NOTE 1 – NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Corporate History

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

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

In June 2018, the Company closed the strategic acquisition of 51% of LegalSimpli Software, LLC, which operates a software as a service application for converting, editing, signing, and sharing PDF documents called PDFSimpli. In addition to LegalSimpli Software, LLC’s growth business model, this acquisition added deep search engine optimization and search engine marketing expertise to the Company. On July 15, 2021, LegalSimpli Software, LLC, changed its name to WorkSimpli Software LLC, (“WorkSimpli”). Effective January 22, 2021, the Company consummated a transaction to restructure the ownership of WorkSimpli and concurrently increased its ownership interest in WorkSimpli to 85.6%. Effective September 30, 2022, two option agreements were exercised which further restructured the ownership of WorkSimpli. As a result, the Company’s ownership interest in WorkSimpli decreased to 73.6%. Effective December 15, 2022, LifeMD PR, LLC merged into WorkSimpli, with WorkSimpli being the surviving entity.

Effective March 31, 2023, the Company redeemed 500 membership interest units in WorkSimpli and, as a result, the Company’s ownership interest in WorkSimpli increased to 74.1%. Effective June 30, 2023, an option agreement was exercised which further restructured the ownership of WorkSimpli. As a result, the Company’s ownership interest in WorkSimpli decreased to 73.3%. See Note 8 for additional information.

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

Nature of Business

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

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

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

In the first quarter of 2022, we launched our virtual primary care offering under the LifeMD brand, LifeMD Primary Care. This offering provides patients with 24/7 access to an affiliated high-quality provider for their primary care, urgent care, and chronic care needs.

In April 2023, we launched our GLP-1 Weight Management program providing primary care, weight loss, holistic healthcare, lab work and prescription services, as appropriate, to patients seeking to access a medically supported weight loss solution. In September 2024, we expanded our Weight Management program with an alternative designed for patients who are unable or unwilling to use GLP-1 medications. This treatment plan consists of three oral medications – metformin, bupropion, and topiramate.

Business and Subsidiary History

In June 2018, the Company closed the strategic acquisition of 51% of WorkSimpli. As a result of various ownership restructurings, the Company’s ownership interest in WorkSimpli is 73.3% as of December 31, 2023. See Note 8 for additional information.

On January 18, 2022, the Company acquired Cleared, a nationwide allergy telehealth platform that provides personalized treatments for allergy, asthma, and immunology. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired all outstanding shares of Cleared at closing in exchange for a $460 thousand upfront cash payment, and two non-contingent milestone payments for a total of $3.46 million ($1.73 million each on or before the first and second anniversaries of the closing date). The Company purchased a convertible note from a strategic pharmaceutical investor for $507 thousand which was converted upon closing of the Cleared acquisition. The Company also agreed to a performance-based earnout based on Cleared’s future net sales, payable in cash or shares at the Company’s discretion. On February 4, 2023, the Company entered into the First Amendment (the “Cleared First Amendment”) to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated January 11, 2022, between the Company and the sellers of Cleared (the “Cleared Stock Purchase Agreement”). The Cleared Stock Purchase Agreement was amended to, among other things: (i) reduce the total purchase price by $250 thousand to a total of $3.67 million; (ii) change the timing of the payment of the purchase price to $460 thousand paid at closing (which has already been paid by the Company), with the remaining amount to be paid in five quarterly installments beginning on or before February 6, 2023 and ending January 15, 2024; (iii) remove all “earn-out” payments payable by the Company to the sellers; and (iv) remove certain representations and warranties of the Company and sellers in connection with the transaction (See Note 3). The Company issued the following shares of common stock to the sellers of Cleared under the Cleared First Amendment: (1) 337,895 shares on February 6, 2023, (2) 455,319 shares on April 17, 2023, (3) 158,129 shares on July 17, 2023, (4) 117,583 shares on October 17, 2023 and (5) 95,821 shares on January 16, 2024.

In February 2022, WorkSimpli closed on an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “ResumeBuild APA”) with East Fusion FZCO, a Dubai, UAE corporation (the “Seller”), whereby WorkSimpli acquired substantially all of the assets associated with the Seller’s business, offering subscription-based resume building software through software as a service online platforms (the “Acquisition”). WorkSimpli paid $4.0 million to the Seller upon closing. The Seller is also entitled to a minimum of $500 thousand to be paid out in quarterly payments equal to the greater of 15% of net profits (as defined in the ResumeBuild APA) or approximately $63 thousand, for a two-year period ending on the two-year anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition. As of September 30, 2024, WorkSimpli has paid the Seller $500 thousand in accordance with the ResumeBuild APA. WorkSimpli borrowed the purchase price from the Company pursuant to a promissory note with the obligation secured by an equity purchase guarantee agreement and a stock option pledge agreement from Fitzpatrick Consulting, LLC and its sole member Sean Fitzpatrick, who is Co-Founder and President of WorkSimpli (See Note 3). As of September 30, 2024, there is no remaining balance outstanding related to the promissory note.

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

Liquidity Evaluation

As of September 30, 2024, the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $235 million and has experienced significant losses from its operations. Although the Company is showing significant positive revenue trends, the Company expects to incur further losses through 2024. Additionally, the Company expects its burn rate of cash to continue to improve and to maintain positive operating cash flows for the next 12 months following the date of this report. To date, the Company has been funding operations primarily through the sales of its products, issuance of common and preferred stock, and through loans and advances. The Company’s continued operations are dependent upon obtaining an increase in its sale volumes or the issuance of additional shares of common stock. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in increasing revenues and improving operational efficiencies.

On March 21, 2023, the Company entered into and closed on a loan and security agreement (the “Avenue Credit Agreement”), and a supplement to the Credit Agreement (the “Avenue Supplement”), with Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund II, L.P. and Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund, L.P. (collectively, “Avenue”). The Avenue Credit Agreement provides for a convertible senior secured credit facility of up to an aggregate amount of $40 million, comprised of the following: (1) $15 million in term loans funded at closing, (2) $5 million of additional committed term loans which the Company received on September 26, 2023 under the First Amendment to the Avenue Credit Agreement (the “Avenue First Amendment”) and (3) $20 million of additional uncommitted term loans, collectively referred to as the “Avenue Facility”. The Avenue Facility matures on October 1, 2026. The Company issued Avenue warrants to purchase $1.2 million of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.24, subject to adjustments (the “Avenue Warrants”). In addition, Avenue may convert up to $2 million of the $15 million in term loans funded at closing into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time while the loans are outstanding, at a price per share equal to $1.49. Proceeds from the Avenue Facility were used to repay the Company’s outstanding notes payable balances with CRG Financial and are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. The Company is subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants under the Avenue Facility, including the requirement, beginning on the closing date, to maintain at least $5 million of unrestricted cash to be tested at the end of each month, and beginning on the period ended September 30, 2023, and at the end of each quarter thereafter, a trailing six-month cash flow, subject to certain adjustments as provided by the Avenue Credit Agreement, of at least $2 million. As of September 30, 2024, there was $19 million outstanding under the Avenue Facility, and the Company was in compliance with the Avenue Facility covenants. Loans under the Avenue Facility accrue interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the sum of 4.75% plus the Prime Rate (as defined in the Avenue Supplement) and (ii) 12.50%. Payments are interest only for up to 24 months and then fully amortized thereafter. The Avenue Facility matures on October 1, 2026. The Company may prepay the loans, subject to a prepayment penalty of 1.00% to 3.00% of the principal amount prepaid, depending on the timing of the prepayment.

On December 11, 2023, the Company entered into a collaboration with Medifast, Inc. through and with certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Medifast”). Pursuant to certain agreements between the parties, Medifast has agreed to pay to the Company the amount of $10 million to support the collaboration, funding enhancements to the Company platform, operations and supporting infrastructure, of which $5 million was paid at the closing on December 12, 2023, $2.5 million was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the remaining $2.5 million was paid during the three months ended June 30, 2024 (the “Medifast Collaboration”).

In addition, in connection with the Medifast Collaboration, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement and registration rights agreement with Medifast’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Jason Pharmaceuticals, Inc., whereby the Company issued 1,224,425 shares of its common stock in a private placement (the “Medifast Private Placement”) at a purchase price of $8.1671 per share, for aggregate proceeds of approximately $10 million.

The Company entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “ATM Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. relating to the sale of its common stock. In accordance with the terms of the ATM Sales Agreement, the Company may, but is not obligated to, offer and sell, from time to time, shares of common stock, through or to the Agents, acting as agent or principal. Sales of common stock, if any, will be made by any method permitted that is deemed an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act. On June 7, 2024, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, which was declared effective on July 18, 2024 (the “2024 Shelf”). Under the 2024 Shelf at the time of effectiveness, the Company had the ability to raise up to $150.0 million by selling common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, and units including $53.3 million of its common stock under the ATM Sales Agreement. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $53.3 million available under the ATM Sales Agreement, which is part of the $150.0 million available under the 2024 Shelf.

The Company has a current cash balance of approximately $32.6 million as of the filing date. The Company reviewed its forecasted operating results and sources and uses of cash used in management’s assessment, which included the available financing and consideration of positive and negative evidence impacting management’s forecasts, market, and industry factors. Positive indicators that lead to the Company’s expectation that it will have sufficient cash over the next 12 months following the date of this report include: (1) the Company’s continued strengthening of its revenues and improvement of operational efficiencies across the business, (2) the expected improvement in its cash burn rate over the next 12 months and positive operating cash flows during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, (3) cash on hand of $37.6 million as of September 30, 2024, (4) $53.3 million available under the ATM Sales Agreement, which is part of the $150.0 million available under the 2024 Shelf, (5) management’s ability to curtail expenses, if necessary, and (6) the overall market value of the telehealth industry, which it believes that will continue to drive interest in the Company as already evidenced by the Medifast Collaboration and Medifast Private Placement noted above.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete audited financial statements. The accompanying unaudited financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The information furnished in this report reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for each period presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future period.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company evaluates the need to consolidate affiliates based on standards set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Cleared, its majority owned subsidiary, WorkSimpli, and LifeMD PC, the Company’s affiliated, variable interest entity in which we hold a controlling financial interest. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company purchased an additional 34.6% of WorkSimpli for a total equity interest of approximately 85.6% as of December 31, 2021. Effective September 30, 2022, two option agreements were exercised which further restructured the ownership of WorkSimpli. As a result, the Company’s ownership interest in WorkSimpli decreased to 73.6%. Effective March 31, 2023, the Company redeemed 500 membership interest units in WorkSimpli and, as a result, the Company’s ownership interest in WorkSimpli increased to 74.1%. Effective June 30, 2023, an option agreement was exercised which further restructured the ownership of WorkSimpli. As a result, the Company’s ownership interest in WorkSimpli decreased to 73.3%. See Note 8 for additional information.

All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no cash equivalents. The Company maintains deposits in financial institutions in excess of amounts guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions, and at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. These balances could be impacted if one or more of the financial institutions in which we deposit monies fails or is subject to other adverse conditions in the financial or credit markets. We have never experienced any losses related to these balances.

Variable Interest Entities

In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, the Company determines whether any legal entity in which the Company becomes involved is a variable interest entity (a “VIE”) and subject to consolidation. This determination is based on whether an entity has sufficient equity at risk to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or whose equity investors lack any of the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and whether the interest will absorb portions of a VIE’s expected losses or receive portions of its expected residual returns and are contractual, ownership, or pecuniary in nature and that change with changes in the fair value of the entity’s net assets. A reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE and must consolidate it when that party has a variable interest, or combination of variable interests, that provides it with a controlling financial interest. A party is deemed to have a controlling financial interest if it meets both of the power and losses/benefits criteria. The power criterion is the ability to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance. The losses/benefits criterion is the obligation to absorb losses from, or right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The Company determined that the LifeMD PC entity, the Company’s affiliated network of medical Professional Corporations and medical Professional Associations administratively led by LifeMD Southern Patient Medical Care, P.C., is a VIE and subject to consolidation. LifeMD PC and the Company do not have any stockholders in common. LifeMD PC is owned by licensed physicians, and the Company maintains a managed service agreement with LifeMD PC whereby we provide all non-clinical services to LifeMD PC. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of LifeMD PC and must consolidate, as we have both the power to direct the activities of LifeMD PC that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity and we have the obligation to absorb the losses. As a result, the Company presents the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of LifeMD PC as part of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company. There is no non-controlling interest upon consolidation of LifeMD PC.

Total revenue for LifeMD PC was approximately $20.0 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $41.5 million and $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Total net income for LifeMD PC was approximately $6.2 million and $440 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Total net income for LifeMD PC was approximately $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and net loss for LifeMD PC was approximately $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

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 returns and allowances, stockholders’ equity-based transactions, the capitalization and impairment of capitalized software and impairment of other long-lived assets, estimates to cash flow projections, and liquidity assessment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company records revenue under the adoption of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, by analyzing exchanges with its customers using a five-step analysis:

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 all cases, delivery is considered to have occurred when the customer obtains control, which is usually commensurate upon shipment of the product. In the case where delivery is not commensurate upon shipment of the product, recognition of revenue is deferred until that time. In the case of its product-based contracts, the Company provides a subscription sensitive service based on the recurring shipment of products. The Company 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.

For its LifeMD PC contracts with customers, the Company offers one-time and subscription-based access to the Company’s telehealth platform. The Company offers monthly and multi-month subscriptions dependent upon the subscriber’s enrollment selection. The Company has estimated that there is one performance obligation that is delivered over time, as the Company allows the subscriber to access the telehealth platform for the time period of the subscription purchased. The Company records the revenue over the customer’s subscription period for monthly and multi-month subscribers.

Customer discounts, returns and rebates on telehealth revenues approximated $1.7 million and $696 thousand during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Customer discounts, returns and rebates on telehealth revenues approximated $4.5 million and $1.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in customer discounts, returns and rebates on telehealth revenues is primarily due to the increase in sales volume.

The Company, through its majority-owned subsidiary WorkSimpli, 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 customer’s subscription will not be renewed for the following month or year depending on the original subscription. The Company records the revenue over the customer’s 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. 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. Customer discounts and allowances on WorkSimpli revenues approximated $1.1 million and $865 thousand during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Customer discounts and allowances on WorkSimpli revenues approximated $2.5 million and $2.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

As noted above, on December 11, 2023, the Company entered into the Medifast Collaboration. Pursuant to certain agreements between the parties, Medifast agreed to pay to the Company the amount of $10 million to support the collaboration, funding enhancements to the Company platform, operations and supporting infrastructure, of which $5 million was paid at the closing on December 12, 2023, $2.5 million was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the remaining $2.5 million was paid during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The Company determined the transaction price totaled $10 million, which was fully collected as of September 30, 2024. The Company has allocated the total $10 million initial transaction price to three distinct performance obligations. As the Company completed its first performance obligation related to this agreement, the $5 million payment was fully recognized during the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company recognized approximately $2 million related to the second performance obligation during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and approximately $3 million related to the second and third performance obligations during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had the following disaggregated revenue:

SCHEDULE OF DISAGGREGATED REVENUE 

Deferred Revenues

The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received or due in advance of its performance. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has accrued contract liabilities, as deferred revenue, of approximately $16.4 million and $8.8 million, respectively, which represent the following: (1) $12.3 million and $4.2 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, related to obligations on telehealth in-process monthly or yearly contracts with customers, (2) $1.6 million and $2.1 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, related to obligations for telehealth products which the customer has not yet obtained control due to non-shipment of the product and (3) $2.5 million and $2.5 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, related to obligations on WorkSimpli in-process monthly or yearly contracts with customers.

Deferred revenue increased by $7.6 million to $16.4 million as of September 30, 2024 compared to $8.8 million as of December 31, 2023. The increase is primarily due to the increase in monthly and multi-month subscription revenue related to LifeMD PC of approximately $38.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The amount of revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2024, that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period, was $11.2 million. The amount of revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period, was $7.4 million.

The Company expects to recognize all of the deferred revenue related to future performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as of September 30, 2024 as revenue by September 30, 2025.

The following table summarizes deferred revenue activities for the periods presented:

SCHEDULE OF CONTRACT WITH CUSTOMER LIABILITY 

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are included in right-of-use assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The current and long-term components of operating lease liabilities are included in the current operating lease liabilities and noncurrent operating lease liabilities, respectively, on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Certain leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the balance sheet.

Accounts Receivable, net

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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the reserve for sales returns and allowances was approximately $930 thousand and $528 thousand, respectively. For all periods presented, as noted above, the sales returns and allowances were recorded in accrued expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Inventory

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, inventory primarily consisted of finished goods, raw materials and packaging related to the Company’s OTC products included in the telehealth revenue section of the table above. Inventory is maintained at the Company’s third-party warehouse location in Wyoming and at various Amazon fulfillment centers. The Company also maintains inventory at a company owned warehouse in Pennsylvania.

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost determined on an average cost 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recorded an inventory reserve of approximately $265 thousand and $356 thousand, respectively.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s inventory consisted of the following:

SUMMARY OF INVENTORY 

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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has approximately $137 thousand and $486 thousand, 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, 2024, the Company approximates its implicit purchase commitments to be $1.1 million, of which the vast majority are with two vendors that manufacture the Company’s finished goods inventory for its RexMD 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 ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software, are expensed as incurred. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company capitalized a net amount of $13.5 million and $11.8 million, respectively, related to internally developed software costs which are amortized over the useful life and included in development costs on our statement of operations.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are comprised of: (1) the ResumeBuild brand, (2) a customer relationship asset, (3) the Cleared trade name, (4) Cleared developed technology, (5) a purchased license and (6) four purchased domain names. 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 include equipment and capitalized software. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If such assets are considered to be impaired, an impairment is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair values of the assets. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company determined that no events or changes in circumstances existed that would indicate any impairment of its long-lived assets.

Income Taxes

The Company files corporate federal, state and local tax returns. WorkSimpli files a tax return in Puerto Rico. The Company records current and deferred taxes in accordance with 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, 2020, 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 Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. 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 (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period presented. Shares of unissued vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) are included in our calculation of basic weighted average shares outstanding. Convertible securities, 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.

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 260, Diluted Earnings per Share. In computing diluted EPS, basic EPS is adjusted for the assumed issuance of all potentially dilutive securities. The dilutive effect of call options, warrants and share-based payment awards is calculated using the “treasury stock method,” which assumes that the “proceeds” from the exercise of these instruments are used to purchase common shares at the average market price for the period. The dilutive effect of traditional convertible debt and preferred stock is calculated using the “if-converted method.” Under the if-converted method, securities are assumed to be converted at the beginning of the period, and the resulting common shares are included in the denominator of the diluted EPS calculation for the entire period being presented.

The following table summarizes the number of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to our convertible securities that were excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive even though the exercise price could be less than the average market price of the common shares:

SCHEDULE OF POTENTIALLY DILUTIVE SECURITIES 

Segment Data

Our portfolio of brands are included within two operating segments: Telehealth and WorkSimpli. We believe our current segments and brands within our segments complement one another and position us well for future growth. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the chief operating decision maker and is responsible for reviewing segment operating results to make determinations about resources to be allocated and to assess performance. Other factors, including type of business, revenue recognition and operating results are reviewed in determining the Company’s operating segments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities subject to ongoing fair value measurement are categorized and disclosed into one of the three categories depending on observable or unobservable inputs employed in the measurement. Hierarchical levels, which are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to the valuation of these assets or liabilities, are as follows:

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and the face amount of notes payable and convertible long term debt approximate fair value for all periods presented.

Concentrations of 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 and pharmacies, although we believe that other contract manufacturers or third-party pharmacies could be quickly secured if any of our current manufacturers or pharmacies cease to perform adequately. As of September 30, 2024, we utilized four (4) suppliers for fulfillment services, fifteen (15) suppliers for manufacturing finished goods, eight (8) suppliers for packaging, bottling, and labeling, and eight (8) suppliers for prescription medications. As of December 31, 2023, we utilized three (3) suppliers for fulfillment services, nine (9) suppliers for manufacturing finished goods, seven (7) suppliers for packaging, bottling, and labeling, and five (5) suppliers for prescription medications.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

On January 18, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Cleared. The Company accounted for the transaction using the acquisition method in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, with the purchase price being allocated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Fair values were determined using income approaches. The results of Cleared are included within the consolidated financial statements commencing on the acquisition date.

On February 4, 2023, the Company entered into the Cleared First Amendment. The Cleared Stock Purchase Agreement was amended to, among other things: (i) reduce the total purchase price by $250 thousand to a total of $3.67 million; (ii) change the timing of the payment of the purchase price to $460 thousand paid at closing (which has already been paid by the Company), with the remaining amount to be paid in five quarterly installments beginning on or before February 6, 2023 and ending January 15, 2024; (iii) remove all “earn-out” payments payable by the Company to the sellers; and (iv) remove certain representations and warranties of the Company and sellers in connection with the transaction. The Company issued the following shares of common stock to the sellers of Cleared under the Cleared First Amendment: (1) 337,895 shares on February 6, 2023, (2) 455,319 shares on April 17, 2023, (3) 158,129 shares on July 17, 2023, (4) 117,583 shares on October 17, 2023 and (5) 95,821 shares on January 16, 2024.

In February 2022, WorkSimpli closed on the ResumeBuild APA to purchase the related intangible assets associated with the ResumeBuild brand, a subscription-based resume building software. The acquisition further adds to the capabilities of the WorkSimpli software as a service application. The purchase price was $4.5 million, including cash paid upfront of $4.0 million and contingent consideration of $500 thousand. In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, the Company accounted for the ResumeBuild APA as an acquisition of assets as substantially all the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a group of similar assets. The Company has elected to group the complementary intangible assets acquired as a single brand intangible asset. Additionally, the Seller is entitled to quarterly payments equal to the greater of 15% of net profits (as defined in the ResumeBuild APA) or approximately $63 thousand, for a two-year period ending on the two-year anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition. As of September 30, 2024, WorkSimpli has paid the Seller $500 thousand in accordance with the ResumeBuild APA. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration using the income approach.
