Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in US dollars)
(unaudited)
1.Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business
Verde Bio Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on
Going Concern
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. During the period ended October 31, 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $
2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a)Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompany notes filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended April 30, 2023. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period.
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The condensed consolidated financial statements are comprised of the records of the Company and its wholly-owned inactive subsidiary, IP Control Risk Inc., a company incorporated in the State of Nevada, United States. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. The Company’s fiscal year end is April 30.
(b)Use of Estimates
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
F-7
VERDE BIO HOLDINGS INC.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in US dollars)
(unaudited)
2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(b)Use of Estimates (continued)
The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the collectability of accounts receivable relating to oil and gas interests which is based on the operator’s production statements, carrying value of oil and gas properties, the useful life, carrying value, and incremental borrowing rate used for right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, the fair value of stock-based compensation, revenue recognition including the calculation of the reserves and the fair value of the reserves for oil and gas interests, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
(c)Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
The Company computes net 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 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 and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. 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. As of October 31, 2023, the Company had 488,910,788 (April 30, 2023 – 984,228,889) potentially dilutive common shares outstanding.
(d) Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures and discloses the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy prescribed by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy has three levels, which are based on reliable available inputs of observable data. The hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The three-level hierarchy is defined as follows:
Level 1 – quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2 – quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3 – fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
Financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable, convertible debentures and amounts due to related parties. The fair value of cash is determined based on Level 1 inputs. There were no transfers into or out of “Level 3” during the period ended October 31, 2023. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)
2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(d) Fair Value Measurements (continued)
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
(a)Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
3.Right-of-Use Operating Lease Asset and Lease Liability
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the ROU asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the ROU asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.
On March 11, 2021, the Company entered into a sublease agreement with a sublandlord regarding its office at 5750 Genesis Court, Suite 220, Frisco, Texas 75036. The agreement was treated as an operating lease in accordance with ASC 842, Lease, which resulted in initial recognition of right-of-use asset and lease liability of $122,120. The incremental borrowing rate used in the calculation is 18%.

Going Concern
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive acquisitions and activities.

At October 31, 2023, the Company has a working capital deficit of $1,902,163 and an accumulated deficit of $16,681,778. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report on Form 10-Q does not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Future Financings
We will continue to rely on equity sales of our Common Shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned acquisitions and exploration activities.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
