Corporate Information

Mitesco, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), previously known as True Nature Holding, Inc., which was previously known as Trunity Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, incorporated on January 18, 2012. Effective April 22, 2020, we changed our name to Mitesco, Inc.

Since 2020, our operations have focused on establishing medical clinics utilizing Nurse Practitioners under The Good Clinic name and development and acquisition of telemedicine technology. In March of 2020, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Mitesco NA LLC, which holds The Good Clinic LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company for our clinic business. The Company had previously established a strategy to address opportunities in Europe generally seeking technology solutions, or financing situations, through a Dublin based subsidiary, Acelerar Healthcare Holdings Ltd. After a review of its near-term opportunities in North America, the Board of Directors has determined that any efforts in the European community should be discontinued so that it can best focus on its North American operations. In conjunction with this decision the Company for the period ending December 31, 2021it will take a one-time charge of $12,500 related to the discontinuation and wind down of its European efforts.

We opened our first primary care clinic “The Good Clinic” in Northeast Minneapolis, Minnesota in February 2021, and have added five (5) additional operating clinics as of the date of this filing for a total of six (6) clinics open and operating at December 31, 2021. We announced leases for two (2) new clinics in the greater Denver, Colorado area. We are targeting to open fifty (50) new clinics in the next three years, in addition to any existing clinics we may acquire.

Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Exchange Act. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies so long as the market value of our voting and non-voting Common Stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.

Except for historical financial information or as otherwise indicated herein, all information in this prospectus, including the number of shares to be outstanding after the offering assumes of gives effect to:

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information in this prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes and the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this prospectus, before deciding whether to invest in our Common Stock. The occurrence of any of the events or developments described below could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. In such an event, the market price of our Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. . Some statements in this prospectus, including such statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. See the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Special Notice Regarding the Worldwide Covid-19 Crisis

The world economy is facing significant uncertainties as a result of the worldwide COVID-19 crisis. While we are a small company and have a limited workforce, it is likely we will face increased risk in the case that our financing needs are delayed; our acquisition targets face liquidity issues; or if our professional relationships are challenged from limited staff availability or access. We cannot predict with any certainty whether and to what degree the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and reactions thereto will continue and expect to face difficulty in developing our business and building our planned clinics. It is not possible for us to accurately predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on our business, results of operations or financial condition at this time, but such effects may be material. The COVID-19 pandemic may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks identified elsewhere in this section.

Risks Related to our Financial Condition

We are in the initial stages of our present business plan and have a limited historical performance for you to base an investment decision upon, and we may never become profitable.

We have only a limited history and a new business plan upon which an evaluation of our prospects and future performance can be made. Our planned operations are subject to all business risks associated with new companies. The likelihood of our success must be considered considering the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the establishment of a new business, operation in a competitive industry. There is a possibility that we could sustain losses in the future. There can be no assurances that we will ever operate profitably.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern because of our limited operating history, history of losses and financial resources, and if we are unable to generate significant revenue or secure financing, we may be required to cease or curtail our operations.

We have a history of losses. We have nominal revenues from our operations. The Report of our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm issued in connection with our audited financial statements for the calendar year ended December 31, 2021, expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, since we have had recurring operating losses and our lack of liquidity and working capital. The Company’s continuance is dependent on raising capital and generating revenues sufficient to sustain operations. We have generated only minimal revenues from our present business plan. If we generate revenue more slowly than we anticipate, or if our operating expenses are higher than we expect, we may not be able to pay our operating expenses or achieve profitability and our financial condition could suffer. Whether we can achieve cash flow levels sufficient to support our operations cannot be accurately predicted. Unless such cash flow levels are achieved, we will need to borrow additional funds or sell debt or equity securities, or some combination thereof, to obtain funding for our operations. Such additional funding may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. 

We need additional capital to fund our operations and cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain sufficient capital on reasonable terms or at all, and we may be forced to limit the scope of our operations.

We need additional capital to implement and fund our operations. We estimate we will require approximate net proceeds of $1,000,000 to open each clinic and up to an additional $250,000 to operate the clinic for a period of one year. If we are not able to obtain adequate financing on reasonable terms or if it is not available at all, we will be unable to open and acquire medical clinics and we would have to modify our business plans accordingly. The extent of our capital needs will depend on numerous factors, including (i) the availability and terms of any financing available to us; (ii) the opening of medical clinics by our competitors in the geographic areas where we plan to operate; (iii) the level of our investment in research and development; (iv) the amount of our capital expenditures, including acquisitions; and (v) regulations applicable to our operations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain capital in the future to meet our needs. Even if we do find a source of additional capital, we may not be able to negotiate terms and conditions for receiving the additional capital that are acceptable to us. Any future capital investments could dilute or otherwise materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing stockholders. In addition, new equity or convertible debt securities issued by us to obtain financing could have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to our Common Stock. We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us.

We may incur additional debt in the future which may contain restrictive covenants and impair our operating flexibility.

Because we currently have no significant revenue and limited cash on hand, we must seek funds for our operational plans. If we incur additional indebtedness in the future, a portion of the cash flow we generate, if any, will be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on outstanding indebtedness. Typical loan agreements also might contain restrictive covenants, which may impair our operating flexibility. Such loan agreements would also provide for default under certain circumstances, such as failure to meet certain financial covenants. A default under a loan agreement could result in the loan becoming immediately due and payable and, if unpaid, a judgment in favor of such lender which would be senior to the rights of our stockholders. A judgment creditor would have the right to foreclose on our limited assets resulting in a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

We have identified weaknesses in our internal controls, and we cannot provide assurances that these weaknesses will be effectively remediated, or that additional material weaknesses will not occur in the future.

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting, and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time consuming and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems, and resources.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting.

We do not yet have effective disclosure controls and procedures, or internal controls over all aspects of our financial reporting. We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we will file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses identified to date include (i) lack of segregation of duties and (ii) lack of sufficient resources to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (iii) lack of formal control procedures related to the approval of related party transactions. As such, our internal controls over financial reporting was not designed or operating effectively.

We will be required to expend time and resources to further improve our internal controls over financial reporting, including by expanding our staff. However, we cannot assure you that our internal control over financial reporting, as modified, will enable us to identify or avoid material weaknesses in the future.

We have not yet retained sufficient staff or engaged sufficient outside consultants with appropriate experience in GAAP presentation, especially of complex instruments, to devise and implement effective disclosure controls and procedures, or internal controls. We will be required to expend time and resources hiring and engaging additional staff and outside consultants with the appropriate experience to remedy these weaknesses. We cannot assure you that management will be successful in locating and retaining appropriate candidates; that newly engaged staff or outside consultants will be successful in remedying material weaknesses thus far identified or identifying material weaknesses in the future; or that appropriate candidates will be located and retained prior to these deficiencies resulting in material and adverse effects on our business. Our ability to retain staff with appropriate experience in GAAP presentation will also be dependent upon the revenue we generate from operations and our ability to raise sufficient funding.

Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business. Further, weaknesses in our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting may be discovered in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls, or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement, could harm our operating results, or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and may result in a restatement of our financial statements for prior periods. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could also adversely affect the results of management reports and independent registered public accounting firm audits of our internal control over financial reporting that we will eventually be required to include in our periodic reports that will be filed with the SEC. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information, which would likely have a negative effect on the market price of our Common Stock.

Our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to audit the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until after we are no longer a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act of 2012. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our internal control over financial reporting is documented, designed, or operating. Any failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting could have a material and adverse effect on our business and operating results and cause a decline in the market price of our Common Stock.

The issuance of additional shares of our Common Stock, convertible Preferred Stock and other convertible securities may dilute the percentage ownership of the then-existing stockholders and may make it more difficult to raise additional equity capital.

As of December 31, 2021, there are outstanding options and warrants to purchase 18,746,211 and 29,820,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively. In addition, we have dividends on the Preferred X stock convertible into an additional 275,570 shares of Common Stock and our Series C and D Preferred Stock which is convertible into 21,420,000 shares of Common Stock. The exercise of such options and warrants and conversion of convertible securities would dilute the then-existing stockholders’ percentage ownership of our stock, and any sales in the public market of Common Stock underlying such securities could adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Common Stock. Moreover, the terms upon which we would be able to obtain additional equity capital could be adversely affected because the holders of our options and warrants can be expected to exercise them at a time when we would likely be able to obtain any needed capital on terms more favorable to us than those provided by such securities.

Our operating results and liquidity needs could be negatively affected by market fluctuations and economic downturn.

Our operating results and liquidity could be negatively affected by economic conditions generally, both in the United States and elsewhere around the world. The market for clinics and services we provide may be particularly vulnerable to unfavorable economic conditions. Some customers may consider certain of our services to be discretionary, and if full reimbursement for such services is not available, demand for these services may be tied to the discretionary spending levels of our targeted patient populations. Domestic and international equity and debt markets have experienced and may continue to experience heightened volatility and turmoil based on domestic and international economic conditions and concerns. In the event these economic conditions and concerns continue or worsen, and the markets continue to remain volatile, our operating results and liquidity could be adversely affected by those factors in many ways, including weakening demand for certain of our services and making it more difficult for us to raise funds if necessary, and our stock price may decline. Additionally, although we plan to market our services primarily in the United States, our endeavors involve opening clinic in the European, exposing us to risk.

Risks Related to our Business

Our business is difficult to evaluate because we are currently focused on a new business model and have extremely limited operating history and limited information.

We recently engaged in a new business model for our clinics in the United States. We opened our first primary care clinic “The Good Clinic” in Northeast Minneapolis, Minnesota in February 2021, and have added five additional operating clinics as of the date of this filing for a total of six clinics open and operating at December 31, 2021. We announced leases for two new clinics in the greater Denver, Colorado area. We are targeting to open 50 new clinics in the next three years, in addition to any existing clinics we may acquire.

There is a risk that we will be unable to successfully generate significant revenue from this new business model and that we will be unable to enter into additional clinics or that any additional clinics that we enter will be on favorable terms. We are subject to many risks associated with this new business model. There is no assurance that our activities will be successful or will result in any revenues or profit. Even if we generate revenue, there can be no assurance that we will be profitable. We are subject to the risks inherent to the operation of a new business enterprise and cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully address these risks.

Our business expansion is dependent upon us finding suitable locations for additional clinics.

We plan to establish five to seven clinics in the Minneapolis /St. Paul Metropolitan area of Minnesota and then continue expansion in the Denver, Colorado area, subject to receipt of adequate funding. We target to open clinics in residential concentrations of population to enhance the convenience. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in finding suitable locations at affordable prices.

Our estimate of our required funding is based upon certain estimates for our lease payments which if incorrect will require us to raise more funding than anticipated to fulfill our goals and objectives.

Failure to attract and retain sufficient numbers of qualified personnel could also impede our future plans.

We must attract and retain sufficient medical professional employees to operate and execute our service model and growth plan even though there is a limited number of qualified medical professionals We plan to establish 5 to 7 clinics in the Minneapolis /St. Paul Metropolitan area of Minnesota and then continue expansion in the Denver, Colorado area, subject to receipt of adequate funding. Each clinic that we open will need to be staffed with enough Nurse Practitioners. We will face competition for Nurse Practitioners from a range of companies and providers, including traditional healthcare providers and medical practices that offer similar services.

Our business is also dependent upon the various insurance companies agreeing to reimburse patients for our services.

Currently, we only have insurance companies that have approved us as a service provider and have agreed to reimburse patients for use of our services. For us to attract patients, we will need to be approved as a service provider by multiple service providers as patients typically do not want to pay out of pocket for the services we provide. Our failure to be approved by additional insurance companies as a service provider will result in a material adverse impact on our business. The evolving nature of our business and rapid changes in the healthcare industry make it difficult to anticipate the nature and amount of medical reimbursements, third-party private payments, and participation in certain government programs and thus to reliably predict our operating results. Our strategy may incur significant costs, which could adversely affect our financial condition. Our plan to enter strategic transactions involves significant costs, including financial advisory, legal, and accounting fees, and may include additional costs for items such as fairness opinions and severance payments. We currently do not have significant revenue to pay these costs which could adversely affect our overall financial condition. If we fail to do so, performance of the business will be adversely impacted. If we are unable to implement our plan of operations effectively, it will have a material adverse effect on our ability to generate revenue.

We may become involved in legal proceedings that could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

By operating in the health care industry, we will face an inherent business risk of exposure to personal injury claims. Effective on April 19, 2021, we obtained malpractice insurance however, there can be no assurance that such insurance will adequately protect us from such claims. A successful personally liability claim, or series of claims brought against us, more than our insurance coverage, would negatively impact our financial condition.

From time to time and in the ordinary course of our business, we and certain of our subsidiaries may become involved in various legal proceedings and claims, including for example, employment disputes and litigation; client disputes and litigation alleging solution and implementation defects, personal injury, intellectual property infringement, violations of law and breaches of contract and warranties; and other third party disputes and litigation alleging personal injury, intellectual property infringement, violations of law, and breaches of contracts and warranties.

During March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 crisis, the federal government announced plans to offer loans to small businesses in various forms, including the Payroll Protection Program, or “PPP”, established as part of the Corona Virus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. On April 18, 2020, the Company’s former President and COO completed and submitted an application on behalf of the Company to Bank of America, NA (“Bank of America”) for a PPP loan, which was subsequently approved. On April 25, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured Promissory Note (the “Note”) with Bank of America for a loan in the original principal amount of approximately $460,000, and the Company received the full amount of the loan proceeds on May 4, 2020.

On July 21, 2020, Bank of America notified the Company in writing that it should not have received $440,000 of the loan proceeds disbursed under the Note. The Company investigated the terms of the application and discovered its former President had erroneously represented it was refinancing an Economic Injury Disaster Loan when no such loan had been received. Bank of America requested that the Company remit the funds received back to Bank of America. The Company is currently working with Bank of America on a repayment plan. If we are not successful in negotiating repayment terms, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. 

All such legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable and, regardless of the merits of the claims, litigation may be expensive, time-consuming, and disruptive to our operations and distracting to management. If resolved against us, such legal proceedings could result in excessive verdicts, injunctive relief or other equitable relief that may affect how we operate our business. Similarly, if we settle such legal proceedings, it may affect how we operate our business. Future court decisions, alternative dispute resolution awards, business expansion or legislative activity may increase our exposure to litigation and regulatory investigations. In some cases, substantial non-economic remedies or punitive damages may be sought. Although we maintain liability insurance coverage, there can be no assurance that such coverage will cover any verdict, judgment or settlement that may be entered against us, that such coverage will prove to be adequate or that such coverage will continue to remain available on acceptable terms, if at all. If we incur liability that exceeds our insurance coverage or that is not within the scope of the coverage in legal proceedings brought against us, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We are in an intensely competitive industry and there is no assurance we will be able to compete with our competitors who have greater resources than us.

While the telehealth market is in an early stage of development, it is competitive and we expect it to attract increased competition, which could make it difficult for us to succeed. We also expect to face competition for our planned medical clinics using Nurse Practitioners. We currently face competition in the telehealth industry from a range of companies, including specialized software and solution providers that offer similar solutions, often at substantially lower prices, and that are continuing to develop additional products and becoming more sophisticated and effective. In addition, large, well-financed health systems have in some cases developed their own telehealth tools and may provide these solutions to their customers and patients at discounted prices. The surge in interest in telehealth, and in particular the relaxation of HIPAA privacy and security requirements, has also attracted new competition from providers who utilize consumer-grade video conferencing platforms such as Zoom and Twilio. Competition from large software companies or other specialized solution providers, communication tools and other parties could result in continued pricing pressures, which is likely to lead to price declines in certain product segments, which could negatively impact our sales, profitability, and market share.

The market for healthcare solutions including walk-in clinics and services is intensely competitive. We compete in a highly fragmented primary care market with direct and indirect competitors that offer varying levels of impact to key stakeholders such as patients and employers. Our competitive success is contingent on our ability to simultaneously address the needs of key stakeholders efficiently and with superior outcomes at scale compared with competitors. We compete with walk-in clinics, traditional healthcare providers and medical practices, technology platforms, care management and coordination, digital health, telehealth and telemedicine and health information exchange. These competitors primarily include primary care providers who are employed by or affiliated with health networks. Our indirect competitors also include episodic consumer-driven point solutions such as telemedicine as well as urgent care providers. Generally, urgent care providers in the local communities we will serve provide services like those we intend to offer, and our competitors (1) are more established than we are, (2) may offer a broader array of services or more desirable facilities to patients and providers than ours and (3) may have larger or more specialized medical staffs to admit and refer patients, among other things. In the future, we expect to encounter increased competition from system-affiliated hospitals and healthcare companies, as well as health insurers and private equity companies seeking to acquire providers, in specific geographic markets. We also face competition from specialty hospitals (some of which are physician-owned), primary care providers and outpatient centers for market share in high margin services and for quality providers and personnel. Furthermore, some of the clinics and medical offices that compete with us may be supported by government agencies or not-for-profit organizations supported by endowments and charitable contributions and can finance capital expenditures and operations on a tax-exempt basis.

Competition in our market involves rapidly changing technologies, evolving regulatory requirements and industry expectations, frequent new product and service introductions and changes in customer and patient requirements. If we are unable to keep pace with the evolving needs of patients and continue to develop and introduce new applications and services in a timely and efficient manner, demand for our solutions and services may be reduced and our business and results of operations would be harmed.

Because we are a new business, our competitors may have greater name recognition, longer operating histories and significantly greater resources than we do. Further, our current or potential competitors may be acquired by third parties with greater available resources. As a result, our competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or customer and patient requirements and may have the ability to initiate or withstand substantial price competition. In addition, current and potential competitors have established, and may in the future establish, cooperative relationships with vendors of complementary services, technologies, or services to increase the availability of their solutions in the marketplace. Accordingly, new competitors or alliances may emerge that have greater market share, a larger customer base, more widely adopted proprietary technologies, greater marketing expertise, greater financial resources, and larger sales forces than we have, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage.

Our competitors could also be better positioned to serve certain segments of the telehealth market and medical clinic markets, which could create additional price pressure. In addition, many healthcare provider organizations are consolidating to create integrated healthcare delivery systems with greater market power. As provider networks and managed care organizations consolidate, thus decreasing the number of market participants, competition to provide products and services like ours could become more intense, and the importance of establishing and maintaining relationships with key industry participants could increase. These industry participants may try to use their market power to negotiate price reductions for our products and services. Considering these factors, even if our solution is more effective than those of our competitors, current or potential clients may accept competitive solutions in lieu of purchasing our solution. If we are unable to successfully compete in the telehealth market, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Competitors may also be better positioned to contract with leading health network partners in our target markets. If our competitors are better able to attract patients, contract with health network partners, recruit providers, expand services or obtain favorable managed care contracts at their facilities than we are, we may experience an overall decline in member volumes and net revenue. There is no assurance we will be able to successfully compete in the markets in which we plan to operate which could cause you to lose your investment.

Our lack of registered trademarks and trade names could potentially harm our business.

Our federal trademark registration for the mark THE GOOD CLINIC is on the Supplemental Register, not the Principal Register. The Supplemental Register does not confer the same rights and benefits as the Principal Register. Registration on the Supplemental Register is not useful for challenging third parties who may infringe our trademark rights, and we would need to rely on our common law rights to pursue enforcement. The Supplemental Register also does not confer nationwide priority of rights. As we expand our business, we may encounter third parties with common law rights in certain geographic markets with trademark rights that prevent us from using the mark THE GOOD CLINIC in those markets.

The success of our planned business depends on our ability to develop, market, and advertise our clinics and telehealth services.

Our ability to establish effective marketing and advertising campaigns for any clinics and telemarketing services we develop is important to our success. If we are unable to establish awareness of our brands and services, we may not be able to attract customers and generate revenue, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The telehealth market is immature and volatile, and if it does not develop, if it develops more slowly than we expect, if it encounters negative publicity or if our services are not competitive, the growth of our business will be harmed.

We opened our first primary care clinic “The Good Clinic” in Northeast Minneapolis, Minnesota in February 2021, and have added five additional operating clinics as of the date of this filing for a total of six clinics open and operating at December 31, 2021. We announced leases for two new clinics in the greater Denver, Colorado area. We are targeting to open 50 new clinics in the next three years, in addition to any existing clinics we may acquire.

We are new to this marketplace and there is no assurance we will be successful in our efforts. The telehealth market is relatively new and unproven, and it is uncertain whether it will achieve and sustain high levels of demand, consumer acceptance and market adoption. Our success will depend to a substantial extent on the willingness of patients to use, and to increase the frequency and extent of their utilization of, our services, as well as on our ability to demonstrate the value of telehealth to employers, health plans, government agencies and other purchasers of healthcare for beneficiaries. Negative publicity concerning us, or the telehealth market could limit market acceptance of our services. If our patients do not perceive the benefits of our services, or if our services are not competitive, then our business may not develop at all and we may not generate significant revenue, or it may develop more slowly than we expect. Similarly, individual and healthcare industry concerns or negative publicity regarding patient confidentiality and privacy in the context of telehealth could limit market acceptance of our healthcare services. If any of these events occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Rapid technological change in our industry presents us with significant risks and challenges.

The telehealth market is characterized by rapid technological change, changing consumer requirements, short product lifecycles and evolving industry standards. Our success will depend on our ability to enhance our solution with next-generation technologies and to develop or to acquire and market new services to access new consumer populations. There is no guarantee that we will possess the resources, either financial or personnel, for the research, design and development of new applications or services, or that we will be able to utilize these resources successfully and avoid technological or market obsolescence. Further, there can be no assurance that technological advances by one or more of our competitors or future competitors will not result in our present or future software-based products and services becoming uncompetitive or obsolete.

If we do not manage our strategy effectively, our revenue, business and operating results may be harmed.

We have not yet generated significant revenues from our present operations and may not do so for an indefinite period of time. Our strategy is to operate walk-in clinics, provide telemedicine and acquire complimentary business in the future. Our future revenues and profitability depend upon our ability to successfully implement our growth strategy. There can be no assurance given that we will be successful in executing our growth strategy, and even if we achieve our strategic plan, that we will realize, in full or in part, the anticipated benefits we expect our strategy will achieve. The failure to realize those benefits could have a material adverse effect on or business, financial condition, and results of operations. Acquisitions may require greater than anticipated investment of operational and financial resources. Acquisitions and related growth may also require the integration of different services, assimilation of new employees, diversion of management and IT resources, increases in administrative costs and other additional costs associated with any debt or equity financings undertaken in connection with such acquisitions. We may not be able to effectively manage this expansion in any one or more of these areas, and any failure to do so could significantly harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We cannot assure you that any acquisition we undertake will be successful. Future growth will also place additional demands on our resources and may require us to hire and train additional employees. We will need to expand and acquire systems and infrastructure to accommodate our planned operations. The failure to implement our plan of operations and manage any future growth effectively will materially and adversely affect our business.

Any damage to our reputation may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We believe that developing and maintaining our brand is critical and that our financial success is directly dependent on consumer perception of our brand. Furthermore, the importance of our brand recognition may become even greater as competitors offer more services similar to ours. We believe that our customers view our brand as one that is trusted, respected and effective. Many factors, some of which are beyond our control, are important to maintaining our reputation and brand. These factors include our ability to comply with ethical, social, medical, labor, and environmental standards. Any actual or perceived failure in compliance with such standards could damage our reputation and brand.

The success of our brand may also suffer if our marketing strategy or services do not have the desired impact on our company’s image or its ability to attract consumers. Further, our brand value could diminish significantly due to a number of factors, including consumer perception that we have acted in an irresponsible manner, adverse publicity about our clinics, our failure to maintain the integrity of our products, the failure of our services to deliver consistently positive customer experiences, or the services becoming unavailable to consumers.

Risks Related to Government Regulation

If the statutes and regulations in our industry change, our business could be adversely affected.

The U.S. healthcare industry has undergone significant changes designed to improve patient safety, improve clinical outcomes, and increase access to medical care. These changes include enactments and repeals of various healthcare related laws and regulation. Our operations and economic viability may be adversely affected by the changes in such regulations, including: (i) federal and state fraud and abuse laws; (ii) federal and state anti-kickback statutes; (iii) federal and state false claims laws; (iv) federal and state self-referral laws; (v) state restrictions on fee splitting; (vi) laws regarding the privacy and confidentiality of patient information; and (vii) other laws and government regulations.

If there are changes in laws, regulations, or administrative or judicial interpretations, we may have to change our future business practices, or our business practices could be challenged as unlawful, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The impact on our planned operations of recent healthcare legislation and other changes in the healthcare industry and in healthcare spending is currently unknown, but may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The impact on us of healthcare reform legislation and other changes in the healthcare industry and in healthcare spending is currently unknown, but may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Our revenue is dependent on the healthcare industry and could be affected by changes in healthcare spending, reimbursement, and policy. The healthcare industry is subject to changing political, regulatory, and other influences. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (the “Affordable Care Act” or the “ACA”) in 2010 made major changes in how healthcare is delivered and reimbursed and increased access to health insurance benefits to the uninsured and underinsured population of the United States.

Since its enactment, there have been judicial and Congressional challenges to certain aspects of the ACA as well as recent efforts by the current administration to repeal or replace certain aspects of the ACA. For example, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was enacted, which includes a provision repealing, effective January 1, 2019, the tax-based shared responsibility payment imposed by the ACA on certain individuals who fail to maintain qualifying health coverage for all or part of a year that is commonly referred to as the “individual mandate.” Since the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, there have been additional amendments to certain provisions of the ACA, and we expect the current administration and Congress will likely continue to seek to modify all, or certain provisions of, the ACA. It is uncertain the extent to which any such changes may impact our business or financial condition. Congress may consider other legislation to repeal and replace elements of the ACA. In December 2019, a federal appeals court held that the individual mandate portion of the ACA was unconstitutional and left open the question whether the remaining provisions of the ACA would be valid without the individual mandate. We continue to evaluate the effect that the ACA and its possible modification or repeal and replacement has on our business. It is uncertain the extent to which any such changes may impact our business or financial condition.

Other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the ACA was enacted. These changes include aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year pursuant to the Budget Control Act of 2011 and subsequent laws, which began in 2013 and will remain in effect through 2029 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was signed into law, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several types of providers, including hospitals, imaging centers and cancer treatment centers, and increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. New laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which may materially adversely affect customer demand and affordability for our products and services and, accordingly, the results of our financial operations. Additional changes that may affect our business include the expansion of new programs such as Medicare payment for performance initiatives for physicians under the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) which first affected physician payment in 2019. At this time, it is unclear how the introduction of the Medicare quality payment program will impact overall physician reimbursement.

Such changes in the regulatory environment may also result in changes to our payer mix that may affect our operations and revenue. In addition, certain provisions of the ACA authorize voluntary demonstration projects, which include the development of bundling payments for acute, inpatient hospital services, physician services and post-acute services for episodes of hospital care. Further, the ACA may adversely affect payers by increasing medical costs generally, which could influence the industry and potentially impact our business and revenue as payers seek to offset these increases by reducing costs in other areas. Certain of these provisions are still being implemented and the full impact of these changes on us cannot be determined at this time.

Uncertainty regarding future amendments to the ACA as well as new legislative proposals to reform healthcare and government insurance programs, along with the trend toward managed healthcare in the United States, could result in reduced demand and prices for our services. We expect that additional state and federal healthcare reform measures will be adopted in the future, any of which could limit the amounts that federal and state governments and other third-party payers will pay for healthcare products and services, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We are regulated by Federal Anti-Kickback Statutes.

The federal Anti-Kickback Statute is a provision of the Social Security Act of 1972 that prohibits as a felony offense the knowing and willful offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of any form of remuneration in return for, or to induce, (1) the referral of a patient for items or services for which payment may be made in whole or part under Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal healthcare programs, (2) the furnishing or arranging for the furnishing of items or services reimbursable under Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal healthcare programs or (3) the purchase, lease, or order or arranging or recommending the purchasing, leasing or ordering of any item or service reimbursable under Medicare, Medicaid or other federal healthcare programs. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“ACA”) amended section 1128B of the Social Security Act to make it clear that a person need not have actual knowledge of the statute, or specific intent to violate the statute, as a predicate for a violation. The OIG, which has the authority to impose administrative sanctions for violation of the statute, has adopted as its standard for review a judicial interpretation which concludes that the statute prohibits any arrangement where even one purpose of the remuneration is to induce or reward referrals. A violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute is a felony punishable by imprisonment, criminal fines of up to $25,000, civil fines of up to $50,000 per violation, and three times the amount of the unlawful remuneration. A violation also can result in exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal healthcare programs. In addition, pursuant to the changes of the ACA, a claim that includes items or services resulting from a violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute is a false claim for purposes of the False Claims Act.

We cannot assure that the applicable regulatory authorities will not determine that some of our arrangements with physicians violate the federal Anti-Kickback Statute or other applicable laws. An adverse determination could subject us to different liabilities, including criminal penalties, civil monetary penalties, and exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid, or other health care programs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

We are regulated by the Federal Stark Law.

The federal Stark Law, 42 U.S.C. 1395nn, also known as the physician self-referral law, generally prohibits a provider from referring Medicare and Medicaid patients to an entity (including hospitals) providing ‘‘designated health services,’’ if the physician or a member of the physician’s immediate family has a ‘‘financial relationship’’ with the entity, unless a specific exception applies. Designated health services include, among other services, inpatient hospital services, outpatient prescription drug services, clinical laboratory services, certain imaging services (e.g., MRI, CT, ultrasound), and other services that our affiliated physicians may order for their patients. The prohibition applies regardless of the reasons for the financial relationship and the referral; and therefore, unlike the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, intent to violate the law is not required. Like the Anti-Kickback Statute, the Stark Law contains statutory and regulatory exceptions intended to protect certain types of transactions and arrangements. Unlike safe harbors under the Anti-Kickback Statute with which compliance is voluntary, an arrangement must comply with every requirement of a Stark Law exception, or the arrangement is in violation of the Stark Law.

Because the Stark Law and implementing regulations continue to evolve and are detailed and complex, while we attempt to structure our relationships to meet an exception to the Stark Law, there can be no assurance that the arrangements entered into by us with affiliated physicians and facilities will be found to be in compliance with the Stark Law, as it ultimately may be implemented or interpreted. The penalties for violating the Stark Law can include the denial of payment for services ordered in violation of the statute, mandatory refunds of any sums paid for such services, and civil penalties of up to $15,000 for each violation, double damages, and possible exclusion from future participation in the governmental healthcare programs. A person who engages in a scheme to circumvent the Stark Law’s prohibitions may be fined up to $100,000 for each applicable arrangement or scheme.

Some states have enacted statutes and regulations against self-referral arrangements similar to the federal Stark Law, but which may be applicable to the referral of patients regardless of their payor source and which may apply to different types of services. These state laws may contain statutory and regulatory exceptions that are different from those of the federal law and that may vary from state to state. An adverse determination under these state laws and/or the federal Stark Law could subject us to different liabilities, including criminal penalties, civil monetary penalties, and exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid, or other health care programs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

We must comply with Health Information Privacy and Security Standards.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), as amended, contain detailed requirements concerning the use and disclosure of individually identifiable patient health information (“PHI”) by various healthcare providers, such as medical groups. HIPAA covered entities must implement certain administrative, physical, and technical security standards to protect the integrity, confidentiality and availability of certain electronic health information received, maintained, or transmitted. HIPAA also implemented standard transaction code sets and standard identifiers that covered entities must use when submitting or receiving certain electronic healthcare transactions, including billing and claim collection activities. Violations of the HIPAA privacy and security rules may result in civil and criminal penalties, including a tiered system of civil money penalties that range from $100 to $50,000 per violation, with a cap of $1.5 million per year for identical violations. A HIPAA covered entity must also promptly notify affected individuals where a breach affects more than 500 individuals and report breaches affecting fewer than 500 individuals annually. State attorneys general may bring civil actions on behalf of state residents for violations of the HIPAA privacy and security rules, obtain damages on behalf of state residents, and enjoin further violations.

Many states also have laws that protect the privacy and security of confidential, personal information, which may be similar to or even more stringent than HIPAA. Some of these state laws may impose fines and penalties on violators and may afford private rights of action to individuals who believe their personal information has been misused. We expect increased federal and state privacy and security enforcement efforts.

A cyber security incident could cause a violation of HIPAA, breach of customer and patient privacy, or other negative impacts.

We will rely extensively on our information technology (or IT) systems to manage scheduling and financial data, communicate with our future customers and their patients, vendors, and other third parties, and summarize and analyze operating results. In addition, we have made significant investments in technology, including the engagement of a third-party IT provider. A cyber-attack that bypasses our IT security systems could cause an IT security breach, a loss of protected health information, or other data subject to privacy laws, a loss of proprietary business information, or a material disruption of our IT business systems. This in turn could have a material adverse impact on our business and result of operations. In addition, our future results of operations, as well as our reputation, could be adversely impacted by theft, destruction, loss, or misappropriation of public health information, other confidential data, or proprietary business information.

Computer malware, viruses, and hacking and phishing attacks by third parties have become more prevalent in our industry, have occurred on our systems in the past, and may occur on our systems in the future. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to or sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until successfully launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. As cyber-security threats develop and grow, it may be necessary to make significant further investments to protect data and infrastructure. If an actual or perceived breach of our security occurs, (i) we could suffer severe reputational damage adversely affecting customer or investor confidence, (ii) the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed, (iii) we could lose potential sales, our ability to deliver our services or operate our business may be impaired, (iv) we may be subject to litigation or regulatory investigations or orders and (v) we may incur significant liabilities. Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover the potentially significant losses that may result from security breaches.

We must comply with Environmental and Occupational Safety and Health Administration Regulations.

We are subject to federal, state, and local regulations governing the storage, use and disposal of waste materials and products. Although we believe that our safety procedures for storing, handling, and disposing of these materials and products comply with the standards prescribed by law and regulation, we cannot eliminate the risk of accidental contamination or injury from those hazardous materials. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for any damages that result and any liability could exceed the limits or fall outside the coverage of our insurance coverage, which we may not be able to maintain on acceptable terms, or at all. We could incur significant costs and attention of our management could be diverted to comply with current or future environmental laws and regulations. Federal regulations promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration impose additional requirements on us, including those protecting employees from exposure to elements such as blood-borne pathogens. We cannot predict the frequency of compliance, monitoring, or enforcement actions to which we may be subject as those regulations are being implemented, which could adversely affect our operations.

We must comply with a range of other Federal and State Healthcare Laws.

We are subject to other federal and state healthcare laws that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. The Health Care Fraud Statute prohibits any person from knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, which can be either a government or private payor plan. Violation of this statute, even in the absence of actual knowledge of or specific intent to violate the statute, may be charged as a felony offense and may result in fines, imprisonment, or both. The Health Care False Statement Statute prohibits, in any matter involving a federal health care program, anyone from knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing, or covering up, by any trick, scheme or device, a material fact, or making any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation, or making or using any materially false writing or document knowing that it contains a materially false or fraudulent statement. A violation of this statute may be charged as a felony offense and may result in fines, imprisonment, or both. Under the Civil Monetary Penalties Law of the Social Security Act, a person (including an organization) is prohibited from knowingly presenting or causing to be presented to any United States officer, employee, agent, or department, or any state agency, a claim for payment for medical or other items or services where the person knows or should know (a) the items or services were not provided as described in the coding of the claim, (b) the claim is a false or fraudulent claim, (c) the claim is for a service furnished by an unlicensed physician, (d) the claim is for medical or other items or service furnished by a person or an entity that is in a period of exclusion from the program, or (e) the items or services are medically unnecessary items or services. Violations of the law may result in penalties of up to $10,000 per claim, treble damages, and exclusion from federal healthcare programs.

In addition, the office of inspector general (“OIG”) may impose civil monetary penalties against any physician who knowingly accepts payment from a hospital (as well as against the hospital making the payment) as an inducement to reduce or limit medically necessary services provided to Medicare or Medicaid program beneficiaries. Further, except as permitted under the Civil Monetary Penalties Law, a person who offers or transfers to a Medicare or Medicaid beneficiary any remuneration that the person knows or should know is likely to influence the beneficiary’s selection of a particular provider of Medicare or Medicaid payable items or services may be liable for civil money penalties of up to $10,000 for each wrongful act.

In addition to the state laws previously described, we may also be subject to other state fraud and abuse statutes and regulations if we expand our operations nationally. Many states have adopted a form of anti-kickback law, self-referral prohibition, and false claims and insurance fraud prohibition. The scope of these laws and the interpretations of them vary from state to state and are enforced by state courts and regulatory authorities, each with broad discretion. Generally, state laws reach to all healthcare services and not just those covered under a governmental healthcare program. A determination of liability under any of these laws could result in fines and penalties and restrictions on our ability to operate in these states. We cannot assure that our arrangements or business practices will not be subject to government scrutiny or be found to violate applicable fraud and abuse laws.

Changes in healthcare laws could create an uncertain environment and materially impact us.

We cannot predict the effect that the ACA and its implementation, amendment, or repeal and replacement, may have on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Any changes in healthcare laws or regulations that reduce, curtail, or eliminate payments, government-subsidized programs, government-sponsored programs, and/or the expansion of Medicare or Medicaid, among other actions, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. For example, the ACA dramatically changed how healthcare services are covered, delivered, and reimbursed. The ACA requires insurers to accept all applicants, regardless of pre-existing conditions, cover an extensive list of conditions and treatments, and charge the same rates, regardless of pre-existing condition or gender.

The ACA and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “Health Care Reform Acts”) also mandated changes specific to home health and hospice benefits under Medicare. In 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the ACA, including the “individual mandate” provisions of the ACA that generally require all individuals to obtain healthcare insurance or pay a penalty. However, the U.S. Supreme Court also held that the provision of the ACA that authorized the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to penalize states that choose not to participate in the expansion of the Medicaid program by removing all its existing Medicaid funding was unconstitutional. In response to the ruling, several state governors opposed its state’s participation in the expanded Medicaid program, which resulted in the ACA not providing coverage to some low-income persons in those states. In addition, several bills have been, and are continuing to be, introduced in U.S. Congress to amend all or significant provisions of the ACA, or repeal and replace the ACA with another law. In December 2017, the individual mandate was repealed via the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Afterwards, legal, and political challenges as to the constitutionality of the remaining provisions of the ACA resumed.

Our operations are subject to the nation’s healthcare laws, as amended, repealed, or replaced from time to time.

The net effect of the ACA on our business is subject to numerous variables, including the law’s complexity, lack of complete implementing regulations and interpretive guidance, gradual and potentially delayed implementation, or possible amendment, as well as the uncertainty as to the extent to which states will choose to participate in the expanded Medicaid program. The continued implementation of provisions of the ACA, the adoption of new regulations thereunder and ongoing challenges thereto, also added uncertainty about the current state of U.S. healthcare laws and could negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. Healthcare providers could be subject to federal and state investigations and payor audits.

Due to our participation in government and private healthcare programs, we are from time to time involved in inquiries, reviews, audits, and investigations by governmental agencies and private payors of our business practices, including assessments of our compliance with coding, billing, and documentation requirements. Federal and state government agencies have active civil and criminal enforcement efforts against healthcare companies, and their executives and managers. The Deficit Reduction Act, which provides a financial incentive to states to enact their own false claims acts, and similar laws encourage investigations against healthcare companies by different agencies. These investigations could also be initiated by private whistleblowers.

Responding to audit and investigative activities are costly and disruptive to our business operations, even when the allegations are without merit. If we are subject to an audit or investigation, a finding could be made that we or our affiliates erroneously billed or were incorrectly reimbursed, and we may be required to repay such agencies or payors, may be subjected to pre-payment reviews, which can be time-consuming and result in non-payment or delayed payments for the services we or our affiliates provide, and may be subject to financial sanctions or required to modify our operations.

Our revenues may depend on our patients’ receipt of adequate reimbursement from private insurers and government sponsored healthcare programs.

Political, economic, and regulatory influences continue to change the healthcare industry in the United States. If and when we start receiving reimbursements from third parties, the ability of patients to pay fees for our products will partially depend on the extent to which reimbursement for the costs of such materials and related treatments will continue to be available from private health coverage insurers and other similar organizations. We may have difficulty gaining market acceptance for the products we sell if third-party payors do not provide adequate coverage and reimbursement to hospitals. Major third-party payors of hospitals, such as private healthcare insurers, periodically revise their payment methodologies based, in part, upon changes in government sponsored healthcare programs. We cannot predict these periodic revisions with certainty, and such revisions may result in stricter standards for reimbursement of hospital charges for certain specified products, potentially adversely impacting our business, results of operations, and financial conditions when we start receiving reimbursement from third party payors.

When we start receiving reimbursement from third party payors, the sales of our therapies will depend in part on the availability of reimbursement by third-party payors, such as government health administration authorities, private health insurers and other organizations. Third-party payors often challenge the price and cost-effectiveness of medical treatments and services. Governmental approval of health care products does not guarantee that these third-party payers will pay for the products. Even if third-party payers do accept our therapeutic treatments, the amounts they pay may not be adequate to enable us to realize a profit. Legislation and regulations affecting the pricing of therapies may change before our products and services are approved for marketing, and any such changes could further limit reimbursement, if any.

Future regulatory action remains uncertain.

We operate in a highly regulated and evolving environment with rigorous regulatory enforcement. Any legal or regulatory action could be time-consuming and costly. If we or the manufacturers or distributors that supply our products fail to comply with all applicable laws, standards, and regulations, action by the FDA or other regulatory agencies could result in significant restrictions, including restrictions on the marketing or use of the products we sell or the withdrawal of the products we sell from the market. Any such restrictions or withdrawals could materially affect our reputation, business, and operations.

Risks Related to Acquisitions

Acquisitions may subject us to liability with regard to the creditors, customers, and shareholders of the sellers.

While we intend that any acquisitions that we consummate will typically be structured as asset purchase agreements in which we attempt to limit our risk and exposure relative to the respective sellers’ liabilities, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in avoiding all liability. Creditors may seek to hold us accountable for seller debt and customers and for seller breaches of contract prior to our transactions. Occasionally, disaffected shareholders may attempt to interfere with our business acquisitions. We will attempt to minimize all of these risks through thorough due diligence, negotiating indemnities and holdbacks, obtaining relevant representations from sellers, and leveraging experienced professionals when appropriate; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to mitigate all risks.

We may be unable to implement our strategy of acquiring companies.

Although we expect that one or more acquisition opportunities will become available in the future, we may not be able to acquire companies at all or on terms favorable to us. We will likely need additional financing for such acquisitions, but there is no assurance that we will be able to borrow funds or raise capital through the issuance of our equity on favorable terms. Certain of our larger, better capitalized competitors may seek to acquire some of the companies we may be interested in. Competition for acquisitions would likely increase acquisition prices and result in us having fewer acquisition opportunities. Depending on the type of businesses we acquire, we may have varying cost saving and/or cross-selling opportunities with the acquired business. However, there is no assurance that we will achieve anticipated cost savings and cross-selling on our acquisitions, and failure to do so may mean we overpaid for such acquisitions. In completing any acquisitions, we will rely upon the representations and warranties and indemnities made by the sellers with respect to each acquisition as well as our own due diligence investigation. We cannot be assured that such representations and warranties will be true and correct or that our due diligence will uncover all materially adverse facts relating to the operations and financial condition of the acquired companies or their customers. To the extent that we are required to pay for obligations of an acquired company, or if material misrepresentations exist, we may not realize the expected benefit from such acquisition, and we will have overpaid in cash, stock, assumed debt, seller notes, and/or earnouts for the value received in that acquisition.

Future acquisitions may result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of indebtedness and increased amortization expense.

Future acquisitions may result in dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt, the assumption of known and unknown liabilities, the write-off of software development costs and the amortization of expenses related to intangible assets, all of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We face risks arising from acquisitions that we pursue in the future.

We may pursue strategic acquisitions in the future. Risks in acquisition transactions include difficulties in the integration of acquired businesses into our operations and control environment, difficulties in assimilating and retaining employees and intermediaries, difficulties in retaining the existing clients of the acquired entities, assumed or unforeseen liabilities that arise in connection with the acquired businesses, the failure of counter parties to satisfy any obligations to indemnify us against liabilities arising from the acquired businesses, and unfavorable market conditions that could negatively impact our growth expectations for the acquired businesses. Fully integrating an acquired company or business into our operations may take a significant amount of time. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in overcoming these risks or any other problems encountered with acquisitions and other strategic transactions. These risks may prevent us from realizing the expected benefits from acquisitions and could result in the failure to realize he full economic value of a strategic transaction or the impairment of goodwill and/or intangible assets recognized at the time of an acquisition. These risks could be heightened if we complete a large acquisition or multiple acquisitions within a short period of time.

Risks Related to Our Management

Our future success depends, in part, on the performance and continued service of our officers and directors

We presently depend to a great extent upon the experience, abilities, and continued services of our management team, particularly our Chief Executive Officer. The loss of our management team’s services could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operation. Failure to maintain our management team could prove disruptive to our daily operations, require a disproportionate amount of resources and management attention, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We do not maintain key person insurance on any member of our management team.

Our executive officers, directors and certain key stockholders own and control a significant number of voting securities and so long as they do, they are able to control the outcome of stockholder voting.

Our executive officers, directors as well as certain other key shareholders are the owners of approximately 71% of the voting shares of the Company as a result of their ownership over our Series X Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series X Preferred Stock”), and Common Stock. The Series X Preferred stock votes with our outstanding shares of Common Stock at the rate of 20,000 votes for each share owned, one (1) vote for each common holder. As such, our management can determine the outcome of all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors. Our management’s control of our voting securities may make it impossible to complete some corporate transactions without its support and may prevent a change in our control. In addition, this ownership could discourage the acquisition of our Common Stock by potential investors and could have an anti-takeover effect, possibly depressing the trading price of our Common Stock. However, subject to effectiveness of this registration statement, the holders of the Series X Preferred Stock have agreed to exchange their shares for newly issued Series D Preferred Stock. This event will create an additional [___] shares of Series D Preferred Stock, and as a result all outstanding shares of Series X Preferred Stock will be extinguished, along with their voting rights.  In this event, the executive officers, directors, and other key shareholders will not be able to control the outcome of all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval and we will need our stockholders approval for certain corporate transactions which may involve more time and expense.

Risks Relating to this Offering and Ownership of our Common Stock

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering, including for any of the purposes described in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds,” and you will not have the opportunity as part of your investment decision to assess whether the net proceeds will be used appropriately. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. Our management might not apply our net proceeds in ways that ultimately increase the value of your investment. We currently intend to use the net proceeds of this offering primarily for general corporate purposes and clinic expansion.

Our expected use of net proceeds from this offering represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business condition. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot predict with certainty all the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the completion of this offering, or the amounts that we will actually spend on the uses set forth above. The amounts and timing of our actual use of the net proceeds will vary depending on numerous factors, including the commercial success of our systems and the costs of our research and development activities, as well as the amount of cash used in our operations. As a result, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and investors will be relying on our judgment regarding the application of the net proceeds of this offering.

The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our stockholders. If we do not invest or apply the net proceeds from this offering in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which could cause our stock price to decline.

Shares eligible for future sale may have adverse effects on our share price.

Sales of substantial amounts of shares or the perception that such sales could occur may adversely affect the prevailing market price for our shares. We may issue additional shares in subsequent public offerings or private placements to make new investments or for other purposes. We are not required to offer any such shares to existing shareholders on a preemptive basis. Therefore, it may not be possible for existing shareholders to participate in such future share issuances, which may dilute the existing shareholders’ interests in us.

Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value.

The public offering price per share is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. As a result, investors in this offering will incur immediate dilution of $[__] per share, based on the assumed public offering price of $[__] per share which is the midpoint of the estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. Investors in this offering will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds the book value of our assets after subtracting our liabilities. See “Dilution” for a more complete description of how the value of your investment will be diluted upon the completion of this offering.

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

We currently intend to retain all our future earnings to finance the growth and development of our business, and therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We believe it is likely that our Board will continue to conclude, that it is in our best interests to retain all earnings (if any) for the development of our business. In addition, the terms of any future debt agreements may preclude us from paying dividends. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our Common Stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our Common Stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on our company. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of our company, the trading price for our stock would likely be negatively impacted. In the event securities or industry analysts initiate coverage, if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price may decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our company or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.

Our stock price has fluctuated in the past, has recently been volatile and may be volatile in the future, and as a result, investors in our Common Stock could incur substantial losses.

Our stock price has fluctuated in the past, has recently been volatile and may be volatile in the future. On April 8, 2022, the reported low sale price of our Common Stock was $0.20, while the reported high sales price was $0.25, with a closing price of $0.24. For comparison purposes, on December 31, 2020, our stock price closed at $0.03. The increase in stock price is believed to be related to the opening of six clinics in 2021.We may incur rapid and substantial decreases in our stock price in the foreseeable future that are unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. The stock market in general and the market for telehealth companies in particular have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. For example, the recent outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus has caused broad stock market and industry fluctuations. In addition, sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our Common Stock and our stock price may decline substantially in a short period of time. As a result, our stockholders could suffer losses or be unable to liquidate holdings. As a result of this volatility, investors may experience losses on their investment in our Common Stock. The market price for our Common Stock may be influenced by many factors, including the following:

These broad market and industry factors may seriously harm the market price of our Common Stock, regardless of our operating performance. Since the stock price of our Common Stock has fluctuated in the past, has been recently volatile and may be volatile in the future, investors in our Common Stock could incur substantial losses. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. There can be no guarantee that our stock price will remain at current prices or that future sales of our Common Stock will not be at prices lower than those sold to investors.

Additionally, securities of certain companies have recently experienced significant and extreme volatility in stock price due to short sellers of shares of Common Stock, known as a “short squeeze.” These short squeezes have caused extreme volatility in those companies and in the market and have led to the price per share of those companies to trade at a significantly inflated rate that is disconnected from the underlying value of the company. Many investors who have purchased shares in those companies at an inflated rate face the risk of losing a significant portion of their original investment as the price per share has declined steadily as interest in those stocks have abated. While we have no reason to believe our shares would be the target of a short squeeze, there can be no assurance that we won’t be in the future, and you may lose a significant portion or all your investment if you purchase our shares at a rate that is significantly disconnected from our underlying value.

There can be no assurances that our Common Stock once listed on the Nasdaq will not be subject to potential delisting if we do not continue to maintain the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market.

We have applied to list the shares of our Common Stock on the Nasdaq, under the symbol “MITI.” An approval of our listing application by Nasdaq will be subject to, among other things, our fulfilling all the listing requirements of Nasdaq. In addition, Nasdaq has rules for continued listing, including, without limitation, minimum market capitalization and other requirements. Failure to maintain our listing (i.e., being de-listed from Nasdaq), would make it more difficult for stockholders to sell our Common Stock and more difficult to obtain accurate price quotations on our Common Stock. This could have an adverse effect on the price of our Common Stock. Our ability to issue additional securities for financing or other purposes, or otherwise to arrange for any financing we may need in the future, may also be materially and adversely affected if our Common Stock is not traded on a national securities exchange.

Our Common Stock is thinly traded, so you may be unable to sell at or near asking prices, or at all.

Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “MITI.” Shares of our Common Stock have, until recently, been thinly traded, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing shares of our Common Stock at or near asking prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors. We are a small company that is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stockbrokers, institutional investors, and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume; and stock analysts, stockbrokers and institutional investors may be risk-averse and be reluctant to follow an unproven, early-stage company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we become more seasoned and viable. As a result, our stock price may not reflect an actual or perceived value. Also, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal, as compared to a seasoned issuer that has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. A broader or more active public trading market for our Common Stock may not develop or if developed, may not be sustained. Due to these conditions, you may not be able to sell your shares at or near asking prices or at all should you attempt to sell your common shares.

Our reverse stock split may not result in a proportional increase in the per share price of our Common Stock.

The effect of the reverse stock split on the market price for our Common Stock cannot be accurately predicted. In particular, we cannot assure you that the prices for shares of the Common Stock after the reverse stock split will increase proportionately to prices for shares of our Common Stock immediately before the reverse stock split. The market price of our Common Stock may also be affected by other factors which may be unrelated to the reverse stock split, or the number of shares issued and outstanding.

Furthermore, even if the market price of our Common Stock does rise following the reverse stock split, we cannot assure you that the market price of our Common Stock immediately after the proposed reverse stock split will be maintained for any period of time. Moreover, because some investors may view the reverse stock split negatively, we cannot assure you that the reverse stock split will not adversely impact the market price of our Common Stock. There is also the possibility that liquidity may be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares which would be issued and outstanding when the reverse stock split is effected, particularly if the price per share of our Common Stock begins a declining trend after the reverse stock split is affected. Accordingly, our total market capitalization after the reverse stock split may be lower than the market capitalization before the reverse stock split.

Because we may issue preferred stock without the approval of our shareholders and have other anti-takeover defenses, it may be more difficult for a third party to acquire us and could depress our stock price.

In general, our Board may issue, without a vote of our shareholders, one or more additional series of preferred stock that have more than one vote per share, although our ability to designate and issue preferred stock is currently restricted by covenants in the Certificate of Designation for the Series C Preferred Stock. Without these restrictions, our Board could issue preferred stock to investors who support us and our management and give effective control of our business to our management. Additionally, issuance of preferred stock could block an acquisition resulting in both a drop in our stock price and a decline in interest of our Common Stock. This could make it more difficult for shareholders to sell their Common Stock. This could also cause the market price of our Common Stock shares to drop significantly, even if our business is performing well.

Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.

Sales of large blocks of our Common Stock could depress the price of our Common Stock. The existence of these shares and shares of Common Stock that may be issuable upon conversion or exercise, as applicable, of outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock, warrants and options create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” which can act as a depressant to our Common Stock price. The existence of an overhang, whether sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-linked securities more difficult in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. If our existing shareholders and investors seek to convert or exercise such securities or sell a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock, such selling efforts may cause significant declines in the market price of our Common Stock. In addition, the shares of our Common Stock sold in the offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. As a result, a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may be sold in the public market following this offering. If there are significantly more shares of Common Stock offered for sale than buyers are willing to purchase, then the market price of our Common Stock may decline to a market price at which buyers are willing to purchase the offered Common Stock and sellers remain willing to sell our Common Stock.
