NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

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

 

The wholly-owned subsidiary, OptimizeRx Corporation, is a technology solutions company targeting the health care industry. Their objective is to bring better access to better care through connecting patients, physicians and pharmaceutical manufacturers through technology. Once defined as a marketing and advertising company through its consumer website, OptimizeRx is maturing as a technology solutions provider as it launched its direct to physician solution, SampleMD. SampleMD allows physicians to search, print and send available sample trial vouchers and/or co-pay coupons on behalf of their patients. The SampleMD solution can either sit on the doctor’s desktop or can be integrated into the ePrescribing or Electronic Medical Records applications. OptimizeRx solutions provide pharmaceutical manufacturers either a direct to consumer and/or direct to physician channels for communicating and promoting their products. It provides health care providers a means to provide sampling and coupons without having to physically store samples on site, and it provides better access and affordability to the patients.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for the financial statements to be not misleading for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

Accounting Basis

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

 

Principles of Consolidation

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

OPTIMIZERx CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, patent rights, web development costs, accounts payable, accounts payable – related party, accrued expenses and deferred revenue approximates the carrying amount of these financial instruments due to their short-term nature. The fair value of long-term debt, which approximates its carrying value, is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are reported at realizable value, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, which is estimated and recorded in the period the related revenue is recorded. The Company has a standardized approach to estimate and review the collectability of its receivables based on a number of factors, including the period they have been outstanding. Historical collection and payer reimbursement experience is an integral part of the estimation process related to allowances for doubtful accounts. In addition, the Company regularly assesses the state of its billing operations in order to identify issues, which may impact the collectability of these receivables or reserve estimates. Bad debt expense was $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment

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

 

Revenue Recognition

All revenue is recognized when it is earned. Revenues are generated either through the Company’s website activities, in which we earn revenue from advertising and lead generation activities, or from our SampleMD activities, which include offering setup within the systems and our offers, coupons, and vouchers that enable our customers to save money on medical products and services. The Company’s processes are monitored by third parties who collect revenues from clients on a per activity basis and report and forward the revenue to the Company’s account.

 

Research and Development

The Company’s key members are part of a continual research development team and monitor new technologies, trends, services and partnerships that can provide the Company with additional services, value to healthcare and pharmaceutical industries and to the patients it serves.

 

The Company seeks to educate team members through understanding of all market dynamics that have the potential to affect the business both short term and longer term. The primary goal is to help patients better afford and access the medicines their doctor prescribes, as well as other healthcare products and services they need. Based on this, the Company continually seeks better ways to meet this mission through technology, better user experiences and new ways to engage industries to provide new support for patients needing their products. The Company is always seeking new services and solutions to offer. At this time, the three current platforms provide robust opportunities and growth during the next five years.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Income Taxes

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

 

Concentration of Credit Risks

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

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions have been made in determining the depreciable lives of such assets and the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Earnings Per Common and Common Equivalent Share

The computation of basic earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year plus common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise of warrants outstanding using the treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the year. Options, warrants and convertible preferred stock which are common stock equivalents are included in the per share calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. They have not been included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 since their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

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

 

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

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

The development is currently in process. It is not completed at September 30, 2013. Accordingly, no amortization has been recorded. The development is expected to be completed in 2014. The Company determined that the original OptimizeRx website was no longer useful so the remaining unamortized balance of $59,083 was impaired as of December 31, 2010. Amortization expense for the web development costs was $32,572 and $31,677 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Amortization expense for the web development costs was $97,717 and $94,964 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

NOTE 16 – CONTINGENT LIABILITY

 

On January 14, 2013, the Company hired a new CEO. The employment agreement required annual compensation of $175,000 that was to be accrued and deferred until at least January 1, 2014. Additionally, the agreement required the issuance of 2,000,000 options with an exercise price of $1.00 for a term of five years. The options were not exercisable until at least January 1, 2014, and were only exercisable after reaching certain financial terms and conditions. Due to these restrictions, no accrual was made for the issuance of these options.

 

On September 20, 2013, the Company entered into a separation agreement with the CEO. As part of the terms of the separation agreement, the accrued compensation up to the date of separation was paid and the options were terminated. Also as part of the agreement, the Company will be involved with the former CEO in a limited role as a consultant for one year to assist in various initiatives and in transition of various ongoing projects for 500,000 shares of company stock. Half of the value of the shares will be expensed immediately, with the other half expensed over the one year life of the agreement. 7.69% of the second half of the stock value has been expensed at September 30, 2013, with the remainder to be expensed as services are rendered over the remaining life of the agreement. The unamortized balance has been recorded as Deferred Stock Compensation in the equity section of the balance sheet.

Overview

 

We finished the third quarter of 2013 with revenue of $1,373,029, bringing revenue for the first nine months of 2013 to $3,146,406. We achieved net income during the third quarter of $10,776 and net income of $260,109 for the first nine months of 2013. By comparison, we had a net loss of $106,174 and $482,969, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

 

The record revenues were driven primarily by our SampleMD solution, which generated approximately 327,115 new ePrescriptions with co-pay coupons or free sample vouchers during the third quarter of 2013, helping patients more affordably start and stay on their prescribed medications. That is a substantial increase from the 90,135 distributions during the third quarter of 2012.

 

We continue to be very enthusiastic about our growth and the state of our core business. Although the 3^rd quarter presented us with some challenging hurdles, we continue to experience growth in our revenues, gain cooperation from our partners, are engaging in new industry changing partnership discussions, and have seen increasing inquiries from the pharmaceutical manufacturers to assist in helping them build their EHR marketing strategies.

 

Initial market reaction to the OPTIMIZERx announcement of its emerging OPTIMIZEHR consulting practice has been very positive as we have engaged in our first two (2) major pharmaceutical manufacture EHR strategy initiatives (pilot projects). Coordinating efforts with our strategic partners, we have collaborated to deliver sound strategy for each of these manufacturers. These efforts have resulted in ongoing and growing commitments by these clients with new and expanded contracts. OPTIMIZERx will continue to work with its partners in building out this practice as more clients are interested in Drug File Integration, Sales Force Training and Strategy.

 

The results of our efforts are reflected in the growth and record revenues experienced during the 3^rd quarter despite overcoming challenges presented in the quarter. For personal reasons, Shad Stastney, who served as Chairman and CEO of the company since January 1, 2013, left his position on September 20, 2013. As the vacancy left by Mr. Stastney’s departure left the investor community concerned, as reflected in the unfortunate downturn of our stock price, we remain very optimistic as these events did not affect our core operations, did not affect our capacity to deliver campaigns for our clients, did not affect our sales pipeline, and did not affect the revenue we reported in the 3^rd quarter. It did affect the overall net income during the 3^rd quarter as we have posted a onetime expense relative to the settlement agreement reached with Mr. Stastney. With these challenges, the company remained profitable in the 3^rd quarter and continues to generate cash from operations.

 

Going forward into the 4^th quarter and into the New Year, we continue to drive our two primary messages to the pharmaceutical industry:

 

1) SampleMD has the largest capacity to deliver targeted promotional and incentive messaging to physicians at point of prescription through interoperability with multiple disparate electronic health platforms; and

 

2) Electronic health platforms (EMRs, eRx, Patient Portals) are the most cost-effective way to reach physicians and patients, as opposed to external web sites that have been traditionally the focus of their non-rep marketing, and should therefore be an increasing focus for all pharmaceutical marketing dollars.

 

In summary, we remain committed to working with top organizations to provided better affordability and access to healthcare for the patients we serve. To achieve this, we will continue to work with leading providers in partnering to provide simple to use solutions. As compliance and regulatory requirements (i.e. meaningful use) continue to surround healthcare providers, OptimizeRx continues through its partnerships and internal R&D to become the “HUB” for providing access to these ease-of-use solutions.

 

With these continued efforts, we believe that SampleMD continues to be regarded as the innovative industry leader, setting the standards within this new frontier of digital EMR solution marketing for patient care.

 

Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

 

Revenues

 

Our total revenue reported for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $1,373,029, an increase of $919,875 from the three months ended September 30, 2012. Our total revenue reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $3,146,406, an increase of $1,848,426 from the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

 

Our increased revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared with the same periods ended 2012 is a result of the continued viability of our SampleMD solution and the setup and integration fees for pharmaceutical manufacturers whom are participating within this offering.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses increased to $1,362,335 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $559,305 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Our major expenses for the three months ended June 20, 2013 were salaries, wages and benefits of $344,979, revenue share expenses of $376,831, stock-based compensation of $281,925, professional fees of $151,610, depreciation and amortization of $48,225 and general and administrative expenses of $94,753. In comparison, our major expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were salaries, wages and benefits of $299,286, professional fees of $83,235, general and administrative expenses of $63,208, and depreciation and amortization of $46,735.

 

Operating expenses increased to $2,886,473 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $1,781,257 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Our major expenses for the nine months ended June 20, 2013 were salaries, wages and benefits of $1,040,238, revenue share expenses of $614,234, stock-based compensation of $310,823, professional fees of $275,004, depreciation and amortization of $144,562 and general and administrative expenses of $360,010. In comparison, our major expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were salaries, wages and benefits of $900,751, stock-based compensation of $227,922, professional fees of $186,188, depreciation and amortization of $140,087 and general and administrative expenses of $197,368..

 

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

 

Net Income

 

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $10,776, compared to a net loss of $106,174 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $260,109, compared to net loss of $482,969 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2013, we had total current assets of $1,661,935 and total assets in the amount of $2,824,116. Our total current liabilities as of September 30, 2013 were $757,725. We had working capital of $904,210 as of September 30, 2013.

 

Operating activities provided $302,987 in cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Our positive operating cash flow was largely a result of $260,109 in net income, $144,562 in depreciation and amortization, $310,823 in stock based compensation and $119,760 in changes in accounts payable, offset mainly by accounts receivable of $532,109 and deferred revenue of $35,980.

 

Investing activities used $100,558 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as a result of patent rights and website development costs.

 

We had no financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

 

As of September 30, 2013, with the current level of financing and cash on hand, we have sufficient cash to operate our business at the current level for the next twelve months but insufficient cash to achieve our business goals unless we: a) realize cash revenues on sales generated; and/or b) receive financing. We are uncertain what type of financing, if any, we will need as we continue to ramp up our revenue stream.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of September 30, 2013, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

Our critical accounting policies are set forth in Note 2 to the financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2013. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Interim Chief Executive Officer, Mr. David Harrell, and our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. David Lester. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect such controls.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

 

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

Aside from the following, we are not a party to any pending legal proceeding. We are not aware of any pending legal proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of our voting securities are adverse to us or have a material interest adverse to us.

 

On November 2, 2012, LDM Group, LLC commenced an action against us in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, Eastern Division. The complaint alleges that we infringed on a patent issued on February 21, 2012 in favor of LDM. LDM alleges that its patent is an invention of a method for making available targeted content to a prescription medication patient while the patient is still in the physician’s office. According to LDM, our Integrated SampleMD uses systems and methods that perform the elements of the LDM patent and, therefore, infringes on its patent.

 

On February 26, 2013, a settlement was reached with LDM, and LDM subsequently dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice. Shortly after executing the settlement agreement, we learned that LDM had materially breached the terms of the settlement agreement. Despite our repeated demands, LDM refused to abide by the terms of the settlement agreement. As a result, on April 1, 2013, we provided LDM with official notice of default.

 

On April 23, 2013, LDM responded by reinstituted the patent infringement action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, Eastern Division claiming that we breached the settlement agreement. We answered the complaint, filed a counterclaim for, among other things, breach of the settlement agreement and filed a preliminary injunction motion to require LDM to abide by the terms of the settlement agreement. The court has not yet decided the outcome of our preliminary injunction motion.

 

On September 19, 2013, LDM filed an amended complaint alleging an additional patent infringement claim against us. On September 25, 2013, we filed an amended answer denying the substantive allegations in LDM's amended complaint and realleging our counterclaim against LDM.

 

On February 6, 2013, we filed a Complaint for Patent Infringement against Physicians Interactive Inc., Physicians Interactive Holdings,Inc. and Skyscape.com, in which we allege that one or more of those entities has infringed on United States Patent No. 8,341,015. As of September 30, 2013, the defendants responded denying the assertions made in our Complaint, but no further action has occurred in the case.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

On August 14, 2013, we granted restricted stock awards under our 2013 Incentive Plan. Mr. David Harrell was awarded 121,875 shares of our common stock and Mr. Terry Hamilton was awarded 215,625 shares of our common stock. The restricted stock awards will vest 50% on the date six months and one day after the date of grant, and the remaining 50% one year after the first vesting date.

 

On September 20, 2013, we entered into a Separation Agreement with Mr. Shad Stastney regarding the terms and conditions of his departure from our company (the “Agreement”). Under the Agreement, among other things, we agreed to issue to Mr. Stastney 500,000 shares of our common stock, half now and the rest by January 1, 2014.

 

These securities were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The holders represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view towards distribution. The investors were given adequate information about us to make an informed investment decision. We did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising. We directed our transfer agent to issue the stock certificates with the appropriate restrictive legend affixed to the restricted stock.
