NOTE 1 - BUSINESS AND BUSINESS PRESENTATION

HealthLynked Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company” or “HLYK”) filed its Articles of Incorporation on August 4, 2014. On September 3, 2014 HLYK filed Amended Articles of Incorporation clarifying that the total authorized shares of 250,000,000 shares are broken up between 230,000,000 common shares and 20,000,000 preferred shares. On February 5, 2018, the Company filed the amendment with the Secretary of State of Nevada to increase the amount of authorized shares of common stock to 500,000,000 shares.

On September 5, 2014, HLYK entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Naples Women’s Center LLC (“NWC”), a Florida Limited Liability Company (“LLC”), acquiring 100% of the LLC membership units of NWC through the issuance of 50,000,000 shares of HLYK common stock to the members of NWC (the “Restructuring”).

NWC is a multi-specialty medical group including OB/GYN (both Obstetrics and Gynecology), and General Practice located in Naples, Florida.

HLYK operates an online personal medical information and record archive system, the “HealthLynked Network”, which enables patients and doctors to keep track of medical information via the Internet in a cloud based system. Patients complete a detailed online personal medical history including past surgical history, medications, allergies, and family history. Once this information is entered patients and their treating physicians are able to update the information as needed to provide a comprehensive medical history.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments including normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with the GAAP. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which are included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on April 2, 2018. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read, or have access to, the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding period, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending December 31, 2018.

All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. In addition, certain amounts in the prior periods’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements follows:

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

All amounts referred to in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements are in United States Dollars ($) unless stated otherwise.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include assumptions about collection of accounts receivable, the valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation expense, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and useful life of fixed assets.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Patient Service Revenue

Patient service revenue is reported at the amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for providing patient care. These amounts are due from patients and third-party payors (including health insurers and government programs) and includes variable consideration for retroactive revenue adjustments due to settlement of audits, reviews, and investigations. Generally, the Company bills patients and third-party payors within days after the services are performed and/or the patient is discharged from the facility. Revenue is recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.

Performance obligations are determined based on the nature of the services provided by the Company. Revenue for performance obligations satisfied over time is recognized based on actual charges incurred in relation to total expected charges. The Company believes that this method provides a faithful depiction of the transfer of services over the term of the performance obligation based on the inputs needed to satisfy the obligation. Revenue for performance obligations satisfied at a point in time is recognized when goods or services are provided and the Company does not believe it is required to provide additional goods or services to the patient.

The Company determines the transaction price based on standard charges for goods and services provided, reduced by contractual adjustments provided to third-party payors, discounts provided to uninsured patients in accordance with the Company’s policy, and/or implicit price concessions provided to uninsured patients. The Company determines its estimates of contractual adjustments and discounts based on contractual agreements, its discount policies, and historical experience. The Company determines its estimate of implicit price concessions based on its historical collection experience with this class of patients.

Agreements with third-party payors typically provide for payments at amounts less than established charges. A summary of the payment arrangements with major third-party payors follows:

Laws and regulations concerning government programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, are complex and subject to varying interpretation. As a result of investigations by governmental agencies, various health care organizations have received requests for information and notices regarding alleged noncompliance with those laws and regulations, which, in some instances, have resulted in organizations entering into significant settlement agreements. Compliance with such laws and regulations may also be subject to future government review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action, including fines, penalties, and potential exclusion from the related programs. There can be no assurance that regulatory authorities will not challenge the Company’s compliance with these laws and regulations, and it is not possible to determine the impact, if any, such claims or penalties would have upon the Company. In addition, the contracts the Company has with commercial payors also provide for retroactive audit and review of claims.

Settlements with third-party payors for retroactive adjustments due to audits, reviews or investigations are considered variable consideration and are included in the determination of the estimated transaction price for providing patient care. These settlements are estimated based on the terms of the payment agreement with the payor, correspondence from the payor and the Company’s historical settlement activity, including an assessment to ensure that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the retroactive adjustment is subsequently resolved. Estimated settlements are adjusted in future periods as adjustments become known, or as years are settled or are no longer subject to such audits, reviews, and investigations.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

The Company also provides services to uninsured patients, and offers those uninsured patients a discount, either by policy or law, from standard charges. The Company estimates the transaction price for patients with deductibles and coinsurance and from those who are uninsured based on historical experience and current market conditions. The initial estimate of the transaction price is determined by reducing the standard charge by any contractual adjustments, discounts, and implicit price concessions. Subsequent changes to the estimate of the transaction price are generally recorded as adjustments to patient service revenue in the period of the change.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For financial statement purposes, the Company considers all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

Trade receivables are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Trade credit is generally extended on a short-term basis; thus trade receivables do not bear interest. Trade accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past collectability of the insurance companies, government agencies, and customers’ accounts receivable during the related period which generally approximates 45% of total billings. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at this net amount. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company’s gross accounts receivable were $319,269 and $256,446, respectively, and net accounts receivable were $149,524 and $113,349, respectively, based upon net reporting of accounts receivable.

Capital Leases

Costs associated with capitalized leases are capitalized and depreciated ratably over the term of the related useful life of the asset and/or the capital lease term. The related depreciation for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $4,587 and $4,587, respectively. Accumulated depreciation of capitalized leases was $308,325 and $303,738 at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to a concentration of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable. There are no patients/customers that represent 10% or more of the Company’s revenue or accounts receivable. Generally, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are in checking accounts.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. For consolidated financial statement purposes, property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 5 to 7 years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized.

The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. There was no impairment as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Convertible Notes

Convertible notes are regarded as compound instruments, consisting of a liability component and an equity component. The component parts of compound instruments are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for a similar non-convertible instrument. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortized cost basis until extinguished upon conversion or at the instrument’s maturity date. The equity component is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole. This is recognized as additional paid-in capital and included in equity, net of income tax effects, and is not subsequently remeasured. After initial measurement, they are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Convertible notes for which the maturity date has been extended and that qualify for debt extinguishment treatment are recorded at fair value on the extinguishment date and then revalue at the end of each reporting period, with the change recorded to the statement of operations under “Change in Fair Value of Debt.”

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt, equity instruments and other financing arrangements to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. Also, in connection with the issuance of financing instruments, the Company may issue freestanding options or warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity. Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. To the extent that the initial fair values of the freestanding and/or bifurcated derivative instrument liabilities exceed the total proceeds received, an immediate charge to income is recognized, in order to initially record the derivative instrument liabilities at their fair value. The discount from the face value of convertible debt instruments resulting from allocating some or all of the proceeds to the derivative instruments is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. If reclassification is required, the fair value of the derivative instrument, as of the determination date, is reclassified. Any previous charges or credits to income for changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are not reversed. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants. In determining fair value, the accounting standards have established a three-level hierarchy that distinguishes between (i) market data obtained or developed from independent sources (i.e., observable data inputs) and (ii) a reporting entity’s own data and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (i.e., unobservable data inputs). Financial assets and financial liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified in one of the following categories, in order of priority of observability and objectivity of pricing inputs:

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

The fair value measurement level for an asset or liability is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock based compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” using the fair value based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges it equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

The Company uses the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.

Income Taxes

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability during each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse and are considered immaterial.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities is their cost, which may differ from fair value. The carrying value of cash held as demand deposits, money market and certificates of deposit, marketable investments, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and derivative financial instruments approximated their fair value.

Net Income (Loss) per Share 

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. During the three month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company reported a net loss and excluded all outstanding stock options, warrants and other dilutive securities from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share because inclusion of these securities would have been anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, potentially dilutive securities were comprised of (i) 29,682,790 and 18,076,389 warrants outstanding, respectively, (ii) 2,349,996 and 2,349,996 stock options outstanding, respectively, (iii) 19,255,940 and 7,375,000 shares issuable upon conversion of convertible notes, respectively, and (iv) 628,750 and 780,000 unissued shares subject to future vesting requirements granted pursuant to the Company’s Employee Incentive Plan.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Common stock awards

The Company grants common stock awards to non-employees in exchange for services provided. The Company measures the fair value of these awards using the fair value of the services provided or the fair value of the awards granted, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value measurement date of these awards is generally the date the performance of services is complete. The fair value of the awards is recognized on a straight-line basis as services are rendered. The share-based payments related to common stock awards for the settlement of services provided by non-employees is recorded on the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss in the same manner and charged to the same account as if such settlements had been made in cash.

Warrants

In connection with certain financing, consulting and collaboration arrangements, the Company has issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The outstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity awards. The Company measures the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the measurement date. Warrants issued in conjunction with the issuance of common stock are initially recorded at fair value as a reduction in additional paid-in capital of the common stock issued. All other warrants are recorded at fair value as expense over the requisite service period or at the date of issuance, if there is not a service period. Warrants granted in connection with ongoing arrangements are more fully described in Note 11, Shareholders’ Deficit.

Business Segments

The Company uses the "management approach" to identify its reportable segments. The management approach designates the internal organization used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the basis for identifying the Company's reportable segments. Using the management approach, the Company determined that it has one operating segment due to business similarities and similar economic characteristics.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers — Topic 606, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC 605. The new guidance primarily states that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. In January 2017 and September 2017, the FASB issued several amendments to ASU 2014-09, including updates stemming from SEC Accounting Staff Announcement in July 2017. The amendments and updates included clarification on accounting for principal versus agent considerations (i.e., reporting gross versus net), licenses of intellectual property and identification of performance obligations. These amendments and updates do not change the core principle of the standard, but provide clarity and implementation guidance. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 and selected the modified retrospective transition method. The Company has modified its accounting policies to reflect the requirements of this standard, however, the planned adoption did not materially impact the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments — Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The guidance affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements of financial instruments. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Early adoption is permitted for the accounting guidance on financial liabilities under the fair value option. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and subsequently amended the guidance relating largely to transition considerations under the standard in January 2017. The objective of this update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be applied utilizing a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The objective of this ASU is to eliminate the diversity in practice related to the classification of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. For public business entities, this ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company will adopt this standard on January 1, 2018 and will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (ASU 2016-09), which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. This pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company will adopt this standard on January 1, 2018 and will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and Derivatives and Hedging, which changes the accounting and earnings per share for certain instruments with down round features. The amendments in this ASU should be applied using a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the fiscal year or retrospective adjustment to each period presented and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those periods. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of this new guidance and has not yet determined its impact on the Company’s financial statements.

On December 22, 2017 the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (SAB 118), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the TCJA).  SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the TCJA for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the TCJA is incomplete but for which they are able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional amount in the financial statements. Provisional treatment is proper in light of anticipated additional guidance from various taxing authorities, the SEC, the FASB, and even the Joint Committee on Taxation. If a company cannot determine a provisional amount to be included in the financial statements, it should continue to apply ASC 740 on the basis of the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately before the enactment of the TCJA. The Company has applied this guidance to its financial statements.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN MATTERS AND LIQUIDITY

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,713,743 and accumulated deficit $5,986,338. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company had a net loss of $1,281,108 and net cash used by operating activities of $424,154. Net cash used in investing activities was $201. Net cash provided by financing activities was $403,659, resulting principally from $325,000 net proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes, $251,568 from the proceeds of the sale of 2,984,146 shares of common stock and $101,450 proceeds from related party loans. Subsequent to March 31, 2018, the Company received additional $400,500 net proceeds from the sale of seven separate convertible promissory notes (see Note 14) and $10,279 from draws under the Investment Agreement.

The Company’s cash balance and revenues generated are not currently sufficient and cannot be projected to cover its operating expenses for the next twelve months from the date of this report. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans include attempting to improve its business profitability and its ability to generate sufficient cash flow from its operations to meet its needs on a timely basis, obtaining additional working capital funds through equity and debt financing arrangements, and restructuring on-going operations to eliminate inefficiencies to raise cash balance in order to meet its anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months from the date of this report. However, there can be no assurance that these plans and arrangements will be sufficient to fund the Company’s ongoing capital expenditures, working capital, and other requirements. Management intends to make every effort to identify and develop sources of funds. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. There can be no assurance that any additional financings will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital and achieve profitable operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. 

During July 2016, HLYK entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) pursuant to which the investor has agreed to purchase up to $3,000,000 of HLYK common stock over a three-year period starting upon registration of the underlying shares, with such shares put to the investor by the Company pursuant to a specified formula that limits the number of shares able to be put to the investor to the number equal to the average trading volume of the Company’s common shares for the ten consecutive trading days prior to the put notice being issued. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company received $1,568 from the proceeds of the sale of 42,969 shares pursuant to the Investment Agreement.

The Company intends that the cost of implementing its development and sales efforts related to the HealthLynked Network, as well as maintaining its existing and expanding overhead and administrative costs, will be funded principally by cash received by the Company from the put rights associated with the Investment Agreement and supplemented by other funding mechanisms, including sales of the Company’s common stock, loans from related parties and convertible notes. The Company expects to repay its outstanding convertible notes, which have an aggregate face value of $1,294,000 as of March 31, 2018, from outside funding sources, including but not limited to new convertible notes payable, amounts available upon the exercise of the put rights granted to the Company under the Investment Agreement, sales of equity, loans from related parties and others or through the conversion of the convertible notes into equity. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to access sufficient outside capital in a timely fashion in order to repay the convertible notes before they mature. If necessary funds are not available, the Company’s business and operations would be materially adversely affected and in such event, the Company would attempt to reduce costs and adjust its business plan.

NOTE 4 – DEFERRED OFFERING COSTS

On July 7, 2016, the Company entered into the Investment Agreement with an accredited investor, pursuant to which an accredited investor agreed to invest up to $3,000,000 to purchase the Company’s common stock, par value of $.0001 per share. The purchase price for such shares shall be 80% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the five consecutive trading days prior to the date on which written notice is sent by the Company to the investor stating the number of shares that the Company is selling to the investor, subject to certain discounts and adjustments. Further, for each $50,000 that the investor tenders to the Company for the purchase of shares of common stock, the investor was to be granted warrants for the purchase of an equivalent number of shares of common stock. The warrants were to expire five (5) years from their respective grant dates and have an exercise price equal to 130% of the weighted average purchase price for the respective “$50,000 increment.”

On March 22, 2017, the Company and the investor entered into an Amended Investment Agreement (the “Amended Investment Agreement”) whereby the parties agreed to modify the terms of the Investment Agreement by providing that in lieu of granting the investor warrants for each $50,000 that the investor tenders to the Company, the Company granted to the investor warrants to purchase an aggregate of 7,000,000 shares of common stock. The warrants have the following fixed exercise prices: (i) 4,000,000 shares at $0.25 per share; (ii) 2,000,000 shares at $0.50 per share; and (iii) 1,000,000 shares at $1.00 per share. The warrants also contain a “cashless exercise” provision and the shares underlying the warrants will not be registered. The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model at $56,635, with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1.95%, expected life of 5 years, volatility of 40%, and expected dividend yield of zero.

On June 7, 2017, the Company also granted warrants to purchase 200,000 shares at $0.25 per share, 100,000 shares at $0.50 per share and 50,000 shares at $1.00 per share to an advisor as a fee in connection with the Amended Investment Agreement. The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model at $96,990, with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1.74%, expected life of 5 years, volatility of 40%, and expected dividend yield of zero.

This fair value of the warrants was recorded as a deferred offering cost and will be amortized over the period during which the Company can access the financing, which begins the day after a registration statement registering shares underlying the Investment Agreement is declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and ends 3 years from that date. On May 15, 2017, the SEC declared effective a registration statement registering shares underlying the Investment Agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized $12,802 and $-0-, respectively, in general and administrative expense related to the cost of the warrants.

NOTE 6 – NOTES PAYABLE AND OTHER AMOUNTS DUE TO RELATED PARTY (CONTINUED)

On February 12, 2018, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 6,678,462 shares of common stock to DMD as an inducement to (i) extend the maturity dates of up to $439,450 loaned by Dr. Dent to the Company in 2017 and 2018 in the form of unsecured promissory notes, including $75,000 loaned from Dr. Dent to the Company in January 2018 to allow the Company to retire an existing convertible promissory note payable to Power-up Lending Group Ltd. before such convertible promissory note became eligible for conversion, and (ii) provide continued loans to the Company. The warrant is immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.065 per share, subject to adjustment, and expires five years after the date of issuance. The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model at $337,466, with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 2.56%, expected life of 5 years, volatility of 268.90%, and expected dividend yield of zero. On March 28, 2012, DMD agreed to extend the maturity dates of promissory notes with an aggregate face value of $177,500, which were originally scheduled to mature before June 30, 2018, by one year from the original maturity date. Because the fair value of the warrants was greater than 10% of the present value of the remaining cash flows under the modified promissory notes, the transaction was treated as a debt extinguishment and reissuance of new debt instruments pursuant to the guidance of ASC 470-50 “Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments” (“ASC 470-50”). A loss on debt extinguishment was recorded in the amount of $348,938, equal to the fair value of the warrants of $337,466, plus the excess of $11,472 of the fair value of the reissued debt instruments over the carrying value of the existing debt instruments. The change in fair value of the reissued debt instruments between the reissuance date and March 31, 2018 was $3,449, which is included in “Change in fair value of debt.”

Because the fair value of the ECF exceeded the net proceeds from the $58k Note, a charge was recorded to “Financing cost” for the excess of the fair value of the fair value of the ECF of $82,652 over the net proceeds from the note of $50,000, for a net charge of $32,652. The ECF qualifies for derivative accounting and bifurcation under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The final allocation of the proceeds at inception was as follows:

The discounts resulting from the original issue discount, warrants and embedded conversion feature are being amortized over the life of the $58k Note.

The $113k Note included $12,750 fees for net proceeds of $100,000. The $113k Note has an interest rate of 10% and a default interest rate of 24% and matures on February 2, 2019. The $113k Note may be converted into common stock of the Company by the holder at any time after the issuance date, subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation, at a conversion price per share equal to 40% discount to the lowest bid or trading price of the Company’s common stock during the twenty (20) trading days prior to the conversion date. Upon an event of default caused by the Company’s failure to deliver shares upon a conversion pursuant to the terms of the Note, 200% of the outstanding principal and any interest due amount shall be immediately due. Upon an event of default caused by the Company’s breach of any other events of default specified in the Note, 150% of the outstanding principal and any interest due amount shall be immediately due.

The fair value of the ECF of the $113k Note was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model at $161,527, with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1.88%, expected life of 1 year, volatility of 264.93%, and expected dividend yield of zero. Because the fair value of the ECF exceeded the net proceeds from the $113k Note, a charge was recorded to “Financing cost” for the excess of the fair value of the fair value of the ECF of $161,527 over the net proceeds from the note of $100,000, for a net charge of $61,527. The ECF qualifies for derivative accounting and bifurcation under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The final allocation of the proceeds at inception was as follows:

The discounts resulting from the original issue discount, warrants and embedded conversion feature are being amortized over the life of the $113k Note. Amortization expense related to these discounts in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $17,608 and $-0-, respectively. As of March 31, 2018, the unamortized discount was $95,142 and the $113k Note was convertible into 2,291,667 of the Company’s common shares.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company made no repayments on the $113k Note. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded interest expense on the $113k Note totaling $1,761 and $-0-, respectively.

Upon an event of default, 200% of the outstanding principal and any interest due amount shall be immediately due.

NOTE 9 –CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE (CONTINUED)

The fair value of the ECF of the $83k Note was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model at $119,512, with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1.95%, expected life of 1 year, volatility of 268.44%, and expected dividend yield of zero. Because the fair value of the ECF exceeded the net proceeds from the $83k Note, a charge was recorded to “Financing cost” for the excess of the fair value of the fair value of the ECF of $119,512 over the net proceeds from the note of $75,000, for a net charge of $44,512. The ECF qualifies for derivative accounting and bifurcation under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The final allocation of the proceeds at inception was as follows:

The discounts resulting from the original issue discount, warrants and embedded conversion feature are being amortized over the life of the $83k Note. Amortization expense related to these discounts in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $10,460 and $-0-, respectively. As of March 31, 2018, the unamortized discount was $72,540 and the $83k Note was convertible into 1,686,992 of the Company’s common shares.

Upon an event of default, 110-150% of the outstanding principal and any interest due amount shall be immediately due, depending on the nature of the breach.

The fair value of the ECF of the $105k Note was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model at $153,371, with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 2.06%, expected life of 1 year, volatility of 278.96%, and expected dividend yield of zero. Because the fair value of the ECF exceeded the net proceeds from the $105k Note, a charge was recorded to “Financing cost” for the excess of the fair value of the fair value of the ECF of $153,371 over the net proceeds from the note of $100,000, for a net charge of $53,371.

NOTE 10 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Derivative financial instruments are comprised of the fair value of conversion features embedded in convertible promissory notes for which the conversion rate is not fixed, but instead is adjusted based on a discount to the market price of the Company’s common stock. The fair market value of the derivative liabilities was calculated at inception of each convertible promissory notes for which the conversion rate is not fixed and allocated to the respective convertible notes, with any excess recorded as a charge to “Financing cost.” The derivative financial instruments are then revalued at the end of each period, with the change in value recorded to “Change in fair value of on derivative financial instruments.”

Derivative financial instruments and changes thereto recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2018 include the following:

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the $53k Note, the $35k Note and the $55k Note were each repaid in full. Accordingly, the derivative financial instruments associated with the ECFs of these convertible notes were written off in connection with the extinguishment of each convertible note.

Fair market value of the derivative financial instruments is measured using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1.21-2.09%, expected life of 0.27-1.00 years, volatility of 172.67-283.66%, and expected dividend yield of zero. The entire amount of derivative instrument liabilities is classified as current due to the fact that settlement of the derivative instruments could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date. The Company had no derivative financial instruments in the three months ended March 31, 2017.

NOTE 14 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of such instruments.

The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis, including certain convertible notes payable and related party loans which were extinguished and reissued and are therefore subject to fair value measurement, as well as derivative financial instruments arising from conversion features embedded in convertible promissory notes for which the conversion rate is not fixed. All financial instruments carried at fair value fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as their value is based on unobservable inputs. The Company evaluates its financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level in which to classify them for each reporting period. This determination requires significant judgments to be made.

Upon an event of default caused by the Company’s failure to maintain a listing for its common stock, the outstanding principal shall increase by 50%. Upon an event of default caused by the Company’s failure to maintain a bid price for its common stock, the outstanding principal shall increase by 20%.

On May 9, 2018, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement for the sale of a $63,000 convertible note (the “$63k Note II”). The transaction closed on May 12, 2018. The $63k Note II included $3,000 fees for net proceeds of $60,000. The $63k Note II has an interest rate of 10% and a default interest rate of 22% and matures on May 7, 2019. The $63k Note II may be converted into common stock of the Company by the holder at any time after the 6-month anniversary of the issuance date, subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation, at a conversion price per share equal to a 39% discount to the lowest bid or trading price of the Company’s common stock during the fifteen (15) trading days prior to the conversion date. Upon an event of default caused by the Company’s failure to deliver shares upon a conversion pursuant to the terms of the Note, 300% of the outstanding principal and any interest due amount shall be immediately due. Upon an event of default caused by the Company’s breach of any other events of default specified in the Note, 150% of the outstanding principal and any interest due amount shall be immediately due.

Overview

HealthLynked Corp. (the “Company,” “we,” “our, “us” or “HLYK”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 4, 2014. On September 2, 2014, the Company filed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation setting the total number of authorized shares at 250,000,000 shares, which includes up to 230,000,000 shares of common stock and 20,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock. On February 5, 2018, the Company filed an Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to 500,000,000 shares. The Company also had 2,953,840 designated shares of Series A Preferred Stock in 2014, which were converted into the same number of common shares in 2016.

On September 5, 2014, the Company entered into the Share Exchange Agreement with Naples Women’s Center, LLC (“NWC”), a multi-specialty medical group including OB/GYN (both Obstetrics and Gynecology), and general practice located in Naples, Florida, acquiring 100% of the LLC membership interests of NWC in exchange for an aggregate of 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the members of NWC.

The Company operates online personal medical information and record archive system, the “HealthLynked Network,” which enables patients and doctors to keep track of medical information via the Internet in a cloud based system. Patients complete a detailed online personal medical history including past surgical history, medications, allergies, and family history. Once this information is entered patients and their treating physicians are able to update the information as needed to provide a comprehensive medical history.

The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring NWC, and eventually developing its own online medical information system business as described above. Prior to the share exchange, NWC was an ongoing operation that had been in existence since 1996. NWC generated revenues since its inception.

Critical accounting policies and significant judgments and estimates

This management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. The Company’s estimates are based on historical experience and on various other factors that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding the Company’s historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.

Patient Service Revenue

Patient service revenue is reported at the amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for providing patient care. These amounts are due from patients and third-party payors (including health insurers and government programs) and includes variable consideration for retroactive revenue adjustments due to settlement of audits, reviews, and investigations. Generally, the Company bills patients and third-party payors within days after the services are performed and/or the patient is discharged from the facility. Revenue is recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.

Performance obligations are determined based on the nature of the services provided by the Company. Revenue for performance obligations satisfied over time is recognized based on actual charges incurred in relation to total expected charges. The Company believes that this method provides a faithful depiction of the transfer of services over the term of the performance obligation based on the inputs needed to satisfy the obligation. Revenue for performance obligations satisfied at a point in time is recognized when goods or services are provided and the Company does not believe it is required to provide additional goods or services to the patient.

The Company determines the transaction price based on standard charges for goods and services provided, reduced by contractual adjustments provided to third-party payors, discounts provided to uninsured patients in accordance with the Company’s policy, and/or implicit price concessions provided to uninsured patients. The Company determines its estimates of contractual adjustments and discounts based on contractual agreements, its discount policies, and historical experience. The Company determines its estimate of implicit price concessions based on its historical collection experience with this class of patients.

Agreements with third-party payors typically provide for payments at amounts less than established charges. A summary of the payment arrangements with major third-party payors follows:

Laws and regulations concerning government programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, are complex and subject to varying interpretation. As a result of investigations by governmental agencies, various health care organizations have received requests for information and notices regarding alleged noncompliance with those laws and regulations, which, in some instances, have resulted in organizations entering into significant settlement agreements. Compliance with such laws and regulations may also be subject to future government review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action, including fines, penalties, and potential exclusion from the related programs. There can be no assurance that regulatory authorities will not challenge the Company’s compliance with these laws and regulations, and it is not possible to determine the impact, if any, such claims or penalties would have upon the Company. In addition, the contracts the Company has with commercial payors also provide for retroactive audit and review of claims.

Settlements with third-party payors for retroactive adjustments due to audits, reviews or investigations are considered variable consideration and are included in the determination of the estimated transaction price for providing patient care. These settlements are estimated based on the terms of the payment agreement with the payor, correspondence from the payor and the Company’s historical settlement activity, including an assessment to ensure that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the retroactive adjustment is subsequently resolved. Estimated settlements are adjusted in future periods as adjustments become known, or as years are settled or are no longer subject to such audits, reviews, and investigations.

The Company also provides services to uninsured patients, and offers those uninsured patients a discount, either by policy or law, from standard charges. The Company estimates the transaction price for patients with deductibles and coinsurance and from those who are uninsured based on historical experience and current market conditions. The initial estimate of the transaction price is determined by reducing the standard charge by any contractual adjustments, discounts, and implicit price concessions. Subsequent changes to the estimate of the transaction price are generally recorded as adjustments to patient service revenue in the period of the change.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For financial statement purposes, the Company considers all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

Trade receivables are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Trade credit is generally extended on a short-term basis; thus trade receivables do not bear interest. Trade accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past collectability of the insurance companies, government agencies, and customers’ accounts receivable during the related period which generally approximates 45% of total billings. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at this net amount.

Capital Leases

Costs associated with capitalized leases are capitalized and depreciated ratably over the term of the related useful life of the asset and/or the capital lease term.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to a concentration of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable. There are no patients/customers that represent 10% or more of the Company’s revenue or accounts receivable. Generally, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are in checking accounts.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. For consolidated financial statement purposes, property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 5 to 7 years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized.

The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value.

Convertible Notes

Convertible notes are regarded as compound instruments, consisting of a liability component and an equity component. The component parts of compound instruments are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for a similar non-convertible instrument. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortized cost basis until extinguished upon conversion or at the instrument’s maturity date. The equity component is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole. This is recognized as additional paid-in capital and included in equity, net of income tax effects, and is not subsequently remeasured. After initial measurement, they are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Convertible notes for which the maturity date has been extended and that qualify for debt extinguishment treatment are recorded at fair value on the extinguishment date and then revalue at the end of each reporting period, with the change recorded to the statement of operations under “Change in Fair Value of Debt.”

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt, equity instruments and other financing arrangements to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. Also, in connection with the issuance of financing instruments, the Company may issue freestanding options or warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity. Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. To the extent that the initial fair values of the freestanding and/or bifurcated derivative instrument liabilities exceed the total proceeds received, an immediate charge to income is recognized, in order to initially record the derivative instrument liabilities at their fair value. The discount from the face value of convertible debt instruments resulting from allocating some or all of the proceeds to the derivative instruments is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. If reclassification is required, the fair value of the derivative instrument, as of the determination date, is reclassified. Any previous charges or credits to income for changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are not reversed. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants. In determining fair value, the accounting standards have established a three-level hierarchy that distinguishes between (i) market data obtained or developed from independent sources (i.e., observable data inputs) and (ii) a reporting entity’s own data and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (i.e., unobservable data inputs). Financial assets and financial liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified in one of the following categories, in order of priority of observability and objectivity of pricing inputs:

The fair value measurement level for an asset or liability is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for our stock based compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” using the fair value based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges it equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

The Company uses the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.

Income Taxes

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability during each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse and are considered immaterial.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities is their cost, which may differ from fair value. The carrying value of cash held as demand deposits, money market and certificates of deposit, marketable investments, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated their fair value.

Net Income (Loss) per Share 

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Outstanding stock options, warrants and other dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share if inclusion of these securities would be anti-dilutive.

Common stock awards

The Company grants common stock awards to non-employees in exchange for services provided. The Company measures the fair value of these awards using the fair value of the services provided or the fair value of the awards granted, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value measurement date of these awards is generally the date the performance of services is complete. The fair value of the awards is recognized on a straight-line basis as services are rendered. The share-based payments related to common stock awards for the settlement of services provided by non-employees is recorded on the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss in the same manner and charged to the same account as if such settlements had been made in cash.

Warrants

In connection with certain financing, consulting and collaboration arrangements, the Company has issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The outstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity awards. The Company measures the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the measurement date. Warrants issued in conjunction with the issuance of common stock are initially recorded at fair value as a reduction in additional paid-in capital of the common stock issued. All other warrants are recorded at fair value as expense over the requisite service period or at the date of issuance, if there is not a service period. Warrants granted in connection with ongoing arrangements are more fully described in Note 11, Shareholders’ Deficit.

Business Segments

The Company uses the "management approach" to identify its reportable segments. The management approach designates the internal organization used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the basis for identifying the Company's reportable segments. Using the management approach, the Company determined that it has one operating segment due to business similarities and similar economic characteristics.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers — Topic 606, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC 605. The new guidance primarily states that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. In January 2017 and September 2017, the FASB issued several amendments to ASU 2014-09, including updates stemming from SEC Accounting Staff Announcement in July 2017. The amendments and updates included clarification on accounting for principal versus agent considerations (i.e., reporting gross versus net), licenses of intellectual property and identification of performance obligations. These amendments and updates do not change the core principle of the standard, but provide clarity and implementation guidance. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 and selected the modified retrospective transition method. The Company has modified its accounting policies to reflect the requirements of this standard, however, the planned adoption did not materially impact the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments — Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The guidance affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements of financial instruments. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Early adoption is permitted for the accounting guidance on financial liabilities under the fair value option. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and subsequently amended the guidance relating largely to transition considerations under the standard in January 2017. The objective of this update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be applied utilizing a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The objective of this ASU is to eliminate the diversity in practice related to the classification of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. For public business entities, this ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company will adopt this standard on January 1, 2018 and will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (ASU 2016-09), which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. This pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company will adopt this standard on January 1, 2018 and will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.  

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and Derivatives and Hedging, which changes the accounting and earnings per share for certain instruments with down round features. The amendments in this ASU should be applied using a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the fiscal year or retrospective adjustment to each period presented and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those periods. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of this new guidance and has not yet determined its impact on the Company’s financial statements.

On December 22, 2017 the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (SAB 118), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the TCJA).  SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the TCJA for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the TCJA is incomplete but for which they are able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional amount in the financial statements. Provisional treatment is proper in light of anticipated additional guidance from various taxing authorities, the SEC, the FASB, and even the Joint Committee on Taxation. If a company cannot determine a provisional amount to be included in the financial statements, it should continue to apply ASC 740 on the basis of the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately before the enactment of the TCJA. The Company has applied this guidance to its financial statements.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017

The following table summarizes the changes in our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2017:

Patient service revenue increased by $169,521, or 36%, from three months ended March 31, 2017 to 2018, primarily as a result of a 26% increase in gross billing from existing physicians.

Salaries and benefits increased by $92,982, or 20%, in 2018 primarily as a result of increased salary expense associated with NWC production pay, HLYK’s overhead and formation of the HLYK sales team.

General and administrative costs increased by $184,802, or 47%, in 2018 primarily due to higher professional costs in 2018, as well as higher information technology, sales and promotional costs associated with the rollout of the HealthLynked Network.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $321, or 6%, in 2018 primarily as a result of new property and equipment acquisitions in 2017.

Loss from operations increased by $108,584, or 28%, in 2017 primarily as a result of increased HLYK headcount, professional fees and costs associated with the rollout of the HealthLynked Network, offset by higher revenue from the NWC practice.

Loss on extinguishment of debt in 2018 arose from the issuance of a warrant to purchase 6,678,462 shares of HLYK common stock at an exercise price of $0.065 per share issued to Dr. Michael Dent $354,825, offset by gains on extinguishment of debt $42,729 resulting from the repayment of convertible notes payable with a face value of $143,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Change in fair value of debt of $57,946 in 2018 arose from the treatment of the extensions of the $550k Note, the $50k Note the $111k Note and certain notes issued to Dr. Michael Dent as extinguishment and reissuance transactions, resulting these notes being carried at fair value. The change in fair value at the end of each reporting period is recorded as “Change in fair value of debt.”

Financing cost arose from the issuance of four convertible promissory notes in the three months ended March 31, 2018, each of which reflected a floating conversion rate that gave rise to an ECF derivative instrument with a fair value greater than the face value of the notes. As a result, the excess of the fair value of the ECF derivative instrument over the face value of the notes totaling $192,062 was recognized as a financing cost at the time of inception of the respective notes.

Amortization of original issue and debt discounts increased by $82,791, or 115%, in 2018 as a result of the amortization of more convertible notes with larger discounts being amortized in 2018.

Change in fair value of derivative financial instruments was $14,621 in 2018 resulting from the change in fair value of derivative financial instruments embedded in convertible promissory notes between inception during the period.

Interest expense increased by $22,760, or 129%, in 2018 as a result of increased interest on new convertible notes issued in 2018, as well as on new notes issued to Dr. Dent during 2017 and the first quarter of 2018.

Total other expenses increased by $695,403, or 776%, in 2018 primarily as a result of a loss on extinguishment of debt in 2018 in the amount of $325,223 in 2018 stemming from the issuance of debt-related warrants to Dr. Michael Dent, financing cost related to convertible notes issued in 2018 in the amount of $192,062, higher amortization of discounts on outstanding convertible promissory notes of $82,791, and higher interest expense of $22,760 due to higher balances on convertible notes payable.

Net loss increased by $803,987, or 169%, in 2018 primarily as a result of financing-related charges, including loss on extinguishment of debt, financing costs and higher amortization of debt discounts, as well as increased salaries, benefits and overhead costs associated with preparing for the HealthLynked Network product launch and public company costs. These increases were offset by an increase in revenue of $169,521, or 36%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Going Concern

As of March 31, 2018, we had a working capital deficit of $2,713,743 and accumulated deficit $5,986,338. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we had a net loss of $1,281,108 and net cash used by operating activities of $424,154. Net cash used in investing activities was $201. Net cash provided by financing activities was $403,659, resulting principally from $325,000 net proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes, $251,568 from the proceeds of the sale of 2,984,146 shares of common stock and $101,450 proceeds from related party loans. Subsequent to March 31, 2018, we received additional $400,500 net proceeds from the sale of seven separate convertible promissory notes and $10,279 from draws under the Investment Agreement.

Our cash balance and revenues generated are not currently sufficient and cannot be projected to cover our operating expenses for the next twelve months from the date of this report. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans include attempting to improve its business profitability and its ability to generate sufficient cash flow from its operations to meet its needs on a timely basis, obtaining additional working capital funds through equity and debt financing arrangements, and restructuring on-going operations to eliminate inefficiencies to raise cash balance in order to meet our anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months from the date of this report. However, there can be no assurance that these plans and arrangements will be sufficient to fund our ongoing capital expenditures, working capital, and other requirements. Management intends to make every effort to identify and develop sources of funds. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. There can be no assurance that any additional financings will be available to us on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital and achieve profitable operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should we be unable to continue as a going concern. 

During July 2016, we entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) pursuant to which the investor has agreed to purchase up to $3,000,000 of our common stock over a three-year period starting upon registration of the underlying shares, with such shares put to the investor by us pursuant to a specified formula that limits the number of shares able to be put to the investor to the number equal to the average trading volume of our common shares for the ten consecutive trading days prior to the put notice being issued. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we received $1,568 from the proceeds of the sale of 42,969 shares pursuant to the Investment Agreement.

We intend that the cost of implementing our development and sales efforts related to the HealthLynked Network, as well as maintaining our existing and expanding overhead and administrative costs, will be funded principally by cash received from the put rights associated with the Investment Agreement and supplemented by other funding mechanisms, including sales of our common stock, loans from related parties and convertible notes. We expect to repay our outstanding convertible notes, which have an aggregate face value of $1,294,000 as of March 31, 2018, from outside funding sources, including but not limited to new convertible notes payable, amounts available upon the exercise of the put rights granted to us under the Investment Agreement, sales of equity, loans from related parties and others or through the conversion of the convertible notes into equity. No assurances can be given that we will be able to access sufficient outside capital in a timely fashion in order to repay the convertible notes before they mature.
