NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022

Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business

PreAxia Health Care Payment Systems Inc. (the “Company” or “PreAxia”) was incorporated on April 3, 2000 in the State of Nevada. On May 31, 2005, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Tiempo de Mexico Ltd. (“Tiempo”) in exchange for 5,000,000 shares of the common stock of the Company with a par value of $0.001. The Company had no operations prior to the date of the aforementioned acquisition.

The business objective of the Company is the development, distribution, marketing and sale of health care payment processing services and products. The Company has realized only nominal revenues from its planned operations. 

The operations of the Company are expected to be primarily undertaken by its wholly-owned subsidiary, PreAxia Health Care Payment Ltd. (“PreAxia Payment”), incorporated pursuant to the laws of the Province of Alberta on November 26, 2015.

PreAxia Payment is in the process of developing an online access system creating a health spending account that will facilitate card payment and processing services to third-party administrators, insurance companies and others.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year. The balance sheet information as of May 31, 2023 was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company's financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 30, 2023. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (i) PreAxia Health Care Payment Systems Inc., incorporated pursuant to the laws of the Province of Alberta on January 28, 2008 (ii) PreAxia Canada Inc., incorporated pursuant to the laws of the Province of Alberta on January 28, 2008 and (iii) PreAxia Health Care Payment Ltd., incorporated pursuant to the laws of the Province of Alberta on November 26, 2015 (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”). All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the three months ended August 31, 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $40,919 and used cash in operating activities of $13,599, and as of August 31, 2023, had a stockholders’ deficit of $2,337,649. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to develop additional sources of capital and to ultimately achieve profitable operations. Currently, the Company does not have significant cash or other material assets, nor does it have operations or a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company’s officers or principal shareholders are committed to making advances or loans to pay for certain legal, accounting, and administrative costs.

The Company hopes to be able to attract suitable investors for our business plan, which will not require us to use our cash. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in this situation. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity financing.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions that our company may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company is the United States dollar. The functional currency of the Subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. Assets and liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are translated into United States dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and capital accounts are translated at historical rates. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) account in stockholders’ deficit.

Transactions undertaken in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity are translated using the exchange rate in effect as of the transaction date. Any transaction exchange gains and losses are included in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company's reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. All transactions initiated in Canadian Dollars are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 830-30, "Translation of Financial Statements," as follows:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Management uses a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

The fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of August 31, 2023 and May 31, 2023. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company has 10,587,600 shares of potential common stock equivalents for convertible note payable – related party outstanding during the periods ended August 31, 2023 and May 31, 2023, which have been excluded from the loss per share computation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive due to net losses.

Research and Development Costs

The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred in accordance with FASB ASC 730 “Research and Development.” During the three months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022, we incurred $1,520 and $3,271, respectively, in research and development expenses.

Software Development Costs

The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with several accounting pronouncements, including FASB ASC 730, “Research and Development,” FASB ASC 350-40, “Internal-Use Software,” FASB 985-20, “Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed” and FASB ASC 350-50, “Website Development Costs.”

Costs incurred during the period of planning and design, prior to the period determining technological feasibility, for all software developed for use internal and external, has been charged to operations in the period incurred as research and development costs.  Additionally, costs incurred after determination of readiness for market have been expensed as research and development.

The Company will capitalize certain costs in the development of our proprietary software (computer software to be sold, leased or licensed) for the period after technological feasibility was determined and prior to our marketing and initial sales.

Website development costs are capitalized under the same criteria as our marketed software.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset.  The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required.  If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset.  When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets.  We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies.  Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. ASC 606 requires us to apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, we satisfy the performance obligation.

Gross Versus Net Revenue

ASC 606 provides guidance on proper recognition of principal versus agent considerations which is used to determine gross versus net revenue recognition. Under ASC 606, the core objective of the guidance on gross versus net revenue recognition is to help determine whether an entity is a principal or an agent in a transaction. In general, the primary difference between these two is the performance obligation being satisfied. The principal has a performance obligation to provide the desired goods or services to the end customer, whereas the agent arranges for the principal to provide the desired goods or services. Additionally, a fundamental characteristic of a principal in a transaction is control. A principal substantively controls the goods and services before they are transferred to the customer as well as controlling the price of the good or service being provided. An agent normally receives a commission or fee for these activities. In addition to control, the level at which an entity controls the price of the good or service being transferred determines principal versus agent status. The more discretion over setting price a company has in providing the good or service, the more likely they are considered a principal rather than an agent. Under the guidance when another party is involved in providing a good or service to a customer, an entity is a principal if the entity obtains control of the asset or right to a service performed by the other party.

The Company provides administrative services for Health Spending Accounts sponsored by employers (the “customer”). The Company does not take possession of goods or control the services provided as the employees of the customer are free to determine their health care provider. As such, the Company records revenue net of reimbursements to employees. The Company’s services to the customer consist of reviewing medical costs for eligibility and reimbursing employees for eligible costs.

During the three months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had revenue of $0 and $0, respectively. The Company earns a 10% commission on amounts reimbursed for eligible expenses.

Income Taxes

The Company follows Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the fiscal year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the fiscal years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company follows section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”) with regards to uncertain income tax positions.  Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.  

Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued or updated. No new standards or updates had any material effect on these consolidated financial statements. The accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to the date of these consolidated financial statements that were considered significant by management were evaluated for the potential effect on these consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe any of the subsequent pronouncements will have a material effect on these consolidated financial statements as presented.

All amounts stated herein are in US dollars unless otherwise indicated.

The management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2023, together with notes thereto.  As used in this quarterly report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “PreAxia” and the “Company” means PreAxia Health Care Payment Systems Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

General Overview

Corporate Overview

PreAxia Health Care Payment Systems Inc. (the “Company” or “PreAxia”) was incorporated on April 3, 2000 in the State of Nevada.

The Company primarily undertakes its operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PreAxia Health Care Payment Limited (“PreAxia Payment”). PreAxia Payment was incorporated pursuant to the laws of the Province of Alberta on November 26, 2015.

General Overview

PreAxia Payment is a company which intends to deliver a comprehensive suite of solutions and services directed at the emerging health payment market, specifically the opportunities tied to the growth of health spending accounts (“HSA”). There is a rapid shift in healthcare traditional payment models to consumer-directed healthcare that is creating significant opportunities for financial services and insurance industries to deliver new dynamic products to this emerging market.

Spawned by the need to address escalating health care costs, changes in the regulatory environment and the growing consumer desire for greater participation in the management of their health benefits, the boundaries between health care and the financial services industries are becoming increasingly blurred. With the trend towards self-directed health payment solutions and the growing demand for faster, easier and more convenient benefit services, the insurance and benefits industries are banking on HSA medical payments being their next big growth conduit. Studies suggest that HSAs in the US reached $122.8 billion in assets in 2023 and 33.9 million consumers in 2022, an increase of more than 11% of assets over the prior year. This coupled with the continued growth of the Canadian group insurance industry illustrates the emerging opportunity for innovative health payment services. We intend to initially launch our products in Canada. We believe that Canadian businesses are embracing a new healthcare financing vehicle to provide greater value to employees, increase profitability and get more return from their investment. We intend to provide them with services to capture this market opportunity.

Plan of Operation

Over the next twelve months, we plan to:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of August 31, 2023, PreAxia’s cash balance was $355 compared to $6 as of May 31, 2023.  Our Company will be required to raise capital to fund our operations.  PreAxia had a working capital deficit of $2,337,649 as of August 31, 2023 compared with a working capital deficit of $2,296,730 as of May 31, 2023.  

Our ability to meet our financial liabilities and commitments is primarily dependent upon the continued issuance of equity to new stockholders and our ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations.  PreAxia's cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements for the next twelve-month period.   We will not initially have any cash flow from operating activities as we are in the startup stage.   We project that we will require an estimated $1,000,000 over the next twelve-month period to pay our arms-length creditors approximately $300,000 plus an additional $700,000 to complete our business plan. The Company plans to raise the capital required to satisfy our immediate short-term needs and additional capital required to meet our estimated funding requirements for the next twelve months primarily through the private placement of our equity securities or by way of loans or such other means as PreAxia may determine.  

There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain the funds required for our continued operations.  There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms.  If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further long-term financing, successful and sufficient market acceptance of our products and achieving a profitable level of operations.  The Company hopes to be able to attract suitable investors for our business plan, which will not require us to use our cash. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in this situation. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders.  Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

Our working capital (deficit) as of August 31, 2023 and May 31, 2023 is summarized as follows:

Working Capital

The increase in our working capital deficit of $40,919 was primarily due to increases in accrued liabilities – related party of $30,000 and Loans payable - shareholders of $10,961.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no 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 stockholders.

Results of Operations – Three Months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022

The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022.

For the three months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022

Our operating results for the three months ended August 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended August 31, 2022 are described below:

Revenue

Expenses

Our total expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2023 were $40,919 compared to $37,347 for the three months ended August 31, 2022. The increase in total expenses of $3,572 for the three months ended August 31, 2023 is due to an increase in professional fees of $5,214, an increase of $109 in office and administration fees, and a decrease in research and development of $1,751.

Consulting Fees

During each of the three months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022, Tom Zapatinas, the Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company, earned $30,000 for consulting services provided to the Company, which is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities – related party.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses during the three months ended August 31, 2023, decreased by $1,751 to $1,520, as compared to $3,271 during the three months ended August 31, 2022.

Wages and Benefits

There were no wages and benefits during the three months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022.

Office and Administration

Office and administration expenses increased by $109 for the three months ended August 31, 2023 due to an increase in office supply expenses.

Professional Fees

Professional fees during the three months ended August 31, 2023 increased by $5,214 to $7,714, as compared to $2,500 during the three months ended August 31, 2022.

Interest Expense

Interest expense is $0 for the three months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022 because accounts payable and accrued liabilities – related party, convertible note payable – related party and loans payable – shareholders are non-interest bearing.

Critical Accounting Policies 

We have identified certain accounting policies, described below, that are the most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations. Please refer to Note 2 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a full and complete disclosure of our accounting policies.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. ASC 606 requires us to apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, we satisfy the performance obligation.

Gross Versus Net Revenue

ASC 606 provides guidance on proper recognition of principal versus agent considerations which is used to determine gross versus net revenue recognition. Under ASC 606, the core objective of the guidance on gross versus net revenue recognition is to help determine whether an entity is a principal or an agent in a transaction. In general, the primary difference between these two is the performance obligation being satisfied. The principal has a performance obligation to provide the desired goods or services to the end customer, whereas the agent arranges for the principal to provide the desired goods or services. Additionally, a fundamental characteristic of a principal in a transaction is control. A principal substantively controls the goods and services before they are transferred to the customer as well as controlling the price of the good or service being provided. An agent normally receives a commission or fee for these activities. In addition to control, the level at which an entity controls the price of the good or service being transferred determines principal versus agent status. The more discretion over setting price a company has in providing the good or service, the more likely they are considered a principal rather than an agent. Under the guidance when another party is involved in providing a good or service to a customer, an entity is a principal if the entity obtains control of the asset or right to a service performed by the other party.

The Company provides administrative services for Health Spending Accounts sponsored by employers (the “customer”). The Company does not take possession of goods or control the services provided as the employees of the customer are free to determine their health care provider. As such, the Company records revenue net of reimbursements to employees. The Company’s services to the customer consist of reviewing medical costs for eligibility and reimbursing employees for eligible costs.

Software Development Costs

The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with several accounting pronouncements, including FASB ASC 730, “Research and Development,” FASB ASC 350-40, “Internal-Use Software,” FASB 985-20, “Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed” and FASB ASC 350-50, “Website Development Costs.”

Costs incurred during the period of planning and design, prior to the period determining technological feasibility, for all software developed for use internal and external, has been charged to operations in the period incurred as research and development costs.  Additionally, costs incurred after determination of readiness for market have been expensed as research and development.
