• Material Weaknesses in Internal Controls

  Management identified two material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting (ICFR): an absence of a formally designed process for complex, non-recurring transactions and an inability to obtain timely service organization control reports from a custodian. A remediation plan is in the design phase.

• Significant Impairment Loss on Intangible Assets

  The company recognized a $12.1 million impairment loss on its intangible assets (validator nodes) for the six months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to declines in delegated Solana, increased network competition, and uncertainty in validator economics.

• Financial Statement Restatement

  The interim unaudited condensed financial statements for the six months ended March 31, 2026, were amended to correct revaluation loss on digital assets, earnings per share, cash flow, statement of equity, fair value changes, and stock option activity. These corrections had no impact on the total comprehensive loss, total assets, liabilities, or shareholders' equity.

• Liquidity and Capital Position

  As of March 31, 2026, the company had $0.4 million in cash and cash equivalents against $1.8 million in current liabilities. However, it holds $60.6 million in digital assets and has access to a $150 million shelf prospectus and a $480 million convertible note facility for liquidity.

This amended filing reveals critical deficiencies in SOL Strategies' internal control over financial reporting (ICFR), specifically regarding complex transaction accounting and timely access to custodian reports. These material weaknesses undermine the reliability of the company's financial statements, despite the amendments not changing the previously reported total comprehensive loss, assets, or equity. Additionally, the company recognized a significant $12.1 million impairment loss on intangible assets, reflecting challenges in its validator operations and the volatile crypto market. While the company has substantial digital assets and access to capital, its current cash position is low relative to current liabilities, highlighting ongoing liquidity management needs.
