TABLE OF CONTENTS

PART I

Item 1. Business

Company Highlights For 2014

In 2014 and into 2015, our company continues to be focused on four key operational areas:

We generated positive cash flow from operations in 2014, excluding working capital fluctuations, and we expect to continue to do so in 2015, as well as to be profitable during the upcoming year based on the expected escalation of revenues.

Our success in acquiring, integrating and expanding into new promotional EHR/eRx platforms continues to grow as well. We are in the process of completing the initial rollout of brands into the Practice Fusion network, as well as discussing 2015 rollout dates with other potential networks.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, we signed an agreement with Practice Fusion, the largest cloud-based electronic health records (EHR) platform, to integrate and automate our patient savings and support system to enable Practice Fusion prescribers to more efficiently help patients better afford and adhere to their prescribed medications. Practice Fusion’s EHR is used by a community of more than 112,000 active medical professionals monthly with over 91 million patient records and should have a significant impact on our prescribing reach and sales once live. We anticipate that the integration will be completed early in the second quarter of 2015.

We are enforcing our agreements to integrate our promotions within LDM/PDR’s network of over 100,000 physicians and work collectively to integrate into NextGen. This delay in implementation of agreed terms has resulted in significant loss of revenue and profits to OptimizeRx. Thus we are aggressively seeking multiple strategies, including legal, to address and resolve this.

In March 2015, we signed an agreement with HCA Information Technology & Services, Inc.to pilot our eCoupon promotional system within their network. HCA is the largest hospital system in the nation.

We also signed our first agreement with National Veterinary Associates (NVA), one of the largest veterinary hospital systems in the nation.

Pharmaceutical Sales and Marketing Updates

Our sales team continues to expand opportunities within existing and new clients. We are focused on adding additional brands at existing clients, expanding the utilization of our network for existing brands, and obtaining new clients.

Additionally, we are expanding our non e-Coupon services as follows:

We are also continuing to ramp up our marketing efforts as follows:

With the growth of both our pharmaceutical products and our distribution network, we expect that our distribution of e-coupons will continue to increase substantially over last year.

Financial Update

We generated positive cash flow from operations, when ignoring working capital fluctuations, of approximately $400,000 in 2014 as set forth in the following table.

Operational Update

In 2015, we are intensively focused on increasing physician utilization of our partner networks. Prior to the launch of the Practice Fusion network, the total reach of our partner networks was approximately 300,000 providers. However, only approximately 100,000 providers have access to eCoupon functionality. Approximately 65,000 providers have used our eCoupon functionality at least once, but only approximately 20,000 providers actually use the networks regularly at the present time. We are working individually with each of our partners based on their particular situation to improve workflow to increase coupon utilization by those providers that have access, obtain access for those providers that currently do not have e-coupon access, and increase overall revenue derived from each channel. We believe there is significant revenue growth available within our existing brands by better utilization of our existing partner networks in addition to the revenue growth provided by new brands and new network partners.  

Technology Updates

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

We have launched downloadable “wrapper” code, which streamlines the integration requirements for our solution from a few weeks to a few days, if EHR channel partners choose to utilize this method. This addresses one of the biggest hurdles we face in getting health systems and EHRs to implement our system, given the extensive demand on their available technical resources.

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

Other Key Events in 2014

During 2014, we also successfully completed a $10 million capital raise and exercised the option to redeem Vicis Capital Master Fund’s holdings in our company. By successfully executing these initiatives we reduced potential fully diluted shares by approximately 7 million and provided an additional $2.8 million in working capital to support our growth and eliminate dividend payments and other unfavorable provisions of Vicis’ preferred stock.

We added two new outside members to our Board of Directors. Gus Halas has an extensive operating background at a variety of companies across a wide range of industries. He brings broad based business and investor perspectives to our senior leadership and is a real asset to us as we hone our strategy and further position ourselves for growth acceleration. Dr. Jack Pinney brings broad based medical knowledge and extensive experience in physician practice and an important user perspective to our Board of Directors and works with us to better understand how we can help more healthcare providers utilize our automated access to needed information and support for their practice and patients.

We expanded our senior leadership team by adding Ed Berger, a former AstraZenica global marketing director with extensive contacts throughout the pharmaceutical industry to lead our sales efforts on the east coast. We also added Doug Baker as our Chief Financial Officer, a certified public accountant with extensive financial experience with public companies.

In August 2014, we settled litigation related to a patent infringement case with Physicians Interactive Holdings, Inc. and Skyscape.com. All actions and claims have been released. We believe this settlement will reduce legal expenses moving forward.

Summary

Despite the lengthy sales cycle involved in creating this new e-coupon market, we remain very excited about our core e-coupon business and expect acceleration to continue with the launch of additional channels and our joint pursuit of leading health systems with our pharmaceutical partners. We expect our active network to grow substantially in 2015 and feel confident our active users will double by the end of the second quarter of 2015 based on anticipated contractual and platform commitments being implemented.

We are also pleased with the status of our current discussions with, and the value recognized by, leading veterinary platform providers that are interested in partnering to deliver similar automated savings to animal owners—while allowing veterinarians to remain competitive in their pharmacy business. These discussions are leading to expanded ways we can offer savings directly to veterinarians—as well as to their pet owners outside of the vet clinics.

Principal Products and Applications

Our principal products and applications can be summarized as follows:

Marketing and Sales

We continue to extend our marketing efforts to build both brand and capabilities awareness in the market. As previously discussed, we continue to actively participate in industry and partner events such as exlPharma and the ACE – Allscripts Users Conference as well as taking a lead sponsor position in the CBInet eRx and EHR conferences in March and October of 2014. We are also a cosponsor of the March 2015 conference. During the course of the year, we also initiated and delivered successful email marketing campaigns, which generated viable leads for our sales force.

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

Additionally, in 2014, we hired a highly seasoned Sales and Marketing Executive, who has decades of global pharmaceutical marketing and sales experience at AstraZeneca and elsewhere, as our Eastern Vice President of Sales. We continue to be alert for qualified sales personnel and will expand our sales force as revenues continue to grow.

Competition

Our SampleMD platform competes in the highly competitive pharmaceutical and healthcare advertising industry that is dominated by large well-known companies with established names, solid market niches, wide arrays of product offerings and marketing networks. Coupon offerings compete for pharmaceutical budgets with a variety of other forms of advertising and promotion.

Despite these overall competitors, we do not have major competition in our space of the market. We have been experiencing a growing list of potential partners whom either have content that want to deliver through the SampleMD engine and network, or whom have complementary technology and want to integrate our solution as a channel partner, expanding our reach to clinicians. The primary competitors in our space of the market are PDR Network, LLC and Physicians Interactive Holdings, Inc. However, we believe our breadth of brands offered, extensive list of pharmaceutical clients, and the vast reach of our network give us a substantial advantage and allows us to achieve a dominant position in the marketplace.

Intellectual Property

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

In addition, we have hired Harness, Dickey & Pierce, a nationally ranked IP firm, to further expand and protect our intellectual property. Through them, we have filed two additional patents on our technology. We believe our current and expanding IP will allow us to continue being the leader in this rapidly growing space.

OPTIMIZERx and SampleMD are both licensed trademarks of ours.

Government Regulation

Fraud and Abuse Laws

Anti-Kickback Statutes

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

False Claims Laws

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

Privacy and Security

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

Employees

As of December 31, 2014, we had 12 full time employees and 1 part time employee, in addition to contracted programmers, as needed, through our established relationship with Simple eSolutions, a technical and programming resources partner. Additionally, we have one contracted business development individual targeting new EMR channel and pharma clients.

Subsidiaries

We conduct our operations through our wholly-owned subsidiary, OptimizeRx Michigan.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risks Relating to Business and Financial Condition

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

Since the inception of our business we have historically incurred losses. While we have increased revenues significantly, we have not yet been able to achieve profitability due to significant investments in our growth. Our ability to achieve consistent profitability depends on our ability to generate sales through our technology platform and advertising model, while maintaining reasonable expense levels. If we do not achieve sustainable profitability, it may impact our ability to continue our operations.

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

Our success depends on the expertise of our executive officers and certain other key technical personnel. It may be difficult to find sufficiently qualified individuals to replace management or other key technical personnel in the event of death, disability or resignation, thus frustrating our ability to implement our business plan, which could negatively affect our operating results.

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

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

We currently work with many leading pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer, Eli Lilly, Auxilium, Actavis, AstraZeneca, Alcon, Daichi Sankyo, Shire, Activis, and others. Our failure to retain existing customers or expand with new customers could negatively impact our business.

We are dependent on a concentrated group of customers

Our revenues are concentrated in approximately 25 customers, primarily large pharmaceutical manufacturers and large advertising agencies. Approximately 64% of our revenue came from our largest five customers. Loss of one or more of these customers could have a significant negative impact on our operating results.

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

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

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

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

Our agreements with electronic prescription platforms are subject to audit, which could subject us to additional costs that might affect our results of operations.

Our agreements with our electronic prescription platform partners provide for revenue sharing payments to the platform partners based on the revenue we generate through the platform. These payments are subject to audit by our partners, at their cost, and if there is a dispute as to the calculation, we may be liable for additional payments. If an underpayment is determined to be in excess of a certain amount, for example 10%, some agreements would require us to pay for the cost of the audit, as well.

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

We have completed the development and migration of SampleMD 2.0’s on-demand, rule based content delivery platform. The system can now manage up to 1 million rules and return the appropriate content within 1 second. This allows unsurpassed response time to avoid delays, and the ability to meet the upcoming dramatic scale we expect. Despite the launch of Sample MD 2.0, attracting and retaining users of our portals requires us to continue to improve the technology underlying those portals and to continue to develop new and updated applications, features and services for those portals. If we are unable to do so on a timely basis or if we are unable to implement new applications, features and services without disruption to our existing ones, we may lose potential users and clients. The costs of development of these enhancements may negatively impact our ability to achieve profitability.

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

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

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

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

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

Developments in the healthcare industry could adversely affect our business

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

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

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

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

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

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

We are currently involved in litigation and other disputes, as described in Item 3 of this report. As we continue to grow, we can expect to have to deal with lawsuits that affect our business. Lawsuits are uncertain and involve a substantial degree of risk. If we are unable to successfully prosecute or defend these actions, our financial condition and results of operations could suffer.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Our business is subject to changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure

Because our common stock is publicly traded, we are subject to certain rules and regulations of federal and state entities charged with the protection of investors and the oversight of companies whose securities are publicly traded. These entities have continued to develop additional regulations and requirements in response to laws enacted by Congress, most notably the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Complying with these new regulations has resulted in, and is likely to continue to result in, increased general and administrative costs and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating and other business activities to compliance activities.

Risks Relating to Our Securities

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

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

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

Because we are subject to the “Penny Stock” rules, the level of trading activity in our stock may be reduced.

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

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

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

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

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

Item 2. Properties

Currently, we do not own any real estate. Our principal executive offices are located at 400 Water Street, Suite 200, Rochester, Michigan, 48307.  We initially entered into a 3 year lease for this 2,886 square foot facility, with a cost of $5,049.25 per month. We renewed that lease for a two year period on December 1, 2014 for a monthly rental rate of $5,201.50. We believe that our properties are adequate for our current needs, but growth potential may require larger facilities due to anticipated addition of personnel. We do not have any policies regarding investments in real estate, securities or other forms of property. 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

In September 2014, we initial litigation against Shadron Stastney, our previous CEO, in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Michigan as a result of a dispute related to his separation agreement. Mr. Stastney alleged damages related to the non-registration of shares that he was granted as part of his separation agreement signed in September 2013. Under the terms of the contract we are not unconditionally obligated to register the shares and we deny any obligation to do so. We have requested declarative relief from the court and also requested an injunction from the court preventing Mr. Stastney from continuing to pursue his claims. Mr. Stastney has filed a counterclaim requesting damages of $450,000 related to the nonregistration of his shares.

In March 2015, we initiated litigation against LDM Group, LLC and PDR Network, LLC in the United States District Court in the Eastern District of Missouri related to the breach by LDM, and PDR as successor, of the settlement agreement signed February 28, 2014 related to previous litigation with LDM. LDM has failed to live up to its obligations under the settlement agreement including, but not limited to, not allowing us to distribute our eCoupon programs in the LDM network, not allowing us to distribute the LDM patient education programs, and not providing other information required under the settlement agreement. We are seeking enforcement of the settlement agreement and we are seeking damages in an amount at least equal to the amounts paid to date to LDM under the settlement agreement, which approximates $900,000, as well as damages for lost income and business value as a result of LDM’s breach of the agreement.

In March 2015, we also initiated litigation against PDR Network, LLC in the United States District Court in the District of New Jersey as a result of PDR’s breach of the Master Services Agreement between the parties requiring PDR to exclusively use our eCoupon solution. We assert that PDR’s acquisition of LDM and the use of the LDM network to distribute coupons by PDR violates the agreement between the parties and we are seeking damages in an amount at least equal the amounts paid to date by us to LDM under the settlement agreement, which approximates $900,000, as well as damages for lost income and business value as a result of PDR’s actions.

In early 2014, Mr. Milton Wilpon (“Mr. Wilpon”) of New Jersey claimed to have obtained a default judgment for approximately $929,000 in the New Jersey Superior Court, Essex County (the “Judgment”) against a predecessor of ours and was seeking to amend the Judgment to add us as a judgment debtor.   We appeared in the action and filed a motion to vacate the Judgment on several grounds. , In September 2014, the Court granted our motion and vacated the Judgment in its entirety and dismissed the action.  

However, in December 2014, we were served with a copy of a Demand for Arbitration filed by Mr. Wilpon relating to his claims under the Settlement Agreement.  On February 24, 2015, we filed an appearance with the AAA objecting to the arbitration on several grounds, including (1) that claims arose in 2001 and are barred by the applicable statute of limitations; (2) plaintiff did not properly serve and file the demand for arbitration and (3) plaintiff has not followed the proper procedure for the appointment of an arbitrator as provided by the Settlement Agreement.   We will continue to vigorously oppose Mr. Wilpon’s claims.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Market Information

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

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

On March 20, 2015, the last sales price per share of our common stock was $1.36.

Penny Stock

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

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

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

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

Holders of Our Common Stock

As of March 20, 2015, we had 22,912,319 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by 326 shareholders of record at our transfer agent, with approximately 1,000 additional shareholders holding our shares in street name.

Dividends

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

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

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

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

On June 13, 2013, our Board of Directors adopted the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility with us, to provide additional incentive to employees, directors and consultants, and to promote our success. Under the Plan, we may issue up to an aggregate total of 1,500,000 incentive or non-qualified options to purchase our common stock or stock awards.

Equity Compensation Plans as of December 31, 2014

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

The information set forth below relates to our issuances of securities without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 during the reporting period which were not previously included in a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Current Report on Form 8-K.

In January 2015, we issued 12,500 shares of restricted common stock to our outside Directors as part of our director compensation package for services rendered in the fourth quarter of 2014.

In March 2015, we signed a capital markets advisory agreement whereby we agreed to issue 90,000 shares of common stock in two increments as payment for the advisory services. The first 45,000 shares were issued in March 2015.

These securities were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The holders represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view towards distribution. The investors were given adequate information about us to make an informed investment decision. We did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising. We directed our transfer agent to issue the stock certificates with the appropriate restrictive legend affixed to the restricted stock.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013

Revenues

Our total revenue reported for the year ended December 31, 2014 was approximately $6.5 million, an increase of 39% from the year ended December 31, 2013. This increased revenue resulted from increases in all major revenue categories including setup fees, reporting fees, and eCoupon distributions and resulted from both increased pharmaceutical brands being promoted and expanded distribution channels. We expect continued revenue increases in 2015.

Because the pharmaceutical industry is dominated by large companies with multiple brands, our revenue is concentrated in a relatively small number of companies. We have approximately 25 pharmaceutical companies as customers and we received approximately 64% of our revenue in the year ended December 31, 2014 from our largest 5 customers, with approximately 20% of revenue from our largest customer. During the year ended December 31, 2013, approximately 75% of revenue came from our 5 largest customers, with 36% from our largest customer. While we are still dependent on major customers, as our customer base expands, we are becoming less dependent on any one customer.

Cost of Sales

Our cost of sales, composed of revenue share expense, increased in the year ended December 31, 2014, over the year ended December 31, 2013 as a result of the revenue increases. In addition, revenue share expense as a percentage of revenue in 2014 increased over 2013 from approximately 40% in the year ended December 31, 2013 to approximately 50% in the year ended December 31, 2014.

These increases in revenue share expense as a percentage of revenue result from a combination of factors, including product mix whereby a larger percentage of overall revenues are subject to revenue share, the LDM settlement agreement, which resulted in increased revenue share payments, and increased distributions at channel partners with financial incentives to increase distributions that result in higher payments per distribution. We expect revenue share expense as a percentage of revenue in 2015 to continue at levels similar to, or greater than, that of 2014 as revenues subject to revenue share expense continues to increase as a percentage of our overall revenues, and as a result of the LDM agreement being in effect for all of 2015, compared with only 10 months of 2014.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased to approximately $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 from approximately $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of approximately 40%. The detail by major category is reflected in the table below.

The main reasons for the increase in operating expenses in 2014 are stock-based compensation, and the lawsuit settlement, which resulted in a $400,000 payment to the plaintiff. Ignoring those items, operating expenses only increased approximately 7% compared with a revenue increase of approximately 40%. The lawsuit settlement is a one-time expense that is not expected to recur, although as discussed above, it affects revenue share expense on an ongoing basis. Stock based compensation expense increased significantly as a result of stock grants to two executive officers and option grants to new and existing employees. We expect that stock compensation expenses will be significantly reduced in 2015 as there are no stock grants scheduled, aside from some remaining shares that will come due in 2015 to our new directors under our Director Compensation Plan, and amortization of the stock granted to the previous CEO has been completed.

Within the remaining operating expenses, there were a variety of increases, some of which were offset by savings in other areas. Salaries, wages and benefits increased as a result of additional staff. Professional fees decreased primarily as a result of the resolution of litigation in 2014, resulting in lower legal fees. Advertising and promotion increased as a result of our sponsorship of eCoupon conferences. Development and Maintenance increased as a result of expansion of our system capacity and capabilities.

Net Loss

We finished the year ended December 31, 2014 with a loss of approximately $1.0 million, as compared to a loss of approximately $0.25 million during the year ended December 31, 2013. The reasons for specific components are discussed above. Overall, the increase in revenue and resulting gross margin was offset by increased operating expenses, however the majority of those increases were in non-recurring or non-cash items. The lawsuit settlement with LDM accounted for $400,000 of the increased loss. In addition, the 2014 loss included noncash items of approximately $1.2 million related to stock based compensation and approximately $264,000 of depreciation and amortization. Ignoring working capital changes, we had positive cash flow from operations of approximately $400,000 during the year ended December 31, 2014. In the year ended December 31, 2013, the loss of approximately $267,000 included non-cash expenses of only approximately $525,000 in stock-based compensation and $195,000 in depreciation and amortization, resulting in cash flow from operations (ignoring working capital items) of slightly over $450,000 in 2013.

Quarterly Financial Information

As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, we have restated our 2013 financial statements. The restatement relates to unrecorded stock compensation related to investor relations and consulting services, unrecorded revenue share payables, and changes in revenue recognition, all occurring during the year ended December 31, 2013. The revenue recognition relates to promotional programs started in 2013 that were expected to be completed in 2013, but actually carried over into 2014. These items were discovered as a result of their effect on the 2014 financial statements and a result, the quarterly financial statements also will be restated. Following are the restated income statement numbers for the first three quarters that will be used in the 2015 quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as well as the fourth quarter amounts for information purposes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2014, we had total current assets of approximately $5.6 million, compared with current liabilities of approximately $2.4 million, resulting in working capital of approximately $3.2 million and a current ratio of approximately 2.3 to 1. This is a significant improvement over the working capital balance of approximately $350,000 and current ratio of 1.15 to 1 at December 31, 2013. The increase is largely due to the private offering we conducted in March of 2014, resulting in $2.8 million in working capital. We are currently generating positive cash flow from operations, ignoring working capital fluctuations, and we expect our working capital balance to continue to improve in future quarters.

Our operating activities used approximately $50,000 in the year ended December 31, 2014, however, this was significantly impacted by working capital items, primarily an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $589,000 as a result of increasing sales throughout the year. Without this, we would have had positive cash flow from operations and we expect positive cash flow from operations in future quarters in 2015 and for the full year in 2015. When ignoring working capital fluctuations, we generated positive cash flow from operations in both years as shown in the table below.

We used approximately $400,000 in investing activities in the year ended December 31, 2014 compared with about $300,000 in the year ended December 31, 2013. These investment activities relate to improvements being implemented in our SampleMD website, as well as protection and expansion of our patent portfolio. These items both represent important components of our business strategy moving forward.

Financing activities provided approximately $2.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2014. This results from a $10 million equity raise in March 2014, partially offset by costs of the raise and redemption of all the common stock, preferred stock, and warrants held by a major shareholder that significantly reduced the potential fully diluted shares count, even when considering the new equity issued. The redemption also alleviated further dilution in connection with dividends payable to the preferred shareholder. With the financing and cash on hand, we have sufficient cash to operate our business for more than the next twelve months and we do not anticipate the need to raise additional equity for operating purposes. There were no cash flows from financing activities in the same period in 2013.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2014, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

A “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Our accounting policies are discussed in detail in the footnotes to our financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, however, we consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to revenue recognition, calculation of revenue share expense, stock-based compensation, capitalization and related amortization of intangible assets, and impairment of assets.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operation, financial position or cash flow.

The 2013 financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

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

In our opinion, except for the errors described in Note 17, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of OptimizeRx Corporation as of December 31, 2013, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the adjustments for the correction of the errors described in Note 17 and, accordingly, do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance about whether such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. Those adjustments were audited by KLJ & Associates, LLP.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2014

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS

OptimizeRx Corporation, is a technology solutions company targeting the health care industry. Our objective is to bring better access to better care through connecting patients, physicians and pharmaceutical manufacturers through technology. Originally defined as a marketing and advertising company through our consumer website, we have matured into a technology solutions provider as we launched our direct to physician solution, SampleMD. SampleMD allows physicians to search, print and send available sample trial vouchers and/or co-pay coupons on behalf of their patients. The SampleMD solution is integrated into the physician’s ePrescribing or Electronic Medical Records applications, but could also be a stand-alone desktop application. OptimizeRx solutions provide pharmaceutical manufacturers a direct to physician channel for communicating and promoting their products. It provides health care providers a means to provide sampling and coupons without having to physically store samples on site, and it provides better access and affordability to patients.

The company was originally formed as Optimizer Systems, LLC in the State of Michigan on January 31, 2006. It incorporated in the State of Michigan on October 22, 2007 and changed its name to OptimizeRx Corporation. On April 14, 2008, RFID, Ltd., a Colorado corporation, consummated a reverse merger by entering into a share exchange agreement with the stockholders of OptimizeRx Corporation, pursuant to which the stockholders of OptimizeRx Corporation exchanged all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of OptimizeRx Corporation for 1,256,958 shares of common stock of RFID, Ltd., representing 100% of the outstanding capital stock of RFID, Ltd. As of April 30, 2008, RFID’s officers and directors resigned their positions and RFID changed its business to OptimizeRx’s business. On April 15, 2008, RFID, Ltd.’s corporate name was changed to OptimizeRx Corporation. On September 4, 2008, a migratory merger was completed, thereby changing the state of incorporation from Colorado to Nevada, resulting in the current corporate structure, in which OptimizeRx Corporation, a Nevada corporation, is the parent corporation, and OptimizeRx Corporation, a Michigan corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary (together, "OptimizeRx" and "the Company").

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accounts payable – related party, accrued expenses and deferred revenue approximates the carrying amount of these financial instruments due to their short-term nature.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

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

OPTIMIZERx CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2014

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Property and Equipment

The capital assets are being depreciated over their estimated useful lives of three to seven years using the straight-line method of depreciation for book purposes.

Revenue Recognition and Revenue Share Expense

Revenue is recognized when it is earned. Revenues are generated from our SampleMD activities in which we deliver eCoupons and eVouchers through a distribution network of ePrescribers and Electronic Health Record technology providers (channel partners), or from reselling services that complement our business for other of our partners.

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

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

Based on the volume of transactions that are delivered through our channel partner network, we provide a revenue share to compensate the partner for their promotion of the campaign. Revenue shares are a negotiated percentage of the transaction fees and can also be specific to special considerations and campaigns. In addition, we pay revenue share to PDR/LDM as a result of a 2014 legal settlement in an amount equal to the greater of 10% of eCoupon revenues generated or $0.37 per eCoupon distributed.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions have been made in determining the depreciable lives of such assets and the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risks

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

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Research and Development

The Company expenses research and development expenses as incurred. Our research efforts are focused on understanding the market dynamics that have the potential to affect the business in both the short and long term. Our primary goal is to help patients better afford and access the medicines their doctor prescribes, as well as other healthcare products and services they need. Based on this, the Company continually seeks better ways to meet this mission through improved technology, better user experiences and new ways to engage industries to provide new support for patients needing their products, as well seeking new services and solutions to offer.

Share-based Payments

The Company uses the fair value method to account for stock-based compensation. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered. The fair value of each award is estimated on the date of each grant. For restricted stock the fair market value is based on the market value of the stock granted on the date of the grant. For options, it is estimated using the Black Scholes option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Estimated volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock over the same period as the expected term of the options. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise behavior and to determine this term. The risk free rate used is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant using a time period equal to the expected option term. The Company has never paid dividends and does not expect to pay any dividends in the future.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model and other existing models were developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. These option valuation models require the input of, and are highly sensitive to, subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. OptimizerRx’s stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the subjective input assumptions could materially affect the fair value estimate.

Loss Per Common and Common Equivalent Share

The computation of basic earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year plus common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise of warrants outstanding using the treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the year. Options, warrants and convertible preferred stock have not been included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for either year since their effect is anti-dilutive.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

Prepaid expenses consisted of the following as of December 31, 2014 and 2013:

Non-qualified options may be issued at option prices of less than fair market value on the date of grant and are exercisable for up to ten years from date of grant. The option vesting schedule for options granted is determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at the time of the grant. The Plan provides for accelerated vesting of unvested options if there is a change in control, as defined in the plan.
