DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock. Under the Delaware law, we may declare and pay dividends on our capital stock either out of our surplus, as defined in the relevant Delaware statutes, or if there is no such surplus, out of our net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. If, however, the capital of our company, computed in accordance with the relevant Delaware statutes, has been diminished by depreciation in the value of our property, or by losses, or otherwise, to an amount less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets, we are prohibited from declaring and paying out of such net profits and dividends upon any shares of our capital stock until the deficiency in the amount of capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets shall have been repaired. The Company does not intend to declare or pay any cash dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive only such dividends (cash or otherwise) as may be declared by our Board of Directors.
On December 31, 2019, we issued 26,227 shares of its Series X Preferred stock in order to settle certain of the Company’s obligations. The Series X Preferred shares have a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share and will pay a 10% per year dividend based upon the liquidation value. The dividend may be paid in cash or in the issuance of restricted Common Stock. If the Company chooses to pay the dividend in restricted Common Stock the number of shares issued to fulfill the dividend payment shall be determined based on the stock price on the date the dividend award is made by the Board of Directors. The Series X has 400 votes per share and votes with our Common Stock. As of June 8, 2023, the outstanding Series X Preferred shares was 24,227.
Each share of Series C Preferred Stock accrues dividends on a quarterly basis in arrears, at the rate of 6% per annum of the Stated Value and to be paid within 15 days after the end of each of our fiscal quarters. The Series C Preferred Stock along with the Series D Preferred stock ranks senior to all other preferred stock of the Company except in relation to the Company’s Series X Preferred Stock, which ranks pari passu to the Series C Preferred Stock, with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company.

MANAGEMENT ’ S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with and is qualified in its entirety by and should be read together with our financial statements and the related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K. This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as described under the heading “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements .” Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
We are a holding company with current operating plans to participate in the healthcare industry through the development of healthcare services, and with a view toward additional services and technology that may find a ready market in the healthcare industry. During 2022 we continued on our plan to open primary care clinics around the United States in select markets, utilizing the experience, expertise, and training of licensed, advanced degreed nurse practitioners (“Nurse Practitioners”). In late 2022 we made a decision to discontinue our clinic businesses due to a lack of available capital required for their continued operation and growth.
We have always had a view toward additional healthcare technology and services offerings, and are committing more time to that effort going forward. We have a number of near term opportunities that we hope to pursue, assuming the capital markets make sufficient funding available at reasonable rates.
Our operations are subject to comprehensive federal, state, and local laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which it does business. There also continues to be a heightened level of review and/or audit by federal and state regulators of the health and related benefits industry’s business and reporting practices. As of the date of this Form 10-K, we are not subject to any actual or anticipated regulatory reviews or audits relating to our operations.
The laws and rules governing our businesses and interpretations of those laws and rules continue to evolve each year and are subject to frequent change. The application of these complex legal and regulatory requirements to the detailed operation of our businesses creates areas of uncertainty. Further, there are numerous proposed health care, financial services and other laws and regulations at the federal and state level some of which could adversely affect our businesses if they are enacted. We cannot predict whether pending or future federal or state legislation will have an adverse effect on our business.
We can give no assurance that its businesses, financial condition, operating results and/or cash flows will not be materially adversely affected, or that we will not be required to materially change its business practices, based on: (i) future enactment of new health care or other laws or regulations; (ii) the interpretation or application of existing laws or regulations, including the laws and regulations described in this Government Regulation section, as they may relate to one or more of our businesses, one or more of the industries in which we compete and/or the health care industry generally; (iii) our pending or future federal or state governmental investigations.
Reverse Stock Split
On December 12, 2022, our board of directors approved the filing of a certificate of amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to affect the one-for-fifty. The Amendment became effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on December 12, 2022.

Table of Contents
Pursuant to the Amendment, at the effective time of the Amendment, every fifty (50) shares of our issued and outstanding common stock was automatically combined into one (1) issued and outstanding share of common stock The Reverse Stock Split affected all shares of our common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Amendment. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders of record who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share received a full share thereof. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, proportionate adjustments were made to the per share exercise price and/or the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or vesting of all stock options and warrants issued by us and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Amendment, which resulted in a proportionate decrease in the number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise or vesting of such stock options and warrants and a proportionate increase in the exercise price of all such stock options and warrants. In addition, the number of shares reserved for issuance under our equity compensation plans immediately prior to the effective time of the Amendment were reduced proportionately. All share and per share amounts of common stock presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
Business Summary
We opened our first primary care clinic “The Good Clinic” in Northeast Minneapolis, Minnesota in February 2021, and added five additional operating clinics during 2022 for a total of six clinics open and operating at October 14, 2022 and three under construction (one in Wayzata, MN and two in Denver Colorado). In December of 2022 we decided to close the clinics due to a lack of available capital to fund their ongoing operation and growth.
We have always had a view toward additional healthcare technology and services offerings, and are committing more time to that effort going forward. We have a number of near term opportunities that we hope to pursue, assuming the capital markets make sufficient funding available at reasonable rates.

Partially offsetting the proceeds were principal payments on a note payable to a related party of was approximately $0.2 million.
We have made a strategic decision to reduce our capital needs by closing our clinic operations in the fourth quarter of 2022, and releasing a significant portion of our staff. As we redevelop our new strategy for lower cost operations, we hope to slowly open clinics, using the same staffing approach, but with a wider range of services for a broader portion of the population with healthcare needs.
As of the date of this filing:

Currently, we have the Eden Prairie, MN clinic. It is closed. If capital becomes available, we will work to reopen this facility.
If capital is available, we may reopen this location of The Good Clinic using a modified approach that emphasizes care for chronic illnesses and consumer direct services. We may explore the sale of the Good Clinic concept as well. The Company is refocusing its strategy on Mitesco’s original business focus of acquiring smaller health care technology companies that are at or approaching cashflow positive operations and can benefit from the expertise of the board and management, Mitesco’s access to public market capital, and the efficiency of purchasing services achievable within a holding company structure.
Our financial statements as presented in this filing reflect total liabilities of over $20 million, including certain reserves for potential liabilities related to ceased operations related largely to long term lease obligations and costs related to the construction of our facilities. A substantial amount of these liabilities may be reversed on negotiations, and it is our goal to settle the remaining amounts with non -cash consideration as noted above.
There can be no assurance that all of these vendors will be willing to settle their obligations with the Company on the proposed terms, or in amounts acceptable to the Company. We remain undercapitalized and until we have resolved most of these obligations it is unlikely that we will be able to attract sufficient capital on reasonable terms to execute our business strategy. We remain committed to resolution of these outstanding items in a fair and timely manner.
Critical Accounting Policies
We believe that the accounting policies described below are critical to understanding our business, results of operations and financial condition because they involve the use of more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and any changes in the assumptions used in making the accounting estimates that are likely to occur could materially impact our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new revenue recognition accounting standard issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and codified in the ASC as Topic 606 (“ASC 606”). The revenue recognition standard in ASC 606 outlines a single comprehensive model for recognizing revenue as performance obligations, defined in a contract with a customer as goods or services transferred to the customer in exchange for consideration, are satisfied. The standard also requires expanded disclosures regarding the Company’s revenue recognition policies and significant judgments employed in the determination of revenue.

The Company applied the modified retrospective approach to all contracts when adopting ASC 606. As a result, at the adoption of ASC 606 what was previously classified as the provision for bad debts in the statement of operations is now reflected as implicit price concessions (as defined in ASC 606) and therefore included as a reduction to net operating revenues in 2018. For changes in credit issues not assessed at the date of service, the Company will prospectively recognize those amounts in other operating expenses on the statement of operations. For periods prior to the adoption of ASC 606, the provision for bad debts has been presented consistent with the previous revenue recognition standards that required it to be presented separately as a component of net operating revenues.
Our revenues generally relate to net patient fees received from various payers and patients themselves under contracts in which our performance obligations are to provide services to the patients. Revenues are recorded during the period our obligations to provide services are satisfied. The contractual relationships with patients, in most cases, also involve a third-party payer (Medicare, Medicaid, managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies, including plans offered through the health insurance exchanges) and the transaction prices for the services provided are dependent upon the terms provided by (Medicare and Medicaid) or negotiated with (managed care health plans and commercial insurance companies) the third-party payers. The payment arrangements with third-party payers for the services we provide to the related patients typically specify payments at amounts less than our standard charges and generally provide for payments based upon predetermined rates for services or discounted fee-for-service rates. Management continually reviews the contractual estimation process to consider and incorporate updates to laws and regulations and the frequent changes in managed care contractual terms resulting from contract renegotiations and renewals.

Stock-Based Compensation
We recognize compensation costs to employees under FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Under FASB ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation cost for stock options are estimated at the grant date based on each option’s fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. Share-based compensation arrangements may include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.
Equity instruments issued to other than employees are recorded pursuant to the guidance contained in ASU 2018-07 (“ASU 2018-07”), Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplified the accounting for share-based payments granted to non-employees for goods and services. Under the ASU 2018-07, most of the guidance on such payments to non-employees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees.
Common Stock Purchase Warrants
The Company accounts for common stock purchase warrants in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”). As is consistent with its handling of stock compensation and embedded derivative instruments, the Company’s cost for stock warrants is estimated at the grant date based on each warrant’s fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model value method for valuing the impact of the expense associated with these warrants.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations. No deferred tax assets or liabilities were recognized as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we must estimate our actual current tax liabilities and assess temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the balance sheet. We must assess the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, a valuation allowance must be established. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase or decrease this allowance in a period, the impact will be included in income tax expense in the statement of operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed would be separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held-for-sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the consolidated balance sheet, if material.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are 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.
