HIVE Blockchain Provides January 2022 Production Update

This news release constitutes a "designated news release" for the purposes of the Company's prospectus supplement dated February 2, 2021 to its amended and restated short form base shelf prospectus dated January 4, 2022.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 4, 2022) - HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (TSXV: HIVE) (Nasdaq: HIVE) (FSE: HBF) (the "Company" or "HIVE") is pleased to announce the production figures from the Company's global Bitcoin and Ethereum mining operations for the month of January 2022, with a BTC HODL balance of 2,043 Bitcoin and 25,404 Ethereum as of January 31, 2022.

January 2022 Production Figures

HIVE is pleased to announce its January 2022 production figures and mining capacity:

  • 264 BTC Produced
  • 1.87 Exahash of Bitcoin mining capacity
  • 2,170 ETH Equivalent Produced
  • 4.56 Terahash of Ethereum mining capacity

Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman of HIVE stated "We are again pleased that HIVE carries on with its strong momentum in expanding Bitcoin hashing power even as the network difficulty continues its upward movement. In January we produced an average of 8.5 BTC per day, and we are pleased to note that as of today, we are producing approximately 8.9 BTC a day. Our Bitcoin hashing power increased in January and at the calendar month-end our hashrate was 1.87 Exahash, which translated into a 10% increase in BTC mining hashrate on a month over month basis, while BTC prices corrected."

Aydin Kilic, President & COO of HIVE noted "We continue to strive for operational excellence, ensuring that as we scale our hashrate we also optimize our uptime, to ensure ideal Bitcoin and Ethereum output figures. Mr. Kilic continued, "We also would like to provide an update on the BTC and ETH equivalency, where one can equate the value of the coins produced daily. As such the ETH that HIVE produced during the month of January, equated on a daily basis, is approximately equal to a monthly total of 161 BTC, which we refer to as Bitcoin equivalent or BTC equivalent. This is in addition to the 264 BTC produced from our Bitcoin mining operations during January, for a total of 425 Bitcoin equivalent."

The Company's total Bitcoin equivalent production in January 2022 was:

  • 425 BTC Equivalent Produced
  • 13.7 BTC Equivalent produced per day on average
  • 2.9 Exahash of BTC Equivalent Hashrate (BTC hashrate plus equivalent ETH Hashrate)

Network Mining Difficulty and Energy Markets

The Bitcoin network difficulty increased as much as 10% and similarly the Ethereum network difficulty increased approximately 7.5% during the month of January. These factors impact our gross profit margins. Our January production would have been higher than actuals, however the extremely cold weather in Canada has caused Quebec Hydro to cut back 100 hours of energy consumption, under a curtailment agreement. This seasonal curtailment affects numerous crypto-mining companies operating in Quebec, along with HIVE. In addition, in New Brunswick we are experiencing, as expected, a temporary seasonal rise in energy prices. We are happy we have continued to expand our facilities and new equipment has arrived during the month to increase our PH to 1.87 Exahash for BTC mining.

About HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd.

HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. went public in 2017 as the first cryptocurrency mining company with a green energy and ESG strategy.

HIVE is a growth-oriented technology stock in the emergent blockchain industry. As a company whose shares trade on a major stock exchange, we are building a bridge between the digital currency and blockchain sector and traditional capital markets. HIVE owns state-of-the-art, green energy-powered data centre facilities in Canada, Sweden, and Iceland, where we source only green energy to mine on the cloud and HODL both Ethereum and Bitcoin. Since the beginning of 2021, HIVE has held in secure storage the majority of its ETH and BTC coin mining rewards. Our shares provide investors with exposure to the operating margins of digital currency mining, as well as a portfolio of cryptocurrencies such as ETH and BTC. Because HIVE also owns hard assets such as data centers and advanced multi- use servers, we believe our shares offer investors an attractive way to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency space.

1. Nature of Operations

HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated in the province of British Columbia on June 24, 1987.  The Company is a reporting issuer in each of the Provinces and Territories of Canada and is listed for trading on the TSXV, under the symbol "HIVE.V", as well on the Nasdaq's Capital Markets Exchange under "HIVE", and on the Open Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under "HBF".  The Company's head office is located at Suite 855, 789 Pender Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 1H2, and the Company's registered office is located at Suite 2500, 700 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, V7Y 1B3.

In connection with the Company's change of business filed in September 2017 ("Change of Business"), the Company acquired digital currency mining data centre equipment in Iceland. Following the initial acquisition, the Company acquired additional data centre equipment in Iceland and Sweden throughout fiscal 2018.  Phases one and two of Sweden commenced operations on January 15, 2018 and March 31, 2018 respectively, while phase three commenced operations on April 30, 2018. On April 9, 2020 the Company acquired a data centre in Quebec, Canada (Note 6), and on April 15, 2021 the Company acquired a data centre in New Brunswick, Canada (Note 7). The Company is in the business of providing infrastructure solutions, including the provision of computational capacity to distributed networks, in the blockchain industry.  The Company's operations are focused on the mining and sale of digital currencies.  Digital currencies are subject to risks unique to the asset class and different from traditional assets.  Additionally, at times assets may be held by third party custodians or exchanges that are limited in oversight by regulatory authorities.

The negative impact on the global supply chain related to the COVID-19 pandemic has presented challenges to the Company including increased shipping costs and delaying obtaining equipment from China on a timely basis. Additionally, the Company continues to face uncertainty in the availability of equipment from suppliers as it relates to the Company's ASIC equipment.

2. Basis of Presentation

(a) Statement of Compliance

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting of the International Financial Reporting Standards" ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the Company's March 31, 2021 annual audited financial statements, unless otherwise noted.  Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent annual statements.

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for some financial instruments that have been measured at fair value.

The Company is in the business of the mining and sale of digital currencies, many aspects of which are not specifically addressed by current IFRS guidance. The Company is required to make judgements as to the application of IFRS and the selection of accounting policies. The Company has disclosed its presentation, recognition and derecognition, and measurement of digital currencies, and the recognition of revenue as well as significant assumptions and judgements; however, if specific guidance is enacted by the IASB in the future, the impact may result in changes to the Company's earnings and financial position as presented.

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on February 14, 2022.

2. Basis of Presentation (continued…)

(b) Consolidation

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are controlled by the Company (the "Group"). Control is achieved when the parent company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if, and only if, the Group has all of the following: (i) power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee); (ii) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and (iii) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in these consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. All significant inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had the following wholly owned subsidiaries: HIVE Blockchain Switzerland AG, Bikupa Datacenter AB, Bikupa Datacenter 2 AB, Hive Digital Data Ltd., Liv Eiendom AS, 9376-9974 Quebec Inc., and GPU Atlantic Inc.  HIVE Blockchain Switzerland AG had one wholly owned subsidiary, HIVE Blockchain Iceland ehf.

(c) Presentation and functional currency

Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the exchange rate as at the date of the transaction. At each statement of financial position date, monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the year end foreign exchange rate. Non-monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies other than the functional currency are translated using the historical rate. All gains and losses on translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in the profit and loss.  The functional currency for HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd., 9376-9974 Quebec Inc., and GPU Atlantic Inc is the Canadian dollar, and it is the US dollar for its other wholly owned subsidiaries.

(d) Comprehensive income (loss)

Total comprehensive income (loss) comprises all components of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes gains and losses from translating the financial statements of an entity's whose functional currency differs from the presentation currency.

(e) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid for an acquisition over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Following the initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Goodwill has an indefinite useful life, is not subject to amortization and is tested annually for any impairment, or more frequently in the case that events or circumstances indicate that they may be impaired.

3. Significant Judgements

(a) Functional currency

The functional currency of the Company has been assessed by management based on consideration of the currency and economic factors that mainly influence the Company's digital currencies, production and operating costs, financing and related transactions. Specifically, the Company considers the currencies in which digital currencies are most commonly denominated and the currencies in which expenses are settled, by each entity, as well as the currency in which each entity receives or raises financing.  Changes to these factors may have an impact on the judgment applied in the determination of the Company's functional currency.

(b) Digital assets - accounting

The Company has assessed that it acts in a capacity as a commodity broker-trader as defined in IAS 2, Inventories, in characterizing certain of its holdings as inventory, or more specifically, digital assets.  If assets held by commodity broker-traders are principally acquired for the purpose of selling in the near future and generating a profit from fluctuations in price or broker-traders' margin, such assets are accounted for as inventory, and changes in fair value (less costs to sell) are recognized in profit or loss.

(c) Assessment of transactions as an asset acquisition or business combination

Management determines whether assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business.  A business consists of inputs and processes applied to those inputs that have the ability to create outputs. Whether an acquisition is classified as a business combination or asset acquisition can have a significant impact on the presentation made on and after acquisition.

The Company completed the Quebec Acquisition in April 2020 (Note 6) and the Atlantic Acquisition in April 2021 (Note 7) and concluded that both entities acquired qualified as a business combination under IFRS 3, "Business Combinations". Accordingly, the Quebec Acquisition and the Atlantic Acquisition have been accounted for as a business acquisition.

(d) Revenue from digital currency mining

The Company recognizes revenue from digital currency mining from the provision of transaction verification services within digital currency networks, commonly termed "cryptocurrency mining".  As consideration for these services, the Company receives digital currency from each specific network in which it participates ("coins").  Revenue from digital currency mining is measured based on the fair value of the coins received.  The fair value is determined using the spot price of the coin on the date of receipt.  The coins are recorded on the statement of financial position, as digital currencies, at their fair value less costs to sell and re-measured at each reporting date.  Revaluation gains or losses, as well as gains or losses on the sale of coins for traditional (fiat) currencies are included in profit and loss in accordance with the Company's treatment of its digital currencies as a traded commodity.

There is currently no specific definitive guidance in IFRS or alternative accounting frameworks for the accounting for the mining and strategic selling of digital currencies and management has exercised significant judgement in determining appropriate accounting treatment for the recognition of revenue from digital currency mining for mining of digital currencies.  Management has examined various factors surrounding the substance of the Company's operations, including the stage of completion being the completion and addition of a block to a blockchain and the reliability of the measurement of the digital currency received.

3. Significant Judgements (continued…)

(e) Contingencies

Contingencies can be either possible assets or liabilities arising from past events which, by their nature, will be resolved only when one or more uncertain future events occur or fail to occur. Such contingencies include, but are not limited to, litigation, regulatory proceedings, tax matters and gains or losses resulting from other events and developments. The assessment of the existence and potential impact of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgement regarding the outcome of future events.

4. Significant Estimates

(a) Determination of asset and liability fair values and allocation of purchase consideration

Significant acquisitions require judgements and estimates to be made at the date of acquisition in relation to determining the relative fair value of the allocation of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the assets. The information necessary to measure the fair values as at the acquisition date of assets acquired requires management to make certain judgements and estimates about the future performance of these assets.

(b) Carrying value of assets

The Company evaluates each asset or cash generating unit every reporting period to determine whether there are any indications of impairment. If any such indication exists, which is often judgmental, a formal estimate of recoverable amount is performed and an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating group of assets is measured at the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The evaluation of asset carrying values for indications of impairment includes consideration of both external and internal sources of information, including such factors as the relationship between mining rewards and the required computing power, digital currency prices, the periodic contribution margin of digital currency mining activities, changes in underlying costs, such as electricity, and technological changes. The estimates and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty; hence, there is the possibility that changes in circumstances will alter these projections, which may impact the recoverable amount of the assets. In such circumstances some or all of the carrying value of the assets may be further impaired or the impairment charge reduced with the impact recorded in profit and loss.

(c) Depreciation

Depreciation of data centre equipment is an estimate of its expected life.  In order to determine the useful life of computing equipment, assumptions are required about a range of computing industry market and economic factors, including required hashrates, technological changes, availability of hardware and other inputs, and production costs.

4. Significant Estimates (continued…)

(d) Deferred and current taxes

The determination of the Company's tax expense for the year and deferred tax assets and liabilities involves significant estimation and judgement by management. In determining these amounts, management interprets tax legislation in a variety of jurisdictions and makes estimates of the expected timing of the reversal of deferred tax assets and liabilities, the deferral and deductibility of certain items and interpretation of the treatment for tax purposes of digital currencies by taxation authorities. Management also makes estimates of future earnings, which affect the extent to which potential future tax benefits may be used. The Company is subject to assessments by various taxation authorities, which may interpret legislation differently. These differences may affect the final amount or the timing of the payment of taxes. The Company provides for such differences where known based on management's best estimate of the probable outcome of these matters.

(e) Digital currency valuation

Digital currencies consist of cryptocurrency denominated assets (Note 10) and are included in current assets.  Digital currencies are carried at their fair value determined by the spot rate less costs to sell.  The digital currency market is still a new market and is highly volatile; historical prices are not necessarily indicative of future value; a significant change in the market prices for digital currencies would have a significant impact on the Company's earnings and financial position.  Fair value is determined by taking the price of the coins at 2400 hours (per the Central European Time zone) from the exchanges which the Company most frequently uses.

(f) Share-based compensation

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model ("Black-Scholes") to estimate the fair value of stock options granted to directors, officers, employees, consultants and charities. The use of Black-Scholes requires management to make various estimates and assumptions that impact the value assigned to the stock options including the forecast future volatility of the stock price, the risk-free interest rate, dividend yield and the expected life of the stock options. Any changes in these assumptions could have a material impact on the share-based compensation calculation value, however the most significant estimate is the volatility.  Expected future volatility can be difficult to estimate as the Company has a limited operating history and is in an emerging industry with no comparable publicly traded competitors at the time of grant. Due to the emerging nature of the industry, volatility estimates require significant estimates. The Company estimated volatility based on historic share prices of companies operating in emerging innovative industries. Historical volatility is not necessarily indicative of future volatility.

6. Quebec Acquisition

On April 8, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the common shares of 9376-9974 Quebec Inc. ("9376"), a cryptocurrency mining operation located in Lachute, Quebec from Cryptologic Corp.

In consideration for 100% of the common shares of 9376, the Company paid total consideration of $3,738,809 consisting of:

(i) Issuance of 15,000,000 common shares on closing valued at a price of C$0.23 per common share for a total of $2,458,470 (C$3,450,000); and

(ii) Cash payment of $1,235,873 (C$1,734,315) and holdback of $44,466.

The allocation of the total purchase price to the net assets acquired is as follows:

Prepaid expenses $ 719,699
Data Centre Equipment (Note 11) 2,322,077
Right of use asset (Note 16) 2,469,327
Intangible asset* 872,545
Accounts Payable (175,512 )
Lease liability (2,469,327 )
Net assets acquired $ 3,738,809
Cash paid 1,235,873
Shares issued 2,458,470
Holdback payable 44,466
Total consideration $ 3,738,809

* Intangible asset relates to favourable supply arrangements acquired as part of the business acquisition and is being amortized over the term of the existing facility lease.

7. Atlantic Acquisition

On April 15, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the common shares of GPU Atlantic. In consideration for 100% of GPU Atlantic, the Company paid total consideration of 5,000,000 common shares on closing valued at a total of $18.7 million (C$23.7 million). 1,000,000 of the common shares were allocated to a holdback and to GPU One earn-out upon delivery of certain earn-out conditions.

GPU Atlantic has a 50-megawatt data centre campus located in New Brunswick, Canada.

7. Atlantic Acquisition (continued…)

Current assets $ 671,709
Data centre equipment 12,898,994
Land 662,910
Buiding 4,576,290
Sales taxes refunds 75,780

As part of the transaction, the Company also acquired a $10,898,353 (C$13,639,249) term loan (Note 15) included in the long-term debt acquired.

* Intangible asset represents an internally generated mining monitoring, tracking and generating software.

** Goodwill represents expected synergies, future income growth potential, and other intangibles that do not qualify for separate recognition. None of the goodwill arising on the acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The purchase price allocation for acquisitions reflects various fair value estimates which are subject to change within the measurement period. The primary areas of purchase price allocation that are subject to change relate to the fair values of certain tangible assets, the valuation of identifiable intangible assets acquired, and residual goodwill. Measurement period adjustments that the Company determines to be material will be applied retrospectively to the period of acquisition in the Company's consolidated financial statements and, depending on the nature of the adjustments, other periods subsequent to the period of acquisition could also be affected. The Company expects to finalize the accounting for the acquisition by March 31, 2022.

8. Investments

The Company's investment holdings that are not traded in active markets by the Company are considered investments.  Investments are accounted for as financial assets which are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured through fair value through profit or loss

On April 21, 2021, the Company completed a share swap transaction with DeFi Technologies Inc. ("DeFi Technologies"), pursuant to which HIVE received 10,000,000 common shares of DeFi Technologies, in exchange for 4,000,000 common shares of the Company, valued at C$16.0 million.

As at December 31, 2021, in addition to the investment of Defi Technologies, the Company holds a number of non-material investments in both private and public companies. Investments were valued at $26,731,708 (March 31, 2021 - $981,736).

12. Deposits

The Deposits at December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021 relate to required amounts on account with electricity providers in Sweden and deposit for equipment purchases, consisting of:

Description December 31, 2021 March 31, 2021
Vattenfall AB $ 1,431,970 $ 1,494,617
Bodens Energi 694,090 724,456
Equipment Deposits 93,521,430 43,313,678
Total $ 95,647,490 $ 45,532,751

13. Convertible Loan

On January 12, 2021, the Company closed its non-brokered private placement of unsecured debentures (the "Debentures"), for aggregate gross proceeds of $15,000,000 with U.S. Global Investors, Inc. ("U.S. Global").  The Executive Chairman of the Company is a director, officer and controlling shareholder of U.S. Global.

The Debentures mature on the date that is 60 months from the date of issuance, bearing interest at a rate of 8% per annum. The Debentures will be issued at par, with each Debenture being redeemable by the Company at any time, and convertible at the option of the holder into common shares (each, a "Share") in the capital of the Company at a conversion price of CAD$3.00 per Share.  Interest will be payable monthly and principal will be payable quarterly. In addition, U.S. Global was issued 5.0 million common share purchase warrants (the "Warrants"). Each whole Warrant entitles U.S. Global to acquire one common at an exercise price of CAD$3.00 per Share for a period of three years from closing.

The Company determined that the Convertible Loan contained an embedded derivative and that the conversion feature does not qualify as equity as it does not satisfy the "fixed for fixed" requirement as the number of potential common shares to be issued is contingent on a variable carrying amount for the financial liability. The financial liability is variable because the functional currency of Hive Blockchain Technologies Ltd. is Canadian dollars and the Convertible Loan is denominated in US dollars, therefore the amount of common shares to be issued depends on the foreign exchange rate at the date of settlement. Consequently, the conversion feature is classified as a derivative liability.

The Company allocated the proceeds of $15,000,000 first to the derivative component for $8,560,630, with the residual value to the liability component for $6,439,370. The derivative component was valued on initial recognition using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 0.69%; an expected volatility of 105%; an expected life of 2.71 years; a forfeiture rate of zero; and an expected dividend of zero.

22. Financial Instruments and Risk Management

The fair values of investments were measured using the cost, market or income approaches.  The investments measured at fair value are classified into one of the three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values, with the designation based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1 Inputs: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs other than quoted prices.

Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability (Unobservable inputs reflect management's assumptions on how market participants would price the asset or liability based on the information available).

Valuation of Assets that use Level 2 Inputs ("Level 2 Assets").  The fair value of Level 2 Assets would use the quoted price from the exchanges which the Company most frequently uses, with no adjustment.

The Company is exposed, in varying degrees, to a variety of financial related risks. The fair value of the Company's financial instruments, including cash, amounts receivable, investments, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company's primary exposure to credit risk is on its cash held in bank accounts as at December 31, 2021. The majority of cash is deposited in bank accounts held primarily with one major bank in Canada so there is a concentration of credit risk. This risk is managed by using a major bank that is a high credit quality financial institution as determined by rating agencies.

For the custody of its digital currencies, the Company uses the services of two financial institutions through custodial agreements, one financial institution located in Liechtenstein and another in the United States.

22. Financial Instruments and Risk Management (continued…)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.  The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining cash balances to ensure that it is able to meet its short term and long-term obligations as and when they fall due.  The Company manages company-wide cash projections centrally and regularly updates projections for changes in business and fluctuations caused by digital currency prices and exchange rates.

Foreign currency risk

Currency risk relates to the risk that the fair values or future cash flows of the Company's financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.  Exchange rate fluctuations affect the costs that the Company incurs in its operations as well as the currency in which the Company has historically raised capital.

The Company's presentation currency is the US dollar, major purchases are transacted in US dollars, while financing to date has been completed in Canadian and US dollars.  As the Company operates in an international environment, some of the Company's financial instruments and transactions are denominated in currencies other than an entity's functional currency.  A portion of the Company's general and administrative costs are incurred mainly in currencies separate from each entity's functional currency, such as Swiss Francs, the Euro, the Swedish Krona, and Icelandic Krona.  The fluctuation of these currencies in relation to the US dollar will consequently impact the profitability of the Company and may also affect the value of the Company's assets and liabilities and the amount of shareholders' equity.

The Company's net monetary position in the significant foreign currencies as of December 31, 2021 is summarized below with the effect on earnings before tax of a 10% fluctuation of each currency relative to the functional currency of the entity holding it to the US dollar:

Net Monetary PositionDecember 31, 2021( equivalent) Impact of 10% variance <br>in foreign exchange rate <br>(in foreign currency)
US Dollars 76,129,811 6,920,892
Canadian Dollars 365,044 26,787
Euros 3,055 329
Swiss Francs (153,914 14,774
Swedish Krona 2,103,584 22,390
Icelandic Krona 1486757 1071

All values are in US Dollars.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to interest rate risk is limited and only relates to its ability to earn interest income on cash balances at variable rates. Changes in short term interest rates will not have a significant effect on the fair value of the Company's cash account.

Price Risk

Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk.  The Company is not exposed to any significant price risks with respect to its financial instruments.

23. Digital Currency and Risk Management

Digital currencies are measured using Level 2 inputs (Note 10).

Digital currency prices are affected by various forces including global supply and demand, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation and the global political and economic conditions. The profitability of the Company is directly related to the current and future market price of coins; in addition, the Company may not be able liquidate its inventory of digital currency at its desired price if required. A decline in the market prices for coins could negatively impact the Company's future operations.  The Company has not hedged the conversion of any of its coin sales or future mining of digital currencies.

Digital currencies have a limited history and the fair value historically has been very volatile.  Historical performance of digital currencies are not indicative of their future price performance.  The Company's digital currencies currently consist of Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, and Bitcoin.  The table below shows the impact of the 25% variance in the price of each of these digital currencies on the Company's earnings before tax, based on their closing prices at December 31, 2021.

Impact of 25% variance in price
Ethereum $ 21,228,049
Ethereum Classic 8,054
Bitcoin 20,786,754

24. Capital Management

The Company manages its capital to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern and to provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders. The capital structure of the Company consists of equity comprised of issued share capital and reserves.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of economic conditions. The Company, upon approval from its Board of Directors, will balance its overall capital structure through new share issues or by undertaking other activities as deemed appropriate under the specific circumstances.

The Company is subject to externally imposed capital requirements due to its term loan (Note 15). The Company's overall strategy with respect to capital risk management remains unchanged from the year ended March 31, 2021.

DEFINED TERMS

ASIC: An ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) is a microchip designed for a special application, such as a particular kind of transmission protocol or a hand-held computer.  In the context of digital currency mining ASICs have been designed to solve specific hashing algorithms efficiently, including for Bitcoin mining.
Bitcoin or BTC Bitcoin refers to the native token of the Bitcoin network which utilizes the SHA-256 algorithm. Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer payment system and the digital currency of the same name which uses open source cryptography to control the creation and transfer of such digital currency.
Bitcoin Network The network of computers running the software protocol underlying Bitcoin and which network maintains the database of Bitcoin ownership and facilitates the transfer of Bitcoin among parties.
Blockchain A Blockchain is an immutable, decentralized public transaction ledger which records transactions, such as financial transactions in cryptocurrency, in chronological order. Bitcoin and Ethereum are the largest examples of a public blockchain.
Ether or ETH or Ethereum: Ether, ETH or Ethereum refers to the native token of the Ethereum Network which utilizes the ethash algorithm. Ethereum is a global, open-source platform for decentralized applications. Ethereum, ETH and Ether are used interchangeably to refer to the cryptocurrency.
Ethereum Classic: Ethereum Classic refers to the native token of the Ethereum Classic Network.
GPU: A GPU or Graphics Processing Unit, is a programmable logic chip (processor) specialized for display functions.  GPUs have proven to be efficient at solving digital currency hashing algorithms.
Hashrate: Hashrate is a measure of mining power whereby the expected revenue from mining is directly proportional to a miner's hashrate normalized by the total hashrate of the network.
Mining: Mining refers to the provision of computing capacity (or hashing power) to secure a distributed network by creating, verifying, publishing and propagating blocks in the blockchain in exchange for rewards and fees denominated in the native token of that network (i.e. Bitcoin or Ethereum, as applicable) for each block generated.
Network<br><br> <br>Difficulty: Network difficulty is a measure of how difficult it is to find a hash below a given target.
Proof of Work: Under proof of work consensus miners performing computational work on the network update the ledger; miners are incentivized to protect the network and put forth valid transactions because they must invest in hardware and electricity for the opportunity to mine coins on the network.  The success of a miner's business relies on the value of the currency remaining above the cost to create a coin.
Proof of Stake Under proof of stake consensus stakers who have sufficiently large coin balances 'staked' on the network update the ledger; stakers are incentivized to protect the network and put forth valid transactions because they are heavily invested in the network's currency.
Revaluation of<br><br> <br>Digital<br><br> <br>Currencies: Refers to the recognition of fair value adjustments to digital currency holdings based on available market prices at a point in time.
SHA-256: SHA-256 is a cryptographic Hash Algorithm.  A cryptographic hash is a kind of 'signature' for a text or a data file.  SHA-256 generates an almost-unique 256-bit (32-byte) signature for a text.  The most well-known cryptocurrencies that utilize the SHA-256 algorithm are Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash.

OUTLOOK

Operations

The Company has been continuing to utilize cash flows generated from its Ethereum mining operations to upgrade and expand its Ethereum mining equipment and to support the scaling up of its recently acquired Bitcoin mining operation in Canada.

COVID-19 and Upgrade Program

As it relates to the continuing impact from the COVID-19 virus, HIVE has enacted various measures to protect its employees and partners and prevent disruption to operations because of COVID-19, in alignment with local governments as well as national and international agency recommendations. These include ceasing non-essential travel and having employees work remotely.  The Company has reduced staff on site at its locations through aggressive work at home policies; however, the Company has been able to maintain full uptime of its cryptocurrency mining operations and its data centres and its supply chain continues to operate with only minimal disruption. The Company operates with a lean administrative structure and has few employees, as cryptocurrency mining is not a human capital-intensive industry. The Company's data centres are in sparsely populated areas near the Arctic Circle in Europe, in rural Quebec and New Brunswick.  Most operations management can be accomplished remotely, and any necessary equipment maintenance can be achieved by minimal staff utilizing personal protective equipment and maintaining physical distancing.  In spite of the preventative measures undertaken, the Company continues to be at risk of operational inefficiencies directly related to COVID-19 because of difficulties in the mobility of the Company's technical employees within Europe.  These mobility issues have alleviated somewhat over the past 6 months but continue to be present.  The Company continues to caution that current global uncertainty with respect to the spread of the COVID-19 virus and emerging variants and its effect on the broader global economy may have a significant negative effect on the Company.  While the precise impact of the COVID-19 virus on the Company remains unknown, the rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus and its variants may have a material adverse effect on global economic activity and can result in volatility and disruption to global supply chains, operations, mobility of people and the financial markets, which could affect interest rates, credit ratings, credit risk, inflation, business, financial conditions, results of operations and other factors relevant to the Company.

HIVE has undertaken a program to upgrade and expand its GPU equipment to maintain its Ethereum mining industry footprint.  The negative impact on the global supply chain related to the COVID-19 pandemic has continued to presednt challenges including increased shipping costs and obtaining equipment from China on a timely basis, which has extended this project into calendar 2022.  The Company faces uncertainty in the availability of equipment from suppliers as it relates to the Company's ASIC equipment. These continuing challenges are not just impacting our operations but are impacting all industries with one of the most vocal being the auto industry who because of a lack of semiconductors and microchips have had to cut back on car and truck production.  In addition, the cost of air and sea freight have surged over 100%. The chip shortage, high shipping costs, and challenging logistical processes are a global effect associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Even though the COVID-19 pandemic affects have had a negative impact on HIVE, the company was resilient and successfully completed 2 major acquisitions in April 2020 and April 2021, and even with the global supply chain delays experienced we have been able to expand our footprint in Canada for green and clean coins.

Ethereum Mining Industry Revenues of U.S. dollars per Day for each 1 Megahash per second of computing power;

April 1, 2021 - February 11, 2022

  • Ethereum mining, the economics have remained consistent after the London hardfork in early August. Despite difficulty increases in Winter 2021, strong Ethereum price action has kept Ethereum mining economics in the 6 to 10 US cents per MH/s per day range for the fiscal period from September 2021 to December 2021, consistent with Summer 2021 Ethreum mining economics prior to the London hardfork. There was a lot of speculation that the new fee structure for miners (originally designed to lower transaction fees to make Ethereum an economical blockchain for end users) would have a negative impact on profitability. While the London hardfork in early August 2021 has not correlated to a negative impact on Ethereum mining economics in the months that followed, it was only in January 2022 when we saw an Ethereum price correction to below US$3,000 which yielded mining economics in the 4 to 6 US cents per MH/s range. However in February 2022, signs of recovery emerged as Ethereum price has moved above US$3,000.
  • The Company believes the outlook for Ethereum mining is positive, and will continue to be very profitable as there is increased volume and adoption of users on the Ethereum blockchain, with many DeFi and Layer 2 projects keeping strong demand for the Layer 1 Ethereum proof-of-work blockchain.  The Company notes that, as a proof-of-work cryptocurrency, being energy intensive and thus an energy-backed cryptocurrency, Ethereum is a form of digital property, whereas Proof-of-Stake tokens which can be issued like securities (equity in a company), may potentially subject to securities laws. Furthermore, the founder of Ethereum (Vitalik Buterin) has recently gone on record acknowledging that the roadmap for proof-of-stake has been pushed out. The Company believes the broader Ethereum ecosystem derives resilience as a digital property, decentralization and high security, by Ethereum remaining as a proof-of-work system, and expects it to remain as such for years to come.
  • Ongoing production and delivery delays continue to be experienced at some of the major mining equipment manufacturers, it is likely that network difficulty may rise significantly in the future if prices continue to increase, and the production and delivery delays are solved at the manufacturers and their latest generation of mining equipment is delivered to miners and put into production.  If Bitcoin price rises in step with the increase in Difficulty, Bitcoin mining market conditions would be preserved, otherwise the rise in Difficulty will negatively impact Bitcoin mining market conditions. We have seen some stabilization in Bitcoin Difficulty where there was a price correction.

  • Bitcoin market conditions for miners during Winter 2021 were similar to the strongly favourable conditions from February to May 2021, where $/TH/day revenues were between 25 to 45 US cents. However, following near year-round highs in November 2021, December saw a correction in Bitcoin price which affected mining economics, putting mining economics in the 20 to 30 US cents per $/TH per day range. This downward trend was further continued in January 2022, putting the range from 16 to 25 US cents per $/TH/day revenues, although stabilizing and receiving to approximately 20 US cents per $/TH/day in early February 2022.  This is a result of increased in Difficulty, while Bitcoin price went below US$40,000 in January, only to find support and emerge above US$40,000 in February.  HIVE has encountered some seasonal high electricity prices in some of its operating jurisdictions (including electrical curtailment at the request of utility providers for load-balancing). Nonetheless, mining economics are still relatively healthy on a historical basis (comparing the last 3 years), and also are still profitable across the board for all of HIVE's Bitcoin operations, despite temporary seasonal electricity high prices due to the extreme cold weather.

Industry subject to evolving regulatory and tax landscape

Both the regulatory and tax landscape for digital companies is constantly evolving.  This applies as well to the emerging blockchain, distributed ledger, technology industry and the mining, use, sale and holding of tokens, or digital currencies, related to blockchain technology networks.

Operating in an emerging industry, the Company must constantly adapt to significant changes in regulatory, tax and industry rules and guidelines and obtain regulatory and tax advice from external global experts in this regard.  In addition, regulations and the rules, rates, interpretations, and practices related to taxes, including consumption taxes such as value added taxes (VAT), are constantly changing.

The Company's headquarters are in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and as such is subject to the jurisdiction of the laws of B.C. and Canada.  The Company intends to manage its data centres and trading operations from Bermuda, to simplify tax expectations and extend its eligible trading window for its cryptocurrencies, as Bermuda is under the Atlantic Standard Time zone.

However, the Company also has assets in a variety of other countries and is subject to changes in political conditions and regulations within these markets.  Changes, if any, in policies or shifts in political attitude could adversely affect the Company's operations or profitability.

Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations and decisions with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on price controls, currency remittance, income and consumption taxes, foreign investment, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, land use, electricity use and safety. Additionally, cryptocurrency prices are highly volatile, can fluctuate substantially and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company's control, including hacking, demand, inflation, and expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, global or regional political or economic events.

---

On-going and future regulatory or tax changes, actions or decisions may alter the nature of an investment in the Company or restrict the use of cryptocurrencies in a manner that adversely affects the Company's operations. The effect of any future regulatory change on the Company or any cryptocurrency that the Company may mine is impossible to predict, but such change could be substantial and adverse to the Company.

For example, governments may in the future curtail or outlaw, the acquisition, use or redemption of cryptocurrencies. Governments may also take regulatory action that may increase the cost and/or subject cryptocurrency companies to additional regulation or prohibit or severely restrict the right to acquire, own, hold, sell, use or trade cryptocurrencies or to exchange cryptocurrencies for fiat currency. By extension, similar actions by other governments, may result in the restriction of the acquisition, ownership, holding, selling, use or trading in the Company's common shares. Such a restriction could result in the Company liquidating its cryptocurrency inventory at unfavorable prices and may adversely affect the Company's shareholders.

The Company believes the present attitude to blockchain technology, and the digital currency mining industry is increasingly favourable in many countries, but conditions may change. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulation with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, foreign exchange controls, income and other taxes, and environmental legislation.

GENESIS SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

On June 28, 2019 the Company announced that they reached a settlement agreement with Genesis (the "Settlement Agreement") which positively resolved prior misunderstandings and disagreements.  As part of the settlement the Company assumed responsibility for the operation of the Sweden and Iceland data centres from Genesis.

After the Settlement Agreement, the Company received invoices under the Master Services Agreement from Genesis which the Company is disputing on the basis, inter alia, that the Company believes Genesis is in breach of its obligations of general and preventative maintenance, monitoring, repair, in-warranty repair or replacement of defective equipment and components of the Company's equipment at the Iceland Facility.

Additionally, after the Settlement Agreement, the Company is disputing with Genesis the amounts owed to the Company under the Cloud Mining Agreement.

NORWAY ACQUISITION

In May 2018 the Company acquired Liv Eiendom AS ("Liv Eiendom") and Kolos Norway AS ("Kolos") for total consideration of $12.3 million.

The property was expected to provide access to low-cost power in a cold climate, sourced from green and renewable energy sources for future growth opportunities.  However, in early December 2018 the Norwegian Parliament approved a legislative bill that cryptocurrency miners will no longer be subject to tax relief on power consumption at the same rate as other power-intensive industries.

Under the Norway agreement, as of March 31, 2021, the Company did not have rights to the land itself, but instead had the right to develop the land until certain provisions are met.  These provisions include raising approximately $22 million (200 million Norwegian Krone) before March 2021 which if not done the local Ballangen municipality would have the right to take back the land.  As a result, the land rights have been impaired, and the land has been written down to $nil for accounting purposes.

On May 10, 2021, the Company sold its Norwegian subsidiary Kolos to the local community under a share purchase agreement.  Under the agreement the Company transferred all the shares to the municipality, along with a $200,000 payment.

BLOCKBASE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP

In August 2019, the Company entered into a strategic partnership with Blockbase Group DWC-LLC ("Blockbase") to replace Genesis as the facility operator for the Company's flagship Sweden operation, with an open-ended term.  This transition was completed in November 2019.  Under the agreement Blockbase will provide all things necessary for the configuration, management, operation, security, maintenance and support for the Company's Sweden facility.  Blockbase's highly optimized software monitoring services are expected to enhance the efficiency of the Company's GPU mining operations while reducing costs.  Additionally, HIVE has entered into direct agreements with suppliers such as the local electricity providers, which are now providing full transparency of costs at the Company's Swedish operations.

On June 1, 2020, the Company extended its partnership with Blockbase to be the facility operator for the Company's Iceland operation.  HIVE will also work with Blockbase to undertake facility improvements and refurbish as necessary its mining rigs to improve mining efficiency

QUEBEC ACQUISITION

On April 8, 2020 the Company completed its acquisition of 9376-9974 Inc. ("9376") a dedicated cryptocurrency mining operation at a leased facility located in Lachute, Quebec from Cryptologic Corp. ("Cryptologic").

The purchase price allocation for acquisitions reflects various fair value estimates which are subject to change within the measurement period. The primary areas of purchase price allocation that are subject to change relate to the fair values of certain tangible assets, the valuation of identifiable intangible assets acquired, and residual goodwill. Measurement period adjustments that the Company determines to be material will be applied retrospectively to the period of acquisition in the Company's consolidated financial statements and, depending on the nature of the adjustments, other periods subsequent to the period of acquisition could also be affected. The Company expects to finalize the accounting for the acquisition by March 31, 2022.

Revenue from Digital Currency Mining

For the three months ended December 31, 2021, revenue was $68.2 million, an increase of approximately 397% from the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in cryptocurrency prices, the increased production of Bitcoin as a result of the Quebec and Atlantic facility acquisition from the installation of newly acquired miners for those facilities.

Gross Mining Margin and Gross Mining Margin %

For the three months ended December 31, 2021, HIVE's gross mining margin percentage was 90% against 78% for the prior year.

The Company's gross mining margin from digital currency mining is partially dependent on various external network factors including mining difficulty, the amount of digital currency rewards and fees it receives for mining, and the market price of the digital currencies at the time of mining.

For your reference is a Bitcoin price vs Bitcoin miners' revenues (in Bitcoin block rewards and transaction fees) vs block difficulty* chart for the 24-month period from October 2019 to September 2021:

Source: Glassnode.com

* Block Difficulty - A relative measure of how difficult it is to find a new block. The difficulty is adjusted periodically as a function of how much hashing power has been deployed by the network of miners.

The block reward is how new bitcoin is "minted" or brought into the economy. These rewards, which started at 50 Bitcoin at inception of the network in 2009, halve every 210,000 blocks, with the halving that occurred on May 11, 2020 resulting in a reward of 6.25 Bitcoin per block vs 12.5 immediately prior to the halving.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company commenced earning revenue from digital currency mining in mid-September 2017, however it has limited history and no assurances that historical performance will be indicative of future performance.  The Company is reliant on external financing to take advantage of growth opportunities and its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to efficiently mine and liquidate digital currencies.

As at December 31, 2021, the Company had a working capital balance of $253.1 million (March 31, 2021 - $97.7 million) and currently has sufficient cash to fund its current operating and administrative costs.

The net change in the Company's cash position as at December 31, 2021 as compared to March 31, 2021 was an increase of $23.4 million as a result of the following cash flows:

  • Cash provided by operating activities of $52.6 million;
  • Cash used in investing activities of $145.1 million related to the purchase of mining equipment, and deposits on mining equipment; and
  • Cash provided by financing activities of $114.9 million due share offerings and the exercise of stock options, offset by lease and debt payments.

OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA

At December 31, 2021 and at the date of this report, the following securities were outstanding:

RECONCILIATIONS OF NON-IFRS FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES

The Company has presented certain non-IFRS measures in this document.  The Company believes that these measures, while not a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS, provide investors an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company.  These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to other issuers.

Gross Mining Margin:

The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, it is helpful to investors to use the gross mining margin to evaluate the Company's performance and ability to generate cash flows and service debt.  The Gross mining margin is defined as the revenue from the mining of digital currencies less direct cash costs, being operating and maintenance costs.  Accordingly, this measure does not have a standard meaning and is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The following table provides illustration of the calculation of the gross mining margin for the last four quarters:

Calculation of Gross Mining Margin: Q3 2022 Q2 2022 Q1 2022 Q4 2021
Revenue (1) $ 68,183,402 $ 52,619,094 $ 37,239,767 $ 33,420,171
Less:
Operating and maintenance costs: (6,526,317 ) (7,593,349 ) (6,220,684 ) (5,726,129 )
Gross Mining Margin $ 61,657,085 $ 45,025,745 $ 31,019,083 $ 27,694,042
Gross Mining Margin % 90% 86% 83% 83%

(1) As presented on the statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

EBITDA & Adjusted EBITDA

The Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a metric that is useful for assessing its operating performance on a cash basis before the impact of non-cash items and acquisition related activities.

EBITDA is net income or loss from operations, as reported in profit and loss, before finance income and expense, tax and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for removing other non-cash items, including share-based compensation, non-cash effect of the revaluation of digital currencies and one-time transactions.

The following table provides illustration of the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the last four quarters:

Calculation of EBITDA & Adjusted <br>EBITDA: Q3 F2022 Q2 F2022 Restated<br>Q1 F2022 Q4 F2021 Q3 F2021

Key Management Compensation

Key management personnel include those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company as a whole. The Company has determined that key management personnel consist of members of the Company's Board of Directors and corporate officers.

For the period ended December 31, 2021, key management compensation includes salaries and wages paid to key management personnel and directors of $471,757 (December 31, 2020 - $577,728) and share-based payments of $2,827,181 (December 31, 2020 - $786,545).

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The Company has prepared the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS. Significant accounting policies are described in Note 5 of the Company's financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS 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 expenses during the reporting period.  Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.

The Company's significant judgements are detailed in Note 3 to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2021, and include: functional currency, classification of digital currencies as current assets, asset acquisitions, and revenue from digital currency mining.

The Company's significant estimates are detailed in Note 4 to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2021 and include: determination of asset fair values and allocation of purchase consideration, carrying value of assets, depreciation, deferred taxes, digital currency valuation and share-based compensation.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company is exposed, in varying degrees, to a variety of financial related risks. The fair value of the Company's financial instruments, including cash, amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature.  The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided in Note 22 to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2021.

DIGITAL CURRENCY AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Digital currencies are measured using level two fair values, determined by taking the rate from quoted price from the exchanges which the Company most frequently uses, with no adjustment.

Digital currency prices are affected by various forces including global supply and demand, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation and the global political and economic conditions.  The profitability of the Company is directly related to the current and future market price of coins; in addition, the Company may not be able liquidate its inventory of digital currency at its desired price if required.  A decline in the market prices for coins could negatively impact the Company's future operations.  The Company has not hedged the conversion of any of its coin sales or future mining of digital currencies.

Digital currencies have a limited history and the fair value historically has been very volatile.  Historical performance of digital currencies is not indicative of their future price performance.  The Company's digital currencies currently consist of Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, and Bitcoin.  The table below shows the impact of the 25% variance in the price of each of these digital currencies on the Company's earnings before tax, based on their closing prices at December 31, 2021.

Impact of 25% variance in price
Ethereum $ 21,228,049
Ethereum Classic 8,054
Bitcoin 20,786,754

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company faces several risks that are related to both the general cryptocurrency business as well as the Company's business model.  The risk factors described below summarize and supplement the risk factors contained in the Company's continuous disclosure filings, and this MD&A, all of which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, and should be read in conjunction with the more detailed risk factors outlined therein.

The Company is at risk due to the volatility/momentum pricing of any underlying digital currency mined by the Company and held in inventory - wide fluctuations in price, speculation, negative media coverage (highlighting for example, regulatory actions and lawsuits against industry participants) and downward pricing may adversely affect investor confidence, and ultimately, the value of the Company's digital currency inventory which may have a material adverse affect on the Company, including an adverse effect on the Company's profitability from current operations.  The Company is also at risk due to the volatility of network hashrates (and lag between network hashrate and underlying cryptocurrency pricing), which may have an adverse effect on the Company's costs of mining.  The Company is also at risk due to volatility in energy (electricity) pricing, a key factor in the Company's profitability of its mining operations, which is subject to, among other things, government regulation and natural occurrences which affect pricing.

The Company holds it digital currencies in cold storage solutions not connected to the internet.  The Company may not be able to liquidate its digital currency inventory at economic values, or at all.  Due to the infancy of the cryptocurrency industry, the Company may have restricted access to services available to more mainstream businesses (for example, banking services).  The general acceptance and use of digital currencies may never gain widespread or significant acceptance, which may materially adversely affect the value of the Company's digital currency inventory and long-term prospects of current operations.

An additional risk to the Company arises because of the potential shift from the use of a proof of work validation model by the Ethereum network to a proof of stake model.  The current proposal for Ethereum's shift to proof of stake has several unknown variables, including uncertainty over timing, execution and ultimate adoption; and there is not yet a definitive plan that is established and approved.  As a result of these uncertainties, the Company cannot estimate the impact of a potential change to proof of stake on operations but may see its competitive advantages decrease over time; this may have a material adverse effect on the Company.

HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. <br>Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations<br><br> <br>December 31, 2021<br><br> <br>Expressed in US Dollars unless otherwise indicated
---

The Company also faces risk relating to the impact of the timing and exchange rate fluctuations resulting from the remittance and receipt back of value added taxes where due, as well as risks related to the imposition and quantum of value added taxes in jurisdictions where the Company operates.  Due to the newness of the industry, there exists the possibility that the tax treatment of digital currencies becomes less favourable, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company may be required to sell its digital currency inventory in order to pay for its ongoing expenses (and in particular, expenses to maintain the Company's facilities), and such sales may not be available at economic values.

Given the novelty of digital currency mining and associated businesses, insurance over crypto assets is generally not available, or uneconomical for the Company to obtain which leads to the risk of inadequate insurance coverage.  The occurrence of an event may have a material adverse affect on the Company.  Additionally, while the Company takes measure to mitigate against losses of this nature, the Company's mined digital currency may be subject to loss, theft or restriction on access, including loss due to cybercrime (hacking).

In terms of regulatory risks, governments may take action in the future that prohibit or restrict the right to acquire, own, hold, sell, use or trade digital currencies or exchange digital currencies for fiat currency.  Such restrictions, while impossible to predict, could result in the Company liquidating its digital currencies inventory at unfavorable prices which may have a material adverse affect on the Company.  The Company has liquidated a portion of coins, partially to mitigate against the aforementioned risk.

The Company also has risks associated with the continually evolving tax and regulatory environments in the countries we operate, as described more fully under the heading "Industry subject to evolving regulatory and tax landscape" in the Outlook section above.  Any final decisions by tax or regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over the Company may have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position and operations

The Company cautions that current global uncertainty with respect to the spread of the COVID-19 virus and its effect on the broader global economy may have a significant negative effect on the Company. In particular, as a result of the uncertainty surrounding the impact of COVID-19 on global supply chains, including increased shipping costs and delays in obtaining equipment from China, the Company faces risks that the Company's program to update and expand the Company's GPU equipment will not complete as currently anticipated, which may cause material adverse effects on the Company's operations and results. Further, while the precise impact of the COVID-19 virus on the Company remain unknown, rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus may have a material adverse effect on global economic activity and can result in volatility and disruption to global supply chains, operations, mobility of people and the financial markets, which could affect interest rates, credit ratings, credit risk, inflation, business, financial conditions, results of operations and other factors relevant to the Company.

HIVE has undertaken a program to upgrade and expand its GPU equipment to maintain its Ethereum mining industry footprint. HIVE intended to complete this project by the end of calendar 2021, however the negative impact on the global supply chain related to the COVID-19 pandemic has presented challenges including increased shipping costs and obtaining equipment from China on a timely basis, which has led to delays of the project into calendar 2022.  Additionally, the Company faces uncertainty in the availability of equipment from suppliers as it relates to the Company's ASIC equipment.

Forward-looking information in this Management Discussion and Analysis includes information about the Company's use and profitability of the Company's computing power; plans for an aggressive growth and scaling up strategies; the Company's strategic partnership with Blockbase, including expected enhancements of the efficiency of the Company's GPU mining operations and reduced cost thereon; the Company's strategy to rapidly acquire, develop and operate data centres and potential growth of the Company's computing capacity; the Company's program to upgrade and expand its GPU equipment to maintain its Ethereum mining industry footprint, including timing thereon; expected electrical and mining capacity; the Company's plans to upgrade and expand its GPU equipment; the Company's plans to manage its data centres and trading operations from Bermuda; the value of the Company's digital currency inventory; the business goals and objectives of the Company, and other forward-looking information including but not limited to information concerning the intentions, plans and future actions of the Company.

The forward-looking information in this Management Discussion and Analysis reflects the current expectations, assumptions and/or beliefs of the Company based on information currently available to the Company.  In connection with the forward-looking information contained in this Management Discussion and Analysis, the Company has made assumptions about the expected delivery time for GPU equipment; historical prices of digital currencies and the ability of the Company to mine digital currencies will be consistent with historical prices; and there will be no regulation or law that will prevent the Company from operating its business.  The Company has also assumed that no significant events occur outside of the Company's normal course of business.  Although the Company believes that the assumptions inherent in the forward-looking information are reasonable, forward-looking information is not a guarantee of future performance and accordingly undue reliance should not be put on such information due to the inherent uncertainty therein.

This Management Discussion and Analysis also contains "financial outlook" in the form of gross mining margins, which are intended to provide additional information only and may not be an appropriate or accurate prediction of future performance and should not be used as such.  The gross mining margins disclosed in this Management Discussion and Analysis are based on the assumptions disclosed in this Management Discussion and Analysis, which assumptions are based upon management's best estimates but are inherently speculative and there is no guarantee that such assumptions and estimates will prove to be correct.

Risk factors that could cause future results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements and financial outlook are described in the Risk Factors contained in this Management Discussion and Analysis, and the Risk Factors contained the Company's various filings on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information or financial outlook, which speak only as of the date hereof.  We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to forward-looking information or financial outlook that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events except as required by law.

HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. went public in 2017 as the first cryptocurrency mining company with a green energy and ESG strategy.

HIVE is a growth-oriented technology stock in the emergent blockchain industry.  As a company whose shares trade on a major stock exchange, we are building a bridge between the digital currency and blockchain sector and traditional capital markets. HIVE owns state-of-the-art, green energy-powered data centre facilities in Canada, Sweden, and Iceland, where we source only green energy to mine on the cloud and HODL both Ethereum and Bitcoin. Since the beginning of 2021, HIVE has held in secure storage the majority of its ETH and BTC coin mining rewards.  Our shares provide investors with exposure to the operating margins of digital currency mining, as well as a portfolio of cryptocurrencies such as ETH and BTC.  Because HIVE also owns hard assets such as data centers and advanced multi-use servers, we believe our shares offer investors an attractive way to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency space.  HIVE traded over 2 billion shares in 2020.

Vancouver, Canada - HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (TSX.V:HIVE) (Nasdaq:HIVE) (FSE: HBF) (the "Company" or "HIVE") is pleased to announce a record earnings report for the third quarter ended December 31, 2021 (all amounts in US dollars, unless otherwise indicated).

For the three-month period, revenue rose to $68.2 million, up 30% compared with last quarter, and 397% since the same quarter last year.  Net income reached $64.2 million, up 7% from last quarter, and 273% since the prior year.

Hive's combined liquid BTC and ETH had a gross value of $168 million up 11x from $15 million a year ago ended December 31, 2020.  HIVE ended the current December quarter holding 1,813 Bitcoin ("BTC") worth $83.1 million and 23,290 Ether ("ETH") worth $84.9 million.

Frank Holmes, HIVE's Executive Chairman, stated "We wish to again thank our loyal shareholders for believing in our vision to mine both Ethereum and Bitcoin to generate robust cash flow returns on invested capital and we believe our results continue to validate the significant contribution to our strategy to mine both BTC and ETH and HODL as many coins as possible."

Darcy Daubaras, HIVE's CFO said "A year ago, we made the conscious decision not to sell our mined cryptocurrency or undertake an expensive financing when brokers were offering capital at 20% discounts or encouraging us to borrow against our BTC and ETH assets at a 12% cost of capital in the scramble by crypto mining companies to purchase more ASIC chips.  HIVE's modest equity funding's were done at prevailing market prices or premiums to the stock price, and this has helped us generate the highest robust returns on invested capital relative to our peers."

Q3 F2022 Financial Review

For the three months ended December 31, 2021, revenue from digital currency mining was $68.2 million, an increase of approximately 397% from the prior year primarily due to an increase in cryptocurrency prices, the increased production of Bitcoin as a result of the Quebec and Atlantic facility acquisition and the purchase of miners for those facilities.

Gross mining margin^1^ during the period was $61.7 million, or 90% of income from digital currency mining, compared to $10.6 million, or 78% of income from digital currency mining, in the same period in the prior year.  The Company's gross mining margin from digital currency mining is partially dependent on external network factors including mining difficulty, the amount of digital currency rewards and fees it receives for mining, as well as the market price of digital currencies.

Net income during the quarter ended December 31, 2021, was $64.2 million, or $0.17 per share, compared to $17.2 million, or $0.05 per share, the same period last year. The improvement was driven primarily by the improvement in gross mining margin^1^, higher Ethereum and Bitcoin prices, gains on the sale of digital currencies, and foreign exchange.

About HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd.

HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. went public in 2017 as the first cryptocurrency mining company with a green energy and ESG strategy.

HIVE is a growth-oriented technology stock in the emergent blockchain industry.  As a company whose shares trade on a major stock exchange, we are building a bridge between the digital currency and blockchain sector and traditional capital markets. HIVE owns state-of-the-art, green energy-powered data centre facilities in Canada, Sweden, and Iceland, where we source only green energy to mine on the cloud and HODL both Ethereum and Bitcoin. Since the beginning of 2021, HIVE has held in secure storage the majority of its ETH and BTC coin mining rewards.  Our shares provide investors with exposure to the operating margins of digital currency mining, as well as a portfolio of cryptocurrencies such as ETH and BTC.  Because HIVE also owns hard assets such as data centers and advanced multi-use servers, we believe our shares offer investors an attractive way to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency space.  HIVE traded over 2 billion shares in 2020.
