EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

OptimizeRx Corporation is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (“Amendment No. 1”) to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2022, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 9, 2022 (the “Original 10-Q Filing”) to address management’s re-evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures and to reflect the identification of a material weakness. The material weakness did not result in any change to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as set forth in the Original 10-Q Filing.

 

This Amendment No. 1 is limited in scope to make the following changes to the Original 10-Q Filing:

 

●

To amend Part I - Item 4. Controls and Procedures to reflect management’s (i) re-evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, and (ii) identification of a material weakness.

 

●

To amend Part II - Item 6. Exhibits to include the following currently dated documents: certifications from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, which certifications are filed herewith as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, and 32.1.

 

This Amendment No. 1 has not been updated or amended to give effect to any subsequent events beyond those that existed as of the original filing date and should thus be read in conjunction with the Original 10-Q Filing and any of the company’s other filings with the SEC subsequent to the Original 10-Q Filing, together with any amendments to those filings. Other than the filing of the information identified above, this amendment does not modify or update the disclosure in the Original 10-Q Filing in any way. Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, when used in this Amendment No. 1, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “OptimizeRx,” or the “Company” refer to OptimizeRx Corporation and its subsidiaries.

 

The Company is concurrently filing Amendment No. 1 to each of its (i) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and (ii) Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022.

 

 

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

In connection with the Company’s Original 10-Q Filing, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based on this evaluation, at the time of the Original 10-Q Filing, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e), were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

 

Subsequent to the filing of the Original 10-Q Filing and in connection with the filing of Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company’s management identified a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting which is summarized below. As a result of its identification of the material weakness, management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, re-evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded such controls were not effective as of March 31, 2022.

 

Notwithstanding the material weakness, our management has concluded, based on substantive testing performed, that the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Original 10-Q Filing fairly present in all material respects the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of, and for, the periods presented in this report, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Material Weakness in 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 a Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

Subsequent to the Original 10-Q Filing, our management identified the following material weakness existed as of March 31, 2022: inadequate controls to ensure that data received from third-party service organizations is complete and accurate.

 

Plan for Remediation of Material Weakness

 

Management is actively engaged in the planning for, and implementation of, remediation efforts to address the material weakness identified above. Management intends to implement the following remediation steps:

 

●

The Company will require each third-party service organization to provide a SOC-1, Type 2 report to us.

 

●

If a SOC-1, Type 2 report is not available, the Company will evaluate each third-party’s relevant system(s) and reporting directly through inquiry and substantive testing of such third-party’s control environment.

 

Management believes the measures described above will remediate the material weakness that we have identified. As management continues to evaluate and improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, the Company may decide to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify, or in appropriate circumstances not to complete, certain of the remediation measures identified.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act), that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. The Company conducts periodic evaluations of its internal controls to enhance, where necessary, its procedures and controls.
