COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Purchase Commitments

 

Many of the Company’s vendors require product deposits when a purchase order is placed for goods or fulfillment services related to inventory requirements. The Company’s history of product deposits with its inventory vendors, creates an implicit purchase commitment equaling the total expected product acceptance cost in excess of the product deposit. As of March 31, 2025, the Company approximates its implicit purchase commitments to be $279 thousand.

 

Legal Matters

 

In the normal course of business operations, the Company may become involved in various legal matters. As of March 31, 2025, other than as set forth below, the Company’s management does not believe that there are any potential legal matters that could have an adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position.

 

On August 23, 2023, a purported putative class action complaint captioned Marden v. LifeMD, Inc., Case No. 23-cv-07469, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Marden Complaint”) against the Company’s RexMD brand. The Marden Complaint alleges, inter alia, unauthorized disclosure of certain information of class members to third parties. On November 21, 2023, the plaintiffs amended the Marden Complaint. On March 4, 2024, the Company moved to dismiss the Marden Complaint, and that motion is pending. On July 12, 2024, the parties attended a mediation. On November 1, 2024, the plaintiffs filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of the Southern District of New York case. On November 25, 2024, the plaintiffs refiled the case via a new complaint captioned W.M.F. & Matthew Marden v. LifeMD, Inc., Case No. A-24-906800-C, in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada. The results of legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and the best estimate of cost is reflected in the Company’s financial results.

 

On September 5, 2023, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) issued a notice of deficiency to the Company in which the IRS asserted an income tax deficiency of approximately $1.9 million for the Company’s tax year ending December 31, 2019. The Company timely filed a petition in the United States Tax Court disputing all of the proposed tax deficiency. The case was subsequently transferred to the Appeals Division of the IRS. Upon review of the amended return, IRS Appeals agreed to accept the amended return as filed. On April 1, 2025, the United States Tax Court issued a decision that there was no deficiency in federal income tax due for the tax year ending December 31, 2019. All of the issues in the case were resolved in the Company’s favor.
