INVESTOR HIGHLIGHTS

WE ARE POSITIONED TO CAPITALIZE ON THE DOMESTIC AND GLOBAL RESHAPING OF ENERGY GENERATION, STORAGE AND DISTRIBUTION

By offering industry leading critical power equipment and powerful data driven software controls, our market potential touches the majority of energy intensive grid connections throughout the country, and even the world.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS Our software platform enables the integration of a variety of power generation sources into the ever expanding distributed electric grid and Pioneer's Custom Electric Products are an integral component of connecting power generation sources to the grid Together, we offer all distributed power project developers and producers of power generation assets a one-stop shop for creating a fully integrated distributed energy resources Our position in the market means our investors success is not tied to the success or downfall of a single type of energy technology. Integrated Hardware and software solution leads to significant margin expansion for the combined company Company has established channels to market through strategic partners and self-development. MARKET: WHY US - WHY NOW Distributed energy resources pose the biggest disruption to the utility business model in a century, sales of DER products are expected to grow 3 to 5 times faster than central grid products (Navigant Research). The grid is getting more distributed, the distributed energy market is growing at a compound rate of 21% The confluence of technology improvements occurring today is more compelling, more efficient and more accessible than ever before. FINANCIAL Acquisition of Pioneer CEP brings $15 Million dollars of annual baseline revenue to CleanSpark Pioneer CEP’s revenue has grown at an average compound rate of 47.8% over the past 5 years.

OPPORTUNITY THROUGH INTEGRATION

SOFTWARE PARALLELING SWITCHGEAR

Inte tegrated s strate tegy – Pioneer Power Custom Electric Products(PCEP) was recently awarded a contract to build a $2.3 Mil. parallel switch gear. As part of the scope of the project PCEP is required to integrate energy monitoring software. The budget for the software integration is approximately $350,000. Historically this has been a COS COST for PCEP. CleanSpark is able to provide this software turning the costs into REVENUE

  • REVENUE. Software margins on direct costs are as high as 80-90% by integrating the

software in-house the projects gross margin can increase from 7-12% to 20-25%.
