Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, NHL, Novo Peak Health Inc., Novo Healthnet Rehab Limited, Novo Assessments Inc., an 80% interest in Novo Healthnet Kemptville Centre, Inc., a Back on Track Physiotherapy and Health Centre clinic operated by NHL, and a fifty percent stake in a joint venture with the Sophie Freeman Dental Hygiene Professional Corporation operated as Novo Dental. All of the Company’s subsidiaries are incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Noncontrolling Interest The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation, The net income (loss) attributed to the NCI is separately designated in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss). Cash Equivalents For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include time deposits, certificate of deposits, and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are recorded, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentration, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Delinquent account balances are written-off after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable and known bad debts are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when identified. As of November 30, 2017 and August 31, 2017, the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable was $474,376 and $507,636, respectively. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the declining balance method for substantially all assets with estimated lives as follows: Leasehold improvements 5 years Clinical equipment 5 years Computer equipment 3 years Office equipment 5 years Furniture and fixtures 5 years Long-Lived Assets The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the underlying net assets of businesses acquired. Under accounting requirements, goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment tests. The Company recorded goodwill of $388,050 at November 30, 2017 related to its acquisition of Apka Health, Inc. during fiscal year ended August 31, 2017. As of August 31, 2017, the Company performed the required impairment review. Based on its review at August 31, 2017, the Company believes there was no impairment of its goodwill. Acquisition Deposits The Company has signed letters of understanding with two potential acquisition candidates which includes refundable acquisition deposits totaling $1,128,987 at November 30, 2017. Fair Value of Financial Instruments For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, advances to suppliers, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Financial Instruments ● Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. ● Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. ● Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology use one or more unobservable inputs which are significant to the fair value measurement. The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity Derivatives and Hedging As of November 30, 2017 and August 31, 2017, respectively, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value. Revenue Recognition Revenue related to healthcare services provided is recognized at the time services have been performed. Gross service revenue is recorded in the accounting records on an accrual basis at the provider’s established rates, regardless of whether the health care entity expects to collect that amount. The Company will reserve a provision for contractual adjustment and discounts and deduct from gross service revenue. The Company believes that recognizing revenue at the time the services have been performed is appropriate because the Company’s revenue policies meet the following four criteria in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented. Stock-Based Compensation The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share Foreign Currency Transactions and Comprehensive Income U.S. GAAP generally requires recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Certain statements, however, require entities to report specific changes in assets and liabilities, such as gain or loss on foreign currency translation, as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries is the Canadian $. Translation gains of $1,365,031 and $1,240,844 at November 30, 2017 and August 31, 2017, respectively, are classified as an item of other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet. Statement of Cash Flows Cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rates. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets.
