Company History

Ethema Health Corporation (the “Company” or “Ethema”), a Colorado corporation was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on April 1, 1993, and is the surviving company of a merger, effective February 1, 1995, between the Company and Nova Natural Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Nova Delaware”). The merger was effectuated solely for the purpose of changing the Company’s domicile from Delaware to Colorado. At all times prior to 2001, the Company was engaged in the oil and gas exploration business. Nova Delaware was the successor entity to Nova Petroleum Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and Power Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation, which merged in 1986 (“the 1986 Merger”). Prior to the 1986 Merger, Nova Petroleum Corporation and Power Resources Corporation had operated since 1979 and 1972, respectively. In 2001, the Company entered into the electronics business and this business was active in 2001 and 2002, as part of the Torita Group. After 2002, the Company continued with various stages of development in this business until 2010.

 

On April 1, 2010, the Company changed its principal operations from development stage electronics to healthcare services. On March 29, 2010, the Company entered into a one year consulting agreement with Greenestone Clinic Inc., a Canadian corporation (“Greenestone Clinic”), whereby Greenestone Clinic provided consulting services for the Company’s development and operation of medical clinics in the province of Ontario, Canada. Specifically, Greenestone Clinic provided medical and business expertise in the initial startup of private clinics and technical assistance to ensure that the clinics were in compliance with governmental policy and procedure requirements as well as any operational requirements. At the time of entering into this consulting agreement, Greenestone Clinic operated a clinic at the Muskoka property housing its addiction treatment clinic and provided endoscopy services. The Company started offering medical services in June 2010, offering various medical services, including endoscopy, cardiology and executive medicals, which services were subsequently sold.

 

On May 15, 2010, the Company secured a sublease of space (which was previously the Rothbart Pain Clinic) of approximately 8,000 sq. ft. to be used as the Company’s executive offices and to run an endoscopy clinic. The Endoscopy clinic was subsequently sold. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary GreeneStone Clinic Muskoka Inc. (“GreeneStone Muskoka”), also entered into a lease with the owner of the Muskoka premises on April 1, 2011 and provided mental health and addiction treatment services and operated an in patient addiction treatment center at this location.

 

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 Cranberry Cove Holdings Ltd. (“CCH”), which held the real estate on which the Company’s GreeneStone Muskoka operated, an asset purchase agreement (the “APA”) and lease (the “Lease”) whereby the Company sold certain of the GreeneStone Muskoka business assets and leased the real estate to the buyer, and 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 GreeneStone Muskoka 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 GreeneStone Muskoka were sold by the Company, through its subsidiary, GreeneStone Muskoka, to Canadian Addiction Residential Treatment LP (the “Purchaser”), for a total consideration of CDN$10,000,000, plus an additional performance 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 will remain in escrow for up to two years to cover indemnities given by the Company. The proceeds of the GreeneStone Muskoka 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 GreeneStone Muskoka 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 business and real estate assets of Seastone Delray pursuant to certain real estate and asset purchase agreements This business is operated through its wholly owned subsidiary Seastone. 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.

 

On April 4, 2017 the Company changed its Corporate name from Greenestone Healthcare Corporation to Ethema Health Corporation.

 

Recent Developments

 

On November 2, 2017, Ethema entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale (the “Agreement”) to purchase from AREP 5400 East Avenue LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”) certain buildings in West Palm Beach, Florida, totaling approximately 80,000 square feet, on which the present tenant operates a substance abuse treatment center (the “Property”). The purchase price of the Property is $20,530,000, and the Company is obligated under the Agreement to make a series of nonrefundable down payments totaling $2,210,000. The closing of the transaction, which is subject to standard due diligence, conditions to closing and deliverables, is scheduled to occur on May 8, 2018 , or such earlier date as is agreed upon by the parties.

 

On December 1, 2017, Ethema and its wholly owned subsidiaries Ethema Clinic Muskoka Inc.(“previously GreeneStone Clinic Muskoka Inc.), an Ontario corporation, CCH, an Ontario corporation and Seastone, a Florida limited liability company (the “ Subsidiaries ”) closed on a private offering (the “ Private Offerin g”) to raise up to USD$1,500,000 in capital. Pursuant to the Private Offering, the Company and the Subsidiaries jointly and severally issued one senior secured convertible promissory note (the “ Note ”), bearing a principal amount of up to $1,650,000 in total, to Leonite Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “ Investor ”). The Note bears interest at the rate of 6.5% per annum. The initial draw under the Note was $300,000 with a $150,000 original issue discount for a total of $450,000. The Company issued the Investor 1,650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with the closing and paid $20,000 of the Investor’s legal fees. The Note’s initial maturity date is June 1, 2018. During the term of the Note the Company and the Subsidiaries will be obligated to make monthly payment of accrued and unpaid interest. The Note contains Company and Subsidiary representations and warranties, covenants, events of default, and registration rights. The amounts due under the Note are convertible, at the Investors request, into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial price of $0.06 per share, subject to adjustment.

 

On December 29, 2017, effective as of December 1, 2017, the Company and the Subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “ A&R Note ”), which note amends and restates the Note to (a) extend the maturity date to December 1, 2018; (b) remove CCH as an obligor; (c) increase the interest rate by 2.00% per annum; and (d) issue an additional 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Investor.

At the execution of the Note, the Investor funded an initial tranche of $300,000. Thereafter the Investor funded a second tranche of $156,136. Upon the execution of the A&R Note the Investor funded a third tranche of $100,000. Upon the execution of the First Amendment the Investor funded a final tranche of $850,000, with the remaining $93,764 of availability under the A&R Note, as amended, serving as a holdback pursuant to the terms of the First Amendment.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

In the securities transactions described below, 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.

Penny Stock

 

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted rules that regulate broker dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a tollfree telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

 

The broker dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.

 

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

 

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements  

 

Many of the matters discussed within this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (“Annual Report”) contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) on our current expectations and projections about future events. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar expressions. These statements are based on our current beliefs, expectations, and assumptions and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed, projected or implied in or by the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include the risks noted under Part 1. “Business,” Part 1A “Risk Factors” and Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” but are also contained elsewhere. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Icagen,” refer to Icagen, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

 

Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

 

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, 2017.

On February 14, 2017, and in terms of the agreements entered into on May 19, 2016, GreeneStone completed a series of transactions (referred to collectively as the “Restructuring Transactions”), including a share purchase agreement (the “SPA”) whereby Ethema acquired the stock of the company holding the Muskoka Healthcare Clinic real estate, an asset purchase agreement (the “APA”) and lease (the “Lease”) whereby the Company sold all of the Muskoka clinic business assets and leased the clinic building to the buyer, and a real estate purchase agreement and asset purchase agreement whereby Ethema purchased the real estate and business assets of Seastone Delray (the “Florida Purchase”).

The Company entered into an Agreement to purchase certain buildings in West Palm Beach, Florida, totaling approximately 80,000 square feet, on which the present tenant operates a substance abuse treatment center. The purchase price of the Property is $20,530,000. The closing of the transaction, which is subject to standard due diligence, conditions to closing and deliverables, is scheduled to occur on May 8, 2018 , or such earlier date as is agreed upon by the parties.

The company sold its Greenestone Muskoka Treatment Center effective February 17, 2017, simultaneously with the purchase of the assets and real estate of an addiction treatment center in Delray Beach, Florida. The disposal of the Greenestone Muskoka Treatment Center has been reflected as a discontinued operation in the financial statements as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the results of operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Other income of $475,487 and $72,508 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of $402,979 or 555.8%. Other income in the current period consists of the reversal of a provision raised against a receivable on the disposal of the Endoscopy Clinic in prior years amounting to $472,368, the receivable was assigned to Leon Developments as part of the purchase consideration paid on the acquisition of CCH. Other income in the prior year represented the proceeds related to the sale of certain oil rights which belonged to the Company prior to changing its operations to that of drug rehabilitation and treatment centers.

The $93,244, incurred in the prior period represents the amortization of the value of warrant and original issue discount attached to a short-term loan.

 

Derivative liability movement

These securities are marked to market on a quarterly basis and the resultant gain or loss is booked as a derivative liability movement in the statement of operations.

Profit on sale of the business of the Canadian Rehab Clinic of $7,494,828 represents the excess of the proceeds received over the assets disposed of as reflected in note 1 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements.
Foreign exchange loss of $135,190 which represents the realized gains on the monetary assets and liabilities settled during each period as well as mark to market adjustments on monetary assets and liabilities reflected on the balance sheet and denominated in Canadian Dollars.

Contingency related to outstanding payroll tax liabilities

A provision of $250,000 was made for any potential penalties due This issue is being addressed by our tax advisors together with our tax returns mentioned above. remaining liability of approximately $250,000 relates to the not filing of certain foreign assets forms. This issue is currently being addressed.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The following table summarizes working capital at December 31, 2017, compared to December 31, 2016.

 

    December 31, 2017     December 31, 2016     Increase (Decrease)  
                   
Current assets   $ 334,619     $ 275,575     $ 59,044  
Current liabilities     (6,860,178 )     (3,637,111 )     (3,223,067 )
                         
    $ (6,525,559 )   $ (3,361,536 )   $ (3,164,023 )

 

The increase in current assets during the current year is primarily due to the increase in receivable of $218,858 from the Seastone operations an increase in prepaid expenses of $96,632 offset by a reduction in the discontinued operation asset of $183,219 in the prior year.

 

The increase in current liabilities, includes, a derivative liability of $2,859,832, the fair value of convertible securities which are marked-to-market on a quarterly basis. This derivative has no impact on cash flow. In addition there is a payable of approximately $2,597,000 owing primarily to Leon Developments, a company wholly owned by our CEO Shawn Leon, this payable arose primarily on the acquisition of CCH during the current year.

 

Over the next twelve months we estimate that the company will require $3.0 million in working capital as it continues to develop its Seastone of Delray business and concluded the acquisition of the 174 bed rehabilitation center located on West Palm Beach. 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, a change from the prior years, high risk assessment, due to the settlement of the outstanding tax liabilities mentioned above.

REPORT OF I NDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Ethema Health Corporation

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Ethema Health Corporation (the “Company”) at December 31, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for year ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had accumulated deficit of approximately $22.3 million and negative working capital of approximately $6.5 million at December 31, 2017, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 6. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

 

We  conducted our audit in accordance  with  the standards of the Public Company  Accounting  Oversight Board (United States).

The Company is not required to have, nor were  we  engaged to  perform,  an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our  audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that  are  appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an  opinion  on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly,  we  express no such  opinion. An  audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We  believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our  opinion.

 

In  our  opinion,  the consolidated financial statements  referred  to above present  fairly,  in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Ethema Health Corporation as of December 31,  2016 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year the ended in conformity  with  accounting principles generally accepted in the  United  States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

ETHEMA HEALTH CORPORATION

 

NOTES TO THE 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. and 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 performance 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 will 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.

 

On November 2, 2017, the Company entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale (the “Agreement”) to purchase from AREP 5400 East Avenue LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”) certain buildings in West Palm Beach, Florida, totaling approximately 80,000 square feet, on which the present tenant operates a substance abuse treatment center (the “Property”). The purchase price of the Property is $20,530,000, and the Company is obligated under the Agreement to make a series of nonrefundable down payments totaling $2,210,000. The closing of the transaction, which is subject to standard due diligence, conditions to closing and deliverables, is scheduled to occur on May 8, 2018 , or such earlier date as is agreed upon by the parties.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

a) Financial Reporting

 

The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Revenues and expenses are reported on the accrual basis, which means that income is recognized as it is earned and expenses are recognized as they are incurred.

 

Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company’s system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that i) recorded transactions are valid; ii) valid transactions are recorded; and iii) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being presented.

 

b) Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

 

c) Principals of consolidation and foreign currency translation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

Certain of the Company’s subsidiary’s 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 year ended December 31, 2017 a closing rate of CAD$1.0000 equals US$0.7971 and an average exchange rate of CAD$1.0000 equals US$0.7867.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

d) Revenue Recognition

 

The Company has two operating segments from which it derives revenues, i) rental income from leasing of a rehabilitation facility to third parties and ii) in-patient revenues for rehabilitation services provided to customers. Revenue is recognized as follows:

 

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 customers 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.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the rendering of services when they are earned; specifically, when all of the following conditions are met:

 

the significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to customers and the Company retains neither continuing involvement nor effective control;
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.

 

In particular, the Company recognizes:

 

Fees for outpatient counselling, coaching, intervention, psychological assessments and other related services when patients receive the service; and
Fees for inpatient addiction treatments proportionately over the term of the patient’s treatment.

 

e) Nonmonetary transactions

 

The Company’s policy is to measure an asset exchanged or transferred in a nonmonetary 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 nonmonetary, nonreciprocal transfer to owners that represents a spinoff or other form of restructuring or liquidation.

 

f) 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

g) 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 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.

 

h) 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.

 

i) 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.

 

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.

j) Plant and equipment

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

 

Leasehold improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over the term of the lease. Half rates are used for all fixed assets in the year of acquisition.

k) 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 are expensed as incurred.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)  

l) 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. 

m) 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). 

n) 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 consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 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. 

o) 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.

p) Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. (“ASU”) 2017-02, an amendment to Topic 805, Business Combinations. The amendments in this Update clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The amendments in this Update affect all reporting entities that must determine whether they have acquired or sold a business. The amendments in this Update provide a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business. The amendments in this Update apply to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. No disclosures are required at transition. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, an amendment to Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, an entity no longer will determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Because these amendments eliminate Step 3 2 from the goodwill impairment test, they should reduce the cost and complexity of evaluating goodwill for impairment. An entity should apply the amendments in this Update on a prospective basis. The amendments in this Update are effective for Goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the effect ASU 2017-04 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, an amendment to Subtopic 610-20, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets The amendments in this Update are required for public business entities and other entities that have goodwill reported in their financial statements, under the amendments in this Update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The amendments in this Update modify the concept of impairment from the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value to the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. An entity no longer will determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. An entity should apply the amendments in this Update on a prospective basis. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the effect ASU 2017-05 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

p) Recent accounting pronouncements (continued)

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. (“ASU’’) 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in this Update provide guidance about:

 

1. Accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features

 

2. Replacement of the indefinite deferral for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain non-public entities and certain non-controlling interests

 

The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260).

 

The amendments in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect.

 

The amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments in Part 1 of this Update should be applied in either of the following ways: 1. Retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down round feature by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the statement of financial position as of the beginning of the first fiscal year and interim period(s) in which the pending content that links to this paragraph is effective 2. Retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down round feature for each prior reporting period presented in accordance with the guidance on accounting changes in paragraphs 250-10-45-5 through 45-10.

 

The amendments in Part II of this Update do not require any transition guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging, (Topic 815), Targeted Improvements to accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments in this update provide guidance about:

 

The amendments in this Update better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. To meet that objective, the amendments expand and refine hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements.

 

For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the Update. Transition Requirements For cash flow and net investment hedges existing at the date of adoption, an entity should apply a cumulative-effect adjustment related to eliminating the separate measurement of ineffectiveness to accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year that an entity adopts the amendments in this Update. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required only prospectively.

 

The impact this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements is expected to be immaterial.

p) Recent accounting pronouncements (continued)

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Entities will be able to transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. We do not expect that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have any significant impact on our operating cash flows.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

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.

 

r) 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, December 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

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 Seastone of Delray 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.

 

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 $5,710,511 accumulated deficit $(16,967,612). 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 on its bank indebtedness as there is a balance owing of $28,927 as of December 31, 2017. This liability is based on floating rates of interest that have been stable during the current reporting period. 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 December 31, 2017, a 5% depreciation or appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar would result in an approximate $29,500 increase or decrease in the Company’s after tax net income from operations. The Company has not entered into any hedging agreements to mediate 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.

6.           Going Concern

 

The Company’s 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 December 31, 2017 the Company has a working capital deficiency of $(6,525,559) and accumulated deficit of $(22,350,401). 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 consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company generating cash from the sale of its common stock or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations. Management's plans include selling its equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund its capital requirement and ongoing operations; however, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts.

 

These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These 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.

The provision raised against the note was reversed and the unrecorded interest thereon was recognized during the current period.

 

On February 14, 2017, the Company sold its Canadian Rehab Clinic for gross proceeds of CDN$10,000,000, of which CDN$1,500,000 (US$1,155,900) has been retained in an escrow account for a period of up to two years in order to guarantee the warranties provided by the Company in terms of the APA.

21. Income taxes

 

The Company is not current in its tax filings as of December 31, 2017 and 2016

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes “ASC 740”. ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax losses and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Internal Revenue Code Section 382 “IRC 382” places a limitation on the amount of taxable income that can be offset by carry forwards after a change in control (generally greater than a 50% change in ownership).

The components of the Company’s deferred taxes asset as at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are as follows:

                 
    December 31, 2017     December 31, 2016

Valuation allowance     (20,556,758 )     (20,303,013 )
             

 

As of December 31, 2017, the Company is in arrears on filing its statutory income tax returns and the amounts presented above are based on estimates. The actual losses available could differ from these estimates. In addition, the Company could be subject to penalties for these unfiled tax returns.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company has accrued and expensed $250,000 (2016: $250,000) in penalties and interest attributable to delinquent tax returns. Management believes the Company has adequately provided for any ultimate amounts that are likely to result from audits of these returns once filed; however, final assessments, if any, could be significantly different than the amounts recorded in the financial statements.

 

The Company operates in foreign jurisdictions and is subject to audit by taxing authorities. These audits may result in the assessment of amounts different than the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements. The Company liaises with the relevant authorities in these jurisdictions in regard to its income tax and other returns. Management believes the Company has adequately provided for any taxes, penalties and interest that may fall due.

 

22. Subsequent events

 

On March 9, 2018, the Company, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Power Up Lending Group Ltd., pursuant to which the Company issued to the Purchaser a Convertible Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of $153,000. The Note has a maturity date of December 30, 2018 and bears interest at the at the rate of twelve percent per annum from the date on which the Note is issued until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. The Company shall have the right to prepay the Note in terms of agreement. The outstanding principal amount of the Note is convertible at any time and from time to time at the election of the Purchaser during the period beginning on the date that is 180 days following the issue date into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 61% of the average lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading days prior to conversion.

 

Other than the above, the Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued and has concluded that no such events or transactions took place that would require disclosure herein.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

 

None.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

 

a) Evaluation of Disclosure and Control Procedures

 

The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure (i) that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and (ii) that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2017, and concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a whole, and that the deficiency involving internal controls constituted a material weakness as discussed below.

 

b) Management’s Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). A system of internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, the Company’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on the criteria established in a report entitled “Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission” and the interpretive guidance issued by the Commission in Release No. 34-55929. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated and concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2017, and identified the following material weaknesses:

 

There are insufficient written policies and procedures to ensure the correct application of accounting and financial reporting with respect to the current requirements of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and Notwithstanding the existence of this material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, our management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in its reports fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s registered public accounting firm was not required to issue an attestation on its internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls and procedures on an ongoing basis.

 

c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Compliance with Section 16(A) of the Exchange Act

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, executive officers and persons who beneficially own 10% or more of a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership with the SEC. Directors, executive officers and greater than 10% stockholders are required by the rules and regulations of the SEC to furnish the Company with copies of all reports filed by them in compliance with Section 16(a).

Board Meetings and Committees

 

The Company holds regular Board meetings each quarter. There are no sub committees of the Board. All Directors act on all matters before the Board.

 

Audit Committee

approved by our audit committee; or
entered into pursuant to preapproval policies and procedures established by the audit committee, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the audit committee is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the audit committee’s responsibilities to management.

 

We do not currently have an audit committee. The Board preapproves all services provided by our independent auditors and otherwise performs the functions of an audit committee.

The audit report of Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on the financial statements for each of the past two years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, with the exception that: the reports dated April 17, 2017, and April 14, 2016, contained the following explanatory paragraph: “The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has sustained net losses and has a working capital and stockholder’s deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 6. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.”

 

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim periods preceding its dismissal of RBSM, there were: (i) no disagreements with RBSM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of RBSM, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the consolidated financial statements of the Company; and (ii) no reportable events as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
