In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors” that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
In this annual report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to “common shares” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.
As used in this current report and unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Company,” “we,” “us,”, “our” and “our Company” mean Nate’s Food Co., unless otherwise indicated.
General Overview
We were incorporated in the state of Colorado on January 12, 2000. Nate’s Food Co. is domiciled in the state of Colorado, and its corporate headquarters are located in Huntington Beach, California. On May 12, 2014, Nate’s Pancakes Inc. was incorporated in the state of Indiana. On May 19, 2014, the Company completed a reverse merger between Nate’s Pancakes, Inc and Capital Resource Alliance. Nate’s Pancakes was the surviving company. In May 2014, the Company changed its name from Capital Resource Alliance 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.
Since 2021, the Company has been 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 purchased ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) computers - computers specifically designed for cryptocurrency mining - that is being used for Bitcoin Mining. We have placed this Bitcoin Mining equipment with 3rd party datacenters or farms (often referred as a “Co-Location”) that power and operate our Bitcoin Mining equipment for a fee. We are currently generating revenues through receiving Bitcoin from our Bitcoin Mining equipment.
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.
Seasonality
We do not expect our sales of our food products to be seasonal in nature.
Our Food Product Customers
Our products were being sold across the United States to a variety of customers through our online store at www.nateshomemade.com. We are also exploring options on monetizing our proprietary blend of pancake and waffle dry mix.
We have previously delivered samples of our products to retail chains such as Wal-Mart, Target, Sam’s Club, Costco, Kroger, BJ’s and Albertson’s and in retail stores and evaluate their interest of our product.
Competition
Competition is based on total computing power, known as hashing or hash rate. Groups of miners form pools that compete against each other. Miners share the revenue generated by their pool. Miners are cooperating in the pool and pools are competing against each other. This competition of hashing capacity and speed requires miners to continuously update mining equipment. Mining equipment obsolescence is a major operating expense. We cannot assure that it will be able to recover equipment costs fast enough to replace their earning capacity with newer mining equipment which would result in an operating loss.
Investopedia explains that “Anyone with access to the internet and suitable hardware can participate in mining.” It explains further: “How hard is it to mine Bitcoins? Well that depends on how much effort is put into mining across the network. Following the protocol laid out in the software, the Bitcoin Network automatically adjusts the difficulty of the mining every 2016 blocks, or roughly every two weeks. It adjusts itself with the aim of keeping the rate of block discovery constant. Thus, if more computational power is employed in mining, then the difficulty will adjust upwards to make mining harder. And if computational power is taken off the network, the opposite happens. The difficulty adjusts downward to make mining easier. The higher the difficulty level, the less profitable mining is for each participant. The total payout depends on the price of Bitcoin, the block reward, and the size of the transaction fees, but the more people mining, the smaller the slice of that pie each person gets.”

Food Business Competition. The food business is a highly competitive environment. We have numerous competitors of varying sizes, including manufacturers of private label products, as well as manufacturers of other branded food products, which compete for trade merchandising support and consumer dollars. We compete with large conventional consumer packaged foods companies.
Competitive factors in our industry include product innovation, product quality, price, brand recognition and loyalty, product variety and ingredients, product packaging and package design, effectiveness of marketing and promotional activity, and our ability to identify and satisfy consumer tastes and preferences.
Food-Related Regulations
As a manufacturer and distributor of food products, we are subject to a number of food-related regulations, including the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and regulations promulgated thereunder by the FDA. This comprehensive regulatory framework governs the manufacture (including composition and ingredients), labeling, packaging, and safety of food in the United States. The FDA:
| · | regulates holding, distribution and manufacturing practices for food ingredients and foods through its current good manufacturing practices regulations and periodically inspects manufacturing facilities to audit compliance; |
| · | specifies the standards of identity for certain foods, including many of the products we sell; and |
| · | prescribes the format and content of certain information required to appear on food product labels. |
In March 2014, the FDA issued a proposed rule that would make significant changes to the information appearing in, and the format of, the nutrition facts appearing on food labels. In July 2015, the FDA issued a supplemental proposed rule to establish a reference value for added sugars and to require a declaration of the percent daily value of added sugars on the food label. The proposed rule would also revise the footnote in the nutrition label regarding the percent daily value. It is not clear whether FDA will issue final regulation or, if it does, how much time FDA will give food manufactures to bring their labels into compliance. During the time our products were in production we worked with our co-packer to ensure that all of our products were fully compliant with all relevant FDA regulations.
In addition, the FDA enforces the Public Health Service Act and regulations issued thereunder, which authorizes regulatory activity necessary to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases. These regulations require, for example, pasteurization of milk and milk products. The FDA also is implementing the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2011 (“FSMA”) which, among other things, mandates that the FDA adopt preventive controls to be implemented by farms, warehouses, food facilities and transporters in order to minimize or prevent hazards to food safety.

Table of Contents |
In September 2015, FDA released final rules implementing the Produce Safety and Current Good Manufacturing Practices, Hazard Analysis and Risk Based Preventive Controls (HARPC) requirements for human food and animal food, which was a major milestone in the implementation of FSMA. The final rules revise the FDA’s food safety regulations by: (1) codifying good agricultural practices and water fertilizer action limits, (2) updating and revising certain requirements in the existing current good manufacturing practices regulations (current 21 CFR Part 110), (3) requiring the establishment and implementation of a food safety system that includes an analysis of hazards and risk-based preventive controls and sets requirements for a written food safety plan, and (4) adding new requirements for a risk-based end-to-end supply chain program. Compliance is required by September 19, 2016, with respect to the new good manufacturing practices and HARPC regulations, and by January 2017, with respect to the new produce safety rules. We remained in full compliance with all relevant manufacturing and production safety rules and regulations until we suspended all production activities in 2018.
We are subject to numerous other federal, state, and local regulations involving such matters as the licensing and registration of manufacturing facilities, enforcement by government health agencies of standards for our products, inspection of our facilities, and regulation of our trade practices in connection with the sale of our products. In response to food-borne illness events, FDA scrutiny of the food and beverage industry has increased over the past few years, which has required food and beverage companies to dedicate additional resources to the areas regulated by the FDA.
Labeling Regulations
We are subject to various labeling requirements with respect to our products at the federal, state, and local levels. At the federal level, the FDA has authority to review product labeling, and the Federal Trade Commission may review labeling and advertising materials, including online and television advertisements to determine if advertising materials are misleading. Similarly, many states review dairy product labels to determine whether they comply with applicable state laws. In addition, the European Union has issued and enforces rules governing foodstuff labeling, nutrition, and health claims. We believe we are in material compliance with all labeling laws and regulations applicable to our business.
We believe that we are and will continue to be in compliance in all material respects with applicable statutes and the regulations passed in the United States. There are no current orders or directions relating to our Company with respect to the foregoing laws and regulations.
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 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.
Background Information Concerning Bitcoin
This section provides a more detailed description of Bitcoin, its historical development, how a person holds Bitcoin, how to use Bitcoin in transactions, how to trade Bitcoin, the “exchange” market where Bitcoin can be bought, held and sold, the Bitcoin market itself and Bitcoin mining – our company is engaged in the Bitcoin mining business, as described below.

Bitcoin
Bitcoin is a digital asset that can be transferred among participants on the Bitcoin network on a peer-to-peer basis via the Internet. Unlike other means of electronic payments, Bitcoin can be transferred without the use of a central administrator or clearing agency. Because a central party is not necessary to administer Bitcoin transactions or maintain the Bitcoin ledger, the term decentralized is often used in descriptions of Bitcoin.
Bitcoin Network
Bitcoin was first described in a white paper released in 2008 and published under the name “Satoshi Nakamoto.” The protocol underlying Bitcoin was subsequently released in 2009 as open-source software and currently operates on a worldwide network of computers.
The first step in using Bitcoin for transactions is to download specialized software referred to as a “ Bitcoin wallet.” A user’s Bitcoin wallet can run on a computer or smartphone and can be used both to send and to receive Bitcoin. Within a Bitcoin wallet, a user can generate one or more unique “ Bitcoin addresses,” which are conceptually similar to bank account numbers on the Bitcoin Blockchain and are associated with a pair of public and private keys. After establishing a Bitcoin address, a user can send or receive Bitcoin from his or her Bitcoin address to another user’s address using the public and private keys. Sending Bitcoin from one Bitcoin address to another is similar in concept to sending a bank wire from one person’s bank account to another person’s bank account.
The amount of Bitcoin associated with each Bitcoin address is listed in a public ledger, referred to as a “blockchain.” Copies of the Bitcoin Blockchain exist on thousands of computers on the Bitcoin network throughout the Internet. A user’s Bitcoin wallet will either contain a copy of the Bitcoin Blockchain or be able to connect with another computer that holds a copy of the Bitcoin Blockchain.
When a Bitcoin user wishes to transfer Bitcoin to another user, the sender must first request a Bitcoin address from the recipient. The sender then uses its Bitcoin wallet software to create a data packet containing the proposed addition (often referred to as a “transaction”) to the Bitcoin Blockchain. The proposed transaction would reduce the sender’s address and increase the recipient’s address by the amount of Bitcoin desired to be transferred and is sent on a peer-to-peer basis to other computers participating in the Bitcoin network.
Bitcoin Protocol
Bitcoin is an open-source project with no official company or group that controls the Bitcoin network, and anyone can review the underlying code and suggest changes. There are, however, a number of individual developers that regularly contribute to a specific distribution of Bitcoin software known as the “ Bitcoin Core,” and who loosely oversee the development of its source code. There are many other compatible versions of Bitcoin software, but Bitcoin Core is the most widely adopted and currently provides the de facto standard for the Bitcoin protocol. The core developers are able to access, and can alter, the Bitcoin network source code and, as a result, they are responsible for quasi-official releases of updates and other changes to the Bitcoin network’s source code. However, because Bitcoin has no central authority, the release of updates to the Bitcoin network’s source code by the core developers does not guarantee that the updates will be automatically adopted by the other participants in the Bitcoin network. Users and miners must accept any changes made to the Bitcoin source code by downloading the proposed modification of the Bitcoin network’s source code. A modification of the Bitcoin network’s source code is effective only with respect to those Bitcoin users and miners who choose to download it. If a modification is accepted by only a percentage of users and miners, a division in the Bitcoin network will occur such that one network will run the pre-modification source code and the other network will run the modified source code. Such a division is known as a “fork.” Consequently, as a practical matter, a modification to the source code becomes part of the Bitcoin network only if accepted by participants collectively having most of the processing power on the Bitcoin network. In recent years, there have been several forks in the Bitcoin network, including, but not limited to, forks resulting in the creation of Bitcoin Cash (August 1, 2017), Bitcoin Gold (October 24, 2017) and Bitcoin SegWit2X (December 28, 2017), among others.

Bitcoin Transactions
A Bitcoin transaction is similar in concept to an irreversible digital check. The transaction contains the sender’s Bitcoin address, the recipient’s Bitcoin address, the amount of Bitcoin to be sent, a transaction fee and the sender’s digital signature. The sender’s use of his or her digital signature enables participants on the Bitcoin network to verify the authenticity of the Bitcoin transaction.
A user’s digital signature is generated via usage of the user’s so-called “private key,” one of two numbers in a so-called cryptographic “key pair.” A key pair consists of a “public key” and its corresponding private key, both of which are lengthy alphanumeric codes, derived together and possessing a unique relationship. Public keys are associated with Bitcoin addresses that are publicly known and can accept a Bitcoin transfer. Private keys are used to sign transactions that initiate the transfer of Bitcoin from a sender’s Bitcoin address to a recipient’s Bitcoin address. Only the holder of the private key associated with a particular Bitcoin address can digitally sign a transaction proposing a transfer of Bitcoin from that particular Bitcoin address.
A user’s Bitcoin address may be safely distributed, but a user’s private key must be kept in accordance with appropriate controls and procedures to ensure it is used only for legitimate and intended transactions. Only by using a private key can a Bitcoin user create a digital signature to transfer Bitcoin to another user. In addition, if an unauthorized third person learns of a user’s private key, that third person could forge the user’s digital signature and send the user’s Bitcoin to any arbitrary Bitcoin address, thereby stealing the user’s Bitcoin.
The usage of key pairs is a cornerstone of the Bitcoin network. This is because the use of a private key is the only mechanism by which a Bitcoin transaction can be signed. If a private key is lost, the corresponding Bitcoin is thereafter permanently non-transferable. Moreover, the theft of a private key enables the thief immediate and unfettered access to the corresponding Bitcoin. Bitcoin users must therefore understand that in this regard, Bitcoin is a bearer asset, similar to cash: that is, the person or entity in control of the private key corresponding to a particular quantity of Bitcoin has de facto control of the Bitcoin. For large quantities of Bitcoin, holders often employ sophisticated security measures.
The Bitcoin network incorporates a system to prevent double spending of a single Bitcoin. To prevent the possibility of double spending a single Bitcoin, each validated transaction is recorded, time stamped and publicly displayed in a “block” in the Bitcoin Blockchain, which is publicly available. Thus, the Bitcoin network provides confirmation against double spending by memorializing every transaction in the Bitcoin Blockchain, which is publicly accessible and downloaded in part or in whole by all users of the Bitcoin network software program.
The process by which Bitcoin is created and Bitcoin transactions are verified is called mining. To begin mining, a user, or “miner,” can download and special mining software, which, like regular Bitcoin network software programs, turns the user’s computer into a “node” on the Bitcoin network, and also has the ability to validate transactions and add new blocks of transactions to the Blockchain.
Miners, through the use of the Bitcoin software program, engage in a set of prescribed complex mathematical calculations imposed by the Bitcoin network’s software protocol, called “proof of work”, in order to validate proposed transactions and bundle them into a data packet known as a “block”. The first miner who successfully solves the cryptographic puzzle imposed by the Bitcoin network’s software protocol is permitted to add a block of transactions to the Bitcoin Blockchain and is rewarded by a grant of newly issued Bitcoin, known as the “block reward”. Bitcoin is created and allocated by the Bitcoin network protocol and distributed through a “mining” process subject to a strict, well-known issuance schedule. Block rewards for mining are the method by which new Bitcoin is issued. The supply of Bitcoin is limited to 21 million by the Bitcoin network’s software protocol.
Confirmed and validated Bitcoin transactions are recorded in blocks added to the Bitcoin Blockchain. Each block contains the details of some or all of the most recent transactions that are not memorialized in prior blocks, as well as a record of the award of Bitcoin to the miner who added the new block. Each unique block can only be solved and added to the Bitcoin Blockchain by one miner; as a result, individual miners and mining pools on the Bitcoin network engage in a competitive process of constantly increasing their computing power to improve their individual likelihood of solving new blocks. As more miners join the Bitcoin network and its processing power increases, or if miners leave the Bitcoin network and its processing power declines, the Bitcoin network adjusts the complexity of a block-solving equation to maintain a predetermined pace of adding a new block to the Bitcoin Blockchain approximately every ten minutes.

Bitcoin Market and Bitcoin Exchanges
Bitcoin can be transferred in direct peer-to-peer transactions through the direct sending of Bitcoin over the Bitcoin Blockchain from one Bitcoin address to another. Among end-users, Bitcoin can be used to pay other members of the Bitcoin network for goods and services under what resembles a barter system. Consumers can also pay merchants and other commercial businesses for goods or services through direct peer-to-peer transactions on the Bitcoin Blockchain or through third-party service providers.
In addition to using Bitcoin to engage in transactions, investors may purchase and sell Bitcoin to speculate as to the value of Bitcoin in the Bitcoin market, or as a long-term investment to diversify their portfolio. The value of Bitcoin within the market is determined, in part, by the supply of and demand for Bitcoin in the global Bitcoin market, market expectations for the adoption of Bitcoin as a store of value, the number of merchants that accept Bitcoin as a form of payment, and the volume of peer-to-peer transactions, among other factors.
A Bitcoin exchange provides investors with a website that permits investors to open accounts with the exchange and then purchase and sell Bitcoin. Prices for trades on Bitcoin exchanges are typically reported publicly. An investor opening a trading account must deposit an accepted government-issued currency into their account with the exchange, or a previously acquired digital asset, before they can purchase or sell assets on the exchange. The process of establishing an account with a Bitcoin exchange and trading Bitcoin is different from, and should not be confused with, the process of users sending Bitcoin from one Bitcoin address to another Bitcoin address on the Bitcoin Blockchain. This latter process is an activity that occurs on the Bitcoin network, while the former is an activity that occurs entirely on the private website operated by the exchange. The exchange typically records the investor’s ownership of Bitcoin in its internal books and records, rather than on the Bitcoin Blockchain. The exchange ordinarily does not transfer Bitcoin to the investor on the Bitcoin Blockchain unless the investor makes a request to the exchange to withdraw the Bitcoin in their exchange account to an off-exchange Bitcoin wallet.
Outside of exchanges, Bitcoin can be traded OTC in transactions that are not publicly reported. The OTC market is largely institutional in nature, and OTC market participants generally consist of institutional entities, such as firms that offer two-sided liquidity for Bitcoin, investment managers, proprietary trading firms, high-net-worth individuals that trade Bitcoin on a proprietary basis, entities with sizeable Bitcoin holdings, and family offices. The OTC market provides a relatively flexible market in terms of quotes, price, quantity, and other factors, although it tends to involve large blocks of Bitcoin. The OTC market has no formal structure and no open-outcry meeting place. Parties engaging in OTC transactions will agree upon a price—often via phone or email—and then one of the two parties will then initiate the transaction. For example, a seller of Bitcoin could initiate the transaction by sending the Bitcoin to the buyer’s Bitcoin address. The buyer would then wire U.S. dollars to the seller’s bank account. OTC trades are sometimes hedged and eventually settled with concomitant trades on Bitcoin spot exchanges.
Although Bitcoin was the first digital asset, in the ensuing years, the number of digital assets, market participants and companies in the space has increased dramatically. In addition to Bitcoin, other well-known digital assets include Ethereum, XRP, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin. The category and protocols are still being defined and evolving.
Regulation of Bitcoin
As digital assets have grown in both popularity and market size, the U.S. Congress and a number of U.S. federal and state agencies (including FinCEN, SEC, CFTC, FINRA, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the IRS and state financial institution regulators) have been examining the operations of digital asset networks, digital asset users and the digital asset exchange markets, with particular focus on the extent to which digital assets can be used to launder the proceeds of illegal activities or fund criminal or terrorist enterprises and the safety and soundness of exchanges or other service-providers that hold digital assets for users. Many of these state and federal agencies have issued consumer advisories regarding the risks posed by digital assets to investors. In addition, federal and state agencies, and other countries have issued rules or guidance about the treatment of digital asset transactions or requirements for businesses engaged in digital asset activity.
As the regulatory and legal environment evolves, the Company may in its mining activities become subject to new laws, and further regulation by the SEC and other agencies. On November 16, 2018, the SEC issued a Statement on Digital Asset Securities Issuance and Trading, in which it emphasized that market participants must still adhere to the SEC’s well-established and well-functioning federal securities law framework when dealing with technological innovations, regardless of whether the securities are issued in certificated form or using new technologies, such as blockchain.

Blockchain and cryptocurrency regulations are in a nascent state with agencies investigating businesses and their practices, gathering information, and generally trying to understand the risks and uncertainties in order to protect investors in these businesses and in cryptocurrencies generally. Various bills have also been proposed in Congress for adoption related to our business which may be adopted and have an impact on us. The offer and sale of digital assets in initial coin offerings, which is not an activity we expect to pursue, has been a central focus of recent regulatory inquiries. On November 16, 2018 the SEC settled with two cryptocurrency startups, and reportedly has more than 100 investigations into cryptocurrency related ventures, according to a codirector of the SEC’s enforcement division (Wall Street Journal, November 17-18, 2018). An annual report by the SEC shows that digital currency scams are among the agency’s top enforcement priorities. The SEC is focused in particular on Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), which involve the sale of digital tokens related to blockchain projects. Many such projects have failed to deliver on their promises or turned out to be outright scams. In the past year, the enforcement division has opened dozens of investigations involving ICOs and digital assets, many of which were ongoing at the close of FY 2018,” the SEC states in a section of the report titled “ICOs and Digital Assets.”
Background Concerning our Bitcoin Operations
Our Company is a Bitcoin miner; we do not intend to mine other cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies, are specialized applications of blockchain technology. Blockchains are encrypted distributed ledgers maintained on the internet. Mining is the process of validating the authenticity of encrypted blocks of transactions and updating the crypto currency’s blockchain ledger. Bitcoin miners expend huge amounts of computer processing power - hash rate - to solve complicated mathematical problems required to validate the encrypted data block. The blockchain protocol rewards the first miner to solve the encryption and adds a new block of validated transactions to its blockchain ledger with newly issued crypto coins. Miners compete for those rewards and a share of transaction fees. This creates a competitive environment where miners are constantly seeking to increase their hashing capacity by expansion or deployment of new higher-capacity mining equipment. This work is primarily performed using specialized ASIC (“Application Specific Integrated Circuits”) computer equipment or other high-capacity Graphics Processing Unit (“GPU”) cards. In the process, mining consumes a lot of electricity and creates large amounts of heat and cooling fan noise.
Within our cryptocurrency-related operations, our sole product is Bitcoins that are awarded as a result of our mining operations. Bitcoin mining, like other cryptocurrency mining, is the process by which transactions are verified and added to the public ledger, known as the blockchain, and is also the means through which new Bitcoin (or various other forms of cryptocurrency) are released.
Crypto Mining Process
Investopedia explains how Bitcoin mining works. “In order to earn Bitcoin, you need to meet two conditions. One is a matter of effort; one is a matter of luck. (1) You have to verify approx. 1MB worth of transactions. That is the easy part. (2) You have to be the first miner to arrive at the right answer to a numeric problem. This process is also known as a “proof of work.”
What is meant by “the right answer to a numeric problem?” The good news is that there is no advanced math or computation involved. You may have heard that miners are solving difficult mathematical problems-that’s not true at all. What they’re actually doing is trying to be the first miner to come up with a 64-digit hexadecimal number (a “hash”) that is less than or equal to the target hash. It’s basically guessed work. The bad news is that, because it’s guesswork, you need a lot of computing power in order to get there first. To mine successfully, you need to have a high “hash rate”, which is measured in terms of mega hashes per second (MH/s), giga hashes per second (GH/s), and tera hashes per second (TH/s).

Bitcoin Strategy
Our only cryptocurrency-related operations will be the mining of Bitcoins. Once Bitcoins are mined by us, we intend to hold substantially all such Bitcoins. Our management believes that this mine-and-hold strategy will serve to increase shareholder value, inasmuch as our management believes that Bitcoin value will increase over time. There is no assurance that management’s strategy will prove to be successful, in this regard.
While it is our overall strategy to hold mined Bitcoins, it is possible that we would utilize our Bitcoins to procure needed equipment, facilities and/or services from persons and entities that accept Bitcoins as payment in lieu of fiat currency. Additionally, it is possible that we would, where circumstances require, convert a portion of our Bitcoins into fiat currency for the purpose of paying for needed equipment, facilities and/or services. However, no prediction in this regard can be made.
Bitcoin Storage and Security
Because we will hold our Bitcoins once mined for varying periods of time, it is important that we select a secure environment in which to do so. Currently, we hold our Bitcoins in a “wallet” established at BitGo, a secure online platform for buying, selling, transferring and sorting digital currency. Our management believes that BitGo provides adequate security for our Bitcoin holdings.
In the future, nevertheless, we may determine to place our Bitcoins in one or more other environments that may have proven to be more secure and/or more flexible than BitGo. In particular, we may elect to place our Bitcoins in “cold storage.” Cold storage methods include: (1) “paper wallet” (a way to safeguard against hackers or computer malfunction that involves printing the secret Bitcoin keys on paper and securely handling such paper); (2) “hardware wallet (a storage device, like a USB drive, is used to keep the secret Bitcoin keys); (3) “sound wallet” (this technology involves keeping the secret Bitcoin keys in encrypted sound files in products such as compact discs and vinyl disks); and (4) “deep cold storage” (the security of a bank vault for securing the secret Bitcoin keys of Bitcoin wallets). As our operations proceed, our management will continually monitor the security of our Bitcoins and, when appropriate, obtain additional and/or other environments in which to hold our Bitcoins.
Keys to Success
We believe that the following factors will assist us in succeeding: (1) Accessing low cost electricity (reduced operating expenses); (2) Deployment of the most energy efficient mining equipment (increased operating margins), (3) Containerized mining pods that allows deployment into existing utility infrastructure (reduce specialized investments in high cost utility infrastructure), (4) Immersion cooling technology to control noise and facilitate waste heat recovery (reduce site acquisition and leasing costs), (5) Modular systems provide ability to scale in smaller increments (reduced initial capital cost per unit of expansion), and (6) Expansion capital raised through the sale of Offered Shares (reduce or eliminate debt overhead).
Inexpensive Power, Cooling and Noise
Operating a mining data center consumes huge quantities of electricity that is converted into waste heat. Electricity is the single largest expense and, therefore, the location of mining facilities is very much dependent upon access to affordable electricity. We will seek to secure facilities with access to inexpensive electrical power, initially, in the United States. We will also engage in a continuous quest for low cost and alternative electrical sources such as base loads, incentivized rates, new technologies, solar, natural gas co-generation, heat recovery cost offset agreements, and renewable hydroelectricity.
Interior
The interior of a mining operation is a secure space with limited access by authorized persons, indeed simply a room (or rooms) full of shelves containing “miners” (the equipment used to perform the needed calculations and “mint” the Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency), their power supplies and wiring. With air cooling, one wall consists of filters to allow airflow into the room and the other wall or roof has large exhaust fans to rapidly expel the hot air produced by the mining equipment. With immersion cooling, miners are housed in tanks of dielectric fluids that are circulated to exterior cooling manifolds.

Hours of Operation
Mining is a constant operation that operates automatically by computer programs. Control staff can be onsite or remote. Service and maintenance technicians can perform their work during normal business hours. There are no retail sales to the public and no storefront is required. Site security is done by electronic monitoring and on-site employees.
Challenges of Our Bitcoin Business
Cooling
Cooling is an issue because crypto miners generate a lot of heat; in fact, higher temperatures degrade performance and can destroy mining equipment so, generally, sites in cooler climates are desirable. At a minimum, with ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) miners, powerful fans provided adequate airflow for cooling. We will employ various cooling strategies, such as site locations in cooler (even cold) locales, water cooling and dielectric immersion cooling technologies, for cost effectiveness.
Noise
Miners make a lot of noise, operating in the 78 to 100 decibel range. With air cooling, large exhaust fans also create additional noise. Sufficient space relative to neighbors is required to avoid noise pollution as miners operate at all times. Immersion cooling techniques allow removal of the noisy miner fans and size reduction of free cooler fans resulting in quieter operations.
Suppliers
Bitcoin and many other cryptocurrencies are mined using special ASIC-based mining computers. Bitmain is the manufacturer of the popular Antminer series with approximately 75% market share. ASIC-based miners have far greater speeds than GPU-based miners and some altcoins write specific algorithms to preclude use of ASIC miners. Every time an ASIC miner is developed, it quickly overpowers and makes obsolete any GPU based mining equipment. Within the ASIC supplier community, manufacturers are competing fiercely to develop faster and more efficient miners. Bitmain’s competitors include BitFury, Canaan Creative, Ebang, Innosilicon, MicroBt and other manufacturers. These manufacturers are constantly introducing faster and more energy-efficient mining equipment incorporating advanced ASIC 12nm, 10nm, 7nm and 5nm chips. There is intense competition in that each new miner introduced has the potential of causing economic obsolescence of existing mining equipment which will adversely affect our operations. We will evaluate various miners for cost effectiveness.
Services
Inherently, crypto mining is an automated online operation consisting of providing computing power and not a service industry. It is the application of software to perform online computations to validate transactions and maintain the blockchain ledgers. We do not intend to offer cloud mining services to the public. Our co-location provider will perform maintenance and repairs on our equipment, miners and facilities.
Financial Management
Revenue comes from the crypto coins earned by mining cryptocurrencies with specialized computers called miners. Revenue is a function of the computing power required to earn coins and market conditions to value those coins. Management must make speculative assumptions about the future value of coins when making decisions to invest in miners for that coin. Because Bitcoin maintains approximately 40% of the cryptocoin market valuation, has first mover and brand recognition status, has an active market, and is the “gold standard” against which other cryptocurrencies are measured and traded, we intend currently to focus exclusively on mining Bitcoin. Volatility of cryptocurrency market pricing (valuation) can negatively impact revenue, value of mining equipment, and the value of coins in inventory. We believe that quality blockchain and cryptocurrency projects will increase in value as they roll out applications and develop market adoption. We will focus on Bitcoin and those cryptocurrencies that we believe have the greatest potential for mass adoption, use and profit.

Mining is a capital-intensive business with a large capex requirement due to miner obsolescence. This may result in financial losses even at a time in the future when our company could have substantial revenue. To maximize mining revenue, we will evaluate replacement miner capacity, energy efficiency and facility capacity to determine which miners to use as replacement upgrades and timing of replacements.
Growth/Acquisition Summary
We will use a portion of the proceeds from this offering to sequentially build infrastructure to distribute this electrical power on site, modifying the current building structure for mining use, and purchase and install miners, cooling systems and related infrastructure in a continuous growth process. Our growth strategy is to pursue acquisition and development of sites suitable for profitable crypto mining. Our strategy is to develop standardized mining modules that can be deployed in containers or buildings. This standardization will minimize initial investment per module and allow rapid scaling to any size facility.
Marketing
Mining is a function of operating a computer program. Because payment is made to those who validate, or” authorize,” transactions first, those with the greatest processing power are typically going to be the most successful. Therefore, miners have joined together into “pools” where they aggregate their “hashing” power (as described above) and split the rewards proportionately. This is the case with our miners being in a co-location environment. We do not intend to have any marketing costs associated with mining.
Competition is based on total computing power, known as hashing or hash rate. Groups of miners form pools that compete against each other. Miners share the revenue generated by their pool. Miners are cooperating in the pool and pools are competing against each other. This competition of hashing capacity and speed requires miners to continuously update mining equipment. Mining equipment obsolescence is a major operating expense. We cannot assure that it will be able to recover equipment costs fast enough to replace their earning capacity with newer mining equipment which would result in an operating loss.
Rising Bitcoin difficulty level results in lower earnings per miner capacity, forcing higher cost producers out of the market. We believe that these market forces will transform mining into a “utility” type business requiring massive investments with relatively low, but potentially stable revenue. Until the mining industry reaches this equilibrium, market forces will require continual reinvestment in the latest high powered and efficient miners. Electricity costs will also be a limiting factor for profitability with many miners simply unable to generate a profit with their local energy expense. We cannot guarantee that it will be able to secure low-cost electricity sites, fund the acquisition of the most efficient new miners, and operate efficiently enough to be profitable.
Pricing
Pricing manifests itself in the market value of the cryptocurrency that is mined. This can vary wildly, especially for newer crypto coins. We will focus exclusively on Bitcoin mining as it is the undisputed market leader in valuation, though with wide fluctuations in short term market pricing. We intend to maintain working capital and investments in mined coins to avoid forced selling during downtrends. We may not be able to fund operations through a downturn which would force the sale of mined coin inventories at low prices resulting in losses.

Advertising and Promotion
As a Bitcoin miner performing computer processing to the distributed ledger, there are no customers to advertise to or need for promotions.
Advertising and promotion are required as part of the capital raising process to promote our brand awareness. Consequently, we intend to use a combination of online forums, press releases, crowd funding portals, public advertising in blue-sky approved states, brokers and direct marketing campaigns to promote our company. We cannot be assured that we will be successful in raising the capital necessary to accomplish our growth and business plans.
Strategy and Implementation
Our strategy is to treat crypto mining as a no-frills utility that works behind the scenes to support existing blockchains. This focused approach avoids unnecessary and expensive overhead of supporting and developing new protocols, algorithms, blockchain use applications, and their related ICOs.
Our strategy allows us to focus on optimizing standardized modular mining systems to deploy to sites with low-cost electricity. We can scale up to the site capacity by deploying multiple systems either in containers or installed directly in buildings. Standardization of equipment and processes will allow us to attain economies of scale to minimize our overall costs. Our operations consist of the implementation of the following elements:
| · | Acquisition of sites with access to low-cost electricity. These sites must be evaluated for the final delivered price per Kwh after factoring in land, transforming, electrical utility infrastructure, building or container, and other land development costs. |
| · | Standardized, modular mining systems capable of receiving and operating miners. These contain the electrical distribution panels, wiring, racks, fans, tanks, cooling, internet and security systems to house, operate and secure the miners. These modules may be installed in containers or buildings on site. |
| · | Acquisition and deployment of high performance, energy efficient mining equipment. Due to the wide range of mining equipment available, we will perform cost/benefit evaluations to determine which miners to acquire and deploy. Among the considerations used are: |
| · | our available capacity, |
| · | funding, |
| · | time frame, |
| · | availability, |
| · | new or used equipment, |
| · | hashing capacities, |
| · | energy consumption, and |
| · | anticipated economic life. |
Seasonality
We do not expect any seasonality in our Bitcoin mining business.

There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations. As noted herein, we are pursuing various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to conduct our operations as planned, and we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due. In such an event, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.

Going Concern
Our 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, our 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 our Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability of our Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the preceding paragraph and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if our Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
In the coming year, our Company’s foreseeable cash requirements will relate to continual development of the operations of our business, maintaining our good standing and making the requisite filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the payment of expenses associated with operations and business developments. Our Company may experience a cash shortfall and be required to raise additional capital.
Historically, we have mostly relied upon internally generated funds such as shareholder loans and advances to finance our operations and growth. Management may raise additional capital by retaining net earnings or through future public or private offerings of our Company’s stock or through loans from private investors, although there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing. Our Company’s failure to do so could have a material and adverse effect upon us and our shareholders.

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no 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 is material to stockholders.
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 those 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.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Our Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and 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.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Food Product Business
The food industry is highly competitive and includes many regional, national and international companies, some of which have achieved substantial market share. We compete primarily on the basis of product features, brand recognition, quality and price. The failure to remain competitive could adversely affect the results of operations and financial condition. Some of our competitors offer types of products that we do not sell, and some of our competitors are larger and have substantially greater financial and other resources than us.
Bitcoin Mining Business
The slowing or stopping of the development or acceptance of the Bitcoin Network may adversely affect an investment in our company. Digital assets, such as Bitcoins, that may be used to buy and sell goods and services, among other uses, are a new and rapidly evolving industry of which the Bitcoin Network is a prominent, but not unique, part. The growth of the digital assets industry, in general, and the Bitcoin Network, in particular, is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The factors affecting the further development of the digital assets industry, as well as the Bitcoin Network, include:
| · | continued worldwide growth in the adoption and use of Bitcoins and other digital assets; |
| · | government and quasi-government regulation of Bitcoins and other digital assets and their use, or restrictions on or regulation of access to and operation of the Bitcoin Network or similar digital assets systems; |
| · | the maintenance and development of the open-source software protocol of the Bitcoin Network; |
| · | changes in consumer demographics and public tastes and preferences; |
| · | the availability and popularity of other forms or methods of buying and selling goods and services, including new means of using fiat currencies; and |
| · | general economic conditions and the regulatory environment relating to digital assets. |

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Nate’s Food Co.
Huntington Beach, CA
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Nate’s Food Co. (the Company) as of May 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of May 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern Considerations
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses since inception, has a working capital deficit, and has not achieved profitable operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Going Concern – Disclosure
The financial statements of the Company are prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and, accordingly, will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. As noted in “Going Concern Consideration” above, the Company has a history of recurring net losses, a significant accumulated deficit and currently has net working capital deficit. The Company has contractual obligations such as commitments for repayments of accounts and notes payable and accrued interest (collectively “obligations”). Currently management’s forecasts and related assumptions illustrate their judgments as to the Company’s ability to meet the obligations through planned increases in revenues, management of expenditures, obtaining additional loans from related and unrelated parties, and private placements of capital stock for additional funding to meet its operating needs. Should there be constraints on the ability to increase revenues and access financing through stock issuances, the Company will continue to manage cash outflows and meet the obligations through related and unrelated party loans.
We identified management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as a critical audit matter. Management made judgments regarding the Company’s ability to effectively implement its plans to provide the necessary cash flows to fund the Company’s obligations as they become due. Specifically, the judgments with the highest degree of impact and subjectivity in determining the Company’s ability to effectively implement its plans include its ability to increase revenues, manage expenditures, access funding from the capital market, and obtain loans from related and unrelated parties. Auditing the judgments made by management required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of audit effort.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. These procedures included the following, among others, evaluating the Company’s ability to: (i) increase revenues, (ii) access funding from the capital markets, (iii) manage expenditures, and (iv) obtain loans from related and unrelated parties.

NATE’S FOOD CO.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2023 AND 2022
Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Nature of Business
Nate’s Food Co. (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or the “Registrant”) was incorporated in the state of Colorado on January 12, 2000. Nate’s Food Co. is domiciled in the state of Colorado, and its corporate headquarters are located in Huntington Beach, California. The Company selected May 31 as its fiscal year end. On May 12, 2014, Nate’s Pancakes Inc. was incorporated in the state of Indiana. On May 19, 2014, the Company completed a reverse merger between Nate’s Pancakes, Inc and Capital Resource Alliance. Nate’s Pancakes was the surviving Company. In May 2014, the Company changed its name from Capital Resource Alliance to Nate’s Food Co.
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 purchased ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) computers - computers specifically designed for cryptocurrency mining - that are used for Bitcoin Mining. We have placed this Bitcoin Mining equipment with 3rd party datacenters or farms (often referred as a “Co-Location”) that will power and operate our Bitcoin Mining equipment for a fee. We generate revenues through receiving Bitcoin from our Bitcoin Mining equipment.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying audited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 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.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements 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 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 the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term marketable securities purchased with an original maturity 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 at cost, net of any impairment losses incurred since acquisition.
F-6 |
Table of Contents |
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.
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.
During the years ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, the market value of digital currencies was lower than the Company’s cost basis by $6,191 and $5,478, respectively, which amount is recorded as impairment loss on digital currency.
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 May 31, 2023 and 2022, 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.
For the years ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, the following warrants, convertible notes and convertible preferred stock were potentially dilutive.

Potential dilution from the convertible preferred stock was not included in the calculation of the dilutive earnings per share calculation for the year ended May 31, 2022, as the effect is anti-dilutive.
Equipment
Bitcoin mining equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the useful life of four years and is included in the cost of revenue.
Lease
The Company leases Bitcoin equipment (Note 3), for the mining of Bitcoin.
In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, we determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception.
The equipment lease meets the definition of a short-term lease because the lease term is 12 months or less. Consequently, consistent with the Company’s accounting policy election, the Company does not recognize the right-of-use assets and the lease liability arising from this lease.

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, equipment lease and monitoring services are recorded as cost of revenues. During the years ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company generated Bitcoin mining revenue of $25,168 and $70,395, respectively, with cost of revenue of $55,179 and $197,189, respectively.
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.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year; and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740-10, a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable upon examination, based on its technical merits. The tax benefit of a qualifying position under ASC 740-10 would equal the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all the relevant information. A liability (including interest and penalties, if applicable) is established to the extent a current benefit has been recognized on a tax return for matters that are considered contingent upon the outcome of an uncertain tax position. Related interest and penalties, if any, are included as components of income tax expense and income taxes payable.
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.

Note 11 – Commitments
On July 8, 2022, the Company entered into an Exclusive Intellectual Property License Agreement (“License Agreement”) with Kenny B, LLC. (“Licensor”) for a period of 20 years and that may be extended for an additional 20 years at the mutual consent of both parties.
The Licensor is the exclusive owner of all the rights, title and interest in and to (i) the trademark of Sh’mallow (Serial Number 5302806), (ii) all rights in and to the name of Sh’mallow, and (iii) designs of Sh’mallow marshmallow topping product, and (iv) all common law and statuary rights in the foregoing (collectively, the “Property”). The Company obtained an exclusive license to use such Intellectual Property.
In conjunction with the License Agreement, the Company granted warrants to Licensor to acquire 27,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $0.00025 per share for total value of $37,800 to be amortized over the life of the agreement on a straight-line basis, recorded as an intangible asset with the offset to additional paid in capital (Note 6).

Note 12 – Taxes
We did not provide any current or deferred U.S. federal income tax provision or benefit for any of the periods presented because we have experienced operating losses since inception. When it is more likely than not that a tax asset cannot be realized through future income the Company must allow for this future tax benefit. We provided a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset, consisting of net operating loss carry forwards, because management has determined that it is more likely than not that we will not earn income sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets during the carry forward period.
The Company has not taken a tax position that, if challenged, would have a material effect on the financial statements for the years ended May 31, 2023 and 2022 as applicable under ASC 740. We did not recognize any adjustment to the liability for uncertain tax position and therefore did not record any adjustment to the beginning balance of accumulated deficit on the balance sheet. All tax returns for the Company remain open.

On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) resulting in significant modifications to existing law including lowering the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. In addition to applying the new lower corporate tax rate in 2018 and thereafter to any taxable income we may have, the legislation affects the way we can use and carry forward net operating losses previously accumulated and results in a revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities recorded on our balance sheet. The Company has completed the accounting for the effects of the Act during the period ended May 31, 2023. Given that current deferred tax assets are offset by a full valuation allowance, these changes will have no impact on the balance sheet.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before provision for income taxes. The sources and tax effects of the differences for the periods presented are as follows:
Income tax provision at the federal statutory rate |

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial officer and principle accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of May 31, 2023, the end of our fiscal year covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of control procedures. The objectives of internal control include providing management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2023. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework - 2013. Our management has concluded that, as of May 31, 2023, our internal controls over financial reporting are not effective. Our management reviewed the results of their assessment with our board of directors.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit our Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Identified Material Weakness
A material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
24 |
Table of Contents |
Management identified the following material weaknesses during its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting as of May 31, 2023:
| · | No independent directors: Our Company does not have any independent directors. |
|
|
|
| · | No segregation of duties: Ineffective controls over financial reporting. |
|
|
|
| · | No audit committee: Our Company does not have an audit committee. |
|
|
|
| · | No written policies and procedures: We need to prepare written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting to establish a formal process to close our books monthly on an accrual basis and account for all transactions, including equity transactions, and prepare, review and submit SEC filings in a timely manner. |
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
As our resources allow, we will add financial personnel to our management team. We plan to prepare written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting to establish a formal process to close our books monthly on an accrual basis and account for all transactions, including equity transactions. We will also create an audit committee made up of our independent directors.
As of May 31, 2023, our Company has not taken any remediation actions to address these weaknesses in our controls even though they were identified during the year. Our Company’s management expects, once it is in the financial position to do so, to hire additional staff in our accounting department to be able to segregate the duties.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization, and personnel factors. Internal control over financial reporting is a process which involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended May 31, 2023 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

During the year ended May 31, 2022, an accounts payable related party balance of $219,000 owed to a company controlled by officers of the Company, was forgiven and recorded as an increase to additional paid in capital.
Director Independence
We currently act with three directors, consisting of Nate Steck, Marc Kassoff and Timothy Denton. We have determined that none of our directors is an independent director, as that term is used in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Rules of National Association of Securities Dealers.
Currently our audit committee consists of our entire board of directors. We currently do not have nominating, compensation committees or committees performing similar functions. There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors.
From inception to present date, we believe that the members of our audit committee and the board of directors have been and are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.

Our board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.
Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independent auditors’ independence.
