NOTE 1. OVERVIEW AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2015. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements have been omitted.

 

Parallax Health Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 6, 2005.  The Company’s principal focus is on personalized patient care, through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, RoxSan Pharmacy, Inc. ("RoxSan"), and through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Parallax Diagnostics Inc., which holds the right, title, and interest in perpetuity to certain point of care diagnostic tests.  The Company's diagnostic testing platform is capable of diagnosing and monitoring several health issues.

 

On August 13, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with RoxSan Pharmacy, Inc., a California corporation, and its sole shareholder, Shahla Melamed, to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of RoxSan's common stock and its assets and inventory. As a result, effective August 13, 2015, RoxSan became the Company's wholly owned subsidiary (Note 11).  Concurrently, Mrs. Melamed resigned from all positions within RoxSan, and Mr. J. Michael Redmond was appointed RoxSan's President and Chief Executive Officer, and Ms. Calli Bucci its Chief Financial Officer.  Mr. Redmond and Ms. Bucci were also appointed as Chairman and member, respectively, of RoxSan’s board of directors.

 

On July 6, 2017, Mr. J. Michael Redmond was terminated as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company and resigned as chairman and member of the board of directors, pursuant to his employment agreement.  Effective July 7, 2017, Mr. Paul R. Arena was appointed as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company and elected as a member of the board of directors.

 

The Company has the following two business segments: Retail Pharmacy Services (RPS) and Corporate.

 

Retail Pharmacy Services (RPS)

The RPS provides a full range of pharmacy services including retail, compounding and fertility medications. 

 

The RPS generates net revenues primarily by dispensing prescription drugs, both through local channels by direct delivery as well as mail order. The RPS also sells a wide assortment of general merchandise, including over-the-counter drugs, beauty products and cosmetics, seasonal merchandise and convenience foods, through the Company’s pharmacy.

 

The pharmacy is fully licensed and qualified to conduct business in over 40 US States. 

 

Corporate

The Corporate Segment provides management and administrative services to support the Company, and consists of certain aspects of the Company’s executive management, corporate relations, legal, compliance, human resources, and corporate information technology and finance departments.  In addition, the Corporate Segment supports the costs and operating expenses related to the continued development and exploitation of the Company's proprietary medical diagnostic and monitoring platform and processes, which remains the Company's primary focus. 

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 that effect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Going Concern

The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $8,607,751, and a working capital deficit of $103,091, and further losses are anticipated. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, which may not be available at commercially reasonable terms  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate profitable operations and/or continue to raise funds, in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations and the Company may cease operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown. The 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 as a going concern.

 

NOTE: The following notes and any further reference made to “the Company”, "we", "us", "our" and "Parallax" shall mean Parallax Health Sciences, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Parallax Diagnostics, Inc. and RoxSan Pharmacy, Inc., unless otherwise indicated.
