Financial Performance for the nine months ended September 30, 2020

Increase in Clinic revenues – The increase is attributed to the acquisition of Sun Valley in 2019 and the addition of 5 clinics for the full reporting period.

Increase in Direct clinic expenses – This increase above prior year is attributable to the increase in number of patient visits and the related physician costs.

Decrease in Loss from operations – This decrease in net loss from operations primarily attributable to an increase in clinic profitability with the acquisition of Sun Valley and a decrease in salaries and benefits, legal and professional fees and non-cash share-based payments expense.

Loss from operations for the quarter – The loss for the quarter is comparable to the loss for the same quarter in 2019. While able to reduce legal and professional fees for the quarter, there was an increase in direct clinic costs. This issue was addressed subsequent to the quarter by changing the compensation structure of the clinic’s physicians.

Please refer to the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and accompanying Management Discussion and Analysis for a full review of the operations.
