NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods shown and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending August 31, 2024. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2023.
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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the estimated useful lives of property and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) which the Company controls. For accounting purposes, control is established by an investor when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and when it can affect those returns through its power over the entity. All inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all cash accounts, which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amount of financial instruments included in cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short maturities for the instruments held. The Company had no cash equivalents as of May 31, 2024 and August 31, 2023.
Inventory
Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with the cost being determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. The Company periodically reviews physical inventory and will record a reserve for excess and/or obsolete inventory if necessary.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are capitalized in accordance with ASC Topic 350 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other”. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their respective estimated lives and reviewed for impairment whenever events or other changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Amortization expense for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 and 2023 was $22,801 and $0 respectively.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requires expanded disclosures about leasing arrangements. The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company must discount lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate which is based on the interest rate of similar debt outstanding. The Company uses a discount rate of 10% per annum which is the same rate of interest being paid on a current outstanding loan.
Stock-based Compensation
We account for equity-based transactions with employees and non-employees under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (Topic 718), which establishes that equity-based payments to employees and non-employees are recorded at the grant date the fair value of the equity instruments the entity is obligated to issue when the employees and non-employees have rendered the requisite service and satisfied any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments. Topic 718 also states that observable market prices of identical or similar equity or liability instruments in active markets are the best evidence of fair value and, if available, should be used as the basis for the measurement for equity and liability instruments awarded in these share-based payment transactions. However, if observable market prices of identical or similar equity or liability instruments are not available, the fair value shall be estimated by using a valuation technique or model that complies with the measurement objective, as described in FASB ASC Topic 718.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
| · | Identification of a contract with a customer; |
| · | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract; |
| · | Determination of the transaction price; |
| · | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
| · | Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied. |
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. As a practical expedient, the Company does not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component if, at contract inception, the period between customer payment and the transfer of goods or services is expected to be one year or less.
Net income (loss) per common share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially outstanding common shares assumes that the Company incorporated as of the beginning of the first period presented. For the quarter ended May 31, 2024, the Company has 7,774 potentially dilutive shares from Series A preferred stock and 304,558 potentially dilutive shares from the Series D preferred stock and 1,259,000 warrants which are convertible at $1.00 per share into 1,259,000 common shares As of May 31, 2023, the Company has 10,667 potentially dilutive shares from Series A preferred stock, 380,698 potentially dilutive shares from the Series D preferred stock and approximately 841,940 potentially dilutive shares from a convertible note payable. When the Company as a net loss any potentially dilutive shares have not been included due to their anti-dilutive effect.

The weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially outstanding common shares assumes that the Company incorporated as of the beginning of the first period presented.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC Topic No. 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels, as described below:
Level 1: Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets, quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active, and observable inputs other than quoted prices such as interest rates.
Level 3: Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
On August 23, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, under which an entity that qualifies as either a joint venture or a corporate joint venture as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) master glossary is required to apply a new basis of accounting upon the formation of the joint venture. Specifically, the ASU provides that a joint venture or a corporate joint venture (collectively, “joint ventures”) must initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value on the formation date. The amendments in ASU 2023-05 are effective for all joint ventures within the ASU’s scope that are formed on or after January 1, 2025. Early adoption is permitted.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying unaudited financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $53,447,141 as of May 31, 2024, and no revenue. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company is planning to secure its financial capital in various ways. It will finance its operations initially through shareholder loans from the principals and through private placement investment offerings. The Company may decide to finance its project development stage by way of an equity offering by issuing shares or by engaging venture capital firms that invest in early-stage companies. Venture capital firms do more than just supply money to small new opportunities. They can also provide advice on potential products, customers, and key employees.
The company will also look to develop a relationship with a bank or banks with the intention of demonstrating a track record of progress and building value and securing some form of financing in the future. Once Astra Energy Inc. has a record of at least earning significant revenues, and better still of earning profits, the firm can make a credible promise to pay interest, and so it becomes possible for the firm to borrow money. Firms have two main methods of borrowing: banks and bonds.
If Astra Energy is earning profits (their revenues are greater than costs), the Company can choose to reinvest some of these profits in equipment, structures, and research and development. For many established companies, reinvesting their own profits is one primary source of financial capital.
Another source of financial capital that will be considered at the project development stage of a specific project is a bond. A bond is a financial contract: a borrower agrees to repay the amount that was borrowed and also a rate of interest over a period of time in the future. A corporate bond is issued by firms, but bonds are also issued by various levels of government. For example, a municipal bond is issued by cities, a state bond by U.S. states, and a Treasury bond by the federal government through the U.S. Department of the Treasury. A bond specifies an amount that will be borrowed, the interest rate that will be paid, and the time until repayment. Given the nature of the renewable industry regarding long term power purchase agreements or offtake agreements bonds are a very cost effective and reliable method of funding projects.
NOTE 4 – LICENSE
In September 2023, the Company acquired an exclusive manufacturing license to manufacture the Holcomb In-Line Power Generator in exchange for 5 million common shares of the Company for a deemed value of $1,685,000. The valuation of the license is based on the deemed value of patents, the size of the potential market for the technology and numerous expressions of interest to purchase product. If the Company fails to raise the necessary capital to set up manufacturing and distribution, this license would be at risk and would become subject to impairment in full.
NOTE 5 - INVESTMENT
The investment of $2,725,000 relates to the acquisition of 50% of the outstanding shares of Astra-Holcomb Energy Systems LLC., a Delaware entity, in exchange for 5 million shares of the Company’s common stock and the acquisition of the global manufacturing and distribution rights for the Holcomb In-Line Power Generator in exchange for 5 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The value of the acquisition was based on the closing stock price of the Company’s shares on the effective date of the agreement.
NOTE 6 - OPERATING LEASES
The value of these leases is based primarily on engineering studies and letters from government agencies accepting preliminary studies for the installation of renewable energy sources and the provision of Power Purchase Agreements. If the Company fails to raise the necessary capital for the installations of energy and does not receive the Power Purchase Agreements, the total value of these leases would be subject to impairment in full.
On May 10, 2023, Astra Energy Zanzibar Limited entered into a Lease Agreement with Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar, for 3.457 Hectares (approximately 8.5 acres) of land at Kibele South Region of Unguja. The term of the lease is 33 years with yearly lease payments of $6,914 payable on or before December 1st of each year.
On May 10, 2023, Astra Energy Zanzibar Limited entered into a Lease Agreement with Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar, for 80.35 Hectares (approximately 198.5 acres) of land at Kibele South Region of Unguja. The term of the lease is 33 years with yearly lease payments of $160,700 payable on or before December 1st of each year.
As per the terms of the lease, the Company is delinquent in its first payment and has incurred a penalty. However, it was agreed to by both Astra Energy Inc. and The Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar that the Zanzibar land leases were not going to be paid until a Power Purchase Agreement was in place as this is a critical condition for funding the project. The company plans to fund the project for $195M and make the lease payments accordingly.

Business Operations
Astra Energy is an emerging company in the waste management industry and the electricity and power generation sectors with a focus on energy production from solar, waste conversion and clean burning fuels. The Company strives to advance clean energy initiatives globally while delivering measurable benefits to communities and value to our investors by investing in and developing renewable and clean energy projects in markets where demand is high and supply is limited.
CLEAN ENERGY PROJECTS:
Astra Energy in concert with the government of Tanzania is advancing a 350MW (Megawatt) Combined Cycle Gas Power Plant project. The government of Tanzania provided a positive response to the expression of interest, and they have requested a technical proposal or Project Feasibility Report. Astra is applying for Advocacy support for this project from the US Mission in Tanzania. The Company is currently in discussions to acquire land and is looking at an existing 350MW Combined Cycle Gas Power Plant (the “Plant”).
Astra is in continuing discussions to secure both a Power Purchase Agreement and a gas supply agreement with the Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation for the natural gas required to fuel the Plant. Once these agreements are executed, the Company will seek an equity partner for the project and debt financing to build out the project.
Astra Energy is advancing a "Clean Energy Park" on the island of Zanzibar which includes a 42.5MW solar farm combined with a waste to energy system to convert 15 tons of municipal solid waste per hour into 7.5MW/hour of electric power and battery storage. The project will enable the island to dispose of all its garbage, thereby avoiding the need for a garbage landfill. Landfills are major generators of methane, a major greenhouse gas that is responsible for global warming.
The Prefeasibility Report has been completed and there are continuing discussions with the island government regarding the Power Purchase Agreement to feed the power into the grid network. Over 200 acres of land has been secured by Astra on a long-term lease basis.
The island of Zanzibar is a semi-autonomous territory of Tanzania in the Indian ocean. Electric power to the island is currently provided using two 100MW submarine cables from mainland Tanzania. These cables are now at capacity. The island wishes to have an independent power supply. Therefore, the immediate need for an additional 50MW of power in less than two years.
POWER GENERATION TECHNOLOGY:
In October 2022, the Company entered into a Joint Venture with Holcomb Scientific Research Ltd. (“HSR”) to manufacture and distribute the innovative and patent protected Holcomb Inline Power Generator (ILPG) for homes, commercial applications, solar projects, electric vehicles, large power scale power plants, and many more applications. On September 22, 2023, Astra entered into an Exclusive Worldwide Manufacturing License Agreement with Holcomb Energy Systems. Holcomb owns a license for certain intellectual property rights licensed to it by Holcomb Scientific Research Ltd., relating to power generation, including the Holcomb Energy System In-Line Power Generator and Self-Sustaining Power Plant worldwide. Pursuant to the Agreement, Holcomb has agreed to sublicense the intellectual property to the Company.
HSR is a Research and Development company that has created the patent-protected Holcomb Energy System, a scientific breakthrough in clean energy generation. The HES utilizes the natural energy produced by the electron spin in the iron atom, converting it into usable electricity while requiring no fuel, releasing zero carbon emissions, and having no moving parts - therefore running completely silent.
WASTE TO ENERGY TECHNOLOGY
Regreen Technologies Inc. (“Regreen”), a related, California-based “zero emissions” clean energy company. Regreen is involved in research and development of the science of converting municipal solid waste (MSW) and organic waste into “zero emission” marketable commodities, such as clean electricity, biofuels, animal feeds, fertilizers, organic pesticides, and reclaimed water purification.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Currently, we have limited operating capital. Our current capital and our other existing resources will not be sufficient to provide the working capital needed for our current business. Additional capital will be required to meet our debt obligations, and to further expand our business. We may be unable to obtain the additional capital required. Our inability to generate capital or raise additional funds when required will have a negative impact on our business development and financial results.
Cash Flow Activity
For the nine months ended May 31, 2024, we used $21,234 of cash in operations compared to $619,102 used in the prior period.
For the nine months ended May 31, 2024, we used $20,723 (May 31, 2023 - $0) in investing activities.
For the nine months ended May 31, 2024, we received $45,300 (May 31, 2023 - $429,500) from financing activities.
With our current cash balance will be unable to sustain operations for the next twelve months. We need to raise additional funds by issuing new debt or equity securities or otherwise. If we fail to raise sufficient capital when needed, we will not be able to complete our business plan. We are a development stage company and have generated limited revenue to date. The future of our Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations.
We estimate that our operating expenses over the next 12 months will be approximately $600,000. This estimate may change significantly depending on the ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources.
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales and grants of our common stock in order to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned business activities. We presently do not have any arrangements for additional financing and no potential lines of credit or sources of financing are currently available for the purpose of proceeding with our plan of operations.
