Neptune Digital Assets Announces the Release of Audited Financial Statements with a 1069% Increase in Total Revenues Over Prior Year

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – March 25, 2023 – Neptune Digital Assets Corp. (TSX-V:NDA) (OTC:NPPTF) (FSE:1NW) (“Neptune” or the “Company“), one of the first publicly traded blockchain companies in Canada, is pleased to announce that it has released its August 31, 2022 annual audited consolidated financial statements and management, discussion and analysis.

Below are a number of financial highlights pertaining to the August 31, 2022 year-end and for the period subsequent to year-end and up to the date of this news release.

  • Neptune ended the year on August 31, 2022 with $36.0 million in assets and no debt.
  • Neptune earned total revenues and other income of $7,405,529 through Bitcoin mining, staking, DeFi and other income-generating activities during the year.
  • Of the $18.9 million dollar net comprehensive loss for the year ended August 31, 2022, $16.3 million is related to a decrease in the fair values and impairments of underlying cryptocurrency assets and investments held and another $7.17 million related to a write-down in the value of mining rigs to fair market value.
  • Neptune mined $1,468,243 worth of Bitcoin up to August 31, 2022. As of the date of this release, Neptune had a total balance of 235 Bitcoin in cold storage and an additional 64 Bitcoin under chapter 11 claims with Genesis and Celsius, the outcome of those claims is currently unknown. Neptune currently does not sell its Bitcoin and all Bitcoin is now stored in cold storage.
  • Neptune’s two largest digital asset holdings as of the date of this release are 235 BTC and 174,000 ATOM. The Company also holds positions in ETH, FTM, wMemo, DASH, Lif3, Tomb and a number of other tokens, as well as an investment in SpaceX valued at approximately $2 million USD.
  • Neptune has also started to slowly increase its holdings of artificial intelligence (AI) cryptocurrency assets, namely Graph (GRT) and OCEAN tokens.
  • Current cash balance is $12 million held with a tier 1 Canadian bank and another $4 million USD under Chapter 11 claim with Genesis Lending with the outcome currently unknown

“In spite of much of 2022 being a devastating year for most companies in the Bitcoin mining and crypto currency space, Neptune managed to grow our income substantially over the prior year. Much of our loss on the income statement relates to unrealized losses and changes in fair value of the underlying assets,  fortunately when times are good those values will rise again” stated Cale Moodie, Neptune CEO. “We were very disappointed by the late filing of the financial statements, however industry changes and late-stage adjustments made the delays unavoidable. We hope to avoid this in the future and appreciate our shareholders patience through the last few months of financial reporting struggles. We are optimistic about 2023 and our focus in this volatile market will be to continue to grow cryptocurrency revenues and enhance our balance sheet. Even though the past year has been difficult for cryptocurrency, in addition to most asset classes and the overall global economy, we are more optimistic than ever of the long-term value of the cryptocurrency industry and Neptune.”

HIVE Blockchain Announces Late Filing of Interim Financial Statements

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 15, 2023 — HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (TSXV:HIVE) (Nasdaq: HIVE) (FSE: HBFA) (the “Company” or “HIVE”) announces that as a result of an unforeseen tax notice received this morning in relation to one of our European subsidiaries, the Company will be unable to file its interim financial statements and accompanying management’s discussion and analysis for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 (collectively, the “Interim Filings”) by February 14, 2023, being the date that such filings are due under applicable Canadian securities law requirements. The late filing is the result of providing the Company adequate time to assess the potential impact, if any, of this notice on the Interim Filings. HIVE anticipates filing the Interim Filings on or before February 28, 2023.

Maintaining operations in so many different jurisdictions allows us to diversify our holdings, and access low-cost green power in stable areas. However, it also brings reporting complications, as each country is subject to its own unique filing and reporting requirements and procedures. Notably, HIVE has numerous subsidiaries in each country where it has operations, and the Company requires local accounting firms and advisors, to provide an independent review while complying with local policies. To address these, HIVE continues to seek opportunities to streamline its financial processes to facilitate faster reviewing, auditing, and reporting.

In response to the reporting delay, the Company has applied to the British Columbia Securities Commission for a management cease trade order (the “MCTO”), restricting the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer from trading the Company’s shares until the Interim Filings are filed and the MCTO is revoked. The Company currently expects to file the Interim Filings on or before February 21, 2023 and will issue a press release announcing completion of these filings at such time. Until the Company files the Interim Filings, it will comply with the alternative information guidelines set out in National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Order. The guidelines, among other things, require the Company to issue biweekly default status reports by way of a news release for as long as the Interim Filings have not been filed. If the MCTO is granted, the general investing public will continue to be able to trade in the Company’s shares through the duration of the MCTO.

We will keep investors updated as we move through this process.

About HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd.

HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. went public in 2017 as the first cryptocurrency mining company with a green energy and ESG strategy.

HIVE is a growth-oriented technology stock in the emergent blockchain industry. As a company whose shares trade on a major stock exchange, we are building a bridge between the digital currency and blockchain sector and traditional capital markets. HIVE owns state-of-the-art, green energy-powered data centre facilities in Canada, Sweden, and Iceland, where we endeavour to source green energy to mine digital assets such as Bitcoin on the cloud. Since the beginning of 2021, HIVE has held in secure storage the majority of its treasury of ETH and BTC derived from mining rewards. Our shares provide investors with exposure to the operating margins of digital currency mining, as well as a portfolio of Bitcoin. Because HIVE also owns hard assets such as data centers and advanced multi-use servers, we believe our shares offer investors an attractive way to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency space.
