ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Company History and Overview
History of Edge Data Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation
EDGE DATA SOLUTIONS, INC. (the “Company”), formerly Blockchain Holdings Capital Ventures, Inc. (formerly Southeastern Holdings, Inc., formerly Safe Lane Systems, Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Colorado on September 10, 2013. Safe Lane Systems, Inc. redomiciled to become a Delaware holding corporation in September of 2016. On September 22, 2016, Safe Lane Systems, Inc. formed two wholly owned subsidiaries, SLS Industrial, Inc and Southeastern Holdings, Inc. (both Delaware corporations) and on September 30, 2016 completed a merger and reorganization in which Southeastern Holdings, Inc. (now Edge Data Solutions, Inc.) became the holding company. On December 1, 2016, the Company spun off its wholly owned subsidiary, SLS Industrial, Inc., along with its assets and liabilities, leaving Southeastern Holdings, Inc. as the only surviving entity.
On August 23, 2018, the Company entered into a Bill of Sale and Assignment and Assumption Agreement with Blockchain Holdings, LLC (“Blockchain”) pursuant to which the Company purchased all of the assets of Blockchain which are used in the business of sourcing of blockchain mining equipment from various suppliers for their customers and also providing management of the equipment hosted, mining pools and tech work on such equipment. The Company issued 300,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $.0001 valued at $300,000 to the members of Blockchain in exchange for the assets of Blockchain.
The Company has accounted for this transaction as a reverse recapitalization under ASC 805, under which the operating entity, Blockchain Holdings, LLC, adopted the assets, liabilities and equity structure of Edge Data Solutions, Inc. on August 23, 2018, while retaining its historical activity. The financial statements therefore present activity beginning with Blockchain Holdings, LLC’s inception date of February 5, 2018 through September 30, 2018.
On August 30, 2018 the Company changed its name to Blockchain Holdings Capital Ventures, Inc.
On January 13, 2020, the Company changed its name to Edge Data Solutions, Inc.
Edge Data Solutions, Inc is poised to be an industry-leading infrastructure provider. In an increasingly data-driven world, GPU computing is changing the way we create, learn, and play. Through strategic partners, the Company has assembled a full-stack solution to help businesses realize the potential of CPU/GPU computing, backed by a rapidly growing network of high-density modular data centers that place compute directly at the point of data collection, reducing latency, improving performance and security.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. However, the above conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. New business opportunities may never emerge, and we may not be able to sufficiently fund the pursuit of new business opportunities should they arise.
As of December 31, 2020, we had approximately $80,368 in cash on hand. Our current monthly cash burn rate is approximately $35,000, and it is expected that burn rate will continue and is not expected to increase until significant additional capital is raised, and our marketing plan is executed. Our trade creditors may call debts at any time, and our cash reserves would not be sufficient to satisfy all balances. We are currently dependent on loans, advances and other cash infusions from the Company’s Chairman and CEO Mr. Wannemacher, and President and Director, Daniel Wong. There is no guarantee that such cash infusions will continue to be made.
COMPANY BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Our Company, originally Safe Lane Systems, Inc., was formed to develop the marketing of, and contract the manufacturing of, certain products resulting from the development of IP in design and manufacturing by Superior Traffic Controls, Inc. We licensed certain IP under a Master License and a Sub License to capitalize the marketing and contract manufacturing of certain products.
After spinning off the assets and liabilities of our traffic safety division in December 2016, we no longer possess the aforementioned intellectual property or rights thereto and have implemented a new business model.

The independent registered public accounting firm’s report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, includes a “going concern” explanatory paragraph, that describes substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
General
EDGE DATA SOLUTIONS, INC. (the “Company”), formerly Blockchain Holdings Capital Ventures, Inc. (formerly Southeastern Holdings, Inc., formerly Safe Lane Systems, Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Colorado on September 10, 2013. Safe Lane Systems, Inc. redomiciled to become a Delaware holding corporation in September of 2016. On September 22, 2016, Safe Lane Systems, Inc. formed two wholly owned subsidiaries, SLS Industrial, Inc and Southeastern Holdings, Inc. (both Delaware corporations) and on September 30, 2016 completed a merger and reorganization in which Southeastern Holdings, Inc. (now Edge Data Solutions, Inc.) became the holding company. On December 1, 2016, the Company spun off its wholly owned subsidiary, SLS Industrial, Inc., along with its assets and liabilities, leaving Southeastern Holdings, Inc. as the only surviving entity.
On August 23, 2018, the Company entered into a Bill of Sale and Assignment and Assumption Agreement with Blockchain Holdings, LLC (“Blockchain”), pursuant to which the Company purchased all of the assets of Blockchain which are used in the business of sourcing of blockchain mining equipment from various suppliers for their customers and also providing management of the equipment hosted, mining pools and tech work on such equipment. The Company issued 300,000,000 (equivalent to 3,000,000 after the reverse split) shares of its common stock, par value $.0001 to the members of Blockchain in exchange for the assets of Blockchain.
On August 30, 2018 the Company changed its name to Blockchain Holdings Capital Ventures, Inc.
On January 13, 2020, the Company changed its name to Edge Data Solutions, Inc.
Edge Data Solutions, Inc. (EDSI) is poised to be an industry-leading edge data center and cloud infrastructure provider. EDSI’s proprietary Edge Performance Platform (EPP) allows us to deploy next-generation edge data centers where they are needed most. EDSI’s data centers provide next-generation immersion Cooling technology that improves performance, reduces energy costs and latency. Key industries we serve more computing power are fintech, cloud gaming, telecom 5G, 3D/video/AI rendering, video streaming, remote desktop, IoT, autonomous vehicles. Centralized infrastructure facilities servicing multiple geographical areas encounter many issues with data latency, congestion and weak network connections. To address this, data processing is moving closer to the customer. EDSI offers green, low-cost, secure colocation and private data hosting to meet this demand for Edge data centers. EDSI plans to deploy to strategic locations based on demand for Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities outside the major metropolitans to underserved markets, supporting both edge customers and areas of projected growth. With the rise and proliferation of this technology adoption we plan to solidify our footprint by securing multiple locations across the US, while generating revenue from our operations. The modular design and ability to add additional data centers as needed, preserves up front capital allowing for rapid deployment and scalability as business demand increases.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. However, the above conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. New business opportunities may never emerge, and we may not be able to sufficiently fund the pursuit of new business opportunities should they arise.
As of December 31, 2020, we had $80,368 in cash on hand. Our current monthly cash burn rate is approximately $35,000, and it is expected that burn rate will continue and is expected to continue at $35,000 until significant additional capital is raised and our marketing plan is executed. Our trade creditors may call debts at any time, and our cash reserves would not be sufficient to satisfy all balances. We are currently dependent on minimal expenses to be covered by a loan or other cash infusion from the Company’s CEO and Director Mr. Wannamaker, and President and Director, Daniel Wong. There is no guarantee that this cash infusion will continue to be made.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
During 2020, we generated limited revenues from customers’ usage of our data center resources. We generated a net loss and have negative capital and no intangible assets. We are illiquid and need cash infusions from investors or shareholders to provide capital, or loans from any sources, none of which have been committed nor assured.
We are currently seeking to grow our customer base and to increase our current customers’ reliance on and usage of our resources. Further, we are seeking to expand into the sale and resale of modular data centers and related equipment. While our efforts have generated limited revenue and gross margins, there can be no assurances that these efforts will be successful or produce sufficient income or cash inflows from operations. As a result, we are dependent upon capital from investors to finance our operations and continue as a going concern.
Our goals for the next year are as follows:
Future Milestones
● Plan on raising capital to fully execute on the business plan
● Plan on up-listing to OTCQB
● Plan on filing an S-1 to register stock and build a market
APPLICATION OF FUNDS (1)
(1) These items are variable and no commitment has been obtained from any source.
The Company may change any or all of the budget categories in the execution of its business model. None of the line items are to be considered fixed or unchangeable. The Company may need substantial additional capital to support its budget.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. Our Budget for operations in next year is as follows:
(1) These items are variable and no commitment has been obtained from any source.
We will need substantial additional capital to support our future operations. We have no revenues and have no committed source for any funds as of the date hereof. No representation is made that any funds will be available when needed. In the event funds cannot be raised when needed, we may not be able to carry out our business plan, may never achieve sales or royalty income, and could fail in business as a result of these uncertainties. If our initial prospect appears uneconomical after evaluation we will seek other prospects it the area to acquire or farm into.
We may also consider a private placement or public offering of our common stock, if the market conditions allow at the time. No price, schedule or terms for such an offering has been determined at this time. We expect to expend funds on a quarterly basis, as follows:
Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019
During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company generated revenues of $34,670 and $0 and incurred associated costs of $24,092 and $0, for gross margins of $10,578 and $0, all respectively, representing increases of $34,670 (100%), $24,092 (100%) and $10,578 (100%), all respectively, due to generation of revenue in 2020. While the Company generated revenue in 2020, the customer base is heavily concentrated, volume is limited, and there can be no guarantee of future revenue growth.
During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred $1,059 and $13,401, respectively, of sales and marketing expenses and $221,942 and $197,554, respectively, of general and administrative costs, including consulting fees, professional services fees and other administrative costs. Sales and marketing costs decreased by $12,342, or 92%, due to the focus on developing the Company’s data center and use of relationships to acquire initial customers. General and administrative costs increased by $24,388, or 12%, as a result of new costs associated with operations.
During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred depreciation expense of $17,519 and $0, respectively, with the increase being a result of new equipment being acquired and placed in service during 2020.
During 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $381,900 and $127 of stock-based compensation expense, respectively, from the issuance of its common shares to consultants and advisors. The Company also paid compensation of $90,000 to the CEO and $84,040 to the President in 2020, as compared to $27,000 and $44,000, respectively in 2019, for increases of $63,000 and $40,040, respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized $66,135 of interest expense, as compared to $19,668 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase of $46,467 or 236%, is primarily attributable to the accrual of interest on significant new convertible debt issuances in late 2019 and throughout 2020 and also includes interest incurred by related parties who paid expenses on behalf of the Company.
Aside from interest expense, during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized net other income of $2,306 and $0, respectively, for an increase of $2,306 or 100%. The change was a result of $23,000 of acquisition deposits written off after termination of a prospective acquisition, $12,250 of debt forgiveness from a vendor, and a $1,000 grant from the United States Small Business Administration, $4,847 of cryptocurrency mining income, gains of $1,018 on disposal of crypto assets, and a gain of $4,965 from the sale of certain equipment from its data center in September 2020.
As a result, the Company incurred net operating losses of $850,936 and $301,750 for years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, for an increase of $549,186, or 182%, to net losses. This change was primarily a result of increased stock-based compensation and increases in executive compensation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During 2019, the Company sold 266,667 shares (equivalent to 2,667 post-split) of common stock to its former CEO for proceeds of $40,000.
In May 2019, the Company issued $100,000 of convertible debt to two individuals. The debt bears annual interest of 10% and was scheduled to mature in May 2020. In January 2020, the noteholders agreed to convert $100,000 of principal and $6,966 of accrued interest into 427,862 equity units, each consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and a three-year warrant to purchase two shares at $0.50 per share. These conversions occurred in connection with two subscriptions totaling $50,000, or $25,000 each, from the same noteholders in January 2020, in which the noteholders received 200,000 additional units similar to those previously described. The total number of units issued in connection with the conversions and subscriptions was 627,862.
In November 2019, the Company issued a convertible note to an individual for proceeds of $100,000. The note bears 10% interest per annum, matures in November 2020 and is convertible at a 30% discount in the event of an equity financing exceeding $1,000,000.
In January 2020, the Company issued 627,862 equity units, each consisting of three-year warrant to purchase two shares of the Company’s common stock for $0.50 each and one share of the Company’s common stock, to two individuals in exchange for conversion of $100,000 of convertible notes and $6,966 of accrued interest and an additional $50,000 of cash.
In February 2020, the Company issued two one-year convertible notes for total proceeds of $110,000, each bearing interest at 10% annually and calling for conversion at a 30% discount in the event of a financing event exceeding $1,000,000.
In April 2020, the Company issued three one-year convertible notes for total proceeds of $150,000, bearing interest at rates ranging from 10-12% per annum and calling for conversion at a 30% discount in the event of a financing event exceeding $1,000,000.
In June 2020, the Company issued a one-year convertible note for total proceeds of $50,000, bearing interest at 12% per annum and calling for conversion at a 30% discount in the event of a financing event exceeding $1,000,000.
In July 2020, the Company issued a one-year convertible note for total proceeds of $25,000, bearing interest at 10% per annum and calling for conversion at a 30% discount in the event of a financing event exceeding $1,000,000.
In August 2020, the Company issued three one-year convertible notes for total proceeds of $175,000, each bearing interest at 10% per annum and calling for conversion at a 30% discount in the event of a financing event exceeding $1,000,000.
In December 2020, the Company issued five one-year convertible notes for total proceeds of $110,000, each bearing interest at 15% per annum and calling for conversion at a 30% discount in the event of a financing event exceeding $1,000,000.
During the twelve months ending December 31, 2021, the Company estimates it will need approximately $420,000 to pursue business opportunities. The Company currently generates limited revenues from its edge computing offerings, but the industry has many competitors, and is seeking to expand into the data center hardware business. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in its efforts to generate new revenue or grow its existing revenue streams. Furthermore, while the Company has generated income from the use of idle resources to mine cryptocurrency, the availability and cost of using resources for such purposes and the volatile cryptocurrency markets may impede the Company’s ability to generate additional cash inflows. Other than the foregoing, the Company does not know of any trends, events or uncertainties that have had, or are reasonably expected to have, a material impact on sales, revenues or income from continuing operations, or liquidity and capital resources.
Short Term
On a short-term basis, we anticipate continued generation of edge computing revenues and the use of idle capacity to mine cryptocurrency. Based on prior history, we anticipate that short-term revenues and other cryptocurrency-related income will be insufficient to satisfy current and future liabilities as we continue to pursue expansion of our current customer base and expand into the hardware business.
No commitments to provide additional funds have been made by our management or other stockholders. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any additional funds will be available to us to allow it to cover our expenses as they may be incurred.
Capital Resources
Our capital resources currently consist of cash, advances from and expenses paid on the Company’s behalf by the CEO and President, convertible debt financing, and the sale of equity units.
Need for Additional Financing
We do not have sufficient capital to meet our cash needs. Nor do we have sufficient capital to meet our short-term trade and debt obligations. We plan to seek loans or equity placements to cover such cash needs. Once full business operations commence, our needs for additional financing will likely face substantial increases.
Within the next twelve months we will need to secure an additional $5,000,000 in financing to fully implement our plan of operations. After the twelve-month period we do not see a need to raise additional capital unless we identify other assets to purchase.
No commitments have been made to provide additional funding by our management or other stockholders. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any additional funds will be available to us to allow it to cover our expenses as they may be incurred.
Critical Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.
Impairment of Long-life Assets
In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income Tax
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under ASC 740, deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Fiscal year
The Company employs a fiscal year ending December 31.
Net Income (Loss) per share
The net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common outstanding. Warrants, stock warrants, and common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company’s preferred stock (if any), are not included in the computation if the effect would be anti-dilutive and would increase the earnings or decrease loss per share.
Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, as reported in the accompanying balance sheet, are stated at fair value.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company adopted the provisions of and accounts for stock-based compensation using an estimate of value in accordance with the fair value method. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which generally is the vesting period. The Company elected the modified-prospective method, under which prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes. The valuation method applies to new grants and to grants that were outstanding as of the effective date and are subsequently modified.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of accounts payable is considered to be representative of respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, using the following five-step model, which requires that the Company: (1) identify a contract with the customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations and (5) recognize revenue as performance obligations are satisfied. The Company’s current and anticipated revenue streams consist of:
1. GPU as a Service- The Company owns and operates high performance servers to provide hardware acceleration for rendering farms to process 3D and video rendering and gaming. In addition, these multi-purpose servers produce revenue from mining when the servers are not processing other jobs to ensure zero idle time and have the ability to run AI and HPC processing as well.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Edge Data Solutions, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Edge Data Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for the years ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory Paragraph - Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses since inception and has a working capital deficiency both of which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The Company maintains the calendar year as its basis of reporting.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Cash Balance
The Company considers all highly liquid securities with an original maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s cash balances did not exceed federally insured limits.
EDGE DATA SOLUTIONS, INC. (Formerly Blockchain Holdings Capital Ventures, Inc.)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and for the Years then Ended
Right of Use Assets and Lease Liabilities
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard requires lessees to recognize almost all leases on the balance sheet as a Right-of-Use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability and requires leases to be classified as either an operating or a finance type lease. The standard excludes leases of intangible assets or inventory. The standard became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. Since the Company had no leases in place prior to or during 2019, the Company has adopted ASC 842 prospectively and has applied it to its first lease agreement in 2020.
Under ASC 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. For this purpose, the Company considers only payments that are fixed and determinable at the time of commencement. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimated the incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made prior to commencement and is recorded net of any lease incentives received. The Company’ lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options.
Inventory
The Company values inventory at its original cost, adjusted to approximate the lower of actual cost or estimated net realizable value using assumptions about future demand and market conditions. In determining excess or obsolescence reserves for its products, the Company considers assumptions such as changes in business and economic conditions, other-than-temporary decreases in demand for its products, and changes in technology or customer requirements. In determining the lower of cost or net realizable value reserves, the Company considers assumptions such as recent historical sales activity and selling prices, as well as estimates of future selling prices. The Company fully reserves for inventories and non-cancellable purchase orders for inventory deemed obsolete. The Company performs periodic reviews of inventory items to identify excess inventories on hand by comparing on-hand balances and non-cancellable purchase orders to anticipated usage using recent historical activity as well as anticipated or forecasted demand. If estimates of customer demand diminish further or market conditions become less favorable than those projected by the Company, additional inventory carrying value adjustments may be required.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s had no inventory and made deposits of $46,122 with a vendor for an inventory purchase.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, and accumulated impairment, if any. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives, which are all currently estimated at three years.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s property and equipment consisted of $70,786 of data center equipment and $13,347 of capitalized labor associated with readying the equipment for service, net of $16,641 of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense for year ended December 31, 2020 was $17,519.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that an asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets are grouped with other assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. If the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets are written down to the estimated fair value. As of December 31, 2020, the Company determined that its long-lived assets have not been impaired.
Deferred Offering Costs
The Company accumulates costs incurred directly in connection with its unclosed securities offering, as announced on October 13, 2020, as deferred offering costs. In the event the offering is successful, the Company will record all related costs as an offset to additional paid-in capital. In the even the Company terminates the offering or management deems the offering will not likely be successful, the Company will charge these costs to expense in the period in which such a determination is made. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred $21,000 of costs related to this offering. In March 2021, the Company terminated the offering and wrote off the $21,000 of deferred offering costs to general and administrative expense in 2020.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded instruments and listed equities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (e.g., quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities inactive markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active).
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets approximate their fair value.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, using the following five-step model, which requires that the Company: (1) identify a contract with the customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations and (5) recognize revenue as performance obligations are satisfied. The Company’s current and anticipated revenue streams consist of:
1. GPU as a Service- The Company owns and operates high performance servers to provide hardware acceleration for rendering farms to process 3D and video rendering and gaming. In addition, these multi-purpose servers produce revenue from mining when the servers are not processing other jobs to ensure zero idle time and have the ability to run AI and HPC processing as well.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized $34,670 of revenue from its customers’ usage of data center credits. The Company further recognized a deferred revenue liability of $1,035 for prepaid usage credits not yet used by its customers as of December 31, 2020 and accrued revenue for used and unpaid credits totaling $651 as of December 31, 2020. While the Company generated limited revenue in 2020, there can be no assurances that edge computing services will generate satisfactory revenue or continue to generate revenue.
Crypto Assets Held
The crypto assets held by the Company, with no qualifying fair value hedge, are accounted for as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, and are initially measured at cost. Crypto assets accounted for as intangible assets are not amortized, but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, which is measured using the quoted price of the crypto asset at the time its fair value is being measured. Impairment expense is reflected in other operating expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company assigns costs to transactions on a first-in, first-out basis.
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the carrying value of crypto assets held by the Company was $1,197 and $0, respectively.
Cryptocurrency Income
The Company records cryptocurrency generated, net of fees and valuation adjustments, as other income and classifies the cryptocurrency as crypto assets held at cost in its balance sheets. When the company sells its cryptocurrencies, it recognizes a gain or loss for the difference between original cost and the selling price, net of fees. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized $4,847 of cryptocurrency mining income and gains of $1,018 on the sale of cryptocurrency.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based payments pursuant to ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” and, accordingly, the Company records compensation expense for share-based awards based upon an assessment of the grant date fair value for stock options and restricted stock awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Stock compensation expense for stock options is recognized over the vesting period of the award or expensed immediately when stock or options are awarded for previous or current service without further recourse.
Income Taxes
The Company is subject to taxation in various jurisdictions and may be subject to examination by various authorities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company recognizes the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events and transactions that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns.

NOTE 3: GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2020, the Company had $80,368 of cash and $137,415 of current assets, as compared to total current liabilities of $987,404, has incurred substantial operating losses, and had an accumulated deficit of $1,410,634. Furthermore, the Company’s revenue history has been limited and unstable, and there can be no assurances of future revenues.
Given these factors, the Company is dependent on financing from outside parties, and management intends to pursue outside capital through debt and equity vehicles. There is no assurance that these efforts will materialize or be successful or sufficient to fund operations and meet obligations as they come due.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, however, the above conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 4: STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIENCY
The Company has designated ten million (10,000,000) shares of its preferred stock, par value $0.001 as Class A Preferred Super Majority Voting Stock (“Class A”).

Class A shares have a vote equal to the number of shares of common stock of the Company which would give the holders of the Class A shares a vote equal to sixty percent (60%) of the common stock. This vote shall be exercised pro-rata by the holders of the Class A. The Company shall have the right to redeem, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time one (1) year after the date of issuance of such Class A shares, all or any portion of the shares of Class A at a price of one cent ($0.01) per share. On October 4, 2018, the Company issued a total of 7,000,000 Class A shares to its CEO and President (formerly COO) as stock-based compensation for services rendered.
The Company has not currently authorized a Class B designation of Preferred Stock.

Each share of Class C shall be convertible into one (1) shares of common stock. The holders of Class C shall be entitled to receive the same dividend as the holders of the common stock and such dividend shall be paid pro rata per share on a fully converted basis. The holders of Class C shall have piggyback registration rights. The Company shall have the right to redeem, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time after five (5) years, all or any portion of the shares of Class C at a price of five dollars ($5.00) per share.

On October 4, 2018, the Company issued a total of 7,000,000 Class C shares to its CEO and President (formerly COO) as stock-based compensation for services rendered. Subsequently, in April 2019, the Company filed an amended and restated certificate of designation, which restricts the CEO and President from converting the 7,000,000 shares into common stock for 36 months from the issuance date.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company was authorized to issue 150,000,000 shares of common stock. All common stock shares have full dividend and voting rights. However, it is not anticipated that the Company will be declaring dividends in the foreseeable future.

Conversion terms call for conversion of principal and accrued interest at 70% of the stock price upon closing any offering resulting in aggregate financing of at least $1,000,000.
In April 2020, the Company issued three short-term convertible notes for total proceeds of $150,000. These notes mature one year from execution and accrue interest at rates ranging from 10-12% per annum.

In August 2020, the Company issued two short-term convertible notes totaling $75,000. The notes mature one year from execution and accrue interest at 10% per annum. Conversion terms call for conversion of principal and accrued interest at the lesser of (i) 70% of the stock price or (ii) $0.50 per share, upon closing any offering resulting in aggregate financing of at least $1,000,000.
In December 2020, the Company issued five short-term convertible notes totaling $110,000. The notes mature one year from execution and accrue interest at 15% per annum.

The Company evaluated the convertible notes in light of ASC 470 and determined that a beneficial conversion feature exists. However, given the contingent nature of the holder’s option and the lack of a market for the Company’s stock, the Company concluded that such a feature is not currently ascertainable and allocated the full principal amount to the convertible note liability.
During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $43,437 and $7,266 of interest expense on convertible debt, respectively. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, accrued interest on convertible debt was $43,737 and $7,266, net of converted interest of $6,966 and $0 during the years then ended, respectively.
The Company evaluated the convertible notes in light of ASC 470 and determined that a beneficial conversion feature exists, due to the fixed discount on conversion established in the notes. However, given the lack of a market for the Company’s stock and no imminent conversion events, the Company concluded that such a feature would be trivial in value and allocated the full principal amount to the convertible note liability.
Furthermore, the Company evaluated whether the features in these notes constitute embedded derivatives and should therefore be accounted for under ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging and has determined that there are no embedded derivatives.

NOTE 8: INCOME TAX
The Company recorded no deferred income tax provision or benefit for the years ended December 31, 2020 or 2019, because the Company believes it is more likely than not that net operating loss carryforwards will not be utilized in the near future due to net losses. The Company has generated no taxable income. The income tax provision (benefit) differs from the amount computed by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate of 21% plus applicable state rates to the loss before income taxes due to the unrecognized benefit resulting from the Company’s valuation allowance, as well as due to nondeductible expenses. The Company’s blended tax rate of 21% currently consists of 21% for U.S. Federal income tax and 0% for Delaware state income taxes. The following tables set forth the Company’s analysis of its deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances:

Internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
● Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
● Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
● Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use of disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. Based on this assessment, management believes that as of December 31, 2020, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective based on those criteria.
Specifically, management’s evaluation identified the following material weaknesses, which existed as of December 31, 2020:
(1) Financial Reporting Systems: We did not maintain a fully integrated financial consolidation and reporting system throughout the period and as a result, extensive manual analysis, reconciliation and adjustments were required in order to produce financial statements for external reporting purposes.
(2) Segregation of Duties: We do not currently have a sufficient complement of technical accounting and external reporting personal commensurate to support standalone external financial reporting under public company or SEC requirements. Specifically, the Company did not effectively segregate certain accounting duties due to the small size of its accounting staff, and maintain a sufficient number of adequately trained personnel necessary to anticipate and identify risks critical to financial reporting and the closing process. In addition, there were inadequate reviews and approvals by the Company’s personnel of certain reconciliations and other processes in day-to-day operations due to the lack of a full complement of accounting staff.
We believe that our weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls relate in part to the fact that we are a small reporting business with limited personnel. Management and the Board of Directors believe that the Company would need to allocate additional human and financial resources to address these matters, which at this time the Company does not have the financial capability to remediate. Management can give no assurances that it will ever be able to remediate such material weaknesses.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During our most recent fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a- 15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST - GENERAL.
Our directors and officers are, or may become, in their individual capacities, officers, directors, controlling shareholder and/or partners of other entities engaged in a variety of businesses. Thus, there exist potential conflicts of interest including, among other things, time, efforts and corporation opportunity, involved in participation with such other business entities. While the officers and directors of our business are engaged full time in our business activities, the amount of time they devote to other business may be up to approximately 10 hours per week.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST - CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES
Certain of our officers and directors may be directors and/or principal stockholders of other companies and, therefore, could face conflicts of interest with respect to potential acquisitions. In addition, our officers and directors may in the future participate in business ventures, which could be deemed to compete directly with us. Additional conflicts of interest and non-arms length transactions may also arise in the future in the event our officers or directors are involved in the management of any firm with which we transact business. Our Board of Directors currently has no policy in place to address such possibilities.
Our officers and directors may actively negotiate or otherwise consent to the purchase of a portion of their common stock as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition transaction. It is anticipated that a substantial premium over the initial cost of such shares may be paid by the purchaser in conjunction with any sale of shares by our officers and directors which is made as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition transaction. The fact that a substantial premium may be paid to our officers and directors to acquire their shares creates a potential conflict of interest for them in satisfying their fiduciary duties to us and our other stockholders. Even though such a sale could result in a substantial profit to them, they would be legally required to make the decision based upon the best interests of us and our other stockholders, rather than their own personal pecuniary benefit.
CODE OF ETHICS
Due to the limited scope of our current operations, we have not adopted a corporate code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar function.
