UP
TO 4,166,666,660 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK THROUGH 416,666,666 UNITS OF 100 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK PER UNIT
Ethema
Health Corporation, a Colorado corporation (the “Company,” “Ethema,” “we,” “us,” and
“our”), is offering up to 4,166,666,660 shares (“Shares”) of its common stock, par value of $0.01 per share (“Common
Stock”) sold in Units of 100 Shares of Common Stock (“Units”) on a “best efforts” basis without any minimum
offering amount pursuant to Regulation A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
for Tier 2 offerings (the “Offering”). We expect that the fixed initial public offering price per Unit will be $0.12 (equivalent
of per share of Common Stock will be $0.0012) upon qualification of the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part
by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We expect to commence the sale of the Units within two calendar
days of the date on which the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part is declared qualified by the SEC. The Offering
is expected to expire on the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the Units offered are sold; or (ii) the date on which this Offering
is earlier terminated by us in our sole discretion. For avoidance of doubt, potential investors will only be able to purchase Shares
in Units. There will be no fractional Units sold.
We
have engaged DealMaker Securities LLC (the “Broker”), a broker-dealer registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) and a member of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), to perform certain administrative
and compliance related functions in connection with this Offering, but not for underwriting or placement agent services. Potential investors
may at any time make revocable offers to subscribe to purchase Units with each containing 100 shares of our Common Stock. Such revocable
offers will become irrevocable when both the Offering Statement is qualified by the SEC and we accept your subscription. We may close
on investments on a “rolling” basis (so not all investors will receive their Shares on the same date). Funds will be promptly
refunded without interest, for sales that are not consummated. Upon closing under the terms as set out in this Offering Circular, funds
will be immediately available to us (where the funds will be available for use in our operations in a manner consistent with the “Use
of Proceeds” in this Offering Circular) and the Shares for such closing will be issued to investors. See “Plan
of Distribution” of this Offering Circular for more information.
Our
Common Stock currently trades on the OTC Pink Open Market under the symbol “GRST” and the closing price of our Common
Stock on April 6, 2023 was $0.0004. Our Common Stock currently trades on a sporadic and limited basis.
An
investment in the Units (each containing 100 Shares) is subject to certain risks and should be made only by persons or entities able
to bear the risk of and to withstand the total loss of their investment. Prospective investors should carefully consider and review the “Risk
Factors” beginning on page 8.

IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THIS OFFERING CIRCULAR
Please
carefully read the information in this offering circular and any accompanying offering circular supplements, which we refer to collectively
as the offering circular. You should rely only on the information contained in this Offering Circular. We have not authorized anyone
to provide you with different information. This offering circular may only be used where it is legal to sell these securities. You should
not assume that the information contained in this offering circular is accurate as of any date later than the date hereof or such other
dates as are stated herein or as of the respective dates of any documents or other information incorporated herein by reference.
This
offering circular is part of an offering statement that we filed with the SEC, using a continuous offering process. Periodically, as
we have material developments, we will provide an offering circular supplement that may add, update or change information contained in
this offering circular. Any statement that we make in this offering circular will be modified or superseded by any inconsistent statement
made by us in a subsequent offering circular supplement. The offering statement we filed with the SEC includes exhibits that provide
more detailed descriptions of the matters discussed in this offering circular. You should read this offering circular and the related
exhibits filed with the SEC and any offering circular supplement, together with additional information contained in our annual reports,
semi-annual reports and other reports and information statements that we will file periodically with the SEC. See the section entitled
“Additional Information” below for more details.
We,
and if applicable, those selling Common Stock on our behalf in this offering, will be permitted to make a determination that the purchasers
of Common Stock in this offering are “qualified purchasers” in reliance on the information and representations provided by
the purchaser regarding the purchaser’s financial situation. Before making any representation that your investment does not exceed
applicable thresholds, we encourage you to review Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A (“Regulation A”) under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). For general information on investing, we encourage you to refer to www.investor.gov.
STATE
LAW EXEMPTION AND PURCHASE RESTRICTIONS
Our
Common Stock is being offered and sold only to “qualified purchaser” (as defined in Regulation A). As a Tier 2 offering pursuant
to Regulation A, this offering will be exempt from state law “Blue Sky” review, subject to meeting certain state filing requirements
and complying with certain anti-fraud provisions, to the extent that our Common Stock offered hereby is offered and sold only to “qualified
purchasers” or at a time when our Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange. “Qualified purchasers”
include: (i) “accredited investors” under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act (“Regulation D”)
and (ii) all other investors so long as their investment in our Common Stock does not represent more than 10% of the greater of their
annual income or net worth (for natural persons), or 10% of the greater of annual revenue or net assets at fiscal year-end (for non-natural
persons).
To
determine whether a potential investor is an “accredited investor” for purposes of satisfying one of the tests in the “qualified
purchaser” definition, the investor must be a natural person who has:
|
1. |
an individual net worth,
or joint net worth with the person’s spouse, that exceeds $1,000,000 at the time of the purchase, excluding the value of the
primary residence of such person; or |
|
2. |
earned income exceeding
$200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with a spouse exceeding $300,000 for those years and a reasonable expectation
of the same income level in the current year. |
If
the investor is not a natural person, different standards apply. See Rule 501 of Regulation D for more details.
For
purposes of determining whether a potential investor is a “qualified purchaser,” annual income and net worth should be calculated
as provided in the “accredited investor” definition under Rule 501 of Regulation D. In particular, net worth in all cases
should be calculated excluding the value of an investor’s home, home furnishings and automobiles.
SUMMARY
This
summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this Offering Circular. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of
the information that you should consider before deciding to invest in our Common Stock. You should read this entire Offering Circular
carefully, including the risks associated with an investment in us discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of this Offering
Circular, before making an investment decision.
Summary
Ethema
Health Corporation aims to develop world class centers of excellence in addiction treatment for adults. We specialize in the treatment
of substance use disorders. By working with doctors and researchers, we strive to develop better assessment and treatment modalities
for the industry. We operate the Addiction Recovery Institute of America, a 41-bed addiction treatment facility located in West Palm
Beach, Florida. This facility is a three-story building with unfinished commercial space on the first floor and two floors of mixed commercial
and residential space where clients are treated and sleep. The first-floor space is being completed at which time it will allow the center
to expand to 52 beds by moving existing treatment space from the 2nd floor to the 1st Floor.
Through
this Offering, we are looking to expand our operations through acquisition of, and partnership with, other treatment facilities. By integrating
operations and reducing redundancies, we can offer an efficient and effective treatment plan to service the unique and varying needs
of our patients.

Risks
Related to Our Business and Strategy
Our
ability to successfully operate our business is subject to numerous risks, including those that are generally associated with operating
in the addiction treatment industry. Any of the factors set forth under “Risk Factors”
below may limit our ability to successfully execute our business strategy. You should carefully consider all of the information set forth
in this Offering Circular and, in particular, you should evaluate the specific factors set forth under “Risk
Factors” below in deciding whether to invest in our Common Stock. Risks relating to our business and our ability to execute
our business strategy include:
|
· |
we may not effectively manage our growth; |
|
· |
we operate in a highly competitive industry and our
failure to compete effectively could adversely affect our market share, revenues and growth prospects; |
|
· |
unfavorable publicity or consumer perception of our
services could adversely affect our reputation and the demand for our services; |
|
· |
if the services we provide do not comply with applicable
regulatory and legislative requirements, we may be required to suspend our services; |
|
· |
if we do not meet certain provider credentialing or
service metrics, we may lose relationships with insurance providers and limit our ability to offer services to certain patients;
and |
|
· |
changes in our management team could adversely affect
our business strategy and adversely impact our performance. |
RISK
FACTORS
The
SEC requires the company to identify risks that are specific to its business and its financial condition. The company is still subject
to all the same risks that all companies in its business, and all companies in the economy, are exposed to. These include risks relating
to economic downturns, political and economic events and technological developments (such as hacking and the ability to prevent hacking).
Additionally, early-stage companies are inherently more risky than more developed companies. You should consider general risks as well
as specific risks when deciding whether to invest.
Risk
Factors Related to the Company and its Business
Our
financials were prepared on a “going concern” basis.
Our
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP applicable to a going concern, which
assumes that we will be able to meet our obligations and continue its operations in the normal course of business. As of September 30,
2021, the Company has a working capital deficiency of approximately $15,440,821 and accumulated deficit of approximately $45,978,688.
Management believes that current available resources will not be sufficient to fund our planned expenditures over the next 12 months.
Accordingly, we 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 we raise 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 we raise additional
funds by issuing debt, we may be subject to limitations on its operations, through debt covenants or other restrictions. If we obtain
additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or strategic partners, we 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 we will be successful with future
financing ventures, and the inability to secure such financing may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. These factors
create substantial doubt about our 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 we not be able to continue as a going concern.
Any
valuation of the Company at this stage is difficult to assess.
We
established the valuation for the Offering. Unlike actively-traded companies that are valued publicly through market-driven stock prices,
the valuation of limited trading companies, especially startups, is difficult to assess and you may risk overpaying for your investment.
This is especially true with companies engaging in new product offerings.
We
operate in a regulatory environment that is evolving and uncertain.
The
healthcare and addiction treatment market is subject to various and changing regulatory schemes both federally and at the state level.
These regulatory schemes are politically influenced with changes of control of our government and the composition of our state and local
governments. In 2020, the United States experienced federal elections that resulted in a change in the control of both the executive
and legislative branches of the federal government and some of the state governments of states in which we may look to operate. As these
changes have just occurred, it is unclear what regulatory changes, if any, will be made by the new administration running the executive
branch of the federal government.
We
operate in a highly regulated industry.
We
are subject to extensive regulation and failure to comply with such regulation could have an adverse effect on our business. Of significant
note, we are subject to numerous patient privacy laws and regulations. These include federal regulations like the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and 42 CFR Part 2. Among other things, these regulations govern circumstances
where information about a patient can be disclosed and protects all records relating to a patient’s identity, diagnosis, prognosis
or treatment in a substance abuse program related or linked to the federal government. Failure to follow these regulations can result
in significant fines and other penalties that may make it impossible to operate and provide our services. In addition, some of
the restrictions and rules applicable to our subsidiaries could adversely affect and limit some of our business plans.
We
have an evolving business model.
Our
business model is one of innovation, including continuously working to expand our patient capacity and treatment techniques; see the
“The Company’s Business.” It is unclear whether our expansion plans
will be successful. Further, we continuously try to adapt new methods and techniques to treat our patients, and we cannot offer any assurance
that any of them will be successful. We cannot offer any assurance that any of the expansion plans or any other modifications to our
footprint and treatment techniques will be successful or will not result in harm to the business. We may not be able to manage growth
effectively, which could damage our reputation, limit our growth, and negatively affect our operating results.
We
are reliant on one main type of service.
All
of current services are variants on one type of service — providing addiction treatment for adults. Our growth and future financial
performance will depend on its ability to demonstrate to prospective buyers and users the value of our services. There can be no assurance
that we will be successful in this effort. Furthermore, competing alternatives may be seen to have, or may actually have, certain advantages
over our services.
We
depend on key personnel and face challenges recruiting needed personnel.
Our
future success depends on the efforts of a small number of key personnel, including our CEO, CFO, and Chairman Shawn Leon. In addition,
due to our limited financial resources and the specialized expertise required, we may not be able to recruit the individuals needed for
our business needs. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining the personnel we require to operate
and meet the needs of our patients.
Our
revenues and profits are subject to fluctuations.
It
is difficult to accurately forecast our revenues and operating results, and these could fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors.
These factors may include adverse changes in: number of investors and amount of investors’ dollars, the success of securities markets,
general economic conditions, our ability to market our services to patients and other service providers, headcount and other operating
costs, and general industry and regulatory conditions and requirements. Our operating results may fluctuate from year to year due to
the factors listed above and others not listed. At times, these fluctuations may be significant and could impact our ability to operate
our business. Our revenue model is new and evolving, and it cannot be certain that it will be successful. The potential profitability
of its business model is unproven and there can be no assurance that we can achieve profitable operations. Our ability to generate revenues
depends, among other things, on its ability to generate revenues relating to helping customers engage cleaner living in an ecological
community. Accordingly, we cannot assure investors that its business model will be successful or that it can sustain revenue growth,
or achieve or sustain profitability.
If
we cannot raise sufficient funds, we will not succeed.
To
date, we have experienced a continuing need for capital to execute our business model. We are offering securities in the amount of up
to $5 million in this offering, and may close on any investments that are made. The amount we can raise in any 12-month period pursuant
to Regulation A is limited to $75 million. Even if the maximum amount is raised (in this 12-month period or in subsequent periods), we
are likely to need additional funds in the future in order to grow, and if we cannot raise those funds for whatever reason, including
reasons relating to us or to the broader economy, we may not survive. If we manage to raise only a portion of funds sought, we will have
to find other sources of funding for some of the plans outlined in “Use of Proceeds.”
We do not have any alternative sources of funds committed.
There
is no minimum amount set as a condition to closing this offering.
Because
this is a “best effort” offering with no minimum, we will have access to any funds tendered. This might mean that any investment
made could be the only investment in this offering, leaving us without adequate capital to pursue our business plan or even to cover
the expenses of this offering.
Natural
disasters and other events beyond our control could materially adversely affect us.
Natural
disasters or other catastrophic events may cause damage or disruption to our operations, commerce and the global economy, and thus could
have a strong negative effect on us. Our business operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, fire, power shortages,
pandemics and other events beyond our control. Although we maintain crisis management and disaster response plans, such events could
make it difficult or impossible for us to deliver our services to our customers and could decrease demand for our services. In the spring
of 2020, large segments of the U.S. and global economies were impacted by COVID-19, a significant portion of the U.S. population are
subject to “stay at home” or similar requirements. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 and any subsequent “breakouts”
of COVID-19, on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the
outbreak, impact on our customers, impact on our customer, employee or industry events, and effect on our vendors, all of which are uncertain
and cannot be predicted. At this point, the extent to which COVID-19 may impact our financial condition or results of operations is uncertain.
To the extent COVID-19 continues to wreak havoc on the economy and the ability to remain open may have a significant impact on our results
and operations.
We
a short operating history and limited working capital.
We
have a limited relevant operating history upon which investors can evaluate performance and prospects and is not certain that it will
maintain sustained profitability. Our business is subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise,
including, but not limited to, limited capital, need to expand its workforce, unanticipated costs, uncertain markets, adverse changes
in technology and the absence of a significant operating history. We will need to maintain significant revenues to achieve and maintain
profitability and we may not be able to do so. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability
in the future. If our revenues grow more slowly than we anticipate or if its operating expenses exceed expectations, our financial performance
will be adversely affected. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered
by companies in their early stages of development. We cannot assure investors that it will be successful in addressing the risks it may
encounter, and its failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results
of operations. Failure to meet our objectives would have a material adverse effect on our operations. In particular, insufficient market
demand would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Growth
strategy
Our
business model may require an effective execution of its growth strategy over a short period of time in order to scale operations quickly
and establish market presence. Achieving our growth strategy may be critical in order for its business to achieve profitability. If we
are unable to effectively implement its growth strategy ahead of its competition, our business, financial condition or results of operation
could be materially and adversely affected.
Competition
Our
market space is competitive. If we are unable to successfully compete with competitors (including both existing and new companies that
enter this market space), our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. The
market for our products and services is rapidly changing. Competitors may develop products and/or services that are better, less expensive
or otherwise more attractive than those offered by us.
We
may be unable to maintain its relationships.
We
cannot assure investors that it will be successful in maintaining relationships with its customers and counterparties. Our inability
to maintain these relationships could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition.
Damage
to our reputation could damage its businesses.
Maintaining
a positive reputation is critical to us attracting and maintaining customers, counterparties, investors and employees. Damage to its
reputation can therefore cause significant harm to our business and prospects. Harm to our reputation could arise from numerous sources,
including, among others, employee misconduct, litigation or regulatory outcomes, compliance failures, unethical behavior and the activities
of customers and counterparties. Further, negative publicity regarding us, whether or not true, may also result in harm to its prospects.
Market
changes.
Our
success may be dependent upon our ability to develop our market and change our business model as may be necessary to react to changing
market conditions. Our ability to modify or change its business model to fit the needs of a changing marketplace may be critical to our
success, and our inability to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity and financial condition.
Risk
Factors Related to the Offering
There
is uncertainty as to the amount of time it will take for us to deliver securities to investors under this offering.
The
process for issuance of Common Stock is set out in “Plan of Distribution.”
There may be a delay between the time you execute your subscription agreement and tender funds and the time securities are delivered
to you. Although investors who provide the information required by the subscription agreement and give accurate instructions for the
payment of the subscription price typically should receive their securities promptly after a complete submission, we cannot guarantee
that you will receive your securities by a specific date or within a specific timeframe.
The
exclusive forum provision in the subscription agreements may have the effect of limiting an investor’s ability to bring legal action
against us and could limit an investor’s ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes.
Section 6
in each of the subscription agreements for this offering includes a forum selection provision that requires any claims against
us based on the subscription agreement be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Florida. The forum selection
provision will not be applicable to lawsuits arising from the federal securities laws. The provision may have the effect of limiting
the ability of investors to bring a legal claim against us due to geographic limitations. There is also the possibility that the exclusive
forum provision may discourage stockholder lawsuits with respect to matters arising under laws other than the federal securities laws,
or limit stockholders’ ability to bring such claims in a judicial forum that they find favorable for disputes with us and our officers
and directors. Alternatively, if a court were to find this exclusive forum provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of,
one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in
other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
Investors
in this offering may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to claims arising under the subscription agreements, which could result
in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any action under the agreements.
Investors
in this offering will be bound by the subscription agreements, each of which includes a provision under which investors waive the right
to a jury trial of any claim they may have against us arising out of or relating to the subscription agreement, including any claims
made under the federal securities laws.
If
we opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, a court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable based on the facts and
circumstances of that case in accordance with the applicable state and federal law. We believe that a contractual pre-dispute jury
trial waiver provision is generally enforceable, including under the laws of the State of Florida, which governs the subscription agreement,
in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Florida. In determining whether to enforce a contractual pre-dispute jury
trial waiver provision, courts will generally consider whether the visibility of the jury trial waiver provision within the agreement
is sufficiently prominent such that a party knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived the right to a jury trial. We believe that
this is the case with respect to the subscription agreement. You should consult legal counsel regarding the jury waiver provision before
entering into the subscription agreement.
If
you bring a claim against us in connection with matters arising under the subscription agreement, including claims under federal securities
laws, you may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to those claims, which may have the effect of limiting and discouraging lawsuits
against us. If a lawsuit is brought against us under the subscription agreement, it may be heard only by a judge or justice of the applicable
trial court, which would be conducted according to different civil procedures and may result in different outcomes than a trial by jury
would have had, including results that could be less favorable to the plaintiff(s) in such an action.
Nevertheless,
if the jury trial waiver provision is not permitted by applicable law, an action could proceed under the terms of the subscription agreement
with a jury trial. No condition, stipulation, or provision of the subscription agreement serves as a waiver by any holder of common shares
or by us of compliance with any provision of the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated under those laws.
In
addition, when shares of our Common Stock are transferred, the transferee is required to agree to all the same conditions, obligations
and restrictions applicable to those securities or to the transferor with regard to ownership of those securities, that were in effect
immediately prior to the transfer of the Common Stock, including but not limited to the subscription agreement. Therefore, purchasers
in secondary transactions will be subject to this provision.
Future
fundraising may affect the rights of investors.
In
order to expand, we are likely to raise funds again in the future, either by offerings of securities (including post-qualification amendments
to this offering) or through borrowing from banks or other sources. The terms of future capital raising, such as loan agreements, may
include covenants that give creditors greater rights over our financial resources.
Holders
of our Preferred Stock may be entitled to potentially significant liquidation preferences over holders of our Common Stock if we are
liquidated, including upon a sale of our company.
Holders
of our outstanding Preferred Stock may have liquidation preferences over holders of Common Stock being offered in this offering. This
liquidation preference is paid if the amount a holder of Preferred Stock would receive under the liquidation preference is greater than
the amount such holder would have received if such holder’s shares of Preferred Stock had been converted to Common Stock immediately
prior to the liquidation event.
Our
Common Stock is thinly traded.
Our
Common Stock trades on the OTC Markets. It has low daily trading volume and is thinly traded. While this may change as demand for our
services and Common Stock changes, there is no guarantee that adequate demand exists. Even if we seek an up-listing on the OTC Markets
or another alternative trading system or “ATS,” there may not be frequent trading and therefore a lack of liquidity for the
Common Stock.
You
will need to keep records of your investment for tax purposes.
As
with all investments in securities, if you sell the Common Stock, you will probably need to pay tax on the long- or short-term
capital gains that you realize if sold at a profit or set any loss against other income. If you do not have a regular brokerage account,
or your regular broker will not hold the Common Stock for you (and many brokers refuse to hold Regulation A securities for their customers)
there will be nobody keeping records for you for tax purposes and you will have to keep your own records, and calculate the
gain on any sales of any securities you sell.
The
price for our Common Stock may be volatile.
The
market price of our Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors,
many of which are beyond our control, including the following:
·
The size and volume of our trading market.
·
Having adequate capital to fulfill any reporting obligations.
·
Inability to successfully compete against current or future competitors
·
Adverse regulations from regulators.
·
Departures of key personnel.
In
addition, the securities markets have from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the
operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of
our securities. As a result, you may be unable to resell your securities at a desired price.
RISKS
SPECIFIC TO THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY
Regulation
is and licensing is very stringent.
The
State regulatory body in Florida is the Department of Children and Families (DCF). Facilities must comply with rigid guidelines to obtain
and continue to keep its licensing. In addition, many insurance companies will not pay a provider unless they are Joint Commission accredited.
This accreditation is by a national provider of accreditation to healthcare facilities. ARIA is both DCF licensed and Joint Commission
accredited. In addition, ARIA is legit script certified which allows the company to market itself through google pay per click advertising.
There are stringent guidelines to become legit script certified and ARIA has its certification form Legit Script. ARIA must comply with
all of the national healthcare laws and HIPPA requirements. There are national laws protecting individuals from patient brokering which
ARIA must strictly comply with.
Limited
Ability to Set Prices for Services Provided.
Behavioral
healthcare providers depend upon reimbursement for services from insurance companies and other funders, including government funders,
and have only a limited ability to set and negotiate prices for the services provided. Therefore, there is no guarantee that reimbursement
for the services provided will either meet the costs of providing them or generate an operating profit. In addition, providers must negotiate
reimbursement rates with each insurance company and funder, thus substantially increasing administrative costs and overhead.
Insurance
Companies and Funders Determine What Providers They Choose to Contract for Services.
Even
as a fully licensed behavioral healthcare provider, insurance companies and government funders are under no obligation whatsoever to
choose to use ARIA– or any other provider - as a contracted service provider. Insurance Companies and Funders choose providers
and may cancel contracts and service relationships at their discretion.
The
Need for Highly Differentiated, Customizable Treatment is Expensive.
Providing
effective behavioral healthcare requires clinical expertise to a diverse population with many different diagnoses, symptoms, needs, and
wants. Effective providers need to therefore offer a broad array of customizable treatment platforms and justify their effectiveness
to clients and funders alike. Customizing treatment and services is expensive, requiring providers to attract, retain, and train skilled
staff who are specialized in treating many specific disorders. Therefore, more staff and more expensive staff is required to treat a
diverse population, thereby increasing the cost of staffing and the cost of providing treatment.
Insurance
Companies Push for Lower Levels of Care and Shorter Stays.
Because
a provider recommends a particular level of care and treatment regimen does not equate to an insurance company or funder agreeing to
pay for the provider’s recommendation with respect to level of care, services and treatment needed, or length of stay. For the
past 25 years, managed care (insurance companies) has consistently pushed for lower levels of care with shorter stays. Insurance companies
consistently report they are not dictating treatment, but rather only authorizing the reimbursement of treatment they are willing to
pay for. In turn, providers must either spend more time and effort obtaining authorization for treatment, decline clients for further
treatment or refer them elsewhere or provide treatment without insurance reimbursement or only partial reimbursement, all of which result
in increased operating costs and/or decreased revenue and profitability.
Higher
Acuity Patients Are Managed at the Outpatient Level.
As
a result of insurance companies and funders pushing for lower levels of care and shorter stays (which reduce insurance companies’
reimbursement costs), providers are managing higher acuity patients at lower levels of care. Higher acuity patients require more staff
and better trained staff which increase operating expenses and present additional risk management challenges to the organization. These
operating realities add to administrative costs and management oversight responsibilities, and negatively impact the organization’s
ability to operate at a profit.
DILUTION
Dilution
means a reduction in value, control or earnings of the shares the investor owns.
Immediate
dilution
An
emerging growth company typically sells its shares (or grants options exercisable for its shares) to its founders and early employees
at a very low cash cost because they are, in effect, putting their “sweat equity” into the company. When the company seeks
cash investments from outside investors, like you, the new investors typically pay a much larger sum for their shares than the founders
or earlier investors, which means that the cash value of your stake is diluted because all the shares are worth the same amount, and
you paid more than earlier investors for your shares.
The
following table illustrates the per share dilution to new investors discussed above, assuming the sale of, respectively, $1,000,000.00,
$2,000,000.00, $4,000,000.00, and $5,000,000.00 of the shares offered for sale in this Offering (before our estimated offering expenses
of $50,000.00) and based on an offering price of $0.0012 per share($0.12 per Unit). The below table reflects the dilution based upon
each share of Common Stock sold instead of Units to better reflect the impact on investors:

Future
dilution
Another
important way of looking at dilution is the dilution that happens due to future actions by the company. The investor’s stake in
a company could be diluted due to the company issuing additional shares. In other words, when
the
company issues more shares, the percentage of the company that you own will go down, even though the value of the company may go up.
You will own a smaller piece of that company. This increase in number of shares outstanding could result from a stock offering (such
as an initial public offering, a subsequent Regulation A offering, a venture capital round, or angel investment), employees exercising
stock options, or by conversion of certain instruments (e.g., convertible bonds, preferred shares or warrants) into stock.
If
the company decides to issue more shares, an investor could experience value dilution, with each share being worth less than before,
and control dilution, with the total percentage an investor owns being less than before. There may also be earnings dilution, with a
reduction in the amount earned per share (though this typically occurs only if the company offers dividends, and most early-stage and
emerging growth companies are unlikely to offer dividends, preferring to invest any earnings into the company).
This
type of dilution might also happen upon conversion of convertible notes into shares. Typically, the terms of convertible notes issued
by emerging growth companies provide that note holders may be able to convert the balance of their convertible notes into shares at a
discounted price, or a premium is added to the note allowing for a higher principal balance to be converted into shares than was initially
invested. Either way, the holders of the convertible notes get more shares for their money than new investors. In the event that the
price drops below the offering price in this offering, the holders of the convertible notes will dilute existing equity holders, even
more than the new investors do, because they get more shares for their money. Investors should pay careful attention to the total amount
of the convertible notes that the company has issued (and may issue in the future), and the terms of those notes.
If
you are making an investment expecting to own a certain percentage of us or expecting each share to hold a certain amount of value, it’s
important to realize how the value of those shares can decrease by actions taken by us. Dilution can make drastic changes to the value
of each share, ownership percentage, voting control, and earnings per share.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We
seeking to raise up to $5 million in total. The company will raise the money through the sale of up to 4,166,666,660 shares of Common

We
are offering a maximum of 4,166,666,660 shares of Common Stock through the sale of 416,666,666 Units with each Unit containing 100 shares
of Common Stock on a “best effort” basis.

Jury
Trial Waiver
The
subscription agreement provides that subscribers waive the right to a jury trial of any claim they may have against us arising out of

Selling
Shareholders
No
securities are being sold for the account of shareholders; all net proceeds of this offering will go to the company.
USE
OF PROCEEDS TO ISSUER
We
estimate that if we sell the maximum amount under this Offering of $5 million from the sale of Common Stock through the sale of the Units,
the net proceeds to us in this offering will be approximately $4,550,000, after deducting the estimated offering expenses of approximately
$450,000.00 (including payment to marketing, legal and accounting professional fees and other expenses).
The
table below shows the net proceeds we would receive from this offering assuming an offering size of $1 million, $2 million and $5 million,
and the intended use of those proceeds. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in selling any of the shares we are offering.

We
anticipate acquisitions to be our largest expected expenditure. We are looking to acquire facilities to increase the number of patients
we can treat and expand the geographical footprint of our product offerings. These acquisition-related costs may consist of acquiring
ownership of facilities, leasing existing facilities, acquiring existing operations in areas, in which, we hope to expand our operations.
As our facilities and footprint expand, we expect to hire additional product development and quality assurance specialists. These employees
will assist with improving our ability to service the needs of our patients.
We
reserve the right to change the above use of proceeds if management believes it is in our best interest.
The
allocation of the net proceeds of the offering set forth above represents our estimates based upon our current plans, assumptions we
have made regarding the industry and general economic conditions and our future revenues (if any) and expenditures.

THE
COMPANY’S BUSINESS
Business
Model and Strategy
The
ARIA Business Model and Strategy has been developed through a critical examination of current industry best- practice practices, emerging
market trends, and the ARIA leadership team’s 12+ year track record of launching and operating successful addition treatment facilities.
The ARIA Business Model and Strategy is built on a secure foundation of six key fundamental factors and strategies.
The
Six ARIA Fundamental Business Model & Strategy Factors
|
1. |
ARIA
knows business and the business of behavioral health. Our skilled, multidisciplinary entrepreneurial leadership team has a proven
track record creating and operating profitable addiction treatment facilities, is currently running a 41-bed addiction treatment
facility providing five different levels of care delivering high-impact treatments and services. |
Clearly,
our primary service is expert behavioral health services for our clients, and that requires credentialed, experienced, and committed
healthcare professionals throughout the continuum of care. Our established competencies to select, hire, and retain exceptional staff
is central to our success and our Personnel Plan reflects the time, thought, and energy we have committed and provides us another competitive
advantage.
Our
expert medical and clinical team is one half of the ARIA success equation. The other factor in the equation is the staff needed to operate
the business side of the house. From marketing to billing, accounting to facility management, IT to human resources, the business and
administrative leaders and staff provide the critical business acumen to realize our growth, revenue, and income objectives.
Finally,
the ARIA business model demonstrates seamless integration, collaboration, and coordination across the entire organization. While our
clinical staff must focus and prioritize their clinical work, they do so with an understanding of the exigencies of our business model.
Similarly, administrative staff recognize our primary business is delivering behavioral healthcare services, and service delivery takes
precedence. Our organizational structure and core operating protocols support specialization of function while encouraging collaboration
and integration.
|

ARIA
is poised for rapid response in a diverse market with new opportunities. The market is primed for innovative, for-profit,
professional organizations that have the vision, resources, and expertise to meet the behavioral health needs of a changing population.
For example, recent researchi indicates a 445% overall increase in substance abuse treatment admissions for abuse of pain
relievers across the entire adolescent and adult spectrum, including older adults. |
Changes
in substance abuse usage patterns is just one of many examples. Consider other trends reported by leading epidemiological studies: (Oltmanns,
T. F. & Emery, R. E. (2015). Abnormal Psychology (8th ed.). Boston, MA: Pearson).
|
· |
In a given year, 18% of
adults have an anxiety disorder, 10% have a mood disorder, and 40% with one disorder have a comorbid disorder. |
|
· |
In a given year, 37% of
men and 20% of women ages 20 – 35 who use alcohol have moderate to severe alcohol- related symptoms and need treatment. But
less than one in four receive treatment. |
|
· |
Depression is the leading
cause of disability in the U.S. and worldwide, accounting for 10% of all disability. It’s expected to become an even greater
problem by 2022. |
|
· |
Younger people are experiencing higher rates of depression
than their predecessors and doing so at an earlier age. |
|
· |
The
incidence and prevalence of eating disorders, and particularly anorexia nervosa, are increasing for adolescent girls and young women.
Anorexia is more common among young women who are affluent, high users of media, and those who most strongly endorse mainstream American
culture and the culture of thinness. |
|
· |
By
2030, the aging population will result in an 80% increase in the number of people with behavioral health problems who need treatment. |
ARIA
is in the market at an auspicious time and is positioned to capitalize on today’s emerging market trends that will define the
sector for years to come.
|
3. |
ARIA
has identified and can leverage new revenue sources. Recent landmark legislative changes translate into more covered lives with more
reimbursable services. The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equality Act (MHPAEA) which became effective in 2010 and the Affordable
Care Act (ACA) which went into effect in 2013, means more reimbursable behavioral healthcare services can be provided to more people
with fewer limitations. The MHPAEA eliminates previous limitations and exclusions of behavioral healthcare reimbursement, and the
ACA has resulted in an additional 10 million insured Americans in less than a year. |
Significantly,
the demographic who most benefitted from the Affordable Care Act are adults ages 18 - 34, a significant, under-served segment of the
market that has historically had significant behavioral health care needs but who have often not engaged in services due to lack of insurance
and an inability to pay for care.
|
4. |
ARIA
has a seasoned leadership team coupled to a robust corporate structure. ARIA’s triarchic corporate infrastructure is designed
to leverage, seize, and realize market opportunities while delivering expert service. |
ARIA
has a world-class Marketing and Client Engagement Team able to attract, engage, and retain a multicultural and growing adolescent, adult,
and older adult client base. Our research-driven marketing plan intentionally targets the fastest growing segments of the behavioral
healthcare market: young adults and older adults (age 65+), while simultaneously reaching out to traditional and under-served segments
of the market. Our comprehensive marketing and sales plans leverage the reach, power, and impact of technology, social media, and cultural
trends to engage clients who otherwise may not seek or know how to access behavioral health services.
ARIA
has outsourced an expert Compliance Department solely dedicated to efficiently managing the legal, financial, and administrative complexities
inherent in today’s behavioral healthcare business and outsourced it billing function. Moreover, the leadership of our billing
company reports directly to Senior Management to both maximize revenues while ensuring every invoice is legal, correct the first time,
and in compliance with every regulatory requirement. By comparison, small “mom and pop” organizations often lack the legal
and technical know-how to manage billing, resulting in under- billing of some services, incorrect or overbilling of other services resulting
in costly fines and other legal ramifications, or both.
Effective
healthcare service delivery requires organizations to abide by governmental regulatory requirements; effectively negotiate, secure, and
manage multiple third-party payer contracts; and achieve diverse certification, licensure, and accreditation standards, all while providing
effective care and maximizing each available revenue stream.
Our
expert Billing and Compliance Department has the experience, knowledge, and tools needed to manage these complexities while ensuring
compliance, maximizing revenue, streamlining operations, and increasing cash flow.
ARIA
has established a multidisciplinary Service Delivery Team of expert behavioral healthcare professionals with a passion for delivering
high-impact, successful behavioral health services. We are in the people business and our commitment to and for people is deeply
imbedded throughout our mission, values, philosophy, service delivery model, and reflected through each and every aspect of our operations.
Our
commitment to people is evidenced by our ability to retract and retain clients, achieve successful client outcomes, offer staff a desirable
place of employment with long-term career opportunities, and create and sustain positive, collaborative, mutually rewarding relationships
with our investors, partners and stakeholders.
Finally,
our organizational infrastructure allows our Service Delivery Team to focus solely on providing expert services. We’ve pulled the
marketing and billing functions out of the facility level and positioned them at the corporate level so our on-site service deliver teams
can focus on delivering exceptional service. In contrast, existing corporate models of our competitors often intermingle the functions
of marketing, contract management, and service delivery, resulting in ambiguous lines of responsibility, conflicted priorities, and lackluster
outcomes.
|
5. |
ARIA
has an entrepreneurial spirit and is poised to respond to market opportunities when and where they occur. Small nonprofits and
“mom-and-pop” for-profits - which comprise the bulk of current providers – often lack the leadership skills, financial
resources, and business orientation to capitalize on emerging market trends. |
Significant
changes are occurring throughout the entire spectrum of the behavioral healthcare market. These changes are omnipresent and include:
|
· |
Regulatory,
licensing, and accreditation changes in standards of care; |
|
· |
Changes
in payment structures and third-party payer contracts, particularly as payers have increased focused on client outcomes. For example,
insurance companies expanding from fee-for-service structures to new paradigms including Select Risk Sharing approaches for episodic
treatments and Population Health Management approaches for chronic disease management; (American Hospital Association Trendwatch.
January 2012, p. 4). |
|
· |
Changes in legislation at the local, state, and national
level; |
|
· |
Changing population demographics; |
|
· |
Changing cultural values and views towards behavioral
health treatment; |
|
· |
Changing needs for new and additional types of treatment
and services. |
An
unintended consequence of the Gulf Wars is that the current generation of veterans are much more likely than their predecessors to have
behavioral health issues (i.e. PTSD, Substance Abuse, Anger Management, Depression, etc.) as a result of serving in combat and are also
more willing to engage in treatment. (Journal of Military Medicine, June 2010). The Veteran’s Administration is backlogged and
increasingly turning to competent external providers with expertise in treating PTSD and related behavioral health disorders. Providing
expert care to veterans is both a sound business opportunity and an opportunity to do the right thing and support our veterans.
For
many existing behavioral health organizations, market changes are experienced as threats or challenges beyond the organization’s
ability to respond. In addition, many nonprofit providers face significant governmental restrictions on where they can operate, the scope
and type of services they can provide, limitations on raising capital, and simply lack the financial and leadership resources required
to expand and penetrate new markets.
ARIA
is designed and structured specifically to detect and capitalize on new and emerging trends. The entrepreneurial spirit is in our DNA.
We
are not intimidated by changes in the marketplace. Rather, ARIA perceives market forces through the lens of opportunity. We see market
and social dynamics as reflectors of broader, sociocultural forces that serve as indicators towards unrealized opportunities to building
a strong, profitable enterprise with a national reach.
|
6. |
ARIA
has an exceptional service delivery platform. ARIA offers clients an innovative, research-based, compelling and holistic service
model which helps clients reach their potential and live fulfilled, productive lives. Traditional behavioral health services
are often rooted in a disease model that concentrates on reducing symptoms and decreasing the impact of mental illness and addictions,
with a message to clients that may well be summarized by the phrase “We’ll help you be less sick.” But being less
sick is not the same as being well and thriving, and in that difference is the power and potential of the ARIA Wellness Model. |
The
ARIA Wellness Model is built upon five pillars of wellness, with each pillar supporting every other pillar. To this end the ARIA Wellness
Model is both holistic and interdependent. The 5 Pillars of Wellness are:
Pillar
1 – The Action Pillar. Positive change occurs through action and measurable behavior changes.
Pillar
2 – The Fitness Pillar. Healthy bodies support healthy minds (and vice versa). ARIA places an emphasis on nutrition, exercise,
and fitness.
Pillar
3 – The Mind Pillar. Healthy minds need intellectual stimulation and resources to increase knowledge, insight, and problem-solving
skills.
Pillar
4 – The Emotional Pillar. Healthy and balanced psyches require emotional intelligence and healing. These processes can be supported
through practices such as yoga, meditation, and spiritual reflection.
Pillar
5 – The Social Pillar. We are social beings and need positive, healthy, supportive relationships.
PRODUCTS
AND SERVICES
ARIA
aims to develop world class centers of excellence in addiction treatment for adults. We specialize in the treatment of substance use
disorders. By working with doctors and researchers, we strive to develop better assessment and treatment modalities for the industry.
We operate the Addiction Recovery Institute of America (ARIA), a three story, 25,000 square foot, 41-bed addiction treatment facility
located in West Palm Beach, Florida.
ARIA
is equipped to provide a full spectrum of behavioral health care. Our continuum of care encompasses:
Inpatient
Medically Managed Detoxification treatment (IP Detox). Per the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), clients in IP Detox
are in an inpatient, medically managed setting for 5-10 days as they undergo detoxification that treats the physical and psychological
withdrawal symptoms of substance dependence.
IP
Detox services are physician led and supported by 24-hour, onsite nursing care. The need for IP Detox is based on the nature and type
of substances used and their duration, the client’s overall medical and psychological presentation, and the client’s previous
history with detoxification and substance abuse treatment programs. (Center for Substance Abuse Treatment. Detoxification and Substance
Abuse Treatment. Rockville (MD): Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (US); 2006. (Treatment Improvement Protocol
(TIP) Series, No. 45.) 2 Settings, Levels of Care, and Patient Placement. Available from: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK64109/).
Outpatient
Medically Managed Detoxification Treatment (OP Detox). OP Detox is similar to IP Detox, but is less restrictive and offered to
clients with less severe substance problems who present fewer risks for medical complications from detoxification. OP Detox services
are physician led and 24-hour nursing care is provided. Similar to IP Detox, OP Detox can last for 3-10 days, depending on the client’s
presentation and needs. (Ibid) Clients can reside in their own home or at a ARIA residence.
Partial
Hospital Programs (PHP). Clients participate in treatment 4-6 hours per day, 3-5 days per week, for several weeks or months while
living in their own home or in a ARIA residence. Treatment hours typically range from 15 – 30 hours per week.
PHP
programs provide a variety of best-practice individual and group therapies based upon clients’ diagnoses, needs, levels of functioning,
and individual treatment goals. (Center for Substance Abuse Treatment. Substance Abuse: Clinical Issues in Intensive Outpatient Treatment.
Rockville (MD): Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (US); 2006. (Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP) Series, No.
47.) Intensive Outpatient Treatment and the Continuum of Care. Available from: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK64088/). PHPs offer
clients a similar level of treatment offered in a traditional inpatient psychiatric setting, while being less restrictive and allowing
the client to live at home or in a residential setting, rather than a hospital setting.
PHPs
can be targeted to a specific demographic, for example older adults, or specific diagnoses such as polysubstance abuse or eating disorders.
Intensive
Outpatient Treatment (IOP). Clients engaged in IOPs attend treatment 2-3 hours per day, 3-5 days per week, often with minimum
length of treatment at 90 days. However, treatment duration can extend considerably longer, depending on the client’s progress
in treatment, needs, level of functioning, and individual treatment plan goals. Licensing standards may require a minimum of 9 hours
of treatment per week. (Ibid).-
IOP
is less restrictive than a PHP, which means clients can engage in additional activities, such as education, job training, full- and part-time
employment, nutrition and fitness programs, and other activities promoting health, wellness, growth, and personal productivity.
Outpatient
Treatment (OP). Outpatient treatment represents the lowest level of care and is least restrictive. Clients can participate in
OP treatment as often as 2-3 times per week or as little as bi-weekly or even once a month. Often OP treatment is used in a maintenance
capacity for clients who have completed detoxification, PHP, and IOP programs.
Medicare
regulations note that clients in OP behavioral treatment may be seen by psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, clinical social workers,
nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. (Medicare.gov (2014). Mental Health Care (Outpatient). Retrieved 12.19.15 at http://www.medicare.gov/coverage/outpatient-mental-health-care.html).
OP treatment can be provided for mental health disorders, substance abuse disorders, and co-occurring disorders.
INDUSTRY
OVERVIEW AND MARKET OPPORTUNITY
In
2014, Americans spent $239 billion on behavioral healthcare. This sizable market is growing at a compound rate of 7%, has been doing
so for 20 years, and is projected for similar growth for the next 20 years. (Acadia Healthcare Investor Presentation August 2014,
pp.12-14.) It is not only a large market, it can be a profitable one.
Leading
behavioral health providers consistently report attractive gross operating profits between 18% - 30%. (Acadia Healthcare Investor
Presentation August 2014, p. 11).
Investors
today are recognizing opportunities in behavioral health. Bain & Company’s Global Healthcare Private Equity Report 2014
(Bain & Company Global Healthcare Private Equity Report, 2014. pp. 6-7.) notes the market is generating “a great
deal of interest” because of robust organic growth, strong stock performance, and increasing activity in mergers and acquisitions,
most recently evidenced by Acadia Healthcare’s (backed by Waud Capital) October 2014 announcement of its $1.18 billion purchase
of CFC Health Group, Inc. (Bloomberg.com. Acadia Healthcare to Buy CRC Health in $1.18 Billion Deal. 10.29.14. Retrieved 12.1.14
at http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-10-29/acadia-healthcare-to-buy-crc-health-in-1-18-billion-deal.html).
A
Changing Behavioral Health Landscape
The
most significant problem in the behavioral healthcare market is its over-representation of small “mom-and-pop” providers
who lack both the business acumen and the specialized, evidence-based treatment offerings needed to meet the rising standards
of 21st century behavioral healthcare.
Unlike
many sectors dominated by large industry leaders, behavioral healthcare has historically been defined by its small, local providers.
In contrast, the $300 billion-dollar global pharmaceutical market’s 10 largest companies control over
$100
billion revenues, about 35% of the market. (WHO/Pharmaceutical 2014. Retrieved 12.5.14 at http://www.who.int/trade/glossary/story073/en/#).
In comparison, the combined annual revenues of the four largest U.S. behavioral health providers (including Acadia and CRC) are $2 billion
or about 1% of the $239 billion national market. (Acadia Healthcare Investor Presentation August 2014).
The
impact of a sector dominated by small, local providers has three distinct ramifications:
Lackluster
and under-defined service offerings. Effective behavioral healthcare requires the capacity to deliver specialized treatments for
many distinct substance abuse and mental health problems to a highly differentiated population. Small providers tend toward a “one-size-fits-all”
approach, lacking the bandwidth to provide a full spectrum of specialized treatment. Insurance companies, government regulators, and
clients are increasingly rejecting outmoded practices.
Lack
of business acumen from small and financially frail providers. Providing effective behavioral healthcare also requires business acumen.
Many small, struggling providers are run by recovering addicts or social workers, not businesspeople. While well-intentioned, their business
competencies and resources are inadequate to the task.
Increasing
scrutiny by insurance companies and regulators is driving consolidation. Insurance companies and governmental agencies increasingly
require behavioral healthcare providers to show evidence that their treatment works. Providers need to be able to provide expert treatment
and then measure and report results. Small providers often lack the capacity to do so.
Therefore,
the market is primed for consolidation. The American Hospital Association (American Hospital Association Trendwatch. January 2012.)
projects consolidation for the entire behavioral health sector continuing well into the foreseeable future. Providers unable to perform
will be driven out. Savvy, competent providers will move in to fill the gaps. These realities are driving private equity interest in
behavioral health.
Market
Growth: More People Need Behavioral Healthcare and More Can Pay for It
The
growing behavioral health market is driven by increasing numbers of people who need and want behavioral healthcare.
|
· |
Behavioral health disorders
affect 25% or 75 million Americans each year. Only about half who need treatment receive it. (ibid). |
|
· |
20% of adolescents have a severe behavioral health
disorder. (Oltmanns, T. F. & Emery, R. E. (2015). Abnormal Psychology (8th ed.). Boston, MA: Pearson). |
|
· |
20% of returning Veterans from the Gulf Wars have PTSD.
(Journal of Military Medicine, June 2010). |
|
· |
By 2030, the aging population
will result in an 80% increase in the number of people with behavioral health problems who need treatment. (U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services. A Profile of Older Americans, 2012). |
In
addition, recent legislative changes have resulted in 10 million additional insured Americans with behavioral healthcare coverage. And,
the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equality Act (MHPAEA) of 2008 removed barriers by ending arbitrary caps on behavioral health treatment.
MARKETING
With
several unique but similar revenue sources, there are different marketing strategies that overlap with each other. ARIA is creating a
marketing strategy for each revenue classification. ARIA will utilize multiple medias to target and reach a diverse customer base, including
internet, social media, newspapers, and national media.
At
the center of the ARIA Marketing Strategy is a three-pronged marketing strategy that reaches three unique customer groups. The three
groups are:
|
· |
Clients and Family Members:
ARIA end users. |
|
· |
Insurance Companies
and Funders: Those entities, particularly insurance companies and government funders, who are primary payers of behavioral healthcare
services. |
|
· |
Community Partners:
Critical referral sources who are able to direct clients to ARIA for behavioral healthcare treatment. |
The
ARIA Marketing Orientation and Strategy
1.
Provide Clients and Families a Simple, User-Friendly Engagement Experience with Fast Access to Excellent Treatment
Clients
and families who are in crisis and experiencing chaos because of acute behavioral health issues are often tense, frustrated, upset, impatient,
and often not thinking very clearly. People are simply not at their best - and often their worst. Therefore, the responsibility falls
upon our professional, trained staff to de-escalate, engage clients and families, and provide a simple and helpful way to get help.
By
definition, being in crisis is the experience of being out of control. Therefore, ARIA’s ability to provide a calm, helpful client
engagement and intake experience de-escalates crises and empowers people to regain needed self-control. In fact, that is the first step
in treatment. From the point of entry our clients and families experience our respect, competencies, and expert care as we build the
foundation for positive relationships and treatment outcomes.
Delays
to start treatment, complicated paperwork and confusing instructions are all factors which reduce the possibility of the client ever
even beginning treatment. Our knowledgeable Intake and Client Engagement Team create a pleasant and helpful experience to our clients
and families. Because we are already an in-network provider with many major insurance companies, treatment approvals are expedited.
Our
experience in behavioral healthcare, along with supporting evidence and performance improvement initiatives, demonstrates that the longer
clients have to wait to begin treatment, the less likely they are to do so. Particularly
for those seeking detoxification services, when clients must delay treatment, they are more likely to continue using, increase their
use, or simply give up on treatment completely.
Integrated,
User-Friendly Access Routes for Clients and their Families
|
1. |
Our website and social
media sites are easy to navigate and free of technical jargon, clearly describe what we do and for whom, and provide easy access
for clients and families to get information and begin treatment. Clients can make intake appointments online, chat online with an
intake specialist, leave a message for us, or call us and speak in-person with a knowledgeable Intake Specialist. |
|
2. |
Our
central information, referral, and intake telephone number is answered by a trained and knowledgeable Intake Specialist who can answer
questions, de-escalate a crisis, and immediately initiate the client intake process, either over the phone or by scheduling a same-day
in-person intake appointment. |
|
3. |
Our
on-site Walk-in Access Center staffed by our Intake Specialists can immediately respond to client’s needs and begin the intake
process. Once clients are approved for treatment, they can begin treatment the same day or by the next business day. |
|
4. |
For
clients who need help getting to us, our Client Intake and Engagement Team will arrange transportation to our facility within a 25-mile
radius at no charge to the client. |
2.
Demonstrate Competence and Credibility to Insurance Companies and Government Funders Insurance Companies Want Trustworthy, Business-Minded
Behavioral Health Providers
Insurance
companies want in-network providers who are business-minded and provide quality care. While a client receives treatment, payment for
most of the costs of the treatment is coming from the client’s insurance company. Insurance companies prefer working with business-minded
providers who evidence quality care, submit accurate and timely bills that adhere to agreed-upon authorizations, and have a discharge
plan that maximizes the client’s outcome and reduces the likelihood for further treatment. Increasingly, insurance companies are
requiring evidence-based treatment that maximize positive client outcomes.
In
addition, insurance companies are also an important ARIA referral source and an important aspect of our overall growth plan. Frequently,
clients, families, and providers contact insurance companies in order to know where to direct someone into treatment. Insurance companies
are then going to refer their customers to providers who they know and trust. Therefore, we prioritize creating a mutually beneficial,
collaborative relationship with every insurance company.
Government
Agencies Want Providers Who Evidence the Competence to Deliver Care
Government
funders and licensing bodies want providers who meet all regulatory requirements, provide quality care, and uphold public trusts. Government
agencies, as both regulatory bodies and also as funders, are increasingly placing higher demands upon providers, both in their ability
to deliver quality, evidence-based-care, but also requiring the provider to demonstrate positive, client outcomes.
|
3. |
Build a Comprehensive
Referral Network with the Community |
In
addition to engaging clients and families to initiate treatment, it is of equal importance for ARIA’s marketing strategy to identify,
target, and build positive, mutually rewarding relationships with diverse members of the community who serve as our referral sources.
The nature of this relationship is best described by the term partnership, where each party actively supports and enhances the
other.
In
addition, more formalized relationships, for example, with hospitals, community agencies, and governmental bodies may utilize signed
Letters of Intent (LOIs) in which specific terms of the relationships between ARIA and the community partner are agreed upon,
signifying the breadth and depth of the relationship and providing mechanisms to better share information and collaborate (for
example, a hospital that has patients sign Release of Information forms for ARIA in advance so the hospital can provide otherwise
confidential client information directly
to ARIA for an expedited referral). While there may be an almost limitless and ever-expanding base of community referral sources and
partners, several have particular salience to the ARIA marketing plan. These include:
Primary
Care Providers (PCPs). Primary care providers know their patients well, observe changes in patient functioning, and/or may be the
first to observe the onset of a disorder or worsening symptoms and impaired functioning of an already diagnosed behavioral health disorder.
Research evidences that 50% of all behavioral health disorders are treated in primary care and the majority of psychotropic medications
are prescribed by PCPs. Considering ARIA’s continuum of care (adolescents, adults, and older adults), ARIA’s relationships
with PCPs would also include pediatricians and gerontologists.
Although
primary care providers (PCPs) are treating many behavioral health disorders, this should not be interpreted that there are not unmet
behavioral health needs or that individual PCPs want to treat behavioral disorders.
A
PCP’s decision to treat a patient’s behavioral health problems may likely reflect a gap in available behavioral health services,
a lack of knowledge on the part of the PCP of what behavioral health resources are available, a lack of expertise by the PCP in what
is required to accurately assess, diagnose, and treat a patient’s behavioral health disorder, and resistance by patients to enter
behavioral health services (often based in the stigma associated with behavioral health conditions).
Hospital
Emergency Departments (ED) and Urgent Care Centers. Because of gaps in service and long delays in obtaining outpatient appointments,
potential behavioral healthcare clients increasingly present in hospital emergency departments and urgent care centers to seek behavioral
health care services, often because they do not know where else to go or little else is available. While about one fourth of hospitals
have acute psychiatric inpatient services, many do not have the continuum of behavioral health services ARIA provides, especially residential
services. Moreover, the majority of ED patients neither need nor want acute inpatient care, nor do they meet the criteria for it. Studies
indicate as many as 50% of behavioral health clients are first diagnosed in EDs. ED staff are often desperate to find appropriate referral
services, which is required as part of the patient’s discharge plan from the ED.
Inpatient
Psychiatric Facilities. Although the majority of hospitals do not offer acute inpatient psychiatric care, for those who do, patients
consistently require follow-up outpatient care upon discharge from the inpatient unit. Many hospitals have either no or limited outpatient
behavioral health services and thus must refer to local providers. The hospital inpatient staff, and particularly psychiatric social
workers, are held responsible to create a discharge plan that must include appropriate follow-up care, including residential services.
Collaborative, mutually beneficial relationships between ARIA and area inpatient psychiatric units offers significant opportunities for
ongoing referrals and improved client outcomes.
Private
Third-Party Payers (Insurance Companies). The ARIA plan includes being a contracted in-network behavioral healthcare provider to
50% of all clients. Increasingly, insurance companies, and particularly HMOs and PPOs, refer their clients directly to contracted in-network
behavioral health providers. Such referrals have an additional advantage of having a pre-approved reimbursement status for ARIA’s
assessment and diagnostic services. Additionally, because the costs of providing medically managed detox, partial hospitalization, and
outpatient services are dramatically less expensive than acute inpatient psychiatric care, the less restrictive and expensive continuum
of care ARIA provides is cost- effective and attractive to funders.
Social
Service and Community Organizations. Because people with significant behavioral health disorders are likely to have other impairments
in functioning, they are more likely to be affiliated with social service providers and using social services. Therefore, the ARIA market
segment strategy encompasses building collaborative relationships with key social service organizations, including:
Child
Protective Services. Often, families become involved with child protective services because of a parent’s mental illness or
substance abuse problem that results in poor parenting or threatens a child’s safety or care. Child protective services and their
affiliated, contracted social service organizations (e.g. foster care providers) are frequently seeking behavioral health services for
parents so children can either stay at home or return home.
Aging,
Elder Care Services, Nursing Homes, and Retirement Communities. When older adults are having difficulties caring for themselves and
remaining independent due to dementia and other related behavioral health conditions, behavioral health services are often needed. However,
geriatric behavioral health resources are frequently not available. And as previously stated, due to both Florida’s high proportion
of older adults and the overall trend towards and aging population, older adult healthcare needs are projected to significantly increase
for the next several decades.
Welfare,
Homeless, and Employment Services. Because behavioral health problems result in impaired functioning, those with these problems are
less likely to be working, more likely to be poor, and more likely to need and receive social services. Social workers and case workers
providing direct care to these clients often can assess and help the client get to and receive needed behavioral health services. In
turn, ARIA can refer clients to social service agencies as part of their rehabilitation and recovery process.
Community
Organizations. Local churches, synagogues, community centers, AA/NA groups, and advocacy organizations such as the National Alliance
for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) all have significant contact with those in need of behavioral health services. All are potential referral
sources.
Schools
and Academic Institutions. Again, our objective is to be known to those who know and work with our clients. For adolescents and college
students, schools and academic institutions often have more in-depth and frequent contact with young people than their families. Moreover,
students may disclose thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to trusted school personnel that they may not disclose to parents. Therefore,
these organizations, and especially professional staff such as guidance counselors, principals, and faculty may be more apt to observe
a change in a student’s behavior and seek to intervene on their behalf.
Our
objective is to create collaborative relationships that are beneficial to the client, the school, and in turn, ourselves. For example,
it is important for students to remain current in their studies while in treatment, so our adolescent behavioral health programs provide
mechanisms for students to receive homework assignments, tutoring, and opportunities to submit their school work on a timely basis.
The
Criminal Justice System. In the U.S., it is estimated that between 25% - 40% of those involved with the criminal justice system have
behavioral health problems. While very significant, even these statistics may be too conservative. A 2011 Legal Action Report provides
evidence that 67% of incarcerated individuals have a substance abuse disorder. (Legal Action Report 2011. Legality of Denying Access
to Medication Assisted Treatment In the Criminal Justice System). Increasingly, states are moving to specialized drug courts
which offer opportunities for substance abuse and behavioral health treatment for young offenders and first time drug offenders in lieu
of incarceration. Parole boards and probation officers are increasingly seeking behavioral health services to reduce recidivism and improve
outcomes.
The
state of Florida has two new programs as part of SAMHSA’s GAIN’s Center for Behavioral Health and Justice Transformation
as part of its Jail Diversion and Trauma Recovery Program (with a priority for Veterans). These programs managed by Florida’s Jail
Diversion and Trauma Recover Project and the Florida Department of Children and Families. (Florida Department of Children and Families
(2014). Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Plan 2014-2016).
Provide
Community Referral Sources a Pleasant, Expedited, and Professional Referral Experience. Referrals we receive from other professionals,
and especially our key community partners, are handled by our professional and courteous ARIA Client Engagement Team. Whether the referral
source is a hospital, doctor, school, or an insurance company, the professional ARIA Client Engagement Team ensures a smooth, efficient,
and pleasant referral experience.
Similar
to our policy with clients who seek admission on their own behalf, our practice is to create a fast, efficient pathway to engage the
client and offer treatment the same day or the next business day. Fast admissions are especially important to EDs, urgent care centers,
and hospital inpatient units, because hospital and medical staff are under pressure to discharge the patient quickly and with
an appropriate discharge plan.
Our
marketing strategy to target and engage key community partners reflects our knowledge of the business of behavioral health, the operational
realities of healthcare practice, and an insider’s knowledge of the pressures our community partners face. Our objective is
to be the behavioral healthcare solution for our community partner’s with a simple, quick, and professional referral process where
we can quickly accept clients and clients can quickly begin treatment. Professionals and the public at-large are all too familiar with
cumbersome bureaucracies,
overly-complicated processes, and unhelpful people. We have a passion for excellence in customer service and that passion is made manifest
at the point of entry and throughout the ARIA experience. For this reason, we have intentionally positioned our Client Engagement Team
in our Marketing Department.
Our
experience in behavioral healthcare has shown that competent, responsive behavioral healthcare providers who create a quick and pleasant
referral process get more referrals. Our objective is to be the go-to behavioral health provider to our referral sources and community
partners. In doing so, we leverage technology to expedite referrals and offer transportation to bring the client to us.

Identify Emerging Trends, Innovate, and Act. |
The
market segmentation analysis leverages rich data from multiple sources: business sector analytics, epidemiological studies, public health
and governmental reports, and scientific, published clinical studies to clearly describe and identify the characteristics and needs of
specialized target markets. For example, three recent emerging trends are burgeoning needs for behavioral health treatment for returning
veterans, increased need for substance abuse treatment for older adults with prescription drug dependencies, and increased needs for
mental health services for older adults.
The
ARIA market segmentation analysis accomplishes two core objectives. The ARIA market segmentation analysis demonstrates both what markets
and segments we identify and target, but also the process of how we determine what markets to identify and target. A critical
aspect of intelligent, responsive behavioral healthcare practice is the capacity to harness and leverage scientific research and epidemiological
data to identify emerging trends, act on them, and achieve growth and income objectives.
One
emerging trend is an aging population with increasing behavioral healthcare needs. Although the Florida has the highest proportion of
adults aged 65+ in the United States, the aging population is impacting many states.
Another
factor in market segmentation analysis is to identify trends in income. The healthcare analytics firm Sg2 notes FY 2014 Medicare payment
increases of 2% for inpatient admissions, 6% for psychiatrists, and 8% for clinical psychologists and social workers. (Sg2 Centers for
Strategic planning and Performance Strategy (2014). Reconsidering Behavioral Health).
Not
only are Medicare reimbursements rising, so are state budgets for mental health spending, including Florida’s 2015 budget.
Finally,
the data on the again U.S. population evidences that the emerging trend is going to gain momentum in the near future. The ARIA market
segmentation analysis provides the foundation for our marketing plan. It provides:
|
· |
The breadth and depth of
specific behavioral health problems (categories and types of diagnoses and disorders). |
|
· |
Demographics of a problem, diagnosis, or disorder (e.g.
age, gender, socioeconomic status). |
|
· |
The level of treatment
and range of services appropriate to the person and the disorder (e.g. medically managed detox versus partial hospitalization). |
Emerging
trends ARIA reflect gaps in the current healthcare system. These emerging trends point towards high-demand services that are scalable
and demonstrate significant growth and income potential. The ARIA business model and structure is strategically designed to identify
emerging trends, service gaps, and market opportunities and respond to them with high-impact, evidenced-based services which are attractive
to clients and payers alike.
|
5. |
Provide Specialized Services that Match Client Needs
and Leverage Clinical Competencies |
It
is unlikely that any one behavioral healthcare provider can effectively provide treatment to every person with every type of behavioral
healthcare need. Therefore, identifying what services are provided and to whom becomes an essential aspect of the ARIA business plan.
The ARIA market segmentation analysis provides many valuable insights to our service delivery models and processes.
First,
ARIA has identified six levels of care we will initially provide: Medically managed detox (both inpatient and outpatient), residential
services, partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient, and outpatient services. These six levels for care coupled with targeted
treatment modalities and services provide an excellent continuum where a client can begin at higher levels of care and graduate to lower
levels of care as they progress and reach interim treatment goals.
For
example, a client entering ARIA with cocaine and alcohol dependence would begin in our medically managed detox program, then move into
our residential services where he could continue treatment in our partial hospitalization program. When those treatment goals are realized
and the client continues to improve, the client remains in our residential services and again graduates to the intensive outpatient program,
in clinical terms representing a less structured, lower level of care. While in our intensive outpatient program, the client has further
opportunities to increase participation in wellness activities, such as physical fitness, nutrition, or education and job training opportunities.
Finally,
as the client continues to achieve these treatment and wellness goals, the client may again graduate to our outpatient program, with
the objective of returning to the community at-large and realizing one’s human potential. Clients are welcomed and encouraged to
continue on an ongoing basis in outpatient services in a maintenance capacity, both as a prophylactic to mitigate the possibility of
future setbacks and relapses and also as a positive impetus for continued personal growth and well- being.
Research
on substance abuse outcomes evidence increased amount of treatment (higher levels of care such as partial hospitalization programs and
intensive outpatient treatment) and greater frequency of treatment and aftercare counseling are associated with improved client outcomes
(Oltmanns & Emery, 2015 citing Amato et. al, 2011; Glasner-Edwards & Rawson, 2010). In addition, positive long-term outcomes
for substance abuse evidence that “improvements following treatment are usually not limited to drug use alone but extend to the
person’s health as well as his or her social and occupational functioning” (Oltmanns & Emery, 2015, p. 312). This is
yet another example of the science-driven ARIA Wellness Model crafted from important, recent evidenced-based research.
Because
the ARIA medically managed detoxification program represents our highest level of care, providing clinically appropriate follow-up services
to initial detoxification is critical. Clinical and epidemiological studies provide evidence as to what providers may encounter when
providing substance abuse treatment. According to a 2011 study on gender differences in substance abuse disorders in the U.S. across
the lifespan (Agrawal, Heath, & Lynskey, 2011), data reveal the following:
|
· |
26%
of men aged 20 – 35 have moderate substance dependency symptoms and 11% of men in this age group have severe substance dependency
symptoms. |
|
· |
By
comparison, for the same 20 – 35 age group, 12% of women have moderate substance dependency symptoms and 4% have severe substance
dependency symptoms. (Note: Whether the symptoms are identified as moderate or severe, both would meet the diagnostic criteria of
substance dependency and are appropriate for treatment). |
|
· |
However,
from the ages of 36 – 47, gender differences diminish, with 5% of men having severe symptoms compared to 3% of women. |
Additionally,
further research evidences:
|
· |
Alcohol-related disorders
are the most common forms of mental disorder in the U.S. |
|
· |
In
the U.S., 20% of all men and women who have ever used alcohol will develop serious problems at some point in the lives as a consequence
of prolonged alcohol consumption (Oltmanns & Emery, 2015). This phenomenon has been supported by various studies for at least
25 years and appears to be ongoing. |
|
· |
The National Epidemiologic
Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (2006) notes a lifetime prevalence rate of 30% for alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence
for men and women. |
|
· |
Only 24% of men and women diagnosed with alcohol dependence
have ever received treatment for it. |
|
· |
Men and women who began
drinking before the age of 14 have a rate of alcoholism about double of those who began drinking at age 18. |
In
addition, there are several common comorbid disorders frequently associated with substance abuse disorders. These include:
|
· |
Mood disorders such as
major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder. |
|
· |
Anxiety disorders, including
obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorders, and generalized anxiety disorders. |
|
· |
Traumatic
disorders, such as PTSD (a particularly prevalent an increasing phenomenon for veteran with combat- based PTSD). And again, Florida
has the third largest population of veterans in the U.S., following California and Texas. |
|
· |
Eating disorders such as
anorexia in adolescent girls and young women. |
|
· |
Conduct disorders in adolescents. |
Therefore,
efficacious treatment of substance disorders clearly speaks to the need for and the competencies to treat mood disorders, anxiety disorders,
traumatic disorders, eating disorders in adults and adolescents, and conduct disorders in adolescents. Moreover, specific diagnoses and
disorders require specific treatment modalities, ranging from behavioral treatments, to cognitive-behavioral treatments, psychopharmacological
treatments, and integrative treatment approaches. These specialized treatments draw upon the training, skills, and experience of an expert
clinical team able to provide specialized, targeted treatments to meet individual needs and goals.

Competition
There
are a significant number of treatment facilities in the United States, we compete with these clinics for patients who are typically covered
by insured healthcare services. Given the growth of the number of individuals needing services, money and commitments flowing from governments
and private insurers and services to provide treatment, there is ample opportunity, but also significant potential competition in the
treatment area. Aside from specialized facilities, large hospital chains may also see the opportunity to broaden their respective offerings
and enter into the addiction treatment marketplace by leveraging their networks and infrastructure.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Cash
used in operating activities was $85,567 and $101,970 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively a decrease of $16,403
or 16.1%. The decrease is primarily due to the following:
●
|
The
increase in net loss of $4.7 million, as discussed above. |
●
|
The
increase in non-cash movements of $5.31 million, primarily due to the movement on the gain on debt extinguishment of $12.6 million,
the increase in the movement on the amortization of debt discount of $1,1 million, and the increase in the movement of fair value
of warrants granted of $0.9 million, offset by the net movement in derivative liabilities of $9.1 million. |
●
|
The
absorption of cash into working capital of $0.6 million during the current year, primarily due to the acquisition of Evernia and
ATHI on July 1, 2021. |
Cash
used in investing activities was $0.6 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We invested
$0.5 million (2020 - $0.7 million) in the Evernia treatment facility based in West Palm Beach, prior to acquisition. We also purchased
property and equipment of $0.1million, primarily to support the Evernia operation during the current year.
Cash
generated by financing activities was $0.6 million and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 200, respectively. During
the current year we raised $1.2 million and repaid $0.5 million in convertible notes, primarily to fund the Evernia operations.
Over
the next twelve months we estimate that the company will require approximately $6.5 million in funding to repay its obligations, if these
obligations are not converted to equity and for funding working capital as we continue to seek opportunities for addiction treatment
in the US markets. 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 high.
For
the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.

Rent expense was $114,717
and $87,874 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $26,843 or 30.5%. The increase in
rental is due to additional rental expense incurred on apartments used to house additional patients as the business expands. |

Trend
Information
The
behavioral and addiction treatment market is growing rapidly as communities and governments grapple with opioid and other substance abuse
addiction. Usage of services has also grown as insurance coverage of addiction and behavioral treatments become more on par with other
health treatments and services provided by service professionals.
As
issues regarding opioid and other substance uses grow, funding and urgency to treat these issues will become more paramount to governments,
individuals and their insurance providers.
Impact
of COVID-19
In
March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, which continues to spread
throughout the United States. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around the duration. This
has put certain pressures on the, among other things, the availability of certain medical supplies and professionals that we may need
to conduct our operations successfully. Depending on the overall length of the disruption and the severity of the impact on the healthcare
providers, this trend may prove to be temporary. The ultimate financial impact on us cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Ethema Health Corporation
West
Palm Beach, Florida
Opinion
on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ethema Health Corporation (the Company) at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and
the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows
for each of the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years ended December
31, 2021 and 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis
for Opinion
The
accompanying 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 audits. 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 audits 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 audits, 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
audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described
in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has accumulated deficit of approximately $43.5 million and negative working
capital of approximately $12.7 million at December 31, 2022, 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 4. The consolidated financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Critical
Audit Matters
The
critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements
that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are
material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The
communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole,
and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the
accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Accounting
for Embedded Conversion Features on Convertible Notes – Refer to Notes 11 and 17 to the Financial Statements
The
principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of derivatives is a critical audit
matter are the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value of the derivative liabilities. This in turn led to a
high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions
related to the valuation models used and related variable inputs used within those models.
Addressing
the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated
financial statements. These procedures included testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate; evaluating
the appropriateness of the valuation techniques; testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the model; and evaluating
the significant assumptions used by management, including the values of expected volatility and discount rate. Evaluating management’s
assumptions related to the volatility amounts and discount rates involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were
reasonable considering the current and historical performance, the consistency with external market and industry data, and whether these
assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

Nature of business
Since
2010, the Company has operated addiction treatment centers. Initially the Company operated an addiction treatment center in Ontario Canada
under its Greenestone Muskoka clinic, which was sold on February 14, 2017. Simultaneously with this sale the Company purchased buildings
and operated an addiction treatment center in Delray Beach Florida under its Addiction recovery Institute of America subsidiary with
a license obtained in December 2016, initially though owned properties in Delray Beach and subsequently though leased properties in West
Palm Beach, Florida. Since June 30, 2020, the Company has been actively involved in the management of a treatment center operated by
Evernia in West Palm Beach Florida. On July 1, 2021, the Company closed on the acquisition of 75% of ATHI, which owns 100% of Evernia,
once the probationary approval of a license was obtained from the Department of Children and Family Services of Florida. Evernia is the
only active treatment center operated by the Company.
The
Company also owns the real estate on which its Greenstone Muskoka clinic operated. The current tenant operates an addiction treatment
center on these premises. The Company collects rent on this property, which is treated as a separate business segment.

Summary of significant accounting policies
Financial
Reporting
The
Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (“US GAAP”).
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.
a)
Use of Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
b)
Principals of consolidation and foreign currency translation
The
accompanying 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. |
|
● |
Certain
non-monetary assets and liabilities and equity at historical rates. |
|
● |
Revenue
and expense items and cash flows at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the year. |
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).

b) |
Principals of consolidation and
foreign currency translation (continued) |
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 year.
The
relevant translation rates are as follows: For the year ended December 31, 2022, a closing rate of CDN$1 equals US$0.7383 and an average
exchange rate of CDN$1 equals US$0.7686, for the year ended December 31, 2021, a closing rate of CDN$1.0000 equals US$0.7888 and an average
exchange rate of CDN$1.0000 equals US$0.7977.
c)
Business Combinations
The
Company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed for
business combinations with third parties based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration
over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill.
Such
valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant
estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired users, acquired
technology, and trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management's estimates of fair value
are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results
may differ from estimates.
d)
Cash and cash equivalents
For
purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months
or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with several financial institution
in the USA and Canada. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2022 and 2021.
The
Company primarily places cash balances in the USA with high-credit quality financial institutions located in the United States which
are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to a limit of $250,000 per institution, in Canada which are insured by the
Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation up to a limit of CDN$100,000 per institution.
e)
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.

Summary of significant accounting
policies (continued) |
f)
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, Contractual and Other Discounts
The
Company derives the majority of its revenues from commercial payors at in-network rates. Management estimates the allowance for contractual
and other discounts based on its historical collection experience and contractual rates. 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.
g)
Property and equipment
Property
and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the straight line basis over the estimated life of the asset.
h)
Intangible assets
Intangible
assets are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization, if applicable, less any adjustments for impairment losses.
Amortization
is charged on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining useful lives of the individual intangibles. Where intangibles are deemed
to be impaired the Company recognizes an impairment loss measured as the difference between the estimated fair value of the intangible
and its book value.
Licenses
to provide substance abuse rehabilitation services are amortized over the expected life of the contract, including any anticipated renewals.
The Company expects its licenses to remain in operation for a period of five years.
i)
Leases
The
Company accounts for leases in terms of AC 842 whereby leases are classified as either finance 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 finance leases. At
the time a finance lease is entered into, an asset is recorded together with its related long-term obligation to reflect the acquisition
and financing. Property and equipment recorded under finance leases is amortized on the same basis as described above. Operating leases
are recognized on the balance sheet as a lease liability with a corresponding right of use asset for all leases with a term that is more
than twelve months. Payments under operating leases are expensed as incurred.
j)
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 previously used 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 were 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.

k)
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 consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
l)
Related parties
Parties
are considered to be related to the Company if the parties directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled
by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members
of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if
one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting
parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all related party transactions. All
transactions are recorded at fair value of the goods or services exchanged.
m)
Revenue recognition
ASC
606 requires companies to exercise more judgment and recognize revenue using a five-step process.
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 consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
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.

m) |
Revenue recognition (continued) |
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 does 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 inpatient facilities and cost
settlement provisions. Management estimates the transaction price on a payor-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
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 receivables were $337,074 and $176,011 at
December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Management believes that these receivables are properly stated and are not likely
to be settled for a significantly different amount.
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. 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. |
n)
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 consolidated
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.

Income taxes (continued) |
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 2019, through 2021 are subject to audit or review by the US
tax authorities, whereas fiscal 2011 through 2021 are subject to audit or review by the Canadian tax authority.
o)
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 year.
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).
p)
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, 2022 and 2021 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 no awards with performance conditions and no awards dependent on market conditions.
q)
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, 2022 and 2021.
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 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.

Financial instruments Risks (continued) |
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 approximately $12.7 million, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $43.5 million.
The Company is 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 that of the prior year.
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.
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 interest rate risk on its convertible debt, mortgage loans, short term loans, third party loans
and government assistance loans as of December 31, 2022. In the opinion of management, interest rate risk is assessed as moderate.
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, however net
earnings in foreign currency is minimal and a 5% depreciation or appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar would result
in an immaterial 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 that of the prior year.
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.

Recent accounting pronouncements
The
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued additional updates during the year ended December 31, 2022. None of
these standards are either applicable to the Company or require adoption at a future date and none are expected to have a material impact

Adoption of ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU
simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in ASC 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion
and Other Options, for convertible instruments. The ASU updates the guidance on certain embedded conversion features that are not required
to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted
for as paid-in capital, such that those features are no longer required to be separated from the host contract. The convertible debt
instruments will be accounted for as a single liability measured at amortized cost. This will also result in the interest expense recognized
for convertible debt instruments to be typically closer to the coupon interest rate when applying the guidance in Topic 835, Interest.
Further, the ASU made amendments to the EPS guidance in Topic 260 for convertible debt instruments, the most significant impact of which
is requiring the use of the if-converted method for diluted EPS calculation, and no longer allowing the net share settlement method.
The ASU also made revisions to Topic 815-40, which provides guidance on how an entity must determine whether a contract qualifies for
a scope exception from derivative accounting. The amendments to Topic 815-40 change the scope of contracts that are recognized as assets
or liabilities. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Adoption of the ASU can either
be on a modified retrospective or full retrospective basis.
On
January 1, 2022, the Company adopted the ASU using the modified retrospective method. We recognized a cumulative effect of initially
applying the ASU as an adjustment to the January 1, 2022 opening balance of accumulated deficit, an adjustment to the convertible note
balance outstanding and the elimination of the derivative liability balance at January 1, 2022.
The
prior period consolidated financial statements have not been retrospectively adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting
standards in effect for those periods.
Accordingly,
the cumulative effect of the changes made on our January 1, 2022 consolidated balance sheet for the adoption of the ASU was as follows:

The
impact of adoption on our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 was to reduce discount amortization
by $47,439 and to eliminate any mark-to-market movements on derivative liabilities as the conversion features of convertible notes and
warrants no longer qualify as derivative liabilities.

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. At December
31, 2022 the Company has a working capital deficiency of $12.7 million, and total liabilities in excess of assets in the amount of $8.8
million . 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 as a going concern.

On
June 30, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement whereby the Company agreed to acquire 51% of American Treatment Holdings, Inc. (“ATHI”)
from The Q Global Trust (“Seller”) and Lawrence B Hawkins (“Hawkins”), which in turn owns 100% of Evernia Health
Services LLC. (“Evernia”), which operates drug rehabilitation facilities. The consideration for the acquisition was a loan
to be provided by the purchaser to Evernia in the amount of $500,000. As of the date of acquisition, July 1, 2021, the Company had advanced
Evernia approximately $1,140,985.
The
Company originally had a 180 day option, from the advancement of the first tranche to Evernia, to purchase an additional 9% of ATHI for
a purchase consideration of $50,000.
On
April 28, 2021, the Stock Purchase Agreement date June 30, 2020 between the Company and the Q Global Trust, and ATHI was amended
whereby the option to purchase an additional 9% of ATHI for $50,000 was amended to purchase an additional 24%, an increase of 15% over
the prior option, for 100,000,000 shares of common stock. The remaining condition to closing, the receipt of approval for the change
of ownership of the license from the Department of Children and Family Services of Florida, was satisfied by the probationary approval,
which was received on June 30, 2021. The Company exercised the option and issued the 100,000,000 shares of common stock and
paid $46,750 of the $50,000 due to the Seller, in terms of the amended agreement as of the date of this report. In addition
to the consideration paid for the additional equity the Company agreed to execute a promissory note for the payment of any unpaid management
fees at the time of Closing such that the unpaid fees shall be paid pari-passu with the repayment of the Loan Agreement and Seller agrees
that any funds advanced to the Company by Behavioural Health Holdings, LLC shall be forgiven and considered contributed capital to ATHI.
The Company agrees to advance up to $1,100,000 under the Loan Agreement for the funding of the operations of ATHI as required without
any contribution required by the Seller. As at the date of acquisition, July 1, 2021, the Company had advanced Evernia $1,140,985,
subsequent to July 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022, Evernia had repaid $637,602. The balance owing to the company at December 31, 2022 was
$503,383.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the consideration paid for 75% of the equity of ATHI was $50,000 in cash plus the issuance of 100,000,000 shares
of the Company’s common stock with a market value of $410,000 on the date of acquisition.
In

The
Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis during the last month of each year and at an interim date if indications
of impairment exist. Intangible asset impairment is determined by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying amount with an
impairment being recognized only when the fair value is less than carrying value and the impairment is deemed to be permanent in nature.
The
Company recorded $357,981 and $178,990 in amortization expense for finite-lived assets for the year ended
December

Leases
The
Company acquired ATHI on July 1, 2021, ATHI’s wholly owned subsidiary had entered into an operating lease agreement for certain
real property located at 950 Evernia Street, West Palm Beach, Florida, with effect from February 1, 2019 for a period of three
years, expiring on February 1, 2022. Under the terms of the lease agreement, the lease was extended during October 2021 for a further
5 year period until February 1, 2027.
To
determine the present value of minimum future lease payments for operating leases at February 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 five year ARM interest
rate as quoted by Freddie Mac adjusted for a risk premium of 20%. The Company determined that 4.64% per annum was an appropriate
incremental borrowing rate to apply to its real-estate operating lease.

Our
board of directors adopted the Greenstone Healthcare Corporation 2013 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) to promote our long-term
growth and profitability by (i) providing our key directors, officers and employees with incentives to improve stockholder value and
contribute to our growth and financial success and (ii) enable us to attract, retain and reward the best available persons for positions
of substantial responsibility. A total of 10,000,000 shares of our common stock have been reserved for issuance upon exercise
of options granted pursuant to the Plan. The Plan allows us to grant options to our employees, officers and directors and those of our
subsidiaries; provided that only our employees and those of our subsidiaries may receive incentive stock options under the Plan. We have
no issued options at December 31, 2022 under the Plan.
All
of the warrants have cashless exercise terms whereby in-the-money warrants may be exercised by reducing the number of shares issued in
terms of the warrant exercise to offset the proceeds due on the exercise.
All
of the warrants have price protection features whereby any securities issued subsequent to the date of the warrant issuance date, were
issued at a lower price, or have conversion features that are lower than the current exercise
price, or were converted at a lower price, or are exercisable at a lower price, to the current warrant exercise price, will result in
the exercise price of the warrant being set to the lower issue, conversion or exercise price.

Deferred

The
company has established a valuation allowance against its gross deferred tax assets sufficient to bring its net deferred tax assets to
zero due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of such assets. Management has determined it is more likely than not that the
net deferred tax assets are not realizable due to the Company’s historical loss position. The valuation allowance for the year
ended December 31, 2022 decreased by $3,867,512. This was due to the utilization of $(3,514,804) of net operating losses, the generation
of additional losses of $4,624,718 and the disposal of a foreign subsidiary with a net operating loss of $(4,872,047).
As
of December 31, 2022, the prior three tax years remain open for examination by the federal or state regulatory agencies for purposes
of an audit for tax purposes.
Pursuant
to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”), §382, the Company’s ability to use its net operating
loss carry forwards to offset future taxable income is limited if the Company experiences a cumulative change in ownership of more than
50% within a three-year period.
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.
