NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

February 28, 2018

 

Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business

 

PreAxia Health Care Payment Systems Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on 28 January 2008. The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establish a new business and none of its planned principal operations have commenced. The primary operations of the Company will eventually be undertaken by PreAxia Canada Inc (“PreAxia Canada”).  PreAxia Canada is in the process of developing an online access system creating a health savings account that allows card payments and processing services to third-party administrators, insurance companies and others. PreAxia Canada Inc. was incorporated pursuant to the laws of the Province of Alberta on January 28, 2008. PreAxia Canada Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of PreAxia Health Care Payment Systems Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission requirements for interim financial statements. Therefore, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2017.

 

The interim consolidated financial information is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of February 28, 2018, and the results of operations, and cash flows presented herein have been included in the consolidated financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the full year.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and PreAxia Canada. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Going Concern

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year.  Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  As of February 28, 2018, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $4,100,560, has negative working capital of $1,341,392 and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.  

 

Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but believes the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances; however there is no assurance of additional funding being available.

 

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 financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Significant estimates include the estimated useful lives of property and equipment.  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 PreAxia Canada 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 exchange gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

Level 1		Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reportingdate. the rerereportingdate date date date.
Level 2		Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3		Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The Company’s notes payable approximate the fair value of such instruments based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements at February 28, 2018.

 

The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or a non-recurring basis.

 

Gain (Loss) Per Share

 

Gain (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 and 0 shares of potential common stock equivalents related to convertible related party loans as of February 28, 2018 and 2017, respectively. A separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented since the Company has net losses as the effects would be anti-dilutive.

Research and 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 has capitalized 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 have been capitalized, under the same criteria as our marketed software.  

Capitalized software costs are stated at cost.  The estimated useful life of costs capitalized is evaluated for each specific project. The software is being amortized over three years starting June 2014 and has been fully amortized as of February 28, 2018 and May 31, 2017.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company follows paragraph 360-10-05-4 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for its long-lived assets. The Company’s long-lived assets, which includes computer equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.

 

The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related long-lived asset or group of long-lived assets over their remaining estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets.  Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable.  If long-lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book values of the long-lived assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives.

 

The Company determined that there were no impairments of long-lived assets as of February 28, 2018.

 

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

 

The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition.  The Company will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned.  The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

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 adopted 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.  The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of Section 740-10-25.

 

Cash Flows Reporting

 

The Company adopted paragraph 230-10-45-24 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for cash flows reporting, classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method (“Indirect method”) as defined by paragraph 230-10-45-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments.  The Company reports the reporting currency equivalent of foreign currency cash flows, using the current exchange rate at the time of the cash flows and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash held in foreign currencies is reported as a separate item in the reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of cash and cash equivalents and separately provides information about investing and financing activities not resulting in cash receipts or payments in the period pursuant to paragraph 830-230-45-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company follows the guidance in Section 855-10-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements were issued.  Pursuant to ASU 2010-09 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the Company as an SEC filer considers its financial statements issued when they are widely distributed to users, such as through filing them on EDGAR.

 

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.

(“PreAxia Canada”) formerly PreAxia Health Care Payment System Inc. and, before that, H Pay Card Ltd., unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

  

General Overview

 

Corporate Overview

Preaxia was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 3, 2000. On December 11, 2008, the Nevada Secretary of State effected a name change, which had been previously approved by the majority of the stockholders on October 28, 2008.

Our company undertakes all of its operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PreAxia Health Care Payment Systems Inc. (“PreAxia Canada”- formerly H Pay Card Inc). PreAxia Canada, prior to being acquired by PreAxia, was a private corporation incorporated pursuant to the laws of the Province of Alberta on January 28, 2008.

General Overview

 

PreAxia and its wholly owned subsidiary,PreAxia Canada, are both development stage companies. PreAxia Canada is a company, which offers 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 (“HSAs”) and generally as a payment service between health care providers and consumers. Put differently, PreAxia offers a health care payment model that incorporates certain attributes of both PayPal and virtual banking. There is a 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.

 

The Canadian economy has undergone unprecedented growth over the past two decades. During this same period, the Internet has dramatically changed our way of communicating and conducting business. This has had dramatic effects on key industries such as retail, banking and travel. Consumers have shown a preference for relying on the Internet to handle many aspects of their personal and professional lives. This, in turn, has forced businesses to adapt. While the Health Care Industry has also grown during this time, the consumer has seen neither cost nor efficiency savings comparable to what has occurred in other industries.

 

Today, however, the economy is in a slow growth phase (at best) and more likely one of worldwide contraction. No less an authority than the head of Toronto-Dominion Bank has warned that Canada has “hardly begun to appreciate the implications” of the long-term economic disruption. In a speech to the Annual Ivey Business Leader Award Dinner (2011), Mr. Clark suggested that all western economies are facing one of the biggest challenges in a generation due to a series of economic and demographic forces that include a slow-growth economy. He goes on to explain that “… in too many countries, promises have been made that cannot be kept. Promises around health care, pensions and support systems, which seemed affordable at the time.”

 

PreAxia now offers what we believe to be the proper medicine for this economy.

 

PreAxia Health Care Payment Systems is a market disrupting technology that takes advantage of important trends in our society. Government budgets are strained. With health care requiring a large and growing portion of these budgets, it seems inevitable that efforts to reduce government expenditures are likely to target these health care expenditures. Reductions in government funding of health care services mean that individuals will have to take more individual responsibility for covering at least some of these costs. The growing responsibility for directly funding one’s own future health care expenditures combined with a desire to manage all sorts of financial dealings through the Internet presents the opportunity that PreAxia has now begun to exploit.

 

PreAxia has found a better way to service an existing and growing need. Utilizing the Internet to automate and eliminate paperwork, the company was developed to reflect the growing demand for Health Spending Accounts (“HSAs”) as a tax-free vehicle for managing and controlling health care expenditures.

 

The growing interest in HSAs has fueled the need for fund management and adjudication services, hence the creation and growth of Third Party Administrators (“TPAs”). The HSA/TPA clients are referred by Brokerage Firms and Independent Brokers, who receive a referral commission. The HSA industry is primarily focused on small to medium-size businesses which can, since 2003, offer HSAs as part of their employee benefits package. The incentive for a traditional insurer such as Manulife to service the small to medium-size employer (under 50 lives) with anything other than their traditional, premium-driven health insurance products is on the whole too small to warrant significant (i.e. costly) marketing efforts or the introduction of competing HSA-type products.

 

Using health plan innovations, including the HSA, these new alternative providers of employee health benefits have successfully gained an estimated 10% share of the $26-$30 Billion Canadian health benefits annual 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 will grow to over $75 billion in assets and 25 million consumers by 2017. 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 control costs, increase profitability and get more return from their investment. We intend to provide them with services to capture this market opportunity.

 

Description of Health Spending Account (“HSA”)

An HSA is a uniquely designed bank account established exclusively and specifically for the purpose of health care spending; an employer deposits funds into a special account for the employee; These funds can be used to pay for eligible medical and related health care expenses for the employee and their dependents. The funds in the HSA can be used to top up existing group coverage by covering residual amounts on prescription drugs, eyeglasses and hearing aids or to pay for medical, vision and dental expenses that otherwise may not be covered under the group benefit plan. Traditional health plan users pay premiums into a plan but do not see a return on money unless there is an issue with their health. In addition, most plans are established so that monies deposited into a plan by an employee are non-transferable upon the employee’s change of employment. HSAs provide employers and employees with greater control in both the amount of funds invested and how these funds are used.

Services and infrastructure provided by PreAxia will enable insurance companies, governments and corporations to replace cash and cheque payments and to eliminate all paper involved in the management of these accounts and benefit through savings in time and money. Our company’s plans are to provide instant issuing services that enable corporations to issue and fund Pre-Paid Interac or credit card services to beneficiaries in real time. The beneficiary will select a personal identification number (“PIN”) using a PIN and card activation terminal, thus gaining instant access to funds that can be reloaded.

PreAxia is in the process of developing a platform for processing and managing accounts and payment cards, including cardholder and customer account management, reconciliation and financial settlement, and customer reporting.

PreAxia is in the process of developing software systems for the issuing of health payment cards and financial transaction processing services that will be fully managed by a data center. Products and services are anticipated to include:

• Payment card issuance on behalf of issuing bank partners for customer-branded credit cards and Interac payment cards. The cards are anticipated to be issued with Canadian and United States access through Interac (Canada) and STAR (United States) ATM, as well as inter-bank networks.
• Payment processing and funds allocation on payment accounts through financial electronic data interchange, wire transfers, and the automatic clearing house (“ACH”), with a PreAxia connection to a financial institution payment gateway and the United States ACH network through a United States financial institution.
• Enabling cardholders to select a personal PIN using a PreAxia PIN selection and card activation terminal. These functions enable the end user to be issued a PreAxia generated payment card at a customer’s office which is ready for immediate use.
• Authorizing transactions based upon the business requirements of PreAxia customers.
• Monitoring for unusual transaction activities, fraud and compliance violations.
• Providing management reports to customers and payment beneficiaries.
• Customer support center for reporting lost or stolen cards and for answering cardholder inquiries.

Distribution Methods and Marketing Strategy

 

PreAxia operates on a Cloud Computing Platform that makes it accessible to anyone with a personal computer and Internet access. The preliminary market for PreAxia’s HSA Management Solution is small and medium sized companies that are not currently well served by the current group benefits model. The financial benefits of the PreAxia business model, however, are also relevant to larger employers and we believe that these larger employers will migrate to the PreAxia product over time.

 

PreAxia’s marketing strategy is to promote its existing platform to the groups that most need access to it. Namely, independent brokers, financial advisors and small to medium sized businesses. Brokers should see PreAxia as a superior method of promoting and supporting HSAs that allow them to earn above average commission rates on invested funds. Financial advisors should see PreAxia in a similar way as brokers except that there is the additional benefit of tax reduction. Small to medium sized businesses, which are expected to drive the growth in business, should see PreAxia as offering financial savings to the company and to employees by offering personal health care benefits through an HSA, along with the same conveniences they have come to expect from other services they currently utilize over the Internet. It is expected that the group benefits market will subsequently follow as they too realize the advantages of PreAxia over their current HSA offerings. PreAxia has begun and will continue to seek opportunities with lead customers and alliance partners to establish reference-able, high-profile implementations and market-leading, early-adopter firms for further developing innovative products and services. The company intends to design solutions targeted towards corporate financial management, financial risk, audit management and cash management while targeting product/service management as a support to financial management.

 

We anticipate that the prime target for services will be small to medium sized organizations that are not adequately served by the current insurance and group benefits offerings. These organizations should realize significant benefits in both cost and time savings by utilization of PreAxia technology while providing their employees with an increased level of benefits.

 

PreAxia intends to achieve service volume and the associated economies of scale through marketing directly to select target customers that provide the necessary transaction volumes, through market specific channel partners and through an education based public relations strategy geared to the small to mid-sized employers including the brokers and financial advisors utilized by these businesses. The channel strategy is supported in the solution design, as multiple channel partners will require branding and our company’s fee charging/collection capabilities.

It is our company’s intention to sell through multi-tiered, value-added resellers. For example, the Health Card solution may be provided by a subcontract to a leading vendor that rebrands and adds value to the solution. The leading vendor in turn may form part of a larger professional services systems integration engagement with the customer. One example of this approach is that a major bank may lead on selling our company’s solution to medical insurance companies and the health care industry under our product brand.

PreAxia has identified the following “channels” through which it will target prime end market customers:

• Benefits managers/adjudicators, including insurance, health or outsources government benefits processors that manage benefits disbursement
• Issuer banks, including partner banks that enable the issuance of Health Cards
• Application providers, including software manufacturers selling into the target vertical markets
• Independent brokers that sell, or desire to sell, Health Spending Accounts
• Financial advisors who manage funds and advise on tax saving strategies for individuals and corporations
• Accountants and bookkeepers who regularly advise businesses on financial and operational matters
• MGAs that provide services and education to the broker community
• Professional services, including consulting, development and implementation companies serving the target vertical markets

PreAxia intends to establish several key customer reference accounts, channel marketing partners and technology alliances. These corporate relationships are key to advance our company’s goals in 2017 for achieving a prime position in the Canadian public sector and establishing a solid service foundation.

 

Competitive Business Conditions and our Company’s Competitive Position in the Industry and Methods of Competition

PreAxia intends to offer a combination of products and services in its solution. However, there are other providers of components or versions of the service offerings in the marketplace. Our company is taking a different approach by providing a high value added and robust capability within specific target markets, rather than the “one size fits all” and mass volume approach of the larger companies in the Canadian and international market. In addition,,PreAxia is taking a unique approach by focusing exclusively on Health Spending Accounts and making it available on a Cloud Computing platform that provides both the sellers and users of this product with a superior offering. PreAxia also offers a differentiating USP to brokers by operating in a non-competitive position thereby acting as a partner to the brokers that ultimately sell HSAs. As awareness of PreAxia’s product grows in the marketplace, the company will seek out opportunities to expand its market share by integrating with the group benefits industry. The company also intends to expand its offering to markets in the USA and elsewhere. The following are some of the providers of products and services that are or may be potential competitors in PreAxia’s target markets: 

 

Canadian Market:

• Pay Linx Financial Corporation is presently inactive, but was a company offering prepaid debit card payment solutions that integrated into the Interac and MasterCard financial networks in North America.

We anticipate that source codes or other proprietary knowledge will be protected through agreements entered into between PreAxia and its employees and contractors, and additional high standards of confidentiality and protection of data are set by clients and regulatory authorities within the industry.

 

Intellectual Property and Patent Protection

 

At present, PreAxia has two trademarks pending. One is for the company name (PreAxia) and another is for the company logo design.

 

Plan of Operation

 

Over the next twelve months, we plan to:

 

	(a)	Raise additional capital to execute our business plans;
	(b)	Penetrate the health care processing markets in Canada, the United States and worldwide, by continuing to develop innovative health care processing products and services;
	(c)	Build up a network of strategic alliances with several types of health insurance companies, governments and other alliances in various vertical markets; and
	(d)	Fill the positions of senior management sales, administrative and engineering positions.

 

Cash Requirements

 

After a further review of business opportunities with industry consultants, for the next twelve months and given that we meet our forecasted expenses, we plan to spend a total of approximately $1,550,000 in implementing our business plan of development and marketing of health care processing products and services.  We do not expect to generate any revenues this year, therefore we will be required to raise a total of $2,805,069 to complete our business plan and pay our outstanding debts of approximately $1,343,072   Our working capital requirements for PreAxia Canada for the next twelve months are estimated at $1,550,000 distributed, as follows:

 

Estimated Expenses
General and Administrative		$	300,000
Research and Development			450,000
Marketing and Education			450,000
Professional Services			350,000
Total		$	1,550,000

 

Our estimated expenses over the next twelve months are broken down as follows:

 

	1.	General and Administrative. We anticipate spending approximately $300,000 on general and administration costs in the next twelve months, which will include staff fees, office rent, office supplies, transfer agents, filing fees, bank service charges, salaries for our administration, interest expense and travel, which includes airfare, meals, car rentals and accommodations.
	2.	Research and Development.  We anticipate that we may spend approximately $450,000 in the next twelve months in the development and acquisition of software for our processing services and products.
	3.	Marketing and Education. We anticipate spending approximately $450,000 as the costs of staff and personnel, marketing and promoting our Company, our products and services, and educating the public to attract new accounts.
	4.	Professional Services.  We anticipate that we may spend up to $350,000 in the next twelve months for professional services, which includes, accounting, auditing, legal fees and investor relations.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of February 28, 2018, PreAxia’s cash balance was $1,680 compared to $8,779 as at May 31, 2017.  Our Company will be required to raise capital to fund our operations.  PreAxia’s cash on hand is currently its only source of liquidity.  PreAxia had a working capital deficit of $1,341,392 as of February 28, 2018 compared with a working capital deficit of $1,198,480 as of May 31, 2017.  

 

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 additional $1,550,000 over the next twelve-month period to fund our operating cash shortfall and to complete our business plan.  Our 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 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 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 at February 28, 2018 compared to May 31, 2017 is summarized as follows:

 

Working Capital

		February 28, 2018				May 31, 2017
Current Assets		$	1,680			$	8,779
Current Liabilities			(1,343,072	)			(1,207,259	)
Working Capital (deficit)		$	(1,341,392	)		$	(1,198,480	)

 

The increase in our working capital deficit of $142,912 was primarily due to an increase in our accounts payable related party and an increase in loans payable from shareholders.

 

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.

Revenue recognition

 

PreAxia recognizes revenue in accordance with the provision of the Securities and Exchange Commission,,which establishes guidance in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements.  This provision requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable.

  

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, being February 28, 2018. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer.

 

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of a control system are met. Further, any control system reflects limitations on resources, and the benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its costs. These limitations also include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of a control. The design of a control system is also based upon certain assumptions about potential future conditions; over time, currently implemented controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Due to the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

 

Based upon their evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as at the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal nine month period ended February 28, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

We know of no material proceedings in which any director, officer or affiliate of our company, or any registered or beneficial stockholder of our company, or any associate of any such director, officer, affiliate, or stockholder is a party adverse to our company or subsidiary or has a material interest adverse to our company or subsidiary.
