Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Everything Blockchain, Inc. (“EBI”) and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”, “we”, “our”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Description of Business
Everything Blockchain (the "Company") has undergone a significant strategic transformation. Historically, the Company operated as a provider of database management and cybersecurity solutions. Its flagship products included EB Build and EB Control, which facilitated the management of complex database systems for businesses, and EB Control, a cybersecurity platform focused on data security and access management.
Building on this foundation, the Company has pivoted to become a specialized investment and technology development firm at the intersection of cryptocurrency, and artificial intelligence (AI) sectors. This strategic shift reflects the Company’s commitment to embracing emerging technologies and aligning its operations with high-growth, future-focused industries.
Everything Blockchain will operate as an actively managed investment vehicle and technology innovator, focusing on two primary operational segments:
Strategic Investments: The Company identifies and invests in early-stage enterprises within the AI and blockchain domains, targeting ventures that exhibit strong potential for technological innovation, competitive differentiation, and market leadership. Through a disciplined investment strategy, the Company will curate a portfolio of businesses poised for long-term value creation and sustainable growth.
Proprietary Technology Development: Complementing its investment activities, Everything Blockchain will develop and acquire proprietary AI and blockchain technologies. These efforts span various industries and applications, enabling the Company to create unique value propositions and diversify its revenue streams.
This dual approach positions Everything Blockchain as both an investor in transformative technologies and a creator of innovative solutions. By leveraging its expertise in blockchain and AI, the Company aims to shape the future of these industries while delivering sustained value to its shareholders.
Subsidiaries of the Company
The subsidiaries of the Company are Render Payment Corp., DataStone, Inc., Vengar Technologies, Inc., Everything Blockchain Technology Corporation, and EBI International, Inc.

Table of Contents |
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended January 31, 2024, and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on May 15, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”). The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending January 31, 2025, or for any future period.
As of October 31, 2024, there have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The most significant estimates and judgments relate to revenue recognition; allowance for doubtful accounts; valuation of long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets; recoverability of goodwill; acquisition method of accounting; contingencies; and income taxes.
On a regular basis, management reviews its estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience, and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition Policies
We recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:
| · | identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; |
|
|
|
| · | identification of the performance obligations in the contract; |
|
|
|
| · | determination of the transaction price; |
|
|
|
| · | allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
|
|
|
| · | recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation. |

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and accounts receivable.
The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts when events and circumstances regarding the collectability of its receivables or the selling of its commodities warrant based upon factors such as the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, other information, and past bad debt history. The outstanding balances are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.
Our cash balances are maintained in accounts held by major banks and financial institutions located in the United States. The Company may occasionally maintain amounts on deposit with a financial institution that are in excess of the federally insured limit of $
Table of Contents
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company includes in cash and cash equivalents all short-term, highly liquid investments that mature within three months of the date of purchase. Cash equivalents consist principally of investments in interest-bearing demand deposit accounts and liquidity funds with financial institutions and are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company had no cash equivalents as of October 31, 2024, and January 31, 2024.

The Company follows ASC Topic 260 – Earnings Per Share, and FASB 2015-06, Earnings Per Share to account for earnings per share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect, calculated using (i) the “treasury stock” method for warrants and (ii) the “if converted” method for the preferred stock if their inclusion would not have been anti-dilutive.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.
The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:
- Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments; |
- Level 2: | Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments); |
- Level 3: | Significant unobservable inputs (including assumptions in determining the fair value of certain investments). |
The carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and deferred revenue approximate their fair value due to their short maturities.

Note 3. Going Concern
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Because the business is new and has a limited history, no certainty of continuation can be stated. The accompanying financial statements for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared to assume that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company has had historically negative cash flow and net losses. The Company has sustained its solvency through the debt and the raising of capital, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management is taking steps to raise additional funds to address its operating and financial cash requirements to continue operations in the next twelve months. Management has devoted a significant amount of time to the raising of capital from additional debt and equity financing. However, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional funds through debt and equity financing and generating revenue. There are no assurances the Company will receive the funding or generate the revenue necessary to fund operations. The financial statements contain no adjustments for the outcome of this uncertainty.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes presented in this report and in our Annual Report.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this section contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements contained in this report and not clearly historical in nature are forward-looking, and the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “intends,” “potential,” and similar expressions (as well as other words or expressions referencing future events, conditions or circumstances) generally are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Any statements in this report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those discussed from time to time in the Company’s SEC filings. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement for events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made except as required by law.
OVERVIEW
The overview of the MD&A highlights selected information and does not contain all of the information that is important to readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Everything Blockchain (the "Company") has undergone a significant strategic transformation. Historically, the Company operated as a provider of database management and cybersecurity solutions. Its flagship products included EB Build and EB Control, which facilitated the management of complex database systems for businesses, and EB Control, a cybersecurity platform focused on data security and access management.
Building on this foundation, the Company has pivoted to become a specialized investment and technology development firm at the intersection of cryptocurrency, and artificial intelligence (AI) sectors. This strategic shift reflects the Company’s commitment to embracing emerging technologies and aligning its operations with high-growth, future-focused industries.
Everything Blockchain will operate as an actively managed investment vehicle and technology innovator, focusing on two primary operational segments:
Strategic Investments: The Company identifies and invests in early-stage enterprises within the AI and blockchain domains, targeting ventures that exhibit strong potential for technological innovation, competitive differentiation, and market leadership. Through a disciplined investment strategy, the Company will curate a portfolio of businesses poised for long-term value creation and sustainable growth.
Proprietary Technology Development: Complementing its investment activities, Everything Blockchain will develop and acquire proprietary AI and blockchain technologies. These efforts span various industries and applications, enabling the Company to create unique value propositions and diversify its revenue streams.
This dual approach positions Everything Blockchain as both an investor in transformative technologies and a creator of innovative solutions. By leveraging its expertise in blockchain and AI, the Company aims to shape the future of these industries while delivering sustained value to its shareholders.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to uncollectible receivables, inventory valuation, deferred compensation, and contingencies.
We base our estimates on historical performance and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates allow us to make judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. If actual results or events differ materially from those contemplated by us in making these estimates, our reported financial condition, and results of operations for future periods could be materially affected.

Going Concern
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Because the business is relatively new and has a short history and relatively few sales, no certainty of continuation can be stated. The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company and therefore, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item of Form 10-Q.

Table of Contents |
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2024. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures.
Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their desired control objectives. Additionally, in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures, management is required to apply its reasonable judgment. Based on the evaluation described above, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report because we did not document our Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404 internal controls and procedures.
As funds become available to us, we expect to implement additional measures to improve disclosure controls and procedures such as implementing and documenting our internal controls procedures.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended October 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and its principal financial officer, do not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
