Liquidity, Financial Condition, and Going Concern
Note 2. Liquidity, Financial Condition, and Going Concern:

The Company has experienced recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations.  At March 31, 2019, the Company had approximate balances of cash and cash equivalents of $1,000,000, digital currencies of $1,085,000, a working capital deficit of $18,561,000, total stockholders' deficit of $8,769,000 and an accumulated deficit of $210,728,000. To date, the Company has, in large part, relied on equity and debt financing to fund its operations. 

The Company’s primary focus is on its digital currency mining operation located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, along with its investigation of the launch of RiotX as a digital currency exchange in the United States. That operational focus and the Company’s acquisitions of Kairos and 1172767 B.C. Ltd. (“1172767” or “Tess”), formerly known as Tess Inc., and its investment in goNumerical Ltd. (d/b/a “Coinsquare”), as well as the Company’s name change, reflects a strategic decision by the Company to operate in the blockchain and digital currency related business sector. The Company's current strategy will continue to expose the Company to the numerous risks and volatility associated within this sector.
 
The Company expects to continue to incur losses from operations for the near-term and these losses could be significant as the Company incurs costs and expenses associated with recent and potential future acquisitions, and development of the RiotX exchange platform, as well as public company, legal and administrative related expenses being incurred. As disclosed in Note 7, during the three months ended March 31, 2019, for a total investment of $3,000,000, the Company issued a series of Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes, to investors for an aggregate principal amount of $3,358,333 and an equal value of warrants for the purchase of shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company is closely monitoring its cash balances, cash needs and expense levels.
 
The Company believes that in order for the Company to meet its obligations arising from normal business operations for the next twelve months, the Company requires additional capital either in the form of equity or debt. Without additional capital, the Company’s ability to continue to operate will be limited. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease or reduce its operations. The Company is currently pursuing capital transactions in the form of debt and equity, however, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be successful in its plans. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern. In the opinion of management, these factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
