ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Item 1. Business.
Company History
Ethema Health Corporation (the “Company” or “Ethema”), a Colorado corporation was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on April 1, 1993, and is the surviving company of a merger, effective February 1, 1995, between the Company and Nova Natural Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Nova Delaware”). The merger was effectuated solely for the purpose of changing the Company’s domicile from Delaware to Colorado. At all times prior to 2001, the Company was engaged in the oil and gas exploration business. Nova Delaware was the successor entity to Nova Petroleum Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and Power Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation, which merged in 1986 (“the 1986 Merger”). Prior to the 1986 Merger, Nova Petroleum Corporation and Power Resources Corporation had operated since 1979 and 1972, respectively. In 2001, the Company entered into the electronics business and this business was active in 2001 and 2002, as part of the Torita Group. After 2002, the Company continued with various stages of development in this business until 2010.
On April 1, 2010, the Company changed its principal operations from development stage electronics to healthcare services. On March 29, 2010, the Company entered into a one year consulting agreement with GreeneStone Clinic Inc., a Canadian corporation (“Greenestone Clinic”), whereby Greenestone Clinic provided consulting services for the Company’s development and operation of medical clinics in the province of Ontario, Canada. Specifically, Greenestone Clinic provided medical and business expertise in the initial startup of private clinics and technical assistance to ensure that the clinics were in compliance with governmental policy and procedure requirements as well as any operational requirements. At the time of entering into this consulting agreement, Greenestone Clinic operated a clinic at the Muskoka property housing its addiction treatment clinic and provided endoscopy services. The Company started offering medical services in June 2010, offering various medical services, including endoscopy, cardiology and executive medicals, which services were subsequently sold.
During December 2016, the Company obtained a license to operate and provide addiction treatment healthcare services in Florida, USA. The company commenced operations under this license with effect from January 2017.
On February 14, 2017, the Company completed a series of transactions (referred to collectively as the “Restructuring Transactions”), including a Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) whereby the Company acquired 100% of the stock of Cranberry Cove Holdings Ltd. (“CCH”) from Leon Developments Ltd. (“Leon Developments”), a company wholly owned by Shawn E. Leon, who is the President, CEO, and CFO of the Company, for an assignment to Leon Developments of CDN$659,918 owing to the Company and the issuance of 60,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $2,184,000. CCH held the real estate on which the Company’s GreeneStone Muskoka operated. The Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) whereby the assets of GreeneStone Muskoka were sold by GreeneStone Muskoka, to Canadian Addiction Residential Treatment LP (the “Purchaser” or “CART”), for a total consideration of CDN$10,000,000. The company also entered into a lease agreement whereby the Company leased the real estate to Cart for an initial 5 year period with three 5 year renewal options.
On February 14, 2017, immediately after closing on the sale of the assets of GreeneStone Muskoka, the Company closed on the acquisition of the business and real estate assets of Seastone Delray pursuant to certain real estate and asset purchase agreements through its wholly owned subsidiary, Addiction Recovery Institute of America, LLC (“ARIA”). The purchase price for the ARIA assets was US$6,070,000.
On April 4, 2017 the Company changed its Corporate name from Greenestone Healthcare Corporation to Ethema Health Corporation.
On November 2, 2017, the Company entered into an Agreement to purchase certain buildings in West Palm Beach, Florida, totaling approximately 80,000 square feet, on which the Company planned to operate a substance abuse treatment center. The purchase price of the Property was $20,530,000. The Company made a series of nonrefundable down payments totaling $2,940,546 in 2017 and 2018. On May 23, 2018, the Company converted the agreement to purchase the buildings from the Landlord into a real property lease agreement with a purchase option. The lease was for an initial 10 years and provided for two additional 10 year extensions. In June 2018, the Company moved its ARIA operations into the West Palm Beach properties and in September 2018 received a license to operate in-patient detoxification and residential treatment services. On December 20,2019, the Company entered into an agreement with the landlord to terminate the lease agreement on January 31, 2020.
On April 2, 2019, the Company disposed of the real estate assets in ARIA located at 801 Andrews Avenue, Delray Beach for gross proceeds of $3,500,000, and on October 10, 2019, the Company transferred the remaining real estate asset located at 810 Andrews Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida to Leonite Capital, LLC, for net proceeds of $1,398,510, which proceeds were offset against the convertible loan owing to Leonite.
On June 30, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement (“the Stock Purchase Agreement”), whereby the Company agreed to acquire 51% of American Treatment Holdings, Inc. (“ATHI”) from The Q Global Trust (“Seller”) and Lawrence B Hawkins (“Hawkins”), which owned 100% of Evernia Health Services LLC. (“Evernia”), which operates drug rehabilitation facilities. The consideration for the acquisition was a loan to be provided by the Company to Evernia in the amount of $500,000. The Company has an option to acquire an additional 24% of ATHI for 100,000,000 shares of common stock and $50,000, on the condition that a probationary license was approved by the Florida Department of Family and Child Services, which was received on June 30,2021, upon which the Company exercised its option to acquire the additional 24% of ATHI, resulting in a 75% ownership of ATHI.
On December 30, 2022, the company entered into two agreements whereby it sold two non-operating subsidiaries, Greenstone Muskoka and ARIA to the Company Chairman and CEO for gross proceeds of $0, after Greenstone Muskoka forgave its intercompany receivable owing from the Company of $6,690,381 and the Company forgave its intercompany balance owing from ARIA of $9,605,315.
On June 30, 2023, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with Leonite Capital, LLC, whereby it exchanged 400,000 Series B shares with a value of $400,000 plus accrued dividends thereon of $61,184 for its entire shareholding in its property owning subsidiary, CCH. The Series B shares were cancelled upon consummation of the transaction.
On October 3, 2022 the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Evernia Station Limited Partnership for the purchase of 950 Evernia Street, West Palm Beach, Florida (“950”), the property in which it operates its treatment center, for gross proceeds of $5,500,000. (“Purchase Agreement”). The closing was originally scheduled for February 1, 2023, however through a series of 6 addendums to the Purchase Agreement requiring the payment of a total $180,000 in extension fees, the Closing was extended to August 3, 2023.
Simultaneously with the closing of the purchase and sale agreements, on August 4, 2023, the Company entered into a long term lease for 950 with an initial term of twenty years, and two ten year extension options.

On June 28, 2023 the Company entered into a Warrant Exchange Agreement with a previous lender that exchanged a Warrant outstanding to the previous lender originally issued on June 12, 2020 for a new Warrant dated June 30, 2023. The substantial changes to the warrant affect the number of shares in the warrant, the exercise price and the term. The original warrant provided for the previous lender to have a continuing right to purchase a 20% share of the outstanding common shares until it expired on June 12, 2025 which was originally set at 326,286,847 shares. The new warrant is exercisable for 745,810,761 shares, 20% of the number of common shares outstanding on June 28, 2023, with no allowance for adjustment, except normal adjustments due to splits or consolidations, until the new expiry date of June 30, 2027. The exercise price in the original warrant was $0.10, with allowance for adjustments, which when applied resulted in an exercise price of $0.0004 per share. The exercise price on the new warrant is $0.001 and is only adjustable if the Company issues any shares at a price less than the exercise price during the warrant period except for any issuance of shares to the Company’s president or related parties on any debt outstanding to those parties as of June 30, 2023, and limited to a conversion price of $0.0005 per share.
Penny Stock
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted rules that regulate broker dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws. (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.
The broker dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
There were no issuer purchases of equity securities during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

· General and administrative expenses was $1,041,501 and $805,372 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, an increase of $236,129 or 29.3%. The increase is primarily attributable to due to an increase in insurance costs of $85,701, due to the general hardening of the insurance market in South Florida, an increase in capital raising costs of $40,470 for funds spent on exploring capital raising opportunities, and the balance of $117,959 consisting of increase in numerous individually insignificant costs, related to the increase in the number of patients passing through the facility during the current period.
· Rent expense was $614,793 and $427,482 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 an increase of $187,311 or 43.8%. The increase is primarily due to an increase in rental which arose on the acquisition of the building from our landlord and the immediate disposal of the building to a third party on August 4, 2023, resulting in the cancellation of the old lease which expired in January 2027 and entering into a new 20 year lease expiring in August 2043, at an increased current rental of $33,161 per month as adjusted for rental smoothing over the term of the lease on both the cancelled old lease and the new 20 year lease, see gain on disposal of property below.

· Professional fees were $707,413 and $463,678 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, an increase of $243,735 or 52.6%. The increase is primarily due to the increase in professional fees related to the acquisition and immediate disposal of the real property in which the treatment facility operates on August 4, 2023, see gain on disposal of property, below, and an increase in contractor fees related to the increase in the number of patients treated at the facility during the current year, which resulted in increased revenues.
· Salaries and wages was $2,656,267 and $1,962,479 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, an increase of $693,788 or 35.4%. The increase is due to the increase in headcount to service the increase in the number of patients treated at the facility during the current year.
· Depreciation expense was $498,919 and $540,119 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, a decrease of $41,200 or 7.6%.

Cranberry Cove assets included buildings and leasehold improvements which were being depreciated prior to disposal.

The operating (loss) profit was $(541,920) and $489,117 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, an increase in loss of $1,031,037 or 210.8%. The increase in loss is due to the increase in operating expenses of $1,555,266, discussed in detail above, including once off management fees of $245,503, increased professional fees and capital raising fees which are not expected to incur in future periods, offset by the increase in revenue of $524,229, discussed in detail above.

Taxation was $391,962 and $(112,220) for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively an increase of $504,182 or 449.3%. The increase is due to the completion of tax returns for our operating subsidiaries during the current year, which resulted in the reversal of previously provided for income taxes, primarily related to accelerated depreciation allowances on property and equipment and the reversal of the deferred tax liability related to intangible assets. The 2022 charge relates to the profitable Evernia operations, which has been subsequently reversed in the 2023 year.
Net income
Net income was $1,006,415 and $295,188 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, an increase of $711,227 or 240.9%. The increase is due to the increase in income before taxation and the reversal of prior period taxation charges and deferred tax balances, discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash used in operating activities was $(0.5) million and cash generated by operating activities was $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively a decrease of $2.1 million or 129.6%. The decrease is primarily due to the following:
· The increase in net income of $0.7 million, as discussed above;
· The decrease in non-cash movements of $(2.7) million, primarily due to the gain on disposal of property of $(2.5) million, as discussed above;
· The increase in working capital of $(0.1) million, primarily due to an increase in the movement of accounts receivable of $0.3 million, a decrease in the movement in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $(0.1) million, and a decrease in the movement of taxes payable of $0.4 million due to the reversal of prior year tax provisions.
Cash provided by investing activities was $2.5 million and cash used in investing activities was $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company exercised its option to acquire 950 Evernia Street, where it conducts its treatment facility for net proceeds of $5.2 million, net of $0.4 million of deposits previously paid. Upon acquisition, we immediately sold the property for net proceeds of $8.1 million, after fees and expenses related to the disposal. During the current year, we paid a lease deposit of $374,000 for the real property lease entered into immediately upon disposal of the real property. In the prior year we invested $0.4 million in deposits for the purchase of the Evernia Street property and a further $0.3 million in property and equipment for the treatment center.
Cash used in financing activities was $(2.1) million and cash provided by investing activities was $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In the current year, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from investing activities for the net repayment of convertible notes of $(1.0) million, the net repayment of promissory notes of $(0.1) million and the payment of third party loans of $0.3 million.. The Company also repaid net receivables funding of $0.4 million, mortgage loans of $0.1 million and related party loans of $0.2 million during the current year. In the prior year, we repaid net promissory notes of $0.1 million, mortgage loans of $0.1 million, and third party loans of $0.1 million, funded by net receivables funding of $$.4 million and related party loans of $0.3 million.
Over the next twelve months we estimate that the company will require approximately $4.8 million in funding to repay its obligations if these obligations are not converted to equity. We will need funding for working capital as we continue to seek opportunities for addiction treatment in the US markets. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful with future financing ventures, and the inability to secure such financing may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. In the opinion of management, the Company’s liquidity risk is assessed as high.
Going Concern
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP applicable to a going concern, which assumes that we will be able to meet our obligations and continue our operations in the normal course of business. At December 31, 2023, we had a working capital deficiency of $7.9 million, and total liabilities in excess of assets in the amount of $6.2 million. We believe that current available resources will not be sufficient to fund our planned expenditures over the next 12 months. Accordingly, we will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of common shares, and/or debt financing in order to implement our business plan and generate sufficient revenue in excess of costs. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity, stockholders will experience dilution, and such securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of common stock or convertible senior notes. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt, we may be subject to limitations on its operations, through debt covenants or other restrictions. If we obtain additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or strategic partners, we may be required to relinquish our rights to certain geographical areas, or techniques that it might otherwise seek to retain. There is no assurance that we will be successful with future financing ventures, and the inability to secure such financing may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical accounting policies
Revenue recognition
We recognize revenue in terms of ASC 606 which requires us to exercise more judgment and recognize revenue using a five-step process as described under our accounting policies in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.
We derive substantially all of our revenue from payors that receive discounts from established billing rates. The various managed care contracts under which these discounts must be calculated are complex, subject to interpretation and adjustment, and may include multiple reimbursement mechanisms for different types of services provided in the Company’s inpatient facilities and cost settlement provisions. Management estimates the transaction price on a payor-specific basis given its interpretation of the applicable regulations or contract terms. The services authorized and provided and related reimbursement are often subject to interpretation that could result in payments that differ from the Company’s estimates. Additionally, updated regulations and contract renegotiations occur frequently, necessitating regular review and assessment of the estimation process by management.
Settlements with third-party payors are estimated and recorded in the period in which the related services are rendered and are adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for any adjustments and final settlements.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, Contractual and Other Discounts
In conjunction with Revenue recognition, we recognize revenue based on historical collections received from healthcare providers, recognizing only a percentage of revenues actually billed. Effectively recognizing revenue net of any expected billing differentials. Based on our collection experience, the percentage of revenue recognized is adjusted on a periodic basis, thereby taking into account expected credit losses in the revenue recognition process. The revenue we recognize is already net of expected credit losses.
Leases
We account for leases in terms of ASC 842. In terms of ASC 842, the Company assesses whether any asset based leases entered into for periods longer than twelve months meet the definition of financial leases or operation leases, by evaluating the terms of the lease, including the following; the duration of the lease; the implied interest rate in the lease; the cash flows of the lease; and whether the Company intends to retain ownership of the asset at the end of the lease term.
Leases which imply that we will not acquire the asset at the end of the lease term are classified as operating leases, our right to use the asset is reflected as a non-current right of use asset with a corresponding operational lease liability raised at the date of lease inception. The right of use asset and the operational lease liability are amortized over the right of use period using the effective interest rate implied in the operating lease agreement.
Long Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets for impairment by comparing the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the assets to the net book value of the assets when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. If the expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the net book value of the assets, the excess of the net book value over the estimated fair value will be charged to earnings.
Fair value is based upon discounted cash flows of the assets at a rate deemed reasonable for the type of asset and prevailing market conditions, appraisals, and, if appropriate, current estimated net sales proceeds from pending offers.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Our estimates are based on our historical experience, information received from third parties and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, that results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimated under different assumption or conditions. Significant accounting policies are fundamental to understanding our financial condition and results as they require the use of estimates and assumptions which affect the financial statements and accompanying notes. See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report for further information.
The Critical accounting policies that involved significant estimation include the following:
Revenue recognition
Management constantly monitors the level of billings and collections on those billings and makes an estimation of the percentage of billings that will ultimately be recorded as revenue. The various managed care contracts under which these discounts must be calculated are complex, subject to interpretation and adjustment, and may include multiple reimbursement mechanisms for different types of services provided in the Company’s inpatient facilities and cost settlement provisions. Management estimates the transaction price on a payor-specific basis given its interpretation of the applicable regulations or contract terms. The services authorized and provided and related reimbursement are often subject to interpretation that could result in payments that differ from the Company’s estimates.
Since we already make adjustments for expected collections we are constantly taking into account any expected credit losses.
Leases
On August 4, 2023, we entered into an acquisition and immediate disposal transaction with two unrelated third parties for the building which we currently operate our West Palm Beach treatment facility, see note 5 to the consolidated financial statements.
Simultaneously with the acquisition and disposal, on August 4, 2023, we entered into a long term lease for 950 Evernia Street, West Palm Beach, Florida with an initial term of twenty years, and two ten year extension options. The lease is absolutely net and the lease cost for the initial year is $748,000 paid monthly. The lease increases at a rate of 2.75% per year for a total term lease obligation of $19,595,653 over the initial twenty-year term. Due to the initial lease term of twenty years, we are not certain that the extension periods will be exercised at this point in time and accordingly, these have been excluded from the present value of the minimum future lease payments.
To determine the present value of minimum future lease payments for operating leases at August 4, 2023, we were required to estimate a rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term in a similar economic environment (the "incremental borrowing rate" or "IBR"). Wey determined the appropriate IBR by identifying a reference rate and making adjustments that take into consideration financing options and certain lease-specific circumstances. For the reference rate, the Company used the Fannie Mae, in excess of $3,000,000 rate based on an 80% value to loan ratio, averaging the 15 and 30 year indicative rates, resulting in a rate of 7.70%. We determined that 7.70% per annum was an appropriate incremental borrowing rate to apply to its real-estate operating lease.
The present value of the future minimum lease payments was valued at $9,333,953 on August 4, 2023.
Long-lived assets
We have significant long-lived assets, including property and equipment, intangible assets, right-of-use assets and deposits. The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets for impairment by comparing managements estimates of undiscounted future cash flows of the assets to the net book value of the assets when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. This requires significant estimation of future revenue streams, based on management’s understanding of the business which may not be accurate and may require re-estimation at a future date. If the expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the net book value of the assets, the excess of the net book value over the estimated fair value will be charged to earnings.
Fair value is based upon discounted cash flows of the assets at a rate deemed by management to be reasonable for the type of asset and prevailing market conditions, appraisals, and, if appropriate, current estimated net sales proceeds from pending offers.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Ethema Health Corporation and Subsidiaries
West Palm Beach, FL 33401
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Ethema Health Corporation and Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023, the related consolidated statement of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the year ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the year ended December 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, generated negative cash flows from operating activities, has an accumulated deficit and has stated that substantial doubt exists about Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans in regarding these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Ethema Health Corporation
West Palm Beach, Florida
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ethema Health Corporation (the Company) at December 31, 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the year ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has accumulated deficit of approximately $43.5 million and negative working capital of approximately $12.7 million at December 31, 2022, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Accounting for Embedded Conversion Features on Convertible Notes - Refer to Notes 9 and 14 to the Financial Statements
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of derivatives is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value of the derivative liabilities. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to the valuation models used and related variable inputs used within those models.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate; evaluating the appropriateness of the valuation techniques; testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the model; and evaluating the significant assumptions used by management, including the values of expected volatility and discount rate. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to the volatility amounts and discount rates involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering the current and historical performance, the consistency with external market and industry data, and whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

1. 	Nature of business
Since 2010, the Company has operated addiction treatment centers. Initially the Company operated an addiction treatment center in Ontario Canada under its Greenestone Muskoka clinic, which was sold on February 14, 2017. Simultaneously with this sale the Company purchased buildings and operated an addiction treatment center in Delray Beach Florida under its Addiction recovery Institute of America subsidiary with a license obtained in December 2016, initially though owned properties in Delray Beach and subsequently though leased properties in West Palm Beach, Florida. Since June 30, 2020, the Company has been actively involved in the management of a treatment center operated by Evernia in West Palm Beach Florida. On July 1, 2021, the Company closed on the acquisition of 75% of ATHI, which owns 100% of Evernia, once the probationary approval of a license was obtained from the Department of Children and Family Services of Florida. Evernia is currently the only active treatment center operated by the Company.
The Company sold its real estate on which its Greenstone Muskoka clinic operated during the current year, see note 4 below.
2. 	Summary of significant accounting policies
Financial Reporting
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company’s system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that i) recorded transactions are valid; ii) valid transactions are recorded; and iii) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being presented.
a) Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US 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 periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
b) 	Principals of consolidation and foreign currency translation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
Certain of the Company’s previous subsidiaries functional currency was the Canadian dollar, while the Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. All transactions initiated in Canadian dollars are translated into US dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Translation” as follows:
● Monetary assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date.
● Certain non-monetary assets and liabilities and equity at historical rates.
● Revenue and expense items and cash flows at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the year.
Adjustments arising from such translations were deferred until realization and were included as a separate component of stockholders’ deficit as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Therefore, translation adjustments were not included in determining net income (loss) but reported as other comprehensive income (loss).
For foreign currency transactions, the Company translates these amounts to the Company’s functional currency at the exchange rate effective on the invoice date. If the exchange rate changes between the time of purchase and the time actual payment is made, a foreign exchange transaction gain or loss results which is included in determining net income for the year.
The relevant translation rates are as follows: For the year ended December 31, 2023, a closing rate of CDN$1 equals US$0.7561 and an average exchange rate of CDN$1 equals US$0.7409, for the year ended December 31, 2022, a closing rate of CDN$1.0000 equals US$0.7383 and an average exchange rate of CDN$1.0000 equals US$0.7686.

c) Business Combinations
The Company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed for business combinations with third parties based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill.
Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired users, acquired technology, and trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management's estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates.
d) Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with several financial institution in the USA and Canada. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2023 and 2022.
The Company primarily places cash balances in the USA with high-credit quality financial institutions located in the United States which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to a limit of $250,000 per institution.
e) Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable primarily consists of amounts due from third-party payors (non-governmental) and private pay patients and is recorded net of allowances for doubtful accounts and contractual discounts. The Company’s ability to collect outstanding receivables is critical to its results of operations and cash flows. Accordingly, accounts receivable reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements is recorded at the net amount expected to be received. The Company’s primary collection risks are (i) the risk of overestimating net revenues at the time of billing that may result in the Company receiving less than the recorded receivable, (ii) the risk of non-payment as a result of commercial insurance companies denying claims, (iii) the risk that patients will fail to remit insurance payments to the Company when the commercial insurance company pays out-of-network claims directly to the patient, (iv) resource and capacity constraints that may prevent the Company from handling the volume of billing and collection issues in a timely manner, (v) the risk that patients do not pay the Company for their self-pay balances (including co-pays, deductibles and any portion of the claim not covered by insurance) and (vi) the risk of non-payment from uninsured patients.
f) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, Contractual and Other Discounts
The Company derives the majority of its revenues from commercial payors at in-network rates. The Company recognizes revenue based on historical collections received from healthcare providers, recognizing only a percentage of revenues actually billed. Effectively recognizing revenue net of any expected billing differentials. Based on the Company’s collection experience, the percentage of revenue recognized is adjusted on a periodic basis, thereby taking into account expected credit losses in the revenue recognition process. The revenue we recognize is already net of expected credit losses, therefore management does not maintain a separate allowance for doubtful accounts, contractual and other discounts.
Management also takes into consideration the age of accounts, creditworthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the percentage of revenue to be recognized.
g) Leases
The Company accounts for leases in terms of ASC 842. In terms of ASC 842, the Company assesses whether any asset based leases entered into for periods longer than twelve months meet the definition of financial leases or operation leases, by evaluating the terms of the lease, including the following; the duration of the lease; the implied interest rate in the lease; the cash flows of the lease; and whether the Company intends to retain ownership of the asset at the end of the lease term.
Leases which imply that the Company will retain ownership at the end of the lease term are classified as financial leases, are included in property and equipment with a corresponding financial liability raised at the date of lease inception. Interest incurred on financial leases are expensed using the effective interest rate method.
Leases which imply that the Company will not acquire the asset at the end of the lease term are classified as operating leases, the Company’s right to use the asset is reflected as a non-current right of use asset with a corresponding operational lease liability raised at the date of lease inception. The right of use asset and the operational lease liability are amortized over the right of use period using the effective interest rate implied in the operating lease agreement.
h) Property and equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the straight line basis over the estimated life of the asset.
ETHEMA HEALTH CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. 	Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
i) Long Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets for impairment by comparing the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the assets to the net book value of the assets when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. If the expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the net book value of the assets, the excess of the net book value over the estimated fair value will be charged to earnings.
Fair value is based upon discounted cash flows of the assets at a rate deemed reasonable for the type of asset and prevailing market conditions, appraisals, and, if appropriate, current estimated net sales proceeds from pending offers.
j) Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization, if applicable, less any adjustments for impairment losses.
Amortization is charged on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining useful lives of the individual intangibles. Where intangibles are deemed to be impaired the Company recognizes an impairment loss measured as the difference between the estimated fair value of the intangible and its book value.
Licenses to provide substance abuse rehabilitation services are amortized over the expected life of the contract, including any anticipated renewals. The Company expects its licenses to remain in operation for a period of five years.
k) 	Leases
The Company accounts for leases in terms of AC 842 whereby leases are classified as either finance or operating leases. Leases that transfer substantially all of the benefits and inherent risks of ownership of property to the Company are accounted for as finance leases. At the time a finance lease is entered into, an asset is recorded together with its related long-term obligation to reflect the acquisition and financing. Property and equipment recorded under finance leases is amortized on the same basis as described above. Operating leases are recognized on the balance sheet as a lease liability with a corresponding right of use asset for all leases with a term that is more than twelve months. Payments under operating leases are expensed as incurred.
l) Derivatives
The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. The Company previously used a Black Scholes Option Pricing model to estimate the fair value of convertible debt conversion features at the end of each applicable reporting period. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives during each reporting period were included in the statements of operations. Inputs into the Black Scholes Option Pricing model require estimates, including such items as estimated volatility of the Company’s stock, risk free interest rate and the estimated life of the financial instruments being fair valued.
If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” for consideration of any beneficial conversion feature.
m) Financial instruments
The Company initially measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, except for certain non-arm’s length transactions. The Company subsequently measures all its financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost.
Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash and accounts receivable.
Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, withholding taxes payable, convertible notes payable, loans payable and related party notes.
Financial assets measured at cost are tested for impairment when there are indicators of impairment. The amount of the write-down is recognized in net income. The previously recognized impairment loss may be reversed to the extent of the improvement, directly or by adjusting the allowance account, provided it is no greater than the amount that would have been reported at the date of the reversal had the impairment not been recognized previously. The amount of the reversal is recognized in net income. The Company recognizes its transaction costs in net income in the period incurred. However, financial instruments that will not be subsequently measured at fair value are adjusted by the transaction costs that are directly attributable to their origination, issuance or assumption.
FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
● Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
● Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
● Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The Company measures its convertible debt and any derivative liabilities associated therewith at fair value. These liabilities are revalued periodically and the resultant gain or loss is realized through the consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

n) 	Related parties
Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all related party transactions. All transactions are recorded at fair value of the goods or services exchanged.
o) 	Revenue recognition
ASC 606 requires companies to exercise more judgment and recognize revenue using a five-step process.
The Company’s provision for doubtful accounts are recorded as a direct reduction to revenue instead of being presented as a separate line item on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
As our performance obligations relate to contracts with a duration of one year or less, the Company elected the optional exemption in ASC 606-10-50-14(a). Therefore, the Company is not required to disclose the transaction price for the remaining performance obligations at the end of the reporting period or when the Company expects to recognize the revenue. The Company has minimal unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of the reporting period as our patients typically are under no obligation to remain admitted in our facilities.
The Company receives payments from the following sources for services rendered in our U.S. Facility: (i) commercial insurers; and (ii) individual patients and clients. As the period between the time of service and time of payment is typically one year or less, the Company elected the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-32-18 and does not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component.
The Company derives a significant portion of its revenue from payors that receive discounts from established billing rates. The various managed care contracts under which these discounts must be calculated are complex, subject to interpretation and adjustment, and may include multiple reimbursement mechanisms for different types of services provided in the Company’s inpatient facilities and cost settlement provisions. Management estimates the transaction price on a payor-specific basis given its interpretation of the applicable regulations or contract terms. The services authorized and provided and related reimbursement are often subject to interpretation that could result in payments that differ from the Company’s estimates. Additionally, updated regulations and contract renegotiations occur frequently, necessitating regular review and assessment of the estimation process by management.
Settlements with third-party payors are estimated and recorded in the period in which the related services are rendered and are adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for any adjustments and final settlements. However, there can be no assurance that any such adjustments and final settlements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. The Company’s receivables were $313,338 and $337,074 at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Management believes that these receivables are properly stated and are not likely to be settled for a significantly different amount.
The Company’s revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. The Company derives its revenues from the sale of its services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its revenue transactions:
i. identify the contract with a customer;
ii. identify the performance obligations in the contract;
iii. determine the transaction price;
iv. allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
v. recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

p) Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. Under ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The tax basis of an asset or liability is the amount attributed to that asset or liability for tax purposes. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period of change. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion of, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC Topic 740 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The first step is to determine if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained in an audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits within general and administrative expense. To the extent that accrued interest and penalties do not ultimately become payable, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction in general and administrative expenses in the period that such determination is made. The tax returns for fiscal 2019, through 2021 are subject to audit or review by the US tax authorities, whereas fiscal 2011 through 2021 are subject to audit or review by the Canadian tax authority.
q) Net income per Share
Basic net income per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the year.
Diluted net income per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted net income per share are excluded from the calculation.
Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for options and warrants. Under this method, “in-the money” options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Dilution is computed by applying the if-converted method for convertible preferred stocks. Under this method, convertible preferred stock is assumed to be converted at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and preferred dividends (if any) will be added back to determine income applicable to common stock. The shares issuable upon conversion will be added to weighted average number of common stock outstanding. Conversion will be assumed only if it reduces earnings per share (or increases loss per share).
r) Stock based compensation
Stock based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period or vesting period on a straight-line basis. Share-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. This estimate will be revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We have no awards with performance conditions and no awards dependent on market conditions.

s) Financial instruments Risks
The Company is exposed to various risks through its financial instruments. The following analysis provides a measure of the Company’s risk exposure and concentrations at the balance sheet date, December 31, 2023 and 2022.
i. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable.
Credit risk associated with accounts receivable is mitigated as only a percentage of the revenue billed to health insurance companies is recognized as income until such time as the actual funds are collected. The revenue is concentrated amongst several health insurance companies located in the US.
In the opinion of management, credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is assessed as low.
ii. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk through its working capital deficiency of approximately $7.9 million, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $42.4 million. The Company is dependent upon the raising of additional capital in order to implement its business plan. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful with future financing ventures, and the inability to secure such financing may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. In the opinion of management, liquidity risk is assessed as high, material and remains unchanged from that of the prior year.
iii. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises of three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk, and other price risk. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk and currency risk.
a. Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its convertible debt, short term loans, third party loans and government assistance loans as of December 31, 2023. In the opinion of management, interest rate risk is assessed as moderate.
b. Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company has limited exposure to assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The Company has not entered into any hedging agreements to mitigate this risk. In the opinion of management, currency risk is assessed as low, material and remains unchanged from that of the prior year.
c. Other price risk
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. In the opinion of management, the Company is not exposed to this risk and remains unchanged from the prior year.
t) 	Recent accounting pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued additional updates during the year ended December 31, 2023. None of these standards are either applicable to the Company or require adoption at a future date and none are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
ETHEMA HEALTH CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3. Going concern
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations in the normal course of business. At December 31, 2023, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $7.4 million, and total liabilities in excess of assets in the amount of $6.2 million . Management believes that current available resources will not be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned expenditures over the next 12 months. Accordingly, the Company will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of common shares, and/or debt financing in order to implement its business plan and generating sufficient revenue in excess of costs. If the Company raises additional capital through the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity, stockholders will experience dilution, and such securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of common stock or convertible senior notes. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing debt, the Company may be subject to limitations on its operations, through debt covenants or other restrictions. If the Company obtains additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or strategic partners, the Company may be required to relinquish its rights to certain geographical areas, or techniques that it might otherwise seek to retain. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful with future financing ventures, and the inability to secure such financing may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
4. Disposal of subsidiaries
On June 30, 2023, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with Leonite Capital, LLC, whereby it exchanged the 400,000 Series B shares with a value of $400,000 plus accrued dividends thereon of $61,184 for its entire shareholding in its property owning subsidiary, Cranberry Cove Holdings. The Series B shares were cancelled upon consummation of the transaction.
Immediately prior to the disposal of Cranberry Cove Holdings, the Company assumed the loan owed to a third party of $779,005 and the loan owing to Leon Developments of $1,973,837, Leon developments, a related party, owned by the Company’s CEO, Shawn Leon. In addition, the Company forgave the intercompany debt owing by Cranberry Cove Holdings of $4,566,848.

Acquisition and simultaneous disposition of property
On October 3, 2022 the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Evernia Station Limited Partnership for the purchase of 950 Evernia Street, West Palm Beach, Florida (“950”), the property in which it operates its treatment center, for gross proceeds of $5,500,000. (“Purchase Agreement”). The closing was originally scheduled for February 1, 2023, however through a series of 6 addendums to the Purchase Agreement requiring the payment of a total $180,000 in extension fees, the Closing was extended to August 3, 2023.
On February 27, 2023 the Company signed a listing agreement with Stream Capital Partners listing 950 for sale at a price of $9,568,000 with the intention of identifying a buyer that would purchase and then potentially enter into a lease agreement with the Company.
On May 4, 2023 the Company signed a Letter of Intent with Pontus Net Lease Advisers, LLC to sell 950 for $8,500,000 and lease the property to the Company for a term of twenty years with two ten year extensions.

7. Leases
The Company acquired ATHI on July 1, 2021, ATHI’s wholly owned subsidiary had entered into an operating lease agreement for certain real property located at 950 Evernia Street, West Palm Beach, Florida, with effect from February 1, 2019 for a period of three years, expiring on 1 February 2022. Under the terms of the lease agreement, the lease was extended during October 2021 for a further 5 year period until 1 February 2027.
As described in note 5 above, on October 3, 2022 the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Evernia Station Limited Partnership for the purchase of 950 Evernia Street, West Palm Beach, Florida, the property in which it operates its treatment center, for gross proceeds of $5,500,000. On August 3, 2023, after 6 addendums to the agreement, the Company closed on the acquisition of the property. This resulted in the termination of the lease with Evernia station, resulting in the reversal of the remaining right-of-use asset of $1,226,080 and the associated operating lease liability of $1,328,803, which liability included $102,723 of accrued rental, which was offset against the rental expense.
On August 4, 2023, the Company entered into a long term lease for 950 Evernia Street, West Palm Beach, Florida with an initial term of twenty years, and two ten year extension options. The lessor is Pontus EHC Palm Beach, LLC , a Delaware limited liability company and a portfolio company of Pontus Net Lease Advisors, LLC. The lease is absolutely net and the lease cost for the initial year is $748,000 paid monthly. The lease increases at a rate of 2.75% per year for a total term lease obligation of $19,595,653 over the initial twenty-year term. The Lease is personally guaranteed by the Company President and the guarantee may be released after 5 years based on certain financial and performance metrics being met. Due to the initial lease term of twenty years, the Company is not certain that the extension periods will be exercised at this point in time and accordingly, these have been excluded from the present value of the minimum future lease payments.
To determine the present value of minimum future lease payments for operating leases at August 4, 2023, the Company was required to estimate a rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term in a similar economic environment (the "incremental borrowing rate" or "IBR").
The Company determined the appropriate IBR by identifying a reference rate and making adjustments that take into consideration financing options and certain lease-specific circumstances. For the reference rate, the Company used the Fannie Mae, in excess of $3,000,000 rate based on an 80% value to loan ratio, averaging the 15 and 30 year indicative rates, resulting in a rate of 7.70%. The Company determined that 7.70% per annum was an appropriate incremental borrowing rate to apply to its real-estate operating lease.
The present value of the future minimum lease payments was valued at $9,333,953 on August 4, 2023.

In prior years, the short-term convertible notes, together with certain warrants issued to convertible note holders disclosed in note 9 above and 15 below, had fixed conversion price rights. The convertible notes as well as the warrants were afforded down-round protection which in terms of previous guidance resulted in a derivate liability. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 with effect from January 1, 2022, which excluded down-round protection from the determination of a derivative liability.
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and years prior to that, have not been retrospectively adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.
The original derivative financial liability was valued at inception at $1,959,959 using a Black-Scholes valuation model.
As of December 31, 2021, the derivative liability was valued at $515,901.

Warrant exchange agreement
On June 28, 2023 the Company entered into a Warrant Exchange Agreement with Leonite that exchanged a Warrant outstanding to Leonite originally issued on June 12, 2020 for a new Warrant dated June 30, 2023. The substantial changes to the warrant affect the number of shares in the warrant, the exercise price and the term. The original warrant provided for Leonite to have a continuing right to purchase a 20% share of the outstanding common shares until it expired on June 12, 2025 which was originally set at 326,286,847 shares. The new warrant is exercisable for 745,810,761 shares, 20% of the current number of common shares outstanding, with no allowance for adjustment, except normal adjustments due to splits or consolidations, until the new expiry date of June 30, 2027. The exercise price in the original warrant was $0.10, with allowance for adjustments, which when applied resulted in an exercise price of $0.0004 per share. The exercise price on the new warrant is $0.001 and is only adjustable if the Company issues any shares at a price less than the exercise price during the warrant period except for any issuance of shares to the Company’s president or related parties on any debt outstanding to those parties as of June 30, 2023, and limited to a conversion price of $0.0005 per share. The Warrant Exchange agreement was conditional on Leonite receiving a full payment of all of its outstanding loans originally set as by July 20, 223. This date was extended and all of the notes were repaid on August 4, 2023. Leonite held several notes at June 30, 2023, some of which were convertible into shares at variable rates, see notes 9 and 10 above. The total amount repaid to settle all of the outstanding liabilities was $1,449,000.
The replacement warrants were valued effective June 30, 2023, the effective date of issuance of the warrants, as the difference between the fair value of the original warrant exercisable for 326,286,847 shares of common stock and the fair value of the replacement four-year warrant exercisable for 745,810,861 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share.

The Company has established a valuation allowance against its gross deferred tax assets sufficient to bring its net deferred tax assets to zero due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of such assets. Management has determined it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets are not realizable due to the Company’s historical loss position. The valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2023 decreased by a total of $336,075.
As of December 31, 2023, the prior three tax years remain open for examination by the federal or state regulatory agencies for purposes of an audit for tax purposes.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had available for income tax purposes approximately $31,6 million in federal and $0.5 million in state net operating loss carry forwards, which may be available to offset future taxable income. $8.1 million of the net operating losses will begin to expire in 2034 and $21.4 million has an indefinite life. Due to the uncertainty of the utilization and recoverability of the loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets, Management has determined a full valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets since it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realizable.
Pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”), §382, the Company’s ability to use its net operating loss carry forwards to offset future taxable income is limited if the Company experiences a cumulative change in ownership of more than 50% within a three-year period.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Annual Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required under the SEC’s rules and forms and that the information is gathered and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that due to our limited resources our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in providing material information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings on a timely basis and to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure about our internal control over financial reporting discussed below.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for our company. Our internal control system was designed to, in general, provide reasonable assurance to our management and board regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements, but because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023. The framework used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “Internal Control - Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on that assessment, our management has determined that as of December 31, 2023, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to material weaknesses related to a limited segregation of duties due to our limited resources and the small number of employees. Management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness which could result in material misstatements of significant accounts and disclosures that could result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. In addition, due to limited staffing, we are not always able to detect minor errors or omissions in reporting.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, the design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
As required by the SEC Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b), we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting (as described below).
Deficiencies and Significant Deficiencies
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Audit Standard No. 5, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has identified the following material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that as of December 31, 2023, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
1. We do not have sufficient written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which is applicable to us for the year ended December 31, 2023. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have sufficient written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
2. We do not have sufficient resources in our accounting function, which restricts the Company’s ability to gather, analyze and properly review information related to financial reporting in a timely manner. In addition, due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
We have taken steps to remediate some of the weaknesses described above and we are in discussions with the risk advisory departments of reputable accounting firms to assist us in the COSO framework documentation and testing of the internal controls. We intend to continue to address these weaknesses as resources permit, including the employment of new qualified employees.
Remediation of Deficiencies and Significant Deficiencies
To address these material weaknesses, management engaged financial consultants, performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Additionally, we will continue to establish and implement proper processes and systems to remediate the deficiencies we have had, including preventive controls with the segregation of duties on main areas such as payroll, billing, cash recording, and IT control and detective controls involving account reconciliations on a monthly basis.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
