Olenox Industries is an energy company that acquired Bitcoin miner CS Digital Ventures in May. It reported preliminary July production of 15.13 BTC against a June 30 balance sheet. The balance sheet carried $1.21 million of cash and $26.26 million of current liabilities.<\/p>\n

However, the output had a gross value of about $1.16 million at the Aug. 21 Bitcoin spot price of $76,371.25. It was not equivalent to disclosed revenue, sale proceeds or available cash. For part of the fleet, Olenox received the full Bitcoin output. It still owed a hosting invoice for power, management fees and profit share that had not been finalized.<\/p>\n

Operationally, Olenox recorded 1.02 EH\/s of average operational hashrate, equal to 64% of the fleet\u2019s economic capacity. The company cited summer heat, low-power-mode operation and normal equipment availability. All three operating figures were preliminary and unaudited.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Aug. 19 quarterly filing put the production number in sharper relief. Olenox had $3.40 million of total current assets at June 30, leaving a working-capital deficit of about $22.9 million.<\/p>\n

Importantly, its current liabilities were not all debt immediately due. They included $14.55 million of accounts payable and accrued expenses. Other items included lease current maturities, amounts due to affiliates, credit lines, derivative liabilities, convertible notes, short-term notes and current maturities of long-term debt.<\/p>\n

Olenox nevertheless said its losses, negative working capital and negative operating cash flows raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. It had no committed sources of additional financing at June 30. The company said it might have to delay or curtail planned activities if it could not obtain capital when needed.<\/p>\n
