General Overview

We were incorporated underin the laws of the Statestate of Colorado on January 12, 2000 under the name Capital Resources Alliance, Inc. At inception, we were an early stage company2000. Nate’s Food Co. is domiciled in the businessstate of miningColorado, and exploration.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, our companythe Company completed a reverse merger withbetween Nate’s Pancakes, Inc., an Indiana company, withInc and Capital Resource Alliance. Nate’s Pancakes beingwas the surviving entity.company. In May 2014, wethe Company changed ourits name from Capital Resource Alliance Inc. to Nate’s Food Co.

In connection with the reverse merger, we became a food manufacturing and product company, and in May 2014, we executed a licensing agreement with Nate’s Pancakes to market and sell “Nate’s Homemade”, exclusively throughout the world.

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 intends to purchase and maintain ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) computers - computers specifically designed for cryptocurrency mining - that will be used for Bitcoin Mining. We plan to initially place 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 plan to generate revenues through receiving Bitcoin from our Bitcoin Mining equipment.

On April 6, 2017, our board of directors and a majority of our shareholders approved the filing of Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of common stock of our companyCompany from Five Hundred Million (500,000,000) to One Billion Five Hundred Million 1,500,000,000. The Restated Articles of Incorporation to effect the increase of common stock was filed with the Secretary of State for the State of Colorado on July 26, 2017.

Our Current 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 will are currently mining Bitcoin. The Bitcoin Mining equipment is hosted by 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

Our food development division licenses, develops and manufactures food products.  The Company’s Board of Directors has voted to cease product manufacturing and development of new products for its 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.

On July 15, 2022, the Company executed an exclusive license with Kenny B, LLC for the product name Sh’Mallow, a non-refrigerated, shelf stable marshmallow product that can also be toasted. Sh’Mallow is available for sale on-line at https://www.sh-mallow.com/shop and is easily shipped.

Under this exclusive license agreement, the Company will pay a royalty of 7.5% on all Net Sales of Sh’Mallow. 12 months after the execution of the agreement a minimum royalty payment of $5,000 a month shall be required to maintain the exclusivity of the license agreement.

Upon the effective date of the license agreement (August 15, 2022), all Sh’Mallow sales will be conducted through Nate’s Food Co. The Company will work to redevelop the product label and branding, as well as increasing the production capacity to meet the expected demand by wholesale membership and retail grocery stores. The Company has already begun assisting on obtaining grocery store placement and has received positive interest from national coffee shops and grocery stores.

Nate’s Food Co. is actively working on increasing production capacity, including the acquisition of additional mixing and filling equipment for Sh’Mallow. The Company has also begun running tests on the necessary equipment for the project. This increase in capacity will allow the Company to meet minimum order quantities (“MOQs”) and execute on orders from stores that have already expressed interest in the Sh’Mallow product. The Company is also working on the marketing plan to promote the product through social media platforms and direct response campaigns with the ultimate goal of brand recognition and increasing online sales.

Nate’s Food Co has been involved with the product development with Kenny B, LLC since 2016 and has been working on Sh’Mallow project since its infancy stage with the goal of growing and adding it to the Company’s product line upon Sh’Mallow became available for sale in 2022.

The Company will also continue to expand its Bitcoin Mining as a hedge against inflation. We strongly believe it will help us to grow the Company and enhance our balance sheet accumulating Bitcoin funds in the coming years. We hope those consistent additional inflows will allow us to develop more products and expand our product line.

Food Manufacturing and Distribution

Raw materials used in our products include cans, valves, caps, flour and other commodities. We continuously monitor worldwide supply and cost trends of these raw materials to enable us to take appropriate action to obtain the ingredients and packaging we need for production. Although the prices of our principal raw materials may fluctuate based on adverse weather, the economy, and other conditions, we believe such raw materials to be generally available from numerous sources.

We currently have suspended all production, sales, marketing and distribution activities until such time as we have the financial resources necessary to resume production.

Seasonality

Sales of our products were not seasonal and were generally evenly distributed throughout the year. Revenue from Bitcoin Mining is not seasonal.

Competition

Food Development

We operate in 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. We also compete with natural and organic consumer packaged foods companies. At present, there are no other companies manufacturing or distributing aerosol delivered pancake and waffle batters.

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.

Bitcoin Mining

In cryptocurrency mining, companies, individuals and groups generate units of cryptocurrency through mining. Miners can range from individual enthusiasts to professional mining operations with dedicated data centers, with all of which we compete. Miners may organize themselves in mining pools, with which we would compete. The Company intends to participate in mining pools. At present, the information concerning the activities of these enterprises is not readily available as the vast majority of the participants in this sector do not publish information publicly or the information may be unreliable

Compliance with Government Regulation

Bitcoin Mining

Government regulation of blockchain and cryptocurrency is under review with a number of government agencies, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Federal Trade Commission and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and in other countries. State government regulations also may apply to certain activities such as cryptocurrency exchanges (bitlicense, banking and money transmission regulations) and other activities. Other bodies which may have an interest in regulating or investigating companies engaged in the blockchain or cryptocurrency business include the national securities exchanges and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. 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.”

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:

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 copacker 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.

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 companyCompany with respect to the foregoing laws and regulations.

Intellectual Property

We currently have the exclusive license to all intellectual property held by IPC, Inc., which includes the patent filed by Nate Steck for delivery of pancake and waffle batter contained in an aerosol can, as well as our domain names and websites, www.natesfoodco.com and www.nateshomemade.com.

Employees

Other than our directors and officers, who provide their services to our companyCompany and independent consultants, we have no full-time employees.
