Preaxia Health Care Files 8-K Disclosing Non-Riance on Q3 2025 Financials
Summary
Preaxia Health Care Payment Systems Inc. filed a Form 8-K under Item 4.02 disclosing that management identified material errors in the company's previously released financial statements for the three months ended August 31, 2025, and concluded those statements should no longer be relied upon. The errors relate to stock award valuation and timing, and lack of option disclosures. The company will restate the affected financial statements in amended Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Management also concluded that a material weakness exists in internal control over financial reporting, rendering disclosure controls and procedures ineffective for the non-reliance period.
“The existence of one or more material weaknesses precludes a conclusion by management that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are effective.”
Companies with stock-based compensation programs should review their ASC 718 valuation processes and option disclosure controls in light of this restatement. The specific errors here (award valuation timing and option disclosures) mirror common SEC comment letter findings. A management disclosure of material weakness in ICFR typically triggers auditor scrutiny in subsequent filings and may invite SEC staff comment.
What changed
The company filed an 8-K under Item 4.02 announcing non-reliance on previously issued financial statements for the three months ended August 31, 2025. The identified errors involve stock award valuation and timing discrepancies and missing option disclosures. The financial statements will be restated in amended Form 10-Q filings. Management also disclosed that a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting was identified, which means disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the affected period.
Public companies and investors should note this restatement involves stock-based compensation accounting errors and inadequate option disclosures—areas that directly implicate ASC 718 and SEC reporting obligations. The material weakness finding means the company's internal controls failed to prevent or detect these errors on a timely basis. Peer companies with similar equity compensation structures should review their award valuation processes and option disclosure practices for comparable deficiencies.

Section
4 - Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements
Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related
Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
On
April 9, 2026, the management of PreAxia Health care Payment Systems Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), identified
material errors in the previously released financial statements for the three months ended August 31, 2025 (the “Non-Reliance
Period”) and concluded that such financial statements should no longer be relied upon.
The
errors discovered for the Non-Reliance Period relate to the Non-Reliance Period’s stock award valuation and timing, and lack of
option disclosures. The Company’s management is currently endeavoring to make the necessary corrections.
The
Company’s management has concluded that it is appropriate to correct the errors in accounting in the Company’s financial
statements for the Non-Reliance Period included in the applicable Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”), by restating such financial information as the impact of the errors in the financial statements
is expected to be material to the financial statements for the Non-Reliance Period (the “Restatement”). The Company
will disclose in the to-be-filed Amended Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three months ended August 31, 2025, the financial statements
with corrections to the errors in accounting for the Non-Reliance Period. As a result, the financial statements for the Non-Reliance
Period should no longer be relied on. Similarly, any previously issued or filed reports, press releases, earnings releases, and investor
presentations or other communications describing the Company’s financial statements and other related financial information covering
the Non-Reliance Periods should no longer be relied upon.
Management
has assessed the effect of the Restatement on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and its disclosure controls
and procedures. As a result of the analysis of the cause of the Restatement, the Company will continue to report a material weakness.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there
is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis. The existence of one or more material weaknesses precludes a conclusion by management that the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are effective. As a result of the material weaknesses,
the Company continues to believe that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective, and its disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective for the Non-Reliance Periods.
The
Company’s management has discussed the matters disclosed in this Item 4.02 with Fruci & Associates, CPAs and M&K CPAs,
the Company’s former and current independent registered public accounting firms. M&K will oversee the review for the Amended
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three months ended August 31, 2025.
