P1an of Operation

During the next twelve months, the Company plans to continue to grow the Rehabilitation and detox business organically or through acquisitions, should any opportunities present themselves.

Acquisition of Edgewater Recovery Centers, LLC

On October 22, 2024, we, through a wholly owned subsidiary, Aria Kentucky, entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire the business of Edgewater Recovery Centers, LLC ("ERC") from ERC and John Elam (the "Seller"), located in Morehead and Paducah, Kentucky through a purchase of the assets of ERC, including but not limited to all current assets existing at the time of closing, all cash balances and rights to receive cash, all equipment, machinery, all warranties related to the business and acquired assets, all intangible personal property, intellectual property, all business inventories, all property leases associated with the business, all assumed contracts, all governmental authorizations; and all information and records, including patient records, as defined in the APA. Certain of the real prop associated with the operations of is fully leveraged and requires credit and personal guarantees which the Company is unable to provide. The entities owning the real property were acquired in a separate transaction by BH Properties, a company controlled by Mr. Shawn Leon, the Company's CEO and therefore a related party. BH Properties through its acquired subsidiaries then entered into lease agreements with ARIA Kentucky on an arms-length basis, at market related rates.

On January 9, 2025, we consummated the Acquisition of the Acquired Assets of ERC. Pursuant to the terms of the APA, at closing ARIA Kentucky paid the Seller $250,000 and assumed certain liabilities related to the Acquired Assets, including trade payables and liabilities under assumed contracts and certain specifically identified liabilities, including a settlement agreement with the United States government and the State of Kentucky and certain obligations as a borrower or guarantor related to banking obligations.

The balance of the increase of $16,407 is primarily due to general inflationary increases of several individually insignificant expense line items

The increase is primarily due to the additional rent incurred at the Boca Cove detox facility of $95,256 which was acquired in June 2024, additional rental expense incurred for a residential property in West Palm Beach of $11,965 and annual rental escalations on the existing West Palm Beach facility and the Boca Raton facility.
Professional fees were $356,112 and $150,550 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an increase of $205,562 or 136.5%.

The increase in operating loss is primarily due to an increase in patient revenues of $135,593, offset by an increase in operating expenses from existing operations by $489,766, as discussed above. The additional revenues from the Boca Raton facility was not sufficient to cover increased operating costs as revenue and patient count takes time to reach profitable levels, whilst a full complement of staff and a certain level of fixed operational expenses are incurred from the outset.

Interest expense on the existing business was $200,829 and $93,186 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an increase of $107,643, primarily due to an increase in interest expense related to default interest on letter of credit funding and additional interest on Series R promissory notes which were entered into during the period March to May 2024, and interest on promissory notes issued to acquire the assets of the Boca Raton facility and the minority shareholders interest in the prior year.

Amortization of debt discount

Amortization of debt discount was $129,882 and $63,162 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, a decrease of $66,720 or 105.6%. The amortization of debt discount relates primarily to short-term receivables funding. In the current period the Company increased its receivables funding to fund working capital prior to the Boca Raton facility becoming operational while the Company, in the prior year receivables funding balances were significantly higher in the current period.

Foreign exchange movements

The cash used in operating activities from the existing business was $203,839 and $106,569 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, an increase of $97,270.

The decrease is primarily due to the following:

An increase in net loss of $510,894, as discussed under results of operations above.
Offset by an increase in the movement of non-cash items of $440,511, primarily due to the movement in the right of use asset of $198,106, the movement in provision for credit losses of $103,012, which relates to the acquisition of the business of ERC, the movement in depreciation and amortization of $85,015 and the movement in amortization of debt discount of $66,720.
Working capital movements increased by $102,936 primarily due to a decrease in the movement of accounts payable and accrued liability balances of $383,776, an increase in related party accruals of $47,758 offset by a decrease in operating liability movement of $(178,404) and the movement in accounts receivable balances of $(180,187).

Cash provided by investing activities was $12,152 and cash used in investing activities was $52,462 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In the current period, we acquired the business of ERC for gross proceeds of $250,000 add back cash on acquisition of $299,492, resulting in a net cash generated on acquisition of $49,492.

Cash provided by financing activities was $26,566 and $238,014 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

During the prior period we raised funding from promissory notes of $302,000 and $87,898 from related parties, offset by the repayment of receivables funding of $146,067.

Over the next twelve months we estimate that the Company will require approximately $0.5 million in working capital as it continues to develop its Florida and Kentucky operations. We are also exploring several other treatment center options and sources of patients throughout the country. The Company may have to raise equity or secure debt. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful with future financing ventures, and the inability to secure such financing may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition.

Going Concern

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP applicable to a going concern, which assumes that we will be able to meet our obligations and continue our operations in the normal course of business. At March 31, 2025, we had a working capital deficiency of $11.7 million, and total liabilities in excess of assets in the amount of $8.3 million. We believe that current available resources will not be sufficient to fund our planned expenditures over the next 12 months. Accordingly, we will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of common shares, and/or debt financing in order to implement our business plan and generate sufficient revenue in excess of costs. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity, stockholders will experience dilution, and such securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of common stock or convertible senior notes. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt, we may be subject to limitations on our operations, through debt covenants or other restrictions. If we obtain additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or strategic partners, we may be required to relinquish our rights to certain geographical areas, or techniques that it might otherwise seek to retain. There is no assurance that we will be successful with future financing ventures, and the inability to secure such financing may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The recent Accounting Pronouncements are fully disclosed in note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have an effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Off balance sheet arrangements

We do not maintain off-balance sheet arrangements nor do we participate in non-exchange traded contracts requiring fair value accounting treatment.

Inflation

The effect of inflation on our revenue and operating results was not significant.

Climate Change

We believe that neither climate change, nor governmental regulations related to climate change, have had, or are expected to have, any material effect on our operations.
