This forward-looking information is based on
reasonable assumptions and estimates of management of the Company

performance or achievements of the Company to be materially
different from any future results, performance or achievements

exchange risks; the need for the Company to manage its planned
growth and expansion; the effects of product development and need
for continued technology change; protection of proprietary rights;
the effect of government regulation and compliance on the Company
and the industry; network security risks; the ability of the
Company to maintain properly working systems; reliance on key

the Province of Québec, the ability to complete current and future
financings, any regulations or laws that will prevent Bitfarms from
operating its business; historical prices of digital currencies and
the ability to mine digital currencies that will be consistent with
historical prices; an inability to predict and counteract the
effects of COVID-19 on the business of the Company, including but

currencies, capital market conditions, restriction on labour and
international travel and supply chains; and there will be no
regulation or law that will prevent Bitfarms from operating its
