Emerging Growth Company
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”).
Item 1. Business
Overview
American Doctors Online, Inc. (“ADOL”) a Delaware corporation, formed in 1999, owns four U.S. patents and has three pending patent applications. These patents are the foundation of ADOL’s current business and future licensing offerings and are expected to generate the majority of the Company’s revenues in licensing fees and royalties. Management believes that the depth of the Company’s intellectual property includes the fundamental methodologies inherent to providing video conferencing for the delivery of telehealth/telemedicine services. For example, the initial patent covers a method for delivering medical examination, diagnosis, and treatment services to a patient over a network using a medical call center and audio-visual technologies with any plurality of healthcare practitioners' terminals and patient terminals as a way to bring patients face-to-face with physicians to provide medical consultation.
ADOL has executed a Management Services and License Agreement (“MSLA”) with PhoneDOCTORx, LLC, (“PDRx”). PDRx, a Massachusetts limited liability company, founded in 1999, that is owned by five physicians, who collectively own over 70% of ADOL. Based on the common control and ownership between ADOL and PDRx, the financial results and disclosures contained herein consolidate PDRx and ADOL. ADOL exerts no influence on, or has any involvement in the practice of medicine completed by PDRx’s clinical staff. Pursuant to the terms of the MSLA, PDRx has the right to use and sublicense the intellectual property of ADOL. PDRx currently has Personal Service Agreements with Extended Care Facilities (“ECF’s”) to provide to 13 facilities, remote covering physician consultations via audio and/or video conferencing technologies. The Company provides ECFs nurses, patients and their families’ confidential, real-time access to Board Certified physicians (the “PDRx Providers”) in non-urgent, urgent and emergent care settings through a medical call center, resulting in reduction of unnecessary and avoidable transfers and readmissions to the Emergency Department. PDRx pays the Company for the use of the license via a monthly management fee. The management fee is equal to the monthly receipts PDRx receives less the direct PDRx Provider costs, insurance, reasonable accounting, legal and other professional service fees. In exchange for the management fee, ADOL provides PDRx with support for PDRx’s administration, management, finance, human relations, information technology, and sales and marketing functions. A license and management services contract with PDRx has been in place since 2001. The current agreement went effective on September 17, 2011 and has a thirty year term.
The original PDRx concept utilized the initial patented videoconferencing claims in Retail Pharmacies to provide timely and appropriate medical care to patients who had simple, day-to-day medical needs (e.g., poison ivy). During this phase, PDRx safely helped many patients avoid a trip to the Emergency Department. In 2005, the focus of PDRx changed to address the challenges faced by ECF’s and overburdened community physicians to provide timely care to their patients. Management concluded that helping ECF’s solve these issues would better employ the clinical resources of PDRx. As this new concept was being refined, the management team realized that the solution would yield a multiple win for ECF’s, their patients, their nursing staffs, their primary care and covering physicians, already overcrowded Emergency Departments, and the Healthcare System which would save significant costs from preventing unnecessary transfers and hospital admissions.
Between 2006 and June 30, 2014, PDRx had over 42,000 clinical telemedicine encounters utilizing ADOL’s patented processes. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 PDRx generated $385,470 and $263,349, respectively, in revenue utilizing the telemedicine technology generated from ADOL’s patented process.
ADOL believes PDRx is a blueprint for other physician based companies and groups throughout the U.S who could also exploit the ADOL patents through licensure. PDRx has proven the value of utilizing telemedicine for non-urgent, urgent and emergent care. Additionally, there is as a myriad of other types of business models that can provide telemedicine videoconferencing services that would benefit from the licensing of one or more of ADOL’s patents.
ADOL’s business model is to license to telehealth/telemedicine providers one or more of the patents in our patent portfolio, pursuant to non-exclusive agreements, with terms and conditions similar to other licensing agreements involving medical IP. Management believes that the depth of the Company’s intellectual property includes the fundamental methodologies inherent to providing video conferencing for the delivery of telehealth/telemedicine services. Accordingly, ADOL believes it is well positioned to license the patent portfolio to various type entities operating within the healthcare system. ADOL has not yet licensed its patents to customers other than PDRx.

Telehealth / Telemedicine Industry
As formally defined by the American Telemedicine Association (“ATA”), telemedicine is the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve a patient’s clinical health status. Telemedicine includes a growing variety of applications and services using two-way video, email, smart phones, wireless tools and other forms of telecommunications technology. Starting out over forty years ago with demonstrations of hospitals extending care to patients in remote areas, the use of telemedicine has spread rapidly and is now becoming integrated into the ongoing operations of hospitals, specialty departments, home health agencies, private physician offices as well as consumer’s homes and workplaces.
Telemedicine is not a separate medical specialty. Products and services related to telemedicine are often part of a larger investment by health care institutions in either information technology or in the delivery of virtual clinical care. ATA has historically considered telemedicine and telehealth to be interchangeable terms, encompassing a wide definition of remote healthcare. Patient consultations via video conferencing, transmission of still images, e-health including patient portals, remote monitoring of vital signs, continuing medical education, consumer-focused wireless applications and nursing call centers, among other applications, are all considered part of telemedicine and telehealth.
Telemedicine uses audio and video conferencing technologies and the combination of all other forms of electronic communication tools so that a doctor at one site can treat patients at a different site. The combined use of audio and video conferencing allows the patient and doctor to see and talk to each other as in live television broadcast. Tools used by clinicians to observe and collect vital information, such as otoscope and stethoscopes, have been adapted so the clinician can deploy them on the patient as if they were in the same room.
While the term telehealth is sometimes used to refer to a broader definition of remote healthcare that does not always involve clinical services, ATA uses the terms in the same way one would refer to medicine or health in the common vernacular. Telemedicine is closely allied with the term health information technology (“”HIT”). However, HIT more commonly refers to electronic medical records and related information systems while telemedicine refers to the actual delivery of remote clinical services using technology.
Telehealth is the delivery of healthcare services and information via telecommunication technologies. Telehealth can deliver preventative, educational, and curative services. Telemedicine focuses on the curative aspects of telehealth and uses telecommunication and information technologies to provide and support clinical services at a distance. Because telehealth is immediately available, immensely flexible, and free of geographic barriers it has become an efficient and effective methodology/process to deliver health services that overcome the existing problems of provider supply and patient access.
Telehealth, including home monitoring devices and thousands of health care applications for personal computers, smartphones, and other platforms, has claimed a significant place in the healthcare industry. Telehealth applications can address specific conditions; they can be proactive or preventative, informative or supportive.
There has been a global focus on the use of telemedicine as a tool to cut down healthcare costs. Implementation of the new U.S. healthcare law will, if anything, intensify this focus, by increasing the number of people with health insurance and those seeking medical services. In the near to mid-term, telemedicine technologies offer one of the few ways of enabling healthcare personnel to meet the increased demand without unacceptable delays.
Telehealth/Telemedicine Market
BCC Research, LLC (“BCC”), is a leading information resource producing high-quality market research reports, newsletters, and conferences. BCC’s information products explore major market, economic, scientific,and technological developments for business leaders in industrial, pharmaceutical, and high technology organizations. Industry analysis and market forecasts for advanced materials, high-tech systems and components, nanotechnology and novel processing methods are at the forefront of the company’s expertise. For more than 35 years, BCC’s market analysis has provided businesses with the insight needed to make intelligent and strategic business decisions. BCC Research is a unit of Eli Research, which is based in Durham, N.C. As a leading market research company covering changes driven by science and technology, they define telemedicine as the use of telecommunications technology to deliver medical information or services to patients or other users at a distance from the provider.
Telemedicine offers a network and framework for e-healthcare wherein patients and healthcare service providers are on a common delivery platform for healthcare services. In simple words, telemedicine covers all healthcare services being delivered remotely with the help of telecom technologies.
According to BCC’s research, the most important factor contributing to the adoption of telemedicine among patients is improved clinical outcome. Patients also prefer the convenience of telemedicine as opposed to spending time on doctor’s appointments or hospital admissions, if avoidable. Although cost reduction is an important factor, it was not ranked as the most important reason contributing to the adoption of telemedicine among patients. Telemedicine also acts as an important interface between urban and rural healthcare.
Telehome and Telehospital/Clinic Segments
In their October 2013 update to their March 2012 report, BCC has divided the total U.S. telemedicine market of $6.7 billion into two major segments: telehome and telehospitals/clinics.
The BCC reports also found that in 2012, the U.S. telehospital/clinics segment accounted for $4.2 billion and is expected to approach $9.2 billion by 2018, with a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 13.7%. The U.S. telehome segment accounted for over $2.4 billion in 2012 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 23.4% to exceed $8.6 billion by 2018.
BCC further divides the telemedicine market into technology and service segments. The telemedicine service market is comprised of store-and-forward and videoconferencing. Videoconferencing allows face-to-face encounters between people in different locations in real time. Tandberg (now part of Cisco) and Polycom, Inc. are the main U.S. players offering videoconferencing. Store-and-forward telemedicine is used to transmit clinical signals and images for pathological and radiological purposes to other locations for diagnosis. The fields of dermatology, pathology, radiology, neurology and ophthalmology are mainly dependent upon static reports or images, and they may not require live interaction with patients. Psychology, psychiatry, surgery, cardiology, emergency and triage applications, however, require real-time, two-way, audio-video communication.
Management believes the strength of the Company’s patent claims pertain to videoconferencing, therefore, the following discussion relates only to the videoconferencing segment within the U.S. telemedicine services market. BCC reports that videoconferencing within the U.S. telehospital/clinics segment accounted for approximately $1.4 billion of the total telemedicine market in 2012, and it is expected to grow from 2012 to 2018 at a CAGR of 15% to reach $3.3 billion by 2018. BCC estimates that the videoconferencing within the U.S. telehome segment accounted for $436 million in 2012, and is expected to grow to 2018 at a CAGR of 25.4% to reach approximately $1.7 billion by 2018. Accordingly, the total U.S. videoconferencing telemedicine market in 2012 was approximately $1.8 billion and is expected to be $5.0 billion in 2018.
Technology
Unlike today, the telecom infrastructure in the past was not robust enough to support telemedicine. Recently, networking technology has improved considerably, delivering high-quality audio, video, images with improved bandwidth, reduced latency, higher reliability, redundancy and vast reach to the masses. Wireless technology has grown with wearable, wireless, mobile and satellite devices. Internet protocol (IP)-based technology, along with the availability of high-speed networks, is making the technology fully interoperable and computer-based. Network companies are actively working to make information storage and transmission safe and secure. Telemedicine has received a significant boost with the improved technology.

Marketing and Sales
Our Strategy
Our strategy is to become a market leader in delivery of telehealth/telemedicine via video conferencing. The key elements of our growth strategy include:
• | Implement a patent and technology licensing program to commercialize our intellectual property. |
• | Establish American Doctors Online, Inc. as a dominant US source of providing telemedicine services via video teleconferencing pursuant to our patents, through licensing to other telemedicine companies, hardware and software companies and telecom companies. |
• | Leverage our patent portfolio, technology and software to develop additional patents that can be licensed directly to our then current customers and to attract new customers. |
The Company plans to employ a leveraged, partner-oriented, marketing strategy for our patent and technology licensing program. The marketing strategy for our patent and technology licensing program will initially be focused on Original Equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and service providers. In furtherance of our strategy, in June 2013, we engaged ipCapital Group (“ipCG”) to help us support and grow our licensing business. Led by John Cronin, ipCG is a leading advisor on licensing technology and intellectual property. Prior to founding ipCG, Mr. Cronin was a distinguished inventor at IBM for 17 years where he patented 100 inventions, published over 150 technical papers, received IBM’s “Most Distinguished Inventor Award,” and was recognized as IBM’s “Top Inventor.”
IpCG has delivered over 700 IP engagements to companies in a wide range of industries including over 10% of the Fortune 500. Their professional services maximize financial results for clients that seek to develop and execute intellectual property (IP) strategies, strengthen and monetize IP portfolios, and establish and implement Intellectual Asset Management (IAM) practices. They have an interdisciplinary team trained in business, IP rules/regulations, marketing, and product development that provides a systematic and comprehensive view of the full lifecycle of IP, from creation to monetization to retirement. Since its founding in 1998, ipCG has supported the licensing efforts of clients across a variety of technologies and markets.
Additionally, ipCG was engaged to provide strategic intellectual property (“IP”) support to the Company. Utilizing a three phase approach, ipCG assisted the Company in the following matters:
• | Phase 1: Systematically Invent-Around Selected Filings – ipNavigationSM process |
• | Phase 2: Define and Analyze ADOL’s IP Landscape (ipLandscape® and ipAnalytics® Process) |
• | Phase 3: Estimate the value range of ADOL’s portfolio (ipValue ModelSM) |
In Phase 1, ipCG using its proprietary ipNavigationSM methodology on ADOL patent filings identified specific ways in which the IP could be strengthened to enhance its value, mitigate risk of competitive invent-around, and provide a technology path in which the Company can further protect its inventions. Management believes this phase will ultimately result in increasing the strength and value of the Company’s IP by building a more robust and strategic portfolio and mitigating risks from competitor filings.
The Phase 2 analysis provided a framework to map our existing IP portfolio, search and analyze relevant competitive IP, and provide data-driven strategic observations. This resulted in establishing the critical input needed for developing the Company’s IP strategy for the future and communicating such with investors.
The Phase 3 analysis included a detailed IP valuation, wherein ipCG utilizing the BCC market study and the average of an Industry Income Approach and Royalty Approach based model, resulting in an average five year and ten year valuation of $14.9 million and $72.4, respectively.
On April 15, 2014, the Company entered into a three month Consulting Agreement with a consultant (the “Consultant”) to assist the Company regarding the formation of strategic relationships with existing and new identified technology companies. Additionally, the Consultant will work with the executive management team in developing market strategies and comprehensive video conferencing technology solution offerings including the bundling of these technologies, working with ADOL’s partner on developing licensing packages, creating new sales proposal formats for consultation services and technologies/products, and assisting with the development and placement of products and services. The Company will compensate the Consultant $100 per hour, for a minimum of 40 hours per week, for these services, which may be paid, at the option of the Company, in the form of cash or equity consideration. The parties extended the Agreement through July 31, 2014, at which time the Agreement was terminated.

Additionally, management plans to leverage the Company’s relationship with Premier Purchasing Partners, L.P. (“PPP”). Effective June 1, 2013, for a period of thirty five (35) months, ADOL entered into a Group Purchasing Agreement - Software License/Application Service Providers contract with PPP to deliver telehealth and telemedicine services. PPP is an affiliate of Premier, Inc. (“Premier”) an alliance of hospitals and alternative sites of care that is focused on using technology to facilitate the delivery of high-quality, cost-effective care. Under this contract PPP will offer ADOL’s telehealth / telemedicine bundles for delivery nationally to Premier’s member facilities and shall be compensated based on a percentage of our products or services purchased or licensed by Premier’s member facilities..
Once the Company begins generating additional licensing revenue, management intends to build a sales force that will be responsible for managing existing accounts and pursuing licensing and sales opportunities with new customers.
Management’s objective is to be one of the leaders in the services segment of telehealth/telemedicine market
• | Invest in research and development efforts to extend our technology leadership. We plan to build upon our current IP portfolio to enhance our product and licensing capabilities. |
• | Expand our licensing/sales organization to acquire new customers. We intend to continue to invest in our licensing/sales organization as we pursue larger enterprise and government opportunities. |
• | Exploit our channel relationships with Group Purchasing Organizations. Under this contract PPP will offer ADOL’s telehealth / telemedicine bundles for delivery nationally to Premier’s member facilities. |
• | Drive greater penetration into our customer base. Initially, we believe licensees/customers will deploy our platform to provide audio visual telemedicine services between a patient and licensed physician. We see a significant opportunity to upsell and cross sell additional licenses, subscriptions and services as our customers realize the increasing value of our platform. |
Massachusetts (MA) Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) Program
In 2013, the Company was invited to be part of a national sexual assault telemedicine examination project demonstration program developed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (“MDPH”). Telemedicine can improve the health status of patients and sexual assault survivors by exchanging medical information from one site to another via electronic communications using voice (audio) and face-to-face (video) communication. The MDPH is an agency of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts which serves the people of the Commonwealth, particularly the underserved and promotes healthy people, healthy families and healthy communities and operates the MA SANE Program. The MA SANE Program is a state funded program to provide expert care to patients of sexual assault in 27 designated hospitals and Child Advocacy Centers. SANEs are specially trained and certified professional nurses skilled in performing quality forensic medical-legal exams. For the past 15 years, the Massachusetts SANE Program has provided expert forensic nursing care to over 14,000 survivors of sexual assault. When applied to the SANE practice, telemedicine has the potential to create a national community of support and increase their confidence, role satisfaction and provider retention. Other participants in the national sexual assault examination telemedicine program include:
• | The Office for Victims of Crime (“OVC”). The mission of the OVC, a component of the U.S. Department of Justice, is to enhance the Nation's capacity to assist crime victims and to provide leadership in changing attitudes, policies, and practices in ways that will promote justice and healing for all victims. OVC is charged by Congress with administering the Crime Victims Fund, a major source of funding for victim services throughout the Nation. |
• | The National Institute of Justice (“NIJ”). The NIJ is the research, development and evaluation agency of the U.S. Department of Justice and is dedicated to improving knowledge and understanding of crime and justice issues through science. NIJ provides objective and independent knowledge and tools to reduce crime and promote justice, particularly at the state and local levels. |
• | The Office on Violence Against Women (“OVW”). The mission of the OFW, a component of the U.S. Department of Justice, is to provide federal leadership in developing the nation’s capacity to reduce violence against women and administer justice for and strengthen services to victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. |
Adult and adolescent sexual assault (SA) patients/survivors have unique medical, emotional and forensic needs which require a trauma-informed approach to care. Such an approach assures survivors will be supported while making informed decisions regarding their post-assault medical care and involvement in the criminal justice system. SANE Programs have been shown to improve the quality of healthcare for patients/survivors, increase the quality of forensic evidence collection, support police investigations, and increase the successful prosecution of such cases (Campbell, Bybee, Kelley, Dworkin, & Patterson, 2012; Campbell, Patterson, & Bybee, 2009; Crandall & Helitzer, 2003; Campbell, Patterson, & Lichty, 2005).
To address the lack of access to expert care and forensic evidence collection involving sexual assault incidences for adults and adolescents, the MDPH has recently been awarded a grant by the OVC, in collaboration with NIJ and the OVW. The purpose of the grant is to establish a National Sexual Assault TeleNursing Center that will use telemedicine technology to provide 24/7, 365 day remote expert consultation by MA SANEs to clinicians caring for adult and adolescent sexual assault patients in remote and/or underserved regions of the United States.
Pursuant to the grant, the above organizations entertained proposals from various organizations to provide the required telemedicine technology and consultation expertise on establishing a telemedicine service. Based on our proposal, including the use of our intellectual property, the Company was chosen as the telemedicine advisor/consultant, technology provider and has subsequently entered into contracts with MDPH.
The Company’s telemedicine equipment has been installed at the TeleNursing Center hub and telemedicine carts have been provided to each pilot site. MA SANEs will use this equipment to provide 24/7, 365 day voice and face-to-face guidance and support whenever pilot site clinicians encounter sexual assault patients and initiate calls to the TeleNursing Center. It is anticipated that the use of telemedicine as a vehicle to access SANE expertise will provide a trauma-informed patient experience, promote healing and enhance the adjudication of cases.
A total of four to five national sites will partner with the TeleNursing Center for this demonstration project. The National TeleNursing Center HUB is located at Newton Wellesley Hospital Newton, Massachusetts. Newton-Wellesley Hospital is a comprehensive medical center that provides the services and expertise of a major medical facility with the convenience and personal attention of a community hospital. The Hospital is committed to delivering high-quality, safe and efficient medical care to each and every patient.
The first tribal partner for the TeleNursing demonstration project is the Hopi Health Care Center (HHCC) in Polacca, Arizona. Where the Company has performed the network assessment and started working on technology placement/selection. Additional pilot sites representing either the military, rural hospitals or correctional facilities will be solicited for participation in 2014.

Customers
In addition to current revenue pursuant to PDRx’s sub-licensing of the Company’s patents to ECF’s and SNF’s, management plans on commercializing the Company’s patented technology as discussed above under Marketing and Sales. The Company intends to license the patents and technology within the telemedicine markets to original equipment manufacturers (“OEM’s”), technology and software companies, to telecom network providers, telemedicine providers, healthcare companies and health insurance companies.
Currently a few customers account for a substantial portion of our revenues. Our largest customer, Senior Whole Health (“SWH”), a senior care organization, accounted for approximately 39% and 37% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Revenues from SWH are calculated at $2 per patient per day for any patient that is a member of SWH and in an ECF under contract with the Company. The current agreement with SWH was executed on March 9, 2009 with a one year term, with automatic one year renewals, unless either party gives the other party, written notice ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then current term. The agreement can also be terminated upon an Event of Termination, including:
By either party, without cause, upon sixty (60) days written notice.
By SWH, immediately upon written notice to the Company in the event of: (a) The Company’s failure to meet the provisions of the Agreement, including reporting and disclosure requirements; (b) allegations of fraud or misrepresentation on the part of the Company, (c) Company’s loss of Medicare or Medicaid qualification, (d) imposition of sanctions by the Office of the Inspector General or any State or federal agency against the Company and (e) SWH’s termination of its contract with CMS and MassHealth.
By SWH, with respect to any PCP or SCP of Group in the event of; (a) PCP’s or SCP’s loss, limitation, or suspension of any PCP's or SCP’s license, hospital privileges or medical staff membership, (b) serious disciplinary action by the Board of Registration in Medicine against PCP or SCP, (c) issuance of an adverse report by the National Practitioner Data Bank against PCP or SCP, or (d) failure to meet SWH’s credentialing or re-credentialing requirements.
By SWH or the Company, for cause, if the other party fails to comply with any material term of the agreement (except for the terms in section 6.2.2 or 6.2.3) upon sixty (60) days written notice to the other party, however this termination notice shall not take effect if the breach is cured within the notice period to the satisfaction of the non-breaching party.
By Company, immediately, upon written notice to SWH in the event: (a) SWH no longer qualifies for reimbursement or participation in either the Medicare or Medicaid programs or (b) SWH terminates its contract with CMS or MassHealth.
, or (d) failure to meet SWH’s credentialing or re-credentialing requirements.
By SWH or the Company, for cause, if the other party fails to comply with any material term of the agreement (except for the terms in section 6.2.2 or 6.2.3) upon sixty (60) days written notice to the other party, however this termination notice shall not take effect if the breach is cured within the notice period to the satisfaction of the non-breaching party.
By Company, immediately, upon written notice to SWH in the event: (a) SWH no longer qualifies for reimbursement or participation in either the Medicare or Medicaid programs or (b) SWH terminates its contract with CMS or MassHealth. See exhibits 10.23 through 10.25 filed with Amendment No. 1 to Form 10.
Royal Health Group, LLC (“RHG”) accounted for approximately 21% and 27% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. On January 27, 2012, the Company entered into a Personal Services Agreement with RHG (see exhibit 10.26 filed herein). RHG operates 6 skilled nursing facilities and one assisted living center in Massachusetts. The agreement is for a one year term and automatically renews for successive one year terms unless terminated by one of the parties as stated in the agreement. In exchange for providing telemedicine services to RGH, RGH will pay PDR a monthly access fee of $1,000 for each participating facility for connectivity, access to the aforementioned patent-protected telemedicine coverage program, and availability of a PDR covering clinician. RHG will also remit a per call charge of $40 for each and every urgent and emergent call each calendar month. Said monthly "per-call total charge of urgent and emergent calls shall be capped at $2,000 per facility participating from RHG within the PDR telemedicine program, for clinical services rendered to RHG's urgent and emergent patients. All urgent and emergent calls exceeding the cap of $2,000 (25 Urgent/Emergent Calls) will be provided at no-charge (including admissions which are treated as urgent). PDR services are discounted from their standard rates with the intention to work with all 6 skilled nursing facilities and the assisted living facility of the RHG.
Because of our significant customer concentration, our revenue could fluctuate significantly due to the loss of, reduction of business with, or less favorable terms with any of our significant customers and could materially harm our business and results of operations.
Competition
ADOL’s market competition falls into 3 main categories: patents/licensure, clinical services, and consulting/technology – “Integrators.” Management believes the largest patent holders/filers in the US for telehealth and telemedicine as of 2013 include:
• | Robert Bosch 62 patent filings |
• | Medtronic 61 patent filings |
• | Philips 43 patent filings |
• | Boston Scientific 36 patent filings |
American Well, Teladoc, and MDLIVE are three of the largest national telemedicine service providers. The following information was reported on their respective websites:
• | American Well provides a turnkey telehealth product for its clients, by building its own doctors’ network including 50 doctors on staff, and another 1300 nationwide who are available on a per-call basis. They offer a telemedicine application and service model for its clientele at $49 a call/video encounter. |

• | GlobalMed a privately held telemedicine company, is a leader in Telehealth hardware and software research&development, design, engineering, manufacture and support. |
Government Regulation
A substantial portion of the Company’s revenue comes from healthcare customers. The Company handles or has access to personal health information subject in the United States to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) and related regulations. These statutes and related regulations impose numerous requirements regarding the use and disclosure of personal health information with which we must comply.
Information Systems: The Company’s information systems, to the extent such systems hold or transmit patient medical information, operate in compliance with state and federal laws and regulations relating to the privacy and security of patient medical information, including HIPAA. While the Company has endeavored to establish its information systems to be compliant with such laws, including HIPAA, such laws are complex and subject to interpretation.
Privacy and Security of Health Information and Personal Information; Standard Transactions: The Company may be engaged by a healthcare practice or facility that is considered a Covered Entity under the terms of HIPAA. In providing and performing administration and support services for such Covered Entities (i.e. physician practices), medical chart review, healthcare facility call and message management, healthcare emergency dispatch and physician practice administration, the company may come in contact with a Covered Entity’s confidential patient medical information. Under such an engagement, the Covered Entity may make available and/or transfer to the Company certain Protected Health Information, as that term is defined and certain Electronic Protected Health Information ("EPHI") as that term is defined, in connection with goods or services that are being provided by the Company to the Covered Entity, that is confidential and subject to protection under HIPAA, HIPAA regulations and the HITECH Act. As such, the Company would be considered a Business Associate of the Covered Entity and further be subject to state and federal laws and implementing regulations relating to the privacy and security of the medical information of the patients the Company’s client physician practices and facilities treat. The Company, as a “Business Associate”, is subject to state and federal laws and implementing regulations relating to the privacy and security of the medical information of the patients its client physicians treat. The principal federal legislation is part of HIPAA, pursuant to which, the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, or “HHS”, has issued final regulations designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the healthcare system by facilitating the electronic exchange of information in certain financial and administrative transactions, while protecting the privacy and security of the patient information exchanged. These regulations also confer certain rights on patients regarding their access to and control of their medical records in the hands of healthcare providers.
Four principal regulations have been issued in final form: privacy regulations, security regulations, standards for electronic transactions, and the National Provider Identifier regulations. The HIPAA privacy regulations, which fully came into effect in April 2003, establish comprehensive federal standards with respect to the uses and disclosures of an individual’s personal health information, referred to in the privacy regulations as “protected health information,” by health plans, healthcare providers, and healthcare clearinghouses. The Company is a Business Associate within the meaning of HIPAA. HIPAA requires health care providers to enter into Business Associate contracts with certain businesses to which they disclose patient health information. These Business Associate contracts generally require the recipients of such information to use appropriate safeguards to protect the patient health information they receive. The regulations establish a complex regulatory framework on a variety of subjects, including:
• | Provide that the company obtain and use confidential patient health information obtained from its clients only as necessary to perform customer service and support functions; |
• | Limit access to such information to those employees and agents who perform identified service and support functions; |
• | Prohibit disclosure of patient health information received from clients to persons who are not employees or agents of the company in the absence of express approval from legal counsel and, if appropriate, the client and/or patient; |
• | Require all employees and agents of the company to report uses and disclosures of patient information that are not permitted by the company’s Privacy and Security Policy; |
• | Provide that the company investigate all reports that patient health information was used in a manner not permitted by its Privacy and Security Policy and will impose appropriate sanctions for conduct prohibited by the policy as required and/or permitted by law; |
• | Establish and ensure that the company’s employees and agents who may come in contact with patient health information receive training regarding the company’s Privacy and Security Policy and the importance of protecting the privacy and security of patient health information; |
• | Provide for the storage and transmission of patient health information received from clients in a secure manner that protects the integrity, confidentiality and availability of the information; and |
• | Establish that the company’s employees, contractors and agents who may come in contact with patient health information maintain any and all protected health information obtained through operating their respective businesses confidential, and agree and acknowledge that such information is subject to protection under HIPAA, the HIPAA regulations and the HITECH Act and will conduct their businesses according to such. |
7 |
The federal privacy regulations, among other things, restricts the Company’s ability to use or disclose protected health information in the form of patient-identifiable data, without written patient authorization, for purposes other than payment, physician treatment, or healthcare operations (as defined by HIPAA) except for disclosures for various public policy purposes and other permitted purposes outlined in the privacy regulations. The privacy regulations provide for significant fines and other penalties for wrongful use or disclosure of protected health information, including potential civil and criminal fines and penalties. Although the HIPAA statute and regulations do not expressly provide for a private right of damages, the Company could incur damages under state laws to private parties for the wrongful use or disclosure of confidential health information or other private personal information.
The Company has implemented policies and practices that it believes brings it into compliance with the privacy regulations. However, the documentation and process requirements of the privacy regulations are complex and subject to interpretation. Failure to comply with the privacy regulations could subject the Company to sanctions or penalties, loss of business, and negative publicity.
The HIPAA privacy regulations establish a “floor” of minimum protection for patients as to their medical information and do not supersede state laws that are more stringent. Therefore, the Company is required to comply with both HIPAA privacy regulations and various state privacy laws. The failure to do so could subject the Company to regulatory actions, including significant fines or penalties, and to private actions by patients, as well as to adverse publicity and possible loss of business. In addition, federal and state laws and judicial decisions provide individuals with various rights for violation of the privacy of their medical information by healthcare providers.
The final HIPAA security regulations, which establish detailed requirements for physical, administrative, and technical measures for safeguarding protected health information in electronic form, became effective on April 21, 2005. The Company has employed what it considers to be a reasonable and appropriate level of physical, administrative and technical safeguards for patient information. Failure to comply with the security regulations could subject the Company to sanctions or penalties and negative publicity.
The final HIPAA regulations for electronic transactions, referred to as the transaction standards, establish uniform standards for certain specific electronic transactions and code sets and mandatory requirements as to data form and data content to be used in connection with common electronic transactions, such as billing claims, remittance advices, enrollment, and eligibility.
The HIPAA regulations on adoption of national provider identifiers, or NPI, required healthcare providers to adopt new, unique identifiers for reporting on claims transactions submitted after May 23, 2007. The Company may obtain NPIs for our client physicians so that we may report NPIs to Medicare, Medicaid, and other health plans on their behalf.
The healthcare information of the Company’s client physician’s patients includes social security numbers and other personal information that are not of an exclusively medical nature. The consumer protection laws of a majority of states now require organizations that maintain such personal information to notify each individual if their personal information is accessed by unauthorized persons or organizations, so that the individuals can, among other things, take steps to protect themselves from identity theft. The costs of notification and the adverse publicity can both be significant. Failure to comply with these state consumer protection laws can subject a company to penalties that vary from state to state, but may include significant civil monetary penalties, as well as to private litigation and adverse publicity. California recently enacted legislation that expanded its version of a notification law to cover improper access to medical information generally, and other states may follow suit.
Federal and State Fraud and Abuse Laws: The federal healthcare Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits, among other things, knowingly and willfully offering, paying, soliciting, or receiving remuneration to induce referrals or in return for purchasing, leasing, ordering, or arranging for the purchase, lease, or order of any healthcare item or service reimbursable under a governmental payor program. The definition of “remuneration” has been broadly interpreted to include anything of value, including gifts, discounts, the furnishing of supplies or equipment, credit arrangements, payments of cash, waivers of payments, ownership interests, opportunity to earn income, and providing anything at less than its fair market value. The Anti-Kickback Statute is broad, and it prohibits many arrangements and practices that are lawful in businesses outside of the healthcare industry. Recognizing that the Anti-Kickback Statute is broad and may technically prohibit many innocuous or beneficial arrangements within the healthcare industry, HHS has issued a series of regulatory “safe harbors.” These safe harbor regulations set forth certain provisions that, if met, will provide healthcare providers and other parties with an affirmative defense against prosecution under the federal Anti-Kickback Statute. Although full compliance with these provisions ensures against prosecution under the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, the failure of a transaction or arrangement to fit within a specific safe harbor does not necessarily mean that the transaction or arrangement is illegal or that prosecution under the federal Anti-Kickback Statute will be pursued.
8 |
Corporate Practice of Medicine: The Company’s contractual relationships with licensed healthcare practices and providers are subject to regulatory oversight, mainly by state licensing authorities. In certain states, for example, limitations may apply to the relationship with the provider that the Company intends to engage, particularly in terms of the degree of control that the Company exercises or has the power to exercise over the practice of medicine by those providers. A number of states, including Florida, New York, Texas, and California, have enacted laws prohibiting business corporations, such as the Company, from practicing medicine and employing or engaging physicians to practice medicine. These requirements are generally imposed by state law in the states in which we operate, vary from state to state, and are not always consistent among states. In addition, these requirements are subject to broad powers of interpretation and enforcement by state regulators. Some of these requirements may apply to the Company even if it does not have a physical presence in the state, based solely on the engagement of a healthcare provider licensed in the state or the provision of services to a resident of the state. The Company believes that it operates in material compliance with these requirements. However, failure to comply can lead to action against the Company and the licensed healthcare professionals that the Company engages, fines or penalties, receipt of cease and desist orders from state regulators, loss of healthcare professionals’ licenses or permits, the need to make changes to the terms of engagement of those professionals that interfere with the Company’s business, and other material adverse consequences.
Referrals of a Public Company: A public company is not able to accept referrals from physicians who own, directly or indirectly, shares of its stock unless it complies with the Stark Law exception for publicly traded securities. This requires, among other things, $75 million in stockholders’ equity (total assets minus total liabilities). The parallel safe harbor requires, among other things, $50 million in undepreciated net tangible assets, in order for any distributions to such stockholders to be protected under the Anti-Kickback Statute. We intend to become publicly traded in the future.
Compliance Programs: Compliance with government rules and regulations is a significant concern throughout the industry, in part due to evolving interpretations of these rules and regulations. The Company seeks to conduct its business in compliance with all statutes and regulations applicable to its operations. To this end, the Company has established and continues to establish compliance programs that review for regulatory compliance procedures, policies, and facilities throughout its business.
Company and Other Information
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in April 1999. Our principal executive office is located at 200 Mill Road, Suite 350A, Fairhaven, MA 02719, and our telephone number is (866) 539-7379. Our website address is www.adoltelemed.com. We do not incorporate the information on or accessible through our website into this registration statement, and you should not consider any information on, or that can be accessed through, our website a part of this registration statement.
Employees
We currently have 5 employees (full time/part time), other than our three officers and directors. We intend to hire additional employees as described in our plan of operations if we are able to raise the required funds.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this Registration Statement, including our financial statements and related notes, before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks are realized, in whole or in part, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Corporation
We have incurred losses from operations since inception and continued losses threaten the company’s ability to remain in business and pursue our business plan.
Since inception in 1999 through June 30, 2014, ADOL has incurred cumulative losses of $15,532,846. We anticipate incurring additional losses from operating activities in the near future. Even if ADOL is able to obtain additional equity financing, investors have no assurance we will be able achieve profitability in our operations. Until we achieve break even between revenues and expenses, we will remain dependent on obtaining additional debt and equity funding. In the event ADOL does not become profitable within a reasonable period of time, we may cease operations.
Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We incurred a net loss of $1,182,964 for the six month period ended June 30, 2014 and a net loss of $4,724,950 for the year ending December 31, 2013. Because we are yet to attain profitable operations, in their report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding their substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We will continue to experience net operating losses in the foreseeable future. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate a profit and/or obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities, increasing sales or obtaining loan from various financial institutions where possible. Our continued net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such goals and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful. We anticipate that we will require $180,000 in additional financing in order to continue our operations for the next twelve months. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the management’s assessment of our ability to continue as a going concern.
ADOL has significant customer concentration, such that the loss of either of its key customers would have a significant impact on ADOL’s business and operations and could cause ADOL’s business to fail.
A small number of customers account for a large share of ADOL’s net sales. In 2013, two of ADOL’s customers, Senior Whole Health (“SWH”) and Royal Health Group in the aggregate, accounted for approximately 43% of net sales. The concentration of ADOL’s business with such a small number of customers may expose ADOL to a material adverse effect if one or both of these customers were to significantly reduce their use of ADOL for any reason or favor competitors or new entrants (see Customers).
If ADOL does not obtain additional financing, ADOL’s business will fail.
ADOL anticipates that additional funding will be needed for general administrative expenses and marketing costs. At this time it is our intention to raise the required funds through an equity placement by filing a registration statement, whereby we will register additional shares of our common stock for sale. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to raise the required cash and because of this ADOL’s business may fail. We do not currently generate sufficient revenue from operations to pay all of our monthly expenses.
We do not currently have any arrangements for financing. Obtaining additional funding will be subject to a number of factors, including general market conditions, investor acceptance of our business plan and initial results from our business operations. These factors may impact the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing available to us. The most likely source of future funds available to us is through the sale of additional shares of common stock, debt financing or advances made from stockholders
Our financial condition could be adversely affected if our available liquidity is insufficient.
If our business is significantly adversely affected by deterioration in the economic environment or otherwise, it could lead us to seek new or additional sources of liquidity to fund the company’s needs. Currently, for a non-investment-grade company such as ours, the capital markets are challenging, with limited available financing and at higher costs than in recent years. There can be no guarantee that ADOL would be able to access any new sources of liquidity on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
We have no experience as a public company.
We have never operated as a public company. At the time this registration statement becomes effective we will become subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. ADOL has no experience in complying with the various rules and regulations, which are required of a publicly reporting company. As a result, we may not be able to operate successfully as a publicly reporting company, even if ADOL’s operations are successful.
9 |
We currently have only a small management team and staff, which could limit ADOL’s ability to effectively seize market opportunities and grow our business.
ADOL’s operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in a growing business enterprise, including the likelihood of operating losses. As a smaller company with a limited operating history, ADOL’s success will depend, among other factors, upon how ADOL will manage the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the growth of a business, including but not limited to channels of distribution, and current and future development. In addition, ADOL has only a small management team and staff to grow ADOL’s business and manage the risks inherent in a growing business enterprise. These factors could limit ADOL’s ability to effectively seize market opportunities and grow ADOL’s business.
We will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company. These costs will adversely impact ADOL’s results of operations.
At the time this registration statement becomes effective we will become subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a result of being subject to these reporting requirements, ADOL will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that a private company does not incur. We estimate these costs to be approximately $150,000 annually and include the costs associated with having our financial statements prepared, audited and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) via EDGAR (the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system) and XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) costs.
In addition, when and if we become publicly traded, we have costs associated with our transfer agent. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) and related rules resulted in an increase in costs of maintaining compliance with the public reporting requirements, as well as making it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain directors' and officers' liability insurance. These added costs will delay the time in which we may expect to achieve profitability, if at all.
Our results of operations may vary significantly from period to period, which could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline if and when our common stock trades.
Our results of operations may vary significantly as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control and may be difficult to predict, including:
• | our ability to attract and retain new customers; |
• | the budgeting cycles and purchasing practices of customers; |
• | the timing and length of our sales cycles; |
• | changes in customer or reseller requirements or market needs; |
• | the timing and success of new product and service introductions by us or our competitors or any other change in the competitive landscape of the market, including consolidation among our customers or competitors; |
• | insolvency or credit difficulties confronting our customers, affecting their ability to purchase or pay for our licenses, subscriptions and services; |
• | the cost and potential outcomes of future litigation; |
• | general economic conditions; |
• | future accounting pronouncements or changes in our accounting policies or practices; and |
• | the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures related to the expansion of our business. |
Any of the above factors, individually or in the aggregate, may result in significant fluctuations in our financial and other operating results from period to period. As a result of this variability, our historical results of operations should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. Moreover, this variability and unpredictability could result in our failure to meet our operating plan or the expectations of investors or analysts for any period. There is currently no trading market for our common stock and there is no guarantee that one will be established. However, if we do establish a trading market for our common stock and if we fail to meet such expectations for these or other reasons, the market price of our common stock could fall substantially, and we could face costly lawsuits, including securities class action suits.
We are highly dependent on our Chairman and our Chief Executive Officer and the loss of either of them could have a material adverse effect on ADOL’s business and results of operations. Further, we may not be able to attract qualified directors or officers to replace them or other key management personnel necessary to grow our business.
We are highly reliant on the services of our Chairman and Chief Innovations Officer; Paul Bulat, MD and our Chief Executive Officer, Brian G. Lane. If either left, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. The Company has employment agreements with Mr. Lane and Dr. Bulat that expire in December, 2015, at which time we may seek to renew such agreements. Furthermore, we must continue to hire experienced managers to continue to grow our business. As a company with limited operating history, we may have difficulty attracting and retaining new individuals. If we are not successful in attracting management, it could have a material adverse effect on our ability to grow our business, which would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Potential conflicts of interest may result in loss of business which may result in the failure of the business.
Currently Mr. Hollander is a member of our Board of Directors and our CFO. Mr. Hollander is also the CFO and a director of Agritek Holdings, Inc. (a Delaware registered public company “AGTK”), the CFO of 800 Commerce, Inc. (a Florida registered public company “ETHG”), the CFO of Cabinet Grow, Inc. (a Nevada corporation that filed a registration statement on Form S-1 on July 28, 2014) and is the sole member of Venture Equity, LLC, a Florida Limited Liability Company, providing accounting and company consulting services. Mr. Hollander is not obligated to commit his full time and attention to our business and accordingly, may encounter a conflict of interest in allocating his time between our company and those of other businesses. We estimate that Mr. Hollander will spend approximately 20 hours per week on matters related to the Company.
In general, officers and directors of a corporation are required to present business opportunities to the corporation if:
• | the corporation could financial undertake the opportunity; |
• | the opportunity is within the corporation’s line of business; and |
• | it would be unfair to the corporation and our stockholders not to bring the opportunity to the attention of the corporation. |
We do not expect any conflict of interest with Mr. Hollander because the business activities of the aforementioned companies are different from our business activities.
Supporting a growing customer base could strain our personnel and corporate infrastructure, and if we are unable to scale our operations and increase productivity, we may not be able to successfully implement our business plan.
Our current management and human resources infrastructure is comprised of our Chairman, our CEO and several outsourced consultants. Our success will depend, in part, upon the ability of our Management to manage our proposed business effectively. To do so, we will need to hire, train and manage new employees as needed. To manage the expected domestic growth of ADOL’s operations and personnel, we will need to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. If we fail to successfully scale our operations and increase productivity, we will be unable to execute our business plan.
10 |
If we do not effectively manage changes in our business, these changes could place a significant strain on our management and operations.
To manage our growth successfully, we must continue to improve and expand our systems and infrastructure in a timely and efficient manner. Our controls, systems, procedures and resources may not be adequate to support a changing and growing company. If our management fails to respond effectively to changes and growth in our business, including acquisitions, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.
Our business model is subject to change
We may elect to make hiring, marketing, pricing, and service decisions that could increase our expenses, affect our revenues and impact our overall financial results. Moreover, because our expense levels in any given quarter are based, in part, on management’s expectations regarding future revenues, if revenues are below expectations, the effect on our operating results may be magnified by our inability to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for a shortfall in revenues. The extent to which expenses are not subsequently followed by increased revenues would harm our operating results and could seriously impair our business.
ADOL’s Directors and Officers possess the majority of our voting power, and through this ownership, control our Company and our corporate actions.
Our current Officers and Directors as a group hold approximately 90% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of stock. These Officers and Directors have a controlling influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, election of directors, and other significant corporate actions. Such officer and director may also have the power to prevent or cause a change in control. In addition, without the consent of these stockholders, ADOL could be prevented from entering into transactions that could be beneficial to us. The interests of these stockholders may give rise to a conflict of interest with the Company and the Company’s other shareholders. For additional details concerning voting power please refer to the section below entitled “Description of Securities.”
Legal proceedings to assert our intellectual property rights could require us to spend money and could impair our operations.
In the event that a competitor infringes upon our intellectual property rights, enforcing these rights may be costly, difficult, and time consuming. Even if successful, litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights or to defend our intellectual property rights against challenge could be expensive and time-consuming and could divert our management’s attention from our primary business. We may not have sufficient resources to enforce our intellectual property rights or to defend our patents or other intellectual property rights against a challenge. If we are unsuccessful in enforcing and protecting our intellectual property rights and protecting our products, it could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We may encounter issues with privacy and security of personal information.
A substantial portion of our revenue comes from healthcare customers. Our software solutions may handle or have access to personal health information subject in the United States to HIPAA and related regulations. These statutes and related regulations impose numerous requirements regarding the use and disclosure of personal health information with which we must comply. Our failure to accurately anticipate or interpret these complex and technical laws and regulations could subject us to civil and/or criminal liability. We make every effort to comply with these and all relevant statutes and regulations. Such failure could adversely impact our ability to market and sell our software solutions to healthcare customers, and have a material adverse impact on our software operations, financial condition and statement of income.
We have limited licensing and marketing experience, sales force or distribution capabilities. We currently do not have any sales staff and even if we are unable to recruit key personnel to perform these functions, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our patents.
Our ability to produce revenues ultimately depends on our ability to sell our products and services. We currently have limited experience in marketing or selling our products and services. Developing a marketing and sales force is time-consuming and will involve the investment of significant amounts of financial and management resources, and could delay the launch of new products/services or expansion of existing product/service sales. In addition, we will compete with many companies that currently have extensive and well-funded marketing and sales operations. If we fail to establish successful marketing and sales capabilities or fail to enter into successful marketing arrangements with third parties, our ability to generate revenues will suffer.
Furthermore, even if we enter into marketing and distributing arrangements with third parties, these third parties may not be successful or effective in licensing and marketing our patents. If we fail to create successful and effective licensing, marketing and distribution channels, our ability to generate revenue and achieve our anticipated growth could be adversely affected. If these distributors experience financial or other difficulties, licensing of our patents could be reduced, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.

Claims by others that we infringe their proprietary technology or other rights could harm our business.
Technology companies frequently enter into litigation based on allegations of patent infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. In addition, patent holding companies seek to monetize patents they have purchased or otherwise obtained. As we attempt to gain an increasingly higher profile, the possibility of intellectual property rights claims against us grows. Third parties may assert claims of infringement of intellectual property rights against us. As of the date of this Form 10 registration statement, no claims have been made against us. Third parties may in the future also assert claims against our customers or channel partners, with whom we may have license and other agreements that could obligate us to indemnify against claims that our products infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties. While we intend to increase the size of our patent portfolio, others may now and in the future have significantly larger and more mature patent portfolios than we have. In addition, future litigation may involve patent holding companies or other patent owners who have no relevant product offerings or revenue and against whom our own patents may therefore provide little or no deterrence or protection. Any claim of intellectual property infringement by a third party, even a claim without merit, could cause us to incur substantial costs defending against such claim, could distract our management from our business and could require us to cease use of such intellectual property. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by the discovery process.
Although third parties may offer a license to their technology or other intellectual property, the terms of any offered license may not be acceptable, and the failure to obtain a license or the costs associated with any license could cause our business, financial condition and results of operations to be materially and adversely affected. In addition, some licenses may be non-exclusive, and therefore our competitors may have access to the same technology licensed to us. If a third party does not offer us a license to its technology or other intellectual property on reasonable terms, or at all, we could be enjoined from continued use of such intellectual property. As a result, we may be required to develop alternative, non-infringing technology, which could require significant time (during which we could be unable to continue to offer our affected products, subscriptions or services), effort, and expense and may ultimately not be successful. Furthermore, a successful claimant could secure a judgment or we may agree to a settlement that prevents us from distributing certain products, providing certain subscriptions or performing certain services or that requires us to pay substantial damages, royalties or other fees. Any of these events could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we are not able to adequately protect our patented rights, our operations would be negatively impacted.
Our ability to compete largely depends on the superiority, uniqueness and value of our technology and intellectual property. To protect our intellectual property rights, we rely on a combination of patent, and trade secret laws, confidentiality agreements with our employees and third parties, and protective contractual provisions. Further, we can give no assurances that infringement or invalidity claims (or claims for indemnification resulting from infringement claims) will not be asserted or prosecuted against us or that any such assertions or prosecutions will not materially adversely affect our business. Regardless of whether any such claims are valid or can be successfully asserted, defending against such claims could cause us to incur significant costs and could divert resources away from our other activities. In addition, assertion of infringement claims could result in injunctions that prevent us from distributing our products. Despite these efforts, any of the following may reduce the value of our intellectual property:
• | our applications for patents, trademarks and copyrights relating to our business may not be granted and, if granted, may be challenged or invalidated; |
• | once issued, such issued trademarks, copyrights, or patents may not provide us with any competitive advantages; |
• | our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights may not be effective in preventing misappropriation of our technology; or |
• | our efforts may not prevent the development and design by others of products or technologies similar to or competitive with, or superior to those we develop. |
Our ability to maintain customer satisfaction depends in part on the quality of our professional service organization and technical and other support services. Failure to maintain high-quality customer support could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Once our platform is deployed within our customers’ networks, our customers may depend on our technical and other support services, as well as the support of our channel partners, to resolve any issues relating to the implementation and maintenance of our platform. If we or our channel partners do not effectively assist our customers in deploying our platform, succeed in helping our customers quickly resolve post-deployment issues, or provide effective ongoing support, our ability to sell additional products, subscriptions or services as part of our platform to existing customers would be adversely affected and our reputation with potential customers could be damaged. Many larger organizations have more complex networks and require higher levels of support than smaller customers. If we fail to meet the requirements of our larger customers, it may be more difficult to execute on our strategy of upselling and cross selling with these customers. Additionally, if our channel partners do not effectively provide support to the satisfaction of our customers, we may be required to provide this level of support to those customers, which would require us to hire additional personnel and to invest in additional resources. We are also in the process of expanding our professional services organization. It can take significant time and resources to recruit, hire, and train qualified technical support and professional services employees. We may not be able to hire such resources fast enough to keep up with demand, particularly when the sales of our platform exceed our internal forecasts. To the extent that we or our channel partners are unsuccessful in hiring, training, and retaining adequate support resources, our ability and the ability of our channel partners to provide adequate and timely support to our customers will be negatively impacted, and our customers’ satisfaction with our platform will be adversely affected.
We may or may not be able to capitalize on potential market opportunities related to our licensing strategy or our patent portfolio.
Our business strategy calls for us to enter into licensing relationships with the leading companies in our target market in order to reach a larger end-user base than we could reach through direct sales and marketing efforts. There can be no assurance that we will be able to capitalize on the potential market opportunity. Our inability to generate licensing revenues associated with the potential market opportunity could result from a number of factors, including, but not limited to:
• | our capital resources may be insufficient; |
• | our management team may not have sufficient bandwidth to successfully capitalize on all of the opportunities identified; and |
• | we may not be successful in entering into licensing relationships with our targeted customers on commercially acceptable terms. |
12 |
Intellectual property rights do not necessarily address all potential threats to our competitive position.
The degree of future protection afforded by our intellectual property rights is uncertain because intellectual property rights have limitations, and may not adequately protect our business, or permit us to maintain our competitive position. We may face, among others, the following threats or challenges:
• | Others may be able to develop technology or systems that are similar to our products and systems but that are not covered by the claims of the patents that we own or have exclusively licensed. |
• | Others may assert an ownership interest in any of our intellectual property rights or raise an inventorship issue with respect to our patent filings. No such claims have been raised to date. |
• | We or our licensors, or contracted entities might not have been the first to make the inventions covered by the issued patent or pending patent application that we own or have exclusively licensed. |
• | Although we are unaware of any such conflicts, we or our licensors or contracted entities might not have been the first to file patent applications covering certain of our inventions. |
• | Others may independently develop similar or alternative technologies or duplicate any of our technologies without infringing our intellectual property rights. |
• | Our pending patent applications may not lead to issued patents. |
• | Issued patents that we own or have exclusively licensed may not provide us with any competitive advantages, or may be held invalid or unenforceable, as a result of legal challenges by our competitors. To date no such claims have been made. |
• | Our competitors might conduct research and development activities in countries where we do not have patent rights and then use the information learned from such activities to develop competitive products for sale in our major commercial markets. We current only have U.S. patent rights. |
• | We may not develop additional proprietary technologies that are patentable. |
• | The patents of others may have an adverse effect on our business. |
Our current research and development efforts may not produce successful products or enhancements to our platform that result in significant revenue, cost savings or other benefits in the near future, if at all.
We must continue to dedicate significant financial and other resources to our research and development efforts if we are to establish, then maintain a competitive position. However, developing products and enhancements to our platform is expensive and time consuming, and there is no assurance that such activities will result in significant new marketable products or enhancements to our platform, design improvements, cost savings, revenue or other expected benefits. If we spend significant time and effort on research and development and are unable to generate an adequate return on our investment, our business and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.
Obtaining and enforcing patents is costly, time-consuming and inherently uncertain. In addition, Congress may pass patent reform legislation. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled on several patent cases in recent years, either narrowing the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakening the rights of patent owners in certain situations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty with respect to the value of patents, once obtained. Depending on decisions by the U.S. Congress, the federal courts, and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the laws and regulations governing patents could change in unpredictable ways that would weaken our ability to obtain new patents or to enforce our existing patents and patents that we might obtain in the future. If we are unable to obtain new patents or enforce our existing patents, our business, financial condition, and results of operations would adversely affect our financial condition.
Risks Related to the Securities Markets and Ownership of Our Common Stock
We cannot assure you that a market will develop for our common stock or what the market price of our common stock will be.
There is no established public trading market for our securities. Hence, there is no central place, such as a stock exchange or electronic trading system, to resell your common stock. It is our plan to utilize a market maker who will apply to have our common stock quoted on the over the counter market operated by the OTC Markets Group. We intend to apply for the OTCQB level of such market (“OTCQB”) To be eligible to trade on OTCQB, companies are required to meet a ($.01) bid price test, provide information based upon their reporting standard (SEC Reporting, Bank Reporting or International Reporting), and submit an annual OTCQB Certification signed by the company CEO or CFO. In the event we do not meet the eligibility requirements for the OTCQB we will apply for trading on the OTC Markets Pink level of quotation.
Our shares are not and have not been listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotations will be approved or that a regular trading market will develop or that if developed, will be sustained. In the absence of a trading market, an investor will be unable to liquidate his investment except by private sale.
Failure to develop or maintain a trading market could negatively affect the value of our common stock in the hands of our investors and make it difficult or impossible for you to sell your shares. Even if a market for common stock does develop, the market price of common stock may be highly volatile. In addition to the uncertainties relating to future operating performance and the profitability of operations, factors such as variations in interim financial results or various, as yet unpredictable, factors, many of which are beyond our control, may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.
13 |
If and when a market for our common stock develops, the price of our common stock may be volatile, and the value of an investment could decline.
Technology stocks have historically experienced high levels of volatility. If we are able to obtain a trading symbol and have our shares of common stock quoted on the OTCQB, the trading price of our common stock may fluctuate substantially. The market price of our common stock may be higher or lower than the price paid for shares of our common stock, depending on many factors, some of which are beyond our control and may not be related to our operating performance. These fluctuations could cause an investor to lose all or part of their investment in our common stock. Factors that could cause fluctuations in the future trading price of our common stock include the following:
• | announcements of new products, services or technologies, commercial relationships, acquisitions or other events by us or our competitors; |
• | price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time; |
• | significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of technology companies in general and of companies in our industry in particular; |
• | fluctuations in the trading volume of our shares or the size of our public float; |
• | actual or anticipated changes or fluctuations in our results of operations; |
• | whether our results of operations meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors; |
• | actual or anticipated changes in the expectations of investors or securities analysts; |
• | litigation involving us, our industry, or both; |
• | regulatory developments in the United States; |
• | general economic conditions and trends; |
• | major catastrophic events; |
• | sales of large blocks of our common stock; or |
• | departures of key personnel. |
In addition, if the market for technology stocks or the stock market in general experiences a loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, results of operations or financial condition. The trading price of our common stock might also decline in reaction to events that affect other companies in our industry even if these events do not directly affect us. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. If our stock price is volatile, we may become the target of securities litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources from our business. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public markets, if established, or the perception that such sales might occur, could reduce the price that our common stock might otherwise attain and may dilute your voting power and your ownership interest in us.
There is currently no public trading market for our common stock, however, we hope that one will be established in the future. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market in the future, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock, when and if established, and may make it more difficult for you to sell your common stock at a time and price that you deem appropriate. As of June 30, 2014, we had approximately 19,276,463 shares of common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis, including the conversion of 3,500,000 shares of Class A preferred stock into 7,000,000 shares of common stock and the conversion of convertible promissory notes of $104,055 into 104,055 shares of common stock and excludes outstanding vested options to purchase 4,107,360 shares of common stock.
We may issue our shares of common stock or securities convertible into our common stock from time to time in connection with a financing, acquisition or otherwise. Any such issuance could result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and cause the trading price of our common stock to decline.
We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.
We have never paid dividends on our common stock. Also, we do not currently anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. Our current intention is to apply net earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing our capital base and development and marketing efforts. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and pay dividends to the holders of our common stock, and in any event, a decision to declare and pay dividends is at the sole discretion of our board of directors. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if its stock price appreciates.
The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our ability to attract and retain qualified board members.
As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly, and increase demand on our systems and resources. Among other things, the Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and results of operations and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain and, if required, improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight may be required. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm our business and results of operations. Although we have already hired a Chief Financial Officer to comply with these requirements, we may need to hire even more employees in the future, which will increase our costs and expenses.
In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs, and making some activities more time consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations, and standards, and this investment will increase our general and administrative expense and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations, and standards are unsuccessful, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.
We also expect that being a public company and these new rules and regulations will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified executive officers and members of our board of directors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
For so long as we remain an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including not being required to comply with the independent auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of offering public offering, (ii) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenue is $1 billion or more, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous rolling three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in the Exchange Act. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock, and our stock price may be more volatile and may decline.
In addition, the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to adopt these reduced disclosure requirements.
As an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, we are permitted to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements.
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:
• | have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; |
• | comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis); |
• | submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and |
• | disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive’s compensation to median employee compensation. |
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
We will remain an “emerging growth company” we will remain an emerging growth company from up to the last day of the fifth anniversary of your first registered sale of common equity securities, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.
As a result of becoming a public reporting company, we will be obligated to implement and maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting. We may not complete our analysis of our internal control over financial reporting in a timely manner, or these internal controls may not be determined to be effective, which may adversely affect investor confidence in our company and, as a result, the value of our common stock if and when it is publicly traded.
We will be required, pursuant to the Exchange Act, to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for the first fiscal year beginning after the effective date of this registration statement. This assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting.
In connection with the preparation of our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, we and our independent auditors identified material weaknesses relating to our internal control over the financial reporting process and information technology.
During the evaluation and testing process, if we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that we are unable to remediate before the end of the same fiscal year in which the material weakness is identified, we will be unable to assert that our internal controls are effective. If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our auditors, when required, are unable to attest to management’s report on the effectiveness of our internal controls, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which would cause the price of our common stock to decline when and if a trading market is established.
As a publicly reporting company, we will be required to disclose material changes made in our internal control and procedures on a quarterly basis. However, our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act until the later of (i) the year following our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC, (ii) the date we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, if we take advantage of the exemptions contained in the JOBS Act or (iii) we are no longer a smaller reporting company. To comply with the requirements of being a public company, we may need to undertake various actions, such as implementing new internal controls and procedures and hiring accounting or internal audit staff.
Our charter documents and Delaware law could discourage takeover attempts and lead to management entrenchment.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws contain provisions that could delay or prevent a change in control of our company. These provisions could also make it difficult for stockholders to elect directors who are not nominated by the current members of our board of directors or take other corporate actions, including effecting changes in our management. These provisions include:
• | the ability of our board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquiror; |
• | the exclusive right of our board of directors to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of our board of directors or the resignation, death or removal of a director, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our board of directors; |
• | the requirement for the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of the voting stock, voting together as a single class, to amend the provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation relating to the management of our business or certain provisions of our amended and restated bylaws, which may inhibit the ability of an acquiror to effect such amendments to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt; |
• | the ability of our board of directors to amend the bylaws, which may allow our board of directors to take additional actions to prevent an unsolicited takeover and inhibit the ability of an acquiror to amend the bylaws to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt; and |
• | advance notice procedures with which stockholders must comply to nominate candidates to our board of directors or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which may discourage or deter a potential acquiror from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquiror’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us. |
Our common stock if it becomes listed on the OTCQB will be considered “penny stock” and may be difficult to sell.
The SEC has adopted Rule 3a51-1, which establishes the definition of a “penny stock” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share and trades on a national market system with certain initial quantitative listing standards, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, Rule 15g-9 requires:
• | that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and |
• | that the broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. |
• | In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: |
• | obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and |
• | make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. |
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
• | sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and |
• | that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. |
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock. In addition, since the common stock will be traded on the OTCQB Marketplace, investors may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations of the common stock and may experience a lack of buyers to purchase such stock or a lack of market makers to support the stock price.
Our operating history makes it difficult for you to evaluate the merits of our ongoing business prospects.
Our revenues were $425,918 and $267,849 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $246,778 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and for the six months ended June 30, 2014, we had net losses of $4,724,950, $1,734,290 and $1,182,964, respectively. You have no assurance we will be able to generate sufficient revenues from our business to reach a break-even level or to become profitable in future periods. We are subject to the risks inherent in any new business in a highly competitive marketplace. Products and services that we have recently introduced or plan to introduce in the near future increase our new-business risks and your difficulty in assessing our prospects. You must consider the likelihood of our success in light of the problems, uncertainties, unexpected costs, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in developing and expanding a new business and the competitive environment in which we operate. If we fail to successfully address these risks, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially harmed.
Our stockholders may experience significant dilution if future equity offerings are used to fund operations or acquire complementary businesses.
If our future operations or acquisitions are financed through the issuance of equity securities, our stockholders could experience significant dilution. In addition, securities issued in connection with future financing activities or potential acquisitions may have rights and preferences senior to the rights and preferences of our common stock. We also have established an equity incentive plan for our management and employees. We have granted options to purchase shares of our common stock, and we may grant additional options and stock awards in the future. The issuance of shares of our common stock form the granting of stock awards and upon the exercise of these options may result in dilution to our stockholders.
We could issue “blank check” preferred stock without stockholder approval with the effect of diluting then current stockholder interests and impairing their voting rights, and provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could discourage a takeover that stockholders may consider favorable.
Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, provides for the authorization to issue up to 15,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors. Our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue one or more series of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could dilute the interest of, or impair the voting power of, our common stockholders. In consideration of a Patent Assignment Agreement, the Company issued to Dr. Paul Bulat, 3,500,000 shares of Class A Preferred Stock that have voting rights to cast fifteen (15) votes for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of holders of the Corporation’s common stock, including the election of directors, and all other matters as required by law and at Mr. Bulat’s option convert to 7,000,000 shares of common stock. The issuance of any additional class of preferred stock could be used as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control. For example, it would be possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of our company. In addition, advanced notice is required prior to stockholder proposals.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the Penny Stock Rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
A significant amount of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock are restricted securities and may not be freely resold to the public. When the restriction on any or all of these shares is lifted, and the shares are sold in the open market, if a market then exists for our common stock, the price of our common stock could be adversely affected.
A significant amount of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock are "restricted securities" as defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may only be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration, if available. Although Rule 144 may not be immediately available to permit resale of such shares, once available, and given the number of shares that would no longer be restricted, sales of shares by our shareholders, whether pursuant to Rule 144 or otherwise, could have an immediate negative effect upon the price of our common stock if a trading market for our common stock has been established at that time.
When we issue additional shares in the future, it will likely result in the dilution of our existing stockholders.
Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, authorizes the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a $0.01 par value and 15,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.01. As of August 31, 2014, 12,172,408 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding, 3,500,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding and 179,667 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were outstanding. If we issue any additional shares, such issuance will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all current stockholders. Further, such issuance may result in a change of control of our corporation.
Moreover, in the past, we have issued options to acquire shares of common stock. As of August 31, 2014, we had options to purchase an aggregate of 4,262,360 shares of our common stock. In addition, the issuance of any shares for acquisition, licensing or financing efforts, or exercise of warrants and options and issuance of stock award grants pursuant to our equity compensation plans, or otherwise may result in a reduction of the book value and market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

Results of Operations
General
The Company, through PDRx, currently provides weekday after hour and weekend physician coverage services to the primary care physicians at nursing homes and extended care facilities (“ECF’S”). During our hours of operation nurses may call our facility to manage the care of a specific patient. Our physicians are located at a call center and interact with the nurse, family, and patient via phone and/or video. Our services are paid by the facility on a monthly basis, pursuant to annual contracts. These facilities generally pay us $2,500 a month. This fee arrangement covers all services to the nursing home regardless of the number of calls. Our physicians are paid hourly as independent contractors for their services. The company also has a contract with Senior Whole Health (“SWH”), a senior care organization. If any patient at one of our contracted facilities is a member of SWH, SWH compensates the Company $2 per day for that patient and the Company issues a credit to the nursing home or ECF for the amount received from SWH for member patients at their facility.
Revenues
Revenues for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $425,918 and $267,849, respectively. The increase of $158,069 was a result of the following:

Also during the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company began providing physical exams at facilities that were utilizing our telemedicine services. Lastly, we had an increase of approximately $69,069 related to the increase in patients in our contracted ECF’s that are members of SWH, for which we receive $2 per day per patient.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, we issued six convertible promissory notes (the “2013 Notes”) to Dr. Paul Bulat, our founder, Chief Innovation Officer and Chairman of the board of directors. The 2013 Notes in the aggregate total $105,055, accrue interest at 5% per year and are due on their three year anniversary (the “Maturity Date”) of the issuance date. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company repaid $1,000 of the 2013 Notes.
Net cash used in operating activities was $373,662 for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $189,986 for the year ended December 31, 2012. Negative cash flow from operations for 2013 was due to the net loss of $4,724,950, an increase of $12,500 in prepaid expenses and an increase in accounts receivable of $61,491; offset by the non-cash stock-based compensation of $4,105,546, amortization and depreciation expenses of $30,224 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the amount of $289,509. Negative cash flow from operations for 2012 was due to the net loss of $1,734,290, offset by a decrease of $1,917 in prepaid expenses, a decrease in accounts receivable of $56,429; offset by non-cash stock-based compensation of $1,388,829, amortization and depreciation expenses of $37,912 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the amount of $59,217.
Net cash used in investing activities was $12,726 compared to $6,611 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The cash flows from investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2013 was due to costs associated with the Company’s patents. Cash flows from investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2012 was primarily due to cost associated with the purchase of computer equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $474,055 and $149,500 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The cash flows from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2013 were a result of proceeds from the sale of 740,000 shares of common stock at $.50 per share, or $370,000, proceeds of $105,055 from advances from a related party; offset by repayments of $1,000 on convertible notes to the same related party. Cash flows from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 were a result of proceeds from the sale of common stock.
We anticipate that we will need a minimum of $180,000 to continue our operations for the next twelve (12) months. ADOL currently plans to satisfy its cash requirements for the next 12 months though it’s current cash, sales, and raising funds in capital raise transactions and if necessary by borrowing from its officers and directors or companies affiliated with its officers and directors. ADOL believes it will meet its cash requirements although it has no agreements in place for a capital raise transaction or from any of its officers or directors.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2013 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $14,333,703 and a working capital deficit of $105,350. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Emerging Growth Company Critical Accounting Policy Disclosure
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:
• | have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; |
• | comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis); |
• | submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and |
• | disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. |
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
We will remain an emerging growth company from up to the last day of the fifth anniversary of your first registered sale of common equity securities or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.
Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, defines a Smaller Reporting Company as an issuer that is not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer), or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent that is not a smaller reporting company and that:
• | Had a public float of less than $ 75 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter, computed by multiplying the aggregate worldwide number of shares of its voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates by the price at which the common equity was last sold, or the average of the bid and asked prices of common equity, in the principal market for the common equity; or |
• | In the case of an initial registration statement under the Securities Act or Exchange Act for shares of its common equity, had a public float of less than $75 million as of a date within 30 days of the date of the filing of the registration statement, computed by multiplying the aggregate worldwide number of such shares held by non-affiliates before the registration plus, in the case of a Securities Act registration statement, the number of such shares included in the registration statement by the estimated public offering price of the shares; or |
• | In the case of an issuer whose public float as calculated under paragraph (1) or (2) of this definition was zero, had annual revenues of less than $50 million during the most recently completed fiscal year for which audited financial statements are available. |
We qualify as a Smaller Reporting Company. Moreover, as a Smaller Reporting Company and so long as we remain a Smaller Reporting Company, we benefit from similar exemptions and exclusions as an Emerging Growth Company. In the event that we cease to be an Emerging Growth Company as a result of a lapse of the five year period, but continue to be a Smaller Reporting Company, we would continue to be subject to similar exemptions available to Emerging Growth Companies until such time as we were no longer a Smaller Reporting Company.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original term of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Pursuant to licenses entered into by PDRx and their customers, the Company bills the customer monthly and records the corresponding accounts receivable due from its licensees.
Patents
The Company capitalizes legal fees and filing costs associated with the development and filing of its patents. Patents are generally amortized over an estimated useful life of 17 years using the straight-line method beginning on the grant date.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC 605 requires that four basic criteria are met (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery of products and services has occurred, (3) the fee is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.
The Company recognizes revenue during the month in which the licensed products are utilized.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value measurements are determined under a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, distinguishing between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (“observable inputs”) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (“unobservable inputs”).
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company primarily uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets (“market approach”). The Company also considers the impact of a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for an asset or liability when compared with normal activity to identify transactions that are not orderly.
21 |
The highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Securities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The three hierarchy levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
Credit risk adjustments are applied to reflect the Company’s own credit risk when valuing all liabilities measured at fair value. The methodology is consistent with that applied in developing counterparty credit risk adjustments, but incorporates the Company’s own credit risk as observed in the credit default swap market.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the estimated future tax effects, calculated at the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time of realization. The Company records a valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment.
ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. The Company classifies interest and penalties as a component of interest and other expenses. To date, the Company has not been assessed, nor has the Company paid, any interest or penalties.
The Company measures and records uncertain tax positions by establishing a threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), after deducting preferred stock dividends accumulated during the period, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.
Accounting for Stock Based Compensation
We account for stock based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).
22 |
The Company will estimate the fair value of stock options and warrants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which was developed for use in estimating the fair value of options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. This model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility of the underlying stock and the expected life of stock options. Projected data related to the expected volatility of stock options is based on the average volatility of the trading prices of comparable companies and the expected life of stock options is based upon the term and vesting schedules of the options. Changes in these subjective assumptions can materially affect the fair value of the estimate, and therefore the existing valuation models do not provide a precise measure of the fair value of our stock options and warrants. The expected dividend rate is zero as the Company does not expect to pay or declare any cash dividends on common stock. The risk-free rates for the expected terms of the stock options are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.
In accordance with ASC 718, excess tax benefits realized from the exercise of stock-based awards are classified in cash flows from financing activities. The future realization of the reserved deferred tax assets related to these tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options will result in a credit to additional paid-in capital if the related tax deduction reduces taxes payable.
The Company accounts for stock awards issued to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The measurement date is the earlier of (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete.
The Company will estimate the fair value of shares of common stock issued for services based on the price of shares of the Company’s common stock sold in contemporaneous private placements of offerings on the date shares are granted.
Item 3. Properties.
Our principal office is located at 200 Mill Road Suite 350A, Fairhaven, Massachusetts consisting of 4,874 square feet of space. Beginning January 1, 2014, the Company will be paying $5,880 per month on a month to month basis.

Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which such person has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares which the individual has the right to acquire within sixty (60) days after the date hereof, through the exercise of any stock option, warrant or other right. Unless otherwise indicated, each person has sole investment and voting power (or shares such power with his or her spouse) with respect to the shares set forth in the following table. The inclusion herein of any shares deemed beneficially owned does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership of those shares.

Item 5. Directors and Executive Officers.

Barry Hollander | 57 | Director | July 11, 2013 |
Paul Fredette | 64 | Chief Technology Officer | N/A |
Our bylaws provide that the number of directors shall be determined by resolution of the board of directors or by stockholders at the annual meeting or at any special meeting of stockholders. Our bylaws also provides that directors may be removed with or without cause by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. Furthermore, any vacancy on our board of directors, however occurring, including a vacancy resulting from an increase in the size of our board, may only be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of our directors then in office even if less than a quorum. Any director so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election and until their successor(s) are duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner replaced. The classification of directors, together with the limitations on removal of directors and treatment of vacancies, has the effect of making it more difficult for stockholders to change the composition of our board of directors. We do not have independent directors using the definition of independence contained in the NASDAQ listing rules. Our executive officers are elected by the board of directors and their terms of office are at the discretion of the board of directors, subject to terms and conditions of their respective employment agreements, if any. Pursuant to our amended bylaws we have indemnified our officers and directors to the fullest extent allowed under Delaware law.

26 |
On October 7, 2013, the Company appointed Mr. Hollander as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and on October 28, 2013, the Company entered into a Chief Financial Officer Agreement, with Mr. Hollander and Venture Equity, jointly, to be effective on November 1, 2013 (the “Effective date”) for a one year term. For these additional responsibilities, and pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to issue Mr. Hollander or his assigns an additional three percent (3%) of the shares outstanding (as defined) of the common stock of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Mr. Hollander earned 50% of the additional shares on the six month anniversary of the Effective Date and will earn 50% on the one year anniversary of the Effective Date. Accordingly, the Company has recorded the issuance of 347,169 shares of common stock, representing the original 2%, and recorded an expense of $173,585. The additional 3%, or 520,754 shares of common with a value $260,377 stock was recorded as deferred equity compensation and included in the equity on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company valued the common stock at $0.50 per share, the same value as the most recent sales of common stock. The Company will amortize the deferred equity compensation over the twelve month term, and has included $43,395 and $130,188 in stock compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2013, and for the six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The balance as of June 30, 2014, of $86,793 in deferred equity compensation will be amortized on a monthly basis of $21,698 from July through October 2014.

The Notes automatically convert on the six month anniversary following the effectiveness of the Company becoming a public company (the “Conversion Date”) at a conversion price equal to the average closing bid price over the five consecutive days immediately preceding the Conversion Date. The current and largest amount of principal outstanding since the date of issuance is $104,055 and $105,055, respectively.
For more information on the 2013 Notes, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—2013 Convertible Note Financings.”
On October 23, 2013, the Company executed a Patent Purchase Agreement with Mr. Bulat. Pursuant to the Patent Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 3,500,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company recorded an expense of $3,483,325 for the year ended December 31, 2013, and has included $16,675 (the inventor’s cost basis) in patents pending on the consolidated balance sheet presented herein. The amounts were based on the conversion feature of the Series A Preferred Stock, whereby the holder, in his sole discretion is entitled to convert the 3,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to 7,000,000 shares of Company common stock. The Company valued the common stock at $0.50 per share, the same value as the most recent sales of common stock. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to cast fifteen (15) votes for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of holders of the Corporation’s common stock, including the election of directors, and all other matters as required by law. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together with all other classes and series of common stock of the Corporation as a single class on all actions to be taken by the common stock holders of the Corporation except to the extent that voting as a separate class or series is required by law.
Effective June 1, 2013, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Venture Equity, LLC (“Venture Equity”), whereby Venture Equity will assist the Company in their seeking to become a public company. The Company agreed to compensate Venture Equity $5,000 per month and to issue 2% of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to becoming a public company for the services. Mr. Barry Hollander, the Company’s CFO, is the sole member of Venture Equity. On July 11, 2013, the Company appointed Mr. Hollander to its board of directors. The Company expensed $33,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 and is included in management fees.
On October 7, 2013, the Company appointed Mr. Hollander as the CFO of the Company, and on October 28, 2013, to be effective on November 1, 2013 (the “Effective date”) the Company entered into a Chief Financial Officer Agreement, for a period of one year with Mr. Hollander and Venture Equity, jointly. The Company agreed to issue Mr. Hollander or his assigns an additional three percent (3%) of the shares outstanding (as defined) of the common stock of the Company. Pursuant to these arrangements, Mr. Hollander earned 50% of the additional shares on the six month anniversary of the Effective Date and will earn 50% on the one year anniversary of the Effective Date. Accordingly, the Company upon recording the issuance of 347,169 shares of common stock, representing the original 2% recorded an expense of $173,585 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The additional 3%, or 520,754 shares of common with a value $260,377 stock was recorded as deferred equity compensation and included in the equity on the consolidated balance sheet.

ADOL has executed a Management Services and License Agreement (“MSLA”) with PDRx. Based on the common control and ownership between ADOL and PDRx, the financial results and disclosures contained herein consolidate PDRx and ADOL. ADOL exerts no influence on, or has any involvement in the practice of medicine completed by PDRx’s clinical staff. Pursuant to the terms of the MSLA, PDRx has the right to use and sublicense the intellectual property of ADOL. PDRx currently has Personal Service Agreements with Extended Care Facilities (“ECF’s”) to provide to 13 facilities, remote covering physician consultations via audio and/or video conferencing technologies. The Company provides ECFs nurses, patients and their families’ confidential, real-time access to Board Certified physicians (the “PDRx Providers”) in non-urgent, urgent and emergent care settings through a medical call center, resulting in reduction of unnecessary and avoidable transfers and readmissions to the Emergency Department. PDRx pays the Company for the use of the license via a monthly management fee. The management fee is equal to the monthly receipts PDRx receives less the direct PDRx Provider costs, insurance, reasonable accounting, legal and other professional service fees. In exchange for the management fee, ADOL provides PDRx with support for PDRx’s administration, management, finance, human relations, information technology, and sales and marketing functions. A license and management services contract with PDRx has been in place since 2001. The current agreement went effective on September 17, 2011 and has a thirty year term.
Director Independence
We are not subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or national securities association and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our board comprised of a majority of “independent directors.”
Director Qualification
Our Board of Directors is currently comprised of three individuals. Dr. Bulat is the founder of our company and has significant knowledge about our industry. Mr. Lane’s qualifications include experience in the healthcare and technology areas and have held strategic management positions for leading technology companies. Mr. Hollander has over twenty five years of experience in accounting and finance, specializing in the reporting requirements of public companies. Our Board concluded that as a result of these directors individual experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that each person is qualified to be serving as a member of our board of directors as of the date of this registration statement in light of our business and structure. In addition to their individual skills and backgrounds which are focused in our industry as well as managerial and financial experience, we believe that the collective skills and experience of our Board members are well suited to guide us as we continue to grow our company. We expect to expand our board of directors in the future to include independent directors. In adding additional members to our Board, we will consider each candidate’s independence, skills and expertise based on a variety of factors, including the person’s experience or background in management, finance, regulatory matters and corporate governance. Further, when identifying nominees to serve as director, we expect that our Board will seek to create a Board that is strong in its collective knowledge and has a diversity of skills and experience with respect to accounting and finance, management and leadership, vision and strategy, business operations, business judgment, industry knowledge and corporate governance.
Committees of Our Board of Directors and the Role of Our Board in Risk Oversight
We do not have any independent directors. The board of directors oversees our business affairs and monitors the performance of management. At the present stage of our company, our Board believes that in the context of risk oversight, by combining the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Innovation Officer, the Board gains valuable perspective that combines operational experience of a member of management with the oversight focus of a member of the Board.
The Company has not established any committees, including an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee or a Nominating Committee, or any committee performing a similar function. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by Board of Directors as a whole. Because we do not have any independent directors, we believe that the establishment of these committees would be more form over substance.
The Company does not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates which may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our board of directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. Further, when identifying nominees to serve as director, while the Company does not have a policy regarding the consideration of diversity in selecting directors, at such time as we expand our Board, our Board will seek to create a board of directors that is strong in its collective knowledge and has a diversity of skills and experience with respect to accounting and finance, management and leadership, vision and strategy, business operations, business judgment, industry knowledge and corporate governance. The Company has not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our stockholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our Board has not considered or adopted any of these policies as we have never received a recommendation from any stockholder for any candidate to serve on our Board of Directors. Given our relative size, we do not anticipate that any of our stockholders will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees. In considering a director nominee, it is likely that our Board will consider the professional and/or educational background of any nominee with a view towards how this person might bring a different viewpoint or experience to our Board.
Barry Hollander, a director since July 11, 2013, qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 401(e) of Regulation S-K. In general, an “audit committee financial expert” is an individual member of the audit committee or Board of Directors who:
• | understands generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements, | |
• | is able to assess the general application of such principles in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves, | |
• | has experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements comparable to the breadth and complexity to our financial statements, | |
• | understands internal controls over financial reporting, and | |
• | understands audit committee functions. |
Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of our Board members be independent and we are not currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our board of directors include “independent” directors, nor are we required to establish or maintain an Audit Committee or other committee of our board of directors.
Conflicts of Interest
Our directors are not obligated to commit their time and attention exclusively to our business and, accordingly, they may encounter conflicts of interest in allocating their own time between our operations and those of other businesses. Nevertheless, if the execution of our business plan demands more time than is currently committed by any of our officers, directors, consultants or advisors, they will be under no obligation to commit such additional time, and their failure to do so may adversely affect our ability to carry on our business and successfully execute our business plan.
28 |
Compensation of Directors
The Company has not established standard compensation arrangements for our directors and the compensation payable to each individual for their service on our Board is determined from time to time by our board of directors based upon the amount of time expended by each of the directors on our behalf. Currently, executive officers of our company who are also members of the board of directors do not receive any compensation specifically for their services as directors. In the past the Company had compensated non-executive officers as members of the board of directors of the Company by the issuance of options to purchase shares of common stock. Individuals were granted options to purchase 30,000-35,000 shares of common stock for a three year term. None of the individuals who received these option grants are currently members of our board of directors.
Code of Ethics
The Company has not yet adopted a Code of Conduct or Code of Ethics but intends to do so in the future.
Item 8. Legal Proceedings.
Legal Proceedings

No Public Market for Common Stock

2007 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan
Our 2007 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the “2007 Plan”) was approved by our board of directors and our stockholders in 2007. We have reserved an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of our common stock for the issuance of equity awards under the 2007 Plan. This number is subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or other change in our capitalization. Upon the effectiveness of this registration statement, our board of directors has determined not to grant any further awards under our 2007 Plan. Stock options issued under the 2007 Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or shares we reacquire. The shares of common stock underlying any equity awards that are forfeited, canceled, repurchased, expired or are otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) under the 2007 Plan are currently added back to the shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2007 Plan
The 2007 Plan permits us to make grants of incentive stock options to employees and grants of non-qualified stock options and restricted stock to employees, officers, directors and consultants. Our 2007 Plan is administered by our board of directors. Our board of directors has the authority to select the individuals to whom awards will be granted, to make any combination of awards to participants, to accelerate the exercisability or vesting of any award and to determine the specific terms and conditions of each award, subject to the provisions of the 2007 Plan.
The 2007 Plan permits the granting of (1) options to purchase common stock intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and (2) options that do not so qualify. The option exercise price of each option will be determined by our board of directors but may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The term of each option will be fixed by our board of directors and may not exceed ten years from the date of grant. All stock option awards that are granted pursuant to the 2007 Plan are covered by an option agreement.
The 2007 Plan permits the award of restricted shares of common stock to participants, subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions as our board of directors may determine. All restricted stock awards that are granted pursuant to the 2007 Plan are covered by a restricted stock purchase agreement.
The 2007 Plan provides that upon the occurrence of a “liquidity event,” as defined in the 2007 Plan, all outstanding stock options will terminate at the effective time or consummation of such change of control, unless the surviving entity agrees to assume such stock options or substitute similar stock awards for those outstanding under the 2007 Plan. If options under the 2007 Plan terminate, optionees will be provided an opportunity to exercise their vested options prior to the consummation of the change of control.
Our board of directors may amend, alter, suspend or terminate the 2007 Plan at any time, subject to stockholder approval where such approval is required by applicable law. Our board of directors may also amend, modify or terminate any outstanding award, provided that no amendment to an award may materially impair any of the rights of a participant under any awards previously granted without his or her written consent. No awards may be granted under the 2007 Plan after September 26, 2017.
2011 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan
Our 2011 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the “2011 Plan”) was adopted by our board of directors and approved by our stockholders in May 2011.
The 2011 Plan allows our board of directors to make equity-based incentive awards to our officers, employees, directors and other key persons (including consultants).
We have initially reserved 10,000,000 shares of our common stock for the issuance of awards under the 2011 Plan. This number is subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or other change in our capitalization.
The shares issuable pursuant to awards granted under the 2011 Plan will be authorized but unissued shares or shares that we reacquire. The shares of common stock underlying any awards from the 2011 Plan and the 2007 Plan that are forfeited, cancelled, held back upon exercise or settlement of an award to satisfy the exercise price or tax withholding, reacquired by us prior to vesting, satisfied without any issuance of common stock, expire or are otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) under the 2011 Plan and the 2007 Plan will be added back to the shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2011 Plan.
The 2011 Plan will be administered by our board of directors. The board of directors has full power to select, from among the individuals eligible for awards, the individuals to whom awards will be granted, to make any combination of awards to participants, and to determine the specific terms and conditions of each award, subject to the provisions of the 2011 Plan. Persons eligible to participate in the 2011 Plan will be those full or part-time officers, employees, non-employee directors and other key persons (including consultants) as selected.
The 2011 Plan permits the granting of both options to purchase common stock intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code and options that do not so qualify. The exercise price of each stock option will be determined by our board of directors but may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant or, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10% owner, less than 110% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The term of each stock option will be fixed by the board of directors and may not exceed ten years from the date of grant. The board of directors will determine at what time or times each option may be exercised.
The Board of Directors may award stock appreciation rights subject to such conditions and restrictions as it may determine. Stock appreciation rights entitle the recipient to shares of common stock, or cash, equal to the value of the appreciation in our stock price over the exercise price. The exercise price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.
The Board of Directors may award restricted stock or restricted stock units to participants subject to such conditions and restrictions as it may determine. These conditions and restrictions may include the achievement of certain performance goals or continued employment with us through a specified vesting period. The compensation committee may also grant shares of common stock that are free from any restrictions under the 2011 Plan. Unrestricted stock may be granted to participants in recognition of past services or for other valid consideration and may be issued in lieu of cash compensation due to such participant.
The 2011 Plan provides that upon the effectiveness of a “liquidity event,” as defined in the 2011 Plan, in the event that all awards are not assumed or continued or substituted by the successor entity, all awards granted under the 2011 Plan shall terminate. In addition, in connection with a sale event, we may make or provide for a cash payment to participants holding options and stock appreciation rights equal to the difference between the per share cash consideration payable to stockholders in the sale event and the exercise price of the options or stock appreciation rights.
Our Board of Directors may amend or discontinue the 2011 Plan and our compensation committee may amend or cancel outstanding awards for purposes of satisfying changes in law or any other lawful purpose, but no such action may adversely affect rights under an award without the holder’s consent. Certain amendments to the 2011 Plan require the approval of our stockholders. No awards may be granted under the 2011 Plan after the date that is ten years from the date of stockholder approval of the 2011 Plan.

The Company valued the common stock at $0.50 per share, the same value as the most recent sales of common stock.

On July 14, 2014, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware a Certificate of Designation of the Series B Preferred Stock. Among other terms, the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows:
The Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon shall, with respect to rights on liquidation, winding up and dissolution, rank senior to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share issued and outstanding of the Company and the Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
The holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive an annual dividend at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. Such dividend can be paid in cash or in the issuance of additional Series B Preferred Shares.

The Mandatory Conversion Date shall be the date that the five (5) day weighted average trading price of the Common Stock exceeds 110% of the Equity Price.
At any time, or upon receipt of a redemption notice by the Company, the Holder will have twenty (20) days to elect to convert the Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock at a price per share equal to a twenty-five percent (25%) discount to the most recent Common Stock price per share paid by any non-affiliated investor in a subsequent financing to the Series B Preferred Stock.

Item 12. Indemnification of Directors And Officers.
Indemnification of directors and officers
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law, including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under Delaware law. We have agreed to indemnify our executive officers and directors for all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by them in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which they are made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer, if (a) they acted honestly and in good faith with a view to our best interests, and (b) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, they had reasonable grounds for believing that their conduct was lawful.
These indemnification provisions may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our directors, officers and controlling persons for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. To the extent that our directors, officers and controlling persons are indemnified under the provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation, bylaws, Delaware law or contractual arrangements against liabilities arising under the Securities Act, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of American Doctors Online, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American Doctors Online, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. American Doctors Online, Inc.’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have,nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We were not engaged to examine management’s assertion about the effectiveness of American Doctors Online, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Doctors Online, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses, has incurred negative cash flows from operations and has a working capital deficit. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan regarding these matters is also described in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

American Doctors Online, Inc. (the “Company” or “ADOL”) was formed in the State of Delaware on September 17, 1999. ADOL owns four U.S. patents and has three pending patent applications. These patents cover the essential core processes required for the delivery of telehealth and telemedicine services. The Company’s business model is to license to telehealth and/or telemedicine providers one or more of the Company’s patents pursuant to non-exclusive agreements with terms and conditions similar to other licensing agreements involving medical related Intellectual property. The Company believes its’ intellectual property includes the fundamental methodologies inherent to the provision of telehealth and/or telemedicine.
During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, ADOL received fees pursuant to a Management Services and License Agreements with PhoneDOCTORx, LLC, (“PDRx”). PDRx, a Massachusetts limited liability company, is owned by five physicians, who collectively own over 70% of ADOL. Based on the common control and ownership of ADOL and PDRx, PDRx is considered a variable interest entity, of which ADOL is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PDRx. ADOL exerts no influence on, or has any involvement in the practice of medicine by PDRx’s clinical staff.

EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the 2012 JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As an emerging growth company, we can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation of stock-based compensation, the allowance for doubtful accounts and impairment of patents.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original term of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Pursuant to licenses entered into by PDRx and their customers, the Company bills the customer monthly and records the corresponding accounts receivable due from its licensees. The Company extends credit of up to forty five (45) days from invoice date. The Company provides allowance for losses through a provision for losses charged to expenses. Receivables are charged against the allowance for losses when management believes that collectability of the principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing receivables, based on evaluation of the collectability of the accounts and prior loss experience. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluations, this estimate is susceptible to significant change in the near term. The Company has not recorded an allowance for losses as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, as management deemed all accounts receivable to be collectible.
PATENTS
The Company capitalizes legal fees and filing costs associated with the development and filing of its patents. Patents are generally amortized over an estimated useful life of 17 years using the straight-line method beginning on the issue date. Amortization expense of $5,452 and $4,720 was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost, and depreciation is provided by use of straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:
Office equipment and furniture | 5 years |
Computer hardware and software | 3 years |
The Company's property and equipment consisted of the following at December 31, 2013 and 2012:

REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC 605 requires that four basic criteria are met (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery of products and services has occurred, (3) the fee is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.
The Company recognizes revenue during the period in which the licensed products are utilized. PDRx, through the sub-licensing of the ADOL patents, provides remote covering physician consultations via audio and/or video conferencing technologies. It provides Extended Care Facilities (“ECF”), ECF nurses, patients and their families’ confidential, real-time access to Board Certified physicians in non-urgent, urgent and emergent care settings through a state-of-the-art medical call center. PDRx through sub-licenses of ADOL’s patented telehealth / telemedicine technology provides medical services including face-to-face, real-time access to covering physicians, resulting in reduction of unnecessary and avoidable transfers and readmissions to the Emergency Department.
ADVERTISING
The Company records advertising costs as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, advertising expense was $5,231 and $52,360, respectively.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying value of the Company’s accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short term nature. The carrying value of convertible notes payable, stockholder approximates fair value because the terms are similar to prevailing market rates.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the estimated future tax effects, calculated at the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time of realization. The Company records a valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment.
ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. The Company classifies interest and penalties as a component of interest and other expenses. To date, the Company has not been assessed, nor has the Company paid, any interest or penalties.
The Company measures and records uncertain tax positions by establishing a threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized. The Company’s tax years subsequent to 2005 remain subject to examination by federal and state tax jurisdictions.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), after deducting preferred stock dividends accumulated during the period, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 consisting of options to purchase 4,562,137 and 10,746,903, respectively, shares of common stock were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share because their impact was anti-dilutive. Additionally, 104,055 shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to convertible notes payable outstanding of $104,055 as of December 31, 2013 and 7,000,000 shares of common stock underlying 3,500,000 shares of Class A Preferred Stock are not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share.

ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The fair value of our common stock options are estimated using the Black Scholes option-pricing model.
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options and warrants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which was developed for use in estimating the fair value of options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. This model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility of the underlying stock and the expected life of stock options. Projected data related to the expected volatility of stock options is based on the average volatility of the trading prices of comparable companies and the expected life of stock options is based upon the term and vesting schedules of the options. Changes in these subjective assumptions can materially affect the fair value of the estimate, and therefore the existing valuation models do not provide a precise measure of the fair value of our stock options and warrants. The expected dividend rate is zero as the Company does not expect to pay or declare any cash dividends on common stock. The risk-free rates for the expected terms of the stock options are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.
The Company accounts for stock awards issued to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The measurement date is the earlier of (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete.
The Company estimates the fair value of shares of common stock issued for services based on the price of shares of the Company’s common stock sold in contemporaneous private placements of offerings on the date shares are granted.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB and the SEC did not have, or are not believed by management to have, a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Due to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets, the deferred tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Income tax expense for 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

LEASE AGREEMENTS
The Company utilizes office space in Fairhaven, Massachusetts that is leased from a third party by SLEA, the tenant of the space. There was no formal agreement between the Company and SLEA through December 31, 2013. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded no rent expense and rent expense of $5,100, respectively for the space. Effective January 1, 2014, the Company has agreed to make the monthly rent payments of $5,880 owed by SLEA.
From June 2012, through November 2012, the Company subleased on a month by month basis a corporate apartment for the Company’s CEO. The monthly sublease was $1,375 per month.
On November 17, 2010, PDRx entered into a sublease, as amended, to rent space in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

There are no material proceedings pending or threatened against ADOL. PDRx is a plaintiff in a law suit against HealthBridge Management, Inc, (“Healthbridge”) for non-payment of monies owed for services rendered. HealthBridge has answered the claim with a countersuit against PDRx. The outcome is unknown, legal expenses have been incurred and additional expenses will be forthcoming. The Company does not believe that the disposition or ultimate resolution of existing claims or lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company. When and if it appears probable in management's judgment that the Company would incur monetary damages or other costs in connection with any claims or proceedings, and such costs can be reasonably estimated, liabilities will be recorded in the financial statements and charges will be recorded against earnings.
NOTE 10 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $14,333,703 and a working capital deficit of $105,355. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Management’s Plans
The Company maintains daily operations and capital needs through the receipts of monthly amounts received pursuant to various license agreements.
NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated subsequent events through June 23, 2014, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
On April 3, 2014, the Company issued 35,000 shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) and received proceeds of $26,250. The shares were issued at $0.75 per share.
On April 15, 2014, the Company entered into a three month Consulting Agreement with a consultant (the “Consultant”) to assist the Company regarding the formation of strategic relationships with existing and new identified technology companies. Additionally, the Consultant will work with the executive management team in development market strategies and comprehensive video conferencing technology solution offerings including the bundling of these technologies, working with ADOL’s partner on developing licensing packages, creating new sales proposal formats for consultation services and technologies/products, and assisting with the development and placement of products and services. The Company will compensate the Consultant $100 per hour, for a minimum of 40 hours per week, for these services, which may be paid, at the option of the Company, in the form of cash or equity consideration.
Pursuant to the terms of the PAASA, on May 6, 2014, the Company notified MBS that the Company was terminating the PAASA. MBS has not concluded a Financing and the Company has not incurred any additional expenses.
On July 14, 2014, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware a Certificate of Designation of the Series B Preferred Stock. Among other terms, the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows:
The Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon shall, with respect to rights on liquidation, winding up and dissolution, rank senior to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share issued and outstanding of the Company and the Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
The holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive an annual dividend at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. Such dividend can be paid in cash or in the issuance of additional Series B Preferred Shares.
Each share of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock shall automatically convert (the “Mandatory Conversion”) and without the payment of additional consideration by the Holder thereof, into shares of Common Stock on the Mandatory Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined) at a conversion rate of seventy-five percent (75%) of the price of the Common Stock sold for cash in a non-affiliated equity transaction (the “Equity Price”). The Mandatory Conversion Date shall be the date that the five (5) day weighted average trading price of the Common Stock exceeds 110% of the Equity Price.
At any time, or upon receipt of a redemption notice by the Company, the Holder will have twenty (20) days to elect to convert the Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock at a price per share equal to a twenty-five percent (25%) discount to the most recent Common Stock price per share paid by any non-affiliated investor in a subsequent financing to the Series B Preferred Stock.
On June 18, 2014, pursuant to a consulting agreement, the Company issued 911,233 shares of common stock to Makena (see note 9).
Management has determined that there are no further events subsequent to the balance sheet date that should be disclosed in these financial statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2014
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
BUSINESS
American Doctors Online, Inc. (the “Company” or “ADOL”) was formed in the State of Delaware on September 17, 1999. ADOL owns four U.S. patents and has three pending patent applications. These patents cover the essential core processes required for the delivery of telehealth and telemedicine services. The Company’s business model is to license to telehealth and/or telemedicine providers one or more of the Company’s patents pursuant to non-exclusive agreements with terms and conditions similar to other licensing agreements involving medical related Intellectual property. The Company believes its’ intellectual property includes the fundamental methodologies inherent to the provision of telehealth and/or telemedicine.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the stated periods have been made. Except as described below, these adjustments consist only of normal and recurring adjustments. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with a reading of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in this Registration Statement. Interim results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of future results for the full year.
ADOL receives fees pursuant to a Management Services and License Agreement with PhoneDOCTORx, LLC, (“PDRx”). PDRx, is a Massachusetts limited liability company, owned by five physicians, who collectively own over 70% of ADOL. Based on the common control and ownership of ADOL and PDRx, PDRx is considered a variable interest entity, of which ADOL is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PDRx. ADOL exerts no influence on, or has any involvement in the practice of medicine by PDRx’s clinical staff.
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Company and PDRx. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY
The Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of PDRx based primarily on qualitative factors. Specifically, PDRx was formed at the direction of the Company. PDRx is managed and effectively controlled, other than related to the provision of medical services, by the Company through common ownership, and a substantial portion of PDRx revenues accrue to the Company in the form of management fees. The carrying value of the assets and liabilities of PDRx included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are as follows:
2014 | 2013 | |||||||

F-19 |
EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the 2012 JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As an emerging growth company, we can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation of stock-based compensation, the allowance for doubtful accounts and impairment of patents.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original term of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Pursuant to licenses entered into by PDRx and their customers, the Company bills the customer monthly and records the corresponding accounts receivable due from its licensees. The Company extends credit of up to forty five (45) days from invoice date. The Company provides allowance for losses through a provision for losses charged to expenses. Receivables are charged against the allowance for losses when management believes collectability of the principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing receivables, based on evaluation of the collectability of the accounts and prior loss experience. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluations, this estimate is susceptible to significant change in the near term.
PATENTS
The Company capitalizes legal fees and filing costs associated with the development and filing of its patents. Patents are generally amortized over an estimated useful life of 17 years using the straight-line method beginning on the issue date. Amortization expense of $2,580 and $2,368 was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost, and depreciation is provided by use of straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:
Office equipment and furniture | 5 years |
Computer hardware and software | 3 years |
The Company's property and equipment consisted of the following at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Depreciation expense of $9,501 and $13,021was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
F-20 |
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC 605 requires that four basic criteria are met (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery of products and services has occurred, (3) the fee is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.
The Company recognizes revenue during the period in which the licensed products are utilized. PDRx, through the sub-licensing of the ADOL patents, provides remote covering physician consultations via audio and/or video conferencing technologies. It provides Extended Care Facilities (“ECF”), ECF nurses, patients and their families’ confidential, real-time access to Board Certified physicians in non-urgent, urgent and emergent care settings through a state-of-the-art medical call center. PDRx through sub-licenses of ADOL’s patented telehealth / telemedicine technology provides medical services including face-to-face, real-time access to covering physicians, resulting in reduction of unnecessary and avoidable transfers and readmissions to the Emergency Department.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying value of the Company’s accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short term nature. The carrying value of convertible notes payable, stockholder approximates fair value because the terms are similar to prevailing market rates.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the estimated future tax effects, calculated at the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time of realization. The Company records a valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment.
ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. The Company classifies interest and penalties as a component of interest and other expenses. To date, the Company has not been assessed, nor has the Company paid, any interest or penalties.
The Company measures and records uncertain tax positions by establishing a threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized. The Company’s tax years subsequent to 2005 remain subject to examination by federal and state tax jurisdictions.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), after deducting preferred stock dividends accumulated during the period, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. The following potentially dilutive securities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share because their impact was anti-dilutive.

ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The fair value of our common stock options are estimated using the Black Scholes option-pricing model.
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options and warrants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which was developed for use in estimating the fair value of options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. This model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility of the underlying stock and the expected life of stock options. Projected data related to the expected volatility of stock options is based on the average volatility of the trading prices of comparable companies and the expected life of stock options is based upon the term and vesting schedules of the options. Changes in these subjective assumptions can materially affect the fair value of the estimate, and therefore the existing valuation models do not provide a precise measure of the fair value of our stock options and warrants. The expected dividend rate is zero as the Company does not expect to pay or declare any cash dividends on common stock. The risk-free rates for the expected terms of the stock options are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.
The Company accounts for stock awards issued to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The measurement date is the earlier of (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete.
The Company estimates the fair value of shares of common stock issued for services based on the price of shares of the Company’s common stock sold in contemporaneous private placements of offerings on the date shares are granted.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB and the SEC did not have, or are not believed by management to have, a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

Pursuant to this appointment, Mr. Hollander earned 50% of the additional shares on the six month anniversary of the Effective Date and will earn 50% on the one year anniversary of the Effective Date. Accordingly, the 520,754 shares of common stock, with a value of $260,377 were recorded as deferred equity compensation and are included in the equity section on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company valued the common stock at $0.50 per share, the same value as the then most recent sales of common stock. The Company is amortizing the deferred equity compensation over the twelve month term, and has included $130,188 in stock compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The balance of $86,793 in deferred equity compensation will be amortized on a monthly basis of $21,698 from July through October 2014.

NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
DEFERRED EQUITY COMPENSATION
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company’s CFO was issued 520,754 shares of common stock. The common stock was valued at $260,377, equal to $0.50 per share, the same value as the most recent sales of common stock. The Company is amortizing the deferred equity compensation over the twelve month term, and has included $130,188 in stock compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The balance of $86,793 in deferred equity compensation will be amortized on a monthly basis of $21,698 from April through October 2014.
COMMON STOCK
On June 18, 2014, pursuant to a consulting agreement, the Company issued 911,233 shares of common stock to Makena (see note 9). The Company recorded an expense of $455,617 for the issuance, based on a per share price in the most recent private placements of $0.50 per share.
SALE OF SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK
On November 13, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the Company to sell 4,000,000 shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), at $0.75 per share (see note 11).
On April 3, 2014, the Company received proceeds of $26,250 from the sale of 35,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The shares were issued at $0.75 per share.
The Series B Preferred Stock and any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon shall, with respect to rights on liquidation, winding up and dissolution, rank senior to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) issued and outstanding of the Company and the Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding.
The holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive an annual dividend at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. Such dividend can be paid in cash or in the issuance of additional Series B Preferred Shares.
Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall automatically convert (the “Mandatory Conversion”) and without the payment of additional consideration by the Holder thereof, into shares of Common Stock on the Mandatory Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined) at a conversion rate of seventy-five percent (75%) of the price of the Common Stock sold for cash in a non-affiliated equity transaction (the “Equity Price”). The Mandatory Conversion Date shall be the date that the five (5) day weighted average trading price of the Common Stock exceeds 110% of the Equity Price.
At any time, or upon receipt of a redemption notice by the Company, the Holder will have twenty (20) days to elect to convert the Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock at a price per share equal to a twenty-five percent (25%) discount to the most recent Common Stock price per share paid by any non-affiliated investor in a subsequent financing to the Series B Preferred Stock.
Because the Series B convertible preferred stock is convertible into a variable number of shares of the Company’s stock, determined with referenced to a fixed dollar amount, the fair value of the conversion option, which approximates its intrinsic value, is required to be presented as a liability. Accordingly, $35,000 is presented as Series B convertible preferred stock obligation, a liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2014. The excess of the fair value of the conversion option over the proceeds received was recorded as interest expense of $8,750 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
STOCK OPTIONS
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company adopted the 2007 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the “2007 Plan”).

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Due to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets, the deferred tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance at June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013.
As of June 30, 2014, the Company had a tax net operating loss carry forward of approximately $987,000. Any unused portion of this carry forward expires in 2030. Utilization of this loss may be limited in the event of an ownership change pursuant to IRS Section 382.

LEASE AGREEMENTS
The Company utilizes office space in Fairhaven, Massachusetts that is leased from a third party by SLEA, the tenant of the space. There was no formal agreement between the Company and SLEA through June 30, 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded rent expense of $35,281 and $8,000, respectively. The 2013 expense was related to a lease for a satellite office for PDRx (terminated July 2013).
LITIGATION
There are no material proceedings pending or threatened against ADOL. PDRx is a plaintiff in a law suit against HealthBridge Management, Inc, (“Healthbridge”) for non-payment of monies owed for services rendered. HealthBridge has answered the claim with a countersuit against PDRx. The outcome is unknown, legal expenses have been incurred and additional expenses will be forthcoming. The Company does not believe that the disposition or ultimate resolution of existing claims or lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company. When and if it appears probable in management's judgment that the Company would incur monetary damages or other costs in connection with any claims or proceedings, and such costs can be reasonably estimated, liabilities will be recorded in the financial statements and charges will be recorded against earnings.
NOTE 10 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of June 30, 2014 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $15,524,096 and a working capital deficit of $609,967. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Management’s Plans
The Company currently plans to satisfy its cash requirements for the next 12 months though it’s current cash, sales, and raising funds in capital raise transactions and if necessary by borrowing from its officers and directors or companies affiliated with its officers and directors. The Company maintains daily operations and capital needs through the receipts of monthly amounts received pursuant to various license and sub-license agreements, however the Company anticipates that it will need a minimum of $180,000 to continue operations for the next twelve (12) months. ADOL believes it will meet its cash requirements although it has no agreements in place for a capital raise transaction or from any of its officers or directors.
NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated subsequent events through September 2, 2014, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
On July 2, 2014 the Company issued 8,000 shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) and received proceeds of $6,000. The shares were issued at $0.75 per share.
On July 14, 2014, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware a Certificate of Designation of the Series B Preferred Stock. See Note 7.
On August 19, 2014, the Company issued 136,667 shares of Series B Preferred Stock in settlement of $102,500 of the fees owed pursuant to a consulting agreement (see Note 9). The shares were issued based on the most recent price paid for the Series B Preferred Stock.
Management has determined that there are no further events subsequent to the balance sheet date that should be disclosed in these financial statements.
