With an ultimate goal of uplisting to the NASDAQ, BlockQuarry Corp. (OTC: BLQC) may be set to soar this week after it completed its 2022 annual audit – putting it one step closer to becoming SEC reporting. In addition, the company promised to share a press release this week which could be related to its anticipated merger with Minersnet. Given the potential of the merger as well as the company completing its 2022 audit, BLQC stock is one to watch closely this week.
BLQC Fundamentals
Back in late January, BLQC and Minerset signed an LOI where both companies agreed to merge with each other. This merger may benefit the company’s shareholders greatly considering the value Minerset adds to the company. Since its inception in 2017, Minerset generated more than $300 million in revenue by distributing more than 120 thousand crypto mining devices to customers around the world.
Given its revenue generation ability, Minerset is set to significantly boost BLQC’s revenues once the deal is completed which could bolster the company’s status in the public markets. With the company promising to release PR this week, it could be related to this merger since it previously shared that it intends to share PR once the full agreement is approved.
As is, the merger with Minerset is only a step toward BLQC’s ultimate goal which is uplisting to the NASDAQ as it previously shared. Considering that the company completed its 2022 annual audit, uplisting may not be a far-fetched dream – which makes BLQC stock an interesting stock to watch this year.
BLQC Financials
According to its Q1 2023 report, BLQC’s assets slightly declined QoQ mainly due to the drop in its property and equipment from $6.4 million to $5.6 million, and while its cash balance fell sharply from $317.6 thousand to $33.1 thousand, its accounts receivable increased from $274.5 thousand to $922.1 thousand.
That said, the company’s liabilities decreased QoQ from $15.4 million to $11.4 million due to the drop in convertible notes payable in default declining from $7.7 million to $93.4 thousand as a result of the noteholders converting their notes.
In terms of revenue, BLQC witnessed a YoY increase from $792.7 thousand which was driven by cryptocurrency self mining to $922.1 thousand which was driven by services revenue. At the same time, the company’s margins took a massive hit since its gross profit of $231.3 thousand last year turned into a gross loss of $1 million.
However, operating costs slightly declined from $472.2 thousand to $386.2 thousand due to a gain on cryptocurrency that amounted to $69.2 thousand last year. Despite the company’s gross loss, its net loss improved YoY from $1.3 million to $924.5 thousand which is largely due to a $1.5 million gain on extinguishment of notes payable that it reported in Q1 2023.
