UP TO 4,166,666,660 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK THROUGH 416,666,666 UNITS OF 100 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK PER UNIT

 

Ethema Health Corporation, a Colorado corporation (the “Company,” “Ethema,” “we,” “us,” and “our”), is offering up to 4,166,666,660 shares (“Shares”) of its common stock, par value of $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) sold in Units of 100 Shares of Common Stock (“Units”) on a “best efforts” basis without any minimum offering amount pursuant to Regulation A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for Tier 2 offerings (the “Offering”). We expect that the fixed initial public offering price per Unit will be $0.12 (equivalent of per share of Common Stock will be $0.0012) upon qualification of the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We expect to commence the sale of the Units within two calendar days of the date on which the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part is declared qualified by the SEC. The Offering is expected to expire on the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the Units offered are sold; or (ii) the date on which this Offering is earlier terminated by us in our sole discretion. For avoidance of doubt, potential investors will only be able to purchase Shares in Units. There will be no fractional Units sold.

 

We have engaged DealMaker Securities LLC (the “Broker”), a broker-dealer registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and a member of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), to perform certain administrative and compliance related functions in connection with this Offering, but not for underwriting or placement agent services. Potential investors may at any time make revocable offers to subscribe to purchase Units with each containing 100 shares of our Common Stock. Such revocable offers will become irrevocable when both the Offering Statement is qualified by the SEC and we accept your subscription. We may close on investments on a “rolling” basis (so not all investors will receive their Shares on the same date). Funds will be promptly refunded without interest, for sales that are not consummated. Upon closing under the terms as set out in this Offering Circular, funds will be immediately available to us (where the funds will be available for use in our operations in a manner consistent with the “Use of Proceeds” in this Offering Circular) and the Shares for such closing will be issued to investors. See “Plan of Distribution” of this Offering Circular for more information.

 

Our Common Stock currently trades on the OTC Pink Open Market under the symbol “GRST” and the closing price of our Common Stock on April 6, 2023 was $0.0004. Our Common Stock currently trades on a sporadic and limited basis.

 

An investment in the Units (each containing 100 Shares) is subject to certain risks and should be made only by persons or entities able to bear the risk of and to withstand the total loss of their investment. Prospective investors should carefully consider and review the “Risk Factors” beginning on page 8.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THIS OFFERING CIRCULAR

 

Please carefully read the information in this offering circular and any accompanying offering circular supplements, which we refer to collectively as the offering circular. You should rely only on the information contained in this Offering Circular. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. This offering circular may only be used where it is legal to sell these securities. You should not assume that the information contained in this offering circular is accurate as of any date later than the date hereof or such other dates as are stated herein or as of the respective dates of any documents or other information incorporated herein by reference.

 

This offering circular is part of an offering statement that we filed with the SEC, using a continuous offering process. Periodically, as we have material developments, we will provide an offering circular supplement that may add, update or change information contained in this offering circular. Any statement that we make in this offering circular will be modified or superseded by any inconsistent statement made by us in a subsequent offering circular supplement. The offering statement we filed with the SEC includes exhibits that provide more detailed descriptions of the matters discussed in this offering circular. You should read this offering circular and the related exhibits filed with the SEC and any offering circular supplement, together with additional information contained in our annual reports, semi-annual reports and other reports and information statements that we will file periodically with the SEC. See the section entitled “Additional Information” below for more details.

 

We, and if applicable, those selling Common Stock on our behalf in this offering, will be permitted to make a determination that the purchasers of Common Stock in this offering are “qualified purchasers” in reliance on the information and representations provided by the purchaser regarding the purchaser’s financial situation. Before making any representation that your investment does not exceed applicable thresholds, we encourage you to review Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A (“Regulation A”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). For general information on investing, we encourage you to refer to www.investor.gov.

 

STATE LAW EXEMPTION AND PURCHASE RESTRICTIONS

 

Our Common Stock is being offered and sold only to “qualified purchaser” (as defined in Regulation A). As a Tier 2 offering pursuant to Regulation A, this offering will be exempt from state law “Blue Sky” review, subject to meeting certain state filing requirements and complying with certain anti-fraud provisions, to the extent that our Common Stock offered hereby is offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers” or at a time when our Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange. “Qualified purchasers” include: (i) “accredited investors” under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act (“Regulation D”) and (ii) all other investors so long as their investment in our Common Stock does not represent more than 10% of the greater of their annual income or net worth (for natural persons), or 10% of the greater of annual revenue or net assets at fiscal year-end (for non-natural persons).

 

To determine whether a potential investor is an “accredited investor” for purposes of satisfying one of the tests in the “qualified purchaser” definition, the investor must be a natural person who has:

 

  1. an individual net worth, or joint net worth with the person’s spouse, that exceeds $1,000,000 at the time of the purchase, excluding the value of the primary residence of such person; or

 

  2. earned income exceeding $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with a spouse exceeding $300,000 for those years and a reasonable expectation of the same income level in the current year.

 

If the investor is not a natural person, different standards apply. See Rule 501 of Regulation D for more details.

 

For purposes of determining whether a potential investor is a “qualified purchaser,” annual income and net worth should be calculated as provided in the “accredited investor” definition under Rule 501 of Regulation D. In particular, net worth in all cases should be calculated excluding the value of an investor’s home, home furnishings and automobiles.

 

 

 

SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this Offering Circular. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before deciding to invest in our Common Stock. You should read this entire Offering Circular carefully, including the risks associated with an investment in us discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of this Offering Circular, before making an investment decision. 

 

Summary

 

Ethema Health Corporation aims to develop world class centers of excellence in addiction treatment for adults. We specialize in the treatment of substance use disorders. By working with doctors and researchers, we strive to develop better assessment and treatment modalities for the industry. We operate the Addiction Recovery Institute of America, a 41-bed addiction treatment facility located in West Palm Beach, Florida. This facility is a three-story building with unfinished commercial space on the first floor and two floors of mixed commercial and residential space where clients are treated and sleep. The first-floor space is being completed at which time it will allow the center to expand to 52 beds by moving existing treatment space from the 2nd floor to the 1st Floor.

 

Through this Offering, we are looking to expand our operations through acquisition of, and partnership with, other treatment facilities. By integrating operations and reducing redundancies, we can offer an efficient and effective treatment plan to service the unique and varying needs of our patients.

Risks Related to Our Business and Strategy

 

Our ability to successfully operate our business is subject to numerous risks, including those that are generally associated with operating in the addiction treatment industry. Any of the factors set forth under “Risk Factors” below may limit our ability to successfully execute our business strategy. You should carefully consider all of the information set forth in this Offering Circular and, in particular, you should evaluate the specific factors set forth under “Risk Factors” below in deciding whether to invest in our Common Stock. Risks relating to our business and our ability to execute our business strategy include:

  

  · we may not effectively manage our growth;

 

  · we operate in a highly competitive industry and our failure to compete effectively could adversely affect our market share, revenues and growth prospects;

 

  · unfavorable publicity or consumer perception of our services could adversely affect our reputation and the demand for our services;

 

  · if the services we provide do not comply with applicable regulatory and legislative requirements, we may be required to suspend our services;

 

  · if we do not meet certain provider credentialing or service metrics, we may lose relationships with insurance providers and limit our ability to offer services to certain patients; and

 

  · changes in our management team could adversely affect our business strategy and adversely impact our performance.

 

RISK FACTORS

 

The SEC requires the company to identify risks that are specific to its business and its financial condition. The company is still subject to all the same risks that all companies in its business, and all companies in the economy, are exposed to. These include risks relating to economic downturns, political and economic events and technological developments (such as hacking and the ability to prevent hacking). Additionally, early-stage companies are inherently more risky than more developed companies. You should consider general risks as well as specific risks when deciding whether to invest.

 

Risk Factors Related to the Company and its Business

 

Our financials were prepared on a “going concern” basis.

 

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP applicable to a going concern, which assumes that we will be able to meet our obligations and continue its operations in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has a working capital deficiency of approximately $15,440,821 and accumulated deficit of approximately $45,978,688. Management believes that current available resources will not be sufficient to fund our planned expenditures over the next 12 months. Accordingly, we will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of common shares, and/or debt financing in order to implement its business plan, and generating sufficient revenue in excess of costs. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity, stockholders will experience dilution, and such securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of common stock or convertible senior notes. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt, we may be subject to limitations on its operations, through debt covenants or other restrictions. If we obtain additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or strategic partners, we may be required to relinquish its rights to certain geographical areas, or techniques that it might otherwise seek to retain. There is no assurance that we will be successful with future financing ventures, and the inability to secure such financing may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. These factors create substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded assets and liabilities or other adjustments that may be necessary should we not be able to continue as a going concern.

Any valuation of the Company at this stage is difficult to assess.

 

We established the valuation for the Offering. Unlike actively-traded companies that are valued publicly through market-driven stock prices, the valuation of limited trading companies, especially startups, is difficult to assess and you may risk overpaying for your investment. This is especially true with companies engaging in new product offerings.

 

We operate in a regulatory environment that is evolving and uncertain.

 

The healthcare and addiction treatment market is subject to various and changing regulatory schemes both federally and at the state level. These regulatory schemes are politically influenced with changes of control of our government and the composition of our state and local governments. In 2020, the United States experienced federal elections that resulted in a change in the control of both the executive and legislative branches of the federal government and some of the state governments of states in which we may look to operate. As these changes have just occurred, it is unclear what regulatory changes, if any, will be made by the new administration running the executive branch of the federal government.

  

We operate in a highly regulated industry.

 

We are subject to extensive regulation and failure to comply with such regulation could have an adverse effect on our business. Of significant note, we are subject to numerous patient privacy laws and regulations. These include federal regulations like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and 42 CFR Part 2. Among other things, these regulations govern circumstances where information about a patient can be disclosed and protects all records relating to a patient’s identity, diagnosis, prognosis or treatment in a substance abuse program related or linked to the federal government. Failure to follow these regulations can result in significant fines and other penalties that may make it impossible to operate and provide our services. In addition, some of the restrictions and rules applicable to our subsidiaries could adversely affect and limit some of our business plans.

 

We have an evolving business model.

 

Our business model is one of innovation, including continuously working to expand our patient capacity and treatment techniques; see the “The Company’s Business.” It is unclear whether our expansion plans will be successful. Further, we continuously try to adapt new methods and techniques to treat our patients, and we cannot offer any assurance that any of them will be successful. We cannot offer any assurance that any of the expansion plans or any other modifications to our footprint and treatment techniques will be successful or will not result in harm to the business. We may not be able to manage growth effectively, which could damage our reputation, limit our growth, and negatively affect our operating results.

 

We are reliant on one main type of service.

 

All of current services are variants on one type of service — providing addiction treatment for adults. Our growth and future financial performance will depend on its ability to demonstrate to prospective buyers and users the value of our services. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in this effort. Furthermore, competing alternatives may be seen to have, or may actually have, certain advantages over our services.

 

8 

 

 

We depend on key personnel and face challenges recruiting needed personnel.

 

Our future success depends on the efforts of a small number of key personnel, including our CEO, CFO, and Chairman Shawn Leon. In addition, due to our limited financial resources and the specialized expertise required, we may not be able to recruit the individuals needed for our business needs. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining the personnel we require to operate and meet the needs of our patients.

 

Our revenues and profits are subject to fluctuations.

 

It is difficult to accurately forecast our revenues and operating results, and these could fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors. These factors may include adverse changes in: number of investors and amount of investors’ dollars, the success of securities markets, general economic conditions, our ability to market our services to patients and other service providers, headcount and other operating costs, and general industry and regulatory conditions and requirements. Our operating results may fluctuate from year to year due to the factors listed above and others not listed. At times, these fluctuations may be significant and could impact our ability to operate our business. Our revenue model is new and evolving, and it cannot be certain that it will be successful. The potential profitability of its business model is unproven and there can be no assurance that we can achieve profitable operations. Our ability to generate revenues depends, among other things, on its ability to generate revenues relating to helping customers engage cleaner living in an ecological community. Accordingly, we cannot assure investors that its business model will be successful or that it can sustain revenue growth, or achieve or sustain profitability.

 

If we cannot raise sufficient funds, we will not succeed.

 

To date, we have experienced a continuing need for capital to execute our business model. We are offering securities in the amount of up to $5 million in this offering, and may close on any investments that are made. The amount we can raise in any 12-month period pursuant to Regulation A is limited to $75 million. Even if the maximum amount is raised (in this 12-month period or in subsequent periods), we are likely to need additional funds in the future in order to grow, and if we cannot raise those funds for whatever reason, including reasons relating to us or to the broader economy, we may not survive. If we manage to raise only a portion of funds sought, we will have to find other sources of funding for some of the plans outlined in “Use of Proceeds.” We do not have any alternative sources of funds committed.

 

There is no minimum amount set as a condition to closing this offering.

 

Because this is a “best effort” offering with no minimum, we will have access to any funds tendered. This might mean that any investment made could be the only investment in this offering, leaving us without adequate capital to pursue our business plan or even to cover the expenses of this offering.

  

Natural disasters and other events beyond our control could materially adversely affect us.

 

Natural disasters or other catastrophic events may cause damage or disruption to our operations, commerce and the global economy, and thus could have a strong negative effect on us. Our business operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, fire, power shortages, pandemics and other events beyond our control. Although we maintain crisis management and disaster response plans, such events could make it difficult or impossible for us to deliver our services to our customers and could decrease demand for our services. In the spring of 2020, large segments of the U.S. and global economies were impacted by COVID-19, a significant portion of the U.S. population are subject to “stay at home” or similar requirements. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 and any subsequent “breakouts” of COVID-19, on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, impact on our customers, impact on our customer, employee or industry events, and effect on our vendors, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. At this point, the extent to which COVID-19 may impact our financial condition or results of operations is uncertain. To the extent COVID-19 continues to wreak havoc on the economy and the ability to remain open may have a significant impact on our results and operations.

 

We a short operating history and limited working capital.

 

We have a limited relevant operating history upon which investors can evaluate performance and prospects and is not certain that it will maintain sustained profitability. Our business is subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including, but not limited to, limited capital, need to expand its workforce, unanticipated costs, uncertain markets, adverse changes in technology and the absence of a significant operating history. We will need to maintain significant revenues to achieve and maintain profitability and we may not be able to do so. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability in the future. If our revenues grow more slowly than we anticipate or if its operating expenses exceed expectations, our financial performance will be adversely affected. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development. We cannot assure investors that it will be successful in addressing the risks it may encounter, and its failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Failure to meet our objectives would have a material adverse effect on our operations. In particular, insufficient market demand would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Growth strategy

 

Our business model may require an effective execution of its growth strategy over a short period of time in order to scale operations quickly and establish market presence. Achieving our growth strategy may be critical in order for its business to achieve profitability. If we are unable to effectively implement its growth strategy ahead of its competition, our business, financial condition or results of operation could be materially and adversely affected.

 

Competition

 

Our market space is competitive. If we are unable to successfully compete with competitors (including both existing and new companies that enter this market space), our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. The market for our products and services is rapidly changing. Competitors may develop products and/or services that are better, less expensive or otherwise more attractive than those offered by us.

 

We may be unable to maintain its relationships.

 

We cannot assure investors that it will be successful in maintaining relationships with its customers and counterparties. Our inability to maintain these relationships could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Damage to our reputation could damage its businesses.

 

Maintaining a positive reputation is critical to us attracting and maintaining customers, counterparties, investors and employees. Damage to its reputation can therefore cause significant harm to our business and prospects. Harm to our reputation could arise from numerous sources, including, among others, employee misconduct, litigation or regulatory outcomes, compliance failures, unethical behavior and the activities of customers and counterparties. Further, negative publicity regarding us, whether or not true, may also result in harm to its prospects.

 

Market changes.

 

Our success may be dependent upon our ability to develop our market and change our business model as may be necessary to react to changing market conditions. Our ability to modify or change its business model to fit the needs of a changing marketplace may be critical to our success, and our inability to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity and financial condition.

 

Risk Factors Related to the Offering

 

There is uncertainty as to the amount of time it will take for us to deliver securities to investors under this offering.

 

The process for issuance of Common Stock is set out in “Plan of Distribution.” There may be a delay between the time you execute your subscription agreement and tender funds and the time securities are delivered to you. Although investors who provide the information required by the subscription agreement and give accurate instructions for the payment of the subscription price typically should receive their securities promptly after a complete submission, we cannot guarantee that you will receive your securities by a specific date or within a specific timeframe.

The exclusive forum provision in the subscription agreements may have the effect of limiting an investor’s ability to bring legal action against us and could limit an investor’s ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes.

 

Section 6 in each of the subscription agreements for this offering includes a forum selection provision that requires any claims against us based on the subscription agreement be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Florida. The forum selection provision will not be applicable to lawsuits arising from the federal securities laws. The provision may have the effect of limiting the ability of investors to bring a legal claim against us due to geographic limitations. There is also the possibility that the exclusive forum provision may discourage stockholder lawsuits with respect to matters arising under laws other than the federal securities laws, or limit stockholders’ ability to bring such claims in a judicial forum that they find favorable for disputes with us and our officers and directors. Alternatively, if a court were to find this exclusive forum provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

 

Investors in this offering may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to claims arising under the subscription agreements, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any action under the agreements.

 

Investors in this offering will be bound by the subscription agreements, each of which includes a provision under which investors waive the right to a jury trial of any claim they may have against us arising out of or relating to the subscription agreement, including any claims made under the federal securities laws.

 

If we opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, a court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable based on the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with the applicable state and federal law. We believe that a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision is generally enforceable, including under the laws of the State of Florida, which governs the subscription agreement, in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Florida. In determining whether to enforce a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision, courts will generally consider whether the visibility of the jury trial waiver provision within the agreement is sufficiently prominent such that a party knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived the right to a jury trial. We believe that this is the case with respect to the subscription agreement. You should consult legal counsel regarding the jury waiver provision before entering into the subscription agreement.

 

If you bring a claim against us in connection with matters arising under the subscription agreement, including claims under federal securities laws, you may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to those claims, which may have the effect of limiting and discouraging lawsuits against us. If a lawsuit is brought against us under the subscription agreement, it may be heard only by a judge or justice of the applicable trial court, which would be conducted according to different civil procedures and may result in different outcomes than a trial by jury would have had, including results that could be less favorable to the plaintiff(s) in such an action.

 

Nevertheless, if the jury trial waiver provision is not permitted by applicable law, an action could proceed under the terms of the subscription agreement with a jury trial. No condition, stipulation, or provision of the subscription agreement serves as a waiver by any holder of common shares or by us of compliance with any provision of the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated under those laws.

 

In addition, when shares of our Common Stock are transferred, the transferee is required to agree to all the same conditions, obligations and restrictions applicable to those securities or to the transferor with regard to ownership of those securities, that were in effect immediately prior to the transfer of the Common Stock, including but not limited to the subscription agreement. Therefore, purchasers in secondary transactions will be subject to this provision.

 

Future fundraising may affect the rights of investors.

 

In order to expand, we are likely to raise funds again in the future, either by offerings of securities (including post-qualification amendments to this offering) or through borrowing from banks or other sources. The terms of future capital raising, such as loan agreements, may include covenants that give creditors greater rights over our financial resources.

Holders of our Preferred Stock may be entitled to potentially significant liquidation preferences over holders of our Common Stock if we are liquidated, including upon a sale of our company.

 

Holders of our outstanding Preferred Stock may have liquidation preferences over holders of Common Stock being offered in this offering. This liquidation preference is paid if the amount a holder of Preferred Stock would receive under the liquidation preference is greater than the amount such holder would have received if such holder’s shares of Preferred Stock had been converted to Common Stock immediately prior to the liquidation event.

 

Our Common Stock is thinly traded.

 

Our Common Stock trades on the OTC Markets. It has low daily trading volume and is thinly traded. While this may change as demand for our services and Common Stock changes, there is no guarantee that adequate demand exists. Even if we seek an up-listing on the OTC Markets or another alternative trading system or “ATS,” there may not be frequent trading and therefore a lack of liquidity for the Common Stock.

 

You will need to keep records of your investment for tax purposes.

 

As with all investments in securities, if you sell the Common Stock, you will probably need to pay tax on the long- or short-term capital gains that you realize if sold at a profit or set any loss against other income. If you do not have a regular brokerage account, or your regular broker will not hold the Common Stock for you (and many brokers refuse to hold Regulation A securities for their customers) there will be nobody keeping records for you for tax purposes and you will have to keep your own records, and calculate the gain on any sales of any securities you sell.

 

The price for our Common Stock may be volatile.

 

The market price of our Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:

 

·                     The size and volume of our trading market.

·                     Having adequate capital to fulfill any reporting obligations.

·                     Inability to successfully compete against current or future competitors

·                     Adverse regulations from regulators.

·                     Departures of key personnel.

 

In addition, the securities markets have from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our securities. As a result, you may be unable to resell your securities at a desired price.

 

RISKS SPECIFIC TO THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY

 

Regulation is and licensing is very stringent.

 

The State regulatory body in Florida is the Department of Children and Families (DCF). Facilities must comply with rigid guidelines to obtain and continue to keep its licensing. In addition, many insurance companies will not pay a provider unless they are Joint Commission accredited. This accreditation is by a national provider of accreditation to healthcare facilities. ARIA is both DCF licensed and Joint Commission accredited. In addition, ARIA is legit script certified which allows the company to market itself through google pay per click advertising. There are stringent guidelines to become legit script certified and ARIA has its certification form Legit Script. ARIA must comply with all of the national healthcare laws and HIPPA requirements. There are national laws protecting individuals from patient brokering which ARIA must strictly comply with.

Limited Ability to Set Prices for Services Provided.

 

Behavioral healthcare providers depend upon reimbursement for services from insurance companies and other funders, including government funders, and have only a limited ability to set and negotiate prices for the services provided. Therefore, there is no guarantee that reimbursement for the services provided will either meet the costs of providing them or generate an operating profit. In addition, providers must negotiate reimbursement rates with each insurance company and funder, thus substantially increasing administrative costs and overhead.

 

Insurance Companies and Funders Determine What Providers They Choose to Contract for Services.

Even as a fully licensed behavioral healthcare provider, insurance companies and government funders are under no obligation whatsoever to choose to use ARIA– or any other provider - as a contracted service provider. Insurance Companies and Funders choose providers and may cancel contracts and service relationships at their discretion.

 

The Need for Highly Differentiated, Customizable Treatment is Expensive.

 

Providing effective behavioral healthcare requires clinical expertise to a diverse population with many different diagnoses, symptoms, needs, and wants. Effective providers need to therefore offer a broad array of customizable treatment platforms and justify their effectiveness to clients and funders alike. Customizing treatment and services is expensive, requiring providers to attract, retain, and train skilled staff who are specialized in treating many specific disorders. Therefore, more staff and more expensive staff is required to treat a diverse population, thereby increasing the cost of staffing and the cost of providing treatment.

 

Insurance Companies Push for Lower Levels of Care and Shorter Stays.

 

Because a provider recommends a particular level of care and treatment regimen does not equate to an insurance company or funder agreeing to pay for the provider’s recommendation with respect to level of care, services and treatment needed, or length of stay. For the past 25 years, managed care (insurance companies) has consistently pushed for lower levels of care with shorter stays. Insurance companies consistently report they are not dictating treatment, but rather only authorizing the reimbursement of treatment they are willing to pay for. In turn, providers must either spend more time and effort obtaining authorization for treatment, decline clients for further treatment or refer them elsewhere or provide treatment without insurance reimbursement or only partial reimbursement, all of which result in increased operating costs and/or decreased revenue and profitability.

 

Higher Acuity Patients Are Managed at the Outpatient Level.

 

As a result of insurance companies and funders pushing for lower levels of care and shorter stays (which reduce insurance companies’ reimbursement costs), providers are managing higher acuity patients at lower levels of care. Higher acuity patients require more staff and better trained staff which increase operating expenses and present additional risk management challenges to the organization. These operating realities add to administrative costs and management oversight responsibilities, and negatively impact the organization’s ability to operate at a profit.

 

 

DILUTION

 

Dilution means a reduction in value, control or earnings of the shares the investor owns.

 

Immediate dilution

 

An emerging growth company typically sells its shares (or grants options exercisable for its shares) to its founders and early employees at a very low cash cost because they are, in effect, putting their “sweat equity” into the company. When the company seeks cash investments from outside investors, like you, the new investors typically pay a much larger sum for their shares than the founders or earlier investors, which means that the cash value of your stake is diluted because all the shares are worth the same amount, and you paid more than earlier investors for your shares. 

 

The following table illustrates the per share dilution to new investors discussed above, assuming the sale of, respectively, $1,000,000.00, $2,000,000.00, $4,000,000.00, and $5,000,000.00 of the shares offered for sale in this Offering (before our estimated offering expenses of $50,000.00) and based on an offering price of $0.0012 per share($0.12 per Unit). The below table reflects the dilution based upon each share of Common Stock sold instead of Units to better reflect the impact on investors:

Increase in Tangible book value per share  $0.0006   $0.0011   $0.0016   $0.0018

Percentage Dilution to New Investors   (247.6)%   (210.7)%   (163.1)%   (146.9)%

 

Future dilution

 

Another important way of looking at dilution is the dilution that happens due to future actions by the company. The investor’s stake in a company could be diluted due to the company issuing additional shares. In other words, when

the company issues more shares, the percentage of the company that you own will go down, even though the value of the company may go up. You will own a smaller piece of that company. This increase in number of shares outstanding could result from a stock offering (such as an initial public offering, a subsequent Regulation A offering, a venture capital round, or angel investment), employees exercising stock options, or by conversion of certain instruments (e.g., convertible bonds, preferred shares or warrants) into stock.

 

If the company decides to issue more shares, an investor could experience value dilution, with each share being worth less than before, and control dilution, with the total percentage an investor owns being less than before. There may also be earnings dilution, with a reduction in the amount earned per share (though this typically occurs only if the company offers dividends, and most early-stage and emerging growth companies are unlikely to offer dividends, preferring to invest any earnings into the company). 

 

This type of dilution might also happen upon conversion of convertible notes into shares. Typically, the terms of convertible notes issued by emerging growth companies provide that note holders may be able to convert the balance of their convertible notes into shares at a discounted price, or a premium is added to the note allowing for a higher principal balance to be converted into shares than was initially invested. Either way, the holders of the convertible notes get more shares for their money than new investors. In the event that the price drops below the offering price in this offering, the holders of the convertible notes will dilute existing equity holders, even more than the new investors do, because they get more shares for their money. Investors should pay careful attention to the total amount of the convertible notes that the company has issued (and may issue in the future), and the terms of those notes.

 

If you are making an investment expecting to own a certain percentage of us or expecting each share to hold a certain amount of value, it’s important to realize how the value of those shares can decrease by actions taken by us. Dilution can make drastic changes to the value of each share, ownership percentage, voting control, and earnings per share.

See “RISK FACTORS.”

 

Selling Shareholders

USE OF PROCEEDS TO ISSUER

 

We estimate that if we sell the maximum amount under this Offering of $5 million from the sale of Common Stock through the sale of the Units, the net proceeds to us in this offering will be approximately $4,550,000, after deducting the estimated offering expenses of approximately $450,000.00 (including payment to marketing, legal and accounting professional fees and other expenses).

 

The table below shows the net proceeds we would receive from this offering assuming an offering size of $1 million, $2 million and $5 million, and the intended use of those proceeds. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in selling any of the shares we are offering.

We anticipate acquisitions to be our largest expected expenditure. We are looking to acquire facilities to increase the number of patients we can treat and expand the geographical footprint of our product offerings. These acquisition-related costs may consist of acquiring ownership of facilities, leasing existing facilities, acquiring existing operations in areas, in which, we hope to expand our operations. As our facilities and footprint expand, we expect to hire additional product development and quality assurance specialists. These employees will assist with improving our ability to service the needs of our patients.

 

We reserve the right to change the above use of proceeds if management believes it is in our best interest.

 

The allocation of the net proceeds of the offering set forth above represents our estimates based upon our current plans, assumptions we have made regarding the industry and general economic conditions and our future revenues (if any) and expenditures.

 

Investors are cautioned that expenditures may vary substantially from the estimates above. Investors will be relying on the judgment of our management, who will have broad discretion regarding the application of the proceeds from this offering. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including market conditions, cash generated by our operations (if any), business developments and the rate of our growth. We may find it necessary or advisable to use portions of the proceeds from this offering for other purposes.

 

In the event that we do not raise the entire amount we are seeking, then we may attempt to raise additional funds through private offerings of our securities or by borrowing funds. We do not have any committed sources of financing.

 

THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS

 

Business Model and Strategy

 

The ARIA Business Model and Strategy has been developed through a critical examination of current industry best- practice practices, emerging market trends, and the ARIA leadership team’s 12+ year track record of launching and operating successful addition treatment facilities. The ARIA Business Model and Strategy is built on a secure foundation of six key fundamental factors and strategies.

 

The Six ARIA Fundamental Business Model & Strategy Factors

 

  1. ARIA knows business and the business of behavioral health. Our skilled, multidisciplinary entrepreneurial leadership team has a proven track record creating and operating profitable addiction treatment facilities, is currently running a 41-bed addiction treatment facility providing five different levels of care delivering high-impact treatments and services.

20 

 

Clearly, our primary service is expert behavioral health services for our clients, and that requires credentialed, experienced, and committed healthcare professionals throughout the continuum of care. Our established competencies to select, hire, and retain exceptional staff is central to our success and our Personnel Plan reflects the time, thought, and energy we have committed and provides us another competitive advantage.

Our expert medical and clinical team is one half of the ARIA success equation. The other factor in the equation is the staff needed to operate the business side of the house. From marketing to billing, accounting to facility management, IT to human resources, the business and administrative leaders and staff provide the critical business acumen to realize our growth, revenue, and income objectives.

Finally, the ARIA business model demonstrates seamless integration, collaboration, and coordination across the entire organization. While our clinical staff must focus and prioritize their clinical work, they do so with an understanding of the exigencies of our business model. Similarly, administrative staff recognize our primary business is delivering behavioral healthcare services, and service delivery takes precedence. Our organizational structure and core operating protocols support specialization of function while encouraging collaboration and integration.

 

  2. ARIA is poised for rapid response in a diverse market with new opportunities. The market is primed for innovative, for-profit, professional organizations that have the vision, resources, and expertise to meet the behavioral health needs of a changing population. For example, recent researchi indicates a 445% overall increase in substance abuse treatment admissions for abuse of pain relievers across the entire adolescent and adult spectrum, including older adults.

 

Changes in substance abuse usage patterns is just one of many examples. Consider other trends reported by leading epidemiological studies: (Oltmanns, T. F. & Emery, R. E. (2015). Abnormal Psychology (8th ed.). Boston, MA: Pearson).

  · In a given year, 18% of adults have an anxiety disorder, 10% have a mood disorder, and 40% with one disorder have a comorbid disorder.

 

  · In a given year, 37% of men and 20% of women ages 20 – 35 who use alcohol have moderate to severe alcohol- related symptoms and need treatment. But less than one in four receive treatment.

 

  · Depression is the leading cause of disability in the U.S. and worldwide, accounting for 10% of all disability. It’s expected to become an even greater problem by 2022.

 

  · Younger people are experiencing higher rates of depression than their predecessors and doing so at an earlier age.

 

  · The incidence and prevalence of eating disorders, and particularly anorexia nervosa, are increasing for adolescent girls and young women. Anorexia is more common among young women who are affluent, high users of media, and those who most strongly endorse mainstream American culture and the culture of thinness.

 

  · By 2030, the aging population will result in an 80% increase in the number of people with behavioral health problems who need treatment.

 

ARIA is in the market at an auspicious time and is positioned to capitalize on today’s emerging market trends that will define the sector for years to come.

 

 

  3. ARIA has identified and can leverage new revenue sources. Recent landmark legislative changes translate into more covered lives with more reimbursable services. The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equality Act (MHPAEA) which became effective in 2010 and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) which went into effect in 2013, means more reimbursable behavioral healthcare services can be provided to more people with fewer limitations. The MHPAEA eliminates previous limitations and exclusions of behavioral healthcare reimbursement, and the ACA has resulted in an additional 10 million insured Americans in less than a year.

Significantly, the demographic who most benefitted from the Affordable Care Act are adults ages 18 - 34, a significant, under-served segment of the market that has historically had significant behavioral health care needs but who have often not engaged in services due to lack of insurance and an inability to pay for care.

 

  4. ARIA has a seasoned leadership team coupled to a robust corporate structure. ARIA’s triarchic corporate infrastructure is designed to leverage, seize, and realize market opportunities while delivering expert service.

ARIA has a world-class Marketing and Client Engagement Team able to attract, engage, and retain a multicultural and growing adolescent, adult, and older adult client base. Our research-driven marketing plan intentionally targets the fastest growing segments of the behavioral healthcare market: young adults and older adults (age 65+), while simultaneously reaching out to traditional and under-served segments of the market. Our comprehensive marketing and sales plans leverage the reach, power, and impact of technology, social media, and cultural trends to engage clients who otherwise may not seek or know how to access behavioral health services.

ARIA has outsourced an expert Compliance Department solely dedicated to efficiently managing the legal, financial, and administrative complexities inherent in today’s behavioral healthcare business and outsourced it billing function. Moreover, the leadership of our billing company reports directly to Senior Management to both maximize revenues while ensuring every invoice is legal, correct the first time, and in compliance with every regulatory requirement. By comparison, small “mom and pop” organizations often lack the legal and technical know-how to manage billing, resulting in under- billing of some services, incorrect or overbilling of other services resulting in costly fines and other legal ramifications, or both.

Effective healthcare service delivery requires organizations to abide by governmental regulatory requirements; effectively negotiate, secure, and manage multiple third-party payer contracts; and achieve diverse certification, licensure, and accreditation standards, all while providing effective care and maximizing each available revenue stream.

Our expert Billing and Compliance Department has the experience, knowledge, and tools needed to manage these complexities while ensuring compliance, maximizing revenue, streamlining operations, and increasing cash flow.

 

ARIA has established a multidisciplinary Service Delivery Team of expert behavioral healthcare professionals with a passion for delivering high-impact, successful behavioral health services. We are in the people business and our commitment to and for people is deeply imbedded throughout our mission, values, philosophy, service delivery model, and reflected through each and every aspect of our operations.

Our commitment to people is evidenced by our ability to retract and retain clients, achieve successful client outcomes, offer staff a desirable place of employment with long-term career opportunities, and create and sustain positive, collaborative, mutually rewarding relationships with our investors, partners and stakeholders.

 

Finally, our organizational infrastructure allows our Service Delivery Team to focus solely on providing expert services. We’ve pulled the marketing and billing functions out of the facility level and positioned them at the corporate level so our on-site service deliver teams can focus on delivering exceptional service. In contrast, existing corporate models of our competitors often intermingle the functions of marketing, contract management, and service delivery, resulting in ambiguous lines of responsibility, conflicted priorities, and lackluster outcomes.

 

  5. ARIA has an entrepreneurial spirit and is poised to respond to market opportunities when and where they occur. Small nonprofits and “mom-and-pop” for-profits - which comprise the bulk of current providers – often lack the leadership skills, financial resources, and business orientation to capitalize on emerging market trends.

Significant changes are occurring throughout the entire spectrum of the behavioral healthcare market. These changes are omnipresent and include:

  · Regulatory, licensing, and accreditation changes in standards of care;

  

  · Changes in payment structures and third-party payer contracts, particularly as payers have increased focused on client outcomes. For example, insurance companies expanding from fee-for-service structures to new paradigms including Select Risk Sharing approaches for episodic treatments and Population Health Management approaches for chronic disease management; (American Hospital Association Trendwatch. January 2012, p. 4).

  

22 

 

 

  · Changes in legislation at the local, state, and national level;

 

  · Changing population demographics;

 

  · Changing cultural values and views towards behavioral health treatment;

 

  · Changing needs for new and additional types of treatment and services.

An unintended consequence of the Gulf Wars is that the current generation of veterans are much more likely than their predecessors to have behavioral health issues (i.e. PTSD, Substance Abuse, Anger Management, Depression, etc.) as a result of serving in combat and are also more willing to engage in treatment. (Journal of Military Medicine, June 2010). The Veteran’s Administration is backlogged and increasingly turning to competent external providers with expertise in treating PTSD and related behavioral health disorders. Providing expert care to veterans is both a sound business opportunity and an opportunity to do the right thing and support our veterans.

For many existing behavioral health organizations, market changes are experienced as threats or challenges beyond the organization’s ability to respond. In addition, many nonprofit providers face significant governmental restrictions on where they can operate, the scope and type of services they can provide, limitations on raising capital, and simply lack the financial and leadership resources required to expand and penetrate new markets.

ARIA is designed and structured specifically to detect and capitalize on new and emerging trends. The entrepreneurial spirit is in our DNA.

We are not intimidated by changes in the marketplace. Rather, ARIA perceives market forces through the lens of opportunity. We see market and social dynamics as reflectors of broader, sociocultural forces that serve as indicators towards unrealized opportunities to building a strong, profitable enterprise with a national reach.

 

  6. ARIA has an exceptional service delivery platform. ARIA offers clients an innovative, research-based, compelling and holistic service model which helps clients reach their potential and live fulfilled, productive lives. Traditional behavioral health services are often rooted in a disease model that concentrates on reducing symptoms and decreasing the impact of mental illness and addictions, with a message to clients that may well be summarized by the phrase “We’ll help you be less sick.” But being less sick is not the same as being well and thriving, and in that difference is the power and potential of the ARIA Wellness Model.

 

The ARIA Wellness Model is built upon five pillars of wellness, with each pillar supporting every other pillar. To this end the ARIA Wellness Model is both holistic and interdependent. The 5 Pillars of Wellness are:

Pillar 1 – The Action Pillar. Positive change occurs through action and measurable behavior changes.

Pillar 2 – The Fitness Pillar. Healthy bodies support healthy minds (and vice versa). ARIA places an emphasis on nutrition, exercise, and fitness.

Pillar 3 – The Mind Pillar. Healthy minds need intellectual stimulation and resources to increase knowledge, insight, and problem-solving skills.

Pillar 4 – The Emotional Pillar. Healthy and balanced psyches require emotional intelligence and healing. These processes can be supported through practices such as yoga, meditation, and spiritual reflection.

Pillar 5 – The Social Pillar. We are social beings and need positive, healthy, supportive relationships.

 

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

ARIA aims to develop world class centers of excellence in addiction treatment for adults. We specialize in the treatment of substance use disorders. By working with doctors and researchers, we strive to develop better assessment and treatment modalities for the industry. We operate the Addiction Recovery Institute of America (ARIA), a three story, 25,000 square foot, 41-bed addiction treatment facility located in West Palm Beach, Florida.

 

ARIA is equipped to provide a full spectrum of behavioral health care. Our continuum of care encompasses:

 

Inpatient Medically Managed Detoxification treatment (IP Detox). Per the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), clients in IP Detox are in an inpatient, medically managed setting for 5-10 days as they undergo detoxification that treats the physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms of substance dependence.

23 

 

 

IP Detox services are physician led and supported by 24-hour, onsite nursing care. The need for IP Detox is based on the nature and type of substances used and their duration, the client’s overall medical and psychological presentation, and the client’s previous history with detoxification and substance abuse treatment programs. (Center for Substance Abuse Treatment. Detoxification and Substance Abuse Treatment. Rockville (MD): Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (US); 2006. (Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP) Series, No. 45.) 2 Settings, Levels of Care, and Patient Placement. Available from: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK64109/).

 

Outpatient Medically Managed Detoxification Treatment (OP Detox). OP Detox is similar to IP Detox, but is less restrictive and offered to clients with less severe substance problems who present fewer risks for medical complications from detoxification. OP Detox services are physician led and 24-hour nursing care is provided. Similar to IP Detox, OP Detox can last for 3-10 days, depending on the client’s presentation and needs. (Ibid) Clients can reside in their own home or at a ARIA residence.

 

Partial Hospital Programs (PHP). Clients participate in treatment 4-6 hours per day, 3-5 days per week, for several weeks or months while living in their own home or in a ARIA residence. Treatment hours typically range from 15 – 30 hours per week.

PHP programs provide a variety of best-practice individual and group therapies based upon clients’ diagnoses, needs, levels of functioning, and individual treatment goals. (Center for Substance Abuse Treatment. Substance Abuse: Clinical Issues in Intensive Outpatient Treatment. Rockville (MD): Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (US); 2006. (Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP) Series, No. 47.) Intensive Outpatient Treatment and the Continuum of Care. Available from: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK64088/). PHPs offer clients a similar level of treatment offered in a traditional inpatient psychiatric setting, while being less restrictive and allowing the client to live at home or in a residential setting, rather than a hospital setting.

 

PHPs can be targeted to a specific demographic, for example older adults, or specific diagnoses such as polysubstance abuse or eating disorders.

 

Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP). Clients engaged in IOPs attend treatment 2-3 hours per day, 3-5 days per week, often with minimum length of treatment at 90 days. However, treatment duration can extend considerably longer, depending on the client’s progress in treatment, needs, level of functioning, and individual treatment plan goals. Licensing standards may require a minimum of 9 hours of treatment per week. (Ibid).-

 

IOP is less restrictive than a PHP, which means clients can engage in additional activities, such as education, job training, full- and part-time employment, nutrition and fitness programs, and other activities promoting health, wellness, growth, and personal productivity.

 

Outpatient Treatment (OP). Outpatient treatment represents the lowest level of care and is least restrictive. Clients can participate in OP treatment as often as 2-3 times per week or as little as bi-weekly or even once a month. Often OP treatment is used in a maintenance capacity for clients who have completed detoxification, PHP, and IOP programs.

 

Medicare regulations note that clients in OP behavioral treatment may be seen by psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, clinical social workers, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. (Medicare.gov (2014). Mental Health Care (Outpatient). Retrieved 12.19.15 at http://www.medicare.gov/coverage/outpatient-mental-health-care.html). OP treatment can be provided for mental health disorders, substance abuse disorders, and co-occurring disorders.

 

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW AND MARKET OPPORTUNITY

 

In 2014, Americans spent $239 billion on behavioral healthcare. This sizable market is growing at a compound rate of 7%, has been doing so for 20 years, and is projected for similar growth for the next 20 years. (Acadia Healthcare Investor Presentation August 2014, pp.12-14.) It is not only a large market, it can be a profitable one.

24 

 

 

Leading behavioral health providers consistently report attractive gross operating profits between 18% - 30%. (Acadia Healthcare Investor Presentation August 2014, p. 11).

 

Investors today are recognizing opportunities in behavioral health. Bain & Company’s Global Healthcare Private Equity Report 2014 (Bain & Company Global Healthcare Private Equity Report, 2014. pp. 6-7.) notes the market is generating “a great deal of interest” because of robust organic growth, strong stock performance, and increasing activity in mergers and acquisitions, most recently evidenced by Acadia Healthcare’s (backed by Waud Capital) October 2014 announcement of its $1.18 billion purchase of CFC Health Group, Inc. (Bloomberg.com. Acadia Healthcare to Buy CRC Health in $1.18 Billion Deal. 10.29.14. Retrieved 12.1.14 at http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-10-29/acadia-healthcare-to-buy-crc-health-in-1-18-billion-deal.html).

 

A Changing Behavioral Health Landscape

 

The most significant problem in the behavioral healthcare market is its over-representation of small “mom-and-pop” providers who lack both the business acumen and the specialized, evidence-based treatment offerings needed to meet the rising standards of 21st century behavioral healthcare.

 

Unlike many sectors dominated by large industry leaders, behavioral healthcare has historically been defined by its small, local providers. In contrast, the $300 billion-dollar global pharmaceutical market’s 10 largest companies control over

$100 billion revenues, about 35% of the market. (WHO/Pharmaceutical 2014. Retrieved 12.5.14 at http://www.who.int/trade/glossary/story073/en/#). In comparison, the combined annual revenues of the four largest U.S. behavioral health providers (including Acadia and CRC) are $2 billion or about 1% of the $239 billion national market. (Acadia Healthcare Investor Presentation August 2014).

 

The impact of a sector dominated by small, local providers has three distinct ramifications:

 

Lackluster and under-defined service offerings. Effective behavioral healthcare requires the capacity to deliver specialized treatments for many distinct substance abuse and mental health problems to a highly differentiated population. Small providers tend toward a “one-size-fits-all” approach, lacking the bandwidth to provide a full spectrum of specialized treatment. Insurance companies, government regulators, and clients are increasingly rejecting outmoded practices.

 

Lack of business acumen from small and financially frail providers. Providing effective behavioral healthcare also requires business acumen. Many small, struggling providers are run by recovering addicts or social workers, not businesspeople. While well-intentioned, their business competencies and resources are inadequate to the task.

 

Increasing scrutiny by insurance companies and regulators is driving consolidation. Insurance companies and governmental agencies increasingly require behavioral healthcare providers to show evidence that their treatment works. Providers need to be able to provide expert treatment and then measure and report results. Small providers often lack the capacity to do so.

 

Therefore, the market is primed for consolidation. The American Hospital Association (American Hospital Association Trendwatch. January 2012.) projects consolidation for the entire behavioral health sector continuing well into the foreseeable future. Providers unable to perform will be driven out. Savvy, competent providers will move in to fill the gaps. These realities are driving private equity interest in behavioral health.

Market Growth: More People Need Behavioral Healthcare and More Can Pay for It

 

The growing behavioral health market is driven by increasing numbers of people who need and want behavioral healthcare.

 

  · Behavioral health disorders affect 25% or 75 million Americans each year. Only about half who need treatment receive it. (ibid).

 

  · 20% of adolescents have a severe behavioral health disorder. (Oltmanns, T. F. & Emery, R. E. (2015). Abnormal Psychology (8th ed.). Boston, MA: Pearson).

 

25 

 

 

  · 20% of returning Veterans from the Gulf Wars have PTSD. (Journal of Military Medicine, June 2010).

 

  · By 2030, the aging population will result in an 80% increase in the number of people with behavioral health problems who need treatment. (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. A Profile of Older Americans, 2012).

 

In addition, recent legislative changes have resulted in 10 million additional insured Americans with behavioral healthcare coverage. And, the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equality Act (MHPAEA) of 2008 removed barriers by ending arbitrary caps on behavioral health treatment.

 

MARKETING

 

With several unique but similar revenue sources, there are different marketing strategies that overlap with each other. ARIA is creating a marketing strategy for each revenue classification. ARIA will utilize multiple medias to target and reach a diverse customer base, including internet, social media, newspapers, and national media.

 

At the center of the ARIA Marketing Strategy is a three-pronged marketing strategy that reaches three unique customer groups. The three groups are:

 

  · Clients and Family Members: ARIA end users.

 

  · Insurance Companies and Funders: Those entities, particularly insurance companies and government funders, who are primary payers of behavioral healthcare services.

 

  · Community Partners: Critical referral sources who are able to direct clients to ARIA for behavioral healthcare treatment.

 

The ARIA Marketing Orientation and Strategy

 

1. Provide Clients and Families a Simple, User-Friendly Engagement Experience with Fast Access to Excellent Treatment

 

Clients and families who are in crisis and experiencing chaos because of acute behavioral health issues are often tense, frustrated, upset, impatient, and often not thinking very clearly. People are simply not at their best - and often their worst. Therefore, the responsibility falls upon our professional, trained staff to de-escalate, engage clients and families, and provide a simple and helpful way to get help.

 

By definition, being in crisis is the experience of being out of control. Therefore, ARIA’s ability to provide a calm, helpful client engagement and intake experience de-escalates crises and empowers people to regain needed self-control. In fact, that is the first step in treatment. From the point of entry our clients and families experience our respect, competencies, and expert care as we build the foundation for positive relationships and treatment outcomes.

 

Delays to start treatment, complicated paperwork and confusing instructions are all factors which reduce the possibility of the client ever even beginning treatment. Our knowledgeable Intake and Client Engagement Team create a pleasant and helpful experience to our clients and families. Because we are already an in-network provider with many major insurance companies, treatment approvals are expedited.

 

Our experience in behavioral healthcare, along with supporting evidence and performance improvement initiatives, demonstrates that the longer clients have to wait to begin treatment, the less likely they are to do so. Particularly for those seeking detoxification services, when clients must delay treatment, they are more likely to continue using, increase their use, or simply give up on treatment completely.

 

26 

 

 

Integrated, User-Friendly Access Routes for Clients and their Families

  

  1. Our website and social media sites are easy to navigate and free of technical jargon, clearly describe what we do and for whom, and provide easy access for clients and families to get information and begin treatment. Clients can make intake appointments online, chat online with an intake specialist, leave a message for us, or call us and speak in-person with a knowledgeable Intake Specialist.

 

  2. Our central information, referral, and intake telephone number is answered by a trained and knowledgeable Intake Specialist who can answer questions, de-escalate a crisis, and immediately initiate the client intake process, either over the phone or by scheduling a same-day in-person intake appointment.

 

  3. Our on-site Walk-in Access Center staffed by our Intake Specialists can immediately respond to client’s needs and begin the intake process. Once clients are approved for treatment, they can begin treatment the same day or by the next business day.

 

  4. For clients who need help getting to us, our Client Intake and Engagement Team will arrange transportation to our facility within a 25-mile radius at no charge to the client.

 

2.                Demonstrate Competence and Credibility to Insurance Companies and Government Funders Insurance Companies Want Trustworthy, Business-Minded Behavioral Health Providers

Insurance companies want in-network providers who are business-minded and provide quality care. While a client receives treatment, payment for most of the costs of the treatment is coming from the client’s insurance company. Insurance companies prefer working with business-minded providers who evidence quality care, submit accurate and timely bills that adhere to agreed-upon authorizations, and have a discharge plan that maximizes the client’s outcome and reduces the likelihood for further treatment. Increasingly, insurance companies are requiring evidence-based treatment that maximize positive client outcomes.

 

In addition, insurance companies are also an important ARIA referral source and an important aspect of our overall growth plan. Frequently, clients, families, and providers contact insurance companies in order to know where to direct someone into treatment. Insurance companies are then going to refer their customers to providers who they know and trust. Therefore, we prioritize creating a mutually beneficial, collaborative relationship with every insurance company.

 

Government Agencies Want Providers Who Evidence the Competence to Deliver Care

Government funders and licensing bodies want providers who meet all regulatory requirements, provide quality care, and uphold public trusts. Government agencies, as both regulatory bodies and also as funders, are increasingly placing higher demands upon providers, both in their ability to deliver quality, evidence-based-care, but also requiring the provider to demonstrate positive, client outcomes.

 

  3. Build a Comprehensive Referral Network with the Community

 

In addition to engaging clients and families to initiate treatment, it is of equal importance for ARIA’s marketing strategy to identify, target, and build positive, mutually rewarding relationships with diverse members of the community who serve as our referral sources. The nature of this relationship is best described by the term partnership, where each party actively supports and enhances the other.

 

In addition, more formalized relationships, for example, with hospitals, community agencies, and governmental bodies may utilize signed Letters of Intent (LOIs) in which specific terms of the relationships between ARIA and the community partner are agreed upon, signifying the breadth and depth of the relationship and providing mechanisms to better share information and collaborate (for example, a hospital that has patients sign Release of Information forms for ARIA in advance so the hospital can provide otherwise confidential client information directly to ARIA for an expedited referral). While there may be an almost limitless and ever-expanding base of community referral sources and partners, several have particular salience to the ARIA marketing plan. These include:

27 

 

 

Primary Care Providers (PCPs). Primary care providers know their patients well, observe changes in patient functioning, and/or may be the first to observe the onset of a disorder or worsening symptoms and impaired functioning of an already diagnosed behavioral health disorder. Research evidences that 50% of all behavioral health disorders are treated in primary care and the majority of psychotropic medications are prescribed by PCPs. Considering ARIA’s continuum of care (adolescents, adults, and older adults), ARIA’s relationships with PCPs would also include pediatricians and gerontologists.

 

Although primary care providers (PCPs) are treating many behavioral health disorders, this should not be interpreted that there are not unmet behavioral health needs or that individual PCPs want to treat behavioral disorders.

 

A PCP’s decision to treat a patient’s behavioral health problems may likely reflect a gap in available behavioral health services, a lack of knowledge on the part of the PCP of what behavioral health resources are available, a lack of expertise by the PCP in what is required to accurately assess, diagnose, and treat a patient’s behavioral health disorder, and resistance by patients to enter behavioral health services (often based in the stigma associated with behavioral health conditions).

 

Hospital Emergency Departments (ED) and Urgent Care Centers. Because of gaps in service and long delays in obtaining outpatient appointments, potential behavioral healthcare clients increasingly present in hospital emergency departments and urgent care centers to seek behavioral health care services, often because they do not know where else to go or little else is available. While about one fourth of hospitals have acute psychiatric inpatient services, many do not have the continuum of behavioral health services ARIA provides, especially residential services. Moreover, the majority of ED patients neither need nor want acute inpatient care, nor do they meet the criteria for it. Studies indicate as many as 50% of behavioral health clients are first diagnosed in EDs. ED staff are often desperate to find appropriate referral services, which is required as part of the patient’s discharge plan from the ED.

 

Inpatient Psychiatric Facilities. Although the majority of hospitals do not offer acute inpatient psychiatric care, for those who do, patients consistently require follow-up outpatient care upon discharge from the inpatient unit. Many hospitals have either no or limited outpatient behavioral health services and thus must refer to local providers. The hospital inpatient staff, and particularly psychiatric social workers, are held responsible to create a discharge plan that must include appropriate follow-up care, including residential services. Collaborative, mutually beneficial relationships between ARIA and area inpatient psychiatric units offers significant opportunities for ongoing referrals and improved client outcomes.

 

Private Third-Party Payers (Insurance Companies). The ARIA plan includes being a contracted in-network behavioral healthcare provider to 50% of all clients. Increasingly, insurance companies, and particularly HMOs and PPOs, refer their clients directly to contracted in-network behavioral health providers. Such referrals have an additional advantage of having a pre-approved reimbursement status for ARIA’s assessment and diagnostic services. Additionally, because the costs of providing medically managed detox, partial hospitalization, and outpatient services are dramatically less expensive than acute inpatient psychiatric care, the less restrictive and expensive continuum of care ARIA provides is cost- effective and attractive to funders.

 

Social Service and Community Organizations. Because people with significant behavioral health disorders are likely to have other impairments in functioning, they are more likely to be affiliated with social service providers and using social services. Therefore, the ARIA market segment strategy encompasses building collaborative relationships with key social service organizations, including:

 

Child Protective Services. Often, families become involved with child protective services because of a parent’s mental illness or substance abuse problem that results in poor parenting or threatens a child’s safety or care. Child protective services and their affiliated, contracted social service organizations (e.g. foster care providers) are frequently seeking behavioral health services for parents so children can either stay at home or return home.

 

Aging, Elder Care Services, Nursing Homes, and Retirement Communities. When older adults are having difficulties caring for themselves and remaining independent due to dementia and other related behavioral health conditions, behavioral health services are often needed. However, geriatric behavioral health resources are frequently not available. And as previously stated, due to both Florida’s high proportion of older adults and the overall trend towards and aging population, older adult healthcare needs are projected to significantly increase for the next several decades.

28 

 

 

Welfare, Homeless, and Employment Services. Because behavioral health problems result in impaired functioning, those with these problems are less likely to be working, more likely to be poor, and more likely to need and receive social services. Social workers and case workers providing direct care to these clients often can assess and help the client get to and receive needed behavioral health services. In turn, ARIA can refer clients to social service agencies as part of their rehabilitation and recovery process.

 

Community Organizations. Local churches, synagogues, community centers, AA/NA groups, and advocacy organizations such as the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) all have significant contact with those in need of behavioral health services. All are potential referral sources.

 

Schools and Academic Institutions. Again, our objective is to be known to those who know and work with our clients. For adolescents and college students, schools and academic institutions often have more in-depth and frequent contact with young people than their families. Moreover, students may disclose thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to trusted school personnel that they may not disclose to parents. Therefore, these organizations, and especially professional staff such as guidance counselors, principals, and faculty may be more apt to observe a change in a student’s behavior and seek to intervene on their behalf.

 

Our objective is to create collaborative relationships that are beneficial to the client, the school, and in turn, ourselves. For example, it is important for students to remain current in their studies while in treatment, so our adolescent behavioral health programs provide mechanisms for students to receive homework assignments, tutoring, and opportunities to submit their school work on a timely basis.

 

The Criminal Justice System. In the U.S., it is estimated that between 25% - 40% of those involved with the criminal justice system have behavioral health problems. While very significant, even these statistics may be too conservative. A 2011 Legal Action Report provides evidence that 67% of incarcerated individuals have a substance abuse disorder. (Legal Action Report 2011. Legality of Denying Access to Medication Assisted Treatment In the Criminal Justice System). Increasingly, states are moving to specialized drug courts which offer opportunities for substance abuse and behavioral health treatment for young offenders and first time drug offenders in lieu of incarceration. Parole boards and probation officers are increasingly seeking behavioral health services to reduce recidivism and improve outcomes.

 

The state of Florida has two new programs as part of SAMHSA’s GAIN’s Center for Behavioral Health and Justice Transformation as part of its Jail Diversion and Trauma Recovery Program (with a priority for Veterans). These programs managed by Florida’s Jail Diversion and Trauma Recover Project and the Florida Department of Children and Families. (Florida Department of Children and Families (2014). Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Plan 2014-2016).

 

Provide Community Referral Sources a Pleasant, Expedited, and Professional Referral Experience. Referrals we receive from other professionals, and especially our key community partners, are handled by our professional and courteous ARIA Client Engagement Team. Whether the referral source is a hospital, doctor, school, or an insurance company, the professional ARIA Client Engagement Team ensures a smooth, efficient, and pleasant referral experience.

 

Similar to our policy with clients who seek admission on their own behalf, our practice is to create a fast, efficient pathway to engage the client and offer treatment the same day or the next business day. Fast admissions are especially important to EDs, urgent care centers, and hospital inpatient units, because hospital and medical staff are under pressure to discharge the patient quickly and with an appropriate discharge plan.

 

Our marketing strategy to target and engage key community partners reflects our knowledge of the business of behavioral health, the operational realities of healthcare practice, and an insider’s knowledge of the pressures our community partners face. Our objective is to be the behavioral healthcare solution for our community partner’s with a simple, quick, and professional referral process where we can quickly accept clients and clients can quickly begin treatment. Professionals and the public at-large are all too familiar with cumbersome bureaucracies, overly-complicated processes, and unhelpful people. We have a passion for excellence in customer service and that passion is made manifest at the point of entry and throughout the ARIA experience. For this reason, we have intentionally positioned our Client Engagement Team in our Marketing Department.

29 

 

 

Our experience in behavioral healthcare has shown that competent, responsive behavioral healthcare providers who create a quick and pleasant referral process get more referrals. Our objective is to be the go-to behavioral health provider to our referral sources and community partners. In doing so, we leverage technology to expedite referrals and offer transportation to bring the client to us.

 

  4. Identify Emerging Trends, Innovate, and Act.

 

The market segmentation analysis leverages rich data from multiple sources: business sector analytics, epidemiological studies, public health and governmental reports, and scientific, published clinical studies to clearly describe and identify the characteristics and needs of specialized target markets. For example, three recent emerging trends are burgeoning needs for behavioral health treatment for returning veterans, increased need for substance abuse treatment for older adults with prescription drug dependencies, and increased needs for mental health services for older adults.

 

The ARIA market segmentation analysis accomplishes two core objectives. The ARIA market segmentation analysis demonstrates both what markets and segments we identify and target, but also the process of how we determine what markets to identify and target. A critical aspect of intelligent, responsive behavioral healthcare practice is the capacity to harness and leverage scientific research and epidemiological data to identify emerging trends, act on them, and achieve growth and income objectives.

 

One emerging trend is an aging population with increasing behavioral healthcare needs. Although the Florida has the highest proportion of adults aged 65+ in the United States, the aging population is impacting many states.

 

Another factor in market segmentation analysis is to identify trends in income. The healthcare analytics firm Sg2 notes FY 2014 Medicare payment increases of 2% for inpatient admissions, 6% for psychiatrists, and 8% for clinical psychologists and social workers. (Sg2 Centers for Strategic planning and Performance Strategy (2014). Reconsidering Behavioral Health).

 

Not only are Medicare reimbursements rising, so are state budgets for mental health spending, including Florida’s 2015 budget.

 

Finally, the data on the again U.S. population evidences that the emerging trend is going to gain momentum in the near future. The ARIA market segmentation analysis provides the foundation for our marketing plan. It provides:

 

  · The breadth and depth of specific behavioral health problems (categories and types of diagnoses and disorders).

 

  · Demographics of a problem, diagnosis, or disorder (e.g. age, gender, socioeconomic status).

 

  · The level of treatment and range of services appropriate to the person and the disorder (e.g. medically managed detox versus partial hospitalization).

 

Emerging trends ARIA reflect gaps in the current healthcare system. These emerging trends point towards high-demand services that are scalable and demonstrate significant growth and income potential. The ARIA business model and structure is strategically designed to identify emerging trends, service gaps, and market opportunities and respond to them with high-impact, evidenced-based services which are attractive to clients and payers alike.

30 

 

 

 

  5. Provide Specialized Services that Match Client Needs and Leverage Clinical Competencies

It is unlikely that any one behavioral healthcare provider can effectively provide treatment to every person with every type of behavioral healthcare need. Therefore, identifying what services are provided and to whom becomes an essential aspect of the ARIA business plan. The ARIA market segmentation analysis provides many valuable insights to our service delivery models and processes.

 

First, ARIA has identified six levels of care we will initially provide: Medically managed detox (both inpatient and outpatient), residential services, partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient, and outpatient services. These six levels for care coupled with targeted treatment modalities and services provide an excellent continuum where a client can begin at higher levels of care and graduate to lower levels of care as they progress and reach interim treatment goals.

 

For example, a client entering ARIA with cocaine and alcohol dependence would begin in our medically managed detox program, then move into our residential services where he could continue treatment in our partial hospitalization program. When those treatment goals are realized and the client continues to improve, the client remains in our residential services and again graduates to the intensive outpatient program, in clinical terms representing a less structured, lower level of care. While in our intensive outpatient program, the client has further opportunities to increase participation in wellness activities, such as physical fitness, nutrition, or education and job training opportunities.

 

Finally, as the client continues to achieve these treatment and wellness goals, the client may again graduate to our outpatient program, with the objective of returning to the community at-large and realizing one’s human potential. Clients are welcomed and encouraged to continue on an ongoing basis in outpatient services in a maintenance capacity, both as a prophylactic to mitigate the possibility of future setbacks and relapses and also as a positive impetus for continued personal growth and well- being.

 

Research on substance abuse outcomes evidence increased amount of treatment (higher levels of care such as partial hospitalization programs and intensive outpatient treatment) and greater frequency of treatment and aftercare counseling are associated with improved client outcomes (Oltmanns & Emery, 2015 citing Amato et. al, 2011; Glasner-Edwards & Rawson, 2010). In addition, positive long-term outcomes for substance abuse evidence that “improvements following treatment are usually not limited to drug use alone but extend to the person’s health as well as his or her social and occupational functioning” (Oltmanns & Emery, 2015, p. 312). This is yet another example of the science-driven ARIA Wellness Model crafted from important, recent evidenced-based research.

 

Because the ARIA medically managed detoxification program represents our highest level of care, providing clinically appropriate follow-up services to initial detoxification is critical. Clinical and epidemiological studies provide evidence as to what providers may encounter when providing substance abuse treatment. According to a 2011 study on gender differences in substance abuse disorders in the U.S. across the lifespan (Agrawal, Heath, & Lynskey, 2011), data reveal the following:

 

  · 26% of men aged 20 – 35 have moderate substance dependency symptoms and 11% of men in this age group have severe substance dependency symptoms.

 

  · By comparison, for the same 20 – 35 age group, 12% of women have moderate substance dependency symptoms and 4% have severe substance dependency symptoms. (Note: Whether the symptoms are identified as moderate or severe, both would meet the diagnostic criteria of substance dependency and are appropriate for treatment).

 

  · However, from the ages of 36 – 47, gender differences diminish, with 5% of men having severe symptoms compared to 3% of women.

 

Additionally, further research evidences:

 

  · Alcohol-related disorders are the most common forms of mental disorder in the U.S.

 

  · In the U.S., 20% of all men and women who have ever used alcohol will develop serious problems at some point in the lives as a consequence of prolonged alcohol consumption (Oltmanns & Emery, 2015). This phenomenon has been supported by various studies for at least 25 years and appears to be ongoing.

 

31 

 

 

  · The National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (2006) notes a lifetime prevalence rate of 30% for alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence for men and women.

 

  · Only 24% of men and women diagnosed with alcohol dependence have ever received treatment for it.

 

  · Men and women who began drinking before the age of 14 have a rate of alcoholism about double of those who began drinking at age 18.

 

In addition, there are several common comorbid disorders frequently associated with substance abuse disorders. These include:

 

  · Mood disorders such as major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder.

 

  · Anxiety disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorders, and generalized anxiety disorders.

 

  · Traumatic disorders, such as PTSD (a particularly prevalent an increasing phenomenon for veteran with combat- based PTSD). And again, Florida has the third largest population of veterans in the U.S., following California and Texas.

 

  · Eating disorders such as anorexia in adolescent girls and young women.

 

  · Conduct disorders in adolescents.

 

Therefore, efficacious treatment of substance disorders clearly speaks to the need for and the competencies to treat mood disorders, anxiety disorders, traumatic disorders, eating disorders in adults and adolescents, and conduct disorders in adolescents. Moreover, specific diagnoses and disorders require specific treatment modalities, ranging from behavioral treatments, to cognitive-behavioral treatments, psychopharmacological treatments, and integrative treatment approaches. These specialized treatments draw upon the training, skills, and experience of an expert clinical team able to provide specialized, targeted treatments to meet individual needs and goals.

Competition

 

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

Loss on advance was $0 and $120,000 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $120,000 or 100.0%. The company wrote off funds advanced to Local link wellness which were deemed to be uncollectible in 2021.

 

Fair value of warrants granted to convertible debt holders

 

Fair value of warrants granted to convertible debt holders was $0 and $854,140 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, a decrease of $854,140 or 100%. In 2021, we granted warrants to certain convertible debt holders in terms of agreements entered into with them, whereby any debt issued subsequent to their debt on more favorable terms would result in the debt holders being entitled to the same terms as issued to the subsequent debt holders. We issued warrants for a total of 195,963,598 shares of common stock which was valued using a Black Scholes valuation model.

 

Penalty on notes and convertible notes

 

Penalty on notes and convertible notes was $60,075 and $9,240 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, an increase of $50,835 or 550.2%. In 2022, the penalty on notes relates to additional principle on certain short term notes which were not paid by due date. In 2021 the penalty on convertible notes relates to a fee paid for the extension of repayment dates on the Labrys note.

 

Interest income 

 

Interest income was $78 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 respectively. The interest income is immaterial.

 

Interest expense

 

Interest expense was $588,477 and $829,525 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $241,048 or 29.1%, primarily due to the decrease in convertible note funding during the current year.

 

Debt discount

 

Debt discount was $624,683 and $1,965,551 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a decrease of $1,340,868 or 68.2%. The decrease is primarily due to funding arising from other sources without significant debt discount instruments such as warrants being issued to fund operations, the majority of debt discount has been fully amortized in the current and prior year.

 

Derivative liability movement

 

We adopted ASU 2020-06 during the current year, which eliminated the derivative liability as our convertible notes with down-round features no longer met the definition of a derivative instrument. The derivative liability movement during the prior year represents the mark to market movements of variably priced convertible notes and warrants issued during prior years.

 

Foreign exchange movements

 

Foreign exchange movements was $1,071,320 and $(34,301) for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively and represents the realized exchange gains and (losses) on monetary assets and liabilities settled during the current year as well as mark to market adjustments on monetary assets and liabilities reflected on the balance sheet and denominated in Canadian Dollars. During the current period we disposed of Greenstone Muskoka resulting in the unrealized translation difference becoming a realized gain.

The 2022 charge relates to the profitable Evernia operations, while the tax credit in the prior year arose due to the reversal of prior years’ accrual for $250,000 in penalty tax for non-disclosure of foreign entities in the US tax return, a deferred tax movement of $37,588 on the amortization of licenses which arose on the acquisition of ATHI and Evernia, and a small tax provision on profits realized on the ATHI and Evernia results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have prepared our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP applicable to a going concern, which assumes that we will be able to meet our obligations and continue our operations in the normal course of business. At June 30, 2023 we had a working capital deficiency of $9.3 million, and total liabilities in excess of assets in the amount of $7.9 million . We believe that current available resources will not be sufficient to fund our planned expenditures over the next 12 months. These factors, individually and collectively indicate that a material uncertainty exists that raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. 

 

We are dependent on the raising additional capital through placement of common shares, and/or debt financing in order to implement our business plan and generating sufficient revenue in excess of costs. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity, stockholders will experience dilution, and such securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of common stock or convertible senior notes. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt, we may be subject to limitations on its operations, through debt covenants or other restrictions. If we obtain additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or strategic partners, we may be required to relinquish our rights to certain geographical areas, or techniques that we might otherwise seek to retain. There is no assurance that we will be successful with future financing ventures, and the inability to secure such financing may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Cash generated from operating activities was $35,488 and $246,940 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, a decrease of $211,452. The decrease is primarily due to the following:

 

  An increase in net income of $2,190,868, discussed under operations above.

      

  Offset by an increase in the movement of non-cash items of $2,620,795, primarily due to the movement in the gain on disposal of subsidiary of $2,496,069 and the movement in the amortization of debt discount of $322,667, offset by the prior period derivative liability movement of $130,437.

     

  The movement in working capital increased by $212,475, primarily due to the increase in movement in accounts receivable of $89,751 and an increase in the movement in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $228,088, offset by a reduction in the movement of taxation payable of $75,780.

 

Cash generated by operating activities was $1,577,079 and cash used in operating activities was $85,567 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively an increase of $1,662,646 or 1,943.1%. The decrease is primarily due to the following:

 

·                       The increase in net income of $1.9 million, as discussed above.
·                       The decrease in non-cash movements of $(0.3) million, primarily due to the movement in amortization of debt discount of $(1.3) million,  the movement in fair value of warrants issued of $(0.9) million, offset by the movement in derivative liabilities of $1.5 million, the movement in depreciation and amortization of $0.2 million and the movement in the amortization of right of use assets of $0.14 million.
   
·                       The release of cash from working capital of $0.1 million.  

 

 Cash used in investing activities was $58,320 and $213,726 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The purchase of property and equipment in both periods related to the expansion of the in-patient treatment facility.

 

Cash used in investing activities was $0.7 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We invested $0.4 million in deposits to acquire the building in which Evernia conducts its operations and the purchase of plant and equipment on the expansion of the Evernia facility. In 2021, we invested $0.5 million in the Evernia treatment facility based in West Palm Beach, prior to acquisition. We also purchased property and equipment of $0.1million, primarily to support the Evernia operation during the current year.

 

Cash (used in) provided by financing activities was $(210,255) and $127,259 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In the current period the Company received proceeds from related parties of $78,246. We received receivables funding of $264,750 and repaid $448,905 for a net repayment of $184,155, we made mortgage repayments of $58,320 on the CCH property which has subsequently been sold together with the mortgage liability. In the prior period we made a net repayment to convertible promissory note holders of $118,467 and received receivables funding of $195,500 of which $15,000 was repaid, in addition we received funding from our related parties of $207,294.

 

Cash generated by financing activities was $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During 2022, we raised $0.7 million in receivables funding and repaid $0.3 million. In addition we raised $0.3 million from related parties and $0.2 million from promissory notes and repaid $0.3 million. During 2021 we raised $1.2 million and repaid $0.5 million in convertible notes, primarily to fund the Evernia operations.

 

Over the next twelve months we estimate that the company will require approximately $0.5 million in working capital as it continues to develop the Evernia facility and it is also exploring several other treatment center options and sources of patients throughout the country. The Company also has convertible notes, short term loans and secured promissory notes which have matured and are in default and the Company may have to raise equity or secure debt. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful with future financing ventures, and the inability to secure such financing may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. In the opinion of management, the Company’s liquidity risk is assessed as high due to this uncertainty.

 

We have prepared our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP applicable to a going concern, which assumes that we will be able to meet our obligations and continue our operations in the normal course of business. At June 30, 2023 we had a working capital deficiency of $9.3 million, and total liabilities in excess of assets in the amount of $7.9 million . We believe that current available resources will not be sufficient to fund our planned expenditures over the next 12 months. These factors, individually and collectively indicate that a material uncertainty exists that raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Ethema Health Corporation

West Palm Beach, Florida

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ethema Health Corporation (the Company) at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

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

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

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

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has accumulated deficit of approximately $43.5 million and negative working capital of approximately $12.7 million at December 31, 2022, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 4. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Accounting for Embedded Conversion Features on Convertible Notes – Refer to Notes 11 and 17 to the Financial Statements

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of derivatives is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value of the derivative liabilities. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to the valuation models used and related variable inputs used within those models.

 

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate; evaluating the appropriateness of the valuation techniques; testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the model; and evaluating the significant assumptions used by management, including the values of expected volatility and discount rate. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to the volatility amounts and discount rates involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering the current and historical performance, the consistency with external market and industry data, and whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Nature of business

 

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

 

The Company also owns the real estate on which its Greenstone Muskoka clinic operated. The current tenant operates an addiction treatment center on these premises. The Company collects rent on this property, which is treated as a separate business segment. 

     

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

 

Financial Reporting

 

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

 

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

 

a) Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

b) Principals of consolidation and foreign currency translation

 

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

 

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries functional currency is the Canadian dollar, while the Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. All transactions initiated in Canadian dollars are translated into US dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Translation” as follows:

 

  Monetary assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date.

  

  Certain non-monetary assets and liabilities and equity at historical rates.

 

  Revenue and expense items and cash flows at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the year.

 

Adjustments arising from such translations are deferred until realization and are included as a separate component of stockholders’ deficit as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Therefore, translation adjustments are not included in determining net income (loss) but reported as other comprehensive income (loss).

F-6 

 

 

ETHEMA HEALTH CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

 

  b) Principals of consolidation and foreign currency translation (continued)

 

For foreign currency transactions, the Company translates these amounts to the Company’s functional currency at the exchange rate effective on the invoice date. If the exchange rate changes between the time of purchase and the time actual payment is made, a foreign exchange transaction gain or loss results which is included in determining net income for the year.

 

The relevant translation rates are as follows: For the year ended December 31, 2022, a closing rate of CDN$1 equals US$0.7383 and an average exchange rate of CDN$1 equals US$0.7686, for the year ended December 31, 2021, a closing rate of CDN$1.0000 equals US$0.7888 and an average exchange rate of CDN$1.0000 equals US$0.7977.

 

c) Business Combinations

 

The Company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed for business combinations with third parties based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill.

 

Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired users, acquired technology, and trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management's estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates.

 

d) Cash and cash equivalents

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with several financial institution in the USA and Canada. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

The Company primarily places cash balances in the USA with high-credit quality financial institutions located in the United States which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to a limit of $250,000 per institution, in Canada which are insured by the Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation up to a limit of CDN$100,000 per institution.

 

e) Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable primarily consists of amounts due from third-party payors (non-governmental) and private pay patients and is recorded net of allowances for doubtful accounts and contractual discounts. The Company’s ability to collect outstanding receivables is critical to its results of operations and cash flows. Accordingly, accounts receivable reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements is recorded at the net amount expected to be received. The Company’s primary collection risks are (i) the risk of overestimating net revenues at the time of billing that may result in the Company receiving less than the recorded receivable, (ii) the risk of non-payment as a result of commercial insurance companies denying claims, (iii) the risk that patients will fail to remit insurance payments to the Company when the commercial insurance company pays out-of-network claims directly to the patient, (iv) resource and capacity constraints that may prevent the Company from handling the volume of billing and collection issues in a timely manner, (v) the risk that patients do not pay the Company for their self-pay balances (including co-pays, deductibles and any portion of the claim not covered by insurance) and (vi) the risk of non-payment from uninsured patients.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

 

f) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, Contractual and Other Discounts

 

The Company derives the majority of its revenues from commercial payors at in-network rates. Management estimates the allowance for contractual and other discounts based on its historical collection experience and contractual rates. The services authorized and provided and related reimbursement are often subject to interpretation and negotiation that could result in payments that differ from the Company’s estimates. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts is based on historical experience, but management also takes into consideration the age of accounts, creditworthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. An account is written off only after the Company has pursued collection efforts or otherwise determines an account to be uncollectible. Uncollectible balances are written-off against the allowance. Recoveries of previously written-off balances are credited to income when the recoveries are made.

 

g) Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the straight line basis over the estimated life of the asset.

 

h) Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization, if applicable, less any adjustments for impairment losses.

 

Amortization is charged on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining useful lives of the individual intangibles. Where intangibles are deemed to be impaired the Company recognizes an impairment loss measured as the difference between the estimated fair value of the intangible and its book value.

 

Licenses to provide substance abuse rehabilitation services are amortized over the expected life of the contract, including any anticipated renewals. The Company expects its licenses to remain in operation for a period of five years.

   

i) Leases

 

The Company accounts for leases in terms of AC 842 whereby leases are classified as either finance or operating leases. Leases that transfer substantially all of the benefits and inherent risks of ownership of property to the Company are accounted for as finance leases. At the time a finance lease is entered into, an asset is recorded together with its related long-term obligation to reflect the acquisition and financing. Property and equipment recorded under finance leases is amortized on the same basis as described above. Operating leases are recognized on the balance sheet as a lease liability with a corresponding right of use asset for all leases with a term that is more than twelve months. Payments under operating leases are expensed as incurred.

 

j) Derivatives

 

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. The Company previously used a Black Scholes Option Pricing model to estimate the fair value of convertible debt conversion features at the end of each applicable reporting period. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives during each reporting period were included in the statements of operations. Inputs into the Black Scholes Option Pricing model require estimates, including such items as estimated volatility of the Company’s stock, risk free interest rate and the estimated life of the financial instruments being fair valued.

 

If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion feature.

k) Financial instruments

 

The Company initially measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, except for certain non-arm’s length transactions. The Company subsequently measures all its financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost.

 

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash and accounts receivable.

 

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, harmonized sales tax payable, withholding taxes payable, convertible notes payable, loans payable and related party notes.

 

Financial assets measured at cost are tested for impairment when there are indicators of impairment. The amount of the write-down is recognized in net income. The previously recognized impairment loss may be reversed to the extent of the improvement, directly or by adjusting the allowance account, provided it is no greater than the amount that would have been reported at the date of the reversal had the impairment not been recognized previously. The amount of the reversal is recognized in net income. The Company recognizes its transaction costs in net income in the period incurred. However, financial instruments that will not be subsequently measured at fair value are adjusted by the transaction costs that are directly attributable to their origination, issuance or assumption.

 

FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

  Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
  ●  Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
  Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

The Company measures its convertible debt and derivative liabilities associated therewith at fair value. These liabilities are revalued periodically and the resultant gain or loss is realized through the consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

 

l) Related parties

 

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all related party transactions. All transactions are recorded at fair value of the goods or services exchanged.

 

m) Revenue recognition

 

ASC 606 requires companies to exercise more judgment and recognize revenue using a five-step process.

 

The Company’s provision for doubtful accounts are recorded as a direct reduction to revenue instead of being presented as a separate line item on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

As our performance obligations relate to contracts with a duration of one year or less, the Company elected the optional exemption in ASC 606-10-50-14(a). Therefore, the Company is not required to disclose the transaction price for the remaining performance obligations at the end of the reporting period or when the Company expects to recognize the revenue. The Company has minimal unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of the reporting period as our patients typically are under no obligation to remain admitted in our facilities.

  m) Revenue recognition (continued)

 

The Company receives payments from the following sources for services rendered in our U.S. Facility: (i) commercial insurers; and (ii) individual patients and clients. As the period between the time of service and time of payment is typically one year or less, the Company elected the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-32-18 and does not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component.

 

The Company derives a significant portion of its revenue from other payors that receive discounts from established billing rates. The various managed care contracts under which these discounts must be calculated are complex, subject to interpretation and adjustment, and may include multiple reimbursement mechanisms for different types of services provided in the Company’s inpatient facilities and cost settlement provisions. Management estimates the transaction price on a payor-specific basis given its interpretation of the applicable regulations or contract terms. The services authorized and provided and related reimbursement are often subject to interpretation that could result in payments that differ from the Company’s estimates. Additionally, updated regulations and contract renegotiations occur frequently, necessitating regular review and assessment of the estimation process by management.

 

Settlements with third-party payors are estimated and recorded in the period in which the related services are rendered and are adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for any adjustments and final settlements. However, there can be no assurance that any such adjustments and final settlements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. The Company’s receivables were $337,074 and $176,011 at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Management believes that these receivables are properly stated and are not likely to be settled for a significantly different amount.

 

The Company’s revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. The Company derives its revenues from the sale of its services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its revenue transactions: 

 

  i. identify the contract with a customer;
  ii. identify the performance obligations in the contract;
  iii. determine the transaction price;
  iv. allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
  v. recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

n) Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. Under ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The tax basis of an asset or liability is the amount attributed to that asset or liability for tax purposes. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period of change. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion of, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

 

  n) Income taxes (continued)

 

ASC Topic 740 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The first step is to determine if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained in an audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits within general and administrative expense. To the extent that accrued interest and penalties do not ultimately become payable, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction in general and administrative expenses in the period that such determination is made. The tax returns for fiscal 2019, through 2021 are subject to audit or review by the US tax authorities, whereas fiscal 2011 through 2021 are subject to audit or review by the Canadian tax authority.

  

o) Net income (loss) per Share

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the year.

 

Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted net income (loss) per share are excluded from the calculation.

 

Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for options and warrants. Under this method, “in-the money” options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Dilution is computed by applying the if-converted method for convertible preferred stocks. Under this method, convertible preferred stock is assumed to be converted at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and preferred dividends (if any) will be added back to determine income applicable to common stock. The shares issuable upon conversion will be added to weighted average number of common stock outstanding. Conversion will be assumed only if it reduces earnings per share (or increases loss per share). 

 

p) Stock based compensation

 

Stock based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period or vesting period on a straight-line basis. Share-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. This estimate will be revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We have no awards with performance conditions and no awards dependent on market conditions.

 

q) Financial instruments Risks

 

The Company is exposed to various risks through its financial instruments. The following analysis provides a measure of the Company’s risk exposure and concentrations at the balance sheet date, December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

  i. Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable.

 

Credit risk associated with accounts receivable is mitigated as only a percentage of the revenue billed to health insurance companies is recognized as income until such time as the actual funds are collected. The revenue is concentrated amongst several health insurance companies located in the US.

 

In the opinion of management, credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is assessed as low.

  q) Financial instruments Risks (continued)

 

  ii. Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk through its working capital deficiency of approximately $12.7 million, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $43.5 million. The Company is dependent upon the raising of additional capital in order to implement its business plan. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful with future financing ventures, and the inability to secure such financing may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. In the opinion of management, liquidity risk is assessed as high, material and remains unchanged from that of the prior year.

 

  iii. Market risk

 

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises of three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk, and other price risk. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk and currency risk.

 

  a. Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its convertible debt, mortgage loans, short term loans, third party loans and government assistance loans as of December 31, 2022. In the opinion of management, interest rate risk is assessed as moderate.

 

  b. Currency risk

 

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is subject to currency risk as it has subsidiaries that operate in Canada and are subject to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar. A substantial portion of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are denominated in Canadian dollars, however net earnings in foreign currency is minimal and a 5% depreciation or appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar would result in an immaterial increase or decrease in the Company’s after tax net income from operations. The Company has not entered into any hedging agreements to mitigate this risk. In the opinion of management, currency risk is assessed as low, material and remains unchanged from that of the prior year.

 

  c. Other price risk

 

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. In the opinion of management, the Company is not exposed to this risk and remains unchanged from the prior year.

   

r) Recent accounting pronouncements

 

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

 

s) Comparative and prior period disclosures

 

The comparative and prior period disclosed amounts presented in these consolidated financial statements have been reclassified where necessary to conform to the presentation used in the current year and period.

3. Adoption of ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in ASC 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options, for convertible instruments. The ASU updates the guidance on certain embedded conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, such that those features are no longer required to be separated from the host contract. The convertible debt instruments will be accounted for as a single liability measured at amortized cost. This will also result in the interest expense recognized for convertible debt instruments to be typically closer to the coupon interest rate when applying the guidance in Topic 835, Interest. Further, the ASU made amendments to the EPS guidance in Topic 260 for convertible debt instruments, the most significant impact of which is requiring the use of the if-converted method for diluted EPS calculation, and no longer allowing the net share settlement method. The ASU also made revisions to Topic 815-40, which provides guidance on how an entity must determine whether a contract qualifies for a scope exception from derivative accounting. The amendments to Topic 815-40 change the scope of contracts that are recognized as assets or liabilities. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Adoption of the ASU can either be on a modified retrospective or full retrospective basis.

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted the ASU using the modified retrospective method. We recognized a cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU as an adjustment to the January 1, 2022 opening balance of accumulated deficit, an adjustment to the convertible note balance outstanding and the elimination of the derivative liability balance at January 1, 2022.

The prior period consolidated financial statements have not been retrospectively adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

Accordingly, the cumulative effect of the changes made on our January 1, 2022 consolidated balance sheet for the adoption of the ASU was as follows:

 

    Balance at December 31, 2021   Adjustments from adoption of ASU 2020-06   Adjusted balance at December 31, 2021
             
Deficit                        
Accumulated deficit   $ 44,103,311     $ (468,462 )   $ 43,634,849  
Current liabilities                        
Convertible notes, net of discounts     (4,891,938 )     (47,439 )     (4,939,377)  
Derivative liability     (515,901 )     515,901       —    

 

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

4. Going concern

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations in the normal course of business. At December 31, 2022 the Company has a working capital deficiency of $12.7 million, and total liabilities in excess of assets in the amount of $8.8 million . Management believes that current available resources will not be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned expenditures over the next 12 months. Accordingly, the Company will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of common shares, and/or debt financing in order to implement its business plan and generating sufficient revenue in excess of costs. If the Company raises additional capital through the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity, stockholders will experience dilution, and such securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of common stock or convertible senior notes. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing debt, the Company may be subject to limitations on its operations, through debt covenants or other restrictions. If the Company obtains additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or strategic partners, the Company may be required to relinquish its rights to certain geographical areas, or techniques that it might otherwise seek to retain. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful with future financing ventures, and the inability to secure such financing may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

5. Disposal of subsidiaries

 

On December 30, 2022, the Company entered into two agreements whereby it sold Greenstone Muskoka and ARIA to the Company Chairman and CEO for gross proceeds of $0.

 

Immediately prior to the disposal of these subsidiaries, Greenstone Muskoka forgave its intercompany receivable owing from the Company of $6,690,381 and the Company forgave its intercompany balance owing from ARIA of $9,605,315.

 

The Company also assumed the liability to pay for the Government assistance loan of $50,073.

 

The assets and liabilities disposed of were as follows:

 

    Greenstone Muskoka   ARIA   Net book value

6. Acquisition of subsidiaries

 

On June 30, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement whereby the Company agreed to acquire 51% of American Treatment Holdings, Inc. (“ATHI”) from The Q Global Trust (“Seller”) and Lawrence B Hawkins (“Hawkins”), which in turn owns 100% of Evernia Health Services LLC. (“Evernia”), which operates drug rehabilitation facilities. The consideration for the acquisition was a loan to be provided by the purchaser to Evernia in the amount of $500,000. As of the date of acquisition, July 1, 2021, the Company had advanced Evernia approximately $1,140,985.

 

The Company originally had a 180 day option, from the advancement of the first tranche to Evernia, to purchase an additional 9% of ATHI for a purchase consideration of $50,000.

 

On April 28, 2021, the Stock Purchase Agreement date June 30, 2020 between the Company and the Q Global Trust, and ATHI was amended whereby the option to purchase an additional 9% of ATHI for $50,000 was amended to purchase an additional 24%, an increase of 15% over the prior option, for 100,000,000 shares of common stock. The remaining condition to closing, the receipt of approval for the change of ownership of the license from the Department of Children and Family Services of Florida, was satisfied by the probationary approval, which was received on June 30, 2021. The Company exercised the option and issued the 100,000,000 shares of common stock and paid $46,750 of the $50,000 due to the Seller, in terms of the amended agreement as of the date of this report. In addition to the consideration paid for the additional equity the Company agreed to execute a promissory note for the payment of any unpaid management fees at the time of Closing such that the unpaid fees shall be paid pari-passu with the repayment of the Loan Agreement and Seller agrees that any funds advanced to the Company by Behavioural Health Holdings, LLC shall be forgiven and considered contributed capital to ATHI. The Company agrees to advance up to $1,100,000 under the Loan Agreement for the funding of the operations of ATHI as required without any contribution required by the Seller. As at the date of acquisition, July 1, 2021, the Company had advanced Evernia $1,140,985, subsequent to July 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022, Evernia had repaid $637,602. The balance owing to the company at December 31, 2022 was $503,383.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the consideration paid for 75% of the equity of ATHI was $50,000 in cash plus the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a market value of $410,000 on the date of acquisition.

 

In terms of the agreement, the purchase price was allocated to the fair market value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:

 

    Amount
Consideration        
Cash   $ 50,000  
100,000,000 shares of common stock at fair market value     410,000

Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $182,139 and $146,360, respectively.

 

8. Intangibles

 

Intangible assets consist of the Company’s estimate of the fair value of intangibles acquired with the acquisition of ATHI disclosed in Note 5 above. The Company allocated the excess over the tangible assets acquired, less the liabilities assumed to the contract provided to the Company by a health care service provider.

 

Intangible assets consist of the following:  

 

    December 31,
2022
  December 31, 2021
    Cost   Accumulated amortization   Net book value   Net book value
Health care Provider license   $ 1,789,903     $ (536,971)     $ 1,252,932     $ 1,610,913  
                                 

 

The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis during the last month of each year and at an interim date if indications of impairment exist. Intangible asset impairment is determined by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying amount with an impairment being recognized only when the fair value is less than carrying value and the impairment is deemed to be permanent in nature.

 

The Company recorded $357,981 and $178,990 in amortization expense for finite-lived assets for the year ended

December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

9. Leases

 

The Company acquired ATHI on July 1, 2021, ATHI’s wholly owned subsidiary had entered into an operating lease agreement for certain real property located at 950 Evernia Street, West Palm Beach, Florida, with effect from February 1, 2019 for a period of three years, expiring on February 1, 2022. Under the terms of the lease agreement, the lease was extended during October 2021 for a further 5 year period until February 1, 2027.

 

To determine the present value of minimum future lease payments for operating leases at February 1, 2019, the Company was required to estimate a rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment (the "incremental borrowing rate" or "IBR").

 

The Company determined the appropriate IBR by identifying a reference rate and making adjustments that take into consideration financing options and certain lease-specific circumstances. For the reference rate, the Company used the average of (i) the five year ARM interest rate as quoted by Freddie Mac adjusted for a risk premium of 20%. The Company determined that 4.64% per annum was an appropriate incremental borrowing rate to apply to its real-estate operating lease.

17. Derivative liability

 

In prior years, the short-term convertible notes, together with certain warrants issued to convertible note holders disclosed in note 11 above and note 17 below, had fixed conversion price rights. The convertible notes as well as the warrants were afforded down-round protection which in terms of previous guidance resulted in a derivate liability. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 with effect from January 1, 2022, which excluded down-round protection from the determination of a derivative liability.

The prior period consolidated financial statements have not been retrospectively adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

 

The original derivative financial liability was valued at inception at $1,959,959 using a Black-Scholes valuation model.

 

As of December 31, 2021, the derivative liability was valued at $515,901.

The income tax provision/ (benefit) is different from that which would be obtained by applying the statutory Federal income tax rate of 21% and applicable state tax rates of 5% to income before income tax expense. The items causing this difference for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows: 

    Year ended December 31, 2022   Year ended December 31, 2021
         
Taxation (charge) credit at the federal and state statutory rate     (85,555)       478,522  
State taxation     (29,345 )        
Prior year over provision     —         250,000

23. Income taxes

  

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:

    December 31,
2022
  December 31,
2021
Net operating losses                
Net operating loss carry forward     34,945,459       34,278,915  
Prior year adjustment to opening balances     —         —    
Foreign exchange differential     (105,379 )     8,466  
Net operating loss utilized     (3,514,804)       (20,719 )
Net taxable loss     4,624,718       678,797  
Disposal of subsidiary     (4,872,047 )        
Valuation allowance     (31,077,947)       (34,945,459 )
 Net future tax asset     —         —    

 

The company has established a valuation allowance against its gross deferred tax assets sufficient to bring its net deferred tax assets to zero due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of such assets. Management has determined it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets are not realizable due to the Company’s historical loss position. The valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2022 decreased by $3,867,512. This was due to the utilization of $(3,514,804) of net operating losses, the generation of additional losses of $4,624,718 and the disposal of a foreign subsidiary with a net operating loss of $(4,872,047).

 

As of December 31, 2022, the prior three tax years remain open for examination by the federal or state regulatory agencies for purposes of an audit for tax purposes.

 

Pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”), §382, the Company’s ability to use its net operating loss carry forwards to offset future taxable income is limited if the Company experiences a cumulative change in ownership of more than 50% within a three-year period.

 

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

 

23. Subsequent events

1.  Nature of business

 

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

 

The Company also owned the real estate on which its Greenstone Muskoka clinic operated. The current tenant operates an addiction treatment center on these premises. The Company collected rent on this property, which is treated as a separate business segment. Om June 30, 2023, the Company sold Cranberry Cove Holdings, in which the real estate was registered to Leonite Capital, in exchange for the cancellation of preferred shares and the accrued dividend liability owed on the preferred shares.

     

2.  Summary of significant accounting policies

 

 Financial Reporting

 

The (a) unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023, and as of December 31, 2022, which has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and (b) the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows of the Company, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 2023.

 

All amounts referred to in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are in United States Dollars ($) unless stated otherwise.

 

a)  Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

b)  Principles of consolidation and foreign translation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries functional currency is the Canadian dollar, while the Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. All transactions initiated in Canadian dollars are translated into US dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Translation” as follows:

 

  Monetary assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date.

 

  Certain non-monetary assets and liabilities and equity at historical rates.

 

  Revenue and expense items and cash flows at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the year.

 

Adjustments arising from such translations are deferred until realization and are included as a separate component of stockholders’ deficit as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Therefore, translation adjustments are not included in determining net income (loss) but reported as other comprehensive income (loss).

2.  Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

 

  b) Principles of consolidation and foreign currency translation (continued)

 

For foreign currency transactions, the Company translates these amounts to the Company’s functional currency at the exchange rate effective on the invoice date. If the exchange rate changes between the time of purchase and the time actual payment is made, a foreign exchange transaction gain or loss results which is included in determining net income for the year.

 

The relevant translation rates are as follows: For the six months ended June 30, 2023, a closing rate of CDN$1 equals US$0.7553 and an average exchange rate of CDN$1 equals US$0.7420, for the year ended December 31, 2022, a closing rate of CDN$1.0000 equals US$0.7383 and an average exchange rate of CDN$1.0000 equals US$0.7686.

 

c)  Cash and cash equivalents

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with several financial institution in the USA and Canada. There were no cash equivalents at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

 

The Company primarily places cash balances in the USA with high-credit quality financial institutions located in the United States which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to a limit of $250,000 per institution, in Canada which are insured by the Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation up to a limit of CDN$100,000 per institution.

 

d)  Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable primarily consists of amounts due from third-party payors (non-governmental) and private pay patients and is recorded net of allowances for doubtful accounts and contractual discounts. The Company’s ability to collect outstanding receivables is critical to its results of operations and cash flows. Accordingly, accounts receivable reported in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is recorded at the net amount expected to be received. The Company’s primary collection risks are (i) the risk of overestimating net revenues at the time of billing that may result in the Company receiving less than the recorded receivable, (ii) the risk of non-payment as a result of commercial insurance companies denying claims, (iii) the risk that patients will fail to remit insurance payments to the Company when the commercial insurance company pays out-of-network claims directly to the patient, (iv) resource and capacity constraints that may prevent the Company from handling the volume of billing and collection issues in a timely manner, (v) the risk that patients do not pay the Company for their self-pay balances (including co-pays, deductibles and any portion of the claim not covered by insurance) and (vi) the risk of non-payment from uninsured patients.

2.  Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

 

e)  Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, Contractual and Other Discounts

  

The Company derives the majority of its revenues from commercial payors at in-network rates. The Company recognizes revenue based on historical collections received from healthcare providers, recognizing only a percentage of revenues actually billed. Effectively recognizing revenue net of any expected billing differentials. Based on the Company’s collection experience, the percentage of revenue recognized is adjusted on a periodic basis, thereby taking into account expected credit losses in the revenue recognition process. The revenue we recognize is already net of expected credit losses, therefore management does not maintain a separate allowance for doubtful accounts, contractual and other discounts. .

  

Management also takes into consideration the age of accounts, creditworthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the percentage of revenue to be recognized.

 

f)  Property and equipment

  

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the straight line basis over the estimated life of the asset.

 

g)  Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization, if applicable, less any adjustments for impairment losses.

 

Amortization is charged on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining useful lives of the individual intangibles. Where intangibles are deemed to be impaired the Company recognizes an impairment loss measured as the difference between the estimated fair value of the intangible and its book value.

 

Licenses to provide substance abuse rehabilitation services are amortized over the expected life of the contract, including any anticipated renewals. The Company expects its licenses to remain in operation for a period of five years.

   

h)  Leases

 

The Company accounts for leases in terms of AC 842 whereby leases are classified as either finance or operating leases. Leases that transfer substantially all of the benefits and inherent risks of ownership of property to the Company are accounted for as finance leases. At the time a finance lease is entered into, an asset is recorded together with its related long-term obligation to reflect the acquisition and financing. Property and equipment recorded under finance leases is amortized on the same basis as described above. Operating leases are recognized on the balance sheet as a lease liability with a corresponding right of use asset for all leases with a term that is more than twelve months. Payments under operating leases are expensed as incurred.

 

i)  Derivatives

 

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. The Company previously used a Black Scholes Option Pricing model to estimate the fair value of convertible debt conversion features at the end of each applicable reporting period. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives during each reporting period were included in the statements of operations. Inputs into the Black Scholes Option Pricing model require estimates, including such items as estimated volatility of the Company’s stock, risk free interest rate and the estimated life of the financial instruments being fair valued.

2.  Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

  

j)  Financial instruments

 

The Company initially measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The Company subsequently measures all its financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost.

 

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash and accounts receivable.

 

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, harmonized sales tax payable, withholding taxes payable, convertible notes payable, loans payable and related party notes.

 

Financial assets measured at cost are tested for impairment when there are indicators of impairment. The amount of the write-down is recognized in net income. The previously recognized impairment loss may be reversed to the extent of the improvement, directly or by adjusting the allowance account, provided it is no greater than the amount that would have been reported at the date of the reversal had the impairment not been recognized previously. The amount of the reversal is recognized in net income. The Company recognizes its transaction costs in net income in the period incurred. However, financial instruments that will not be subsequently measured at fair value are adjusted by the transaction costs that are directly attributable to their origination, issuance or assumption.

 

FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

  · Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

 

  · Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

  · Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

The Company measures its convertible debt and derivative liabilities associated therewith at fair value. These liabilities are revalued periodically and the resultant gain or loss is realized through the consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss

 

k)  Related parties

 

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all related party transactions. All transactions are recorded at fair value of the goods or services exchanged.

 

l)  Revenue recognition

 

ASC 606 requires companies to exercise more judgment and recognize revenue using a five-step process.

 

The Company’s provision for doubtful accounts are recorded as a direct reduction to revenue instead of being presented as a separate line item on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

As our performance obligations relate to contracts with a duration of one year or less, the Company elected the optional exemption in ASC 606-10-50-14(a). Therefore, the Company is not required to disclose the transaction price for the remaining performance obligations at the end of the reporting period or when the Company expects to recognize the revenue. The Company has minimal unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of the reporting period as our patients typically are under no obligation to remain admitted in our facilities.

2.  Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

  

l) Revenue recognition (continued)

 

The Company receives payments from the following sources for services rendered in our U.S. Facility: (i) commercial insurers; and (ii) individual patients and clients. As the period between the time of service and time of payment is typically one year or less, the Company elected the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-32-18 and does not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component.

 

The Company derives a significant portion of its revenue from other payors that receive discounts from established billing rates. The various managed care contracts under which these discounts must be calculated are complex, subject to interpretation and adjustment, and may include multiple reimbursement mechanisms for different types of services provided in the Company’s inpatient facilities and cost settlement provisions. Management estimates the transaction price on a payor-specific basis given its interpretation of the applicable regulations or contract terms. The services authorized and provided and related reimbursement are often subject to interpretation that could result in payments that differ from the Company’s estimates. Additionally, updated regulations and contract renegotiations occur frequently, necessitating regular review and assessment of the estimation process by management.

 

Settlements with third-party payors are estimated and recorded in the period in which the related services are rendered and are adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for any adjustments and final settlements. However, there can be no assurance that any such adjustments and final settlements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. The Company’s receivables were $470,835, $337,074 and $176,011 at June 30, 2023, December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Management believes that these receivables are properly stated and are not likely to be settled for a significantly different amount.

 

The Company’s revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. The Company derives its revenues from the sale of its services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its revenue transactions: 

 

  i. identify the contract with a customer;

 

  ii. identify the performance obligations in the contract;

 

  iii. determine the transaction price;

 

  iv. allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and

 

  v. recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

m)  Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. Under ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The tax basis of an asset or liability is the amount attributed to that asset or liability for tax purposes. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period of change. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion of, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

  

ASC Topic 740 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The first step is to determine if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained in an audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits within general and administrative expense. To the extent that accrued interest and penalties do not ultimately become payable, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction in general and administrative expenses in the period that such determination is made. The tax returns for fiscal 2019, through 2022 are subject to audit or review by the US tax authorities, whereas fiscal 2011 through 2022 are subject to audit or review by the Canadian tax authority.

n)  Net income (loss) per Share

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the year.

 

Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted net income (loss) per share are excluded from the calculation.

 

Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for options and warrants. Under this method, “in-the money” options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Dilution is computed by applying the if-converted method for convertible preferred stocks. Under this method, convertible preferred stock is assumed to be converted at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and preferred dividends (if any) will be added back to determine income applicable to common stock. The shares issuable upon conversion will be added to weighted average number of common stock outstanding. Conversion will be assumed only if it reduces earnings per share (or increases loss per share). 

 

o)  Stock based compensation

 

Stock based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period or vesting period on a straight-line basis. Share-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. This estimate will be revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We have no awards with performance conditions and no awards dependent on market conditions.

 

There were no stock -based compensation awards that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and there was no stock based compensation recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

p)  Financial instruments risks

 

The Company is exposed to various risks through its financial instruments. The following analysis provides a measure of the Company’s risk exposure and concentrations at the balance sheet dates, June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

 

  i. Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable.

 

Credit risk associated with accounts receivable is mitigated as only a percentage of the revenue billed to health insurance companies is recognized as income until such time as the actual funds are collected. The revenue is concentrated amongst several health insurance companies located in the US.

 

In the opinion of management, credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is assessed as low.

 

 

  ii. Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk through its working capital deficiency of approximately $9.3 million, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $44.0 million. The Company is dependent upon the raising of additional capital in order to implement its business plan. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful with future financing ventures, and the inability to secure such financing may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. In the opinion of management, liquidity risk is assessed as high, material and remains unchanged from that of the prior year.

p)  Financial instruments risks (continued)

 

  iii. Market risk

 

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises of three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk, and other price risk. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk and currency risk.

 

  a. Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its convertible debt, short term loans, third party loans and government assistance loans as of June 30, 2023. In the opinion of management, interest rate risk is assessed as moderate.

 

  b. Currency risk

 

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is subject to currency risk as it has subsidiaries that operate in Canada and are subject to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar. A substantial portion of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are denominated in Canadian dollars, however net earnings in foreign currency is minimal and a 5% depreciation or appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar would result in an immaterial increase or decrease in the Company’s after tax net income from operations. The Company has not entered into any hedging agreements to mitigate this risk. In the opinion of management, currency risk is assessed as low, material and remains unchanged from that of the prior year.

 

  c. Other price risk

  

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. In the opinion of management, the Company is not exposed to this risk and remains unchanged from the prior year.

  

q)  Allowance for credit losses

 

The Company recognizes revenue based on historical collections received from healthcare providers, recognizing only a percentage of revenues actually billed. Effectively recognizing revenue net of any expected billing differentials. Based on the Company’s collection experience, the percentage of revenue recognized is adjusted on a periodic basis, thereby taking into account expected credit losses in the revenue recognition process. The revenue we recognize is already net of expected credit losses.

 

We constantly evaluate our collections experience and consider the market conditions and current economic developments facing the Company’s operations . We have not experienced significantly different collections to revenues we have recognized and we have not seen any deterioration in the payment patterns from the healthcare providers that the Company works with, we cannot predict with any certainty that the payment patterns the Company experiences may change and we may be required to adjust the percentage of revenue recognized.

 

r)  Recent accounting pronouncements

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued additional updates during the six months ended June 30, 2023. None of these standards are either applicable to the Company or require adoption at a future date and none are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

3.  Going concern

 

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations in the normal course of business. At June 30, 2023 the Company has a working capital deficiency of $9.3 million, and total liabilities in excess of assets in the amount of $7.9 million . Management believes that current available resources will not be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned expenditures over the next 12 months. These factors, individually and collectively indicate that a material uncertainty exists that raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. 

 

The Company will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of common shares, and/or debt financing in order to implement its business plan and generating sufficient revenue in excess of costs. If the Company raises additional capital through the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity, stockholders will experience dilution, and such securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of common stock or convertible senior notes. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing debt, the Company may be subject to limitations on its operations, through debt covenants or other restrictions. If the Company obtains additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or strategic partners, the Company may be required to relinquish its rights to certain geographical areas, or techniques that it might otherwise seek to retain. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful with future financing ventures, and the inability to secure such financing may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

4.  Disposal of subsidiary

 

On June 30, 2023, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with Leonite Capital, LLC, whereby it exchanged the 400,000 Series B shares with a value of $400,000 plus accrued dividends thereon of $61,184 for its entire shareholding in its property owning subsidiary, Cranberry Cove Holdings. The Series B shares were cancelled upon consummation of the transaction.

 

Immediately prior to the disposal of Cranberry Cove Holdings, the Company assumed the loan owed to a third party of $779,005 and the loan owing to Leon Developments of $1,973,837, Leon developments, a related party, owned by the Company’s CEO, Shawn Leon. In addition, the Company forgave the intercompany debt owing by Cranberry Cove Holdings of $4,566,848.

 

The assets and liabilities disposed of were as follows:

 

    Net book value
Assets        
Other receivable   $ 12,015  
Property and equipment     2,420,499  
      2,432,514

Government assistance loans     (45,317 )
Mortgage loan     (3,525,223 )
      (3,767,399 )
         
Disposal of subsidiary to related party – recorded as additional paid in capital   $ (1,334,885 )

 

The minority shareholders interest related to the Series A preferred stock in Cranberry Cove Holdings was recorded as a deemed contribution to the Company and credited to additional paid in capital, resulting in a total credit to additional paid in capital of $2,034,885.

 

The cancellation of the Series B shares, were owned by Leonite Capital, a related party, was deemed to be an extinguishment of debt by a related party and recorded as a credit to additional paid in capital of $461,184.
