Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required for complete financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. However, the Company’s results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023.

| Principles of Consolidation |
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
|
| Reclassifications |
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no material effect on the reported financial results.
|
| Use of Estimates |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumption that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates made in connection with the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the fair value in connection with the Series S convertible preferred stock issued in the Soin merger, the Series B Preferred Stock and Series M Preferred Stock issued in the transaction, pursuant to which the Company acquired the ALT5 Subsidiary, valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, and estimated useful lives for intangible assets.

| Financial Instruments |
Financial Instruments
Financial instruments consist primarily of cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, and obligations under accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable. The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, trade receivables and other receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term notes payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
|
| Digital Assets and other Receivables |
Digital Assets and other Receivables Digital assets and other receivables are the Company’s digital assets and its customer prepayments in the form of digital assets. The Company holds all digital assets in secure non-custodial wallets through the wallet services from Fireblocks.
|
| Digital Assets and other Payables |
Digital Assets and other Payables Digital assets and other payables are liabilities that represent the Company’s obligation to deliver the settlement of transactions in the form of digital assets and or cash. The Company safeguards these digital assets and cash for customers and is obligated to safeguard them from loss, theft, or other misuse. The Company recognizes digital assets and other payables, on initial recognition and at each reporting date, at fair value of the digital assets. Any loss, theft, or other misuse would impact the measurement of digital assets and other payables.

| Revenue Recognition |
Revenue Recognition
Revenue recognition applies to the Company’s Fintech segment only, as the Company’s Biotech segment has not recognized revenue to date. Revenue is recognized under Topic 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its services and products to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:
1.Executed contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable;
2.Identification of performance obligations in the respective contract;
3.Determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;
4.Allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation; and
5.Recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
These five elements, as applied to each of the Company’s revenue category, is summarized below:
1.Product sales – revenue is recognized at the time of sale of equipment to the customer.
2.Service sales – revenue is recognized based on when the service has been provided to the customer.
The Company’s service is comprised of a single performance obligation to buy and sell or convert digital assets to currencies. That is, the Company is the counter party to all transactions between customers and liquidity providers and presents revenue for the fees earned on a net basis.
The Company is acting as principal in all transactions, and control the digital assets being provided before it is transferred to the buyer, and has risk related to the digital assets, and is responsible for the fulfillment of the digital asset transactions. The Company sets the price for the digital assets by aggregating prices from several liquidity providers and displays them on the Company’s platform. As a result, the Company acts as a price discovery service and acts as a principal facilitating the ability for a customer to purchase or sell digital assets.
The Company considers its performance obligation satisfied, and recognizes revenue, at the point in time the transaction is processed. Contracts with customers are usually open-ended and can be terminated by either party without a termination penalty. Therefore, contracts are defined at the transaction level and do not extend beyond the service already provided. The Company charges a fee at the transaction level. The transaction price, represented by the trading fee, is calculated based on volume and varies depending on payment type and the value of the transaction. Digital asset purchases or sale transactions executed by a customer on the Company’s platform is based on tiered pricing that is driven primarily by transaction volume processed for a specific historical period. The Company has concluded that this volume-based pricing approach does not constitute a future material right since the discount is within a range typically offered to a class of customers with similar volume. The transaction fee is collected from the customer at the time the transaction is executed. In certain instances, the transaction fee can be collected in digital assets, with revenue measured based on the amount of digital assets received and the fair value of the digital assets at the time of the transaction. The Company also marks up or down the digital asset prices and earns revenue from the spread between the buying and selling price. The Company also earns a fee from transfers of currencies and or digital assets. The transfer fees are nominal and are set to offset the fees associated with banking and or blockchain mining fees

| Stock-Based Compensation |
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company from time to time grants stock options to employees, non-employees and Company executives and directors. Such awards are valued based on the grant date fair-value of the instruments. The value of each award is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
