Sentiment
Score: 2
Explanation: The sentiment is overwhelmingly negative due to the 'going concern' warning, significant and increasing net losses, severe working capital deficit, critically low cash balance, and disclosed material weaknesses in internal controls. While strategic acquisitions and an uplisting are positive developments, they are overshadowed by the fundamental financial instability and operational control issues.
Positives
- T-REX Acquisition Corp. successfully acquired a data center and co-location facility in Orofino, Idaho, on March 4, 2025, expanding its operational footprint in the cryptocurrency hosting sector.
- The company acquired proprietary software and technical know-how from Baoblock, Inc. for $210,000, aiming to support future business initiatives in software services.
- T-REX was approved for uplisting from the OTC Pink Market to the OTCQB Venture Market on May 12, 2025, which enhances market visibility and transparency for investors.
- The company generated $8,226 in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $0 in the prior year period, indicating new operational activity from its Orofino facility.
- Total assets increased significantly to $1,028,163 as of March 31, 2025, from $152,249 as of June 30, 2024, primarily due to the acquisition of plant and equipment and intangible assets.
Negatives
- The company incurred a net loss of $1,122,930 for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, an increase from $813,771 in the prior year, indicating worsening financial performance.
- Total revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, decreased to $8,226 from $15,824 in the same period of 2024.
- T-REX has a substantial working capital deficit of $1,787,668 and an accumulated deficit of $8,146,728 as of March 31, 2025.

- A significant portion of the company's debt consists of notes payable to related parties, totaling $740,046 as of March 31, 2025.
Risks
- There is substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern due to recurring net losses, accumulated deficit, and inadequate cash position.
- The company's ability to meet its liquidity requirements and fund operations is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital through public or private offerings, which is not assured.
- The cryptocurrency mining industry is subject to factors like the complexity of transaction verification, general availability of processing capacity, and rapid technological obsolescence, which can impact the company's ability to generate digital assets.
- The recent Bitcoin halving on April 20, 2024, reduced the reward per block to 3.125 BTC, which could negatively impact mining revenue.
- The company has material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, specifically deficiencies in segregation of duties and limited qualified accounting personnel, which could lead to material misstatements in financial statements.
- The company has not filed tax returns since its 2015 filings and remains subject to potential examination by tax authorities.
Future Outlook
T-REX Acquisition Corp. expects its working capital requirements to increase with business growth and plans to fund these requirements, including capital expenditures and business expansion, through proceeds from the issuance of debt or equity. The company intends to further implement its business plan and generate revenues to sustain operations.
Management Comments
- "Management intends to raise additional funds by a private or public offering and further implement its business plan to generate additional revenues."
- "Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern."
- Frank Horkey, President and CFO, certified that the report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and fairly presents the financial condition and results of operations, despite acknowledging ineffective disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting.
Industry Context
T-REX Acquisition Corp. operates in the emerging and volatile cryptocurrency sector, specifically focusing on Bitcoin mining, co-location hosting services, and developing software for cryptocurrency operations. The industry is characterized by rapid technological advancements, significant energy consumption, and fluctuating cryptocurrency prices, as evidenced by the recent Bitcoin halving event which reduces mining rewards. The company's strategic pivot to acquiring a co-location facility and developing proprietary software aligns with a trend towards vertical integration and diversification within the digital asset space, aiming to control more aspects of the value chain from mining to infrastructure and software support.
Comparison to Industry Standards
- The company's reliance on debt and equity financing for operations and growth is common for early-stage or rapidly expanding companies in the high-capital-expenditure cryptocurrency mining and hosting industry.
- The reported net loss and accumulated deficit are indicative of a company in a growth or early operational phase, which is not uncommon in emerging technology sectors, but the 'going concern' warning suggests a more severe financial instability compared to established industry players.
- The identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, particularly regarding segregation of duties and limited qualified accounting personnel, fall below industry best practices and regulatory expectations for publicly traded companies, regardless of size.
- The early adoption of ASU No. 2023-08 for marking Bitcoin to market aligns with evolving accounting standards for digital assets, enhancing transparency in line with industry trends.

Stakeholder Impact
- **Shareholders**: Face significant dilution risk from ongoing share issuances for debt conversion, compensation, and capital raises. The 'going concern' warning indicates a high risk of value impairment or potential business failure. The uplisting to OTCQB may offer increased liquidity and transparency but does not mitigate fundamental financial risks.
- **Employees/Management**: Management and advisors are receiving significant compensation in the form of shares and notes, indicating a reliance on equity-based incentives given the company's cash constraints. The identified internal control weaknesses could impact operational efficiency and accountability.
- **Creditors**: Related and unrelated noteholders face risks given the company's substantial accumulated deficit and working capital deficit, raising questions about the company's ability to repay its debts, especially the $267,555 note due May 15, 2025.
- **Customers (Co-location)**: The acquisition of the Orofino facility and plans for advanced software suggest an intent to improve service offerings, but the company's financial instability could pose risks to service continuity or quality.
Next Steps
- The company intends to raise additional funds through private or public offerings to support operations and growth.
- Management plans to further implement its business plan to generate additional revenues.
- The company will continue to operate its newly acquired Orofino co-location facility and develop its software services through Deinodon.
- The Sabretooth subsidiary is expected to commence operations in the future, focusing on modular container fabrication for off-site cryptocurrency mining.
