EdgeMode, Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2022
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of EdgeMode, Inc. (formerly known as Fourth Wave Energy, Inc.) (“we”, “our”, or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K and the annual financial statements of EdgeMode filed with the SEC on Form 8-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for our interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2021, as reported in the Form 10-K and Form 8-K of the Company, have been omitted.
On March 20, 2020, shareholders owning a majority of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock amended the Company's Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company from Pierre Corp. to Fourth Wave Energy, Inc.
In connection with the acquisition of FWI in March 2020, the Company entered into consulting agreements with certain founders of FWI. The consulting agreements require the Company to collectively pay $379,850 in consulting fees during the terms of the consulting agreements. In March 2021 the Company agreed to sell the FWI technologies and its business plan to GeoSolar Technologies, Inc. a Colorado corporation (“GST”) in exchange for 10,000,000 shares of GST common stock (the “GST Shares”), such GST Shares distributable to the Company’s shareholders. As a part of this transaction, the consultants agreed to release the Company from any liability for any consulting fees owed to them by the Company and return a portion of the Company’s common stock held by such consultants. During the year ended December 31, 2021, shares of the Company's common stock were returned to the Company and cancelled. The technology granted to GST was carried on our balance sheet at zero value and the shares received were also recorded at no value. FWI was voluntarily dissolved on December 8, 2021. The ex-dividend date, record date and distribution date for the registered distribution of the GST Shares to the Company's shareholders, subject to FINRA clearance, is the following:
Ex-Dividend Date: 12/06/2021
Record Date: 12/07/2021
Distribution Date: 12/14/2021

Effective January 31, 2022 (the “Effective Time”), the Company, FWAV Acquisition Corp., a Wyoming corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Acquisition Subsidiary”) and EdgeMode, a Wyoming corporation (“EdgeMode Wyoming”) closed an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated December 2, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”). In accordance with the Merger Agreement, Acquisition Subsidiary merged with and into EdgeMode Wyoming (the “Merger” or “Transaction”), with EdgeMode remaining as the surviving entity after the Merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In the Merger, the shares of common stock, no par value per share, of EdgeMode Wyoming issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, represent 80% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis (or 313,950,672 shares of common stock). Furthermore, pursuant to the terms of the Merger the Company’s sole shareholder of the Company’s preferred stock converted such shares into shares of common stock.
Joseph Isaacs, the Company’s sole officer
and director resigned as an executive officer and director. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Mr. Isaacs will provide services to the
Company in a consultancy capacity at a fee of $11,500 per month and has been issued a stock option grant to purchase up to
shares of the Company’s common stock, vesting in 90 days, at an exercise price of $ per share. The consulting agreement may
be terminated by the Company without cause after three months. In addition, Mr. Isaacs received a $
Simultaneously with the Merger, approximately
$
The merger was accounted for as a reverse merger, whereby EdgeMode Wyoming was considered the accounting acquirer and became our wholly-owned subsidiary. In accordance with the accounting treatment for a “reverse merger”, the Company’s historical financial statements prior to the reverse merger has been replaced with the historical financial statements of EdgeMode Wyoming prior to the reverse merger. The financial statements after completion of the reverse merger include the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the combined company from and after the closing date of the reverse merger, with only certain aspects of pre-consummation stockholders’ equity remaining in the consolidated financial statements.
On June 3, 2022 the Company changed its name from Fourth Wave Energy Inc. to Edgemode, Inc.
NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. It is reasonably possible that changes in estimates will occur in the near term.
| 8 |
Principals of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fourth Wave Energy, Inc. and the accounts of its 100% owned subsidiary, EdgeMode. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fair Value Measurements
Generally accepted accounting principles define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price) and such principles also establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value using the following definitions (from highest to lowest priority):
| · | Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. |
| · | Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
| · | Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques requiring inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
The Company has no assets or liabilities valued using level 1, level 2, or level 3 inputs as of June 30, 2022.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This standard provides a single comprehensive model to be used in the accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The standard’s stated core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, ASC 606 includes provisions within a five-step model that includes identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when, or as, an entity satisfies a performance obligation.
| 9 |
The Company has entered into digital asset mining pools by executing contracts, as amended from time to time, with the mining pool operators to provide computing power to the mining pool. The contracts are terminable at any time by either party and the Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when the Company provides computing power to the mining pool operator. In exchange for providing computing power, the Company is entitled to a fractional share of the fixed cryptocurrency award the mining pool operator receives (less digital asset transaction fees to the mining pool operator which are recorded as a component of cost of revenues), for successfully adding a block to the blockchain. The terms of the agreement provides that neither party can dispute settlement terms after thirty-five days following settlement. The Company’s fractional share is based on the proportion of computing power the Company contributed to the mining pool operator to the total computing power contributed by all mining pool participants in solving the current algorithm.
Providing computing power in digital asset transaction verification services is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The provision of providing such computing power is the only performance obligation in the Company’s contracts with mining pool operators. The transaction consideration the Company receives, if any, is noncash consideration, which the Company measures at fair value on the date received, which is not materially different than the fair value at contract inception or the time the Company has earned the award from the pools. The consideration is all variable. Because it is not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur, the consideration is constrained until the mining pool operator successfully places a block (by being the first to solve an algorithm) and the Company receives confirmation of the consideration it will receive, at which time revenue is recognized. There is no significant financing component in these transactions.
Fair value of the cryptocurrency award received is determined using the closing price of the related cryptocurrency on the day of receipt. There is currently no specific definitive guidance under GAAP or alternative accounting framework for the accounting for cryptocurrencies recognized as revenue or held, and management has exercised significant judgment in determining the appropriate accounting treatment. In the event authoritative guidance is enacted by the FASB, the Company may be required to change its policies, which could have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results from operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not believe that any recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 3 – Going Concern
These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The Company began operations in 2020 and incurred a cumulative loss since inception. The Company’s ability to continue is dependent upon management’s plan to raise additional funds and achieve profitable operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is not able to continue as a going concern.
| 10 |
NOTE 4 – Reverse Merger Transaction
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, and in exchange for all 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of EdgeMode Wyoming, the shareholders of EdgeMode received an aggregate of 313,950,672 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company.
Prior to the Merger, EdgeMode Wyoming was authorized to issue 300,000 shares of preferred stock with no par value per share, of which 261,438 were designated as Series Seed Preferred Stock (“Series Seed Preferred”). Immediately prior to the Merger, the holders of the Series Seed Preferred stock converted the shares into 261,438 shares of EdgeMode Wyoming common stock.
As a result of the Reverse Merger, the Company has acquired the following assets and liabilities which were recorded at the pre-combination carrying basis. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are as follows:
| January 31, 2022 | ||||
| Cash | $ | |||

NOTE 7 – Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. When retired or otherwise disposed, the carrying value and accumulated depreciation of the fixed asset is removed from its respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings.

Preferred Shares
We are authorized to issue shares of preferred stock. Shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series as may be determined by our Board. The voting powers and preferences, the relative rights of each such series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of each series will be established by the Board. Our directors may issue preferred stock with multiple votes per share and dividend rights which would have priority over any dividends paid with respect to the holders of our common stock. In connection with the Transaction, the only outstanding preferred stock was converted into common stock. As of the date of this report, there are no outstanding shares of preferred stock.
On March 26, 2020, the Company designated 1,000 shares of its original 5,000,000 authorized shares of Preferred Stock as Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A”) with a $0.001 par value. Each Series A Preferred share entitles the holder to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders or with respect to actions that may be taken by written consent. The 1,000 shares of Series A shares have the voting power of 250% of the outstanding common shares at the time of any vote. The holders of the Series A shares are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available, annual dividends payable in cash on the 31st day of December in each year, commencing on December 31, 2020 at the rate of $0.10 per share per year. As part of the recapitalization, the 1,000 shares were converted into common shares.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains “forward-looking statements”, as such term is used within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, among other things, statements regarding expanding our business and our liquidity as well as other statements regarding our future operations, financial condition and prospects, and business strategies. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by words such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "predicts," "projects," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause our actual results to differ materially and adversely from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, our ability to raise capital to buy the machines we have commitments to purchase and those discussed under the caption "Risk Factors" in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and those discussed in other documents we file with the SEC.

Business Overview
We are an early-stage cryptocurrency mining Company. Although Edgemode, our new wholly-owned subsidiary, has historically mined Ethereum, we are now focused on expanding the operations by mining Bitcoin which we anticipate to begin in the second half of 2022. Due to the imminent change of Ethereum (ETH) from Proof of Work (POW) to Proof of stake (POS), the Company has terminated all rental agreements and future purchase orders related to Ethereum mining operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We discuss the material accounting policies that are critical in making the estimates and judgments in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates”. There has been no material change in critical accounting policies or estimates during the period covered by this report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021
Our revenues for the 2022 Quarter was $165,118 compared to $500,692 for the 2021 Quarter. The reason for the decrease was the decline in the price of Ethereum during the 2022 Quarter compared to prices during the 2021 Quarter. Also the Company experienced power outages at our data center in Rouses Point. As we have terminated our rental agreements as referenced above, we do not anticipate power outages in the future materially effecting our operations.
Our cost of revenues for the 2022 Quarter was $382,908 compared to $401,629 for the 2021 Quarter. The reason for the decrease was a decrease in hosting fees incurred as a result of the power outages and lower revenues.
Our operating expenses for the 2022 Quarter was $2,874,473 compared to $218,942 for the 2021 Quarter. In the 2022 Quarter, the Company incurred stock-based compensation expense of $1,878,264 compared to $0 for the 2021 Quarter. In addition, the company began initial operations in 2021 versus having full operations during 2022.
Our other expenses for the 2022 Quarter was $109,363 compared to $148,065 for the 2021 Quarter. The reason for the decrease was a decrease in interest expense from additional loans as well as a decreased loss on cryptocurrencies due to decreased transactions and changes in market prices.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021
Our revenues for the 2022 Period was $436,237 compared to $569,068 for the 2021 Period. The reason for the decrease was the decline in the price of Ethereum during the 2022 Period compared to prices during the 2021 Period, in addition to the power outages at our data center in disclosed above.
Our cost of revenues for the 2022 Period was $806,678 compared to $479,110 for the 2021 Period. The primary reason for the increase was the Company began operations in March of 2021 versus having a full six months of operations for the 2022 Year.
Our operating expenses for the 2022 Period was $26,836,972 compared to $304,944 for the 2021 Period. In the 2022 Period, the Company incurred stock-based compensation expense of $24,264,181 compared to $6,750 for the 2021 Period. In addition, the Company began operations in March of 2021 for initial operations versus having a full six months of operations for the 2022 Period.
Our other expenses for the 2022 Period was $237,740 compared to $160,696 for the 2021 Period. The reason for the increase was an increase in interest expense from additional loans as well as an increased loss on cryptocurrencies due to increased transactions and changes in market prices.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of August 22, 2022, the Company had approximately $7,000 of cash. Our liquidity is primarily derived from selling the crypto that we mine, and debt and equity investments from accredited investors. To grow the business and help fund operations for the next 12 months, the Company is seeking to raise $60 million in equity capital through private placements. The Company has signed a non-binding term sheet for a $400 million debt facility. We can provide no assurances that any such financings will be completed or successful, nor will they be on terms that we can agree on.
| 19 |
The Company has signed $66 million in hardware purchase orders. Assuming we close on the $400 million debt facility, the debt facility will be used in order to make payments on these purchase orders. There are no assurances the purchase will be completed.
If we fail to raise sufficient additional funds, we will be required to suspend or cease our operations.
The Company has terminated the agreements for approximately $2.2 million of debt for equipment that the Company was using for mining and is negotiating the return of the equipment to the vendor to settle the outstanding liabilities. Additionally, we have a significant amount funds committed to the purchase of new Bitcoin miners. We can provide no assurance that we will have the ability to meet these payment requirements or that we will be successful raising capital to meet our working capital requirements.

| ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Not applicable.
| ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We are required to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting for the following reasons:
| · | Due to our small number of employees and limited resources, we have limited segregation of duties, as a result of which there is insufficient independent review of duties performed. |
| · | As a result of a lack of qualified accounting personnel, we rely on outside consultants for the preparation of our financial reports, including financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis, which could lead to overlooking items requiring disclosure. |
| · | Difficulty applying complex accounting principles. |
These material weaknesses resulted in our management failing to give effect to options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2022, to purchase an aggregate of 65,920,895 shares of our common stock issued to our executive officers and a consultant in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2022 (the “First Quarter Report”) which was determined by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in connection with the preparation of this report, resulting in an approximately $17.8M understatement in operating expenses and in common stock and additional paid-in capital for the period ended March 31, 2022. As such the Company restated its unaudited financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 which were included in an amendment to the First Quarter Report. We will continue to monitor our internal control over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow. We do not, however, expect that the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls will be remediated until such time as we have added additional personnel, including additional accounting and administrative staff, allowing improved internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
