PART I
Item 1. Business
Company Overview
OneMedNet is a global provider of clinical imaging innovation and curator of regulatory-grade Imaging Real-World Data or iRWDTM. OneMedNet’s innovative solutions connect healthcare providers and patients satisfying a crucial need within the Life Sciences field offering direct access to clinical images and the associated contextual patient record. OneMedNet’s innovative technology proved the commercial and regulatory viability of imaging Real-World Data, an emerging market, and provides regulatory-grade image-centric iRWDTM that exactly matches OMN’s Life Science partners Case Selection Protocols and paves the way for Real World Evidence.
OneMedNet was founded to solve a deficiency in how clinical images were shared between healthcare providers. This resulted in OMN’s initial product BEAMTM image exchange that enabled the successful sharing of images for more than a decade with OMN’s largest customer being the Country of Ireland.
OneMedNet continued to innovate by responding to the demand for and utilization of Real-World Data and Real-World Evidence, specifically data that focused on clinical images with its associated contextual clinical record. We were able to leverage internal technological competencies along with OneMedNet’s formidable healthcare provider installed base from its first product with BEAMTM to become the first RWD solution for Life Science companies with its launch of iRWDTM in 2019.
OneMedNet provides innovative solutions that unlock the significant value contained within clinical image archives. With a growing federated network of 95+ healthcare facilities, OneMedNet has the immediate ability to quickly search and extensively curate multi-layer data from a Federated group of healthcare facilities. The term “healthcare facilities” refers specifically to the hospitals, integrated delivery networks (“IDNs”) and imaging centers that provide imaging to OneMedNet, which represent the core source of our data. At present, OneMedNet works with more than 95 facilities who provide regulatory grade imaging to us. OneMedNet has access to these more than 95 facilities because these 95+ contracted facilities have more than 200 locations among them including offices and clinics, which in total generates regulatory grade imaging from more than 200 customers. Among these customers, all are data providers and some are data purchasers.
OneMedNet is ahead of the curve when it comes to providing fast and secure access to curated medical images. Initially, it was all about solving the diverse access needs of patient care providers. This focus systematically evolved to addressing the rapidly growing needs of image analysis and researchers, clinicians, regulators, scientists and more.
Real-world data is any data that is collected in the context of the routine delivery of care, in contrast to data collected within a clinical trial where study design controls variability in ways that are not representative of real-world care and outcomes.
A key component driving its mission is that OneMedNet believes we have a unique opportunity to affect a material positive impact on the lives of tens of millions of people while improving our customers’ business productivity. First and foremost, OneMedNet’s iRWDTM offering plays a significant role in enabling Life Science companies to bring safer and more effective patient care to market sooner. Using our highly curated de-identified clinical data in our iRWDTM offering in Life Science product development, validation, and regulatory approval processes, they contribute to patient care advancements in more meaningful ways. Moreover, Life Sciences improve their product development and validation processes, which benefits all parties.
Significant documentation exists that shows that Real-World Data can provide expanded insights across broader and more representative patient populations. For this reason, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) has instituted Real-World Data guidelines for regulatory approvals. Utilization of highly reliable and quality Real-World Data that strictly adheres to all of the very specific data stratification requirements can supplement or supplant clinical trials.
OneMedNet covers the complete value chain in imaging Real-World Data; it begins with our 10+ year federated network of providers and is supported by a multi-faceted data curation process managed by an expert in-house clinical team. Additionally, we work hand-in-hand with our Life Science partners regarding the Case Selection Protocol and when required producing Case Report Forms for regulatory clearance. We are focused on delivering value by supporting Life Science Advancements with OneMedNet’s iRWDTM which holds the key to unlocking boundless patient care advances. We unleash the power of research-grade image-centric iRWDTM that is highly curated to painstakingly meet every cohort requirement and stand up to all of the rigors of prospective clinical trials.
Today, life science companies, including pharmaceutical companies, artificial intelligence (AI) developers, medical device businesses, and clinical research organizations share the same widespread challenge in obtaining insight-rich, high-quality patient data that explicitly matches their precise cohort specifications. A substantial portion of patient diagnosis involves clinical imaging and approximately 90% of healthcare data, by size, is associated with imaging. Historically, much of imaging value has been derived from its initial review and further gains from the image archives have been very limited.
1 |
We help providers to “Unlock the Value in Imaging Archives”.TM By utilizing OneMedNet’s iRWDTM offering, providers can greatly improve their research efforts with streamlined data access. Health care providers such as hospitals, clinics, and imaging centers can also accelerate life science patient care innovations by sharing de-identified data in a well-defined and de-identified and secure manner. In return for doing so, income is generated and applied to critical and possibly unfunded provider projects.
The OneMedNet Difference
OneMedNet has been a leader in the business of extracting, securing, and transferring medical data for 12+ years. Doing so requires specialized expertise in:
● | Compliancy (HIPAA, GDPR, 21 Part11) | |
● | Advanced privacy & security measures | |
● | Clinical patient condition(s) and hospital processes | |
● | Radiology interpretation | |
● | AI/ML technology |
Attaining in-house expertise in all essential elements is quite a challenge and deters many organizations from even attempting such a venture. We take pride in this ambitious achievement – while continually working to maintain state-of-the-art expertise. OneMedNet strictly adheres to the highest level of professional and ethical standards and applicable regulations throughout all interactions and activities.
We believe there is a reason OneMedNet is the leader in an uncrowded field of regulatory-grade imaging RWD curators. Doing so requires specialized expertise in AI/ML technology, data privacy/security, as well as expertise in clinical patient condition(s) and healthcare record keeping. Having, or achieving, expertise in all essential disciplines is a challenging achievement. OneMedNet had a significant head start with our clinical image exchange solution which served to launch the Company nearly a decade ago. All data remains “native” within the federated OneMedNet iRWDTM provider network – meaning all the data remains locally onsite until specific de-identified data is licensed for a particular Life Science research opportunity.
OneMedNet’s Competitive Advantages
We believe that OneMedNet iRWDTM offers the best of advanced technology, clinical expert curation, and service. Medical imaging and associated clinical data is indexed at each network site using state-of-the-art AI/ML technology. This typically includes electronic health records (“EHR”), radiology, cardiology, lab, path and more. Our in-house clinical team performs intensive curation of the data ensuring that results meet the exact specification and requirements of Life Science Data Collection Protocol (“DCP”) – regardless of the complexity.
We believe that OneMedNet unlocks the value in imaging and electronic health records data in the following three principal ways:
● | Regulatory Grade — Our imaging results serve as proof of effectiveness for regulatory agencies, meeting requirements for quality & diversity; | |
● | On Demand — Our powerful indexing platform access and harmonizes complete patient profiles across fragmented data silos, delivering images and records on-demand; | |
● | Expertly Curated — We curate to the most stringent multi-level stratified requirements, providing unmatched data accuracy and completeness. |
2 |
OneMedNet’s data is fully de-identified using a multi-step quality control process and goes beyond PHI to include PII (personally identifiable information), SII (Site Identifiable Information), and more. Importantly, Life Science users receive the data in the exact format that they require. No data sifting or manipulation is needed. The data is simply ready for use. Moreover, OneMedNet has the unique combination of knowledge, tools, and experience to:
● | Access and harmonize complete patient profiles across fragmented data silos; | |
● | Provide unmatched data accuracy and completeness; | |
● | Ensure the security and privacy of patients’ Protected Health Information (PHI)Imaging RWD is our singular passion and focus and no one does it better. |
Finally, OneMedNet has the most experienced and clinically trained data curators in the industry. This team appreciates the complexity and criticality of clinical data and can effectively communicate with both Provider and Life Science specialists.
Industry Background
A 2016 analysis published in the Journal of Health Economics and authored by the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development placed the cost of bringing a drug to market, including post-approval research and development, at a staggering $2.87 billion. Meanwhile, a 2018 study from the Tufts Center noted that the timeline for new drug development ranged from 12.8 years for the average drug to 17.2 years for ultra-orphan drugs that only affect several hundred patients. This places the onus on life science organizations to find ways to deliver treatments to patients faster — especially those who cannot wait 17 years for a potentially life-saving treatment. Knowing how a medicinal product is actually used by patients can help stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem make important and potentially life-saving real-time decisions.
Real-World Data is observational data typically gathered when an approved medical product is on the market and used by “real” patients in real life, as opposed to clinical trials or real world images for real patients. The FDA cites several potential sources of Real-World Data, including electronic health records (“EHRs”), claims, disease and product registries, there are multiple types of data including structured and unstructured data, clinical and billing data, transactional and claims data, patient-generated data, and data gathered from additional sources that can shed light on a patient’s health status and more. As reliance on healthcare data grows exponentially, OneMedNet has observed that the reliance on information has increased coming from multiple additional sources including EHRs, claims, registries, clinical trials, patient and provider surveys, wearable devices and more. These additional sources include the internet of things (“IoT”), social media forums and blogs. Real-World Data has the potential to break down inefficiencies and fill gaps in information silos among stakeholders throughout the healthcare ecosystem of providers, payers, manufacturers, government entities and patients. This information sharing, in turn, enables all parties to derive new insights, support value-based care and deliver better health outcomes.
3 |
Commercializing a drug requires its developer to harness various sources of Real-World Data to identify patient populations and refine sales and marketing strategies for those populations among many other undertakings. Historically, this practice involved purchasing large amounts of data from data aggregators or data platforms, if not directly from the source itself, sometimes without much knowledge about the quality of the data. Preparing this data for analysis is both expensive and time-consuming thus many organizations would outsource the process to consultants or third-party vendors; moreover, the process of preparing this data for analysis by untrained consultants can yield a static analysis that is difficult to modify or rerun in response to follow-up questions or potential discrepancies.
Definitions of Real-World Data and Real-World Evidence
Real-World Data has become a powerful tool in the life sciences industry. After decades of relying on clinical data as the gold standard for decision making, industry leaders now recognize how data collected in the real world adds valuable context and insight to their efforts. From identifying unmet medical needs and defining the patient journey, to supporting regulatory submissions, proving value to payers, and shaping market strategies, Real-World Data adds value at every stage of the drug development lifecycle. Real-World Data also sets the foundation for Real World Evidence, and while the terms are often used interchangeably, they are distinct and they are changing health care. Here’s how it happens:
1. | First, Real-World Data are data relating to patient health status and/or the delivery of health care routinely collected from a variety of sources. Real-World Data is aggregated and transformed such as through OneMedNet’s robust analytics. Real-World Data are the data relating to patient health status and/or the delivery of health care routinely collected from a variety of sources. There are many different types, sources and uses of Real-World Data, for example: |
● | Clinical Data — For example, clinical data from EHRs and case report forms (“eCRF”) including biopsies and other Pathology tests, diagnostic imaging, social determinants of health, cancer organoids, that provide patient demographics, family history, comorbidities, procedure and treatment history, and outcomes. | |
● | Patient Generated Data — For example, patient-generated data from patient-reported outcome surveys, which data provide insights directly from the patient, and they help researchers understand what happens outside of clinic visits, procedures, and hospital stays. | |
● | Cost and Utilization Data (Qualitative Studies) — For example, cost and utilization data from claims and public datasets, which data provides information regarding healthcare services utilization, population coverage, and prescribing patterns. | |
● | Public Health Data — For example, public health data from various government data sources. These add critical information to enable stakeholders to best serve the needs of the populations they serve. |
The availability of medical imaging in Real-World Data such as that provided by OneMedNet is facilitated by the development of digital image analysis to increase the accuracy of diagnostics and conduct passive screening on large databases of medical images using artificial-intelligence (“AI”) algorithms such as those applied by OneMedNet. Algorithms can also help identify additional diagnostic tests of value from medical images with pathology.
Real-World Evidence is the clinical evidence regarding the usage and potential benefits or risks of a medical product derived from analysis of Real-World Data, as defined by the Food and Drug Administration. Real-World Evidence can be generated by different study designs or analyses, including but not limited to, randomized trials, including large simple trials, pragmatic trials, and observational studies (prospective and/or retrospective). The difference in Real World Evidence and Real World Data focuses on the end use case. Real World Data can take the form of claims, electronic health records, labs, data etc. Often this insight is used to better understand a patient’s journey or a natural history of a disorder (how does a disease progress if left untreated.)
4 |
Real World Evidence in contrast builds upon many of these data sets and prepares them for submission, as part of regulatory review such as to the Food and Drug Administration or the European Medicines Agency, for example, in support of a customer’s clinical trial application. When data and in particular imaging data is submitted to the FDA the agency requires the following:
● | Guard against biased — evidence must align with the patient population being study — expectations focus on the similar patient demographics, comorbidities, disease severity, etc.; | |
● | Traceability — confirm the chain of custody, the source of the data is known and can be validated if required; and | |
● | Go forward basis — regulatory agencies seek evidence that aligns with the trials timeframe and when possible collect evidence that mirrors the clinical trials timeline. |
One area where Real World Evidence has been relief on heavily relates to oncology approvals. Food and Drug Administration’s Oncology Center of Excellence actually presented an analysis of this at American Society of Clinical Oncology in 2021, looking at oncology applications containing Real-World Data and Real-World Evidence. That analysis looked at 94 applications that were submitted from 2011-2020 and showed that inclusion of Real-World Data to support regulatory decision-making has increased dramatically over that period. In 2020 alone, there were 28 submissions for oncology products that contained Real-World Data. Outside of the oncology context, probably the most notable recent example of an approval relying on Real World Evidence is the July 2021 approval of a new indication for Astellas’ drug Program (or tacrolimus) for the prevention of organ rejection in lung transplant patients. The approval there was based on a non-interventional study providing Real-World Evidence of effectiveness. FDA’s press release announcing the approval noted that the approval was “significant because it reflects how a well-designed, non-interventional study relying on fit-for-purpose real-world data, when compared to a suitable control, can be considered adequate and well-controlled under FDA regulations.”
An additional recent approval of note was the December 2021 approval of the supplemental BLA for Orencia to prevent graft versus host disease. The application included data from a randomized clinical trial, with additional evidence of effectiveness provided by a registry-based clinical study that was conducted using real-world data from the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research. And that registry study analyzed outcomes of 54 patients treated with Orencia for the prevention of graft versus host disease, in combination with standard immunosuppressive drugs, versus 162 patients treated with the standard immunosuppressive drugs alone, and showed efficacy in that indication.
AI is employed in Real-World Data to enhance data anomaly detection, standardization, and quality checking at the pre-processing stage. AI is expected to offer pharma and biotech companies the ability to increase meaningful Real World Evidence output, decrease time to insights, and make the most of the available vast data sources. A Real World Evidence technology platform that delivers smart data processing, analysis, and outcomes offers an unparalleled opportunity to capitalize on these computing advancements.
When used as part of an overall comprehensive Real World Evidence strategy, AI innovations can enhance drug development, improve patient treatment and access, and drive valuable new business opportunities.
In post-marketing studies, adverse events reporting is an area where AI is used, creating greater automation and efficiency in historical data sets. Techniques like natural language processing (“NLP”) enable AI to scan tens of thousands of records and quickly find adverse event details. AI integrated analytics and automation provide access to crucial insights from historical clinical trial Real-World Data and Real World Evidence, expanding end-to-end clinical trial capabilities:
● | Data ingestion — publicly/historical available Real-World Data | |
● | Text extraction — NLP used to extract key entities from clinical trial documents | |
● | Data transformation & standardization — data standardization using pre-built models | |
● | AI model deployment — predicting trial design impacts on costs, feasibility, cycle times, and quality risk |
AI is driving ground-breaking leaps in protein structure identification, and advances in regulations are providing healthcare research organizations with access to real-world data to accelerate clinical trial processes. We believe that AI-enabled technologies have unparalleled potential to offer innovative trial design and collection, organizing, and analyzing the increasing amount of data generated by clinical trials. AI has many applications in clinical trials, both short and long-term. AI technologies make possible innovations crucial for transforming clinical trials, such as seamlessly combining Phases I and II, developing novel patient-centered endpoints, and collecting and analyzing Real-World Data.
OneMedNet believes that AI tools also have wider benefits for hospitals and health systems. Professor Alexander Wong, University of Waterloo Canada Research Chair in AI and Medical Imaging, points out that AI benefits include the potential to ease the burden on radiology departments in terms of assessing scans and predicting upcoming demand for general hospital and intensive care beds, and demand for equipment such as respirators and ventilators, medicines, masks, and ventilator mouthpieces, as well as aiding workforce planning.

Across a diverse set of imaging modalities, digital images typically include metadata and/or annotations that may include protected health information (e.g., patient name, date of birth). Although diagnostic images generally do not warrant the same level of privacy concerns as genomic data, researchers must also remove facial characteristics or other features that could identify a patient.
Digital image analysis can be used to support research and development by analyzing large volumes of tissue specimens or other medical images to run molecular screens that model biomarkers and treatment responses by transplanting a portion of a patient’s tumor into humanized mice or 3D tissue cultures derived from stem cells that resemble miniature organs. These models allow researchers to conduct controlled laboratory experiments that can inform treatment approaches and link predicted treatment response to actual clinical outcomes by linking this data to EHR, claims, and other sources of Real-World Data. Similarly, preclinical studies can be informed by safety assessments conducted in animal models or studies of animal molecular biomarkers or anatomic abnormalities to minimize the burden on human study participants. Findings can also inform clinical trial optimization by stratifying participants according to predicted response and determining appropriate eligibility criteria.
2. | Second, Real-World Evidence is the clinical evidence about the usage and potential benefits or risks of a medical product derived from analysis of Real-World Data. Real World Evidence provides clinically-rich insights into what actually happens in everyday practice and why. The FD&C Act defines Real-World Evidence as “data regarding the usage, or the potential benefits or risks, of a drug derived from sources other than traditional clinical trials.” In developing its Real-World Evidence program, FDA believes it is helpful to distinguish between the sources of Real-World Data and the evidence derived from that data. |
Evaluating Real-World Evidence in the context of regulatory decision-making depends not only on the evaluation of the methodologies used to generate the evidence but also on the reliability and relevance of the underlying Real-World Data; these constructs may raise different types of considerations. Real-World Evidence refers to evidence about the risks and benefits of a product derived from analysis of the Real-World Data. For example, the FDA has used Real-World Data and Real-World Evidence, derived from its Sentinel system for monitoring the safety of regulated products, in place of post-marketing studies. It has carried this out for nine potential safety issues involving five products.
Real-World Evidence is the clinical evidence regarding the usage and potential benefits or risks of a medical product derived from analysis of Real-World Data. Real World Evidence can be generated by different study designs or analysis, including but not limited to, randomized trials, including large simple trials, pragmatic trials, and observational studies (prospective and/or retrospective).
Unlike traditional clinical trials, where necessary data elements can be curated and collection mandated, the creation of Real World Evidence requires assessing, validating and aggregating various, often disparate, sources of data available through routine clinical practice. Real-world evidence is used by different stakeholders in many different ways.
● | It gives life sciences companies insight into how their drugs are being used. | |
● | It helps providers improve the delivery of care. | |
● | It enables regulatory authorities to monitor post-market safety and adverse events. | |
● | It helps payers assess outcomes from treatments. |
From Real-World Data to Real World Evidence
The creation of Real World Evidence requires a combination of high-powered analytics, a validated approach and a robust knowledge of available Real-World Data sources (e.g., what data is captured within existing quality registries, what data can be captured through electronic health records and case report forms or claims, which patient organizations capture data on relevant patient cohorts). This process includes several steps, which are summarized here:
1. | Defining a study protocol answering relevant clinical questions. | |
2. | Defining which data elements can be collected from which Real-World Data sources. | |
3. | Establishing data capture arrangements and protocols with existing Real-World Data sources. | |
4. | Blending disparate data sources through probabilistic record matching algorithms. | |
5. | Validating and supplementing blended data through editable eCRFs. | |
6. | Defining and calculating clinically relevant outcomes and measures. | |
7. | Appropriately assessing and controlling for variability in data quality, availability and confounding patient factors affecting measured outcomes. | |
8. | Real World Evidence can provide a holistic view of patients that in many cases cannot be studied through traditional clinical trials. |
Real World Evidence has been proven to fill a gap between research (what we learn) and everyday practice (what we do) in healthcare, and it creates a difference between what is expected to happen and what really happens. Driving measurable improvements in healthcare requires us all to be rooted in the reality of what actually happens before, during, and after clinical procedures, interventions, and office visits. Real World Evidence fill those gaps and documents the truth by establishing definitively what really happens when doctors treat a wide range of patients that do not look like the homogeneous patient groups in a clinical trial. Because of this, Real World Evidence serves many uses and provides many benefits across the healthcare ecosystem.

As more countries battle to contain healthcare costs, and as the population ages and the number of patients with chronic diseases increases, the need to remove inefficiencies and upgrade the delivery of coordinated care that improves outcomes is more pressing. At the same time, life sciences companies are facing tumultuous times. Industry globalization, the end of the blockbuster era, and an increasingly complex regulatory environment all add to the difficulty of bringing products to market. And across the board, companies are moving toward a patient-centric and outcome-focused model. In this environment, Real World Evidence can be transformative for the industry when Real-World Data is combined with the right technology framework and the regulatory intelligence to make sense of it. As data is consumed across life sciences in different ways and by different stakeholders, it can provide valuable insights and “evidence” across the product life cycle. In addition, stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem use this new knowledge to support decision-making and improve safety and effectiveness, and ultimately, patient outcomes.
Uses of Real World Evidence in Life Sciences, Among Regulators, Clinicians, Researchers and Healthcare Systems
According to repeated studies by Deloitte, the importance of Real World Evidence continues to rise as it promises to accelerate regulatory decision-making and support the approval of new indications for drugs already on the market. Life Sciences, pharmaceutical and medical device companies are significant consumers of Real World Evidence because it can provide value across the entire product lifecycle from pre-trial design to clinical studies and trials to post-market surveillance. Medical product developers are using Real World Evidence to support clinical trial designs (e.g., large simple trials, pragmatic clinical trials) and observational studies to generate innovative, new treatment approaches.
Real World Evidence can be used to make clinical trials more effective and efficient, for example in patient recruitment or label extension, Real World Evidence gathered from other studies or from currently marketed products in a similar category, for example, can have a positive effect on the product portfolio by exposing positive side effects as new potential indications. The most famous example is Viagra, which was initially studied as a drug to lower blood pressure, but an unexpected side effect led to the drug ultimately being approved for erectile dysfunction.
The benefits of Real World Evidence derived from Real-World Data are increasingly being recognized by regulatory authorities. The FDA released a framework for using Real World Evidence to support the process of drug regulation and submission. This is a major step toward recognizing that clinical trials, while still relevant, are not the only way to assess the efficacy and safety of a product. Indeed, the FDA is soon expected to conduct its first full post-market safety approval using only Real World Evidence.
Real World Evidence is now accepted as a reliable source of information for regulatory decision making in certain circumstances. A primary rationale for the FDA to use Real World Evidence E is to help support the approval of a new or extended use for a drug approved under the FD&C Act and to help support or satisfy post-approval study requirements always with the condition that the data quality is up to the standard required. In a recent statement, the FDA even noted how new tools for capturing data in the post-market period, including more sophisticated use of Real-World Data and Real-World Evidence are providing new approaches to address important questions about the safety and benefits of new drugs in real world settings and that these approaches have the potential to do to so more rapidly and with greater efficiency than traditional methods.
Why Do We Need Real-World Evidence?
There is a gap between research (what we learn) and everyday practice (what we do) in healthcare, and it creates a difference between what is expected to happen and what really happens. But it is what really happens that matters. Driving measurable improvements in healthcare requires us all to be rooted in the reality of what actually happens before, during, and after clinical procedures, interventions, and office visits. Real-World Evidence is here to fill those gaps and root us in truth. It tells us what really happens when doctors treat a wide range of patients that don’t look like the homogeneous patient groups in a clinical trial. Because of this, Real-World Evidence serves many uses and provides many benefits across the healthcare ecosystem.
Uses of Real-World Evidence in Pharmaceutical and Device Companies
Pharmaceutical and medical device companies are major consumers of Real-World Evidence, as it can provide value across the entire product lifecycle. Real-World Evidence plays an important role for research across the product lifecycle for both pharmaceutical and device companies. It can inform pre-trial study design by helping researchers identify potential patients and create proper inclusion criteria for clinical trials. Much of medical innovation is driven by traditional clinical trials, where new pharmaceuticals and devices are rigorously studied and tracked before they can be sold and widely distributed.
Although clinical trials are incredibly important to determine the safety and efficacy of new technologies, when compared to real-world evidence they do have some limitations. For example, traditional clinical trials can have strict inclusion criteria that makes it challenging for providers to accurately extrapolate the results of a clinical trial to a broader population. Clinical trial participation is often limited by who the study administrators are able to recruit, and various demographics are often not able to participate. This again challenges the generalizability of clinical trial results across patient populations. Real-world evidence can help overcome the limitations of clinical trials by providing information about a broader cross-section of society. This can help clinicians, researchers, and industry partners better understand their products and how they work.

Once a product is approved and marketed, Real-World Evidence assists pharmaceutical or medical device company understand their products’ relative safety, effectiveness, value, off-label use and more. This post-market surveillance, or post-marketing surveillance, is valuable to stakeholders across the healthcare industry.
The AI-enabled patient enrichment and recruitment process can improve suitable cohorts and increase clinical trial effectiveness, data management, analysis, and interpretation of multiple Real-World Data sources, including EHRs and medical imaging data. This presents a unique opportunity for NLP to perform the sophisticated analysis necessary to combine genomic data with electronic medical records (“EMRs”) and other patient data, present in various locations, owners, and formats — from handwritten paper copies to digital medical images — to surface biomarkers that lead to endpoints that can be more efficiently measured, and thereby identify and characterize appropriate patient subpopulations. AI-enabled systems can help to improve patient cohort composition and aid with patient recruitment.
AI technologies can help biopharma companies identify target locations, qualified investigators, and priority candidates and collect and collate evidence to satisfy regulators that the trial process complies with good clinical practice (“GMP”) requirements. One of the most important elements of a clinical trial is a selection of high-functioning investigator sites. Site qualities such as resource availability, administrative procedures, and experienced clinicians with in-depth knowledge and understanding of the disease can shape study timelines and data quality, accuracy, completeness, and consistency.
AI integrated clinical trial programs can help monitor and manage patients by automating real-world data capture, sharing data across systems, and digitalizing standard clinical assessments. AI technologies and wearable technologies can help enable continuous patient monitoring and generate real-time insights into the safety and effectiveness of treatment while predicting the possible risk of dropouts, thereby enhancing patient engagement and retention. To comply with trial adherence criteria, patients must keep detailed records of their medication intake and other data points related to their bodily functions, response to medication, and daily protocols. This can be an overwhelming and tedious task, leading to 40% of patients becoming non-adherent after 150 days into a clinical trial. Wearable devices/sensors and video monitoring are used to collect patient data automatically and continuously, thereby relieving the patient of this task. In combination with wearable technology, AI techniques offer new approaches to developing real-time, power-efficient, mobile, and personalized patient monitoring systems.
Among regulators, clinicians, academic researchers and healthcare systems, the reliance on curated Real World Evidence has grown significantly because of the value it can provide, which is unique relative to each parties’ objectives and mandates. It also helps that the FDA has also sharpened its focus on Real-World Data and Real World Evidence. For example, late last year, the FDA published proposed guidance related to data standards for product submissions with Real-World Data and also weighed in on the use of Real-World Data and Real World Evidence to support regulatory decision-making for drugs and biological products with specific advice for data from electronic health records and medical claims. In addition, the FDA uses Real-World Data and Real World Evidence to monitor post-market safety and adverse events and to make regulatory decisions. The health care community is using these data to support coverage decisions and to develop guidelines and decision support tools for use in clinical practice.
AI with deep-learning capability is also helpful in organizing and translating a vast amount of structured and unstructured data to RWE. The human mind can possibly manage 4-5 variables, therefore, AI-enabled data mapping and integration and their normalization into a common data model according to disease pathway and workflow will likely be useful for both quality management in clinical trials and generating meaningful insight for human disease by providing a broader perspective based on real-world data.

Our workforce is comprised of approximately 20 employees (as of December 31, 2023), including approximately 0 part-time employees (references herein to “employees” include to the employees of our subsidiaries). Our Board of Directors and its committees oversee human capital matters through regular reporting from management and advisors.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
We are committed to fostering a culture of inclusion that embraces and supports our patients, colleagues, partners, physicians and communities. Our policies prohibit discrimination on the basis of age, gender, disability, race, color, ancestry, citizenship, religion, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, medical condition, marital status, veteran status, payment source or ability, or any other basis prohibited by federal, state or local law.
Compensation and Benefits
We provide competitive compensation and benefits programs to help meet the needs of our employees. In addition to salaries, these programs (which vary by location) include a 2024 Stock Option Plan, a 401(k) Plan, health care and insurance benefits, health savings and flexible spending accounts, paid time off, family leave, family care resources, flexible work schedules, employee assistance programs, tuition and student loan assistance and on-site services, such as cafeterias and fitness centers, among many others.
Facilities
Prior to the closing of the Business Combination, the Company’s executive offices were located at Unit G6, Frome Business Park, Manor Road, Frome, United Kingdom, BA11 4FN and its telephone number was +44 203 833 4000. The Company agreed to pay ARC Group Ltd., an affiliate of the Sponsor, up to an amount of $10,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative support. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we had incurred $60,000 in fees under this agreement, respectively. Upon completion of our Business Combination, the Company ceased paying these monthly fees.
After the closing of the Business Combination, our headquarters is located at 6385 Old Shady Oak Road, Suite 250, Eden Prairie, MN 55344 and our telephone number is (800) 918-7189, where we lease and occupy our office space with an aggregate floor area of approximately 67 square feet from unrelated third parties under operating lease agreements. We believe the current office space is adequate for our current operations and are adequate for our anticipated future needs.
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
As a company with less than $1.235 billion in revenues during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) enacted in 2012. As an emerging growth company, we expect to take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:
● | being permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements, in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements, with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure in this prospectus; | |
● | not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”); | |
● | reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; and | |
● | exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. |
Item 1A. Risk Factors
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. This prospectus contains a discussion of the risks applicable to an investment in our securities. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations. The occurrence of any of these known or unknown risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities. We may not be successful in preventing the material adverse effects that any of the following risks and uncertainties may cause. You could lose all or a significant portion of your investment due to any of these risks and uncertainties.
You should carefully consider the following risks, as well as the other information contained in this prospectus, including our historical financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus before you decide to purchase our securities. Any one of these risks and uncertainties has the potential to cause material adverse effects on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results which could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements expressed by us and a significant decrease in the value of our Common Stock shares and warrants. Refer to “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Risks Related to this Offering and Our Common Stock
Our stock price may be volatile, and purchasers of our Common Stock could incur substantial losses.
The stock market in general has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to operating performance of individual companies, particularly following a public offering of a company with a small public float. There is the potential for rapid and substantial price volatility of our Common Stock following this offering. These broad market factors may seriously harm the market price of our Common Stock, regardless of our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, which may make it difficult for investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Common Stock.

We are currently listed on The Nasdaq Global Market. If we are unable to maintain listing of our securities on Nasdaq or any stock exchange, our stock price could be adversely affected and the liquidity of our stock and our ability to obtain financing could be impaired and it may be more difficult for our stockholders to sell their securities.
Although our Common Stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Global Market, we may not be able to continue to meet the exchange’s minimum listing requirements or those of any other national exchange. If we are unable to maintain listing on Nasdaq or if a liquid market for our Common Stock does not develop or is sustained, our Common Stock may remain thinly traded.
As previously reported on Form 8-K on February 9, 2024, the Company received written notice (the “Nasdaq Notice”), dated February 7, 2024, from Nasdaq indicating that for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, the market value of the Company’s listed securities (“MVLS”) did not maintain a minimum market value of $50,000,000 (the “Minimum MVLS Requirement”) as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company has a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until August 5, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum MVLS Requirement. Compliance may be achieved if the Company’s MVLS closes at $50,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time during the 180-day compliance period, in which case Nasdaq will notify the Company of its compliance and the matter will be closed.
If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum MVLS Requirement by August 5, 2024, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its common stock is subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the relevant delisting determination to a hearings panel pursuant to the procedures set forth in the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, there can be no assurance, if the Company does appeal the delisting determination by Nasdaq to the hearings panel, that such appeal would be successful. In such event, the Company may also seek to apply for a transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market if it meets the requirements for continued listing thereon.
The Nasdaq Notice received have no immediate effect on the Company’s continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market or the trading of Company’s common stock, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other continued listing requirements. The Company is presently evaluating potential actions to regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in maintaining the listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market.
The listing rules of Nasdaq require listing issuers to comply with certain standards in order to remain listed on its exchange. If, for any reason, we should fail to maintain compliance with these listing standards and Nasdaq should delist our securities from trading on its exchange and we are unable to obtain listing on another national securities exchange, a reduction in some or all of the following may occur, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our stockholders:
● | the liquidity of our Common Stock; | |
● | the market price of our Common Stock; | |
● | our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations; | |
● | the number of institutional and general investors that will consider investing in our Common Stock; | |
● | the number of investors in general that will consider investing in our Common Stock; | |
● | the number of market makers in our Common Stock; | |
● | the availability of information concerning the trading prices and volume of our Common Stock; and | |
● | the number of broker-dealers willing to execute trades in shares of our Common Stock. |
Our principal stockholders will continue to have significant influence over the election of our board of directors and approval of any significant corporate actions, including any sale of the Company.
Our founders, executive officers, directors, and other principal stockholders, in the aggregate, beneficially own a majority of our outstanding stock. These stockholders currently have, and likely will continue to have, significant influence with respect to the election of our board of directors and approval or disapproval of all significant corporate actions. The concentrated voting power of these stockholders could have the effect of delaying or preventing an acquisition of the Company or another significant corporate transaction.
We could be subject to securities class action litigation.
In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against companies following a decline in the market price of their securities. In 2020, 22% of securities class action litigation filings were against defendants in the health technology and services sector, which accounted for 22% of new filings. If we face such litigation, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could harm our business.
16 |
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the market price for the shares and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our Common Stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If research analysts do not establish and maintain adequate research coverage or if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our Common Stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the market price for our Common Stock would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which, in turn, could cause the market price or trading volume for our common stock to decline.
We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, and you must rely on price appreciation of your shares of Common Stock for return on your investment.
We have paid no cash dividends on any class of our stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the near term. For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our stock. Accordingly, investors must be prepared to rely on sales of their shares after price appreciation to earn an investment return, which may never occur. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our shares. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board deems relevant.
Future sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, either by us or by our existing stockholders, or the possibility that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.
Future sales in the public market of shares of our Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, shares held by our existing stockholders or shares issued upon exercise of our outstanding stock options or warrants, or the perception by the market that these sales could occur, could lower the market price of our Common Stock or make it difficult for us to raise additional capital.
We are an “emerging growth company,” and the reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies may make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“the JOBS Act”). For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of our initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of our prior second fiscal quarter, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.
In addition, under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies may delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We may elect not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, may be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our share price may be more volatile.
Anti-takeover provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.
Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions which could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by our board of directors. Our corporate governance documents include provisions:
● | authorizing “blank check” preferred stock, which could be issued by our board of directors without stockholder approval and may contain voting, liquidation, dividend, and other rights superior to our common stock; | |
● | limiting the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers; | |
● | limiting the ability of our stockholders to call and bring business before special meetings; | |
● | requiring advance notice of stockholder proposals for business to be conducted at meetings of our stockholders and for nominations of candidates for election to our board of directors; | |
● | controlling the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of board of directors and stockholder meetings; and | |
● | providing our board of directors with the express power to postpone previously scheduled annual meetings and to cancel previously scheduled special meetings. |
17 |
These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in our management. As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation law, which prevents some stockholders holding more than 15% of our outstanding common stock from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of the holders of substantially all of our outstanding common stock.
Any provision of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our Common Stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our Common Stock.
Our Business Risks
We have a history of operating losses and may never achieve profitability in the future.
We have experienced net losses in each annual period since inception. We generated net losses of $23.2 million and $6.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, we had accumulated losses of approximately $55.1 million.
We expect to continue to incur significant losses in the development, marketing, sale and delivery of our services. If we do not grow our revenues or if we lose existing customers, we expect to continue to incur losses from operations for the foreseeable future. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development, marketing, sale and delivery of our imaging real world data (“iRWDTM”) services, we may experience larger than expected future losses and may never become profitable. Moreover, there is a substantial risk that we may not be able to successfully commercialize our iRWDTM services, which would make it unlikely that we would ever achieving profitability.
OneMedNet believes it has demonstrated its quality and responsiveness in clinical imaging and curation of Real-World Data based upon success in compiling one of the largest networks of imaging centers (comprised of hospitals, imaging centers and clinics) throughout the United States covering more than 15 million patients to date. On the global front, OneMedNet works with hospitals and life science companies around the world including Ireland, United Kingdom, Ghana, Denmark and South Korea and growing. We base these claims on our understanding of our competition in the United States and globally. However, if we were to lose these relationships with our network of imaging centers or lose our customers or our competitors’ technology surpasses ours, our competitors could claim a greater market share domestically or abroad, which could reduce our growth and our profits, which could harm our business, financial position, results of operations and prospects.
Two significant customers represented 53% and 52% of our revenues for 2022 and 2023 respectively, and is expected to continue to represent a significant portion of our forecasted revenue for 2024.
Change Healthcare and Siemens Medical Solutions USA, collectively represented 53% and 52% of our revenues in 2023 and 2022, respectively. Change Healthcare is expected to continue to represent a significant portion of our forecasted revenue for 2024. If we fail to maintain and grow our relationships with Change Healthcare, we could lose a significant portion of our revenue for 2023, which would materially adversely affect our results of operations and our business. If OneMedNet were to lose one or more of its significant customers, its revenue may significantly decline. In addition, revenue from significant customers may vary from period to period depending on the timing of renewing existing agreements or entering into new agreements for additional OneMedNet products as well as other unforeseen risks and variables discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus. The loss of one or more of OneMedNet’s significant customers could adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition. You should not rely on our historical relationship with these companies as an indication of our future performance.
We may encounter difficulties in managing our attempted growth of our business, which could negatively impact our operations.
As we expand, market, sell and deliver our service offerings, we anticipate that we will need to increase our service development, sales and marketing and administrative headcount. Such an evolution may impact our strategic focus and our deployment and allocation of resources. Our ability to manage our operations and growth effectively depends upon the continual improvement of our procedures, reporting systems and operational, financial and management controls. We may not be able to implement administrative and operational improvements in an efficient or timely manner and may discover deficiencies in existing systems and controls. If we do not meet these challenges, we may be unable to execute our business strategies and may be forced to expend more resources than anticipated addressing these issues.
We may acquire additional technology and complementary businesses in the future. Acquisitions involve many risks, any of which could materially harm our business, including the diversion of management’s attention from core business concerns, failure to effectively exploit acquired technologies, failure to successfully integrate the acquired business or realize expected synergies or the loss of key employees from either our business or the acquired businesses.
18 |
We may be unable to execute our business objectives and growth strategies successfully or sustain our growth and, as a result, this could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
The highly complex nature of our industry requires that we effectively execute and manage our business objectives and growth strategies, such as expanding our marketing and commercialization of our services in the U.S. and internationally, adding new customers, and increasing our service delivery capacity. However, we may not be able to execute on these strategies as effectively as anticipated. Our ability to execute on these strategies depends on a number of factors, including, without limitation:
● | our ability to obtain adequate capital resources to complete execute our growth plans; | |
● | our ability to hire, train and retain skilled managers and personnel, including quality and production personnel, and marketing and commercial specialists; | |
● | our ability to protect our existing and new services by registering and defending our intellectual property rights; and | |
● | our ability to successfully add new customers. |
To the extent we are unable to execute on our growth strategies in accordance with our expectations, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and future results of operations.
The real-world data and real-world evidence business market continues to evolve, is highly competitive, and we may not be successful in competing in this industry or establishing and maintaining confidence in our long-term business prospects among current and future partners and customers.
The real-world data and real-world evidence business market in which we compete continues to evolve and is highly competitive. To date, we have focused our efforts on its expertise in clinical imaging innovation solutions that connects healthcare providers and patients and satisfies a crucial need with the life sciences. We offer direct access to clinical images and associated contextual patient record. OneMedNet proved the commercial and regulatory viability of imaging Regulatory Grade Real-World Data (“iRWDTM”), a promising emerging market, that exactly matches OneMedNet’s life science partners’ case selection protocol. OneMedNet has the immediate ability to quickly search and extensively curate multi-layer data from a federated group of healthcare facilities and to provide fast access to curated medical images that has proved the commercial and regulatory viability of imaging RWD and covers the complete value chain in imaging RWD, validated by an increasing federated network of providers. However, real-world data and real-world evidence has been increasingly adopted and our current competitors have, and future competitors may have, greater resources than we do and may also be able to devote greater resources to the development of their current and future technologies. These competitors also may have greater access to customers and may be able to establish cooperative or strategic relationships amongst themselves or with third parties that may further enhance their resources and competitive positioning.
Developments in improvements in real-world data and real-world evidence curation by competitors may materially adversely affect the sales, pricing and gross margins of our business. If a competing technology or process is developed that has superior operational or price performance, our business will be harmed. Similarly, if we fail to accurately predict and ensure that our real-world data and real-world evidence offering can address customers’ changing needs or emerging technological trends, or if our customers fail to achieve the benefits expected from our real-world data and real-world evidence offering, our business will be harmed.
We must continue to commit resources to develop our real-world data and real-world evidence technology in order to establish a competitive position, and these commitments will be made without knowing whether such investments will result in products potential customers will accept. There is no assurance we will successfully identify new customer requirements, develop and bring our real-world data and real-world evidence to market on a timely basis, or that products and technologies developed by others will not render our real-world data and real-world evidence obsolete or noncompetitive, any of which would adversely affect our business and operating results.
If we are unable to attract and retain key employees and qualified personnel, our ability to compete could be harmed.
We depend on the talents and continued efforts of our senior management and key employees. The loss of members of our management or key employees may disrupt our business and harm our results of operations. Further, our ability to manage further expansion will require us to continue to attract, motivate and retain additional qualified personnel. Competition for this type of personnel is intense, and we may not be successful in attracting, integrating and retaining the personnel required to grow and operate our business effectively. There can be no assurance that our current management team or any new members of our management team will be able to successfully execute our business and operating strategies.
Our operations could be damaged or adversely affected as a result of natural disasters and other catastrophic events.
Our operations could be adversely affected by events outside of our control, such as natural disasters, wars, health epidemics such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and other calamities. We cannot assure you that any backup systems will be adequate to protect us from the effects of fire, floods, typhoons, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins, war, riots, terrorist attacks or similar events. Any of the foregoing events may give rise to interruptions, breakdowns, system failures, technology platform failures or internet failures, which could cause the loss or corruption of data or malfunctions of software or hardware as well as adversely affect our ability to provide services.
19 |
Any financial or economic crisis, or perceived threat of such a crisis, including a significant decrease in consumer confidence, may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
In recent years, the United States and global economies suffered dramatic downturns as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a deterioration in the credit markets and related financial crisis as well as a variety of other factors including, among other things, extreme volatility in security prices, severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, ratings downgrades of certain investments and declining valuations of others. The United States and certain foreign governments have taken unprecedented actions in an attempt to address and rectify these extreme market and economic conditions by providing liquidity and stability to the financial markets. If the actions taken by these governments are not successful, the return of adverse economic conditions may negatively impact the demand for iRWDTM offering and may negatively impact our ability to raise capital, if needed, on a timely basis and on acceptable terms or at all.
Our ability to utilize our net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.
In general, under Section 382 of the Code, a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to limitations on its ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”), to offset future taxable income. The limitations apply if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” which is generally defined as a greater than 50 percentage point change (by value) in its equity ownership by certain stockholders over a three-year period. If we have experienced an ownership change at any time since our incorporation, we may already be subject to limitations on our ability to utilize our existing NOLs and other tax attributes to offset taxable income or tax liability. In addition, the Business Combination and future changes in our stock ownership, which may be outside of our control, may trigger an ownership change. Similar provisions of state tax law may also apply to limit our use of accumulated state tax attributes. As a result, even if we earn net taxable income in the future, our ability to use these or our pre-change NOL carryforwards and other tax attributes to offset such taxable income or tax liability may be subject to limitations, which could potentially result in increased future income tax liability to us.
There is also a risk that changes in law or regulatory changes made in response to the need for some jurisdictions to raise additional revenue to help counter the fiscal impact from unforeseen reasons, including suspensions on the use of net operating losses or tax credits, possibly with retroactive effect, may result in our existing net operating losses or tax credits expiring or otherwise being unavailable to offset future income tax liabilities.
We are subject to many hazards and operational risks that can disrupt our business, some of which may not be insured or fully covered by insurance.
Our operations are subject to many hazards and operational risks inherent to our business, including: (a) general business risks; (b) warranty liability; and (c) damage to third parties (e.g., our vendors), our infrastructure or properties caused by fires, floods and other natural disasters, power losses, telecommunications failures, terrorist attacks, riots, cyberattacks, public health crises such as the current COVID-19 pandemic (and other future pandemics or epidemics), human errors and similar events. As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, or similar pandemics, we have and may in the future experience disruptions that could severely impact our business and the business of our customers.
Our insurance coverage may be inadequate to cover our liabilities related to such hazards or operational risks. For example, we do not currently maintain cybersecurity insurance and our insurance providers may take the position that our coverage, under present circumstances, does not extend to business interruptions as they relate to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, we may not be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates we consider reasonable and commercially justifiable, and insurance may not continue to be available on terms as favorable as our current arrangements. The occurrence of a significant uninsured claim or a claim in excess of the insurance coverage limits maintained by us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to Being a Public Company
Our management has limited experience in operating a public company.
Our executive officers have limited experience in the management of a publicly traded company. Our management team may not successfully or effectively manage our transition to a public company that will be subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under federal securities laws. Their limited experience in dealing with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies could be a significant disadvantage in that it is likely that an increasing amount of their time may be devoted to these activities which will result in less time being devoted to the management and growth of our Company. We may not have adequate personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience, and training in the accounting policies, practices or internal controls over financial reporting required of public companies in the United States. The development and implementation of the standards and controls necessary for us to achieve the level of accounting standards required of a public company in the United States may require costs greater than expected. It is possible that we will be required to expand our employee base and hire additional employees to support our operations as a public company which will increase our operating costs in future periods.
We will incur significant increased expenses and administrative burdens as a public company, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We will face increased legal, accounting, administrative and other costs and expenses as a public company that legacy OneMedNet Corporation did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), including the requirements of Section 404, as well as rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the SEC, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the rules and regulations promulgated and to be promulgated thereunder, the PCAOB and the securities exchanges, impose additional reporting and other obligations on public companies. Compliance with public company requirements will increase costs and make certain activities more time-consuming. A number of those requirements will require us to carry out activities we have not done previously. For example, we have created new Board committees and adopted new internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. In addition, expenses associated with SEC reporting requirements will be incurred. Furthermore, if any issues in complying with those requirements are identified (for example, if the auditors identify a material weakness or significant deficiency in the internal control over financial reporting), we could incur additional costs rectifying those issues, and the existence of those issues could adversely affect our reputation or investor perceptions of it. It may also be more expensive to obtain director and officer liability insurance. Risks associated with our status as a public company may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board or as executive officers. The additional reporting and other obligations imposed by these rules and regulations will increase legal and financial compliance costs and the costs of related legal, accounting and administrative activities. These increased costs will require us to divert a significant amount of money that could otherwise be used to expand the business and achieve strategic objectives. Advocacy efforts by stockholders and third parties may also prompt additional changes in governance and reporting requirements, which could further increase costs.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business, or the market in which we operate, or if they change their recommendations regarding our securities adversely, the price and trading volume of our securities could decline.
The trading market for our securities will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, market or competitors. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on us. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of us, our share price and trading volume would likely be negatively impacted. If any of the analysts who may cover us change their recommendation regarding our shares of Common Stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, the price of our shares of Common Stock would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover us were to cease our coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on it, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our share price or trading volume to decline.
Our Common Stock may be subject to extreme volatility.
The trading price of our Common Stock may be subject to extreme volatility. We cannot predict the magnitude of future fluctuations in the trading price of our Common Stock. The trading price of our Common Stock may be affected by a number of factors, including events described in the risk factors set forth in this prospectus and in our periodic reports filed with the SEC from time to time, as well as our operating results, financial condition and other events or factors. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in our securities. Factors affecting the trading price of our securities may include:
● | announcements by us or our competitors regarding technical developments and levels of performance achieved by our or their real-world data and real-world evidence offering; | |
● | announcements by us regarding developments in our relationship with existing and future key customers; | |
● | our ability to bring our products and technologies to market on a timely basis, or at all; | |
● | our operating results or development efforts failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period; | |
● | Actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to it; | |
● | changes in the market’s expectations about our operating results or the real-world data and real-world evidence industry; | |
● | success of competitors actual or perceived development efforts; | |
● | changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning the Company or the real-world data and real-world evidence industry in general; | |
● | operating and share price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to the Company; | |
● | disputes or other developments related to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain intellectual property protection for our technologies; | |
● | changes in laws and regulations affecting our business; | |
● | our ability to meet compliance requirements; | |
● | commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving the Company; | |
● | changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt; | |
● | the volume of shares of Common Stock available for public sale; | |
● | the level of demand for our Common Stock, including the amount of short interest in our stock; | |

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our securities irrespective of our operating performance. The stock market in general, and the Nasdaq in particular, have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of our securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for retail stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to the Company could depress our share price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of our securities also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.
Following certain periods of volatility in the market price of our securities, we may become subject of securities litigation. We have experienced, and may in the future experience additional litigation following periods of volatility. This type of litigation may result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.
Our business model is capital-intensive, and we may not be able to raise additional capital on attractive terms, if at all, which could be dilutive to stockholders. If we cannot raise additional capital when needed, our operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
We can be expected to continue to sustain substantial operating expenses without generating sufficient revenues to cover expenditures. Over time, we expect that we will need to raise additional funds, including through the issuance of equity, equity-related or debt securities or through obtaining credit from financial institutions to fund, together with our principal sources of liquidity, ongoing costs, any significant unplanned or accelerated expenses, and new strategic investments. We cannot be certain that additional capital will be available on attractive terms, if at all, when needed, which could be dilutive to stockholders, and our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Warrants
We may redeem unexpired Warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to Warrantholders.
Our public Warrants are currently exercisable for one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share. We have the ability to redeem outstanding Warrants at any time prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per Warrant, provided that the last reported sales price of Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date we send the notice of redemption to Warrantholders and provided certain other conditions are met. If and when the Warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption rights even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. As a result, we may redeem the Warrants, as set forth above even if the holders are otherwise unable to exercise the Warrants.
Redemption of the outstanding Warrants could force Warrantholders (i) to exercise their Warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for them to do so, (ii) to sell their Warrants at the then-current market price when they might otherwise wish to hold their Warrants or (iii) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding Warrants are called for redemption, we expect would be substantially less than the market value of their Warrants. None of the private placement Warrants will be redeemable by us so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

We also have global incident response procedures, global service tools to log incidents and issues for investigation, and an ethics line to report concerns and follow-up on matters already reported. The Compliance team, led by our Chief Compliance Officer, develops and implements our strategy, as well as monitors systems and devices for risks and threats.
Item 2. Properties
Our corporate headquarters is in Eden Prairie, Minnesota is leased on a month-to-month basis.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We may be subject from time to time to various claims, lawsuits and other legal and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims, lawsuits and other proceedings may involve highly complex issues that are subject to substantial uncertainties, and could result in damages, fines, penalties, non-monetary sanctions or relief.
We do not currently expect the results of any of these matters to have a material effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
We intend to recognize provisions for claims or pending litigation when we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Due to the inherent uncertain nature of litigation, the ultimate outcome or actual cost of settlement may materially vary from estimates. See “Risk Factors—Other Risks—Any future litigation against us could be costly and time-consuming to defend.”

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
On June 28, 2023, the Company executed a Securities Purchase Agreement for PIPE financing in the aggregate original principal amount of $1,595,744.70 and a purchase price of $1.5 million. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell to each of Thomas Kosasa, Dr. Jeffrey Yu, Aaron Green and Steve Kester (the “PIPE Investors”), a new series of senior secured convertible notes (the “PIPE Notes”), which Notes shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at the PIPE Investors election at the conversion price (rounded to the nearest 1/100th of one cent) which shall be computed as the lesser of:
(a) with respect to a conversion pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Securities Purchase Agreement (discussed below), the lesser of: (i) a price per share equal to the product of (x) 100% less the Discount and (y) the lowest per share purchase price of the Equity Securities issued in the Next Equity Financing; and (ii) $2.50 per share; and
(b) with respect to a conversion pursuant to Section 4.2 (discussed below), (relating to payment at maturity) or Section 4.3, $2.50 per share. The Securities Purchase agreement provided that the PIPE Investors’ $1.5 million investment in the PIPE Notes would close and fund contemporaneous to the Closing of the Business Combination.
Section 4.1 of the Securities Purchase Agreement provides that the principal balance and unpaid accrued interest on each Note will automatically convert into the PIPE Conversion Shares upon the closing of the Next Equity Financing (“Next Equity Financing” means the next sale or series of related sales by the Company of its Common Stock in one or more offerings relying on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D thereunder for exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act, from which the Company receives gross proceeds of not less than US$5,000,000 (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes).
Section 4.2 of the Securities Purchase Agreement provides that in the event of a Corporate Transaction or the repayment of such Note, at the closing of a corporate transaction, the holder of each Note may elect that either: (a) the Company will pay the holder of such Note an amount equal to the sum of (x) the outstanding principal balance of such Note, and (y) a premium equal to 20% of the outstanding principal balance of such Note (which premium, is in lieu of all accrued and unpaid interest due on such Note); or (b) such Note will convert into that number of Conversion Shares equal to the quotient (rounded down to the nearest whole share) obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest of such Note on a date that is no more than five days prior to the closing of such corporate transaction by (y) the applicable Conversion Price.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any sale (or series of related sales) of the Company’s Equity Securities to a special purpose acquisition company will not be deemed a “Next Equity Financing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, at its option, pay any unpaid accrued interest on each Note in cash at the time of conversion. The number of PIPE Conversion Shares the Company issues upon such conversion will equal the quotient (rounded down to the nearest whole share) obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest under each converting Note on a date that is no more than five days prior to the closing of the Next Equity Financing by (y) the applicable Conversion Price. At least five days prior to the closing of the Next Equity Financing, the Company will notify the holder of each Note in writing of the terms of the Equity Securities that are expected to be issued in such financing. The issuance of PIPE Conversion Shares pursuant to the conversion of each Note will be on, and subject to, the same terms and conditions applicable to the Equity Securities issued in the Next Equity Financing.

Company Overview
Founded in 2009, we provide innovative solutions that unlock the significant value contained within the clinical image archives of healthcare providers. Employing our proven OneMedNet iRWD™ solution, we securely de-identifies, searches, and curates a data archive locally, bringing a wealth of internal and third-party research opportunities to providers. By leveraging this extensive federated provider network, together with industry leading technology and in-house clinical expertise, OneMedNet successfully meets the most rigorous RWD Life Science requirements.
Business Combination
On November 7, 2023, we held the closing of the previously announced merger (the “Merger”) whereby Data Knights Merger Sub, Inc., merged with and into OneMedNet Solutions Corporation (formerly named OneMedNet Corporation), with OneMedNet Solutions Corporation continuing as the surviving entity, which resulted in all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of OneMedNet Solutions Corporation being exchanged for shares of the Company’s Common Stock upon the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “the Business Combination”). The Merger and other transactions that closed on November 7, 2023, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, led to Data Knights changing its name to “OneMedNet Corporation” and the business of the Company became the business of OneMedNet Solutions Corporation.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the total consideration for the Business Combination and related transactions (the “Merger Consideration”) was approximately $200 million. In connection with the Special Meeting, certain public holders (the “Redeeming Stockholders”) holding 1,600,741 shares of Common Stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee (“Continental”) in the trust account established in connection with Data Knights’ initial public offering (the “Trust Account”). Effective November 7, 2023, Data Knights’ units ceased trading, and effective November 8, 2023, OneMedNet’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “ONMD” and the warrants began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “ONMDW.”
As a result of the Merger and the Business Combination, holders of Data Knights common stock automatically received common stock of OneMedNet, and holders of Data Knights warrants automatically received warrants of OneMedNet with substantively identical terms. At the Closing of the Business Combination, all shares of Data Knights owned by the Sponsor (consisting of shares of Common Stock and shares of Class B common stock, which we refer to as the founder shares), automatically converted into an equal number of shares of OneMedNet’s Common Stock, and the Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor, automatically converted into warrants to purchase one share of OneMedNet Common Stock with substantively identical terms.
Key Components of Consolidated Statements of Operations
Revenue
The Company generates revenue from two streams: (1) iRWD (imaging Real World Data) which provides regulatory grade imaging and clinical data in the Pharmaceutical, Device Manufacturing, CRO’s and AI markets and (2) BEAM which is a Medical Imaging Exchange platform between Hospital/Healthcare Systems, Imaging Centers, Physicians and Patients. iRWD is sold on a fixed fee basis based on the number of data units and the cost per data unit committed to in the customer contract. Revenue is recognized when the data is delivered to the customer. Beam revenue is subscription-based revenue which is recognized ratably over the subscription period committed to by the customer. The Company invoices its Beam customers quarterly or annually in advance with the customer contracts automatically renewing unless the customer issues a cancellation notice.
The Company excludes from revenue taxes collected from a customer that are assessed by a governmental authority and imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction. The transaction price for the products is the invoiced amount. Advanced billings from contracts are deferred and recognized as revenue when earned. Deferred revenue consists of payments received in advance of performance under the contract. Such amounts are generally recognized as revenue over the contractual period. The Company receives payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules. Accounts receivable is recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Payment terms on invoiced amounts typically range from zero to 90 days, with typical terms of 30 days.
Cost of Revenue
Our cost of revenue is composed of our distinct performance obligations of hosting, labor, and data cost.

27 |
Our revenue comprises of sales made from our data exchange (BEAM) and from data broker (RWD). For the year ended 2023, overall revenue was down by 11%. The primary driver for exchange revenue increase was delivery of revenue to a significant customer. The primary drive for the decrease in broker revenue was revenue deliveries pushed to Q1 of Fiscal 2024.
Cost of Revenue

Cost of Revenue | 1,149,551 | 1,513,428 | ||||||
As a percentage of Revenue | 113 | % | 131 | % |
In 2023 we were able to reduce our cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue by 24%. In the year ended 2023 our Software cost, iRWD consultants and iRWD Data cost each decreased by $0.2 million. The decrease was partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in payroll expenses.
General and Administrative
Our general and administrative expense increased year over year by $1.8 million from the year ended 2022 compared to the year ended 2023. The increase is primarily due to the additional cost incurred in connection with our Business Combination. We incurred an additional $1.0 million legal cost, $0.7 million on warrants issued to convertible note holders that were converted into share of commons stock, $0.4 million additional employees’ salaries, $0.3 million for investor relations cost, and $0.3 million in additional audit fees. The increase in general and administrative expenses were partially offset by $0.2 million decrease in both recruitment fees and bad debt expense.
Operation
Our operations expense includes payroll and consultant costs. Operations expense decreased year over year by $0.2 million from the year ended 2022 compared with the year ended 2023. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in headcount.
Sales & Marketing
Our sales & marketing expense increased by $0.15 million year over year from the year ended 2022 compared to the year ended 2023. The increase is due to the addition of an employee and consultant in 2023.
Research and development
Our research and development expense increased by $0.7 million year over year from the year ended 2022 compared to the year ended 2023. The increase is primarily due to the additional cost in salaries for curators, consultants and increased hosting costs, which increased by $0.4 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
Impairment
The Company recorded goodwill of $10.5 million in connection with the Business Combination. In December 2023, the Company concluded that the entire goodwill was impaired, as such the $10.5 million of goodwill was written-off.
Income tax provision
For the year ended 2023, the Company is in a significant loss, as such we did not record any income tax provision.
Interest Expense
The Company incurred interest expense on Loan extensions associated with the Business Combination, convertible promissory notes, the Pipe Senior Secured Convertible Notes and Loans made from related parties (Management and Directors). Interest expense in the year ended 2023 increased by $0.3 million. The increase was mainly from the Pipe Senior Secured Convertible Notes issued in 2023.
Change in Fair Value of Warrants
The change in Warrant Fair Value was due to the closing of the Business Combination Agreement and the resulting fluctuations of the share market price.
28 |
Stock Expense
The Company incurred approximately $3.5 million in common stock issuance expense for the Data Knight shares converted to OneMedNet Corporation shares.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure
In addition to providing financial measurements based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, we provide an additional financial metric that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, or non-GAAP financial measure. We use this non-GAAP financial measure, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes, to measure executive compensation, and to evaluate our financial performance. This non-GAAP financial measure is Adjusted EBITDA, as discussed below.
We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure reflects our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business, as it facilitates comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies. We also believe that this non-GAAP financial measure enables investors to evaluate our operating results and future prospects in the same manner as we do. This non-GAAP financial measure may exclude expenses and gains that may be unusual in nature, infrequent, or not reflective of our ongoing operating results.
The non-GAAP financial measure does not replace the presentation of our GAAP financial measures and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of our business and a good measure of our historical operating trends. Adjusted EBITDA eliminates items that we do not consider to be part of our core operations. We define Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net loss excluding the following items: interest income; income taxes; depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets; unit and stock-based compensation; Business Combination transaction expenses; and other non-recurring items that may arise from time to time.
The non-GAAP adjustments, and our basis for excluding them from our non-GAAP financial measure, are outlined below:
● | Unit and Stock-based compensation – Although unit and stock-based compensation is an important aspect of the compensation paid to our employees, the grant date fair value varies based on the derived stock price at the time of grant, varying valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions, and the variety of award types. This makes the comparison of our current financial results to previous and future periods difficult to interpret; therefore, we believe it is useful to exclude unit and stock-based compensation from our non-GAAP financial measures in order to highlight the performance of our business and to be consistent with the way many investors evaluate our performance and compare our operating results to peer companies. | |
● | Business Combination transaction expenses – Business Combination transaction expenses represent the expenses incurred solely related to the Business Combination, which we completed on June 7, 2022. It primarily includes investment banker fees, legal fees, professional fees for accountants, transaction fees, advisory fees, due diligence costs, certain other professional fees, and other direct costs associated with strategic activities. These amounts are impacted by the timing of the Business Combination. We exclude Business Combination transaction expenses from our non-GAAP financial measures to provide a useful comparison of our operating results to prior periods and to our peer companies because such amounts vary significantly based on the magnitude of the Business Combination transaction and do not reflect our core operations. |
The following table reconciles GAAP net loss to Adjusted EBITDA during the periods presented (in thousands):

Operating Activities
Our net cash and cash equivalents provided by (used in) operating activities consists of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, business combination cost, stock-based compensation expense, cash held in trust account, and as well as changes in operating assets and liabilities. The primary changes in working capital items, such as the changes in accounts receivable and deferred revenue, result from the difference in timing of payments from our customers related to contract performance obligation. This may result in an operating cash flow source or use for the period, depending on the timing of payments received as compared to the fulfillment of the performance obligation.
Net cash used in operating activities was $8.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. Net cash used in operating activities was due to our net loss of $23.2 million adjusted for non-cash items of $31.4 million, primarily consisting of the redemption of public shares in connection with the Business Combination causing the withdrawal of $29.0 million of cash held in the trust account, $0.9 million business combination cost, $0.4 million extension loan, and use of cash for operating assets and liabilities of $1.1million due to the timing of cash payments to vendors and cash receipts from customers.
By comparison, the Company’s net cash provided by operating activities was $87.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. Net cash provided by operating activities was due to our net loss of $6.2 million adjusted for non-cash items of $93.5 million, primarily consisting of the redemption of public shares in connection with the Business Combination causing the withdrawal of $88.3 million of cash held in trust account $1.6 million of stock-based compensation expense, $2.5 million extension loan, less $0.5 million and use of cash for operating assets and liabilities of $.5 million due to the timing of cash payments to vendors and cash receipts from customers.

Financing Activities
Net cash flows from financing activities was ($8.4 million) for the year ended December 31, 2023, which primarily consisted of $10.7 million repayment on convertible promissory note payable, $1.5 million proceeds from issuance of PIPE Convertible Notes and Warrants, $0.5 proceeds from related loan, $28.8 million from Common Stock subject to redemption in connection with the Business Combination, $0.5 million underwriting fee related to the Business Combination, $0.3 million decrease in warrant liability, $18.2 million additional paid in capital and $11.6 million retained earning adjustment.
By comparison, the Company’s net cash flows from financing activities was ($88.0 million) for the year ended December 31, 2023, which primarily consisted of $5.5 million proceeds from convertible promissory notes payable, $88.5 million from common stock subject to redemption in connection with the Business Combination, $4.5 million decrease in warrant liability, $2.8 million additional paid in capital and $3.4 million retained earning adjustment.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments and Liquidity Outlook
Currently, management does not believe the cash and cash equivalents is sufficient to meet our foreseeable cash needs for at least the next 12 months. Our foreseeable cash needs, in addition to our recurring operating expenses, include our expected capital expenditures to support the expansion of our infrastructure and workforce, interest expense and minimum contractual obligations. Management hopes to raise cash either through a public offering or private debt and equity offering. Our inability to raise cash would cause to operate as a going concern.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support research and development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced product and service offerings, and the cost of any future acquisitions of technology or businesses. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may be unable to raise the funds on acceptable terms, if at all.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing our financial statements, we make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that can have a significant impact on our reported revenue, results of operations, and net income or loss, as well as on the value of certain assets and liabilities on our balance sheet during and as of the reporting periods. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary because future events and their effects on our results and the value of our assets cannot be determined with certainty and are made based on our historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur or additional information is obtained, and we may periodically be faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within our control and may not be known for a prolonged period of time. Because the use of estimates is inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.
We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with the following critical accounting policies involve significant judgment and thus have the most significant potential impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue Recognition
We generate revenue from the sale of products and services. A description of our revenue recognition policies is included in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Although most of our sales agreements contain standard terms and conditions, certain agreements contain multiple performance obligations or non-standard terms and conditions. For customer contracts that contain more than one performance obligation, we allocate the total transaction consideration to each performance obligation based on the relative stand-alone selling price of each performance obligation within the contract. We rely on either observable standalone sales or an expected cost plus a margin approach to determine the standalone selling price of offerings, depending on the nature of the performance obligation.
As we further discuss in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for contracts with customers entered into during fiscal years 2023 and 2022, revenue from the sales of our iRWD and BEAM are recognized over time as the asset created by our performance does not have alternative use to us and an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date is present. We recognize revenue as work progresses, using costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion. Incurred costs represent work performed, which correspond with and best depict transfer of control to the customer. Contract costs are incurred over a period of time, which can span periods, and the estimation of these costs requires management’s judgment. Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on the iRWD and BEAM and our reliance on the availability the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion is complex, subject to many variables, and requires significant judgment on a contract-by-contract basis. As part of this process, we review information including, but not limited to, any outstanding key contract matters, progress towards completion and the related program schedule, identified risks and opportunities and the related changes in estimates of revenue and costs. The risks and opportunities relate to our judgment about the delays that may or may not be within our control. Risks and opportunities may also relate to supply chain trends and commodity pricing, as well as changes in foreign currencies. Changes in estimates of net sales, cost of sales, and the related impact to operating profit are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis, which recognizes the cumulative effect of the profit changes on current and prior periods based on a performance obligation’s percentage of completion in the current period. A significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of one of more of our performance obligations and could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Stock-based Compensation
Prior to the Business Combination, OneMedNet Corporation (now OneMedNet Solutions Corporation) had five authorized classes of membership interests, consisting of a class of common units known as the Class A Common Units (the “Class A Units”), a class of preferred units known as the Series A-2 Preferred Units (the “A-2 Preferred Units”), a class of preferred units known as the Series A-1 Preferred Units (the “A-1 Preferred Units”), Convertible Notes, Stock Options units, known as the Options and Warrants units granted to employees, officers, and directors pursuant to an incentive plan.
31 |
Following the Business Combination, the Company has authorized 101,000,000 shares of common stock, including 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. In addition, the Company has three classes of warrants (i.e., Public Warrants, Private Warrants and PIPE Warrants) issued and outstanding.
As the Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, all periods prior to the Business Combination have been retroactively adjusted using the Exchange Ratio as stipulated by the Merger Agreement for the equivalent number of shares outstanding immediately after the Merger to effect the reverse recapitalization. The Class A Units, A-2 Preferred Units, A-1 Preferred Units, Options and Warrants were converted into Common Stock using an exchange ratio of 1:1, the Convertible Notes were converted into Common Stock using an exchange ratio of 2.5 per share. This is presented within the consolidated statements of changes in redeemable preferred and common units and equity (deficit).
We typically issue restricted stock units (“RSUs”) as stock-based compensation. For RSUs, the fair value is the closing market price of the stock on the date immediately preceding the grant. We recognize compensation expense over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest. We account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than applying an estimated forfeiture rate. The graded-vesting method of expense recognition is applied to all awards with service-only conditions.
Certain RSUs involve stock to be issued upon the achievement of certain performance conditions. Such RSUs become available, subject to time-based vesting conditions if, and to the extent that, financial performance criteria for the applicable period are achieved. Accordingly, the number of RSUs earned will vary based on the level of achievement of financial performance objectives for the applicable period. Until such time that our financial performance can ultimately be determined, each quarter we estimate the number of RSUs to be earned based on an evaluation of the probability of achieving the financial performance objectives. Such estimates are revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods when the underlying factors change our evaluation of the probability of achieving the financial performance objectives. Accordingly, stock-based compensation expense associated with performance-based RSUs may differ significantly from the amount recorded in the current period.
The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation awards represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.
Warrant transactions
PIPE Warrants to purchase our shares of Common Stock may be accounted for as either liability or equity instruments depending on the terms of the warrant agreements. The warrants issued by us are accounted for as equity instruments due to our ability to settle the warrants through the issuance of units and the absence of terms which would require liability classification, including the rights of the grantee to require cash settlement. We classify these equity instruments within additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets.
Private Warrants to purchase units accounted for as liability instruments represent the warrants issued to significant shareholders and related parties.
In order to calculate warrant charges, we used the Black-Scholes pricing model, which required key inputs including volatility and risk-free interest rate and certain unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, requiring us to develop our own assumptions. We estimated the fair value of unvested warrants, considered to be probable of vesting, at the time. Based on that estimated fair value, we determined warrant charges, which were recorded as a reduction of the transaction price.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements:
As of December 31, 2023, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Instruction 8 to Item 303(b) of Regulation S-K.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk, including changes to interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
32 |
Interest Rate Sensitivity
We had cash and cash equivalents totaling $0.05 million and $0.30 million as of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and investments with original maturities of three months or less, are stated at cost, and approximate fair value. Our investment policy and strategy are focused on preservation of capital, supporting our liquidity requirements, and delivering competitive returns subject to prevailing market conditions. We were not exposed to material risks due to changes in market interest rates given the liquidity of the cash and investments with original maturities of three months.
Foreign Currency Risk
Although we are exposed to foreign currency risk from our international operations, we do not consider it to have a material impact. Certain transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. Foreign currency transaction losses totaled $23,109 for the year ended December 31, 2023, which is up from $13,066 for the year ended December 31, 2022, each of which were recorded within other income, net on the consolidated statements of operations.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are generally held with large financial institutions. Although the Company’s deposits may exceed federally insured limits, the financial institutions that the Company uses have high investment-grade credit ratings and, as a result, the Company believes that, as of December 31, 2023, its risk relating to deposits exceeding federally insured limits was not significant.
The Company has no significant off-balance sheet risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts, or other hedging arrangements.
The Company believes its credit policies are prudent and reflect normal industry terms and business risk. The Company generally does not require collateral from its customers and generally requires payment from zero to 90 days from the invoice date with typical terms of 30 days. As of December 31, 2023, three customers accounted for over 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance, and one customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2022.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and the board of directors of OneMedNet Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of OneMedNet Corporation as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
