Business Highlights and Developments

BNI - Bitcoin Mining

BitNile’s Bitcoin mining is currently operating at an estimated annualized run rate of 715 Bitcoin based on current market conditions, including a mining difficulty of 28.35 trillion.

BNI has increased its miner count to 11,949 S19j Pro Antminers and 312 S19 XP Antminers in its possession, including those units in the hands of its carrier in route to its facilities, and once installed will generate a combined processing power of approximately 1.24 exahashes per second, the computational power that is being used to mine Bitcoin. During the month of July 2022, BNI self-mined 59.9 Bitcoin. To date, BNI has mined a total of approximately 360 Bitcoin. As of August 22, 2022, BNI held approximately 240 Bitcoin and currently has no plans to sell.

On August 15, 2022, BNI entered into a hosting agreement with Compute North, LLC (“Compute North”) to host 6,500 S19j Pro Antminers owned by BNI for a period of five years. BNI granted Compute North a continuing first-position security interest in the hosted miners, as collateral for its obligations under the hosting agreement.

As previously disclosed, BitNile has entered into purchase agreements with Bitmain Technologies Limited for a total of 20,600 Bitcoin miners, including 4,600 environmentally friendly S19 XP Antminers that feature a processing power of 140 terahashes per second (“TH/s”) and 16,000 S19j Pro Antminers that feature a processing power of 100 TH/s.

BitNile expects to receive all of the 20,600 miners by the end of 2022. Once fully deployed and operational, BitNile is expected to achieve mining production capacity of approximately 2.24 exahashes per second.

The Company notes that all estimates and other projections are subject to the actual delivery and installation of Bitcoin miners, the volatility in Bitcoin market price, the fluctuation in the mining difficulty level, and other factors that may impact the results of production or operations.

Acquisition of The Singing Machine Company, Inc. (“SMC”)

Beginning in June 2022, the Company, through its subsidiary Digital Power Lending, LLC (“DP Lending”), began making open market purchases of SMC common stock. These purchases granted the Company a greater than 20% effective ownership on June 9, 2022, and subsequently, on June 15, 2022, the Company owned more than 50% of the issued and outstanding common stock of SMC. The Company’s ownership of SMC stood at 51.6% as of June 30, 2022.

SMC is primarily engaged in the development, marketing, and sale of consumer karaoke audio equipment, accessories and musical recordings. SMC is the leading global karaoke and music entertainment company that specializes in the design and production of quality karaoke and music enabled consumer products for adults and children. SMC’s products are among the most widely available karaoke products in the world.

The Company consolidates the results of SMC on a one-quarter lag as it enables the Company to report its quarterly results independent from the timing of when SMC reports its results, therefore the Company’s statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 do not include results for SMC.

GWW and Giga-tronics Incorporated (OTC Pink: GIGA) (“GIGA”) Transaction

GWW’s proposed transaction with GIGA continues to move forward and GIGA recently filed a definitive proxy statement relating to the proposed share exchange. GWW and GIGA expect to close this acquisition, subject to fulfillment of all closing conditions, including GIGA shareholder approval, after the September 7, 2022 special meeting of GIGA shareholders. This is a significant transaction, expected to generate synergies that will enhance the positioning of the GWW defense business. The combination will add scale, production capacity, engineering expertise and global reach. The combined entity will have over 500 customers with over 40 Tier-1 prime contractors and access to more than 20 global defense ministry programs. Finally, as a combined public entity, GIGA and GWW will have the scale to pursue an uplisting to Nasdaq.

TurnOnGreen Securities Purchase Agreement with Imperalis Holding Corp. (OTC Pink: IMHC) (“Imperalis”)

On March 21, 2022, BitNile announced that it and TurnOnGreen entered into a securities purchase agreement with Imperalis, a publicly traded subsidiary of BitNile, whereby TurnOnGreen will, upon closing, become a subsidiary of Imperalis (the “Acquisition”).

Upon completion of the Acquisition, which is contingent upon the completion of an audit of TurnOnGreen, and each party’s satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions set forth in the securities purchase agreement, Imperalis will change its name to TurnOnGreen and, through an upstream merger whereby the current TurnOnGreen shall cease to exist, have two operating subsidiaries, TOG Technologies Inc. and Digital Power Corporation. Following the closing of the Acquisition, Imperalis will dissolve its dormant subsidiary. Subsequent to the Acquisition, BitNile will assist TurnOnGreen in pursuing an uplisting to Nasdaq, subject to Nasdaq’s seasoning rules and other criteria for listing.

After completion of the Acquisition, the Company anticipates that stockholders of BitNile will receive a dividend of securities of TurnOnGreen. BitNile expects to distribute to BitNile stockholders approximately 140 million shares of Imperalis common shares and an equal number of warrants to purchase additional shares of Imperalis common stock.

The Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Kenneth S. Cragun, said, “Based on $50 million revenues reported in the first half of 2022, we enter the second half of the year on a $100 million annualized revenue run rate. In June 2022, we acquired SMC, a Nasdaq company that recently reported annual revenue for their year ended March 2022 of $47.5 million, with positive net income. We expect to see continued growth in our Bitcoin mining business as we begin the process of placing in service S19 XP Antminers at our Michigan Data Center and with the recently announced agreement with Compute North to host 6,500 of our new S19j Pro Antminers. Accordingly, we expect that our investment in SMC and our cryptocurrency mining operations will contribute to revenue growth above the current $100 million annualized revenue run rate and improved profitability in future periods.”

Milton “Todd” Ault, III, the Company’s Executive Chairman, stated, “We are encouraged by our recent progress on several key initiatives. We welcome The Singing Machine Company to the BitNile family of companies. We expect the GWW and GIGA share exchange to be completed in September, adding scale to what will soon be a publicly traded defense business. We also expect to bring TurnOnGreen public by combining two of our subsidiaries, TurnOnGreen and Imperalis. Our balance sheet remains strong, reporting $51 million in working capital and growing our assets by $77 million during the second quarter to $596 million in assets. We have experienced tremendous volatility in our financial results and expect to continue to experience volatility, particularly in revenues from lending and trading activities as we mark our investment positions to the market each quarter. We also experienced a significant decline in the price of Bitcoin which has affected our topline growth. We continue to remain bullish on Bitcoin and committed to building out our mining operations in Michigan and expanding our mining footprint with Compute North in Texas.”
