Answer 1

You can also fetch record by using following method: put values in an array e.g. $arr=array(1,2);

 $res = $this->Model->find('all', array(                      
        'conditions' =>array('Model.filedname'=>$arr),
        'model.id' => 'desc'
  ));

I hope you will find answer.

Answer 2

I'm not sure to have understood what results you expect. If you want to retrieve all records having status = 0, plus let's say the one having status = 3, you could use an 'IN' instead of an 'OR'.

In Cake, you would write it like this:

$status = 3;
$conditions = array('Company.status' => array(0, $status));

Answer 3

Try

'Company' => array (
    'conditions' =>  array (
        'OR' => array(
            array('Company.status' => 0),
            array('Company.status' => $status),
        )

    )
)

In the cookbook it says to wrap the or conditions in arrays if they are pertaining to the same field http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/models/retrieving-your-data.html#complex-find-conditions
