NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Nine Months Ended May 31, 2019 and 2018 (unaudited)

Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization and Line of Business

Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. (“Novo Integrated”) was incorporated in Delaware on November 27, 2000, under the name Turbine Truck Engines, Inc. On February 20, 2008, the Company was re-domiciled to the State of Nevada. Effective July 12, 2017, the Company’s name was changed to Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. When used herein, the terms the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Novo Integrated and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Through Novo Healthnet Limited (“NHL”), our wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, we deliver multi-disciplinary primary healthcare to over 400,000 patients annually through our 15 corporate-owned clinics and a contracted network of 96 affiliate clinics and 229 eldercare centric homes located across Canada. Our team of practitioners and staff are trained for assessment, diagnosis, treatment, pain management, rehabilitation and primary prevention. Our specialized services and products include physiotherapy, chiropractic care, occupational therapy, eldercare, laser therapeutics, massage therapy, acupuncture, chiropody, neurological functions, kinesiology, concussion management and baseline testing, women’s pelvic health, sports medicine therapy, assistive devices and private personal training. We do not provide primary care medical services, none of our employees practices primary care medicine, and our services do not require a medical or nursing license.

As we continue to build our health science platform of services and products through the integration of technology and rehabilitative science, one component of our lateral business growth strategy includes developing business units centered on the direct control of the grow, extraction, manufacturing and distribution processes for hemp and medical cannabidiol products. Additionally, we continue to expand on our patient care philosophy of maintaining an on-going continuous connection with our patient community, beyond the traditional confines of a clinic, by extending oversight of patient diagnosis, care and monitoring, directly into the patient’s home, through various mobile telemedicine and diagnostic tools.

Since inception and through May 9, 2017, our activities and business operations were limited to raising capital, organizational matters and the implementation of our business plan related to research, development, testing and commercialization of various alternative energy technologies.

On April 25, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) by and between (i) the Company; (ii) NHL; (iii) ALMC-ASAP Holdings Inc. (“ALMC”); (iv) Michael Gaynor Family Trust (the “MGFT”); (v) 1218814 Ontario Inc. (“1218814”); and (vi) Michael Gaynor Physiotherapy Professional Corp. (“MGPP,” and together with ALMC, MGFT and 1218814, the “NHL Shareholders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire from the NHL Shareholders all of the shares of both common and preferred stock of NHL, held by the NHL Shareholders, in exchange for the issuance by the Company to the NHL Shareholders of shares of the Company’s common stock, such that following the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, the NHL Shareholders would own 167,797,406 restricted shares of Company common stock, representing 85% of the issued and outstanding Company common stock, calculated including all granted and issued options or warrants to acquire the Company common stock as of the Effective Date, but to exclude shares of Company common stock that are subject to a then-current Regulation S offering that was undertaking by the Company (the “Exchange”).

On May 9, 2017, the Exchange closed and, as a result, NHL became a wholly owned subsidiary of Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc.

The Exchange was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting since NHL obtained control of Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. Accordingly, the Exchange was recorded as a recapitalization of NHL, with NHL being treated as the continuing entity. The historical financial statements presented are the financial statements of NHL. The Exchange was treated as a recapitalization and not as a business combination; therefore, no pro forma information is disclosed. At the closing date of the Exchange, the net assets of the legal acquirer, Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc., were $6,904.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, the results of its operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) were omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results of operations for the nine months ended May 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending August 31, 2019.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The Company’s Canadian subsidiaries’ functional currency is the Canadian Dollar (“CAD” or “CAD$”); however, the accompanying consolidated financial statements were translated and presented in United States Dollars (“$” or “USD”).

Foreign Currency Translation

The accounts of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries are maintained in CAD. The accounts of these subsidiaries are translated into USD in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 830, Foreign Currency Transaction, with the CAD as the functional currency. According to Topic 830, all assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statement of operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operations and comprehensive income. The following table details the exchange rates used for the respective periods:

	May 31, 2019		May 31, 2018		August 31, 2018
Period end: CAD to USD exchange rate	$	0.7395	$	0.7712	$	0.7647
Average period: CAD to USD exchange rate	$	0.7540	$	0.7901

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, NHL, Novo Healthnet Rehab Limited, Novo Assessments Inc., and an 80% interest in Novo Healthnet Kemptville Centre, Inc., a Back on Track Physiotherapy and Health Centre clinic operated by NHL. All of the Company’s subsidiaries are incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Noncontrolling Interest

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, which governs the accounting for and reporting of non-controlling interests (“NCIs”) in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Certain provisions of this standard indicate, among other things, that NCIs be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability, that increases and decreases in the parent’s ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions rather than as step acquisitions or dilution gains or losses, and that losses of a partially owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to the NCI even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance.

The net income (loss) attributed to the NCI is separately designated in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss).

Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include time deposits, certificate of deposits, and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentration, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Delinquent account balances are written-off after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable and known bad debts are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when identified. As of May 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018, the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable was $475,329 and $464,527, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the declining balance method for substantially all assets with estimated lives as follows:

	Leasehold improvements	5 years
	Clinical equipment	5 years
	Computer equipment	3 years
	Office equipment	5 years
	Furniture and fixtures	5 years

Long-Lived Assets

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review at May 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018, the Company believes there was no impairment of its long-lived assets.

Intangible Assets

The Company’s intangible assets consist of land use rights and a software license which will be amortized over 50 and 7 years, respectively. Amortization will begin when the assets are fully placed in service. The Company will perform a test for impairment annually. The land use rights and the software license intangible assets were acquired in January and February 2019, respectively. Therefore, the first annual impairment test will be performed as of August 31, 2019.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the underlying net assets of businesses acquired. Under accounting requirements, goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment tests. At May 31, 2019, the Company recorded goodwill of $369,750 and $214,455, respectively, related to its acquisition of Apka Health, Inc. during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2017 and Executive Fitness Leaders during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018. As of August 31, 2018, the Company performed the required impairment review. Based on its review, the Company believes there was no impairment of its goodwill.

Acquisition Deposits

The Company has signed letters of understanding with three potential acquisition candidates which include refundable acquisition deposits totaling $1,445,495 and $1,112,404 at May 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, advances to suppliers, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.

FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

	●	Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

	●	Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

	●	Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology use one or more unobservable inputs which are significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

As of May 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018, respectively, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.

Revenue Recognition

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), became effective for the Company on March 1, 2018. The Company’s revenue recognition disclosure reflects its updated accounting policies that are affected by this new standard. The Company applied the “modified retrospective” transition method for open contracts for the implementation of Topic 606. As sales are and have been primarily from providing healthcare services, and the Company has no significant post-delivery obligations, this new standard did not result in a material recognition of revenue on the Company’s accompanying consolidated financial statements for the cumulative impact of applying this new standard. The Company made no adjustments to its previously reported total revenues, as those periods continue to be presented in accordance with its historical accounting practices under Topic 605, Revenue Recognition.

Revenue from providing healthcare services are recognized under Topic 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its services to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:

	●	executed contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable;
	●	identification of performance obligations in the respective contract;
	●	determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;
	●	allocation the transaction price to each performance obligation; and
	●	recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

These five elements, as applied to healthcare services, the Company’s sole revenue category, is summarized below:

●

Healthcare services - gross service revenue is recorded in the accounting records at the time the service is provided on an accrual basis at the provider’s established rates, regardless of whether the provider expects to collect that amount. The Company reserves a provision for contractual adjustment and discounts that are deducted from gross service revenue. The Company reports revenues net of any sales, use and value added taxes.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. FASB ASC Topic 718 requires companies to measure compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation at fair value at the grant date and recognize the expense over the requisite service period. The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS assumes that all dilutive securities are converted. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, 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. There were 10,095,000 options/warrants outstanding as of May 31, 2019. Due to the net loss incurred, potentially dilutive instruments would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss for all periods presented.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Comprehensive Income

U.S. GAAP generally requires recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Certain statements, however, require entities to report specific changes in assets and liabilities, such as gain or loss on foreign currency translation, as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries is the CAD. Translation gains of $1,102,188 and $1,139,815 at May 31, 2019 and August 31, 2018, respectively, are classified as an item of other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet.

Statement of Cash Flows

Cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rates. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfer of Assets Other than Inventory, which requires the recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. ASU 2016-16 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on March 1, 2019 with no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requires expanded disclosures about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2016-02 and additional ASUs are now codified as Accounting Standards Codification Standard (“ASC”) 842 - Leases (“ASC 842”). ASC 842 supersedes the lease accounting guidance in ASC 840 Leases and requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually all lease contracts. It also requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted ASC 842 on March 1, 2019 and used the modified retrospective transition approach and did not restate its comparative periods. As of the date of implementation on March 1, 2019, the impact of the adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of a right of use asset and lease payable obligation on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets of $2,360,787. As the right of use asset and the lease payable obligation were the same upon adoption of ASC 842, there was no cumulative effect impact on the Company’s accumulated deficit.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Entities will be able to transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company adopted this ASU beginning on March 1, 2018 and used the modified retrospective method of adoption. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

Note 11 – Leases

The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company must discount lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate.

The Company leases its corporate office space and certain facilities under long-term operating leases expiring through fiscal year 2028. Effective March 1, 2019, the Company adopted the provision of ASC 842 Leases.

The table below presents the lease related assets and liabilities recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of May 31, 2019:

Stock options/warrants

On September 8, 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2015 Plan”), which authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock to employees, officers, directors or independent consultants of the Company, provided that no person can be granted shares under the 2015 Plan for services related to raising capital or promotional activities. As of May 31, 2019, 4,987,500 shares were available under the 2015 Plan for future grants, awards, options or share issuances. However, because the shares issuable under the 2015 Plan or issuable upon conversion of awards granted under the 2015 Plan are no longer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company does not intend to issue any additional grants under the 2015 Plan.

On January 16, 2018, the Company adopted the Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. 2018 Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). Under the 2018 Plan, 10,000,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance to employees, non-employees, directors and key consultants to the Company or its subsidiaries. The 2018 Plan authorizes equity-based and cash-based incentives for participants. There were 9,875,000 shares available for award at May 31, 2019 under the 2018 Plan.

The following is a summary of stock option/warrant activity:

	10,095,000

For options granted during the fiscal year ending August 31, 2019 where the exercise price equaled the stock price at the date of the grant, the weighted-average fair value of such options was $0.94 and the weighted-average exercise price of such options/warrants was $0.95. No options were granted during the fiscal year ending August 31, 2019 where the exercise price was less than the stock price at the date of grant or the exercise price was greater than the stock price at the date of grant.

For options granted during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018 where the exercise price equaled the stock price at the date of the grant, the weighted-average fair value of such options was $0.39 and the weighted-average exercise price of such options/warrants was $0.40. No options were granted during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018 where the exercise price was less than the stock price at the date of grant or the exercise price was greater than the stock price at the date of grant.

The fair value of the stock options is being amortized to stock option expense over the vesting period. The Company recorded stock option expense of $70,846 and $1,220,419 during the nine months ended May 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. At May 31, 2019, the unamortized stock option expense was $0.

The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of options granted during the current fiscal year ending August 31, 2019 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for options granted, through May 31, 2019, are as follows:

Risk-free interest rate	2.78	%
Expected life of the options	3.5 years
Expected volatility	294	%
Expected dividend yield	0	%

Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is party to certain legal proceedings from time to time incidental to the conduct of its business. These proceedings could result in fines, penalties, compensatory or treble damages or non-monetary relief. The nature of legal proceedings is such that the Company cannot assure the outcome of any particular matter, and an unfavorable ruling or development could have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in the period in which a ruling or settlement occurs. However, based on information available to the Company’s management to date, the Company’s management does not expect that the outcome of any matter pending against the Company is likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position as of May 31, 2019, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity of the Company.

Note 14 – Subsequent Events

On June 4, 2019, the Company sold 21,413 restricted shares of common stock to an accredited investor for a purchase price of $22,269.

For the three months ended May 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended May 31, 2018

Revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2019 were $2,489,575, representing an increase of $166,406, or 7.2%, from $2,323,169 for the same period in 2018. The increase in revenue is due to the opening of a new clinic in September 2018 and the relocation of certain clinics, during the summer of 2018, allowing the Company to sell additional services to customers as a result of more spacious facilities.

Cost of revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2019 were $1,556,865, representing an increase of $138,866, or 9.8%, from $1,417,999 for the same period in 2018. The increase in cost of revenues is principally due the increase in revenue. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue was 62.5% for the three months ended May 31, 2019 and 61.0% for same period in 2018. The increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue is principally due to higher costs.

Operating costs for the three months ended May 31, 2019 were $995,838, representing a decrease of $86,169, or 8.0%, from $1,082,007 for the same period in 2018. The decrease in operating costs is principally attributed to a decrease in stock-based compensation of $111,003.

Interest expense for the three months ended May 31, 2019 was $41,735 representing a decrease of $961, or 2.3%, from $42,696 for the same period in 2018. The decrease is not significant.

For the nine months ended May 31, 2019 compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2018

Revenues for the nine months ended May 31, 2019 were $7,001,607, representing an increase of $278,782, or 4.1%, from $6,722,825 for the same period in 2018. The increase in revenue is due to us being able to sell additional services to customers as a result of the acquisition of Executive Fitness Leaders in December 2017, the opening of a new clinic in September 2018, and the relocation of certain clinics during the summer of 2018 to more spacious facilities.

Cost of revenues for the nine months ended May 31, 2019 were $4,305,688, representing an increase of $172,400, or 4.2%, from $4,133,288 for the same period in 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, for the nine months ended May 31, 2019, the Company had a net loss of $480,337.

During the nine months ended May 31, 2019, the Company used cash in operating activities of $530,975 compared to $840,044 for the same period in 2018. The principal reason for the decrease is the decrease in net loss incurred during the nine months ended May 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, changes in non-cash expense of stock-based compensation and changes in working capital accounts during the nine months ended May 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.

During the nine months ended May 31, 2019, the Company used cash in investing activities of $705,959 compared to $122,879 for the same period in 2018.

During the nine months ended May 31, 2019, the Company generated cash of $3,076,841 from financing activities compared to cash used in financing activities of $23,072 for the same period in 2018. The principal reason for the change is the sale of shares of common stock for $3,228,098 during the nine months ended May 31, 2019, offset by an increase of repayments of amounts due to related parties. During the nine months ended May 31, 2018 there were only $15,564 of sales of shares of common stock.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

We believe that the following critical policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements.

Use of Estimates

Noncontrolling Interest

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation, which governs the accounting for and reporting of non-controlling interests (“NCIs”) in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Certain provisions of this standard indicate, among other things, that NCIs be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability, that increases and decreases in the parent’s ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions rather than as step acquisitions or dilution gains or losses, and that losses of a partially owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to the NCI even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance.

The net income (loss) attributed to the NCI is separately designated in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss).

Revenue Recognition

	●	executed contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable;

	●	identification of performance obligations in the respective contract;

	●	determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;

	●	allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation; and

	●	recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

These five elements, as applied to healthcare services, the Company’s sole revenue category, is summarized below:

●

Healthcare services - gross service revenue is recorded in the accounting records at the time the services are provided on an accrual basis at the provider’s established rates, regardless of whether the provider expects to collect that amount. The Company reserves a provision for contractual adjustment and discounts that are deducted from gross service revenue. The Company reports revenues net of any sales, use and value added taxes.

Stock-Based Compensation

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Foreign Currency Transactions and Comprehensive Income

U.S. GAAP generally requires recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Certain statements, however, require entities to report specific changes in assets and liabilities, such as gain or loss on foreign currency translation, as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. Translation gains (losses) are classified as an item of other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requires expanded disclosures about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2016-02 and additional ASUs are now codified as Accounting Standards Codification Standard (“ASC”) 842 - Leases (“ASC 842”). ASC 842 supersedes the lease accounting guidance in ASC 840 Leases, and requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually all lease contracts. It also requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted ASC 842 on March 1, 2019 and used the modified retrospective transition approach and did not restate its comparative periods. As of the date of implementation on March 1, 2019, the impact of the adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of a right of use asset and lease payable obligation on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets of $2,360,787. As the right of use asset and the lease payable obligation were the same upon adoption of ASC 842, there was no cumulative effect impact on the Company’s accumulated deficit.

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
