TTM Digital


TTM Digital is a digital asset technology and mining company that owns and operates a large number of specialized cryptocurrency mining processors and is currently focused on the Ethereum blockchain ecosystem.

As discussed in the Heads of Terms agreement below, the Company is in discussion with a third party to sell TTM Digital's assets.

The Company made the decision to divest its mining equipment and the data center of the TTM Digital and commenced discussions with a third party to execute an asset sale. On March 24, 2022, the Company executed Heads of Terms ("Heads of Terms") with Ostendo Technologies, Inc. ("Ostendo") which includes certain binding and non-binding provisions. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company and Ostendo agreed to certain terms related to the Company's sale of its Ethereum mining assets and certain associated real property. The Assets to be sold will not include the Company's Ether funds generated prior to and held at Closing. The definitive terms of the sale of assets will be set forth in definitive transaction agreements (the "Definitive Documentation") to be executed by the parties. The closing of the TTM Digital Asset sale will be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions.

The parties have extended the closing of the transaction to July 31, 2022. As of August 15, 2022, the parties have not yet entered into Definitive Documentation, and have not amended the Heads of Terms, as amended, to extend the closing date; however, the parties continue to negotiate toward completion of Definitive Documentation.

Known Trends or Uncertainties

SGS experiences variability in our net sales and operating results on a quarterly basis as a result of many factors. SGS experiences some seasonal trends in our sales of technology solutions to government and educational institutions. For example, the fiscal year-ends of U.S. Public Sector customers vary for those in the federal government space and those in the state and local government and educational institution ("SLED") space. SGS generally sees an increase in our second quarter sales related to customers in the U.S. SLED sector and in our third quarter sales related to customers in the federal government space as these customers close out their budgets for their fiscal year (June 30th and December 31st, respectively). SGS may experience variability in our gross profit and gross profit margin as a result of changes in the various vendor programs we participate in and its effect on the amount of vendor consideration we receive from a particular vendor or their authorized distributor/wholesaler, may be impacted by a number of events outside of our control.





                                       26




TTM Digital, as noted above and disclosed in Note 1 - Nature and description of the Business, Heads of Terms agreement, has made the decision to divest its mining equipment and the data center of the TTM Digital reporting unit and commenced discussions with a third party to execute an asset sale. However, shall a sale not be consummated, to successfully continue in the industry, our business model may need to evolve to reflect the trends of the industry. Over time, we may be required to modify aspects of our business model relating to our strategy. We cannot offer any assurance that we will be successful or that the future industry or business operation changes will not result in harm to our business. We may not be able to manage growth effectively, which could damage our reputation, limit our growth and negatively affect our operating results. Management cannot provide any assurances that we will identify all emerging trends and growth opportunities in this business sector, and we may lose out on those opportunities to current or future competitors. As anticipated, any such circumstances could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, or operations

Discussion of Results of Operations of TTM Digital for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022, and 2021

The activities for TTM revenues and costs for the three months ended June 30, 2022, represent discontinued operations. As noted above and disclosed in Note 5 to the financial statements, the Company continues to negotiate the closing of the Heads of Terms agreement.

Revenues from mining are impacted significantly by volatility in cryptocurrency prices and network difficulty. The average price of Ethereum mined during the three months ended June 30, 2022, was approximately $2,131 compared to approximately $2,596 during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Network difficulty was also significantly higher in 2022, resulting in lower total rewards from mining. Total Ethereum mined during the three months ended June 30, 2022, was approximately 561 ETH vs approximately 1,600 ETH during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

The estimated transition to proof of stake ("POS") is currently September 19, 2022, and this date is subject to change based on voting in Ethereum Core Development meetings. Transition to proof of stake will have a direct negative impact on the company's ability to generate revenue if the Heads of Terms agreement is not closed prior to POS.

Discussion of Results of Operations of SGS for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022, and 2021

SGS operates on the resale of technology products and associated services related to those products. These products are resold through several contracts with the federal government in SGS' portfolio of contracts. SGS suppliers include wholesale distributors of major technology products, small niche product suppliers, services from specialized partners, and services from SGS' own resources.

The lifecycle of an order includes: solicitation of a requirement form the customer, quotation or proposal in response to the solicitation, evaluation of quote or proposal by the customer, awarding an order to SGS based on favorable evaluation, customer order is then entered in as a sales order, the SGS system then issues purchase orders to suppliers, suppliers delivers the goods to the customer and performs any services necessary to complete order obligations, customer provides acceptance, and SGS issues an invoice to the customer. Once a customer accepts the invoice the dollar amount is guaranteed and backed by the U.S. Treasury. Post invoice obligation may include warranty, maintenance, and telephonic support either directly by SGS or through the OEM directly. From acceptance until the period of performance is completed (warranty, maintenance, and/or telephonic support), SGS is responsible for the operability of the delivered goods. Once the period of performance is completed, the customer will contact SGS to complete a contract closeout.





                                       27




SGS revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, was approximately $3.5 million and 2.0 million. This includes approximately 80% of sales coming from the Company's top two customers. SGS product and service costs for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, was approximately $3.2 million. This includes approximately 85% of product costs from the Company's top two vendors.

SGS margins are affected by the diversity of our supplier. Supplier diversity allows companies such as SGS to seek better cost through competition of multiple suppliers of the same product. Currently, SGS does not have the supplier diversity that is required to increase margin. SGS is on a prepay basis with many suppliers and this requires SGS to finance cash advances to suppliers from our finance source, South Star Capital. Our financial source charges high fees and interest, which also affects our net margin.

SGS also reported for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, $0.3 million and in sales and marketing costs, $1.6 million in general and administrative costs, $0.1 million in amortization costs, resulting in a loss from operations of approximately $1.7 million. The Company continues to search for paths to drive costs down and increase its cash position.

Discussion of Results of Operations of TTM Digital for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022, and 2021

The activities for TTM revenues and costs for the six months ended June 30, 2022, represent discontinued operations. As noted above and disclosed in Note 5 to the financial statements, the Company continues to negotiate the closing of the Heads of Terms agreement.

As disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, revenues from mining are impacted significantly by volatility in cryptocurrency prices and network difficulty. The average price of Ethereum mined during the six months ended June 30, 2022, was approximately $2,564 compared to approximately $2,071 during the six months ended June 30, 2021. While the average price of Ethereum during the six months ended June 30, 2022, was higher than the six months ended June 30, 2021, network difficulty was also significantly higher in 2022, resulting in lower total rewards from mining. Total Ethereum mined during the six months ended June 30, 2022, was approximately 1,235 ETH compared to approximately 2,917 ETH during the six months ended June 30, 2021.





                                       28




The estimated transition to proof of stake ("POS") is currently September 19, 2022, and this date is subject to change based on voting in Ethereum Core Development meetings. Transition to proof of stake will have a direct negative impact on the company's ability to generate revenue if the Heads of Terms agreement is not closed prior to POS.

Discussion of Results of Operations of SGS for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022, and 2021

SGS revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, was approximately $8.6 million and $2.0 million. SGS revenues resulted from product sales to U.S. governmental agencies and local county governments. This includes approximately 95% of sales coming from the Company's top two customers in 2022. As disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, Note 3 - Basis of Presentation, the acquisition/merger was effective April, 2021 which resulted in SGS's reporting period of April 15, 2021 through June 30, 2021. As a result, the six months ended June 30, 2021, is not comparable in total months of operation to the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Product, and service costs for the six months ended June 30, 2022, of approximately $5.5 million included a gain on a vendor liability settlement of $1.5 million. Without this gain, product and service costs would approximate $7.1 million. The margin effect on the revenue and costs as presented is approximately 32%, however without the one-time settlement gain of $1.5 million, the margin is approximately 14%.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was $3.1 million, which were associated with compensation and payroll tax costs, and professional fees related the Heads of Terms investment and sale of TTM assets and ongoing advisory services.

Other income and expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was approximately $4.6 million which included interest incurred on the Company's convertible debt of approximately of $1.7 million, a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.4 million, a realized gain on sale of digital assets $1.2 million and a conversion feature derivative liability valuation of $2.7 million. Other income and expenses for the six months ended June 30,2021 was approximately $24.0 million. SGS recorded approximately $22.0 million in merger charges and $2.0 million in debt restructuring fees for the period six months ended June 30, 2021, related to the acquisition as disclosed in Note 2 Basis of Presentation to the financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources as of June 30, 2022





Going Concern


As of June 30, 2022, the Company had an approximate cash balance of $0.4 million, working capital deficit of approximately $21.7 million, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $59.3 million. The aforementioned factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

The Company does not believe that its capital resources as of June 30, 2022, its ability to settle convertible debt obligations through issuance of the Company's shares, availability on the SouthStar facility to finance purchase orders and invoices, reauthorization of key vendors and credit limitation improvements will be sufficient to fund planned operations during the next twelve months. As a result, the Company will need additional funds to support its obligations. The Company continues to explore a number of other possible solutions to its financing needs, including efforts to raise additional capital as needed, through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, as well as possible transactions with other companies, strategic partnerships, and other mechanisms for addressing our financial condition. The Company will utilize its current contracts that are not limited to a single branch of government or a specific agency. These contracts can provide the Company an opportunity to attain new solutions and service type orders. The Company will also utilize SGS's small business status to partner with prime contractors on larger orders. The Company currently has utilized SouthStar to finance purchase orders and it also has the ability to factor its receivables if needed to fund operations. In addition, the Company will need to increase its authorized common stock to settle convertible debt conversions.

If the Company is unable to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to the Company and on a timely basis, or is unable to attain new vendors, the Company will be required to downsize or wind down its operations through liquidation, bankruptcy, or sale of its assets. In addition, until the sale of the TTM Assets is consummated, the Company will be subject to changes in the Ethereum Network. The Ethereum network is in the process of implementing software upgrades and other changes to its protocol, which are intended to be a new iteration of the Ethereum network that changes its consensus mechanism from "proof of work" to "proof of stake", which may decrease the reliance on computing power as an advantage to validating blocks. The move to a proof of stake mechanism will shift the network from mining utilizing computing power to staking, in which Ethereum holders can deposit their Ethereum in exchange for rewards. The switch to a proof of stake model would adversely affect the Company's operations and ability to sustain operations. In addition, as of June 30, 2022, the Company has been reliant on its ability to liquidate Ethereum to continue to fund operations when needed, and as such, the Company does not currently have enough Ethereum on hand to fund operations through the next twelve months.

Our capital resources and operating results as of and through June 30, 2022, consist of the:

1) An overall working capital deficit of $21.7 million,

2) Cash and cash equivalents of $0.4 million,

3) Net cash used in operating activities of $5.6 million,

4) Net cash provided by investing activities of $5.4 million.
