SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

 

As used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Annual Report”) , unless indicated or the context requires otherwise, the terms the “Company”, “Mitesco” or “MITI” refer to Mitesco, Inc.

 

In addition to historical information, this Annual Report contains forward looking statements. The forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the sections entitled “Business”, “Risk Factors”, and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s opinions only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision of these forward-looking statements. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in this Annual Report and in other documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”).

 

You can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “proposed,” “intended,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. You should read statements that contain these words carefully, because they discuss our expectations about our future operating results or our future financial condition or state other “forward-looking” information. There may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or control. You should be aware that the occurrence of any of the events described in these risk factors and elsewhere in this Annual Report could substantially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition, and that upon the occurrence of any of these events, the trading price of our securities could decline. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, growth rates, levels of activity, performance or achievements.

 

Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this Annual Report.

 

We cannot give any guarantee that these plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those factors described in the “Risk Factors” section of this Annual Report. Moreover, new risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all risks on our business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this Annual Report are based on information available to us on the date of this Annual Report. Except to the extent required by applicable laws or rules, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained throughout this Annual Report.

 

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 create 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.

 

Summary Risk Factors

 

Our business and our ability to execute our business strategy are subject to a number of risks of which you should be aware of before you decide to invest in our Company. The following is a summary of our key risks. A more detailed description of each of the risks can be found below in Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

 

Risks Related to our Financial Condition

 

 

We are in the early stages of our business plan and have limited or no historical performance on which to base an investment decision, and may never become profitable.

 

 

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

 

If we are unable to generate significant revenue we may need to raise additional capital which may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

 

 

We may incur additional debt in the future which may contain restrictive covenants.

 

 

We do not have sufficient cash flow to support our future operations and capital requirements.

 

 

The issuance of additional shares of our common stock, or securities convertible into shares of our common stock, may dilute the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders and may make it more difficult to raise additional capital.

 

Risks Related to our Business

 

 

We are currently focused on a new business model and have very limited operating history and limited information and therefore our business may be difficult to evaluate.

 

 

We may become involved in legal proceedings.

 

 

Our industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance we will successfully compete with our competitors who may have greater resources and experience than us.

 

 

We do not have any registered trademarks or trade names.

 

 

We are dependent on the successful development, marketing and advertising efforts of our clinics and telehealth services.

 

 

The telehealth market is immature and volatile and may never develop, or may develop more slowly than we expect, may encounter negative e publicity or we may be unable to compete effectively.

 

 

Rapid technological change in our industry present us with significant risks and challenges.

 

 

We may be unable to attract and retain sufficient numbers of qualified personnel.

 

 

We may not manage our strategy effectively.

 

 

We have identified weaknesses in our internal controls and it cannot be assured that these weaknesses will be effectively remediated or that we will not have additional material weaknesses in the future.

 

Risks Related to Government Regulation

 

 

If the statutes and regulations in our industry change we could be negatively impacted.

 

 

The impact on our planned operations by recent and future healthcare legislation and other changes in the healthcare industry and in healthcare spending is unpredictable and volatile.

 

 

We are subject to federal Anti-Kickback Statutes and Federal Stark Law.

 

 

We must comply with Health Information Privacy and Security Standards.

 

 

A breach in our cyber security could cause a violation of our obligations under HIPAA, a breach of customer and patient privacy or may have other negative consequences.

 

 

 

We are subject to Environmental and Occupational Safety and Health Administration Regulations and other federal and state healthcare laws.

 

 

Changes in healthcare laws could create an uncertain environment.

 

 

Our revenues may depend on our patients’ receipt of adequate reimbursement from private issuers and government sponsored healthcare programs.

 

 

Future regulatory programs remain uncertain.

 

Risks Related to Acquisitions

 

 

Acquisitions may subject us to liability with regard to the creditors, customers, and shareholders of the sellers.

 

 

We may be unable to implement our strategy or acquiring companies.

 

 

Future acquisitions may result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, incurrence of additional indebtedness and increased amortization expenses.

 

 

We face risks arising from acquisitions that we may pursue in the future.

 

Risks Related to our Management

 

 

We have a lack of full-time employees which may negatively impact our operation, the implementation of our business plan and our profitability.

 

 

We do not have a segregated audit or compensation committee which may force shareholders to rely on our Board of Directors who are not independent to perform those functions.

 

 

Our success is dependent, in part, on the performance and continued service of certain of our officers and directors.

 

 

A significant portion of our voting securities is owned and controlled by our executive officer and certain key stockholders and they therefore maintain significant control over the company and the outcome of matters put to a stockholder vote.

 

Risks Related to our Common Stock

 

 

Our common stock is a penny stock and therefore trading may be restricted under current securities rules and regulations.

 

 

Because our common stock is considered a “penny stock” the protections provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward-looking statements does not apply to us.

 

 

We are subject to ongoing SEC reporting requirement and any deficiencies in our financial reporting or internal controls could adversely affect us.

 

 

Our common stock is thinly traded and may prevent you from selling at or near asking prices, if at all.

 

 

We do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the near future, therefore investors will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them at a higher price than their purchase price.

 

 

FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our common stock or Series B Preferred Stock.

 

 

Our officers and directors have voting control over all matters submitted to a vote of our common stockholder, which limits or prevents minority stockholders from controlling any of our future operations.

 

 

PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

Company Overview

 

Mitesco, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), previously known as True Nature Holding, Inc., which was 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 completed a “spin out” transaction of our educational business line to our shareholders as of December 31, 2015. On April 24, 2020, we changed our name to Mitesco, Inc.

 

We are working to open primary care clinics around the US that are located in residential centers and leverage the expertise, training and license of Nurse Practitioners. We are focusing on wellness as a core of the practice. Our mission is to increase convenience and access to care, improve the quality of care, and reduce its cost. Technology is a key part to our approach to deliver on these three goals. We recognize the essential nature of the clinician client relationship and its importance to achieving these superior outcomes. Our view is that technology must enhance these human interactions, not operate independently. As such, we are seeking innovative technologies that enable both consumers and clinicians to achieve more convenient and better outcomes with greater efficiency.

 

We have opened our flagship primary care clinic in North East Minneapolis, MN. We plan to open an additional 5 to 7 clinics in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota and then continue expansion in the Denver, Colorado area. We target to open clinics in residential concentrations of population to enhance the convenience, which we believe will be well received by customers due to the changes in community travel patterns resulting from the pandemic. Our clinicians use both telehealth (virtual) and in-person visits to treat and coach the clients along their journey to better health and quality of life. Our clinics are led by Nurse Practitioners that use their license, extensive training, expertise and empathy to try to help people remain stable or improve their health. We emphasize wellness, beginning with a client‘s co-developed plan that identifies from where a person is starting and constructs a plan for how they can achieve their goals. The practice uses an integrated health approach that includes an assessment of both the individual’s behavioral and physical health and combines this with their activation level and their goals. The clinic offers wellness coaching, behavioral health care, episodic care, dermatologic services, and supplements. We seek to care for the whole person’s needs.

 

Like the first clinic, we seek to locate clinics convenient to residential centers. In pursuit of this approach, we plan to continue to expand our relationship with Lennar Corporation and other developers. We plan to mirror this approach within the two Lennar locations with which we have signed letters of intent to build clinics in the residential developments in Denver. By locating in close proximity we expect to be able to build the client panel more quickly than typical for primary care practices.

 

Additionally. we have implemented a corporate structure that we believe allows us to expand into international markets. We have a wholly owned subsidiary in Dublin, Ireland, Acelerar Healthcare Holdings, Ltd. We intend to use this 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 technology 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.

 

Operational Overview

 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we have focused on establishing medical clinics utilizing nurse practitioners and telemedicine technology under “The Good Clinic” name. Our strategy is to utilize a mix of nurse practitioners and telemedicine technology in clinics to improve patient experiences and outcomes and reduce healthcare costs as compared to other available treatment options.

 

 

Our Business and Related Matters

 

In March 2020, we formed The Good Clinic LLC, a Colorado limited liability company for our clinic business. We entered into an agreement with James Woodburn, Kevin Lee Smith, Michael Howe and Rebecca Hafner-Fogarty to establish a series of clinics utilizing nurse practitioners and telemedicine technology in states where full practice authority for nurse practitioners is supported. We issued 4,800 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock to these individuals as compensation. Subsequent to December 31, 2020, these shares were cancelled in consideration of an issuance of 600,000 shares of restricted common stock in aggregate, and as a result there are no shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of the date of this filing.

 

We entered into service agreements with each of these individuals and appointed them to serve as management of The Good Clinic, LLC:

 

 

Michael C. Howe is the Chief Executive Officer of The Good Clinic, LLC. Mr. Howe has successfully grown consumer facing businesses, including the business now known as MinuteClinic, acquired by CVS in 2006. As CEO of the new business unit, Mr. Howe brings 30+ years of consumer and healthcare experience including Minute Clinic, Arby’s Restaurants and Verify Brand.

 

 

Rebecca Hafner-Fogarty, MD, MBA, FAAFP is the Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Hafner brings valuable consumer health experience including senior roles at MinuteClinic as well as Zipnosis. Dr. Hafner-Fogarty is an experienced primary care physician, served on the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice for many years, and has deep expertise in regulatory and policy issues in telemedicine and other healthcare innovation.

 

 

Kevin Lee Smith DNP, FNP, FAANP is the Chief Nurse Practitioner Officer with previous experiences include founding MinuteClinic and providing early-stage informatics leadership at Zipnosis. Mr. Smith has also been an active primary care Nurse Practitioner and served in faculty positions at the University of Minnesota throughout his career

 

 

Jim Woody Woodburn, MD, MS is the President & Chief Operating Officer and has been key to the success of organizations including MinuteClinic, Applied Pathways (Acquired by Anthem AIM in 2017) and several other venture capital-funded companies. In addition to his experience as an Emergency and Occupational Medicine physician leader, he was Medical Director at BCBS of MN and led employee health and wellness programs for over 12 years. Mr. Woodburn led the successful clinical expansion for MinuteClinic including the scalable provider ownership model and clinical quality management.

 

Recent Developments

 

On February 1, 2021, we opened our first clinic in Northeast Minneapolis, Minnesota.

 

In August 2020, we identified our first clinic location in Minneapolis, Minnesota. From May to December 2020, we entered into various business commitments including construction, lease of space, marketing and technology development for this location. Our total cost for the development of this location was approximately $750,000. This location is an approximately 3,000 square foot facility located in a 600-unit high rise residential development managed by Lennar Corporation. This location of The Good Clinic plans to employ 8 persons including 3 nurse practitioners. This location opened to patients on February 1, 2021.

 

On March 14, 2021, the Board of Directors appointed Philip Keller its Chief Financial Officer. In connection with Mr. Keller’s appointment as Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Lawrence Diamond will no longer serve as the Company’s Interim Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Diamond will continue to lead the Company’s growth and development as Chief Executive Officer and as a Director of the Board.

 

Target Locations

 

We are in the process of identifying strategic new locations for The Good Clinic TM facilities. We anticipate initial expansion of 5 to 8 clinics in The Twin Cities of Minnesota. We then expect to expand in Colorado and then Florida with a goal of having 50 units operating by 2024. We are targeting expansion states experiencing a shortage of available primary care providers within the 36 states that support near or fully independent practice by nurse practitioners.

 

 

Consumer research has clearly identified that consumers want convenience. As such, we are seeking to locate clinics within more residential urban and suburban locations with higher density of population. We plan to initially target locations in partnership with larger national residential developers and narrow network insurance providers.

 

The Good Clinic facilities are expected to be developed in 3 sizes. They are planned to be 3,000 – 3,500 square feet with 3 to 5 nurse practitioners, 1,250 – 2,000 square feet with 2 to 3 nurse practitioners, and small telehealth hubs staffed by a single nurse practitioner. The Nurse Practitioners practicing will be the primary care providers at these clinics. The Good Clinic will offer the following medical services:

 

 

Full-spectrum family practice services;

 

 

Flu and other vaccines;

 

 

Advanced Electronic Medical Records (EMR) that enables rapid, accurate and consistent medical documentation and protocols, safety features, follow-up planning and billing information;

 

 

Drug Testing;

 

 

Wellness programs and lifestyle education;

 

 

Nutritional planning and weight control programs;

 

 

Laboratory services including on-site testing and referral testing to major outsource lab companies;

 

 

Blood pressure, temperature, pulse rates, EKG and pulmonary testing;

 

 

Women’s Health; and

 

 

Occupational health services including treatment of work injuries, pre-employment exams, drug testing, company sponsored flu shots and education programs for workers.

 

Patient Scheduling

 

We offer scheduling protocols to facilitate our client’s ability to schedule appointments that meet their busy schedules or to come without appointment when unplanned sickness or injuries occur. For sudden sickness and minor injuries, we provide an alternative to hospital emergency rooms which often have long waits and excessive costs. The Good Clinics will open Monday through Friday from 8 am to 7 pm and Saturday from 9 am to 2 pm. The Good Clinics will provide its patients with the ability to access their practitioners seven days a week through clinic and virtual visits. We plan to offer customized hours and open access as alternatives for business clients seeking occupational services for their employees. We plan to own and lease certain medical equipment.

 

Connectivity Between Locations

 

Upon having multiple locations, we plan to have connectivity between the clinics so that our future patients can access their information for treatment or prescriptions at any of our available facilities and online via telehealth. When you work with The Good Clinic, we will know who you are and what you want and need.

 

Serving the Market

 

We believe there is a looming shortage of primary care providers in the United States. Approximately 23 States in the U.S. allow Nurse Practitioners to operate as fully independent primary care providers. Another 13 allow Nurse Practitioners broad autonomy in providing Primary Care services. By using nurse practitioners, we plan to focus on direct patient care, patient education and helping people to manage their health more effectively. The Good Clinics are designed to improve access to basic affordable primary care and empower nurse practitioners to function as healthcare providers. According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, Nurse Practitioners are compensated 40% less than their physician counterparts. Additionally, 30,000 Nurse Practitioners graduate each year making the necessary expertise readily available.

 

 

Like any consumer-focused business, locating a clinic is one-part art and one-part science. We evaluate concentration of primary care practices within the zip code and examine average wait-times for appointments and ensure the local markets are already using Nurse Practitioners as primary care providers. We are seeking the previous measures to be present in cities with higher population concentrations. We focus on convenience that includes locations in close proximity to residential centers, adequate parking, good retail visibility in higher traffic areas and the presence of other retail businesses close by.

 

Billing and Payment

 

The Good Clinics bills health insurance companies for allowed medical services and accepts payment in cash or credit cards for client selected and non-covered services. We will also explore partnering with local businesses to provide near-site employer clinics for physicals, virus testing, and occupational health services.

 

Marketing

 

We plan to generate business for The Good Clinics through a combination of partnerships with residential developers and local marketing and advertising, direct sales of occupational medical services to companies (flu shots, workers injury treatment services, drug testing, and health promotion programs), public relations efforts with local charities, city and county organizations, hospitals and medical providers, networking and promotional events and open houses. We are using internal marketing including brochures, posters, magazines, health promotion articles, and educational materials that point to our services. Upon having a new patient, we plan to initiate client follow-up and schedule return visits. To assure broad access of insured clients in the medical service area, we plan to participate in contracts with health insurance providers, and the Medicare program, making The Good Clinics services fully reimbursable for its clients.

 

The Good Clinic is about delivering a convenient individualized care experience built on education, expertise and empathy. We are the patient’s partner in obtaining quality and affordable medical care. The Good Clinic supports patient care with both in-clinic and telehealth visits.

 

Healthcare Industry Insight

 

According to a recent report published by Deloitte which examined the market for 2020 and forward (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, 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 time frame 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 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, 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, we believe 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

 

The market for healthcare solutions including walk in clinics and telehealth services is intensely competitive. We compete in a highly fragmented primary care market with direct and indirect competitors that offer varying levels of impact to key stakeholders such as patients and employers. Our competitive success is contingent on our ability to simultaneously address the needs of key stakeholders efficiently and with superior outcomes at scale compared with competitors. We compete with walk-in clinics, traditional healthcare providers and medical practices, technology platforms, care management and coordination, digital health, telehealth and telemedicine and health information exchange. Competition in our market involves rapidly changing technologies, evolving regulatory requirements and industry expectations, frequent new product and service introductions and changes in customer and patient requirements. If we are unable to keep pace with the evolving needs of our clients, members and partners and continue to develop and introduce new applications and services in a timely and efficient manner, demand for our solutions and services may be reduced and our business and results of operations would be harmed.

 

Our business is highly dependent on completing our clinics and gaining patients and customers in our target markets. However, the healthcare market is competitive, which could make it difficult for us to succeed. We face competition in the healthcare industry for our solutions and services from a range of companies and providers, including traditional healthcare providers and medical practices that offer similar services. These competitors primarily include primary care providers who are employed by or affiliated with health networks. Our indirect competitors also include episodic consumer-driven point solutions such as telemedicine as well as urgent care providers. Generally, urgent care providers in the local communities we will provide services similar to those we intend to offer, and, our competitors (1) are more established than we are, (2) may offer a broader array of services or more desirable facilities to patients and providers than ours, and (3) may have larger or more specialized medical staffs to admit and refer patients, among other things.

 

Our competitors may have greater name recognition, longer operating histories and significantly greater financial and other resources than we do. Further, our current or potential competitors may be acquired by third parties with greater available resources. As a result, our competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or patient requirements and may have the ability to initiate or withstand substantial price competition. In addition, current and potential competitors have established, and may in the future establish, cooperative relationships with vendors of complementary technologies or services to increase the availability of their solutions in the marketplace. Accordingly, new competitors or alliances may emerge that have greater market share, a larger member or patient base, more widely adopted proprietary technologies, greater marketing expertise, greater financial resources and larger sales forces than we have, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage. Our competitors could also be better positioned to serve certain segments of the healthcare market, which would limit our member and patient growth. In light of these factors, even if our solution is more effective than those of our competitors, current or potential members, health network partners and enterprise clients may accept competitive solutions in lieu of purchasing our solution. If we are unable to compete in the healthcare market, our business would be harmed.

 

 

In the future, we expect to encounter increased competition from system-affiliated hospitals and healthcare companies, as well as health insurers and private equity companies seeking to acquire providers, in specific geographic markets. We also face competition from specialty hospitals (some of which are physician-owned), primary care providers and outpatient centers for market share in high margin services and for quality providers and personnel. Furthermore, some of the clinics and medical offices that compete with us may be government agencies or not-for-profit organizations supported by endowments and charitable contributions and can finance capital expenditures and operations on a tax-exempt basis. Competitors may also be better positioned to contract with leading health network partners in our target markets, including existing markets after our current contracts expire. If our competitors are better able to attract patients, contract with health network partners, recruit providers, expand services or obtain favorable managed care contracts at their facilities than we are, we may experience an overall decline in member volumes and net revenue. There is no assurance we will be able to compete in the markets in which we plan to operate which could cause you to lose your investment.

 

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.

 

Human Capital

 

We anticipate maintaining a relatively small corporate staff and employ the majority of our human capital in our subsidiaries. As of March 22, 2021, Lawrence Diamond serves as our Chief Executive Officer and director and Phillip Keller serves as our Chief Financial Officer. Our subsidiary, The Good Clinic, LLC, employs three people in professional positions and 4 consultants serve in managerial and development capacities for the clinic business. We have partnered with several key vendors that are national in scope to meet the anticipated growth rate for building and opening clinics. We are currently recruiting additional clinical staff to serve the anticipated expanding clinic client demand. The Good Clinic continues to develop an extensive employee training program that will ensure compliance with all federal, state and local regulations as well as enable the team all have the expertise, knowledge, skills, and training to deliver the full scope of services offered to clients at the clinic, in person and virtually.

 

Our innovative approach towards delivering primary care is attracting many clinicians wanting to join the team. Additionally, we believe that the reputation of the founders from their work growing Quickmedix (aka MinuteClinic) and their work at schools of nursing and industry and trade associations is helping to deliver many experienced potential employees.

 

We also use the services of additional advisors and consultants on an as needed basis to perform outsourced tasks. 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.

 

Research and Development

 

The research to date for The Good Clinic was primarily conducted by present management of The Good Clinic, Michael C. Howe, Rebecca Hafner-Fogarty, Kevin Lee Smith and Jim “Woody” Woodburn. Our Board of Directors and management also conducted research and development including accessing third party research reports, competitor analyses, review of prior professional experiences, and interviews with industry experts and potential partners. We did not incur any research and development costs during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

Intellectual Property

 

In August 2020, we applied for trademark protection of “The Good Clinic”, with the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO).

 

Property

 

We lease office and conference room space on an as needed basis under a month-to-month agreement. We believe this is sufficient for our present needs.

 

 

On October 19, 2020, we entered into a lease agreement for approximately 3,038 square feet of retail space located at 307 1st Avenue, NE, Minneapolis, Minnesota for the establishment of the first location of The Good Clinic (the “Nordhaus Lease”). The Nordhaus Lease is for a term of 90 months commencing May 1, 2021; pursuant to the terms of the Nordhaus Lease, the Company took possession of the leased premises on November 3, 2020. The average monthly base rent over the 90-month term of the Nordhaus Lease is $5,321. The Nordhaus Lease contains one option for the Company to extend the term for a period of 60 months. As the Company moves forward in its expansion plans it expects to have similar lease commitments for each of its clinic sites.

 

Government Regulation

 

The healthcare industry is a heavily regulated industry by both federal and state governments. We are subject to other federal and state healthcare laws that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We operate in a highly regulated and evolving environment with rigorous regulatory enforcement. Any legal or regulatory action could be time-consuming and costly. If we or the manufacturers or distributors that supply our products fail to comply with all applicable laws, standards, and regulations, action by regulatory agencies could result in significant restrictions. Any regulatory action could have a negative impact on us and materially affect our reputation, business and operations. The U.S. healthcare industry has undergone significant changes designed to improve patient safety, improve clinical outcomes, and increase access to medical care. These changes include enactments and repeals of various healthcare related laws and regulation. Our operations and economic viability may be adversely affected by the changes in such regulations, including: (i) federal and state fraud and abuse laws; (ii) federal and state anti-kickback statutes; (iii) federal and state false claims laws; (iv) federal and state self-referral laws; (v) state restrictions on fee splitting; (vi) laws regarding the privacy and confidentiality of patient information; and (vii) other laws and government regulations.

 

If there are changes in laws, regulations, or administrative or judicial interpretations, we may have to change our future business practices, or our business practices could be challenged as unlawful, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. See the “Risk Factors” section of this Annual Report.

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 cannot predict with any certainty whether and to what degree the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and reactions thereto will continue and expect to face difficulty in developing our business and building our planned clinics. It is not possible for us to accurately predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on our business, results of operations or financial condition at this time, but such effects may be material. The COVID-19 pandemic may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks identified elsewhere in this section.

 

 

Risks Related to our Financial Condition

 

We are in the early stages of our present business plan and have a limited or no historical performance for you to base an investment decision upon, and we may never become profitable.

 

We have only a limited history and a new business plan upon which an evaluation of our prospects and future performance can be made. Our planned operations are subject to all business risks associated with new companies. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the establishment of a new business, operation in a competitive industry. There is a possibility that we could sustain losses in the future. There can be no assurances that we will ever operate profitably.

 

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our limited operating history, history of losses and financial resources, and if we are unable to generate significant revenue or secure financing, we may be required to cease or curtail our operations.

 

We have a long history of losses and incurred net losses of $2.9 million and $3.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We have nominal revenues from our operations. The Report of our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm issued in connection with our audited financial statements for the calendar year ended December 31, 2020 expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, due to the fact that we have recurring operating losses and our lack of liquidity and working capital. The Company’s continuance is dependent on raising capital and generating revenues sufficient to sustain operations. We have not generated revenues from our present business plan. If we generate revenue more slowly than we anticipate, or if our operating expenses are higher than we expect, we may not be able to pay our operating expenses or achieve profitability and our financial condition could suffer. Whether we can achieve cash flow levels sufficient to support our operations cannot be accurately predicted. Unless such cash flow levels are achieved, we will need to borrow additional funds or sell debt or equity securities, or some combination thereof, to obtain funding for our operations. Such additional funding may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

 

We may incur additional debt in the future which may contain restrictive covenants and impair our operating flexibility.

 

Because we have no revenue and limited cash on hand, we must seek funds for our operational plans. If we incur additional indebtedness in the future, a portion of the cash flow we generate, if any, will be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on outstanding indebtedness. Typical loan agreements also might contain restrictive covenants, which may impair our 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 our stockholders. A judgment creditor would have the right to foreclose on our limited assets resulting in a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

We need additional capital to fund our operations and cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain sufficient capital on reasonable terms or at all, and we may be forced to limit the scope of our operations.

 

We need additional capital to implement and fund our operations. We estimate we will require approximate net proceeds of $650,000 to open one clinic and an additional up to $250,000 to operate the clinic for a period of one year. If we are not able to obtain adequate financing on reasonable terms or if it is not available at all, we will be unable to open and acquire medical clinics and we would have to modify our business plans accordingly. The extent of our capital needs will depend on numerous factors, including (i) the availability and terms of any financing available to us; (ii) the opening of medical clinics by our competitors in the geographic areas where we plan to operate; (iii) the level of our investment in research and development; (iv) the amount of our capital expenditures, including acquisitions; and (v) regulations applicable to our operations. 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 do not have cash flow to support our future operations and capital requirements.

 

We have no cash flow from operations. Whether we can achieve cash flow to support our operations in the future 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.

 

The issuance of additional shares of our common stock, convertible notes, convertible Preferred Stock and other convertible securities may dilute the percentage ownership of the then-existing stockholders and may make it more difficult to raise additional equity capital.

 

As of March 22, 2021, there are outstanding options and warrants to purchase 14,312,879 and 0 shares of common stock, respectively. In addition, we have outstanding notes that convert into 54,127 shares of common stock, and dividends on the Preferred X stock is convertible into an additional 32,477 shares of common stock. The exercise of such options and warrants and conversion of convertible securities would dilute the then-existing stockholders’ percentage ownership of our stock, and any sales in the public market of common stock underlying such securities could adversely affect prevailing market prices for the common stock. Moreover, the terms upon which we would be able to obtain additional equity capital could be adversely affected because the holders of our options and warrants can be expected to exercise them at a time when we would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital on terms more favorable to us than those provided by such securities.

 

Risks Related to our Business.

 

Our business is difficult to evaluate because we are currently focused on a new business model and have very limited operating history and limited information.

 

We recently engaged in a new business model for our clinics in the United States. We have opened our first clinic in March 2020 in Minneapolis and if successful, we intend to expand and open new clinics. There is a risk that we will be unable to successfully generate revenue from this new business model and that we will be unable to enter into additional clinics or that any additional clinics that we enter into will be on favorable terms. We are subject to many risks associated with this new business model. There is no assurance that our activities will be successful or will result in any revenues or profit. Even if we generate revenue, there can be no assurance that we will be profitable. We are subject to the risks inherent to the operation of a new business enterprise, and cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully address these risks.

 

We may become involved in legal proceedings that could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

By operating in the health care industry, we will face an inherent business risk of exposure to personal injury claims. We plan to obtain liability insurance in the future; however, we do not have liability insurance coverage to protect us from such claims. A successful personally liability claim, or series of claims brought against us, in excess of our insurance coverage, would negatively impact our 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.

 

During March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 crisis, the federal government announced plans to offer loans to small businesses in various forms, including the Payroll Protection Program, or "PPP", established as part of the Corona Virus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. On April 18, 2020, the Company’s former President and COO completed and submitted an application on behalf of the Company to Bank of America, NA (“Bank of America”) for a PPP loan, which was subsequently approved. On April 25, 2020 the Company entered into an unsecured Promissory Note (the “Note”) with Bank of America for a loan in the original principal amount of $460,000, and the Company received the full amount of the loan proceeds on May 4, 2020.

 

 

On July 21, 2020, Bank of America notified the Company in writing that it should not have received $440,000 of the loan proceeds disbursed under the Note. The Company investigated the terms of the application and discovered its former President had erroneously represented it was refinancing an Economic Injury Disaster Loan when no such loan had been received. Bank of America has requested that the Company remit the funds received back to Bank of America. The Company is attempting to negotiate a payment plan with Bank of America plan. If we are not successful in negotiating repayment terms, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

 

During management's review of the Company’s recent PPP loan application after the loan had been disbursed to the Company, it was determined that the information provided by Ms. Julie R. Smith, the Company’s former President and COO, was not accurate. After consulting with legal counsel, the Board of Directors voted to remove Ms. Smith from its Board of Directors, and all other capacities due to the misstatements she made in the loan application. Subsequent to that decision, effective July 1, 2020, Ms. Smith submitted a resignation from all positions with the Company, which was accepted by the Board and management. Ms. Smith subsequently retained counsel and has indicated her intent to file an administrative charge of discrimination in Colorado under certain provisions of the anti-discrimination laws of that state. On August 18, 2020, the Company received formal notice that a complaint has been filed with the Colorado Civil Rights Division by Ms. Smith naming the Company as the Respondent. The Company believes the claims are frivolous and intends to vigorously defend against the allegations. As of the date of this filing the Company has been advised that the Colorado Civil Rights Division has dismissed this matter effective March 1, 2021. Ms. Smith requested a “Right-to-Sue” letter, which she received, giving her a right to sue in District Court for 90 days from the date of the dismissed action.

 

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.

 

We are in an intensely competitive industry and there is no assurance we will be able to compete with our competitors who have greater resources than us.

 

While the telehealth market is in an early stage of development, it is competitive and we expect it to attract increased competition, which could make it difficult for us to succeed. We also expect to face competition for our planned medical clinics using nurse practitioners. We currently face competition in the telehealth industry from a range of companies, including specialized software and solution providers that offer similar solutions, often at substantially lower prices, and that are continuing to develop additional products and becoming more sophisticated and effective. In addition, large, well-financed health systems have in some cases developed their own telehealth tools and may provide these solutions to their customers and patients at discounted prices. The surge in interest in telehealth, and in particular the relaxation of HIPAA privacy and security requirements, has also attracted new competition from providers who utilize consumer-grade video conferencing platforms such as Zoom and Twilio. Competition from large software companies or other specialized solution providers, communication tools and other parties could result in continued pricing pressures, which is likely to lead to price declines in certain product segments, which could negatively impact our sales, profitability and market share.

 

The market for healthcare solutions including walk-in clinics and services is intensely competitive. We compete in a highly fragmented primary care market with direct and indirect competitors that offer varying levels of impact to key stakeholders such as patients and employers. Our competitive success is contingent on our ability to simultaneously address the needs of key stakeholders efficiently and with superior outcomes at scale compared with competitors. We compete with walk-in clinics, traditional healthcare providers and medical practices, technology platforms, care management and coordination, digital health, telehealth and telemedicine and health information exchange. Competition in our market involves rapidly changing technologies, evolving regulatory requirements and industry expectations, frequent new product and service introductions and changes in customer and patient requirements. If we are unable to keep pace with the evolving needs of patients and continue to develop and introduce new applications and services in a timely and efficient manner, demand for our solutions and services may be reduced and our business and results of operations would be harmed.

 

 

Because we are a new business, our competitors may have greater name recognition, longer operating histories and significantly greater resources than we do. Further, our current or potential competitors may be acquired by third parties with greater available resources. As a result, our competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or customer and patient requirements and may have the ability to initiate or withstand substantial price competition. In addition, current and potential competitors have established, and may in the future establish, cooperative relationships with vendors of complementary services, technologies or services to increase the availability of their solutions in the marketplace. Accordingly, new competitors or alliances may emerge that have greater market share, a larger customer base, more widely adopted proprietary technologies, greater marketing expertise, greater financial resources and larger sales forces than we have, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage.

 

Our competitors could also be better positioned to serve certain segments of the telehealth market and medical clinic markets, which could create additional price pressure. In addition, many healthcare provider organizations are consolidating to create integrated healthcare delivery systems with greater market power. As provider networks and managed care organizations consolidate, thus decreasing the number of market participants, competition to provide products and services like ours could become more intense, and the importance of establishing and maintaining relationships with key industry participants could increase. These industry participants may try to use their market power to negotiate price reductions for our products and services. In light of these factors, even if our solution is more effective than those of our competitors, current or potential clients may accept competitive solutions in lieu of purchasing our solution. If we are unable to successfully compete in the telehealth market, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

 

Our business and future growth are highly dependent on completing our clinics and gaining patients in our target markets. However, the healthcare market is competitive, which could make it difficult for us to succeed. We will face competition in the healthcare industry for our solutions and services from a range of companies and providers, including traditional healthcare providers and medical practices that offer similar services. These competitors primarily include primary care providers who are employed by or affiliated with health networks. Our indirect competitors also include episodic consumer-driven point solutions such as telemedicine as well as urgent care providers. Generally, urgent care providers in the local communities we will serve provide services similar to those we intend to offer, and, our competitors (1) are more established than we are, (2) may offer a broader array of services or more desirable facilities to patients and providers than ours and (3) may have larger or more specialized medical staffs to admit and refer patients, among other things.

 

In the future, we expect to encounter increased competition from system-affiliated hospitals and healthcare companies, as well as health insurers and private equity companies seeking to acquire providers, in specific geographic markets. We also face competition from specialty hospitals (some of which are physician-owned), primary care providers and outpatient centers for market share in high margin services and for quality providers and personnel. Furthermore, some of the clinics and medical offices that compete with us may be supported by government agencies or not-for-profit organizations supported by endowments and charitable contributions and can finance capital expenditures and operations on a tax-exempt basis. Competitors may also be better positioned to contract with leading health network partners in our target markets. If our competitors are better able to attract patients, contract with health network partners, recruit providers, expand services or obtain favorable managed care contracts at their facilities than we are, we may experience an overall decline in member volumes and net revenue. There is no assurance we will be able to successfully compete in the markets in which we plan to operate which could cause you to lose your investment.

 

Our lack of registered trademarks and trade names could potentially harm our business.

 

We have applied for trademark protection of “The Good Clinic” name but such protection is pending and not yet granted. Trademarks and trade names distinguish the various companies from each other. If our potential future customers are unable to distinguish our future clinics and telehealth services from those of other companies, we could lose sales and distributors to our competitors. We do not have any registered trademarks and trade names, so we only have common law rights with respect to infractions or infringements on our products. Many subtleties exist in product descriptions, offering and names that can easily confuse distributors and customers. This presents a risk of losing potential customers looking for our products and buying someone else’s because they cannot differentiate between them.

 

The success of our planned business depends on our ability to develop, market and advertise our clinics and telehealth services.

 

Our ability to establish effective marketing and advertising campaigns for any clinics and telemarketing services we develop is important to our success. If we are unable to establish awareness of our brands and services, we may not be able to attract customers and generate revenue, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

 

The telehealth market is immature and volatile, and if it does not develop, if it develops more slowly than we expect, if it encounters negative publicity or if our services are not competitive, the growth of our business will be harmed.

 

We recently opened our first clinic in Minneapolis and plan to open additional clinics and there is no assurance we will successfully do this. The telehealth market is relatively new and unproven, and it is uncertain whether it will achieve and sustain high levels of demand, consumer acceptance and market adoption. Our success will depend to a substantial extent on the willingness of patients to use, and to increase the frequency and extent of their utilization of, our services, as well as on our ability to demonstrate the value of telehealth to employers, health plans, government agencies and other purchasers of healthcare for beneficiaries. Negative publicity concerning us, or the telehealth market as a whole could limit market acceptance of our services. If our patients do not perceive the benefits of our services, or if our services are not competitive, then our business may not develop at all and we may not generate revenue, or it may develop more slowly than we expect. Similarly, individual and healthcare industry concerns or negative publicity regarding patient confidentiality and privacy in the context of telehealth could limit market acceptance of our healthcare services. If any of these events occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

Rapid technological change in our industry presents us with significant risks and challenges.

 

The telehealth market is characterized by rapid technological change, changing consumer requirements, short product lifecycles and evolving industry standards. Our success will depend on our ability to enhance our solution with next-generation technologies and to develop or to acquire and market new services to access new consumer populations. There is no guarantee that we will possess the resources, either financial or personnel, for the research, design and development of new applications or services, or that we will be able to utilize these resources successfully and avoid technological or market obsolescence. Further, there can be no assurance that technological advances by one or more of our competitors or future competitors will not result in our present or future software-based products and services becoming uncompetitive or obsolete.

 

The business model’s success requires location of clinics that are convenient to consumers both physically and virtually. Performance of the business can be adversely affected by locating clinic in less than ideal locations relative to their convenience to consumers or due to unavailability of reliable internet services to support telehealth. The telehealth market is characterized by rapid technological change, changing consumer requirements, short product lifecycles and evolving industry standards. Our success will depend on our ability to enhance our solution with next-generation technologies and to develop or to acquire and market new services to access new consumer populations. There is no guarantee that we will possess the resources, either financial or personnel, for the research, design and development of new applications or services, or that we will be able to utilize these resources successfully and avoid technological or market obsolescence. Further, there can be no assurance that technological advances by one or more of our competitors or future competitors will not result in our present or future software-based products and services becoming uncompetitive or obsolete.

 

Failure to attract and retain sufficient numbers of qualified personnel could also impede our future plans.

 

If we are unable to implement our plan of operations effectively, it will have a material adverse effect on our ability to generate revenue. The evolving nature of our business and rapid changes in the healthcare industry make it difficult to anticipate the nature and amount of medical reimbursements, third-party private payments, and participation in certain government programs and thus to reliably predict our operating results. Our strategy may incur significant costs, which could adversely affect our financial condition. Our plan to enter into strategic transactions involves significant costs, including financial advisory, legal and accounting fees, and may include additional costs for items such as fairness opinions and severance payments. We do not have revenue to pay these costs which could adversely affect our overall financial condition.

 

We must attract and retain sufficient medical professional employees to operate and execute our service model and growth plan even though there is a limited number of qualified medical professionals. If we fail to do so, performance of the business will be adversely impacted. If we are unable to implement our plan of operations effectively, it will have a material adverse effect on our ability to generate revenue. The evolving nature of our business and rapid changes in the healthcare industry make it difficult to anticipate the nature and amount of medical reimbursements, third-party private payments, and participation in certain government programs and thus to reliably predict our operating results.

Our plan to enter into strategic transactions involves significant costs, including financial advisory, legal and accounting fees, and may include additional costs for items such as fairness opinions and severance payments. We do not have revenue to pay these costs which could adversely affect our overall financial condition.

 

 

If we do not manage our strategy effectively, our revenue, business and operating results may be harmed.

 

We have not yet generated revenues from our present operations and may not do so for an indefinite period of time. Our strategy is to operate walk-in clinics, provide telemedicine and acquire complimentary business in the future. 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 you that any acquisition we undertake will be successful. Future growth will also place additional demands on our resources and may require us to hire and train additional employees. We will need to expand and acquire systems and infrastructure to accommodate our planned operations. The failure to implement our plan of operations and manage any future growth effectively will materially and adversely affect our business.

 

We have identified weaknesses in our internal controls, and we cannot provide assurances that these weaknesses will be effectively remediated or that additional material weaknesses will not occur in the future.

 

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time consuming and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems and resources.

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting.

 

We do not yet have effective disclosure controls and procedures, or internal controls over all aspects of our financial reporting. We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we will file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

 

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. 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 our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses identified to date include (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. As such, our internal controls over financial reporting were not designed or operating effectively.

 

We will be required to expend time and resources to further improve our internal controls over financial reporting, including by expanding our staff. However, we cannot assure you that our internal control over financial reporting, as modified, will enable us to identify or avoid material weaknesses in the future.

 

We have not yet retained sufficient staff or engaged sufficient outside consultants with appropriate experience in GAAP presentation, especially of complex instruments, to devise and implement effective disclosure controls and procedures, or internal controls. We will be required to expend time and resources hiring and engaging additional staff and outside consultants with the appropriate experience to remedy these weaknesses. We cannot assure you that management will be successful in locating and retaining appropriate candidates; that newly engaged staff or outside consultants will be successful in remedying material weaknesses thus far identified or identifying material weaknesses in the future; or that appropriate candidates will be located and retained prior to these deficiencies resulting in material and adverse effects on our business.

 

Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business, including increased complexity resulting from our international expansion. Further, weaknesses in our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting may be discovered in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls, or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and may result in a restatement of our financial statements for prior periods. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could also adversely affect the results of management reports and independent registered public accounting firm audits of our internal control over financial reporting that we will eventually be required to include in our periodic reports that will be filed with the SEC. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information, which would likely have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.

 

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to audit the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until after we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our internal control over financial reporting is documented, designed or operating. Any failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting could have a material and adverse effect on our business and operating results, and cause a decline in the market price of our common stock.

 

Risks Related to Government Regulation

 

If the statutes and regulations in our industry change, our business could be adversely affected.

 

The U.S. healthcare industry has undergone significant changes designed to improve patient safety, improve clinical outcomes, and increase access to medical care. These changes include enactments and repeals of various healthcare related laws and regulation. Our operations and economic viability may be adversely affected by the changes in such regulations, including: (i) federal and state fraud and abuse laws; (ii) federal and state anti-kickback statutes; (iii) federal and state false claims laws; (iv) federal and state self-referral laws; (v) state restrictions on fee splitting; (vi) laws regarding the privacy and confidentiality of patient information; and (vii) other laws and government regulations.

 

If there are changes in laws, regulations, or administrative or judicial interpretations, we may have to change our future business practices, or our business practices could be challenged as unlawful, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

The impact on our planned operations of recent healthcare legislation and other changes in the healthcare industry and in healthcare spending is currently unknown, but may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The impact on us of healthcare reform legislation and other changes in the healthcare industry and in healthcare spending is currently unknown, but may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our revenue is dependent on the healthcare industry and could be affected by changes in healthcare spending, reimbursement and policy. The healthcare industry is subject to changing political, regulatory and other influences. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (the “Affordable Care Act” or the “ACA”) in 2010 made major changes in how healthcare is delivered and reimbursed, and increased access to health insurance benefits to the uninsured and underinsured population of the United States.

 

Since its enactment, there have been judicial and Congressional challenges to certain aspects of the ACA as well as recent efforts by the current administration to repeal or replace certain aspects of the ACA. For example, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was enacted, which includes a provision repealing, effective January 1, 2019, the tax-based shared responsibility payment imposed by the ACA on certain individuals who fail to maintain qualifying health coverage for all or part of a year that is commonly referred to as the “individual mandate.” Since the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, there have been additional amendments to certain provisions of the ACA, and we expect the current administration and Congress will likely continue to seek to modify all, or certain provisions of, the ACA. It is uncertain the extent to which any such changes may impact our business or financial condition. Congress may consider other legislation to repeal and replace elements of the ACA. In December 2019, a federal appeals court held that the individual mandate portion of the ACA was unconstitutional and left open the question whether the remaining provisions of the ACA would be valid without the individual mandate. We continue to evaluate the effect that the ACA and its possible modification or repeal and replacement has on our business. It is uncertain the extent to which any such changes may impact our business or financial condition.

 

Other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the ACA was enacted. These changes include aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year pursuant to the Budget Control Act of 2011 and subsequent laws, which began in 2013 and will remain in effect through 2029 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was signed into law, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several types of providers, including hospitals, imaging centers and cancer treatment centers, and increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. New laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which may materially adversely affect customer demand and affordability for our products and services and, accordingly, the results of our financial operations. Additional changes that may affect our business include the expansion of new programs such as Medicare payment for performance initiatives for physicians under the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) which first affected physician payment in 2019. At this time, it is unclear how the introduction of the Medicare quality payment program will impact overall physician reimbursement.

 

 

Such changes in the regulatory environment may also result in changes to our payer mix that may affect our operations and revenue. In addition, certain provisions of the ACA authorize voluntary demonstration projects, which include the development of bundling payments for acute, inpatient hospital services, physician services and post-acute services for episodes of hospital care. Further, the ACA may adversely affect payers by increasing medical costs generally, which could have an effect on the industry and potentially impact our business and revenue as payers seek to offset these increases by reducing costs in other areas. Certain of these provisions are still being implemented and the full impact of these changes on us cannot be determined at this time.

 

Uncertainty regarding future amendments to the ACA as well as new legislative proposals to reform healthcare and government insurance programs, along with the trend toward managed healthcare in the United States, could result in reduced demand and prices for our services. We expect that additional state and federal healthcare reform measures will be adopted in the future, any of which could limit the amounts that federal and state governments and other third-party payers will pay for healthcare products and services, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We are regulated by federal Anti-Kickback Statutes.

 

The federal Anti-Kickback Statute is a provision of the Social Security Act of 1972 that prohibits as a felony offense the knowing and willful offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of any form of remuneration in return for, or to induce, (1) the referral of a patient for items or services for which payment may be made in whole or part under Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal healthcare programs, (2) the furnishing or arranging for the furnishing of items or services reimbursable under Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal healthcare programs or (3) the purchase, lease, or order or arranging or recommending the purchasing, leasing or ordering of any item or service reimbursable under Medicare, Medicaid or other federal healthcare programs. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“ACA”) amended section 1128B of the Social Security Act to make it clear that a person need not have actual knowledge of the statute, or specific intent to violate the statute, as a predicate for a violation. The OIG, which has the authority to impose administrative sanctions for violation of the statute, has adopted as its standard for review a judicial interpretation which concludes that the statute prohibits any arrangement where even one purpose of the remuneration is to induce or reward referrals. A violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute is a felony punishable by imprisonment, criminal fines of up to $25,000, civil fines of up to $50,000 per violation, and three times the amount of the unlawful remuneration. A violation also can result in exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid or other federal healthcare programs. In addition, pursuant to the changes of the ACA, a claim that includes items or services resulting from a violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute is a false claim for purposes of the False Claims Act.

 

We cannot assure that the applicable regulatory authorities will not determine that some of our arrangements with physicians violate the federal Anti-Kickback Statute or other applicable laws. An adverse determination could subject us to different liabilities, including criminal penalties, civil monetary penalties and exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid or other health care programs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

We are regulated by the federal Stark Law.

 

The federal Stark Law, 42 U.S.C. 1395nn, also known as the physician self-referral law, generally prohibits a provider from referring Medicare and Medicaid patients to an entity (including hospitals) providing ‘‘designated health services,’’ if the physician or a member of the physician’s immediate family has a ‘‘financial relationship’’ with the entity, unless a specific exception applies. Designated health services include, among other services, inpatient hospital services, outpatient prescription drug services, clinical laboratory services, certain imaging services (e.g., MRI, CT, ultrasound), and other services that our affiliated physicians may order for their patients. The prohibition applies regardless of the reasons for the financial relationship and the referral; and therefore, unlike the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, intent to violate the law is not required. Like the Anti-Kickback Statute, the Stark Law contains statutory and regulatory exceptions intended to protect certain types of transactions and arrangements. Unlike safe harbors under the Anti-Kickback Statute with which compliance is voluntary, an arrangement must comply with every requirement of a Stark Law exception or the arrangement is in violation of the Stark Law.

 

Because the Stark Law and implementing regulations continue to evolve and are detailed and complex, while we attempt to structure our relationships to meet an exception to the Stark Law, there can be no assurance that the arrangements entered into by us with affiliated physicians and facilities will be found to be in compliance with the Stark Law, as it ultimately may be implemented or interpreted. The penalties for violating the Stark Law can include the denial of payment for services ordered in violation of the statute, mandatory refunds of any sums paid for such services, and civil penalties of up to $15,000 for each violation, double damages, and possible exclusion from future participation in the governmental healthcare programs. A person who engages in a scheme to circumvent the Stark Law’s prohibitions may be fined up to $100,000 for each applicable arrangement or scheme.

 

 

Some states have enacted statutes and regulations against self-referral arrangements similar to the federal Stark Law, but which may be applicable to the referral of patients regardless of their payor source and which may apply to different types of services. These state laws may contain statutory and regulatory exceptions that are different from those of the federal law and that may vary from state to state. An adverse determination under these state laws and/or the federal Stark Law could subject us to different liabilities, including criminal penalties, civil monetary penalties and exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid or other health care programs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

We must comply with Health Information Privacy and Security Standards.

 

The privacy regulations Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), as amended, contain detailed requirements concerning the use and disclosure of individually identifiable patient health information (“PHI”) by various healthcare providers, such as medical groups. HIPAA covered entities must implement certain administrative, physical, and technical security standards to protect the integrity, confidentiality and availability of certain electronic health information received, maintained, or transmitted. HIPAA also implemented standard transaction code sets and standard identifiers that covered entities must use when submitting or receiving certain electronic healthcare transactions, including billing and claim collection activities. Violations of the HIPAA privacy and security rules may result in civil and criminal penalties, including a tiered system of civil money penalties that range from $100 to $50,000 per violation, with a cap of $1.5 million per year for identical violations. A HIPAA covered entity must also promptly notify affected individuals where a breach affects more than 500 individuals and report breaches affecting fewer than 500 individuals annually. State attorneys general may bring civil actions on behalf of state residents for violations of the HIPAA privacy and security rules, obtain damages on behalf of state residents, and enjoin further violations.

 

Many states also have laws that protect the privacy and security of confidential, personal information, which may be similar to or even more stringent than HIPAA. Some of these state laws may impose fines and penalties on violators and may afford private rights of action to individuals who believe their personal information has been misused. We expect increased federal and state privacy and security enforcement efforts.

 

A cyber security incident could cause a violation of HIPAA, breach of customer and patient privacy, or other negative impacts.

 

We will rely extensively on our information technology (or IT) systems to manage scheduling and financial data, communicate with our future customers and their patients, vendors, and other third parties, and summarize and analyze operating results. In addition, we have made significant investments in technology, including the engagement of a third-party IT provider. A cyber-attack that bypasses our IT security systems could cause an IT security breach, a loss of protected health information, or other data subject to privacy laws, a loss of proprietary business information, or a material disruption of our IT business systems. This in turn could have a material adverse impact on our business and result of operations. In addition, our future results of operations, as well as our reputation, could be adversely impacted by theft, destruction, loss, or misappropriation of public health information, other confidential data, or proprietary business information.

 

Computer malware, viruses, and hacking and phishing attacks by third parties have become more prevalent in our industry, have occurred on our systems in the past, and may occur on our systems in the future. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to or sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until successfully launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. As cyber-security threats develop and grow, it may be necessary to make significant further investments to protect data and infrastructure. If an actual or perceived breach of our security occurs, (i) we could suffer severe reputational damage adversely affecting customer or investor confidence, (ii) the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed, (iii) we could lose potential sales, our ability to deliver our services or operate our business may be impaired, (iv) we may be subject to litigation or regulatory investigations or orders and (v) we may incur significant liabilities. Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover the potentially significant losses that may result from security breaches. We are currently reviewing our needs for cybersecurity policy as we continue our research and development on L-CYTE-01 and medical services for COPD patients.

 

 

We must comply with Environmental and Occupational Safety and Health Administration Regulations.

 

We are subject to federal, state and local regulations governing the storage, use and disposal of waste materials and products. Although we believe that our safety procedures for storing, handling and disposing of these materials and products comply with the standards prescribed by law and regulation, we cannot eliminate the risk of accidental contamination or injury from those hazardous materials. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for any damages that result and any liability could exceed the limits or fall outside the coverage of our insurance coverage, which we may not be able to maintain on acceptable terms, or at all. We could incur significant costs and attention of our management could be diverted to comply with current or future environmental laws and regulations. Federal regulations promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration impose additional requirements on us, including those protecting employees from exposure to elements such as blood-borne pathogens. We cannot predict the frequency of compliance, monitoring, or enforcement actions to which we may be subject as those regulations are being implemented, which could adversely affect our operations.

 

We must comply with a range of other Federal and State Healthcare Laws.

 

We are subject to other federal and state healthcare laws that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. The Health Care Fraud Statute prohibits any person from knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, which can be either a government or private payor plan. Violation of this statute, even in the absence of actual knowledge of or specific intent to violate the statute, may be charged as a felony offense and may result in fines, imprisonment, or both. The Health Care False Statement Statute prohibits, in any matter involving a federal health care program, anyone from knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up, by any trick, scheme or device, a material fact, or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement or representation, or making or using any materially false writing or document knowing that it contains a materially false or fraudulent statement. A violation of this statute may be charged as a felony offense and may result in fines, imprisonment or both. Under the Civil Monetary Penalties Law of the Social Security Act, a person (including an organization) is prohibited from knowingly presenting or causing to be presented to any United States officer, employee, agent, or department, or any state agency, a claim for payment for medical or other items or services where the person knows or should know (a) the items or services were not provided as described in the coding of the claim, (b) the claim is a false or fraudulent claim, (c) the claim is for a service furnished by an unlicensed physician, (d) the claim is for medical or other items or service furnished by a person or an entity that is in a period of exclusion from the program, or (e) the items or services are medically unnecessary items or services. Violations of the law may result in penalties of up to $10,000 per claim, treble damages, and exclusion from federal healthcare programs.

 

In addition, the office of inspector general (“OIG”) may impose civil monetary penalties against any physician who knowingly accepts payment from a hospital (as well as against the hospital making the payment) as an inducement to reduce or limit medically necessary services provided to Medicare or Medicaid program beneficiaries. Further, except as permitted under the Civil Monetary Penalties Law, a person who offers or transfers to a Medicare or Medicaid beneficiary any remuneration that the person knows or should know is likely to influence the beneficiary’s selection of a particular provider of Medicare or Medicaid payable items or services may be liable for civil money penalties of up to $10,000 for each wrongful act.

 

In addition to the state laws previously described, we may also be subject to other state fraud and abuse statutes and regulations if we expand our operations nationally. Many states have adopted a form of anti-kickback law, self-referral prohibition, and false claims and insurance fraud prohibition. The scope of these laws and the interpretations of them vary from state to state and are enforced by state courts and regulatory authorities, each with broad discretion. Generally, state laws reach to all healthcare services and not just those covered under a governmental healthcare program. A determination of liability under any of these laws could result in fines and penalties and restrictions on our ability to operate in these states. We cannot assure that our arrangements or business practices will not be subject to government scrutiny or be found to violate applicable fraud and abuse laws.

 

Changes in healthcare laws could create an uncertain environment and materially impact us.

 

We cannot predict the effect that the ACA and its implementation, amendment, or repeal and replacement, may have on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Any changes in healthcare laws or regulations that reduce, curtail or eliminate payments, government-subsidized programs, government-sponsored programs, and/or the expansion of Medicare or Medicaid, among other actions, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. For example, the ACA dramatically changed how healthcare services are covered, delivered, and reimbursed. The ACA requires insurers to accept all applicants, regardless of pre-existing conditions, cover an extensive list of conditions and treatments, and charge the same rates, regardless of pre-existing condition or gender.

 

 

The ACA and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “Health Care Reform Acts”) also mandated changes specific to home health and hospice benefits under Medicare. In 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the ACA, including the “individual mandate” provisions of the ACA that generally require all individuals to obtain healthcare insurance or pay a penalty. However, the U.S. Supreme Court also held that the provision of the ACA that authorized the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to penalize states that choose not to participate in the expansion of the Medicaid program by removing all of its existing Medicaid funding was unconstitutional. In response to the ruling, a number of state governors opposed its state’s participation in the expanded Medicaid program, which resulted in the ACA not providing coverage to some low-income persons in those states. In addition, several bills have been, and are continuing to be, introduced in U.S. Congress to amend all or significant provisions of the ACA, or repeal and replace the ACA with another law. In December 2017, the individual mandate was repealed via the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Afterwards, legal and political challenges as to the constitutionality of the remaining provisions of the ACA resumed.

 

Our operations are subject to the nations healthcare laws, as amended, repealed, or replaced from time to time.

 

The net effect of the ACA on our business is subject to numerous variables, including the law’s complexity, lack of complete implementing regulations and interpretive guidance, gradual and potentially delayed implementation or possible amendment, as well as the uncertainty as to the extent to which states will choose to participate in the expanded Medicaid program. The continued implementation of provisions of the ACA, the adoption of new regulations thereunder and ongoing challenges thereto, also added uncertainty about the current state of U.S. healthcare laws and could negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. Healthcare providers could be subject to federal and state investigations and payor audits.

 

Due to our participation in government and private healthcare programs, we are from time to time involved in inquiries, reviews, audits, and investigations by governmental agencies and private payors of our business practices, including assessments of our compliance with coding, billing and documentation requirements. Federal and state government agencies have active civil and criminal enforcement efforts against healthcare companies, and their executives and managers. The Deficit Reduction Act, which provides a financial incentive to states to enact their own false claims acts, and similar laws encourage investigations against healthcare companies by different agencies. These investigations could also be initiated by private whistleblowers.

 

Responding to audit and investigative activities are costly and disruptive to our business operations, even when the allegations are without merit. If we are subject to an audit or investigation, a finding could be made that we or our affiliates erroneously billed or were incorrectly reimbursed, and we may be required to repay such agencies or payors, may be subjected to pre-payment reviews, which can be time-consuming and result in non-payment or delayed payments for the services we or our affiliates provide, and may be subject to financial sanctions or required to modify our operations.

 

Our revenues may depend on our patients receipt of adequate reimbursement from private insurers and government sponsored healthcare programs.

 

Political, economic, and regulatory influences continue to change the healthcare industry in the United States. If and when we start receiving reimbursements from third parties, the ability of hospitals to pay fees for our products will partially depend on the extent to which reimbursement for the costs of such materials and related treatments will continue to be available from private health coverage insurers and other similar organizations. We may have difficulty gaining market acceptance for the products we sell if third-party payors do not provide adequate coverage and reimbursement to hospitals. Major third-party payors of hospitals, such as private healthcare insurers, periodically revise their payment methodologies based, in part, upon changes in government sponsored healthcare programs. We cannot predict these periodic revisions with certainty, and such revisions may result in stricter standards for reimbursement of hospital charges for certain specified products, potentially adversely impacting our business, results of operations, and financial conditions when we start receiving reimbursement from third party payors.

 

When we start receiving reimbursement from third party payors, the sales of our therapies will depend in part on the availability of reimbursement by third-party payors, such as government health administration authorities, private health insurers and other organizations. Third-party payors often challenge the price and cost-effectiveness of medical treatments and services. Governmental approval of health care products does not guarantee that these third-party payers will pay for the products. Even if third-party payers do accept our therapeutic treatments, the amounts they pay may not be adequate to enable us to realize a profit. Legislation and regulations affecting the pricing of therapies may change before our products and services are approved for marketing, and any such changes could further limit reimbursement, if any.

 

 

Future regulatory action remains uncertain.

 

We operate in a highly regulated and evolving environment with rigorous regulatory enforcement. Any legal or regulatory action could be time-consuming and costly. If we or the manufacturers or distributors that supply our products fail to comply with all applicable laws, standards, and regulations, action by the FDA or other regulatory agencies could result in significant restrictions, including restrictions on the marketing or use of the products we sell or the withdrawal of the products we sell from the market. Any such restrictions or withdrawals could materially affect our reputation, business and operations.

 

Risks Related to Acquisitions

 

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.

 

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, stock, assumed debt, seller notes, and/or earnouts 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.

 

We face risks arising from acquisitions that we pursue in the future.

 

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.

 

 

Risks Related to Our Management

 

Because we do not have a segregated audit or compensation committee, shareholders will be required to rely on the members of our Board of Directors, who are not all independent, to perform these functions.

 

We do not have an audit or compensation committee or Board of Directors as a whole that is composed of independent directors. There is a potential conflict between their or our interests and our shareholders’ interests.

 

Our future success depends, in part, on the performance and continued service of our officers and directors

 

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 do maintain key man insurance on any member of our management team.

 

Our executive officers, directors and certain key stockholders own and control a significant number of voting securities and so long as they do, they are able to control the outcome of stockholder voting.

 

Our executive officers, directors as well as certain other key shareholders are the owners of approximately 68% of the voting shares of the Company as a result of their ownership over our Series X Preferred Stock, and Common Stock. The Series X Preferred stock votes with our outstanding shares of Common Stock at the rate of 20,000 votes for each share owned, one (1) vote for each common holder. As such, our management has the ability to determine the outcome of all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors. Our management’s control of our voting securities may make it impossible to complete some corporate transactions without its support and may prevent a change in our control. In addition, this ownership could discourage the acquisition of our Common Stock by potential investors and could have an anti-takeover effect, possibly depressing the trading price of our Common Stock.

 

Risks Related to our Common Stock

 

Our Common Stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SECs penny stock regulations which may limit a stockholders ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

Our stock is a penny stock. The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our Common Stock.

 

 

As an issuer of penny stock the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us.

 

Although the federal securities law provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, if we are an issuer of a penny stock, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading.

 

Our stock price has fluctuated in the past, has recently been volatile and may be volatile in the future, and as a result, investors in our common stock could incur substantial losses.

 

Our stock price has fluctuated in the past, has recently been volatile and may be volatile in the future. On January 26, 2021, the reported low sale price of our common stock was $0.43, while the reported high sales price was $0.60, with a closing price of $0.49. For comparison purposes, on December 31, 2020, our stock price closed at $0.03. There have been no discernable announcements or developments by the company or third parties between December 31, 2020 and January 26, 2021 that could account for this fluctuation. We may incur rapid and substantial decreases in our stock price in the foreseeable future that are unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. The stock market in general and the market for telehealth companies in particular have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. For example, the recent outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus has caused broad stock market and industry fluctuations. In addition, sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock and our stock price may decline substantially in a short period of time. As a result, our stockholders could suffer losses or be unable to liquidate holdings. As a result of this volatility, investors may experience losses on their investment in our common stock. The market price for our common stock may be influenced by many factors, including the following:

 

 

sale of our common stock by our stockholders, executives, and directors;

 

volatility and limitations in trading volumes of our securities;

 

our ability to obtain financings to implement our business plans;

 

the timing and success of introductions of new clinics;

 

our ability to attract new customers;

 

The impact of COVID-19;

 

changes in our capital structure or dividend policy, future issuances of securities and sales of large blocks of securities by our stockholders;

 

our cash position;

 

announcements and events surrounding financing efforts, including debt and equity securities;

 

our inability to enter into new markets or develop new products;

 

reputational issues;

 

our inability to successfully manage our business or achieve profitability;

 

announcements of acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, joint ventures, new products, capital commitments, or other events by us or our competitors;

 

changes in general economic, political and market conditions in any of the regions in which we conduct our business;

 

changes in industry conditions or perceptions;

 

analyst research reports, recommendation and changes in recommendations, price targets, and withdrawals of coverage;

 

departures and additions of key personnel;

 

disputes and litigation related to intellectual properties, proprietary rights, and contractual obligations;

 

changes in applicable laws, rules, regulations, or accounting practices and other dynamics;

 

market conditions or trends in our industry; and

 

other events or factors, many of which may be out of our control.

 

These broad market and industry factors may seriously harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. Since the stock price of our common stock has fluctuated in the past, has been recently volatile and may be volatile in the future, investors in our common stock could incur substantial losses. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. There can be no guarantee that our stock price will remain at current prices or that future sales of our common stock will not be at prices lower than those sold to investors.

 

 

Additionally, recently, securities of certain companies have experienced significant and extreme volatility in stock price due short sellers of shares of common stock, known as a “short squeeze.” These short squeezes have caused extreme volatility in those companies and in the market and have led to the price per share of those companies to trade at a significantly inflated rate that is disconnected from the underlying value of the company. Many investors who have purchased shares in those companies at an inflated rate face the risk of losing a significant portion of their original investment as the price per share has declined steadily as interest in those stocks have abated. While we have no reason to believe our shares would be the target of a short squeeze, there can be no assurance that we won’t be in the future, and you may lose a significant portion or all of your investment if you purchase our shares at a rate that is significantly disconnected from our underlying value.

 

As a public company with a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we are subject to ongoing SEC reporting requirements and any deficiencies in our financial reporting or internal controls could adversely affect us.

 

As a public company with a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), 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 OTC Markets, Nasdaq, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional management attention, and which could adversely affect our business.

 

The Common Stock is thinly traded, so you may be unable to sell at or near asking prices, or at all.

 

Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “MITI”. Shares of our Common Stock have, until recently, been thinly-traded, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near asking prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors. We are a small company that is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume; and stock analysts, stock brokers and institutional investors may be risk-averse and be reluctant to follow an unproven, early stage company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we become more seasoned and viable As a result, our stock price may not reflect an actual or perceived value. Also, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal, as compared to a seasoned issuer that has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. A broader or more active public trading market for our Common Stock may not develop or if developed, may not be sustained. Due to these conditions, you may not be able to sell your shares at or near asking prices or at all should you attempt to sell your common shares.

 

Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on the Common Stock in the near future, investors will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

 

For the foreseeable future, proceeds from any financings or earnings generated from our operations will be retained for use in our planned business and not to pay dividends, subject to our obligations to the holders of our Series X Preferred Stock. Additionally, we have no funds available for dividends and have debt obligations that are senior to our obligation to pay dividends. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Stock in the near future. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as the Board of Directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend. For the foreseeable future, earnings generated from our operations will be retained for use in implementing our business plan and not to pay dividends.

 

 

Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholders ability to buy and sell the Common Stock it is successful in being quoted on the OTC Markets.

 

FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our Common Stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell the Common Stock.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

 

We rent an office in Denver, Colorado on a month-to-month basis. Our base rent is approximately $75 per month, varying based on the hours of secretarial services, conference room rental or other miscellaneous fees incurred.

 

On October 19, 2020, we entered into a lease agreement for approximately 3,038 square feet of retail space located at 307 1st Avenue, NE, Minneapolis, Minnesota for the establishment of the first location of The Good Clinic (the “Nordhaus Lease”). The Nordhaus Lease is for a term of 90 months commencing May 1, 2021; pursuant to the terms of the Nordhaus Lease, the Company took possession of the leased premises on November 3, 2020. The average monthly base rent over the 90-month term of the Nordhaus Lease is $5,321. The Nordhaus Lease contains one option for the Company to extend the term for a period of 60 months. As the Company moves forward in its expansion plans it expects to have similar lease commitments for each of its clinic sites.

 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On May 4, 2020, we received a loan in the amount of $460,406 from the United States Small Business Administration under the Payroll Protection Program. Subsequent to June 30, 2020, we determined that errors had been made in the application submitted to obtain the loan. On July 21, 2020, Bank of America notified the Company in writing that it should not have received $440,000 of the loan proceeds, representing an amount for the refinancing of an Economic Injury Disaster Loan which we did receive. Bank of America has requested that we remit such funds back to Bank of America. We are presently attempting to negotiate repayment of the loan. If we are not successful in negotiating repayment terms, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

 

During management's review of the Company’s recent PPP loan application after the loan had been disbursed to the Company, it was determined that the information provided by Ms. Julie R. Smith, the Company’s former President and COO, was not representative of the Company’s situation. After consulting with legal counsel, the Board of Directors voted to remove Ms. Smith from its Board of Directors, and all other capacities due to the misstatements she made in the loan application. Subsequent to that decision, effective July 1, 2020, Ms. Smith submitted a resignation from all positions with the Company, which was accepted by the Board and management. Ms. Smith subsequently retained counsel and indicated her intent to file an administrative charge of discrimination in Colorado under certain provisions of the anti-discrimination laws of that state.

 

 

On August 18, 2020, the Company received formal notice that a complaint has been filed with the Colorado Civil Rights Division by Ms. Smith naming the Company as the Respondent. The Company believes the claims are frivolous and intends to vigorously defend against the allegations. As of the date of this filing, we have been advised that the Colorado Civil Rights Division has dismissed this matter effective March 1, 2021. Ms. Smith requested a “Right-to-Sue” letter, which she received, giving her a right to sue in District Court for 90 days from the date of the dismissed action.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANTS 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 “MITI”.

 

On March 23, 2021, the price of our common stock as reported on the OTCQB was $0.29 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, 2020, 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. The dividend may be paid in cash or in the issuance of restricted common stock. If the Company chooses to pay the dividend in restricted common stock the number of shares issued to fulfill the dividend payment shall be determined based on the stock price on the date the dividend award is made by the Board of Directors. The Series X has 20,000 votes per share and votes with the Company’s common stock.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company issued the following shares of common stock in private placement transactions:

 

The Company entered into agreements with two note holders regarding the exercise price of warrants held by the note holders. These agreements resulted in the following: (i) on January 29, 2020, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock, and the note holders agreed to cancel 2,769,482 warrants; the Company recorded a gain in the amount of $77,652 on this transaction; (ii) on February 19, 2020, the Company issued 4,098,556 shares of common stock for the exercise of 4,480,938 warrants in a cashless transaction; the Company recorded a gain in the amount of $182,295 on this transaction, which is included in gain on derivative liabilities.

 

On May 27, 2020, the Company issued 2,901,440 shares of common stock for the cashless exercise of warrants. These warrants were issued pursuant to a settlement agreement with a note holder regarding the effective price of warrants issued with regard to a variable conversion price feature which resulted in the issuance of 1,011,967 more shares than would have been issued prior to the settlement agreement. The Company recorded a loss in the amount of $24,894 on this transaction based upon the additional shares issued at the market price of the Company’s common stock.

 

The Company issued, in nineteen transactions and at prices ranging from $0.0108 to $0.0210 per share, a total of 63,374,555 shares in connection with the conversion of principal and interest of convertible notes payable in the aggregate amounts of $813,000 and $70,658. No gain or loss was recognized on these transactions. See note 8.

 

 

On January 2, 2020, the Company issued 200,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock at valued $7,680 in exchange for services conducted on behalf of the Company. The value of these shares was based on the closing market price on the respective date of grant.

 

On August 27, 2020, the Company issued 386,985 shares of common stock at a price of $0.034 per share to an ex-employee for accrued compensation. A gain in the amount of $6,988 was recognized on this transaction.

Except for the issuances of common stock upon exercise of warrants on a cashless basis or conversion of notes which were effected relying on Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act as the common stock was exchanged by us with our existing security holders exclusively and no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange, the securities issued in each of the transactions described above were issued relying on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The recipients of the securities in each of these transactions relying on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder represented their intentions to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were placed upon the stock certificates issued in these transactions. All recipients had adequate access, through their employment or other relationship with us or through other access to information provided by us, to information about us. The sales of these securities were made without any general solicitation or advertising.

 

Purchases by Issuer Affiliated Purchasers

 

None.

 

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

 

The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.

 

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS 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 are working to open primary care clinics around the US that are located in residential centers and leverage the expertise, training and license of Nurse Practitioners. We are focusing on wellness as a core of the practice. Mitesco’s mission is to increase convenience and access to care, improve the quality of care, and reduce its cost. Technology is a key part to our approach to deliver on thee three goals. We recognize the essential nature of the clinician client relationship and its importance to achieving these superior outcomes. Our view is that technology must enhance these human interactions, not operate independently. As such, we are seeking innovative technologies that enable both consumers and clinicians to achieve more convenient and better outcomes with greater efficiency.

 

We have opened our flagship primary care clinic in North East Minneapolis, MN. We plan to open an additional 5 to 7 clinics in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota and then continue expansion in the Denver, Colorado area. We target to open clinic in residential concentrations of population to enhance the convenience, especially timely due to the changes in community travel patterns resulting from the pandemic. Our clinicians use both telehealth (virtual) and in-person visits to treat and coach the clients along their journey to better health and quality of life. Our clinics are led by Nurse Practitioners that use their license, extensive training, expertise and empathy to help people remain stable or improve their health. We emphasize wellness, beginning with a client‘s co-developed plan that identifies from where a person is starting and constructs a plan for how they can achieve their goals. The practice uses an integrated health approach that includes an assessment of both the individual’s behavioral and physical health and combines this with their activation level and their goals. The clinic offers wellness coaching, behavioral health care, episodic care, dermatologic services, and supplements. We seek to care for the whole person’s needs.

 

Like the first clinic, we seek to locate clinics convenient to residential centers. In pursuit of this approach, we will continue to expand our relationship with Lennar Corporation and other developers. Already, our clinic is being viewed as an amenity for the high-rise development in which we are located. We plan to mirror this approach within the two Lennar locations with which we have signed letters of intent to build clinics in these residential developments in Denver. By locating in in close proximity we expect to be able to build the client panel more quickly than typical for primary care practices.

 

 

Additionally, we have implemented a corporate structure that we believe allows us to expand into international markets. We have a wholly owned subsidiary in Dublin, Ireland, Acelerar Healthcare Holdings, Ltd. We intend to use this 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 technology 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.

 

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 to trade there. We believe this avenue may increase both the size and liquidity of the shareholder base.

 

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 any acquisitions of other 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.

On March 2, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with four senior executives from Minute Clinic James Woodburn, Kevin Lee Smith, Michael Howe and Rebecca Hafner-Fogarty ( the “Sellers”) with the skills and know-how to assist the Company in the establishment of a series of clinics utilizing nurse practitioners and telemedicine technology in States where full practice authority for nurse practitioners is supported (the “Business Development Agreement”). We issued 4,800 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock to these individuals as compensation. We valued the 4,800 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock at $71,558 or approximately $14.91 per share based upon an analysis performed by an independent valuation consultant. Subsequent to year end the Company cancelled the Series A Preferred Shares issued in this transaction and instead issued a total of 600,000 shares of restricted stock to satisfy this obligation.

 

 

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 pursuant to the guidance contained in ASU 2018-07 (“ASU 2018-07”), Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplified the accounting for share-based payments granted to non-employees for goods and services. Under the ASU 2018-07, most of the guidance on such payments to non-employees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees.

 

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, 2020 and 2019.

 

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

 

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.

Plan of Operations

 

We intend to acquire a series of early-stage companies in the healthcare industry 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. We expect that 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 believe our technology can be applicable, 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.

 

Recent Developments

 

Change in Headquarters

 

On January 30, 2020 we announced a change in our corporate headquarters from Atlanta, Georgia to Denver, Colorado. In February 2021 the Company relocated its headquarters to Minneapolis, Minnesota to be closer to its clinic operations.

 

Appointment of Officers

 

Effective July 1, 2020, Ms. Julie R. Smith resigned as President, COO and Director of the Company.

 

On March 14, 2021, the Board of Directors appointed Philip Keller its Chief Financial Officer. In connection with Mr. Keller’s appointment as Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Lawrence Diamond will no longer serve as the Company’s Interim Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Diamond will continue to lead the Company’s growth and development as Chief Executive Officer and as a Director of the Board.

 

The 2020 Directors Advisory Agreement

 

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 $2,500 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, as amended, Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and under the Delaware General Corporate Law (DGCL).

 

Appointment of Directors

 

Effective July 13, 2020, the Board appointed Dr. H. Faraz Naqvi, and Mr. Juan Carlos Iturregui, Esq.

 

Name Change

 

On February 4, 2020, the Board by written consent approved changing the name of the Company from “True Nature Holding, Inc.” to “Mitesco, Inc.” and to change the stock symbol from “TNTY” to “MITI”, which change was subsequently approved by FINRA.

 

 

Business Development Agreement

 

On March 2, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with four senior executives from Minute Clinic James Woodburn, Kevin Lee Smith, Michael Howe and Rebecca Hafner-Fogarty ( the “Sellers”) with the skills and know-how to assist the Company in the establishment of a series of clinics utilizing nurse practitioners and telemedicine technology in States where full practice authority for nurse practitioners is supported (the “Business Development Agreement”). We issued 4,800 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock to these individuals as compensation. We valued the 4,800 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock at $71,558 or approximately $14.91 per share based upon an analysis performed by an independent valuation consultant. Subsequent to year end the Company cancelled the Series A Preferred shares issued in this transaction and instead issued a total of 600,000 shares of restricted stock to satisfy this obligation.

 

Redemption of Certain Previously Issued Convertible Notes

 

On March 11, 2020, the Company paid in full a previously issued convertible notes with Power Up Lending Group, LTD. The Power Up Convertible Bridge Note dated September 12, 2019, in the amount of $45,000 was paid in full for $71,494.52, including all accrued interest.

 

Amendment to Warrants Previously Issued

 

On March 10, 2020, the Company completed an amendment with Crown Bridge Partners, LLC related to three warrants previously issued in conjunction with certain convertible notes. As a result of the agreement: (i) the first note was fully exercised through the issuance of 4,098,556 shares of common stock, and is now fully extinguished, (ii) the second note has been modified such that exactly 2,901,444 shares will be issued to fully satisfy the warrant, and (iii) the third warrant was fully extinguished with no shares issued and none to be issued.

 

Compensatory Arrangements

 

On March 9, 2020, the Board of Directors agreed to implement the 2020 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan calls for the issuance of up to 8,500,000 stock options, all subject to certain vesting and performance requirements. In conjunction with the Plan it has agreed to issue the following options to the two (2) officers and two (2) Directors of the Company.

Faraz Naqvi and Juan Carlos Iturregui received options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares each, priced at $0.03, which all vested during fiscal 2020.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Mitesco, Inc. and subsidiaries

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Mitesco, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit, recurring losses, and expects continuing future losses that raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 

 

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit. 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 audit 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 audit, 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 audit 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 audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters:

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements, and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.

 

 

We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

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.

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.

MITESCO, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2020 and 2019

 

Note 1 Description of Business

 

Company Overview

 

Mitesco, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was formed in the state of Delaware on January 18, 2012. On December 9, 2015, we restructured our operations and acquired Newco4pharmacy, LLC, a development stage company which sought to acquire compounding pharmacy businesses. As a part of the restructuring, we completed a “spin out” of our former business line. On April 24, 2020, we changed our name to Mitesco, Inc.

 

During 2020, our operations have focused on establishing medical clinics utilizing nurse practitioners under The Good Clinic name and development and acquisition of telemedicine technology. In March of 2020, we formed The Good Clinic LLC, a Colorado limited liability company for our clinic business. We entered into an agreement with four senior executives from Minute Clinic James Woodburn, Kevin Lee Smith, Michael Howe and Rebecca Hafner-Fogarty (the “Sellers”) with the skills and know-how to assist the Company in the establishment of a series of clinics utilizing nurse practitioners and telemedicine technology in States where full practice authority for nurse practitioners is supported. We issued 4,800 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock to these individuals as compensation. We valued the 4,800 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock at $71,558 or approximately $14.91 per share based upon an analysis performed by an independent valuation consultant.

 

We opened our first The Good Clinic in Minneapolis, MN in the first quarter of 2021.

 

Note 2 - Financial Condition, Going Concern and Management Plans

 

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had cash of $64,789, current liabilities of $3,028,640, and has incurred a loss from operations. The Company’s principal operation is the development and deployment of software and systems for the healthcare marketplace. The Company intends to: a) develop and own primary care clinics operated by nurse practitioners, b) develop and acquire telemedical technologies, and c) evaluate other healthcare related opportunities both domestically and on an international basis. 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 for one year from the date the financial statements are issued. 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 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.

 

During March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 crisis, the federal government announced plans to offer loans to small businesses in various forms, including the Payroll Protection Program, or "PPP", established as part of the Corona Virus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. On April 18, 2020, the Company’s former President and COO completed and submitted an application on behalf of the Company to Bank of America, NA (“Bank of America”) for a PPP loan, which was subsequently approved. On April 25, 2020 the Company entered into an unsecured Promissory Note (the “Note”) with Bank of America for a loan in the original principal amount of approximately $460,000, and the Company received the full amount of the loan proceeds on May 4, 2020.

 

On July 21, 2020, Bank of America notified the Company in writing that it should not have received $440,000 of the loan proceeds disbursed under the Note. The Company investigated the terms of the application and discovered its former President had erroneously represented it was refinancing an Economic Injury Disaster Loan when no such loan had been received. Bank of America requested that the Company remit the funds received back to Bank of America. The Company is currently working with Bank of America on a repayment plan. If we are not successful in negotiating repayment terms, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

 

 

During management's review of the loan application after the loan had been disbursed to the Company, it was determined that the information provided by its former President and COO in the application was not representative of the Company’s situation. After consulting with legal counsel and conferring with the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors, in executive session, voted to remove the Company’s former President and Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) from its Board of Directors, and all operating roles due to the inaccuracy of the loan application. Subsequent to that decision, the former President & COO submitted a resignation from all positions with the Company, which was accepted by the Board and management.

 

In August 2020, the former President and COO filed a complaint alleging discrimination under certain provisions of the anti-discrimination laws of that state. The Company believes that the action is without merit and it intends to vigorously defend itself. The Company does not believe it the action will have a material impact on the Company. As of the date of this filing the Company has been advised by the convening judicial organization that it has dismissed this matter, and as such the individual who initiated this action is open to pursue litigation in other venues if they desire.

 

We have had some impact on our operations as a result of the effect of the pandemic, primarily with accessibility to staffing, consultants and in the capital markets, and we are adjusting as needed within our available resources. The Company will continue to assess the effect of the pandemic on its operations. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact the Company’s business and operations will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, the duration and effect of possible business disruptions and the short-term effects and ultimate effectiveness of the travel restrictions, quarantines, social distancing requirements and business closures in the United States and other countries to contain and treat the disease. While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, COVID-19 may be difficult to assess or predict, a widespread pandemic could result in significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing the Company’s ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively affect the Company’s liquidity. In addition, a recession or market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect the Company’s business and the value of its securities.

 

Note 3 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”).

 

Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mitesco, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries MitescoNA, LLC, The Good Clinic, LLC, and Acelerar Healthcare Holdings, LTD. In addition, we anticipate that we will rely on the operating activities of certain legal entities in which we will not maintain a controlling ownership interest but over which we will have indirect influence and of which we will be considered the primary beneficiary. These entities are typically subject to nominee ownership and transfer restriction agreements that effectively transfer the majority of the economic risks and rewards of their ownership to the Company. The Company’s management, restriction and other agreements concerning such nominee-owned entities typically includes both financial terms and protective and participating rights to the entities’ operating, strategic and non-clinical governance decisions which transfer substantial powers over and economic responsibility for these entities to the Company. As such, the Company applies the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 – Consolidation (“ASC 810”), to determine when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or not controlled through its voting interests, referred to as a variable interest entity should be consolidated. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

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 $64,789 and $83,245 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

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 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 those other than employees are recognized pursuant to FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU relates to the accounting for non-employee share-based payments. The amendment in this update expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquired goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The ASU excludes share-based payment awards that relate to: (1) financing to the issuer; or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts from Customers. The share-based payments are to be measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that the entity is obligated to issue when the goods or service has been delivered or rendered and all other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the equity instruments have been satisfied. This standard will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. We adopted the provisions of this ASU on January 1, 2019. The adoption had no impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

 

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, 2020:

 

- The stock prices of $0.0198 to $0.0425 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 135.6% through 220.0% 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. The reset events are projected to occur annually starting 3 months following the date of valuation.

 

- For the variable rate Notes (30%, 39% or 45% discount), the Holder would convert with effective discount rates of 35.95% to 56.00% (based on the lookback terms).

 

- The Company would redeem the notes at maturity if the conversion value was less than the payment with penalties. For the majority of the notes 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%.

 

Common Stock Purchase Warrants-The Company accounts for common stock purchase warrants in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. 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 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.

 

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.

 

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 condensed 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 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.

 

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 significance 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 derivative liabilities approximate their book value as the instruments are short-term in nature and contain market rates of interest. Because there is no ready market or observable transactions, management classifies the derivative liabilities as Level 3.

 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

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. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded a right-to-use asset and an operating lease liability in the amount of $328,500. This pronouncement is not expected to have an ongoing 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. We implemented this ASU on January 1, 2020, and the implementation of this pronouncement did not have a 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.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)”. This ASU reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible Preferred Stock. As well as amend the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. In addition, this ASU improves and amends the related EPS guidance. This standard is effective for us on January 1, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption is either a modified retrospective method or a fully retrospective method of transition. We are currently assessing the impact the new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

There are various other updates recently issued, most of which represent 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 4 Net Loss Per Share Applicable to Common Shareholders

 

Net Loss per Share Applicable to Common Stockholders

 

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per common share is computed similarly to basic loss per common share except that it reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

 

 

The following table sets forth the computation of loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively:

Note 8 Debt

 

August 2014 Series C Convertible Debenture

Note 9 Derivative Liabilities

 

Certain of the Company’s convertible notes and warrants contain 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.

Note 11 Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes result from the temporary differences primarily attributable to amortization of intangible assets and debt discount and an accumulation of net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes with a valuation allowance against the carryforwards for book purposes.

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Included in deferred tax assets are Federal and State net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $5,860,000, which will expire through 2040. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Due to significant changes in the Company’s ownership, the Company’s future use of its existing net operating losses may be limited.

 

The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 consist of the following:

The provision (benefit) for income taxes differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the applicable statutory income tax rate of 21.0% for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 to the loss before taxes as a result of the following differences:

Deferred income taxes reflect the tax impact of temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws and regulations.

 

Deferred income taxes include the net tax effects of net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards and the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019 significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:

Other

 

On May 4, 2020, we received a loan in the amount of $460,406 from the United States Small Business Administration under the Payroll Protection Program. Subsequent to June 30, 2020, we determined that errors had been made in the application submitted to obtain the loan. On July 21, 2020, Bank of America notified the Company in writing that it should not have received $440,000 of the loan proceeds, representing an amount for the refinancing of an Economic Injury Disaster Loan which we did receive. Bank of America has requested that we remit such funds back to Bank of America. We are presently attempting to negotiate repayment of the loan. If we are not successful in negotiating repayment terms, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

 

During management's review of the Company’s recent PPP loan application after the loan had been disbursed to the Company, it was determined that the information provided by Ms. Julie R. Smith, the Company’s former President and COO, was not representative of the Company’s situation. After consulting with legal counsel, the Board of Directors voted to remove Ms. Smith from its Board of Directors, and all other capacities due to the misstatements she made in the loan application. Subsequent to that decision, effective July 1, 2020, Ms. Smith submitted a resignation from all positions with the Company, which was accepted by the Board and management. Ms. Smith subsequently retained counsel and has indicated her intent to file an administrative charge of discrimination in Colorado under certain provisions of the anti-discrimination laws of that state.

 

On August 18, 2020, the Company received formal notice that a complaint has been filed with the Colorado Civil Rights Division by Ms. Smith naming the Company as the Respondent. The Company believes the claims are frivolous and intends to vigorously defend against the allegations. As of the date of this filing the Company has been advised that the Colorado Civil Rights Division has dismissed this matter effective March 1, 2021. Ms. Smith requested a “Right-to-Sue” letter, which she received, giving her a right to sue in District Court for 90 days from the date of the dismissed action.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

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. 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, 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, 2020.

 

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 2020 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, 2020. This Annual 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 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.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fourth quarter ended December 31, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Consists of 1,098,431 shares of common stock and options to purchase an additional 1,100,000 shares of common stock.

(2)

Consists of options to purchase 1,100,000 shares of common stock.

(3)

Consists of 2,164,047 shares of common stock and options to purchase an additional 2,500,000 shares of common stock.

(4)

Based solely on a Schedule 13D filed by Anglo Irish Management LLC (“Anglo”), Anglo received 1,025,514 shares of common stock as interest earned on shares of the Series X Preferred Stock, and owns 12,503 shares of Series X Preferred. Daniel Hollis is the Manager of Anglo Irish Management LLC and its business address is 9057A Selborne Lane, Chatt Hills, GA 30268. In addition, Anglo granted Mr. Juan Carlos Iturregui a revocable trust to vote the shares of Series X Preferred Stock and common stock owned by Anglo as its proxy. The proxy is revocable at the option of Anglo.

(5)

Based on 196,180,503 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 22, 2021 and 26,227 shares of Series X Preferred Stock outstanding. Each share of Series X Preferred Stock entitled the holder thereof to 20,000 votes per share and will vote together with the common stock, representing 524,540,000 votes. Percent of Total Voting Power for each beneficial owner is derived by dividing (i) the sum of the common stock votes and number of votes that the Series X Preferred Stock owned by such beneficial owner is entitled by (ii) the Total Voting Power.

 

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%.

 

 

Equity Compensation Plan Information

 

On December 31, 2020, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved the Mitesco Inc. 2021 Omnibus Securities and Incentive Plan, or the “2021 Plan”.
