NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete audited financial statements. The accompanying unaudited financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The information furnished in this report reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for each period presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2026 or for any future period.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company evaluates the need to consolidate affiliates based on standards set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, LifeMD Pharmacy, and LifeMD PC, the Company’s affiliated, variable interest entity in which we hold a controlling financial interest. On November 4, 2025, the Company sold its interest in our majority-owned subsidiary WorkSimpli to Lion Buyer, LLC. WorkSimpli is classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Cash

 

The Company maintains deposits in financial institutions that may, at times, exceed amounts guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. These balances could be impacted if one or more of the financial institutions in which we deposit monies fails or is subject to other adverse conditions in the financial or credit markets. We have never experienced any losses related to these balances.

 

Variable Interest Entities

 

In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, the Company determines whether any legal entity in which the Company becomes involved is a variable interest entity (a “VIE”) and subject to consolidation. This determination is based on whether an entity has sufficient equity at risk to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or whose equity investors lack any of the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and whether the interest will absorb portions of a VIE’s expected losses or receive portions of its expected residual returns and are contractual, ownership, or pecuniary in nature and that change with changes in the fair value of the entity’s net assets. A reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE and must consolidate it when that party has a variable interest, or combination of variable interests, that provides it with a controlling financial interest. A party is deemed to have a controlling financial interest if it meets both of the power and losses/benefits criteria. The power criterion is the ability to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance. The losses/benefits criterion is the obligation to absorb losses from, or right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

 

 

The Company determined that the LifeMD PC entity, the Company’s affiliated network of medical Professional Corporations and medical Professional Associations administratively led by LifeMD Southern Patient Medical Care, P.C., is a VIE and subject to consolidation. LifeMD PC and the Company do not have any stockholders in common. LifeMD PC is owned by licensed physicians, and the Company maintains a managed service agreement with LifeMD PC whereby we provide all non-clinical services to LifeMD PC. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of LifeMD PC and must consolidate, as we have both the power to direct the activities of LifeMD PC that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity and we have the obligation to absorb the losses. As a result, the Company presents the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of LifeMD PC as part of the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company. There is no non-controlling interest upon consolidation of LifeMD PC.

 

Total net loss for LifeMD PC was approximately $3.1 million and $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Total assets and liabilities for the LifeMD PC were approximately $331 thousand and $528 thousand, respectively, as of March 31, 2026 and $43 thousand and $360 thousand, respectively, as of December 31, 2025.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The Company prepares its unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five-step model to recognize revenue from contracts with customers:

 

  1. Identification of the contract with a customer;

 

  2. Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

 

  3. Determination of the transaction price;

 

  4. Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

 

  5. Recognition of revenue when, or as, the performance obligations are satisfied.

 

Telehealth Subscription Revenue

 

For the Company’s telehealth subscription arrangements, the Company provides both one-time and subscription-based access to its telehealth platform. The Company offers monthly and multi-month subscriptions dependent upon the subscriber’s enrollment selection. For one-time consultations, the Company has determined that there is one performance obligation that is delivered as of a point in time. For subscription-based access, the Company has determined that there is one performance obligation that is delivered over time, as the Company allows the subscriber continuous access to the telehealth platform for the time period of the subscription. The telehealth platform access is a stand-ready obligation that is satisfied over the subscription period.

 

The Company also offers bundled arrangements in which a subscriber receives subscription-based access to the Company’s telehealth platform as well as prescribed medication. The Company has determined that there are two performance obligations related to these bundles: (i) one performance obligation for the subscription-based service that is a stand-ready obligation that is satisfied over the subscription period and (ii) one performance obligation for the prescribed medication that is delivered as of a point in time. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on their relative standalone selling prices, determined from the prices at which the Company separately sells these products and services. Revenue related to contracts with multiple performance obligations was approximately $4.1 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

 

 

Additionally, to fulfill its promise to customers for contracts that include the sale of prescription products, the Company maintains relationships with certain third-party pharmacies, which are licensed mail order pharmacies providing prescription fulfillment to the Company’s customers. The third-party pharmacies fill prescription orders for customers who have received a prescription from a LifeMD PC provider. The Company may account for prescription product revenue as the principal or agent in the arrangement with its customers depending on the agreement with the third-party pharmacy. The following factors are evaluated to determine if the Company acts as principal or agent in the arrangement: (i) whether the Company has sole discretion in determining which pharmacy fills a customer’s prescription; (ii) whether the Company obtains control of the product; (iii) whether the Company is primarily responsible to the customer for the satisfactory fulfillment and acceptability of the order; (iv) whether the Company is responsible for refunds of the prescription medication after transfer of control to the customer; and (v) whether the Company sets all listed prices for the prescription products. Based on evaluation of these factors, the Company accounts for prescription product revenue as either principal or agent in the arrangement depending on the specific agreement terms with the third-party pharmacy.

 

Telehealth Product Revenue

 

For the Company’s product-based arrangements, the Company has determined that there is a single performance obligation, which is the delivery of the product. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when control transfers to the customer, which occurs upon shipment.

 

The Company also provides subscription-based arrangements involving recurring shipments of products. Revenue from these recurring product shipments is recognized at the time each shipment obligation is fulfilled.

 

Provisions for discounts, returns, allowances, customer rebates, and similar adjustments are recorded as reductions to gross revenue in the same period in which related sales are recognized. Discounts and rebates are known at the time of sale, while estimates for returns and allowances are based on historical data and applied consistently across the Company’s product portfolio.

 

Customer returns and rebates on telehealth revenues approximated $1.6 million and $776 thousand, during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company had the following disaggregated revenue:

  

   Three Months Ended March 31, 
   2026   %   2025   % 
Telehealth subscription revenue  $30,407,827    61%  $30,127,536    59%
Telehealth product revenue   19,755,129    39%   20,760,363    41%
Total revenues, net  $50,162,956    100%  $50,887,899    100%

 

Deferred Revenues

 

The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received or unconditionally due in advance of its performance. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company has deferred revenue of approximately $12.0 million and $10.8 million, respectively, which have been recorded as accrued contract liabilities and represent the following: (1) $10.7 million and $9.2 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, related to obligations on telehealth in-process monthly or yearly contracts with customers and (2) $1.3 million and $1.6 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, related to obligations for telehealth products which the customer has not yet obtained control due to non-shipment of the product.

 

The amount of revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2026, that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2025, was $7.8 million. The Company expects to recognize all of the deferred revenue related to future performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as of March 31, 2026 as revenue by March 31, 2027.

 

The following table summarizes deferred revenue activities for the periods presented:

  

       
   Three Months Ended March 31, 
   2026   2025 
Beginning of period  $10,807,773   $17,097,854 
Additions   50,680,429    51,046,493 
Revenue recognized   (49,471,362)   (50,849,157)
End of period  $12,016,840   $17,295,190 

 

 

Leases

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are included in right-of-use assets on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets. The current and long-term components of operating lease liabilities are included in the current operating lease liabilities and noncurrent operating lease liabilities, respectively, on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

 

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Certain leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease. The Company only considers these options if the options to extend are reasonably certain of being exercised and options to terminate are not reasonably certain not to exercise. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the balance sheet.

 

Accounts Receivable, net

 

Accounts receivable principally consist of amounts due from third-party merchant processors, who process our subscription revenues; the merchant accounts balance receivable represents the charges processed by the merchants that have not yet been deposited with the Company. The unsettled merchant receivable amount normally represents processed sale transactions from the final one to three days of the month, with collections being made by the Company within the first week of the following month. Management determines the need, if any, for an allowance for future credits to be granted to customers, by regularly evaluating aggregate customer refund activity, coupled with the consideration and current economic conditions in its evaluation of an allowance for future refunds and chargebacks. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the reserve for sales returns and allowances was approximately $353 thousand. For all periods presented, the sales returns and allowances were recorded in accrued expenses on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

 

Inventory

 

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, inventory primarily consisted of finished goods, raw materials and packaging related to the Company’s OTC products included in the telehealth product revenue section of the table above. Inventory is maintained at the Company’s third-party warehouse location in Wyoming and at various Amazon fulfillment centers. The Company also maintains inventory at a company managed warehouse in Pennsylvania.

 

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost determined on an average cost basis. Management compares the cost of inventory with the net realizable value and an allowance is made for writing down inventory to net realizable, if lower. As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company recorded an inventory reserve of approximately $153 thousand.

 

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s inventory consisted of the following:

  

   March 31,   December 31, 
   2026   2025 
Finished goods  $2,431,064   $2,071,988 
Raw materials and packaging components   899,464    854,980 
Inventory reserve   (153,392)   (153,392)
Total inventory, net  $3,177,136   $2,773,576 

 

Equipment

 

Equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Estimated useful lives generally range from three to five years for computers, furniture, fixtures and office equipment.

 

 

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company has the following amounts related to depreciable assets:

   

   March 31,   December 31, 
   2026   2025 
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment  $3,312,385   $3,272,857 
Computers   945,336    879,686 
Total equipment, at cost   4,257,721    4,152,543 
Accumulated depreciation   (1,997,284)   (1,707,826)
Total equipment, net  $2,260,437   $2,444,717 

 

Depreciation expense was $289 thousand and $155 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

 

Product Deposit

 

Many of our vendors require deposits when a purchase order is placed for goods or fulfillment services. These deposits typically range from 10% to 33% of the total purchased amount. Our vendors include a credit memo within their final invoice, recognizing the deposit amount previously paid. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company has approximately $332 thousand and $320 thousand, respectively, of product deposits with multiple vendors for the purchase of raw materials or finished goods. The Company’s history of product deposits with its inventory vendors, creates an implicit purchase commitment equaling the total expected product acceptance cost in excess of the product deposit. As of March 31, 2026, the Company approximates its implicit purchase commitments to be $592 thousand, of which the majority are with two vendors that manufacture the Company’s finished goods inventory for its LifeMD brand.

 

Capitalized Software Costs

 

The Company capitalizes certain internal payroll costs and third-party costs related to internally developed software and amortizes these costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, generally three years. The Company does not sell internally developed software other than through the use of subscription service. Certain development costs not meeting the criteria for capitalization, in accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software, are expensed as incurred. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company capitalized a net amount of $10.9 million and $10.6 million, respectively, related to internally developed software costs which are amortized over the useful life and included in development costs on our unaudited consolidated statement of operations.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets are comprised of: (1) a customer relationship asset, (2) the Cleared Technologies, PBC (“Cleared”) trade name, (3) Cleared developed technology, (4) a purchased license, and (5) the Optimal Human Health MD (“OHHMD”) brand. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated lives using the straight-line method. Costs incurred to renew or extend the term of recognized intangible assets are capitalized and amortized over the useful life of the asset which typically range from one year to ten years.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets include equipment and capitalized software. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If such assets are considered to be impaired, an impairment is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair values of the assets. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company determined that no events or changes in circumstances existed that would indicate any impairment of its long-lived assets.

 

Advertising and Marketing Costs

 

Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling and marketing expenses within the unaudited consolidated statement of operations. Advertising costs that relate to future advertising periods are recorded as prepaid expenses and amortized to selling and marketing expenses over the period in which the related advertising occurs. Advertising and marketing expenses were $29.9 million and $22.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company files corporate federal, state, and local tax returns. WorkSimpli filed a tax return in Puerto Rico. The Company records current and deferred taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between tax basis of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements, based upon the enacted rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company establishes a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company periodically assesses the value of its deferred tax asset, a majority of which has been generated by a history of net operating losses. Management determines the necessity for a valuation allowance. In 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets based on the historical loss and the uncertainty regarding the ability to project future taxable income. In future periods if the Company is able to generate income, the Company may reduce or eliminate the valuation allowance. ASC 740 also provides a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Using this guidance, a company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position in its financial statements only if it is more likely-than-not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50%) that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. No reserve for uncertain tax positions has been recorded. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position would be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company’s tax returns for all years since December 31, 2022, remain open to audit by all related taxing authorities.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718, Share-Based Payment. Under this guidance compensation cost is recognized at fair value on the date of the grant and amortized over the respective vesting or service period. The fair value of options at the date of grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected option life is derived from assumed exercise rates based upon historical exercise patterns and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of the Company’s common shares using daily price observations over an observation period that approximates the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate approximates the U.S. Treasury yield curve rate in effect at the time of grant for periods similar to the expected option life. Due to limited history of forfeitures, the Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. The fair value of restricted stock is calculated using the quoted market price on the date of grant.

 

Segments

 

On November 4, 2025, we sold our majority ownership interest in WorkSimpli to Lion Buyer, LLC. WorkSimpli is classified as discontinued operations for the three months period ended March 31, 2025 presented in these unaudited consolidated financial statements. As a result, the Company’s portfolio of brands within continuing operations are managed as a single operating segment on a consolidated basis. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and is responsible for reviewing segment operating results to make determinations about resources to be allocated and to assess performance.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of a financial instrument is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities subject to ongoing fair value measurement are categorized and disclosed into one of the three categories depending on observable or unobservable inputs employed in the measurement. Hierarchical levels, which are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to the valuation of these assets or liabilities, are as follows:

 

  1. Level 1: Inputs that are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
  2. Level 2: Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.
  3. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities and that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

 

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value for all periods presented. The Company has no financial instruments that are valued using Level 3 inputs.

 

Concentrations of Risk

 

We are dependent on certain third-party manufacturers and pharmacies for fulfillment services, prescription medications, packaging, and finished goods. We believe that other contract manufacturers or third-party pharmacies could be quickly secured if any of our current manufacturers or pharmacies cease to perform adequately. As of March 31, 2026, three third-party pharmacies supplied 93% of the Company’s total fulfillment services. As of December 31, 2025, one third-party pharmacy supplied 71% of the Company’s total fulfillment services.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and provide more detailed information about the types of expenses included in certain expense captions in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, which clarifies the effective date of ASU 2024-03 for interim reporting periods. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments in this update should be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the disclosures in the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, to simplify and modernize the accounting for internal-use software costs. The amendments remove references to prescriptive software development stages and clarify that capitalization of eligible software development costs begins when management authorizes and commits to funding the project and it is probable the project will be completed, and the software will be used as intended. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance may be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or using a modified approach for in-process projects. The Company is evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

All other accounting standards updates that have been issued or proposed by the FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the unaudited consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
