Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the Company’s accounts and those of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2022 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements, but these interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the annual disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022, which are referenced herein. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2023 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, are unaudited. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited financial statements, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to fairly state our financial position as of September 30, 2023 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future interim period.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the presentation for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Gain on sale of digital assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which was previously included in Other income, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss and Other adjustments in the statement of cash flows has been reclassified to Gain on sale of digital assets in each respective financial statement.
Going Concern
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern requires management to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about our ability to meet future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. As required by this standard, management’s initial evaluation shall not take into consideration the potential mitigating effects of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial statements are issued.
We have a history of net losses since our inception. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred a net loss of $29,772, used $15,869 in cash for operations and have a working capital deficiency of $12,721. The foregoing conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to meet our financial obligations as they become due.
In performing the next step of our going concern assessment, we are required to evaluate whether our plans to mitigate the conditions above alleviate the substantial doubt. Our assessment included the preparation of a detailed cash forecast that included projected cash inflows and outflows. We continue to focus on growing our revenues, and accordingly, we expect operating expenditures to exceed future revenue for the foreseeable future. We have implemented a plan to decrease our cash burn by reducing headcount and other operating expenditures. We have also raised additional funds in our at-the-market equity offering and entered into an amendment to our 2022 Promissory Note, which allows the holder to convert outstanding amounts due into shares of our common stock. In addition, in August 2023, we entered into a stock purchase agreement, which subject to limitations contained within the agreement, allows us to sell shares of our common stock to the investor. Our future plans may include additional reductions to operating expenses, additional sales of our common stock in our at-the-market offering and pursuant to a stock purchase agreement with a certain investor, and issuing additional shares of common stock, preferred stock, warrants or units pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement.
Despite a history of successfully implementing similar plans, these sources of working capital are not currently assured, and consequently do not sufficiently mitigate the risks and uncertainties disclosed above. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding on satisfactory terms or at all. In addition, no assurance can be given that any such financing, if obtained, will be adequate to meet our capital needs and support our growth. If additional funding cannot be obtained on a timely basis and on satisfactory terms, our operations would be materially negatively impacted. We have therefore concluded there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through one year from the issuance of these financial statements.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Nasdaq listing
On April 13, 2023, we received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Requirement”) because the bid price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market had closed below $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days. The notice from Nasdaq stated that, under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we had been provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until October 10, 2023, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement.
On October 10, 2023, we submitted a request to Nasdaq for an additional 180-day extension to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. On October 12, 2023, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq advising that the Company had been granted a 180-day extension to April 8, 2024, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). To regain compliance, the bid price of the Company’s common stock must close at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.
We intend to monitor the closing bid price of our common stock and may, if appropriate, take all measures necessary to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement within the compliance period provided by Nasdaq, including effecting a reverse stock split.
If we fail to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement prior to the conclusion of the allotted compliance period, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written notification that its securities are subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. At that time, we may appeal the delisting determination to a hearings panel. There can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement or maintain compliance with other Nasdaq continued listing requirements.
