PART I

 

ItemITEM 1. BUSINESS

Business Overview and Strategy

LifeMD is a direct-to-patient telehealth company that provides a smarter, cost-effective and convenient way of accessing healthcare. We believe the traditional model of visiting a doctor’s office, receiving a physical prescription, visiting a local pharmacy, and returning to see a doctor for follow up care or prescription refills is inefficient, costly to patients, and discourages many patients from seeking much needed medical care. The U.S. healthcare system is undergoing a paradigm shift, thanks to new technologies and the emergence of direct-to-patient healthcare. Direct-to-patient telemedicine companies, like our company, connect consumers to licensed healthcare professionals for care across numerous indications, including concierge care, men’s sexual health and dermatology, among others.

 

Our Companytelemedicine platform helps patients access licensed providers for diagnoses, virtual care, and prescription medications, often delivered on a recurring basis. In addition to our telemedicine offerings, we sell nutritional supplements and other over-the-counter products. Many of our products are available on a subscription or membership basis, where a patient can subscribe to receive regular shipments of prescribed medications or products. This creates convenience and often discounted pricing opportunities for patients and recurring revenue streams for us. Our patient acquisition strategy combines strategic brand-building media placements and direct response advertising methods across highly scalable marketing channels (i.e. national TV, streaming TV, streaming audio, podcast, print, magazines, online search, social media, and digital).

Since inception, we have helped more than 300,000 customers and patients, providing them greater access to high-quality, convenient, and affordable care in all 50 states. Our telemedicine revenue increased 208% in 2020 vs. the prior year. Total revenue from recurring subscriptions is approximately 80%. In addition to our telehealth business, we own 85.6% of PDFSimpli, a rapidly growing SaaS platform for converting, signing, editing and sharing PDF documents. This business has also seen 165% year over year growth, with recurring revenue of 100%.

Many people can relate to the hassle and inconvenience of seeking medical care. We believe that telemedicine platforms like ours will fundamentally shift how patients access healthcare in the U.S., by necessity and by preference. With the average wait time to see a physician in the U.S. now at greater than 29 days, according to a 2018 Merritt Hawkins Survey, and the U.S. projected to have a significant shortfall of licensed physicians by 2030, we believe the U.S. healthcare infrastructure must change to accommodate patients. Timely and convenient access to healthcare and prescription medications is a critical factor in improving quality of care and patient outcomes. Our mission is to radically change healthcare with our portfolio of direct-to-patient telehealth brands that encompass on-demand medical treatment, online pharmacy and over-the-counter products. We want our brands to be top-of-mind for consumers considering telehealth.

In the United States, healthcare spending is currently $4.0 trillion and is expected to grow to $6.2 trillion by 2028, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Physician services and prescription medications account for approximately 30% of healthcare spending, or over $1 trillion annually, and we believe that we have the infrastructure, medical expertise, and technical know-how to shift a substantial portion of this market to an online, virtual format. Our platforms are fast and convenient, and we believe the adoption of our services has increased rapidly because of these features, including lower out-of-pocket costs for patients and the satisfaction of a simple healthcare process. We believe the opportunities are immense and that we are well positioned to capitalize on these large scale economic shifts in healthcare.

 

We manufacture, distributebelieve that brand innovation, customer acquisition and sell natural immune support products containingservice excellence form the heart of our proprietary yeast beta glucans, a group of beta glucans naturally occurring in the cell walls of yeast that have been shown through testing and analysis to support the immune system. Our products include once a day oral intake tablets and topical creams and gels for skin application. We believe, based on testing and analysis conducted by third parties onbusiness. As is exemplified with our behalf, that the beta glucans derived from yeast we manufacture are superior to any other beta glucans available on the market.

Our men’s telemedicine brand, Rex MD, currently offers treatment for erectile dysfunction, and will soon offer treatments for additional indications present in men’s health. We have built a platform that allows us to large dietary supplementefficiently launch telehealth and cosmetic companies. During fiscal year 2015wellness product lines wherever we saw increased interest in our SGM active agent delivery technology, which we believe may have additional beneficialdetermine there is a market need. Our platform is supported by a driven team of digital marketing and marketable uses,branding experts, data analysts, designers, and engineers focused on which we are conducting further testing. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2015, we established a partnership with Innate Skincare, LLC (“Innate Scientific”) to launch a complete skin care regimen containing our proprietary ingredients. We expect this partnership will be a meaningful contributor to our revenues in the 2016 fiscal year.building enduring brands.

 

We were originally incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada, in 1987 under the name Anina Resources, Inc. and subsequently changed our name to Immudyne, Inc. and our jurisdiction to the State of Wyoming by continuance in September 1987. On June 30, 1994, we changed our jurisdiction to Delaware by merger with and into Immudyne, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed on June 21, 1994.

None of the testing and analysis or scientific research mentioned in this report has been subject to the oversight of the FDA or any comparable regulatory body, and no regulatory body has attested to the efficacy of beta glucans in supporting the immune system or otherwise treating disease. Further, the marketing of beta glucans is not subject to FDA approval, and we are prohibited by Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and FDA regulations from suggesting in advertisements and product labels that our products mitigate, treat, cure or prevent a specific disease or class of disease.

Our ProductsBrand Portfolio

 

We have built a developed proprietary approachstrategic portfolio of wholly-owned telehealth brands that address large unmet needs in men’s health, hair loss and dermatology. We also are preparing to produce beta glucans derived from yeast which we believe are superiorlaunch a concierge care offering under the LifeMD brand. We continue to any other beta glucans on the market. Our yeast beta glucans are odorless and tasteless, making them suitable for usescale our offerings in a wide varietycalculated manner, ensuring that each brand or indication we launch will enhance current and future patients’ experiences with our platform.

Our process across each brand and condition that we treat is to guide the patient through a medical intake process and product selection, after which a licensed U.S. physician within our network conducts a virtual consultation and, if appropriate, prescribes necessary prescription medications and/or recommends over-the-counter products. Prescription and over the counter products are filled by pharmacy fulfillment partners and shipped directly to the patient. The number of oralpatients and topical applications, includingcustomers we serve across the nation continues to increase at a robust pace, with more than 300,000 individuals having purchased our products and services to date.

Hair Loss: ShapiroMD

In Q1 2021, ShapiroMD greatly enhanced its telemedicine offering for female hair loss with the addition of the value of our proprietary products, we believe demand for our beta glucans will increase.topical compounded medications to its product portfolio.

 

Beta GlucansOn February 21, 2020, ConsumersAdvocate.org ranked ShapiroMD as the third best hair loss treatment provider in the United States, ahead of other household brands such as Bosley, Keeps and Rogaine.

 

Beta glucans, or β-Glucans, are a natural extract that are considered to be “biological response modifiers” that support the immune system. The most common sources of beta glucans are from the cell walls of baker’s yeast, the cellulose in plants, the bran of cereal grains and certain fungi and bacteria. The differences between beta glucan chemical structures are significant in regards to solubility and overall biological activity. In fact, beta glucans derived from mushrooms and cereals do not appear to have the same effects on human health as beta glucans derived from yeast.

We derive our high-grade beta glucan from yeast cell walls using proprietary processes in our manufacturing facility. Our beta glucan is generally free of yeast by-product and endotoxins, and has demonstrated reliability in terms of both stability and biological response. In fact, we commissioned an analytical side-by-side comparison by a laboratory which conducts testing and analysis of nutraceutical compounds, between our beta glucan and each of the beta glucans manufactured by our two main competitors. The results of the analytical comparison demonstrated the superiority of our beta glucan which was far less impure and more uniform in composition than those of our competitors.

As more studies are conducted on beta glucans, we believe the potential benefits to human health will continue to emerge.become a leading telehealth destination for Men’s health.

Industry Overview and active lifestyle. These expressions of interest have often resulted in proposals for research studiesMarket Opportunity

We are focused on revolutionizing the way that patients access healthcare to positively impact their long-term health and recommendations of our products. We plan to build upon this interestsatisfaction. In the United States, healthcare spending is currently $4.0 trillion and hopeis expected to grow our contacts with licensed physicians who utilize our productto $6.2 trillion by 2028, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Despite this growing spend, the existing healthcare system is fragmented and inefficient, lacks price transparency, and is generally unfriendly to the consumer. In addition, a myriad of issues related to insurance coverage and other cost barriers stand in the way of many Americans getting the treatment they need in a clinical settingtimely and efficient manner. Patients are at the mercy of a multitude of gatekeepers at every level – with researchers who have the resourcesservice provider, in acquiring medication, and in the insurance reimbursement process – leading to conduct testingconfusion and analysis on our products.frustration for consumers. A 2018 Journal of Patient Experience paper found that among 9,166 patients surveyed through the national Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Database, only 28% of respondents rated their satisfaction with their healthcare experience as “optimal;” 61% of respondents rated their satisfaction as “average;” and 11% said “poor.”

SalesWe believe we are in the early stages of the digitization of healthcare; additionally, telehealth’s adoption has been rapidly expedited by the emergence of the global coronavirus pandemic. Doctors across the U.S. were forced to close offices and Marketingadopt telehealth in short order as the novel coronavirus took hold of the U.S. in 2020. Telehealth, and, more specifically, direct-to-consumer telehealth, has since cemented itself as a mainstream way to access healthcare. A July 2020 report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services found that 43.5% of Medicare primary care visits were provided via telehealth in April 2020, an increase from less than 0.5% in February of that year prior to the onset of regional stay-at-home restrictions.

Telehealth’s novel approach to offering convenient healthcare helps bridge many of the inefficiencies that plague the U.S. healthcare system today. Telehealth enables more efficient allocation and utilization of existing clinical resources that might otherwise go unused. With an aging population requiring more complex care and a younger generation that is accustomed to digital technology, telehealth offers an efficient way to leverage finite resources. A Journal of General Internal Medicine article from 2016 evaluated patient satisfaction with U.S. telehealth services in comparison to in-office visits: between 94% and 99% of survey respondents reported being “very satisfied” with all telehealth attributes, and over 70% of respondents would use telehealth again and would recommend telehealth to someone else.

The shift to Direct-to-Patient telehealth is in its nascent stage, and we believe we have developed the internal infrastructure, medical expertise, and industry know-how to capitalize on the opportunity to penetrate this large, open, and growing market. Physician services and prescription medications account for approximately 30% of healthcare spending, over $1 trillion annually, and according to a market study by Alliance Bernstein in 2018, 70% of the retail prescription drug market will shift online within the next 5 years, a $200 billion economic shift. The broader global telemedicine market is projected to grow at a 19.3% CAGR through 2026.

Our Growth Strategy

 

We have performance based contractsachieved rapid growth since our transformation into a healthcare focused company in 2018, with a compounded annual growth rate in revenue of nearly 100% since 2018 and growth accelerating to 208% in 2020 as compared to 2019. We believe this validates our significant long-term investments in developing our human capital, technology, brand-awareness, operations and customer acquisition. Our continued investment in, and expansion of our core brands and their offerings will further increase opportunities to acquire new customers and increase the lifetime value of our customers.

We continue to invest heavily in the experience our customers have with our salesproducts and marketing executives,their overall satisfaction with our products and our company, and we expect customer repurchase rates and overall customer retention to grow further as we allocate more resources and focus to this component of the business. While we are proud of our accomplishments to date, we believe the most exciting opportunities for our growth story are ahead of us, and we intend to pursue the following strategies to help us achieve this growth.

Continue to Grow Our Market Share in Indications We Already Treat

There remains a large and unaddressed market within hair-loss, erectile dysfunction, Men’s health, and dermatology into which allows uswe intend to aggressively scale in 2021 and beyond. We plan to continue to maintainbuild a relatively low overhead.robust operational infrastructure to enable us to not only provide better patient care but drive better unit economics for our business.

Launch New Treatments

We intend to leverage our existing infrastructure to launch new products within and around our existing brands. In the first quarter 2021, we are launching our dermatology and skincare brand, NavaMD. Additionally, a multitude of opportunities exist to expand our product offerings under our current brand portfolio, and we plan to deploy new products and services in 2021 and beyond that will meet the needs of our existing customer base. In men’s health, for example, we intend to address ED-adjacent indications including common sexually transmitted infections (STI).

Launch and Scale LifeMD Concierge Care

We intend to launch LifeMD, our cash-pay subscription-based concierge care service, in the first half of 2021. We believe that LifeMD will make virtual and on-demand concierge healthcare available at a price that is affordable to almost anyone. We intend to offer our LifeMD concierge service to our existing patient population, new patients that we acquire for condition-specific treatment, and plan to run national and global direct-response marketing campaigns to rapidly increase awareness of the LifeMD offering.

Pursue Opportunities for Joint Ventures, Partnerships, and Inorganic Growth Initiatives

We believe that our business model – direct-to-patient telemedicine – will be disruptive to the world of traditional healthcare services, pharmaceutical products, medical devices, and diagnostics. Our priorityproven ability to launch and scale telemedicine offerings in a capital-efficient manner will likely be valuable to organizations in the traditional healthcare market segment seeking to take advantage of this new delivery model. We believe we are well-positioned to form joint ventures and partnerships with existing traditional healthcare companies, and we are currently exploring avenues and partners for new ventures.

Drive Continued Operational Excellence

We are committed to improving productivity and profitability through a number of operational initiatives designed to grow our revenue and expand our margins. Overall, we expect that business profitability will be driven by continued net revenue growth in conjunction with gross margin improvements, continued marketing efficiencies, and generating operating leverage. We believe there is opportunity for continued improvement in gross margins, marketing efficiencies, and operating leverage through these key initiatives:

Optimize Price

Through investment in human capital and technology, we intend to actively pursue opportunitiescontinue building a data-based understanding of price elasticity dynamics, promotional strategies and other price management tools to marketdrive optimized pricing for us and our partners. Based on the strength of our brands and the value proposition of our products, we believe we have pricing power in the market that will only increase through economies of scale.

Reduce Product Returns

We continue to evolve our return policies and believe we have the opportunity to reduce customer return rates. We have identified several opportunities that span policy change, process improvement and consumer education to reduce return rates and increase sales. Our sales and marketing strategy primarily consists of building the brand recognition of our product lines and our proprietary yeast beta glucans. overall customer satisfaction.

Invest in Supply Chain

We plan to sellcontinue to make significant investments in our products primarily onsupply chain to meet the requirements of our growing business. Our supply chain is instrumental to both supporting growth and improving business performance. While we currently partner with a word-of-mouth basis through distributorsnumber of third-party manufacturing and our website as standalone product lines, as well as business-to-business as a cosmetic enhancement or dietary supplement.

Our principal productslogistics companies, physician networks, and prescription medication fulfillment companies, we are consumables that can generate a stream of repeat sales with the same end customers over an extended period, providing significant lifetime value for each customer gained. To reach these customers, our marketing strategy includes several online sales promotions. In addition, we intendevaluating opportunities to build our brand recognition with healthcare professionals through further testing and analysisown internal capabilities in these areas.

We anticipate that growth of our products and educating practitionersservices will span entirely new markets in healthcare, including:

Services and clinics onContent: We plan to offer services that provide customers the benefitsopportunity to interact with telemedicine in new ways, including digital apps, counseling and family consultations.

Use Cases: We believe we can broaden the range of use cases addressed by market need, including the treatment of new conditions with the launch of new brands, including our first quarter 2021 launch of NavaMD, and the expansion of existing brand offerings to covering complementary clinical indications.

Competition

The markets we sell into are large and highly competitive. Numerous online brands compete with us for customers throughout the U.S. and internationally in the hair loss, immune support, men’s health and document management verticals. We also compete with traditional mass merchandisers, drug store chains, independent pharmacies and health food stores.

Our competitors include, among others, Teledoc, Ro, Thirty Madison, Inc., Icebreaker Health, Inc., Hims & Hers Health, Inc. and GoodRx, Inc. Many of our products.competitors are substantially larger and more experienced than us, have longer operating histories, higher visibility and brand recognition and have materially greater financial and other resources than us. We may not be able to successfully compete with them in the marketplace.

Competitive Strengths

 

We also market outtake a patient-focused approach to telemedicine, with an emphasis on the quality-of-care we deliver to our patients. Our human capital and know-how, proprietary technology platform, and unique product offerings represent meaningful strengths that we believe will enable us to maintain and grow our market-leading position in the U.S.

Our key competitive strengths include:

High-Quality Care

Our telemedicine platform is designed to give consumers more control over their healthcare spending; greater convenience in how and when they pursue or receive care; and better outcomes as hurdles to healthcare services are removed for the care or medications patients need. We are committed to exceptional care and an exceptional customer service experience for our patients and customers.

Direct-To-Consumer Know-How

We actively seek to acquire, license, and develop brands and products with large, untapped e-commerce potential and proven business models. We acquire our patients in an efficient manner through an omni-channel marketing approach that includes digital advertising through platforms like Facebook and Google, social media platforms, as well as more traditional media channels like television and radio. Since our inception in 2015, we have invested heavily in recruiting experts in direct response marketing and customer acquisition.

Proprietary and Scalable Technology Platform

Our in-house telemedicine infrastructure is continually being improved as we scale, and this flexible infrastructure can be repurposed for any variety of existing or future telemedicine brands. This flexible platform allows for rapid development and scale of new telemedicine brands as we identify attractive specialty verticals. Additional key capabilities of this platform include proprietary staffing algorithms for case-load balancing, full CRM functionality, synchronous and asynchronous communications, and more.

Patient Care Center : We launched a dedicated patient care center in November 2020 staffed by LifeMD employees which currently spans approximately 100 employees and is led by an experienced operations and customer experience leader. We believe the hands-on capabilities of the patient care center will continue to consumersadd significantly to our company’s performance through increased conversions, customer ratings and retention.

Drive Marketing Efficiencies: Marketing investments are the result of a disciplined process and are measured against both growth and profitability targets. As we continue to grow and scale, we believe we will continue to improve the efficiency of our joint venture with Innate Scientific establishedmarketing investments and improve our return on advertising spend. As our budgets and pool of talent continues to grow, we believe this will result in October 2015cheaper media rates and through which we intendimprovements to develop, launch and market additional SKU’s based on our proprietary beta glucans.

Manufacturing and SourcingIntellectual Property

 

We regard our trademarks, copyrights, domain names, trade dress, trade secrets, proprietary technologies and similar intellectual property as important to our success, and we rely on trademark and copyright law, trade-secret protection and confidentiality and/or license agreements with our employees, customers, partners and others to protect our proprietary rights. We have focusedlicensed in the past, and expect that we may license in the future, certain proprietary rights, technologies or copyrighted materials from third-parties and we rely on those third-parties to defend their proprietary rights, copyrights and technologies.

From time-to-time, we register our principal brand names in the production of immune system support compounds includingUnited States and certain foreign countries. Our material trademarks include ShapiroMD® and iNRWellnessMD®. Trademark applications are in process for RexMD and SOSRx. The steps we take to protect our beta glucans derived from yeast for over 20 years.  Our staff produces consistently high-grade, particulate and reliable beta glucans which are includedproprietary rights in our nutraceutical and cosmeticbrand names may not be adequate to prevent the misappropriation of our brand names in the United States or abroad. Existing trademark laws afford only limited practical protection for our product lines. ForThe laws and the level of enforcement of such laws in certain offoreign countries where we market our packaged consumer goods, we use third party contractors for encapsulation, bottling and labeling. These contractors are subject to regular government inspections, andproducts often do not protect our proprietary rights in our products to the bestsame extent as the laws of our knowledge, comply with current GMPs and hold the necessary drug manufacturing licenses and processed food registrations required by their respective state regulators. Such packaging services are readily available from multiple sources.

The raw materials necessary to manufacture our beta glucans principally consist of baker’s yeast and are common and readily available. We hold our suppliers to strict quality and delivery specifications as part of our GMP compliance and quality control procedures, including quality assurance of raw materials used in the production of our products.

Our beta glucan products and manufacturing processes are protected by registered and pending patents and trade secrets. Our manufacturing facilities and practices are compliant with published current GMPs established by the FDA for dietary supplements. 

Customers

We sell our products direct to consumers and to pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and consumer product companies in the U.S. market.  We focus on establishing and growing long-term relationships with our customers, and we believe that the majority of our customers and partners view us as a strategic long-term supplier and value the quality of our beta glucan products. Our sales through distributors typically are made pursuant to supplier agreements executed in the ordinary course of business with individual orders made on purchase orders. 

As we have sought to expand our sales, we have marketed our nutraceutical and cosmetic product lines through distributors, partnerships, and direct sales to consumers. We do not anticipate a seasonality of sales.

Our largest customer, Michel Mercier Products, Inc. (d/b/a M.M.P, Inc.), accounted for 73% of our consolidated sales in 2015 and 79% our consolidated sales in 2014.  Our second largest customer accounted for 12% of our consolidated sales in 2015 and 12% our consolidated sales in 2014. The remainder of our consolidated sales in 2015 were attributable to our finished cosmetic products segment and which sales were made through our joint venture with Innate Scientific.

Competition

The markets for nutritional supplements and skin care products are highly competitive, consisting of a large number of manufacturers, distributors and retailers, none of which dominates the fragmented and diverse market. We compete for sales direct to consumers, through distributors and business-to-business.

Although we believe, based on testing and analysis by third parties on our behalf, that our yeast beta glucan is superior to others available on the market, we compete with other companies manufacturing beta glucans from yeast and other sources as well as companies producing other food ingredients and nutritional supplements for human use. Many end consumers may consider such products to be a replacement for the products we manufacture and distribute. Many of our competitors have greater marketing, research and capital resources than us, and may be able to offer their products at lower costs because of their greater purchasing power or lower cost of raw materials and manufacturing.

We anticipate expanding our sales on a meaningful basis as part of our new marketing strategy focusing on our nutraceutical and cosmetic product lines. We anticipate competing in these markets on the basis of quality, our proprietary manufacturing processes, research data and effective marketing campaigns promoting the benefits of our natural immune support products. There are no assurances that our products will be able to compete in these markets, however, or that our marketing strategy will be successful.

Intellectual PropertyUnited States.

 

We rely primarily on proprietary trade secret know howsecrets and extensive experience to operate our online direct response marketing platform. We have two U.S. patents relating to our Shapiro MD products’ method for treatment of hair loss with a combination of natural ingredients with one granted on March 24, 2015 and the other on January 3, 2017. In order to protect the confidentiality of our intellectual property, including trade secrets, know-how and maintainother proprietary technical and business information, it is our competitive positionpolicy to limit access to such information to those who require access in order to perform their functions and to enter into agreements with employees, consultants and vendors to contractually protect such information.

Manufacturing

We use third parties to manufacture and package our products according to the formulas and packaging guidelines we dictate. In order to minimize costs, we may elect to purchase raw or bulk materials directly from our suppliers and have them shipped to our manufacturers so that we may incur only tableting, encapsulating and/or packaging costs and avoid the additional costs associated with purchasing the finished product.

We have not experienced any material adverse effect on our business as a result of shortages of raw materials or packaging materials used in the marketplace. We have several use, process and provisional patents, and intend to apply for additional patentsmanufacturing of our products. An unexpected interruption or a shortage in 2016 as new products, uses and manufacturing processes are developed. We maintain trademarks registered in the U.S. forsupply could adversely affect our business name and relatedderived from these products. We are not substantially dependent on any raw material supplier or packaging supplier since alternative sources of materials, with equal quality, could be quickly obtained if any of our current suppliers cease to our product brands. In addition, we have registered and maintain internet domain names related to our businesses, including “immudyne.com.”supply us adequately.

 

Research and Development

Our expertise for many years has been in the enhancement of efficient, stable and cost-effective production systems for beta glucan products derived from yeast. In 2015 we incurred research and development expenses of approximately $24,000. We currently are conducting research and development on our topical products through a partnership with BIO-EC (France), as well as a separate ongoing study in the United States on a unique application of our existing products. We plan to disclose the results of these studies during 2016 as the data becomes available.

GovernmentalGovernment and Environmental Regulation

 

Our business and the manufacturing, distribution and sale of our beta glucan products areis heavily regulated in the U.S. primarily by the FDA and the FTC.

The FDA enforces the FDCA and Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (“DSHEA”) as they pertain to foods, food ingredients, cosmetics and dietary supplement production and marketing. Dietary supplements and nutraceuticals are regulated as a category of food, not as drugs. We are not required to obtain FDA pre-market approval to sell our products in the United States under current laws. Our hair loss and scarring products are regulated as cosmetics under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.

The FDA classifies “Yeast extract (Bakers)” as generally recognized as safe (GRAS), which substances by definition are not food additives. Most GRAS substances have no quantitative restrictions as to use, although their use must conform to current GMPs. The FDA promulgatesimposes GMP guidelines to ensure that dietary supplements are produced in a quality manner, do not contain contaminants or impurities and are accurately labeled. GMPs include requirements for establishing quality control procedures, designing and constructing manufacturing plants, testing ingredients and finished products and record keeping and handling of consumer product complaints. The FDA has broad authority to enforce the provisions of federal law applicable to dietary supplements and cosmetics, including the power to monitor claims made in product labeling, to seize adulterated or misbranded products or unapproved new drugs, to request product recall, to enjoin further manufacture or sale of a product, to issue warning letters and to institute criminal proceedings.

Advertising and product claims regarding the efficacy of products are also regulated by the FTC. The FTC regulates the advertising of dietary supplements, cosmetics and other health-related products to ensure that any advertising is truthful and not misleading, and that an advertiser maintains adequate substantiation for all product claims. FTC enforcement actions may result in consent decrees, cease and desist orders, judicial injunctions and the payment of fines with respect to advertising claims that are found to be unsubstantiated.

 

Yeast beta glucans are classified as GRAS by the FDA and our oral and topical-use product lines containing our yeast beta glucan are marketed as dietary supplements and cosmetics, respectively. Under current U.S. regulations, our products must comply with certain labeling requirements enforced by the FDA and FTC, but otherwise generally are not required to receive regulatory approval prior to introduction into the U.S. market. We believe we are in compliance with all material government regulations applicable to our products.

 

In the EU markets, the European Food Safety Authority (“EFSA”), an advisory panel to the European Commission, performs all scientific assessments of health claims on food and supplement labels. The European Commission will consider the opinions of EFSA in determining whether to include a health claim on a list of permissible claims. Once published, only health claims for ingredients and products included on the list may be used in promotional materials for products marketed and sold in the European Union. The marketability of our products may be limited as we look to expand our sales in the EU if the health claims of our products are not included on the list.

In addition to the foregoing, our operations and those of our partners are subject to federal, foreign, state and local government laws and regulations, including those relating to zoning, workplace safetythe practice of medicine, telemedicine and accommodations for the disabled, and our relationship with our employees is subject to regulations, including minimum wage requirements, anti-discrimination laws, overtime, working conditions and citizenship requirements. We currently do not incur any material costs in connection with our compliance with applicable environmental laws as our manufacturing processes generate minimal discharge. Furthermore, the costprescribing of maintaining compliance with applicable environmental laws has not, and we believe, in the future, will not, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.prescription medications. We believe we are in substantial compliance with all material governmental regulations applicable to our operations.

 

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2015,2020, we had 456 full-time employees. In addition, we use the services of consultants and third-party service providers, where needed. None of our employees as well as part-timeare represented by a union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages, and we consider our relationship with our employees and numerous additional consultants worldwide. All employees and our officers and directors are eligible to participate in our group health and dental insurance plans.be good.

On March 11, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Subsequently, states enacted stay-at-home orders to slow the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19, and reduce the burden on the U.S. health care system. In response to COVID-19, our senior leadership assessed the impact across our entire team. Our objective was to ensure the health, safety and well-being of our employees, customers, and the communities we service.

We changed our name to Conversion Labs, Inc. on June 22, 2018 and then subsequently, on February 22, 2021, we changed our name to LifeMD, Inc. Further, in connection with changing our name, we changed our trading symbol to LFMD. On April 1, 2016, with respect to a limited liability company operating agreement with joint venture partners for one of our skincare products under the legal name Immudyne PR LLC (“Immudyne PR”), such original operating agreement of Immudyne PR was amended and restated and we increased our ownership and voting interest in Immudyne PR to 78.2%. Concurrent with the name change of the parent company to Conversion Labs, Inc. completed in 2018, Immudyne PR was renamed to Conversion Labs PR LLC (now known as “Conversion Labs PR”). On April 25, 2019, the operating agreement of Conversion Labs PR was amended and restated in its entirety to increase the Company’s ownership and voting interest in Conversion Labs PR to 100%.

In June 2018, the Company closed the strategic acquisition of 51% of LegalSimpli Software, LLC (“LegalSimpli”), a software as a service (SaaS) application for converting, editing, signing and sharing PDF documents. In addition to LegalSimpli Software’s growth business model, this acquisition added deep search engine optimization and search engine marketing expertise to the Company. Effective January 22, 2021, we consummated a transaction to restructure the ownership of LegalSimpli (the “LSS Restructuring”). To affect the LSS Restructuring, Conversion Labs PR entered into a series of agreements as further described below.

ItemITEM 1A. Risk FactorsRISK FACTORS

 

Our business and an investment in our securities are subject to a variety of risks. The following risk factors describe the most significant events, facts or circumstances that could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, results of operations, ability to implement our business plan, and the market price for our securities. Many of these events are outside of our control. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operation may be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors in our common stock could lose all or part of their investment.

Risks Related to Ourour Business and Industry

 

The reportWe have generated net losses, we anticipate increasing expenses in the future, we have not yet achieved profitability, and we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability.

We have incurred net losses on an annual basis since our inception. We incurred net losses of $60.5 million and $3.5 million in the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We had an accumulated deficit of approximately $80.2 million as of December 31, 2020. We expect our costs will increase substantially in the foreseeable future and we expect our losses will continue as we expect to invest significant additional funds towards growing our platform, growing our provider network, enhancing our pharmacy fulfillment system, and operating as a public company and as we continue to invest in increasing our customer base, hiring additional employees, and developing new products and technological capabilities to enhance our customers’ experience on our platform. These efforts may prove more expensive than we currently anticipate, and we may not succeed in increasing our revenue sufficiently to offset these higher expenses. To date, we have financed our operations principally from the sale of our independent registered public accounting firm contains explanatory language that substantial doubt exists aboutequity, revenue from our ability to continue as a going concern.platform, and the incurrence of indebtedness.

We may not generate positive cash flows from operations or achieve profitability then we would, in all likelihood, experience severe liquidity problemsany given period, and our limited operating history may havemake it difficult to curtailevaluate our operations.  If we curtailcurrent business and our operations, we may be placed into bankruptcy or undergo liquidation, the result of which will adversely affect the value of our common shares.

We have generated losses and not yet achieved positive cash flows, which may adversely affect our liquidity and ability to continue as a going concern.

future prospects. We cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve revenue growth, profitability, or positive cash flow, on either a quarterly or annual basis, or that profitability, if achieved, will be sustained. Our ability to meet our long-term business objectives likely will be dependent upon establishing increased cash flow from operations or securing other sources of financing. We have implemented a new sales and marketing strategy to focus on higher-margin products that carry what we believe to be greater opportunities for growth in the U.S. and international markets. In addition, management has instituted cost-cutting measures; including terminating certain employees that were not contributing to the business and ceasing our operations in the low-margin feed additive product line, which we believe should result in improved efficiencies of our operations going forward. If our losses continue, however, our liquidity may be severely impaired, our stock price may fall, and our shareholders may lose all or a significant portion of their investment.

 

We have encountered and will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing and highly regulated industries, including increasing expenses as we continue to grow our business. If we are not able to achieve or maintain positive cash flow in the long term, we may require additional financing, which may not be available on favorable terms or at all and/or which would be dilutive to our stockholders. If we are unable to successfully address these risks and challenges as we encounter them, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.

Our limited operating history and evolving business make it difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects and increases the risk of your investment.

Our limited operating history and evolving business make it difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects and plan for our future growth.

We have encountered and will continue to encounter significant risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by new and growing companies in rapidly changing and heavily regulated industries, such as attracting new customers and healthcare providers (sometimes referred to herein as “providers”), to our platform, retaining our customers and encouraging them to utilize new offerings we make available, increasing the number of conditions that can be treated by providers through our platform, competition from other companies, whether online healthcare providers or traditional healthcare providers, hiring, integrating, training and retaining skilled personnel, verifying the identity of customers and credentials of providers serving our customers, developing new solutions, determining prices for our solutions, unforeseen expenses, challenges in forecasting accuracy, and new or adverse regulatory developments affecting the use of telehealth, pharmaceutical products, or other aspects of the healthcare industry. Additional risks include our ability to effectively manage growth and process, store, protect, and use personal data in compliance with governmental regulation, contractual obligations, and other legal obligations related to privacy and security. If our assumptions regarding these and other similar risks and uncertainties that relate to our business, which we use to plan our business, are incorrect or change as we gain more experience operating our platform or expand into the treatment of new conditions, or if we do not address these challenges successfully, our operating and financial results could differ materially from our expectations and our business could suffer. Similar risks apply to our subsidiary cloud-based software as a service business that is exposed to many of the risks typically experienced by a new and growing company including ability to attract new customers, entrance of competitors, and other risk factors.

The telehealth market is immature and volatile, and if it does not develop, if it develops more slowly than we expect, if it encounters negative publicity or if our solution does not drive customer engagement, the growth of our business will be harmed.

With respect to our telehealth services, the telehealth market is relatively new and unproven, and it is uncertain whether it will achieve and sustain high levels of demand, consumer acceptance and market adoption. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has increased utilization of telehealth services, but it is uncertain whether such increase in demand will continue. Our success will depend to a substantial extent on the willingness of our customers to use, and to increase the frequency and extent of their utilization of, our telemedicine platform, as well as on our ability to continue to grow our existing business and expand into new indications. Negative publicity concerning our platform or brands, or the telehealth market as a whole, could limit market acceptance of our offerings. If our customers do not perceive the benefits of our telemedicine products and services, or if our products do not drive customer retention, then our market may not develop, or it may develop more slowly than we expect. Similarly, individual and healthcare industry concerns, negative publicity regarding patient confidentiality and privacy in the context of telehealth, and resistance from third party payors could limit market acceptance of our healthcare services. If any of these events occurs, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We may not be successful in launching treatments for new indications.

Our initial offerings focused on men and women seeking solutions for hair loss and men seeking treatment for erectile dysfunction. A substantial majority of our annual revenue to date has come from these two indications. We will continue to launch several indications within our current brands of focus and also launch new brands, including a tele-dermatology brand focused on skincare. This part of our business is new and still developing. We have less experience marketing to patients within these new verticals, and as a result, our efforts to attract new customers may not be as successful.

If we are unable to expand the scope of our offerings, including the number and type of products and services that we offer, the number and quality of healthcare providers serving our customers, and the number and types of conditions capable of being treated through our platform, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

We provide customers with access to non-prescription products, telehealth-based medical consultations with providers, and applicable pharmaceutical products prescribed by the providers for specific medical conditions. In order for our business to continue growing and expanding, we need to continue expanding the scope of products and services we offer our customers, including telehealth consultations and prescription and non-prescription medication for additional conditions. The introduction of new products, services, or technologies by market participants, including us, can quickly make existing products and services offered by us obsolete and unmarketable. Additionally, changes in laws and regulations (or enforcement thereof) could impact the usefulness of our platform and could necessitate changes or modifications to our platform or offerings to accommodate such changes. We invest substantial resources in researching and developing new offerings and enhancing our solutions by incorporating additional features, improving functionality, and adding other improvements to meet our customers’ evolving demands. The success of any enhancements or improvements to our services or any new offerings depends on a number of factors, including timely completion, competitive pricing, adequate quality testing, integration with new and existing technologies, and overall market acceptance. We may not succeed in developing, marketing, and delivering on a timely and cost-effective basis enhancements or improvements to our services or any new offerings that respond to continued changes in market demands or new customer requirements, and any enhancements or improvements to our services or any new offerings may not achieve market acceptance. Since developing enhancements to our services and the launch of new offerings can be complex, the timetable for the release of new offerings and enhancements to our existing services is difficult to predict, and we may not launch new offerings and updates as rapidly as our current or prospective customers require or expect. Any new offerings or service enhancements that we develop may not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner, may contain errors or defects, or may not achieve the broad market acceptance necessary to generate sufficient revenue. Moreover, even if we introduce new offerings, we may experience a decline in revenue of our existing offerings that is not offset by revenue from the new offerings. In addition, we may lose existing customers who choose a competitor’s products and services. This could result in a temporary or permanent revenue shortfall and adversely affect our business.

If we are unable to successfully market to new customers and retain existing customers, or if evolving privacy, healthcare or other laws prevent or limit our marketing activities, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be harmed.

We generate revenue from our platform by selling non-prescription health and personal care products directly to consumers and offering consumers access to telehealth consultations with providers and certain prescription medications that may be prescribed by the providers in connection with the telehealth consultations. Unless we are able to acquire new customers, and retain existing customers, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be harmed.

In order to acquire new customers and patients, and to incentivize existing customers and patients to purchase more of our offerings, we use social media platforms, search engine marketing, emails, text messages, our Patient Care Center, influencers, and many other online and offline marketing strategies to reach new customers and patients. State and federal laws and regulations governing the privacy and security of personal information, including healthcare data, are evolving rapidly and could impact our ability to identify and market to potential and existing customers. Similarly, certain federal and state laws regulate, and in some cases limit, the use of discounts, promotions, and other marketing strategies in the healthcare industry. If federal, state, or local laws governing our marketing activities become more restrictive or are interpreted by governmental authorities to prohibit or limit these activities, our ability to attract new customers and retain customers would be affected and our business could be materially harmed. In addition, any failure, or perceived failure, by us, to comply with any federal, state, or local laws or regulations governing our marketing activities could adversely affect our reputation, brand, and business, and may result in claims, proceedings, or actions against us by governmental entities, consumers, suppliers or others, or other liabilities or may require us to change our operations and/or cease using certain marketing strategies.

Changes to social networking or advertising platforms’ terms of use, terms of service, or traffic algorithms that limit promotional communications, impose restrictions that would limit our ability or our customers’ ability to send communications through their platforms, disruptions, or downtime experienced by these platforms or reductions in the use of or engagement with social networking or advertising platforms by customers and potential customers could also harm our business. As laws and regulations rapidly evolve to govern the use of these channels, the failure by us, our employees, or third parties acting at our direction to abide by applicable laws and regulations in the use of these channels could adversely affect our reputation or subject us to fines or other penalties. In addition, our employees or third parties acting at our direction may knowingly or inadvertently make use of social media in ways that could lead to the loss or infringement of intellectual property, as well as the public disclosure of proprietary, confidential or sensitive personal information of our business, employees, consumers or others. Any such inappropriate use of social media, emails and text messages could also cause reputational damage and adversely affect our business.

Additionally, we use emails, phone calls, and text messages to communicate with customers and we collect consumer data, including email addresses and phone numbers, to further our marketing efforts with such consenting consumers. If we fail to adequately or accurately collect such data or if our data collection systems are breached or information therein is misused, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be harmed. Further, any failure, or perceived failure, by us, or any third parties processing such data, to comply with privacy policies or with any federal or state healthcare, privacy, or consumer protection-related laws, regulations, industry self-regulatory principles, industry standards or codes of conduct, regulatory guidance, orders to which we may be subject, or other legal obligations relating to privacy or consumer protection could adversely affect our reputation, brand, and business, and may result in claims, proceedings, or actions against us by governmental entities, consumers, suppliers or others or other liabilities or may require us to change our operations and/or cease using certain data sets.

Our business relies heavily on Facebook, Google, Amazon and many other social networks and search engines for customer acquisition, and any changes and restrictions to the advertising policy of these platforms could materially adversely affect our net revenue and business.

Our business is highly dependent upon online advertising platforms for promoting our brands and products. Changes to advertising policies by these platforms could restrict or eliminate our ability to run advertisements for our products which would adversely impact our business. Changes in advertising costs could dramatically increase our customer acquisition costs, which could adversely affect profitability and result in us having to raise more capital to grow our business.

If we are unable to expand our marketing infrastructure, we may fail to increase the usage of our platform to meet our forecasts.

We first launched our e-commerce platform in 2016 and our telemedicine platform in December of 2019. As a result, we have only limited experience marketing our offerings and engaging customers at our current scale. We derive a substantial majority of our revenue from customers’ and patients’ subscription-based purchases of prescription and over the counter products made available through our platform. We expect to expand the conditions for which customers can seek treatment from providers, including fulfillment of prescription medication, through our platform and, as a result, new customer acquisition is integral to our business. Our financial condition and results of operations are and will continue to be highly dependent on the ability of our marketing function to adequately promote, market, and attract customers to our platform and offerings in a manner that complies with applicable laws and regulations and at a cost that does not exceed our current budget allocated to marketing.

A key element of our business strategy is the continued expansion of our marketing infrastructure, including our Patient Care Center, to drive customer and patient acquisition and retention. As we increase our marketing efforts in connection with the expansion of our platform offerings, we will need to further expand the reach of our marketing networks. Our future success will depend largely on our ability to continue to hire, train, retain, and motivate a skilled marketing workforce with significant industry-specific knowledge in various areas, including direct-to-consumer business models, ecommerce, technology, healthcare, and the regulatory restrictions related thereto, as well as the competitive landscape for our solutions.

If we are unable to expand our marketing capabilities, we may not be able to implementeffectively expand the scope of our platform to attract new customers and give our existing customers additional treatment options. Relatedly, if any of our marketing platforms significantly increase their advertising fees, our ability to expand our marketing reach will be greatly impeded. Any such failure could adversely affect our reputation, revenue, and results of operations.

Our revenue growth depends on consumers’ willingness to adopt our products, and marketing strategy successfully or on a timely basis or at all.the failure of our offerings to achieve and maintain market acceptance could result in us achieving revenue below our expectations, which could cause our business, financial condition, and results of operation to be materially and adversely affected.

 

Our growth is highly dependent upon the adoption by consumers of our products, and we are subject to a risk of any reduced demand for our products. If the market for our products does not gain broad market acceptance or develops more slowly than we expect, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results will be harmed.

Our current business strategy is highly dependent on our platform and offerings achieving and maintaining market acceptance. Market acceptance and adoption of our model and the products and services we make available depend on educating potential customers who may find our services and these products and services useful, as well as potential partners, suppliers, and providers, as to the distinct features, ease-of-use, positive lifestyle impact, cost savings, and other perceived benefits of our offerings as compared to those of competitors. If we are not successful in demonstrating to existing and potential customers the benefits of our services, our revenue may decline or we may fail to increase our revenue in line with our forecasts.

Achieving and maintaining market acceptance of our model and our services could be negatively impacted by many factors, including, to the extent they arise:

perceived risks associated with the use of our platform, telehealth or similar technologies generally, including those related to privacy and customer data;
our inability to expand into new conditions and to attract providers qualified to treat those conditions;

-16-

regulatory developments that affect our business, including in healthcare, data privacy and security, and consumer protection;
competitors offering telehealth options or technologies for customers and the rate of acceptable of those solutions as compared to our platform;
perceived difficulty or complexity of obtaining a medical consultation or prescription on our platform; and
negative reviews of providers treating our customers.

In addition, our business model and the services and products we make available may be perceived by potential customers, providers, suppliers, and partners to be less trustworthy or effective than traditional medical care or competitive telehealth options, and people may be unwilling to change their current health regimens or adopt our offerings. Consumers who have healthcare insurance coverage may not wish to use the platform to access healthcare services or products for which insurance reimbursement is not available. Moreover, we believe that providers can be slow to change their treatment practices or approaches because of perceived liability risks or distrust of departures from traditional practice. Accordingly, we may face resistance to our offerings from brick-and-mortar providers until there is overwhelming evidence to convince them to alter their current approach.

The market for our model and services is new, rapidly evolving, and increasingly competitive, as the healthcare industry in the United States is undergoing significant structural change and consolidation, which makes it difficult to forecast demand for our solutions.

The market for our products is relatively new, rapidly evolving, characterized by rapidly changing technologies, price competition, additional competitors, evolving government regulation and industry standards, and changing consumer demands and behaviors. We are expanding our business by offering access to consultation and treatment options for new conditions, and it is uncertain whether our offerings will achieve and sustain high levels of demand and market adoption. Our future financial performance depends in part on growth in this market, our ability to market effectively and in a cost-efficient manner, and our ability to adapt to emerging demands of our customers. It is difficult to predict the future growth rate and size of our target market. Negative publicity concerning telehealth generally, our offerings, customer success on our platform, or our market as a whole could limit market acceptance of our business model and services. If our customers do not perceive the benefits of our offerings, or if our offerings do not drive customer use and enrollment, then our market and our customer base may not continue to develop, or they may develop more slowly than we expect. Our success depends in large part on the willingness of providers and healthcare organizations to partner with us, increase their use of telehealth, and our ability to implement our growth strategy of expanding distribution and salesdemonstrate the value of our beta glucan oraltechnology to providers, as well as our existing and topical application products, attracting new consumerspotential customers. If providers, healthcare organizations or regulators work in opposition to us or if we are unable to reduce healthcare costs or drive positive health outcomes for our customers, then the market for our services may not continue to develop, or it might develop more slowly than we expect. Similarly, negative publicity regarding customer confidentiality and privacy in the context of telehealth could limit market acceptance of our business model and services.

The healthcare industry in the United States is continually undergoing or threatened with significant structural change and is rapidly evolving. We believe demand for our offerings has been driven in part by rapidly growing costs in the traditional healthcare system, difficulties accessing the healthcare system, patient stigma associated with sensitive medical conditions, the movement toward patient-centricity and personalized healthcare, and advances in technology. Widespread acceptance of personalized healthcare enabled by technology is critical to our brandfuture growth and introducingsuccess. A reduction in the growth of technology-enabled personalized healthcare could reduce the demand for our services and result in a lower revenue growth rate or decreased revenue. Additionally, the majority of our revenue is driven by products and services offered through our platform on a subscription basis, and the adoption of subscription business models is still relatively new, product linesespecially in the healthcare industry. If customers do not shift to subscription business models and product extensions. subscription health management tools do not achieve widespread adoption, or if there is a reduction in demand for subscription products and services or subscription health management tools, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Additionally, if healthcare or healthcare benefits trends shift or entirely new technologies are developed that replace existing offerings, our existing or future services could be rendered obsolete and require that we materially change our technology or business model. If we are unable to do so, our business could be adversely affected. In addition, we may experience difficulties with software development, industry standards, design or marketing that could delay or prevent our development, introduction, or implementation of new options on our platform and any enhancements thereto. Any such difficulties may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Competitive platforms or other technological breakthroughs for the monitoring, treatment, or prevention of medical conditions may adversely affect demand for our offerings.

Our ability to implement this growth strategy depends,achieve our strategic objectives will depend, among other things, on our ability to:to enable fast and efficient telehealth consultations, maintain comprehensive and affordable offerings, and deliver an accessible and reliable platform that is more appealing and user-friendly than available alternatives. Our competitors, as well as a number of other companies and providers, within and outside the healthcare industry, are pursuing new devices, delivery technologies, sensing technologies, procedures, treatments, drugs, and other therapies for the monitoring and treatment of medical conditions. Any technological breakthroughs in monitoring, treatment, or prevention of medical conditions that we could not similarly leverage could reduce the potential market for our offerings, which could significantly reduce our revenue and our potential to grow certain aspects of our business.

 

enter into distribution and other strategic arrangements with other potential distributors of our all-natural raw material products;

The introduction by competitors of solutions or offerings that are or claim to be superior to our platform or offerings may create market confusion, which may make it difficult for potential customers to differentiate between the benefits of our offerings and competitive solutions. In addition, the entry of multiple new products may lead some of our competitors to employ pricing strategies that could adversely affect the pricing of products and services we make available. If a competitor develops a product or business that competes with, or is perceived to be superior to our offerings, or if a competitor employs strategies that place downward pressure on pricing within our industry, our revenue may decline significantly or may not increase in line with our forecasts, either of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

increase our brand recognition;

expand and maintain brand loyalty; and

research new applications for existing products and develop new product lines and extensions.

 

We operate in highly competitive markets and face competition from large, well-established healthcare providers and more traditional retailers and pharmaceutical providers with significant resources, and, as a result, we may not be able to compete effectively.

The markets for healthcare are intensely competitive, subject to rapid change and significantly affected by new product and technological introductions and other market activities of industry participants. We compete directly not only with other established telehealth providers but also traditional healthcare providers, pharmacies, and large retailers that sell non-prescription products, including, for example, nutritional supplements, vitamins, and hair care treatments. Our current competitors include traditional healthcare providers expanding into the telehealth market, incumbent telehealth providers, as well as new entrants into our market that are focused on direct-to-consumer healthcare. Our competitors include enterprise-focused companies who may enter the direct-to-consumer healthcare industry, as well as direct-to-consumer healthcare providers. Many of our current and potential competitors may have greater name and brand recognition, longer operating histories, significantly greater resources than we do and may be able to offer products and services similar to those offered on our platform at more attractive prices than we can. Further, our current or potential competitors may be acquired by third parties with greater available resources, which has recently occurred in our industry. As a result, our competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards, or customer requirements and may have the ability to initiate or withstand substantial price competition. In addition, our competitors have established, and may in the future establish, cooperative relationships with vendors of complementary products, technologies, or services to increase the availability of their solutions in the marketplace.

New competitors or alliances may emerge that have greater market share, a larger customer base, more widely adopted proprietary technologies, greater marketing expertise, and greater financial resources, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage. For example, some state and federal regulatory authorities lowered certain barriers to the practice of telehealth in order to make remote healthcare services more accessible in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although it is unclear whether these regulatory changes will be permanent or that they will have a long-term impact on the adoption of telehealth services by the general public or legislative and regulatory authorities, these changes may result in greater competition for our business. The lower barriers to entry may allow various new competitors to enter the market more quickly and cost effectively than before the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, we believe that the COVID-19 pandemic has introduced many new users to telehealth and further reinforced its benefits to potential competitors. We believe this may drive additional industry consolidation or collaboration involving competitors that may create competitors with greater resources and access to potential customers. The COVID-19 pandemic may also cause various traditional healthcare providers to evaluate and eventually pursue telehealth options that can be paired with their in-person capabilities. These industry changes could better position our competitors to serve certain segments of our current or future markets, which could create additional price pressure. In light of these factors, even if our offerings are more effective than those of our competitors, current or potential customers may accept competitive solutions in lieu of purchasing from us.

Our salesability to compete effectively depends on our ability to distinguish our company and operatingour offerings from our competitors and their products, and includes factors such as:

accessibility, ease of use and convenience;
price and affordability;
personalization;
brand recognition;
long-term outcomes;
breadth and efficacy of offerings;
market penetration;
marketing resources and effectiveness;
partnerships and alliances;
relationships with providers, suppliers, and partners; and

If we are unable to successfully compete with existing and potential competitors, our business, financial condition, and results willof operations could be adversely affected ifaffected.

We have experienced rapid growth in recent periods and expect to continue to invest in our growth for the foreseeable future. If we fail to implementmanage our growth strategyeffectively, we may be unable to execute our business plan, maintain high levels of service, or if we invest resources in a growth strategy that ultimately proves unsuccessful.adequately address competitive challenges.

 

We have recently experienced a period of rapid growth in our headcount and operations. Our revenue grew from $12.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $37.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Our number of full-time employees has increased significantly over the last few years, from 26 employees as of December 31, 2019 to 56  employees as of December 31, 2020.

We anticipate that we will continue to significantly expand our operations and headcount in the near term as we continue to scale domestically. We also anticipate entering the international market to meet perceived demand for our offerings. We are continually executing a number of growth initiatives, strategies and operating plans designed to enhance our business. The anticipated benefits from these efforts are based on several assumptions that may prove to be inaccurate. Moreover, we may not be able to successfully complete these growth initiatives, strategies and operating plans and realize all of the benefits, including growth targets and cost savings, that we expect to achieve, or it may be more costly to do so than we anticipate.

This growth has placed, and future growth will place, a significant strain on our management, administrative, operational, and financial infrastructure. Our success will depend in part on our ability to manage this growth effectively and execute our business plan. To manage the expected growth of our operations and personnel, we will need to continue to improve our operational, financial, and management controls, and our reporting systems and procedures, and we will need to ensure that we maintain high levels of patient care and support. Failure to effectively manage growth and execute our business plan could result in difficulty or delays in increasing the size of our customer base, declines in quality of patient care, support, or satisfaction, increases in costs, difficulties in introducing new products or features, or other operational difficulties, and any of these difficulties could adversely affect our business performance and results of operations.

If we fail to develop and maintain ourwidespread brand awareness cost-effectively, our business couldmay suffer.

 

We believe that developing and maintaining our brand is critical to our success. The importance of our brand recognition may become greater as competitors offer more products similar to ours. Our brand-building activities involve increasingwidespread awareness of our brand creating and maintaining brand loyalty and increasing the availabilityin a cost-effective manner is critical to achieving widespread adoption of our products.solution and attracting new customers. Our brand promotion activities may not generate consumer awareness or increase revenue, and even if they do, any increase in revenue may not offset the expenses we incur in building our brand. If we fail to successfully promote and maintain our brand, or incur substantial expenses in doing so, we may fail to attract or retain customers necessary to realize a sufficient return on our brand-building activitiesefforts or to achieve the widespread brand awareness that is critical for broad client adoption of our brands. In addition, any factor that diminishes our reputation or that of our management, including failing to meet the expectations of our customers, providers, or partners, could harm our reputation and brand and make it substantially more difficult for us to attract new customers, providers, and partners.

If we are unsuccessful, we may never recover the expenses incurred in connection with these efforts, and we may be unable to implement our business strategyattract and increase our future sales.

We are subject to government regulation of the processing, formulation, packaging, labeling and advertising of our consumer products, and any failure to comply with such regulations could require us to repackage, recall or undergo regulatory approval of our products, which would have a material adverse effect on our business.

Under the FDCA and DSHEA companies that manufacture and distribute foods, food ingredients, cosmetics and dietary supplements in the U.S., such as our yeast beta glucan products, are limited in the claims that they are permitted to make about nutritional support on the product label without the approval of the FDA. Any failure by us to adhere to the labeling requirements could lead to the FDA requiring that our products be repackaged and relabeled, which would have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, advertising and product claims regarding the efficacy of products are also regulated by the FTC. Companies are responsible for the accuracy and truthfulness of, and must have substantiation for, any such statements. These claims must be truthful and not misleading. Statements must not claim to diagnose, mitigate, treat, cure or prevent a specific disease or class of disease. We are able to market our oral and topical application products in reliance on the GRAS status of our active ingredient, yeast beta glucan. No governmental agency or other third party has made a determination as to whether or not our products have achieved GRAS status. If the FDA, another regulatory authority or other third party denied our GRAS statusretain high quality healthcare providers for our yeast beta glucan products, we could face significant penalties or be required to undergo the regulatory approval process in order to market our products. In such event,customers, our business, financial condition, and results of operations wouldmay be materially and adversely affected as we cannot assure you that in such a situation our yeast beta glucan products would be approved.affected.

 

The FDA’s current GMPs describe policiesOur success depends on our continued ability to maintain customer access to a network of qualified healthcare providers, which include medical doctors, physician assistants, and procedures designed to ensure that dietary supplements are produced in a quality manner, do not contain contaminants or impurities, and are accurately labeled and cover the manufacturing, packaging, labeling and storing of supplements, with requirements for quality control, design and construction of manufacturing plants, testing of ingredients and final products, record keeping, and complaints processes. Those who manufacture, package or store dietary supplements must comply with current GMPs.nurse practitioners. If we or our suppliers failare unable to comply with current GMP procedures, the FDA may take enforcement action against us or our suppliers.

Any changes in the current regulatory environment could impose requirements that would limit our ability to grow and could adversely affect our results of operations. In any particular market, providers could demand higher payments or take other actions that could result in higher medical costs, less attractive service for our yeast beta glucan productscustomers, or difficulty meeting regulatory requirements. The failure to maintain or to secure new cost-effective arrangements with third party medical groups and make bringing new products to market more expensive.

Any failure to offer high-quality support may adversely affect our relationships with customers and healthcare providers, and in turn our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In using our platform, our customers depend on our patient care and support, including our Patient Care Center, to resolve issues in a timely manner. We may be unable to respond quickly enough to accommodate short-term increases in demand for patient care and support. We also may be unable to modify the nature, scope, and delivery of our offerings or patient care and support to compete with changes in solutions provided by our competitors. Increased customer demand for support could increase costs and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. WhileOur revenue is highly dependent on our yeast beta glucanreputation and on positive recommendations from our customers, providers, and partners. Any failure to maintain high-quality patient care and support or a market perception that we do not maintain high-quality patient care and support, could adversely affect our reputation, our ability to sell the offerings on our platform, and in turn our business, financial conditions, and results of operations.

We face risk that may arise from acquisitions and investments, which could result in operating difficulties, dilution, and other harmful consequences that may adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Additionally, if we are not able to identify and successfully acquire suitable businesses, our results of operations and prospects could be harmed.

We may pursue inorganic methods of growth, including strategic acquisitions and mergers in the future, to add complementary or strategic companies, products, currentlysolutions, technologies, or revenue. These transactions could be material to our results of operations and financial condition. We also expect to continue to evaluate and enter into discussions regarding a wide array of potential strategic transactions. The identification of suitable acquisition candidates can be difficult, time-consuming, and costly, and we may not be able to complete acquisitions on favorable terms, if at all. The process of integrating an acquired company, business, or technology may create unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. The related areas where we face risks include, but are categorizednot limited to:

diversion of management time and focus from operating our business to addressing acquisition integration challenges;
loss of key employees of the acquired company and other challenges associated with integrating new employees into our culture, as well as reputational harm if integration is not successful;
difficulties in integrating and managing the combined operations, technologies, technology platforms, and products of the acquired companies, and realizing the anticipated economic, operational and other benefits in a timely manner, which could result in substantial costs and delays or other operational, technical, or financial problems;

-20-

regulatory complexities of integrating or managing the combined operations or expanding into other industries or parts of the healthcare industry;
assumption of contractual obligations that contain terms that are not beneficial to us, require us to license or waive intellectual property rights, or increase our risk for liabilities;
failure to successfully further develop the acquired technology or realize our intended business strategy;
uncertainty of entry into markets in which we have limited or no prior experience or in which competitors have stronger market positions;
unanticipated costs associated with pursuing acquisitions;
failure to find commercial success with the products or services of the acquired company;
difficulty of transitioning the acquired technology onto our existing platforms and maintaining the security standards for such technology consistent with our other solutions;
failure to successfully onboard customers or maintain brand quality of acquired companies;
responsibility for the liabilities of acquired businesses, including those that were not disclosed to us or exceed our estimates, as well as, without limitation, liabilities arising out of their failure to maintain effective data protection and privacy controls and comply with applicable regulations;
failure to generate the expected financial results related to an acquisition on a timely manner or at all; and
potential accounting charges to the extent intangibles recorded in connection with an acquisition, such as goodwill, trademarks, client relationships, or intellectual property, are later determined to be impaired and written down in value.

Future acquisitions could also result in expenditures of significant cash, dilutive issuances of our equity securities, the incurrence of debt, restrictions on our business, contingent liabilities, amortization expenses, or write-offs of goodwill, any of which could harm our financial condition. In addition, any acquisitions we announce could be viewed negatively by customers, providers, partners, suppliers, or investors.

Additionally, competition within our industry for acquisitions of business, technologies and assets may become intense. Even if we are able to identify an acquisition that we would like to consummate, we may not be able to complete the acquisition on commercially reasonable terms or the target may be acquired by another company. We may enter into negotiations for acquisitions that are not ultimately consummated. Those negotiations could result in diversion of management time and significant out-of-pocket costs. If we fail to evaluate and execute acquisitions successfully, we may not be able to realize the benefits of these acquisitions, and our results of operations could be harmed. If we are unable to successfully address any of these risks, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be harmed.

Expansion into international markets can be a driver of long-term growth, when we expand into international markets, we will face additional business, political, legal, regulatory, operational, financial, and economic risks, any of which could increase our costs and hinder such growth.

Expanding our business to attract customers, providers and suppliers in countries other than the United States is an opportunity for growth for us going-forward. An important part of targeting international markets is increasing our brand awareness and establishing relationships with partners internationally. Doing business internationally involves a number of risks, including:

uncertain legal and regulatory requirements applicable to telehealth and prescription medication;
our inability to replicate our domestic business structure consistently outside of the United States, especially as it relates to our contractual arrangement with affiliated professional entities;
multiple, conflicting and changing laws and regulations such as tax laws, privacy, and data protection laws and regulations, export and import restrictions, employment laws, regulatory requirements and other governmental approvals, permits, and licenses;
obtaining regulatory approvals or clearances where required for the sale of our offerings, products, devices, and services in various countries;
requirements to maintain data and the processing of that data on servers located within the United States or in such countries;
protecting and enforcing our intellectual property rights;

-21-

logistics and regulations associated with prescribing medicine online and engaging with partner pharmacies to ship the prescribed medication;
natural disasters, political and economic instability, including wars, terrorism, social or political unrest, including civil unrest, protests, and other public demonstrations, outbreaks of disease, pandemics or epidemics, boycotts, curtailment of trade, and other market restrictions; and
regulatory and compliance risks that relate to maintaining accurate information and control over activities subject to regulation under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”), and comparable laws and regulations in other countries.

Our ability to expand our business and to attract talented employees, customers, providers, partners, and suppliers in various international markets will require considerable management attention and resources and is subject to the particular challenges of supporting a rapidly growing business in an environment of multiple languages, cultures, customs, legal systems, alternative dispute resolution systems, regulatory systems, and commercial infrastructures. Entering new international markets will be expensive, our ability to successfully gain market acceptance in any particular market is uncertain and the distraction of our senior management team could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Economic uncertainty or downturns, particularly as foods,it impacts particular industries, could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

In recent years, the United States and other significant markets have experienced cyclical downturns, and worldwide economic conditions remain uncertain. This has been the case in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Economic uncertainty and associated macroeconomic conditions make it extremely difficult for our partners, suppliers, and us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities, and could cause our customers to slow spending on our offerings and could limit the ability of our pharmacy partners to purchase sufficient quantities of pharmaceutical products from suppliers, which could adversely affect our ability to fulfill customer orders and attract new providers.

A significant downturn in the domestic or global economy may cause our customers to pause, delay, or cancel spending on our platform or seek to lower their costs by exploring alternative providers or our competitors. To the extent purchases of our offerings are perceived by customers and potential customers as discretionary, our revenue may be disproportionately affected by delays or reductions in general healthcare spending. Also, competitors may respond to challenging market conditions by lowering prices and attempting to lure away our customers.

We cannot predict the timing, strength, or duration of any economic slowdown or any subsequent recovery generally, or in any particular industry. If the conditions in the general economy and the markets in which we operate worsen from present levels, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased interest in and customer use of telehealth solutions, including our platform, and we cannot guarantee that this increased interest will continue after the pandemic.

The World Health Organization declared a global emergency on January 30, 2020 with respect to the outbreak of COVID-19 and then characterized it as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. The outbreak has spread globally, causing companies and various local, state, federal, and international jurisdictions to impose restrictions, such as quarantines, closures, cancellations, and travel restrictions. The duration of the business disruptions, travel restrictions and related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. As the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing, the complete impact of the pandemic is still unknown and rapidly evolving.

Due to COVID-19, telehealth has seen a steep increase in use across the industry, in part due to governmental waivers of statutory and regulatory restrictions that have historically limited how telehealth may be used in delivering care in certain jurisdictions. We do not know if this relaxation of regulatory barriers resulting from COVID-19 will remain or for how long. There is renewed focus on telehealth among legislatures and regulators due to COVID-19 and the expanded use of telehealth that could result in regulatory changes inconsistent with or that place additional restrictions on our current business model or operations in certain jurisdictions. If customer adoption of telehealth generally, or our platform in particular materially decreases as the COVID-19 restrictions are lifted, or if COVID-19 results in regulatory changes that limit our current activities, our industry, business, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our business depends on continued and unimpeded access to the internet and mobile networks.

Our ability to deliver our internet-based and mobile-application based services depends on the development and maintenance of the infrastructure of the internet by third parties. This includes maintenance of a reliable network backbone with the necessary speed, data capacity, bandwidth capacity, and security. Our services are designed to operate without interruption. However, we may experience future interruptions and delays in services and availability from time to time. In the event of a catastrophic event with respect to one or more of our systems or those of our service providers, we may experience an extended period of system unavailability, which could negatively impact our relationship with customers, providers, partners, and suppliers. To operate without interruption, both we and our service providers must guard against:

damage from fire, power loss, natural disasters, and other force majeure events outside our control;
communications failures;
software and hardware errors, failures, and crashes;
security breaches, computer viruses, hacking, denial-of-service attacks, and similar disruptive problems; and
other potential interruptions.

We also rely on software licensed from third parties in order to offer our services. These licenses are generally commercially available on varying terms. However, it is possible that this software may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any loss of the FDAright to use any of this software could result in delays in the provisioning of our services until equivalent technology is either developed by us, or, if available, is identified, obtained and integrated. Furthermore, our use of additional or alternative third-party software would require us to enter into license agreements with third parties, and integration of our software with new third-party software may require significant work and require substantial investment of our time and resources. Also, any undetected errors or defects in third-party software could prevent the deployment or impair the functionality of our software, delay new updates or enhancements to our solution, result in a state regulatory agencyfailure of our solution, and injure our reputation. The occurrence of any of the foregoing events could classifyhave an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Cyber security risks and the failure to maintain the integrity of data belonging to our Company could expose us to data loss, litigation and liability, and our reputation could be significantly harmed.

We collect and retain large volumes of data relating to our business and from our customers for business purposes, including for transactional and promotional purposes, and our various information technology systems enter, process, summarize, and report such data. The integrity and protection of this data is critical to our business. We are subject to significant security and privacy regulations, as well as requirements imposed by the credit card industry. Maintaining compliance with these productsevolving regulations and requirements could be difficult and may increase our expenses. In addition, a penetrated or compromised data system or the intentional, inadvertent or negligent release or disclosure of data could result in theft, loss or fraudulent or unlawful use of data relating to our company or our employees, independent distributors or preferred customers, which could harm our reputation, disrupt our operations, or result in remedial and other costs, fines or lawsuits.

Any disruption of service at Amazon Web Services, partner pharmacies or other third-party service providers could interrupt access to our platform or delay our customers’ ability to seek treatment.

We currently host our platform, serve our customers, and support our operations in the United States using Amazon Web Services (“AWS”), a provider of cloud infrastructure services, as well as through partner pharmacies and other third-party service providers, including shipping providers and contract manufacturers. We do not have control over the operations of the facilities of partner pharmacies, AWS, or other third-party service providers. Such facilities are vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires, cyber security attacks, terrorist attacks, power losses, telecommunications failures, and similar events. The occurrence of a cosmeticnatural disaster or an act of terrorism, a drug. Ifdecision to close the facilities without adequate notice, or other unanticipated problems could result in lengthy interruptions in our products are classified as cosmetics rather than a food, we wouldability to generate revenue through customer purchases on the platform. The facilities also could be limitedsubject to making claimsbreak-ins, computer viruses, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism, and other misconduct. Our platform’s continuing and uninterrupted performance is critical to our success. Because our platform is used by our customers to engage with providers who can diagnose, manage, and treat medical conditions, and pharmacies who can fulfill and ship prescription medication, it is critical that our platform be accessible without interruption or degradation of performance. Customers may become dissatisfied by any system failure that interrupts our ability to provide our platform or access to the products cleanse and beautify, rather than making structure or function claims. Ifservices offered through our yeast beta glucan products are classified as drugs, we wouldplatform to them. Outages and partner pharmacy closures could lead to claims of damages from our customers, providers, partners, suppliers, and others. We may not be able to marketeasily switch our products without going throughAWS operations to another cloud provider if there are disruptions or interference with our use of AWS. Sustained or repeated system failures could reduce the drug approval process. Eitherattractiveness of our offerings to customers and result in contract terminations, thereby reducing revenue. Moreover, negative publicity arising from these types of disruptions could damage our reputation and may adversely impact use of our platform. We may not carry sufficient business interruption insurance to compensate us for losses that may occur as a result of any events would limitthat cause interruptions in our platform. Thus, any such disruptions could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

-23-

None of our partner pharmacies, shipping providers, contract manufacturers, nor AWS have an obligation to renew their agreements with us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we are unable to renew our agreements with these third-party service providers on commercially reasonable terms, if our agreements with these providers are prematurely terminated, we may experience costs or downtime in connection with the transfer to, or the addition of, such new providers. If these third-party service providers were to increase the cost of their services, we may have to increase the price of our offerings, and our results of operations may be adversely impacted.

We depend on a number of other companies to perform functions critical to our ability to marketoperate our platform, generate revenue from customers, and to perform many of the related functions.

We depend on third party medical groups and their providers to deliver quality healthcare consultations and services through our platform. Through our platform, providers are able to prescribe medication fulfilled by a partner pharmacy. Any interruption in the availability of a sufficient number of providers or supply from our partner pharmacies could materially and adversely affect our ability to satisfy our customers and ensure they receive consultation services and any medication that they have been prescribed. If we were to lose our relationship with one of the third party medical groups, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to ensure access to a sufficient network of providers. Similarly, if we were to lose our relationship with one of our partner pharmacies in the near term before our own affiliated pharmacy is operational at scale and able to service all geographies, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to find, diligence, and engage with a replacement partner in a timely manner. Our ability to service customer requirements could be materially impaired or interrupted in the event that our relationship with a third party medical group or partner pharmacy is terminated. We also depend on cloud infrastructure providers, payment processors, suppliers of non-prescription products and packaging, and various others that allow our platform to function effectively and cost-efficiently,serve the needs of our customers. Difficulties with our significant partners and wouldsuppliers, regardless of the reason, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our payments system depends on third party service providers and is subject to evolving laws and regulations.

We have engaged third-party service providers to perform underlying card processing and currency exchange. If these service providers do not perform adequately or if our relationships with these service providers were to terminate, our ability to accept orders through the platform could be adversely affected and our business could be harmed. In addition, if these service providers increase the fees they charge us, our operating expenses could increase and if we respond by increasing the fees we charge to our customers, we could lose some of our customers.

The laws and regulations related to payments are complex and vary across different jurisdictions in the United States and globally. As a result, we are required to spend significant time and effort to comply with those laws and regulations. Any failure or claim of our failure to comply, or any failure by our third-party service providers to comply, could cost us substantial resources, could result in liabilities, or could force us to stop offering third-party payment systems. As we expand the availability of payments via third parties or offer new payment methods to our customers in the future, we may become subject to additional regulations and compliance requirements.

-24-

Further, through our agreement with our third-party credit card processor, we are indirectly subject to payment card association operating rules and certification requirements, including the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. We are also subject to rules governing electronic funds transfers. Any change in these rules and requirements could make it difficult or impossible for us to comply. Any such difficulties or failures with respect to the payment systems we utilize may have an adverse effect on our business.

Our pricing decisions may adversely affect our ability to attract new customers, healthcare providers, and other partners.

We have limited experience determining the optimal prices for our offerings. As competitors introduce new solutions that compete with our offerings, especially in the telehealth market where we face significant competition, we may be unable to attract new customers or partners at the same price or based on the same pricing models as we have used historically. Pricing decisions may also impact the mix of adoption among our services and products and negatively impact our overall revenue. As a result, in the future we may be required to reduce our prices, which could adversely affect our revenue, gross profit, profitability, financial position, and cash flows.

We depend on our talent to grow and operate our business, and if we are unable to hire, integrate, develop, motivate and retain our personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.

Our success depends in large part on our ability to attract and retain high-quality management in marketing, engineering, operations, healthcare, regulatory, legal, finance and support functions. Competition for qualified employees is intense in our industry, and the loss of even a few qualified employees, or an inability to attract, retain and motivate additional highly skilled employees required for the planned expansion of our business could harm our results of operations and impair our ability to grow. To attract and retain key personnel, we use various measures, including an equity incentive program for key executive officers and other employees. These measures may not be enough to attract and retain the personnel we require to operate our business effectively.

As we continue to grow, we may be unable to continue to attract or retain the personnel we need to maintain our competitive position. In addition to hiring new employees, we must continue to focus on retaining our best talent. Competition for these resources, particularly for engineers, is intense. We may need to invest significant amounts of cash and equity for new and existing employees and we may never realize returns on these investments. If we are not able to effectively increase and retain our talent, our ability to achieve our strategic objectives will be adversely impacted, and our business will be harmed. The loss of one or more of our key employees, and any failure to have in place and execute an effective succession plan for key employees, could seriously harm our business. Employees may be more likely to leave us if the shares of our capital stock they own, or the shares of our capital stock underlying their equity incentive awards have significantly reduced in value, or the vested shares of our capital stock they own or vested shares of our capital stock underlying their equity incentive awards have significantly appreciated. Many of our employees may receive significant proceeds from sales of our equity in the public markets once the applicable lock-up restrictions expire, which may reduce their motivation to continue to work for us.

We permit most of our employees to work remotely should their particular positions allow. While we believe that most of our operations can be performed remotely, there is no guarantee that we will be as effective while working remotely because our team is dispersed and many employees may have additional personal needs to attend to or distractions in their remote work environment. To the extent our current or future remote work policies result in decreased productivity, harm our company culture, or otherwise negatively affect our business, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

-25-

We are at risk that the non-prescription inventory that we store may become damaged, facility disruption may also harm our business.

We hold non-prescription inventory at some of our facilities. A natural disaster, fire, power interruption, work stoppage or other calamity at this facility would significantly disrupt our ability to deliver our products and operate our business. If any material amount of our facility, machinery, or inventory were damaged or unusable, we would be unable to meet our obligations to customers and wholesale partners, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Risks Related to Governmental Regulation

Government regulation of healthcare creates risks and challenges with respect to our compliance efforts and our business strategies.

The healthcare industry is subject to changing political, economic and regulatory influences that may affect companies like ours. During the past several years, the healthcare industry has been subject to an increase in governmental regulation and subject to potential disruption due to legislative initiatives and government regulation, as well as judicial interpretations thereof. While these regulations may not directly impact us or our offerings in every instance, they will affect the healthcare industry as a whole and may impact customer use of our services. We currently accept payments only from our customers - not any third-party payors, such as government healthcare programs or health insurers. Because of this approach, we are not subject to many of the laws and regulations that impact many other participants in healthcare industry. If the FDAgovernment asserts broader regulatory control over companies like us, or a state regulatory agency viewed our products as cosmetics or drugs, they could claim that the products are misbranded and requireif we determine that we repackagewill facilitate payment from and/or participate in third-party payor programs, the complexity of our operations and relabelour compliance obligations will materially increase.

If we fail to comply with applicable healthcare and other governmental regulations, we could face substantial penalties, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected, and we may be required to restructure our operations; and any changes to federal, state or international laws or regulations applicable to our company could adversely affect our business.

Our business is subject to a variety of federal, state, local, and international laws and regulations that carry substantial criminal and civil fines and penalties. Under our current business model, we accept payments only from our customers, and not from any third party payors, such as government healthcare programs or health insurers. Because of this approach, we are not subject to many of the laws and regulations that impact many other participants in healthcare industry. If the government asserts broader regulatory control over companies like ours or if we determine that we will change our business model and accept payment from and/or participate in third-party payor programs, the complexity of our operations and our compliance obligations will materially increase. Failure to comply with any applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Even within the narrowed band of applicable healthcare laws and regulations, because of the breadth of these laws and the narrowness of available statutory and regulatory exemptions, it is possible that some of our activities could be subject to challenge under one or more of such laws. Any action brought against us for violations of these laws or regulations, even if successfully defended, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert our management’s attention from the operation of our business.

Although we have adopted policies and procedures designed to comply with these laws and regulations and conduct internal reviews of our compliance with these laws, our compliance is also subject to governmental review. The growth of our business and sales organization and our future expansion outside of the United States may increase the potential of violating these laws or our internal policies and procedures. The risk of being in violation of these or other laws and regulations is further increased by the fact that many have not been fully interpreted by the regulatory authorities or the courts, and their provisions are open to a variety of interpretations. Any action brought against us for violation of these or other laws or regulations, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert our management’s attention from the operation of our business. If our operations are found to be in violation of any of the federal, state, and foreign laws described above or any other current or future fraud and abuse or other healthcare laws and regulations that apply to us, we may be subject to penalties, including significant criminal, civil, and administrative penalties, damages, and fines, disgorgement, additional reporting requirements and oversight, imprisonment for individuals and exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, as well as contractual damages and reputational harm. We could also be required to curtail or cease our operations. Any of the foregoing consequences could seriously harm our business and our financial results.

-26-

Our ability to offer access to telehealth services internationally is subject to the applicable laws governing remote care and the practice of medicine in the applicable jurisdiction. Each country’s interpretation and enforcement of these laws is evolving and could vary significantly. We cannot provide assurance that we have accurately interpreted each such law and regulation. Moreover, these laws and regulations may change significantly as this manner of providing services and products evolves. New or revised laws and imposeregulations (or interpretations thereof) could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We may be subject to environmental, health and safety laws, which could increase our costs and restrict our operations in the future.

Our operations may be subject to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. These laws and regulations concern, among other things, the generation, handling, transportation and disposal of hazardous substances or wastes, the clean-up of hazardous substance releases, and the emission or discharge of materials into the air or water. Although we currently incur limited expenditures in connection with these environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, if we fail to comply with the requirements of such laws and regulations or if such laws change significantly in the future, we could incur substantial additional costs to alter our manufacturing processes and/or adjust our supply chain management. Such changes could also result in significant inventory obsolescence. Compliance with environmental, health and safety requirements could also restrict our ability to expand our facilities in the future.

In the U.S., we conduct business in a heavily regulated industry and if we fail to comply with these laws and government regulations, we could incur penalties or be required to make significant changes to our operations or experience adverse publicity, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The U.S. healthcare industry is heavily regulated and closely scrutinized by federal, state and local governments. Comprehensive statutes and regulations govern the manner in which we provide and bill for services and collect reimbursement from governmental programs and private payors, our contractual relationships with our providers, vendors and customers, our marketing activities and other aspects of our operations. Of particular importance are:

the federal physician self-referral law, commonly referred to as the Stark Law, that, subject to limited exceptions, prohibits physicians from referring Medicare or Medicaid patients to an entity for the provision of certain “designated health services” if the physician or a member of such physician’s immediate family has a direct or indirect financial relationship (including an ownership interest or a compensation arrangement) with the entity, and prohibit the entity from billing Medicare or Medicaid for such designated health services;
the federal Anti-Kickback Statute that prohibits the knowing and willful offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of any bribe, kickback, rebate or other remuneration for referring an individual, in return for ordering, leasing, purchasing or recommending or arranging for or to induce the referral of an individual or the ordering, purchasing or leasing of items or services covered, in whole or in part, by any federal healthcare program, such as Medicare and Medicaid. A person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to have committed a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act;
the criminal healthcare fraud provisions of the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their implementing regulations, which we collectively refer to as HIPAA, and related rules that prohibit knowingly and willfully executing a scheme or artifice to defraud any healthcare benefit program or falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any material false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services. Similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to have committed a violation;

-27-

Because of the breadth of these laws and the narrowness of the statutory exceptions and safe harbors available, it is possible that some of our business activities could be subject to challenge under one or more of such laws. Achieving and sustaining compliance with these laws may prove costly. Failure to comply with these laws and other laws can result in civil and criminal penalties on us. Either or bothsuch as fines, damages, overpayment, recoupment, imprisonment. The risk of our being found in violation of these situationslaws and regulations is increased by the fact that many of them have not been fully interpreted by the regulatory authorities or the courts, and their provisions are sometimes open to a variety of interpretations. Our failure to accurately anticipate the application of these laws and regulations to our business or any other failure to comply with regulatory requirements could create liability for us and negatively affect our business. Any action against us for violation of these laws or regulations, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses, divert our management’s attention from the operation of our business and result in adverse publicity.

To enforce compliance with the federal laws, the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General, or OIG, have recently increased their scrutiny of healthcare providers, which has led to a number of investigations, prosecutions, convictions and settlements in the healthcare industry. Dealing with investigations can be time- and resource-consuming and can divert management’s attention from the business. Any such investigation or settlement could increase our costs or otherwise have an adverse effect on our business. In addition, because of the potential for large monetary exposure under the federal False Claims Act, which provides for treble damages and penalties of $11,463 to $22,927 per false claim or statement, healthcare providers often resolve allegations without admissions of liability for significant and material amounts to avoid the uncertainty of treble damages that may be awarded in litigation proceedings. Such settlements often contain additional compliance and reporting requirements as part of a consent decree, settlement agreement or corporate integrity agreement. Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, it is expected that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigating healthcare providers’ compliance with the healthcare reimbursement rules and fraud and abuse laws.

The laws, regulations and standards governing the provision of healthcare services may change significantly in the future. We cannot assure you that any new or changed healthcare laws, regulations or standards will not materially adversely affect our business. We cannot assure you that a review of our business by judicial, law enforcement, regulatory or accreditation authorities will not result in a determination that could adversely affect our operations.

State legislative and regulatory changes specific to the area of telehealth law may present the third party medical groups and independent physicians on our platform with additional requirements and state compliance costs, which may create additional operational complexity and increase costs.

Our third party medical groups and independent physicians’ ability to provide telehealth services to patients in a particular jurisdiction is dependent upon the laws that govern the provision of remote care, the practice of medicine and healthcare delivery in general in that jurisdiction. Laws and regulations governing the provision of telehealth services are evolving at a rapid pace and are subject to changing political, regulatory, and other influences. Some states’ regulatory agencies or medical boards may have established rules or interpreted existing rules in a manner that limits or restricts providers’ ability to provide telehealth services or for physicians to supervise nurse practitioners and physician assistants remotely. Additionally, there may be limitations placed on the modality through which telehealth services are delivered. For example, some states specifically require synchronous (or “live”) communications and restrict or exclude the use of asynchronous telehealth modalities, which is also known as “store-and-forward” telehealth. However, other states do not distinguish between synchronous and asynchronous telehealth services. Because this is a developing area of law and regulation, we continually monitor our compliance in every jurisdiction in which we operate. However, we cannot be assured that our third party medical groups’ or independent providers’ activities and arrangements, if challenged, will be found to be in compliance with the law or that a new or existing law will not be implemented, enforced, or changed in manner that is unfavorable to our business model. We cannot predict the regulatory landscape for those jurisdictions in which we operate and any significant changes in law, policies, or standards, or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, could occur with little or no notice. The majority of the consultations provided through our platform are asynchronous consultations for customers located in jurisdictions that permit the use of asynchronous telehealth. If there is a change in laws or regulations related to our business, or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, that adversely affects our structure or operations, including greater restrictions on the use of asynchronous telehealth or remote supervision of nurse practitioners or physician assistants, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

-28-

Evolving government regulations and enforcement activities may require increased costs or adversely affect our results of operations.

In a regulatory climate that is uncertain, our operations may be subject to direct and indirect adoption, expansion or reinterpretation of various laws and regulations. This risk is especially acute in the healthcare industry given the level of government spending, oversight and control over the industry as a whole. Compliance with these evolving laws, regulations and interpretations may require us to change our practices at an undeterminable and possibly significant initial monetary and annual expense. These additional monetary expenditures may increase future overhead, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

There could be laws and regulations applicable to our business that we have not identified or that, if changed, may be costly to us, and we cannot predict all the ways in which implementation of such laws and regulations may affect us.

In the states in which we operate, we believe we are in material compliance with all applicable material regulations, but, due to the uncertain regulatory environment, certain states may determine that we are in violation of their laws and regulations. If we must remedy such violations, we may be required to modify our business and services in such states in a manner that undermines our platform’s attractiveness to customers, we may become subject to fines or other penalties or, if we determine that the requirements to operate in compliance in such states are overly burdensome, we may elect to terminate our operations in such states. In each case, our revenue may decline and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Additionally, the introduction of new products, services, or solutions to our platform may require us to comply with additional, yet undetermined, laws and regulations. Compliance may require obtaining appropriate federal, state, or local licenses or certificates, increasing our security measures, and expending additional resources to monitor developments in applicable rules and ensure compliance. The failure to adequately comply with these future laws and regulations may delay or possibly prevent our products or services from being offered to customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Changes in public policy that mandate or enhance healthcare coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, and/or results of operations.

Our mission is to make healthcare accessible, affordable, and convenient for everyone. It is reasonably possible that our business operations and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by public policy changes at the federal, state, or local level, which include mandatory or enhanced healthcare coverage. Such changes may present us with new marketing and other challenges, which may, for example, cause use of our products and services to decrease or make doing business in particular states less attractive. If we fail to adequately respond to such changes, including by implementing effective operational and strategic initiatives, or do not do so as effectively as our competitors, our business, operations, and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

We cannot predict the enactment or content of new legislation and regulations or changes to existing laws or regulations or their enforcement, interpretation or application, or the effect they will have on our business or results of operations, which could be materially adverse. Even if we could predict such matters, we may not be able to reduce or eliminate the potential adverse impact of public policy changes that could fundamentally change the dynamics of our industry.

-29-

Changes in insurance and healthcare laws, as well as the potential for further healthcare reform legislation and regulation, have created uncertainty in the healthcare industry and could materially affect our business, financial condition, and result of operations.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, each enacted in March 2010, generally known as the “Health Care Reform Law,” significantly expanded health insurance coverage to uninsured Americans and changed the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private payers. Since then, the Health Care Reform Law has prompted legislative efforts to significantly modify or repeal the Health Care Reform Law, which may impact how the federal government responds to lawsuits challenging the Health Care Reform Law. We cannot predict what further reform proposals, if any, will be adopted, when they may be adopted, or what impact they may have on our business. While we currently only accept payments from customers—not any third parties or insurance providers—and our business model may not be directly impacted by healthcare reform, healthcare reform will impact the healthcare industry in which we operate. If we are required to comply with the Health Care Reform Law and fail to comply or are unable to effectively manage such risks and uncertainties, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

The products we sell and our third-party suppliers are subject to FDA regulations and other state and local requirements, and if we or our third party suppliers fail to comply with federal, state, and local requirements, our ability to fulfill customers’ orders through our platform could be impaired.

The products available through our platform, and the third-party suppliers and manufacturers of these products, are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and state and local authorities, including pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter drugs, over-the-counter devices, cosmetics, and dietary supplements. These authorities can enforce regulations related to methods and documentation of the testing, production, compounding, control, quality assurance, labeling, packaging, sterilization, storage, and shipping of products. Government regulations specific to pharmaceuticals are wide ranging and govern, among other things: the ability to bring a pharmaceutical to market, the conditions under which it can be sold, the conditions under which it must be manufactured, and permissible claims that may be made for such product. Failure to meet—or significant changes to—any federal, state, or local requirements attendant to the sales and marketing of a regulated product could result in enforcement actions, impede our ability to provide access to affected products, and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be subject to fines, penalties, and injunctions if we are determined to be promoting the use of products for unapproved uses.

Certain of the products available through our platform require approval by the FDA and are subject to the limitations placed by FDA on the approved uses in the product prescribing information. While providers are legally permitted to prescribe medications for off-label uses, and although we believe our product promotion is conducted in material compliance with FDA and other regulations, if the FDA determines that our product promotion constitutes promotion of an unapproved use of an approved product or of an unapproved product, the FDA could request that we modify our product promotion or subject us to regulatory and/or legal enforcement actions, including the issuance of a warning letter, injunction, seizure, civil fine, and criminal penalties. It is also possible that other federal, state, or foreign enforcement authorities might take action if they consider the product promotion to constitute promotion of an unapproved use of an approved product or of an unapproved product, which could result in significant fines or penalties under other statutes, such as laws prohibiting false claims for reimbursement.

The information that we provide to healthcare providers, customers, and our partners could be inaccurate or incomplete, which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We collect and transmit healthcare-related information to and from our customers, providers, and partner pharmacies in connection with the telehealth consultations conducted by the providers and prescription medication fulfillment by our partner pharmacies. If the data that we provide to our customers, providers, or partner pharmacies are incorrect or incomplete or if we make mistakes in the capture or input of these data, our reputation may suffer and we could be subject to claims of liability for resulting damages. While we maintain insurance coverage, this coverage may prove to be inadequate or could cease to be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. Even unsuccessful claims could result in substantial costs and the diversion of management resources. A claim brought against us that is uninsured or under-insured could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our use, disclosure, and other processing of personally identifiable information, including health information, is subject to federal, state, and foreign privacy and security regulations, and our failure to comply with those regulations or to adequately secure the information we hold could result in significant liability or reputational harm and, in turn, a material adverse effect on our customers, providers, and revenue.

Numerous state and federal laws and regulations govern the collection, dissemination, use, privacy, confidentiality, security, availability, integrity, and other processing of health information and other types of personal data or personally identifiable information (“PII”). We believe that, because of our operating processes, we are not a covered entity or a business associate under HIPAA, which establishes a set of national privacy and security standards for the protection of protected health information by health plans, healthcare clearinghouses, and certain healthcare providers, referred to as covered entities, and the business associates with whom such covered entities contract for services. Notwithstanding that we do not believe that we meet the definition of a covered entity or business associate under HIPAA, we have executed business associate agreements with certain other parties and have assumed obligations that are based upon HIPAA-related requirements.

We have developed and maintained policies and procedures with respect to health information and personal information that we use or disclose in connection with our operations, including the adoption of administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect such information.

In addition to HIPAA, numerous other federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations protect the confidentiality, privacy, availability, integrity and security of health information and other types of PII, including the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act. These laws and regulations in many cases are more restrictive than, and may not be preempted by, HIPAA and its implementing rules. These laws and regulations are often uncertain, contradictory, and subject to changed or differing interpretations, and we expect new laws, rules and regulations regarding privacy, data protection, and information security to be proposed and enacted in the future. This complex, dynamic legal landscape regarding privacy, data protection, and information security creates significant compliance issues for us, the Affiliated Medical Groups and the providers and potentially exposes us to additional expense, adverse publicity, and liability. While we have implemented data privacy and security measures in an effort to comply with applicable laws and regulations relating to privacy and data protection, some health information and other PII or confidential information is transmitted to us by third parties, who may not implement adequate security and privacy measures, and it is possible that laws, rules, and regulations relating to privacy, data protection, or information security may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our practices or those of third parties who transmit health information and other PII or confidential information to us. If we or these third parties are found to have violated such laws, rules or regulations, it could result in government-imposed fines, orders requiring that we or these third parties change our or their practices, or criminal charges, which could adversely affect our business. Complying with these various laws and regulations could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices, systems, and compliance procedures in a manner adverse to our business.

We also publish statements to our customers through our privacy policy that describe how we handle health information or other PII. If federal or state regulatory authorities or private litigants consider any portion of these statements to be untrue, we may be subject to claims of deceptive practices, which could lead to significant liabilities and consequences, including, without limitation, costs of responding to investigations, defending against litigation, settling claims, and complying with regulatory or court orders. Any of the foregoing consequences could seriously harm our business and our financial results. Furthermore, the costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, the laws, regulations and policies that are applicable to us may limit customers’ use and adoption of, and reduce the overall demand for, our platform. Any of the foregoing consequences could have a material adverse impact on our business and our financial results.

InPublic scrutiny of internet privacy and security issues may result in increased regulation and different industry standards, which could deter or prevent us from providing services to our customers, thereby harming our business.

The regulatory framework for privacy and security issues worldwide is evolving and is likely to remain in flux for the European Union,foreseeable future. Various government and consumer agencies have also called for new regulation and changes in industry practices. Practices regarding the registration, collection, processing, storage, sharing, disclosure, use and security of personal and other information by companies offering an online service like our platform have recently come under increased public scrutiny.

For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), which went into effect on January 1, 2020, requires, among other things, covered companies to provide new disclosures to California consumers and afford such consumers new abilities to opt-out of certain sales of personal information. Similar legislation has been proposed or adopted in other states. Aspects of the EU, markets, the European Food Safety Authority, or EFSA, an advisory panel to the European Commission, performs all scientific assessments of health claims on foodCCPA and supplement labels. The European Commission will consider the opinions of EFSA in determining whether to include a health claim on the list of permissible claims. Once published, only health claims for ingredientsthese other state laws and products included on the listregulations, as well as their enforcement, remain unclear, and we may be usedrequired to modify our practices in promotional materials for products marketedan effort to comply with them. Additionally, a new privacy law, the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), was passed on November 3, 2020 and soldwill enter into force on January 1, 2023, with a look-back to January 2022. The CPRA will significantly modify the CCPA, potentially resulting in further uncertainty and requiring us to incur additional costs and expenses.

Our business, including our ability to operate and to expand internationally, could be adversely affected if legislation or regulations are adopted, interpreted, or implemented in a manner that is inconsistent with our current business practices and that require changes to these practices, the European Union. The marketabilitydesign of our products may be limited as we look to expandwebsites, mobile applications, solutions, features, or our sales inprivacy policies. In particular, the EU if the health claimssuccess of our products are not included on the list.

We have subjected,business has been, and we expect will continue to subject,be, driven by our productsability to testingresponsibly gather and analysis. use data from data subjects. Therefore, our business could be harmed by any significant change to applicable laws, regulations, or industry standards or practices regarding the storage, use, or disclosure of data our customers or providers share with us, or regarding the manner in which the express or implied consent of customers or providers for such collection, analysis, and disclosure is obtained. Such changes may require us to modify our platform, possibly in a material manner, and may limit our ability to develop new offerings, functionality or features.

If the findings of these studiesour security measures fail or are challenged or found insufficientbreached and unauthorized access to supporta consumer’s data is obtained, our health claims,services may be perceived as insecure, we may need to perform additional testingincur significant liabilities, our reputation may be harmed, and analysis before we are able to successfully market such products.could lose sales and customers.

 

AlthoughOur services involve the storage and transmission of customers’ and our yeast beta glucan productsvendors’ proprietary information, sensitive or confidential data, including valuable intellectual property and personal information of employees, consumers, customers and others, as well as the protected health information, or PHI, of our customers. Because of the extreme sensitivity of the information we store and transmit, the security features of our computer, network, and communications systems infrastructure are supplements, as opposedcritical to drugs, wethe success of our business. A breach or failure of our security measures could result from a variety of circumstances and events, including third-party action, employee negligence or error, malfeasance, computer viruses, cyber-attacks by computer hackers, failures during the process of upgrading or replacing software and databases, power outages, hardware failures, telecommunication failures, user errors, or catastrophic events. Information security risks have subjected,generally increased in recent years because of the proliferation of new technologies and willthe increased sophistication and activities of perpetrators of cyber-attacks. As cyber threats continue to subject, our products to testing and analysis to ensure thatevolve, we are able to continue to deliver a superior product so that we may successfully market such products, though no such trials are currently required for marketing approval by the FDA or any comparable regulatory body. Testing and analysis for new product uses can require a significant amount of resources and there is no assurance that the results will be favorable to the claims we make for our products, or that they will be sufficient to support our claims. If the findings of our testing and analysis are challenged or found to be insufficient to support our claims, additional testing and analysis may be required beforeto expend additional resources to further enhance our information security measures and/or to investigate and remediate any information security vulnerabilities. If our security measures fail or are breached, it could result in unauthorized persons accessing sensitive consumer or partner data (including PHI), a loss of or damage to our data, an inability to access data sources, or process data or provide our services to our customers. Such failures or breaches of our security measures, or our inability to effectively resolve such failures or breaches in a timely manner, could severely damage our reputation, adversely affect customers, vendors or investor confidence in us, and reduce the demand for our services from existing and potential customers. In addition, we could face litigation, damages for contract breach, monetary penalties, or regulatory actions for violation of applicable laws or regulations, and incur significant costs for remedial measures to prevent future occurrences and mitigate past violations. Although we maintain insurance covering certain security and privacy damages and claim expenses, we may not carry insurance or maintain coverage sufficient to compensate for all liability and in any event, insurance coverage would not address the reputational damage that could result from a security incident.

We may experience cyber-security and other breach incidents that remain undetected for an extended period. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventive measures. If an actual or perceived breach of our security occurs, or if we are ableunable to successfullyeffectively resolve such breaches in a timely manner, the market perception of the effectiveness of our products. No such testingsecurity measures could be harmed and analysis has been, nor will it be when conducted,we could lose sales, customers, and vendors which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, and financial results.

Failure to comply with anti-bribery, anti-corruption, and anti-money laundering laws could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.

We are subject to the approval byFCPA and other anti-corruption, anti-bribery, and anti-money laundering laws in the FDAjurisdictions in which we do business, both domestic and abroad. These laws generally prohibit us and our employees from improperly influencing government officials or commercial parties in order to obtain or retain business, direct business to any comparable regulatory body.person or gain any improper advantage. The FCPA and similar applicable anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws also prohibit our third-party business partners, representatives, and agents from engaging in corruption and bribery. We and our third-party business partners, representatives, and agents may have direct or indirect interactions with officials and employees of government agencies or state-owned or affiliated entities. We may be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of these third-party business partners and intermediaries, our employees, representatives, contractors, channel partners, and agents, even if we do not explicitly authorize such activities. These laws also require that we keep accurate books and records and maintain internal controls and compliance procedures designed to prevent any such actions. While we have policies and procedures to address compliance with such laws, we cannot assure that our employees and agents will not take actions in violation of our policies or applicable law, for which we may be ultimately held responsible. Our exposure for violating these laws will increase as we expand internationally and as we commence sales and operations in foreign jurisdictions. Any violation of the FCPA or other applicable anti-bribery, anti-corruption, and anti-money laundering laws could result in whistleblower complaints, adverse media coverage, investigations, imposition of significant legal fees, loss of export privileges, severe criminal or civil sanctions, or suspension or debarment from U.S. government contracts, substantial diversion of management’s attention, drop in stock price, or overall adverse consequences to our business, all of which may have an adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

If we undertake product recallsRisks Related to Intellectual Property

Failure to protect or incur liability claimsenforce our intellectual property rights could harm our business and results of operations.

Our intellectual property includes a combination of patent, copyright, service mark, trademark, and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual restrictions, to establish and protect our proprietary rights, all of which provide only limited protection. We cannot assure you that any patents will issue with respect to our yeast beta glucancurrently pending patent applications, in a manner that gives us the protection that we seek, if at all, or that any future patents issued to us will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Our currently issued patents and any patents that we may issue in the future, with respect to pending or future patent applications, may not provide sufficient broad protection or they may not prove to be enforceable in actions against alleged infringers. Also, we cannot assure you that any future service mark registrations will be issued with respect to pending or future applications or that any registered service marks will be enforceable or provide adequate protection of our proprietary rights.

In addition, from time to time we make our technology and other intellectual property available to others under license agreements, including open source license agreements and trademark licenses under agreements with our partners for the purpose of co-branding or co-marketing our products or services. We endeavor to enter into agreements with our employees and contractors and agreements with parties with whom we do business in order to limit access to and disclosure of our proprietary information. We cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent unauthorized use of our technology or the reverse engineering of our technology. Moreover, others may independently develop technologies that are competitive to ours or infringe our intellectual property.

We strive to protect our intellectual property rights by relying on federal, state, and common law rights and other rights provided under foreign laws. These laws are subject to change at any time and could further restrict our ability to protect or enforce our intellectual property rights. In addition, the existing laws of certain foreign countries in which we operate may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. The enforcement of our intellectual property rights also depends on our legal actions against these infringers being successful, but we cannot be sure these actions will be successful, even when our rights have been infringed. Furthermore, effective patent, trademark, service mark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which our services are available over the Internet. We may, over time, increase our investment in protecting innovations through investments in filings, registrations, or similar steps to protect our intellectual property, and these processes are expensive and time-consuming.

-33-

We may be in the future subject to claims that we violated intellectual property rights of others, which are extremely costly to defend and could require us to pay significant damages and limit our ability to operate.

Companies in our industry, and other intellectual property rights holders seeking to profit from royalties in connection with grants of licenses, own large numbers of patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets and frequently enter into litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. Our future success depends in part on not infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others. We have in the past and may in the future receive notices that claim we have misappropriated, infringed, or otherwise misused other parties’ intellectual property rights. We may be unaware of the intellectual property rights of others that may cover some or all of our technology. Because patent applications can take years to issue and are often afforded confidentiality for some period of time, there may currently be pending applications, unknown to us, that later result in issued patents that could cover our technology.

Any intellectual property claim against us or parties indemnified by us, regardless of merit, could be time consuming and expensive to settle or litigate and could divert our management’s attention and other resources. These claims also could subject us to significant liability for damages and could result in our having to stop using technology, content, branding, or business methods found to be in violation of another party’s rights. We might be required or may opt to seek a license for rights to intellectual property held by others, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Even if a license is available, we could be required to pay significant royalties, which would increase our operating expenses. We may also be required to develop alternative non-infringing technology, content, branding or business methods, which could require significant effort and expense, be infeasible, or make us less competitive in the market. Such disputes could also disrupt our business, which would adversely impact our customer satisfaction and ability to attract customers. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of complex patent litigation more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources. If we cannot license or develop technology, content, branding, or business methods for any allegedly infringing aspect of our business, we may be unable to compete effectively. Additionally, we may be obligated to indemnify our customers in connection with litigation and to obtain licenses or refund subscription fees, which could further exhaust our resources. In the case of infringement or misappropriation caused by technology that we obtain from third parties, any indemnification or other contractual protections we obtain from such recallsthird parties, if any, may be insufficient to cover the liabilities we incur as a result of such infringement or misappropriation. Any of these results could harm our results of operations.

We may be subject to legal proceedings and litigation, including intellectual property disputes, which are costly to defend and could materially harm our business and results of operations.

We may be party to lawsuits and legal proceedings in the normal course of business. These matters are often expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. We may face allegations, lawsuits, and regulatory inquiries, audits, and investigations regarding data privacy, security, labor and employment, consumer protection, practice of medicine, and intellectual property infringement, including claims related to privacy, patents, publicity, trademarks, copyrights, and other rights. A portion of the technologies we use incorporates open source software, and we may face claims claiming ownership of open source software or patents related to that software, rights to our intellectual property or breach of open source license terms, including a demand to release material portions of our source code or otherwise seeking to enforce the terms of the applicable open source license. We may also face allegations or litigation related to our acquisitions, securities issuances, or business practices, including public disclosures about our business. Litigation and regulatory proceedings, and particularly the healthcare regulatory and class action matters we could face, may be protracted and expensive, and the results are difficult to predict. Certain of these matters may include speculative claims for substantial or indeterminate amounts of damages and include claims for injunctive relief. Additionally, our litigation costs could be significant. Adverse outcomes with respect to litigation or any of these legal proceedings may result in significant settlement costs or judgments, penalties and fines, or require us to modify our solution or require us to stop offering certain features, all of which could negatively impact our acquisition of customers and revenue growth. We may also become subject to periodic audits, which could likely increase our regulatory compliance costs and may require us to change our business practices, which could negatively impact our revenue growth. Managing legal proceedings, litigation and audits, even if we achieve favorable outcomes, is time-consuming and diverts management’s attention from our business.

-34-

The results of regulatory proceedings, litigation, claims, and audits cannot be predicted with certainty, and determining reserves for pending litigation and other legal, regulatory and audit matters requires significant judgment. There can be no assurance that our expectations will prove correct, and even if these matters are resolved in our favor or without significant cash settlements, these matters, and the time and resources necessary to litigate or resolve them, could harm our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we incur product liability claims, such claims could increase our costs andcosts; adversely affect our reputation, business and results of operations.operations; and we may not be able to maintain or obtain insurance.

 

Our yeast beta glucanbusiness involves third-party medical providers performing medical consultations and, if warranted, prescribing medication to our customers. This activity, as well as the sale of other products on our platform, exposes us to the risk of negligence and product liability claims.

Some of our products are designed for human consumption and use, and we face product recalls or liability claims if the use of our products is alleged to have resulted in injury or death.death claims may be made by customers, third-party service providers or manufacturers of products and services we make available. To date, we have not (i) conducted any product recalls, (ii) received any product liability claims from third parties, or (iii) received any reports from an end consumer of any adverse effect resulting from our products. Yeast beta glucan is classified as a food ingredient and is not subject to pre-market regulatory approval in the U.S. However, our yeast beta glucan products contain ingredients that do not have long histories of human consumption. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from consumption of these ingredients could occur. We may have to undertake various product recalls or be subject to liability claims, including, among others, that our yeast beta glucan products include inadequate instructions for use or inadequate warnings concerning possible side effects and interactions with other substances. A product recall or liability claim against us could result in increased costs and could adversely affect our reputation with our customers, which, in turn, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We currently While we do not maintain product liability insurance coverage. Product liabilitycoverage, this insurance is expensive, is subject to deductibles and coverage limitations, and may not be available to us in the future. In addition, we cannot be sure that we will be able to obtain or maintain insurance coverage at acceptable costs or in a sufficient amount, that our insurer will not disclaim coverage as to a future claim or that a product liability claim would not otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The cost of any product liability litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial.substantial, could divert management attention, and may result in adverse publicity or result in reduced acceptance of our platform and offerings. These liabilities could prevent or interfere with our growth and expansion efforts. Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of product liability litigation or other proceedings could have an adverse effect on our ability to compete in the marketplace. Product liability

We rely on data center providers, Internet infrastructure, bandwidth providers, third-party computer hardware and software, other third parties and our own systems for providing services to our customers and vendors, and any failure or interruption in the services provided by these third parties or our own systems could expose us to litigation and other related proceedings may also require significant management attention.negatively impact our relationships with customers, adversely affecting our brand and our business.

We derive a substantial partWhile we control and have access to our servers, we do not control the operation of these facilities. The cloud vendor and the owners of our sales from two major customers. If we lose either of these customers, or they reduce the amount of business they dodata center facilities have no obligation to renew their agreements with us on commercially reasonable terms, or if they fail to meet their obligations to us, our sales, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.

Our largest customer, Michel Mercier Products, Inc. (d/b/a M.M.P, Inc.) (“MMP”), accounted for 73% of our sales in 2015 and 79% of our sales in 2014. Our relationship with MMP is governed by a written contract, which is subject to a confidentiality agreement. The initial term of our contract with MMP will expire on December 19, 2016. Pursuant to its terms, the written contract will be automatically renewed for continuous one-year periods unless either party gives notice of its intent to terminate at least 90 days prior to the expiration of any renewal term. Additionally, our second largest customer accounted for 12% of our sales in 2015 and 12% of our sales in 2014.all. If we lose either of these customers or they reduce the amount of business they do with us, our sales and profitability would be adversely affected. In addition, we are subject to credit risk due to concentration of our trade accounts receivables, and the inability of either of these customers to meet their obligations to us would adversely affect our financial results. At December 31, 2015, accounts receivable from MMP amounted to 43% and at December 31, 2014 accounts receivable from MMP amounted to 100% of total accounts receivable. We are making progress in decreasing our reliance on these two customers, as evidenced by our increased sales in our finished nutraceutical and cosmetic products business segment. However, if we lose either of these customers or they reduces the amount of business they does with us, or if they fail to meet their obligations to us, our sales, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.

Our yeast beta glucan products face various forms of competition from other products in the marketplace, which could adversely affect our market share and result in a decrease in our future sales and earnings.

The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are characterized by intense competition, rapid product development and technological change. Most of the competition that our yeast beta glucan products face comes from companies that are larger and more well established, with greater financial, marketing, sales and technological resources than we have. Our products compete with a range of consumer and nutraceutical products. Our commercial success will depend on our ability to compete effectively in marketing and product development areas including, but not limited to, sales and branding, product safety, efficacy, ease-of-use, customer compliance, price, marketing and distribution. There can be no assurance that competitors will not succeed in developing and marketing products that are more desirable or effective than our products or that would render our products obsolete and non-competitive.

We may, in the future, be subject to risks of doing business internationally as we attempt to expand our sales through international consulting and distributor relationships.

We anticipate entering into international consulting and distributor agreements for our yeast beta glucan products. As a result, we expect to increase our revenues from international sales. A number of factors can prevent international sales, or substantially increase the cost of international sales, and we may encounter certain risks of doing business internationally including the following:

increased government regulation of the processing, formulation, packaging, labeling and advertising of our consumer products for international markets;

reduced protection and enforcement for our intellectual property rights;

unexpected changes in, or impositions of, legislative or regulatory requirements that may limit our ability to sell our products and repatriate funds to the U.S.;

political and economic instability;

fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;

difficulties in developing and maintaining distributor relationships in foreign countries;

difficulties in negotiating acceptable contractual terms and enforcing contractual obligations;

exposure to liabilities under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act;

9

potential trade restrictions and exchange controls;

creditworthiness of foreign distributors, customer uncertainty and difficulty in foreign accounts receivable collection; and

the burden of complying with foreign laws.

As we attempt to expand our sales internationally, our exposure to these risks could result in our inability to attain the anticipated benefits of expanding internationally and our business could be adversely impacted. Our success will depend, in large part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other risks associated with our international operations. However, any of these factors could adversely affect our international operations and, consequently, our operating results.

If we lose our President, or are unable to attract and retain additional qualified personnel, the quality of our products may decline and our business may be adversely affected.

We rely heavily on the expertise, experience and continued services of our President, Mark McLaughlin. Loss of his services could adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objectives, if we are unable to find a suitable replacement. Mr. McLaughlin is an integral factor in establishing relationships and the continued developmentrenew these agreements on commercially reasonable terms, or if one of our business depends upon his continued employment. If he were to resigncloud vendors or retire, we would have to find a suitable replacement who shared his expertise and relationships. Any delay in finding a suitable replacement would adversely affect the pace at which we are able to successfully grow our business and could harm our existing business, resulting in a decrease in sales and revenue. We have entered into an employment agreement with Mr. McLaughlin that includes provisions for non-competition and confidentiality that expires in October 2017.

We believe our future success will depend upon our ability to retain key employees and our ability to attract and retain other skilled personnel and consultants. While we have been able to find a sufficient number of skilled personnel consistent with our growth to date, we cannot guarantee that any employee will remain employed by us for any period of time or that we will be able to attract, train or retain qualified personnel in the future consistent with our growth. Such loss of personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business and company. Furthermore, we may need to employ additional personnel to expand our business. Qualified employees and consultants in the dietary supplement industry are in great demand and may be unavailable in the time frame required to satisfy our customers’ requirements. Theredata center operators is no assurance we will be able to attract and retain sufficient numbers of highly skilled employees in the future. The loss of personnel or our inability to hire or retain sufficient personnel at competitive rates could impair the growth of our business.

Current and future economic and market conditions could adversely affect demand for our products.

The U.S. economy and the global economy are recovering from a severe recession. Factors such as uncertainties in consumer spending, a sustained regional and global economic downturn or slow recovery may reduce the demand for our yeast beta glucan products. Furthermore, challenging economic conditions also may impair the ability of our customers to pay for our commercial, direct-to-consumer products. Consumer spending for our yeast beta glucan products generally is considered a discretionary purchase because they are non-prescription nutraceutical supplements and nutricosmetics, and we may experience a more negative impact on our business due to these conditions than other companies that do not depend on discretionary spending. If demand for our products declines or our customers are otherwise unable to pay for our products,acquired, we may be required to offer extensive discountstransfer our servers and other infrastructure to a new vendor or spend morea new data center facility, and we may incur significant costs and possible service interruption in connection with doing so. Problems faced by our cloud vendors or third-party data center locations with the telecommunications network providers with whom we or they contract or with the systems by which our telecommunications providers allocate capacity among their customers, including us, could adversely affect the experience of our customers. Our cloud vendors or third-party data center operators could decide to close their facilities without adequate notice. In addition, any financial difficulties, such as bankruptcy faced by our cloud vendors or third-party data centers operators or any of the service providers with whom we or they contract may have negative effects on marketing than budgetedour business, the nature and our revenues, expense levels and profitability will be adversely affected.extent of which are difficult to predict.

 

We need additional capitalAdditionally, if our cloud or data centers vendors are unable to continue to conductkeep up with our business, executegrowing needs for capacity, this could have an adverse effect on our business plan and fund operations. We may not be able to obtain such capital on acceptable terms or at all.

In connection with the development andbusiness. For example, a rapid expansion of our business could affect the service levels at our cloud vendors or data centers or cause such cloud systems or data centers and systems to fail. Any changes in third-party service levels at our cloud vendors or data centers or any disruptions or other performance problems with our solution could adversely affect our reputation and may damage our customers’ stored files or result in lengthy interruptions in our services. Interruptions in our services may reduce our revenue, cause us to issue refunds to customers for prepaid and unused subscriptions, subject us to potential liability or adversely affect client renewal rates.

-35-

In addition, our ability to deliver our Internet-based services depends on the development and maintenance of the infrastructure of the Internet by third parties. This includes maintenance of a reliable network backbone with the necessary speed, data capacity, bandwidth capacity and security. Our services are designed to operate without interruption in accordance with our service level commitments. However, we incur significant capitalhave experienced and operational expenses. We believeexpect that we can increasemay experience future interruptions and delays in services and availability from time to time. In the event of a catastrophic event with respect to one or more of our salessystems, we may experience an extended period of system unavailability, which could negatively impact our relationship with customers. To operate without interruption, both we and net income by implementing a growth strategy that focuses on (i) diversifying revenues to include greater direct-to-consumer and healthcare professional sales and (ii) expanding our distribution to Europe and Asia. To implement our growth strategy, we anticipate (i) increasing our marketing to healthcare professionals and end consumers, (ii) entering into distribution agreements with manufacturers and formulators in Europe and Asia and (iii) developing our branded product lines.service providers must guard against:

damage from fire, power loss, natural disasters and other force majeure events outside our control;
communications failures;
software and hardware errors, failures and crashes;
security breaches, computer viruses, hacking, denial-of-service attacks and similar disruptive problems;
business interruptions resulting from geo-political actions, including war, and terrorism or disease outbreaks (such as the recent outbreak of COVID-19, or the novel coronavirus); and
other potential interruptions.

 

We plan onexercise limited control over third-party vendors, which increases our operating business (in conjunctionvulnerability to problems with our short term non-dilutive borrowings) to be able to fund operations through 2016. However, if available funds are not sufficient to meet our current operating expenses or plans for expansion, we plan to pursue alternative financing arrangements, including bank loans, advances from our directorstechnology and officers or funds raised through offerings of our equity or debt. Our ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms or at all is subject to a variety of uncertainties, including: investors’ perceptions of, and demand for, companiesinformation services they provide. Interruptions in our industry; conditions of the U.S.network access and other capital markets in which weservices may seek to raise funds; our future results of operations, financial condition and cash flows; and economic, political and other conditions in the U.S.

There is no assurance we will be successful in locating a suitable financing transaction in a timely fashion or at all. In addition, there is no assurance we will obtain the capital we require by any other means. Future financings through equity investments are likely to be dilutive to our existing shareholders. Also, the rights and preferences of securities we may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable for our new investors. Newly-issued securities may include preferences or superior voting rights, be combined with the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, or be the issuances of incentive awards under equity employee incentive plans, which may have additional dilutive effects. Furthermore, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securitiesthird-party technology and information services reduce our revenue, cause us to issue refunds to customers for prepaid and unused subscription services, subject us to potential liability or adversely affect client renewal rates. Although we maintain a security and privacy damages insurance policy, the coverage under our policies may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impactnot be adequate to compensate us for all losses that may occur related to the services provided by our financial condition.

If we cannot raise additional funds on favorable terms or at all,third-party vendors. In addition, we may not be able to carry out allcontinue to obtain adequate insurance coverage at an acceptable cost, if at all.

Risks Related to Our Results of Operations and Additional Capital Requirements

Our results of operations, as well as our key metrics, may fluctuate on a quarterly and annual basis, which may result in us failing to meet the expectations of industry and securities analysts or partsour investors.

Our results of operations have in the past and could in the future vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year and may fail to match the expectations of securities analysts because of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our strategy to maintain our growthcontrol and, competitiveness or to continue operations.

Weas a result, should not be relied upon as an indicator of future performance. As a result, we may not be able to protectaccurately forecast our proprietary rights adequately,results of operations and growth rate. Any of these events could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate. Factors that may contribute to the variability of our results of operations include:

new developments on our platform or in our product offerings;
our ability to attract and retain providers to our platform;
changes in our pricing policies and those of our competitors;
our ability to execute our plans to add treatment options and provider expertise for additional medical conditions;
long-term treatment outcomes of customers on our platform;
medical, technological, or other innovations in our industry or in connection with specific products that we make available on our platform;
our ability to maintain relationships with customers, partners, and suppliers;
our ability to retain key members of our executive leadership team;
breaches of security or privacy;
the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures related to the expansion of our business;
costs related to litigation, investigations, regulatory enforcement actions, or settlements;

-36-

changes in the legislative or regulatory environment, including with respect to practice of medicine, telehealth, privacy or data protection, or enforcement by government regulators, including fines, orders, or consent decrees;
announcements by competitors or other third parties of significant new products or acquisitions or entrance into certain markets;
our ability to make accurate accounting estimates and appropriately recognize revenue for our platform and offerings for which there are no relevant comparable products;
instability in the financial markets;
global economic conditions;
the duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic; and
political, economic and social instability, including terrorist activities, and any disruption these events may cause to the global economy.

The impact of one or more of the foregoing and other factors may cause our results of operations to vary significantly. As such, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations may not be meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.

We rely significantly on revenue from customers purchasing subscription-based prescription products and may not be successful in expanding our offerings.

To date the majority of our revenue has been, and we expect it to continue to be, derived from customers who purchase subscription-based prescription products through the platform. In our subscription arrangements, customers select a cadence at which they wish to receive product shipments. These customers generate a substantial majority of our revenue. The introduction of competing offerings with lower prices for consumers, fluctuations in prescription prices, changes in consumer purchasing habits, including an increase in the use of mail-order prescriptions, changes in the regulatory landscape, and other factors could result in changes to our contracts or a decline in our revenue, which may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Because we derive a vast majority of our revenue from customers who purchase subscription-based prescription products, any material decline in the use of such offerings could have a pronounced impact on our future revenue and results of operations, particularly if we are unable to expand our offerings overall.

We will incur increased costs and demands upon management as a result of complying with the laws and regulations affecting public companies, which could adversely affect our competitive positionbusiness, results of operations, and reduce the value of our products and brands, and litigation to protect our intellectual property rights may be costly.financial condition.

 

We attempt to strengthen and differentiate our products by developing new and innovative yeast beta glucan products and manufacturing processes. As a result, our patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights are important assets to our business. Our successpublic company, we will depend in part on our ability to obtain and protect our products, methods, processes and other technologies, to preserve our trade secrets, and to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties in the U.S. and other international markets. Despite our efforts, any of the following may reduce the value of our owned and used intellectual property:

issued patents and trademarks that we own or have the right to use may not provide us with any competitive advantages;

11

our efforts to protect our proprietary rights may not be effective in preventing misappropriation of our intellectual property;

our efforts may not prevent the development and design by others of products or technologies similar to or competitive with, or superior to those we use or develop;

another party may obtain a blocking patent and we would need to either obtain a license or design around the patent in order to continue to offer the contested feature in our products or services; or 
we may not have the financial resources to aggressively protect our intellectual property.

Policing the unauthorized use of our proprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. Litigation might be necessary to protect our intellectual property rights, which may be costly and may divert our management’s attention away from our core business. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that litigation would result in an outcome favorable to us. To date, we have no knowledge of any infringement of our intellectual property by third parties. If we are unable to protect our proprietary rights adequately, it would have a negative impact on our operations.

We may be subject to claims that we have infringed the proprietary rights of others, which could require us to obtain a license or otherwise change our manufacturing processes or product offerings.

Although we do not believe any of our products or manufacturing processes infringe upon the proprietary rights of others, there is no assurance that infringement or invalidity claims, or claims for indemnification resulting from infringement claims, will not be asserted or prosecuted against us or that any such assertions or prosecutions will not have a material adverse effect on our business. To date, we are not aware of any material infringement nor have we been put on notice by third parties of any material infringement of proprietary rights of others. Regardless of whether any such claims are valid or can be asserted successfully, defending against such claims could cause us to incur significant costs and could divert resources away from our other activities. In addition, assertion of infringement claims could result in injunctions that prevent us from distributing our products. If any claims or actions are asserted against us, we may seek to obtain a license to the intellectual property rights that are in dispute. Such a license may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all, which could force us to change our manufacturing processes or product offerings.

We incur significant costs as a result of our operating as a public reporting company and our management’s requirement to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

While we are a public company quoted on the OTC Markets-OTCQB, our compliance costs prior to the effectiveness of our registration statement were not substantial in light of our limited operations and limited public reporting obligations. As a company subject to public reporting requirements underof the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or(the “Exchange Act”), the listing standards of NASDAQ, and other applicable securities rules and regulations. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems, and resources. For example, the Exchange Act since May 2012requires, among other things, that we have incurred increased legal, accounting and other expenses. The costs of preparing and filingfile annual, quarterly, and current reports and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reportsrespect to shareholders is time-consuming and costly, and may adversely affect our business and results of operations. As a result of the complexity involved in complying with the rules and regulations applicable to public companies, our management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Although we have already hired additional employees to assist us in complying with these requirements, we may need to hire more employees in the future or engage outside consultants, which will increase our operating expenses.

 

ItIn addition, changing laws, regulations, and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs, and making some activities more time-consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest substantial resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from business operations to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.

-37-

We also expect that being a public company and these new rules and regulations will also be time-consuming, difficult and costlymake it more expensive for us to developobtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee and compensation committee, and qualified executive officers.

Certain U.S. state tax authorities may assert that we have a state nexus and seek to impose state and local income and sales taxes which could harm our results of operations.

There is a risk that certain state tax authorities where we do not currently file a state income tax return or collect sales tax could assert that we are liable for state and local income and sales taxes based upon income, sales, or gross receipts allocable to such states. States are becoming increasingly aggressive in asserting a nexus for state income and sales tax purposes. If a state tax authority successfully asserts that our activities give rise to a nexus, we could be subject to state and local taxation, including penalties and interest attributable to prior periods. Such tax assessments, penalties and interest may adversely impact our results of operations.

Risks Related to our Patient Care Center

In the past we have, and in the future we may actively employ social media and Patient Care Center activities as part of our marketing strategy, which could give rise to regulatory violations, liability, breaches of data security or reputational damage.

Despite our efforts to monitor evolving social media communication guidelines and comply with applicable laws and regulations, there is risk that the use of social media by us, our employees or our customers to communicate about our products or business may cause us to be found in violation of applicable requirements, including requirements of regulatory bodies such as the FDA and the Federal Trade Commission. For example, adverse events, product complaints, off-label usage by physicians, unapproved marketing or other unintended messages could require an active response from us, which may not be completed in a timely manner and could result in regulatory action by a governing body. In addition, our employees may knowingly or inadvertently make use of social media in ways that may not comply with our social media policy or other legal or contractual requirements, which may give rise to liability, lead to the loss of trade secrets or other intellectual property, or result in public exposure of personal information of our employees, clinical trial patients, customers, and others. Furthermore, negative posts or comments about us or our products in social media could seriously damage our reputation, brand image and goodwill.

A material disruption in our information systems, including our website and Patient Care Center, could adversely affect our business or operating results and lead to reduced net sales and reputational damage.

We rely on our information systems to process transactions, summarize our results of operations and manage our business. In particular, our website and our Patient Care Center are important parts of our integrated connected customer strategy, and customers use these systems as information sources on the range of products available to them and as a way to order our products. Therefore, the reliability and capacity of our information systems is critical to our operations and the implementation of our growth initiatives. However, our information systems are subject to damage or interruption from planned upgrades in technology interfaces, power outages, computer and telecommunications failures, computer viruses, cyber-attacks, or other security breaches, and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, acts of war or terrorism, and usage errors by our employees. If our information systems are damaged or cease to function properly, we may have to make a significant investment to fix or replace them, and we may suffer losses of critical data and/or interruptions or delays in our operations. In addition, to keep pace with changing technology, we must continuously implement new information technology systems as well as enhance our existing systems. Moreover, the internal controlssuccessful execution of some of our growth strategies, in particular the expansion of our connected customer and reporting procedures required byonline capabilities, is dependent on the Sarbanes-Oxley Actdesign and implementation of 2002, new systems and technologies, and/or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our management has limitedenhancement of existing systems. Any material disruption in our information systems, delays or no experiencedifficulties in implementing or integrating new systems, or enhancing or expanding current systems, could have an adverse effect on our business (in particular our Patient Care Center and online operations), and our operating a company subjectresults and could lead to the rulesreduced net sales and reporting practices required by the federal securities laws and applicable to a publicly traded company. Our management currently relies in many instances on the professional experience and advice of third parties including our attorneys and accountants. Our current management and staff will need to be trained and we will need to retain additional financial reporting, internal control and other personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate accounting, internal controls and reporting procedures.reputational damage.

 

 12-38- 

 

DueAny significant interruptions in the operations of our Patient Care Center could cause us to lose sales and disrupt our ability to process orders and deliver our solutions in a timely manner.

We rely on our Patient Care Center to sell our products, respond to customer service and technical support requests, and process orders. Any significant interruption in the operation of these facilities, including an interruption caused by our failure to successfully expand or upgrade our systems or to manage these expansions or upgrades, could reduce our ability to receive and process orders and provide products and services, which could result in lost and cancelled sales and damage to our financial condition,brand and reputation.

As we grow, we will need more capacity from our existing Patient Care Center. If our Patient Care Center operators do not convert inquiries into sales at expected rates, our ability to generate revenue could be impaired. Training and retaining qualified Patient Care Center operators is challenging, and if we do not adequately train our Patient Care Center personnel, they may convert inquiries into sales at an acceptable rate.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Our charter documents and Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us and discourage a takeover.

Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, Bylaws, and Delaware law contain certain provisions that may have the effect of deterring or discouraging, among other things, a non-negotiated tender or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, a proxy contest for control of our company, the assumption of control of our company by a holder of a large block of Common Stock, and the removal of the management of our company. Such provisions also may have the effect of deterring or discouraging a transaction which might otherwise be beneficial to stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation also may authorize our board of directors, without stockholder approval, to issue one or more series of preferred stock, which could have voting and conversion rights that adversely affect or dilute the voting power of the holders of Common Stock. Delaware law also imposes conditions on certain business combination transactions with “interested stockholders.” Our Bylaws authorize our Board of Directors to fill vacancies or newly created directorships. A majority of the directors then in office may elect a successor to fill any vacancies or newly created directorships. Such provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Common Stock and impede the ability of the stockholders to replace management.

The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers, and employees under Delaware law and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers, and employees may result in substantial expenditures by us and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers, and employees. We also may have entered into contractual indemnification obligations under employment agreements with our executive officers. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage us from bringing a lawsuit against our directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our stockholders against our directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our company and our stockholders.

We currently do not been ableintend to implementpay dividends on our common stock. As a result, your only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment is if the price of our common stock appreciates.

We currently do not expect to declare or pay dividends on our common stock. In addition, in the future we may enter into agreements that prohibit or restrict our ability to declare or pay dividends on our common stock. As a result, your only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment will be if the market price of our common stock appreciates and maintain an effective systemyou sell your shares at a profit.

You may experience dilution of internal controls,your ownership interest due to the future issuance of additional shares of our common stock.

We are in a capital intensive business and we may not be ablehave sufficient funds to report our financial results accurately. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harmfinance the growth of our business or to support our projected capital expenditures. As a result, we will require additional funds from future equity or debt financings, including sales of preferred shares or convertible debt, to complete the development of new projects and adversely affectpay the general and administrative costs of our business. We may in the future issue our previously authorized and unissued securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of holders of our common stock. We are currently authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Additionally, the Board may subsequently approve increases in authorized common stock. The potential issuance of such additional shares of common or preferred stock or convertible debt may create downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock.

We are required to establish and maintain internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures and to comply withmay also issue additional shares of common stock or other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules promulgated by the SEC. Our management will need to include a report on our internal control over financial reporting and its assessment on whether such internal controls were effective for the prior fiscal year with our annual reports that we file under the Exchange Act with the SEC. Under current federal securities laws, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective.

However, for as long as we remain an “emerging growth company,” or EGC, as defined in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, or JOBS Act, we may, and we intend to, take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not EGCs, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements concerning management’s reports on effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting otherwise required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules promulgated by the SEC. We may, and we intend to, take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an EGC. We will cease to be an EGC at the earliest of (A) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1,000,000,000 (as indexedconvertible into or exercisable for inflation in the manner set forth in the JOBS Act) or more; (B) the last day of the fiscal year in which the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act occurs, which will be 2017; (C) the date on which we have, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt;future public offerings or (D) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Actprivate placements for capital raising purposes or any successor thereto.

If we cease to be an EGC, as of each fiscal year end thereafter, our independent registered public accounting firm will be required to evaluate and report on our internal controls over financial reporting in the event we become an accelerated filer or large accelerated filer. To the extent we find material weaknesses orfor other deficiencies in our internal controls, we may determine that we have ineffective internal controls over financial reporting as of any particular fiscal year end, and we may receive an adverse assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting from our independent registered public accounting firm. Moreover, any material weaknesses or other deficiencies in our internal controls may delay the conclusion of an annual audit or a review of our quarterly financial results.

Our management has limited or no experience operating as a public reporting company under the Exchange Act or establishing the level of internal control over financial reporting required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our management currently relies in many instances on the professional experience and advice of third parties including our attorneys and accountants.

We have material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

We identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. Under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, a deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists when the design or operationbusiness purposes. The future issuance of a control does not allow managementsubstantial number of common shares into the public market, or personnel, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting,perception that such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. We plan to remediateissuance could occur, could adversely affect the material weaknesses identified by us when we have sufficient funds to do so; however, we cannot assure you that there will not be additional material weaknesses and significant deficiencies that we will identify. If we are unable to identify such issues or if we are unable to produce accurate and timely financial statements, our stock price may be adversely affected and we may be unable to maintain compliance with applicable securities laws.

13

We believe that the material weaknesses did not have an effect on the reporting of the Company's financial results. However, we believe that the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's board of directors, results in ineffective oversight of the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.

Risks Related to Our Securities

Our stock price may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance, and you may lose part or all of your investment.

Theprevailing market price of our common shares. A decline in the price of our common shares could make it more difficult to raise funds through future offerings of our common shares or securities convertible into common shares.

If and when a larger trading market for our securities develops, the market price of such securities is still likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations, and you may be unable to resell your securities at or above the price at which you acquired them.

The stock market in general and the market for smaller health service companies in particular have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. The market price for our securities may fluctuate widely in response to variousbe influenced by many factors some of whichthat are beyond our control, including:including, but not limited to:

In addition, the stock markets, including the over-the-counter markets where we are quoted, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These broad market fluctuations may materially affect our stock price, regardless of our operating results. Furthermore, the market for our common stock historically has been limited and we cannot assure you that a larger market will ever be developed or maintained. The price at which investors purchase shares of our common stock may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. Market fluctuations and volatility, as well as general economic, market and political conditions, could reduce our market price. As a result, these factors may make it more difficult or impossible for you to sell our common stock for a positive return on your investment. In the past, shareholders have instituted securities class action litigation following periods of market volatility. If we were involved in securities litigation, we could incur substantial costs and our resources and the attention of management could be diverted from our business.

 14-40- 

 

Shares of our common stock lack a significant trading market, which could make it more difficult for an investor to sell our common stock.

Shares of our common stock are not yet eligible for trading on any national securities exchange. Our common stock currently is quoted in the over-the-counter market on the OTC Markets-OTCQB. This market tends to be highly illiquid. There is no assurance that an active trading market in our common stock will develop, or if such a market develops, that it will be sustained. In addition, there is a greater chance for market volatility for securities quoted in the over-the-counter markets as opposed to securities traded on a national exchange. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of readily available quotations, the absence of consistent administrative supervision of “bid” and “ask” quotations and generally lower trading volume. As a result, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of, our common stock, or to obtain coverage for significant news events concerning us, and our common stock could become substantially less attractive for investment by financial institutions, as consideration in future capital raising transactions or for other purposes.

Future sales of shares of our common stock, or the perception in the public markets that these sales may occur, may depress our stock price.

general global economic and political instability.

 

The market price of our common stock could decline significantly as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock. In addition, if our significant shareholders sell a large number of shares, or if we issue a large number of shares, the market price of our stock could decline. Any issuance of additional common stock by us in the future, or warrants or options to purchase our common stock, if exercised, would result in dilution to our existing shareholders. Such issuances could be made at a price that reflects a discount or a premium to the then-current trading price of our common stock. Moreover,shares might also decline in reaction to events that affect other companies in our industry, even if these events do not directly affect us. Each of these factors, among others, could harm the perceptionvalue of your investment in our securities. In the past, following periods of volatility in the public market, that shareholders might sell sharessecurities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable reports about, our business or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our stock or that we could make a significant issuance of additional common stock in the future could depress the market for our shares. These sales, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common stock or make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.

We have issued shares of common stock and warrants and options to purchase shares of our common stock in connection with our private placement and certain employment, director and consultant agreements. In addition, we issued shares of our common stock, and options and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock, in financing transactions and pursuant to employment agreements that are deemed to be “restricted securities,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. From time to time, certain of our shareholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their restricted shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, subject to certain limitations. The resale pursuant to Rule 144 of shares acquired from us in private transactions could causeadversely, our stock price to decline significantly.and trading volume could decline.

 

We could issue additional common stock, which might dilute the book value of our common stock.

Our Board of Directors has authority, without action or vote of our shareholders, to issue all or a part of our authorized but unissued shares. Our amended certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share. We may issue a substantial number of additional shares of our common stock or debt securities to complete a business combination or to raise capital. Such stock issuances could be made at a price that reflects a discount or a premium from the then-current trading price of our common stock. In addition, in order to raise capital, we may need to issue securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for a significant amount of our common stock. These issuances would dilute your percentage ownership interest, which would have the effect of reducing your influence on matters on which our shareholders vote, and might dilute the book value of our common stock. You may incur additional dilution if holders of stock options and warrants, whether currently outstanding or subsequently granted, exercise their options or warrants to purchase shares of our common stock.

15

We are an EGC, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to EGCs will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an EGC, as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not EGCs. The modified disclosure requirements available to EGCs include reduced disclosure about our executive compensation and omission of a compensation discussion and analysis, which is also available to us as a smaller reporting company, and an exemption from the requirement of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and the requirement that shareholders approve any golden parachute payments not previously approved. In addition, we will not be subject to certain requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, including the additional testing of our internal control over financial reporting as may occur when outside auditors attest as to our internal controls over financial reporting, which is also not required of smaller reporting companies. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although we could lose that status sooner if our revenues exceed $1 billion, if we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three year period, or if the market value of our common stock exceeds $700 million.

We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock, to some extent, will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our market or our competitors. We do not have any control over these analysts.

Exercise of warrants, and issuance of incentive stock grants may have a dilutive effective on our stock, and negatively impact the price may be more volatile.of our Common Stock.

 

Although

As of December 31, 2020 we had 3,550,471 warrants outstanding. Each warrant provides the JOBS Act permits an EGCholder the right to purchase up to one share of our Common Stock at a predetermined exercise price. The outstanding warrants consist of one warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from of $1.40 to $5.75 per share over the next two to ten years.

As of December 31, 2020 we had a total of 4,232,400 stock options outstanding under our various option categories, including (1) service-based options, (2) performance-based options, and (3) options issued under our newly formed 2020 Equity and Incentive Plan. Each option provides the holder the right to purchase up to one share of our Common Stock at a predetermined exercise price. The outstanding options consist of one option to purchase one share of Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from of $0.80 to $9.24 per share over the next ten years.

On January 8, 2021, the shareholders of the Company approved the 2020 Equity and Incentive Plan (“the Plan”). Under the Plan, 1,500,000 shares of common stock were reserved and authorized to be issued. As of March 29, 2021, there are no shares remaining to be issued under the Plan.

To the extent that any of the outstanding warrants and options described above are exercised, dilution, to the interests of our stockholders may occur. For the life of such as us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies, we are choosing to “opt out” of this provision,warrants and as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards as required when they are adopted, however do not currently believe that thisoptions, the holders will have the opportunity to profit from a material effect onrise in the preparation of our financial statements.

Effect of Issuance of Preferred Stock

 

Our common stock may be subjectCertificate of Incorporation, as amended allows us to the “penny stock” rules adopted under Section 15(g)issue Preferred Stock with voting, liquidation, and dividend rights senior to those of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply to issuers whose common stock does not trade on a national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share, or that have a tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC that contains the following information:

a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;

a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to violation to such duties or other requirements of securities laws;

a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including “bid” and “ask” prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the “bid” and “ask” prices;

a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;

definitions of any significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and

such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format), as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

Prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer also must provide the customer with the following information:

bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;

16

compensation of the broker-dealer and our salesperson in the transaction;

number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and

monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.

The penny stock rules further require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

Due to the requirements of the penny stock rules, many broker-dealers have decided not to trade penny stocks. As a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our securities. Moreover, if our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.

Our principal shareholder has the ability to exert significant control in matters requiring a shareholder vote and could delay, deter or prevent a change of control in our company.

As of March 30, 2016, Mark McLaughlin, our President and largest shareholder, beneficially owns 16.0% of our outstanding shares of common stock. In addition, Mr. McLaughlin has from time to time made advances us to support our ongoing capital needs. Mr. McLaughlin exerts significant influence over us, giving him the ability, among other things, to exercise significant control over the election of all or a majority of the Board of Directors and to approve significant corporate transactions. Such share ownership and control may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a future change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company. This, in turn, could have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. It could also prevent our shareholders from realizing a premium over the market price for their shares of common stock. Without the consent of Mr. McLaughlin, we could be prevented from entering into potentially beneficial transactions if such transactions conflict with our principal shareholder’s interests.

We do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future, and, accordingly, any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the Board of Directors may consider relevant. We intend to follow a policy of retaining all of our earnings to finance the development and execution of our strategy and the expansion of our business. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will occur only if our stock price appreciates.

Our common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act and, as a result, we will not be subject to the federal proxy rules and our directors, executive officers and 10% beneficial holders will not be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, our reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act may be suspended automatically if we have fewer than 300 holders of record on the first day of our fiscal year.

Shares of our common stock are not currently registered under the Exchange Act though we may register our common stock under the Exchange Act in the foreseeable future. We will have to register our common stock under the Exchange Act if we have, after the last day of our fiscal year, holders of record of more than either (1) 2,000 or more persons or (2) 500 or more persons who are not accredited investors, in accordance with Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, as amended by the JOBS Act. As a result, currently we are only subject solely to the reporting obligations of Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act so long as we do not subsequently register under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act by filing a Form 8-A or another Exchange Act registration statement. As long as our common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act, we will be required to file only annual, quarterly and current reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and we will not be subject to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, which, among other things, prohibits companies that have securities registered under the Exchange Act from soliciting proxies or consents from shareholders without furnishing to shareholders and filing with the SEC a proxy statement and form of proxy complying with the proxy rules. In addition, so long as our common shares are not registered under the Exchange Act, our directors, executive officers and beneficial holders of 10% or more of our outstanding common stock will not be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires directors, executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of common stock and other equity securities on Forms 3, 4 and 5, respectively. Such information about our directors, executive officers and 10% beneficial holders will only be available through this and any subsequent registration statement or periodic reports we file pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

17

Furthermore, so long as our common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act, our obligation to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act will be automatically suspended if, on the first day of any fiscal year, other than a fiscal year in which a registration statement under the Securities Act has gone effective, we have fewer than 300 holders of record. This suspension is automatic and does not require any filing with the SEC. In such an event, we may cease providing periodic reports and current or periodic information, including operational and financial information. As of March 30, 2016, we had approximately 311 holders of record.

Certain provisions of our corporate governance documents and Delaware law could discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition at a premium price.

Our amended certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may make the acquisition of our company more difficultCommon Stock without the approval of our Boardstockholders. The issuance of Directors. These include provisions that:

provide that our Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or repeal our bylaws;

provide our Board of Directors with the sole power to set the size of our Board of Directors and fill vacancies; and

provide that special meetings of shareholders may be called only by our Board of Directors, Chairman of the Board of Directors, upon written notice of demand by our President or upon written notice of demand by the holders of at least 25% of the shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

These and other provisions of our amended certificate of incorporation and bylaws could delay, defer or prevent us from experiencing a change of control or changes in our Board of Directors and management and may adversely affect our shareholders’ voting and other rights.

In addition, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any of a broad range of business combinations with a shareholder owning 15% or more of such corporation’s outstanding voting stock for a period of three years following the date on which such shareholder became an “interested” shareholder. In order for us to consummate a business combination with an “interested” shareholder within three years of the date on which the shareholder became “interested,” either (1) the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the shareholder becoming “interested” must be approved by our board of directors prior to the date the shareholder became “interested,” (2) the “interested” shareholder must own at least 85% of our outstanding voting stock at the time the transaction commences (excluding voting stock owned by directors who are also officers and certain employee stock plans) or (3) the business combination must be approved by our board of directors and authorized by at least two-thirds of our shareholders (excluding the “interested” shareholder).

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 were approximately $37.3 million, an increase of 199% compared to approximately $12.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in revenues was attributable to both the increase in product revenue of 208% and an increase in software revenue of 165%. Product revenue accounts for 82% of total revenue and has increased in the year ended December 31, 2020 due to an increase in online sales demand, with the majority of the growth of our salestelemedicine brands, RexMD and ShapiroMD. Software revenue accounts for 18% of total revenue and has steadily increased year over year due to a combination of higher demand, increased market awareness, enhanced digital capabilities and continued marketing executives,campaign expansion. While a portion of our growth could be attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic, management strongly believes our growth is primarily a result of the strength of our healthcare brands.

The combined cost of increase sales. We expect thatwas due to increased product costs related to our improved product sale volumes when compared to the prior year’s period ended December 31, 2019.

Gross profit increased by approximately 185% to approximately $28.4 million for the year ended December 31,2020 compared to approximately $9.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, as a significant componentresult of increased combined sales, partially offset by a percentage increases in our selling, general and administration expenses going forward will consistcosts to produce product revenues. Product costs increased to 23% of marketing and advertising expensesassociated product revenues experienced during the year ended December 31, 2020, from 19% of associated product revenues during the year ended December 31, 2019. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 76% for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to increase our sales, equipment leasing80% for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease of 4% in gross profit was principally attributable to higher product costs relating to improving our operating efficiencies, as well as conductingincurred during the year ended December 31, 2020, resulting from the use of new studies which could open new markets. These aforementioned costs, along with the additionalsuppliers, at slightly higher costs, resulting from the impact of COVID-19 related disruptions to our operations as a public reporting company, could adversely impactproduct supply chain, causing increased costs to procure our future results of operations. Additional significant factors that we believe will affectproduction inputs. The new suppliers were also required to supplement our operating results going forward are: (i) protection ofincreased production needs to meet our intellectual property rights; and (ii) imposition of more stringent government regulations of our products.increased product demand.

 

We historically have expended a significant amount of our funds on obtaining and protecting our patents, trade secrets and proprietary products. We rely on the patent and trademark protection laws in the U.S. to protect our intellectual property and maintain our competitive position in the marketplace. For several years, we were involved in complex litigation regarding patents and licenses critical to our products. In 2010, we prevailed on all major legal matters and reached favorable settlements. If additional litigation becomes necessary to protect our intellectual property rights, such litigation may be costly, divert our management’s attention away from our core business and have a negative impact on our operations. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that litigation would result in an outcome favorable to us. In addition, yeast beta glucans are designated as GRAS under current FDA regulations. Future government regulations may prevent or delay the introduction or require the reformulation of our products. Some agencies, such as the FDA, could require us to remove a particular product from the market, delay or prevent the import of raw materials for the manufacture of our products or otherwise disrupt the marketing of our products. Any such government actions could result in additional costs to us, reduced growth prospects, lost sales from products that we are required to remove from the market and potential product liability litigation.Operating Expenses

Liquidity and Capital Resources Outlook

The Company has funded operations in the past through the sales of ourits products, issuance of common stock and through loans and advances from Mark McLaughlin, our President,officers and other directors. In the first quarter of 2014 we received $132,000 from a legal settlement that was used to fund ourThe Company’s continued operations and on September 30, 2014, we borrowed $50,000 pursuant to a short term loan agreement entered into with a private investor for our ongoing working capital needs. This short term loan agreement was paid in full on its maturity on November 14, 2014. In 2015 we entered into another non-dilutive short term loan agreement with an investor for $100,000 and secured additional loans of $30,000 from our President and $75,000 from a greater than 5% shareholder of the Company. These loans have been satisfied in full as of December 31, 2015. In addition, in November 2015, we established a $100,000 line of credit with a commercial lender for our short-term working capital needs. We plan on our operating business (in conjunction with our short term non-dilutive borrowings) to be able to fund operations through 2016. However, in the event we require additional operating capital we will have to depend on sources other than operating revenues to meet our operating and capital needs. No assurance can be given that such sources will be available and no assurance can be given that Mr. McLaughlin or other directors who have in the past willingly funded operations will commit to do so in the future, or that we will be successful in our endeavors to raise additional capital. For additional information regarding these and other risks please see “Risk Factors” on page 6.

Critical Accounting Policies

-48-

 

While our significant accounting policies are described more fully in Note 2 to our financial statements, we believe the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis.

Basis of Presentation and Use of EstimatesRevenue Recognition

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformityCompany records revenue under the adoption of ASC 606 by analyzing exchanges with accounting principles generally accepted inits customers using a five-step analysis:

1.Identify the contract
2.Identify performance obligations
3.Determine the transaction price
4.Allocate the transaction price
5.Recognize revenue

For the U.S., or U.S. GAAP. In preparing financial statements in conformityCompany’s product-based contracts with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptionscustomers, the Company has determined that affectthere is one performance obligation, which is the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the datesdelivery of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates required by management include the valuation of inventory and stockholders’ equity-based transactions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Inventory

Inventoryproduct; this performance obligation is valuedtransferred at the lower of cost or market value with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Management compares the cost of inventory with the net realizable value and an allowance is made for writing down their inventories to market value, if lower.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s policy is to record revenue as earned when a firm commitment, indicating sales quantity and price exists, delivery has taken place and collectability is reasonably assured.discrete point in time. The Company generally records sales of finished products once the customer places and pays for the order, with the product isbeing simultaneously shipped by a third-party fulfillment service provider; in limited cases, title does not pass until the product reaches the customer’s delivery site, in these limited cases, recognition of revenue should be deferred until that time, however the Company does not have a process to properly record the customer. If applicable, provisions for discounts, returns, allowances, customer rebatesrecognition of revenue if orders are not immediately shipped, and other adjustments are netted with gross sales. The Company accounts for such provisions duringdeems the same period in which the related revenues are earned. Customer discounts, returns and rebates have not been significant.

Deliveryimpact to be immaterial. In all cases, delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer. Salescustomer, which is usually commensurate upon shipment of the product. In the case of its product-based contracts, the Company provides a subscription sensitive service based on the recurring shipment of products and records the related revenue under the subscription agreements subsequent to international distributorsreceiving the monthly product order, recording the revenue at the time it fulfills the shipment obligation to the customer.

For its product-based contracts with customers, the Company records an estimate for provisions of discounts, returns, allowances, customer rebates and other adjustments for its product shipments, and are recognizedreflected as contra revenues in arriving at reported net revenues. The Company’s discounts and customer rebates are known at the time of sale, correspondingly, the Company reduces gross product sales for such discounts and customer rebates. The Company estimates customer returns and allowances based on information derived from historical transaction detail, and accounts for such provisions, as contra revenue, during the same manner. If title doesperiod in which the related revenues are earned. The Company has determined that the population of its product-based contracts with customers are homogenous, supporting the ability to record estimates for returns and allowances to be applied to the entire product-based portfolio population.

The Company, through its majority-owned subsidiary LegalSimpli, offers a subscription based service providing a suite of software applications to its subscribers, principally on a monthly subscription basis. The software suite allows the subscriber/user to convert almost any type of document to another electronic form of editable document, providing ease of editing. For these subscription-based contracts with customers, the Company offers an initial 14-day trial period which is billed at $1.95, followed by a monthly subscription, or a yearly subscription to the Company’s software suite dependent on the subscriber’s enrollment selection. The Company has estimated that there is one product and one performance obligation that is delivered over time, as the Company allows the subscriber to access the suite of services for the time period of the subscription purchased. The Company allows the customer to cancel at any point during the billing cycle, in which case the customers subscription will not pass untilbe renewed for the product reachesfollowing month or year depending on the customer’s delivery site, then recognitionoriginal subscription. The Company records the revenue over the customers subscription period for monthly and yearly subscribers or at the end of revenuethe initial 14 day service period for customers who purchased the initial subscription, as the circumstances dictate. The Company offers a discount for the monthly or yearly subscriptions being purchased, which is deferred until that time.

Income Taxes

The Company records current and deferred taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This ASC requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between tax basis of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the consolidated financial statements, based upon the enacted rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company establishes a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company periodically assesses the value of its deferred tax asset, a majority of which has been generated by a history of net operating losses and management determines the necessity for a valuation allowance. ASC 740 also provides a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Using this guidance, a company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position in its financial statements only if it is more likely-than-not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50%) that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company’s tax returns for all years since December 31, 2016, remain open to audit by all related taxing authorities.

Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718, “Share-Based Payment”. Under this guidance compensation cost generally is recognized at fair value on the date of the grant and amortized over the respective vesting periods.or service period. The fair value of options at the date of grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected option life is derived from assumed exercise rates based upon historical exercise patterns and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of ourthe Company’s common stock shares using weekly price observations over an observation period that approximates the expected life of the options. The risk-free rate approximates the U.S. Treasury yield curve rate in effect at the time of grant for periods similar to the expected option life. The estimated forfeiture rate included inDue to limited history of forfeitures, the option valuation was zero.Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur.

Many of the assumptions require significant judgment and any changes could have a material impact in the determination of stock-based compensation expense.

 

Noncontrolling Interests

The Company accounts for its less than 100% interest in Innate Scientific in accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, and accordingly the Company presents noncontrolling interests as a component of equity on its consolidated balance sheet and reports the noncontrolling interest net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statement of operations.

Equity-linked instruments, such as warrants, and convertible instruments may contain down round features that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Under ASU 2014-092017-11, a down round feature will no longer require a freestanding equity-linked instrument (or embedded conversion option) to be classified as a liability that is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a companyremeasured at fair value through the income statement (i.e. marked-to-market). However, other features of the equity-linked instrument (or embedded conversion option) must still be evaluated to determine whether liability or equity classification is appropriate. Equity classified instruments are not marked-to-market. For earnings per share (“EPS”) reporting, the ASU requires companies to recognize revenuethe effect of the down round feature only when it is triggered by treating it as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receivecommon shareholders in exchange for those goods or services.

This standard was adopted on January 1, 2020 and early adoption isdid not permitted. The Company will adopt ASU 2014-09 during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Management is evaluating the provisions of this statement and has not determined what impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern". This ASU is intended to define management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. It is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

All other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Application of New or Revised Accounting Standards—Not Yet Adopted

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40); Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”)”, which addresses issues identified as a result of the complexities associated with applying U.S. GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity.

FASB specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year, or January 1, 2021, should the Company elect to early adopt. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2020-06 could have on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation,maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the supervisionSecurities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”), who is also our Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”),chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and effectivenessoperation of our “disclosuredisclosure controls and procedures” (as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on thisupon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our PEO/PFOchief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The conclusion that, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of the following material weaknesses in disclosure controls and procedures which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment as the Company had only one officer; (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting andinternal control over financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC Guidelines; and (iii) inadequate security and restricted access to computer systems including insufficient disaster recovery plans; and (iv) no written whistleblower policy. Once sufficient funds are available, our PEO/PFO plans to implement appropriate disclosure controls and procedures to remediate these material weaknesses, including (i) appointing additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting and a whistle blower policy; and (iii) implement sufficient security and restricted access measures regarding our computer systems and implement a disaster recovery plan.described below.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control overOver Financial Reporting

 

Our PEO/PFOManagement of our Company and its consolidated subsidiaries is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting as defined under Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f)is a process designed under the Securities Exchange Actsupervision of 1934. Asits chief executive and chief financial officers and effected by the Company’s Board of December 31, 2015 our PEO/PFODirectors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of its consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on the criteria for effective internal control set forthframework established in the 1992 report entitled “Internal Control — Internal Control—Integrated Framework” publishedFramework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has determined that evaluation, our PEO/PFO concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of ourCompany’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

A material weakness, as defined in the standards established by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that adversely affectedthere is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our internal controls.annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

The matters involving internal controls and procedures thatineffectiveness of the Company’s PEO/PFO consideredinternal control over financial reporting was due to bethe following material weaknesses underwhich are indicative of many small companies with small number of staff:

(i)inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives;
(ii)insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respects to the requirements and application of both U.S. GAAP and SEC Guidelines;
(iii)inadequate security and restricted access to computer systems including a disaster recovery plan;
(iv)lack of formal written policy for the approval, identification and authorization of related party transactions; and
(v)no written whistleblower policy.

-52-

Management’s Plan to Remediate the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (4) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by the Company's PEO/PFO in connection with his review of our financial statements as of December 31, 2015.Material Weakness

 

Our PEO/PFO believesManagement has been implementing and continues to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weaknesses set forth above did not have an effect on the Company's financial results. However, our PEO/PFO believesare remediated, such that the lack of a functioning audit committeethese controls are designed, implemented, and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's board of directors, results in ineffective oversight of the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.operating effectively. The remediation actions planned include:

(i)continue to search for and evaluate qualified independent outside directors;
(ii)the recent addition of functioning audit committee;
(iii)re-design of our accounting processes and control procedures;
(iv)identify gaps in our skills base and the expertise of our staff required to meet the financial reporting requirements of a publicly-traded company;
(v)review and improve current accounting policies and procedures and develop a thorough document detailing said policies and procedures with respects to the requirements and application of both U.S. GAAP and SEC Guidelines;
(vi)identify and remedy gaps in our security and restricted access policies to computer systems and implement a disaster recovery plan; and
(vii)develop a written whistleblower policy.

 

We are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and believe that these remediation efforts will represent significant improvements in our control environment. Our management will continue to monitor and evaluate the relevance of our risk-based approach and the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and areis committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

 

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2015 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

During the past ten years, none of our current directors or executive officers has been:

the subject of any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

convicted in a criminal proceeding or is subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

None of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any beneficial owner of 5% or more of our common stock, or any associate of such persons, is an adverse party in any material proceeding to, or has a material interest adverse to, us or any of our subsidiaries.

Corporate Governance

We currently have no standing audit, compensation or nominating committees or committees performing similar functions, nor do we have written audit, compensation or nominating committee charters. Our Board of Directors believes it unnecessary to have such committees at this time because our Board of Directors can perform the functions of such committees adequately.

We do not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The Board of Directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. We currently do not have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the Board of Directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The Board of Directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment. A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our Board of Directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our director at the address on the cover of this report.

Code of Ethics

We have not yet adopted a code of ethics within the definition of Item 406 of Regulation S-K. Currently, we have a single named executive officer, 4 employees, as well as a few part-time employees and numerous additional consultants. As our business continues to grow, and we become more experienced as a fully-reporting public company, our Board of Directors plans to implement a code of ethics.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

We are currently not subject to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act as we do not have a class of equity securities registered pursuant to section 12 of the Exchange Act.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Stock Based Compensation – Initial Measurement of Fair Value

Description of the Matter

As described in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company measures stock-based awards at fair value and recognizes compensation expense related to such awards over the respective vesting or service period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the awards. Certain inputs in the model used for determination of fair value of the awards of the Company, such as the expected term, volatility, and fair value of stock, require management to make significant judgments.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

We assessed the appropriateness of judgments made by management in determining key assumptions related to the awards, such as service inception date based on the multi-year performance conditions and volatility. We tested the accuracy of the data used in measuring the awards by agreeing the underlying inputs, such as grant date, grant price, performance targets and vesting terms, among others to award letters. We determined whether performance targets were satisfied in accordance with the contractual conditions, and recalculated grant date fair value by multiplying that earned quantity of awards by the grant price

Going Concern – Assessing the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

Description of the Matter

As described in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company has adequate cash on hand, which will provide sufficient liquidity to finance the operating activities of the Company for twelve months from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. We determined that the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is a critical audit matter due to significant management’s judgments and assumptions used in estimating future cash flows.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

We reviewed forecasted information, assessed reasonableness of the forecasted operating results and uses and sources of cash used in management’s assessment. This testing included inquiries with management, comparison of prior period forecasts to actual results, assessment of available financing, consideration of positive and negative evidence impacting management’s forecasts, market and industry factors.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2015NOTE 1 – NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

1.Business Organization and Going Concern

Corporate History

 

LifeMD, Inc. was formed in the State of Delaware on May 24, 1994, under its prior name, Immudyne, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation establishedThe Company changed its name to develop, manufactureConversion Labs, Inc. on June 22, 2018 and sell natural immune support products containingthen subsequently, on February 22, 2021, it changed its name to LifeMD, Inc. Effective February 22, 2021, the trading symbol for the Company’s proprietary yeast beta glucans,common stock, par value $0.01 per share on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC changed from “CVLB” to “LFMD”.

On April 1, 2016, the original operating agreement of Immudyne PR LLC (“Immudyne PR”), a groupjoint venture to market the Company’s skincare products, was amended and restated and the Company increased its ownership and voting interest in Immudyne PR to 78.2%. Concurrent with the name change of beta glucans naturally occurringthe parent company to Conversion Labs, Inc., Immudyne PR was renamed to Conversion Labs PR LLC (now known as “Conversion Labs PR”). On April 25, 2019, the operating agreement of Conversion Labs PR was amended and restated in its entirety to increase the cell walls of yeast that have been shown through testingCompany’s ownership and analysisvoting interest in Conversion Labs PR to support the immune system. The Company’s products include once a day oral intake tablets and topical creams and gels for skin application. The Company concentrates its sales and marketing efforts on healthcare professionals, distributors for its all-natural raw material ingredient products and direct-to-consumer sales.100%.

 

In 2015,June 2018, the Company formedclosed the strategic acquisition of 51% of LegalSimpli Software, LLC (“LegalSimpli”), a software as a service (SaaS) application for converting, editing, signing and sharing PDF documents. In addition to LegalSimpli Software’s growth business model, this acquisition added deep search engine optimization and search engine marketing expertise to the Company. Effective January 22, 2021, the Company consummated a transaction to restructure the ownership of LegalSimpli (the “LSS Restructuring”) (See Note 10).

Nature of Business

LifeMD is a direct-to-patient telehealth company that provides a smarter, cost-effective and convenient way of accessing healthcare. The Company believes that the traditional model of visiting a doctor’s office, receiving a physical prescription, visiting a local pharmacy, and returning to see a doctor for follow up care or prescription refills is inefficient, costly to patients, and discourages many patients from seeking much needed medical care. The U.S. healthcare system is undergoing a paradigm shift, thanks to new technologies and the emergence of direct-to-patient healthcare. Direct-to-patient telemedicine companies, like the Company, connect consumers to licensed healthcare professionals for care across numerous indications, including concierge care, men’s sexual health and dermatology, among others.

The Company’s telemedicine platform helps patients access licensed providers for diagnoses, virtual care, and prescription medications, often delivered on a recurring basis. In addition to its telemedicine offerings, it sells nutritional supplements and other over-the-counter products. Many of its products are available on a subscription or membership basis, where a patient can subscribe to receive regular shipments of prescribed medications or products. This creates convenience and often discounted pricing opportunities for patients and recurring revenue streams for it.

The Company believes that brand innovation, customer acquisition and service excellence form the heart of its business. As is exemplified with its first brand, Shapiro MD, it has built a full line of proprietary OTC products for male and female hair loss, FDA approved OTC minoxidil, an FDA-cleared medical device, and now a personalized telemedicine offering that gives consumers access to virtual medical treatment and, when appropriate, a full line of oral and topical prescription medications for hair loss. The Company’s men’s telemedicine brand, Rex MD, currently offers treatment for erectile dysfunction, and will soon offer treatments for additional indications present in men’s health. The Company has built a platform that allows it to efficiently launch telehealth and wellness product lines wherever it determines there is a market need.

Business and Subsidiary History

In June 2018, Conversion Labs closed the strategic acquisition of 51% of LegalSimpli Software, LLC (“LegalSimpli”), a software as a service (SaaS) application for converting, editing, signing and sharing PDF documents. In addition to LegalSimpli’s growth business model, this acquisition added deep search engine optimization and search engine marketing expertise to the Company.

In early 2019, the Company had launched a service-based business under the name Conversion Labs Media LLC, which was to be used to run e-commerce marketing campaigns for other online businesses. However, this business initiative was terminated in early 2019 in order to focus on its core business as well as the expansion of our telehealth opportunities.

In June 2019, a strategic joint venture domiciledwith GoGoMeds.com (GoGoMeds) was formed in order to help facilitate the launch of our telemedicine business. GoGoMeds is a nationwide pharmacy licensed to dispense prescription medications directly to consumers in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. However, on August 7, 2020, the Company terminated its Strategic Partnership Agreement with GoGoMeds. The joint venture with GoGoMeds had not initiated activities, and its termination did not have an impact on the Company’s operations.

Conversion Labs Rx, LLC (“CVLB Rx”), a Puerto Rico Innate Skincare, LLC d/b/a Innate Scientific, LLC (“Innate”).  Underlimited liability company, had no activity during the year ended December 31, 2020 and was dissolved during the period.

Innateoutstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Split” or “Split”). The Reverse Split was formed to launch a complete skin care regime formulated using strategic ingredients providedapproved by the Company. Innate Scientific is also currently pursuing other opportunities.Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and became effective in the market on October 14, 2020 (the “Effective Date”). All references to common shares and common share data in these financial statements and elsewhere in this Form 10-K as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and for the years then ended, reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

Liquidity

 

The Company has funded operations in the past through the sales of its products, issuance of common stock and through loans and advances from officers and directors. The Company’s continued operations are dependent upon obtaining an increase in its sales volumesale volumes and the continued financial support from officers and directors, obtaining funding from third-party sources or the issuance of additional shares of common stock. See Note 5 for a further discussion of the private placement offering, which closed in November 2020, yielding approximately $14.9 million in net proceeds to the Company after deduction of placement fees and other offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds to expedite growth initiatives, as well as for general corporate purposes.

On February 11, 2021, the Company consummated the closing of a private placement offering (the “February 2021 Offering”), whereby pursuant to the securities purchase agreement (the “February 2021 Purchase Agreement”) entered into by the Company and certain accredited investors on February 11, 2021 the Investors purchased 608,696 shares of the Company’s common stock par value $0.01 per share at a purchase price of $23.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately 14.0 million (the “Purchase Price”).

 

The Purchase Price was funded on the closing date and resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $13.4 million after deducting fees payable to the placement agent and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

Going Concern Evaluation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. AtThe Company prepared its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015,2019 assuming the Company would continue as a going concern, with an explanatory note that the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has an accumulated deficit approximating $8.5$80.2 million and has incurred negativeexperienced significant losses from its operations. Although the Company is showing significant positive revenue trends, the Company expects to incur further losses through the end of 2021. Additionally, the Company expects its burn rate of cash flows. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustmentsthrough the first quarter of 2021; however, the Company expects this burn rate to improve in future quarters. To date, the Company has been funding operations primarily through the sale of equity in private placements. Management is unable to predict if and when we will be able to generate significant positive cash flow or achieve profitability. There can be no assurances that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.we will be successful in increasing revenues, improving operational efficiencies or that financing will be available or, if available, that such financing will be available under favorable terms.

 

The Company has a current cash balance of approximately $12 million as of the filing date, which includes the $13.4 million of net proceeds from the February 2021 Offering noted above.Based on the Company's cash balance at December 31, 2015, andCompany’s projected cash needsrequirements, management estimates that it will utilize approximately $10 million through the next 12 months from the filing date of this report. The Company reviewed its forecasted operating results and uses and sources of cash used in 2016, management may raise additional funds through increased sales volume, issuing additional sharesmanagement’s assessment, which included the available financing, consideration of common stock or otherpositive and negative evidence impacting management’s forecasts, market and industry factors. Positive indicators that lead to its conclusion that it will have sufficient cash over the next 12 months following the date of this report include (1) its continued strengthening of our revenues and improvement of operational efficiencies across the business, (2) the expected improvement in its cash burn rate in the first quarter of 2021 and over the next 12 months, (3) overall investor interest in its equity securities or obtaining debt financing. Although management has been successfulwhich it believes will enable it to datesuccessfully complete future capital raises and (4) the overall market value of the telemedicine industry and how it believes that will continue to drive interest in raising necessary funding, there can be no assurance that sales revenue will substantially increase or that any required future financing can be successfully completed on a timely basis, or on terms acceptable to the Company.

Immudyne, Inc.NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2015Principles of Consolidation

 

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Use of EstimatesThe Company evaluates the need to consolidate affiliates based on standards set forth in ASC 810 Consolidation (“ASC 810”).

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlledwholly owned subsidiary, Innate.CLPR and its majority owned subsidiary, LegalSimpli. The non- controllingnon-controlling interest in InnateLegalSimpli represents the 66.67%49 % equity interest held by other members of the joint venture. subsidiary as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Subsequent to year end, the Company purchased an additional 36% of LegalSimpli for a total 85%.

All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.eliminated in consolidation.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company follows ASC 810-10-15 guidance with respect to accounting for variable interest entities (each, a “VIE”). These entities do not have sufficient equity at risk to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or whose equity investors lack any of the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A variable interest is an investment or other interest that will absorb portions of a VIE’s expected losses or receive portions of its expected residual returns and are contractual, ownership, or pecuniary in nature and that change with changes in the fair value of the entity’s net assets. A reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE and must consolidate it when that party has a variable interest, or combination of variable interests, that provides it with a controlling financial interest. A party is deemed to have a controlling financial interest if it meets both of the power and losses/benefits criteria. The power criterion is the ability to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance. The losses/benefits criterion is the obligation to absorb losses from, or right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The VIE model requires an ongoing reconsideration of whether a reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE due to changes in facts and circumstances.

In accordance with ASC 810-10-25-37 and as amended by ASU 2009-17, the Company determines whether any legal entity in which the Company becomes involved is a VIE and subject to consolidation. The Company conducts an assessment on an ongoing basis for each VIE including (1) the power to direct activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. As a result, the Company determined that three (3) entities were VIEs and subject to consolidation.

1.Conversion Labs Media, LLC (“CVLB Media”), a Puerto Rico limited liability company,
2.Conversion Labs Rx, LLC (“CVLB Rx”), a Puerto Rico limited liability company (dissolved in 2020), and
3.Conversion Labs Asia Limited, a Hong Kong company (“Conversion Labs Asia”).

CVLB Media, CVLB Rx and Conversion Labs Asia are all considered immaterial as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. CVLB Rx had no activity during the year ended December 31, 2020 and was dissolved during the period.

Use of Estimates

 

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Some of the more significant estimates required to be made by management include the determination of reserves for accounts receivable, returns and allowances, the valuation of inventory and stockholders’ equity basedequity-based transactions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

The continuing impact on business activity brought about by the Coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”) continues to evolve, globally in macro terms, and in micro terms, as such affects the Company. As a result, many of our estimates and assumptions for the year ended December 31, 2020 were subject to an increased level of judgment and may carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. In future periods, subsequent to December 31, 2020, when additional information becomes available, which may differ from our current assumptions, may subject our estimates to material change in future periods.

ReclassificationReclassifications

 

Certain amountsreclassifications have been made to conform the prior year’s data to the current presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported operating loss, stockholders’ deficit or cash flows. Given the increase in the Company’s software business and to conform the Company’s presentation of operating results to industry standards, the Company has changed their categories for reporting operations, as result the Company has made reclassifications to the prior year have been reclassifiedpresentation in order to conform it to the current periods’ presentation. The reclassification includes $745,288 of merchant processing fees reclassified from cost of revenues to selling and marketing expenses for the year presentation.ended December 31, 2019.

 

InventoryRevenue Recognition

 

The Company records revenue under the adoption of ASC 606 by analyzing exchanges with its customers using a five-step analysis:

At

1.Identify the contract
2.Identify performance obligations
3.Determine the transaction price
4.Allocate the transaction price
5.Recognize revenue

For the Company’s product-based contracts with customers, the Company has determined that there is one performance obligation, which is the delivery of the product; this performance obligation is transferred at a discrete point in time. The Company generally records sales of finished products once the customer places and pays for the order, with the product being simultaneously shipped by a third-party fulfillment service provider; in limited cases, title does not pass until the product reaches the customer’s delivery site, in these limited cases, recognition of revenue should be deferred until that time, however the Company does not have a process to properly record the recognition of revenue if orders are not immediately shipped, and deems the impact to be immaterial. In all cases, delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer, which is usually commensurate upon shipment of the product. In the case of its product-based contracts, the Company provides a subscription sensitive service based on the recurring shipment of products and records the related revenue under the subscription agreements subsequent to receiving the monthly product order, recording the revenue at the time it fulfills the shipment obligation to the customer.

For its product-based contracts with customers, the Company records an estimate for provisions of discounts, returns, allowances, customer rebates and other adjustments for its product shipments, and are reflected as contra revenues in arriving at reported net revenues. The Company’s discounts and customer rebates are known at the time of sale, correspondingly, the Company reduces gross product sales for such discounts and customer rebates. The Company estimates customer returns and allowances based on information derived from historical transaction detail, and accounts for such provisions, as contra revenue, during the same period in which the related revenues are earned. The Company has determined that the population of its product-based contracts with customers are homogenous, supporting the ability to record estimates for returns and allowances to be applied to the entire product-based portfolio population. Customer discounts, returns and rebates on product revenues approximated $3,321,000 and $1,292,000, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 20152020 and 2014,2019.

The Company, through its majority-owned subsidiary LegalSimpli, offers a subscription based service providing a suite of software applications to its subscribers, principally on a monthly subscription basis. The software suite allows the subscriber/user to convert almost any type of document to another electronic form of editable document, providing ease of editing. For these subscription-based contracts with customers, the Company offers an initial 14-day trial period which is billed at $1.95, followed by a monthly subscription, or a yearly subscription to the Company’s software suite dependent on the subscriber’s enrollment selection. The Company has estimated that there is one product and one performance obligation that is delivered over time, as the Company allows the subscriber to access the suite of services for the time period of the subscription purchased. The Company allows the customer to cancel at any point during the billing cycle, in which case the customers subscription will not be renewed for the following month or year depending on the original subscription. The Company records the revenue over the customers subscription period for monthly and yearly subscribers or at the end of the initial 14 day service period for customers who purchased the initial subscription, as the circumstances dictate. The Company offers a discount for the monthly or yearly subscriptions being purchased, which is deducted at the time of payment at the initiation of the contract term, therefore the Contract price is fixed and determinable at the contract initiation. Monthly and annual subscriptions for the service are recorded net of the Company’s known discount rates. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has accrued contract liabilities, as deferred revenue, of approximately $917,000 and $110,000, respectively, which represent obligations on in-process monthly or yearly contracts with customers and a portion attributable to the yet to be recognized initial 14-day trial period collections. Customer discounts and allowances on software revenues approximated $1,062,000 and $242,000, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

For the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had the following disaggregated revenue:

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable principally consist of amounts due from third-party merchant processors, who process our subscription revenues; the merchant accounts balance receivable represents the charges processed by the merchants that have not yet been deposited with the Company. The unsettled merchant receivable amount normally represents processed sale transactions from the final one to three days of the month, with collections being made by the Company within the first week of the following month. As of year end there is also a fully reserved accounts receivable for one wholesale agent relationship transaction. There will be no further wholesale agent sales in the future. Management determines the need, if any, for an allowance for future credits to be granted to customers, by regularly evaluating aggregate customer refund activity, coupled with the consideration and current economic conditions in its evaluation of an allowance for future refunds and chargebacks. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had an allowance for bad debt, attributable to the single agent relationship amounting to approximately $133,000 and $0, respectively. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the reserve for sales returns and allowances was approximately $349,000 and $84,000, respectively. For all periods presented, as noted above, the sales returns and allowances were recorded as contra assets in arriving at presented accounts receivable, net.

Inventory

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, inventory primarily consisted primarily of cosmetic and nutraceutical additives, and finished cosmetic products.goods related to the Company’s brands included in the product revenue section of the table above. Inventory is maintained inat the Company’s leased Kentuckythird-party warehouse location in Wyoming and at the Amazon fulfillment center. The Company also maintains inventory at a third partyrelated-party warehouse in Nevada.Pennsylvania.

 

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or marketnet realizable value with cost determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. Management compares the cost of inventory with the net realizable value and an allowance is made for writing down inventory to market value,net realizable, if lower. AtAs of December 31, 20152020 and December 31, 2019, the Company recorded an inventory reserve in the amount of $20,000 ($40,000 at$57,481 and $12,500, respectively. The increase in our inventory reserve mainly is attributable to the lack of marketability for our INR Wellness product line.

Furnishings and EquipmentProduct Deposit

 

FurnishingsMany of our vendors require deposits when a purchase order is placed for goods or fulfillment services. These deposits typically range from 10% to 33% of the total purchased amount. Our vendors include a credit memo within their final invoice, recognizing the deposit amount previously paid. As of December 31, 2020, and equipmentDecember 31, 2019, the Company has approximately $816,765 and $150,000, respectively, of product deposits with multiple vendors for the purchase of raw materials or finished goods. The Company’s history of product deposits with its inventory vendors, creates an implicit purchase commitment equaling the total expected product acceptance cost in excess of the product deposit. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company approximates its implicit purchase commitments to be $1.6 million and $300,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the vast majority of these product deposits are stated at cost. Depreciation is providedwith one vendor that manufacturers the Company’s finished goods inventory for its Shapiro hair care product line.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are comprised of a customer relationship asset (with original cost of approximately $1,007,000) and a purchased license (with a cost of $200,000) with an estimated useful life of three and ten years, respectively. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated lives using the straight-line method. Costs incurred to renew or extend the term of recognized intangible assets are capitalized and amortized over the useful life of the asset.

 

Revenue RecognitionImpairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company’s policy is to record revenue as earned when a firm commitment, indicating sales quantityLong-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that an asset may not be recoverable and price exists, delivery has taken place and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company generally records sales of nutraceutical and cosmetic additives once the product is shippedare grouped with other assets to the customer,lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and for salesliabilities (asset group). If the sum of finished cosmetic products once the customer acceptsprojected undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest charges) of an asset group is less than its carrying value and the product. If applicable, provisions for discounts, returns, allowances, customer rebates and other adjustments are netted with gross sales. The Company accounts for such provisions duringfair value of an asset group is also less than its carrying value, the sameassets will be written down by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group exceeded its fair value. However, the carrying amount of a finite-lived intangible asset can never be written down below its fair value. Any loss would be recognized in income from continuing operations in the period in which the related revenues are earned. Customer discounts, returns and rebates approximated $35,000 in 2015.determination is made.

 

Delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer. If title does not pass until the product reaches the customer’s delivery site or the customer accepts the product, then recognition of revenue is deferred until that time. There are no formal sales incentives offered to any of the Company’s customers. Volume discounts may be offered from time to time to customers purchasing large quantities on a per transaction basis.Paycheck Protection Program

Revenue forDuring the year ended December 31, 2015 consists2020, the Company received aggregate loan proceeds in the amount of nutraceuticalapproximately $249,000 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and cosmetic additives ($1,079,289)Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loans and finished cosmetic products ($139,573). Revenueaccrued interest are forgivable after eight weeks as long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries during the eight-week period.

The unforgiven portion of the PPP loan is payable over two years at an interest rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments for the year ended December 31, 2014 consistsfirst six months. The Company intends to use the proceeds for purposes consistent with the PPP. While the Company currently believes that its use of nutraceutical and cosmetic additives.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate madethe loan proceeds will meet the conditions for holdbacks and doubtful receivables based on a reviewforgiveness of all outstanding amounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions and sets up an allowance for doubtful accounts when collection is uncertain. Customers’ accounts are written off when all attempts to collect have been exhausted. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. At December 31, 2015loan, we cannot assure you that we will not take actions that could cause the accounts receivable reserve was approximately $18,000.

Segments

The guidance for disclosures about segments of an enterprise requires that a public business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its operating segments. Generally, financial information is requiredCompany to be reported on the basis used internallyineligible for evaluating segment performance and resource allocation. The Company manages its operations in two reportable segments for purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. Revenue is generated predominately in the United States, and all significant assets are held in the United States, or United States territories.

Conversion Labs PR and LegalSimpli file tax returns while Innate, which was formed as ain Puerto Rico, both are limited liability corporation, files acompanies and file separate tax returnreturns with any tax liabilities or benefits passing through to its members.

 

The Company records current and deferred taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)(“ASC”) 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This ASC requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between tax basis of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements, based upon the enacted rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company establishes a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company periodically assesses the value of its deferred tax asset, a majority of which has been generated by a history of net operating losses and management determines the necessity for a valuation allowance.

ASC 740 also provides a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Using this guidance, a company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position in its financial statements only if it is more likely-than-not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50%) that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.

The Company’s tax returns for all years since December 31, 2012,2017, remain open to audit by all related taxing authorities.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718, “Share-Based Payment”. Under this guidance compensation cost generally is recognized at fair value on the date of the grant and amortized over the respective vesting periods.or service period. The fair value of options at the date of grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected option life is derived from assumed exercise rates based upon historical exercise patterns and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of the Company’s common shares using weekly price observations over an observation period that approximates the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate approximates the U.S. Treasury yield curve rate in effect at the time of grant for periods similar to the expected option life. The estimated forfeiture rate included inDue to limited history of forfeitures, the option valuation was zero.Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur.

 

Many of the assumptions require significant judgment and any changes could have a material impact in the determination of stock-based compensation expense.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period presented. WarrantsConvertible securities, warrants and options to purchase common stock are included as common stock equivalents only when dilutive. Potential common stock equivalents are excluded from dilutive earnings per share when the effects would be antidilutive.

 

CommonThe Company follows the provisions of ASC 260, “Diluted Earnings per Share”. In computing diluted EPS, basic EPS is adjusted for the assumed issuance of all potentially dilutive securities. The dilutive effect of call options, warrants and share-based payment awards is calculated using the “treasury stock equivalents comprisingmethod,” which assumes that the “proceeds” from the exercise of these instruments are used to purchase common shares underlying 12,775,273at the average market price for the period. The dilutive effect of traditional convertible debt and 14,107,720 optionspreferred stock is calculated using the “if-converted method.” Under the if-converted method, securities are assumed to be converted at the beginning of the period, and warrants at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, have not beenthe resulting common shares are included in the lossdenominator of the diluted EPS calculation for the entire period being presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, a pronouncement was issued that creates new accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires organizations that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases, regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The guidance also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted. The new standard is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued accounting guidance, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." The core principle of the new standard is for companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration (that is, payment) to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also will result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively (for example, service revenue and contract modifications) and clarify guidance for multiple-element arrangements. The standard will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017. Accordingly, the Company will adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” ASU 2015-11 applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost.  An entity should measure inventory within the scope of ASU 2015-11 at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation.  ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern". This ASU is intended to define management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. It is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

All other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC Topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had no investments recorded at fair market value.

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, trade accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses and the face amount of notes payable approximate fair value for all periods presented.

 

Noncontrolling Interests

The Company accounts for its less than 100% interest in Innate in accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, and accordingly the Company presents noncontrolling interests as a componentConcentrations of equity on its consolidated balance sheet and reports the noncontrolling interest share of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statement of operations.

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company grants credit in the normal course of business to its customers. The Company periodically performs credit analysis and monitors the financial condition of its customers to reduce credit risk.

 

The Company monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests. The Company, at times, maintains balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits.

 

We are dependent on certain third-party manufacturers, although we believe that other contract manufacturers could be quickly secured if any of our current manufacturers cease to perform adequately. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, we utilized two (2) suppliers for fulfillment services, two (2) suppliers for manufacturing finished goods, one (1) supplier for packaging and bottles and one (1) supplier for labeling. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we purchased 100% of our finished goods from two (2) manufacturers.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)- Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features” (“ASU 2017-11”). Equity-linked instruments, such as warrants and convertible instruments, may contain down round features that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Under ASU 2017-11, a down round feature will no longer require a freestanding equity-linked instrument (or embedded conversion option) to be classified as a liability that is remeasured at fair value through the income statement (i.e. marked-to-market). However, other features of the equity-linked instrument (or embedded conversion option) must still be evaluated to determine whether liability or equity classification is appropriate. Equity classified instruments are not marked-to-market. For earnings per share (“EPS”) reporting, the ASU requires companies to recognize the effect of the down round feature only when it is triggered by treating it as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. This standard was adopted on January 1, 2020 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Application of New or Revised Accounting Standards—Not Yet Adopted

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40); Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”)”, which addresses issues identified as a result of the complexities associated with applying U.S. GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This update addresses, among other things, the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, targeted improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings-per-share (“EPS”) guidance and amendments to the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity, as well as the related EPS guidance. This update applies to all entities that issue convertible instruments and/or contracts in an entity’s own equity. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. FASB specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year, or January 1, 2021, should the Company elect to early adopt. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2020-06 could have on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

During 2016, Conversion Labs PR entered into a sole and exclusive license, royalty and advisory agreement with Pilaris Laboratories, LLC (“Pilaris”) relating to Pilaris’ PilarisMax shampoo formulation and conditioner. The term of the agreement will be the life of the US Patent held by Pilaris, ten years. As consideration for granting Conversion Labs PR this license, Pilaris will receive on quarterly basis, 10% of the net income collected by the licensed products based on the following formula: Net Income = total income – cost of goods sold – advertising and operating expenses directly related to the marketing of the licensed products. In addition, Conversion Labs PR shall pay Pilaris a performance fee of $50,000 on the 180-day anniversary of the agreement and an additional $50,000 performance fee on the 365-day anniversary of the agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company capitalized the license fee in the amount of $100,000, as the purchase of the fee is deemed an asset purchase under ASC 805. In April 2017, the Company issued 43,478 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 21,739 shares of common stock, pursuant to a subscription agreement, for the stated consideration and satisfaction of obligation to pay $50,000 on the 180-day anniversary of the execution of this agreement. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, $0 and $0, respectively was included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in regard to this agreement, as no sales occurred.

During 2018, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “Alphabet Agreement”) with M.ALPHABET, LLC (“Alphabet”), pursuant to which Alphabet agreed to license its PURPUREX business which consists of methods and compositions developed by Alphabet for the treatment of purpura, bruising, post-procedural bruising and traumatic bruising (the “Product Line”). Pursuant to the license granted under the Alphabet Agreement, Conversion Labs PR obtains an exclusive license to incorporate (i) any intellectual property rights related to the Product Line and (ii) all designs, drawings, formulas, chemical compositions and specifications used or useable in the Product Line into one or more products manufactured, sold, and/or distributed by Alphabet for the treatment of purpura, bruising, post-procedural bruising and traumatic bruising and for all other fields of use or purposes (the “Licensed Product(s)”), and to make, have made, advertise, promote, market, sell, import, export, use, offer to sell and distribute the Licensed Product(s) throughout the world with the exception of China, Hong Kong, Japan, and Australia (the “License”).

The Company shall pay Alphabet a royalty equal to 13% of Gross Receipts (as defined in the Agreement) realized from the sales of Licensed Products. Further, so long as the Agreement is not previously terminated, the Company, also agreed to pay Alphabet $50,000 on the 120-day anniversary of the Agreement and an additional $50,000 on the 360-day anniversary of the Agreement.

Upon execution of the Alphabet Agreement, Alphabet was granted a 10-year stock option to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.50. Further, if Licensed Products have gross receipts of $7,500,000 in any calendar year, the Company will grant Alphabet an option to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.50; (ii) if Licensed Products have gross receipts of $10,000,000 in any calendar year, the Company will grant Alphabet an additional option to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 and (iii) If Licensed Products have gross receipts of $20,000,000 in any calendar year, the Company will grant Alphabet an option to purchase 40,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.75. The likelihood of meeting these performance goals for the licensed products are remote and, therefore, the Company has not recognized any compensation.

Purchase Commitments

Many of the Company’s vendors require product deposits when a purchase order is placed for goods or fulfillment services related to inventory requirements. The Company’s history of product deposits with its inventory vendors, creates an implicit purchase commitment equaling the total expected product acceptance cost in excess of the product deposit. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company approximates its implicit purchase commitments to be $1.6  million and $300,000, respectively.

Portions of the accompanying financial statements. At December 31, 2015, the Company had available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $2,730,000,will begin to expire in the year 2021 if not utilized prior to that date, expiring during various yearsyear through 2035.

A summary of2038. There is no provision for income taxes because the Company has historically incurred operating losses and maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset using an approximate 34% tax rate is as follows:

   December 31 
   2015  2014 
        
 Net operating loss $930,000  $975,000 
 Valuation allowance  (930,000)  (975,000)
 Total $-  $- 

assets. The net operating loss carryforwards could be subject to limitation in any given year in the event of a change in ownership as defined by IRC Section 382.

 

The deferred tax liability of $0 and $13,200 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, results from the difference in the carrying amount of furnishings and equipment between financial reporting and income tax reporting.

The deferred tax benefit included in the statement of operations represents the change in the deferred tax liability at each balance sheet date.

The difference between the statutory and the effective tax rate is primarily due to a change in valuation allowance on deferred taxes, asoverall increased by approximately $1,269,000 and $148,000 during the year ended 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company has fully reserved the deferred tax asset resulting from available net operating loss carryforwards.
