Explanatory Note
EdgeMode, Inc. (Formerly Fourth Wave Energy, Inc.) ( the "Company") is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10Q/A (the “Amended Report”) to amend its Quarterly Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, that was originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 23, 2022 (the “Original Report”), to restate the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2022. Consequently, the previously filed unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2022, should no longer be relied upon. On June 3, 2022 the Company changed its name from Fourth Wave Energy Inc. to Edgemode, Inc. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Amended Report to “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to the Company and its subsidiary, EdgeMode, a Wyoming corporation.
Background
On August 17, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors of the Company, after consideration of the relevant facts and circumstances and after consultation with management and M&K CPAS, PLLC, the Company’s independent auditors, concluded that the Company’s unaudited consolidated interim financial statements as of March 31, 2022 and for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022 included in the Original Report should be restated, and that such financial statements previously filed with the SEC should no longer be relied upon as a result of the omission of issued options which resulted in the Company’s consolidated operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 being understated by approximately $17.8 million in the Original Report.
With this error being corrected in this Amended Report, net loss increased by $17.8 million. Additionally, the change impacted our basic and diluted net loss per common share calculations. See restated Note 3. Restatement to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Amended Report for the adjustments to the consolidated financial statements related to this misstatement. The Company has also made corresponding amendments to Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and applicable footnote disclosures.
Because these revisions are treated as corrections of errors to our prior period financial results, the revisions are considered to be a "restatement” under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”). Accordingly, the revised financial information included in this Amended Report has been identified as “As Restated.”
In connection with the restatement, the Company’s management concluded that as of March 31, 2022, the Company continued to have material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting as previously identified in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2021, and that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. For a discussion of management’s considerations of the Company’s disclosures controls and procedures, internal controls over financial reporting, and material weaknesses identified, refer to “Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures,” which remains unchanged from the Original Report.
Items Amended in this Amended Report
The following sections in the Original Report are revised in this Amended Report, solely as a result of, and to reflect, the restatement:
| · | Part I – Item 1. Financial Information | |
| · | Part I – Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations | |
| · | Part II – Item 6. Exhibits and Signatures |
In addition, in accordance with SEC rules, Part II, Item 6 of the Original Report has been amended to include the currently-dated certifications from the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The certifications of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer are included in this Amended Report as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2.

Edgemode, Inc. (Formerly Fourth Wave Energy, Inc.)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2022
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Fourth Wave Energy, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “Fourth Wave” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K and the annual financial statements of Edgemode filed with the SEC on Form 8-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for our interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2021, as reported in the Form 10-K and Form 8-K of the Company, have been omitted.
On March 20, 2020, shareholders owning a majority of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock amended the Company's Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company from Pierre Corp. to Fourth Wave Energy, Inc.
In connection with the acquisition of FWI in March 2020, the Company entered into consulting agreements with certain founders of FWI. The consulting agreements require the Company to collectively pay $379,850 in consulting fees during the terms of the consulting agreements. In March 2021 the Company agreed to sell the FWI technologies and its business plan to GeoSolar Technologies, Inc. a Colorado corporation (“GST”) in exchange for 10,000,000 shares of GST common stock (the “GST Shares”), such GST Shares distributable to the Company’s shareholders. As a part of this transaction, the consultants agreed to release the Company from any liability for any consulting fees owed to them by the Company and return a portion of the Company’s common stock held by such consultants. During the year ended December 31, 2021, shares of the Company's common stock were returned to the Company and cancelled. The technology granted to GST was carried on our balance sheet at zero value and the shares received were also recorded at no value. FWI was voluntarily dissolved on December 8, 2021. The ex-dividend date, record date and distribution date for the registered distribution of the GST Shares to the Company's shareholders, subject to FINRA clearance, is the following:
Ex-Dividend Date: 12/06/2021
Record Date: 12/07/2021
Distribution Date: 12/14/2021
Effective January 31, 2022 (the “Effective Time”), the Company, FWAV Acquisition Corp., a Wyoming corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Acquisition Subsidiary”) and EdgeMode, a Wyoming corporation (“EdgeMode”) closed on the previously disclosed Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated December 2, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”). In accordance with the Merger Agreement, Acquisition Subsidiary merged with and into EdgeMode (the “Merger” or “Transaction”), with EdgeMode remaining as the surviving entity after the Merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In the Merger, the shares of common stock, no par value per share, of EdgeMode issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, represent 80% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis (or 313,950,672 shares of common stock). Furthermore, pursuant to the terms of the Merger the Company’s sole shareholder of the Company’s preferred stock converted such shares into shares of common stock.
Joseph Isaacs, the Company’s sole officer
and director resigned as an executive officer and director. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Mr. Isaacs will provide services to the
Company in a consultancy capacity at a fee of $11,500 per month and has been issued a stock option grant to purchase up to
shares of the Company’s common stock, vesting in 90 days, at an exercise price of $ per share. The consulting agreement may
be terminated by the Company without cause after three months. In addition, Mr. Isaacs received a $

Simultaneously with the Merger, approximately
$
The merger was accounted for as a reverse merger, whereby EdgeMode was considered the accounting acquirer and became our wholly-owned subsidiary. In accordance with the accounting treatment for a “reverse merger”, the Company’s historical financial statements prior to the reverse merger has been replaced with the historical financial statements of EdgeMode prior to the reverse merger. The financial statements after completion of the reverse merger include the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the combined company from and after the closing date of the reverse merger, with only certain aspects of pre-consummation stockholders’ equity remaining in the consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 – Summary of significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. It is reasonably possible that changes in estimates will occur in the near term.
Principals of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fourth Wave Energy, Inc. and the accounts of its 100% owned subsidiary, EdgeMode. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fair Value Measurements
Generally accepted accounting principles define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price) and such principles also establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value using the following definitions (from highest to lowest priority):
| · | Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. |
| · | Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
| · | Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques requiring inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
The Company has no assets or liabilities valued using level 1, level 2, or level 3 inputs as of March 31, 2022.
| 8 |
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.
The Company has entered into digital asset mining pools by executing contracts, as amended from time to time, with the mining pool operators to provide computing power to the mining pool. The contracts are terminable at any time by either party and the Company’s enforceable right to compensation only begins when the Company provides computing power to the mining pool operator. In exchange for providing computing power, the Company is entitled to a fractional share of the fixed cryptocurrency award the mining pool operator receives (less digital asset transaction fees to the mining pool operator which are recorded as a component of cost of revenues), for successfully adding a block to the blockchain. The terms of the agreement provides that neither party can dispute settlement terms after thirty-five days following settlement. The Company’s fractional share is based on the proportion of computing power the Company contributed to the mining pool operator to the total computing power contributed by all mining pool participants in solving the current algorithm.
Providing computing power in digital asset transaction verification services is an output of the Company’s ordinary activities. The provision of providing such computing power is the only performance obligation in the Company’s contracts with mining pool operators. The transaction consideration the Company receives, if any, is noncash consideration, which the Company measures at fair value on the date received, which is not materially different than the fair value at contract inception or the time the Company has earned the award from the pools. The consideration is all variable. Because it is not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur, the consideration is constrained until the mining pool operator successfully places a block (by being the first to solve an algorithm) and the Company receives confirmation of the consideration it will receive, at which time revenue is recognized. There is no significant financing component in these transactions.
Fair value of the cryptocurrency award received is determined using the closing price of the related cryptocurrency on the day of receipt. There is currently no specific definitive guidance under GAAP or alternative accounting framework for the accounting for cryptocurrencies recognized as revenue or held, and management has exercised significant judgment in determining the appropriate accounting treatment. In the event authoritative guidance is enacted by the FASB, the Company may be required to change its policies, which could have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results from operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not believe that any recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE 3 – Restatement
Subsequent to the issuance of the March 31, 2022 consolidated financial statements, management determined that there was an error in the number of options issued and outstanding and the related stock-based compensation, and for the three months ended March 31, 2022. As such, the Company is restating its consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Impact of Restatement
The following tables reflect the impact of the restatement adjustments to the specific line items presented in the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial statements as of, and for the three months ended March 31, 2022:

NOTE 4 – Going Concern
These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The Company began operations in 2020 and incurred a cumulative loss since inception. The Company’s ability to continue is dependent upon management’s plan to raise additional funds and achieve profitable operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is not able to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 5 – Reverse Merger Transaction
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, and in exchange for all 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of EdgeMode, EdgeMode received 313,950,672 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share of the Company.
Prior to the Merger, EdgeMode was authorized to issue 300,000 shares of preferred stock with no par value per share, of which 261,438 were designated as Series Seed Preferred Stock (“Series Seed Preferred”) which were accounted for as mezzanine equity. Immediately prior to the Merger, the holders of the Series Seed Preferred stock converted the shares and accrued dividends into 127,207 shares of EdgeMode common stock.
| 10 |
As a result of the Reverse Merger, the Company has acquired the following assets and liabilities which were recorded at the pre-combination carrying basis. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are as follows:

NOTE 7 - Prepaid Hosting Services
Prepaid hosting services are amounts paid to

the prepaid hosting services are eventually consumed, they are charged to expense. As of March 31, 2022 the company
has prepaid a total of $
Prior to the merger, the Company entered into additional service contracts with Mr. Isaacs, which as of March 31, 2022 had a value of $31,543 to be expense over the remaining service period.
NOTE 8 – Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. When retired or otherwise disposed, the carrying value and accumulated depreciation of the fixed asset is removed from its respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs which do not extend the useful lives of the related assets are expensed as incurred.

Additionally, the twelve months ending December 31, 2022 are referred to as “Fiscal 2022.”
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains “forward-looking statements”, as such term is used within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, among other things, statements regarding expanding our business and our liquidity as well as other statements regarding our future operations, financial condition and prospects, and business strategies. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by words such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "predicts," "projects," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause our actual results to differ materially and adversely from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, our ability to raise capital to buy the machines we have commitments to purchase and those discussed under the caption "Risk Factors" in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and those discussed in other documents we file with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
Business Overview
We are an early-stage cryptocurrency mining. Although Edgemode, our new wholly-owned subsidiary, has historically mined Ethereum, we are now focused on expanding the operations by mining Bitcoin which we anticipate to begin mining Bitcoin in the second half of 2022.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We discuss the material accounting policies that are critical in making the estimates and judgments in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates”. There has been no material change in critical accounting policies or estimates during the period covered by this report.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For information on recent accounting pronouncements and impacts, see Note 1 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2022 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021
Our revenues for the 2022 Quarter was $271,119 compared to $68,376 for the 2021 Quarter. The reason for the increase was the Company began operations in March of 2021 for one month of initial operations versus having a full quarter of operations for the 2022 quarter.
Our cost of revenues for the 2022 Quarter was $423,770 compared to $77,481 for the 2021 Quarter. The reason for the increase was the Company began operations in March of 2021 for one month of initial operations versus having a full quarter of operations for the 2022 quarter.
Our operating expenses for the 2022 Quarter was $23,345,463 compared to $86,002 for the 2021 Quarter. The reason for the increase was the company began operations in March of 2021 for one month of initial operations versus having a full quarter of operations for the 2022 Quarter. In the 2022 Quarter, the Company incurred stock-based compensation expense of $22,385,917 compared to $6,750 for the 2021 Quarter.
Our other expenses for the 2022 Quarter was $128,377 compared to $12,631 for the 2021 Quarter. The reason for the increase was an increase in interest expense from additional loans as well as an increased loss on cryptocurrencies due to increased transactions and changes in market prices.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of May 16, 2022, the Company had approximately $150,000 of cash. Our liquidity is primarily derived from selling the crypto that we mine, and debt and equity investments from accredited investors. To grow the business and help fund operations for the next 12 months, the Company is seeking to raise $60 million in equity capital through private placements. The Company has signed a non-binding term sheet for a $400 million debt facility which it hopes to complete by the end of the second quarter ending June 30, 2022. We can provide no assurances that any such financings will be successful, nor will they be on terms that we can agree on.
The Company has signed $300 million in hardware purchase orders. Completion on the $400 million debt facility is required in order to make payment on these purchase orders. We can provide no assurance to investors that we will have access to such a large amount of capital and if so that it will be available on terms that we would accept. In such event, the Company may incur significant and/or shareholders will suffer large dilution.
If we fail to raise sufficient additional funds when needed or do not have sufficient cash flows from mining, we may be required to scale back our plan of operations.
The Company has approximately $2.3 million of debt for equipment that the Company is currently mining of which approximately $1.4 million is due in 2022 and $850,000 is due in 2023. Additionally, we have a significant amount funds committed to the purchase of new Bitcoin miners. We can provide no assurance that we will have the ability to meet these payment requirements or that we will be successful raising capital to meet our working capital requirements.

| ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Not applicable.
| ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We are required to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting for the following reasons:
| · | Due to our small number of employees and limited resources, we have limited segregation of duties, as a result of which there is insufficient independent review of duties performed. |
| · | As a result of a lack of qualified accounting personnel, we rely on outside consultants for the preparation of our financial reports, including financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis, which could lead to overlooking items requiring disclosure. |
| · | Difficulty applying complex accounting principles. |
We will continue to monitor our internal control over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow. We do not, however, expect that the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls will be remediated until such time as we have added additional personnel, including additional accounting and administrative staff, allowing improved internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
| ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
From time to time, the Company may become a party to legal actions or proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. At March 31, 2022, there were no such actions or proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, that, if decided adversely to the Company’s interests, the Company believes would be material to its operation or cash flow.
| ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
While we attempt to identify, manage, and mitigate risks and uncertainties associated with our business to the extent practical under the circumstances, some level of risk and uncertainty will always be present. Our “Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 describes some of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business, which we strongly encourage you to review. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, projected results, and future prospects. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
