In the first half of the year, Harmonychain carried out a capital increase of
NOK 110 million gross. This capital increase made it possible for the wholly
owned company Lokotech AS, to continue the development of a Scrypt Application
Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) for use in a Scrypt supercomputer both
internally and in collaboration with North American engineers with experience
from this. Lokotech AS has also entered into a framework agreement with Keytouch
Technology AS for future possible production of a Scrypt computer and associated
hardware. This framework agreement may form the basis for future production of a
Scrypt supercomputer as well as associated hardware such as our smart power
supply unit.

The board proposes the following coverage of the loss of NOK 2,868,326 in the
parent company: Transferred from other equity. The group's result for the first
half of 2021 amounted to a loss of NOK 6,091,341.


Events after 6/30/2021:

On 29th July 2021, Lokotech AS was informed that the company's SkatteFUNN
application had been approved by the Research Council of Norway. The application
covers research and development costs associated with Lokotech's main
investment. The support amounts to up to 19% of amounts up to NOK 25 million per
year.

On 16th August 2021, preliminary simulations received by Lokotech AS indicate
that the design of Scrypt ASIC's most important component has been improved so
that it is now assumed to be more power efficient. However, one does not get
exact figures on the actual performance of an ASIC until a physical prototype is
made and this physical ASIC is tested.

On 6th September 2021, Arctic Core AS received confirmation of the purchase of a
property for the development of a data center of 995 square meters of indoor
area in Halden. The property was 100% financed by equity. Final documentation is
expected around 30 September 2021, and we expect to take over the property
around 16 November 2021. The property is part of a former industrial property,
and has access to transformers on site. It requires some development in the work
to scale operations to the desired level. We plan to use the property for our
own hardware, test units and / or hosting high-performance computer hardware for
third parties.

The Harmonychain Group plans to offer services for customers who want to
establish traditional data centers, HPC and blockchain verification in Norway.
The data center industry in Norway is experiencing increasing demand due to good
infrastructure and environmentally friendly energy. We are also looking for more
relevant properties for rent or purchase. 

The company has per 15th September 2021 bank deposit of approx. 83 MNOK after
adjustment for the purchase price of the property in Halden.
