Operational Update
Cedarcross International Technologies
Inc. ("Cedarcross")
The
Company's investee company, Cedarcross, has made significant strides in its
pursuit to become a major AI compute provider.
On
April 2, 2024, the Company announced a $3.7 million secured loan (the
"Loan") to Cedarcross to purchase 10 Nvidia H100 HGX 8GPU servers
capable of 700,000 compute hours per annum. The Loan is secured against all
present and after acquired property of Cedarcross, including specific asset
security against five (5) Nvidia 8GPU HGX H100 Servers ("Nvidia H100 Servers").
The Loan is repayable in full on July 1, 2025, and will bear interest at a rate
of 15% per annum.
AI Computing Leasing
On
April 25, 2024, Cedarcross entered into a two-year AI computing leasing
agreement expected to generate approximately $5.5 million in total revenue,
with aggregate gross margin of approximately $4.4 million over the contract's
duration. Cedarcross will provide approximately 700,000 compute hours annually,
totaling 1.4 million AI compute hours over the contract's duration. This agreement
underscores Cedarcross' growing influence and capabilities in the realm of AI
infrastructure.
As
highlighted in a recent interview with Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, Altman
emphasized the critical role of computing power, suggesting that
"compute" will be the "currency of the future."1
Cedarcross, aligned with this vision, is strategically positioned to address
this escalating demand by providing access to the world's fastest AI servers,
leveraging Nvidia's H100 HGX GPUs.
Cedarcross
has established an AI computing hub, powered by Nvidia H100 Servers. Currently,
five (5) Nvidia H100 Servers are fully installed and interconnected using
Infiniti brand network components. Each server is linked to eight 400GB optical
modules, ensuring optimal efficiency. Cedarcross sold five (5) of its
previously purchased Nvidia H100 Servers to Big Energy Investments Inc., DBA
Ceti AI ("Ceti AI"), (as described in HPC Computing Server
Distribution section). The proceeds from this sale funded a purchase order made
through CoinDigger DBA Earthmade Computer Corp. ("Earthmade") for
five (5) additional Nvidia H100 Servers from Super Micro Computer, Inc.
(NASDAQ: SMCI), solidifying Cedarcross' relationships with both Earthmade and
Super Micro Computer, Inc.
Cedarcross
has begun accruing revenue from its initial five (5) Nvidia H100 Servers and
anticipates incremental revenue from its additional five (5) Nvidia H100
Servers to start accruing soon after the delivery and installation of the
additional servers sourced from Earthmade and Super Micro Computer, Inc.
(NASDAQ: SMCI).
HPC Computing Server Distribution
On
April 22, 2024, Cedarcross entered into a Distribution Agreement incremental to
its previously announced Supply Agreement with Earthmade. The Distribution
Agreement enables Cedarcross to distribute Nvidia GPU High-Performance
Computing (HPC) servers and receive assistance from Earthmade in obtaining
hardware allocation from Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI).
Additionally,
Cedarcross entered into an HPC server purchase agreement with Ceti AI for the
sale of five (5) Nvidia H100 HGX 8GPU servers, generating approximately C$2.3
million in gross revenue. The aggregate return for Cedarcross is expected to be
up to $240K, subject to ordinary course chargebacks and associated expenses.
On
May 16, 2024, Cedarcross signed an agreement with an arm's length counterparty
to distribute 64 Nvidia H100 Servers, generating $26 million in revenue for
Cedarcross. The estimated gross margin from this agreement will be
approximately $2.3 million.
Cedarcross
has now secured cumulative revenue year-to-date of approximately $28 million
through its HPC server distribution business vertical alone. These agreements
underscore the robust demand and strategic market positioning of Cedarcross in
the HPC landscape.
Vertex AI Ventures Inc.
("Vertex")
On
May 21, 2024, Vertex announced a strategic partnership with Nom Nom AI Inc.,
formalized through a Master Services Agreement. This collaboration focuses on
AI data engineering and automation to enhance business intelligence and
innovation. Vertex aims to offer advanced data management tools, while Nom Nom

Outlook
Cedarcross
aims to secure additional HPC Server Distribution contracts, service its
computing leasing client, and leverage expected and future cash flows to
acquire additional servers to grow its computing leasing business. Cedarcross
is also exploring compute-for-equity structured transactions in the event of
excess compute capacity with future HPC servers, potentially lending
significant upside to Cedarcross.
Vertex
plans to leverage its partnership with Nom Nom to drive innovation in managed
data services and AI, enhancing data quality, security, and infrastructure
performance. This collaboration is expected to bring forth numerous benefits
for future clients, including enhanced data observability, insights,
optimization of machine performance, and real-time analytics, particularly for those
utilizing Alset's portfolio companies' AI computing infrastructure.
