Special Notice Regarding the Worldwide Covid-19 Crisis
The world economy is facing significant uncertainties as a result of the worldwide COVID-19 crisis. While we are a small company and have a limited workforce, it is likely we will face increased risk in the case that our financing needs are delayed; our acquisition targets face liquidity issues; or if our professional relationships are challenged from limited staff availability or access. We are working to created back-up service providers, financing options and alternatives to stem these potential challenges, but there can be no assurance that these actions will be effective, or timely.
PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Company Overview
True Nature Holding, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), previously known as Trunity Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and since 2016 known as True Nature Holding, Inc., became a publicly-traded company through a reverse triangular merger with Brain Tree International, Inc., a Utah corporation (“BTI”) in 2012. Trunity Holdings, Inc. was the parent company of our educational business, named Trunity, Inc., which was formed on July 28, 2009 through the acquisition of certain intellectual property from its three founders. On December 9, 2015 the Company made a decision to restructure Trunity Holdings, Inc., having acquired Newco4pharmacy, LLC, a development stage business aimed at a roll-up of compounding pharmacy businesses. As a part of such restructuring, we competed a “spin out” transaction of our educational business line to our shareholders as of December 31, 2015. We are currently in the process of renaming True Nature Holding, Inc. to Mitesco, Inc.
We have in development a suite of offerings aimed at enhancing healthcare throughout the supply chain as well as to consumers. We intend to acquire and implement technologies and services to improve the quality of care, reduce cost, and enhance consumer convenience. We are focused on developing a portfolio of companies that provide healthcare technology solutions and the management team is seeking to develop long-term organizational value though these acquisitions and internal development. We believe the holding company structure will facilitate profitable growth and should enable the acquired business to focus on scale. The goal of the Company’s portfolio of companies is to apply leading-edge solutions that emphasize stakeholder value and leverages distinct sector trends. Sectors of interest include artificial intelligence (AI), population health management, data gathering solutions, electronic health records optimization, healthcare IT solutions, virtual care & care augmentation, and predictive analytics. The Company has formed a holding company structure for both its acquired assets in the United States and Europe, designed to support efficiencies around taxation, legal, and economies of scale in administrative functions.
We have recently implemented a corporate structure that we believe will allow us to expand into international markets. We now have a wholly owned subsidiary in Dublin, Ireland, Acelerar Healthcare Holdings, Ltd., and intend to use that location as a base for European operations. In the European community the investment in healthcare technology has been significant. In many cases, even more robust than in the North American markets. We believe that as a result of expected low economic growth in the European community, a number of businesses based there may become our targets for acquisition at attractive valuations. We believe that these businesses may benefit from the larger markets found in North America and elsewhere in the world. If these assumptions prove correct, the cost of international expansion for these businesses could be limited to marketing and product support.
We also see the European community as an opportunity for capital as we expand our business. The interest rates in this area of the world are currently very low or even at zero. As such, raising funds in the European market may prove attractive when compared to local alternatives. Further, there are equity and debt markets based in Europe that may provide liquidity to our investors, should we be able to list and trade our financial instruments in those marketplaces. We may seek a dual listing for our common stock or choose to list and trade our Preferred shares there. We believe this avenue may increase both the size and liquidity of the shareholder base.
While the Company has had limited technology development to this point, we do have a set of tools that allow data to be shared between healthcare providers, their pharmacy vendors, and with a personal healthcare records application. We believe we can quickly build and expand from this base with certain acquisitions. Beyond healthcare specific software and systems, we may choose to add a software and systems development business unit. Their clients may include other industries or application areas. We believe that cloud-based computing will continue to be the preferred approach to application development, and that technology developed for one industry may have immediate applicability in other areas including healthcare. If we are able to find a suitable candidate with this broad technology knowledge base we may add them to our healthcare focused portfolio. In doing so, we will have created a development center to serve the internal needs of the Company while continuing to serve the needs of other clients both in and out of the health care sector. Using this approach, we would hope to create a profit center, where there would otherwise simply be a captive cost center and would use a portion of their resources for internal needs.
Our business during 2018, and going through 2019, was focused in the area of software and solutions in the healthcare sector, generally described as the healthcare technology (health-tech) market. Our initial implementation of “SimpleHIPAA”, and “SimpleHIPAA for Vets and Pets”, is intended to include data from pharmacy and prescribers, generated at the time a prescription is written. This information will be embedded inside the application and made available to the end user from both the healthcare provider and from the pharmacy. While providing a starting point for tracking healthcare information for the end user, it also establishes a communications method between the end user, the healthcare provider, and the pharmacy. This communications channel, often thought of as “telemedicine” can allow the end user to provide feedback to the healthcare provider, the pharmacy, or other parties of the end user’s choice. During the fourth quarter of 2019 we installed the solution at our first site and established a reseller agreement with that client so that they can sell the application under their own brand and create a revenue stream for the Company without further investment in cost of sales. This is a non-exclusive arrangement and we may choose to establish similar relationships with other providers in the marketplace in the future. We do not intend to build out a direct sales and marketing team for this product set, rather we intend to license the product to others who will sell and install the products.
Our holding company organization is small, and we intend to endeavor to keep the team small in number so that we are nimble to move to capitalize on opportunities, and to keep our overhead relatively low. We currently have 3 employees and a few consultants and advisors. While we do intend to add additional members to the senior management team in finance, marketing and technology, we do not expect a large-scale organization at the public holding company level in the near term. Further, if we are fortunate enough to find high quality advisors, we believe we will be better able to control the fully weighted cost of public company operations, when compared to a larger, internal staffing approach.
2020 Healthcare Technology Fact Sheet
During FY2020 the Company is kicking off its strategy to support the acquisition of health -tech companies. The Company is focused on finding acquisitions to overcome of promising earlier stage companies with proven approaches, who need capital to scale to success. We will need additional capital that will allow us to fund the first 3 to 5 acquisitions, preferably in a form of conventional debt or preferred equity, likely with a periodic dividend. In general, the Company anticipates that minimal cash will be used in the acquisition process and the cash provided by its funding will generally be targeted for operating and growth capital.
What Exactly is The Healthcare Industry?
The healthcare industry is a complex network of entities, acronyms and complex relationships. It’s no wonder that the population and the players are all frustrated and wanting action. So, let’s try to simplify this; Everyone on the planet needs healthcare services and products.
The way the industry sees healthcare… | The way everyone else sees healthcare |
|
There is a small universe of healthcare providers. For all these people to get the services and products they need, the cost must come down, the quality must improve and access to care must increase. Core to achieving these three targets are:
1) |
As efficiency and accuracy of information-sharing for an individual’s healthcare status, diagnostics and maintenance improves, the correct care will be delivered the first time and, therefore, reduce costs; |
2) |
Innovative technology needs to be developed and funded in order to improve care quality to treat people with a fewer number of interactions within the health care system; |
3) |
Increasing the scope of care for a provider, allowing them to serve up to their full training, expertise and license, and then make those services available via in-person visits, by phone, by text, by email and by video, all to increase access to services with the least amount of delay. |
We are seeing many excellent examples of how technology can improve healthcare:
● |
Empowering people to manage their own care so that they need fewer resources from the shrinking pool of healthcare professionals; |
● |
Gathering and sharing data about a person’s healthcare needs more effectively among the relevant healthcare professionals and suppliers; |
● |
Utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data analytics to allow the healthcare professionals to work more effectively, spreading their talents across a larger pool of those who need their insights. |
We need to find companies with proven, scalable results and make those technologies and services available to the universe who can use them – today – to improve their quality of life, their health outcomes, and do so in a cost-effective manner. Some of these businesses simply need marketing and distribution, others will benefit from combination with other who have closely related technology solutions, so the result is more complete. That is our mission: find the best, grow them, scale them, improve them where needed. These are not startups, rather those who have proven a result, and outcome, a benefit and can now scale. We believe this may translate to lower risk for us, greater benefit for the universe of users who need access to healthcare.

We are seeking to identify 5 or 6 companies, then possibly expanding up to 10. A group which, when combined, may create up to annual revenue to profitable support our public company expense model and the internal needs for growth capital within in a year from completion of the acquisition.

Examples Where the Use and Benefits of Healthcare Technology and Services are Obvious
Making nurse practitioners more accessible, becoming the front line of healthcare
We see many examples around the world where the nurse practitioner has become the front line of healthcare, with the practical knowledge to deal with 90% of the situations personally, and to diagnose and recommend a specialist where needed. We would like to find solutions that cause the nurses to move from back-office to the front line. They can be recruited and trained worldwide, and their skills are well suited for most all social status and situations. Using a network of nurse practitioners, equipped with digital diagnostic tools and a network of physicians accessible on-demand, we hope to improve both the cost and timeliness of healthcare, while educating the consumer and providing long-term relationships. This may create an opportunity for us, worldwide.
Bringing digital communication and diagnostics to the consumer - Telehealth
We all have these great phones that allow us to see friends, relatives and business associates in real time. Instead of driving across town, or getting on an airplane, we get “online” and visit with each other. What if that could work for healthcare? It can and does. If we can provide simple, reliable and compliant telehealth tools to our professionals, we can increase access, improve and monitor results and reduce costs. We have technology providers with excellent software to provide services such as scheduling for follow-ups, notes that can be added to the user’s personal healthcare records app (PHR) that then allow the professional to refer to a specialist or pharmacy (like you “friended them”?). Many of these developers have shown usability for a small group in a specific geography but have no idea how to go nationwide or across other healthcare specialties. This may create an opportunity for us, worldwide.
Lower cost, faster and better access MRI’s
What if we could “tweak” a conventional MRI machine to make it faster and get better images at the same time? Instead of an hour or more per patient, what if it could be reduced to 10 minutes? The faster the MRI scan, the lower the effective cost, since more patients can MRIs can be processed through the machine. We believe that technological efficiencies can drive down the cost of MRI scans to approximately $200 per scan, versus $2,600 on average today. This may create an opportunity for us, worldwide.
Using artificial intelligence (A.I.) to analyze imaging data
With todays’ A.I. software, one can look at data and compare millions of examples in seconds. What if we took a supercomputer and gave it millions of proven diagnoses to compare the symptoms of a patient, and even had the computer review all the MRI and other data about that patient? It would be like having all the best experts in healthcare looking at each and every patient, then sharing that information with your personal doctor or nurse, so they can help you find the best treatments, in minute and hours, not days. Its real, it works and with a little ingenuity we could make these capabilities available to consumers and healthcare professionals worldwide. This may create an opportunity for us, worldwide.
Software and systems development around new technology
Who will look at new voice-activated devices and actually make them useful for healthcare? Who will create a way for groups of doctors in a hospital to monitor the entire patient population real time, so that the best staff can be applied where needed? If a robot can build a car, move materials when needed without supervision, could these same devices improve the quality, while reducing the costs of healthcare? We have small businesses who are working today for Fortune 100 companies, and top healthcare providers to evaluate potential and implement solutions in captive environments. What if we made this profitable business our internal team while funding to reach out to new clients worldwide? This may create an opportunity for us, worldwide.
Healthcare monitoring for seniors and critical care patients
We all have parents, and for those who are fortunate enough to spend their lives with their older friends and relatives, we have the worry about their health, not just our own. We can now not just see them (telehealth, remember?) we can “plug them in” to our lives, and get them the help and support that they need by letting the “smart devices” help them, and us. Their healthcare professionals gather information that reminds them and us of the healthy living habits they need. Did Mom take her meds today? Did Dad get out for a walk? Is Uncle Bob’s weight ok, because the doctor told him to drop a few pounds? How is the blood pressure doing? Is that a rash a bug bite, or a reaction to a prescription? Imagine a very well-equipped senior living facility, where all of this is built in, and the staff actually knows how to use it! Better yet, what if Mom could stay at home, and still get daily attention at a price she (and we) can afford? All of this can be done, way past “I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up!”, and it actually works! This may create the opportunity for us, worldwide.
The Effect of Amazon, Apple, Google and others of size
We recognize it will take the investment of major market participants like Apple, Amazon, IBM, hospitals, healthcare networks, pharmacy and other providers for us to achieve critical mass in this industry. In consideration of this reality, we expect to work with these market makers in collaboration, and support of the ultimate user, the individual. We believe these large-scale providers need smaller developers in order to extend the use of their systems and services into the healthcare marketplace. The day of “direct-to-consumer” healthcare, is upon us, and we hope to be key parties to their evolution, and success.
Healthcare Industry Insight
According to a recent report published by Deloitte which examined the market for 2020 and forward, which can be found here: https://www2.deloitte.com/global/en/pages/life-sciences-and-healthcare/articles/global-health-care-sector-outlook.html health care expenditures continue to consume an increasing portion of most economies. In the U.S. health care spending increased 3.9 percent to $3.5 trillion in 2017, and now represents 17.9 percent of the U.S.’ Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”). An aging population and high levels of chronic conditions are contributing to expectations that health care expenditures will continue growing faster than the economy. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) estimates annual U.S. healthcare spending will grow at an average rate of 5.5 percent through 2026 and reach $5.7 trillion, or 19.7 percent of U.S. GDP by 2026. We believe this trajectory is unsustainable and that health care IT (“HCIT”) may play an important role in facilitating a shift from a high-cost health care system that incents volume to a proactive system that incents health, quality and efficiency.
For this change to occur, we believe traditional fee-for-service (“FFS”) reimbursement models must continue to shift to value-based approaches that are more aligned with quality, outcomes, and efficiency. The shift away from traditional FFS is evident in growth of lives covered under Accountable Care Organizations (“ACOs”). ACOs are groups of hospitals and providers that focus on providing coordinated, high quality care to Medicare, Medicaid, or commercially insured populations and then share in savings created by lowering the cost of care. According to Leavitt Partners, lives covered under ACOs grew from approximately 5 million in 2011 to more than 32 million in 2018.
In addition to the increasing number of lives covered under ACOs, the structure of ACOs is evolving to where providers are expected to assume more risk. Currently, most ACO contracts are upside only, which means providers can receive bonuses for good performance, but they assume no downside for underperformance. In 2018, CMS released a rule called “Pathways to Success” that accelerates the timeframe during which providers need to move to ACOs that include both upside bonuses and downside penalties. We believe this shift is important as assumption of risk by providers creates a strong incentive for them to improve care coordination and deliver high quality care at a lower cost.
Another step towards a value-based reimbursement models occurred with the passage of The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (“MACRA”), which enacts significant reforms to the payment programs under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule and consolidated three current value-based programs into one.
While each of the different approaches to aligning reimbursement with value will continue to evolve, we believe the trend away from traditional FFS will continue. We believe this growth in government and private models aligning payment with value, quality and outcomes will drive major changes in the way health care is provided in the next decade, and we expect a much greater focus on patient engagement, wellness and prevention. As health care providers become accountable for proactively managing the health of the populations they serve, we expect them to need ongoing investment in sophisticated information technology solutions that will enable them to predict when intervention is needed so they can improve outcomes and lower the cost of providing care.
The increasingly complex and more clinical outcomes-based reimbursement environment is also contributing to a heightened demand for revenue cycle solutions and services and a desire for these solutions and services to be more closely aligned with clinical solutions. Over the past several years, there has been a shift in the U.S. marketplace towards a preference for a single platform across inpatient and ambulatory settings. The number of physicians employed by hospitals has increased as hospitals have acquired physician groups, and health systems are recognizing the benefit of having a single patient record at the hospital and the physician office. We believe the smaller providers and regional networks of healthcare providers will be the newest users of the technologies we seek to develop.
While health care providers are showing a preference for a single platform across multiple venues, there is also an increased push for interoperability across disparate systems to address the reality that no patient's record will only have information from a single health care IT system. We believe health information should be shareable and accessible among primary care physicians, specialists, and hospital physicians.
Competition
As a publicly traded company initially focused on the acquisition of incubator, small and mid-sized companies in the U.S. and Europe, our model is not unique. Healthcare technology is an active segment of the larger economy due to the continuing change and focus on the need to reduce healthcare cost globally. Health care in the USA now accounts for about 1/6 gross domestic product. We believe, as do others, that technology is a key part of reducing the cost of care in the US and elsewhere. As such, the valuations of promising health care companies have been pushed higher and the number of interested parties, competition of businesses seeking to invest in, or wholly acquire, health care technology companies is significant. However, we believe the Company’s public holding company structure offers advantages including the internal expertise to support scale and cross boarder expansion, liquidity of equity incentives for management performance, access to additional growth capital as new opportunities present themselves, and the ability to utilize the holding company’s purchasing power for services including tax, legal, human resources, and digital marketing. These advantages may help position the Company competitively in the marketplace.
Management
We believe that the Company’s management team will remain relatively small in the near term and should consist of a team with experience in 1) public company accounting and finance, 2) software and systems, 3) brand marketing, and 4) public equities financing. Biographical and other information on our executive officers and directors is set forth in “Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers, and Corporate Governance” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Employees
As of February 1, 2020, we have three (3) full-time employees. None of our employees are represented by a union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages and we consider our relationship with our employees to be good.

Special Notice Regarding the Worldwide Covid-19 Crisis
The world economy is facing significant uncertainties as a result of the worldwide COVID-19 crisis. While we are a small company and have a limited workforce, it is likely we will face increased risk in the case that our financing needs are delayed; our acquisition targets face liquidity issues; or if our professional relationships are challenged from limited staff availability or access. We are working to created back-up service providers, financing options and alternatives to stem these potential challenges, but there can be no assurance that these actions will be effective, or timely.
Risks Related to Our Business
We have incurred operating losses and net losses, and we may not be able to achieve or subsequently maintain profitability in the future.
We incurred net losses of approximately $3,885,262 and $1,415,153 for the years ending December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
As a result of these factors, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuance is dependent on raising capital and generating revenues sufficient to sustain operations.
Any deficiencies in our financial reporting or internal controls could adversely affect our business and the trading price of our securities.
As a public company, we are required to maintain internal control over financial reporting and to report any material weaknesses in such internal controls. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we evaluate and determine the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
In the future, if we have a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, we may not detect errors on a timely basis and our financial statements may be materially misstated. In addition, our internal control over financial reporting would not prevent or detect all errors and fraud. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud will be detected.
If there are material weaknesses or failures in our ability to meet any of the requirements related to the maintenance and reporting of our internal controls, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which in turn could cause the price of our common stock to decline. Moreover, effective internal controls are necessary to produce reliable financial reports and to prevent fraud. If we have deficiencies in our internal controls, it may negatively impact our business, results of operations and reputation. In addition, we could become subject to investigations by Nasdaq, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional management attention, and which could adversely affect our business.
Developmental Stage Business
The Company has only a limited history upon which an evaluation of its prospects and future performance can be made. The Company’s present and proposed operations are subject to all business risks associated with new enterprises. The likelihood of the Company’s success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the expansion of a business, operation in a competitive industry, and the continued development of advertising, promotions and a corresponding customer base. There is a possibility that the Company could sustain losses in the future. There can be no assurances that the Company will ever retain the capital necessary to execute its plans, or to operate profitably.
Inadequacy of Funds
As part of our business model, we anticipate that we will need capital to acquire businesses, and to fund their operations and expansion. Management believes that such proceeds will be available to capitalize and sustain our business sufficiently to allow for the initial implementation of the Company’s Business Plans, but we have no definitive agreements for such at this time. If only a fraction of the funding needed, or if certain assumptions contained in Management’s business plans prove to be incorrect, the Company may have inadequate funds to fully develop its business and may need debt financing or other capital investment to fully implement the Company’s business plans.
Risks of Borrowing
If the Company incurs indebtedness, a portion of its cash flow will have to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness. Typical loan agreements also might contain restrictive covenants, which may impair the Company’s operating flexibility. Such loan agreements would also provide for default under certain circumstances, such as failure to meet certain financial covenants. A default under a loan agreement could result in the loan becoming immediately due and payable and, if unpaid, a judgment in favor of such lender which would be senior to the rights of unit holders of the Company. A judgment creditor would have the right to foreclose on any of the Company’s assets resulting in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results or financial condition.
We Need Additional Capital to Fund Our Growing Operations and Cannot Assure You That We Will Be Able to Obtain Sufficient Capital on Reasonable Terms or at All, and We May Be Faced to Limit the Scope of Our Operations
We need additional capital to fund our growing operations and if adequate additional financing is not available on reasonable terms or available at all, we may not be able to undertake expansion or continue our marketing efforts and we would have to modify our business plans accordingly. The extent of our capital needs will depend on numerous factors, including (i) our profitability; (ii) the release of competitive products and/or services by our competition; (iii) the level of our investment in research and development; (iv) the amount of our capital expenditures, including acquisitions; and (v) our growth. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain capital in the future to meet our needs.
Even if we do find a source of additional capital, we may not be able to negotiate terms and conditions for receiving the additional capital that are acceptable to us. Any future capital investments could dilute or otherwise materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing stockholders. In addition, new equity or convertible debt securities issued by us to obtain financing could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our Common Stock. We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us.
We Have a History of Significant Losses, and If We Do Not Achieve and Sustain Profitability, Our Financial Condition Could Suffer
We have experienced significant net losses, and we expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We incurred net losses of approximately $3,885,262 and approximately $1,415,153 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and as of December 31, 2019, our accumulated deficit was approximately $11,576,574.
If our revenue grows more slowly than we anticipate, or if our operating expenses are higher than we expect, we may not be able to achieve profitability and our financial condition could suffer. Even if we achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods. Whether we can achieve cash flow levels sufficient to support our operations cannot be accurately predicted. Unless such cash flow levels are achieved, we may need to borrow additional funds or sell debt or equity securities, or some combination thereof, to provide funding for our operations. Such additional funding may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
We May Not Have the Liquidity to Support Our Future Operations and Capital Requirements.
Whether we can achieve cash flow levels sufficient to support our operations cannot be accurately predicted. Unless such cash flow levels are achieved, we may need to borrow additional funds or sell debt or equity securities, or some combination thereof, to provide funding for our operations. Such additional funding may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available when needed, our financial condition and operating results would be materially and adversely affected and we may not be able to operate our business without significant changes in our operations, or at all.
We Face Risks Arising from Acquisitions
We may pursue strategic acquisitions in the future. Risks in acquisition transactions include difficulties in the integration of acquired businesses into our operations and control environment, difficulties in assimilating and retaining employees and intermediaries, difficulties in retaining the existing clients of the acquired entities, assumed or unforeseen liabilities that arise in connection with the acquired businesses, the failure of counter parties to satisfy any obligations to indemnify us against liabilities arising from the acquired businesses, and unfavorable market conditions that could negatively impact our growth expectations for the acquired businesses. Fully integrating an acquired company or business into our operations may take a significant amount of time. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in overcoming these risks or any other problems encountered with acquisitions and other strategic transactions. These risks may prevent us from realizing the expected benefits from acquisitions and could result in the failure to realize the full economic value of a strategic transaction or the impairment of goodwill and/or intangible assets recognized at the time of an acquisition. These risks could be heightened if we complete a large acquisition or multiple acquisitions within a short period of time.
Our Future Success Depends, in Part, on the Performance and Continued Service of Our Officers and Management
We presently depend to a great extent upon the experience, abilities and continued services of our management team. The loss of our management team’s services could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation. Failure to maintain our management team could prove disruptive to our daily operations, require a disproportionate amount of resources and management attention and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We Are in an Intensely Competitive Industry and There Can Be No Assurance That We Will Be Able to Compete with Our Competitors Who May Have Greater Resources
We face strong competition from competitors in the healthcare industry, including competitors who could duplicate our models. Many of these competitors may have substantially greater financial, marketing and development resources and other capabilities than us. In addition, there are very few barriers to entry into the market for our services. There can be no assurance, therefore, that any of our current and future competitors, many of whom may have far greater resources, will not independently develop services that are substantially equivalent or superior to our services. Therefore, an investment in our Company is very risky and speculative due to the competitive environment in which we may operate.
Our competitors may be able to provide customers with different or greater capabilities or benefits than we can provide in areas such as technical qualifications, past contract performance, geographic presence and price. Furthermore, many of our competitors may be able to utilize substantially greater resources and economies of scale to develop competing products and technologies, divert sales away from us by winning broader contracts or hire away our employees by offering more lucrative compensation packages. In order to secure contracts successfully when competing with larger, well-financed companies, we may be forced to agree to contractual terms that provide for lower aggregate payments to us over the life of the contract, which could adversely affect our margins. Our failure to compete effectively with respect to any of these or other factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or operating results.
Risks Specific to the Software, Systems and Technology Industries
We may incur substantial costs related to product-related liabilities. Many of our software solutions, health care devices, technology-enabled services or other services (collectively referred to as “Solutions and Services”) are intended for use in collecting, storing and displaying clinical and health care-related information used in the diagnosis and treatment of patients and in related health care settings such as registration, scheduling and billing. We attempt to limit by contract our liability; however, the limitations of liability set forth in the contracts may not be enforceable or may not otherwise protect us from liability for damages. We may also be subject to claims that are not covered by contract. Although we maintain liability insurance coverage, there can be no assurance that such coverage will cover any particular claim that has been brought or that may be brought in the future, that such coverage will prove to be adequate or that such coverage will continue to remain available on acceptable terms, if at all. A successful material claim or series of claims brought against us, if uninsured or under-insured, could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. Product-related claims, even if not successful, could damage our reputation, cause us to lose existing clients, limit our ability to obtain new clients, divert management's attention from operations, result in significant revenue loss, create potential liabilities for our clients and us and increase insurance and other operational costs.
We may be subject to claims for system errors and warranties. Our Solutions and Services are very complex and may contain design, coding or other errors, especially when first introduced. It is not uncommon for HCIT providers to discover errors in Solutions and Services after their introduction to the market. Similarly, the installation of our Solutions and Services is very complex and errors in the implementation and configuration of our systems can occur. Our Solutions and Services are intended for use in collecting, storing, and displaying clinical and health care-related information used in the diagnosis and treatment of patients and in related health care settings such as registration, scheduling and billing. Therefore, users of our Solutions and Services are less tolerant of errors than the market for other types of technologies generally. Our client agreements typically provide warranties concerning material errors and other matters. If a client's Solutions and Services fail to meet these warranties or leads to faulty clinical decisions or injury to patients, it could 1) constitute a material breach under the client agreement, allowing the client to terminate the agreement and possibly obtain a refund or damages or both, or require us to incur additional expense in order to make the Solution or Service meet these criteria; or 2) subject us to claims or litigation by our clients or clinicians or directly by the patient. Additionally, such failures could damage our reputation and could negatively affect future sales. Our client agreements generally limit our liability arising from such claims, but such limits may not be enforceable in certain jurisdictions or circumstances. Although we maintain liability insurance coverage, there can be no assurance that such coverage will cover any particular claim that has been brought or that may be brought in the future, that such coverage will prove to be adequate or that such coverage will continue to remain available on acceptable terms, if at all. A successful material claim or series of claims brought against us, if uninsured or under-insured, could materially harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We may experience interruptions at our data centers or client support facilities, which could interrupt clients’ access to their data, exposing us to significant costs and reputational harm. We perform data center and/or hosting services for certain clients, including the collection and storage of critical patient and administrative data and the provision of support services through various client support facilities. Our business relies on the secure electronic transmission, data center storage and hosting of sensitive information, including protected health information; personally, identifiable information; financial information; and other sensitive information relating to our clients and their patients, providers and certain billing information, our company, our workforce and our third party suppliers. Complete failure of all local public power and backup generators; impairment of all telecommunications lines; a successful concerted denial of service attack; a significant system, network or data breach; damage, injury or impairment (environmental, accidental or intentional) to the buildings, the equipment inside the buildings housing our data centers, the personnel operating such facilities or the client data contained therein; or errors by the personnel trained to operate such facilities could cause a disruption in operations and negatively impact clients who depend on us for data center and system support services. We may offer our clients disaster recovery services for additional fees to protect clients from isolated data center failures, leveraging our multiple data center facilities; however only a small percentage of our hosted clients choose to contract for these services. We use third party public cloud providers in connection with certain cloud-based offerings and third parties to host our own data, in which case we have to rely on such third parties to prevent service interruption and such reliance is subject to similar risks described above with respect to our own data center and hosting services.
If our IT security is breached, or if the IT security of third parties on which we rely is breached, we could be subject to increased expenses, exposure to legal claims and regulatory actions, and clients and prospective clients could be deterred from using our Solutions and Services. We are in the information technology business, and in providing our Solutions and Services, we store, retrieve, process and manage our clients’ information and data (and that of their patients), as well as our own data. We believe we have a reputation for secure and reliable Solution and Service offerings, and we have invested a great deal of time and resources in protecting the security, confidentiality, integrity and availability of our Solutions and Services and the internal and external data that we manage. Third parties attempt to identify and exploit Solution and Service vulnerabilities, penetrate or bypass our security measures, and gain unauthorized access to our or our clients’ and suppliers’ software, hardware and cloud offerings, networks and systems, any of which could lead to disruptions in mission-critical systems or the unauthorized release or corruption of personal information or the confidential information or data of our clients or their patients.
High-profile security breaches at other companies have increased in recent years, and security industry experts and government officials have warned about the risks of hackers and cyber-attacks targeting information technology products and businesses. Although this is an industry-wide problem that affects other software and hardware companies, we may be targeted by computer hackers because we are a prominent health care IT company and have high profile clients, including government clients. These risks will increase as we continue to grow our cloud offerings, collect, store and process increasingly large amounts of our clients’ confidential data, including personal health information, and host or manage parts of our clients’ businesses in cloud-based/multi-tenant IT environments. We use third party public cloud providers in connection with certain cloud-based offerings and third-party providers to host our own data, in which case we have to rely on the processes, control and security such third parties have in place to protect the infrastructure, which are subject to similar risks described above with respect to our IT security.
We continue to invest in and improve our threat protection, detection and mitigation policies, procedures and controls. In addition, we work with other companies in the industry on increased awareness and enhanced protections against cyber security threats. Because of the evolving nature and sophistication of these security threats, which can be difficult to detect, there can be no assurance that our policies, procedures and controls or those of third parties on which we rely will detect or prevent any of these threats and we cannot predict the full impact of any such past or future incident.
The costs we would incur to address and remediate these security incidents would increase our expenses, and our efforts to address these problems may not be successful and could result in interruptions, delays, cessation of service and loss of existing or potential clients that may impede our sales, development of solutions, provision of services or other critical functions. If a cyber-attack or other security incident described above were to allow unauthorized access to or modification of our clients' or suppliers' data, our own data or our IT systems, or if our Solutions or Services are perceived as having security vulnerabilities, we could suffer significant damage to our brand and reputation. This in turn could lead to fewer clients using our Solutions and Services and result in reduced revenue and earnings. These types of security incidents could also lead to lawsuits, regulatory investigations and claims and increased legal liability, including regulatory actions by state and federal government authorities and non-US authorities and, in some cases, contractual costs related to notification and fraud monitoring of impacted persons. We maintain cyber risk insurance, but this insurance may not be sufficient to cover all of our losses from any future breaches of our IT systems or those of third parties on which we rely.
Our proprietary technology may be subject to claims for infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights of others, or our intellectual property rights may be infringed or misappropriated by others. We rely upon a combination of confidentiality practices and policies, license agreements, confidentiality provisions in employment agreements, confidentiality agreements with third parties and technical security measures to maintain the confidentiality, exclusivity and trade secrecy of our proprietary information. We also rely on trademark and copyright laws to protect our intellectual property rights in the U.S. and abroad. We continue to develop our patent portfolio of U.S. and global patents, but these patents do not provide comprehensive protection for the wide range of Solutions and Services we offer. Despite our protective measures and intellectual property rights, we may not be able to adequately protect against theft, copying, reverse engineering, misappropriation, infringement or unauthorized use or disclosure of our intellectual property, which could have an adverse effect on our competitive position.
In addition, we are routinely involved in intellectual property infringement or misappropriation claims, and we expect this activity to continue or even increase as the number of competitors, patents and patent enforcement organizations in the HCIT and broader IT market increases, the functionality of our Solutions and Services expands, the use of open-source software increases and we enter new geographies and new market segments. These claims, even if unmeritorious, are expensive to defend and are often incapable of prompt resolution. If we become liable to third parties for infringing or misappropriating their intellectual property rights, we could be required to pay a substantial damage award, develop alternative technology, obtain a license or cease using, selling, offering for sale, licensing, implementing or supporting the applicable Solutions and Services.
Many of our software solutions and technology-enabled services contain open source software that may pose particular risks to our proprietary software solutions and technology-enabled services in a manner that could have a negative effect on our business. We rely upon open source software in our software solutions and technology-enabled services. The licensing terms applicable for certain open source software have not been interpreted by U.S. or foreign courts and could be construed in a manner that imposes unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to provide and support our Solutions or Services.
Additionally, we may encounter claims from third parties claiming ownership and unauthorized use of the software purported to be licensed under the open source terms, demanding release of derivative works of open source software that could include our proprietary source code, or otherwise seeking to enforce the terms of the applicable open source licenses. These claims could result in litigation and, even if unmeritorious, could be expensive to defend and incapable of prompt resolution. If we become liable to third parties for such claims, we could be required to make our software source code available under the applicable open source license, utilize or develop alternative technology, or cease using, selling, offering for sale, licensing, implementing or supporting the applicable solutions or technology-enabled services. In addition, use of certain open source software may pose greater risks than use of third-party commercial software, as most open source licensors and distributors do not provide commercial warranties or indemnities or controls on the origin of the software.
We may become involved in legal proceedings that could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. From time to time and in the ordinary course of our business, we and certain of our subsidiaries may become involved in various legal proceedings and claims, including for example, employment disputes and litigation; client disputes and litigation alleging solution and implementation defects, personal injury, intellectual property infringement, violations of law and breaches of contract and warranties; and other third party disputes and litigation alleging personal injury, intellectual property infringement, violations of law, and breaches of contracts and warranties. All such legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable and, regardless of the merits of the claims, litigation may be expensive, time-consuming and disruptive to our operations and distracting to management. If resolved against us, such legal proceedings could result in excessive verdicts, injunctive relief or other equitable relief that may affect how we operate our business.
Similarly, if we settle such legal proceedings, it may affect how we operate our business. Future court decisions, alternative dispute resolution awards, business expansion or legislative activity may increase our exposure to litigation and regulatory investigations. In some cases, substantial non-economic remedies or punitive damages may be sought. Although we maintain liability insurance coverage, there can be no assurance that such coverage will cover any particular verdict, judgment or settlement that may be entered against us, that such coverage will prove to be adequate or that such coverage will continue to remain available on acceptable terms, if at all. If we incur liability that exceeds our insurance coverage or that is not within the scope of the coverage in legal proceedings brought against us, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Non-U.S. operations are subject to inherent risks, and our business, results of operations and financial condition, including our revenue growth and profitability, could be adversely affected by a variety of uncontrollable and changing factors. These include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could materially affect our financial results. Our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. In general, the functional currency of our subsidiaries is the local currency where the subsidiary operates. For each subsidiary, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates and revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the month of the transaction. Therefore, increases or decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar against other major currencies affect our revenues, net earnings and the value of balance sheet items denominated in foreign currencies. Future fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against major currencies, could materially affect our financial results.
We are subject to tax legislation in numerous countries; changes in tax laws or challenges to our tax positions could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We are a global corporation with a presence in more than 35 countries. As such, we are subject to tax laws, regulations and policies of the U.S. federal, state and local governments and of comparable taxing authorities in other country jurisdictions. Changes in tax laws, including for example the U.S. federal tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Act”), as well as other factors, could cause us to experience fluctuations in our tax obligations and effective tax rates in 2018 and thereafter and otherwise adversely affect our tax positions and/or our tax liabilities. Although our accounting for the effects of the enactment of the Tax Act is now complete, there could be additional regulations we may become subject to. The full impact of the Tax Act on us may change significantly as regulations, interpretations and rulings relating to the Tax Act are issued and additional changes in U.S. federal and state tax laws may be made in the future. There can be no assurance that our effective tax rates, tax payments, tax credits or incentives will not be adversely affected by these or other initiatives.
In addition, U.S. federal, state and local, as well as other countries' tax laws and regulations, are extremely complex and subject to varying interpretations and requires significant judgment in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities. Longstanding international tax norms that determine each country's jurisdiction to tax cross-border international trade are evolving as a result of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting reporting requirements (“BEPS”) recommended by the G8, G20 and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”). Further, during 2018, the European Commission issued proposals and the OECD issued an interim report related to the taxation of the digital economy. As these and other tax laws and related regulations change, our financial results could be materially impacted. Given the unpredictability of these possible changes and their potential interdependency, it is very difficult to assess the overall effect of such potential tax changes, but such changes could adversely impact our financial results.
Our success depends upon the recruitment and retention of key personnel. To remain competitive in our industries, we must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled managerial, sales, marketing, consulting and technical personnel, including executives, consultants, programmers and systems architects skilled in the HCIT, health care devices, health care transactions, population health management and revenue cycle industries and the technical environments in which our Solutions and Services are offered. Competition for such personnel in our industries is intense in both the U.S. and abroad. We may also experience increased compensation costs that are not offset by either improved productivity or higher sales. Our failure to attract additional qualified personnel and to retain and motivate existing personnel to meet our needs could have a material adverse effect on our prospects for long-term growth. In addition, we invest significant time and expense in training our associates, which increases their value to clients and competitors who may seek to recruit them and increases the cost of replacing them. Our success is dependent to a significant degree on the continued contributions of key management, sales, marketing, consulting and technical personnel. Members of our senior management team have left over the years for a variety of reasons, and we cannot guarantee that there will not be additional departures. The unexpected loss of key personnel, or the failure to successfully develop and execute effective succession planning to assure smooth transitions of those key associates and their knowledge, relationships and expertise, could disrupt our business and have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition, and could potentially inhibit development and delivery of our Solutions and Services and market share advances.
We may be subject to harassment or discrimination claims and legal proceedings, and our inability or failure to respond to and effectively manage publicity related to such claims could adversely impact our business. Although our Code of Conduct and other employment policies prohibit harassment and discrimination in the workplace, in sexual or in any other form, we have ongoing programs for workplace training and compliance, and we investigate and take disciplinary action with respect to alleged violations, actions by our associates could violate those policies. And, with the increased use of social media platforms, including blogs, chat platforms, social media websites, and other forms of Internet-based communications that allow individuals access to a broad audience, there has been an increase in the speed and accessibility of information dissemination. The dissemination of information via social media, including information about alleged harassment, discrimination or other claims, could harm our business, brand, reputation, financial condition, and results of operations, regardless of the information's accuracy.
We depend on strategic relationships and third-party suppliers and our revenue and operating earnings could suffer if we fail to manage these relationships properly. To be successful, we must continue to maintain our existing strategic relationships and establish additional strategic relationships as necessary with leaders in the markets in which we operate. We believe that these relationships contribute to our ability to further build our brand, extend the reach of our Solutions and Services and generate additional revenues and cash flows. If we were to lose critical strategic relationships, this could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We license or purchase certain intellectual property and technology (such as software, services, hardware and content) from third parties, including some competitors, and depend on such third-party intellectual property and software, services, hardware and content in the operation and delivery of our Solutions and Services. Additionally, we sell or license third party intellectual property, services and software, hardware or content in conjunction with our Solutions and Services. For instance, we currently depend on Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, Cloudera, Oracle, VMWare and IBM technologies for portions of the operational capabilities of our solutions. Our remote hosting and cloud services businesses also rely on a limited number of software and services suppliers for certain functions of these businesses, such as Oracle, NetApp, Microsoft, Veritas, CITRIX, GTT and Equinix. Additionally, we will rely on companies such as Dell/EMC, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, Cisco, NetApp, IBM and others for our hardware technology platforms.
Most of our third-party software license support contracts will likely expire within one to five years, can be renewed only by mutual consent and may be terminated if we breach the terms of the license and fail to cure the breach within a specified period of time. Most of these third-party software licenses are non-exclusive; therefore, our competitors may obtain the right to use any of the technology covered by these licenses and use the technology to compete directly with us.
If any of our third party suppliers were to change product offerings, cease actively supporting the technologies, fail to update and enhance the technologies to keep pace with changing industry standards, encounter technical difficulties in the continuing development of these technologies, significantly increase prices, change delivery models, terminate our licenses or supply contracts, suffer significant capacity or supply chain constraints or suffer significant disruptions, we may need to seek alternative suppliers and incur additional internal or external development costs to ensure continued performance of our Solutions and Services. Such alternatives may not be available on attractive terms or may not be as widely accepted or as effective as the intellectual property or technology provided by our existing suppliers. If the cost of licensing, purchasing or maintaining our third-party intellectual property or technology significantly increases, our operating earnings could significantly decrease. In addition, interruption in functionality of our Solutions and Services as a result of changes in third party suppliers could adversely affect our commitments to clients, future sales of Solutions and Services, and negatively affect our revenue and operating earnings.
We intend to continue strategic business acquisitions and other combinations, which are subject to inherent risks. In order to expand our Solutions and Services offerings and grow our market and client base, we may continue to seek and complete strategic business acquisitions and other combinations that we believe are complementary to our business.
Acquisitions have inherent risks which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects, including, but not limited to: 1) failure to successfully integrate the business, culture and financial operations, services, intellectual property, solutions or personnel of an acquired business and to maintain uniform standard controls, policies, procedures and information systems; 2) diversion of our management's attention from other business concerns; 3) management of a larger company and entry into markets in which we have little or no direct prior experience; 4) failure to achieve projected synergies and performance targets; 5) failure to commercialize "go forward" Solutions and Services under development and increase revenues from existing marketed Solutions and Services; 6) loss of clients, key personnel, supplier, research and development, distribution, marketing, promotion and other important relationships; 7) incurrence of debt or assumption of known and unknown liabilities; 8) write-off of software development costs, goodwill, client lists and amortization of expenses related to intangible assets; 9) dilutive issuances of equity securities; 10) accounting deficiencies that could arise in connection with, or as a result of, the acquisition of an acquired company, including issues related to internal control over financial reporting and the time and cost associated with remedying such deficiencies; and 11) litigation arising from claims or liabilities assumed from an acquired company or that are otherwise related to acquisition activity, such as claims from former employees, former stockholders or other third parties, all of which could require us to incur significant expenses and cause management distraction. If we fail to successfully integrate acquired businesses or fail to implement our business strategies with respect to these acquisitions, we may not be able to achieve projected results or support the amount of consideration paid for such acquired businesses.
Volatility and disruption resulting from global economic or market conditions could negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our business, results of operations, financial condition and outlook may be impacted by the health of the global economy. Volatility and disruption in global capital and credit markets may lead to slowdowns or declines in client spending which could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Our business and financial performance, including new business bookings and collection of our accounts receivable, may be adversely affected by current and future economic conditions (including a reduction in the availability of credit, higher energy costs, rising interest rates, financial market volatility and lower than expected economic growth) that cause a slowdown or decline in client spending. Reduced purchases by our clients or changes in payment terms could adversely affect our revenue growth and cause a decrease in our cash flow from operations. Bankruptcies or similar events affecting clients may cause us to incur bad debt expense at levels higher than historically experienced. Further, volatility and disruption in global financial markets may also limit our ability to access the capital markets at a time when we would like, or need, to raise capital, which could have an impact on our ability to react to changing economic and business conditions. Accordingly, if global financial and economic volatility continues or worsens, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
We operate in intensely competitive and dynamic industries, and our ability to successfully compete and continue to grow our business depends on our ability to respond quickly to market changes, changing technologies and evolving pricing and deployment methods and to bring competitive new Solutions and Services and features to market in a timely fashion. The market for health care information systems, Solutions and Services to the health care industry is intensely competitive, dynamically evolving and subject to rapid technological advances and innovative enhancements, changing delivery and pricing models, evolving standards in computer hardware and software development and communications infrastructure, and changing and increasingly sophisticated client needs. Development of new proprietary Solutions or Services is complex, entails significant time and expense, may not be successful and often involves a long return on investment cycle. We cannot guarantee that the market for our Solutions and Services will develop as quickly as expected or at all or that we will be able to introduce new Solutions or Services on schedule or at all. Moreover, we cannot guarantee that errors will not be found in our new Solution releases before or after commercial release, which could result in Solution delivery redevelopment costs, harm to our reputation, lost sales, license terminations or renegotiations, product liability claims, diversion of resources to remedy errors and loss of, or delay in, market acceptance. We believe that we must continue to dedicate a significant amount of resources to our research and development efforts to maintain our competitive position; and oftentimes, successful investments require several years before generating significant revenue.
In addition, we expect that major software information systems companies, highly capitalized consumer technology companies, large information technology consulting service providers and system integrators, start-up companies and others operating in the health care industry may offer competitive Solutions and Services. As we continue to develop new Solutions and Services to address areas such as analytics, transaction services, device integration, revenue cycle and population health management, we expect to face new competitors, and these competitors may have more experience in these markets, better brand recognition and/or more established relationships with prospective clients. We face strong competition and often face downward price pressure, which could adversely affect our results of operations or liquidity. For example, some of our competitors may bundle products for promotional purposes or as a long-term pricing strategy, commit to large deployments at prices that are unprofitable, or provide guarantees of prices and product implementations. These practices could, over time, significantly constrain the prices that we can charge for certain of our Solutions and Services. If we do not adapt our pricing models to reflect changes in use of our Solutions and Services or changes in client demand, our revenues could decrease.
Additionally, the pace of change in the health care information systems market is rapid and there are frequent new software solution introductions, new deployment models (such as via the cloud), software solution enhancements, device introductions, device enhancements and evolving industry standards and requirements. We provide our cloud and other offerings to clients globally via deployment models that best suit their needs, including via our cloud-based software as a services (SaaS) offering. As our business models continue to evolve, we may not be able to compete effectively, generate significant revenues or maintain the profitability of our cloud offerings. If we do not successfully execute our strategy or anticipate the needs of our clients, our reputation as a SaaS provider could be harmed and our revenues and profitability could decline. There are a limited number of hospitals and other health care providers in the U.S. market and in recent years, the health care industry has been subject to increasing consolidation. If we are unable to recognize the impact of industry consolidation, falling costs and technological advancements in a timely manner, or we are too inflexible to rapidly adjust our business models, our prospects and financial results could be negatively affected materially.
Our success also depends on our ability to maintain and expand our business with our existing clients and effectively transition existing clients to current Solutions and Services, as well as attracting additional clients. Certain clients originally purchased one or a limited number of our Solutions and Services. These clients may choose not to expand their use of or purchase new Solutions and Services. Failure to generate additional business from our current clients could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and operating results.
If we are unable to manage our growth in the new markets in which we offer Solutions and Services, our business, results of operations and financial condition could suffer. Our future financial results will depend on our ability to profitably manage our business in the new markets that we enter. Over the past several years, we have pursued growth and expansion opportunities in the areas of analytics, revenue cycle and population health. To achieve success in those areas, we will need to, among other things, recruit, train, retain and effectively manage associates, manage changing business conditions and implement and improve our technical, administrative, financial control and reporting systems for offerings in those areas. Difficulties in managing future growth in new markets could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Long sales cycles for our Solutions and Services could have a material adverse impact on our future results of operations. Some of our Solutions and Services have long sales cycles, ranging from several months to eighteen months or more beginning at initial contact with the client through execution of a contract. How and when to implement, replace, or expand an information system, or modify, add or outsource business processes, are major decisions for health care organizations. Many of the Solutions and Services we provide require a substantial capital investment and time commitments by the client or prospective client. Any decision by our clients or prospective clients to delay a purchasing decision could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.
There are risks associated with our outstanding and future indebtedness. We have customary restrictive covenants in our current debt agreements, which may limit our flexibility to operate our business. These covenants include limitations on priority debt, liens, mergers, asset dispositions, and transactions with affiliates, and require us to maintain certain leverage and interest coverage ratios. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, could result in reduced liquidity for the Company and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, our ability to pay interest and repay the principal for our indebtedness is dependent upon our ability to manage our business operations, generate sufficient cash flows to service such debt and the other factors discussed in this section. There can be no assurance that we will be able to manage any of these risks successfully.
Changes in accounting standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other standard-setting bodies may adversely affect our financial statements. Our financial statements are subject to the application of U.S. GAAP, which is periodically revised and/or expanded. From time to time, we are required to adopt new or revised accounting standards issued by recognized authoritative bodies, including the FASB and the SEC. It is possible that future accounting standards we are required to adopt, such as amended guidance for lease accounting, may require changes to the current accounting treatment that we apply to our consolidated financial statements and may require us to make significant changes to our processes and systems. Refer to Note (1) of the notes to consolidated financial statements relating to summary of significant accounting policies and recently issued accounting pronouncements for more information. Such changes could result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Risks Related to the Health Care Industry
The health care industry is subject to changing political, economic and regulatory influences, which could impact the purchasing practices and operations of our clients and increase our costs to deliver compliant Solutions and Services. The last four years have been quite active legislatively with major statutes such as the Protecting Access to Medicare Act (PAMA) of 2014 establishing requirements for “Appropriate Use Criteria” in ordering high dollar diagnostic imaging services, the Medicare and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) of 2015 which reformed how physicians are paid under Medicare and which established the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), the 21st Century Cures Act of 2016 (Cures Act) which laid the groundwork for nationwide trusted health information exchange, established interoperability requirements for providers, payers and consumers and which set the framework for information blocking regulations, and most recently the Substance Use Disorder Prevention that Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment for Patients and Communities (SUPPORT) Act of 2018 that includes significant policies for addressing the opioid crisis. These statutes are heavily laden with provisions that directly call for or describe roles for the use of health information technology to help providers comply with new federal requirements under Medicare and for state Medicaid programs.
Many health care providers are consolidating to create integrated health care delivery systems with greater market power. These providers may try to use their market power to negotiate price reductions for our Solutions and Services. As the health care industry consolidates, our client base could be consolidated with fewer buyers, competition for clients could become more intense and the importance of landing new client relationships becomes greater.
Reform of payment policies for Medicare and Medicaid continues to evolve. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “ACA”) became law in 2010; this comprehensive health care reform legislation introduced value-based principles into federal health insurance payments systems, sought to improve health care quality, and expanded access to affordable health insurance. MACRA built upon the value-based policies introduced by the ACA. These legislative initiatives accelerated the adoption of “Alternative Payment Models” as bundled payment models based on episodes of care or per capita payment for defined populations emerged as alternatives to traditional fee for service payments to providers. Subsequent legislative, regulatory and judicial developments have created uncertainty for the continued implementation of the ACA and other health care-related legislation and, to the extent that implementation continues, the way in which they are implemented. Examples include the Medicare Shared Savings Program for Accountable Care Organizations and the Bundled Payment for Care Improvement - Advanced model program under the Innovation Center of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that focuses on episode-based payment for hospital and ambulatory services. Together with ongoing statutory and budgetary policy developments at a federal level, the collective impact of this health care reform legislation could include changes in Medicare and Medicaid payment policies and other health care delivery administrative reforms that could potentially negatively impact our business and the business of our clients. Because of that uncertainty and because of ongoing federal fiscal budgetary pressures yet to be resolved for federal health programs, we cannot predict the full effect of health care legislation on our business at this time. The direction and pace of health care reform initiatives may adversely impact either our operational results or the way we operate our business. Federal health insurance programs still routinely require adoption of certified HCIT as a program requirement or prerequisite, and we anticipate future adoption of new certification requirements. But we also anticipate possible significant impacts from information blocking provisions of the Cures Act and expanded surveillance by federal agencies of both certified HCIT and its use by our clients. CMS has also mandated updates to the electronic prescribing standards and adoption of controlled substance electronic prescribing by hospitals in response to the opioid crisis that may drive upgrades of existing HCIT investments by hospitals and physicians rather than seeking replacement. In response to this uncertainty, purchasers of HCIT may postpone investment decisions, including investments in our Solutions and Services. Future legislation and regulation may ultimately impact the fiscal stability and sustainability of HCIT purchasers. Differences in demand related to new regulatory requirements and/or near-term compliance deadlines that contribute to demand for our Solutions and Services could impact our financial results. There can be no certainty that any legislation that may be adopted will be favorable to our business. We cannot predict whether or when future health care reform initiatives at the federal or state level or other initiatives affecting our business will be proposed, enacted or implemented or what impact those initiatives may have on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The health care industry is highly regulated, and thus, we are subject to several laws, regulations and industry initiatives, non-compliance with certain of which could materially adversely affect our operations or otherwise adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. As a participant in the health care industry, our operations and relationships, and those of our clients, are regulated by several U.S. federal, state, local and foreign governmental entities. The impact of these regulations on us is both direct, to the extent that we are ourselves subject to these laws and regulations, and also indirect, in terms of government program requirements applicable to our clients for the use of HCIT and because, in a number of situations, even though we may not be directly regulated by specific health care laws and regulations, our Solutions and Services must be capable of being used by our clients in a way that complies with those laws and regulations. There is a significant and wide-ranging number of regulations both within the U.S. and abroad, such as regulations in the areas of health care fraud, information blocking, e-prescribing, claims processing and transmission, health care devices, the security and privacy of patient data and interoperability standards, that may be directly or indirectly applicable to our operations and relationships or the business practices of our clients.
Health Care Fraud is a risk. U.S. federal and state governments continue to enhance regulation of and increase their scrutiny over practices involving health care fraud, waste and abuse perpetuated by health care providers and professionals whose services are reimbursed by Medicare, Medicaid and other government health care programs. Our health care provider clients, as well as our provision of Solutions and Services to government entities, subject our business to laws and regulations on fraud and abuse which, among other things, prohibit the direct or indirect payment or receipt of any remuneration for patient referrals, or arranging for or recommending referrals or other business paid for in whole or in part by these federal or state health care programs. U.S. federal enforcement personnel have substantial funding, powers and remedies to pursue suspected or perceived fraud and abuse. The effect of this government regulation on our clients is difficult to predict. Many of the regulations applicable to our clients and that may be applicable to us, including those relating to marketing incentives offered in connection with health care device sales and information blocking, are vague or indefinite and have not been interpreted by the courts. They may be interpreted or applied by a prosecutorial, regulatory or judicial authority in a manner that could broaden their applicability to us or require our clients to make changes in their operations or the way in which they deal with us. If such laws and regulations are determined to be applicable to us and if we fail to comply with any applicable laws and regulations, we could be subject to civil and criminal penalties, sanctions or other liability, including exclusion from government health programs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Even an unsuccessful challenge by a regulatory or prosecutorial authority of our activities could result in adverse publicity, require a costly response from us and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Security and Privacy is a risk. U.S. federal, state and local and foreign laws regulate the confidentiality of personal information, how that information may be used, and the circumstances under which such information may be released. These regulations govern both the disclosure and use of confidential personal and patient medical record information and require the users of such information to implement specified security and privacy measures. U.S. regulations currently in place governing electronic health data transmissions continue to evolve and are often unclear and difficult to apply. Laws in non-U.S. jurisdictions are also evolving and may have similar or even stricter requirements related to the treatment of personal or patient information.
In the U.S., HIPAA regulations apply national standards for some types of electronic health information transactions and the data elements used in those transactions to ensure the integrity, security and confidentiality of health information and standards to protect the privacy of individually identifiable health information. Covered entities under HIPAA, which include health care organizations such as our clients, our employer clinic business and our claims processing, transmission and submission services, are required to comply with HIPAA privacy standards, transaction regulations and security regulations. Moreover, the HITECH provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”), and associated regulatory requirements, extend many of the HIPAA obligations, formerly imposed only upon covered entities, to business associates as well. As a business associate of our clients who are covered entities, we were in most instances already contractually required to comply with the HIPAA regulations as they pertain to handling of covered client data. However, the extension of these HIPAA obligations to business associates by law has created additional liability risks related to the privacy and security of individually identifiable health information.
Evolving HIPAA and HITECH-related laws and regulations in the U.S. and data privacy and security laws and regulations in non-U.S. jurisdictions could restrict the ability of our clients to obtain, use or disseminate patient information. This could adversely affect demand for our Solutions and Services if they are not re-designed in a timely manner to meet the requirements of any new interpretations or regulations that seek to protect the privacy and security of patient data or enable our clients to execute new or modified health care transactions. We may need to expend additional capital, software development and other resources to modify our Solutions and Services to address these evolving data security and privacy issues. Furthermore, our failure to maintain confidentiality of sensitive personal information in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements could damage our reputation and expose us to claims, fines and penalties.
Interoperability Standards creates potential risk. Our clients continue to be concerned and often require that our Solutions and Services be interoperable with other third party HCIT suppliers. Market forces and governmental/regulatory authorities create software interoperability standards that may apply to our Solutions and Services. If our Solutions and Services are not consistent with those standards, we could be forced to incur substantial additional development costs to conform. The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) is charged under the Cures Act with developing a Trusted Exchange Framework that establishes governance requirements for trusted health information exchange in the U.S. ONC has developed the U.S. Common Data Set for Interoperability which may lay the groundwork for future data exchange requirements for trusted exchange. ONC continues to modify and refine these standards. We may incur increased software development and administrative expense and delays in delivering Solutions and Services if we need to update our Solutions and Services to conform to these varying and evolving requirements. In addition, delays in interpreting these standards may result in postponement or cancellation of our clients' decisions to purchase our Solutions and Services. If our Solutions and Services are not compliant with these evolving standards, our market position and sales could be impaired, and we may have to invest significantly in changes to our Solutions and Services.
Risks Related to Our Common and Series X Preferred Stock; Liquidity Risks
The market prices for securities of emerging and development stage companies such as the Company have historically been highly volatile. Difficulty in raising capital as well as future announcements concerning the Company or its competitors, including the results of testing, technological innovations or new commercial products, government regulations, developments concerning proprietary rights, litigation or public concern as to safety of potential products developed by the Company or others, may have a significant adverse impact on the market price of the Company’s stock.
For the near-term, we intend to retain any remaining future earnings, if any, to finance our operations and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends with respect to our Common Stock. We have included provisions in our recently issued Series X Preferred shares to allow the dividends to be paid in common stock, or cash. This policy may cause dilution for our common stockholders.
Our Common Stock is Quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) and the OTCQB, and there is Minimal Liquidity in the Trading Market for Our Common Stock. Our Series X Preferred shares are not currently listed, and we do not intend to register or list them.
Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTCBB and the OTCQB under the symbol “TNTY”. As soon as approved by FINRA we will trade under the new stock symbol “MITI”. There has been only minimal trading of our common stock, and no assurance can be given as to when, if ever, an active trading market will develop or, if developed, that it will be sustained. As a result, investors may be unable to sell their shares of our Common Stock.
Our quarterly operating results may vary, which could adversely affect our stock price. Our quarterly operating results have varied in the past and may continue to vary in future periods, including variations from guidance, expectations or historical results or trends. Quarterly operating results may vary for a number of reasons including demand for our Solutions and Services, the financial condition of our current and potential clients, our long sales cycle, potentially long installation and implementation cycles for larger, more complex systems, accounting policy changes and other factors described in this section and elsewhere in this report. As a result of health care industry trends and the market for our Solutions and Services, a large percentage of our revenues are generated by the sale and installation of larger, more complex and higher-priced systems. The sales process for these systems is lengthy and involves a significant technical evaluation and commitment of capital and other resources by the client. Sales may be subject to delays due to changes in clients' internal budgets, procedures for approving large capital expenditures, competing needs for other capital expenditures, additions or amendments to U.S. federal, state or local regulations, availability of personnel resources or by actions taken by competitors. Delays in the expected sale, installation or implementation of these large systems may have a significant negative impact on our anticipated quarterly revenues and consequently our earnings, since a significant percentage of our expenses are relatively fixed. Because of the complexity and value of our contracts, the loss of even a small number of clients could have a significant negative effect on our financial results.
Revenue recognized in any quarter may depend upon our or our clients' abilities to meet project milestones. Delays in meeting these milestone conditions or modification of the project plan could result in a shift of revenue recognition from one quarter to another and could have a material adverse effect on results of operations for a particular quarter.
We may also experience seasonality in revenues.
The trading price of our common stock may be volatile. The market for our common stock may experience significant price and volume fluctuations in response to a number of factors including actual or anticipated variations in operating results, articles or rumors about our performance or Solutions and Services, announcements of technological innovations or new services or products by our competitors or us, changes in expectations of future financial performance or estimates of securities analysts, governmental regulatory action, health care reform measures, client relationship developments, economic conditions and changes occurring in the securities markets in general and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. For instance, our quarterly operating results have varied in the past and may continue to vary in future periods, due to a number of reasons including, but not limited to, demand for our Solutions and Services, the financial condition of our current and potential clients, our long sales cycle, potentially long installation and implementation cycles for larger, more complex and higher-priced systems, key management changes, accounting policy changes and other factors described herein. As a matter of policy, we do not generally comment on our stock price or rumors.
Furthermore, the stock market in general, and the markets for software, health care devices, other health care solutions and services and information technology companies in particular have experienced extreme volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, regardless of actual operating performance.
We cannot guarantee that our stock repurchase program or our quarterly dividend program will be fully implemented or that either will enhance long-term stockholder value.
Our Directors have authority to issue preferred stock and our corporate governance documents contain anti-takeover provisions. Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the preferences, rights and privileges of those shares without any further vote or action by the shareholders. The rights of the holders of common stock may be harmed by rights granted to the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future and issuances of preferred stock could be used to delay or hinder a change of control of the Company.
In addition, some provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws could make it more difficult for a potential acquirer to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock or otherwise effect a change of control of the Company. These include provisions that provide for a classified board of directors, require advance notice of stockholder proposals at stockholder meetings, prohibit shareholders from taking action by written consent and restrict the ability of shareholders to call special meetings. We are also subject to provisions of Delaware law that prohibit us from engaging in any business combination with any interested shareholder for a period of three years from the date the person became an interested shareholder, unless certain conditions are met, which could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control.
Our Series X Preferred Holders have Voting Control
The Series X Preferred stock we issued in December 2019 allowed us to eliminate a substantial amount of our debt at year-end. In issuing these shares we gave each holder the right to vote in an amount equal to 20,000 common shares. Because of these “super-voting rights” the holders of the Series X Preferred stock will have the ability to vote in aggregate such that they could control the Company in the near term. We intend to eliminate the Series X Preferred stock in the future, and with that we intend that the “super voting rights” will also be eliminated, but until that occurs, the Series X Preferred stockholders will have voting control over the Company, when compared to other holders.
Disclosures Relating to Low Priced Stocks; Restrictions on Resale of Low-priced Stocks and on Broker-Dealer Sale; Possible Adverse Effect of “Penny Stock” Rules on Liquidity for the Company’s Securities.
Since the Company has net tangible assets of less than $1,000,000, transactions in the Company’s securities are subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (generally, individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouses). For transactions covered by this Rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and shall receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, this Rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company’s securities and may affect the ability of shareholders to sell any of the Company’s securities in the secondary market.
Risks Related to Our Acquisition Strategy
If we do not manage our growth effectively, our revenue, business and operating results may be harmed.
Our strategy is to expand through the acquisition and through organic growth. Our acquisitions may require greater than anticipated investment of operational and financial resources. Acquisitions may also require the integration of different services, assimilation of new employees, diversion of management and IT resources, increases in administrative costs and other additional costs associated with any debt or equity financings undertaken in connection with such acquisitions. We cannot assure that any acquisition we undertake will be successful. Future growth will also place additional demands on our customer support, sales, and marketing resources, and may require us to hire and train additional employees. We will need to expand and upgrade our systems and infrastructure to accommodate our growth. The failures to manage our growth effectively will materially and adversely affect our business.
Acquisitions may subject us to liability with regard to the creditors, customers, and shareholders of the sellers.
While our acquisitions are typically structured as asset purchase agreements in which we attempt to limit our risk and exposure relative to the respective sellers’ liabilities, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in avoiding all liability. Creditors may seek to hold us accountable for seller debt and customers and for seller breaches of contract prior to our transactions. Occasionally, disaffected shareholders may attempt to interfere with our business acquisitions. We attempt to minimize all of these risks through thorough due diligence, negotiating indemnities and holdbacks, obtaining relevant representations from sellers, and leveraging experienced professionals when appropriate.
We may be unable to implement our strategy of acquiring companies.
We have no unconditional commitments with respect to any acquisition as of the date of this offering. Although we expect that one or more acquisition opportunities will become available in the future, we may not be able to acquire companies at all or on terms favorable to us. We will likely need additional financing for such acquisitions, but there is no assurance that we will be able to borrow funds or raise capital through the issuance of our equity on favorable terms. Certain of our larger, better-capitalized competitors may seek to acquire some of the companies we may be interested in. Competition for acquisitions would likely increase acquisition prices and result in us having fewer acquisition opportunities.
Depending on the type of businesses we acquire, we may have varying cost saving and/or cross-selling opportunities with the acquired business. However, there is no assurance that we will achieve anticipated cost savings and cross-selling on our acquisitions, and failure to do so may mean we overpaid for such acquisitions.
In completing any acquisitions, we will rely upon the representations and warranties and indemnities made by the sellers with respect to each acquisition as well as our own due diligence investigation. We cannot be assured that such representations and warranties will be true and correct or that our due diligence will uncover all materially adverse facts relating to the operations and financial condition of the acquired companies or their customers. To the extent that we are required to pay for obligations of an acquired company, or if material misrepresentations exist, we may not realize the expected benefit from such acquisition, and we will have overpaid in cash and/or stock for the value received in that acquisition.
Future acquisitions may result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of indebtedness and increased amortization expense.
Future acquisitions may result in dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt, the assumption of known and unknown liabilities, the write-off of software development costs and the amortization of expenses related to intangible assets, all of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

National Council for Science and the Environment, Inc. v. Trunity Holdings, Inc., Case No. 2015 CA 009726 B, Superior Court for the District of Columbia, Civil Division.
This action was filed on December 16, 2015 by the National Council for Science and the Environment, Inc. (“NCSE”) in the state court in the District of Columbia against Trunity Holdings, Inc. (“Trunity”) and alleges claims for breach of contract. Acknowledgement of indebtedness and settlement agreement and quantum merit arising out of an agreement entered into between NCSE and Trunity in 2014. The complaint seeks damages in the amount of $177,270, inclusive of attorney’s fees, costs and accrued interest, continuing interest in the amount of 12% per annum and attorney’s fees and costs of collection relating to the case. The Company, in its answer dated January 27, 2016, denied the material allegations made by NCSE, asserted a number of affirmative defenses and filed a counterclaim alleging claims for fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract and unjust enrichment. In its counterclaim, the Company sought actual and compensatory damages against NCSE that it believes exceed the amount sought by NCSE on its claims, pre-judgment interest, punitive damages and all costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by the Company in bringing its claims against NCSE.
On September 23, 2016, the Company settled this obligation with an agreement to pay $48,500 to NCSE if paid by November 4, 2016, and $75,000 if paid later. The Company has not paid the amounts as of the date of this filing and has recorded the obligation at $75,000.

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Our Common Stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) and the OTCQB under the symbol “TNTY” (which was not changed as a result of the Merger).
On March 23, 2019, the price of our common stock as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board and OTCQB was $0.03 and we have approximately 526 holders of record of our Common Stock, and a total of 1,100 shareholders including smaller holders and those with restricted shares not currently in the market.
Dividends
The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock. We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. Under Delaware law, we may declare and pay dividends on our capital stock either out of our surplus, as defined in the relevant Delaware statutes, or if there is no such surplus, out of our net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. If, however, the capital of our Company, computed in accordance with the relevant Delaware statutes, has been diminished by depreciation in the value of our property, or by losses, or otherwise, to an amount less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets, we are prohibited from declaring and paying out of such net profits and dividends upon any shares of our capital stock until the deficiency in the amount of capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets shall have been repaired. The Company does not intend to declare or pay any cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. The holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to receive only such dividends (cash or otherwise) as may be declared by the Company’s Board of Directors.
On December 31, 2019, the Company issued 26,227 shares of its Series X Preferred stock in order to settle certain of the Company’s obligations. The Series X Preferred shares have a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share and will pay a 10% per year dividend based upon the liquidation value.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
We are not required to provide the information required by this item because we are a smaller reporting company.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.
We have in development a suite of offerings aimed at enhancing healthcare throughout the supply chain as well as to consumers. We intend to acquire and implement technologies and services to improve the quality of care, reduce cost, and enhance consumer convenience. We are focused on developing a portfolio of companies that provide healthcare technology solutions and the management team is seeking to develop long-term organizational value though these acquisitions and internal development. We believe the holding company structure will facilitate profitable growth and should enable the acquired business to focus on scale. The goal of the Company’s portfolio of companies is to apply leading-edge solutions that emphasize stakeholder value and leverages distinct sector trends. Sectors of interest include artificial intelligence (AI), population health management, data gathering solutions, electronic health records optimization, healthcare IT solutions, virtual care & care augmentation, and predictive analytics. The Company has formed a holding company structure for both its acquired assets in the United States and Europe, designed to support efficiencies around taxation, legal, and economies of scale in administrative functions.
We have recently implemented a corporate structure that we believe will allow us to expand into international markets. We now have a wholly owned subsidiary in Dublin, Ireland, Acelerar Healthcare Holdings, Inc., and intend to use that location as a base for European operations. In the European community the investment in healthcare technology has been significant. In many cases, even more robust than in the North American markets. We believe that as a result of expected low economic growth in the European community, a number of businesses based there may become our targets for acquisition at attractive valuations. We believe that these businesses may benefit from the larger markets found in North America and elsewhere in the world. If these assumptions prove correct, the cost of international expansion for these businesses could be limited to marketing and product support.
We also see the European community as an opportunity for capital as we expand our business. The interest rates in this area of the world are currently very low or even at zero. As such, raising funds in the European market may prove attractive when compared to local alternatives. Further, there are equity and debt markets based in Europe that may provide liquidity to our investors, should we be able to list and trade our financial instruments in those marketplaces. We may seek a dual listing for our common stock or choose to list and trade our Preferred shares there. We believe this avenue may increase both the size and liquidity of the shareholder base.
While the Company has had limited technology development to this point, we do have a set of tools that allow data to be shared between healthcare providers, their pharmacy vendors, and with a personal healthcare records application. We believe we can quickly build and expand from this base with certain acquisitions. Beyond healthcare specific software and systems, we may choose to add a software and systems development business unit. Their clients may include other industries or application areas. We believe that cloud-based computing will continue to be the preferred approach to application development, and that technology developed for one industry may have immediate applicability in other areas including healthcare. If we are able to find a suitable candidate with this broad technology knowledge base we may add them to our healthcare focused portfolio. In doing so, we will have created a development center to both serve the internal needs of the Company while continuing to serve the needs of other clients both in and out of the health care sector. Using this approach, we would hope to create a profit center, where there would otherwise simply be a captive cost center and would use a portion of their resources for internal needs.
Our business during 2018, and going through 2019, was focused in the area of software and solutions in the healthcare sector, generally described as the healthcare technology (health-tech) market. Our initial implementation of “SimpleHIPAA”, and “SimpleHIPAA for Vets and Pets”, is intended to include data from pharmacy and prescribers, generated at the time a prescription is written. This information will be embedded inside the application and made available to the end user from both the healthcare provider and from the pharmacy. While providing a starting point for tracking healthcare information for the end user, it also establishes a communications method between the end user, the healthcare provider, and the pharmacy. This communications channel, often thought of as “telemedicine” can allow the end user to provide feedback to the healthcare provider, the pharmacy, or other parties of the end user’s choice. During the fourth quarter of 2019 we installed the solution at our first site and established a reseller agreement with that client so that they can sell the application under their own brand and create a revenue stream for the Company without further investment in cost of sales. This is a non-exclusive arrangement and we may choose to establish similar relationships with other providers in the marketplace in the future. We do not intend to build out a direct sales and marketing team for this product set, rather we intend to license the product to others who will sell and install the products.
Our holding company organization is small, and we intend to endeavor to keep the team small in number so that we are nimble to move to capitalize on opportunities, and to keep our overhead relatively low. We currently have 3 employees and a few consultants and advisors. While we do intend to add additional members to the senior management team in finance, marketing and technology, we do not expect a large-scale organization at the public holding company level in the near term. Further, if we are fortunate enough to find high quality advisors, we believe we will be better able to control the fully weighted cost of public company operations, when compared to a larger, internal staffing approach.
All of our plans are contingent on recruiting sufficient capital to provide for both our public company overhead, and to fund the acquisitions and growth needs of the target acquisitions. If we are unsuccessful in our funding efforts, the plans may stall, and even the limited overhead of the Company may require reductions.
Critical Accounting Policies
We believe that the accounting policies described below are critical to understanding our business, results of operations and financial condition because they involve the use of more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and any changes in the assumptions used in making the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur could materially impact our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605). Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606. The impact of adopting the new revenue standard was not material to our financial statements and there was no adjustment to beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2018.
Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:
● |
Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; |
● |
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract; |
● |
Determination of the transaction price; |
● |
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
● |
Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation. |
Stock-Based Compensation
We recognize compensation costs to employees under FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Under FASB ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation cost for stock options are estimated at the grant date based on each option’s fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. Share-based compensation arrangements may include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.
Equity instruments issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by FASB ASC Topic 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees. In general, the measurement date is when either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the FASB ASC.
Common Stock Purchase Warrants
The Company accounts for common stock purchase warrants in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”). As is consistent with its handling of stock compensation and embedded derivative instruments, the Company’s cost for stock warrants is estimated at the grant date based on each warrant’s fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model value method for valuing the impact of the expense associated with these warrants. All warrants for the Company have been canceled at this time.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations. No deferred tax assets or liabilities were recognized as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.
As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we must estimate our actual current tax liabilities and assess temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the balance sheet. We must assess the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, a valuation allowance must be established. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase or decrease this allowance in a period, the impact will be included in income tax expense in the statement of operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed would be separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held-for-sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the consolidated balance sheet, if material.
Business Combinations
We account for business combinations by recognizing the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies, and contingent consideration at their fair values on the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets, estimated contingent consideration payments and pre-acquisition contingencies. Examples of critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets we have acquired or may acquire in the future include but are not limited to:
● future expected cash flows from product sales, support agreements, consulting contracts, other customer contracts, and acquired developed technologies and patents
● discount rates utilized in valuation estimates
● Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results.
Additionally, any change in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date, including changes from events after the acquisition date, such as changes in our estimates of relevant revenue or other targets, will be recognized in earnings in the period of the estimated fair value change. A change in fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration or the occurrence of events that cause results to differ from our estimates or assumptions could have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations or cash flows in the period of the change in the estimate.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Since our inception, except for standard operating leases, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, including the use of structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Results of Operations
The following period-to-period comparisons of our financial results are not necessarily indicative of results for the current period of any future periods. Further, as a result of our acquisitions of our businesses, and any additional pharmacy acquisitions or other such transactions we may pursue, we may experience large expenditures specific to the transactions that are not incident to our operations.

The Convertible Note A is convertible by the holder at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at price of $1.00 per share, and throughout the duration of the note, the holder has the right to participate in any financing the Company may engage in upon the same terms and conditions as all other investors. The Company allocated the face value of the Convertible Note A to the shares and the note based on relative fair values, and the amount allocated to the shares of $18,750 was recorded as a discount against the note.
The beneficial conversion feature of $9,375 was recorded as a debt discount with an offsetting entry to additional paid-in capital decreasing the note payable and increasing debt discount.

July 2017 Note
On July 10, 2017, the Company negotiated the reclassification of $75,000 in accounts payable to a loan payable (the “July 2017 Note”). The July 2017 Note is due no later than 90 days after the receipt of a minimum of $1,000,000 of funding.

Plan of Operations
We intend to acquire a series of early stage companies into a portfolio using a “incubator” model. These will feature proven technology and services that generally has not yet scaled to size and needs resources to do so. These will be both domestic, and international and will see growth primarily from expanded marketing into new marketplaces. There is a small universe of healthcare providers. For all these people to get the services and products they need, the cost must come down, the quality must improve and access to care must increase. Core to achieving these three targets are:
1) |
As efficiency and accuracy of information-sharing for an individual’s healthcare status, diagnostics and maintenance improves, the correct care will be delivered the first time and, therefore, reduce costs; |
2) |
Innovative technology needs to be developed and funded in order to improve care quality to treat people with a fewer number of interactions within the health care system; |
3) |
Increasing the scope of care for a provider, allowing them to serve up to their full training, expertise and license, and then make those services available via in-person visits, by phone, by text, by email and by video, all to increase access to services with the least amount of delay. |
We are seeing many excellent examples of how technology can improve healthcare:
● |
Empowering people to manage their own care so that they need fewer resources from the shrinking pool of healthcare professionals; |
● |
Gathering and sharing data about a person’s healthcare needs more effectively among the relevant healthcare professionals and suppliers; |
● |
Utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data analytics to allow the healthcare professionals to work more effectively, spreading their talents across a larger pool of those who need their insights. |
Many available innovative healthcare technology companies are small. Recently founded startups lack marketing and operational knowledge to grow. We are drowning in good ideas and new ways to apply technology, but are short in teams who can scale, integrate and deploy the new technology and services. This is our opportunity.
We have assembled a team with deep experience in the application of healthcare, technology and service, to find, evaluate, integrate and grow selected businesses that fit our demanding requirements. First, they must have proof of results; tangible and measurable. Second, their technology or services must be appropriate for a segment of the population that is sizeable, and in many cases, where the population is underserved. Lastly, the companies must show an ability to grow their capabilities and their market reach, including geographically. Integrated solutions are most always more effective than those that can only operate stand-alone.
We are seeking to start with 5 or 6 in the near term and create sufficient cash flows to support both our public company overhead, and to fund operations and growth from acquired businesses.
All of our plans are contingent on recruiting sufficient capital to provide for both our public company overhead, and to fund the acquisitions and growth needs of the target acquisitions. If we are unsuccessful in our funding efforts, the plans may stall, and even the limited overhead of the Company may require reductions.

On January 30, 2020 we announced a change in our corporate headquarters from Atlanta, Georgia to Denver, Colorado.

On December 30, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company approved Director Advisory Agreements for each Company Director (each an “Agreement,” collectively the “Agreements”). Each Agreement is for one (1) year and is effective immediately.
Each Agreement has three (3) components: (i) per the Agreement, each Director shall receive a $2,000 per month stipend, except that in any month in which there is a physical meeting of all of the Board of Directors it shall be $5,000. All fees and stipends will accrue until the Company has sufficient funding to pay it in total, of which $1,000 of the stipend will get priority treatment, along with other conventional payroll obligations; (ii) each Director will receive a restricted stock allocation of 1 million shares that shall be immediately issued to the Director on his appointment (or to his assignee(s)) with certain reverse vesting provisions subject to the Directors continued standing as a Board member, such that: 1/6th of the shares shall be fully vested within 180 days, 1/6th shall be fully vested as of 6 months, 1/6th shall be fully vested as of 12 months, 1/6th shall fully vest as of 24 months, 1/6th shall fully vest as of 30 months and 1/6th shall fully vest as of 36 months. If the Director has remained a member of the Board continuously through 36 months, the individual shall own 1 million shares of restricted stock with no further reverse vesting provisions. The restricted common stock issuances are considered appropriate additional annual compensation for active board duties. All share grants will be subject to Rule 144 and will have a six-month holding period according to the Securities Act. If the Director leaves the Board during this 6-month holding period, then any shares not previously relieved of the reverse vesting provisions will be rescinded. The Company retains the right to issue these shares via a Stock Option program upon filing of the S-8 rather than issue restricted stock.
The Agreements further provide that any of the Directors may be removed on a vote of the majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors, as well as the terms of the Company's Bylaws, Articles of Incorporation and under the Delaware General Corporate Law (DGCL).
Resignation of Doug Cole

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of True Nature Holding, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of True Nature Holding, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 14 to the financial statements, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are described in Note 14. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2019
Note 1 – Organization, Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations
True Nature Holding, Inc. (the “Company” or “True Nature”), previously known as Trunity Holdings, Inc., became a publicly-traded company through a reverse merger with Brain Tree International, Inc., a Utah corporation (“BTI”) in 2012. BTI was incorporated on July 26, 1983 to specialize in the development of high technology products or applications including, but not limited to, electronics, computerized technology, new technological product fields, and precious metals. Trunity Holdings, Inc. was the parent company of the prior educational business, named Trunity, Inc., which was formed on July 28, 2009 through the acquisition of certain intellectual property by its three founders.
True Nature Holding, Inc. is a corporation organized under the laws of the state of Delaware with principal offices located in Denver, Colorado. On January 16, 2016, the Company effected a reverse split of 1 for 101, such that all holders of 101 shares of common stock issued and outstanding prior to the effective date of the reverse split would own 1 share of common stock upon the effect date of the reverse split. In addition, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation (i) to increase its authorized capital stock to 510,000,000 shares which consists of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share and (ii) to change its name from Trunity Holdings, Inc. to True Nature Holding, Inc. (there was no change in the stock symbol “TNTY”).
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of True Nature Holding, Inc. as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Going Concern
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had cash in the amount of $83,245, current liabilities of $2,419,285, and has incurred a loss from operations. True Nature Holding’s principal operation is the acquisition of compounding pharmacy companies. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding to execute its business plan.
As a result of these factors, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuance is dependent on raising capital and generating revenues sufficient to sustain operations. The Company believes that the necessary capital will be raised and has entered into discussions to do so with certain individuals and companies. However, as of the date of these consolidated financial statements, no formal agreement exists.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts classified as liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be forced to take any such actions.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting – The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Use of Estimates - The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment.
Cash - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $83,245 and $1,304 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Property, Plant, and Equipment - Property and equipment is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount, and is depreciated using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life. Property acquired in a business combination is recorded at estimated initial fair value. Property, plant, and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term based upon the following life expectancy:
|
|
Years |
|
Office equipment |
|
|
3 to 5 |
Furniture & fixtures |
|
|
3 to 7 |
Machinery & equipment |
|
|
3 to 10 |
Leasehold improvements |
|
|
Term of lease |
Revenue Recognition – On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605). Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606. The impact of adopting the new revenue standard was not material to our financial statements and there was no adjustment to beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2018.
Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:
● |
identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; |
● |
identification of the performance obligations in the contract; |
● |
determination of the transaction price; |
● |
allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
● |
recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation. |
Stock-Based Compensation – We recognize the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation cost for stock options is estimated at the grant date based on each option’s fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. Share-based compensation arrangements may include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.
Equity instruments issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments. In general, the measurement date is when either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant.
Convertible Instruments – The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments to determine whether there are conversion features or embedded derivative instruments including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. In circumstances where the convertible instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including conversion options that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single compound instrument. Also, in connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, the Company may issue free standing warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity. When convertible debt or equity instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for separately, the total proceeds allocated to the convertible host instruments are first allocated to the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instrument. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the convertible instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face amount. When the Company issues debt securities, which bear interest at rates that are lower than market rates, the Company recognizes a discount, which is offset against the carrying value of the debt. Such discount from the face value of the debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income. In addition, certain conversion features are recognized as beneficial conversion features to the extent the conversion price as defined in the convertible note is less than the closing stock price on the issuance of the convertible notes.
Derivative Financial Instruments- Derivatives are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The
conversion features of the convertible notes are embedded derivatives and are separately valued and accounted for on the consolidated balance sheet with changes in fair value recognized during the period of change as a separate component of other income/expense. Fair values for exchange-traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. The pricing model the Company uses for determining the fair value of its derivatives is the Lattice Model. Valuations derived from this model are subject to ongoing internal and external verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest rates and stock price volatilities.
The following assumptions were used for the valuation of the derivative liability related to the convertible notes that contain a derivative component during the year ended December 31, 2019:
|
- |
The stock prices of $0.0807 to $0.0220 in these periods would fluctuate with the Company projected volatility; |
|
- |
The projected volatility curve from an annualized analysis for each valuation period was based on the historical volatility of the Company and the term remaining for each note or warrant ranged from 129.7% through 318.2% at derivative treatment, issuance, conversion, exercise, and quarters ends. The Company continues to trade with high volatility; |
|
- |
The Holder would automatically convert the note at the maximum of 2 times the conversion price if the company was not in default. |
|
- |
The Holder would automatically convert the note before maturity if the registration was effective and the company was not in default. The Holder would automatically convert the note early based on ownership or trading volume limitations and the Company would redeem the unconverted balances at maturity. |
|
- |
A change of control and fundamental transaction would occur initially 0% of the time and increase monthly by 0% to a maximum of 0% – based on management being in control and no desire to sell the Company. |
|
- |
A reset event would adjust the Notes conversion price triggered by either a capital raise, stock issuance, settlement, or conversion/exercise. (A reset occurred in this period on November 7, 2019 – Auctus Conversion triggered a reset to $0.00858). The reset events are projected to occur on 3 months following the date of valuation of December 31, 2019. |
|
- |
For the variable rate Notes (39% or 45% discount), the Holder would convert with effective discount rates of 43.49% to 55.98% (based on the lookback terms). |
|
- |
The Company would redeem the notes at maturity if the conversion value was less than the payment with penalties. During the period redemption is projected 0% of the time, increasing 0% per month to a maximum of 0%. |
|
- |
The cash flows are discounted to net present values using risk free rates. Discount rates were based on risk free rates in effect based on the remaining term. |
|
- |
An event of default would occur 10% of the time, increasing 0% per month to a maximum of 10%. |
|
- |
No Warrants expired during the period. |
|
- |
Auctus exercised warrants November 19, 2019 on a cashless basis. |
Common Stock Purchase Warrants – The Company accounts for common stock purchase warrants in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”). As is consistent with its handling of stock compensation and embedded derivative instruments, the Company’s cost for stock warrants is estimated at the grant date based on each warrant’s fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model value method for valuing the impact of the expense associated with these warrants.
Stockholders’ Equity – Shares of common stock issued for other than cash have been assigned amounts equivalent to the fair value of the service or assets received in exchange. Common stock share and per share amounts in these financial statements have been adjusted for the effects of a 1 for 101 reverse stock split that occurred in January 2016.
Per Share Data – Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive) related to warrants, options and convertible instruments.
The Company has excluded all common equivalent shares outstanding for warrants, options and convertible instruments to purchase common stock from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because all such securities are antidilutive for the periods presented. In November 2019, in order to settle a dispute, the Company agreed to issue 3,514,900 shares of common stock for the cashless conversion of 312,500 warrants; these shares were issued during the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company also agreed to issue an additional 1,000,000 shares for the conversion of 312,500 warrants; these shares have not been issued as of December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding 1,112,500 warrants exercisable into a total of 1,800,000 shares of common stock; at December 31, 2018, the Company had outstanding and 1,167,653 warrants exercisable into a total of 1,167,653 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had 67,879 stock options outstanding.
Income Taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than possible enactments of changes in the tax laws or rates.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has determined that a valuation allowance is needed due to recent taxable net operating losses, the sale of profitable divisions and the limited taxable income in the carry back periods. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and certain tax loss carryforwards, less any valuation allowance.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions as required in that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is recognized in the consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company does not have any material unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as components of interest expense and other expense, respectively, in arriving at pretax income or loss. The Company does not have any interest and penalties accrued. The Company is generally no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income tax examinations for the years before 2012.
Business Combinations – The Company accounts for business combinations by recognizing the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies, and contingent consideration at their fair values on the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets, estimated contingent consideration payments and pre-acquisition contingencies. Examples of critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets we have acquired or may acquire in the future include but are not limited to:
● |
future expected cash flows from product sales, support agreements, consulting contracts, other customer contracts, and acquired developed technologies and patents; and |
● |
discount rates utilized in valuation estimates. |
Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results. Additionally, any change in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date, including changes from events after the acquisition date, such as changes in our estimates of relevant revenue or other targets, will be recognized in earnings in the period of the estimated fair value change. A change in fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration or the occurrence of events that cause results to differ from our estimates or assumptions could have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations or cash flows in the period of the change in the estimate.
Impairment of Long – Lived Assets - Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed would be separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held-for-sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the consolidated balance sheet, if material. No impairment losses have been realized for the periods presented.
Financial Instruments and Fair Values – The fair value of a financial instrument represents the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based upon relevant market information about the financial instrument. In determining fair value, we use various valuation methodologies and prioritize the use of observable inputs. We assess the inputs used to measure fair value using a three-tier hierarchy based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market:
Level 1 – inputs include exchange quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable.
Level 2 – inputs include brokered and/or quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs such as interest rates.
Level 3 – inputs include data not observable in the market and reflect management judgment about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The use of observable and unobservable inputs and their significant in measuring fair value are reflected in our hierarchy assessment. The carrying amount of cash, prepaid assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Because cash and cash equivalents are readily liquidated, management classifies these values as Level 1. The fair value of the debentures approximates their book value as the instruments are short-term in nature and contain market rates of interest.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842): Accounting for Leases. This update requires that lessees recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that are measured at the present value of the future lease payments at lease commencement date. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will largely remain unchanged and shall continue to depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. We have performed a comprehensive review in order to determine what changes were required to support the adoption of this new standard. We adopted the ASU and related amendments on January 1, 2019. We elected the optional transition method that allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption and will not restate prior periods. We had no leases in place during the year ended December 31, 2019, and the implementation of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on our financial statements.
In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230). The update addresses eight specific cash flow issues and is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This update was effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within the reporting period. We implemented this standard effective January 1, 2018, and there was no material effect on our financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, current U.S. GAAP requires the performance of procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, the amendments under this ASU require the goodwill impairment test to be performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The ASU becomes effective for us on January 1, 2020. The amendments in this ASU will be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on our financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Stock Compensation - Scope of Modification Accounting, which provides guidance on which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The ASU requires that an entity account for the effects of a modification unless the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if used), vesting conditions and classification (as equity or liability) of the modified award are all the same as for the original award immediately before the modification. We implemented this standard effective January 1, 2018, and there was no material effect on our financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07 “Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to non-employees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to non-employees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
There are various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 6 – Derivative Liabilities
Certain of the Company’s convertible notes contain conversion features that create derivative liabilities. The pricing model the Company uses for determining fair value of its derivatives is the Lattice Model. Valuations derived from this model are subject to ongoing internal and external verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest rates and stock price volatilities. Selection of these inputs involves management’s judgment and may impact net income. The derivative components of these notes are valued at issuance, at conversion, at restructure, and at each period end.
Derivative liability activity for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 is summarized in the table below:

Note 11 – Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under standards issued by the FASB. Under those standards, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax benefits or consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized through future operations.
No provision for federal income taxes has been recorded due to the available net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $5,696,695 will expire in various years through 2036. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the future tax loss carry forwards.
The actual income tax provisions differ from the expected amounts calculated by applying the statutory income tax rate to the Company’s loss before income taxes. The components of these differences are as follows at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies
Legal
Stress Free Capital, Inc. vs. True Nature Holdings, Inc. Case No. CACE-18-0108656
Pursuant to a judgment rendered in the Seventeenth Judicial District I and for Broward County, Florida, the Company in June 2019 issued 1,401,224 shares of common stock in complete settlement of a note payable to the plaintiff in the aggregate amount of $84,073.48. As such we have no further obligations related to this matter.
National Council for Science and the Environment, Inc. v. Trunity Holdings, Inc., Case No. 2015 CA 009726 B, Superior Court for the District of Columbia, Civil Division.
This action was filed on December 16, 2015 by the National Council for Science and the Environment, Inc. (“NCSE”) in the state court in the District of Columbia against Trunity Holdings, Inc. (“Trunity”) and alleges claims for breach of contract. Acknowledgement of indebtedness and settlement agreement and quantum meruit arising out of an agreement entered into between NCSE and Trunity in 2014. The complaint seeks damages in the amount of $177,270, inclusive of attorney’s fees, costs and accrued interest, continuing interest in the amount of 12% per annum and attorney’s fees and costs of collection relating to the case. The Company, in its answer dated January 27, 2016, denied the material allegations made by NCSE, asserted a number of affirmative defenses and filed a counterclaim alleging claims for fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract and unjust enrichment. In its counterclaim, the Company sought actual and compensatory damages against NCSE that it believes exceed the amount sought by NCSE on its claims, pre-judgment interest, punitive damages and all costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by the Company in bringing its claims against NCSE.
On September 23, 2016, the Company settled this obligation with an agreement to pay $48,500 to NCSE if paid by November 4, 2016, and $75,000 if paid later. The Company has not paid the amounts as of the date of this filing and has recorded the obligation at $75,000.

Randstad General Partner (US) LLC D/B/A Tatum
A former service provider of the Company has filed an action in Georgia to collect the amount of $44,365 for services provided to the Company. On October 18, 2018, the Superior Court of Fulton County, State of George issued an Order & Final Judgment against the Company in the amount of $44,365 plus an additional $11,001 of accrued interest. On July 3, 2019 the Company settled this matter with a $5,000 payment made by a shareholder for the benefit of the Company, and the Company recorded a gain on settlement in the amount of $50,366. As such we have no further obligations related to this matter.
Note 14 – Financial Condition and Going Concern
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had cash in the amount of $83,245, current liabilities of $2,419,285, and has incurred a loss from operations. True Nature Holding’s principal operation is the acquisition of compounding pharmacy companies. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding to execute its business plan.
As a result of these factors, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuance is dependent on raising capital and generating revenues sufficient to sustain operations. The Company believes that the necessary capital will be raised and has entered into discussions to do so with certain individuals and companies. However, as of the date of these consolidated financial statements, no formal agreement exists.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts classified as liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be forced to take any such actions.
Note 15 – Subsequent Events
Special Notice Regarding the Worldwide Covid-19 Crisis
The world economy is facing significant uncertainties as a result of the worldwide COVID-19 crisis. While we are a small company and have a limited workforce, it is likely we will face increased risk in case that our financing needs are delayed, our acquisition targets face liquidity issues, and if our professional relationships are challenged from limited staff availability or access. We are working to created back-up service providers, financing options and alternatives to stem these potential challenges, but there can be no assurance that these actions will be effective, or timely.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Board has determined these were deemed not effective and has undertaken to address the shortcomings by:
a. adding additional and more qualified staff;
b. asking for specific direction from the company’s accountants and auditors;
c. reviewing structure and procedures implemented by similarly situated publicly held companies; and
d. changes in process prior to any further acquisition or financing activity.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013 Framework). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the interim or annual financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The Company’s management notes that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2019.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The material weaknesses identified during our annual audit for 2018 were (i) lack of segregation of duties, (ii) lack of sufficient resources with SEC, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), especially with regards to equity based transactions and tax accounting expertise; (iii) inadequate security over information technology, and (iv) lack of formal Control procedures related to the approval of related party transactions. Accordingly, management has determined that these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses.
Because of these material weaknesses, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. This report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal controls over financial reporting. The disclosure contained under this Item 9A was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only the disclosure under this Item 8A in this annual report.
We believe that the material weaknesses as reported will eventually be fully remediated, upon being properly capitalized to hire the proper personnel for segregation of duties and SEC and GAAP accounting knowledge.
Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management has identified what it believes are material weaknesses in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. The deficiencies in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures resulted in failures to timely file periodic reports within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
The deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures included (i) lack of segregation of duties and (ii) lack of sufficient resources to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits to the SEC are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (iii) lack of formal Control procedures related to the approval of related party transactions.
The Company intends to take corrective action to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company pursuant to the reports that the Company files or submits to the SEC is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes general voting power and/or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options or warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the record date, and shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of other securities currently convertible or convertible within 60 days, are deemed outstanding for computing the beneficial ownership percentage of the person holding such securities but are not deemed outstanding for computing the beneficial ownership percentage of any other person. Under the applicable SEC rules, each person’s beneficial ownership is calculated by dividing the total number of shares with respect to which they possess beneficial ownership by the total number of outstanding shares. In any case where an individual has beneficial ownership over securities that are not outstanding but are issuable upon the exercise of options or warrants or similar rights within the next 60 days, that same number of shares is added to the denominator in the calculation described above. Because the calculation of each person’s beneficial ownership set forth in the “Percentage Class” column of the table may include shares that are not presently outstanding, the sum total of the percentages set forth in such column may exceed 100%. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each of the following persons is 7535 East Hampden Avenue, Suite 400, Denver, CO 80231, and, based upon information available or furnished to us, each such person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite his, her or its name.
Equity Compensation Plan Information
We have not established formal equity compensation arrangements for our directors. Compensation payable to each individual for his or her service on our board of directors is determined from time to time by our board of directors based upon the amount of time expended and other contributions by each of the directors on our behalf.
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Director Independence
We do not have securities listed on a national securities exchange or in an inter-dealer quotation system. As such, there is no requirement that a majority of the members of our Board of Directors be independent.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
The following table presents fees billed for professional audit services rendered by M&K CPAS, PLLC, the Company’s current principal accounting firm for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements for 2017, as well as any fees for previous independent audit firms associated with the Company for the reviews of the quarterly financial statements for 2019 and 2018.
