MITESCO, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
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 plan to open our first The Good Clinic in Minneapolis, MN in the first quarter of 2021.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting – The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to interim financial reporting as prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. These interim financial statements do not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filed with the SEC in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. In the opinion of management, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report include all known accruals and adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods reported herein. Any such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of these unaudited condensed 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. These estimates include the value of stock-based compensation, derivative liabilities. External factors may affect the amount of these estimates and cause actual results to differ from estimated amounts, Future events and their effects cannot be determined with any certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment.
Other Comprehensive Loss - The Company does not have any items of other comprehensive loss and therefore its other comprehensive loss is the same as its net loss in its condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Cash -All highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less at the date of purchase are cash equivalents.
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.
The following assumptions were used for the valuation of the Series A Preferred Stock as of March 2, 2020:
An Option Pricing Methodology (“OPM”) was utilized to allocate the enterprise value to the various equity linked instruments. The assumptions utilized in the OPM included a term of 5 years as the term for liquidity, a corresponding risk–free rate based on the term, 10% dividends, and a volatility based on the remaining term (based on comparable company volatility analysis):
Market Cap (fully diluted basis) |
3,749,829 | |||
Volatility (12 Months) |
78.6 | % | ||
Years to Liquidity |
5.00 | |||
Continuous Risk Free Rate |
0.88 | % | ||
Stock Price |
$ | 0.0419 |
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.
The following assumptions were used for the valuation of the derivative liability related to the convertible notes that contain a derivative component during the three months ended September 30, 2020:
- The stock prices of $0.0296 to $0.079 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 198.5% at derivative treatment, issuance, conversion, exercise, and quarters ends. The Company continues to trade with high volatility;
- The Holder would automatically convert the note at the maximum of 2 times the conversion price if the company was not in default.
- The Holder would automatically convert the note before maturity if the registration was effective and the company was not in default. The Holder would automatically convert the note early based on ownership or trading volume limitations and the Company would redeem the unconverted balances at maturity.
- A change of control and fundamental transaction would occur initially 0% of the time and increase monthly by 0% to a maximum of 0% – based on management being in control and no desire to sell the Company.
- A reset event would adjust the Notes conversion price triggered by either a capital raise; stock issuance; settlement; or conversion/exercise (a reset occurred in this period on 11/7/19 – Auctus Conversion triggered a reset to $0.00858). The reset events are projected to occur annually starting 3 months following the date of valuation 9/30/20.
- For the variable rate Notes (39% or 45% discount), the Holder would convert with effective discount rates of 50.28% to 55.17% (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. Common stock share and per share amounts in these financial statements have been adjusted for the effects of a 1 for 101 reverse stock split that occurred in January of 2016.
Per Share Data-Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive) related to warrants, options and convertible instruments.
The Company excluded all common equivalent shares outstanding for warrants, options and convertible instruments to purchase common stock from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because all such securities are antidilutive for the periods presented. As of September 30, 2020, there were 9,767,879 options and 63,188,385 shares issuable in connection with convertible debt excluded from calculation of diluted net loss; as of September 30, 2019, the Company had outstanding 1,425,000 warrants, 67,879 options, and 36,135,065 shares issuable in connection with convertible debt which were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss. The Company, at its discretion, may satisfy the accrued interest on its Series A and Series X Preferred Stock via the issuance of shares of common stock; at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were 1,731,740 and 0 shares, respectively, potentially issuable in connection with such issuance.
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 condensed 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 condensed 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 condensed 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 condensed 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-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 condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 3 – Financial Condition and Going Concern
As of September 30, 2020, the Company had cash of $101,660, current liabilities of $2,720,646, 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) 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. 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 condensed 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 $460,406, 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 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.
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 6 – 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.
Derivative liability activity for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is summarized in the table below:

Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies
Legal
There are no pending or anticipated legal actions at this time except as noted below in “Other”.
Other
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.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared and, unless otherwise stated, the information derived therefrom as presented in this discussion and analysis is presented, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
The information contained in this Quarterly Report is not a complete description of our business or the risks associated with an investment in our common stock. We urge you to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this Quarterly Report and in our other reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and subsequent reports on Form 8-K, which discuss our business in greater detail. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our” in this Item 2 and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report refer to Mitesco, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries.
In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and our future performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “will”, “may”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “forecasts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. All statements made in this Quarterly Report other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and reflect only our current views, expectations and assumptions with respect to future events and our future performance. Such risks and uncertainties may be amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on our business and the global economy. If risks or uncertainties materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results or events could differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Risks that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements we make include, among others, risks related to: our ability to successfully implement our business plan, develop and commercialize our proprietary formulations in a timely manner or at all, identify and acquire additional proprietary formulations, manage our pharmacy operations, service our debt, obtain financing necessary to operate our business, recruit and retain qualified personnel, manage any growth we may experience and successfully realize the benefits of our acquisitions and collaborative arrangements we may pursue; competition from pharmaceutical companies, outsourcing facilities and pharmacies; general economic and business conditions; regulatory and legal risks and uncertainties related to our pharmacy operations and the pharmacy and pharmaceutical business in general; physician interest in and market acceptance of our current and any future formulations and compounding pharmacies generally; our limited operating history; and the other risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and any other reports we file with the SEC. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to revise or publicly update any forward-looking statement for any reason.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
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 seeking to acquire compounding pharmacy businesses. As a part of such restructuring, we completed a “spin out” transaction of our former business. 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.
At September 30, 2020 and November 2, 2020, we had cash on hand for our operations of $101,660 and $104,725. We will seek to fund our operations by offering debt and equity securities.
All of our future 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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Since our inception, except for standard operating leases, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, including the use of structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
For the three months ended September 30, 2020, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

There were no investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 or 2019.
On May 4, 2020, the Company 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, the Company determined that errors had been made in the application submitted to obtain this 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; the Company never applied for and never received an Economic Injury Disaster Loan. Bank of America has required that the Company remit such funds back to Bank of America. The Company is currently 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.
Based on our current assessment, we do not expect any material impact on our long-term liquidity due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, we will continue to assess the effect of the pandemic on our operations. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our 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 our ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively affect our liquidity. In addition, a recession or market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect our business and the value of our common stock.
Going Concern
The factors discussed above raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that we will continue to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Recent Developments
On October 19, 2020, we signed a lease with Lennar Corp. for the location of our first The Good Clinic which is expected to open the clinic in the first quarter of 2021 in Minneapolis, MN.
In January 2020, the Company incorporated Mitesco N.A., LLC, for its planned North American operations and Acelerar Healthcare Holdings, LTD., for its planned European operations.
In August of 2020, we engaged a Placement Agent to raise on a best efforts basis up to $25 million from the sale of our securities (the “Offering”). We agreed to pay the Placement Agent a fee of $5,000, commissions equal to 7% of the aggregate proceeds of the Offering, a 3% non-accountable expense allowance and warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase for an aggregate consideration of $1.00, such amount of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock equal to 3% of the aggregate number of shares, respectively, sold in the Offering.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. |
Not applicable.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report (the "Evaluation Date"), we carried out an evaluation regarding the three months ended September 30, 2020, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer who is also serving as our Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Based upon this evaluation, our management concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that (i) information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms, and (ii) information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act 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. Management believes the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are not effective because of the small size of the Company's accounting staff which may prevent adequate controls, such as segregation of duties, which is due to the cost/benefit associated with such remediation. To address the material weaknesses, the Company performed additional analysis and other procedures in an effort to ensure our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Limitations on Internal Controls
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover every situation involving the failure of persons within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As of the Evaluation Date, no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
During the three months ended September 30, 2020, there were no changes that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
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.
RISK FACTORS. |
In addition to the risk factors set forth in this report on Form 10-Q Part I- Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (the “10-K”), investors should consider the following risk factors:
Risks Related to COVID-19 Pandemic
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 future 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 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 $1.9 million, $3,885,662 and $1,415,153 for the 9 months ended September 30, 2020 and years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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, 2019 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 are dependent upon the sale of our securities to implement the initial stages of our business plan.
We have nominal revenues from operations. We require capital to implement and finance our plan of operations, which includes the establishment and operation of care clinics. We have no definitive agreements obligating any party to provide financing to us. If we receive only a fraction of the funding needed, or if certain assumptions of our management prove to be incorrect, we may have inadequate funds to fully implement our business and may need additional equity or debt financing or other capital investments to fully implement our business plans.
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 will require approximate net proceeds of $650,000 to open one clinic and an additional $200,000 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.
We will incur costs of servicing our present and future debt.
We have debt obligations in the amount of approximately $2.6 million as of September 30, 2020, including certain convertible notes that mature between October 2020 and February 2021 of approximate $900,000 face value. Further we may incur additional debt obligations in the future without notice to our shareholders or investors. A portion of our present and any future indebtedness will have to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness. Typical loan agreements also might contain restrictive covenants, which may impair 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 other stockholders. A judgment creditor would have the right to foreclose on any of our assets which would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
We may incur additional debt in the future which may contain restrictive covenants and impair our operating flexibility.
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.
Risks Related to our Business.
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. 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 complete 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 browned 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 successful 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.
We have not yet completed a clinic or developed our telemedicine services, and we may not be successful in doing so. 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 could cause you to lose your investment in the Units.
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 plan to enter the telehealth market 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.
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.
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, our business will be harmed.
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 our future clients’ members or 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 our services, or the telehealth market as a whole could limit market acceptance of our services. If our future clients, or their members or patients, do not perceive the benefits of our services, or if our services are not competitive, then our market may not develop at all, 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 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.
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 Trump 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 Trump 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. On March 2, 2020, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case during its term that begins in October 2020. 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 (also known as Obamacare) 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 nation’s 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.
We had no unconditional commitments with respect to any acquisition as of September 30, 2019. 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 week 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
Certain of our officers and directors devote limited time to our business, which may negatively impact our plan of operations, the implementation of our business plan, and our potential profitability.
While Lawrence Diamond, our Chief Executive Officer and director, dedicates full time to us, our other directors dedicate part time service to us which could negatively impact our plan of operations, implementation of our business plan, and our potential profitability.
Because we do not have an 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. Until we have an audit committee or independent directors, there may be less oversight of management decisions and activities and little ability for minority shareholders to challenge or reverse those activities and decisions, even if they are not in the best interests of minority shareholders.
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 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 President and Chief Executive Officer as well as certain other key shareholders are the owners of approximately 88% of the voting shares of the Company as a result of their ownership of 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 management’s 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 Securities
Our Common Stock is a penny stock and as such, trading of the Common Stock may be restricted by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) penny stock regulations which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
The Common Stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“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.
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, 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.
There is a limited market for our Common Stock which may make it difficult for investors to sell the Common Stock.
There is a limited trading market for the Common Stock. Any trading market for the Common Stock may never develop in the foreseeable future, if ever. If no market develops, it may be difficult or impossible for you to sell your shares if you should desire to do so. The Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB Market. There is extremely limited and sporadic trading of our Common Stock and no assurance can be given, when, if ever, an active trading market will develop or, if developed, that it will be sustained. Unless the Common Stock is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and any required state authorities, or an appropriate exemption from registration is available, investors may not be able to sell the Common Stock, even though his or her personal financial condition may dictate such a liquidation. In addition, the Common Stock will not likely be acceptable as collateral for loans. Therefore, prospective investors who require liquidity in their investments should not purchase the Units.
The number of Common Stock shares outstanding could increase as a result of convertible debt.
We have convertible debt outstanding at this time of approximately $1 million, or $1.6 million if held for an extended period of time which have a conversion feature allowing the holder to convert to Common Stock at a 40% discount to the market price of $.03 as of November 2, 2020. If our Common Stock price materially declines, we will be obligated to issue a large number of shares to the holder of these notes upon conversion. This will likely materially dilute existing holders of our Common Stock. The potential for such dilutive issuances upon conversion of outstanding notes may depress the price of Common Stock regardless of our business performance, and could encourage short selling by market participants, especially if the trading price of our Common Stock begins to decrease. If the holder were to convert the debt into Common Stock the number of Common Stock shares outstanding would expand and would be dilutive to the existing common stockholders. The impact to the holders of our common stock could be a reduced price, or liquidity, in the marketplace for the Common Stock.
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 OTC Markets OTCQB with the symbol “MITI”. Shares of our Common Stock are 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.
For the foreseeable future, proceeds from any financings 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 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 stockholder’s ability to buy and sell the Common Stock if 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.
Our officers and directors have voting control over all matters submitted to a vote of our common stockholders, which will prevent our minority shareholders from having the ability to control any of our corporate actions.
Our officers and directors control approximately 82% of the votes on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. As such, they have ability to determine the outcome of all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors, amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws; to effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction; and to control the outcome of any other matter submitted to our stockholders for vote. Their control of our voting securities may make it impossible to complete some corporate transactions without their 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.
UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS. |
In the quarter ended September 30, 2020, we offered and sold securities below. None of the issuances involved underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions. We relied upon Sections 4(2) of the Securities Act, for the offer and sale of the securities. We believed Section 4(2) was available because:
● |
We are not a blank check company; |
● |
Sales were not made by general solicitation or advertising; and |
● |
All certificates representing the securities had restrictive legends. |
