 FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Filing Statement contains forward-looking information. Often, but not always, forward-looking
information can be identified by the use of words such as plans, expects, does not expect, is
expected, estimates, intends, anticipates, does not anticipate, or believes, or variations of such
words and phrases or states that certain actions, events or results may, could, would, might or
will be taken to occur or be achieved.

Forward-looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which
may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company or the Resulting Issuer to be
materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the
forward-looking information. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that
could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking
statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated,
estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be
accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such
statements.

Known and unknown factors could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those projected
in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, completion of the
Transactions and Exchange approval; fluctuations in the currency markets; changes in interest rates;
disruption to the credit markets and delays in obtaining financing; inflationary pressures; changes in
national and local government legislation, taxation, controls, regulations and political or economic
developments in Iceland and Canada, or other countries in which the Resulting Issuer may, upon
completion of the Transactions carry on business; business opportunities that may be presented to, or
pursued by the Resulting Issuer upon completion of the Transactions; operating or technical difficulties in
connection with business activities; the possibility of cost overruns or unanticipated expenses; employee
relations; the risks of obtaining and renewing necessary licenses and permits; and the occurrence of
natural disasters, hostilities, acts of war or terrorism; the Resulting Issuer will require additional funds in
order to acquire Additional Data Centres, as well as for general working capital and will be reliant on the
sale of equity or liquidation of mined output (coins) for such funds; there can be no assurance the
Resulting Issuer will be able to obtain such funds and as a result, the Resulting Issuer may not be able to
advance its business plan or make further acquisitions or continue operations; there is no assurance the
Resulting Issuer will be able to obtain insurance for its operations; the Resulting Issuers directors and
officers serve on the boards and as officers of other companies whose interests may conflict with the
Resulting Issuer; there may not be an active or liquid market for the Resulting Issuer Shares after
completion of the Transactions; the Resulting Issuer may never pay any dividends; the Resulting Issuers
cryptocurrency inventory may lose or may be severely reduced in value as a result of flaws in the
cryptocurrency code or malicious actors; regulatory changes or actions may alter or prohibit investment in
the Resulting Issuers cryptocurrency business and may result in a restriction in the use of
cryptocurrencies; the current value of cryptocurrencies and the value of the Resulting Issuers future
holdings of cryptocurrencies may be overvalued and volatile as a result of momentum pricing; there may
be fraud or security failures of the cryptocurrency exchanges on which the Resulting Issuers
cryptocurrencies are exchanged resulting in closures of the cryptocurrency exchanges or complete losses
of the Resulting Issuers cryptocurrency balance; banks may refuse to provide cryptocurrency-related
services resulting in a decrease in the usefulness of cryptocurrency and reduction in the value of the
Resulting Issuers cryptocurrency inventory; the algorithm for cryptocurrencies may change resulting in
the Resulting Issuer losing its competitive advantage; the Resulting Issuers operations, investment
strategies and profitability may be adversely affected by competition from other cryptocurrencies or
financial vehicles; the Resulting Issuer may be subject to incorrect or fraudulent transactions resulting in
 ii

its coins being lost or irretrievable; the number of coins awarded for solving a block in the blockchain
may be decreased resulting in the value of a cryptocurrency mined by or held in the inventory of the
Resulting Issuer to decrease and may be decreased to a level where there is not an adequate incentive for
the Resulting Issuer to continue mining; the sale of coins by other vehicles investing in coins or tracking
cryptocurrency markets may negatively affect cryptocurrency prices and reduce the value of the Resulting
Issuers inventory; Genesis may fail to properly manage the HIVE Facility; and the introduction of new
services and technologies may make the Resulting Issuers hardware and equipment at the HIVE Facility
obsolete and it may be cost-prohibitive to upgrade the Resulting Issuers hardware and equipment at the
HIVE Facility to remain competitive. The factors identified above are not intended to represent a
complete list of the factors that could affect the Company or the Resulting Issuer. Additional factors are
noted under the heading Risk Factors.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the
forward-looking information prove incorrect, actual results, performance or achievement may vary
materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking information contained in this Filing
Statement. These factors should be carefully considered and readers are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on forward-looking information, which speaks only as of the date of this Filing Statement. All
subsequent forward-looking information attributable to the Company or the Resulting Issuer herein is
expressly qualified in its entirety by the cautionary statements contained in or referred to herein. The
Company and the Resulting Issuer do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to

Resulting Issuer (assuming completion of the Change of Business) and should be read together with the
more detailed information and financial data and statements contained elsewhere in this Filing
Statement. Reference is made to the Glossary of Terms for the definitions of certain abbreviations and
terms used in this Filing Statement and in this summary.

This Filing Statement is being prepared in accordance with Exchange Form 3D2 in connection with the
Change of Business.

Parties to the Transactions

The Company

Until recently, the Companys principal business was the exploration and development of mineral
properties. The Company was incorporated in the province of British Columbia on June 24, 1987. The
Company changed its name from Carmelita Petroleum Limited to Carmelita Resources Limited on
September 26, 1996, to Pierre Enterprises Ltd. on July 4, 2000, and to Leeta Gold Corp. on February 1,
2011. The Companys head office is located at Suite 3123, 595 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC, V7X 1J1,
and the Companys registered office is located at Suite 2500, 700 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC,
V7Y 1B3.

The Company is listed on the NEX, under the symbol LTA.H. On June 5, 2017, the Companys
common shares were halted from trading on the NEX in anticipation of the announcement via news
release of the Letter of Intent on June 14, 2017. The last closing price of the Companys common shares
on the NEX prior to the trading halt was $0.29. Subject to the approval of the Exchange, and the
Resulting Issuer meeting all of the conditions set forth in the approval of the Exchange, it is anticipated
that the common shares of the Resulting Issuer will resume trading on the Exchange under the symbol
HIVE following Closing.

In connection with the Change of Business, the Company executed the Letter of Intent with Genesis on
June 8, 2017.

See Part I Information Concerning the Company for more detail.

Genesis

Genesis is a private corporation founded in 2013. Genesis operates as a cryptocurrency cloud mining
service that allows users to purchase hashpower without having to deal with hardware and software setup.
Genesis offers hosted cryptocurrency mining services and a variety of mining-related solutions to small
and large scale investors. See Part II Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer About Genesis
for more detail.

Summary of the Change of Business Transactions

The Company is undertaking the Change of Business by acquiring the Iceland Data Centre Equipment at
the HIVE Facility from Genesis in order for the Company to commence cryptocurrency mining
operations, further to which the Company will engage Genesis to provide services related to facility,
hosting, maintaining and related ongoing services at the HIVE Facility under the Master Services
 2

Agreement. See Part II Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer Summary of the Change of
Business Transactions below for further detail.

The acquisition of the HIVE Facility is the Companys first step towards its goal of building a blockchain
company through the development and ownership of cryptocurrency infrastructure and other related
blockchain businesses.

Following completion of the Transactions, the Company intends on mining cryptocurrencies at the HIVE
Facility, with proceeds from mining operations deposited into a designated digital wallet of the Company,
which is a secure digital wallet used to store, send and receive digital currencies. The Company may
liquidate for time to time a portion of mined coins in a ratio derived from future forecasted expenses
while holding the remainder as inventory to benefit from price appreciation/volatility. See Part II
Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer Stated Business Objectives below for further detail.

Also following Closing, the Company and Genesis will implement the Future Acquisition Framework,
and specifically target the acquisition of Additional Data Centres in Iceland and Sweden, which will entail
additional equity financings by the Company in connection with such acquisitions. See Part II
Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer Summary of Change of Business Transactions below for
further detail.

Genesis will be paid an aggregate sum of US$9 million and will be issued the Transaction Shares as
consideration for the Transactions. Genesis will also earn a monthly fee pursuant to the Master Services
Agreement. See Part II Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer Summary of Change of
Business Transactions and Part II Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer Master Services
Agreement below for further detail.

Equity Financing

In connection with the Change of Business and in order to fund the Transactions, the Company completed
the Equity Financing in two tranches on August 9, 2017 and on September 7, 2017. The Equity Financing
is a non-brokered private placement of Subscription Receipts at a price of $0.30 per Subscription Receipt.
A total of 55,000,000 Subscription Receipts were issued pursuant to the Equity Financing for aggregate
gross proceeds of $16,500,000, which proceeds have been deposited with the Equity Financing Escrow
Agent. Each Subscription Receipt will be automatically exchanged for one common share of the
Company, and the proceeds of the Equity Financing will be released to the Company upon satisfaction of
the Escrow Release Conditions. See Part I Information Concerning the Company Equity Financing
for more detail.

On Closing, the Company will pay finders fees of $414,590 in connection with the Equity Financing.

See Part II Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer Available Funds and Principal Purposes.

Transaction Agreement

On September 13, 2017, the Company and Genesis entered into the Transaction Agreement for the
purpose of effecting the Transactions, pursuant to which the Company will:

execute and deliver the Master Data Centre Equipment Purchase Agreement, and pursuant to
Iceland Data Centre Equipment Purchase Order #1 under the Master Data Centre Equipment
Purchase Agreement, acquire the Iceland Data Centre Equipment at the HIVE Facility;

Service Order #1 under the Master Services Agreement, engage Genesis to provide facility,
hosting, maintenance and related services at the HIVE Facility;

enter into the Investor Rights Agreement with Genesis; and

agree upon the Future Acquisition Framework.

Upon Closing, Genesis will be paid US$9 million and issued the Transaction Shares as consideration for
the Transactions, and the funds held in escrow from the Equity Financing will be released to the Company
upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions and each Subscription Receipt will be automatically
converted (for no further consideration and with no further action on the part of the holder thereof) into
one fully paid and non-assessable Resulting Issuer Share.

The completion of the Transactions is subject to a number of conditions including the receipt of the
approval of the Exchange and other conditions typical for a transaction of this nature.

See Part II Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer Transaction Agreement for further detail.

Equipment Purchase Agreement, which sets out the standard terms and conditions pursuant to which the
Company or a Company subsidiary may purchase, and Genesis Iceland will supply, hardware and

Delivery of the Equipment is deemed to occur upon acceptance or deemed acceptance by Company or its
subsidiary of the installed Equipment. Standard Equipment warranties are provided.

of Company-owned or Company subsidiary-owned data centres. Services are ordered through the
issuance of agreed service orders. The agreement anticipates the payment of monthly service fees for
standard services, which include: set up; internet access and network connectivity; security; regulation of
facility environment; power; cleaning; systems operation; and equipment and systems maintenance and
 4

Genesis executed the Iceland Data Centre Service Order #1 whereby Genesis will provide standard

expiry of the then-current term. As consideration for the services, Genesis will receive a monthly fee of
US$144,650.

See Part II Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer Iceland Data Centre Service Order #1 for
further detail.

Investor Rights Agreement

Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Company has granted Genesis certain rights to participate
in future equity financings of the Company to allow Genesis the option to maintain its percentage
ownership of the Company. For a period of two years, Genesis will have the right to nominate two
members to the Companys Board of Directors, and following this period Genesis will maintain such
right provided that Genesis, and its Affiliates, maintain ownership of at least 15% of the issued and

 5

Available Funds and Principal Purposes

The Resulting Issuer is expected to have approximately CDN$3,665,000 in working capital available on
Closing. The Resulting Issuer is expected to use the funds available to it in furtherance of its stated
business objectives which are summarized in the table appearing below.

Estimated Amount

Sources of Funds:

Estimated working capital of the Company as at August 31, 2017 ($55,000)

Gross Proceeds from the Equity Financing $16,500,000

Estimated Revenues for the 12 month period following Closing NIL 1

Total Sources $16,445,000

Uses of Funds:

Estimated costs of the Transactions $1,504,000

To be paid to Genesis on Closing $11,276,0002

Estimated payments to Genesis under the Master Services Agreement for $2,175,000 3
the 12 month period following Closing

General and administrative expenses for the first 12 months $1,242,000

Unallocated working capital to fund ongoing operations $248,000

Total Uses $16,445,000

Notes:
(1) Based on computational capacity of the HIVE Facility, the historical Ether prices and observed Ether hash rates over
the period from June 2016 to June 2017, and assuming immediate sale of the Ether coins once mined, the net cash
contribution margin of the proceeds less monthly maintenance fee over this historical period would have been US$7
million.; the Company therefore believes future operations to be cash flow positive, however has presented $nil
revenues for the purposes of this table.
(2) Represents US$9,000,000 based on the indicative exchange rate on August 24, 2017 as reported by the Bank of
Canada for the conversion of U.S. dollars into Canadian dollars, being CDN$1.2529 equals US$1.00.
(3) Represents US$1,735,800 based on the indicative exchange rate on August 24, 2017 as reported by the Bank of
Canada for the conversion of U.S. dollars into Canadian dollars, being CDN$1.2529 equals US$1.00.

Based on current projections, the Resulting Issuers working capital available for funding ongoing
operations is expected to meet its expenses for a minimum period of 12 months commencing immediately
after the completion of the Transactions, assuming successful mining and sales of coins.

For additional information, see Part II - Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer Available Funds
and Principal Purposes.
 6

Notwithstanding the proposed uses of available funds discussed above, there may be circumstances
where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be necessary. It is difficult, at this time, to
definitively project the total funds necessary to effect the planned activities of the Resulting Issuer. For
these reasons, management of the Resulting Issuer considers it to be in the best interests of the Resulting
Issuer and its shareholders to afford management a reasonable degree of flexibility as to how the funds
are employed among the uses identified above, or for other purposes, as the need arises. Further, the
above uses of available funds should be considered estimates. See Forward-Looking Information.

Summary of Risk Factors Associated with the Change of Business

AN INVESTMENT IN SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY AND THE RESULTING ISSUER,

FOLLOWING THE COMPLETION OF THE TRANSACTIONS IS HIGHLY SPECULATIVE AND
INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK AND SHOULD ONLY BE MADE BY INVESTORS WHO
CAN AFFORD TO LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.

Company shareholders should consider that the Company may not realize the anticipated benefits of the
Transactions. Other risk factors include risks associated with completion of the Transactions and
Exchange approval; fluctuations in the currency markets; changes in interest rates; disruption to the credit
markets and delays in obtaining financing; inflationary pressures; changes in national and local
government legislation, taxation, controls, regulations and political or economic developments in Iceland
and Canada, or other countries in which the Resulting Issuer may, upon completion of the Transactions
carry on business; business opportunities that may be presented to, or pursued by the Resulting Issuer
upon completion of the Transactions; operating or technical difficulties in connection with business
activities; the possibility of cost overruns or unanticipated expenses; employee relations; the risks of
obtaining and renewing necessary licenses and permits; and the occurrence of natural disasters, hostilities,
acts of war or terrorism; the Resulting Issuer will require additional funds in order to acquire Additional
Data Centres, as well as for general working capital and will be reliant on the sale of equity or liquidation
of mined output (coins) for such funds; there can be no assurance the Resulting Issuer will be able to
obtain such funds and as a result, the Resulting Issuer may not be able to advance its business plan or
make further acquisitions or continue operations; there is no assurance the Resulting Issuer will be able to
obtain insurance for its operations; the Resulting Issuers directors and officers serve on the boards and as
officers of other companies whose interests may conflict with the Resulting Issuer; there may not be an
active or liquid market for the Resulting Issuer Shares after completion of the Transactions; the Resulting
Issuer may never pay any dividends; the Resulting Issuers cryptocurrency inventory may lose or may be
severely reduced in value as a result of flaws in the cryptocurrency code or malicious actors; regulatory
changes or actions may alter or prohibit investment in the Resulting Issuers cryptocurrency business and
 8

may result in a restriction in the use of cryptocurrencies; the current value of cryptocurrencies and the
value of the Resulting Issuers future holdings of cryptocurrencies may be overvalued and volatile as a
result of momentum pricing; there may be fraud or security failures of the cryptocurrency exchanges on
which the Resulting Issuers cryptocurrencies are exchanged resulting in closures of the cryptocurrency
exchanges or complete losses of the Resulting Issuers cryptocurrency balance; banks may refuse to
provide cryptocurrency-related services resulting in a decrease in the usefulness of cryptocurrency and
reduction in the value of the Resulting Issuers cryptocurrency inventory; the algorithm for
cryptocurrencies may change resulting in the Resulting Issuer losing its competitive advantage; the
Resulting Issuers operations, investment strategies and profitability may be adversely affected by
competition from other cryptocurrencies or financial vehicles; the Resulting Issuer may be subject to
incorrect or fraudulent transactions resulting in its coins being lost or irretrievable; the number of coins
awarded for solving a block in the blockchain may be decreased resulting in the value of a cryptocurrency
mined by or held in the inventory of the Resulting Issuer to decrease and may be decreased to a level
where there is not an adequate incentive for the Resulting Issuer to continue mining; the sale of coins by
other vehicles investing in coins or tracking cryptocurrency markets may negatively affect cryptocurrency
prices and reduce the value of the Resulting Issuers inventory; Genesis may fail to properly manage the
HIVE Facility; and the introduction of new services and technologies may make the Resulting Issuers
hardware and equipment at the HIVE Facility obsolete and it may be cost-prohibitive to upgrade the
Resulting Issuers hardware and equipment at the HIVE Facility to remain competitive. This Filing
Statement contains forward looking statements which reflect the current expectations of management of
the Resulting Issuer regarding the Resulting Issuers future growth, results of operations, performance and
business prospects and opportunities.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information contained in this Filing Statement, investors should give careful
consideration to the following, factors, which are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and must be
read in conjunction with, the detailed information appearing elsewhere in this Filing Statement. If any of
the following events described as risks or uncertainties actually occurs, the business, prospects, financial
condition and operating results of the Company and the Resulting Issuer would likely suffer, possibly
materially. In that event, the market price of the Resulting Issuer Shares could decline and investors
could lose all or part of their investment. Additional risks and uncertainties presently unknown, or that
are not believed to be material at this time, may also impair or have a material adverse effect on the
Company and the Resulting Issuers operations. In addition to the risks described elsewhere and the
other information contained in this Filing Statement, prospective investors should carefully consider each
of and the cumulative effect of all of the following risk factors. There is no assurance that risk
management steps taken will avoid future loss due to the occurrence of the risks described below or other
unforeseen risks.

Transaction and General Risk Factors

Completion of the Transactions and Exchange Approval

The completion of the Transactions is subject to several conditions precedent. There can be no
assurances that the Transactions will be completed on the terms set out in the Transaction Agreement, as
negotiated, or not at all. In the event that any of the conditions precedent are not satisfied or waived, the
Transactions may not be completed. In addition, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to
satisfy the requirements of the Exchange such that it will issue the Final Exchange Bulletin.

Additional Funding Requirements

Further acquisitions of Additional Data Centres will require additional capital, the ongoing operation of
the HIVE Facility will require monthly payments under the Master Services Agreement, and the
Company will require funds to operate as a public company. There is no assurance that the Resulting
Issuer will be successful in obtaining the required financing for these or other purposes, including for
general working capital.

Conflicts of Interest

Certain of the officers and directors of the Company are also directors, officers or shareholders of other
companies. Such associations may give rise to conflicts of interest from time to time. The directors of
the Resulting Issuer will be required by law to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best
interests of the Resulting Issuer and to disclose any interest which they may have in any project or
opportunity of the Resulting Issuer. If a conflict arises at a meeting of the Board, any director in a
conflict will disclose his interest and abstain from voting on such matter. In determining whether or not
the Resulting Issuer will participate in any project or opportunity, the director will primarily consider the
degree of risk to which the Resulting Issuer may be exposed and its financial position at that time.

Limited Market for Securities

Upon completion of the proposed Transactions, the Resulting Issuers share will be listed on the TSXV,
however, there can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the Resulting Issuer Shares will
develop or be maintained.
 10

Dividends

To date, the Company has not paid any dividends on its outstanding securities and the Resulting Issuer
does not expect to do so in the foreseeable future. Any decision to pay dividends on the Resulting Issuer
Shares will be made by the Board of Directors.

General Cryptocurrency Risks

The Companys cryptocurrency inventory may be exposed to cybersecurity threats and hacks.

As with any other computer code, flaws in the cryptocurrency codes have been exposed by certain
malicious actors. Several errors and defects have been found and corrected, including those that disabled
some functionality for users and exposed users information. Discovery of flaws in or exploitations of the
source code that allow malicious actors to take or create money have been relatively rare. A recent ETH
hacking example occurred in late July of 2017. An unknown hacker exploited a critical flaw in the Parity
multi-signature wallet on the ETH network and drained three large wallets that had a combined total of
over $31 million worth of ETH. If left undetected, the hacker could have been able to steal an additional
$150 million of ETH. Fortunately, the loss was limited to the $31 million of ETH as white-hat hackers
acted swiftly to protect the remaining accounts at risk.

Regulatory changes or actions may alter the nature of an investment in the Company or restrict the use of
cryptocurrencies in a manner that adversely affects the Companys operations.

As cryptocurrencies have grown in both popularity and market size, governments around the world have
reacted differently to cryptocurrencies with certain governments deeming them illegal while others have
allowed their use and trade. On-going and future regulatory actions may alter, perhaps to a materially
adverse extent, the ability of the Company to continue to operate.

The effect of any future regulatory change on the Company or any cryptocurrency that the Company may
mine is impossible to predict, but such change could be substantial and adverse to the Company.

Governments may in the future curtail or outlaw, the acquisition, use or redemption of cryptocurrencies.
Ownership of, holding or trading in cryptocurrencies may then be considered illegal and subject to
sanction. Governments may also take regulatory action that may increase the cost and/or subject
cryptocurrency companies to additional regulation. For example, on July 25, 2017 the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission released an investigative report which indicates that the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission would, in some circumstances, consider the offer and sale of
blockchain tokens pursuant to an initial coin offering subject to U.S. securities laws.

Governments may in the future take regulatory actions that prohibit or severely restrict the right to
acquire, own, hold, sell, use or trade cryptocurrencies or to exchange cryptocurrencies for fiat currency.
By extension, similar actions by other governments, may result in the restriction of the acquisition,
ownership, holding, selling, use or trading in the Resulting Issuer Shares. Such a restriction could result in
the Company liquidating its Ether inventory at unfavorable prices and may adversely affect the
Companys shareholders.

The value of cryptocurrencies may be subject to momentum pricing risk.

Momentum pricing typically is associated with growth stocks and other assets whose valuation, as
determined by the investing public, accounts for anticipated future appreciation in value. Cryptocurrency
market prices are determined primarily using data from various exchanges, over-the-counter markets, and
 11

derivative platforms. Momentum pricing may have resulted, and may continue to result, in speculation
regarding future appreciation in the value of cryptocurrencies, inflating and making their market prices
more volatile. As a result, they may be more likely to fluctuate in value due to changing investor
confidence in future appreciation (or depreciation) in their market prices, which could adversely affect the
value of the Companys Ether inventory and thereby affect the Companys shareholders.

Cryptocurrency exchanges and other trading venues are relatively new and, in most cases, largely
unregulated and may therefore be more exposed to fraud and failure

To the extent that cryptocurrency exchanges or other trading venues are involved in fraud or experience
security failures or other operational issues, this could result in a reduction in cryptocurrency prices.

Cryptocurrency market prices depend, directly or indirectly, on the prices set on exchanges and other
trading venues, which are new and, in most cases, largely unregulated as compared to established,
regulated exchanges for securities, derivatives and other currencies. For example, during the past three
years, a number of BTC Exchanges have been closed due to fraud, business failure or security breaches.
In many of these instances, the customers of the closed BTC Exchanges were not compensated or made
whole for the partial or complete losses of their account balances in such BTC Exchanges. While smaller
exchanges are less likely to have the infrastructure and capitalization that provide larger exchanges with
additional stability, larger exchanges may be more likely to be appealing targets for hackers and
malware (i.e., software used or programmed by attackers to disrupt computer operation, gather sensitive
information or gain access to private computer systems) and may be more likely to be targets of
regulatory enforcement action.

Banks may not provide banking services, or may cut off banking services, to businesses that provide
cryptocurrency-related services or that accept cryptocurrencies as payment.

A number of companies that provide BTC and/or other cryptocurrency-related services have been unable
to find banks that are willing to provide them with bank accounts and banking services. Similarly, a
number of such companies have had their existing bank accounts closed by their banks. Banks may refuse
to provide bank accounts and other banking services to BTC and/or other cryptocurrency-related
companies or companies that accept cryptocurrencies for a number of reasons, such as perceived
compliance risks or costs. The difficulty that many businesses that provide BTC and/or other
cryptocurrency-related services have and may continue to have in finding banks willing to provide them
with bank accounts and other banking services may be currently decreasing the usefulness of
cryptocurrencies as a payment system and harming public perception of cryptocurrencies or could
decrease its usefulness and harm its public perception in the future. Similarly, the usefulness of
cryptocurrencies as a payment system and the public perception of cryptocurrencies could be damaged if
banks were to close the accounts of many or of a few key businesses providing BTC and/or other
cryptocurrency-related services. This could decrease the market prices of cryptocurrencies and adversely
affect the value of the Companys Ether inventory.

The impact of geopolitical events on the supply and demand for cryptocurrencies is uncertain.

Crises may motivate large-scale purchases of cryptocurrencies which could increase the price of
cryptocurrencies rapidly. This may increase the likelihood of a subsequent price decrease as crisis-driven
purchasing behavior wanes, adversely affecting the value of the Companys Ether inventory.

The possibility of large-scale purchases of cryptocurrencies in times of crisis may have a short-term
positive impact on the prices of. For example, in March 2013, a report of uncertainty in the economy of
the Republic of Cyprus and the imposition of capital controls by Cypriot banks motivated individuals in
 12

Cyprus and other countries with similar economic situations to purchase BTCs. This resulted in a
significant short-term positive impact on the price of BTCs. However, as the purchasing activity of
individuals in this situation waned, speculative investors engaged in significant sales of BTCs, which
significantly decreased the price of BTCs. Crises of this nature in the future may erode investors
confidence in the stability of cryptocurrencies and may impair their price performance which would, in
turn, adversely affect the Companys investments.

As an alternative to fiat currencies that are backed by central governments, cryptocurrencies such as
Ether, which are relatively new, are subject to supply and demand forces based upon the desirability of an
alternative, decentralised means of buying and selling goods and services, and it is unclear how such
supply and demand will be impacted by geopolitical events. Nevertheless, political or economic crises
may motivate large-scale acquisitions or sales of BTCs either globally or locally. Large-scale sales of
cryptocurrencies would result in a reduction in their market prices and adversely affect the Companys
operations and profitability.

The further development and acceptance of the cryptographic and algorithmic protocols governing the
issuance of and transactions in cryptocurrencies is subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to
evaluate.

The use of cryptocurrencies to, among other things, buy and sell goods and services and complete other
transactions, is part of a new and rapidly evolving industry that employs digital assets based upon a
computer-generated mathematical and/or cryptographic protocol. The growth of this industry in general,
and the use of cryptocurrencies in particular, is subject to a high degree of uncertainty, and the slowing or
stopping of the development or acceptance of developing protocols may adversely affect the Companys
operations. The factors affecting the further development of the industry, include, but are not limited to:

Continued worldwide growth in the adoption and use of cryptocurrencies;

Governmental and quasi-governmental regulation of cryptocurrencies and their use, or

restrictions on or regulation of access to and operation of the network or similar cryptocurrency
systems;

Changes in consumer demographics and public tastes and preferences;

The maintenance and development of the open-source software protocol of the network;

The availability and popularity of other forms or methods of buying and selling goods and
services, including new means of using fiat currencies;

General economic conditions and the regulatory environment relating to digital assets; and

Negative consumer sentiment and perception of BTCs specifically and cryptocurrencies

generally.

Acceptance and/or widespread use of cryptocurrency is uncertain

Currently, there is relatively small use of BTCs and/or other cryptocurrencies in the retail and commercial
marketplace in comparison to relatively large use by speculators, thus contributing to price volatility that
could adversely affect the Companys operations, investment strategies, and profitability.
 13

As relatively new products and technologies, BTC, the Bitcoin Network, and its other cryptocurrency
counterparts have not been widely adopted as a means of payment for goods and services by major retail
and commercial outlets. Conversely, a significant portion of cryptocurrency demand is generated by
speculators and investors seeking to profit from the short-term or long-term holding of cryptocurrencies.
The relative lack of acceptance of cryptocurrencies in the retail and commercial marketplace limits the
ability of end-users to use them to pay for goods and services. A lack of expansion by cryptocurrencies
into retail and commercial markets, or a contraction of such use, may result in increased volatility or a
reduction in their market prices, either of which could adversely impact the Companys operations,
investment strategies, and profitability.

Possibility of the Ether algorithm transitioning to proof of stake validation

Proof of stake is an alternative method in validating cryptocurrency transactions. Should the Ether
algorithm shift from a proof of work validation method to a proof of stake method, mining ETH would
require less energy and may render the Company less competitive as other minders are able to mine ETH
with lower energy requirements. The HIVE Facility, which is located in a cool climate and low energy
cost environment may see its advantages decrease.

Company Cryptocurrency Risks

The Company may be required to sell its coins to pay Genesis for maintaining its HIVE Facility.

The Company may sell its coins to pay expenses covered under the Master Services Agreement and other
expenses incurred, irrespective of then-current coin prices. Consequently, the Companys coins may be
sold at a time when the price is low, resulting in a negative effect on the Companys profitability.

The Companys operations, investment strategies, and profitability may be adversely affected by
competition from other methods of investing in cryptocurrencies.

The Company competes with other users and/or companies that are mining cryptocurrencies and other
potential financial vehicles, possibly including securities backed by or linked to cryptocurrencies through
entities similar to the Company. Market and financial conditions, and other conditions beyond the
Companys control, may make it more attractive to invest in other financial vehicles, or to invest in
cryptocurrencies directly which could limit the market for the Companys shares and reduce their
liquidity.

The Companys coins may be subject to loss, theft or restriction on access.

There is a risk that some or all of the Companys coins could be lost or stolen. Access to the Companys
coins could also be restricted by cybercrime (such as a denial of service (DDoS) attack) against a
service at which the Company maintains a hosted online wallet. Any of these events may adversely affect
the operations of the Company and, consequently, its investments and profitability.

The loss or destruction of a private key required to access the Companys digital wallets may be
irreversible. The Companys loss of access to its private keys or its experience of a data loss relating to
the Companys digital wallets could adversely affect its investments.

Cryptocurrencies are controllable only by the possessor of both the unique public and private keys
relating to the local or online digital wallet in which they are held, which wallets public key or address is
reflected in the networks public Blockchain. The Company will publish the public key relating to digital
wallets in use when it verifies the receipt of Ether transfers and disseminates such information into the
 14

network, but it will need to safeguard the private keys relating to such digital wallets. To the extent such
private keys are lost, destroyed or otherwise compromised, the Company will be unable to access its coins
and such private keys will not be capable of being restored by network. Any loss of private keys relating
to digital wallets used to store the Companys Ether could adversely affect its investments and
profitability.

Incorrect or fraudulent coin transactions may be irreversible

Cryptocurrency transactions are irrevocable and stolen or incorrectly transferred coins may be
irretrievable. As a result, any incorrectly executed or fraudulent coin transactions could adversely affect
the Companys investments.

Coin transactions are not, from an administrative perspective, reversible without the consent and active
participation of the recipient of the transaction. In theory, cryptocurrency transactions may be reversible
with the control or consent of a majority of processing power on the network. Once a transaction has been
verified and recorded in a block that is added to the Blockchain, an incorrect transfer of a coin or a theft
of coin generally will not be reversible and the Company may not be capable of seeking compensation for
any such transfer or theft. Although the Companys transfers of coins will regularly be made by
experienced members of the management team, it is possible that, through computer or human error, or
through theft or criminal action, the Companys coins could be transferred in incorrect amounts or to
unauthorized third parties, or to uncontrolled accounts.

If the award of coins for solving blocks and transaction fees are not sufficiently high, miners may not
have an adequate incentive to continue mining and may cease their mining operations.

As the number of coins awarded for solving a block in the Blockchain decreases, the incentive for miners
to continue to contribute processing power to the network will transition from a set reward to transaction
fees. Either the requirement from miners of higher transaction fees in exchange for recording transactions
in the Blockchain or a software upgrade that automatically charges fees for all transactions may decrease
demand for the relevant coins and prevent the expansion of the network to retail merchants and
commercial businesses, resulting in a reduction in the price of the relevant cryptocurrency that could
adversely impact the Companys Ether inventory and investments.

In order to incentivize miners to continue to contribute processing power to the network, the network may
either formally or informally transition from a set reward to transaction fees earned upon solving for a
block. This transition could be accomplished either by miners independently electing to record on the
blocks they solve only those transactions that include payment of a transaction fee or by the network
adopting software upgrades that require the payment of a minimum transaction fee for all transactions. If
transaction fees paid for the recording of transactions in the Blockchain become too high, the marketplace
may be reluctant to accept network as a means of payment and existing users may be motivated to switch
between cryptocurrencies or back to fiat currency. Decreased use and demand for coins may adversely
affect their value and result in a reduction in the market price of coins.

If the award of coins for solving blocks and transaction fees for recording transactions are not sufficiently
high to incentivize miners, miners may cease expending processing power to solve blocks and
confirmations of transactions on the Blockchain could be slowed temporarily. A reduction in the
processing power expended by miners could increase the likelihood of a malicious actor or botnet
obtaining control in excess of 50 percent of the processing power active on the Blockchain, potentially
permitting such actor or botnet to manipulate the Blockchain in a manner that adversely affects the
Companys mining activities.
 15

If the award of coins for solving blocks and transaction fees are not sufficiently high, miners may not
have an adequate incentive to continue mining and may cease their mining operations. Miners ceasing
operations would reduce collective processing power, which would adversely affect the confirmation
process for transactions (i.e., decreasing the speed at which blocks are added to the Blockchain until the
next scheduled adjustment in difficulty for block solutions) and make the network more vulnerable to a
malicious actor or botnet obtaining control in excess of 50 percent of the processing power. Any
reduction in confidence in the confirmation process or processing power of the network may adversely
impact the Companys mining activities, inventory of coins, and future investment strategies.

The price of coins may be affected by the sale of coins by other vehicles investing in coins or tracking
cryptocurrency markets.

To the extent that other vehicles investing in coins or tracking cryptocurrency markets form and come to
represent a significant proportion of the demand for coins, large redemptions of the securities of those
vehicles and the subsequent sale of coins by such vehicles could negatively affect cryptocurrency prices
and therefore affect the value of the inventory held by the Company.

Reliance on Genesis

As the Company and its management are reliant on the expertise and experience of Genesis, the Company
may be exposed to certain risks should Genesis fail to manage the HIVE Facility in a proper manner.

Risk related to technological obsolescence and difficulty in obtaining hardware

To remain competitive, the Company will continue to invest in hardware and equipment at the HIVE
Facility required for maintaining the Companys mining activities. Should competitors introduce new
services/software embodying new technologies, the Company recognizes its hardware and equipment and
its underlying technology may become obsolete and require substantial capital to replace such equipment.

The increase in interest and demand for cryptocurrencies has led to a shortage of mining hardware as
individuals purchase equipment for mining at home. According to PC Gamer, AMDs Radeon RX 580
and Radeon RX 570 have been out of stock for months. The shortage has led to chip producers Nvidia
and AMD to consider producing graphic cards specifically designed for mining cryptocurrencies, but it is
not certain when these cards will be available for sale. Equipment in the HIVE Facility will require
replacement from time to time. Shortages of graphics processing units may lead to unnecessary downtime
as the Company searches for replacement equipment to ensure the HIVE Facility is running smoothly.

Risks related to insurance

The Resulting Issuer intends to insure its operations in accordance with technology industry practice.
However, given the novelty of cryptocurrency mining and associated businesses, such insurance may not
be available, uneconomical for the Resulting Issuer, or the nature or level may be insufficient to provide
adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance
could have a material adverse effect on the Resulting Issuer.
 16

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Prior to the closing of the Iceland Data Centre Equipment Acquisition, the compensation of the
Company's Named Executive Officers has been established with a view to attracting and retaining
executives critical to the Company's short and long-term success and to continue providing executives
with compensation that is in accordance with existing market standards generally and competitive within
the mining industry, in particular. After the closing of the Iceland Data Centre Equipment Acquisition,
the compensation of the Companys Named Executive Officers will be in accordance with existing
market standards generally and competitive within the technology industry, in particular.
Compensation of the Company's Named Executive Officers is comprised of a base salary and the grant of
options to purchase common shares under the Company's stock option plan (as more particularly
described below). Through its executive compensation practices, the Company seeks to provide value to
its shareholders through a strong executive leadership. Specifically, the Company's executive
compensation structure seeks to attract and retain talented and experienced executives necessary to
achieve the Company's strategic objectives, motivate and reward executives whose knowledge, skills and
performance are critical to the Company's success, align the interests of the Company's executives and
shareholders by motivating executives to increase shareholder value.
Within the context of the overall objectives of the Company's compensation practices, the Company
determined not to pay any compensation to its executives during the year ended March 31, 2017.
 24

The Board of Directors has not conducted a formal evaluation of the implications of the risks associated
with the Company's compensation policies. Risk management is a consideration of the Board of
Directors when implementing its compensation policies and the Board of Directors do not believe that the
Company's compensation policies result in unnecessary or inappropriate risk taking including risks that
are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Base Salary
The Company has not entered into any management agreements with its executive officers, and did not
pay any base salary to its executives in the most recently completed financial year. Going forward the
Company may determine that payment of a base salary is appropriate for its executives and may enter into
management or employment agreements providing for payment of a base salary or other compensation.
Option Based Awards

The Company has in effect the Company Stock Option Plan in order to provide effective incentives to
directors, officers and senior management personnel and consultants of the Company and to enable the
Company to attract and retain experienced and qualified individuals in those positions by permitting such
individuals to directly participate in an increase in per share value created for the Companys
shareholders. In determining option grants to the Named Executive Officers, the Board of Directors
together with management takes into consideration factors that include the amount and exercise price of
previous option grants, the NEO's experience, level of expertise and responsibilities, and the contributions
of each NEO towards the completion of corporate transactions in any given fiscal year.
No stock options were granted under the Company's stock option plan in place prior to the Company
Stock Option Plan during the financial year ended March 31, 2017.

Use of Financial Instruments

The Company does not have a policy that would prohibit a Named Executive Officer or director from
purchasing financial instruments, including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or
units of exchange funds, that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity
securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the Named Executive Officer or
director. However, management is not aware of any Named Executive Officer or director purchasing
such an instrument.

NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS COMPENSATION

In accordance with the provisions of applicable securities legislation, the Company had one (1) Named
Executive Officer during the financial year ended March 31, 2017, namely John Brydle.
The following table sets out certain information respecting the compensation paid to the Named

Equipment, which will instead be agreed in individual purchase orders issued pursuant to the agreement.
A standard intellectual property infringement indemnity is provided by Genesis Iceland. The Company
 31

may terminate the agreement at any time for convenience. Genesis Iceland may only terminate the
agreement for cause.

Iceland Data Centre Equipment Purchase Order #1

Concurrently with completion of the Master Data Centre Equipment Purchase Agreement, the Company
and its subsidiaries and Genesis Iceland executed the Iceland Data Centre Equipment Purchase Order #1
at a price of US$9 million, and delivery and payment due on closing of the Transactions.

Master Services Agreement

On September 13, 2017, the Company and Genesis entered into the Master Services Agreement which
sets out the standard terms and conditions pursuant to which the Company or a Company subsidiary may
purchase, and Genesis or a Genesis subcontractor will provide such services as are necessary for the
design, selection, installation, configuration, management, operation, security, maintenance and support
of Company-owned or Company subsidiary-owned data centres. Services are ordered through the
issuance of agreed service orders. The agreement anticipates the payment of monthly service fees for
standard services, which include: set up; internet access and network connectivity; security; regulation of
facility environment; power; cleaning; systems operation; and equipment and systems maintenance and
support. Power is provided at Genesis cost, and adjustments (which may include credits to Company)
may be made if there is a change to Genesis cost. Additional services, including replacement of
defective hardware that is out of warranty, training, software installation, data recovery and disaster
recovery, may be provided on a time and materials basis. The agreement provides for a guaranteed data
centre uptime of 93%, failing which Downtime Compensation will be payable by Genesis to the
Company. Downtime Compensation will be determined based on the difference between actual uptime
during the month and the guaranteed uptime, multiplied by the average production of coins during the
month divided by actual uptime. The agreement may be terminated for convenience by Company upon
thirty days notice subject to the payment of a termination fee, or by either party for unrectified breach.
Genesis has a right of first refusal to repurchase data centre equipment at the depreciated cost if Company
terminates the relevant service order for convenience. Company may require Genesis to repurchase data
centre equipment at the depreciated cost if the relevant service order is terminated by Company due to
breach by Genesis within the first twelve months of the commencement of services to be provided
pursuant to a purchase order.

Iceland Data Centre Service Order #1

Concurrently with completion of the Master Services Agreement, the Company, its subsidiaries and
Genesis executed Iceland Data Centre Services Order #1 whereby Genesis will provide standard services
at the HIVE Facility in Iceland, for a minimum period of one year, and shall be automatically renewed
each year, unless either party provides notice not to renew not less than six months prior to the expiry of
the then-current term. As consideration for the services, the Genesis will receive a monthly fee of
US$144,650.

Investor Rights Agreement

The Investor Rights Agreement between the Company and Genesis provides the following rights to
Genesis:

For as long as Genesis and its Affiliates collectively own, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of
the issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares, Genesis will have the right to participate (a
Participation Right) in any equity financing of the Company (a Subsequent Financing) up
 32

to such number of Resulting Issuer Shares that will allow Genesis to maintain the same
percentage ownership interest in the issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares as Genesis
held immediately prior to the completion of such equity financing. This right will not apply to
dilution of the Companys shares as a result of compensation, exercise of existing convertible
securities, exercise of convertible securities issued in an equity financing which Genesis had the
right to participate, certain corporate re-organizations and pursuant to a takeover bid,
arrangement, consolidation, merger, acquisition of substantially all of the assets of another
Person, or acquisition of greater than 50% of the equity ownership of another Person (excluding
exercise of convertible securities issued in an equity financing which Genesis had the right to
participate, a Non-Participatory Offering). In exercising its Participation Right, and in the
event that Genesis has had its percentage ownership interest in the issued and outstanding
Resulting Issuer Shares reduced pursuant to a Non-Participatory Offering, Genesis percentage
ownership interest in the issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares will be deemed to be the
percentage ownership interest held immediately prior to the Non-Participatory Offering, rather
than immediately prior to the completion of the Subsequent Financing.

In the event that Genesis and its Affiliates direct or indirect percentage ownership interest in the
issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares falls below 10% of the issued and outstanding
Resulting Issuer Shares as a result of one or more Non-Participatory Offering, Genesis will be
entitled to participate in a Subsequent Financing with the right to subscribe for up to such number
of securities offered under the Subsequent Financing as will increase its percentage ownership
interest held prior to such Non-Participatory Offering(s).

For a minimum period of two years following the date of the Investor Rights Agreement, and
subject to eligibility under the BCBCA and policies of the Exchange, Genesis shall have the right
to nominate two members to the Companys Board of Directors. Following this period, Genesis
will have the right to nominate two members to the Companys Board of Directors for as long as
Genesis, and its Affiliates, maintain an aggregate ownership, directly or indirectly, of at least 15%
of the issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares. In the event that Genesis, and its Affiliates
aggregate ownership, directly or indirectly, of the issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares
falls below 15% but remains at or above 10%, Genesis will have the right to nominate one
member to the Companys Board of Directors. In the event that Genesis, and its Affiliates
aggregate ownership, directly or indirectly, of the issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares
falls below 10%, Genesis will not have the any right to nominate members to the Companys
Board of Directors.

The foregoing represents a summary of the Investor Rights Agreement only, and is qualified in entirety
by the full text of the Investor Rights Agreement, the form of which is available as an appendix to the

Narrative Description of Business

Background

Introduction to Blockchain and Cryptocurrency

Blockchain technology was invented in 2008 as the database technology that underpins Bitcoin, the
worlds first cryptocurrency. Even though the technology has remained synonymous with Bitcoin and
cryptocurrencies, blockchain technologies are capable of much more than just serving as a database for a
decentralised digital currency. Blockchain is gaining widespread adoption and is the backbone of a new
digital world with fewer middlemen, greater efficiency and automated transactions.

A significant advantage to blockchain technology is that it can store data and distribute in a decentralised
manner. The decentralisation of information increases security and offers additional functionality to its
users. Blockchain technologies are making a significant impact in many areas of business, finance,
information management and governance, but it is still in the early stages with significant future
opportunities.

A cryptocurrency is a form of encrypted and decentralised digital currency, transferred directly between
peers across the internet, with transactions being settled, confirmed and recorded in a distributed public
ledger by a process known as mining.

Units of a cryptocurrency exist only as data on the internet, and are not issued or controlled by any single
institution, authority, or government. Whereas most of the worlds money currently exists in the form of
electronic records managed by central authorities such as banks, units of a cryptocurrency exist as
electronic records in a decentralised tamper-proof transaction database called a blockchain. The ledger is
publicly available to anyone and secured with public key encryption.

How a Cryptocurrency Works

Cryptocurrencies are decentralised digital currencies that enables instant transfers to anyone, anywhere in
the world. Transactions occurs via an open source, cryptographic protocol platform which uses peer-to-
peer technology to operate with no central authority. The network is an online, peer-to -peer network that
hosts the public transaction ledger, known as the blockchain; and each cryptocurrency with a source code
that comprises the basis for the cryptographic and algorithmic protocols governing the blockchain. No
single entity owns or operates the network, the infrastructure of which is collectively maintained by a
decentralised user base. As the network is decentralised, it does not rely on either governmental
authorities or financial institutions to create, transmit or determine the value of the coins. Rather, the
value of a coin is determined by the market supply of and demand for the coins, the prices set in transfers
by mutual agreement or barter as well as the number of merchants that accept the coins. Because coins
are digital files that can be transferred without the involvement of intermediaries or third parties, there are
little or no transaction costs in direct peer-to-peer transactions. Coins can be used to pay for goods and
services or can be converted to fiat currencies, such as the US dollar, at rates determined by various
exchanges. Bitcoin.org lists a number of Bitcoin Exchanges, including international exchanges such as:
Bitsquare, Bitstamp, and Coinbase. There are also country-based and regional Exchanges. Additionally,
 34

third party service providers are also used for transfers but they may charge significant fees for processing
transactions.

In a cryptocurrency network, every peer has their own copy of the blockchain, which contains records of
every historical coin transaction - effectively containing records of all account balances. Each account is
identified solely by its unique public key (making it effectively anonymous), and is secured with its
associated private key (kept secret, like a password). The combination of private and public
cryptographic keys constitutes a secure digital identity in the form of a digital signature, providing strong
control of ownership.

Assuming, for example, that Alice is sending some quantity of Bitcoin to Bob, the amount of Bitcoin to
send is combined with Bobs public key and some information from the previous transaction(s) that
Alices Bitcoins came from, into a message that Alice signs with her private key. The transaction
message is then broadcasted out into the wide Bitcoin Network, where it is received by Bitcoin miners
who (with high-performance computers running specialized automatic Bitcoin mining software) verify
the transaction, group it with others into a transaction block, and work to solve the proof-of-work
cryptographic puzzle that links the new block to the blockchain.

Each time a new block of transactions is created, data from that block is used to create a hash that is
stored along with the block. One piece of data used is the hash from the most recent block in the
blockchain. Each blocks hash is created using the hash of the block before it, acting as a sort of tamper-
evident seal that confirms the validity of the new block and all earlier blocks. Alterations made to any
earlier block would make the hashes of all subsequent blocks invalid, the discrepancy would be easily
detected by future miners, and that broadcast would be discarded in favour of one from a different peer.
Thus, miners vote with their computer power, expressing their acceptance of valid blocks by working on
extending them and rejecting invalid blocks by refusing to work on them1 and consensus of the majority
is represented by the longest blockchain.

Miners compete to solve new blocks; a miner that verifies and solves a new block is awarded newly-
generated quantity of coins, an amount which is usually proportional to the miners contributed hash
rate/work, (plus a small transaction fee) as an incentive to invest their computer power, as mining is
critical to the continuing functioning and security of the cryptocurrency network. The difficulty of the
proof-of-work puzzles is automatically adjusted so that a new block is mined on a specified basis,
adapting as the total mining power active on the network increases over time.

Blockchain safety is ensured by a number of different protocols, such as proof-of-work and proof-of-
stake. Proof-of-work is currently the most widely used, including currencies such as Bitcoin and Ether.
Proof-of-work functions on the basis of a distributed consensus system dependent on the participation of
miners who through their computing work verify the blockchain transactions.

Why Cryptocurrencies?

A blockchain enables market participants to make and verify transactions on a network instantaneously
without a central authority (i.e., a clearinghouse in the traditional financial system). We believe that
Blockchain, the backbone technology behind cryptocurrency mining, has the potential to truly disrupt
multiple industries and make processes more democratic, secure, transparent, and efficient.

fixed size.
 35

Interbank transactions can potentially take days for clearing and final settlement, especially outside of
working hours. Blockchain transactions can reduce transaction times to minutes and are processed 24/7.

Because cryptocurrencies/digital currencies are completely digital, they can be used in ways that ordinary
currencies cannot; primarily, they are used like the digital equivalent of cash. Unlike credit or debit cards
that are issued by banks, consumers don't need an account or good credit to use digital currencies.
Further, digital currencies are becoming increasingly accepted globally by retailers and institutions.

The Market for Cryptocurrency

The market for cryptocurrencies has been growing at a volatile pace in 2017, the market capitalization
has grown from US$17 billion in January 2017, reaching peaks over US$150 billion in August 2017, and
daily volumes growing from US$130 million in January 2017 to peaks over US$7 billion in August 2017.

Cryptocurrencies first surfaced in 2009 with the debut of Bitcoin as the worlds first decentralised
cryptocurrency. The initial exchange rate (recorded on October 5, 2009) for Bitcoin was 1 BTC =
US$0.000764. Due to its first mover advantage, Bitcoin has remained the number one cryptocurrency in
terms of market capitalization (US$47.3 billion as at July 31, 2017). As of July 31, 2017, the trading
price of one Bitcoin was US $2,870, indicating an early investor in Bitcoin would have benefited from
over 377,000,000% in return.

Cryptocurrencies offer many advantages over traditional, (also known as fiat) currency, including:

Acting as a fraud deterrent, as cryptocurrencies are digital and cannot be counterfeited or reversed
arbitrarily by sender;

Immediate settlement;

Eliminate counterparty risk;

No trusted intermediary required;

Lower fees;

Identity theft prevention;

Accessible by everyone;

Transactions are verified and protected through a confirmation process, which prevents the
problem of double spending currencies;

Decentralised - no central authority (government or financial institution); and

Recognized universally and not bound by government imposed exchange rates.

As the demand for cryptocurrencies increases and cryptocurrencies become more widely accepted, there
is an increasing demand for professional-grade, scalable infrastructure to support growth of the growing
blockchain ecosystem.

Ethereum
 36

The cryptocurrency Ether and its corresponding platform Ethereum has been gaining favour as it presents
significant technological improvements over Bitcoin, including the ability to build applications and code
smart contracts directly into the blockchain.

Currently ranked as the currency with the second highest market capitalization (US$19 billion as at July
31, 2017), Ethereum has 94.2 million Ether circulating. Ethereum has caught on in recent years due to its
smart contract abilities and flexibility in creating new applications. Cryptocurrency users no longer focus
on just the peer-to-peer currency transfer abilities of Bitcoin but look for other functionalities, such as
global decentralised computing or smart contracts infrastructure. The graph below indicates ETHs
market cap from September 2015 to July 2017. At its peak, ETHs market cap reached $35.9 billion in
mid-June 2017.

ETH prices from September 2015 to July 2017 are charted in the graph below. Prices have gone from
$1.16 in September 2015 to a high of $391.51 in mid-June of 2017 before dipping down to $201.33 at the
end of July 2017.
 37

Whereas Bitcoin was originally designed to be a secure digital cash system, the goal for Ethereum was to
create a fully-programmable blockchain. First proposed by its inventor, Vitalik Buterin in 2013,
Ethereum provides an open, decentralised blockchain platform that runs smart contracts and distributed
applications (dapps), using its integrated cryptocurrency, called Ether. The primary programming
language for Ethereum, Solidity, is a high-level contract-oriented language that facilitates the
programming of smart contracts and dapps that run on the Ethereum Virtual Machine. Developers can
also write programs for the Ethereum platform that integrate as blockchain-based components of more
complex web applications.

A smart contract, the term coined by computer scientist Nick Szabo in 1994, is a computerized
transaction protocol that executes the terms of a contract. The general objectives of smart contract design
are to satisfy common contractual conditions (such as payment terms, liens, confidentiality, and even
enforcement), minimize exceptions both malicious and accidental, and minimize the need for trusted
intermediaries. Related economic goals include lowering fraud loss, arbitration and enforcement costs,
and other transaction costs.2 Smart contracts involving conditional payment can be implemented in
Ethereum via transfer of Ether.

As explained by Blockgeeks3, proof of stake is an alternative method in validating cryptocurrency

transactions. With proof of stake, the creator of a new block is chosen in a deterministic way, depending
on its wealth. No block rewards are given to the miners, instead, they receive transaction fees. One of the
advantages of proof of stake over proof of work is that proof of stake mining requires much lower
amounts of energy.

In May of 2017, Ethereums creator Vitalik Buterin released an implementation guide to merge proof of
work mining with Ethereums proof of stake system, Casper. Casper requires validators (miners) to
submit deposits to participate in the mining pool and may remove their deposits if the protocol determines
violations of certain rules and conditions. Certain cryptocurrencies utilize the proof of stake method
instead of proof of work. These cryptocurrencies include Peercoin, BlackCoin, and Mintcoin. See Risk
Factors General Cryptocurrency Risks - Possibility of the Ether algorithm transitioning to proof of
stake validation above.

Competition and Market Participants

In the cryptocurrency industry, there exists many online companies that offer cryptocurrency cloud
mining services, as well as companies, individuals and groups that run their own mining farms. Miners
can range from individual enthusiasts to professional mining operations with dedicated data centres,
however, the vast majority of mining is now undertaken by mining pools.

Miners may organize themselves in mining pools. A mining pool is created when cryptocurrency miners
pool their processing power over a network and mine transactions together. Rewards are then distributed
proportionately to each miner based on the work / hash power contributed. Mining pools became popular
when mining difficulty and block time increased. Mining pools allow miners to pool their resources so
they can generate blocks quickly and receive rewards on a consistent basis instead of mining alone where
rewards may not be received for long periods. The Resulting Issuer may also decide to participate in a
mining pool in order to smooth the receipt of rewards.

Mining pools exist for each cryptocurrency. Buy Bitcoin Worldwide lists the top five Ethereum mining
pools, which include: Ethpool; Ethermine; f2pool; DwarfPool; and, Ethfans. According to data from
Etherchain, as of August 2, 2017, Ethpool and Ethermine together represent 28.5% of the Etheruem
networks hash rate.

Other market participants in the cryptocurrency industry include investors and speculators, retail users
transacting in cryptocurrencies, and service companies that provide a variety of services including buying,
selling, payment processing and storing of cryptocurrencies.

Stated Business Objectives

The Resulting Issuers mission will be to build a

leading listed blockchain company through the
development and ownership of cryptocurrency
mining infrastructure and other related blockchain
businesses. To accomplish this objective, upon
closing of the Transactions, the Resulting Issuer
intends to:

use the acquired Iceland Data Centre

Equipment at the HIVE Facility to
immediately commence mining of Ether for
the benefit of the Resulting Issuer, pursuant to the Master Services Agreement - see Part II
Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer Summary of Transactions Master Services
Agreement above for more detail ;

implement an investment strategy involving liquidation of a portion of mined coins as a ratio of

future forecasted expenses while holding the remainder as inventory to benefit from price
appreciation/volatility; and

in conjunction with Genesis, identify and evaluate the potential acquisition of additional
cryptocurrency data centres - see Part II Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer
Summary of Transactions Transaction Agreement above for more detail.

The above objectives may change at any time depending on market conditions. See Risk Factors.

Milestones

To accomplish the Resulting Issuer's stated business objectives, it is anticipated that the Resulting Issuer
will need accomplish the following milestones:

Develop and Improve Risk Management Processes. As the Company accumulates coins from
mining, and implements its investment strategy, the Company will continue to optimize and
strengthen its security around the receipt, storage and sale of coins. In addition the Company will
explore various insurance options to ensure that the assets of the Company are appropriately
safeguarded against risks.

Acquire Additional Facilities. The Letter of Intent and Transaction Agreement contemplate that
the Resulting Issuer may purchase additional data centres from Genesis in Iceland or Sweden. As
 39

such, the Resulting Issuer may acquire additional data centres and use multiple data centres to
strategically mine and invest in Ether or other cryptocurrencies.

Establish Market Presence. The Resulting Issuer plans to establish a market presence within the
cryptocurrency industry to gain access to technological advancement updates, industry news, and
competitors in the industry. The Resulting Issuer will expand its network and establish
relationships that are mutually beneficial which will also allow the Resulting Issuer access to
identify future acquisition / partnership opportunities, including new technologies that may
complement the Resulting Issuers existing business.

The foregoing milestones may change due to market conditions. Please see "Risk Factors".

The HIVE Facility

Through the Transactions, the Resulting Issuer will become the owner of the Iceland Data Centre
Equipment (the HIVE Facility) hosted at a facility located in Reykjanes, Iceland, that will be managed by
Genesis under the Master Services Agreement. See Part II Information Concerning the Resulting
Issuer Summary of Transactions Master Services Agreement above for more detail.

The facility is strategically located in Reykjanes, Iceland, where electricity costs are low due to an
abundance of hydro power and geothermal energy in Iceland. According to Eurostat4 statistics, during the
second half of 2016, Icelands industry electricity cost was 0.065 (or CDN$0.096) per kilowatt hour,
making it the country with the fourth lowest electricity costs in the European Union.

Iceland tends to be cool year-round, with summer daytime temperature seldom rising above 25C. The
Resulting Issuer, therefore, will not have to incur substantial expenses in cooling mining equipment that is
prone to overheat.

The HIVE Facility consists of 2,301 graphic processing unit (GPU) mining rigs. Maintenance costs,
including electrical power, to be paid to Genesis, for operation of the HIVE Facility are expected to be
around US$144,650 per month. The maintenance costs will be part of the Master Services Agreement.

The GPU mining rigs have the capability to mine any GPU-based algorithm, including Ether, Monero and
Zcash, provided the appropriate programming is installed on the hardware. In the immediate future, the
Company plans to focus its mining efforts on Ether, while examining other altcoins for potential other
opportunities.

Genesis Optimization

The HIVE Facility are optimized for efficient cryptocurrency mining and will utilize Genesis Hive
(described below), Genesis proprietary monitoring tool for large-scale mining.

Genesis Hive is a web interface that enables users to set up and monitor their mining activities. Genesis
will utilize this tool as part of their maintenance services, as well as granting access to the Resulting
Issuer to enable the Resulting Issuer to remotely monitor the HIVE equipment. The tool allows users to
allocate hashpower to different cryptocurrencies. Genesis Hives shelf assignment technique allows the
user to remotely monitor its mining activities and detect problematic miners, keeping maintenance costs
to a minimum. Problematic miners tend to be those that are underperforming and not generating a

 40

sufficient return, which may include overheated miners or miners experiencing hashrate drops. With
Genesis Hive, one will be in constant control of its rigs and the Resulting Issuer can remotely monitor
them from one single dashboard. Detailed analytics, such as hashrates, temperatures, rig statuses,
calculated power consumption are also quickly accessible.

Notes:
(1) Based on computational capacity of the HIVE Facility, the historical Ether prices and observed Ether hash rates over
the period from June 2016 to June 2017, and assuming immediate sale of the Ether coins once mined, the net cash
contribution margin of the proceeds less monthly maintenance fee over this historical period would have been US$7
million.; the Company therefore believes future operations to be cash flow positive, however has presented $nil
revenues for the purposes of this table.
(2) Represents US$9,000,000 based on the indicative exchange rate on August 24, 2017 as reported by the Bank of
Canada for the conversion of U.S. dollars into Canadian dollars, being CDN$1.2529 equals US$1.00.
(3) Represents US$1,735,800 based on the indicative exchange rate on August 24, 2017 as reported by the Bank of
Canada for the conversion of U.S. dollars into Canadian dollars, being CDN$1.2529 equals US$1.00.

Based on current projections, the Resulting Issuers working capital available for funding ongoing
operations is expected to meet its expenses for a minimum period of 12 months commencing immediately
after the completion of the Transactions, assuming successful mining and sales of coins.

Notwithstanding the proposed uses of available funds discussed above, there may be circumstances
where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be necessary. It is difficult, at this time, to
definitively project the total funds necessary to effect the planned activities of the Resulting Issuer. For
these reasons, management of the Resulting Issuer considers it to be in the best interests of the Resulting
 43

Issuer and its shareholders to afford management a reasonable degree of flexibility as to how the funds
are employed among the uses identified above, or for other purposes, as the need arises. Further, the
above uses of available funds should be considered estimates. See Forward-Looking Information

Dividends

The Resulting Issuer does not currently intend to declare any dividends payable to the holders of the
Resulting Issuer shares. The Resulting Issuer has no restrictions on paying dividends, but if the Resulting
Issuer generates earnings in the foreseeable future, it expects that they will be retained to finance growth,
if any. The directors of the Resulting Issuer will determine if and when dividends should be declared and
paid in the future based upon the Resulting Issuers financial position at the relevant time.

Principal Securityholders

It is not anticipated that any Person will own of record or beneficially, directly or indirectly, or exercise
control or direction over, more than 10% of the Resulting Issuer Shares following the completion of the
