Company management recognized the substantial business opportunity in the rapidly expanding hemp-CBD (cannabidiol) market in the United States. Sparta created its subsidiary, New World Health Brands, Inc., in April 2019, on the heels of the Agriculture Improvement Act (also known as the Farm Bill), signed into law last December 20, 2018. Consequently, regulators removed hemp (CBD) from Schedule 1 of the Controlled Substances Act. During 2019-2020, we sourced, developed, and tested 5 CBD product categories totaling 31 products. We procured premium, domestic-grade, full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, and THC-free hemp, created product packaging and labeling, and implemented fulfillment to launch an online Business-to-Consumer (“B to C”) website: www.newworldhealthcbd.com Sparta’s response to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 quickly took shape with thorough investigations into evolving customer trends in health and wellness.

Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of January 31, 2023, and for the nine months ended January 31, 2023, and 2022 have been prepared by the Company according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present the operating results for the respective periods fairly. Certain information and footnote disclosures usually present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted under such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures provided are adequate to make the information presented accurate. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and explanatory notes for the year ended April 30, 2022, as disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for that year as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 15, 2022. The results of operations for the nine months ended January 31, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year ending April 30, 2023. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2022, contained herein has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 2022, but does 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-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 noncontrolling interest in the consolidated financial statements. Changes in the noncontrolling 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 said period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition During the first quarter of 2018, the Company adopted A.S.U. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) The Company acts as a principal in its revenue transactions as it is the primary obligor. SCHEDULE OF DISAGGREGATION REVENUE 3-months ended 9-months ended Revenue Jan 2023 Jan 2022 (Adjusted) Jan 2023 Jan 2022 Information technology $ 60,120 $ 56,134 $ 173,559 $ 168,933 New World Health $ 3,550 $ 4,586 $ 15,483 $ 18,170 Total 63,670 60,720 189,042 187,103 Revenues from mobile app products and New World Health Brands products are generally recognized upon delivery. Revenues from History Reports are typically recognized upon delivery/download. Prepayments received from customers before delivery (if any) are recognized as deferred revenue and recognized upon delivery. The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received or due before our performance, including refundable amounts. Cash Equivalents All liquid investments with three months or less maturity are cash equivalents for the accompanying financial statements. Fair Value Measurements The Company has adopted ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements .” ● Level 1 — ● Level 2 — ● Level 3 — This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data when available and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. Observable inputs may not always be available for some products or in certain market conditions. Income Taxes We utilize ASC 740, “ Income Taxes The Company recognizes the impact of a position in the financial statements only if that position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Our practice recognizes interest or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. Stock-Based Compensation We account for our stock-based compensation under ASC 718 “ Compensation–Stock Compensation We use the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and the Black-Scholes model to measure options’ fair value. The stock-based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or 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, consisting of available products. 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. Significant 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. The estimated useful lives of significant depreciable assets are as follows: SCHEDULE OF ESTIMATED USEFUL LIFE OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Leasehold improvements 3 years Furniture and fixtures 7 years Website costs 3 years Computer Equipment 5 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-credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be more than the FDIC insurance limit. Net Loss Per Share The Company uses ASC 260-10, “ Earnings Per Share As of January 31, 2023, and April 30, 2022, approximately 32,350,243 23,333,438 8,916,805 Derivative Liabilities The Company assessed the classification of its derivative financial instruments as of January 31, 2023, and April 30, 2022, 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 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 Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to conform with prior periods’ data to the current presentation. These reclassifications did not affect reported losses. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 Leases Leases Standard-setting organizations and various regulatory agencies are currently studying multiple proposed or potential accounting standards. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, we have yet to determine whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to our consolidated financial statements and other disclosures as included in the footnotes to the financial statements. |
