PART I

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.

This annual report contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are projections in respect of future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “intend”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential”, or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors” commencing on page 5, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity or performance to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity or performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include: a continued downturn in international economic conditions; any adverse occurrence with respect to the development or marketing of our product; any adverse occurrence with respect to any of our licensing agreements; our ability to successfully bring products to market; product development or other initiatives by our competitors; fluctuations in the availability and cost of materials required to produce our products; any adverse occurrence with respect to distribution of our products; potential negative financial impact from claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings or challenges; and other factors beyond our control.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity or performance. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

As used in this annual report, the terms “we”, “us” “our” the “Corporation” and “PreAxia” mean PreAxia Health Care Payment Systems Inc. and our wholly- owned subsidiary, PreAxia Health Care Payment System Inc. (formerly H Pay Card Inc.), unless the context clearly requires otherwise. Unless otherwise stated, “$” refers to United States dollars.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

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.

2

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.

4

General Overview

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

Spawned by the need to address escalating health care costs, changes in the regulatory environment and the growing consumer desire for greater participation in the management of their health benefits, the boundaries between health care and the financial services industries are becoming increasingly blurred. With the trend towards self-directed health payment solutions and the growing demand for faster, easier and more convenient benefit services, the insurance and benefits industries are banking on HSA medical payments being their next big growth conduit. Studies suggest that HSAs in the US reached $30 billion in assets and 16.7 million consumers in 2015, an increase of more than 20% over the prior year. This coupled with the continued growth of the Canadian group insurance industry illustrates the emerging opportunity for innovative health payment services. We intend to initially launch our products in Canada. We believe that Canadian businesses are embracing a new healthcare financing vehicle to 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. 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 enable organizations and individuals to eliminate all paper involved in the management of these accounts and benefit through savings in time and money.

 

The PreAxia platform for processing and managing accounts, including cardholder and customer account management, reconciliation and financial settlement, and customer reporting is fully operational.

 

Over time, the company will evaluate opportunities for forms of virtual banking and PayPal-type services. One opportunity seen as particularly relevant to the health care market is to offer instant issuing services that enable corporations to issue and fund Pre-Paid Interac or credit card services to beneficiaries in real time. If implemented, the beneficiary will most likely select a personal identification number (“PIN”) using a PIN and card activation terminal, thus gaining instant access to funds that can be reloaded. This consideration would require development of software systems for the issuing of health payment cards and financial transaction processing services that would be fully managed by a data center.

Matching of consumers in need of health care products or services with providers is another area PreAxia intends to evaluate. Consumers managing their health care dollars through an online system will find convenience in seeking out health care professionals and services through the same system.

Distribution Methods and Marketing Strategy

3

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.

5

PreAxia’s s marketing strategy is to promote its existing platform direct to consumers and businesses, and to the groups that most need access to it. Specifically, independent brokers, financial advisors and small to medium sized businesses need access. 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 that brokers and financial advisors will aggressively promote their PreAxia supported HSA offerings due to the quality of product, higher margins and because of the non-competitive relationship with PreAxia.

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

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

Managing General Agents that provide services and education to the broker community

Accountants and bookkeepers who regularly advise businesses on financial and operational matters

Benefits managers/adjudicators, including insurance, health or outsourced government benefits processors that manage benefits disbursement

Issuer banks, including partner banks that enable the issuance of Health Cards and/or sell insurance products

Application providers, including software manufacturers selling into the target vertical markets

Professional services, including consulting, development and implementation companies serving the target vertical markets

·Independent brokers that sell, or desire to sell, Health Spending Accounts

 64 

 

PreAxia intends to establish several key customer reference accounts, channel marketing partners and technology alliances. These corporate relationships are relevant to advancing our company’s goals in2016in 2018 and beyond for achieving a prime position in the Canadian marketplace 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 Health Card value proposition 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. The following are some of the leading providers of products and services that are or may be potential competitors in PreAxia’s target markets:

Canadian Market:

International Market:

Intangible Properties

When negotiating its arrangements with clients, PreAxia intends to ensure that all rights to and ownership of its intellectual property remains with our company. 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 does not have any pending or registered patents or any trademarks.

Research and Development

For the years ended May 31, 2016,2018, and 2015,2017, we expended $31,643$38,067 and $0$54,743 on research and development.

Employees

PreAxia has one full-time consultant, our President, Mr. Tom Zapatinas effective September 1, 2011. We anticipate that we will hire additional key staff throughout 2016/172018 and 2019 in areas of administration/accounting, business development, operations, sales/marketing and research/development.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Risks RelatedNot applicable to our Company

We have a limited operating history.

8

We are in the early stages of development and face risks associated with a new company in a growth industry. We may not successfully address these risks and uncertainties or successfully implement our operating strategies. If we fail to do so, it could materially harm our business to the point of having to cease operations and could impair the value of our common stock to the point investors may lose their entire investment. Even if we accomplish these objectives, we may not generate positive cash flows or the profits we anticipate in the future.

PreAxia has a limited operational history. Our company has never paid dividends and has no present intention to pay dividends. Our company is in the early commercialization stage of its business and therefore will be subject to the risks associated with early stage companies, including uncertainty of revenues, markets and profitability and the need to raise additional funding. PreAxia will be committing, and for the foreseeable future will continue to commit, significant financial resources to marketing, product development and research. PreAxia’s business and prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stage of development. Such risks include the evolving and unpredictable nature of our company’s business, PreAxia’s ability to anticipate and adapt to a developing market, acceptance by consumers of our products and the ability to identify, attract and retain qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that PreAxia will be successful in doing what is necessary to address these risks.

We will need substantial additional financing in the future to continue operations.

Our ability to continue our present operations will be dependent upon our ability to obtain significant external funding. Additional sources of funding have not been established. We are exploring various financing alternatives. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in securing such financing at acceptable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available from the foregoing sources, or if we determine it is to otherwise be in our best interests, we may consider additional strategic financing options, including sales of assets.

We will require key personnel.

The financial services technology industry involves a high degree of risk, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. The success of PreAxia is dependent on the services of its senior management. The experience of these individuals will be a factor contributing to our company’s continued success and growth. The loss of one or more of its key employees could have a material adverse effect on our operations and business prospects. In addition, PreAxia’s future success will depend in large part on its ability to attract and retain additional highly skilled technical, management, sales and marketing personnel. There can be no assurance that our company will be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our company’s business, operating results and financial condition.

We have additional financing requirements.

In order to accelerate PreAxia’s growth objectives, it will need to raise additional funds from lenders and equity markets in the future. There can be no assurance that our company will be able to raise additional capital on commercially reasonable terms to finance its growth objectives. The ability of our company to arrange such financing in the future will depend in part upon the prevailing capital market conditions as well as the business performance of our company. There can be no assurance that PreAxia will be successful in its efforts to arrange additional financing on terms satisfactory to our company. If additional financing is raised by the issuance of shares of common stock of our company, control of our company may change and stockholders may suffer additional dilution.

We may not be successful in the protection of intellectual property.

There can be no assurance that infringement or invalidity claims (or claims for indemnification resulting from infringement claims) will not be asserted or prosecuted against PreAxia or that any such assertions or prosecutions will not materially adversely affect our company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. Irrespective of the validity or the successful assertion of such claims, our company could incur significant costs and diversion of resources with respect to the defense thereof which could have a material adverse effect on our company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. Our company’s performance and ability to compete are dependent to a significant degree on its proprietary technology. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by our company will prevent misappropriation of its technology or that agreements entered into for that purpose will be enforceable. The laws of other countries may afford our company little or no effective protection of its intellectual property. Our company may in the future also rely on technology licenses from third parties. There can be no assurance that these third party licenses will be, or will continue to be, available to our company on commercially reasonable terms. The loss of, or inability of our company to maintain, any of these technology licenses could result in delays in completing its product enhancements and new developments until equivalent technology could be identified, licensed, or developed and integrated. Any such delays would materially adversely affect PreAxia’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

9

Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financialsmaller reporting are not effective, which may cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.companies.

Our management evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 31, 2016 and concluded that as of that date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. In addition, our management evaluated our internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2016 and concluded that there were material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of that date and that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of that date. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We have not yet remediated these material weaknesses and we believe that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting continue to be ineffective. Until these issues are corrected, our ability to report financial results or other information required to be disclosed on a timely and accurate basis may be adversely affected and our financial reporting may continue to be unreliable, which could result in additional misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.

Risks Related to our Business

We face competition and may not be able to compete successfully.

PreAxia may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and the competitive pressures PreAxia faces could harm its business and prospects. Broadly speaking, the market for financial services technology is competitive. There are other providers of components or versions of the Health Card value proposition in the marketplace. Additionally, the level of competition is likely to increase as current competitors improve their product offerings and as new participants enter the market. Many of PreAxia’s current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater name and brand recognition and significantly greater financial, sales, marketing, technical and other resources than PreAxia.

Additionally, these competitors have research and development capabilities that may allow them to develop new or improved products that may compete with products PreAxia markets and distributes. New technologies and the expansion of existing technologies may also increase competitive pressures on PreAxia. Increased competition may result in reduced operating margins as well as loss of market share. This could result in decreased usage of PreAxia’s products and may have a material adverse effect on PreAxia’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may face implementation delays.

10

Most of PreAxia’s customers will be in a testing or preliminary stage of utilizing PreAxia’s products and may encounter delays or other problems in the introduction of PreAxia’s products. A decision not to do so, or a delay in implementation, could result in a delay or loss of related revenue or could otherwise harm PreAxia’s businesses and prospects. PreAxia will not be able to predict when a customer that is in a testing or a preliminary use phase will adopt a broader use of PreAxia’s products.

We may get limited customer feedback respecting products.

PreAxia’s revenue will depend on the number of customers who use PreAxia’s products. Accordingly, the satisfactory design of PreAxia’s product is critical to PreAxia’s business, and any significant product design limitations or deficiencies could harm PreAxia’s business and market acceptance. This limited feedback may not have resulted in an adequate assessment of customer requirements. Therefore, the currently specified features and functionality of PreAxia’s product may not satisfy current or future customer demands. Furthermore, even if PreAxia identifies the feature set required by customers in PreAxia’s market, it may not be able to design and implement products incorporating features in a timely and efficient manner, if at all.

We may face a slowdown in developing markets.

The market for PreAxia’s product is relatively new and continues to evolve. If the market for PreAxia’s product fails to develop and grow, or if PreAxia’s product does not gain market acceptance, PreAxia’s business and prospects will be harmed.

Our ability to keep current with technological changes will impact our ongoing business.

The financial services technology industry is susceptible to technological advances and the introduction of new products utilizing new technologies. Further, the financial services technology industry is also subject to customer preferences and to competitive pressures which can, among other things, necessitate revisions in pricing strategies, price reductions and reduced profit margins. The success of PreAxia will depend on its ability to secure technological superiority in its product and maintain such superiority in the face of new products. No assurances can be given that the product of PreAxia will be commercially viable or that further modification or additional products will not be required in order to meet demands or to make changes necessitated by developments made by competitors which might render the product of PreAxia less competitive, less marketable, or even obsolete over time. The future success of PreAxia will be influenced by its ability to continue to develop new competitive products. There can be no assurance that research and development activities with respect to the development of new products and the improvement of its existing product will prove profitable, or that products or improvements resulting therefrom, if any, will be successfully produced and marketed.

The financial services technology industry is characterized by technological change, changes in user and customer requirements, new product introductions, new technologies, and the emergence of new industry standards and practices that could render PreAxia’s technology obsolete or have a negative impact on sales margins PreAxia’s product may command. PreAxia’s performance will depend, in part, on its ability to enhance its existing product, develop new proprietary technology that addresses the sophisticated and varied needs of its prospective customers, and respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a timely and cost-effective basis. The development of technology entails significant technical and business risks. There can be no assurance that PreAxia will be successful in using new technologies effectively or adapting its product to customer requirements or emerging industry standards.

We require strategic alliances.

PreAxia’s growth and marketing strategies are based, in part, on seeking out and forming strategic alliances and working relationships, as well as the performance of such strategic alliances and working relationships. General criteria to be used to assess potential alliances include the following: industry expertise, reputation and market position, complementary technologies or products, and nature and adequacy of resources.

11

We may have problems with our resolution of product deficiencies.

Difficulties in product design, performance and reliability could result in lost revenue, delays in customer acceptance of PreAxias’s products, and/or lawsuits, and would be detrimental, perhaps materially, to PreAxia’s market reputation. Serious defects are frequently found during the period immediately following the introduction of new products or enhancements to existing products. Undetected errors or performance problems may be discovered in the future. Moreover, known errors which PreAxia considers minor may be considered serious by its customers. If PreAxia’s internal quality assurance testing or customer testing reveals performance issues and/or desirable feature enhancements, PreAxia could postpone the development and release of updates or enhancements to its current product or the release of new products. PreAxia may not be able to successfully complete the development of planned or future products in a timely manner, or to adequately address product defects, which could harm PreAxia’s business and prospects. In addition, product defects may expose PreAxia to liability claims, for which PreAxia may not have sufficient liability insurance. A successful lawsuit against PreAxia could harm its business and financial condition.

We may not be able to effectively manage our growth.

PreAxia may be subject to growth-related risks, including capacity constraints and pressure on its internal systems and controls. PreAxia’s ability to manage its growth effectively will require it to continue to implement and improve its operational and financial systems and to expand, train and manage its employee base. The inability of PreAxia to deal with this growth could have a material adverse impact on its business, operations and prospects. PreAxia may experience growth in the number of its employees and the scope of its operating and financial systems, resulting in increased responsibilities for PreAxia’s personnel, the hiring of additional personnel and, in general, higher levels of operating expenses. In order to manage its current operations and any future growth effectively, PreAxia will also need to continue to implement and improve its operational, financial and management information systems and to hire, train, motivate, manage and retain its employees. There can be no assurance that PreAxia will be able to manage such growth effectively, that its management, personnel or systems will be adequate to support PreAxia’s operations or that PreAxia will be able to achieve the increased levels of revenue commensurate with the increased levels of operating expenses associated with this growth.

12

We have negative cash flow and absence of profits.

PreAxia has not earned any profits to date and there is no assurance that it will earn any profits in the future, or that profitability, if achieved, will be sustained. A significant portion of PreAxia’s financial resources will continue to be directed to the development of its products and to marketing activities. The success of PreAxia will ultimately depend on its ability to generate revenues from its product sales, such that the business development and marketing activities may be financed by revenues from operations instead of external financing.

There is no assurance that future revenues will be sufficient to generate the required funds to continue such business development and marketing activities.

Our directors and officers may face conflicts of interest.

Certain directors and officers of PreAxia may become associated with other reporting issuers or other corporations which may give rise to conflicts of interest. Directors who have a material interest or any person who is a party to a material contract or a proposed material contract with PreAxia are required, subject to certain exceptions, to disclose that interest and generally abstain from voting on any resolution to approve the contract. In addition, the directors are required to act honestly, and in good faith, with a view to the best interests of PreAxia, as the case may be.

Certain of the directors may have, other employment, other business, or time restrictions placed on them and accordingly, these directors will only be able to devote part of their time to the affairs of PreAxia.

PreAxia does not have key man insurance.

PreAxia does not currently have key man insurance in place in respect of any of its senior officers or personnel.

Acquisitions, investments and other strategic transactions could result in operating difficulties, dilution to our investors and other negative consequences.

It is our current intention to engage in and evaluate a wide array of potential strategic transactions, including acquisitions of companies, businesses, intellectual properties, and other assets. As of the date of filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have not yet identified any such strategic transactions. Any of these strategic transactions could be material to our financial condition and results of operations. In our search for opportunities to engage in strategic transactions, we may not be successful in identifying suitable opportunities. We may not be able to consummate potential acquisitions or investments, or an acquisition or investment may not enhance our business or may decrease rather than increase our earnings. In addition, the process of integrating an acquired company or business, or successfully exploiting acquired intellectual property or other assets, could divert a significant amount of our management’s time and focus and may create unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures.

Additional risks we may face include:

13

Future acquisitions and investments could involve the issuance of our equity securities, potentially diluting our existing stockholders, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities or amortization expenses, write-offs of goodwill, intangibles, or acquired in-process technology, or other increased expenses, any of which could harm our financial condition. Our stockholders may not have the opportunity to review, vote on or evaluate future acquisitions or investments.

Fluctuations in quarterly operating results lead to unpredictability of revenue and earnings.

The timing of the release of health care payments processing products and services can cause material quarterly revenue and earnings fluctuations. A significant portion of revenue in any quarter may be derived from sales of products and services introduced in that quarter or established in the immediately preceding quarter. If we are unable to begin to generate sales of products and services during the scheduled quarter, our revenue and earnings will be negatively affected in that period. Quarterly operating results also may be materially impacted by factors, including the level of market acceptance, or demand for health payment processing products and services and the level of development and/or promotion expenses for health payment processing products and services. Consequently, if net revenue in a period is below expectations, our operating results and financial position in that period are likely to be negatively affected, as has occurred in the past.

Risks Related to our Common Stock

There is currently no trading market for our common stock.

There is currently no trading market for our common stock. Our common stock is not quoted on any exchange or inter-dealer quotation system. There is no trading market for our common stock and our common stock may never be included for trading on any stock exchange or through any quotation system (including, without limitation, the NASDAQ Stock Market and the OTC Bulletin Board). You may not be able to sell your shares due to the absence of a trading market. Any market that develops for our common stock likely will be illiquid and the price of our common stock could be subject to volatility related or unrelated to our operations.

A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital, it may adversely impact our ability to continue operations and we may go out of business.

A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because we may attempt to acquire a significant portion of the funds we need in order to conduct our planned operations through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be detrimental to our liquidity and our operations because the decline may cause investors to not choose to invest in our stock. If we are unable to raise the funds we require for all our planned operations, we may be forced to reallocate funds from other planned uses and may suffer a significant negative effect on our business plan and operations, including our ability to develop new products and continue our current operations. As a result, our business may suffer, and not be successful and we may go out of business. We also might not be able to meet our financial obligations if we cannot raise enough funds through the sale of our common stock and we may be forced to go out of business.

Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our shares of common stock in the near future, our shareholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the near future. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as the board of directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend. Unless we pay dividends, our shareholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations which may limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these 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 agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General Overview

Our company undertakes all of its operations through PreAxia Canada, our wholly-owned subsidiary. PreAxia Canada is a company which intends to deliver a comprehensive suite of solutions and services directed at the emerging health payment market, specifically the opportunities tied to the growth of HSAs. There is a rapid shift in healthcare traditional payment models to consumer-directed healthcare that is creating significant opportunities for financial services and insurance industries to deliver new dynamic products to this emerging market.

8

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 growth conduct, studies suggest that HSA’s in the US reached $30 billion in assets and 16.7 million consumers in 2015, an increase of more than 20% over the prior year. This coupled with the continued growth of the Canadian group insurance industry illustrates the emerging opportunity for innovative health payment services. We intend to initially launch our products in Canada. We believe that Canadian businesses are embracing a new healthcare financing vehicle to control costs, increase profitability and get more return from their investment. We intend to provide them with services to capture this market opportunity.

Plan of Operation

Over the next twelve months, we plan to:

 (a)Raise additional capital to execute our business plans, and;
   
 (b)To penetrate the health payment processing market in Canada, and worldwide, by continuing to develop innovative health payment processing products and services, and;
   
 (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$1,450,000 in implementing our business plan of developing and marketing of health care processing products and services. We do not expect to generate any revenues during the coming year. Therefore, we will be required to raise a total of $3,222,400$2,850,196 to complete our business plan and pay our existing outstanding debts of approximately $1,672,400.$1,407,804. Our working capital requirements for both our company and PreAxia Canada for the next twelve months are estimated at $1,550,000$1,450,000 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

Estimated Expenses  
General and Administrative $300,000 
Research and Development $200,000 
Marketing and Education $850,000 
Professional Services $100,000 
Total $1,450,000 

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

 1.General and AdministrativeWe anticipate spending approximately $300,000 on general and administration costs in the next twelve months, which will include office rent, office supplies, transfer agents, filing fees, bank service charges, salary for our administrator, interest expense and travel, which includes airfare, meals, car rentals and accommodations.
 9 

 2.Research and DevelopmentWe anticipate that we may spend approximately $450,000$200,000 in the next twelve months in the maintenance of our development and additional acquisition of software for our processing services and products.
   
 3.Marketing and EducationWe anticipate spending approximately $450,000$850,000 on the costs of staff and personnel marketing and promoting our company, our products and services, and educating the public to attract new accounts, including staff and personnel.
   
 4.Professional ServicesWe anticipate that we may spend up to $350,000$100,000 in cash and/or stock based compensation over the next twelve months for professional services, consulting fees, accounting, auditing and legal fees.

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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of May 31, 2016,2018, we had a cash balance of $7,151$7,608 compared to $3,062,$8,779, as at May 31, 2015.2017. PreAxia Canada will be required to raise capital to fund our operations. We had a working capital deficit of $1,665,249$1,400,196 as of May 31, 20162018 compared with a working capital deficit of $1,732,715 as$1,198,480 of May 31, 2015.2017.

Our company currently has little cash on hand. 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. Our company’s cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the next twelve monthtwelve-month period. We will not initially have any cash flow from operating activities as we are in the start-up stage with PreAxia Canada. We project that we will require an estimated additional $3,215,249$2,850,196 over the next twelve monthtwelve-month period to fund our operating cash shortfall calculated as $1,665,249$1,400,196 to cover our working capital deficit plus $1,550,000$1,450,000 for our projected cash request for the upcoming year ended May 31, 2016.2019. 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 our company may determine.

19

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.

10

Our financial condition as at May 31, 20162018 and May 31, 20152017 and the changes between those periods for the respective items are summarized as follows:

Working Capital

Working Capital (Deficit) $(1,400,196) $(1,198,480)

Office and Administration

Our office and administration expenses decreasedincreased by $1,491$1,667 in the year ended May 31, 20162018 compared to the year ended May 31, 2015,2017, due to an increase in travel expenses offset by a decrease in travel expenses andother general and administration expenses.

Research and development

Research and Development expenses increaseddecreased by $31,643$16,676 for the year ended May 31, 20162018 compared to the year ended May 31, 2015,2017, as a result of software upgradesa reduction in research and other required program updates.development activities.

Amortization

Amortization decreased by $34,050 in the year ended May 31, 2018 as a result of the assets related to the amortization were fully amortized in the year ended May 31, 2017.

12

Wages and benefits

There were no wages and benefits for the year ended May 31, 20162018 or the year ended May 31, 2015.2017.

Rent

There were no rent expenses for the year ended May 31, 20162018 or for the year ended May 31, 2015,2017, as a result of the Calgary office closing.

We have historically incurred losses and have incurred a loss of $3,695,626$4,159,364 from inception to May 31, 2016.2018. Because of these historical losses, we will require additional working capital to develop our business operations. We intend to raise additional working capital through private placements, public offerings, bank financing and/or advances from related parties or shareholder loans.

The continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing and achieving a break even or 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 or future stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

There are no assurances that we will be able to either (i) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (ii) obtain additional financing through either private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to us. If adequate working capital is not available, we may cease operations.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Preaxia Health Care Payment Systems, Inc., (the Company) as of May 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PreAxia Health Care Payment Systems (the “Company”) as of May 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended May 31, 2018 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 as of May 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended May 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These 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.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position ofPreaxia Health Care Payment Systems, Inc. as of May 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit and has suffered recurring losses from operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has not established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating expenses. This factor, among others, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies

This summary of significant accounting policies of PreAxia Health Care Payment Systems Inc. (the “Company”) is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, which are stated in U.S. Dollars.

Organization

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

On May 30, 2008, the Company finalized the execution of an acquisition agreement dated April 22, 2008 (the “Acquisition Agreement”) between PreAxia, PreAxia Canada (formerly H Pay Card Inc.), Tiempo, Kimberley Coonfer (“Coonfer”), Caribbean Overseas Investments Ltd. (“Caribbean”) and the stockholders of PreAxia Canada (the “PreAxia Canada Stockholders”). Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, PreAxia acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of PreAxia Canada resulting in PreAxia Canada becoming a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of PreAxia. Upon the acquisition of PreAxia Canada by PreAxia, PreAxia issued the stockholders of PreAxia Canada an aggregate of 12,000,000 shares of the common stock of PreAxia. Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s subsidiary, Tiempo (the “Tiempo Shares”) were transferred to Coonfer and Caribbean in exchange for the return of treasury of a total of 5,000,000 common shares of PreAxia (the “Cancellation Shares”). The Cancellation Shares were exchanged for the Tiempo Shares and $100,000 of the intercompany debt between Tiempo and PreAxia was written off on the books of Tiempo and PreAxia, and Tiempo provided a promissory note for the remaining intercompany debt between Tiempo and PreAxia in the amount of $49,281. As of May 30, 2008, Tiempo is no longer a subsidiary of PreAxia, PreAxia Canada Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PreAxia. PreAxia Canada Inc. Stockholders received an aggregate of 12,000,000 shares of PreAxia’s common stock representing 78.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. Tom Zapatinas, an Officer and Director of PreAxia Health Care Payment Systems Inc., is also an Officer and Director of PreAxia Canada Inc. He disclosed such information and interest in this transaction to the Board of Directors prior to the conclusion of this transaction.

As a result, the consolidated results of operations presented at May 31, 20162018 and 20152017 are those of the Company and PreAxia Canada Inc. PreAxia Canada Inc. was incorporated pursuant to the laws of the Province of Alberta on January 28, 2008. Since inception of PreAxia Canada Inc., its business objective has been the development, distribution, marketing and sale of health care payment processing services and products.

Nature and Continuance of Operations

The Company has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations.

Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)2018 and 2017

Nature and Continuance of Operations (Continued) (Continued)

The primary operations of the Company will eventually be undertaken by 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.

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. At May 31, 2016, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $3,695,626 since inception, has negative working capital of $1,665,249 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.

Use of Estimates in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements

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

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

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

Principles of Consolidation

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

Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization. Related party balances are not recorded at fair value because they are by nature not arm’s length transactions subject to normal market rates.

Fair Value Estimates

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

·Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer concluded that, as of May 31, 2016,2018, the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The ineffectiveness of our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures was due to the existence of material weaknesses identified below.

Disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 14d-14(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting reliability and financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our company’s internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2016.2018. In making the assessment, management used the criteria issued by theCommittee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO - 2013) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of May 31, 2016,2018, our Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

Management has identified the following material weaknesses:

25

We intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make the necessary improvements to remediate these material weaknesses. In particular, we intend to hire staff with U.S. GAAP expertise if we can obtain additional financing and hire professionals to prepare and complete the filing of our corporate tax returns.

15

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

Corporate Governance relates to the activities of the Board of Directors. National Policy 58-201 establishes corporate governance guidelines which apply to all public companies. The Corporation has reviewed its owncorporate governance practices in light of these guidelines. In certain cases, the Corporation’s practices comply with the guidelines, however, the Board considers that some of the guidelines are not suitable for the Corporation at its current stage of development and therefore these guidelines have not been adopted. National Policy 58-201 mandates disclosure of corporate governance practices which disclosure is set out below. The Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices in the interest of its shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision making. The Corporation will continue to review and implement corporate governance guidelines as the business of the Corporation progresses.

 

29

Independence of Members of Board

The Corporation’s Board consists of one director,two directors, Paul Verberne and Tom Zapatinas. Of which Tom Zapatinas who is not independent as he is the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation.

Management Supervision by Board

The size of the Corporation is such that all of the Corporation’s operations are conducted by a small management team which is also represented on the Board. The Board considers that management is effectively supervised by the director on an informal basis as the director is actively and regularly involved in reviewing the operations of the Corporation and has regular and full access to management.

Other Directorships

Paul Verberne or Tom Zapatinas is not a director of any other reporting issuers.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board does not have a formal orientation or education program for its members. New Board members are provided with information respecting the functioning of the Board of Directors, audit committee, access to all of the publicly filed documents of the Corporation and complete access to management and the Corporation’s professional advisors.

20

Board members are encouraged to communicate with management and the auditors, to keep themselves current with industry trends and developments and changes in legislation with the Corporation’s assistance, to attend industry seminars and to visit the Corporation’s operations. Board members have full access to the Corporation’s records and legal counsel.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board believes good corporate governance in an integral component to the success of the Corporation and to meet responsibilities to shareholders.

At present the Board has not adopted guidelines or stipulations or a code to encourage and promote a culture of ethical business conduct due to the size of its Board and its limited activities. The Corporation does promote ethical business conduct through the nomination of Board members it considers ethical.

Nomination of Directors

The Board has responsibility for identifying and assessing potential Board candidates. Recruitment of new directors has generally resulted from recommendations made by directors, management and shareholders. The Board assesses potential Board candidates to fill perceived needs on the Board for required skills, expertise, independence and other factors.

Compensation of Directors and the CEO

The directors decide as a Board the compensation for the Corporation’s directors and officers. Compensation payable is determined by considering compensation paid for directors and CEOs of companies of similar size and stage of development in the health care payment industry and determining appropriate compensation reflecting the need to provide incentive and compensation for the time and effort expended by the directors and senior management while taking into account the financial and other resources of the Corporation. In setting the compensation, the performance of the CEO is reviewed in light of the Corporation’s objectives and other factors that may have impacted the success of the Corporation.

30

Board Committees

The Corporation has an Audit Committee (see section entitled “Audit Committee”)

The Board is of the view that the size of the Corporation’s operations does not warrant additional committees at this stage of the Corporation’s development.

Assessments

The Board does not consider that formal assessments would be useful at this stage of the Corporation’s development.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide us with copies of those filings.
