Unless the context indicates or suggests otherwise, references to "we," "our," "us," the "Company," or "GSRX" refer toGSRX Industries Inc. , aNevada corporation, individually, or as the context requires, collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries.
GSRX Industries Inc. was incorporated inNevada under the name "Cyberspace Vita, Inc. " onNovember 7, 2006 . The Company's original business plan was to create and conduct an online business for the sale of vitamins and supplements; however, Cyberspace never generated any meaningful revenues. OnMay 5, 2008 , Cyberspace discontinued its prior business and changed its business plan. Following discontinuation of its initial business plan, the Company's business plan was to seek, investigate, and, if warranted, acquire one or more properties or businesses, and to pursue other related activities intended to enhance stockholder value. The acquisition of a business opportunity may be made by purchase, merger, exchange of stock, or otherwise, and may encompass assets or a business entity, such as a corporation, joint venture, or partnership. OnMay 11, 2017 , the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with Project 1493, and the sole member of 1493, pursuant to which the member transferred all of the outstanding membership interests of 1493 to the Company in exchange for 16,690,912 of its restricted shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of$0.50 per share. As a result of the Exchange Agreement, 1493 became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the business of 1493 became the business of the Company. The Company, together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, is in the business of acquiring, developing and operating medical cannabis dispensaries inPuerto Rico . OnMay 12, 2017 , the Company changed its name from "Cyberspace Vita, Inc. " to "Green Spirit Industries Inc. " OnJune 22, 2018 , the Company changed its name from "Green Spirit Industries Inc. " to "GSRX Industries Inc. " As of the date of this Report, we have financed operations through a combination of equity financings including net proceeds from the private placements of stock. Although it is difficult to predict our liquidity requirements, based upon our current operating plan, as of the date of this Report, we believe we will have sufficient cash to meet our projected operating requirements until the end of 2020, at which point we anticipate nearing or reaching cash-flow breakeven. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources." RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Critical Accounting PoliciesThe Securities and Exchange Commission issued Financial Reporting Release No. 60, "Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies" suggesting that companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies. In Financial Reporting Release No. 60, theSecurities and Exchange Commission has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company's financial condition and operating results, and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. The nature of our business generally does not call for the preparation or use of estimates except for accrued expenses, right of use, stock based compensation and realization on
investments. Limited Operating History
There is limited historical financial information about us which to base an evaluation of our performance. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise in a complicated regulatory environment.
Plan of Operations We will continue to generate revenues from our current business operations of selling medical cannabis and cannabis products and limited revenues from our sale of CBD products. We currently operate five (5) dispensaries inPuerto Rico and one (1) inCalifornia , one (1) CBD kiosk and we have wholesale revenues and online sales. We expect to complete construction at and receive the necessary licensing to begin operations for threePuerto Rico dispensaries in 2020, the manufacturing and distribution businesses inPoint Arena are expected to begin operations in the third quarter of 2020. Over the next 12 months, we plan to continue operating medical cannabis dispensaries. We currently operate 6 locations. Our current fixed overhead is approximately$85,000 per month. We anticipate fixed overhead increasing when the dispensaries begin operations. Our primary source of revenue is expected to be derived from selling medical cannabis and cannabis related products in the dispensaries. In order to acquire a significant market share, we will have to advertise and market our products. We plan to advertise online and use traditional advertising outlets. We have no specific budget set forth at this time for either form of advertising. In order to maximize our product sales, we will require additional market research and testing to enable us to be efficient with purchasing and inventory management to determine which products our customers will purchase. We may need to raise additional equity for research and development of our inventory plan.
