TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / April 12, 2023 / Sparta Group (TSXV:SAY)(OTC PINK:SCAXF) (the "Corporation", the "Company", "Sparta Group", "Sparta Capital", "SAY.V" or "Sparta") is announcing that it has released its financial results for the year ended September 30, 2022.

Highlights are as follows:

• Revenue growth of 15% compared to fiscal year 2021.
• Development of a certified Carbon Credit Program through our Environment division. A first in the e-waste upcycling/recycling space in North America.
• Commencement of a research project with partner uOttawa to look at ways to recover Lithium from spent Lithium -ion ("Li-ion") batteries, as demand for EV's soars.
• Expansion of our e-waste upcycling/recycling operations by establishing a processing facility in Oman. The first of its kind in this area of the Middle East.
• Along with partner Achu Health™ Sparta Group boosted its rapid testing program to provide workplaces with an easy and secure way to trace cases of illness. The authenticated testing protocol is backed by decentralized blockchain technology.
• Sparta's e-waste operation signed a deal with General Motors to discard the auto maker's electronic waste.

Progressing into Q1'2023, revenue grew to $2,168,064, a 61% increase compared to Q1 of the previous year. This was the first time the company surpassed $2 million in revenue for one quarter since 2019. Net income was $44,768 for Q1, compared to a net loss of $195,655 for Q1 of the previous year. Cash flow from operations was $140,495 for Q1, a 57% growth over the previous year's cash flow from operations of $89,754. Sparta's Environment division, and specifically the electronic waste operation, saw considerable progress in Q1. This included the launch of a verified carbon credit program to help customers achieve sustainability goals, as well as the opening of an e-waste upcycling operation in the Middle East. The Oman facility is the first of its kind in this region of the world and will handle a significant amount of waste, some of which the country has been stockpiling for years as government officials hoped for the right recycling operation to come along.

Sparta management are thrilled about that addition of the two new revenue streams (Carbon Credit program and Oman facility), and expect to reap the benefits in the months to come, especially as more companies shift their focus on sustainability from talk to action.
