1. Nature of business

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

On May 23, 2018, the Company converted a purchase agreement with AREP 5400 East Avenue LLC to a ten year lease agreement for a substance abuse treatment center in properties located at 5400, 5402 and 5410 East Avenue, west Palm Beach, Florida. The Company was also granted an option to purchase the property at a price of $17,250,000, increasing by $750,000 per month.

The Company ceased operations in its Delray Beach properties and relocated its treatment facility to the newly leased premises in West Palm Beach.

On April 2, 2019, the Company disposed of the real property located at 801 Andrews Avenue, Delray Beach for gross proceeds of $3,500,000, retaining the property at 810 Andrews Avenue Delray Beach, Florida.

On October 10, 2019, the Company transferred the real Property located at 810 Andrews Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida to Leonite Capital, LLC, for net proceeds of $1,398,510, which proceeds were offset against the convertible loan owing to Leonite.
