Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies | 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 Companys consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Companys 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 Companys 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 PreAxias 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, 2016 and 2015 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. 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 Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Companys 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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. 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. 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. Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are expensed in the year in which they are incurred. Intangible Software Costs Intangible software costs are amortized over a three year period starting June 2014. Amortization for the year ended May 31, 2016 and 2015 was $34,050 and $34,050, respectively. Impairment of Long-lived Assets 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. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Companys 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 arms 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 entitys 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 · Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. · Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of May 31, 2016. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. New Accounting Standards Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued or updated. No new standards or updates had any material effect on these consolidated financial statements. The accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to the date of these consolidated financial statements that were considered significant by management were evaluated for the potential effect on these consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe any of the subsequent pronouncements will have a material effect on these consolidated financial statements as presented. Other The Company has selected May 31 as its year-end and the Company paid no dividends in 2016. Going Concern The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred cumulative net losses of ($3,695,626) since inception, and currently has no sales. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the design, development and commercialization of its health care payment processing services and products. Management has plans to seek additional capital through private placements of its common stock. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. |
