ITEM 1. BUSINESS
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Overview
KindlyMD is a patient-first healthcare and healthcare data company redefining value-based care and patient-centered medical services. Formed in 2019, KindlyMD leverages data analysis to deliver evidence-based, personalized solutions in order to reduce opioid use, improve health outcomes faster, and provide value-based, algorithmic guidance on the use of alternative medicine in healthcare.
We aspire to collect and analyze valuable data on alternative treatments as well as biopsychosocial factors to provide better health outcomes. This results in valuable data for patients, the Company, and the Company’s investors. KindlyMD aims to become a leading source of evidence-based assessment and treatment data in the fight against the opioid epidemic and a leader in redefined value-based care.
KindlyMD’s unique value proposition is to provide for a patient-focused healthcare experience that integrates traditional medical evaluation and management with mental health integration along with compliant alternative medicine education and inclusion. We focus on creating personalized care plans for each patient so they can get back to work and life faster, reduce opioid use, and have high patient satisfaction. The Company’s competitive advantage lies in its ability to overlay this integrated approach to clinics we own or work with.
Our specialty outpatient clinical services are reimbursed by Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance contracts as well as offered on a fee-for-service basis. The Company offers both in-person and telemedicine options for patients. KindlyMD provides management of, but not limited to, pain, functional medicine, cognitive behavioral therapy, addiction, recovery support services, overdose education efforts, peer support, limited urgent care, preventative medicine, medically managed weight loss, and hormone therapy.
KindlyMD’s Role in Fighting the Opioid Epidemic
The market opportunity and potential for growth in the US for companies addressing the chronic pain market is significant. According to a November 2024 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 25% of Americans suffer from chronic pain, with nearly 1 in 10 experiencing severe pain that limits daily activities or work. The Journal of Pain estimates the annual economic cost of chronic pain in the U.S. to be as high as $635.0 billion. In terms of office visits, it is estimated that over 100 million visits to healthcare providers are due to chronic pain each year.
With the rise of electronic health records (EHRs), clinics now capture trillions of data points per year. However, very few have the tools or expertise to analyze this information to uncover trends and opportunities for improving care. According to Grand View Research, the global healthcare analytics sector was valued at USD $53.0 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.1%, reaching USD $167.0 billion by 2030. Our specialization in health data may give us a distinct advantage in a rapidly expanding market, further enhancing our growth prospects. Our data offers distinct value by providing insights that are tailored to emerging fields like integrated behavioral healthcare, which we believe to be underrepresented in traditional healthcare data sources.
KindlyMD’s Enterprise Data Management (EDM) model provides a missing link by centralizing and standardizing data from various systems and empowering our clinic networks with actionable insights they can use to enhance patient outcomes. Specifically, our solutions seek to help clinics:
● Reduce the burden of opioid use in the patient population.
● Improve outcomes for patients by integrating psychological and physical function measurement data, allowing clinicians and patients to see the “whole picture” to optimize the value of care they provide and directly improve outcomes for patients.
The integration of behavioral health services into the treatment of chronic pain is in the early adoption phase of market development, with an increasing number of healthcare providers recognizing the importance of addressing the psychological factors contributing to chronic pain. According to Precedence Research, the U.S. behavioral health market was valued at approximately $89.10 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $165.38 billion by 2034.
The addition of tele-behavioral health is a high yield way to quickly penetrate a large existing market of pain clinics seeking ways to improve patient outcomes through the addition of mental health services and reduce liability. Rising demand for surgeries, increasing awareness, availability of treatment options, and the willingness to seek treatment are expected to complement the growth of the population of patients seeking treatment for pain and/or chronic pain medication use.
The combination of the large and growing chronic pain patient population, the increasing demand for data options, and the growing recognition of the importance of behavioral health in whole-patient treatments creates a significant market opportunity for companies like KindlyMD.
The four pillars of KindlyMD are:
1. Listen First. KindlyMD identifies mental health issues at the first visit and blends integrated behavioral health services into every patient care plan.
2. Integrate. Each “Integration Team” consists of a prescriber, BHC (Behavioral Health Clinician), and Care Coordinator - we see the “whole picture.”
3. Track the Data. The KindlyMD vision is to become the premier source of healthcare data around integration of mental and physical health treatment for better outcomes. We also track data to integrate an algorithm for alternative medicine into evidence-based healthcare.
4. Understand the Need. KindlyMD understands the need to address physical factors and mental health to end the opioid epidemic.
KindlyMD Headquarters
Our headquarters are located at 5097 S 900 E, Suite 100, Salt Lake City, UT 84117.
Our headquarters include 5,321 square feet of clinic and office space in Murray Utah. This offers up to ten exam and consultation rooms to our local clinical capacity. We will also use this flagship location as a training facility for new providers and staff to learn our integrated behavioral medical model.
Business Revenue Streams
We currently earn revenue through (i) patient care services related to medical evaluation and treatment, (ii) service affiliate agreements, and (iii) product retail sales. In the future, we hope to add data leasing and sales to these revenue streams.
KindlyMD is a licensed healthcare facility performing evaluation and management for non-emergent conditions in a direct care and insurance reimbursed model. We are contracted with most major insurance payers in Utah, covering over 95% of the insured population. KindlyMD focuses primarily on three visit types. 1) Patients with pain who are using opioid medications, 2) patients seeking evaluation and management for non-emergent conditions by a licensed prescriber. 3) Behavioral Therapy and guided therapy visits billed through traditional insurance or out of pocket.
Patient Care Services
Payments are received from patients directly or reimbursed from Medicare, Medicaid, or commercial insurance contracts. KindlyMD treated 20,636 patient visits during 2024 in Utah compared to 18,930 patient visits during 2023.
Behavioral Therapy and Guided Therapy Visits
Behavioral health therapy visits are integrated into the Company’s clinical model and are performed either on a fee for service basis or reimbursed through traditional insurance contracts. The clinical model includes targeted behavioral therapy sessions at each visit, plus the Company offers traditional therapy sessions with licensed therapists trained in trauma-based therapy and other modalities as described at kindlymd.com.
Service Affiliate Agreements
KindlyMD networks with local healthcare clinics to maximize our ability to increase service offerings to more individuals, including overlaying our integrated model of health care into existing clinics. We work with local healthcare facilities, the providers and administrators at the local Veterans Administration (VA), including those specializing in the evaluation and management of similar conditions as well as organizations focused on specialized procedures, treatments, and behavioral health therapy. These include referrals and cooperation in patient care plans which may include services provided by different clinics. In the future, KindlyMD may also sublease space within a primary clinic in order to expand services by an affiliate organization. These service affiliate agreements are governed by a healthcare Business Associate Agreement (BAA) as well as financial contracts, where necessary.
Data Collection and Research
KindlyMD collects valuable data through our services and interactions. Clients provide data directly, as do clinicians and staff by collecting data about interactions such as product and medication use, experiences, and behaviors. The data we collect depends on the context of the interactions with KindlyMD and the choices people make, including their privacy settings and the products and features they use. We also obtain data about customers, patients, and clients from third parties. This data may be marketed to life science companies, healthcare providers, healthcare payers, industry groups, data aggregators, and research institutions through service affiliate agreements.
Clinical and demographic data are particularly useful in understanding the needs of patients. This includes information such as names, addresses, income levels, household indicators, diagnosis, symptoms, medical history, social history, along with data from purchased products from websites and clinics, including item types, quantity, and average time before the next purchase. Information about medical conditions and medications used provides insights into the healthcare requirements of individual patients. These insights can help tailor our services to better meet patient needs and contribute to improved health outcomes and business decisions.
Patients consent to allow KindlyMD the use of their data upon signing up for our services. When we collect demographic or medical data during appointments and questionnaire gathering, we inform the patient that their information is protected under HIPAA and that we will not share private health information with other institutions or individuals without the patient’s consent. Patients, clients, and customers of KindlyMD have choices when it comes to the technology they use and the data they share. If someone chooses not to share their data with KindlyMD, we may not provide services. Where providing data is optional, clients, patients, and customers are offered the choice to provide the data or not.
We integrate data collected from various interactions and third parties to enhance patient experience, support informed business and clinical decisions, and achieve other legitimate business purposes.
Our processing of personal and healthcare data for these purposes includes both automated and manual (human) methods of processing. Our automated methods are related to and supported by our manual methods. For example, our automated methods may include artificial intelligence (AI). We are currently training machine learning processes within our computer environment to improve categorization of patient needs and improve business operations while using prepopulated AI models, like ChatGPT from OpenAI, to help us leverage data. This use of AI enables us to quickly and effectively organize the use of the data we collect, resulting in improved business operations and patient services. This technology is being leveraged help categorize and identify trends in various data sets, including what brings a patient to our clinic, from where and under what pretexts.
The information gathered resides in our Enterprise Data Management warehouse, where we have business agreements with each entity accessing this system. A manual review may be conducted by KindlyMD employees or vendors who are working on KindlyMD’s behalf.
We share data only with consent or authorization. Data may also be shared with KindlyMD’s affiliates and subsidiaries, vendors acting on our behalf, or as required by law or legal processes. Additionally, we may share data to protect patients and customers, safeguard lives, ensure the security of our products, and uphold the rights and property of KindlyMD’s shareholders, customers, and patients.
KindlyMD is required to protect the information it collects and maintains. KindlyMD respects the right to privacy and protects the information it maintains about clients and patients in accordance with all required laws, regulations and standards. All healthcare research and published data regarding clinical outcomes is anonymized and governed by HIPAA. Personally-identifying information is protected and removed from any research, publication, lease, or sale to any third party.
Retail Sales
Our mission is to enhance our patients’ and customers’ overall quality of life and reduce the use of prescription medications, specifically opioids. The Company’s retail product offerings may include products that contain CBD, while maintaining THC amounts within the limits set in the 2018 Farm Bill.
Product Description
When KindlyMD sells products considered as hemp, we purchase finished products supplied by third party with whom we have no material written agreements related to their licensing to process hemp. All products are approved for sale in Utah and registered by the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food, Division of Industrial Hemp (UDAF). Additionally, in order to sell hemp products in Utah, we must register as a hemp retailer through UDAF each calendar year.
Beyond the federal guidelines, which are further described in the section “Government Regulations,” hemp products registered in Utah cannot exceed a total of THC and any THC analog that is greater than 5 milligrams per serving; and 150 milligrams per package or be sold to persons under 21 years of age.
Our Competitive Strengths
KindlyMD is one of the largest providers of medical evaluation and management services related to treatment recommendations for the medical cannabis program in Utah, serving over 71,751 visits as of this filing. Our model of healthcare is unique in Utah, blending prescribers and licensed behavioral health clinicians into every patient care plan. We know of no other large pain clinic in Utah that operates this integration model. We are one of a limited number of specialty providers who allow patients to utilize non-opioid alternative medications with their opioids with supervision by a licensed prescriber who receives reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid, or commercial insurance payers for services in-network. KindlyMD providers are experts in de-prescribing and using alternatives to opioids, so much so that in a survey of 1,157 KindlyMD patients, 88% of our patients saw a reduction in other medication in just 6 months.
In addition to our in-person clinics, KindlyMD offers telehealth visits online to patients in the Utah market where the standard of care is the same as in-person visits. The Company’s competitive advantage lies in its ability to overlay this integrated approach to clinics we own or work with. KindlyMD believes its business model could thrive in other states where a pain clinic can build a profitable base in treating pain patients with prescription medication regardless of the state-legal alternative, non-opioid options, available to patients. With KindlyMD’s data-driven model, positive outcomes could contribute to more favorable legislation toward many non-opioid alternative medication options in the US to augment treatment protocols.
In addition, KindlyMD’s significant database and data collection model sets it apart from its competitors. Visits may be charted by two clinicians, one prescriber and one BHC. This data focuses on why and how patients may turn to alternative medicine to reduce prescription medication use and addiction and is a valuable tool in establishing treatment protocols and advocating the medical and pharmaceutical industries for more diverse treatment options. Our data may offer distinct value by providing insights that are tailored to emerging fields like integrated behavioral healthcare, which we believe to be underrepresented in traditional healthcare data sources.
Competition
Our competition are pain clinics as well as other non-opioid specialty alternative medicine clinics in Utah (such as goforward.com or Medalus). Competition also comes from behavioral integration company EvolvedMD who are a behavioral health company embedding BHC’s into existing clinics in Arizona and Utah through an affiliate model. Further, we also face competition from other non-opioid focused healthcare data collection companies. However, the Company believes that there is a high barrier for entry in this industry that requires specialized expertise and significant capital. The Company believes it can compete with these other companies due to the experience of the team and the unique model of healthcare provided.
Marketing and Customers
KindlyMD uses and plans to use various marketing techniques to advertise its services and attract potential new clients and patients. Such techniques include posting videos on YouTube, email marketing, online and social media marketing, print advertising in target markets, publishing research, and participating in speaking engagements.
KindlyMD has two specific target markets: patients and businesses. KindlyMD attempts to target patients suffering from chronic pain and adults on opioids or more than one prescription medication. Further, the Company targets businesses looking for data resources, expanded behavioral clinic operations, and centers dedicated to wellness, research and analysis, market research, and consumer analyses.

Seasonality
Healthcare clinics and data businesses typically operate on a full-time basis, twelve months a year, without much seasonal impact or variation.
Employees and Human Capital
We currently have a total of 61 employees, consisting of 23 full-time employees and 38 part-time employees.
Government Regulation
We are subject to local, state, federal and international laws, statutes, rules, policies, and regulations (collectively “Regulations”) that relate directly or indirectly to our operations. These include health practices, privacy, and data protection regulations. Our business operations involve the collection, transfer, use, disclosure, security, and disposal of personal or sensitive information. As a result, our business is subject to complex and evolving U.S. and international laws and regulations regarding privacy and data protection. We are also subject to common business and tax rules and regulations pertaining to the operation of our business. Below is a discussion of the federal and state-level regulatory regimes in those jurisdictions where we are currently directly involved.
We are subject to the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) as enforced by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). The CSA is the federal U.S. drug policy under which the manufacture, importation, possession, use, and distribution of certain narcotics, stimulants, depressants, hallucinogens, anabolic steroids, and other chemicals are regulated. The DEA is the federal agency responsible for enforcing the CSA. A pain clinic that prescribes opioids must register with the DEA and follow strict record-keeping, reporting, and security measures to ensure that these substances are not misused. Non-compliance can result in substantial penalties and criminal charges.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA): The FDA is responsible for protecting the public health by ensuring the safety, efficacy, and security of drugs, biological products, and medical devices. Our clinic must only use FDA-approved medications and devices and follow FDA guidelines in their use.
Utah State Medical Boards: Each state has its own medical board that licenses and regulates physicians and other healthcare professionals. They also establish rules for clinics and the prescribing of controlled substances. We are subject to the Utah Department of Professional Licensing with regard to our Nurse Practitioners, Physicians Assistant, Medical Doctors, Phycologists, and Licensed Clinical Social Workers to maintain licensing.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA): HIPAA sets national standards for the security of electronic health care transactions, the privacy of health information, and the conduct of healthcare providers. We must have systems in place to protect patient privacy and maintain data security.
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS): If or when KindlyMD treats Medicare or Medicaid patients, CMS rules dictate regarding billing, reporting, and patient care guidelines.
Federal Regulation of Cannabis
Kindly MD, Inc. does not grow, process, or sell cannabis in any form.
In 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Congress has the power to regulate cannabis.
The U.S. federal government regulates drugs through the Controlled Substances Act, which places controlled substances, including cannabis, in a schedule. Cannabis is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance. A Schedule I controlled substance is defined as a substance that has no currently accepted medical use in the United States, a lack of safety for use under medical supervision and a high potential for abuse. The Department of Justice defines Schedule I drugs, substances or chemicals as “drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.” However, the Food and Drug Administration has approved Epidiolex, which contains a purified form of the drug CBD, a non-psychoactive ingredient, for the treatment of seizures associated with two epilepsy conditions. The Food and Drug Administration has not approved cannabis or cannabis compounds as a safe and effective drug for any other condition. Moreover, under the 2018 Farm Bill or Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 legalized the regulated production of hemp, which is defined as cannabis with less than 0.3% THC by weight.
FDA and Hemp Products: The FDA regulates products containing cannabis or cannabis-derived compounds under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act). The FDA currently prohibits THC or CBD products from being sold as dietary supplements or in food interstate commerce. Any product marketed with a therapeutic claim must be approved by the FDA before it can be sold.
KindlyMD does not market or sell products as dietary supplements or food, and makes no health claims on any of the aforementioned products sold.
Cannabis is Largely Regulated at the State Level
State laws that permit and regulate the production, distribution and use of cannabis for adult use or medical purposes are in direct conflict with the Controlled Substances Act, which makes cannabis use and possession federally illegal. Although certain states and territories of the U.S. authorize medical and/or adult use cannabis production and distribution by licensed or registered entities, under U.S. federal law, the possession, use, cultivation and transfer of cannabis and any related drug paraphernalia is illegal and any such acts are criminal acts under federal law under any and all circumstances under the Controlled Substances Act. Although our activities are believed to be compliant with applicable state and local laws, strict compliance with state and local laws with respect to cannabis may neither absolve us of liability under U.S. federal law, nor may it provide a defense to any federal proceeding which may be brought.
The risk of federal enforcement and other risks associated with our business are described in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”
Regulation of the Cannabis Market at State and Local Level
The Utah Medical Cannabis Act (H.B. 3001 Utah Medical Cannabis Act) directs the Utah Department of Health (UDOH) to issue medical cannabis cards to patients, register medical providers who wish to recommend medical cannabis treatment for their patients, and license medical cannabis pharmacies. Physicians, Advanced Practice Registered Nurses, and Physician Associates who are licensed to prescribe a controlled substance are allowed to recommend medical cannabis treatment for their patients. Providers must register through an Electronic Verification System (EVS) established by the UDOH. Registered providers may only recommend medical cannabis treatment to a patient in the course of the physician-patient relationship after completing and documenting in the patient’s record a thorough assessment of the patient’s condition and medical history.
Hemp products are approved for sale in Utah and registered by the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food, Division of Industrial Hemp and Medical Cannabis (UDAF). This process requires a complete product registration application, a full panel certificate of analysis (COA), a product label design that complies with administrative rule R68-26-5, and a fee for each cannabinoid product registered. Each registration is effective for 12 months and must reapply for registration each year. Hemp is only allowed for sale in registered establishments through UDAF.
The Utah Department of Agriculture and Food oversees the market for industrial hemp and medical cannabis in Utah and is governed, in part, by H.B. 227 Hemp Amendments. This bill outlines the hemp producer registration process, establishes the age of 21 as the legal age in which a person in Utah may purchase a hemp product and generally governs the rules surrounding legal limits of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and THC analogs in hemp products to 5mg per serving and 150mg total per package. UDAF also regulates compliance by monitoring processors and retail establishments. All products labeled and sold in Utah must be approved by UDAF.
Product registration application and COA requirements are subject to Utah administrative rule R68-26-4 and R68-37 for testing standards. Label requirements are found in Utah administrative rule R68-26-5.
Telemedicine
The Utah Medical Practice Act allows healthcare providers to establish a provider-patient relationship via telemedicine, as long as the standard of care is the same as in-person visits. Healthcare providers providing telehealth and telepsychology telemedicine services to patients in Utah must be licensed to practice in the state. Utah allows for telemedicine prescribing as long as the standard of care is the same as in-person visits. Controlled substances have additional regulations that often require an in-person exam. All interactions between the treating provider and patient are considered healthcare interactions and therefore are governed by HIPAA privacy laws.
The Ryan Haight Online Pharmacy Consumer Protection Act of 2008: This is a federal law that regulates the distribution of controlled substances online. When KindlyMD uses telemedicine services to prescribe opioids, we must comply with this Act. The Ryan Haight Act requires a valid prescription for controlled substances, which generally entails a prior in-person medical evaluation.
Telepsychology services in Utah also require provider licensing, which is governed by the Utah Psychology Licensing Board. Providers need to meet stringent educational, internship, and examination requirements, aligning with the American Psychological Association’s guidelines.
Corporate Practice of Medicine laws aim to preserve the physician-patient relationship from potential commercial intrusions. In Utah, these laws apply to telemedicine. We enter into contractual agreements with physicians and APCs to preserve the provider-patient relationship from commercial intrusions.
Fee-splitting, the sharing of professional fees between medical practitioners and non-medical practitioners, is illegal in Utah. Cybersecurity is governed by the Utah health Information Network (UHIN) standards, which provide a framework for data security and protection in healthcare, which we adhere to. We utilize encryption for all healthcare related communication channels and data storage, inclusive of telemedicine. Insurance regulation also influences telemedicine practice in Utah. Utah law mandates private payer parity for telemedicine services, meaning private insurance companies must cover telemedicine services at the same rate as in-person services. However, specifics of billing and reimbursement vary among insurers.
Expansion Outside of Utah
At present, our operations are solely based in Utah, and we have not currently targeted or planned specific expansion into other states. Given the complex, state-specific regulatory landscape of the healthcare industry, expanding our operations will necessitate extensive preparation and understanding of the relevant regulations, licensure, and registration requirements in any such states.
Each state has a unique set of rules and regulations pertaining to the use, possession, production, and distribution of scheduled medications. Consequently, any potential expansion will involve a careful evaluation of the state-specific regulatory environment, ensuring full compliance with all requisite laws and regulations to prevent legal ramifications.
Regulatory Risks
Our operations, although compliant with Utah state law, are still subject to U.S. federal law. There is always a risk of federal enforcement action, and non-compliance could lead to significant legal penalties, including but not limited to fines, imprisonment, seizure of assets, and prohibition of business operations.
Our business operations adjacent to the medical cannabis industry expose us to specific risks. The conflict between federal and state laws regarding cannabis creates a complex legal environment, where compliance with state law does not exempt us from federal prosecution. Federal enforcement could disrupt our operations and expose us to substantial legal risk. The ongoing evolution of regulations and their enforcement adds a layer of uncertainty to our business.
The Cannabis industry also faces societal perceptions and stigma which can impact our market. Changes in laws, regulations, or societal perceptions can affect market conditions and the demand for our services.
If or when we expand our operations to other states in the future, we will have to ensure full compliance with the laws of those states, which will necessitate significant investments in legal, operational, and administrative resources. Each expansion will come with its own set of unique challenges and potential risks, necessitating a thorough analysis of the specific state regulatory environments. Our business operations and expansion plans are in line with the current interpretation of the regulations in place. However, a change in regulatory interpretation, enforcement or law could adversely affect our operations. Consequently, the risks inherent in the healthcare industry and our business necessitate careful consideration by potential investors.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We know of no existing or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or any of their respective affiliates, or any beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

You should also read the sections entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 31 of this filing. Additional risks not presently known or that we currently deem immaterial could also materially and adversely affect us. You should consult your own financial and legal advisors as to the risks entailed by an investment in our securities and the suitability of investing in our securities in light of your particular circumstances. If any of the risks contained in this filing develop into actual events, our assets, business, cash flows, condition (financial or otherwise), credit quality, financial performance, liquidity, long-term performance goals, prospects, and/or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. Some statements in this prospectus, including such statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements.
The Company operates in an environment that involves many risks and uncertainties. The risks and uncertainties described in this section are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that presently are not considered material or are not known to us, and therefore are not mentioned herein, may impair our business operations. If any of the risks described actually occur, our business, operating results, financial position, and value of our securities could be adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Business
We may be unable to effectively manage future growth.
We may be subject to growth-related risks, including capacity constraints and pressure on our internal systems and controls. Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our operational and financial systems and to expand, train and manage our employee base. Rapid growth of our business may significantly strain our management, operations and technical resources. If we are successful in obtaining large orders for services, we will be required to deliver large volumes of services to our customers on a timely basis and at a reasonable cost. We may not obtain large-scale orders for our services and if we do, we may not be able to satisfy large-scale requirements on a timely and cost-effective basis. Our inability to deal with this growth may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
We will need additional financing in the future, which may not be available when needed or may be costly and dilutive.
We will require additional financing to support our working capital needs in the future. The amount of additional capital we may require, the timing of our capital needs and the availability of financing to fund those needs will depend on a number of factors, including our strategic initiatives and operating plans, the performance of our business and the market conditions for debt or equity financing. Additionally, the amount of capital required will depend on our ability to meet our sales goals and otherwise successfully execute our operating plan. We believe it is imperative that we meet these sales objectives in order to lessen our reliance on external financing in the future. We intend to continually monitor and adjust our operating plan as necessary to respond to developments in our business, our markets and the broader economy. Although we believe various debt and equity financing alternatives will be available to us to support our working capital needs, financing arrangements on acceptable terms may not be available to us when needed.
Additionally, these alternatives may require significant cash payments for interest and other costs or could be highly dilutive to our existing shareholders. Any such financing alternatives may not provide us with sufficient funds to meet our long-term capital requirements. If necessary, we may explore strategic transactions that we consider to be in the best interest of the Company and our shareholders, which may include, without limitation, public or private offerings of debt or equity securities, a rights offering, and other strategic alternatives; however, these options may not ultimately be available or feasible when needed.
We may incur significant debt to finance our operations.
There is no assurance that we will not incur additional debt in the future, that we will have sufficient funds to repay our indebtedness, or that we will not be in default on any of our debt, jeopardizing our business viability. Furthermore, we may not be able to borrow or raise additional capital in the future to meet the Company’s needs or to otherwise provide the capital necessary to conduct our business.
There may be uncertainty of profitability.
Our business strategy may result in meaningful volatility of revenues, losses and/or earnings. As we will only develop a limited number of business efforts, services and products at a time, our overall success will depend on a limited number of business initiatives, which may cause variability and unsteady profits and losses depending on the products and/or services offered and their market acceptance.
Our revenues and our profitability may be adversely affected by economic conditions and changes in the market for our products and/or services. Our business is also subject to general economic risks that could adversely impact the results of operations and financial condition.
Our business may suffer if we are unable to attract or retain talented personnel.
Our success will depend in large measure on the abilities, expertise, judgment, discretion, integrity, and good faith of Management, as well as other personnel. We have a small management team, and the loss of a key individual or our inability to attract suitably qualified replacements or additional staff could adversely affect our business. Our success also depends on the ability of Management to form and maintain key commercial relationships within the marketplace. No assurance can be given that key personnel will continue their association or employment with us or that replacement personnel with comparable skills will be found. If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel and additional employees, our business may be adversely affected. We do not maintain key-man life insurance on any of our executive employees.
Although we have entered into an employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer, and do not believe our Chief Executive Officer is planning to leave or retire in the near term, we cannot assure you that he will remain with us. The loss or limitation of the services of any of our executives or members of our senior management team, or the inability to attract additional qualified management personnel, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or independent associate relations.
The lack of available and cost-effective directors and officer’s insurance coverage in our industry may cause us to be unable to attract and retain qualified executives, and this may result in our inability to further develop our business.
Our business depends on attracting independent directors, executives, and senior management to advance our business plans. We currently have directors and officer’s insurance to protect our directors, officers, and the company against the possible third-party claims. However, the Company and our executive directors and officers are still susceptible to liability claims arising by third parties, and as a result, we may be unable to attract and retain qualified independent directors and executive management causing the development of our business plans to be impeded as a result.
Management of growth will be necessary for us to be competitive.
Successful expansion of our business will depend on our ability to effectively attract and manage staff, strategic business relationships, and shareholders. Specifically, we will need to hire skilled management and technical personnel as well as manage partnerships to navigate shifts in the general economic environment. Expansion has the potential to place significant strains on financial, management, and operational resources, yet failure to expand will inhibit our profitability goals. We have no definitive plan for expansion into other states at this time.
The failure to enforce and maintain our intellectual property rights could adversely affect the value of the Company.
The success of our business will partially depend on our ability to protect our intellectual property. As of the date hereof, we own no patents and one trademark. The unauthorized use of our intellectual property could diminish the value of our business, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation.
Laws and regulations affecting the medical cannabis industry are constantly changing, which could detrimentally affect our operation.
Local, state, and federal medical cannabis laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or alter certain aspects of our business plan. In addition, violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt certain aspects of our business plan and result in a material adverse effect on certain aspects of our planned operations. In addition, it is possible that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to certain aspects of our businesses. We cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations, or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our business.
Our operations, although compliant with Utah state law, are still subject to U.S. federal law which classifies cannabis as a Schedule I controlled substance. There is always a risk of federal enforcement action, and non-compliance could lead to significant legal penalties, including but not limited to fines, imprisonment, seizure of assets, and prohibition of business operations. The products that we sell, including CBD products, could be subject to enforcement actions by the United States Food and Drug administration (“FDA”). For example, CBD products could be subject to FDA enforcement if they are viewed as unapproved or misbranded drugs under the Food, Drugs and Cosmetic Act.
Our business operations in the medical cannabis industry expose us to specific risks. The conflict between federal and state laws regarding cannabis creates a complex legal environment, where compliance with state law does not exempt us from federal prosecution. Federal enforcement could disrupt our operations and expose us to substantial legal risk. The ongoing evolution of regulations and their enforcement adds a layer of uncertainty to our business. The FDA has yet to establish a clear regulatory pathway for the commercialization of CBD products and has previously concluded that existing frameworks for human and animal food and dietary supplements are not appropriate for CBD products. Changes in how the FDA regulates the approval, sale and marketing of hemp and CBD products can create new risks with respect to the company’s sale of such products.
The Cannabis industry also faces societal perceptions and stigma which can impact our market. Changes in laws, regulations, or societal perceptions can affect market conditions and the demand for our products and services.
If we expand into other states, we will have to ensure compliance with all of the regulations of those states, which may be different from the laws in the State of Utah.
We have no definitive plans to expand into other states. However, if or when we do choose to expand our operations to other states in the future, we will have to ensure full compliance with the laws of those states, which will necessitate significant investments in legal, operational, and administrative resources. Each expansion will come with its own set of unique challenges and potential risks, necessitating a thorough analysis of the specific state regulatory environments. Our business operations and expansion plans are in line with the current interpretation of the regulations in place. However, a change in regulatory interpretation, enforcement or law could adversely affect our operations. Consequently, the risks inherent in the cannabis industry and our business necessitate careful consideration by potential investors.
If we incur substantial liability from litigation, complaints, or enforcement actions, our financial condition could suffer.
Our participation adjacent to the medical cannabis industry may lead to litigation, formal or informal complaints, enforcement actions, and inquiries by various federal, state, or local governmental authorities against us. Litigation, complaints, and enforcement actions could consume considerable amounts of financial and other corporate resources, which could have a negative impact on our sales, revenue, profitability, and growth prospects.
There can be no assurance that our current and future strategic alliances or expansions of scope of existing relationships will have a beneficial impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may enter into strategic alliances and partnerships with third parties that we believe will complement or augment our existing business. Our ability to complete strategic alliances is dependent upon, and may be limited by, the availability of suitable candidates and capital. In addition, strategic alliances could present unforeseen integration obstacles or costs, may not enhance our business and may involve risks that could adversely affect us, including significant amounts of management time that may be diverted from operations in order to pursue and complete such transactions or maintain such strategic alliances. Future strategic alliances could result in the incurrence of additional debt, costs and contingent liabilities, and there can be no assurance that future strategic alliances will achieve, or that our existing strategic alliances will continue to achieve, the expected benefits to our business or that we will be able to consummate future strategic alliances on satisfactory terms, if at all. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may face unfavorable publicity or consumer perception.
Management believes the pain management and alternative medicine industry is highly dependent upon consumer perception regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of the treatment offered and outcomes produced. Consumer perception of our services may be significantly influenced by scientific research or findings, regulatory investigations, litigation, media attention and other publicity regarding opioids, cannabis, ketamine, psychedelics, as well as other alternative medicine services. There can be no assurance that future scientific research, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other research findings or publicity will be favorable to the prescription medicine, behavioral therapy industry, alternative medicine market or any particular product, or consistent with earlier publicity. Future research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity that is perceived as less favorable than, or questions earlier research reports, findings or publicity could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our services. Our dependence upon consumer perceptions means that such adverse reports, whether or not accurate or with merit, could ultimately have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Further, adverse publicity reports or other media attention regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of treatments in general, or our services specifically, or associating the consumption of prescription or non-prescription medications, or any other products with illness or other negative effects or events, could have such a material adverse effect.
We are subject to general economic risks.
Our operations could be affected by the economic context should the unemployment level, interest rates or inflation reach levels that influence consumer trends and spending and, consequently, impact our sales and profitability.
Provisions in our governing documents and Utah law may have an anti-takeover effect, and there are substitutional regulatory limitations on changes of control of bank holding companies.
Our corporate organizational documents and provisions of federal and state law to which we are subject contain certain provisions that could have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, make more difficult or prevent an attempted acquisition that you may favor or an attempted replacement of our board of directors or management.
Our brand is integral to our success. If we fail to effectively maintain, promote, and enhance our brand in a cost-effective manner, our business and competitive advantage may be harmed.
We believe that maintaining and enhancing our reputation and brand recognition is critical to our relationships with existing customers, providers, and strategic partners, and to our ability to attract new customers, providers, and strategic partners. The promotion of our brand may require us to make substantial investments, and we anticipate that, given the highly competitive nature of our market, these marketing initiatives may become increasingly difficult and expensive. Brand promotion and marketing activities may not be successful or yield increased revenue, and to the extent that these activities yield increased revenue, the increased revenue may not offset the expenses we incur and our results of operations could be harmed. In addition, any factor that diminishes our reputation or that of our management, including failing to meet the expectations of our customers, the providers, or partners, could harm our reputation and brand and make it substantially more difficult for us to attract new customers, providers, and partners. If we do not successfully maintain and enhance our reputation and brand recognition in a cost-effective manner, our business may not grow and we could lose our relationships with customers, providers, and partners, which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The market for our model and services is new, rapidly evolving, and increasingly competitive, as the healthcare industry in the United States is undergoing significant structural change and consolidation, which makes it difficult to forecast demand for our data or services.
The market for our model and data is new, rapidly evolving and increasingly competitive. We are expanding our business by offering technology-driven access to consultation and treatment options for new conditions, including telehealth options, but it is uncertain whether our offerings will achieve and sustain high levels of demand and market adoption. Our future financial performance depends in part on growth in this market, our ability to market effectively and in a cost-efficient manner, and our ability to adapt to emerging demands of existing and potential customers and the evolving regulatory landscape. It is difficult to predict the future growth rate and size of our target market. Negative publicity concerning telehealth generally, our offerings, customer success with our platform, or our market as a whole could limit market acceptance of our business model and services. If our customers do not perceive the benefits of our offerings, or if our offerings do not drive customer use and enrollment, then our market and our customer base may not continue to develop, or they may develop more slowly than we expect. Negative publicity regarding customer confidentiality and privacy in the context of telehealth could limit market acceptance of our business model and services.
The healthcare industry in the United States is continually undergoing or threatened with significant structural change and is rapidly evolving. We believe demand for our offerings has been driven in part by rapidly growing costs in the traditional healthcare system, difficulties accessing the healthcare system, patient stigma associated with sensitive medical conditions, the movement toward patient-centricity and personalized healthcare, advances in technology, and general movement to telehealth accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Widespread acceptance of personalized healthcare enabled by technology is critical to our future growth and success. A reduction in the growth of technology-enabled personalized healthcare could reduce the demand for our services and result in a lower revenue growth rate or decreased revenue.
Additionally, if healthcare or healthcare benefits trends shift or entirely new technologies are developed that replace existing offerings, our existing or future services could be rendered obsolete and require that we materially change our technology or business model. If we are unable to do so, our business could be adversely affected. In addition, we may experience difficulties with software development, industry standards, design or marketing that could delay or prevent our development, introduction, or implementation of new options on our platform and any enhancements thereto. Any such difficulties may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Competitive platforms or other technological breakthroughs for the monitoring, management, treatment, or prevention of medical conditions may adversely affect demand for our offerings.
Our ability to achieve our strategic objectives will depend, among other things, on our ability to enable fast and efficient telehealth consultations and maintain comprehensive and affordable offerings. Our competitors, as well as a number of other companies and providers, within and outside the healthcare industry, are pursuing new devices, delivery technologies, sensing technologies, procedures, treatments, drugs, and other therapies for the monitoring and treatment of medical conditions. Any technological breakthroughs in monitoring, treatment, or prevention of medical conditions that we could not similarly leverage could reduce the potential market for our offerings, which could significantly reduce our revenue and our potential to grow certain aspects of our business.
We operate in highly competitive markets and face competition from large, well-established healthcare providers, traditional retailers, pharmaceutical providers, and technology companies with significant resources, and, as a result, we may not be able to compete effectively.
The markets for healthcare and technology are intensely competitive, subject to rapid change, and significantly affected by new product and technological introductions and other market activities of industry participants. We compete directly not only with other established telehealth providers but also traditional healthcare providers, pharmacies and technology companies entering into the health and wellness industry. Our current competitors include traditional healthcare providers expanding into the telehealth market, incumbent telehealth providers, as well as new entrants into our market that are focused on direct-to-consumer healthcare or healthcare technology. Our competitors further include enterprise-focused companies that may enter the direct-to-consumer healthcare industry, as well as direct-to-consumer healthcare providers and technology companies.
New competitors or alliances may emerge that have greater market share, a larger customer base, more widely adopted proprietary technologies, greater marketing expertise, and greater financial resources, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage. For example, some state and federal regulatory authorities lowered certain barriers to the practice of telehealth in order to make remote healthcare services more accessible in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although it is unclear whether these regulatory changes will be permanent or that they will have a long-term impact on the adoption of telehealth services by the general public or legislative and regulatory authorities, these changes may result in greater competition for our business. The lower barriers to entry may allow various new competitors to enter the market more quickly and cost effectively than before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Additionally, we believe that the COVID-19 pandemic has introduced many new users to telehealth and further reinforced its benefits to potential competitors. We believe this may drive additional industry consolidation or cooperative relationships that may result in competitors with greater resources and access to potential customers. For example, we believe the COVID-19 pandemic may have caused various traditional healthcare providers to evaluate, and in some cases, pursue telehealth options that can be paired with their in-person capabilities. These industry changes could better position our competitors to serve certain segments of our current or future markets, which could create additional price pressure. In light of these factors, even if our offerings are more effective than those of our competitors, current or potential customers may accept competitive solutions in lieu of purchasing from us.
Our ability to compete effectively depends on our ability to distinguish our company and our offerings from our competitors and their products, and includes factors such as:
● accessibility, ease of use and convenience;
● price and affordability;
● personalization;
● brand recognition;
● long-term outcomes;
● breadth and efficacy of offerings;
● market penetration;
● marketing resources and effectiveness;
● partnerships and alliances;
● relationships with providers, suppliers and partners; and
● regulatory compliance recourses.
If we are unable to successfully compete with existing and potential competitors, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Further expansion efforts would likely significantly increase our operational expenses.
We may in the future expand into other geographic areas, which could increase our operational, regulatory, compliance, reputational and foreign exchange rate risks. The failure of our operating infrastructure to support such expansion could result in operational failures and regulatory fines or sanctions. Future expansion could require us to incur a number of up-front expenses, including those associated with obtaining regulatory approvals, as well as additional ongoing expenses, including those associated with infrastructure, staff and regulatory compliance. We may not be able to successfully identify suitable acquisition and expansion opportunities or integrate such operations successfully with our existing operations.
The Company may sustain losses that cannot be recovered through insurance or other preventative measures.
There is no assurance that the Company will not incur uninsured liabilities and losses as a result of the conduct of its business. While the Company currently has some liability insurance coverage, it does not have broad coverage at high levels. The Company plans to continue to review its liability coverage in order to insure against potential major insurable liabilities. Should uninsured losses occur, shareholders could lose their invested capital.
Risks of Government Action and Regulatory Uncertainty
Our use, disclosure, and other processing of personal information, including health information, is subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and other federal, state, and foreign data privacy and security laws and regulations, and our failure to comply with those laws and regulations or to appropriately secure the information we hold could result in significant liability or reputational harm and, in turn, a material adverse effect on our client base, customer base and revenue.
In the course of offering personalized health and wellness recommendations, we collect a substantial amount of personalized health information. Numerous state and federal laws and regulations govern the collection, dissemination, use, privacy, confidentiality, security, availability, integrity and other processing of protected health information (PHI), and other types of personal information. For example, HIPAA establishes a set of national privacy and security standards for the protection PHI by health plans, healthcare clearinghouses and certain healthcare providers, referred to as covered entities, and the business associates with whom such covered entities contract for services, as well as their covered subcontractors. When we act in the capacity of a business associate under HIPAA, we execute business associate agreements with our clients.
HIPAA requires covered entities and business associates, such as us, to develop and maintain policies and procedures with respect to PHI that is used or disclosed, including the adoption of administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect such information.
Violations of HIPAA may result in significant civil and criminal penalties. HIPAA also authorizes state attorneys general to file suit on behalf of their residents. Courts may award damages, costs and attorneys’ fees related to violations of HIPAA in such cases. While HIPAA does not create a private right of action allowing individuals to sue us in civil court for violations of HIPAA, its standards have been used as the basis for duty of care in state civil suits such as those for negligence or recklessness in the misuse or breach of duties related to PHI.
In addition, HIPAA mandates that the Secretary of HHS conduct periodic compliance audits of HIPAA covered entities and business associates for compliance with the HIPAA privacy and security rules.
HIPAA further requires that patients be notified of any unauthorized acquisition, access, use or disclosure of their unsecured PHI that compromises the privacy or security of such information, with certain exceptions related to unintentional or inadvertent use or disclosure by employees or authorized individuals. HIPAA requires such notifications to be made “without unreasonable delay and in no case later than 60 calendar days after discovery of the breach.” If a breach affects 500 patients or more, it must be reported to HHS without unreasonable delay, and HHS will post the name of the breaching entity on its public web site. Breaches affecting 500 patients or more in the same state or jurisdiction must also be reported to the local media. If a breach involves fewer than 500 people, the covered entity must record it in a log and notify HHS at least annually.
In addition to HIPAA, numerous other federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations protect the confidentiality, privacy, availability, integrity and security of health-related and other personal information. These laws and regulations in many cases are more restrictive than and may not be pre-empted by HIPAA and its implementing rules. These laws and regulations are often uncertain, contradictory, and subject to changed or differing interpretations, and we expect new laws, rules and regulations regarding privacy, data protection, and to be proposed and enacted in the future. Further, many state attorneys general are interpreting existing federal and state consumer protection laws to impose evolving standards for the online collection, use, dissemination and security of health-related and other personal information. Courts may also adopt the standards for fair information practices promulgated by the FTC, which concern consumer notice, choice, security and access. Consumer protection laws require us to publish statements that describe how we handle personal information and choices individuals may have about the way we handle their personal information. If such information that we publish is considered untrue, we may be subject to government claims of unfair or deceptive trade practices, which could lead to significant liabilities and consequences. Furthermore, according to the FTC, violating consumers’ privacy rights or failing to take appropriate steps to keep consumers’ personal information secure may constitute unfair acts or practices in or affecting commerce in violation of Section 5(a) of the FTC Act.
We may become subject to the Anti-Kickback Statute, Stark Law, False Claims Act, Civil Monetary Penalties Law and may be subject to analogous provisions of applicable state laws and could face substantial penalties if we fail to comply with such laws.
There are several federal laws addressing fraud and abuse that apply to businesses that receive reimbursement from a federal health care program. There are also a number of similar state laws covering fraud and abuse with respect to, for example, private payors, self-pay and insurance. Currently, we receive a substantial percentage of our revenue from private payors and from Medicare. Accordingly, our business is subject to federal fraud and abuse laws, such as the Anti-Kickback Statute, the Stark Law, the False Claims Act, the Civil Monetary Penalties Law and other similar laws. Moreover, we are already subject to similar state laws. We believe we have operated, and intend to continue to operate, our business in compliance with these laws. However, these laws are subject to modification and changes in interpretation and are enforced by authorities vested with broad discretion. Federal and state enforcement entities have significantly increased their scrutiny of healthcare companies and providers which has led to investigations, prosecutions, convictions and large settlements. We continually monitor developments in this area. If these laws are interpreted in a manner contrary to our interpretation or are reinterpreted or amended, or if new legislation is enacted with respect to healthcare fraud and abuse, illegal remuneration, or similar issues, we may be required to restructure our affected operations to maintain compliance with applicable law. There can be no assurances that any such restructuring will be possible or, if possible, would not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
Anti-Kickback Statute
A federal law commonly referred to as the “Anti-Kickback Statute” prohibits the knowing and willful offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of remuneration, directly or indirectly, in return for the referral of patients or arranging for the referral of patients, or in return for the recommendation, arrangement, purchase, lease or order of items or services that are covered, in whole or in part, by a federal healthcare program such as Medicare or Medicaid. The term “remuneration” has been broadly interpreted to include anything of value such as gifts, discounts, rebates, waiver of payments or providing anything at less than its fair market value. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or the PPACA, amended the intent requirement of the Anti-Kickback Statute such that a person or entity can be found guilty of violating the statute without actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate the statute. Further, the PPACA now provides that claims submitted in violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute constitute false or fraudulent claims for purposes of the federal False Claims Act, or FCA, including the failure to timely return an overpayment. Many states have adopted similar prohibitions against kickbacks and other practices that are intended to influence the purchase, lease or ordering of healthcare items and services reimbursed by a governmental health program or state Medicaid program. Some of these state prohibitions apply to remuneration for referrals of healthcare items or services reimbursed by any third-party payor, including commercial payors and self-pay patients.
Stark Law
Section 1877 of the Social Security Act, or the Stark Law, prohibits a physician from referring a patient to an entity for certain “designated health services” reimbursable by Medicare if the physician (or close family members) has a financial relationship with that entity, including an ownership or investment interest, a loan or debt relationship or a compensation relationship, unless an exception to the Stark Law is fully satisfied. The designated health services covered by the law include, among others, laboratory and imaging services. Some states have self-referral laws similar to the Stark Law for Medicaid claims and commercial claims.
Violation of the Stark Law may result in prohibition of payment for services rendered, a refund of any Medicare payments for services that resulted from an unlawful referral, $15,000 civil monetary penalties for specified infractions, criminal penalties, and potential exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs, and potential false claims liability. The repayment provisions in the Stark Law are not dependent on the parties having an improper intent; rather, the Stark Law is a strict liability statute and any violation is subject to repayment of all amounts arising out of tainted referrals. If physician self-referral laws are interpreted differently or if other legislative restrictions are issued, we could incur significant sanctions and loss of revenues, or we could have to change our arrangements and operations in a way that could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, damage to our reputation, results of operations and financial condition.
False Claims Act
The FCA prohibits providers from, among other things, (1) knowingly presenting or causing to be presented, claims for payments from the Medicare, Medicaid or other federal healthcare programs that are false or fraudulent; (2) knowingly making, using or causing to be made or used, a false record or statement to get a false or fraudulent claim paid or approved by the federal government; or (3) knowingly making, using or causing to be made or used, a false record or statement to avoid, decrease or conceal an obligation to pay money to the federal government. The “qui tam” or “whistleblower” provisions of the FCA allow private individuals to bring actions under the FCA on behalf of the government. These private parties are entitled to share in any amounts recovered by the government, and, as a result, the number of “whistleblower” lawsuits that have been filed against providers has increased significantly in recent years. Defendants found to be liable under the FCA may be required to pay three times the actual damages sustained by the government, plus civil penalties ranging between $5,500 and $11,000 for each separate false claim.
There are many potential bases for liability under the FCA. The government has used the FCA to prosecute Medicare and other government healthcare program fraud such as coding errors, billing for services not provided, and providing care that is not medically necessary or that is substandard in quality. The PPACA also provides that claims submitted in connection with patient referrals that result from violations of the Anti-Kickback Statute constitute false claims for the purpose of the FCA, and some courts have held that a violation of the Stark law can result in FCA liability, as well. In addition, a number of states have adopted their own false claims and whistleblower provisions whereby a private party may file a civil lawsuit in state court. We are required to provide information to our employees and certain contractors about state and federal false claims laws and whistleblower provisions and protections.
Civil Monetary Penalties Law
The Civil Monetary Penalties Law prohibits, among other things, the offering or giving of remuneration to a Medicare or Medicaid beneficiary that the person or entity knows or should know is likely to influence the beneficiary’s selection of a particular provider or supplier of items or services reimbursable by a federal or state healthcare program. This broad provision applies to many kinds of inducements or benefits provided to patients, including complimentary items, services or transportation that are of more than a nominal value. This law could affect how we have to structure our operations and activities.
Litigation or legal proceedings could expose us to significant liabilities and damage our reputation.
We may become party to litigation claims and legal proceedings. Litigation involves significant risks, uncertainties and costs, including distraction of management attention away from our business operations. We evaluate litigation claims and legal proceedings to assess the likelihood of unfavorable outcomes and to estimate, if possible, the amount of potential losses. Based on these assessments and estimates, we establish reserves and disclose the relevant litigation claims or legal proceedings, as appropriate. These assessments and estimates are based on the information available to management at the time and involve a significant amount of management judgment. Actual outcomes or losses may differ materially from those envisioned by our current assessments and estimates. Our policies and procedures require strict compliance by our employees and agents with all U.S. and local laws and regulations applicable to our business operations, including those prohibiting improper payments to government officials. Nonetheless, our policies and procedures may not ensure full compliance by our employees and agents with all applicable legal requirements. Improper conduct by our employees or agents could damage our reputation or lead to litigation or legal proceedings that could result in civil or criminal penalties, including substantial monetary fines, as well as disgorgement of profits.
Risks Associated with Our Industry
Our business and financial performance may be adversely affected by downturns in the target markets that we serve or reduced demand for the types of services we offer.
Demand for our services is often affected by general economic conditions as well as trends in our target markets. These changes may result in decreased demand for our services. The occurrence of these conditions is beyond our ability to control and, when they occur, they may have a significant impact on our results of operations. The inability or unwillingness of our customers to pay a premium for our services due to general economic conditions or a downturn in the economy may have a significant adverse impact on results of operations.
The market for prescription digital therapeutics is new, rapidly evolving, and increasingly competitive, the healthcare industry in the U.S. is undergoing significant structural change, and the demand for prescription digital therapeutics in markets outside of the U.S. is uncertain, which makes it difficult to forecast demand for our products. As a result, all prospective financial information included herein are subject to change.
The market for our medical evaluation and management services and our data is new and rapidly evolving, and it is uncertain whether it will achieve and sustain high levels of demand and market adoption. Our future financial performance will depend on growth in this market and on our ability to adapt to emerging demands of our customers. It is difficult to predict the future growth rate and size of our target market.
The healthcare industry in the U.S. is undergoing significant structural change and is rapidly evolving. We believe demand for our products and services has been driven in large part by rapidly growing costs in the traditional healthcare system, the movement toward patient-centricity and personalized healthcare, and advances in technology. Widespread acceptance of personalized healthcare is critical to our future growth and success. A reduction in the growth of personalized healthcare could reduce the demand for our medical evaluation and management services and result in a lower revenue growth rate or decreased revenue.
If our assumptions regarding these uncertainties are incorrect or change in reaction to changes in our markets, or if we do not manage or address these risks successfully, our results of operations could differ materially from our expectations, and our business could suffer.
Changes within the alternative medicine industry or the healthcare industry may adversely affect our financial performance.
Pain clinics operate in a highly regulated industry. Changes in federal, state, or local laws and regulations can significantly affect our operations and profitability. In particular, changes in healthcare laws, policies, and regulations, including those related to insurance and Medicare/Medicaid reimbursements, may impact our revenue. Our financial health is linked to coverage of Medicare/Medicaid and private insurers to cover outpatient management services, including pain management services. Reimbursement rates, or a decision by a significant number of insurers to terminate their agreements with us could adversely affect our business. The ongoing opioid crisis has led to an increased scrutiny of pain management clinics, including ours. Any perceived mismanagement of opioid prescriptions could lead to severe legal and reputational ramifications.
Like pain clinics, the cannabis industry is highly regulated, and laws can vary greatly between jurisdictions. A change in federal laws, state laws, or local ordinances could significantly impact our operations. Negative perceptions or stigmatization could affect the demand for our services and impact our reputation. Supply chain regulation and changes could impact our ability to provide consistent products and services to our clients.
Further, changes in research findings, particularly those that reflect negatively on cannabis, could impact consumer demand for our products and services.
Failure in the Company’s information technology systems or delays or failures in the development and implementation of updates or enhancements to those systems could significantly delay billing and otherwise disrupt the Company’s operations or patient relationships.
Our business and patient relationships depend, in part, on the continued performance of its information technology systems. Despite network security measures and other precautions, our information technology systems are potentially vulnerable to physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses and similar disruptions. Sustained system failures or interruption of our systems in one or more of its operations could disrupt our ability to conduct our business. Breaches with respect to protected health information could result in violations of HIPAA and analogous state laws and risk the imposition of significant fines and penalties. Failure of our information technology systems could adversely affect our business, profitability and financial condition.
Medical malpractice lawsuits can be costly and damaging to our practice and reputation.
The risk of malpractice suits is significant in the medical profession. A rise in malpractice suits, or changes in laws related to malpractice, can increase our insurance costs and potentially lead to significant financial payouts.
The Company’s industry is highly competitive, and we have less capital and resources than many of our competitors which may give them an advantage in marketing services similar to ours or make our services obsolete.
Changes in the identity, ownership structure and strategic goals of our competitors and the emergence of new competitors in our target markets may harm our financial performance.
We are involved in a highly competitive industry where we may compete with numerous other companies who offer alternative methods or approaches, who may have far greater resources, more experience, and personnel perhaps more qualified than we do. Such resources may give our competitors an advantage in developing and marketing services similar to ours or services that make our services less desirable to consumers or obsolete. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully compete against these other entities. Furthermore, the outpatient healthcare industry is evolving rapidly with new technologies and treatments. If we fail to adapt or adopt these changes, our services may become obsolete, impacting our competitiveness and financial performance.
We may be unable to respond to the rapid technological change in the industry and such change may increase costs and competition that may adversely affect our business.
Rapidly changing technologies, frequent new product and service introductions and evolving industry standards characterize our market. Intense competition in our industry exacerbates these market characteristics. Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies by continually improving the performance features and reliability of our services. We may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction or marketing of our services. In addition, any new enhancements must meet the requirements of our current and prospective customers and must achieve significant market acceptance. We could also incur substantial costs if we need to modify our services or infrastructures to adapt to these changes.
Our business and operations would be adversely impacted in the event of a failure or interruption of our information technology infrastructure or as a result of a cybersecurity attack.
The proper functioning of our own information technology (IT) infrastructure is critical to the efficient operation and management of our business. We may not have the necessary financial resources to update and maintain our IT infrastructure, and any failure or interruption of our IT system could adversely impact our operations. In addition, our IT is vulnerable to cyberattacks, computer viruses, worms and other malicious software programs, physical and electronic break-ins, sabotage and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering with our computer systems. We believe that we have adopted appropriate measures to mitigate potential risks to our technology infrastructure and our operations from these IT-related and other potential disruptions. However, given the unpredictability of the timing, nature and scope of any such IT failures or disruptions, we could potentially be subject to downtimes, transactional errors, processing inefficiencies, operational delays, other detrimental impacts on our operations or ability to provide products to our customers, the compromising of confidential or personal information, destruction or corruption of data, security breaches, other manipulation or improper use of our systems and networks, financial losses from remedial actions, loss of business or potential liability, and/or damage to our reputation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, competitive position, financial condition or results of operations.
Changes in our effective tax rate may impact our results of operations.
We are subject to taxes in the U.S. Tax rates in these jurisdictions may be subject to significant change due to economic and/or political conditions. A number of other factors may also impact our future effective tax rate including:
● the jurisdictions in which profits are determined to be earned and taxed;
● the resolution of issues arising from tax audits with various tax authorities;
● changes in valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities;
● increases in expenses not deductible for tax purposes, including write-offs of acquired intangibles and impairment of goodwill in connection with acquisitions;
● changes in availability of tax credits, tax holidays, and tax deductions;
● changes in share-based compensation; and
● changes in tax laws or the interpretation of such tax laws and changes in generally accepted accounting principles.
Although we believe our income tax liabilities are reasonably estimated and accounted for in accordance with applicable laws and principles, an adverse resolution by one or more taxing authorities could have a material impact on the results of our operations. Further, we may be unable to utilize our net operating losses in the event a change in control is determined to have occurred.
Changes in accounting standards and subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by management related to complex accounting matters could significantly affect our financial results.
The United States generally accepted accounting principles and related pronouncements, implementation guidelines and interpretations with regard to a wide variety of matters that are relevant to our business, such as, but not limited to, stock-based compensation, inventory, revenue recognition, trade spend and promotions, and income taxes are highly complex and involve many subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by our management. Changes to these rules or their interpretation or changes in underlying assumptions, estimates or judgments by our management could adversely affect our reported financial results.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock and Securities
We may need additional capital that will dilute the ownership interest of investors.
We may require additional capital to fund our future business operations. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related or convertible debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of holders of our shares of common stock, who may experience dilution of their ownership interest of our shares of Common Stock. We cannot predict whether additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. The issuance of additional shares of Common Stock by our board of directors may have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of our shares of Common Stock.
We will be controlled by our existing majority shareholder.
Our directors and officers currently in place control or beneficially own a significant portion of our shares. Thus, they will continue to oversee the Company’s operations. As a result, our directors and officers will likely have a significant influence on the affairs and management of the Company, as well as on all matters requiring stockholder approval, including electing and removing members of its board of directors, causing the Company to engage in transactions with affiliated entities, causing or restricting the sale or merger of the Company and changing the company’s dividend policy. Such concentration of ownership and control could have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Company, even when such a change of control would be in the best interests of the company’s other stockholders.
We do not expect to pay any dividends on our common stock.
We do not anticipate that we will pay any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Instead, we plan to retain any earnings to maintain and expand our existing operations. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any return on their investment.
We are eligible to be treated as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make the Common Shares less attractive to investors.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including (1) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, (2) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this prospectus and periodic reports and proxy statements, and (3) exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find the Common Shares less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find the Common Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for the Common Shares, and the stock price may be more volatile.
Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies.
Costs and expenses of being a reporting company under the 1934 Securities Exchange Act may be burdensome and prevent us from achieving profitability.
As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and parts of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems and resources.
Since our shares of Common Stock may be thinly traded it is more susceptible to extreme rises or declines in price, and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price paid.
Since our shares of Common Stock may be thinly traded its trading price is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to extreme fluctuations in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including (but not necessarily limited to): the trading volume of our shares, the number of analysts, market-makers and brokers following our shares of Common Stock, new products or services introduced or announced by us or our competitors, actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results, conditions or trends in our business industries, additions or departures of key personnel, sales of our shares of Common Stock and general stock market price and volume fluctuations of publicly traded, and particularly microcap, companies.
Investors may have difficulty reselling shares of our Common Stock, either at or above the price they paid for our stock, or even at fair market value. The stock markets often experience significant price and volume changes that are not related to the operating performance of individual companies, and because our shares of Common Stock are thinly traded it is particularly susceptible to such changes. These broad market changes may cause the market price of our shares of Common Stock to decline regardless of how well we perform as a company. In addition, there is a history of securities class action litigation following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities. Although there is no such litigation currently pending or threatened against us, such a suit against us could result in the incursion of substantial legal fees, potential liabilities and the diversion of management’s attention and resources from our business.
Because we do not expect to pay any dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future, investors in this offering may never receive a return on their investment.
We do not anticipate that we will pay any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Instead, we plan to retain any earnings to maintain and expand our existing operations. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any return on their investment.
There could be unidentified risks involved with an investment in our securities.
The foregoing risk factors are not a complete list or explanation of the risks involved with an investment in the securities. Additional risks will likely be experienced that are not presently foreseen by the Company. Prospective investors must not construe this and the information provided herein as constituting investment, legal, tax or other professional advice. Before making any decision to invest in our securities, you should read this entire prospectus and consult with your own investment, legal, tax and other professional advisors. An investment in our securities is suitable only for investors who can assume the financial risks of an investment in the Company for an indefinite period of time and who can afford to lose their entire investment. The Company makes no representations or warranties of any kind with respect to the likelihood of the success or the business of the Company, the value of our securities, any financial returns that may be generated or any tax benefits or consequences that may result from an investment in the Company.
We may not be able to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq or obtain or maintain a listing of our common stock on Nasdaq.
We must meet certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If we violate Nasdaq’s listing requirements, or if we fail to meet any of Nasdaq’s listing standards, our common stock may be delisted. In addition, our board of directors may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing. A delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq may materially impair our shareholders’ ability to buy and sell our common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our common stock. The delisting of our common stock could significantly impair our ability to raise capital and the value of your investment.
The market price of our common stock may fluctuate, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to several factors, most of which we cannot control, including:
● actual or anticipated variations in our periodic operating results;
● increases in market interest rates that lead investors of our common stock to demand a higher investment return;
● changes in earnings estimates;
● changes in market valuations of similar companies;
● actions or announcements by our competitors;
● adverse market reaction to any increased indebtedness we may incur in the future;
● additions or departures of key personnel;
● actions by shareholders;
● speculation in the media, online forums, or investment community; and
● our ability to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq.
If our shares of common stock become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.
The Securities and Exchange Commission, or 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 price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. If we do not retain a listing on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange and if the price of our common stock is less than $5.00, our common stock could be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that before effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock, and therefore shareholders may have difficulty selling their shares.
The risk factors referred to above, as well as other risks not mentioned above, could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which ones will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The statements contained in the following MD&A and elsewhere throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including any documents incorporated by reference, that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “target,” “project,” “intend” and similar words or expressions. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements, which reflect our management’s beliefs, objectives, and expectations as of the date hereof, are based on the best judgement of our management. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in such statements, including, without limitation, the following: economic, social and political conditions, global economic downturns resulting from extraordinary events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and other securities industry risks; interest rate risks; liquidity risks; credit risk with clients and counterparties; risk of liability for errors in clearing functions; systemic risk; systems failures, delays and capacity constraints; network security risks; competition; reliance on external service providers; new laws and regulations affecting our business; net capital requirements; extensive regulation, regulatory uncertainties and legal matters; failure to maintain relationships with employees, customers, business partners or governmental entities; the inability to achieve synergies or to implement integration plans and other consequences associated with risks and uncertainties detailed in our filings with the SEC, including our most recent filings on Forms 10-K and 10-Q.
We caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive, and new factors may emerge, or changes to the foregoing factors may occur, that could impact our business. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise these statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by the federal securities laws.
Certain information contained in this discussion and elsewhere in this report may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is subject to the safe harbor created by that act. The safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act will not apply to certain “forward looking statements” because we issued “penny stock” (as defined in Section 3(a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 3(a)(51-1) under the Exchange Act) during the three year period preceding the date(s) on which those forward looking statements were first made, except to the extent otherwise specifically provided by rule, regulation or order of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We caution readers that certain important factors may affect our actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements which may be deemed to have been made in this Report or which are otherwise made by or on our behalf. For this purpose, any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “explore,” “consider,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” “plan,” or “propose” or the negative variations of those words or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Factors that may affect our results include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties associated with:
● Our ability to raise capital necessary to sustain our anticipated operations and implement our business plan,
● Our ability to implement our business plan,
● Our ability to generate sufficient cash to survive,
● The degree and nature of our competition,
● The lack of diversification of our business plan,
● The general volatility of the capital markets and the establishment of a market for our shares, and
● Disruption in the economic and financial conditions primarily from the impact of past terrorist attacks in the United States, threats of future attacks, police, and military activities overseas and other disruptive worldwide political and economic events and environmental weather conditions.
We are also subject to other risks detailed from time to time in our other filings with Securities and Exchange Commission and elsewhere in this report. Any one or more of these uncertainties, risks and other influences could materially affect our results of operations and whether forward-looking statements made by us ultimately prove to be accurate. Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether from new information, future events or otherwise.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). the preparation of these financial statements requires management to make assumptions, judgments and estimates that can have a significant impact on the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances accordingly. We also discuss our critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in Notes to Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K describes the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements.
We have listed below our critical accounting estimates that we believe have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements. historically, our assumptions, judgments and estimates relative to our critical accounting estimates have not differed materially from actual results. We do not expect the estimates and assumptions to change materially.
Revenue Recognition
The Company records revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” Revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five-step approach: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company primarily recognizes revenue from: (i) patient care services related to medical evaluation and treatment and (ii) product retail sales, (iii) service affiliate agreements.
Revenue from patient care services, which relates to medical evaluation and treatment, is reported at the amount reflecting the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for providing these services. These amounts are due from patients, third-party payors (including Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance payers), and others. The patient is considered the Company’s customer, and a signed patient treatment consent typically constitutes a written contract between the Company and the patient. Patient care services are considered discrete and are initiated and concluded at the patient’s discretion, which occurs each individual appointment. Generally, the Company satisfies its performance obligations at a point in time, specifically when it has the right to invoice the customer for the work completed, which usually occurs on an interaction basis for the work performed during any given billable interaction. The Company has determined that the underlying nature of the services provided remains consistent across different payor types. Consequently, the Company utilizes a portfolio approach to assess price concessions in its contracts with patients. The Company recognizes revenue for patient care services net of price concessions, which include contractual adjustments provided to third-party payors, discounts offered to uninsured patients in accordance with the Company’s policy, and/or implicit price concessions extended to patients. Implicit price concessions, representing differences between the amount the Company expects to receive from patients and standard billing rates, are accounted for as contractual adjustments or discounts, deducted from gross revenue to calculate net revenues. The Company bases its estimates of contractual adjustments and discounts on contractual agreements, its discount policies, and historical experience.
Revenue from retail sales is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer. This occurs when the customer can direct the use of, and obtain substantially all benefits from, the Company’s products, generally at the time of shipment or customer pickup. Revenue is recorded at the net sales price, which includes estimates of variable consideration such as product returns, rebates, discounts, and other adjustments. Taxes collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues.
Revenue from service affiliate agreements is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, or when services are rendered to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and the collectability of consideration is probable. The company recognizes revenue after the service price has been allocated and when it satisfies the performance obligation. Usually, there is only a single performance obligation in the sale and service, and therefore the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. This typically occurs at a point in time when products and or services are rendered, delivered, or shipped. The transaction price for contracts is set per the contract language. The transaction price for services is set by the company for the various service options, less current discounts or coupons offered, where those discounts are set and approved by management from time to time.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded with respect to temporary differences in the accounting treatment of items for financial reporting purposes and for income tax purposes. Where, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some amount of recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established for the amount that, in management’s judgment, is sufficient to reduce the deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. A tax position must meet a minimum probability threshold before a financial statement benefit is recognized. The minimum threshold is defined as a tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based awards granted to qualified employees, non-employee directors and consultants are measured at fair value and recognized as an expense in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Share-Based Payments.” For service-based awards, stock-based compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The fair value of stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. Restricted stock awards are valued based on the closing stock price on the date of grant (intrinsic value method). The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur.

Revenues
The Company recognized $114,741 in reimbursements from insurance payers during the three months ended December 31, 2024, representing a 7.7% increase compared to the $106,567 recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2024. The Company recognized $347,633 in reimbursements from insurance payers during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, representing a 1,088% increase compared to the $29,265 recognized during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.
The Company had revenues of $2,719,840 for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $3,768,598 for the year end December 31, 2023. Revenues decreased comparable to the prior year, by $1,048,758, or 27.8 %. The decrease in revenues is primarily attributed to a decrease in retail sales as the Company discontinued white-labeled product sales in 2024 and decreases in cash-pay patient care services compared to the prior period as KindlyMD focused on shifting toward insurance billing with commercial and governmental payers including Medicare, Medicaid, Select Health, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and other commercial payers. We believe the investment in the expansion of in-network insurance contracts will provide greater opportunity for more revenue growth in the future compared to previous years.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased by $677,793, or 12.6%, to $6,066,611 for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $5,388,818 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in operating expenses is primarily due to the following:
1. Salaries and wages decreased by $136,062, or 3.7%, to $3,562,405 for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $3,698,467 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in salaries and wages is primarily attributed to $351,833 less contract labor in our operations and IT departments.
2. General and administrative expenses increased by $551,007, or 40.6%, to $1,907,055 for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $1,356,048 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily attributed to increased professional fees in the amount of $373,721 and directors’ and officers’ insurance expense of $172,695.
3. Research and development expenses increased by $375,231, or 15,009.2%, to $377,731 for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $2,500 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in research and development expenses is primarily attributed to KindlyMD building and segmenting our Enterprise Data Management infrastructure.
4. Cost of revenues decreased by $143,352, or 63.4%, to $82,814 for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $226,166 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in cost of revenues is primarily attributed to the elimination of white-labeled retail products, corresponding decline in revenues and a reduction to the inventory reserve.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income decreased by $273,635, or 9917.9%, to $(270,876) for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $2,759 for the year ended December 31, 2023. This decrease in net other income is primarily attributable to the combination of the following:
1. Interest income increased by $41,807, or 71.3%, to $100,410 for year ended December 31, 2024, from $58,603 for the year ended December 31, 2023.
2. Interest expense increased by $337,604, or 604.5%, to $393,448 for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $55,844 for the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase in interest expense is primarily attributed to accrued interest and amortization of debt discounts of $374,528 as further described in Note 8.
3. As a result of the repayment and issuance of common shares upon settlement of notes payable in connection with our IPO, during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $38,889 and a gain on change in fair value of derivative liability of $61,051.
Net Loss
As a result of the cumulative effect of the factors described above, our net loss was $3,617,647 for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $1,617,461 for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Net loss per share increased by $0.31 or 86.7%, to $(0.67) for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $(0.36) for the year ended December 31, 2023. Management continues to look for opportunities to increase sales, acquire additional businesses, improve margins, and control ongoing operating expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2024, we had working capital of $1,899,602, an increase of $2,097,122, or 1,061.7%, compared to a working capital deficit of $197,520 as of December 31, 2023. The increase in working capital is primarily due to $5.9 million in net proceeds received from the Company’s IPO, offset by cash used for operations. We believe that our existing balances of cash, and capital resources, inclusive of available financing opportunities and funds generated from operations, are sufficient to meet anticipated capital requirements, fund our operations and support our growth. Our cash requirements, however, are subject to change as business conditions change.
As of December 31, 2024, we had total assets of $3,677,992, an increase of $2,578,790, or 234.6%, compared to $1,099,202 as of December 31, 2023. The increase in total assets is primarily due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $1,748,124, right of use assets operating leases in the amount of $405,945, and capitalized software of $388,338. These increases were offset by a decrease in PP&E of $112,337.
As of December 31, 2024, we had total liabilities of $1,109,682, a decrease of $97,932, or 8.1%, compared to $1,207,614 as of December 31, 2023. This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in derivative liability of $238,000 and a decrease in notes payable of $228,871 offset by increases in right of use liabilities of $331,722.
As of December 31, 2024, we had total stockholders’ equity of $2,568,310, an increase of $2,676,722, or 2,469.0%, compared to stockholders’ deficit of $108,412 as of December 31, 2023.
The following table sets forth key components of our results of cash flow activities during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Cash Flow
During the year ended December 31, 2024, our net cash used in operating activities was $3,073,891, compared to $449,489 during the year ended December 31, 2023. The change in net cash from operating activities is primarily due to the net loss increase of $2,000,186 offset by a decrease in prepaid expenses and accounts payable of $421,023.
Net cash used in investing activities was $401,631 during the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $14,420 during the year ended December 31, 2023.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $5,223,646 during the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $802,491 during the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in cash provided by financing activities is primarily due to the net proceeds from the issuance of common shares and warrants in connection with our public offering.
As a result of cash flow activities, our net cash increased by $1,748,124, or 332.7%, to $2,273,624 as of December 31, 2024 from $525,500 as of December 31, 2023.
Outlook
We are in the early stages of development. During 2024 our focus was on enhancing the Company’s in-network status with commercial insurance payers, beginning development of an industry leading data management program, and continuing the shift-from cash-pay services to insurance reimbursed services. During 2025 and beyond, we expect to continue investing in our growth initiatives, including expanding our insured client base, enhancing our integrated behavioral health and telemedicine service offerings, and improving our operational efficiency. We continue to focus on building the foundational data environment and integration pathways for initial data sources and standardization of data for analysis to create and enhance the value of our data offerings. We also continue to seek transactions that will enhance shareholder value.
We believe that these investments will support our long-term growth and profitability.
However, we recognize that there are inherent risks and uncertainties associated with our growth strategy, including the ability to maintain and grow our client base, successfully execute on our strategic initiatives, and manage our operating expenses. We will continue to monitor our financial performance and make adjustments to our growth strategy as necessary to ensure the long-term success of our business.
Plan of Operation
We are in the early stages of development. At present, our operations are solely based in Utah and we have not currently targeted or planned specific expansion into other states. Given the complex, state-specific regulatory landscape of the healthcare industry, expanding our operations will necessitate extensive preparation and understanding of the relevant regulations, licensure, and registration requirements in any such state. Each state has a unique set of rules and regulations pertaining to the use, possession, and distribution of controlled substance prescription services and use by patients. Consequently, any potential expansion will involve a careful evaluation of the state-specific regulatory environment, ensuring full compliance with all requisite laws and regulations to prevent legal ramifications.
The company has not taken concrete steps to expand into markets outside of Utah as of this filing, nor have we entered into commitments for any material acquisitions or investments.
1. With the success of our initiative to enhance in-network status with many commercial insurance payers in Utah now complete, we are planning an expansion of current and associated service lines, including integrated behavioral health, within the scope of KindlyMD’s operations. The expansion of services with integrated behavioral health will be a central focus as we continue to close the gaps left by traditional healthcare in order to position KindlyMD as a leader in holistic, patient-first care.
KindlyMD may also expand upon its existing service lines as we pursue virtual behavioral health program expansion to overlay this integrated approach to clinics we own or work with.
2. Continue development of a pioneering medical data set in order to reshape healthcare thorough evidence-based innovation. At KindlyMD we are using our unique data to better understand the needs of our patients, ranging from how often we interact with them to what might enhance their health outcomes. Various tools are used to further our goals including state of the art Large Language Models (LLMs) to quickly analyze and output our findings. By harnessing the power of medical data, we hope to create a comprehensive healthcare model that not only addresses the immediate needs of patients but also contributes to long-term health improvements and better overall outcomes.
3. Execute a comprehensive branding, marketing, digital and social media strategy for expansion of our revenue lines. KindlyMD markets its services through paid channels including but not limited to paid online advertising, social media, emails, YouTube channel content, blogging, press releases, and more.
4. Acquisition growth strategy. We have not identified specific acquisition targets to disclose as of this filing. We intend to continue to seek beneficial acquisitions as much as we are able. These transactions will be evaluated by a team led by the CEO, COO, and consultant evaluators in order to maximize shareholder value.
Enterprise Data Management
● Data collection, research, and analysis are core tenets within KindlyMD and will continue through the 2025 operational plan and beyond. Key implementation projects may allow us to improve clinical research and development of best practice guidelines within the pain treatment market as well as develop products and services to enhance opioid prescription safety and risk mitigation programs for patients.
● Highly focused patient evaluations and efficient documentation methods may produce clinical data sets that illustrate and help produce potentially highly effective patient treatment methods. Bringing behavioral healthcare to clinics we own or work with allows for BHC and prescriber to work together in real-time and coordinate care plans. This allows us to create standard workflows based on provider/patient interaction. This can be both art and science and may yield new processes that could improve patient outcomes in relation to the opioid epidemic in the United States. Specifically, by reducing the time to coordinate care, improving patient engagement and compliance, and collecting both prescriber and behavioral clinical data sets in one integrated system.
● Continue work to interface electronic health record systems and clinical data models to create real-time metrics for patient’s or population’s health. Data points gathered from staff, providers, patients, and third parties, are entered into multiple systems with discreet data fields and reporting capabilities. We take this data, collate it, and analyze it to identify potentially efficacious treatment methodologies. Large data sets of this type may have many applications that could range from improved patient outcomes to licensed access.
● Continued enhancements to data security policies and protocols. The healthcare and technology industries have constantly changed and increasing requirements. It is imperative that we remain abreast of current and emerging technologies if we wish to be at the forefront of the fight against the opioid epidemic. It is our plan to constantly assess and improve our processes, policies, and procedures to safeguard our data and our patients.
● Integration with internal and partner resources. Kindly may work with partners, vendors, third parties, as well as internally to enhance the flow of bi-directional information where possible. Once created, integrations of this type can greatly increase the speed of information gathering and data research and may even be licensed for use with other entities.
Outpatient Medicine
KindlyMD will work to expand services of outpatient evaluation and management of chronic pain patients as well as patients seeking management of alternative, non-opioid medicine. This effort includes expansion of services within the Utah market and may include expansion into additional markets. KindlyMD has been able to hire highly skilled and motivated individuals who advocate for non-opioid drugs and who are motivated to be involved in the integrated behavioral healthcare movement. We anticipate increasing labor costs due to this and macroeconomic factors.
Clinic operations will continue to require a high number of licensed prescribers. Growth of the program will also require an increasing number of licensed therapists at a rate sufficient to maintain patient care and capacity.
Our model of healthcare blends prescribers and licensed behavioral health clinicians into patient care plans at the point of service. Although there are a number of small to large networks using this model in low-income and high-risk population care, we know of no other large clinic in Utah which uses this integration model.
Service Affiliate Agreements
KindlyMD networks with local healthcare clinics and product suppliers in geographic markets to maximize our ability to increase service offerings to more individuals, including overlaying our integrated model of health care into existing clinics. We work with local healthcare facilities, individual providers and administrators at the local Veterans Administration (VA), as well as organizations specializing in evaluation and management of similar conditions as well as organizations focused in specialized procedures, treatments, and behavioral therapy. These include referrals and cooperation in patient care plans which may include services provided by different clinics. These service agreements are governed by a healthcare Business Associate Agreement (BAA) as well as financial contracts, where necessary. KindlyMD plans to increase affiliate agreements thru 2025.
Our BAA with local healthcare clinics, manufacturers and vendors includes written description of obligations and activities of the business associate, explaining that the associate will not use of disclose Protected Health Information (PHI) other than as permitted or required by the Agreement or as required by law. It also states that the associate will use appropriate safeguards to prevent the use or disclosure of PHI. The Company does not currently have vendors or associates that review predictions or inferences made by AI. Furthermore, the BAA specifies situations in which the associate is allowed to use and disclose PHI. This could be for the purposes of the services they provide, or for managing and administering their own business. The Company is responsible for notifying the associate of any limitations in its notice of privacy practices, changes in and individual’s permission to use PHI, and any restrictions on the use of PHI. The term of the BAA is specified in each BAA and termination provisions allow for termination of the BAA if the associate violates a material term of the Agreement. Otherwise, the BAA remains in effect until written notice of termination.
KindlyMD has a combined reach of over 42,000 email contacts and 24,200 YouTube subscribers that have opted in to our education and marketing communication. We strive to build a large audience of those seeking honest, evidence-based, holistic and practical information about alternatives to opioids and leverage this through service affiliate agreements.
Retail Sales
Our mission is to enhance our patient’s and customers’ overall quality of life and reduce the use of prescription medications, specifically opioids. KindlyMD will continue to offer retail products to patients and customers through in-clinic and online retail sales. The company may continue to sell products that contain CBD, while maintaining THC amounts within the limits set in the 2018 Farm Bill.
KindlyMD’s commercial operations are in Salt Lake City, Utah.
No assurances can be given that any of these plans will come to fruition or that if implemented they will necessarily yield positive results.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Kindly MD, Inc.:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Kindly MD, Inc. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, 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.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

KINDLY MD, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1-ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Kindly MD, Inc. (“KindlyMD” or “the Company”) was formed on December 2, 2019. The Company filed their original articles of organization in the State of Utah under the name Utah Therapeutic Health Center, PLLC. The Company is located in Salt Lake City, Utah and is a healthcare and healthcare data company, focused on holistic pain management and aiding in the fight against the opioid epidemic.
In April 2020, the Company converted from a PLLC to an LLC. In March 2022, the Company converted from an LLC to a corporation and changed its name to “Kindly MD, Inc.” In July 2022, the Company amended its articles of incorporation, including the addition of preferred stock and authorized common shares.
NOTE 2-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the Unites States of America (“GAAP”) as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of and during the reported period of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company evaluates estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains deposits in several financial institutions, which may at times exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company has not experienced any losses related to amounts in excess of FDIC limits. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had cash in excess of FDIC limits of $1,817,574 and $237,097, respectively.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications within operating expenses have been made to the prior period’s financial statements to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. There is no impact in total to the results of operations and cash flows in all periods presented.
Revenue Recognition
The Company records revenue in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” Revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five-step approach: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company primarily recognizes revenue from: (i) patient care services related to medical evaluation and treatment and (ii) product retail sales, (iii) service affiliate agreements.
Patient Care Services
Revenue from patient care services, which relates to medical evaluation and treatment, is reported at the amount reflecting the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for providing these services. These amounts are due from patients, third-party payors (including Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance payers), and others. The patient is considered the Company’s customer, and a signed patient treatment consent typically constitutes a written contract between the Company and the patient. Patient care services are considered discrete and are initiated and concluded at the patient’s discretion, which occurs each individual appointment. Generally, the Company satisfies its performance obligations at a point in time, specifically when it has the right to invoice the customer for the work completed, which usually occurs on an interaction basis for the work performed during any given billable interaction. The Company has determined that the underlying nature of the services provided remains consistent across different payor types. Consequently, the Company utilizes a portfolio approach to assess price concessions in its contracts with patients. The Company recognizes revenue for patient care services net of price concessions, which include contractual adjustments provided to third-party payors, discounts offered to uninsured patients in accordance with the Company’s policy, and/or implicit price concessions extended to patients. Implicit price concessions, representing differences between the amount the Company expects to receive from patients and standard billing rates, are accounted for as contractual adjustments or discounts, deducted from gross revenue to calculate net revenues. The Company bases its estimates of contractual adjustments and discounts on contractual agreements, its discount policies, and historical experience.
Product Retail Sales
Revenue from retail sales is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer. This occurs when the customer can direct the use of, and obtain substantially all benefits from, the Company’s products, generally at the time of shipment or customer pickup. Revenue is recorded at the net sales price, which includes estimates of variable consideration such as product returns, rebates, discounts, and other adjustments. Taxes collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues.
Service Affiliate Agreements
Revenue from service affiliate agreements is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer, or when services are rendered to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and the collectability of consideration is probable. The Company recognizes revenue after the service price has been allocated and when it satisfies the performance obligation. Usually, there is only a single performance obligation in the sale and service, and therefore the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. This typically occurs at a point in time when products and or services are rendered, delivered, or shipped. The transaction price for contracts is set per the contract language. The transaction price for services is set by the company for the various service options, less current discounts or coupons offered, where those discounts are set and approved by management from time to time.
Customer Deposits
Customer deposits include amounts collected from customers upon placing an order or scheduling services. Deposits are recognized as revenue when the Company fulfils its performance obligations. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, customer deposits amounted to $2,275 and $3,425, respectively.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables arising from credit sales to customers in the normal course of business. Accounts receivable are recorded at the time of sale, net of an allowance for current expected credit losses (“CECL”) in accordance with ASC Topic 326, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses”, The Company estimates CECL based on historical bad debt experience, the aging of accounts receivable, the current creditworthiness of our customers, prevailing economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forward-looking information. Accounts receivable balances are written off when they are determined to be uncollectible. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company estimated an allowance for CECL of $32,110 and $0, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods acquired for resale and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventory costs include freight, handling fees, and other costs incurred to bring inventories to its present location and condition. Work in process inventories are immaterial to the financial statements.
The Company periodically reviews its inventories and records a provision for estimated losses related to excess, damaged, slow-moving, or obsolete inventories. The amount of the provision is equal to the difference between the cost of the inventories and its net realizable value based upon assumptions about product quality, damages, shrinkage, future demand, selling prices, and market conditions. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the estimated reserve for obsolescence amounted to $0 and $62,000, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the base term of the lease or estimated life of the leasehold improvements. Maintenance and repairs of property and equipment are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:
SCHEDULE OF ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES
Useful Life (Years)
Leasehold improvements 2-5
Furniture
Computer software and equipment
Medical equipment
Software Development Costs
The Company accounts for the costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use under ASC Topic 350-40, “Internal-Use Software.” Costs are capitalized once the preliminary project stage is complete, funding is committed, and it is probable the software will be completed and used for its intended purpose. Capitalized costs primarily consist of direct and contracted labor and related expenses for developing internal systems and tools, and cloud-based solutions, including the Company’s Data Lake Enterprise Data Management (“EDM”) system. Capitalization ceases when the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, with amortization of capitalized costs beginning on a straight-line basis over the software’s estimated useful life. Costs such as overhead, general and administrative, training, and post-configuration maintenance are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalized internal-use software development costs of $388,338 and $0 during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, capitalized software, and right-of-use (“ROU”) assets for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. These events and circumstances may include significant decreases in the market price of an asset or asset group, significant changes in the extent or manner in which an asset or asset group is being used by the Company or in its physical condition, a significant change in legal factors or in the business climate, a history or forecast of future operating or cash flow losses, significant disposal activity, a significant decline in the Company’s share price, a significant decline in revenue or adverse changes in the economic environment.
If such facts indicate a potential impairment, the Company assesses the recoverability of an asset group by determining if the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets over the remaining economic life of the primary asset in the asset group. If the recoverability test indicates that the carrying value of the asset group is not recoverable, the Company will estimate the fair value of the asset group using appropriate valuation methodologies, which would typically include an estimate of discounted cash flows. Any impairment would be measured as the difference between the asset group’s carrying amount and its estimated fair value. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no impairments of long-lived assets.
Leases
The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842, “Leases.” The Company determines whether a contract is a lease at contract inception or for a modified contract at the modification date. Contracts containing a lease are further evaluated for classification as a ROU operating lease or a finance lease.
At inception or modification, the Company recognizes ROU assets and related lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases greater than one year in duration. Lease liabilities and their corresponding ROU assets are initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments as of the lease commencement date. If the lease contains a renewal and/or termination option, the exercise of the option is included in the term of the lease if the Company is reasonably certain that a renewal or termination option will be exercised. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) based on the information available at the commencement date of the respective lease to determine the present value of future payments. The IBR is determined by estimating what it would cost the Company to borrow a collateralized amount equal to the total lease payments over the lease term based on the contractual terms of the lease and the location of the leased asset.
Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term in equal amounts of rent expense attributed to each period during the term of the lease, regardless of when actual payments are made. This generally results in rent expense in excess of cash payments during the early years of a lease and rent expense less than cash payments in later years. The difference between rent expense recognized and actual rental payments is typically represented as the spread between the ROU asset and lease liability.
When calculating the present value of minimum lease payments, the Company accounts for leases as one single lease component if a lease has both lease and non-lease components. Variable lease and non-lease components are expensed as incurred. The Company does not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have an initial lease term of 12 months or less.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount the Company would receive to sell an asset, or pay to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In the absence of such data, fair value is estimated using internal information consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction.
According to ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” the fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses appropriate valuation techniques based on available inputs to measure the fair value of its assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy is defined in the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and customer deposits approximate fair value, given their short-term nature. The carrying value of lease obligations and notes payable also approximates fair value given these instruments bear prevailing market interest rates.
Long-lived assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis if it is determined that impairment indicators are present.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded with respect to temporary differences in the accounting treatment of items for financial reporting purposes and for income tax purposes. Where, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some amount of recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established for the amount that, in management’s judgment, is sufficient to reduce the deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. A tax position must meet a minimum probability threshold before a financial statement benefit is recognized. The minimum threshold is defined as a tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company concluded a full valuation allowance was necessary against of its net deferred tax asset of $1,131,379. The Company had no recorded uncertain tax positions, interest or penalties in the accompanying financial statements. The Company regularly assesses its tax positions and adjusts recorded amounts as necessary to ensure compliance with applicable tax laws and regulations.
Treasury Stock
Treasury stock repurchased and held by the Company is recorded as a separate line item on the balance sheets and is carried at cost until retired or reissued. Legal, brokerage, and other costs to acquire shares are not included in the cost of treasury stock. When treasury stock is reissued or retired, any gains are recorded in additional paid-in capital. Losses upon reissuance or retirement first reduce additional paid-in capital to the extent of previously recognized net gains from the same class of stock, with any excess losses recognized to retained earnings.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based awards granted to qualified employees, non-employee directors and consultants are measured at fair value and recognized as an expense in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Share-Based Payments.” For service-based awards, stock-based compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The fair value of stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. Restricted stock awards are valued based on the closing stock price on the date of grant (intrinsic value method). The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur.
Research and Development
In accordance with ASC Topic 730, “Research and Development,” the Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. These expenses include costs incurred during the EDM preliminary project stage and planning future data integrations. Research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, were $377,731 and $2,500, respectively.
Embedded Derivative Liabilities
The Company evaluates the embedded features in accordance with ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging Activities.” Certain conversion options and redemption features are required to be bifurcated from their host instrument and accounted for as free-standing derivative financial instruments should certain criteria be met. The Company applies significant judgment to identify and evaluate complex terms and conditions of all of its financial instruments, including notes payable, to determine whether such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. Embedded derivatives must be separately measured from the host contract if all the requirements for bifurcation are met. The assessment of the conditions surrounding the bifurcation of embedded derivatives depends on the nature of the host contract and the features of the derivatives. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are recognized at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations each period.
Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the dilutive effect, if any, of common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents whose effect would be antidilutive are not included in diluted loss per share. The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive effect, which assumes that all common stock equivalents have been exercised at the beginning of the period and that the funds obtained from those exercises were used to repurchase shares of common stock of the Company at the average closing market price during the period. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were 2,862,745 and 3,000, potential common share equivalents from stock options and warrants, respectively, excluded from the diluted loss per share calculations as their effect is anti-dilutive.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

NOTE 9-NOTES PAYABLE
10% OID Promissory Notes
On December 22, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement in a private placement transaction with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the investors 10% original issue discount (“OID”) promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $350,000 for total cash proceeds of $295,000. The notes bore interest at a rate of 10% per annum and matured on December 22, 2024.
On January 24, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement in a private placement transaction with a certain accredited investor, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the investor a 10% OID promissory note in the principal amount of $55,556 for total cash proceeds of $45,000. The note bore accrued interest at a rate of 10% per annum and matured on January 24, 2025.
The promissory notes included terms that should the Company undertake an IPO before the maturity date, the note holders were to receive (i) equity shares equal to the principal amount at the IPO share price, and (ii) repayment of the principal and accrued interest in cash. The notes contained customary covenants and events of default for loans of this type.
At issuance, the Company evaluated whether the promissory notes contained embedded features that qualify as derivatives pursuant to ASC 815. The Company determined that the notes embedded features, specifically should the Company undertake an IPO before the maturity date, the note holders would receive (i) equity shares equal to the principal amount at the IPO share price, and (ii) repayment of the principal and accrued interest in cash. These embedded features constituted deemed redemption features as a result of the substantial premium received by the note holders. The Company concluded that these redemption features required bifurcation from the notes and subsequent accounting in the same manner as a freestanding derivative.
The fair value of the embedded redemption derivative liability within the promissory notes was calculated using a Probability Weighted Expected Return valuation methodology, considering the likelihood of occurrence. The model used a discount rate of 15% and assumptions of an 80% probability related to likelihood of the Company completing an IPO. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the redemption features were measured each reporting period and recognized in the statement of operations. The OID and issuance costs for the promissory notes, along with the fair value of the embedded redemption derivative liability, were collectively recorded as a debt discount. The debt discount is be amortized to interest expense over the respective term of the notes using the effective interest method.
As further disclosed in Note 10, the IPO was completed on June 3, 2024. In accordance with the terms of the 10% OID promissory note agreements, the Company repaid the outstanding notes totaling $463,534 (including both principal and accrued interest) and issued each note holder common stock equal to the principal amount of the notes at the IPO price of $5.50, totaling 80,808 shares of restricted common stock, with a fair value of $214,949 or $2.66 per share. Consequently, the corresponding derivative liability was extinguished and a loss on extinguishment of debt of $38,889 was recognized.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Management has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As a result of this assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below. As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to include an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting issued by our independent registered public accounting firm in this report.
Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of the CEO to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal controls over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records which in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the Company’s assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Notwithstanding the material weakness, we believe that our financial statements contained in this report fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods covered by this report in all material respects.
Our management, with the oversight of our audit committee, has initiated steps and plans to take additional measures to remediate the underlying causes of the material weakness.
Planned Remediation of Material Weaknesses
Our management has been actively engaged in developing and implementing remediation plans to address the material weaknesses described above. These remediation efforts are ongoing and include or are expected to include:
● engaging internal control consultants to assist us in performing a financial reporting risk assessment as well as identifying and designing our system of internal controls necessary to mitigate the risks identified;
● preparation of written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures;
● until we have sufficient technical accounting resources, we have engaged external consultants to provide support and to assist us in our evaluation of more complex applications of GAAP.
We continue to enhance corporate oversight over process-level controls and structures to ensure that there is appropriate assignment of authority, responsibility, and accountability to enable remediation of our material weaknesses. We believe that our remediation plan will be sufficient to remediate the identified material weaknesses and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. As we continue to evaluate, and work to improve, our internal control over financial reporting, management may determine that additional measures to address control deficiencies or modifications to the remediation plan are necessary.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as set forth above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Any officer indemnification shall be limited to proceedings that are directly related to or have arisen out of the officer’s acts on behalf of the Corporation.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between our officers and members of our Board of Directors.
Significant Employees
The significant employees are Timothy Pickett and Adam Cox and Jared Barrera.
Director Independence
The listing rules of Nasdaq require that independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors. In addition, the rules of Nasdaq require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation, and nominating and governance committees be independent. Audit committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Under the rules of Nasdaq, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
Our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of our directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship with it that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, the Board has determined that three members are “independent” as that term is defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of Nasdaq. In making these determinations, our Board considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with the Company and all other facts and circumstances our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of the Company’s capital stock by each non-employee director, and any transactions involving them described in the section captioned, “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”
Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight
The Board oversees our business and considers the risks associated with our business strategy and decisions. The Board currently implements its risk oversight function as a whole. As such, it is important for us to have our Chief Executive Officer serve on the Board as he plays key roles in the risk oversight of our Company. Each of the Board committees, when established prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this filing is a part, will also provide risk oversight in respect of its areas of concentration and report material risks to the Board for further consideration.
Board Committees

Copies of the charters are available on our website at www.kindlymd.com. Our Board may establish other committees as it deems necessary or appropriate from time to time.
The Board may create committees to delegate certain powers to act on behalf of the Board, provided the Board passes a resolution indicating such creation or delegation.

Director Compensation
Our directors play a critical role in guiding our strategic direction and overseeing the management of our Company. Ongoing developments in corporate governance and financial reporting have resulted in an increased demand for such highly qualified and productive public company directors. The many responsibilities and risks and the substantial time commitment of being a director of a public company require that we provide adequate incentives for our directors’ continued performance by paying compensation commensurate with our directors’ workload. Our directors are compensated based upon their respective levels of Board participation and responsibilities, including service on Board committees. Our director compensation is overseen by the Compensation Committee, which makes recommendations to our Board on the appropriate structure for our director compensation program and the appropriate amount of compensation. Our Board is responsible for final approval of our director compensation program and the compensation paid to our directors.
Annual Cash Retainers.
No additional meeting fees were paid to our directors for Fiscal 2024.
Reimbursement. Our directors are entitled to reimbursement for their reasonable travel and lodging expenses for attending Board and Board committee meetings.

Indemnification
The Company shall indemnify any and all of its directors, officers, former directors, former officers and any person who may have served at its request as a director or officer of another company in which it owns shares or of which it is a creditor, who were or are made a party or are threatened to be made a party to or are involved in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative (each a “Proceeding”), or any appeal in such a Proceeding or any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such a Proceeding, against any and all liabilities, damages, reasonable and documented expenses (including reasonably incurred and substantiated attorneys’ fees), financial effects of judgments, fines, penalties (including excise and similar taxes and punitive damages) and amounts paid in settlement in connection with such Proceeding by any of them. Such indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled otherwise.
To the extent that indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling our Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. If 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 of our Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by any of our directors, officers or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of that issue.
