Financial Summary
Financial Performance
Clinic revenues for Q1 2020 and Q1 2019 were $767,803 and $152,846, respectively. This increase above prior year is attributable to the acquisition of Sun Valley and the addition of 5 clinics which drove an increase in patient count from 1,198 in Q1 2019 to 5,717 in Q1 2020.
Direct clinic expenses for Q1 2020 and Q1 2019 were $256,422 and $39,413, respectively. This increase above prior year is attributable to the increase in number of patient visits.
Net loss from operations for Q1 2020 and Q1 2019 were $317,831 and $279,308, respectively. This increase above prior year is primarily attributable to an increase in salaries and benefits with the acquisition of Sun Valley. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in clinic revenues with the acquisition of Sun Valley.
Net loss for Q1 2020 and Q1 2019 were $524,208 and $398,541, respectively. This increase over prior year is primarily attributable to non-cash accretion expense related to the convertible debentures.
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company generated $13,864 in cash from operations after changes in non-cash working capital. The Company used $61,209 for payment of lease liabilities.
