PART I.
Item 1. Business
Overview
HealthLynked Corp. (the “Company,” “we,” “our,”) is a healthcare technology company incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 6, 2014. We operate across three primary divisions – Digital Healthcare, Health Services, and Medical Distribution – each dedicated to leveraging innovative solutions that enhance patient care, reduce costs, and generate long-term value for stockholders.
Our key objectives are to:
| 1. | Improve patient care management; |
| 2. | Enhance the operational efficiency of medical practices; and |
| 3. | Utilize healthcare data to gain unique insights into diseases, leading to better health outcomes |
Digital Healthcare Division
Within our Digital Healthcare division, we develop and manage the HealthLynked Network, a robust, cloud-based platform that centralizes personal medical records and streamlines communication between patients and healthcare providers. Our platform integrates software-based decision-support tools (including AI-enabled features), on-demand telemedicine services, and concierge support, delivering a technology-enabled patient experience.
Our AI-enabled features are designed to support patient engagement and care navigation and are not intended to provide medical diagnoses, treatment recommendations, or replace the judgment of licensed healthcare professionals.
Health Services Division
Historically, we operated and managed a range of clinical medical practices, including women’s health services, physical therapy, aesthetic services, primary care, and functional medicine. These clinical operations were established primarily to support the development of our digital healthcare platform by providing real-world environments in which to deploy, test, and refine our products and services, while generating direct patient and provider feedback.
As our technology platform has matured and our strategic focus has shifted toward scalable, technology-enabled solutions, we have intentionally reduced our exposure to direct clinical operations and exited or divested non-core practices. We currently operate a single clinical service focused on functional medicine, which management believes provides sufficient ongoing clinical insight while maintaining a disciplined cost structure.
This transition reflects a broader effort to improve operating leverage, reduce regulatory and overhead burden, and align capital allocation with our long-term strategy of expanding our Digital Healthcare platform. While the Health Services division has historically generated most of our revenue, it is generally subject to higher operating costs, regulatory complexity, and margin constraints than our technology-focused segments. Accordingly, management does not view direct clinical operations as a primary driver of future growth, but rather as a limited, supportive component of our overall business strategy.
1
Medical Distribution Division
Operating under MedOfficeDirect LLC (“MOD”), our Medical Distribution division operates as a virtual distributor of medical supplies to medical professionals and individual consumers across the United States. MOD offers medical products through an online marketplace supported by supplier relationships, group purchasing arrangements, and a direct-to-consumer fulfillment model.
We intend to expand this offering to provide access to a broad catalog of name-brand medical supply products for delivery directly to consumers’ homes and to medical practices. MOD partners with NDC National Distribution and Contracting, based in Nashville, Tennessee, which serves as our primary distribution partner. This distribution model allows us to offer a wide range of products without maintaining inventory, thereby reducing working capital requirements and limiting inventory-related risk, as products are fulfilled following customer purchase.
The Medical Distribution division is designed to generate incremental revenue and support engagement across the HealthLynked platform. While this division complements our Digital Healthcare offerings, we do not currently view Medical Distribution as a primary driver of long-term growth, we and expect future growth to be driven principally by technology-enabled services.
By aligning our Digital Healthcare, Health Services, and Medical Distribution divisions, we seek to operate a complementary healthcare ecosystem that supports patient engagement, operational efficiency, and long-term stockholder value.
Digital Healthcare Division
Our Mission
We strive to transform the healthcare landscape through the efficient and secure exchange of healthcare data using software and technology-enabled tools that support patient engagement and healthcare access. By uniting patients, providers, and personal health data on a secure and accessible platform, we aim to improve care coordination, maintain privacy, and enhance health outcomes. Our long-term vision is to help set a standard for efficient, patient-centric healthcare, delivering sustained growth and value for our stockholders.
The HealthLynked Network
At the core of our Digital Healthcare division is the HealthLynked Network—a cloud-based Patient Information Network (“PIN”) designed to improve the way medical records are shared and managed. By streamlining the flow of health data between patients and their providers, the HealthLynked Network is designed to improve medical practice efficiency, shorten patient wait times, and support more informed clinical decision-making.
The HealthLynked Network comprises our proprietary medical records management platform, enhanced by a suite of applications and services that include ARi (our AI Healthcare Guide), personalized concierge service, nationwide telemedicine, a discount prescription drug program, and Oohvie, our women’s health-focused application.
2
Through interoperability and user-friendly design, the HealthLynked Network is designed to foster coordinated care across specialties and geographies, empowering users to manage and control access to their health data.
Medical Records Management
One of the features of the HealthLynked Network is its ability to provide secure medical records management. By centralizing patient data, we enable efficient sharing among authorized providers and caregivers, allowing immediate, up-to-date access to essential information. Patients can create accounts for dependents, track immunizations, and share medical histories with selected physicians—all while controlling the level and duration of access.
Our system remains electronic medical records, or EMR-agnostic, accommodating both electronic and fax-based transmissions, and leverages unique patient-specific barcodes to organize and archive records automatically. This cross-platform flexibility is designed to lower barriers to adoption and support broader use across provider settings.
Mobile Check-In
To further improve operational efficiency, we offer a mobile check-in system designed to streamline the patient intake process for participating healthcare practices. Using a secure barcode-based workflow, patients can check in for appointments using their mobile devices, update or confirm medical information, create or log in to their HealthLynked account, and pay applicable co-pays electronically. This process is intended to reduce front-office administrative tasks, shorten wait times, and improve overall patient flow.
For participating practices, the mobile check-in system also serves as an integrated patient onboarding mechanism into the HealthLynked Network. Patients who utilize mobile check-in are prompted to create or access a HealthLynked profile as part of the intake process, enabling secure capture and organization of health information without requiring separate enrollment workflows.
Key benefits of the mobile check-in system include:
| 1. | Automated Patient Onboarding: Patients are introduced to and enrolled in the HealthLynked ecosystem as part of the normal check-in process, eliminating the need for participating practices to actively recruit, market, or manually enroll patients into the platform. |
| 2. | Reduced Administrative Burden for Practices: By embedding enrollment, data collection, and record updates into the digital check-in workflow, practices can reduce staff time spent on paperwork, data entry, and follow-up, while maintaining continuity of patient records. |
By embedding patient onboarding directly into routine office visits, the mobile check-in system is designed to support organic growth of the HealthLynked Network while allowing participating practices to benefit from streamlined intake and record management without additional patient acquisition efforts.
ARi AI Healthcare Guide
ARi is an AI-enabled healthcare guidance tool developed in collaboration with OpenAI and made available to paid HealthLynked members through our mobile application. ARi is designed to use patient-provided information in a member’s HealthLynked profile to support patient engagement and care navigation.
3
ARi is intended as a decision-support and engagement tool and is not intended to provide medical diagnoses, treatment recommendations, or replace the judgment of licensed healthcare professionals. ARi may provide general educational information, assist with organizing and summarizing health information, and support scheduling and care navigation based on user inputs.
Key features include:
| ● | Voice-Driven Profile Creation: Patients can create or update health profiles through conversational interaction. |
| ● | Personalized Guidance: Context-aware responses informed by patient-provided profile information. |
| ● | Care Navigation Support: Suggestions for potential next steps such as seeking appropriate provider types or services. |
| ● | Effortless Scheduling: Ability to book in-person or telemedicine appointments via our scheduling application. |
| ● | Proactive Health Tracking: Tools designed to support updates to medical profiles and reminders. |
| ● | 24/7 Intelligent Assistance: Always-available support within the app. |
This AI-enabled functionality is intended to enhance the patient experience and support differentiation of our platform.
Concierge Service
Our premium Concierge Service supports HealthLynked Network members for a monthly fee and is delivered through a combination of technology-enabled tools and live clinical support. The service integrates AI-driven chatbots and digital agents designed to assist members with common healthcare-related tasks—such as appointment requests, record retrieval, and general care navigation—together with access to live nursing professionals when human interaction is appropriate or requested.
Members may use the Concierge Service to schedule appointments nationwide, request and organize medical records, and receive general guidance from licensed nursing staff. AI-enabled agents are increasingly utilized to automate routine interactions, including initiating outbound phone calls to provider offices and assisting with appointment booking on behalf of patients. These digital workflows are intended to improve responsiveness, reduce manual effort, and support scalability of the Concierge Service as membership grows.
Concierge membership also provides enhanced platform features relative to free users, including increased medical record storage capacity, family connectivity that allows management of multiple dependent profiles rather than a single user, and reduced telemedicine visit pricing. Concierge members receive discounted telemedicine visits, currently priced at approximately $50 per visit, compared to standard rates of approximately $70 per visit for non-concierge users. The Concierge Service is currently offered at a subscription price of $12 per month.
The Concierge Service is designed as a patient engagement and care coordination support offering and does not provide medical diagnoses or treatment recommendations. Management believes that the combination of automated digital tools, live clinical support, and enhanced membership features improves operating efficiency, strengthens customer retention, and supports a recurring revenue model aligned with the Company’s long-term growth strategy.
Telemedicine Services
In 2024, we expanded our telemedicine offerings from limited coverage in Florida to 24/7 nationwide access. This expansion enables patients to consult licensed healthcare providers on a remote basis, addressing demand for flexible and timely access to urgent care services. Patients are generally able to connect with a licensed provider within approximately 20 minutes.
Telemedicine visits are priced at approximately $50 per visit for HealthLynked Network members, while non-members pay approximately $70 per visit. This pricing structure is intended to provide an affordable and efficient alternative to in-person appointments, while also encouraging enrollment in the HealthLynked Network.
Discount Prescription Drug Program
Also in 2024, we introduced a discount prescription drug program designed to help reduce out-of-pocket medication costs for HealthLynked Network users. The program provides members and non-members access to savings vouchers and discounted pricing on a range of prescription medications at participating pharmacies.
The discount prescription drug program operates independently of insurance coverage and is intended to supplement, not replace, traditional pharmacy benefit plans. By offering transparent pricing and point-of-sale savings, the program is designed to promote medication affordability and support improved adherence to prescribed treatment regimens.
4
By integrating the discount prescription drug program into the HealthLynked digital ecosystem, users can conveniently access prescription savings alongside other healthcare services, including telemedicine, medical records management, and concierge support. Management believes this integrated approach enhances the overall patient experience, increases platform engagement, and supports user retention without introducing inventory, reimbursement, or insurance-related risk.
Oohvie: An Integrated Women’s Health Solution
Originally launched in 2020 as a women’s health application, Oohvie has evolved as part of the HealthLynked ecosystem and is designed to provide women with a dedicated, lifestyle-focused digital health experience. Upon sign-up, Oohvie users create a HealthLynked account, enabling integration of their activity within the broader HealthLynked platform.
Oohvie provides tools that allow women to track menstrual cycles and related health information in a single, women-specific application. These features are intended to support lifestyle management and personal health planning, including assisting users in understanding cycle patterns for purposes such as pregnancy planning or pregnancy prevention based on individual preferences. The application also offers appointment scheduling capabilities (including telemedicine visits), real-time health forums, and discounted direct-to-consumer purchases of feminine hygiene products.
Users may set reminders related to cycle tracking, birth control, or hormone treatments and may consult live nursing staff for general guidance. Oohvie paid subscribers may also gain access to additional HealthLynked features, further expanding their healthcare resources within the HealthLynked ecosystem.
Strategic Partnerships and Value-Based Care Initiatives
In December 2025, we entered into a strategic advisory and operational consulting agreement with Palm Beach Accountable Care Organization (“PBACO”), an established accountable care organization participating in value-based care initiatives. Under the agreement, PBACO will provide strategic and operational support to HealthLynked in connection with payer-integration initiatives, including the development, structuring, and implementation of proposed pilot programs with health insurers. PBACO’s scope includes advisory support related to value-based contracting strategy, payer engagement, provider workflow integration, and care coordination design utilizing HealthLynked’s platform and technology-enabled tools.
The PBACO agreement does not guarantee the execution of any specific payer contracts or revenue-generating arrangements, and there can be no assurance that proposed pilots or payer relationships will be successfully implemented or will generate material revenues.
Health Services Division
Our Health Services division represents the patient-facing component of our operations and has historically served both as a source of revenue and as a practical environment for evaluating and refining the HealthLynked technology platform. By integrating select clinical operations with our digital tools, we have obtained real-world feedback from patients and providers to inform product development and platform enhancements.
Historically, this division included the operations of (i) Naples Center for Functional Medicine (“NCFM”), a functional medicine practice focused on individualized and integrative healthcare services; (ii) Concierge Care Naples (“CCN”), a primary care practice offering a broad range of medical services; and (iii) Aesthetic Enhancements Unlimited (“AEU”), a practice providing minimally invasive and non-invasive cosmetic services. During 2024, we replaced our former Naples Women’s Center (“NWC”) OB/GYN practice with CCN and relocated the AEU practice to the CCN office location. In May 2025, we consolidated the NCFM, AEU, and CCN practices into the former NWC office. In October 2025, we sold our BTG physical therapy practice in Bonita Springs, Florida, which we had operated since 2019.
As our technology platform has matured, we have reduced the scope of our direct clinical operations and exited non-core practices. We currently operate a clinical service focused on functional medicine and expect to divest our remaining clinical operations over the next 12 months, subject to market conditions and customary regulatory and transactional considerations. Management believes this transition will further reduce operational complexity, regulatory exposure, and overhead, while allowing the Company to focus its resources on expanding its technology-enabled Digital Healthcare platform.
Accordingly, the Health Services division is not expected to be a primary driver of long-term growth, but rather to serve a transitional and supportive role within our broader business strategy as we complete the shift toward a predominantly technology-focused operating model.
Medical Distribution Division
Our Medical Distribution division centers on MedOfficeDirect LLC (“MOD”), which we acquired in October 2020. MOD operates as a virtual distributor of medical supplies, providing products directly to individual consumers and healthcare practices across the United States through an online marketplace.
5
MOD leverages Group Purchasing Organization (“GPO”) pricing and third-party fulfillment relationships to offer a broad selection of brand-name medical supply products across multiple categories. Products are shipped directly to consumers and medical practices following purchase, allowing the Company to operate without maintaining inventory. This asset-light fulfillment model is designed to reduce working capital requirements, limit inventory-related risk, and support scalable growth as order volumes increase.
Through its direct-to-consumer delivery model and online marketplace, accessible at www.medofficedirect.com, MOD provides a convenient and cost-effective channel for users to obtain essential medical supplies. Management believes that this offering complements the HealthLynked platform by delivering additional value to patients and healthcare providers while supporting an efficient, scalable distribution model aligned with the Company’s broader technology-focused strategy.
Our Mission: Transforming Healthcare Through Data, AI, and Connectivity
Our mission is to improve the delivery of healthcare by enabling the secure management and exchange of health information and by leveraging technology-enabled tools to support patient engagement, care navigation, and ongoing access to healthcare services. We seek to connect patients, healthcare providers, and health data through a unified digital platform designed to enhance communication, preserve data privacy, and support informed healthcare decision-making.
A central objective of the HealthLynked platform is to support care management, continuity of care, and care navigation by helping patients remain informed, organized, and engaged with their healthcare needs over time. Through centralized medical records, digital reminders, and engagement tools, the platform is designed to help patients stay current with routine medical care, preventive services, and recommended health screenings, as advised by their healthcare providers.
The HealthLynked platform also provides tools intended to help patients identify and connect with healthcare providers based on factors such as geographic proximity, provider specialty, and insurance network participation. These features are designed to assist patients in locating appropriate care options while helping reduce barriers related to access, coordination, and cost transparency. The platform does not determine medical necessity or make provider selection decisions on behalf of patients.
At the core of our approach is the efficient and interoperable exchange of health information. The HealthLynked platform is designed to provide authorized users with timely access to relevant patient data across providers, facilities, and healthcare systems. By maintaining a centralized, cloud-based repository for comprehensive patient health records, individuals are able to manage and control access to their medical information, while healthcare professionals are better equipped with consolidated data intended to support care coordination and clinical workflows.
Technology-enabled tools, including AI-assisted features within the HealthLynked Network, are intended to support patients in organizing health information, navigating care pathways, and tracking healthcare activities such as appointments and screenings. These tools may assist with reminders, educational content, and care navigation, and are not intended to provide medical diagnoses, treatment recommendations, or replace the judgment of licensed healthcare professionals.
Beyond direct patient engagement, we believe our unified health data ecosystem may serve as a foundation for healthcare research and analytics. With appropriate patient consent and in compliance with applicable privacy and data protection laws, HealthLynked may collaborate with pharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, and medical researchers to utilize aggregated and/or de-identified data to support research initiatives, population health analysis, and insights into healthcare utilization patterns.
By focusing on interoperability, security, and patient-centered care management, HealthLynked aims to support a more connected, efficient, and responsive healthcare ecosystem. Our objective is to enable improved coordination across healthcare stakeholders, encourage proactive patient engagement in routine and preventive care, and build a scalable, technology-driven platform aligned with long-term growth and stockholder value.
The HealthLynked Network - How it Works
Through our Digital Healthcare Division, we operate a cloud-based Patient Information Network (“PIN”) and medical record archiving platform, together with related applications and services, collectively referred to as the HealthLynked Network. The HealthLynked Network is designed to support the secure exchange and organization of healthcare information between patients and healthcare providers, improve administrative efficiency for medical practices, and enhance patient engagement and access to care.
The HealthLynked Network consists of a centralized medical records management system integrated with an ecosystem of digital applications and services intended to support coordinated care and ongoing patient interaction across the healthcare continuum. These offerings include ARi, our AI-assisted healthcare engagement guide; a personalized Concierge Service; on-demand telemedicine services; a discount prescription drug program; and Oohvie, a women-focused health application.
By integrating patient-controlled health records with scheduling, communication, and engagement tools, the HealthLynked Network is designed to help patients manage their healthcare information, navigate available services, and interact more efficiently with providers across multiple care settings.
6
Medical Records Management
The HealthLynked Network is designed to centralize and organize personal and family health information, enabling patients to manage their medical records and securely share information with healthcare providers and authorized third parties. The platform is intended to support care coordination, reduce administrative friction, and improve patient engagement across multiple healthcare settings.
Patients may enter and manage health information through an intuitive interface that includes point-and-click selections and structured data fields for medical history, surgical history, medications, allergies, and family health history. Members may also create and manage profiles for dependents, including children under the age of 18, and track healthcare-related activities such as recommended visits and vaccinations. Patients control access to their records by selecting providers or other authorized parties and may grant access on an ongoing basis or restrict access by date and duration.
Healthcare providers who participate in the HealthLynked Network may access patient-authorized medical information electronically, reducing the need for repetitive intake forms and manual record requests. Providers may upload or transmit updated medical records following patient encounters through multiple methods, including electronic fax, API integrations with select EMR systems, or direct upload through the HealthLynked portal. Each patient profile is associated with a unique identifier that enables documents received by fax or electronic transmission to be automatically recognized, archived, and organized within the patient’s record.
The HealthLynked Network is designed to operate independently of any single EMR or practice management system and may be used with minimal technical requirements, such as a computer or fax machine. This EMR-agnostic approach is intended to lower barriers to adoption for providers, facilitate interoperability, and support continuity of care across diverse healthcare environments.
In addition to serving as a centralized medical record archive, the HealthLynked Network enables patients to verify provider access to their records in advance of appointments and to coordinate care among multiple healthcare providers, including specialists in different geographic locations. Patients may also pre-authorize access to certain medical information for use in emergency situations, allowing authorized healthcare professionals to retrieve critical details, such as medications, allergies, and pre-existing conditions, when patients are unable to provide such information themselves. These features are intended to support timely access to information and informed decision-making by healthcare professionals.
Mobile Check-In: Enhancing Efficiency and Patient Experience
HealthLynked offers a mobile check-in system designed to streamline the patient intake process by allowing patients to check in for appointments using their mobile device and a secure barcode-based workflow. Through this process, patients may update their health information, create or access a HealthLynked account, and submit copay payments electronically, reducing manual intake steps for both patients and healthcare staff.
The mobile check-in process is also designed to facilitate patient onboarding into the HealthLynked Network as part of routine office visits, reducing the need for healthcare practices to separately recruit or enroll patients onto the platform. This approach is intended to support scalable adoption of the HealthLynked ecosystem across participating practices and enterprise deployments.
In addition to supporting patient intake, the mobile check-in system generates operational data intended to provide healthcare practices with insights into patient flow, appointment timing, and front-office activity. For practices seeking enhanced functionality, the Patient Access Hub (“PAH”)—an optional extension of the HealthLynked platform—integrates a provider-specific wireless access point within the office environment. PAH is designed to support secure patient connectivity and to provide aggregated, non-clinical analytics related to practice operations, with the goal of supporting workflow efficiency and patient experience.
ARi AI Healthcare Guide
ARi is an AI-enabled patient engagement and care navigation tool designed to support interaction with the HealthLynked Network and assist users in organizing health-related information and accessing healthcare services. ARi is integrated into the HealthLynked platform and is available to paid members through the HealthLynked mobile application.
ARi leverages large language models (“LLMs”) within a modular AI architecture and is designed to be model-agnostic. While the platform is capable of integrating with multiple LLM providers, it currently utilizes models provided by OpenAI. ARi is designed to incorporate patient-provided information from a user’s HealthLynked profile to deliver contextual, personalized responses intended to support healthcare engagement, care coordination, and navigation of available services. ARi is not intended to provide medical diagnoses or replace professional medical judgment.
7
Key capabilities of ARi include Voice-Driven Profile Creation, Personalized Engagement, Care Navigation Support, Scheduling Assistance, Health Tracking and Reminders, and 24/7 AI-Assisted Interaction.
ARi is designed to operate as an integrated component of the HealthLynked ecosystem, supporting patient engagement, administrative efficiency, and care coordination. While artificial intelligence technologies continue to evolve, management believes ARi enhances the HealthLynked platform by improving accessibility and usability of healthcare services. However, there can be no assurance that ARi will achieve widespread adoption or deliver expected benefits.
Concierge Service
The HealthLynked Network offers a premium Concierge Service designed to support patient engagement and healthcare navigation through a combination of digital tools, artificial intelligence, and human support. Concierge Service is available to paid members for a recurring subscription fee.
Through the Concierge Service, members may receive personalized assistance from HealthLynked representatives to support medical onboarding, appointment scheduling, and medical record organization. Concierge staff may assist members in scheduling appointments with healthcare providers across the United States, including providers who may be outside a member’s insurance network, and in requesting and organizing medical records from third-party sources such as laboratories and healthcare providers to establish and maintain a comprehensive HealthLynked profile.
The Concierge Service also provides access to nursing professionals for general health-related guidance and care coordination support. Concierge interactions are intended to assist members in navigating healthcare services and organizing information and are not intended to replace professional medical advice or clinical decision-making.
Telemedicine Services
HealthLynked expanded its telemedicine services in 2024 from limited regional coverage to 24/7 nationwide availability. Through the HealthLynked platform, patients may request virtual consultations with licensed healthcare providers for non-emergency medical needs, supporting access to remote care options across the United States.
Telemedicine services are delivered by licensed third-party healthcare providers and are integrated with the HealthLynked platform to allow patients to securely access relevant health information during consultations. For HealthLynked Network members, telemedicine visits are available at discounted rates, with pricing currently starting at $50 per visit. Non-members may access telemedicine services at standard rates.
Telemedicine services are intended to provide convenient access to healthcare consultations and do not replace the need for in-person care when clinically appropriate.
Discount Prescription Drug Program
In 2024, HealthLynked introduced a discount prescription drug program designed to help reduce out-of-pocket medication costs for users of the HealthLynked platform. The program provides access to prescription savings vouchers that may be used at participating pharmacies, subject to applicable terms and conditions.
The discount prescription drug program is available to HealthLynked users and is intended to improve affordability and access to commonly prescribed medications. By integrating prescription savings tools into the HealthLynked ecosystem, the program is designed to enhance the overall value proposition for members and support ongoing engagement with healthcare services.
Oohvie
In 2020, we launched Oohvie, a mobile application focused on supporting women’s healthcare engagement. Oohvie is integrated with the HealthLynked platform, and users create or link a HealthLynked account as part of the Oohvie onboarding process. Through this integration, users may schedule in-person appointments and telemedicine visits directly from the Oohvie application.
Oohvie is designed to provide women with digital tools to track and manage aspects of their health, including menstrual cycle tracking to support personal lifestyle planning, reproductive health awareness, and family planning goals. The application is intended to assist users in organizing health-related information and engaging with healthcare services, rather than to diagnose or treat medical conditions.
Oohvie users have access to the following features:
| ● | A women-focused health forum that enables peer discussion in a moderated environment; |
8
| ● | The ability to schedule virtual telemedicine consultations with healthcare providers without leaving the application; |
| ● | A real-time chat feature that allows users to discuss general health topics, including menstrual health and birth control experiences, in a private setting; |
| ● | Access to direct-to-consumer purchases of brand-name feminine hygiene products shipped directly to the user’s home at discounted prices; |
| ● | Tools to schedule reminders related to birth control or hormone therapy adherence; and |
| ● | Access to live nursing support for general health questions and assistance with product ordering, as available. |
Management believes that Oohvie complements the HealthLynked ecosystem by supporting engagement with women’s health services and providing an additional entry point into the broader HealthLynked Network.
Business Model
HealthLynked operates a dual-sided marketplace business model that includes both patients (B2C) and healthcare providers (B2B), each offered through a freemium structure with optional paid upgrades that provide enhanced functionality and services. While revenue is currently generated through patient subscription fees, telemedicine services, and provider onboarding and booking fees, management expects that the Company’s primary long-term revenue opportunity will be driven by enterprise licensing arrangements with insurance carriers and brokers, as well as employers and other healthcare organizations. These enterprise arrangements are intended to provide HealthLynked’s services to covered members on a per-member-per-month basis, with patient and provider fees generally waived for participants within licensed insurance networks. We expect strategic partnerships with insurers, employers, and research organizations to represent the primary source of scalable revenue as the platform is deployed across larger covered populations.

Patients may download the HealthLynked mobile application and create an account at no cost. Free users are provided access to core platform functionality, including basic medical record storage, self-managed profiles, limited appointment scheduling with in-network providers, standard-rate telemedicine visits, and basic digital support features. This freemium model is designed to lower barriers to entry and encourage broad adoption of the HealthLynked platform.
Patients may elect to upgrade to a paid Concierge membership, which is currently priced at $12 per month or $120 per year if prepaid. Concierge membership provides enhanced functionality and services, including:
| ● | Increased medical record storage capacity; |
| ● | Family connectivity, allowing members to manage multiple dependent profiles rather than a single user account; |
| ● | Discounted telemedicine visits, currently priced at approximately $50 per visit, compared to approximately $70 per visit for non-members; |
| ● | Access to Concierge support services, including the ability to interact with licensed nursing staff for general care navigation and assistance; and |
| ● | Appointment booking assistance with healthcare providers nationwide, including providers that may be outside of the HealthLynked in-network directory. |
This subscription-based model is intended to provide predictable recurring revenue while enhancing patient engagement, retention, and platform utilization.
Medical Practices/ Providers
HealthLynked maintains base directory profiles for approximately 880,000 healthcare providers across the United States, enabling patients to search for and discover providers by location, specialty, and other criteria. Providers may participate in the HealthLynked platform through a freemium model with optional paid upgrades.
Providers that do not enroll as in-network participants are listed in the directory with a basic profile and may be discovered by patients, including non-member patients. Providers who elect to become in-network participants gain access to additional functionality by paying a one-time setup fee of $450 and agreeing to allow patients to request appointments through the HealthLynked platform.
9
In-network provider benefits include:
| ● | The ability to update appointment availability and manage scheduling requests online; |
| ● | Visibility as an in-network provider within the HealthLynked directory; |
| ● | The ability to accept appointment requests from both HealthLynked members and non-member patients; and |
| ● | Optional integration with HealthLynked’s digital intake and mobile check-in tools. |
HealthLynked charges in-network providers a booking fee of $15 per completed appointment scheduled through the platform. Providers do not incur recurring subscription fees and only pay booking fees when appointments are successfully scheduled, aligning provider costs with realized patient volume.
By digitizing scheduling and intake workflows, HealthLynked seeks to help participating practices reduce administrative overhead and support compliance with patient access requirements under the 21st Century Cures Act. Patients benefit from the ability to update health information in advance of visits, enabling providers to review more complete medical histories and support continuity of care.
Strategic Partnerships
Beyond individual patients and providers, HealthLynked’s business model is designed to scale through strategic partnerships with insurance companies, insurance brokers, large employers, pharmaceutical companies, and medical research organizations. Management believes these enterprise relationships, if implemented, represent a long-term opportunity to expand deployment of the HealthLynked platform and be a potential primary driver of future revenue growth.
Through these partnerships, HealthLynked may integrate its care management technology, digital engagement tools, and AI-enabled guidance features to support personalized care navigation, patient engagement, and coordination across healthcare services. Insurance carriers and employers may utilize the HealthLynked platform to provide members or employees with access to digital healthcare services, provider discovery tools, and care management functionality intended to support more efficient healthcare utilization.
Under the Company’s insurance and employer partnership model, HealthLynked would license access to its platform and related services on a per-employee-per-month (“PEPM”) or similar basis. Pricing discussions to date have contemplated fees of approximately $2 per covered member per month, under which HealthLynked’s services would be made available to insured members as part of their health plan benefits. Members covered under such arrangements would generally not be required to pay individual subscription fees, and participating providers and patients would access HealthLynked’s services through the licensed insurance network.
HealthLynked’s platform is designed to support large-scale deployment across insured populations, and management is currently in discussions regarding potential rollouts to organizations that may collectively represent millions of covered members nationwide. These discussions are at various stages, and there can be no assurance that they will result in executed agreements or large-scale deployments.
Pharmaceutical companies and medical research organizations may also partner with HealthLynked to leverage aggregated and/or de-identified data, subject to patient consent and applicable privacy laws, to support research initiatives, analyze treatment patterns, and conduct targeted outreach programs.
Strategic partnerships may take the form of licensing agreements, PEPM or PMPM contracts, or co-branded integrations. Along with patient subscription fees and provider booking fees, these enterprise relationships are intended to represent an additional revenue pillar that supports platform adoption and engagement across multiple healthcare touchpoints. While the Company actively pursues enterprise and payer-related opportunities, including value-based care initiatives, we do not currently have material revenue-producing contracts with national insurers, and there can be no assurance that any such arrangements will be executed or will generate material revenues.

Sales Strategy
HealthLynked’s sales strategy is designed to support scalable growth across multiple channels, with an emphasis on enterprise deployment through insurance carriers, while continuing to expand patient and provider participation on the platform. Management believes this multi-channel approach supports broad adoption of the HealthLynked Network while diversifying revenue sources.
Insurance Carriers and Brokers (Primary Growth Driver)
The primary focus of HealthLynked’s growth strategy is direct contracting with insurance carriers and insurance brokers to license the HealthLynked platform and related services on a per-member-per-month basis. These enterprise relationships are intended to enable large-scale deployment of HealthLynked’s care management, provider discovery, and digital engagement tools across insured populations.
Sales efforts in this channel are directed toward demonstrating the platform’s ability to support personalized care management, improve member engagement, assist with provider navigation, and encourage adherence to routine and preventive care. Management believes that by offering a direct-to-consumer digital experience layered on top of existing insurance benefits, insurance partners can provide more efficient care coordination to their members. Under these arrangements, patients and participating providers generally would not be required to pay individual subscription or booking fees, as services are provided through the licensed insurance network.
Patients
In parallel with enterprise efforts, HealthLynked continues to grow its patient user base through a freemium consumer model. Patients may access core functionality at no cost, while paid Concierge memberships provide enhanced services and features. Patient acquisition is supported through digital marketing initiatives, including targeted online advertising, search engine optimization, mobile app distribution, and direct-to-consumer communications that emphasize convenience, affordability, and access to healthcare services.
Revenue from this channel is generated through monthly or annual Concierge membership fees, telemedicine services, and other value-added offerings. Management believes this direct-to-consumer approach supports recurring revenue, increases platform engagement, and complements enterprise deployments by establishing brand awareness and product familiarity.
Healthcare Providers
On the provider side, HealthLynked’s sales strategy focuses on onboarding healthcare professionals to the platform through a freemium directory model with optional paid upgrades. Providers may be listed in the HealthLynked directory at no cost, while those electing to become in-network participants gain access to enhanced scheduling and visibility features.
In-network providers pay a one-time setup fee and a per-booking fee for appointments scheduled through the platform. Sales and outreach efforts emphasize reduced administrative burden, improved patient intake efficiency, and enhanced visibility to patients searching for care. The mobile check-in and digital intake tools are designed to streamline workflows and reduce front-office overhead, supporting provider adoption without requiring long-term subscription commitments.
Other Strategic Partnerships
HealthLynked also pursues strategic partnerships with pharmaceutical companies, medical distributors, healthcare organizations, and research institutions to deliver additional value to patients and members of the HealthLynked Network. These partnerships may include affiliate arrangements, co-branded offerings, data-driven research collaborations using aggregated and de-identified data (subject to consent and applicable laws), and complementary services designed to enhance the patient experience.
Management believes these partnerships can expand awareness of the HealthLynked platform, increase member engagement, and create incremental revenue opportunities that further strengthen the ecosystem.
Integrated Growth Approach
By prioritizing enterprise insurance relationships while maintaining complementary patient and provider growth channels, HealthLynked seeks to build a scalable, diversified sales pipeline. This integrated approach is intended to support long-term growth, increase platform adoption across multiple healthcare stakeholders, and advance the Company’s objective of improving care coordination and access through technology-enabled solutions.

Information Security
We store patient data in conformity with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, and the regulations promulgated under each by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Civil Rights (collectively, “HIPAA”). The network utilizes Amazon AWS infrastructure which uses Amazon HIPPA compliant servers along with Amazon RDS with LAMP, HTML5 and several JavaScript frameworks, including Angular and React. Recommendations for end users are a 512 kbps+ internet connection speed and a web browser such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Safari or handheld devices such as iOS devices, android phones or tablets. Our developers utilize third party controls for functionality and user interface where the use of those controls adds value to the system beyond custom creation of new tools. We intend to adjust forward compatibility for major browser version updates, new browsers, operating system updates or new operating system as needed. The HealthLynked Network is EMR agnostic, and is compatible with all electronic medical records systems, allowing for minimal barriers to participation and broader penetration of the market.
Intellectual Property
HealthLynked’s intellectual property strategy is focused on protecting key components of its digital healthcare platform, including patient access, care management, data interoperability, and AI-enabled engagement. Our intellectual property portfolio currently includes one issued U.S. patent and three pending patent applications, as well as registered service marks.
Issued Patent
On March 7, 2023, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) issued U.S. Patent No. 11,600,395B1, entitled “Secure patient access via healthcare service provider specific wireless access point.” This patent relates to the Company’s Patient Access Hub (“PAH”) technology and covers systems and methods for providing a healthcare service provider-specific wireless access point that facilitates secure communication among patients, healthcare providers, and third-party services. The patent expires in March 2030.
The patented system enables patient devices to connect to a provider-specific access point (such as within a medical office), detect the presence of a patient device, obtain identifying information, and transmit such information to a server. The server may create or update a patient profile associated with the device, incorporating information derived from patient interaction, provider input, or patient-submitted updates. This technology is designed to support secure data exchange, streamlined patient intake, and enhanced data organization within healthcare environments.
Pending Patent Applications
In addition to the issued PAH patent, HealthLynked has filed the following patent applications, each of which remains pending and subject to examination by the USPTO:
| ● | ARI (Augmented Real-time Interface) – In September 2024, we filed a non-provisional patent application covering our AI-enabled healthcare guidance platform. The application relates to systems and methods for AI-assisted patient engagement, care navigation, and interaction using patient-provided data to generate context-aware responses and workflow support. |
| ● | Unique Patient Identifier System – We have filed a provisional patent application covering technology designed to assign and manage unique patient identifiers to facilitate secure record matching, interoperability, and efficient organization of patient data across healthcare providers and systems. |
| ● | AI Agent for Patient Engagement and Appointment Booking – We have filed a provisional patent application covering AI-enabled agent technology designed to automate and assist with patient engagement activities, including outbound and inbound communications, appointment scheduling, care coordination tasks, and related workflow automation. |
There can be no assurance that any pending patent applications will result in issued patents, or that any issued patents will provide commercially meaningful protection.
Trademarks
We have registered “HealthLynked” and our corporate logo as service marks with the USPTO. We may pursue additional trademark, patent, or other intellectual property protections as we continue to develop and expand our platform.
Research and Development
HealthLynked’s research and development efforts are focused on building, enhancing, and scaling the HealthLynked Network and its associated applications and services. Our development initiatives are directed toward improving patient engagement, care management, interoperability, and operational efficiency for healthcare providers, while maintaining compliance with applicable privacy and security requirements.
12
Key areas of research and development include the continued enhancement of our cloud-based platform and mobile applications to support real-time appointment scheduling, telemedicine services, secure document sharing between patients and healthcare providers, and access across mobile, tablet, and web-based devices. We are also developing and refining tools that enable patients to manage personal and family health records, coordinate care, and interact digitally with healthcare services.
A significant component of our development efforts is focused on AI-enabled functionality, including the advancement of ARI (Augmented Real-time Interface), our AI-assisted patient engagement and care navigation platform. Development activities in this area include improving natural language interaction, contextual use of patient-provided data, workflow automation, and AI-supported patient engagement features, including scheduling assistance and care coordination tools.
Additional development initiatives include expanding our secure data storage infrastructure, enhancing patient identity management and record matching capabilities, improving document ingestion and retrieval through barcoding and automation, and developing analytics and alerting features intended to support patient engagement and adherence to recommended care. We are also advancing the functionality of our Patient Access Hub technology to support digital patient intake, mobile check-in, and practice-level operational analytics.
Our research and development efforts are conducted with an emphasis on scalability, interoperability with third-party systems, and data security. We may continue to invest in internal development resources, third-party technology integrations, and intellectual property protection as we expand the HealthLynked Network and pursue additional enterprise and strategic partnership opportunities.
Professional and General Liability Coverage
We maintain directors’ and officers’, professional and general liability insurance policies with third-party insurers generally on a claims-made basis, subject to deductibles, policy aggregates, exclusions, and other restrictions, in accordance with standard industry practice. We believe that our insurance coverage is appropriate based upon our claims experience and the nature and risks of our business. However, no assurance can be given that any pending or future claim against us will not be successful or if successful, will not exceed the limits of available insurance coverage. Our business entails an inherent risk of claims of medical malpractice against our affiliated physicians and us. We contract and pay premiums for professional liability insurance that indemnifies us and our affiliated healthcare professionals generally on a claims-made basis for losses incurred related to medical malpractice litigation. Professional liability coverage is required in order for our physicians to maintain hospital privileges.
Employees
As of March 31, 2026, we had 10 employees, 6 of whom are full-time and 4 of whom are part-time. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We consider our relationship with our employees to be good.
Competition
The markets for HealthLynked’s digital healthcare products and services are highly competitive and characterized by rapidly evolving technology, changing regulatory requirements, and frequent introductions of new products and services. Many of our competitors are more established and have significantly greater financial, technical, operational, and marketing resources, as well as broader brand recognition, than we do.
Digital Healthcare and Patient Engagement
Within our Digital Healthcare division, we compete with a broad range of companies offering patient engagement, appointment scheduling, telemedicine, provider directories, health information management, and digital care navigation services. Competitors include, but are not limited to, ZocDoc, Inc., Teladoc Health, Inc., Doximity, Inc., GoodRx Holdings, Inc., Oscar Health, Inc., Veritone, Inc., and other digital health platforms. In addition, large healthcare technology vendors such as Athenahealth, Inc., Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc., Cerner Corporation, and Epic Systems Corporation provide electronic medical record (“EMR”) and practice management solutions that overlap with certain functional aspects of the HealthLynked Network.
We also face competition from large technology companies, including Amazon, Google, and Apple, which have entered the digital healthcare space through patient health records, telehealth services, wearable technology, and data-driven healthcare initiatives.
HealthLynked differs from many competitors in that we are not an EMR or practice management system and do not seek to replace provider systems. Instead, our platform is designed to operate alongside existing EMRs and practice management software, allowing patient records generated by those systems to be incorporated into a centralized, patient-controlled health profile. This EMR-agnostic approach is intended to reduce adoption barriers for providers and support interoperability across healthcare settings.
13
Care Management, Scheduling, and AI-Enabled Engagement
HealthLynked’s platform integrates provider discovery, appointment scheduling, telemedicine access, mobile check-in, and AI-assisted patient engagement within a single ecosystem. While individual competitors may offer one or more of these services, many operate as standalone solutions. HealthLynked seeks to differentiate through an integrated, patient-centric model designed to support longitudinal care management, preventive care engagement, and ongoing patient interaction across healthcare touchpoints.
Online appointment scheduling platforms such as ZocDoc primarily focus on booking functionality, while telemedicine providers such as Teladoc concentrate on virtual care delivery. HealthLynked is designed to combine these capabilities with centralized health record management, care navigation, and ongoing patient engagement tools to support continuity of care.
AI and Technology Differentiation
HealthLynked believes it has been an early adopter of artificial intelligence technologies within its platform and has integrated AI-enabled functionality as a core component of its digital healthcare ecosystem. The Company utilizes OpenAI technology as a foundational element of its AI infrastructure and continues to evolve its platform as new AI model versions and capabilities are introduced. Management believes this approach enables HealthLynked to rapidly iterate, improve patient engagement tools, and expand care management functionality as artificial intelligence technologies continue to advance.
The application of artificial intelligence in healthcare remains an emerging and rapidly evolving area, with ongoing developments in technology, regulation, and competitive dynamics. Management believes this environment presents an opportunity for HealthLynked to meaningfully participate in the transformation of healthcare delivery and care management by combining AI-enabled engagement tools with patient-controlled health data, provider connectivity, and scalable enterprise deployment. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in establishing or maintaining a leadership position in this area.
Insurance and Enterprise Healthcare Solutions
In the enterprise healthcare market, we compete with healthcare technology vendors, care management platforms, digital navigation providers, and consulting firms that offer solutions to insurance carriers, employers, and healthcare organizations. Many of these competitors have established relationships with large payors and employers and may offer broader or more mature service portfolios.
HealthLynked seeks to compete in this segment by offering a direct-to-consumer digital care experience layered onto existing insurance benefits, with a focus on patient engagement, provider navigation, and technology-enabled care management. Our platform is designed to be deployed at scale across insured populations, typically without requiring patients or participating providers to pay individual subscription or booking fees when services are offered through licensed insurance networks.
Competitive Position
Competition across our markets is significant and expected to intensify. Management believes HealthLynked’s EMR-agnostic architecture, integrated patient engagement and care management model, AI-enabled tools, and ability to serve patients, providers, and enterprise partners through a single platform may provide competitive differentiation. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against existing or future competitors, particularly those with greater resources, broader distribution, or established market positions.
Health Services Division
Competition in our Health Services division has historically included women’s health practices, functional medicine clinics, physical therapy providers, aesthetic service providers, and primary care practices within local markets, primarily in southwest Florida. As the Company continues to reduce and expects to divest its remaining clinical operations, this division is becoming a less significant component of our overall competitive landscape.
Medical Distribution Division
In our Medical Distribution division, we compete indirectly with large national medical supply distributors such as McKesson Corporation and Medline Industries, Inc., as well as smaller distributors such as Henry Schein, Inc. These competitors generally operate inventory-intensive distribution models focused on bulk sales to healthcare providers.
MedOfficeDirect seeks to differentiate by utilizing an asset-light, direct-to-consumer and direct-to-practice distribution model that leverages third-party fulfillment and Group Purchasing Organization pricing. This approach is designed to reduce inventory risk, support scalability, and provide competitive pricing while serving both individual consumers and healthcare professionals.
14
Government Regulation
The healthcare industry is subject to extensive federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing, among other things, healthcare operations, data privacy, reimbursement, fraud and abuse, and professional licensure. Compliance with these laws is complex and subject to ongoing interpretation and change. Failure to comply with applicable healthcare laws or regulations could result in civil, criminal, or administrative penalties, including fines, exclusion from government healthcare programs, and reputational harm, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Healthcare reform initiatives and changes in government policy may further impact healthcare delivery models, reimbursement practices, regulatory requirements, and operational costs. We cannot predict the impact of future legislative or regulatory developments on our business.
Healthcare Reform
Federal and state healthcare reform initiatives, including those arising under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“ACA”) and related legislation, have significantly altered the healthcare landscape and continue to evolve. These reforms affect, among other things, insurance coverage, reimbursement mechanisms, and regulatory oversight of healthcare services. Ongoing legal, regulatory, and policy changes related to healthcare reform may increase compliance costs, restrict operations, or otherwise adversely affect our business. Due to the uncertainty surrounding future healthcare reform efforts, we cannot predict their ultimate impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
Licensing and Certification
To the extent we operate clinical healthcare services, our physicians and clinical personnel are subject to federal, state, and local licensing, credentialing, and certification requirements, including those related to professional conduct and prescribing controlled substances. Our facilities may also be subject to licensing and regulatory approvals. Our ability to operate these services depends on maintaining required licenses, certifications, and approvals. As we continue to reduce and expect to divest our remaining clinical operations, our exposure to these requirements is expected to decrease; however, while such operations remain, non-compliance could materially adversely affect our business.
Fraud and Abuse Laws
We are subject to numerous federal and state fraud and abuse laws applicable to healthcare companies, including the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, the physician self-referral law (Stark Law), the False Claims Act (“FCA”), and similar state laws. These laws prohibit, among other things, improper financial relationships, the submission of false or fraudulent claims for reimbursement, and improper inducements related to healthcare services reimbursed by government programs.
These laws are broadly worded, subject to evolving interpretation, and aggressively enforced. Violations may result in substantial civil or criminal penalties, exclusion from government healthcare programs, and other sanctions. Although we intend to operate in compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws, there can be no assurance that our business practices will not be subject to governmental scrutiny or that we will not be found in violation of these laws, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
False or Fraudulent Claims; Medical Billing and Coding
Healthcare billing, coding, and reimbursement activities are subject to extensive federal and state laws and regulations, including the federal False Claims Act (“FCA”), the Civil Monetary Penalties Law, the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, and similar state laws. To the extent we provide or support billing, coding, claims processing, or related services, we may be subject to compliance obligations under these laws or contractually required to comply with them.
The FCA prohibits the submission of false or fraudulent claims for payment to government healthcare programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, and may be enforced by the government or through private whistleblower actions. Violations may result in substantial civil penalties, treble damages, exclusion from government healthcare programs, and other sanctions. Although we rely on third parties and customers to provide accurate information and to use our solutions appropriately, failures by such parties or by us to comply with applicable requirements could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Government Reimbursement Requirements
Participation in Medicare, Medicaid, and other government healthcare programs is subject to complex enrollment, reimbursement, and compliance requirements that vary by jurisdiction and are subject to change. Government healthcare programs are also subject to statutory and regulatory modifications, funding limitations, and reimbursement rate adjustments, which may affect payment amounts, timing, and coverage for certain services.
To the extent we are exposed to reimbursement-related risks through our operations or services, reductions in reimbursement rates, changes in program eligibility, or increased compliance requirements could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
15
HIPAA and Other Privacy Laws
We are subject to numerous federal and state laws governing the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of personal health information, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH”). These laws impose requirements related to data privacy, security safeguards, breach notification, and permitted uses and disclosures of protected health information.
Violations of applicable privacy or data security laws may result in civil and criminal penalties, regulatory enforcement actions, contractual liability, and reputational harm. In addition to HIPAA and HITECH, various state privacy and data protection laws may impose more stringent requirements or provide private rights of action. Compliance with these laws is complex and evolving, and any failure to maintain appropriate safeguards or comply with applicable requirements could materially adversely affect our business.
Data Protection and Breaches
We are subject to federal and state laws governing the protection of personal and health information, including data security and breach notification requirements. These laws generally require covered entities and business associates to maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards and to provide notice to affected individuals and regulators in the event of certain data breaches.
HIPAA and related regulations impose additional requirements regarding the protection and reporting of unauthorized uses or disclosures of protected health information. In addition, federal and state authorities, including the Federal Trade Commission, may initiate enforcement actions in response to data security incidents.
Compliance with these requirements is complex and may vary by jurisdiction. A failure to adequately protect personal or health information, or to comply with applicable notification requirements, could result in regulatory enforcement actions, litigation, reputational harm, and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Compliance Programs
We maintain a compliance program designed to monitor and promote compliance with applicable federal and state healthcare laws and regulations, including those related to fraud and abuse, billing and coding, and data privacy. Compliance programs are generally expected for healthcare-related operations and entities that interact with government healthcare programs.
While we believe our compliance program is appropriate for our operations, compliance requirements are complex and evolving, and there can be no assurance that our policies, procedures, and controls will prevent all violations. Any failure to maintain effective compliance could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Environmental Regulations
To the extent we operate healthcare facilities, our operations may generate medical waste subject to federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations. We do not believe that compliance with applicable environmental requirements has had, or is expected to have, a material effect on our capital expenditures, financial position, or results of operations.
Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
To the extent we or third parties acting on our behalf engage in debt collection activities, such activities may be subject to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and comparable state laws. These laws regulate communications with consumers and impose restrictions on collection practices.
Failure to comply with applicable debt collection laws could result in regulatory enforcement actions, litigation, and reputational harm, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Government Investigations
We may be subject to audits, inquiries, or investigations by government authorities, regulators, payors, or contractors in the ordinary course of business. The outcome of any such matters, individually or in the aggregate, could result in fines, penalties, operational restrictions, or other adverse consequences and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the trading price of our common stock.
16
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are not party, and our property is not the subject of, any material legal proceedings.
Available Information
The Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports are available free of charge through the “Investors” section of the Company’s website, www.healthlynked.com, as soon as reasonably practical after they are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The SEC maintains a website, www.sec.gov, which contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information filed electronically with the SEC by the Company.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to those set forth below. This discussion should be considered in conjunction with the discussion under the caption “Forward-Looking Statements” preceding Part I, the information set forth under Item 1, “Business” and with the discussion of the business included in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” These risks comprise the material risks of which we are aware. If any of the events or developments described below or elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, or in any documents that we subsequently file publicly were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. These disclosures reflect the Company’s beliefs and opinions as to factors that could materially and adversely affect the Company and its securities in the future. References to past events are provided by way of example only and are not intended to be a complete listing or a representation as to whether or not such factors have occurred in the past or their likelihood of occurring in the future.
FINANCIAL AND GENERAL BUSINESS RISKS
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and a failure to obtain financing could prevent us from executing our business plan or operate as a going concern.
As December 31, 2025, we had cash of $37,136, a working capital deficit of $5,461,724 and an accumulated deficit of $50,539,218. Based on our current business plan, management believes that our available cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months from the issuance of the financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K without generating sufficient cash flows from operations and by raising additional capital from outside sources. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, our current operating plan is based on current assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect.
The Company believes it will require additional financing during the first half of 2026. There can be no assurance that any financing by us can be realized, or if realized, what the terms of any such financing may be, or that any amount that we are able to raise will be adequate. A failure to obtain additional financing could prevent us from making necessary expenditures for advancement and growth to partner with businesses and hire additional personnel. If we raise additional financing by selling equity, or convertible debt securities, the relative equity ownership of our existing investors could be diluted, or the new investors could obtain terms more favorable than previous investors. If we raise additional funds through debt financing, we could incur significant borrowing costs and be subject to adverse consequences in the event of a default.
These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 are issued. Our ability to fund working capital, make capital expenditures, and service our debt depends on our ability to generate cash from operating activities, which is subject to its future operating success, and obtain financing on reasonable terms, which is subject to factors beyond our control, including general economic, political, and financial market conditions. The capital markets have in the past experienced, are currently experiencing, and may in the future experience, periods of upheaval that could impact the availability and cost of financing and there can be no assurances that such financing will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms, or at all. The Company’s plans to alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt include raising additional capital, delaying certain capital expenditures and eliminating certain future operating expenses in order to fund operations at reduced levels for us to continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months from the date these financial statements are issued.
17
Our substantial indebtedness, including convertible related-party debt, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We have a significant amount of outstanding debt. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow or obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, we may not be able to meet our obligations under our outstanding debt instruments. Failure to comply with the covenants in our debt agreements could result in events of default, which, if not cured or waived, could lead to acceleration of the indebtedness and potentially foreclosure on the assets securing such debt. In such circumstances, we may be forced to seek additional financing, restructure our existing debt, or take other actions that may not be successful and could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
A substantial amount of our debt is convertible debt to a related party, Dr, Michael Dent, which creates risks beyond those typically associated with third-party financing. The terms of this debt, including its conversion features, may result in significant dilution to our existing stockholders if the related party elects to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal or accrued interest into shares of our common stock. In addition, the presence of related-party debt introduces potential conflicts of interest. The related party may have interests that differ from—or conflict with—those of our other stockholders, including with respect to decisions involving refinancing, amendments to debt terms, exercise of conversion rights, or enforcement of remedies in the event of default. Negotiations with the related party may not reflect arm’s-length terms, and other investors or financing sources may perceive the related-party arrangement as less favorable, which could impair our ability to raise capital on competitive terms.
Our future success depends on our ability to execute our business plan by fully developing the HealthLynked Network and recruiting physicians and patients to adopt and use the system. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to successfully implement our business plan.
Our operations to date have been limited to providing patient services at our NCFM, BTG, AEU, CCN and NWC facilities and generating product revenue from our Medical Distribution segment. During 2024, we replaced our NWC Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN) practice with CCN and relocated our AEU practice to the CCN office location. During May 2025, we consolidated the NCFM, AEU and CCN practices into the former NWC office. In October 2025, we sold the BTG practice. We continually develop additional functionality of the HealthLynked Network. However, we cannot predict the scale of how many physicians and patients will adopt our technology, or if and when they do, the timing of such large-scale adoption. We have not yet demonstrated our ability to successfully market and generate material revenue from the HealthLynked Network or from the sale of medical products from our Medical Distribution business. We have not entered into any agreements with third party doctors or patients to use our system for their medical records and there is no assurance that we will be able to enter into such agreements in the future. Further, it is possible that other competitors with greater resources could enter the market and make it more difficult for us to attract or keep customers. As our technology platform has matured, we have reduced the scope of our direct clinical operations and exited non-core practices and we expect to divest our remaining clinical operations over the next 12 months, subject to market conditions and customary regulatory and transactional considerations. If we divest of our clinical operations, we would have limited revenue in the absence of our ability to generate significant revenue from the HealthLynked Network or our Medical Distribution business.
Failure to remediate a material weakness in internal accounting controls could result in material misstatements in our financial statements.
Our management has identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and has concluded that, due to such material weakness, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025. If not remediated, our failure to establish and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could result in material misstatements in our financial statements and a failure to meet our reporting and financial obligations, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the trading price of our common stock.
We may not be able to effectively control and manage our growth.
Our strategy envisions a period of potentially rapid growth in our physician network over the next five years based on aggressively increasing our marketing efforts. We currently maintain a small in-house programming, IT, administrative, marketing and sales function. The capacity to service the online medical records platform and our potential growth, including growth via acquisition, may impose a significant burden on our future planned administrative and operational resources. The growth of our business, if it occurs, may require significant investments of capital and increased demands on our management, workforce and facilities. We will be required to substantially expand our administrative and operational resources and attract, train, manage and retain qualified employees, management and other personnel. Failure to do so, or to satisfy such increased demands would interrupt or have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

The departure or loss of Dr. Michael Dent could disrupt our business.
We depend heavily on the continued efforts of Dr. Michael Dent, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. Dr. Dent is essential to our strategic vision and day-to-day operations and would be difficult to replace. While we have entered into a written employment contract with Dr. Dent, we cannot be certain that Dr. Dent will continue with us for any particular period of time. The departure or loss of Dr. Dent, or the inability to hire and retain a qualified replacement, could negatively impact our ability to manage our business.
Our sales strategy may not be successful.
In the past, we have used a sales model that focuses on telesales and internet-based SEM/SEO sales and marketing efforts in lieu of a direct sales force, in large part to reduce our costs. Due to the limited success of this sales model, management recently pivoted to a B2B/strategic partnership SAAS focused sales model. Management believes this alternative sales model best positions the Company to commercialize and monetize the HealthLynked Network and MOD businesses. There is no assurance that our sales model will be effective, and failure of this new sale model could have a negative effect on our ability to commercialize and monetize the HealthLynked Network and MOD businesses or limit their growth.
Key components of our product sales made through MOD are provided by a sole supplier, and supply shortages or loss of this supplier could result in interruptions in supply or increased costs.
We rely on a sole supplier for the fulfillment of nearly all product sales made through MOD. If this sole supplier is unable to supply to us in the quantities we require, or at all, or otherwise defaults on its supply obligations to us, we may not be able to obtain alternative supplies from other suppliers on acceptable terms, in a timely manner, or at all.
The healthcare industry is highly regulated, and government authorities may determine that we have failed to comply with applicable laws, rules, or regulations.
The healthcare industry, healthcare information technology, the online medical records platform services that we provide, and the physicians’ medical practices we engage in through our Health Services segment are subject to extensive and complex federal, state, and local laws, rules and regulations, compliance with which imposes substantial costs on us. Of particular importance are the provisions summarized as follows:
| ● | federal laws (including the Federal False Claims Act) that prohibit entities and individuals from knowingly or recklessly making claims to Medicaid, Medicare and other government-funded programs that contain false or fraudulent information or from improperly retaining known overpayments; |
| ● | a provision of the Social Security Act, commonly referred to as the “anti-kickback” statute, that prohibits the knowing and willful offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of any bribe, kickback, rebate or other remuneration, in cash or in kind, in return for the referral or recommendation of patients for items and services covered, in whole or in part, by federal healthcare programs, such as Medicaid and Medicare; |
| ● | a provision of the Social Security Act, commonly referred to as the Stark Law, that, subject to limited exceptions, applies when physicians refer Medicare patients to an entity for the provision of certain “designated health services” if the physician or a member of such physician’s immediate family has a direct or indirect financial relationship (including a compensation arrangement) with the entity; | |
| ● | similar state law provisions pertaining to anti-kickback, fee splitting, self-referral and false claims issues, which typically are not limited to relationships involving government-funded programs; |
| ● | provisions of the Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended (“HIPAA”) that prohibit knowingly and willfully executing a scheme or artifice to defraud a healthcare benefit program or falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any material false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services; |
| ● | state laws that prohibit general business corporations from practicing medicine, controlling physicians’ medical decisions or engaging in certain practices, such as splitting fees with physicians; |
| ● | federal and state healthcare programs may deny our application to become a participating provider that could in turn cause us to be unable to treat those patients or prohibit us from billing for the treatment services provided to such patients; |
| ● | federal and state laws that prohibit providers from billing and receiving payment from Medicaid or Medicare for services unless the services are medically necessary, adequately and accurately documented and billed using codes that accurately reflect the type and level of services rendered; |
| ● | federal and state laws pertaining to the provision of services by non-physician practitioners, such as advanced nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other clinical professionals, physician supervision of such services and reimbursement requirements that may be dependent on the manner in which the services are provided and documented; and |
19
| ● | federal laws that impose civil administrative sanctions for, among other violations, inappropriate billing of services to federally funded healthcare programs, inappropriately reducing hospital care lengths of stay for such patients, or employing individuals who are excluded from participation in federally funded healthcare programs. |
In addition, we believe that our business, including the business conducted through our Health Services segment, will continue to be subject to increasing regulation, the scope and effect of which we cannot predict.
We may in the future become the subject of regulatory or other investigations or proceedings, and our interpretations of applicable laws, rules and regulations may be challenged. For example, regulatory authorities or other parties may assert that arrangements with physicians using the HealthLynked Network, none of which are currently in place, constitute fee splitting and seek to invalidate these arrangements, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the trading price of our common stock. Regulatory authorities or other parties also could assert that our relationships violate the anti-kickback, fee splitting or self-referral laws and regulations. Such investigations, proceedings and challenges could result in substantial defense costs to us and a diversion of management’s time and attention. In addition, violations of these laws are punishable by monetary fines, civil and criminal penalties, exclusion from participation in government-sponsored healthcare programs, and forfeiture of amounts collected in violation of such laws and regulations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our overall business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the trading price of our common stock.
Furthermore, changes in these laws and regulations, or administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, may require us to change our business practices which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Because of the complex and far-reaching nature of these laws, there can be no assurance that we would not be required to alter one or more of our practices to be in compliance with these laws.
We rely on Amazon Web Services, or AWS, for the vast majority of our computing, storage, bandwidth, and other services. Any disruption of or interference with our use of the platform would negatively affect our operations and seriously harm our business.
Amazon provides distributed computing infrastructure platforms for business operations, or what is commonly referred to as a “cloud” computing service. We currently run the vast majority of our computing on AWS, have built our software and computer systems to use computing, storage capabilities, bandwidth, and other services on AWS, and our systems are not fully redundant on the platform. Any transition of the cloud services currently provided by AWS to another cloud provider would be difficult to implement and would cause us to incur significant time and expense. Given this, any significant disruption of or interference with our use of AWS would negatively impact our operations and our business would be seriously harmed. If our users or partners are not able to access the HealthLynked Network or specific HealthLynked features, or encounter difficulties in doing so, due to issues or disruptions with AWS, we may lose users, partners, or revenue. The level of service provided by AWS or similar providers may also impact our users’ and partners’ usage of and satisfaction with our web-based product offerings and could seriously harm our business and reputation. If AWS or similar providers experience interruptions in service regularly or for a prolonged basis, or other similar issues, our business would be seriously harmed. Hosting costs also have and will continue to increase as our user base and user engagement grows and may seriously harm our business if we are unable to grow our revenues faster than the cost of utilizing the services of AWS or similar providers.
Federal and state laws that protect the privacy and security of protected health information may increase our costs and limit our ability to collect and use that information and subject us to penalties if we are unable to fully comply with such laws.
Numerous federal and state laws and regulations govern the collection, dissemination, use, security and confidentiality of individually identifiable health information. These laws include:
| ● | Provisions of HIPAA that limit how healthcare providers may use and disclose individually identifiable health information, provide certain rights to individuals with respect to that information and impose certain security requirements; |
| ● | The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH”), which strengthens and expands the HIPAA Privacy Standards and Security Standards and imposes data breach notification obligations; |
| ● | Other federal and state laws restricting the use and protecting the privacy and security of protected health information, many of which are not preempted by HIPAA; |
| ● | Federal and state consumer protection laws; and |
| ● | Federal and state laws regulating the conduct of research with human subjects. |
20
Through the HealthLynked Network, we collect and maintain protected health information in paper and electronic format. New protected health information standards, whether implemented pursuant to HIPAA, HITECH, congressional action or otherwise, could have a significant effect on the manner in which we handle healthcare-related data and communicate with third parties, and compliance with these standards could impose significant costs on us, or limit our ability to offer certain services, thereby negatively impacting the business opportunities available to us.
In addition, if we do not comply with existing or new laws and regulations related to protected health information, we could be subject to remedies that include monetary fines, civil or administrative penalties, civil damage awards or criminal sanctions.
RISKS RELATED TO THE HEALTHLYNKED NETWORK
The market for Internet-based personal medical information and record archiving systems may not develop substantially further or develop more slowly than we expect, harming the growth of our business.
It is uncertain whether personal medical information and record archiving systems will achieve and sustain the high levels of demand and market acceptance we anticipate. Further, even though we expect patients and physicians within our own Health Services segment to use the HealthLynked Network, our success will depend, to a substantial extent, on the willingness of unaffiliated patients, physicians and hospitals to use our services. Some patients, physicians and hospitals may be reluctant or unwilling to use our services, because they may have concerns regarding the risks associated with the security and reliability, among other things, of the technology model associated with these services. If our target users do not believe our systems are secure and reliable, then the market for these services may not expand as much or develop as quickly as we expect, either of which would significantly adversely affect our business, financial condition, or operating results.
If we do not continue to innovate and provide services that are useful to our target users, we may not remain competitive, and our revenues and operating results could suffer.
Our success depends on our ability to keep pace with technological developments, satisfy increasingly sophisticated client requirements, and obtain market acceptance. Our competitors are constantly developing products and services that may become more efficient or appealing to our clients and users. As a result, we will be required to invest significant resources in research and development in order to enhance our existing services and introduce new high-quality services that clients and users will want, while offering these services at competitive prices.
If we are unable to predict user preferences or industry changes, or if we are unable to modify our services on a timely or cost-effective basis, we may lose clients and target users. Our operating results would also suffer if our innovations are not responsive to the needs of our clients and users, are not appropriately timed with market opportunity, or are not effectively brought to market. As technology continues to develop, our competitors may be able to offer results that are, or that are perceived to be, substantially similar to or better than those generated by our services. This may force us to compete on additional service attributes and to expend significant resources in order to remain competitive.
We may be unable to adequately protect, and we may incur significant costs in enforcing, our intellectual property and other proprietary rights.
Our success depends in part on our ability to enforce our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. We expect to rely upon a combination of copyright, trademark, trade secret, and unfair competition laws, as well as license and access agreements and other contractual provisions, to protect these rights.
Our attempts to protect our intellectual property through copyright, patent, and trademark registration may be challenged by others or invalidated through administrative process or litigation. While we have been granted a patent for our Patient Access Hub, or PAH, have submitted a patent related to our ARi AI tool, and intend to submit other patent applications covering our integrated technology, the scope of issued patents, if any, may be insufficient to prevent competitors from providing products and services similar to ours, our patents may be successfully challenged, and we may not be able to obtain additional meaningful patent protection in the future. There can be no assurance that our patent registration efforts will be successful.
We will seek to enter into agreements with clients, users, vendors and strategic partners that will limit their use of, and allow us to retain our rights in, our intellectual property and proprietary information. Further, if we succeed in entering into such agreements, we anticipate that the agreements will grant us ownership of intellectual property created in the performance of those agreements to the extent that it relates to the provision of our services. In addition, we require certain of our employees and consultants to enter into confidentiality, non-competition, and assignment of inventions agreements. We also require certain of our vendors and strategic partners to agree to contract provisions regarding confidentiality and non-competition. However, no assurance can be given that these agreements will not be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach. Further, no assurance can be given that these agreements will be effective in preventing the unauthorized access to, or use of, our proprietary information or the reverse engineering of our technology. Agreement terms that address non-competition are difficult to enforce in many jurisdictions and may not be enforceable in any particular case. In any event, these agreements do not prevent our competitors from independently developing technology or authoring clinical information that is substantially equivalent or superior to our technology or the information we distribute.
21
To the extent that our intellectual property and other proprietary rights are not adequately protected, third parties might gain access to our proprietary information, develop and market products or services similar to ours, or use trademarks similar to ours, each of which could materially harm our business. Existing U.S. federal and state intellectual property laws offer only limited protection. In addition, if we resort to legal proceedings to enforce our intellectual property rights or to determine the validity and scope of the intellectual property or other proprietary rights of others, the proceedings could be burdensome and expensive, even if we were to prevail. Any litigation that may be necessary in the future could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, or financial condition.
In addition, our platforms incorporate “open source” software components that are licensed to us under various public domain licenses. While we believe that we have complied with our obligations under the various applicable licenses for open source software that we use, open source license terms are often ambiguous, and there is little or no legal precedent governing the interpretation of many of the terms of certain of these licenses. Therefore, the potential impact of such terms on our business is unknown. For example, some open source licenses require that those using the associated code disclose modifications made to that code and such modifications be licensed to third parties at no cost. We monitor our use of open source software in an effort to avoid uses in a manner that would require us to disclose or grant licenses under our proprietary source code. However, there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful, and such use could inadvertently occur.
We may be sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights.
The software and internet industries are characterized by the existence of a large number of patents, trademarks, and copyrights and by frequent litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. We may receive in the future communications from third parties claiming that we, our technology, or components thereof, infringe on the intellectual property rights of others. We may not be able to withstand such third-party claims against our technology, and we could lose the right to use third-party technologies that are the subject of such claims. Any intellectual property claims, whether with or without merit, could be time-consuming and expensive to resolve, divert management attention from executing our business plan, and require us to pay monetary damages or enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Although we intend that many of our third-party service providers will be obligated to indemnify us if their products infringe the rights of others, such indemnification may not be effective or adequate to protect us or the indemnifying party may be unable to uphold its contractual obligations.
Moreover, any settlement or adverse judgment resulting from such a claim could require us to pay substantial amounts of money or obtain a license to continue to use the technology or information that is the subject of the claim, or otherwise restrict or prohibit our use of the technology or information. There can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain a license on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, from third parties asserting an infringement claim; that we would be able to develop alternative technology on a timely basis, if at all; that we would be able to obtain a license to use a suitable alternative technology or information to permit us to continue offering, and our clients to continue using, our affected services; or that we would not need to change our product and design plans, which could require us to redesign affected products or services or delay new offerings. Accordingly, an adverse determination could prevent us from implementing our strategy or offering our services and products, as currently contemplated.
We may not be able to properly safeguard the information on the HealthLynked Network.
Information security risks have generally increased in recent years because of new technologies and the increased activities of perpetrators of cyber-attacks resulting in the theft of protected health, business or financial information. A failure in, or a breach of our information systems as a result of cyber-attacks could disrupt our business, result in the release or misuse of confidential or proprietary information, damage our reputation, and increase our administrative expenses. Further, any such breaches could result in exposure to liability under U.S. federal and state laws and could adversely impact our business. Although we have robust information security procedures and other safeguards in place, as cyber threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend additional resources to continue to enhance our information security measures or to investigate and remediate any information security vulnerabilities. Any of these disruptions or breaches of security could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our employees may not take all appropriate measures to secure and protect confidential information in their possession.
Each of our employees is advised that they are responsible for the security of the information in our systems and to ensure that private information is kept confidential. Should an employee not follow appropriate security measures, including those that have been put in place to prevent cyber threats or attacks, the improper release of protected health information could result. The release of such information could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
22
RISKS RELATED TO THE PROVISION OF MEDICAL SERVICES
We may not be able to successfully recruit and retain qualified physicians, who are key to our Health Services segment’s revenues and billing.
We have experienced substantial turnover of physicians at our Health Service Division facilities. Our ability to operate profitably will depend, in part, upon our ability to recruit and retain qualified physicians, who are key to our Health Services segment’s revenues and billing. We compete with many types of healthcare providers, including teaching, research and government institutions, hospitals and health systems and other practice groups, for the services of qualified doctors, nurses, physical therapists and other skilled healthcare providers essential to our Health Services segment. We may not be able to continue to recruit new, qualified providers or renew contracts with existing providers on acceptable terms. If we do not do so, our ability to execute our business plan may be adversely affected.
We may be subject to medical malpractice and other lawsuits not covered by insurance.
Our business entails an inherent risk of claims of medical malpractice against our affiliated physicians and us. We may also be subject to other lawsuits which may involve large claims and significant defense costs. Although we currently maintain liability insurance coverage intended to cover professional liability and other claims, there can be no assurance that our insurance coverage will be adequate to cover liabilities arising out of claims asserted against us. Liabilities in excess of our insurance coverage, including coverage for professional liability and other claims, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the trading price of our common stock. See “Professional and General Liability Coverage.”
Certain federal and state laws may limit our effectiveness at collecting monies owed to us from patients.
We utilize third parties to collect from patients any co-payments and other payments for services that are provided by our physicians. The Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act restricts the methods that third-party collection companies may use to contact and seek payment from consumer debtors regarding past due accounts. State laws vary with respect to debt collection practices, although most state requirements are similar to those under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. The Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act is broader than the federal legislation, applying the regulations to “creditors” as well as “collectors,” whereas the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act is applicable only to collectors. This prohibits creditors who are attempting to collect their own debts from engaging in behavior prohibited by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act. The Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act has very specific guidelines regarding which actions debt collectors and creditors may engage in to collect unpaid debt. If our collection practices or those of our collection agencies are inconsistent with these standards, we may be subject to actual damages and penalties. These factors and events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may not be able to maintain effective and efficient information systems.
The profitability of our business is dependent on uninterrupted performance of our information systems. Failure to maintain reliable information systems, disruptions in our existing information systems or the implementation of new systems could cause disruptions in our business operations, including errors and delays in billings and collections, disputes with patients and payors, violations of patient privacy and confidentiality requirements and other regulatory requirements, increased administrative expenses and other adverse consequences.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR ORGANIZATION
Our articles of incorporation authorize our Board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock.
Our Board has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board also has the authority to issue preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of our common stock. In addition, our Board could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stock or that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.
23
Stockholders’ ability to influence corporate decisions may be limited because Michael Dent, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, currently owns a controlling percentage of the voting power of our common stock.
Currently, our officers and directors as a group beneficially control approximately 99.3% of our voting power, of which approximately 99.3% is controlled by our Chairman and CEO, Dr. Michael Dent. As a result of this voting control, Dr. Dent can control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors and approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentration of voting power could delay or prevent an acquisition of our Company on terms that other stockholders may desire. In addition, as the interests of Dr. Dent and our minority stockholders may not always be the same, this large concentration of voting power may lead to stockholder votes that are inconsistent with the best interests of our minority stockholders or the best interest of the Company as a whole.
If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or to prevent fraud. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.
Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed. As a result, our small size and current internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operation and access to capital. We have not performed an in-depth analysis to determine if historical undiscovered failures of internal controls exist and may in the future discover areas of our internal control that need improvement.
We are required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires our management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. However, our independent registered public accounting firm is not yet required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and will not be required to do so for as long as we are a “non accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.
Our stockholders are subject to significant dilution upon the occurrence of certain events which could result in a decrease in our stock price.
As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately 2,706,880 shares of our common stock reserved or designated for future issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options, warrants, unvested employee grants, common stock issuable, convertible debt and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock to the public and the issuance of the shares reserved for future issuance, in payment of our debt, and/or upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants, will be dilutive to our existing stockholders and could result in a decrease in our stock price.
The public market for our common stock is limited, which could negatively affect its value and make it difficult or impossible for you to sell your shares.
Our common stock has traded on the OTCQB under the symbol “HLYK” since May 10, 2017. There is a limited public market for our common stock, which could make it difficult to sell shares. Further, we have applied to have our common stock listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”). To meet the Nasdaq minimum listing requirements, we may be required to have our related party debtholder, Dr. Michael Dent, convert a portion or all of the convertible debt outstanding to him. No assurance can be given that we will meet the minimum listing requirements or that our application will be approved. If our application is not approved, we may continue to have a limited public market for our common stock, which may make it difficult to sell shares. In the event our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, there is no assurance a more active trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained or that we will remain eligible for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
We may not be able to maintain a listing of our common stock on Nasdaq.
We have applied to list our common stock for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “HLYK”. If our common stock is listed on Nasdaq, we must meet certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain such listing. If we violate such listing requirements, our common stock may be delisted. In addition, our Board of Directors may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing. A delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq may materially impair our stockholders’ ability to buy and sell our common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our common stock. The delisting of our common stock could significantly impair our ability to raise capital and the value of your investment.
We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.
We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business, and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
24
Our issuance of additional common stock or preferred stock may cause our common stock price to decline, which may negatively impact your investment.
Issuances of a substantial number of additional shares of our common or preferred stock, or the perception that such issuances could occur, may cause prevailing market prices for our common stock to decline.
Anti-takeover provisions in our charter and bylaws may prevent or frustrate attempts by stockholders to change the Board of Directors or current management and could make a third-party acquisition of us difficult.
Our charter and bylaws contain provisions that may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. Furthermore, the Board of Directors has the ability to increase the size of the board and fill newly created vacancies without stockholder approval. These provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.
Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in the securities is limited, which makes transactions in our common stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our common stock.
Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (a) that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and (b) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: (a) obtain financial information, investment experience, and investment objectives of the person and (b) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: (a) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (b) confirms that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules.This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our common stock.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker or dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions.Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
We are a “smaller reporting company”, and we cannot be certain if the reduced reporting requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. As a smaller reporting company, we are able to take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements, including reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and providing only two years of audited financial statements. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

Forward-Looking Statements
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below, and those discussed in the section titled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. All amounts in this report are in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted.
Overview
HealthLynked is a healthcare technology company incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 6, 2014. We operate across three primary divisions – Digital Healthcare, Health Services, and Medical Distribution – each dedicated to leveraging innovative solutions that enhance patient care, reduce costs, and generate long-term value for stockholders.
Within our Digital Healthcare division, we develop and manage the HealthLynked Network, a robust, cloud-based platform that centralizes personal medical records and streamlines communication between patients and healthcare providers. Our platform integrates AI-driven capabilities, on-demand telemedicine services, and concierge support, delivering an advanced, technology-enabled patient experience.
29
Our Health Services division encompasses a diverse range of clinical operations, offering services such as functional medicine, physical therapy, primary care, and cosmetic treatments. By integrating these patient-focused medical services, we continuously test and refine our healthcare technologies in real-world clinical settings. This approach not only enhances the effectiveness of our tools but also diversifies our revenue streams.
Operating under MOD, our Medical Distribution division serves as a virtual distributor of discounted medical supplies to medical practices and individual consumers across the United States. Through strategic partnerships and direct-to-consumer shipping, we provide cost-effective solutions while strengthening HealthLynked’s overall consumer value.
By aligning our three divisions, we aim to strengthen our position in the healthcare industry, drive innovation, and create meaningful value for our patients, partners, and stockholders.
Critical accounting policies and significant judgments and estimates
For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, see Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to consolidated Financial Statements.
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Management bases its estimates on historical experience, current conditions and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material to our consolidated financial statements. Critical accounting estimates are those that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Significant estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements include the following:
Fair Value of Acquired Intangible Assets
We estimate the fair value of intangible assets acquired in business combinations using valuation techniques that involve significant judgment. These valuations may utilize income, market or cost approaches and typically incorporate assumptions such as projected revenues, growth rates, expected future cash flows, discount rates, and market participant assumptions. Changes in these assumptions could result in materially different valuations and could affect future amortization expense or gains and losses recognized in our consolidated statements of operations.
We also evaluate our intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The impairment evaluation requires estimates of future undiscounted and discounted cash flows associated with the underlying assets or asset groups. Key assumptions include projected revenues, operating margins, terminal values and discount rates. Changes in market conditions, operating performance, or other assumptions could result in the recognition of impairment charges.
Derivative Financial Instruments
In evaluating our financial instruments, management assesses the terms of debt agreements, equity-linked contracts and other arrangements to determine whether embedded features require bifurcation and separate accounting as derivatives. This assessment involves significant judgment in evaluating contractual terms, including settlement provisions, conversion features, and adjustments to exercise prices or conversion ratios. Management also evaluates whether such instruments qualify for the scope exception for contracts indexed to and settled in the Company’s own stock. Changes in the interpretation of contractual provisions or the issuance of new accounting guidance could result in different conclusions regarding derivative classification.
Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Estimating fair value requires the use of valuation models that incorporate significant assumptions, including expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, risk-free interest rates, expected term, and the probability of certain contingent events occurring. Because many of these inputs are not observable in active markets, the valuations may involve significant management judgment and are typically classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Changes in these assumptions could materially affect the fair value of derivative liabilities or assets and result in significant fluctuations in our reported results of operations.
30
Contingent Sale Consideration Receivable
The fair value of contingent consideration receivable related to the sale of businesses or assets is estimated using probability-weighted cash flow models. These estimates require significant judgment regarding the likelihood of achieving performance targets, expected timing of payments, discount rates and other factors. Changes in assumptions regarding the expected performance of the divested business or other conditions could materially affect the estimated fair value of the receivable and may result in adjustments recognized in earnings.
Inventory Valuation
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We evaluate inventory quantities on hand relative to expected future demand, product life cycles, technological changes and market conditions. We record reserves for excess, slow-moving or obsolete inventory based on these assessments. Changes in demand forecasts or product pricing could result in additional inventory write-downs.
Stock-Based Compensation
We measure stock-based compensation expense based on the estimated fair value of equity awards granted to employees and non-employees. Determining the fair value of these awards requires judgment in estimating inputs to valuation models, including expected volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rates and expected forfeiture rates. Changes in these assumptions could materially impact the amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized in our consolidated financial statements.
Valuation Allowance on Deferred Tax Assets
We evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets and record a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. This assessment requires significant judgment and involves evaluating both positive and negative evidence, including historical operating results, future taxable income projections, the timing of reversal of temporary differences and available tax planning strategies. Changes in our operating performance or tax planning strategies could result in adjustments to the valuation allowance.
Lease Accounting and Incremental Borrowing Rate
For leases in which the implicit rate cannot be readily determined, we estimate the incremental borrowing rate used to measure our right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities under ASC 842. Determining the incremental borrowing rate requires judgment and considers factors such as our credit risk, the lease term, economic environment and collateralized borrowing rates available to us.
Useful Lives of Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Determining the appropriate useful life for an asset requires judgment regarding the expected period over which the asset will provide economic benefit. Changes in technology, market conditions, or usage patterns could result in revisions to estimated useful lives and changes in depreciation expense.

Revenue
Patient service revenue decreased by $869,629, or 30% year-over-year, from $2,872,177 in the year ended December 31, 2024, to $2,002,548 in the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily as a result of (i) a 23% year-over-year decrease at our NCFM practice of $492,742 due to changes in clinical staffing and cost reductions, (ii) a 100% decrease at our NWC practice of $330,553 due to the discontinuation of this practice in October 2024, (iii) a 24% decrease at our BTG practice of $86,586 due primarily to the sale of the BTG practice in October 2025, and (iv) a decline in revenue from our AEU practice of $29,216, offset by (v) an increase of $69,496 from our CCN practice, which began operation in fourth quarter of 2024. The overall reduction in patient service revenue was offset in part by a corresponding designed reduction in practice operating costs as described below in the fluctuation of “Practice salaries and benefits” and “Other practice operating costs,” which declined by a combined $1,562,295, or 44%, from the year ended December 31, 2024 to the year ended December 31, 2025.
Subscription revenue in the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased by $9,802, or 30% year-over-year, to $22,623 in the year ended December 31, 2025, from $32,425 in the year ended December 31, 2024, due primarily to a decrease in HealthLynked Network paid subscriptions that were paired with NCFM membership contracts.
Product revenue was $40,121 in the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $103,759 in the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $63,638, or 61%. Product revenue was earned by the Medical Distribution Division, comprised of the operations of MOD, which decreased due to decreased marketing efforts and demand for our products at our offered price points.
32
Operating Expenses and Costs
Practice salaries and benefits decreased by $978,584, or 49%, to $1,016,543 in the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $1,995,127 in the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily as a result of focused cost reduction efforts at all of our practices starting in mid-2023 and accelerating in the second half of 2024 and continuing into 2025.
Other practice operating costs decreased by $583,711 or 37%, to $973,048 in the year ended December 31, 2025 from $1,556,759 in the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily as a result of focused cost reduction efforts at all of our practices starting in mid-2023 and accelerating in the second half of 2024 and continuing into 2025.
Cost of product revenue was $51,568 in the year ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of $44,669, or 46%, compared to $96,237 in the same period of 2024, corresponding to the decline in product sales for the period compared to the same period in the prior year.
Selling, general and administrative costs decreased by $1,003,420, or 33%, to $2,035,516 in the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $3,038,936 in the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to lower salaried overhead in the corporate office, lower stock-based compensation expense resulting from fewer employee and consultant grants in 2025, and lower consulting and other office and overhead costs in our corporate function resulting from focused cost cutting efforts.
Depreciation and amortization in the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased by $181,079, or 64%, to $101,871 compared to $282,950 in the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily as a result of the impairment of NCFM intangible assets in September 2024 resulting in no amortization in the year ended December 31, 2025.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded an impairment charge in the amount of $716,000 to adjust carrying value of the NCFM Medical Database to its estimated fair value of $-0-. There were no impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Loss from operations decreased by $2,564,394, or 55%, to $2,113,254 in the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $4,677,648 in the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily as a result of reduced practice operating costs and corporate overhead costs, offset in part by lower revenue.
Other Income (Expenses)
Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt in the year ended December 31, 2025 was a gain of $317,982, compared to a loss of $178,986 in the year ended December 31, 2024. Gain on extinguishment of debt in the year ended December 31, 2025 resulted from the extension of multiple notes payable to Dr. Dent during the period treated as extinguishment and reissuance transactions. Loss on extinguishment of debt in 2024 resulted from two maturing notes payable to Dr. Dent refinanced with new convertible notes in the same amount and the extension of the maturity date of four additional notes payable to Dr. Dent.
Gain (loss) on the change in fair value of debt was a loss of $618,208 in the year ended December 31, 2025 related to multiple notes payable to Dr. Michael Dent that were recorded at fair value following extension of the maturity dates of the notes. These notes are revalued at their fair value at the end of each period, with the changes recorded as gains or losses from the change in fair value of debt. The gain on change in fair value of debt was $84,109 in the year ended December 31, 2024 and related to three notes payable to Dr. Michael Dent that were recorded at fair value following extension of the maturity dates of the notes.
Gain on sale of assets was $168,722 in the year ended December 31, 2025, resulting from the excess of proceeds received over net assets and liabilities sold. There were no such gains or losses in the year ended December 31, 2024.
Gain on change in fair value of derivative financial instruments was $8,644 in the year ended December 31, 2025, resulting from the change in fair value of derivative financial instruments related to beneficial conversion features embedded in third party notes issued during the period. Such derivative financial instruments are revalued at each period end. There were no such gains or losses in the year ended December 31, 2024.
Amortization of original issue and debt discounts on notes payable and convertible notes in the year ended December 31, 2025 was $828,006, a decrease of $488,159, or 37%, compared to $1,316,165 in the year ended December 31, 2024. Amortization of discounts arose from original issue discounts on notes payable, warrants attached to notes payable, and beneficial conversion features in convertible notes payable. The decrease was due to larger equity-based and original issue discounts offered for notes payable being amortized in 2024, and therefore larger corresponding amortizable discount balances, in 2024 compared to 2025.
Interest expense and other increased by $47,990, or 29%, to $216,134 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $168,144 in the year ended December 31, 2024, due to an increase in interest-bearing notes payable to related parties during second half of 2024 and first half of 2025, primarily in the form of new notes and convertible notes payable to Dr. Dent.
33
Gain from realization of contingent sale consideration receivable was $125,355 in the year ended December 31, 2024, resulting from actual proceeds received during the period from contingent sale consideration related to the sale of ACO Health Partners, LLC (“AHP”) in excess of the amount estimated to be received at the time of the sale in January 2023. Receipts during the year ended December 31, 2024 included $500,000 gross ($325,000 net) from the receipt of Physician Advance Consideration in November 2024. There were no such receipts or gains in 2025.
Total other net expenses decreased by $286,831, or 20%, to net expense of $1,167,000 in the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to net expense of $1,453,831 in the year ended December 31, 2024. The change was primarily a result of gains related to extinguishment of debt, lower debt-related discount amortization and the gain on sale of the BTG assets in 2025, offset by higher losses on changes in the fair value of debt in 2025 and a gain from realization of contingent sale consideration receivable in 2024.
Net loss
Net loss decreased by $2,851,225, or 47%, to $3,280,254 in the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to net loss of $6,131,479 in the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily as a result of reduced corporate overhead and practice operating costs resulting from substantial downsizing and cost cutting measures implemented starting in 2024, as well as an impairment charge recognized in 2024, offset by lower revenue from our practices.
Seasonal Nature of Operations
We do not experience any material seasonality related to any of our operations.
Impairment
Impairment Reviews
Long-lived assets (including amortizable identifiable intangible assets) or asset groups held for use are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. When such events occur, we compare the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group to the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group. The cash flows are based on our best estimate of future cash flows derived from the most recent business projections. If this comparison indicates that the asset is not recoverable, we estimate the fair value of the asset group using a discounted cash flow model. An impairment charge is then recorded for any excess carrying value above the estimated fair value of the asset group.
Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and more often if circumstances indicate that an impairment may be necessary. Goodwill impairment is recognized for any excess carrying value above the estimated fair value of the asset group. Fair value is estimated using the same approach as described above for long-lived asset testing.
The significant assumptions we use in the discounted cash flow models are revenue growth rate, gross profit margins on product sales, operating income margin, and the discount rate used to determine the present value of the cash flow projections. Among other inputs, revenue growth rate and operating income margin are determined by management using historical performance trends, projected performance from existing partnerships, industry data, relevant changes in the reporting unit’s underlying business, and other market trends that may affect the reporting unit. The discount rate is based on the estimated weighted average cost of capital as of the test date of market participants in the industry in which the reporting unit operates. The assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model are subject to significant judgment and uncertainty. Changes in projected revenue growth rates, gross profit margins, projected operating income margins, or estimated discount rates due to uncertain market conditions, losses of key physicians in our Health Services reporting unit, changes in technology, or other factors, could result in one or more of our reporting units with a significant amount of identifiable intangible assets recognizing material impairment charges, which could be material to our results of operations and financial position. Our historical or projected revenues or cash flows may not be indicative of actual future results.

Impairment of NCFM Medical Database – 2024
During the third quarter of 2024, we determined that triggering events had occurred that required an impairment assessment of the NCFM Medical Database. The triggering events included (i) a material decline in revenue during third quarter 2024, including a 65% decline compared to third quarter of 2023 and a 35% decline compared to the second quarter of 2024, (ii) substantial operating losses and negative cash flows generated from the practice for the first time since its acquisition, and (iii) substantial downsizing of the practice personnel and overhead. We do not believe that the levels of revenue and profitability achieved since acquisition of NCFM are reasonably likely to return to the extent that projected cash flows from the practice can substantiate the carrying value of the NCFM Medical Database.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The amount of impairment loss is measured as the excess of the reporting unit’s carrying value over its fair value. We determined that the carrying amount of the reporting unit, which consists of the NCFM practice, exceeded its estimated fair value. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment charge in the amount of $716,000 to adjust carrying value of the NCFM Medical Database to its estimated fair value of $-0- in the year ended December 31, 2024.
The fair value of the NCFM reporting unit was determined using a discounted cash flow approach, which applies a market discount rate to a projected stream of cash flows, as estimated by management. As such, the fair values of the NCFM reporting unit and goodwill rely on significant unobservable inputs and assumptions and there is uncertainty in the expected future cash flows used in the impairment review.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Condition
During the 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This update provided U.S. GAAP guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. Under this standard, we are required to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern each reporting period, including interim periods. In evaluating our ability to continue as a going concern, management considered the conditions and events that could raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months after our financial statements were issued (March 31, 2027).
Management considered our current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows and our obligations due before March 31, 2027 and concluded that, without additional funding, we will not have sufficient funds to meet our obligations within one year from the date the consolidated financial statements were issued. Without raising additional capital, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through March 31, 2027. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. This basis of presentation contemplates the recovery of our assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
We are subject to a number of risks, including uncertainty related to product development and generation of revenues and positive cash flow from our Digital Healthcare Division and a dependence on outside sources of capital. The attainment of profitable operations is dependent on future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fulfill our growth and operating activities and generating a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure.
As of December 31, 2025, we had cash balances of $37,136, a working capital deficit of $5,461,724 and an accumulated deficit of $50,539,218. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we had a net loss of $3,280,254 and used cash from operating activities of $1,713,810. We expect to continue to incur net losses and have significant cash outflows for at least the next 12 months.
35
Significant Liquidity Transactions
Through December 31, 2025, we have funded our operations principally through a combination of sales of our common stock, convertible and non-convertible promissory notes, government issued debt, and related party debt, as described below.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we issued new convertible notes payable and advances payable to our CEO, Dr. Michael Dent, for aggregate net cash proceeds of $1,609,840 and refinanced or extended existing notes with an aggregate principal of $3,926,500. We also issued notes payable to third parties for net cash proceeds of $630,000. We made repayments on related party and third-party notes of $720,135 in year ended December 31, 2025.
On February 2, 2026, we refinanced all past outstanding notes with aggregate principal totaling $4,338,192, accrued interest totaling $737,180, undocumented advances totaling $339,840 and accrued compensation liabilities totaling $300,600 into a new consolidated Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $5,715,812 payable to a trust controlled by Dr. Michael Dent (the “February 2026 Dent Note”). The February 2026 Dent Note accrues interest at a rate of 12% per year and matures on February 2, 2029, at which time all outstanding principal and interest is due. The February 2026 Dent Note is convertible into shares of common stock at any time at the holder’s discretion at a conversion price of $4.25 per share, subject to adjustment in the event of a future offering by us at a price lower than the conversion price.
On February 9, 2026, we filed a Form S-1 registration statement with the SEC for the sale of up to $7,500,000 shares of our common stock at a proposed offering price between $4.00 and $6.00 per share (the “Common Stock Offering”). Any proceeds from the offering are subject to effectiveness of the Offering Statement and demand from the market to purchase our common stock.
Without raising additional capital, whether via the sale of equity or debt instruments, from proceeds from the Common Stock Offering, from receipt of remaining contingent consideration related to the sale of AHP, from the sale of our current practices, or from other sources, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through March 31, 2027. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of presentation contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Plan of operation and future funding requirements
Our plan of operations is to profitably operate our Health Services business and continue to invest in our Digital Healthcare business, including our cloud-based online personal medical information and record archiving system, the “HealthLynked Network.”
Our business model employs both consumer (B2C) and enterprise (B2B) revenue streams, driven by patient subscriptions, telemedicine services, appointment booking fees for in-network providers, and strategic partnerships with insurers, employers, and research organizations. Beyond individual patients and providers, HealthLynked’s business model can extend to strategic partnerships with insurance companies, large employers, pharmaceutical companies, and medical research organizations. If we fail to complete the development of, or successfully market, the HealthLynked Network, our ability to realize future increases in revenue and operating profits could be impacted, and our results of operations and financial position would be materially adversely affected.
We plan to raise additional capital to fund our ongoing plan of operation.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
HealthLynked Corp. and Subsidiaries
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HealthLynked Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has recurring losses from operations, limited cash flow, and an accumulated deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

NOTE 1 – BUSINESS AND BUSINESS PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)
Uncertainty Due to Geopolitical Events

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include assumptions about fair valuation of acquired intangible assets and derivative financial instruments; cash flow and fair value assumptions associated with measurements of contingent sale consideration receivable and impairment of intangible assets; valuation of inventory; collection of accounts receivable; the valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation expense; valuation allowance for deferred tax assets; and borrowing rate consideration for right-of-use (“ROU”) lease assets including related lease liability and useful life of fixed assets.
Revenue Recognition
Patient service revenue
Patient service revenue is earned for functional medicine services provided to patients by the NCFM practice, physical therapy services provided to patients by the BTG practice (until sale of its assets in October 2025), aesthetics services provided by the AEU practice, and medical services provided to patients by the CCN practice (after its establishment in October 2024) and NWC practice (until its discontinuation in October 2024). Patient service revenue is reported at the amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for providing patient care. All amounts are due from patients at the time of service, with the exception of NWC billings incurred prior to October 2024 that were due from third-party payors (including health insurers and government programs) that included variable consideration for retroactive revenue adjustments due to settlement of audits, reviews, and investigations. Generally, the Company bills patients at the time of service and third-party payors within days after the services are performed and/or the patient is discharged from the facility. Revenue is recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Performance obligations are determined based on the nature of the services provided by the Company. Revenue for performance obligations satisfied over time includes revenue from NCFM annual access contracts (the Medical Membership and Concierge Program prior to October 1, 2023 and the more comprehensive Optimal Health 365 Access Plan thereafter), BTG physical therapy bundles, CCN annual and semi-annual concierge services, and NWC annual administration fees (prior to October 2024). Revenue from NCFM Medical Memberships and Concierge contracts, CCN concierge services, and NWC annual administration fees, which include bundled products and services that have substantially the same pattern of transfer to the customer, is recognized over the period of delivery, which is the same as the period of the contract (typically, six months or one year). Revenue from prepaid BTG physical therapy bundles, for which performance obligations are satisfied over time as visits are incurred, is recognized based on actual visits incurred in relation to total expected visits. At inception of such contracts, the Company recognizes contract liabilities for the value of services to be provided and, where applicable, contract assets for recoverable amounts incurred to obtain a customer contract that would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained. The Company believes that these methods provide a faithful depiction of the transfer of services over the term of the performance obligations based on the inputs needed to satisfy the obligation.
Revenue for performance obligations satisfied at a point in time, which includes all patient service revenue other than NCFM annual access contracts, BTG physical therapy bundles, CCN concierge services, and NWC annual administration fees, is recognized when goods or services are provided at the time of the patient visit, and at which time the Company is not required to provide additional goods or services to the patient.
Patient service revenues are presented on the statement of operations net of contractual adjustments provided to third-party payors, discounts provided to uninsured patients in accordance with the Company’s policy, and/or implicit price concessions provided to uninsured patients. Estimates of contractual adjustments and discounts require significant judgment and are based on the Company’s current contractual agreements, its discount policies, and historical experience. The Company determines its estimate of implicit price concessions based on its historical collection experience with this class of patients. There were no material changes during the years ended December 31, 2025 or 2024 to the judgments applied in determining the amount and timing of patient service revenue. Subsequent to the cessation of the NWC practice on October 1, 2024, the Company no longer bills Medicare, Medicaid, or other third-party insurers for any of its patient services. During October 2025, the Company sold the BTG practice.
Product Revenue
Product revenue is derived from the distribution of medical products that are sourced from a third party. The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time when title transfers to customers and the Company has no further obligation to provide services related to such products, which occurs when the product ships. The Company is the principal in its revenue transactions and as a result revenue is recorded on a gross basis. The Company has determined that it controls the ability to direct the use of the product provided prior to transfer to a customer, is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the product to its customer, has discretion in establishing prices, and ultimately controls the transfer of the product to the customer. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are recorded in revenue. Contract liabilities related to product revenue are recognized when payment is received but for which the Company has not met its product fulfillment performance obligation.
Sales are made inclusive of sales tax, where such sales tax is applicable. Sales tax is applicable on sales made in the state of Florida, where the Company has physical nexus. The Company has determined that it does not have economic nexus in any other states. The Company does not sell products outside of the United States.
The Company maintains a return policy that allows customers to return a product within a specified period of time prior to and subsequent to the expiration date of the product. The Company analyzes the need for a product return allowance at the end of each period based on eligible products.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For financial statement purposes, the Company
considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of six months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Accounts at each
institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $

Other Comprehensive Income
The Company does not have any activity that results in Other Comprehensive Income.
Leases
Upon transition under ASU 2016-02, the Company elected the suite of practical expedients as a package applied to all of its leases, including (i) not reassessing whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) not reassessing the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (iii) not reassessing initial direct costs for any existing leases. For new leases, the Company will determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. Leases are included as ROU assets within other assets and ROU liabilities within accrued expenses and other liabilities and within other long-term liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Upon termination of a lease, the ROU asset and lease liability are written off. Upon modification of a lease, the ROU asset and lease liability are remeasured based on the modified last terms. See Note 8 for more complete details on balances as of the reporting periods presented herein.
Inventory
Inventory consisting of supplements, is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. Outdated inventory is directly charged to cost of goods sold.
Intangible Assets
The Company recognizes an acquired intangible
whenever the intangible arises from contractual or other legal rights, or whenever it can be separated or divided from the acquired entity
and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or in combination with a related contract, asset or liability.
Such intangibles are amortized over their estimated useful lives unless the estimated useful life is determined to be indefinite. Amortizable
intangible assets are being amortized primarily over useful lives of
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to a concentration of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable. There are no patients/customers that represent 10% or more of the Company’s revenue or accounts receivable. Generally, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are in checking accounts. The Company relies on a sole supplier for the fulfillment of substantially all of its product sales made through MOD.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. When
retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the
net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. For consolidated financial statement purposes, property
and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of
The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants. In determining fair value, the accounting standards have established a three-level hierarchy that distinguishes between (i) market data obtained or developed from independent sources (i.e., observable data inputs) and (ii) a reporting entity’s own data and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (i.e., unobservable data inputs). Financial assets and financial liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified in one of the following categories, in order of priority of observability and objectivity of pricing inputs:
| ● | Level 1 – Fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| ● | Level 2 – Fair value based on significant directly observable data (other than Level 1 quoted prices) or significant indirectly observable data through corroboration with observable market data. Inputs would normally be (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities or (iii) information derived from or corroborated by observable market data; and |
| ● | Level 3 – Fair value based on prices or valuation techniques that require significant unobservable data inputs. Inputs would normally be a reporting entity’s own data and judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
The fair value measurement level for an asset or liability is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The Company utilizes a binomial lattice option pricing model to estimate the fair value of options, warrants, beneficial conversion features and other Level 3 financial assets and liabilities. The Company believes that the binomial lattice model results in the best estimate of fair value because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including the underlying price, exercise price, term, volatility, and risk-free interest-rate) necessary to fairly value these instruments and, unlike less sophisticated models like the Black-Scholes model, it also accommodates assumptions regarding investor exercise behavior and other market conditions that market participants would likely consider in negotiating the transfer of such an instruments.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees and nonemployees under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. The Company uses a binomial lattice pricing model to estimate the fair value of options and warrants granted.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income Taxes
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability during each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse and are considered immaterial. income tax has been provided for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, since the Company has sustained a loss for both periods. Due to the uncertainty of the utilization and recoverability of the loss carry-forwards and other deferred tax assets, management has determined a full valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets, since it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realizable.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The carrying value of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities is their cost, which may differ from fair value. The carrying value of accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximated their fair value.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed
by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. During the years
ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company reported a net loss and excluded all outstanding stock options, warrants and other dilutive
securities from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share because inclusion of these securities would have been anti-dilutive.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, potentially dilutive securities were comprised of (i)
Common Stock Awards
The Company grants common stock awards to non-employees in exchange for services provided. The Company measures the fair value of these awards using the fair value of the services provided or the fair value of the awards granted, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value measurement date of these awards is generally the date the performance of services is complete. The fair value of the awards is recognized on a straight-line basis as services are rendered. The share-based payments related to common stock awards for the settlement of services provided by non-employees is recorded on the consolidated statement of operations in the same manner and charged to the same account as if such settlements had been made in cash. From time to time, the Company also issues stock awards settleable in a variable number of common shares. Such awards are classified as liabilities until such time as the number of shares underlying the grant is determinable.

Warrants
In connection with certain financing, consulting and collaboration arrangements, the Company has issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The outstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity awards. The Company measures the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes pricing model as of the measurement date. The Company uses a binomial lattice pricing model to estimate the fair value of compensation options and warrants. Warrants issued in conjunction with the issuance of common stock are initially recorded at fair value as a reduction in additional paid-in capital of the common stock issued. All other warrants are recorded at fair value as expense over the requisite service period, or at the date of issuance, if there is not a service period. Certain of the Company’s warrants include a so-called down round provision. The Company accounts for such provisions pursuant to ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and Derivatives and Hedging, which calls for the recognition of a deemed dividend in the amount of the incremental fair value of the warrant due to the down round when triggered.
Segment Reporting
The Company uses the “management approach”
under ASC 280, “Segment Reporting,” to identify its reportable segments. The management approach designates the internal organization
used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the basis for identifying the Company’s reportable
segments. Using the management approach, the Company determined that it has

ASU 2024-01 adds an example to Topic 718 which illustrates how to apply the scope guidance to determine whether profits interests and similar awards should be accounted for as share-based payment arrangements under Topic 718 or under other U.S. GAAP. ASU 2024-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, although early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, ASU 2024-01 is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40).” This standard requires disclosure of specific information about costs and expenses and becomes effective January 1, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, “Debt - Debt with Conversions and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments” (“ASU 2024-04”). ASU 2024-04 clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments, including convertible debt instruments with cash conversion features or convertible debt instruments that are not currently convertible, should be accounted for as an induced conversion.

Recently Adopted Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The amendments eliminate certain separation models for convertible debt instruments, including the beneficial conversion feature model, and require most convertible instruments to be accounted for as a single liability measured at amortized cost. The update also simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance for contracts in an entity’s own equity and requires the use of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 in the year ended December 31, 2026 using the modified retrospective method. Under this method, the cumulative effect of initially applying the new guidance is recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit at the date of adoption. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 resulted in the elimination of previously recognized beneficial conversion features associated with certain convertible notes and the related discount on the underlying debt instruments. Accordingly, the carrying amount of the Company’s convertible debt increased and the related debt discount and additional paid-in capital balances were reduced as of the adoption date. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or cash flows.
In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, which requires a joint venture to initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value upon formation. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2025. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company did not form any joint ventures during the year ended December 31, 2025.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08, “Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets,” which requires certain crypto assets to be measured at fair value with changes recognized in net income each reporting period. The standard also requires enhanced disclosures regarding significant holdings, restrictions, and changes during the period. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2025 on a modified retrospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company does not hold or trade crypto assets.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The amendments in this update require additional disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation, including standardized categories and separate disclosure of significant reconciling items. The update also requires disclosure of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions, and by individual jurisdictions when certain thresholds are met. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2025. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No 2024-02, “Codification Improvements - Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements” (“ASU 2024-02”). ASU 2024-02 removes references to various Concepts Statements. In most instances, the references are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. ASU 2024-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2024-02 can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2025. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
No other new accounting pronouncements were issued or became effective in the period that had, or are expected to have, a material impact on our consolidated Financial Statements.

Sale of AHP
On January 17, 2023, the Company entered into the AHP Merger Agreement, pursuant to which PBACO Holding, LLC (the “Buyer”) agreed to buy, and the Company agreed to sell, AHP (the “AHP Sale”). Pursuant to the terms of the AHP Merger Agreement, the Company received or was entitled to receive certain upfront and contingent consideration. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, remaining unresolved consideration was comprised of shares of the Buyer’s common stock issuable to the Company in the event that the Buyer completes an initial public offering (“IPO”) by a prescribed date.

Prior to 2014, the Company was an S-Corporation, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. During 2014, the Corporation defaulted to C-Corporation status. Pre C-Corporation losses were passed through to qualified S-Corporation shareholders. The net operating loss (“NOL”) carryovers presented in this note are C-Corporation losses. NOLs are subject to limitations imposed by IRC Section 382/383 resulting from changes in ownership. At the date of this filing, management has not reviewed the Company’s ownership changes and will perform the study in advance of any potential use of the NOLs. Based upon management’s assessment, a full valuation allowance has been placed upon the net deferred tax assets, since it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Therefore, no financial statement benefit has been taken for the deferred tax assets, as of the filing date.

NOTE 18 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of such instruments. The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis, including certain convertible notes payable and related party loans, which were extinguished and reissued and are therefore subject to fair value measurement, derivative financial instruments arising from conversion features embedded in convertible promissory notes for which the conversion rate was not fixed, and equity-class. All financial instruments carried at fair value fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as their value is based on unobservable inputs. The Company evaluates its financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level in which to classify them for each reporting period. This determination requires significant judgments to be made.
The following table summarizes the conclusions reached regarding fair value measurements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025 based on the framework in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 2013. Based on that evaluation, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. As defined by the SEC, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of our Principal Executive and Financial Officer and implemented by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
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 annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, management identified the following material weaknesses that have caused management to conclude that, as of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
| 1. | We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness. |
Remediation of Material Weaknesses
To remediate the material weakness in our documentation of internal controls we intend to formally document the design of our internal control policies and procedures when resources allow. To remediate the material weakness regarding adjusting journal entries, we intend to implement internal control procedures related to the affected areas, which include intangible asset valuation and recognition of contract liabilities at certain of our patient service facilities.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except for the matters discussed above, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
