SUMMARY

 

The following summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus and does not contain all the information you will need in making your investment decision. You should read carefully this entire prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus before making an investment decision, especially the information presented under the heading “Risk Factors.”

 

Business Summary

 

We provide unique consumer and physician platforms and strategies to help patients better afford and comply with their medicines and healthcare products, while offering pharmaceutical and healthcare companies more effective ways to expand physician and patient awareness, access and adherence to their medications and available product support.

 

Our core product offering is our SampleMD™ software application which delivers an automated system that replaces traditional physical drug samples by enabling doctors or other healthcare providers to automatically print and electronically distribute sample vouchers or co-pay discount coupons within their ePrescribing/ EHR (electronic health record) system or from their computer desktops. Through SampleMD, pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers have a digital paperless platform to directly offer patient's critical cost savings, patient education and adherence tools-- right at point of prescribing.

 

Our consumer support website, www.OPTIMIZERx.com and our subscriber base exceeding 2.5 million patients, continues to grow each month and we believe is quickly becoming the preferred way to access branded prescription vouchers, co-pay savings and other support programs.

 

The March 2014 Private Placement Financing and Exercise of Redemption Option

 

On March 17, 2014 (the “March 2014 Private Placement”), we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which we: (i) sold to the Purchasers an aggregate of 8,333,333 shares of our Common Stock at a price per share of $1.20 (the “Common Shares”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $10 million and (ii) issued warrants to purchase up to 804,139 shares of the our Common Stock to our placement agents (the “Agent Warrants”). Placement Agents also received commissions equal to approximately 9.7% of the gross proceeds, for an aggregate commission of approximately $970,000, including reimbursements for their reasonable out of pocket expenses.

 

We used the net proceeds of the March 2014 Private Placement to exercise the Securities Redemption Option Agreement, as amended, with Vicis Capital Master Fund (“Vicis”) that provides us with an option to purchase all of the outstanding shares and derivative securities held by Vicis for total payment of six million dollars ($6,000,000). The shares and derivative securities include 35 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, 30 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, 886,340 shares of common stock, and warrants to purchase 10,000,000 shares of common stock held by Vicis in our company. The balance of the net proceeds will be used for working capital purposes. 

 

In connection with the March 2014 Private Placement, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the Purchasers (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to register for resale the Common Shares acquired by the Purchasers (the “Registrable Securities”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the resale of the Registrable Securities within 30 days following the close of the March 2014 Private Placement and to use our reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than 90 days following the close of the March 2014 Private Placement (or 120 days following the close of the March 2014 Private Placement if the SEC determines to review the Registration Statement).

In the event the Registration Statement, among other things, (i) has not been filed by 30 days following the close of the March 2014 Private Placement, (ii) has not been declared effective by 90 days following the close of the Offering (or 120 days following the close of the Offering in the event the SEC determines to review the Registration Statement), or (iii) ceases to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities for more than 10 consecutive days or 15 days during any 12-month period, then we have agreed to make payments to each Purchaser as liquidated damages in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested by each such Purchaser per 30-day period, up to a maximum aggregate liquidated damages amount equal to 6% of the aggregate amount invested by each such Purchaser. In addition, we have agreed to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective until the earliest to occur of (i) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder have been sold and (ii) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

RISK FACTORS

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Risks Relating to Business and Financial Condition

 

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

 

Since the inception of our business we have historically incurred losses. We have only recently experienced profits and increased revenues. Our ability to maintain profitability depends on our ability to generate sales through our technology platform and advertising model while maintaining reasonable expense levels. If we do not achieve sustainable profitability, we may not be able to continue our operations.

 

Because we have recently learned that our financial statements have errors regarding revenue share expenses, our results of operations may be different than disclosed in our financial statements.

 

We recently announced a needed adjustment to the accounting policy so that revenue share expenses are properly accrued each quarter and at the end of the year, versus when they are paid. The method of recording revenue share payments previously aligned with our contractual terms with our platform partners -- which generally required payment 30 days after we received the fees from our sponsored manufacturers in the following quarter. Therefore, for year-end 2012 and each quarter of 2013, there will be a journal entry needed to record the revenue share amounts due on an accrual basis rather than recording these as an expense when they are paid. We have disclosed the restated numbers in our annual report on Form 10-K and will do so for subsequent filings. As such, the financial numbers will be adjusted in our ongoing SEC filings and the results of operations may differ from what we have disclosed.

 

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

 

Our success depends on the expertise and continued service of our Chief Executive Officer, David Harrell, our Chief Operating Officer, David Lester, and certain other key technical personnel. It may be difficult to find a sufficiently qualified individual to replace management or other key technical personnel in the event of death, disability or resignation, resulting in our being unable to implement our business plan and we having no operations or revenues.

 

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

Table of Contents

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

 

We currently work with many leading pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer, Lilly and Novartis. Our failure to retain existing customers or expand with additional customers could harmfully impact our business.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Attracting and retaining users of our portals requires us to continue to improve the technology underlying those portals and to continue to develop new and updated applications, features and services for those portals. If we are unable to do so on a timely basis or if we are unable to implement new applications, features and services without disruption to our existing ones, we may lose potential users and clients.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

•  Our portals face competition from numerous other companies, both in attracting users and in generating revenue from advertisers and sponsors. We compete for users with online services and Web sites that provide savings on medications and healthcare products, including both commercial sites and not-for-profit sites. We compete for advertisers and sponsors with: health-related web sites; general purpose consumer web sites that offer specialized health sub-channels; other high-traffic web sites that include both healthcare-related and non-healthcare-related content and services; search engines that provide specialized health search; and advertising networks that aggregate traffic from multiple sites.
•  Our healthcare provider portals compete with: providers of healthcare decision-support tools and online health management applications; wellness and disease management vendors; and health information services and health management offerings of healthcare benefits companies and their affiliates.

 

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

Developments in the healthcare industry could adversely affect our business

 

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

 

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

 

•  government regulation or private initiatives that affect the manner in which healthcare providers interact with patients, payers or other healthcare industry participants, including changes in pricing or means of delivery of healthcare products and services;
•  consolidation of healthcare industry participants;
•  reductions in governmental funding for healthcare; and
•  adverse changes in business or economic conditions affecting healthcare payers or providers, pharmaceutical, biotechnology or medical device companies or other healthcare industry participants.

 

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

 

•  changes in the design of health insurance plans;
•  a decrease in the number of new drugs or medical devices coming to market; and
•  decreases in marketing expenditures by pharmaceutical or medical device companies, including as a result of governmental regulation or private initiatives that discourage or prohibit advertising or sponsorship activities by pharmaceutical or medical device companies.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

We are involved in the following lawsuits.

 

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, and the matter is currently being litigated in federal court in Detroit, Michigan.

Table of Contents

 

We recently learned of an action in New Jersey brought by Milton J. Wilson and the Milton Wilson 2000 Trust. Last November 2013, we were served notice that we would be added as an additional party to the case titled Milton Wilson et al. v. Continental Capital Corporation, C-289-06, in the Superior Court of New Jersey. There is an existing default judgment of roughly $1,000,000 in the case. The Court denied plaintiffs’ request to add us a party to the caption, but allowed plaintiffs to file a motion to add us as a party, which was subsequently granted.

 

In their complaint, Plaintiffs’ underlying claim alleged that a predecessor of ours, Continental Capital, breached a settlement agreement it entered into with plaintiffs in 2001. We have filed an answer effectively denying the allegations in the complaint against us. Because the settlement agreement had an arbitration clause, we claimed that the lawsuit was improper. We also claimed that service was not perfected against other parties so the default judgment is void. We filed counterclaims against plaintiffs and third-party claims against persons related to plaintiffs. In these claims we allege that plaintiffs and others owned and controlled Continental Capital and wrongfully caused Continental Capital to enter the settlement agreement for no bona fide corporate purpose. To the extent, if any, that we may be liable on the default judgment, therefore, we claim that we should be indemnified by plaintiffs and others.

 

These lawsuits are ongoing, uncertain and involve a substantial degree of risk. If we are unable to successfully defend these actions, our financial condition and results of operations will suffer.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

Risks Relating to Our Securities

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Because we will be subject to the “Penny Stock” rules once our shares are quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board, the level of trading activity in our stock may be reduced.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

If any Agent Warrants are exercised on a cashless basis, we would not receive any cash payment from such Selling Shareholders upon any exercise of such Agent Warrants.

 

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

 

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

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

 

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

 

We have prepared this prospectus to allow the Selling Shareholders or their successors, assignees or other permitted transferees to sell or otherwise dispose of, from time to time, up to 9,137,472 shares of our Common Stock. Of the shares of common stock being offered under this prospectus 8,333,333 were acquired by the purchasers in our March 2014 Private Placement and 804,139 shares are able to be acquired pursuant to the Agent Warrants we issued in connection with our March 2014 Private Placement, which Agent Warrants are currently exercisable.

 

The shares of common stock sold to the Selling Shareholders in the March 2014 Private Placement were sold pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. In connection therewith, the investors made to us certain representations, warranties, covenants, and conditions customary for private placement investments.

 

The table below presents information regarding the Selling Shareholders and the shares of our Common Stock that they may sell or otherwise dispose of from time to time under this prospectus. Percentages of beneficial ownership are based upon 23,412,113 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of May 20, 2014. Beneficial ownership is determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities and including any securities that grant the Selling Shareholders the right to acquire Common Stock within 60 days of May 20, 2014. Unless otherwise noted, each person or group identified possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares, subject to community property laws where applicable.

 

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

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are registering the shares of Common Stock to permit the resale of these shares of Common Stock by the Selling Shareholders and any of their transferees, pledgees, assignees, donees, and successors-in-interest from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the Selling Shareholders of the shares of Common Stock. Upon any exercise of the Agent Warrants by payment of cash, however, we will receive the exercise price of the Agent Warrants. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of Common Stock.

 

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

 

§ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
§block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
§purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
§an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
§privately negotiated transactions;
§settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
§in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Shareholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;
§through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
§a combination of any such methods of sale; or
§any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

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

 

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

 

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

Table of Contents

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

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 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.

 

We recently learned of an action in New Jersey brought by Milton J. Wilson and the Milton Wilson 2000 Trust. Last November 2013, we were served notice that we would be added as an additional party to the case titled Milton Wilson et al. v. Continental Capital Corporation, C-289-06, in the Superior Court of New Jersey. There is an existing default judgment of roughly $1,000,000 in the case. The Court denied plaintiffs’ request to add us a party to the caption, but allowed plaintiffs to file a motion to add us as a party, which was subsequently granted.

 

In their complaint, Plaintiffs’ underlying claim alleged that a predecessor of ours, Continental Capital, breached a settlement agreement it entered into with plaintiffs in 2001. We have filed an answer effectively denying the allegations in the complaint against us. Because the settlement agreement had an arbitration clause, we claimed that the lawsuit was improper. We also claimed that service was not perfected against other parties so the default judgment is void. We filed counterclaims against plaintiffs and third-party claims against persons related to plaintiffs. In these claims we allege that plaintiffs and others owned and controlled Continental Capital and wrongfully caused Continental Capital to enter the settlement agreement for no bona fide corporate purpose. To the extent, if any, that we may be liable on the default judgment, therefore, we claim that we should be indemnified by plaintiffs and others.

Common Stock

 

Our common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Except as otherwise required by law or provided in any resolution adopted by our board of directors with respect to any series of preferred stock, the holders of our common stock will possess all voting power. Generally, all matters to be voted on by stockholders must be approved by a majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a plurality) of the votes entitled to be cast by all shares of our common stock that are present in person or represented by proxy, subject to any voting rights granted to holders of any preferred stock. Holders of our common stock representing fifty percent (50%) of our capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of our stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation. Our Articles of Incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.

 

Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding series of preferred stock created by our board of directors from time to time, the holders of shares of our common stock will be entitled to such cash dividends as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors from funds available therefore.

 

Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding series of preferred stock created from time to time by our board of directors, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of shares of our common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata all assets available for distribution to such holders.

 

In the event of any merger or consolidation with or into another company in connection with which shares of our common stock are converted into or exchangeable for shares of stock, other securities or property (including cash), all holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive the same kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash). Holders of our common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.

 

Preferred Stock

 

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

 

  (1) The number of shares constituting that series and the distinctive designation of that series, which may be by distinguishing number, letter or title;

 

  (2) The dividend rate on the shares of that series, whether dividends will be cumulative, and if so, from which date(s), and the relative rights of priority, if any, of payment of dividends on shares of that series;

 

  (3) Whether that series will have voting rights, in addition to the voting rights provided by law, and, if so, the terms of such voting rights;

 

  (4) Whether that series will have conversion privileges, and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion, including provision for adjustment of the conversion rate in such events as the Board of Directors determines;

 

  (5) Whether or not the shares of that series will be redeemable, and, if so, the terms and conditions of such redemption, including the date or date upon or after which they are redeemable, and the amount per share payable in case of redemption, which amount may vary under different conditions and at different redemption dates;

 

  (6) Whether that series will have a sinking fund for the redemption or purchase of shares of that series, and, if so, the terms and amount of such sinking fund;

 

  (7) The rights of the shares of that series in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, and the relative rights of priority, if any, of payment of shares of that series; and

 

  (8) Any other relative rights, preferences and limitations of that series.

Registration Rights

 

In connection with the March 2014 Private Placement, we entered into a registration rights agreement with each of the Selling Shareholders (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The Registration Rights Agreement requires us to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within forty-five (45) days of the closing date of the March 2014 Private Placement (the “Filing Date”) for the resale by the Selling Shareholders of all of the Common Shares acquired in the March 2014 Private Placement and all shares of Common Stock issuable upon any stock split, dividend or other distribution, recapitalization or similar event with respect thereto (the “Registrable Securities”). We agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC no later than ninety (90) days after the closing date of the March 2014 Private Placement (the “Effectiveness Date”) subject to certain adjustments. Upon the occurrence of certain events (each an “Event”), including, but not limited to, that the Registration Statement is not filed prior to the Filing Date, we will be required to pay liquidated damages to each of the Selling Shareholders equal to 1.5% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Selling Shareholders for the Registrable Securities upon the date of the Event and then monthly thereafter until the earlier of: (i) the Event is cured, or (ii) the registrable shares are eligible for resale under Rule 144 without manner of sale or volume limitations. In no event shall the aggregate amount of liquidated damages payable to each of the Selling Shareholders exceed in the aggregate 10% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Selling Shareholders for the Registrable Securities.

 

We also agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective for resales until the earlier of (1) one year from the closing date (2) the date that all of the shares of our common stock included in the Registration Statement have been resold thereunder or under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, or (3) the date that all of the shares of our common stock covered by such registration statement may be sold without volume or manner of sale restrictions under Rule 144. The registration rights agreement contains cross-indemnification provisions between us and the Selling Shareholders.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Dividend Policy

 

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

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions

 

Nevada Anti-Takeover Laws

 

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

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES.

 

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

 

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Company Overview

 

Company Highlights within 1st quarter 2014

 

1)We acquired $10 million dollars in new capital to exercise the negotiated buyout of Vicis, which netted out an additional $3 million dollars to us, and a reduction of approximately 7 million in fully diluted shares.
2)We nearly doubled our sales over 1Q 2013 and net cash provided by operating activities was a positive $226,727.
3)We settled a lawsuit with LDM to enable promotional access to over 100,000 new healthcare providers.
4)We launched VoucherDVM and engaged leading platforms to offer automated vet product savings.
5)We completed and launched the SampleMD 2.0 technology platform to support growth.
6)We proved an outstanding Return on Investment associated with our pharmaceutical promotions through an independent analytics firm.
7)We sponsored and key noted the first CBInet Pharmaceutical EHR conference.
8)We initiated direct recruitment of a new CFO which resulted in the hiring of a highly experienced financial executive. We also recruited the former global marketing director from AstraZeneca to lead sales on the east coast.

 

We finished the first quarter with revenues of $1,317,347, an increase of 97% over the same period 2013 generating positive net cash of $226,727 from operational activities. However, we had a net loss of $653,315 for the first quarter primarily due to two factors:

 

1)A one-time settlement to LDM, which resolved all patent issues and enables us to promote our eCoupons to their network of up to 100,000 healthcare providers, as well as receive additional revenue share through promotion of their sponsored patient education within OptimizeRx’s network.

 

2)A non cash payment of stock to vendors, former executive and employees.

 

Moving forward, we expect growing profitability for the remainder of 2014 based primarily on escalation of revenues. Despite nearly doubling our sales over 1Q 2013, which is generally a slower sales quarter based on finalizing budgets and receiving new annual assets, 1Q 2014 revenues would have been higher based on two important factors:

 

1)Allscripts had privacy and technical issues that affected their distribution of eCoupons and other programs during a significant period of time it took to fully resolve them.

 

2)One of our largest clients interrupted their program to determine promotional impact and ROI.

 

Both of the above have been resolved. Allscripts has resolved their technical and privacy issues, and is now beginning to roll out activation of SampleMD eCoupon automation unless providers “opt-out.” We anticipate this to have a significant impact on June sales and beyond once this is completed by increasing our reach to another 20,000 physicians.

 

Novartis’ Alcon has re-activated their program based on confirming through an independent auditing firm an outstanding ROI on SampleMD’s eCoupon promotion. Furthermore, this data was highlighted by Novartis during our corporate sponsorship of the inaugural CBInet Pharmaceutical EHR conference focused on leveraging opportunities for promotional effectiveness and brand awareness. The conference was attended by over 150 pharmaceutical brand and marketing executives and highlighted industry luminaries, panel discussions and client presentations. David Harrell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer was a noted Keynote speaker, and many clients and partners cited unsolicited testimonials at the successes they have experienced engaging with us. We will be the lead sponsor for a similar conference in October as requested by many of the pharmaceutical client and partners we engage.

 

These marketing efforts, along with our expert support team and proven reputation, has enabled us to acquire more manufacturers and brands—including Baush & Lomb and AstraZeneca’s promoted portfolio of leading drugs like Crestor, Seroquel and others. AstraZeneca represents a very important win strategically, too, based on the fact that they were previously utilizing a competitive platform.

Our success of acquiring, integrating and expanding into other promotional EHR/eRx platforms continues to grow as well. We are just launching our first initial brands into eHealthline, as well as will be completing our integration into LDMs network and others.

 

We also expect to launch our patient savings and support within Quest Care360 by end of June 2014. Quest Diagnostics is the world’s leading provider of diagnostic information servicing approximately half of the physicians and hospitals in the U.S. and touches the lives of approximately 30% of American adults a year.

 

We are in very productive discussions with other leading EHRs and expect our active network to nearly double by end of year.

 

With the growth of both our pharmaceutical products and our distribution network, we remain confident that our distributions will double over last year.

 

To support this growth, we have completed the development and migration of SampleMD 2.0’s on-demand, rule based content delivery platform. The system can now manage up to 1 million rules and return the appropriate content within under 1 second. This allows unsurpassed response time to avoid delays, and the ability to meet the upcoming dramatic scale we expect.

 

On top of building out our updated software solution, we also updated our infrastructure by replacing and updating our computers in a high availability environment, taking greater precautions for security and building out the architecture to facilitate disaster recovery with a secondary facilitated computer environment. We believe this technology investment will increase performance, simplify integrations, insure availability and protect the investments of our shareholders.

 

Other Key Quarterly Events

 

During the first quarter we also successfully completed a $10 million capital raise and exercised the option to redeem Vicis Capital Master Fund’s holdings in our company. By successfully executing these initiatives we reduced fully diluted shares by approximately 7 million and provided an additional $3 Million in working capital to support the company's growth and eliminated dividend payments and other favorable provisions of Vicis preferred stock.

 

Additionally, after extensive negotiations, OPTIMIZERx and LDM executed a settlement agreement and filed a stipulation to dismiss the litigation with prejudice on March 17, 2014, which the District Court entered on March 19, 2014. This resolves all patent issues and enables us to promote our eCoupons to their network of up to 100,000 healthcare providers, as well as receive additional revenue share through promotion of their sponsored patient education within our network.

 

New Chief Financial Officer

 

Also Mr. Douglas P. Baker is joining the organization as its Chief Financial Officer. Doug brings with him over 23 years of public company experience and joins OPTIMIZERx after serving the last 18 years as CFO and Board Director for a publicly traded technology company in the nanotechnology field. Prior to that, Doug held CFO and Divisional Controller positions at large privately held companies after serving nearly 10 years as a CPA with Plante & Moran.

 

Doug holds a Bachelors and Masters of Business Administration from the University of Michigan, has been a Certified Public Accountant since 1980, is a member of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants, member of the Michigan Association of Certified Public Accountants and has served on the Board of Directors of Total Health Care, Inc., a nonprofit health maintenance organization since 1987.

 

Summary

 

Management remains very excited about our core e-coupon business based on our proven impact and platform partnerships continuing to expand. We are also pleased with our current discussions and recognized value from leading veterinary platform providers whom are interested in partnering to deliver similar automated savings to animal owners—while allowing veterinarian’s to remain competitive in their pharmacy business. We are also exploring other new channels to automate savings which hold high promise and rapid growth.

 

We expect very significant ramp up the second half of the year as we fully roll out our new channels to expand our promotional reach.

 

Principal Products and Applications

 

Our principal products and applications can be summarized as follows:

 

  § SampleMD - Today, almost 60% of doctors’ offices ban or limit drug representatives and the samples they offer. Although samples are still valuable, many healthcare systems and doctors are looking for an easier, more effective way to increase affordable access and adherence to their prescribed branded medications which led us during the past year to develop our direct to physician solution called SampleMD.

 

  § SampleMD is a revolutionary virtual "Patient Support Center" that allows doctors and staff to access a universe of sample vouchers, co-pay coupons and other patient support through their EMR and/or e-Prescribe systems to search, print or electronically dispense directly to patients and a national network of pharmacies. SampleMD eliminates the need for physicians to manage and store physical drug samples by offering a more convenient and efficient way to allocate, administer and track samples and co-pay savings provided to their patients.

  § OPTIMIZEHR – Our consulting practice focused at educating and working with pharmaceutical manufacturers on identifying, formulating, and implementing new eRx media strategies for promoting their product. Our consulting services include 1) Drug File Integration - a service to insure that the manufacturers drug is present in every ePrescribing platform available, 2) Sales Force Training – a service to educate the extended field sales force on this new integrated solution and what to look for within their client base to insure maximum exposure of their bands and 3) Strategy Development – a service that assists manufactures in identifying and building a competitive strategy to take advantage of this new digital frontier.

 

  § OPTIMIZERx.com – Our Direct to Consumer WebSite is a portal to healthcare savings for patients to centrally review and participate in prescription and healthcare savings and support programs. To date, we have over 2.4 million members who have registered. We strive to provide all the information and guidance that patients undergoing long-term pharmaceutical treatments may require. Patients can search by their medication or their condition in order to access educational information regarding their condition, information regarding their medication, coupons for instant savings when they purchase their medications, information on free drug trials, and guidance to any other savings programs available to them.

Marketing and Sales

 

We continue to extend our marketing efforts to build both brand and capabilities awareness to the market. As mentioned above, we continue to actively participate in industry and partner events such as exlPharma and the ACE – Allscripts Users Conference as well as taking a lead sponsor position in the inaugural CBInet eRx and EHR conference in March of 2014. During the course of the year, we also initiated and delivered successful email marketing campaigns, webinar with CMI Compass on What Physicians want within their HER’s, as well as successful public relations and press release communications initiatives. We ran advertising campaigns through Pharma Exec magazine that netted several responses and qualified leads.

 

In 2013, we also announced our strategic partnership with WPP/Grey Health Group, a leading agency within the healthcare marketplace. We plan to continue to increase our marketing efforts with all of our strategic partners, as we intend to continue to promote OPTIMIZERx and SampleMD primarily through the following:

 

  § Industry and Partner Events;

  § Email Campaigns;

  § Internet Marketing;

  § Public Relations Campaigns;

  § Physician Offices;

  § Direct to Consumer Marketing;

  § Trade Media  Advertising;

  § Pharmacy Partners;

  § Physician Organizations and Associations; and

  § Strategic Relationships

 

Additionally, we have attracted and hired a highly seasoned Sales and Marketing Executive who has decades of global pharmaceutical marketing and sales experience at AstraZeneca and others as our Eastern Vice President of Sales.

 

Research and Development

 

We continue to invest in our technology and plan to release SampleMD 2.0 in 2014. This new and improved release will enhance the performance of our first version through quicker response times, easier integration to platform partners, modularity for the addition of new features and functions and an entirely updated user interface to speed and enhance the setup of new programs and campaigns. We will continue to offer reporting portal access to our clients with a new and improved user interface and updated reporting capabilities for monitoring program and campaign performance.

 

The SampleMD 2.0 release will also be supported by a new and updated infrastructure that is a high availability clustered environment with remote disaster recovery enabling us to be back up and running from the worst facility catastrophe in very short order.

We continue our commitment to educate both our direct and our extended teams through an understanding of all market dynamics that have the potential to affect our business in both the short and long term. Our primary goal is to help patients better afford and access the medicines their doctors prescribe, as well as other healthcare products and services they need. Based on this goal, we continually seek better ways to meet this mission through the use of improved technology, user feedback, and working closely with the pharmaceutical industry. We are continually seeking new ways we can engage the pharmaceutical industry to provide new support programs to patients in need of their products.

At OPTIMIZERx, we are still keen on the opinions and input that we gain from all stakeholders by which our products and solutions cross. From the prescribing clinicians that utilize our solutions to add value to the patients they serve, to the partners we use to leverage their channels for distribution and promotion of the services, we are able to greatly assist the pharmaceutical manufacturing clients that depend on our solutions to increase their brand awareness and assist patients in need of their offerings. This “Voice of the Stakeholder” is a mantra that we leverage in analyzing industry trends and market shifts and identifying enhancements and new offerings through our SampleMD™ solution. This effort involves all of our officers and directors as part of our continual research development team while monitoring new technologies, trends, services, and partnerships that can help us provide additional services and increased value to the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries and to the patients they serve.

 

Our technology roadmap for potential new solutions continues to grow as we continued to finalize the two development programs initiated this year featuring a live chat or conversation between the health provider and product manufacturer or service, as well as a one click way to request a representative visit. These solutions address major access barriers that limit doctors’ interaction with the manufacturer and allow the health system or provider to access needed information when they want it. As we are in collaboration with our partners, further content and information delivery solutions are being flushed out as we continue to integrate with new channels and partners

 

Under the leadership of the Director of Technology and Director of Software Development, whom were added late in 2011 to strengthen our core technical team, we have added an additional developer and a technical intern while leveraging a new development partner in Simple eSolutions, whom provided valuable architecture, system design and database management support on the SampleMD 2.0 effort. We also continued to work with the Engineering and Information Technology department of Oakland University in Rochester Michigan. As the University has opened the doors of its new medical school, it also brings highly skilled technology and application developers whom possess a solid knowledge of medical industry IT requirements.

 

Competition

 

SampleMD has faced some competition based on the growth in the space primarily by Physicians Interactive. As noted, we have filed a patent infringement suit against the company.

 

The OptimizeRx.com website continues to compete in the highly competitive pharmaceutical and healthcare advertising industry that is dominated by large well-known companies with established names, solid market niches, wide arrays of product offerings and marketing networks.  Our largest competitors include a variety of healthcare website publishers and networks that provide online advertising competition to OPTIMIZERx.com, including Quality Health, WebMD, McKesson, and Drugs.com.

 

Despite these competitors, we do not have major competition in our space of the market. We have been experiencing a growing list of potential partners whom either have content that want to deliver through the SampleMD engine and network, or whom have complementary technology and want to integrate our solution as a channel partner, expanding the reach to clinicians for OPTIMIZERx.

 

Intellectual Property

 

In the fourth quarter of 2012, we were awarded a patent for our innovative SampleMD solution (US Patent No. 8,341,015). This award highlighted our continued research and development efforts. The awarded claims cover our ability to electronically process, display and distribute eligible prescription savings on the medications and therapies healthcare providers wish to prescribe for their patients. We have also recently submitted and will be preparing additional filings to protect our intellectual property on forthcoming solutions that will further assist and support physicians, pharmacists and patients.

 

In addition, we have hired Harness, Dickey & Pierce, a nationally ranked IP firm, to further expand and protect our intellectual property. Through them, we have filed two additional patents on our technology. We also used the firm to file a patent infringement lawsuit against Physicians Interactive. Management believes the current and expanding IP will allow us to continue being the leader in this rapidly growing space.

OPTIMIZERx is a licensed trademark. SampleMD is a licensed trademark.

 

Our intellectual property is developed significantly each month.  Since inception, we have developed and launched OFFERx and ADHERxE, and we are further integrating these platforms to provide more robust offerings.  OPTIMIZERx.com and OFFERx are patent pending.

Government Regulation

 

Fraud and Abuse Laws

 

Anti-Kickback Statutes

 

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

 

False Claims Laws

 

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

 

Privacy and Security

  

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

We believe that our properties are adequate for our current needs, but growth potential may require larger facilities due to anticipated addition of personnel. We do not have any policies regarding investments in real estate, securities or other forms of property.

 

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

  

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

 

Revenues

 

Our total revenue reported for Q1 2014 was $1,317,347, an increase of $648,057 or 97% from Q1 2013.

 

Our increased revenue for Q1 2014 as compared with Q1 2013 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. The bulk of our revenue for Q1 2014 came mainly from our core SampleMD solutions as opposed to our new consulting business. We expect revenues to increase on our consulting business for the rest of 2014.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses increased to $1,471,958 for Q1 2014 from $733,969 for Q1 2013. Our major expenses for Q1 2014 were stock-based compensation of $421,577, a settlement expense with LDM for $400,000, salaries, wages and benefits of $349,096, professional fees of $92,553, general and administrative expenses of $89,264 and depreciation and amortization of $58,906. In comparison, our major expenses for Q1 2013 were salaries, wages and benefits of $375,071, general and administrative expenses of $218,794, professional fees of $53,098, depreciation and amortization of $48,111, and consulting fees of $20,407.

 

Our expenses increased in Q1 2014 as compared with Q1 2013 largely as a result of stock based compensation of $421,577 and a one-time settlement expenses of $400,000.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss for Q1 2014 was $653,315, compared to net loss of $224,438, for Q1 2013.

 

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012

 

Revenues

 

Our total revenue reported for year ended December 31, 2013 was $4,957,016, an increase from $1,989,086 from the prior year.

 

Our increased revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared with the prior year 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. The bulk of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 came mainly from our core SampleMD solutions as opposed to our new consulting business. We expect revenues to increase on our consulting business for 2014. 

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses increased to $2,973,990 for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $2,328,648 for the year ended December 31, 2012. Our major expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 were salaries, wages and benefits of $1,319,712, professional fees of $552,824, stock-based compensation of $411,412, general and administrative expenses of $288,297, depreciation and amortization of $193,971, and consulting fees of $100,077. Our expenses increased in 2013 as compared with 2012 largely as a result of salaries, wages and benefits, professional fees and stock-based compensation.

 

We expect operating expenses to increase slightly, with the most increase coming as we will continue to add personnel to strengthen our operations, sales and marketing efforts going forward.

 

Net Loss

 

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $215,847, compared to net loss of $ $454,553 for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

We believe that our company is starting to show real signs of improvement with positive income this year. With increased sales forecasted for next year, we believe that we will achieve a small improvement to net income in 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2014, we had total current assets of $5,153,914 and total assets in the amount of $6,515,322. Our total current liabilities as of March 31, 2014 were $1,912,659. We had working capital of $3,241,255 as of March 31, 2014.

 

Operating activities provided $226,727 in cash for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Our decrease in accounts receivable of $455,585, stock-based compensation of $421,577, an increase in revenue share payable of $395,935, and an increase in deferred revenue of $164,462 were the primary components of our positive operating cash flow, offset mainly by our net loss of $653,315 and a decrease in accrued expenses of $134,042.

 

Investing activities used $109,272 during the three months ended March 31, 2014 largely as a result of patent rights and website development costs.

 

Financing activities provided $2,795,032 during the three months ended March 31, 2104. On March 17, 2014, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with accredited investors pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 8,333,333 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, for $1.20 per share, or gross proceeds of $10,000,000. We used $6,000,000 of the proceeds to exercise our option to redeem Vicis Capital Master Fund’s holdings in our company. The balance of the proceeds will be used for working capital. With the financing and cash on hand, we have sufficient cash to operate our business for the next twelve months.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2014, 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

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

 

Other than the transactions described below and under the heading “Executive Compensation” (or with respect to which such information is omitted in accordance with SEC regulations), since January 1, 2013 there have not been, and there is not currently proposed, any transaction or series of similar transactions to which we were or will be a participant in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any director, executive officer, holder of 5% or more of any class of our capital stock or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

 

On March 17, 2014, we raised gross proceeds of $10,000,000 in the March 2014 Private Placement with certain accredited investors. We used a portion of the net proceeds to exercise the Securities Redemption Option Agreement, as amended, with Vicis Capital Master Fund (“Vicis”) that provides us with an option to purchase all of the outstanding shares and derivative securities held by Vicis for total payment of six million dollars ($6,000,000). The shares and derivative securities include 35 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, 30 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, 886,340 shares of common stock, and warrants to purchase 10,000,000 shares of common stock held by Vicis in our company.

 

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

Market Information

 

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

 

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

Penny Stock

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Holders of Our Common Stock

 

As of May 20, 2014, we had 23,412,113 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by 316 shareholders of record. 

 

Dividends

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

1. We would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or
2. Our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities, plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we issued 10,000 stock options to a non-employee at exercise price of $1.85.

 

On March 17, 2014, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with accredited investors, pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 8,333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, for $1.20 per Share, or gross proceeds of $10,000,000. We issued warrants to purchase 804,139 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $1.20 per share and a term of 5 years to placement agents in the raise.

 

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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2014

 

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 (CONTINUED)

 

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.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are reported at realizable value, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, which is estimated and recorded in the period the related revenue is recorded. The Company has a standardized approach to estimate and review the collectability of its receivables based on a number of factors, including the period they have been outstanding. Historical collection and payer reimbursement experience is an integral part of the estimation process related to allowances for doubtful accounts. In addition, the Company regularly assesses the state of its billing operations in order to identify issues, which may impact the collectability of these receivables or reserve estimates. Bad debt expense was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

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 and Revenue Share Expense

All revenue is recognized when it is earned. Revenues are generated either through the Company’s web-based activities, in which we earn revenue from advertising and lead generation activities, from our SampleMD activities by which we deliver eCoupons and eVouchers through a distribution network of ePrescribers and Electronic Health Record technology providers (channel partners), or from reselling services for other of our partners products that complement our business.

 

For our SampleMD business the company recognizes setup fees that are required for integrating client offerings and campaigns into the SampleMD content delivery system and network. Setup fees are recognized upon completion of the setup and launch of the client’s campaign within the SampleMD system. As the eCoupons and or eVouchers are distributed through the SampleMD platform and network of channel partners (a transaction), these transactions are recorded and revenue is recognized. Revenue for transactions can be realized as cost per distribution or cost per redemption depending on the client contract. Additionally, the company also recognizes revenue for providing program performance reporting and maintenance, either by the company directly delivering reports or by providing access to its online reporting portal that the client can utilize. These fees are administered monthly and recognized as recurring monthly revenue.

 

The company on occasion has also resold products and or services that are available through our channel partners, and that is complementary to our core businesses and client base. In these events net revenue is recognized as this is a commission based revenue split that the company recognizes.

 

Based on the volume of transactions that are delivered through our channel partner network, we provide a revenue share to compensate the partner for their promotion of the campaign through their network. Revenue shares are a negotiated percentage of the transaction fee depending upon if the revenue is generated through distributions and or redemptions and can also be specific to special considerations and campaigns. Traditionally, revenue share has been recognized between 25% and 50% of the transaction value.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Concentration of Credit Risks

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

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Research and Development

The Company’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.

 

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 months ended March 31, 2014. They have not been included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the year ended December 31, 2013 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.

NOTE 15 – INCOME TAXES

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company incurred net loss of approximately $653,000 and therefore has no tax liability. The Company began operations in 2007 and has previous net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $13,718,000 through December 31, 2013. The cumulative loss of approximately $14,371,000 will be carried forward and can be used through the year 2033 to offset future taxable income. In the future, the cumulative net operating loss carry-forward for income tax purposes may differ from the cumulative financial statement loss due to timing differences between book and tax reporting.

 

The provision for Federal income tax consists of the following for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

 

  2014  2013
Federal income tax benefit attributable to:         
  Current operations $222,000   $36,000 
  Valuation allowance  (222,000)   (36,000)
      Net provision for federal income tax $0   $0 

 

The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 34% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

 

  2014  2013
Deferred tax asset attributable to:         
  Net operating loss carryover $4,996,000   $4,774,000 
  Valuation allowance  (4,996,000)   (4,774,000)
      Net deferred tax asset $0   $0 

 

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $14,371,000 for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.

 

NOTE 16 – OPERATING EXPENSES

 

Operating expenses consisted of the following for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively:

 

  Three months ended March 31,

NOTE 17 – RESTATEMENT

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Company corrected an accounting error related to revenue share expenses. The Company will accrue the expense for amounts due, versus when they are paid, for proper matching. The revenue share expense will now reflect the expense associated with the revenue from that particular quarter and year end. The Company will restate quarters 1 - 3 of 2013 as the 2014 quarterly statements are prepared. The full impact of the restatement is reflected in the December 31, 2013 balance sheet.

 

The restated Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 is as follows:

 

Three months ended March 31, 2013      
Financial Statement  Line Item   Corrected    Previously Stated 
Income statement  Revenue share expense  $159,815   $40,203

NOTE 18 – LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT

 

On November 5, 2012, LDM Group, LLC (“LDM”) commenced an action against the Company in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, Eastern Division. The complaint alleged that OptimizeRx infringed on a patent issued on February 21, 2012 in favor of LDM. LDM alleged 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, the Company’s Integrated SampleMD uses systems and methods that perform the elements of the LDM patent and, therefore, infringes on its patent.  On February 25, 2013, a Settlement and Patent License Agreement was reached with LDM, and LDM subsequently dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice.  On April 23, 2013, however, LDM reinstituted the patent infringement action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, Eastern Division claiming that OptimizeRx breached the Settlement and Patent License Agreement. The Company continued to vigorously defend the OptimizeRx technology, preparing for litigation, depositions and patent protection while also positioning for legal actions against LDM. On February 28, 2014, a Settlement Agreement was reached with LDM, and the judge dismissed the case with prejudice on March 18, 2014. Per the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company paid a one-time fee of $400,000 and will pay LDM the greater of $0.37 per patient discount distributed by OptimizeRx or 10% of the total revenue earned by OptimizeRx for distribution and redemption of all patent discounts. This amount was included in operating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

 

NOTE 19 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On May 12, 2014, the Company hired a new CFO. Per the terms of the employment agreement, the CFO will earn a salary of $125,000 per year and was granted 100,000 stock options as a signing bonus.

 

In accordance with ASC 855-10, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to March 31, 2014 through the date these financial statements were issued and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements other than the events described above.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors

OptimizeRx Corporation

Rochester, Michigan

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of OptimizeRx Corporation as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

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

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of OptimizeRx Corporation, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 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 (CONTINUED)

 

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.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are reported at realizable value, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, which is estimated and recorded in the period the related revenue is recorded. The Company has a standardized approach to estimate and review the collectability of its receivables based on a number of factors, including the period they have been outstanding. Historical collection and payer reimbursement experience is an integral part of the estimation process related to allowances for doubtful accounts. In addition, the Company regularly assesses the state of its billing operations in order to identify issues, which may impact the collectability of these receivables or reserve estimates. Bad debt expense was $0 and $6,923 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

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 and Revenue Share Expense

All revenue is recognized when it is earned. Revenues are generated either through the Company’s web-based activities, in which we earn revenue from advertising and lead generation activities, from our SampleMD activities by which we deliver eCoupons and eVouchers through a distribution network of ePrescribers and Electronic Health Record technology providers (channel partners), or from reselling services for other of our partners products that complement our business.

 

For our SampleMD business the company recognizes setup fees that are required for integrating client offerings and campaigns into the SampleMD content delivery system and network. Setup fees are recognized upon completion of the setup and launch of the client’s campaign within the SampleMD system. As the eCoupons and or eVouchers are distributed through the SampleMD platform and network of channel partners (a transaction), these transactions are recorded and revenue is recognized. Revenue for transactions can be realized as cost per distribution or cost per redemption depending on the client contract. Additionally, the company also recognizes revenue for providing program performance reporting and maintenance, either by the company directly delivering reports or by providing access to its online reporting portal that the client can utilize. These fees are administered monthly and recognized as recurring monthly revenue.

 

The company on occasion has also resold products and or services that are available through our channel partners, and that is complementary to our core businesses and client base. In these events net revenue is recognized as this is a commission based revenue split that the company recognizes.

 

Based on the volume of transactions that are delivered through our channel partner network, we provide a revenue share to compensate the partner for their promotion of the campaign. Revenue shares are a negotiated percentage of the transaction fee depending upon if the revenue is generated through distributions and or redemptions and can also be specific to special considerations and campaigns. Traditionally, revenue share has been recognized between 25% and 50% of the transaction value. See Note 18.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Concentration of Credit Risks

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

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Research and Development

The Company’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.

 

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 diluted earnings per share calculation for the year ended December 31, 2013. They have not been included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the year ended December 31, 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 Company had two major customers that accounted for 58% and two major customers that accounted for 52% of the Company’s revenues for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company expects to continue to maintain these relationships with the customers.

 

NOTE 15 – INCOME TAXES

 

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company incurred net income of approximately $216,000 but has no tax liability. The Company began operations in 2007 and has previous net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $13,934,000 through December 31, 2012. The cumulative loss of approximately $13,718,000 will be carried forward and can be used through the year 2033 to offset future taxable income. In the future, the cumulative net operating loss carry-forward for income tax purposes may differ from the cumulative financial statement loss due to timing differences between book and tax reporting.

 

The provision for Federal income tax consists of the following for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

 

   2013  2012
Federal income tax (expense) benefit attributable to:          
  Current operations  $(73,000)  $155,000 
  Valuation allowance   73,000    (155,000)
      Net provision for federal income tax  $0   $0 

 

The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 34% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows as of December 31, 2013 and 2012:

 

   2013  2012
Deferred tax asset attributable to:          
  Net operating loss carryover  $4,665,000   $4,738,000 
  Valuation allowance   (4,665,000)   (4,738,000)
      Net deferred tax asset  $0   $0 

 

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $13,718,000 for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.

 

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.

On November 5, 2012, LDM Group, LLC (“LDM”) commenced an action against the Company in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, Eastern Division. The complaint alleged that OptimizeRx infringed on a patent issued on February 21, 2012 in favor of LDM. LDM alleged 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, the Company’s Integrated SampleMD uses systems and methods that perform the elements of the LDM patent and, therefore, infringes on its patent.  On February 25, 2013, a Settlement and Patent License Agreement was reached with LDM, and LDM subsequently dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice.  On April 23, 2013, however, LDM reinstituted the patent infringement action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, Eastern Division claiming that OptimizeRx breached the Settlement and Patent License Agreement. The Company continued to vigorously defend the OptimizeRx technology, preparing for litigation, depositions and patent protection while also positioning for legal actions against LDM. On February 28, 2014, a Settlement Agreement was reached with LDM, and the judge dismissed the case with prejudice on March 18, 2014. Per the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company paid a one-time fee of $400,000 and will pay LDM the greater of $0.37 per patient discount distributed by OptimizeRx or 10% of the total revenue earned by OptimizeRx for distribution and redemption of all patent discounts.
