NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021
NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
The
Crypto Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 9, 2017. The Company is engaged in the business of providing consulting,
training, and educational and related services for distributed ledger technologies (“blockchain”), for corporate and individual
clients, enterprises for general blockchain education, as well as for the building of technological infrastructure and enterprise blockchain
technology solutions. In recent periods the Company has generated revenues and incurred expenses primarily through these consulting and
related operations. In February 2022 the Company acquired bitcoin mining equipment and entered into an arrangement with a third party
to host and operate the equipment. The mining equipment generated approximately $21,000 in revenue during the nine
months ended September 30, 2022. Although the Company divested the bitcoining mining equipment
it acquired in February 2022, it owns twenty bitcoin miners it later acquired. The bitcoin miners the Company currently owns are not in
active operation due to market conditions. The Company expects to put its bitcoin miners into active operations when market conditions
indicate they can be profitably operated.
Unless
expressly indicated or the context requires otherwise, the terms “Crypto,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,”
and “our” in these consolidated financial statements refer to The Crypto Company and, where appropriate, its wholly-owned
subsidiary Blockchain Training Alliance, Inc. (“BTA”) and an inactive subsidiary Coin Tracking, LLC (“CoinTracking”).
The
Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) effective as of March 24, 2021 with BTA and its stockholders.
On April 8, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding stock of BTA and BTA became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company. As a result of this acquisition, the operations of BTA became consolidated with Company operations on April
8, 2021.
BTA
is a blockchain training company and service provider that provides training and educational courses focused on blockchain technology
and education as to the general understanding of blockchain to corporate and individual clients.
The
Company’s accounting year-end is December 31.
COVID-19
On
March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the Covid-19 outbreak to be a global pandemic. In addition to the devastating
effects on human life, the pandemic has, in general, had a negative ripple effect on the global economy, leading to disruptions and volatility
in the global financial markets, and has contributed to inflation, supply chain constraints, labor shortages and other adverse economic
effects. Most U.S. states and many countries have, at times, issued various policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the
disease.
Covid-19
and the U.S.’s response to the pandemic has caused economic volatility since the pandemic’s outbreak. There are no recent
comparable events that provide guidance as to the effect the Covid-19 pandemic may have, and, as a result, the ultimate effect of the
pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of the effects on the economy, the markets we
serve, our business, or our operations.
NOTE
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Going Concern
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with United
States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and have been prepared on a going concern
basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company
has incurred significant losses and experienced negative cash flows since inception. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had cash
of $86,061. In addition, the Company’s
net loss was $4,825,015
for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the Company’s had a working capital deficit of $3,546,037. As of September 30, 2022, the accumulated deficit amounted to $38,693,533.
As a result of the Company’s history of losses and financial condition, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the
Company to continue as a going concern.
The
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining
the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.
Management is evaluating different strategies to obtain financing to fund the Company’s expenses and achieve a level of revenue
adequate to support the Company’s current cost structure. Financing strategies may include, but are not limited to, private placements
of capital stock, debt borrowings, partnerships and/or collaborations. There can be no assurance that any of these future-funding efforts
will be successful. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification
of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Management’s
Representation of Interim Financial Statements
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or
omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations, and management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented
not misleading. These consolidated financial statements include all of the adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary
to a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim
results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021.
The
Company prepares its consolidated financial statements based upon the accrual method of accounting, recognizing income when earned and
expenses when incurred.
Basis
of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are
not readily apparent from other sources. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include but are not limited to the
valuation allowances of deferred taxes, and share-based compensation expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition,
any change in these estimates or their related assumptions could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operating results.
Cash
and cash equivalents
The
Company defines its cash and cash equivalents to include only cash on hand and certain highly liquid investments with original maturities
of ninety days or less. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions, the balances of which may, at
times, exceed federally insured limits. Management believes that the risk of loss due to the concentration is minimal.
Investments
in cryptocurrency
Investments
were comprised of several cryptocurrencies the Company owned, of which a majority was Bitcoin, that were actively traded on exchanges.
During 2018, the Company sold most of its investments and during 2019 wrote-off the remainder of all those investments because there
was no method to obtain liquidity for those investments. The Company recorded this recovery as other income in its financial statements.
As previously disclosed, the Company has ceased operations of its former cryptocurrency investment segment, and the Company liquidates
newly issued/accessible assets from old investments as promptly as practicable for the sole purpose of winding down the Company’s
legacy cryptocurrency investment segment.
The
Company records its investments as indefinite-lived intangible assets at cost less impairment and are reported as long-term assets in
the consolidated balance sheets. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is 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. In testing for impairment, the Company has the
option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is
determined that it is not more likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If the Company
concludes otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss
establishes the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted. The primary exchanges and principal
markets the Company utilized for its trading were Kraken, Bittrex, Poloniex, and Bitstamp.
As
of September 30, 2022, the Company had written off the value of its investments in cryptocurrency.
Investments
non-cryptocurrency
The
Company previously invested in simple agreement for future tokens (“SAFT”) and a simple agreement for future equity (“SAFE”)
agreements. The SAFT agreements provide for the issuance of tokens in anticipation of a future token generation event, with the number
of tokens predetermined based on the price established in each respective agreement. The SAFE investment included provisions that provide
for either equity or tokens or both. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021 the Company had written-off its investments in non-cryptocurrency.
Business
combination
The
purchase price of an acquired company is allocated between tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquired
business based on their estimated fair values with the residual of the purchase price recorded as goodwill. The results of operations
of acquired businesses are included in our operating results from the dates of acquisition.
Income
taxes
Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for expected future consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements
or tax returns. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences
between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws.
A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
The provision for income taxes represents the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and
liabilities.
When
tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities,
while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately
sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available
evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution
of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that
meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely
of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken
that exceed the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits along with any associated
interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.
As
of September 30, 2022, we are subject to federal taxation in the U.S., as well as state taxes. The Company has not been audited by the
U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
Fair
value measurements
The
Company recognizes and discloses the fair value of its assets and liabilities using a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation
techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable
inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). Each level of input has different levels of subjectivity and the
difficulty involved in determining fair value.
Level
1 | | Inputs
are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the
measurable date. |
Level
2 | | Inputs,
other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability
through corroboration with market data at the measurement date. |
Level
3 | | Unobservable
inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what participants would use in pricing
the asset or liability at the measurement date. |
The
carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate
fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Revenue
recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle of the new
revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount
that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five
steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
| ● | Step
1: Identify the contract with the customer |
| ● | Step
2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract |
| ● | Step
3: Determine the transaction price |
| ● | Step
4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract |
| ● | Step
5: Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation |
In
order to identify the performance obligations in a contract with a customer, a company must assess the promised goods or services in
the contract and identify each promised good or service that is distinct. A performance obligation meets ASC 606’s definition of
a “distinct” good or service (or bundle of goods or services) if both of the following criteria are met: The customer can
benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer (i.e.,
the good or service is capable of being distinct), and the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is
separately identifiable from other promises in the contract (i.e., the promise to transfer the good or service is distinct within the
context of the contract).
If
a good or service is not distinct, the good or service is combined with other promised goods or services until a bundle of goods or services
is identified that is distinct.
The
transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods
or services to a customer. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both.
When determining the transaction price, an entity must consider the effects of all of the following:
Variable
consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of
cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. The transaction price
allocated to each performance obligation is recognized when that performance obligation is satisfied, at a point in time or over time
as appropriate.
The
Company adopted ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition method for contracts as of the date of initial
application. There was no cumulative impact on the Company’s retained earnings.
During
the period ended September 30, 2022, the Company’s main source of revenue was consulting and education services to numerous customers
provided by and through BTA. The Company has determined that revenue should be recognized over time, as the service is provided. The
Company considered the criteria in ASC 606 in reaching this determination, specifically:
| ● | The
customer receives and consumes the benefit provided by the Company’s performance as
the Company performs. |
| ● | The
Company’s performance enhances an asset controlled by the customer. |
| ● | The
Company’s performance does not create an asset with alternative use, and the Company
has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. |
The
consulting arrangement meets more than one of the criteria above.
Revenues from Mining at Hosted Locations
The Company has their mining equipment
a hosting facility managed by a third party (“Host”). The equipment generating the hosting revenue is owned by the Company.
Through the period ended September 30, 2022 the Host accepted the mining proceeds daily from a mining pool into a cold wallet address
in the Host’s name. The Host sends the Company its portion daily, as the Host receives such proceeds. Hosting revenues consist of
amounts received in U.S. dollars for a percentage of cryptocurrency generated by the Host.
Share-based
compensation
In
accordance with ASC No. 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, the Company measures the compensation costs of share-based compensation
arrangements based on the grant date fair value of granted instruments and recognizes the costs in financial statements over the period
during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options.
On
January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies
the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with
certain exceptions. Previously, share-based payments to nonemployees was accounted for in accordance with ASC No. 505, Equity-Based Payments
to Non-Employees, which required compensation cost to be remeasured at fair value at each reporting period when the award vests. As a
result, stock option-based payments to non- employees resulted in significant volatility in compensation expense in prior years.
The
Company accounts for its share-based compensation using the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards. Using
this model, fair value is calculated based on assumptions with respect to the (i) expected volatility of the Company’s common stock
price, (ii) expected life of the award, which for options is the time over which employees and non-employees are expected to hold their
options prior to exercise, and (iii) risk-free interest rate.
Net
loss per common share
The
Company reports earnings per share (“EPS”) with a dual presentation of basic EPS and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed as
net income divided by the weighted average of common shares for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur
from common shares issued through stock options, or warrants. For the nine and three-month period ended September 30, 2022, and 2021,
the Company had no potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Therefore, the basic EPS and diluted EPS are the same.
NOTE
3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The
Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not
believe that there are any other new pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position
or results of operations.
NOTE
4 -GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The
Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) effective as of March 24, 2021 with BTA and its stockholders.
On April 8, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding stock of BTA and BTA became a wholly owned

As
a result of the foregoing the Company initially recorded goodwill of $1,349,457. The Company conducted a valuation study on the acquisition
of BTA. The final valuation report determined the amount goodwill to be $740,469 and the remaining $650,000 of the goodwill relates to
amortizable intangibles amortized over a fifteen-year period, or approximately $54,166 per year.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2022 the Company recorded $32,499 in amortization expense.

| ● | On
July 8, 2022, The Company borrowed funds pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Diagonal SPA”) entered into
with 1800 Diagonal Lending, LLC (“Diagonal”), and Diagonal purchased a convertible promissory note (the “July
Note”) from the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $79,250.
Pursuant to the Diagonal SPA, the Company agreed to reimburse Diagonal for certain fees in connection with entry into the diagonal
SPA and the issuance of the Note. |
The
maturity date of the Note is July
5, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”). The
July Note bears interest at a rate of 10%
per annum, and a default interest of 22% per annum. Diagonal has the option to convert all of the outstanding amounts due
under the July Note into shares of the Company’s common stock beginning on the date which is 180 days following the date of
the Note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the default amount, as such term is
defined under the July Note. The conversion price under the July Note for each share of common stock is equal to 65%
of the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock for the 10
trading days prior to the conversion date. The
conversion of the July Note is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. Failure of the Company to convert the July Note and deliver
the common stock when due will result in the Company paying Diagonal a monetary penalty for each day beyond such
deadline.

| ● | On
July 27, 2022, The Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Coventry
Enterprises, LLC (“Coventry”), pursuant to which Coventry purchased a 10%
unsecured promissory Note (the “Coventry Note”) from the Company in the principal amount of $200,000,
of which $40,000
was retained by Coventry through an “Original Issue Discount” for due diligence and origination related to the
transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company also agreed to issue 25,000
shares of restricted common stock to Coventry as additional consideration for the purchase of the Coventry Note. In addition, in the
Purchase Agreement the Company granted Coventry a right of first refusal with respect to certain types of equity financing
transactions the Company may pursue or effect. |
The
Coventry Note bears interest at a rate of 10%
per annum, with guaranteed interest (the “Guaranteed Interest”) of $20,000
being deemed earned as of date of issuance of the Coventry Note. The Coventry Note matures on July
15, 2023. The principal amount and the Guaranteed Interest is due and payable in seven equal monthly payments of $31,428.57,
beginning on December 15, 2022 and continuing on the third day of each month thereafter until paid in full.
Any
or all of the principal amount and the Guaranteed Interest may be prepaid at any time and from time to time, in each case without penalty
or premium.
If
an Event of Default (as defined in the Coventry Note) occurs, consistent with the terms of the Coventry Note, the Coventry Note will
become convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock at Coventry’s option, subject to a
4.99% beneficial ownership limitation (which may be increased up to 9.99% by Coventry). The per share conversion price is 90% of the
lowest volume-weighted average trading price during the 20-trading day period before conversion.
In
addition to certain other remedies, if an Event of Default occurs, consistent with the terms of the Coventry Note, the Coventry Note
will bear interest on the aggregate unpaid principal amount and Guaranteed Interest at the rate of the lesser of 18%
per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law.

Effective
September 30, 2022, The Company borrowed funds pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Sept. SPA”) entered
into with Diagonal, and Diagonal purchased a convertible promissory note (the “Sept. Note”) from the Company in the
aggregate principal amount of $108,936 (giving effect to an original issue discount). A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the
Sept. Note were used by the parties to satisfy all remaining amounts due under a convertible promissory note dated January 11, 2022,
issued by the Company to Sixth Street Lending, LLC. After payment of fees, and after satisfaction of the January 11, 2022
convertible promissory note in favor of Sixth Street Lending, the net proceeds to the Company were $80,000. The Sept. Note has a
maturity date of September 26, 2023, and the Company has agreed to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Sept. Note at
the rate of twelve percent (12.0%) per annum from the date on which the Sept. Note was issued until the same becomes due and
payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. Payments are due monthly, beginning on November 15,
2022. The Company has the right to prepay the Sept. Note in accordance with the terms set forth in the Sept. Note. Following an
event of default, and subject to certain limitations, the outstanding amount of the Sept. Note may be converted into shares of
Company common stock. Amounts due under the Sept. Note would be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a
conversion price equal to 75% of the lowest trading price with a 10-day look back immediately preceding the date of conversion. In
no event may the lender effect a conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares of Company common stock beneficially
owned by the lender and its affiliates would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Company common stock. In addition, upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default the Sept. Note will become immediately due and payable and the Company
shall pay to the lender, in full satisfaction of its obligations thereunder, additional amounts as set forth in the Sept.
Note. |

a price per share equal to the fair market value of the common stock at the time of such conversion. The Company can prepay the principal
and interest, in cash, at any time without any premium or penalty. The June 2020 Notes have no voting rights, do not participate in dividends,

2020 Notes at a price per share equal to the fair market value of the common stock at the time of such conversion. The Company can prepay
the principal and interest, in cash, at any time without any premium or penalty. The April 2020 Notes have no voting rights, do not participate
