Background
C2 Blockchain, Inc., a Nevada corporation was incorporated
on June 30, 2021 under the laws of the state of Nevada.
On March 28, 2022, the Company entered into a “Agreement
and Plan of Merger”, whereas it agreed to, and subsequently participated in, a Nevada holding company reorganization pursuant to
NRS 92A.180, NRS 92A.200, NRS 92A.230 and NRS 92A.250 (“Reorganization”). There was no shareholder vote required and there
was no shareholder meeting. The constituent corporations in the Reorganization were American Estate Management Company, (“AEMC”
or “Predecessor”), C2 Blockchain, Inc. (“CBLO” or“Successor”), and AEMC Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger
Sub”). Our director, Levi Jacobson was, the sole director/officer of each constituent corporation in the Reorganization.
Pursuant
to the reorganization, the Company issued 1,000 common shares of its common stock to Predecessor and Merger Sub issued 1,000 shares of
its common stock to the Company immediately prior to the Reorganization. Immediately prior to the merger, the Company was a wholly owned
direct subsidiary of AEMC and Merger Sub was a wholly owned and direct subsidiary of the Company. The legal effective date of the Reorganization
was April 1, 2022 (the “Effective Time”). At the Effective Time, Predecessor was merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger),
and Predecessor was the surviving corporation. Each share of Predecessor common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time was converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of CBLO common stock.
At
the Effective Time, CBLO as successor issuer to AEMC continued to trade in the OTC MarketPlace under the previous ticker symbol of “AEMC”
until a new ticker symbol "CBLO” for the Company was released into the OTC MarketPlace on May 20, 2022. The market
effective date of the corporate action was May 23, 2022. The Company was given a CUSIP Number by CUSIP Global Services for its common
stock of 12675R109.
On
April 1, 2022, immediately after the completion of the Reorganization, we cancelled all of the stock held in AEMC resulting in AEMC as
a stand-alone company.
Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Markets Group Inc.’s
Pink® Open Market under the ticker symbol “CBLO”.
The Company believes that the Reorganization, was not
a transaction of the type described in subparagraph (a) of Rule 145 under the Securities Act of 1933 and the consummation of the Reorganization
will not be deemed to involve an “offer”, “offer to sell”, “offer for sale” or “sale”
within the meaning of Section 2(3) of the Securities Act of 1933. The Reorganization was consummated without the vote or consent of the
Company’s stockholders. In addition, the provisions of NRS 92A.180 did not provide a stockholder of the Company with appraisal rights
in connection with the Reorganization. The Company believes that in the absence of any right of any of the Company’s stockholders
to vote with respect to the Reorganization or to insist that their shares be purchased for fair value, the Reorganization could not be
deemed to involve an “offer” “offer to sell”; or “sale” within the meaning of Section 2(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933.
Currently, Mendel Holdings LLC, a Delaware Limited
Liability company solely owned and controlled by Levi Jacobson, our sole officer and director is our controlling shareholder, owning 200,000,000
shares of our restricted common stock representing approximately 78.760% voting control.
Company Information
On June 30, 2021, Levi Jacobson was appointed
President, Secretary, Treasurer and director of CBLO.
The Company’s business plan is to concentrate
on cryptocurrency mining, primarily Bitcoins, for our own account. We have not commenced our planned principal operations.
Business
Description:
We plan to mine for Bitcoin in Atlanta, Georgia. Atlanta
has abundant access to low-cost electricity and suitable environmental conditions for cooling mining equipment. The facility will be
custom designed with proper ventilation and cooling systems to ensure optimal performance and longevity of mining hardware. The facility
will be connected to the local power grid as its primary source of electricity. While grid power might be more expensive compared to
renewable sources like hydroelectric or solar power, it offers stability and constant availability, reducing the risk of interruptions
in mining operations.
We plan to utilize the latest generation of ASIC (Application-
Specific Integrated Circuit) miners, specifically the S19 XP model. These miners are highly specialized and designed to efficiently mine
cryptocurrencies that use the SHA-256 algorithm, such as Bitcoin. The mining operation will be designed with scalability in mind. As
the operation grows and more funds become available, additional mining hardware can be purchased and integrated into the existing setup.
The facility will be built to accommodate future expansions efficiently.
The energy consumption of ASIC S19 XP miners varies depending
on their efficiency and the power settings used. Each individual S19 XP miner typically consumes around 3010 Watts of electricity when
running at maximum capacity. To calculate the total energy consumption for our mining operation, we consider the number of miners and
their total power consumption. For example, To calculate the energy consumption of ten ASIC S19 XP miners at the industrial electric
rate, in the state of Georgia, of approximately $0.06 per kilowatt-hour (kWh),1 we look at the following.
The power consumption of a single ASIC S19 XP miner is approximately
3010 Watts (3.010 kW).
Total power consumption = Number of miners * Power consumption
per miner
Total power consumption = 10 miners * 3.010 kW per miner
Total power consumption = 30.10 kW
Converting the total power consumption from kilowatts (kW)
to kilowatt-hours (kWh) to find the total energy usage over time.
Assuming the miners run for 24 hours a day:
Total energy consumption in kWh = Total power consumption
in kW * Hours of operation
Total energy consumption in kWh of a single ASIC S19 XP
miner = 3.010 kW * 24 hours Total energy consumption in kWh = 72.24 kWh
The total cost per day to run one ASIC S19 XP miner = 72.24
kWh * $.06/kWh = $4.3344
The total energy consumption of ten ASIC S19 XP miners at
an electric rate of $0.06 per kWh is approximately 722.4 kilowatt-hours. To calculate the total cost, we multiply the total energy consumption
by the electric rate:
Total cost per day = Total energy consumption in kWh * Electric
rate Total cost = 722.4 kWh * $0.06/kWh
Total cost per day to run ten ASIC S19 XP miners = $43.34
Total cost per month to run ten ASIC S19 XP miners is $186.36.
Time
Frames:
At an approximate BTC price of $41,000, electricity
price of $0.06 kWh, hash rate of 140 TH/s, each Antminer S19 XP generates about $6.08 in earnings per day, $312.35 earnings per month
or $2,218.24 in earnings per year. Estimated time line for return on investment for each Antminer S19 XP or breakeven point is approximately
3.16 years For further discussion on break even and bitcoin mining analysis, see our disclosure on Page 20 of the Offering Circular
and our Risk Factors, Page 6.
We
plan to purchase at least 10 mining machines and estimate that we will require two hundred thousand dollars to commence operations. We
plan to utilize such net proceeds to purchase ASIC S19 XP miners and to obtain all necessary permits and licenses from local authorities
in Atlanta, Georgia. Depending on our capital raise, we will make a determination of how many mining machines to purchase.
First:
Site Selection: We need to identify a suitable location in Atlanta, Georgia where we plan to conduct our mining operation. We have not
identified any suitable locations at this time and have had no negotiations.
Second:
Obtain all necessary permits and licenses from local authorities to ensure legal operation.
Third:
Develop a detailed plan for the layout, power distribution, cooling systems, and security measures of the mining facility.
Fourth:
Purchase specialized mining hardware (ASIC) and related components for efficient cryptocurrency mining.
Fifth:
Build the physical infrastructure according to the facility design, including installing electrical systems and cooling solutions.
Sixth:
Testing and Optimization: Conduct thorough testing and fine-tuning to ensure our mining facility's efficiency and stability.
Seventh:
Recruit and train staff to manage and maintain the mining equipment.
Eighth:
We estimate that it will take a least six months to a year to complete all the steps mentioned above.
Ninth:
The costs for building a cryptocurrency mining facility can be substantial. It will need to include expenses for land acquisition, construction
materials, mining hardware, electrical infrastructure, cooling systems, regulatory compliance, and labor costs.
The principal address of the Company is
123 SE 3rd Avenue, #130, Miami, Florida 33131. Our phone number is 888-437-3432.
The Company has elected June 30th as its
fiscal year end.
We have no employees.
Intellectual Property
We have
no intellectual property, patents, patent applications or trade secrets.

The Company is electing to not opt out of JOBS Act extended accounting
transition period. This may make its financial statements more difficult to compare to other companies.
Pursuant to the JOBS Act of 2012, as an emerging growth company the
Company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period for any new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by the PCAOB
or the SEC. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised
and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the standard
for the private company. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with any other public company which is not
either an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult
or impossible as possible different or revised standards may be used.
Emerging Growth Company
The recently enacted JOBS Act is intended to reduce the regulatory burden
on emerging growth companies. The Company meets the definition of an emerging growth company and so long as it qualifies as an “emerging
growth company,” it will, among other things:
|
|
· |
be temporarily exempted from the internal control audit requirements Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; |
|
|
· |
be temporarily exempted from various existing and forthcoming executive compensation-related disclosures, for example: “say-on-pay”, “pay-for-performance”, and “CEO pay ratio”; |
|
|
· |
be temporarily exempted from any rules that might be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or supplemental auditor discussion and analysis reporting; |
|
|
· |
be temporarily exempted from having to solicit advisory say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and say-on-golden-parachute shareholder votes on executive compensation under Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; |
|
|
· |
be permitted to comply with the SEC’s detailed executive compensation disclosure requirements on the same basis as a smaller reporting company; and, |
|
|
· |
be permitted to adopt any new or revised accounting standards using the same timeframe as private companies (if the standard applies to private companies). |
Our company will continue to be an emerging growth company until the earliest
of:
|
|
· |
the last day of the fiscal year during which we have annual total gross revenues of $1,070,000,000 or more; |
|
|
· |
the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the first sale of our common equity securities in an offering registered under the Securities Act; |
|
|
· |
the date on which we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities during a previous three-year period; or |
|
|
· |
the date on which we become a large accelerated filer, which generally is a company with a public float of at least $700 million (Exchange Act Rule 12b-2). |

RISK FACTORS
Please consider the following risk factors and other information in this
offering circular relating to our business before deciding to invest in our common stock. Many of the following risk factors are stated
in the context that we are operating when in fact we are not.
This offering and any investment in our common stock involves a high degree
of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and all of the information contained in this offering circular before
deciding whether to purchase our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results
of operations could be harmed. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or
part of your investment.
We consider the following to be the material risks for an investor regarding
this offering. Our company should be viewed as a high-risk investment and speculative in nature. An investment in our common stock may
result in a complete loss of the invested amount.
An investment in our common stock is highly speculative,
and should only be made by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment in us. You should carefully consider the following risk
factors and other information in this report before deciding to become a holder of our common stock. If any of the following risks actually
occur, our business and financial results could be negatively affected to a significant extent.
Risks Relating to Our Business, Securities, Operations,
Industry and Financial Condition
Coronavirus Impact.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused, and is likely to
continue to cause, severe economic, market and other disruptions worldwide. We cannot assure you that conditions in the bank lending,
capital and other financial markets will not continue to deteriorate as a result of the pandemic, or that our access to capital and other
sources of funding will not become constrained, which could adversely affect the availability and terms of future borrowings. In addition,
the deterioration of global economic conditions as a result of the pandemic may ultimately decrease the availability of computers and
other hardware that we need to begin our mining operation.
The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on our operational
and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and intensity of the outbreak, all of which
are uncertain and difficult to predict. Due to the speed with which the situation is developing, we are not able at this time to estimate
the effect of these factors on our business, but the adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash
flows could be material.
Our common stock may be deemed a “penny
stock,” which would make it more difficult for our investors to sell their shares.
Our common stock is currently
subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules generally apply
to companies whose common stock is not listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market or another national securities exchange and trades at less than
$4.00 per share, other than companies that have had average revenues of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years or that have tangible
net worth of at least $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other
things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make
suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk
disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of
the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in these securities
is limited. If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if
any, for our securities. If our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our
securities.
Holding Company Reorganization.
The Company believes that the Reorganization,
deemed effective on April 1, 2022, was not a transaction of the type described in subparagraph (a) of Rule 145 under the Securities Act
of 1933 and the consummation of the Reorganization will not be deemed to involve an “offer”, “offer to sell”,
“offer for sale” or “sale” within the meaning of Section 2(3) of the Securities Act of 1933. The Reorganization
was consummated without the vote or consent of the Company’s stockholders. However, If the Company’s beliefs are later determined
to be incorrect whereas the Company may have been required to register the transaction under Section 5 of the Securities Act, shareholders
as a result may have a right of rescission under Section 12(a)(1) of the Securities Act. Those
consequences may have a substantive impact on our liquidity now or at any future time. The SEC could initiate proceedings against
the Company and any person that sold securities in violation of Section 5 of the 1933 Securities Act. Section 5 of the Securities Act
of 1933 prohibits the sale or delivery of unregistered securities unless a registration statement is in effect as to a security. Section
5 makes it unlawful for any person, directly or indirectly to sell such security through the use of a prospectus or to use any means for
the purpose of sale or for delivery of a sale.
Our lack of an operating history makes evaluating our business
and future prospects difficult, and may increase the risk of your investment.
We have no operating history and no revenue. We may never raise enough
cash to execute our business plan. Therefore, you could lose your entire investment in the Company.
The time
frame to breakeven on the cost of one ASIC S19 XP mining machine is approximately 3.16 years based on approximate BTC market price
of $41,000.
At an approximate BTC price of $41,000, electricity
price of $0.06 kWh, hash rate of 140 TH/s, each Antminer S19 XP generates about $6.08 in earnings per day, $312.35 earnings per
month or $2,218.24 in earnings per year. Estimated time line for return on investment for each Antminer S19 XP or breakeven point is
approximately 3.16 years. Our assumptions in our breakeven analysis on page 20 may turn out to be inaccurate because the price of
bitcoin and network hash rate are dynamic and not static as our snapshot and subject to significant swings. The result may be that we never make a return on our investment. Therefore, you could lose your entire investment
in the Company.

Our auditor has issued a “going concern”
opinion.
Our auditor has issued a “going concern”
opinion on our financial statements, which means that the auditor is not sure if we will be able to succeed as a business without additional
financing.
To date, we do not operate and have not generated
revenues from our anticipated principal operations and have sustained losses since inception. Losses will continue until such time that
we can open our mining facility and begin mining for Bitcoin and earn revenue for completing the block transactions.
These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
Throughout 2023, we intend to fund our operations
through the sale of our securities to third parties and related parties. If we cannot raise additional capital, we may consume all the
cash reserved for operations. There are no assurances that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to us. If we are
unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned operations, which could
harm our business, financial condition and operating results. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result
from these uncertainties.
If we cannot raise sufficient funds, we
will not succeed or will require significant additional capital infusions.
We are offering Common Stock in the amount of up to
$60,000,000 in this offering, but may sell much less. Even if the maximum amount is raised, we may need additional funds in the future
in order to grow, and if we cannot raise those funds for whatever reason, including reasons outside our control, such as another significant
downturn in the economy, we may not survive. If we do not sell all of the Common Stock we are offering, we will have to find other sources
of funding in order to develop our business.
Even if we are successful in selling all of the Common
Stock being offered, our proposed business may require significant additional capital infusions, before we can achieve profitability.
Furthermore, in order to expand, we are likely to raise funds again in the future, either by offerings of securities or through borrowing
from banks or other sources. The terms of future capital infusions may include covenants that give creditors rights over our financial
resources or sales of equity securities that will dilute the holders of our Common Stock.
This Offering is being conducted on a “best
efforts” basis and does not require a minimum amount to be raised. As a result, we may not be able to raise enough funds to fully
implement our business plan and our investors may lose their entire investment.
The Offering is on a “best efforts” basis
and does not require a minimum amount to be raised. If we are not able to raise sufficient funds, we may not be able to fund our operations
as planned, and our growth opportunities may be materially adversely affected. This could increase the likelihood that an investor may
lose their entire investment.
We have no operating history. We have no revenue and no cash which
makes it difficult to accurately evaluate our business prospects.
We have limited assets, no operating history, and
no operating revenue to date. We have no experience mining bitcoin or any other digital asset. Thus, our proposed business is subject
to all the risks inherent in a new business venture with inexperienced officers/directors.
-7-
Terms of subsequent financings may adversely
impact your investment.
We may need to engage in common equity, debt, or preferred
stock financing in the future. Interest on debt securities could increase costs and negatively impact operating results. Preferred stock
could be issued in series from time to time with such designations, rights, preferences, and limitations as needed to raise capital. The
terms of preferred stock could be more advantageous to those investors than to the holders of Common Stock. In addition, if we need to
raise more equity capital from the sale of Common Stock, institutional or other investors may negotiate terms at least as, and possibly
more, favorable than the terms of your investment. Shares of Common Stock which we sell could be sold into any market which develops,
which could adversely affect the market price.
Risks of borrowing.
We may have to seek loans from financial institutions.
Typical loan agreements might contain restrictive covenants which may impair our operating flexibility. A default under any loan agreement
could result in a charging order that would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
We depend on our sole director who has
no experience in the cryptocurrency mining business.
Our future success depends on our sole director, Mr.
Levi Jacobson. Mr. Jacobson has no experience in the cryptocurrency mining business. His inexperience or the loss of his services may
have a serious adverse effect on us and you could lose your entire investment. Mr. Jacobson does not work
exclusively for us, and will divide his time with his other business activities that consume 20 hours per week.
Management Discretion as to Use of Proceeds.
Our success will be substantially dependent upon the
discretion and judgment of our management team with respect to the application and allocation of the proceeds of this Offering. The use
of proceeds described below is an estimate based on our current business plan. We, however, may find it necessary or advisable to re-allocate
portions of the net proceeds reserved for one category to another, and we will have broad discretion in doing so.
Limited Liquidity.
Our common stock is quoted and thinly traded in OTC
Markets Group’s platform known as the Pink Market tier under the ticker symbol CBLO. Investors should assume that they may not be
able to liquidate their investment for a long time.

The
cryptocurrency industry in which we plan to operate is characterized by constant changes. If we fail to continuously update our technology
to mine cryptocurrency, we may not be able to solve the required computational problems of increasing complexity that allows us to make
money.
The cryptocurrency industry
in which we plan to operate is characterized by constant changes, including rapid technological evolution, continual shifts in customer
demands, frequent introductions of new products and solutions and constant emergence of new industry standards and practices. Thus, our
success will depend, in part, on our ability to respond to these changes in a cost-effective and timely manner. Advances in Bitcoin mining-related
technology have led to increased demand for higher speed and power efficiency for solving computational problems of increasing complexity.
We may need to frequently invest in new mining hardware/machines often to stay competitive in the market. Otherwise, we may become obsolete
and thus our financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.
Our results of operations
are expected to be significantly impacted by Bitcoin’s price fluctuation.
Our
ability to generate economic benefits (i.e., positive cash flow or profits) from Bitcoin mining is directly affected by the market
price of Bitcoin. The Bitcoin price may impact the rewards we get from our mining machines. When the market price of a Bitcoin drops below
certain thresholds, the anticipated operation of existing mining machines may not be economically beneficial for us. Any future significant
reductions in the price of Bitcoin will likely have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
The
supply of Bitcoins available for mining is limited and we may not be able to quickly adapt to new businesses when all the Bitcoins have
been mined.
There
is a limited supply of bitcoins that can ever exist with a total cap of 21 million with “halving” mechanism. Currently, around
19 million Bitcoins have been mined as of September 28, 2023 and are in circulation, leaving approximately 2 million left to be
mined. It's estimated that all bitcoins will be mined by the year 2140, at which point the last block reward will be released2.
The number of blocks that can be
solved in a year is designed to be fixed, and the number of Bitcoins awarded for solving a block in the blockchain halves approximately
every four years until the estimated complete depletion of Bitcoin available for mining by around 2140. When the Bitcoin network
was first launched, the reward for validating a new block was 50 Bitcoins. In November 2012, the reward for validating a new block
was reduced to 25 Bitcoins. In July 2016, the reward for validating a new block was reduced to 12.5 Bitcoins, and in May 2020,
the reward was further reduced to 6.25 Bitcoins. The next halving for Bitcoin is expected in 2024 at block 840,000, when the reward will
reduce to 3.125 Bitcoins. While the remaining Bitcoins are not designed to be entirely depleted in the near future, a decrease in the
reward for solving a block or an increase in the transaction fees may result in a decrease in incentives for miners to continue their
mining activities and the loss of Bitcoin’s dominant position among the cryptocurrencies, thereby reducing the demand for Bitcoin
mining related services of CBLO. We may not be able to quickly adapt to new businesses or expand to other cryptocurrencies when all the
Bitcoins have been discovered or Bitcoin is replaced by other cryptocurrencies as the mainstream cryptocurrency, which will result in
a significant negative impact on our business and results of operations.
The halving will have the impact of cutting miners’
bitcoin compensation per block reward in half. We expect that will cause many less efficient miners to shut off their miners unless the
price of bitcoin significantly appreciates before then. The impact on us is difficult to assess. Certainly, without a corresponding increase
in the price of bitcoin, our revenue will be impacted negatively. If the price of bitcoin and the network hashrate remain flat, our corresponding
revenue would be cut in half subsequent to the halving. Management’s expectation is that there will be a drop in hashrate as less
efficient miners shut down, consequently reducing competition. We also anticipate that the price of bitcoin will appreciate post the
halving as it has in the past two halvings. However, how these two factors play out is difficult to forecast. Management is actively
seeking ways to mitigate these industry specific factors including keeping operations lean and optimizing its hardware and electricity
consumption.
Mining Difficulty and Hashrate: The Bitcoin network adjusts
its mining difficulty approximately every two weeks to ensure that blocks are mined, on average, every 10 minutes. This adjustment is
based on the total computational power (hashrate) of the network. If the network's hashrate increases, the mining difficulty adjusts
upwards to make solving the cryptographic puzzles more challenging. Conversely, if the hashrate decreases, the difficulty adjusts downwards
to maintain the 10-minute block time.
Efficiency of Mining Hardware: Mining operations use various
hardware, with different levels of efficiency. Newer ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) miners are typically more efficient
and powerful than older models. Miners operating less efficient hardware may struggle to remain profitable, especially when competing
with miners using more advanced and energy- efficient equipment.
Impact on Mining Difficulty: A drop in hashrate due to
less efficient miners shutting down results in a lower total computational power on the network. As a consequence, the mining difficulty
adjusts downward during the regular difficulty adjustment period, making it easier for remaining miners to solve blocks.
Our crypto mining business
will be capital intensive. We may need additional capital but may not be able to obtain it in a timely manner and on favorable terms
or at all.
The costs of constructing,
developing, operating and maintaining cryptocurrency mining facilities, and owning and operating the latest generation mining equipment
are substantial. Our anticipated operations may require additional capital or financing from time to time in order to achieve growth.
We may require additional cash resources due to the future growth and development of our business. Our future capital requirements may
be substantial as we seek to expand operations, and pursue acquisitions and equity investments. Our cash resources are insufficient to
satisfy our cash requirements, and therefore we may seek to issue additional equity or debt securities or obtain new or expanded credit
facilities.
Our ability to obtain external
financing in the future may be subject to a variety of uncertainties, including our future financial condition, results of operations,
cash flows and the liquidity of capital and lending markets. Our proprietary mining business is nevertheless capital intensive. We may
need additional capital if Bitcoin price increases as it will likely push up prices for supplies required for its proprietary mining
business. However, in light of conditions impacting the industry, it may be more difficult for us to obtain equity or debt financing
currently and/or in the future. Specifically, the crypto assets industry has been negatively impacted by recent events such as the bankruptcies
of Compute North, Core Scientific, Alameda Research LLC, BlockFi, Celsius Network, Voyager Digital, Three Arrows and FTX. In response
to these events, the digital asset markets, including the market for Bitcoin specifically, have experienced extreme price volatility
and several other entities in the digital asset industry have been, and may continue to be, negatively affected, further undermining
confidence in the digital assets markets and in Bitcoin. Any indebtedness that we may incur in the future may also contain operating
and financial covenants that could further restrict operations. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in a timely
manner or in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all. A large amount of debt borrowings may result in a significant increase
in interest expense while at the same time exposing us to increased interest rate risks. Equity financings could result in dilution to
our shareholders, and the securities issued in future financings may have rights, preferences and privileges that are senior to those
of our common shares. Any failure to raise needed funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could severely restrict our liquidity as
well as have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may
not be able to compete as cryptocurrency networks experience increases in the total network hash rate.
As the relative market price
of a cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin, increases, more companies are encouraged to mine for that cryptocurrency and as more mining machines
are added to the network, its total hash rate increases. In order for us to have a competitive position under such circumstances, we
must increase our hash rate by acquiring and deploying more mining machines, including new mining machines with higher hash rates. There
are currently only a few companies capable of producing a sufficient number of machines with adequate quality to address the increased
demand. If we are not able to acquire and deploy additional mining machines on a timely basis, our proportion of the overall network
hash rate will decrease and we will have a lower chance of solving new blocks which will have an adverse effect on our business and results
of operations. We may experience in the future hash rate loss during our operations
due to factors beyond our control. We plan to generate hash rate through operating our proprietary mining datacenters. To efficiently
increase managing hash rate (i.e., proprietary hash rate), our efforts may include constructing and expanding mining datacenters in prime
locations globally, purchasing the latest mining machine models and continually optimizing operational efficiency of our mining machines.
However, hash rate generation is affected by factors beyond our control, including temperature, humidity, mining machine quality, the
depreciation and deterioration of mining machines, the location of our mining machines, spare parts supply quality, quantity and timeliness,
sudden surge in power price or sudden power outage, maintenance team members lack of experience, unseen computer virus attack, etc. In
the future, we expect the risks of hash rate loss will remain, which may affect our business and results of operations.
We are subject
to risks associated with our need for significant electric power and the limited availability of power resources, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business requires a significant
amount of electric power. The costs of electric power will account for a significant portion of our cost of revenue. We require a significant
electric power supply to conduct our anticipated mining activity, such as powering and cooling our servers and network equipment and operating
critical mining infrastructure.
There has been a substantial
increase in the demand for electricity for cryptocurrency mining, and this has had varying impacts on local electricity supply. We plan
on using renewable sources of power in the future. Renewable power is generally an intermittent and variable source of electricity, which
may not always be available. Because the electrical grid has very little storage capacity, the balance between electricity supply and
demand must be maintained at all times to avoid a blackout or other cascading problem. Intermittent sources of renewable power are challenging
because they disrupt the conventional methods for planning the daily operation of the electrical grid. Their power fluctuates over multiple
time horizons, forcing the grid operator to adjust its day-ahead, hour-ahead, and real-time operating procedures.
The amount of power required
by us will increase commensurately with the increase in mining machines that we plan to operate for ourselves. Should our operations require
more electricity than can be supplied in the area where we plan to build our mining facilities or should the electrical transmission grid
and distribution systems be unable to provide the continuous, steady supply of electricity required, we may have to limit or suspend activities
or reduce the speed of any proposed expansion, either voluntarily or as a result of either quotas imposed by energy companies or governments,
or increased prices for certain users (such as us). If we are unable to procure electricity at a suitable price, we may have to shut down
our operations in that particular jurisdiction either temporarily or permanently. Therefore, increased power costs and limited availability
and curtailment of power resources will reduce our revenue and have a material and adverse effect on our cost of revenue and results of
operations. Although we aim to build and operate energy efficient facilities, there can be no assurance such facilities will be able to
deliver sufficient power to meet anticipated growing needs of our business. If we are unable to receive adequate power supply and forced
to reduce our operations due to the availability or cost of electrical power, our business would experience materially negative impacts.
Certain government regulators
have begun to intervene with the supply of electrical energy to cryptocurrency miners. Governments or government regulators may potentially
restrict electricity suppliers from providing electricity to mining datacenters in times of electricity shortage or may otherwise potentially
restrict or prohibit the provision of electricity to businesses like us. In the event government regulators issue moratoriums or impose
bans or restrictions involving transaction processing in jurisdictions in which it operates, we will not be able to continue our operations
in such jurisdictions. A moratorium ban or restriction could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations.
Additionally, our cryptocurrency
mining machines would be materially adversely affected by a power outage. Energy costs and availability are vulnerable to risks of outages
and power grid damage as a result of inclement weather, animal incursion, sabotage and other events out of our control. Because of our
mining business consumes a large amount of energy, it is not practical or economical for our operations to run on back-up generators in
the event of a power outage, which may be caused by weather, acts of God, wild fires, pandemics, falling trees, falling distribution poles
and transmission towers, transmission and distribution cable cuts, other force majeure events in the electricity and natural gas markets
and/or the negligence or malfeasance of others. Any system downtime resulting from insufficient power resources or power outages could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

There
are uncertainties over the outcome of our anticipated mining operations.
Our anticipated cryptocurrency
mining operation comprises blockchain mining technologies that depend on a network of computers to run certain software programs to solve
complex transactions in competition with other mining operations and to process transactions. Because of this less centralized model
and the complexity of our anticipated mining operation, there are uncertainties over the likelihood of winning a block reward and hence
the outcome of our mining operations. While we plan to participate in mining pools to combine our mining operations with other mining
participants to increase processing power to solve blocks, there can be no assurance that such pools will adequately address this risk.
A crypto mining pool is a group of miners that work collectively
to generate new blocks. They achieve this by contributing computing power and sharing rewards in proportion to their contribution. The
pool is made up of several bodies, such as pool managers. The manager is tasked with managing mining-related activities-recording work
done by each miner, assigning reward shares, and managing hashes. In return for their labor, miners must pay a small fee to the pool
manager. Mining pools are of immense benefit to small-scale investors. It allows them to join a collection of like-minded individuals
that combine resources to attempt to mine blocks successfully. The more computing power, the higher a pool's chances of mining new blocks.
Generally, mining pools run on three core factors-cooperative work protocol, mining software, and cooperative mining services.
Cooperative Work Protocol: this algorithm permits multiple
miners or participants to work on a block simultaneously. A server is linked directly to each participant in the block to track progress.
The mining software creates a connection between the pool and server, garners data for mathematical equations, and immediately starts
solving them. And when a solution is found, it sends the answer to the miner and works on the next block. Each software is distinct in
feature and functionality. Cooperative Mining Software: a cooperative mining server connects and permits multiple miners to pool resources
collectively in real-time. Mining pools reward/payment models. Crypto mining pools also use an array of reward systems. Some of these
include:
Pay-per-share (PPS) mining.
The pay-per-share mining reward system is a straightforward
model. And as the name implies, participants receive mining rewards based solely on each share contributed to a new block. This reward
system always rewards miners, even if no new block is found collectively.
Full Pay-per-share (FPPS) mining.
Also known as a pay-per-share plus, FPPS is similar to the
popular PPS reward model. However, this model rewards miners with a transaction fee if a new block is added. In the standard PPS system,
participants only receive a mining reward based on their contribution. The FPPS, on the other hand, offers a mining reward and a transaction
fee reward.
Pay-per-last N Share (PPLNS)
The Pay-per-last N Share model only pays participants when
a new block is found and added. The mining pool goes back to look for deposited shares before discovering each winning block. Only shares
provided within the timeframe are tallied and rewarded.
Double Geometric Method (DGM) mining.
The double geometric method is a hybrid of PPLNS and Geometric
reward that permits an operator to take on variance risks. Since miners do not know when a new block would be found, rewards for shares
pooled may vary based on certain factors. DGM is designed to ensure the average reward to be received is equal to what they get in a
PPS model.
Proportional mining
In this mining reward model, miners earn shares until a
new block is added. Expressly, proportional mining means that all shares contributed by pool members are equal, but the value is only
calculated at the end of each block discovering round.
Benefits of crypto mining pools
Crypto mining pools augment pooled resources and guarantee
a higher chance of completing new blocks and earning rewards. There are other benefits of this collective mining process, which include:
Better chances of earning rewards
Mining pools enable participants to compete with large-scale
mining companies, thus increasing their chance of mining a block. With more computing power, manpower, and an additional efficiency level,
mining pools can record faster block completion rates.
Reduced cost
One standout benefit of crypto mining pools is that small-scale
miners do not need to acquire expensive mining rigs to attempt blocks. Most application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) mining rigs,
like the AntMiner S19 Pro cost about $7,000, a steep price for a rig. Mining pools dispel the need to undertake a mining activity alone,
allowing miners to earn from collective effort.
Disadvantages of crypto mining pools
Heightened energy usage
Electricity accounts for 75% of the operational cost of
running large mining pools. And while electricity price depends on the host country, miners pay an estimated average of $0.046 per Kwh.
In addition to cost, the environmental effects of crypto mining cannot be overlooked. According to reports, Bitcoin mining alone accounts
for 0.1% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Establishes a centralized structure
Pooled mining transforms the crypto transaction validation
process into a centralized setting. It gives control to the largest mining pools with more resource-replete participants. This type of
system contradicts the decentralized structure that the crypto industry tries to promote.
Constant fees
While cryptocurrency mining pools are considered cheaper,
these pools will require us to pay between 1-3% recurring pooling fees. Fees would be paid from our share of the reward.
We are subject
to risks associated with legal, political or other conditions or developments regarding holding, using or mining of cryptocurrencies,
in particular Bitcoins, which could negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial position.
Changes in government
policies, taxes, general economic and fiscal conditions, as well as political, diplomatic or social events, expose us to financial and
business risks. In particular, changes in policies and laws regarding holding, using and/or mining of Bitcoins could result in an adverse
effect on our business operations and results of operations.
There are significant uncertainties
regarding future regulations pertaining to the holding, using or mining of Bitcoins, which may adversely affect our results of operations.
While Bitcoin has gradually gained more market acceptance and attention, it is anonymous and may be used for black market transactions,
money laundering, illegal activities or tax evasion. As a result, governments may seek to regulate, restrict, control or ban the mining,
use and holding of Bitcoins. We do not have any existing policies and procedures for the detection and prevention of money laundering
and terrorism-funding.
Therefore, our services
to complete a transaction may be used by other parties to engage in money laundering and other illegal or improper activities. We will
be subject to anti-money laundering laws. We cannot assure you that there will not be a failure in detecting money laundering or other
illegal or improper activities which may adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.
With advances in technology,
cryptocurrencies are likely to undergo significant changes in the future. It remains uncertain whether Bitcoin will be able to cope with,
or benefit from, those changes. In addition, as Bitcoin mining employs sophisticated and high computing power devices that need to consume
a lot of electricity to operate, future developments in the regulation of energy consumption, including possible restrictions on energy
usage in the jurisdictions where we plan to mine may also affect our business operations. There have been public backlashes surrounding
the environmental impacts of Bitcoin mining, particularly the large consumption of electricity, and governments of various jurisdictions
have responded. For example, in the United States, certain local governments of the State of Washington have discussed measures to address
environmental impacts of Bitcoin-related operations, such as the high electricity consumption of Bitcoin mining activities.
Substantial increases in the supply of
mining machines connected to the Bitcoin network would lead to an increase in network hash rate capacity, which in turn would increase
mining difficulty. This development would negatively affect the economic returns of our mining activities, which would decrease the demand
for and/or pricing of Bitcoin.
The difficulty of Bitcoin
mining, or the amount of computational resource required for a set amount of reward for recording a new block, directly affects the expected
economic returns for Bitcoin miners, which in turn affects our proprietary mining business. Bitcoin mining difficulty is a measure of
how much computing power is required to record a new block and it is affected by the total amount of computing power in the Bitcoin network.
The Bitcoin algorithm is designed to the effect that one block is generated, on average, every ten minutes, no matter how much computing
power is in the network. Thus, as more computing power joins the network, and assuming the rate of block creation does not change (remaining
at one block generated every ten minutes), the amount of computing power required to generate each block and hence the mining difficulty
increases. In other words, based on the current design of the Bitcoin network, Bitcoin mining difficulty would increase together with
the total computing power available in the Bitcoin network, which is in turn affected by the number of Bitcoin mining machines in operation.
From
January 2021 to October 2023, Bitcoin mining difficulty (the degree of difficulty involved in discovering new bitcoin blocks
through mining) increased by approximately 3.2 times3. As a result, a strong growth in promotion of Bitcoin computing power
supply services can contribute to further growth in the total computing power in the network, thereby driving up the difficulty of Bitcoin
mining and resulting in downward pressure on the expected economic return of Bitcoin mining and the demand for, and pricing of Bitcoin.
Our
business is highly dependent on acquiring a sufficient number of cryptocurrency mining machines from cryptocurrency suppliers. We
may not be able to obtain new mining hardware or purchase such hardware at competitive prices during times of high demand, which
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business is highly dependent
upon cryptocurrency mining equipment suppliers providing an adequate supply of new generation cryptocurrency mining machines at economical
prices to support our proprietary mining. The growth in our business is directly related to increased demand for cryptocurrencies such
as Bitcoin which is dependent in large part on the availability of new generation mining machines offered for sale at a price conducive
to profitable cryptocurrency mining, as well as the trading price of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. The market price and availability
of new mining machines fluctuates with the price of Bitcoin and can be volatile.
Historically, an increase
in interest and demand for cryptocurrencies has led to a shortage of mining hardware and increased prices. In addition, as more companies
seek to enter the mining industry, the demand for machines may outpace supply and create mining machine equipment shortages. There is
no assurance that cryptocurrency mining equipment suppliers will be able to keep pace with any surge in demand for mining equipment. We
may in the future experience difficulty in obtaining new equipment or replacement components including graphics processing units
and application-specific integrated circuit chipsets and computer servers, which in the future may have, a material impact on our mining
operation. Further, we may have little or no recourse in the event a mining machine manufacturer or distributor defaults on its mining
machine delivery commitments. If we are not able to obtain a sufficient number of cryptocurrency mining machines at favorable prices,
our growth expectations, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations will be negatively impacted.

Delays in the purchase of
land and construction of our planned mining datacenter in Georgia or significant cost overruns could present significant risks to our
business and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The daily operations of our
business requires the support of a 14 MW mining datacenter, with a highly specialized infrastructure and considerable, reliable power
in order to compete effectively. We intend to mine for Bitcoin and purchase an unknown number of mining machines. We may face significant
challenges in obtaining suitable land, and construction costs including a warehouse to host our mining computers/servers. We will need
to work closely with the local power suppliers and local municipal governments where our proposed facility will be located. Delays in
actions that require the assistance of such third parties, in receiving required permits and approvals or in mediations with local communities,
if any, may negatively impact our construction timelines and budget or result in any new facilities not being completed at all.
If we experience significant
delays in the supply of power required to support any mining datacenter or construction, the progress of such projects could deviate from
our original plan, which could cause material and negative effects on our revenue, profitability and results of operations. Any material
delay in completing this project, or any substantial cost increases or quality issues in connection with this project, could materially
delay our ability to mine Bitcoin and materially and adversely affect our business model, financial condition and results of operations.
We may
be at a higher risk of litigation and other legal proceedings due to heightened regulatory scrutiny of the cryptocurrency industry, which
could ultimately be resolved against us, requiring material future cash payments or charges, and accordingly impair our financial condition
and results of operations.
The size, nature and complexity
of our business could make us susceptible to various claims, both in litigation and binding arbitration proceedings, legal proceedings,
and government investigations, due to the heightened regulatory scrutiny following the recent disruptions in the crypto asset markets.
We believe that since cryptocurrency mining, and the digital asset industry generally, is a relatively new business sector, it is more
likely subject to government investigation and regulatory determination, particularly following the recent cryptocurrency market participant
bankruptcies described elsewhere herein. Any claims, regulatory proceedings or litigation that could arise in the course of our business
could have a material adverse effect on us, its business or operations, or the industry as a whole.
We may
be vulnerable to security breaches, which could disrupt its operations and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
and results of operations.
A party who is able to compromise
the physical security measures protecting our facilities could cause interruptions or malfunctions in our operations and misappropriate
our property. We may be required to expend significant capital and resources to protect against such threats or to alleviate problems
caused by breaches in security. As techniques used to breach security change frequently and are often not recognized until launched against
a target, we may not be able to implement new security measures in a timely manner or, if and when implemented, we may not be certain
whether these measures could be circumvented. Any breaches that may occur could expose us to increased risk of lawsuits, regulatory penalties,
blacklisted, harm to our reputation and increases our security costs, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial
condition and results of operations.
In addition, any assertions
of alleged security breaches or systems failure made against us, whether true or not, could harm our reputation, cause us to incur substantial
legal fees and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Whether or not any such
assertion actually develops into litigation, our management may be required to devote significant time and attention to dispute resolution
(through litigation, settlement or otherwise), which would detract from our management’s ability to focus on its business. Any such
resolution could involve the payment of damages or expenses by us, which may be significant. In addition, any such resolution could involve
an agreement with terms that restrict the operation of our business. Any such resolution, including the resources exhausted in connection
therewith, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Furthermore, security breaches,
computer malware and computer hacking attacks have been a prevalent concern in the Bitcoin exchange market since the launch of the Bitcoin
network. Any security breach caused by hacking, which involves efforts to gain unauthorized access to information or systems, or to cause
intentional malfunctions or loss or corruption of data, software, hardware or other computer equipment, and the inadvertent transmission
of computer viruses, could harm our business operations or result in loss of any assets.

Risks
Related to Cryptocurrencies
Because there has been limited precedent
set for financial accounting for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, the determinations that we plan to make for how to account for cryptocurrencies
transactions may be subject to change.
The accounting rules and
regulations that we must comply with are complex and subject to interpretation by the Generally Accepted Accounting Principals (“GAAP”),
the SEC, and various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. A change in these principles or interpretations
could have a significant effect on our reported financial results, and may even affect the reporting of transactions completed before
the announcement or effectiveness of a change. Further, there has been limited precedents for the financial accounting of cryptocurrencies
and related valuation and revenue recognition, and no official guidance has been provided by GAAP or the SEC. As such, there remains significant
uncertainty on how companies can account for cryptocurrency transactions, cryptocurrencies, and related revenue. Uncertainties in or changes
to in regulatory or financial accounting standards could result in the need to changing our accounting methods and restate our financial
statements and impair our ability to provide timely and accurate financial information, which could adversely affect our financial statements,
result in a loss of investor confidence, and more generally impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.
Any loss or destruction of a private
key required to access a cryptocurrency of CBLO is irreversible. We may also may temporarily lose access to its cryptocurrencies.
Cryptocurrencies are
each accessible and controllable only by the possessor of both the unique public key and private key associated with the cryptocurrency,
wherein the public and private keys are held in an offline or online digital wallet. Our sole director will hold the public and private
keys associated with our crypto asset wallet(s). They will be stored on an encrypted hard drive which will then be kept and stored in
a physical safe deposit box at a bank.
To the extent a private key is lost, destroyed or otherwise
compromised and no backup of the private key is available,we will be unable to access the applicable cryptocurrency associated with that
private key and the private key cannot be restored. As a result, any cryptocurrencies associated with such key could be irretrievably
lost. Any loss of private keys relating to digital wallets used to store the applicable cryptocurrencies could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, we may temporarily
lose access to its cryptocurrencies as a result of software or systems upgrades or maintenance. In this case, we would likely rely on
third parties to assist in restoring our access, and there is no assurance such third parties will be able to restore access on a timely
basis, or at all. Any temporary loss, if it occurs, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations.
Bitcoin exchanges and
wallets, and to a lesser extent, the Bitcoin network itself, may suffer from hacking and fraud risks, which may adversely erode user confidence
in Bitcoin which would affect our business and operations. Further, digital asset exchanges on which crypto assets trade are relatively
new and largely unregulated, and thus may be exposed to fraud and failure. Incorrect or fraudulent cryptocurrency transactions may be
irreversible.
Bitcoin transactions are
entirely digital and, as with any virtual system, are at risk from hackers, malware and operational glitches. Hackers can target Bitcoin
exchanges and Bitcoin transactions, to gain access to thousands of accounts and digital wallets where Bitcoins are stored. Bitcoin transactions
and accounts are not insured by any type of government program and all Bitcoin transactions are permanent because there is no third party
or payment processor. Bitcoin has suffered from hacking and cyber-theft as such incidents have been reported by several cryptocurrency
exchanges and miners, highlighting concerns about the security of Bitcoin and therefore affecting its demand and price.
To the extent that cryptocurrency
exchanges or other trading venues are involved in fraud or experience security failures or other operational issues, a reduction in cryptocurrency
prices could occur. Cryptocurrency market prices depend, directly or indirectly, on the prices set on exchanges and other trading venues,
which are new and, in most cases, largely unregulated as compared to established, regulated exchanges for securities, derivatives and
other currencies. For example, during the past three years, a number of Bitcoin exchanges have been closed due to fraud, business
failure or security breaches. In many of these instances, the customers of the closed Bitcoin exchanges were not compensated or made whole
for the partial or complete losses of their account balances in such Bitcoin exchanges. Also, the price and exchange of Bitcoin may be
affected due to fraud risk. While Bitcoin uses private key encryption to verify owners and register transactions, fraudsters and scammers
may attempt to sell false Bitcoins. All of the above may adversely affect the operation of the Bitcoin network which would erode user
confidence in Bitcoin, which would negatively affect demand for Bitcoin. In addition, smaller exchanges are less likely to have the infrastructure
and capitalization that provide larger exchanges with additional stability, larger exchanges may be more likely to be appealing targets
for hackers and “malware” (i.e., software used or programmed by attackers to disrupt computer operation, gather sensitive
information, or gain access to private computer systems) and may be more likely to be targets of regulatory enforcement action.

software used or programmed by attackers to disrupt computer operation, gather sensitive information, or gain access to private computer
systems) and may be more likely to be targets of regulatory enforcement action.
Further, digital asset exchanges
on which cryptocurrencies trade are relatively new and, in most cases, largely unregulated. Many digital exchanges do not provide the
public with significant information regarding their ownership structure, management teams, corporate practices or regulatory compliance.
As a result, the marketplace may lose confidence in, or may experience problems relating to, cryptocurrency exchanges, including prominent
exchanges handling a significant portion of the volume of digital asset trading. During 2022, a number of companies in the crypto industry
have declared bankruptcy, including Compute North, Core Scientific, Alameda Research LLC, Celsius Network, Voyager Digital, Three Arrows,
BlockFi, and FTX. In June 2022, Celsius began pausing all withdrawals and transfers between accounts on its platform, and in July 2022,
it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Further, in November 2022, FTX, one of the major cryptocurrency exchanges, also filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Such bankruptcies have contributed, at least in part, to further price decreases in Bitcoin, a loss of confidence
in the participants of the digital asset ecosystem and negative publicity surrounding digital assets more broadly, and other participants
and entities in the digital asset industry have been, and may continue to be, negatively affected. These events have also negatively impacted
the liquidity of the digital assets markets as certain entities affiliated with FTX engaged in significant trading activity.
We do not believe to be directly
impacted by any of the recent bankruptcies in the crypto asset space, as it has no contractual privity or relationship to the relevant
parties. However, we are dependent on the overall crypto assets industry, and such recent events have contributed, at least in part, to
its peers’ stock price as well as the price of Bitcoin. If the liquidity of the digital assets markets continues to be negatively
impacted, digital asset prices (including the price of Bitcoin) may continue to experience significant volatility and confidence in the
digital asset markets may be further undermined. A perceived lack of stability in the digital asset exchange market and the closure or
temporary shutdown of digital asset exchanges due to business failure, hackers or malware, government-mandated regulation, or fraud, may
reduce confidence in digital asset networks and result in greater volatility in cryptocurrency values. These potential consequences of
a digital asset exchange’s failure could adversely affect our mining operation, discourage overall participation in the cryptocurrency
industry. Cryptocurrency investments may be subject to losses or impairments if cryptocurrency values decrease as a result of failure
of any digital asset exchange.

Malicious actors or botnet
may obtain control of more than 50% of the processing power on the Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency network.
If a malicious actor or botnet
(a volunteer or hacked collection of computers controlled by networked software coordinating the actions of the computers) obtains a majority
of the processing power dedicated to mining on the Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency network, it may be able to alter the blockchain on
which the Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency network and most Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency transactions rely by constructing fraudulent
blocks or preventing certain transactions from completing in a timely manner, or at all. The malicious actor or botnet could control,
exclude, or modify the ordering of transactions, though it could not generate new cryptocurrencies or transactions using such control.
The malicious actor could “double-spend” its own cryptocurrencies (i.e., spend the same cryptocurrencies in more than one
transaction) and prevent the confirmation of other users’ transactions for so long as it maintained control. To the extent that
such malicious actor or botnet did not yield its control of the processing power on the cryptocurrency network, or the cryptocurrency
community did not reject the fraudulent blocks as malicious, reversing any changes made to the blockchain may not be possible. Although
there are no known reports of malicious activity or control of the Bitcoin blockchain achieved through controlling over 50% of the processing
power on the network, it is believed that certain mining pools may have exceeded the 50% threshold. The possible crossing of the 50% threshold
indicates a greater risk in that a single mining pool could exert authority over the validation of Bitcoin transactions. To the extent
that the cryptocurrency ecosystems, including developers and administrators of mining pools, do not act to ensure greater decentralization
of Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency mining processing power, the feasibility of a malicious actor obtaining control of the processing power
on the cryptocurrency network will increase, which may adversely affect an investment in us.
If
there are significant changes to the method of validating blockchain transactions, such changes could harm our proprietary mining business
..
New cryptocurrency transaction
protocols are continuously being deployed, and existing and new protocols are in a state of constant change and development. While certain
validation protocols currently employ a PoW consensus algorithm, whereby miners are required to expend significant amounts of electrical
and computing power to solve complex mathematical problems in order to validate transactions and create new blocks in a blockchain, there
may be a shift towards adopting alternative validating protocols. These protocols may include a PoS algorithm, PoC algorithm or any other
algorithm based on a protocol other than PoW, which may decrease the reliance on computing power as an advantage to validating blocks.
Our proprietary mining operations will be designed to primarily support a PoW consensus algorithm. Should the algorithm shift from a
PoW validation method to others, mining would require less energy and may render any company that maintains advantages in the current
climate (for example, from lower priced electricity, processing, real estate or hosting) less competitive. As a result of our efforts
to optimize and improve the efficiency of our cryptocurrency mining operations,we may be exposed to the risk in the future of losing
the benefit of any capital investments and the competitive advantage we hope to gain from this as a result, and may be negatively impacted
if a switch to protocols other than PoW were to occur. If we cannot adapt to the new mining protocols quickly enough to keep pace with
the market change, any such change to transaction validating protocols could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
Growth in the popularity
and use of other blockchain networks other than PoW cryptocurrency networks, may adversely affect our business.
A consensus algorithm is
the mechanism through which a blockchain network reach consensus. There are several types of consensus algorithms, the most common among
which are Proof-of-Work (“PoW”), Proof-of-Stake (“PoS”), Delegated-Proof-of-Stake (“DPoS”), Proof-of-Space-Time
(“PoST”), and Proof-of- Capacity (“PoC”). PoW is employed by Bitcoin and many other cryptocurrencies, according
to which miners with higher computing power have better chances to find a valid solution for the next block. On the contrary, according
to PoS, the creator of a new block is chosen in a deterministic way based on his or her stake, which is the number of coins he or she
owns. As validation under PoS does not depend on computing power, PoS reduces the need for electricity and mining hardware. DPoS works
similarly to PoS except it involves a voting and delegation mechanism to incentivize users to secure the network with their staked collateral.
PoST and PoC are consensus mechanism algorithm used in blockchains that allows for mining devices in the network to use their available
storage space and time to decide mining rights and validate transactions. PoST and PoC emerged as some of the many alternative solutions
to the problem of high energy consumption in PoW systems and cryptocurrency hoarding in PoS systems.
Currently, the original PoW cryptocurrency network, Bitcoin,
enjoys a first-to-market advantage over other networks such as PoS networks and dominates the cryptocurrency markets as it was introduced
by Satoshi Nakamoto back in 2009, way earlier than other cryptocurrencies, and since then grew into the most populator cryptocurrency.
As of October 8, 2023, the market capitalization
of Bitcoin was US $544 million, accounting for approximately 48% of the total capitalization of the global cryptocurrency market4.
Bitcoin’s market capitalization and its share of the market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies fluctuate as other cryptocurrencies
were introduced to the digital assets industry at a later time and became more mainstream for various reasons, and there is no guarantee
that Bitcoin or other PoW cryptocurrency networks, will continue to enjoy such market leading position and could be is overtaken by another
virtual asset. For example, as the cryptocurrency community continues to develop and advance.
If preferences in the cryptocurrency markets shift away from
PoW networks and PoS networks achieve widespread adoption, it could attract users away from Bitcoin and other PoW cryptocurrencies. We
plan to mine with machines that utilize PoW algorithms. Switching to any other algorithm could have a material adverse effect on our mining
business and or operations as there is no guarantee that we will be able to adapt to new businesses swiftly enough, if at all.
The acceptance
of Bitcoin network software patches or upgrades by a significant, but not overwhelming, percentage of the users and miners in the Bitcoin
network could result in a “fork” in the blockchain, resulting in the operation of two separate networks that cannot be merged.
The existence of forked blockchains could erode user confidence in Bitcoin and could adversely impact our business, results of operations
and financial condition.
Bitcoin is based on open-source
software and has no official developer or group of developers that formally controls the Bitcoin network. Any individual can download
the Bitcoin network software and make any desired modifications, which are proposed to users and miners on the Bitcoin network through
software downloads and upgrades. However, miners and users must consent to those software modifications by downloading the altered software
or upgrading and implementing the changes; otherwise, the changes do not become part of the Bitcoin network. Since the Bitcoin network’s
inception, changes to the Bitcoin network have been accepted by the vast majority of users and miners, ensuring that the Bitcoin network
remains a coherent economic system. However, a developer or group of developers could potentially propose a modification to the Bitcoin
network that is not accepted by a vast majority of miners and users, but that is nonetheless accepted by a substantial population of
participants in the Bitcoin network. In such a case, a fork in the blockchain could develop and two separate Bitcoin networks could result,
one running the pre-modification software program and the other running the modified version. An example is the introduction of a cryptocurrency
known as “Bitcoin cash” in mid-2017. This kind of split in the Bitcoin network could erode user confidence in the stability
of the Bitcoin network, which could negatively affect our business.

Cryptocurrency
transactions are irrevocable and, if stolen or incorrectly transferred, cryptocurrencies may be irretrievable. As a result, any incorrectly
executed cryptocurrency transactions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Typically, cryptocurrency
transactions are not, from an administrative perspective, reversible without the consent and active participation of the recipient of
the transaction or, in theory, control or consent of a majority of the processing power on the applicable network. Once a transaction
has been confirmed and verified in a block that is added to the network blockchain, an incorrect transfer of a cryptocurrency or a theft
of a cryptocurrency generally will not be reversible and we may not be capable of seeking compensation for any such transfer or theft.
Although transfers of any cryptocurrencies that we hold will regularly be made to or from vendors, consultants, services providers, etc.,
it is possible that, through computer or human error, or through theft or criminal action, our cryptocurrencies could be transferred from
itself in incorrect amounts or to unauthorized third parties. To the extent that we are unable to seek a corrective transaction with such
third party or is incapable of identifying the third party that has received our cryptocurrencies through error or theft, we will be unable
to revert or otherwise recover our incorrectly transferred cryptocurrencies. To the extent that we are unable to seek redress for such
error or theft, such loss could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The
cryptocurrencies held by us may be subject to loss, damage, theft or restriction on access, which could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
There
is a risk that some or all of the cryptocurrencies held by us could be lost, stolen or destroyed. We believe that the cryptocurrencies
held by us and our mining operation will be an appealing target to hackers or malware distributors seeking to destroy, damage
or steal our cryptocurrencies. Our security procedures and operational infrastructure may be breached due to the actions of outside parties,
or otherwise, and, as a result, an unauthorized party may obtain access to our cryptocurrency accounts, private keys, data or cryptocurrencies.
Although we plan to implement a number of security procedures to minimize the risk of loss, there is no guarantee that the prevention
of such loss, damage or theft, whether caused intentionally, accidentally or by an act of God.
To the extent that any miners
cease to record transactions in solved blocks, transactions that do not include the payment of a transaction fee will not be recorded
on the blockchain until a block is solved by a miner who does not require the payment of transaction fees. Any widespread delays in the
recording of transactions could result in a loss of confidence in that cryptocurrency network, which could adversely impact our mining
operation.
To
the extent that any miners cease to record transactions in solved blocks, such transactions will not be recorded on the blockchain. Currently,
there are no known incentives for miners to elect to exclude the recording of transactions in solved blocks; however, to the extent that
any such incentives arise (e.g., a collective movement among miners or one or more mining pools forcing Bitcoin users to pay transaction
fees as a substitute for or in addition to the award of new Bitcoins upon the solving of a block), actions of miners solving a significant
number of blocks could delay the recording and confirmation of transactions on the blockchain.
Any
systemic delays in the recording and confirmation of transactions on the blockchain could result in greater exposure to double-spending
transactions and a loss of confidence in certain or all cryptocurrency networks, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, and operating results.
Miners
may sell a substantial number of cryptocurrencies into the market, which may exert downward pressure on the price of the applicable cryptocurrency
and, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Transaction processing requires
the investment of significant capital for the acquisition of hardware, leasing or purchasing space, involves substantial electricity costs
and requires the employment of personnel to operate the data facilities, which may lead transaction processing operators to liquidate
their positions in cryptocurrencies to fund these capital requirements. In addition, if the reward of new cryptocurrencies for transaction
processing declines, and/or if transaction fees are not sufficiently high, profit margins for transaction processing operators may be
reduced, and such operators may be more likely to sell a higher percentage of their cryptocurrencies. Whereas it is believed that
individual operators in past years were more likely to hold cryptocurrencies for more extended periods, the immediate selling of
newly transacted cryptocurrencies by operators may increase the supply of such cryptocurrencies on the applicable exchange market,
which could create downward pressure on the price of the cryptocurrencies and, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
To
the extent that the profit margins of cryptocurrency mining operations are not high, mining participants are more likely to sell their
earned Bitcoin, which could constrain Bitcoin prices.
Over the past few years,
cryptocurrency mining operations have evolved from individual users mining with computer processors, graphics processing units and
first-generation application-specific integrated circuit (“ASIC”) servers. Currently, new processing power is predominantly
added by incorporated and unincorporated “professionalized” mining operations. Professionalized mining operations may use
proprietary hardware or sophisticated ASIC machines acquired from ASIC manufacturers. They require the investment of significant capital
to acquire this hardware, to lease operating space (often in datacenters or warehousing facilities), and to pay the costs of electricity
and labor to operate the mining datacenters. As a result, professionalized mining operations are of a greater scale than prior mining
operations and have more defined and regular expenses and liabilities. These regular expenses and liabilities require professionalized
mining operations to maintain profit margins on the sale of cryptocurrencies. To the extent the price of cryptocurrencies declines and
such profit margin is constrained, professionalized mining participants are incentivized to more immediately sell cryptocurrencies earned
from mining operations, whereas it is believed that individual mining participants in past years were more likely to hold newly mined
cryptocurrencies for more extended periods. The immediate selling of newly mined cryptocurrencies greatly increases the trading volume
of the cryptocurrencies, creating downward pressure on the market price of cryptocurrency rewards. The extent to which the value of cryptocurrencies
mined by a professionalized mining operation exceeds the allocable capital and operating costs determines the profit margin of such operation.
A professionalized mining operation may be more likely to sell a higher percentage of its newly mined cryptocurrencies rapidly if
it is operating at a low profit margin and it may partially or completely cease operations if its profit margin is negative. In a low
profit margin environment, a higher percentage could be sold more rapidly, thereby potentially depressing cryptocurrency prices.
Lower cryptocurrency prices could result in further tightening of profit margins for professionalized mining operations creating a network
effect that may further reduce the price of cryptocurrencies until mining operations with higher operating costs become unprofitable forcing
them to reduce mining power or cease mining operations temporarily. Such circumstances could have a material adverse effect our business,
prospects or operations and potentially the value of Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrencies we decide to mine or otherwise acquire or
hold for our own account.
Cryptocurrencies
and transactions may be subject to further taxation in the future.
In recent years,
the rise of cryptocurrency prices and transaction volume has attracted the attention of tax authorities. As the laws governing cryptocurrencies
are still evolving, the tax treatment of cryptocurrencies in various jurisdictions is subject to change. New laws or legislations, such
as the ones introduced in the United States under the “Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act,” commonly referred to as the
“infrastructure bill,” which was signed into law on November 15, 2021, will include tax reporting provisions that apply
to cryptocurrencies. Introductions of more stringent provisions on reporting or surveillance of cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrencies
will likely be an ongoing trend from authorities worldwide. These new provisions may direct or indirectly impact scrutiny and assessments
in relation to taxation. While some countries have expressed an intention to or have imposed taxation on cryptocurrencies and transactions,
other tax authorities have been silent. As there is considerable uncertainty over the taxation of cryptocurrencies, there is no guarantee
that the cryptocurrencies and transactions denominated in cryptocurrencies will not be subject to further taxation in the future, including
but not limited to additional taxes and increased tax rate. These events could reduce the economic return of cryptocurrency and increase
the holding costs of cryptocurrencies, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks
Related to Regulatory Compliance and Other Legal Matters
Until recently, relatively little regulatory attention has been directed
toward the crypto assets market by U.S. federal and state governments, non-U.S. governments and self-regulatory agencies. As crypto assets
have grown in popularity and in market size, the U.S. regulatory regime — namely the Federal Reserve Board, U.S. Congress
and certain U.S. agencies (e.g., the SEC, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”), the Financial Crimes
Enforcement Network (the “FinCEN”) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation), and local and foreign governmental organizations,
consumer agencies and public advocacy groups have been examining the operations of crypto networks, users and platforms, with a focus
on how crypto assets can be used to launder the proceeds of illegal activities, fund criminal or terrorist enterprises, and the safety
and soundness of platforms and other service providers that hold crypto assets for users. Many of these entities have called for heightened
regulatory oversight, and have issued consumer advisories describing the risks posed by crypto assets to users and investors. For instance,
in March 2022, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell expressed the need for regulation to prevent “cryptocurrencies from serving as
a vehicle for terrorist finance and just general criminal behavior”. On March 8, 2022, President Biden announced an executive
order on cryptocurrencies which seeks to establish a unified federal regulatory regime for cryptocurrencies. The complexity and nature
of our business and the significant uncertainty surrounding the regulation of the crypto assets industry requires us to exercise its judgment
as to whether certain laws, rules, and regulations apply to it, and it is possible that governmental bodies and regulators may disagree
with its conclusions. To the extent that we have not complied with such laws, rules and regulations, we could be subject to significant
fines, revocation of licenses, and other regulatory consequences, each of which may be significant and could adversely affect our business,
operating results, and financial condition.
On June 5, 2023, the Securities
and Exchange Commission charged Binance Holdings LTD alleging that the exchange was involved in the sale of unregistered securities. On
June 6, 2023, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged Coinbase, Inc. with operating its crypto asset trading platform as an unregistered
national securities exchange, broker, and clearing agency. The SEC also charged Coinbase for failing to register the offer and sale of
its crypto asset staking-as-a-service program. Additionally, the recent bankruptcy filings of FTX, the third largest digital asset exchange
by volume at the time of its filing, and its affiliated hedge fund Alameda Research LLC, in addition to other bankruptcy filings of crypto
companies throughout calendar year 2022, will likely attract heightened regulatory scrutiny from U.S. regulatory agencies such as the
SEC and CFTC. Increasing regulation and regulatory scrutiny may result in additional costs for us and our management having to devote
increased time and attention to regulatory matters, change aspects of our business or result in limits on the utility of Bitcoin. In addition,
regulatory developments and/or our business activities may require us to comply with certain regulatory regimes. Increasingly strict legal
and regulatory requirements and any regulatory investigations and enforcement may result in changes to our business, as well as increased
costs, supervision and examination. Moreover, new laws, regulations, or interpretations may result in additional litigation, regulatory
investigations, and enforcement or other actions. Adverse changes to, or our failure to comply with, any laws and regulations may have,
an adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
Although we are not directly
connected to the recent cryptocurrency market events, we may still suffer reputational harm due to its association with the cryptocurrency
industry in light of the recent disruption in the crypto asset markets. Ongoing and future regulation and regulatory actions could significantly
restrict or eliminate the market for or uses of Bitcoin and/or may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We require certain approvals,
licenses, permits and certifications to operate. Any failure to obtain or renew any of these approvals, licenses, permits or certifications
could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
In accordance with
the laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we plan to operate, we will be required to maintain certain approvals, licenses,
permits and certifications, such as obtaining certificates of occupancy and passing electrical inspection for our mining datacenter. Complying
with such laws and regulations may require substantial expense, and any non-compliance may expose us to liability. In the event of non-compliance,
we may have to incur significant expenses and divert substantial management time to rectify the incidents. In the future, if we fail to
obtain all the necessary approvals, licenses, permits and certifications, it may be subject to fines or the suspension of operations of
the production facilities and research and development facilities that do not have all the requisite approvals, licenses, permits and
certifications, which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. We may also experience adverse publicity
arising from non-compliance with government regulations, which would negatively impact our reputation. There is no assurance that we will
be able to fulfill all the conditions necessary to obtain the required government approvals, or that relevant government officials will
always, if ever, exercise their discretion in our favor, or that we will be able to adapt to any new laws, regulations and policies. There
may also be delays on the part of government authorities in reviewing our applications and granting approvals, whether due to the lack
of human resources or the imposition of new rules, regulations, government policies or their implementation, interpretation and enforcement.
If we are unable to obtain, or experience material delays in obtaining, necessary government approvals, our operations may be substantially
disrupted, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We are not aware of
any governmental licenses or authorizations required to mine bitcoin.
If we were deemed an “investment
company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, applicable restrictions could make it impractical for us to continue
its business as contemplated and could have a material adverse effect on our business.
An issuer will generally
be deemed to be an “investment company” for purposes of the 1940 Act if:
•
it is an “orthodox” investment company because it is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily, or proposes to engage
primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities; or
•
it is an inadvertent investment company because, absent an applicable exemption, it owns or proposes to acquire “investment securities”
having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated
basis.
We believe it is not and
will not be primarily engaged in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities, and we do not hold ourselves out as
being engaged in those activities. We intend to hold ourselves out as a cryptocurrency mining business. Accordingly, we do not believe
that it is an “orthodox” investment company as described in the first bullet point above.
While certain cryptocurrencies
may be deemed to be securities, we do not believe that certain other cryptocurrencies, in particular Bitcoin, are securities; therefore,
it believes that less than 40% of our total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis
will comprise cryptocurrencies that could be considered investment securities. Accordingly, we do not believe that we are an inadvertent
investment company by virtue of the 40% inadvertent investment company test as described in the second bullet point above. Although we
do not believe any of the cryptocurrencies it may own, acquire or mine are securities, there is still some regulatory uncertainty on the
subject, see “— There is no one unifying principle governing the regulatory status of cryptocurrencies nor whether cryptocurrencies
are securities in any particular context. Regulatory changes or actions in one or more countries may alter the nature of an investment
in us or restrict the use of cryptocurrencies, such as cryptocurrencies, in a manner that adversely affects our business, prospects or
operations. If certain cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, were to be deemed securities, and consequently, investment securities by the
SEC, we could be deemed an inadvertent investment company. Investment company registration is time consuming and would require a restructuring
of our business. Moreover, the operation of an investment company is very costly and restrictive, as investment companies are subject
to substantial regulation concerning management, operations, transactions with affiliated persons and portfolio composition, and the Investment
Company Act filing requirements. The cost of such compliance would result in us incurring substantial additional expenses, and the failure
to register if required would have a materially adverse impact on its operations.
We intend to conduct our
operations so that we are not required to register as an investment company under the 1940 Act. Specifically, we do not believe that cryptocurrencies,
in particular Bitcoin, are securities. The SEC Staff has not provided guidance with respect to the treatment of these assets under the
1940 Act. To the extent the SEC Staff publishes new guidance with respect to these matters, we may be required to adjust its strategy
or assets accordingly. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain its exclusion from registration as an investment company
under the 1940 Act. In addition, as a consequence of its seeking to avoid the need to register under the 1940 Act on an ongoing basis,
we may be limited in its ability to engage in cryptocurrency mining operations or otherwise make certain investments, and these limitations
could result in us holding assets it may wish to sell or selling assets it may wish to hold, which could materially and adversely affect
its business, financial condition and results of operations.

There is no one unifying principle
governing the regulatory status of cryptocurrencies nor whether cryptocurrencies are securities in any particular context. Regulatory
changes or actions in one or more countries may alter the nature of an investment in us or restrict the use of cryptocurrencies, such
as Bitcoins, in a manner that adversely affects our business prospects or operations.
As cryptocurrencies
have grown in both popularity and market size, governments around the world have reacted differently, with certain governments deeming
cryptocurrencies illegal, and others allowing their use and trade without restriction. In the U.S., the Commission and staff have issued
reports, orders, and statements that provide guidance on when a crypto asset may be a security for purposes of the U.S. federal securities
laws.
Bitcoin is the oldest
and most well-known form of cryptocurrency. Bitcoin and other forms of cryptocurrencies have been the source of much regulatory consternation,
resulting in differing definitional outcomes without a single unifying statement. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are viewed differently
by different regulatory and standards setting organizations globally as well as in the United States on the federal and state levels.
For example, the Financial Action Task Force considers a cryptocurrency as currency or an asset, and the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”)
considers a cryptocurrency as property and not currency. Further, the IRS applies general tax principles that apply to property transactions
to transactions involving virtual currency.
Furthermore, in the
several applications to establish an exchange traded fund (“ETF”) of cryptocurrency, and in the questions raised by the Staff
under the 1940 Act, no clear principles emerge from the regulators as to how they view these issues and how to regulate cryptocurrency
under the applicable securities acts. It has been widely reported that the SEC has recently issued letters and requested various ETF applications
be withdrawn because of concerns over liquidity and valuation and unanswered questions about absence of reporting and compliance procedures
capable of being implemented under the current state of the markets for exchange traded funds. On April 20, 2021, the U.S. House
of Representatives passed a bipartisan bill titled “Eliminate Barriers to Innovation Act of 2021” (H.R. 1602). If passed
by the Senate and enacted into law, the bipartisan bill would create a cryptocurrency working group to evaluate the current legal and
regulatory framework around cryptocurrencies in the United States and define when the SEC may have jurisdiction over a particular token
or cryptocurrency (i.e., when it is a security) and when the CFTC may have jurisdiction (i.e., on derivatives of a cryptocurrency when
it is a commodity).
If regulatory changes or
interpretations require the regulation of Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies under the securities laws of the United States or elsewhere,
including the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the 1940 Act, and the Bank Secrecy Act or similar laws of other jurisdictions and interpretations
by the SEC, the CFTC, the IRS, Department of Treasury or other agencies or authorities, we may be required to register and comply with
such regulations, including at a state or local level. To the extent that we decide to continue operations, the required registrations
and regulatory compliance steps may result in extraordinary expense or burdens to us. We may also decide to cease certain operations and
change our business model. Any disruption of our operations in response to the changed regulatory circumstances may be at a time that
is disadvantageous to us.
A determination that any cryptocurrency is a
“security” may adversely affect the value of such cryptocurrency and could therefore adversely affect our business, prospects
or operations.
Depending on its characteristics,
a cryptocurrency may be considered a “security” under the federal securities laws. The test for determining whether a particular
cryptocurrency is a “security” is complex and difficult to apply, and the outcome is difficult to predict. Whether a crytocurrency
is a security under the federal securities laws depends on whether it is included in the lists of instruments making up the definition
of “security” in the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Investment Company Act. Cryptocurrencies as such do not appear
in any of these lists, although each list includes the terms “investment contract” and “note,” and the SEC has
typically analyzed whether a particular cryptocurrency is a security by reference to whether it meets the tests developed by the federal
courts interpreting these terms, known as the Howey and Reves tests, respectively. For many cryptocurrencies, whether or not the Howey
or Reves tests are met is difficult to resolve definitively, and substantial legal arguments can often be made both in favor of and against
a particular digital asset qualifying as a security under one or both of the Howey and Reves tests. Adding to the complexity, the SEC
staff has indicated that the security status of a particular digital asset can change over time as the relevant facts evolve.
Current and future legislation
and SEC-rulemaking and other regulatory developments, including interpretations released by a regulatory authority, may impact the manner
in which Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies are viewed or treated for classification and clearing purposes. In particular, Bitcoin and
other cryptocurrencies may not be excluded from the definition of “security” by SEC rulemaking or interpretation requiring
registration of all transactions unless another exemption is available, including transacting in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies among
owners and requiring registration of trading platforms as “exchanges.” Accordingly, cryptocurrencies such as Zcash may currently
be a security, based on the facts as they exist today, or may in the future be found by the SEC or a federal court to be a security under
the federal securities laws. We do not intend to hold or generate mining yield from cryptocurrencies in violation of the federal securities
laws. Accordingly, if any cryptocurrencies involved in our business is determined by us, the SEC or other regulatory authorities to be
a security under the federal securities laws, it could result in interruption of our business operations.
Furthermore, the SEC may
determine that certain cryptocurrencies or interests, for example tokens offered and sold in ICOs, may constitute securities under the
Howey test as stated by the United States Supreme Court. As such, ICO offerings would require registration under the Securities Act or
an available exemption therefrom for offers or sales in the United States to be lawful. Section 5(a) of the Securities Act provides
that, unless a registration statement is in effect as to a security, it is unlawful for any person, directly or indirectly, to engage
in the offer or sale of securities in interstate commerce. Section 5(c) of the Securities Act provides a similar prohibition against
offers to sell, or offers to buy, unless a registration statement has been filed.
Although we do not intend
to be engaged in the offer or sale of securities in the form of ICO offerings, and we do not believe our planned mining activities would
require registration for us to conduct such activities and accumulate cryptocurrencies, the SEC, CFTC, Nasdaq, IRS or other governmental
or quasi-governmental agency or organization may conclude that our activities involve the offer or sale of “securities,” or
ownership of “investment securities,” and we may be subject to regulation or registration requirements under various federal
laws and related rules. Such regulation or the inability to meet the requirements to continue operations, would have a material adverse
effect on our business and operations. We may also face similar issues with various state securities regulators who may interpret our
actions as subjecting it to regulation, or requiring registration, under state securities laws, banking laws, or money transmitter and
similar laws, which are also an unsettled area or regulation that exposes us to unforeseen risks.
Regulatory
changes or actions may restrict the use of cryptocurrencies or the operation of cryptocurrency networks in a manner that may require us
to cease certain or all operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Recently, there has been
a significant amount of regulatory attention directed toward cryptocurrencies, cryptocurrency networks and other industry participants
by United States federal and state governments, foreign governments and self-regulatory agencies. For example, as cryptocurrencies such
as Bitcoin have grown in popularity and in market size, the Federal Reserve Board, U.S. Congress and certain U.S. agencies (e.g., FinCEN,
the SEC, the CFTC and the Federal Bureau of Investigation) have begun to examine the operations of the Bitcoin network, Bitcoin users
and Bitcoin exchange markets.
In addition, local state
regulators such as the Texas State Securities Board, the Massachusetts Securities Division of the Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth,
the New Jersey Bureau of Securities, the North Carolina Secretary of State’s Securities Division and the Vermont Department of Financial
Regulation have initiated actions against, and investigations of, individuals and companies involved in cryptocurrencies.
Also, in March 2018,
the South Carolina Attorney General Office’s Security Division issued a cease-and-desist order against Genesis Mining and Swiss
Gold Global, Inc., stating that both companies were to stop doing business in South Carolina and are permanently barred from offering
securities in the state in the future since they offered unregistered securities via cloud mining contracts under the South Carolina Uniformed
Securities Act of 2005, S.C. Code Ann. § 35-1-101, et seq. (the order against Genesis Mining was subsequently withdrawn).
Further, the North Carolina
Secretary of State’s Securities Division issued in March 2018 a Temporary Cease and Desist Order against Power Mining Pool
(made permanent pursuant to a Final Order on April 19, 2018), ordering it to cease and desist, among other things, offering “mining
pool shares,” which were deemed “securities” under N.C. Gen. Stat. 78A-2(11), in North Carolina until they are registered
with the North Carolina Secretary of State or are offered for sale pursuant to an exemption from registration under the North Carolina
Securities Act, N.C. Gen. Stat. Chapter 78A.
Furthermore, it is possible
that laws, regulations or directives that affect cryptocurrencies, cryptocurrency transaction processing or blockchain server hosting
may change in a manner that may adversely affect our ability to conduct our business and operations in the relevant jurisdiction.
Governments may in the future take regulatory
actions that prohibit or severely restrict the right to acquire, own, hold, sell, use or trade cryptocurrencies or to exchange cryptocurrencies
for fiat currency. Ownership of, holding or trading in cryptocurrencies may then be considered illegal and subject to sanction. Governments
may also take regulatory action that may increase the cost and/or subject cryptocurrency mining companies to additional regulation.
By extension, similar actions
by governments may result in the restriction of the acquisition, ownership, holding, selling, use or trading in the capital stock of cryptocurrency
mining companies, including our common stock. Such a restriction could result in us liquidating our cryptocurrency inventory at unfavorable
prices and may adversely affect our shareholders. The effect of any regulatory change, either by federal, state, local or foreign governments
or any self-regulatory agencies, on us or is impossible to predict, but such change could be substantial and may require us to cease certain
or all operations and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
-17-
Current
and future legislation and rulemaking regarding cryptocurrencies may result in extraordinary, non-recurring expenses and could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Current and future legislation
and rulemaking by the CFTC and SEC or other regulators, including interpretations released by a regulatory authority, may impact the manner
in which cryptocurrencies are treated. For example, cryptocurrencies derivatives are not excluded from the definition of “commodity
future” by the CFTC. Furthermore, according to the CFTC, cryptocurrencies fall within the definition of a commodity under the Commodities
Exchange Act (the “CEA”) and as a result, We may be required to register and comply with additional regulations under the
CEA, including additional periodic reporting and disclosure standards and requirements. We may also be required to register as a commodity
pool operator and to register as a commodity pool with the CFTC through the National Futures Association. If we are required to register
with the CFTC or another governmental or self-regulatory authority, the scope of our business and operations may be constrained by the
rules of such authority and it may be forced to incur additional expenses in the form of licensing fees, professional fees and other costs
of compliance.
The SEC has issued guidance
and made numerous statements regarding the application of securities laws to cryptocurrencies. For example, on July 25, 2017, the
SEC issued a Report of Investigation (the “Report”) which concluded that tokens offered and sold by the Decentralized Autonomous
Organization (“DAO”), a digital decentralized autonomous organization and investor-directed venture capital fund for cryptocurrencies,
were issued for the purpose of raising funds. The Report concluded that these tokens were “investment contracts” within the
meaning of Section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act and Section 3(a)(10) of the Exchange Act, and therefore securities subject
to the federal securities laws. In December 2017, the SEC issued a cease-and-desist letter to Munchee Inc., ordering that the company
stop its initial coin offering of MUN Tokens on the grounds that it failed to file a registration statement or qualify for an exemption
from registration. Similar to the tokens issued by the DAO, the SEC found that the MUN Tokens satisfied the definition of an “investment
contract,” and were therefore subject to the federal securities laws. In February 2018, both the SEC and CFTC further reiterated
their concerns regarding cryptocurrencies in written testimony to the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee. On March 7,
2018, the SEC released a “Statement on Potentially Unlawful Online Platforms for Trading Digital Assets,” and reiterated that,
if a platform “offers trading of cryptocurrencies that are securities” and “operates as ‘exchange,’ as defined
by the federal securities laws,” the platform must register with the SEC as a national securities exchange or be exempt from registration.
The SEC’s statement serves as a notice to operators of any platforms, including secondary market trading platforms, which the SEC
is actively monitoring for potentially fraudulent or manipulative behavior in the market for security tokens, as the SEC has cautioned
recently in the context of ICOs. On November 16, 2018, the SEC released a “Statement on Digital Asset Securities Issuance and
Trading,” and emphasized that market participants must adhere to the SEC’s well-established and well-functioning federal securities
law framework when dealing with technological innovations, regardless of whether the securities are issued in certificated form or using
new technologies, such as blockchain. This has all been followed by additional statements and guidance from the SEC including no-action
letters relating to specific blockchain-based projects, and a Framework for “Investment Contract” Analysis of Digital Assets
published by the Division of Corporation Finance on April 3, 2019. In an August 2021 interview, SEC Chairman Gensler signaled
the SEC is contemplating a robust regulatory regime for cryptocurrencies and reiterated the SEC’s position that many cryptocurrencies
are unregulated securities.
The SEC has been active in
asserting its jurisdiction over ICOs and cryptocurrencies and in bringing enforcement cases. The SEC has directed enforcement activity
toward cryptocurrencies, and more specifically, ICOs. In September 2017, the SEC created a new division known as the “Cyber
Unit” to address, among other things, violations involving distributed ledger technology and ICOs, and filed a civil complaint in
the Eastern District of New York charging a businessman and two companies with defrauding investors in a pair of so-called ICOs purportedly
backed by investments in real estate and diamonds (see Securities and Exchange Commission v. REcoin Group Foundation, LLC, et al., Civil
Action NO. 17-cv- 05725 (E.D.N.Y, filed Sept. 29, 2017)). Subsequently, the SEC has filed several orders instituting cease-and-desist
proceedings against (i) Carrier EQ, Inc., d/b/a AirFox and Paragon Coin, Inc. in connection with their unregistered offerings of
tokens (see CarrierEQ, Inc., Rel. No. 33-10575 (Nov. 16, 2018) and Paragon Coin, Inc., Rel. No. 33-10574 (Nov. 16, 2018), respectively),
(ii) Crypto Asset Management, LP for failing to register a hedge fund formed for the purpose of investing in cryptocurrencies as
an investment company (see Crypto Asset Management, LP and Timothy Enneking, Rel. No. 33-10544 (Sept. 11, 2018)), (iii) TokenLot
LLC for failing to register as a broker-dealer, even though it did not meet the definition of an exchange (see Tokenlot LLC, Lenny Kugel,
and EliL. Lewitt, Rel. No. 33-10543 (Sept. 11, 2018)) and (iv) EtherDelta’s founder for failing either to register as a national
securities exchange or to operate pursuant to an exemption from registration as an exchange after creating a platform that clearly fell
within the definition of an exchange (see Zachary Coburn, Rel. No. 34- 84553 (Nov. 8, 2018)).
On June 4, 2019, the
SEC filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Kik Interactive, Inc. with respect to its
September 2017 offering of Kin. According to articles published by various news outlets, the SEC has allegedly issued numerous subpoenas
and information requests to technology companies, advisers and individuals involved in the cryptocurrency space and ICOs, as part of a
broad inquiry into the cryptocurrency market.
Recently, a number of proposed
ICOs have sought to rely on Regulation A and have filed with the SEC a Form 1-A covering a distribution of a digital token. Two such
offerings were qualified in July 2019. In addition, some token offerings have been commenced as private securities offerings intended
to be exempt from SEC registration. Further, the SEC has yet to approve listing and trading any exchange-traded products (such as ETFs)
holding cryptocurrencies. The SEC has taken various actions against persons or entities that have allegedly misused cryptocurrencies,
engaged in fraudulent schemes (i.e., Ponzi scheme) and/or engaged in the sale of tokens that were deemed securities by the SEC.
Although our activities are
not focused on raising capital or assisting others that do so, the federal securities laws are very broad. We cannot provide assurance
as to whether the SEC will continue or increase its enforcement with respect to cryptocurrencies or ICOs, including taking enforcement
action against any person engaged in the sale of unregistered securities in violation of the Securities Act or any person acting as an
unregistered investment company in violation of the Investment Company Act. Because the SEC has held that certain cryptocurrencies are
securities based on the current rules and law, we may be required to register and comply with the rules and regulations under federal
securities laws.
We cannot be certain as to
how future regulatory developments will impact the treatment of cryptocurrencies under the law, including, but not limited to, whether
cryptocurrencies will be classified as a security, commodity, currency and/or new or other existing classification. Such additional regulations
may result in extraordinary, non-recurring expenses, thereby materially and adversely affecting investment in us. If we determines not
to comply with such additional regulatory and registration requirements, it may seek to cease certain or all of our planned operations.
Any such action could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Federal
or state agencies may impose additional regulatory burdens on our business. Changing laws and regulations and changing enforcement policies
and priorities have the potential to cause additional expenditures, restrictions, and delays in connection with our intended business
operations.
Federal
and state laws and regulations may be subject to change or changes in enforcement policies or priorities, including changes that may result
from changes in the political landscape and changing technologies.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS
The following discussion of our financial condition
and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included in this Offering
Circular. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results
could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statement.
Overview
We have not commenced operations. The company plans to build
a 14 MW Bitcoin mining facility in Georgia U.S. specifically designed for hosting cryptocurrency mining equipment and mining Bitcoin
for our own account. We have not had any related discussions or negotiations with third parties. We do not plan to have such disucussions
unless we have a successful capital raise.
Cryptocurrency mining
(e.g. bitcoin mining) entails running ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) servers or other specialized servers which solve
a set of prescribed complex mathematical calculations in order to add a block to a blockchain and thereby confirm digital asset transactions.
A party which is successful in adding a block to the blockchain is awarded a fixed number of digital assets in return.
1. Nature of Our Crypto Mining Operation:
Our crypto mining operation will focus on the process of
validating transactions on blockchain networks using high-powered ASIC computers. We plan to purchase the Antminer S19 XP mining machine.
Each machine costs about $7,000. We do not know how many machines we can purchase since the number of machines that we purchase would
be determined by our capital raise. Mining involves solving complex mathematical puzzles, and in return, miners are rewarded with newly
created cryptocurrency coins and transaction fees. Key aspects of our operation:
• Mining Hardware: We will invest in mining hardware,
including ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) miners for Bitcoin.
• Mining Pools: To increase our chances of earning
rewards consistently, we may join or create mining pools. These pools combine the hashing power of multiple miners, leading to more frequent
payouts.
• Energy Efficiency: We will prioritize energy-efficient
mining practices and potentially explore renewable energy sources in the future to minimize operational costs and environmental impact.
We expect in the state of Georgia to pay industrial rate of $0.0598 per kilowatt-hour (kWh)1. While grid power might be more
expensive compared to renewable sources like hydroelectric or solar power, it offers stability and constant availability, reducing
the risk of interruptions in mining operations.
2. Location in Atlanta, Georgia, and Unique Advantages:
Atlanta, Georgia, offers several advantages for your crypto
mining operation:
• Access to Power: Georgia has a reliable and relatively
low-cost energy supply, making it an attractive location for energy-intensive operations like cryptocurrency mining.
• Climate: Atlanta's climate is temperate, with
mild winters and moderate summers. This climate is favorable for maintaining optimal operating temperatures for mining equipment, reducing
cooling costs.
• Tech Hub: Atlanta is known for its growing technology
sector, providing access to a skilled workforce and potential partnerships with tech companies specializing in blockchain and cryptocurrency
technology.
• Proximity to Infrastructure: Atlanta's well-developed
infrastructure includes data centers and internet connectivity hubs, ensuring stable and high-speed internet access, crucial for crypto
mining operations.
• Regulatory Environment: Georgia has relatively
favorable regulations for cryptocurrency businesses, providing legal clarity and stability for our operation.
We own no real estate. Since inception December 1, 2020,
we have generated no revenue and have begun a business plan to mine cryptocurrency. We had general expenses of $9,550 with a net loss
in the amount of ($9550) for the most recent fiscal quarterly period ended September 30, 2023. We had $18,507 and $8,407 in general expenses
for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 respectively. We had net losses of ($18,507) and ($8,407) for the fiscal years
ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 respectively. Our expenses are primarily attributed to general and administrative expenses.
In order to implement our plan of operations for the next
twelve-month period, we require a minimum of $200,000 of funding from this offering. The number of computers that we may purchase or
lease for mining bitcoins will depend on how quickly we are able to raise funds through this offering. We expect the proceeds of this
offering will be sufficient for us to implement our business plan and that no additional equity, other than the proceeds of this offering,
will need to be raised over the next six months in order to implement our business plan.

The amounts that we actually spend for any specific
purpose may vary significantly, and will depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the amount of money that we actually
receive from this offering, the pace of progress of our development efforts, actual needs with respect to product testing, research and
development, market conditions, and changes in or revisions to our marketing strategies, as well as any legal or regulatory changes which
may ensue. You will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the proceeds of any sale of our common
stock.
Please see our Use of Proceeds section on Page
21 which shows the allocation of proceeds if 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of our securities are sold.
If management is unable to implement our proposed
business plan or employ alternative financing strategies, it does not presently have any alternative proposals. In that event, investors
should anticipate that their investment may be lost and there may be no ability to profit from this investment.
We cannot assure you that our planned mining operation
for bitcoin or any other digital coin will ever happen or that we will ever earn revenues sufficient to support our operations or that
we will ever be profitable. Furthermore, since we have no committed source of financing, we cannot assure you that we will be able to
raise money as and when we need it to continue our operations. If we cannot raise funds as and when we need them, we may be required to
severely curtail, or even to cease our operations.
Results of Operations
We recently have begun to implement our business plan
and do not plan to have any revenue for at least 12 months.
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have the following contractual obligations:
1) Pacific Stock Transfer Corporation -Transfer Agent
pursuant to Registrar Agreement.
We do not have any off
balance sheet arrangements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2023, our current assets consisted
of cash in the amount of $0. Our current liabilities at September 30, 2023 were $40,714.
As of June 30, 2023, our current assets consisted
of cash in the amount of $0. Our current liabilities at June 30, 2023 totaled $31,164.
As of June 30, 2022, our current assets consisted
of cash in the amount of $0. Our current liabilities at June 30, 2022 totaled $12,657.
Our ability to successfully execute our business plan
is contingent upon us obtaining additional financing and/or upon realizing sales revenue sufficient to fund our ongoing expenses. Until
we are able to sustain our ongoing operations through sales revenue, we intend to fund operations through debt and/or equity financing
arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund our capital expenditures, working capital, or other cash requirements.
Our registered public accounting firm have issued,
in their audit report, a going concern opinion reflecting a conclusion that our operations may not be able to continue because of a lack
of financial resources. The accompanying 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 Company has no revenue and no cash. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the Company had a net loss of ($8,407) and
an accumulated deficit of ($13,992). These factors among others raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as
a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

Bitcoin
mining is a global activity. During fiscal year 2021, a majority of bitcoin mining occurred in China. After China banned bitcoin mining
in May 2021, the center of mining moved to North America. Although bitcoin mining by its nature is not a directly competitive business,
all miners compete for bitcoin rewards; based on this, we define competitors as other bitcoin miners. Our competitors include large, publicly-listed
mining companies, large private mining companies, and, in some cases, independent, individual miners who pool resources. Within North
America, our major competitors include:
•Marathon
Digital Holdings
•
Riot Blockchain, Inc.
•
Core Scientific, Inc.
•
Bitfarms LTD.
•
Iris Energy Limited
In
addition to the foregoing, we compete with other companies that focus all or a portion of their activities on mining activities at scale.
We face significant competition in certain operational aspects of our business, including, but not limited to, the acquisition of new
miners, obtaining low cost electricity, obtaining clean energy sources, obtaining access to energy sites with reliable sources of power,
and evaluating new technology developments in the industry.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Business
As
used in this Offering Circular, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” “CBLO”
and “C2 Blockchain” mean C2 Blockchain, Inc. unless otherwise indicated.
Overview
C2
Blockchain, Inc. has no operations at this time but has a definitive business plan to become a bitcoin mining company. We plan to
buy real estate in the state of Georgia and construct a warehouse for hosting a data center to include an undetermined certain
number of application specific integrated circuit miners (“ASICs”). The number of ASIC’s we purchase will be
determined by the amount of money we raise from this offering of our securities.
Background
Bitcoin
was introduced in 2008 with the goal of serving as a digital means of exchanging and storing value. Bitcoin is a form of digital currency
that depends upon a consensus-based network and a public ledger called a “blockchain”, which contains a record of every bitcoin
transaction ever processed. The bitcoin network is the first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network, powered by users participating
in the consensus protocol, with no central authority or middlemen, that has wide network participation. The authenticity of each bitcoin
transaction is protected through digital signatures that correspond with addresses of users that send and receive bitcoin. Users have
full control over remitting bitcoin from their own sending addresses. All transactions on the bitcoin blockchain are transparent, allowing
those running the appropriate software to confirm the validity of each transaction. To be recorded on the blockchain, each bitcoin transaction
is validated through a proof-of-work consensus method, which entails solving complex mathematical problems to validate transactions and
post them on the blockchain. This process is called mining. Miners are rewarded with bitcoins, both in the form of newly-created bitcoins
and fees in bitcoin, for successfully solving the mathematical problems and providing computing power to the network.
The
digital asset markets, including the market for Bitcoin specifically, have experienced extreme price volatility and several other entities
in the digital asset industry have been, and may continue to be, negatively affected, further undermining confidence in the digital assets
markets and in Bitcoin. The price for Bitcoin decreased substantially in the second half of 2022 and especially after the fallout of
FTX, reducing industrywide margins and forcing difficult decisions around the industry to halt operations temporally. Such volatility
and decrease in Bitcoin price may have a material and adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.”
We
plan to obtain bitcoin as a result of our anticipated mining operations. We plan to sell bitcoin from time to time, to support our operations
and strategic growth. We do not currently plan to engage in regular trading of bitcoin (other than as necessary to convert our bitcoin
to U.S. dollars) or to engage in hedging activities related to our holding of bitcoin; however, our decisions to hold or sell bitcoin
at any given time may be impacted by the bitcoin market, which has been historically characterized by significant volatility. We will
not use a formula or specific methodology to determine whether or when we will sell bitcoin that we hold, or the number of bitcoins we
will sell. Rather, decisions to hold or sell bitcoins will be determined by management by analyzing forecasts and monitoring the market
in real time.
The following are significant factors that we will consider
in making determinations or decisions to sell or hold bitcoin.
Our Financial Condition: We most likely will consider
selling almost immediately upon receipt to pay expenses unless we raise enough capital in our offering statement that would then give
us additional option to hold for longer period of time.
Price and Market Conditions: We will monitor the
price of Bitcoin and overall market conditions. We may decide to sell if we believe the price is high and likely to drop or hold if we
anticipate a price increase.
Mining Costs: The cost of mining Bitcoin, including
electricity, hardware, and maintenance, is a critical factor. If the cost of mining exceeds the value of Bitcoin mined, we may choose
to sell our Bitcoin to cover expenses.
Profitability: We will assess the profitability of
mining operations. This includes calculating the break-even point and evaluating whether it's more lucrative to hold Bitcoin or sell
it.
Market Sentiment: Cryptocurrency markets are heavily
influenced by sentiment. We may consider the overall sentiment and market trends to make their decisions.
Regulatory Changes: Cryptocurrency regulations can
significantly impact the market. We may consider how potential regulatory changes could affect our ability to continue mining and the
value of our Bitcoin holdings.
Tax Implications: Tax considerations can be significant.
We will assess any tax liabilities associated with selling Bitcoin and factor this into our decisions.
The expected average period between our receipt of bitcoin
and subsequent conversion into fiat currency may vary widely depending on certain factors and our financial condition as follows.
Immediate Conversion: We may choose to convert our
mined bitcoin into fiat currency almost immediately upon receipt. This is most likely to be the case if we need to cover mining expenses,
pay bills, or prefer the stability of fiat currency. In this scenario, the period could be very short, perhaps a day or less. We will
incur trading fees. Trading fees will be charged when we buy or sell cryptocurrencies on a crypto exchange. They typically depend on
the trading volume and the trading pairs. Trading fees range from 0.1% to as low as 0.02% for high-volume traders. We may incur withdrawal
fees as high as 1%. These fees are incurred when miners transfer their cryptocurrency from an exchange to an external wallet or another
exchange. The fee amount varies depending on the specific cryptocurrency being withdrawn and the exchange's policies.
Holding for Investment: We may choose to hold our
mined bitcoin in crypto form with the expectation that the value will appreciate over time. In this case, the period could be much longer,
potentially years. However, this scenario is unlikely unless we are able sell our securities in our offering statement and raise substantial
capital to cover mining expenses and bills.
We have no plans as of this date to trade our crypto assets
for other crypto assets on a centralized or decentralized exchange or at any time in the future.
Bitcoin’s price as of November
9, 2023 was at a current level of approximately $35,000 and up from $21,282.99 one year ago5. That is an increase of 60.81%
from one year ago. The highest Bitcoin price ever was $68,789 that occurred on November 10, 2021. We expect in the state of Georgia to
pay industrial rate of $0.0598 per kilowatt-hour (kWh)1. The mining operation will utilize the latest generation of ASIC (Application-
Specific Integrated Circuit) miners, specifically the Bitmain Antminer S19 XP model. These miners are highly specialized and designed
to efficiently mine cryptocurrencies that use the SHA-256 algorithm, such as Bitcoin. The S19 XP has a reference power efficiency
of 21.50 J/TH. The energy consumption of ASIC S19 series miners vary depending on their efficiency and the power settings used.
Each individual S19 XP miner typically consumes around 3010 Watts of electricity when running at maximum capacity.
Wattage (W). A watt is a unit of
power. Power is a measure of the rate at which energy flows. Watts are a similar measurement to kilometers-per-hour as they indicate
how fast electrons are travelling. One watt is equivalent to electricity flowing at a rate of one joule per second in the metric system.
KiloWatt-Hour (kWh)
kWh is a measure of energy (Involves Power &Time).
Energy is defined as the capacity to do work, such as hashing
(mining). If we run a 3,010-watt S19 XP for one hour, then we used 3,010 watt-hours, or 3.010 kWh. In other words, 3.010 kWh is the amount
of energy we need to run one S19 XP for an hour.
Assuming the miner(s) run for 24 hours a day:
Total energy consumption in kWh = Total power consumption
in kW * Hours of operation
Total energy consumption in kWh of a single ASIC S19 XP
miner = 3.010 kW * 24 hours Total energy consumption in kWh = 72.24 kWh
The total cost per day to run one ASIC S19 XP miner = 72.24
kWh * $.06/kWh = $4.3344
Antminer S19 XP Profitability and Price
At an approximate BTC price of $41,000, electricity price
of $0.06 kWh, hash rate of 140 TH/s, each Antminer S19 XP generates about $6.08 in earnings per day, $312.35 earnings per month or $2,218.24
in earnings per year. Estimated time line for return on investment for each Antminer S19 XP or breakeven point is approximately 3.16
years. Our break-even analysis in the tables below shows the estimated profit or loss for various durations utilizing both cash method
of accounting and straight-line depreciation, see also our Risk Factors, Page 6. Our operating results will vary widely based on how
many machines that we can purchase, BTC price, electricity costs, transactional exchange fees, network hash rate, and other miscellaneous
mining-related expenses. We plan only to mine Bitcoin. The cost of mining consists primarily of electricity costs. Other costs include
installment fees, internet services and other necessary services to maintain the operation of the mining equipment. The depreciation
expenses are the sunk cost to the mining operation, estimated to be 15% per year for each machine. We assumed no salvage value after
life expectancy of 2.5 years under the table for straight line depreciation.
Our Bitcoin Economics section below further describes the
estimate cost and revenue to mine one bitcoin.

Bitcoin
Mining Economics
To illustrate the
financial considerations involved in Bitcoin mining, we look at the estimated costs and revenue for mining one Bitcoin with one ASIC
miner based on recent Network and Cost Assumptions. As of now, the rate of new Bitcoin creation is set at 6.25 BTC per block, which
equates to approximately one block every ten minutes. This means that roughly 900 new BTC are generated daily.

Hashes required
to mine one Bitcoin:
= Network hash rate * Seconds per day / Bitcoin mined per day (including
fee)
= 542 EH/s * 86,400 seconds / 900 BTC = ~52,032 EH / BTC
Time taken for an ASIC miner to mine one Bitcoin:
= ~52,032 EH * 10^6 / (140 TH/s * 60 seconds * 60 minutes * 24 hours
* 365 days) = ~1.8 years
Note: The 10^6 above is used to convert exahashes (EH) to terahashes
(TH)
Capital expenses (CapEx):
Bitcoin mined per ASIC lifetime = 2.5 years / ~1.8 years = ~1.39 BTC
Effective price per Bitcoin = Price of ASIC miner / Bitcoins mined
in its lifetime
= $7,000 / ~1.39BTC = ~$5,036
Operational expenses (OpEx):
Electricity cost per Bitcoin = Time required to mine one Bitcoin *
Energy consumption * Cost = ~1.8 years * 365 days * 24 hours * 3,010 W * $0.06 / 1,000 = ~$2,848
Cooling and other overheads per Bitcoin = 20% of electricity cost =
~$570
Note: The 1,000 above is used to convert watts (W) to kilowatts (kW).
With these underlying assumptions, the total cost of production per
Bitcoin is:
= CapEx + electricity + other OpEx per Bitcoin
= $5,036 + $2,848 + $570
= $8,454
Note: Totals have been rounded, and figures are approximate. Cost does
not consider network hash rate growth.
Bitcoin Network Hash Rate is up 17.36% recently and
97.51% from one year ago, see hash rate definition in our Glossary of Defined Terms on Page 2 of Offering Circular Summary.
In our hypothetical single-ASIC operation, our cost of production is
approximately $8,454 per Bitcoin. Compare this to the cost of acquiring one Bitcoin on the spot market, where it costs about $41,000
as of January 2024, and for that reason we believe that we will be generating revenue under these operating assumptions.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The Company is quoted at this time in the OTC MarketPlace
under the ticker symbol CBLO, and there is a limited established market for our stock. The offering price range of the shares has been
determined arbitrarily by us. The offering price range does not bear any relationship to our assets, book value, earnings, or other established
criteria for valuing a privately held company. In determining the number of shares to be offered and the offering price, we took into
consideration our capital structure and the amount of money we would need to implement our business plans. Accordingly, the offering price
should not be considered an indication of the actual value of our securities.
There is no assurance that our common stock will trade
at market prices in excess of our offering price as prices for the common stock in any public market which may or may not develop further
will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity of the market for the common
stock, investor perception of us and general economic and market conditions.
DILUTION
Purchasers of our common stock in this Offering will experience an immediate dilution
of net tangible book value per share from the public offering price. Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference
between the amount per share paid by the purchasers of shares of common stock and the net tangible book value per share immediately after
this Offering. However, below we have provided an estimate based on a maximum offering price of $.30 per share as of June 7, 2023 assuming
the maximum amount of proceeds in the amount of $60,000,000 are received by the Company.
The following table illustrates the dilution to the purchasers of the common stock
sold in this offering based on the maximum offering price of $.30 per share if 100%, 50% and 25% of the maximum number of shares offered
are sold, not to exceed $60,000,000 in gross proceeds.
The values in the table immediately following are
rounded to the nearest thousandths place.

In connection with the Company’s selling

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
We have authorized capital stock consisting of the following. The total number of shares of capital
stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is: five hundred twenty million (520,000,000). These shares shall be divided
into two classes with five hundred million (500,000,000) shares designated as common stock at $.001 par value (the "Common Stock") and
twenty million (20,000,000) shares designated as preferred stock at $.001 par value (the "Preferred Stock").The Preferred Stock of the
Corporation shall be issuable by authority of the Board of Director(s) of the Corporation in one or more classes or one or more series
within any class and such classes or series shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations,
preferences, limitations or restrictions as the Board of Directors of the Corporation may determine, from time to time.
Common Stock
The holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends
out of assets or funds legally available for the payment of dividends of such times and in such amounts as the board from time to time
may determine. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders.
We have cumulative voting for the election of directors then standing for election. The Common Stock is not entitled to pre-emptive rights
and is not subject to conversion or redemption. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, the assets legally available
for distribution to stockholders are distributable ratably among the holders of the Common Stock after payment of liquidation preferences,
if any, on any outstanding payment of other claims of creditors. We have no shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
Preferred Stock
We have no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.
Options and Warrants
None.
Convertible Notes
None.
Dividend Policy
We have not paid any cash dividends to shareholders. The declaration of any future cash dividends
is at the discretion of our board of directors and depends upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position,
general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable
future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.
Transfer Agent
Pacific Stock Transfer Company is our transfer agent. Their address is 6725 Via Austi Parkway, Suite
300, Las Vegas, NV 89119.
Penny Stock Regulation
We are quoted and traded in the OTC MarketPlace under the ticker symbol CBLO and are subject to
penny stock regulation. The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that
has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share. Such securities are subject
to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell them. For transactions covered by these rules,
the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received the purchaser’s
written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the
rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market.
The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations
for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s
presumed control over the market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information
for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. As the Shares immediately following this
Offering will likely be subject to such penny stock rules, purchasers in this Offering will in all likelihood find it more difficult to
sell their Shares in the secondary market.
INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
The validity of the shares of common stock offered
hereby will be passed upon for us by Carl Ranno, attorney at law.
The financial statements included in this offering circular and the offering
statement have been audited by BF Borgers CPA PC, certified public accountants, to the extent and for the periods set forth in their report
appearing elsewhere herein and in the offering statement, and are included in reliance upon such report given upon the authority of said
firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

of Hemp Naturals, Inc. since November 13, 2015.
Corporate Governance

Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Company; and strives to be compliant

Committees of the Board
Our Company currently does not have nominating, compensation, or audit committees
or committees performing similar functions nor does our Company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our
sole Director believes that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the Director(s) can adequately perform
the functions of such committees.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our sole Director has determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies
as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(D)(5) of Regulation S-K, nor do we have a Board member that
qualifies as “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and as defined by Rule 4200(a)(14) of the FINRA Rules.
We believe that the sole Director is capable of analyzing and evaluating our
financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The sole Director of the Company does
not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because management believes that the Board of Directors can adequately perform
the functions of an audit committee. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent Director who would qualify as an "audit
committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the stage of
our development and the fact that we have not generated any positive cash flows from operations to date.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
Our Director and our Executive officers have not been involved in any of the
following events during the past ten years:
1. |
bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; |
2. |
any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); |
3. |
being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his/her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or |
4. |
being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated. |
5. |
Such person was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commission to have violated any Federal or State securities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated; |
6. |
Such person was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated any Federal commodities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated; |
7. |
Such person was the subject of, or a party to, any Federal or State judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of:(i) Any Federal or State securities or commodities law or regulation; or(ii) Any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order; or(iii) Any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or |
8. |
Such person was the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(26))), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1(a)(29))), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member. |
Independence of Directors
We are not required to have independent members of our Board of Directors,
and do not anticipate having independent Directors until such time as we are required to do so.
Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a formal Code of Ethics. The Board of Directors evaluated
the business of the Company and the number of employees and determined that since the business is operated by a small number of persons,
general rules of fiduciary duty and federal and state criminal, business conduct and securities laws are adequate ethical guidelines.
In the event our operations, employees and/or Directors expand in the future, we may take actions to adopt a formal Code of Ethics.
Shareholder Proposals
Our Company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for
shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for Directors. The Board of Directors believes that, given the stage of our development,
a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level.
Our Company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the Board of Directors and we do
not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The Board of Directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted
by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.
A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our Board of Directors may do
so by directing a written request addressed to our President, at the address appearing on the first page of this Information Statement.
E XECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Mr. Jacobson, our sole officer and director received
compensation in the amount of 200,000,000 common shares, par value $.001 of our Predecessor’s common stock known as American Estate
Management Company that subsequently were exchanged for an equivalent amount of shares of C2 Blockchain, Inc. pursuant to a holding company
reorganization completed on April 1, 2022. There is no option or non-cash compensation plan at this time. No amounts are paid or payable
to the director for acting as such. No Board committees have been established. Due to no operations, the entire Board of Directors functions
as the audit committee; Mr. Jacobson is not a “financial expert” as defined in Regulation S-K 407. We have no independent
director.
The following table sets forth the compensation of
the Company's sole executive officer for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

*Mendel
Holdings LLC is an entity wholly owned by Levi Jacobson, our sole director. Mr. Jacobson is deemed to be the indirect and beneficial
owner of these shares since he has voting and investment control over the shares.
**Kron
Tomas Purna Ltd is a Cyprus company that is believed to be dissolved in 2016. The Company was owned and controlled by Nikos Chrysanthou
according to Cyprus Department of Registrar of Companies and Official Receiver.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED
TRANSACTIONS
Loan
The
Company’s sole officer and director, Levi Jacobson, paid expenses on behalf of the company totaling $9,550 during the period ended
September 30, 2023. These payments are considered as a loan to the Company which is noninterest-bearing, unsecured and payable on demand.
As of September 30, 2023, the related party loan to the Company totaled $40,714.
The
Company’s sole officer and director, Levi Jacobson, paid expenses on behalf of the company totaling $18,507 during the period ended
June 30, 2023. These payments are considered as a loan to the Company which is noninterest-bearing, unsecured and payable on demand.
As of June 30, 2023, the related party loan to the Company totaled $31,164.
Director Independence
Currently, the Company does not have any independent directors. Since the
Company’s Common Stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence”
of the NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination.
Under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2), an "independent director"
is a "person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion
of the company's board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of
a director."
We do not currently have a separately designated audit,
nominating or compensation committee. However, we do intend to comply with the independent director and committee composition requirements
in the future.
Review, Approval and Ratification of Related Party Transactions
Given our small size and limited financial resources, we have not adopted formal
policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification of transactions, such as those described above, with our executive officer(s),
Director(s) and significant stockholders. We intend to establish formal policies and procedures in the future, once we have sufficient
resources and have appointed additional Directors, so that such transactions will be subject to the review, approval or ratification of
our Board of Directors, or an appropriate committee thereof. On a moving forward basis, our Directors will continue to approve any related
party transaction.

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To
the stockholders and the board of directors of C2 Blockchain, Inc.
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying balance sheets of C2 Blockchain, Inc. as of the year ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, the related
statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively
referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Company as of the year ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Substantial
Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note
3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In
addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's
financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or
fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes
to the Audited Financial Statements
Notes to Audited Financial
Statements For Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2023
Note 1 - Organization and Description
of Business
C2 Blockchain, Inc. was incorporated on June 30, 2021 in the State
of Nevada.
On June 30, 2021, Levi Jacobson was appointed Chief Executive
Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Director of C2 Blockchain, Inc.
On March 31, 2022, the Company entered into a “Agreement and Plan
of Merger”, whereas it agreed to, and subsequently participated in, a Nevada holding company reorganization pursuant to NRS 92A.180,
NRS 92A.200, NRS 92A.230 and NRS 92A.250 (“Reorganization”). The constituent corporations in the Reorganization were American
Estate Management Company (“AEMC” or “Predecessor”), C2 Blockchain, Inc. (“Successor” or “CBLO”),
and AEMC Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”). Our director is, and was, the sole director/officer of each constituent corporation
in the Reorganization.
C2 Blockchain, Inc. issued 1,000 common shares of its common stock to Predecessor
and Merger Sub issued 1,000 shares of its common stock to C2 Blockchain, Inc. immediately prior to the Reorganization. As such, immediately
prior to the merger, C2 Blockchain, Inc. became a wholly owned direct subsidiary of American Estate Management Company and Merger Sub
became a wholly owned and direct subsidiary of C2 Blockchain, Inc.
On March 31, 2022, Merger Sub filed Articles of Merger with the Nevada
Secretary of State. The merger became effective on April 1, 2022 at 4:00 PM PST (“Effective Time”). At the Effective Time,
Predecessor was merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger), and Predecessor became the surviving corporation. Each share of Predecessor
common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
share of C2 Blockchain, Inc.’s (“Successors”) common stock.
On May 23, 2022, C2 Blockchain,
Inc., as successor issuer to American Estate Management Company began a quoted market in its common stock which was the market effective
date for our corporate action.
On April 1, 2022, after the completion of the Holding Company Reorganization,
we cancelled all of the stock we held in AEMC resulting in AEMC as a stand-alone company. Pursuant to the holding company merger agreement
and effects of merger, all of the assets and liabilities, if any, remain with AEMC after the Reorganization. Levi Jacobson, the Director
of AEMC, did not discover any assets of AEMC from the time he was appointed Director until the completion of the Reorganization and subsequent
separation of AEMC as a stand-alone company.
Given that the former business plan and objectives of AEMC and the present
day business plan and objectives of CBLO substantially differ from one another, we conducted the corporate separation with AEMC immediately
after the effective time of the Reorganization in order to avoid any shareholder confusion. The former business plan of AEMC under the
leadership of its former directors, does not, in any way, represent the current day business plan of CBLO. The result of corporate separation
ameliorated shareholder confusion about our identity and/or corporate objectives. Furthermore, we wanted to continue trading in the OTC
MarketPlace.
On April 1, 2022, the Company transmuted its business plan from that of
a blank check shell company to a business combination related shell company with a holding company formation pursuant to a reorganization
with American Estate Management Company.
FINRA completed its review of our corporate action pursuant to our Reorganization.
On April 26, 2022, CBLO was given a CUSIP number by CUSIP Global Services of 12675R 109. The announcement of our Predecessor’s corporate
action was posted on the FINRA daily list on May 20, 2022. The Market Effective date was May 23, 2022.
Our Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTC Markets Group Inc’s
Pink® Open Market under the symbol “CBLO”.
After completion of the Holding Company Reorganization and separation
of AEMC as a wholly owned subsidiary, the Company reverted back to a blank check shell company.
Currently, we no longer believe we are deemed to be a blank
check shell company, but rather a cryptocurrency mining company. The Company’s business plan is to concentrate on cryptocurrency
mining, for Bitcoin and for our own account. We have not commenced our planned principal operations.
Currently, Mendel Holdings, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company,
owned and controlled by Levi Jacobson, our sole director is our controlling shareholder, owning 200,000,000 shares of our common stock
representing approximately 78.76 % voting control.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company
had not yet commenced any operations.
The Company has elected June 30th
as its year end.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
This summary of significant accounting
policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles,
generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order
to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly
liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents
at June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 were $0.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes
under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing
assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A
valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets
through future operations. No deferred tax assets or liabilities were recognized at June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022.
Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes basic and diluted
earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed
by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings
(loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised
or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company.
The Company does not have any potentially
dilutive instruments as of June 30, 2023 and, thus, anti-dilution issues are not applicable.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s
balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their
fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an
exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions
developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about
market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair
value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy
are described below:
- Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices
in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
- Level 2 - 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 or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are
not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are
derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
- Level 3 - Inputs that are both
significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
Fair value estimates discussed herein
are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2023. The respective carrying
value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
These financial instruments include accrued expenses.

Table of Contents
Related Parties
The Company follows ASC 850, Related
Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Share-Based Compensation
ASC 718, “Compensation –
Stock Compensation”, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee
services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments
such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee
stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized
over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period
(usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for stock-based
compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, “Equity – Based Payments
to Non-Employees.” Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value
of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value
of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
The Company had no
stock-based compensation plans as of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022.
The Company’s stock-based compensation
for the periods ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 was $0 for both periods.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 is amended by ASU 2018-01, ASU2018-10, ASU
2018-11, ASU 2018-20 and ASU 2019-01, which FASB issued in January 2018, July 2018, July 2018, December 2018 and March 2019, respectively
(collectively, the amended ASU 2016-02). The amended ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet a right-of-use asset,
representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a lease liability for all leases with terms greater than 12
months. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly
changed from current GAAP. The amended ASU 2016-02 retains a distinction between finance leases (i.e. capital leases under current GAAP)
and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases will be substantially
similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases under current GAAP. The amended
ASU 2016-02 also requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures designed to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows
arising from leases. A modified retrospective transition approach is permitted to be used when an entity adopts the amended ASU 2016-02,
which includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply.
We
have no assets and or leases and do not believe we will be impacted in the foreseeable future by the newly adopted accounting standard(s)
mentioned above.
The Company has implemented all new
accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other
new pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization
of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company demonstrates adverse
conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year following the issuance
of these financial statements. These adverse conditions are negative financial trends, specifically operating loss, working capital deficiency,
and other adverse key financial ratios.
The Company has not established any
source of revenue to cover its operating costs. Management plans to fund operating expenses with related party contributions to capital.
There is no assurance that management's plan will be successful. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the
event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.
Note 4 - Income Taxes
Potential benefits of income tax
losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. In assessing
the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income
during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company has incurred a net operating loss carryforward
of $32,499 which begins expiring in 2041. The Company has adopted ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, as of its inception.
Pursuant to ASC 740 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for non-capital losses carried forward. The potential benefit
of the net operating loss has not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely
than not it will utilize the loss carried forward in future years.
Significant components of the Company’s
deferred tax assets are as follows:

On December 22, 2017,
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was signed into law. This legislation reduced the federal corporate tax rate from the previous 35% to
21%.
Due to the change
in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are
subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future
years.
Note 5 - Commitments
and Contingencies
The Company follows
ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies, to report accounting for contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies
arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability
has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. There were no commitments or contingencies as of June
30, 2023 and June 30, 2022.
Note 6 - Shareholder Equity
Preferred Stock
The authorized preferred stock of
the Company consists of 20,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001. There were no shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2023

C2 Blockchain,
Inc.
Notes
to the Unaudited Financial Statements For The Quarterly Period Ended September 30, 2023
Note 1 - Organization and Description
of Business
C2 Blockchain, Inc. was incorporated on June 30, 2021 in the State
of Nevada.
On June 30, 2021, Levi Jacobson was appointed Chief Executive Officer,
Chief Financial Officer, and Director of C2 Blockchain, Inc.
On March 31, 2022, the Company entered into a “Agreement and Plan
of Merger”, whereas it agreed to, and subsequently participated in, a Nevada holding company reorganization pursuant to NRS 92A.180,
NRS 92A.200, NRS 92A.230 and NRS 92A.250 (“Reorganization”). The constituent corporations in the Reorganization were American
Estate Management Company (“AEMC” or “Predecessor”), C2 Blockchain, Inc. (“Successor” or “CBLO”),
and AEMC Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”). Our director is, and was, the sole director/officer of each constituent corporation
in the Reorganization.
C2 Blockchain, Inc. issued 1,000 common shares of its common stock to Predecessor
and Merger Sub issued 1,000 shares of its common stock to C2 Blockchain, Inc. immediately prior to the Reorganization. As such, immediately
prior to the merger, C2 Blockchain, Inc. became a wholly owned direct subsidiary of American Estate Management Company and Merger Sub
became a wholly owned and direct subsidiary of C2 Blockchain, Inc.
On March 31, 2022, Merger Sub filed Articles of Merger with the Nevada
Secretary of State. The merger became effective on April 1, 2022 at 4:00 PM PST (“Effective Time”). At the Effective Time,
Predecessor was merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger), and Predecessor became the surviving corporation. Each share of Predecessor
common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
share of C2 Blockchain, Inc.’s (“Successors”) common stock.
On May 23, 2022, C2 Blockchain,
Inc., as successor issuer to American Estate Management Company began a quoted market in its common stock which was the market effective
date for our corporate action.
On April 1, 2022, after the completion of the Holding Company Reorganization,
we cancelled all of the stock we held in AEMC resulting in AEMC as a stand-alone company. Pursuant to the holding company merger agreement
and effects of merger, all of the assets and liabilities, if any, remain with AEMC after the Reorganization. Levi Jacobson, the Director
of AEMC, did not discover any assets of AEMC from the time he was appointed Director until the completion of the Reorganization and subsequent
separation of AEMC as a stand-alone company.
Given that the former business plan and objectives of AEMC and the present
day business plan and objectives of CBLO substantially differ from one another, we conducted the corporate separation with AEMC immediately
after the effective time of the Reorganization in order to avoid any shareholder confusion. The former business plan of AEMC under the
leadership of its former directors, does not, in any way, represent the current day business plan of CBLO. The result of corporate separation
ameliorated shareholder confusion about our identity and/or corporate objectives. Furthermore, we wanted to continue trading in the OTC
MarketPlace.
On April 1, 2022, the Company transmuted its business plan from that of
a blank check shell company to a business combination related shell company with a holding company formation pursuant to a reorganization
with American Estate Management Company.
FINRA completed its review of our corporate action pursuant to our Reorganization.
On April 26, 2022, CBLO was given a CUSIP number by CUSIP Global Services of 12675R 109. The announcement of our Predecessor’s corporate
action was posted on the FINRA daily list on May 20, 2022. The Market Effective date was May 23, 2022.
Our Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTC Markets Group Inc’s
Pink® Open Market under the symbol “CBLO”.
After completion of the Holding Company Reorganization and separation
of AEMC as a wholly owned subsidiary, the Company reverted back to a blank check shell company.
Currently, we no longer believe we are deemed to be a blank
check shell company, but rather a cryptocurrency mining company. The Company’s
business plan is to concentrate on cryptocurrency mining, for Bitcoin and for our own account. We have not commenced our planned
principal operations.
Currently, Mendel Holdings, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company,
owned and controlled by Levi Jacobson, our sole director is our controlling shareholder, owning 200,000,000 shares of our common stock
representing approximately 78.76 % voting control.
The Company has elected June 30th
as its year end.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
This summary of significant accounting
policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles,
generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order
to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly
liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents
at September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023 were $0.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes
under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing
assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A
valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets
through future operations. No deferred tax assets or liabilities were recognized at September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023.

F14-
Table of Contents
Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes basic and diluted
earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed
by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings
(loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised
or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company.
The Company does not have any potentially
dilutive instruments as of September 30, 2023 and, thus, anti-dilution issues are not applicable.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s
balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their
fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an
exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions
developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about
market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair
value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy
are described below:
- Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices
in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
- Level 2 - 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 or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are
not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are
derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
- Level 3 - Inputs that are both
significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
Fair value estimates discussed herein
are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2023. The respective carrying
value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
These financial instruments include accrued expenses.
Related Parties
The Company follows ASC 850, Related
Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Share-Based Compensation
ASC 718, “Compensation –
Stock Compensation”, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee
services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments
such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee
stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized
over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period
(usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for stock-based
compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, “Equity – Based Payments
to Non-Employees.” Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value
of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value
of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
The Company had no
stock-based compensation plans as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023.
The Company’s stock-based compensation
for the periods ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 was $0 for both periods.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 is amended by ASU 2018-01, ASU2018-10, ASU
2018-11, ASU 2018-20 and ASU 2019-01, which FASB issued in January 2018, July 2018, July 2018, December 2018 and March 2019, respectively
(collectively, the amended ASU 2016-02). The amended ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet a right-of-use asset,
representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a lease liability for all leases with terms greater than 12
months. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly
changed from current GAAP. The amended ASU 2016-02 retains a distinction between finance leases (i.e. capital leases under current GAAP)
and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases will be substantially
similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases under current GAAP. The amended
ASU 2016-02 also requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures designed to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows
arising from leases. A modified retrospective transition approach is permitted to be used when an entity adopts the amended ASU 2016-02,
which includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply.
We
have no assets and or leases and we do not believe we will be impacted in the foreseeable future by the newly adopted accounting standard(s)
mentioned above.
The Company has implemented all new
accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other
new pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
-F15-
Table of Contents
Note 3 - Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements
are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization
of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company demonstrates adverse
conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year following the issuance
of these financial statements. These adverse conditions are negative financial trends, specifically operating loss, working capital deficiency,
and other adverse key financial ratios.
The Company has not established any
source of revenue to cover its operating costs. Management plans to fund operating expenses with related party contributions to capital.
There is no assurance that management's plan will be successful. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the
event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.
Note 4 - Income Taxes
Potential benefits of income tax
losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. In assessing
the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income
during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company has incurred a net operating loss carryforward
of $32,499 which begins expiring in 2041. The Company has adopted ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, as of its inception.
Pursuant to ASC 740 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for non-capital losses carried forward. The potential benefit
of the net operating loss has not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely
than not it will utilize the loss carried forward in future years.
Significant components of the Company’s
deferred tax assets are as follows:
The reconciliation of the
effective income tax rate to the federal statutory rate is as follows:
On December 22, 2017,
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was signed into law. This legislation reduced the federal corporate tax rate from the previous 35% to
21%.
Due to the change
in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are
subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future
years.
Note 5 - Commitments
and Contingencies
The Company follows
ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies, to report accounting for contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies
arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability
has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. There were no commitments or contingencies as of September
30, 2023 and June 30, 2023.
Note 6 - Shareholder Equity

PART
III
INDEMNIFICATION
OF DIRECTOR AND OFFICERS
Section 78.751 of the Nevada Business Corporation Act (the “Nevada
Law”) authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in
terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, (including reimbursement for expenses
incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933. Article VII of the Articles of Incorporation of C2 Blockchain, Inc. “we”,
“us” or “our company”) provides for indemnification of officers, directors and other employees of C2 Blockchain,
Inc. to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada Law. Article VII of the Articles of Incorporation provides that directors shall not be
personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except (i)
for any breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to our company or our stockholders, (ii) acts and omissions that are not in good
faith or that involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (iii) or for any transaction from which the director derived
any improper benefit.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant
has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
The Nevada Law and our Articles of Incorporation, allow us to indemnify
our officers and Directors from certain liabilities and our Bylaws, as amended (“Bylaws”), state that we shall indemnify
every (i) present or former Director, advisory Director or officer of us and (ii) any person who while serving in any of the capacities
referred to in clause (i) served at our request as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, association or other enterprise. (each an “Indemnitee”).
Our Bylaws provide that the Corporation shall indemnify any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that
he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request
of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, association or
other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with which action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction
or upon plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith
and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, that he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Neither our Bylaws, nor our Articles of Incorporation include any
specific indemnification provisions for our officers or Directors against liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Additionally,
insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") may be permitted
to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

of Stockholders

from time to time by resolution of the board of directors or as shall be stated in a duly authorized notice of the meeting.
Section 1.2 Annual Meeting. The
annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held on the date and at the time
fixed, from time to time, by the board
of directors. The annual meeting shall be for the purpose of electing a board of directors
and transacting such other business as may properly
be brought before the meeting.
Section 1.3 Special Meetings. Special
meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by
statute or by the articles of incorporation, may be called by
the president and shall be called by the president or secretary if requested in
writing by the holders of not less than one-tenth (1/10) of all the shares entitled to vote
at the meeting. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of
the proposed meeting.
Section 1.4 Notices.
Written notice stating the place, date and hour of the meeting and, in
case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which
the meeting is called, shall be given not less than ten nor more than sixty days before
the date of the meeting, except as otherwise required by
statute or the articles of incorporation, either personally, by
mail or by a form of electronic transmission consented
to by the stockholder, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting.
If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be
given when deposited in the official government mail of the United States or any
other country, postage prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at his address as it appears
on the stock records of the Corporation. If given personally or otherwise than by mail,
such notice shall be deemed to be given when either handed to the stockholder or delivered
to the stockholder’s address as it
appears on the records of the Corporation.
Section 1.5 Record Date. In order
that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to
notice of or to vote at any meeting, or at any
adjournment of a meeting, of stockholders; or entitled
to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any
rights; or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion,
or exchange of stock; or for the purpose of any other lawful action; the board of directors
may fix, in advance, a record date, which record date shall not precede the date which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted
by the board of directors. The record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice
of or to vote at any meeting of the stockholders
or any adjournment thereof shall not be more than
sixty nor less than ten days before the date of
such meeting. The record date for determining the
stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting
shall not be more than ten days after the date
upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by
the board of directors. The record date for any other action shall not be more
than sixty days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, (i) the record date for
determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to
vote at any meeting shall be at the close of business on the day
next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived by
all stockholders, at the close of business on the day next
preceding the day on which the meeting

corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by
the board of directors is required, shall be the first date on which a signed written
consent setting forth the action taken or to be taken is delivered to the Corporation and,

required, shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action;
and (iii) the record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at
the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating to such
other purpose. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders

provided, however, that the board of directors may fix a new record date for
the adjourned meeting.
1
Section 1.6 Voting List. If the
Corporation shall have more than five (5) shareholders, the secretary shall prepare and make,
at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders,
a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical
order and showing the address and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder.
Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder,
for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at
least ten days prior to the meeting, at the
Corporations principal offices. The list shall be produced and kept at the place of the meeting
during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.
Section 1.7 Quorum. The holders
of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to
vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by
proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction
of business, except as otherwise provided by statute
or by the articles of incorporation. If, however, such a quorum shall not be present at any
meeting of stockholders, the stockholders entitled
to vote, present in person or represented by
proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time
to time, without notice if the time and place are announced at the meeting,
until a quorum shall be present. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present,
business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting.
If the adjournment is for more than thirty days
or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting
shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote
at the meeting.
Section 1.8 Voting and Proxies.
At every meeting of the stockholders, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote, in person
or by proxy, for each share of the capital stock
having voting power held by such stockholder, but no proxy shall be
voted on after six months from its date unless the proxy
provides for a longer period, which may not exceed seven years. When a specified item of
business is required to be voted on by a class or series of stock, the holders of a majority of the shares of such class or series shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of such item of business by that class or series.
If a quorum is present at a properly held meeting
of the shareholders, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy
and entitled to vote on the subject matter under
consideration, shall be the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater
number or voting by classes (i) is required by the articles of incorporation, or (ii) has
been provided for in an agreement among all shareholders entered into pursuant to and enforceable
under Nevada Law.
Section 1.9 Waiver.
Attendance of a stockholder of the Corporation, either in person or by proxy, at any
meeting, whether annual or special, shall constitute a waiver of notice of
such meeting, except where a stockholder attends a meeting
for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction
of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. A written waiver
of notice of any such meeting signed by a stockholder or stockholders entitled to such notice,
whether before, at or after the time for notice or the time
of the meeting, shall be equivalent to notice. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor
the purpose of, any meeting need be specified
in any written waiver of notice.
Section 1.10 Stockholder Action Without
a Meeting. Except as may otherwise be provided by any applicable provision of the Nevada
Law, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting
of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting
if, before or after the action, a written consent thereto is signed by stockholders holding
at least a majority of the voting power; provided that if a different proportion of voting
power is required for such an action at a meeting, then that proportion of written consents
is required. In no instance where action is authorized by
written consent need a meeting of stockholders be called
or noticed.

a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a director attends a meeting

a director or directors entitled to such notice, whether before, at or after the time for
notice or the time of the meeting, shall be equivalent
to the giving of such notice.
Section 2.8 Action Without
Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at
a meeting of the board of directors may be taken
without a meeting if a consent in writing setting forth
the action so taken shall be signed by all of

ARTICLE V
Indemnification
Section 5.1 Expenses for
Actions Other Than By or In the Right of
the Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative (other than an action by or in
the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer
of the Corporation, or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving
at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, venture, trust, association or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection with which action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner
he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by
judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption
that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
that he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Section 5.2 Expenses for Actions By
or In the Right of the Corporation. The Corporation shall indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to
any threatened, pending or completed action or suit
by or in the right of the Corporation to procure
a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the
Corporation, or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the
request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, association or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, if he acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, except that
no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter
as to which such person shall have been adjudged
to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such
action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication
of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court
shall deem proper.
6
Section 5.3 Successful Defense.
To the extent that any person referred to in the
preceding two sections of this Article V has been
successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any action, suit
or proceeding referred to in such sections, or in defense of any claim issue, or matter therein,
he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
Section 5.4 Determination to Indemnify.
Any indemnification under the first two sections of this Article V (unless ordered by a court)
shall be made by the Corporation only
as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the
director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he
has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth therein. Such determination shall be made (i) by the stockholders, (ii) by
the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties
to action, suit or proceeding, or (iii) if such quorum is not obtainable or, if a quorum of disinterested directors so
directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.
Section 5.5 Expense Advances. Expenses
incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding
may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or

authorizing such issue of a certificate, the board of directors may, in its discretion and
as a condition precedent to the issuance of a new certificate, require the owner of such lost,
stolen, or destroyed certificate, or his legal representative, to give the Corporation a bond in
such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may
be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of
such new certificate.

RE: Opinion to be included with an amended Form 1-A Tier 2 Offering Statement
to be filed by C2 Blockchain, Inc., a Nevada Corporation.
Dear Sir,
This opinion is submitted pursuant to Item 17.12 of Form 1-A with respect
to the proposed offering of C2 Blockchain, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (the Company) relating to the application for exemption from registration
under Section 3(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and Regulation A+ promulgated thereunder.
The Company is offering up to a maximum of 200,000,000 shares of its common
stock which will not exceed $75,000,000. The Company will provide a final fixed price in an offering circular supplement after qualification
of the offering statement by the Commission. The offering will commence no later than two business days following the earlier of the determination
of the offering price or the date the offering circular is first used after qualification by the Commission in connection with this offering
or sale. The Company will receive all of the proceeds from the sale of shares. The offering is being made on a self-underwritten,
“best efforts” basis notwithstanding shares may be sold to or through underwriters or dealers, directly to purchasers or through
agents designated from time to time. There is no minimum number of shares required to be purchased by each investor. The shares
offered by the Company will be sold on its behalf by the sole director and Chief Executive Officer, Levi Jacobson. Mr. Jacobson is
deemed to be an underwriter of this offering. He will not receive any commissions or proceeds for selling the registered shares on our
behalf. There is uncertainty that the Company will be able to sell any of the shares being offered herein by the Company.
Currently, there are 253,936,005 common shares issued and outstanding. Mr.
Jacobson indirectly owns 200,000,000 common shares of the Company by and through Mendel Holdings, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability company
whereas he is the sole member resulting in control and representing a voting percentage of 78.760 %.
The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined
in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, which became law in April 2012 and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.
For purposes of rendering this opinion, I have
examined the Offering Statement, as amended, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation filed on June 30, 2021, the Company’s
Bylaws, the Exhibits attached to the Amended Offering Statement, and such other documents and matters of law as I have deemed necessary
for the expression of the opinion herein contained. For the purposes of such examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures
on original documents and the conformity to original documents of all copies submitted. I have relied, without independent investigation,
on certificates of public officials and, as to matters of fact, material to the opinion set forth below, on certificates of officers of
the Company.
On the basis of and in reliance upon the foregoing examination and assumptions,
I am of the opinion that assuming the Amended Offering Statement shall become qualified, the Shares, when issued by the Company against
payment therefore (not less than par value) and in accordance with the Offering Statement and the provisions of the Subscription Agreements,
a form of which I have reviewed, and when duly registered on the books of the Company’s transfer agent and registrar therefor in
the name or on behalf of the purchasers, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. I express no opinion as to the laws
of any state or jurisdiction other than the applicable sections of the Nevada Business Corporation Act, as currently in effect and the
federal laws of the United States.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Offering
Statement as amended and to the reference to me under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Offering Circular constituting a
part of the Amended Offering Statement. This opinion is for your benefit in connection with the Amended Offering Statement and may be
relied upon by you and by people entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Act. In giving this consent, I
do not admit that my firm is in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations
of the Commission.
Sincerely,
/s/Carl P. Ranno
