NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the ~~Six~~Nine Months Ended ~~February 28,~~May 31, 2021 and ~~February 29,~~May 31, 2020 (unaudited)

Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization and Line of Business

Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. (“Novo Integrated”) was incorporated in Delaware on November 27, 2000, under the name Turbine Truck Engines, Inc. On February 20, 2008, the Company was re-domiciled to the State of Nevada. Effective July 12, 2017, the Company’s name was changed to Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. When used herein, the terms the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Novo Integrated and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company owns Canadian and U.S. subsidiaries which deliver, or intend to deliver, multidisciplinary primary health care related services and ~~products~~product solutions through the integration of medical technology, advanced therapeutics and rehabilitative science. ~~Currently,~~Through May 2021, the Company’s revenue is generated solely through its wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, Novo Healthnet Limited (“NHL”), which provides our services and ~~products~~product solutions through both clinic and eldercare related operations.

Our clinicians and practitioners provide certain multidisciplinary primary health care services, and related products, beyond the medical doctor first level contact identified as primary care. Our clinicians and practitioners are not licensed medical doctors, physicians, specialist, nurses or nurse practitioners. Our clinicians and practitioners are not authorized to practice primary care medicine and they are not medically licensed to prescribe pharmaceutical based product solutions.

NHL’s team of multidisciplinary primary health care clinicians and practitioners provide assessment, diagnosis, treatment, pain management, rehabilitation, education and primary prevention for a wide array of orthopedic, musculoskeletal, sports injury, and neurological conditions across various demographics including pediatric, adult, and geriatric populations through NHL’s 16 corporate-owned clinics, a contracted network of affiliate clinics, and eldercare related long-term care homes, retirement homes, and community-based locations in Canada.

Additionally, we continue to expand our patient care philosophy of maintaining an on-going continuous connection with our patient community, beyond the traditional confines of brick and mortar facilities, by extending oversight of patient diagnosis, care and monitoring, directly through various Medical Technology Platforms either in-use or under development.

We believe that “decentralizing” healthcare, through the integration of medical technology and interconnectivity offers an essential solution to the fundamental transformation of healthcare delivery. Specific to non-critical care, ongoing advancements in both medical technology and inter-connectivity are allowing for a shift of the patient/practitioner relationship to the patient’s home and away from on-site visits to primary medical centers with mass-services. This acceleration of “ease-of-access” in the patient/practitioner interaction for non-critical care diagnosis and subsequent treatment minimizes the degradation of non-critical health conditions to critical conditions as well as allowing for more cost-effective healthcare distribution.

Our specialized multidisciplinary primary health care services include physiotherapy, chiropractic care, manual/manipulative therapy, occupational therapy, eldercare, massage therapy (including pre- and post-partum), acupuncture and functional dry needling, chiropody, stroke and traumatic brain injury/neurological rehabilitation, kinesiology, vestibular therapy, concussion management and baseline testing, trauma sensitive yoga and meditation for concussion-acquired brain injury and occupational stress-PTSD, women’s pelvic health programs, sports medicine therapy, assistive devices, dietitian, holistic nutrition, fall prevention education, sports team conditioning programs including event and game coverage, and private personal training.

The occupational therapists, physiotherapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, chiropodists and kinesiologists contracted, by NHL, to provide occupational therapy, physical therapy and fall prevention assessment services are registered with the College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario, the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario, College of Chiropractors of Ontario, College of Massage Therapists of Ontario, College of Chiropodists of Ontario, and the College of Kinesiologists of Ontario regulatory authorities.

Our strict adherence to public regulatory standards, as well as self-imposed standards of excellence and regulation, have allowed us to navigate with ease through the industry’s licensing and regulatory framework. Compliant treatment, data and administrative protocols are managed through a team of highly trained, certified health care and administrative professionals. We and our affiliates provide service to the Canadian property and casualty insurance industry, resulting in a regulated framework governed by the Financial Services Commission of Ontario.

Reverse Stock Split

On February 1, 2021, the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of our common stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, every 10 shares of issued and outstanding common stock were exchanged for one share of common stock, with any fractional shares being rounded up to the next higher whole share. Unless otherwise noted, the share and per share information in this report have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the 1-for-10 reverse stock split.

Impact of COVID-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. While initially the outbreak was largely concentrated in China and caused significant disruptions to its economy, it has now spread to several other countries and infections have been reported globally.

On March 17, 2020, as a result of COVID-19 infections having been reported throughout both Canada and the United States, certain national, provincial, state and local governmental authorities issued proclamations and/or directives aimed at minimizing the spread of COVID-19. Accordingly, on March 17, 2020, the Company closed all corporate clinics for all in-clinic non-essential services to protect the health and safety of its employees, partners and patients. On March 20, 2020, the Company announced the precautionary measures taken as well as announcing the business impact related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Operating under COVID-19 related governmental proclamations and directives, between March 17, 2020 and June 1, 2020, the Company provided in-clinic multi-disciplinary primary healthcare services and products solely to patients with emergency and essential need while also providing certain virtual based services related to physiotherapy. In light of most eldercare related services being deemed essential by national, provincial and local governmental authorities in Canada, NHL’s contracted eldercare related services have been nominally impacted during the fiscal year 2021 ~~first and second quarter~~initial 9-month period ended May 31, 2021 and we project the same for the fiscal year 2021 ~~third and~~ fourth quarter.

On May 26, 2020, the Ontario Ministry of Health announced updated guidance and directives stating that physiotherapists, chiropractors and other regulated health professionals, including all services and products provided by the Company, can gradually and carefully begin providing all services, including non-essential services, once the clinician and provider are satisfied all necessary precautions and protocols are in place to protect the patients, the clinician and the clinic staff. With all corporate clinics closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the exception of providing certain limited essential and emergency services, the Company had furloughed 48 full-time employees and 35 part-time employees from its pre-closure levels of 81 full-time employees and 53 part-time employees.

On June 2, 2020, the Company commenced opening its corporate clinics and providing non-essential services. As of June 9, 2020, the Company had opened all corporate clinics while following all mandated guidelines and protocols from Health Canada, the Ontario Ministry of Health, and the respective disciplines’ regulatory Colleges to ensure a safe treatment environment for our staff and clients. Certain of these guidelines and protocols include both active and passive screening for staff and clients, enhanced cleaning measures using only Health Canada approved disinfectants and sanitizers, personal protective equipment usage, appropriate signage and markers throughout the clinics, and layout changes to the clinics to reflect proper physical distancing measures. Additional, more restrictive proclamations and/or directives may be issued in the future.

~~With~~As of the date of filing this 10-Q quarterly report form, our clinic facilities have re-opened and are operating under COVID-19 pandemic related mandated guidelines and ~~protocols, for~~protocols. During the ~~month~~May 31, 2021 quarter period, the Ontario provincial government issued a stay at home order, effective from April 8, 2021 through June 2, 2021, which permitted only limited, essential activities outside the home, such as going to the grocery store or pharmacy, ‎accessing health care services (including vaccinations), exercising outdoors, or working if such ‎work cannot be done remotely.

For the quarter period ended ~~February 28,~~May 31, 2021, NHL’s clinic-based ~~patient flow has met and exceeds 82% for~~revenue rebounded 85% compared to the ~~same~~Company��s last fully operational, pre COVID-19 quarter period ended February 29, 2020. In addition, for the ~~month~~quarter period ended ~~February 28,~~May 31, 2021, NHL’s eldercare ~~contract~~contracted services ~~provided has met and exceeds 93% of~~rebounded 94% compared to the ~~same~~Company’s last fully operational, pre COVID-19 quarter period ended February 29, 2020. The Company’s total revenue from all clinic and eldercare related contracted services for the quarter period ended May 31, 2021 rebounded approximately 90% compared to the Company’s last fully operational, pre-COVID-19 quarter period ended February 29, 2020. As of ~~February 28,~~May 31, 2021, the Company has 7870 full-time employees and 5958 part-time employees.

~~Assuming~~Canadian federal and provincial COVID-19 governmental proclamations and directives, including interprovincial travel restrictions, have presented unprecedented challenges to launching our Harvest Gold Farms and Kainai Cooperative joint ventures. Accordingly, the Company has decided to delay commencing the projects until the 2022 grow season. These joint ventures relate to the development, management, and arrangement of medicinal farming projects involving industrial hemp for medicinal Cannabidiol (CBD) applications.

For fiscal year 2021 and beyond, based on no additional “lockdowns” or new material directives ~~are~~being implemented ~~limiting~~which may limit the Company’s ability to provide both its clinic and eldercare ~~community~~ related contracted services ~~for fiscal year 2021~~and products, the Company projects a steady ~~month-over-month~~quarter-to-quarter increase as (i) recommended guidelines for ~~patient-clinician~~patient-practitioner on-site interaction are eased, and (ii) more overall movement restrictions are reduced and people are more comfortable in public spaces.

The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations remains unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and any additional preventative and protective actions that governments, or the Company, may direct, which may result in an extended period of continued business disruption, reduced patient traffic and reduced operations. The full long-term financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but is anticipated to have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The measures taken to date ~~will~~may continue to impact the Company’s fiscal year 2021 business and potentially beyond. Management expects that all of its business segments, across all of its geographies, ~~will~~may continue to be impacted to some degree, but the significance of the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company’s business and the duration for which it may have an impact cannot be determined at this time.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, the results of its operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP were omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

The financial information contained in this report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020, that the Company filed on December 9, 2020. The results of operations for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~February 28,~~May 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending August 31, 2021. The Company’s Canadian subsidiaries’ functional currency is the Canadian Dollar (“CAD”); however, the accompanying consolidated financial statements were translated and presented in United States Dollars (“$” or “USD”).

Foreign Currency Translation

The accounts of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries are maintained in CAD. The accounts of these subsidiaries are translated into USD in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 830, Foreign Currency Transaction, with the CAD as the functional currency. According to Topic 830, all assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statement of operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The following table details the exchange rates used for the respective periods:

	February 28, 2021		February 29, 2020		August 31, 2020		May 31, 2021		May 31, 2020		August 31, 2020

Period end: CAD to USD exchange rate	$	0.7851	$	0.7456	$	0.7674	$	0.8284	$	0.7263	$	0.7674

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed 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 condensed 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. This applies in particular to useful lives of non-current assets, impairment of non-current assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and entities it controls including its wholly owned subsidiaries, NHL, Novomerica Health Group, Novo Healthnet Rehab Limited, Novo Assessments Inc., PRO-DIP, LLC, an 80% controlling interest in Novo Healthnet Kemptville Centre, Inc., a Back on Track Physiotherapy and Health Centre clinic operated by NHL, and a 70% controlling interest in Novo Earth Therapeutics Inc. (currently inactive). All of the Company’s subsidiaries are incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario or New Brunswick, Canada. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

An entity is controlled when the Company has the ability to direct the relevant activities of the entity, has exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity, and is able to use its power over the entity to affect its returns from the entity.

Income or loss and each component of OCI are attributed to the shareholders of the Company and to the noncontrolling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the shareholders of the Company and to the noncontrolling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance on consolidation.

Noncontrolling Interest

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, which governs the accounting for and reporting of non-controlling interests (“NCIs”) in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Certain provisions of this standard indicate, among other things, that NCIs be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability, that increases and decreases in the parent’s ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions rather than as step acquisitions or dilution gains or losses, and that losses of a partially owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to the NCI even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance.

The net income (loss) attributed to the NCI is separately designated in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive 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 ~~February 28,~~May 31, 2021, and August 31, 2020, the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable was ~~$523,261~~$688,063 and $518,031, 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, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets, including right of use assets, used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review at ~~February 28,~~May 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020, the Company believes there was no impairment of its long-lived assets.

Intangible Assets

The Company’s intangible assets consist of land use rights, a software license and intellectual property which will be amortized over 50 (the lease period), 7 and 7 years, respectively. The intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Based on its reviews at ~~February 28,~~May 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020, the Company believes there was no impairment of its intangible assets.

Right-of-use Assets

The Company’s right-of-use assets consist of leased assets recognized in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually all lease contracts. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liability represents the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, both of which are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company determines the lease term by agreement with lessor. In cases where the lease does not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the underlying net assets of businesses acquired. Under U.S. GAAP, goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment tests. The Company recorded goodwill related to its acquisition of APKA Health, Inc. during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2017, Executive Fitness Leaders during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018 and Action Plus Physiotherapy Rockland during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019. Based on its review at August 31, 2020, the Company believes there was no impairment of its goodwill.

The change in the amount of goodwill during the quarter primarily resulted from the foreign currency translation adjustment.

Acquisition Deposits

The Company has signed letters of understanding with a potential acquisition candidate which includes refundable acquisition deposits totaling ~~$392,550~~$414,200 and $383,700 at ~~February 28,~~May 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and due to related parties, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short term maturities.

FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

	●	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, and FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

As of ~~February 28,~~May 31, 2021, and August 31, 2020, respectively, the Company did not identify any financial assets and liabilities required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value, except for cash and cash equivalents which are carried at fair value using Level 1 inputs.

Revenue Recognition

The FASB’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), became effective for the Company on March 1, 2018. The Company’s revenue recognition disclosure reflects its updated accounting policies that are affected by this new standard. The Company applied the “modified retrospective” transition method for open contracts for the implementation of Topic 606. As sales are and have been primarily from providing healthcare services, and the Company has no significant post-delivery obligations, this new standard did not result in a material recognition of revenue on the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the cumulative impact of applying this new standard. The Company made no adjustments to its previously reported total revenues, as those periods continue to be presented in accordance with its historical accounting practices under Topic 605, Revenue Recognition.

Revenue from providing healthcare and healthcare related services is recognized under Topic 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its services to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:

	●	executed contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable;
	●	identification of performance obligations in the respective contract;
	●	determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;
	●	allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation; and
	●	recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

These five elements, as applied to the Company’s revenue category, are summarized below:

●

Healthcare and healthcare related services -– gross service revenue is recorded in the accounting records at the time the services are provided (point in time) on an accrual basis at the provider’s established rates. The Company reserves a provision for contractual adjustment and discounts that are deducted from gross service revenue. The Company reports revenues net of any sales, use and value added taxes.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

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. FASB ASC Topic 718 requires companies to measure compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation at fair value at the grant date and recognize the expense over the requisite service period. The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS assumes that all dilutive securities are converted. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. There were 1,849,600 ~~options/~~options and 2,388,050 warrants outstanding as of ~~February 28,~~May 31, 2021. Due to the net loss incurred, potentially dilutive instruments would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss for all periods presented.

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 CAD. Translation gains of ~~$1,252,524~~$1,376,045 and $1,199,696 at ~~February 28,~~May 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020, 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 consolidated balance sheets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

~~In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13~~ ~~Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments~~, which changes the way entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net earnings. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual periods. The new standard will be effective for our fiscal year beginning September 1, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes which amends ASC 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740). This update is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application of ASC 740. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The guidance in this update has various elements, some of which are applied on a prospective basis and others on a retrospective basis with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40):Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. This update provides guidance for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that is not within the scope of another Topic. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company discounts lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate.

The Company leases its corporate office space and certain facilities under long-term operating leases expiring through fiscal year 2028. Effective March 1, 2019, the Company adopted the provision of ASC 842 Leases.
The table below presents the lease related assets and liabilities recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of ~~February 28,~~May 31, 2021 and August 31, 2020:

Overview of the Company

Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. (“Novo Integrated”) was incorporated in Delaware on November 27, 2000, under the name Turbine Truck Engines, Inc. On February 20, 2008, the Company was re-domiciled to the State of Nevada. Effective July 12, 2017, the Company’s name was changed to Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. When used herein, the terms the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Novo Integrated and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company owns Canadian and U.S. subsidiaries which deliver, or intend to deliver, multidisciplinary primary health care related services and products through the integration of medical technology, advanced therapeutics and rehabilitative science. Currently, the Company’s revenue is generated solely through its wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, Novo Healthnet Limited (“NHL”), which provides our services and products through both clinic and eldercare related operations.
We believe that “decentralizing” healthcare, through the integration of medical technology and interconnectivity, is an essential solution to the rapidly evolving fundamental transformation of how non-catastrophic healthcare is delivered both now and in the future. Specific to non-critical care, ongoing advancements in both medical technology and inter-connectivity are allowing for a shift of the patient/practitioner relationship to the patient’s home and away from on-site visits to primary medical centers with mass-services. This acceleration of “ease-of-access” in the patient/practitioner interaction for non-critical care diagnosis and subsequent treatment minimizes the degradation of non-critical health conditions to critical conditions as well as allowing for more cost-effective healthcare distribution. The Company’s decentralized healthcare business model is centered on three primary pillars to best support the transformation of non-catastrophic healthcare delivery to patients and consumers. The first pillar is building a foundation of traditional hands-on healthcare delivery, through small and micro footprint sized clinic facilities, within a significant service delivery network. The second pillar is the development, integration, and deployment of sophisticated technology, through interconnectivity, which expands the reach of healthcare related service, beyond the traditional clinic location, to geographic areas not readily providing advanced healthcare service to date, including the patient’s home. The third pillar is the development and distribution of effective wellness product solutions allowing for the customization of patient preventative care remedies and ultimately a healthier population. Additionally, the Company’s science first approach to product innovation further emphasizes our mandate to create and provide over-the-counter preventative and maintenance care solutions. Innovation in science as represented by the proprietary technology assures Novo Integrated of continued cutting edge advancement in patient first platforms.

Our clinicians and practitioners provide certain multidisciplinary primary health care services, and related products, beyond the medical doctor first level contact identified as primary care. Our clinicians and practitioners are not licensed medical doctors, physicians, specialist, nurses or nurse practitioners. Our clinicians and practitioners are not authorized to practice primary care medicine and they are not medically licensed to prescribe pharmaceutical based product solutions.

NHL’s team of multidisciplinary primary health care clinicians and practitioners provide assessment, diagnosis, treatment, pain management, rehabilitation, education and primary prevention for a wide array of orthopedic, musculoskeletal, sports injury, and neurological conditions across various demographics including pediatric, adult, and geriatric populations through NHL’s 16 corporate-owned clinics, a contracted network of affiliate clinics, and eldercare related long-term care homes, retirement homes, and community-based locations in Canada.
~~Additionally, we continue to expand our patient care philosophy~~ As of ~~maintaining an on-going continuous connection with our current~~May 31, 2021, the Company has 70 full-time employees and future patient community, beyond the traditional confines of brick and mortar facilities, by extending oversight of patient diagnosis, care and monitoring, directly through various connected Medical Technology Platforms either in-use or under development.

Additionally, we continue to expand our patient care philosophy of maintaining an on-going continuous connection with our current and future patient community, beyond the traditional confines of brick-and-mortar facilities, by extending oversight of patient diagnosis, care and monitoring, directly through various Medical Technology Platforms either in-use or under development.
The occupational therapists, physiotherapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, chiropodists and kinesiologists contracted, by NHL, to provide occupational therapy, physical therapy and fall prevention assessment services are registered with the College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario, the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario, College of Chiropractors of Ontario, College of Massage Therapists of Ontario, College of Chiropodists of Ontario, and the College of Kinesiologists of Ontario regulatory authorities.

Our strict adherence to public regulatory standards, as well as self-imposed standards of excellence and regulation, have allowed us to navigate with ease through the industry’s licensing and regulatory framework. Compliant treatment, data and administrative protocols are managed through a team of highly trained, certified health care and administrative professionals. We and our affiliates provide service to the Canadian property and casualty insurance industry, resulting in a regulated framework governed by the Financial Services Commission of Ontario.

Recent Developments

Coronavirus (COVID-19)

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. While initially the outbreak was largely concentrated in China and caused significant disruptions to its economy, it has now spread to several other countries and infections have been reported globally.

On March 17, 2020, as a result of COVID-19 infections having been reported throughout both Canada and the United States, certain national, provincial, state and local governmental authorities issued proclamations and/or directives aimed at minimizing the spread of COVID-19. Accordingly, on March 17, 2020, the Company closed all corporate clinics for all in-clinic non-essential services to protect the health and safety of its employees, partners and patients. On March 20, 2020, the Company announced the precautionary measures taken as well as announcing the business impact related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Operating under COVID-19 related governmental proclamations and directives, between March 17, 2020 and June 1, 2020, the Company provided in-clinic multi-disciplinary primary healthcare services and products solely to patients with emergency and essential need while also providing certain virtual based services related to physiotherapy. In light of most eldercare related services being deemed essential by national, provincial and local governmental authorities in Canada, NHL’s contracted eldercare related services have been nominally impacted during the fiscal year 2021 ~~first and second quarter~~initial 9-month period ended May 31, 2021 and we project the same for the fiscal year 2021 ~~third and forth~~fourth quarter.

On May 26, 2020, the Ontario Ministry of Health announced updated guidance and directives stating that physiotherapists, chiropractors and other regulated health professionals, including all services and products provided by the Company, can gradually and carefully begin providing all services, including non-essential services, once the clinician and provider are satisfied all necessary precautions and protocols are in place to protect the patients, the clinician and the clinic staff. With all corporate clinics closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the exception of providing certain limited essential and emergency services, the Company had furloughed 48 full-time employees and 35 part-time employees from its pre-closure levels of 81 full-time employees and 53 part-time employees.

On June 2, 2020, the Company commenced opening its corporate clinics and providing non-essential services. As of June 9, 2020, the Company had opened all corporate clinics while following all mandated guidelines and protocols from Health Canada, the Ontario Ministry of Health, and the respective disciplines’ regulatory Colleges to ensure a safe treatment environment for our staff and clients. Certain of these guidelines and protocols include both active and passive screening for staff and clients, enhanced cleaning measures using only Health Canada approved disinfectants and sanitizers, personal protective equipment usage, appropriate signage and markers throughout the clinics, and layout changes to the clinics to reflect proper physical distancing measures. Additional, more restrictive proclamations and/or directives may be issued in the future.

~~With~~As of the date of filing this 10-Q quarterly report form, our clinic facilities have re-opened and are operating under COVID-19 pandemic related mandated guidelines and ~~protocols, for~~protocols. During the ~~month~~May 31, 2021 quarter period, the Ontario provincial government issued a stay at home order, effective from April 8, 2021 through June 2, 2021, which permitted only limited, essential activities outside the home, such as going to the grocery store or pharmacy, ‎accessing health care services (including vaccinations), exercising outdoors, or working if such ‎work cannot be done remotely.
For the quarter period ended ~~February 28,~~May 31, 2021, NHL’s clinic-based ~~patient flow has met and exceeds 82% for~~revenue rebounded 85% compared to the ~~same~~Company’s last fully operational, pre COVID-19 quarter period ended February 29, 2020. In addition, for the ~~month~~quarter period ended ~~February 28,~~May 31, 2021, NHL’s eldercare ~~contract~~contracted services ~~provided has met and exceeds 93% of~~rebounded 94% compared to the ~~same~~Company’s last fully operational, pre COVID-19 quarter period ended February 29, 2020. The Company’s total revenue from all clinic and eldercare related contracted services for the quarter period ended May 31, 2021 rebounded approximately 90% compared to the Company’s last fully operational, pre-COVID-19 quarter period ended February 29, 2020. As of ~~February 28,~~May 31, 2021, the Company has 7870 full-time employees and 5958 part-time employees.
~~Assuming~~Canadian federal and provincial COVID-19 governmental proclamations and directives, including interprovincial travel restrictions, have presented unprecedented challenges to launching our Harvest Gold Farms and Kainai Cooperative joint ventures. Accordingly, the Company has decided to delay commencing the projects until the 2022 grow season. These joint ventures relate to the development, management, and arrangement of medicinal farming projects involving industrial hemp for medicinal Cannabidiol (CBD) applications.
For fiscal year 2021, based on no additional “lockdowns” or new material directives ~~are~~being implemented ~~limiting~~which may limit the Company’s ability to provide both its clinic and eldercare community related services ~~for fiscal year 2021~~and products, the Company projects a steady month-over-month increase as (i) recommended guidelines for patient-clinician on-site interaction are eased, and (ii) more overall movement restrictions are reduced and people are more comfortable in public spaces.

The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations remains unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and any additional preventative and protective actions that governments, or the Company, may direct, which may result in an extended period of continued business disruption, reduced patient traffic and reduced operations. The full long-term financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but is anticipated to have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The measures taken to date ~~will~~may continue to impact the Company’s fiscal year 2021 business and potentially beyond. Management expects that all of its business segments, across all of its geographies, ~~will~~may continue to be impacted to some degree, but the significance of the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company’s business and the duration for which it may have an impact cannot be determined at this time.

For the nine months ended May 31, 2021 compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2020
Revenues for the nine months ended May 31, 2021 were $6,612,374, representing an increase of $596,674, or 9.9%, from $6,015,700 for the same period in 2020. The increase in revenue is principally due to periodic easing of COVID pandemic related restrictions which resulted in our practitioners being able to provide more patients with additional in-person services compared to the March 17 through June 1, 2020 period in which our practitioners were limited to providing their services either remotely or in-person to patients requiring emergency and essential need treatment.

The decrease in cost of revenues is principally due the decrease in revenue as described above. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue was 63.1% for the six months ended February 28, 2021 and 64.7% for same period in 2020. The decrease in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue is principally due to the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) claimed as part of Canada’s COVID-19 Economic Response Plan that offset the salary expense for clinical workers.

Financial Impact of COVID-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. While initially the outbreak was largely concentrated in China and caused significant disruptions to its economy, it has now spread to several other countries and infections have been reported globally.
On March 17, 2020, as a result of COVID-19 infections having been reported throughout both Canada and the United States, certain national, provincial, state and local governmental authorities issued proclamations and/or directives aimed at minimizing the spread of COVID-19. Accordingly, on March 17, 2020, the Company closed all corporate clinics for all in-clinic non-essential services to protect the health and safety of its employees, partners and patients. On March 20, 2020, the Company announced the precautionary measures taken as well as announcing the business impact related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
As a result of certain provincial proclamations and/or directives issued due to the COVID-19 pandemic, NHL’s clinic operations, which historically represent approximately 53% of the Company’s revenue, were closed on March 17, 2020 for all in-clinic non-essential services while only providing certain virtual based and in-clinic emergency services. Operating under COVID-19 related governmental proclamations and directives, between March 17, 2020 and June 1, 2020, the Company provided in-clinic multi-disciplinary primary healthcare services and products solely to patients with emergency and essential need while also providing certain virtual based services related to physiotherapy. In light of most eldercare related services being deemed essential by national, provincial and local governmental authorities in Canada, NHL’s contracted eldercare related services have been nominally impacted during the fiscal year 2021 initial 9-month period ended May 31, 2021 and we project the same for the fiscal year 2021 fourth quarter.
On June 2, 2020, the Company commenced opening its corporate clinics and providing non-essential services. As of June 9, 2020, the Company had opened all corporate clinics while following all mandated guidelines and protocols from Health Canada, the Ontario Ministry of Health, and the respective disciplines’ regulatory Colleges to ensure a safe treatment environment for our staff and ~~clients, the Company commenced re-opening its corporate clinics and providing non-essential services.

During the ~~month~~May 31, 2021 quarter period, the Ontario provincial government issued a stay at home order, effective from April 8, 2021 through June 2, 2021, which permitted only limited, essential activities outside the home, such as going to the grocery store or pharmacy, ‎accessing health care services (including vaccinations), exercising outdoors, or working if such ‎work cannot be done remotely.
For the quarter period ended ~~February 28,~~May 31, 2021, NHL’s clinic-based ~~patient flow has met and exceeds 82% for~~revenue rebounded 85% compared to the ~~same~~Company’s last fully operational, pre COVID-19 quarter period ended February 29, 2020. ~~Assuming~~In addition, for the quarter period ended May 31, 2021, NHL’s eldercare contracted services rebounded 94% compared to the Company’s last fully operational, pre COVID-19 quarter period ended February 29, 2020. The Company’s total revenue from all clinic and eldercare related contracted services for the quarter period ended May 31, 2021 rebounded approximately 90% compared to the Company’s last fully operational, pre-COVID-19 quarter period ended February 29, 2020. As of May 31, 2021, the Company has 70 full-time employees and 58 part-time employees.
Based on the Company’s cash and cash equivalents position of $8,367,045, at May 31, 2021, and assuming no additional “lockdowns” or new material directives ~~impacting~~further restricting (i) clinic-based patient flow and services rendered, ~~the Company projects a steady month-over-month increase in revenue for clinic related services~~ and ~~products.~~

Assuming no additional “lockdowns” or new material directives impacting the Company’s ability to provides eldercare related services rendered, the Company projects ~~a steady month-over-month increase in revenue for eldercare related services.~~
Overall, for the six months ended February 28, 2021, primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s revenue was adversely impacted with a revenue reduction of $746,074 (15.0%) compared to the same period in 2020.no measurable liquidity deficiency.

NHL’s accounts receivable primarily are comprised of third-party major Canadian insurer accounts in which the collection process, while arduous, provides the Company with a high percentage of success for collection. The percentage for “non-collectable” receivables remains at levels that are typical based on historical data review. In addition, the pandemic has allowed for concentrated successful efforts in collecting existing receivables.

Based on all the above noted factors, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents position at February 28, 2021 was $1,698,437 which was less than our cash and cash equivalents position at August 31, 2020 of $2,067,718.

The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations remains unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and any additional preventative and protective actions that governments, or the Company, may direct, which may result in an extended period of continued business disruption, reduced patient traffic and reduced operations. The full long-term financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but is anticipated to have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The measures taken to date will impact the Company’s fiscal year 2021 business and potentially beyond. Management expects that all of its business segments, across all of its geographies, will be impacted to some degree, but the significance of the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company’s business and the duration for which it may have an impact cannot be determined at this time.

Our capital requirements going forward will consist of financing our operations until we are able to reach a level of revenues and gross margins adequate to equal or exceed our ongoing operating expenses. We do not have any credit agreement or source of liquidity immediately available to us.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any 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 investors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

We believe that the following critical policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements.

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. This applies in particular to useful lives of non-current assets, impairment of non-current assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. 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.

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

34
The Company has not changed its estimate for the useful lives of its property and equipment, but would expect that a ~~20% change~~decrease in the estimated useful lives of property and equipment of 20% would result in an annual ~~adjustment~~increase to depreciation expense of approximately ~~$175,000.~~
$60,000, and an increase in the estimated useful lives of property and equipment of 20% would result in an annual decrease to depreciation expense of approximately $40,000.
Intangible Assets

The Company’s intangible assets consist of land use rights, a software license and intellectual property which will be amortized over 50 (the lease period), 7 and 7 years, respectively. The intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. The Company has not changed its estimate for the useful lives of its intangible assets, but would expect that a ~~20% change~~decrease in the estimated useful lives of intangible assets of 20% would result in an annual ~~adjustment~~increase to amortization expense of approximately ~~$370,000.~~$384,000, and an increase in the estimated useful lives of intangible assets of 20% would result in an annual decrease to amortization expense of approximately $256,000.
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. The Company has not changed its methodology for estimating allowance for doubtful accounts and historically the change in estimate has not been significant to the Company’s financial statements. If there is a deterioration of the Company’s customers’ ability to pay or if future write-offs of receivables differ from those currently anticipated, the Company may have to adjust its allowance for doubtful accounts, which would affect earnings in the period the adjustments are made.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The Company has not changed it methodology for estimating the valuation allowance. A change in valuation allowance affect earnings in the period the adjustments are made and could be significant due to the large valuation allowance currently established.

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.
Revenue Recognition

The FASB’s Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), became effective for the Company on March 1, 2018. The Company’s revenue recognition disclosure reflects its updated accounting policies that are affected by this new standard. The Company applied the “modified retrospective” transition method for open contracts for the implementation of Topic 606. As sales are and have been primarily from providing healthcare services, and the Company has no significant post-delivery obligations, this new standard did not result in a material recognition of revenue on the Company’s accompanying consolidated financial statements for the cumulative impact of applying this new standard. The Company made no adjustments to its previously reported total revenues, as those periods continue to be presented in accordance with its historical accounting practices under Topic 605, Revenue Recognition.

Revenue from providing healthcare and healthcare related services are recognized under Topic 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its services to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:

● executed contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable;

● identification of performance obligations in the respective contract;

● determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;

● allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation; and

● recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

These five elements, as applied to the Company’s revenue category, are summarized below:
● Healthcare and healthcare related services - gross service revenue is recorded in the accounting records at the time the services are provided (point-in-time) on an accrual basis at the provider’s established rates. The Company reserves a provision for contractual adjustment and discounts that are deducted from gross service revenue. The Company reports revenues net of any sales, use and value added taxes.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. FASB ASC Topic 718 requires companies to measure compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation at fair value at the grant date and recognize the expense over the requisite service period. The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS assumes that all dilutive securities are converted. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

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 dollar. Translation gains (losses) are classified as an item of other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet.

New Accounting Pronouncements
~~In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13~~ ~~Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments~~, which changes the way entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net earnings. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual periods. The new standard will be effective for our fiscal year beginning September 1, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes which amends ASC 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740). This update is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application of ASC 740. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The guidance in this update has various elements, some of which are applied on a prospective basis and others on a retrospective basis with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40):Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. This update provides guidance for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that is not within the scope of another Topic. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to disclose material changes to the risk factors that were contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 (the “2020 10-K”), as updated from time to time. However, in light of the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, set forth below is a risk factor relating to COVID-19. Other than as set forth below, as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors faced by the Company from those previously disclosed in the 2020 10-K, as updated from time to time.

Public health epidemics or outbreaks could adversely impact our business.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. While initially the outbreak was largely concentrated in China and caused significant disruptions to its economy, it has now spread to several other countries and infections have been reported globally.

On March 17, 2020, as a result of COVID-19 infections having been reported throughout both Canada and the United States, certain national, provincial, state and local governmental authorities issued proclamations and/or directives aimed at minimizing the spread of COVID-19. Accordingly, on March 17, 2020, the Company closed all corporate clinics for all in-clinic non-essential services to protect the health and safety of its employees, partners and patients. On March 20, 2020, the Company announced the precautionary measures taken as well as announcing the business impact related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Operating under COVID-19 related governmental proclamations and directives, between March 17, 2020 and June 1, 2020, the Company provided in-clinic multi-disciplinary primary healthcare services and products solely to patients with emergency and essential need while also providing certain virtual based services related to physiotherapy. In light of most eldercare related services being deemed essential by national, provincial and local governmental authorities in Canada, NHL’s contracted eldercare related services have been nominally impacted during the fiscal year 2021 ~~first and second quarter~~initial 9-month period ended May 31, 2021 and we project the same for the fiscal year 2021 ~~third and~~ fourth quarter.

On May 26, 2020, the Ontario Ministry of Health announced updated guidance and directives stating that physiotherapists, chiropractors and other regulated health professionals, including all services and products provided by the Company, can gradually and carefully begin providing all services, including non-essential services, once the clinician and provider are satisfied all necessary precautions and protocols are in place to protect the patients, the clinician and the clinic staff. With all corporate clinics closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the exception of providing certain limited essential and emergency services, the Company had furloughed 48 full-time employees and 35 part-time employees from its pre-closure levels of 81 full-time employees and 53 part-time employees.
On June 2, 2020, the Company commenced opening its corporate clinics and providing non-essential services. As of June 9, 2020, the Company had opened all corporate clinics while following all mandated guidelines and protocols from Health Canada, the Ontario Ministry of Health, and the respective disciplines’ regulatory Colleges to ensure a safe treatment environment for our staff and clients. Certain of these guidelines and protocols include both active and passive screening for staff and clients, enhanced cleaning measures using only Health Canada approved disinfectants and sanitizers, personal protective equipment usage, appropriate signage and markers throughout the clinics, and layout changes to the clinics to reflect proper physical distancing measures. Additional, more restrictive proclamations and/or directives may be issued in the future.

~~With~~As of the date of filing this 10-Q quarterly report form, our clinic facilities have re-opened and ~~our eldercare contracts~~are operating under COVID-19 pandemic related mandated guidelines and ~~protocols, for~~protocols. During the ~~month~~May 31, 2021 quarter period, the Ontario provincial government issued a stay at home order, effective from April 8, 2021 through June 2, 2021, which permitted only limited, essential activities outside the home, such as going to the grocery store or pharmacy, ‎accessing health care services (including vaccinations), exercising outdoors, or working if such ‎work cannot be done remotely.
For the quarter period ended ~~February 28,~~May 31, 2021, NHL’s clinic-based ~~patient flow has met and exceeds 82% for~~revenue rebounded 85% compared to the ~~same~~Company’s last fully operational, pre COVID-19 quarter period inended February 29, 2020. In addition, for the ~~month~~quarter period ended ~~February 28,~~May 31, 2021, NHL’s eldercare ~~contract~~contracted services ~~provided has met~~rebounded 94% compared to the Company’s last fully operational, pre COVID-19 quarter period ended February 29, 2020. The Company’s total revenue from all clinic and ~~exceeds 93%~~eldercare related contracted services for the ~~same~~quarter period inended May 31, 2021 rebounded approximately 90% compared to the Company’s last fully operational, pre-COVID-19 quarter period ended February 29, 2020. As of ~~February 28,~~May 31, 2021, the Company has 7870 full-time employees and 5958 part-time employees.

~~Based~~Canadian federal and provincial COVID-19 governmental proclamations and directives, including interprovincial travel restrictions, have presented unprecedented challenges to launching our Harvest Gold Farms and Kainai Cooperative joint ventures. Accordingly, the Company has decided to delay commencing the projects until the 2022 grow season. These joint ventures relate to the development, management, and arrangement of medicinal farming projects involving industrial hemp for medicinal Cannabidiol (CBD) applications.
For fiscal year 2021 and beyond, based on no additional “lockdowns” or new material directives ~~are~~being implemented ~~limiting~~which may limit the Company’s ability to provide both its clinic and eldercare ~~community~~ related contracted services ~~for fiscal year 2021~~and products, the Company projects a steady ~~month-over-month~~quarter-to-quarter increase as (i) recommended guidelines for ~~patient-clinician~~patient-practitioner on-site interaction are eased, and (ii) more overall movement restrictions are reduced and people are more comfortable in public spaces.

The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations remains unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and any additional preventative and protective actions that governments, or the Company, may direct, which may result in an extended period of continued business disruption, reduced patient traffic and reduced operations. The full long-term financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but is anticipated to have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The measures taken to date ~~have impacted~~may continue to impact the Company’s fiscal year 2021 business and potentially beyond. ~~All~~Management expects that all of ~~the Company’s~~its business segments, across all of its geographies, ~~have been~~may continue to be impacted to some degree, but the significance of the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company’s business and the duration for which it may have an impact cannot be determined at this time.
