainment and media, including movies, music, toys, video games, consumer electronics,
−Removed: computers, and lifestyle products (e.g., clothes, footwear, digital devices, and mobile phones).
−Removed: We are seeking to develop a positive
−Removed: reputation for hosting quality events in order to build brand loyalty among our show attendees and ensure repeat attendance.
−Removed: Sponsors and Exhibitors
−Removed: identify and target some of the leading movie studios, video game producers, comic book publishers, television broadcasters, and
−Removed: toy manufacturers as future exhibitors and sponsors.
−Removed: In addition, our digital media business will provide sales opportunities
−Removed: across the Fortune 1000 corporate sector, as these brand advertisers look to leverage our media properties to reach our target
−Removed: No single advertiser, promoter or sponsor comprises a significant portion of our revenues.
−Removed: Competitive Strengths
−Removed: the live, regionally-based consumer conventions market, the strength of a competitor is measured by the location and size of the
−Removed: region or city, the frequency of live events per year, the guest and VIP list (e.g., celebrities and artists), the number of paying
−Removed: attendees, the physical size of the convention, the extent of the public relations outreach (through traditional media, digital
−Removed: media and social media), and the quantity and quality of exhibitors and dealers.
−Removed: We believe that we have a strong competitive
−Removed: position because our Comic Conventions take place in well-known major cities across the United States throughout the year.
−Removed: strategy of providing multiple conventions per year enables us to market our events throughout the entire year, create a large
−Removed: amount of high-quality content that can be distributed through our digital media outlets, and market in not only the regional
−Removed: consumer areas, but nationally as well.
−Removed: The multiple locations also allow us to work with more celebrities, artists and writers
−Removed: and host them in multiple cities.
−Removed: are a number of Comic Convention providers that produce events across the country.
−Removed: We are unique in that we produce more Comic
−Removed: Conventions in the United States annually than any other organization.
−Removed: We reach audiences coast-to-coast, north-to-south markets
−Removed: in the United States.
−Removed: We believe that creates an advantage over other event producers because our Comic Conventions are not limited
−Removed: to one city, but rather span well-known cities across the United States.
−Removed: also believe that we have an advantage over competitors because our Comic Conventions are well known and well respected in the
−Removed: Comic Convention and pop culture industry.
−Removed: We have a reputation among fans, exhibitors, and celebrities for producing high-quality
−Removed: and well attended Comic Conventions that provide consumers with a good value proposition for an entertainment experience.

−Removed: required permits and cover fire safety and occupancy matters as part of the rental agreement.
−Removed: Crowd control varies by location
−Removed: and is either provided by the convention center’s personnel or by a third-party security service recommended by the convention
−Removed: The convention centers do, however, require liability insurance, which Conventions has obtained and maintained.
−Removed: World Virtual
−Removed: Wizard World’s last live event in Cleveland in early March of 2020, the Company transitioned nimbly to a Virtual
−Removed: Event Format that went from concept to execution in three weeks, with our first Virtual event held on March 31, 2020.

+Added: Road Miners, Inc.
+Added: (formerly known as Wizard Brands, Inc., Wizard Entertainment, Inc., Wizard World, Inc., and GoEnergy, Inc.) was incorporated
+Added: in Delaware on May 2, 2001.
+Added: Prior to Cryptocurrency mining operations that began in October 2021, the Company produced live and virtual
+Added: pop culture conventions and events, and sold a gelatin machine and related consumables (known collectively as “legacy operations”).
+Added: All legacy operations were discontinued during 2021.
+Added: The Company operates an eCommerce site selling pop culture memorabilia and will
+Added: evaluate whether to continue the eCommerce operations in 2022.
+Added: Cryptocurrency
+Added: currently generate substantially all our revenue through cryptocurrency we earn through our mining activities, which we may strategically
+Added: hold or sell at beneficial prices and times.
+Added: We currently mine and hold Bitcoin exclusively and do not have the intention of mining any
+Added: other cryptocurrencies in the near future.
+Added: While we plan to hold our mined Bitcoin until the next halving event (expected to occur around
+Added: March 2024), we may sell the Bitcoin we mine as necessary for operations or as dictated by market conditions.
+Added: Our mining operations commenced
+Added: on October 24, 2021.
+Added: We use special cryptocurrency mining computers (known as “miners”) to solve complex cryptographic algorithms
+Added: to support the Bitcoin blockchain and, in return, receive Bitcoin as our reward.
+Added: Miners measure their processing power, which is known
+Added: as “hashing” power, in terms of the number of hashing algorithms solved (or “hashes”) per second, which is the
+Added: miner’s “hash rate.” We participate in Mining Pools (“mining pool”) that pool the resources of groups of
+Added: miners and split cryptocurrency rewards earned according to the “hashing” capacity each miner contributes to the mining pool.
+Added: of the miners we operate were manufactured by Bitmain, and incorporate application-specific integrated circuit (“ASIC”) chips
+Added: specialized to solve blocks on the Bitcoin blockchains using the 256-bit secure hashing algorithm (“SHA-256”) in return for
+Added: Bitcoin cryptocurrency rewards.
+Added: In October 2021 we put 156 Bitmain S19J Pro miners into production, and added another 84 into production
+Added: in December 2021.
+Added: As of December 31, 2021, we had 240 miners with 24 Ph/s of hashing capacity in production, and had deposits for an
+Added: additional 1,140 miners with 135.3 Ph/s hashing capacity to be delivered in 2022 as follows:
+Added: Bitmain S19 (90 Th/s per miner, total 24.3 Ph/s hashing capacity);
+Added: delivery expected March 2022
+Added: Bitmain S19J Pro (100 Th/s per miner, total 27 Ph/s hashing capacity);
+Added: delivery expected May 2022
+Added: Bitmain S19XP (140 Th/s per miner, total 84 Ph/s hashing capacity);
+Added: delivery expected July through December 2022
+Added: the delivery of the miners above we will have a total of 1,380 miners with 159.3 Ph/s of hashing capacity.
+Added: purchase commitments for the miners total approximately $11.5 million, of which $7,089,000 was paid as a deposit during the year ending
+Added: The remaining commitments of approximately $4.4 million are anticipated to be paid monthly from the proceeds of the
+Added: sale of earned Bitcoin during the year ending December 31, 2022 or, if necessary or advisable, with earned Bitcoin to the extent that
+Added: if the vendor accepts Bitcoin as a form of payment or from additional capital raising, which may be debt or equity, or a combination
+Added: thereof pursuant to a private or public offering, with the last payment scheduled to occur on November 10, 2022.
+Added: utilize mobile data centers to house our miners.
+Added: Our mobile data centers are located close to natural gas wellheads.
+Added: We use natural gas
+Added: to power a mobile turbine that produces electricity that, in turn, is used to power our miners.
+Added: Company measures its operations by the number and U.S.
+Added: Dollar (US$) value of the cryptocurrency rewards it earns from its cryptocurrency
+Added: mining activities.
+Added: The following table presents additional information regarding our cryptocurrency mining operations:
+Added: Quantity of Bitcoin
+Added: Balance December 31, 2020
+Added: Revenue recognized from cryptocurrency mined
+Added: Mining pool operating fees
+Added: Impairment of cryptocurrencies
+Added: Balance December 31, 2021
+Added: Affecting Profitability
+Added: business is heavily dependent on the market price of Bitcoin.
+Added: The prices of cryptocurrencies, specifically Bitcoin, have experienced
+Added: substantial volatility.
+Added: Further affecting the industry, and particularly for the Bitcoin blockchain, the cryptocurrency reward for solving
+Added: a block is subject to periodic incremental halving.
+Added: Halving is a process designed to control the overall supply and reduce the risk of
+Added: inflation in cryptocurrencies using a Proof-of-Work consensus algorithm.
+Added: At a predetermined block, the mining reward is cut in half,
+Added: hence the term “halving.” For Bitcoin the reward was initially set at 50 Bitcoin currency rewards per block.
+Added: blockchain has undergone halving three times since its inception as follows:
+Added: (1) on November 28, 2012 at block 210,000;
+Added: (2) on July 9,
+Added: 2016 at block 420,000;
+Added: and (3) on May 11, 2020 at block 630,000, when the reward was reduced to its current level of 6.25 Bitcoin per
+Added: The next halving for the Bitcoin blockchain is anticipated to occur in March 2024 at block 840,000, when the reward will be reduced
+Added: to 3.125 Bitcoin per block.
+Added: This process will reoccur until the total amount of Bitcoin currency rewards issued reaches 21 million and
+Added: the theoretical supply of new Bitcoin is exhausted.
+Added: Many factors influence the price of Bitcoin, and potential increases or decreases
+Added: in prices in advance of, or following, a future halving is unknown.
+Added: we currently plan to hold our mined Bitcoin until the next halving event, we may use or sell our Bitcoin as necessary for operations
+Added: or as dictated by market conditions.
+Added: business environment is constantly evolving, and cryptocurrency miners can range from individuals to large-scale commercial mining operations.
+Added: We compete with other companies that focus all or a portion of their activities on mining activities at scale, including several public
+Added: and private companies.
+Added: We face significant competition in every aspect of our business, including, but not limited to, the acquisition
+Added: of mining equipment, the ability to raise capital, and the ability to obtain the lowest cost energy to power our mining operations.
+Added: Cryptocurrency
+Added: is increasingly becoming subject to governmental regulation, both in the U.S.
+Added: and internationally.
+Added: State and local regulations also may
+Added: apply to our activities and other activities in which we may participate in the future.
+Added: Numerous regulatory bodies have shown an interest
+Added: in regulating blockchain or cryptocurrency activities.
+Added: For example, on March 9, 2022 President Biden signed an executive order on cryptocurrencies.
+Added: While the executive order does not mandate any specific regulations, it instructs various federal agencies to consider potential regulatory
+Added: measures, including the evaluation of the creation of a U.S.
+Added: Central Bank digital currency.
+Added: Future changes to existing regulations or
+Added: entirely new regulations may affect our business in ways it is not presently possible for us to predict with any reasonable degree of
+Added: As the regulatory and legal environment evolves, we may become subject to new laws and regulation which may affect our mining
+Added: and other activities.
+Added: For additional discussion regarding our belief about the potential risks existing and future regulation pose to
+Added: our business, see the Section entitled “Risk Factors” herein.
+Added: do not currently own any patents in connection with our existing and planned blockchain and cryptocurrency related operations.
+Added: and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
+Added: of December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,785,187, compared to $1,897,703 as of December 31, 2020, an increase of
+Added: This increase was primarily due to cash provided by financing activities, and partially offset by cash used in operating and
+Added: investing activities.
+Added: Historically,
+Added: we have relied upon cash from financing activities to fund substantially all of the cash requirements of our activities and have incurred
+Added: significant losses and experienced negative cash flow.
+Added: The Company had net losses from continuing operations of $19,078,727, and $2,901,741,
+Added: for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
+Added: On December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately
+Added: $2.7 million and working capital of approximately $4.8 million.
+Added: We have evaluated the significance of these conditions in relation to
+Added: our ability to meet our obligations, which had previously raised doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
+Added: However, the Company believes that the effects of the sale of its legacy operations during 2021, and the entrance into cryptocurrency
+Added: mining operations that began in October 2021, will guide the Company in a positive direction as we continue to strive to attain profitability.
Additionally,
−Removed: autographs and videos are being sold.
−Removed: March 2021, Wizard World Virtual launched its Subscription Series —
−Removed: the next generation of the Wizard World Virtual Platform,

−Removed: To a large extent we also use our website www.wizardworld.com
−Removed: to provide the latest Wizard World news and information.

−Removed: This in turn helps us obtain additional admissions,
−Removed: booth sales and sponsorships for our Comic Conventions.

−Removed: posts on Facebook, our attending artists and celebrities are able to help promote our Comic Conventions by announcing their involvement
−Removed: at our events.
−Removed: This helps generate excitement among both their existing fan base and ours while creating a sense of community
−Removed: and groundswell of support for the upcoming Comic Convention.
−Removed: Once we establish a critical mass of people, the Comic Convention
−Removed: can become part of the fabric of the community where people anticipate and look forward to the event months and sometimes even
−Removed: a full year in advance.
−Removed: Retention of Comic Convention attendees is essential to our sales process.
−Removed: Procuring new and timely talent
−Removed: helps generate new customers, as well as the word of mouth of previous attendees.
−Removed: Much of this is achieved via email, Facebook,
−Removed: Twitter, and www.wizardworld.com.
−Removed: many live events (sports, concerts, etc.), where attendees are spectators (even if they are a part of a community at large), at
−Removed: our Comic Conventions the attendees participate in the events.
−Removed: This atmosphere creates a greater amount of user generated
−Removed: content on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.
−Removed: For instance, we generally observe an increase in Facebook “Likes”
−Removed: on profile picture changes on Facebook the days during and after our Comic Conventions featuring celebrity “Photo Ops.”
−Removed: This is a non-paid form of free advertising.
−Removed: Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter are a perfect marriage for these types
−Removed: of event photos.

+Added: By directing income from oil and excess natural
+Added: gas sales to cover operating expenses we will have the opportunity to retain our mined cryptocurrencies as assets.
+Added: To achieve our objectives,
+Added: we have developed and are implementing a Five Cornerstone Strategy comprised of:
+Added: I – Vertical Integration
+Added: continuity through ownership of fuel supply, eliminate middlemen and distributors, generate electricity independent of a stressed power
+Added: grid and avoid any potential forthcoming governmental regulations.
+Added: We expect this will enable us to:
+Added: continuity and security – Control of our electrical generation insures and ensures uninterrupted service while insulating our
+Added: operations from third party controls, the regulated utility grid, and unforeseen failures.
+Added: profitability – Vertical integration, beginning at the well head and ending in our crypto wallet, eliminates middlemen and
+Added: distributors optimizing profits across the entire operation.
+Added: grid independence - Utility grids are struggling to deliver reliability as they attempt to balance base load with increasing numbers
+Added: of renewable generators.
+Added: We believe this will only get more difficult in the future as society undergoes the transition to “electrify
+Added: everything” thereby increasing grid instability, blackouts and disgruntled consumers.
+Added: By us not having any energy produced
+Added: touching infrastructure or the utility grid, this risk is muted.
+Added: regulatory buffers - The sector may experience increased governmental oversight and regulation of power producers that provide energy
+Added: to the grid, only exacerbating continuity problems.
+Added: By us not having any energy produced touching infrastructure or the utility grid,
+Added: this risk is muted.
+Added: control of its ESG Strategy – We believe that a vertical integration strategy enables us to have full control of our ESG strategy
+Added: (Described below).
+Added: II – Energy Source Diversity
+Added: development will be sized and engineered to work in harmony with the inherent diversity found within its owned oil and gas operating
+Added: Our modular approach to both power and server implementation allows a customized, fit-for-purpose design to be implemented
+Added: for each situation.
+Added: We expect this will enable us to:
+Added: the concentration risk of reliance on any single energy production source.
+Added: We would rather have 100 natural gas wells feeding five
+Added: 20 MW systems as compared to siting a much larger single 100 MW system next to a substation that is sourced by a single hydro facility
+Added: or coal fired plant connected to the utility grid.
+Added: continuity of operations – maximize number of miners online 24/7.
+Added: Multiple energy sources mitigate interruption risk and if
+Added: problems do occur, the impact of any downtime is limited to a small percentage of operating miners.
+Added: III – Geographic Diversity
+Added: look to deploy facilities at geographically diverse locations that will mitigate concentration risk due to weather and market- related
+Added: disruptions, and minimize the impact of an ever changing regulatory and political complications.
+Added: We expect this will enable us to:
+Added: risks associated with interruptions and outages, whether due to weather, disasters, or lost connectivity.
+Added: differentials in energy pricing across geographic regions
+Added: IV – Cryptocurrency Diversity
+Added: utilizing remotely accessible UL certified data centers capable of handling AICS and GPUs, in the coming years we expect this will enable
+Added: nimble and a first mover in this ever changing and young cryptocurrency market
+Added: cryptocurrency volatility.
+Added: pivot to the most profitable currency.
+Added: V – Revenue Diversity
+Added: our vertical integration and potential ownership of oil and gas operations, we realize the benefit of having multiple non-correlated
+Added: revenue streams derived from both conventional oil and gas sales, as well as converting gas molecules into crypto currency via our digital
+Added: We expect this will enable us to:
+Added: all operating expenses utilizing revenue generated from other commodity sales.
+Added: treasury status of mined cryptocurrencies;
+Added: offering control over when to sell and hedge.
+Added: revenue risk across multiple commodities.
+Added: Environmental,
+Added: Social and Governance (“ESG”)
+Added: deploying our Five Cornerstone Strategy and achieving its objectives, we expect to have a constant focus on ESG.
+Added: Divided into three phases,
+Added: we have begun implanting Phase 1 and Phase II.
+Added: natural gas as opposed to coal assets.
+Added: data centers near natural gas production thereby reducing the energy required to transport molecules and electrons to cryptocurrency
+Added: data centers.
+Added: gas opportunities – locate mining facilities near these natural gas production sites.
+Added: energy (wind or solar) – identify geographical locations where renewable energy possibilities exist and can supplement the
+Added: natural gas requirements while generating renewable electricity credits.
+Added: capture / Carbon credits – possibility of creating carbon credits
+Added: with recycling efforts and use syngas (synthetic gas)
+Added: are subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
+Added: The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our
+Added: business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as the responses that we, other businesses and governments are taking continue
+Added: Furthermore, capital markets and economies worldwide have also been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is
+Added: possible that it could cause a local and/or global economic recession.
+Added: Policymakers around the globe have responded with fiscal policy
+Added: actions to support the healthcare industry and economy as a whole.
+Added: The magnitude and overall effectiveness of these actions remain uncertain.
+Added: severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the
+Added: duration and severity of the pandemic and the extent and severity of the impact on our customers, service providers and suppliers, all
+Added: of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.
+Added: As of the date of issuance of our financial statements, the extent to which the COVID-19
+Added: pandemic may in the future materially impact our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations is uncertain.
+Added: of March 24, 2022, we had 5 full time employees.
