Company History and Our Business

Overview

AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd. (“AgriFORCE™” or the “Company”) was incorporated as a private company by Articles of Incorporation issued pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on December 22, 2017. The Company’s registered and records office address is at 800 – 525 West 8th Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V5Z 1C6.

Our Business

Most recently, the Company has entered into the sustainable Bitcoin mining industry and has completed two acquisitions since late November 2024 pursuant to which the Company now owns and operates three Bitcoin mining facilities, one in Alberta, Canada and two in Ohio, for a total of 1120 BITMAIN Antminer S19j units.

Our AgriFORCE™ Brands division is focused on the development and commercialization of plant-based ingredients and products that deliver more nutritious food. We will market and commercialize ingredient supplies, like our Awakened Flour™ and Awakened Grains ™.

The AgriFORCE™ Solutions division is dedicated to transforming modern agriculture through our controlled environment agriculture (“CEA”) equipment, including our FORCEGH+™” solution. We are continuing to modify our business plan to accommodate artificial intelligence and blockchain in the development and implementation of FinTech systems to commercial farmers, and advancing on the commercialization of our Hydroxyl clean room systems to greatly reduce the spread of pathogens, mold and disease at processing facilities worldwide.

The Company is an innovative sustainable technology focused company that strives to innovate and deliver sustainable technology solutions across a wide array of verticals utilization of our proprietary intellectual property to businesses and enterprises through our AgriFORCE™ Solutions division (“Solutions”) and deliver innovative flour products through our AgriFORCE™ Brands division (“Brands”). To this end, we announce the next phase of our transition, highlighted by the intended integration of Bitcoin mining solutions and the ancillary environmental and power-generation benefits that result from engaging in that business. We recognize the potential of Bitcoin and other digital currencies in facilitating sustainable financial transactions and intend to utilize 10-20% of our future capital raised to purchase and hold Bitcoin. In the third quarter of 2024, the Company bought the assets of the Radical Clean Solutions (“RCS”) business for which it had bought an exclusive license to the agricultural industry in 2023. During 2023, the Company launched its UN(THINK) Awakened Flour™, which is a nutritious flour that we believe provides health advantages over traditional flour.

While Solutions’ legacy focus was to operate in the plant based pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and other high value crop markets using its unique proprietary facility design and hydroponics based automated growing system that enable cultivators to effectively grow crops in a controlled environment (“FORCEGH+™”). it has changed its focus to broaden the use of its proprietary intellectual property across multiple industries. For instance, the Company through its RCS purchase is not able to utilize that technology to deliver solutions across multiple industries, including not only agriculture, but other industries including hospitality, commercial applications, education institutions, residential real estate and transportation.

Brands is focused on the development and commercialization of plant-based ingredients and products that deliver healthier and more nutritious solutions. We strive to market and commercialize both branded consumer product offerings and ingredient supply.

AgriFORCE™ Brands

UN(THINK)™ Foods

The Company purchased Intellectual Property (“IP”) from Manna Nutritional Group, LLC (“Manna”), a privately held firm based in Boise, Idaho on September 10, 2021. The IP encompasses a granted patent to naturally process and convert grain, pulses and root vegetables, resulting in low-starch, low-sugar, high-protein, fiber-rich baking flour as well as produces a natural sweetener juice. The core process is covered under Patent Nr. 11,540,538 in the U.S. and key international markets. The all-natural process is designed to unlock nutritional properties, flavors, and other qualities in a range of modern, ancient and heritage grains, pulses and root vegetables to create specialized all-natural baking and all-purpose flours, sweeteners, juices, naturally sweet cereals and other valuation products, providing numerous opportunities for dietary nutritional, performance and culinary applications.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company has achieved milestones towards the commercialization of our UN(THINK) Awakened Flour™ flour, the Company’s first line of products to utilize the IP. Management has defined and tested its quality controls and safety protocols for production, and produced several multi-ton batches of germinated grains, refining and scaling production processes with our partners in Canada. We are also in the process of qualifying partners in the US to establish additional production hubs – at no additional CAPEX - which will support growth and reduce logistics costs for customers in the region. Additionally, we have established our supply chain logistics with a contracted shipping company and two warehouses in Canada and the US. Our commercial team made progress in defining pricing and is starting to approach US and Canadian Bakeries and Baked Goods Companies who are now testing our new flours for integration into their manufacturing operations and innovation pipeline. Online sales logistics and advertising materials were developed during the period to support the establishment of the direct-to-consumer sales channel which will be started once the Business to Business channel sales ramp up. Lastly, the Company has developed an extensive number of recipes for the application of Awakened Flour™ product line for both customers and consumers.

The Company is developing several finished product prototypes including a line of pancake mixes, which are ready for consumer testing.

Wheat and Flour Market

Modern diet is believed to be a contributor to health risks such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and obesity, due in part to the consumption of highly processed foods that are low in natural fiber, protein and nutrition; and extremely high in simple starch, sugar and calories. These “empty carbs” produce glycemic swings that may cause overeating by triggering cravings for food high in sugar, salt and starch. As an example, conventional baking flour is low in natural fiber (~ 2-3%), low-to-average in protein (~ 9%), and very high in starch (~ 75%)(4). Apart from dietary fiber, whole flour is only marginally better in terms of these macronutrients (2).

In contrast, foods high in fiber help to satiate hunger, suppress cravings and raise metabolism(3). They also assist in weight loss, lower cholesterol, and may reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease and diabetes(4).

Advantages of the UN(THINK)™ Foods IP

Our Controlled Enzymatic Reaction & Endothermic Saccharification with Managed Natural Germination (“CERES-MNG”) patented process allows for the development and manufacturing of all-natural flours that are significantly higher in fibers, nutrients and proteins and significantly lower in carbohydrates and calories than standard baking flour.

CERES-MNG baking flour produced from soft white wheat has 40 times more fiber, three (3) times more protein and 75% less net carbohydrates than regular all- purpose flour(5).

Source: Independent analysis by Eurofins Food Chemistry Testing Madison, Inc, February 2022

The CERES-MNG patent will help develop new flours and products from modern, ancient and heritage grains, seeds, legumes and tubers/root vegetables.

Products that AgriFORCE™ intends to develop for commercialization from the CERES-MNG patented process under the UN(THINK)™ foods brand:

  • High protein, high fiber, low carb modern, heritage and ancient grain flours (for use in breads, baked goods, doughs, pastry, snacks, and pasta)
  • Protein flours and protein additives
  • High protein, high fiber, low carb cereals and snacks
  • High protein, high fiber, low carb oat based dairy alternatives
  • Better tasting, cleaner label, high protein, high fiber, low carb nutrition bars
  • High protein, high fiber, low carb nutrition juices
  • Sweeteners – liquid and granulated
  • High protein, high fiber, low carb pet foods and snacks

AgriFORCE Solutions

Understanding Our Approach –Bringing Cutting Edge Technology to Enhance and Modernize Agriculture

Traditional farming includes three fundamental approaches: outdoor, greenhouse and indoor. We are taking modern technologies such as artificial intelligence (“AI”) and blockchain–based advances to bring what is traditionally a low technology industry into the 21st century. This approach means that we are able to reach into areas not readily available to agricultural businesses in the past, such as advanced Fintech to enhance financing capabilities for these businesses and more readily provide advanced intelligence for farmers. These technologies can also be applied to worldwide sourcing and matching food producers to consumers in an efficient manner.

Our intellectual property combines a patented uniquely engineered facility design and automated growing system to solve excessive water loss and high energy consumption, two problems plaguing nearly all controlled environment agriculture systems. FORCEGH+ delivers a patented clean, sealed, self-contained micro-environment that maximizes natural sunlight and offers supplemental LED lighting. It limits human intervention and is designed to provide superior quality control through AI optical technology. It was also created to drastically reduce environmental impact, substantially decrease utility demands, conserving water, while delivering customers daily harvests and higher crop yields.

The Ag-Tech sector is severely underserved by the capital markets, and we see an opportunity to acquire global companies who have provided solutions to the industry and are leading innovation moving forward. The robustness of our engagement with potential targets has confirmed our belief and desire to be part of a larger integrated Ag-Tech solutions provider, where each separate element of the business has its existing legacy business and can leverage across areas of expertise to expand their business footprint.

BUSINESS PLAN

The Company will launch a full line up of Hydroxyl Devices and start commercializing the Hydroxyl Devises into international markets including the US market of CEA and Food Manufacturing. The Company will identify and establish exclusive distribution agreement for the EMEA region as well Expand Distribution Network into Latin America and Asia. The Company will also advance on the commercialization of our Hydroxyl clean room systems to greatly reduce the spread of pathogens, mold and disease at processing facilities worldwide.

The Company is exploring opportunities to utilize its patented FORCEGH+™ structure and its related technologies in joint ventures and licensing. The Company is also studying the utilization of FORCEGH+ technologies in arctic, tropical and desert environments. The Company intends to continue development of and license of its technology to existing farmers in the plant based pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and high value crop markets using its unique patented facility design and hydroponics based automated growing system that enable farmers to effectively grow crops in a sealed controlled environment (“FORCEGH+™”).

The Company also looks to expand its efforts into development of blockchain solutions and the implementation of these solutions into FinTech systems to allow quicker and less costly transactions between commercial farmers.

The Company is pursuing a strategic shift towards the advancement of sustainable technology initiatives through the acquisition of Bitcoin mining facilities. The Company plans to reduce the environmental impact of the Bitcoin mining facilities while simultaneously producing revenue from high yield agricultural operations. By utilizing an integrated and automated onsite carbon sequestering agricultural operation to reuse the waste energy from the natural gas generators used in the Bitcoin mining operation, the Company aims to reduce carbon emissions while also contributing to local food security and economic growth. In addition, the Company intends to generate immediate shareholder value through the generation of Bitcoins from the mining operation.

The AgriFORCE Clean Solutions

The Company’s Solutions division is charged with the commercialization of our FORCEGH+ technology and our RCS clean room systems. The Company has also begun to advance its initiative to integrate blockchain in the development and implementation of FinTech systems for commercial farmers.

We own the Radical Clean Solutions, Inc. (“RCS”) technology to commercialize the proprietary hydroxyl generating devices of RCS for the CEA and food manufacturing industries. The RCS technology is a product line consisting of patent-pending “smart hydroxyl generation systems” focused on numerous industry verticals that is proven to eliminate 99.99+% of all major pathogens, virus, mold, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and allergy triggers(6).

On October 1, 2023, the Company signed a definitive agreement to purchase a 14% ownership stake in RCS. On August 16, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of 86% of the common shares of Radical Clean Solutions, Inc. (“RCS”), increasing its interest from 14% to 100%, and providing the Company control over RCS. RCS became a consolidated subsidiary of the Company on this date.

The Company generated its first revenue from the sale of RCS devices in late 2023. During 2023, the Company signed an exclusive distribution agreement with a leading distributor of air conditioning and heating solutions in Mexico for the representation and sale of the AgriFORCE/RCS hydroxyl generating devices for greenhouses and food manufacturing facilities for the territory of Mexico. The first products were delivered in October 2023 pursuant to purchase orders for the products. During 2024, the Company completed delivery of its second generation AgriFORCE/RCS hydroxyl generating devices to the Mexican market through its distribution agreement.

The Company will continue to expand sales into Mexico through its distributor, Commercializadora DESICO. Based on its sale into the poultry industry in Mexico, the Company is expanding its distribution of its Clean System solutions into other Latin American markets and the United States.

BUSINESS PLAN

  • Continue introduction into the Mexico market with our exclusive distributor
  • Identify and set up exclusive distribution agreements for the EMEA region
  • Start commercializing the Hydroxyl Devices into the US market of CEA and Food Manufacturing
  • Launch full line up of Hydroxyl Devices : in-Duct HVAC unit, Portable Industrial QuadPro Unit, Small Rooms Wall-Mount unit

2026

  • Expand Distribution Network into Latin America and Asia.

Merger and Acquisition (“M&A”)

The Company plans to evaluate accretive M&A opportunities of an appropriate scale as it progresses with its ongoing business plans surrounding its already owned IP and improvements thereto. Any M&A propositions must be of a size and scale which works to complement the Company’s ongoing business in terms of allocation of resources.

The Company intends to focus any M&A activity on targets which are focused the bitcoin mining space. This refocused M&A strategy will ensure that proper personnel and economic resources are allocated to the Company’s ongoing businesses, while refocusing efforts on synergistic opportunities which work to enhance the Company’s existing assets.

As a result of this refocus of the M&A strategy, the following formerly considered acquisition opportunities are no longer being considered by the Company:

Sustainable Bitcoin Mining

As of the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company has entered into the sustainable Bitcoin mining industry and has completed two acquisitions since late November 2024 pursuant to which the Company now owns and operates three Bitcoin mining facilities, one in Alberta, Canada and two in Ohio, for a total of 1120 BITMAIN Antminer S19j units. The facility is powered by sustainable energy, advancing AgriFORCE’s mission to integrate innovative technologies that promote environmental stewardship while generating significant financial returns. The Company is proud to announce the launch of sustainable agricultural operations at its newly acquired Bitcoin mining facility in Sturgeon County, Alberta, Canada. By harnessing the excess heat and carbon emissions from Bitcoin mining, AgriFORCE is pioneering a novel approach to promote agricultural productivity while reducing environmental impact.

As we approach a key milestone in the progression of our growth strategy it is important to clarify how our adoption of an innovative combination of technologies will reduce the environmental impact of data centers while simultaneously producing revenue from high yield agricultural operations. Upon closing we intend to utilize our new data center to leverage energy generated from flare natural gas-powered operations to increase the environmental mitigation and revenue potential of our integrated cogeneration site. Located in Alberta, Canada, at the site of the intended acquisition, we will be testing an integrated and automated onsite carbon sequestering agricultural operation which will reuse the waste energy from the onsite natural gas generator. By adopting this integrated approach, we’re able to reduce our carbon emissions while also contributing to local food security and economic growth.

While benefiting from Alberta’s strong incentive programs, i.e., the Alberta Carbon Capture Incentive Program, the Company hopes to reuse waste resources to produce profit from cryptocurrency mining, Alberta carbon credits for carbon sequestration and methane reduction, and the sale of premium crops. Upon completion of the acquisition, the Company’s process will capture natural gas flares to generate significant low-cost energy to operate the cryptocurrency mining rigs. The new facility, and any facilities that the Company may acquire moving forward, will capture and redirect heat from miners and the generator to warm an enclosure suitable for growing white-legged shrimp (Penaeus Vannamei), and controlled environment agriculture. The facility will then be utilized to produce a continuous supply of fresh shrimp, red seaweed and micro-greens for local markets and restaurants. Micro-greens are a fast-growing, nutrient-dense crop that requires relatively little space and water to produce commercial yields, while significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The facility, powered by an on-site generator, utilizing flared gas, integrates carbon capture and heat reuse technologies to support the cultivation of premium crops and aquaculture. Targeted products include white-legged shrimp, nutrient-dense micro-greens, and high-demand red seaweed—key contributors to food security and economic development in the region. These sustainable practices are designed to offset the greenhouse gas emissions associated with high-energy Bitcoin mining, demonstrating a model for future growth.

On November 28, 2024, AgriForce Growing Systems, Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement with Rivogenix Energy Corp. to acquire and consummated the acquisition of various assets which comprise a bitcoin mining facility in Sturgeon County, Alberta, Canada. The assets were acquired for $1.5 million in cash from the Company’s own available cashflow and are comprised of a data center and approximately 130 bitcoin miners.

On January 17, 2025, AgriForce Growing Systems, Ltd. (the “Company”) purchased assets comprising a five MW Bitcoin mining facility (on two sites) in Columbiana County Ohio (the “Facility”) from Bald Eagle County, LLC. The asset purchase price (including purchase of an option to purchase the Facility) was $4.55 million. The assets purchased consist of following assets, inter alia: Nine hundred (900) S-19 J Pro BITMAIN Antminers, transformers necessary to operate the Facility, five (5) custom 40 ft Crypto Canman housing containers including 5 power distribution boxes, one Caterpillar trailer mounted standby generator, one Doosan trailer mounted generator set, eight shipping containers and five 1 MW natural gas generator power plants. The Company also received assignment of power purchase agreements to purchase gas at $0.04 per kWh and access leases to the realty underlying the Facility.

This acquisition is a pivotal step in AgriFORCE’s commitment to integrating sustainable energy solutions, advanced data operations, and innovative agricultural initiatives to create long-term value for shareholders.

Powered by 5 MW of natural gas energy, the facility is currently operational with over 900 bitcoin mining units and has the capacity to scale up to 1,200 units. Utilizing energy derived from flare natural gas, the facility not only generates consistent revenue but also minimizes its environmental footprint. Plans are in place to enhance operations by repurposing waste heat and implementing carbon capture technology, enabling diversified revenue streams through sustainable agricultural practices, such as premium crop cultivation and aquaculture systems.

Currently all mined assets are held and we have no intention to sell unless the Company requires the cash for maintaining operations. The Company is in the process of developing a written policy to govern the cold-storage and liquidation process for selling and borrowing using our bitcoin assets. As of now, the Company holds all of its bitcoin in a BitGo wallet. There is limited risk in volatility at present in bitcoin pricing due to our policy of holding bitcoin for the long term. We have not sold any Bitcoin as of the date of this filing.

We have an agreement with Bitgo to hold out Bitcoin in cold storage with instantaneous liquidity available. They will also act as our exchange.

Our miners have an average age of three years in all of our facilities. Statistics on our miners are as follows:

Efficiency: median: 99.86%; mean: 99.58%; range: 99.26 – 99.9%. Our average downtime for scheduled and nonscheduled is 24 hours in a month. This includes activities related to weather and optimization of the power units and miner boards.

Our weighted average of cost of Bitcoin mined is approximately $41,000. Our approximate inputs are as follows:

Alberta:

1 BTC at this site alone will take 112.4 days at an average operating cost of $712.50/day due to low capacity. So, before optimization, the cost for 1 BTC is approximately $56,000 at this site

Ohio:

The site has been running at 67PH/s at 2500kWh and $0.05/kWh generating approximately 0.03735 BTC/day.

We generate 1BTC every 26 days at this site at a cost of $1,350/day, so the Ohio cost is $35,100/BTC mined.

A weighted average of the two sites puts the total cost of approximately $41,000 per BTC mined. This number is approximated as the operation of these sites has only commenced within the last few months and may vary due to multiple factors including weather conditions, any unforeseen maintenance issues such as glycol buildup in generators and other potential major maintenance issues.

In February, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase 220 new BITMAIN Antminer S19kPro miners from a third-party supplier, with the understanding that the units were available at the point of manufacture in China. Payment in full was made in full. Following the purchase, the supplier experienced delays in securing the S19kPro units from the manufacturer. To mitigate the delay, the Company and the supplier agreed to apply the value of the 220 S19kPro miners toward an equivalent cost basis in newer-generation BITMAIN S21 XP miners. As a result, AGRI acquired 50 new S21 XP miners, each with a hashrate of 270 TH/s. These miners were released from Canadian Customs on Wednesday April 2, 2025. As of the date of this filing, the units are expected to be delivered to our EPCM contractor’s facility in Grand Prairie, Alberta and then travel to the Sturgeon County, Alberta mining facility within the week. Installation and deployment will begin immediately upon arrival, with full operational status expected by Wednesday April 9, 2025. Subsequent infrastructure maintenance and minor upgrades have been completed. The 50 S21 XP miners are expected to contribute a combined hashrate of approximately 13.5 PH/s to our operations.

Financing Initiatives

In late January 2025, the Company also closed on the first tranche of an up to $50 million financing facility with institutional investors. The Company utilized a portion of the first $7 million tranche to pay for the acquisition of the assets. The Company is grateful to its investors for the confidence placed in its ability to execute its business plan with the closing of the third acquisition in six months, which as with the Redwater acquisition is providing immediately cash flow to the Company.

This acquisition has increased the Company’s hashrate by over 600% and highlights the Company’s strategic growth plan of stranded gas assets to be coupled with sustainable agricultural assets in the coming months. Ohio has positioned itself as a pioneer in blockchain and cryptocurrency innovation, driven by initiatives like the proposed Ohio Bitcoin Reserve Act (HB 703). This legislation, aimed at leveraging Bitcoin as a hedge against currency devaluation, underscores the state’s commitment to financial and technological advancements. AgriFORCE’s investment in the Columbiana County facility aligns with these efforts, cementing Ohio’s reputation as a leader in clean energy integration and digital asset development.

Economic and Social Benefits

The facility’s operations are expected to generate meaningful economic benefits for Ohio, including:

  • Job Creation: The project will create new opportunities in advanced technology and sustainable agriculture, addressing workforce development needs in the region.
  • Enhanced Food Security: By implementing agricultural practices that produce nutrient-rich crops, AgriFORCE will contribute to addressing food insecurity challenges in Ohio, where over 14% of households face such issues.

Status as an Emerging Growth Company

On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected to avail ourselves of this extended transition period and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for private companies.

We are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, as an “emerging growth company,” we intend to rely on certain of these exemptions from, without limitation, (i) providing an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and (ii) complying with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements, known as the auditor discussion and analysis. We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (a) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the closing of this offering, (b) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.07 billion, (c) the last day of our fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or Exchange Act (which would occur if the market value of our equity securities that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter), or (d) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the preceding three-year period.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2025 AND 2024

Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed unaudited financial statements for the interim periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 included in this report.

Revenues

The Company sells its hydroxyl generating devices directly to customers and indirectly to customers through sales brokers.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company sold and delivered 12 hydroxyl generating devices for gross sales of $71,162. There were no such sales in the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Bitcoin revenue increase due to acquisition of bald eagle bitcoin mining operations started during Q1 2025, producing approximately 1 bitcoin a month.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses primarily consist of wages and salaries, professional fees, consulting, office and administration, investor and public relations, research and development, and share-based compensation.

Operating expenses increased during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to March 31, 2024 by $798,789 or 59% primarily due to the following:

  • Decrease in professional fees due to certain lawsuits being settled early Q1 2025, while Q1 2024 had significant litigation costs.
  • Office and administrative costs decrease by $110,726. Decrease is due to reduction in office expenses due to reduction in staff in Q1 2025 and also move to a virtual office.

Other Expenses / (Income)

Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to the following:

  • Change in fair value of derivative liabilities improved by $3,000,680 due to significant more conversion features and warrants issued in Q1 2025 that were revalued as at March 31, 2025 with significantly lower liability values.
  • Loss on debt extinguishment decreased by $295,049 due to limited extinguishments during the period due to a lot fewer conversions during the Q1 2025.
  • (Gain) loss on conversion of convertible debt improved by $359,295 due to limited conversion during the period due to a lot fewer conversions during the Q1 2025
  • Other income decrease by $39,367 due to minimal interest on cash since the Company had limited cash during Q1 2025.
  • Accretion interest on debentures decreased by $392,862 to a lower accretion interest rates applied to Q1 2025 outstanding debentures. The higher accretion interest rates for Q1 2024 were due to higher amounts of initial convertible debenture balance being bifurcated to derivative liabilities, creating a lower opening convertible debenture balance and higher accretion interest rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary need for liquidity is to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures, and for general corporate purposes. The Company’s ability to fund operations and make planned capital expenditures and debt service obligations depends on future operating performance and cash flows, which are subject to prevailing economic conditions, financial markets, business and other factors. We have recorded a net loss of $145,455 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. We have recorded an accumulated deficit of $60,927,574 as of March 31, 2025 and $60,782,119 as of December 31, 2024. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 was $2,172,409 and $1,309,334 respectively.

The Company held $1,351,983 in cash as at March 31, 2025 as compared to $489,868 as at December 31, 2024.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

  • the cost and timing of our regulatory activities, especially the process to obtain regulatory approval for our intellectual properties in the U.S. and in foreign countries;
  • the costs of R&D activities we undertake to further develop our technology;
  • the costs of constructing our grow houses, including any impact of complications, delays, and other unknown events;
  • the costs of commercialization activities, including sales, marketing and production;
  • the costs of our mergers and acquisitions activity;
  • the level of working capital required to support our growth; and
  • our need for additional personnel, information technology or other operating infrastructure to support our growth and operations as a public company.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company is at the stage of development. As such it is likely that additional financing will be needed by the Company to fund its operations and to develop and commercialize its technology. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

For the next twelve months from issuance of these financial statements, the Company will seek to obtain additional capital through the sale of debt or equity financings or other arrangements to fund operations; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise needed capital under acceptable terms, if at all. The sale of additional equity may dilute existing shareholders and newly issued shares may contain senior rights and preferences compared to currently outstanding common shares. Issued debt securities may contain covenants and limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to shareholders. If the Company is unable to obtain such additional financing, future operations would need to be scaled back or discontinued. Due to the uncertainty in the Company’s ability to raise capital, management believes that there is substantial doubt in the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements.

Cash Flows

The net cash used by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $2,172,409 compared to $1,309,334 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease of $1,511,408 was primarily due to the following:

  • Increase in cash flow adjustments of $143,134 for share based compensation due to share compensation offer to CEO and Chairman of the Company.
  • Decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets used in operating activities of $335,358.
  • Increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $193,506 due to delays in paying bills, AP turnover slowed.

36

  • Decrease in net loss of $3,182,245 due to operating expenses and other income (expense) noted above.
  • Non-cash change in fair value of derivative liabilities improved by $3,000,680 due to (1) the draw down as well as the extinguishment of conversion feature derivatives as a result of significant conversions of several tranches of debentures, and (2) the Company’s stock price stabilizing during the period between, resulting in the smaller revaluation adjustment as at March 31, 2025
  • Decrease in loss on debt extinguishment cash adjustment by $295,049 as a result of unscheduled conversions of debentures into the Company’s common shares which triggered extinguishments of debt due to the change of the fair value of the debt after the conversions.
  • Improvement in (gain) loss on conversion of convertible debt cash adjustment by $359,295 due to a significant amount of unscheduled conversions that resulted in shares issued at a higher premium above the exercise price compared to shares issued during the six months ended March 31, 2024.

Net cash used in investing activities was $4,765,000 for cash consideration paid for the Bald Eagle Bitcoin Mining Acquisition.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, represents net proceeds from debentures of $8,188,000 and repayments of convertible debentures $110,000. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024, represents net proceeds from debentures of $1,000,000. This was partially offset by repayments on convertible debentures of $668,568, financing costs of debentures of $50,000.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our management is also required to assess and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework in the 2013 COSO framework. Based on this assessment, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Controls.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management recognizes that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain judgments and assumptions and cannot provide absolute assurance that its objectives will be met. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Similarly, an evaluation of controls cannot provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

Risk factors
