NOTE 1 – NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

Corporate History

 

LifeMD, Inc. was formed in the State of Delaware on May 24, 1994, under its prior name, Immudyne, Inc. The Company changed its name to Conversion Labs, Inc. on June 22, 2018 and then subsequently, on February 22, 2021, it changed its name to LifeMD, Inc. Effective February 22, 2021, the trading symbol for the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC changed from “CVLB” to “LFMD”.

 

On April 1, 2016, the original operating agreement of Immudyne PR LLC (“Immudyne PR”), a joint venture to market the Company’s skincare products, was amended and restated and the Company increased its ownership and voting interest in Immudyne PR to 78.2%. Concurrent with the name change of the parent company to Conversion Labs, Inc., Immudyne PR was renamed to Conversion Labs PR LLC. On April 25, 2019, the operating agreement of Conversion Labs PR was amended and restated in its entirety to increase the Company’s ownership and voting interest in Conversion Labs PR to 100%. On February 22, 2021, concurrent with the name of the parent company to LifeMD, Inc., Conversion Labs PR LLC was renamed to LifeMD PR, LLC.

 

In June 2018, the Company closed the strategic acquisition of 51% of LegalSimpli Software, LLC, which operates a software as a service application for converting, editing, signing, and sharing PDF documents called PDFSimpli. In addition to LegalSimpli Software, LLC’s growth business model, this acquisition added deep search engine optimization and search engine marketing expertise to the Company. On July 15, 2021, LegalSimpli Software, LLC, changed its name to WorkSimpli Software LLC, (“WorkSimpli”). Effective January 22, 2021, the Company consummated a transaction to restructure the ownership of WorkSimpli (the “WSS Restructuring”) concurrently increased its ownership interest in WorkSimpli to 85.58%. Effective September 30, 2022, two option agreements were exercised which further restructured the ownership of WorkSimpli. As a result, the Company’s ownership interest in WorkSimpli decreased to 73.64%. Effective March 31, 2023, the Company redeemed 500 membership interest units in WorkSimpli and, as a result, the Company’s ownership interest in WorkSimpli increased to 74.06%. See Note 8 for additional information.

 

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

 

Nature of Business

 

The Company is a direct-to-patient telehealth company providing patients a high-quality, cost-effective, and convenient way of accessing comprehensive, virtual healthcare. The Company believes the traditional model of visiting a doctor’s office, traveling to a local pharmacy, and returning for follow up care or prescription refills is complex, inefficient, and costly, and discourages many individuals from seeking much needed medical care. The Company is positioned to elevate the healthcare experience through telehealth with our proprietary technology platform, affiliated provider network, broad treatment capabilities, and unique ability to nurture patient relationships. Direct-to-patient telehealth technology companies, like the Company, connect consumers to affiliated, licensed, healthcare professionals for care across numerous indications, including urgent and primary care, men’s and women’s health, and dermatology, chronic care management and more.

 

The Company’s telehealth platform helps patients access their licensed providers for diagnoses, virtual care, and prescription medications, often delivered on a recurring basis. In addition to its telehealth prescription offerings, the Company sells over-the-counter (“OTC”) products. All products are available on a subscription or membership basis, where a patient can subscribe to receive regular shipments of prescribed medications or products. This creates convenience and often discounted pricing opportunities for patients and recurring revenue streams for the Company.

 

With its first brand, ShapiroMD, the Company has built a full line of proprietary OTC products for male and female hair loss—including Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved OTC minoxidil and an FDA-cleared medical device—and now a personalized telehealth platform offering that gives consumers access to virtual medical treatment from their providers and, when appropriate, a full line of oral and topical prescription medications for hair loss. The Company’s men’s brand, RexMD, currently offers access to provider-based treatment for erectile dysfunction, as well as treatment for other common men’s health issues, including premature ejaculation and hair loss. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company launched NavaMD, a tele-dermatology and skincare brand for women. The Company has built a platform that allows it to efficiently launch telehealth and wellness product lines wherever it determines there is a market need.

 

 

Business and Subsidiary History

 

In early 2019, the Company launched a service-based business under the name Conversion Labs Media LLC (“CVLB Media”), a Puerto Rico limited liability company. However, this business initiative was terminated in early 2019. In May 2019, Conversion Labs Rx, LLC (“CVLB Rx”), a Puerto Rico limited liability company, signed a strategic partnership agreement with Specialty Medical Drugstore, Inc. (doing business as “GoGoMeds”). However, since its inception, CVLB Rx did not conduct any business and CVLB Rx was dissolved on August 7, 2020. Additionally, Conversion Labs Asia Limited (“Conversion Labs Asia”), a Hong Kong company, had no activity during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

 

On January 18, 2022, the Company acquired Cleared, a nationwide allergy telehealth platform that provides personalized treatments for allergy, asthma, and immunology. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired all outstanding shares of Cleared at closing in exchange for a $460 thousand upfront cash payment, and two non-contingent milestone payments for a total of $3.46 million ($1.73 million each on or before the first and second anniversaries of the closing date). The Company purchased a convertible note from a strategic pharmaceutical investor for $507 thousand which was converted upon closing of the Cleared acquisition. The Company also agreed to a performance-based earnout based on Cleared’s future net sales, payable in cash or shares at the Company’s discretion. On February 4, 2023, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “First Amendment”) between the Company and the sellers of Cleared. The First Amendment was amended to, among other things: (i) reduce the total purchase price by $250 thousand to a total of $3.67 million; (ii) change the timing of the payment of the purchase price to $460 thousand paid at closing (which has already been paid by the Company), with the remaining amount to be paid in five quarterly installments beginning on or before February 6, 2023 and ending January 15, 2024; (iii) removing all “earn-out” payments payable by the Company to the sellers; and (iv) remove certain representations and warranties of the Company and sellers in connection with the transaction (See Note 3).

 

In February 2022, WorkSimpli closed on an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “ResumeBuild APA”) with East Fusion FZCO, a Dubai, UAE corporation (the “Seller”), whereby WorkSimpli acquired substantially all of the assets associated with the Seller’s business, offering subscription-based resume building software through software as a service online platforms (the “Acquisition”). WorkSimpli paid $4.0 million to the Seller upon closing. The Seller is also entitled to a minimum of $500 thousand to be paid out in quarterly payments equal to the greater of 15% of net profits (as defined in the ResumeBuild APA) or approximately $63 thousand, for a two-year period ending on the two-year anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition. As of March 31, 2023, WorkSimpli has paid the Seller approximately $219 thousand in accordance with the ResumeBuild APA. WorkSimpli borrowed the purchase price from the Company pursuant to a promissory note with the obligation secured by an equity purchase guarantee agreement and a stock option pledge agreement from Fitzpatrick Consulting, LLC and its sole member Sean Fitzpatrick, who is Co-Founder and President of WorkSimpli (See Note 3).

 

Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “LifeMD,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to LifeMD, Inc. (formerly known as Conversion Labs, Inc.), our wholly subsidiary LifeMD PR, LLC (formerly Immudyne PR LLC, and “Conversion Labs PR”), a Puerto Rico limited liability company (“Conversion Labs PR”, or “CLPR”), Cleared, a Delaware public benefit corporation and our majority-owned subsidiary, WorkSimpli. The affiliated network of medical Professional Corporations and medical Professional Associations administratively led by LifeMD Southern Patient Medical Care, P.C., (“LifeMD PC”) is the Company’s affiliated, variable interest entity in which we hold a controlling financial interest. Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars.

 

Liquidity & Going Concern Evaluation

 

The Company has funded operations in the past through the sales of its products, issuance of common and preferred stock, and through loans and advances. The Company’s continued operations are dependent upon obtaining an increase in its sale volumes and obtaining funding from third-party sources or the issuance of additional shares of common stock.

 

On March 21, 2023, the Company entered into and closed on a loan and security agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), and a supplement to the Credit Agreement (the “Supplement”), with Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund II, L.P. and Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund, L.P. (collectively, “Avenue”). The Credit Agreement provides for a convertible senior secured credit facility of up to an aggregate amount of $40 million, comprised of the following: (1) $15 million in term loans funded at closing, (2) $5 million of additional committed term loans available in the fourth quarter of 2023 and (3) $20 million of additional uncommitted term loans, collectively referred to as the “Avenue Facility”. The Avenue Facility matures on October 1, 2026. The Company issued Avenue warrants to purchase $1.2 million of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.24, subject to adjustments (the “Warrants”). In addition, Avenue may convert up to $2 million of the $15 million in term loans funded at closing into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time while the loans are outstanding, at a price per share equal to $1.49. Proceeds from the Avenue Facility were used to repay the Company’s outstanding notes payable balances with CRG Financial and are expected to be used for general corporate purposes and at the Company’s election, re-financing up to $5 million liquidation value plus accrued interest on the Series B Preferred Stock. The Company is subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants under the Avenue Facility, including the requirement, beginning on the closing date, to maintain at least $5 million of unrestricted cash to be tested at the end of each month, and beginning on the period ended September 30, 2023, and at the end of each quarter thereafter, a trailing six-month cash flow of at least $2 million.

 

 

As of March 31, 2023, the Company has an accumulated deficit approximating $195.3 million and has experienced significant losses from its operations. To date, the Company has been funding operations primarily through the sales of its products, sale of equity in private placements and securities purchased by a financial institution. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in increasing revenues, improving operational efficiencies or that financing will be available or, if available, that such financing will be available under favorable terms.

 

The Company has a current cash balance of approximately $12.8 million as of the filing date. The Company reviewed its forecasted operating results and sources and uses of cash used in management’s assessment, which included the available financing and consideration of positive and negative evidence impacting management’s forecasts, market, and industry factors. The Company’s continuance as a going concern is highly dependent on its future profitability and on the on-going support of its stockholders, affiliates, and creditors. Based on these circumstances, management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

The Company has begun to implement strategies to strengthen revenues and improve operational efficiencies across the business and is significantly curtailing expenses, however, these strategies do not mitigate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Additionally, on June 8, 2021, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, which was declared effective on June 22, 2021 (the “2021 Shelf”). Under the 2021 Shelf at the time of effectiveness, the Company originally had the ability to raise up to $150 million by selling common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, and units. In conjunction with the 2021 Shelf, the Company also entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “ATM Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. relating to the sale of its common stock. In accordance with the terms of the ATM Sales Agreement, the Company may, but is not obligated to, offer and sell, from time to time, shares of common stock, through or to the Agents, acting as agent or principal. Sales of common stock, if any, will be made by any method permitted that is deemed an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act. On March 22, 2023, the date the Company filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the Company became subject to the offering limits in General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 (i.e., the “baby shelf limitations”). As a result of the baby shelf limitations, the Company may only offer and sell shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $18.435 million pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement, and it filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC to that effect on March 27, 2023. In the event that the Company’s public float increases above $75.0 million, the Company will no longer be subject to the baby shelf limitations, in which case the Company will file another prospectus supplement with the SEC prior to making sales pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement in excess of $18.435 million. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has $18.435 million available under the ATM Sales Agreement.

 

Management believes that the overall market value of the telehealth industry is positive and that it will continue to drive interest in the Company.
