performance or achievements of the Company to be materially
different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. Such

receipt of all regulatory and third party approvals for the
Offering, including that of the TSX Venture Exchange, that the
Offering may not close within the timeframe anticipated or at all
or may not close on the terms and conditions currently anticipated
by the Company for a number of reasons including, without
limitation, as a result of issues arising that are subject to
certain termination provisions agreed to with the Underwriter,
settlement of definitive documentation, satisfaction of closing
conditions; the status and impact of new electrical power rates and
the status of deliberations by the Grant County Public Utility
District; risks relating to the global economic climate; dilution;
the Company’s limited operating history; future capital needs and
uncertainty of additional financing; the competitive nature of the
industry; currency exchange risks; the need for the Company to
manage its planned growth and expansion; the effects of product
development and need for continued technology change; protection of
proprietary rights; the effect of government regulation and
compliance on the Company and the industry; network security risks;

deterioration impeding access to capital or increasing the cost of
capital; volatile securities markets impacting security pricing
unrelated to operating performance; and, no assurance that the
Company will find a profitable undertaking to expand its business
or that it can successfully conclude a purchase of such an
undertaking at all or on terms which are commercially acceptable.
In addition, particular factors which could impact future results

impact of new electrical power rates which could impair

possible to profitably liquidate the current digital currency
inventory, or at all; a decline in digital currency prices may have
a significant negative impact on operations; the volatility of
digital currency prices; the anticipated growth and sustainability
of hydroelectricity for the purposes of cryptocurrency mining in
the Grant Count of the State of Washington, the ability to complete
current and future financings, any regulations or laws that will
prevent the Company from operating its business; historical prices
of digital currencies and the ability to mine digital currencies
that will be consistent with historical prices; an inability to
predict and counteract the effects of COVID-19 on the business of
the Company, including but not limited to the effects of COVID-19
on the price of digital currencies, capital market conditions,
restriction on labour and international travel and supply chains;
failure to identify beneficial business opportunities, failure to
convert the potential in the pursued business opportunities to
tangible benefits to the Company or its shareholders; and, there
will be no regulation or law that will prevent the Company from
operating its business. The Company has also assumed that no
significant events occur outside of the Company’s normal course of
business. Although the Company has attempted to identify important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there
may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated,
estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such
statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future
events could differ materially from those anticipated in such
statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on
