FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.

This annual report contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are projections in respect of future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “intend”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential”, or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors” commencing on page 5, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity or performance to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity or performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include: a continued downturn in international economic conditions; any adverse occurrence with respect to the development or marketing of our product; any adverse occurrence with respect to any of our licensing agreements; our ability to successfully bring products to market; product development or other initiatives by our competitors; fluctuations in the availability and cost of materials required to produce our products; any adverse occurrence with respect to distribution of our products; potential negative financial impact from claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings or challenges; and other factors beyond our control.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity or performance. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

As used in this annual report, the terms “we”, “us” “our” the “Corporation” and “PreAxia” mean PreAxia Health Care Payment Systems Inc. and our wholly- owned subsidiary, PreAxia Health Care Payment System Inc. (formerly H Pay Card Inc.), unless the context clearly requires otherwise. Unless otherwise stated, “$” refers to United States dollars.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Corporate Overview

Preaxia was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 3, 2000. On December 11, 2008, the Nevada Secretary of State effected a name change which had been previously approved by the majority of the stockholders on October 28, 2008.

Our company undertakes all of its operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PreAxia Health Care Payment Systems Inc. (“PreAxia Canada”- formerly H Pay Card Inc). PreAxia Canada, prior to being acquired by PreAxia, was a private corporation incorporated pursuant to the laws of the Province of Alberta on January 28, 2008.

General Overview

PreAxia Canada is a company which intends to deliver a comprehensive suite of solutions and services directed at the emerging health payment market, specifically the opportunities tied to the growth of health spending accounts (“HSA”). There is a rapid shift in healthcare traditional payment models to consumer-directed healthcare that is creating significant opportunities for financial services and insurance industries to deliver new dynamic products to this emerging market.

Spawned by the need to address escalating health care costs, changes in the regulatory environment and the growing consumer desire for greater participation in the management of their health benefits, the boundaries between health care and the financial services industries are becoming increasingly blurred. With the trend towards self-directed health payment solutions and the growing demand for faster, easier and more convenient benefit services, the insurance and benefits industries are banking on HSA medical payments being their next big growth conduit. Studies suggest that HSAs in the US reached $30 billion in assets and 16.7 million consumers in 2015, an increase of more than 20% over the prior year. This coupled with the continued growth of the Canadian group insurance industry illustrates the emerging opportunity for innovative health payment services. We intend to initially launch our products in Canada. We believe that Canadian businesses are embracing a new healthcare financing vehicle to control costs, increase profitability and get more return from their investment. We intend to provide them with services to capture this market opportunity.

Description of Health Spending Account (“HSA”)

An HSA is a uniquely designed bank account established exclusively and specifically for the purpose of health care spending. An employer deposits funds into a special account for the employee. These funds can be used to pay for eligible medical and related health care expenses for the employee and their dependents. HSAs provide employers and employees with greater control in both the amount of funds invested and how these funds are used.

 

Services and infrastructure provided by PreAxia enable organizations and individuals to eliminate all paper involved in the management of these accounts and benefit through savings in time and money.

 

The PreAxia platform for processing and managing accounts, including cardholder and customer account management, reconciliation and financial settlement, and customer reporting is fully operational.

 

Over time, the company will evaluate opportunities for forms of virtual banking and PayPal-type services. One opportunity seen as particularly relevant to the health care market is to offer instant issuing services that enable corporations to issue and fund Pre-Paid Interac or credit card services to beneficiaries in real time. If implemented, the beneficiary will most likely select a personal identification number (“PIN”) using a PIN and card activation terminal, thus gaining instant access to funds that can be reloaded. This consideration would require development of software systems for the issuing of health payment cards and financial transaction processing services that would be fully managed by a data center.

 

Matching of consumers in need of health care products or services with providers is another area PreAxia intends to evaluate. Consumers managing their health care dollars through an online system will find convenience in seeking out health care professionals and services through the same system.

Distribution Methods and Marketing Strategy

 3 

 

PreAxia operates on a Cloud Computing Platform that makes it accessible to anyone with a personal computer and Internet access. The preliminary market for PreAxia’s HSA Management Solution is small and medium sized companies that are not currently well served by the current group benefits model. The financial benefits of the PreAxia business model, however, are also relevant to larger employers and we believe that these larger employers will migrate to the PreAxia product over time.

PreAxia’s marketing strategy is to promote its existing platform direct to consumers and businesses, and to the groups that most need access to it. Specifically, independent brokers, financial advisors and small to medium sized businesses need access. Brokers should see PreAxia as a superior method of promoting and supporting HSAs that allow them to earn above average commission rates on invested funds. Financial advisors should see PreAxia in a similar way as brokers except that there is the additional benefit of tax reduction. Small to medium sized businesses, which are expected to drive the growth in business, should see PreAxia as offering financial savings to the company and to employees by offering personal health care benefits through an HSA, along with the same conveniences they have come to expect from other services they currently utilize over the Internet. It is expected that the group benefits market will subsequently follow as they too realize the advantages of PreAxia over their current HSA offerings. PreAxia has begun and will continue to seek opportunities with lead customers and alliance partners to establish reference-able, high-profile implementations and market-leading, early-adopter firms for further developing innovative products and services. The company intends to design solutions targeted towards corporate financial management, financial risk, audit management and cash management while targeting product/service management as a support to financial management.

We anticipate that the prime target for services will be small to medium sized organizations that are not adequately served by the current insurance and group benefits offerings. These organizations should realize significant benefits in both cost and time savings by utilization of PreAxia technology while providing their employees with an increased level of benefits.

PreAxia intends to achieve service volume and the associated economies of scale through marketing directly to select target customers that provide the necessary transaction volumes, through market specific channel partners and through an education based public relations strategy geared to the small to mid-sized employers including the brokers and financial advisors utilized by these businesses. The channel strategy is supported in the solution design, as multiple channel partners will require branding and our company’s fee charging/collection capabilities.

It is our company’s intention that brokers and financial advisors will aggressively promote their PreAxia supported HSA offerings due to the quality of product, higher margins and because of the non-competitive relationship with PreAxia.

PreAxia has identified the following “channels” through which it will target prime end market customers:

 

·Independent brokers that sell, or desire to sell, Health Spending Accounts
·Financial advisors who manage funds and advise on tax saving strategies for individuals and corporations
·Accountants and bookkeepers who regularly advise businesses on financial and operational matters
·Benefits managers/adjudicators, including insurance, health or outsourced government benefits processors that manage benefits disbursement
·Issuer banks, including partner banks that enable the issuance of Health Cards and/or sell insurance products
·Application providers, including software manufacturers selling into the target vertical markets
·Professional services, including consulting, development and implementation companies serving the target vertical markets
 4 

 

PreAxia intends to establish several key customer reference accounts, channel marketing partners and technology alliances. These corporate relationships are relevant to advancing our company’s goals in 2018 and beyond for achieving a prime position in the Canadian marketplace and establishing a solid service foundation.

Competitive Business Conditions and our Company’s Competitive Position in the Industry and Methods of Competition

PreAxia intends to offer a combination of products and services in its solution. However, there are other providers of components or versions of the Health Card value proposition in the marketplace. Our company is taking a different approach by providing a high value added and robust capability within specific target markets, rather than the “one size fits all” and mass volume approach of the larger companies in the Canadian and international market. The following are some of the leading providers of products and services that are or may be potential competitors in PreAxia’s target markets:

 

Canadian Market:

  • Pay Linx Financial Corporation is presently inactive, but was a company offering prepaid debit card payment solutions that integrated into the Interac and MasterCard financial networks in North America. Pay Linx Financial Corporation was presently 27.0% owned by Royal Bank of Canada and provided services to Royal Bank of Canada for Canadian governments through Quick Linx TM, replacing cheque and voucher payments.
  • Direct Cash Income Fund offers prepaid debit and credit cards and processes cash card transactions. In addition, Direct Cash Income Fund provides ATM and debit terminal transaction processing, sales and maintenance.
  • Card One Plus Ltd. offers prepaid debit card products designed to support merchant specific programs, including card graphics and merchant account management. These products are certified for acceptance on multiple card scheme and ATM networks.
  • Hyper WALLET Systems Inc. offers a product offering “flexible debit card payment solutions” through Alterna Savings, HSBC and the Credit Union Central of British Columbia, Canada. It also offers pre- authorized debit, credit card, EFT and bill payment services.
  • Next Wave Wireless Inc. is a joint venture between Money Mart and Data Wave Systems Inc., established to provide card issuance solutions including prepaid debit and credit cards. ”Next Wave Titanium” prepaid cards issued by Money Mart support loading from Money Mart transactions, such as cheque cashing, bill payment and ATM cash withdrawal.
  • Data Wave Systems Inc. provides prepaid card products for scheme cards as well as prepaid phone cards and prepaid wireless airtime. It offers “instant activation” through retail point of sale (“POS”) terminals. Data Wave Systems Inc. is owned by InComm, a global provider of prepaid services. Data Wave Systems Inc. also powers the Peoples Trust Company’s card service initiative, “Horizon Plus”, which is the contracted provider of “Titanium” card services.

International Market:

  • Orbiscom Inc. is in an alliance with MasterCard to offer “custom use cards” that can be issued by MasterCard banks and provides for restricted authorizations (by merchant, merchant type or geography) as well as instant issuance.
  • Comdata Corporation offers “controlled spending solutions”, with enhanced authorization and “real time” transfer of funds to payees, including government program payments.
  • Affiliated Computer Services Inc. (ACS) is penetrating the U.S. government benefits card issuance marketplace through MasterCard prepaid cards that support “no fee” ATM cash withdrawals through participating ATM networks. ACS provides these services for a range of governmental benefits programs.
  • Metavante Corporation is owned by Marshall & Ilsley Corporation and provides a wide range of payments products and services.
  • Blackhawk Network is owned by Safeway and is a provider of the “gift card mall”, which can be used at participating merchants only. These cards are Visa, MasterCard or American Express branded and are activated at the POS.
  • InComm is expanding its prepaid card services network “Fastcard” through an arrangement with Green Dot Corporation, which is a leading network of reloadable debit cards and processes for the MasterCard “repower” POS-based load network for prepaid cards.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General Overview

Our company undertakes all of its operations through PreAxia Canada, our wholly-owned subsidiary. PreAxia Canada is a company which intends to deliver a comprehensive suite of solutions and services directed at the emerging health payment market, specifically the opportunities tied to the growth of HSAs. There is a rapid shift in healthcare traditional payment models to consumer-directed healthcare that is creating significant opportunities for financial services and insurance industries to deliver new dynamic products to this emerging market.

Spawned by the need to address escalating health care costs, changes in the regulatory environment and the growing consumer desire for greater participation in the management of their health benefits, the boundaries between health care and the financial services industries are becoming increasingly blurred. With the trend towards self-directed health payment solutions and the growing demand for faster, easier and more convenient growth conduct, studies suggest that HSA’s in the US reached $30 billion in assets and 16.7 million consumers in 2015, an increase of more than 20% over the prior year.

We intend to initially launch our products in Canada. We believe that Canadian businesses are embracing a new healthcare financing vehicle to control costs, increase profitability and get more return from their investment. We intend to provide them with services to capture this market opportunity.

Plan of Operation

Over the next twelve months, we plan to:

  (a) Raise additional capital to execute our business plans, and;
     
  (b) To penetrate the health payment processing market in Canada, and worldwide, by continuing to develop innovative health payment processing products and services, and;
     
  (c) Build up a network of strategic alliances with several types of health insurance companies, governments and other alliances in various vertical markets, and;
     
  (d) Fill the positions of senior management sales, administrative and engineering positions.

 

Cash Requirements

After a further review of business opportunities with industry consultants, for the next twelve months and given that we meet our forecasted expenses, we plan to spend a total of approximately $1,450,000 in implementing our business plan of developing and marketing of health care processing products and services. We expect to generate revenues during the coming year. Therefore, we will be required to raise a total of $2,850,196 to complete our business plan and pay our existing outstanding debts of approximately $1,407,804. Our working capital requirements for both our company and PreAxia Canada for the next twelve months are estimated at $1,450,000 distributed as follows:

 

Estimated Expenses   
General and Administrative  $300,000 
Research and Development  $200,000 
Marketing and Education  $850,000 
Professional Services  $100,000 
Total  $1,450,000 

 

Our estimated expenses over the next twelve months are broken down as follows:

  1. General and Administrative We anticipate spending approximately $300,000 on general and administration costs in the next twelve months, which will include office rent, office supplies, transfer agents, filing fees, bank service charges, salary for our administrator, interest expense and travel, which includes airfare, meals, car rentals and accommodations.
 9 

 

 

  2. Research and Development We anticipate that we may spend approximately $200,000 in the next twelve months in the maintenance of our development and additional acquisition of software for our processing services and products.
     
  3. Marketing and Education We anticipate spending approximately $850,000 on the costs of staff and personnel marketing and promoting our company, our products and services, and educating the public to attract new accounts, including staff and personnel.
     
  4. Professional Services We anticipate that we may spend up to $100,000 in cash and/or stock based compensation over the next twelve months for professional services, consulting fees, accounting, auditing and legal fees.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no 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 stockholders.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of May 31, 2018, we had a cash balance of $7,608 compared to $8,779, as at May 31, 2017. PreAxia Canada will be required to raise capital to fund our operations. We had a working capital deficit of $1,400,196 as of May 31, 2018 compared with a working capital deficit of $1,198,480 of May 31, 2017.

 

Our company currently has little cash on hand. Our ability to meet our financial liabilities and commitments is primarily dependent upon the continued issuance of equity to new stockholders, and our ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations. Our company’s cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the next twelve-month period. We will not initially have any cash flow from operating activities as we are in the start-up stage with PreAxia Canada. We project that we will require an estimated additional $2,850,196 over the next twelve-month period to fund our operating cash shortfall calculated as $1,400,196 to cover our working capital deficit plus $1,450,000 for our projected cash request for the upcoming year ended May 31, 2019. Our company plans to raise the capital required to satisfy our immediate short-term needs and additional capital required to meet our estimated funding requirements for the next twelve months primarily through the private placement of our equity securities or by way of loans or such other means as our company may determine.

There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain funds required for our continued operations. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further long-term financing, successful and sufficient market acceptance of our products and achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

Our financial condition as at May 31, 2018 and May 31, 2017 and the changes between those periods for the respective items are summarized as follows:

Working Capital

   May 31, 2018  May 31, 2017
Current Assets  $7,608   $8,779 
Current Liabilities  $1,407,804   $1,207,259 
Working Capital (Deficit)  $(1,400,196)  $(1,198,480)

 

The increase in our working deficit of $201,716 was primarily due to the increase in the short term debt, which resulted from an operating loss of $201,716.

Cash Used in Operating Activities

During the year ended May 31, 2018, we used net cash in operating activities in the amount of $70,955 mainly due to an increase in activities and services which created a net loss of $201,716 which was offset by accounts payable and accrued liabilities - related party of $119,121 and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $11,640.

Operating expenses for the 12 months ended May 31, 2018 were $201,716 which is a decrease of $47,708 compared to the year ended May 31, 2017. The decrease was due to an increase in consulting fees of $1,259, an increase in professional fees of $92, an increase in office and administration of $1,667, a decrease in research and development of $16,676 and a decrease of $34,050 in amortization.

Consulting Fees

Consulting fees increased by $1,259 in the year ended May 31, 2018 compared to the year ended May 31, 2017, due to a modest increase in services related to financial reporting, research, marketing and financing.

Professional Fees

Professional fees increased by $92 in the year ended May 31, 2018 compared to the year ended May 31, 2017.

Office and Administration

Our office and administration expenses increased by $1,667 in the year ended May 31, 2018 compared to the year ended May 31, 2017, due to an increase in travel expenses offset by a decrease in other general and administration expenses.

Research and development

 

Research and Development expenses decreased by $16,676 for the year ended May 31, 2018 compared to the year ended May 31, 2017, as a result of a reduction in research and development activities.

Amortization

Amortization decreased by $34,050 in the year ended May 31, 2018 as a result of the assets related to the amortization were fully amortized in the year ended May 31, 2017.

Wages and benefits

There were no wages and benefits for the year ended May 31, 2018 or the year ended May 31, 2017.

Rent

There were no rent expenses for the year ended May 31, 2018 or for the year ended May 31, 2017, as a result of the Calgary office closing.

We have historically incurred losses and have incurred a loss of $4,159,364 from inception to May 31, 2018. Because of these historical losses, we will require additional working capital to develop our business operations. We intend to raise additional working capital through private placements, public offerings, bank financing and/or advances from related parties or shareholder loans.

The continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing and achieving a break even or profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current or future stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

There are no assurances that we will be able to either (i) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (ii) obtain additional financing through either private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to us. If adequate working capital is not available, we may cease operations.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates in the preparation of the financial statements

The preparation of our company's financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions that our company may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Software Development Costs

The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with several accounting pronouncements, including FASB ASC 730, Research and Development, FASB ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software, FASB 985-20, Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed and FASB ASC 350-50, Website Development Costs.

Costs incurred during the period of planning and design, prior to the period determining technological feasibility, for all software developed for use internal and external, has been charged to operations in the period incurred as research and development costs.  Additionally, costs incurred after determination of readiness for market have been expensed as research and development.

 13 

 

The Company has capitalized certain costs in the development of our proprietary software (computer software to be sold, leased or licensed) for the period after technological feasibility was determined and prior to our marketing and initial sales.

Website development costs have been capitalized, under the same criteria as our marketed software.  

Capitalized software costs are stated at cost.  The estimated useful life of costs capitalized is evaluated for each specific project. Intangible software costs were amortized over a three-year period starting in June 2014.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PreAxia Health Care Payment Systems (the “Company”) as of May 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended May 31, 2018 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 as of May 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended May 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our 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.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has not established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating expenses. This factor, among others, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

May 31, 2018 and 2017

Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies

This summary of significant accounting policies of PreAxia Health Care Payment Systems Inc. (the “Company”) is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, which are stated in U.S. Dollars.

Organization

The Company had no operations prior to the date of the aforementioned acquisition.

As a result, the consolidated results of operations presented at May 31, 2018 and 2017 are those of the Company and PreAxia Canada Inc.

Nature and Continuance of Operations (Continued)

The primary operations of the Company will eventually be undertaken by PreAxia Canada. PreAxia Canada is in the process of developing an online access system creating a health savings account that allows card payments and processing services to third-party administrators, insurance companies and others.

 

Use of Estimates in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements

The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions that our company may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company is the United States dollar. The functional currency of PreAxia Canada is the Canadian dollar. Assets and liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are translated into United States dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and capital accounts are translated at historical rates. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) account in stockholders’ deficit.

Transactions undertaken in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity are translated using the exchange rate in effect as of the transaction date. Any exchange gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

The Company's reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. All transactions initiated in Canadian Dollars are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 830-30, "Translation of Financial Statements," as follows:

PREAXIA HEALTH CARE PAYMENT SYSTEMS INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2018 and 2017

Foreign Currency Translation (continued)

i)       assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the date of the balance sheet or 1US Dollar=1.2958 Canadian Dollars (May 31, 2018), and;

1US Dollar=1.3495 Canadian Dollars (May 31, 2017);

ii)       income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for twelve months ended May 31, or

1US Dollar=1.2851 Canadian Dollars (May 31, 2018), and;

1US Dollar=1.2973 Canadian Dollars (May 31, 2017);

iii)       all resulting exchange differences are recognized as other comprehensive income, a separate component of equity.

Gain (Loss) Per Share

Gain (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company has 10,587,600 and 10,587,600 shares of potential common stock equivalents as of May 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. A separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented since the Company has net losses as the effects would be anti-dilutive.

Research and Development Costs

For the years ended May 31, 2018, and 2017, we expended $38,067 and $54,743 on research and development.

Software Development Costs

The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with several accounting pronouncements, including FASB ASC 730, Research and Development, FASB ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software, FASB 985-20, Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed and FASB ASC 350-50, Website Development Costs.

Costs incurred during the period of planning and design, prior to the period determining technological feasibility, for all software developed for use internal and external, has been charged to operations in the period incurred as research and development costs.  Additionally, costs incurred after determination of readiness for market have been expensed as research and development.

The Company has capitalized certain costs in the development of our proprietary software (computer software to be sold, leased or licensed) for the period after technological feasibility was determined and prior to our marketing and initial sales.

Website development costs have been capitalized, under the same criteria as our marketed software.  

Intangible software costs were amortized over a three year period starting June 2014. Amortization for the years ended May 31, 2018 and 2017 was $ nil and $34,050, respectively.

PREAXIA HEALTH CARE PAYMENT SYSTEMS INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2018 and 2017

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset.  The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required.  If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset.  When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets.  We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization. Related party balances are not recorded at fair value because they are by nature not arm’s length transactions subject to normal market rates.

Fair Value Estimates

The Company defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Management uses a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

·Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities
·Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
·Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of May 31, 2018. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

New Accounting Standards

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued or updated. No new standards or updates had any material effect on these consolidated financial statements. The accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to the date of these consolidated financial statements that were considered significant by management were evaluated for the potential effect on these consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe any of the subsequent pronouncements will have a material effect on these consolidated financial statements as presented.

 

Other

The Company has selected May 31 as its year-end and the Company paid no dividends in 2018.

Going Concern

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At May 31, 2018, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $4,159,364 since inception, has negative working capital of $1,400,196 and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but believes the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances, however there is no assurance of additional funding being available.

 

Note 2 Related Party Transactions

Accounts Payable

During the year ended May 31, 2018, the Company’s president, Tom Zapatinas, invoiced $120,000 for management services rendered to the Company for the period June 1, 2017 to May 31, 2018. As at May 31, 2018, Accounts payable – related party includes a total off $119,121 due and payable to Mr. Zapatinas. The balance as at May 31, 2017 was $ nil representing an increase of $119,121 over the prior year.

The Accounts Payable Related Party was converted to a Note Payable Related Party in the amount of $1,058,760 on May 31, 2017. The Note is noninterest bearing and is payable on demand and can be converted in whole or in part into common shares at $0.10 per share.

As of May 31, 2018, the Company owed loan holders $87,064 compared to $17,280 as at May 31, 2017. During the year ended May 31, 2017, the Company issued 775,908 shares of common stock to retire $387,954 of debt.

The loan was unsecured, with 6% interest per annum and was payable 30 days after demand is made by the shareholder. As of May 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had accrued interest on the related party loan in the amount of $0 and $19,524, respectively.

As at May 31, 2017, the above loan in the amount of $51,849 was converted to 103,698 shares of common stock while the interest on the loan in the amount of $19,524 was forgiven by the holder.

As at May 31, 2017, the accounts payable to Mr. Ron Lizee in the amount of $90,000 and the accrued interest of $36,967 were converted to 100,000 shares of common stock.

Included in accounts payable is a payable in the amount of $14,933 to a creditor, which is disputed by the Company and the Company believes the debt will be settled for an amount significantly less than the amount reported in the accounts.

 

Note 3 – Income Taxes

As at May 31, 2018, the Company is in arrears on filing its statutory income tax returns. Tax years 2008 through 2018 are open for examination by taxing authorities. The Company has incurred substantial net operating losses of approximately $3,919,000 since January 28, 2008 (Date of Inception).

On December 22, 2017, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Tax Act) was enacted into law including a one-time mandatory transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings and a reduction of the corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018, among others. We are required to recognize the effect of the tax law changes in the period of enactment, such as determining the transition tax, remeasuring our U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities as well as reassessing the net realizability of our deferred tax assets and liabilities. We have remeasured our U.S. deferred tax assets at a statutory income tax rate of 21%. Since the Tax Act was passed late in the fourth quarter of 2017, and ongoing guidance and accounting interpretation are expected over the next 12 months, we consider the accounting of any transition tax, deferred tax re-measurements, and other items to be incomplete due to the forthcoming guidance and our ongoing analysis of final year-end data and tax positions. We expect to complete our analysis within the measurement period in accordance with SAB 118, and no later than fiscal year end May 31, 2019.

The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities consist primarily of the following:

   2018  2017
       
Net operating losses – U.S. parent:      
Amount carried forward from prior years  $(1,389,099)  $(1,340,812)

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer concluded that, as of May 31, 2018, the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The ineffectiveness of our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures was due to the existence of material weaknesses identified below.

Disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 14d-14(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting reliability and financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our company’s internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2018. In making the assessment, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO - 2013) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of May 31, 2018, our Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

Management has identified the following material weaknesses:

  • We do not have accounting staff with sufficient technical accounting knowledge relating to accounting for U.S. income taxes and complex US GAAP matters; and
  • We failed to file our corporate tax returns for 2008 through 2018.

We intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make the necessary improvements to remediate these material weaknesses. In particular, we intend to hire staff with U.S. GAAP expertise if we can obtain additional financing and hire professionals to prepare and complete the filing of our corporate tax returns.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

Audit Committee

 

The Corporation is a “venture issuer” as defined in National Instrument 52-110 and is relying on the exemption contained in Section 6.1 of National Instrument 52-110, which exempts the Corporation from the requirements of Part 3 (Composition of the Audit Committee) and Part 5 (Reporting Obligations) of National Instrument 52-110.

Consistent with this function, the Committee will encourage continuous improvement of, and should foster adherence to, the Corporation’s policies, procedures and practices at all levels. The Committee’s primary duties and responsibilities are to:

·Serve as an independent and objective party to monitor the Corporation’s financial reporting and internal control system and review the Corporation’s financial statements.

·Provide an open avenue of communication among the Corporation’s auditors, financial and senior management and the Board of Directors.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

Corporate Governance relates to the activities of the Board of Directors. National Policy 58-201 establishes corporate governance guidelines which apply to all public companies. The Corporation has reviewed its own corporate governance practices in light of these guidelines. In certain cases, the Corporation’s practices comply with the guidelines, however, the Board considers that some of the guidelines are not suitable for the Corporation at its current stage of development and therefore these guidelines have not been adopted. National Policy 58-201 mandates disclosure of corporate governance practices which disclosure is set out below. The Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices in the interest of its shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision making. The Corporation will continue to review and implement corporate governance guidelines as the business of the Corporation progresses.

 

Independence of Members of Board

 

The Corporation’s Board consists of two directors, Paul Verberne and Tom Zapatinas. Of which Tom Zapatinas is not independent as he is the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation.

 

Management Supervision by Board

 

The size of the Corporation is such that all of the Corporation’s operations are conducted by a small management team which is also represented on the Board. The Board considers that management is effectively supervised by the director on an informal basis as the director is actively and regularly involved in reviewing the operations of the Corporation and has regular and full access to management.

 

Other Directorships

 

Paul Verberne or Tom Zapatinas is not a director of any other reporting issuers.

 

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board does not have a formal orientation or education program for its members. New Board members are provided with information respecting the functioning of the Board of Directors, audit committee, access to all of the publicly filed documents of the Corporation and complete access to management and the Corporation’s professional advisors.

 20 

 

Board members are encouraged to communicate with management and the auditors, to keep themselves current with industry trends and developments and changes in legislation with the Corporation’s assistance, to attend industry seminars and to visit the Corporation’s operations. Board members have full access to the Corporation’s records and legal counsel.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board believes good corporate governance in an integral component to the success of the Corporation and to meet responsibilities to shareholders.

At present the Board has not adopted guidelines or stipulations or a code to encourage and promote a culture of ethical business conduct due to the size of its Board and its limited activities. The Corporation does promote ethical business conduct through the nomination of Board members it considers ethical.

Nomination of Directors

The Board has responsibility for identifying and assessing potential Board candidates. Recruitment of new directors has generally resulted from recommendations made by directors, management and shareholders. The Board assesses potential Board candidates to fill perceived needs on the Board for required skills, expertise, independence and other factors.

Compensation of Directors and the CEO

The directors decide as a Board the compensation for the Corporation’s directors and officers. Compensation payable is determined by considering compensation paid for directors and CEOs of companies of similar size and stage of development in the health care payment industry and determining appropriate compensation reflecting the need to provide incentive and compensation for the time and effort expended by the directors and senior management while taking into account the financial and other resources of the Corporation. In setting the compensation, the performance of the CEO is reviewed in light of the Corporation’s objectives and other factors that may have impacted the success of the Corporation.

Board Committees

The Corporation has an Audit Committee (see section entitled “Audit Committee”)

The Board is of the view that the size of the Corporation’s operations does not warrant additional committees at this stage of the Corporation’s development.

Assessments

The Board does not consider that formal assessments would be useful at this stage of the Corporation’s development.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide us with copies of those filings. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017 all filing requirements applicable to our executive officers, directors and greater than 10% percent beneficial owners were complied with.

 

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

The following table sets forth all compensation received during the two years ended May 31, 2018 and May 31, 2017 by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer and each of the other most highly compensated executive officers whose total compensation exceeded $100,000 in such fiscal year.

Directors Compensation

 

We reimburse our directors for expenses incurred in connection with attending board meetings but did not pay director’s fees or other cash compensation for services rendered as a director in the year ended May 31, 2018.

Directors are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of our board of directors. The board of directors may award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on behalf of our company other than services ordinarily required of a director. Other than indicated in this annual report, no director received and/or accrued any compensation for his or her services as a director, including committee participation and/or special assignments.
