Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024

(Unaudited)

1. INCORPORATION, BUSINESS ACTIVITIES AND GOING CONCERN

SATO Technologies Corp. (the "Company" or "SATO") was incorporated under the Ontario Business Corporations Act on May 7, 2008 as Capricorn Business Acquisitions Inc. ("Capricorn"). The Company's shares are listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") on September 16, 2021. The Group's head office is located at 66 Wellington Street West, Suite 5300, Toronto, Ontario M5K 1E6 and its only place of business is located at 289 Dugas Joliette, Québec, Canada, J6E 4H1.

The subsidiary Canada Computational Unlimited Inc. was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of Québec on November 16, 2017. The Company carried on the business of Canada Computational Unlimited Inc. as a Tier 2 technology issuer under the symbol "SATO". SATO Corp., the Company's US based subsidiary was incorporated under the Delaware General Corporation Law on October 11, 2023.

The Company and its subsidiaries ("the Group") are in the business of utilizing specialized equipment to solve complex computational problems to validate transactions on the bitcoin blockchain. The Group receives digital assets in return for computing power and is primarily engaged in the cryptocurrency mining industry, a highly volatile market with significant inherent risk. A significant decline in the market prices of cryptocurrencies, an increase in the difficulty of cryptocurrency mining, changes in the regulatory environment and adverse changes in other inherent risks can significantly and negatively impact the Group's operations. In addition, adverse changes to the factors mentioned above may impact the carrying value of the Group's property and equipment resulting in impairment charges being recorded. All the assets of the Group are located in Joliette, Quebec, Canada and there is one operating segment being provider of compute power for Bitcoin Mining.

Going Concern

As at March 31, 2025, the Group had an accumulated deficit of $11,186,630 and $10,301,188 as at December 31, 2024. Net income for three months ended March 31, 2025 was $885,442. The Group had a working capital deficiency of $1,678,127 as at March 31, 2025 and a working capital deficiency of $108,648 as at December 31, 2024. These conditions raise material uncertainties which may cast significant doubt as to whether the Group will be able to continue as a going concern.

The cryptocurrency mining industry is subject to halving events, which are pre-determined and scheduled occurrences that reduce the reward for mining transactions by half. The halving event occurred on April 19th, 2024. This event has had an impact on the Group's revenues. These conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

In assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, management has made significant judgments and estimates. These include projections of digital assets prices, the impact of the halving event on the Group's revenues, the exchange rate and the effectiveness of the mitigation actions mentioned below. These judgments are subject to a high degree of inherent uncertainty, given the volatile nature of the cryptocurrency market and regulatory environment.

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which presumes realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Group's ability to continue as a going concern depends on its ability to generate sufficient cash resources to meet its obligations for at least twelve months from the end of the reporting period.

Management has implemented in the past a series of measures to address this concern and will continue to do so if required in order to improve the Group's financial position, including:

  • Cost review initiatives: the Group has undertaken a comprehensive review of its cost structure and would implement possible measures to reduce its cost of operations and general and administration expenses.
  • Equity financing: Management regularly monitors capital markets and considers opportunities presented to it for equity offerings, and believes, based on these offers and recent activity among other companies in the industry, that there are reasonable prospects for obtaining equity financing.

  1. INCORPORATION, BUSINESS ACTIVITIES AND GOING CONCERN (continued)

As a result, these condensed interim unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Group be unable to continue a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

  1. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Statement of compliance

These interim unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim financial reporting. These interim unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of the Group were reviewed, approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 28, 2025.

Basis of presentation

These condensed interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and under the historical cost basis, except for some financial instruments and some assets that have been measured at fair value.

Basis of consolidation

The condensed interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Canada Computational Unlimited Inc. and SATO Corp.

A subsidiary is an entity which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully condensed interim consolidated from the date on which control is acquired and de-condensed interim consolidated from the date that control ceases.

The interim unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the Group, using consistent accounting policies. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.

  1. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of computation as those applied in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, as described in Note 3 thereto, and should be read in conjunction with those audited financial statements.

Revenue recognition

The Group records revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("IFRS 15"). The core principle of this standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

Step 1 - Identifying the contract with and its customer;
Step 2 - Identifying the performance obligations in the contract;
Step 3 - Determining the transaction price, which is the total consideration provided by the customer;
Step 4 - Allocating the transaction price among the performance obligations in the contract based on their relative fair values; and
Step 5 - Recognizing revenue when (or as) the Group satisfies a performance obligation.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Digital assets earned

The Group has entered into arrangements, as amended from time to time, with mining pools operators and has undertaken the performance obligation of performing hash computations (i.e., hashrate) to the mining pools in exchange for non-cash consideration in the form of digital assets. The provision of computing power to mining pools is an output of the Group's ordinary activities. The Group has the right to decide the point in time and duration for which it will provide hash computation services to the mining pools. As a result, the Company's enforceable right to compensation only begins when, and continues as long as, the Company provides computing power to the mining pool operator. The contracts are terminable at any time by either party without substantive compensation to the other party for such termination. Upon termination, the mining pool operator (i.e., the customer) is required to pay the Group any amount due related to previously satisfied performance obligations. Therefore, the Group has determined that the duration of the contract is less than 24 hours and that the contract continuously renews throughout the day. The Company has determined that this renewal right is not a material right as the terms, conditions, and compensation amounts are at then market rates. There is no significant financing component in these transactions.

In exchange for providing computing power, which represents the Group's only performance obligation, the Group is entitled to non-cash consideration in the form of digital assets, calculated under a payout methods, depending on the mining pool. The payout method used by the mining pools in which the Group participated are the Full Pay Per Share ("FPPS"). This payout methods contain three components, (1) a fractional share of the fixed cryptocurrency award from the mining pool operator (referred to as a "block reward"), (2) transaction fees generated from (paid by) blockchain users to execute transactions and distributed (paid out) to individual miners by the mining pool operator, and (3) mining pool operating fees retained by the mining pool operator for operating the mining pool. The Company's total compensation is the sum of the Company's share of (1) block rewards and (2) transaction fees, less (3) mining pool operating fees:

  1. Block rewards earned by the Group are calculated by the mining pool operator based on the proportion of hashrate the Group contributed to the mining pool to the total network hashrate used in solving the current algorithm. The Group is entitled to its relative share of consideration even if a block is not successfully added to the blockchain by the mining pool.
  2. Transaction fees refer to the total fees paid by users of the network to execute transactions. Under FPPS, the Company is entitled to a pro-rata share of the total network transaction fees. The transaction fees paid out by the mining pool operator to the Group is based on the proportion of hashrate the Group contributed to the mining pool to the total network hashrate. The Group is entitled to its relative share of consideration even if a block is not successfully added to the blockchain by the mining pool.
  3. Mining pool operating fees are charged by the mining pool operator for operating the mining pool as set forth in a rate schedule to the mining pool contract. The mining pool operating fees reduce the total amount of compensation the Group receives and are only incurred to the extent that the Group has generated mining revenue pursuant to the mining pool operators' payout calculation.

Because the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled for providing computing power is entirely variable (block rewards, transaction fees and pool operating fees), as well as being non-cash consideration, the Group assesses the estimated amount of the variable non-cash consideration to which it expects to be entitled for providing computing power at contract inception and subsequently, to determine when and to what extent it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur once the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. For each contract under the FPPS payout method, the Company recognizes the non-cash consideration on the same day that control of the contracted service transfers to the mining pool operator, which is the same day as the contract inception. The Group measures non-cash consideration at the cryptocurrency closing price of the day on the date of contract inception, as determined by the Company's principal market, which is Coinbase Prime.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Management considers the prices quoted on Coinbase Prime to be a Level 1 input under IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement ("IFRS 13"). Any difference between the fair value of digital assets recorded upon receipt from selling hashrate activities and the actual realized price upon disposal are recorded as a gain or loss on disposition of digital assets.

Digital assets

Digital assets consist of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Digital assets meet the definition of intangible assets in IAS 38 Intangible Assets as they are identifiable non-monetary assets without physical substance. They are initially recorded at cost and the revaluation method is used to measure the digital assets subsequently. Where digital assets are recognized as revenue, the fair value of the digital asset received is considered to be the cost of the digital assets. Under the revaluation method, increases in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income, while decreases are recorded in profit or loss. The Group revalues its digital assets at the end of each quarter. There is no recycling of gains from other comprehensive income to profit or loss. However, to the extent that an increase in fair value reverses a previous decrease in fair value that has been recorded in profit or loss, that increase is recorded in profit or loss. Decreases in fair value that reverse gains previously recorded in other comprehensive income are recorded in other comprehensive income. Gains and losses on digital assets sold between revaluation dates are included in profit or loss.

Digital assets are measured at fair value using the quoted price on Coinbase Prime. The Group has determined Coinbase Prime as the most advantageous market due to its liquidity, market accessibility, and competitive transaction fees, as no principal market has been identified for the digital assets. The most advantageous market is defined as the market that maximizes the net proceeds from selling the asset, after considering transaction costs. Management considers this fair value measurement to be a Level 1 input under IFRS 13, as Coinbase Prime provides quoted prices directly observable in active markets for identical digital assets without adjustments.

Non-monetary transactions

Where the Group is settling with digital assets, a liability for the purchase of goods and services where the price was established in a quantity of digital assets, the difference between the liability's initial fair value of the quantity of digital assets settled and the fair value of the digital assets transferred is recognized as a gain or loss on settlement.

Income taxes

The Group applies the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Current tax expense is recognized based on the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using the enacted tax rate at period end, adjusted for any amendments with regards to previous years.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future income tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax losses carried forward. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the substantively enacted tax rates that will be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the underlying tax loss or deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax liabilities are always recognized in full. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Group has a right and intention to set off current tax assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority.

Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized as a component of tax income or expense in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The Group has earned bitcoin from the commercial activity of digital assets mining by using pools. The Group has followed the published Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") view that Bitcoin is a commodity and inventory of the business, the value of which is included in the calculation of taxable income from the business. Digital assets are valued in accordance with Section 10 of the Income Tax Act. Revenue from bitcoin mining is included in taxable income when the bitcoin is earned from the pools. There is uncertainty regarding the taxation of cryptocurrency and the CRA may assess the Group differently from the position adopted. This could result in additional current taxes payable with equal offset to deferred tax expense.

Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Group

At the date of authorization of these condensed interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, several new, but not yet effective, standards and amendments to existing standards, and interpretations have been published by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). None of these standards or amendments to existing standards have been adopted early by the Group. Management anticipates that all relevant pronouncements will be adopted for the first period beginning on or after the effective date of the pronouncement. New standards, amendments and interpretations not adopted in the current year have not been disclosed as they are not expected to have a material impact on the Group's condensed interim unaudited consolidated financial statements except for the following:

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in the Financial Statements

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, which replaced IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. Although IFRS 18 includes many of the requirements of IAS 1, it introduces new requirements to better structure financial statements and provides more detailed and useful information to investors, including:

  • two new subtotals defined in the statement of profit or loss, namely (1) operating profit and (2) profit or loss before financing and income taxes;
  • the classification of all income and expenses within the statement of profit or loss in one of five categories;
  • a new requirement to disclose performance measures defined by management;
  • an improvement in the principles related to the aggregation and disaggregation of information in the financial statements and accompanying notes.

The publication of IFRS 18 results also in consequential amendments to other IFRS standards, including IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows.

IFRS 18 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with earlier application permitted. IFRS 18 will apply retrospectively with specific transitional provisions.

The Group is currently working to identify all impacts that the amendments will have on the primary financial statements and notes to the interim unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements.

Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of these condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting standards requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting year. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include estimates that, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimate is revised and future years if the revision affects both current and future years. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Critical accounting judgements

The following are the judgments made by management in applying the accounting policies of the Group that have the most significant effect on these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Income, valued added, withholding and other taxes

The Group is subject to income, value added, withholding and other taxes. Significant judgment is required in determining the Group's provisions for taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. The determination of the Group's income, value added, withholding and other tax liabilities requires interpretation of complex laws and regulations. The Group's interpretation of taxation law as applied to transactions and activities may not coincide with the interpretation of the tax authorities. All tax related filings are subject to government audit and potential reassessment subsequent to the condensed interim consolidated financial statement reporting period. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the tax related accruals and deferred income tax provisions in the year in which such determination is made.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

Information about estimates and assumptions that may have the most significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses is provided below. Actual results may be substantially different.

4. RESTATEMENT OF STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

The consolidated statement of cash flows has been restated to reclassify the cash proceeds from the sale of digital assets and the cash disbursements related to their acquisition, which are accounted for as intangible assets under IAS 38, from cash flows from operations to cash flows from investing activities.

Originally, the Company classified the proceeds from sale and purchase of digital assets in the consolidated statements of cash flows as operating activities on the basis that its core business and main activities are related to digital assets.

The effects of the restatement on the affected financial statement line items are as follows:

Amount receivable (ii) 507,932 507,932
Total trades and other receivable 879,391 726,883

(i) During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Group assessed that certain sales tax receivables related to Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Québec Sales Tax (QST) may not be recoverable.

This assessment followed a Confirmation of Audit received on December 14, 2022, from Revenu Québec, requesting documentation regarding the Group's treatment of commodity taxes. On October 18, 2023, the Group received a draft notice of assessment, which was based on Revenu Québec's interpretation of Article 188(2), introduced through Canada Revenue Agency's Notice 324 concerning numerical services. According to this guidance, crypto mining entities operating in Canada were not correctly claiming input tax credits (ITCs) and input tax refunds (ITRs).

The Company received the final determination from Revenu Québec in 2024. As at December 31, 2024, the Company has adjusted the carrying amount of the sales tax receivables and removed any balances determined to be uncollectible, along with the reversal of the provision previously recorded.

(ii) In addition, as at March 31, 2025, the Group's client owed the Group uncollected GST and QST related to services provided between December 1, 2019 and July 31, 2023. These amounts represent an excess over the customer deposit initially received, and remain outstanding as at March 31, 2025.

Stock Options

On June 28, 2019, the Group adopted an incentive stock option plan which provides that the Board of Directors of the Group may grant to certain employees. The option price shall be determined by the Board of Directors and shall not be less than the fair market value of the share.

The Group maintains a stock option plan (the "Plan") whereby certain officers, directors and consultants may be granted stock options for common shares of the Group. Options are granted at the fair market value of the shares on the day granted, and vest over various terms. Stock-based compensation is recognized over the vesting period. The Board may from time to time, in its discretion, grant to officers, directors and consultants of the Group, non-transferable options to purchase common shares, provided that the number of common shares reserved for issuance will not exceed ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding common shares exercisable for a period of up to five years from the date of grant. The plan also contains certain specifications when a trigger event occurs that would accelerate vesting.

On March 3, 2025, the Company granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 1,991,424 common shares to directors, officers, consultants and employees. The Options are exercisable into common shares of the Company at a price of $0.185 per share for a period of 5 years from date of grant. A total of 1,085,000 options will vest on April 21, 2025, and 906,424 options will vest on March 3, 2026. The fair value of the options was $285,576. The fair value was calculated using Black & Scholes option pricing model and the following weighted average assumptions:

Share price at the date of the grant: $0.185
Expected life: 5 years
Risk-free interest rate: 2.52%
Expected volatility(1): 105%
Dividend: Nil

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group's risk exposures and the impact on the Group's financial instruments are summarized below.

Fair value

The fair value of the Group's financial instruments, including cash, restricted cash, amount receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of borrowings approximates their carrying amounts based on actualized cash flows (Level 2).

Digital assets are measured at fair value using the quoted price on Coinbase Prime (Level 1).

Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, restricted cash and amounts receivable. The Group limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company believes the concentration of credit risk in its amounts receivables is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation process. The Company does not generally require collateral from customers. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors affecting the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

The Group's exposure to interest rate risk is limited and relates to its ability to earn interest income on cash balances. Changes in short term interest rates will not have a significant effect on the fair value of the Group's cash account.

Based on the net U.S. dollar exposure as at March 31, 2025 a 10% increase in the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate would have had an unfavorable impact of $297,673 on net income ($395,467 for the year ended December 31, 2024). A 10% decrease in the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate would have had an impact of a similar magnitude but in opposite directions on net income.

Based on the net CHF exposure as at March 31, 2025, a 10% increase in the Canadian/CHF exchange rate would have had a favorable impact of $503,766 on net income ($571,878 for the year ended December 31, 2024). A 10% decrease in the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate would have had an impact of a similar magnitude but in opposite directions on net income.

Digital assets and risk management

Digital assets are measured using Level 1 Fair values, determined by taking the rate from Coinbase Prime.

Digital asset prices are affected by various forces including global supply and demand, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation and the global political and economic conditions. The profitability of the Group is directly related to the current and future market price of digital assets; in addition, the Group may not be able liquidate its inventory of digital assets at its desired price if required. A decline in the market prices for digital assets could negatively impact the Group's future operations. The Group has not hedged the conversion of any of its sales of digital assets.

Digital assets have a limited history and the fair value historically has been very volatile. Historical performance of digital assets is not indicative of their future price performance. The Group's digital assets currently solely consist of Bitcoin and Ether.

At March 31, 2025, if the market price of the Group's holdings of digital assets increased or decreased by 10% with all other variables held constant, the corresponding asset value increase or decrease respectively would amount to $290,019 ($455,602 at December 31, 2024).
