Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Organization and Presentation

 

Organization

 

Medytox Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated in Nevada on July 20, 2005 as Casino Players, Inc. In the first half of 2011, Company management decided to reorganize the operations of the Company as a holding company to acquire and manage a number of companies in the medical services sector.

 

On January 1, 2013, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Medytox Diagnostics, Inc. (“MDI”), purchased 100% of the stock of Alethea Laboratories, Inc. ("Alethea").  Althea operates a licensed clinical lab in Las Cruces, New Mexico and is an enrolled Medicare provider.  

 

On January 29, 2013, the Company formed Advantage Reference Labs, Inc. (“Advantage”), a Florida corporation, as a wholly-owned subsidiary that will provide reference, confirmation and clinical testing services. On October 14, 2013, Advantage changed its name to EPIC Reference Labs, Inc.

 

On April 4, 2013, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, MDI, purchased 100% of the interests in International Technologies, LLC ("Tech").  Tech operates a licensed clinical lab in Waldwick, New Jersey and is an enrolled Medicare provider.  

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statement presentation and in accordance with Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required in annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods reported in this Form 10-Q. The results of operations presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.

 

These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2012 annual financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 16, 2013 and September 3, 2013, respectively.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain items on the statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

 

Note 2 – Disputed Subsidiary

 

On July 2, 2013, a jury awarded our wholly-owned subsidiary, Medytox Institute of Laboratory Medicine, Inc. ("MILM"), $2,906,844 on its breach of contract claim against Trident Laboratories, Inc. ("Trident"), and Trident's shareholders, Michele Steegstra, Christopher Hawley, Donette Hawley, Michael Falestta and Skyler Lukas ("Shareholders"), and awarded Seamus Lagan $750,000 individually against Christopher Hawley for Mr. Hawley's defamatory postings on the internet.  The jury rejected every claim made against the MILM parties.

 

The case arose from the August 22, 2011 agreement among MILM and Trident and its Shareholders pursuant to which MILM was to acquire 81% of Trident.  On January 17, 2012, Trident notified MILM that it was rescinding the agreement.  As a result, MILM filed suit against Trident and its Shareholders in Florida Circuit Court in Broward County.  The jury found that Trident and its Shareholders breached the agreement and failed to perform their obligations thereunder.

Note 2 – Disputed Subsidiary (Continued)

 

Trident and the Shareholders filed motions for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, for a new trial, to dismiss the case, and for remittitur. On September 4, 2013, the judge denied all these motions and entered a partial final judgment in the amounts granted by the jury. MILM’s claims for specific performance remain to be decided by the Court. Trident and the Shareholders have filed a notice of appeal. One of the Shareholders, Donnette Hawley, filed a petition for bankruptcy on October 22, 2013.

 

Legal fees related to the lawsuit were $267,286 and $857,587 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and $34,900 and $200,496 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

 

The Company has not received any financial statements of Trident since August 31, 2012.  These consolidated financial statements were prepared without the missing activity.  Management believes that the missing activity is immaterial to the consolidated financial statements as a whole.  The Company has established a disputed net income reserve of $397,918 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, representing all of Trident's net income recognized by the Company since August 22, 2011, the date of acquisition.  The assets and liabilities of Trident have been condensed and presented as assets, or liabilities, attributable to disputed activity in the September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 consolidated balance sheets.  A separate $389,135 of commissions payable on Trident sales is included in liabilities attributable to disputed activity as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  

 

Assets and liabilities of the disputed subsidiary as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows:

 

Total assets  $1,367,796 
      
Total liabilities  $1,104,063 

 

Note 3 – Long-Lived Assets

 

Property and equipment at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 consisted of the following:

 

   September 30,   December 31,

The stock price was based on the price of shares sold to investors and volatility was based on comparable volatility of other companies since the Company had no significant historical volatility. The $85,000 was expensed as stock-based consulting fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

 

Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company computes income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share", which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2013, there were a total of 23,170,000 stock options to purchase shares of common stock outstanding, warrants outstanding to purchase 346,400 shares of common stock, $750,000 of convertible debentures convertible into an estimated 206,838 shares of the Company’s common stock, and 1,000,000 shares of convertible Series C preferred stock outstanding. However, these potentially dilutive shares are considered to be anti-dilutive and are therefore not included in the calculation of income (loss) per share.

Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

 

Legal Matters (Continued)

 

On July 2, 2013, a jury awarded our wholly-owned subsidiary, MILM, $2,906,844 on its breach of contract claim against Trident and Trident's shareholders, Michele Steegstra, Christopher Hawley, Donette Hawley, Michael Falestta and Skyler Lukas ("Shareholders"), and awarded Seamus Lagan $750,000 individually against Christopher Hawley for Mr. Hawley's defamatory postings on the internet. The jury rejected every claim made against the MILM parties.

 

The case arose from the August 22, 2011 agreement among MILM and Trident and its Shareholders pursuant to which MILM was to acquire 81% of Trident. On January 17, 2012, Trident notified MILM that it was rescinding the agreement. As a result, MILM filed suit against Trident and its Shareholders in Florida Circuit Court in Broward County. The jury found that Trident and its Shareholders breached the agreement and failed to perform their obligations thereunder.

 

Trident and the Shareholders filed motions for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, for a new trial, to dismiss the case, and for remittitur. On September 4, 2013, the judge denied all these motions and entered a partial final judgment in the amounts granted by the jury. MILM’s claims for specific performance remain to be decided by the Court. Trident and the Shareholders have filed a notice of appeal. One of the Shareholders, Donnette Hawley, filed a petition for bankruptcy on October 22, 2013.

 

Legal fees related to the lawsuit were $267,286 and $857,587 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and $34,900 and $200,496 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

 

Note 9 – Subsequent Events

 

On October 9, 2013, the Company issued 68,000 shares of its common stock to two investors for $170,000 cash ($2.50 per share) in private placements.

 

On October 21, 2013, Reginald Samuels, a former member and employee of International Technologies, LLC, filed a complaint in the Superior Court of New Jersey (Bergen County) against the Company and Medytox Diagnostics, Inc. alleging breach of contract under his employment agreement and the agreement under which International Technologies, LLC was acquired; unjust enrichment; fraud; intentional and negligent misrepresentation; and breach of an implied duty of good faith and fair dealing and seeking an accounting. The Company believes these claims are without merit.

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company has determined that there are no other events that warrant disclosure or recognition in the consolidated financial statements.

Company Overview

 

Medytox Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”, "Medytox", “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a holding company that owns and operates businesses in the medical services sector.  Its principal line of business is clinical laboratory blood and urine testing services, with a particular emphasis in the provision of urine drug toxicology and comprehensive pain medication monitoring programs to physicians, clinics and rehabilitation facilities in the United States.  In each of 2012 and the nine months ended September 30, 2013, testing services to rehabilitation facilities represented over 70% of our revenues.

 

We offer a complete, turn-key urine drug testing (UDT) program allowing physicians to proactively monitor and treat patients. The Medytox UDT program is utilized by physicians to identify and evaluate prescribed and/or non-prescribed drugs that when combined may cause adverse drug interactions dangerous to a patient's health.  With our UDT program, physicians can be more assured their patients are adhering to their therapeutic drug regimens and are in compliance with their prescribed guidelines. Our UDT program helps the health care provider achieve better outcomes for patients and in evaluating to what extent the prescribed medications and their dosages are working for the patient to achieve a better outcome towards recovery.

 

In addition to our clinical testing operations, we provide a web-based portal to provide laboratory ordering and results to our physician customers.

 

As a provider of clinical laboratory services, we continue to pursue our strategy of acquiring or entering into binding relationships with high-complexity laboratories that can facilitate our customers' needs. We have successfully completed several such acquisitions or strategic partnerships with laboratories located in different regions of the United States, allowing us to correspondingly increase our client base. These laboratories, and those we shall continue to seek out, offer or can be developed to offer the most advanced analytical technology for the processing of urine and blood specimens including Immunoassay Analyzers (IA) for screens and GCMS/LCMS for confirmations.  We currently anticipate that the laboratories will be fully-staffed professional COLA-accredited high-complexity laboratories with additional certifications such as the COLA Laboratory of Excellence Award (COLA's Highest Commendation), CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) and the State of Florida's AHCA Clinical Laboratory License for Non-Waived High Complexity testing .  Our in-house billing company services all of our acquired or allied facilities, utilizing electronic processing of claims to the major insurance payers and eliminating the need to rely on and pay for the services of clearing houses allowing us to maximize profit retention.

Company History

 

Medytox was incorporated in Nevada on July 20, 2005 under the name Casino Players, Inc.  The original business was conducted by a wholly-owned subsidiary, Casino Rated Players, Inc., a Nevada corporation that operated as a casino representative company offering complementary rooms to rated players.

 

During 2010 and 2011, the casino representative business was minimal.  In the first half of 2011, Company management decided to reorganize as a holding company to acquire and manage a number of companies in the medical services sector.  

 

On June 22, 2011, the Company organized Medytox Medical Management Solutions Corp. (“MMMS”), a Florida corporation, as a wholly-owned subsidiary.  MMMS is a marketing company selling laboratory testing services to medical clinics, hospitals and physicians' offices. MMMS operates from the corporate offices in West Palm Beach, Florida.

 

On July 26, 2011, the Company organized Medytox Institute of Laboratory Medicine, Inc. (“MILM”), a Florida corporation, as a wholly-owned subsidiary.  MILM was organized to acquire and manage medical testing laboratories. MILM operates from the corporate offices in West Palm Beach, Florida.

 

On August 22, 2011, MILM entered into a purchase agreement to acquire 81% of Trident Laboratories, Inc. (“Trident”), a privately-owned Florida corporation.  Trident operates a medical testing laboratory specializing in urine testing from a facility in Hollywood, Florida.  MILM acquired 49% ownership in Trident at closing and had the right to acquire an additional 32% for $500,000 to be paid in full by August 22, 2012.  The sellers had an option to sell the remaining 19% ownership in Trident for a certain period.  The sellers requested the purchase agreement be rescinded on January 16, 2012. MILM filed an action seeking to enforce the purchase agreement against Trident and its shareholders, Michelle Steegstra, Christopher Hawley, Donnette Hawley, Michael Falestra and Skyler Lukas (collectively, the "Trident Defendants") for (i) civil conspiracy, (ii) specific performance, (iii) anticipatory breach of contract, (iv) constructive trust, (v) accounting, and (vi) interpleader.  In addition, the Trident Defendants filed a counterclaim and third-party complaint stating causes of action for (i) fraudulent inducement, (ii) civil conspiracy, (iii) tortious interference with business relationships, and (iv) defamation.  On July 2, 2013, a jury awarded MILM, $2,906,844 on its breach of contract claim against the Trident Defendants, and awarded Seamus Lagan $750,000 individually against Christopher Hawley for Mr. Hawley's defamatory postings on the internet.  The jury rejected every claim made against the MILM parties. The Trident Defendants filed motions for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, for a new trial, to dismiss the case, and for remittitur. On September 4, 2013, the judge denied all these motions and entered a partial final judgment in the amounts granted by the jury. MILM’s claims for specific performance remain to be decided by the Court. The Trident Defendants have filed a notice of appeal. One of the Trident Defendants, Donnette Hawley, filed a petition for bankruptcy on October 22, 2013.

 

On August 22, 2011, the Company acquired 100% of Medical Billing Choices, Inc. (“ARC”), a privately-held North Carolina corporation, for $100,000 cash and a $750,000 installment note.  On July 12, 2013, the Company and the two selling shareholders amended the Agreement and the Company paid the balance due of $378,057 under its promissory note and issued an aggregate of 160,000 shares of its restricted common stock to the two selling shareholders. In addition, a loan made by one selling shareholder in the amount of $100,000 was discharged. Now known as ARC Medical Billing, the company operates a medical billing service for a variety of medical providers throughout the southeastern United States from offices in Charlotte, North Carolina.  ARC is the main billing company for the Medytox-owned laboratories and allows Medytox to offer medical billing services to its customers.  

 

On September 16, 2011, the board of directors agreed to change the name of the Company to Medytox Solutions, Inc. and to file for a new trading symbol.  On October 27, 2011, FINRA approved the name change and the new symbol, "MMMS".  

 

On February 16, 2012, Medytox Diagnostics, Inc. (“MDI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement for the purchase of 50.5% of the outstanding membership interests in Collectaway, LLC, a clinical laboratory located in Palm Beach County, Florida.  The name of Collectaway, LLC was changed to PB Laboratories, LLC.

 

On March 9, 2012, the Company formed Medytox Medical Marketing & Sales, Inc., a Florida corporation, as a wholly-owned subsidiary that provides marketing for clinical laboratories that are owned by the Company.

 

On September 10, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase all of the assets and intellectual property rights to the software known as "Medytox Advantage" that it did not already own from Dash Software, LLC for $150,000.

 

23
 

 

On October 12, 2012, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, MDI, acquired the remaining 49.5% ownership in PB Laboratories, LLC that it did not already own. MDI now owns 100% of this laboratory.

 

On December 7, 2012, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, MDI, entered into an agreement to acquire 50.5% ownership in Biohealth Medical Laboratory, Inc., a Miami-based clinical laboratory. The Company immediately initiated an investment program to increase the clinical lab testing capacity of blood and urine specimens at Biohealth Medical Laboratory, Inc.

 

On January 1, 2013, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, MDI, purchased 100% of the stock of Alethea Laboratories, Inc. ("Alethea").  Althea operates a licensed clinical lab in Las Cruces, New Mexico and is an enrolled Medicare provider.

On April 4, 2013, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, MDI, purchased 100% of the membership interests of International Technologies, LLC ("International").  International operates a licensed clinical laboratory in Waldwick, New Jersey and is a licensed Medicare provider.

 

Plan of Operation

 

Medytox is a holding company that owns and operates businesses in the medical services sector. Medytox has invested in a strong sales team, a client services team and proprietary technologies to better serve the needs of a modern-day medical provider.

 

The Company intends to grow from the acquisition and formation of businesses into the expansion of these businesses to provide an extensive range of services to medical providers for improved patient care.

 

We intend to acquire or enter into agreements with laboratories that offer, or can be developed to offer, the most advanced analytical technology for the processing of urine and blood specimens including Immunoassay Analyzers (IA) for screens and GCMS/LCMS for confirmations.  We currently anticipate that the laboratories will be fully-staffed professional COLA-accredited high-complexity laboratories with additional certifications such as the COLA Laboratory of Excellence Award (COLA's Highest Commendation), CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment) and the State of Florida High-Complexity ACHA License.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

 

The Company historically has utilized various credit facilities to fund working capital needs, acquisitions and capital expenditures. Future cash needs for working capital, acquisitions and capital expenditures may require management to seek additional equity or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity could result in additional dilution to the Company's shareholders. A portion of the Company's cash may be used to acquire or invest in complementary businesses or products or to obtain the right to use complementary technologies.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

   

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different future conditions.

 

See Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 16, 2013 and September 3, 2013, respectively.

 

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

  

The disclosure required under this item is not required to be reported by smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

  

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

   

The Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” to mean a company's controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its chief executive and chief financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company maintains such a system of controls and procedures in an effort to ensure that all information which it is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the SEC's rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to chief executive and chief financial officers to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

 

27
 

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of such date.  

 

(b)Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

 

During the course of business, litigation commonly occurs.  From time to time the Company may be a party to litigation matters involving claims against the Company.  The Company operates in a highly regulated industry and employs personnel which may inherently lend itself to legal matters. Management is aware that litigation has associated costs and that results of adverse litigation verdicts could have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. Management, in consultation with legal counsel, has addressed known assertions and predicted unasserted claims below.

 

Legal Matters – Trident Labs

 

On July 2, 2013, a jury awarded our wholly-owned subsidiary, Medytox Institute of Laboratory Medicine, Inc. ("MILM"), $2,906,844 on its breach of contract claim against Trident Laboratories, Inc. ("Trident"), and Trident's shareholders, Michele Steegstra, Christopher Hawley, Donette Hawley, Michael Falestta and Skyler Lukas ("Shareholders"), and awarded Seamus Lagan $750,000 individually against Christopher Hawley for Mr. Hawley's defamatory postings on the internet. The jury rejected every claim made against the MILM parties.

 

The case arose from the August 22, 2011 agreement among MILM and Trident and its Shareholders pursuant to which MILM was to acquire 81% of Trident. On January 17, 2012, Trident notified MILM that it was rescinding the agreement. As a result, MILM filed suit against Trident and its Shareholders in Florida Circuit Court in Broward County. The jury found that Trident and its Shareholders breached the agreement and failed to perform their obligations thereunder.

 

Trident and the Shareholders filed motions for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, for a new trial, to dismiss the case, and for remittitur. On September 4, 2013, the judge denied all these motions and entered a partial final judgment in the amounts granted by the jury. MILM’s claims for specific performance remain to be decided by the Court. Trident and the Shareholders have filed a notice of appeal. One of the Shareholders, Donnette Hawley, filed a petition for bankruptcy on October 22, 2013.

 

Legal Matters - Reginald Samuels

 

On October 21, 2013, Reginald Samuels, a former member and employee of International Technologies, LLC, filed a complaint in the Superior Court of New Jersey (Bergen County) against the Company and Medytox Diagnostics, Inc. alleging breach of contract under his employment agreement and the agreement under which International Technologies, LLC was acquired; unjust enrichment; fraud; intentional and negligent misrepresentation; and breach of an implied duty of good faith and fair dealing and seeking an accounting. The Company believes these claims are without merit.
