Years Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
1. ORGANIZATION
Organization
Integrated Ventures, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” or “our”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 22, 2011, under the name of Lightcollar, Inc. On March 20, 2015, the Company amended its articles of incorporation and changed its name from Lightcollar, Inc. to EMS Find, Inc. On May 30, 2017, Integrated Ventures, Inc. (“Integrated Ventures”), a Nevada corporation, was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 30, 2017, Integrated Ventures was merged into the Company, with the Company being the surviving corporation and changing its name to Integrated Ventures, Inc.
The Company has discontinued its prior operations and changed its business focus from its prior technologies relating to the EMS Find platform to acquiring, launching, and operating companies in the cryptocurrency sector, mainly in digital currency mining, equipment manufacturing, and sales of branded mining rigs, as well as blockchain software development.
The Company is developing and acquiring a diverse portfolio of digital currency assets and block chain technologies. Cryptocurrencies are a medium of exchange that uses decentralized control (a block chain) as opposed to a central bank to track and validate transactions. The Company is currently mining Bitcoin and Ethereum, whereby the Company earns revenue by solving “blocks” to be added to the block chain. The Company also purchases certain digital currencies for short-term investment purposes.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company maintains cash balances in non-interest-bearing accounts that at times may exceed federally insured limits. For the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at June 30, 2020.
Digital Currencies
Digital currencies consist of Bitcoin, Litecoin, ZCash and Ethereum, generally received for the Company’s own account as compensation for cryptocurrency mining services, and other digital currencies including Chainlink and Quant purchased for short-term investment and trading purposes. Given that there is limited precedent regarding the classification and measurement of cryptocurrencies under current Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company has determined to account for these digital currencies as indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, for the period covered by this report and in future reports unless and until further guidance is issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. In testing for impairment, the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not than an impairment exists. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted. Realized gains or losses on the sale of digital currencies, net of transaction costs, are included in other income (expense) in the statements of operations. The Company had a realized loss on sale of digital currencies of $22,948 in the year ended June 30, 2021, and a had a realized gain on the sale of digital currencies of $5,884 in the year ended June 30, 2020. Cryptocurrency mining revenues were $1,793,316 and $435,740 in the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment, consisting primarily of computer and other cryptocurrency mining equipment (transaction verification servers), is stated at the lower of cost or estimated realizable value and is depreciated when placed into service using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. The Company operates in an emerging industry for which limited data is available to make estimates of the useful economic lives of specialized equipment. Management has assessed the basis of depreciation of these assets and believes they should be depreciated over a three-year period due to technological obsolescence reflecting rapid development of hardware that has faster processing capacity and other factors. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and improvements are capitalized. Gains or losses on the disposition of property and equipment are recorded upon disposal.
During the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company discontinued the use of damaged or non-serviceable mining equipment and wrote off its net book value of $238,363 and $162,451, respectively, to loss on disposition of property and equipment.
Management has determined that the three-year diminishing value best reflects the current expected useful life of transaction verification servers. This assessment takes into consideration the availability of historical data and management’s expectations regarding the direction of the industry including potential changes in technology. Management will review this estimate annually and will revise such estimates as and when data becomes available.
To the extent that any of the assumptions underlying management’s estimate of useful life of its transaction verification servers are subject to revision in a future reporting period, either as a result of changes in circumstances or through the availability of greater quantities of data, then the estimated useful life could change and have a prospective impact on depreciation expense and the carrying amounts of these assets.
Payments to equipment suppliers prior to shipment of the equipment are recorded as equipment deposits.
Derivatives
The Company evaluates its convertible debt, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for. The result of this accounting treatment is that under certain circumstances the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under this accounting standard are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.
Where the number of warrants or common shares to be issued under these agreements is indeterminate, the Company has concluded that the equity environment is tainted, and all additional warrants and convertible debt are included in the value of the derivatives.
We estimate the fair value of the derivatives associated with our convertible notes payable, common stock issuable pursuant to a Series B preferred stock Exchange Agreement and a stock subscription payable using, as applicable, either the Black-Scholes pricing model or multinomial lattice models that value the derivative liability based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model using future projections of the various potential outcomes. We estimate the fair value of the derivative liabilities at the inception of the financial instruments, and, in the case of our convertible notes payable, at the date of conversions to equity and at each reporting date, recording a derivative liability, debt discount, additional paid-in capital and a gain or loss on change in derivative liabilities as applicable. These estimates are based on multiple inputs, including the market price of our stock, interest rates, our stock price volatility, variable conversion prices based on market prices as defined in the respective agreements and probabilities of certain outcomes based on management projections. These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period and to management’s judgment; therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
All assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 350 and ASC 360. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the expected undiscounted cash flows of the asset, an impairment charge is recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds fair value or net realizable value. The testing of these intangibles under established guidelines for impairment requires significant use of judgment and assumptions. Changes in forecasted operations and other assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair values. Changes in business conditions could potentially require adjustments to these asset valuations. We reported no impairment expense for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments require disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the amounts reported for cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, equipment deposits, accounts payable, accrued preferred stock dividends, accrued expenses, due to related party and notes payable approximate fair value because of their short maturities.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
|
·
|
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
|
|
·
|
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
|
|
·
|
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
|
Our derivative liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and estimated as follows:

Mezzanine
Series C and D preferred stock that contain certain default provisions requiring mandatory cash redemption that are outside the control of the Company are recorded as Mezzanine in the accompanying balance sheets.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for all equity-based payments in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock awards, stock options, warrants and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. The value of the portion of an award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line attribution method. The fair value of a stock award is recorded at the fair market value of a share of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options and warrants at the grant date by using an appropriate fair value model such as the Black-Scholes option pricing model or multinomial lattice models.
The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards based upon ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. ASC 505-50 requires the costs of goods and services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments to be recognized using the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value of the equity award, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of the equity award is determined on the measurement date, which is the earlier of the date that a performance commitment is reached or the date that performance is complete. Generally, our awards do not entail performance commitments. When an award vests over time such that performance occurs over multiple reporting periods, we estimate the fair value of the award as of the end of each reporting period and recognize an appropriate portion of the cost based on the fair value on that date. When the award vests, we adjust the cost previously recognized so that the cost ultimately recognized is equivalent to the fair value on the date the performance is complete.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This standard provides a single comprehensive model to be used in the accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The standard’s stated core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, ASC 606 includes provisions within a five-step model that includes identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when, or as, an entity satisfies a performance obligation.
Our revenues currently consist of cryptocurrency mining revenues and revenues from the sale of cryptocurrency mining equipment recognized in accordance with ASC 606 as discussed above. Amounts collected from customers prior to shipment of products are recorded as deferred revenue.
The Company earns its cryptocurrency mining revenues by providing transaction verification services within the digital currency networks of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, ZCash and Ethereum. The Company satisfies its performance obligation at the point in time that the Company is awarded a unit of digital currency through its participation in the applicable network and network participants benefit from the Company’s verification service. In consideration for these services, the Company receives digital currencies, net of applicable network fees, which are recorded as revenue using the closing U.S. dollar price of the related cryptocurrency on the date of receipt. Expenses associated with running the cryptocurrency mining operations, such as equipment depreciation, rent, operating supplies, rent, utilities and monitoring services are recorded as cost of revenues.
There is currently no specific definitive guidance in GAAP or alternative accounting frameworks for the accounting for the production and mining of digital currencies and management has exercised significant judgment in determining appropriate accounting treatment for the recognition of revenue for mining of digital currencies. Management has examined various factors surrounding the substance of the Company’s operations and the guidance in ASC 606, including identifying the transaction price, when performance obligations are satisfied, and collectability is reasonably assured being the completion and addition of a block to a blockchain and the award of a unit of digital currency to the Company. In the event authoritative guidance is enacted by the FASB, the Company may be required to change its policies which could result in a change in the Company’s financial statements.
Income Taxes
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions are all highly certain of being upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. As of March 31, 2021, tax years 2015 through 2020 remain open for IRS audit. The Company has received no notice of audit from the IRS for any of the open tax years.
The Company adopted ASC 740-10, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48, (“ASC 740-10”). ASC 740-10 provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. The term “effectively settled” replaces the term “ultimately settled” when used to describe recognition, and the terms “settlement” or “settled” replace the terms “ultimate settlement” or “ultimately settled” when used to describe measurement of a tax position under ASC 740-10. ASC 740-10 clarifies that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion of an examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open. The adoption of ASC 740-10 has not had an impact on our financial statements.
Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income or loss per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income or loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as “in-the-money” stock options and warrants, convertible debt and convertible preferred stock, were exercised or converted into common stock. Equivalent shares are not utilized when the effect is anti-dilutive. For the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share; therefore, basic net loss per share is the same as diluted net loss per share.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
There were no new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB during the year ended June 30, 2021 and through the date of filing this report which the Company believes will have a material impact on its financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2020 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the year ended June 30, 2021.
3. GOING CONCERN
The Company has reported recurring net losses since its inception and used net cash in operating activities of $1,567,715 in the year ended June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $45,076,096. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The ability of the Company to reach a successful level of operations is dependent on the execution of management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through the debt and/or equity markets, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. If the Company were not to continue as a going concern, it would likely not be able to realize its assets at values comparable to the carrying value or the fair value estimates reflected in the balances set out in the preparation of the financial statements.
There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in attaining a profitable level of operations or in generating additional cash from the equity/debt markets or other sources fund its operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary. Should the Company not be successful in its business plan or in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, the Company would need to curtail certain or all operational activities and/or contemplate the sale of its assets, if necessary.

5. EQUIPMENT DEPOSITS
Payments to equipment suppliers prior to shipment of the equipment are recorded as equipment deposits.
Bitmain Agreement
On April 12, 2021, we entered into a Non-fixed Price Sales and Purchase Agreement with Bitmain Technologies Limited (“Bitmain”) (the “Bitmain Agreement”) to purchase from Bitmain cryptocurrency mining hardware and other equipment in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Bitmain Agreement. Bitmain is scheduled to manufacture and ship miners on monthly basis, in 12 equal batches of 400 units, starting in August 2021 and through July 2022. The Purchase Agreement remains in effect until the delivery of the last batch of products. The total purchase price was approximately $34,047,600, subject to price adjustments and related offsets. The total purchase price is payable as follows: (i) 25% of the total purchase price is due upon the execution of the Agreement or no later than April 19, 2021; (ii) 35% of the total purchase price, is due by May 30, 2021; and (iii) the remaining 40% of the total purchase price, is payable monthly starting in June 2021.
The Company entered into a separate agreement with Wattum Management, Inc. {“Wattum”), a non-related party, whereby Wattum agreed to share 50% of the purchase obligation under the Bitmain Agreement, including reimbursing the Company for 50% of the equipment deposits paid by the Company to Bitmain.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company had paid a total of $7,663,265 in equipment deposits, including $6,554,190 paid to Bitmain under the Bitmain Agreement (net of Wattum reimbursements).
Canaan Convey Purchase
In February 2021, the Company prepaid $990,000 to Canaan Convey Co. LTD (“Canaan Convey”) for the purchase of 250 cryptocurrency miners. As of June 30, 2021, the 250 miners had not been delivered to the Company by Canaan Convey.
6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
We have one executive officer, Steve Rubakh, who is currently our only full-time employee and sole member of our Board of Directors. Mr. Rubakh is paid an annual salary established by the Board of Directors, bonuses as determined by the Board of Directors, and is issued shares of Series B preferred stock on a quarterly basis for additional compensation. The number and timing of Series B preferred shares issued to Mr. Rubakh is at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors of the Company set the current annual compensation for Steve Rubakh to include annual salary of $150,000 per year through March 31, 2021 and $250,000 effective April 1, 2021. In addition, the Board of Directors approved a bonus of $50,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Total compensation expense included in general and administrative expenses was $225,000 and $150,000 for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amounts due to related party, consisting of accrued salary to Mr. Rubakh, totaled $29,357 and $122,907 as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
In April 2019, Mr. Rubakh converted 30,000 shares of Series B preferred stock into 3,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, recorded at the par value of the common stock issued. In February 2020, Mr. Rubakh returned 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and was issued 30,000 shares of the Company’s Series B preferred stock which were previously surrendered in the April 2019 conversion. The common shares were canceled, and the transaction was recorded at the par value of the common and Series B preferred stock.
During the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company issued to Mr. Rubakh 350,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock valued on an “as converted to common” basis at $16,537,500, using the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on that date. During the year ended June 30, 2020, the Company issued to Mr. Rubakh 100,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock valued on an “as converted to common” basis at $120,000, using the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on that date. Each share of Series B preferred stock is convertible into 100 shares of the Company’s common stock. This non-cash, related party stock-based compensation is included in operating expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.
In February 2021, Mr. Rubakh converted 52,630 shares of Series B preferred stock into 5,263,000 shares of common stock in a transaction recorded at the par value of the shares.

In consideration for an agreement to limit conversions of a prior convertible note, the Company issued to Armada Investment Fund, LLC (“Armada”) a fifth convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $20,000.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on the closing price of our common stock of $0.2037 as of June 30, 2021, which would have been received by the holders of in-the-money warrants had the holders exercised their warrants as of that date.
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Matters
From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. As of the date of filing of this report, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits.
Operating Leases
As of June 30, 2021, the Company had no obligation for future lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases. However, the Company has entered into two agreements described below related to its crypto currency mining operations pursuant to which the Company’s sole obligation is to pay monthly a contractual rate per kilowatt hour of electricity consumed.
PetaWatt Agreements
Power Supply and Purchase Agreement
In May 2019, the Company consolidated its then cryptocurrency operations in one facility in Carthage, New York. The Carthage power supply and purchase agreement with PetaWatt Properties, LLC (“PetaWatt”) was entered into on May 10, 2019 for an initial term of 90 days, with an option to continue the agreement for a subsequent 36 months, which option the Company has exercised. The Company’s sole obligation under the agreement is to pay monthly a contractual rate per kilowatt hour of electricity consumed in the Company’s cryptocurrency mining operations. This agreement was superseded on May 7, 2021 with a new Lease, Hosting, and Energy Services Agreement with PetaWatt.
Lease, Hosting, and Energy Services Agreement
On May 7, 2021, the Company and PetaWatt entered into a Lease, Hosting and Energy Services Agreement for the Carthage, New York facility for a period of 36 months. The Company’s sole obligation under the agreement is to pay monthly a contractual rate per kilowatt hour of electricity consumed in the Company’s cryptocurrency mining operations. The agreement may also be expanded to include up to 7 mobile mining containers. The Company made a prepayment of $300,000 upon signing the agreement, to be drawn down with monthly invoices submitted to the Company by PetaWatt. As of June 30, 2021, the remaining prepayment balance was $193,870, which amount was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying balance sheet.
Compute North Master Agreement
On March 8, 2021, the Company and Compute North LLC (“Compute North”) entered into a Master Agreement for the colocation and management of the Company’s cryptocurrency mining operations. The Company submits Order Forms to Compute North to determine the location of the hosted facilities, the number of cryptocurrency miners, the term of the services provided and the contractual rate per kilowatt hour of electricity consumed in the Company’s cryptocurrency mining operations. The agreement also provides the Company the option to purchase cryptocurrency mining equipment from Compute North. The initial Order form was for 425 miners in Kearney, Nebraska for a term of 3 years and 250 miners in Savoy, Texas for a term of 3 years. The parties subsequently consolidated the cryptocurrency mining operations in the Kearney, Nebraska facility. Through June 30, 2021, the Company paid set up fees of $37,931 with its ongoing obligation under the agreement to pay monthly a contractual rate per kilowatt hour of electricity consumed in the Company’s cryptocurrency mining operations. Nebraska operations commenced in September 2021.
Management Agreements
On February 21, 2021, the Company entered into two Management Agreements with consultants, each for a term of 120 days, to provide guidance for financing, corporate structure, contracts, mergers and acquisitions and general corporate consulting. Either party may terminate the agreements immediately upon written notice. The Company is to pay the consultants consulting fees comprised of a total of 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which shares were issued in July 2021 (see Notes 11 and 16).
NOTE 14. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
The Company issued convertible notes payable, warrants and certain preferred stock with put back rights and has entered into exchange and subscription agreements that contained certain provisions that were identified as derivatives. As of June 30, 2020, the Company determined that the number of common shares to be issued under these agreements was indeterminate; therefore, the Company concluded that the equity environment was tainted and all additional warrants, stock options convertible debt and obligations to issue common shares were included in the value of derivative liabilities. During the year ended June 30, 2021, the obligations under these agreements were extinguished in full and no derivative liabilities were recorded as of June 30, 2021.
The Company estimates the fair value of the derivative liabilities at the issuance date and at each subsequent reporting date, using a multinomial lattice model simulation. The model is based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model using projections of the various potential outcomes. These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period and to management’s judgment; therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material.
During the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had the following activity in its derivative liabilities:

15. INCOME TAXES
For the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, there was no provision for income taxes and deferred tax assets have been entirely offset by valuation allowances.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $2,374,000 that expire through the year 2039. The Company’s net operating loss carry forwards may be subject to annual limitations, which could reduce or defer the utilization of the losses as a result of an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
The Company’s income tax expense (benefit) differs from the “expected” tax expense (benefit) for Federal income tax purposes (computed by applying the United States Federal tax rate of 21% to income (loss) before income taxes), as follows:

The tax effects of the temporary differences between reportable financial statement income and taxable income are recognized as deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The tax years 2014 through 2020 remain open to examination by federal agencies and other jurisdictions in which it operates.
The tax effect of significant components of the Company’s deferred tax asset at June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, are as follows:

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not 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. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
Because of the historical earnings history of the Company, the net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2021 and 2020 were fully offset by a 100% valuation allowance.
