Item 1. Business


Company Overview

 

OPTIMIZERx finished the fourth quarter with revenues of $1,810,610 bringing revenue for fiscal 2013 to a total of $4,957,016, an increase of 149% over 2012. We achieved net income of $215,847 for the year. Our year end also recognizes a onetime adjustment relative to our cost of goods sold and reflects a change in accounting procedures for these expenses. Prior reporting was based upon how the revenue share expenses were paid per the agreements held with OPTIMIZERx’s channel partners. The change in accounting process will now accrue the expense as it is incurred.

 

Our continued growth in revenues is again primarily driven by our SampleMD content delivery solution. During the 2013 fiscal year, OPTIMIZERx delivered some 1,122,589 new ePrescriptions with co-pay coupons or free sample vouchers helping patients more affordably start and stay on their prescribed medications.

 

We continue to be very enthusiastic about our growth and the state of our core business. OPTIMIZERx continues to be resilient in growing our business throughout the year and is a . Its a testament to the core employee base and the dedication of its management and employees alike to move the organization forward. We have gained the confidence of pharmaceutical manufacturers and partners, and continue to add new clients and partners that increases our offering portfolio and expands our network reach.

 

During the second half of the year we have initiated a major tgechnology undertaking to develop SampleMD 2.0. This effort is focused on moving our technology from flash to HTML 5 based that will improve our response times and user interfaces and offer infinite scalability to support our expected growth. Additionally, this work focuses on building modularity for ease of adding new features and functions to the core solution while simplifying the integration process with future partners and other solution providers. On top of building out our updated software solution, we are also updating our infrastructure by replacing and updating our computers in a high availability environment, taking greater precautions for security and building out the architecture to facilitate disaster recovery with a secondary facilitated computer environment. This investment will increase performance, simplify integrations, insure availability and protect the investments of our shareholders. It is anticipated that the release of SampleMD 2.0 be fully implemented by April 2014.

 

Initial market reaction to the OPTIMIZERx announcement of its emerging OPTIMIZEHR consulting practice has been very positive as we have engaged in our first two (2) major pharmaceutical manufacture EHR strategy initiatives (pilot projects). Coordinating efforts with our strategic partners, we have collaborated to deliver sound strategy for each of these manufacturers. These efforts have resulted in ongoing and growing commitments by these clients with new and expanded contracts. OPTIMIZERx will continue to work with its partners in building out this practice as more clients are interested in Drug File Integration, Sales Force Training and Strategy.

 

Additionally, we are expanding our partnership with WPP and have completed account sales training of Grey Health account personnel to resell our services. We are also working with their other agencies, including Sudler, who have expressed a strong interest in additionally collaborating to sell and develop new services. The partnership has also been highly received by the pharmaceutical and EHR industries.

 

The results of our efforts are reflected in the growth and record revenues experienced during 2013 despite overcoming growth challenges presented in the year. The company remained very resilient and with the dedication of the employees and management, these challenges were overcome and the company remained profitable for the year and continued to generate cash from operations.

 

Going forward into the New Year, we continue to drive our three primary messages to the pharmaceutical industry:

 

1)SampleMD has the largest capacity to deliver targeted promotional and incentive messaging to physicians at point of prescription through interoperability with multiple disparate electronic health platforms; and

 

2)Electronic health platforms (EMRs, eRx, Patient Portals) are the most cost-effective way to reach physicians and patients, as opposed to external web sites that have been traditionally the focus of their non-rep marketing, and should therefore be an increasing focus for all pharmaceutical marketing dollars.

 

3)Pharmaceutical brands must move their Financial and Educational Support programs into the physicians ePrescribe workflow to increase prescriptions and fill rates. Samples are continuing to be restricted, as are pharmaceutical reps regular access and this is the most effective alternative channel with demonstrated strong ROI.

 

In summary, we remain committed to working with top organizations to provided better affordability and access to healthcare for the patients we serve. To achieve this, we will continue to work with leading providers in partnering to provide simple to use solutions. As compliance and regulatory requirements (i.e. meaningful use) continue to surround healthcare providers, OptimizeRx continues through its partnerships and internal R&D to become the “HUB” for providing access to these ease-of-use solutions.

 

With these continued efforts, we believe that SampleMD continues to be regarded as the innovative industry leader, setting the standards within this new frontier of digital EMR solution marketing for patient care.

Principal Products and Applications

 

Our principal products and applications can be summarized as follows:

 

§SampleMD - Today, almost 60% of doctors’ offices ban or limit drug representatives and the samples they offer. Although samples are still valuable, many healthcare systems and doctors are looking for an easier, more effective way to increase affordable access and adherence to their prescribed branded medications which led us during the past year to develop our direct to physician solution called SampleMD.

 

§SampleMD is a revolutionary virtual "Patient Support Center" that allows doctors and staff to access a universe of sample vouchers, co-pay coupons and other patient support through their EMR and/or e-Prescribe systems to search, print or electronically dispense directly to patients and a national network of pharmacies. SampleMD eliminates the need for physicians to manage and store physical drug samples by offering a more convenient and efficient way to allocate, administer and track samples and co-pay savings provided to their patients.

§OPTIMIZEHR – Our consulting practice focused at educating and working with pharmaceutical manufacturers on identifying, formulating, and implementing new eRx media strategies for promoting their product. Our consulting services include 1) Drug File Integration - a service to insure that the manufacturers drug is present in every ePrescribing platform available, 2) Sales Force Training – a service to educate the extended field sales force on this new integrated solution and what to look for within their client base to insure maximum exposure of their bands and 3) Strategy Development – a service that assists manufactures in identifying and building a competitive strategy to take advantage of this new digital frontier.

 

§OPTIMIZERx.com – Our Direct to Consumer WebSite is a portal to healthcare savings for patients to centrally review and participate in prescription and healthcare savings and support programs. To date, we have over 2.4 million members who have registered. We strive to provide all the information and guidance that patients undergoing long-term pharmaceutical treatments may require. Patients can search by their medication or their condition in order to access educational information regarding their condition, information regarding their medication, coupons for instant savings when they purchase their medications, information on free drug trials, and guidance to any other savings programs available to them.

 

Marketing and Sales

 

We continue to extend our marketing efforts to build both brand and capabilities awareness to the market. As mentioned above, we continue to actively participate in industry and partner events such as exlPharma and the ACE – Allscripts Users Conference as well as taking a lead sponsor position in the inaugural CBInet eRx and EHR conference in March of 2014. During the course of the year, we also initiated and delivered successful email marketing campaigns, webinar with CMI Compass on What Physicians want within their HER’s, as well as successful public relations and press release communications initiatives. We ran advertising campaigns through Pharma Exec magazine that netted several responses and qualified leads.

 

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

 

§Industry and Partner Events;
§Email Campaigns;
§Internet Marketing;
§Public Relations Campaigns;
§Physician Offices;
§Direct to Consumer Marketing;
§Trade Media  Advertising;
§Pharmacy Partners;
§Physician Organizations and Associations; and
§Strategic Relationships

 

Additionally, we have attracted and hired a highly seasoned Sales and Marketing Executive who has decades of global pharmaceutical marketing and sales experience at AstraZeneca and others as our Eastern Vice President of Sales.

Research and Development

 

We continue to invest in our technology and plan to release SampleMD 2.0 in 2014. This new and improved release will enhance the performance of our first version through quicker response times, easier integration to platform partners, modularity for the addition of new features and functions and an entirely updated user interface to speed and enhance the setup of new programs and campaigns. We will continue to offer reporting portal access to our clients with a new and improved user interface and updated reporting capabilities for monitoring program and campaign performance.

The SampleMD 2.0 release will also be supported by a new and updated infrastructure that is a high availability clustered environment with remote disaster recovery enabling us to be back up and running from the worst facility catastrophe in very short order.

We continue our commitment to educate both our direct and our extended teams through an understanding of all market dynamics that have the potential to affect our business in both the short and long term. Our primary goal is to help patients better afford and access the medicines their doctors prescribe, as well as other healthcare products and services they need. Based on this goal, we continually seek better ways to meet this mission through the use of improved technology, user feedback, and working closely with the pharmaceutical industry. We are continually seeking new ways we can engage the pharmaceutical industry to provide new support programs to patients in need of their products.

 

At OPTIMIZERx, we are still keen on the opinions and input that we gain from all stakeholders by which our products and solutions cross. From the prescribing clinicians that utilize our solutions to add value to the patients they serve, to the partners we use to leverage their channels for distribution and promotion of the services, we are able to greatly assist the pharmaceutical manufacturing clients that depend on our solutions to increase their brand awareness and assist patients in need of their offerings. This “Voice of the Stakeholder” is a mantra that we leverage in analyzing industry trends and market shifts and identifying enhancements and new offerings through our SampleMD™ solution. This effort involves all of our officers and directors as part of our continual research development team while monitoring new technologies, trends, services, and partnerships that can help us provide additional services and increased value to the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries and to the patients they serve.

 

Our technology roadmap for potential new solutions continues to grow as we continued to finalize the two development programs initiated this year featuring a live chat or conversation between the health provider and product manufacturer or service, as well as a one click way to request a representative visit. These solutions address major access barriers that limit doctors’ interaction with the manufacturer and allow the health system or provider to access needed information when they want it. As we are in collaboration with our partners, further content and information delivery solutions are being flushed out as we continue to integrate with new channels and partners

 

Under the leadership of the Director of Technology and Director of Software Development, whom were added late in 2011 to strengthen our core technical team, we have added an additional developer and a technical intern while leveraging a new development partner in Simple eSolutions, whom provided valuable architecture, system design and database management support on the SampleMD 2.0 effort. We also continued to work with the Engineering and Information Technology department of Oakland University in Rochester Michigan. As the University has opened the doors of its new medical school, it also brings highly skilled technology and application developers whom possess a solid knowledge of medical industry IT requirements.

 

Competition

 

SampleMD has faced some competition based on the growth in the space primarily by Physicians Interactive. As noted, we have filed a patent infringement suit against the company.

 

The OptimizeRx.com website continues to compete in the highly competitive pharmaceutical and healthcare advertising industry that is dominated by large well-known companies with established names, solid market niches, wide arrays of product offerings and marketing networks.  Our largest competitors include a variety of healthcare website publishers and networks that provide online advertising competition to OPTIMIZERx.com, including Quality Health, WebMD, McKesson, and Drugs.com.

 

Despite these competitors, we do not have major competition in our space of the market. We have been experiencing a growing list of potential partners whom either have content that want to deliver through the SampleMD engine and network, or whom have complementary technology and want to integrate our solution as a channel partner, expanding the reach to clinicians for OPTIMIZERx.

 

Intellectual Property

 

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

 

In addition, we have hired Harness, Dickey & Pierce, a nationally ranked IP firm, to further expand and protect our intellectual property. Through them, we have filed two additional patents on our technology. We also used the firm to file a patent infringement lawsuit against Physicians Interactive. Management believes the current and expanding IP will allow us to continue being the leader in this rapidly growing space.

OPTIMIZERx is a licensed trademark. SampleMD is a licensed trademark.

 

Our intellectual property is developed significantly each month.  Since inception, we have developed and launched OFFERx and ADHERxE, and we are further integrating these platforms to provide more robust offerings.  OPTIMIZERx.com and OFFERx are patent pending.

Government Regulation

 

Fraud and Abuse Laws

 

Anti-Kickback Statutes

 

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

 

False Claims Laws

 

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

 

Privacy and Security

  

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

 

Employees

 

As of March 31, 2014, we had 13 employees in addition to 4 contracted programmers through our established relationship with Simple eSolutions a technical and programming resources partner. Additionally we have one contracted business development individual targeting new EMR channel and pharma client.

 

Subsidiaries

 

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

 

Item 2. Properties

 

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

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

 

Aside from the following, we are not a party to any pending legal proceeding. We are not aware of any pending legal proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of our voting securities are adverse to us or have a material interest adverse to us.

 

On February 6, 2013, we filed a Complaint for Patent Infringement against Physicians Interactive Inc., Physicians Interactive Holdings,Inc. and Skyscape.com, in which we allege that one or more of those entities has infringed on United States Patent No. 8,341,015. As of September 30, 2013, the defendants responded denying the assertions made in our Complaint, but no further action has occurred in the case.

We recently learned of an action in New Jersey brought by Milton J. Wilson and the Milton Wilson 2000 Trust. Last November 2013, we were served notice that we would be added as an additional party to the case titled Milton Wilson et al. v. Continental Capital Corporation, C-289-06, in the Superior Court of New Jersey. There is an existing default judgment of roughly $1,000,000 in the case. We are uncertain of the substance of the allegations lodged against the existing defendants and now perhaps us, as we are likely now a party to the action. We intend to investigate and, if necessary, vigorously defend the matter. We hope to have more information in subsequent SEC filings.

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

 

Market Information

 

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

 

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

 

On March 18, 2014, the last sales price per share of our common stock was $1.70.

Penny Stock

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Holders of Our Common Stock

 

As of March 31, 2014, we had 22,809,586 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by 316 shareholders of record. 

 

Dividends

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

  1. We would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or

 

  2. Our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities, plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

 

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

 

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

We issued warrants to purchase 804,139 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $1.20 per share and a term of 5 years to placement agents in the raise.

 

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

 

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

 

A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

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

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

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

 

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012

 

Revenues

 

Our total revenue reported for year ended December 31, 2013 was $4,957,016, an increase from $1,989,086 from the prior year.

 

Our increased revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared with the prior year is a result of the continued viability of our SampleMD solution and the setup and integration fees for pharmaceutical manufacturers whom are participating within this offering. The bulk of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 came mainly from our core SampleMD solutions as opposed to our new consulting business. We expect revenues to increase on our consulting business for 2014. 

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses increased to $2,973,990 for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $2,328,648 for the year ended December 31, 2012. Our major expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 were salaries, wages and benefits of $1,319,712, professional fees of $552,824, stock-based compensation of $411,412, general and administrative expenses of $288,297, depreciation and amortization of $193,971, and consulting fees of $100,077. Our expenses increased in 2013 as compared with 2012 largely as a result of salaries, wages and benefits, professional fees and stock-based compensation.

 

We expect operating expenses to increase slightly, with the most increase coming as we will continue to add personnel to strengthen our operations, sales and marketing efforts going forward.

Net Loss

 

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $215,847, compared to net loss of $ $454,553 for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

We believe that our company is starting to show real signs of improvement with positive income this year. With increased sales forecasted for next year, we believe that we will achieve a small improvement to net income in 2014.  

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2013, we had total current assets of $2,696,978 and total assets in the amount of $4,008,020. Our total current liabilities as of December 31, 2013 were $1,968,652. We had working capital of $728,326 as of December 31, 2013.

Operating activities provided $1,132,628 in cash for the year ended December 31, 2013. Our revenue share payable of $1,103,084, stock-based compensation of $399,092, net income of $215,847 and depreciation and amortization of $193,791 were the primary components of our positive operating cash flow, offset mainly by accounts receivable of $950,166.

Investing activities used $298,648 during the year ended December 31, 2013 largely as a result of patent rights and website development costs.

On March 17, 2014, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with accredited investors pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 8,333,333 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, for $1.20 per share, or gross proceeds of $10,000,000. We used $6,000,000 of the proceeds to exercise our option to redeem Vicis Capital Master Fund’s holdings in our company. The balance of the proceeds will be used for working capital. With the financing and cash on hand, we have sufficient cash to operate our business for the next twelve months.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of December 31, 2013, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

Our critical accounting policies are set forth in Note 2 to the financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

 

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2013

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

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

 

The wholly-owned subsidiary, OptimizeRx Corporation, is a technology solutions company targeting the health care industry. Their objective is to bring better access to better care through connecting patients, physicians and pharmaceutical manufacturers through technology. Once defined as a marketing and advertising company through its consumer website, OptimizeRx is maturing as a technology solutions provider as it launched its direct to physician solution, SampleMD. SampleMD allows physicians to search, print and send available sample trial vouchers and/or co-pay coupons on behalf of their patients. The SampleMD solution can either sit on the doctor’s desktop or can be integrated into the ePrescribing or Electronic Medical Records applications. OptimizeRx solutions provide pharmaceutical manufacturers either a direct to consumer and/or direct to physician channels for communicating and promoting their products. It provides health care providers a means to provide sampling and coupons without having to physically store samples on site, and it provides better access and affordability to the patients.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.

 

Accounting Basis

The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting). The Company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year end.

 

Principles of Consolidation

The financial statements reflect the consolidated results of OptimizeRx Corporation (a Nevada corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiary OptimizeRx Corporation (a Michigan corporation). All material inter-company transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the accompanying financial statements, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2013

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, patent rights, web development costs, accounts payable, accounts payable – related party, accrued expenses and deferred revenue approximates the carrying amount of these financial instruments due to their short-term nature. The fair value of long-term debt, which approximates its carrying value, is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are reported at realizable value, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, which is estimated and recorded in the period the related revenue is recorded. The Company has a standardized approach to estimate and review the collectability of its receivables based on a number of factors, including the period they have been outstanding. Historical collection and payer reimbursement experience is an integral part of the estimation process related to allowances for doubtful accounts. In addition, the Company regularly assesses the state of its billing operations in order to identify issues, which may impact the collectability of these receivables or reserve estimates. Bad debt expense was $0 and $6,923 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Property and Equipment

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

 

Revenue Recognition and Revenue Share Expense

All revenue is recognized when it is earned. Revenues are generated either through the Company’s web-based activities, in which we earn revenue from advertising and lead generation activities, from our SampleMD activities by which we deliver eCoupons and eVouchers through a distribution network of ePrescribers and Electronic Health Record technology providers (channel partners), or from reselling services for other of our partners products that complement our business.

 

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

 

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

 

Based on the volume of transactions that are delivered through our channel partner network, we provide a revenue share to compensate the partner for their promotion of the campaign. Revenue shares are a negotiated percentage of the transaction fee depending upon if the revenue is generated through distributions and or redemptions and can also be specific to special considerations and campaigns. Traditionally, revenue share has been recognized between 25% and 50% of the transaction value. See Note 18.

 

Income Taxes

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

 

Use of Estimates

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

 

Concentration of Credit Risks

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

Research and Development

The Company’s key members are part of a continual research development team and monitor new technologies, trends, services and partnerships that can provide the Company with additional services, value to healthcare and pharmaceutical industries and to the patients it serves.

 

The Company seeks to educate team members through understanding of all market dynamics that have the potential to affect the business both short term and longer term. The primary goal is to help patients better afford and access the medicines their doctor prescribes, as well as other healthcare products and services they need. Based on this, the Company continually seeks better ways to meet this mission through technology, better user experiences and new ways to engage industries to provide new support for patients needing their products. The Company is always seeking new services and solutions to offer. At this time, the three current platforms provide robust opportunities and growth during the next five years.

 

Earnings Per Common and Common Equivalent Share

The computation of basic earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year plus common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise of warrants outstanding using the treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the year. Options, warrants and convertible preferred stock which are common stock equivalents are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the year ended December 31, 2013. They have not been included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the year ended December 31, 2012 since their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

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

 

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

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

NOTE 15 – INCOME TAXES

 

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company incurred net income of approximately $216,000 but has no tax liability. The Company began operations in 2007 and has previous net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $13,934,000 through December 31, 2012. The cumulative loss of approximately $13,718,000 will be carried forward and can be used through the year 2033 to offset future taxable income. In the future, the cumulative net operating loss carry-forward for income tax purposes may differ from the cumulative financial statement loss due to timing differences between book and tax reporting.

 

The provision for Federal income tax consists of the following for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

 

   2013  2012
Federal income tax (expense) benefit attributable to:          
  Current operations  $(73,000)  $155,000 
  Valuation allowance   73,000    (155,000)
      Net provision for federal income tax  $0   $0 

 

The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 34% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows as of December 31, 2013 and 2012:

 

   2013  2012
Deferred tax asset attributable to:          
  Net operating loss carryover  $4,665,000   $4,738,000 
  Valuation allowance   (4,665,000)   (4,738,000)
      Net deferred tax asset  $0   $0 

 

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $13,718,000 for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.

 

NOTE 16 – CONTINGENT LIABILITY

 

On January 14, 2013, the Company hired a new CEO. The employment agreement required annual compensation of $175,000 that was to be accrued and deferred until at least January 1, 2014. Additionally, the agreement required the issuance of 2,000,000 options with an exercise price of $1.00 for a term of five years. The options were not exercisable until at least January 1, 2014, and were only exercisable after reaching certain financial terms and conditions. Due to these restrictions, no accrual was made for the issuance of these options.

 

On September 20, 2013, the Company entered into a separation agreement with the CEO. As part of the terms of the separation agreement, the accrued compensation up to the date of separation was paid and the options were terminated.

NOTE 19 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (CONTINUED)

 

Placement agents in the offering received commissions equal to approximately 9.7% of gross proceeds, for an aggregate commission of approximately $970,000, including reimbursements for their reasonable out of pocket expenses. Placement agents also received warrants to purchase up to 804,139 shares of the Company's common stock with an exercise price of $1.20 per share and a term of 5 years. The agent warrants also provide for piggy-back registration rights.

 

The Company used a portion of the net proceeds of the offering to exercise the securities redemption option agreement, as amended, with Vicis Capital Master Fund that provides the Company with an option to purchase all of the outstanding shares and derivative securities held by Vicis for total payment of $6,000,000.

On November 5, 2012, LDM Group, LLC (“LDM”) commenced an action against the Company in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, Eastern Division. The complaint alleged that OptimizeRx infringed on a patent issued on February 21, 2012 in favor of LDM. LDM alleged that its patent is an invention of a method for making available targeted content to a prescription medication patient while the patient is still in the physician’s office. According to LDM, the Company’s Integrated SampleMD uses systems and methods that perform the elements of the LDM patent and, therefore, infringes on its patent.  On February 25, 2013, a Settlement and Patent License Agreement was reached with LDM, and LDM subsequently dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice.  On April 23, 2013, however, LDM reinstituted the patent infringement action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, Eastern Division claiming that OptimizeRx breached the Settlement and Patent License Agreement. The Company continued to vigorously defend the OptimizeRx technology, preparing for litigation, depositions and patent protection while also positioning for legal actions against LDM. On February 28, 2014, a Settlement Agreement was reached with LDM, and the judge dismissed the case with prejudice on March 18, 2014. Per the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company paid a one-time fee of $400,000 and will pay LDM the greater of $0.37 per patient discount distributed by OptimizeRx or 10% of the total revenue earned by OptimizeRx for distribution and redemption of all patent discounts.

 

In accordance with ASC 855-10, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to December 31, 2013 through the date these financial statements were issued and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements other than the events described above.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

No events occurred requiring disclosure under Item 304 of Regulation S-K during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, being December 31, 2013. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based upon that evaluation, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As a result of this assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. Our management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines; and (iii) insufficient levels of supervision and review of the accounting and financial reporting process.

 

We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we hope to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending December 31, 2014: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for non-accelerated filers set forth in Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting are or will be capable of preventing or detecting all errors or all fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements, due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns may occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk.

David A. Harrell

 

Mr. Harrell founded the Company in January of 2006 and has served as our President and Chief Executive Officer.  He became a director when the Company changed from a limited liability to a corporation in 2007.  Mr. Harrell was the Vice President of Development for Meridian Incorporated from 2003-2005 and, prior to that, had been Vice President of Sales and Marketing since 1999 at Advance Graphic Systems.  Mr. Harrell has spent two decades leading sales, marketing and business development units within the pharmaceutical and national retail industries. Prior to his work at Advance Graphic Systems, Mr. Harrell served for ten years at SmithKline Beecham, specializing in the managed markets healthcare segment.  As part of the Integrated Health Division, Mr. Harrell was responsible for contracting and achieving regional revenue growth for SmithKline Beecham's four business units: Pharmaceuticals, Consumer Health, Clinical Labs and Diversified Pharmaceutical Services (PBM).

Significant Employees

 

We have no significant employees other than our officers and directors.

 

Family Relationships

 

There are no family relationships between or among the directors, executive officers or persons nominated or chosen by us to become directors or executive officers.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

To the best of our knowledge, during the past ten years, none of the following occurred with respect to a present or former director, executive officer, or employee: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

 

Audit Committee

 

We do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee. The entire board of directors performs the functions of an audit committee, but no written charter governs the actions of the board of directors when performing the functions of that would generally be performed by an audit committee. The board of directors approves the selection of our independent accountants and meets and interacts with the independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial reporting. In addition, the board of directors reviews the scope and results of the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with management and the independent accountants our annual operating results, considers the adequacy of our internal accounting procedures and considers other auditing and accounting matters including fees to be paid to the independent auditor and the performance of the independent auditor.

 

We do not have an audit committee financial expert because of the size of our company and our board of directors at this time. We believe that we do not require an audit committee financial expert at this time because we retain outside consultants who possess these attributes as needed.

 

For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, the board of directors:

 

  1. Reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management, and
  2. Reviewed and discussed the written disclosures and the letter from our independent auditors on the matters relating to the auditor's independence.

Based upon the board of directors’ review and discussion of the matters above, the board of directors authorized inclusion of the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 to be included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
