SUMMARY
The
following summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by
reference in this prospectus and does not contain all the information you will need in making your investment decision. You should
read carefully this entire prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus before making an investment
decision, especially the information presented under the heading “Risk Factors.”
Business
Summary
We
provide unique consumer and physician platforms and strategies to help patients better afford and comply with their medicines
and healthcare products, while offering pharmaceutical and healthcare companies more effective ways to expand physician and patient
awareness, access and adherence to their medications and available product support.
Our
core product offering is our SampleMD™ software application which delivers an automated system that replaces traditional
physical drug samples by enabling doctors or other healthcare providers to automatically print and electronically distribute sample
vouchers or co-pay discount coupons within their ePrescribing/ EHR (electronic health record) system or from their computer desktops.
Through SampleMD, pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers have a digital paperless platform to directly offer patient's critical
cost savings, patient education and adherence tools-- right at point of prescribing.
Our
consumer support website, www.OPTIMIZERx.com and our subscriber base exceeding 2.5 million patients , continues to grow each
month and we believe is quickly becoming the preferred way to access branded prescription vouchers, co-pay savings and other support
programs.
The
Shares Underlying Warrants Issued in Connection With the March 2014 Private Placement Financing
On
March 17, 2014 (the “March 2014 Private Placement”), we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase
Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which we: (i) sold to the
Purchasers an aggregate of 8,333,333 shares of our Common Stock at a price per share of $1.20 (the “Common Shares”)
for aggregate gross proceeds of $10 million and (ii) issued warrants to purchase up to 804,139 shares of the our Common Stock
to our placement agents (the “Agent Warrants”). Placement Agents also received commissions equal to approximately
9.7% of the gross proceeds, for an aggregate commission of approximately $970,000, including reimbursements for their reasonable
out of pocket expenses.
Pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities
Act of 1933, the prospectus included in this Registration Statement is a combined prospectus relating to the Agent Warrants, which
were registered for a fee of $179.41 on Registration Statement No. 333-195210 previously filed by the Registrant on Form S-1 and
declared effective May 28, 2014. There are no other shares outstanding under Registration Statement No. 333-195210. This Registration
Statement, which is a new registration statement, also constitutes a Post-Effective Amendment on Form S-1 to such Registration
Statement No. 333-195210, and such post-effective amendment shall hereafter become effective concurrently with the effectiveness
of this Registration Statement in accordance with Section 8(c) of the Securities Act of 1933.
The
Shares Issued in Connection with the Merriman Capital, Inc. Advisory Agreement
On
February 23, 2015, we entered into an advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Merriman Capital, Inc. (“Merriman”).
In exchange for advisory services pertaining to capital market interactions, we agreed to issue to Merriman 45,000 shares of common
stock upon execution of the Advisory Agreement, with 45,000 additional shares of common stock due on or before August 15, 2015
and 60,000 shares of common stock as a bonus if we successfully up-list to a national exchange. We have issued and delivered to
Merriman the 45,000 initial shares, which are being registered herein as a condition of the Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory
Shares”). The sale
of these shares has been completed and Merriman bears the market risk in connection with these shares.

RISK
FACTORS
Readers
and prospective investors in our common stock should carefully consider the following risk factors as well as the other information
contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus.
If
any of the following risks actually occurs, our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely
affected. If this were to happen, the value of our common stock could decline, and if you invest in our common stock, you could
lose all or part of your investment.
The
discussion below highlights some important risks we have identified related to our business and operations and an investment in
shares of our common stock, but these should not be assumed to be the only factors that could affect our future performance and
condition, financial and otherwise. We do not have a policy of updating or revising forward-looking statements except as otherwise
required by law, and silence by management over time should not be construed to mean that actual events are occurring as estimated
in such forward-looking statements.
Risks
Relating to Business and Financial Condition
Because
we have historically experienced losses, if we are unable to achieve profitability, our financial condition and company could
suffer.
Since
the inception of our business we have historically incurred losses. While we have increased revenues significantly, we have not
yet been able to achieve profitability due to significant investments in our growth. Our ability to achieve consistent profitability
depends on our ability to generate sales through our technology platform and advertising model, while maintaining reasonable expense
levels. If we do not achieve sustainable profitability, it may impact our ability to continue our operations.
Our
business and growth may suffer if we are unable to attract and retain key employees.
Our
success depends on the expertise of our executive officers and certain other key technical personnel. It may be difficult to find
sufficiently qualified individuals to replace management or other key technical personnel in the event of death, disability or
resignation, thus frustrating our ability to implement our business plan, which could negatively affect our operating results.
Furthermore,
our ability to expand operations to accommodate our anticipated growth will also depend on our ability to attract and retain qualified
media, management, finance, marketing, sales and technical personnel. However, competition for these types of employees is intense
due to the limited number of qualified professionals. Our ability to meet our business development objectives will depend in part
on our ability to recruit, train and retain top quality people with advanced skills who understand our technology and business.
We believe that we will be able to attract competent employees, but no assurance can be given that we will be successful in this
regard. If we are unable to engage and retain the necessary personnel, our business may be materially and adversely affected.
Our
failure to obtain retain or attract additional customers could prevent us from successfully executing our business plan.
We
currently work with many leading pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer, Eli Lilly, Auxilium, Actavis, AstraZeneca, Alcon,
Daichi Sankyo, Shire, Activis, and others. Our failure to retain existing customers or expand with new customers could negatively
impact our business.
We
are dependent on a concentrated group of customers
Our
revenues are concentrated in approximately 25 customers, primarily large pharmaceutical manufacturers and large advertising agencies.
Approximately 64% of our revenue came from our largest five customers. Loss of one or more of these customers could have a significant
negative impact on our operating results.
We
may be unable to support our technology to further scale our operations successfully.
Our
plan is to grow rapidly through further integration of our technology in electronic platforms. Our growth will place significant
demands on our management and technology development, as well as our financial, administrative and other resources. We cannot
guarantee that any of the systems, procedures and controls we put in place will be adequate to support the commercialization of
our operations. Our operating results will depend substantially on the ability of our officers and key employees to manage changing
business conditions and to implement and improve our financial, administrative and other resources. If we are unable to respond
to and manage changing business conditions, or the scale of our products, services and operations, then the quality of our services,
our ability to retain key personnel and our business could be harmed.
If
we are unable to maintain our contracts with electronic prescription platforms, our business will suffer.
We
are reliant upon our contracts with leading electronic prescribing platforms, including Allscripts, Dr. First, Quest Diagnostics,
and others. We will need to maintain these relationships as well as diversify them. The inability to do so could adversely impact
our business. Loss of any of these contracts would adversely affect our revenue and impede our ability to grow revenues.
Our
agreements with electronic prescription platforms are subject to audit, which could subject us to additional costs that might
affect our results of operations.
Our
agreements with our electronic prescription platform partners provide for revenue sharing payments to the platform partners based
on the revenue we generate through the platform. These payments are subject to audit by our partners, at their cost, and if there
is a dispute as to the calculation, we may be liable for additional payments. If an underpayment is determined to be in excess
of a certain amount, for example 10%, some agreements would require us to pay for the cost of the audit, as well.
Developing
and implementing new and updated applications, features and services for our portals may be more difficult than expected, may
take longer and cost more than expected and may not result in sufficient increases in revenue to justify the costs.
We
have completed the development and migration of SampleMD 2.0’s on-demand, rule based content delivery platform. The system
can now manage up to 1 million rules and return the appropriate content within 1 second. This allows unsurpassed response time
to avoid delays, and the ability to meet the upcoming dramatic scale we expect. Despite the launch of Sample MD 2.0, attracting
and retaining users of our portals requires us to continue to improve the technology underlying those portals and to continue
to develop new and updated applications, features and services for those portals. If we are unable to do so on a timely basis
or if we are unable to implement new applications, features and services without disruption to our existing ones, we may lose
potential users and clients. The costs of development of these enhancements may negatively impact our ability to achieve profitability.
We
rely on a combination of internal development, strategic relationships, licensing and acquisitions to develop our portals and
related applications, features and services. Our development and/or implementation of new technologies, applications, features
and services may cost more than expected, may take longer than originally expected, may require more testing than originally anticipated
and may require the acquisition of additional personnel and other resources. There can be no assurance that the revenue opportunities
from any new or updated technologies, applications, features or services will justify the amounts spent.
If
we are unable to adhere to the regulatory and competitive climate in which we operate, we could be materially and negatively impacted.
Do
to the labyrinth of regulations in healthcare space, state and federal, as well as political sensitivity of healthcare delivery
our business model could be negatively impacted or fail.
The
markets in which we operate are competitive, continually evolving and, in some cases, subject to rapid change.
| ● | Our
portals face competition from numerous other companies, both in attracting users and
in generating revenue from advertisers and sponsors. We compete for users with online
services and Web sites that provide savings on medications and healthcare products, including
both commercial sites and not-for-profit sites. We compete for advertisers and sponsors
with: health-related web sites; general purpose consumer web sites that offer specialized
health sub-channels; other high-traffic web sites that include both healthcare-related
and non-healthcare-related content and services; search engines that provide specialized
health search; and advertising networks that aggregate traffic from multiple sites. |
| ● | Our
healthcare provider portals compete with: providers of healthcare decision-support tools
and online health management applications; wellness and disease management vendors; and
health information services and health management offerings of healthcare benefits companies
and their affiliates. |
Many
of our competitors have greater financial, technical, product development, marketing and other resources than we do. These organizations
may be better known than we are and have more customers or users than we do. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able
to compete successfully against these organizations or any alliances they have formed or may form. Since there are no substantial
barriers to entry into the markets in which our public portals participate, we expect that competitors will continue to enter
these markets.
Developments
in the healthcare industry could adversely affect our business
Most
of our revenue is derived from the healthcare industry and could be affected by changes affecting healthcare spending. We are
particularly dependent on pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies for our advertising and sponsorship revenue.
General
reductions in expenditures by healthcare industry participants could result from, among other things:
government
regulation or private initiatives that affect the manner in which healthcare providers interact with patients, payers or other
healthcare industry participants, including changes in pricing or means of delivery of healthcare products and services;
| ● | government
regulation prohibiting the use of coupons by patients covered by federally funded health
insurance programs; |
| ● | consolidation
of healthcare industry participants; |
| ● | reductions
in governmental funding for healthcare; and |
| ● | adverse
changes in business or economic conditions affecting healthcare payers or providers,
pharmaceutical, biotechnology or medical device companies or other healthcare industry
participants. |
Even
if general expenditures by industry participants remain the same or increase, developments in the healthcare industry may result
in reduced spending in some or all of the specific market segments that we serve or are planning to serve. For example, use of
our products and services could be affected by:
| ● | changes
in the design of health insurance plans; |
| ● | a
decrease in the number of new drugs or medical devices coming to market; and |
| ● | decrease
in marketing expenditures by pharmaceutical or medical device companies, including as
a result of governmental regulation or private initiatives that discourage or prohibit
advertising or sponsorship activities by pharmaceutical or medical device companies. |
In
addition, our customers’ expectations regarding pending or potential industry developments may also affect their budgeting
processes and spending plans with respect to products and services of the types we provide.
The
healthcare industry has changed significantly in recent years and we expect that significant changes will continue to occur. However,
the timing and impact of developments in the healthcare industry are difficult to predict. We cannot assure you that the markets
for our products and services will continue to exist at current levels or that we will have adequate technical, financial and
marketing resources to react to changes in those markets.
Because
we are embroiled in various lawsuits from time to time with uncertain consequences, the outcome of potential judgments may negatively
affect our financial condition and results of operations.
We
are currently involved in litigation and other disputes, as described in Item 3 of this report. As we continue to grow, we can
expect to have to deal with lawsuits that affect our business. Lawsuits are uncertain and involve a substantial degree of risk.
If we are unable to successfully prosecute or defend these actions, our financial condition and results of operations could suffer.
Our
success is dependent in part on obtaining, maintaining and enforcing our proprietary rights and our ability to avoid infringing
on the proprietary rights of others.
We
seek patent protection for those inventions and technologies for which we believe such protection is suitable and is likely to
provide a competitive advantage to us. Because patent applications in the United States are maintained in secrecy until either
the patent application is published or a patent is issued, we may not be aware of third-party patents, patent applications and
other intellectual property relevant to our products that may block our use of our intellectual property or may be used in third-party
products that compete with our products and processes. In the event a competitor or other party successfully challenges our products,
processes, patents or licenses or claims that we have infringed upon their intellectual property, we could incur substantial litigation
costs defending against such claims, be required to pay royalties, license fees or other damages or be barred from using the intellectual
property at issue, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
We
also rely substantially on trade secrets, proprietary technology, nondisclosure and other contractual agreements, and technical
measures to protect our technology, application, design, and manufacturing know-how, and work actively to foster continuing technological
innovation to maintain and protect our competitive position. We cannot assure you that steps taken by us to protect our intellectual
property and other contractual agreements for our business will be adequate, that our competitors will not independently develop
or patent substantially equivalent or superior technologies or be able to design around patents that we may receive, or that our
intellectual property will not be misappropriated.
Our
business will suffer if our network systems fail or become unavailable.
A
reduction in the performance, reliability and availability of our network infrastructure would harm our ability to distribute
our products to our users, as well as our reputation and ability to attract and retain customers. Our systems and operations could
be damaged or interrupted by fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, Internet breakdown, earthquake and similar events.
Our systems could also be subject to viruses, break-ins, sabotage, acts of terrorism, acts of vandalism, hacking, cyber-terrorism
and similar misconduct. We might not carry adequate business interruption insurance to compensate us for losses that may occur
from a system outage. Any system error or failure that causes interruption in availability of our product or an increase in response
time could result in a loss of potential customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
and results of operations. If we suffer sustained or repeated interruptions, then our products and services could be less attractive
to our users and our business would be materially harmed.
If
we are unable to manage growth, our operations could be adversely affected.
Our
progress is expected to require the full utilization of our management, financial and other resources. Our ability to manage growth
effectively will depend on our ability to improve and expand operations, including our financial and management information systems,
and to recruit, train and manage personnel. There can be no absolute assurance that management will be able to manage growth effectively.
If
we do not properly manage the growth of our business, we may experience significant strains on our management and operations and
disruptions in our business. Various risks arise when companies and industries grow quickly. If our business or industry grows
too quickly, our ability to meet customer demand in a timely and efficient manner could be challenged. We may also experience
development delays as we seek to meet increased demand for our products. Our failure to properly manage the growth that we or
our industry might experience could negatively impact our ability to execute on our operating plan and, accordingly, could have
an adverse impact on our business, our cash flow and results of operations, and our reputation with our current or potential customers.
Our
business is subject to changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure.
Because
our common stock is publicly traded, we are subject to certain rules and regulations of federal and state entities charged with
the protection of investors and the oversight of companies whose securities are publicly traded. These entities have continued
to develop additional regulations and requirements in response to laws enacted by Congress, most notably the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002. Complying with these new regulations has resulted in, and is likely to continue to result in, increased general and administrative
costs and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating and other business activities to compliance activities.
Risks
Relating to Our Securities
If
a market for our common stock does not develop, shareholders may be unable to sell their shares.
Our
common stock is quoted under the symbol “OPRX” on the OTCQB operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc., an electronic inter-dealer
quotation medium for equity securities. We do not currently have an active trading market. There can be no assurance that an active
and liquid trading market will develop or, if developed, that it will be sustained.
Our
securities are very thinly traded. Accordingly, it may be difficult to sell shares of our common stock without significantly depressing
the value of the stock. Unless we are successful in developing continued investor interest in our stock, sales of our stock could
continue to result in major fluctuations in the price of the stock.
Because
we are subject to the “Penny Stock” rules, the level of trading activity in our stock may be reduced.
The
Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any listed, trading
equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to
certain exemptions. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt
from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks
in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny
stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the
market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that
prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable
investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements
may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the
penny stock rules which may increase the difficulty Purchasers may experience in attempting to liquidate such securities.
We
do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.
We
do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common
stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the board
of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your
investment will occur only if our stock price appreciates.
Provisions
in the Nevada Revised Statutes and our Bylaws could make it very difficult for an investor to bring any legal actions against
our directors or officers for violations of their fiduciary duties or could require us to pay any amounts incurred by our directors
or officers in any such actions.
Members
of our board of directors and our officers will have no liability for breaches of their fiduciary duty of care as a director or
officer, except in limited circumstances, pursuant to provisions in the Nevada Revised Statutes and our Bylaws as authorized by
the Nevada Revised Statutes. Specifically, Section 78.138 of the Nevada Revised Statutes provides that a director or officer is
not individually liable to the company or its shareholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act
in his or her capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that (1) the director’s or officer’s act or failure
to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer and (2) his or her breach of those duties
involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. This provision is intended to afford directors and officers
protection against and to limit their potential liability for monetary damages resulting from suits alleging a breach of the duty
of care by a director or officer. Accordingly, you may be unable to prevail in a legal action against our directors or officers
even if they have breached their fiduciary duty of care. In addition, our Bylaws allow us to indemnify our directors and officers
from and against any and all costs, charges and expenses resulting from their acting in such capacities with us. This means that
if you were able to enforce an action against our directors or officers, in all likelihood, we would be required to pay any expenses
they incurred in defending the lawsuit and any judgment or settlement they otherwise would be required to pay. Accordingly, our
indemnification obligations could divert needed financial resources and may adversely affect our business, financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows, and adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
All
of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus are being sold by the Selling Shareholders. See “Selling Shareholders”
below. We will not receive any proceeds from these sales of shares of our common stock. A portion of the shares covered by this
prospectus are issuable upon exercise of the Agent Warrants to purchase our common stock. Upon any exercise of the Agent Warrants
for cash, such Selling Shareholders would pay us the exercise price of the warrants. Cash received from exercise of Agent Warrants
will be used for general corporate purposes. Additionally, the Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis. If any Agent Warrants
are exercised on a cashless basis, we would not receive any cash payment from such Selling Shareholders upon any exercise of such
Agent Warrants.
The
Selling Shareholders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the Selling Shareholders for
brokerage, accounting, tax, or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the Selling Shareholders in disposing of the shares.
We will bear all other costs, fees, and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the shares covered by this prospectus,
including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, and fees and expenses of our counsel and our accountants.
DETERMINATION
OF OFFERING PRICE
The
Selling Shareholders will determine at what price they may sell the offered shares, and such sales may be made at prevailing market
prices, or at privately negotiated prices.
SELLING
SHAREHOLDERS
We have prepared this prospectus
to allow the Selling Shareholders or their successors, assignees or other permitted transferees to sell or otherwise dispose of,
from time to time, up to 849,139 shares of our Common Stock. Of the shares of common stock being offered under this prospectus
804,139 shares are able to be acquired pursuant to the Agent Warrants we issued in connection with our March 2014 Private Placement,
which Agent Warrants are currently exercisable. The remaining 45,000 Advisory Shares were issued in connection with an Advisory
Agreement with Merriman. We have issued and delivered to Merriman the 45,000 shares of common stock that were earned under the
Advisory Agreement as of the date of execution.
The
Agent Warrants and Advisory Shares were sold pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D under
the Securities Act. In connection therewith, the investors made to us certain representations, warranties, covenants, and conditions
customary for private placement investments.
The
table below presents information regarding the Selling Shareholders and the shares of our Common Stock that they may sell or otherwise
dispose of from time to time under this prospectus. Percentages of beneficial ownership are based upon 22,912,319 shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding as of April 17, 2015. Beneficial ownership is determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities and including any securities that grant the Selling
Shareholders the right to acquire Common Stock within 60 days of April 17, 2015. Unless otherwise noted, each person or group
identified possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares, subject to community property laws where applicable.
We
do not know when or in what amounts the Selling Shareholders may sell or otherwise dispose of the shares covered hereby. We currently
have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the Selling Shareholders regarding the sale of any of the shares by them
other than the registration rights agreement described below. The Selling Shareholders might not sell any or all of the shares
covered by this prospectus or may sell or dispose of some or all of the shares other than pursuant to this prospectus. Because
the Selling Shareholders may not sell or otherwise dispose of some or all of the shares covered by this prospectus and because
there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale or other disposition of any of the
shares, we cannot estimate the number of the shares that will be held by the Selling Shareholders after completion of the offering.
Each
Selling Shareholder has indicated to us that neither it nor any of its affiliates has held any position or office or had any other
material relationship with us in the past three years except as described in the footnotes to the table.
The
shares of common stock being offered under this prospectus may be offered for sale from time to time during the period the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part remains effective, by or for the accounts of the Selling Shareholders named below.

As of the time of the purchase of
the securities to be resold under this Prospectus, the Selling Shareholders either received their securities as compensation in
connection with investment banking services provided in connection with the March 2014 Private Placement, or purchased the securities
in the ordinary course of business and represented to us that they did not have any agreements or understandings, directly or
indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
The
Selling Shareholders, or their partners, pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors that receive the shares and their corresponding
registration in accordance with the registration rights agreement to which the Selling Shareholder is party (each also a selling
shareholder for purposes of this prospectus), may sell up to all of the shares of our common stock shown in the table above pursuant
to this Prospectus in one or more transactions from time to time as described below under “Plan of Distribution.”
However, the Selling Shareholders are not obligated to sell any of the shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus.
Information
about the Selling Shareholders may change from time to time. Any changed information with respect to which we are given notice
will be included in prospectus supplements.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We
are registering the shares of Common Stock to permit the resale of these shares of Common Stock by the Selling Shareholders and
any of their transferees, pledgees, assignees, donees, and successors-in-interest from time to time after the date of this prospectus.
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the Selling Shareholders of the shares of Common Stock. Upon any exercise
of the Agent Warrants by payment of cash, however, we will receive the exercise price of the Agent Warrants. We will bear all
fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of Common Stock.
Each
Selling Shareholder (the “Selling Shareholders”) of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest
may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the OTC Bulletin Board, OTCQB or any other stock
exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed
or negotiated prices. A Selling Shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:
| ● | ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
| ● | block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may
position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| ● | purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| ● | an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| ● | privately
negotiated transactions; |
| ● | settlement
of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of
which this prospectus is a part; |
| ● | in
transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Shareholders to sell
a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security; |
| ● | through
the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an
options exchange or otherwise; |
| ● | a
combination of any such methods of sale; or |
| ● | any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The
Selling Shareholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers
engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive
commissions or discounts from the Selling Shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities,
from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an
agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a
principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
In
connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions
with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of
hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Shareholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close
out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling
Shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one
or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered
by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus
(as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The
Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters”
within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers
or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts
under the Securities Act. Each Selling Shareholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement
or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive
fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).
The
Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The
Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Shareholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act.
Because
Selling Shareholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject
to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered
by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than
under this prospectus. The Selling Shareholders have advised us that there is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in
connection with the proposed sale of the resale securities by the Selling Shareholders.
We
agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling
Shareholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without
the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act
or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under
the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed
brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered
hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the
registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under
applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not
simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined
in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Shareholders will be subject to applicable
provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of
purchases and sales of securities of the common stock by the Selling Shareholders or any other person. We will make copies of
this prospectus available to the Selling Shareholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus
to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
In September 2014, we initiated
litigation against Shadron Stastney, the Company’s previous CEO, in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Michigan
as a result of a dispute related to his separation agreement. Mr. Stastney alleged damages related to the non-registration of
shares that he was granted as part of his separation agreement signed in September 2013. Under the terms of the contract we are
not obligated to register the shares and we deny any obligation to do so. We have requested declarative relief from the court
and also requested an injunction from the court preventing Mr. Stastney from continuing to pursue his claims. Mr. Stastney has
filed a counterclaim requesting damages of $450,000 related to the nonregistration of his shares.
In March 2015, we initiated litigation
against LDM Group, LLC and PDR Network, LLC in the United States District Court in the Eastern District of Missouri related to
the breach by LDM, and PDR as successor, of the settlement agreement signed February 28, 2014 related to previous litigation with
LDM. LDM has failed to live up to its obligations under the settlement agreement including, but not limited to, not allowing us
to distribute its eCoupon programs in the LDM network, not allowing us to distribute the LDM patient education programs, and not
providing other information required under the settlement agreement. We are seeking enforcement of the settlement agreement and
is seeking damages in an amount at least equal to the amounts paid to date to LDM under the settlement agreement, which approximates
$1.0 million, as well as damages for lost income and business value as a result of LDM’s breach of the agreement.
In March 2015, we also initiated
litigation against PDR Network, LLC in the United States District Court in the District of New Jersey as a result of PDR’s
breach of the Master Services Agreement between the parties requiring PDR to exclusively use our eCoupon solution. We assert that
PDR’s acquisition of LDM and the use of the LDM network to distribute coupons by PDR violates the agreement between the
parties and is seeking damages in an amount at least equal the amounts we have paid to date to LDM under the settlement agreement,
which approximates $1.0 million, as well as damages for lost income and business value as a result of PDR’s actions.
In May 2015, we filed an amended
complaint in the Missouri case to consolidate the two cases and withdrew the case against PDR Networks in the United States District
Court in the District of New Jersey, without predjudice.
In early 2014 we learned that Mr.
Milton Wilpon (“Mr. Wilpon”) of New Jersey claimed to have obtained a default judgment for approximately $929,000
in the New Jersey Superior Court, Essex County (the “Judgment”) against a predecessor of the Company and was seeking
to amend the Judgment to add us as a judgment debtor. The Judgment was entered in 2006 when the predecessor of the Company was
a dormant shell company and the Judgment allegedly related to a settlement agreement that was breached in 2001 (the “Settlement
Agreement”). We appeared in the action and filed a motion to vacate the Judgment on several grounds, including that it appeared
that the Summons and Complaint were never properly served and that plaintiff had never filed an arbitration as was required by
the Settlement Agreement. In September 2014, the Court granted our motion and vacated the Judgment in its entirety and dismissed
the action.
In December 2014, we were served with a copy of a Demand for Arbitration filed by
Mr. Wilpon relating to his claims under the Settlement Agreement. On February 24, 2015, we filed an appearance with the AAA objecting
to the arbitration on several grounds, including (1) that claims arose in 2001 and are barred by the applicable statute of limitations;
(2) plaintiff did not properly serve and file the demand for arbitration and (3) plaintiff has not followed the proper procedure
for the appointment of an arbitrator as provided by the Settlement Agreement. We petitioned the AAA to terminate the proceeding
and in April 2015, the proceeding was terminated.

Audit
Committee
We
do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee. The entire board of directors performs the functions of an audit
committee, but no written charter governs the actions of the board of directors when performing the functions of that would generally
be performed by an audit committee. The board of directors approves the selection of our independent accountants and meets and
interacts with the independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial reporting. In addition, the board of directors
reviews the scope and results of the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with management and the independent accountants
our annual operating results, considers the adequacy of our internal accounting procedures and considers other auditing and accounting
matters including fees to be paid to the independent auditor and the performance of the independent auditor.
For
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014, the board of directors:
1.
Reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management, and
2.
Reviewed and discussed the written disclosures and the letter from our independent auditors on the matters relating to the auditor's
independence.
Based
upon the board of directors’ review and discussion of the matters above, the board of directors authorized inclusion of
the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 to be included in this Prospectus filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES
The
following descriptions are summaries of the material terms that are included in our amended and restated articles of incorporation
(as amended) and our bylaws (as amended) as well as the specific agreements such descriptions relate to. This summary is qualified
in its entirety by the specific terms and provisions contained in our restated articles of incorporation, bylaws and the specific
agreements described herein, copies of which we have filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus
is a part, and by the provisions of applicable law.
Overview
Authorized
Capital Stock
Our
authorized capital stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001
per share. As of April 17, 2015 there were 22,912,319 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and 0 shares of our preferred
stock issued and outstanding.
Common
Stock
Our
common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election
of directors. Except as otherwise required by law or provided in any resolution adopted by our board of directors with respect
to any series of preferred stock, the holders of our common stock will possess all voting power. Generally, all matters to be
voted on by stockholders must be approved by a majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a plurality) of the votes
entitled to be cast by all shares of our common stock that are present in person or represented by proxy, subject to any voting
rights granted to holders of any preferred stock. Holders of our common stock representing fifty percent (50%) of our capital
stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any
meeting of our stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental
corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation. Our Articles of Incorporation
do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.
Subject
to any preferential rights of any outstanding series of preferred stock created by our board of directors from time to time, the
holders of shares of our common stock will be entitled to such cash dividends as may be declared from time to time by our board
of directors from funds available therefore.
Subject
to any preferential rights of any outstanding series of preferred stock created from time to time by our board of directors, upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of shares of our common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata all assets
available for distribution to such holders.
In
the event of any merger or consolidation with or into another company in connection with which shares of our common stock are
converted into or exchangeable for shares of stock, other securities or property (including cash), all holders of our common stock
will be entitled to receive the same kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash). Holders
of our common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our
common stock.
Preferred
Stock
Our
board of directors may become authorized to authorize preferred shares of stock and to divide the authorized shares of our preferred
stock into one or more series, each of which must be so designated as to distinguish the shares of each series of preferred stock
from the shares of all other series and classes. Our board of directors is authorized, within any limitations prescribed by law
and our articles of incorporation, to fix and determine the designations, rights, qualifications, preferences, limitations and
terms of the shares of any series of preferred stock including, but not limited to, the following:
|
(1) |
The number of shares
constituting that series and the distinctive designation of that series, which may be by distinguishing number, letter or
title; |
|
(2) |
The dividend rate
on the shares of that series, whether dividends will be cumulative, and if so, from which date(s), and the relative rights
of priority, if any, of payment of dividends on shares of that series; |
|
(3) |
Whether that series
will have voting rights, in addition to the voting rights provided by law, and, if so, the terms of such voting rights; |
|
(4) |
Whether that series
will have conversion privileges, and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion, including provision for adjustment
of the conversion rate in such events as the Board of Directors determines; |
|
(5) |
Whether or not the
shares of that series will be redeemable, and, if so, the terms and conditions of such redemption, including the date or date
upon or after which they are redeemable, and the amount per share payable in case of redemption, which amount may vary under
different conditions and at different redemption dates; |
|
(6) |
Whether that series
will have a sinking fund for the redemption or purchase of shares of that series, and, if so, the terms and amount of such
sinking fund; |
|
(7) |
The rights of the
shares of that series in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation,
and the relative rights of priority, if any, of payment of shares of that series; and |
|
(8) |
Any other relative
rights, preferences and limitations of that series. |
Registration
Rights
The
Shares Underlying Warrants Issued in Connection With the March 2014 Private Placement Financing
In
connection with the March 2014 Private Placement, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement
required us to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with shares sold in the
March 2014 Private Placement. We filed a registration statement that went effective on May 28, 2014 to comply with the terms of
the Registration Rights Agreement. In addition, we granted piggyback registration rights to the Placement Agents in the March
2014 Private Placement, which comprise the shares of common stock underlying the Agent Warrants that are being registered herein.
We are filing this registration statement to maintain the registered status of those shares underlying the Agent Warrants.
The
Shares Issued in Connection with the Merriman Capital, Inc. Advisory Agreement
On February 23, 2015, we entered into the
Advisory Agreement with Merriman. We granted registration rights to Merriman concerning the 45,000 shares in the Advisory Agreement.
Provisions
in Our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws That Would Delay, Defer or Prevent a Change in Control
Our
articles of incorporation authorize our board of directors to issue a class of preferred stock commonly known as a "blank
check" preferred stock. Specifically, the preferred stock may be issued from time to time by the board of directors as shares
of one (1) or more classes or series. Our board of directors, subject to the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and limitations
imposed by law, is authorized to adopt resolutions; to issue the shares; to fix the number of shares; to change the number of
shares constituting any series; and to provide for or change the following: the voting powers; designations; preferences; and
relative, participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions, including the following:
dividend rights, including whether dividends are cumulative; dividend rates; terms of redemption, including sinking fund provisions;
redemption prices; conversion rights and liquidation preferences of the shares constituting any class or series of the preferred
stock.
In
each such case, we will not need any further action or vote by our shareholders. One of the effects of undesignated preferred
stock may be to enable the board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by
means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise, and thereby to protect the continuity of our management. The issuance
of shares of preferred stock pursuant to the board of director's authority described above may adversely affect the rights of
holders of common stock. For example, preferred stock issued by us may rank prior to the common stock as to dividend rights, liquidation
preference or both, may have full or limited voting rights and may be convertible into shares of common stock. Accordingly, the
issuance of shares of preferred stock may discourage bids for the common stock at a premium or may otherwise adversely affect
the market price of the common stock.
Dividend
Policy
We
have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings,
if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable
future.
Share
Purchase Warrants
We
had warrants outstanding to purchase 1,854,139 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $1.69 as of
December 31, 2014.
Options
We
had options outstanding to purchase 1,307,500 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $1.31 as of December
31, 2014.
Convertible
Securities
We
have not issued and do not have outstanding any securities convertible into shares of our common stock or any rights convertible
or exchangeable into shares of our common stock.
Certain
Anti-Takeover Provisions
Nevada
Anti-Takeover Laws
Nevada
Revised Statutes sections 78.378 to 78.379 provide state regulation over the acquisition of a controlling interest in certain
Nevada corporations unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation provide that the provisions of these sections
do not apply. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not state that these provisions do not apply. The statute creates a
number of restrictions on the ability of a person or entity to acquire control of a Nevada company by setting down certain rules
of conduct and voting restrictions in any acquisition attempt, among other things. The statute is limited to corporations that
are organized in the state of Nevada and that have 200 or more stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and
residents of the State of Nevada; and does business in the State of Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation. Because
of these conditions, the statute currently does not apply to our company.

DISCLOSURE
OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
FOR SECURITIES
ACT LIABILITIES.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling
persons pursuant to the following provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the shares being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS
Company
Highlights For 2014
In
2014 and into 2015, our company continues to be focused on four key operational areas:
| 1. | Expand
pharmaceutical brands and budgets |
| 2. | Expand
physician utilization in our current EHR Network |
| 3. | Expand
our promotional network in other EHRs and platforms |
| 4. | Expand
infrastructure and resources to fully support and exploit each of the above three |
Per
this focus, we were able to demonstrate success in each during 2014 through:
| ● | increased
sales of approximately 39% over 2013 |
| ● | increased
promotional transactions of approximately 26% over those in 2013. |
| ● | distributed
eCoupons related to approximately 80 different brands. |
| ● | generated
operating income of approximately $400,000, excluding non-cash expenses. |
| ● | successfully
launching our SampleMD e-coupon solution within Quest Diagnostics’ Care360 EMR
and eHealthline networks. |
| ● | continued
acquisition of new pharmaceutical manufacturers and brands promoting through our platforms. |
| ● | hiring
of key senior level personnel, including a highly experienced financial executive as
CFO and a former global marketing director from AstraZeneca to lead east coast sales,
while expanded our Board of Directors with seasoned executives. |
| ● | acquisition
of $10 million dollars in new capital to exercise the negotiated buyout of Vicis, which
netted out an additional $2.8 million dollars to us, and a reduction of approximately
7 million in potential fully diluted shares. |
| ● | completion
and launch of the SampleMD 2.0 technology platform to support growth and are upgrading
to Oracle database software to further improve system and reporting capacity. |
| ● | conducting
and proving an outstanding Return on Investment associated with our pharmaceutical promotions
through three independent analytics firms involving multiple pharmaceutical brands and
manufacturers. |
| ● | unveiling
VoucherDVM and engaged leading platforms to offer automated vet product savings. The
company has formalized an agreement with National Veterinary Associates, a leading national
hospital network, to beta launch in second quarter of 2015. |
We
generated positive cash flow from operations in 2014, excluding working capital fluctuations, and we expect to continue to do
so in 2015, as well as to be profitable during the upcoming year based on the expected escalation of revenues.
Our
success in acquiring, integrating and expanding into new promotional EHR/eRx platforms continues to grow as well. We are in the
process of completing the initial rollout of brands into the Practice Fusion network, as well as discussing 2015 rollout dates
with other potential networks.
In
the fourth quarter of 2014, we signed an agreement with Practice Fusion, the largest cloud-based electronic health records (EHR)
platform, to integrate and automate our patient savings and support system to enable Practice Fusion prescribers to more efficiently
help patients better afford and adhere to their prescribed medications. Practice Fusion’s EHR is used by a community of
more than 112,000 active medical professionals monthly with over 91 million patient records and should have a significant impact
on our prescribing reach and sales once live. We anticipate that the integration will be completed early in the second quarter
of 2015.
We
are enforcing our agreements to integrate our promotions within LDM/PDR’s network of over 100,000 physicians and work collectively
to integrate into NextGen. This delay in implementation of agreed terms has resulted in significant loss of revenue and profits
to OptimizeRx. Thus we are aggressively seeking multiple strategies, including legal, to address and resolve this.
In
March 2015, we signed an agreement with HCA Information Technology & Services, Inc.to pilot our eCoupon promotional system
within their network. HCA is the largest hospital system in the nation.
We
also signed our first agreement with National Veterinary Associates (NVA), one of the largest veterinary hospital systems in the
nation.
Pharmaceutical
Sales and Marketing Updates
Our
sales team continues to expand opportunities within existing and new clients. We are focused on adding additional brands at existing
clients, expanding the utilization of our network for existing brands, and obtaining new clients.
Additionally,
we are expanding our non e-Coupon services as follows:
| ● | We
will focus on our New Drug File Integration. |
| ● | We
will begin a test rollout of our demand drug rep and sample request with two Urology
EHR platforms to provide immediate access to assigned drug reps. Drug rep access via
cold calling has become a very inefficient way to support and market to physician offices.
This provides a novel, potentially ground breaking new way to increase access and meaningful
support by reps in a more efficient, effective manner. |
| ● | ePrescribe
Training – we have multiple opportunities pending to leverage our partnership with
WPP/Grey to train representatives on understanding and leveraging EHR sales opportunities. |
| ● | VoucherDVM
- we continue to advance our negotiations with each of the leading veterinarian technology
platforms and have signed an agreement with National Veterinary Associates, one of the
largest veterinary groups in the U.S., to initiate a beta launch within the second quarter
of 2015. |
We
are also continuing to ramp up our marketing efforts as follows:
| ● | Held
multiple meetings generated through Pharma to bring on new Health Systems/ePrescribe
Platforms. |
| ● | Spoke
at Coupon and Co-Pay Off-set Strategies Conference. |
| ● | Spoke
at the Noble Financial Capital Markets Eleventh Annual Equity Conference at Club Med. |
| ● | Sponsored
the 2nd Annual ePrescribe/EHR Conference. |
| ● | Developed
and distributed a White Paper to demonstrate the eCoupon ROI to Pharmaceutical Manufacturers. |
| ● | Through
our partnership with Grey Healthcare, rebranded our promotional marketing items, including
new brochures, presentations, and digital media. |
With
the growth of both our pharmaceutical products and our distribution network, we expect that our distribution of e-coupons will
continue to increase substantially over last year.
Financial
Update
We
generated positive cash flow from operations, when ignoring working capital fluctuations, of approximately $400,000 in 2014 as
set forth in the following table.

Operational
Update
In
2015, we are intensively focused on increasing physician utilization of our partner networks. Prior to the launch of the Practice
Fusion network, the total reach of our partner networks was approximately 300,000 providers. However, only approximately 100,000
providers have access to eCoupon functionality. Approximately 65,000 providers have used our eCoupon functionality at least once,
but only approximately 20,000 providers actually use the networks regularly at the present time. We are working individually with
each of our partners based on their particular situation to improve workflow to increase coupon utilization by those providers
that have access, obtain access for those providers that currently do not have e-coupon access, and increase overall revenue derived
from each channel. We believe there is significant revenue growth available within our existing brands by better utilization of
our existing partner networks in addition to the revenue growth provided by new brands and new network partners.
Technology
Updates
To
support our growth, we have completed the development and migration of SampleMD 2.0’s on-demand, rule based content delivery
platform. The system can now manage up to 1 million rules and return the appropriate content within 1 second. This allows unsurpassed
response time to avoid delays, and the ability to meet the upcoming dramatic scale we expect.
We
have launched downloadable “wrapper” code, which streamlines the integration requirements for our solution from a
few weeks to a few days, if EHR channel partners choose to utilize this method. This addresses one of the biggest hurdles we face
in getting health systems and EHRs to implement our system, given the extensive demand on their available technical resources.
On
top of building out our updated software solution, we also updated our infrastructure by replacing and updating our computers
in a high availability environment, taking greater precautions for security and building out the architecture to facilitate disaster
recovery with a secondary facilitated computer environment. We believe this technology investment will increase performance, simplify
integrations, insure availability and protect the investments of our shareholders. We will also be migrating our platform to Oracle
database software to support our anticipated growth requirements.
Other
Key Events in 2014
During
2014, we also successfully completed a $10 million capital raise and exercised the option to redeem Vicis Capital Master Fund’s
holdings in our company. By successfully executing these initiatives we reduced potential fully diluted shares by approximately
7 million and provided an additional $2.8 million in working capital to support our growth and eliminate dividend payments and
other unfavorable provisions of Vicis’ preferred stock.
We
added two new outside members to our Board of Directors. Gus Halas has an extensive operating background at a variety of companies
across a wide range of industries. He brings broad based business and investor perspectives to our senior leadership and is a
real asset to us as we hone our strategy and further position ourselves for growth acceleration. Dr. Jack Pinney brings broad
based medical knowledge and extensive experience in physician practice and an important user perspective to our Board of Directors
and works with us to better understand how we can help more healthcare providers utilize our automated access to needed information
and support for their practice and patients.
We
expanded our senior leadership team by adding Ed Berger, a former AstraZenica global marketing director with extensive contacts
throughout the pharmaceutical industry to lead our sales efforts on the east coast. We also added Doug Baker as our Chief Financial
Officer, a certified public accountant with extensive financial experience with public companies.
In
August 2014, we settled litigation related to a patent infringement case with Physicians Interactive Holdings, Inc. and Skyscape.com.
All actions and claims have been released. We believe this settlement will reduce legal expenses moving forward.
Summary
Despite
the lengthy sales cycle involved in creating this new e-coupon market, we remain very excited about our core e-coupon business
and expect acceleration to continue with the launch of additional channels and our joint pursuit of leading health systems with
our pharmaceutical partners. We expect our active network to grow substantially in 2015 and feel confident our active users will
double by the end of the second quarter of 2015 based on anticipated contractual and platform commitments being implemented.
We
are also pleased with the status of our current discussions with, and the value recognized by, leading veterinary platform providers
that are interested in partnering to deliver similar automated savings to animal owners—while allowing veterinarians to
remain competitive in their pharmacy business. These discussions are leading to expanded ways we can offer savings directly to
veterinarians—as well as to their pet owners outside of the vet clinics.
Principal
Products and Applications
Our
principal products and applications can be summarized as follows:
| ● | SampleMD
is a revolutionary virtual "Patient Support Center" that allows doctors and
staff to access a universe of sample vouchers, co-pay coupons and other patient support
through their EMR and/or e-Prescribe systems to search, print or electronically dispense
directly to patients and a national network of pharmacies. SampleMD eliminates the need
for physicians to manage and store physical drug samples by offering a more convenient
and efficient way to allocate, administer and track samples and co-pay savings provided
to their patients. Today, almost 60% of doctors’ offices ban or limit drug representatives
and the samples they offer. Although samples are still valuable, many healthcare systems
and doctors are looking for an easier, more effective way to increase affordable access
and adherence to their prescribed branded medications. Over 90% of our revenue comes
through activities related to our SampleMD platform. |
| ● | OPTIMIZEHR
– Our consulting practice focused on educating and working with pharmaceutical
manufacturers on identifying, formulating, and implementing new eRx media strategies
for promoting their products. Our consulting services include: 1) Drug File Integration
- a service to insure that the manufacturer’s drug is present in every ePrescribing
platform available; 2) Sales Force Training – a service to educate the extended
field sales force on this new integrated solution and what to look for within their client
base to insure maximum exposure of their bands; and 3) Strategy Development – a
service that assists manufactures in identifying and building a competitive strategy
to take advantage of this new digital frontier. Currently, this activity results in less
than 10% of our revenue, but we believe this represents a significant growth opportunity
for us. |
| ● | OPTIMIZERx.com
– Our Direct to Consumer Website is a portal to healthcare savings for patients
to centrally review and participate in prescription and healthcare savings and support
programs. To date, we have over 2.4 million members who have registered. We strive to
provide all the information and guidance that patients undergoing long-term pharmaceutical
treatments may require. Patients can search by their medication or their condition in
order to access educational information regarding their condition, information regarding
their medication, coupons for instant savings when they purchase their medications, information
on free drug trials, and guidance to any other savings programs available to them. At
the present time, we generate no revenue through this site, but we believe it represents
a significant potential future revenue source. |
Marketing
and Sales
We
continue to extend our marketing efforts to build both brand and capabilities awareness in the market. As previously discussed,
we continue to actively participate in industry and partner events such as exlPharma and the ACE – Allscripts Users Conference
as well as taking a lead sponsor position in the CBInet eRx and EHR conferences in March and October of 2014. We are also a cosponsor
of the March 2015 conference. During the course of the year, we also initiated and delivered successful email marketing campaigns,
which generated viable leads for our sales force.
In
2013, we also announced our strategic partnership with WPP/Grey Health Group, a leading agency within the healthcare marketplace.
We plan to continue to increase our marketing efforts with all of our strategic partners, as we intend to continue to promote
SampleMD and OPTIMIZERx primarily through the following:
| ● | Industry
and Partner Events; |
| ● | Public
Relations Campaigns; |
| ● | Direct
to Consumer Marketing; |
| ● | Trade
Media Advertising; |
| ● | Physician
Organizations and Associations; and |
| ● | Strategic
Relationships. |
Additionally,
in 2014, we hired a highly seasoned Sales and Marketing Executive, who has decades of global pharmaceutical marketing and sales
experience at AstraZeneca and elsewhere, as our Eastern Vice President of Sales. We continue to be alert for qualified sales personnel
and will expand our sales force as revenues continue to grow.
Competition
Our
SampleMD platform competes in the highly competitive pharmaceutical and healthcare advertising industry that is dominated by large
well-known companies with established names, solid market niches, wide arrays of product offerings and marketing networks. Coupon
offerings compete for pharmaceutical budgets with a variety of other forms of advertising and promotion.
Despite
these overall competitors, we do not have major competition in our space of the market. We have been experiencing a growing list
of potential partners whom either have content that want to deliver through the SampleMD engine and network, or whom have complementary
technology and want to integrate our solution as a channel partner, expanding our reach to clinicians. The primary competitors
in our space of the market are PDR Network, LLC and Physicians Interactive Holdings, Inc. However, we believe our breadth of brands
offered, extensive list of pharmaceutical clients, and the vast reach of our network give us a substantial advantage and allows
us to achieve a dominant position in the marketplace.
Intellectual
Property
In
2012, we were awarded a patent for our innovative SampleMD solution (US Patent No. 8,341,015). This award was a result of our
extensive research and development efforts. The awarded claims cover our ability to electronically process, display and distribute
eligible prescription savings on the medications and therapies healthcare providers wish to prescribe for their patients. We have
also submitted and will be preparing additional filings to protect our intellectual property on forthcoming solutions that will
further assist and support physicians, pharmacists and patients.
In
addition, we have hired Harness, Dickey & Pierce, a nationally ranked IP firm, to further expand and protect our intellectual
property. Through them, we have filed two additional patents on our technology. We believe our current and expanding IP will allow
us to continue being the leader in this rapidly growing space.
OPTIMIZERx
and SampleMD are both licensed trademarks of ours.
Government
Regulation
Fraud
and Abuse Laws
Anti-Kickback
Statutes
The
federal healthcare program Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, offering, receiving
or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, in exchange for or to induce either the referral of an individual for, or the
furnishing, arranging for or recommending a good or service for which payment may be made in whole or part under a federal healthcare
program such as Medicare or Medicaid. The definition of remuneration has been broadly interpreted to include anything of value,
including for example gifts, discounts, the furnishing of supplies or equipment, credit arrangements, payments of cash and waivers
of payments. Several courts have interpreted the statute's intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of an arrangement
involving remuneration is to induce referrals or otherwise generate business involving goods or services reimbursed in whole or
in part under federal healthcare programs, the statute has been violated. The law contains a few statutory exceptions, including
payments to bona fide employees, certain discounts and certain payments to group purchasing organizations. Violations can result
in significant penalties, imprisonment and exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs. Exclusion
of a manufacturer would preclude any federal healthcare program from paying for its products. In addition, kickback arrangements
can provide the basis for an action under the Federal False Claims Act, which is discussed in more detail below. The Anti-Kickback
Statute is broad and potentially prohibits many arrangements and practices that are lawful in businesses outside of the healthcare
industry. Recognizing that the Anti-Kickback Statute is broad and may technically prohibit many innocuous or beneficial arrangements,
the Office of Inspector General of Health and Human Services, or OIG, issued a series of regulations, known as the safe harbors,
beginning in July 1991. These safe harbors set forth provisions that, if all the applicable requirements are met, will assure
healthcare providers and other parties that they will not be prosecuted under the Anti-Kickback Statute. The failure of a transaction
or arrangement to fit precisely within one or more safe harbors does not necessarily mean that it is illegal or that prosecution
will be pursued. However, conduct and business arrangements that do not fully satisfy each applicable safe harbor may result in
increased scrutiny by government enforcement authorities such as the OIG. Arrangements that implicate the Anti-Kickback Law, and
that do not fall within a safe harbor, are analyzed by the OIG on a case-by-case basis. Government officials have focused recent
enforcement efforts on, among other things, the sales and marketing activities of healthcare companies, and recently have brought
cases against individuals or entities with personnel who allegedly offered unlawful inducements to potential or existing customers
in an attempt to procure their business. Settlements of these cases by healthcare companies have involved significant fines and/or
penalties and in some instances criminal pleas. In addition to the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute, many states have their own kickback
laws. Often, these laws closely follow the language of the federal law, although they do not always have the same exceptions or
safe harbors. In some states, these anti-kickback laws apply with respect to all payors, including commercial health insurance
companies.
False
Claims Laws
Federal
false claims laws prohibit any person from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, a false claim for payment to the
federal government or knowingly making, or causing to be made, a false statement to get a false claim paid. Manufacturers can
be held liable under false claims laws, even if they do not submit claims to the government, if they are found to have caused
submission of false claims. The Federal Civil False Claims Act also includes whistle blower provisions that allow private citizens
to bring suit against an entity or individual on behalf of the United States and to recover a portion of any monetary recovery.
Many of the recent highly publicized settlements in the healthcare industry related to sales and marketing practices have been
cases brought under the False Claims Act. The majority of states also have statutes or regulations similar to the federal false
claims laws, which apply to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs, or, in several states, apply
regardless of the payor. Sanctions under these federal and state laws may include civil monetary penalties, exclusion of a manufacturer's
products from reimbursement under government programs, criminal fines and imprisonment.
Privacy
and Security
The
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, and the rules promulgated there under require certain entities,
referred to as covered entities, to comply with established standards, including standards regarding the privacy and security
of protected health information, or PHI. HIPAA further requires that covered entities enter into agreements meeting certain regulatory
requirements with their business associates, as such term is defined by HIPAA, which, among other things, obligate the business
associates to safeguard the covered entity's PHI against improper use and disclosure. While not directly regulated by HIPAA, our
customers or distributors might face significant contractual liability pursuant to such an agreement if the business associate
breaches the agreement or causes the covered entity to fail to comply with HIPAA. It is possible that HIPPA compliance
could become a substantial regulatory burden and expense to our operations, although we do not believe that this will occur as
a general website publisher.
Employees
As
of December 31, 2014, we had 12 full time employees and 1 part time employee, in addition to contracted programmers, as needed,
through our established relationship with Simple eSolutions, a technical and programming resources partner. Additionally, we have
one contracted business development individual targeting new EMR channel and pharma clients.
Subsidiaries
We
conduct our operations through our wholly-owned subsidiary, OptimizeRx Michigan.
Description
of Property
Currently,
we do not own any real estate. Our principal executive offices are located at 400 Water Street, Suite 200, Rochester, Michigan,
48307. We initially entered into a 3 year lease for this 2,886 square foot facility, with a cost of $5,049.25 per month. We renewed
that lease for a two year period on December 1, 2014 for a monthly rental rate of $5,201.50. We believe that our properties are
adequate for our current needs, but growth potential may require larger facilities due to anticipated addition of personnel. We
do not have any policies regarding investments in real estate, securities or other forms of property.

Our success in acquiring, integrating
and expanding into new promotional EHR/eRx platforms continues to grow as well. We have launched our initial brands into Practice
Fusion on a limited basis and are anticipating expanded rollout throughout the second quarter. We are also working extensively
with our existing platforms to expand the reach of our eCoupon product to all of their providers, as well as increasing the utilization
of the eCoupon functionality by their existing users.
With the growth of both our pharmaceutical
products and our distribution network, we expect that our distribution of e-coupons will continue to increase over last year.
Operating Results
We finished the first quarter with
a loss of approximately $100,000, a substantial reduction over the same period last year, and we generated positive cash flow
from operations.
Results of Operations for the
Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014
Revenues
Our total revenue reported for the
three months ended March 31, 2015 was approximately $1.5 million, an increase of 15% over the approximately $1.3 million from
the same period in 2014. These increased revenues result from both increased pharmaceutical brands being promoted and expanded
distribution channels. We expect continued quarter over quarter revenue increases for the balance of 2015.
Cost of Sales
Our cost of sales, composed of revenue
share expense, increased over the same period in 2014 as a result of both the revenue increases and the LDM settlement signed
in March 2014. In addition, revenue share expense as a percentage of revenue in 2015 increased over the same period in 2014. In
the three month period, revenue share expense increased to approximately 51% of sales in 2015 from approximately 44% in the same
period in 2014.
These increases in revenue share
expense as a percentage of revenue result from a combination of factors, including product mix whereby a larger percentage of
overall revenues are subject to revenue share, the LDM settlement agreement which resulted in increased revenue share payments,
and increased distributions at channel partners with financial incentives to increase distributions that result in higher payments
per distribution. We expect revenue share expense as a percentage of revenue in future quarters to continue at levels similar
to that of the quarter ended March 31, 2015 as revenues subject to revenue share expense continues to increase as a percentage
of our overall revenues.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses decreased from
approximately $1.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 to approximately $850,000 for the same period in 2015,
a decrease of approximately 43%. The detail by major category is reflected in the table below.

Total Operating Expense | |
$ | 842,610 | | |
$ | 1,490,218 | |
The main reasons for the decrease
in operating expenses in 2015 are the lawsuit settlement in 2014, which resulted in a $400,000 payment to the plaintiff, and the
reduction in stock-based compensation from 2014 to 2015. Ignoring those two items, operating expenses increased approximately
17%, however the majority of those increases related to things implemented after the first quarter of 2014, as opposed to new
items in 2015. This would include new hires, as well as the addition of outside Directors and related compensation.
We expect our operating expenses
to continue to increase as we further implement our business plan and expand our operations, however, we do not expect those increases
to be significant in the near future. Professional fees are significantly affected by litigation, and we do have litigation in
progress, causing those fees to fluctuate from quarter to quarter.
Net Loss
Our net loss for the three months
ended March 31, 2015 was approximately $110,000 as compared to a loss of approximately $760,000 during the same period in 2014.
The reasons for specific components are discussed above. Overall, the decreased loss is mostly explained by the decrease in operating
expenses.
Results
of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013
Revenues
Our
total revenue reported for the year ended December 31, 2014 was approximately $6.5 million, an increase of 39% from the year ended
December 31, 2013. This increased revenue resulted from increases in all major revenue categories including setup fees, reporting
fees, and eCoupon distributions and resulted from both increased pharmaceutical brands being promoted and expanded distribution
channels. We expect continued revenue increases in 2015.
Because
the pharmaceutical industry is dominated by large companies with multiple brands, our revenue is concentrated in a relatively
small number of companies. We have approximately 25 pharmaceutical companies as customers and we received approximately 64% of
our revenue in the year ended December 31, 2014 from our largest 5 customers, with approximately 20% of revenue from our largest
customer. During the year ended December 31, 2013, approximately 75% of revenue came from our 5 largest customers, with 36% from
our largest customer. While we are still dependent on major customers, as our customer base expands, we are becoming less dependent
on any one customer.
Cost
of Sales
Our
cost of sales, composed of revenue share expense, increased in the year ended December 31, 2014, over the year ended December
31, 2013 as a result of the revenue increases. In addition, revenue share expense as a percentage of revenue in 2014 increased
over 2013 from approximately 40% in the year ended December 31, 2013 to approximately 50% in the year ended December 31, 2014.
These
increases in revenue share expense as a percentage of revenue result from a combination of factors, including product mix whereby
a larger percentage of overall revenues are subject to revenue share, the LDM settlement agreement, which resulted in increased
revenue share payments, and increased distributions at channel partners with financial incentives to increase distributions that
result in higher payments per distribution. We expect revenue share expense as a percentage of revenue in 2015 to continue at
levels similar to, or greater than, that of 2014 as revenues subject to revenue share expense continues to increase as a percentage
of our overall revenues, and as a result of the LDM agreement being in effect for all of 2015, compared with only 10 months of
2014.
Operating
Expenses
Operating
expenses increased to approximately $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 from approximately $3.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of approximately 40%. The detail by major category is reflected in the table below.

Total Operating Expense | |
$ | 4,307,756 | | |
$ | 3,085,961 | |
The
main reasons for the increase in operating expenses in 2014 are stock-based compensation, and the lawsuit settlement, which resulted
in a $400,000 payment to the plaintiff. Ignoring those items, operating expenses only increased approximately 7% compared with
a revenue increase of approximately 40%. The lawsuit settlement is a one-time expense that is not expected to recur, although
as discussed above, it affects revenue share expense on an ongoing basis. Stock based compensation expense increased significantly
as a result of stock grants to two executive officers and option grants to new and existing employees. We expect that stock compensation
expenses will be significantly reduced in 2015 as there are no stock grants scheduled, aside from some remaining shares that will
come due in 2015 to our new directors under our Director Compensation Plan, and amortization of the stock granted to the previous
CEO has been completed.
Within
the remaining operating expenses, there were a variety of increases, some of which were offset by savings in other areas. Salaries,
wages and benefits increased as a result of additional staff. Professional fees decreased primarily as a result of the resolution
of litigation in 2014, resulting in lower legal fees. Advertising and promotion increased as a result of our sponsorship of eCoupon
conferences. Development and Maintenance increased as a result of expansion of our system capacity and capabilities.
Net
Loss
We
finished the year ended December 31, 2014 with a loss of approximately $1.0 million, as compared to a loss of approximately $0.25
million during the year ended December 31, 2013. The reasons for specific components are discussed above. Overall, the increase
in revenue and resulting gross margin was offset by increased operating expenses, however the majority of those increases were
in non-recurring or non-cash items. The lawsuit settlement with LDM accounted for $400,000 of the increased loss. In addition,
the 2014 loss included noncash items of approximately $1.2 million related to stock based compensation and approximately $264,000
of depreciation and amortization. Ignoring working capital changes, we had positive cash flow from operations of approximately
$400,000 during the year ended December 31, 2014. In the year ended December 31, 2013, the loss of approximately $267,000 included
non-cash expenses of only approximately $525,000 in stock-based compensation and $195,000 in depreciation and amortization, resulting
in cash flow from operations (ignoring working capital items) of slightly over $450,000 in 2013.
Quarterly
Financial Information
As
discussed in the notes to the financial statements, we have restated our 2013 financial statements. The restatement relates to
unrecorded stock compensation related to investor relations and consulting services, unrecorded revenue share payables, and changes
in revenue recognition, all occurring during the year ended December 31, 2013. The revenue recognition relates to promotional
programs started in 2013 that were expected to be completed in 2013, but actually carried over into 2014. These items were discovered
as a result of their effect on the 2014 financial statements and a result, the quarterly financial statements also will be restated.
Following are the restated income statement numbers for the first three quarters that will be used in the 2015 quarterly reports
on Form 10-Q, as well as the fourth quarter amounts for information purposes.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of December 31, 2014, we had total current assets of approximately $5.6 million, compared with current liabilities of approximately
$2.4 million, resulting in working capital of approximately $3.2 million and a current ratio of approximately 2.3 to 1. This is
a significant improvement over the working capital balance of approximately $350,000 and current ratio of 1.15 to 1 at December
31, 2013. The increase is largely due to the private offering we conducted in March of 2014, resulting in $2.8 million in working
capital. We are currently generating positive cash flow from operations, ignoring working capital fluctuations, and we expect
our working capital balance to continue to improve in future quarters.
Our
operating activities used approximately $50,000 in the year ended December 31, 2014, however, this was significantly impacted
by working capital items, primarily an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $589,000 as a result of increasing sales
throughout the year. Without this, we would have had positive cash flow from operations and we expect positive cash flow from
operations in future quarters in 2015 and for the full year in 2015. When ignoring working capital fluctuations, we generated
positive cash flow from operations in both years as shown in the table below.

We
used approximately $400,000 in investing activities in the year ended December 31, 2014 compared with about $300,000 in the year
ended December 31, 2013. These investment activities relate to improvements being implemented in our SampleMD website, as well
as protection and expansion of our patent portfolio. These items both represent important components of our business strategy
moving forward.
Financing
activities provided approximately $2.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2014. This results from a $10 million equity
raise in March 2014, partially offset by costs of the raise and redemption of all the common stock, preferred stock, and warrants
held by a major shareholder that significantly reduced the potential fully diluted shares count, even when considering the new
equity issued. The redemption also alleviated further dilution in connection with dividends payable to the preferred shareholder.
With the financing and cash on hand, we have sufficient cash to operate our business for more than the next twelve months and
we do not anticipate the need to raise additional equity for operating purposes. There were no cash flows from financing activities
in the same period in 2013.
As of March 31, 2015, we had total
current assets of approximately $5.4 million, compared with current liabilities of approximately $2.2 million, resulting in working
capital of approximately $3.2 million and a current ratio of approximately 2.5 to 1, similar to the working capital of approximately
$3.2 million and current ratio of 2.3 to 1 at December 31, 2014. We are currently generating positive cash flow from operations
and we expect our working capital balance to continue to improve in future quarters.
Our operating activities generated
approximately $87,000 in cash flow during the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared with cash generated of approximately
$227,000 in the same period in 2014. This decrease is primarily the result of increased accounts receivable balances resulting
from the increased sales.
We used approximately $23,000 in
investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared with approximately $109,000 in the same period in 2014.
These investment activities relate to improvements being implemented in our SampleMD website, as well as protection and expansion
of our patent portfolio. These items both represent important components of our business strategy moving forward.
There were no cash flows from financing
activities in 2015, however financing activities provided approximately $2.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014.
This results from a $10 million equity raise in March 2014, partially offset by costs of the raise and redemption of all the common
stock, preferred stock, and warrants held by a major shareholder that significantly reduced the fully diluted shares count, even
when considering the new equity issued. With the financing and cash on hand, we have sufficient cash to operate our business for
more than the next twelve months and we do not anticipate the need to raise additional equity.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2015, there were no off
balance sheet arrangements.
Critical
Accounting Policies
A
“critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition
and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to
make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Our
accounting policies are discussed in detail in the footnotes to our financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, however, we consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to revenue
recognition, calculation of revenue share expense, stock-based compensation, capitalization and related amortization of intangible
assets, and impairment of assets.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We
do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operation,
financial position or cash flow.
CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Other
than described below or the transactions described under the heading “Executive Compensation” (or with respect to
which such information is omitted in accordance with SEC regulations), there have not been, and there is not currently proposed,
any transaction or series of similar transactions to which we were or will be a participant in which the amount involved exceeded
or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed
fiscal years, and in which any director, executive officer, holder of 5% or more of any class of our capital stock or any member
of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
On
March 17, 2014, we raised gross proceeds of $10,000,000 in an unregistered offering (the “Offering”) with certain
accredited investors. We used a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering to exercise the Securities Redemption Option Agreement,
as amended, with Vicis Capital Master Fund (“Vicis”) that provides us with an option to purchase all of the outstanding
shares and derivative securities held by Vicis for total payment of six million dollars ($6,000,000). The shares and derivative
securities include the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, Common Stock, and warrants
to purchase shares of common stock held by Vicis in our company. In connection with this fundraising, we agreed to grant 200,000
shares of fully vested common stock to officers David, Harrell, David Lester, and Terry Hamilton.
In
February 2014, we agreed to grant 337,500 shares of common stock, half of which vested immediately and half of which vested in
August 2014, to both David Harrell and Terry Hamilton as bonuses based on their efforts to recapitalize the company to secure
approximately $3 million in working capital while reducing potential fully diluted shares by approximately 7 million shares. Stock-based
compensation related to these bonuses was $570,375 during the year ended December 31, 2014. These shares have not yet been issued
and are recorded as stock payable, but can be requested by the officers at any time.

Our
common stock is quoted under the symbol “OPRX” on the OTCQB operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc. Only a limited

Penny
Stock
The
SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are
generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities
exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such
securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny
stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature
and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of
the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation
of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market,
including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a
toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or
in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type
size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.
The
broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations
for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares
to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for
such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
In
addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the
broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive
the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving
penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
These
disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may
have difficulty selling our securities.
Holders
of Our Common Stock
As
of April 17, 2015, we had 22,912,319 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by 326 shareholders of record at
our transfer agent, with approximately 1,000 additional shareholders holding our shares in street name.
Dividends
We
currently intend to retain future earnings for the operation of our business. We have never declared or paid cash dividends on
our common stock, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
In
the event that a dividend is declared, common stockholders on the record date are entitled to share ratably in any dividends that
may be declared from time to time on the common stock by our board of directors from funds legally available.
There
are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that restrict us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes,
however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
|
1. |
We would not be able to pay our debts
as they become due in the usual course of business; or |
|
2. |
Our total assets
would be less than the sum of our total liabilities, plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders
who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution. |
Securities
Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
On
June 13, 2013, our Board of Directors adopted the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan
is to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility with us, to provide additional
incentive to employees, directors and consultants, and to promote our success. Under the Plan, we may issue up to an aggregate
total of 1,500,000 incentive or non-qualified options to purchase our common stock or stock awards.

Recent
Sales of Unregistered Securities
In
January 2015, we issued 12,500 shares of restricted common stock to our outside Directors as part of our director compensation
package for services rendered in the fourth quarter of 2014.
In
March 2015, we signed a capital markets advisory agreement whereby we agreed to issue 90,000 shares of common stock in two increments
as payment for the advisory services. The first 45,000 shares were issued in March 2015.
These
securities were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The holders represented
their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view towards distribution. The investors were given
adequate information about us to make an informed investment decision. We did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising.
We directed our transfer agent to issue the stock certificates with the appropriate restrictive legend affixed to the restricted
stock.

employment and continuing for a period of one year thereafter. As a result of the same amendment, Mr. Hamilton is entitled to
severance payments if he is terminated with or without cause. Such payments would be due monthly at his then current salary rate
for a period of 12 months following termination. On August 14, 2013, we amended the employment agreement with Mr. Hamilton. Pursuant
to the terms and conditions of the Amendment to Employment Agreement with Terry Hamilton:
| ● | Mr.
Hamilton will earn a base salary of $157,500 per year. |
On
March 16, 2014, Mr. Hamilton’s salary was increased to a base salary of $165,000, but no formal contract amendment was signed.
His salary remains at that level as of the date of this filing.
On
August 14, 2013 we granted restricted stock awards under our 2013 Incentive Plan. Mr. Hamilton was awarded 215,625 shares of our
common stock. The award vested in 2014 and was valued at $1.69 per share. Mr. Hamilton was granted an additional restricted stock
award of 50,000 shares under our 2013 Incentive Plan on January 9, 2014. This award was fully vested at the time of grant and
was valued at $1.89 per share.
On
May 12, 2014, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Baker, our new Chief Financial Officer. Under the agreement, we
agreed to compensate Mr. Baker $125,000 annually and we granted him options to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock, with
50% vesting after one year and 50% vesting after two years of hire. The options were valued at 1.3111 per share, or a total of
$131,110, for financial statement purposes using the Black-Scholes pricing model.
Mr.
Baker is also eligible for additional quarterly and annual bonus compensation, stock options, and stock grants based on performance
metrics outlined by our board of directors. He is entitled to vacation and sick days, and other benefits included in the agreement.
As of April 1, 2015, Mr. Baker’s base salary will be increased to $150,000, but no formal contract amendment has been
signed.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of
Directors
OptimizeRx Corporation
Rochester, Michigan
We
have audited, before the effects of the adjustments for the correction of the errors described in Note 17, the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet of OptimizeRx Corporation as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’
equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (the 2013 financial statements before the effects of the adjustments discussed
in Note 17 have been withdrawn and are not presented herein). The 2013 financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our
audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit
includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion,
except for the errors described in Note 17, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of OptimizeRx Corporation as of December 31, 2013, and the results of its operations and cash
flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We were not engaged
to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the adjustments for the correction of the errors described in Note 17 and, accordingly,
do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance about whether such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly
applied. Those adjustments were audited by KLJ & Associates, LLP.

of OptimizeRx Corporation
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of OptimizeRx Corporation
as of December 31, 2014 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the
year then ended. OptimizeRx Corporation’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted
our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control
over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing

principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In

position of OptimizeRx Corporation as of December 31, 2014, the results of their operations, and their cash flows, for the
year ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As
discussed in Note 17 to the financial statements, errors resulting in an understatement of deferred revenue, liabilities, and
stock compensation expense were discovered by management. Accordingly, adjustments have been made to correct the
error.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2014
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS
OptimizeRx Corporation, is a technology solutions
company targeting the health care industry. Our objective is to bring better access to better care through connecting patients,
physicians and pharmaceutical manufacturers through technology. Originally defined as a marketing and advertising company through
our consumer website, we have matured into a technology solutions provider as we launched our direct to physician solution, SampleMD.
SampleMD allows physicians to search, print and send available sample trial vouchers and/or co-pay coupons on behalf of their patients.
The SampleMD solution is integrated into the physician’s ePrescribing or Electronic Medical Records applications, but could
also be a stand-alone desktop application. OptimizeRx solutions provide pharmaceutical manufacturers a direct to physician channel
for communicating and promoting their products. It provides health care providers a means to provide sampling and coupons without
having to physically store samples on site, and it provides better access and affordability to patients.
The company was originally formed as Optimizer
Systems, LLC in the State of Michigan on January 31, 2006. It incorporated in the State of Michigan on October 22, 2007 and changed
its name to OptimizeRx Corporation. On April 14, 2008, RFID, Ltd., a Colorado corporation, consummated a reverse merger by entering
into a share exchange agreement with the stockholders of OptimizeRx Corporation, pursuant to which the stockholders of OptimizeRx
Corporation exchanged all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of OptimizeRx Corporation for 1,256,958 shares of common
stock of RFID, Ltd., representing 100% of the outstanding capital stock of RFID, Ltd. As of April 30, 2008, RFID’s
officers and directors resigned their positions and RFID changed its business to OptimizeRx’s business. On April 15,
2008, RFID, Ltd.’s corporate name was changed to OptimizeRx Corporation. On September 4, 2008, a migratory merger was
completed, thereby changing the state of incorporation from Colorado to Nevada, resulting in the current corporate structure,
in which OptimizeRx Corporation, a Nevada corporation, is the parent corporation, and OptimizeRx Corporation, a Michigan corporation,
which is a wholly-owned subsidiary (together, "OptimizeRx" and "the Company").

OPTIMIZERx CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair
value of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accounts payable – related party, accrued expenses
and deferred revenue approximates the carrying amount of these financial instruments due to their short-term nature.
Fair value is defined as the price that would
be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated
based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity.
In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including our own credit risk.
In addition to defining fair value, the disclosure
requirements around fair value establish a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs which is expanded. The hierarchy prioritizes
the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each
fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant
to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:
Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted
quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 – inputs are based upon significant
observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets
that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or
can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable
and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow
models, and similar techniques. The Company’s stock options and warrants are valued using level 3 inputs.
The carrying value of the Company’s financial
assets and liabilities which consist of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, patent rights, web development costs, accounts
payable, accounts payable – related party, accrued expenses and deferred revenue are valued using level 1 inputs. The Company
believes that the recorded values approximate their fair value due to the short maturity of such instruments. Unless otherwise
noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, exchange or credit risks arising
from these financial instruments.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts
Accounts receivable are reported at realizable
value, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, which is estimated and recorded in the period the related revenue is recorded.
The Company has a standardized approach to estimate and review the collectability of its receivables based on a number of factors,
including the period they have been outstanding. Historical collection and payer reimbursement experience is an integral part of
the estimation process related to allowances for doubtful accounts. In addition, the Company regularly assesses the state of its
billing operations in order to identify issues, which may impact the collectability of these receivables or reserve estimates.
Because the Company’s customers are primarily large well capitalized companies, historically there has been very little bad
debt expense. Bad debt expense was $0 for each of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The allowance for doubtful accounts
was $0 as of both December 31, 2014 and 2013.
OPTIMIZERx CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2014
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Property and Equipment
The capital
assets are being depreciated over their estimated useful lives of three to seven years using the straight-line method of depreciation
for book purposes.
Revenue Recognition and Revenue Share Expense
Revenue is recognized when it is earned. Revenues are generated
from our SampleMD activities in which we deliver eCoupons and eVouchers through a distribution network of ePrescribers and Electronic
Health Record technology providers (channel partners), or from reselling services that complement our business for other of our
partners.
We recognize setup fees that are required for
integrating client offerings and campaigns into the SampleMD content delivery system and network upon completion of the setup and
launch of the client’s campaign within the SampleMD system. As the eCoupons and or eVouchers are distributed through the
SampleMD platform and network of channel partners (a transaction), these transactions are recorded and revenue is recognized at
the time of distribution. Revenue for transactions can be realized based on a price per distribution or a price per redemption
depending on the client contract. Additionally, the company also recognizes revenue for providing program performance reporting
and maintenance, either by the company directly delivering reports or by providing access to its online reporting portal that the
client can utilize. These fees are charged monthly and recognized as recurring monthly revenue.
The company on occasion has also resold products
and or services that are available through our channel partners, and that is complementary to our core businesses and client base.
In these instances net revenue is recognized based on the commission based revenue split that the company receives.
Based on the volume of transactions that are
delivered through our channel partner network, we provide a revenue share to compensate the partner for their promotion of the
campaign. Revenue shares are a negotiated percentage of the transaction fees and can also be specific to special considerations
and campaigns. In addition, we pay revenue share to PDR/LDM as a result of a 2014 legal settlement in an amount equal to the greater
of 10% of eCoupon revenues generated or $0.37 per eCoupon distributed.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and
liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the
differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted
tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence,
are not expected to be realized.
Use of Estimates
The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions have been made in determining the depreciable lives
of such assets and the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risks
The Company
maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company
has not experienced any losses in such accounts; however, amounts in excess of the federally insured limit may be at risk if the
bank experiences financial difficulties.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Research and Development
The Company
expenses research and development expenses as incurred. Our research efforts are focused on understanding the market dynamics that
have the potential to affect the business in both the short and long term. Our primary goal is to help patients better afford and
access the medicines their doctor prescribes, as well as other healthcare products and services they need. Based on this, the Company
continually seeks better ways to meet this mission through improved technology, better user experiences and new ways to engage
industries to provide new support for patients needing their products, as well seeking new services and solutions to offer.
Share-based
Payments
The Company uses the fair value method to
account for stock-based compensation. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and
additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered. The fair value of each award is estimated on the
date of each grant. For restricted stock the fair market value is based on the market value of the stock granted on the date of
the grant. For options, it is estimated using the Black Scholes option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following
table. Estimated volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock over the same period as the
expected term of the options. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected
to be outstanding. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise behavior and to determine this term. The risk
free rate used is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant using a time period equal to the expected
option term. The Company has never paid dividends and does not expect to pay any dividends in the future.

The Black-Scholes option
valuation model and other existing models were developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have
no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. These option valuation models require the input of, and are highly sensitive
to, subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. OptimizerRx’s stock options have characteristics
significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the subjective input assumptions could materially affect
the fair value estimate.
Loss
Per Common and Common Equivalent Share
The
computation of basic earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the year. The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during
the year plus common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise of warrants outstanding using the treasury stock method
and the average market price per share during the year. Options, warrants and convertible preferred stock have not been included
in the diluted earnings per share calculation for either year since their effect is anti-dilutive.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company
continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable.
When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining
whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the
future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess
of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount
or the fair value less costs to sell.
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
The Company
does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results
of operations, financial position or cash flow.

(CONTINUED)
Placement agents in the offering received commissions
equal to approximately 9.7% of gross proceeds, for an aggregate commission of approximately $970,000, including reimbursements
for their reasonable out of pocket expenses. Placement agents also received warrants to purchase up to 804,139 shares of the
Company's common stock with an exercise price of $1.20 per share and a term of 5 years. The warrants were valued at $1,110,211,
have been recorded as equity issuance costs, and were registered on a registration statement dated May 28, 2014. In addition to
the warrants to placement agents, the Company also paid cash bonuses of $240,000 to three executive officers, agreed to issue 200,000
shares to three executive officers, and issued 150,000 shares to a consultant, in connection with the equity raise. The stock was
valued based on the fair market value on the grant date, which was $630,000 in total. These amounts have been recorded as equity
issuance costs, resulting in total equity issuance costs of $2.95 million. The 200,000 shares for the three executive officers
have not been issued, but are recorded as stock payable and can be requested by the respective officers at any time.
The Company used the net proceeds of the
offering to exercise the securities redemption option agreement, as amended, with Vicis Capital Master Fund that provided the
Company with an option to purchase all of the outstanding shares and derivative securities held by Vicis for total payment
of $6,000,000. The shares and derivative securities included the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock, Common Stock, and warrants to purchase shares of common stock held by Vicis in the Company. The balance of the net proceeds
was used for working capital purposes.
In January 2014, an executive officer exercised
500,000 stock warrants using the cashless exercise feature included in the warrants. In exchange for the 500,000 warrants, 410,348
shares of common stock were issued. In October 2014, a consultant exercised 50,000 stock warrants using the cashless exercise feature
included in the warrants. In exchange for the 50,000 warrants, 35,417 shares of common stock were issued.
In February 2014, the Company agreed to grant
337,500 shares of common stock, half of which vested immediately and half of which vested in August 2014, to two executive officers
as bonuses based on their efforts to recapitalize the company to secure approximately $3 million in working capital while reducing
potential fully diluted shares by approximately 7 million shares. Stock-based compensation related to these bonuses was $570,375
during the year ended December 31, 2014. These shares have not yet been issued and are recorded as stock payable, but can be requested
by the officers at any time.

NOTE 11 – STOCK OPTIONS
AND WARRANTS
The Company sponsors a stock-based incentive
compensation plan known as the 2013 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), which was established by the Board of Directors
of the Company and approved by the shareholders of the Company in June 2013. A total of 1,500,000 shares were initially reserved
for issuance under the plan, of which 552,500 options have been granted, 537,500 shares have been granted, and 410,000 remain
available for grant.
The plan allows the Company to grant
incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation right, or restricted stock. The incentive stock options
are exercisable for up to ten years, at an option price per share not less than the fair market value on the date the option is
granted. The incentive stock options are limited to persons who are regular full-time employees of the Company at the date of
the grant of the option. Non-qualified options may be granted to any person, including, but not limited to, employees, independent
agents, consultants and attorneys, who the Company’s Board or Compensation Committee believes have contributed, or will
contribute, to the success of the Company. Non-qualified options may be issued at option prices of less than fair market value
on the date of grant and are exercisable for up to ten years from date of grant. The option vesting schedule for options granted
is determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at the time of the grant. The Plan provides for accelerated
vesting of unvested options if there is a change in control, as defined in the plan.
Prior to establishment of the plan, the
Board granted options under terms similar to those described in the preceding paragraphs.
The compensation cost that has been charged
against income related to options for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, was $272,804 and $94,998, respectively. No income
tax benefit was recognized in the income statement and no compensation was capitalized in any of the years presented.

Under certain circumstances
issuance of common shares can result in an ownership change under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 which limits the Company’s
ability to utilize carry forwards from prior to the ownership change. Any such ownership change resulting from stock issuances
and redemptions could limit the Company’s ability to utilize any net operating loss carry forwards or credits generated
before this change in ownership. These limitations can limit both the timing of usage of these laws, as well as the loss of the
ability to use these net operating losses.
NOTE 16 – CONTINGENT
LIABILITIES
Legal
The company is currently involved in the following
legal proceedings.
In September 2014, we initial litigation against
Shadron Stastney, the Company’s previous CEO, in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Michigan as a result
of a dispute related to his separation agreement. Mr. Stastney alleged damages related to the non-registration of shares that he
was granted as part of his separation agreement signed in September 2013. Under the terms of the contract we are not obligated
to register the shares and we deny any obligation to do so. We have requested declarative relief from the court and also requested
an injunction from the court preventing Mr. Stastney from continuing to pursue his claims. Mr. Stastney has filed a counterclaim
requesting damages of $450,000 related to the nonregistration of his shares.
In March 2015, we initiated litigation
against LDM Group, LLC and PDR Network, LLC in the United States District Court in the Eastern District of Missouri related to
the breach by LDM, and PDR as successor, of the settlement agreement signed February 28, 2014 related to previous litigation with
LDM. LDM has failed to live up to its obligations under the settlement agreement including, but not limited to, not allowing the
Company to distribute its eCoupon programs in the LDM network, not allowing the Company to distribute the LDM patient education
programs, and not providing other information required under the settlement agreement. The Company is seeking enforcement of the
settlement agreement and is seeking damages in an amount at least equal to the amounts paid to date to LDM under the settlement
agreement, which approximates $900,000, as well as damages for lost income and business value as a result of LDM’s breach
of the agreement.
In March 2015, we also initiated litigation
against PDR Network, LLC in the United States District Court in the District of New Jersey as a result of PDR’s breach of
the Master Services Agreement between the parties requiring PDR to exclusively use the Company’s eCoupon solution. The Company
asserts that PDR’s acquisition of LDM and the use of the LDM network to distribute coupons by PDR violates the agreement
between the parties and is seeking damages in an amount at least equal the amounts paid to date by the Company to LDM under the
settlement agreement, which approximates $900,000, as well as damages for lost income and business value as a result of PDR’s
actions.

NOTE
16 – CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (continued)
In early 2014 the Company learned that
Mr. Milton Wilpon (“Mr. Wilpon”) of New Jersey claimed to have obtained a default judgment for approximately $929,000
in the New Jersey Superior Court, Essex County (the “Judgment”) against a predecessor of the Company and was seeking
to amend the Judgment to add the Company as a judgment debtor. The Judgment was entered in 2006 when the predecessor
of the Company was a dormant shell company and the Judgment allegedly related to a settlement agreement that was breached in 2001
(the “Settlement Agreement”). The Company appeared in the action and filed a motion to vacate the Judgment on
several grounds, including that it appeared that the Summons and Complaint were never properly served and that plaintiff had never
filed an arbitration as was required by the Settlement Agreement. In September 2014, the Court granted the Company’s
motion and vacated the Judgment in its entirety and dismissed the action.
In December 2014, the Company was served with
a copy of a Demand for Arbitration filed by Mr. Wilpon relating to his claims under the Settlement Agreement. On February
24, 2015, the Company filed an appearance with the AAA objecting to the arbitration on several grounds, including (1) that claims
arose in 2001 and are barred by the applicable statute of limitations; (2) plaintiff did not properly serve and file the demand
for arbitration and (3) plaintiff has not followed the proper procedure for the appointment of an arbitrator as provided by the
Settlement Agreement. The Company intends vigorously to oppose Mr. Wilpon’s claims.
Revenue-share contracts
The Company has contacts with various Electronic
Health Records systems and ePrescribe platforms, whereby we agree to share a portion of the revenue we generate for eCoupons distributed
through their networks. These contracts grant audit rights related to the payments to our partners, and in some cases would require
us to pay for the audit if the audit determined there was an underpayment and the underpayment meets certain thresholds, such as
10%.

advisory agreement whereby we agreed to issue 90,000 shares of common stock in two increments as payment for the advisory services.
The first 45,000 shares were issued in March 2015.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS
OF PRESENTATION
OptimizeRx Corporation, is a technology
solution company focused on the health care industry. Its objective is to bring better access to better care by leveraging its
proprietary technology to provide on demand savings and support within physicians and patients web based platforms, including
Electronic Health Records and Patient Portals. Initially defined as a marketing and advertising company through its consumer website,
OptimizeRx.com, the Company has matured as a technology solutions provider through its direct to physician solution, SampleMD.
SampleMD allows physicians to automatically display and distribute sample vouchers and/or co-pay coupons electronically within
the ePrescription platform to pharmacies on behalf of their patients. The SampleMD solution is integrated into the ePrescribing
or Electronic Medical Records applications, but can also sit on a prescriber’s desktop.
OptimizeRx solutions provide health care
institutions with an alternative option to the traditional hassles and issues associated with storing and managing physical drug
samples and pre-printed coupons and it provides better access and affordability to patients to improve affordability, adherence
and outcomes. In turn, OptimizeRx provides pharmaceutical manufacturers with both direct to consumer and direct to physician channels
for more efficiently communicating and promoting their products and savings.
The consolidated financial statements for
the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 have been prepared by us without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, and for the periods then ended, have been made.
Those adjustments consist of normal and recurring adjustments. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, has been
derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date.
Certain information and note disclosures
normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have
been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with a reading of the financial
statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as filed
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The results of operations for the three
month period ended March 31, 2015, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain reclassifications
have been made in the prior period’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation.
NOTE
2 – STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
In
January 2015, we issued 12,500 shares of common stock to outside Directors in connection with our Director Compensation plan which
calls for issuance of 6,250 shares per quarter for each Director. Those shares were recorded as stock payable at December 31,
2014. In addition, we recorded an additional 12,500 shares, valued at $16,375 as stock payable at March 31, 2015 for shares to
be issued in April 2015.
In
February 2015 we entered into a capital markets advisory agreement covering a one year period which calls for 90,000 shares of
common stock to be issued as compensation. These shares were valued at $112,500 and are being amortized to expense over the period
of service. 45,000 of these shares were issued in March 2015, with the balance to be issued in August 2015. The agreement also
allows an additional 60,000 shares to be earned based on future contingencies.
In March 2014, we entered
into a securities purchase agreement, pursuant to which we sold 8,333,333 shares of our common stock for $1.20
per share, or gross proceeds of $10,000,000.

NOTE 2 – STOCKHOLDERS
EQUITY (CONTINUED)
Placement agents in the offering received
commissions equal to approximately 9.7% of gross proceeds, for an aggregate commission of approximately $970,000, including reimbursements
for their reasonable out of pocket expenses. Placement agents also received warrants to purchase up to 804,139 shares of our
common stock with an exercise price of $1.20 per share and a term of 5 years. The warrants were valued at $1,110,211, have been
recorded as equity issuance costs, and were registered on a registration statement that went effective May 28, 2014. In addition
to the warrants to placement agents, we also paid cash bonuses of $240,000 to three executive officers, agreed to issue 200,000
shares to three executive officers, and issued 150,000 shares to a consultant, in connection with the equity raise. The stock
was valued based on the fair market value on the grant date, which was $630,000 in total. These amounts have been recorded as
equity issuance costs, resulting in total equity issuance costs of $2.95 million. The 200,000 shares for the three executive officers
have not been issued, but are recorded as stock payable and can be requested by the executive officers at any time.
We used the net proceeds of the offering
to exercise the securities redemption option agreement, as amended, with Vicis Capital Master Fund that provided us with
an option to purchase all of the outstanding shares and derivative securities held by Vicis for total payment of $6,000,000. The
shares and derivative securities included the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, Common
Stock, and warrants to purchase shares of common stock held by Vicis in the Company. The balance of the net proceeds were used
for working capital purposes.
In January 2014, an executive officer exercised
500,000 stock warrants using the cashless exercise feature included in the warrants. In exchange for the 500,000 warrants, 410,348
shares of common stock were issued.
In February 2014, we agreed to grant 337,500
shares of our common stock, half of which vested immediately and half of which vested in August 2014, to two executive officers
as bonuses based on their efforts to recapitalize the company to secure approximately $3 million in working capital while reducing
fully diluted shares by approximately 7 million shares. These shares have not been issued, but are recorded as stock payable and
can be requested by the officers at any time.
NOTE 3 – SHARE BASED
PAYMENTS – OPTIONS
We use the fair value method to account
for stock based compensation. We recorded $53,841 and $36,235 in compensation expense in the periods ended March 31, 2015 and
2014, respectively, related to options issued under our stock-based incentive compensation plan. This includes expense related
to options issued in prior years for which the requisite service period for those options includes the current year. No options
were issued in the current year. The fair value of these instruments was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Information related to the assumptions used in this model is set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2014.

NOTE 4 – CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The company is currently involved in the
following legal proceedings.
In September 2014, we initiated litigation
against Shadron Stastney, the Company’s previous CEO, in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Michigan as
a result of a dispute related to his separation agreement. Mr. Stastney alleged damages related to the non-registration of shares
that he was granted as part of his separation agreement signed in September 2013. Under the terms of the contract we are not obligated
to register the shares and we deny any obligation to do so. We have requested declarative relief from the court and also requested
an injunction from the court preventing Mr. Stastney from continuing to pursue his claims. Mr. Stastney has filed a counterclaim
requesting damages of $450,000 related to the nonregistration of his shares.
In March 2015, we initiated litigation
against LDM Group, LLC and PDR Network, LLC in the United States District Court in the Eastern District of Missouri related to
the breach by LDM, and PDR as successor, of the settlement agreement signed February 28, 2014 related to previous litigation with
LDM. LDM has failed to live up to its obligations under the settlement agreement including, but not limited to, not allowing us
to distribute our eCoupon programs in the LDM network, not allowing us to distribute the LDM patient education programs, and not
providing other information required under the settlement agreement. We are seeking enforcement of the settlement agreement and
is seeking damages in an amount at least equal to the amounts paid to date to LDM under the settlement agreement, which approximates
$1.0 million, as well as damages for lost income and business value as a result of LDM’s breach of the agreement.
In March 2015, we also initiated litigation
against PDR Network, LLC in the United States District Court in the District of New Jersey as a result of PDR’s breach of
the Master Services Agreement between the parties requiring PDR to exclusively use our eCoupon solution. We assert that PDR’s
acquisition of LDM and the use of the LDM network to distribute coupons by PDR violates the agreement between the parties and
is seeking damages in an amount at least equal the amounts paid to date by us to LDM under the settlement agreement, which approximates
$1.0 million, as well as damages for lost income and business value as a result of PDR’s actions.
In May 2015, we filed an amended complaint
in the Missouri case to consolidate the two cases and withdrew the case against PDR Networks in the United States District Court
in the District of New Jersey, without predjudice.
In early 2014 we learned that Mr. Milton
Wilpon (“Mr. Wilpon”) of New Jersey claimed to have obtained a default judgment for approximately $929,000 in the
New Jersey Superior Court, Essex County (the “Judgment”) against a predecessor of the Company and was seeking to amend
the Judgment to add us as a judgment debtor. The Judgment was entered in 2006 when the predecessor of the Company
was a dormant shell company and the Judgment allegedly related to a settlement agreement that was breached in 2001 (the “Settlement
Agreement”). We appeared in the action and filed a motion to vacate the Judgment on several grounds, including that
it appeared that the Summons and Complaint were never properly served and that plaintiff had never filed an arbitration as was
required by the Settlement Agreement. In September 2014, the Court granted our motion and vacated the Judgment in its entirety
and dismissed the action.
In December 2014, we were served with a
copy of a Demand for Arbitration filed by Mr. Wilpon relating to his claims under the Settlement Agreement. On February
24, 2015, we filed an appearance with the AAA objecting to the arbitration on several grounds, including (1) that claims arose
in 2001 and are barred by the applicable statute of limitations; (2) plaintiff did not properly serve and file the demand for
arbitration and (3) plaintiff has not followed the proper procedure for the appointment of an arbitrator as provided by the Settlement
Agreement. We petitioned the AAA to terminate the proceeding and in April 2015, the proceeding was terminated.

Item 14. |
Indemnification of Directors and Officers. |
Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided
by the Nevada Revised Statutes and our bylaws.
Under the governing Nevada statutes, director immunity
from liability to a company or its shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited
by a company's articles of incorporation. Our articles of incorporation do not contain any limiting language regarding director
immunity from liability. Excepted from this immunity are:
|
1. |
a willful failure to deal fairly with the company or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest; |
|
2. |
a violation of criminal law (unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful); |
|
3. |
a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and |
Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors
and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may modify the extent of such indemnification
by individual contracts with our directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any
director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless:
|
1. |
such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law; |
|
2. |
the proceeding was authorized by our Board of Directors; |
|
3. |
such indemnification is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested us under Nevada law; or; |
|
4. |
such indemnification is required to be made pursuant to the bylaws. |
Our bylaws provide that we will advance to any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer, of the company,
or is or was serving at the request of the company as a director or executive officer of another company, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefore, all expenses
incurred by any director or officer in connection with such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person
to repay said amounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under our bylaws
or otherwise.
Our bylaws provide that no advance shall be made by
us to an officer of the company, except by reason of the fact that such officer is or was a director of the company in which event
this paragraph shall not apply, in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if
a determination is reasonably and promptly made: (a) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors
who were not parties to the proceeding, or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested
directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the
time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such
person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the company.
Item 15. |
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities. |
In January 2015, we issued 12,500 shares of restricted common
stock to our outside Directors as part of our director compensation package for services rendered in the fourth quarter of 2014.
In March 2015, we signed a capital markets advisory agreement
whereby we agreed to issue 90,000 shares of common stock in two increments as payment for the advisory services. The first 45,000
shares were issued in March 2015.
These securities were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of
the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The holders represented their intention to acquire the securities for
investment only and not with a view towards distribution. The investors were given adequate information about us to make an informed
investment decision. We did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising. We directed our transfer agent to issue the

The registrant hereby undertakes:
| (a) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment
to this registration statement: |
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) to
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if
the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high
end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) to
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement
or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
(b) That, for the
purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) To remove
from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.
(d) That,
for the purpose of determining liability under the Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part
of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses
filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first
used after effectiveness. Provided, however , that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of
the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement
or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first
use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration
statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(e) Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion
of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other that the payment
by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit of proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf
by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in the City of Rochester, State of Michigan on June 1, 2015.

Re: |
OptimizeRx
Corp. Registration Statement on Form S-1 |
Ladies and
Gentlemen:
I have acted as counsel for OptimizeRx Corp.,
a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration
Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 23, 2015, and any
amendments thereto, pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The Registration Statement relates
to the resale registration of: (a) 804,139 shares of common stock reserved for issuance and issuable upon the exercise of the
warrants; and (b) 45,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, all of which are to be offered and sold by certain stockholders
of the Company (the “Selling Stockholders”) as set forth in the Registration Statement.
In
rendering the opinion set forth below, I have reviewed: (a) the Registration Statement and the exhibits attached thereto; (b)
the Company's Articles of Incorporation; (c) the Company's Bylaws; (d) certain records of the Company's corporate proceedings
as reflected in its minute books; and (e) such statutes, records and other documents as we have deemed relevant. In my examination,
I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and conformity
with the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies thereof. In addition, I have made such other examinations of law
and fact, as I have deemed relevant in order to form a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed.
Based
upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:
| 1. | The
shares of common stock to be sold by the Selling Stockholders are legally and validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable. |
| 2. | The
shares of common stock underlying the warrants to be sold by the Selling Stockholders
will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will be a binding obligation
of the Company under the law of the State of Nevada when issued by the Company if the
exercise price is received by the Company. |
This
opinion is based on Nevada general corporate law, including the statutory provisions, all applicable provisions of the Nevada
constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting those laws.
Very truly
yours,
/s/
Scott Doney |

APPENDIX
A — INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
The
Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Merriman and its officers, directors, employees, consultants, attorneys, agents,
affiliates, parent company and controlling persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (Merriman and each such other persons are collectively and individually
referred to below as an "Indemnified Party") from and against any and all loss, claim, damage, liability and expense
whatsoever, as incurred, including, without limitation, reasonable costs of any investigation, legal and other fees and expenses
incurred in connection with, and any amounts paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted, to which
the Indemnified Party may become subject under any applicable federal or state law (whether in tort, contract or on any other
basis) or otherwise, (i) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in any written or oral communication provided by or on behalf of the Company to any actual or prospective purchaser of the securities
or arising out of or based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading
or (ii) related to the performance by the Indemnified Party of the services contemplated by this letter agreement (including,
without limitation, the offer and sale of the securities) and will reimburse the Indemnified Party for all expenses (including
legal fees and expenses) in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense of any pending or threatened claim
or any action or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not the Indemnified Party is a party and whether or not such claim,
action or proceeding is initiated or brought by the Company. The Company will not be liable under clause (ii) of the foregoing
indemnification provision to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a court
or arbitrator, not subject to appeal or further appeal, to have resulted directly from the Indemnified Party's willful misconduct
or gross negligence. The Company also agrees that the Indemnified Party shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect, in
contract, tort or otherwise) to the Company related to, or arising out of, the engagement of the Indemnified Party pursuant to,
or the performance by the Indemnified Party of the services contemplated by, this letter agreement except to the extent that any
loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a court or arbitrator, not subject to appeal or further
appeal, to have resulted directly from the Indemnified Party's willful misconduct or gross negligence.

If
the indemnity provided above shall be unenforceable or unavailable for any reason whatsoever, the Company, its successors and
assigns, and the Indemnified Party shall contribute to all such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including,
without limitation, all costs of any investigation, legal or other fees and expenses incurred in connection with, and any amounts
paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted) (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative benefits received by the Company and Merriman under the terms of this letter agreement or (ii) if the allocation
provided for by clause
(i)
of this sentence is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative
benefits referred to in clause (i), but also the relative fault of the Company and Merriman in connection with the matter(s)
as to which contribution is to be made. The relative benefits received by the Company and Merriman shall be deemed to be in
the same proportion as the fee the Company actually pays to Merriman bears to the total value of the consideration
paid or to be paid to the Company. The relative fault of the Company and Merriman shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by Merriman and the Company's and Merriman's relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct. The Company and Merriman agree that it would not be just or
equitable if contribution pursuant to this paragraph were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
allocation which does not take into account these equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent
permitted by law, in no event shall the Indemnified Party's share of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
exceed, in the aggregate, the fee actually paid to the Indemnified Party by the Company. The Company further agrees that,
without Merriman's prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, it will not enter into any
settlement of a lawsuit, claim or other proceeding arising out of the transactions contemplated by this agreement unless such
settlement includes an explicit and unconditional release from the party bringing such lawsuit, claim or other proceeding of
all such lawsuits, claims, or other proceedings against the Indemnified Parties.

The
Indemnified Party will give prompt written notice to the Company of any claim for which it seeks indemnification hereunder, but
the omission to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may otherwise have hereunder except
to the extent that the Company is damaged or prejudiced by such omission or from any liability it may have other than under this
Appendix A. The Company shall have the right to assume the defense of any claim, lawsuit or action (collectively an "action")
for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification hereunder, subject to the provisions stated herein with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Company to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense
thereof, and so long as the Company performs its obligations pursuant to such election, the Company will not be liable to the
Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in
any such action and to participate in the defense thereof at its own expense; provided, however, that the reasonable fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company if (1) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized
by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ
counsel or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and
the Company and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded, based on advice of counsel, that there may be legal defenses
available to the Indemnified Party which are different from, or in conflict with, any legal defenses which may be available to
the Company (in which event the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified
Party, it being understood, however, that the Company shall not be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm of attorneys for all Indemnified Parties in each jurisdiction in which counsel is needed). Despite the foregoing,
the Indemnified Party shall not settle any claim without the prior written approval of the Company, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, so long as the Company is not in material breach of this Appendix A. Also, each Indemnified Party shall
make reasonable efforts to mitigate its losses and liabilities. In addition to the Company's other obligations hereunder and without
limitation, the Company agrees to pay monthly, upon receipt of itemized statements therefor, all reasonable fees and expenses
of counsel incurred by an Indemnified Party in defending any claim of the type set forth in the preceding paragraphs or in producing
documents, assisting in answering any interrogatories, giving any deposition testimony or otherwise becoming involved in any action
or response to any claim relating to the engagement referred to herein, or any of the matters enumerated in the preceding paragraphs,
whether or not any claim is made against an Indemnified Party or an Indemnified Party is named as a party to any such action.
