Sparta Surgical Corporation
Notes to the Financial Statement
Note 1. Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Sparta Surgical Corporation, (the "Company"), a non-operating public company
since May 2002, was incorporated in Delaware on March 23, 1984. The Company was
engaged in the research, development, manufacturing and marketing of surgical
and electrotherapy products for the worldwide healthcare industry. In May 2002,
the Company divested substantially all of its assets and ceased operations. As a
result, the Company retained no assets after ceasing operations, and has
performed only administrative duties as a transitory, or shell, corporation.
Since May 2002, the Company has sought to acquire a new business opportunity. In
September 2006, the Company was appointed as an exclusive independent sales
representative to market certain surgical instruments and disposable devices. In
addition, the Company's affiliate was appointed to market exclusively certain
electrotherapy devices and accessories. Accordingly, the Company and its
affiliate intends to utilize this new relationship to form a basis for its
future activities and attempt to produce income. However, there can be no
assurance that the Company and its affiliate will succeed with this new business
strategy and or produce any future income.
On November 6, 2006, the Company filed a Voluntary Petition for relief under
Chapter 11 of the United States Code Bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy
Court in the state of Colorado in order to facilitate the restructuring of our
debt, trade payables, and other obligations. On the Petition date, the Company
filed its proposed Plan of Reorganization (the"Plan") and accompanying
Disclosure Statement, the ("Disclosure") and throughout the bankruptcy
proceedings the Company will continue to operate the business and manage the
properties as "debtors-in-possession" and the Company is authorized under
Chapter 11 to continue to operate as an ongoing business, but may not engage in
transaction outside the ordinary course of business without the prior approval
of the Bankruptcy Court.
On December 19, 2006, the Court denied confirmation of the Plan and the final
approval of the Disclosure. On December 27, 2006, the Company filed a Notice of
Appeal on the basis of : (i) the Bankruptcy Court erred in Denying Final
Approval of Disclosure and Plan, (ii) the Bankruptcy Court findings of the facts
constituted an abuse of discretion, and (iii) that all classes under the Plan
voted to accept the Plan. We put on evidence establishing the Plan and
Disclosure satisfied all the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code 1129(a). On
August 21, 2007, A Bruce Campbell, United States Bankruptcy Judge, issued an
order to recuse himself from hearing this case. As of January 9, 2008, the
District Court of Appeals has not yet ruled on our Notice of Appeal.

In June 2002 and March 2004, the Company issued to LKDTBJP Living Trust, (the
"Living Trust"), various Convertible Secured Promissory Notes, (the "Convertible
Notes") in the amount of $380,286 for assuming certain of the Company's debt and
notes payable. The Convertible Notes, both principal and accrued interest, were
due on June 15, 2006 and May 17, 2006, at 6% interest per annum. On May 12,
2006, Living Trust agreed to extend payments on both principal and accrued
interest under the Convertible Notes until February 28, 2008. At the option of
the Living Trust, the Convertible Notes are convertible at any time into
15,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
In September 2005, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit Facility
Agreement (the "Agreement"), by and between Gary A. Agron (the "Agron") and
Living Trust (collectively the "Lender"). This Agreement allows the Company to
borrow up to $100,000 with interest charged at 6.0% per annum, and both
principal and accrued interest is due on February 28, 2008. The Company further
agreed not to issue any additional equity or any other type of security without
the written consent of the Lender. In consideration of the Lender providing a
revolving credit, the Company has agreed to issue each of Agron and Living Trust
46,269,023 shares for a total of 92,538,046 shares of the Company's Common Stock
(the "Loan Shares"). Subsequently, on October 6, 2006, the Agreement was amended
to issue a total of 10,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The Company
has valued these shares at approximately $1,000.
The Company further acknowledged that it currently does not have sufficient
shares of common stock authorized for the issuance of the Loan Shares, however,
the Company shall take all reasonable actions necessary, including the holding
of a shareholder meeting to amend the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to
authorize shares of the Company's common stock so that Loan Shares may be
issued.
In September 2005, the Company did not have sufficient funds to pay Allan J.
Korn, its President, for his past services. Therefore the Company authorized
issuance of 5,443,415 shares of its Common Stock valued at $544.34 to Mr. Korn,
who has acted as the Company's sole officer and director without compensation
for the past four years. Subsequently, the Company and Mr. Korn agreed to reduce
the number of shares to 50,000. In November 2006, the Company's affiliate did
not have sufficient funds to pay Mr. Korn for assuming the position of
President, sole officer and director. Therefore, the affiliate agreed to
authorize to issue 25,000 shares of its Common Stock to Mr. Korn.
In November 2006, the Company's affiliate entered into a $100,000 Credit
Facility Agreement by and between the Lender. Under the agreement, the interest
charged is 6% per annum, and both principal and accrued interest is due on
February 28,2008. The affiliate authorized to issue 420,000 shares of its Common
Stock to the Lender valued at approximately $84.

Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no significant changes in Company's significant accounting
policies during the six months ended August 31, 2007 as compared to what was
previously disclosed.
Income Taxes
No provision for federal and state income taxes has been recorded as the Company
has incurred net operating losses through August 31, 2007. The Company believes
sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the realizability of the deferred tax
assets such that a full valuation allowance is required, leaving a net deferred
tax asset of $-0-. The Company also has net operating loss carryforwards for tax
reporting periods. The Company retained no assets after ceasing operations on
May 2, 2002, and has performed only administrative duties as a transitory, or
shell, corporation. The Company seeks to merge with an operating company and
does not believe net operating loss carryforwards will be available to offset
future taxable income after such merger.
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Common Shares
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Boards ("FASB") No. 128, basic
earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the number of weighted
average common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is
computed by dividing net income by the number of weighted average common shares
outstanding during the year. For the three and six months ended August 31, 2007
and 2006 there is no difference between the basic and diluted loss per share, as
there were no dilutive stock options.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when commissions are earned under the Exclusive
Sales Representative Agreement. Provision for allowances, and other adjustments
are provided for in the same period the related revenues are recorded.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not
be recovered. The Company looks primarily to the undiscounted future cash flows
in its assessment of whether or not long-lived assets have been impaired.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") released Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year
Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial
Statements," ("SAB No. 108"). SAB No. 108, which is effective for fiscal years
ending after November 15, 2006, provides guidance on how the effects of prior
year uncorrected misstatements, previously deemed to be immaterial, must be
considered and adjusted during the current year. The Company does not anticipate
that the adoption of SAB 108 will have a material effect on its statements of
operations in future periods.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America require management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expense during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates carrying
value due to the short-term nature of such instruments. The fair value of debt
obligations with related parties and individuals is not determinable due to the
terms of the debt and there is no comparable market for such debt.
7
Concentration of Credit Risk
There are no financial statements that potentially subject the Company to
significant concentrations of credit risk.
Note 2 - Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of
liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Financial Statements have
also been prepared in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants ("AICPA") Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting by
Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code ("SOP 90-7"). Accordingly,
all pre-bankruptcy petition ("pre-petition") liabilities believed to be subject
to compromise have been segregated in the Balance Sheet (the"Balance Sheet") and
classified as "liabilities subject to compromise" at the estimated amount of
allowable claim under the Chapter 11 cases. Liabilities not believed subject to
compromise in the bankruptcy proceedings are separately classified as "current"
and "non-current" as appropriate. Expenses (including professional fees)
realized gain and losses, and the provisions for losses resulting from
reorganization are reported only to the extent that is to be paid during the
Chapter 11 case.
On November 6, 2006, the Company filed a Voluntary Petition for relief under
Chapter 11 in order to facilitate the restructuring of debt, trade payables, and
other obligations.
During 2001 and 2002, the Company entered into and completed an agreement to
sell all of its operating assets.
In September 2005, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit Facility. This
Revolving Credit Facility allows the Company to borrow up to $100,000 with
interest charged at 6.0% per annum.
The Company intends to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with an
agreeable party, at which point the Company will merge with that company.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will finalize any agreement
and/or plan of merger in the near future.
In November 2006, the Company and its affiliate filed for relief under Chapter
11 of the Bankruptcy Court in the District of Colorado.

Item 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We are a non-operating public company with no current revenues as we divested
substantially all of our assets and ceased operations in May 2002. In recent
years we have experienced losses from operations and continue to suffer from a
deficiency in available working capital. Except for the historical information
contained herein the matters set forth in this report are forward-looking
statements within the meaning of "safe harbor" provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are
subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ
materially. These risks are detailed from time to time in our periodic reports
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report
on Form 10- KSB, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB and other periodic filings.
These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. We disclaim
any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
These statements relate to future events in future financial performance and
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factor's that may cause
our or our industry's actual results, performance or achievements to be
materially different from these expressed or implied by any forward-looking
11
statements. All of these matters are difficult or impossible to predict
accurately and may be beyond our control. Although we believe that the
assumptions underlying our forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the
assumptions could be inaccurate, therefore, there can be no assurance that the
forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-QSB will prove to be
accurate. The following discussions should be read in conjunction with the
unaudited Financial Statements and notes thereto, appearing elsewhere herein.
Risk Factors Affecting Future Operating Results
The following important factors, among others, could cause actual results to
differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements in this
Form 10-QSB, or presented elsewhere by management from time to time. We wish to
caution stockholders and investors that the following important factors, among
others, in some cases have affected, and in the future could affect our actual
results and could cause our actual results to differ materially, from those
expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us. These statements under
this caption are intended to serve as cautionary statements within the scope of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The following information
is not intended to limit in any way the characterization of other statements or
information under other caption as cautionary statements for such purpose. These
factors could have a material adverse effect on our non-operating business,
operating results and financial condition. Our results of operations vary
significantly from year to year and from quarter to quarter. We have incurred
net losses in prior years and can't assure future profitability. At August 31,
2007, our accumulated deficit was approximately $15,785,989.
The following are important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements made by or
on behalf of us.
We have incurred significant operating losses and will not be profitable in the
future as the Company has experienced circumstances which raise substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
We have discontinued all of our operations since May 2002, as we divested
substantially of our operating assets. We have incurred approximately
$15,785,989 in cumulative net losses from inception.
There is no significant trading market for our common stock.
Our common stock is not eligible for trading on any national or regional
exchange as we were delisted from the OTC Bulletin Board on July 2001. Our
common stock has no trading activity on the non NASDAQ Other OTC (Pink Sheet
unqualified) pursuant to Rule 15c2- 1 1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
12
Because our common stock is classified as "penny stock", trading is limited and
the common stock price declined to virtually no value and therefore is very
difficult to sell.
Because our common stock falls under the definition of "penny stock", the
trading in our common stock is limited because broker-dealers are required to
provide their customers with disclosure documents prior to allowing them to
participate in transactions involving our common stock.
We do not anticipate paying dividends.
We have not paid any cash dividend on our common stock since our inception and
we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future and since
2001 we have not paid any dividends to the holders of the Company's preferred
stocks.
One of our current stockholders has significant influence over our management
and directors and may take actions that may not be in the best interest of other
stockholders.
Our co-founder beneficially owns approximately 66% of our common stock.
Therefore, he will be able, among other things, to elect directors.
We filed Chapter 11.
We filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 in the District Court of
Colorado.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended August 31, 2007 as Compared to Three Months Ended August 31,
2006.
We had $1,436 in revenues for the Three Months Ended August 31, 2007 ("Second
Quarter Ended Fiscal 2008") and no revenues for the Three Months Ended August
31, 2006 ("Second Quarter Ended Fiscal 2007") due to the Company divesting
substantially all of its assets and as a result ceasing operations on May 2,
2002. The increase in revenues is attributed to the Company generating sales

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, we have been undercapitalized and have experienced financial
difficulties. Our primary sources of working capital have been revenues from
operations, bank and private party loans and proceeds from the sale of
securities. Many of the bank and private party loans and certain of our other
obligations have required personal guarantees in order to continue to operate
our business. In May 2002, the Company divested substantially all of its assets
and ceased operations, and has performed only administrative duties as a
14
transitory, or shell, corporation through August 31, 2007. Subsequently, on
October 2007, the Company started to generate revenues on earned commission
sales in connection with the Company being appointed as an exclusive independent
sales representative for certain medical and disposable product line. Our
working capital at August 31, 2007 was negative in deficit.
In June 15, 2002, and March 2004, we issued various convertible secured
promissory notes (the "Notes") to LKDTBJP Living Trust, (the "Living Trust") in
the aggregate amount of $380,286 for assuming certain of our trade and notes
payable. The terms of the Notes are that both of the principal and accrued
interest are due on February 28, 2008. The Notes carry a 6% interest per annum.
The Notes are convertible at any time into 15,000,000 shares of the Company's
common stock at the option of the Living Trust.. The value of these shares is
approximately $1,500.
In September 5, 2005, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit Facility
Agreement (the"Agreement"), by and between Gary A Agron and LKDTBJP Living
Trust, (collectively (the "Lender"). This Agreement allows the Company to borrow
up to $100,000 with interest charged at 6.0% per annum, and both principal and
accrued interest is due on February 28, 2008. The Company further agreed not to
issue any additional equity or any other type of security without the written
consent of the Lender. In consideration of the Lender providing this Agreement,
the Company has agreed to issue each of Agron and LKDTBJP Living Trust
46,269,023 shares of its Common Stock. On October 6, 2006, the Agreement was
amended to issue a total of 10,000,000 shares of its Common Stock to the Lender.
The value of these shares is approximately $1,000.
