NATE’S FOOD CO.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
August 31, 2023
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 –Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K, on September 13, 2023. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year 2023 as reported in Form 10-K, have been omitted.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. A change in managements’ estimates or assumptions could have a material impact on Nate’s Food Co.’s financial condition and results of operations during the period in which such changes occurred. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Nate’s Food Co.’s financial statements reflect all adjustments that management believes are necessary for the fair presentation of their financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term marketable securities purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Digital Currencies
We currently account for all digital currencies held as a result of these transactions as indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. We have ownership of and control over our digital currencies and we may use third-party custodial services to secure it. The digital currencies are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently remeasured on the balance sheet date at cost, net of any impairment losses incurred since acquisition.
We determine the fair value of our digital currencies on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, based on quoted prices on the active exchange(s) that we have determined is the principal market for such assets (Level 1 inputs). We perform an analysis each quarter to identify whether events or changes in circumstances, principally decreases in the quoted prices on active exchanges, indicate that it is more likely than not that our digital currencies are impaired. In determining if an impairment has occurred, we consider the lowest market price of one unit of digital currency quoted on the active exchange since acquiring the digital currency. If the then current carrying value of a digital currency exceeds the fair value so determined, an impairment loss has occurred with respect to those digital currencies in the amount equal to the difference between their carrying values and the price determined.

Table of Contents |
Impairment losses are recognized within other income (expense) on the statements of operations in the period in which the impairment is identified. The impaired digital currencies are written down to their fair value at the time of impairment and this new cost basis will not be adjusted upward for any subsequent increase in fair value. Gains are not recorded until realized upon sale(s), at which point they are presented net of any impairment losses for the same digital assets held within other income (expense). In determining the gain to be recognized upon sale, we calculate the difference between the sales price and carrying value of the digital assets sold immediately prior to sale.
As of August 31, 2023, the market value of digital currencies was higher than the Company’s cost basis by $
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value. The three tiers are defined as follows:
Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets, liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability other than quoted prices, either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; or directly or indirectly including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active.
Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at August 31, 2023 and May 31, 2023, measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Earnings per Share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method for outstanding warrants and options and using the if-converted method for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Equipment
Bitcoin mining equipment is stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed on the straight-line method over the useful life of four years and is included in the cost of revenue.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard’s stated core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, ASC 606 includes provisions within a five-step model that includes identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when, or as, an entity satisfies a performance obligation.
Our revenues currently consist of cryptocurrency mining revenues, which we began generating in September 2021. The Company earns its cryptocurrency mining revenues by providing transaction verification services within the digital currency networks of cryptocurrencies, for Bitcoin. The Company satisfies its performance obligation at the point in time that the Company is awarded a unit of digital currency through its participation in the applicable network and network participants benefit from the Company’s verification service. In consideration for these services, the Company receives Bitcoin, net of applicable network fees, which are recorded as revenue using the closing U.S. dollar price of Bitcoin on the date of receipt. Expenses associated with running the cryptocurrency mining operations, which are currently utilities, depreciation and monitoring services are recorded as cost of revenues. During the three months ended August 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company generated Bitcoin mining revenue of $
There is currently no specific definitive guidance in GAAP or alternative accounting frameworks for the accounting for the production and mining of digital currencies and management has exercised significant judgment in determining appropriate accounting treatment for the recognition of revenue for mining of digital currencies. Management has examined various factors surrounding the substance of the Company’s operations and the guidance in ASC 606, including identifying the transaction price, when performance obligations are satisfied, and collectability is reasonably assured being the completion and addition of a block to a blockchain and the award of a unit of digital currency to the Company. In the event authoritative guidance is enacted by the FASB, the Company may be required to change its policies which could result in a change in the Company’s financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has determined that there are no applicable recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on these financial statements.
Note 2 – Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has negative working capital, recurring losses, and does not have an established source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the succeeding paragraphs and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
In the coming year, the Company’s foreseeable cash requirements will relate to continual development of the operations of its business, maintaining its good standing and making the requisite filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the payment of expenses associated with operations and business developments. The Company may experience a cash shortfall and be required to raise additional capital.
Historically, it has mostly relied upon internally generated funds such as shareholder loans and advances to finance its operations and growth. Management may raise additional capital by retaining net earnings or through future public or private offerings of the Company’s stock or through loans from private investors, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain such financing. The Company’s failure to do so could have a material and adverse effect upon it and its shareholders.

Note 5 – Derivative Liability
The Company analysed the variable discounted conversion options on its convertible note (Note 4) for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and determined that the embedded conversion option should be classified as a liability due to there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options. The Company accounts for warrants as a derivative liability due to there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of all conversion options.

General Overview
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on January 12, 2000, under the name Capital Resources Alliance, Inc. At inception, we were a development stage company in the business of mining and exploration. On May 19, 2014, our company completed a reverse merger with Nate’s Pancakes, Inc., an Indiana company, with Nate’s Pancakes being the surviving entity. In May 2014, we changed our name from Capital Resource Alliance, Inc. to Nate’s Food Co.
In connection with the reverse merger, we became a food manufacturing and product company, and in May 2014, we executed a licensing agreement with Nate’s Pancakes to market and sell “Nate’s Homemade,” exclusively throughout the world.
Our Current Business
In General. Historically, our food development division has licensed, developed and manufactured food products. Our Board of Directors determined that we cease product manufacturing and development of new products for our food development division. We are, however, continually exploring options to license our developed products, a ready-to-use, pre-mixed pancake and waffle batter delivered in a pressurized can. We are also exploring options on monetizing our proprietary blend of pancake and waffle dry mix. Our current product line consists of the original flavor of pancake and waffle mix and three additional flavors, Banana, Blueberry and Strawberry. The flavors can be found at www.natesfoodco.com/brands, however, are not currently for sale.
The Company is engaged in “Bitcoin Mining” – i.e. the process by which Bitcoins are created resulting in new blocks being added to the blockchain and new Bitcoins being issued to the miners. Bitcoin Miners engage in a set of prescribed complex mathematical calculations in order to add a block to the blockchain and thereby confirm cryptocurrency transactions included in that block’s data. Miners that are successful in adding a block to the blockchain are automatically awarded a fixed number of Bitcoins for their effort. The Company will only mine Bitcoin.

Our Food Products
Our food products production has been halted and we are focused on licensing our developed products consisting of a ready-to-use, pre-mixed pancake and waffle batter delivered in a pressurized can. Our current product is an original flavor of pancake and waffle batter and we have developed three flavors for our pancake and waffle mix. Once we have resumed production, we plan to continue to expand into other baked goods and other non-breakfast areas.
Food Manufacturing and Distribution
We have not entered into any agreements with a third-party manufacturer. We have not entered into any agreements with an outside distributor.
Our Bitcoin Mining Business
The Company is engaged in “Bitcoin Mining” – i.e., the process by which Bitcoins are created resulting in new blocks being added to the blockchain and new Bitcoins being issued to the miners. The Company has acquired ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) computers - computers specifically designed for cryptocurrency mining - that are currently mining Bitcoin. The Bitcoin Mining equipment is hosted by 3rd party datacenters or farms (often referred to as a “Co-Location”) that power and operate our Bitcoin Mining equipment for a fee. We generate revenues through receiving Bitcoin from our Bitcoin Mining equipment.
Current Status
We have determined to continue our Bitcoin mining operations as a hedge against inflation and as a means to bolster our balance sheet through the accumulation of Bitcoin funds in the coming financial periods. Our management hopes that the consistent additional cash inflows from conversion of mined Bitcoin into fiat currency will permit our company to develop more products and expand our product line.
We currently own thirty-one Bitcoin computers, or miners, in operation at a co-location facility located in the State of Kentucky. We pay electricity, hosting and maintenance charges billed to us by our co-location facility provider monthly, we receive earned Bitcoin reports each day that we earn Bitcoin from the mining operations of our Bitcoin minders.
Results of Operations
The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed financial statements for the three months ended August 31,2023, and 2022, which are included herein.

As of August 31, 2023, our Company had $3,734 in cash. In the management’s opinion, our Company’s cash position is insufficient to maintain our operations at the current level for the next 12 months. Any expansion may cause our company to require additional capital until such expansion begins generating revenue. It is anticipated that the raising of additional funds will principally be through the sales of our securities.
As of August 31, 2023, our total current liabilities were $723,738 which consisted of $41,000 in accrued management fees – related party, $120,632 in accrued interest-related party, $121,129 in accrued interest, $156,885 in derivative liability, $45,331 in accounts payable, $943 in loans payable and $237,818 in convertible notes as compared to May 31, 2023, with total current liabilities of $1,094,976 which consisted of $153,849 in derivative liability, $397,935 in notes payable–related parties, $102,054 accrued interest-related party, $107,263 in accrued interest, $46,239 in accounts payable, $254,693 in convertible notes, $943 in loans payable and $32,000 in management fess- related party.

Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. The impact on our business operations and any associated risks related to these policies are discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations when such policies affect our reported or expected financial results.
In the ordinary course of business, we have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our most difficult, subjective, and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
The material estimates for our Company are that of derivative liabilities and income tax valuation allowance recorded for deferred tax assets. The estimated sensitivity to change is related to the various variables of the Black-Scholes option pricing model stated below. The specific quantitative variables are included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The estimated fair value of options is recognized as expense on the straight-line basis over the options’ vesting periods. The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the expected life, dividend yield, expected volatility, and risk-free interest rate weighted-average assumptions used for options and warrants granted. Expected volatility for 2023 and 2022 was estimated using our common stock for convertible notes and warrants. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the grant date. The expected life of options is based on the life of the instrument on grant date.
Digital Currencies
Digital currencies consist of Bitcoin and are included in intangible assets in the balance sheet. Digital currencies are recorded at cost less impairment. The Company compares the book value of digital currencies held to the prevailing market price at each reporting period. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. In testing for impairment, the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted. Realized gains or losses on the sale of digital currencies are included in other income (expense) in the statements of operations.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The fair value of an embedded conversion option that is convertible into a variable amount of shares and warrants that include price protection reset provision features are deemed to be “down-round protection” and, therefore, do not meet the scope exception for treatment as a derivative under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”, since “down-round protection” is not an input into the calculation of the fair value of the conversion option and warrants and cannot be considered “indexed to the Company’s own stock” which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815.
The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the embedded conversion option and warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was used to estimate the fair value of the conversion options. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time, of other comparative securities, equal to the weighted average life of the options.
Conversion options are recorded as debt discount and are amortized as interest expense over the life of the underlying debt instrument.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of August 31, 2023. This evaluation was carried out under supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of August 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has identified the following material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that, as of August 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 that occurred in the quarter ended August 31,2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
