RISK FACTORS

 

Readers and prospective investors in our common stock should carefully consider the following risk factors as well as the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

 

If any of the following risks actually occurs, our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. If this were to happen, the value of our common stock could decline, and if you invest in our common stock, you could lose all or part of your investment.

 

The discussion below highlights some important risks we have identified related to our business and operations and an investment in shares of our common stock, but these should not be assumed to be the only factors that could affect our future performance and condition, financial and otherwise. We do not have a policy of updating or revising forward-looking statements except as otherwise required by law, and silence by management over time should not be construed to mean that actual events are occurring as estimated in such forward-looking statements.

 

Risks Relating to Business and Financial Condition

 

Because we have historically experienced losses, if we are unable to achieve profitability, our financial condition and company could suffer.

 

Since the inception of our business we have historically incurred losses. While we have increased revenues significantly, we have not yet been able to achieve profitability due to significant investments in our growth. Our ability to achieve consistent profitability depends on our ability to generate sales through our technology platform and advertising model, while maintaining reasonable expense levels. If we do not achieve sustainable profitability, it may impact our ability to continue our operations.

 

Our business and growth may suffer if we are unable to attract and retain key employees.

 

Our success depends on the expertise of our executive officers and certain other key technical personnel. It may be difficult to find sufficiently qualified individuals to replace management or other key technical personnel in the event of death, disability or resignation, thus frustrating our ability to implement our business plan, which could negatively affect our operating results.

 

Furthermore, our ability to expand operations to accommodate our anticipated growth will also depend on our ability to attract and retain qualified media, management, finance, marketing, sales and technical personnel. However, competition for these types of employees is intense due to the limited number of qualified professionals. Our ability to meet our business development objectives will depend in part on our ability to recruit, train and retain top quality people with advanced skills who understand our technology and business. No assurance can be given that we will be successful in this regard. If we are unable to engage and retain the necessary personnel, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

 

Our failure to obtain retain or attract additional customers could prevent us from successfully executing our business plan.

 

We currently work with many leading pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer, Eli Lilly, Actavis, AstraZeneca, Alcon, Daiichi Sankyo, Novartis, Novo Nordisk, Valeant, Shire, and others. Our failure to retain existing customers or expand with new customers could negatively impact our business.

 

We are dependent on a concentrated group of customers

 

Our revenues are concentrated in approximately 25 customers, primarily large pharmaceutical manufacturers and large advertising agencies. Approximately 52% of our revenue came from our largest five customers. Loss of one or more of these customers could have a significant negative impact on our operating results.

 

 

We may be unable to support our technology to further scale our operations successfully.

 

Our plan is to grow rapidly through further integration of our technology in electronic platforms. Our growth will place significant demands on our management and technology development, as well as our financial, administrative and other resources. We cannot guarantee that any of the systems, procedures and controls we put in place will be adequate to support the commercialization of our operations. Our operating results will depend substantially on the ability of our officers and key employees to manage changing business conditions and to implement and improve our financial, administrative and other resources. If we are unable to respond to and manage changing business conditions, or the scale of our products, services and operations, then the quality of our services, our ability to retain key personnel and our business could be harmed.

 

If we are unable to maintain our contracts with electronic prescription platforms, our business will suffer.

 

We are reliant upon our contracts with leading electronic prescribing platforms, including Allscripts, Dr. First, Quest Diagnostics, and others. We will need to maintain these relationships as well as diversify them. The inability to do so could adversely impact our business.

 

Our agreements with electronic prescription platforms are subject to audit, which could subject us to additional costs that might affect our results of operations.

 

Our agreements with our electronic prescription platform partners provide for revenue sharing payments to the platform partners based on the revenue we generate through the platform. These payments are subject to audit by our partners, at their cost, and if there is a dispute as to the calculation, we may be liable for additional payments. If an underpayment is determined to be in excess of a certain amount, for example 10%, some agreements would require us to pay for the cost of the audit, as well.

 

Developing and implementing new and updated applications, features and services for our portals may be more difficult than expected, may take longer and cost more than expected and may not result in sufficient increases in revenue to justify the costs.

 

We have completed the development and migration of SampleMD 2.0’s on-demand, rule based content delivery platform. The system can now manage up to 1 million rules and return the appropriate content within 1 second. This allows unsurpassed response time to avoid delays, and the ability to meet the upcoming dramatic scale we expect. Despite the launch of Sample MD 2.0, attracting and retaining users of our portals requires us to continue to improve the technology underlying those portals and to continue to develop new and updated applications, features and services for those portals. If we are unable to do so on a timely basis or if we are unable to implement new applications, features and services without disruption to our existing ones, we may lose potential users and clients. The costs of development of these enhancements may negatively impact our ability to achieve profitability.

 

We rely on a combination of internal development, strategic relationships, licensing and acquisitions to develop our portals and related applications, features and services. Our development and/or implementation of new technologies, applications, features and services may cost more than expected, may take longer than originally expected, may require more testing than originally anticipated and may require the acquisition of additional personnel and other resources. There can be no assurance that the revenue opportunities from any new or updated technologies, applications, features or services will justify the amounts spent.

 

If we are unable to adhere to the regulatory and competitive climate in which we operate, we could be materially and negatively impacted.

 

Do to the labyrinth of regulations in the healthcare space, state and federal, as well as political sensitivity of healthcare delivery, our business model could be negatively impacted or fail.

 

The markets in which we operate are competitive, continually evolving and, in some cases, subject to rapid change.

 

●

Our portals face competition from numerous other companies, both in attracting users and in generating revenue from advertisers and sponsors. We compete for users with online services and websites that provide savings on medications and healthcare products, including both commercial sites and not-for-profit sites. We compete for advertisers and sponsors with: health-related web sites; general purpose consumer web sites that offer specialized health sub-channels; other high-traffic web sites that include both healthcare-related and non-healthcare-related content and services; search engines that provide specialized health search; and advertising networks that aggregate traffic from multiple sites.

 

 

●

Our healthcare provider portals compete with: providers of healthcare decision-support tools and online health management applications; wellness and disease management vendors; and health information services and health management offerings of healthcare benefits companies and their affiliates.

 

Many of our competitors have greater financial, technical, product development, marketing and other resources than we do. These organizations may be better known than we are and have more customers or users than we do. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against these organizations or any alliances they have formed or may form. Since there are no substantial barriers to entry into the markets in which our public portals participate, we expect that competitors will continue to enter these markets.

 

Developments in the healthcare industry could adversely affect our business

 

Most of our revenue is derived from the healthcare industry and could be affected by changes affecting healthcare spending. We are particularly dependent on pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies for our advertising and sponsorship revenue.

 

General reductions in expenditures by healthcare industry participants could result from, among other things:

 

●

government regulation or private initiatives that affect the manner in which healthcare providers interact with patients, payers or other healthcare industry participants, including changes in pricing or means of delivery of healthcare products and services;

 

●

government regulation prohibiting the use of coupons by patients covered by federally funded health insurance programs;

 

●

consolidation of healthcare industry participants;

 

●

reductions in governmental funding for healthcare; and

 

●

adverse changes in business or economic conditions affecting healthcare payers or providers, pharmaceutical, biotechnology or medical device companies or other healthcare industry participants.

 

Even if general expenditures by industry participants remain the same or increase, developments in the healthcare industry may result in reduced spending in some or all of the specific market segments that we serve or are planning to serve. For example, use of our products and services could be affected by:

 

●

changes in the design of health insurance plans;

 

●

a decrease in the number of new drugs or medical devices coming to market;

 

●

a decrease in marketing expenditures by pharmaceutical or medical device companies, including as a result of governmental regulation or private initiatives that discourage or prohibit advertising or sponsorship activities by pharmaceutical or medical device companies; and

 

●

payor pressure to move to generic brands.

 

In addition, our customers’ expectations regarding pending or potential industry developments may also affect their budgeting processes and spending plans with respect to products and services of the types we provide.

 

The healthcare industry has changed significantly in recent years and we expect that significant changes will continue to occur. However, the timing and impact of developments in the healthcare industry are difficult to predict. We cannot assure you that the markets for our products and services will continue to exist at current levels or that we will have adequate technical, financial and marketing resources to react to changes in those markets.

 

 

Because we are embroiled in various lawsuits from time to time with uncertain consequences, the outcome of potential judgments may negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

We are currently involved in litigation and other disputes, as described in this Prospectus. As we continue to grow, we can expect to have to deal with lawsuits that affect our business. Lawsuits are uncertain and involve a substantial degree of risk. If we are unable to successfully prosecute or defend these actions, our financial condition and results of operations could suffer.

 

Our success is dependent in part on obtaining, maintaining and enforcing our proprietary rights and our ability to avoid infringing on the proprietary rights of others.

 

We seek patent protection for those inventions and technologies for which we believe such protection is suitable and is likely to provide a competitive advantage to us. Because patent applications in the United States are maintained in secrecy until either the patent application is published or a patent is issued, we may not be aware of third-party patents, patent applications and other intellectual property relevant to our products that may block our use of our intellectual property or may be used in third-party products that compete with our products and processes. In the event a competitor or other party successfully challenges our products, processes, patents or licenses or claims that we have infringed upon their intellectual property, we could incur substantial litigation costs defending against such claims, be required to pay royalties, license fees or other damages or be barred from using the intellectual property at issue, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

We also rely substantially on trade secrets, proprietary technology, nondisclosure and other contractual agreements, and technical measures to protect our technology, application, design, and manufacturing know-how, and work actively to foster continuing technological innovation to maintain and protect our competitive position. We cannot assure you that steps taken by us to protect our intellectual property and other contractual agreements for our business will be adequate, that our competitors will not independently develop or patent substantially equivalent or superior technologies or be able to design around patents that we may receive, or that our intellectual property will not be misappropriated.

 

Our business will suffer if our network systems fail or become unavailable.

 

A reduction in the performance, reliability and availability of our network infrastructure would harm our ability to distribute our products to our users, as well as our reputation and ability to attract and retain customers. Our systems and operations could be damaged or interrupted by fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, Internet breakdown, earthquake and similar events. Our systems could also be subject to viruses, break-ins, sabotage, acts of terrorism, acts of vandalism, hacking, cyber-terrorism and similar misconduct. We might not carry adequate business interruption insurance to compensate us for losses that may occur from a system outage. Any system error or failure that causes interruption in availability of our product or an increase in response time could result in a loss of potential customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we suffer sustained or repeated interruptions, then our products and services could be less attractive to our users and our business would be materially harmed.

 

If we are unable to manage growth, our operations could be adversely affected.

 

Our progress is expected to require the full utilization of our management, financial and other resources. Our ability to manage growth effectively will depend on our ability to improve and expand operations, including our financial and management information systems, and to recruit, train and manage personnel. There can be no absolute assurance that management will be able to manage growth effectively.

 

If we do not properly manage the growth of our business, we may experience significant strains on our management and operations and disruptions in our business. Various risks arise when companies and industries grow quickly. If our business or industry grows too quickly, our ability to meet customer demand in a timely and efficient manner could be challenged. We may also experience development delays as we seek to meet increased demand for our products. Our failure to properly manage the growth that we or our industry might experience could negatively impact our ability to execute on our operating plan and, accordingly, could have an adverse impact on our business, our cash flow and results of operations, and our reputation with our current or potential customers.

 

 

Our business is subject to changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure.

 

Because our common stock is publicly traded, we are subject to certain rules and regulations of federal and state entities charged with the protection of investors and the oversight of companies whose securities are publicly traded. These entities have continued to develop additional regulations and requirements in response to laws enacted by Congress, most notably the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Complying with these new regulations has resulted in, and is likely to continue to result in, increased general and administrative costs and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating and other business activities to compliance activities.

 

Risks Relating to Our Securities

 

If a market for our common stock does not develop, shareholders may be unable to sell their shares.

 

Our common stock is quoted under the symbol “OPRX” on the OTCQB operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc., an electronic inter-dealer quotation medium for equity securities. We do not currently have an active trading market. There can be no assurance that an active and liquid trading market will develop or, if developed, that it will be sustained.

 

Our securities are very thinly traded. Accordingly, it may be difficult to sell shares of our common stock without significantly depressing the value of the stock. Unless we are successful in developing continued investor interest in our stock, sales of our stock could continue to result in major fluctuations in the price of the stock.

 

Because we are subject to the “Penny Stock” rules, the level of trading activity in our stock may be reduced.

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any listed, trading equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules which may increase the difficulty Purchasers may experience in attempting to liquidate such securities.

 

We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.

 

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will occur only if our stock price appreciates.

 

 

Provisions in the Nevada Revised Statutes and our Bylaws could make it very difficult for an investor to bring any legal actions against our directors or officers for violations of their fiduciary duties or could require us to pay any amounts incurred by our directors or officers in any such actions.

 

Members of our board of directors and our officers will have no liability for breaches of their fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer, except in limited circumstances, pursuant to provisions in the Nevada Revised Statutes and our Bylaws as authorized by the Nevada Revised Statutes. Specifically, Section 78.138 of the Nevada Revised Statutes provides that a director or officer is not individually liable to the company or its shareholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that (1) the director’s or officer’s act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer and (2) his or her breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. This provision is intended to afford directors and officers protection against and to limit their potential liability for monetary damages resulting from suits alleging a breach of the duty of care by a director or officer. Accordingly, you may be unable to prevail in a legal action against our directors or officers even if they have breached their fiduciary duty of care. In addition, our Bylaws allow us to indemnify our directors and officers from and against any and all costs, charges and expenses resulting from their acting in such capacities with us. This means that if you were able to enforce an action against our directors or officers, in all likelihood, we would be required to pay any expenses they incurred in defending the lawsuit and any judgment or settlement they otherwise would be required to pay. Accordingly, our indemnification obligations could divert needed financial resources and may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

All of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus are being sold by the Selling Shareholders. See “Selling Shareholders” below. We will not receive any proceeds from these sales of shares of our common stock. A portion of the shares covered by this prospectus are issuable upon exercise of the Agent Warrants to purchase our common stock. Upon any exercise of the Agent Warrants for cash, such Selling Shareholders would pay us the exercise price of the warrants. Cash received from exercise of Agent Warrants will be used for general corporate purposes. Additionally, the Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis. If any Agent Warrants are exercised on a cashless basis, we would not receive any cash payment from such Selling Shareholders upon any exercise of such Agent Warrants.

 

The Selling Shareholders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the Selling Shareholders for brokerage, accounting, tax, or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the Selling Shareholders in disposing of the shares. We will bear all other costs, fees, and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the shares covered by this prospectus, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, and fees and expenses of our counsel and our accountants.

 

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

The Selling Shareholders will determine at what price they may sell the offered shares, and such sales may be made at prevailing market prices, or at privately negotiated prices.

 

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

 

We have prepared this prospectus to allow the Selling Shareholders or their successors, assignees or other permitted transferees to sell or otherwise dispose of, from time to time, up to 982,472 shares of our Common Stock. Of the shares of common stock being offered under this prospectus 804,139 shares are able to be acquired pursuant to the Agent Warrants we issued in connection with our March 2014 Private Placement, which Agent Warrants are currently exercisable. There are also 45,000 Advisory Shares that were issued in connection with an Advisory Agreement with Merriman. We have issued and delivered to Merriman the 45,000 shares of common stock that were earned under the Advisory Agreement as of the date of execution. The remaining 133,333 Separation Shares were issued in connection with a Separation Agreement with Mr. Shadron Stastney. We have issued and delivered to Mr. Stastney these shares of common stock.

 

The Agent Warrants, Advisory Shares and Separation Shares were sold pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D under the Securities Act. In connection therewith, the investors made to us certain representations, warranties, covenants, and conditions customary for private placement investments.

 

 

The table below presents information regarding the Selling Shareholders and the shares of our Common Stock that they may sell or otherwise dispose of from time to time under this prospectus. Percentages of beneficial ownership are based upon 29,077,660 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of June 2, 2016. Beneficial ownership is determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities and including any securities that grant the Selling Shareholders the right to acquire Common Stock within 60 days of June 2, 2016. Unless otherwise noted, each person or group identified possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares, subject to community property laws where applicable.

 

We do not know when or in what amounts the Selling Shareholders may sell or otherwise dispose of the shares covered hereby. We currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the Selling Shareholders regarding the sale of any of the shares by them other than the registration rights agreement described below. The Selling Shareholders might not sell any or all of the shares covered by this prospectus or may sell or dispose of some or all of the shares other than pursuant to this prospectus. Because the Selling Shareholders may not sell or otherwise dispose of some or all of the shares covered by this prospectus and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale or other disposition of any of the shares, we cannot estimate the number of the shares that will be held by the Selling Shareholders after completion of the offering.

 

Each Selling Shareholder has indicated to us that neither it nor any of its affiliates has held any position or office or had any other material relationship with us in the past three years except as described in the footnotes to the table.

 

The shares of common stock being offered under this prospectus may be offered for sale from time to time during the period the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part remains effective, by or for the accounts of the Selling Shareholders named below.

Each Selling Shareholder (the “Selling Shareholders”) of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the OTC Bulletin Board, OTCQB or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

 

●

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

●

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

●

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

●

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

●

privately negotiated transactions;

 

●

settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

 

●

in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Shareholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

 

●

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

●

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

 

●

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The Selling Shareholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

 

 

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Shareholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Shareholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).

 

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Shareholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

Because Selling Shareholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. The Selling Shareholders have advised us that there is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale securities by the Selling Shareholders.

 

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Shareholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of securities of the common stock by the Selling Shareholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Shareholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

 

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

In September, 2014, we initiated litigation against Shadron Stastney, our CEO from January 2013 to September 2013, in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Michigan as a result of a dispute related to his Separation Agreement. On May 27, 2016, we settled the action. For a complete release of claims and dismissal of the action, we agreed to pay Mr. Stastney $50,000 and to issue him 100,000 shares of our common stock. We further agreed to register 133,333 of his existing shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-1 by June 30, 2016.

 

 

In March, 2015, we initiated litigation against LDM Group, LLC and PDR Network, LLC in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Missouri related to the breach by LDM, and PDR as successor, of the settlement agreement signed February 28, 2014 related to previous litigation with LDM. LDM has failed to live up to its obligations under the settlement agreement including, but not limited to, not allowing us to distribute our eCoupon programs in the LDM network, not allowing us to distribute the LDM patient education programs, and not providing other information required under the settlement agreement. We are seeking enforcement of the settlement agreement and we are seeking damages in an amount at least equal to the amounts paid to date to LDM under the settlement agreement, which is in excess of $1.0 million, as well as damages for lost income and business value as a result of LDM’s breach of the agreement.

 

In March, 2015, we also initiated litigation against PDR Network, LLC in the U.S. District Court in the District of New Jersey as a result of PDR’s breach of the Master Services Agreement between the parties requiring PDR to exclusively use our eCoupon solution. We assert that PDR’s acquisition of LDM and the use of the LDM network to distribute coupons by PDR violates the agreement between the parties and we are seeking damages in an amount at least equal the amounts paid to date by us to LDM under the settlement agreement, which is in excess of $1.0 million, as well as damages for lost income and business value as a result of PDR’s actions.

 

In May, 2015, we filed an amended complaint in the Missouri case to consolidate the two cases and withdrew the case against PDR Networks in the U.S. District Court in the District of New Jersey, without prejudice. In July, 2015, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri dismissed the case, citing lack of Federal jurisdiction in the matter. We refiled the consolidated case against PDR Network and LDM group in State court in Missouri. The defendants have filed a motion to dismiss two of the four counts in the consolidated complaint. In January, 2016, the Court dismissed one of our four claims, but allowed the other three to continue forward. The parties are currently in the discovery process.

Our board of directors may become authorized to authorize preferred shares of stock and to divide the authorized shares of our preferred stock into one or more series, each of which must be so designated as to distinguish the shares of each series of preferred stock from the shares of all other series and classes. Our board of directors is authorized, within any limitations prescribed by law and our articles of incorporation, to fix and determine the designations, rights, qualifications, preferences, limitations and terms of the shares of any series of preferred stock including, but not limited to, the following:

Registration Rights

 

The Shares Underlying Warrants Issued in Connection With the March 2014 Private Placement Financing

 

In connection with the March 2014 Private Placement, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement.

We filed a registration statement that went effective on May 28, 2014 to comply with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement. In addition, we granted piggyback registration rights to the Placement Agents in the March 2014 Private Placement, which comprise the shares of common stock underlying the Agent Warrants that are being registered herein. We are filing this registration statement to maintain the registered status of those shares underlying the Agent Warrants.

On September 24, 2015, we entered into an Investor Rights Agreement with WPP Luxembourg (the “Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to the following:

 

●

Demand Registration Rights. We granted the Investor registration rights for the 6,011,106 acquired from us and any securities acquired in connection with an Amended and Restated Co-Marketing Agreement after a period of two years.

 

●

Inspection Rights. So long as the Investor owns not less than 25% of the Shares, we granted the Investor an annual right to inspect our books and records.

 

●

Observer Rights. So long as the Investor owns not less than 25% of the Shares, we will allow the Investor to choose a representative to attend our board meetings as a nonvoting observer.

 

●

Board Seat. So long as the Investor owns not less than 25% of the Shares, we agreed to appoint a nominee of the Investor as a member of our board of directors. We also agreed to a five member Board of Directors provided that it is not prohibited by the rules and regulations of an exchange that we trade on. We also agreed to enter into an Indemnity Agreement with the nominee.

 

●

Budget Review. So long as the Investor owns not less than 25% of the Shares, we agreed to review our budget plans with the Investor’s nominee prior to submission to the Board of Directors, at the request of the Investor.

 

●

Right of First Refusal. We agreed that, in the event that it proposes to sell new securities, we will first offer such new securities to the Investor.

 

●

Special Approval Matters. So long as the Investor owns not less than 25% of the Shares, and provided that it is not prohibited by the rules and regulations of an exchange that we trades on, we agreed that 80% Board approval will be required for certain decisions, including:

the issuance of new securities, except for securities issued under an equity incentive plan and any issuance of common stock to vendors, advisors, financial institutions, suppliers or joint venturers that do not exceed, individually or in the aggregate 5% of then issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company.

 

Provisions in Our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws That Would Delay, Defer or Prevent a Change in Control

 

Our articles of incorporation authorize our board of directors to issue a class of preferred stock commonly known as a "blank check" preferred stock. Specifically, the preferred stock may be issued from time to time by the board of directors as shares of one (1) or more classes or series. Our board of directors, subject to the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and limitations imposed by law, is authorized to adopt resolutions; to issue the shares; to fix the number of shares; to change the number of shares constituting any series; and to provide for or change the following: the voting powers; designations; preferences; and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions, including the following: dividend rights, including whether dividends are cumulative; dividend rates; terms of redemption, including sinking fund provisions; redemption prices; conversion rights and liquidation preferences of the shares constituting any class or series of the preferred stock.

 

In each such case, we will not need any further action or vote by our shareholders. One of the effects of undesignated preferred stock may be to enable the board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise, and thereby to protect the continuity of our management. The issuance of shares of preferred stock pursuant to the board of director's authority described above may adversely affect the rights of holders of common stock. For example, preferred stock issued by us may rank prior to the common stock as to dividend rights, liquidation preference or both, may have full or limited voting rights and may be convertible into shares of common stock. Accordingly, the issuance of shares of preferred stock may discourage bids for the common stock at a premium or may otherwise adversely affect the market price of the common stock.

 

Dividend Policy

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Share Purchase Warrants

 

We had warrants outstanding to purchase 2,044,583 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $ 1.67 as of March 31, 2016.

 

Options

 

We had options outstanding to purchase 2,780,000 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $1.10 as of March 31, 2016.

 

 

Convertible Securities

 

We have not issued and do not have outstanding any securities convertible into shares of our common stock or any rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of our common stock.

 

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions

 

Nevada Anti-Takeover Laws

 

Nevada Revised Statutes sections 78.378 to 78.379 provide state regulation over the acquisition of a controlling interest in certain Nevada corporations unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation provide that the provisions of these sections do not apply. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not state that these provisions do not apply. The statute creates a number of restrictions on the ability of a person or entity to acquire control of a Nevada company by setting down certain rules of conduct and voting restrictions in any acquisition attempt, among other things. The statute is limited to corporations that are organized in the state of Nevada and that have 200 or more stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and residents of the State of Nevada; and does business in the State of Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation. Because of these conditions, the statute currently does not apply to our company.

 

Listing of Common Stock

 

Our common stock is currently traded on the OTCQB under the trading symbol “OPRX.”

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

The transfer agent and registrar of our common stock is Empire Stock Transfer, 1859 Whitney Mesa Dr, Henderson, NV 89014, telephone: (702) 974-1444.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION

FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the following provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the shares being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Our success in acquiring, integrating and expanding into new promotional EHR/eRx platforms continues to grow as well. We are discussing 2016 rollout dates with potential additional networks.

 

Pharmaceutical Sales and Marketing Updates

 

Our sales team continues to expand opportunities within existing and new clients. We are focused on adding additional brands for existing clients, expanding the utilization of our network for existing brands, and obtaining new clients.

 

Additionally, we are expanding our non e-Coupon services as follows:

 

●

New Drug File Integration – we are designing a service to better insure that manufacturers’ drugs are present in every ePrescribing platform available.

 

●

We are actively expanding our messaging capabilities with the goal of rapidly increasing revenue through this complementary service.

 

●

ePrescribe Training – we are pursuing opportunities to leverage our partnership with WPP/Grey to train representatives on understanding and leveraging EHR sales opportunities.

 

●

VoucherDVM - we continue advancing our negotiations with each of the leading veterinarian technology platforms and have signed an agreement with National Veterinary Associates, one of the largest veterinary groups in the U.S., to initiate a beta launch in January, 2016.

 

We are also continuing to ramp up our marketing efforts as follows:

 

●

Held multiple meetings initiated and arranged by Pharmaceutical companies to bring on new Health Systems/ePrescribe Platforms.

 

●

Spoke at Coupon and Co-Pay Off-set Strategies Conference.

 

●

Spoke at multiple conferences in 2015, including the Marcum 2015 MicroCap conference, the Liolios 4th annual Gateway conference and the LD Micro investor conference.

 

●

Sponsored the 3rd Annual ePrescribe/EHR Conference.

 

With the growth of both our pharmaceutical products and our distribution network, we expect that our distribution of eCoupons will continue to increase substantially over last year.

 

 

Operational Update

 

In 2016, in addition to expanding our network, we plan to intensively focus on increasing physician utilization of our partner networks. We intend to working individually with each of our partners based on their particular situation to improve workflow to increase coupon utilization by those providers that have access, obtain access for those prescribers that currently do not have e-coupon access, and increase overall revenue derived from each channel. We believe there is significant revenue growth available within our existing brands by better utilizing our existing partner networks, in addition to the revenue growth provided by new brands and new network partners.

 

In 2015, we began the search for an experienced EHR executive to lead our expansion efforts. In January, 2016, we hired James Brooks as Senior Vice President of Business Development to champion our EHR business through the development of new relationships with other EHR providers and patient platforms.

 

Technology Updates

 

To support our growth, we have migrated our platform to Oracle database software. The system can now manage up to 1 million rules and return the appropriate content within 1 second. This allows unsurpassed response time to avoid delays, and the ability to meet the upcoming dramatic scale we expect.

 

We have launched downloadable “wrapper” code, which streamlines the integration requirements for our solution from a few weeks to a few days, if EHR channel partners choose to utilize this method. This addresses one of the biggest hurdles we face in getting health systems and EHRs to implement our system, given the extensive demand on their available technical resources.

 

We have developed a stand-alone desktop eCoupon application that can be used by prescribers that either are not using an eprescribing application, or whose EHR vendor does not offer e-Coupon functionality. We have sold one such application to a major pharmaceutical manufacturer for use as a tool by their sales force and to distribute to physicians. We expect this to be a source of revenue growth in 2016.

 

Managerial Updates

 

We recently added one executive officer to our team.

 

James Brooks

 

Effective January 4, 2016, the board of directors appointed Mr. James Brooks to act as our Senior Vice President of Business Development. Mr. Brooks brings more than 20 years of experience in sales & marketing, including sales force development, sales management, and organizational leadership processes within the Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Healthcare Technology sector.

 

Effective January 4, 2016, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Brooks. The agreement is at will and may be terminated by either party at any time. Under the agreement, we agreed to compensate Mr. Brooks $185,000 annually and, subject to meeting certain assigned goals, we agreed to pay him a bonus of up to $100,000 per year, along with a maximum of 300,000 stock options during the first two years of employment.

 

Mr. Brooks is entitled to participate in any existing employee benefit plans. He has paid vacation and sick days, and other benefits included in the agreement.

 

Mr. Brooks agreed to covenants not to solicit customers or recruit employees both during employment and for a period of one year following termination. The agreement also contains a confidentiality provision.

 

 

David Harrell

 

As of March 31, 2016, Mr. David Harrell, ended his employment as our Chief Executive Officer.

 

On May 9, 2016, we entered into a Separation Agreement and Release with Mr. Harrell that grants us a standard release of employment claims in consideration for, among other things, a stock payout of $720,415 to Mr. Harrell.

 

On the same date, we entered into a Corporate Consulting Agreement with Mr. Harrell that sets forth the terms his continued relationship with our company. He will remain our employee through May 31, 2016 and the Corporate Consulting Agreement is effective as of June 1, 2016. Under the terms of this agreement, Mr. Harrell will consult for our company for a period of 16 months and he will receive a monthly payment of $15,000, with the potential for up to $54,000 in additional bonus payments during the term of the agreement. This agreement also calls for insurance benefits for seven months. Finally, the agreement contains a Consultant Confidentiality, Invention Assignment and Non-Compete Agreement that contains restrictive covenants that include a one year non-compete following the completion of Mr. Harrell’s 18 months of consulting, and an inventions assignment clause during the term of his consulting relationship.

 

Other Key Events in 2015

 

We secured a strategic investment from WPP of approximately $4.7 million. The completion of this transaction represents a significant expansion of our relationship with WPP, the largest marketing services company in the world, and Lynn Vos, CEO of WPP’s subsidiary, Grey Healthcare Group, has joined our Board. We have hired a top executive to focus on overall client services, including the WPP relationship, and to focus on expanding opportunities available to us.

 

In addition to the strategic value, we expect the WPP relationship to provide promotional support, help add pharmaceutical brands, aid in expansion of our EHR network, expand our service offerings, and help us expand our management and infrastructure. We anticipate that that the WPP relationship will have a significant and positive impact on our business.

 

We also signed an agreement with Allscripts to become its exclusive provider of eCoupons throughout all of its platforms as well as to integrate our e-Coupons into its Touchworks network. The Touchworks platform is used by large health systems throughout the country and is expected to represent a significant expansion of our network. ECoupon functionality within Touchworks is expected to launch on a test basis in late 2016 and on a wide-scale basis in early 2017.

 

Summary

 

Despite the lengthy sales cycle involved in creating this new eCoupon market, we remain very excited about our core eCoupon business and expect acceleration to continue with the launch of additional channels and our joint pursuit of leading health systems with our pharmaceutical partners. We expect our active network to grow substantially in 2016.

 

Principal Products and Applications

 

Our principal products and applications can be summarized as follows:

 

●

SAMPLEMD - Our platform, which we refer to as SampleMD, is a revolutionary virtual "Patient Support Center" that allows doctors and staff to access a universe of sample vouchers, co-pay coupons and other patient support through their EMR and/or e-Prescribe systems to search, print or electronically dispense directly to patients and a national network of pharmacies. SampleMD eliminates the need for physicians to manage and store physical drug samples by offering a more convenient and efficient way to allocate, administer and track samples and co-pay savings provided to their patients. Today, almost 60% of doctors’ offices ban or limit drug representatives and the samples they offer. Although samples are still valuable, many healthcare systems and doctors are looking for an easier, more effective way to increase affordable access and adherence to their prescribed branded medications. Over 90% of our revenue comes through activities related to our SampleMD platform.

 

 

●

OPTIMIZEHR – Our consulting practice is focused on educating and working with pharmaceutical manufacturers on identifying, formulating, and implementing new eRx media strategies for promoting their products. Our consulting services include: 1) Drug File Integration - a service designed to better insure that manufacturers’ drugs are present in every ePrescribing platform available; 2) Sales Force Training – a service to educate the extended field sales force on this new integrated solution and what to look for within their client base to insure maximum exposure of their brands; and 3) Strategy Development – a service that assists manufactures in identifying and building a competitive strategy to take advantage of this new digital frontier. Currently, this activity results in less than 5% of our revenue, but represents a significant growth opportunity for us.

 

●

OPTIMIZERx.com – Our Direct to Consumer Website is a portal to healthcare savings for patients to centrally review and participate in prescription and healthcare savings and support programs. To date, we have over 2.4 million members who have registered. We strive to provide all the information and guidance that patients undergoing long-term pharmaceutical treatments may require. Patients can search by their medication or their condition in order to access educational information regarding their condition, information regarding their medication, coupons for instant savings when they purchase their medications, information on free drug trials, and guidance to any other savings programs available to them. At the present time, we generate no revenue through this site, but we believe it represents a significant potential future revenue source.

 

Marketing and Sales

 

We continue to extend our marketing efforts to build both brand and capabilities awareness in the market. As previously discussed, we continue to actively participate in industry and partner events such as exlPharma and the ACE – Allscripts Users Conference, as well as taking a lead sponsor position in the CBInet eRx and EHR conferences in March and October of 2015. We are also the named sponsor of the March 2016 conference. During the course of the year, we also initiated and delivered successful email marketing campaigns, which generated viable leads for our sales force.

 

In 2015, we also announced the expansion of our strategic partnership with WPP/Grey Health Group, a leading agency within the healthcare marketplace, which included a significant investment by an affiliated entity of WPP. We plan to continue to increase our marketing efforts with all of our strategic partners, as we intend to continue to promote our platform primarily through the following:

 

	●	Industry and Partner Events;

	●	Email Campaigns;

	●	Internet Marketing;

	●	Public Relations Campaigns;

	●	Physician Offices;

	●	Direct to Consumer Marketing;

	●	Trade Media Advertising;

	●	Pharmacy Partners;

	●	Physician Organizations and Associations; and

●

Strategic Relationships.

 

Competition

 

Our platform competes in the highly competitive pharmaceutical and healthcare advertising industry that is dominated by large well-known companies with established names, solid market niches, wide arrays of product offerings and marketing networks. Coupon offerings compete for pharmaceutical budgets with a variety of other forms of advertising and promotion.

 

 

Despite these overall competitors, we do not have major competition in our specific portion of the market. We have been experiencing a growing list of potential partners whom either have content that they want to deliver through our distribution engine and network, or whom have complementary technology and want to integrate our solution as a channel partner, expanding our reach to clinicians. The primary competitors in our space of the market are PDR Network, LLC and Physicians Interactive Holdings, Inc. However, we believe our breadth of brands offered, extensive list of pharmaceutical clients, and the vast reach of our network give us a substantial advantage and allow us to achieve a dominant position in the marketplace.

 

Intellectual Property

 

In 2012, we were awarded a patent for our innovative solution (US Patent No. 8,341,015). This award was a result of our extensive research and development efforts. The awarded claims cover our ability to electronically process, display and distribute eligible prescription savings on the medications and therapies healthcare providers wish to prescribe for their patients.

 

We have hired Harness, Dickey & Pierce, a nationally ranked IP firm, to further expand and protect our intellectual property. Through them, we have filed two additional patents on our technology. We believe our current and expanding IP will allow us to continue being the leader in this rapidly growing space. We stand ready to prepare additional filings, as necessary, to protect our intellectual property on any forthcoming solutions that will further assist and support physicians, pharmacists and patients.

Government Regulation

 

Fraud and Abuse Laws

 

Anti-Kickback Statutes

 

The federal healthcare program Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, offering, receiving or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, in exchange for or to induce either the referral of an individual for, or the furnishing, arranging for or recommending a good or service for which payment may be made in whole or part under a federal healthcare program such as Medicare or Medicaid. The definition of remuneration has been broadly interpreted to include anything of value, including for example gifts, discounts, the furnishing of supplies or equipment, credit arrangements, payments of cash and waivers of payments. Several courts have interpreted the statute's intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of an arrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals or otherwise generate business involving goods or services reimbursed in whole or in part under federal healthcare programs, the statute has been violated. The law contains a few statutory exceptions, including payments to bona fide employees, certain discounts and certain payments to group purchasing organizations. Violations can result in significant penalties, imprisonment and exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs. Exclusion of a manufacturer would preclude any federal healthcare program from paying for its products. In addition, kickback arrangements can provide the basis for an action under the Federal False Claims Act, which is discussed in more detail below. The Anti-Kickback Statute is broad and potentially prohibits many arrangements and practices that are lawful in businesses outside of the healthcare industry. Recognizing that the Anti-Kickback Statute is broad and may technically prohibit many innocuous or beneficial arrangements, the Office of Inspector General of Health and Human Services, or OIG, issued a series of regulations, known as the safe harbors, beginning in July 1991. These safe harbors set forth provisions that, if all the applicable requirements are met, will assure healthcare providers and other parties that they will not be prosecuted under the Anti-Kickback Statute. The failure of a transaction or arrangement to fit precisely within one or more safe harbors does not necessarily mean that it is illegal or that prosecution will be pursued. However, conduct and business arrangements that do not fully satisfy each applicable safe harbor may result in increased scrutiny by government enforcement authorities such as the OIG. Arrangements that implicate the Anti-Kickback Law, and that do not fall within a safe harbor, are analyzed by the OIG on a case-by-case basis. Government officials have focused recent enforcement efforts on, among other things, the sales and marketing activities of healthcare companies, and recently have brought cases against individuals or entities with personnel who allegedly offered unlawful inducements to potential or existing customers in an attempt to procure their business. Settlements of these cases by healthcare companies have involved significant fines and/or penalties and in some instances criminal pleas. In addition to the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute, many states have their own kickback laws. Often, these laws closely follow the language of the federal law, although they do not always have the same exceptions or safe harbors. In some states, these anti-kickback laws apply with respect to all payors, including commercial health insurance companies.

 

 

False Claims Laws

 

Federal false claims laws prohibit any person from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, a false claim for payment to the federal government or knowingly making, or causing to be made, a false statement to get a false claim paid. Manufacturers can be held liable under false claims laws, even if they do not submit claims to the government, if they are found to have caused submission of false claims. The Federal Civil False Claims Act also includes whistle blower provisions that allow private citizens to bring suit against an entity or individual on behalf of the United States and to recover a portion of any monetary recovery. Many of the recent highly publicized settlements in the healthcare industry related to sales and marketing practices have been cases brought under the False Claims Act. The majority of states also have statutes or regulations similar to the federal false claims laws, which apply to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs, or, in several states, apply regardless of the payor. Sanctions under these federal and state laws may include civil monetary penalties, exclusion of a manufacturer's products from reimbursement under government programs, criminal fines and imprisonment.

 

Privacy and Security

 

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, and the rules promulgated there under require certain entities, referred to as covered entities, to comply with established standards, including standards regarding the privacy and security of protected health information, or PHI. HIPAA further requires that covered entities enter into agreements meeting certain regulatory requirements with their business associates, as such term is defined by HIPAA, which, among other things, obligate the business associates to safeguard the covered entity's PHI against improper use and disclosure. While not directly regulated by HIPAA, our customers or distributors might face significant contractual liability pursuant to such an agreement if the business associate breaches the agreement or causes the covered entity to fail to comply with HIPAA. It is possible that HIPPA compliance could become a substantial regulatory burden and expense to our operations, although we do not believe that this will occur as a general website publisher.

 

Employees

 

As of the date of this Prospectus, we had 14 full-time employees and 4 part-time employees, in addition to contracted programmers, as needed, through our established relationship with Simple eSolutions, a technical and programming resources partner.

 

Subsidiaries

 

We conduct our operations through our wholly-owned subsidiary, OptimizeRx Corporation, a Michigan corporation.

 

Description of Property

 

Currently, we do not own any real estate. Our principal executive offices are located at 400 Water Street, Suite 200, Rochester, Michigan, 48307. We initially entered into a 3 year lease for this 3,648 square foot facility, with a cost of $5,049.25 per month. We renewed that lease for a two year period on December 1, 2014 for a monthly rental rate of $5,201.50. We believe that our properties are adequate for our current needs, but growth potential may require larger facilities due to anticipated addition of personnel. We do not have any policies regarding investments in real estate, securities or other forms of property.

 

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015

 

Revenues

 

Our total revenue reported for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was approximately $1.76 million, an increase of 18% over the approximately $1.49 million from the same period in 2015. These increased revenues result from both increased pharmaceutical brands being promoted and expanded distribution channels. We expect quarter over quarter revenue increases for the balance of 2016.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Our cost of sales, composed of revenue share expense, increased over the same period in 2015 as a result of the revenue increases. Our revenue share expense as a percentage of revenue remained relatively constant at approximately 51% in both periods. We expect this percentage to gradually decrease in future quarters as we implement new channels with lower revenue share percentages and as we update our existing agreements to share third party costs, with a goal of a decrease of at least 5%.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses increased from approximately $850,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 to approximately $1.23 million for the same period in 2016, an increase of approximately 46%. The detail by major category is reflected in the table below.

 

		Three months ended March 31
		2016				2015
Salaries, Wages, & Benefits		$	557,206			$	395,199
Stock-based compensation			106,384				79,591
Professional Fees			179,278				73,420
Board Compensation			12,500				12,500
Investor Relations			28,019				25,962
Consultants			31,323				21,115
Advertising and Promotion			70,765				43,150
Depreciation and Amortization			50,268				79,668
Development and Maintenance			74,616				50,414
Office, Facility, and other			43,440				33,058
Travel			74,765				28,532
Total Operating Expense		$	1,228,564			$	842,610

 

The largest increases in operating expenses related to human resource costs and professional fees. Since the first quarter of 2015, we have hired a Vice President of Client Services, a Senior Vice President of Business Development, an additional Vice President of Sales, and a new CEO. The first quarter of 2016 includes an overlap period in the CEO position where our new CEO started in February and our previous CEO remained on the payroll until March 31. These new hires also resulted in increases in benefits, payroll taxes, and travel. Our professional fees increased significantly as a result of the litigation described in the footnotes to our financial statements. Both of our legal cases are in active periods and we expect to continue to incur significant costs related to the litigation.

 

We expect our overall operating expenses to continue to increase as we further implement our business plan and expand our operations.

 

Net Loss

 

Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was approximately $350,000 as compared to a loss of approximately $110,000 during the same period in 2015. The reasons for specific components are discussed above. Overall, the increased margin resulting from the increased sales was offset by the increased operating expenses described above.

 

 

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014

 

Revenues

 

Our total revenue reported for the year ended December 31, 2015 was approximately $7.2 million, an increase of 11% from the year ended December 31, 2014. This increased revenue resulted from increases in all major revenue categories including setup fees, reporting fees, and e-Coupon distributions and resulted from both increased pharmaceutical brands being promoted and expanded distribution channels. We expect continued revenue increases in 2016.

 

Because the pharmaceutical industry is dominated by large companies with multiple brands, our revenue is concentrated in a relatively small number of companies. We have approximately 25 pharmaceutical companies as customers and we received approximately 52% of our revenue in the year ended December 31, 2015 from our largest 5 customers, with approximately 20% of revenue from our largest customer. During the year ended December 31, 2014, approximately 64% of revenue came from our 5 largest customers, with 20% from our largest customer. While we are still dependent on major customers, as our customer base expands, we are becoming less dependent on any one customer.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Our total cost of sales, composed of revenue share expense, increased in the year ended December 31, 2015, over the year ended December 31, 2014 as a result of the revenue increases. In addition, revenue share expense as a percentage of revenue in 2015 increased over 2014 from approximately 49.5% in the year ended December 31, 2014 to approximately 50.1% in the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

These increases in revenue share expense as a percentage of revenue result from a combination of factors, including product mix whereby a larger percentage of overall revenues are subject to revenue share. We expect revenue share expense as a percentage of revenue in 2016 to continue at levels similar to, or greater than, that of 2015 as revenues subject to revenue share expense continues to increase as a percentage of our overall revenues. In addition, our comarketing agreement with WPP requires us to pay revenue share to WPP agencies on new brands secured for us by those agencies. If we successfully expand revenue through the WPP relationship, our revenue share percentage will increase.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses decreased to approximately $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 from approximately $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of approximately 3%. The detail by major category is reflected in the table below.

 

		Years Ended December 31
		2015				2014
Salaries, Wages, & Benefits		$	1,788,471			$	1,477,450
Professional Fees			397,566				242,169
Board Compensation			50,000				19,565
Investor Relations			80,618				110,998
Consultants			66,985				72,487
Advertising and Promotion			47,927				87,201
Depreciation and Amortization			333,950				264,340
Development and Maintenance			290,371				189,566
Exclusivity Fee			250,000				-
Office, Facility, and other			151,826				140,101
Travel			157,062				131,637
Subtotal			3,614,776				2,735,514
Stock-based compensation			581,106				1,172,242
Lawsuit settlement			-				400,000
Total Operating Expense		$	4,195,882			$	4,307,756

 

 

The main reasons for the overall decrease in operating expenses in 2015 are the substantial decrease in stock based compensation from 2014 to 2015 and the absence of a lawsuit settlement in 2015. Ignoring those items, operating expenses increased approximately 32% as a result of building a solid base for future growth.

 

Within the remaining operating expenses, there were a variety of increases. Salaries, wages and benefits increased as a result of additional staff in 2015, as well as bonuses to executive officers totaling $195,000. We expect additional increases in compensation in 2016 as we hire additional high-level staff, as well as the impact of a full year of 2015 hires and the payout and severance benefits we are required to pay to our prior CEO. Professional fees increased as a result of the litigation in process, primarily related to the PDR/LDM lawsuit. We expect a continued increase in professional fees in 2016 as a result of increased activity on our litigation. Advertising and promotion increased as a result of our sponsorship of e-Coupon conferences. Development and maintenance increased as a result of expansion of our system capacity and capabilities and the move to a more robust Oracle database. Exclusivity fees of $250,000 in 2015 resulted from the initial payment related to the Allscripts Touchworks integration. An additional $650,000 is due under the Allscripts Touchworks agreement when e-Coupon functionality becomes widely available within the Touchworks platform, which is expected to be in early 2017.

 

Net Loss

 

We finished the year ended December 31, 2015 with a loss of approximately $600,000, as compared to a loss of approximately $1.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2014. The reasons for specific components are discussed above. Overall, we had an increase in revenue and resulting gross margin as well as decreased operating expenses. In addition, the loss in both periods included noncash items. We had approximately $600,000 of stock based compensation and $335,000 of depreciation and amortization in 2015, and approximately $1.2 million related to stock based compensation and approximately $265,000 of depreciation and amortization in 2014. Excluding noncash expenses, we would have been profitable in both years. In addition, ignoring working capital changes, we had positive cash flow from operations in both years - approximately $325,000 during the year ended December 31, 2015 and approximately $400,000 during the year ended December 31, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2016, we had total current assets of approximately $9.9 million, compared with current liabilities of approximately $2.6 million, resulting in working capital of approximately $7.3 million and a current ratio of approximately 3.8 to 1, similar to the working capital of approximately $7.8 million and current ratio of 3.3 to 1 at December 31, 2015.

 

Our cash flow for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was negatively impacted by a one-time payment of $720,415 to our previous CEO in lieu of issuance of approximately 595,000 common shares due to him from prior years. This payment impacts two sections of the statement of cash flows. As discussed in more detail below, a portion of these shares were reflected in accounts payable and payment of that portion affects cash flow from operations. The remaining portion was reflected in stock payable in the equity section and payment affected cash used in financing activities.

 

Following is a table with summary data from the consolidated statement of cash flows for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, as presented and after removing the effect of this payment.

 

		As presented				Adjusted to remove effect of one-time payment
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities		$	(286,087	)		$	76,913
Net cash used in investing activities			(15,802	)			(15,802	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities			(357,415	)			-
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents		$	(659,304	)		$	61,111

 

Our operating activities used approximately $286,000 in cash flow during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with cash generated of approximately $86,000 in the same period in 2015. This decrease resulted from the payment of $363,000 to our previous CEO to extinguish the accounts payable related to the purchase of a patent from the CEO in 2010. Excluding that one-time payment, we would have had positive cash flow from operations of approximately $76,000.

 

We used approximately $16,000 in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared with approximately $23,000 in the same period in 2015. These investment activities relate to improvements implemented in our SampleMD website, equipment purchases, and expansion of our patent portfolio.

 

We used approximately $357,000 in financing activities by retiring stock payable due to our previous CEO. These shares were due as a result of previously granted stock awards in 2014 and 2015, for which shares had not yet been issued. These shares were recorded as stock payable on the balance sheet at December 31, 2015.

 

As of December 31, 2015, we had total current assets of approximately $11.1 million, compared with current liabilities of approximately $3.4 million, resulting in working capital of approximately $6.7 million and a current ratio of approximately 3.3 to 1. This significant improvement over the working capital balance of approximately $3.2 million and the current ratio of 2.3 to 1 at December 31, 2014 is largely a result of our financing transaction with WPP. We are currently generating positive cash flow from operations and we expect our working capital balance to continue to improve in future quarters.

 

 

Our operating activities generated approximately $500,000 in the year ended December 31, 2015 as comparted with approximately $50,000 used by operating activities in the year ended December 31, 2014. The positive cash flow from operations in the year ended December 31, 2015 resulted from positive cash flow from operations prior to working capital items of approximately $350,000 and approximately $250,000 of working capital improvements. We expect to have positive cash flow from operations in future quarters in 2016, however severance payments due at the end of March 2016, may make that unlikely in Q1.

 

We used approximately $400,000 in investing activities in the year ended December 31, 2014 compared with about $100,000 in the year ended December 31, 2015. These investment activities relate to improvements being implemented in our SampleMD website, as well as protection and expansion of our patent portfolio. These items both represent important components of our business strategy moving forward. The 2014 was significantly higher as a result of the launch of our upgraded SampleMD 2.0 platform in early 2014, as well as the initial work on our migration to Oracle Software started in 2014 and completed in 2015. 

 

Financing activities provided approximately $4.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2015, resulting from the strategic investment of approximately $4.7 million by WPP, net of costs associated with the investment. Financing activities provided approximately $2.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2014. This results from a $10 million equity raise in March 2014, partially offset by costs of the raise and redemption of all the common stock, preferred stock, and warrants held by a major shareholder that significantly reduced the potential fully diluted shares count, even when considering the new equity issued. With the financing and cash on hand, we have sufficient cash to operate our business for more than the next twelve months and we do not anticipate the need to raise additional equity for operating purposes.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2016, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

  

Critical Accounting Policies

 

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our accounting policies are discussed in the footnotes to our financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, however we consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to the amount of revenue to be billed, the timing of revenue recognition, calculation of revenue share expense, stock-based compensation, capitalization and related amortization of intangible assets, and impairment of assets.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operation, financial position or cash flow.

 

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

 

Other than described below or the transactions described under the heading “Executive Compensation” (or with respect to which such information is omitted in accordance with SEC regulations), there have not been, and there is not currently proposed, any transaction or series of similar transactions to which we were or will be a participant in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last three completed fiscal years, and in which any director, executive officer, holder of 5% or more of any class of our capital stock or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

 

 

During the year ended December 31, 2015, WPP made a strategic investment in the Company and is a shareholder that owns approximately 20% of the shares of the Company. During 2015, we had billings of $420,503 to agencies that are part of the WPP group and recognized revenue of $178,855 related to those billings. As of December 31, 2015, we have receivables included in trade receivables on the balance sheet of $381,125 from WPP agencies and amounts due to WPP agencies included in revenue share payable of $37,803 as of December 31, 2015.

 

On September 24, 2015, we entered into an Investor Rights Agreement with WPP Luxembourg (the “Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to the following:

 

●

Demand Registration Rights. We granted the Investor registration rights for the 6,011,106 acquired from us and any securities acquired in connection with an Amended and Restated Co-Marketing Agreement after a period of two years.

 

●

Inspection Rights. So long as the Investor owns not less than 25% of the Shares, we granted the Investor an annual right to inspect our books and records.

 

●

Observer Rights. So long as the Investor owns not less than 25% of the Shares, we will allow the Investor to choose a representative to attend our board meetings as a nonvoting observer.

 

●

Board Seat. So long as the Investor owns not less than 25% of the Shares, we agreed to appoint a nominee of the Investor as a member of our board of directors. We also agreed to a five member Board of Directors provided that it is not prohibited by the rules and regulations of an exchange that we trade on. We also agreed to enter into an Indemnity Agreement with the nominee.

 

●

Budget Review. So long as the Investor owns not less than 25% of the Shares, we agreed to review our budget plans with the Investor’s nominee prior to submission to the Board of Directors, at the request of the Investor.

 

●

Right of First Refusal. We agreed that, in the event that it proposes to sell new securities, we will first offer such new securities to the Investor.

 

●

Special Approval Matters. So long as the Investor owns not less than 25% of the Shares, and provided that it is not prohibited by the rules and regulations of an exchange that we trades on, we agreed that 80% Board approval will be required for certain decisions, including:

 

●

the incurrence of any indebtedness in excess of $1.5 million in the aggregate during any fiscal year

 

●

the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets;

 

●

the acquisition of any assets or properties (in one or more related transactions) for cash or otherwise for an amount in excess of $1.5 million in the aggregate during any fiscal year;

 

●

capital expenditures in excess of $1.5 million individually (or in the aggregate if related to an integrated program of activities) or in excess of $1.5 million in the aggregate during any fiscal year;

 

●

making, or permitting any subsidiary to make, loans to, investments in, or purchasing, or permitting any subsidiary to purchase, any stock or other securities in another corporation, joint venture, partnership or other entity;

 

●

the commencement or settlement of any lawsuit, arbitration or other legal proceeding related to our intellectual property or involving an amount in controversy greater than $1.5 million; and

 

●

the issuance of new securities, except for securities issued under an equity incentive plan and any issuance of common stock to vendors, advisors, financial institutions, suppliers or joint venturers that do not exceed, individually or in the aggregate 5% of then issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company.

 

 

On September 24, 2015, we amended and restated an existing Co-Marketing Agreement with Grey Healthcare Group, LLC (“GHG”) an affiliate of WPP (the “Amended and Restated Co-Marketing Agreement”). The Amended and Restated Co-Marketing Agreement was amended to give the GHG the option to receive all or part of the compensation due under the agreement in shares of our common stock. Shares issuable under the Amended and Restated Co-Marketing Agreement will be issued to WPP or any other affiliate of GHG designated in writing by GHG at the following rates:

 

●

Until June 30, 2016, we will issue the number of shares of common stock equal to GHG’s share of net revenues received for sales of new services to GHG or Company clients (“GHG Net Revenues”) divided by $0.7875.

 

●

After June 30, 2016, we will issue the number of shares of common stock equal to the GHG Net Revenues divided by a price equal to 80% multiplied by the average trading price of one share of common stock during the 30 trading day period immediately prior to the date of the most recent statement of GHG Net Revenues set forth by the Company.

 

On March 17, 2014, we raised gross proceeds of $10,000,000 in an unregistered offering (the “Offering”) with certain accredited investors. We used a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering to exercise the Securities Redemption Option Agreement, as amended, with Vicis Capital Master Fund (“Vicis”) that provides us with an option to purchase all of the outstanding shares and derivative securities held by Vicis for total payment of six million dollars ($6,000,000). The shares and derivative securities include the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, Common Stock, and warrants to purchase shares of common stock held by Vicis in our company. In connection with this fundraising, we agreed to grant 200,000 shares of fully vested common stock to officers David, Harrell, David Lester, and Terry Hamilton.

 

In February 2014, we agreed to grant 337,500 shares of common stock, half of which vested immediately and half of which vested in August 2014, to both David Harrell and Terry Hamilton as bonuses based on their efforts to recapitalize the company to secure approximately $3 million in working capital while reducing potential fully diluted shares by approximately 7 million shares. Stock-based compensation related to these bonuses was $570,375 during the year ended December 31, 2014. These shares have not yet been issued and are recorded as stock payable, but can be requested by the officers at any time.

 

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

Market Information

 

Our common stock is quoted under the symbol “OPRX” on the OTCQB operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc.  Only a limited market exists for our securities. There is no assurance that a regular trading market will develop, or if developed, that it will be sustained. Therefore, a shareholder may be unable to resell his securities in our company.

 

The following tables set forth the range of high and low prices for our common stock for the each of the periods indicated as reported by the OTCQB. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

Penny Stock

 

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

 

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.

 

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

 

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.

 

Holders of Our Common Stock

 

As of June 2, 2016, we had 29,077,660 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by 320 shareholders of record at our transfer agent, with holding our shares in street name.

 

Dividends

 

We currently intend to retain future earnings for the operation of our business. We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

In the event that a dividend is declared, common stockholders on the record date are entitled to share ratably in any dividends that may be declared from time to time on the common stock by our board of directors from funds legally available.

 

There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that restrict us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:

 

1.

We would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or

 

2.

Our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities, plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

On June 13, 2013, our Board of Directors adopted the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility with us, to provide additional incentive to employees, directors and consultants, and to promote our success. Under the initial Plan, we were able to issue up to an aggregate total of 1,500,000 incentive or non-qualified options to purchase our common stock, or stock awards. In March, 2016, the Board expanded the number of shares issuable under the plan to 4,000,000.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

MARCH 31, 2016

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

We are a technology solution company focused on the health care industry. Our objective is to bring better access to better care by leveraging our proprietary technology to provide on demand savings and clinical messaging within physicians’ and patients’ web based platforms, including Electronic Health Records, e-prescribing platforms, pharmacies and Patient Portals. Initially defined as a marketing and advertising company through its consumer website, OptimizeRx.com, we have matured as a technology solutions provider through our direct to physician solutions, which allows physicians to automatically display and distribute sample vouchers and/or co-pay coupons electronically within the ePrescription platform to pharmacies on behalf of their patients. The OptimizeRx solution is integrated into the ePrescribing or Electronic Medical Records applications, but can also be accessed on their mobile device as well as an application on a prescriber’s desktop.

 

Our solutions provide health care institutions with an alternative option to the traditional inefficiencies and issues associated with storing and managing physical drug samples and pre-printed coupons and provides better access and affordability to patients to improve affordability, adherence, education and outcomes. In turn, we provide pharmaceutical manufacturers with both direct to consumer and direct to physician channels for more efficiently communicating and promoting their products and savings with a method of transparent return on investment.

 

The consolidated financial statements for the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 have been prepared by us without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of March 31, 2016 and 2015, and for the periods then ended, have been made. Those adjustments consist of normal and recurring adjustments. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date.

 

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with a reading of the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation.

 

NOTE 2 – STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY

 

As described in greater detail in Note 4, related party transactions, in February 2016, we made a one-time payment of $720,415 to our previous CEO in lieu of issuing shares owed to him from prior years. A portion of this payment, $357,415, was for 295,384 shares of common stock reflected in stock payable at December 31, 2015.

 

In March 2016, we issued 12,500 shares of common stock to Independent Directors in connection with our Director Compensation plan which calls for issuance of 6,250 shares per quarter to each Independent Director. These shares were valued at $13,125. In January 2015, we issued 12,500 shares of common stock to our Independent Directors in connection with the same compensation plan. Those shares were recorded as stock payable at December 31, 2014. In addition, we recorded an additional 12,500 shares, valued at $16,375 as stock payable at March 31, 2015 for shares to be issued in April 2015.

 

In February 2015, we entered into a capital markets advisory agreement covering a one year period, which calls for 90,000 shares of common stock to be issued as compensation. These shares were valued at $112,500 and are being amortized to expense over the period of service. Of these shares, 45,000 were issued in March 2015, and the balance were issued in August 2015.

NOTE 3 – SHARE BASED PAYMENTS – OPTIONS

 

We use the fair value method to account for stock based compensation. We recorded $79,459 and $53,841 in compensation expense in the periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to options issued under our stock-based incentive compensation plan. This includes expense related to options issued in prior years for which the requisite service period for those options includes the current year as well as options issued in the current year. The fair value of these instruments was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Information related to the assumptions used in this model is set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

 

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

In February 2016, after hiring a new CEO, we paid our previous CEO $720,415 in lieu of issuing him 595,384 shares of common stock based on the 50 day average price of $1.21 per share. A total of 295,384 of these shares were due as a result of previously granted stock awards in 2014 and 2015, for which shares had not yet been issued. These shares were recorded as stock payable on the balance sheet at December 31, 2015. The remaining 300,000 shares were due in connection with the purchase of a patent from the previous CEO in 2010. These shares were recorded as accounts payable – related party on the balance sheet at December 31, 2015. The difference between the value the shares were initially recorded at in 2010 and the amount they were redeemed at in 2016 was recorded as additional paid in capital.

 

Also, in April 2016, we and the previous CEO entered into a separation agreement and an 18 month consulting agreement, both of which we recently disclosed in a Form 8-K that we filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The consulting agreement set forth the terms of the previous CEO’s continued relationship with our company. He remained our employee through March 31, 2016 and the consulting agreement began April 1, 2016. Under the terms of the consulting agreement, he will receive a monthly payment of $15,000, with the potential for up to $54,000 in additional bonus payments during the term of the agreement. This agreement also calls for total payments of $12,425 related to insurance benefits. The separation agreement and consulting agreement replace and supersede all previously disclosed payments related to his severance and board fees.

 

NOTE 5 – CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation

 

The company is currently involved in the following legal proceedings.

 

In September, 2014, we initiated litigation against Shadron Stastney, our CEO from January to December 2013, in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Michigan as a result of a dispute related to his separation agreement. Mr. Stastney alleged damages related to the non-registration of shares that he was granted as part of his separation agreement signed in September 2013. Under the terms of the contract we are not obligated to register the shares and we deny any obligation to do so. We have requested declarative relief from the court and also requested an injunction from the court preventing Mr. Stastney from continuing to pursue his claims. Mr. Stastney has filed a counterclaim requesting damages of $450,000 related to the non-registration of his shares. The parties are currently in the discovery process and a dispositive motion has been filed by Mr. Stastney. We are in the process of preparing our response to the motion.

NOTE 5 – CONTINGENCIES (continued)

 

In March, 2015, we initiated litigation against LDM Group, LLC and PDR Network, LLC in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Missouri related to the breach by LDM, and PDR as successor, of the settlement agreement signed February 28, 2014 related to previous litigation with LDM. LDM has failed to live up to its obligations under the settlement agreement including, but not limited to, not allowing us to distribute our eCoupon programs in the LDM network, not allowing us to distribute the LDM patient education programs, and not providing other information required under the settlement agreement. We are seeking enforcement of the settlement agreement and we are seeking damages in an amount at least equal to the amounts paid to date to LDM under the settlement agreement, which is in excess of $1.0 million, as well as damages for lost income and business value as a result of LDM’s breach of the agreement.

 

In March, 2015, we also initiated litigation against PDR Network, LLC in the U.S. District Court in the District of New Jersey as a result of PDR’s breach of the Master Services Agreement between the parties requiring PDR to exclusively use our eCoupon solution. We assert that PDR’s acquisition of LDM and the use of the LDM network to distribute coupons by PDR violates the agreement between the parties and we are seeking damages in an amount at least equal the amounts paid to date by us to LDM under the settlement agreement, which is in excess of $1.0 million, as well as damages for lost income and business value as a result of PDR’s actions.

 

In May, 2015, we filed an amended complaint in the Missouri case to consolidate the two cases and withdrew the case against PDR Networks in the U.S. District Court in the District of New Jersey, without prejudice. In July, 2015, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri dismissed the case, citing lack of Federal jurisdiction in the matter. We refiled the consolidated case against PDR Network and LDM group in State court in Missouri. The defendants have filed a motion to dismiss two of the four counts in the consolidated complaint. In January, 2016, the Court dismissed one of our four claims, but allowed the other three to continue forward. The parties are currently in the discovery process.

 

NOTE 6 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In accordance with ASC 855-10, we have analyzed our operations subsequent to March 31, 2016 through the date these financial statements were issued and have determined that we do not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements other than the events described below.

 

In April 2016, we issued 34,235 shares of common stock in connection with the cashless exercise of an expiring option to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock previously granted to a consultant.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Board of Directors

OptimizeRx Corporation

Rochester, MI

 

To Whom It May Concern:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of OptimizeRx Corporation as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of OptimizeRx Corporation as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

OPTIMIZERx CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2015

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

OptimizeRx Corporation is a technology solutions company targeting the healthcare industry. Our objective is to bring better access to better healthcare through connecting patients, physicians and pharmaceutical manufacturers through technology. Originally defined as a marketing and advertising company through our consumer website, we have matured into a technology solutions provider with our direct to physician solution, SampleMD. SampleMD allows physicians to search, print and send available sample trial vouchers and/or co-pay coupons on behalf of their patients. The SampleMD solution is integrated into the physician’s ePrescribing or Electronic Health Record applications, but can also be a stand-alone desktop application. OptimizeRx solutions provide pharmaceutical manufacturers a direct to physician channel for communicating and promoting their products. It allows healthcare providers a means to provide sampling and coupons without having to physically store samples on site, and it provides better access and affordability to patients.

 

The company was originally formed as Optimizer Systems, LLC in the State of Michigan on January 31, 2006. It converted its form to a corporation on October 22, 2007 and changed its name to OptimizeRx Corporation. On April 14, 2008, RFID, Ltd., a Colorado corporation, consummated a reverse merger by entering into a share exchange agreement with the stockholders of OptimizeRx Corporation, pursuant to which the stockholders of OptimizeRx Corporation exchanged all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of OptimizeRx Corporation for 1,256,958 shares of common stock of RFID, Ltd., representing 100% of the outstanding capital stock of RFID, Ltd. As of April 30, 2008, RFID’s officers and directors resigned their positions and RFID changed its business to OptimizeRx’s business. On April 15, 2008, RFID, Ltd.’s corporate name was changed to OptimizeRx Corporation. On September 4, 2008, a migratory merger was completed, thereby changing the state of incorporation from Colorado to Nevada, resulting in the current corporate structure, in which OptimizeRx Corporation, a Nevada corporation, is the parent corporation, and OptimizeRx Corporation, a Michigan corporation, is its wholly-owned subsidiary (together, "OptimizeRx" and "the Company").

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.

 

Accounting Basis

The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting). The Company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year-end.

 

Principles of Consolidation

The financial statements reflect the consolidated results of OptimizeRx Corporation (a Nevada corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiary, OptimizeRx Corporation (a Michigan corporation). All material inter-company transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the accompanying financial statements, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

 

OPTIMIZERx CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2015

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accounts payable – related party, accrued expenses and deferred revenue approximates the carrying amount of these financial instruments due to their short-term nature.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including our own credit risk.

 

In addition to defining fair value, the disclosure requirements around fair value establish a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs, which is expanded. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels, which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

 

Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

 

Level 2 – inputs are based upon significant observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques. The Company’s stock options and warrants are valued using level 3 inputs.

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, which consist of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, patent rights, web development costs, accounts payable, accounts payable – related party, accrued expenses and deferred revenue, are valued using level 1 inputs. The Company believes that the recorded values approximate their fair value due to the short maturity of such instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, exchange or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are reported at realizable value, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, which is estimated and recorded in the period the related revenue is recorded. The Company has a standardized approach to estimate and review the collectability of its receivables based on a number of factors, including the period they have been outstanding. Historical collection and payer reimbursement experience is an integral part of the estimation process related to allowances for doubtful accounts. In addition, the Company regularly assesses the state of its billing operations in order to identify issues, which may impact the collectability of these receivables or reserve estimates. Because the Company’s customers are primarily large well-capitalized companies, historically there has been very little bad debt expense. Bad debt expense was $0 for each of the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 as of both December 31, 2015 and 2014.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Property and Equipment

Capital assets are being depreciated over their estimated useful lives of three to seven years using the straight-line method of depreciation for book purposes.

 

Revenue Recognition and Revenue Share Expense

Revenue is recognized when it is earned. Revenues are primarily generated from our content delivery activities in which we deliver eCoupons and eVouchers through a distribution network of ePrescribers and Electronic Health Record technology providers (channel partners), or from reselling services that complement our business for other of our partners.

 

We recognize setup fees that are required for integrating client offerings and campaigns into our rule-based content delivery system and network upon completion of the setup when the client’s campaign is ready to launch within our system. As the eCoupons and or eVouchers are distributed through our platform and network of channel partners (a transaction), these transactions are recorded and revenue is recognized at the time of distribution. Revenue for transactions can be realized based on a price per distribution, a price per redemption, or as a flat fee over a period of time, depending on the client contract. Additionally, the Company also recognizes revenue for providing program performance reporting and maintenance, either by the Company directly delivering reports or by providing access to its online reporting portal that the client can utilize. These fees are charged monthly and recognized as recurring monthly revenue.

 

In some instances, we also resell products and or services that are available through our channel partners, and that are complementary to our core business and client base. In these instances, net revenue is recognized based on the commission based revenue split that the Company receives.

 

Based on the volume of transactions that are delivered through our channel partner network, we provide a revenue share to compensate the partner for their promotion of the campaign. Revenue shares are a negotiated percentage of the transaction fees and can also be specific to special considerations and campaigns. In addition, we pay revenue share to PDR/LDM as a result of a 2014 legal settlement in an amount equal to the greater of 10% of eCoupon distribution revenues generated or $0.37 per eCoupon distributed. The contractual amount due to our channel partners is recorded as an expense at the time the eCoupon is distributed.

 

Income Taxes

Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. Estimates and assumptions have been made in determining the carrying value of assets, depreciable and amortizable lives of tangible and intangible assets, the carrying value of liabilities, the amount of revenue to be billed, and the timing of revenue recognition and related revenue share expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Concentration of Credit Risks

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts; however, amounts in excess of the federally insured limit may be at risk if the bank experiences financial difficulties.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Research and Development

The Company expenses research and development expenses as incurred. Our research efforts are focused on understanding the market dynamics that have the potential to affect the business and increase revenue in both the short and long term. Our primary goal is to increase revenue by helping patients better afford and access the medicines their doctors prescribe, as well as other healthcare products and services they need. Based on this, the Company continually seeks ways to improve its technology to enhance user experiences, and to develop new services and solutions for its customers.

 

Share-based Payments

The Company uses the fair value method to account for stock-based compensation. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered. The fair value of each award is estimated on the date of each grant. For restricted stock, the fair market value is based on the market value of the stock granted on the date of the grant. For options, it is estimated using the Black=Scholes option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Estimated volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock over the same period as the expected term of the options. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise behavior and to determine this term. The risk free rate used is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant using a time period equal to the expected option term. The Company has never paid dividends and does not expect to pay any dividends in the future.

 

		2015				2014
Expected dividend yield			0	%			0	%
Risk free interest rate			0.24% - 0.93%				0.90% - 1.44%
Expected option term			2.5 - 3.5 years				3.5 years
Turnover/forfeiture rate			0	%			0	%
Expected volatility			67% - 85%				117% - 138%

 

The Black-Scholes option valuation model and other existing models were developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. These option valuation models require the input of, and are highly sensitive to, subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. OptimizerRx’s stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the subjective input assumptions could materially affect the fair value estimate.

 

Loss Per Common and Common Equivalent Share

The computation of basic earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year plus common stock equivalents, which would arise from the exercise of warrants outstanding using the treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the year. Options, warrants and convertible preferred stock have not been included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for either year since their effect is anti-dilutive in all years presented.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

NOTE 11 – STOCK OPTIONS

 

The Company sponsors a stock-based incentive compensation plan known as the 2013 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), which was established by the Board of Directors of the Company in June 2013. A total of 1,500,000 shares were initially reserved for issuance under the Plan, of which 1,085,000 options have been granted and remain outstanding and 735,105 shares have been granted, but not issued. Of the shares granted but not issued, the Company has committed to retire 295,384 of those shares for cash. The Company has no remaining shares available to grant under the Plan, but intends to amend the Plan to increase the number of shares authorized.

 

The Plan allows the Company to grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation right, or restricted stock. The incentive stock options are exercisable for up to ten years, at an option price per share not less than the fair market value on the date the option is granted. The incentive stock options are limited to persons who are regular full-time employees of the Company at the date of the grant of the option. Non-qualified options may be granted to any person, including, but not limited to, employees, independent agents, consultants and attorneys, who the Company’s Board or Compensation Committee believes have contributed, or will contribute, to the success of the Company. Non-qualified options may be issued at option prices of less than fair market value on the date of grant and are exercisable for up to ten years from date of grant. The option vesting schedule for options granted is determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at the time of the grant. The Plan provides for accelerated vesting of unvested options if there is a change in control, as defined in the Plan.

 

Prior to establishment of the Plan, the Board granted options under terms similar to those described in the preceding paragraphs. 

 

The compensation cost that has been charged against income related to options for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, was $253,358 and $272,804, respectively. No income tax benefit was recognized in the income statement and no compensation was capitalized in any of the years presented.

NOTE 15 – INCOME TAXES

 

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $9.1 million that expire from 2027 through 2035 that are available to offset future taxable income. The Company was formed in 2006 as a limited liability company and changed to a corporation in 2007. Activity prior to incorporation is not reflected in the Company’s corporate tax returns. In the future, the cumulative net operating loss carry-forward for income tax purposes may differ from the cumulative financial statement loss due to timing differences between book and tax reporting.

 

The provision for Federal income tax consists of the following for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014:

 

		2015				2014
Federal income tax benefit attributable to:
Current operations		$	202,000			$	349,000
Permanent and Timing Differences (net)			(218,000	)			(160,000	)
Valuation allowance			16,000				(189,000	)
Net provision for federal income tax		$	0			$	0

  

The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 34% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows as of December 31, 2015 and 2014:

 

		2015				2014
Deferred tax asset attributable to:
Net operating loss carryover		$	3,110,000			$	3,126,000
Valuation allowance			(3,110,000	)			(3,126,000	)
Net deferred tax asset		$	0			$	0

 

Under certain circumstances issuance of common shares can result in an ownership change under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 which limits the Company’s ability to utilize carry forwards from prior to the ownership change. Any such ownership change resulting from stock issuances and redemptions could limit the Company’s ability to utilize any net operating loss carry forwards or credits generated before this change in ownership. These limitations can limit both the timing of usage of these laws, as well as the loss of the ability to use these net operating losses. It is likely that the fundraising activities of 2014 and 2015 have resulted in such an ownership change.

In September, 2014, we initiated litigation against Shadron Stastney, our previous CEO, in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Michigan as a result of a dispute related to his separation agreement. Mr. Stastney alleged damages related to the non-registration of shares that he was granted as part of his separation agreement signed in September 2013. Under the terms of the contract we are not obligated to register the shares and we deny any obligation to do so. We have requested declarative relief from the court and also requested an injunction to prevent Mr. Stastney from continuing to pursue his claims. Mr. Stastney has filed a counterclaim requesting damages in the amount of at least $450,000 related to the nonregistration of his shares. The parties are currently in the discovery process and a dispositive motion has been filed by Mr. Stastney. We are in the process of preparing our response to the motion.

 

In March, 2015, we initiated litigation against LDM Group, LLC and PDR Network, LLC in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Missouri related to the breach by LDM, and PDR as successor, of the settlement agreement signed February 28, 2014 to resolve previous litigation with LDM. LDM breached its obligations under the settlement agreement including, but not limited to, not allowing us to distribute our eCoupon programs in the LDM network, not allowing us to distribute the LDM patient education programs, and not providing other information required under the settlement agreement. We are seeking enforcement of the settlement agreement and damages in an amount at least equal to the amounts paid to date to LDM under the settlement agreement, which is in excess of $1.0 million, as well as damages for lost income and business value as a result of LDM’s breach of the agreement.

 

In March, 2015, we also initiated litigation against PDR Network, LLC in the U.S. District Court in the District of New Jersey as a result of PDR’s breach of the Master Services Agreement between the parties requiring PDR to exclusively use our eCoupon solution. We assert that PDR’s acquisition of LDM and the use of the LDM network to distribute coupons by PDR violates the agreement between the parties. We are seeking damages in an amount at least equal the amounts paid to date by us to LDM under the settlement agreement, which is in excess of $1.0 million, as well as damages for lost income and business value as a result of PDR’s actions.

 

In May, 2015, we filed an amended complaint in the Missouri case to consolidate the two cases and withdrew the case against PDR Networks in the U.S. District Court in the District of New Jersey, without prejudice. In July, 2015, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri dismissed the case, citing lack of Federal jurisdiction in the matter. We refiled the consolidated case against PDR Network and LDM group in State court in Missouri. The defendants filed a motion to dismissal of our claims except those for breach of contract. In January, the Court dismissed two of six claims asserted against LDM and PDR but allowed the remainder of our claims to continue forward. The parties are currently engaged in in the discovery process.

 

Revenue-share contracts

The Company has contacts with various Electronic Health Records systems and ePrescribe platforms, whereby we agree to share a portion of the revenue we generate for eCoupons distributed through their networks. These contracts grant audit rights related to the payments to our partners, and in some cases would require us to pay for the audit if the audit determined there was an underpayment and the underpayment meets certain thresholds, such as 10%.

NOTE 16 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)

 

Separation benefits

In February 2016, the Company hired a new CEO. The previous CEO will terminate as an employee effective March 31, 2016, but remain non-executive chairman of the Board. In connection with his separation from service, he will receive severance pay of 24 months, totaling approximately $405,000 and the Company will redeem 595,384 unissued common shares owing to him for an additional payment of $720,415. This includes the 300,000 shares described in Note 8, related party transactions, and 295,384 shares currently reflected in stock payable on the balance sheet.

 

Allscripts Agreement

In 2015, we signed an amendment to our Allscripts agreement whereby we became its exclusive eCoupon supplier and Allscripts agreed to integrate our eCoupon functionality into its Touchworks platform. Under the terms of this agreement, we agreed to pay $900,000 in two installments. The first installment of $250,000 was due and paid in November 2015. The second installment of $650,000 is due when the e-Coupon functionality is launched on a widespread basis in the Touchworks platform, which is currently expected to be in early 2017. If e-Coupon functionality is not launched by February, 2018, the initial payment of $250,000 will be refunded.

 

NOTE 17 – RETIREMENT PLAN

 

The Company sponsors a defined contribution 401(k) profit sharing plan which was adopted in December, 2015, effective in January 2016. Under the terms of the plan, the Company matches 100% of the first 3% of payroll contributed by the employee and 50% of the next 2% of payroll contributed by the employee to a maximum of 4% of an employee’s payroll. There was no expense under this plan in either 2014 or 2015, as the plan became effective in 2016.

 

NOTE 18 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In accordance with ASC 855-10, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to December 31, 2015 through the date these financial statements were issued and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements other than the events described below.

 

In February 2016, we made the payment of $720,415 described in more detail in Note 16 to redeem shares of stock due to our former CEO.

Item 14.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and our bylaws.

 

Under the governing Nevada statutes, director immunity from liability to a company or its shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company's articles of incorporation.  Our articles of incorporation do not contain any limiting language regarding director immunity from liability.  Excepted from this immunity are:

 

	1.	a willful failure to deal fairly with the company or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest;
	2.	a violation of criminal law (unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful);
	3.	a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and
	4.	willful misconduct.

 

Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless:

 

1.

such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law;

 

2.

the proceeding was authorized by our Board of Directors;

 

3.

such indemnification is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers  vested us under Nevada law; or;

 

4.

such indemnification is required to be made pursuant to the bylaws.

 

 

Our bylaws provide that we will advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer, of the company, or is or was serving at the request of the company as a director or executive officer of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefore, all expenses incurred by any director or officer in connection with such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under our bylaws or otherwise.

 

Our bylaws provide that no advance shall be made by us to an officer of the company, except by reason of the fact that such officer is or was a director of the company in which event this paragraph shall not apply, in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made: (a) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the company.

 

Item 15.

Placement agents in the offering received warrants to purchase up to 240,444 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $0.7875 per share and a term of 5 years.

In January 2015, we issued 12,500 shares of restricted common stock to our outside Directors as part of our director compensation package for services rendered in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Item 17.

Undertakings.

 

The registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(a)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

(b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(d) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however , that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

(e) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other that the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit of proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in the City of Rochester, State of Michigan on June 14, 2016.
