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, it 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%.

 

On January 18, 2022, the Company acquired Cleared Technologies, PBC, a Delaware public benefit corporation (“Cleared”), a rapidly growing nationwide allergy telehealth platform that provides personalized treatments for allergy, asthma, and immunology (See Note 3).

 

Nature of Business

 

The Company is a direct-to-patient telehealth technology company that provides a smarter, cost-effective, and convenient way for patients of its affiliated medical group 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 affiliated, 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 (“OTC”) 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 OTC products for male and female hair loss—including Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved OTC minoxidil and 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, RexMD, 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, NavaMD, 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 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 May 2019, Conversion Labs Rx, LLC (“CVLB Rx”), a Puerto Rico limited liability company, signed a strategic partnership agreement with Specialty Medical Drugstore, Inc. (doing business as “GoGoMeds”). GoGoMeds is a nationwide pharmacy licensed to dispense prescription medications directly to consumers in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. However, since its inception, CVLB Rx did not conduct any business and CVLB Rx was dissolved on August 7, 2020. Additionally, Conversion Labs Asia Limited (“Conversion Labs Asia”), a Hong Kong company, had no activity during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

 

On January 18, 2022, the Company acquired Cleared, a rapidly growing nationwide allergy telehealth platform that provides personalized treatments for allergy, asthma, and immunology. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired all outstanding shares of Cleared at closing in exchange for a $460,000 upfront cash payment, and two non-contingent milestone payments for total of $3.46 million ($1.73 million each on or before the first and second anniversaries of the closing date). The Company purchased a convertible note from a strategic pharmaceutical investor for $507,000 which was converted upon closing of the Cleared acquisition. The Company also agreed to a performance-based earnout based on Cleared’s future net sales, payable in cash or shares at the Company’s discretion (See Note 3).

 

In February 2022, WorkSimpli closed on an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “ResumeBuild APA”) with East Fusion FZCO, a Dubai, UAE corporation (the “Seller”), whereby WorkSimpli acquired substantially all of the assets associated with the Seller’s business, offering subscription-based resume building software through SaaS online platforms (the “Acquisition”). WorkSimpli paid to the Seller a purchase price $4,000,000. The Seller is also entitled to a minimum of $500,000 to be paid out in quarterly payments equal to the greater of 15% of net profits (as defined in the ResumeBuild APA) or $62,500, for a two-year period ending on the two-year anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition. WorkSimpli borrowed the purchase price from the Company pursuant to a promissory note with the obligation secured by an equity purchase guarantee agreement and a stock option pledge agreement from Fitzpatrick Consulting, LLC and its sole member Sean Fitzpatrick, who is Co-Founder and President of WorkSimpli (See Note 3).

 

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”), our recent acquisition, Cleared, a Delaware public benefit corporation and our majority-owned subsidiary, WorkSimpli. The affiliated network of medical Professional Corporations and medical Professional Associations administratively led by LifeMD Southern Patient Medical Care, P.C., is the Company’s affiliated, variable interest entity in which we hold a controlling financial interest (“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 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 affiliated medical providers on the LifeMD primary care platform gain instant access to comprehensive patient health records, therefore enabling best-in-class, personalized care through a deeper understanding of their patients’ medical histories.

  

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 is using 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 “June 1, 2021 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 June 1, 2021 Purchase Agreement. The Warrant has a term of three years, and the Debenture has a maturity date of three years. The Company received gross proceeds of $15.0 million. In October 2021, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the October 4, 2021 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, as amended (the “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 no shares of common stock sold under the ATM Sales Agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Under the 2021 Shelf, the Company has the ability to raise up to $150 million, of which $58.5 million was utilized as of June 30, 2022. The Company has approximately $59.5 million available under the ATM Sales Agreement and $32 million available under the 2021 Shelf as of June 30, 2022.

 

In September 2021, the Company entered into two underwriting agreements (the “Preferred Underwriting Agreement” and “the Common Underwriting Agreement”) with 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. The option was not exercised. 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 “October 4, 2021 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 second quarterly dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock was declared on March 25, 2022 to holders of record as of April 5, 2022 and was paid on April 15, 2022. The third quarterly dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock was declared on June 27, 2022 to holders of record as of July 5, 2022 and was paid on July 15, 2022. The dividends are included in the Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

 

Going Concern Evaluation

 

As of June 30, 2022, the Company has an accumulated deficit approximating $170 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 third quarter of 2022. To date, the Company has been funding operations primarily through the sale of equity in private placements and securities purchased by a financial institution. 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 $4.2 million as of the filing date. The Company reviewed its forecasted operating results and sources and uses of cash used in management’s assessment, which included the available financing and consideration of positive and negative evidence impacting management’s forecasts, market, and industry factors. The Company’s continuance as a going concern is highly dependent on its future profitability and on the on-going support of its shareholders, affiliates, and creditors. Based on these circumstances, management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

In order to mitigate the going concern issues, the Company has begun to implement strategies to strengthen revenues and improve operational efficiencies across the business and is significantly curtailing expenses. Additionally, the Company has $59.5 million available under the ATM Sales Agreement and $32 million available under the 2021 Shelf. Management believes that the overall market value of the telehealth industry is positive and that it will continue to drive interest in the Company.
