OPTIMIZERX CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(in thousands, excepts share and per share data)
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF
PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements include OptimizeRx Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”, “we”,
“our”, or “us”).
We are a digital health technology company enabling
care-focused engagement between life sciences organizations, healthcare providers, and patients at critical junctures throughout the patient
care journey. Connecting over two million U.S. healthcare providers and millions of their patients through an intelligent technology platform
embedded within a proprietary point-of-care network, as well as mass digital communications channels, OptimizeRx helps life sciences organizations
engage and support their customers.
The condensed consolidated financial statements
for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared by us without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly
our financial position at March 31, 2024, and our results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for
the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, have been made. Those adjustments consist of normal and recurring adjustments. The
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, has been derived from the audited consolidated condensed balance sheet
as of that date.
Certain information and note disclosures, including
a detailed discussion about the Company’s significant accounting policies, normally included in our annual consolidated financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with a reading of the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2024 (“Form
10-K”).
The results of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
On October 24, 2023, the Company acquired 100%
of the issued and outstanding preferred and common stock of Healthy Offers, Inc., a Nevada corporation d/b/a Medicx Health (“Medicx
Health”) - See Part II, Item 8. Financials Statements and Supplementary Data; Note 3 - Acquisitions in our Form 10-K for additional
information regarding this transaction.
The following presents the pro-forma consolidated
statement of operations as if Medicx Health had been included in the consolidated results of the Company for the three months ended March
31, 2023:
Pro-forma consolidated
statement of operations | |
| |
Revenue | |
$ | 21,031 | |
Net loss | |
| (8,632 | ) |
These amounts have been calculated after applying
the Company’s accounting policies, adjusting Medicx Health results to reflect the additional amortization that would have been charged
assuming the fair value adjustments to intangible assets had been applied on January 1, 2023, interest expense associated with the term
loan and elimination of interest income on short-term investments that were used to fund the acquisition.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company
disposed of its non-core Access solutions - See Part II, Item 8. Financials Statements and Supplementary Data; Note 7 - Goodwill and
Intangible Assets in our Form 10-K for additional information regarding this transaction. A pro-forma statement of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2023, is not presented for this transaction as the pro-forma impacts were not material to the Company’s
consolidated results.
The Revenue presented in the pro-forma financial consolidated statement of operations data above includes $1,876 related to Access
and other non-core solutions for which no revenue was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2024, (see also the discussion
under Net Revenues in Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 in Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations).
NOTE 2 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07
(“ASU 2023-07”), Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07 requires annual
and interim disclosures that are expected to improve reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant
segment expenses. The provisions of ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods
within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting
ASU 2023-07.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”),
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 addresses investor requests for more transparency about
income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid
information. This update also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The provisions
of ASU 2023-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating
the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(in thousands, excepts share and per share data)
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 3 – CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE COSTS
The Company capitalizes certain development costs
incurred in connection with software development for internal-use software platforms used in operations and for providing services to
our customers. Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred. Once software has reached the development
stage, internal and external costs, if direct, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended
use. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. The Company also capitalizes costs related to specific upgrades
and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Capitalized internal use software development
costs are included in intangible assets and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software platforms
and are included in depreciation and amortization within operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Amortization
of capitalized internal use software expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $71 and $48, respectively. The
Company accumulates capitalizable costs related to current projects in a construction in process (“CIP”) software account, the
balance of which was $351 and $696 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
NOTE 4 – REVENUES
Under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with
Customers (“ASC Topic 606”), we record revenue when earned, rather than when billed. From time to time, we may record revenue
based on our revenue recognition policies in advance of being able to invoice the customer, or we may invoice the customer prior to being
able to recognize the revenue. Included in accounts receivable are unbilled amounts of $4,471 and $4,198 at March 31, 2024, and December 31,
2023, respectively. Amounts billed in advance of revenue recognition are presented as deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance
sheets.
Revenues are primarily generated from content
delivery activities in which the Company delivers financial, clinical, or brand messaging through a distribution network of eprescribers
and electronic health record technology providers (channel partners), directly to consumers, or from reselling services that complement
the business. This content delivery for a customer is referred to as a program. Unless otherwise specified, revenue is recognized based
on the selling price to customers. The Company’s contracts are generally all less than one year and the primary performance obligation
is delivery of messages, or content, but the contract may contain additional services. Additional services may include program design,
which is the design of the content delivery program, set up, and reporting.
We consider set up and reporting services to be
complimentary to the primary performance obligation and recognized through performance of the delivery of content. We consider program
design and related consulting services to be performance obligations separate from the delivery of messages. The net contract balance
for contracts in progress at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, was $33,568 and $2,021, respectively. The outstanding performance
obligations are expected to be satisfied during the year ended December 31, 2024.
In certain circumstances, the Company will offer
sales rebates to customers based on spend volume. Rebates are typically contracted based on a quarterly or annual spend amount based on
a volume threshold or tiered model. At the beginning of the year, the rebate percentage is estimated based on input from the sales team
and analysis of prior year sales. Thereafter, the open contract balance for the customer is assessed quarterly to ensure the estimated
rebate percentage being used for the rebate accrual remains reasonable. The estimated amount of variable consideration will be included
in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized
will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. For the year ended 2023 and during
the first quarter of 2024, there were two contracts with customers that included a rebate clause.
As the content is distributed through the platform
and network of channel partners (a transaction), these transactions are recorded, and revenue is recognized over time as the distributions
occur. Revenue for transactions can be realized based on a price per message, a price per redemption, as a flat fee occurring over a period
of time, or upon completion of the program, depending on the client contract. The Company recognizes setup fees that are required for
integrating client offerings and campaigns into the rule-based content delivery system and network over the life of the initial program,
based either on time, or units delivered, depending upon which is most appropriate in the specific situation. Should a program be cancelled
before completion, the balance of set up revenue is recognized at the time of cancellation, as set up fees are nonrefundable. Additionally,
the Company also recognizes revenue for providing program performance reporting and maintenance. This reporting revenue is recognized
over time as the messages are delivered. Program design, which is the design of the content delivery program, and related consulting services
are recognized as services are performed.
In some instances, we also resell messaging solutions
that are available through channel partners that are complementary to the core business and client base. These partner specific solutions
are frequently similar to our own solutions and revenue recognition for these programs is the same as described above. In instances where
we sell solutions on a commission basis, net revenue is recognized based on the commission-based revenue split that we receive. In instances
where we resell these messaging solutions and have all financial risk and significant operation input and risk, we record the revenue
based on the gross amount sold and the amount paid to the channel partner as a cost of sales.

NOTE 4 – REVENUES (CONTINUED)
The Company has several signed contracts with customers for the distribution of messaging, or other services, which include payment in
advance. The payments are not recorded as revenue until the revenue is earned under its revenue recognition policy. Deferred revenue was
$904 and $172 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The contracts are all short term in nature and all revenue
is expected to be recognized within 12 months, or less. The following is a summary of activity for the deferred revenue account for the

Disaggregation of Revenue
Consistent with ASC Topic 606, we have disaggregated
our revenue by timing of revenue recognition. The majority of our revenue is recognized over time as solutions are provided. A small portion
of our revenue related to program development, solution architect design, and other solutions is recognized at a point in time upon delivery
to customers. A break down is set forth in the table below.

Accounts receivable are reported at realizable
value, net of allowances for credit losses, which is estimated and recorded in the period the related revenue is recorded. The Company
does not seek collateral to secure its accounts receivable and amounts billed are generally due within a short period of time based on
terms and conditions normal for our industry. 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. If current or expected future economic trends, events, or changes in circumstances indicate that specific receivable
balances may be impaired, further consideration is given to the collectability of those balances and the allowance is adjusted accordingly.
Past-due receivable balances are written off when the Company’s collection efforts have been exhausted.

months ended March 31, 2024.
The Company was in full compliance with the financial
covenants associated with the Term loan.
The Term Loan is repayable in quarterly installments,
beginning December 31, 2023, equivalent to 1.25% or $500,000, of the original principal amount, with the outstanding unpaid principal
and all accrued but unpaid interest due and payable on the earlier of (i) the fourth anniversary of the closing date of the Term Loan
or (ii) the date on which the Term Loan is declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Financing.
In addition, the Company is required to make a
mandatory prepayment on March 31, of each year, commencing with 2025, equivalent to Excess Cash Flow multiplied by a percentage factor
of 25%, if the leverage ratio is 3.60 to 1.00 or less, 50% if the leverage ratio is greater than 3.60 to 1 or less than or equal; to 4.10
to 1.00 and 75%, if the leverage ratio is greater than 4.10 to 1.00. Excess Cash Flow is defined in the Financing as Consolidated EBITDA
for the previous fiscal year less scheduled principal and interest payments, capital expenditure, cash taxes and any cash expenses/gains
added back to net income in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA, adjusted for any increase/decrease in working capital during the fiscal
year.
Repayments due under the terms of the Term loan,

NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (CONTINUED)
Treasury
Stock
During the
quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Board authorized a share repurchase program, under which the Company could repurchase up to $15.0 million
of its outstanding common stock. This stock repurchase authorization expired on March 12, 2024.
During each
of the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not repurchase any of
its outstanding shares of common stock.
Stock Options
The compensation expense related to options for
the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $1,353 and $1,467, respectively. The fair value of these instruments was calculated
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. There is $7,479 of remaining expense related to unvested options to be recognized in the
future over a weighted average period of 1.59 years. The total intrinsic value of outstanding options at March 31, 2024 was $492.
During 2023, the Company granted certain performance-based
stock options, the expense for which will be recorded over time once the achievement of the performance is deemed probable. There was
no expense related to these options recorded during the period.
Restricted Stock Units
The Company recorded $1,671 and $2,914 in compensation
expense related to restricted stock units for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. A total of $9,967 remains
to be recognized at March 31, 2024 over a weighted average period of 1.67 years.
During 2022, the Company granted certain performance
based restricted stock units, the expense for which will be recorded over time once the achievement of the performance is deemed probable.
There was no expense related to these restricted stock units recorded during the period.
The director’s compensation program calls for
the grant of restricted stock units with a one year vesting period. There was $199 and $185 included in the compensation expense discussed
above related to director’s compensation for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
NOTE 8 – LOSS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is
computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
The number of shares related to options and restricted
stock units included in diluted EPS is based on the “Treasury Stock Method” prescribed in ASC 260-10, Earnings per Share.
This method assumes the theoretical repurchase of shares using proceeds of the respective stock options exercised, and for restricted
stock units, the amount of compensation cost attributed to future services which have not yet been recognized, and the amount of current
and deferred tax benefit, if any, that would be credited to additional paid in capital upon the vesting of the restricted stock units,
at a price equal to the issuer’s average stock price during the related earnings period. Accordingly, the number of shares that
could be included in the calculation of EPS in respect of the stock options and restricted stock units is dependent on this average stock
price and will increase as the average stock price increases.

Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements
that relate to future events and expectations and, as such, constitute forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements
relating to our strategies, outlook, business and financial prospects, 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. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Although OptimizeRx believes that the
expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, these expectations may not be attained and
it is possible that actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of
risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances, many of which are beyond OptimizeRx’s control.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks
and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements due to
a variety of factors, including: our history of losses, seasonal trends in the pharmaceutical brand marketing industry; the inability
to support our technology and scale our operations successfully, developing and implementing new and updated applications, features and
services for our solutions may be more difficult and expensive and take longer than expected; the inability to offer high-quality customer
support for our solutions; dependence on a concentrated group of customers; inability to maintain contracts with electronic prescription
platforms, agreements with electronic prescription platforms and electronic health record systems being subject to audit; inability to
attract and retain customers; inability to comply with laws and regulations that affect the healthcare industry; competition; developments
in the healthcare industry; inability to manage growth; inability to identify suitable acquisition targets, complete acquisitions, or
integrate acquisitions successfully; acquisition activities may disrupt ongoing business and may
involve increased expenses; inability to realize the financial and strategic goals contemplated at the time of a transaction; inability
to realize any synergies or other anticipated benefits of an acquisition or that such synergies or benefits may take longer than anticipated
to be realized; risk that the integration with an acquired entity may be more costly or difficult than expected; impairment
charges for goodwill or other intangible assets may be increased as we shift our focus away from our non-core businesses; inability
to comply with the restrictions in our credit agreement; inability to generate sufficient cash to service debt and fund other obligations;
inability to attract and retain senior management and other key employees; economic, political, regulatory and other risks arising from
our international operations; inability to protect our intellectual property; cybersecurity incidents; reduction in the performance, reliability
and availability of our network infrastructure; increases in costs due to inflation and other adverse economic conditions; decreases in
customer demand due to macroeconomic factors; lack of a consistent active trading market for our common stock; volatility in the market
price of our common stock; and the failure to remediate the identified material weakness or any other material weaknesses identified in
the future.
The risks and uncertainties included here are
not exhaustive. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results,
is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2023. Moreover, we operate in a rapidly changing and competitive environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not
possible for management to predict all such risk factors.
Further, it is not possible to assess the effect
of all risk factors on our businesses or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ
materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue
reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. In addition, we disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking
statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date of this report.
Overview
We are a digital health technology company enabling
care-focused engagement between life sciences organizations, healthcare providers, and patients at critical junctures throughout the patient
care journey. Connecting over two million U.S. healthcare providers and millions of their patients through an intelligent omnichannel
technology platform embedded within a proprietary point-of-care network, as well as mass digital communications channels, OptimizeRx helps
life sciences organizations engage and support their customers.
Historically, our revenue was generated primarily
through the facilitation of various types of messages to health care providers via their EHR systems and ERx platforms using the OptimizeRx
proprietary network to solve the ever-increasing communication barriers between pharmaceutical representatives and healthcare providers
that have presented in the rapidly changing healthcare industry. Over time, the demand for different types of communication and marketing
solutions among life sciences organizations, healthcare providers, and patients led us to expand
upon our initial solutions to increase the variety of health-related information we deliver, as well as the platforms, technology, media
distribution channels, and audiences through and to which we deliver. In addition, the October 2023 acquisition of Medicx Health
provided the Company with a significant footprint for direct-to-consumer healthcare marketing. Today,
we offer diverse tech-enabled marketing solutions through our AI-generated DAAP, using sophisticated machine-learning algorithms to find
the best audiences in the correct channels at the right time. Customers are able to execute traditional marketing campaigns on our proprietary
digital point-of-care network, as well as dynamic marketing campaigns that optimize audiences in real time to increase the value of treatment
information for healthcare professionals and patients in response to clinical care events. We employ a “land and expand”
strategy focused on growing our existing client base and generating greater and more consistent revenues in part through the continued
shift in our business model toward enterprise level engagements, while also broadening our omnichannel network. Our strategy for driving
revenue growth is also expected to work in tandem with our efforts to increase margin and profitability as revenue drivers such as DAAP
have inherently higher margins than most other messaging solutions we offer.
Customer Concentration
Because the pharmaceutical industry is dominated
by large companies with multiple brands, our revenue is concentrated in a relatively small number of companies. We have approximately
100 pharmaceutical companies as customers, and our revenues are concentrated in these customers. Loss of one of more of our larger customers
could have a negative impact on our operating results. Our top five customers represented approximately 44% and 39% of our revenue for
the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. In each of 2023 and 2022, we had one customer that each represented
more than 10% of our revenues.
Seasonality
In general, the pharmaceutical brand marketing
industry experiences seasonal trends that affect the vast majority of participants in the pharmaceutical digital marketing industry. Many
pharmaceutical companies allocate the largest portion of their brand marketing to the fourth quarter of the calendar year. As a result,
the first quarter tends to reflect lower activity levels and lower revenue, with gradual increases in the following quarters. We generally
expect these seasonality trends to continue and our ability to effectively manage our resources in anticipation of these trends may affect
our operating results.
Impact of Macroeconomic Events
Unfavorable conditions in the economy may negatively
affect the growth of our business and our results of operations. For example, macroeconomic events including rising inflation and high interest rates have led to economic uncertainty. In addition, high levels of employee turnover across the pharmaceutical industry
as well as a fewer number of U.S. drug approvals could create additional uncertainty within our target customer markets. Historically,
during periods of economic uncertainty and downturns, businesses may slow spending, which may impact our business and our customers’
businesses. Adverse changes in demand could impact our business, collection of accounts receivable and our expected cash flow generation,
which may adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.
Key Performance Indicators
We monitor the following key performance indicators
to help us evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business and make strategic decisions. We have
updated the definition of “top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers” in our key performance indicators to be based upon Fierce Pharma’s
most updated list of “The top 20 pharma companies by 2023 revenue”. We previously used “The top 20 pharma companies by
2022 revenue”. As a result of this change, prior periods have been restated for comparative purposes.
Average revenue per top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturer.
Average revenue per top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturer is calculated by taking the total revenue the company recognized through pharmaceutical
manufacturers listed in Fierce Pharma’s “The top 20 pharma companies by 2023 revenue” over the last twelve months, divided
by the total number of the aforementioned pharmaceutical manufacturers that our solutions helped support over that time period. The Company
uses this metric to monitor its progress in “landing and expanding” with key customers within its largest customer vertical
and believe it also provides investors with a transparent way to chart our progress in penetrating this important customer segment. The increase in the average in twelve months ended March 31, 2024
as compared to the twelve months ended March 31, 2023 is primarily the result of stronger DAAP related revenue streams and the Company’s
October 2023 acquisition of Medicx Health, which added to 2024 revenues and was not included in the 2023 amounts (in thousands).

this metric to monitor its progress in “landing and expanding” with key customers within its largest customer vertical and
believes it also provides investors with a transparent way to chart our progress in penetrating this important customer segment.

Net revenue retention. Net revenue retention
is a comparison of revenue generated from all customers in the previous twelve-month period to total revenue generated from the same customers
in the following twelve-month period (i.e., excludes new customer relationships for the most recent twelve-month period). The Company
uses this metric to monitor its ability to improve its penetration with existing customers and believes it also provides investors with
a metric to chart our ability to increase our year-over-year penetration and revenue with existing customers. The retention rate in the
twelve months ended March 31, 2024 was higher due to stronger DAAP related revenue and the acquisition of Medicx Health in the fourth
quarter of 2023.

Revenue per average full-time employee.
We define revenue per average full-time employee (“FTE”), as total revenue over the last twelve months divided by the average
number of employees over the last twelve months (i.e., the average between the number of FTEs at the end of the reported period and the
number of FTEs at the end of the same period of the prior year). The Company uses this metric to monitor the productivity of its workforce
and its ability to scale efficiently over time and believes the metric provides investors with a way to chart our productivity and scalability.
Our revenue rate per employee increased year over year due to revenue growing at a higher rate than the average number of FTEs over the
last 12 month period (in thousands).

Net Revenues
Our net revenue reported for the three
months ended March 31, 2024 was approximately $19,690, an increase of 51% over the approximately $13,003 from the same period
in 2023. The increase in revenue was as a result of the impact of the fourth quarter 2023 acquisition of Medicx Health, which was
not included in the prior year numbers, plus growth of DAAP related sales. This increase was partially offset by a reduction of
approximately $1,876 as a result of the disposal of our non-core Access solutions and the sale of certain non-core solutions-related
contracts in the fourth quarter of 2023. Adjusting net revenues of $21,031 as shown in the pro-forma consolidated statement of
operations data table in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements by the $1,876 of non-core solutions revenues
included in 2023, the adjusted net revenues were $19,690 in 2024 versus $19,155 in 2023.
Cost of Revenues
Our cost of revenues, composed primarily of revenue
share expense paid to our network partners as well as costs associated with licensing data from third parties, was approximately $7,486
for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $5,570 for the same period of 2023. Our cost of revenues as a percentage of
revenue decreased to approximately 38% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 from approximately 42.8% for the quarter ended March 31,
2023. This improvement in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue was a result of solution and channel mix. Additional discussion
is included in the Gross Margin section below.
Gross Margin
Our gross margin, which is the difference between
our revenues and our cost of revenues, increased for three months ended March 31, 2024, as a result of solution and channel mix.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had higher revenues due to the fourth quarter acquisition of Medicx Health and growth
in our DAAP related sales, leading to increased gross margin. Our overall margin percentage improved, compared with a year ago, as a result of an increased delivery
of higher margin revenue solutions, such as DAAP, and using more cost-effective channel partnerships.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased to approximately
$17,233 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from approximately $14,496 for the same period in 2023, an increase of approximately
19%. The detail by major category is reflected in the table below (in thousands).

Stock-based compensation decreased from approximately
$4,381 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, to approximately $3,024 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease
was a result of the lower grant date fair value of awards due to declines in the Company’s stock price as well as fewer equity awards
made in the first quarter of 2024.
Depreciation and amortization increased from approximately
$464 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, to approximately $1,067 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase
was a result of the additional amortization from associated with the identifiable intangibles arising from the Medicx Health acquisition.
Other general and administrative expenses increased
from approximately $9,651 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to approximately $13,142 for the same period in 2024. This
increase is primarily as a result of increases in compensation expense, due to additional headcount as a result of the Medicx Health acquisition,
professional fees, primarily audit and accounting fees, and partner integration incentives.
Other
income (expense)
Interest
expense was approximately $1,546 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and represents
interest charges on our Term Loan, which was raised to partially fund the acquisition of Medicx Health in the fourth quarter of 2023,
together with the amortization of the related issuance costs.
Interest
income decreased from approximately $665 for the three months ended March 31,
2023, to approximately $20 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was
a result of lower invested balances as we realized short-term investments during 2023 in order to
partially fund the acquisition of Medicx Health.
Income
tax expense
Income tax
expense was approximately $344, or an effective rate of 5.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. For further information,
see Part I, Item I. Financial Statements; Note 11 — Income Taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net Loss
We had a net loss of approximately $6,899 for
the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to a net loss of approximately $6,398 during the same period in 2023. The reasons
and specific components associated with the change are discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, our primary sources of liquidity
have been cash receipts from customers and proceeds from equity offerings, in addition, during the year ended December 31, 2023,
the Company entered into a Term loan of $40.0 million in order to partially fund the acquisition of Medicx Health. As of March 31,
2024, the total principal balance outstanding on the Term loan was approximately $37.8 million and we were in compliance with all
of the financial covenants of the Term loan.
As of March 31, 2024, we had total current
assets of approximately $48.4 million, compared with current liabilities of approximately $16.8 million, resulting in working capital
of approximately $31.6 million and a current ratio of approximately 2.9 to 1. This represents a decrease from our working capital of approximately
$36.4 million and an decrease from the current ratio of 3.0 to 1 at December 31, 2023. This decrease in our working capital is discussed
in more detail below.
We believe that funds generated from operations,
together with existing cash, will be sufficient to finance our current operations and meet our obligations under the Term loan for the
next twelve (12) months. In addition, we believe we can generate the cash needed to operate beyond the next 12 months from operations.
However, we may seek additional debt, equity financing, or lines of credit to supplement cash from operations to fund acquisitions or
strategic partner relationships, make capital expenditures, and satisfy working capital needs.
Cash Flows
Following is a table with summary data from the consolidated statements
of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, as presented (in thousands).

We generated approximately $2,118 from operating
activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with $86 used in operating activities in the same period in 2023.
We had a net loss of $6,899 for the first three months of 2024, which included non-cash expenses of $4,273. This was offset by cash generated
by the collection of receivables.
Cash used by investing activities was approximately
$153 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. We invested in internally developed software in the amount of $121 and spent $32
on property and equipment. Cash used in investing activities for the same period in the prior year was $1,550 as we made a net investment
of $1,326 in treasury bills and invested $194 in internally developed software.
Cash used for financing activities was approximately
$640, during the three months ended March 31, 2024. We used $140 to pay withholding taxes on behalf of employees vesting in restricted
stock units and $500 was related to repayments on our Term loan. Cash used for financing activities for the same period in prior year
was $131, primarily related to paying withholding taxes on behalf of employees vesting in restricted stock units.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial
statements requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ
from those estimates and assumptions. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K). The accounting policies
we used in preparing these financial statements are substantially consistent with those we applied in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our critical accounting estimates are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in the 2023 Annual Report on Form
10-K.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07
(“ASU 2023-07”), Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07 requires annual
and interim disclosures that are expected to improve reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant
segment expenses. The provisions of ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods
within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting
ASU 2023-07.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09
(“ASU 2023-09”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 addresses investor requests
for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation
and income taxes paid information. This update also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures.
The provisions of ASU 2023-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are
currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has contracts with various electronic
health records systems and ePrescribe platforms, whereby we agree to share a portion of the revenue we generate for eCoupons or banners
through their network. From time to time the Company enters into arrangements with a partner to acquire minimum amounts of media, data
or messaging capabilities. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had commitments for future minimum payments of approximately $22.6 million
that will be reflected in cost of revenues during the remainder of 2024 and years 2025 through 2028.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures
designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules
and forms and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Our management, with the participation of our
Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report,
of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based on this
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report,
our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e), were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to a material
weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2023.
To address the material weakness referenced above,
the Company performed additional analysis and performed other procedures in order to prepare the consolidated financial statements in
accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly
report on this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the
periods presented.
Plan for Remediation of Material Weakness
Management is actively engaged in the planning
for, and implementation of, remediation efforts to address the material weakness identified above. Management intends to implement the
following remediation steps:
| a. | The Company will require each third-party service organization to provide a SOC-1, Type 2 report to us. |
| b. | If a SOC-1, Type 2 report is not available, the Company will evaluate each third-party’s relevant
system(s) and reporting directly through inquiry and substantive testing of such third-party’s control environment. |
| c. | If we are unable to obtain a valid SOC-1 Type 2 report or perform substantive testing of such third-party
service organization’s control environment, the Company will implement a qualification and program triaging process, which would include
modifying customer contracts, limiting the volume of activity with those third-parties and establishing other controls to ensure the completeness
and accuracy of information received from those third-parties, such as performing tagging procedures where possible. |
Management believes the measures described above
will remediate the material weakness that we have identified. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company continued to engage
with the third-party service organizations to discuss the reporting requirements. As management continues to evaluate and improve our
disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, the Company may decide to take additional measures to
address control deficiencies or determine to modify certain of the remediation measures identified.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
Except as noted above, there was no change in
our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act), that occurred during the quarter
ended March 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
A control system, no matter how well conceived
and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, 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. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur
and not be detected. The Company conducts periodic evaluations of its internal controls to enhance, where necessary, its procedures and
controls.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in legal
proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are currently not a party to any material legal
or administrative proceedings, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened material legal or administrative proceedings against
us.
Item 1A: Risk Factors

been no material changes in our risk factors from the risks previously reported in PART 1, ITEM 1A, “Risk Factors” of our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. You should carefully consider the factors discussed in PART I, ITEM
