NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Six Months Ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019 (unaudited)

 

Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

Organization and Line of Business

 

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

 

The Company delivers multi-disciplinary primary healthcare through our 16 corporate-owned clinics and a contracted network of 103 affiliate clinics and 226 eldercare centric homes located across Canada. Our team of practitioners and staff are trained for assessment, diagnosis, treatment, pain management, rehabilitation and primary prevention. Our specialized services and products include physiotherapy, chiropractic care, occupational therapy, eldercare, laser therapeutics, massage therapy, acupuncture, chiropody, neurological functions, kinesiology, concussion management and baseline testing, women’s pelvic health, sports medicine therapy, assistive devices and private personal training. We do not provide primary care medical services, none of our employees practice primary care medicine, and our services do not require a medical or nursing license.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, the results of its operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) were omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results of operations for the six months ended February 29, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending August 31, 2020.

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The financial information contained in this report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, that we filed on November 20, 2019. The Company’s Canadian subsidiaries’ functional currency is the Canadian Dollar (“CAD”); however, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were translated and presented in United States Dollars (“$” or “USD”).

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

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

 

   February 29, 2020   February 28, 2019   August 31, 2019 
             
Period end: CAD to USD exchange rate  $0.7456   $0.7596   $0.7507 
Average period: CAD to USD exchange rate  $0.7577   $0.7578

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

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, NHL, Novo Healthnet Rehab Limited, Novo Assessments Inc., an 80% interest in Novo Healthnet Kemptville Centre, Inc., a Back on Track Physiotherapy and Health Centre clinic operated by NHL, and a 70% interest in Novo Earth Therapeutics Inc. (currently inactive), a joint venture with Harvest Gold Farms Inc. All of the Company’s subsidiaries are incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario or New Brunswick, Canada. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

 

Noncontrolling Interest

 

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

 

8
 

 

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

 

Cash Equivalents

 

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

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentration, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Delinquent account balances are written-off after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable and known bad debts are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when identified. As of February 29, 2020, and August 31, 2019, the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable was $489,195 and $471,566, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment

 

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

 

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

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review at February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, the Company believes there was no impairment of its long-lived assets.

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company’s intangible assets consist of land use rights, a software license and intellectual property which will be amortized over 50, 7 and 7 years, respectively. Amortization will begin when the assets are fully placed in service. The Company performs a test for impairment annually. The land use rights, the software license and intellectual property intangible assets were acquired in January 2019, February 2019 and December 2019, respectively. Based on its reviews at August 31, 2019, the Company believes there was no impairment of its intangible assets.

 

Right-of-use Assets

 

The Company’s right-of-use assets consist of leased assets recognized in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually all lease contracts. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liability represents the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, both of which are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company determines the lease term by agreement with lessor. As majority of the Company’s leases does not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the underlying net assets of businesses acquired. Under U.S. GAAP, goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment tests. At February 29, 2020, the Company recorded goodwill of $186,400, $216,224 and $216,224, respectively, related to its acquisition of APKA Health, Inc. during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2017, Executive Fitness Leaders during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018 and Action Plus Physiotherapy Rockland during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019.

Summary of changes in goodwill by acquired businesses is as follows:

 

   Apka   EFL   Rockland   Total 
Balance, August 31, 2019  $187,675   $217,703   $217,703   $623,081 
Foreign currency translation adjustment   (1,275)   (1,479)   (1,479)   (4,233)
Balance, February 29, 2020  $186,400   $216,224   $216,224   $618,848 

 

Acquisition Deposits

 

The Company has signed letters of understanding with two potential acquisition candidates which includes refundable acquisition deposits totaling $636,985 and $716,688 at February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, respectively. During the six months ended February 29, 2020, the Company wrote off an acquisition deposit of $344,521 which is considered impaired since the acquiree has been dissolved and is no longer in business.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and due to related parties, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.

 

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

 

  Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
     
  Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
     
  Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology use one or more unobservable inputs which are significant to the fair value measurement.

 

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

 

As of February 29, 2020, and August 31, 2019, respectively, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.

 

Fair Value Measurement on a Non-Recurring Basis

 

The Company measures the fair value of certain assets on a non-recurring basis, generally quarterly, annually or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. These assets include goodwill and intangible assets.

Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

These five elements, as applied to the Company’s revenue category, are summarized below:

 

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

 

Income Taxes

 

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

 

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

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

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

 

11
 

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

 

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS assumes that all dilutive securities are converted. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. There were 10,095,000 options/warrants outstanding as of February 29, 2020. Due to the net loss incurred, potentially dilutive instruments would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss for all periods presented.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions and Comprehensive Income

 

U.S. GAAP generally requires recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Certain statements, however, require entities to report specific changes in assets and liabilities, such as gain or loss on foreign currency translation, as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries is the CAD. Translation gains of $1,127,845 and $1,138,919 at February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, respectively, are classified as an item of other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet.

 

Statement of Cash Flows

 

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

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes which amends ASC 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740). This update is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application of ASC 740. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The guidance in this update has various elements, some of which are applied on a prospective basis and others on a retrospective basis with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2018-07) to expand the scope of ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this pronouncement and such adoption did not have a significant impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

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

Note 10 – Leases

 

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

 

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

 

The table below presents the lease related assets and liabilities recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of February 29, 2020:

During the six months ended February 29, 2020, the Company issued:

 

  354,369 restricted shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $113,399
     
  8,000,000 restricted shares of common stock as consideration for the Intellectual Property Asset Purchase Agreement with a value of $5,248,000 based on the closing share price of $0.656 on the execution date of the Agreement.

Stock options/warrants

 

On September 8, 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2015 Plan”), which authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock to employees, officers, directors or independent consultants of the Company, provided that no person can be granted shares under the 2015 Plan for services related to raising capital or promotional activities. As of February 29, 2020, 4,987,500 shares were available under the 2015 Plan for future grants, awards, options or share issuances. However, because the shares issuable under the 2015 Plan or issuable upon conversion of awards granted under the 2015 Plan are no longer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company does not intend to issue any additional grants under the 2015 Plan.

Overview of the Company

 

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

 

Through Novo Healthnet Limited (“NHL”), our wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, we deliver multidisciplinary primary health care services and products through our 16 corporate-owned clinics and a contracted network of 103 affiliate clinics and 226 eldercare centric homes located across Canada. Our team of multidisciplinary primary health care clinicians and practitioners provide assessment, diagnosis, treatment, pain management, rehabilitation, education and primary prevention for a wide array of orthopedic, musculoskeletal, sports injury, and neurological conditions across various demographics including pediatric, adult, and geriatric populations.

 

Our clinicians and practitioners provide certain multidisciplinary primary health care services, and related products, beyond the medical doctor first level contact identified as primary care. Our clinicians and practitioners are not licensed medical doctors, physicians, specialist, nurses or nurse practitioners. Our clinicians and practitioners are not authorized to practice primary care medicine and they are not medically licensed to prescribe pharmaceutical based product solutions.

 

Our specialized multidisciplinary primary health care services include physiotherapy, chiropractic care, manual/manipulative therapy, occupational therapy, eldercare, massage therapy (including pre- and post-partum), acupuncture and functional dry needling, chiropody, stroke and traumatic brain injury/neurological rehabilitation, kinesiology, vestibular therapy, concussion management and baseline testing, trauma sensitive yoga and meditation for concussion-acquired brain injury and occupational stress-PTSD, women’s pelvic health programs, sports medicine therapy, assistive devices, fall prevention education, sports team conditioning programs including event and game coverage, and private personal training.

 

20
 

 

Certain of the specialty treatment and recovery programs we offer derive from motor vehicle accident injuries, long-term disability cases, corporate wellness, and job-site injuries approved for treatment by the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board. In addition, we offer specialized treatments and products that include cold laser therapeutics, shockwave therapy, custom bracing and orthotics, custom compression therapy/stockings and lymphatic drainage treatment.

 

Certain of our assessments and treatment technologies include Brain FX, a research based digital cognitive assessment tool measuring cognitive functional skills; and, MyndMove Therapy, a non-invasive functional electrical stimulation (FES) therapy for individuals with arm and hand paralysis due to a stroke, spinal cord or other neurological injury.

 

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

 

Our strict adherence to public regulatory standards, as well as self-imposed standards of excellence and regulation, have allowed us to navigate with ease through the industry’s licensing and regulatory framework. Compliant treatment, data and administrative protocols are managed through a team of highly trained, certified health care and administrative professionals. We and our affiliates provide service to the Canadian property and casualty insurance industry, resulting in a regulated framework governed by the Financial Services Commission of Ontario.

 

The occupational therapists, physiotherapists and kinesiologists contracted by NHL to provide occupational therapy, physical therapy and fall prevention assessment services are registered with the College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario, the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario and the College of Kinesiologists of Ontario regulatory authorities. In 2013, NHL received its accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (“CARF”). Currently, NHL is renewing its CARF accreditation.

 

Recent Developments

 

Coronavirus (COVID-19)

 

In March 2020, the Company announced precautionary measures the Company is taking to protect the health and safety of its employees, partners and patients as well as the business impact related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Because COVID-19 infections have been reported throughout both Canada and the United States, certain national, provincial, state and local governmental authorities have issued proclamations and/or directives aimed at minimizing the spread of COVID-19. Additional, more restrictive proclamations and/or directives may be issued in the future. As a result, NHL closed all corporate clinics, effective March 17, 2020. In addition, the Company is significantly reducing the engagement of its multi-disciplinary primary healthcare services and products with its client patients as provided through contracted services with eldercare centric facilities and our affiliate clinics.

 

The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations is unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and any additional preventative and protective actions that governments, or the Company, may direct, which may result in an extended period of continued business disruption, reduced patient traffic and reduced operations. Any resulting financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but is anticipated to have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The measures taken to date will impact the Company’s business for the fiscal third quarter and potentially beyond. Management expects that all of its business segments, across all of its geographies, will be impacted to some degree, but the significance of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company’s business and the duration for which it may have an impact cannot be determined at this time.

On March 10, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors terminated the engagement of NVS Professional Corporation (formerly NVS Chartered Accountants Professional Corporation) (“NVS”) as the Company’s independent registered accounting firm, and appointed SRCO Professional Corporation (“SRCO”) as the Company’s new independent registered accounting firm.

 

Filing of Preliminary Offering Statement on Form 1-A with the SEC

 

On April 2, 2020, the Company filed a preliminary offering statement on Form 1-A (the “Form 1-A”) with the SEC relating to the offering by the Company of up to 15,000,000 shares of its common stock, with an aggregate amount of $30,000,000, in a “Tier 2 Offering” under Regulation A (the “Offering”). The Company expects that the fixed initial public offering price per share will be from $1.00 to $3.00 per share upon qualification of the Form 1-A by the SEC. There is no minimum number of shares that needs to be sold in order for funds to be released to the Company and for the Offering to close. The Company expects to commence the sale of the shares as of the date on which the Form 1-A is declared qualified by the SEC. No sales will be made prior to the qualification of the Form 1-A by the SEC. There can be no assurance that the Form 1-A will be declared qualified by the SEC.

 

For the three months ended February 29, 2020 compared to the three months ended February 28, 2019

 

Revenues for the three months ended February 29, 2020 were $2,428,864, representing an increase of $228,454, or 10.4%, from $2,220,410 for the same period in 2019. The increase in revenue is principally due to providing additional eldercare services and the acquisition of Action Plus Physiotherapy Rockland in July 2019.

 

Cost of revenues for the three months ended February 29, 2020 were $1,585,860, representing an increase of $265,120 or 20.1%, from $1,320,740 for the same period in 2019. The increase in cost of revenues is principally due the increase in revenue. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue was 65.3% for the three months ended February 29, 2020 and 60.0% for same period in 2019. The increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue is principally due to higher costs.

Operating costs for the three months ended February 29, 2020 were $993,772, representing an increase of $35,415, or 3.7%, from $958,357 for the same period in 2019. The increase in operating costs is primarily attributed to additional operating cost associated with the acquisition of Action Plus Physiotherapy Rockland in July 2019.

 

Interest expense for the three months ended February 29, 2020 was $37,717, representing a decrease of $10,870, or 22.4%, from $48,587 for the same period in 2019. The decrease is due to less debt outstanding.

 

Write off of acquisition deposit for the three months ended February 29, 2020 was $344,521, representing an increase of $344,521, from $0 for the same period in 2019. The increase is due to the write off of an acquisition deposit for an acquisition which is considered impaired since the acquiree has been dissolved and is no longer in business.

 

Net loss for the three months ended February 29, 2020 was $505,829, representing an increase of $382,849, or 311.3%, from $122,980 for the same period in 2019. The decrease in net loss is due to the reasons described above.

 

For the six months ended February 29, 2020 compared to the six months ended February 28, 2019

 

Revenues for the six months ended February 29, 2020 were $4,977,474, representing an increase of $465,442, or 10.3%, from $4,512,032 for the same period in 2019. The increase in revenue is principally due to providing additional eldercare services and the acquisition of Action Plus Physiotherapy Rockland in July 2019.

 

Cost of revenues for the six months ended February 29, 2020 were $3,218,801, representing an increase of $469,978 or 17.1%, from $2,748,823 for the same period in 2019. The increase in cost of revenues is principally due the increase in revenue. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue was 64.7% for the six months ended February 29, 2020 and 60.9% for same period in 2019. The increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue is principally due to higher costs.

 

Operating costs for the six months ended February 29, 2020 were $1,986,266, representing a decrease of $70,982, or 3.5%, from $2,057,248 for the same period in 2019. The decrease in operating costs is primarily attributed to a reduction in stock-based compensation and selling expenses, offset by an increase in operating costs due to additional cost associated with the acquisition of Action Plus Physiotherapy Rockland in July 2019.

 

Interest expense for the six months ended February 29, 2020 was $78,046, representing a decrease of $16,862, or 17.8%, from $94,908 for the same period in 2019. The decrease is due to less debt outstanding.

  

Write off of acquisition deposit for the six months ended February 29, 2020 was $344,521, representing an increase of $344,521, from $0 for the same period in 2019. The increase is due to the write off of an acquisition deposit which is considered impaired since the acquiree has been dissolved and is no longer in business.

 

Net loss for the six months ended February 29, 2020 was $594,788, representing a decrease of $215,224, or 56.7%, from $379,564 for the same period in 2019. The decrease in net loss is due to the reasons described above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, for the six months ended February 29, 2020, the Company had a net loss of $594,788.

 

During the six months ended February 29, 2020, the Company used cash in operating activities of $579,219 compared to $459,540 for the same period in 2019. The principal reason for the increase is the cash increase used for prepaid expenses and other current assets and for accounts payable offset by the decrease in net loss and by the cash effects of the change in accrued expenses.

 

During the six months ended February 29, 2020, the Company used cash in investing activities of $265,377 compared to $301,871 for the same period in 2019. The principal reason for the change is the payment for two new acquisition deposits partially offset by the return of a previous acquisition deposit in fiscal year 2020.

 

During the six months ended February 29, 2020, the Company used cash of $26,967 in financing activities compared to cash generated from financing activities of $2,437,547 for the same period in 2019. The principal reason for the change is the sale of shares of common stock for $113,399 during the six months ended February 29, 2020, compared to $2,579,923 for the same period in 2019.

 

26
 

 

On October 12, 2019, the Company sold 235,400 restricted shares of common stock to an accredited investor residing outside the United States for a purchase price of $75,328, resulting in an effective price per share of $0.32. The shares were issued on October 15, 2019.

 

On October 19, 2019, the Company sold 118,969 restricted shares of common stock to an accredited investor residing outside the United States for a purchase price of $38,071, resulting in an effective price per share of $0.32. The shares were issued on October 22, 2019.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

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

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

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

 

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

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Noncontrolling Interest

 

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

 

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

 

27
 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

These five elements, as applied to the Company’s revenue category, are summarized below:

 

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

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

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

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

 

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS assumes that all dilutive securities are converted. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions and Comprehensive Income

 

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

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes which amends ASC 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740). This update is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application of ASC 740. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The guidance in this update has various elements, some of which are applied on a prospective basis and others on a retrospective basis with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

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

 

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

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of February 29, 2020. Based upon such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of February 29, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as required under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 of the Exchange Act that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended February 29, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

Except as set forth herein, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there are no material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, to which we are a party or which our property is the subject. In addition, none of our officers, directors, affiliates or 5% stockholders (or any associates thereof) is a party adverse to us, or has a material interest adverse to us, in any material proceeding.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to disclose material changes to the risk factors that were contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019 (the “2019 10-K”). However, in light of the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, set forth below is a risk factor relating to COVID-19. Other than as set forth below, as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors faced by the Company from those previously disclosed in the 2019 10-K.

 

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

In March 2020, the Company announced precautionary measures the Company is taking to protect the health and safety of its employees, partners and patients, as well as the business impact related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Because COVID-19 infections have been reported throughout both Canada and the United States, certain national, provincial, state and local governmental authorities have issued proclamations and/or directives aimed at minimizing the spread of COVID-19. Additional, more restrictive proclamations and/or directives may be issued in the future. As a result, NHL closed all corporate clinics, effective March 17, 2020. In addition, the Company is significantly reducing the engagement of its multi-disciplinary primary healthcare services and products with its client patients as provided through contracted services with eldercare centric facilities and our affiliate clinics.

 

The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations is unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and any additional preventative and protective actions that governments, or the Company, may direct, which may result in an extended period of continued business disruption, reduced patient traffic and reduced operations. Any resulting financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but is anticipated to have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The measures taken to date will impact the Company’s business for the fiscal third quarter and potentially beyond. Management expects that all of its business segments, across all of its geographies, will be impacted to some degree, but the significance of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company’s business and the duration for which it may have an impact cannot be determined at this time.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

In December 2019, the Company issued 8,000,000 restricted shares of common stock to 2731861 Ontario Corp., an Ontario province Canada corporation, pursuant to the terms of the Intellectual Property Asset Purchase Agreement. The shares had a value of $5,248,000.

 

The above sales were made pursuant to an exemption from registration as set forth in Regulation S under the Securities Act. The issuances involved an offer and sale of securities outside the United States. The offers and sales were made in offshore transactions and no directed selling efforts were made by the issuer, a distributor, their affiliates or any persons acting on their behalf.

 

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

 

There have been no defaults in any material payments during the covered period.

 

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

 

(a) None.

 

(b) There have been no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the Company’s Board of Directors since the Company last provided disclosure in response to the requirements of Item 407(c)(3) of Regulation S-K.

PURSUANT TO 18 U.S.C. SECTION 1350,

AS ADOPTED PURSUANT TO SECTION 906 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

Feb. 29, 2020
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

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

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, NHL, Novo Healthnet Rehab Limited, Novo Assessments Inc., an 80% interest in Novo Healthnet Kemptville Centre, Inc., a Back on Track Physiotherapy and Health Centre clinic operated by NHL, and a 70% interest in Novo Earth Therapeutics Inc. (currently inactive), a joint venture with Harvest Gold Farms Inc. All of the Company’s subsidiaries are incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario or New Brunswick, Canada. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Noncontrolling Interest

Noncontrolling Interest

 

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

  

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

Cash Equivalents

Cash Equivalents

 

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

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentration, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Delinquent account balances are written-off after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable and known bad debts are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when identified. As of February 29, 2020, and August 31, 2019, the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable was $489,195 and $471,566, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

 

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

 

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

Long-Lived Assets

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review at February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, the Company believes there was no impairment of its long-lived assets.

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets

 

The Company’s intangible assets consist of land use rights, a software license and intellectual property which will be amortized over 50, 7 and 7 years, respectively. Amortization will begin when the assets are fully placed in service. The Company performs a test for impairment annually. The land use rights, the software license and intellectual property intangible assets were acquired in January 2019, February 2019 and December 2019, respectively. Based on its reviews at August 31, 2019, the Company believes there was no impairment of its intangible assets.

Right-of-use Assets

Right-of-use Assets

 

The Company’s right-of-use assets consist of leased assets recognized in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually all lease contracts. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liability represents the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, both of which are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company determines the lease term by agreement with lessor. As majority of the Company’s leases does not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments.

Goodwill

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the underlying net assets of businesses acquired. Under U.S. GAAP, goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment tests. At February 29, 2020, the Company recorded goodwill of $186,400, $216,224 and $216,224, respectively, related to its acquisition of APKA Health, Inc. during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2017, Executive Fitness Leaders during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018 and Action Plus Physiotherapy Rockland during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019.

  

Summary of changes in goodwill by acquired businesses is as follows:

 

    Apka     EFL     Rockland     Total  
Balance, August 31, 2019   $ 187,675     $ 217,703     $ 217,703     $ 623,081  
Foreign currency translation adjustment     (1,275 )     (1,479 )     (1,479 )     (4,233 )
Balance, February 29, 2020   $ 186,400     $ 216,224     $ 216,224     $ 618,848  

Acquisition Deposits

Acquisition Deposits

 

The Company has signed letters of understanding with two potential acquisition candidates which includes refundable acquisition deposits totaling $636,985 and $716,688 at February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, respectively. During the six months ended February 29, 2020, the Company wrote off an acquisition deposit of $344,521 which is considered impaired since the acquiree has been dissolved and is no longer in business.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and due to related parties, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.

 

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

 

  Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
     
  Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
     
  Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology use one or more unobservable inputs which are significant to the fair value measurement.

 

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

 

As of February 29, 2020, and August 31, 2019, respectively, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.

Fair Value Measurement on a Non-Recurring Basis

Fair Value Measurement on a Non-Recurring Basis

 

The Company measures the fair value of certain assets on a non-recurring basis, generally quarterly, annually or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. These assets include goodwill and intangible assets.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

These five elements, as applied to the Company’s revenue category, are summarized below:

 

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

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

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

 

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

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

 

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

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

 

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS assumes that all dilutive securities are converted. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. There were 10,095,000 options/warrants outstanding as of February 29, 2020. Due to the net loss incurred, potentially dilutive instruments would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss for all periods presented.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Comprehensive Income

Foreign Currency Transactions and Comprehensive Income

 

U.S. GAAP generally requires recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Certain statements, however, require entities to report specific changes in assets and liabilities, such as gain or loss on foreign currency translation, as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries is the CAD. Translation gains of $1,127,845 and $1,138,919 at February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, respectively, are classified as an item of other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet.

Statement of Cash Flows

Statement of Cash Flows

 

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes which amends ASC 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740). This update is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application of ASC 740. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The guidance in this update has various elements, some of which are applied on a prospective basis and others on a retrospective basis with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2018-07) to expand the scope of ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this pronouncement and such adoption did not have a significant impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

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

Leases

Note 10 – Leases

 

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

 

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

 

The table below presents the lease related assets and liabilities recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of February 29, 2020:

Stock options/warrants

 

On September 8, 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2015 Plan”), which authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock to employees, officers, directors or independent consultants of the Company, provided that no person can be granted shares under the 2015 Plan for services related to raising capital or promotional activities. As of February 29, 2020, 4,987,500 shares were available under the 2015 Plan for future grants, awards, options or share issuances. However, because the shares issuable under the 2015 Plan or issuable upon conversion of awards granted under the 2015 Plan are no longer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company does not intend to issue any additional grants under the 2015 Plan.

  

On January 16, 2018, the Company adopted the Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. 2018 Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). Under the 2018 Plan, 10,000,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance to employees, non-employees, directors and key consultants to the Company or its subsidiaries. The 2018 Plan authorizes equity-based and cash-based incentives for participants. There were 9,875,000 shares available for award at February 29, 2020 under the 2018 Plan.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, NHL, Novo Healthnet Rehab Limited, Novo Assessments Inc., an 80% interest in Novo Healthnet Kemptville Centre, Inc., a Back on Track Physiotherapy and Health Centre clinic operated by NHL, and a 70% interest in Novo Earth Therapeutics Inc. (currently inactive), a joint venture with Harvest Gold Farms Inc. All of the Company’s subsidiaries are incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario or New Brunswick, Canada. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

 

Noncontrolling Interest

 

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

  

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

 

Cash Equivalents

 

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

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentration, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Delinquent account balances are written-off after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable and known bad debts are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when identified. As of February 29, 2020, and August 31, 2019, the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable was $489,195 and $471,566, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment

 

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

 

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

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review at February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, the Company believes there was no impairment of its long-lived assets.

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company’s intangible assets consist of land use rights, a software license and intellectual property which will be amortized over 50, 7 and 7 years, respectively. Amortization will begin when the assets are fully placed in service. The Company performs a test for impairment annually. The land use rights, the software license and intellectual property intangible assets were acquired in January 2019, February 2019 and December 2019, respectively. Based on its reviews at August 31, 2019, the Company believes there was no impairment of its intangible assets.

 

Right-of-use Assets

 

The Company’s right-of-use assets consist of leased assets recognized in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually all lease contracts. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liability represents the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, both of which are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company determines the lease term by agreement with lessor. As majority of the Company’s leases does not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the underlying net assets of businesses acquired. Under U.S. GAAP, goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment tests. At February 29, 2020, the Company recorded goodwill of $186,400, $216,224 and $216,224, respectively, related to its acquisition of APKA Health, Inc. during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2017, Executive Fitness Leaders during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018 and Action Plus Physiotherapy Rockland during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019.

  

Summary of changes in goodwill by acquired businesses is as follows:

 

    Apka     EFL     Rockland     Total  
Balance, August 31, 2019   $ 187,675     $ 217,703     $ 217,703     $ 623,081  
Foreign currency translation adjustment     (1,275 )     (1,479 )     (1,479 )     (4,233 )
Balance, February 29, 2020   $ 186,400     $ 216,224     $ 216,224     $ 618,848  

 

Acquisition Deposits

 

The Company has signed letters of understanding with two potential acquisition candidates which includes refundable acquisition deposits totaling $636,985 and $716,688 at February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, respectively. During the six months ended February 29, 2020, the Company wrote off an acquisition deposit of $344,521 which is considered impaired since the acquiree has been dissolved and is no longer in business.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and due to related parties, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.

 

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

 

  Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
     
  Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
     
  Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology use one or more unobservable inputs which are significant to the fair value measurement.

 

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

 

As of February 29, 2020, and August 31, 2019, respectively, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.

 

Fair Value Measurement on a Non-Recurring Basis

 

The Company measures the fair value of certain assets on a non-recurring basis, generally quarterly, annually or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. These assets include goodwill and intangible assets.

  

Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

These five elements, as applied to the Company’s revenue category, are summarized below:

 

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

 

Income Taxes

 

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

 

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

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

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

  

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

 

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS assumes that all dilutive securities are converted. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. There were 10,095,000 options/warrants outstanding as of February 29, 2020. Due to the net loss incurred, potentially dilutive instruments would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss for all periods presented.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions and Comprehensive Income

 

U.S. GAAP generally requires recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Certain statements, however, require entities to report specific changes in assets and liabilities, such as gain or loss on foreign currency translation, as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries is the CAD. Translation gains of $1,127,845 and $1,138,919 at February 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, respectively, are classified as an item of other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet.

 

Statement of Cash Flows

 

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

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes which amends ASC 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740). This update is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application of ASC 740. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The guidance in this update has various elements, some of which are applied on a prospective basis and others on a retrospective basis with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2018-07) to expand the scope of ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this pronouncement and such adoption did not have a significant impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

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

On February 26, 2019, Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) and Novo Healthnet Limited (“NHL”) entered into a Software License Agreement (the “Cloud DX License”) with Cloud DX Inc. (“Cloud DX”), pursuant to which Cloud DX agreed to sell, and NHL agreed to purchase, a fully paid up, perpetual license, with 5-year conditional exclusivity, for the Cloud DX Bundled Pulsewave PAD-1A USB Blood Pressure Device, up-to-date product releases and Licensed Software Products (the “Licensed Software”). Pursuant to the terms of the Cloud DX License, Cloud DX also agreed to sell, and NHL agreed to purchase, 4,000 fully functional Pulsewave PAD 1A USB blood pressure monitor devices bundled with the perpetual license discussed above (the “Bundled Devices”).

 

The Cloud DX License granted to NHL and its majority-owned subsidiaries, holding companies, divisions and affiliates, other than physiotherapy clinics owned and operated by Closing The Gap Healthcare Inc., the right to use and sub-license the Licensed Software and re-sell the Bundled Devices pursuant to the terms of the Cloud DX License in the physical therapy clinic marketplace in North America in exchange for the purchase price as set forth below:

 

  Upon the closing, the Company issued 458,349 restricted shares of its common stock having a value (as calculated as set forth in the Cloud DX License) of CAD$1,000,000 (approximately $758,567 as of February 26, 2019), and
     
  Cloud DX agreed to invoice CAD$250,000 (approximately $189,642 as of February 26, 2019) to NHL based on the following deliverables, and paid on the following schedule:

 

  Cloud DX deliverable   Novo payment (terms: Net 15)
  Heart Friendly Program launches in Clinic #1   CAD$50,000 (approximately $37,929 as of February 26, 2019)
  Novo-branded Android app delivered as APK file   CAD$35,000 (approximately $26,550 as of February 26, 2019)
  Novo-branded Clinical portal website delivered   CAD$35,000 (approximately $26,550 as of February 26, 2019)
  Pulsewave PAD-1A devices – 1st delivery   CAD$20,000 (approximately $15,171 as of February 26, 2019)

  Cloud DX hires dedicated Novo support FTE   CAD$85,000 (approximately $64,478 as of February 26, 2019)

  

On March 9, 2020, the Company and NHL entered into that certain First Amendment to Cloud DX Perpetual Software License Agreement (the “Cloud DX Amendment”) with Cloud DX, effective March 6, 2020, pursuant to which the parties thereto agreed that the CAD$250,000 (approximately $186,231 as of March 6, 2020) that was to be paid by NHL based on the above deliverables would be paid as a one-time payment of 465,578 restricted shares of Company common stock. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Cloud DX Amendment, the parties agreed to settle a $200,000 fee owed by NHL to Cloud DX through payment of 500,000 restricted shares of Company common stock.

 

Except as set forth in the Cloud DX Amendment, the remaining terms and conditions of the Cloud DX License remain in full force and effect.

 

Change in Independent Registered Accounting Firm

 

On March 10, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors terminated the engagement of NVS Professional Corporation (formerly NVS Chartered Accountants Professional Corporation) (“NVS”) as the Company’s independent registered accounting firm, and appointed SRCO Professional Corporation (“SRCO”) as the Company’s new independent registered accounting firm.

 

Filing of Preliminary Offering Statement on Form 1-A with the SEC

 

On April 2, 2020, the Company filed a preliminary offering statement on Form 1-A (the “Form 1-A”) with the SEC relating to the offering by the Company of up to 15,000,000 shares of its common stock, with an aggregate amount of $30,000,000, in a “Tier 2 Offering” under Regulation A (the “Offering”). The Company expects that the fixed initial public offering price per share will be from $1.00 to $3.00 per share upon qualification of the Form 1-A by the SEC. There is no minimum number of shares that needs to be sold in order for funds to be released to the Company and for the Offering to close. The Company expects to commence the sale of the shares as of the date on which the Form 1-A is declared qualified by the SEC. No sales will be made prior to the qualification of the Form 1-A by the SEC. There can be no assurance that the Form 1-A will be declared qualified by the SEC.

 

Impact of COVID-19

 

The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations is unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and any additional preventative and protective actions that governments, or the Company, may direct, which may result in an extended period of continued business disruption, reduced patient traffic and reduced operations. Any resulting financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but is anticipated to have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

Organization and Line of Business

 

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

 

The Company delivers multi-disciplinary primary healthcare through our 16 corporate-owned clinics and a contracted network of 103 affiliate clinics and 226 eldercare centric homes located across Canada. Our team of practitioners and staff are trained for assessment, diagnosis, treatment, pain management, rehabilitation and primary prevention. Our specialized services and products include physiotherapy, chiropractic care, occupational therapy, eldercare, laser therapeutics, massage therapy, acupuncture, chiropody, neurological functions, kinesiology, concussion management and baseline testing, women’s pelvic health, sports medicine therapy, assistive devices and private personal training. We do not provide primary care medical services, none of our employees practice primary care medicine, and our services do not require a medical or nursing license.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, the results of its operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) were omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results of operations for the six months ended February 29, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending August 31, 2020.

  

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

On March 9, 2020, the Company and NHL entered into that certain First Amendment to Cloud DX Perpetual Software License Agreement (the “Cloud DX Amendment”) with Cloud DX, effective March 6, 2020, pursuant to which the parties thereto agreed that the CAD$250,000 (approximately $186,231 as of March 6, 2020) that was to be paid by NHL based on the above deliverables would be paid as a one-time payment of 465,578 restricted shares of Company common stock. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Cloud DX Amendment, the parties agreed to settle a $200,000 fee owed by NHL to Cloud DX through payment of 500,000 restricted shares of Company common stock.

 

Except as set forth in the Cloud DX Amendment, the remaining terms and conditions of the Cloud DX License remain in full force and effect.

 

Change in Independent Registered Accounting Firm

 

On March 10, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors terminated the engagement of NVS Professional Corporation (formerly NVS Chartered Accountants Professional Corporation) (“NVS”) as the Company’s independent registered accounting firm, and appointed SRCO Professional Corporation (“SRCO”) as the Company’s new independent registered accounting firm.

 

Filing of Preliminary Offering Statement on Form 1-A with the SEC

 

On April 2, 2020, the Company filed a preliminary offering statement on Form 1-A (the “Form 1-A”) with the SEC relating to the offering by the Company of up to 15,000,000 shares of its common stock, with an aggregate amount of $30,000,000, in a “Tier 2 Offering” under Regulation A (the “Offering”). The Company expects that the fixed initial public offering price per share will be from $1.00 to $3.00 per share upon qualification of the Form 1-A by the SEC. There is no minimum number of shares that needs to be sold in order for funds to be released to the Company and for the Offering to close. The Company expects to commence the sale of the shares as of the date on which the Form 1-A is declared qualified by the SEC. No sales will be made prior to the qualification of the Form 1-A by the SEC. There can be no assurance that the Form 1-A will be declared qualified by the SEC.

 

Impact of COVID-19

 

The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations is unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and any additional preventative and protective actions that governments, or the Company, may direct, which may result in an extended period of continued business disruption, reduced patient traffic and reduced operations. Any resulting financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but is anticipated to have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
