NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024
Note 1 – Nature of Operations
Nature of Operations
Tradewinds Universal (“Tradewinds” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Wyoming on December 21, 2021, for the purpose of developing, manufacturing, and distributing high nutrient-based edible insect protein bars, shakes, and other high nutrition foods/ snacks and drinks.
Additionally, on December 11, 2022, Tradewinds acquired a pain relief formula for dogs which it intends to manufacture and distribute in the form of treats.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which management believes are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company.
Estimates
The preparation of the financial statement in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash And Cash Equivalents
The Company maintains a cash balance in a
non-interest-bearing account that currently does not exceed federally insured limits. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows,
all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were
Inventory
Inventory is recorded at lower of cost or market; cost is computed on a first-in first-out basis.
Intangible Asset
As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023,
the Company had an Intangible Asset of $
Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets
The Company determines its long-lived assets impairment
in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360-10,
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
. The Company evaluates
long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and depreciable intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least
annually. If indicators of impairment exist and the undiscounted future cash flows that the assets are expected to generate are less than
the carrying value of the assets, the Company reduces the carrying amount of the assets to their estimated fair values based on a discounted
cash flow approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values. There were
| 5 |
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount:
| i. | Identification of the promised goods in the contract; |
| ii. | Determination of whether the promised goods are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; |
| iii. | Measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint of variable consideration; |
| iv. | Allocation of the transaction price of the performance obligations; and |
| v. | Recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. |
The performance obligation associated with a typical product sale will be satisfied upon delivery to customers, and the revenue will be recognized at that time. Payments are due on demand. The Company does not offer any warranty on its products; however, customers do receive a manufacturer’s warranty.
The Company's main revenue stream to date has been from the sale of distribution territories for its protein bars. The Company sells rights to distribute its protein bars and other products to outside parties and determines if the distribution agreement (“DA”) is a distinct (separate) performance obligation in accordance with ASC 606. If the DA is determined not to be distinct, the license is combined with the other goods or services and the combined performance obligation is accounted for using the general revenue recognition model outlined above. If the DA is determined to be distinct, the Company analyzes whether the DA is functional or symbolic to assess the timing of revenue recognition. The DA by the Company was determined to be a distinct performance obligation of symbolic intellectual property (“IP)”, which provides a right to access IP. ASC 606 states that revenue from licenses of IP deemed to provide a right to use IP will be recognized at a point in time when control is transferred.
In accordance with Topic 606, the Company analyzes the following to determine when to recognize DA revenue:
i. Whether the transaction represents a sale or licensing of intellectual property (IP),
ii. Whether the IP is a distinct performance obligation,
iii. The nature of the license - functional or symbolic; and
iv. The timing of recognition based on the nature of the license.
The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and represents services it transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606 at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligations when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. The Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligations when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, the Company's performance obligations are transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities when reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed. The Company follows ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”) and ASC 825, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.
Income Taxes
In accordance with ASC 740 Income Taxes , deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in Income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company has adopted the provisions set
forth in ASC 740 to account for uncertainty in income taxes. In the preparation of income tax returns in federal and state jurisdictions,
the Company asserts certain tax positions based on its understanding and interpretation of the income tax law. The taxing authorities
may challenge such positions, and the resolution of such matters could result in recognition of Income tax expense in the Company's financial
statements. Management believes it has used reasonable judgments and conclusions in the preparation of its income tax returns. The Company
uses the "more likely than not" criterion for recognizing the tax benefit of uncertain tax positions and to establish measurement
criteria for income tax benefits. The Company' s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income
tax expense. The Company had
The Company computes income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260 Earning Per Share , which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company does not have a complex capital structure requiring the computation of diluted earnings per share.
Advertising Expenses
The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising, marketing,
and public relations to expense as incurred. The Company has $
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the six months ended June 30, 2024 that are of significance or potential significance to the Company.
| 7 |
Note-3 - Commitments and Contingencies
During the normal course of business, the Company may be exposed to litigation. When the Company becomes aware of potential litigation, it evaluates the merits of the case in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies . The Company evaluates its exposure to the matter, possible legal or settlement strategies and the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome. If the Company determines that an unfavorable outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated, it establishes the necessary accruals. As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company is not aware of any contingent liabilities that should be reflected in the financial statements .
Note 4 - Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.

Note 5 - Subsequent Events
In accordance with ASC 855, Subsequent Events, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to June 30, 2024 to the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes to those statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results and timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed under the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. See the section titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” elsewhere in this prospectus.
Overview
We specialize in the development, manufacturing, and distribution of nutrient-rich foods, setting ourselves apart by integrating insect-based proteins into our products. Our primary business product line is marketed under the brand Universal Proteins (UP). Our current product line is based on protein bars. The company has plans for a secondary business focus to include pet foods, with a particular emphasis on developing, manufacturing, and distributing dog treats designed to alleviate pain.
In early 2022 we began formulating recipes using insect protein powder derived from crickets. Our CEO, Andrew Read, in collaboration with a nutritionist formulated two different recipes for preparation of the first protein bars. During this process we were able to narrow our primary protein source to cricket (Orthoptera) powder from ENTOMO FARMS, a Canadian Company that has supplied protein powder from crickets for over 10 years.
Following the initial development of our first bars, we conducted a taste test to finalize the ingredients. Subsequently, we initiated the process of partnering with a copacker/manufacturer. In March 2022, we visited the YouBar facility in Los Angeles, California, and enlisted their expertise to consult on and develop our initial two bars, also referred to as SKUs: Chocolate Almond and Peanut Butter and Fruit. YouBar has developed and manufactured protein bars since 2006 for Company's whose bars are sold in many well-known retail establishments such as Whole Food, Trader Joe's, Costco, Target, Amazon and GNS according to their website www.youbars.com.
The R&D collaboration with YouBar spanned almost a year to develop the first two flavors (SKUs). This comprehensive process involved testing various ingredient combinations for optimal taste, experimenting with baking or rolling techniques for the bars, and refining the product to facilitate mass production. Youbar sourced material for additional bar ingredients, such as: fruits, and flavors, all of which received subsequent approval by the Company.
Following the approval process, we progressed to the packaging development and manufacturing phase, which lasted approximately six months. Tradewinds was selective in the type of products and service providers it used for each aspect of packaging. Manufacturing and packaging of the two formulated SKUs was completed and shipped on December 4, 2023, at which time we received the first order which included 10,848 peanut butter fruit bars, and 10,764 chocolate almond bars. We have initiated online marketing and sales of the UP-protein bars however our main focus has been directed toward larger retail outlets and distributors such as Trader Joes and Costco and Coremark. We anticipate that it may take an uncertain amount of time to secure a sales order from larger retailers if it happens at all. In April of 2024 we entered into a purchase agreement with a smaller distributor for 1,040 cases of UP bars containing 12,480 bars for $24,960.
Raw materials used in the protein bars are generic to energy\protein bars sourced by Youbar. The availability of ingredients is subject to standard supply and demand for energy bars. Protein Cricket Powder protein is purchased from Entomo Farms a Company based out of Canada that has supplied protein powder from crickets for over 10 years. All ingredients required for the manufacturing of the bars are currently abundant.
| 9 |
Our UP Protein Bars are currently available for purchase on our website, UPProteins.com. We have initiated a marketing program directed at retail outlets using social media platforms, as mentioned in our Business Description on Page 12. We anticipate the completion of one more new SKUs for a bar by the end of the year 2024. The company has plans for a secondary business focus to include pet foods and has acquired a formula for developing, manufacturing, and distributing dog treats to alleviate pain. In addition, we plan to continue to market Distribution Rights to various territories. We also plan to continue to market the licensing rights for our formula for pain relief for dogs. However, there is no assurance that licensing rights or products can be sold sufficiently to assist with our operational plan. We anticipate raising capital through revenues from the sale of licensing rights or some form of debt or equity financing. At this time, we have no arrangements for any funding source.
We expect our operating expenses to significantly increase as we continue to develop additional product lines and establish a market for our current product line. We also expect to incur additional operating expenses as we begin operating as a public company. Our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, depending on the timing and scope of our marketing and our expenditures on other research and development activities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $30,425. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through revenue generated from operations, private placements of our securities and advances from our founder.
Management has prepared estimates of operations and believes it will have sufficient funds to fund our operations and to service our debt obligations for at least the next twelve months. We may, however, in the future require additional cash resources due to changing business conditions, implementation of our strategy to expand our business, or other investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our own financial resources are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company's financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experiences and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates.
