CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q includes certain statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements for purposes of federal and state securities laws. These forward-looking statements involve uncertainties that could significantly affect our financial or operating results. These forward-looking statements may be identified by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “foresee,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would” “could” and “should” and the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance. Forward-looking statements in this document include, among other things, statements regarding our business plan, business strategy and operations in the future. In addition, all statements that address operating performance and future performance, events or developments that are expected or anticipated to occur in the future, including statements relating to creating value for stockholders, are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Matters and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements include but are not limited to the matters and factors described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of Greenidge's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 31, 2022 and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the SEC, which should be reviewed carefully. Please consider Greenidge's forward-looking statements in light of those risks.

Greenidge Generation Holdings Inc.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Greenidge Generation Holdings Inc. (“Greenidge”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) own and operate a vertically integrated cryptocurrency datacenter and power generation company. The Company owns and operates facilities at two locations: the Town of Torrey, New York and Spartanburg, South Carolina. The Company’s cryptocurrency datacenter operations generate revenue in the form of bitcoin by earning bitcoin as rewards and transaction fees for supporting the global bitcoin network with application-specific integrated circuit computers (“ASICs” or “miners”) owned or leased by the Company. The earned bitcoin is then exchanged for U.S. dollars. The Company owns and operates a 106 megawatt ("MW") power facility that is connected to the New York Independent System Operator (“NYISO”) power grid. The Company sells electricity to the NYISO at all times when its power plant is running and increases or decreases the amount of electricity sold based on prevailing prices in the wholesale electricity market and demand for electricity.
Merger with Support.com, Inc.
On September 14, 2021, GGH Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Greenidge, merged with and into Support.com, Inc. (“Support.com”), with Support.com continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Greenidge, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 19, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), among Greenidge, Support.com and Merger Sub.
The Merger combined the respective businesses of Greenidge and Support.com through an all-stock transaction and has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations, with Greenidge being deemed the acquiring company for accounting purposes (see Note 3). Prior to the Merger, Greenidge's class A common stock ("class A common stock") was registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and, upon completion of the Merger on September 15, 2021, began trading on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “GREE”. Concurrently, Support.com deregistered its shares pursuant to the Exchange Act.
Support.com provides solutions and technical programs to customers delivered by home-based employees. Support.com’s homesourcing model, which enables outsourced work to be delivered by people working from home, has been specifically designed for remote work, with attention to security, recruiting, training, delivery, and employee engagement. Since the consummation of the Merger, the Support.com business operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary and a segment of Greenidge.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Presentation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
In the opinion of Greenidge management, the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results for the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any future interim period. The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements of the Company in Greenidge's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during 2022.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements, Adopted
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application.
7
This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. As an emerging growth company, the Company has elected to adopt this pronouncement following the effective date for private companies beginning with periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. MERGER WITH SUPPORT.COM
As described in Note 1, on September 14, 2021, Greenidge and Support.com combined their respective businesses through an all-stock merger transaction where Support.com became a wholly owned subsidiary of Greenidge. The Merger has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Greenidge was determined to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes.

Effective September 14, 2021, following the completion of the Merger (see Notes 1 and 3), Support.com began operating within the Company as a separate operating and reporting segment; therefore, Greenidge has
The Cryptocurrency Datacenter and Power Generation segment generates revenue primarily by earning bitcoin, with miners that are owned by the Company, as rewards and transaction fees for supporting the global bitcoin network. The Cryptocurrency Datacenter and Power Generation segment also sells surplus electricity generated by its power plant, and not consumed in cryptocurrency datacenter operations, to the NYISO power grid at prices set on a daily basis through the NYISO wholesale market. In addition, the Company receives revenues from the sale of its capacity and ancillary services in the NYISO wholesale market. The Cryptocurrency Datacenter and Power Generation segment operates in the United States.
The Support Services segment provides solutions and technical programs to customers delivered by home-based employees. The Support Services segment provides customer service, sales support, and technical support primarily to large corporations, businesses and professional services organizations. The Support Services segment also earns revenues for end-user software products provided
8
through direct customer downloads and sales via partners. The Support Services segment operates primarily in the United States, but also has employees located in Philippines, India, Mexico, Colombia and Canada, including those staff providing support services.
The Company’s measure of profit or loss for segment reporting is income (loss) before income taxes, interest and depreciation and amortization and adjusted for share based compensation and excluding items not indicative of ongoing business trends (referred to as “segment Adjusted EBITDA”). This is the measure used by the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker to assess performance and allocate resources.

The income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the estimate of the annual effective tax rate is updated, and if the estimated effective tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is made. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates or tax status is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.
The Company's effective tax rate was
The Company continues to evaluate the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and will adjust such amounts in light of changing facts and circumstances. In making such an assessment, management would consider all available positive and negative evidence, including the level of historical taxable income, future reversals of existing temporary differences, tax planning strategies, and projected future taxable income.
12. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company calculates basic earnings per share by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The diluted earnings per share is computed by assuming the exercise, settlement, and vesting of all potential dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period using the treasury stock method.

Overview
Cryptocurrency Datacenter and Power Generation Segment
We own cryptocurrency datacenter operations in the Town of Torrey, New York (the "New York Facility") and in Spartanburg, South Carolina (the “South Carolina Facility” and, together with the New York Facility, the “facilities”). The New York Facility is a vertically integrated cryptocurrency datacenter and power generation facility with an approximately 106 megawatt (“MW”) natural gas power generation facility that has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years. We generate all the power we require for our cryptocurrency datacenter operations in the New York Facility, where we enjoy low power costs due to our access to the Millennium Pipeline price hub, which provides relatively low market rates for natural gas. At the South Carolina Facility, we purchase power from a supplier of approximately 60% zero-carbon sourced energy. We believe our competitive advantages include low fixed costs, an efficient mining fleet and in-house operational expertise. We are currently mining bitcoin and contributing to the security and transactability of the bitcoin ecosystem while concurrently supplying power to assist in meeting the power needs of homes and businesses in the region served by our New York Facility.
As of March 31, 2022, we powered approximately 56 MW of mining capacity capable of producing an estimated aggregate hash rate of 1.6 EH/s at our facilities, substantially all of which is dedicated to bitcoin mining. Our Cryptocurrency Datacenter and Power Generation segment generates revenue i) through the exchange of bitcoins earned by ASICs as rewards and transaction fees for U.S. dollars and, to a much lesser extent, through revenue earned from third parties for hosting ASICs owned by third parties and providing operations, maintenance and other blockchain related services to third parties and ii) through the sale of electricity generated by our power plant, and not consumed in cryptocurrency datacenter operations, to New York State’s power grid at prices set on a daily basis through the NYISO wholesale market. We opportunistically increase or decrease the total amount of electricity sold by the power plant based on prevailing prices in the wholesale electricity market.
We believe that our behind-the-meter power generation capability provides a stable, cost-effective source of power for cryptocurrency datacenter activities. Our behind-the-meter power generation capability provides us with stable delivery due to the absence of any contract negotiation risk with third-party power suppliers, the absence of transmission and distribution cost risk and the firm delivery of natural gas for our New York Facility via our captive pipeline. Notwithstanding the structural stability of our behind-the-meter capabilities, we do however procure natural gas at our New York Facility through a third-party energy manager which schedules delivery of our natural gas needs from the wholesale market which is subject to price volatility. We procure the majority of our natural gas at spot prices and enter into fixed price forward contracts from time to time for the purchase of a portion of anticipated natural gas purchases based on prevailing market conditions to partially mitigate the financial impacts of natural gas price volatility and to manage commodity risk. These forward contracts qualify for the normal purchases and sales exception under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815, Derivatives and Hedging, as it is probable that these contracts will result in physical delivery.
Volatility in the natural gas market may impact our results of operations and financial performance. Natural gas prices have been on an upward trajectory since June of 2021 and are expected to continue at elevated levels during 2022. Volatility in the natural gas market may be caused by disruption in the delivery of fuel, including disruptions as a result of weather, transportation difficulties, global demand and supply dynamics, labor relations, environmental regulations or the financial viability of fuel suppliers. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Risks Related to our Power Generation Operations” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Support Services Segment
Our Support Services segment provides solutions and technical programs to customers delivered by home-based employees. The Support Services segment provides customer service, sales support, and technical support primarily to large corporations, businesses and professional services organizations. The Support Services segment also earns revenues for end-user software products provided
17
through direct customer downloads and sale via partners. The Support Services segment operates primarily in the United States, but also has employees located in Philippines, India, Mexico, Columbia and Canada, including staff providing support services.
Miner Fleet Growth
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we deployed approximately 2,100 additional miners, bringing our total miners to approximately 19,400, capable of producing an estimated aggregate hash rate of approximately 1.6 EH/s and consuming capacity of approximately 56 MW. At March 31, 2022, we had approximately 29,600 miners ordered from Bitmain anticipated to be delivered by the end of the year, representing approximately 3.1 EH/s in additional capacity, including our launch order for Bitmain’s new Antminer S19 XP. These new advanced miners have substantially greater hash rate capacities and use electric power more efficiently than our existing miner fleet.
Results of Operations
The following table sets forth key components of the results of operations of Greenidge during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Total revenue increased $26.6 million, or 240.4%, during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the prior year period. The increase in revenue was driven primarily by the Cryptocurrency Datacenter and Power Generation segment, specifically our cryptocurrency datacenter operations, due to our significantly expanded miner fleet over the last year. The merger with Support.com, whereby GGH Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Greenidge, merged with and into Support.com, Inc. (“Support.com”), with Support.com continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of Greenidge, increased revenue $8.5 million during the three month period ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the prior year period.
Refer to the "Segment Discussion" of this MD&A for a more detailed discussion of revenues from the Cryptocurrency Datacenter and Power Generation segment and the Support Services segment.

Total cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, increased 261.1% to $16.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the prior year period due to the significant increase in cryptocurrency datacenter fleet requiring an increase in the use of megawatt hours ("MWh"). Additionally, the cost of revenue per MWh (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) increased significantly for both cryptocurrency datacenter operations and power and capacity operations primarily due to a significant increase in the natural gas cost per dekatherm, which increased approximately 83% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period of 2021. The Merger added $4.1 million to cost of revenue, or 88.9%, to total cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the prior year period.
Total cost of revenue as a percentage of total revenue increased due primarily to the inclusion of the Support Services Segment, which operates at a lower margin than our Cryptocurrency Datacenter and Power Generation Segment, and also due to the impact of the higher cost of natural gas on the Cryptocurrency Datacenter and Power Generation segment.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $11.2 million, or 345.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the prior year period primarily due to costs related to operating as a public company and costs of corporate infrastructure to support the Company’s growth, including $2.1 million of costs related to assessing potential expansion opportunities, costs of insurance, and wages associated with increased headcount. In addition, the Merger added $2.6 million of selling, general and administrative expenses.
Merger and other costs
Merger and other costs represented costs associated with the Merger, as well as professional and other fees associated with becoming a publicly traded company.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased $2.7 million, or 215.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the prior year period primarily due to the purchase and deployment of additional miners. Additionally, the acquisition of
19
Support.com increased depreciation and amortization by $0.3 million, or 25.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the prior year period.
Income from operations
Greenidge reported income from operations of $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in the income from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2022, was driven by the increased cryptocurrency datacenter operations, partially offset by the increased natural gas cost and higher costs to support our overall growth, including costs of being a public company, expansion costs and higher depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted income from operations was $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of 143.2% as compared to the same period of 2021. The improvement in adjusted operating income as compared to the same period of 2021 is primarily attributable to an increase in bitcoin mining hash rate, partially offset by higher costs, primarily the increased cost of natural gas and higher depreciation and amortization. Adjusted income from operations is a non-GAAP performance measure. A reconciliation of reported amounts to adjusted amounts can be found in the "Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliations" section of this MD&A.
Other (expense) income, net
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, Greenidge incurred other expense as compared to other income in the same period of 2021, primarily due to increased interest expense associated with the incurrence of debt to finance the expansion of the mining fleet.
(Benefit) provision for income taxes
The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $0.4 million, or an effective tax rate of 46.2%, during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and a provision for income taxes of $0.7 million, or an effective tax rate of 36.4%, during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was different from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes and tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 includes the recognition of a deferred tax liability caused by the reorganization from a limited liability company to a corporation during the first quarter of 2021.
Net (Loss) Income
As a result of the factors described above, Greenidge incurred a net loss of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to net income of $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
On an adjusted basis, excluding the after-tax impact of the Merger-related costs, costs associated with becoming a public company and expansions costs, adjusted net income during the three months ended March 31, 2022 would have been $1.3 million as compared to $1.4 million in the same period in 2021. Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP performance measure. A reconciliation of reported amounts to adjusted amounts can be found in the "Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliations" section of this MD&A.

Revenue
Cryptocurrency datacenter revenue
For its cryptocurrency datacenter revenue, we generate electricity on-site from our power plant located at the New York Facility and use that electricity to power ASIC miners, generating bitcoin that we then exchange for U.S. dollars or hold in our wallet. Our cryptocurrency datacenter revenue increased by $14.2 million, or 158.2%, during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Such increase was attributable to our increased mining fleet resulting in a 267.3% increase in the average hash rate during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increased average hash rate, partially offset by a higher average mining difficulty, led to us producing 561 bitcoins in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to 213 bitcoins in the first quarter of 2021. The increased number of bitcoins produced, partially offset by the lower average bitcoin price in 2022, resulted in the significant growth in cryptocurrency datacenter revenue.
Power and capacity revenue
Power and capacity revenue at our New York Facility is earned when we sell capacity and energy and ancillary services to the wholesale power grid managed by the NYISO. Through these sales, we earn revenue in three streams, including: (1) power revenue received based on the hourly price of power, (2) capacity revenue for committing to sell power to the NYISO when dispatched and (3) other ancillary service revenue received as compensation for the provision of operating reserves. Our power and capacity revenue increased 186.7% to $5.9 million during the first quarter of 2022 as a result of higher prices, signified by the higher power and capacity revenue per MWh, and an increase in volume, signified by the increase in power and capacity MWh. Due to more severe weather in the month of January 2022 as compared to 2021, we curtailed cryptocurrency datacenter operations at the New York Facility for a period of time when there was a spike in power demand, which coincided with higher prices for electricity.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA
Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the Cryptocurrency Datacenter and Power Generation segment increased to $7.3 million for the first quarter of 2022 from $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2021. The increase in segment Adjusted EBITDA was driven by the significant increase in cryptocurrency datacenter operations due to the expansion of our mining fleet, as well as the higher pricing for power during the first quarter of 2022 due to weather conditions in New York during January 2022. The increased revenue was partially offset by higher costs, including higher natural gas cost and increased administrative costs to support the business expansion.
Cryptocurrency datacenter revenue per MWh and power and capacity revenue per MWh are used by management to consider the extent to which it will generate electricity to either produce cryptocurrency or sell power to the New York wholesale power market. Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) per MWh represents a measure of the cost of natural gas, emissions credits, payroll and benefits and other direct production costs associated with the MWhs produced to generate the respective revenue category for each MWh utilized. Depreciation and amortization costs are excluded from the cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) per MWh metric; therefore, not all cost of revenues for cryptocurrency datacenter and power and capacity are fully reflected. To the extent any other cryptocurrency datacenters are public or may go public, the cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) per MWh metric may not be comparable because some competitors may include depreciation in their cost of revenue figures.
Support Services Segment
Greenidge acquired Support.com, which constitutes the Support Services segment as of close of business on September 14, 2021. As such, there were no operations included in our consolidated results in the first quarter of 2021. Support Services had revenue of $8.5 million and segment Adjusted EBITDA of $1.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The most significant accounting estimates involve a high degree of judgment or complexity. Management believes the estimates and judgments most critical to the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and to the understanding of our reported financial results include those made in connection with goodwill and intangible assets, accounts receivable, digital assets, emissions expense and credits, environmental and asset retirement obligations and revenue recognition. Management evaluates its policies and assumptions on an ongoing basis.
Our significant accounting policies related to these accounts in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements are described under the heading “Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical
22
Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. As of the date of this filing, there were no significant changes to any of the critical accounting policies and estimates previously described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliations
The following non-GAAP measures are intended to supplement investors' understanding of our financial information by providing measures which investors, financial analysts and management use to help evaluate our operating performance. Items which we do not believe to be indicative of ongoing business trends are excluded from these calculations so that investors can better evaluate and analyze historical and future business trends on a consistent basis. Definitions of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similar definitions used by other companies. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
“EBITDA” is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization. “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation and other special items determined by management, including, but not limited to costs associated with the Merger, costs of becoming a public company (which included the costs of corporate reorganization from an limited liability company, public registration of shares and associated costs), business expansion costs, fair value adjustments for certain financial liabilities (including asset retirement obligations), costs associated with debt and equity transactions, and impairment charges as they are not indicative of business operations. Adjusted EBITDA is intended as a supplemental measure of our performance that is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. Management believes that the use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with those of comparable companies, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. However, you should be aware that when evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, we may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. In addition, our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same fashion.
Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our
23
GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA on a supplemental basis. You should review the reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA above and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $96.5 million. To date, we have primarily relied on debt and equity financing to fund our operations and to meet ongoing working capital needs and to execute on the initial stages of our business plan. During the first quarter of 2022, we obtained approximately $108 million of additional committed financings, of which approximately $81 million was funded during March 2022, through two different agreements described further below.
We may seek to raise capital through alternative sources, such as a public offering, an additional private placement of our equity or debt securities or traditional or non-traditional credit facilities. If we raise additional equity financing, our stockholders may experience significant dilution of their ownership interests, and the per share value of our class A common stock could decline. Furthermore, if we engage in additional debt financing, the debt holders would likely have priority over our stockholders, on order of payment preference.
While we held a relatively small amount of digital assets for an extended period as of March 31, 2022, our current business strategy is to sell digital assets within a short period after earning such assets. We may choose to change this strategy in the future. The average period between receipt of bitcoin and the subsequent conversion to cash is less than one day because at least 95% of the bitcoin mined each day is liquidated the same day it is mined. Our liquidity is subject to volatility in both number of bitcoins mined and the underlying price of bitcoin.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The debt payments included in the table above include the principal, interest and risk premium amounts due. The lease payments include fixed monthly rental payments and exclude any variable payments.
At March 31, 2022, we had $135.3 million of cash on deposit for future miner purchases and have significant future commitments related to these purchases included in the table above. Our operating cash flows are affected by several factors including the price of bitcoin and cost of electricity and natural gas; therefore, we may require additional capital in order to meet the commitments above. Management believes that our existing financial resources, combined with our ability to delay or alter our planned expansion steps, are sufficient to meet our operating and capital requirements for at least 12 months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. This is predicated on us achieving our forecast which could be negatively impacted by items outside of our control, in particular, significant decreases in the price of bitcoin, regulatory changes concerning cryptocurrency, increases in energy costs or other macroeconomic conditions (including if further COVID-19 outbreaks require further statewide shutdowns) and the other matters identified in Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in the operating cash flow during the first three months of 2022 as compared to 2021 was driven primarily by benefits from working capital as accounts payable and accrued expenses increased more significantly in 2022 than in 2021.
Net cash used in investing activities was $70.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, purchases of and deposits for property and equipment significantly increased as compared to the prior year due to the expansion of our miner fleet for cryptocurrency mining.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $78.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $37.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the net cash provided by financing activities consisted of $80.4 million of net proceeds from debt and $3.8 million of net proceeds from issuance of common stock, offset by $5.9 million of payments of debt principal and finance lease obligations. For the first three months of 2021, the net cash provided by financing activities consisted of $37.1 million in proceeds from issuance of preferred stock and $1.0 million of proceeds from stock options exercised, partially offset by $0.8 million of principal payments on debt.
Master Equipment Finance Agreement
On March 21, 2022, Greenidge, as guarantor, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries GTX Gen 1 Collateral LLC, GNY Collateral LLC and GSC Collateral LLC (collectively, the “Borrowers”) entered into a Master Equipment Finance Agreement (the “NYDIG Financing Agreement”) with NYDIG ABL LLC (“NYDIG”), as lender, whereby NYDIG agreed to lend to the Borrowers approximately $81 million under loan schedules that were partially funded for approximately $54.0 million in March 2022 and will continue to be funded to finance the acquisition of certain bitcoin miners and related equipment (the “Financed Equipment”). The Borrower’s obligations under the NYDIG Financing Agreement are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Greenidge. Outstanding borrowings under the NYDIG Financing Agreement are secured by all assets of the Borrowers including without limitation the Financed Equipment and proceeds thereof (including bitcoin). The partially funded loan schedules bear interest at a rate of 13% per annum and have terms of twenty-five months. Certain loan schedules are interest-only for a specified period and otherwise payments on loan schedules include both an interest and principal payment.
Secured Promissory Note
In addition to the NYDIG Financing Agreement, on March 18, 2022, Greenidge also issued a secured promissory note, as borrower, in favor of B. Riley Commercial Capital, LLC, as noteholder (the “Noteholder”), evidencing a $26.5 million aggregate principal amount loan by the Noteholder to the Company (the “Secured Promissory Note”). The Secured Promissory Note is guaranteed by certain of Greenidge’s wholly-owned subsidiaries: Greenidge South Carolina LLC, GSC RE LLC and 300 Jones Road LLC. The loan outstanding under the Secured Promissory Note bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum and matures on July 20, 2022, subject to up to five 30-day extensions that may be elected by Greenidge provided no Event of Default (as defined therein) has occurred and is continuing and Greenidge pays an Exit Fee (as defined therein) to the Noteholder. The Secured Promissory Note is secured by a first priority mortgage lien on certain real property together with related improvements, fixtures and personal property located at the South Carolina Facility. Greenidge’s obligations under the Secured Promissory Note may be prepaid in whole or in part without penalties or fees.

Emerging Growth Company Status
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act ("JOBS Act"). As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards.
In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Its financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1.07 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our class A common stock that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of March 31, 2022, that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported when required and the information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
27
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in such matters may arise and harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. For information on legal proceedings, refer to Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Matters in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
On December 17, 2020, certain parties filed an Article 78 petition with the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Yates County, that challenged the Town of Torrey’s site plan review for the planned expansion of our cryptocurrency datacenter in the Town of Torrey. We were joined in the petition as a necessary party. The petition asserted two errors by the Town of Torrey in its review of the site plan. In April, 2022, the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Yates County denied the parties’ petition.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, includes a discussion of our risk factors which are incorporated herein. Through the quarterly period covered by this report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Greenidge's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On September 15, 2021, we entered into a purchase agreement (the “2021 Purchase Agreement”), with B. Riley Principal Capital, LLC (“BRPC”) pursuant to which we had the right to sell to BRPC up to $500 million in shares of class A common stock, subject to certain limitations and the satisfaction of specified conditions in the 2021 Purchase Agreement, from time to time over the 24-month period commencing on October 6, 2021. On April 6, 2022, we and BRPC mutually agreed to terminate the 2021 Purchase Agreement, effective immediately on such date. From January 1, 2022 to April 6, 2022, we issued 415,000 shares of our class A common stock to BRPC under the Purchase Agreement. We intend to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including funding capital expenditures, future acquisitions, investments and working capital and repaying indebtedness.
On April 7, 2022, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of April 13, 2022 (as amended, the “2022 Purchase Agreement”) with BRPC, pursuant to which we have the right to sell to BRPC up to $500 million in shares of class A common stock, subject to certain limitations and the satisfaction of specified conditions in the 2022 Purchase Agreement, from time to time over the 24-month period commencing on April 28, 2022. From April 28, 2022 to May 16, 2022, we issued 15,000 shares of our class A common stock to BRPC under the Purchase Agreement. We intend to use the net proceeds, if any, for general corporate purposes, including funding capital expenditures, future acquisitions, investments and working capital and repaying indebtedness.
The sales of the above securities were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The recipients of the securities in each of these transactions represented their intentions and appropriate legends were placed upon the stock certificates issued in these transactions.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
