Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization and Line of Business
Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. (formerly Turbine Truck Engines, Inc.) (the “Company” or “NVOS”) 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. Novo Healthnet Limited, an Ontario, Canada company (“NHL”), became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company on May 9, 2017. NHL was incorporated on September 5, 2013. Since inception, NHL has acquired and now owns a 100% interest in Novo Assessments, Inc., Novo Healthnet Rehab Limited, Novo Peak Health, Inc. and an 80% interest in Novo Healthnet Kemptville Centre, Inc. (collectively with the Company and NHL, the “Novo Family”), all of which are Ontario province, Canada corporations.
On April 25, 2017, NVOS entered into a share exchange agreement with NHL and the NHL shareholders pursuant to which NVOS issued to the NHL shareholders 167,797,406 restricted shares of NVOS common stock, representing 85% of the issued and outstanding NVOS common stock, in exchange for all issued and outstanding shares of both common and preferred stock of NHL, calculated including all granted and issued options or warrants to acquire NVOS common stock as of the effective date of the share exchange agreement, but to exclude shares of NVOS common stock that are subject to a then-current Regulation S offering that was being undertaken by NVOS (the “Exchange”). As a result of this transaction, NHL is a wholly owned Canadian subsidiary of NVOS.
The Exchange was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting since NHL obtained control of NVOS. 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 date of this transaction, the net assets of the legal acquirer, NVOS, were $6,904. The combined entities are hereafter referred to as the “Company.”
Effective with the closing of the Exchange, the Company has shifted its business operations and mission statement away from developing environmental conservation innovations for the alternative energy sector and instead now focuses its resources and business operations on the implementation and expansion of the Novo Family’s growth model of integrating healthcare, technology and medical science.
The Novo Family provides specialized physiotherapy, chiropractic care, occupational therapy, eldercare, laser therapeutics, massage therapy, acupuncture, chiropodist, neurological functions, kinesiology, certain dental assessments and long-term care services to its clients. The Novo Family’s services include pain assessment, treatment, management and prevention, and are provided in 14 corporate owned clinics, homes and institutional locations throughout Canada. In addition, NHL has contracted with over 300 healthcare providers throughout Canada to provide these services to their clients, consistent with NHL’s high-quality standards. Directly and indirectly through its contractual relationships, NHL provides its specialized services to over 300,000 patients annually. No employee of the Novo Family practices medicine and the Novo Family’s services do not require a medical or nursing license.
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 (“US GAAP”) were omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results of operations for the nine months ended May 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending August 31, 2017.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with US 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:
May 31, 2017 | May 31, 2016 | August 31, 2016 | ||||||||||
Period end: CAD to USD exchange rate | $ | 0.7405 | $ | 0.7535 | $ | 0.7620 | ||||||
Average period: CAD to USD exchange rate | $ | 0.7509 | $ | 0.7488 |
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has sustained net losses for the nine months ended May 31, 2017 and for the years ended August 31, 2016 and 2015. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and its ability to obtain additional capital financing from investors. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company has raised equity capital to fund expenditures until the Company’s operations can generate sufficient cash flows to sustain operations. No assurance can be made that these efforts of raising equity capital will be successful and sustain the Company until it can generate positive cash flows from operations.
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., APKA Health, Inc. and its 80% owned subsidiary, Novo Healthnet Kemptville Centre Inc. All of the Company’s subsidiaries are incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada.
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 May 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016, the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable was $519,921 and $508,161, respectively.
Furniture and Equipment
Furniture 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 double-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 May 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016, the Company believes there was no impairment of its long-lived assets.
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 us 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 May 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016, 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. There were 6,860,000 options/warrants outstanding as of May 31, 2017.
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 6,860,000 options/warrants outstanding as of May 31, 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
US 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 $1,559,130 and $1,277,449 at May 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016, 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 March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09, which amends several aspects of accounting for employee share-based payment transactions including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, and classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its financial statements.
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 August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. ASU 2014-15 requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-15 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

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.

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 $0.79 and the weighted-average exercise price of such options/warrants was $0.80. 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.
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 $197,916 during the nine months ended August 31, 2017. At August 31, 2017, the unamortized stock option expense was $0.
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 – Acquisition of Assets

Note 10 – 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 August 31, 2016, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity of the Company.

Overview of the Company
Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. (“NVOS” or the “Company”) 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. The Company’s corporate headquarters are located in Bellevue, Washington. Novo Healthnet Limited, an Ontario, Canada company (“NHL”), became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company on May 9, 2017. NHL was incorporated on September 5, 2013. Since inception, NHL has acquired and now owns a 100% interest in Novo Assessments, Inc., Novo Healthnet Rehab Limited, Novo Peak Health, Inc. and an 80% interest in Novo Healthnet Kemptville Centre, Inc. (collectively with the Company and NHL, the “Novo Family”), all of which are Ontario province, Canada corporations.
Since inception and through May 9, 2017, the Company’s activities and business operations were limited to raising capital, organizational matters and the implementation of its business plan related to research, development, testing and commercialization of various alternative energy technologies.
On April 25, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “SEA”) 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”). Each of NHL and the NHL Shareholders may be referred to collectively herein as the “NHL Parties” and separately as an “NHL Party.” Each of the Company and each NHL Party may be referred to herein collectively as the “Parties” and separately as a “Party.” Pursuant to the terms of the SEA, 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 (the “Exchange”), 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 Parties agreed to amend the Agreement effective May 3, 2017, pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”). On May 9, 2017, the Exchange closed and NHL became a wholly owned Canadian subsidiary of the Company.
18 |
Effective with the closing of the Exchange, the Company has shifted its business operations and mission statement away from developing environmental conservation innovations for the alternative energy sector and instead now focuses its resources and business operations on the implementation and expansion of the Novo Family’s growth model of integrating healthcare, technology and medical science.
The Novo Family provides specialized physiotherapy, chiropractic care, occupational therapy, eldercare, laser therapeutics, massage therapy, acupuncture, chiropodist, neurological functions, kinesiology, certain dental assessments and long-term care services to its clients. The Novo Family’s services include pain assessment, treatment, management and prevention, and are provided in 14 corporate owned clinics, homes and institutional locations throughout Canada. In addition, NHL has contracted with over 300 healthcare providers throughout Canada to provide these services to their clients, consistent with NHL’s high quality standards. Directly and indirectly through its contractual relationships, NHL provides its specialized services to over 300,000 patients annually. No employee of the Novo Family practices medicine and the Novo Family’s services do not require a medical or nursing license.
NHL also recently launched an operational pilot program for its virtual physician access system, sometimes referred to in the industry as “telemedicine” or “virtual medicine.” NHL’s telemedicine system provides patients with real-time access to third-party primary care doctors and specialists in most medical disciplines. Telemedicine is transforming primary healthcare by providing ease of access and reduced costs for patients, particularly in areas with limited access to primary care general practitioners and specialists. Unlike other telemedicine platforms in today’s marketplace, NHL’s unique advanced telemedicine platform integrates certain medical devices, such as a blood pressure reading device, a dermascope and an ophthalmoscope otoscope, each of which can provide the doctor with real-time diagnostic data, greatly enhancing the doctor’s ability to provide the patient an accurate diagnosis. NHL’s telemedicine platform is designed with a relatively low cost structure, which can allow any medical clinic or location affordably to install and utilize NHL’s telemedicine platform.
The Novo Family’s strict adherence to public regulatory standards, as well as self-imposed standards of excellence, have allowed the Novo Family to navigate with ease through the industry’s licensing and regulatory framework. Compliant treatment, data and administrative protocols are managed through a team of highly-trained, certified healthcare and administrative professionals. NHL and its subsidiaries are regulated under the Financial Services Commission of Ontario (“FSCO”). In 2013, NHL received its accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (“CARF”). Currently, NHL is undergoing the CARF re-accreditation process.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, for the nine months ended May 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company has had net losses of $457,745 and $263,918, respectively. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and its ability to obtain additional capital financing from investors. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company has raised equity capital to fund expenditures until the Company’s operations can generate sufficient cash flows to sustain operations. No assurance can be made that these efforts of raising equity capital will be successful and sustain the Company until it can generate positive cash flows from operations.
During the nine months ended May 31, 2017, the Company used cash in operating activities of $364,671 compared to generating cash from operations of $252,499 for the same period in 2016. The principal reason for the decrease is the additional net loss incurred during the nine months ended May 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 and the increase in accounts receivable for the nine months ended May 31, 2017 compared to a decrease in accounts receivable for the same period in 2016.
During the nine months ended May 31, 2017 the Company used cash in investing activities of $391,822 compared to $439,974 for the same period in 2016. The principal reason for the increase is the decrease in the amounts loaned for other receivables.

During the nine months ended May 31, 2017 the Company generated cash from financing activities of $2,230,391 compared to $424,714 for the same period in 2016. The principal reason for the decrease is the sale of common stock during the nine months ended May 31, 2017 as discussed below.
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.
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 requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
We believe that the following critical policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Noncontrolling Interest
The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation, which governs the accounting for and reporting of non-controlling interests (“NCIs”) in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Certain provisions of this standard indicate, among other things, that NCIs be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability, that increases and decreases in the parent’s ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions rather than as step acquisitions or dilution gains or losses, and that losses of a partially owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to the NCI even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance.
The net income (loss) attributed to the NCI is separately designated in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss).
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.
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. There were 6,860,000 options/warrants outstanding as of May 31, 2017.
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 6,860,000 options/warrants outstanding as of May 31, 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
US 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 $1,559,130 and $1,277,449 at May 31, 2017 and August 31, 2016, respectively, are classified as an item of other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet.
New 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 March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09, which amends several aspects of accounting for employee share-based payment transactions including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, and classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its financial statements.
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 August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. ASU 2014-15 requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-15 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
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.
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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of May 31, 2017. Based upon such evaluation, the Company’s President and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of May 31, 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 CPA to perform the duties of the Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer and an outside consultant to assist with the preparation of the filings. However, until the Company has received additional funding, it is unable to remediate the weakness.
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 May 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
For the quarter ended May 31, 2017, 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 (“Mr. 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 Prosecutor that it had declined to prosecute Mr. Chen and Mr. Huang for criminal fraud.
On January 4, 2016, the Company, filed an appeal to the Taiwan High Prosecution Office requesting the High Court review the facts and evidence of the case and send the matter back to the Prosecutor for a new investigation of the facts and evidence.
On February 1, 2016, the Company received notice that the Company’s appeal was granted and the case was returned to the 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, the Company received notice from the Prosecutor that Mr. Chen was indicted and charged with criminal fraud and that Mr. Huang will not be indicted with any charges on the grounds that Mr. Huang was not directly involved in any commercial activities with the Company.
24 |
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. If mediation is not successful, then the Taiwan courts will proceed with adjudicating the criminal fraud case against Mr. Chen. The first mediation hearing is scheduled for August 1, 2017. If the mediation hearing is not successful in obtaining a settlement agreement satisfactory to both parties, then the first hearing for the criminal fraud charges is scheduled to occur immediately afterward.
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
