TABLE OF CONTENTS

PART I

Item 1. Business.

Company History

Ethema Health Corporation (the “Company” or “Ethema”), a Colorado corporation was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on April 1, 1993, and is the surviving company of a merger, effective February 1, 1995, between the Company and Nova Natural Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Nova Delaware”). The merger was effectuated solely for the purpose of changing the Company’s domicile from Delaware to Colorado. At all times prior to 2001, the Company was engaged in the oil and gas exploration business. Nova Delaware was the successor entity to Nova Petroleum Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and Power Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation, which merged in 1986 (“the 1986 Merger”). Prior to the 1986 Merger, Nova Petroleum Corporation and Power Resources Corporation had operated since 1979 and 1972, respectively. In 2001, the Company entered into the electronics business and this business was active in 2001 and 2002, as part of the Torita Group. After 2002, the Company continued with various stages of development in this business until 2010.

On April 1, 2010, the Company changed its principal operations from development stage electronics to healthcare services. On March 29, 2010, the Company entered into a one year consulting agreement with GreeneStone Clinic Inc., a Canadian corporation (“Greenestone Clinic”), whereby Greenestone Clinic provided consulting services for the Company’s development and operation of medical clinics in the province of Ontario, Canada. Specifically, Greenestone Clinic provided medical and business expertise in the initial startup of private clinics and technical assistance to ensure that the clinics were in compliance with governmental policy and procedure requirements as well as any operational requirements. At the time of entering into this consulting agreement, Greenestone Clinic operated a clinic at the Muskoka property housing its addiction treatment clinic and provided endoscopy services. The Company started offering medical services in June 2010, offering various medical services, including endoscopy, cardiology and executive medicals, which services were subsequently sold.

On May 15, 2010, the Company secured a sublease of space (which was previously the Rothbart Pain Clinic) of approximately 8,000 sq. ft. to be used as the Company’s executive offices and to run an endoscopy clinic. The Endoscopy clinic was subsequently sold. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary GreeneStone Clinic Muskoka Inc. (“GreeneStone Muskoka”), also entered into a lease with the owner of the Muskoka premises on April 1, 2011 and provided mental health and addiction treatment services and operated an in-patient addiction treatment center at this location.

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

On February 14, 2017, the Company completed a series of transactions (referred to collectively as the “Restructuring Transactions”), including a Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) whereby the Company acquired 100% of the stock of Cranberry Cove Holdings Ltd. (“CCH”), which held the real estate on which the Company’s GreeneStone Muskoka operated, an asset purchase agreement (the “APA”) and lease (the “Lease”) whereby the Company sold certain of the GreeneStone Muskoka business assets and leased the real estate to the buyer, and a real estate purchase agreement and asset purchase agreement whereby the Company purchased the real estate and business assets of Seastone Delray (the “Florida Purchase”).

The Share Purchase Agreement

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

The Asset Purchase Agreement and Lease

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

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

The Florida Purchase

Immediately after closing on the sale of the assets of the Canadian Rehab Clinic, the Company closed on the acquisition of the business and real estate assets of Seastone Delray pursuant to certain real estate and asset purchase agreements. This business is operated through its wholly owned subsidiary, Addiction Recovery Institute of America, LLC (“ARIA”) (formerly Seastone Delray Healthcare, LLC). The purchase price for the ARIA assets was US$6,070,000 financed with a purchase money mortgage of US$3,000,000, and US$3,070,000 in cash.

On April 4, 2017 the Company changed its Corporate name from Greenestone Healthcare Corporation to Ethema Health Corporation.

On August 3, 2018, the Company changed the name of its subsidiary Seastone Delray Healthcare, LLC to Addiction Recovery Institute of America, LLC (“ARIA”).

Recent Developments

On February 25, 2019, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent whereby it would purchase a 33.33% interest in Local Link Wellness, LLC (“LLW”) for gross proceeds of $400,000. LLW proposes to provide a comprehensive addiction treatment program to large employee groups. The company has advanced LLW a total of $110,000 as of April 12, 2019. These funds were advanced as short-term promissory notes that will be immediately due and payable if the parties fail to reach a binding agreement by April 30, 2019. Upon the closing of a binding agreement, the short-term promissory notes will be converted to equity.

On April 2, 2019, the Company entered into a Commercial Contract whereby the real property at 801 Andrews Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida, consisting of land and condominiums thereon, was sold to JAGGM, LLC for $3,500,000. This transaction is expected to close on April 26, 2019.

Corporate Structure

This company was acquired from Leon Developments and owns and leases the property on which CART operates an addiction treatment center.

ARIA operated a treatment center in Delray Beach, Florida out of premises which it had acquired in February 2017. The treatment center was relocated and is now operated out of leased premises in West Palm Beach Florida. The Company has an option to buy the leased premises.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

In the securities transactions described below, shares were issued pursuant to the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, afforded the Company under Section 4(a)(2) promulgated thereunder due to the fact that the issuance did not involve a public offering because of the insubstantial number of persons involved in each offering, the size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of shares offered. Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(a) (2) of the Securities Act for these transactions.

Penny Stock

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted rules that regulate broker dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a tollfree telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

The broker dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

Not applicable as we are a smaller reporting company.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements 

Many of the matters discussed within this Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) on our current expectations and projections about future events. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar expressions. These statements are based on our current beliefs, expectations, and assumptions and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed, projected or implied in or by the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include the risks noted under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” but are also contained elsewhere. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward looking statements. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Ethema,” refer to Ethema Health Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. 

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 year ended December 31, 2018.

Results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017.

The company sold its Greenestone Muskoka Treatment Center effective February 17, 2017, simultaneously with the purchase of the assets and real estate of an addiction treatment center in Delray Beach, Florida. The disposal of the Greenestone Muskoka Treatment Center has been reflected as a discontinued operation in the financial statements as of December 31, 2017 and the results of operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017.

Revenue

Revenue was $432,515 and $929,416 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of $469,901 or 53.5%.

Revenue from patient treatment was $101,514 and $637,833 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of $536,319 or 84.1%. The decrease is primarily due to the relocation of the Company’s treatment operations to a significantly larger West Palm Beach facility from the Delray Beach facility during the current year and delays in attracting new patients to our new facility; and an adjustment to the doubtful accounts provision based on current collection experience. The Company is actively building up its customer contact base to increase patient revenues.

Revenue from rental income was $331,001 and $291,583 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $39,418 or 13.5%. The increase is due to the rental being for a full twelve months during the current year and only 10.5 months in the prior year. The rental is also affected by average exchange rates of the Canadian Dollar to the US Dollar. The Canadian Dollar has weakened from $0.7867 during 2017 to 0.7574 during 2018, a decrease of 3.7%.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses was $3,316,833 and $2,382,573 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $934,260 or 39.2%. The increase in operating expenses is attributable to:

The operating loss was $2,884,317 and $1,453,157 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $1,431,159 or 98.5%. The increase is attributable to the decrease in revenue and the increase in rent and other operating expenses discussed above.

Other income

Other income of $6,009 and $475,487 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of $469,478 or 98.7%. Other income in the prior period consisted of the reversal of a provision raised against a receivable on the disposal of the Endoscopy Clinic amounting to $472,368, the receivable was assigned to Leon Developments as part of the purchase consideration paid on the acquisition of CCH.

Other expense

Other expense of $8,000 and $5,093,954 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, a decrease of $5,085,954 or 99.8%. Other expense in the current period represents the settlement of a previous employee claim in the current year. Other expense in the prior year represents; (i) $5,074,689 of the excess of the purchase price paid over the carrying value of the assets of CCH. This expenditure was classified as compensation expense to our CEO who owns 100% of Leon Developments, the counterparty to the purchase of the CCH Subsidiary; (ii) $19,265 represents the loss realized on disposing of a portion of the mortgage owned by the Company in CCH, at a discount to face value.

Interest income 

Interest income of $5,334 and $32,074 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of $26,740 or 83.4%. The interest earned in the prior year consisted of the receivable from the sale of our Endoscopy.

Interest expense

Interest expense of $696,544 and $367,547 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $329,397 or 89.6% was primarily due to; (i) mortgages assumed in the prior year for a period of 10.5 months as opposed to 12 months in the current year, (ii) the increase in convertible note funding during the current year of a net $3,337,889 primarily for working capital purposes and deposits paid on the West Palm Beach real estate. 

Debt discount

Debt discount was $4,504,007 and $668,916 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $3,853,091 or 573.3%. The charge during the current period represents the amortization of the value of the warrants issued over the terms of the convertible loan agreements entered into during 2018 and 2017 and the amortization of the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible notes issued to note holders during 2018 and 2017. The fair value of the warrants and the beneficial conversion features are amortized over a six to twelve month period, the term of the underlying convertible securities.

Derivative liability movement

The derivative liability movement during the current year represents the mark to market movements of variably priced convertible notes and warrants issued during the current and prior years. These securities are marked to market on a quarterly basis and the resultant gain or loss is recorded as a derivative liability movement in the consolidated statement of operations.

Foreign exchange movements

Foreign exchange movements of $428,053 and $(81,031) for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, represents the realized exchange gains and (losses) on monetary assets and liabilities settled during the current year as well as mark to market adjustments on monetary assets and liabilities reflected on the balance sheet and denominated in Canadian Dollars.

Net income from discontinued operations

The net income from discontinued operations of $0 and $6,821,889 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of 100%:

Net loss

Net loss of $(8,178,643) and $(1,368,487) for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $6,810,156 or 497.6%, is primarily due to the increase in operating expenses in the current year, the increase in interest expense and debt discount over the prior year offset by the derivative liability movement and the foreign exchange gain in the current year. The prior year included a gain on discontinued operations of $6,821,899 made up of the profit on sale of the Canadian Rehab clinic of $7,494,828, the reversal of the provision raised against the loan on sale of the Endoscopy clinic of $472,368, offset by the compensation charge of $5,074,689 relating to the acquisition of CCH.

Contingency related to outstanding payroll tax liabilities

The Company has also not filed certain foreign assets forms due to the US Federal Government. A provision of $250,000 was made for any potential penalties due This issue is being addressed by our tax advisors.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash used in operating activities from continuing operations of $1,463,544 and $4,218,271 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively decreased by $2,754,727 or 65.3%. The decrease is primarily due to the following:

Cash used in investing activities from continuing operations of $1,432,110 and $5,145,360 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of $3,713,250 or 72.2%. In the prior year the Company acquired the business of Seastone for $2,960,000 and made deposits on real estate of $1,748,988, in the current year the deposits on real estate was $1,111,993, a decrease in movement over the prior year of $636,995. Capital expenditure was $320,117 in the current year, primarily due to the leasehold improvements to the Delray facility. Capital expenditure in the prior year of $436,372 was predominantly for improvements made to the Muskoka property currently leased to a third party.

Cash generated from investing activities from discontinued operations in the prior year was $6,497,400, this was due to the proceeds realized on the sale of the treatment center in Canada in the prior year.

Cash generated by financing activities was $3,360,764 and $3,299,299, an increase of $61,465 or 1.9%. The Company raised $4,035,000 from convertible notes during the current year to fund operations and the additional deposits made on the real estate. Certain convertible notes amounting to $697,111 were repaid during the current year. In the prior year, the mortgage for our Canadian property was refinanced resulting in a net increase in mortgage funding of $1,342,459, in addition the Company raised an additional $1,897,500 in convertible notes and repaid $388,458 of the existing convertible notes.

Over the next twelve months we estimate that the company will require approximately $2.5 million in working capital as it continues to develop its West Palm Beach facility and it is also exploring several other treatment center options and sources of patients throughout the country. The company may have to raise equity or secure debt. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful with future financing ventures, and the inability to secure such financing may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. In the opinion of management, the Company’s liquidity risk is assessed as medium. The company has recently sold its real property located at 801 Andrews Avenue, the proceeds of $3,500,000 will be utilized to settle the outstanding mortgage liability on the property upon closing with the remaining balance of approximately $500,000 being utilized to settle outstanding liabilities and for working capital purposes.  

Subsequent to December 31, 2018, the Company entered into the following financing transactions:

INDEX TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

(Expressed in US$ unless otherwise indicated)

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Ethema Health Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ethema Health Corporation (the “Company”) at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had accumulated deficit of approximately $30.5 million and negative working capital of approximately $13.2 million at December 31, 2018, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 6. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Basis for Opinion

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

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

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

ETHEMA HEALTH CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

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

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

The Share Purchase Agreement

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

The Asset Purchase Agreement and Lease

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

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

The Florida Purchase

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

ETHEMA HEALTH CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Financial Reporting

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

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

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with USGAAP 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 periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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

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

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.

The relevant translation rates are as follows: For the year ended December 31, 2018 a closing rate of CDN$1.0000 equals US$0.7330 and an average exchange rate of CDN$1.0000 equals US$0.7574. For the year ended December 31, 2017 a closing rate of CAD$1.0000 equals US$0.7971 and an average exchange rate of CAD$1.0000 equals US$0.7867. 

ETHEMA HEALTH CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ASU 2014-09 requires companies to exercise more judgment and recognize revenue using a five-step process. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective method for all contracts effective January 1, 2018 [and is using a portfolio approach to group contracts with similar characteristics and analyze historical cash collections trends]. Modified retrospective adoption requires entities to apply the standard retrospectively to the most current period presented in the financial statements, requiring the cumulative effect of the retrospective application as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of initial application. Prior periods have not been adjusted. No cumulative-effect adjustment in retained earnings was recorded as the adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not significantly impact the Company’s reported historical revenue.

As a result of certain changes required by ASU 2014-09, the majority of the Company’s provision for doubtful accounts are recorded as a direct reduction to revenue instead of being presented as a separate line item on the consolidated statements of operations. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 has no impact on the Company’s accounts receivable as it was historically recorded net of allowance for doubtful accounts and contractual adjustments, and the Company has eliminated the presentation of allowance for doubtful accounts on the consolidated balance sheets.

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

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

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

Settlements under cost reimbursement agreements with third-party payors are estimated and recorded in the period in which the related services are rendered and are adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for any adjustments and final settlements. However, there can be no assurance that any such adjustments and final settlements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. The Company’s cost report receivables were $202,654 and $218,858 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and were included in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Management believes that these receivables are properly stated and are not likely to be settled for a significantly different amount. The net adjustments to estimated cost report settlements resulted in a decrease in revenues of $262,353 and $388,018 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The Company has analyzed its revenue transaction pursuant to ASC 606, Revenue, and it has no material impact as a result of the transition from ASC 605 to 606. The Company’s revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. The Company derives its revenues from the sale of its services, as defined below. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its revenue transactions:

ETHEMA HEALTH CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

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

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

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

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

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

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the straight line basis over the estimated life of the asset:

Leasehold improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over the term of the lease.

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.

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

ASC Topic 740 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The first step is to determine if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained in an audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits within general and administrative expense. To the extent that accrued interest and penalties do not ultimately become payable, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction in general and administrative expenses in the period that such determination is made. The tax returns for fiscal 2001, through 2017 are subject to audit or review by the US tax authorities, whereas fiscal 2010 through 2017 are subject to audit or review by the Canadian tax authority.

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

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

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

Stock based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period or vesting period on a straight-line basis. Share-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. This estimate will be revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We have minimal awards with performance conditions and no awards dependent on market conditions.

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

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

In May 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No.2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). In August 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-14 delaying the effective implementation date of ASU 2014-09 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017.

This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605 - Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective on January 1, 2017 and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized at the date of initial application. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard and it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

The Company adopted ASC 606 and analyzed its revenue transaction pursuant to ASC 606, Revenue, and it has no material impact as a result of the transition from ASC 605 to 606. The Company’s revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. The Company derives its revenues from the sale of its services.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU, No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASC 842)

The amendments in this update establishes a comprehensive new lease accounting model. The new standard: (a) clarifies the definition of a lease; (b) requires a dual approach to lease classification similar to current lease classifications; and (c) causes lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet as a lease liability with a corresponding right-of-use asset for leases with a lease-term of more than twelve months. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted.

A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, including a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, an update which provides another transition method, the prospective transition method, which allows entities to initially apply the new lease standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2019 using the prospective transition method. In preparation for adoption of the standard.

The Company has identified all leases and reviewed the leases to determine the impact of ASC 842 on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has elected to apply all of the practical expedients to its leases, which include not reassessing (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases, and (4) not separating the components of leases into lease and non-lease components. Based on the Company’s assessment, the Company has concluded that the adoption of the new standard will result in the recording of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the consolidated balance sheet on January 1, 2019. While substantially complete, the Company is still in the process of finalizing its evaluation of the effect of ASC 842 on its financial statements and disclosures. The adoption of ASU 2016-02, as amended, is expected to result in the recognition of right of use assets and associated obligations on its consolidated balance sheets.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-2, Income Statement- Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reclassification of certain tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income.

The amendments in this Update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. However, because the amendments only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations is not affected. The amendments in this Update also require certain disclosures about stranded tax effects.

The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The amendments in this Update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized.

The Company early adopted this ASU, which was applied retrospectively to the consolidated financial statements and resulted in a reduction in the tax effect of net operating losses carried forward.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-3 Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments – Overall (Sub topic 825-10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.

The amendment clarifies that an entity measuring an equity security using the measurement alternative may change its measurement approach to a fair value method in accordance with Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, through an irrevocable election that would apply to that security and all identical or similar investments of the same issuer. Once an entity makes this election, the entity should measure all future purchases of identical or similar investments of the same issuer using a fair value method in accordance with Topic 820.

The amendment clarifies that the adjustments made under the measurement alternative are intended to reflect the fair value of the security as of the date that the observable transaction for a similar security took place.

The amendment clarifies that remeasuring the entire value of forward contracts and purchased options is required when observable transactions occur on the underlying equity securities.

The amendment clarifies that when the fair value option is elected for a financial liability, the guidance in paragraph 825-10-45-5 should be applied, regardless of whether the fair value option was elected under either Subtopic 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging—Embedded Derivatives, or 825-10, Financial Instruments—Overall.

The amendments clarify that for financial liabilities for which the fair value option is elected, the amount of change in fair value that relates to the instrument specific credit risk should first be measured in the currency of denomination when presented separately from the total change in fair value of the financial liability. Then, both components of the change in the fair value of the liability should be remeasured into the functional currency of the reporting entity using end-of-period spot rates.

The amendment clarifies that the prospective transition approach for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value in the amendments in Update 2016-01 is meant only for instances in which the measurement alternative is applied. An insurance entity subject to the guidance in Topic 944, Financial Services—Insurance, should apply a prospective transition method for Correction or Improvement Summary of Amendments when applying the amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values. An insurance entity should apply the selected prospective transition method consistently to the entity’s entire population of equity securities for which the measurement alternative is elected.

The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2018. All entities may early adopt these amendments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, as long as they have adopted Update 2016-01.

The amendments in this update are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.

The amendments in this Update expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606.

The impact of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements is not expected to be material. 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.

Removals

The following disclosure requirements were removed from Topic 820:

Modifications

The following disclosure requirements were modified in Topic 820:

Additions

The following disclosure requirements were added to Topic 820:

In addition, the amendments clarify that materiality is an appropriate consideration of entities and their auditors when evaluating disclosure requirements.

The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this Update. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this Update and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date.

The impact of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements is not expected to be material.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

ETHEMA HEALTH CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company is exposed to various risks through its financial instruments. The following analysis provides a measure of the Company’s risk exposure and concentrations at the balance sheet date, December 31, 2018 and 2017.

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

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

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

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 $13,269,867 accumulated deficit of $30,529,044. 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.

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.

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 minimal interest rate risk as there is no overdraft indebtedness as of December 31, 2018. In the opinion of management, interest rate risk is assessed as low, not material and remains unchanged from the prior year.

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is subject to currency risk as it has subsidiaries that operate in Canada and are subject to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar. A substantial portion of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are denominated in Canadian dollars. Based on the net exposures at December 31, 2018, a 5% depreciation or appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar would result in an approximate $23,700 increase or decrease in the Company’s after tax net income from operations. 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.

ETHEMA HEALTH CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

In the prior year, on February 14, 2017, in terms of the details outlined in note 1 above, the Company disposed of the business and certain assets of its Canadian Rehab Clinic for gross proceeds of CDN$10,000,000. A total of CDN$1,500,000 of the gross proceeds was being held in escrow. There is an earnout payment of up to CDN$3,000,000 to be received in 2019, if certain clinic performance metrics are met.

The proceeds realized from the sale of the Canadian Rehab Clinic were used to settle outstanding tax liabilities, refer note 11 below, and to acquire the business of Addiction Recovery Institute of America, LLC (formerly Seastone of Delray) (“ARIA”), refer note 5 below.

The proceeds realized on disposal have been allocated as follows:

In the prior year, on February 14, 2017, the Company acquired 100% of the equity of CCH, from Leon Developments, a company wholly owned by our CEO. The total consideration paid by the Company was CDN$3,517,062, including the assumption of certain liabilities of CCH, which was funded by the assignment to Leon Developments of certain indebtedness owing to the Company in the amount of CDN$659, 918 (US$504,442) on the disposal of a subsidiary, 1816191 Ontario, which principal amount had previously been fully provided for during 2015; and the issuance of 60,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at US$0.0364 per share for proceeds of $2,184,000.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations in the normal course of business. As at December 31, 2018 the Company has a working capital deficiency of $(13,269,867) and accumulated deficit of $(30,529,044). Management believes that current available resources will not be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned expenditures over the next 12 months. Accordingly, the Company will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of common shares, and/or debt financing in order to implement its business plan, and generating sufficient revenue in excess of costs. If the Company raises additional capital through the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity, stockholders will experience dilution, and such securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of common stock or convertible senior notes. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing debt, the Company may be subject to limitations on its operations, through debt covenants or other restrictions. If the Company obtains additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or strategic partners, the Company may be required to relinquish its rights to certain geographical areas, or techniques that it might otherwise seek to retain. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful with future financing ventures, and the inability to secure such financing may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company generating cash from the sale of its common stock or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations. Management’s plans include selling its equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund its capital requirement and ongoing operations; however, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts.

These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded assets and liabilities or other adjustments that may be necessary should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern.

The Statement of operations for discontinued operations is as follows:
