The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2023 contained herein has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 2023, but do not include all disclosures required by the U.S. GAAP.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority ownedmajority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The third-party ownership of the Company’s subsidiary is accounted for as non-controllingnoncontrolling interest in the consolidated financial statements. Changes in the non-controllingnoncontrolling interest are reported in the statement of changes in deficit.

Estimates

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and the disclosures of revenues and expenses for the reportedsaid period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company adopted ASUA.S.U. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), using the cumulative-effect method. The new standard requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The adoption did not have an impact in our consolidated financial statements other than the enhancement ofenhancing our disclosures related to our revenue-generating activities.

The Company acts as a principal in its revenue transactions as the Companyit is the primary obligor in the transactions.obligor.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company has adopted ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements(“ (“ASC 820”).” ASC 820 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchyscale gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs to fair value measurements of certain assets and Liabilities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:

Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities, and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market, as well asand certain securities that are highly liquid and aresecurities actively traded in over-the-counter markets.

9

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model derivedmodel-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value measurements. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques based on significant unobservable inputs, as well as management judgments or estimates that are significant to the valuation.

This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data when available and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. ForObservable inputs may not always be available for some products or in certain market conditions, observable inputs may not always be available.conditions.

Income Taxes

We utilize ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at year-end based on enacted laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.

The Company recognizes the impact of a tax position in the financial statements only if that position is more likely than not of beingto be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Our practice is to recognizerecognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Stock BasedStock-Based Compensation

We account for our stock-based compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation – Compensation–Stock Compensation” using the fair value basedvalue-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award andaward. It is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges itits equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments, or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.instruments may settle that.

We use the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the Black-Scholes model for measuring theto measure options’ fair value of options.value. The stock basedstock-based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.

Inventories

The Company’s inventories represent finished goods, consistconsisting of products available for sale andproducts. They are accounted for using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method and valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory consists of finished goods for the Company’s New World Health business.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Minor additions and renewals are expensed in the year incurred. MajorSignificant additions and renewals are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. EstimatedThe estimated useful lives of majorsignificant depreciable assets are as follows:

SCHEDULE OF ESTIMATED USEFUL LIFE OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

  
Leasehold improvements3 years
Furniture and fixtures7 years
Website costs3 years
Computer Equipment5 years
Estimated Useful of Property and Equipment5 years

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with high credithigh-credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess ofmore than the FDIC insurance limit.

Net Loss Per Share

The Company uses ASC 260-10, “Earnings Per Share” for calculating the basic and diluted loss per share. The Company computes basic loss per share by dividing net loss and net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of net loss per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

As of July 31, 2023 and 2022, approximately 4,200,000 potential shares (including 1,979,157 shares to be issued on the balance sheet), respectively, were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would reduce net loss per share.

Derivative Liabilities

The Company assessed the classification of its derivative financial instruments as of JulyJanuary 31, 20232024, and April 30, 2024, which consist of convertible instruments and rights to shares of the Company’s common stock. It determined that such derivatives meet the criteria for liability classification under ASC 815.

ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as freestanding derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed conventional, as described.

Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with professional standards for “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”

These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as described.

Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with professional standards for “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with professional standards when “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features,” as those professional standards pertain to “Certain Convertible Instruments.” Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. ASC 815-40 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entity’s control could or require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform towith prior periods’ data to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect ondid not affect reported losses.

Recent Accounting PronouncementsPronouncements--

No recent pronouncements have been made or adopted in the quarter ended January 31, 2024. All of the pronouncements that affect our business have been adopted.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (Topic 842) “Leases.” Topic 842 supersedes the lease requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 840, “Leases.” Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases and provide enhanced disclosures. Leases will continue to be classified as either finance or operating. The Company adopted Topic 842 effective May 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective method and elected not to recognize leases with terms of 12 months or less. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, we have not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE B – GOING CONCERN MATTERS

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses and generated negative cash flows from operating activities since inception. As of JulyJanuary 31, 2023,2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $66,192,31766,880,291 and a working capital deficit (total current liabilities exceeded total current assets) of $9,610,04410,301,828. The Company’s cash balance and revenues generated are not currently sufficient and cannot be projected to cover its operating expenses for the next twelve months from the filing date of this report. These factors among others raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements.

The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations. Management is devoting substantially all of its efforts to developing its business and raising capital and there can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts will be successful. No assurance can be given that management’s actions will result in profitable operations or the resolution of its liquidity problems. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In order to improve the Company’s liquidity, the Company’s management is actively pursuing additional equity financing through discussions with investment bankers and private investors. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its effort to secure additional equity financing.

NOTE F – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company follows the guidanceguidelines established pursuantaccording to ASC 820, which established a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the amount that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., 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 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes the following three levels of inputs that may be used:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs when there is little or no market data available, thereby requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

From time to time, of course, we may become involved in furtherother legal proceedings, which sometimes arise due to the very nature of and in the ordinary course of this business.

 

By way of background, the Company had received notices dated April 1, 2016, and May 13, 2016, and July 22, 2016, from a lendertwo lenders claiming defaults relating to conversion requests totalingof $8,365.00 in principal plus interest, attorney fees, and $5,000.00 in principal plus interest also seeking stock conversions aside from the stated principal and interest concerning the notes in the total amountamounts of $55,125.00 and $27,500.00, respectively, which the Company hadhas declined to process and believes it has valid, meritorious defenses in that regard. The Company believes these claims are contingent and unliquidated and disputeddisputes the same. While there can be no absolute assurances that the Company willwould prevail in theany potential litigation concerning allegations brought against the Company, these potential liabilities have been recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

ConcerningFor the above claims, on September 22, 2016, a motion for summary judgment in lieuinstead of complaint was filed in the Supreme Court in the State of New York: County of Kings against the Company by a lender for the amount of $102,170.82 in principal and stock conversion interest, plus fees and costs. Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment in lieuinstead of complaint was denied on May 5, 2017. Thereafter, onOn August 22, 2018, Plaintiff brought a second motion seeking summary judgment on the liability issue, which again was denied by the Court on March 14, 2019. The most recent appearance in this matter had been scheduled for March 13, 2020, at which time the Court marked the case “adjourned without a date” due to the restrictions imposed on the Courts arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, no further Court appearances have been scheduled in this matter. However, most notably, a favorable decision from the New York State Court of Appeals regarding the same types of transactions has since been determined such notes to be criminally usurious and, therefore, unenforceable. Since identical affirmativeunenforceable management believes. These were the very same defenses were raised on behalf of the Company, the pending action is expected to be discontinued by plaintiff, with prejudice. Counsel forCompany. On December 14, 2023 a Stipulation of Discontinuance was filed in New York State Supreme Court: Kings County wherein the parties have been working on a stipulationagreed to the discontinuance of discontinuance to that effect.

On October 26, 2018, a second lender commenced an action inany and all claims against the Supreme Court of the State of New York: New York County alleging damages from unpaid principal arising from a promissory note dated February 26, 2015, in the amount of $50,000.00 plus damages including interestother with prejudice and stock conversions, costswith full waivers and fees. The Company disputed the enforceability of such claims for similar reasons, as stated above, based on the Court of Appeals ruling regarding the unenforceable nature of such claims demanding usurious interest rates. On November 9, 2022 the court rendered a decision on the cross motions for summary judgment in favor of the Company granting full dismissal of all causes of action and awarded costs in favor of the Company. The time within which for plaintiff to appeal the decision has since expired. As such, the claimreleases. Therefore, this matter has been fully resolved.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of JulyJanuary 31, 2023,2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $66,192,317 and an operating loss$66,880,291. The net cash flow used by operations was $522,508 for the threenine months of $41,460. We generated a deficit in cash flow from operations of $65,518 for the three months ended Julyending January 31, 2023.2024. This deficit results primarily from our net loss of $38,751, offset by a gain$721,240 with loss in fair value valuation of derivative liabilities of $94,224, non-financing cost of $2,268 and an increase of $69,095$332,812 as the significant item in accounts payables and accrued expenses.our cash flow.

 

We met our cash requirements during the period through proceeds from the saleissuance of stock $105,000, promissoryfor a total of $293,000, proceeds from notes payable for a net total of $6,975 and bank overdraft $13,523.$254,000 of Promissory notes to equity.

 

We do not anticipate incurring significantminimal research and development expenditures and we do not anticipateor expect the sale or acquisition of any significant property, plant, or equipment during the next twelve months. At JulyOn January 31, 2023,2024, we had 6five full-time employees, 1three part-time employees, and 2 full-time consultants.one intern. If we fully implement our business plan, we anticipate our employment base may increase during the next twelve months. As we continue to expand, we will incur additional costcosts for personnel. This potential increase in personnel is dependent upon our generating increased revenues and obtaining sources of financing. There is no guarantee thatWe are still determining if we will be successful in raisingsuccessfully raise the necessary funds required or generatinggenerate revenues sufficient to fund the potential increase in the number of employees. Our employees areA union does not represented by a union.represent our employees.

 

While we have raised capital to meet our working capital and financing needs in the past, additional financing is required in order to meet our current and potential future cash flow deficits from operations.

 

We continue to seek additional financing, which may bewhether in the form of senior debt, subordinated debt, or equity. We currently have no commitments for financing that are not at the investor’s election. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in raising thesuccessfully raise funds required to support our operations.

 

We estimate that we will need approximately $1,000,000 in addition to our normal operating cash flow to conduct operations during the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that additional private or public financing, including debt or equity financing, will be available as needed or, if available, on terms favorable to us. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders and suchstockholders. Such additional equity securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges that are senior to those of our existing common or preferred stock. Furthermore, if available, debt financing if available, will require the payment of interest andinterest. However, it may involve restrictive covenants that could impose limitations onlimiting our operating flexibility. However,flexibility if we are not successful in generatingcannot generate sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficientraise enough capital resources on terms acceptable to us,terms. In that case, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity, and financial condition, and we will have tocondition. We must adjust our planned operations and development on a more limited scale.

 

The effect of inflation on our revenue and operating results was not significant. Our operations are located in North America, and there are no seasonal aspects that would have a material effectimpact on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

20

GOING CONCERN ISSUES

The Company’s historical losses and the lack of revenues raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot assure that our business operations will develop and provide us with significant cash to continue operations. If we are unable to developcannot build our business, we have to discontinue operations or cease to exist, which would be detrimental to the value of the Company’s common stock. We can make no assurances that our business operations will develop and provide us with significant cash to continue operations.

 

19

In order toTo improve the Company’s liquidity, the Company’s management is actively pursuing additional financing through discussions with investment bankers, financial institutions, and private investors. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its effort to secure additional financing.

 

We continue to experience net operating losses. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to develop profitable operations. We are devoting substantially all of our efforts to developinggrowing our business and raising capital. Our net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such goals, and there can be no assurancesassurance that such methods will prove successful.

 

The primary issues management will focus on in the immediate future to address this matter include: seeking additional credit facilities from institutional lenders; seekinglenders, institutional investors for debt or equity investments in our Company; short termCompany, short-term interim debt financing: and private placements of debt and equity securities with accredited investors.

 

To address these issues, we have engaged a financial advisory firm to advise and assist us in negotiating and raising capital.

 

INFLATION

The impact of inflation on the costs of the Company and the ability to pass on cost increases to its customers over time is dependent upon market conditions. The Company is not aware of any inflationary pressures that have had any significant impact on the Company’s operations over the past quarter, and the Company does not anticipate that inflationary factors will have a significant impactsubstantial effect on future operations.

 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company does not maintain off-balance sheet arrangements nor does itor participate in non-exchange traded contracts requiring fair value accounting treatment.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. While there are a number ofseveral significant accounting policies affectingaffect our financial statements, we believe the following critical accounting policy involves the most complex, difficult, and subjective estimates and judgments.

 

Revenue RecognitionRecognition

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), using the cumulative-effect method. The new standard requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The adoption did not have an impact in our consolidated financial statements other than the enhancement of our disclosures related to our revenue-generating activities.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification Topic 718(“ (“ASC 718-10”), which records compensation expense on a straight-line basis, generally over the explicit service period of three to five years.

 

ASC 718-10 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the grant date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company is using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of valuation for share-based awards. The Company’s determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number ofseveral highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the awards term of the awards, and certain other market variables, such as the risk freerisk-free interest rate.

 

Inventories

Inventory comprises finished goods for the Company’s New World Health Brands business. The Company’s inventories represent finished goods, consistconsisting of products available for sale andsale. They are accounted for using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method and valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory consists of finished goods for the Company’s New World Health Brands business.

 

Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with professional standards for “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“ASC 815-40”).

 

22

ASC 815-40 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entity’s control and could or require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability. The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with professional standards when “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features,” as those professional standards pertain to “Certain Convertible Instruments.” Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based uponon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records, when necessary, deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the underlying common stock’s fair value of the underlying common stock at the note transaction’s commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. ASC 815-40 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not withinDebt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the entity’s control could or require net cash settlement, thenterm of the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.related debt to their earliest redemption date.

 

21

Derivative Liabilities

Derivative Liabilities

ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as freestanding derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as described.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We carried out an evaluation, underUnder the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, ofwe evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of JulyJanuary 31, 2023.2024. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation ofevaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2023January 31, 2024, using the criteria established in the Internal Control—IntegratedControl-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness yet importantnecessary enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the Company’s financial reporting. In our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2023,January 31, 2024, we determined that control deficiencies existed that constituted material weaknesses, as described below:

 

lack of documented policies and procedures;
we have no audit committee;
there is a risk of management override given that our officers have a high degree of involvement in our day-to-day operations;
there is no effective separation of duties, which includes monitoring controls, between the members of management.

● lack of documented policies and procedures;

● we have no audit committee;

● there is a risk of management override, given that our officers have a high degree of involvement in our day-to-day operations;

● there is no effective separation of duties, which includes monitoring controls, between the members of management.

 

22

Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. As a result, we have not been able to take stepsunable to improve our internal controls over financial reporting during the year ended April 30, 2023.ending January 31, 2024. However, to the extent possible, we will implement procedures to assureensure that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets, and the recording of transactions will be performed by separate individuals. Management is currently evaluating whatthe steps can be taken in order to address these material weaknesses.

 

Accordingly, we concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by our internal controls.

 

As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of JulyJanuary 31, 20232024, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Control Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

 

In light of these significant deficiencies, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our consolidated financial statements for the year ended July 31,April 30, 2023, included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, were fairly stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our significant deficiency, our consolidated financial statements for the threenine months ended JulyJanuary 31, 20232024, are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit a smaller reporting company to provide only management’s report in its annual report.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As of JulyJanuary 31, 2023,2024, we have not been named as parties to any further legal proceedings. The two litigationsproceedings except those disclosed prior areand updated below. From time to time, of course, we may become involved in furtherother legal proceedings, which sometimes arise due to the very nature of and in the ordinary course of this business.

 

By way of background, the Company had received notices dated April 1, 2016, and May 13, 2016, and July 22, 2016, from a lendertwo lenders claiming defaults relating to conversion requests totalingof $8,365.00 in principal plus interest, attorney fees, and $5,000.00 in principal plus interest also seeking stock conversions aside from the stated principal and interest concerning the notes in the total amountamounts of $55,125.00 and $27,500.00, respectively, which the Company hadhas declined to process and believes it has valid, meritorious defenses in that regard. The Company believes these claims are contingent and unliquidated and disputeddisputes the same. While there can be no absolute assurances that the Company willwould prevail in theany potential litigation concerning allegations brought against the Company, these potential liabilities have been recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Concerning the above claims, on September 22, 2016, a motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint was filed in the Supreme Court in the State of New York: County of Kings against the Company by a lender for the amount of $102,170.82 in principal and stock conversion interest, plus fees and costs. Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint was denied on May 5, 2017. Thereafter, onOn August 22, 2018, Plaintiff brought a second motion seeking summary judgment on the liability issue, which again was denied by the Court on March 14, 2019. The most recent appearance in this matter had been scheduled for March 13, 2020, at which time the Court marked the case “adjourned without a date” due to the restrictions imposed on the Courts arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, no further Court appearances have been scheduled in this matter. However, most notably, a favorable decision from the New York State Court of Appeals regarding the same types of transactions has since been determined such notes to be criminally usurious and, therefore, unenforceable. Since identical affirmativeunenforceable management believes. These were the very same defenses were raised on behalf of the Company, the pending action is expected to be discontinued by plaintiff, with prejudice. Counsel for the parties have been working on a stipulation of discontinuance to that effect.Company.

On October 26, 2018, a second lender commenced an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York: New York County alleging damages from unpaid principal arising from a promissory note dated February 26, 2015, in the amount of $50,000.00 plus damages including interest and stock conversions, costs and fees. The Company disputed the enforceability of such claims for similar reasons, as stated above, based on the Court of Appeals ruling regarding the unenforceable nature of such claims demanding usurious interest rates. On November 9, 2022 the court rendered a decision on the cross motions for summary judgment in favor of the Company granting full dismissal of all causes of action and awarded costs in favor of the Company. The time within which for plaintiff to appeal the decision has since expired. As such, the claim has been fully resolved.
