NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
1 – NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Corporate
History
LifeMD,
Inc. was formed in the State of Delaware on May 24, 1994, under its prior name, Immudyne, Inc. The Company changed its name to Conversion
Labs, Inc. on June 22, 2018 and then subsequently, on February 22, 2021, changed its name to LifeMD, Inc. Effective February 22, 2021,
the trading symbol for the Company’s 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 joint 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 the parent company to Conversion Labs, Inc., Immudyne PR was renamed to Conversion Labs PR LLC. 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 %. On February 22, 2021, concurrent with the name of the parent company to LifeMD, Inc.,
Conversion Labs PR LLC was renamed to LifeMD PR, LLC.
In
June 2018, the Company closed the strategic acquisition of 51 % of LegalSimpli Software, LLC, which operates a software as a service (SaaS)
application for converting, editing, signing and sharing PDF documents called PDFSimpli. In addition to LegalSimpli Software, LLC’s
growth business model, this acquisition added deep search engine optimization and search engine marketing expertise to the Company. On
July 15, 2021, LegalSimpli Software, LLC, changed its name to WorkSimpli Software, LLC, (“WorkSimpli”). Effective January
22, 2021, the Company consummated a transaction to restructure the ownership of WorkSimpli (the “WSS Restructuring”) (See
Note 7) and concurrently increased its ownership stake in WorkSimpli to 85.6 %.
Nature
of Business
The
Company is a direct-to-patient telehealth technology company that provides a smarter, cost-effective and convenient way for a provider’s
patients to access 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 telehealth technology 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 telehealth platform helps patients access their licensed providers for diagnoses, virtual care, and prescription medications,
often delivered on a recurring basis. In addition to its telehealth prescription offerings, the Company sells over-the-counter products.
All 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 the Company.
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 over-the-counter (“OTC”) products for male and
female hair loss, FDA approved OTC minoxidil, an FDA-cleared medical device, and now a personalized telehealth platform offering that
gives consumers access to virtual medical treatment from their providers and, when appropriate, a full line of oral and topical prescription
medications for hair loss. The Company’s men’s brand, Rex MD, currently offers access to provider-based treatment for erectile
dysfunction, as well as treatment for other common men’s health issues including premature ejaculation and hair loss. In the first
quarter of 2021, the Company launched its newest brand, Nava MD, a tele-dermatology and skincare brand for women. 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 WorkSimpli, which operates a software as a service (SaaS) application
for converting, editing, signing and sharing PDF documents called PDFSimpli. In addition to WorkSimpli’s growth business model,
this acquisition added deep search engine optimization and search engine marketing expertise to the Company. The Company subsequently
increased its ownership stake in WorkSimpli to its current 85.6%.
8
In
early 2019, the Company had launched a service-based business under the name Conversion Labs Media LLC (“CVLB Media”), a
Puerto Rico limited liability company, 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 with GoGoMeds.com (“GoGoMeds”) was formed in order to help facilitate
the launch of our telehealth 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 limited liability company, and Conversion Labs Asia Limited (“Conversion Labs
Asia”), a Hong Kong company, had no activity during both the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31,
2020. CVLB Rx was dissolved during the year ended December 31, 2020.
Unless
otherwise indicated, the terms “LifeMD,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”
refer to LifeMD, Inc. (formerly known as Conversion Labs, Inc.), our wholly subsidiary LifeMD PR, LLC (formerly Immudyne PR LLC, and
“Conversion Labs PR”), a Puerto Rico limited liability company (“Conversion Labs PR”, or “CLPR”),
LifeMD Southern Patient Medical Care (“LifeMD PC”), the Company’s professional physician corporation and our majority-owned
subsidiary, WorkSimpli. The Company facilitates the delivery of telehealth services to LifeMD PC’s patients via the upcoming LifeMD
primary care platform and holds a variable interest in LifeMD PC. Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United
States dollars.
Partnerships
On
July 13, 2021, the Company, on behalf of its customers, entered into an agreement to engage Quest Diagnostics Incorporated (“Quest
Diagnostics”) as the Company’s laboratory services provider to perform certain clinical laboratory diagnostic services based
on orders submitted to Quest Diagnostics by licensed health care providers who are under contract with the Company and are authorized
under U.S. federal or state law to order laboratory tests. Patients of LifeMD Inc.’s affiliated providers gain access to more than
150 of the most ordered laboratory tests at preferential prices, and which can be completed in the comfort, safety, and convenience of
their home or office or at any one of Quest Diagnostics’ 2,000 facilities .
On
July 14, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to engage Axle Health Inc. (“Axle Health”) to assist the Company in
establishing a platform to enable patients of the Company’s medical practice clients (“MP Clients”) to schedule certain
nursing services, including blood draws, injections, and other basic healthcare services, and to furnish operational support services
to medical practices using the platform. In connection therewith, Axle Health granted the Company a revocable, nontransferable, non-exclusive
right and license, with the right to grant sublicenses, to install and use the software and other technology relating to the platform
developed, owned, or with the right to grant sublicenses to install and use the software and/or other technology developed, owned, or
licensed by Axle Health, including the platform, to facilitate the scheduling and provision of certain nursing services to patients of
MP Clients.
On
August 4, 2021, the Company entered into a partnership agreement with Particle Health, a state-of-the-art, digital health company with
a HIPAA-compliant technology platform that converts electronic medical records data into a user-friendly Fast Healthcare Interoperability
Resource (“FHIR”) format. Particle Health enables healthcare companies by offering simple, secure access to vital medical
data. With Particle Health’s platform, and patient consent, licensed medical providers on the upcoming LifeMD primary care platform
gain instant access to comprehensive patient health records from a database covering over 90% of the US population, therefore enabling
best-in-class, personalized care through a deeper understanding of their patients’ medical histories .
On
August 30, 2021, the Company signed a letter of intent with Prescryptive Health (“Prescryptive”), a healthcare technology
company empowering consumers by improving the way healthcare is delivered. The partnership is expected to accelerate growth for both
companies by combining LifeMD’s expanding direct-to-patient telehealth brands and upcoming LifeMD primary care platform with Prescryptive’s
best-in-class digital pharmacy fulfillment and e-prescribing technology platform.
Reverse
Stock Split
On
October 9, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware
(the “Amendment”) in order to effectuate a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares
of common stock (the “Reverse Split” or “Split”). The Reverse Split was approved by the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority (FINRA) and became effective in the market on October 14, 2020. All references to common shares and common share data in these
financial statements and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, and for the three and nine months then ended,
reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
9
Liquidity
The
Company has funded operations in the past through the sales of its products, issuance of common and preferred stock and through loans
and advances. The Company’s continued operations are dependent upon obtaining an increase in its sale volumes and obtaining funding
from third-party sources or the issuance of additional shares of common stock.
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 $ 13.5 million after deducting
fees payable to the placement agent and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net
proceeds to fund growth initiatives, as well as for general corporate purposes.
On
June 1, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with a financial institution
(the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company sold and issued: (i) a senior secured redeemable debenture (the “Debenture”)
in the aggregate principal amount of $ 15.0 million (the “Aggregate Principal Amount”), and (ii) warrants to purchase up to
an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $ 12.00 per share (the “Warrant”)
of which 500,000 warrants were issued to the Purchaser upon closing with the remaining 1,000,000 warrants only issued to the Purchaser
in increments of 500,000 if the Debenture remains outstanding for twelve and twenty four months, respectively, following the closing
date of the Purchase Agreement. The Warrant has a term of three years , and the Debenture has a maturity date of three years. The Debenture
may be paid fully or in part by the Company at any time prior to maturity without penalty to the Company. The Company received gross
proceeds of $ 15.0 million and intends to use such proceeds for working capital, growth investment and general corporate purposes. In
October 2021, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the October 4, 2021 Preferred and Common Stock Offerings noted below
to pay the $ 15.0 million outstanding on the June 1, 2021 Purchase Agreement.
On
June 8, 2021, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, or “Securities Act”,
which was declared effective on June 22, 2021 (the “2021 Shelf”). Under the 2021 Shelf at the time of effectiveness, the
Company had the ability to raise up to $ 150 million by selling common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants and units. In
conjunction with the 2021 Shelf, the Company also entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “ATM Sales Agreement”)
with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (“B. Riley”) and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”, and collectively the “Agents”)
relating to the sale of its common stock. In accordance with the terms of the ATM Sales Agreement, the Company may, but is not obligated
to, offer and sell, from time to time, shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $ 60 million, through or to
the Agents, acting as agent or principal. Sales of common stock, if any, will be made by any method permitted that is deemed an “at
the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company intends to use any net proceeds from the sale
of securities for our operations and for other general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, capital expenditures, general
working capital and possible future acquisitions. There were 70,786 shares of common stock sold under the ATM Sales Agreement as of September
30, 2021 and net proceeds received were $ 493,481 . The Company had approximately $ 59.5 million available under the ATM Sales Agreement
and $ 90 million available under the 2021 Shelf as of September 30, 2021.
In
September 2021, the Company entered into two underwriting agreements (the “Preferred Underwriting Agreement” and “the
Common Underwriting Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (“B.Riley”). Pursuant to the Preferred Underwriting
Agreement, the Company agreed to sell 1,400,000 shares of its 8.875 % Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $ 0.0001
per share, (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) at a public offering price of $ 25.00 per share, prior to deducting underwriting
discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses (the “Preferred Stock Offering”). In addition, the company granted
the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 210,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock within 30 days. Under the Common
Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to B. Riley 3,833,334 shares of common stock (including 500,000 shares pursuant to
B. Riley’s option) (the “Common Shares”), par value $ 0.01 per share, of the Company at a public offering price of $ 6.00
per share of common stock, prior to deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses (the “Common
Stock Offering”). The Preferred Stock Offering and Common Stock Offering collectively referred to as the “Offerings”,
closed on October 4, 2021. Net proceeds after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions, the structuring fee and estimated
offering expenses payable by the Company, but before repayment of debt, from the Offerings was approximately $ 55.3 million. The Company
used a portion of the net proceeds to pay the $ 15.0 million outstanding on the June 1, 2021 Purchase Agreement and intends to use the
remaining net proceeds to fund the segregated dividend account, for working capital and general corporate purposes including, but not
limited to, new patient customer acquisition expenses and capital expenditures.
The
Company will pay cumulative distributions on the Series A Preferred Stock, from the date of original issuance, in the amount of $ 2.21875
per share each year, which is equivalent to 8.875 % of the $ 25.00 liquidation preference per share. Dividends on the Series A Preferred
Stock will be payable quarterly in arrears, on or about the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year. The first dividend
on the Series A Preferred Stock sold in this offering will be paid on or about January 15, 2022.
10
Liquidity
Evaluation
As
of September 30, 2021, the Company has an accumulated deficit approximating $ 122.9 million and has experienced 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 2022. Additionally, the Company expects its burn rate of cash to continue through the end of 2022; 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 and securities purchased by a financial institution. Management is unable to predict if and when the Company will
be able to generate significant positive cash flow or achieve profitability. There can be no assurances that 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 $ 41.4
million as of the filing date, which includes the $ 13.5
million of net proceeds from the February 2021
Offering and the $ 55.3
million of net proceeds from the October 4, 2021
Offerings. Based on the Company’s projected cash requirements, management estimates that it will utilize approximately $ 19
million through the next 12 months from
the filing date of this report. The Company reviewed its forecasted
operating results and sources and uses of cash used in management’s assessment, which included the available financing, consideration
of positive and negative evidence impacting management’s forecasts, market and industry factors. Positive indicators that lead
to its conclusion that the Company will have sufficient cash over the next 12 months following the date of this report include: (1) its
continued strengthening of the Company’s revenues and improvement of operational efficiencies across the business, (2) the expected
improvement in its cash burn rate in the remainder of 2021 and over the next 12 months, (3) the Company’s October 4, 2021 Offerings
whereby the Company received total net proceeds of $ 55.3
million, (4) $ 59.5
million available under the ATM Sales Agreement
and $ 90
million available under the 2021 Shelf, (5) management’s
ability to curtail expenses if necessary and (6) the overall market value of the telehealth industry and how it believes that will continue
to drive interest in the Company.
NOTE
2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8
of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete audited financial statements. The accompanying unaudited financial information should
be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2020, included in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The information furnished in this report reflects
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation
of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for each period presented. The results of operations for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any future
period.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
Company evaluates the need to consolidate affiliates based on standards set forth in ASC 810 Consolidation (“ASC 810”).
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, CLPR, its
majority owned subsidiary, WorkSimpli, in addition to LifeMD PC, the Company’s professional physician corporation. The non-controlling
interest in WorkSimpli represents the 49 % equity interest held by other members of the subsidiary as of December 31, 2020. During the
nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company purchased an additional 34.6 % of WorkSimpli for a total equity interest of approximately
85.6 % (see Note 7). CVLB Media, CVLB Rx and Conversion Labs Asia had no activity during both the nine months ended September 30, 2021
and the year ended December 31, 2020. CVLB Rx was dissolved during the year ended December 31, 2020.
All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Highly
liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents. As of September 30,
2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no cash equivalents. The Company maintains deposits in financial institutions in excess of amounts
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions, and at times,
balances may exceed federally insured limits. We have never experienced any losses related to these balances.
11
Use
of Estimates
The
Company prepares its unaudited condensed 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, stockholders’ equity-based transactions, estimates to cash flow projections
and going concern assessment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain
reclassifications 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 appropriately conform the Company’s presentation of operating results to industry and accounting standards, the
Company has changed their categories for reporting operations. As a result, the Company has made reclassifications to the prior year
presentation in order to conform it to the current periods’ presentation. These reclassifications include: (1) $ 844,566 and $ 1,762,351
of merchant processing fees reclassified from cost of revenues to general and administrative expenses, (2) $ 214,788 and $ 48 of reimbursable
expenses reclassified from cost of revenues to operating expenses and (3) $ 7,824 and $ 8,853 of taxes and licensing fees reclassified
from operating expenses to general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company records revenue under the adoption of ASC 606 by analyzing exchanges with its 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 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 $ 871,000 and $ 823,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively,
and approximated $ 3,455,000 and $ 2,157,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The
Company, through its majority-owned subsidiary WorkSimpli, 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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company
has accrued contract liabilities, as deferred revenue, of approximately $ 1,436,000 and $ 917,000 , 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 WorkSimpli revenues approximated $ 377,000 and $ 275,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and approximated $ 1,599,000 and $ 545,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021
and 2020, respectively.
For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, 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. 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 September 30, 2021 and December
31, 2020, the Company had an allowance for bad debt, attributable to the single agent relationship amounting to approximately $ 133,000
and $ 133,000 , respectively. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the reserve for sales returns and allowances was approximately
$ 470,000 and $ 349,000 , 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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, inventory primarily consisted of finished goods related to the Company’s OTC products
included in the telehealth revenue section of the table above. Inventory is maintained at the Company’s third-party warehouse location
in Wyoming and at the Amazon fulfillment center. The Company also maintains inventory at a related-party warehouse in Pennsylvania.
13
Inventory
is valued at the lower of cost or net 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 net realizable, if
lower. The Company recorded an inventory reserve in the amount of $ 57,481 as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
As
of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s inventory consisted of the following:

Product
Deposit
Many
of our OTC product 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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has $ 911,948 and $ 816,765 , 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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company approximates its implicit purchase commitments to be $ 3.8 million
and $ 1.6 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the vast majority of these product deposits are with
one vendor that manufacturers the Company’s finished goods inventory for its Shapiro hair care product line.
Capitalized
Software Costs
The
Company capitalizes certain internal payroll costs and third-party costs related to internally developed software and amortizes these
costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, generally three years. The Company does not sell
internally developed software other than through the use of subscription service. Certain development costs not meeting the criteria
for capitalization, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 350-40 Internal-Use Software ,
are expensed as incurred. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company capitalized $ 2,169,644 and $ 438,136 , respectively,
related to internally developed software costs which are amortized over the useful life and included in development costs on our statement
of operations.
Intangible
Assets
Intangible
assets are comprised of: (1) a customer relationship asset (with original cost of approximately $ 1,007,000 ) with an estimated useful
life of three years, (2) a purchased license (with original cost of $ 200,000 ) with an estimated useful life of ten years and (3) a purchased
domain name (with an original cost of $ 22,231 ) with an estimated useful life of three years. 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.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived
assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that an asset may not be recoverable and
are grouped with other assets to the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other
groups of assets and liabilities (asset group). If the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest charges) of an
asset group is less than its carrying value and the fair value of an asset group is also less than its carrying value, the assets 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 determination is made.
14
Paycheck
Protection Program
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company received aggregate loan proceeds in the amount of approximately $ 249,000 under the Paycheck
Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and 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 accrued 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 first six
months. The Company intends to use the proceeds for purposes consistent with the PPP. While the Company currently believes that its use
of the loan proceeds will meet the conditions for forgiveness of the loan, we cannot assure you that we will not take actions that could
cause the Company to be ineligible for forgiveness of the loan, in whole or in part.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had a total of $ 184,914 of its PPP loans forgiven by the SBA (see Note 5). As of
September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the PPP loan balance was $ 63,400 and $ 248,314 , respectively, and is reflected on the Company’s
consolidated balance sheet as current liabilities, within notes payable, net.
Income
Taxes
The
Company files corporate federal, state and local tax returns. Conversion Labs PR and WorkSimpli file tax returns in Puerto Rico, both
are limited liability companies and file separate tax returns 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”) 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, 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 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. Due to limited history of forfeitures, the 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. Convertible
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.
The
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 method,” which assumes that the “proceeds” from the exercise of
these instruments are used to purchase common shares at the average market price for the period. The dilutive effect of traditional convertible
debt and preferred 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 the resulting common shares are included in the denominator of the diluted EPS calculation
for the entire period being presented.
15
The
following table summarizes the number of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to our convertible securities that were excluded from
the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive even though the exercise price
could be less than the average market price of the common shares:

Concentrations
of 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 and pharmacies, although we believe that other contract manufacturers or third-party
pharmacies could be quickly secured if any of our current manufacturers or pharmacies cease to perform adequately. As of September 30,
2021 and December 31, 2020, 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2021
and 2020, we purchased 100 % of our finished goods from two (2) OTC manufacturers.

5 – NOTES PAYABLE
PPP
Loan and Forgiveness
In
June 2020, the Company and its subsidiaries received three loans in the aggregate amount of approximately $ 248,314 (the “PPP Loan”)
under the Paycheck Protection Program legislation administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. These loans bear interest at
one percent per annum ( 1.0 %) and mature five years from the date of the first disbursement. The proceeds of the PPP Loan must be used
for payroll costs, lease payments on agreements entered into before February 15, 2020 and utility payments under lease agreements entered
into before February 1, 2020. At least 60% of the proceeds must be used for payroll costs and certain other expenses and no more than
40% may be used on non-payroll expenses. Proceeds from the PPP Loan used by the Company for the approved expense categories may be fully
forgiven by the Small Business Administration if the Company satisfies applicable employee headcount and compensation requirements. The
Company currently believes that a majority of the PPP Loan proceeds will qualify for debt forgiveness; however, there can be no assurance
that the Company will qualify for forgiveness from the Small Business Administration until it occurs. During the nine months ended September
30, 2021, the Company had a total of $ 184,914 of its PPP loans forgiven by the SBA which is included in gain on debt forgiveness on the
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the PPP loan balance
was $ 63,400 and $ 248,314 , respectively, and is reflected on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as current
liabilities, within notes payable, net.
Bank
Loan
In
December 2020, the Company received proceeds of $ 500,000 under a short-term working capital loan with Chase Bank. The terms of the loan
include a service charge of $ 19,950 ( 3.99 %). The total balance of $ 519,950 as of December 31, 2020, included in notes payable, net, on
the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, and was repaid in full in January 2021.

NOTE
6 – LONG-TERM DEBT
Securities
Purchase Agreement
As
noted above, on June 1, 2021, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Company sold
and issued: (i) the Debenture in the aggregate principal amount of $ 15.0 million and (ii) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of
1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $ 12.00 per share of which 500,000 warrants were issued to
the Purchaser upon closing with the remaining 1,000,000 warrants only issued to the Purchaser in increments of 500,000 if the Debenture
remains outstanding for twelve and twenty four months, respectively, following the closing date of the Purchase Agreement. The total
fair value of the 500,000 warrants issued to the Purchaser upon closing was $ 6,270,710 . The total fair value was recorded to debt discount
and was included as a reduction to long-term debt on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021. The
debt discount will be amortized over a twelve-month period. Total amortization of debt discount was $ 1,567,677 and $ 2,090,236 for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The Warrant has a term of three years . The
Aggregate Principal Amount of the Debenture, together with interest, is due and payable on June 1, 2024. The Debenture bears interest
as follows: (i) for the period beginning on June 1, 2021 and ending on the date that is six (6) months thereafter (the “Initial
Interest Rate Period”) shall be six percent (6%), (ii) for the period beginning the date following the Initial Interest Rate Period
and ending on the date that is three (3) months thereafter (the “Second Interest Rate Period”), nine percent (9%), and (iii)
for the period beginning the date following the Second Interest Rate Period and ending on June 1, 2024, twelve percent (12%). Until such
time as the obligations shall have been paid in full, the Company shall apply thirty-five percent (35%) of the gross proceeds received
by the Company from At-The-Market offerings of its Common Stock to partial redemptions of each Debenture on a pro rata basis.
The Company received gross proceeds of $ 15.0 million (net proceeds of $ 14.9 million) and intends to use such proceeds for working capital
and general corporate purposes. In October 2021, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the October 4, 2021 Offerings to
pay the $ 15.0 million outstanding on the June 1, 2021 Purchase Agreement.
Total
interest expense on long-term debt, inclusive of amortization of debt discounts, amounted to $ 1,732,663 and $ 0 for the three months ended
September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Total interest expense on long-term debt, inclusive of amortization of debt discounts, amounted
to $ 2,405,222 and $ 0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
NOTE
7 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
The
Company has authorized the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $ 0.01 par value, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
$ 0.0001 par value, of which 5,000 shares are designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, 1,610,000 are designated as Series A
Preferred Stock and 4,996,500 shares of preferred stock remain undesignated.
On
October 9, 2020, the Company effectuated a 1-for-5 reverse stock split (the “Stock Split”) of the Company’s issued
and outstanding shares of common stock that became effective in the market on October 14, 2020 (see Note 1). In connection with the Stock
Split, the Company issued approximately 632 shares for rounding.
On

Effective

Note was extinguished.
Concurrently,
in furtherance of the WSS Restructuring, Conversion Labs PR entered into two Membership Interest Purchase Agreements (the “Founding
Members MIPAs”) with two founding members of WSS (the “Founding Members”) whereby Conversion Labs PR purchased from
the Founding Members an aggregate of 2,183 membership interests of WSS for an aggregate purchase price of $ 225,000 , paid in December
2020.
In
furtherance of the WSS Restructuring, Conversion Labs PR entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with WSS, (the “CVLB
PR MIPA”), pursuant to which Conversion Labs PR purchased 12,000 membership interests of WSS for an aggregate purchase price of
$ 300,000 . The CVLB PR MIPA provides that the transaction may be completed in three (3) tranches with a purchase price of $100,000 per
tranche to be made at the sole discretion of Conversion Labs PR. Payment for the first tranche of $100,000 was made upon execution of
the CVLB PR MIPA in January 2021. Payments for the second and third tranches were made on the 60-day anniversary and the 120-day anniversary
of the WSS Effective Date.
Following
the consummation of the WSS Restructuring, Conversion Labs PR increased its ownership of WSS from 51% to approximately 85.58% on a fully
diluted basis. WSS entered into an amendment to its operating agreement (the “WSS Operating Agreement Amendment”) to reflect
the change in ownership.
Concurrently
with the WSS Restructuring, Conversion Labs PR entered into option agreements with Sean Fitzpatrick (the “Fitzpatrick Option Agreement”)
and Varun Pathak (the “Pathak Option Agreement” together with Fitzpatrick Option Agreement the “Option Agreements”),
pursuant to which Conversion Labs PR granted options to purchase membership interest units of WSS. Upon vesting, the Fitzpatrick Options
and the Pathak Options provide for the potential re-purchase of up to an additional 13.25% of WSS by Fitzpatrick and Pathak in the aggregate
with Conversion Labs PR ownership ratably reduced to approximately 72.98%.
The
Fitzpatrick Option Agreement grants Sean Fitzpatrick the option to purchase 10,300 membership interest units of WSS for an exercise price
of $1.00 per membership interest unit. The Fitzpatrick Options vest in accordance with the following (i) 3,434 membership interests upon
WSS achieving $2,500,000 of gross sales in any fiscal quarter (ii) 3,434 membership interests upon WSS achieving $4,000,000 of gross
sales in any fiscal quarter and (iii) 3,434 membership interests upon WSS achieving $8,000,000 of gross sales with a ten percent (10%)
net profit margin in any fiscal quarter.

Pathak Options shall vest in accordance with the following (i) 700 membership interests upon WSS achieving $2,500,000 of gross sales
in any fiscal quarter (ii) 700 membership interests upon WSS achieving $4,000,000 of gross sales in any fiscal quarter and (iii) 700
membership interests upon WSS achieving $8,000,000 of gross sales with a ten percent (10%) net profit margin in any fiscal quarter.

first two tranches of performance options granted to Sean Fitzpatrick and Varun Pathak vested immediately after the consummation of the
restructuring transaction and therefore have been recorded as part of the acquisition through equity. The third tranche is not deemed
probable and therefore has not been recognized to date.

from 1,000,000 options to 500,000 options, 130,000 of which are fully vested as of the effective date and (ii) amend the vesting schedule
for the remaining 370,000 performance options to include four performance metrics that, if met, each trigger the vesting of 92,500 options.
As a result of amendment, the Company cancelled 500,000 service-based options with an exercise price of $ 1.50 .
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,686,500 stock options to employees and advisory board

NOTE
8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Royalty
Agreements
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. As of both September 30,
2021 and December 31, 2020, no amount was included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in regard to this agreement.
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. No amounts were earned
or owed as of September 30, 2021.
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.
23
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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020,
the Company approximates its implicit purchase commitments to be $ 3.8 million and $ 1.6 million, respectively.
Legal
Matters
In
the normal course of business operations, the Company may become involved in various legal matters. As of September 30, 2021, other than
as set forth below, the Company’s management does not believe that there are any potentially material pending legal proceedings.
On
April 16, 2021, a purported securities class action lawsuit, captioned David L. Owens, Sr. v. LifeMD, Inc. et al. , Case No. 21-cv-03384,
was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, Justin Schreiber (LifeMD’s
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer), Juan Pinero Dagnery (LifeMD’s former Chief Financial Officer), and Marc Benathen
(LifeMD’s current Chief Financial Officer) (the “Owens, Sr. Lawsuit”). The Owens, Sr. Complaint alleges, among other
things, that the defendants made false or misleading statements about, and allegedly failed to disclose material adverse facts concerning,
the Company’s business, operations, and prospects, and asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The Complaint does not quantify damages but seeks to recover damages on behalf of
investors who purchased or otherwise acquired LifeMD’s common stock between January 19, 2021 and April 13, 2021. On May 18, 2021,
the class action lawsuit filed against the Company was voluntarily dismissed.
Similarly,
on May 5, 2021, a second purported securities class action lawsuit, captioned Cho v. LifeMD, Inc. et al. , Case No. 21-cv-04004,
was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the same aforementioned parties (the “Cho
Lawsuit”). The Cho Complaint makes the same claims as found in the Owens, Sr. Lawsuit, and, similarly, does not quantify damages
and seeks to recover damages on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired LifeMD’s common stock during the same,
aforementioned time period between January 19, 2021 and April 13, 2021. On May 19, 2021, the class action lawsuit filed against the Company
was voluntarily dismissed.
On
June 7, 2021, a purported Americans with Disabilities class action lawsuit, captioned Sosa v. LifeMD, Inc. et al. , Case No. 21-cv-05032,
was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Sosa Complaint alleges, inter alia, that the
defendants’ www.rexmd.com has barriers making it inaccessible to the visually impaired needing the assistance of screen-reading
software, and therefore, allegedly violates: (i) the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12181 et seq.; (ii) the New York
State Human Rights Law (NYSHRL), N.Y. Exec. Law §§ 292 and 296; and (iii) the New York City Human Rights Law (NYCHRL), §§
8-102 and 8-107. The Complaint does not quantify damages but seeks to recover compensatory damages, civil penalties, and attorneys’
fees and costs under the NYSHRL and NYCHRL, as well as punitive damages under the NYCHRL. The Complaint also seeks preliminary and permanent
injunctive relief. On September 20, 2021, the class action lawsuit filed against the Company was voluntarily dismissed.

Corporate
History
We
were formed in the State of Delaware on May 24, 1994, under our prior name, Immudyne, Inc. 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 our name
change, we changed our trading symbol to LFMD. In June 2018, the Company closed the strategic acquisition of 51% of WorkSimpli, a company
that provides a software as a service (SaaS) for converting, editing, signing and sharing PDF documents called PDFSimpli. Effective January
22, 2021, we consummated a transaction to restructure the ownership of WorkSimpli through a series of agreements as further described
below.
Business
Overview and Strategy
We
are a direct-to-patient telehealth technology company that provides a smarter, cost-effective and convenient way for a provider’s
patients to access healthcare. We believe the traditional model of visiting a doctor’s office, 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 telehealth. Direct-to-patient telehealth companies, like LifeMD, Inc., connect consumers digitally to licensed healthcare
professionals for care across various needs, such as virtual primary care, men’s sexual health, dermatology, and others.
Our
telemedicine platform provides patients access to licensed providers for diagnoses, virtual care, and prescription medications, often
delivered on a recurring basis. In addition to our telemedicine technology offerings, we sell nutritional supplements and other over-the-counter
products. Many of our products are available on a subscription basis, where patients 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 customer acquisition strategy combines strategic brand-building media placements, influencer partnerships, and direct response
advertising methods across highly scalable marketing channels (i.e. national TV, streaming TV, streaming audio, YouTube, podcasts, Out
of Home, print, magazines, online search, social media, and digital).
Since
inception, we have helped more than 420,000 customers and patients, providing them greater access to high-quality, convenient, and affordable
care in all 50 states. Our telehealth revenue increased 135% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 2020. Total revenue from recurring subscriptions is approximately 90%. In addition to our telehealth business, we
own 85.6% of WorkSimpli, which operates PDFSimpli, a rapidly growing SaaS platform for converting, signing, editing and sharing PDF documents.
This business has also seen 331% year over year revenue growth, with recurring revenue of 98%.
27
Many
people can relate to the hassle and inconvenience of seeking medical care. We believe that telehealth platforms like ours will fundamentally
shift how a provider’s patients perceive and access healthcare in the United States, by necessity and by preference. With the average
wait time to see a physician in the United States now greater than 29 days and the United States projected 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 technology 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 telemedicine 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 a provider’s
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
believe that brand innovation, customer acquisition and service excellence form the heart of our business. As is exemplified with our
first brand, Shapiro MD, we have built a full line of proprietary over-the-counter (“OTC”) products for male and female hair
loss, FDA approved OTC minoxidil, an FDA-cleared medical device, and now a telehealth platform offering that gives consumers access to
virtual medical treatment from their providers and, when appropriate, a full line of oral and topical prescription medications for hair
loss. Our men’s brand, RexMD, currently offers access to provider-based treatment through telehealth for men’s health conditions,
currently providing prescription medications and OTC products for chronic conditions such as sexual health and hair loss. Rex MD has
recently expanded its services to provide access to primary care and will soon offer treatments for additional chronic indications present
in men’s health. We have built a platform that allows us to efficiently launch telehealth brands and offerings wherever we determine
there is a market need. Our platform is supported by a driven team of digital marketing and branding experts, data analysts, designers,
and engineers focused on building enduring brands.
In
addition to our telehealth business, we own 85.6% of WorkSimpli, which operates PDFSimpli, a rapidly growing SaaS platform for converting,
signing, editing and sharing PDF documents.
Our
Brand Portfolio
We
have built a strategic portfolio of wholly-owned telemedicine platform brands that address large unmet needs in men’s health, hair
loss and dermatology. LifeMD is also preparing to offer administrative support to various professional entities that will provide a direct
concierge medicine offering to patients under the LifeMD brand. We continue to scale our offerings in a calculated 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 we treat is to guide the provider’s patient through a medical intake process and product
selection, after which a licensed U.S. physician within our contracted network conducts a virtual consultation and, if appropriate, prescribes
necessary prescription medications and/or recommends over-the-counter products. Prescription medications and over-the-counter products
are filled by pharmacy fulfillment partners and shipped directly to the patient. The number of patients and customers we serve across
the nation continues to increase at a robust pace, with more than 420,000 individuals having purchased our products and services to date.
Hair
Loss: ShapiroMD
Launched
in 2017, ShapiroMD offers access to virtual medical treatment, prescription medications, patented doctor formulated over-the-counter
products, and an FDA approved medical device for male and female hair loss through our telemedicine platform. ShapiroMD has emerged as
a leading destination for hair loss treatment across the United States and has served more than 200,000 customers and patients since
inception with a 4.9 star Trustpilot rating. In Q1 2021, ShapiroMD greatly enhanced its offerings for female hair loss treatment with
the addition of topical compounded medications to its product portfolio.
Men’s
Health: RexMD
Launched
in 2019, RexMD is a men’s telehealth platform brand offering access to virtual medical treatment for a variety of men’s health
needs. After treatment from a licensed physician, if appropriate, we dispense and ship prescription medications and over-the-counter
products directly to a provider’s patients. Since RexMD’s initial launch in the erectile dysfunction treatment market, it
has expanded into additional indications, including but not limited to, premature ejaculation and hair loss. Our vision for RexMD is
to become a leading telehealth destination for men.
28
Dermatology:
NavaMD
Launched
in the first quarter of 2021, Nava MD is a female-oriented tele-dermatology brand that offers access to virtual medical treatment from
dermatologists and other providers, and, if appropriate, prescription oral and compounded topical medications to treat dermatological
conditions such as anti-aging and acne. In addition to the brand’s telehealth offerings, NavaMD’s proprietary products leverage
intellectual property and proprietary formulations licensed from Restorsea, a leading medical grade skincare technology platform.
Restorsea’s
clinically proven skincare technology platform is the result of more than $50 million invested in R&D and intellectual property development,
and Restorsea has received 35 patents along with broad industry and academic acclaim, with its breakthrough clinical results having been
published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Drugs in Dermatology and Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology. Nava MD is one of the
first direct-to-patient brands to offer this advanced skincare technology. Nava MD offers access to tele-dermatology services to a provider’s
patients in all 50 states.
Immune
Health: iNR Wellness MD
Launched
in 2018, iNR Wellness MD is a supplement for immune and digestive support. The iNR Wellness product line is a daily nutritional supplement
that contains yeast, oat, and mushroom beta glucans.
Majority
Owned Subsidiary: WorkSimpli
WorkSimpli
operates PDFSimpli, an online software-as-a-service (SAAS) platform that allows users to create, edit, convert, sign and share PDF documents.
WorkSimpli was acquired through the purchase of 51% of the membership interests of WorkSimpli Software, LLC, a Puerto Rico limited liability
company, which operates a marketing-driven software solutions business. In addition to WorkSimpli’s growth business model, this
acquisition added deep search engine optimization and search engine marketing expertise to the Company. On January 22, 2021, the Company
consummated a transaction and increased its ownership of WorkSimpli to 85.6%.
As
of September 30, 2021, WorkSimpli was ranked in the top 4,232 websites globally, in which it was also ranked in the top 563 for specific
countries with more than 14 million registrants globally. Since its launch, WorkSimpli has converted or edited over 11 terabytes of documents
for customers from the legal, financial, real-estate and academic sectors. WorkSimpli had over 139,200 active subscriptions as of September
30, 2021.
Significant
Developments During the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021
Partnerships
On
July 13, 2021, the Company, on behalf of its customers, entered into an agreement to engage Quest Diagnostics Incorporated (“Quest
Diagnostics”) as the Company’s laboratory services provider to perform certain clinical laboratory diagnostic services based
on orders submitted to Quest Diagnostics by licensed health care providers who are under contract with the Company and are authorized
under U.S. federal or state law to order laboratory tests. Patients of LifeMD Inc.’s affiliated providers gain access to laboratory
tests which can be completed in their home or office or at any one of Quest Diagnostics’ 2,000 facilities.
On
July 14, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to engage Axle Health Inc. (“Axle Health”) to assist the Company in
establishing a platform to enable patients of the Company’s medical practice clients (“MP Clients”) to schedule certain
nursing services, including blood draws, injections, and other basic healthcare services, and to furnish operational support services
to medical practices using the platform. In connection therewith, Axle Health granted the Company a revocable, nontransferable, non-exclusive
right and license, with the right to grant sublicenses, to install and use the software and other technology relating to the platform
developed, owned, or with the right to grant sublicenses to install and use the software and/or other technology developed, owned, or
licensed by Axle Health, including the platform, to facilitate the scheduling and provision of certain nursing services to patients of
MP Clients.
On
August 4, 2021, the Company entered into a partnership agreement with Particle Health, a digital health company with a HIPAA-compliant
technology platform that converts electronic medical records data into a user-friendly Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource (“FHIR”)
format. Particle Health offers healthcare companies secure access to vital medical data. With Particle Health’s platform, and patient
consent, licensed medical providers on the upcoming LifeMD primary care platform gain access to comprehensive patient health records,
therefore enabling personalized care through a deeper understanding of their patients’ medical histories.
On
August 30, 2021, the Company entered into a strategic partnership with Prescryptive Health (“Prescryptive”), a healthcare
technology company empowering consumers by improving the way healthcare is delivered. The partnership is expected to accelerate growth
for both companies by combining LifeMD’s expanding direct-to-patient telehealth brands and upcoming primary care platform with
Prescryptive’s best-in-class digital pharmacy fulfillment and e-prescribing technology platform.
29
Supply
Chain
The
continuing impact on business activity brought about by COVID-19 continues to evolve, globally in macro terms, and in micro terms, as
such affects the Company. Among other things, our supply chain is subject to the effects of COVID-19, as well as to natural disasters
and other events beyond our control, such as raw material, component and labor shortages, global and regional shipping and logistics
constraints, work stoppages, power outages and the physical effects of climate change, including changes in weather patterns. In addition,
human rights concerns, including forced labor and human trafficking, in foreign countries and associated governmental responses have
the potential to disrupt our supply chain and our operations could be adversely impacted. Although we do not believe that raw materials
used in the products we sell are sourced from regions with forced labor concerns, any delays or other supply chain disruption resulting
from these concerns, associated governmental responses, or a desire to source products, components or materials from other manufacturers
or regions could result in shipping delays, cancellations, penalty payments, or loss of revenue and market share, any of which could
have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
In
connection with these potential impacts on our supply chain, we are, as a general matter, seeing a trend of increases in (i) pricing
on air and ocean freight, as well as for component and product parts, and (ii) the overall time to receive shipments. If these trends
continue, many of our estimates and assumptions for the period ended September 30, 2021 may be subject to a material change in future
periods.
COVID-19
Vaccine Mandate
We
are making preparations to comply with a rule issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) to ensure
that our employees are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by January 4th or that they test negative for COVID-19 at least once per week.
Employees must receive time off to get vaccinated and sick leave to recover from any side effects. Any unvaccinated employees must wear
face coverings while at work. We are in the process of assessing the financial and staffing impact of these requirements.

Revenues
for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were approximately $24.9 million, an increase of 127% compared to approximately $11.0 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in revenues was attributable to both the increase in telehealth revenue of
97% and an increase in revenue for WorkSimpli of 309%. Telehealth revenue accounts for 74% of total revenue and has increased in the
three months ended September 30, 2021 due to an increase in online sales demand, with the majority of the growth of our telehealth brands,
RexMD and ShapiroMD. Revenue for WorkSimpli accounts for 26% of total revenue and has steadily increased due to a combination of higher
demand, increased market awareness, enhanced digital capabilities and continued marketing campaign expansion.
Total
cost of revenues consists of the cost of (1) telehealth revenues, which primarily include product costs, pharmacy fulfillment costs,
MD consult fees and shipping costs directly attributable to our prescription and OTC products and (2) the cost of WorkSimpli revenue
consisting primarily of information technology fees related to providing the services made available on our online platform. Total cost
of revenue increased by approximately 204% to approximately $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to approximately
$1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The combined cost of revenue increase was due to increased costs related
to our increased sale volumes when compared to the prior period ended September 30, 2020.
Gross
profit increased by approximately 113% to approximately $19.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to approximately
$9.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, as a result of increased combined sales. Telehealth costs increased to 27%
of associated telehealth revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2021, from 17% of associated telehealth revenues during
the three months ended September 30, 2020. WorkSimpli costs decreased to 2% of associated WorkSimpli revenues during the three months
ended September 30, 2021, from 5% of associated WorkSimpli revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2020. WorkSimpli revenues
as a percentage of total revenues increased to 26% during the three months ended September 30, 2021, from 14% during the three months
ended September 30, 2020. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 80% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared
to 85% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 primarily due to product sales mix and one-time costs associated with the
non-cash write-off of legacy product deposits.

expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were approximately $32.4 million, as compared to approximately $29.9 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2020. This represents an increase of 9%, or $2.6 million. The increase is primarily attributable
to:
(i)
Selling
and marketing expenses: This mainly consists of online marketing and advertising expenses. During the three months ended September
30, 2021, the Company had an increase of approximately $9.8 million, or 93% in selling and marketing costs resulting from additional
sales and marketing initiatives to drive the current period’s sales growth reported. This ramp up is expected to both increase
and maintain sustained revenue growth in future years, based on the Company’s recurring revenue subscription-based sales model.
Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue was 81.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to
95.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. This represents a decrease of 14.3%.
31
(ii)
General
and administrative expenses: During the three months ended September 30, 2021, stock-based compensation expense was $3.1 million,
with the majority related to stock compensation expense attributable to service-based stock options, as compared to stock-based compensation
expense of $16.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. This category also consists of merchant processing fees,
payroll expenses for executive management, amortization expense and legal and professional fees. During the three months ended September
30, 2021, the Company had a decrease of approximately $7.8 million in general and administrative expenses, primarily related to the
decrease in stock-based compensation costs referenced above partially offset by an increase in legal and professional fees and other
increases in infrastructure expenses incurred to support the sales volume increases.
(iii)
Other
operating expenses: This consists of rent, insurance, royalty expense, bank charges and IT services. During the three months ended
September 30, 2021, the Company had an increase of approximately $272 thousand, or 50%, primarily related to increases in the general
cost environment necessary to support the Company’s sales growth.
(iv)
Customer
service expenses: This consists of payroll and benefit expenses related to the Company’s customer service department located
in South Carolina and Puerto Rico. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had an increase of approximately
$275 thousand, primarily related to increases in headcount in the Company’s customer service department.
(v)
Development
costs: This mainly relates to third-party technology services for developing and maintaining our online platforms. During the three
months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had an increase of approximately $13 thousand, primarily resulting from technology platform
improvements and amortization expense.

Revenues
for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were approximately $65.5 million, an increase of 168% compared to approximately $24.4 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in revenues was attributable to both the increase in telehealth revenue of
135% and an increase in WorkSimpli revenue of 331%. Telehealth revenue accounts for 73% of total revenue and has increased in the nine
months ended September 30, 2021 due to an increase in online sales demand, with the majority of the growth from our telehealth brands,
RexMD and ShapiroMD. WorkSimpli revenue accounts for 27% of total revenue and has steadily increased quarter over quarter due to a combination
of higher demand, increased market awareness, enhanced digital capabilities and continued marketing 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.
Total
cost of revenues consists of the cost of (1) telehealth revenues, which primarily include product costs, pharmacy fulfillment costs,
MD consult fees and shipping costs directly attributable to our prescription and OTC products and (2) the cost of WorkSimpli revenue
consisting primarily of information technology fees related to providing the services made available on our online platform. Total cost
of revenue increased by approximately 152% to approximately $12.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to approximately
$4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The combined cost of revenue increase was due to increased costs related to
our increased sale volumes when compared to the prior period ended September 30, 2020.
Gross
profit increased by approximately 172% to approximately $53.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to approximately
$19.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as a result of increased combined sales. Telehealth costs increased to 25%
of associated telehealth revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from 23% of associated telehealth revenues during
the nine months ended September 30, 2020. WorkSimpli costs decreased to 2% of associated WorkSimpli revenues during the nine months ended
September 30, 2021, from 5% of associated WorkSimpli revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. WorkSimpli revenues as
a percentage of total revenues increased to 27% during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, from 17% during the nine months ended
September 30, 2020. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 81% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 80% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase of 1% in gross profit was principally attributable to higher WorkSimpli revenues
as a percentage of total revenues, partially offset by lower telehealth revenues as a percentage of total revenues.

Net
cash used in operating activities was approximately $27.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared with approximately
$5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The significant factors contributing to the cash used in operations during
the nine months ended September 30, 2021, include the net loss of approximately $43.3 million (inclusive of approximately $8.0 million
in non-cash, stock-based compensation charges) further described above, partially offset by the Company’s increase in accounts
payable and accrued expenses of approximately $6.9 million and amortization of debt discount of $2.1 million.
Net
cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $1.8 million, as compared with net cash
used in investing activities of $731 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Net cash used in investing activities was
due to cash paid for capitalized software costs of approximately $1.7 million, the purchase of equipment of $70 thousand and the purchase
of an intangible asset of $22 thousand.
Net
cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $29.4 million as compared with approximately
$6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, financing activities consisted
of: (1) net proceeds of $14.9 million from the private placement whereby investors purchased (a) a senior secured redeemable debenture
in the aggregate principal amount of $15.0 million and (b) warrants to purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock at an exercise price of $12.00 per share, pursuant to the June 1, 2021 Purchase Agreement, (2) net proceeds of $13.5 million
from the private placement of 608,696 common shares, at a purchase price of $23.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $14.0 million
pursuant to the February 2021 Purchase Agreement, (3) net proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants during the period of approximately
$1.3 million, (4) net proceeds from the sale of common stock under the ATM Sales Agreement of approximately $0.5 million, in connection
with our filed shelf registration and launch of an at-the-market program on June 8, 2021, and (5) our entry into a merchant funding agreement
pursuant to which we may obtain cash advances. Subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2021, we closed on the October 4, 2021 Common
Stock and Preferred Stock Offerings whereby the Company received total net proceeds of $55.3 million. These increases in net cash from
financing activities were partially offset by the repayment of notes payable and the purchase of the additional membership interest of
WorkSimpli.
See
Notes 1, 5 and 6 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for further discussion of certain
of these financing activities.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources Outlook
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 sale volumes which
the Company has been successful in achieving to date. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the financing activities described
above for customer acquisition, as well as for working capital, general corporate purposes and to repay existing indebtedness. See Note
1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for further liquidity evaluation.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We
believe that the accounting policies below are critical for one to fully understand and evaluate our financial condition and results
of operations.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company records revenue under the adoption of ASC 606 by analyzing exchanges with its 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
35
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.
The
Company, through its majority-owned subsidiary WorkSimpli, 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 customer’s 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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company
has accrued contract liabilities, as deferred revenue, of approximately $1,436,000 and $917,000, respectively, which represent obligations
on in-process monthly or yearly contracts with customers.
Customer
discounts and allowances on WorkSimpli revenues approximated $377,000 and $275,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and
2020, respectively, and approximated $1,599,000 and $545,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Capitalized
Software Costs
The
Company capitalizes certain internal payroll costs and third-party costs related to internally developed software and amortizes these
costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, generally three years. The Company does not sell
internally developed software other than through the use of subscription service. Certain development costs not meeting the criteria
for capitalization, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 350-40 Internal-Use Software ,
are expensed as incurred. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company capitalized $2,169,644 and $438,136, respectively,
related to internally developed software costs which is amortized over the useful life and included in development costs on our statement
of operations.
Intangible
Assets
Intangible
assets are comprised of: (1) a customer relationship asset (with original cost of approximately $1,007,000) with an estimated useful
life of three years, (2) a purchased license (with original cost of $200,000) with an estimated useful life of ten years and (3) a purchased
domain name (with an original cost of $22,231) with an estimated useful life of three years. 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.
Income
Taxes
The
Company files corporate federal and state tax returns. Conversion Labs PR and WorkSimpli file tax returns in Puerto Rico, both are limited
liability companies and file separate tax returns with any tax liabilities or benefits passing through to its members.
36
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, 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 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 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. Due to limited history of forfeitures, the 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.
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.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition,
changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that
is material to stockholders.

3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As
a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item
4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under 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 chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation
and subject to the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
were not effective due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.
The
ineffectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses which 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.
Management’s
Plan to Remediate the Material Weakness
Management
has been implementing and continues to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weaknesses
are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and 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)
adoption
of a formal written related party transaction policy and 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 over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking
further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
Management’s
report on internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting
firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit a Smaller Reporting Company to provide only Management’s
report in this interim report, which may increase the risk that weaknesses or deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting
go undetected.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act)
during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.

PART
II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In
the ordinary course of our operations, we become involved in ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business. Material proceedings
are described under Note 8, “Commitments and Contingencies” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
An
investment in the Company’s common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors
included in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with
the SEC on March 30, 2021, in addition to other information contained in our reports and in this quarterly report in evaluating the Company
and its business before purchasing shares of our common stock. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to our
risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company’s business, operating
results and financial condition could be adversely affected due to any of those risks. In addition:
We
will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.
As
our business strategies develop, we must add additional managerial, operational, financial and other personnel. Future growth will impose
significant added responsibilities on members of management, including:
●
identifying,
recruiting, integrating, maintaining, and motivating additional personnel;
●
managing
our internal development efforts effectively, while complying with our contractual obligations to contractors and other third parties;
and
●
improving
our operational, financial, and management controls, reporting systems, and procedures.
Our
future financial performance will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively manage any future growth, and our management may also
have to divert a disproportionate amount of its attention away from day-to-day activities in order to devote a substantial amount of
time to managing these growth activities. This lack of long-term experience working together may adversely impact our senior management
team’s ability to effectively manage our business and growth.
We
currently rely, and for the foreseeable future will continue to rely, in substantial part on certain independent organizations, advisors,
and consultants to provide certain services. There can be no assurance that the services of these independent organizations, advisors,
and consultants will continue to be available to us on a timely basis when needed, or that we can find qualified replacements. In addition,
if we are unable to effectively manage our outsourced activities or if the quality or accuracy of the services provided by consultants
is compromised for any reason, we may not be able to advance our business. There can be no assurance that we will be able to manage our
existing consultants or find other competent outside contractors and consultants on economically reasonable terms, if at all. If we are
not able to effectively expand our organization by hiring new employees and expanding our groups of consultants and contractors, we may
not be able to successfully implement the tasks necessary to further develop our business initiatives and, accordingly, may not achieve
our research, development, and commercialization goals.
While
all filed securities class action lawsuits were voluntarily dismissed, there is potential to be subject to additional securities class
action lawsuits, which could require significant management time and attention and significant legal expenses and could result in an
unfavorable outcome, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
We
are subject to securities class action lawsuits, which may require significant management time and attention and significant legal expenses
and may result in an unfavorable outcome, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.
In
addition, there is the potential for additional future litigation, and we could be materially and adversely affected by such matters.
We
have insurance policies related to the risks associated with our business, including directors’ and officers’ liability insurance
policies. However, there is no assurance that our insurance coverage will be sufficient or that our insurance carriers will cover all
claims in any future litigation. If we are not successful in our defense of potential claims asserted in any future litigation and those
potential future claims are not covered by insurance or exceed our insurance coverage, we could have to pay damage awards, indemnify
our officers from damage awards that could be entered against them and pay the costs and expenses incurred in defense of, or in any settlement
of, such potential future claims.
39
We
may be subject to claims that we are engaged in the corporate practice of medicine or that our contractual arrangements with affiliated
physician groups constitute unlawful fee splitting.
We
have begun to contract with physician owned professional corporations or professional associations to facilitate the delivery of telehealth
services to their patients. We enter into management services agreements with these physician owned professional corporations pursuant
to which we provide them with a comprehensive set of non-clinical management and administrative services. The physician owned professional
corporations are solely responsible for practicing medicine and all clinical decision-making. These professional corporations will pay
us for our management services from the fees they will collect from patients and third-party payors. Our relationships with these physician
owned professional corporations are subject to various state laws that prohibit fee splitting or the practice of medicine by lay entities
or persons. Corporate practice of medicine laws and enforcement varies by state. In some states, decisions and activities such as contracting
with third party payors, setting rates and the hiring and management of non-clinical personnel may implicate the restrictions on the
corporate practice of medicine.
In
addition, corporate practice of medicine restrictions are subject to broad powers of interpretation and enforcement by state regulators.
Some of these requirements may apply to us even if we do not have a physical presence in a state, solely because we provide management
services to a provider licensed in the state or facilitate the provision of telehealth to a resident of the state. State medical practice
boards, other regulatory authorities, or other parties, including the physicians or other providers with whom we contract, may assert
that, despite these arrangements, we are engaged in the corporate practice of medicine or that our contractual arrangements with affiliated
physician groups constitute unlawful fee splitting. In this event, failure to comply could lead to adverse judicial or administrative
action against us and/or our providers, civil or criminal penalties, receipt of cease-and-desist orders from state regulators, loss of
provider licenses, the need to make changes to the terms of engagement with providers that interfere with our business and other materially
adverse consequences.
