HASHCHAIN TECHNOLOGY REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2019 FINANCIAL REPORT

HashChain Technology Inc. has released its financial and operating results for the quarter ended Nov. 30, 2018.

"Despite challenges in the cryptocurrency market, the steps we have taken this past quarter served to align our plan of focusing solely on our mining operation and reduce G&A expenses going forward," said Patrick Gray, CEO of HashChain. "Acquisitions we made in prior periods to increase our inventory of mining rigs will allow us to ramp up in the future, as though cryptocurrencies continue to display volatility, we remain optimistic on the long-term prospects of crypto and blockchain as a revolutionary technology."

Quarterly Highlights

  • - 8,395 Bitcoin mining rigs in operation.
  • - Increased total coins mined over previous quarter production by 15%.
  • - Recognized operating revenue totaling $2.7 million from digital currency mining and Dash Masternode rewards.
  • - Strategically concentrated entire mining operation and rig inventory to Buffalo, New York data centre.
  • - Extinguished outstanding debts owed through the completion of the sale of the NODE40 software (see below).

On November 14, 2018, in order to relieve the Company of outstanding debt, minimize G&A expenses, and emphasize the vision of concentrating solely on cryptocurrency mining, the Company announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Global Crypto Public Accounting Ltd. had entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to sell the NODE40 operations.

The terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement between Global and the Buyer were as follows:

  • - Global agreed to deliver to the Buyer all assets and proprietary software related to the NODE40 platform.
  • - In exchange for the assets related to the NODE40 software, the Buyer agreed to forgive the US$5.2m of debt owed to it by Global.
  • - Global delivered to the Buyer an amount equal to CAD$400,000 less expenses paid for by Global from the period beginning on November 1, 2018 and ending on the closing date of the agreement.

The Company's net loss resulting for the three months ended November 30, 2018 was $3,341,785. Losses from unrealized currency revaluation and from the disposal of digital currencies reflected in the period ended totaled $338,569 and $387,676, respectively.

General and administrative expenses for the aforementioned three months were $1,312,899, which included a non-cash charge for share-based compensation of $758,700. Ongoing general and administration expenses relate to the Company's growth plans and compliance costs related to operating a public company.

Outlook

The Company continues to execute on its strategy to grow as a market leader in the blockchain infrastructure industry and will increase operations by bringing its digital currency mining footprint to 17.5 megawatts of computing power during 2019.

HashChain has deployed 8,395 mining rigs across its data centers. Upon deployment of the remaining 3,500 rigs previously acquired, the Company will have a total of 11,895 in operation.

The sale of the NODE40 software platform served to relieve the Company of outstanding debt and will greatly minimize G&A expenses going forward, as HashChain reemphasizes its vision of concentrating solely on cryptocurrency mining.
