ETHEMA HEALTH CORPORATION

 

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Nature of business

 

Ethema Health Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Colorado, USA, on April 1, 1993. Effective April 4, 2017, the Company changed its name to Ethema Health Corporation and prior to that, on May 2012, the Company had changed its name to GreeneStone Healthcare Corporation from Nova Natural Resources Corporation. As of December 31, 2017, the Company owned 100% of the outstanding shares of GreeneStone Clinic Muskoka Inc., incorporated in 2010 under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada; Cranberry Cove Holdings Ltd., incorporated on January 9, 2004 under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada; Addiction Recovery Institute of America (“ARIA”) (formerly Seastone Delray Healthcare, LLC), incorporated on May 17, 2016 under the laws of Florida, USA; and Delray Andrews RE, LLC, incorporated on May 17, 2016 under the laws of Florida, USA.

 

During December 2016, the Company obtained a license to operate and provide addiction treatment healthcare services in Florida, USA. The company commenced operations under this license with effect from January 2017.

 

On February 14, 2017, the Company completed a series of transactions (referred to collectively as the “Restructuring Transactions”), including a Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) whereby the Company acquired 100% of the stock of CCH, which holds the real estate on which the Company previously operated a rehabilitation clinic (“the Canadian Rehab Clinic”). The Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) and lease (the “Lease”) whereby the Company sold all of the Canadian Rehab Clinic business assets and leased the real estate to the buyer. Simultaneously with this transaction, the Company entered into a Real Estate Purchase agreement and Asset Purchase Agreement whereby the Company purchased the real estate and business assets of Seastone Delray (the “Florida Purchase”).

 

The Share Purchase Agreement

Under the SPA, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of CCH from Leon Developments Ltd. (“Leon Developments”), a company wholly owned by Shawn E. Leon, who is the President, CEO, and CFO of the Company (“Mr. Leon”). CCH owns the real estate on which the Canadian Rehab Clinic is located. The total consideration paid by the Company was CDN$3,517,062, including the assumption of certain liabilities of CCH, which was funded by the assignment to Leon Developments of certain indebtedness owing to the Company in the amount of CDN$659,918, and the issuance of 60,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Leon Developments, valued at US$0.0364 per share.

 

The Asset Purchase Agreement and Lease

Under the APA, the assets of the Canadian Rehab Clinic were sold by the Company, through its subsidiary, GreeneStone Clinic Muskoka Inc. (“Muskoka”), to Canadian Addiction Residential Treatment LP (the “Purchaser”), for a total consideration of CDN$10,000,000, plus an additional payment of up to CDN$3,000,000 as a performance payment to be received in 2019 if certain clinic performance metrics are met. The Purchaser completed the sale with cash proceeds to the Company of CDN$10,000,000, of which CDN$1,500,000 was to remain in escrow for up to two years to cover indemnities given by the Company. The proceeds of the Muskoka clinic asset sale were used to pay down certain tax debts and operational costs of the Company and to fund the Florida Purchase, mentioned below.

 

Through the APA, substantially all of the assets of the Canadian Rehab Clinic were sold, leaving Ethema with only the underlying clinic real estate, which the Company, through its newly acquired subsidiary, CCH, concurrently leased to the Purchaser. The Lease is a triple net lease and provides for a five (5) year primary term with three (3) five-year renewal options, annual base rent for the first year at CDN$420,000 with annual increases, an option to tenant to purchase the leased premises and certain first refusal rights.

 

The Florida Purchase

Immediately after closing on the sale of the assets of the Canadian Rehab Clinic, the Company closed on the acquisition of the real estate assets of Seastone Delray pursuant to certain real estate and asset purchase agreements The purchase price for the Seastone assets was US$6,070,000 financed with a purchase money mortgage of US$3,000,000, and US$3,070,000 in cash.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

 

Basis of presentation

 

The (a) unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2019, which have been derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and as of December 31, 2018, which have been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and (b) the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows of the Company, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 22, 2019.

 

All amounts referred to in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are in United States Dollars ($) unless stated otherwise.

 

  a) Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

  b) Principles of consolidation and foreign currency translation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries functional currency is the Canadian dollar, while the Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. All transactions initiated in Canadian dollars are translated into US dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Translation” as follows:

 

  Monetary assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date.

 

  Equity at historical rates.

 

  Revenue and expense items and cash flows at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period.

 

Adjustments arising from such translations are deferred until realization and are included as a separate component of stockholders’ deficit as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Therefore, translation adjustments are not included in determining net income (loss) but reported as other comprehensive income (loss).

 

For foreign currency transactions, the Company translates these amounts to the Company’s functional currency at the exchange rate effective on the invoice date. If the exchange rate changes between the time of purchase and the time actual payment is made, a foreign exchange transaction gain or loss results which is included in determining net income for the period.

 

The relevant translation rates are as follows: For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a closing rate of CDN$1.00 equals US$0.7551 and an average exchange rate of CDN$1.00 equals US$0.7523. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a closing rate of CAD$1.00 equals US$0.7725 and an average exchange rate of CAD$1.0000 equals US$0.7651.

  c) Revenue Recognition

 

ASU 2014-09 requires companies to exercise more judgment and recognize revenue using a five-step process. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective method for all contracts effective January 1, 2018. Modified retrospective adoption requires entities to apply the standard retrospectively to the most current period presented in the financial statements, requiring the cumulative effect of the retrospective application as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of initial application. Prior periods have not been adjusted. No cumulative effect adjustment in retained earnings was recorded as the adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not significantly impact the Company’s reported historical revenue.

 

As a result of certain changes required by ASU 2014-09, the majority of the Company’s provision for doubtful accounts are recorded as a direct reduction to revenue instead of being presented as a separate line item on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 has no impact on the Company’s accounts receivable as it was historically recorded net of allowance for doubtful accounts and contractual adjustments, and the Company has eliminated the presentation of allowance for doubtful accounts on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

As our performance obligations relate to contracts with a duration of one year or less, the Company elected the optional exemption in ASC 606-10-50-14(a). Therefore, the Company is not required to disclose the transaction price for the remaining performance obligations at the end of the reporting period or when the Company expects to recognize the revenue. The Company has minimal unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of the reporting period as our patients typically are under no obligation to remain admitted in our facilities.

 

The Company receives payments from the following sources for services rendered in our U.S. Facility: (i) commercial insurers; and (ii) individual patients and clients. As the period between the time of service and time of payment is typically one year or less, the Company elected the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-32-18 and did not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component.

 

The Company derives a significant portion of its revenue from other payors that receive discounts from established billing rates. The various managed care contracts under which these discounts must be calculated are complex, subject to interpretation and adjustment, and may include multiple reimbursement mechanisms for different types of services provided in the Company’s in-patient facilities and cost settlement provisions. Management estimates the transaction price on a pay or specific basis given its interpretation of the applicable regulations or contract terms. The services authorized and provided and related reimbursement are often subject to interpretation that could result in payments that differ from the Company’s estimates. Additionally, updated regulations and contract renegotiations occur frequently, necessitating regular review and assessment of the estimation process by management.

 

Settlements under cost reimbursement agreements with third-party payors are estimated and recorded in the period in which the related services are rendered and are adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for any adjustments and final settlements. However, there can be no assurance that any such adjustments and final settlements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. The Company’s accounts receivables were $164,148 and $202,654 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and year ended December 31, 2018, respectively, and were included in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Management believes that these receivables are properly stated and are not likely to be settled for a significantly different amount. The net adjustments to estimated accounts receivable settlements resulted in a decrease in revenues of $0 and $262,353 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018, respectively.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

 

 

  c) Revenue Recognition (continued)

 

The Company’s revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. The Company derives its revenues from the sale of its services, as defined below. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its revenue transactions:

 

  i. identify the contract with a customer;
  ii. identify the performance obligations in the contract;
  iii. determine the transaction price;
  iv. allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
  v. recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company has two operating segments from which it derives revenues which is recognized on the basis described below.

 

  i. Rental Income

 

In terms of the lease agreement, on a monthly basis as long as the facility is utilized by the tenant

 

  ii. In-patient revenue

 

The patients have been treated and provided with services by the Company; there is clear evidence that an arrangement exists; the amount of revenue and related costs can be measured reliably; and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company.

 

  d) Non-monetary transactions

 

The Company’s policy is to measure an asset exchanged or transferred in a non-monetary transaction at the more reliable measurement of the fair value of the asset given up and the fair value of the asset received, unless:

 

  The transaction lacks commercial substance;

 

  The transaction is a transfer between entities under common control;

 

  The transaction is an exchange of a product or property held for sale in the ordinary course of business for a product or property to be sold in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers other than the parties to the exchange;

 

  Neither the fair value of the asset received nor the fair value of the asset given up is reliably measurable; or

 

  The transaction is a non-monetary, non-reciprocal transfer to owners that represents a spinoff or other form of restructuring or liquidation.

 

  e) Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company’s policy is to disclose bank balances under cash, including bank overdrafts with balances that fluctuate frequently from being positive to overdrawn and term deposits with a maturity period of three months or less from the date of acquisition. The Company had no cash equivalents at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

 

  f) Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable primarily consists of amounts due from third-party payors (non-governmental) and private pay patients and is recorded net of allowances for doubtful accounts and contractual discounts. The Company’s ability to collect outstanding receivables is critical to its results of operations and cash flows. Accordingly, accounts receivable reported in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is recorded at the net amount expected to be received. The Company’s primary collection risks are (i) the risk of overestimating net revenues at the time of billing that may result in the Company receiving less than the recorded receivable, (ii) the risk of non-payment as a result of commercial insurance companies denying claims, (iii) the risk that patients will fail to remit insurance payments to the Company when the commercial insurance company pays out-of-network claims directly to the patient, (iv) resource and capacity constraints that may prevent the Company from handling the volume of billing and collection issues in a timely manner, (v) the risk that patients do not pay the Company for their self-pay balances (including co-pays, deductibles and any portion of the claim not covered by insurance) and (vi) the risk of non-payment from uninsured patients.

 

  g) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, Contractual and Other Discounts

 

The Company derives the majority of its revenues from commercial payors at out-of-network rates. Management estimates the allowance for contractual and other discounts based on its historical collection experience. The services authorized and provided and related reimbursement are often subject to interpretation and negotiation that could result in payments that differ from the Company’s estimates. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts is based on historical experience, but management also takes into consideration the age of accounts, creditworthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. An account is written off only after the Company has pursued collection efforts or otherwise determines an account to be uncollectible. Uncollectible balances are written-off against the allowance. Recoveries of previously written-off balances are credited to income when the recoveries are made. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $363,068 as at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

  h) Financial instruments

 

The Company initially measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, except for certain non-arm’s length transactions. The Company subsequently measures all its financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost.

 

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash and accounts receivable.

 

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, harmonized sales tax payable, withholding taxes payable, convertible notes payable, loans payable and related party notes.

 

Financial assets measured at cost are tested for impairment when there are indicators of impairment. The amount of the write-down is recognized in net income. The previously recognized impairment loss may be reversed to the extent of the improvement, directly or by adjusting the allowance account, provided it is no greater than the amount that would have been reported at the date of the reversal had the impairment not been recognized previously. The amount of the reversal is recognized in net income. The Company recognizes its transaction costs in net income in the period incurred. However, financial instruments that will not be subsequently measured at fair value are adjusted by the transaction costs that are directly attributable to their origination, issuance or assumption.

 NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

 

  h) Financial instruments (continued)

 

FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

  · Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

 

  · Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

  · Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

The Company measures its convertible debt and derivative liabilities associated therewith at fair value. These liabilities are revalued periodically and the resultant gain or loss is realized through the Statement of Operations.

 

  i) Property, plant and equipment

 

Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the straight line basis over the estimated life of the asset:

 

 - Buildings                                                                          25 years    
 - Leasehold improvements                                                         over the term of the lease

 

  j) Leases

 

Leases are classified as either capital or operating leases. Leases that transfer substantially all of the benefits and inherent risks of ownership of property to the Company are accounted for as capital leases. At the time a capital lease is entered into, an asset is recorded together with its related long-term obligation to reflect the acquisition and financing. Equipment recorded under capital leases is amortized on the same basis as described above. Payments under operating leases with lease durations less than twelve months are expensed as incurred.

 

  k) Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. Under ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The tax basis of an asset or liability is the amount attributed to that asset or liability for tax purposes. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period of change. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion of, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

ASC Topic 740 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The first step is to determine if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained in an audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits within general and administrative expense. To the extent that accrued interest and penalties do not ultimately become payable, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction in general and administrative expenses in the period that such determination is made.

 

The tax returns for fiscal 2001, through 2017 are subject to audit or review by the US tax authorities, whereas fiscal 2010 through 2017 are subject to audit or review by the Canadian tax authority.

  l) Net income (loss) per Share

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period.

 

Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted net income (loss) per share are excluded from the calculation.

 

Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for options and warrants. Under this method, “in-the money” options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Dilution is computed by applying the if-converted method for convertible preferred stocks. Under this method, convertible preferred stock is assumed to be converted at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and preferred dividends (if any) will be added back to determine income applicable to common stock. The shares issuable upon conversion will be added to weighted average number of common stock outstanding. Conversion will be assumed only if it reduces earnings per share (or increases loss per share).

 

  m) Stock based compensation

 

Stock based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period or vesting period on a straight-line basis. Share-based compensation expense recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. This estimate will be revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We have minimal awards with performance conditions and no awards dependent on market conditions.

 

  n) Derivatives

 

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. The Company uses a Black Scholes Option Pricing model to estimate the fair value of convertible debt conversion features at the end of each applicable reporting period. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives during each reporting period are included in the statements of operations. Inputs into the Black Scholes Option Pricing model require estimates, including such items as estimated volatility of the Company’s stock, risk free interest rate and the estimated life of the financial instruments being fair valued.

 

If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion feature.

  o) Recent accounting pronouncements

 

Adoption of Accounting Standards

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASC 842)

 

The amendments in this update establishes a comprehensive new lease accounting model. The new standard: (a) clarifies the definition of a lease; (b) requires a dual approach to lease classification similar to current lease classifications; and (c) causes lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet as a lease liability with a corresponding right-of-use asset for leases with a lease-term of more than twelve months. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, including a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, an update which provides another transition method, the prospective transition method, which allows entities to initially apply the new lease standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 using the prospective transition method.

 

The Company has identified all leases and reviewed the leases to determine the impact of ASC 842 on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to certain classes of leases, whereby the separation of components of leases into lease and non-lease components is not required and all of the practical expedients to all leases, which include not reassessing (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. The adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet on January 1, 2019 of $15,986,074. The adoption of ASU 2016-02, as amended, has had no impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations or unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

  

The FASB issued several updated during the period, none of these standards are either applicable to the Company or require adoption at a future date and are not expected to have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

  

  p) Financial instruments Risks

 

The Company is exposed to various risks through its financial instruments. The following analysis provides a measure of the Company’s risk exposure and concentrations at the balance sheet date, September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

  i. Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable.

 

Credit risk associated with accounts receivable of ARIA is mitigated as only a percentage of the revenue billed to health insurance companies is recognized as income until such time as the actual funds are collected. The revenue is concentrated amongst several health insurance companies located in the US.

 

In the opinion of management, credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is assessed as low.

ETHEMA HEALTH CORPORATION

 

 NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

 

  p) Financial instruments Risks (continued)

 

  ii. Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk through its working capital deficiency of $13,826,678 accumulated deficit of $35,642,106. The Company will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital in order to implement its business plan. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful with future financing ventures, and the inability to secure such financing may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. In the opinion of management, liquidity risk is assessed as high, material and remains unchanged from the prior year.

 

  iii. Market risk

 

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises of three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk, and other price risk. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk and currency risk.

 

  a. Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to minimal interest rate risk as there is minimal overdraft indebtedness as of September 30, 2019. In the opinion of management, interest rate risk is assessed as low, not material and remains unchanged from the prior year.

 

  b. Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is subject to currency risk as it has subsidiaries that operate in Canada and are subject to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar. A substantial portion of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are denominated in Canadian dollars. Based on the net exposures at September 30, 2019, a 5% depreciation or appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar would result in an approximate $9,400 increase or decrease in the Company’s after tax net income from operations. The Company has not entered into any hedging agreements to mitigate this risk. In the opinion of management, currency risk is assessed as low, material and remains unchanged from the prior year.

 

  c. Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. In the opinion of management, the Company is not exposed to this risk and remains unchanged from the prior year.

 

  q) Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

3. Going concern

 

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations in the normal course of business. As at September 30, 2019 the Company has a working capital deficiency of $13,826,678 and accumulated deficit of $35,642,106. Management believes that current available resources will not be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned expenditures over the next 12 months. Accordingly, the Company will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of common shares, and/or debt financing in order to implement its business plan, and generating sufficient revenue in excess of costs. If the Company raises additional capital through the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity, stockholders will experience dilution, and such securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of common stock or convertible senior notes. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing debt, the Company may be subject to limitations on its operations, through debt covenants or other restrictions. If the Company obtains additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or strategic partners, the Company may be required to relinquish its rights to certain geographical areas, or techniques that it might otherwise seek to retain. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful with future financing ventures, and the inability to secure such financing may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded assets and liabilities or other adjustments that may be necessary should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern.

 

4. Prepaid expenses and other current assets

 

Prepaid expenses and other current assets includes the following:

 

On February 25, 2019, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent whereby it would purchase a 33.33% interest in Local Link Wellness, LLC (“LLW”) for gross proceeds of $400,000. LLW proposes to provide a comprehensive addiction treatment program to large employee groups. The company has advanced LLW a total of $120,000 as at September 30, 2019. These funds were advanced as short-term promissory notes that are immediately due and payable and are classified as other current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

5. Assets held for resale

 

On April 2, 2019, the Company entered into a Commercial Contract whereby the real property at 801 Andrews Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida, consisting of land and condominiums thereon, was sold to JAGGM, LLC for $3,500,000. This transaction closed on April 26, 2019.

The loss realized on the disposal was calculated as follows:

   Amount
    
Proceeds received  $3,500,485 
Less: closing costs   (182,344)
Net proceeds received   3,318,141 
      
Assets sold:     
Land   1,877,618 
Buildings thereon   2,060,219 
Furniture and fixtures   72,792 
    4,010,629 
      
Loss on disposal  $692,488

9. Leases (continued)

 

Practical Expedients and Elections

The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed us to carryforward our historical lease classification, our assessment on whether a contract is or contains a lease, and our initial direct costs for any leases that exist prior to adoption of the new standard. We also elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify.

 

Discount Rate applied to property operating lease

To determine the present value of minimum future lease payments for operating leases at January 1, 2019, the Company was required to estimate a rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment (the "incremental borrowing rate" or "IBR").

 

The Company determined the appropriate IBR by identifying a reference rate and making adjustments that take into consideration financing options and certain lease-specific circumstances. For the reference rate, the Company used the average of (i) the risk free interest rate adjusted for a premium for Company and liquidity risk; (ii) the weighted average mortgage interest rate currently availed to the Company; and (iii) the fifteen year mortgage interest rate. The weighted average rate the Company determined was 4.76% as an appropriate incremental borrowing rate to apply to its real-estate operating lease.

The warrants were valued using a Black Scholes pricing model and the relative fair value method, on the date of grant at $1,363,869 using the following weighted average assumptions:

 

    Nine months ended
September 30,
2019
     
Calculated stock price     $0.05 to $0.09

The risk-free interest rate used in the Black Scholes pricing model is determined by reference to historical U.S. Treasury constant maturity rates with maturities approximate to the life of the warrants granted. An expected dividend yield of zero is used in the valuation model, because the Company does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2019, the Company does not anticipate any awards will be forfeited in the valuation of the warrants.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The following discussion and analysis is intended as a review of significant factors affecting our financial condition and results of operations for the periods indicated. The discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes presented herein and the consolidated financial statements and the other information set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10- K/A for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 22, 2019. In addition to historical information, the following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ significantly from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors discussed herein and any other periodic reports filed and to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments, and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Plan of Operation

 

During the next twelve months, the Company plans to continue and expand its operations as a provider of addiction and aftercare treatment services. The Company has recently entered into a Letter of Intent to invest in a larger treatment provider and as this plan materializes, the Company will work closely with this provider to determine how best to leverage its marketing spend and to which segments of the market to target. Our plan would be to complement each other in the marketplace by having a wider variety of services available by specializing in different locations. It is not yet determined if any changes will be made to the management structure of our facility in West Palm Beach.

 

Results of Operations

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018.

 

Revenues

 

Revenues were $148,042 and $270,370 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a decrease of $122,328 or 45.2%.

 

Revenue from patient treatment was $64,500 and $187,339 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a decrease of $122,839 or 65.6%. We have not been able to attract sufficient patient numbers into our US facilities to generate sufficient revenues to cover operating costs, temporarily reducing our patient intake while we explore joint venture arrangements and investments in established addiction recovery operations within the US. We expect, that if we are successful in our efforts we will increase our patient numbers and revenues.

 

Revenue from rental income was $83,542 and $83,031 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, an increase of $511 or 0.6%. The increase is due to foreign currency movements between the two periods.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses were $1,158,473 and $1,197,672 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a decrease of $39,201 or 3.3%. The decrease is primarily due to the following:

 

  Management fees was $0 and $46,350 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a decrease of $46,350 or 100%. Management has not charged fees during the current year to preserve operating cash flow.

 

32

 

 

 

  Salaries of $370,341 and $263,901 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, an increase of $106,440 or 40.3% primarily due to additional staff required to operate the significantly larger West Palm Beach facility, which was not in full operation during the prior period.

  

  All other expense categories were reduced in an effort to preserve cash and curtail operating expenses whilst the Company seeks new business lines.

  

  Depreciation was $47,104 and $67,929 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a decrease of $20,825 or 30.7%, the decrease is attributable to the disposal of the condominiums in Delray Beach during the prior quarter.

 

Operating loss

The operating loss was $1,010,431 and $927,302 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, an increase of $83,129 or 9.0%. The increase is attributable to the lower revenues offset by a reduction in operating expenses, as discussed above.

 

Interest expense

 

Interest expense was $299,022 and $225,205 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, an increase of $73,817 or 32.8% was primarily due to the increase in convertible note funding during the current period. The funding was used for general working capital purposes.

 

Debt discount

 

Debt discount was $974,084 and $1,195,638 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a decrease of $221,554 or 18.5%. The charge during the current period represents the amortization of the value of the warrants issued over the terms of the convertible loan agreements entered into during the current period and during 2018 and the amortization of the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible notes issued to note holders during the current period and 2018. The fair value of the warrants and the beneficial conversion features are amortized over a six to twelve month period, the term of the underlying convertible securities.

 

Derivative liability movement

 

The derivative liability movement of $1,875,402 (gain) and $37,951(gain) represents the mark to market movements of variably priced convertible notes and warrants issued during the current and prior comparative period. These securities are marked to market on a quarterly basis and the resultant gain or loss is recorded as a derivative liability movement in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

Foreign exchange movements

 

Foreign exchange movements was $59,983 and $(95,292) for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, representing the realized exchange gains and (losses) on monetary assets and liabilities settled during the current year as well as mark to market adjustments on monetary assets and liabilities reflected on the balance sheet and denominated in Canadian Dollars.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018.

 

Revenues were $328,244 and $450,366 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a decrease of $122,122 or 27.1%.

We have not been able to attract sufficient patient numbers into our US facilities to generate sufficient revenues to cover operating costs, temporarily reducing our patient intake while we explore joint venture arrangements and investments in established addiction recovery operations within the US. We expect, that if we are successful in our efforts we will increase our patient numbers and revenues.

 

Revenue from rental income was $248,019 and $250,174 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a decrease of $2,155 or 0.9%. The decrease is due to foreign currency movements between the two periods.

  General and administrative expenses of $1,123,207 and $600,639 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, an increase of $522,568 or 87.0%, primarily due to an increase in property taxes of $441,711 and directors fees of $70,000 paid by the issuance of stock during the current period, the balance is made up of general movements in individually immaterial expenses associated with running a much larger facility in West Palm Beach.

 

  Rent expense was $1,212,042 and $626,321 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, an increase of $585,721 or 93.5%. This was due to the Company converting the option to purchase the property located at 5400 East Avenue, West Palm Beach, Florida, in which the treatment center is located into an operating lease during May 2018. The Company has an option to acquire the property.

 

  Management fees of $0 and $138,448 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, decreased by $138,448 or 100%, our CEO did not charge any fees during the current period to facilitate cash flow.

  Salaries and wages of $1,103,054 and $657,337 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, increased by $445,717 or 67.8%, primarily due to additional staff required to operate the significantly larger West Palm Beach facility, which was not in full operation during the prior period.

 

  Depreciation was $179,399 and $204,384 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a decrease of $24,985 or 12.2%, the decrease is attributable to the disposal of the condominiums in Delray Beach during the current quarter.

Interest expense of $841,160 and $572,243 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, an increase of $268,917 or 47.0% was primarily due to the increase in convertible note funding during the current period of a net $1,788,689. The funding was used for general working capital purposes.

35

 

 

Contingency related to outstanding payroll tax liabilities

 

The Company also has not filed certain foreign assets forms due to the US Federal Government. A provision of $250,000 was made for any potential penalties due.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash used in operating activities of $2,521,914 and $1,166,143 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively increased by $1,355,771 or 116.3%. The increase is primarily due to the following:

 

  · the decrease in net loss of $1,428,699, discussed under operations above.

 

  ·

the movement in non-cash items decreased by $(3,241,378), primarily made up of;

·  The increase in derivative liability movement of $(3,901,273) and;

·  The increase in the movement of debt discount amortization of $724,134, offset by;

·  The deferred rental liability movement of $259,299 and;

·  The movement in on cash compensation for services rendered of $317,278.

·  The net movement in working capital items of $(296,250).

 

Cash provided by investing activities of $3,310,865 and utilized by investing activities of $1,174,119 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, an increase of $4,484,984. We sold the Delray condominiums in the current period realizing proceeds of $3,318,141 and in the prior period we paid deposits on real estate of $1,132,509, whilst attempting to close the purchase of 5400 East Avenue, West Palm Beach, Florida.

 

Cash used by financing activities was $978,429 and generated by financing activities was $2,479,879 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $3,458,308. We repaid the mortgage bond associated with the condominiums we sold and raised a net $1,788,689 from convertible notes, promissory notes and related parties during the current period. We raised a net $2,544,000 in the prior period from convertible notes and related parties to fund working capital purposes

 

Over the next twelve months we estimate that the company will require approximately $2.5 million in working capital as it continues to develop its West Palm Beach facility and it is also exploring several other treatment center options and sources of patients throughout the country. The company may have to raise equity or secure debt. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful with future financing ventures, and the inability to secure such financing may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. In the opinion of management, the Company’s liquidity risk is assessed as medium.

 

We have assigned the ownership of our property at 810 Andrews Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida, valued at $1,500,000 to a convertible note holder as partial settlement of the amount owing and intend raising funds from certain investors to settle the remaining balance and other convertible notes as they fall due, we may not be successful in our fund raising attempts.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company has adopted and maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is collected, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As required under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, the Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that due to a lack of segregation of duties the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits 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 the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Subject to receipt of additional financing or revenue generated from operations, the Company intends to retain additional individuals to remedy the ineffective controls.

 

Changes in Internal Control

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Other than disclosed above, we are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Item 2. Unregistered sales of equity securities and use of proceeds

 

No shares were issued pursuant to the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, afforded the Company under Section 4(a)(2) promulgated thereunder due to the fact that the issuance did not involve a public offering because of the insubstantial number of persons involved in each offering, the size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of shares offered. Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(a) (2) of the Securities Act for these transactions.
