TTM Digital


TTM Digital is a digital asset technology and mining company that owns and operates specialized cryptocurrency mining processors and was previously focused on the Ethereum blockchain ecosystem. As of September 15, 2022, Ethereum switched from a Proof of Work model to Proof of Stake model. TTM Digital is currently exploring alternative uses and sales opportunities for its Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) assets and datacenter located in Lockport, NY.

Since Proof of Stake, Ethereum mining companies have begun the process of changing their business model to continue utilization of their mining assets, as the GPUs can be repurposed for a number of other profitable business models. The TTM assets can be used for cloud computing, datacenter hosting, simulation & modeling, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and gaming.

TTM is exploring the possibility of hosting client computing and evaluating all of its options, including the sale of its assets to maximize revenue streams utilizing its current assets.

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.

TTM Digital, as noted above, 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

Three Months Ended September 30, 2022, Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2021

Discussion of Results of Operations of SGS for the Three Months Ended September 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.

SGS revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, was approximately $3.5 million and $1.9 million, respectively. This revenue increase is representative of increased product sales to the federal agencies. This includes approximately 71% of sales coming from the Company's top two customers. SGS product and service costs for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, was approximately $3.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively. This includes approximately 72% 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 September 30, 2022, and 2021, $0.2 million and in sales and marketing costs, $1.0 million in general and administrative costs, $0.1 million in amortization costs, resulting in a loss from operations of approximately $0.9 million. The Company continues to search for paths to drive costs down and increase its cash position. The overall decrease in general and administrative costs are directly related to a decrease in professional and consulting fees.

Other income and expense, including interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was approximately $1.4 million of which interest incurred on the Company's convertible debt of approximately of $0.7 million, a gain on extinguishment of debt of $0.4 million, a realized gain on sale of digital assets of $0.2 million and a conversion feature derivative liability valuation of $1.1 million.

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

The activities for TTM revenues and costs for the three months ended September 30, 2022, represent discontinued operations.

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 September 30, 2022, was approximately $1,521 compared to approximately $2,771 during the three months ended September 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 September 30, 2022, was approximately 512 ETH vs approximately 1,069 ETH during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Ethereum's transition to proof of stake ("POS") took place on September 15, 2022, and has had a direct negative impact on the company's ability to generate revenue.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded approximately $1.3 million of impairment of fixed assets in its discontinued operations.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022, Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

Discussion of Results of Operations of SGS for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022, and 2021

SGS revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, was approximately $12.0 million and $3.9 million respectively. This revenue increase is representative of increased product sales to the federal agencies, however, the periods for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021 are not comparable, as the prior year period includes a short period of April 15, 2021 through September 30, 2021. SGS revenues resulted from product sales to U.S. governmental agencies and local county governments. This includes approximately 83% 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 September 30, 2021. As a result, the nine months ended September 30, 2021, is not comparable in total months of operation to the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Product, and service costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, of approximately $8.4 million included a gain on a vendor liability settlement of $1.5 million. Without this gain, product and service costs would approximate $9.9 million. The margin effect on the revenue and costs as presented is approximately 30%, however without the one-time settlement gain of $1.5 million, the margin is approximately 17%.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $4.4 million, which were associated with compensation and payroll tax costs, and professional fees related to the Heads of Terms investment and sale of TTM assets and ongoing operational advisory and accounting services.

Other income and expense, including interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was approximately $3.2 million of which interest incurred on the Company's convertible debt of approximately of $2.4 million, a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.0 million, a realized gain on sale of digital assets of $1.5 million and a conversion feature derivative liability valuation of $1.6 million. Other income and expenses for the nine months ended September 30,2021 was approximately $25.0 million. SGS recorded approximately $22.0 million in merger charges, $2.0 million in debt restructuring fees and $0.9 million in interest expense for the period nine months ended September 30, 2021, related to the acquisition as disclosed in Note 2 Basis of Presentation to the financial statements.

Discussion of Results of Operations of TTM Digital for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022, and 2021

The activities for TTM revenues and costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, represent discontinued operations.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2022, was approximately $2,213 compared to approximately $2,276 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. While the average price of Ethereum during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was lower than the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Additionally, network difficulty was also significantly higher in 2022, resulting in lower total rewards from mining. Total Ethereum mined during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was approximately 1,747 ETH compared to approximately 3,987 ETH during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Ethereum's transition to proof of stake ("POS") occurred on September 15, 2022, and has had a direct negative impact on the company's ability to generate revenue.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded approximately $2.3 million of impairment of fixed assets in its discontinued operations.





                                       26





Liquidity and Capital Resources as of September 30, 2022





Going Concern


As of September 30, 2022, the Company had an approximate cash balance of $0.1 million, working capital deficit of approximately $21.6 million, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $60.4 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 September 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, as of September 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 September 30, 2022, consist of the:

1) An overall working capital deficit of $21.6 million,

2) Cash and cash equivalents of $0.1 million,

3) Net cash used in operating activities of $6.9 million,

4) Net cash provided by investing activities of $6.4 million.
