2. Overall Performance

The Company operated in 2020 as an award winning, data center operator, and cloud services provider and is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”). The Company hosted third party IT infrastructure, utilizing 100% green power at amongst the EU’s lowest power prices within an ISO27001 accredited facility. The Company used locally generated, clean, green hydropower. The Company provided purpose-built colocation space and cooling, telecoms, IT support services and 24/7 physical security in their facility. On June 23, 2020, the Company announced that it was beginning the provision of Cloud based services in partnership with CloudSigma. The service commenced operation on August 12, 2020.

On March 4, 2021, the Company sold Hydro66 UK Limited, and its wholly owned subsidiaries Hydro66 Services AB, Hydro 66 Svenska AB, and Hydro 66 Property Services AB to Northern Data AG (XETRA: NB2) in exchange for 338,273 shares in Northern Data AH (XETRA: NB2) and €1,751,544. The Northern Data AG shares cannot be sold prior to March 4, 2023. At closing on March 4, 2021, the Northern Data shares held by the Company had a value of €32,338,899.

Strategy and markets

The principal activities of the Company, during the period were, the provision of cloud and colocation services specialized in High Performance Cloud Computing, Storage, and information processing. During the year ended December 31, 2020 Hydro66 maintained the operation of the data center, sales focused its efforts on filling that capacity with several new customers added to the facility.

Data centers are increasingly under the spotlight as being energy-intensive, and with that scrutiny comes the need for innovation and transparency. Companies are realising the environmental and cost benefits of locating processing power in a cool climate close to abundant and low-cost green power. The Company’s data center was ideally located to deliver those benefits. The Company was well positioned to deliver green cloud colocation for High Performance Computing, Storage, and Information Processing.

Going forward, post the sale of the data center and the Company’s UK and Swedish assets, it is anticipated that the Company will operate some small-scale cryptocurrency activities using third party data centers. The Company is evaluating other data center opportunities to continue its high-performance computing business while maintaining its focus on providing such capacity in a green and sustainable manner.

Analysis of Financial Performance

During the year to December 31, 2020 Hydro66 recorded revenue of $3.62m vs a prior year of $4.27m, a decline of 15%.

Revenue from information processing and cloud services increased during the period, from $2.45m in 2019 to $2.89m in 2020, an 18% increase over the prior year, demonstrating the success achieved through the change in business focus from co-location to higher margin cloud services.

Direct costs declined from $2.64mm in 2019 to $1.77mm in 2020, despite expansion in power utilisation due to the favourable energy prices in Sweden during 2020. Direct costs accounted for 49% of revenue in 2020 (62% in 2019). Usage of the facility increased from 20.8% at the yearend December 2019 to 21.0% at the yearend December, 2020.

Operating Costs and Expenses also declined due to cost savings implemented by the Director at the end of 2019 and start of 2020. Operating Costs and Expenses declined from $4.78m to $3.85m, a reduction of 19.5%

No dividends were paid during the period.

Provision

The Company’s Swedish entity Hydro66 Svenska AB has been under a tax review regarding parts of its deducted VAT for the period 2016-2020. The Swedish Tax Authorities have not yet come with a ruling but have expressed an intent on reclaiming parts of the VAT deducted by the entity on grounds that Hydro66 Svenska AB is mining crypto currencies for its own use. The Company do not share the Swedish Tax Authorities opinion and is of the clear position that all its services is VAT eligible and preformed for its customers. Since the legal framework regarding cryptocurrency related tax issues is still untested and the Swedish Tax Authorities is known for its aggressive stance in the matter, the Company has chosen to record a provision regarding the expected VAT reclaim. The amount recorded represent an outcome of about 50% of the total amount that is under consideration and represents the weighted effect of the expected decision from the Swedish Tax Authorities together with the probability of the final outcome. The Company’s position is that any reclaim decision will be appealed to the administrative court.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or ability to raise funds, however the Company does expect that customer growth rates and earnings will be lower than planned for 2021.

Convertible Loan

In March 2020, the company entered into a secured convertible loan agreement with David Rowe, a significant shareholder and a director of the Company, and with Robert Keith, a significant shareholder of the Company. The maximum amount of the loan will be USD$1,000,000 in the aggregate, convertible at the market price of the common shares at the date of conversion, with the initial advance of USD$300,000 with exchange rate on March 31, 2020 for conversion of amounts advanced in USD to Canadian dollars. The remaining amounts of the Loan may be requested by the Company, if necessary, on or before December 31, 2021, in the same amounts as advanced by such lender under the Initial Advance. The Company will request that any amount advanced be made in Canadian dollars, however, the Company acknowledges that the lenders may make advances in either British Sterling or USD. This brought the total principal amount outstanding as of March 31, 2020 under the two convertible loan agreements to $3,826,355.

The new convertible Loan is evidenced by second ranking secured convertible promissory notes in favour of the lenders for each advance under the Loan. The maturity date of the principal amount, interest and any fees of the Loan is seven (7) years from the date of the Initial Advance and the rate of interest is 10% per annum. The interest for the initial two (2) years of the Loan shall not be payable until such time as the Loan is repaid in full.

On June 2, 2020, the company announced the drawdown of an additional USD 300,000 under the new convertible loan bringing the total principal amount outstanding under the two convertible loan agreements to $4,239,383.

On August 14, 2020, the company announced the drawdown of an additional USD 400,000 under the new convertible loan bringing the total principal amount outstanding under the two convertible loan agreements to $4,768,063 which also is the outstanding principal amount as of December 31, 2020.

Robert Keith (June) Owner USD 128,000
David Rowe (August) Director USD 231,000
RobertKeith(August) Owner USD 169,000

As of December 31, 2020, the interest accrued under the convertible debentures was $667,646, ($249,898 at December 31, 2019).

4. Discussion of Operations

The Company’s principal activity in 2020 was the provision of co-location and cloud computing services, specialised in High Performance Computing, Storage, and information processing. During the year ended December 31, 2020 the Company focussed its efforts on developing its Infrastructure as a Service (IAAS) offering and sale of computing services, alongside operating its traditional co-location services.

Hydro66 delivers low-cost, environmentally friendly colocation services. Using locally generated clean green hydropower, Hydro66’s first data centre is in the leading cloud and data centre cluster in the Nordics, in Northern Sweden. This gives customers the ability to reduce their carbon footprint while providing cost savings against the traditional colocation model.

The Company also sells cloud computing power and IAAS to customers. From these sales the Company may receive income in the form of digital currencies. All digital currencies received are converted to traditional currency shortly after their receipt.

The Company retains the potential to grow the existing site to greater than 40MW and in November 2020 exercised its right to acquire additional land adjacent to the existing site enabling potential expansion to 80MW plus.

Hydro66 was close to cash flow breakeven at the end of 2020 for the reasons outlined above and moved into positive cashflow during Q1 2021. 2020 was a year of consolidation, and strategy implementation as the total data center capacity was maintained at 19.2 MW. Market conditions, power costs and the depressed digital currency market for the majority of 2019 meant that although there was an increase in capacity utilisation during 2020 a large element of the capacity remained unutilised.

5. Summary of quarterly results

The following selected financial information is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company.

==> picture [452 x 156] intentionally omitted <==

Revenue declined in the first three quarters of 2020 due to the refocus away from colocation activities into new cloud services. The increase in revenue in Q4 stems from increased revenue from cloud customers and the successful deployment of new equipment to meet their needs. Please note that the Provision of $2.39m was taken in Q4, Comprehensive Loss from continuing operations would have been ($0.45m) in the period excluding that provision.

6. Liquidity

During the year to December 31, 2020, the Company incurred a Loss before other items of ($4,201,324), (2019: Loss before other items ($4,841,628)).

Total Administration expenses before acquisition and listing expenses declined by 20% to ($3,852,974), (2019: $4,841,628) due to savings initiatives carried out by the Company across all aspects of the business.

The loss in 2020, reflects the impact of COVID-19 on expanding the customer footprint combined with the high fixed costs for running the expanded capacity of the data center, as well as the transition of the Swedish operation to a cloud focused operation and away from Colocation sales. Until these activities enable the Company to reach a sustainable level of operations, it will continue to rely on financial support from additional funding to enable it to continue its activities and to meet its liabilities as they fall due.

During the year to December 31, 2020, the Company raised $1.37m. from the existing convertible debenture holders. This money was raised in three tranches across March, June and August as outlined below in Capital Resources.

During the months September to November 2020 at seven different occasions, the Company borrowed a total of USD 837,628 from David Rowe, a significant shareholder and director of the Company. The maturity date of the principal amount, interest and any fees of the Loan is six (6) months from the date of the Initial Advance and the rate of interest is 10% per annum compounded and calculated monthly.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. Under the going concern assumption, an entity is ordinarily viewed as continuing in business for the foreseeable future with neither the intention nor the necessity of liquidation, ceasing trading or seeking protection from creditors pursuant to laws or regulations. The Company’s current business plan indicates that additional funding or income will be required within the next 12 months. The funding will be necessary to allow the business to continue to trade beyond this point. The directors have considered the business plan and potential sources of funding and have a plan in place to secure equity or other funding such that they expect to obtain sufficient funding in the coming months to enable the Company to continue as a going concern. The directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty of achieving the projected revenue and managing the cost base as forecast, as well as the timing and the quantum of future fund raisings and that this represents a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

7. Capital Resources

On December 31, 2020 the Company had no capital commitments.

In March 2020, the company entered into a secured convertible loan agreement with David Rowe, a significant shareholder and a director of the Company, and with Robert Keith, a significant shareholder of the Company. The maximum amount of the loan will be USD$1,000,000 in the aggregate, convertible at the market price of the common shares at the date of conversion, with the initial advance of USD$300,000 with exchange rate on March 31, 2020 for conversion of amounts advanced in USD to Canadian dollars. The remaining amounts of the Loan may be requested by the Company, if necessary, on or before December 31, 2021, in the same amounts as advanced by such lender under the Initial Advance. The Company will request that any amount advanced be made in Canadian dollars, however, the Company acknowledges that the lenders may make advances in either British Sterling or USD. This brought the total principal amount outstanding as of March 31, 2020 under the two convertible loan agreements to $3,826,355.

The new convertible Loan is evidenced by second ranking secured convertible promissory notes in favour of the lenders for each advance under the Loan. The maturity date of the principal amount, interest and any fees of the Loan is seven (7) years from the date of the Initial Advance and the rate of interest is 10% per annum. The interest for the initial two (2) years of the Loan shall not be payable until such time as the Loan is repaid in full.

On June 2, 2020, the company announced the drawdown of an additional USD 300,000 under the new convertible loan bringing the total principal amount outstanding under the two convertible loan agreements to $4,239,383.

On August 14, 2020, the company announced the drawdown of an additional USD 400,000 under the new convertible loan bringing the total principal amount outstanding under the two convertible loan agreements to $4,768,063 which also is the outstanding principal amount as of December 31, 2020.

10. Proposed Transactions

At yearend 2020 the Company was considering the potential sale of Hydro66 UK Ltd and substantially all its assets to Northern Data AG (XETRA: NB2), a Letter of Intent to such affect was signed on December 30, 2020. The sale was subsequently completed on March 4, 2021, and the details are below in 15. Post Balance Sheet Events.

11. Basis of Preparation and Critical Accounting Policies

These consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates which are detailed below. These accounting policies were consistently applied for all the periods presented.

Revenue

Revenue arises from the sale of data center services, including space and power; and from the provision of transaction verification services within digital currency networks. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, and represents amounts receivable for services, stated net of discounts and returns. The Company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured; when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity; and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Company's activities.

To determine whether to recognize revenue, the Group follows a 5-step process:

  1. Identifying the contract with a customer

  2. Identifying the performance obligations

  3. Determining the transaction price

  4. Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations

  5. Recognizing revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied.

The Group recognizes contract liabilities for consideration received in respect of unsatisfied performance obligations and reports these amounts as other liabilities in the statement of financial position as deferred income. Similarly, if the Group satisfies a performance obligation before it receives the consideration, the Group recognizes a receivable in its statement of financial position. During the year of 2018, the Company expanded its facility. All customers who contract for services in the expanded facility are invoiced in advance. This has resulted in deferred income being recognized at December 31, 2018.

Data Center Services

The Company recognizes revenue from the provision of data center services (sometimes referred to as colocation). The Company enters into agreements with customers who require space and power in the Company’s data center. A price for the service is determined at the point of contract. The customers physically locate servers in the Company’s data center. Customer servers are housed in racks and connected to a power supply. Revenue represents amounts invoiced for the provision of data center services, including space and power.

Transaction Verification Services within Digital Currency Networks

The Company also recognizes revenue from the provision of transaction verification services within digital currency networks. The Group enters into agreements with digital currency pools to provide transaction verification services. As consideration for these services, the Company receives digital currency from each specific network in which it participates. Management consider it appropriate to recognize revenue when a digital currency coin is received from the pool as that is the point that the economic benefit transfers to the Company and can be converted to traditional (fiat) currencies.

Revenue is measured based on the fair value of the currency received. The fair value is determined using the spot price of the currency on the date of receipt. The currency is recorded on the statement of financial position, as an intangible asset at the spot rate. Realised gains or losses, as well as gains or losses on the sale of currency for traditional (fiat) currencies are included in profit and loss. There is currently no specific definitive guidance in IFRS or alternative accounting frameworks for the accounting of digital currencies and management has exercised significant judgement in determining appropriate accounting treatment.

Intangible assets - Digital currency valuation

Digital currencies consist of cryptocurrency denominated assets such as Bitcoin and Litecoin; and are included in noncurrent assets as an intangible asset. Digital currencies are treated as intangible assets and carried at the spot rate they were earned at. The fair value is determined using the spot price of the currency on the date of receipt. Gain or loss is recognised

in the profit and loss account at the point of sale. Digital currency is not amortised as the directors consider that it has an indefinite useful life. The digital currency market is still a new market and is highly volatile; historical prices are not necessarily indicative of future value; a significant change in the market prices for digital currencies would have a significant impact on the Company’s earnings and financial position.

13. Financial Instruments and Other instruments

General Objectivesm Policies and Processes

The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Group’s competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below.

The board reviews its monthly reports through which it assesses the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets.

All funding requirements and financial risks are managed based on policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors.

The principal financial instruments used by the Group, from which financial instrument risk arises, are as follows:

  • -- Trade receivables

  • -- Cash and cash equivalents

  • -- Trade and other payables

  • -- Borrowings and convertible loan notes

Trade and other receivables are initially measured at the amount of consideration that is unconditional. The Group holds trade receivables with the objective of collecting the contractual cash flows so is subsequently measured at amortised cost. Book values and expected cash flows are reviewed by the Board and any impairment charged to the consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the relevant period.

Trade and other payables are measured at book value. The book value of financial assets and liabilities equates to their fair value.

Trade payables and accruals principally comprise amounts outstanding for trade purchases and ongoing costs.

As at December 31, 2020, the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities have contractual maturities (including interest payments where applicable) as summarized below:

December 31, 2020 Current Non-current
