NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

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%.

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

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.
