1. | NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Helius Medical Technologies, Inc. ("Helius" or the "Company") is in the development stage and engaged primarily in the medical technology industry focused on neurological wellness. The Company’s planned principal operations include the development, licensing and acquisition of unique and non-invasive platform technologies to amplify the brain’s ability to heal itself. The Company was incorporated in British Columbia, Canada, on March 13, 2014. On May 28, 2014, the Company completed a continuation via a plan of arrangement whereby the Company moved from being a corporation governed by the British Columbia Corporations Act to a corporation governed by the Wyoming Business Corporations Act. The Company’s head office is located at 41 University Drive, Suite 400, Newtown, PA, USA 18940. The Company is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") and began trading on June 23, 2014, under the ticker symbol "HSM". The Company also began trading on the OTCQB under the ticker symbol "HSDT" on February 10, 2015. On June 13, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Neurohabilitation Corporation ("Neuro"), a private company incorporated in Delaware, USA, on January 22, 2013. Prior to the transaction, Helius was a non-operating public shell company. Accordingly, for financial reporting purposes, this transaction was deemed to be a capital transaction in substance and recorded as a reverse recapitalization of Neuro whereby Neuro is deemed to be the continuing, surviving entity for accounting purposes, but through reorganization, has deemed to have adopted the capital structure of Helius. Because the acquisition was considered a reverse recapitalization for accounting purposes, the combined historical financial statements of Neuro became the historical financial statements and from the completion of the acquisition on June 13, 2014, the financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis. The assets and liabilities of Neuro have been brought forward at their book value and no goodwill has been recognized in connection with the transaction. The Company had a wholly-owned subsidiary, 0995162 B.C. Ltd, which was dissolved on October 23, 2014. On December 17, 2014, Neuro incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Helius Medical Technologies (Canada), Inc. ("Helius Canada"). The financial information is presented in United States Dollars.
