NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three Months Ended November 30, 2017 and 2016 (unaudited)

Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization and Line of Business

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

We provide specialized physiotherapy, chiropractic care, occupational therapy, eldercare, laser therapeutics, massage therapy, acupuncture, chiropodist, neurological functions, kinesiology and dental services to our clients. Our multi-disciplinary primary healthcare services and protocols are directed at assessment, treatment, management, rehabilitation and prevention through our 14 corporate owned clinics, 150 affiliate clinics, retirement homes, long-term care facilities and institutional locations throughout Canada. Directly and indirectly through our contractual relationships, we provide our specialized services to over 300,000 patients annually. No employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries practices primary care medicine and the Company’s services do not require a medical or nursing license.

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

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

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

On May 9, 2017, our Board of Directors determined, in connection with the closing of the Exchange, to change our fiscal year end from December 31 to August 31, but did not memorialize such determination in writing. On July 17, 2017, the Board ratified and memorialized in writing its May 9, 2017 determination regarding the change in fiscal year end.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, the results of its operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) were omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results of operations for the three months ended November 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending August 31, 2018.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The Company’s Canadian subsidiaries’ functional currency is the Canadian Dollar (“CAD”); however, the accompanying consolidated financial statements were translated and presented in United States Dollars (“$” or “USD”).

Foreign Currency Translation

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

	November 30, 2017		November 30, 2016		August 31, 2017

Period end: CAD to USD exchange rate	$	0.7761	$	0.7447	$	0.7988
Average period: CAD to USD exchange rate	$	0.7973	$	0.7537

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

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

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, NHL, Novo Peak Health Inc., Novo Healthnet Rehab Limited, Novo Assessments Inc., an 80% interest in Novo Healthnet Kemptville Centre, Inc., a Back on Track Physiotherapy and Health Centre clinic operated by NHL, and a fifty percent stake in a joint venture with the Sophie Freeman Dental Hygiene Professional Corporation operated as Novo Dental. All of the Company’s subsidiaries are incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Noncontrolling Interest

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

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

Cash Equivalents

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

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentration, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Delinquent account balances are written-off after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable and known bad debts are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when identified. As of November 30, 2017 and August 31, 2017, the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable was $474,376 and $507,636, respectively.

Property and Equipment

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

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

Long-Lived Assets

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review at November 30, 2017 and August 31, 2017, the Company believes there was no impairment of its long-lived assets.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the underlying net assets of businesses acquired. Under accounting requirements, goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment tests. The Company recorded goodwill of $388,050 at November 30, 2017 related to its acquisition of Apka Health, Inc. during fiscal year ended August 31, 2017. As of August 31, 2017, the Company performed the required impairment review. Based on its review at August 31, 2017, the Company believes there was no impairment of its goodwill.

Acquisition Deposits

The Company has signed letters of understanding with two potential acquisition candidates which includes refundable acquisition deposits totaling $1,128,987 at November 30, 2017.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, advances to suppliers, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.

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

	●	Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

	●	Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

	●	Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology use one or more unobservable inputs which are significant to the fair value measurement.

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

As of November 30, 2017 and August 31, 2017, respectively, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue related to healthcare services provided is recognized at the time services have been performed. Gross service revenue is recorded in the accounting records on an accrual basis at the provider’s established rates, regardless of whether the health care entity expects to collect that amount. The Company will reserve a provision for contractual adjustment and discounts and deduct from gross service revenue. The Company believes that recognizing revenue at the time the services have been performed is appropriate because the Company’s revenue policies meet the following four criteria in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition: (i) persuasive evidence that arrangement exists, (ii) services has occurred, (iii) the price is fixed and determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company reports revenues net of any sales, use and value added taxes.

Income Taxes

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

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

Stock-Based Compensation

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

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is based on the assumption that all dilutive securities are converted. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. There were 7,980,000 options/warrants outstanding as of November 30, 2017. Due to the net loss incurred potentially dilutive instruments would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss for all periods presented.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Comprehensive Income

U.S. GAAP generally requires recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Certain statements, however, require entities to report specific changes in assets and liabilities, such as gain or loss on foreign currency translation, as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries is the Canadian $. Translation gains of $1,365,031 and $1,240,844 at November 30, 2017 and August 31, 2017, respectively, are classified as an item of other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet.

Statement of Cash Flows

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments in this update clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which requires restricted cash to be presented with cash and cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows and disclosure of how the statement of cash flows reconciles to the balance sheet if restricted cash is shown separately from cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-18 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfer of Assets Other than Inventory, which requires the recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. ASU 2016-16 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 provides guidance for targeted changes with respect to how cash receipts and cash payments are classified in the statements of cash flows, with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. ASU 2016-15 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its statements of cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requires expanded disclosures about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its financial statements.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Entities will be able to transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

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

On September 30, 2013, the Company issued five debentures totaling $4,968,990 (CAD$6,402,512) at November 30, 2017 in connection with the acquisition of certain business assets. The holders of the debentures are current stockholders, officers and/or affiliates of the Company. The debentures are secured by all the assets of the Company, accrue interest at 8% per annum and were originally due on September 30, 2016. On December 2, 2017, the debenture holders agreed to extend the due date to September 30, 2019. On December 5, 2017, the debenture holders and the Company signed a binding Letter of Intent to convert no less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the debenture value plus any interest or fees owed to the Company’s common stock. The per share price to be used for the conversion of each debenture will be the average price of the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion with a ten (10) percent premium added to the calculated per share price.

Note 8 – Stockholders’ Deficit

Convertible preferred stock

The Company has authorized 1,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value convertible preferred stock. At November 30, 2017 and August 31, 2017 there were 0 and 0 convertible preferred shares issued and outstanding, respectively.

Common stock

The Company has authorized 499,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock. At November 30, 2017 and August 31, 2017 there were 201,837,254 and 201,837,254 common shares issued and outstanding, respectively.

Stock options/warrants

On September 8, 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2015 Plan”), which authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock to employees, officers, directors or independent consultants of the Company, provided that no person can be granted shares under the 2015 Plan for services related to raising capital or promotional activities. During 2017 and 2016, the Company did not grant any awards under the 2015 Plan. As of August 31, 2017, 4,987,500 shares were available under the 2015 Plan for future grants, awards, options or share issuances. However, because the shares issuable under the 2015 Plan or issuable upon conversion of awards granted under the Plan are no longer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company does not intend to issue any additional grants under the 2015 Plan.

The following is a summary of stock option/warrant activity:

					Weighted

	7,980,000				6,920,000

For options granted during fiscal year 2017 where the exercise price equaled the stock price at the date of the grant, the weighted-average fair value of such options was $0.58 and the weighted-average exercise price of such options/warrants was $0.42. No options were granted during fiscal 2017 where the exercise price was less than the stock price at the date of grant or the exercise price was greater than the stock price at the date of grant.

For options granted during fiscal year 2018 where the exercise price equaled the stock price at the date of the grant, the weighted-average fair value of such options was $0.39 and the weighted-average exercise price of such options/warrants was $0.40. No options were granted during fiscal 2018 where the exercise price was less than the stock price at the date of grant or the exercise price was greater than the stock price at the date of grant.

The fair value of the stock options is being amortized to stock option expense over the vesting period. The Company recorded stock option expense of $142,665 during the three months ended November 30, 2017. At November 30, 2017, the unamortized stock option expense was $286,413.

The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes option- pricing model for options granted are as follows:

Risk-free interest rate	1.5	%
Expected life of the options	2.5 years
Expected volatility	323	%
Expected dividend yield	0	%

Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is party to certain legal proceedings from time to time incidental to the conduct of its business. These proceedings could result in fines, penalties, compensatory or treble damages or non-monetary relief. The nature of legal proceedings is such that the Company cannot assure the outcome of any particular matter, and an unfavorable ruling or development could have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in the period in which a ruling or settlement occurs. However, based on information available to the Company’s management to date, the Company’s management does not expect that the outcome of any matter pending against the Company is likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position as of November 30, 2017, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity of the Company.

Leases

The Company leases its office space and certain facilities under long-term operating leases expiring through fiscal year 2023. Rent expense under these leases was $191,940 and $193,501 for the three months ended November 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Note 10 – Subsequent Events

On December 1, 2017, the Company and Executive Fitness Leaders, located in Ottawa Ontario Canada, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Executive Fitness Leaders in exchange for the issuance, by the Company, of 384,110 restricted shares of its common stock valued at approximately $233,155. The transaction closed on December 1, 2017. The purchase of these assets was not considered significant for accounting purposes; therefore, pro forma financial statements are not presented.

On December 2, 2017, the Company and certain related party debenture holders of five debentures totaling $4,968,990 (CAD$6,402,512) dated September 30, 2013 with an original due date of September 30, 2016 (see Note 7 for further details) agreed to extend the due date of the debentures to September 30, 2019.

On December 5, 2017, the related party debenture holders and the Company signed a binding Letter of Intent to convert no less than 75% of the debenture value, plus any interest or fees owed, to the Company’s common stock. The per share price to be used for the conversion of each debenture will be the average price of the five trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion with a 10% premium added to the calculated per share price.

On December 26, 2017, the Company entered into a binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) with Brands International Corporation (“Brands”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire 60% of the issued and outstanding shares of Brands in exchange for the arrangement of secured debt financing in the amount of CAD$2,350,000 (approximately $1,873,256 per the Bank of Canada posted exchange rate of 0.7977 on December 29, 2017) arranged or provided by the Company (the “Acquisition”). Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Company will own 60% of Brands’ issued and outstanding shares and Brands will be a partially-owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company will enter into a shareholder agreement with Mark Rubinoff and a management agreement with Mark Rubinoff and DJ Robinoff. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the LOI, the Company agreed to provide Mark Rubinoff with a buyout structure for the remaining 40% of Brands’ shares with a trigger date of 24 months from the closing of the Acquisition.

The parties to the LOI agreed to proceed reasonably and in good faith toward negotiation and execution of a definitive acquisition agreement (a “Definitive Agreement”), and to use their commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain necessary board, stockholder and regulatory approvals and third party consents.

The parties to the LOI also agreed that from the date of the LOI until the earlier of January 30, 2018 (the “Termination Date”) and the date the parties enter into a Definitive Agreement, the parties and their respective directors, officers, agents and representatives will not:

	●	solicit, initiate or encourage the initiation of any expression of interest, inquiries or proposals regarding, constituting or that may reasonably be expected to lead to any merger, amalgamation, takeover bid, tender offer, arrangement, recapitalization, liquidations, dissolution, share exchange, sale of material assets involving the parties or a proposal or offer to do so (the “Acquisition Proposal”) (including without limitation, any grant of an option or other right to take any such action);

	●	participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding an Acquisition Proposal;

	●	accept or enter into, or propose publicly to accept or enter into, any agreement, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or any arrangement in respect of an Acquisition Proposal; and

	●	otherwise cooperate in any way, assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort or attempt by any person to do any of the foregoing.

In addition, Brands agreed not to solicit funds in any secured or unsecured debt form resulting in a change in the company’s financials unless the Company is made aware of such solicitation in writing.

If the Definitive Agreement is not negotiated and executed by both parties on or before the Termination Date, or such other date as agreed to by the parties in writing, the terms of the LOI will be of no further force or effect except for the confidentiality, costs and governing laws provisions, which sections will remain in effect for a period of one year following the date on which the LOI is terminated.

On December 29, 2017, the Company entered into an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with Christopher David, the Company’s President and a member of the board of directors, effective January 1, 2018. The Employment Agreement terminates on July 30, 2018, subject to the termination provisions contained in the Employment Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, Mr. David agreed to serve as the Company’s President. In consideration thereof, the Company agreed to (i) pay Mr. David a monthly salary of $8,000, and (ii) grant Mr. David a 5-year option (the “Option”) to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock at an exercise price of $0.42 per share. The Option vested on December 29, 2017.

Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, the Company may terminate Mr. David at any time, with or without Cause (as defined below); provided, however, that if the Company terminates Mr. David without Cause:

(a) The Option shall be deemed fully vested effective as of December 29, 2017, and is not subject to revocation or return, and

(b) The Company will continue to owe Mr. David his monthly salary through July 30, 2018.

“Cause” means Mr. David must have (i) been willful, gross or persistent in his inattention to his duties or he committed acts which constitute willful or gross misconduct and, after written notice of the same, has been given the opportunity to cure the same within 30 days after such notice, and (ii) been found guilty of having committed a fraud against the Company.

On December 29, 2017, the Company granted the Option to Mr. David pursuant to that certain Option to Purchase Common Stock (the “Option Agreement”). The Option Agreement provides for the cashless exercise of all or a portion of the Option, or exercise through payment of the exercise price in cash.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. The Company and its representatives may from time to time make written or oral statements that are “forward-looking,” including statements contained in this report and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in our reports and presentations to stockholders or potential stockholders. In some cases forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “potential,” “continue” or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements include risks and uncertainties and there are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors, risks and uncertainties can be found in the Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2017.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it is not possible to foresee or identify all factors that could have a material effect on the future financial performance of the Company. The forward-looking statements in this report are made on the basis of management’s assumptions and analyses, as of the time the statements are made, in light of their experience and perception of historical conditions, expected future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate under the circumstances.

Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the information incorporated by reference in this report to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based.

David Employment Agreement & Option Grant

(a) The Option shall be deemed fully vested effective as of December 29, 2017, and is not subject to revocation or return, and

(b) The Company will continue to owe Mr. David his monthly salary through July 30, 2018.

For the three months ended November 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2016

Revenues for the three months ended November 30, 2017 were $2,253,737, representing an increase of $435,598, or 24.0%, from $1,818,139 for the same period in 2016. The increase in revenue is principally due to the Company’s entry into new occupational therapy service contracts in January 2017 and the acquisition of Apka Health, Inc. in April 2017.

Cost of revenues for the three months ended November 30, 2017 were $1,407,693, representing an increase of $243,580, or 20.9%, from $1,164,113 for the same period in 2016. The increase in cost of revenues is principally due to the increase in revenues. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue was 62.5% for the three months ended November 30, 2017 and 64.0% for same period in 2016. The decrease in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue is principally due to slightly lower costs.

Operating costs for the three months ended November 30, 2017 were $1,018,414, representing an increase of $427,249, or 72.3%, from $591,165 for the same period in 2016. The increase in operating costs is attributed to stock-based compensation of $142,665 for the three months ended November 30, 2017 (there was no stock-based compensation for the same period in 2016), as well as an increase in both operating payroll expenses and professional fees.

Interest expense for the three months ended November 30, 2017 was $134,153, representing an increase of $17,065, or 14.6%, from $117,088 for the same period in 2016. The increase is due to interest during the three months ended November 30, 2017 related to payroll withholdings originating in fiscal years 2014 and 2015.

Net loss for the three months ended November 30, 2017 was $360,688, representing an increase of $317,439, or 734.0%, from $43,249 for the same period in 2016. The increase in net loss is due to the reasons described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, for the three months ended November 30, 2017, the Company had a net loss of $360,688.

During the three months ended November 30, 2017, the Company used cash in operating activities of $351,815 compared to generating cash from operations of $34,453 for the same period in 2016. The principal reason for the decrease is the additional net loss incurred during the three months ended November 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 and a larger increase in accounts receivable during the three months ended November 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016.

During the three months ended November 30, 2017, the Company used cash in investing activities of $23,593 compared to cash provided by investing activities of $362,701 for the same period in 2016. The principal reason for the change is the repayment of other receivables during the three months ended November 30, 2016.

During the three months ended November 30, 2017, the Company used cash of $183,925 from financing activities compared to $202,485 for the same period in 2016. The principal reason for the decrease is due to repayments of amounts due to related parties.

On March 8, 2017, the Company sold 33,333 restricted shares of common stock to 2367416 Ontario, Inc. The shares were sold at a price of $0.45 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000. This sale of 33,333 restricted shares occurred prior to the share exchange as described above. The $15,000 was provided to fund the Company’s ongoing operational and product development expenses. At the time of the sale, Enzo Cirillo was the Company’s Interim CEO, Chairman of the Board and a greater than 10% shareholder of the Company’s common stock, as well as the principal partner of 2367416 Ontario, Inc. Effective May 9, 2017, Mr. Cirillo resigned as an officer and director of the Company. Additionally, with the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement between the Company and Novo Healthnet Limited, Mr. Cirillo is no longer a greater than 10% shareholder of the Company’s common stock.

On May 19, 2017, the Company sold 8,368,500 restricted shares of common stock to an aggregate of 23 accredited investors. The shares were sold at a price of $0.30 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,510,550. The $2,510,550 was provided to fund the Company’s ongoing operational and product development expenses. The shares were issued in reliance upon the exemptions provided by Regulation S promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The issuances involved offers and sales of securities outside the United States. The offers and sales were made in offshore transactions and no directed selling efforts were made by the issuer, a distributor, their affiliates or any persons acting on their behalf.

On June 20, 2017, the Company sold 2,140,839 restricted shares of common stock to an aggregate of 12 accredited investors. The shares were sold at a price of $0.30 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $642,250. The $642,250 was provided to fund the Company’s ongoing operational and product development expenses. The shares were issued in reliance upon the exemptions provided by Regulation S promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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

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

Use of Estimates

Noncontrolling Interest

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

Revenue Recognition

Stock-Based Compensation

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Foreign Currency Transactions and Comprehensive Income

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

New Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, the AICPA and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s President and Principal Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of November 30, 2017. Based upon such evaluation, the Company’s President and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of November 30, 2017, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were determined to be ineffective due to the lack of segregation of duties. Currently, management contracts with an outside certified public accountant to assist the Company with preparation of its filings required pursuant to the Exchange Act.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 of the Exchange Act that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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

The Company is currently involved in litigation in Taiwan, wherein the Company engaged Formosan Brothers, a Taiwan-based law firm, to file a criminal complaint with the Taipei, Taiwan District Prosecutors Office (the “Prosecutor”) seeking criminal charges against the principal partners of ETS, Mr. Chen, Chong-Ping (“Alan Chen”) and Huang, Ren-Ju (“Mr. Huang”) for fraud in connection with their actions related to the Company’s business initiative to commercialize the HPBS technology in Asia.

On December 25, 2015, the Company received a written ruling from the Taiwan District Prosecutor’s Office that it had declined to prosecute Alan Chen and Mr. Huang for criminal fraud.

On January 4, 2016, the Company filed an appeal to the Taiwan High Prosecution Office. On February 1, 2016, the Company’s appeal was granted and the case was returned to the Taiwan District Court Prosecutor with instructions to conduct a new investigation of the facts and evidence. The Company intends to continue to pursue this matter until a final resolution is obtained.

On June 12, 2017, Mr. Chen was indicted and charged with criminal fraud and the Company was informed that Mr. Huang will not be indicted.

On the recommendation of both the Company’s Taiwan attorneys and the judge overseeing the criminal fraud case against Mr. Chen, the Company filed an ancillary civil action against Mr. Chen allowing the judge overseeing the criminal fraud case to initiate a mediation proceeding between the Company and Mr. Chen for a potential financial settlement. Mr. Chen did not appear for an August 1, 2017 mediation hearing but did appear for the subsequent criminal hearing. The defendant pleaded not guilty and the judge notified both parties the case will proceed to trial.

In late August 2017, the Company filed a Confiscation Application with the Taiwan Taipei District Court requesting the prosecutor’s office search for and confiscate any assets the prosecutor can locate in the name of Alan Chen as security for the compensation to the Company pending the criminal trial’s outcome. As of the date of this filing, the Company is awaiting the results of this Confiscation Application.

On November 23, 2017, Mr. Chen and the Company’s legal team appeared for a hearing to determine accepted facts and any additional evidence. The parties are waiting for the next court date to be scheduled.
