REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of

GreeneStone Healthcare Corporation

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated interim balance sheet of GreeneStone Healthcare Corporation as of March 31, 2013, and the related consolidated interim statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the three month period ended March 31, 2013. These consolidated interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of consolidated interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

1. Nature of business

GreeneStone Healthcare Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Colorado, USA, on April 1, 1993. Effective May 2012, the Company changed its corporate name to GreeneStone Healthcare Corporation from Nova Natural Resources Corporation. As at March 31, 2013, the Company owns 100% of the outstanding shares of each of 1816191 Ontario Limited and Greenestone Clinic Muskoka Inc., both of which were incorporated in 2010 under the laws of the province of Ontario, Canada. 1816191 Ontario Limited and Greenestone Clinic Muskoka Inc. provide medical services to various patients in clinics located in two regions in Ontario, Canada; the city of Toronto and the regional municipality of Muskoka. These consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP").

2. Going concern

The Company’s consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations in the normal course of business. As at March 31, 2013, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $3,896,058 and accumulated deficit of $10,680,034. Accordingly, the Company will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of common shares, and, or debt financing in order to implement its business plan. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful with future financing ventures, and the inability to secure such financing may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. These consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations.

3. Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies of the Company are in accordance with US GAAP applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year. Outlined below are those policies considered particularly significant.

a) Principals of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its two subsidiaries, as noted in note 1. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

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

3. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)

a) Principals of consolidation (cont’d) 

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

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

b) Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the rendering of services when they are earned; specifically when all of the following conditions are met:

In particular, the Company recognizes:

Deferred revenue represents monies deposited by the patients for future services to be provided by the Company. Such monies will be recognized into revenue as the patient progresses through their treatment term.

c) Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the recognition, measurement and disclosure of amounts reported in the consolidated interim financial statements and accompanying notes. The reported amounts, including depreciation, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and note disclosures are determined using management's best estimates based on assumptions that reflect the most probable set of economic conditions and planned courses of action. Actual results will differ from such estimates.

d) Non-monetary transactions

The Company’s policy is to measure an asset exchanged or transferred in a non-monetary transaction at the more reliable measurement of the fair value of the asset given up and the fair value of the asset received, unless:

d) Non-monetary transactions (cont’d)

e) Cash

The Company's policy is to disclose bank balances under cash, including bank overdrafts with balances that fluctuate frequently from being positive to overdrawn and term deposits with a maturity period of three months or less from the date of acquisition.

f) Accounts receivable

The Company's policy is to disclose accounts receivable net of a reserve for doubtful accounts.

g) Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

h) Financial instruments

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

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include accounts receivable.

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

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

3. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)

h) Financial instruments (cont’d)

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

The Company does not have assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2013. The Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the three month period ended March 31, 2013.

i) Fixed assets

Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the declining balance method at the following annual rates:

Leasehold improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over the term of the lease. Half rates are used for all fixed assets in the year of acquisition.

j) Leases

Leases are classified as either capital or operating leases.  Leases that transfer substantially all of the benefits and inherent risks of ownership of property to the Company are accounted for as capital leases.  At the time a capital lease is entered into, an asset is recorded together with its related long-term obligation to reflect the acquisition and financing.  Equipment recorded under capital leases is amortized on the same basis as described above.  Payments under operating leases are expensed as incurred.

k) Income taxes

The Company uses the future income tax method to account for income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the carrying value and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities. Any change in the net amount of future income tax assets and liabilities is included in income. Future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on enacted or substantively enacted tax rates and laws which are expected to apply to the Company's taxable income for the periods in which the assets and liabilities will be recovered. Future income tax assets are recognized when it is more likely than not that they will be realized.

3. Significant accounting policies (cont’d)

l) Earnings per share information

FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” provides for calculation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted earnings per share. Basic and diluted loss per share was the same, at the reporting dates, as there were no common share equivalents outstanding.

m) Share based expenses

ASC 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation" codified SFAS No. 123 prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based payments awarded to employees, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights that may be classified as either equity or liabilities. The Company should determine if a present obligation to settle the share-based payment transaction in cash or other assets exists. A present obligation to settle in cash or other assets exists if: (a) the option to settle by issuing equity instruments lacks commercial substance or (b) the present obligation is implied because of an entity's past practices or stated policies. If a present obligation exists, the transaction should be recognized as a liability; otherwise, the transaction should be recognized as equity.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50 "Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees" which codified SFAS 123 and the Emerging Issues Task Force consensus in Issue No. 96-18 ("EITF 96-18"), "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services". Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees shall be based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction should be determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.

4. Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In December 2011 the Financial Accounting Standards Board “FASB” issued new guidance on the disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The new guidance enhances disclosures required by US GAAP by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments. The new guidance is to be adopted for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods. The new guidance is to be retrospectively applied for all comparative periods presented. The Company has reviewed and adopted this guidance. The Company has concluded that the result of adopting of this guidance does not have a material impact on the consolidated interim and annual financial statements.

5. Financial instruments

The Company is exposed to various risks through its financial instruments. The following analysis provides a measure of the Company's risk exposure and concentrations at the balance sheet date, March 31, 2013.

5. Financial instruments (cont’d)

(a) Credit risk

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

With respect to accounts receivable of $376,642 (December 31, 2012: $380,043), the Company receives most of its revenues in 1816191 Ontario Inc. from the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, a provincially regulated program (note 6). The Company performs frequent reviews of billing reports submitted to the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, to ensure accuracy and filing on a timely basis. Allowances are provided for potential losses that have been incurred at the balance sheet date.

Credit risk associated with accounts receivable of Greenestone Clinic Muskoka Inc. is mitigated due to balances from many customers, as well as through credit checks and frequent reviews of receivables to ensure timely collection. In addition, there is no concentration risk with the Greenestone Clinic Muskoka Inc. accounts receivable balance since balances are due from many customers.

In the opinion of management, credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is assessed as low, not material and remains unchanged from the prior year.

(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk through its working capital deficiency of $3,896,058 and accumulated deficit of $10,680,034. As disclosed in note 2, the Company will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital in order to implement its business plan. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful with future financing ventures, and the inability to secure such financing may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. In the opinion of management, liquidity risk is assessed as high, material and remains unchanged from the prior year.

In the opinion of management, liquidity risk associated with bank indebtedness of $144,494 (December 31, 2012: $70,803) is assessed as low, not material and unchanged from the prior year. The Company ensures that financial liabilities are placed with a financial institution with a high credit rating in order to mitigate the risk. There is a concentration risk associated with the bank indebtedness since the Company uses one financial institution.

(c) Market risk

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

5. Financial instruments (cont’d)

i. Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its bank indebtedness of $144,494 (December 31, 2012: $70,803). This liability is based on floating rates of interest that have been stable during the current reporting period. In the opinion of management, interest rate risk is assessed as low, not material and remains unchanged from the prior year.

ii. Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is subject to currency risk as its subsidiaries operate in Canada and are subject to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar. Most of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are denominated in Canadian dollars. Based on the net exposures at March 31, 2013, a 5% depreciation or appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar would result in an approximate $19,000 increase or decrease in the Company’s after-tax net loss, respectively. The Company has not entered into any hedging agreements to mediate this risk. In the opinion of management, currency risk is assessed as low, material and remains unchanged from the prior year.

iii. Other price risk

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

6. Accounts receivable

The consolidated accounts receivable balance consists primarily of amounts due from the following parties:

6. Accounts receivable (cont’d)

The Company is economically dependent on and earns a significant portion of revenues from the Ontario Ministry of Health for its ability to carry out its normal activities. These revenues account for 35% of the Company’s consolidated revenue in the three month period ending March 31, 2013 (December 31, 2012: 35%).

7. Fixed assets

8. Convertible notes payable

The notes are convertible at the option of the holder up to the maturity date; any convertible debentures still outstanding as at their maturity date will automatically convert into common shares of the Company. Accordingly, these convertible notes payable are considered current liabilities by nature. The Company has adequate common shares in its treasury to cover the conversions if all notes are exercised.

8. Convertible notes payable (cont’d)

The Company has the following convertible notes outstanding.

*The actual number of shares issued if converted will vary depending on the exchange rate at time of conversion.

8. Convertible notes payable (cont’d)

During the three month period ended March 31, 2013, the Company issued 2,512,389 common shares from convertible notes payable at an average conversion rate of $0.14 per share.

On March 31, 2013 convertible debentures totaling $352,878 had matured and were to be converted to restricted shares. This is dependent on a Directors Resolution being issued by the Company. As of the date of our report a Directors Resolution had not been formally issued. The Board of Directors has indicated that in due time they will pass the resolution. Since the convertible debentures include an automatic conversion on maturity feature, and to accurately reflect the maturity of the debt and conversion to shares as of March 31, 2013, the financial information presented in these consolidated interim financial statements has treated the debt of $352,878 as matured and converted into restricted shares totaling 2,512,389.

9. Loan payable

The Company has an automobile loan payable bearing interest at 4.49% with blended monthly payments of $835 that matures March 2018. The loan is secured by the vehicle with a net book value as at March 31, 2013 of $39,121. Estimated principal and interest re-payments to December 31^st are as follows:

10. Related party transactions

The balance due to related party as at March 31, 2013 to Greenestone Clinic Inc. The Company is related to Greenestone Clinic Inc. as it is controlled by one of the Company’s directors. The balance owing is non-interest bearing, not secured and has no specified terms of repayment.

The Company had management fees totaling $49,595 during the three month period ended March 31, 2013 (March 31, 2012: $29,967) to the director for services which are included in management fees.

The Company entered into an agreement to lease premises from Cranberry Cove Holdings Ltd. at market terms. During the three month period ended March 31, 2013, the Company had rent expense of $138,000 (March 31, 2012: $84,000) to Cranberry Cove Holdings Ltd. Cranberry Cove Holdings Ltd. is related to the Company by virtue of its shareholder being a director of the Company.

All related party transactions occur in the normal course of operations and are measured at the exchange amount, as agreed upon by the related parties.

11. Stockholders’ deficit

Authorized common shares

On June 30, 2012, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Colorado Secretary of State to increase the aggregate number of shares which the Company has authority to issue to one hundred million (100,000,000) common shares, issued at $0.01 par value per share from 50,000,000 common shares with par value at $0.01. The amendment was approved by the Colorado Secretary of State in May 2012.

On March 25, 2013 the Company filed a certificate of Amendment with the Colorado Secretary of State to increase the aggregate number of shares which the Company has the authority to issue to five hundred million (500,000,000) common shares, issued at $0.01 par value per share from 100,000,000 common shares with par value at $0.01, to authorize three million (3,000,000) series A convertible preferred shares, par value of $1.00 per share, and to the authorize ten million (10,000,000) series B convertible preferred shares, par value $0.01 per share. Each series B convertible preferred shares is convertible into 10 Common shares. The amendment was approved by the Colorado Secretary of State on March 26, 2013.

Issued common shares

The Company has a total of 29,746,668 issued and outstanding common shares as at March 31, 2013. In the prior year, the Company issued 13,712,711 of common shares at an average conversion rate of $0.078 per share. Of the issued common shares, $1,062,831 notes were converted into 7,187,711 restricted common shares and 6,525,000 unrestricted common shares.

Net loss per common share

Net loss per share is computed using the basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each year is used to compute basic loss per share.  Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding unless common stock equivalent shares are anti-dilutive.  Dilutive potential common shares are additional common shares that will be exercised. Basic net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common shares outstanding during the three month period ended March 31, 2013.  

12. Commitments

The Company is committed under three non-cancellable operating lease agreements for rental of premises. The rental of premise agreement for the subsidiary, 1816191 Ontario Inc. which expires July 2013 and the premise agreements for the subsidiary, Greenestone Clinic Muskoka Inc. which expires May 2013, July 2013 and March 2016 (note 10).

Future minimum annual payment requirements are as follows:

13. Income taxes

Current or future U.S. federal income tax provision or benefits have not been provided for any of the periods presented because the Company has experienced operating losses since inception. Under ASC 740 “Income Taxes,” when it is more likely than not that a tax asset cannot be realized through future income the Company must allow for this future tax benefit. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the net future tax asset, consisting of net operating loss carry forwards, because management has determined that it is more likely than not that they will not earn income sufficient to realize the future tax assets during the carry forward period.

The Company has not taken a tax position that, if challenged, would have a material effect on the financial statements for the three month period ended March 31, 2013, applicable under ASC 740. As a result of the adoption of ASC 740, the Company did not recognize any adjustment to the liability for uncertain tax position and therefore did not record any adjustment to the beginning balance of accumulated deficit on the balance sheet.

The components of the Company’s future tax asset as at March 31, 2013, March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:

A reconciliation of income taxes computed at the 35% statutory rate to the income tax recorded is as follows:

The Company did not pay any income taxes during the three month period ended March 31, 2013, March 31, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2012.

The net federal operating loss carry forwards will expire in 2023 through 2032. This carry forward may be limited upon the consummation of a business combination under IRC Section 381.

14. Management of capital

The Company’s objectives of capital management are to safeguard its ability to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. The Company defines capital as the total of its total assets less total liabilities.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in its economic environment and the risk characteristics of the Company’s assets. To effectively manage the Company’s capital requirements, the Company has in place a planning, budgeting and forecasting process to help determine the funds required to ensure the Company has the appropriate liquidity to meet its operating and growth objectives. The Company is dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of common shares, and, or debt financing to support its normal operating requirements. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful with future financing ventures, and the inability to secure such financing may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. As at March 31, 2013 there was no externally imposed capital requirement to which the Company is subject and with which the Company has not complied.

15. Asset retirement obligations

As at March 31, 2013, the Company has no legal obligations associated with the retirement of its tangible long-lived assets that it is required to settle.

16. Segmented information

The Company has two reportable segments: gastrointestinal clinical services and addiction and rehabilitation treatments. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (note 3). The Company evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes not including non-recurring gains and losses and foreign exchange gains and losses. The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different services. They are managed separately because each business requires different technology, specialists and marketing strategies.

17. Bank indebtedness

The Company does not have any operating line of credit facility or bank overdraft feature with any of its bank accounts.

18. Subsequent events

Application to stock exchange

The Company is in the process of applying to the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) which would allow the Company to be listed on the NYSE-Amex exchange. The Company believes being listed on the NYSE will assist it in attracting the capital needed to support its operations.

Clinic expansion

The Company is seeking to significantly increase its capacity at its in-patient treatment facility from 36 beds to 200 beds over the next twenty four months.

Awarded an exclusive regional contract

The Company was awarded an exclusive contract to provide treatment services for a major regional government organization with regards to post traumatic stress disorder. The Company plans to open a second facility in order to service this contact.

Surgical suite

The Company has decided to move forward with a multi-year lease extension at its facility which will allow the Company to make the investment to expand into providing surgical procedures such as gastric banding and non-related procedures such as plastic surgery.

19. Comparative figures

The presentation of certain amounts on the consolidated interim financial statements for the previous period has been changed to conform with the financial statement presentation adopted for the three month period ended March 31, 2013. The net loss for the previous period is not affected by this reclassification.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports filed by Greenestone Healthcare Corp. (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) from time to time with the SEC contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.

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

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments, and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes to the financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Plan of Operation

During the next twelve months, the Company plans to continue its operations as a provider of addiction and after-care treatment services, as well as a provider of endoscopy and other specialized medical procedures at its various locations. The Company plans to focus on the growth of its existing business units while simultaneously paring costs in operations.

In 2013, the Company plans to market the current endoscopy segment of the business to family practitioners, as they are a major referral source for the Company’s business. The Company also plans to begin a marketing campaign focused on corporations and insurance companies as referral sources, as well as create an Internet-based marketing campaign. Further, the Company plans to add additional specialist offices at the Company’s North York location, as well as an operating room, thereby providing the opportunity to deliver additional services to patients and increase overall revenue.

At the end of 2012, the Company’s endoscopy business segment at the Yonge Street Facility was only operating at approximately 40% of its potential capacity. During 2013, the Company plans to expand the operations at the Yonge Street Facility in order to maximize potential revenues.

The Company believes that it will need a minimum of $2,000,000 to cover its planned operations over the next 12 months. This estimate includes (i) $200,000 for marketing; (ii) $250,000 for leasehold improvements at its North York facility; and (iii) 1,550,000 for tax obligations.

In 2012, in an attempt to hire top talent in the addiction treatment segment of its business, the company hired excess employees in the start-up phase. The Company has already replaced its initial U.S.-based clinical team with a permanent Canadian-based team, the best of which have been retained as the core of the Company’s current clinical team. We believe that the additional reductions in staffing the Company plans to make to its existing operations in 2013, in order to increase operational efficiency, will result in a net reduction in payroll of approximately $1,000,000 in 2013, compared to 2012. These reductions do not factor in any future acquisitions the Company may make in 2013.

In addition to planned staff reductions, the Company plans to reduce rent expenses in 2013. On April 1, 2013, a rent increase to the Bala Property raised the monthly lease payment to $55,000. In 2013, the Company plans to purchase the Bala Property from Cranberry and refinance the existing debt on the Bala Property. The Company believes that the cash cost of the mortgage will be less than $30,000 per month. Additionally, the Company plans to lease new space in Toronto, Ontario, for its outpatient treatment center. When this occurs, the Company’s current outpatient facility will be moved to this new location, along with Company’s executive offices, thereby reducing rent by approximately $23,000 per month.

Results of Operations

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013, Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

Revenue

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, revenues increased to $1,444,267, from $1,257,411 during the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $186,856. This increase is mainly attributable to a steady increase in business volume since the Company began operations. Revenue from the endoscopy practice was $521,165, compared to revenue of $436,804 during the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $84,361. Revenue in the mental health division for the three months ended March 31, 2013, was $923,102 compared to $820,606 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $102,496. The Company believes that revenue will continue to grow steadily and the Company will become more profitable as most of its costs, such as rent and salaries and wages are relatively fixed, and therefore will reduce as a percentage as business volume grows. 

Cost of Revenue

Our cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2013, was $293,092, compared to $251,178 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of 41,914. The cost of revenue primarily represents payments made to the doctors for endoscopy procedures performed. These amounts are calculated based on amounts billed to the Ontario Ministry of Health under the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). In general, the doctor performing the actual medical procedure will receive approximately 60% of the amount received from OHIP adjusted for amounts deducted from those amounts received for facility fees.

Gross Profit

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, gross profits increased to $1,151,175, from $1,006,233 during the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $144,942. This increase is mainly attributable to an increase in business volume since the Company began operations.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012, were $1,527,307, compared to $1,276,075 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $251,232. This increase in expenses is mainly attributable to increased operations. Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily consisted of salaries and wages to medical support staff of $818,881; rent payments of $250,169; professional fees of $100,771; management fees of $49,595; and general and administrative expenses of $149,799.

Net Loss

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the net loss was $ 376,132, compared to $269,842 during the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $106,290. This increase is attributable to the steady increase in revenues and business operations. Going forward, the Company will no longer be incurring certain costs that are considered one-time costs associated with starting a business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes working capital at March 31, 2013, compared to March 31, 2012.

Over the next twelve months, we believe that our existing capital combined with our anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to sustain our current operations. It is anticipated that we will need to sell additional equity and/or debt securities in the event we locate potential mergers and/or acquisitions and will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital in order to implement its business plan. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful with future financing ventures, and the inability to secure such financing may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. In the opinion of management, the Company’s liquidity risk is assessed as high and remains unchanged from the prior year.

Accounts receivable at March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, was $376,642 and $316,551, respectively, representing an increase of $60,091. The Company earns a significant portion of revenues from the Ontario Ministry of Health for its ability to carry out its normal activities. These revenues account for approximately 36% of the Company’s consolidated sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting policies of the Company are in accordance with U.S. GAAP applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year. Outlined below are those policies considered particularly significant.

Principals of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its two subsidiaries, as described in Note 1. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

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

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

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

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue for the rendering of services when they are earned; specifically when all the following conditions are met:

In particular, the Company recognizes:

Fees for gastrointestinal clinical services, out-patient counseling, coaching, intervention, psychological assessments and other related services when patients receive the service; and

Deferred revenue represents monies deposited by the patients for future services to be provided by the Company. Such monies will be recognized into revenue as the patient progresses through their treatment term.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the recognition, measurement and disclosure of amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The reported amounts, including depreciation, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and note disclosures are determined using management’s best estimates based on assumptions that reflect the most probable set of economic conditions and planned courses of action. Actual results will differ from such estimates.

Non-Monetary Transactions

The Company’s policy is to measure an asset exchanged or transferred in a non-monetary transaction at the more reliable measurement of the fair value of the asset given up and the fair value of the asset received, unless:

Cash

The Company’s policy is to disclose bank balances under cash, including bank overdrafts with balances that fluctuate frequently from being positive to overdrawn and term deposits with a maturity period of three months or less from the date of acquisition.

Accounts Receivable

The Company’s policy is to disclose accounts receivable net of a reserve for doubtful accounts.

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Financial Instruments

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

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

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

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

The Company does not have assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2013, and March 31, 2012, respectively. The Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the three months period ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the declining balance method at the following annual rates:

Leasehold improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over the term of the lease. Half rates are used for all fixed assets in the year of acquisition. 

Leases

Leases are classified as either capital or operating leases. Leases that transfer substantially all of the benefits and inherent risks of ownership of property to the Company are accounted for as capital leases. At the time a capital lease is entered into, an asset is recorded together with its related long-term obligation to reflect the acquisition and financing. Equipment recorded under capital leases is amortized on the same basis as described above. Payments under operating leases are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the future income tax method to account for income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the carrying value and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities. Any change in the net amount of future income tax assets and liabilities is included in income. Future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on enacted or substantively enacted tax rates and laws which are expected to apply to the Company’s taxable income for the periods in which the assets and liabilities will be recovered. Future income tax assets are recognized when it is more likely than not that they will be realized.

Earnings per Share Information

FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” provides for calculation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted earnings per share. Basic and diluted loss per share was the same, at the reporting dates, as there were no common share equivalents outstanding.

Share Based Expenses

ASC 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation” codified SFAS No. 123 prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based payments awarded to employees, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights that may be classified as either equity or liabilities. The Company should determine if a present obligation to settle the share-based payment transaction in cash or other assets exists. A present obligation to settle in cash or other assets exists if: (a) the option to settle by issuing equity instruments lacks commercial substance or (b) the present obligation is implied because of an entity’s past practices or stated policies. If a present obligation exists, the transaction should be recognized as a liability; otherwise, the transaction should be recognized as equity.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50 “Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees” which codified SFAS 123 and the Emerging Issues Task Force consensus in Issue No. 96-18 (“EITF 96-18”), “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”. Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees shall be based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction should be determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board “FASB” issued new guidance on the disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The new guidance enhances disclosures required by US GAAP by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments. The new guidance is to be adopted for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The new guidance is to be retrospectively applied for all comparative periods presented. The Company has reviewed and adopted this guidance. The Company has concluded that the result of adopting of this guidance does not have a material impact on the consolidated interim and annual financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide a reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Management designed the disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our PEO and PFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based upon that evaluation, the PEO and PFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
