CONVERSION LABS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Nature of Business
Conversion Labs, Inc. (the “Company”), was formed in the State of Delaware on May 24, 1994, under our prior name, Immudyne, Inc. We changed our name to Conversion Labs, Inc. on June 22, 2018. Further, in connection with changing its name, the Company changed its trading symbol to CVLB. On April 1, 2016, our majority-owned subsidiary, Immudyne PR LLC (“Immudyne PR”), which was initially organized for the purpose of forming a joint venture with the original owners of one of our skincare products, amended and restated its operating agreement whereby we increased our ownership and voting interest in Immudyne PR to 78.2%. Concurrent with the name change of the parent company to Conversion Labs, Inc. completed in 2018, Immudyne PR was renamed to Conversion Labs PR LLC (now known as “Conversion Labs PR”, and/or “CLPR”). On April 25, 2019, the operating agreement of Conversion Labs PR was amended and restated in its entirety after acquiring the remaining minority interest in the Conversion Labs PR, which is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Company is a direct-to-consumer response healthcare company that provides a convenient, cost-effective and smarter way for consumers to access high quality Over The Counter (OTC) products and prescription medications.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 the Company generated $20.3 million in revenue from sales of its branded products and $ 4.1 million in revenue from sales generated on its software platform. The Company has incurred operating losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $47.9 million as of September 30, 2020.
The U.S. healthcare system is undergoing a paradigm shift largely due to new technologies and the emergence of direct-to-consumer healthcare. The COVID-19 Pandemic has accelerated this paradigm shift across all facets of internet commerce activities. We believe the traditional model of visiting a doctor’s office, receiving a physical prescription, visiting a neighborhood pharmacy, and returning to see a doctor for follow up care or prescription refills is inefficient, costly to patients, and discourages many patients from seeking much needed medical care, as well as hindering prescription adherence. Direct-to-consumer telemedicine companies, like our Company, offer patients immediate and virtual treatment from licensed physicians, and the home delivery of prescription medications, devices and diagnostics bundled with over-the counter wellness products.
The worsening global COVID-19 pandemic occurring during the fall season of 2020, has resulted in significant, and heightened governmental measures being implemented to control the spread of COVID-19, and while we cannot predict their scope and severity, these developments and measures could materially and adversely affect our business beyond the initial positive impacts we recognized. As a result of the worsening pandemic, our results of operations and our financial condition could be negatively impacted.
We are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business and are taking steps to minimize its impact on our business. However, the extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business, results of operations or financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the duration of the outbreak, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 or the effectiveness of actions taken to contain the pandemic or treat its impact, among others, including the timing and the likelihood of a successful vaccine.
Furthermore, if we or any of our significant supply vendors, with whom we engage were to experience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materially or negatively affected, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We have built a platform that allows us to efficiently launch telehealth and wellness product lines wherever we determine there is a market need. Our platform is supported by a driven team of digital marketing and branding experts, data analysts, designers, and engineers focused on building enduring brands
Business and Subsidiary History
In June 2018, Conversion Labs closed the strategic acquisition of 51% of LegalSimpli Software, LLC (“LegalSimpli”), a software as a service (SaaS) application for converting, editing, signing and sharing PDF documents. In addition to LegalSimpli’s growth business model, this acquisition added deep search engine optimization and search engine marketing expertise to the Company.
In early 2019, the Company had launched a service-based business under the name Conversion Labs Media LLC, which was to be used to run e-commerce marketing campaigns for other online businesses. However, this business initiative was terminated in early 2019 in order to focus on its core business as well as the expansion of our telehealth opportunities.
In June 2019, a strategic joint venture with GoGoMeds.com (GoGoMeds) was formed in order to help facilitate the launch of our telemedicine business. GoGoMeds is a nationwide pharmacy licensed to dispense prescription medications directly to consumers in all 50 states and the District of Columbia However, on August 7, 2020, the Company terminated its Strategic Partnership Agreement with GoGoMeds. The joint venture with GoGoMeds had not initiated activities, and its termination did not have an impact on the Company’s operations.
Conversion Labs Rx, LLC (“CVLB Rx”), a Puerto Rico limited liability company, had no activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and was dissolved during the period.
Unless otherwise indicated, the “Company” refers Conversion Labs, Inc. (formerly known as Immudyne, Inc.), our wholly owned subsidiary Conversion Labs PR, LLC (“Conversion Labs PR”, formerly known as Immudyne PR LLC), a Puerto Rico limited liability company and our majority-owned subsidiary LegalSimpli Software, LLC, a Puerto Rico limited liability company (“LegalSimpli”). Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars.
Reverse Stock Split
On October 9, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware (the “Amendment”) in order to effectuate a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Split” or “Split”). The Reverse Split was approved by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and became effective in the market on October 14, 2020 (the “Effective Date”). All references to common shares and common share data in these unaudited financial statements and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q as of September 30, 2020, and for the three and nine-months then ended, reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
Liquidity
The Company has funded operations in the past through the sales of its products, issuance of common stock and through loans and advances from officers and directors. The Company’s continued operations are dependent upon obtaining an increase in its sale volumes and the continued financial support from officers and directors, obtaining funding from third-party sources or the issuance of additional shares of common stock. See Subsequent Event Note 9 for a further discussion of a private placement offering, which closed on November 3, 2020, yielding approximately $13.2 million in net proceeds to the Company after deduction of placement fees and other offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds to expedite growth initiatives, as well as for general corporate purposes.
Going Concern Evaluation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has an accumulated deficit approximating $47.9 million and has experienced significant losses from its operations.
Based on the Company’s cash balance as of September 30, 2020, and projected cash needs, management estimates that it will need an additional $7.2 million through the next 12 months. The Company has also closed a private placement offering, discussed in “Liquidity” above, and further in Note 9, “Subsequent Events”. Although management has been successful to date in raising necessary funding, there can be no assurance that sales revenue will substantially increase or that any required future financing can be successfully completed on a timely basis, or on terms acceptable to the Company. 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.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and are unaudited. Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 was derived from our audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2020. The results of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 (unaudited) are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the pending full year ending December 31, 2020, nor the pending three month results ending December 31, 2020.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company evaluates the need to consolidate affiliates based on standards set forth in ASC 810 Consolidation (“ASC 810”).
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, CLPR and its majority owned subsidiary, LegalSimpli. The non-controlling interest in LegalSimpli represents the 49% equity interest held by other members of the subsidiary.
All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The Company prepares its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Some of the more significant estimates required to be made by management include the determination of reserves (if necessary) for accounts receivable, returns and allowances, useful life of intangible and right of use assets, the valuation of inventory and inputs into the provision for lease liabilities and stockholders’ equity-based transactions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The continuing impact on business activity brought about by the Coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”) continues to evolve, globally in macro terms, and in micro terms, as such affects the Company. As a result, many of our estimates and assumptions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were subject to an increased level of judgment and may carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. In future periods, subsequent to September 30, 2020, when additional information becomes available, which may differ from our current assumptions, may subject our estimates to material change in future periods.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior year’s data to the current presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) or cash flows. Given the increase in the Company’s software business and to conform the Company’s presentation of operating results to industry standards, the Company has changed their categories for reporting operations, as result the Company has made reclassifications to the prior year presentation in order to conform it to the current periods’ presentation.
Revenue Recognition
The Company records revenue under the adoption of ASC 606 by analyzing exchanges with its customers using a five-step analysis:
1. | Identify the contract |
2. | Identify performance obligations |
3. | Determine the transaction price |
4. | Allocate the transaction price |
5. | Recognize revenue |
For the Company’s product-based contracts with customers, the Company has determined that there is one performance obligation, which is the delivery of the product; this performance obligation is transferred at a discrete point in time. The Company generally records sales of finished products once the customer places and pays for the order, with the product being simultaneously shipped by a third-party fulfillment service provider; in limited cases, title does not pass until the product reaches the customer’s delivery site, in these limited cases, recognition of revenue should be deferred until that time, however the Company does not have a process to properly record the recognition of revenue if orders are not immediately shipped, and deems the impact to be immaterial. In all cases, delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer, which is usually commensurate upon shipment of the product. In the case of its product-based contracts, the Company provides a subscription sensitive service based on the recurring shipment of products and records the related revenue under the subscription agreements subsequent to receiving the monthly product order, recording the revenue at the time it fulfills the shipment obligation to the customer.
For its product-based contracts with customers, the Company records an estimate for provisions of discounts, returns, allowances, customer rebates and other adjustments for its product shipments, and are reflected as contra revenues in arriving at reported net revenues. The Company’s discounts and customer rebates are known at the time of sale, correspondingly, the Company reduces gross product sales for such discounts and customer rebates. The Company estimates customer returns and allowances based on information derived from historical transaction detail, and accounts for such provisions, as contra revenue, during the same period in which the related revenues are earned. The Company has determined that the population of its product-based contracts with customers are homogenous, supporting the ability to record estimates for returns and allowances to be applied to the entire product-based portfolio population. Customer discounts, returns and rebates on product revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 approximated $823,000 and $219,000, respectively, and approximated $2,157,000 and $1,004,000, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
The Company, through its majority-owned subsidiary LegalSimpli, offers a subscription based service providing a suite of software applications to its subscribers, principally on a monthly subscription basis. The software suite allows the subscriber/user to convert almost any type of document to another electronic form of editable document, providing ease of editing. For these subscription-based contracts with customers, the Company offers an initial 14-day trial period which is billed at $1.95, followed by a monthly subscription, or a yearly subscription to the Company’s software suite dependent on the subscriber’s enrollment selection. The Company has estimated that there is one product and one performance obligation that is delivered over time, as the Company allows the subscriber to access the suite of services for the time period of the subscription purchased. The Company allows the customer to cancel at any point during the billing cycle, in which case the customers subscription will not be renewed for the following month or year depending on the original subscription. The Company records the revenue over the customers subscription period for monthly and yearly subscribers or at the end of the initial 14 day service period for customers who purchased the initial subscription, as the circumstances dictate. The Company offers a discount for the monthly or yearly subscriptions being purchased, which is deducted at the time of payment at the initiation of the contract term, therefore the Contract price is fixed and determinable at the contract initiation. Monthly and annual subscriptions for the service are recorded net of the Company’s known discount rates. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has accrued contract liabilities, as deferred revenue, of approximately $413,000 and $110,000, respectively, which represent obligations on in-process monthly or yearly contracts with customers and a portion attributable to the yet to be recognized initial 14-day trial period collections.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had the following disaggregated revenue:
| | Three Months September 30, | | | Nine Months September 30, | |

Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable principally consist of amounts due from third-party merchant processors, who process our subscription revenues; the merchant accounts balance receivable represents the charges processed by the merchants that have not yet been deposited with the Company. The unsettled merchant receivable amount normally represents processed sale transactions from the final one to three days of the month, with collections being made by the Company within the first week of the following month. Management determines the need, if any, for an allowance for future credits to be granted to customers, by regularly evaluating aggregate customer refund activity, coupled with the consideration and current economic conditions in its evaluation of an allowance for future refunds and chargebacks. As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had an allowance for bad debt, attributable to single agent relationship amounting to $58,470 and $0, respectively. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the reserve for sales returns and allowances was approximately $294,000 and $83,000, respectively. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the reserve for sales returns and allowances was approximately $83,000 and $43,000, respectively. For all periods presented, as noted above, the sales returns and allowances were recorded as contra assets in arriving at presented accounts receivable, net. The Company has reevaluated the nature of the accounts and determined them to be liabilities.
Inventory
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, inventory primarily consisted of finished goods related to the Company’s brands included in the product revenue section of the table above. Inventory is maintained at the Company’s third-party warehouse location, which is owned by a related party, in Pennsylvania and at Amazon fulfillment centers.
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. Management compares the cost of inventory with the net realizable value and an allowance is made for writing down inventory to net realizable, if lower. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company recorded an inventory reserve in the amount of $57,481 and $12,500, respectively. The increase in our inventory reserve mainly is attributable to the lack of marketability for our INR Wellness product line.
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s inventory consisted of the following:
| | September 30, | | | December 31, | |
| | 2020 | | | 2019 | |
| | | | | | |
Finished Goods - Products | | $ | 1,759,519 | | | | 925,017 | |
Raw materials and packaging components | | | 156,507 | | | | 37,542 | |
Inventory reserve | | | (57,481 | ) | | | (12,500 | ) |
Total Inventory - net | | $ | 1,858,545 | | | $ | 950,059 | |
Product Deposit
Many of our vendors require deposits when a purchase order is placed for goods or fulfillment services. These deposits typically range from 10% to 33% of the total purchased amount. Our vendors include a credit memo within their final invoice, recognizing the deposit amount previously paid. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company has approximately $1,093,000 and $150,000, respectively, of product deposits with multiple vendors for the purchase of raw materials or finished goods. 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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company approximates it’s implicit purchase commitments to be $2.2 million and $300,000, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the vast majority of these product deposits are with one vendor that manufacturers the Company’s finished goods inventory for its Shapiro hair care product line.
Capitalized Software Costs
The Company capitalizes certain internal payroll costs and third-party costs related to internally developed software and amortizes these costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, generally three years. The Company does not sell internally developed software other than through the use of subscription service. Certain development costs not meeting the criteria for capitalization, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 350-40 Internal-Use Software, are expensed as incurred. As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company capitalized $334,585 and $0 related to internally developed software costs which is included in development costs on our statement of operations. As of September 30, 2020, these costs include $40,000 in capitalized stock based compensation for a third-party service provider. During the nine months ending September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company amortized $36,001 and $0 of capitalized software costs, respectively.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are comprised of a customer relationship asset and purchased license with an estimated useful life of three years and indefinite life, respectively. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated lives using the straight-line method. Costs incurred to renew or extend the term of recognized intangible assets are capitalized and amortized over the useful life of the asset.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that an asset may not be recoverable and are grouped with other assets to the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities (asset group). If the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest charges) of an asset group is less than its carrying value and the fair value of an asset group is also less than its carrying value, the assets will be written down by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group exceeded its fair value. However, the carrying amount of a finite-lived intangible asset can never be written down below its fair value. Any loss would be recognized in income from continuing operations in the period in which the determination is made.
Liability to Issue Common Stock
Liability to issue common stock represents liabilities of the Company for failing to issue shares of common stock timely to various consultants and or third-party investors in conjunction with various consulting, service, warrant or stock purchase agreements. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has a liability to issue 326,983 shares of common stock for $218,848 in fair value. During the nine months ended September 30, 3020, the Company received $2,338,349 in cash from investors which was recorded as a liability to issue shares until such time as the shares were issued. The number of shares of common stock pending issuance are fixed, with the corresponding liability subject to change pursuant to the share price at the time of issuance. The initial liability is established using the fair market value of the common stock price on the date of the agreement’s trigger resulting in the need to issue, or the purchase price specified in the stock purchase agreement, dependent on the circumstance.
Income Taxes
The Company files corporate federal, state and local tax returns. Conversion Labs PR and LegalSimpli file tax returns in Puerto Rico, both are limited liability companies and file separate tax returns with any tax liabilities or benefits passing through to its members.
The Company records current and deferred taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This ASC requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between tax basis of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements, based upon the enacted rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company establishes a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company periodically assesses the value of its deferred tax asset, a majority of which has been generated by a history of net operating losses and management determines the necessity for a valuation allowance. ASC 740 also provides a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Using this guidance, a company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position in its financial statements only if it is more likely-than-not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50%) that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company’s tax returns for all years since December 31, 2016, remain open to audit by all related taxing authorities.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718, “Share-Based Payment”. Under this guidance compensation cost generally is recognized at fair value on the date of the grant and amortized over the respective vesting or service period. The fair value of options at the date of grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected option life is derived from assumed exercise rates based upon historical exercise patterns and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of the Company’s common shares using weekly price observations over an observation period that approximates the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate approximates the U.S. Treasury yield curve rate in effect at the time of grant for periods similar to the expected option life. Due to limited history of forfeitures, the estimated forfeiture rate included in the option valuation was zero.
Many of the assumptions require significant judgment and any changes could have a material impact in the determination of stock-based compensation expense.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period presented. Warrants and options to purchase common stock are included as common stock equivalents only when dilutive. Potential common stock equivalents are excluded from dilutive earnings per share when the effects would be antidilutive.
Common stock equivalents comprising shares underlying 5,931,158 options and warrants for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 have not been included in the loss per share calculations as the effects are anti-dilutive.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and the face amount of notes payable approximate fair value for all periods presented.
Concentrations of Risk
The Company grants credit in the normal course of business to its customers. The Company periodically performs credit analysis and monitors the financial condition of its customers to reduce credit risk.
The Company monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests. The Company, at times, maintains balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits.
We are dependent on certain third-party manufacturers, although we believe that other contract manufacturers could be quickly secured if any of our current manufacturers cease to perform adequately. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we utilized two (2) suppliers for fulfillment services, two (2) suppliers for manufacturing finished goods, one (1) supplier for packaging and bottles and one (1) supplier for labeling. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, we purchased 100% of our finished goods from two (2) manufacturers.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting” that expands the scope of ASC Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of ASC Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for certain exemptions specified in the amendment. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim reporting periods within that fiscal year. This standard was adopted on January 1, 2019 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)- Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features” (“ASU 2017-11”). Equity-linked instruments, such as warrants and convertible instruments, may contain down round features that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Under ASU 2017-11, a down round feature will no longer require a freestanding equity-linked instrument (or embedded conversion option) to be classified as a liability that is remeasured at fair value through the income statement (i.e. marked-to-market). However, other features of the equity-linked instrument (or embedded conversion option) must still be evaluated to determine whether liability or equity classification is appropriate. Equity classified instruments are not marked-to-market. For earnings per share (“EPS”) reporting, the ASU requires companies to recognize the effect of the down round feature only when it is triggered by treating it as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. This standard was adopted on January 1, 2020 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Application of New or Revised Accounting Standards—Not Yet Adopted
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40); Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”)”, which addresses issues identified as a result of the complexities associated with applying U.S. GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This update addresses, among other things, the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, targeted improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings-per-share (“EPS”) guidance and amendments to the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity, as well as the related EPS guidance. This update applies to all entities that issue convertible instruments and/or contracts in an entity’s own equity. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. FASB specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year, or January 1, 2021, should the Company elect to early adopt. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2020-06 could have on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements
All other accounting standards updates that have been issued or proposed by the FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

NOTE 4 – NOTES PAYABLE
On May 29, 2018, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Alpha Capital Anstalt (“Alpha”) and Brio Capital Master Fund Ltd. (“Brio”), (collectively, the “2018 SPAs”) .. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued and sold the 2018 SPAs senior secured convertible notes in the aggregate original principal amount of $550,000 (collectively, the “Alpha and Brio Notes”), and warrants to purchase up to 478,261 shares of the Company’s common stock (collectively the “Alpha and Brio Warrants”). The Alpha and Brio Notes matured on May 2019. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Alpha and Brio Notes had compounded annually at the annual rate of twelve percent (12%), subject to adjustments through to their maturity date. The Alpha and Brio Notes were convertible into the Company’s common stock, at the option of the holder, at any time following issuance, unless the conversion or share issuance under the conversion would cause the holder to beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s common stock. The conversion price for the principal and interest, if any, in connection with voluntary conversion by the Holder shall be $1.15 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as defined in the Alpha and Brio Notes. Alpha and Brio have converted $344,642 of these notes including $9,922 of interest as of December 31, 2019, leaving a balance of $187,308. As of September 30, 2020, these notes have been paid off.
On August 15, 2019, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements (the “August 2019 Purchase Agreements”) with two accredited investors, including Alpha and Brio. Pursuant to the terms of the August 2019 Purchase Agreements, the Company issued and sold to the investors convertible promissory notes for the aggregate original principal amount of $1,291,000 (collectively the “August 2019 Notes”), and warrants to purchase up to 935,870 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “August 2019 Warrants”). The August 2019 Notes matured on August 15, 2020 and accrued interest at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, subject to adjustments, prior to maturity, as defined therein. The August 2019 Notes may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock, at the discretion of the holder, at any time following issuance, unless the conversion or share issuance under the conversion would cause the holder to beneficially own shares in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s common stock. The conversion price for the principal and interest, if any, in connection with voluntary conversion by the investors shall be $1.15 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment as defined therein. In conjunction with the August 2019 Notes, the Company issued the August 2019 Warrants with an exercise price of $1.40 per share. The fair value of August 2019 Warrants was determined to be $569,147 based on the use of Black-Scholes pricing model. The August 2019 Warrants were evaluated by management and deemed to be equity-linked awards subject to ASC 810, Derivatives and Hedging. The August 2019 Notes contained an original issue discount of 20% or $215,250 which is the difference between the note’s face amount of $1,21,000 and the cash proceeds received from the investors. As part of this financing, the Company paid debt issuance costs $284,070 which are placed as a contra-debt account and were amortized over the life of the loan.
On February 25, 2020, the Company entered into a Note Repayment and Warrant Amendment Agreement with Alpha and Brio, whereby the Company agreed to repay the outstanding balance of Alpha and Brio’s August 2019 Notes in the amount of $1,291,000. As a result of this transaction, the Company accelerated debt discounts for warrants, issuance costs and original issue discount of $500,145, which was recognized through interest expense on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statement of operations. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the gross balance payable for these notes was $0 and $1,291,000, respectively. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has cumulatively amortized $568,322 and $404,393 of the debt discounts costs including debt issuance costs, original issue discount, and discount for warrants issued in connection with the debt transaction, all of which is included in interest expense on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statement of operations. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the net balance payable for these notes was $0 and $627,426, respectively.
On February 18, 2020, the Company entered into two purchase agreements (the “C6 Purchase Agreements”) for the purchase and sale of future revenue with C6 Capital, LLC (“C6”). Pursuant to the terms of the C6 Purchase Agreements, the Company issued and sold to C6 two loan agreements in the aggregate original principal amount of $1,020,000. These loans contain an original purchase discount of 18%, or $270,000, in total, or $135,000 per each of the two agreements. C6 paid $375,000 per loan agreement for a total of $750,000. The Company paid debt issuance costs to C6 of $7,500 per agreement, or $15,000 in total, which was placed as a contra-debt account and will be amortized over the life of the loan. The loan agreements require the Company to pay all future receipts of the Company without recourse until such time as the purchased amount has been repaid. The loan agreements require the Company to make a daily average payment of $8,094 during the term of such agreements. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has made $1,020,000 in principal payments under these loan agreements. As of September 30, 2020, the gross balance payable for these loan agreements was $0, and the balance of the loan net of discounts was $0. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company has amortized $285,000 of debt discount through interest expense on the accompanying unaudited statement of operations.
Beginning May 21, 2020 through May 27, 2020 the Company, issued convertible promissory notes (the “May 2020 Notes”) to five (5) accredited investors (each a “May 2020 Investor”, and collectively, the “May 2020 Investors”). The aggregate principal amount of the May 2020 Notes is $1,000,000 for which the Company received gross proceeds of $1,000,000. The May 2020 Notes were due and payable six months from the date of issuance. The May 2020 Notes entitle each holder to 12% interest upon Maturity, or $120,000. The May 2020 Notes may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time following the date of issuance at a conversion price of $2.50 per share, subject to adjustment. During the week ended November 6, 2020, all accredited investors exercised their conversion rights under the May 2020 Notes. The Company is preparing to issue the underlying shares effective November 12, 2020.
As an inducement to enter into the transaction, the Company issued an aggregate of 133,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock to the May 2020 Investors. In the event of a default, the outstanding balance of the May 2020 Notes shall increase to 130% and shall become immediately due and payable upon notice to the Company.
In June 2020, the Company and its subsidiaries received loans in the aggregate amount of approximately $242,000 (the “PPP Loan”) under the new Paycheck Protection Program legislation administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. These loans bear interest at one percent per annum (1.0%) and mature five years from the date of the first disbursement. The proceeds of the PPP Loan must be used for payroll costs, lease payments on agreements entered into before February 15, 2020 and utility payments under lease agreements entered into before February 1, 2020. At least 60% of the proceeds must be used for payroll costs and certain other expenses and no more than 40% may be used on non-payroll expenses. Proceeds from the PPP Loan used by the Company for the approved expense categories may be fully forgiven by the Small Business Administration if the Company satisfies applicable employee headcount and compensation requirements. The Company currently believes that a majority of the PPP Loan proceeds will qualify for debt forgiveness; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will qualify for forgiveness from the Small Business Administration until it occurs. As at September 30, 2020, the $242,000 PPP loan proceeds are reflected on the Company’s balance sheet as current liabilities, within loans payable.
On July 27, 2020, the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of up to $1,500,000 to an accredited investor. The Company received $600,000 in aggregate gross proceeds. Any additional advances under this note would require the approval of the lender in its sole discretion. This note accrues interest at a rate of one and one-quarter percent (1.25%) per month and carried a maturity date of January 24, 2021. The note balance of $607,500, including accrued interest of $7,500, was repaid in full on August 28, 2020 with the issuance of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (see Note 5).
Total interest expense on notes payable, inclusive of amortization of debt discounts, amounted to $1,313,010 and $430,956 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Total interest expense on notes payable, inclusive of amortization of debt discounts, amounted to $291,096 and $130,936 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
NOTE 5 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
The Company has authorized the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value, of which 5,000 shares are designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and 4,995,000 shares of preferred stock remain undesignated.
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
On August 27, 2020, the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware delivered confirmation of the effective filing of the Company’s Certificate of Designations of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which established 5,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, having such designations, rights and preferences as set forth therein (the “Series B Designations”).
The shares of Series B Preferred Stock have a stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Series B Stated Value”) and are convertible into Common Stock at the election of the holder of the Series B Preferred Stock, at a price of $3.25 per share ($0.65 pre-split), subject to adjustment (the “Conversion Price”). Each holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, with respect to each share of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding and held by such holder, dividends at the rate of thirteen percent (13%) per annum (the “Preferred Dividends”).
The Preferred Dividends shall accrue and be cumulative from and after the date of issuance of any share of Series B Preferred Stock on a daily basis computed on the basis of a 365-day year and compounded quarterly. The Preferred Dividends are payable only when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and the Company has no obligation to pay such Preferred Dividends; provided, however, if the Board determines to pay any Preferred Dividends, the Company shall pay such dividends in kind in a number of additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “PIK Shares”) equal to the quotient of (i) the aggregate amount of the Preferred Dividends being paid by the Company in respect of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder, divided by (ii) the Series B Issue Price (as defined in the Series B Designations); provided, further, that, at the election of the purchasers holding a majority of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding, in their sole discretion, such Preferred Dividends shall be paid in cash or a combination of cash and PIK Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Preferred Dividends may be paid in cash at the election of the Company if, and only if, (A) the purchasers holding a majority of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding consent in writing to the payment of any specific dividend in cash, or (B) at any time following the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the Closing, (i) the prevailing VWAP of the Common Stock over the trailing ninety (90)-day period is equal to or greater than $3.00 per share (subject to adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassifications, combinations, reverse stock splits or other similar events), and (ii) the average trading volume of the Common Stock over the trailing ninety (90)-day period is equal to or greater than 40,000 shares (200,000 pre-split) of Common Stock per day, or (C) at any time following the thirty-six (36) month anniversary of the Closing.
The holders of Series B Preferred Stock rank senior to the Common Stock with respect to payment of dividends and rights upon liquidation and will vote together with the holders of the Common Stock on an as-converted basis, subject to beneficial ownership limitations, on each matter submitted to a vote of holders of Common Stock (whether at a meeting of shareholders or by written consent). In addition, as further described in the Series B Designations, if at least 30% of the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock sold at the Closing are outstanding, the Company will not take certain corporate actions without the affirmative vote at a meeting (or the written consent with or without a meeting) of the purchasers holding a majority of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding.
If at any time following the twelve (12)-month anniversary of the Closing (A) the prevailing VWAP (as defined in the Series B Designations) of the Common Stock over the trailing ninety (90)-day period is equal to or greater than $15.00 per share ($3.00 pre-split)(subject to adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassifications, combinations, reverse stock splits or other similar events), and (B) the average trading volume of the Common Stock over the trailing ninety (90)-day period is equal to or greater than 40,000 shares (200,000 pre-split) of Common Stock per day, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to elect to convert all, but not less than all, of the then-outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock by delivering written notice of such election (the “Forced Conversion Notice”) to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock within ten (10) Business Days following the satisfaction of the criteria of clauses (A) and (B) above (a “Forced Conversion”). On the Forced Conversion Date (as defined in the Series B Designations), each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be converted into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of: (x) the sum of (1) the Series B Issue Price, plus (2) any accrued but unpaid dividends on such share of Series B Preferred Stock as of immediately prior to the conversion thereof, including the Preferred Dividends, divided by (y) the Conversion Price of such share of Series B Preferred Stock in effect at the time of conversion. The Forced Conversion Notice shall state (i) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such Holder that are proposed to be converted, and (ii) the date on which such Forced Conversion shall occur, which date shall be the thirtieth (30th) day following the date such Forced Conversion Notice is deemed given (a “Forced Conversion Date”).
In the event of a Forced Conversion, a holder may elect, in its sole discretion and in lieu of the Forced Conversion, to have each then-outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder be redeemed by the Company (a “Forced Conversion Redemption”) by delivering written notice to the Company (a “Forced Conversion Redemption Notice” and the date such Holder delivers such notice to the Corporation, a “Forced Conversion Redemption Notice Date”) prior to the Forced Conversion Date, which notice shall state (A) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock that are to be redeemed, (B) the date on which such Forced Conversion Redemption shall occur, which date shall be the tenth (10th) Business Day following the applicable Forced Conversion Redemption Notice Date (the “Forced Conversion Redemption Date”) and (C) the wire instructions for the payment of the applicable amount owed to such holder. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock that is the subject of a Forced Conversion Redemption shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price per share equal to the sum of (1) the Series B Issue Price, plus (2) any accrued but unpaid dividends on such share of Series B Preferred Stock, including the Preferred Dividends (the “Per Share Forced Conversion Redemption Price”).
At any time (A) after December 31, 2020, if a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock are not available to effect the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding into Common Stock and the exercise of the Warrants, or (B) after the three (3) year anniversary of the closing, each holder shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion (in addition to and not to the exclusion of any remedy such holder may have at law or in equity), to require that the Company redeem (an “Optional Redemption”), to the fullest extent permitted by law and out of funds lawfully available therefor, all or any portion of such holder’s Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding by delivering written notice thereof; provided, however, that right of the holders to cause an Optional Redemption under clause (B) above shall expire at such time as (i) the Company’s Common Stock is listed for trading on a National Securities Exchange (as defined in the Series B Designations) and (ii) the VWAP of the Common Stock over any ninety (90)-day period is equal to or greater than $10.00 per share ($2.00 pre-split), subject to adjustment.
Securities Purchase Agreement
On August 28, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an investor (the “Investor”), to purchase from the Company an aggregate of 3,500 units (the “Units”), at a purchase price of $1,000 per Unit, each consisting of (i) one share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and (ii) a warrant to purchase 400 shares of common stock of the Company. The aggregate purchase price for the Units is $3,500,000, of which (i) $2,892,500 is being paid in cash at the closing of the transaction and (ii) $607,500, is being paid by the conversion of the outstanding principal and interest due on the Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) issued by the Company to the Investor on July 27, 2020. The Purchase Agreement provides that the Investor may not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Series B Preferred Stock or warrants (or the shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder) for a period of one year following the closing.
As a result of the Purchase Agreement, the Company recorded a deemed dividend to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock of $3,500,000 for the value of the warrants and beneficial conversion feature in excess of the purchase price. Additionally, the company recorded a put liability of $3,500,000 for the value of the Series B Preferred Stock redemption feature. This liability was increased by $41,137 for the 13% dividend accrued for the Series B Preferred stockholders for a balance of $3,541,137 as of September 30, 2020.

As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Conversion Labs, Inc. (formerly known as Immudyne, Inc.), our wholly subsidiary Conversion Labs PR, LLC (formerly Immudyne PR LLC, now “Conversion Labs PR”), a Puerto Rico limited liability company (“Conversion Labs PR”, or “CLPR”) and our majority-owned subsidiaries LegalSimpli Software, LLC, a Puerto Rico limited liability company (“LegalSimpli”). Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars.
Corporate History
Conversion Labs, Inc., was formed in the State of Delaware on May 24, 1994, under our prior name, Immudyne, Inc. We changed our name to Conversion Labs, Inc. on June 22, 2018. Further, in connection with changing its name, the Company changed its trading symbol to CVLB. On April 1, 2016, our majority-owned subsidiary, Immudyne PR LLC (“Immudyne PR”), which was initially formed for the purpose of a joint venture with the original owners of one of our skincare products, amended and restated its operating agreement whereby we increased our ownership and voting interest in Immudyne PR to 78.2%. Concurrent with the name change of the parent company to Conversion Labs, Inc. completed in 2018, Immudyne PR was renamed to Conversion Labs PR LLC (now known as “Conversion Labs PR”). On April 25, 2019, the operating agreement of Conversion Labs PR was amended and restated in its entirety after acquiring the remaining minority interest in the Conversion Labs PR, which is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
In June 2018, Conversion Labs closed the strategic acquisition of 51% of LegalSimpli Software, LLC (“LegalSimpli”), a software as a service (SaaS) application for converting, editing, signing and sharing PDF documents. In addition to LegalSimpli’s growth business model, this acquisition added deep search engine optimization and search engine marketing expertise to the Company.
In early 2019, we also launched a service-based business under the name Conversion Labs Media LLC, which was to be used to run e-commerce marketing campaigns for other online businesses. However, this business was discontinued in 2019 in order to focus on our core business as well the expansion of our telehealth opportunities.
Business Overview
The Company is a direct response healthcare company that provides a convenient, cost-effective and smarter way for consumers to access high quality Over The Counter (OTC) products and prescription medications. The U.S. healthcare system is undergoing a paradigm shift largely due to new technologies and the emergence of direct-to-consumer healthcare. We believe the traditional model of visiting a doctor’s office, receiving a physical prescription, visiting a neighborhood pharmacy, and returning to see a doctor for follow up care or prescription refills is inefficient, costly to patients, and discourages many patients from seeking much needed medical care. Direct-to-consumer telemedicine companies, like our Company, offer patients immediate and virtual treatment from licensed physicians, and the home delivery of prescription medications, devices and diagnostics bundled with over-the counter wellness products.
We have built a platform that allows us to efficiently launch telehealth and wellness product lines wherever we determine there is a market need. Our platform is supported by a driven team of digital marketing and branding experts, data analysts, designers, and engineers focused on building enduring brands.
Telemedicine Platform
Beginning in 2019, we have made significant investments in our telemedicine technology platform which is the backbone of our physician network, pharmacy provider, CRM system, and third-party advertising platforms. This platform facilitates patient consultations, virtual prescriptions, fulfillment, and follow-up consultations.
Telehealth Brands
Our telehealth brands have been built with one singular focus in mind: to become the leading provider of quality healthcare in a virtual setting. To this end, we work with our physicians, our advisors, and our patients to ensure that we can provide the ultimate quality of care. We believe the long-term success of our telehealth business will be driven primarily by the outstanding care we provide in our services and product offerings. Our current brand portfolio is comprised of telehealth brands respectively targeting three market segments: hair loss, men’s health, and emergency medications.
Majority Owned Subsidiary: PDFSimpli
PDFSimpli is a PDF conversion software product, which was acquired through the purchase of 51% of the membership interests of LegalSimpli a Puerto Rico limited liability company, which operates a marketing-driven software solutions business. PDFSimpli enables users to convert, edit and sign PDF documents. Since its launch, PDFSimpli has converted or edited over 5 terabytes of documents for customers from the legal, financial, real-estate and academic sectors.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
We are closely monitoring how the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus is affecting our employees, customers and business operations. We have developed preparedness plans to help safeguard the safety of our employees and customers, while safely continuing business operations.
Due to the global spread of the outbreak, the severity of the pandemic in New York, California, and Puerto Rico where we have corporate offices, and in line with guidance from public health officials, we have temporarily restricted access to our offices and implemented a mandatory remote work policy during this period. Our offices will remain closed until we are able to safely and responsibly re-open them in accordance with governmental and public health guidance, as well as health and safety policies tailored to our operations.
As a result of the early measures we took in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to protect our employees and business operations, our business has not been materially negatively impacted during these extraordinary times. We have experienced relatively minor impacts on our inventory availability and delivery capacity since the outbreak, none of which has materially impacted our ability to service our customers. We have taken measures to bolster key aspects of our supply chain to support our continued growth. We continue to work with our existing manufacturing, logistics and other supply chain partners to build key processes to ensure our ability to service our customers.
We are also carefully monitoring shifting consumer behavior from brick and mortar retail and physical healthcare offices to our online platform. We have observed continued strength in our e-commerce sales since the end of the quarter ended September 30, 2020, due in part to changing consumer behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic and widespread awareness and acceptance of telemedicine. Telemedicine businesses, such as ours, have benefitted from increased coverage and visibility due to quarantine measures and policies adopted widely across the country. We believe the increased awareness of telehealth is reflected in the rapid growth we are seeing across our telehealth brands.

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were approximately $11 million, an increase of 252% compared to approximately $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in revenues was attributable to both the increase in product revenue of 283% and an increase in software revenue of 136%. Product revenue accounts for 86% of total revenue and has increased in the three months ended September 30, 2020 due to an increase in online sales demand, with the majority of this increase attributable to the nationwide lockdown resulting from COVID-19 driving increased consumer online purchases. Software revenue accounts for 14% of total revenue and has steadily increased quarter over quarter due to a combination of higher demand, increased market awareness, continued marketing campaign expansion, as well as the effects of the nationwide lockdown resulting from COVID-19.
Total cost of revenues consist of the cost of (1) product revenues, which primarily include product material costs and fulfillment costs directly attributable to the production of our products held for sale and (2) the cost of software revenue consisting primarily of credit card processing fees and information technology fees related to providing the services made available on our online platform. Total cost of revenue increased by approximately 302% to approximately $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The combined cost of revenue increase was due to increased product costs related to our improved product sale volumes, and the related increases in merchant and other processing fees incurred due to our combined higher sales volumes when compared to the prior year’s three month period September 30, 2019.
Gross profit increased by approximately 238% to approximately $8.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to approximately $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as a result of increased combined sales, partially offset by a percentage increases in our costs to produce those revenues, principally attributable to increased product costs. Product costs increased to 30% of associated product revenues experienced during the three months ended September 30, 2020, from 25% of associated product revenues during the three month period ended September 30, 2019. Total gross profit as a percentage of total revenues was 75% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 78% for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The absolute decrease in total gross margin of 3% (relative decrease of 4%) was primarily due to increased product costs set forth immediately above resulting from the impact of COVID-19 related disruptions to our product supply chain causing increased costs to procure our production inputs.

| |

| |
(v) | Development costs: This mainly relates to third-party technology services for developing and maintaining our online platforms.

The absolute decrease of 3.8% (relative decrease of 4.9%) in gross profit was principally attributable to higher product costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, resulting from the use of new suppliers, at slightly higher costs, resulting from the impact of COVID-19 related disruptions to our product supply chain, causing increased costs to procure our production inputs. The new suppliers were also required to supplement our increased production needs to meet our increased product demand.
Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses | | $ | 43,206,959 | | | $ | 8,881,099 | |
Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were approximately $43.2 million, as compared to approximately $8.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This represents an increase of 387%, or $34.3 million. The increase is primarily attributable to:
(i) | Selling and marketing expenses: This mainly consists of online marketing and advertising expenses. During the nine months ended September 30,2020, the Company had an increase of approximately $16.1 million, or 288% in selling and marketing costs resulting from additional sales and marketing initiatives to drive the current nine months ended September 30, 2020 sales growth reported above, and is expected to maintain sustained revenue growth throughout the remaining balance of the year ending December 31, 2020, and beyond in Fiscal 2021, based on the Company’s recurring revenue subscription based sales model. |
| |
(ii) | General and administrative expenses: During the nine month period ended September 30, 2020, stock based compensation was $16.9 million, (1) with the majority related to a restricted share issuance liability attributable to the attainment of a performance threshold in the period (specifically in the three months ended September 30, 2020), (2) coupled with the issuance expense associated with the probability of future performance threshold attainment. This category also consists of payroll expenses for executive management, amortization expense and legal and professional fees. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company has had an increase of approximately $18.1 million in general and administrative expenses, primarily related to the increase in stock-based compensation costs referenced above, and other increases in infrastructure expenses incurred to support the sales volume increases. |
(iii) | Other operating expenses: This consists of rent, insurance, royalty expense, bank charges and IT services for our online products. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had a decrease of approximately $36,000, primarily related to increases in the general cost environment necessary to support the Company’s sales growth, coupled with a bad debt charge of $58,000 recognized on the settlement of a sales commission receivable write-off which became uncollectible during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, offset by decreases in royalty payouts and a decrease in an IT service subscription that was terminated in early 2020. |
| |
(iv) | Customer service expenses: This consists of payroll and benefit expenses related to the Company’s customer service department located in Puerto Rico. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had an increase of approximately $80,000, primarily related to increases in headcount in the Company’s customer service department. |
| |
(v) | Development costs: This mainly relates to third-party technology services for developing and maintaining our online platforms. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had an increase of approximately $131,000, primarily resulting from technology platform improvements for LegalSimpli and amortization expenses at CLPR. |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |
| | 2020 | | | 2019 | |
Interest expense | | $ | 1,313,010 | | | $ | 430,956 | |
Total | | $ | 1,313,010 | | | $ | 430,956 | |
Other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased by $882,054 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in other expense, interest expense, is primarily attributable to increased debt.
Working Capital
| | September 30, 2020 | | | December 31, 2019 | |
Current assets | | $ | 4,652,990 | | | $ | 2,747,102 | |
Current liabilities | | | 9,435,904 | | | | 3,975,442 | |
Working capital | | $ | (4,782,914 | ) | | $ | (1,228,340 | ) |
Working capital (deficit) had a negative turn of approximately $3.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Contributing to this decline in working capital included current assets increasing by approximately $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30,2020. This increase in current assets is attributable to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $190,000, being offset by increases in accounts receivable (approximately $317,000), and inventory and product deposits (combined at approximately $1.9 million). Current liabilities increased by $5.5 million which was primarily attributable to an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as a result of the Company extending payables and credit terms with vendors during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net (decrease) increase in cash | | $ | (189,987 | ) | | $ | 600,799 | |
Since inception, the Company has funded operations through the collections from revenues provided by the sales of its products, issuances of common and preferred stock equivalents, receipt of loans and advances from officers and directors and the issuance of convertible notes to third-party investors.
Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared with net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $92,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the significant factors contributing to the cash used in operations were the nine month, September 30, 2020 loss of approximately $26.8 million (inclusive of $16.9 million in stock based compensation charges) , principally offset by the Company’s increase in accounts payable of approximately $4.2 million.
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was approximately $731,000, as compared with net cash used in investing activities of $500,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to continued payments on the Company’s purchase of LegalSimpli of $400,000 and the cash paid for capitalized software costs of approximately $331,000.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $6,135,981, as compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $1,008,303 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, financing activities consisted of proceeds from notes payable of $2,350,000, proceeds of $2,892,500 from the issuance of mezzanine equity, and cash receipts for share issuances of $2,088,349, cash proceeds from the sales of warrants of $622,763 and proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $300,400, which were offset by the repayment of notes payable of approximately $2,500,000, distributions of noncontrolling interests of $121,223 and payment for debt issuance costs of $15,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources Outlook
The Company has funded operations in the past through the sales of its products, issuance of common stock and through loans and advances from officers and directors. The Company’s continued operations are dependent upon obtaining an increase in its sale volumes and the continued financial support from officers and directors, obtaining funding from third-party sources or the issuance of additional shares of common stock. See Subsequent Event Note 9 for a further discussion of a private placement offering, which closed on November 3, 2020, yielding approximately $13.2 million in net proceeds to the Company after deduction of placement fees and other offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds for customer acquisition, as well as for general corporate purposes.
Going Concern Evaluation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has an accumulated deficit approximating $47.9 million and has experienced significant losses from its operations.
Based on the Company’s cash balance as of September 30, 2020, and projected cash needs, management estimates that it will need an additional $7.2 million through the next 12 months. The Company has also closed a private placement offering, discussed in “Liquidity” above, and further in Note 9, “Subsequent Events”. Although management has been successful to date in raising necessary funding, there can be no assurance that sales revenue will substantially increase or that any required future financing can be successfully completed on a timely basis, or on terms acceptable to the Company. 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.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our financial statements. We believe that the accounting policies below are critical for one to fully understand and evaluate our financial condition and results of operations.
Revenue Recognition
The Company records revenue under the adoption of ASC 606 by analyzing exchanges with its customers using a five-step analysis:
1. | Identify the contract |
2. | Identify performance obligations |
3. | Determine the transaction price |
4. | Allocate the transaction price |
5. | Recognize revenue |
For the Company’s product-based contracts with customers, the Company has determined that there is one performance obligation, which is the delivery of the product; this performance obligation is transferred at a discrete point in time. The Company generally records sales of finished products once the customer places and pays for the order, with the product being simultaneously shipped by a third-party fulfillment service provider; in limited cases, title does not pass until the product reaches the customer’s delivery site, in these limited cases, recognition of revenue should be deferred until that time, however the Company does not have a process to properly record the recognition of revenue if orders are not immediately shipped, and deems the impact to be immaterial. In all cases, delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer, which is usually commensurate upon shipment of the product. In the case of its product-based contracts, the Company provides a subscription sensitive service based on the recurring shipment of products and records the related revenue under the subscription agreements subsequent to receiving the monthly product order, recording the revenue at the time it fulfills the shipment obligation to the customer.
For its product-based contracts with customers, the Company records an estimate for provisions of discounts, returns, allowances, customer rebates and other adjustments for its product shipments, and are reflected as contra revenues in arriving at reported net revenues. The Company’s discounts and customer rebates are known at the time of sale, correspondingly, the Company reduces gross product sales for such discounts and customer rebates. The Company estimates customer returns and allowances based on information derived from historical transaction detail, and accounts for such provisions, as contra revenue, during the same period in which the related revenues are earned. The Company has determined that the population of its product-based contracts with customers are homogenous, supporting the ability to record estimates for returns and allowances to be applied to the entire product-based portfolio population.
The Company, through its majority-owned subsidiary LegalSimpli, offers a subscription based service providing a suite of software applications to its subscribers, principally on a monthly subscription basis. The software suite allows the subscriber/user to convert almost any type of document to another electronic form of editable document, providing ease of editing. For these subscription-based contracts with customers, the Company offers an initial 14-day trial period which is billed at $1.95, followed by a monthly subscription, or a yearly subscription to the Company’s software suite dependent on the subscriber’s enrollment selection. The Company has estimated that there is one product and one performance obligation that is delivered over time, as the Company allows the subscriber to access the suite of services for the time period of the subscription purchased. The Company allows the customer to cancel at any point during the billing cycle, in which case the customers subscription will not be renewed for the following month or year depending on the original subscription. The Company records the revenue over the customers subscription period for monthly and yearly subscribers or at the end of the initial 14 day service period for customers who purchased the initial subscription, as the circumstances dictate. The Company offers a discount for the monthly or yearly subscriptions being purchased, which is deducted at the time of payment at the initiation of the contract term, therefore the Contract price is fixed and determinable at the contract initiation. Monthly and annual subscriptions for the service are recorded net of the Company’s known discount rates. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has accrued contract liabilities, as deferred revenue, of approximately $413,000 and $110,000, respectively, which represent obligations on in-process monthly or yearly contracts with customers and a portion attributable to the yet to be recognized initial 14-day trial period collections.
Customer discounts, returns and rebates on product revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 approximated $2.2 million and $1 million, respectively. Customer discounts and allowances on software revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 approximated $545,000 and $241,000, respectively.
Capitalized Software Costs
The Company capitalizes certain internal payroll costs and third-party costs related to internally developed software and amortizes these costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, generally three years. The Company does not sell internally developed software other than through the use of subscription service. Certain development costs not meeting the criteria for capitalization, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 350-40 Internal-Use Software, are expensed as incurred. As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company capitalized $334,585 and $0 related to internally developed software costs which is included in development costs on our statement of operations. As of September 30, 2020, these costs include $40,000 in capitalized stock based compensation for a third-party service provider. During the nine months ending September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company amortized $28,278 and $0 of capitalized software costs, respectively.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are comprised of a customer relationship asset and purchased license with an estimated useful life of three years and indefinite lived, respectively. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated lives using the straight-line method. Costs incurred to renew or extend the term of recognized intangible assets are capitalized and amortized over the useful life of the asset.
Income Taxes
The Company files corporate federal and state tax returns. Conversion Labs PR and LegalSimpli file tax returns in Puerto Rico, both are limited liability companies and file separate tax returns with any tax liabilities or benefits passing through to its members.
The Company records current and deferred taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This ASC requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between tax basis of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements, based upon the enacted rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company establishes a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company periodically assesses the value of its deferred tax asset, a majority of which has been generated by a history of net operating losses and management determines the necessity for a valuation allowance. ASC 740 also provides a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Using this guidance, a company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position in its financial statements only if it is more likely-than-not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50%) that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company’s tax returns for all years since December 31, 2016, remain open to audit by all related taxing authorities.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718, “Share-Based Payment”. Under this guidance compensation cost generally is recognized at fair value on the date of the grant and amortized over the respective vesting or service period. The fair value of options at the date of grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected option life is derived from assumed exercise rates based upon historical exercise patterns and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of the Company’s common stock shares using weekly price observations over an observation period that approximates the expected life of the options. The risk-free rate approximates the U.S. Treasury yield curve rate in effect at the time of grant for periods similar to the expected option life. Due to limited history of forfeitures, the estimated forfeiture rate included in the option valuation was zero.
Many of the assumptions require significant judgment and any changes could have a material impact in the determination of stock-based compensation expense.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features” (“ASU 2017-11”). Equity-linked instruments, such as warrants, and convertible instruments may contain down round features that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Under ASU 2017-11, a down round feature will no longer require a freestanding equity-linked instrument (or embedded conversion option) to be classified as a liability that is remeasured at fair value through the income statement (i.e. marked-to-market). However, other features of the equity-linked instrument (or embedded conversion option) must still be evaluated to determine whether liability or equity classification is appropriate. Equity classified instruments are not marked-to-market. For earnings per share (“EPS”) reporting, the ASU requires companies to recognize the effect of the down round feature only when it is triggered by treating it as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. This standard was adopted on January 1, 2020 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Application of New or Revised Accounting Standards—Not Yet Adopted
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40); Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”)”, which addresses issues identified as a result of the complexities associated with applying U.S. GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This update addresses, among other things, the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, targeted improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings-per-share (“EPS”) guidance and amendments to the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity, as well as the related EPS guidance. This update applies to all entities that issue convertible instruments and/or contracts in an entity’s own equity. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. FASB specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year, or January 1, 2021, should the Company elect to early adopt. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2020-06 could have on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the following material weakness(es) in internal control over financial reporting described below.
● | Lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company’s board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; |
● | Inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; |
● | Insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC Guidelines; |
● | Inadequate security and restricted access to computer systems including a disaster recovery plan; |
● | Lack of formal written policy for the approval, identification and authorization of related party transactions; and |
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, except as set forth below. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Company’s common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors included in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2020, in addition to other information contained in our reports and in this quarterly report in evaluating the Company and its business before purchasing shares of our common stock. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company’s business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected due to any of those risks. In addition:
We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.
As our business strategies develop, we must add additional managerial, operational, financial and other personnel. Future growth will impose significant added responsibilities on members of management, including:
● | identifying, recruiting, integrating, maintaining, and motivating additional personnel; |
● | managing our internal development efforts effectively, while complying with our contractual obligations to contractors and other third parties; and |
● | improving our operational, financial and management controls, reporting systems, and procedures. |
Our future financial performance will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively manage any future growth, which might be impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, and our management may also have to divert a disproportionate amount of its attention away from day-to-day activities in order to devote a substantial amount of time to managing these growth activities. This lack of long-term experience working together may adversely impact our senior management team’s ability to effectively manage our business and growth.
We currently rely, and for the foreseeable future will continue to rely, in substantial part on certain independent organizations, advisors and consultants to provide certain services. There can be no assurance that the services of these independent organizations, advisors and consultants will continue to be available to us on a timely basis when needed, or that we can find qualified replacements. In addition, if we are unable to effectively manage our outsourced activities or if the quality or accuracy of the services provided by consultants is compromised for any reason, we may not be able to advance our business. There can be no assurance that we will be able to manage our existing consultants or find other competent outside contractors and consultants on economically reasonable terms, if at all. If we are not able to effectively expand our organization by hiring new employees and expanding our groups of consultants and contractors, we may not be able to successfully implement the tasks necessary to further develop our business initiatives and, accordingly, may not achieve our research, development, and commercialization goals.
We face risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks, which could significantly disrupt our operations.
Our business and operating results could be adversely impacted by the effects of epidemics, including but not limited to the current COVID-19 pandemic. We are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 global outbreak, although there remains significant uncertainty related to the public health situation globally. Our results of operations could be adversely affected to the extent that such coronavirus or any other epidemic generally harms the global economy.
