Digihost Technology Inc.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023

(Expressed in United States Dollars) (Unaudited)

 

 

1. Nature of operations and going concern

 

Digihost Technology Inc. (the “Company” or “Digihost”) was incorporated in British Columbia, Canada, on February 18, 2017 as Chortle Capital Corp and subsequently changed its name to HashChain Technology Inc. on September 18, 2017, and again to Digihost Technology Inc. on February 14, 2020. Digihost and its subsidiaries, Digihost International, Inc., DGX Holding, LLC, and World Generation X, LLC (together the “Company”) is a blockchain technology company with operations in cryptocurrency mining and also a supplier of energy through its recent acquisition of a power plant. The head office of the Company is located at 2830 Produce Row, Houston, TX, 77023.

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company were reviewed, approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on November 13, 2023.

 

Going Concern

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assume that the Company will continue in operation and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to twelve months from the end of the reporting period. The use of these principles may not be appropriate.

 

As at September 30, 2023, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $2,256,284 (2022 - working capital of $2,874,560) and did not generate positive cashflows from its operations since its incorporation. The current working capital is not sufficient to meet the Company’s requirements and business growth initiatives. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability generate positive cashflows from its operations and to raise additional financing. Even if the Company has been successful in the past in raising financings, there is no assurance that it will manage to obtain additional financing in the future.

 

These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments or disclosures that may be necessary should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern. If this were the case, these adjustments could be material.

 

2. Significant accounting policies

 

(a) Statement of compliance

 

The Company applies IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.

 

The policies applied in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of November 13, 2023, the date the Board of Directors approved the statements. The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as compared with the most recent annual financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2023 could result in restatement of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

(Expressed in United States Dollars) (Unaudited)

 

 

2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

(b) Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Company.

 

At the date of authorization of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, several new, but not yet effective, standards and amendments to existing standards, and interpretations have been published by the IASB. None of these standards or amendments to existing standards have been adopted early by the Company. Management anticipates that all relevant pronouncements will be adopted for the first period beginning on or after the effective date of the pronouncement. New standards, amendments and interpretations not adopted in the current year have not been disclosed as they are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

 

(c) Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

 

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These financial statements include estimates that, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimate is revised and future years if the revision affects both current and future years. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

 

Significant assumptions about the future that management has made that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made are the same as the most recent annual financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022. New significant judgments in the quarter are as follows:

 

Business combination

 

Judgement is required to determine if the Company’s acquisition represent a business combination or an asset purchase. For an acquisition to qualify as a business combination, the assets acquired are required to be an integrated set of activities with inputs, processes and outputs. For acquisitions that represent the purchase of assets, no goodwill is recognized on the transactions and acquisition costs are capitalized to the assets purchased rather than expensed. As the Company concluded that the acquisition of the power plant (note 4) was a business combination, an allocation of the purchase price to the individual identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the date of purchase is required. The fair values of the net assets acquired are calculated using significant estimates and judgments. If estimates or judgments differed, this could result in a materially different allocation of net assets on the consolidated statement of financial position.

 

In a business combination, substantially all identifiable assets and liabilities acquired are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. One of the most significant areas of judgment and estimation relates to the determination of the fair value of these assets and liabilities. If any intangible assets are identified, depending on the type of intangible asset and the complexity of determining its fair value, an independent external valuation expert may develop the fair value, using appropriate valuation techniques, which are generally based on a forecast of the total expected future net cash flows. These valuations are linked closely to the assumptions made by management regarding the future performance of the assets concerned and any changes in the discount rate applied. In certain circumstances where estimates have been made, the Company may obtain third-party valuations of certain assets, which could result in further refinement of the fair-value allocation of certain purchase prices and accounting adjustments.

14. Warrant liabilities

 

Due to the characteristics of certain warrants, the fixed-for-fixed condition is not met. Therefore the Company records these warrants as financial liabilities measured at fair value upon initial recognition. At each subsequent reporting date, the warrants are re-measured at fair value and the change in fair value is recognized through profit or loss. Upon warrant exercise, the fair value previously recognized in warrant liabilities is transferred from warrant liabilities to share capital.

 

The following table summarizes the changes in the warrant liabilities for the Company’s warrants for the period ending September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

The Warrants have an exercise price of CAD$6.25 per share and exercise period of three and one-half years from the issuance date. A fair value of $7,007,643 was assigned to the warrants. The Pre-Funded Warrants were assigned a fair value of $1,022,915 based on the cash received and are accounted for as financial liabilities at amortized cost. The Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised in September 2022, the financial liability together with the cash received of $30 and initial issuance costs was then accounted as an increase in share capital of $927,463.

15. Share capital (continued)

 

In connection with the private placement, the investor has agreed to cancel existing warrants to purchase 1,248,440 common subordinate voting shares of the Company at an exercise price of CAD$9.42 per share issued in March 16, 2021 expiring on March 16, 2024 and the existing warrants to purchase 1,781,308 common subordinate voting shares of the Company at an exercise price of CAD$7.11 issued in April 9, 2021 expiring on April 9, 2025. The cancellation was considered as part of the proceeds of the above mentioned private placement and was accounted for as an increase in share capital of $5,887,616 for total proceeds from the private placement of $15,255,979.

 

H.C. Wainwright & Co. acted as the exclusive placement agent and received cash commission and expenses totalling $1,080,584 and 242,380 non-transferable broker warrants. Each broker warrant entitles the holder to purchase one subordinate voting share at an exercise price of CAD$6.25 at any time for a period of three and one-half years from the issuance date. The broker warrants were assigned a fair value of $535,009 for total issuance costs of $1,615,593 of which $695,170 is recorded in net income as the cost of issuance of the warrants classified as liabilities and $102,138 in reduction of the Pre-Funded Warrants.

 

The grant date fair value of $535,009 for the 242,380 broker warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions and inputs: share price of CAD$3.78; exercise price of CAD$6.25; expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 136% which is based on comparable companies; risk-free interest rate of 1.62%; and an expected average life of three and one-half years.

 

(iii) During May 2022, the Company received approval to undertake, at the Company’s discretion, a normal course issuer bid program to purchase up to 1,219,762 of its subordinate voting shares for cancellation. As at September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 165,200 subordinate voting shares for a total repurchase price of $255,525.

24. Financial instruments and risk management

 

Fair value

 

The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, mortgage payable and deposit payable approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature. Mortgage payable and deposit payable are due to arm’s length third parties, the fair values of these payables are measured using relevant market input (Level 3). The fair values of mortgage payable and deposit payable was calculated using actualized cash flows using market rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Reasonable changes to key assumptions would not have a significant impact. Promissory note receivable is due from an arm’s length third party, the fair value of this note are measured using relevant market input (Level 3). Digital currencies, amount owing to Northern Data and loan payable are measured at fair value using the quoted price on CoinMarketCap (Level 2). Warrant liabilities are measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes pricing model (Level 2) (see note 14).

 

Risks

 

Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is on its cash, amounts receivable and promissory note receivable. The cash is deposited in a bank account held with one major bank in the United States so there is a concentration of credit risk. This risk is managed by using a major bank that is a high credit quality financial institution as determined by rating agencies. The Company believes no impairment is necessary in respect of amounts receivable and promissory note receivable as balances are monitored on a regular basis with the result that exposure to bad debt is insignificant.

 

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining cash balances to ensure that it is able to meet its short term and long-term obligations as and when they fall due. The Company manages cash projections and regularly updates projections for changes in business and fluctuations cause in digital currency prices and exchange rates.

 

The following table summarizes the expected maturity of the Company’s significant financial liabilities and other liabilities based on the remaining period from the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date:

Foreign currency risk

 

Currency risk relates to the risk that the fair values or future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Exchange rate fluctuations affect the costs that the Company incurs in its operations.

 

The Company’s functional and presentation currency is the US dollar. As the Company operates in an international environment, some of the Company’s financial instruments and transactions are denominated in currencies other than an entity’s functional currency. The fluctuation of the Canadian dollar in relation to the US dollar will consequently impact the profitability of the Company and may also affect the value of the Company’s assets and liabilities and the amount of shareholders’ equity. As at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the foreign currency risk was considered minimal.

 

Digital currency risk

 

Digital currency prices are affected by various forces including global supply and demand, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation and the global political and economic conditions. The profitability of the Company is directly related to the current and future market price of digital currencies; in addition, the Company may not be able liquidate its holdings of digital currencies at its desired price if required. A decline in the market prices for digital currencies could negatively impact the Company’s future operations. The Company has not hedged the conversion of any of its sales of digital currencies.

 

Digital currencies have a limited history and the fair value historically has been very volatile. Historical performance of digital currencies is not indicative of their future price performance. The Company’s digital currencies currently consist of Bitcoin and Ethereum.

 

At September 30, 2023, had the market price of the Company’s holdings of Bitcoin and Ethereum increased or decreased by 10% with all other variables held constant, the corresponding asset value increase or decrease respectively would amount to $46,589 (December 31, 2022 - $280,066).

DIGIHOST TECHNOLOGY INC.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023

 

Mining operation and network overview

 

Revenue from the Company’s Bitcoin mining operation is recognized based upon the average Bitcoin price in effect on the day the Bitcoins are mined. Bitcoins are received within in a 24-hour period from the actual time they are mined. The Bitcoin price is volatile and can change markedly from day to day. This volatility in price can result in material changes in revenue recorded from period to period.

 

Network mining difficulty is one of the most significant competitive conditions the Company faces in its Bitcoin mining operation. Network difficulty is a unitless measure of how difficult it is to find a hash below a given target. Network difficulty is impacted directly by the price of Bitcoin. As the price of Bitcoin increases network mining difficulty may increase if more competitors begin to mine Bitcoin, which would result in a decrease in the number of Bitcoins mined by the Company based upon its existing computing power. As network difficulty rises the costs to the Company to mine Bitcoin also rises.

 

The Bitcoin network protocol automatically adjusts network difficulty by changing the target every 2,016 blocks hashed based on the time it took for the total computing power used in Bitcoin mining to solve the previous 2,016 blocks such that the average time to solve each block is maintained as close to ten minutes as possible. Price and network difficulty are positively correlated such that as the price of Bitcoin rises, there is an added incentive for miners to enter the market, and such increase in miners typically has a proportional increase in network difficulty.

 

With respect to the conversion of the Company’s Bitcoin to cash, the Company relies on a third-party service provider to broker sales of its mined Bitcoin. In 2022, the Company began to monetize a portion of Bitcoin mined to fund the Company’s operating costs and SG&A expenses, thereby mitigating the need to access equity markets to fund those costs and expenses. This strategy has continued during the entirety of 2023 to date.

Updates and Expansion

 

On February 7, 2023, the Company announced that it had completed the acquisition of a 60 MW power plant in North Tonawanda, NY. Further to the Company’s initial news release on March 24, 2021, the terms of the acquisition were amended to reflect an all-cash purchase price. No shares of the Company were issued in connection with the acquisition.

 

The acquisition represents a significant milestone in the Company’s ongoing infrastructure expansion strategy. As a result of the acquisition, the Company’s current operating capacity is close to 100MW representing approximately 2 EH of computing power. The generator capacity will continue flexible operation to ensure that 24/7 dispatchable supply is made available to area residents, businesses and industry to mitigate impacts of power interruptions in concert with directives of the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO).

 

Green Initiative

 

Currently, 90% of the energy consumed by Digihost’s two locations in New York State is received from generating sources that create zero-carbon emissions, with more than 50% of the energy consumed being generated from renewable sources. As Digihost brings online its own power generation facility, the Company will focus on powering this facility using “bridge” power sources for low-carbon or renewable sources of energy where available. Additionally, the Company will also explore CO2 emission capture technology available in the market.

 

Current Carbon-Neutrality Efforts & Initiatives include:

 

100% Carbon Neutral: Digihost plans for 100% of its operations to achieve carbon neutrality with a net-zero footprint by the end of 2025, and 100% renewable by 2030.

 

Digigreen Initiative: A Digihost initiative focused on immediate steps to create sustainable, environmentally, and economically sound in-house practices, distinguishing the Company as an industry leader in lowering/eliminating its carbon footprint while maintaining profitability.

 

Crypto Climate Accord: Digihost has joined a private sector-led initiative for the entire crypto community focused on decarbonizing the cryptocurrency industry in record time.

 

Proof of Green: Digihost has begun initial research into developing proprietary standards for measuring the Company’s carbon impact. Using these standards as an environmental audit tool for the various operations, we will be able to generate accountability reports and to advise Directors and Shareholders on efforts to minimize the Company’s carbon footprint.

 

At-the-Market Offering

 

On March 4, 2022, the Company entered into an offering agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC as agent (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the Company established an at-the-market equity program (the “ATM Program”). From the commencement of the ATM Program through September 30, 2023, the Company issued 386,463 subordinate voting shares in exchange for gross proceeds of $701,316, at an average share price of $1.81, and received net proceeds of $673,855 after paying commissions of $21,040 to the Agent and incurring $6,421 of other transaction fees.

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 107,418 subordinate voting shares in exchange for gross proceeds of $240,245, at an average share price of $2.11, and received net proceeds of $231,714 after paying commissions of $7,207 to the Agent and incurring $1,324 of other transaction fees.

NCIB

 

During May 2022, Digihost announced that it had received approval to undertake, at the Company’s discretion, a normal course issuer bid program (“NCIB”) in Canada to purchase up to 1,219,762 of its subordinate voting shares for cancellation. The NCIB was commenced due to the fact that, from time to time, the Company may consider that the market price of its subordinate voting shares do not accurately reflect the underlying value of the Company’s business. The NCIB expired on May 25, 2023. Pursuant to the NCIB, the Company repurchased 165,200 subordinate voting shares for a total repurchase price of $255,525.

 

Custodial services for digital currencies

 

The Company has a digital custody account with Gemini Trust Company, LLC (Gemini). Gemini is a digital currency exchange and custodian that allows customers to buy, sell, and store its digital assets. Gemini holds 100% of the Company’s cryptocurrency assets in hot storage. Gemini is not a related party of the Company. The Company is not aware of anything with regards to Gemini’s operations that would adversely affect the Company’s ability to obtain an unqualified audit opinion on its audited financial statements.

 

The Company has chosen to hold its full inventory of Company’s cryptocurrency assets with Gemini due to its track record in the industry. Gemini is a New York trust company regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services and is the foreign equivalent of a Canadian financial institution (as that term is defined in National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemption). Gemini is a qualified custodian under New York Banking Law and is licensed by the State of New York to custody digital assets. Gemini has not appointed a sub-custodian to hold any of the Company’s cryptocurrencies. Gemini has US$200 million in cold storage insurance coverage backing its digital asset custody, one of the highest levels of regulatory certifications in the market and US$90 million in hot storage insurance. Although the Company has historically utilized both cold and hot storage for its digital crypto assets with Gemini, the Company currently holds all its cryptocurrencies custodied with Gemini in hot storage.

 

The Company has conducted due diligence on Gemini and has not identified any material concerns. It routinely reviews and verifies its asset balances on public blockchain explorers. Management of the Company is not aware of any security breaches or other similar incidents involving Gemini that resulted in lost or stolen cryptocurrency assets. In the event of an insolvency or bankruptcy of Gemini, the Company would write off as losses any unrecoverable cryptocurrency assets.

 

In order to monitor Gemini, the Company relies on system and organization controls provided by a SOC 2 Type II report, which was undertaken by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent audit firm. A SOC 2 Type II certification and report are viewed as instrumental in providing verification to third parties that appropriate controls have been put in place to safeguard the Company’s cryptocurrency assets, specifically as it relates to having strict security and data protection processes and protocols.

 

In general, a SOC 2 Type II certification is issued by an outside auditor that evaluates the extent to which a vendor complies with five trust principles based on the systems and processes in place. These five principles include the following:

 

“Security”, which addresses the safeguarding of system resources and assets against unauthorized access;
   
“Availability”, which addresses the accessibility of the system as stipulated by the applicable service agreement between vendor and customer;
   
“Processing Integrity”, which addresses whether or not a system achieves its purpose;
   
“Confidentiality”, which addresses whether access and disclosure of data is restricted to a specified set of persons or organizations; and
   
“Privacy”, which addresses the system’s collection, use, retention, disclosure and disposal of personal information in conformity with an organization’s privacy notice.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023

 

The Company has elected to use Gemini as its sole custodian as Gemini compiles documented controls that can be provided to the Company, such as the SOC 2 Type II certification. The Company reviews the SOC 2 Type II report to ensure it maintains a secure technology infrastructure and the security systems designed to safeguard cryptocurrency assets are operating effectively. To date, the Company has not identified any material concerns based on its review of the SOC 2 Type II report.

 

Gemini maintains insurance coverage for the cryptocurrency held on behalf of the Company in its online hot wallet. The Company is in the process of looking to insure the remainder of its mined digital currency. Given the novelty of digital currency mining and associated businesses, insurance of this nature is generally not available, or is uneconomical for the Company to obtain, which leads to the risk of inadequate insurance cover.

 

On occasion, to mitigate third-party risk, the Company will hold a portion of its digital currencies in cold storage solutions that are not connected to the internet. The Company’s digital assets that are held in cold storage are stored in safety deposit boxes at a bank branch. The wallets in which the Company stores its cryptocurrency assets are not multi-signature wallets; however, the Company secures the 24-word seed phrase, which facilitates recovery of the wallets should the wallets become lost, stolen or damaged, by partitioning the seed phrase in multiple parts, and securing each part in a separate location. Each part of the seed phrase is stored in either a safe or safety deposit box, The Company replicates this security protocol by taking the same 24-word seed phrase, partitioning this into several parts and storing each part in a secure location in a separate safe or safety deposit box than was used for the first copy of the seed-phrase. This duplication ensures that the digital currencies held via cold storage solutions will be recoverable by the Company, should the Company’s cold-wallets become lost, stolen or damaged. During the quarter-ended September 30, 2023 and as of the date of this MD&A, all of the Company’s cryptocurrency assets are currently held in its Gemini wallets.

 

ADJUSTED EBITDA – NON-GAAP MEASURE

 

“Adjusted EBITDA” is a metric used by management which is income (loss) from operations, as reported, before interest, tax, and adjusted for removing other non-cash items, including, depreciation, and further adjusted to remove acquisition related costs, share based compensation costs, and unusual/non-recurring expenses. Management believes “Adjusted EBITDA” is a useful financial metric to assess its operating performance on a cash basis before the impact of non-cash items and acquisition related activities.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023

 

Revenue

 

Revenue from Bitcoin mining was $4,387,142 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $3,735,014 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The Company also recognized revenue from the sale of energy of $969,921 in Q3, 2023 compared to nil in Q2, 2022.

 

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, the Company mined approximately 156 Bitcoins at an average Bitcoin price of US$28,091 (from CoinMarketCap) compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, in which the Company mined approximately 203 Bitcoins at an average price of Bitcoin of US$21,252 (from CoinMarketCap).

 

The most significant factors impacting the increase in the Company’s revenues in Q3 2023 versus Q3 2022 was the increase in average Bitcoin price mentioned above, which was partly offset by the decline in Bitcoins mined. Additionally, in the current period, the Company was not contractually obligated to remit any of these coins back to partners pursuant to hosting agreements and recognized approximately $1 million due to the sale of energy.

 

Cost of Sales

 

The Company’s cost of sales was $7,887,976 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, compared to $7,496,022 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022.

 

Cost of sales remained relatively consistent on a year over year basis, as a decrease in expense related to the Company’s miner lease and hosting agreement was partly offset by an increase in the cost of power and depreciation and amortization expense. Miner and lease hosting agreement expense decreased by $1,021,837 as the Company’s prior agreements expired during Q1 2023. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $770,899 in Q3 2023 as compared to Q3 2022 as electrical infrastructure assets at the new power plant were placed into service during Q2 2022. Energy and infrastructure expenses associated with the cost of power increased by $682,654 due primarily to the energy costs associated with the facility in Alabama that were not present in Q2 2022. Cost of power plant operations of $635,433 were incurred in Q3 2023 as compared to nil in Q3, 2022.

 

General, Administrative & Other Expenses

 

The Company’s general and administrative expenses were $586,552 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, compared to a positive to expense of $1,823,996 in the same period of 2022.

 

The primary drivers in the current period versus the quarter ended September 30, 2022, were due to:

 

Loss of revaluation of digital currencies in the prior period of $2,111,824 (2023: gain of $5,708).

 

Change in fair value of amount owing for Miner Lease Agreement in the prior period of $1,434,627 (2023: nil).
   
Gain on sale of digital currencies in the prior period of $600,105 (2023: loss of $12,800).
   
FX gain of $1,220,450 in the current period versus $3,728,973 in the prior period.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022:

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s net loss was $12,200,349 compared to net income of $14,071,248 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Highlights of the period include:

Revenue

 

Revenue from Bitcoin mining was $13,552,443 for the period ended September 30, 2023, compared to $18,507,951 for the period ended September 30, 2022. The Company also recognized revenue from the sale of energy of $1,779,131 for the period, compared to nil in 2022.

 

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, the Company mined 516 Bitcoins at an average Bitcoin price of US$26,353 (from CoinMarketCap) compared to the period ended September 30, 2022, in which the Company mined 642 Bitcoins at an average price of Bitcoin of US$31,610 (from CoinMarketCap). The most significant factors impacting the decrease in the Company’s revenues year to date 2023 versus the corresponding period in 2022 was the decline in average Bitcoin price mentioned above along with the temporary uptick in coins mined in the prior year due to the electrical testing phase of the infrastructure buildout at North Tonawanda (which briefly allowed Digihost to mine at a hashing rate of approximately 1 EH/s). This decline was partially offset by the recognition of approximately $1.8 million due to the sale of energy during the year-to-date 2023 period.

 

Cost of Sales

 

The Company’s cost of sales was $21,038,146 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, compared to $20,827,374 for the nine month-period ended September 30, 2022.

 

Cost of sales remained relatively consistent on a year over year basis, as a decrease in expense related to the Company’s miner lease and hosting agreement was partly offset by an increase in the cost of power and depreciation and amortization expense. Miner and lease hosting agreement expense decreased by $5,587,564 as the Company’s prior agreements expired during Q1 2023. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $2,855,248 year over year as the remaining balance of the Company’s new miners and electrical infrastructure were placed into service during Q1 2022 along with additional infrastructure buildout and mining equipment during the first nine months of 2023. Energy and infrastructure expenses associated with the cost of power increased by approximately $2,769,080 due primarily to the energy costs associated with the facility in Alabama that were not present in the prior year. Power plant operations costs of $1,418,833 were incurred thus far in 2023 as compared to nil in 2022.

 

General, Administrative & Other Expenses

 

The Company’s general and administrative expenses were $4,542,968 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, compared to $15,137,813 in the same period of 2022.

 

The primary drivers in the current period versus September 30, 2022, were due to:

 

Loss on sale of digital currencies in the prior period of $11,574,330 (2023: gain of $801,764).
   
Gain on sale of equipment in the prior period of $2,340,658 (2023: $nil).
   
Loss on revaluation of digital currencies in the prior period of $5,060,188 (2023: gain of $22,896.

 

Cash flows

 

Operating Activities

 

Cash provided by operating activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, was $5,787,224 as compared to cash provided of $4,012,460 for the same period ended September 30, 2022. The difference is primarily attributed to the increase in depreciation and amortization expense on a comparative basis ($9,829,202 versus $6,973,764), digital currency items ($1,745,117 versus $25,677,181), change in warrant liability (1,755,838 versus -30,229,221) and a gain on sale of equipment of $2,340,658 in 2022 ($nil in 2023).

Investing Activities

 

Cash used in investing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, was $7,045,134 as compared to $10,984,405 for the same period ended September 30, 2022. In the current year, cash of $4,599,666 was used for the purchase of the power plant, $2,945,418 was used for the purchase of equipment, with $499,950 was received from the sale of equipment. In the prior year, there were proceeds from the sale of old miners of $1,995,000 partially offsetting the purchase of equipment for $11,029,405. In Q1 2022, the Company also acquired digital currency of $1,950,000.

 

Financing Activities

 

Cash provided by financing activities for the reporting period ended September 30, 2023, was $272,909, as compared to $8,952,914 for the period ended September 30, 2022. The drivers of the balance in the current period were proceeds of a loan payable of $691,500 and proceeds of shares issued for cash of $686,189, partly offset by repayment of loans of $594,480 and lease payments of $109,800. In the prior year period, the Company received proceeds from a private placement of $8,290,024 and received proceeds from pre-funded warrants of $1,022,915, partly offset by repurchase of shares of $255,525 and lease payments of $60,000.

 

Liquidity and Financial Position

 

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had a negative working capital balance of $2,256,284, including digital currencies of $465,890. The Company commenced earning revenue from digital currency mining in mid-February 2020; however, it has limited operating history, and there can be no assurance that the Company’s historical performance will be indicative of its future performance.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to efficiently mine and liquidate digital currencies, manage operational expenses, and raise additional funds through debt or equity financing.

 

Capital Resources

 

The Company’s capital management objective is to provide the financial resources that will enable Digihost to maximize the return to its shareholders while also enhancing its cost of capital. In order to achieve this goal, the Company monitors its capital structure and adjusts as required in response to an ever-changing economic environment and the various risks to which the Company is exposed. The Company’s approach for attaining this objective is to preserve a flexible capital structure that optimizes the cost of capital at a satisfactory level of risk, to maintain its ability to meet financial obligations as they come due, and to ensure the Company has appropriate financial resources to fund its organic and acquisitive growth.

 

The Company anticipates that its existing financial resources will be sufficient to put into operation all previously announced acquisitions of mining hardware along with the infrastructure needed to support the power plant acquisition. In order to achieve its future business objectives, the Company may need to liquidate or borrow against the Bitcoin that have been accumulated as of the date hereof as well as Bitcoin generated from ongoing operations, which may or may not be possible on commercially attractive terms or at all. The Company presently anticipates that additional financing may be required to acquire additional power generation facilities in the future in order to meet the Company’s objective of obtaining access to an additional 100MW of power by the end of 2023. The Company also anticipates that additional financing will be required to purchase the miners required to utilize its maximum capacity.

 

Digihost may manage its capital structure by issuing equity, seeking financing through loan products, adjusting capital spending, or disposing of assets.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As at the date of this MD&A, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Adoption of new accounting policies

 

(a) Basis of consolidation

 

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Digihost and its wholly owned subsidiary: Digihost International, Inc. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continues to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. Control is achieved when an investor has power over an investee to direct its activities, exposure to variable returns from an investee, and the ability to use the power to affect the investor’s returns. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

(b) Functional and presentation currency

 

These financial statements are presented in United States Dollars. The functional currency of Digihost is the Canadian dollar and the functional currency of Digihost International, Inc. is the United States Dollars. All financial information is expressed in United States Dollars, unless otherwise stated.

 

(c) Foreign currency translation

 

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to United States dollars at exchange rates in effect at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates at the respective transaction dates. Revenue and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange at each transaction date. Gains or losses on translation are included in foreign exchange expense.

 

The results and financial position of an entity whose functional currency are translated into a different presentation currency are treated as follows:

 

assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the reporting date;
   
income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates at the dates of the period; and
   
all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income as cumulative translation adjustments.

 

(d) Revenue recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the provision of transaction verification services within digital currency networks, commonly termed “cryptocurrency mining”. As consideration for these services, the Company receives digital currency from each specific cryptocurrency mining pool in which it participates. Revenue is measured based on the fair value of the digital currencies received. The fair value is determined using the spot price of the digital currencies on the date of receipt. Digital currencies are considered earned on the completion and addition of a block to the blockchain, at which time the economic benefit is received and can be reliably measured.

 

(e) Digital currencies

 

Digital currencies consist of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Digital currencies meet the definition of intangible assets in IAS 38 Intangible Assets as they are identifiable non-monetary assets without physical substance. They are initially recorded at cost and the revaluation method is used to measure the digital currencies subsequently. Where digital assets are recognized as revenue, the fair value of the Bitcoin received is considered to be the cost of the digital assets. Under the revaluation method, increases in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income, while decreases are recorded in profit or loss. The Company revalues its digital currencies at the end of each quarter. There is no recycling of gains from other comprehensive income to profit or loss. However, to the extent that an increase in fair value reverses a previous decrease in fair value that has been recorded in profit or loss, that increase is recorded in profit or loss. Decreases in fair value that reverse gains previously recorded in other comprehensive income are recorded in other comprehensive income. Gains and losses on digital currencies sold between revaluation dates are included in profit or loss.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023

 

Digital currencies are measured at fair value using the quoted price on CoinMarketCap. CoinMarketCap is a pricing aggregator, as the principal market or most advantageous market is not always known. The Company believes any price difference amongst the principal market and an aggregated price to be immaterial. Management considers this fair value to be a Level 2 input under IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement fair value hierarchy as the price on this source represents an average of quoted prices on multiple digital currency exchanges.

 

(f) Property, plant, and equipment

 

Details as to the Company’s policies for property, plant and equipment are as follows:

 

Asset 

Measurement

Basis

 

Amortization

Method

 

Amortization

Rate

Data miners  Cost  Straight-line  12 - 36 months
Equipment  Cost  Straight-line  36 - 120 months
Leasehold improvement  Cost  Straight-line  120 months

 

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes all expenditures incurred to bring assets to the location and condition necessary for them to be operated in the manner intended by management.

 

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any replaced parts is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the fiscal period in which they are incurred.

 

Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized in profit or loss.

 

(g) Intangible assets

 

intangible assets that qualify for separate recognition are recognized as intangible assets at their fair values. Right of use of an electric power facility is depreciated over 13 years.

 

(h) Impairment of non-financial assets

 

The Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets, including property, plant, and equipment, when events or changes in circumstances indicate the assets may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets carried at fair value, such as digital currencies, are excluded from impairment analysis.

 

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows to be derived from continuing use of the asset or cash generating unit are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Fair value less costs of disposal is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset or cash generating unit in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the cost of disposal. When a binding sale agreement is not available, fair value less costs of disposal is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach with inputs and assumptions consistent with those of a market participant. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in net income. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or cash generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, such that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized.

(i) Leases and right-of-use assets

 

All leases are accounted for by recognizing a right-of-use asset and a lease liability except for:

 

Leases of low value assets; and

     

Leases with a duration of twelve months or less.

 

Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the contractual payments due to the lessor over the lease term, with the discount rate determined by the incremental borrowing rate on commencement of the lease is used. Variable lease payments are only included in the measurement of the lease liability if they depend on an index or rate. In such cases, the initial measurement of the lease liability assumes the variable element will remain unchanged throughout the lease term. Other variable lease payments are expensed in the period to which they relate.

 

On initial recognition, the carrying value of the lease liability also includes:

 

Amounts expected to be payable under any residual value guarantee;

     

The exercise price of any purchase option granted if it is reasonably certain to assess that option;

     

Any penalties payable for terminating the lease, if the term of the lease has been estimated on the basis of termination option being exercised.

 

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which includes the initial amount of the lease liability, reduced for any lease incentives received, and increased for:

 

Lease payments made at or before commencement of the lease;

     

Initial direct costs incurred; and

     

The amount of any provision recognised where the Company is contractually required to dismantle, remove, or restore the leased asset.

 

Lease liabilities, on initial measurement, increase as a result of interest charged at a constant rate on the balance outstanding and are reduced for lease payments made.

 

Right-of-use assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease or over the remaining economic life of the asset if this is judged to be shorter than the lease term.

 

When the Company revises its estimate of the term of any lease, it adjusts the carrying amount of the lease liability to reflect the payments to make over the revised term, which are discounted at the same discount rate that applied on lease commencement. The carrying value of lease liabilities is similarly revised when the variable element of future lease payments dependent on a rate or index is revised. In both cases an equivalent adjustment is made to the carrying value of the right-of-use asset, with the revised carrying amount being amortised over the remaining (revised) lease term or recorded in profit or loss if the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero.

(j) Goodwill

 

The Company measures goodwill as the fair value of the cost of the acquisition less the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, all measured as of the acquisition date. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

 

(k) Share capital and equity

 

Share capital represents the amount received on the issue of shares, less issuance costs, net of any underlying income tax benefit from these issuance costs. When warrants are issued in connection with shares, the Company uses the residual method for allocating fair value to the shares and then to warrants.

 

Contributed surplus include the value of outstanding warrants and stock options. When warrants and stock options are exercised, the related compensation cost and value are transferred to share capital.

 

Deficits include all current and prior year losses.

 

Digital currency revaluation reserve includes gains and losses from the revaluation of digital currencies, net of tax.

 

Cumulative translation reserve includes foreign currency translation differences arising from the translation of financial statements of foreign entities into United States dollars.

 

(l) Share-based compensation

 

The granting of stock options to employees, officers, directors, or consultants of the Company requires the recognition of share-based compensation expense with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus in shareholders’ equity. The fair value of stock options that vest immediately are recorded as share-based compensation expense at the date of the grant. The expense for stock options that vest over time is recorded over the vesting period using the graded method, which incorporates management’s estimate of the stock options that are not expected to vest. For stock options where vesting is subject to the completion of performance milestones, the estimate for completion of the milestone is reviewed at each reporting date for any change in the estimated vesting date, and to the extent there is a material change in the vesting date estimate, the amortization to be recognized is recalculated for the new timeline estimate and adjusted on a prospective basis in the current period. The effect of a change in the number of stock options expected to vest is a change in an estimate and the cumulative effect of the change is recognized in the period when the change occurs. On exercise of a stock option, the consideration received, and the estimated fair value previously recorded in contributed surplus is recorded as an increase in share capital.

 

Stock options awarded to consultants are measured based on the fair value of the goods and services received unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably. If the fair value of the goods and services cannot be reliably measured, then the fair value of the equity instruments granted is used to recognize the expense.

 

Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumption.

 

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These financial statements include estimates that, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions, and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

DIGIHOST TECHNOLOGY INC.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023

 

Significant assumptions about the future that management has made that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

 

Significant judgements

 

(i) Income from digital currency mining

 

The Company recognizes income from digital currency mining from the provision of transaction verification services within digital currency networks, commonly termed “cryptocurrency mining”. As consideration for these services, the Company receives digital currency from each specific network in which it participates (“coins”). Income from digital currency mining is measured based on the fair value of the coins received. The fair value is determined using the spot price of the coin on the date of receipt. The coins are recorded on the statement of financial position, as digital currencies, at their fair value less costs to sell and re- measured at each reporting date. Revaluation gains or losses, as well as gains or losses on the sale of coins for traditional (fiat) currencies are included in profit or loss in accordance with the Company’s treatment of its digital currencies as a traded commodity.

 

There is currently no specific definitive guidance in IFRS or alternative accounting frameworks for the accounting for the mining and strategic selling of digital currencies and management has exercised significant judgement in determining appropriate accounting treatment for the recognition of income from digital currency mining for mining of digital currencies. Management has examined various factors surrounding the substance of the Company’s operations, including the stage of completion being the completion and addition of a block to a blockchain and the reliability of the measurement of the digital currency received.

 

(ii) Going concern

 

The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern involves judgment regarding future funding available for its operations and working capital requirements as discussed in note 1.

 

(iii) Leases – incremental borrowing rate

 

Judgment is applied when determining the incremental borrowing rate used to measure the lease liability of each lease contract, including an estimate of the asset-specific security impact. The incremental borrowing rate should reflect the interest rate the Company would pay to borrow at a similar term and with similar security.

 

(iv) Income, value added, withholding and other taxes

 

The Company is subject to income, value added, withholding and other taxes. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provisions for taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. The determination of the Company’s income, value added, withholding and other tax liabilities requires interpretation of complex laws and regulations. The Company’s interpretation of taxation law as applied to transactions and activities may not coincide with the interpretation of the tax authorities. All tax related filings are subject to government audit and potential reassessment subsequent to the financial statement reporting period. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the tax related accruals and deferred income tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023

 

Significant estimates

 

(i) Determination of asset and liability fair values and allocation of purchase consideration

 

Significant business combinations require judgements and estimates to be made at the date of acquisition in relation to determining the relative fair value of the allocation of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the assets. The information necessary to measure the fair values as at the acquisition date of assets acquired requires management to make certain judgements and estimates about future events, including but not limited to availability of hardware and expertise, future production opportunities, future digital currency prices and future operating costs.

 

(ii) Useful lives of property, plant, and equipment

 

Depreciation of data miners and equipment are an estimate of its expected life. In order to determine the useful life of computing equipment, assumptions are required about a range of computing industry market and economic factors, including required hashrates, technological changes, availability of hardware and other inputs, and production costs.

 

(iii) Digital currency valuation

 

Digital currencies consist of cryptocurrency denominated assets (note 4) and are included in current assets. Digital currencies are carried at their fair value determined by the spot rate less costs to sell. The digital currency market is still a new market and is highly volatile; historical prices are not necessarily indicative of future value; a significant change in the market prices for digital currencies would have a significant impact on the Company’s earnings and financial position.

 

(iv) Impairment of goodwill

 

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the CGU. Such recoverable amount corresponds, for the purpose of impairment assessment, to the higher of the value in use or the fair value less costs of disposal of the CGU to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires management to estimate future cash flows expected to arise from the CGU and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value. The key assumptions required for the value in use estimation are described in note 8 of the year-end financial statements.

 

For the value in use approach, the values assigned to key assumptions reflect past experience and external sources of information that are deemed accurate and reliable. The value in use is categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy described under IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement, as one or more key assumption used is based on unobservable data requiring the use of judgement.

 

Disclosure of Internal Controls

 

Management has established processes to provide it with sufficient knowledge to support representations that it has exercised reasonable diligence to ensure that (i) the consolidated financial statements do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it is made, as of the date of and for the periods presented by the financial statements, and (ii) the consolidated financial statements fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flow of the Company, as of the date of and for the periods presented.

DIGIHOST TECHNOLOGY INC.

Management’s Discussion & Analysis

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023

 

In contrast to the certificate required for non-venture issuers under National Instrument 52-109 - Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings (“NI 52-109”), the Venture Issuer Basic Certificate does not include representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of disclosure controls and procedures (“DC&P”) and internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), as defined in NI 52-109. In particular, the certifying officers filing such certificate are not making any representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of:

 

(i)controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation; and

 

(ii)a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the issuer’s GAAP (IFRS).

 

The Company’s certifying officers are responsible for ensuring that processes are in place to provide them with sufficient knowledge to support the representations they are making in the certificate. Investors should be aware that inherent limitations on the ability of certifying officers of a venture issuer to design and implement on a cost-effective basis DC&P and ICFR as defined in NI 52-109 may result in additional risks to the quality, reliability, transparency and timeliness of interim and annual filings and other reports provided under securities legislation.

 

Risk Factors

 

An investment in the securities of the Company is highly speculative and involves numerous and significant risks. Such investment should be undertaken only by investors whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume these risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risk factors that have affected, and which in the future are reasonably expected to affect, the Company and its financial position. Please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Information Form for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, dated March 31, 2023 available on SEDAR + at www.sedarplus.ca and the Risk Factors contained the Company’s various filings on SEDAR + and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.
