NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Preparation

 

The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) under the accrual basis of accounting. These financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and are prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which are carried at fair value. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Amendment No. 4), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 28, 2023 (the “Form S-1”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Form S-1 have been omitted.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

Highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. The Company maintains the majority of its cash accounts at a commercial bank. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insures a total cash balance of up to $250,000 per commercial bank. From time to time, cash in deposit accounts may exceed the FDIC limits and the excess would be at risk of loss for purposes of the statement of cash flows. There are no cash equivalents at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and the Company has not experienced any losses related to uninsured deposits.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company is a taxable entity and recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Income taxes are provided in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the year that includes the enactment date of the rate change. A valuation allowance is used to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

Net Loss Per Common Share

 

We compute net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earning per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. For diluted net loss per share purposes, the Company excludes stock options and other stock-based awards, including shares issued as a result of option and warrant exercises, whose effect would be anti-dilutive, from the calculation. There were 1,400,000 and 1,250,000 options, 1,063,000 and 2,000,000 warrants and no derivative securities outstanding as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results can, and in many cases will, differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities, as well as makes related disclosures, in accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, which provides guidance with respect to valuation techniques to be utilized in the determination of fair value of assets and liabilities. Approaches include, (i) the market approach (comparable market prices), (ii) the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and (iii) the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). ASC 820 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from the disposition is reflected in earnings. For financial statement purposes, property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of three (3) to five (5) years.

Concentration and Risks

 

The Company’s operations are subject to risks including financial, operational, regulatory and other risks including the potential risk of business failure. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company had no significant revenue from continuing operations which were derived from a single or a few major customers.

 

Black Scholes Option Pricing Model

 

The Company uses a Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of warrants and options issued.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard-setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the effect of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 – 40)”. ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in US GAAP. The ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its financial statements.

 

Related Parties

 

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of FASB ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuant to Section 850-10-20, the related parties include a. affiliates of the Company; b. Entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the guidance of Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal owners of the Company; e. management of the Company; f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. The disclosures shall include: a. the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b. a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c. the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d. amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement. Material related party transactions have been identified in Notes 3, 6 and 8 in the notes to financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes compensation costs to employees under FASB ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options and warrants. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Our Company generates our online revenue through the sale of products and services purchased by customers directly through our online platform. Online revenue represents the sales of products and services on our platform, net of refunds, credits, and chargebacks, and includes revenue recognition adjustments recorded pursuant to US GAAP. Online revenue is generated by selling directly to consumers through our websites.

 

The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and has met its performance obligation. For revenue generated through its online platform, the Company defines its customer as an individual who purchases products or services through websites. The transaction price in the Company’s contracts with customers is the total amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring products or services to the customer.

 

The Company’s contracts that contain prescription products issued as the result of a consultation include two performance obligations: access to (i) products and (ii) consultation services. The Company’s contracts for prescription refills have a single performance obligation. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised product to the customer and, in contracts that contain services, by the provision of consultation services to the customer. The Company satisfies its performance obligation for products at a point in time, which is upon delivery of the products to a third-party carrier. The Company satisfies its performance obligation for services over the period of the consultation service, which is typically a few days. The customer obtains control of the products and services upon the Company’s completion of its performance obligations.

 

The Company has entered into a Physician Services Agreement with BrighterMD, LLC dba Doctegrity (“Doctegrity”) to provide online telemedicine technology services to the Company. The Company accounts for service revenue as a principal in the arrangement with its customers. This conclusion is reached because (i) the Company determines which providers provide the consultation to the customer; (ii) the Company is primarily responsible for the satisfactory fulfillment and acceptability of the services; (iii) the Company incurs costs for consultation services even for visits that do not result in a prescription and the sale of products; and (iv) the Company, at its sole discretion, sets all listed prices charged on its websites for products and services.

 

Additionally, the Company has entered into a Master Services Agreement and Statement of Work with Epiq Scripts, LLC (“Contracted Pharmacy”), which is a related party, to provide pharmacy and compounding services to the Company to fulfill its promise to customers for contracts that include sale of prescription products and to fill prescriptions that are ordered by the Company’s customers for fulfillment through the Company’s websites. The Company accounts for prescription product revenue as a principal in the arrangement with its customers. This conclusion is reached because (i) the Company has sole discretion in determining which Contracted Pharmacy fills a customer’s prescription; (ii) Contracted Pharmacy fills the prescription based on fulfillment instructions provided by the Company, including using the Company’s branded packaging for generic products; (iii) the Company is primarily responsible to the customer for the satisfactory fulfillment and acceptability of the order, and; (iv) the Company, at its sole discretion, sets all listed prices charged on its websites for products and services.

The Company accounts for shipping activities, consisting of direct costs to ship products performed after the control of a product has been transferred to the customer, in cost of revenue.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost being determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. During the periods presented, there were no inventory write-downs.

 

Marketing and advertising

 

The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of marketing and advertising to expense as incurred. The Company charged to operations $1,633,528 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. We did not begin advertising until November 2022.

 

Subsequent events

 

The Company follows the guidance in subtopic 855-10-50 of FASB ASC 855, Subsequent Events, for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements were issued (see Note 10).

 

NOTE 3 – PREPAID EXPENSES AND DEPOSITS

NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

On December 10, 2021 and March 18, 2022, the Company received advances of $39,200 and $50,000, respectively, for a total of $89,200 from its previous majority shareholder, American International Holdings Corp (“AMIH”), in order to cover various general and administrative expenses. The advances bear no interest and are due on demand upon the Company’s ability to repay the advances from either future revenues or investment proceeds. On June 16, 2022, Cohen Enterprises, Inc. (“Cohen Enterprises”), an entity owned and controlled by Jacob D. Cohen, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, entered into and closed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) for the purchase of 8,000,000 shares of the outstanding common stock of the Company which were then held by AMIH, which represented 80% of the Company’s then outstanding shares of common stock, in consideration for $90,000. Pursuant to the terms of the SPA, Cohen Enterprises also acquired the right to be repaid the $89,200 advanced from AMIH to the Company.

 

On June 29, 2022, the Company received an advance of $25,000 from Cohen Enterprises in order to cover various general and administrative expenses. The Company repaid Cohen Enterprises $25,000 on August 18, 2022 bringing the total amount owed to Cohen Enterprises to $89,200 as of December 31, 2022. This amount was paid in full on April 4, 2023 and the amount owed to Cohen Enterprises was $0 and $89,200 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Previously recorded imputed interest equal to eight percent (8%) per annum, or a total of $8,232 against the related party advances, was canceled and reversed for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

On December 10, 2021, the Company received an advance of $70 from ZipDoctor, Inc., a then wholly-owned subsidiary of its then majority shareholder, AMIH, which was used to open and establish the Company’s bank account. The advance bears no interest and is due on demand upon the Company’s ability to repay the advance from either future revenues or investment proceeds. The amount was paid in full on May 24, 2022 and the amount owed to ZipDoctor was $0 and $70 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Imputed interest at eight percent (8%) per annum on this advance was insignificant and therefore was not calculated, recorded or paid during the time the advance was outstanding from December 10, 2021 to May 24, 2022.

 

For additional information on related party prepaid expenses see Note 3.

 

NOTE 7 – NOTES PAYABLE

Common Stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 16,789,500 shares were issued and outstanding at September 30, 2023 and 13,365,000 were issued and outstanding at December 31, 2022.

 

On August 8, 2022, the Company began a private placement of up to $2,000,000 of units (the “Units”), each consisting of one share of common stock (the “Shares”) and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock (the “Warrants”), at a price of $1.00 per Unit. The Warrants have a five-year term and an exercise price of $1.00 per share, for which cash would need to be remitted to us for exercise in the event that the shares underlying the warrants have been registered, otherwise the Warrants are exercisable on either a cash basis or a cashless basis. The offering of the Units is referred to as the “Offering.” The Units were offered by the Company only to investors that qualify as “accredited investors,” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The price of the Units was determined by the Company and such price did not necessarily bear any relation to the book value or other recognized criteria of value of the Company.

 

The Offering commenced on August 8, 2022 and the Company sold 2,000,000 Units at $1.00 per Unit to 23 investors in exchange for $2,000,000 in gross proceeds from the investors, and subsequently issued the investors 2,000,000 Shares and 2,000,000 Warrants between August 16, 2022 and December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of Warrants outstanding to investors was $1,438,299. Because the Warrants vested immediately the fair value was assessed on the date of grant.

Overview

 

We connect consumers to licensed healthcare professionals through our website at www.MangoRX.com for the provision of care via telehealth on our customer portal and also provide access for customers to a licensed pharmacy for online fulfillment and distribution of certain medications that may be prescribed as part of telehealth consultations. We have developed what we believe is a go-to-market strategy inclusive of product development, operations, marketing and advertising; however, we have not sold a significant amount of products and have not generated revenues sufficient to support our operations to date.

 

We have identified men’s wellness telemedicine services and products as a growing sector in recent years and especially related to the areas of erectile dysfunction (“ED”) products. We have developed, are marketing, and selling, a new brand of ED product under the brand name “Mango.” This product is produced at a compounding pharmacy and is available to patients on the determination of a prescribing physician that the compounded drug is necessary for the individual patient. This product currently includes the following three ingredients: Either Sildenafil (the active ingredient in Viagra) or Tadalafil (the active ingredient in Cialis) and Oxytocin, which are used in U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved drugs; and L-Arginine, an amino acid that is available as a dietary supplement. However, the fact that Tadalafil, Sildenafil and Oxytocin are used in FDA approved drugs, and L-arginine is available as a dietary supplement, does not mean that these ingredients will prove safe when combined into a single formulation to treat ED. We currently offer two dosage levels of our Mango ED products and anticipate doctors prescribing a dosage based on the needs and medical history of the patient. Our Mango ED products currently includes the following amounts of the three ingredients discussed above: (1) either Sildenafil (50 milligrams (mg) or Tadalafil (10 (mg)), Oxytocin (100 International units (IU)) and L-Arginine (50mg); and (2) either Sildenafil (100mg) or Tadalafil (20mg), Oxytocin (100IU) and L-Arginine (50mg). Our Mango ED products have not been, and will not be, approved by the FDA and instead we produce and sell our Mango ED products and plan to produce and sell future pharmaceutical products, under an exemption provided by Section 503A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as discussed below.

Table of Contents

 

We are not aware of any clinical studies involving the administration of Tadalafil or Sildenafil sublingually at the doses we provide patients, or the compounding of Tadalafil or Sildenafil, oxytocin, and L-arginine to treat ED, as is contemplated by our ED product. We are, however, aware of other companies that are currently selling oral disintegrating tablets for ED, including those using a combination of Tadalafil and Sildenafil. Additionally, because our Mango ED products are being specially compounded for the customer by a pharmacist with a physician’s prescription and because the ingredients for our Mango ED products are publicly disclosed, this product formula can be replicated by other companies.

 

Because our ED product has not been, and will not be, approved by the FDA, our product has not had the benefit of the FDA’s clinical trial protocol which seeks to prevent the possibility of serious patient injury and death. If this were to occur, we could be subject to litigation and governmental action, which could result in costly litigation, significant fines, judgments or penalties.

 

Mango has been formulated as a Rapid Dissolve Tablet (“RDT”) using a sublingual (applied under the tongue) delivery system to bypass the stomach and liver. It is a generally established principle that sublingual drug absorption through the oral mucosa is generally faster than drug absorption through the gastrointestinal tract. This is because sublingual drugs that are absorbed through the oral mucosa directly enter the systemic circulation, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract and first-pass metabolism in the liver (see H. Zhang et al., Oral mucosal drug delivery: clinical pharmacokinetics and therapeutic applications, 41 Clin Pharmacokinet 661, 662 (2002). Though the active ingredients that comprise our Mango product are meant to treat ED – an issue that according to a 2018 study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine has been estimated to affect over one-third of today’s men’s population (with prevalence increasing with age) – we are also aiming to brand ourselves as a lifestyle company marketed to men seeking enhanced sexual vitality, performance, and overall mood and confidence. Mango is currently sold exclusively online via our website at www.MangoRX.com.

 

Key Performance Indicators

 

Key performance indicators that we use to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions include average order value (“AOV”); the percentage breakdown between subscribing and non-subscribing customers; and the percentage breakdown between new orders and refills/auto-refills.

In addition to continuously working to acquire new customers for our Mango ED products, our goal is to gradually increase the percentage and number of subscribing customers, compared to one-time non-subscribing customers, which if successful, we expect will drive greater predictability and growth in revenues and cash flow, allowing us to invest even more aggressively in new customer acquisition. Further, our goal is to increase our AOVs, which we also anticipate will grow over time as the Company launches, markets and sells additional men’s health and wellness products through its online telemedicine platform.

 

Plan of Operations

 

We had working capital of $1.2 million as of September 30, 2023. With our current cash on hand, expected revenues, and based on our current average monthly expenses, we currently anticipate the need for additional funding in order to continue our operations at their current levels and to pay the costs associated with being a public company for the next 12 months. We may also require additional funding in the future to expand or complete acquisitions. We plan to raise additional required funding through the sale of debt or equity, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all, and may, if sold, cause significant dilution to existing stockholders. If we are unable to access additional capital moving forward, it may hurt our ability to grow and to generate future revenues.

 

Our plan for the next twelve months is to continue using the same marketing and management strategies and continue providing a quality product with excellent customer service while also seeking to expand our operations organically or through acquisitions as funding and opportunities arise. As our business continues to grow, customer feedback will be integral in making small adjustments to improve products and our overall customer experience.

 

We are headquartered in Dallas, Texas and intend to grow our business both organically and through identifying acquisition targets over the next 12 months in the technology, health and wellness space, funding permitting. Specifically, we plan to continue to make additional and ongoing technology enhancements to its platform, further develop, market and advertise additional men’s health and wellness related products on its telemedicine platform, and identify strategic acquisitions that complement our vision. As these opportunities arise, we will determine the best method for financing such acquisitions and growth which may include the issuance of debt instruments, common stock, preferred stock, or a combination thereof, all of which may result in significant dilution to existing shareholders.

 

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of the Three and Nine months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

 

Revenues

 

We began generating revenues in November 2022 and had revenues of $245,160 and $487,119 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and we did not generate any revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Cost of Revenues

 

We had cost of revenues of $52,193 and $101,538 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and related party cost of revenues of $48,378 and $96,663 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, relating to amounts paid to Epiq Scripts, LLC, a related party, 51% owned and controlled by Jacob D. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, which entity provides us pharmacy and compounding services (“Epiq Scripts”), resulting in gross profit of $144,589 and $288,918 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The related party cost of revenues was associated with the Master Services Agreement entered into with Epiq Scripts and a related statement of work and the remaining cost of revenues was attributed to the amounts paid to our unrelated party doctors network and shipping expenses. We did not have any cost of revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as we did not begin generating revenues until November 2022.

 

The Company analyzed the following factors when determining the amounts to be paid to Epiq Scripts under the Master Services Agreement and related statement of work: a) the fairness of the terms for the Company (including fairness from a financial point of view); b) the materiality of the transaction; c) bids / terms for a similar transaction from unrelated parties; d) the structure of the transaction; and e) the interests of each related party in the transaction.

 

Operating Expenses and Net Loss

 

We had total general and administrative expenses of $1,944,049 and $6,939,761 and imputed interest gain of $0 and $6,473 (which represented imputed interest canceled and reversed on the related party loans repaid as discussed below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, resulting in a net loss of $1,799,460 and $6,644,370, respectively, compared to general and administrative expenses of $991,825 and $1,319,727 and $3,090 and $4,673 of imputed interest expense (which represented imputed interest on the related party loans discussed below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. This resulted in a net loss of $994,915 and $1,324,400, respectively.

 

The increase in general administration expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the prior period, was due primarily to (a) stock-based compensation totaling $151,592 and $1,367,134 (including a total of $84,750 and $1,171,750 attributed to stock issued for services and $66,842 and $195,384 attributed to stock-based compensation from issuances of options and warrants) and 0 and $490,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which increase was due to us having issued less stock for compensation during the 2022 period; (b) advertising and marketing expenses in the amount of $720,531 and $1,633,528 and $98,797 and $164,085, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to us increasing our advertising and marketing costs in the 2023 period as we ramped up our marketing efforts in connection with the expansion of our operations; (c) legal fees of $58,725 and $257,111 and $0 and $156,987, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, mainly related to legal fees in connection with our initial public offering and related matters; (d) placement agent fees of $0 and $400,000, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $0 and $120,040 for 2022, respectively, relating to fees paid to our placement agent in connection with our private placement and initial public offering; (e) salaries and benefits of $262,092 and $642,007 and $51,000 and $51,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which increased due to the engagement of new employees as we ramped up our operations in the current period; (f) accounting and auditing fees of $9,200 and $86,800 and $7,644 and $17,644, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which was in connection with fees paid to our accountants and auditors in connection with the preparation of the financial statements for our initial public offering and quarterly reviews; (g) general consulting related expenses of $156,929 and $376,070 and $75,180 and $75,180, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to other various consulting fees paid in connection with our operations in the current period; and (h) software development fees of $70,599 and $361,740 and $31,420 and $41,020 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to the front and backend development of our website in the current period. Software development expenses are integral to customers accessing our ordering system and successfully placing an order for our products. We had not yet implemented our online ordering in the first nine months of 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2023, we had $1,236,747 of cash on-hand, compared to $682,860 of cash on-hand of December 31, 2022. We also had $84,382 of prepaid expenses, related party, relating to amounts funded to Epiq Scripts, which is 51% owned and controlled by Jacob D. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, $21,581 of inventory; $102,420 of property and equipment, net, consisting of computers, office and custom product packaging equipment, $16,942 of security deposit, representing the security deposit on our leased office space and $133,433 of right of use asset in connection with our office space lease. Cash increased mainly due to funds raised in the IPO, offset by cash used for general operating expenses.

 

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had total current liabilities of $159,176, consisting of $89,059 of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $8,200 of payroll tax liabilities, and $61,917 of right-of-use liability, operating lease, current portion. We also had $81,507 of right-of-use liability, long-term.

 

As of September 30, 2023, we had $1,595,505 in total assets, $240,684 in total liabilities, working capital of $1.2 million and a total accumulated deficit of $8,660,126.

 

We have mainly relied on related party loans, as well as funds raised through the sale of securities, mainly through the private placement offering and our IPO discussed below, and revenues generated from sales of our Mango ED products, to support our operations since inception. We have primarily used our available cash to pay operating expenses. We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures.

 

We have experienced recurring net losses since inception. We believe that we will continue to incur substantial operating expenses in the foreseeable future as we continue to invest to bring our Mango ED products to market and to attract customers, expand the product offerings and enhance technology and infrastructure. These efforts may prove more expensive than we anticipate, and we may not succeed in generating commercial revenues or net income to offset these expenses. Accordingly, we may not be able to achieve profitability, and we may incur significant losses for the foreseeable future. Our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in its report on our financial statements as of December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, our current capital resources are not sufficient for us to fund operations for the next 12 months. As such, we will need to raise funding in addition to the funding raised in our IPO, to support our operations in the future. We may also seek to acquire additional businesses or assets in the future, which may require us to raise funding. We currently anticipate such funding being raised through the offering of debt or equity. Such additional financing, may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If debt financing is available and obtained, our interest expense may increase and we may be subject to the risk of default, depending on the terms of such financing. If equity financing is available and obtained it may result in our shareholders experiencing significant dilution. If such financing is unavailable, we may be forced to curtail our business plan, which may cause the value of our securities to decline in value.

 

To support our existing operations or any future expansion of business, including the ability to execute our growth strategy, we must have sufficient capital to continue to make investments and fund operations. We have plans to pursue an aggressive growth strategy for the expansion of operations through marketing to attract new customers for our Mango ED products.

Related Party Loans and Advances

 

On December 10, 2021 and March 18, 2022, the Company received advances of $39,200 and $50,000, respectively, for a total of $89,200 from its previous majority shareholder, American International Holdings Corp. (“American International”), in order to cover various general and administrative expenses. The amount owed to American International was $39,200 as of December 31, 2021. Imputed interest equal to 8% per annum, or $181, was recorded against the related party advance as of December 31, 2021. Other than the imputed interest discussed above, the advances bear no interest and are due on demand upon the Company’s ability to repay the advances from either future revenues or investment proceeds. Pursuant to the terms of the June 16, 2022, SPA discussed above, on June 16, 2022, Cohen Enterprises also acquired the right to be repaid the $89,200 advanced from American International to the Company.

 

On June 29, 2022, the Company received an advance of $25,000 from Cohen Enterprises, Inc. (“Cohen Enterprises”), which is owned by Mr. Cohen, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, who is also the majority shareholder of the Company, in order to cover various general and administrative expenses. The Company repaid Cohen Enterprises $25,000 on August 18, 2022 and the remaining $89,200 on April 4, 2023, bringing the total amount owed to Cohen Enterprises to $0 as of September 30, 2023. The Company further recorded a credit of $6,473 towards imputed interest (previously calculated at a rate of 8% per annum) against the related party advances for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

On November 18, 2022, the Company entered into a Secured Installment Promissory Note with a vendor for the purchase of equipment in the amount of $78,260 (the “Note Payable”). The note bears no interest unless an event of default occurs, and then it bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum until paid in full. The Note Payable was payable in installments, requiring a payments of $5,000 on each of January 1, 2023, February 1, 2023, and March 1, 2023, with a $31,630 payment due on April 1, 2023 and a final payment due on May 1, 2023. The January 1 and March 1, 2023 payments were timely made and on March 23, 2023, the Company elected to pay off the remaining balance of $63,260. The outstanding balance on December 31, 2022 was $78,260 and as of September 30, 2023, was $0.

 

2022 Private Placement

 

In August 2022, the Company initiated a private placement of up to $2 million of units to accredited investors, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock, at a price of $1.00 per unit. The warrants have a five-year term (from each closing date that units were sold) and an exercise price of $1.00 per share. If at any time after the six-month anniversary of the issuance date, there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise the warrants, the holder of the warrants may elect a cashless exercise of the warrants. Boustead Securities, LLC, the representative of the underwriters in our IPO, served as the placement agent in connection with the private placement. In total, we sold an aggregate of 2,000,000 units for $2,000,000 to 23 accredited investors between August 16, 2022 and December 22, 2022, the end date of the offering.

Initial Public Offering

 

On March 23, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), we consummated our initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 1,250,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $4.00 per share, pursuant to that certain Underwriting Agreement, dated March 20, 2023 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between the Company and Boustead Securities, LLC, as representative (the “Representative”) of several underwriters named in the Underwriting Agreement. In connection with the IPO, the Company also granted the Representative a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 187,500 shares of its common stock, which has expired unexercised.

 

The Common Stock offered and sold to the public pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-269240) filed by the Company with the SEC under the Securities Act, on January 13, 2023, which became effective on March 20, 2023.

 

On the Closing Date, the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $5 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

 

At the same time, and as part of the same registration statement, but pursuant to a separate prospectus (the “Resale Prospectus”) the Company registered the sale of 4,765,000 shares of common stock, including 2,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

 

As additional consideration in connection with the IPO, upon the closing of the IPO, we granted Boustead Securities, LLC, the representative of the underwriters named in the Underwriting Agreement for the IPO, warrants to purchase 87,500 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $5.00 per share, which are exercisable beginning six months after the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with the IPO (March 20, 2023) and expire five years after such effectiveness date.

 

Need for Future Funding

 

As discussed above, our current capital resources are not be sufficient for us to fund operations for the next 12 months. As such, we will need funding in addition to the funding raised in our IPO, to support our operations in the future. We may also seek to acquire additional businesses or assets in the future, which may require us to raise funding. We currently anticipate such funding being raised through the sale of debt or equity. Such additional financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If debt financing is available and obtained, our interest expense may increase and we may be subject to the risk of default, depending on the terms of such financing. If equity financing is available and obtained it may result in our shareholders experiencing significant dilution. If such financing is unavailable, we may be forced to curtail our business plan, which may cause the value of our securities to decline in value.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” included in our audited financial statements included under “Index to Financial Statements” in the prospectus dated March 20, 2023, filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) in connection with our IPO (the “Prospectus”), describes the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements. Certain of these significant accounting policies and estimates have a higher degree of inherent uncertainty and require significant judgments. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected.

Our critical accounting policies are described under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in the Prospectus and the notes to the audited financial statements appearing elsewhere in the Prospectus. During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies from those discussed in our Prospectus.

 

JOBS Act and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act.

 

We have implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and may impact our financial statements and we do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Refer to “Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Selected Risks Associated with Our Company

 

Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Report. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

  The outcome of future lawsuits, litigation, regulatory matters or claims;
     
  The fact that certain recent initial public offerings of companies with public floats comparable to the public float of the Company have experienced extreme volatility that was seemingly unrelated to the underlying performance of the respective company; and the fact that we may experience similar volatility, which may make it difficult for investors to assess the value of our common stock;
     
  Certain terms and provisions of our governing documents which may prevent a change of control, and which provide for indemnification of officers and directors, limit the liability of officers or directors, and provide for the board of director’s ability to issue blank check preferred stock; and
     
  The volatile nature of the trading price of our common stock following the IPO; and dilution which may be caused by future sales of securities.

 

Our business involves significant risks. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other public filings, as well as our audited financial statements and related notes as disclosed in the Prospectus, dated March 20, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in accordance with Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act on March 22, 2023 (the “Prospectus”) in connection with our initial public offering (“IPO”). The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risk and uncertainties that we are unaware of or that we deem immaterial may also become important factors that adversely affect our business. The realization of any of these risks and uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations, growth and future prospects as well as our ability to accomplish our strategic objectives. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of specific factors, including the risks and uncertainties described below. The risks relating to our business set forth in our Prospectus, are set forth below and are unchanged substantively as of March 20, 2023, except for those risks designated by an asterisk (*), which are significantly updated compared to the similar named risk factors set forth in the Prospectus. Additionally, those risks designated by a plus sign (+) represent new risk factors not included in the Prospectus. In addition, the prior risk factor entitled “Jacob D. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns greater than 50% of our outstanding shares of common stock, which causes us to be deemed a “controlled company” under the rules of Nasdaq.” is no longer relevant or applicable to the Company.

 

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider each of the following risks, together with all other information set forth in this Report, including the financial statements and the related notes, before making a decision to buy our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to our Operating History and Need for Funding

 

We were recently formed, have a limited operating history and have generated only limited revenues to date and there is no assurance that we can generate revenues or sell any commercial amount of our products in the future.(*)

 

We were only recently formed and have limited operating history. We launched our website in mid-November 2022. To date we have sold only a small amount of products and generated only limited revenues and have not sold sufficient quantities of our Mango ED products to support our operations. There is no assurance that we can generate revenues sufficient to support our operations, and even if additional revenues are generated, there is no assurance that we can generate sufficient net income to support our operations. As reflected in the accompanying financials, the Company had a net loss of $6,644,370 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and an accumulated deficit of $8,660,126 as of September 30, 2023. Additionally, the Company had a net loss of $1,998,055 for the year ended December 31, 2022 and an accumulated deficit of $2,015,756 as of December 31, 2022.

 

We have experienced recurring net losses since inception. We believe that we will continue to incur substantial operating expenses in the foreseeable future as we continue to invest to bring our Mango ED products to market and to attract customers, expand the product offerings and enhance technology and infrastructure. These efforts may prove more expensive than we anticipate, and we may not succeed in generating commercial revenues or net income to offset these expenses. Accordingly, we may not be able to achieve profitability, and we may incur significant losses for the foreseeable future. Our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in its report on our financial statements as of December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, our current capital resources are not sufficient for us to fund operations for the next 12 months. As such, we will need funding in addition to the funding raised in our IPO, to support our operations in the future. We may also seek to acquire additional businesses or assets in the future, which may require us to raise funding. We currently anticipate such funding being raised through the offering of debt or equity. Such additional financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If debt financing is available and obtained, our interest expense may increase and we may be subject to the risk of default, depending on the terms of such financing. If equity financing is available and obtained it may result in our shareholders experiencing significant dilution. If such financing is unavailable, we may be forced to curtail our business plan, which may cause the value of our securities to decline in value.

 

Since we have a limited operating history, it is difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business and our business is in a relatively new consumer product segment, which is difficult to forecast.

 

Our limited operating history in the health and wellness industry may hinder our ability to successfully meet our objectives and makes it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business or prospective operations. As an early-stage company, we are subject to all the risks inherent in the financing, expenditures, operations, regulatory compliance, complications and delays inherent in a new business. Accordingly, our business and success face risks from uncertainties faced by developing companies in a competitive environment. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, regulatory challenges, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the formation of a new business, the development of a new strategy and the competitive environment in which we operate. There can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful or that we will ultimately be able to attain profitability.

 

Additionally, our industry segment is relatively new, and is constantly evolving. As a result, there is a lack of available information with which to forecast industry trends or patterns. There is no assurance that sustainable industry trends or preferences will develop that will lead to predictable growth or earnings forecasts for individual companies or the industry segment as a whole. We are also unable to determine what impact future governmental regulation may have on trends and preferences or patterns within our industry segment.

We will need additional capital which may not be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all, and this raises questions about our ability to continue as a going concern.(*)

 

We need capital to support our operations and continue to market and commercialize our current Mango ED products. We may also require additional funding in the future to support our operations, expand our product line, pay expenses, or expand or complete acquisitions. The most likely source of future funds presently available to us will be through the sale of equity capital or debt. Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing shareholders. Furthermore, we may incur debt in the future, and may not have sufficient funds to repay our future indebtedness or may default on our future debts, jeopardizing our business viability.

 

We may not be able to borrow or raise additional capital in the future to meet our needs or to otherwise provide the capital necessary to expand our operations and business, which might result in the value of our securities decreasing in value or becoming worthless. Additional financing may not be available to us on terms that are acceptable. Consequently, we may not be able to proceed with our intended business plans. Obtaining additional financing contains risks, including:

 

  additional equity financing may not be available to us on satisfactory terms and any equity we are able to issue could lead to dilution for current shareholders;
     
  loans or other debt instruments may have terms and/or conditions, such as interest rate, restrictive covenants and control or revocation provisions, which are not acceptable to management or our directors;
     
  the current environment in capital markets combined with our capital constraints may prevent us from being able to obtain adequate debt financing; and
     
  if we fail to obtain required additional financing to commercialize our products and grow our business, we would need to delay or scale back our business plan, reduce our operating costs, or delay product launches, each of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, future prospects, and financial condition.

 

Additionally, we may have difficulty obtaining additional funding, and we may have to accept terms that would adversely affect our shareholders. For example, the terms of any future financings may impose restrictions on our right to declare dividends (provided that none are currently planned) or on the manner in which we conduct our business. Additionally, lending institutions or private investors may impose restrictions on a future decision by us to make capital expenditures, acquisitions or significant asset sales. If we are unable to raise additional funds, we may be forced to curtail or even abandon our business plan.

 

Risks Related to Our Business Activities

 

We may not be able to successfully commercialize our Mango ED products or any other potential future men’s wellness products.

 

We may not be able to effectively commercialize our Mango ED products or any other potential future men’s wellness products. If we are unable to successfully commercialize our Mango ED products or successfully develop, produce, launch and commercialize any other potential future men’s wellness products, our ability to generate product sales will be severely limited, which will have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We expect to face intense competition, often from companies with greater resources and experience than we have.

 

The health, wellness, and telemedicine industries are highly competitive and subject to rapid change. The industries continue to expand and evolve as an increasing number of competitors and potential competitors enter the market. Many of these competitors and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technological, managerial and research and development resources and experience than we have. We mainly compete with other companies offering men’s wellness products, including Hims & Hers Health, Inc. and Roman, and with our Mango ED products, we are also competing against much larger pharmaceutical companies who offer ED branded drugs like Viagra (Pfizer) and Cialis (marketed by Lilly ICOS LLC, a joint venture between Eli Lilly and Company and ICOS Corporation) and their generic forms. The majority of these competitors and potential competitors have more experience than we have in the development of health and wellness services and products. In addition, our planned services and products will compete with service and product offerings from large and well-established companies that have greater marketing and sales experience and capabilities than we or the parties with which we contract have. If we are unable to compete successfully, we may be unable to grow and sustain our revenue.

 

We believe that our ability to compete depends upon many factors both within and beyond our control, including:

 

  our marketing efforts;
     
  the flexibility and variety of our product offerings relative to our competitors, and our ability to timely launch new product initiatives;
     
  the quality and price of products offered by us and our competitors;
     
  our reputation and brand strength relative to our competitors;
     
  customer satisfaction;
     
  the size and composition of our customer base;
     
  the convenience of the experience that we provide;
     
  our ability to comply with, and manage the costs of complying with, laws and regulations applicable to our business; and
     
  our ability to cost-effectively source and distribute the products we offer and to manage our operation.

 

Many competitors also have longer operating histories, and will have larger fulfillment infrastructures, greater technical capabilities, faster shipping times, lower-cost shipping, lower operating costs, greater financial, marketing, institutional and other resources and larger consumer bases than we do. These factors may also allow our competitors to derive greater revenue and profits from their existing consumer bases, acquire consumers at lower costs or respond more quickly than we are able to, to new or emerging technologies and changes in product trends and consumer shopping behavior. These competitors may engage in more extensive research and development efforts, enter or expand their presence in any or all of the ecommerce or retail channels where we compete, undertake more far-reaching marketing campaigns, and adopt more aggressive pricing policies, which may allow them to build larger consumer bases or generate revenue from their existing consumer bases more effectively than we are able to. As a result, these competitors may be able to offer comparable or substitute products to consumers at similar or lower costs. This could put pressure on us to lower our prices, resulting in lower revenue and margins or cause us to lose market share even if we lower prices.

 

Furthermore, companies with greater resources or more well-known brand names may attempt to compete with us, and as a result, we may lose current or potential customers and may be unable to generate sufficient revenues to support our operations, any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to grow and our results of operations.

 

We may not successfully compete with larger competitors that have greater financial, sales, technical and other resources. Companies with greater resources may acquire our competitors or launch new products, and they may be able to use their resources and scale to respond to competitive pressures and changes in consumer preferences by reducing prices or increasing promotional activities, among other things.

If we fail to successfully provide a good customer experience, including by developing new product offerings, our ability to attract members and customers may be materially adversely affected.

 

Our ability to obtain customers and retain future customers, attract customers and increase customer engagement with us will depend in part on our ability to successfully implement and improve our customer experience, including by continuing to create and introduce new product offerings, improving upon and enhancing our existing product offerings and strengthening our customers interactions with our brand and products. If new or enhanced product offerings are unsuccessful, we may be unable to attract or retain customers and our operating results could be materially adversely affected. Furthermore, new or shifting customer demands, tastes or interests, superior competitive offerings or a deterioration in our product offering quality or our ability to bring new or enhanced product offerings to market quickly and efficiently could negatively affect the attractiveness of our products and the economics of our business and require us to make substantial changes to and additional investments in our product offerings or business model.

 

We may expend our limited resources to pursue particular products or services and may fail to capitalize on products or services that may be more profitable or for which there is a greater likelihood of success.(*)

 

Because we have limited financial and managerial resources, we must focus our efforts on particular service programs and products. As a result, we may forego or delay pursuit of opportunities with other services or products that later prove to have greater commercial potential. Our resource allocation decisions may cause us to fail to capitalize on viable commercial products or profitable market opportunities. Any such failure could result in missed opportunities and/or our focus on products or services with low market potential, which would harm our business and financial condition. Funds raised in the IPO are earmarked for among other things, branding, marketing and selling our ED product, and does not include and capital allocated for future products or services anticipated to be sold in the future under the ‘Mango’ label and brand.

 

We have entered into a Master Services Agreement and Statement of Work with Epiq Scripts, LLC, a related party, which entity is currently licensed to provide pharmacy services in only 47 states and the District of Columbia.(*)

 

We have entered into a Master Services Agreement and Statement of Work (SOW) for Epiq Scripts, a related party, 51% owned and controlled by Jacob D. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to provide us pharmacy and compounding services. Epiq Scripts has filed with the Utilization Review Accreditation Commission (“URAC”) to obtain its pharmacy accreditation and has State Board of Pharmacy (or its equivalent) licenses in 47 states and the District of Columbia: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. It is also in the process of applying for additional state licenses and plans to eventually obtain licenses in all 50 states by the end of 2023. As a result of the above, Epiq Scripts can currently only provide the Services to us in the 47 states described above and the District of Columbia, and we are unable to sell products to any customers in any states other than those 47 states and the District of Columbia, until Epiq Scripts is able to obtain licenses in other states and is limited to selling products to customers only in the states in which Epiq Scripts holds licenses.

 

The Master Services Agreement does not address product liability claims which may result in us bringing legal claims or actions against Epiq Scripts to attempt to seek indemnification or contribution for product liability claims.

 

Each party to the Master Services Agreement agreed to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other and the other party’s officers, directors, shareholders, employees, and agents from and against any and all nonparty claims, or actions for damages, liabilities (including strict liability), penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees, expenses and costs) to the proportionate extent caused by (1) the negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnitor or any of its employees or agents in connection with the performance of the agreement, or (2) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant under the agreement by the indemnitor or any of its employees or agents. Additionally, the parties agreed that neither party will be liable to the other for special, incidental, or exemplary damages, subject to certain limited exceptions. The Master Services Agreement does not address product liability claims or assign any rights of indemnification or contribution in connection therewith. As a result, in the event of product liability claims, we may be forced to bring legal claims or actions against Epiq Scripts to attempt to seek indemnification or contribution for product liability claims, to the extent that we are sued in connection with such claims and Epiq Scripts isn’t sued or that we are found primarily liable for such claims. Such claims may be costly, time consuming, and may not ultimately result in a favorable outcome to us, all of which may have an adverse effect on the value of our securities.

We currently owe certain rights to Epic Scrips under the Management Services Agreement. (+)

 

On September 1, 2022, and effective on August 30, 2022, we entered into the Master Services Agreement with Epiq Scripts, which was amended on September 15, 2023. Pursuant to the Master Services Agreement and a related statement of work (“SOW”), Epiq Scripts agreed to provide pharmacy and related services to us, we agreed to exclusively use Epiq Scripts as the provider of online fulfillment, specialty compounding, packaging, shipping, dispensing and distribution services relating to products sold exclusively via our website, that may be prescribed as part of a telehealth consultation on our platform, during the term of the Master Services Agreement, so long as Epiq Scripts complies with the terms of the Master Services Agreement. The agreement also includes a 30-day right of first refusal for Epiq Scripts to provide pharmacy services for any new product that Mango may introduce during the term of the Master Services Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Master Services Agreement, as amended, Epiq Scripts has certain rights in the event that the Company seeks to obtain pharmaceutical services in connection with certain Company products (collectively, “Pharmaceutical Services”) in jurisdictions other than the United States, including, without limitation, Mexico and the United Kingdom, where Epiq Scripts does not currently maintain licenses or permits (“Future Jurisdictions”, which shall also include, to the extent applicable, any state in the United States in which Epiq Scripts does not then hold required permits or licenses for the provision of the Pharmaceutical Services) and/or to terminate Epiq Scripts’ rights to provide exclusive Pharmaceutical Services in any current state of the United States or Future Jurisdiction where Epiq Scripts may then be providing Pharmaceutical Services to the Company (each a “Current Jurisdiction”).

 

Specifically, should the Company decide to transfer any services provided by Epiq Scripts in a Current Jurisdiction to another pharmaceutical service provider (“Transferred Services”), the Company will be required to pay Epiq Scripts a fee of 1% of the total gross sales of all Prescription Products (defined below) by the Company resulting from the Transferred Services in the Current Jurisdiction, for a period of the lesser of (a) five (5) years from the date the Company transferred the Transferred Services; and (b) through the end of the term of the Master Services Agreement (including where applicable, any renewal term)(the “Non-Use Fee”). The Non-Use Fee is payable monthly in arrears, for calendar quarters, by the 15th day following the end of each calendar quarter. “Prescription Products” means Products (as defined in the Master Services Agreement) sold by the Company which must be prescribed by a medical doctor.

 

Notwithstanding the above, the Non-Use Fee shall not apply, and the Company shall not be obligated to pay any Non-Use Fee (a) in the event that the Transferred Services are provided directly by the Company or a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company; (b) in the event the Company decides to enter into an agreement with another pharmaceutical service provider to provide Pharmaceutical Services in a Future Jurisdiction; or (c) in connection with any services provided by any parties in any Future Jurisdictions.

 

Pursuant to the Master Services Agreement, as amended, until September 15, 2028, the Company is required to notify Epiq Scripts in writing of any plans to (a) expand its need for pharmacy services outside of those contemplated by the Master Services Agreement; (b) expand its need for pharmacy services into a new jurisdiction which Epiq Scripts does not then operate in (including, but not limited to new countries); or (c) begin providing pharmacy services internally (either through organic growth or acquisition). Thereafter Epiq Scripts has the right to provide the Company written notice of its intention to provide such services (as described in (a) or (b) above, whereafter the Company is required to discuss and negotiate such services in good faith with Epiq Scripts for a period of not less than 15 days). Otherwise, in the event of the occurrence of an event discussed in (c) above, the Company is required to discuss the possibility of Epiq Scripts either co-operating the pharmacy or providing management services to the Company in good faith for 15 days. In the event after such 15 day period, the Company and Epiq Scripts cannot come to a mutually agreeable agreement, the Company is under no further obligation regarding the matter set forth in the notice provided to Epiq Scripts.

 

The rights and obligations set forth above could have a material adverse effect on the Company, its plans for future products and expansions, or make such future products or expansion more costly or time consuming.

We currently exclusively rely, and continue to continue to exclusively rely, on Epiq Scripts, a related party entity with a limited operating history, for our pharmacy compounding services.(*)

 

We have entered into a Master Services Agreement with Epiq Scripts, a related party, 51% owned and controlled by Jacob D. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to operate as our sole and exclusive licensed pharmacy to compound our Mango ED to customers, assuming such Mango ED products are prescribed by physicians pursuant to our agreement with BrighterMD, LLC doing business as Doctegrity (“Doctegrity”). Epiq Scripts was only formed in January 2022, and has only been compounding drugs for patients for a short period of time. We currently exclusively rely, and continue to continue to exclusively rely, on Epiq Scripts. We face risks relying on a newly formed pharmacy with limited operations. Those risks include risks that Epiq Scripts will not be able to follow applicable regulatory guidelines relating to, will not be able to timely or cost effectively complete, or may not correctly, fulfill, specialty compound, package, ship, dispense and/or distribute our Mango ED products. If Epiq Scripts is not able to scale its operations to meet the demand of our operations, or is unable to undertake any of the actions described above, our business may be materially and adversely affected, we may need to find a new partner pharmacy, which may charge us more money for its services or may not have as favorable contract terms, we may be delayed or prevented from selling our Mango ED products, and may face fines, penalties or litigation. In the event of the occurrence of any of the above, the value of our securities may decline in value or become worthless.

 

Our business depends on our brand, and any failure to maintain, protect or enhance our brand, including as a result of events outside our control, could materially adversely affect our business.

 

We believe our future success depends on our ability to maintain and grow the value of the “Mango” brand. Maintaining, promoting and positioning our brand and reputation will depend on, among other factors, the success of our marketing and merchandising efforts and our ability to provide a consistent, high-quality customer experience. Any negative publicity, regardless of its accuracy, could materially adversely affect our business. Brand value is based in large part on perceptions of subjective qualities, and any incident that erodes the loyalty of our customers, including adverse publicity or a governmental investigation or litigation, could significantly reduce the value of our brand and significantly damage our business.

 

The value of our brand also depends on effective customer support to provide a high-quality customer experience, which requires significant personnel expense. If not managed properly, this expense could impact our profitability. Failure to manage or train our own or outsourced customer support representatives properly, or our inability to hire sufficient customer support representatives could result in lower-quality customer support and/or increased customer response times, compromising our ability to handle customer complaints effectively.

Our ability to gain and increase market acceptance and generate commercial revenues is subject to a variety of risks, many of which are out of our control.

 

Our Mango ED products and any other potential future men’s wellness products may not gain or increase market acceptance among physicians, patients, healthcare payors or the medical community. We believe that the degree of market acceptance and our ability to generate commercial revenues from such products will depend on a number of factors, including:

Our Mango ED and/or future products may fail to achieve market acceptance or generate significant revenue to achieve sustainable profitability. In addition, our efforts to educate the medical community and third-party payors on the safety and benefits of our drugs may require significant resources and may not be successful.

 

We may be unable to scale our operations fast enough to bring down our cost of sales and generate revenues sufficient to support our operations.

 

We believe that in general, the faster we are able to scale up our operations, the lower our cost of sales, as a percentage of revenue, will be, as we believe that certain economics of scale exist with our operations. If we are unable to grow our business fast enough to take advantage of these economies of scale, our operations may suffer, and we may not be profitable.

Economic downturns or a change in consumer preferences, perception and spending habits could limit consumer demand for our products and negatively affect our future business.

 

The products that we sell and plan to sell in the future (including our Mango ED products) may be adversely affected from time to time by economic downturns that impact consumer spending, including discretionary spending. Future economic conditions such as employment levels, business conditions, housing starts, market volatility, interest rates, inflation rates, energy and fuel costs and tax rates, or our actions in response to these conditions, such as price increases, could reduce consumer spending or change consumer purchasing habits.

 

Our performance depends significantly on factors that may affect the level and pattern of consumer spending in the markets in which we operate. Such factors include consumer preference, consumer confidence, consumer income, consumer perception of the safety and quality of our future products and shifts in the perceived value for our products relative to alternatives. A general decline in the consumption of our future products could occur at any time as a result of change in consumer preference, perception, confidence and spending habits, including an unwillingness to pay a premium or an inability to purchase our products due to financial hardship or increased price sensitivity, which may be exacerbated by inflationary pressures, interest rates, and economic uncertainty. If consumer preferences shift away from our products, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

The success of our products depend on a number of factors including our ability to accurately anticipate changes in market demand and consumer preferences, our ability to differentiate the quality of our future products from those of our competitors, and the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising campaigns for our products. We may not be successful in identifying trends in consumer preferences and developing products that respond to such trends in a timely manner. We also may not be able to effectively promote our products by our marketing and advertising campaigns and gain market acceptance. If our products fail to gain market acceptance, are restricted by regulatory requirements or have quality problems, we may not be able to fully recover costs and expenses incurred in our operation, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected.

 

We rely upon independent third-party transportation providers for all of our product shipments and are subject to increased shipping costs as well as the potential inability of our third-party transportation providers to deliver on a timely basis.

 

We rely upon independent third-party transportation providers for all of our product shipments, including shipments from our related party pharmacy to our customers. Our utilization of these third-party delivery services for shipments is subject to risks which may impact a shipping company’s ability to provide delivery services that adequately meet our shipping needs, including risks related to employee strikes, labor and capacity constraints, port security considerations, trade policy changes or restrictions, military conflicts, acts of terrorism, accidents, natural disasters and inclement weather. Any interruption in service provided by our shipping companies could cause temporary disruptions in our business, a loss of sales and profits, and other material adverse effects. In addition, we are subject to increased shipping costs when fuel prices increase, as we use expedited means of transportation such as air freight. If we change the shipping company we use, we could face logistical difficulties that could adversely affect deliveries, and we would incur costs and expend resources in connection with such change.

 

The failure of our physician services provider, Doctegrity, to attract and retain physicians in a competitive labor market could limit our ability to execute our growth strategy, resulting in a slower rate of growth.(*)

 

The success of our wellness business will depend on the ability of Doctegrity and any future contracted telemedicine services provider(s) to continue to recruit and retain a sufficient number of qualified licensed doctors. Although we believe such provider(s) will have an effective recruitment process, there is no assurance that such provider(s) will be able to secure arrangements with sufficient numbers of licensed doctors or retain the services of such practitioners. If Doctegrity or any of provider(s) we engage in the future, experience delays or shortages in obtaining access to qualified physicians, we would be unable to operate and may be forced to seek alternative arrangements which could be more costly or may be forced to suspend our business operations.

If we are unable to maintain or enter into future agreements with suppliers or our suppliers fail to supply us with our Mango ED products ingredients or any other potential future men’s wellness products, we may experience delays in selling our products.(*)

 

We may not be successful in maintaining or entering into new supply agreements on reasonable terms or at all or that we or our suppliers will be able to obtain or maintain the necessary regulatory approvals or state and federal controlled substances registrations for current or potential future suppliers in a timely manner or at all. If we are unable to obtain a sufficient quantity of active pharmaceutical ingredients manufactured at a facility that is registered and listed with the FDA and required to produce products, there could be a delay in producing products, which could adversely affect our product sales and operating results materially, which could significantly harm our business. This has not occurred to date.

 

We currently do not have any manufacturing facilities and intend to rely on third parties for the supply of our products (such as Epiq Scripts, which is a related party), as well as for the supply of materials. However, we cannot be certain that we or our suppliers will be able to obtain or maintain the necessary regulatory approvals or registrations for these suppliers in a timely manner or at all.

 

Our business is exposed to risks associated with credit card and other online payment chargebacks and fraud.

 

A majority of our revenue is, and is expected to be, processed through credit cards and other online payments. If we experience refunds or chargebacks, our processors could require us to create reserves, increase fees or terminate contracts with us, which would have an adverse effect on our financial condition. Our failure to limit fraudulent transactions conducted on our website, such as through the use of stolen credit card numbers, could also subject us to liability and adversely impact our reputation. Under credit card association rules, penalties may be imposed at the discretion of the association for inadequate fraud protection. Any such potential penalties would be imposed on our credit card processor by the association. However, we face the risk that we may fail to maintain an adequate level of fraud protection and that one or more credit card associations or other processors may, at any time, assess penalties against us or terminate our ability to accept credit card payments or other form of online payments from customers, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

 

We could also incur significant fines or lose our ability to give customers the option of using credit cards to pay for our products if we fail to follow payment card industry data security standards, even if there is no compromise of customer information. Although we believe that we operate in compliance with payment card industry data security standards, it is possible that at times we may not be in full compliance with these standards. Accordingly, we could be fined, which could impact our financial condition, or our ability to accept credit and debit cards as payment could be suspended, which would cause us to be unable to process payments using credit cards. If we are unable to accept credit card payments, our business, financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected.

 

In addition, we could be liable if there is a breach of the payment information. Online commerce and communications depend on the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks. We rely on encryption and authentication technology to authenticate and secure the transmission of confidential information, including cardholder information. However, this technology may not prevent breaches of the systems we use to protect cardholder information. In addition, some of our contracting parties may also collect or possess information about our customers, and we may be subject to litigation or our reputation may be harmed if our contracting parties fail to protect our customers’ information or if they use it in a manner inconsistent with our policies and practices. Data breaches can also occur as a result of non-technical issues. Under contracts with processors, if there is unauthorized access to, or disclosure of, credit card information we store, we could be liable to the credit card issuing banks for their cost of issuing new cards and related expenses.

Security breaches, loss of data and other disruptions could compromise sensitive information related to our business or customers, or prevent us from accessing critical information and expose us to liability, which could adversely affect our business and our reputation.

 

In the ordinary course of our business, we collect, store, use and disclose sensitive data, including health information and other types of personally identifiable information, or PII. We also process and store, and use additional third parties to process and store, confidential and proprietary information such as intellectual property and other proprietary business information, including that of our customers, providers and contracting parties.

 

Security breaches of this infrastructure, including physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses, attacks by hackers and similar breaches, and employee or contractor error, negligence or malfeasance, can create system disruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized disclosure or modifications of information, causing sensitive, confidential or proprietary information to be accessed or acquired without authorization or to become publicly available. Because of the nature of the sensitive, confidential and proprietary information that we expect to collect, store, transmit, and otherwise process, the security of our technology platform and other aspects of our services, including those provided or facilitated by our third-party service providers, will be important to our operations and business strategy. Measures taken to protect our systems, those of our third-party service providers, or sensitive, confidential and proprietary information that we or our third-party service providers process or maintain, may not adequately protect us from the risks associated with the collection, storage and transmission of such information. A security breach or privacy violation that leads to disclosure or unauthorized use or modification of, or that prevents access to or otherwise impacts the confidentiality, security, or integrity of, sensitive, confidential, or proprietary information we or our third-party service providers maintain or otherwise process, could harm our reputation, compel us to comply with breach notification laws, and cause us to incur significant costs for remediation, fines, penalties, notification to individuals and governmental authorities, implementation of measures intended to repair or replace systems or technology and to prevent future occurrences, potential increases in insurance premiums, and forensic security audits or investigations. As a result, a security breach or privacy violation could result in increased costs or loss of revenue.

 

Any actual or suspected security breach or other compromise of our security measures or those of our third-party vendors, whether as a result of hacking efforts, denial-of-service attacks, viruses, malicious software, break-ins, phishing attacks, social engineering or otherwise, could harm our reputation and business, damage our brand and make it harder to retain existing customers or acquire new ones, require us to expend significant capital and other resources to address the breach, and result in a violation of applicable laws, regulations or other legal obligations. Our insurance policies may not cover, or may not be adequate to reimburse us for, losses caused by any such security breach.

 

We rely on email and other messaging services to connect with our existing and potential customers. Our customers may be targeted by parties using fraudulent spoofing and phishing emails to misappropriate passwords, payment information or other personal information or to introduce viruses through Trojan horse programs or otherwise through our customers’ computers, smartphones, tablets or other devices. Despite our efforts to mitigate the effectiveness of such malicious email campaigns through product improvements, spoofing and phishing may damage our brand and increase our costs. Any of these events or circumstances could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

 

As of the date of this filing, there have been no such data breaches or other security related issues.

 

We may experience fluctuations in our tax obligations and effective tax rate, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

We are subject to taxes in every jurisdiction in which we operate. We record tax expense based on current tax liabilities and our estimates of future tax liabilities, which may include reserves for estimates of probable settlements of tax audits. At any one-time, multiple tax years are subject to audit by various taxing jurisdictions. The results of these audits and negotiations with taxing authorities may affect the ultimate settlement of these issues. Further, our effective tax rate in a given financial statement period may be materially impacted by changes in tax laws, changes in the mix and level of earnings by taxing jurisdictions, or changes to existing accounting rules or regulations. Fluctuations in our tax obligations and effective tax rate could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

If we become subject to product liability claims, we may be required to pay damages that exceed our insurance coverage, if any.

 

Our products are subject to risks for product liability claims due to inherent potential side effects. We may be unable to obtain or maintain product liability coverage. A product liability claim in excess of, or excluded from, our insurance coverage which currently covers exposure to product liability claims, both technology products and physical products, would have to be paid out of cash reserves and could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition and results of operations. Product liability insurance is expensive even with large self-insured retentions or deductibles, difficult to maintain, and current or increased coverage may not continue to be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against a product liability claim, we may incur substantial liabilities. Regardless of merit or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in:

 

  injury to our reputation;
     
  costs of defending the claim and/or related litigation;
     
  cost of any potential adverse verdict;
     
  substantial monetary awards to patients or other claimants; and
     
  the inability to commercialize our products.

 

Damages awarded in a product liability action could be substantial and could have a negative impact on our financial condition. Whether or not we were ultimately successful in product liability litigation, such litigation would consume substantial amounts of our financial and managerial resources, and might result in adverse publicity, all of which would impair our business.

 

For example, a 2014 study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association determined that Sildenafil (the active ingredient in Viagra and one of the ingredients we alternatively use, together with Sildenafil in our Mango ED product) may be associated with a higher risk of developing melanoma. The study evaluated data from more than 25,000 men who used Sildenafil and found that Sildenafil use was significantly associated with an increased risk of subsequent melanoma, after considering other risk factors. It is possible that the ingredients we use in our Mango ED products or any other products we sell (including our Mango ED product, which is made with Sildenafil as an alternative to Tadalafil), could be found to result in increases in the likelihood of developing cancer or other diseases, which could subject us to litigation, penalties or recalls, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and cause the value of our securities to decline in value or become worthless. Furthermore, our use of Sildenafil in our products could subject us to litigation, penalties or recalls, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and cause the value of our securities to decline in value or become worthless.

 

Disruptions in our data and information systems could harm our reputation and our ability to run our business.

 

We rely extensively on data and information systems for our supply chain, financial reporting, human resources and various other operations, processes and transactions. Furthermore, a significant portion of the communications between us, our suppliers and customers depend on information technology. Our data and information systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, computer and telecommunications failures, computer viruses, security breaches (including breaches of our transaction processing or other systems that could result in the compromise of confidential customer data), catastrophic events, data breaches and usage errors by our employees or third-party service providers. Our data and information technology systems may also fail to perform as we anticipate, and we may encounter difficulties in adapting these systems to changing technologies or expanding them to meet the future needs of our business. If our systems are breached, damaged or cease to function properly, we may have to make significant investments to fix or replace them, suffer interruptions in our operations, incur liability to our customers and others or face costly litigation, and our reputation with our customers may be harmed. We also rely on third parties for a majority of our data and information systems, including for third-party hosting and payment processing. If these facilities fail, or if they suffer a security breach or interruption or degradation of service, a significant amount of our data could be lost or compromised and our ability to operate our business and deliver our product offerings could be materially impaired. In addition, various third parties, such as our suppliers and payment processors, also rely heavily on information technology systems, and any failure of these systems could also cause loss of sales, transactional or other data and significant interruptions to our business. Any material interruption in the data and information technology systems we rely on, including the data or information technology systems of third parties, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Risks Related to Legal, Regulatory and Government

 

We incur significant costs to ensure compliance with U.S. and Nasdaq reporting and corporate governance requirements.

 

We incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements and with applicable U.S. and Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the SEC and Nasdaq. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to retain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our Board of Directors or as executive officers.

 

If we fail to comply with government laws and regulations it could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

 

The health care industry is subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to licensure, conduct of operations, ownership of facilities, addition of facilities and services, payment for services and prices for services that are extremely complex and for which, in many instances, the industry does not have the benefit of significant regulatory or judicial interpretation. We exercise care in structuring our arrangements with physicians and other referral sources to attempt to comply in all material respects with applicable laws. We also take such laws into account when planning future marketing and other activities, and expect that our operations are in compliance with applicable laws. The laws, rules and regulations described above are complex and subject to interpretation. In the event of a determination that we are in violation of such laws, rules or regulations, or if further changes in the regulatory framework occur, any such determination or changes could have a material adverse effect on our business. There can be no assurance however that we will not be found in noncompliance in any particular situation.

 

Separately, Federal law limits compounded drugs that are “essentially copies” of commercially available FDA approved drugs, including those with the same route of administration. If our Mango ED products, or any future products we may choose to market in the future are deemed to be “essentially copies” of commercially available FDA approved drugs we would be prohibited from compounding such drugs and would be unable to sell our Mango ED drug or future products. If that were to occur, we would need to change our business plan which would require substantial additional expenses and would have a material adverse effect on our cash flows and the value of our securities.

 

Marketing activities for our Mango ED products are subject to strict governmental regulation which may limit our ability to market or promote such product.

 

Our business model depends on qualifying for certain statutory exemptions for drugs that are compounded by pharmacies in accordance with applicable requirements. Pharmacy compounding is also subject to state oversight and regulation. Federal requirements include obtaining individual prescriptions establishing that the compounded drug is necessary for each drug prescribed for each of our customers. Federal law also limits compounded drugs that are “essentially copies” of commercially available FDA approved drugs, including those with the same route of administration. These restrictions will limit our ability to market compounded drugs that have the same active ingredients and route of administration as FDA-approved drugs, unless the compounded version offers a significant difference that the prescriber determines is necessary for each individual patient.

The FDA also has the authority to impose significant restrictions on approved products through regulations on advertising, promotional and distribution activities. In particular, the FDA will object to any promotional activity (including through testimonials and surrogates) that is “false or misleading in any particular,” including the failure to disclose material facts. For example, the FDA will expect adequate substantiation for an efficacy claim, which would require substantial evidence derived from adequate and well-controlled clinical trials. We believe we can conduct truthful and non-misleading promotional activities, including activities involving the use of testimonials and surrogates, with limited claims that do not require substantial evidence derived from adequate and well-controlled clinical trials and which do not include efficacy claims. If our products (including our Mango ED products) are marketed in contradiction with FDA laws and regulations, the FDA may issue warning letters that require specific remedial measures to be taken, as well as an immediate cessation of the impermissible conduct, resulting in adverse publicity. The FDA may also require that all future promotional materials receive prior agency review and approval before use. Certain states have also adopted regulations and reporting requirements surrounding the promotion of pharmaceuticals. Failure by us or any of our collaborators to comply with state requirements may affect our ability to promote or sell future products in certain states. This, in turn, could have a material adverse impact on our financial results and financial condition and could subject us to significant liability, including civil and administrative remedies as well as criminal sanctions.

 

These restrictions may be more burdensome for compounded products as compared with FDA approved products because the latter have substantial evidence of safety and effectiveness, which will limit our ability to compete against the sale of comparable FDA-approved products.

 

Evolving government regulations and enforcement activities may require increased costs or adversely affect our results of operations.

 

Our operations may be subject to direct and indirect adoption, expansion or reinterpretation of various laws and regulations. Compliance with these evolving laws, regulations and interpretations may require us to change our practices at an undeterminable and possibly significant initial monetary and annual expense. These additional monetary expenditures may increase future overhead, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. There could also be laws and regulations applicable to our business that we have not identified or that, if changed, may be costly to us, and we cannot predict all the ways in which implementation of such laws and regulations may affect us.

 

Additionally, the introduction of new products may require us to comply with additional, yet undetermined, laws and regulations. Compliance may require obtaining appropriate federal, state, or local licenses or certificates, increasing our security measures and expending additional resources to monitor developments in applicable rules and ensure compliance. The failure to adequately comply with these future laws and regulations may delay or possibly prevent our products from being offered to customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Failure to comply with federal, state and foreign laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection and consumer protection, or the expansion of current or the enactment of new laws or regulations relating to privacy, data protection and consumer protection, could adversely affect our business and our financial condition.

 

A variety of federal, state and foreign laws and regulations govern the collection, use, retention, sharing and security of consumer data. Laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection and consumer protection are evolving and subject to potentially differing interpretations. These requirements may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another or may conflict with other rules or our practices. As a result, our practices may not comply with all such laws, regulations, requirements and obligations. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with any federal, state or foreign privacy or consumer protection-related laws, regulations, industry self-regulatory principles, industry standards or codes of conduct, regulatory guidance, orders to which we may be subject or other legal obligations relating to privacy or consumer protection could adversely affect our reputation, brand and business, and may result in claims, investigations, proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others or other liabilities or require us to change our operations.

 

We collect, store, process, and use personal information and other customer data, and will rely on third parties that are not directly under our control to manage certain of these operations and to collect, store, process and use payment information. Our customers’ personal information may include names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, payment card data, and payment account information, as well as other information. Due to the volume and sensitivity of the personal information and data we and these third parties manage, the security features of our information systems are critical. If our security measures, some of which are managed by third parties, are breached or fail, unauthorized persons may be able to access sensitive customer data, including payment card data. If we or our independent service providers or business partners experience a breach of systems that collect, store or process our members’ and customers’ sensitive data, our brand could be harmed, sales of our products could decrease, and we could be exposed to claims, losses, administrative fines, litigation or regulatory and governmental investigations and proceedings. Any such claim, investigation, proceeding or action could hurt our reputation, brand and business, force us to incur significant expenses in defense of such proceedings, distract our management, increase our costs of doing business, result in a loss of customers and suppliers and may result in the imposition of monetary penalties and administrative fines. Depending on the nature of the information compromised, we may also have obligations to notify users, law enforcement, or payment companies about the incident and may need to provide some form of remedy, such as refunds, for the individuals affected by the incident.

 

Privacy laws, rules, and regulations are constantly evolving in the United States and abroad and may be inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another. We expect that new industry standards, laws and regulations will continue to be proposed regarding privacy, data protection and information security in many jurisdictions, including privacy acts previously adopted by the states of California, Virginia, Colorado, Utah, Connecticut, Iowa, Indiana, Tennessee, Montana, Texas and Oregon, certain of which are already effective, and certain of which become effective during 2023, and from 2024 to 2026. We cannot yet determine the impact such future laws, regulations and standards may have on our business. Complying with these evolving obligations is costly. For instance, expanding definitions and interpretations of what constitutes “personal data” (or the equivalent) within the United States and elsewhere may increase our compliance costs. Any failure to comply could give rise to unwanted media attention and other negative publicity, damage our customer and consumer relationships and reputation, and result in lost sales, claims, administrative fines, lawsuits or regulatory and governmental investigations and proceedings and may harm our business and results of operations.

Our Mango ED products have not been, and will not be, approved by the FDA. The use of such product may cause serious side effects which could subject us to material litigation, damages and penalties.(*)

 

Our Mango ED products have not been, and will not be, approved by the FDA. It is compounded using bulk drug substances and as such, we believe it is exempt from specific FDA approval, provided that it is compounded in accordance with statutory requirements. Because compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, the FDA does not verify their safety, effectiveness, or quality before they are marketed. In addition, poor compounding practices can result in serious drug quality problems, such as contamination or a drug that contains too much or too little active ingredient, among other possible quality deficiencies.

 

We are not aware of any clinical studies involving the administration of sildenafil or tadalafil sublingually at the doses we intend to provide patients, or the compounding of sildenafil or tadalafil, oxytocin, and L-arginine to treat ED, as is contemplated by our ED product. Because our ED product has not been, and will not be, approved by the FDA our product has not had the benefit of the FDA’s clinical trial protocol which seeks to prevent the possibility of serious patient injury and death. If this were to occur, we could be subject to litigation and governmental action, which could result in costly litigation, significant fines, judgments or penalties. For example, in October 2012, a pharmacy in Massachusetts shipped compounded drugs that were contaminated with a fungus throughout the country, and these drugs were injected into patients’ spines and joints. More than 750 people in 20 states developed fungal infections, and more than 60 people died. This type of action could have a significant negative impact on our brand name, results of operations and cash flows, and result in us having to cease selling products, curtailing our business plan, or seeking bankruptcy protection.

 

The main ingredients of our Mango ED products are publicly disclosed and separately our Mango ED products are being specially compounded for the customer by a pharmacist with a physician’s prescription, and as a result, our Mango ED products formula can be replicated by other companies.

 

Our Mango ED products are made up of the following three ingredients: Either Sildenafil (50 milligrams (mg) or Tadalafil (10 (mg)), Oxytocin (100 International units (IU)) and L-Arginine (50mg); and (2) either Sildenafil (100mg) or Tadalafil (20mg), Oxytocin (100IU) and L-Arginine (50mg), an amino acid that is available as a dietary supplement. However, the fact that Sildenafil, Tadalafil and Oxytocin are used in FDA approved drugs, and L-arginine is available as a dietary supplement, does not mean that these ingredients will prove safe when combined into a single formulation to treat ED. We currently offer two dosage levels of our Mango ED products and anticipate a prescribing doctor prescribing a dosage based on the needs and medical history of the patient. Additionally, because our Mango ED products are being specially compounded for the customer by a pharmacist with a physician’s prescription and because the ingredients for our Mango ED products are publicly disclosed, this product formula can be replicated by other companies. As a result, competitors, including those with greater resources, marketing, and brand recognition, may compete against us in the future using our exact product ingredients or variations thereof. We may be unable to distinguish our Mango ED products from copycat products and may not be able to differentiate our product from competitors in the marketplace. As a result, we may fail to obtain a significant market share, or may lose any market share we may obtain in the future, may be unable to compete with competitors, and may be forced to abandon or curtail our business plan, which could cause the value of our shares to decline in value or become worthless.

 

Our ED product needs to be compounded by licensed pharmacists who are subject to risks regarding applicable exemptions from the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

 

Section 503A of the FFDCA describes the conditions under which compounded human drug products are exempt from the FFDCA sections on FDA approval prior to marketing, current good manufacturing practice (“cGMP”) requirements, and labeling with adequate directions for use. One of these conditions is that the drugs must be compounded based on the receipt of valid patient-specific prescriptions. Our ED product needs to be compounded by licensed pharmacists, after being prescribed by a licensed physician. Licensed pharmacists who compound drug products in accordance with Section 503A of the FFDCA are not required to comply with CGMP requirements and the drugs that they compound are not required to be approved by the FDA, provided that the compounding complies with applicable requirements. Therefore, the FDA is often not aware of potential problems with compounded drug products or compounding practices unless it receives a complaint, such as a report of a serious adverse event or visible contamination. As such, the compounding of our products is subject to limited FDA oversight, which could lead to such products not being compounded safely and could lead to product recalls and litigation which could have a significant negative impact on our brand name, results of operations and cash flows, and result in us having to cease selling products, curtailing our business plan, or seeking bankruptcy protection. Neither we, nor our representatives have had any conversations with the FDA staff regarding whether our Mango ED products can be sold pursuant to Section 503A of the FFDCA Act and future conversations with the FDA may result in the FDA staff raising issues with such sales pursuant to Section 503A of the FFDCA, requiring certain pre-requisites or changes to our current business plan, which may be costly or time consuming, and/or may result in us being prohibited from selling our Mango ED products pursuant to Section 503A of the FFDCA Act. We also face risks that the compounding of our products does not fall within the exemption from the FFDCA provided by Section 503A thereof. For example, if the FDA determined that any of our products are essentially a copy of an FDA approved product, we would be severely limited in our ability to compound such a product. If any of the above were to apply, we may need to change our business plan or compounding activities, which could force us to curtail our business plan or expend significant additional resources to obtain FFDCA or FDA approval for our products.

Notwithstanding the above, under relevant FDA guidance, the FDA generally does not consider a compounded drug to be “essentially a copy” of a commercially available drug if the compounded drug has a different route of administration as compared with the approved alternative, and our Mango ED products are for a different route of administration (e.g., sublingual). In addition, we do not expect that we will be deemed to have engaged in such “copying”, because our Mango ED products are based on a prescriber’s determination for each patient that the change associated with the compounded product (our Mango ED products) produces for the patient a significant difference as compared with the commercially available drug product. Under relevant FDA guidance, the FDA does not consider a compounded drug “essentially a copy” if a prescriber determines that there is a change, made for an identified individual patient, which produces for that patient a significant difference from the commercially available product.

 

Health care services, including arrangements with health care professionals, are heavily regulated at the state level, and the laws and regulations may be changed or subject to new interpretations.

 

Each state separately licenses health care professionals and determines when and under what conditions they may interact with and provide services to patients. Telehealth consultations initiated through our platform must be offered in accordance with the laws and regulations of the state where a patient is located, which may include laws that restrict the corporate practice of medicine and fee splitting. Each state’s laws are subject to legislative and regulatory changes, as well as judicial interpretations, and future changes or interpretations of state laws restricting the corporate practice of medicine and fee splitting could adversely affect the permissibility of (a) our relationship with Doctegrity; and/or (b) Doctegrity’s relationship with its contracted physicians. If our relationship with Doctegrity and/or Doctegrity’s relationship with its contracted physicians needed to be restructured in light of any such adverse changes or interpretations, that restructuring could negatively affect our ability to connect consumers with medical providers in certain states, and thus those customers’ ability to ultimately receive our products.

 

We do not have a pharmacy and depend on a related party to compound our Mango product and other potential future men’s wellness products (*).

 

We rely on a related party pharmacy for the manufacture of our Mango product and will rely on this pharmacy or others for any potential future men’s wellness products we market and we cannot assure you that they will be successful. This subjects us to a number of risks, including the following:

 

  we may not be able to control the commercialization of our products, including the amount, timing and quality of resources that our contracting parties may devote to our products;
     
  our contracting parties may experience financial, regulatory or operational difficulties, which may impair their ability to fulfill their contractual obligations;
     
  business combinations or significant changes in a contracting parties’ business strategy may adversely affect a contracting party’s willingness or ability to perform their obligations under any arrangement;
     
  legal disputes or disagreements may occur with one or more of our contracting parties or between our contracting parties and our suppliers or former contracting parties; and
     
  a contracting party could independently move forward with a competing product developed either independently or in collaboration with others, including with one of our competitors.

 

If any of our contracting parties fail to fulfill their future contractual obligations, our business may be negatively affected and we may receive limited or no revenues under our agreements with them. See also the risk factor, “The related party pharmacy we have entered into an agreement with may not receive licenses in all of the 50 United States to provide national coverage for us to sell our Mango ED products and future products” below.

Our use and disclosure of personally identifiable information, including health information, is subject to federal and state privacy and security regulations, and our failure to comply with those regulations or to adequately secure the information we hold could result in significant liability or reputational harm and, in turn, a material adverse effect on our client base and revenue.

 

Numerous state and federal laws and regulations govern the collection, dissemination, use, privacy, confidentiality, security, availability and integrity of personally identifiable information, or PII, including protected health information, or PHI. These laws and regulations include the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their implementing regulations (referred to collectively as “HIPAA”). HIPAA establishes a set of basic national privacy and security standards for the protection of PHI. HIPAA requires us to develop and maintain policies and procedures with respect to PHI that is used or disclosed, including the adoption of administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect such information. HIPAA imposes mandatory penalties for certain violations. Penalties for violations of HIPAA and its implementing regulations start at $100 per violation and are not to exceed $50,000 per violation, subject to a cap of $1.5 million for violations of the same standard in a single calendar year. However, a single breach incident can result in violations of multiple standards. HIPAA also authorizes state attorneys general to file suit on behalf of their residents. Courts are able to award damages, costs and attorneys’ fees related to violations of HIPAA in such cases. While HIPAA does not create a private right of action allowing individuals to sue us in civil court for violations of HIPAA, its standards have been used as the basis for duty of care in state civil suits such as those for negligence or recklessness in the misuse or breach of PHI. In addition, HIPAA mandates that the Secretary of Health and Human Services, or HHS, conduct periodic compliance audits of HIPAA covered entities or business associates for compliance with the HIPAA Privacy and Security Standards. It also tasks HHS with establishing a methodology whereby harmed individuals who were the victims of breaches of unsecured PHI may receive a percentage of the Civil Monetary Penalty fine paid by the violator. HIPAA further requires that patients be notified of any unauthorized acquisition, access, use or disclosure of their unsecured PHI that compromises the privacy or security of such information, with certain exceptions related to unintentional or inadvertent use or disclosure by employees or authorized individuals. HIPAA specifies that such notifications must be made “without unreasonable delay and in no case later than 60 calendar days after discovery of the breach.” If a breach affects 500 patients or more, it must be reported to HHS without unreasonable delay, and HHS will post the name of the breaching entity on its public web site. Breaches affecting 500 patients or more in the same state or jurisdiction must also be reported to the local media. If a breach involves fewer than 500 people, the covered entity must record it in a log and notify HHS at least annually.

 

Numerous other federal and state laws protect the confidentiality, privacy, availability, integrity and security of PII, including PHI. These laws in many cases are more restrictive than, and may not be pre-empted by, the HIPAA rules and may be subject to varying interpretations by courts and government agencies, creating complex compliance issues for us and our clients and potentially exposing us to additional expense, adverse publicity and liability.

 

Because of the extreme sensitivity of the PII we store and transmit, the security features of our technology platform are very important. If our security measures are breached or fail, unauthorized persons may be able to obtain access to sensitive client data, including HIPAA-regulated PHI. As a result, our reputation could be severely damaged, adversely affecting client confidence. In addition, we could face litigation, damages for contract breach, penalties and regulatory actions for violation of HIPAA and other applicable laws or regulations and significant costs for remediation, notification to individuals and for measures to prevent future occurrences. Any potential security breach could also result in increased costs associated with liability for stolen assets or information, repairing system damage that may have been caused by such breaches, incentives offered to clients in an effort to maintain our business relationships after a breach and implementing measures to prevent future occurrences, including organizational changes, deploying additional personnel and protection technologies, training employees and engaging third-party experts and consultants.

Risks Related to Related Party Relationships and Transactions and Our Management

 

We depend heavily on our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who may have a conflict of interest. The ability of certain key employees to devote adequate time to us is critical to the success of our business, and failure to do so may adversely affect our revenues and as a result could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.(*)

 

We must retain the services of our key employees and strategically recruit and hire new talented employees. Our future business and results of operations depend in significant part upon the continued contributions of our senior management personnel, particularly our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Jacob D. Cohen. Mr. Cohen currently serves as a member of the Board of Directors of American International Holdings Corp., as a co-Manager and 51% owner of Epiq Scripts, and as Chief Executive Officer of Ronin Equity Partners, Inc., a private investment company, and in various positions with other entities and groups. Mr. Cohen currently spends approximately 75% of his time on Company matters. As a result, Mr. Cohen dedicates only a portion of his professional efforts to our business and operations, and there is no contractual obligation for him to spend a specific amount of his time with us. Mr. Cohen may not be able to dedicate adequate time to our business and operations and we could experience an adverse effect on our operations due to the demands placed on him from his other professional obligations. Such involvement in other businesses may therefore present a conflict of interest regarding decisions he makes for us or with respect to the amount of time available for us. If we lose his services or if he fails to perform in his current position, or if we are not able to attract and retain skilled personnel as needed, our business could suffer. Significant turnover in our senior management could significantly deplete our institutional knowledge held by our existing senior management team. We depend on the skills and abilities of these key personnel in managing our operations, product development, marketing and sales aspects of our business, any part of which could be harmed by turnover in the future.

 

Moving forward, should the services of Mr. Cohen be lost for any reason, we will incur costs associated with recruiting replacements and any potential delays in operations which this may cause. If we are unable to replace such individual with a suitably trained alternative individual(s), we may be forced to scale back or curtail our business plan.

 

Separately, if our executive officers do not devote sufficient time towards our business, we may never be able to effectuate our business plan.

 

We have engaged and in the future may engage in transactions with related parties and such transactions present possible conflicts of interest that could have an adverse effect on us.(*)

 

We have entered, and may continue to enter, into transactions with related parties for financing, corporate, business development and operational services. Included in such transactions is a Master Services Agreement and Statement of Work with Epiq Scripts, LLC, a related party, 51% owned and controlled by Jacob D. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, for pharmacy and compounding services. Such transactions may not have been/may not be, entered into on an arm’s-length basis, and we may have achieved more or less favorable terms because such transactions were entered into with our related parties. This could have a material effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Such conflicts could cause an individual in our management to seek to advance his or her economic interests or the economic interests of certain related parties above ours. Further, the appearance of conflicts of interest created by related party transactions could impair the confidence of our investors.

We are significantly reliant on related party relationships.(*)

 

We have entered into a Master Services Agreement and Statement of Work with Epiq Scripts, LLC, a related party, 51% owned and controlled by Jacob D. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who also serves as a co-Manager of Epiq Scripts, for pharmacy and compounding services. In the event that relationship is terminated, our costs may increase, and we may be unable to effectively obtain the services currently provided by Epiq Scripts, LLC. Additionally, certain of our consultants are employed by Epiq Scripts, LLC. We also anticipate entering into other related party relationships in the future. While we believe that all related party agreements have been and will be on arms-length terms, such significant related party relationships may be perceived negatively by potential shareholders or investors and/or may result in conflicts of interest. Each of our officers and directors (including those discussed above) presently has, and any of them in the future may have, additional fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which such officer or director may be required to present a business opportunity to such entity, subject to his or her fiduciary duties under applicable law. Additionally, such persons may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time among various business activities. These conflicts may not be resolved in our favor. Our significant related party relationships and transactions, the terms of such relationships and transactions, and/or the termination of any such relationships or transactions, may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations moving forward and/or create conflicts of interest or perceived conflicts of interest which may have a material adverse effect on the value of our securities.

 

The related party pharmacy we have entered into an agreement with may not receive licenses in all of the 50 United States to provide national coverage for us to sell our Mango ED products and future products.(*)

 

We have entered into a Master Services Agreement and Statement of Work with Epiq Scripts, LLC, a related party, 51% owned and controlled by Jacob D. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, for pharmacy and compounding services. Epiq Script’s ability to provide pharmacy services in each state is subject to among other things, receipt of regulatory approvals and licenses in the states in which it operates. Currently Epiq Scripts holds State Board of Pharmacy (or its equivalent) licenses to operate in the District of Columbia and 47 states: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. Its failure to receive regulatory approval or licenses in the other states in which we hope to operate, or loss of such licenses in the future, may prohibit us from selling our Mango products to customers that reside in those states limiting our ability to grow and compete with other companies that have those capabilities. Any of the above may have an adverse effect on our revenues, operations and cash flow and cause the value of our securities to decline in value or become worthless. We also face related party conflicts associated with our engagement of Epiq Scripts, LLC as discussed in greater detail above.

 

Jacob D. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Jonathan Arango, our President, Chief Operating Officer and Director, beneficially own greater than 50% of our outstanding common stock and exercises majority voting control over us, which will limit shareholders’ abilities to influence corporate matters and could delay or prevent a change in corporate control.(*)

 

Jacob D. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Jonathan Arango, our President, Chief Operating Officer and Director beneficially own approximately 53.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result, they control the shareholder vote. Consequently, they have the ability to influence matters affecting our shareholders and therefore exercises control in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including (i) making amendments to our certificate of formation; (ii) whether to issue additional shares of common stock and preferred stock, including to himself; (iii) employment decisions, including compensation arrangements; (iv) whether to enter into material transactions with related parties; (v) election of directors; and (vi) any merger or significant corporate transactions, including with himself or other related parties. Additionally, it will be difficult if not impossible for investors to remove our current directors (including, but not limited to Mr. Cohen and Mr. Arango), which will mean they will remain in control of who serves as officers of the Company as well as whether any changes are made in the Board of Directors. As a potential investor in the Company, you should keep in mind that even if you own shares of our common stock and wish to vote them at annual or special shareholder meetings, your shares will likely have little effect on the outcome of corporate decisions. Because Mr. Cohen and Mr. Arango control the vote on all shareholder matters, investors may find it difficult to replace our management if they disagree with the way our business is being operated. The interests of Mr. Cohen and Mr. Arango may not coincide with our interests or the interests of other shareholders.

Table of Contents

 

Mr. Cohen and Mr. Arango acquired their shares of common stock for substantially less than the price of the shares of common stock acquired in our IPO and/or the current trading price of our common stock, and may have interests, with respect to their common stock, that are different from other investors and the concentration of voting power held by Mr. Cohen and Mr. Arango may have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock.

 

In addition, this concentration of ownership might adversely affect the market price of our common stock by: (1) delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of our Company; (2) impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving our Company; or (3) discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our Company.

 

Potential competition from our existing executive officers, after they leave their employment with us, and subject to the non-compete terms of their employment agreements, could negatively impact our profitability.(*)

 

Although our Chief Executive Officer, Jacob D. Cohen, our President, Jonathan Arango, and our Chief Operating Officer, Amanda Hammer, are prohibited from competing with us while they are employed with us and for 12 months thereafter (subject to the terms of, and exceptions set forth in, their employment agreements with the Company), none of such individuals will be prohibited from competing with us after such 12-month period ends. Accordingly, any of these individuals could be in a position to use industry experience gained while working with us to compete with us. Such competition could distract or confuse customers, reduce the value of our intellectual property and trade secrets, or reduce our future revenues, earnings or growth prospects.

 

Risks Related to Intellectual Property

 

We operate in an industry with the risk of intellectual property litigation. Claims of infringement against us may hurt our business.

 

We must protect the proprietary nature of the intellectual property used in our business. There can be no assurance that trade secrets and other intellectual property will not be challenged, invalidated, misappropriated or circumvented by third parties.

 

Additionally, our success depends, in part, upon non-infringement of intellectual property rights owned by others and being able to resolve claims of intellectual property infringement without major financial expenditures or adverse consequences. Participants that own, or claim to own, intellectual property may aggressively assert their rights. From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims relating to the intellectual property rights of others. Future litigation may be necessary to defend us by determining the scope, enforceability, and validity of third-party proprietary rights or to establish its proprietary rights. Our competitors have substantially greater resources and are able to sustain the costs of complex intellectual property litigation to a greater degree and for longer periods of time. In addition, patent holding companies that focus solely on extracting royalties and settlements by enforcing patent rights may target us. Regardless of whether claims that we are infringing patents or other intellectual property rights have any merit, these claims are time-consuming and costly to evaluate and defend and could:

 

  cause delays or stoppages in providing products;
  divert management’s attention and resources;
  require technology changes to our products that would cause our Company to incur substantial cost;
  subject us to significant liabilities; and
  require us to cease some or all of our activities.

Table of Contents

 

In addition to liability for monetary damages, which may be tripled and may include attorneys’ fees, or, in some circumstances, damages against clients, we may be prohibited from developing, commercializing, or continuing to provide some or all of our products unless we obtain licenses from, and pay royalties to, the holders of the patents or other intellectual property rights, which may not be available on commercially favorable terms, or at all.

 

Risks Related to the Telehealth Operations of Our Contracting Parties

 

The telehealth business of our telehealth provider could be adversely affected by ongoing legal challenges or by new state actions restricting the ability to provide telehealth services in certain states.

 

We use telehealth providers to provide telehealth consultations and related services on our Mangoceuticals platform, which connects users/customers with third-party health care providers and Epiq Scripts, LLC, a related party pharmacy. We have entered into an agreement with Doctegrity, pursuant to which Doctegrity provides clinical services directly to our customers via telehealth. Through these arrangements, the professionals or professional entities are responsible for the practice of medicine and control of the clinical decision-making.

 

Our ability to conduct business operations in each state is dependent upon the state’s treatment of medicine under such state’s laws, and rules and policies governing the practice of physician supervised services, which are subject to changing political, regulatory and other influences.

 

We depend on our contracted parties to maintain appropriate telehealth licenses to be able to provide telehealth services to our potential customers and prescribe them our products, which are required to be prescribed by licensed physicians. In the event we are not able to maintain relationships with telehealth providers, state licensing laws make it harder, more costly or impossible to provide telehealth services, or our customers are otherwise unable to obtain prescriptions for our products, we may be unable to sell products, which could result in us having to curtail our business plan or cease operating.

 

Our contracting parties’ telehealth business could be adversely affected by ongoing legal challenges to their business model or by new state actions restricting their ability to provide the full range of services in certain states.

 

The ability of our contracted parties’ telehealth operations in each state is dependent upon the state’s treatment of medicine under such state’s laws, rules and policies governing the practice of physician supervised services, which are subject to changing political, regulatory and other influences. In the event our contracted parties are unable to provide telehealth services for any reason, it would have a material adverse effect on our ability to sell products and in turn our revenues and operating results.

 

Risks Related to Our Governing Documents and Texas Law

 

Our Certificate of Formation, Bylaws and Texas law provide for indemnification of officers and directors at our expense and limit the liability of our directors, which may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our shareholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of officers or directors.

 

Our Certificate of Formation, Bylaws and Texas law provide for us to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each person who is or was made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Company or, while a director or officer of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan. Our Certificate of Formation also provides that the personal liability of our directors is eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the Texas Business Organizations Code, as such may be amended or supplemented. These indemnification obligations and limitations of liability may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our shareholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of officers or directors.

 

52
Table of Contents

 

We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with our activities, we will (unless in the opinion of our counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling precedent) submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question whether indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The legal process relating to this matter if it were to occur is likely to be very costly and may result in us receiving negative publicity, either of which factors is likely to materially reduce the market and price for our shares.

 

We have established preferred stock which can be designated by our Board of Directors without shareholder approval.

 

We have 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized. The shares of our preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of which shall have a distinctive designation or title as shall be determined by our Board of Directors prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. The preferred stock shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as adopted by the Board of Directors. Because the Board of Directors is able to designate the powers and preferences of the preferred stock without the vote of a majority of our shareholders, our shareholders will have no control over what designations and preferences our preferred stock will have. The issuance of shares of preferred stock or the rights associated therewith, could cause substantial dilution to our existing shareholders. Additionally, the dilutive effect of any preferred stock which we may issue may be exacerbated given the fact that such preferred stock may have voting rights and/or other rights or preferences which could provide the preferred shareholders with substantial voting control over us and/or give those holders the power to prevent or cause a change in control, even if that change in control might benefit our shareholders. As a result, the issuance of shares of preferred stock may cause the value of our securities to decrease.

 

Anti-takeover provisions in our Certificate of Formation and our Bylaws, as well as provisions of Texas law, might discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company or changes in our management and, therefore, depress the trading price of our common stock.

 

Our Certificate of Formation, Bylaws and Texas law contain provisions that may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control that shareholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which you might otherwise receive a premium for your shares of our common stock. These provisions may also prevent or delay attempts by our shareholders to replace or remove our management. Our corporate governance documents include provisions:

 

  requiring advance notice of shareholder proposals for business to be conducted at meetings of our shareholders and for nominations of candidates for election to our Board of Directors;
     
  authorizing blank check preferred stock, which could be issued with voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to our common stock; and
     
  providing indemnification to, our directors and officers.

 

The existence of the foregoing provisions and anti-takeover measures could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. They could also deter potential acquirers of our company, thereby reducing the likelihood that you could receive a premium for your common stock in an acquisition.

Risks Related to Our Securities

 

Stockholders may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations through the issuance of additional shares of our common stock.(+)

 

Wherever possible, our Board of Directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. In many instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of restricted shares of our common stock or where shares are to be issued to our officers, directors and applicable consultants. Our Board of Directors has authority, without action or vote of the stockholders, but subject to Nasdaq rules and regulations (which generally require stockholder approval for any transactions which would result in the issuance of more than 20% of our then outstanding shares of common stock or voting rights representing over 20% of our then outstanding shares of stock), to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued shares of common stock. In addition, we may attempt to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock, possibly at a discount to market. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing stockholders, which may further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material. Such issuances may also serve to enhance existing management’s ability to maintain control of the Company because the shares may be issued to parties or entities committed to supporting existing management.

 

Certain recent initial public offerings of companies with public floats comparable to the anticipated public float of the Company have experienced extreme volatility that was seemingly unrelated to the underlying performance of the respective company. We have in the past, and may in the future experience similar volatility, which may make it difficult for prospective investors to assess the value of our common stock.(*)

 

In addition to the risks addressed below under the heading “— Our common stock prices have been, and may continue to be, volatile and could decline substantially,” our common stock may be subject to extreme volatility that is seemingly unrelated to the underlying performance of our business. For example, since our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market in connection with our IPO on March 20, 2023, the trading price of our common stock has traded as high as $4.37 and as low as $0.50 per share. The trading price of our common stock is expected to continue to be volatile, and our common stock may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility. Such volatility, including any stock-run up, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance, financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our common stock. There have been recent instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines following public offerings, particularly among companies with relatively smaller public floats, and we expect that such instances may continue and/or increase in the future. Contributing to this risk of volatility are a number of factors. First, our common stock is likely to be more sporadically and thinly traded than that of larger, more established companies. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction, which may cause our stock price to deviate, potentially significantly, from a price that better reflects the underlying performance of our business. The price of our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our shares are sold in the market without commensurate demand (including as our IPO lockups expire – 12 months after the IPO (unless earlier waived in the discretion of the underwriter of the IPO)) as compared to a seasoned issuer that could better absorb those sales without an adverse impact on its stock price. Second, we are a speculative investment due to our limited operating history, not being profitable, and not expecting to be profitable in the near term. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a larger, more established company that has a relatively large public float.

 

Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our securities. Such volatility, including any stock run-ups, may be unrelated or disproportionate to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our shares.

Table of Contents

 

Furthermore, the stock market in general, and the market for men’s wellness product companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Broad market and industry factors, as well as general economic, political and market conditions such as recessions, or changes in inflation or interest rates, may seriously affect the market price of our securities, regardless of our actual operating performance. As a result of this volatility, investors may experience losses on their investment in our common stock. A decline in the market price of our common stock also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional shares of common stock or other securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future. No assurance can be given that an active market in our common shares will develop or be sustained. If an active market does not develop, holders of our common stock may be unable to readily sell the shares they hold or may not be able to sell their shares at all, which may result in the loss of any investment in the Company or our securities.

 

Our common stock prices have been, and may continue to be, volatile and could decline substantially.(*)

 

The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. Our financial performance, government regulatory action, tax laws, interest rates, and market conditions in general could have a significant impact on the future market price of our common stock.

 

Some of the factors that could negatively affect or result in fluctuations in the market price of our common stock include:

 

  actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results;
     
  changes in market valuations of similar companies;
     
  adverse market reaction to the level of our indebtedness;
     
  additions or departures of key personnel;
     
  actions by shareholders;
     
  speculation in the press or investment community;
     
  general market, economic, and political conditions, including an economic slowdown or dislocation in the global credit markets;
     
  announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, collaborations, or capital commitments;
     
  general economic and market conditions;
     
  disputes or other developments related to our intellectual property or other proprietary rights, including litigation;
     
  our operating performance and the performance of other similar companies;
     
  changes in accounting principles; and
     
  passage of legislation or other regulatory developments that adversely affect us or our industry.

We are not currently in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards and may not be able to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.(+)

 

As a condition to consummating our IPO, we were required to list our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market and in March 2023, our common stock was approved for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MGRX”. Notwithstanding such listing, there can be no assurance any broker will be interested in trading our stock. Therefore, it may be difficult to sell your shares of common stock if you desire or need to sell them. Our underwriters are not obligated to make a market in our securities, and even if they do make a market, they can discontinue market making at any time without notice. Neither we nor the underwriters can provide any assurance that an active and liquid trading market in our securities will develop or, if developed, that such market will continue.

 

There is also no guarantee that we will be able to maintain our listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market for any period of time by perpetually satisfying Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. Our failure to continue to meet these requirements may result in our securities being delisted from Nasdaq.

 

Among the conditions required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, Nasdaq requires us to maintain at least $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity or $500,000 in net income over the prior two years or two of the prior three years. As of September 30, 2023, our stockholders’ equity was below $2.5 million and we did not otherwise meet the net income requirements described above, and as such, we are not currently in compliance with Nasdaq’s continue listing standards. If we fail to timely remedy our compliance with the applicable requirements, our stock may be delisted.

 

Additional requirements we must meet to continue our listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market include the requirement that we have a majority of independent directors, an audit committee of at least three independent directors (subject to certain limited exceptions) and maintain a stock price over $1.00 per share. Additionally, recently our common stock price has traded below $1.00 per share and we may not be able to maintain a stock price over $1.00 per share. Our failure to meet the continued listing standards of Nasdaq may result in our securities being delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

Even if we demonstrate compliance with the requirements of Nasdaq, we will have to continue to meet other objective and subjective listing requirements to continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market could make trading our common stock more difficult for investors, potentially leading to declines in our share price and liquidity. Without a Nasdaq Capital Market listing, stockholders may have a difficult time getting a quote for the sale or purchase of our stock, the sale or purchase of our stock would likely be made more difficult, and the trading volume and liquidity of our stock could decline. Delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market could also result in negative publicity and could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital. The absence of such a listing may adversely affect the acceptance of our common stock as currency or the value accorded by other parties. Further, if we are delisted, we would also incur additional costs under state blue sky laws in connection with any sales of our securities. These requirements could severely limit the market liquidity of our common stock and the ability of our stockholders to sell our common stock in the secondary market. If our common stock is delisted by Nasdaq, our common stock may be eligible to trade on an over-the-counter quotation system, such as the OTCQB Market or the OTC Pink market, where an investor may find it more difficult to sell our stock or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock. In the event our common stock is delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market, we may not be able to list our common stock on another national securities exchange or obtain quotation on an over-the counter quotation system.

We have broad discretion in how we use the proceeds of our IPO and may not use such proceeds effectively, which could affect our results of operations and cause our common stock to decline.(*)

 

We have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds of our IPO. We have used, and plan to continue to use, the net proceeds from the IPO for product development, marketing and advertising, and for working capital, and potentially for future acquisitions, although none are currently planned. We may use the net proceeds for purposes that do not yield a significant return or any return at all for our shareholders. In addition, pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from the IPO in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.

 

If our stock price fluctuates, you could lose a significant part of your investment.(*)

 

The market price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to, among other things, the risk factors described in this Report, and other factors beyond our control, such as fluctuations in the valuation of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us For example, since our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market in connection with our IPO on March 20, 2023, the trading price of our common stock has traded as high as $4.37 and as low as $0.50 per share. Furthermore, the stock markets have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political, and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rate changes or international currency fluctuations, may negatively affect the market price of our common stock. In the past, many companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business.

 

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about us, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our common stock, then our stock price and trading volume could decline.

 

The trading market for our common stock is influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us, our industry and our market. If no analyst elects to cover us and publish research or reports about us, the market for our common stock could be severely limited and our stock price could be adversely affected. As a small-cap company, we are more likely than our larger competitors to lack coverage from securities analysts. In addition, even if we receive analyst coverage, if one or more analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline. If one or more analysts who elect to cover us issue negative reports or adversely change their recommendations regarding our common stock, our stock price could decline.

 

Future sales of our common stock, other securities convertible into our common stock, or preferred stock could cause the market value of our common stock to decline and could result in dilution of your shares.(*)

 

Our Board of Directors is authorized, without your approval, to cause us to issue additional shares of our common stock or to raise capital through the creation and issuance of preferred stock, other debt securities convertible into common stock, options, warrants and other rights, on terms and for consideration as our Board of Directors in its sole discretion may determine. Additionally, pursuant to the Resale Prospectus, registered the resale of an aggregate of 4,765,000 shares of common stock, which shares of common stock are available for immediate resale in the public market (which number includes 2,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants, of which 975,500 shares of common stock remain issuable thereunder as of the date of this Report). An additional 87,500 shares of common stock are issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase shares at $5.00 per share, which were issued in connection with the IPO, which were first exercisable on September 20, 2023. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock or of preferred stock could cause the market price of our common stock to decrease significantly. We cannot predict the effect, if any, of future sales of our common stock, or the availability of our common stock for future sales, on the value of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock by large shareholders, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

In addition, in connection with our IPO, we, our directors, executive officers, and shareholders holding 5% or more of our outstanding common stock have agreed not to offer, issue, sell, contract to sell, encumber, grant any option for the sale of or otherwise dispose of any of our securities for a period of 12 months following the closing of the IPO (until March 20, 2024), subject to certain exceptions and shareholders holding between 1% and 4.99% of our outstanding common stock have agreed not to offer, issue, sell, contract to sell, encumber, grant any option for the sale of or otherwise dispose of any of our securities for a period of six months following the closing of the IPO (until September 20, 2023), subject to certain exceptions. Notwithstanding the above, no shares of common stock that are included in the Resale Prospectus are subject to such lock-up agreements. The representative of the IPO underwriters may, at any time, release, or authorize us to release, as the case may be, all or a portion of our common stock subject to the foregoing lock-up provisions without required notice. If the restrictions under the lock-up provisions of the lock-up agreements entered into in connection with the IPO are waived, shares of our common stock may become available for sale into the market, subject to applicable law, which could reduce the market price for our common stock.

 

We have no intention of declaring dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

The decision to pay cash dividends on our common stock rests with our Board of Directors and will depend on our earnings, unencumbered cash, capital requirements and financial condition. We do not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future, as we intend to use any excess cash to fund our operations. Investors in our common stock should not expect to receive dividend income on their investment, and investors will be dependent on the appreciation of our common stock to earn a return on their investment.

 

The issuance and sale of common stock upon exercise of outstanding warrants may cause substantial dilution to existing shareholders and may also depress the market price of our common stock. Outstanding warrants to purchase shares of our common stock have cashless exercise rights(*).

 

As of the date of this Report, we had a total of 1,063,000 warrants outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $1.00 per share and term ranging from August 16, 2027 through March 20, 2028. If the holders of the warrants choose to exercise the warrants, it may cause significant dilution to the then holders of our common stock. If exercises of the warrants and sales of such shares issuable upon exercise thereof take place, the price of our common stock may decline. In addition, the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may represent overhang that may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Overhang occurs when there is a greater supply of a company’s stock in the market than there is demand for that stock. When this happens the price of our stock will decrease, and any additional shares which shareholders attempt to sell in the market will only further decrease the share price. If the share volume of our common stock cannot absorb shares sold by the warrant holders, then the value of our common stock will likely decrease.

 

A total of 87,500 of the warrants discussed above (which have an exercise price of $5.00 per share) currently allow for cashless exercise rights. In a ‘cashless exercise’, the holder reduces the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants in amount equal to the aggregate value of the exercise price of the exercised warrants. For example, if our common stock was trading at $2.00 per share and a holder desires to exercise warrants to purchase 100 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share on a cashless basis, the number of shares of common stock issuable to the holder upon such exercise would be reduced by 50 shares, equal in value to $100 ($2.00 per share x 50 shares), and the holder would receive 50 shares of common stock upon such exercise. We do not receive any cash upon a cashless exercise and as such, while a cashless exercise reduces the dilution which would otherwise exist upon a warrant exercise, it is also not as beneficial to us, as it does not bring in any new investment proceeds. Additionally, holders of warrants with cashless exercise provisions may be more likely to exercise their warrants as they do not have to come out of pocket with any cash exercise payments.

General Risk Factors

 

Our industry and the broader U.S. economy experienced higher than expected inflationary pressures during 2022 related to continued supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and geopolitical instability, and if these conditions persist, our business, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

 

2022 saw significant increases in the costs of labor and certain materials and equipment, and longer lead times for such materials and equipment, as a result of availability constraints, supply chain disruption, increased demand, labor shortages associated with a fully employed U.S. labor force, high inflation and other factors. Supply and demand fundamentals have been further aggravated by disruptions in global energy supply caused by multiple geopolitical events, including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Recent supply chain constraints and inflationary pressures may in the future adversely impact our operating costs, and as a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

 

We and the health and wellness industry in general may be adversely affected during periods of high inflation, primarily because of higher shipping and product manufacturing costs. While we plan to attempt to pass on increases in our costs through increased sales prices, market forces may limit our ability to do so. If we are unable to raise sales prices enough to compensate for higher costs, our future revenues, gross profit margin and revenues could be adversely affected.

 

Economic uncertainty may affect our access to capital and/or increase the costs of such capital.(*)

 

Global economic conditions continue to be volatile and uncertain due to, among other things, consumer confidence in future economic conditions, fears of recession and trade wars, the price of energy, fluctuating interest rates, the availability and cost of consumer credit, the availability and timing of government stimulus programs, levels of unemployment, increased inflation, tax rates, and the war between Ukraine and Russia which began in February 2022, and has continued through the date of this Report, as well as the current ongoing war between Hamas and Israel, which began in October 2023. These conditions remain unpredictable and create uncertainties about our ability to raise capital in the future. In the event required capital becomes unavailable in the future, or more costly, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, future results of operations, and financial condition.

 

Our business may be materially and adversely disrupted by epidemics or pandemics in the future, including COVID-19(*).

 

An epidemic, pandemic or similar serious public health issue, and the measures undertaken by governmental authorities to address it, could significantly disrupt or prevent us from operating our business in the ordinary course for an extended period, and thereby, and/or along with any associated economic and/or social instability or distress, have a material adverse impact on our financial statements.

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures. On March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency concerning the outbreak, and several states and municipalities have declared public health emergencies. The U.S. Congress formally ended the COVID-19 national emergency on April 10, 2023. Although COVID-19 has to date not had a material impact on our operations, should the COVID-19 public health effort re-intensify to such an extent that we cannot operate, if there are new government restrictions on our business and our customers, and/or an extended economic recession or significant inflation, we could be unable to produce significant revenues and cash flows sufficient to conduct our business. Such a circumstance could, among other things, exhaust our available liquidity (and ability to access liquidity sources) and/or trigger an acceleration to pay a significant portion or all of our then-outstanding debt obligations, which we may be unable to do.

Our business could be disrupted by catastrophic events and man-made problems, such as power disruptions, data security breaches, and terrorism.

 

Our systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from the occurrence of any catastrophic event, including earthquake, fire, flood, or other weather event, power loss, telecommunications failure, software or hardware malfunction, cyber-attack, war, terrorist attack, or incident of mass violence, which could result in lengthy interruptions in access to our systems. In addition, acts of terrorism, including malicious internet-based activity, could cause disruptions to the internet or the economy as a whole. If our systems were to fail or be negatively impacted as a result of a natural disaster or other event, our ability to provide products to customers would be impaired or we could lose critical data. We do not carry business interruption insurance sufficient to compensate us for the potentially significant losses, including the potential harm to our business, financial condition and results of operations that may result from interruptions in access to our platform as a result of system failures.

 

Economic uncertainty may affect consumer purchases of discretionary items, which may affect demand for our products.(*)

 

Our products may be considered discretionary items for consumers. Factors affecting the level of consumer spending for such discretionary items include general economic conditions and other factors such as consumer confidence in future economic conditions, fears of recession and trade wars, the price of energy, fluctuating interest rates, the availability and cost of consumer credit, the availability and timing of government stimulus programs, levels of unemployment, inflation, and tax rates. As U.S. economic conditions continue to be volatile or economic uncertainty remains, and with increasing inflation and interest rates, trends in consumer discretionary spending also remain unpredictable and subject to reductions as a result of significant increases in employment, financial market instability, and uncertainties about the future. Unfavorable economic conditions have led, and in the future may lead, consumers to reduce their spending on men’s wellness products, which in turn has in the past led to a decrease in the demand for such products. Consumer demand for the Company’s products may decline as a result of an economic downturn, or economic uncertainty. The sensitivity to economic cycles and any related fluctuation in consumer demand may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

In February 2022, an armed conflict escalated between Russia and Ukraine. The sanctions announced by the United States and other countries against Russia and Belarus following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to date include restrictions on selling or importing goods, services, or technology in or from affected regions and travel bans and asset freezes impacting connected individuals and political, military, business, and financial organizations in Russia and Belarus. The United States and other countries could impose wider sanctions and take other actions should the conflict further escalate. Separately, in October 2023, Israel and certain Iranian-backed Palestinian forces began an armed conflict in Israel, the Gaza Strip, and surrounding areas. This conflict currently threatens to spread to other Middle Eastern countries, and may ultimately result in the United States and other countries becoming involved in the conflict. Although the Company does not, and does not plan to, do business in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Israel, or the Middle East, it is not possible to predict the broader consequences of these ongoing conflicts, which could include further sanctions, embargoes, regional instability, and geopolitical shifts. It is also not possible to predict with certainty these ongoing conflicts and additional adverse effects on existing U.S. macroeconomic conditions, consumer spending habits, currency exchange rates, and financial markets, all of which could impact the business, financial condition, and results of operations of the Company.

 

Global economic conditions could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and growth.

 

Adverse macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, slower growth or recession, new or increased tariffs, changes to fiscal and monetary policy, tighter credit, higher interest rates, high unemployment and currency fluctuations could materially adversely affect our operations, expenses, access to capital and the market for our products. In addition, consumer confidence and spending could be adversely affected in response to financial market volatility, negative financial news, conditions in the real estate and mortgage markets, declines in income or asset values, changes to fuel and other energy costs, labor and healthcare costs and other economic factors.

Table of Contents

 

In addition, uncertainty about, or a decline in, global or regional economic conditions could have a significant impact on our expected funding sources, suppliers and partners. Potential effects include financial instability; inability to obtain credit to finance operations and purchases of our products; and insolvency.

 

A downturn in the economic environment could also lead to limitations on our ability to issue new debt; reduced liquidity; and declines in the fair value of our financial instruments. These and other economic factors could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and growth.

 

We may become party to litigation, mediation and/or arbitration from time to time given our product focus.

 

We may become party to regulatory proceedings, litigation, mediation and/or arbitration from time to time in the ordinary course of business which could adversely affect our business. Monitoring and defending against legal actions, whether or not meritorious, can be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources and cause us to incur significant expenses. In addition, legal fees and costs incurred in connection with such activities may be significant and we could, in the future, be subject to judgments or enter into settlements of claims for significant monetary damages. While we expect to have insurance in the future that may cover the costs and awards of certain types of litigation, the amount of our future insurance may not be sufficient to cover any costs or awards. Substantial litigation costs or an adverse result in any litigation may adversely impact our business, operating results or financial condition.

 

Higher labor costs due to statutory and regulatory changes could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

 

Various federal and state labor laws, including new laws and regulations enacted in response to COVID-19, govern our relationships with our employees and affect operating costs. These laws include employee classifications as exempt or non-exempt, minimum wage requirements, unemployment tax rates, workers’ compensation rates, overtime, family leave, workplace health and safety standards, payroll taxes, citizenship requirements and other wage and benefit requirements for employees classified as non-exempt. As certain of our employees are paid at rates set at, or above but related to, the applicable minimum wage, further increases in the minimum wage could increase our labor costs. Significant additional government regulations could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

 

Failure to adequately manage our planned aggressive growth strategy may harm our business or increase our risk of failure.

 

For the foreseeable future, we intend to pursue an aggressive growth strategy for the expansion of our operations through increased marketing. Our ability to rapidly expand our operations will depend upon many factors, including our ability to work in a regulated environment, establish and maintain strategic relationships with suppliers, and obtain adequate capital resources on acceptable terms. Any restrictions on our ability to expand may have a materially adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Accordingly, we may be unable to achieve our targets for sales growth, and our operations may not be successful or achieve anticipated operating results.

 

Additionally, our growth may place a significant strain on our managerial, administrative, operational, and financial resources and our infrastructure. Our future success will depend, in part, upon the ability of our senior management to manage growth effectively. This will require us to, among other things:

 

  implement additional management information systems;
     
  further develop our operating, administrative, legal, financial, and accounting systems and controls;
     
  hire additional personnel;
     
  develop additional levels of management within our company;

 

61
Table of Contents

 

  locate additional office space; and
     
  maintain close coordination among our operations, legal, finance, sales and marketing, and client service and support personnel.

 

As a result, we may lack the resources to deploy our services on a timely and cost-effective basis. Failure to accomplish any of these requirements could impair our ability to deliver services in a timely fashion or attract and retain new customers.

 

If we make any acquisitions, they may disrupt or have a negative impact on our business.

 

If we make acquisitions in the future, we could have difficulty integrating the acquired company’s assets, personnel and operations with our own. We do not anticipate that any acquisitions or mergers we may enter into in the future would result in a change of control of the Company. In addition, the key personnel of the acquired business may not be willing to work for us. We cannot predict the effect expansion may have on our core business. Regardless of whether we are successful in making an acquisition, the negotiations could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses. In addition to the risks described above, acquisitions are accompanied by a number of inherent risks, including, without limitation, the following:

 

the difficulty of integrating acquired products, services or operations;
   
the potential disruption of the ongoing businesses and distraction of our management and the management of acquired companies;
   
difficulties in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;

 

the potential impairment of relationships with employees and customers as a result of any integration of new management personnel;
   
the potential inability or failure to achieve additional sales and enhance our customer base through cross-marketing of the products to new and existing customers;

 

the effect of any government regulations which relate to the business acquired;
   
potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired businesses or product lines, or the need to spend significant amounts to retool, reposition or modify the marketing and sales of acquired products or operations, or the defense of any litigation, whether or not successful, resulting from actions of the acquired company prior to our acquisition; and
   
potential expenses under the labor, environmental and other laws of various jurisdictions.

 

Our business could be severely impaired if and to the extent that we are unable to succeed in addressing any of these risks or other problems encountered in connection with an acquisition, many of which cannot be presently identified. These risks and problems could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase our expenses and adversely affect our results of operations.

 

62
Table of Contents

 

Claims, litigation, government investigations, and other proceedings may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

We may be subject to actual and threatened claims, litigation, reviews, investigations, and other proceedings, including proceedings relating to products offered by us and by third parties, and other matters. Any of these types of proceedings, may have an adverse effect on us because of legal costs, disruption of our operations, diversion of management resources, negative publicity, and other factors. The outcomes of these matters are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties. Determining legal reserves and possible losses from such matters involves judgment and may not reflect the full range of uncertainties and unpredictable outcomes. Until the final resolution of such matters, we may be exposed to losses in excess of the amount recorded, and such amounts could be material. Should any of our estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, it could have a material effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In addition, it is possible that a resolution of one or more such proceedings, including as a result of a settlement, could require us to make substantial future payments, prevent us from offering certain products or services, require us to change our business practices in a manner materially adverse to our business, requiring development of non-infringing or otherwise altered products or technologies, damaging our reputation, or otherwise having a material effect on our operations.

 

We may incur indebtedness in the future which could reduce our financial flexibility, increase interest expense and adversely impact our operations and our costs.

 

We may incur significant amounts of indebtedness in the future. Our level of indebtedness could affect our operations in several ways, including the following:

 

  a significant portion of our cash flows is required to be used to service our indebtedness;
     
  a high level of debt increases our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
     
  covenants contained in the agreements governing our outstanding indebtedness limit our ability to borrow additional funds and provide additional security interests, dispose of assets, pay dividends and make certain investments;
     
  a high level of debt may place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that are less leveraged and, therefore, may be able to take advantage of opportunities that our indebtedness may prevent us from pursuing; and
     
  debt covenants may affect our flexibility in planning for, and reacting to, changes in the economy and in our industry.

 

A high level of indebtedness increases the risk that we may default on our debt obligations. We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flows to pay the principal or interest on our debt, and future working capital, borrowings or equity financing may not be available to pay or refinance such debt. If we do not have sufficient funds and are otherwise unable to arrange financing, we may have to sell significant assets or have a portion of our assets foreclosed upon which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

There have been no sales of unregistered securities during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and from the period from October 1, 2023 to the filing date of this Report, which have not previously been reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K, except as described below:

 

On October 10, 2023, we entered into a Consulting Agreement with Luca Consulting to provide management consulting and business advisory services to the Company during the term of the agreement, which is for three months. In consideration for agreeing to provide the services under the agreement, the Company agreed to pay Luca Consulting $15,000 in cash and issued Luca Consulting 200,000 shares of restricted common stock. The agreement contains customary confidentiality and non-circumvention provisions. The shares were valued at $0.60 per share for a total of $120,000.

The issuance described above was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2), and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act, since the foregoing issuance did not involve a public offering, the recipient took the securities for investment and not resale, we took take appropriate measures to restrict transfer, and the recipient was (a) an “accredited investor”; and/or (b) had access to similar documentation and information as would be required in a Registration Statement under the Securities Act. The securities are subject to transfer restrictions, and the certificates/book-entry notations evidencing the securities contain an appropriate legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom (except for those shares issuable upon exercise of warrants, which as discussed above, have been registered under the Securities Act).

 

As of the date of this Report, the Company has outstanding common stock purchase warrants to purchase 1,063,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share, and expiration dates ranging from August 16, 2027 through December 22, 2027. The maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is 1,063,000 shares.

 

Use of Proceeds From Sale of Registered Securities

 

On March 23, 2023, we completed our IPO, in which we sold 1,250,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $4.00 per share. In connection with the IPO, the Company also granted the representative of the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 187,500 shares of its common stock. We received aggregate net proceeds of approximately $4.35 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, and offering costs.

 

All the shares issued and sold in our IPO were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-269240) originally filed by the Company with the SEC under the Securities Act on January 13, 2023, which was declared effective on March 20, 2023. The representative of the underwriters of our IPO was Boustead Securities, LLC. Following the sale of all the shares upon the closing of the IPO and the expiration of the over-allotment option, the offer terminated. No payments were made by us to directors, officers or persons owning ten percent or more of our common stock or to their associates, or to our affiliates, other than payments in the ordinary course of business, and payments for the repayment of debt.

 

There has been no material change in the expected use of the net proceeds from our initial public offering as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC relating to the IPO on March 22, 2023, pursuant to Rule 424(b).

 

The expected use of net proceeds from the IPO represents our intentions based upon our present plans and business conditions. We cannot predict with certainty all of the particular uses for the proceeds of the IPO or the amounts that we will actually spend on the uses set forth above. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds we received from the IPO, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of our net proceeds. While we expect to use the net proceeds for the purposes described above, the timing and amount of our actual expenditures will be based on many factors, including cash flows from operations, the anticipated growth of our business, and the availability and terms of alternative financing sources to fund our growth.

Item 5. Other Information.

 

The information and disclosures which are set forth above under “Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds”, under the heading “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities”, are incorporated by reference into this “Item 5. Other Information”, in their entirety, and shall serve as disclosure of such information pursuant to Item 3.02 of Form 8-K.

 

The below event occurred within four business days of the filing date of this periodic report and as such, the Company is disclosing the occurrence of the event under this Item 5. Other Information, instead of in a stand alone Current Report on Form 8-K:

 

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

(e) Clawback Policy. On October 26, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the adoption of a Policy for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Incentive Based Compensation (the “Clawback Policy”), with an effective date of October 2, 2023, in order to comply with the final clawback rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 10D and Rule 10D-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 10D-1”), and the listing standards, as set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5608 (the “Final Clawback Rules”).

 

The Clawback Policy provides for the mandatory recovery of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation from current and former executive officers as defined in Rule 10D-1 (“Covered Officers”) of the Company in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement, in accordance with the Final Clawback Rules. The recovery of such compensation applies regardless of whether a Covered Officer engaged in misconduct or otherwise caused or contributed to the requirement of an accounting restatement. Under the Clawback Policy, the Board of Directors may recoup from the Covered Officers erroneously awarded incentive compensation received within a lookback period of the three completed fiscal years preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement.

 

The foregoing summary of the Clawback Policy does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Clawback Policy, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.42, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 10.42

 

MANGOCEUTICALS, INC.

POLICY FOR THE RECOVERY OF

ERRONEOUSLY AWARDED INCENTIVE-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Mangoceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to adopt this Policy for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation (the “Policy”), which provides for the recovery of certain incentive compensation in the event of an Accounting Restatement (as defined below).

 

This Policy is designed to comply with, and shall be interpreted to be consistent with, Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Rule 10D-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Rule 10D-1”) and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5608 (the “Listing Standards”).

 

1. Administration

 

Except as specifically set forth herein, this Policy shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board (if composed entirely of independent directors) or if so designated by the Board, a separate committee of the Board, consisting solely of independent directors, or in the absence of such a committee, a majority of the independent directors serving on the board (as applicable, the “Administrator”). The Administrator is authorized to interpret and construe this Policy and to make all determinations necessary, appropriate or advisable for the administration of this Policy. Any determinations made by the Administrator shall be final and binding on all affected individuals and need not be uniform with respect to each individual covered by the Policy. In the administration of this Policy, the Administrator is authorized and directed to consult with the full Board or such other committees of the Board, such as the Audit Committee or the Compensation Committee, as may be necessary or appropriate as to matters within the scope of such other committee’s responsibility and authority.

 

Subject to any limitation under applicable law, the Administrator may authorize and empower any officer or employee of the Company to take any and all actions necessary or appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of this Policy (other than with respect to any recovery under this Policy involving such officer or employee).

 

2. Definitions

 

As used in this Policy, the following definitions shall apply:

 

“Accounting Restatement” means an accounting restatement of the Company’s financial statements due to the Company’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements (a “Big R” restatement), or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period (a “little r” restatement).

 

“Administrator” has the meaning set forth in Section 1 hereof.

 

 

 

  “Applicable Period” means the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement, as well as any transition period (that results from a change in the Company’s fiscal year) within or immediately following those three completed fiscal years (except that a transition period that comprises a period of at least nine months shall count as a completed fiscal year). The “date on which the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement” is the earlier to occur of (a) the date the Board (or the Compensation Committee, if authorized by the Board) concludes, or reasonably should have concluded, that the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement or (b) the date a court, regulator or other legally authorized body directs the Company to prepare an Accounting Restatement, in each case regardless of if or when the restated financial statements are filed.
     
  “Covered Executives” means the Company’s current and former Executive Officers, as determined by the Administrator. For the avoidance of doubt, a Covered Executive may include a former Executive Officer that left the Company, retired, or transitioned to an employee role (including after serving as an Executive Officer in an interim capacity) during the Applicable Period.
     
  “Erroneously Awarded Compensation” has the meaning set forth in Section 5 of this Policy.
     
  “Executive Officer” means an executive officer as defined in Rule 10D-1(d) and the Listing Standards including, but not limited to, the Company’s president, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer (or if there is no such accounting officer, the controller), any vice-president of the Company in charge of a principal business unit, division, or function (such as sales, administration, or finance), any other officer who performs a policy-making function, or any other person who performs similar policymaking functions for the Company; and executive officers identified pursuant to Regulation S-K Item 401(b). For the purposes of such definition, Executive Officers of the Company’s parent(s) or subsidiaries are deemed Executive Officers of the Company if they perform such policy making functions for the Company.
     
  A “Financial Reporting Measure” is any measure that is determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing the Company’s financial statements, and any measure that is derived wholly or in part from such measure. Financial Reporting Measures include but are not limited to the following (and any measures derived from the following): Company stock price; total stockholder return (“TSR”); revenues; net income; operating income; profitability of one or more reportable segments; financial ratios (e.g., accounts receivable turnover and inventory turnover rates); earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”); funds from operations and adjusted funds from operations; liquidity measures (e.g., working capital, operating cash flow); return measures (e.g., return on invested capital, return on assets); earnings measures (e.g., earnings per share); any of such financial reporting measures relative to a peer group, where the Company’s financial reporting measure is subject to an Accounting Restatement; and tax basis income. A Financial Reporting Measure need not be presented within the Company’s financial statements or included in a filing with the Securities Exchange Commission.
     
  “Incentive-Based Compensation” means any compensation that is granted, earned or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of a Financial Reporting Measure. Incentive-Based Compensation is “received” for purposes of this Policy in the Company’s fiscal period during which the Financial Reporting Measure specified in the Incentive-Based Compensation award is attained, even if the payment or grant of such Incentive-Based Compensation occurs after the end of that period.

3. Covered Executives; Incentive-Based Compensation

 

This Policy applies to Incentive-Based Compensation received by a Covered Executive (a) after beginning services as a Covered Executive; (b) if that person served as a Covered Executive at any time during the performance period for such Incentive-Based Compensation (whether or not such Covered Executive is serving at the time the Erroneously Awarded Compensation is required to be repaid to the Company); and (c) while the Company had a listed class of securities on a national securities exchange.

 

4. Required Recoupment of Erroneously Awarded Compensation in the Event of an Accounting Restatement

 

In the event the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement, the Company shall promptly recoup the amount of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation received by any Covered Executive, as calculated pursuant to Section 5 hereof, during the Applicable Period.

 

5. Erroneously Awarded Compensation: Amount Subject to Recovery

 

The amount of “Erroneously Awarded Compensation” subject to recovery under the Policy, as determined by the Administrator, is the amount of Incentive-Based Compensation (calculated on a pre-tax basis and without regard to any taxes paid) received by the Covered Executive that exceeds the amount of Incentive-Based Compensation that would have been received by the Covered Executive had it been determined based on the restated amounts. For the avoidance of doubt Erroneously Awarded Compensation does not include any Incentive-Based Compensation received by a person (i) before such person began service in a position or capacity meeting the definition of an Executive Officer, (ii) who did not serve as an Executive Officer at any time during the performance period for that Incentive-Based Compensation, or (iii) during any period the Company did not have a class of its securities listed on a national securities exchange or a national securities association.

 

Erroneously Awarded Compensation shall be computed by the Administrator without regard to any taxes paid by the Covered Executive in respect of the Erroneously Awarded Compensation.

 

By way of example, with respect to any compensation plans or programs that take into account Incentive-Based Compensation, the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation subject to recovery hereunder includes, but is not limited to, the amount contributed to any notional account based on Erroneously Awarded Compensation and any earnings accrued to date on that notional amount.

 

For Incentive-Based Compensation based on stock price or TSR: (a) the Administrator shall determine the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Accounting Restatement on the stock price or TSR upon which the Incentive-Based Compensation was received; and (b) the Company shall maintain documentation of the determination of that reasonable estimate and provide such documentation to The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”).

6. Method of Recoupment

 

The Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion, the timing and method for promptly recouping Erroneously Awarded Compensation hereunder, which may include without limitation (a) seeking reimbursement of all or part of any cash or equity-based award, (b) cancelling prior cash or equity-based awards, whether vested or unvested or paid or unpaid, (c) cancelling or offsetting against any planned future cash or equity-based awards, (d) forfeiture of deferred compensation, subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (e) any other method authorized by applicable law or contract. Subject to compliance with any applicable law, the Administrator may affect recovery under this Policy from any amount otherwise payable to the Covered Executive, including amounts payable to such individual under any otherwise applicable Company plan or program, including base salary, bonuses or commissions and compensation previously deferred by the Covered Executive.

 

The applicable Covered Executive shall be required to reimburse the Company for any and all expenses reasonably incurred (including legal fees) by the Company in recovering such Erroneously Awarded Compensation in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph.

 

The Company is authorized and directed pursuant to this Policy to recoup Erroneously Awarded Compensation in compliance with this Policy unless the Administrator has determined that recovery would be impracticable solely for the following limited reasons, and subject to the following procedural and disclosure requirements:

 

The direct expense paid to a third party to assist in enforcing the Policy would exceed the amount to be recovered. Before concluding that it would be impracticable to recover any amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation based on expense of enforcement, the Administrator must make a reasonable attempt to recover such erroneously awarded compensation, document such reasonable attempt(s) to recover and provide that documentation to Nasdaq; or

 

Recovery would likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan, under which benefits are broadly available to employees of the Company, to fail to meet the requirements of 26 U.S.C. 401(a)(13) or 26 U.S.C. 411(a) and regulations thereunder.

 

To the extent that the Covered Executive has already reimbursed the Company for any Erroneously Awarded Compensation under any duplicative recovery obligations established by the Company or applicable law, it shall be appropriate for any such reimbursed amount to be credited to the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation that is subject to recovery under this Policy.

 

7. No Indemnification of Covered Executives; No Reimbursement; No Agreements Exempting or Waiving Recovery

 

Notwithstanding the terms of any indemnification or insurance policy or any contractual arrangement with any Covered Executive that may be interpreted to the contrary, the Company shall not indemnify any Covered Executives against the loss of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation, including any payment or reimbursement for the cost of third-party insurance purchased by any Covered Executives to fund potential clawback obligations under this Policy.

 

Further, the Company shall not enter into any agreement that exempts any Incentive-Based Compensation that is granted, paid or awarded to a Covered Executive from the application of this Policy or that waives the Company’s right to recovery of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation, and this Policy shall supersede any such agreement (whether entered into before, on or after the Effective Date of this Policy).

Incentive-Based Compensation Page 4 of 7

 

8. Administrator Indemnification

 

Any members of the Administrator, and any other members of the Board who assist in the administration of this Policy, shall not be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made with respect to this Policy and shall be fully indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent under applicable law and Company policy with respect to any such action, determination or interpretation. The foregoing sentence shall not limit any other rights to indemnification of the members of the Board under applicable law or Company policy.

 

9. Effective Date; Retroactive Application

 

This Policy shall be effective as of October 2, 2023  (the “Effective Date”). The terms of this Policy shall apply to any Incentive-Based Compensation that is received by Covered Executives on or after the Effective Date, even if such Incentive-Based Compensation was approved, awarded, granted or paid to Covered Executives prior to the Effective Date. Without limiting the generality of Section 6 hereof, and subject to applicable law, the Administrator may affect recovery under this Policy from any amount of compensation approved, awarded, granted, payable or paid to the Covered Executive prior to, on or after the Effective Date.

 

This Policy will survive and continue notwithstanding any termination of a Covered Executive’s employment with the Company and its affiliates.

 

10. Amendment; Termination

 

The Board may amend, modify, supplement, rescind or replace all or any portion of this Policy at any time and from time to time in its discretion, and shall amend this Policy as it deems necessary to comply with applicable law or any rules or standards adopted by a national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10 to the contrary, no amendment or termination of this Policy shall be effective if such amendment or termination would (after taking into account any actions taken by the Company contemporaneously with such amendment or termination) cause the Company to violate any federal securities laws, SEC rule or Nasdaq rule.

 

11. Severability

 

If any provision of this Policy is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Covered Executive, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the conform with applicable law.

 

This Policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without reference to any conflicts of law principles thereof that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

12. Other Recoupment Rights; Company Claims

 

The Board intends that this Policy shall be applied to the fullest extent of the law. Any right of recoupment under this Policy is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies or rights of recoupment that may be available to the Company under applicable law or pursuant to the terms of any similar policy in any employment agreement, equity award agreement, or similar agreement and any other legal remedies available to the Company.

 

Nothing contained in this Policy, and no recoupment or recovery as contemplated by this Policy, shall limit any claims, damages or other legal remedies the Company or any of its affiliates may have against a Covered Executive arising out of or resulting from any actions or omissions by the Covered Executive.

 

Any employment agreement, equity award agreement, compensatory plan or any other agreement or arrangement with a Covered Executive shall be deemed to include, as a condition to the grant of any benefit thereunder, an agreement by the Covered Executive to abide by the terms of this Policy. Any right of recovery under this Policy is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies or rights of recovery that may be available to the Company under applicable law, regulation or rule or pursuant to the terms of any policy of the Company or any provision in any employment agreement, equity award agreement, compensatory plan, agreement or other arrangement.

 

13. Successors

 

This Policy shall be binding and enforceable against all Covered Executives and their beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives.

 

14. Acknowledgement by Covered Executives; Condition to Eligibility for Incentive-Based Compensation

 

The Company will provide notice and seek acknowledgement of this Policy from each Covered Executive (in the form attached hereto), provided that the failure to provide such notice or obtain such acknowledgement will have no impact on the applicability or enforceability of this Policy.

 

After the Effective Date, the Company must be in receipt of a Covered Executive’s acknowledgement as a condition to such Covered Executive’s eligibility to receive Incentive-Based Compensation.

 

All Incentive-Based Compensation subject to this Policy will not be earned, even if already paid, until the Policy ceases to apply to such Incentive-Based Compensation and any other vesting conditions applicable to such Incentive-Based Compensation are satisfied.

 

15. Exhibit Filing Requirement

 

A copy of this Policy and any amendments thereto shall be posted on the Company’s website and filed as an exhibit to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K.

  

16. Required Public Disclosures

 

The Company shall disclose the adoption and terms of this Policy in accordance with Item 402(w) of Regulation S-K in its Annual Report on Form 10-K and/or proxy statements.

 

Additionally, when an Accounting Restatement occurs, which resulted in Erroneously Awarded Compensation being awarded to Covered Executives, the Company shall, consistent with, and to the extent required by, Item 402(w) to Regulation S-K disclose in its next Annual Report on Form 10-K and/or proxy statement, actions taken to recover such Erroneously Awarded Compensation.

 

Similarly, if an Accounting Restatement occurs, and the Company concludes that recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation is not required pursuant to the terms of this Policy, the Company shall briefly explain why application of the Policy resulted in this conclusion in accordance with, and to the extent required by, Item 402(w) of Regulation S-K.

 

17. Prompt Notice

 

The Company’s Chief Financial Officer (or the person performing a similar role if the Company does not then have a Chief Financial Officer), shall promptly notify the Administrator in writing upon becoming aware of any required Accounting Restatement.
