ITEM 1.     BUSINESS

 

Company Overview

True Nature Holding, Inc. (the “Company”“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), previously known as Trunity Holdings, Inc., a Delaware “C” corporation, became a publicly-traded company through a reverse triangular merger with Brain Tree International, Inc., a Utah corporation (“BTI”). Trunity Holdings, Inc. was the parent company of the priorour educational business, named Trunity, Inc., which was formed on July 28, 2009 through the acquisition of certain intellectual property byfrom its three founders. On December 9, 2015 the Company made a decision to restructure Trunity Holdings, Inc., having acquired Newco4pharmacy, LLC, a development stage business aimed at a roll-up of compounding pharmacy businesses


True Nature Holding, Inc. is executing on a business plan to acquire a series of businesses which specialize in compounding pharmacy activities, largely direct to consumers, doctors and veterinary professionals. During 2016 the Company negotiated several agreements for the acquisition of compounding pharmacy operations, and consummated one (1). P3 Compounding Pharmacy, dba Integrity Compound, of Dunwoody Georgia completed the transfer of its pharmacy license, and was acquired on June 29, 2016. Management quickly determined that its financial needs and business plan was not in concert with the financial goals of the Company, and on September 30, 2016, the Company was deconsolidated.businesses. As a resultpart of such restructuring, we competed a “spin out” transaction of our educational business line to our shareholders as of December 31, 2015.

Our business during 2018 was focused in the deconsolidation, we do not have any operations under management at this time. The Company has since installed new managementarea of software and a refined business plan for roll-up,solutions, predominantly in the healthcare sector, generally described as the healthcare information and executed a letter intent, and other informal agreements to proceed on its plans.


Description of Pharmaceutical Compounding


Today, the vast majority of medications are mass-produced by pharmaceutical drug companies. They aim to treat a specific medical conditiontechnology (HCIT) market. We announced plans for a large segmentpersonal healthcare records (PHR) application, SimpleHIPAA, which will allow individuals to track their personal healthcare information. This type of people. Problems can arise when a patient has a medical condition that can’t be treated by one of these mass-produced products. Pharmaceutical compounding (done in compounding pharmacies)application is intended to include information from the creation of a particular pharmaceutical product prescribed by doctors to fit the unique needs of a patient that can’t be met by commercially available drugs. To do this, compounding pharmacists combine or process appropriate ingredients using various tools. This may be done for medically necessary reasons, such as to change the form of the medication from a solid pill to a liquid, to avoid a non-essential ingredient that the patient is allergic to, or to obtain the exact dose(s) needed or deemed best of particular active pharmaceutical ingredient(s). It may also be done for more optional reasons, such as adding flavors to a medication or otherwise altering taste or texture. Examples of compounded formulations include medications with alternative dosage strengths or unique dosage forms, such as topical creams or gels, suspensions or solutions with more tolerable drug delivery vehicles. Compounding pharmacies (and pharmacists) adhere to standards and regulations set by the U.S. Pharmacopeia, National Association of Boards and State Boards of Pharmacy for quality assurance and accuracy. The compounding pharmacy business has the potential to provide high margins, and allow the pharmacy to specialize is certain solutions for specific maladies, so it can target specific markets efficiently. Licensing of these businesses can be under a “503A” license where only a prescription for an individual, can be filled, or a “503B” license, which allows the operator to prepare medications for both individuals, and for stocking inventory at doctor's offices and hospitals.


New Divisional Structure


During 2016, and following the deconsolidation of P3, we revised our approach to the business strategy, and added the concept of incorporating a retail, more traditional, pharmacy business with the compounding pharmacy we had originally focused on. We also decided to develop a library of intellectual properties (IP), including specialized formulations and compounds of pharmaceutical materials, as well as potential softwaredata from healthcare providers extracted from their electronic healthcare records (EHR) systems. Data from individuals might include manual input or from personal devices such as watches, activity trackers and systems, intodiagnostic devices such as glucose meters or blood pressure measuring devices. Information from healthcare providers might include data gathered from regular doctor visits, specialized care, or even a dedicated subsidiary. While we expect immediate financial resultssimple as prescription information from a pharmacy.

Our initial implementation of “SimpleHIPAA”, and “SimpleHIPAA for Vets and Pets”, is intended to include data from pharmacy and prescribers, generated at the time a prescription is written. This information will be embedded inside the application and made available to the end user from both the healthcare provider and from the retailpharmacy. While providing a starting point for tracking healthcare information for the end user, it also establishes a communications method between the end user and compounding areas,the healthcare provider, and the pharmacy. This communications channel, often thought of as “telemedicine” can allow the end user to provide feedback to the healthcare provider, the pharmacy, or other parties of the end user’s choice.

We have established a design that allows the same product to be used for both human and pet situations, and in a simple form. Further, recognizing that controlling costs is an issue in healthcare, we believeare providing for advertising to be included in the IPdesign. This should both mitigate the costs to deploy the solution for all parties, and technology business will require substantial timealso perhaps incentivize the end user to mature intostay engaged with the application long term for the coupons, points or other benefits that advertising participants might provide.

Our strategy is to deploy SimpleHIPAA and SimpleHIPAA for Vets and Pets using a profitable business.“top down” distribution through suppliers of healthcare materials who might provide the application to pharmacy and healthcare providers as a means of selling their products more efficiently, and with a “bottom up” approach, letting the end user download and use the application with data already embedded from their healthcare provider or pharmacy.


As a result of this revised approach, the Company intends to create three (3) wholly owned subsidiaries to hold its operations.




The initial development began in mid-2018, and it is currently awaiting the completion of testing at its first "TN Retail, LLC" will hold its retail storefront operations. These storefront locations will providesite, a pharmacy in south Florida with a 15-year history in both conventional pharmacy products, as well as unique compounding based solutions. The store will focus on "healthy, holistichuman and natural solutions", alongveterinary services. We have also explored the linesdevelopment of a "Whole Foods of Pharmacy" like marketing approach. This becomesnext generation pharmacy management system that would embrace tools for compliance with new regulatory requirements in the "feeder system" for salespharmacy industry and expect to our planned compounding production facilities.


have a final decision on that project by mid-2019.

There

While this project continues, we are also evaluating other applications, generally, but not exclusively in the healthcare area. We believe that new technologies such as voice recognition, virtual reality and robotics will be a separate subsidiary for its compounding pharmacy, back office productionall provide excellent vehicles to update traditional information management systems and central fill operations called "TN Compounding, LLC". This will initially be focused onfind quick acceptance in the acquisition of 503a license operations, though management has envisioned a network of these facilities located regionally. It may consider a 503b licensed operation to accommodate the ability to provide both sterile and non-sterile products, including products for stocking inventory at medical offices and hospitals.


Lastly, it expects to acquire unique related technologies, including a growing library of specialized formulations. Many of these formulations will be unique to its operations, and some it expects to either license to others for mass market distribution, or it may produce for stocking inventory at a 503b qualified facility. The entity"TN Technologies, LLC"will hold those intellectual property assets,healthcare field as well as other novel new approaches itlarge and more traditional markets.

Within the healthcare arena one of the most active areas involves software that provides “interoperability”, the interfacing of systems and data so that information may engagebe shared effectively. We believe there will be many opportunities in directly,this application area, as older systems are integrated with newer, or under a license granted from the holders.more specialized systems, but we have not taken any actions in pursuit of these opportunities and no guarantee can be made if we enter this space, that we will be successful.

Acquisition of Compounding Pharmacy BusinessesAbout Telehealth and FinancingTelemedicine Software and Systems


The following was extracted from a white paper developed by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, which can be found at: https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/pages/public-sector/articles/empowering-patients-with-telehealth.html?id=us:2ps:3bi:lookagainfy18:eng:greendot:110117:nonem:na:2tFz6Z1U:1077544565:76897126470004:bb:Technology:Telehealth_BMM:nb&msclkid=784383ea0cc71239f606d95af48276fd.

Empowering patients with telehealth -A call to action

Challenges facing care delivery in today’s health care environment are considerable and will require strategies and solutions to address extending care access, improving care quality, and lowering the cost of care. Telehealth is an essential component of achieving this “triple aim” and paving the way for system-wide improvement and goal attainment.

Telehealth: A component of health care transformation

As the health care industry continues to evolve to meet patients’ health care needs, providers should consider the implementation of a telehealth solution that enhances current capabilities and extends timely, convenient, affordable, and high quality care that patients and their beneficiaries deserve.

Patient stories: A wide variety of telehealth use cases

Today, Americans face a number of daunting obstacles to receiving the care they need. Not all health care systems have the capability of prioritizing the need, urgency, and modality of care for incoming appointments, leaving patients with serious medical issues in potentially life-threatening situations. Conversely, many simple ailments could be addressed with minimal time and health care resources.

Telehealth can enable immediate assessment and triage, extend and improve primary care, increase access to high-demand specialty care, facilitate behavioral health support, and advance chronic disease management and home care.

Successful implementation of a telehealth platform

The successful deployment of a telehealth solution, like any large-scale implementation, requires a well-coordinated design and execution effort. Such an implementation comprises several components: governance development, a broad needs assessment, technology assessment, information exchange, training strategy, workflow redesign, and user outreach strategy. These factors are critical to realizing the full benefits of telehealth.

Telehealth powers of tomorrow

Telehealth can enable health care systems to extend high quality care to patients throughout their journey across the care spectrum, from initial triage and primary care, through to specialty medicine and home care. Telehealth is also a powerful tool to help health care systems optimize the use of their clinician talent and resources, regardless of where they physically reside—providers can perform telehealth visits with patients across state boundaries, bringing expert care to a patient bedside or into a patient home when needed. Lastly, telehealth offers a means for patients and providers to connect more frequently without the geographic and mobility barriers presented by in-person visits.

Momentum for modern telehealth adoption is accelerating. Health care systems now have the opportunity to implement the next phase of powerful health technology—flexible, real-time telehealth that brings care to patients anytime, anywhere.

Potential Application of Blockchain Technology

While we have not yet begun any specific development efforts, we intend to explore the use of blockchain encryption technology as a service bureau offering. On a blockchain, transactions are recorded chronologically by forming an immutable chain, and can be anonymous depending on how the technology is implemented. The ledger is distributed across many participants in the network. Copies of data exist, and are simultaneously updated with, every fully participating node in the ecosystem. The Company intendsbelieves this technology may become useful in providing services in connection with required government reporting for drug purchase and dispensing, preparing for future Government data compliance requirements; Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCA) compliance; enhanced HIPPA compliance; enhanced patient services & privacy; and provider payment ratios tracking.

6

All of these implementations are aimed at healthcare segments plus customize applications by contract. The Company has applied for the trademark “Blockchain RX” with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

The Blockchain RX product trademark application includes the following descriptions:

Pharmaceutical preparations over the counter (OTC) pharmacy, controlled substances, medical services, physician qualifications and license tracking, patient medical records;

Electrical apparatus; software and systems for both internal and external use applying blockchain technology to medical services and products, including but not limited to pharmaceutical materials and to include technical and license qualifications for providers;

Medical instrument; registration of medical technologies for product and service providers both internally and to external markets and providers;

Computer and technological professional services; software and systems for the application of blockchain technologies in the medical services, medical products, pharmacy products and services, and patient and physicians’ records and qualifications;

Medical, beauty and agricultural services; products and services related to medical applications, products, treatments including professional services and client and patient records as well as provider qualifications; and

Personal protection services, legal services and social services; protection and tracking of patient records, treatments, professional qualifications, patient records and sharing both internally and to external sources.

The Effect of Amazon, Apple, Google and others of size

We recognize it will take the investment of major market participants like Apple, Amazon, IBM, hospitals, healthcare networks, pharmacy and other providers for us to target compounders who have a) strong regulatory compliance history, b)achieve critical mass in this industry. In consideration of this reality, we expect to work with these market makers in collaboration, and support of the ultimate user, the individual. We believe these large-scale providers need smaller developers in order to extend the use of their systems and services into the healthcare marketplace. The day of “direct-to-consumer” healthcare, is upon us, and we hope to be key parties to their evolution, and success. 

Health Care and Health Care IT Industry

Health care expenditures continue to consume an increasing portion of most economies. In the U.S., health care spending increased 3.9 percent to $3.5 trillion in 2017, and now represents 17.9 percent of the U.S.’ Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”). An aging population and high levels of chronic conditions are contributing to expectations that health care expenditures will continue growing faster than the economy. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) estimates annual U.S. healthcare spending will grow at an average rate of 5.5 percent through 2026 and reach $5.7 trillion, or 19.7 percent of U.S. GDP by 2026. We believe this trajectory is unsustainable and that health care IT (“HCIT”) may play an important role in facilitating a record of profitable operations, c)shift from a large cash payor component (vs. insurance reimbursement), or an abilityhigh-cost health care system that incents volume to a proactive system that incents health, quality and efficiency.

For this change to occur, we believe traditional fee-for-service (“FFS”) reimbursement models must continue to shift to value-based approaches that are more aligned with quality, outcomes, and efficiency. The shift away from insurancetraditional FFS is evident in growth of lives covered under Accountable Care Organizations (“ACOs”). ACOs are groups of hospitals and providers that focus on providing coordinated, high quality care to cash for their revenue, d) operations that represent a geographical “hub”Medicare, Medicaid, or “spoke” when consideredcommercially insured populations and then share in relationsavings created by lowering the cost of care. According to other compounders, and e) where the combination of operations including embedded retail, and online, facilitates cross selling of a growing line of products.   

We have agreements in place, or in negotiation, for the acquisition of three (3) unique business operations. In total, they finished 2016 with over $30Leavitt Partners, lives covered under ACOs grew from approximately 5 million in annualized revenue,2011 to more than 32 million in 2018.

In addition to the increasing number of lives covered under ACOs, the structure of ACOs is evolving to where providers are expected to assume more risk. Currently, most ACO contracts are upside only, which means providers can receive bonuses for good performance, but they assume no downside for underperformance. In 2018, CMS released a rule called “Pathways to Success” that accelerates the timeframe during which providers need to move to ACOs that include both upside bonuses and downside penalties. We believe this shift is important as assumption of risk by providers creates a strong incentive for them to improve care coordination and deliver high quality care at a lower cost.

Another step towards a value-based reimbursement models occurred with the passage of The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (“MACRA”), which enacts significant reforms to the payment programs under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule and consolidated three current value-based programs into one.

7

While each of the different approaches to aligning reimbursement with value will continue to evolve, we believe the trend away from traditional FFS will continue. We believe this growth in government and private models aligning payment with value, quality and outcomes will drive major changes in the way health care is provided in the next decade, and we expect a much greater focus on patient engagement, wellness and prevention. As health care providers become accountable for proactively managing the health of the populations they serve, we expect them to need ongoing investment in sophisticated information technology solutions that will enable them to predict when owners’ compensationintervention is backed out,needed so they can improve outcomes and going forward management and costs included, should perform profitably. All have long operating histories, and all are currently profitable. Each acquisition is unique and come with different risks. We always note that past performances are not indicativelower the cost of future results.  Any past success is no guarantee of future profitability.providing care.

The “Southeast Group” isa three-unit compounding operation who finished 2016increasingly complex and more clinical outcomes-based reimbursement environment is also contributing to a heightened demand for revenue cycle solutions and services and a desire for these solutions and services to be more closely aligned with clinical solutions. Over the past several years, there has been a shift in the U.S. marketplace towards a preference for a single platform across inpatient and ambulatory settings. The number of physicians employed by hospitals has increased as hospitals have acquired physician groups, and health systems are recognizing the benefit of having a single patient record at over $25 million in revenues, up from $15 million in 2015. They have large library of specialty formulations. They would become the largest “hub”hospital and expand their distribution through the pending retail expansion, which begins with the “Miami Group”, with overnight home delivery at pass-through costs.

The “Miami Group” isa small retail pharmacy operation who current does 30% in compounding. They operate inside of a grocery chain, renting space from the Hispanic oriented chain in two (2) of their sixteen (16) units. Each store has over 1,500 unique client experiences, and thus far the current management has done nothing to leverage that built-in traffic.physician office. We believe the units where a new footprint can be established with generate around $1 million in annualized sales in the first 12 months after opening,smaller providers and will reach their maximum at around $2 million in annualized sales. Currently the operations are thinly staffed and do not operate even 40 hours a week. Our plans are to make this the “spoke” and move any significant preparation work to a “hub” site, either at the “Southeast Group” location, or in the “Florida Group” location.

The “Florida Group” is the business upon which the business plan was originally formed in 2016. They have a 15-year operating history, are an all cash business (no insurance reimbursement). They do half their business with veterinary operations, an area we would very much like to grow. The finished 2016 at over $2.7 million, up from $2.5 million, and they have no sales effort, no marketing and no significant presence. They have been size constrained by their facility size, and the lackregional networks of sales and marketing, though in early March they will move into a new space, fully compliant with the new USP 800 regulations. Theyhealthcare providers will be the “hub” for mostnewest users of the Florida operations, and their specialty formations fit the older, Florida market.




Changes in Management and Board of Directors


Since the spin-out of the educational software business in December 2015,technologies we have transitioned both the management team and our Board of Directors. Other than an individual allocation of 100,000 shares of restricted common stock as an annual stipend for each of the members of the Board of Directors, no payments were madeseek to any member of management, or the Board, for compensation during 2016.


We began 2016 with five (5) directors, and a single member of the management team.  By the First Quarter of 2017, the Company had in place four (4) directors and three members of the management team.

Market Opportunity


According to an industry report published by IBIS World, dated January 2015 there are over 5,500 compounding pharmaceutical groups in the U.S. with revenue of over $5.6 billion annually and profits exceeding $1.5 billion. Many of them are small, undercapitalized and without an exit strategy as their principals seek to retire and face potential challenges with changes in the regulatory requirements. While we do not currently have any acquisitions under a definitive contract, we have identified a number of prospects and expect to be able to close one, or more, acquisitions within six months. We intend to use equity to finance our initial transactions, and we have identified a number of institutional investors who have expressed interest in our approach. We expect to be able to use a combination of conventional debt, and equity in the Company, to raise the funds necessary to execute on the business plan with our first of two acquisitions during the second quarter of 2016. If we qualify, we would like to list the shares of the Company on the NASDAQ stock exchange, and create a market for the shares so that we can complete additional funding, pay off the debt we use to complete the initial acquisitions, and invest further in the businesses to achieve a greater size and scale.

Executive Summary - Our Strategy


Compounding pharmacies occupy a unique space in the pharmaceutic marketplace. They do not simply “fill” prescriptions, but rather has the capability to innovate, “invent” new applications of existing OTC medications, and even to reach down into the use of raw materials to compose new solutions. While most focus on medications unique to the needs in their local markets, some of those formulations could be applied regionally, and even nationally, with the right cost and distribution strategy.


We are a company focused on consolidation of the compounding pharmacy industry through opportunistic acquisitions, starting in the Southeast and then expanding across the US. We expect to rapidly scale the business through a combination of profitable acquisitions, organic growth and economies of scale. The concept is that a national organization can more effectively leverage a broader product line and operational efficiencies. We also intend to compliment the non-retail compounding distribution model, with retail units embedded inside existing grocery businesses and through an online “ecommerce” model.


There will be three (3) operating divisions under the publicly traded holding company. The first, expected to be named “TN Retail, LLC” would hold its retail storefront operations which would provide conventional pharmacy products and unique compounding based solutions. The store would focus on “healthy, holistic and natural solutions,” along the lines of a “Whole Foods of Pharmacy” -style marketing approach which would become the “feeder system” for sale to the Company’s expected compounding production facilities.


The second anticipated separate subsidiary would hold its compounding pharmacy, back office production and central fill operations and is expected to be named “TN Compounding, LLC.” This would be a 503a licensed operation initially, although the Company’s management envisions a network of these facilities located regionally. It may eventually consider a 503b licensed operation to accommodate the ability to provide both sterile and non-sterile products, including products for stocking inventory at medical offices and hospitals.


Lastly, the Company expects to acquire unique related technologies, including a growing library of specialized formulations. Many of these formulations are expected to be unique to its operations, and some may be licensed to others for mass market distribution, or may be produced for stocking inventory at a 503b qualified facility. The entity is expected to be named “TN Technologies, LLC” and will hold those intellectual property assets, as well as other novel new approaches it may engage in, directly, or under a license granted from the holders.


The Company intends to target compounders who have a) strong regulatory compliance history, b) a record of profitable operations, c) operations that represent a geographical “hub” or “spoke” when considered in relation to other compounders, and d) where the combination of operations including embedded retail, and online, facilitates cross selling of a growing line of products. 




We believe the pharmacy industry, and especially compounding pharmacy, can easily be described as having multiple “flavors”. We believe the markets for both people and pets are both underserved:

a.

Some sell basic OTC medications and provide “delivery only”, and most users rely on insurance reimbursement for payment;

b.

Some are “value added resellers”, using OTC recognized medications, then repackaging, or using combinations, to personalize the product for the client. While vet based is a cash business, the human side is largely insurance reliant;

c.

Some are like “OEM manufacturers”, like a generic drug maker, starting with basic, non-productized materials, and creating both standard and fully customized “novel” formulations for specific maladies and needs. These are more often cash clients, and this approach is well accepted in the pet area, and becoming more accepted for people as alternatives to OTC, and for cash buyers seeking lower cost;

d.

We believe a mix of these can serve the need to drive costs down, and allow innovative approaches to improve patient results.

The pet business is an area of focus. A recent research document, Research from Federal Trade Commission: Pet Medications, May 2015, (which can be found on our web site at: http://truenaturepharma.com/links/) noted the following:

a.

According to one estimate, in 2014 veterinarians accounted for 58 percent of sales of pet medications, with brick and mortar retailers accounting for 28 percent and Internet/mail order retailers accounting for 13 percent;

b.

Approximately 65 percent of U.S. household’s own pets, the most common being dogs and cats, which equates to 79.7 million homes;

c.

In 2014, Americans spent approximately $58 billion on their pets, including food, supplies, veterinary care, prescription and over the counter medication and other pet services and products. This figure represents tremendous growth since 2001, when comparable expenditures totaled $28.5 billion;

d.

In 2013, retail sales of prescription and non-prescription medications for dogs and cats was estimated at $7.6 billion. U.S. retail sales of companion animal pet medications are expected to grow to $10.2 billion by 2018, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of circa 5 percent;

e.

U.S. manufacturer sales of companion animal pet medications have been estimated at $3.7 billion to $4 billion annually.

Industry Overview


The following information was taken from this report on the Compounding Industry: IBISWorld Industry Report OD5706 Compounding Pharmacies in the U.S., dated January 2015 by Sarah Turk. A copy of this report is available for download from our web site at: http://truenaturepharma.com/links.

Industry Definition


This industry includes stores that make and sell compounded medications that are not commercially available. Compounded medications are prescriptions that are prescribed and written by physicians and prepared by pharmacists for individual patients.




Executive Summary


Despite the Compounding Pharmacies industry experiencing negative media attention from contaminated compounded prescriptions, it has still proved to be a business with a loyal customer base. Compounded medications can assist patients’ compliance with their medication due to offering medication tastes, routes of administration, and medication dosages that were not otherwise commercially available. Moreover, the burgeoning elderly population has stimulated demand for prescriptions, including compounded medications that were customized to address a patient’s needs. From October to September 2012, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspected approximately 150 compounding pharmacies, with 90.0% of facilities inspected having problems. As a result, some industry operators have exited the industry altogether or have contended with costs related to complying with FDA standards. The industry has benefited from pharmaceutical manufacturers having drug shortages, enabling the industry to access raw materials and supply medication orders to patients and hospitals. As group purchasing organizations (GPOs), which secure supplies for healthcare providers, control about 72.0% of purchases made by hospitals, according to the Healthcare Supply Chain Association, drug shortages have occurred. Due to GPOs using their market share as leverage to secure low-cost contracts with pharmaceutical manufacturers, some drug makers did not have the incentive to manufacture and stock essential drugs.

As a result, industry revenue is expected to grow at an annualized rate of 2.4% to $5.6 billion during the five years to 2015, including 7.3% growth in 2015. This growth has been driven by the number of active drug shortages increasing from 328 in 2010 to 361 in 2013, according to the latest data available from the United States Government Accountability Office. Profit is anticipated to rise from 25.7% of industry revenue in 2010 to 26.5% in 2015, due to the prescription shortage and lack of substitutes for industry products enabling the industry to garner higher prices. During the five years to 2020, industry revenue is forecast to grow at an annualized rate of 2.6% to $6.4 billion. As the number of physician visits is expected to rise, more individuals will likely be prescribed medications, which may stimulate demand for compounded pharmaceuticals. Overall, the size of this growth will be contingent on how many patients require medications with alternative dosages and strengths.

Key External Drivers


Number of pets (cats and dogs): In addition to developing drug compounds for humans, compounding pharmacies also create specialized drugs compounded for animals. As the number of pets increases, demand for compounding pharmacies rises, as many pet owners will purchase compounded medications to increase animal compliance with alternative routes of administration.

Regulation


The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is encouraging large-scale operators to register with the FDA and is increasing federal regulations. As healthcare providers are increasingly purchasing compounded medications from FDA-registered and regulated facilities, many operators will choose to comply with regulations to bolster revenue volumes. Regulation is expected to increase in 2015, which represents a potential threat to the industry.





Current Performance


During the past five years, the Compounding Pharmacies industry has exhibited growth, thanks to an increase in the number of dispensed prescriptions. As the burgeoning elderly population has dealt with a number of chronic illnesses that require medication, demand for compounded pharmaceuticals has risen. For example, patients have used compounded prescriptions to access medications in alternative dosages, routes of administration, ingredients (due to patient allergies) and flavorings than drugs that were commercially available. Moreover, the shortage or termination of prescriptions from drug manufacturers’ product portfolio has stimulated demand for compounded prescriptions. In the five years to 2015, industry revenue is anticipated to increase at an annualized rate of 2.4% to $5.6 billion, including 7.3% growth in 2015, due to a rise in the number of prescription shortages. For example, according to data from the United States Government Accountability Office, the number of active drug shortages has increased from 328 in 2010 to 361 in 2013 (latest data available), which has benefited some compounding pharmacies because they were able to supply drugs to hospitals and patients that may have otherwise come from another source. Profit is expected to increase from 25.7% of industry revenue in 2010 to 26.5% in 2015, due to the prescription shortage enabling operators to markup industry product prices.

Growing Opportunity


Nevertheless, the burgeoning elderly population has provided a driver for the industry. The number of adults aged 65 and older is expected to grow at an annualized rate of 3.4% during the five years to 2020. More elderly patients have visited their physician, which has stimulated demand for prescriptions. Because the burgeoning elderly population has required more prescriptions to address their numerous chronic illnesses, demand for compounded pharmaceuticals has grown. For example, as the number of stroke patients rose, so did the prevalence of dysphagia, or a patient’s inability to swallow. Because of this trend, demand for compounded medications with alternative routes of administration increased. Additionally, the industry also provides compounded medications for pets. The number of pet owners is expected to grow at an annualized rate of 2.3% during the five years to 2020. Because of this growth, more pet owners will be required to obtain compounded drugs to increase their pet’s compliance with medications. For example, pet owners may demand compounded drugs to cater to their pets’ individualized needs, such as allergies and complications with the drug’s route of administration.

Competition


The pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive. There are competitors in the United States that are currently selling FDA- approved products that our products would compete with if and when approved by the FDA.

In addition to product safety, development and efficacy, other competitive factors in the pharmaceutical market include product quality and price, reputation, service and access to scientific and technical information. It is possible that developments by our competitors will make our products or technologies uncompetitive or obsolete. In addition, the intensely competitive environment of the pain management products requires an ongoing, extensive search for medical and technological innovations and the ability to market products effectively, including the ability to communicate the effectiveness, safety and value of branded products for their intended uses to healthcare professionals in private practice, group practices and managed care organizations. Because we are smaller than our competitors, we may lack the financial and other resources needed to develop, produce, distribute, market and commercialize any of our drug candidates or compete for market share in the pain management sector.

Governmental Regulation


FDA Regulation and Approval


Our business is subject to federal, state and local laws, regulations, and administrative practices, including, among others: federal, state and local licensure and registration requirements concerning the operation of pharmacies and the practice of pharmacy; the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA); the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2012 (collectively, the Health Reform Law); statutes and regulations of the FDA, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, as well as regulations promulgated by comparable state agencies concerning the sale, advertisement and promotion of the products we sell. Below are descriptions of some of the various federal and state laws and regulations which may govern or impact our current and planned operations.

Our ongoing product development activities are subject to extensive and rigorous regulation at both the federal and state levels. Post development, the manufacture, testing, packaging, labeling, distribution, sales and marketing of our products is also subject to extensive regulation. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1983, as amended, and other federal and state statutes and regulations govern or influence the testing, manufacture, safety, packaging, labeling, storage, record keeping, approval, advertising, promotion, sale and distribution of pharmaceutical products. Noncompliance with applicable requirements can result in fines, recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension of production and/or distribution, refusal of the government to approve New Drug Applications, or NDAs, civil sanctions and criminal prosecution.

FDA approval is typically required before each dosage form or strength of any new drug can be marketed. Applications for FDA approval must contain information relating to efficacy, safety, toxicity, pharmacokinetics, product formulation, raw material suppliers, stability, manufacturing processes, packaging, labeling, and quality control. The FDA also has the authority to revoke previously granted drug approvals. Product development and approval within this regulatory framework requires a number of years and involves the expenditure of substantial resources.

Current FDA standards for approving new pharmaceutical products are more stringent than those that were applied in the past. As a result, labeling revisions, formulation or manufacturing changes and/or product modifications may be necessary. We cannot determine what effect changes in regulations or legal interpretations, when and if promulgated, may have on our business in the future. Changes could, among other things, require expanded or different labeling, the recall or discontinuance of certain products, additional record keeping and expanded documentation of the properties of certain products and scientific substantiation. Such regulatory changes, or new legislation, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The evolving and complex nature of regulatory requirements, the broad authority and discretion of the FDA and the generally high level of regulatory oversight results in a continuing possibility that from time to time, we will be adversely affected by regulatory actions despite ongoing efforts and commitment to achieve and maintain full compliance with all regulatory requirements.

Quality Assurance Requirements


The FDA enforces regulations to ensure that the methods used in, and facilities and controls used for, the manufacture, processing, packing and holding of drugs conform to current good manufacturing practices, or cGMP. The cGMP regulations the FDA enforces are comprehensive and cover all aspects of operations, from receipt of raw materials to finished product distribution, insofar as they bear upon whether drugs meet all the identity, strength, quality, purity and safety characteristics required of them. To assure compliance requires a continuous commitment of time, money and effort in all operational areas. 




The FDA conducts pre-approval inspections of facilities engaged in the development, manufacture, processing, packing, testing and holding of the drugs subject to NDAs. If the FDA concludes that the facilities to be used do not meet cGMP, good laboratory practices or good clinical practices requirements, it will not approve the NDA. Corrective actions to remedy the deficiencies must be performed and verified in a subsequent inspection. In addition, manufacturers of both pharmaceutical products and active pharmaceutical ingredients used to formulate the drug also ordinarily undergo a pre-approval inspection, although the inspection can be waived when the manufacturer has had a passing cGMP inspection in the immediate past. Failure of any facility to pass a pre-approval inspection will result in delayed approval and would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The FDA also conducts periodic inspections of facilities to assess their cGMP status. If the FDA were to find serious cGMP non-compliance during such an inspection, it could take regulatory actions that could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. The FDA could initiate product seizures, request product recalls and seek to enjoin a product’s manufacture and distribution. In certain circumstances, violations could lead to civil penalties and criminal prosecutions. In addition, if the FDA concludes that a company is not in compliance with cGMP requirements, sanctions may be imposed that include preventing us from receiving the necessary licenses to export its products and classifying the company as an “unacceptable supplier,” thereby disqualifying us from selling products to federal agencies. Imported active pharmaceutical ingredients and other components needed to manufacture our products could be rejected by United States Customs.


Other FDA Matters


If there are any modifications to an approved drug, including changes in indication, manufacturing process or labeling or a change in a manufacturing facility, an applicant must notify the FDA, and in many cases, approval for such changes must be submitted to the FDA or other regulatory authority. Additionally, the FDA regulates post-approval promotional labeling and advertising activities to assure that such activities are being conducted in conformity with statutory and regulatory requirements. Failure to adhere to such requirements can result in regulatory actions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Pharmacy Regulation


Our planned target pharmacy acquisitions will be regulated by both individual states and the federal government. Every state has laws and regulations addressing pharmacy operations, including regulations relating specifically to compounding pharmacy operations. These regulations generally include licensing requirements for pharmacists and pharmacies, as well as regulations related to compounding processes, safety protocols, purity, sterility, storage, controlled substances, recordkeeping and regular inspections, among other things. State rules and regulations are updated periodically, generally under the jurisdiction of individual state boards of pharmacy. Failure to comply with the state pharmacy regulations of a particular state could result in a pharmacy being prohibited from operating in that state, financial penalties and/or becoming subject to additional oversight from that state’s board of pharmacy. In addition, many states are considering imposing, or have already begun to impose, more stringent requirements on compounding pharmacies. If our pharmacy operations become subject to additional licensure requirements, are unable to maintain their required licenses or if states place burdensome restrictions or limitations on pharmacies, our ability to operate in some states could be limited, which may have an adverse impact on our business.

Many of the states into which we plan to deliver pharmaceuticals have laws and regulations that require out-of-state pharmacies to register with, or be licensed by, the boards of pharmacy or similar regulatory bodies in those states. These states generally permit the dispensing pharmacy to follow the laws of the state within which the dispensing pharmacy is located. However, various state pharmacy boards have enacted laws and/or adopted rules or regulations directed at restricting or prohibiting the operation of out-of-state pharmacies by, among other things, requiring compliance with all laws of the states into which the out-of-state pharmacy dispenses medications, whether or not those laws conflict with the laws of the state in which the pharmacy is located, or requiring the pharmacist-in-charge to be licensed in that state.




Furthermore, under federal law, Section 503A of the Federal Food Drug Cosmetic Act (FDCA) seeks to limit the amount of compounded products that a pharmacy can dispense interstate. The interpretation and enforcement of that provision is dependent on the FDA entering into a standard Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with each state setting forth limits on interstate compounding. The FDA has stated in guidance issued in February 2015 that it will not enforce interstate restrictions until after it publishes a final standard MOU and has made it available to the states for signature for some designated period of time. The FDA has proposed a 180-day period for states to agree to the standard MOU after the final version is presented to states. Until a final MOU is issued and presented to the states to consider whether to sign, the extent of such interstate dispensing restrictions imposed by Section 503A is unknown. If the final standard MOU is not signed by a particular state, then interstate shipments of compounded preparations from a pharmacy located in that state would be limited to quantities not greater than 5% total prescription orders dispensed or distributed by such pharmacy. The current draft standard MOU presented by the FDA in February 2015 would limit interstate shipments of compounded drug units to 30% of all compounded and non-compounded units dispensed or distributed by the pharmacy per month. If the final standard MOU contains a 30% limit on interstate distribution, or if the FDA applies the 5% limit in Section 503A because a state refuses to sign the MOU, then those limitations could have an adverse effect our operations.

Certain provisions of the FDCA govern the preparation, handling, storage, marketing and distribution of pharmaceutical products. The Drug Quality and Security Act of 2013 (DQSA) clarifies and strengthens the federal regulatory framework governing compounding pharmacies. Title 1 of the DQSA, the Compounding Quality Act, modifies provisions of the Section 503A of the FDCA that were found to be unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2002. In general, Section 503A provides that pharmacies are exempt from the provisions of the FDCA requiring compliance with cGMP, labeling with adequate directions for use and FDA approval prior to marketing if the pharmacy complies with certain other requirements. Among other things, to comply with Section 503A, a compounded drug must be compounded by a licensed pharmacist for an identified individual patient based on a valid prescription. Pharmacies may only compound in limited quantities before receipt of a prescription for an individual patient, and Section 503A limits the distribution of compounded drug products outside of the state in which the pharmacy is located, as described in the previous paragraph. 503A also provides certain requirements for compounding from bulk substances and prohibits compounding of products that have been withdrawn from the market for reasons of safety or efficacy and products that are demonstrably difficult to compound.


Confidentiality, Privacy and HIPAA


Our pharmacy operations will involve the receipt, use and disclosure of confidential medical, pharmacy and other health-related information. The federal privacy regulations under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) are designed to protect the medical information of a healthcare patient or health plan enrollee that could be used to identify the individual. Among other things, HIPAA limits certain uses and disclosures of protected health information and requires compliance with federal security regulations regarding the storage, utilization of, access to and transmission of electronic protected health information. In 2009, the Health Information for Economic and Clinical Health Act modified certain provisions of HIPAA to strengthen its privacy and security provisions. The requirements imposed by HIPAA are extensive. In addition, most states have enacted privacy and security laws that protect identifiable patient information that is not health-related. Further, several states have enacted more protective and comprehensive pharmacy-related privacy legislation that not only applies to patient records but also prohibits the transfer or use for commercial purposes of pharmacy data that identifies prescribers. These regulations impose substantial requirements on covered entities and their business associates regarding the storage, utilization of, access to and transmission of personal health and non-health information. Many of these laws apply to our planned business.




Medicare and Medicaid Reimbursement


Medicare is a federally funded program that provides health insurance coverage for qualified persons’ age 65 or older and for some disabled persons with certain specific conditions. State-funded Medicaid programs provide medical benefits to groups of low-income and disabled individuals, some of whom may have inadequate or no medical insurance. Currently, most of our commercially available formulations are sold in cash transactions and our customers may choose to seek available reimbursement opportunities to the extent that they exist. We are currently in communications with third-party public and private payors regarding potential reimbursement options for certain of our proprietary formulations and we have begun hiring public and private payor billers in anticipation of the potential reimbursement opportunities for certain formulations. However, third-party payors, including Medicare, are increasingly attempting to contain health care costs by limiting coverage and the level of reimbursement for new drugs and by refusing, in some cases, to provide coverage for uses of approved products for disease indications for which the FDA has not granted labeling approval. Further, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, which amended PPACA (collectively, the Health Reform Law), will result in sweeping changes to the existing U.S. system for the delivery and financing of health care and may have a considerable impact on our business. Thus, we may be unable to satisfy the requirements of Medicare, Medicaid or other third-party payors and we may never be able to obtain reimbursement from such payors for any of our formulations. To the extent we obtain third-party reimbursement for our compounded formulations, we may become subject to Medicare, Medicaid and other publicly financed health benefit plan regulations prohibiting kickbacks, beneficiary inducement and the submission of false claims.

Management


We believe that True Nature’s management will remain small in the near term, and will consist of a four-person management team with experience in 1) public company accounting and finance, 2) multi-unit supply chain management including retail and wholesale operations, 3) brand marketing aimed at the consumer through online and traditional retail channels, and 4) public equities financing.  We believe our current team address most of those areas, and we anticipate further additions as our size, and funding, will allow.   Biographical and other information on our executive officers and directors is set forth in “Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers, and Corporate Governance” of this Report.Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Impact of JOBS ActEmployees


On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startup Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) was enacted into law. Under the JOBS Act, Congress established a new statutorily defined category of registrant referred to as an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”) which, among other things, affords such registrants with relief from certain disclosure requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) for so long as they continue to qualify as an EGC.

A registrant qualifies as an EGC if it has total annual gross revenues of less than $1 billion as of the end of its most recent completed fiscal year and has not filed for its initial public offering of common equity securities under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act) prior to December 9, 2011. Under this definition, we qualify as an EGC.




For so long as we qualify as an EGC: 

We will not be required to comply with the auditor attestation over internal control requirements under §404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX).

We may elect to comply with the following scaled-back executive compensation disclosure requirements (Reduced Executive Compensation Disclosures): (a) EGCs are not required to comply with the annual “say on pay” and “say on golden parachute” advisory voting requirements and rules promulgated under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”), (b) EGCs are not required to include the disclosures that will be required under future rules to be promulgated under the Dodd-Frank Act as to the relationship between executive compensation and company performance, and the ratio of CEO pay to median employee pay, and (c) EGCs may elect to provide the same level of executive compensation disclosures as required by Smaller Reporting Companies (as defined under Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act and referred to herein as “SRCs”), which includes, among other things, the omission of Compensation Disclosure and Analysis discussion, inclusion of fewer tables, and disclosure of compensation for only the CEO and the two next highest paid officers.

We may elect on a one-time basis not to comply with new or revised accounting principles that apply to public companies, as long as we comply once the rules become applicable for private companies. We are required to make an irrevocable election which will continue for so long as we retain our status as an EGC status.

We will not be required to comply with any Public Company Accounting Oversight Board rules regarding mandatory audit firm rotation and auditor discussion and analysis should such rules be adopted.

 

As an EGC, we are not required to take advantage of all the benefits made available to us under the JOBS Act described above, but may instead opt-in to certain of those scaled-back disclosures and phased-in requirements as we so desire. However, as discussed above, we are not permitted to selectively opt-in with respect to compliance with new or revised accounting rules or pronouncements. Accordingly,March 28, 2019, we have irrevocably electedone full-time and two  part-time employees. None of our employees are represented by a union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages and we consider our relationship with our employees to opt out of compliance with any new or revised accounting principles until any such rules become applicable to private companies.be good.

 

Under the JOBS Act, we will retain our status as an EGC until the earliest of: (1) the last day

Risks Related to Our Business in General

 

DevelopmentDevelopmental Stage Business


The Company has only a limited history upon which an evaluation of its prospects and future performance can be made. The Company’s proposed operations are subject to all business risks associated with new enterprises. The likelihood of the Company’s success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the expansion of a business, operation in a competitive industry, and the continued development of advertising, promotions and a corresponding customer base. There is a possibility that the Company could sustain losses in the future. There can be no assurances that the Company will ever operate profitably.

 

Inadequacy of Funds


WeAs part of our business model, we anticipate that we will need capital to acquire businesses, and to fund their operations and expansion. Management believes that such proceeds will be available to capitalize and sustain our business sufficiently to allow for the initial implementation of the Company’s Business Plans, but we have no definitive agreements for such at this time. If only a fraction of the funding needed, or if certain assumptions contained in Management’s business plans prove to be incorrect, the Company may have inadequate funds to fully develop its business and may need debt financing or other capital investment to fully implement the Company’s business plans.

 

Risks of Borrowing


If the Company incurs indebtedness, a portion of its cash flow will have to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness. Typical loan agreements also might contain restrictive covenants, which may impair the Company’s operating flexibility. Such loan agreements would also provide for default under certain circumstances, such as failure to meet certain financial covenants. A default under a loan agreement could result in the loan becoming immediately due and payable and, if unpaid, a judgment in favor of such lender which would be senior to the rights of unit holders of the Company. A judgment creditor would have the right to foreclose on any of the Company’s assets resulting in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results or financial condition.

We Need Additional Capital to Fund Our Growing Operations and Cannot Assure You That We Will Be Able to Obtain Sufficient Capital on Reasonable Terms or at All, and We May Be Faced to Limit the Scope of Our Operations

We need additional capital to fund our growing operations and if adequate additional financing is not available on reasonable terms or available at all, we may not be able to undertake expansion or continue our marketing efforts and we would have to modify our business plans accordingly. The extent of our capital needs will depend on numerous factors, including (i) our profitability; (ii) the release of competitive products and/or services by our competition; (iii) the level of our investment in research and development; (iv) the amount of our capital expenditures, including acquisitions; and (v) our growth. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain capital in the future to meet our needs.

Even if we do find a source of additional capital, we may not be able to negotiate terms and conditions for receiving the additional capital that are acceptable to us. Any future capital investments could dilute or otherwise materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing stockholders. In addition, new equity or convertible debt securities issued by us to obtain financing could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our Common Stock. We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us.

Dependence on Management


In the early stages of development, the Company’s business will be significantly dependent on the Company’s management team. The Company’s success will be particularly dependent upon our senior management. The loss of any one of these individuals could have a materially adverse effect on the Company.


We Have a History of Significant Losses, and If We Do Not Achieve and Sustain Profitability, Our Financial Condition Could Suffer

Risks Associated with Expansion


The Company plans on expanding its business throughWe have experienced significant net losses, and we expect to continue to incur losses for the introductionforeseeable future. We incurred net losses of a sophisticated marketing campaign,approximately $1,415,153 and approximately $754,045 for the acquisitionyears ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and as of an extensive library of compounding pharmaceutical formulations. Any expansion of operations the Company may undertake will entail risks. Such actions may involve specific operational activities, which may negatively impact the profitability of the Company. Consequently, unit holders must assume the risk that (i) such expansion may ultimately involve expenditures of funds beyond the resources available to the Company at that time, and (ii) management of such expanded operations may divert Management’s attention and resources away from its existing operations, all of which factors may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s present and prospective business activities.December 31, 2018, our accumulated deficit was approximately $7,691,312.

  

Customer Base and Market Acceptance


WeIf our revenue grows more slowly than we anticipate, or if our operating expenses are higher than we expect, to market direct to consumers, and through doctors who can write prescriptions for the benefit of their clients. Ideally, we would target fifty percent (50%) or our product sales to be for the veterinary market, and fifty percent (50%) based on specialized compound formulations. A key element of our plan is the establishment of a marketing effort promoting our product and services offerings.

While the Company believes it can further develop the existing customer base, and develop a new customer base through the marketing and promotion of the website, the inability of the Company to further develop such a customer base could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Although the Company believes that its product matrix and its interactive e-commerce website offer advantages over competitive companies and products, no assurance can be given that Company Name’s products and e-commerce website will attain a degree of market acceptance on a sustained basis or that it will generate revenues sufficient for sustained profitable operations.


Competition


The pharmaceutical and pharmacy industries are highly competitive. We expect to compete against branded drug companies, generic drug companies, outsourcing facilities and other compounding pharmacies. The drug products available through branded and generic drug companies with which our formulations compete have been approved for marketing and sale by the FDA, are required to be manufactured in facilities compliant with GMP standards, and are permitted to be manufactured, produced and distributed in large bulk quantities. Although we intend to prepare our compounded formulations in accordance with the standards provided by United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) 795 and USP 797 and applicable state and federal law, our proprietary compounded formulations are not required to be, and have not been, approved for marketing and sale by the FDA at this time and, as a result, some physicians may be unwilling to prescribe, and some patients may be unwilling to use, our formulations. Additionally, formulations compounded in accordance with FDCA Section 503A must be prepared and dispensed in connection with a physician prescription for an individually identified patient and cannot be prepared in significant quantities without or in advance of such a prescription or manufactured and distributed by wholesalers in bulk quantities. These facets of our operations may subject our business to limitations our competitors with FDA-approved drugs may not face. In addition to product safety and efficacy considerations, other competitive factors in the pharmacy and pharmaceutical markets include product quality and price, reputation, service and access to scientific and technical information. The competitive environment requires an ongoing, extensive search for medical and technological innovations and the ability to develop those innovations into products and market these products effectively. Developments by our competitors could make our formulations or technologies uncompetitive or obsolete. In addition, because we are significantly smaller than our primary competitors, we may lack the financial and other resources and experience needed to identify and acquire rights to, develop, produce, distribute, market, and commercialize any of the formulations we seek to make available or compete for market share in these sectors.




Trend in Consumer Preferences and Spending


The Company’s operating results may fluctuate significantly from period to period as a result of a variety of factors, including purchasing patterns of customers, competitive pricing, debt service and principal reduction payments, and general economic conditions. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in marketing any of its products, or that the revenues from the sale of such products will be significant. Consequently, the Company’s revenues may vary by quarter, and the Company’s operating results may experience fluctuations.


Unanticipated Obstacles to Execution of the Business Plan


The Company’s business plans may change significantly. Many of the Company’s potential business endeavors are capital intensive and may be subject to statutory or regulatory requirements. Management believes that the Company’s chosen activities and strategies are achievable in light of current economic and legal conditions with the skills, background, and knowledge of the Company’s principals and advisors. Management reserves the right to make significant modifications to the Company’s stated strategies depending on future events.


No Assurances of Protection for Proprietary Rights; Reliance on Trade Secrets


In certain cases, the Company may rely on trade secrets to protect intellectual property, proprietary technology and processes, which the Company has acquired, developed or may develop in the future. There can be no assurances that secrecy obligations will be honored or that others will not independently develop similar or superior products or technology. The protection of intellectual property and/or proprietary technology through claims of trade secret status has been the subject of increasing claims and litigation by various companies both in order to protect proprietary rights as well as for competitive reasons even where proprietary claims are unsubstantiated. The prosecution of proprietary claims or the defense of such claims is costly and uncertain given the uncertainty and rapid development of the principles of law pertaining to this area. The Company, in common with other firms, may also be subject to claims by other parties with regard to the use of intellectual property, technology information and data, which may be deemed proprietary to others.


Dilution


Purchasers of our stock will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value per share if we engage in a substantial offering of stock to finance our business plans.

General Economic Conditions


The financial success of the Company may be sensitive to adverse changes in general economic conditions in the United States, such as recession, inflation, unemployment, and interest rates. Such changing conditions could reduce demand in the marketplace for the Company’s products. Management believes that the impending growth of the market, mainstream market acceptance and the targeted product line will insulate the Company from excessive reduced demand. Nevertheless, we have no control over these changes.

Company and Industry Related Risk Factors


We aim to sell certain of our proprietary formulations primarily through a network of compounding pharmacies, but we may not be successful inable to achieve profitability and our efforts to establish such a network or integrate these businesses into our operations.




A key aspect of our business strategy is to establish a compounding pharmacy network, whether through acquisitions, establishing new pharmacies or entering into licensing arrangements with third-party pharmacies, through whichfinancial condition could suffer. Even if we can market and sell our proprietary formulations and other non-proprietary products in all 50 states. We have no experience acquiring, building, or operating compounding pharmacies or other prescription dispensing facilities or commercializing our formulations through ownership of or licensing arrangements with these pharmacies. We expect to expand our operations and personnel in the pharmacy operations area in order to further develop this compounding pharmacy network, but we may experience difficulties implementing this strategy, including difficulties that arise as a result of our lack of experience, and we may be unsuccessful. For instance, we may not be successful in our efforts to integrate, manage or otherwise realize the benefits we expect from our acquisition of any additional pharmacy businesses or outsourcing facilities we seek to acquire or buildachieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to satisfy applicable federal and state licensing and other requirementssustain profitability in subsequent periods. Whether we can achieve cash flow levels sufficient to support our operations cannot be accurately predicted. Unless such cash flow levels are achieved, we may need to borrow additional funds or sell debt or equity securities, or some combination thereof, to provide funding for any such pharmacy businesses in a timely mannerour operations. Such additional funding may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, changesall.

We May Not Have The Liquidity to stateSupport Our Future Operations and federal pharmacy regulations may restrict compoundingCapital Requirements.

Whether we can achieve cash flow levels sufficient to support our operations or make them more costly,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 unable to achieve a sufficient physicianavailable on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available when needed, our financial condition and patient customer base to sustain our pharmacy operations,operating results would be materially and adversely affected and we may not be able to enter into licensing or other arrangements with third-party pharmacies or outsourcing facilities when desired, on acceptable terms,operate our business without significant changes in our operations, or at all. Moreover, all such efforts to expand out pharmacy operations and establish a pharmacy network will involve significant costs and other resources, which we may not be able to afford, disrupt our other operations and distract management and our other employees from other aspects of our operations. Our business could materially suffer if we are unable to further develop this pharmacy network and, even if we are successful, we may be unable to generate sufficient revenue to recover our costs.

 

We will be dependent on market acceptance of compounding pharmacies and compounded formulations, and physicians may be unwilling to prescribe, and patients may be unwilling to use, our proprietary customizable compounded formulations.Face Risks Arising From Acquisitions


We currently expect to distribute our proprietary formulations through compounding pharmacies. Formulations prepared and dispensed by compounding pharmacies contain FDA-approved ingredients, but are not themselves approved by the FDA. As a result, our formulations have not undergone the FDA approval process and only limited data, if any, may be available with respect to the safety and efficacy of our formulations for any particular indication. In addition, certain compounding pharmacies have been the subject of widespread negative media coverage in recent years, and the actions of these pharmacies have resulted in increased scrutiny of compounding pharmacy activities from the FDA and state governmental agencies. As a result, some physicians may be hesitant to prescribe, and some patients may be hesitant to purchase and use, these non-FDA approved compounded formulations, particularly when an FDA-approved alternative is available. Other reasons physicians may be unwilling to prescribe or patients may be unwilling to use our proprietary customizable compounded formulations could include the following, among others: we are limited in our ability to discuss the efficacy or safety of our formulations with potential purchasers of our formulations to the extent applicable data is available; our pharmacy operations are primarily operating on a cash-pay basis and reimbursement may or may not be available from third-party payors, including the government Medicare and Medicaid programs; and our formulations are not presently being prepared in a manufacturing facility governed by GMP requirements. Any failure by physicians, patients and/or third-party payors to accept and embrace compounded formulations could substantially limit our market and cause our operations to suffer.

We may not receive sufficient revenue frompursue strategic acquisitions in the compounding pharmacies we may acquire or develop, or with which we may partner, to fundfuture. Risks in acquisition transactions include difficulties in the integration of acquired businesses into our operations and recovercontrol 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 development costs.


Ourgrowth expectations for the acquired businesses. Fully integrating an acquired company or business plan involves the preparation and saleinto our operations may take a significant amount of our proprietary formulations through a network of compounding pharmacies and outsourcing facilities. After completion of our initial acquisition, we expect to establish an internal sales force to pursue marketing and sales of our proprietary and other formulations in the states in which our acquisitions are authorized to operate under federal and state pharmacy laws.time. We also expect to pursue additional strategic transactions to broaden our geographic reach, including plans to open our own outsourcing facilities in other geographical areas. Our Company has no experience operating pharmacies and commercializing compounded formulations and we may be unable to successfully manage this business or generate sufficient revenue to recover our development costs and operational expenses.




We may have only limited success in marketing and selling our proprietary formulations through any network of compounding pharmacies we may develop. Because any of our formulations will be commercialized through a compounding pharmacy, our distribution model will not have obtained FDA approval, only limited data will be available, if any, with respect to the safety and efficacy of our formulations for any particular indication, andcannot assure you that we will be subject to regulatory limitations with respect to the information we can provide regarding the safety and efficacy of our formulations even if such data is available. As a result, physicians may not be interested in prescribing our formulations to their patients, and we may not generate significant revenue from sales of our proprietary formulations and other products. In addition, we will be dependent on our initial acquisitions, and any other pharmacies or prescription dispensing facilities we acquire or develop and any pharmacy partners with which we may contract to compound and sell our formulations in sufficient volumes to accommodate the number of prescriptions they receive. We may be unable to acquire, build or enter into agreements with pharmacies or outsourcing facilities of sufficient size, reputation and quality to implement our business plan, and our pharmacy partners may be unable to compound our formulations successfully. If physicians and healthcare organizations were to request our formulations in quantities our pharmacies or pharmacy partners are unable to fill, our business would suffer.

Our business is significantly impacted by state and federal rules and regulations.


We expect that all of our proprietary formulations will be comprised of active pharmaceutical ingredients that are components of drugs that have received marketing approval from the FDA, although our proprietary compounded formulations have not themselves received FDA approval. FDA approval of a compounded formulation is not required in order to market and sell the compounded formulations, although in select instances we may choose to pursue FDA approval to market and sell certain potential product candidates. The marketing and sale of compounded formulations is subject to and must comply with extensive state and federal statutes and regulations governing compounding pharmacies. These statutes and regulations include, among other things, restrictions on compounding in advance of receiving a patient-specific prescription, prohibitions on compounding drugs that are essentially copies of FDA-approved drugs, prohibitions on compounding drug products for office use without a prescription for an individually identified patient, limitations on the volume of compounded formulations that may be sold across state lines, and prohibitions on wholesaling or reselling. These and other restrictions on the activities of compounding pharmacies may significantly limit the market available for compounded formulations, as compared to the market available for FDA-approved drugs.


Our pharmacy business is impacted by federal and state laws and regulations governing, among other things: the purchase, distribution, management, compounding, dispensing, reimbursement, marketing and labeling of prescription drugs and related services; FDA and/or state regulation affecting the pharmacy and pharmaceutical industries, including state pharmacy licensure, registration or permit standards; rules and regulations issued pursuant to HIPAA and other state and federal laws related to the use, disclosure and transmission of health information; state and federal controlled substance laws; and statutes and regulations related to FDA approval for the sale and marketing of new drugs and medical devices. Our failure to comply with any of these laws and regulations could severely limit or curtail our pharmacy operations, which would materially harm our business and prospects. Further, our business could be affected by changes in these or any newly enacted laws and regulations, as well as federal and state agency interpretations of such statutes and regulations. Such statutory or regulatory changes could require that we make changes to our business model and operations and/or could require that we incur significantly increased costs in order to comply with such regulations.

If any pharmacy or outsourcing facility we acquire or build or with which we partner fails to comply with the Controlled Substances Act, FDCA, or state statutes and regulations, the pharmacy could be required to cease operations or become subject to restrictions that could adversely affect our business.




State pharmacy laws require pharmacy locations in those states to be licensed as an in-state pharmacy to dispense pharmaceuticals. In addition, state controlled substance laws require registration and compliance with state pharmacy licensure, registration or permit standards promulgated by the state’s pharmacy licensing authority. Pharmacy and controlled substance laws often address the qualification of an applicant’s personnel, the adequacy of its prescription fulfillment and inventory control practices and the adequacy of its facilities, and subject pharmacies to oversight by state boards of pharmacy and other regulators that could impose burdensome requirements or restrictions on operations if a pharmacy is found not to comply with these laws. Any such noncompliance could also result in complaints or adverse actions by respective state boards of pharmacy, FDA inspection of the facility to determine compliance with the FDCA, loss of FDCA exemptions provided under Section 503A, warning letters, injunctions, prosecution, fines, loss of required government licenses, certifications and approvals, any of which could involve significant costs and could cause us to be unable to realize the expected benefits of these pharmacies’ operations. Although we ultimately expect to distribute our proprietary formulations through a network of compounding pharmacies, we may not be successful in establishing such a network and the loss of an ability to compound sterile formulations would have an immediate adverse impact on our ability to successfully and timely implement our business plan.

Many of the states into which we may deliver pharmaceuticals have laws and regulations that require out-of-state pharmacies to register with, or be licensed by, the boards of pharmacy or similar regulatory bodies in those states. These states generally permit the dispensing pharmacy to follow the laws of the state within which the dispensing pharmacy is located. However, various state pharmacy boards have enacted laws and/or adopted rules or regulations directed at restricting the operation of out-of-state pharmacies by, among other things, requiring compliance with all laws of the states into which the out-of-state pharmacy dispenses medications, whether or not those laws conflict with the laws of the state in which the pharmacy is located, or requiring the pharmacist-in-charge to be licensed in that state. Further, under federal law Section 503A of the FDCA seeks to limit the amount of compounded products that a pharmacy can dispense interstate. The interpretation and enforcement of that provision is dependent on the FDA entering into a MOU with each state setting forth limits on interstate compounding. In February 2015, the FDA presented a draft MOU that, if adopted, and signed by states would limit the amount of interstate units dispensed from a compounding pharmacy to 30% of all compounded and non-compounded units dispensed or distributed by the pharmacy per month. This MOU, if adopted and signed by states, and any other state laws or requirements that may be enacted that prohibit or restrict the interstate operations of pharmacies could involve significant additional costs to us in order to sell compounded formulations in certain states and could have an adverse effect on our operations.

If a compounded drug formulation provided through our compounding services leads to patient injury or death or results in a product recall, we may be exposed to significant liabilities or reputational harm.


The success of our business, including our proprietary formulations and pharmacy operations, will be highly dependent upon medical and patient perceptions of us and the safety and quality of our products. We could be adversely affected if weovercoming these risks or any other compounding pharmacies or our formulations and technologies are subject to negative publicity. We could also be adversely affected if any of our formulations or technologies, any similar products sold by other companies, or any products sold by other compounding pharmacies prove to be, or are asserted to be, harmful to patients. For instance, to the extent any of the components of approved drugs or other ingredients used by any of ourproblems encountered with acquisitions to produce our compounded formulations have quality or other problems that adversely affect the finished compounded preparations, our business could be adversely affected. Also, because of our dependence upon medical and patient perceptions, any adverse publicity associated with illness or other adverse effects resulting from the use or misuse of our products, any similar products sold by other companies or any products sold by compounding pharmacies could have a material adverse impact on our business.




To assure compliance with USP guidelines, we intend to implemented a policy whereby 100% of all sterile compound batches produced by our acquisitions are tested both in-house and externally by an independent, FDA registered laboratory that we understand based on the laboratory’s representations operates in compliance with current good laboratory practices prior to their delivery to patients and physicians. However, we could still become subject to product recalls and termination or suspension of our state pharmacy licenses if we fail to fully implement this policy, if the laboratory testing does not identify all contaminated products, or if our products otherwise cause or appear to have caused injury or harm to patients. In addition, such laboratory testing may produce false positives, which could harm our business and impact our pharmacy operations and licensure even if the impacted formulations are ultimately found to be sterile and no patients were harmed by them. If adverse events or deaths or a product recall, either voluntarily or as required by the FDA or a state board of pharmacy, were associated with one of our proprietary formulations or any compounds prepared by Pharmacy Creations, Park, or any other acquired or developed pharmacy or pharmacy partner, our reputation may suffer, physicians may be unwilling to prescribe our proprietary formulations or order any prescriptions from such pharmacies, we may become subject to product and professional liability lawsuits, or our state pharmacy licenses could be terminated or restricted. If any of these events were to occur, we may be subject to significant litigation or other costs and loss of revenue, and we may be unable to continue our pharmacy operations and further develop and commercialize our proprietary formulations.

Although we intend to acquire secured product and professional liability insurance for our pharmacy operations and the marketing and sale of our formulations, our current or future insurance coverage may prove insufficient to cover any liability claims brought against us. Because of the increasing costs of insurance coverage, we may not be able to maintain insurance coverage at a reasonable cost or obtain insurance coverage that will be adequate to satisfy any liability that may arise.

Our ability to generate revenues will be diminished if we fail to obtain acceptable prices or an adequate level of reimbursement from third-party payors.


We expect that our initial acquisitions will operate on mostly a cash-pay basis and will not submit large amounts of claims for reimbursement through Medicare, Medicaid or other third-party payors, although our customers may choose to seek available reimbursement opportunities to the extent that they exist. We are currently in communications with third-party public and private payors regarding potential reimbursement options for certain of our proprietary formulations, but we may be unsuccessful in these efforts. Many third-party payors have imposed significant restrictions on reimbursement for compounded formulations in recent years. Additionally, even if we were to pursue and obtain FDA-approval for a particular product candidate, significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved health care products. Moreover, third-party payors, including Medicare, are increasingly attempting to contain health care costs by limiting coverage and the level of reimbursement for new drugs and by refusing, in some cases, to provide coverage for uses of approved products for disease indications for which the FDA has not granted labeling approval. As a result, reimbursement from insurance companies and other third-party payors may never be available for any of our products or, if available, it may not be sufficient to allow us to sell the products on a competitive basis. If government and other third-party payors do not provide adequate coverage and reimbursement levels for our formulations, the market acceptance for our formulations may be limited.

We may not be able to correctly estimate our future operating expenses, which could lead to cash shortfalls.


Our estimates of our future operating and capital expenditures are based upon our current business plan, the anticipated expenses associated with any of our acquired operations and our current expectations regarding the commercialization of our proprietary formulations. Our projections may vary significantly as a result of changes to our business model and strategy. We have no experience operating a pharmacy and commercializing compounded formulations, and we may not accurately estimate expenses and potential revenue associated with these activities. Additionally, our operating expenses may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, including those discussed in this Item 1A, some of which are outside of our direct control. If we are unable to correctly estimate the amount of cash necessary to fund our business, we could spend our available financial resources much faster than we currently expect. If we do not have sufficient funds to continue to operate and develop our business, we could be required to seek additional financing earlier than we expect, which may not be available when needed or at all, or be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our proposed operations.




We expect to rely on third party relationships to assist in our identification, research, assessment and acquisition of new formulations. If we do not successfully identify and acquire rights to potential formulations and successfully integrate them into our operations, our growth opportunities may be limited.

We expect our initial acquisitions to provide us with limited research and development support and access to additional novel compounded formulations. However, we expect to continue to rely, primarily upon third parties to provide us with additional opportunities. We may seek to enter into similar arrangements with other third parties and for other formulations in the future, but only if we are able to identify attractive formulations and negotiate agreements with their owners on terms acceptable to us, which we may not be able to do. If we are unable to utilize the formulations and the relationships with pharmacists, physicians and other inventors to provide us with additional development opportunities, our growth opportunities may be limited. Moreover, we have limited resources to acquire additional potential product development assets and integrate them into our business and acquisition opportunities may involve competition among several potential purchasers, which could include large multi-national pharmaceutical companies and other competitors that have access to greater financial resources than we do.

We expect that the pharmacist, physician and research consultants and advisors with whom our acquisitions have history will also provide us with significant assistance in our evaluation of product development opportunities.strategic transactions. These third parties generally engage in other business activities and may not devote sufficient time and attention to our research and development activities. If these third parties were to terminate their relationships with us, we may be unable to find other, equally qualified consultants and advisors on commercially reasonable terms or at all, and we may have significant difficulty evaluating potential opportunities and developing and commercializing existing or any new product candidates. As a result, we face financial and operational risks and uncertainties in connection with any future product or technology acquisitions, and those we do complete may not be beneficial to us in the long term.

We may be unable to successfully develop and commercialize our proprietary formulations or any other assets we may acquire.


Our future results of operations will depend to a significant extent upon our ability to successfully develop and commercialize in a timely manner any of the assets we have acquired or to which we will acquire rights in the future. We expect to pursue development and commercialization opportunities with respect to certain of these formulations and we are in the process of assessing certain of our other assets in order to determine whether to pursue their development or commercialization. In addition, we expect to consider the acquisition of additional intellectual property rights or other assets in the future. There are numerous difficulties and risks inherent in acquiring, developing and commercializing new formulations and product candidates, including the risks identified in this offering.

Once we determine to pursue a potential product candidate, we develop a commercialization strategy for the product candidate. These commercialization strategies could include, among others, marketing and selling the formulation in compounded form through compounding pharmacies, or pursuing FDA approval of the product candidate. We may incorrectly assess the risks and benefits of our commercialization options with respect to one or more formulations or technologies, and we may not pursue a successful commercialization strategy. If we are unable to successfully commercialize one or more of our proprietary formulations, our operating results would be adversely affected. Even if we are able to successfully sell one or more proprietary formulations, we may never recoup our investment. Our failure to identify and expend our resources on formulations and technologies with commercial potential and execute an effective commercialization strategy for each of our formulations would negatively impact the long-term profitability of our business.




We may participate in strategic transactions that could impact our liquidity, increase our expenses and distract our management.


From time to time we may consider strategic transactions, such as out-licensing or in-licensing of compounds or technologies, acquisitions of companies, and asset purchases. Additional potential transactions we may consider include a variety of different business arrangements, including strategic partnerships, joint ventures, spin-offs, restructurings, divestitures, business combinations and investments. In addition, another entity may pursue us or certain of our assets or aspects of our operations as an acquisition target. Any such transactions may require us to incur charges specific to the transaction and not incident to our operations, may increase our near and long-term expenditures, may pose significant integration challenges, and may require us to hire or otherwise engage personnel with additional expertise, any of which could harm our operations and financial results. Such transactions may also entail numerous other operational and financial risks, including, among others, exposure to unknown liabilities, disruption of our business and diversion of our management’s time and attention in order to develop acquired products, product candidates, technologies or businesses.


As part of our efforts to complete any significant transaction, we would need to expend significant resources to conduct business, legal and financial due diligence, with the goal of identifying and evaluating material risks involved in the transaction. Despite our efforts, we may be unsuccessful in ascertaining or evaluating all such risks and, as a result, we may not realize the expected benefits of any such transaction, whether due to unidentified risks, integration difficulties, regulatory setbacks or other events, and we may incur material liabilities for the past activities of acquired businesses. If any of these events were to occur, we could be subject to significant costs and damage to our reputation and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We may need additional capital in order to continue operating our business, and such additional funds may not be available when needed, on acceptable terms, or at all.


We have not started generating cash from operations, and do not yet receive any revenues from any operations. Although we believe we have sufficient cash reserves to operate our business for at least the next 6 months, we will need significant additional capital to execute our business plan and fund our proposed business operations. Additionally, our plans for this period may change, our estimates of our operating expenses and working capital requirements could be inaccurate, we may pursue acquisitions of pharmacies or other strategic transactions that involve one-time expenditures or we may experience growth more quickly or on a larger scale than we expect, any of which may result in the depletion of capital resources more rapidly than anticipated and could require us to seek additional financing earlier than we expect to support our operations.

We may seek to obtain additional capital through additional equity or debt financings, funding from corporate partnerships or licensing arrangements, sales or assets or other financing transactions. If additional capital is not available when necessary and on acceptable terms, we may need to forego pursuit of potentially valuable development or acquisition opportunities, we may not be able to continue to operate our business pursuant to our business plan or we may be forced to discontinue our operations entirely. If we issue equity or convertible debt securities to raise additional funds, our existing stockholders may experience substantial dilution, and the newly issued equity or debt securities may have more favorable terms or rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders. If we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements or sales of assets, we may be required to relinquish potentially valuable rights to our product candidates or proprietary technologies, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. If we raise funds by incurring debt, we may be required to pay significant interest expenses and our leverage relative to our earnings or to our equity capitalization may increase. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, would increase our liabilities and future cash commitments and may impose restrictions on our activities, such as financial or operational covenants with which we must comply. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing transactions, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as options, convertible notes and warrants, which would adversely impact our financial results.




If we are unable to establish, train and maintain an effective sales and marketing infrastructure, we will not be able to commercialize our product candidates successfully.


We expect to build an internal sales and marketing infrastructure to implement our business plan with the development of internal sales teams and education campaigns to market our proprietary ophthalmology and urology formulations. We will need to expend significant resources to further establish and grow this internal infrastructure and properly train sales personnel with respect to regulatory compliance matters. We may also choose to engage third parties to provide sales and marketing services for us, either in place of or to supplement our internal commercialization infrastructure. We may not be able to secure sales personnel or relationships with third-party sales organizations that are adequate in number or expertise to successfully market and sell our proprietary formulations and pharmacy services. Further, any third-party organizations we may seek to engage may not be able to provide sales and marketing services in accordance with our expectations and standards, may be more expensive than we can afford or may not be available on otherwise acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to establish and maintain compliant and adequate sales and marketing capabilities, through our own internal infrastructure or third-party services, we may be unable to sell our formulations or services or generate revenue.

We may be unable to demonstrate the safety and efficacy or obtain FDA regulatory approval to market and sell any product candidates for which we seek FDA approval.


Although our current business strategy is focused on developing and commercializing product opportunities as compounded formulations, we may choose to seek FDA regulatory approval to market and sell one or more of our assets as a FDA-approved drug. The process of obtaining FDA approval to market and sell pharmaceutical products is costly, time consuming, uncertain and subject to unanticipated delays. If we choose to pursue FDA approval for one or more product candidates, the FDA or other regulatory agencies may not approve the product candidate on a timely basis or at all. Before we could obtain FDA approval for the sale of any of our potential product candidates, we would be required to demonstrate through preclinical studies and clinical trials that the product candidate is safe and effective for each intended use. Preclinical and clinical studies may fail to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our potential product candidates. Even promising results from preclinical and early clinical studies do not accurately predict positive results in later, large-scale trials. A failure to demonstrate safety and efficacy of a product candidate to the FDA’s satisfaction would result in our failure to obtain FDA approval. Moreover, even if the FDA were to grant regulatory approval of a product candidate, the approval may be limited to specific therapeutic areas or limited with respect to its distribution, which could limit revenues, and we would be subject to extensive and costly post-approval requirements and oversight with respect to our commercialization of the product candidate.

Delays in the conduct or completion of, or the termination of, any clinical and non-clinical trials for any product candidates for which we seek FDA approval could adversely affect our business.


Clinical trials are very expensive, time consuming, unpredictable and difficult to design and implement. The results of clinical trials may be unfavorable, they may continue for several years and may take significantly longer to complete and involve significantly more costs than expected. Delays in the commencement or completion of clinical testing could significantly affect our product development costs and business plan with respect to any product candidate for which we seek FDA approval. The commencement and completion of clinical trials can be delayed and experience difficulties for a number of reasons, including delays and difficulties caused by circumstances over which we may have no control. For instance, approvals of the scope, design or trial site may not be obtained from the FDA and other required bodies in a timely manner or at all, agreements with acceptable terms may not be reached with clinical research organizations (CROs) to conduct the trials, a sufficient number of subjects may not be recruited and enrolled in the trials, and third-party manufacturers of the materials for use in the trials may encounter delays and problems in the manufacturing process, including failure to produce materials in sufficient quantities or of an acceptable quality to complete the trials. If we were to experience delays in the commencement or completion of, or if we were to terminate, any clinical or non-clinical trials we pursue in the future, the commercial prospects for the applicable product candidates may be limited or eliminated, which may prevent us from recoupingrealizing the expected benefits from acquisitions and could result in the failure to realize the full economic value of a strategic transaction or the impairment of goodwill and/or intangible assets recognized at the time of an acquisition. These risks could be heightened if we complete a large acquisition or multiple acquisitions within a short period of time.

Our Future Success Depends, in Part, on the Performance and Continued Service of Our Officers

We presently depend to a great extent upon the experience, abilities and continued services of our investment on research and development efforts for the product candidate and wouldmanagement team. The loss of our management team’s services could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, financial condition and prospects.




We will be dependent on third partiesoperation. Failure to conduct clinical trials and non-clinical studies ofmaintain our formulations.


We do not expect to employ personnel or possess the facilities necessary to conduct many of the activities associated with our non-clinical research activities or any clinical programs we may pursue in the future. We have engaged, and expect to continue to engage consultants, advisors, CROs and others to design, conduct, analyze and interpret the results of studies in connection with the research and development of our products. In addition, we have in the past provided and expect to continue to provide grants to physicians and other healthcare organizations to support investigator-initiated studies of our proprietary formulations. We generally have only very limited contractual rights in connection with the conduct of any such studies. In addition, if we were to participate in clinical trials conducted under an approved investigator-sponsored NDA, correspondence and communication with the FDA pertaining to these trials would strictly be between the investigator and the FDA. The communication and information provided by the investigator may not be appropriate and accurate, whichmanagement team could result in reviews, audits, delays or clinical holds by the FDA that affect the timelines for these studies and potentially risk the completion of these trials. As a result, many important aspects of any studies of our proprietary formulations and clinical or non-clinical trials for any drug candidates we determine to pursue are not in our direct control.

If the third parties we engage to perform these activities fail to devote sufficient time and resourcesprove disruptive to our studies, or if their performance is substandard, it would delay the introductiondaily operations, require a disproportionate amount of our proprietary formulations to the market or the approval of our applications to regulatory agencies. Failure of these third parties to meet their obligations could adversely affect development of our proprietary formationsresources and product candidatesmanagement attention and as a result could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.


Even if we successfully develop any product candidate intoWe Are in an FDA-approved drug, failureIntensely Competitive Industry and There Can Be No Assurance That We Will Be Able to complyCompete with continuing federal and state regulations could resultOur Competitors Who May Have Greater Resources

We face strong competition from competitors in the losshealthcare industry, including competitors who could duplicate our models. Many of approvals to market the drug.


Even if we successfully develop any product candidate into an FDA-approved drug, we would be subject to extensive continuing regulatory requirements and review, including review of adverse drug experiences and clinical results from any post-marketing tests or continued actions required as a condition of approval. The manufacturer and manufacturing facilities we would use to produce any such drug preparations would be subject to periodic review and inspection by the FDA, and we would be reliant on these third parties to maintain their manufacturing processes in compliance with FDA and all other applicable regulatory requirements. Any changes to a product thatcompetitors may have achieved approval, including the way it is manufactured or promoted, would often require FDA approval before the product, as modified, could be marketed.substantially greater financial, marketing and development resources and other capabilities than us. In addition, we andthere are very few barriers to entry into the market for our contract manufacturers wouldservices. There can be subject to ongoing FDA requirements for submission of safety and other post-market information. If we or our contract manufacturers failed to comply with these or any other applicable regulatory requirements, a regulatory agency may, among other things, issue warning letters, impose civil or criminal penalties, suspend or withdraw regulatory approval, impose restrictions on our operations, close the facilities of our contract manufacturers, seize or detain products or require a product recall.

Regulatory review also covers a company’s activities in the promotion of its FDA-approved drugs, with significant potential penalties and restrictions for promotion of drugs for an unapproved use. Sales and marketing programs are under scrutiny for compliance with various mandated requirements, such as illegal promotions to health care professionals. We are also required to submit information on our open and completed clinical trials to public registries and databases. Failure to comply with these requirements could expose us to negative publicity, fines and penaltiesno assurance, therefore, that could harm our business.

We may face additional competition outside of the U.S. as a result of a lack of patent coverage in some territories and differences in patent prosecution and enforcement laws in foreign counties.


Filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing patents on our proprietary formulations throughout the world is extremely expensive. While we have filed five international patent applications under the Patent Cooperation Treaty, we do not currently have patent protection outside of the U.S. that covers any of our proprietary formulations or other assets that we are currently pursuing. Competitors may use our technologies to develop their own products in jurisdictions where we have not obtained patent protection. These products may compete with ours and may not be covered by any of our patent claims or other intellectual property rights.




Even if we were to file international patent applications for any of our current and future competitors, many of whom may have far greater resources, will not independently develop services that are substantially equivalent or future proprietary formulationssuperior to our services. Therefore, an investment in our Company is very risky and patents were issued or approved, it is likely thatspeculative due to the scope of protection provided by such patents would be different from, and possibly less than, the scope provided by corresponding U.S. patents. The success of our international market opportunity would be dependent upon the enforcement of patent rights in various other countries. Several countriescompetitive environment in which we could file patent applications have a history of weak enforcement and/may operate.

Our competitors may be able to provide customers with different or compulsory licensing of intellectual property rights. Moreover, the legal systems of certain countries, particularly certain developing countries, do not favor the aggressive enforcement of patentsgreater capabilities or benefits than we can provide in areas such as technical qualifications, past contract performance, geographic presence and other intellectual property protection, particularly those relating to biotechnology and/or pharmaceuticals, which would make it difficult for us to stop a party from infringing anyprice. Furthermore, many of our intellectual property rights. Even if we have patents issued in these jurisdictions, our patent rightscompetitors may not be sufficientable to prevent generic competition or unauthorized use. Moreover, attemptingutilize substantially greater resources and economies of scale to enforce our patent rights in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial costs and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business.

Our proprietary formulationsdevelop competing products and technologies, could potentially conflictdivert sales away from us by winning broader contracts or hire away our employees by offering more lucrative compensation packages. In order to secure contracts successfully when competing with the rights of others.


The preparation or sale of our proprietary formulations and use of our technologies may infringe on the patent rights of others. If our products infringe or conflict with the patent or other intellectual property rights of others, third parties could bring legal actions against us claiming damages and seeking to enjoin our manufacturing and marketing of affected products. Patent litigation is costly and time consuming and may divert management’s attention and our resources. We may not have sufficient resources to bring any such actions to a successful conclusion. If we are not successful in defending against these legal actions should they arise,larger, well-financed companies, we may be subject to monetary liability, be forced to alter our products or cease some or all of our operations relatingagree to contractual terms that provide for lower aggregate payments to us over the affected products, or seek to obtain a license in order to continue manufacturing and marketing the affected products, which may not available on acceptable terms or at all.


We will be dependent on our management team for the growth and development of our Company.


We currently have three executives in place, our CEO, COO, and an Advisor. The recruitment of key personnel will be critical to our success. Our CEO, COO, and Advisor along with other senior managers will play a primary role in creating and developing our current business model, and securing much of our material intellectual property rights and related assets, as well as the means to make and distribute our current products. We will be highly dependent on this team for the implementation of our business plan and the future development of our assets and our business, and the loss of any key memberlife of the senior team’s services to and leadership ofcontract, which could adversely affect our Company would likely materially adversely impact the Company. We presently do not expect to have key man insurance for our senior manager(s).

If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel and consultants, we may be unable to maintain or expand our business.


We have developed a new business model and have focused on building our management, pharmacy, research and development, sales and marketing and other personnel in order to pursue this business model. However, because of our lack of history, we may have significant difficulty attracting and retaining necessary employees. In addition, because of the specialized nature of our business, our ability to develop products andmargins. Our failure to compete will remain highly dependent, in large part, upon our abilityeffectively with respect to attract and retain qualified pharmacy, scientific, technical and commercial employees and consultants. The lossany of key employeesthese or consultants or the failure to recruit or engage new employees and consultantsother factors could have a material adverse effect on our business. Therebusiness, prospects, financial condition or operating results.

Risks Specific to the Software, Systems and Technology Industries

We may incur substantial costs related to product-related liabilities. Many of our software solutions, health care devices, technology-enabled services or other services (collectively referred to as “Solutions and Services”) are intended for use in collecting, storing and displaying clinical and health care-related information used in the diagnosis and treatment of patients and in related health care settings such as registration, scheduling and billing. We attempt to limit by contract our liability; however, the limitations of liability set forth in the contracts may not be enforceable or may not otherwise protect us from liability for damages. We may also be subject to claims that are not covered by contract. Although we maintain liability insurance coverage, there can be no assurance that such coverage will cover any particular claim that has been brought or that may be brought in the future, that such coverage will prove to be adequate or that such coverage will continue to remain available on acceptable terms, if at all. A successful material claim or series of claims brought against us, if uninsured or under-insured, could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. Product-related claims, even if not successful, could damage our reputation, cause us to lose existing clients, limit our ability to obtain new clients, divert management's attention from operations, result in significant revenue loss, create potential liabilities for our clients and us and increase insurance and other operational costs.

We may be subject to claims for system errors and warranties. Our Solutions and Services are very complex and may contain design, coding or other errors, especially when first introduced. It is intense competitionnot uncommon for qualifiedHCIT providers to discover errors in Solutions and Services after their introduction to the market. Similarly, the installation of our Solutions and Services is very complex and errors in the implementation and configuration of our systems can occur. Our Solutions and Services are intended for use in collecting, storing, and displaying clinical and health care-related information used in the diagnosis and treatment of patients and in related health care settings such as registration, scheduling and billing. Therefore, users of our Solutions and Services are less tolerant of errors than the market for other types of technologies generally. Our client agreements typically provide warranties concerning material errors and other matters. If a client's Solutions and Services fail to meet these warranties or leads to faulty clinical decisions or injury to patients, it could 1) constitute a material breach under the client agreement, allowing the client to terminate the agreement and possibly obtain a refund or damages or both, or require us to incur additional expense in order to make the Solution or Service meet these criteria; or 2) subject us to claims or litigation by our clients or clinicians or directly by the patient. Additionally, such failures could damage our reputation and could negatively affect future sales. Our client agreements generally limit our liability arising from such claims, but such limits may not be enforceable in certain jurisdictions or circumstances. Although we maintain liability insurance coverage, there can be no assurance that such coverage will cover any particular claim that has been brought or that may be brought in the future, that such coverage will prove to be adequate or that such coverage will continue to remain available on acceptable terms, if at all. A successful material claim or series of claims brought against us, if uninsured or under-insured, could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

11

We may experience interruptions at our data centers or client support facilities, which could interrupt clients’ access to their data, exposing us to significant costs and reputational harm. We perform data center and/or hosting services for certain clients, including the collection and storage of critical patient and administrative data and the provision of support services through various client support facilities. Our business relies on the secure electronic transmission, data center storage and hosting of sensitive information, including protected health information; personally, identifiable information; financial information; and other sensitive information relating to our clients and their patients, providers and certain billing information, our company, our workforce and our third party suppliers. Complete failure of all local public power and backup generators; impairment of all telecommunications lines; a successful concerted denial of service attack; a significant system, network or data breach; damage, injury or impairment (environmental, accidental or intentional) to the buildings, the equipment inside the buildings housing our data centers, the personnel operating such facilities or the client data contained therein; or errors by the personnel trained to operate such facilities could cause a disruption in operations and negatively impact clients who depend on us for data center and system support services. We may offer our clients disaster recovery services for additional fees to protect clients from isolated data center failures, leveraging our multiple data center facilities; however only a small percentage of our hosted clients choose to contract for these services. We use third party public cloud providers in connection with certain cloud-based offerings and third parties to host our own data, in which case we have to rely on such third parties to prevent service interruption and such reliance is subject to similar risks described above with respect to our own data center and hosting services.

If our IT security is breached, or if the IT security of third parties on which we rely is breached, we could be subject to increased expenses, exposure to legal claims and regulatory actions, and clients and prospective clients could be deterred from using our Solutions and Services. We are in the information technology business, and in providing our Solutions and Services, we store, retrieve, process and manage our clients’ information and data (and that of their patients), as well as our own data. We believe we have a reputation for secure and reliable Solution and Service offerings, and we have invested a great deal of time and resources in protecting the security, confidentiality, integrity and availability of our Solutions and Services and the internal and external data that we manage. Third parties attempt to identify and exploit Solution and Service vulnerabilities, penetrate or bypass our security measures, and gain unauthorized access to our or our clients’ and suppliers’ software, hardware and cloud offerings, networks and systems, any of which could lead to disruptions in mission-critical systems or the unauthorized release or corruption of personal information or the confidential information or data of our clients or their patients.

High-profile security breaches at other companies have increased in recent years, and security industry experts and government officials have warned about the risks of hackers and cyber-attacks targeting information technology products and businesses. Although this is an industry-wide problem that affects other software and hardware companies, we may be unabletargeted by computer hackers because we are a prominent health care IT company and have high profile clients, including government clients. These risks will increase as we continue to grow our cloud offerings, collect, store and process increasingly large amounts of our clients’ confidential data, including personal health information, and host or manage parts of our clients’ businesses in cloud-based/multi-tenant IT environments. We use third party public cloud providers in connection with certain cloud-based offerings and third-party providers to host our own data, in which case we have to rely on the processes, control and security such third parties have in place to protect the infrastructure, which are subject to similar risks described above with respect to our IT security.

We continue to invest in and improve our threat protection, detection and mitigation policies, procedures and controls. In addition, we work with other companies in the industry on increased awareness and enhanced protections against cybersecurity threats. Because of the evolving nature and sophistication of these security threats, which can be difficult to detect, there can be no assurance that our policies, procedures and controls or those of third parties on which we rely will detect or prevent any of these threats and we cannot predict the full impact of any such past or future incident.

The costs we would incur to address and remediate these security incidents would increase our expenses, and our efforts to address these problems may not be successful and could result in interruptions, delays, cessation of service and loss of existing or potential clients that may impede our sales, development of solutions, provision of services or other critical functions. If a cyber-attack or other security incident described above were to allow unauthorized access to or modification of our clients' or suppliers' data, our own data or our IT systems, or if our Solutions or Services are perceived as having security vulnerabilities, we could suffer significant damage to our brand and reputation. This in turn could lead to fewer clients using our Solutions and Services and result in reduced revenue and earnings. These types of security incidents could also lead to lawsuits, regulatory investigations and claims and increased legal liability, including regulatory actions by state and federal government authorities and non-US authorities and, in some cases, contractual costs related to notification and fraud monitoring of impacted persons. We maintain cyber risk insurance, but this insurance may not be sufficient to cover all of our losses from any future breaches of our IT systems or those of third parties on which we rely.

12

Our proprietary technology may be subject to claims for infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights of others, or our intellectual property rights may be infringed or misappropriated by others. We rely upon a combination of confidentiality practices and policies, license agreements, confidentiality provisions in employment agreements, confidentiality agreements with third parties and technical security measures to maintain the confidentiality, exclusivity and trade secrecy of our proprietary information. We also rely on trademark and copyright laws to protect our intellectual property rights in the U.S. and abroad. We continue to develop our patent portfolio of U.S. and global patents, but these patents do not provide comprehensive protection for the wide range of Solutions and Services we offer. Despite our protective measures and intellectual property rights, we may not be able to adequately protect against theft, copying, reverse engineering, misappropriation, infringement or unauthorized use or disclosure of our intellectual property, which could have an adverse effect on our competitive position.

In addition, we are routinely involved in intellectual property infringement or misappropriation claims, and we expect this activity to continue or even increase as the number of competitors, patents and patent enforcement organizations in the HCIT and broader IT market increases, the functionality of our Solutions and Services expands, the use of open-source software increases and we enter new geographies and new market segments. These claims, even if unmeritorious, are expensive to attractdefend and retainare often incapable of prompt resolution. If we become liable to third parties for infringing or misappropriating their intellectual property rights, we could be required to pay a substantial damage award, develop alternative technology, obtain a license or cease using, selling, offering for sale, licensing, implementing or supporting the qualified personnel necessaryapplicable Solutions and Services.

Many of our software solutions and technology-enabled services contain open source software that may pose particular risks to our proprietary software solutions and technology-enabled services in a manner that could have a negative effect on our business. We rely upon open source software in our software solutions and technology-enabled services. The licensing terms applicable for certain open source software have not been interpreted by U.S. or foreign courts and could be construed in a manner that imposes unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to provide and support our Solutions or Services.

Additionally, we may encounter claims from third parties claiming ownership and unauthorized use of the developmentsoftware purported to be licensed under the open source terms, demanding release of derivative works of open source software that could include our proprietary source code, or otherwise seeking to enforce the terms of the applicable open source licenses. These claims could result in litigation and, even if unmeritorious, could be expensive to defend and incapable of prompt resolution. If we become liable to third parties for such claims, we could be required to make our software source code available under the applicable open source license, utilize or develop alternative technology, or cease using, selling, offering for sale, licensing, implementing or supporting the applicable solutions or technology-enabled services. In addition, use of certain open source software may pose greater risks than use of third-party commercial software, as most open source licensors and distributors do not provide commercial warranties or indemnities or controls on the origin of the software.

We may become involved in legal proceedings that could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. From time to time and in the ordinary course of our business, we and certain of our subsidiaries may become involved in various legal proceedings and claims, including for example, employment disputes and litigation; client disputes and litigation alleging solution and implementation defects, personal injury, intellectual property infringement, violations of law and breaches of contract and warranties; and other third party disputes and litigation alleging personal injury, intellectual property infringement, violations of law, and breaches of contracts and warranties. All such legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable and, regardless of the merits of the claims, litigation may be expensive, time-consuming and disruptive to our operations and distracting to management. If resolved against us, such legal proceedings could result in excessive verdicts, injunctive relief or other equitable relief that may affect how we operate our business.

 




Changes inSimilarly, 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 healthcare industry that are beyond our control may have an adverse impact on our business.


The healthcare industry is changing rapidly as consumers, governments, medical professionals and the pharmaceutical industry examine ways to broaden medical coverage while controlling the increase in healthcare costs. Such changes could include changes to make the government’s Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement programs more restrictive, which could limit or curtail the potential for our proprietary formulations to obtain eligibility for reimbursement from such payors, or changes to expand the reach of HIPAA or other health privacy laws, which could make compliance with these laws more costly and burdensome. Further, the Health Reform Law may have a considerable impact on the existing U.S. system for the delivery and financing of health care and conceivably could have a material effect on our business, although the details for implementation of manyscope of the requirements under the Health Reform Law will depend on the promulgation of regulations by a number of federal government agencies. It is impossible to predict the final requirements of the Health Reform Law, any other changes to laws and regulations affecting the healthcare industry, or the net effect of these requirements or changes on our business, operations or financial performance.

Because of their significant ownership, some of our existing shareholders may be able to exert control overcoverage in legal proceedings brought against us, and our significant corporate decisions.


Our executive officers and directors own or have the right to acquire approximately 20% of our shares that would be outstanding following such issuances. The sale of even a portion of these shares, or the perception that such sales may occur, would likelyit could have a material adverse effect on our stock price. business, results of operations and financial condition.

Non-U.S. operations are subject to inherent risks, and our business, results of operations and financial condition, including our revenue growth and profitability, could be adversely affected by a variety of uncontrollable and changing factors. These include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could materially affect our financial results. Our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. In general, the functional currency of our subsidiaries is the local currency where the subsidiary operates. For each subsidiary, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates and revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the month of the transaction. Therefore, increases or decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar against other major currencies affect our revenues, net earnings and the value of balance sheet items denominated in foreign currencies. Future fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against major currencies, could materially affect our financial results.

We are subject to tax legislation in numerous countries; changes in tax laws or challenges to our tax positions could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We are a global corporation with a presence in more than 35 countries. As such, we are subject to tax laws, regulations and policies of the U.S. federal, state and local governments and of comparable taxing authorities in other country jurisdictions. Changes in tax laws, including for example the U.S. federal tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Act”), as well as other factors, could cause us to experience fluctuations in our tax obligations and effective tax rates in 2018 and thereafter and otherwise adversely affect our tax positions and/or our tax liabilities. Although our accounting for the effects of the enactment of the Tax Act is now complete, there could be additional regulations we may become subject to. The full impact of the Tax Act on us may change significantly as regulations, interpretations and rulings relating to the Tax Act are issued and additional changes in U.S. federal and state tax laws may be made in the future. There can be no assurance that our effective tax rates, tax payments, tax credits or incentives will not be adversely affected by these or other initiatives.

In addition, U.S. federal, state and local, as well as other countries' tax laws and regulations, are extremely complex and subject to varying interpretations and requires significant judgment in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities. Longstanding international tax norms that determine each country's jurisdiction to tax cross-border international trade are evolving as a result of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting reporting requirements (“BEPS”) recommended by the G8, G20 and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”). Further, during 2018, the European Commission issued proposals and the OECD issued an interim report related to the taxation of the digital economy. As these persons, acting together,and other tax laws and related regulations change, our financial results could be materially impacted. Given the unpredictability of these possible changes and their potential interdependency, it is very difficult to assess the overall effect of such potential tax changes, but such changes could adversely impact our financial results.

Our success depends upon the recruitment and retention of key personnel. To remain competitive in our industries, we must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled managerial, sales, marketing, consulting and technical personnel, including executives, consultants, programmers and systems architects skilled in the HCIT, health care devices, health care transactions, population health management and revenue cycle industries and the technical environments in which our Solutions and Services are offered. Competition for such personnel in our industries is intense in both the U.S. and abroad. We may also experience increased compensation costs that are not offset by either improved productivity or higher sales. Our failure to attract additional qualified personnel and to retain and motivate existing personnel to meet our needs could have a material adverse effect on our prospects for long-term growth. In addition, we invest significant time and expense in training our associates, which increases their value to clients and competitors who may seek to recruit them and increases the cost of replacing them. Our success is dependent to a significant degree on the continued contributions of key management, sales, marketing, consulting and technical personnel. Members of our senior management team have left over the years for a variety of reasons, and we cannot guarantee that there will not be additional departures. The unexpected loss of key personnel, or the failure to successfully develop and execute effective succession planning to assure smooth transitions of those key associates and their knowledge, relationships and expertise, could disrupt our business and have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition, and could potentially inhibit development and delivery of our Solutions and Services and market share advances.

We may be subject to harassment or discrimination claims and legal proceedings, and our inability or failure to respond to and effectively manage publicity related to such claims could adversely impact our business. Although our Code of Conduct and other employment policies prohibit harassment and discrimination in the workplace, in sexual or in any other form, we have ongoing programs for workplace training and compliance, and we investigate and take disciplinary action with respect to alleged violations, actions by our associates could violate those policies. And, with the increased use of social media platforms, including blogs, chat platforms, social media websites, and other forms of Internet-based communications that allow individuals access to a broad audience, there has been an increase in the speed and accessibility of information dissemination. The dissemination of information via social media, including information about alleged harassment, discrimination or other claims, could harm our business, brand, reputation, financial condition, and results of operations, regardless of the information's accuracy.

We depend on strategic relationships and third-party suppliers and our revenue and operating earnings could suffer if we fail to manage these relationships properly. To be successful, we must continue to maintain our existing strategic relationships and establish additional strategic relationships as necessary with leaders in the markets in which we operate. We believe that these relationships contribute to our ability to exercise significant influence overfurther build our brand, extend the reach of our Solutions and Services and generate additional revenues and cash flows. If we were to lose critical strategic relationships, this could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We license or controlpurchase certain intellectual property and technology (such as software, services, hardware and content) from third parties, including some competitors, and depend on such third-party intellectual property and software, services, hardware and content in the outcomeoperation and delivery of all matters submitted to our stockholdersSolutions and Services. Additionally, we sell or license third party intellectual property, services and software, hardware or content in conjunction with our Solutions and Services. For instance, we currently depend on Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, Cloudera, Oracle, VMWare and IBM technologies for approval, includingportions of the electionoperational capabilities of our  solutions. Our remote hosting and removal of directors and any significant transaction involving us, and to control our management and affairs.

Additionally, we will rely on companies such as  Dell/EMC, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, Cisco, NetApp, IBM and others for our hardware technology platforms.

 

This concentration of ownership may harm the market priceMost of our common stockthird-party software license support contracts will likely expire within one to five years, can be renewed only by among other things:mutual consent and may be terminated if we breach the terms of the license and fail to cure the breach within a specified period of time. Most of these third-party software licenses are non-exclusive; therefore, our competitors may obtain the right to use any of the technology covered by these licenses and use the technology to compete directly with us.

delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in controlIf any of our Companythird party suppliers were to change product offerings, cease actively supporting the technologies, fail to update and enhance the technologies to keep pace with changing industry standards, encounter technical difficulties in the continuing development of these technologies, significantly increase prices, change delivery models, terminate our licenses or supply contracts, suffer significant capacity or supply chain constraints or suffer significant disruptions, we may need to seek alternative suppliers and incur additional internal or external development costs to ensure continued performance of our Solutions and Services. Such alternatives may not be available on attractive terms or may not be as widely accepted or as effective as the intellectual property or technology provided by our existing suppliers. If the cost of licensing, purchasing or maintaining our third-party intellectual property or technology significantly increases, our operating earnings could significantly decrease. In addition, interruption in functionality of our Solutions and Services as a result of changes in third party suppliers could adversely affect our commitments to clients, future sales of Solutions and Services, and negatively affect our revenue and operating earnings.

We intend to continue strategic business acquisitions and other combinations, which are subject to inherent risks. In order to expand our Solutions and Services offerings and grow our market and client base, we may continue to seek and complete strategic business acquisitions and other combinations that we believe are complementary to our Boardbusiness.

Volatility and disruption resulting from global economic or market conditions could negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial results.


Effective internal controls are necessary forcondition. Our business, results of operations, financial condition and outlook may be impacted by the health of the global economy. Volatility and disruption in global capital and credit markets may lead to slowdowns or declines in client spending which could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Our business and financial performance, including new business bookings and collection of our accounts receivable, may be adversely affected by current and future economic conditions (including a reduction in the availability of credit, higher energy costs, rising interest rates, financial market volatility and lower than expected economic growth) that cause a slowdown or decline in client spending. Reduced purchases by our clients or changes in payment terms could adversely affect our revenue growth and cause a decrease in our cash flow from operations. Bankruptcies or similar events affecting clients may cause us to incur bad debt expense at levels higher than historically experienced. Further, volatility and disruption in global financial markets may also limit our ability to access the capital markets at a time when we would like, or need, to raise capital, which could have an impact on our ability to react to changing economic and business conditions. Accordingly, if global financial and economic volatility continues or worsens, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

We operate in intensely competitive and dynamic industries, and our ability to successfully compete and continue to grow our business depends on our ability to respond quickly to market changes, changing technologies and evolving pricing and deployment methods and to bring competitive new Solutions and Services and features to market in a timely fashion. The market for health care information systems, Solutions and Services to the health care industry is intensely competitive, dynamically evolving and subject to rapid technological advances and innovative enhancements, changing delivery and pricing models, evolving standards in computer hardware and software development and communications infrastructure, and changing and increasingly sophisticated client needs. Development of new proprietary Solutions or Services is complex, entails significant time and expense, may not be successful and often involves a long return on investment cycle. We cannot guarantee that the market for our Solutions and Services will develop as quickly as expected or at all or that we will be able to introduce new Solutions or Services on schedule or at all. Moreover, we cannot guarantee that errors will not be found in our new Solution releases before or after commercial release, which could result in Solution delivery redevelopment costs, harm to our reputation, lost sales, license terminations or renegotiations, product liability claims, diversion of resources to remedy errors and loss of, or delay in, market acceptance. We believe that we must continue to dedicate a significant amount of resources to our research and development efforts to maintain our competitive position; and oftentimes, successful investments require several years before generating significant revenue.

In addition, we expect that major software information systems companies, highly capitalized consumer technology companies, large information technology consulting service providers and system integrators, start-up companies and others operating in the health care industry may offer competitive Solutions and Services. As we continue to develop new Solutions and Services to address areas such as analytics, transaction services, device integration, revenue cycle and population health management, we expect to face new competitors, and these competitors may have more experience in these markets, better brand recognition and/or more established relationships with prospective clients. We face strong competition and often face downward price pressure, which could adversely affect our results of operations or liquidity. For example, some of our competitors may bundle products for promotional purposes or as a long-term pricing strategy, commit to large deployments at prices that are unprofitable, or provide reliable financial reports.guarantees of prices and product implementations. These practices could, over time, significantly constrain the prices that we can charge for certain of our Solutions and Services. If we cannotdo not adapt our pricing models to reflect changes in use of our Solutions and Services or changes in client demand, our revenues could decrease.

Additionally, the pace of change in the health care information systems market is rapid and there are frequent new software solution introductions, new deployment models (such as via the cloud), software solution enhancements, device introductions, device enhancements and evolving industry standards and requirements. We provide reliableour cloud and other offerings to clients globally via deployment models that best suit their needs, including via our cloud-based software as a services (SaaS) offering. As our business models continue to evolve, we may not be able to compete effectively, generate significant revenues or maintain the profitability of our cloud offerings. If we do not successfully execute our strategy or anticipate the needs of our clients, our reputation as a SaaS provider could be harmed and our revenues and profitability could decline. There are a limited number of hospitals and other health care providers in the U.S. market and in recent years, the health care industry has been subject to increasing consolidation. If we are unable to recognize the impact of industry consolidation, falling costs and technological advancements in a timely manner, or we are too inflexible to rapidly adjust our business models, our prospects and financial reports, our operating results could be misstated,negatively affected materially.

Our success also depends on our reputationability to maintain and expand our business with our existing clients and effectively transition existing clients to current Solutions and Services, as well as attracting additional clients. Certain clients originally purchased one or a limited number of our Solutions and Services. These clients may choose not to expand their use of or purchase new Solutions and Services. Failure to generate additional business from our current clients could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and operating results.

16

If we are unable to manage our growth in the new markets in which we offer Solutions and Services, our business, results of operations and financial condition could suffer. Our future financial results will depend on our ability to profitably manage our business in the new markets that we enter. Over the past several years, we have pursued growth and expansion opportunities in the areas of analytics, revenue cycle and population health. To achieve success in those areas, we will need to, among other things, recruit, train, retain and effectively manage associates, manage changing business conditions and implement and improve our technical, administrative, financial control and reporting systems for offerings in those areas. Difficulties in managing future growth in new markets could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Long sales cycles for our Solutions and Services could have a material adverse impact on our future results of operations. Some of our Solutions and Services have long sales cycles, ranging from several months to eighteen months or more beginning at initial contact with the client through execution of a contract. How and when to implement, replace, or expand an information system, or modify, add or outsource business processes, are major decisions for health care organizations. Many of the Solutions and Services we provide require a substantial capital investment and time commitments by the client or prospective client. Any decision by our clients or prospective clients to delay a purchasing decision could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

There are risks associated with our outstanding and future indebtedness. We have customary restrictive covenants in our current debt agreements, which may limit our flexibility to operate our business. These covenants include limitations on priority debt, liens, mergers, asset dispositions, and transactions with affiliates, and require us to maintain certain leverage and interest coverage ratios. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, could result in reduced liquidity for the Company and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, our ability to pay interest and repay the principal for our indebtedness is dependent upon our ability to manage our business operations, generate sufficient cash flows to service such debt and the other factors discussed in this section. There can be no assurance that we will be able to manage any of these risks successfully.

Changes in accounting standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other standard-setting bodies may adversely affect our financial statements. Our financial statements are subject to the application of U.S. GAAP, which is periodically revised and/or expanded. From time to time, we are required to adopt new or revised accounting standards issued by recognized authoritative bodies, including the FASB and the SEC. It is possible that future accounting standards we are required to adopt, such as amended guidance for lease accounting, may require changes to the current accounting treatment that we apply to our consolidated financial statements and may require us to make significant changes to our processes and systems. Refer to Note (1) of the notes to consolidated financial statements relating to summary of significant accounting policies and recently issued accounting pronouncements for more information. Such changes could result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Related to the Health Care Industry

The health care industry is subject to changing political, economic and regulatory influences, which could impact the purchasing practices and operations of our clients and increase our costs to deliver compliant Solutions and Services. The last four years have been quite active legislatively with major statutes such as the Protecting Access to Medicare Act (PAMA) of 2014 establishing requirements for “Appropriate Use Criteria” in ordering high dollar diagnostic imaging services, the Medicare and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) of 2015 which reformed how physicians are paid under Medicare and which established the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), the 21st Century Cures Act of 2016 (Cures Act) which laid the groundwork for nationwide trusted health information exchange, established interoperability requirements for providers, payers and consumers and which set the framework for information blocking regulations, and most recently the Substance Use Disorder Prevention that Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment for Patients and Communities (SUPPORT) Act of 2018 that includes significant policies for addressing the opioid crisis. These statutes are heavily laden with provisions that directly call for or describe roles for the use of health information technology to help providers comply with new federal requirements under Medicare and for state Medicaid programs.

Many health care providers are consolidating to create integrated health care delivery systems with greater market power. These providers may try to use their market power to negotiate price reductions for our Solutions and Services. As the health care industry consolidates, our client base could be consolidated with fewer buyers, competition for clients could become more intense and the importance of landing new client relationships becomes greater.

17

Reform of payment policies for Medicare and Medicaid continues to evolve. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “ACA”) became law in 2010; this comprehensive health care reform legislation introduced value-based principles into federal health insurance payments systems, sought to improve health care quality, and expanded access to affordable health insurance. MACRA built upon the value-based policies introduced by the ACA. These legislative initiatives accelerated the adoption of “Alternative Payment Models” as bundled payment models based on episodes of care or per capita payment for defined populations emerged as alternatives to traditional fee for service payments to providers. Subsequent legislative, regulatory and judicial developments have created uncertainty for the continued implementation of the ACA and other health care-related legislation and, to the extent that implementation continues, the way in which they are implemented. Examples include the Medicare Shared Savings Program for Accountable Care Organizations and the Bundled Payment for Care Improvement - Advanced model program under the Innovation Center of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) which focuses on episode-based payment for hospital and ambulatory services. Together with ongoing statutory and budgetary policy developments at a federal level, the collective impact of this health care reform legislation could include changes in Medicare and Medicaid payment policies and other health care delivery administrative reforms that could potentially negatively impact our business and the business of our clients. Because of that uncertainty and because of ongoing federal fiscal budgetary pressures yet to be resolved for federal health programs, we cannot predict the full effect of health care legislation on our business at this time. The direction and pace of health care reform initiatives may adversely impact either our operational results or the way we operate our business. Federal health insurance programs still routinely require adoption of certified HCIT as a program requirement or prerequisite, and we anticipate future adoption of new certification requirements. But we also anticipate possible significant impacts from information blocking provisions of the Cures Act and expanded surveillance by federal agencies of both certified HCIT and its use by our clients. CMS has also mandated updates to the electronic prescribing standards and adoption of controlled substance electronic prescribing by hospitals in response to the opioid crisis which may drive upgrades of existing HCIT investments by hospitals and physicians rather than seeking replacement. In response to this uncertainty, purchasers of HCIT may postpone investment decisions, including investments in our Solutions and Services. Future legislation and regulation may ultimately impact the fiscal stability and sustainability of HCIT purchasers. Differences in demand related to new regulatory requirements and/or near-term compliance deadlines that contribute to demand for our Solutions and Services could impact our financial results. There can be no certainty that any legislation that may be harmedadopted will be favorable to our business. We cannot predict whether or when future health care reform initiatives at the federal or state level or other initiatives affecting our business will be proposed, enacted or implemented or what impact those initiatives may have on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The health care industry is highly regulated, and thus, we are subject to several laws, regulations and industry initiatives, non-compliance with certain of which could materially adversely affect our operations or otherwise adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. As a participant in the trading pricehealth care industry, our operations and relationships, and those of our stock could decline. Our controls over financial processesclients, are regulated by several U.S. federal, state, local and reportingforeign governmental entities. The impact of these regulations on us is both direct, to the extent that we are ourselves subject to these laws and regulations, and also indirect, in terms of government program requirements applicable to our clients for the use of HCIT and because, in a number of situations, even though we may not be directly regulated by specific health care laws and regulations, our Solutions and Services must be capable of being used by our clients in a way that complies with those laws and regulations. There is a significant and wide-ranging number of regulations both within the U.S. and abroad, such as regulations in the areas of health care fraud, information blocking, e-prescribing, claims processing and transmission, health care devices, the security and privacy of patient data and interoperability standards, that may be directly or indirectly applicable to our operations and relationships or the business practices of our clients.

Health Care Fraud is a risk. U.S. federal and state governments continue to enhance regulation of and increase their scrutiny over practices involving health care fraud, waste and abuse perpetuated by health care providers and professionals whose services are reimbursed by Medicare, Medicaid and other government health care programs. Our health care provider clients, as well as our provision of Solutions and Services to government entities, subject our business to laws and regulations on fraud and abuse which, among other things, prohibit the direct or indirect payment or receipt of any remuneration for patient referrals, or arranging for or recommending referrals or other business paid for in whole or in part by these federal or state health care programs. U.S. federal enforcement personnel have substantial funding, powers and remedies to pursue suspected or perceived fraud and abuse. The effect of this government regulation on our clients is difficult to predict. Many of the regulations applicable to our clients and that may be effective,applicable to us, including those relating to marketing incentives offered in connection with health care device sales and information blocking, are vague or weindefinite and have not been interpreted by the courts. They may identify material weaknessesbe interpreted or significant deficienciesapplied by a prosecutorial, regulatory or judicial authority in a manner that could broaden their applicability to us or require our internal controls in the future. Any failureclients to remediate any future material weaknesses or implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encounteredmake changes in their implementation, could harm our operating results, causeoperations or the way in which they deal with us. If such laws and regulations are determined to be applicable to us toand if we fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial statementscomply with any applicable laws and regulations, we could be subject to civil and criminal penalties, sanctions or other public disclosures. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information,liability, including exclusion from government health programs, which could have a negativematerial adverse effect on the trading priceour business, results of operations and financial condition. Even an unsuccessful challenge by a regulatory or prosecutorial authority of our stock.activities could result in adverse publicity, require a costly response from us and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.




18

Security and Privacy is a risk. U.S. federal, state and local and foreign laws regulate the confidentiality of personal information, how that information may be used, and the circumstances under which such information may be released. These regulations govern both the disclosure and use of confidential personal and patient medical record information and require the users of such information to implement specified security and privacy measures. U.S. regulations currently in place governing electronic health data transmissions continue to evolve and are often unclear and difficult to apply. Laws in non-U.S. jurisdictions are also evolving and may have similar or even stricter requirements related to the treatment of personal or patient information.

In the U.S., HIPAA regulations apply national standards for some types of electronic health information transactions and the data elements used in those transactions to ensure the integrity, security and confidentiality of health information and standards to protect the privacy of individually identifiable health information. Covered entities under HIPAA, which include health care organizations such as our clients, our employer clinic business and our claims processing, transmission and submission services, are required to comply with HIPAA privacy standards, transaction regulations and security regulations. Moreover, the HITECH provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”), and associated regulatory requirements, extend many of the HIPAA obligations, formerly imposed only upon covered entities, to business associates as well. As a business associate of our clients who are covered entities, we were in most instances already contractually required to comply with the HIPAA regulations as they pertain to handling of covered client data. However, the extension of these HIPAA obligations to business associates by law has created additional liability risks related to the privacy and security of individually identifiable health information.

Evolving HIPAA and HITECH-related laws and regulations in the U.S. and data privacy and security laws and regulations in non-U.S. jurisdictions could restrict the ability of our clients to obtain, use or disseminate patient information. This could adversely affect demand for our Solutions and Services if they are not re-designed in a timely manner to meet the requirements of any new interpretations or regulations that seek to protect the privacy and security of patient data or enable our clients to execute new or modified health care transactions. We may need to expend additional capital, software development and other resources to modify our Solutions and Services to address these evolving data security and privacy issues. Furthermore, our failure to maintain confidentiality of sensitive personal information in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements could damage our reputation and expose us to claims, fines and penalties.

Interoperability Standards creates potential risk. Our clients continue to be concerned and often require that our Solutions and Services be interoperable with other third party HCIT suppliers. Market forces and governmental/regulatory authorities create software interoperability standards that may apply to our Solutions and Services. If our Solutions and Services are not consistent with those standards, we could be forced to incur substantial additional development costs to conform. The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) is charged under the Cures Act with developing a Trusted Exchange Framework that establishes governance requirements for trusted health information exchange in the U.S. ONC has developed the U.S. Common Data Set for Interoperability which may lay the groundwork for future data exchange requirements for trusted exchange. ONC continues to modify and refine these standards. We may incur increased software development and administrative expense and delays in delivering Solutions and Services if we need to update our Solutions and Services to conform to these varying and evolving requirements. In addition, delays in interpreting these standards may result in postponement or cancellation of our clients' decisions to purchase our Solutions and Services. If our Solutions and Services are not compliant with these evolving standards, our market position and sales could be impaired, and we may have to invest significantly in changes to our Solutions and Services.

Risks Related to ourOur Common Stock; Liquidity Risks

Volatility of Stock Price.


The market prices for securities of emerging and development stage companies such as the Company have historically been highly volatile. Difficulty in raising capital as well as future announcements concerning the Company or its competitors, including the results of testing, technological innovations or new commercial products, government regulations, developments concerning proprietary rights, litigation or public concern as to safety of potential products developed by the Company or others, may have a significant adverse impact on the market price of the Company’s stock.

Possible Adverse Effects

19

Our quarterly operating results may vary, which could adversely affect our stock price. Our quarterly operating results have varied in the past and Issuancemay continue to vary in future periods, including variations from guidance, expectations or historical results or trends. Quarterly operating results may vary for a number of Preferred Stockreasons including demand for our Solutions and Services, the financial condition of our current and potential clients, our long sales cycle, potentially long installation and implementation cycles for larger, more complex systems, accounting policy changes and other factors described in this section and elsewhere in this report. As a result of health care industry trends and the market for our Solutions and Services, a large percentage of our revenues are generated by the sale and installation of larger, more complex and higher-priced systems. The sales process for these systems is lengthy and involves a significant technical evaluation and commitment of capital and other resources by the client. Sales may be subject to delays due to changes in clients' internal budgets, procedures for approving large capital expenditures, competing needs for other capital expenditures, additions or amendments to U.S. federal, state or local regulations, availability of personnel resources or by actions taken by competitors. Delays in the expected sale, installation or implementation of these large systems may have a significant negative impact on our anticipated quarterly revenues and consequently our earnings, since a significant percentage of our expenses are relatively fixed. Because of the complexity and value of our contracts, the loss of even a small number of clients could have a significant negative effect on our financial results.


Revenue recognized in any quarter may depend upon our or our clients' abilities to meet project milestones. Delays in meeting these milestone conditions or modification of the project plan could result in a shift of revenue recognition from one quarter to another and could have a material adverse effect on results of operations for a particular quarter.

We may also experience seasonality in revenues. For example, our revenues historically have been lower in the first quarter of the year and greater in the fourth quarter of the year, primarily as a result of clients' year-end efforts to make final capital expenditures for the then-current year. These seasonal variations may lead to fluctuations in our annual and quarterly revenues and operating results.

The Company’s Boardtrading price of our common stock may be volatile. The market for our common stock may experience significant price and volume fluctuations in response to a number of factors including actual or anticipated variations in operating results, articles or rumors about our performance or Solutions and Services, announcements of technological innovations or new services or products by our competitors or us, changes in expectations of future financial performance or estimates of securities analysts, governmental regulatory action, health care reform measures, client relationship developments, economic conditions and changes occurring in the securities markets in general and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. For instance, our quarterly operating results have varied in the past and may continue to vary in future periods, due to a number of reasons including, but not limited to, demand for our Solutions and Services, the financial condition of our current and potential clients, our long sales cycle, potentially long installation and implementation cycles for larger, more complex and higher-priced systems, key management changes, accounting policy changes and other factors described herein. As a matter of policy, we do not generally comment on our stock price or rumors.

Furthermore, the stock market in general, and the markets for software, health care devices, other health care solutions and services and information technology companies in particular have experienced extreme volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, regardless of actual operating performance.

We cannot guarantee that our stock repurchase program or our quarterly dividend program will be fully implemented or that either will enhance long-term stockholder value.

Disclosures Relating to Low Priced Stocks; Restrictions on Resale of Low PriceLow-Price Stocks and on Broker-Dealer Sale; Possible Adverse Effect of “Penny Stock” Rules on Liquidity for the Company’s Securities.


Since the Company has net tangible assets of less than $1,000,000, transactions in the Company’s securities are subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (generally, individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouses). For transactions covered by this Rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and shall receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, this Rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company’s securities and may affect the ability of shareholders to sell any of the Company’s securities in the secondary market.

ITEM 6.      SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA


This Item isWe are not required for Smaller Reporting Companies.to provide the information required by this item because we are a smaller reporting company.


ITEM 7.      MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.


OverviewOur business during 2018 was solidly set in the area of software and solutions in the healthcare arena, generally described as the healthcare information and technology (HCIT) market. We announced plans for a personal healthcare records (PHR) application, SimpleHIPAA, which will allow individuals to track their personal healthcare information. This type of application is intended to include information from the individual, as well as data from healthcare providers extracted from their electronic healthcare records (EHR) systems. Data from individuals might include manual input or from personal devices such as watches, activity trackers and diagnostic devices such as glucose meters or blood pressure measuring devices. Information from healthcare providers might include data gathered from regular doctor visits, specialized care, or even a simple as prescription information from a pharmacy.


Our initial implementation of “SimpleHIPAA”, and “SimpleHIPAA for Vets and Pets”, is intended to include data from pharmacy and prescribers, generated at the time a prescription is written. This information will be embedded inside the application and made available to the end user from both the healthcare provider and from the pharmacy. While providing a starting point for tracking healthcare information for the end user, it also establishes a communications method between the end user and the healthcare provider, and the pharmacy. This communications channel, often thought of as “telemedicine” can allow the end user to provide feedback to the healthcare provider, the pharmacy, or other parties of the end user’s choice.

We have established a design that allows the same product to be used for both human and pet situations, and in a simple form. Further, recognizing that controlling costs is an issue in healthcare, we are a company focused on consolidation of the compounding pharmacy industry through opportunistic acquisitions, startingproviding for advertising to be included in the Southeastdesign. This should both mitigate the costs to deploy the solution for all parties, and then expanding acrossalso perhaps incentivize the US.end user to stay engaged with the application long term for the coupons, points or other benefits that advertising participants might provide.

Our strategy is to gain rapid deployment by using a “top down” distribution through suppliers of healthcare materials who might provide the application to pharmacy and healthcare providers as a means of selling their products more efficiently, and with a “bottom up” approach, letting the end user download and use the application with data already embedded from their healthcare provider or pharmacy.

The initial development was begun in mid-2018, and it is currently awaiting the completion of testing at its first site, a pharmacy in south Florida with a 15-year history in both human and veterinary services. We expect to rapidly scalehave also explored the business throughdevelopment of a combination of profitable acquisitions, organic growth and economies of scale. The concept isnext generation pharmacy management system that a national organization can more effectively leverage a broader product line and operational efficiencies. We also intend to compliment the non-retail compounding distribution model,would embrace tools for compliance with retail units embedded inside existing grocery businesses and through an online “ecommerce” model.

We believenew regulatory requirements in the pharmacy industry and especially compounding pharmacy, can easilyexpect to have a final decision on that project by mid-2019.

While this project continues, we are also evaluating other applications development businesses, generally, but not exclusively in the healthcare area. We think that new technologies such as voice recognition, virtual reality and robotics will all provide excellent vehicles to update traditional information management systems and will find quick acceptance in the healthcare field as well as other large and more traditional markets. Within the healthcare arena one of the most active areas involves software that provides “interoperability”, the interfacing of systems and data so that information may be described as having multiple “flavors”.shared effectively. We believe the markets for both people and petsthere will be many opportunities in this application area, as older systems are both underserved:integrated with newer, or more specialized systems. 

 

a.

Some sell basic OTC medications and provide “delivery only”, and most users rely on insurance reimbursement for payment;

b.

Some are “value added resellers”, using OTC recognized medications, then repackaging, or using combinations, to personalize the product for the client. While vet based is a cash business, the human side is largely insurance reliant;

c.

Some are like “OEM manufacturers”, like a generic drug maker, starting with basic, non-productized materials, and creating both standard and fully customized “novel” formulations for specific maladies and needs. These are more often cash clients, and this approach is well accepted in the pet area, and becoming more accepted for people as alternatives to OTC, and for cash buyers seeking lower cost;

d.

We believe a mix of these can serve the need to drive costs down, and allow innovative approaches to improve patient results.


The pet business is an area of focus. A recent research document, Research from Federal Trade Commission: Pet Medications, May 2015, (which can be found on our web site at: http://truenaturepharma.com/links/) noted the following:


a)

According to one estimate, in 2014 veterinarians accounted for 58 percent of sales of pet medications, with brick and mortar retailers accounting for 28 percent and Internet/mail order retailers accounting for 13 percent;

b)

Approximately 65 percent of U.S. household’s own pets, the most common being dogs and cats, which equates to 79.7 million homes

c)

Critical Accounting Policies


We believe that the accounting policies described below are critical to understanding our business, results of operations and financial condition because they involve the use of more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and any changes in the assumptions used in making the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur could materially impact our consolidated financial statements. 

 

Revenue Recognition


On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605). Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606. The impact of adopting the new revenue standard was not material to our financial statements and there was no adjustment to beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2018.

Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

24

We recognize revenues when all ofdetermine revenue recognition through the following criteria have been met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.steps:


identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

determination of the transaction price;

allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.

Stock-Based Compensation


We recognize compensation costs to employees under FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Under FASB ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation cost for stock options is estimated at the grant date based on each option’s fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. Share-based compensation arrangements may include stock options, restricted share plans, performance basedperformance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.

 

Equity instruments issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by FASB ASC Topic 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees. In general, the measurement date is when either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the FASB ASC.

 

Common Stock Purchase Warrants


The Company accounts for common stock purchase warrants in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”). As is consistent with its handling of stock compensation and embedded derivative instruments, the Company’s cost for stock warrants is estimated at the grant date based on each warrant’s fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model value method for valuing the impact of the expense associated with these warrants. All warrants for the Company have been canceled at this time.

Income Taxes


As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we must estimate our actual current tax liabilities and assess temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the balance sheet. We must assess the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, a valuation allowance must be established. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase or decrease this allowance in a period, the impact will be included in income tax expense in the statement of operations.




Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed would be separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held-for-sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the consolidated balance sheet, if material.

 

25

Business Combinations


We account for business combinations by recognizing the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies, and contingent consideration at their fair values on the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets, estimated contingent consideration payments and pre-acquisition contingencies. Examples of critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets we have acquired or may acquire in the future include but are not limited to:


?

●     future expected cash flows from product sales, support agreements, consulting contracts, other customer contracts, and acquired developed technologies and patents

?

●     discount rates utilized in valuation estimates

?

●     Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results.


Additionally, any change in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date, including changes from events after the acquisition date, such as changes in our estimates of relevant revenue or other targets, will be recognized in earnings in the period of the estimated fair value change. A change in fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration or the occurrence of events that cause results to differ from our estimates or assumptions could have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations or cash flows in the period of the change in the estimate.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


Since our inception, except for standard operating leases, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, including the use of structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Plan of Operations


We are entering the Compounding Pharmacy Industry viaactively developing our current SimpleHIPAA and SimpleHIPAA for Vets and Pets products and awaiting completion of testing before beginning a roll-uptargeted marketing plan.

we intend to acquire multiple libraries of compounding formulations in the process, recognizing that:
some are tailored for local needs;

some will have regional markets with expanded marketing;

some can become nationally accepted, and further productized solutions;

in all cases, we intend to drive the costs down when compared to alternatives from big pharma.

There will be three (3) operating divisions under the publicly traded holding company. The first, expectedbusiness with major market participants including Microsoft, Amazon, Apple and IBM. We expect to be named TN Retail, LLC would hold its retail storefront operations which would provide conventional pharmacy productsable to grow our business activities through sales and unique compounding based solutions. The store would focus on “healthy, holisticmarketing to and natural solutions,” alongwith those major players in the lines of a “Whole Foods of Pharmacy” -style marketing approach which would become the “feeder system” for sale to the Company’s expected compounding production facilities.


The second anticipated separate subsidiary would hold its compounding pharmacy, back office production and central fill operations and is expected to be named “TN Compounding, LLC.” This would be a 503a licensed operation initially, although the Company’s management envisions a network of these facilities located regionally. It may eventually consider a 503b licensed operation to accommodate the ability to provide both sterile and non-sterile products, including products for stocking inventory at medical offices and hospitals.


Lastly, the Company expects to acquire unique related technologies, including a growing library of specialized formulations. Many of these formulations are expected to be unique to its operations, and some may be licensed to others for mass market distribution, or may be produced for stocking inventory at a 503b qualified facility. The entity is expected to be named “TN Technologies, LLC” and will hold those intellectual property assets,industry as well as other novel new approaches it may engage in, directly, or under a license granted from the holders.others worldwide.

The “Southeast Group” isa three-unit compounding operation who finished 2016restricted common stock at over $25 million in revenues, up from $15 million in 2015.  They have large librarya price per share of specialty formulations. They would become the largest “hub”$0.075, subject to certain vesting and expand their distribution through the pending retail expansion, which begins with the “Miami Group”, with overnight home delivery at pass-through costs.

The “Miami Group” isa small retail pharmacy operation who current does 30% in compounding. They operate inside of a grocery chain, renting space from the Hispanic oriented chain in two (2) of their sixteen (16) units. Each store has over 1,500 unique client experiences, and thus far the current management has done nothing to leverage that built-in traffic. We believe the units where a new footprint can be established with generate around $1 million in annualized salesperformance requirements as set forth in the first 12 months after opening, and will reach their maximum at around $2 million in annualized sales. Currently the operations are thinly staffed and do not operate even 40 hours a week. Our plans are to make this the “spoke” and move any significant preparation work to a “hub” site, either at the “Southeast Group” location, or in ‘Florida Group” location.Employment Agreement.

The “Florida Group” is the business upon which the business plan was originally formed in 2016. They have a 15-year operating history, are an all cash business (no insurance reimbursement) and generate a solid 25-30% pre-tax when the owners’ compensation is added in. They do half their business with veterinary operations, an area we would very much like to grow. The finished 2016 at over $2.7 million, up from $2.5 million, and they have no sales effort, no marketing and no significant presence. They have been size constrained by their facility size, and the lack of sales and marketing, though in early March they will move into a new space, fully compliant with the new USP 800 regulations. The new space should allow them to get to around $12 million in production and can operation 24x7 days a week. They will be the “hub” for most of the Florida operations, and their specialty formations fit the older, Florida market.

(the “Company” or “True Nature”), previously known as Trunity Holdings, Inc., became a publicly-traded company through a reverse merger with Brain Tree International, Inc., a Utah corporation (“BTI”). BTI was incorporated on July 26, 1983 to specialize in the development of high technology products or applications including, but not limited to, electronics, computerized technology, new technological product fields, and precious metals. Trunity Holdings, Inc. was the parent company of the prior educational business, named Trunity, Inc., which was formed on July 28, 2009 through the acquisition of certain intellectual property by its three founders.

 

True Nature Holding, Inc. is a Corporationcorporation organized under the Lawslaws of the state of Delaware with principal offices located in Atlanta, Georgia. On January 16, 2016, the Company changed the equity structure that includedeffected a reverse split of 1 for 101, such that all holders of 101 shares of common stock issued and outstanding prior to the effective date of the reverse split would then haveown 1 share and modifiedof common stock upon the effect date of the reverse split.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of True Nature Holding, Inc. as December 31, 2016.2018 and 2017.

 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Accounting – The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

Use of Estimates -The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment.

 

Comprehensive Loss –Comprehensive income (loss) as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Items included in the Company’s comprehensive loss consist of unrealized gains (losses) on securities.

Cash -All highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.

 

Revenue Recognition-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 restructured entityimpact of True Nature Holding, Inc. whichadopting 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 focused on acquiring a series of businesses which specialize in compounding pharmacy activities, has recognized no revenues through December 31, 2016. In fiscal 2017, the Company will recognize revenues when allcontrol of the following criteria have been met: (1) persuasive evidence ofpromised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3)amount that reflects the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

 

We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:

identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

determination of the transaction price;

allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.

Stock-Based Compensation-We recognize the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation cost for stock options is estimated at the grant date based on each option’s fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. Share-based compensation arrangements may include stock options, restricted share plans, performance basedperformance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.




Equity instruments issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments. In general, the measurement date is when either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant.

 

Convertible Instruments-The– 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.

 

Common Stock Purchase Warrants-Warrants – The Company accounts for common stock purchase warrants in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“ASC 815”). As is consistent with its handling of stock compensation and embedded derivative instruments, the Company’s cost for stock warrants is estimated at the grant date based on each warrant’s fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model value method for valuing the impact of the expense associated with these warrants.

 

Stockholders’ Equity-Stockholders Equity – Shares of common stock issued for other than cash have been assigned amounts equivalent to the fair value of the service or assets received in exchange. Common stock share and per share amounts in these financial statements have been adjusted for the effects of a 1 for 101 reverse stock split that occurred in January 2016.

 

Per Share Data-Data – Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive) related to warrants, options and convertible instruments.

 

The Company has excluded all common equivalent shares outstanding for warrants, options and convertible instruments to purchase common stock from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because all such securities are antidilutive for the periods presented. As of December 31, 2016,2018, and 2017, the Company had no outstanding1,167,653 and 142,653 warrants or options.outstanding.  As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had 67,879 options outstanding.

 

Income Taxes-Taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than possible enactments of changes in the tax laws or rates.

 




Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has determined that a valuation allowance is needed due to recent taxable net operating losses, the sale of profitable divisions and the limited taxable income in the carry back periods. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and certain tax loss carryforwards, less any valuation allowance.

 

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions as required in that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is recognized in the consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company does not have any material unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as components of interest expense and other expense, respectively, in arriving at pretax income or loss. The Company does not have any interest and penalties accrued. The Company is generally no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income tax examinations for the years before 2012.

 

Business Combinations-Combinations – The Company accounts for business combinations by recognizing the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies, and contingent consideration at their fair values on the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets, estimated contingent consideration payments and pre-acquisition contingencies. Examples of critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets we have acquired or may acquire in the future include but are not limited to:

 

● 

future expected cash flows from product sales, support agreements, consulting contracts, other customer contracts, and acquired developed technologies and patents; and

discount rates utilized in valuation estimates.

 

Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results. Additionally, any change in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date, including changes from events after the acquisition date, such as changes in our estimates of relevant revenue or other targets, will be recognized in earnings in the period of the estimated fair value change. A change in fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration or the occurrence of events that cause results to differ from our estimates or assumptions could have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations or cash flows in the period of the change in the estimate.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets-Long – Lived Assets - Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed would be separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held-for-sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the consolidated balance sheet, if material. No impairment losses have been realized for the periods presented.

 




Financial Instruments and Fair Values-Values – theThe fair value of a financial instrument represents the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based upon relevant market information about the financial instrument. In determining fair value, we use various valuation methodologies and prioritize the use of observable inputs. We assess the inputs used to measure fair value using a three-tier hierarchy based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market:

 

Level 1 – inputs include exchange quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable.

 

Level 2 – inputs include brokered and/or quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs such as interest rates.

 

Level 3 – inputs include data not observable in the market and reflect management judgment about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

The use of observable and unobservable inputs and their significant in measuring fair value are reflected in our hierarchy assessment. The carrying amount of cash, prepaid assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Because cash and cash equivalents are readily liquidated, management classifies these values as Level 1. The fair value of the debentures 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 debentures as Level 3.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards-Standards In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which relates to the financial statement presentation of debt issuance costs. This guidance requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a reduction of the related debt liability rather than an asset. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted and will only result in a change in presentation of the costs on the balance sheet.

 

In November 2015,August 2016, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification2016-15, Statement of Deferred Taxes.Cash Flows (Topic 230). The guidance requires that all deferred tax assetsupdate addresses eight specific cash flow issues and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance,is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This update will be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The guidance becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early2017, including interim periods within the reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The adoptionCompany is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance will only resultthe update on our financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, current U.S. GAAP requires the performance of procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a changebusiness combination. Instead, the amendments under this ASU require the goodwill impairment test to be performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The ASU becomes effective for us on January 1, 2020. The amendments in this ASU will be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Stock Compensation - Scope of Modification Accounting, which provides guidance on which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The ASU requires that an entity account for the effects of a modification unless the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if used), vesting conditions and classification (as equity or liability) of the modified award are all the same as for the original award immediately before the modification. The ASU becomes effective for us on January 1, 2018 and will be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on any awards that are modified once this standard is adopted.

There are various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 8 – Stock Options


The Company had two Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Option Plans that were not terminated as a result of the fiscal 2015 restructuring of the Company and spin-out and have continued as part of the operations as detailed below.




In fiscal 2015, the option pool pertaining to the 2009 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Option Plan (the “2009 Plan”) was adjusted for a 1 for 101 stock split due to the spin-out and restructuring plan, resulting in an authorized option pool of 18,152. Stock options typically vest over a three-year period and have a life of ten years from the date granted. As of December 31, 2016, there were 3,610 shares available for future awards under this plan.


In fiscal 2015, the option pool pertaining to the 2012 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Option Plan (the “2012 Plan”) was adjusted for a 1 for 101 stock split due to the spin-out and restructuring plan, resulting in an authorized options pool of 74,257. Stock options typically vest over a three-year period and have a life of ten years from the date granted. As of December 31, 2016, there were 45,673 shares available for future awards under this plan.


 In addition, there are approximately 24,753 in options outstanding that were issued to a former CEO of spin-out Company in fiscal 2014. These options issued are outside of the 2009 and 2012 Plans. 


On June 1, 2016 Jim Driscoll was granted for his position as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Company options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock outside of the Company’s 2009 and 2012 stock option plans (the “Option Agreement”). These options covered 250,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.00 per share to be granted immediately and three additional tranches of 250,000 shares each at an exercise price of $1.50, $2.00 and $2.50 per share, respectively. The remaining three tranches will vest equally over the next three years with the first fully vesting on May 31, 2017 through May 31, 2019. The term of the options will be for a period of five years and may be exercised at any time as to the vested shares. These options were fully cancelled in conjunction with his resignation as of September 27, 2016.


During the fiscal yeartwelve months ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded stock compensation expense related to the options granted to Mr. Driscoll of $314,680. The grant-date fair value of options was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted for Mr. Driscoll was a range of $1.35-$1.76 and was determined using the following assumptions: expected price volatility is 80.39%, risk-free interest rate of 1.39%, zero expected dividend yield, and 4.0 years expected life of options. The expected term of options granted is based on the simplified method in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 107, and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company makes assumptions with respect to expected stock price volatility based on the average historical volatility of peers with similar attributes. In addition, the Company determines the risk free rate by selecting the U.S. Treasury with maturities similar to the expected terms of grants, quoted on an investment basis in effect at the time of grant for that business day. As a result of the cancellation of these warrants, the Company has recovered $314,680 as resulted of the elimination of this reserve.2018.

Note 108 – Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under standards issued by the FASB. Under those standards, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax benefits or consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized through future operations.



No provision for federal income taxes has been recorded due to the available net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $1,351,095$2,769,250 will expire in various years through 2033.2035. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the future tax loss carry forwards.

 

The actual income tax provisions differ from the expected amounts calculated by applying the statutory income tax rate to the Company'sCompany’s loss before income taxes.  The components of these differences are as follows at December 31, 20162018 and December 31, 2015:2017:

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Board has determined these were deemed to not effective and has undertaken to address the shortcomings by:


a.

adding additional and more qualified staffstaff;

b.

asking for specific direction from the company’s accountants and auditorsauditors;

c.

reviewing structure and procedures implemented by similarly situated publicly held companiescompanies; and

d.

changes in process prior to any further acquisition or financing activityactivity.


Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting


Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013 Framework). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the interim or annual financial statements. 


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. 


The Company’s management notes that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2016.2018. 




A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. 


The material weaknesses identified during our annual audit for 20162018 were (i) lack of segregation of duties, (ii) lack of sufficient resources with SEC, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), especially with regards to equity based transactions and tax accounting expertise; and (iii) inadequate security over information technology.technology, and (iv) lack of formal Control procedures related to the approval of related party transactions.  Accordingly, management has determined that these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses. 


Because of these material weaknesses, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016.2018. This report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal controls over financial reporting. The disclosure contained under this Item 9A was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only the disclosure under this Item 8A in this annual report. 


We believe that the material weaknesses as reported will eventually be fully remediated, upon being properly capitalized to hire the proper personnel for segregation of duties and SEC and GAAP accounting knowledge. 


Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures


The Company’s management has identified what it believes are material weaknesses in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. The deficiencies in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures resulted in failures to timely file periodic reports within the time periods specified in the SEC'sSEC’s rules and forms.


The deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures included (i) lack of segregation of duties and (ii) lack of sufficient resources to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits to the SEC are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC'sSEC’s rules and forms. forms, and  (iii) lack of formal Control procedures related to the approval of related party transactions.


The Company intends to take corrective action to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company pursuant to the reports that the Company files or submits to the SEC is accumulated and communicated to the Company'sCompany’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

NOTES:


1)James Driscoll received 200,000 restricted common sharesBeneficial ownership is determined in exchange foraccordance with the dismissal of his employment agreement and the cancelationrules of the 1,000,000SEC, and includes general voting power and/or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options or warrants that were issuedare currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the record date, and shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of other securities currently convertible or convertible within 60 days, are deemed outstanding for computing the beneficial ownership percentage of the person holding such securities but are not deemed outstanding for computing the beneficial ownership percentage of any other person. Under the applicable SEC rules, each person’s beneficial ownership is calculated by dividing the total number of shares with respect to him atwhich they possess beneficial ownership by the timetotal number of his employment agreement.


2) Stephen Keaveney agreed to cancel 2,150,000outstanding shares.  In any case where an individual has beneficial ownership over securities that are not outstanding, but are issuable upon the exercise of his previously issuedoptions or warrants or similar rights within the next 60 days, that same number of shares and transfer 1,000,000 of his previously issued sharesis added to the former executivedenominator in the calculation described above. Because the calculation of P3each person’s beneficial ownership set forth in a private transaction. As a result, he has 338,900 shares of his original issuance remaining as of this date. Asthe “Percentage Class” column of the date of this filing,table may include shares that are not presently outstanding, the cancellation and transfer had not yet taken place through the transfer agent, though the transaction appears to be in process.


3) On April 29, 2016, in consideration for the transaction, Casey Gaetano received 340,000 restricted common shares the Company.  Mr. Gaetano also received 125,000 shares from an employment agreement between the Company and Casey Gaetano. Further, the Company has been made aware of a transaction between Stephen Keaventy and Casey Gaetano, where Keaveney has transferred to Gaetano 1 million shares of his restricted common stock. This transaction would put Gaetano, and his family, to nearly 1.5 million shares of restricted common stock. As a result, the “Gaetano Group” will be an affiliate and has agreed to follow all officer and affiliate reporting requirements, including selling restrictions under Rule 144sum total of the Securities Act.percentages set forth in such column may exceed 100%.  Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each of the following persons is 1355 Peachtree Street, Suite 1150, Atlanta, Georgia, 30309, and, based upon information available or furnished to us, each such person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite his, her or its name.




Equity Compensation Plan Information


We have not established formal equity compensation arrangements for our directors. Compensation payable to each individual for his or her service on our board of directors is determined from time to time by our board of directors based upon the amount of time expended and other contributions by each of the directors on our behalf.

 

ITEM 13.   CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE


Director Independence


 While weWe do not have securities listed on a national securities exchange or in an inter-dealer quotation system, we intend to pursue such a listing as soon as we are able to qualify, hopefully during fiscal year 2017.system.  As such, there is no requirement that a majority of the members of our Board of Directors be independent. In anticipation of the move to NASDAQ or NYSE MKT, or similarly trading situation, we have chosen to put into place, at least for the near term, a fully independent board. Therefore, the Board of Directors, in the exercise of reasonable business judgment, determined that a majority of the Company’s directors should qualify as independent directors pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, and the independence standards of the listing requirements of The NASDAQ Stock Market. Under these standards, a director is not “independent” if he or she has certain specified relationships with the Company or any other relationships that, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, would interfere with his or her exercise of independent judgment as a director.

 

In particular, and subject to some exceptions, the NASDAQ rules generally provide that a director will not be independent if:

the director is, or in the past three years has been, employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

the director has an immediate family member who is, or in the past three years has been, an executive officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

the director, or a member of the directors immediate family, has received payments from the Company of more than $120,000 during any period of twelve consecutive months within the past three years other than for service as a director;

the director, or a member of the directors immediate family, is a current partner of our independent auditors, or is, or in the past three years, has been, employed by our independent auditors in a professional capacity and worked on the Companys audit;

the director, or member of the directors immediate family, is, or in the past three years has been, employed as an executive officer of a Company where the Companys executive officer serves on the compensation committee; or

the director, or a member of the directors immediate family, is a partner in, or a controlling stockholder or an executive officer of, an entity that makes payments to or receive payments from the Company in an amount which, in any fiscal year during the past three years, exceeds the greater of $200,000 or 5% of the other entity’s consolidated gross revenues.

 

Based on its review of the foregoing standards, the Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that our independent directors are Mack Leath, Amy Lance, Jordan Balencic, and James Czirr.
