Annual Report for Fiscal Year Ending DECEMBER 31, 2024 (Form 10-K)

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report on Form 10-K.

Overview

Following the closing of the Share Exchange, Edgemode, through SAPL, its wholly owned subsidiary, is now designing, building, and operating digital infrastructure for HPC with the goal of becoming a leading provider of digital colocation services. The acquisition of SAPL has positioned us to enter the rapidly evolving HPC hosting market in an efficient and effective manner. The acquisition has enabled us to plan to leverage SAPL's existing infrastructure and expertise to meet the growing demand for data center facilities for third-party customers focused on cloud computing as well as machine learning and artificial intelligence.

The acquisition of SAPL will enable us to become a premier provider and operator of dedicated, purpose-built data center facilities for our third-party customers. We believe that opportunities for growth exist in various applications of our data centers, which is another factor as to why we have decided to begin offering digital infrastructure colocation services to third parties engaged in HPC.

Our goal is to utilize the assets we have acquired via the purchase of SAPL for HPC hosting operations which will provide consistent dollar-based revenue and which represent substantially less risk than our historical digital asset self-mining operations. Our intent is to focus our business on development and marketing efforts to build data centers and expand our foundational HPC hosting customer base.

We are currently engaged with one customer, Cudo Ventures Ltd ("Cudo") who will initially account for 100% of our HPC Hosting segment revenue. Our success in the HPC Hosting segment is highly dependent on the success of our master services agreement with Cudo Ventures and the fulfillment by it of its obligations under the master services agreement.

12 Months Ended December 31, 2024 ("2024 Period") Compared to the 12 Months Ended December 31, 2023 ("2023 Period").

Results of operations

Our operating expenses for the 2024 Period were $1,408,528 compared to $3,362,714, for the 2023 Period. In the 2024 Period, the Company incurred stock-based compensation expense of $0 compared to $1,465,522 for the 2023 Period. The stock-based compensation for the 2023 Period was related to the amendment of options to the officers of the Company and new options issued to a consultant.

Our other expense for the 2024 Period was $181,531 compared to other income of $347,933 for the 2023 Period. Other expense in the 2024 period was comprised of $56,488 in interest expense and $1,795,664 for the loss on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities offset by income of $425,000 on the refund of an equipment deposit and settlement of outstanding liabilities of $1,245,621. Other income for the 2023 period was comprised of $346,162 in interest expense, $51,859 in prepayment penalties on the preferred B shares, loss on legal settlement of $9,975 and $780 in other expenses, offset by income of $700,000 in deposits from equipment refunds, a gain of $50,000 on the settlement of liabilities and $6,709 for the gain on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of April 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $100,000 of cash on hand. We did not receive any funding or financing during the 2024 Period. Our liquidity was historically primarily derived from debt and equity investments from accredited investors and also from selling the crypto that we mined through September 2022. Subsequent to the period covered by this report, in February 2025, we received an initial payment of approximately $303,000 for colocation services to be provide by the Company. In addition, in April 2025 we sold 38,510,911 shares of restricted common stock to an accredited investor in consideration of $300,000. On April 7, 2025, we executed the Share Exchange with SAPL and we are seeking to raise at least $2,000,000 to commence our HPC Hosting operations and generate revenue. We require significant funding to develop our HPC operations. Subject to receiving funding, we expect that our operating expenses will increase as we attempt to develop our new HPC operations and we devote additional resources toward new business opportunities. However, as set forth elsewhere in this report, our ability to develop our business and achieve our operational goals is dependent upon our ability to raise significant additional working capital. As the availability of this capital is unlikely and we are unable to quantify at this time the expected increases in operating expenses in future periods.

Convertible notes payable

On April 11, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement effective April 20, 2023 with 1800 Diagonal Lending LLC, an accredited investor, pursuant to which the Company sold the investor an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $60,760 (the "April Promissory Note"). The Company received net proceeds of $50,000 in consideration of issuance of the April Promissory Note after original issue discount of $6,510 and legal fees of $4,250. The aggregate debt discount of $10,760 is being amortized to interest expense over the respective term of the note. The April Promissory Note shall incur a one-time interest charge of 13%, which is added to the principal balance, has a maturity date of March 11, 2024, and requires monthly payments of $7,629 beginning on September 15, 2023. The April Promissory Note is convertible into common shares of the Company upon an event of default, at a rate of 71% of the lowest price for the preceding 20 trading days. In addition, upon default, the Company must repay an amount equal to 150% of the then outstanding amount of principal and accrued interest combined.

In addition, on April 11, 2023, the Company entered into an additional Securities Purchase Agreement effective April 20, 2023 with the above investor, pursuant to which the Company sold the investor an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $56,962 (the "Convertible Note"), bears interest at a rate of 8%, or 22% in the event of default, and matured on April 11, 2024. The Company received net proceeds of $50,000 in consideration of issuance of the Convertible Note after original issue discount of $2,712 and legal fees of $4,250.

The Promissory Note has a prepayment percentage of 130% for the period beginning on the issuance date and ending on the maturity date. As of December 31, 2024, the balance on the note was $57,502 and the Note was past due. On April 14, 2025, the note and accrued interest were converted in full into 30,188,550 shares of common stock.

On August 4, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with 1800 Diagonal Lending LLC, an accredited investor, pursuant to which the Company sold the investor an unsecured original issuance discount promissory note in the principal amount of $71,450 (the "August Promissory Note"). The Company received net proceeds of $60,000 in consideration of issuance of the August Promissory Note after original issue discount of $7,200 and legal fees of $4,250. The aggregate debt discount of $11,450 is being amortized to interest expense over the respective term of the note. The August Promissory Note shall incur a one-time interest charge of 13%, which is added to the principal balance, has a maturity date of May 24, 2024, and requires monthly payments of $8,971 beginning on September 15, 2023. The August Promissory Note is convertible into common shares of the Company at any time following an event of default at a rate of 71% of the lowest trading price of the Company's common stock during the twenty prior trading days. In addition, upon default, the Company must repay an amount equal to 150% of the then outstanding amount of principal and accrued interest combined. As of December 31, 2024, the balance on the note is $99,529. The note is in default.

On October 20, 2023 the Company received notice from 1800 Diagonal Lending LLC, the holder of the April Promissory Note, Convertible Note and August Promissory Note (collectively, the "1800 Notes") that such notes were in default.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not believe that any recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of the date of this report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term "off-balance sheet arrangement" generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

Risk Factors

Summary Risk Factors

Any investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Investors should carefully consider the risks described below and all of the information contained in this filing before deciding whether to purchase our securities. Our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by these risks if any of them actually occur. This filing also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks we face as described below and elsewhere in this report.

Risks Relating to Our Business Operations

·

We require significant working capital to develop our new business and satisfy our debts.

·

Our business depends upon the demand for data centers.

·

Our new focus on HPC hosting may not be successful and depends on the continuing development and resource and computational requirements of HPC hosting applications such as cloud computing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence ("AI") and continuing need for the infrastructure and services we provide.

·

We face significant competition, which may adversely affect the occupancy and rental rates of our data centers.

·

We have limited resources which may affect our abilities to develop our SAPL operations.

·

At the outset, our HPC business will be highly dependent on a single customer.

·

Any failure of our physical or information technology ("IT") or operational technology infrastructure or services could lead to significant costs and disruptions.

·

Our third-party providers and we are vulnerable to cyberattacks and security breaches that could materially disrupt or compromise our operations, data and results.

·

We will depend upon third-party suppliers for power, and we are vulnerable to service failures and price increases by such suppliers and to volatility in the supply and price of power in the open market.

·

If we do not accurately predict our facility requirements, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

·

We will depend on third parties to provide network connectivity to the customers in our data centers and any delays or disruptions in connectivity may materially adversely affect our operating results and cash flow.

·

Our success is dependent on the ability of our management team and our ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain other well-qualified employees, which may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than expected.

·

The development and advancement in the efficiency of AI models presents risks and challenges that may adversely impact our business and operating results.

Risks Related to Our Limited Operating History and Transition

·

Our new services and any changes to services in the future could fail to attract or retain users or generate revenue and profits, or otherwise adversely affect our business.

·

We operate in a rapidly developing industry and have an evolving business model with no history of generating revenue from our colocation services. In addition, our evolving business model increases the complexity of our business, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future business prospects and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Risks of Regulatory Laws, Regulatory Frameworks, and Legal Action

·

Regulatory developments surrounding HPC may negatively impact our efforts to expand into HPC hosting.

·

Any potential use of emerging technologies like AI, machine learning, and generative AI could lead to unintended consequences and result in reputational harm and litigation.

·

We may become involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business that may materially adversely affect us.

·

Changing environmental regulation and public energy policy may expose our business to new risks.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock

·

We are a former shell company.

·

The issuance of shares upon exercise of our outstanding options or warrants or the conversion of outstanding promissory notes may cause immediate and substantial dilution to our existing shareholders.

There are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown, that may prevent us from achieving our goals. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, or results of operation may be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment.

Risks Related to Our Business and Operations

We require significant capital to fund our operations and we may have difficulty raising capital, which could deprive us of necessary revenues.

SAPL has not generated any revenues to date and, subject to the availability of sufficient capital, does not expect to generate revenues until mid-2025 or later. We also require funding or revenues to satisfy outstanding debt. We require funding of approximately $70,000,000 to develop our operations. In order to support our initiatives, we will need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing, collaborative relationships, or other arrangements with well-capitalized companies. Our ability to raise additional financing depends on many factors beyond our control, including the current volatility in the capital markets, risks associated with investing in a pre-revenue company with no assurances our products can be commercialized, the lack of a public market for our common stock, and the development or prospects for development of competitive technology by others. Sufficient additional financing may not be available to us or may be available only on terms that would result in further dilution to the current owners of our common stock. If we are unsuccessful in raising additional capital, or the terms of raising such capital are unacceptable, we may never be able to effectively monetize our SAPL assets and/or we may default on the SAPL note. In that event, we may have to modify our business plan and/or significantly curtail our planned activities and other operations.

Our business depends upon the demand for data centers.

We are venturing into the business of owning, acquiring, developing, and operating data centers. A reduction in the demand for data center space, power or connectivity would have a greater adverse effect on our business and financial condition than if we owned a portfolio with a less specialized use. Our substantial development activities make us particularly susceptible to general economic slowdowns as well as adverse developments in the data center, Internet and data communications and broader technology industries. Any such slowdown or adverse development could lead to reduced corporate IT spending, reduced demand for HPC hosting applications, such as cloud computing, machine learning, and AI, and overall reduced demand for data center space. Changes in industry practice or in technology could also reduce demand for the physical data center space we provide.

In addition, our customers may choose to develop new data centers or expand their own existing data centers or consolidate into data centers that we do not own or operate, which could reduce demand for our newly developed data centers or result in the loss of one or more key customers. If any of our key customers were to do so, it could result in a loss of business to us or put pressure on our pricing. Mergers or consolidations of technology companies could reduce further the number of our customers and potential customers and make us more dependent on a more limited number of customers. If our customers merge with or are acquired by other entities that are not our customers, they may discontinue or reduce the use of our data centers in the future. Our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations could be materially adversely affected as a result of any or all of these factors.

Our new focus on HPC hosting may not be successful and depends on the continuing development and resource and computational requirements of HPC hosting applications such as cloud computing, machine learning and AI, and the continuing need for the infrastructure and services we provide.

If our target customer markets, which are new and still developing, do not grow or develop as expected or in a manner consistent with our current business model, our business, financial condition, and results of operation would be adversely affected. Further, increases in power costs could negatively impact our hosting customers' demand for services, harm our growth prospects, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our success also depends in large part on our ability to attract additional customers and retain our existing customer for our HPC hosting capabilities in a profitable manner, which we may not be able to do if:

·

high energy costs, supply chain disruptions (including labor availability), government regulation, and compliance costs increase HPC hosting service costs, reduce potential demand for services and reduce revenue and profitability;

·

we fail to provide competitive hosting terms or effectively market them to potential customers;

·

we provide hosting services that are deemed by existing and potential customers or suppliers to be inferior to those of our competitors, or that fail to meet customers' or suppliers' ongoing and evolving program qualification standards, based on a range of factors, including available power, preferred design features, security considerations, and connectivity;

·

businesses decide to host internally as an alternative to the use of our services;

·

we fail to successfully communicate the benefits of our services to potential customers;

·

we are unable to strengthen awareness of our brand; or

·

we are unable to provide services that our existing and potential customers desire.

We face significant competition, which may adversely affect the occupancy and rental rates of our data centers.

We will compete with numerous data center providers globally, many of whom own or operate properties similar to ours, as well as private operators specializing in HPC hosting or colocation services, and digital asset miners seeking to convert existing mining facilities into HPC colocation facilities. In addition, we may in the future face competition from new entrants into the data center market, including new entrants who may acquire our current competitors. Some of our competitors and potential competitors have significant advantages over us, including greater name recognition, longer operating histories, pre-existing relationships with current or potential customers, significantly greater financial, marketing, and other resources and more ready access to capital which allow them to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities.

If our competitors offer space that our customers or potential customers perceive to be superior to ours based on factors such as available power, security, location, or connectivity, or if they offer rental rates below current market rates, or below the rental rates we are offering, we may lose customers or potential customers or be required to incur costs to improve our data centers or reduce our rental rates. In addition, many of our competitors have developed and continue to develop additional data center space. If the supply of data center space continues to increase as a result of these activities or otherwise, rental rates may be reduced or we may face delays in leasing or be unable to lease our vacant space, including space that we develop. Further, if customers or potential customers desire services that we do not offer, we may not be able to lease our space to those customers. Our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations could be materially adversely affected as a result of any or all of these factors.

We have limited resources which may affect our abilities to develop our SAPL operations.

With the limited resources we have available, we may experience difficulties in developing our SAPL operations, including, but not limited to, our colocation data center, services, and colocation to commence generating revenues and compete in the HPC hosting industry. Competition from existing and future competitors, particularly those better capitalized, could result in our inability to secure acquisitions and partnerships that we may need to expand our business in the future. This competition from other entities with greater resources, experience, and reputations may result in our failure to maintain or expand our business, as we may never be able to successfully execute our business plan. If we are unable to develop, expand, and remain competitive, our business could be negatively affected, which would have an adverse effect on the trading price of our ordinary shares, which would harm our investors.

We have no operating history, require significant capital to develop our business, expect negative cash flows from our operations to continue for the foreseeable future, and we expect that our net losses will continue for the foreseeable future as we seek to develop and increase the efficiency of our operations and find new colocation customers.

At the outset, our HPC business will be highly dependent on a single customer.

One customer, Cudo Ventures Ltd ("Cudo Ventures"), will initially account for 100% of our HPC Hosting segment revenue. Our success in the HPC Hosting segment is highly dependent on the success of our master services agreement with Cudo Ventures and the fulfillment by it of its obligations under the master services agreement. Any failure to meet Cudo Ventures' expectations, including, but not limited to, failure to fulfill our contractual obligations, could result in cancellation or non-renewal of our business relationship, or harm to our business relationship that could impact our future growth and which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Any failure of our physical or IT or operational technology infrastructure or services could lead to significant costs and disruptions.

Our business will depend on providing customers with highly reliable services, including, but not limited to, power supply, physical security, cybersecurity, maintenance of environmental conditions, and other mission-critical infrastructure services. We may fail to provide such services because our operations are vulnerable to, among other things, mechanical or telecommunications failure, power outage, human error, physical or electronic security breaches, cyberattacks, war, terrorism, fire, earthquake, pandemics, hurricane, flood and other natural disasters, sabotage, and vandalism.

Our customer agreements will include terms requiring us to meet certain service level commitments. A failure to meet these or other commitments or equipment damage in our data centers could subject us to contractual liability, including service level credits against customer rent payments, legal liability and monetary damages, regulatory sanctions, or, in certain cases of repeated failures, the right by the customer to terminate the agreement. Service interruptions, equipment failures, or security breaches could also materially impact our brand and reputation globally and lead to customer contract terminations or non-renewals and an inability to attract customers in the future.

We and our third-party providers are vulnerable to cyberattacks and security breaches that could materially disrupt or compromise our operations, data, and results.

We will rely on computer systems, hardware, software, online sites and networks, as well as physical, digital, and operational technology infrastructure to support our internal and external operations (collectively, "Information Systems"). We will own, operate, and manage complex, global Information Systems and also rely on third-party providers for a range of Information Systems and other products and services, such as cloud computing. As a result, we face evolving risks that threaten the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Information Systems and data, including from state-sponsored espionage actors, financially motivated hackers, hacktivists and insiders, as well as through diverse attack vectors, such as social engineering/phishing, malware (including ransomware), human or technological error, or due to "bugs," misconfigurations and known and unknown vulnerabilities in hardware, software, systems and processes that support our business.

Unauthorized access to our or our customers' physical assets or Information Systems, misappropriation of our or our customers' sensitive or proprietary information, or disruptions to our or our customers' operations as a result of attacks, breaches or disruptions to our, or any providers' or our customers', Information Systems or controls could lead to material breaches of legal and regulatory (e.g., privacy laws such as GDPR) or contractual obligations, and/or other operational and business impacts. The foregoing could expose us to material lawsuits, regulatory actions, penalties or fines, monetary damages, loss of existing or potential customers, harm to our reputation, and significant increases in our security and insurance costs, and other adverse effects on our business and results.

Our contracts with our current or future customers could subject us to significant liability.

In the ordinary course of business, we will enter into agreements with our customers pursuant to which we provide data center space, power, environmental controls, physical security and connectivity products to our customers. These contracts typically contain indemnification and liability provisions, in addition to service level commitments, which could potentially impose a significant cost on us in the event of losses arising out of certain breaches of such agreements, services to be provided by us or our subcontractors, or from third-party claims. Customers increasingly are looking to pass through their regulatory obligations and other liabilities to their outsourced data center providers and we may not be able to limit our liability or damages in an event of loss suffered by such customers whether as a result of our breach of an agreement or otherwise. Further, liabilities and standards for damages and enforcement actions, including the regulatory framework applicable to different types of losses, vary by jurisdiction, and we may be subject to greater liability for certain losses in certain jurisdictions.

In the future, we may also develop space specifically for HPC data center customers pursuant to agreements signed prior to beginning or early in the development process. In those cases, if we fail to meet our development obligations under those agreements, these customers may be able to terminate their agreements, and we would be required to find a new customer for this space. In addition, in certain circumstances we may lease HPC data center facilities prior to their completion. If we fail to complete the facilities in a timely manner, the customer may be entitled to terminate its agreement, seek damages or penalties against us or pursue other remedies and we may be required to find a new customer for the space. If we are not able to complete an HPC data center in a timely manner, if development costs are higher than we currently estimate, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow could be materially adversely affected.

We may depend on significant customers for our HPC data centers.

Many factors, including global economic conditions, may cause our current and future HPC data center customers to experience a downturn in their businesses or otherwise experience a lack of liquidity, which may weaken their financial condition and impact our estimates as to the probability of collectability of payments, and ultimately result in their failure to make timely rental and other payments or their default under their agreements with us. Further, the development of new technologies, the adoption of new industry standards or other factors could render our HPC data center customers' current products and services obsolete or unmarketable and contribute to a downturn in their businesses, thereby increasing the likelihood that they default under their leases, become insolvent, or file for bankruptcy. If a customer defaults or fails to make timely rent or other payments, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Even if we have additional space available for lease at any one of our data centers, our ability to lease this space to existing or new customers could be constrained by our ability to provide sufficient electrical power.

Customers may increase their power footprint in our data centers over time and the corresponding reduction in available power could limit our ability to increase occupancy rates or network density within our existing data centers. Our aggregate maximum contractual obligation to provide power and cooling to our customers may exceed the physical capacity at such data centers if customers were to quickly increase their demand for power and cooling. If we are not able to increase the available power and/or cooling or move the customer to another location within our data centers with sufficient power and cooling to meet such demand, we could lose the customer as well as be exposed to liability under our customer agreements. In addition, our power and cooling systems will be difficult and expensive to upgrade, especially as we plan to design our data centers to the specifications of new and evolving technologies, such as AI, which are more power-intensive. Accordingly, we may not be able to efficiently upgrade or change these systems to meet new demands without incurring significant costs that we may not be able to pass on to our customers. Any such material loss of customers, liability, or additional costs could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We will depend upon third-party suppliers for power, and we may be vulnerable to service failures and price increases by such suppliers and to volatility in the supply and price of power in the open market.

We will rely on third parties to provide power to our data centers and we cannot ensure that these third parties will deliver such power in adequate quantities or on a consistent basis. We will also be reliant on third parties to deliver additional power capacity to support the growth of our business. If the amount of power available to us is inadequate to support our customer requirements, we may be unable to satisfy our obligations to our customers or grow our business. In addition, our data centers may be susceptible to power shortages and planned or unplanned power outages caused by these shortages. Power outages may last beyond our backup and alternative power arrangements, which would harm our customers and our business. Any loss of services or equipment damage could adversely affect both our ability to generate revenues and our operating results, harm our reputation, and potentially lead to customer disputes or litigation.

In addition, we may be subject to risks and unanticipated costs associated with obtaining power from various utility companies. Utilities that serve our data centers may be dependent on, and sensitive to price increases for, a particular type of fuel, such as natural gas, coal, or nuclear. In addition, the price of these fuels and the total cost of delivered electricity could increase as a result of: regulations intended to regulate carbon emissions and other pollutants, ratepayer surcharges related to recovering the cost of extreme weather events and natural disasters, geopolitical conflicts, military conflicts, grid modernization charges, as well as other charges borne by ratepayers. Increases in the cost of power at any of our planned data centers could put those locations at a competitive disadvantage relative to data centers that are supplied power at a lower price.

If we do not accurately predict our facility requirements, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The costs of building out, leasing, and maintaining our facilities will constitute a significant portion of our capital and operating expenses. In order to develop, manage potential growth, and ensure adequate capacity for any new and existing HPC hosting customers while minimizing unnecessary excess capacity costs, we will continuously evaluate our short- and long-term data center capacity requirements. If we overestimate our business's capacity requirements or the demand for our services and therefore secure excess data center capacity, our operating margins could be materially reduced. If we underestimate our data center capacity requirements, we may not be able to service the required or expanding needs of our existing customers and may be required to limit new customer acquisition, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We will depend on third parties to provide network connectivity to the customers in our data centers and any delays or disruptions in connectivity may materially adversely affect our operating results and cash flow.

We are not a telecommunications carrier. Although our customers generally will be responsible for providing their own network connectivity, we will still depend upon the presence of telecommunications carriers' fiber networks serving our data centers in order to attract and retain customers. We believe that the availability of carrier capacity will directly affect our ability to achieve our projected results. Any carrier may elect not to offer its services within our data centers. Any carrier that decides to provide network connectivity to our data centers may not continue to do so for any period of time. Further, some carriers are experiencing business difficulties or have announced consolidations. As a result, some carriers may be forced to downsize or eventually terminate connectivity within our data centers, which could have an adverse effect on the business of our customers and, in turn, our own development and operating results.

Our data centers may require construction and operation of a sophisticated redundant fiber network. The construction required to connect multiple carrier facilities to data centers is complex and involves factors outside of our control, including regulatory requirements and the availability of construction resources. We have obtained the right to use network resources owned by other companies, including rights to use dark fiber, in order to attract telecommunications carriers and customers to our portfolio. If the establishment of highly diverse network connectivity to our data centers does not occur, is materially delayed or is discontinued, or is subject to failure, our operating results and cash flow may be materially adversely affected. Additionally, any hardware or fiber failures on this network may result in significant loss of connectivity to our data centers. This could negatively affect our ability to attract or retain customers, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Many of our costs, such as operating, general and administrative expenses, interest expenses, and real estate acquisition and construction costs, could be adversely impacted by periods of heightened inflation.

The consumer price index has increased substantially year over year. Federal policies and recent global events, such as the rising price of oil and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, may have exacerbated, and may continue to exacerbate, inflation and increases in the consumer price index. A sustained or further increase in inflation could have an adverse impact on our operating expenses incurred in connection with, among others, the property-related contracted services such as repairs, maintenance, utilities, security, and insurance. With regard to utilities expenses, which we anticipate to be our largest expense category, the vast majority of the expense will be passed directly through to our customers which significantly mitigates our exposure to increases in power costs. For our other operating expenses, we expect to recover some increases from our customers through our planned lease structures, annual rent escalations, or from the resetting of rents from our renewal and re-leasing activities. As a result, we do not believe that inflation would result in a significant adverse effect on our net operating income and operating cash flows at the property level. However, there can be no assurance that the impact of inflation will be adequately offset by some of our annual rent escalations contained in our leases, and it is possible that the resetting of rents from our renewal and re-leasing activities would not fully offset the impact of higher operating expenses resulting from inflationary pressure. As a result, during inflationary periods in which the inflation rate exceeds the annual rent escalation percentages within our customer contracts, we may not adequately mitigate the impact of inflation, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation costs and professional service fees. Rising inflation rates may require us to provide compensation increases beyond historical annual increases, which may unexpectedly or significantly increase our compensation costs. Similarly, professional service fees are also subject to the impact of inflation and expected to increase proportionately with increasing market prices for such services. Consequently, inflation may increase our general and administrative expenses over time and may adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows.

Additionally, inflationary pricing may have a negative effect on the construction costs necessary to complete our development projects, including, but not limited to, costs of construction equipment, materials, labor, and services from third-party contractors and suppliers. We will rely on a number of third-party suppliers and contractors to supply raw materials, skilled labor, and services for our construction projects. Certain increases in the costs of construction equipment and materials can often be managed in development projects through either general budget contingencies built into overall construction cost estimates for projects or guaranteed maximum price construction contracts, which stipulate a maximum price for certain construction costs and shift inflation risk to our construction general contractors. However, no assurance can be given that our budget contingencies would accurately account for potential construction cost increases given the current severity of inflation and variety of contributing factors or that our general contractors would be able to absorb such increases in costs and complete our construction projects timely, within budget, or at all. Higher construction costs could adversely impact our investments in real estate assets and expected yields on our development projects, which may adversely impact our returns on our investments. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, ability to satisfy our debt service obligations, and to pay dividends and distributions to security holders could be adversely affected over time.

Our business and operations, customers, suppliers, and business partners may be adversely affected by epidemics, pandemics, or other outbreaks.

Epidemics, pandemics, other outbreaks of an illness, disease, or virus that affect countries or regions in which we or our customers, suppliers, or business partners operate, and actions taken to contain or prevent their further spread, may have a material and adverse impact on general commercial activity and on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and creditworthiness. Epidemics, pandemics, other outbreaks of an illness, disease, or virus could result in significant governmental measures being implemented to control the spread of such illness, disease, or virus, including quarantines, travel restrictions, manufacturing restrictions, declarations of states of emergency, business shutdowns, prioritization and allocation of resources, and restrictions on the movement of our employees and those of our customers, suppliers and business partners on which we rely, which could adversely affect our ability and their respective abilities to adequately manage our respective businesses. Risks related to epidemics, pandemics, other outbreaks of an illness, disease, or virus could also lead to the complete or partial closure of one or more of our offices or properties or our customers', suppliers' or business partners' businesses, or otherwise result in significant disruptions to our business and operations or theirs. Such events could materially and adversely impact our operations and the rental revenue we generate from our agreements with our customers or could result in defaults by our customers.

We cannot predict the full extent of the impact that epidemics, pandemics, and other global events will have on our customers, suppliers, and other business partners; however, any material effect on these parties could adversely impact us, our future financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. The full extent to which epidemics, pandemics, and the various responses to such events impact our business, operations, and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including: the duration and scope of such event; governmental, business, and individuals' actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to such event; the availability of and cost to access the capital markets; the effect on our customers and customer demand for and ability to pay for our services; the impact on our development projects; and disruptions or restrictions on our employees' ability to work and travel.

We face additional risks in expanding our business, including the significant amount of capital required.

Expanding our business will require significant capital. In addition, we may be required to commit significant operational and financial resources in connection with the organic growth of our business substantially in advance of such newly developed data centers generating revenue.

The costs of constructing, developing, operating, and maintaining our HPC operations are substantial. Our HPC hosting operations may be impacted by costs and expenses beyond our control or require capital investment that neither we nor our customers are able to bear, reducing our revenue and profitability. Moreover, in order to grow our hosting business, we may need additional facilities to increase our capacity for more customers. The costs of constructing, developing, operating, and maintaining hosting facilities and growing our hosting operations may not be profitable or possible as construction costs are rising which reflect the increase in cost of labor and raw materials, as well as supply chain and logistical challenges. Unexpected disruptions to our supply chain, continued inflationary pressures, high interest rates, tariffs, delays in construction, limited financing availability, constrained supplies of new power, or changes in customer requirements could significantly affect the cost or timing of our planned expansion projects, have consequences under our project financing and partnership agreements, and interfere with our ability to meet commitments to customers who have contracted for space in new data centers under construction.

All construction-related data center projects will require us to carefully select, manage, and rely on the experience of one or more design firms, general contractors, and associated subcontractors during the design and construction process, and to obtain critical government permits and authorizations. Should a design firm, general contractor, significant subcontractor, or key supplier experience financial or operational problems during the design or construction process or fail to perform properly, or should we be unable to obtain or experience delays in obtaining, all necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy, and other governmental permits and authorizations, we could experience significant delays, increased costs to complete the project, penalties under customer preleases, and other negative impacts to the expected return on our committed capital. Further, there can be no assurance we will have sufficient customer demand to support the data centers we may acquire or build.

We may not be able to adapt to changing technologies and customer requirements, and our data center infrastructure may become obsolete.

The technology industry generally and specific industries in which certain of our customers may operate are characterized by rapidly changing technology, customer requirements, and industry standards. New systems to deliver power to or eliminate heat in data centers or the development of new server technology that does not require the levels of critical load and heat removal that our facilities may be designed to provide and could be run less expensively on a different platform could make our data center infrastructure obsolete. Our power and cooling systems may be difficult and expensive to upgrade, and we may not be able to efficiently upgrade or change these systems to meet new demands without incurring significant costs. If we are unable to pass these costs on to our customers it could adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, the infrastructure that will connect our data centers to the Internet and other external networks may become insufficient, including with respect to latency, reliability, and connectivity. We may not be able to adapt to changing technologies or meet customer demands for new processes or technologies in a timely and cost-effective manner, if at all, which would adversely impact our ability to develop, sustain, and grow our business.

Further, our inability to adapt to changing customer requirements may make our data centers obsolete or unmarketable to such customers. Some of our customers may operate at significant scale across numerous data center facilities and have designed cloud and computing networks with redundancies and fail-over capabilities across these facilities, which enhances the resiliency of their networks and applications. As a result, these potential customers may realize cost benefits by locating their data center operations in facilities with less electrical or mechanical infrastructure redundancy than is found in our data center facilities. Additionally, some HPC data center customers have begun to operate their data centers using a wider range of humidity levels and at temperatures that are higher than servers customarily have operated at in the past, all of which may result in energy cost savings for these third parties. We may not be able to operate under these environmental conditions, particularly in multi-tenant facilities with other customers who are not willing to operate under these conditions, and our data centers could be at a competitive disadvantage to facilities that satisfy such requirements. If we are unable to modify or build accordingly, these or other changes in customer requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Further, due to regulations that apply to our potential customers as well as industry standards, such as ISO and SOC certifications which customers may deem desirable, they may seek specific requirements and certifications from their data centers that we are unable to provide. If new or different regulations or standards are adopted or such extra requirements are demanded by our customers, we could lose some customers in the future or be unable to attract new customers in certain industries, which could materially and adversely affect our operations.

Our success is dependent on the ability of our management team and our ability to attract, develop, motivate, and retain other well-qualified employees, which may be more difficult, costly, or time-consuming than expected.

Our success depends largely on the development and execution of our business strategy by our senior management team. We cannot assure you that our management will work well together, work well with our other existing employees, or successfully execute our business strategy in the near-term or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our future success also depends on our continuing ability to attract, develop, motivate, and retain highly qualified and skilled management and other employees. It is difficult to locate experienced executives in our industry. Further, competition for facility design, construction management, operations, data processing, engineering, IT, risk management, sales and marketing, and other highly skilled personnel is extremely intense. We may not be able to hire and retain these personnel at compensation levels consistent with our existing compensation and salary structure at this stage in our development. We may be unable to attract and retain our senior executives and other key personnel, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The development and advancement in the efficiency of AI models presents risks and challenges that may adversely affect our business and operating results.

The introduction of, and advancement in the efficiency of AI models could potentially adversely affect data center usage by significantly reducing the computational power needed to train AI models, potentially leading to less demand for high-power density, liquid-cooled data center infrastructure and colocation facilities. New advancements in AI models could also alter the way data centers are currently designed and utilized and may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We are subject to risks associated with our need for significant electrical power.

Our operations will require significant amounts of electrical power and we anticipate our demand for electrical power will continue to grow. The fluctuating price of electricity required for our operations and to power our expansion may inhibit our profitability. If we are unable to obtain, and then continue to obtain, sufficient electrical power on a cost-effective basis, we may not realize the anticipated benefits of our significant capital investments.

Risks Related to Our Limited Operating History and Transition

Our new services and changes to services in the future could fail to attract or retain users, generate revenue and profits, or otherwise adversely affect our business.

Our ability to retain, increase, and engage our customer base and to increase our revenue will depend heavily on our ability to continue to evolve our services and to create successful new services, both independently and in conjunction with developers or other third parties. We may introduce significant changes to our services or acquire or introduce new and unproven services, including using technologies with which we have little or no prior development or operating experience. These efforts, including the introduction of new services or changes to existing services, may result in new or enhanced governmental or regulatory scrutiny, litigation, ethical concerns, or other complications that could adversely affect our business, reputation, or financial results. If our services fail to engage users or developers, or if our business plans are unsuccessful, we may fail to attract or retain users or to generate sufficient revenue, operating margin, or other value to justify our investments and our business may be adversely affected.

We operate in a rapidly developing industry and have an evolving business model with no history of generating revenue from our colocation services. In addition, our evolving business model increases the complexity of our business, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future business prospects and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our business model has evolved in the past and continues to do so. After originally being founded in order to engage in the business of verifying and confirming transactions on a blockchain (also known as transaction processing, or "mining"), we have transitioned to provide colocation services to other HPC customers. We have not yet generated revenue from providing HPC services, and we do not know whether our change in business model will be successful. The evolution of and modifications to our business strategy will continue to increase the complexity of our business and have placed significant strain on our management, personnel, operations, systems, technical performance, and financial resources. Future additions to, or modifications of, our business strategy are likely to have similar effects. Further, any new services that we offer in the future that are not favorably received by the market could damage our reputation or our brand. We may not ever generate sufficient revenues or achieve profitably in the future or have adequate working capital to meet our obligations.

We cannot be certain that our current business strategy or any new or revised business strategies will be successful or that we will successfully address the risks we face. In the event that we do not effectively evaluate future business prospects, successfully implement new strategies, or adapt to our evolving industry, it will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Risks of Regulatory Laws, Regulatory Frameworks, and Legal Action

Regulatory developments surrounding HPC may negatively impact our efforts to expand into HPC hosting.

The regulatory landscape surrounding HPC and AI is evolving rapidly, and we anticipate increased scrutiny and potential regulation in the near and long term. These developments may affect our business and operations in ways that are difficult to predict.

There are growing concerns about the ethical implications and potential misuse of the growing AI technologies and the AI landscape is facing challenges and uncertainties. The development of more advanced AI systems, such as large language models and generative AI, has raised concerns about potential misuse, bias, and the displacement of human workers. Governments and regulatory bodies are considering measures to ensure responsible development and deployment of AI systems, including guidelines for transparency, accountability, and fairness. We expect that regulatory efforts in this area will continue to evolve and potentially affect our business.

Any potential use of emerging technologies like AI, machine learning, and generative AI could lead to unintended consequences and result in reputational harm and litigation.

We continue to evaluate emerging technologies like AI, machine learning, and generative AI for incorporation into our business. State and federal regulations relating to these emerging technologies are quickly evolving, and should we adopt such technologies, we may require significant resources to maintain our business practices while seeking to comply with U.S. laws. Any failure to accurately identify and address our responsibilities and liabilities in this new environment could negatively affect any solutions we develop by incorporating such technologies and could subject us to reputational harm, regulatory action, or litigation, any of which may harm our financial condition and operating results. These same risks apply to our use of third-party service providers who are implementing these tools into the products or services they provide to us.

We may become involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business that may materially adversely affect us.

From time to time, we may become involved in various legal proceedings relating to matters incidental to the ordinary course of our business, including intellectual property, commercial, product liability, employment, class action, whistleblower and other litigation and claims, and governmental and other regulatory investigations and proceedings. Attending to such matters can be time-consuming, divert management's attention and resources, cause us to incur significant expenses or liability, or require us to change our business practices. Because of the potential risks, expenses, and uncertainties of litigation, we may, from time to time, settle disputes, even where we believe that we have meritorious claims or defenses, and we cannot assure you that the results of any of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our business. Adverse outcomes in such proceedings or claims could result in significant liabilities, monetary damages, fines, or injunctive relief, which may materially affect our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Additionally, the uncertainty surrounding litigation and the potential for adverse publicity related to such matters could harm our reputation and brand image, affecting customer confidence and investor perception.

Changing environmental regulation and public energy policy may expose our business to new risks.

Our HPC data center operations will require a substantial amount of power and can only be successful, and ultimately profitable, if the costs we incur, including for electricity, are lower than the revenue we generate from our operations. As a result, any HPC data center facility we establish can only be successful if we can obtain sufficient electrical power for that facility on a cost-effective basis, and our establishment of new facilities requires us to find locations where that is the case. If new regulations are imposed, or if existing regulations are modified, the assumptions we made underlying our plans and strategic initiatives may be inaccurate, and we may incur additional costs to adapt our planned business, if we are able to adapt at all, to such regulations.

New legislation and increased regulation regarding climate change could impose significant costs on us and our suppliers, including costs related to increased energy requirements, capital equipment, environmental monitoring and reporting, and other costs to comply with such regulations. Further, any future climate change regulations could also negatively impact our ability to compete with companies situated in areas not subject to such limitations.

Given the political significance and uncertainty around the impact of climate change and how it should be addressed, and energy disclosure and use regulations, we cannot predict how legislation and regulation will affect our financial condition and results of operations in the future. Further, even without such regulation, increased awareness and any adverse publicity in the global marketplace about potential impacts on climate change or energy use by us or other companies in our industry could harm our reputation. Any of the foregoing could result in a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Risks Related to Operating in Sweden and Europe

Our operations in Sweden, Europe, and internationally as a whole could expose us to substantial business, regulatory, political, financial, and economic risks.

As our currently planned data center and operations will be located in Europe, specifically Sweden, we may be exposed to substantial risks associated with doing business in Europe, such as risks associated with taxation, inflation, AI legislation, environmental regulations, foreign currency exchange rates, the labor market, property and financial regulations, public health crises, and the outbreak of hostilities or war. Our ability to operate in Sweden and Europe may be adversely affected by changes in, or our failure to comply with, foreign laws and regulations. Recent U.S. trade policies and tariffs have created uncertainties affecting business operations in the U.K., EU, and a number of other countries, which could increase volatility in exchange rates, market instability, costs, and other risks.

We may be susceptible to prolonged periods of inflationary pressure, including the risk of energy shortages and elevated electricity and energy prices throughout Europe.

In 2022, amid the war between Russia and Ukraine, the European energy crisis escalated as the costs of electricity and gas increased, along with fueling supply uncertainties, and the risk of an energy shortage across Europe due to the lack of gas from Russia. This resulted in decisive measures implemented by the European Union ("EU") to help manage security of supply and establish new sources of gas. Our business will be heavily exposed to both gas and electricity prices used to power our data centers and operating equipment. Consequently, the rising energy costs may negatively affect our profitability and reduce our competitive position compared to competitors operating outside Europe where the energy crisis has been less pronounced.

Existing and new laws, rules, regulations, and orders may impose additional security requirements on our operations.

Existing and new laws, rules, regulations, and orders relating to the security of our networks and data processing may cause us to incur additional compliance costs or limit our ability to provide certain services in some locations. For example, we may incur additional costs relating to new cybersecurity requirements in the EU pursuant to the E.U. Network Information Security 2 Directive ("NIS2"), which has defined some data center providers as "essential" given their role in the European economy. The increase in incidents, such as ransomware attacks, data breaches, and denial-of-service ("DoS") attacks, perpetrated against data center providers has led to enhanced audit and inspection measures with which we may have to comply in the future. As a result, we may have to expend significant resources ensuring that our security management frameworks and cybersecurity meet the requisite standards.

Fluctuations in currency exchange rates could negatively affect our earnings.

As our business operations are located outside of the United States, specifically in Sweden and throughout Europe, we anticipate that our business will be conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Any fluctuation in the value of the Swedish krona ("SEK"), or other European currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, could impact the financial result when converting foreign revenue, expenses, and profits into U.S. dollars. Although we will closely monitor potential exposures as a result of these fluctuations in currencies and, where cost-justified, we may adopt strategies that are designed to reduce the impact of these fluctuations on our financial performance, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in managing our foreign exchange risk. Any material fluctuations in currencies could have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock

As of the year ended December 31, 2024, we were a shell company and as such shareholders cannot rely on the provisions of Rule 144 for the resale of their shares until certain conditions are met.

We have been a shell company as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act"). As securities issued by a former shell company, the securities issued by us can only be resold pursuant to an effective registration statement and not by utilizing the provisions of Rule 144 until certain conditions are met, including that: (i) we are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, (ii) we have filed all required reports under the Exchange Act of the preceding 12 months and (iii) one year has elapsed since we filed "Form 10" information (e.g. audited financial statements, management information and compensation, shareholder information, etc.). Thus, a shareholder of ours will not be able to sell its shares until such time as a registration statement for those shares is filed or we become a reporting company, we have remained current on our Exchange Act filings for 12 months and we have filed the information as would be required by a "Form 10" filing.

Future issuance of our common stock could dilute the interests of our existing shareholders, particularly in connection with an acquisition and any resulting financing.

We may issue additional shares of our common stock in the future. The issuance of a substantial amount of our common stock could substantially dilute the interests of our shareholders. In addition, the sale of a substantial amount of common stock in the public market, either in the initial issuance or in a subsequent resale by the target company in a business combination which received our common stock as consideration or by investors who has previously acquired such common stock could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

Our registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 could be revoked by the Securities and Exchange Commission if we fail to file required reports.

If we fail to file reports as required under the Exchange Act, we may lose our registration. While we intend to comply with the Exchange Act's reporting requirements moving forward, due to lack of working capital we may be unable to comply in the future as we did in the past. If we are unable to comply with the SEC reporting provisions in the future, such failure will affect the liquidity of our common stock and act as a depressant to the price.

Due to recent changes to Rule 15c2-11 under the Exchange Act, our common stock may become subject to limitations or reductions on stock price, liquidity or volume.

On September 16, 2020, the SEC adopted amendments to Rule 15c2-11 under the Exchange Act. This Rule applies to broker-dealers who quote securities listed on over-the-counter markets such as our common stock. The Rule as amended prohibits broker-dealers from publishing quotations on OTC markets for an issuer's securities unless they are based on current publicly available information about the issuer. When it becomes effective, the amended Rule will also limit the Rule's "piggyback" exception, which allows broker-dealers to publish quotations for a security in reliance on the quotations of a broker-dealer that initially performed the information review required by the Rule, to issuers with current publicly available information or issuers that are up to date in their Exchange Act reports. As of this date, we are uncertain as to what actual effect the Rule may have on us. The Rule changes could harm the liquidity and/or market price of our common stock by either preventing our shares from being quoted or driving up our costs of compliance.

We are subject to the "penny stock" rules which will adversely affect the liquidity of our common stock.

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. We do not expect our stock price to be above $5.00 in the foreseeable future. The "penny stock" designation will require any broker-dealer selling our securities to disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities. These rules will limit the ability of broker-dealers to solicit purchases of our common stock and therefore reduce the liquidity of the public market for our shares.

Broker-dealers are increasingly reluctant to permit investors to buy or sell speculative unlisted stock and often impose costs which make it uneconomical for small shareholders to do so. Moreover, as a result of apparent regulatory pressure from the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), a growing number of broker-dealers decline to permit investors to purchase and sell or otherwise make it difficult to sell shares of penny stocks. The "penny stock" designation may have a depressive effect upon our common stock price.

The issuance of shares upon exercise of our outstanding options or warrants or the conversion of outstanding promissory notes may cause immediate and substantial dilution to our existing shareholders.

As of April 30, 2025 we have options and warrants that if exercised would result in the issuance of an additional 1,436,587,202 shares of our common stock, and our outstanding convertible notes are presently convertible into approximately 177,215,415 shares of common stock. The issuance of shares upon exercise of warrants and options and/or the conversion of convertible notes will result in dilution to the interests of other shareholders.
