Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

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 Revenue is recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Revenue from Contracts with Customers The Company acts as a principal in its revenue transactions as it is the primary obligor.

Website Development Costs The Company recognizes website development costs in accordance with ASC 350-50, “Accounting for Website Development Costs.” 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. 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.

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