OPTIMIZERX CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

JUNE 30, 2023

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include OptimizeRx Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”).

 

We are a digital health technology company enabling care-focused engagement between life sciences organizations, healthcare providers, and patients at critical junctures throughout the patient care journey. Connecting over 60% of U.S. healthcare providers and millions of their patients through an intelligent technology platform embedded within a proprietary point-of-care network, OptimizeRx helps patients start and stay on their medications.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 have been prepared by us without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position at June 30, 2023, and our results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, have been made. Those adjustments consist of normal and recurring adjustments. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, has been derived from the audited consolidated condensed balance sheet as of that date.

 

Certain information and note disclosures, including a detailed discussion about the Company’s significant accounting policies, normally included in our annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with a reading of the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 10, 2023.

 

The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

NOTE 2 – NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

ASU Topic 2021-08 Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if it had originated the contracts. The standard was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

JUNE 30, 2023

 

NOTE 3 - CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

 

Cash equivalents include items almost as liquid as cash with maturity periods of three months or less when purchased, and short-term investments include items with maturity dates between three months and one year when purchased. We account for marketable securities in accordance with ASC 320, “Investments - Debt Securities”, which require that certain debt securities be classified into one of three categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading securities, and depending upon the classification, value the security at amortized cost or fair market value. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we have recorded $52.9 million and $55.9 million, respectively, of held-to-maturity United States’ Treasury Bills at amortized cost basis. Our held-to-maturity United States’ Treasury Bills have maturity dates between July 2023 and September 2023.

 

NOTE 4 - CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE COSTS

 

The Company capitalizes certain development costs incurred in connection with software development for internal-use software platforms used in operations and for providing services to our customers. Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred. Once software has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. The Company also capitalizes costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Capitalized internal use software development costs are included in intangible assets and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software platforms and are included in depreciation and amortization within operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Amortization of capitalized internal use software expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $95,108 and $226,819, respectively. The Company accumulates capitalizable costs related to current projects in a CIP software account, the balance of which was $1.3 million and zero at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

 

NOTE 5 – REVENUES

 

Under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, we record revenue when earned, rather than when billed. From time to time, we may record revenue based on our revenue recognition policies in advance of being able to invoice the customer, or we may invoice the customer prior to being able to recognize the revenue. Included in accounts receivable are unbilled amounts of $2,975,040 and $3,582,735 at June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. Amounts billed in advance of revenue recognition are presented as deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

The Company has several signed contracts with customers for the distribution of messaging, or other services, which include payment in advance. The payments are not recorded as revenue until the revenue is earned under its revenue recognition policy.

NOTE 6 – LEASES

 

During the six months ended, we had operating leases for office space in two multi tenant facilities in Rochester, Michigan and Zagreb, Croatia. We also had a lease on office space in Cranbury, New Jersey, which expired in January 2022. The lease in Rochester, Michigan was terminated during the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The lease in Zagreb, Croatia ends on February 28th, 2024.

 

Lease-related assets, or right-of-use assets, are recognized at the lease commencement date at amounts equal to the respective lease liabilities, adjusted for prepaid lease payments, initial direct costs, and lease incentives received. Lease-related liabilities are recognized at the present value of the remaining contractual fixed lease payments, discounted using our incremental borrowing rate. Amortization of the right of use assets is recognized as non-cash lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, while variable lease payments are expensed as incurred. Short term lease costs include month to month leases and occasional rent for transient meeting and office spaces in shared office space facilities.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s lease cost consists of the following components, each of which is included in operating expenses within the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations:

 

   Six Months Ended
June 30,
 
   2023   2022 
Operating lease cost  $49,472   $49,747 
Short-term lease cost   8,340    21,899 
Total lease cost  $57,812   $71,646 

 

The table below presents the future minimum lease payments to be made under operating leases as of June 30, 2023:

 

As of June 30, 2023    
     
2023  $10,170 
2024   5,085 
Total   15,255 
Less: discount   1,236 
Total lease liabilities  $14,019 

 

The weighted average remaining lease term at June 30, 2023 for operating leases is 0.7 years and the weighted average discount rate used in calculating the operating lease asset and liability is 4.5%. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities was $44,708 and $45,599 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, payments on lease obligations were $49,359 and $52,168, respectively, and amortization on the right of use assets was $49,472 and $52,662, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units

 

The Company recorded of $4,762,162 and $4,956,867 in compensation expense related to restricted stock units for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. A total of $13,252,855 remains to be recognized at June 30, 2023 over a weighted average period of 2.01.

 

During 2022, the Company granted certain performance based restricted stock units, the expense for which will be recorded over time once the achievement of the performance is deemed probable. There was no expense related to these restricted stock units recorded during the period.

 

The director’s compensation program calls for the grant of restricted stock units with a one year vesting period. There was $351,765 and $129,515 included in the compensation expense discussed above related to director’s compensation for the periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Equity Award Modification

 

On April 16, 2023, the Compensation Committee approved a grant to the CEO of 86,685 restricted stock units and 161,698 stock options with a grant date fair value of $2.5 million to vest over a three year period. Concurrently, the CEO forfeited his October 2021 grant of 182,398 market-based restricted stock units. The forfeiture and accompanying grant are considered an equity modification according to ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The additional compensation value created by the termination and issuance of new equity awarded, as measured using a Monte Carlo simulation was approximately $1.9 million in total. Under ASC 718 this results in a non-cash expense in current and future periods to be recognized over a three year period. These expense values are reflected and included in the option and restricted stock expense values discussed above.

 

NOTE 9 – LOSS PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

 

The number of shares related to options and restricted stock units included in diluted EPS is based on the “Treasury Stock Method” prescribed in ASC 260-10, Earnings per Share. This method assumes the theoretical repurchase of shares using proceeds of the respective stock options exercised, and for restricted stock units, the amount of compensation cost attributed to future services which have not yet been recognized, and the amount of current and deferred tax benefit, if any, that would be credited to additional paid in capital upon the vesting of the restricted stock units, at a price equal to the issuer’s average stock price during the related earnings period. Accordingly, the number of shares includable in the calculation of EPS in respect of the stock options and restricted stock units is dependent on this average stock price and will increase as the average stock price increases.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that relate to future events and expectations and, as such, constitute forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our strategies, outlook, business and financial prospects, business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions.

 

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Although OptimizeRx believes that the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, these expectations may not be attained and it is possible that actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances, many of which are beyond OptimizeRx’s control.

 

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including: seasonal trends in the pharmaceutical brand marketing industry; the inability to support our technology and scale our operations successfully, developing and implementing new and updated applications, features and services for our portals may be more difficult and expensive and take longer than expected; the inability to offer high-quality customer support for our portals; dependence on a concentrated group of customers; inability to maintain contracts with electronic prescription platforms, agreements with electronic prescription platforms and electronic health record systems being subject to audit; inability to attract and retain customers; inability to comply with laws and regulations that affect the healthcare industry; competition; developments in the healthcare industry; inability to manage growth; inability to identify suitable acquisition candidates, complete acquisitions or integrate acquisitions successfully; inability to attract and retain senior management and other key employees; economic, political, regulatory and other risks arising from our international operations; inability to protect our intellectual property; cybersecurity incidents; reduction in the performance, reliability and availability of our network infrastructure; increases in costs due to inflation and other adverse economic conditions; decreases in customer demand due to macroeconomic factors; lack of a consistent active trading market for our common stock; and volatility in the market price of our common stock.

 

The risks and uncertainties included here are not exhaustive. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Moreover, we operate in a rapidly changing and competitive environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors.

 

Further, it is not possible to assess the effect of all risk factors on our businesses 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. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. In addition, we disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date of this report.

 

Overview

 

We are a digital health technology company enabling care-focused engagement between life sciences organizations, healthcare providers, and patients at critical junctures throughout the patient care journey. Connecting over 60% of U.S. healthcare providers and millions of their patients through an intelligent technology platform embedded within a proprietary point-of-care network, OptimizeRx helps patients start and stay on their medications.

 

13

 

 

Historically, our revenue was generated primarily through the facilitation of financial messages to health care providers via their EHR and ePrescribe systems using the OptimizeRx proprietary network to solve the ever-increasing communication barriers between pharmaceutical representatives and healthcare providers that have presented in the rapidly changing healthcare industry. Over time, as the demand for communication of an increasing variety of different health information between life science companies, providers, and patients continued to rise, our platform has expanded to encompass additional solutions that enable healthcare providers to access information for patients at the point of care. These solutions include brand messaging, therapeutic support messaging, brand support, and innovative patient engagement services, all of which now make up a significant portion of our total revenue.

 

We employ a “land and expand” strategy focused on growing our existing client base and generating greater and more consistent revenues in part through the continued shift in our business model toward enterprise level engagements, while also broadening our platform with innovative proprietary solutions such as our artificial intelligence-powered real-world data solution which uses sophisticated proprietary algorithms to derive additional revenue from our existing network. Management will continue to optimize our portfolio of solutions to align our resource deployment to the best market opportunities.

 

Because the pharmaceutical industry is dominated by large companies with multiple brands, our revenue is concentrated in a relatively small number of companies. We have approximately 100 pharmaceutical companies as customers, and our revenues are concentrated in these customers. Loss of one of more of our larger customers could have a negative impact on our operating results.

 

Seasonality

 

In general, the pharmaceutical brand marketing industry experiences seasonal trends that affect the vast majority of participants in the pharmaceutical digital marketing industry. Many pharmaceutical companies allocate the largest portion of their brand marketing to the fourth quarter of the calendar year. As a result, the first half of the year tends to reflect lower activity levels and lower revenue, with gradual increases in the following quarters. We generally expect these seasonality trends to continue and our ability to effectively manage our resources in anticipation of these trends may affect our operating results.

 

Impact of Macroeconomic Events

 

Unfavorable conditions in the economy may negatively affect the growth of our business and our results of operations. For example, macroeconomic events including the COVID-19 pandemic, rising inflation and the U.S. Federal Reserve raising interest rates have led to economic uncertainty. In addition, high levels of employee turnover across the pharmaceutical industry as well as a fewer number of U.S. drug approvals could create additional uncertainty within our target customer markets. Historically, during periods of economic uncertainty and downturns, businesses may slow spending, which may impact our business and our customers’ businesses. Adverse changes in demand could impact our business, collection of accounts receivable and our expected cash flow generation, which may adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Key Performance Indicators

 

We monitor the following key performance indicators to help us evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business and make strategic decisions. We have updated the definition of “top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers” in our key performance indicators to be based upon Fierce Pharma’s most updated list of “The top 20 pharma companies by 2022 revenue”. We previously used “The top 20 pharma companies by 2020 revenue”. As a result of this change, prior periods have been restated for comparative purposes.

Average revenue per top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturer. Average revenue per top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturer is calculated by taking the total revenue the company recognized through pharmaceutical manufacturers listed in Fierce Pharma’s “The top 20 pharma companies by 2022 revenue” over the last twelve months, divided by the total number of the aforementioned pharmaceutical manufacturers that our solutions helped support over that time period. The Company uses this metric to monitor its progress in “landing and expanding” with key customers within its largest customer vertical and believes it also provides investors with a transparent way to chart our progress in penetrating this important customer segment. The decrease in the average in twelve months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily the result of the convergence of numerous macroeconomic factors that resulted in our customers slowing their rate of spend, particularly for large and/or new implementations, which we believe prolonged sales cycles with the top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers that were existing customers.

 

   Rolling Twelve Months
Ended June 30,
 
   2023   2022 
Average revenue per top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturer  $1,972,308   $2,452,836 

 

Percent of top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers that are customers. Percent of top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers that are customers is calculated by taking the number of revenue generating customers that are pharmaceutical manufacturers listed in Fierce Pharma’s “The top 20 pharma companies by 2022 revenue” over the last 12 months, which is then divided by 20—which is the number of pharmaceutical manufacturers included in the aforementioned list. The Company uses this metric to monitor its progress in penetrating key customers within its largest customer vertical and believes it also provides investors with a transparent way to chart our progress in penetrating this important customer segment. Our penetration within this core customer group stayed consistent from the twelve months ended June 30, 2022 to the twelve months ended June 30, 2023.

Percent of total revenue attributable to top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers. Percent of total revenue attributable to top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers is calculated by taking the total revenue the company recognized through pharmaceutical manufacturers listed in Fierce Pharma’s “The top 20 pharma companies by 2022 revenue” over the last twelve months, divided by our consolidated revenue over the same period. The Company uses this metric to monitor its progress in “landing and expanding” with key customers within its largest customer vertical and believes it also provides investors with a transparent way to chart our progress in penetrating this important customer segment. Our revenue from customers that aren’t top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers increased faster than our overall revenue, decreasing the percentage of our overall revenues from top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers.

 

   Rolling Twelve Months
Ended June 30,
 
   2023   2022 
Percent of total revenue attributable to top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers   58%   69%

 

Net revenue retention. Net revenue retention is a comparison of revenue generated from all customers in the previous twelve-month period to total revenue generated from the same customers in the following twelve-month period (i.e., excludes new customer relationships for the most recent twelve-month period). The Company uses this metric to monitor its ability to improve its penetration with existing customers and believes it also provides investors with a metric to chart our ability to increase our year-over-year penetration and revenue with existing customers. The retention rate in the twelve months ended June 30, 2023 was lower due to the convergence of numerous macroeconomic factors that resulted in our customers slowing their rate of spend, particularly for large and/or new implementations, which we believe prolonged sales cycles.

Revenue per average full-time employee. We define revenue per average full-time employee as total revenue over the last twelve months divided by the average number of employees over the last twelve months (i.e., the average between the number of FTEs at the end of the reported period and the number of FTEs at the end of the same period of the prior year). The Company uses this metric to monitor the productivity of its workforce and its ability to scale efficiently over time and believes the metric provides investors with a way to chart our productivity and scalability. Our revenue rate per employee declined year over year due to slower revenue growth and a higher average number of FTEs over the last 12 month period.

Net Revenues

 

Our net revenue reported for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $13.8 million, a decrease of 1% over the approximately $14.0 million from the same period in 2022. Our net revenue reported for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $26.8 million, a decrease of 3% over the approximately $27.7 million from the same period in 2022. The decrease in revenue was primarily as a result of a revenue shortfall in certain non-core business lines as well as longer than expected medical, legal and regulatory reviews that pushed revenue into the second half of the year. In addition, revenue continues to be effected by the macroeconomic pressures affecting our customers.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Our cost of revenues, composed primarily of revenue share expense paid to our network partners, was approximately $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $5.0 million for the same period of 2022. Our cost of revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 increased from $10.6 million to $11.6 million, compared to the same period in 2022. Our cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue increased to approximately 43.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 from approximately 35.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Our cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue increased to approximately 43.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from approximately 38.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase in cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was a result of solution and channel mix. Additional discussion is included in the gross margin section below.

 

Gross Margin

 

Our gross margin, which is the difference between our revenues and our cost of revenues, decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, as a result of solution and channel mix. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, there was a decrease in the percentage of activity flowing through our lower cost channels compared with a year ago.

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses decreased to approximately $12.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from approximately $12.9 million for the same period in 2022, a decrease of approximately 1%. Operating expenses increased from approximately $24.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately $27.2 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of approximately 10%. The detail by major category is reflected in the table below.

 

   Three Months Ended
June 30,
   Six Months Ended
June 30,
 
   2023   2022   2023   2022 
Stock-based compensation  $3,503,123   $4,025,323   $7,883,626   $7,199,421 
Depreciation, amortization and noncash lease expense   464,761    578,117    928,695    1,049,656 
Other general and administrative expenses   8,739,005    8,295,039    18,391,043    16,512,176 
                     
Total operating expense  $12,706,889   $12,898,479   $27,203,364   $24,761,253 

 

The greatest increase was in other general and administrative expenses. Other general and administrative expenses increased from approximately $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately $8.7 million for the same period in 2023. Other general and administrative expenses increased from $16.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately $18.4 million for the same period in 2022. This increase is mostly as a result of an increase in headcount as well as other investments to support our growth initiatives and operations.

 

Net Loss

 

We had a net loss of approximately $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to a net loss of approximately $3.9 million during the same period in 2022. We had a net loss of approximately $10.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to a net loss of approximately $7.6 million during the same period in 2022. The reasons and specific components associated with the change are discussed above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Historically, our primary sources of liquidity have been cash receipts from customers and proceeds from equity offerings. As of June 30, 2023, we had total current assets of approximately $85.1 million, compared with current liabilities of approximately $5.5 million, resulting in working capital of approximately $79.6 million and a current ratio of approximately 15.4 to 1. This represents a decrease from our working capital of approximately $90.2 million and an increase from the current ratio of 11.7 to 1 at December 31, 2022. This decrease in our working capital is discussed in more detail below.

 

Following is a table with summary data from the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, as presented.

 

   Six Months Ended
June 30,
 
   2023   2022 
Net cash (used in) / provided by operating activities  $(2,454,489)  $4,388,372 
Net cash provided by / (used in) investing activities   1,674,215    (2,186,592)
Net cash (used in) / provided by financing activities   (7,620,081)   509,420 
Net (decrease) / increase in cash and cash equivalents  $(8,400,355)  $2,711,200 

 

We used approximately $2.5 million for operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared with $4.4 million provided by operating activities in the same period in 2022. We had a net loss of $10.6 million for the first six months of 2023. Noncash expenses of $9.1 million and working capital generated by the collection of receivables partially offset the loss. Additional channel partner investment in the second quarter of 2023 as well as the timing of certain revenue share payments increased our balance of prepaid services year over year. This in conjunction with the greater net loss, led to the year over year decrease cash flow from operations.

 

Cash provided by investing activities was approximately $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. We redeemed $112.5 million in treasury bills which was partially offset by reinvestment of $109.5 million in treasury bills. We also invested in internally developed software in the amount of $1.3 million.

 

18

 

 

Cash used for financing activities was approximately $7.6 million mostly related to a company stock repurchase program approved in March 2023. During the quarter ended June 30, 2023 we used $7.5 million to purchase 526,999 shares of common stock. Additionally, we used $0.2 million to pay withholding taxes on behalf of employees vesting in restricted stock units. This activity was partially offset by the receipt of funds from the exercise of stock options.

 

We believe that funds generated from operations, together with existing cash, will be sufficient to finance our current operations for the next twelve (12) months. In addition, we believe we can generate the cash needed to operate beyond the next 12 months from operations. However, we may seek additional debt, equity financing, or lines of credit to supplement cash from operations to fund acquisitions or strategic partner relationships, make capital expenditures, and satisfy working capital needs.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K). The accounting policies we used in preparing these financial statements are substantially consistent with those we applied in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our critical accounting estimates are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

ASU Topic 2021-08 Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if it had originated the contracts. The standard was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company has contracts with various electronic health records systems and ePrescribe platforms, whereby we agree to share a portion of the revenue we generate for eCoupons or banners through their network. From time to time the Company enters into arrangements with a partner to acquire minimum amounts of messaging capabilities. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had commitments for future minimum payments of $13.3 million that will be reflected in cost of revenues during the years 2023 through 2025.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

19

 

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e), were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting which was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

To address the material weakness referenced above, the Company performed additional analysis and performed other procedures in order to prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Accordingly, management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

Plan for Remediation of Material Weakness

 

Management is actively engaged in the planning for, and implementation of, remediation efforts to address the material weakness identified above. Management intends to implement the following remediation steps:

 

a.The Company will require each third-party service organization to provide a SOC-1, Type 2 report to us.

 

b.If a SOC-1, Type 2 report is not available, the Company will evaluate each third-party’s relevant system(s) and reporting directly through inquiry and substantive testing of such third-party’s control environment.

 

During the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the Company met with the third-party service organizations to discuss the reporting requirements. As management continues to evaluate and improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, the Company may decide to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify, or in appropriate circumstances not to complete, certain of the remediation measures identified.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Except as noted above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act), that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

A 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 a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. The Company conducts periodic evaluations of its internal controls to enhance, where necessary, its procedures and controls.
