CompanyOverview

 

Weconnect consumers to licensed healthcare professionals through our website at www.MangoRX.com, for the provision of care via telehealthon our customer portal. We also provide access for customers to a licensed pharmacy for online fulfillment and distribution of certainmedications that may be prescribed as part of telehealth consultations, including our Mango ED and Mango GROW products, as further definedbelow.

 

Wehave identified men’s wellness telemedicine services and products as a growing sector in recent years and especially related tothe areas of erectile dysfunction (“ED”), hair growth products and hormone therapies.

 

OurProducts

 

MangoED

 

Wehave developed and are marketing and selling a new brand of ED product under the brand name “Mango.” This product is producedat a compounding pharmacy and is available to patients on the determination of a prescribing physician that the compounded drug is necessaryfor the individual patient. This product currently includes the following three ingredients: Either Sildenafil (the active ingredientin Viagra) or Tadalafil (the active ingredient in Cialis), and Oxytocin, all of which are used in U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)approved drugs, as well as L-Arginine, an amino acid that is available as a dietary supplement. However, the fact that Tadalafil, Sildenafiland Oxytocin are used in FDA approved drugs, and L-arginine is available as a dietary supplement, does not mean that these ingredientswill prove safe when combined into a single formulation to treat ED. We currently offer two dosage levels of our Mango ED product andanticipate doctors prescribing a dosage based on the needs and medical history of the patient. Our Mango ED product currently includesthe following amounts of the three ingredients: (1) either Sildenafil (50 milligrams (mg)) or Tadalafil (10 (mg)), Oxytocin (100 Internationalunits (IU)) and L-Arginine (50mg); and (2) either Sildenafil (100 milligrams (mg)) or Tadalafil (20mg), Oxytocin (100IU) and L-Arginine(50mg). Our Mango ED product has not been, and will not be, approved by the FDA and instead we produce and sell our Mango ED productand plan to produce and sell future pharmaceutical products, under an exemption provided by Section 503A of the Federal Food, Drug, andCosmetic Act.

 

Weare not aware of any clinical studies involving the administration of Tadalafil or Sildenafil sublingually at the doses we provide patients,or the compounding of Tadalafil or Sildenafil, Oxytocin and L-arginine to treat ED, as is contemplated by our ED product. We are, however,aware of other companies that are currently selling oral disintegrating tablets for ED, including those using a combination of Tadalafiland Sildenafil. Additionally, because our Mango ED product is being specially compounded for the customer by a pharmacist with a physician’sprescription and because the ingredients for our Mango ED product are publicly disclosed, this product formula can be replicated by othercompanies.

MangoHair Growth Product - ‘GROW’ by MangoRx

 

Wehave developed, and since November 16, 2022 are marketing and selling, a new brand of hair growth product under the brand name ‘GROW’by MangoRx (“Mango GROW”). This product is produced at our related party compounding pharmacy and is available to patientson the determination of a prescribing physician that the compounded drug is necessary for the individual patient. Mango GROW currentlyincludes the following four ingredients - (1) Minoxidil (the active ingredient in Rogaine®) and (2) Finasteride (the active ingredientin Propecia), each of which is used in FDA approved drugs, as well as (3) Vitamin D3 and (4) Biotin, which are available as dietary supplements.However, the fact that Minoxidil and Finasteride are used in FDA approved drugs, and that Vitamin D3 and Biotin, are available as a dietarysupplement, does not mean that these ingredients will prove safe when combined into a single formulation to attempt to treat hair growth.Mango GROW is encapsulated in convenient chewable, mint-flavored rapid dissolve tablets (“RDT”).

 

Wecurrently offer one dosage level of our Mango GROW product and anticipate doctors prescribing Mango GROW based on the needs and medicalhistory of the patient. Our Mango GROW product currently includes the following amounts of the four ingredients: (1) Minoxidil (2.5mg),(2) Finasteride (1mg), (3) Vitamin D3 (2000IU) and (4) Biotin (1mg). Our Mango GROW product has not been, and will not be, approved bythe FDA and instead we produce and sell our Mango GROW product and plan to produce and sell future pharmaceutical products, under anexemption provided by Section 503A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

 

Weare not aware of any clinical studies involving the administration of Minoxidil and Finasteride sublingually at the dose we provide patients,or the compounding of Minoxidil, Finasteride, Vitamin D3 and Biotin to treat hair growth. We are, however, aware of other companies thatare currently selling oral tablets for hair growth, including those using a combination of Minoxidil and Finasteride. Additionally, becauseour Mango GROW product is being specially compounded for the customer by a pharmacist with a physician’s prescription and becausethe ingredients for our Mango GROW product are publicly disclosed, this product formula can be replicated by other companies.

 

AdditionalInformation Regarding Mango ED and Mango GROW

 

Becauseour Mango ED and Mango GROW products have not been, and will not be, approved by the FDA, our products have not had the benefit of theFDA’s clinical trial protocol which seeks to prevent the possibility of serious patient injury and death. If this were to occur,we could be subject to litigation and governmental action, which could result in costly litigation, significant fines, judgments or penalties.

 

Wecurrently anticipate using a substantial portion of the net proceeds of this offering to finance marketing and general operational expensesassociated with the sale of our Mango ED and Mango GROW products. We launched our website in mid-November 2022. To date, we have soldonly a small amount of products and generated only minimal revenues.

 

MangoED and Mango GROW have been formulated as RDT using a sublingual (applied under the tongue) delivery system to bypass the stomach andliver. It is a generally established principle that sublingual drug absorption through the oral mucosa is generally faster than drugabsorption through the gastrointestinal tract. This is because sublingual drugs that are absorbed through the oral mucosa directly enterthe systemic circulation, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract and first-pass metabolism in the liver (see H. Zhang et al., Oral mucosaldrug delivery: clinical pharmacokinetics and therapeutic applications, 41 Clin Pharmacokinet661, 662 (2002). Though the active ingredients that comprise our Mango ED product are meant to treat ED - an issue that accordingto a 2018 study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine has been estimated to affect over one-third of today’s men’spopulation (with prevalence increasing with age) - we are also aiming to brand ourselves as a lifestyle company marketed to men seekingenhanced sexual vitality, performance, and overall mood and confidence, together with our Mango GROW hair growth product.

 

OurMango products are sold exclusively online via our website at www.MangoRX.com.

OurCustomer Portal

 

Ourcustomer platform connects consumers to licensed healthcare professionals through our website at www.MangoRX.com for theprovision of care via telehealth and also provides access for customers to a licensed pharmacy for online fulfillment anddistribution of certain medications that may be prescribed as part of a telehealth consultation. Additional features to this backendtechnology solution allow for the creation and management of customer accounts whereby customers have the ability to login, view andmake changes to their respective accounts, including reviewing order history, tracking order shipments, requesting and orderingproduct refills and making other profile changes such as shipping address and payment changes. Our portal is not unique to theindustry and is not anticipated to be difficult or costly to replicate or replace.

 

Thebackend technology solution also houses and manages all customer data providing us with additional key functionality, including to providecustomer service and support and data analytics for various marketing initiatives and reporting functions.

 

Wedo not anticipate selling any third-party products via our portal.

 

OurGrowth Strategy

 

Ourgrowth strategy includes the following key initiatives:

 

Utilizea variety of marketing channels using data analytics to attract customers

 

Wemarket and advertise our Mango products on a variety of advertising mediums including social media, online search websites, television,radio, out-of-home, and other media channels, to the extent we are legally able to, and in compliance with applicable FDA rules and requirements;however, due to such rules and requirements, we are extremely limited in the content of the claims and promotional statements that weare able to make regarding our products under applicable FDA regulations. We believe advertising in a diversified set of media channelsis important to prevent overreliance on any single channel and to maximize the exposure of our brand to our desired customers. We alsoseek to reach our customers through our own social media accounts, press coverage and public relations, internally developed educationaland lifestyle content, and through engagement of social media influencers, hired and paid celebrities and talent, and physical brandadvertising campaigns and in each case subject to applicable rules and regulations, which are expected to significantly limit the contentof such marketing materials. We believe that this overall strategy will drive customer traffic to our platform, including direct type-intraffic and organic online search traffic.

 

Wealso utilize a marketing strategy focused on analytics and data. We have designed our internal systems to measure consumer behavior,including which types of consumers generate more revenue in their first purchase, generate more revenue over time, generate more grossprofit from their purchases, and which types of consumers are most valuable over their lifetime. We also seek to measure the effectivenessof our marketing budgets and the rate of return we generate from our marketing campaigns. We also use outside marketing and advertisingfirms to assist management in identifying marketing and advertising campaigns, media purchases and mediums, and seeking to drive a sufficientrate of return from our marketing and advertising budgets.

 

Investin our telemedicine platform to enable sales throughout the United States

 

Weutilize both a synchronous and asynchronous approach through our telemedicine platform, connecting customers through our platform andcontracted physicians and pharmacy. An asynchronous visit allows a physician to verify the patient’s identity, demographics andcollect the medical history online without needing to physically see or speak to the patient while a synchronous visit requires the doctorto either speak directly to the patient and/or see the patient either via video conference or in person. As discussed above, we focusour sales in the District of Columbia and the 47 states where our related party pharmacy is licensed, with the goal of eventually undertakingsales across all 50 states, pending licensing approvals of our related party pharmacy.

Providesubscription plans for recurring revenue and introduction of new products

 

Weprovide our customers with an option to purchase our Mango products on a subscription basis. Subscription plans provide an easy and convenientway for customers to get ongoing treatment while simultaneously providing us with predictability through a recurring revenue stream.

 

Forsubscription plans, customers are able to select a desired timeframe in which to receive products, which ranges from once every monthto once every six months, depending on several factors. The customer is then billed on a recurring basis based on the selected timeframeand specified quantity of product, which is shipped after each billing from our contracted pharmacy (Epiq Scripts (defined and discussedbelow)). Customers are able to cancel subscriptions in between billing periods to stop receiving additional products and reactivate subscriptions.Our integrated technology platform allows us to efficiently serve customers from customer discovery, through the purchase of productson our website, to connecting customers with medical providers for telehealth consultations (through our contracted physician network(which is contracted through Epiq Scripts (defined and discussed below)), to the fulfillment and delivery of orders (through our contractedpharmacy), and finally through ongoing management by medical providers (also through our contracted physician network). We believe thatour platform provides us cost advantages and efficiencies to offer customers affordable prices and generate increased revenues over time.

 

Weintend to launch new products over time and offer additional subscription-based offerings which we hope will result in growth in revenuethrough recurring revenue streams.

 

MarketOverview

 

TheMarket for ED Products

 

Accordingto a January 2022 report published by Verified Market Research, the Global Erectile Dysfunction Drugs Market size was valued at $3.63billion in 2020, mainly due to the increase in patient awareness and the early adoption of sedentary lifestyle. Verified Market Researchalso projects that the total Global Dysfunction Drugs Market size will contract to $2.95 billion in 2028. The expected reason for thiscontraction is poor patient compliance with erectile dysfunction drugs and the future availability of cost-effective imitation medicines,as well as side effects of ED drugs. We do not anticipate our Mango ED drug suffering from these limitations, as we believe our productis easy to use and that we have priced our product competitively. Separately, Grand View Research, in a July 2022 report, projects thatthe U.S. market (where we initially plan to market our ED product) for erectile dysfunction drugs which is estimated at approximately$1.1 billion as of 2021, will increase at a 7.4% compound annual growth rate though 2030.

 

Further,it is estimated that nearly 3-in-5 men questioned in the U.S. have suffered from erectile dysfunction, according to a survey reportedin February 2022 by LetsGetChecked, a leading at-home health screening and insights company (based on research carried out by OpiniumResearch among 2,006 men in the U.S., 1,178 of whom had previously experienced erectile dysfunction, from February 7-10, 2020). Accordingto that study, age isn’t that big a factor either, with 56% of men 18 to 34 years old being affected, compared to 63% of thoseover the age of 55. The study also determined that most men blame psychological factors for ED - with 41% blaming stress, 34% blaminghaving “too much on their mind,” and 31% believing it is performance anxiety.

 

TheMarket for Mango GROW

 

Accordingto the website of the American Hair Loss Association, (a) two-thirds of American men will experience some degree of hair loss by theage of 35, (b) by age 50, around 85 percent of men have significantly thinning hair; and (c) for around 25% of men, the start of malepattern baldness can begin before the age of 21. Additionally, and contrary to societal belief, we believe that most men who suffer frommale pattern baldness are unhappy with their situation and would take steps to change that. In our experience, hair loss affects everyaspect of the hair loss sufferer’s life including interpersonal relationships as well as the professional lives of those suffering.

 

Accordingto a May 2022 market study entitled, “Hair Loss Prevention Products Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis- by Product Type (Shampoos and Conditioners, Oils, Serums, and Others), Category (Natural & Organic, and Conventional), End User(Men, Women, and Unisex), and Distribution Channel (Supermarkets and Hypermarkets, Convenience Stores, Online Retail, and Others)”,by The Insight Partners, the hair loss prevention products market size was valued at $23.6 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach$31.5 billion by 2028, growing at a projected compound annual growth rate of 4.2% from 2021 to 2028.

 

MordorIntelligence LLP believes that the major factors driving the hair loss prevention market are changing lifestyle patterns, adoption ofa hectic schedule that increases stress levels, which in turn results in frequent hair loss at an earlier stage among the young population,growing disposable income, and increased emphasis on appearances.

Competitionand Competitive Advantages

 

Wemainly compete with other companies offering men’s wellness products, including Hims & Hers Health, Inc. and Roman. With ourMango ED products, we compete against much larger pharmaceutical companies which offer ED branded drugs like Viagra (Pfizer) and Cialis(marketed by Lilly ICOS LLC, a joint venture between Eli Lilly and Company and ICOS Corporation) and their generic forms. With our MangoGROW product, we compete against the much larger pharmaceutical company Merck & Co., which offers the branded hair loss product Propeciaand Johnson & Johnson, the owner of Rogaine® - a branded form of Minoxidil. These companies have much greater resources thanwe do and well-known brand names.

 

Ourfuture men’s wellness products will also likely need to compete against other traditional healthcare providers, pharmacies, andlarge retailers that sell non-prescription products.

 

Furthermore,we compete with other companies, which have greater resources and a greater advertising budget, and which are also selling ED relatedproducts with either or both Tadalafil and Sildenafil (or similar products) in an oral disintegrating tablet and who are selling compoundedMinoxidil and Finasteride in both topical form (e.g., gels, foams, liquid solutions) and in oral capsule, tablet or pill form. For example,we are aware of other companies that are currently selling oral disintegrating tablets for ED, including those using a combination ofTadalafil and Sildenafil (the active ingredient in Viagra). However, we are not aware of any companies that are selling a compound consistingof Minoxidil and Finasteride in an oral disintegrating tablet form.

 

Weintend to compete against these competitors based on our branding, advertising, unique compounding, and delivery system (i.e., our Mangoproduct has been designed to be taken sublingually, rather than in pill form).

 

Relativeto other online direct to consumer telemedicine companies that are selling both generic ED medication and generic hair loss medications,we believe we have priced both our Mango ED products and Mango GROW product at a premium, due to the cost of compounding the productand the use of multiple ingredients. We are currently aware of a handful of other direct to consumer companies that are also sellingcompounded hair loss and ED medications and who are selling their products at a higher price than Mango’s current price. When comparingthe current market for various pharmaceutical related hair loss and ED products, we have attempted to position our pricing to be slightlyabove average as we anticipate marketing or Mango ED and Mango GROW products to a demographic that we expect will pay a premium for whatwe believe to be a premium product relative to the competition for the treatment of hair loss and erectile dysfunction.

 

RegulatoryEnvironment

 

Weproduce and sell our Mango ED and Mango GROW product and plan to produce and sell our future pharmaceutical products, under an exemptionprovided by Section 503A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FFDCA Act”). Section 503A describes the conditionsunder which compounded human drug products are exempt from the FFDCA Act sections on FDA approval, current good manufacturing practice(“cGMP”) requirements, and labeling with adequate directions for use. One of these conditions is that the drugs must be compoundedbased on the receipt of valid patient-specific prescriptions; another condition limits “copying” of FDA-approved products,which restricts compounding drugs that have the same active ingredients and route of administration as FDA-approved products that arecommercially available. The FDA also prohibits any marketing or promotional statements that are “false or misleading in any particular,”including making any unsupported superiority claims against other products or the failure to disclose a material fact.

Notwithstandingthe above, under relevant FDA guidance, the FDA generally does not consider a compounded drug to be “essentially a copy”of a commercially available drug if the compounded drug has a different route of administration as compared with the approved alternative,and our Mango ED and Mango GROW products are for a different route of administration (e.g., sublingual). In addition, the FDA does notconsider a compounded drug to be “essentially a copy” of a commercially available drug if the approved product cannot beused for the prescribed route of administration, which is available in the compounded version (which we believe it cannot, as discussedbelow). Finally, we do not expect that we will be deemed to have engaged in such “copying”, because our Mango ED and MangoGROW products are based on a prescriber’s determination for each patient that the change associated with the compounded product(our Mango ED or Mango GROW product) produces for the patient a significant difference as compared with the commercially available drugproduct. Under relevant FDA guidance, the FDA does not consider a compounded drug “essentially a copy” if a prescriber determinesthat there is a change, made for an identified individual patient, which produces for that patient a significant difference from thecommercially available product.

 

UnderSection 503A of the FFDCA Act, it is the prescribing practitioner who determines if a compounded drug is necessary for the identifiedpatient and whether the change associated with the compounded product produces for the patient a significant difference as compared withthe commercially available drug product. FDA’s guidance states that the FDA generally does not intend to question prescriber determinationsthat are appropriately documented. Our Mango ED and Mango GROW compounded products have been formulated as a Rapid Dissolve Tablet usinga sublingual (applied under the tongue) delivery system to bypass the stomach and liver. We believe this offers a significant differencebased on the fact that the approved versions are not available in the same route of administration (i.e., sublingual). A sublingual formulationmay be able to meet the clinical needs of a particular patient who desires a more rapid onset of action compared to an FDA-approved oralformulation. In addition, because the prevalence of ED generally increases with age, older patients who may have difficulty swallowingan FDA-approved oral formulation may benefit from a sublingual formulation that dissolves under the tongue.

 

Compoundeddrugs, like our Mango ED and Mango GROW products, are not FDA-approved. This means that the FDA does not verify the safety or effectivenessof such drugs. Instead, consumers rely on the determination of a prescribing physician that the compounded drug is necessary for theindividual patient. Compounded drugs also lack an FDA finding of manufacturing quality before such drugs are marketed.

 

TheFDA has the authority to impose significant restrictions on products through regulations on advertising, promotional and distributionactivities. In particular, the FDA will object to any promotional activity (including through testimonials and surrogates) that is “falseor misleading in any particular,” including the failure to disclose material facts. For example, the FDA will expect adequate substantiationfor an efficacy claim, which would require substantial evidence derived from adequate and well-controlled clinical trials. We believewe can conduct truthful and non-misleading promotional activities, including activities involving the use of testimonials and surrogates,with limited claims that do not require substantial evidence derived from adequate and well-controlled clinical trials and which do notinclude efficacy claims.

 

Weare also aware of data in the scientific literature supporting how the proposed combination of the compounds which make up our MangoED product (i.e., Tadalafil or Sildenafil, Oxytocin, and L-arginine) might be expected to perform in ED patients. Previous clinical studies(none of which we have paid for or undertaken ourselves) have suggested that either Sildenafil or Tadalafil and L-arginine in combinationfor treatment of ED may be more effective than either compound alone-This is because L-arginine may increase nitric oxide, that in turnmay increase cyclic guanosine monophosphate, which has relaxation and vasodilation (dilatation of blood vessels) effects on smooth muscleto assist in the treatment of ED. Furthermore, Oxytocin is a neurotransmitter linked to increased levels of social interaction, well-being,and anti-stress effects and clinical studies suggest administration of Oxytocin may stimulate certain aspects of social interaction,and may cause anti-anxiety and anti-stress effects.

 

Furthermore,we are aware of data in the scientific literature supporting the efficacy of Minoxidil as an oral treatment (as discussed below), asopposed to topical treatments that have been more traditionally used and marketed for hair growth to date. Topical Minoxidil and oralFinasteride are current the standard first-line treatments for androgenetic alopecia (AGA)(male pattern baldness). Minoxidil in an oralformulation has been previously used for the treatment of severe and uncontrolled hypertension at a dose of 10-40 mg. Unintentionally,the early trials of oral minoxidil as an antihypertensive drug documented side effects such as hypertrichosis (excessive hair growthanywhere on the body) and hirsutism (excess hair most often noticeable around the mouth and chin) with chronic use. A study conductedby Ratchathorn Panchaprateep & Suparuj Lueangarun, and published in the September 24, 2020 edition of Dermatology and Therapy, foundthat oral minoxidil at a dose of 5 mg taken once daily, significantly increased hair growth in men with AGA after 12 and 24 weeks oftreatment (Panchaprateep, R., Lueangarun, S. Efficacy and Safety of Oral Minoxidil 5 mg Once Daily in the Treatment of Male Patientswith Androgenetic Alopecia: An Open-Label and Global Photographic Assessment. Dermatol Ther (Heidelb) 10, 1345-1357 (2020)).

Separately,Finasteride taken orally in the amount of 1 mg per day has shown to promote scalp hair growth and prevent further hair loss in a significantproportion of men with male pattern hair loss (McClellan, K.J., Markham, A. Finasteride. Drugs 57, 111-126 (1999).

 

Neitherwe, nor our representatives have had any conversations with the FDA staff regarding whether our Mango ED or Mango GROW product can besold pursuant to Section 503A of the FFDCA Act and future conversations with the FDA may result in the FDA staff raising issues withsuch sales pursuant to Section 503A of the FFDCA, requiring certain pre-requisites or changes to our current business plan, which maybe costly or time consuming, and/or may result in us being prohibited from selling our Mango ED or Mango GROW product pursuant to Section503A of the FFDCA Act.

 

OurContracted Telehealth Provider

 

Inmany states, including Texas where our principal business operations are located, the corporate practice of medicine doctrine prohibitscorporations from practicing medicine and from employing physicians to provide professional medical services. Many states that recognizethis doctrine also prohibit physicians from agreeing to share the fees they receive for professional services with unlicensed entitiesor individuals, a practice that is commonly known as “fee splitting.” The requirements for compliance with any applicablecorporate practice of medicine and fee splitting restrictions vary among the states. In Texas, for example, there is no statute thatexpressly prohibits fee splitting, but the corporate practice of medicine doctrine has been interpreted to prohibit physicians from cedingcontrol over their fee structures to corporate entities or giving a substantial portion of the fees received to corporate entities.

 

Inorder to comply with the corporate practice of medicine and fee splitting restrictions, we do not employ or directly contract with individualphysicians or physician groups, nor do we control their medical decision-making or charges. Rather, on August 1, 2022, we entered intoa Physician Services Agreement (the “Physicians Agreement”) with BrighterMD, LLC doing business as Doctegrity (“Doctegrity”),as discussed in further detail below under, which has agreed to make available to us, healthcare professionals, to allow them to provideclinical services directly to our future customers via telehealth. We have integrated these healthcare professionals to allow for telehealthconsultations and related services on our Mangoceuticals platform. This platform is the backbone of our business as it connects consumerswith both the medical provider and the pharmacy for fulfillment. It is also the system that we use to create marketing funnels for outgoingmarketing, customer management and support, and analytics for future sales.

 

PhysicianServices Agreement with Doctegrity

 

Pursuantto the Physicians Agreement, Doctegrity, which provides online telemedicine technology services and provides access to independentlycontracted licensed physicians and providers, agreed to (a) arrange for the services of a physician or, where appropriate, a mid-levelpractitioner with delegated authority from a physician, licensed in the appropriate state the practice of medicine will take place, whowill establish a physician/patient relationship with patients associated with our platform in accordance with the laws and regulationsof the appropriate state(s) and also provide physician review and assessment and quality control of our or related brands’ advertisingof services, medical questionnaires and related prescription requests; and (b) provide an asynchronous telehealth platform (and in certaincases, synchronous capabilities in certain U.S. states where and when available and applicable) which provides patient access to licensedphysicians in the state from which the patient, who is participating under our platform, resides.

 

Wechose to contract with Doctegrity after reviewing and comparing the fees and services offered by similar telehealth platform companiesthat facilitate visits between health care professionals and patients.

 

7

 

Aftera patient visits our website and submits a request for a consultation with a health care professional, Doctegrity will communicate thepatient’s information to one of its affiliated physicians. Doctegrity and the physicians are responsible for conducting the telehealthconsultation and any ongoing communication with the patient in accordance with applicable laws. The physicians make a determination,in their sole discretion, as to whether or not to prescribe our products (currently our Mango ED and Mango GROW products) to potentialcustomers. If the physicians prescribe our Mango ED or Mango GROW product, then the customers will pay us for our products. In turn,Epiq Scripts, LLC, pursuant to the Master Services Agreement discussed below, is provided information on the customer and compoundingof our product, compound the product, and ship the product to customers using packaging and shipping materials which we supply.

 

Wepay Doctegrity for each physician visit conducted in response to request made by a patient on our website, regardless of whether thephysician prescribes our product to the patient. The fee we pay Doctegrity is fixed, set in advance and was negotiated at arms’length after comparing the prices offered by similar services. We are not a party to any contracts between Doctegrity and any healthprofessionals or physician groups and do not control how Doctegrity reimburses these providers.

 

Althoughour arrangement with Doctegrity, as summarized above, is structured to comply with applicable laws, including those restricting the corporatepractice of medicine and fee splitting, there may be a risk that a state agency, now or in the future as these laws (and interpretationsof them) evolve, would conclude that the arrangement and fee structure between Doctegrity and its contracted physicians and/or our agreementwith Doctegrity violates the corporate practice of medicine doctrine and fee splitting restrictions in Texas or in another state wherea patient who uses our Mangoceuticals platform is located.

 

ThePhysicians Agreement has a term of one year subject to automatic one-year renewals unless and until terminated in accordance with thePhysicians Agreement, including by either party with 90 days’ prior written notice with or without cause and for cause with tendays’ written notice.

 

Relationshipwith Epiq Scripts

 

MasterServices Agreement with Epiq Scripts

 

OnSeptember 1, 2022, and effective on August 30, 2022, we entered into a Master Services Agreement (the “MSA”) with Epiq Scripts,LLC (“Epiq Scripts”), which at the time was 51%-owned by American International Holdings Corp (“American International”).Mr. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, served as the Chief Executive Officer and a director of, and had voting controlover, American International at the time of the entry into the Master Services Agreement. As discussed under “Company Informationand Formation,” our company was wholly-owned by American International until April 16, 2022, when control of our company was soldto Cohen Enterprises, Inc. (“Cohen Enterprises”), which is owned by Mr. Cohen. Epiq Scripts was formed in January 2022, andonly began compounding drugs for patients in November 2022. On February 15, 2023, the 51% of Epiq Scripts then owned by American Internationalwas transferred to Mr. Cohen as part of an exchange transaction, whereby Mr. Cohen agreed to cancel his preferred stock of American International,which provided him voting control over American International, in exchange for among other assets, American International’s ownershipof Epiq Scripts. As a result, Epiq Scripts is currently 51% owned by Mr. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Additionally,Mr. Cohen has served as the co-Manager of Epiq Scripts since January 2022.

 

Pursuantto the Master Services Agreement and a related statement of work (“SOW”), Epiq Scripts agreed to provide pharmacy and relatedservices to us, we agreed to exclusively use Epiq Scripts as the provider of the Services (defined below) during the term of the agreement,so long as Epiq Scripts complies with the terms of the Master Services Agreement. The agreement also includes a 30-day right of firstrefusal for Epiq Scripts to provide pharmacy services for any new product that Mango may introduce during the term of the agreement.

 

Pursuantto the SOW, Epiq Scripts agreed to provide for the online fulfillment, specialty compounding, packaging, shipping, dispensing and distribution(collectively, the “Services”) of products sold exclusively via our website that may be prescribed as part of a telehealthconsultation on our platform. Epiq Scripts also agreed to provide mail service pharmacy services to us on an exclusive basis during theterm of the SOW.

Weagreed to provide Epiq Scripts with all custom packaging materials, including but not limited to, individual sachet and/or blister packagingmaterials, outer box packaging, and any custom inserts and/or marketing information to accompany the prescription shipment, if any andto provide Epiq Scripts with quarterly sales forecasts to ensure Epiq Scripts has enough packaging materials on hand to cover a 90-dayperiod. We agreed to pay for all direct shipping, delivery and related courier costs and to provide Epiq Scripts with direct access toany online accounts to access and generate shipping labels for the fulfillment and delivery of our products.

 

TheSOW has a term through December 31, 2025, automatically renewable thereafter for successive one-year terms unless either party terminatesthe agreement at least 90 days before renewal thereof and the SOW is subject to the same termination rights of the parties as set forthin the Master Services Agreement (discussed below).

 

Pursuantto the SOW, we agreed to pay Epiq Scripts certain fixed rate fees for prescription fulfillment, processing and packaging (per prescription)and drug compounding (per pill), provided the per pill rate is reduced upon us exceeding 3,500 product packages per month.

 

Underthe Master Services Agreement, we are solely responsible for billing and collecting funds from our customers and Epiq Scripts is paidout of funds that we actually collect.

 

Wepaid Epiq Scripts a total of $60,000 upon our entry into the Master Services Agreement, comprising $45,000 as a one-time non-refundabletechnology systems setup and implementation fee and $15,000 as an upfront retainer to be credited towards the future provision of pharmacyand related services as outlined and detailed in the Master Services Agreement and SOW, of which $11,745 remained outstanding as of December31, 2022 and $84,382 remained outstanding as of September 30, 2023. All costs related to the pharmacy services provided by Epiq Scriptsare listed as related party costs of revenues on our statement of operations.

 

TheMaster Services Agreement has a term of five years, automatically renewable to additional one-year terms thereafter unless either partyprovides the other notice of termination at least 90 days prior to the date of automatic renewal. The Master Services Agreement can beterminated (i) upon breach of the agreement by the other party, subject to a 90-day cure right, (ii) if a party enters into bankruptcyor fails to pay its debts as they become due, or (iii) if Epiq Scripts becomes unable to perform the services covered by the Master ServicesAgreement and any statements of work associated therewith.

 

EpiqScripts is located in Texas, and has filed with the Utilization Review Accreditation Commission (“URAC”) to obtain its pharmacyaccreditation and obtained its first state license in the State of Texas in February 2022. Epiq Scripts currently has State Board ofPharmacy (or its equivalent) licenses to operate in the District of Columbia and 47 states: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut,Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan,Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota,Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia,Wisconsin, and Wyoming and plans to eventually obtain licenses in all 50 states by the end of 2023, with some state licenses easier toobtain and quicker to obtain than others. Although Epiq Scripts is physically located in Texas, it can ship products to customers ineach state in which it holds a license.

 

Asa result of the above, Epiq Scripts can currently only provide the Services to us in the District of Columbia and the 47 states describedabove, and we are unable to sell products to any customers in any states other than those named above, until Epiq Scripts is able toobtain licenses in other states and will thereafter be limited to selling products to customers only in the states in which Epiq Scriptsholds licenses.

FirstAmendment to MSA

 

OnSeptember 15, 2023, we entered into a First Addendum to Master Services Agreement with Epiq Scripts (the “First Amendment”).

 

Pursuantto the First Amendment, the parties agreed to amend the MSA to include certain Right of first negotiation rights and right of first refusalrights (each as discussed below). Additionally, the First Amendment provides for certain rights to Epiq Scripts in the event that theCompany seeks to obtain pharmaceutical services in connection with certain Company products (collectively, “Pharmaceutical Services”)in jurisdictions other than the United States, including, without limitation, Mexico and the United Kingdom, where Epiq Scripts doesnot currently maintain licenses or permits (“Future Jurisdictions”, which shall also include, to the extent applicable, anystate in the United States in which Epiq Scripts does not then hold required permits or licenses for the provision of the PharmaceuticalServices) and/or to terminate Epiq Scripts’ rights to provide exclusive Pharmaceutical Services in any current state of the UnitedStates or Future Jurisdiction where Epiq Scripts may then be providing Pharmaceutical Services to the Company (each a “CurrentJurisdiction”).

 

Specifically,the parties agreed in the First Amendment that should the Company decide to transfer any services provided by Epiq Scripts in a CurrentJurisdiction to another pharmaceutical service provider (“Transferred Services”), the Company will be required to pay EpiqScripts a fee of 1% of the total gross sales of all Prescription Products (defined below) by the Company resulting from the TransferredServices in the Current Jurisdiction, for a period of the lesser of (a) five (5) years from the date the Company transferred the TransferredServices; and (b) through the end of the term of the MSA (including where applicable, any renewal term)(the “Non-Use Fee”).The Non-Use Fee is payable monthly in arrears, for calendar quarters, by the 15th day following the end of each calendar quarter. “PrescriptionProducts” means Products (as defined in the MSA) sold by the Company which must be prescribed by a medical doctor.

 

Notwithstandingthe above, the Non-Use Fee shall not apply, and the Company shall not be obligated to pay any Non-Use Fee (a) in the event that the TransferredServices are provided directly by the Company or a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company; (b) in the event the Company decides toenter into an agreement with another pharmaceutical service provider to provide Pharmaceutical Services in a Future Jurisdiction; or(c) in connection with any services provided by any parties in any Future Jurisdictions.

TheFirst Amendment also provides that until the fifth anniversary of the First Amendment, the Company shall notify Epiq Scripts in writingof any plans to (a) expand its need for pharmacy services outside of those contemplated by the MSA; (b) expand its need for pharmacyservices into a new jurisdiction which Epiq Scripts does not then operate in (including, but not limited to new countries); or (c) beginproviding pharmacy services internally (either through organic growth or acquisition). Thereafter Epiq Scripts has the right to providethe Company written notice of its intention to provide such services (as described in (a) or (b) above, whereafter the Company is requiredto discuss and negotiate such services in good faith with Epiq Scripts for a period of not less than 15 days). Otherwise, in the eventof the occurrence of an event discussed in (c) above, the Company is required to discuss the possibility of Epiq Scripts either co-operatingthe pharmacy or providing management services to the Company in good faith for 15 days. In the event after such 15 day period, the Companyand Epiq Scripts cannot come to a mutually agreeable agreement, the Company is under no further obligation regarding the matter set forthin the notice provided to Epiq Scripts.

 

Finally,the First Amendment includes a requirement whereby if Epiq Scripts receives notice of any proposed fundamental transaction involvingEpiq Scripts or its assets, including any agreement, arrangement, offer or proposal (including a letter of intent, term sheet, form ofdefinitive agreement or definitive agreement) for an asset sale or acquisition, merger, acquisition or sale of securities, or redemptionor repurchase of securities, Epiq Scripts must provide the Company notice of such offer within three days, after which receipt the Companywill have the right of first refusal for 30 days to become the purchaser in connection with the notified transaction, on the terms, andsubject to the conditions, set forth in such notified offer and pursuant to the conditions of the First Amendment.

 

RecentEvents

 

SecuritiesPurchase Agreement

 

Effective on April 5, 2024 (the “Initial Closing Date”),we agreed to definitive terms on a Securities Purchase Agreement dated April 4, 2024 (the “SPA”), with an institutional accreditedinvestor (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser agreed to purchasefrom the Company, 1,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company for $1,650,000, and warrants (the “Warrants”, andthe shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof, the “Warrant Shares”), to purchase up to 3,300,000 shares of commonstock, par value $0.0001 per share of the Company (the “Common Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $1,500,000.

 

Pursuantto the SPA, the sale of the Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants is to take place over up to three closings as follows:

 

  

Initial Stated

Initial Closing  $550,000    3,300,000   Initial Closing Date  $500,000 
Second Closing  $275,000        The earlier of (a) the date mutually approved by the Company and the Purchaser; and (b) three business days after the Stockholder Approval and Effectiveness  $250,000 
Third Closing  $825,000        The Stockholder Approval and Effectiveness  $750,000 
Total  $1,650,000           $1,500,000 

 

Onthe Initial Closing Date, the Company sold the Purchaser 500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Initial Closing Shares”)and the Warrants, for an aggregate of $500,000. As described in the table above, the sale of an additional 250 shares of Series B PreferredStock for $250,000, is to occur upon the earlier of the mutual approval of the Company and the Purchaser, and three business days afterthe Stockholder Approval and Effectiveness (as defined below); and the sale of an additional 750 shares of Series B Preferred Stock isexpected to occur upon Stockholder Approval and Effectiveness.

Asdiscussed below, the Series B Preferred Stock each have an initial stated value of $1,100 per share, and as a result, the effective purchaseprice of the Series B Preferred Stock shares sold, and agreed to be sold to the Purchaser, without taking into account the Warrants,is a 10% discount to the stated value thereof.

 

Theconsummation of the Second Closing and Third Closing contemplated by the SPA, are subject to various customary closing conditions aswell as Stockholder Approval and Effectiveness (as hereinafter defined).

 

Pursuantto the SPA, the Company agreed that until Stockholder Approval (as defined below) is obtained, the Company would not issue any sharesof Common Stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock or upon exercise of the Warrants, to the extent that after giving effectthereto, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued pursuant to the SPA and the ELOC (as defined below), andthe other transaction documents entered into in connection therewith would exceed 4,721,538 shares of Common Stock (representing 19.99%of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the SPA) (such maximum number ofshares, the “Exchange Cap”).

 

TheSPA requires us, as soon as practicable after the Initial Closing Date, but in any event no later than 30 days thereafter (the “StockholderMeeting Deadline”), to hold a meeting of stockholders to seek approval of a waiver of the Exchange Cap and, if needed, an increasein the authorized number of shares of Common Stock (approval of all such proposals, the “Stockholder Approval”), byproviding each stockholder of the Company a proxy statement. If, despite the Company’s best efforts, the Stockholder Approval isnot obtained on or prior to the Stockholder Meeting Deadline, we are required to hold additional stockholder meetings, at least semi-annuallyuntil such Stockholder Approval is obtained. “Effectiveness” means the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) declaringeffective the registration statement required to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, discussed below.

 

From(a) the Initial Closing Date until 30 days after the effective date of the registration statement registering for resale all of the WarrantShares and shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock which may be sold at the Initial Closing,Second Closing and Third Closing (and if such Option Closing has occurred as of such date, the Option Conversion Shares)(subject to certaincutback rights described in the Registration Rights Agreement), the Company is prohibited from (i) issuing, entering into any agreementto issue or announcing the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock, Common Stock equivalents, preferred stock orpreferred stock equivalents or (ii) filing any registration statement or amendment or supplement thereto, other than the filing a registrationstatement on Form S-8 in connection with any employee benefit plan; and (b) from the Initial Closing Date until 180 days after the InitialClosing Date, the Company is prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any ofits subsidiaries of Common Stock, Common Stock equivalents, preferred stock or preferred stock equivalents (or a combination of unitsthereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the SPA), except for an equity line of credit.

The purchase price to be paidfor the Option Shares is $1,000,000 (the “Option Price”), and the Option can be exercised at any time on or beforethe date that is six months following the date of the Third Closing.

 

Finally,the SPA provides that until the 18th month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Purchaser has the right to participate inany issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents or any offering of debt or any othertype of financing, or a combination thereof (other certain customary exempt issuances)(each a “Subsequent Financing”),in an amount not to exceed the amount of the Purchaser’s subscription, on the same terms, conditions and price provided for inthe Subsequent Financing.

 

TheCompany has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock 50,000,000 of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrantsand conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock.

RegistrationRights Agreement

 

Inconnection with the SPA, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”)with the Purchaser. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is required to file a resale registration statement (the“Registration Statement”) with the SEC to register for resale of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuableupon conversion of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock which may be sold at the Initial Closing, Second Closing and Third Closing(and if such Option Closing has occurred as of such date, the Option Conversion Shares), shares of Common Stock issuable in lieu of cashdividends which could accrue on the Series B preferred Stock for a period of two years, and the Warrant Shares, within 30 days of theClosing Date, and to have such Registration Statement declared effective within 5 trading days after the date notified by the SEC thatthe SEC is not reviewing the Registration Statement, in the event the Registration Statement is not reviewed by the SEC, or 60 days ofthe Closing Date in the event the Registration Statement is reviewed by the SEC. The Company will be obligated to pay certain liquidateddamages to the Purchaser if the Company fails to file the Registration Statement when required, fails to cause the Registration Statementto be declared effective by the SEC when required, of if the Company fails to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

 

Theregistration statement of which this prospectus forms a part was filed in compliance with the Company’s obligations pursuant tothe Registration Rights Agreement.

 

TheCompany has agreed, among other things, to indemnify the Purchaser and its affiliates with respect to certain liabilities and to payall fees and expenses incident to the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

TheSPA and the Registration Rights Agreement contain customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company, customary conditionsto closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Purchaser, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.

Warrants

 

Atthe Initial Closing, the Company issued the Purchaser the Warrants to purchase up to 3,300,000 shares of Common Stock. The exercise priceof the Warrants is $0.26 (the “Exercise Price”). The Exercise Price is subject to adjustment in the event of customarystock splits, stock dividends, combinations or similar events. If at any time following the 120th day after the Initial Closing,there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the shares of CommonStock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Warrants can be exercised on a cashless basis and the Company is subject to certainliquidated damages and damages as described in greater detail in the Common Share Purchase Warrant entered into on the Initial ClosingDate to evidence the Warrants (the “Warrant Agreement”).

 

TheWarrants are exercisable on or after October 4, 2024, and for five years thereafter.

 

TheWarrants contain provisions that prohibit exercise if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99%of the number of the Company’s shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. The holderof the Warrants may increase or decrease this percentage, but not in excess of 9.99%, by providing at least 61 days’ prior noticeto the Company. In the event of certain corporate transactions, the holder of the Warrants will be entitled to receive, upon exerciseof the Warrants, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holder would have received had it exercised the Warrantsimmediately prior to such transaction.

Ifthe Company or any subsidiary at any time while the Warrants are outstanding, shall sell, enter into an agreement to sell or grant anyoption to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or anyoption to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents, at an effective price per share less than theexercise price of the Warrants then in effect (such lower price, the “Base Share Price” and such issuances collectively,a “Dilutive Issuance”) then simultaneously with the consummation (or, if earlier, the announcement) of each DilutiveIssuance the exercise price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price. No adjustment however is to be made forcertain customary Exempt Issuances (as defined in the SPA).

 

TheWarrants also include customary buy-in rights in the event the Company fails to timely deliver the shares of Common Stock issuable uponexercise thereof.

 

Ifat any time the Warrants are outstanding there occurs any share split, share dividend, share combination recapitalization or other similartransaction involving the Common Stock (each, a “Share Combination Event”, and such date thereof, the “ShareCombination Event Date”) and the Event Market Price (defined below) is less than the then exercise price then in effect, thenon the sixth trading day immediately following such Share Combination Event Date, the exercise price then in effect on such sixth tradingday is automatically reduced (but in no event increased) to the Event Market Price. The “Event Market Price” means,with respect to any Share Combination Event Date, the quotient determined by dividing (x) the sum of the volume weighted average priceof the Common Stock for each of the five trading days ending and including the trading day immediately preceding the sixth trading dayafter such Share Combination Event Date, divided by (y) five.

 

ELOC

On the Initial Closing Date, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of the Company’sCommon Stock to the Purchaser as a commitment fee (the “Commitment Shares”). In connection with the Financing, onthe Closing Date, the Company and the Purchaser also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “ELOC RRA”).

 

Uponfiling and effectiveness of a Registration Statement on Form S-1 to register the Advance Shares (defined below) and provided other closingconditions are met, from time to time over the term of the ELOC, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to directthe Purchaser to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Advance Shares”) in a maximum amount ofone hundred percent (100%) of the average daily trading volume over the five trading days preceding the applicable advance date. At anytime and from time to time during the 2-year term of the ELOC (the “Commitment Period”), the Company may deliver anotice to Purchaser (the “Advance Notice”) and shall deliver the Advance Shares to Purchaser via DWAC (as definedin the ELOC) on the next trading day. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Advance Shares shall equal90.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Purchaser for the resale of the Advance Shares during the three consecutive trading daysimmediately following the date an Advance Notice is delivered (the “Valuation Period”). The closing of an AdvanceNotice shall occur within two trading days following the end of the respective Valuation Period, whereby the Purchaser shall deliverthe Investment Amount (as defined below) to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Company shall not deliveranother Advance Notice to Purchaser within one trading day of a prior closing of Advance Shares. The “Investment Amount”means the aggregate Purchase Price for the Advance Shares purchased by the Purchaser, minus clearing costs payable to the Purchaser’sbroker or to the Company’s transfer agent for the issuance of the Advance Shares.

TheELOC terminates upon the first to occur of April 4, 2026; the date that $25,000,000 in Advance Shares have been purchased by the Purchaser;the date that the Company terminates the ELOC, which may be terminated in the Company’s option at any time following effectivenessof the Registration Statement registering the resale of the Advance Shares, except that the ELOC can’t be terminated at any timethe Purchaser holds any Advance Shares; and upon the Company entering into bankruptcy protection (such period of time that the ELOC isin place, the “Commitment Period”).

 

Pursuantto the ELOC, the Purchaser agreed, that neither it, nor any of its affiliates, will in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly,during the period commencing on the date of the ELOC and ending on (x) earlier of the date of the delivery of the first Advance Noticeby the Company, and (y) the date that is six months from the date the ELOC was entered into (the “Lock-Up Termination Date”),(i) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any optionor contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, make any short sale, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, any sharesof Common Stock; (ii) enter into any transaction that is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the transfer to anotherperson, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any shares of Common Stock (each, a “Disposition”);or (iii) publicly disclose the intention to make any Disposition or engage in any short sale, without the prior written consent of theCompany.

MarketingAgreement

 

OnDecember 10, 2023, we entered into a Marketing Agreement with Marius Pharmaceuticals, LLC (“Marius”) allowing us the useof the trademark “Kyzatrex®” oral testosterone undecanoate softgel capsules (the “Marius Marks”), for thepurposes of branding, packaging, marketing, and selling Kyzatrex® on our website, and to be sold via our telehealth platform at www.MangoRx.com (the “Marius Agreement”).

NasdaqNon-Compliance

 

Ourcommon stock is currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “MGRX”. Notwithstanding such listing, there is no guarantee thatwe will be able to maintain our listing on NASDAQ for any period of time. Among the conditions required for continued listing on Nasdaq,NASDAQ requires us to maintain at least $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity, $35 million in market value of listed securities,or $500,000 in net income over the prior two years or two of the prior three years, to have a majority of independent directors (subjectto certain “controlled company” exemptions, which we do not currently meet), to comply with certain audit committeerequirements, and to maintain a stock price over $1.00 per share. Our stockholders’ equity is currently not above NASDAQ’s$2.5 million minimum, as discussed below, we may not generate over $500,000 of yearly net income moving forward, we may not maintain$35 million in market value of listed securities, we may not be able to maintain independent directors (to the extent required), andas discussed below, we do not currently have a stock price over $1.00 per share. Nasdaq’s determination that we fail to meet thecontinued listing standards of NASDAQ may result in our securities being delisted from Nasdaq.

 

20

 

OnOctober 30, 2023, we received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying us that we were not in compliancewith the minimum bid price requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on Nasdaq. Nasdaq Listing Rule5550(a)(2) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, and Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides thata failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of thirty (30) consecutive businessdays. Based on the closing bid price of our common stock for the thirty (30) consecutive business days from September 15, 2023 to October27, 2023, we no longer meet the minimum bid price requirement.

 

Theletter did not impact the listing of our common stock on Nasdaq. Instead, the letter stated that we have 180 calendar days or until April29, 2024, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To regain compliance, the bid price of our common stock must havea closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. If we do not regain compliance by April29, 2024, an additional 180 days may be granted to regain compliance, so long as we meet Nasdaq’s initial listing criteria (exceptfor the bid price requirement)(which we do not currently meet, as we do not have stockholders’ equity of at least $5 million) andnotify Nasdaq in writing of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split,if necessary. If we do not qualify for the second compliance period or fail to regain compliance during the second 180-day period, ourcommon stock will be subject to delisting, at which point we would have an opportunity to appeal the delisting determination to a HearingsPanel.

 

Weintend to monitor the closing bid price of our common stock and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regaincompliance with the minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

 

Separately,on November 3, 2023, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying us that our stockholders’equity as reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2023 (the “Form 10-Q”), did notmeet the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) requires companieslisted on Nasdaq to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000. In our Form 10-Q, we reported stockholders’ equityof $1,354,821, which is below the minimum stockholders’ equity required for continued listing pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).Additionally, we do not meet the alternative Nasdaq continued listing standards under Nasdaq Listing Rules.

 

Thisnotice of noncompliance had had no immediate impact on the continued listing or trading of our common stock on Nasdaq, which continuesto be listed and traded on Nasdaq, subject to our compliance with the other continued listing requirements. Nasdaq has given us untilDecember 18, 2023 to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance. We plan to submit a plan of compliance within that time period andif our plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of Nasdaq’s letter to evidencecompliance.

 

Weare confident that we can regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum stockholders’ equity standard within the compliance periodand we expect to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) upon the closing of this offering. However, there can be no assurancethat our plan will be accepted or that if it is, we will be able to regain compliance. If our plan to regain compliance is not accepted,or if it is and we do not regain compliance within 180 days from the date of Nasdaq’s letter, or if we fail to satisfy anotherNasdaq requirement for continued listing (including the requirement that we maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 per share,which as discussed above, the Company is not currently in compliance with), Nasdaq could provide notice that our common stock will becomesubject to delisting. In such event, Nasdaq rules would permit us to appeal the decision to reject our proposed compliance plan or anydelisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

 

Evenif we demonstrate compliance with the requirements of Nasdaq as discussed above, we will have to continue to meet other objective andsubjective listing requirements to continue to be listed on Nasdaq. Delisting from Nasdaq could make trading our common stock more difficultfor investors, potentially leading to declines in our share price and liquidity. Without a Nasdaq listing, stockholders may have a difficulttime getting a quote for the sale or purchase of our stock, the sale or purchase of our stock would likely be made more difficult, andthe trading volume and liquidity of our stock could decline. Delisting from Nasdaq could also result in negative publicity and couldalso make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital. The absence of such a listing may adversely affect the acceptance ofour common stock as currency or the value accorded by other parties. Further, if we are delisted, we would also incur additional costsunder state blue sky laws in connection with any sales of our securities. These requirements could severely limit the market liquidityof our common stock and the ability of our stockholders to sell our common stock in the secondary market. If our common stock is delistedby Nasdaq, our common stock may be eligible to trade on an over-the-counter quotation system, such as the OTCQB Market or the OTC Pinkmarket, where an investor may find it more difficult to sell our stock or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our commonstock. In the event our common stock is delisted from Nasdaq, we may not be able to list our common stock on another national securitiesexchange or obtain quotation on an over-the counter quotation system.

Adelisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations andour ability to attract new investors, reduce the price at which our common stock trades, decrease, investors’ ability to make transactionsin our common stock, decrease the liquidity of our outstanding shares, increase the transaction costs inherent in trading such shares,and reduce our flexibility to raise additional capital without overall negative effects for our stockholders.

 

Implicationsof Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

Wequalify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the federal securities laws. An emerging growth company may take advantageof specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies in the United States. Theseprovisions include:

 

  a requirement to have only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations disclosure in this prospectus;
     
  reduced executive compensation disclosure; and
     
  an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

 

Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced disclosure requirements. We may take advantage of these provisionsuntil we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: (1) (a)December 31, 2028 (the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Company’s IPO on March21, 2023), (b) the last day of the fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues are $1.235 billion or more, or (c) the date on whichwe are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer,” under the rules of the SEC, which means the market value of our equity securitiesthat is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of our second quarter, and (2) the date on which we have issued morethan $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

 

Inaddition, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply toprivate companies. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - EmergingGrowth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have elected to use the extended transitionperiod. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of public companies that comply withsuch new or revised accounting standards.

RISKFACTORS

 

Investingin our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risk factorsdescribed herein, together with all of the other information appearing herein, before deciding whether to purchase any of the Company’sstock. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The tradingprice of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Please also readcarefully the section titled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” contained elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

Ourbusiness is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those described below and elsewhere in this prospectus. These risksinclude, but are not limited to, the following:

 

  Our need for additional funding, the availability and terms of such funding, and dilution caused thereby;
     
  We have a limited operating history, have produced only a limited amount of products and have generated only limited revenues to date;
     
  Our ability to execute our growth strategy and scale our operations and risks associated with such growth, and our ability to attract members and customers;
     
  The effect of pandemics and governmental responses thereto on our operations, those of our vendors, our customers and the economy in general;
     
  Risks associated with our ED product which has not been, and will not be, approved by the FDA and has not had the benefit of the FDA’s clinical trial protocol which seeks to prevent the possibility of serious patient injury and death;
     
  Risks that the FDA may determine that the compounding of our planned products does not fall within the exemption from the FFDCA Act provided by Section 503A;
     
  Our significant reliance on related party transactions and risks associated with such related party relationships and agreements;
     
  The effect of data security breaches, malicious code and/or hackers;
     
  Competition and our ability to create a well-known brand name;
     
  Changes in consumer tastes and preferences;
     
  Material changes and/or terminations of our relationships with key parties;

 

24

 

  Significant product returns from customers, product liability, recalls and litigation associated with tainted products or products found to cause health issues;
     
  Our ability to innovate, expand our offerings and compete against competitors which may have greater resources;
     
  Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Jacob D. Cohen, has significant voting control over the company which may deter some investors;
     
  Our ability to prevent credit card and payment fraud;
     
  Risks associated with inflation, and increases in interest rates and economic downturns, including potential recessions, as well as macroeconomic, geopolitical, health and industry trends, pandemics, acts of war (including the ongoing Ukraine/Russian conflict and Israel/Hamas conflict) and other large-scale crises;
     
  The risk of unauthorized access to confidential information;
     
  Our ability to protect our intellectual property and trade secrets, claims from third-parties that we have violated their intellectual property or trade secrets and potential lawsuits in connection therewith;
     
  Our and our providers’ ability to comply with government regulations, changing regulations and laws, penalties associated with any non-compliance (inadvertent or otherwise), the effect of new laws or regulations, and our ability to comply with such new laws or regulations;
     
  Our reliance on our current management and the terms of their employment agreements with us;
     
  The outcome of future lawsuits, litigation, regulatory matters or claims;
     
  The fact that certain recent initial public offerings of companies with public floats comparable to the public float of the Company have experienced extreme volatility that was seemingly unrelated to the underlying performance of the respective company; and the fact that we may experience similar volatility, which may make it difficult for investors to assess the value of our common stock;
     
  Certain terms and provisions of our governing documents which may prevent a change of control, and which provide for indemnification of officers and directors, limit the liability of officers or directors, and provide for the board of director’s ability to issue blank check preferred stock; and
     
  The volatile nature of the trading price of our common stock; dilution experienced by investors in the offering; and dilution which may be caused by future sales of securities.

 

RisksRelated to our Operating History and Need for Funding

 

Wewere recently formed, have a limited operating history and have generated only limited revenues to date and there is no assurance thatwe can generate revenues or sell any commercial amount of our products in the future. We will need to raise additional funding to supportour operations in the future.

 

Wewere only recently formed and have a limited operating history. We launched our website in mid-November 2022. To date we have sold onlya small number of products and generated only limited revenues and have not sold sufficient quantities of our Mango ED or Mango GROWproducts to support our operations. There is no assurance that we can generate revenues sufficient to support our operations, and evenif additional revenues are generated, there is no assurance that we can generate sufficient net income to support our operations. Asreflected in the accompanying financials, the Company had a net loss of $9,170,435 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and an accumulateddeficit of $11,186,191 as of December 31, 2023. Additionally, the Company had a net loss of $1,998,055 for the year ended December 31,2022 and an accumulated deficit of $2,015,756 as of December 31, 2022.

 

25

 

Wehave experienced recurring net losses since inception. We believe that we will continue to incur substantial operating expenses in theforeseeable future as we continue to invest to bring our Mango ED and Mango GROW products to market and to attract customers, expandthe product offerings and enhance technology and infrastructure. These efforts may prove more expensive than we anticipate, and we maynot succeed in generating commercial revenues or net income to offset these expenses. Accordingly, we may not be able to achieve profitability,and we may incur significant losses for the foreseeable future. Our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatoryparagraph in its report on our financial statements as of December 31, 2023, included herein. As of the date of this prospectus, ourcurrent capital resources, combined with the net proceeds from the offering, are expected to be sufficient for us to fund operationsfor the next 12 months. We will need funding in addition to the funding raised in our IPO and Follow On Offering to support our operationsin the future. We may also seek to acquire additional businesses or assets in the future, which may require us to raise funding. We currentlyanticipate such funding, if required, being raised through the offering of debt or equity. Such additional financing may not be availableon favorable terms, if at all. If debt financing is available and obtained, our interest expense may increase and we may be subject tothe risk of default, depending on the terms of such financing. If equity financing is available and obtained it may result in our shareholdersexperiencing significant dilution. If such financing is unavailable, we may be forced to curtail our business plan, which may cause thevalue of our securities to decline in value.

 

Sincewe have a limited operating history, it is difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business and our business is in a relativelynew consumer product segment, which is difficult to forecast.

 

Ourlimited operating history in the health and wellness industry may hinder our ability to successfully meet our objectives and makes itdifficult for potential investors to evaluate our business or prospective operations. As an early-stage company, we are subject to allthe risks inherent in the financing, expenditures, operations, regulatory compliance, complications and delays inherent in a new business.Accordingly, our business and success face risks from uncertainties faced by developing companies in a competitive environment. The likelihoodof our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, regulatory challenges, complications and delays frequentlyencountered in connection with the formation of a new business, the development of a new strategy and the competitive environment inwhich we operate. There can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful or that we will ultimately be able to attain profitability.

 

Additionally,our industry segment is relatively new, and is constantly evolving. As a result, there is a lack of available information with whichto forecast industry trends or patterns. There is no assurance that sustainable industry trends or preferences will develop that willlead to predictable growth or earnings forecasts for individual companies or the industry segment as a whole. We are also unable to determinewhat impact future governmental regulation may have on trends and preferences or patterns within our industry segment.

 

Weneed additional capital which may not be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all, and this raises questions about our abilityto continue as a going concern.

 

Weneed additional capital to support our operations and continue to market and commercialize our current Mango ED and Mango GROW products.We may also require additional funding in the future to support our operations, expand our product line, pay expenses, or expand or completeacquisitions. The most likely source of future funds presently available to us will be through the sale of equity capital or debt. Anysale of equity or convertible equity or debt will result in dilution to existing shareholders. Furthermore, we may incur debt in thefuture, and may not have sufficient funds to repay our future indebtedness or may default on our future debts, jeopardizing our businessviability.

 

26

 

Wemay not be able to borrow or raise additional capital in the future to meet our needs or to otherwise provide the capital necessary toexpand our operations and business, which might result in the value of our securities decreasing in value or becoming worthless. Additionalfinancing may not be available to us on terms that are acceptable. Consequently, we may not be able to proceed with our intended businessplans. Obtaining additional financing contains risks, including:

 

  additional equity financing may not be available to us on satisfactory terms and any equity or convertible equity or debt we are able to issue could lead to dilution for current shareholders;
     
  loans or other debt instruments may have terms and/or conditions, such as interest rate, restrictive covenants and control or revocation provisions, which are not acceptable to management or our directors;
     
  the current environment in capital markets combined with our capital constraints may prevent us from being able to obtain adequate debt financing; and
     
  if we fail to obtain required additional financing to commercialize our products and grow our business, we would need to delay or scale back our business plan, reduce our operating costs, or delay product launches, each of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, future prospects, and financial condition.

 

Additionally,we may have difficulty obtaining additional funding, and we may have to accept terms that would adversely affect our shareholders. Forexample, the terms of any future financings may impose restrictions on our right to declare dividends (provided that none are currentlyplanned) or on the manner in which we conduct our business. Additionally, lending institutions or private investors may impose restrictionson a future decision by us to make capital expenditures, acquisitions or significant asset sales. If we are unable to raise additionalfunds, we may be forced to curtail or even abandon our business plan.

 

RisksRelated to Our Business Activities

 

Wemay not be able to successfully commercialize our Mango ED or Mango GROW products or any other potential future men’s wellnessproducts.

 

Wemay not be able to effectively commercialize our Mango ED or Mango GROW products or any other potential future men’s wellness products.If we are unable to successfully commercialize our Mango ED and Mango GROW products or successfully develop, produce, launch and commercializeany other potential future men’s wellness products, our ability to generate product sales will be severely limited, which willhave a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

27

 

Weexpect to face intense competition, often from companies with greater resources and experience than we have.

 

Thehealth, wellness, and telemedicine industries are highly competitive and subject to rapid change. The industries continue to expand andevolve as an increasing number of competitors and potential competitors enter the market. Many of these competitors and potential competitorshave substantially greater financial, technological, managerial and research and development resources and experience than we have. Wemainly compete with other companies offering men’s wellness products, including Hims & Hers Health, Inc. and Roman, and withour Mango ED products, we are also competing against much larger pharmaceutical companies who offer ED branded drugs like Viagra (Pfizer)and Cialis (marketed by Lilly ICOS LLC, a joint venture between Eli Lilly and Company and ICOS Corporation) and their generic forms.With our Mango GROW product, we compete against the much larger pharmaceutical company Merck & Co., which offers the branded hairloss product Propecia, and Johnson & Johnson, the owner of Rogaine® - a branded form of Minoxidil. The majority of these competitorsand potential competitors have more experience than we have in the development of health and wellness services and products. In addition,our planned services and products will compete with service and product offerings from large and well-established companies that havegreater marketing and sales experience and capabilities than we or the parties with which we contract have. If we are unable to competesuccessfully, we may be unable to grow and sustain our revenue.

 

Webelieve that our ability to compete depends upon many factors both within and beyond our control, including:

 

  our marketing efforts;
     
  the flexibility and variety of our product offerings relative to our competitors, and our ability to timely launch new product initiatives;
     
  the quality and price of products offered by us and our competitors;
     
  our reputation and brand strength relative to our competitors;
     
  customer satisfaction;
     
  the size and composition of our customer base;
     
  the convenience of the experience that we provide;
     
  our ability to comply with, and manage the costs of complying with, laws and regulations applicable to our business; and
     
  our ability to cost-effectively source and distribute the products we offer and to manage our operation.

 

Manycompetitors also have longer operating histories, and will have larger fulfillment infrastructures, greater technical capabilities, fastershipping times, lower-cost shipping, lower operating costs, greater financial, marketing, institutional and other resources and largerconsumer bases than we do. These factors may also allow our competitors to derive greater revenue and profits from their existing consumerbases, acquire consumers at lower costs or respond more quickly than we are able to, to new or emerging technologies and changes in producttrends and consumer shopping behavior. These competitors may engage in more extensive research and development efforts, enter or expandtheir presence in any or all of the ecommerce or retail channels where we compete, undertake more far-reaching marketing campaigns, andadopt more aggressive pricing policies, which may allow them to build larger consumer bases or generate revenue from their existing consumerbases more effectively than we are able to. As a result, these competitors may be able to offer comparable or substitute products toconsumers at similar or lower costs. This could put pressure on us to lower our prices, resulting in lower revenue and margins or causeus to lose market share even if we lower prices.

 

28

 

Furthermore,companies with greater resources or more well-known brand names may attempt to compete with us, and as a result, we may lose currentor potential customers and may be unable to generate sufficient revenues to support our operations, any one of which could have a materialadverse effect on our ability to grow and our results of operations.

 

Wemay not successfully compete with larger competitors that have greater financial, sales, technical and other resources. Companies withgreater resources may acquire our competitors or launch new products, and they may be able to use their resources and scale to respondto competitive pressures and changes in consumer preferences by reducing prices or increasing promotional activities, among other things.

 

Ifwe fail to successfully provide a good customer experience, including by developing new product offerings, our ability to attract membersand customers may be materially adversely affected.

 

Ourability to obtain customers and retain future customers, attract customers and increase customer engagement with us will depend in parton our ability to successfully implement and improve our customer experience, including by continuing to create and introduce new productofferings, improving upon and enhancing our existing product offerings and strengthening our customers interactions with our brand andproducts. If new or enhanced product offerings are unsuccessful, we may be unable to attract or retain customers and our operating resultscould be materially adversely affected. Furthermore, new or shifting customer demands, tastes or interests, superior competitive offeringsor a deterioration in our product offering quality or our ability to bring new or enhanced product offerings to market quickly and efficientlycould negatively affect the attractiveness of our products and the economics of our business and require us to make substantial changesto and additional investments in our product offerings or business model.

 

Counterfeitversions of our products could harm our customers and have a negative impact on our revenues, earnings, reputation and business.

 

Ourindustry is subject to illegal counterfeiting and the presence of counterfeit products in certain of our markets and over the Internet.Third parties may illegally distribute and sell counterfeit versions of our products, which do not meet our manufacturing and testingstandards, and which contain varying ingredients. To customers counterfeit products may be visually indistinguishable from the authenticversion. Counterfeit products pose a risk to customer health and safety because of the conditions under which they are manufactured aswell as the lack of regulation of their ingredients. The sale of counterfeit products could adversely impact our business and reputationby impacting customer confidence in our authentic products, potentially resulting in lost sales, product recalls, and an increased threatof litigation.

 

Wemay expend our limited resources to pursue particular products or services and may fail to capitalize on products or services that maybe more profitable or for which there is a greater likelihood of success.

 

Becausewe have limited financial and managerial resources, we must focus our efforts on particular service programs and products. As a result,we may forego or delay pursuit of opportunities with other services or products that later prove to have greater commercial potential.Our resource allocation decisions may cause us to fail to capitalize on viable commercial products or profitable market opportunities.Any such failure could result in missed opportunities and/or our focus on products or services with low market potential, which wouldharm our business and financial condition. Our current use of proceeds is specifically focused on among other things, the marketing andselling of our current Mango ED and Mango GROW products and includes capital allocated for future products or services anticipated tobe sold in the future under the ‘Mango’ label and brand.

Wehave entered into a Master Services Agreement and Statement of Work with Epiq Scripts, LLC, a related party, which entity is currentlylicensed to provide pharmacy services in only 47 states and the District of Columbia.

 

Asdescribed in greater detail under “Business-Material Agreements-Master Services Agreement with Epiq Scripts” and “-FirstAmendment to MSA,” we have entered into a Master Services Agreement and SOW for Epiq Scripts, a related party, 51% owned and controlledby Jacob D. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to provide us pharmacy and compounding services. Epiq Scripts has filedwith the Utilization Review Accreditation Commission (“URAC”) to obtain its pharmacy accreditation and has State Board ofPharmacy (or its equivalent) licenses in the District of Columbia and 47 states: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware,Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota,Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio,Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin,and Wyoming. It is also in the process of applying for additional state licenses and plans to eventually obtain licenses in all 50 statesby the end of the first quarter of 2024. As a result of the above, Epiq Scripts can currently only provide the Services to us in the47 states described above and the District of Columbia, and we are unable to sell products to any customers in any states other thanthose 47 states and the District of Columbia, until Epiq Scripts is able to obtain licenses in other states and is limited to sellingproducts to customers only in the states in which Epiq Scripts holds licenses.

 

TheMaster Services Agreement does not address product liability claims which may result in us bringing legal claims or actions against EpiqScripts to attempt to seek indemnification or contribution for product liability claims.

 

Eachparty to the Master Services Agreement agreed to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other and the other party’s officers,directors, shareholders, employees, and agents from and against any and all nonparty claims, or actions for damages, liabilities (includingstrict liability), penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees, expenses and costs) to the proportionate extent causedby (1) the negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnitor or any of its employees or agents in connection with the performance ofthe agreement, or (2) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant under the agreement by the indemnitor or any of its employeesor agents. Additionally, the parties agreed that neither party will be liable to the other for special, incidental, or exemplary damages,subject to certain limited exceptions. The Master Services Agreement does not address product liability claims or assign any rights ofindemnification or contribution in connection therewith. As a result, in the event of product liability claims, we may be forced to bringlegal claims or actions against Epiq Scripts to attempt to seek indemnification or contribution for product liability claims, to theextent that we are sued in connection with such claims and Epiq Scripts isn’t sued or that we are found primarily liable for suchclaims. Such claims may be costly, time consuming, and may not ultimately result in a favorable outcome to us, all of which may havean adverse effect on the value of our securities.

 

Wecurrently owe certain rights to Epic Scrips under the Management Services Agreement which may limit our future operations and/or havea material adverse effect on our operations and cash flow.

 

Asdescribed in greater detail under “Business-Material Agreements-Master Services Agreement with Epiq Scripts” and “-FirstAmendment to MSA,” we have entered into a Master Services Agreement and SOW for Epiq Scripts, a related party, 51% owned and controlledby Jacob D. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to provide us pharmacy and compounding services. Pursuant to the MasterServices Agreement and a related SOW, Epiq Scripts agreed to provide pharmacy and related services to us, we agreed to exclusively useEpiq Scripts as the provider of online fulfillment, specialty compounding, packaging, shipping, dispensing and distribution servicesrelating to products sold exclusively via our website, that may be prescribed as part of a telehealth consultation on our platform, duringthe term of the Master Services Agreement, so long as Epiq Scripts complies with the terms of the Master Services Agreement. The agreementalso includes a 30-day right of first refusal for Epiq Scripts to provide pharmacy services for any new product that Mango may introduceduring the term of the Master Services Agreement.

 

30

 

Pursuantto the Master Services Agreement, as amended, Epiq Scripts has certain rights in the event that the Company seeks to obtain pharmaceuticalservices in connection with certain Company products (collectively, “Pharmaceutical Services”) in jurisdictions other thanthe United States, including, without limitation, Mexico and the United Kingdom, where Epiq Scripts does not currently maintain licensesor permits (“Future Jurisdictions”, which shall also include, to the extent applicable, any state in the United States inwhich Epiq Scripts does not then hold required permits or licenses for the provision of the Pharmaceutical Services) and/or to terminateEpiq Scripts’ rights to provide exclusive Pharmaceutical Services in any current state of the United States or Future Jurisdictionwhere Epiq Scripts may then be providing Pharmaceutical Services to the Company (each a “Current Jurisdiction”).

 

Specifically,should the Company decide to transfer any services provided by Epiq Scripts in a Current Jurisdiction to another pharmaceutical serviceprovider (“Transferred Services”), the Company will be required to pay Epiq Scripts a fee of 1% of the total gross salesof all Prescription Products (defined below) by the Company resulting from the Transferred Services in the Current Jurisdiction, fora period of the lesser of (a) five (5) years from the date the Company transferred the Transferred Services; and (b) through the endof the term of the Master Services Agreement (including where applicable, any renewal term)(the “Non-Use Fee”). The Non-UseFee is payable monthly in arrears, for calendar quarters, by the 15th day following the end of each calendar quarter. “PrescriptionProducts” means Products (as defined in the Master Services Agreement) sold by the Company which must be prescribed by a medicaldoctor.

 

Notwithstandingthe above, the Non-Use Fee shall not apply, and the Company shall not be obligated to pay any Non-Use Fee (a) in the event that the TransferredServices are provided directly by the Company or a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company; (b) in the event the Company decides toenter into an agreement with another pharmaceutical service provider to provide Pharmaceutical Services in a Future Jurisdiction; or(c) in connection with any services provided by any parties in any Future Jurisdictions.

 

Pursuantto the Master Services Agreement, as amended, until September 15, 2028, the Company is required to notify Epiq Scripts in writing ofany plans to (a) expand its need for pharmacy services outside of those contemplated by the Master Services Agreement; (b) expand itsneed for pharmacy services into a new jurisdiction which Epiq Scripts does not then operate in (including, but not limited to new countries);or (c) begin providing pharmacy services internally (either through organic growth or acquisition). Thereafter Epiq Scripts has the rightto provide the Company written notice of its intention to provide such services (as described in (a) or (b) above, whereafter the Companyis required to discuss and negotiate such services in good faith with Epiq Scripts for a period of not less than 15 days). Otherwise,in the event of the occurrence of an event discussed in (c) above, the Company is required to discuss the possibility of Epiq Scriptseither co-operating the pharmacy or providing management services to the Company in good faith for 15 days. In the event after such 15day period, the Company and Epiq Scripts cannot come to a mutually agreeable agreement, the Company is under no further obligation regardingthe matter set forth in the notice provided to Epiq Scripts.

 

Therights and obligations set forth above could have a material adverse effect on the Company, its plans for future products and expansions,or make such future products or expansion more costly or time consuming.

 

Wecurrently exclusively rely, and continue to exclusively rely, on Epiq Scripts, a related party entity with a limited operating history,for our pharmacy compounding services.

 

Asdisclosed herein, we have entered into a Master Services Agreement with Epiq Scripts, a related party, 51% owned and controlled by JacobD. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to operate as our sole and exclusive licensed pharmacy to compound our Mango ED andMango GROW products to customers, assuming such Mango ED and Mango GROW products are prescribed by physicians pursuant to our agreementwith Doctegrity. Epiq Scripts was only formed in January 2022, and has only been compounding drugs for patients for a short period oftime. We currently exclusively rely, and continue to exclusively rely, on Epiq Scripts. We face risks relying on a newly formed pharmacywith limited operations. Those risks include risks that Epiq Scripts will not be able to follow applicable regulatory guidelines relatingto, will not be able to timely or cost effectively complete, or may not correctly, fulfill, specialty compound, package, ship, dispenseand/or distribute our Mango ED and Mango GROW products. If Epiq Scripts is not able to scale its operations to meet the demand of ouroperations, or is unable to undertake any of the actions described above, our business may be materially and adversely affected, we mayneed to find a new partner pharmacy, which may charge us more money for its services or may not have as favorable contract terms, wemay be delayed or prevented from selling our Mango ED and Mango GROW products, and may face fines, penalties or litigation. In the eventof the occurrence of any of the above, the value of our securities may decline in value or become worthless.

Theuse of social media and influencers may materially and adversely affect our reputation or subject us to fines or other penalties.

 

Weuse third-party social media platforms as part of our marketing strategy. We also maintain relationships with social media influencers.As existing e-commerce and social media platforms continue to rapidly evolve and new platforms develop, we expect to maintain a presenceon these existing platforms and expect them to be an important part of our marketing strategy. If we are unable to cost-effectively usesocial media platforms as marketing tools, if the social media platforms we use change their policies or algorithms, or if evolving lawsand regulations limit how we can market through these channels, if at all, we may not be able to fully optimize our use of such platformsand our ability to retain current customers and acquire new customers may suffer. Any such failure could adversely affect our reputation,revenue, and results of operations.

 

Inaddition, an increase in the use of social media for product promotion and marketing may increase the burden on us to monitor compliancerelated thereto, and increase the risk that such materials could contain problematic product or marketing claims in violation of applicableregulations. For example, in some cases, the Federal Trade Commission has sought enforcement action where an endorsement has failed toclearly and conspicuously disclose a financial relationship or material connection between an influencer and an advertiser. We do notcontrol the content of what our influencers post on social media, and if we were held responsible for any false, misleading, or otherwiseunlawful content of their posts or their actions, we could be fined or subjected to other monetary liabilities or required to alter ourpractices, which could have an adverse impact on our business, reputation, cash flows and ability to operate.

 

Negativecommentary regarding our business, or influencers who endorse our products and other third parties who are affiliated with or endorseus, may also be posted on social media platforms. Influencers with whom we maintain endorsement arrangements could engage in behavioror use their platforms to communicate with our customers in a manner that reflects poorly on our brand and may be attributed to us orotherwise adversely affect our reputation. Any such negative commentary could impact our reputation or brand and affect our ability toattract and retain customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

 

Ourbusiness depends on our brand, and any failure to maintain, protect or enhance our brand, including as a result of events outside ourcontrol, could materially adversely affect our business.

 

Webelieve our future success depends on our ability to maintain and grow the value of the “Mango” brand. Maintaining, promotingand positioning our brand and reputation will depend on, among other factors, the success of our marketing and merchandising effortsand our ability to provide a consistent, high-quality customer experience. Any negative publicity, regardless of its accuracy, couldmaterially adversely affect our business. Brand value is based in large part on perceptions of subjective qualities, and any incidentthat erodes the loyalty of our customers, including adverse publicity or a governmental investigation or litigation, could significantlyreduce the value of our brand and significantly damage our business.

 

Thevalue of our brand also depends on effective customer support to provide a high-quality customer experience, which requires significantpersonnel expense. If not managed properly, this expense could impact our profitability. Failure to manage or train our own or outsourcedcustomer support representatives properly, or our inability to hire sufficient customer support representatives could result in lower-qualitycustomer support and/or increased customer response times, compromising our ability to handle customer complaints effectively.

 

32

 

Ourability to gain and increase market acceptance and generate commercial revenues is subject to a variety of risks, many of which are outof our control.

 

OurMango ED and Mango GROW products and any other potential future men’s wellness products may not gain or increase market acceptanceamong physicians, patients, healthcare payors or the medical community. We believe that the degree of market acceptance and our abilityto generate commercial revenues from such products will depend on a number of factors, including:

 

  our ability to expand the use of our products through targeted patient and physician education;
     
  competition and timing of market introduction of competitive products;
     
  quality, safety and efficacy in the approved setting;
     
  prevalence and severity of any side effects, including those of the components of our products;
     
  emergence of previously unknown side effects, including those of the generic components of our products;
     
  potential or perceived advantages or disadvantages over alternative treatments;
     
  the convenience and ease of purchasing the product, as perceived by potential patients;
     
  strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;
     
  price, both in absolute terms and relative to alternative treatments;
     
  the effectiveness of any future collaborators’ sales and marketing strategies;
     
  the effect of current and future healthcare laws;
     
  availability of coverage and reimbursement from government and other third-party payors;
     
  recommendations for prescribing physicians to complete certain educational programs for prescribing drugs;
     
  the willingness of patients to pay out-of-pocket in the absence of government or third-party coverage; and
     
  product labeling, product insert, or new studies or trial requirements of the FDA or other regulatory authorities.

 

OurMango ED and Mango GROW and/or future products may fail to achieve market acceptance or generate significant revenue to achieve sustainableprofitability. In addition, our efforts to educate the medical community and third-party payors on the safety and benefits of our drugsmay require significant resources and may not be successful.

 

Wemay be unable to scale our operations fast enough to bring down our cost of sales and generate revenues sufficient to support our operations.

 

Webelieve that in general, the faster we are able to scale up our operations, the lower our cost of sales, as a percentage of revenue,will be, as we believe that certain economies of scale exist with our operations. If we are unable to grow our business fast enough totake advantage of these economies of scale, our operations may suffer, and we may not be profitable.

 

Economicdownturns or a change in consumer preferences, perception and spending habits could limit consumer demand for our products and negativelyaffect our future business.

 

Theproducts that we sell and plan to sell in the future (including our Mango ED and Mango GROW products) may be adversely affected fromtime to time by economic downturns that impact consumer spending, including discretionary spending. Future economic conditions such asemployment levels, business conditions, housing starts, market volatility, interest rates, inflation rates, energy and fuel costs andtax rates, or our actions in response to these conditions, such as price increases, could reduce consumer spending or change consumerpurchasing habits.

 

33

 

Ourperformance depends significantly on factors that may affect the level and pattern of consumer spending in the markets in which we operate.Such factors include consumer preference, consumer confidence, consumer income, consumer perception of the safety and quality of ourfuture products and shifts in the perceived value for our products relative to alternatives. A general decline in the consumption ofour future products could occur at any time as a result of change in consumer preference, perception, confidence and spending habits,including an unwillingness to pay a premium or an inability to purchase our products due to financial hardship or increased price sensitivity,which may be exacerbated by inflationary pressures, interest rates, and economic uncertainty. If consumer preferences shift away fromour products, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

Thesuccess of our products depends on a number of factors including our ability to accurately anticipate changes in market demand and consumerpreferences, our ability to differentiate the quality of our future products from those of our competitors, and the effectiveness ofour marketing and advertising campaigns for our products. We may not be successful in identifying trends in consumer preferences anddeveloping products that respond to such trends in a timely manner. We also may not be able to effectively promote our products by ourmarketing and advertising campaigns and gain market acceptance. If our products fail to gain market acceptance, are restricted by regulatoryrequirements or have quality problems, we may not be able to fully recover costs and expenses incurred in our operation, and our business,financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected.

 

Werely upon independent third-party transportation providers for all of our product shipments and are subject to increased shipping costsas well as the potential inability of our third-party transportation providers to deliver on a timely basis.

 

Werely upon independent third-party transportation providers for all of our product shipments, including shipments from our related partypharmacy to our customers. Our utilization of these third-party delivery services for shipments is subject to risks which may impacta shipping company’s ability to provide delivery services that adequately meet our shipping needs, including risks related to employeestrikes, labor and capacity constraints, port security considerations, trade policy changes or restrictions, military conflicts, actsof terrorism, accidents, natural disasters and inclement weather. Any interruption in service provided by our shipping companies couldcause temporary disruptions in our business, a loss of sales and profits, and other material adverse effects. In addition, we are subjectto increased shipping costs when fuel prices increase, as we use expedited means of transportation such as air freight. If we changethe shipping company we use, we could face logistical difficulties that could adversely affect deliveries, and we would incur costs andexpend resources in connection with such change.

 

Thefailure of our physician services provider, Doctegrity, to attract and retain physicians in a competitive labor market could limit ourability to execute our growth strategy, resulting in a slower rate of growth.

 

Thesuccess of our wellness business will depend on the ability of Doctegrity and any future contracted telemedicine services provider(s)to continue to recruit and retain a sufficient number of qualified licensed doctors. Although we believe such provider(s) will have aneffective recruitment process, there is no assurance that such provider(s) will be able to secure arrangements with sufficient numbersof licensed doctors or retain the services of such practitioners. If Doctegrity or any provider(s) we engage in the future, experiencedelays or shortages in obtaining access to qualified physicians, we would be unable to operate and may be forced to seek alternativearrangements which could be more costly or may be forced to suspend our business operations.

 

Ifwe are unable to maintain or enter into future agreements with suppliers or our suppliers fail to supply us with our Mango ED and MangoGROW products ingredients or any other potential future men’s wellness products, we may experience delays in selling our products.

 

Wemay not be successful in maintaining or entering into new supply agreements on reasonable terms or at all or that we or our supplierswill be able to obtain or maintain the necessary regulatory approvals or state and federal controlled substances registrations for currentor potential future suppliers in a timely manner or at all. If we are unable to obtain a sufficient quantity of active pharmaceuticalingredients manufactured at a facility that is registered and listed with the FDA and required to produce products, there could be adelay in producing products, which could adversely affect our product sales and operating results materially, which could significantlyharm our business. This has not occurred to date.

 

Wecurrently do not have any manufacturing facilities and intend to rely on third parties for the supply of our products (such as Epiq Scripts,which is a related party), as well as for the supply of materials. However, we cannot be certain that we or our suppliers will be ableto obtain or maintain the necessary regulatory approvals or registrations for these suppliers in a timely manner or at all.

 

34

 

Ourbusiness is exposed to risks associated with credit card and other online payment chargebacks and fraud.

 

Amajority of our revenue is, and is expected to be, processed through credit cards and other online payments. If we experience refundsor chargebacks, our processors could require us to create reserves, increase fees or terminate contracts with us, which would have anadverse effect on our financial condition. Our failure to limit fraudulent transactions conducted on our website, such as through theuse of stolen credit card numbers, could also subject us to liability and adversely impact our reputation. Under credit card associationrules, penalties may be imposed at the discretion of the association for inadequate fraud protection. Any such potential penalties wouldbe imposed on our credit card processor by the association. However, we face the risk that we may fail to maintain an adequate levelof fraud protection and that one or more credit card associations or other processors may, at any time, assess penalties against us orterminate our ability to accept credit card payments or other form of online payments from customers, which would have a material adverseeffect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

 

Wecould also incur significant fines or lose our ability to give customers the option of using credit cards to pay for our products ifwe fail to follow payment card industry data security standards, even if there is no compromise of customer information. Although webelieve that we operate in compliance with payment card industry data security standards, it is possible that at times we may not bein full compliance with these standards. Accordingly, we could be fined, which could impact our financial condition, or our ability toaccept credit and debit cards as payment could be suspended, which would cause us to be unable to process payments using credit cards.If we are unable to accept credit card payments, our business, financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected.

 

Inaddition, we could be liable if there is a breach of the payment information. Online commerce and communications depend on the securetransmission of confidential information over public networks. We rely on encryption and authentication technology to authenticate andsecure the transmission of confidential information, including cardholder information. However, this technology may not prevent breachesof the systems we use to protect cardholder information. In addition, some of our contracting parties may also collect or possess informationabout our customers, and we may be subject to litigation or our reputation may be harmed if our contracting parties fail to protect ourcustomers’ information or if they use it in a manner inconsistent with our policies and practices. Data breaches can also occuras a result of non-technical issues. Under contracts with processors, if there is unauthorized access to, or disclosure of, credit cardinformation we store, we could be liable to the credit card issuing banks for their cost of issuing new cards and related expenses.

 

Securitybreaches, loss of data and other disruptions could compromise sensitive information related to our business or customers, or preventus from accessing critical information and expose us to liability, which could adversely affect our business and our reputation.

 

Inthe ordinary course of our business, we collect, store, use and disclose sensitive data, including health information and other typesof personally identifiable information, or PII. We also process and store, and use additional third parties to process and store, confidentialand proprietary information such as intellectual property and other proprietary business information, including that of our customers,providers and contracting parties.

 

Securitybreaches of this infrastructure, including physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses, attacks by hackers and similar breaches,and employee or contractor error, negligence or malfeasance, can create system disruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized disclosure or modificationsof information, causing sensitive, confidential or proprietary information to be accessed or acquired without authorization or to becomepublicly available. Because of the nature of the sensitive, confidential and proprietary information that we expect to collect, store,transmit, and otherwise process, the security of our technology platform and other aspects of our services, including those providedor facilitated by our third-party service providers, will be important to our operations and business strategy. Measures taken to protectour systems, those of our third-party service providers, or sensitive, confidential and proprietary information that we or our third-partyservice providers process or maintain, may not adequately protect us from the risks associated with the collection, storage and transmissionof such information. A security breach or privacy violation that leads to disclosure or unauthorized use or modification of, or thatprevents access to or otherwise impacts the confidentiality, security, or integrity of, sensitive, confidential, or proprietary informationwe or our third-party service providers maintain or otherwise process, could harm our reputation, compel us to comply with breach notificationlaws, and cause us to incur significant costs for remediation, fines, penalties, notification to individuals and governmental authorities,implementation of measures intended to repair or replace systems or technology and to prevent future occurrences, potential increasesin insurance premiums, and forensic security audits or investigations. As a result, a security breach or privacy violation could resultin increased costs or loss of revenue.

 

35

 

Anyactual or suspected security breach or other compromise of our security measures or those of our third-party vendors, whether as a resultof hacking efforts, denial-of-service attacks, viruses, malicious software, break-ins, phishing attacks, social engineering or otherwise,could harm our reputation and business, damage our brand and make it harder to retain existing customers or acquire new ones, requireus to expend significant capital and other resources to address the breach, and result in a violation of applicable laws, regulationsor other legal obligations. Our insurance policies may not cover, or may not be adequate to reimburse us for, losses caused by any suchsecurity breach.

 

Werely on email and other messaging services to connect with our existing and potential customers. Our customers may be targeted by partiesusing fraudulent spoofing and phishing emails to misappropriate passwords, payment information or other personal information or to introduceviruses through Trojan horse programs or otherwise through our customers’ computers, smartphones, tablets or other devices. Despiteour efforts to mitigate the effectiveness of such malicious email campaigns through product improvements, spoofing and phishing may damageour brand and increase our costs. Any of these events or circumstances could materially adversely affect our business, financial conditionand operating results.

 

Asof the date of this filing, there have been no such data breaches or other security related issues.

 

Wemay experience fluctuations in our tax obligations and effective tax rate, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations,and financial condition.

 

Weare subject to taxes in every jurisdiction in which we operate. We record tax expense based on current tax liabilities and our estimatesof future tax liabilities, which may include reserves for estimates of probable settlements of tax audits. At any one-time, multipletax years are subject to audit by various taxing jurisdictions. The results of these audits and negotiations with taxing authoritiesmay affect the ultimate settlement of these issues. Further, our effective tax rate in a given financial statement period may be materiallyimpacted by changes in tax laws, changes in the mix and level of earnings by taxing jurisdictions, or changes to existing accountingrules or regulations. Fluctuations in our tax obligations and effective tax rate could adversely affect our business, results of operations,and financial condition.

 

Ifwe become subject to product liability claims, we may be required to pay damages that exceed our insurance coverage, if any.

 

Ourproducts are subject to risks for product liability claims due to inherent potential side effects. We may be unable to obtain or maintainproduct liability coverage. A product liability claim in excess of, or excluded from, our insurance coverage which currently covers exposureto product liability claims, both technology products and physical products, would have to be paid out of cash reserves and could havea material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition and results of operations. Product liability insurance is expensiveeven with large self-insured retentions or deductibles, difficult to maintain, and current or increased coverage may not continue tobe available on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

Ifwe cannot successfully defend ourselves against a product liability claim, we may incur substantial liabilities. Regardless of meritor eventual outcome, liability claims may result in:

 

  injury to our reputation;
     
  costs of defending the claim and/or related litigation;
     
  cost of any potential adverse verdict;
     
  substantial monetary awards to patients or other claimants; and
     
  the inability to commercialize our products.

 

36

 

Damagesawarded in a product liability action could be substantial and could have a negative impact on our financial condition. Whether or notwe were ultimately successful in product liability litigation, such litigation would consume substantial amounts of our financial andmanagerial resources, and might result in adverse publicity, all of which would impair our business.

 

Forexample, a 2014 study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association determined that Sildenafil (the active ingredientin Viagra and one of the ingredients we alternatively use, together with Sildenafil in our Mango ED product) may be associated with ahigher risk of developing melanoma. The study evaluated data from more than 25,000 men who used Sildenafil and found that Sildenafiluse was significantly associated with an increased risk of subsequent melanoma, after considering other risk factors. It is possiblethat the ingredients we use in our Mango ED and Mango GROW products or any other products we sell (including our Mango ED product, whichis made with Sildenafil as an alternative to Tadalafil), could be found to result in increases in the likelihood of developing canceror other diseases, which could subject us to litigation, penalties or recalls, all of which could have a material adverse effect on ouroperations and cause the value of our securities to decline in value or become worthless. Furthermore, our use of Sildenafil in our productscould subject us to litigation, penalties or recalls, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and cause thevalue of our securities to decline in value or become worthless.

 

Disruptionsin our data and information systems could harm our reputation and our ability to run our business.

 

Werely extensively on data and information systems for our supply chain, financial reporting, human resources and various other operations,processes and transactions. Furthermore, a significant portion of the communications between us, our suppliers and customers depend oninformation technology. Our data and information systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, computer and telecommunicationsfailures, computer viruses, security breaches (including breaches of our transaction processing or other systems that could result inthe compromise of confidential customer data), catastrophic events, data breaches and usage errors by our employees or third-party serviceproviders. Our data and information technology systems may also fail to perform as we anticipate, and we may encounter difficulties inadapting these systems to changing technologies or expanding them to meet the future needs of our business. If our systems are breached,damaged or cease to function properly, we may have to make significant investments to fix or replace them, suffer interruptions in ouroperations, incur liability to our customers and others or face costly litigation, and our reputation with our customers may be harmed.We also rely on third parties for a majority of our data and information systems, including for third-party hosting and payment processing.If these facilities fail, or if they suffer a security breach or interruption or degradation of service, a significant amount of ourdata could be lost or compromised and our ability to operate our business and deliver our product offerings could be materially impaired.In addition, various third parties, such as our suppliers and payment processors, also rely heavily on information technology systems,and any failure of these systems could also cause loss of sales, transactional or other data and significant interruptions to our business.Any material interruption in the data and information technology systems we rely on, including the data or information technology systemsof third parties, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

 

RisksRelated to Legal, Regulatory and Government

 

Weincur significant costs to ensure compliance with U.S. and Nasdaq reporting and corporate governance requirements.

 

Weincur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements and with applicable U.S. and Nasdaq corporate governancerequirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the SEC and Nasdaq. We expectall of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activitiesmore time-consuming and costly. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensivefor us to retain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incursubstantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retainqualified individuals to serve on our Board of Directors or as executive officers.

 

37

 

Ifwe fail to comply with government laws and regulations it could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

 

Thehealth care industry is subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to licensure, conduct of operations,ownership of facilities, addition of facilities and services, payment for services and prices for services that are extremely complexand for which, in many instances, the industry does not have the benefit of significant regulatory or judicial interpretation. We exercisecare in structuring our arrangements with physicians and other referral sources to attempt to comply in all material respects with applicablelaws. We also take such laws into account when planning future marketing and other activities, and expect that our operations are incompliance with applicable laws. The laws, rules and regulations described above are complex and subject to interpretation. In the eventof a determination that we are in violation of such laws, rules or regulations, or if further changes in the regulatory framework occur,any such determination or changes could have a material adverse effect on our business. There can be no assurance however that we willnot be found in noncompliance in any particular situation.

 

Separately,Federal law limits compounded drugs that are “essentially copies” of commercially available FDA approved drugs, includingthose with the same route of administration. If our Mango ED and Mango GROW products, or any future products we may choose to marketin the future are deemed to be “essentially copies” of commercially available FDA approved drugs we would be prohibited fromcompounding such drugs and would be unable to sell our Mango ED and Mango GROW drug or future products. If that were to occur, we wouldneed to change our business plan which would require substantial additional expenses and would have a material adverse effect on ourcash flows and the value of our securities.

 

Marketingactivities for our Mango ED and Mango GROW products are subject to strict governmental regulation which may limit our ability to marketor promote such product.

 

Ourbusiness model depends on qualifying for certain statutory exemptions for drugs that are compounded by pharmacies in accordance withapplicable requirements. Pharmacy compounding is also subject to state oversight and regulation. Federal requirements include obtainingindividual prescriptions establishing that the compounded drug is necessary for each drug prescribed for each of our customers. Federallaw also limits compounded drugs that are “essentially copies” of commercially available FDA approved drugs, including thosewith the same route of administration. These restrictions will limit our ability to market compounded drugs that have the same activeingredients and route of administration as FDA-approved drugs, unless the compounded version offers a significant difference that theprescriber determines is necessary for each individual patient.

 

TheFDA also has the authority to impose significant restrictions on approved products through regulations on advertising, promotional anddistribution activities. In particular, the FDA will object to any promotional activity (including through testimonials and surrogates)that is “false or misleading in any particular,” including the failure to disclose material facts. For example, the FDA willexpect adequate substantiation for an efficacy claim, which would require substantial evidence derived from adequate and well-controlledclinical trials. We believe we can conduct truthful and non-misleading promotional activities, including activities involving the useof testimonials and surrogates, with limited claims that do not require substantial evidence derived from adequate and well-controlledclinical trials and which do not include efficacy claims. If our products (including our Mango ED and Mango GROW products) are marketedin contradiction with FDA laws and regulations, the FDA may issue warning letters that require specific remedial measures to be taken,as well as an immediate cessation of the impermissible conduct, resulting in adverse publicity. The FDA may also require that all futurepromotional materials receive prior agency review and approval before use. Certain states have also adopted regulations and reportingrequirements surrounding the promotion of pharmaceuticals. Failure by us or any of our collaborators to comply with state requirementsmay affect our ability to promote or sell future products in certain states. This, in turn, could have a material adverse impact on ourfinancial results and financial condition and could subject us to significant liability, including civil and administrative remediesas well as criminal sanctions.

 

Theserestrictions may be more burdensome for compounded products as compared with FDA approved products because the latter have substantialevidence of safety and effectiveness, which will limit our ability to compete against the sale of comparable FDA-approved products.

 

38

 

Evolvinggovernment regulations and enforcement activities may require increased costs or adversely affect our results of operations.

 

Ouroperations may be subject to direct and indirect adoption, expansion or reinterpretation of various laws and regulations. Compliancewith these evolving laws, regulations and interpretations may require us to change our practices at an undeterminable and possibly significantinitial monetary and annual expense. These additional monetary expenditures may increase future overhead, which could have a materialadverse effect on our results of operations. There could also be laws and regulations applicable to our business that we have not identifiedor that, if changed, may be costly to us, and we cannot predict all the ways in which implementation of such laws and regulations mayaffect us.

 

Additionally,the introduction of new products may require us to comply with additional, yet undetermined, laws and regulations. Compliance may requireobtaining appropriate federal, state, or local licenses or certificates, increasing our security measures and expending additional resourcesto monitor developments in applicable rules and ensure compliance. The failure to adequately comply with these future laws and regulationsmay delay or possibly prevent our products from being offered to customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Failureto comply with federal, state and foreign laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection and consumer protection, or the expansionof current or the enactment of new laws or regulations relating to privacy, data protection and consumer protection, could adverselyaffect our business and our financial condition.

 

Avariety of federal, state and foreign laws and regulations govern the collection, use, retention, sharing and security of consumer data.Laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection and consumer protection are evolving and subject to potentially differing interpretations.These requirements may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another or may conflict withother rules or our practices. As a result, our practices may not comply with all such laws, regulations, requirements and obligations.Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with any federal, state or foreign privacy or consumer protection-related laws, regulations,industry self-regulatory principles, industry standards or codes of conduct, regulatory guidance, orders to which we may be subject orother legal obligations relating to privacy or consumer protection could adversely affect our reputation, brand and business, and mayresult in claims, investigations, proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others or other liabilities or requireus to change our operations.

 

Wecollect, store, process, and use personal information and other customer data, and will rely on third parties that are not directly underour control to manage certain of these operations and to collect, store, process and use payment information. Our customers’ personalinformation may include names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, payment card data, and payment account information, as wellas other information. Due to the volume and sensitivity of the personal information and data we and these third parties manage, the securityfeatures of our information systems are critical. If our security measures, some of which are managed by third parties, are breachedor fail, unauthorized persons may be able to access sensitive customer data, including payment card data. If we or our independent serviceproviders or business partners experience a breach of systems that collect, store or process our members’ and customers’sensitive data, our brand could be harmed, sales of our products could decrease, and we could be exposed to claims, losses, administrativefines, litigation or regulatory and governmental investigations and proceedings. Any such claim, investigation, proceeding or actioncould hurt our reputation, brand and business, force us to incur significant expenses in defense of such proceedings, distract our management,increase our costs of doing business, result in a loss of customers and suppliers and may result in the imposition of monetary penaltiesand administrative fines. Depending on the nature of the information compromised, we may also have obligations to notify users, law enforcement,or payment companies about the incident and may need to provide some form of remedy, such as refunds, for the individuals affected bythe incident.

 

39

 

Privacylaws, rules, and regulations are constantly evolving in the United States and abroad and may be inconsistent from one jurisdiction toanother. We expect that new industry standards, laws and regulations will continue to be proposed regarding privacy, data protectionand information security in many jurisdictions, including privacy acts previously adopted by the states of California, Colorado, Connecticut,Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Montana, New Jersey, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia, certain of which are already effective, andcertain of which become effective during 2023, and from 2024 to 2026. We cannot yet determine the impact such future laws, regulationsand standards may have on our business. Complying with these evolving obligations is costly. For instance, expanding definitions andinterpretations of what constitutes “personal data” (or the equivalent) within the United States and elsewhere mayincrease our compliance costs. Any failure to comply could give rise to unwanted media attention and other negative publicity, damageour customer and consumer relationships and reputation, and result in lost sales, claims, administrative fines, lawsuits or regulatoryand governmental investigations and proceedings and may harm our business and results of operations.

 

OurMango ED and Mango GROW products have not been, and will not be, approved by the FDA. The use of such products may cause serious sideeffects which could subject us to material litigation, damages and penalties.

 

OurMango ED and Mango GROW products have not been, and will not be, approved by the FDA. It is compounded using bulk drug substances andas such, we believe it is exempt from specific FDA approval, provided that it is compounded in accordance with statutory requirements.Because compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, the FDA does not verify their safety, effectiveness, or quality before they are marketed.In addition, poor compounding practices can result in serious drug quality problems, such as contamination or a drug that contains toomuch or too little active ingredient, among other possible quality deficiencies.

 

Weare not aware of any clinical studies involving the administration of Sildenafil or Tadalafil sublingually at the doses we intend toprovide patients, or the compounding of Sildenafil or Tadalafil, Oxytocin, and L-arginine to treat ED, as is contemplated by our MangoED products. We are also not aware of any clinical studies involving the administration of Minoxidil and Finasteride sublingually atthe dose we provide patients, or the compounding of Minoxidil, Finasteride, Vitamin D3 and Biotin, to attempt to treat hair loss, asis contemplated by our Mango GROW product.

 

Becauseour Mango ED and Mango GROW products have not been, and will not be, approved by the FDA, our products have not had the benefit of theFDA’s clinical trial protocol which seeks to prevent the possibility of serious patient injury and death. If this were to occur,we could be subject to litigation and governmental action, which could result in costly litigation, significant fines, judgments or penalties.For example, in October 2012, a pharmacy in Massachusetts shipped compounded drugs that were contaminated with a fungus throughout thecountry, and these drugs were injected into patients’ spines and joints. More than 750 people in 20 states developed fungal infections,and more than 60 people died. This type of action could have a significant negative impact on our brand name, results of operations andcash flows, and result in us having to cease selling products, curtailing our business plan, or seeking bankruptcy protection.

 

Themain ingredients of our Mango ED and Mango GROW products are publicly disclosed and separately our Mango ED products are being speciallycompounded for the customer by a pharmacist with a physician’s prescription, and as a result, our Mango ED and Mango GROW productsformula can be replicated by other companies.

 

OurMango ED products are made up of the following three ingredients: (1) Either Sildenafil (50 milligrams (mg) or Tadalafil (10 (mg)), Oxytocin(100 International units (IU)) and L-Arginine (50mg); and (2) either Sildenafil (100mg) or Tadalafil (20mg), Oxytocin (100IU) and L-Arginine(50mg), an amino acid that is available as a dietary supplement. However, the fact that Sildenafil, Tadalafil and Oxytocin are used inFDA approved drugs, and L-arginine is available as a dietary supplement, does not mean that these ingredients will prove safe when combinedinto a single formulation to treat ED. Further, our Mango GROW product currently includes the following amounts of the four ingredientsdiscussed below: (1) Minoxidil (2.5mg), (2) Finasteride (1mg), (3) Vitamin D3 (2000IU), and (4) Biotin (1mg). However, the fact thatMinoxidil and Finasteride are used in FDA approved drugs, and Vitamin D3 and Biotin are available as a dietary supplement, does not meanthat these ingredients will prove safe when combined into a single formulation to treat hair growth.

Wecurrently offer two dosage levels of our Mango ED products and one dosage level of our Mango GROW product and anticipate a prescribingdoctor prescribing a dosage based on the needs and medical history of the patient. Additionally, because our Mango ED and Mango GROWproducts are being specially compounded for the customer by a pharmacist with a physician’s prescription and because the ingredientsfor our Mango ED and Mango GROW products are publicly disclosed, these product formulas can be replicated by other companies. As a result,competitors, including those with greater resources, marketing, and brand recognition, may compete against us in the future using ourexact product ingredients or variations thereof. We may be unable to distinguish our Mango ED and Mango GROW products from copycat productsand may not be able to differentiate our product from competitors in the marketplace. As a result, we may fail to obtain a significantmarket share, or may lose any market share we may obtain in the future, may be unable to compete with competitors, and may be forcedto abandon or curtail our business plan, which could cause the value of our shares to decline in value or become worthless.

 

OurMango ED and Mango GROW products need to be compounded by licensed pharmacists who are subject to risks regarding applicable exemptionsfrom the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

 

Section503A of the FFDCA describes the conditions under which compounded human drug products are exempt from the FFDCA sections on FDA approvalprior to marketing, current good manufacturing practice (“cGMP”) requirements, and labeling with adequate directions foruse. One of these conditions is that the drugs must be compounded based on the receipt of valid patient-specific prescriptions. Our EDproduct needs to be compounded by licensed pharmacists, after being prescribed by a licensed physician. Licensed pharmacists who compounddrug products in accordance with Section 503A of the FFDCA are not required to comply with CGMP requirements and the drugs that theycompound are not required to be approved by the FDA, provided that the compounding complies with applicable requirements. Therefore,the FDA is often not aware of potential problems with compounded drug products or compounding practices unless it receives a complaint,such as a report of a serious adverse event or visible contamination. As such, the compounding of our products is subject to limitedFDA oversight, which could lead to such products not being compounded safely and could lead to product recalls and litigation which couldhave a significant negative impact on our brand name, results of operations and cash flows, and result in us having to cease sellingproducts, curtailing our business plan, or seeking bankruptcy protection. Neither we, nor our representatives have had any conversationswith the FDA staff regarding whether our Mango ED or Mango GROW products can be sold pursuant to Section 503A of the FFDCA Act and futureconversations with the FDA may result in the FDA staff raising issues with such sales pursuant to Section 503A of the FFDCA, requiringcertain pre-requisites or changes to our current business plan, which may be costly or time consuming, and/or may result in us beingprohibited from selling our Mango ED and Mango GROW products pursuant to Section 503A of the FFDCA Act. We also face risks that the compoundingof our products does not fall within the exemption from the FFDCA provided by Section 503A thereof. For example, if the FDA determinedthat any of our products are essentially a copy of an FDA approved product, we would be severely limited in our ability to compound sucha product. If any of the above were to apply, we may need to change our business plan or compounding activities, which could force usto curtail our business plan or expend significant additional resources to obtain FFDCA or FDA approval for our products.

 

Notwithstandingthe above, under relevant FDA guidance, the FDA generally does not consider a compounded drug to be “essentially a copy”of a commercially available drug if the compounded drug has a different route of administration as compared with the approved alternative,and our Mango ED and Mango GROW products are for a different route of administration (e.g., sublingual). In addition, we do not expectthat we will be deemed to have engaged in such “copying”, because our Mango ED and Mango GROW products are based on a prescriber’sdetermination for each patient that the change associated with the compounded product (our Mango ED and Mango GROW products) producesfor the patient a significant difference as compared with the commercially available drug product. Under relevant FDA guidance, the FDAdoes not consider a compounded drug “essentially a copy” if a prescriber determines that there is a change, made for an identifiedindividual patient, which produces for that patient a significant difference from the commercially available product.

Healthcare services, including arrangements with health care professionals, are heavily regulated at the state level, and the laws and regulationsmay be changed or subject to new interpretations.

 

Eachstate separately licenses health care professionals and determines when and under what conditions they may interact with and provideservices to patients. Telehealth consultations initiated through our platform must be offered in accordance with the laws and regulationsof the state where a patient is located, which may include laws that restrict the corporate practice of medicine and fee splitting. Eachstate’s laws are subject to legislative and regulatory changes, as well as judicial interpretations, and future changes or interpretationsof state laws restricting the corporate practice of medicine and fee splitting could adversely affect the permissibility of (a) our relationshipwith Doctegrity; and/or (b) Doctegrity’s relationship with its contracted physicians. If our relationship with Doctegrity and/orDoctegrity’s relationship with its contracted physicians needed to be restructured in light of any such adverse changes or interpretations,that restructuring could negatively affect our ability to connect consumers with medical providers in certain states, and thus thosecustomers’ ability to ultimately receive our products.

 

Wedo not have a pharmacy and depend on a related party to compound our Mango product and other potential future men’s wellness products.

 

Werely on a related party pharmacy for the manufacture of our Mango product and will rely on this pharmacy or others for any potentialfuture men’s wellness products we market and we cannot assure you that they will be successful. This subjects us to a number ofrisks, including the following:

 

  we may not be able to control the commercialization of our products, including the amount, timing and quality of resources that our contracting parties may devote to our products;
     
  our contracting parties may experience financial, regulatory or operational difficulties, which may impair their ability to fulfill their contractual obligations;
     
  business combinations or significant changes in a contracting parties’ business strategy may adversely affect a contracting party’s willingness or ability to perform their obligations under any arrangement;
     
  legal disputes or disagreements may occur with one or more of our contracting parties or between our contracting parties and our suppliers or former contracting parties; and
     
  a contracting party could independently move forward with a competing product developed either independently or in collaboration with others, including with one of our competitors.

 

Ifany of our contracting parties fail to fulfill their future contractual obligations, our business may be negatively affected and we mayreceive limited or no revenues under our agreements with them. See also the risk factor, “The related party pharmacy we haveentered into an agreement with may not receive licenses in all of the 50 United States to provide national coverage for us to sell ourMango ED and Mango GROW products and future products” below.

 

Ouruse and disclosure of personally identifiable information, including health information, is subject to federal and state privacy andsecurity regulations, and our failure to comply with those regulations or to adequately secure the information we hold could result insignificant liability or reputational harm and, in turn, a material adverse effect on our client base and revenue.

 

Numerousstate and federal laws and regulations govern the collection, dissemination, use, privacy, confidentiality, security, availability andintegrity of personally identifiable information, or PII, including protected health information, or PHI. These laws and regulationsinclude the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), as amended by the Health InformationTechnology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their implementing regulations (referred to collectively as “HIPAA”).HIPAA establishes a set of basic national privacy and security standards for the protection of PHI. HIPAA requires us to develop andmaintain policies and procedures with respect to PHI that is used or disclosed, including the adoption of administrative, physical andtechnical safeguards to protect such information. HIPAA imposes mandatory penalties for certain violations. Penalties for violationsof HIPAA and its implementing regulations start at $100 per violation and are not to exceed $50,000 per violation, subject to a cap of$1.5 million for violations of the same standard in a single calendar year. However, a single breach incident can result in violationsof multiple standards. HIPAA also authorizes state attorneys general to file suit on behalf of their residents. Courts are able to awarddamages, costs and attorneys’ fees related to violations of HIPAA in such cases. While HIPAA does not create a private right ofaction allowing individuals to sue us in civil court for violations of HIPAA, its standards have been used as the basis for duty of carein state civil suits such as those for negligence or recklessness in the misuse or breach of PHI. In addition, HIPAA mandates that theSecretary of Health and Human Services, or HHS, conduct periodic compliance audits of HIPAA covered entities or business associates forcompliance with the HIPAA Privacy and Security Standards. It also tasks HHS with establishing a methodology whereby harmed individualswho were the victims of breaches of unsecured PHI may receive a percentage of the Civil Monetary Penalty fine paid by the violator. HIPAAfurther requires that patients be notified of any unauthorized acquisition, access, use or disclosure of their unsecured PHI that compromisesthe privacy or security of such information, with certain exceptions related to unintentional or inadvertent use or disclosure by employeesor authorized individuals. HIPAA specifies that such notifications must be made “without unreasonable delay and in no case laterthan 60 calendar days after discovery of the breach.” If a breach affects 500 patients or more, it must be reported to HHS withoutunreasonable delay, and HHS will post the name of the breaching entity on its public web site. Breaches affecting 500 patients or morein the same state or jurisdiction must also be reported to the local media. If a breach involves fewer than 500 people, the covered entitymust record it in a log and notify HHS at least annually.

 

42

 

Numerousother federal and state laws protect the confidentiality, privacy, availability, integrity and security of PII, including PHI. Theselaws in many cases are more restrictive than, and may not be pre-empted by, the HIPAA rules and may be subject to varying interpretationsby courts and government agencies, creating complex compliance issues for us and our clients and potentially exposing us to additionalexpense, adverse publicity and liability.

 

Becauseof the extreme sensitivity of the PII we store and transmit, the security features of our technology platform are very important. Ifour security measures are breached or fail, unauthorized persons may be able to obtain access to sensitive client data, including HIPAA-regulatedPHI. As a result, our reputation could be severely damaged, adversely affecting client confidence. In addition, we could face litigation,damages for contract breach, penalties and regulatory actions for violation of HIPAA and other applicable laws or regulations and significantcosts for remediation, notification to individuals and for measures to prevent future occurrences. Any potential security breach couldalso result in increased costs associated with liability for stolen assets or information, repairing system damage that may have beencaused by such breaches, incentives offered to clients in an effort to maintain our business relationships after a breach and implementingmeasures to prevent future occurrences, including organizational changes, deploying additional personnel and protection technologies,training employees and engaging third-party experts and consultants.

 

RisksRelated to Related Party Relationships and Transactions and Our Management

 

Wedepend heavily on our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who may have a conflict of interest with regard to variousmatters. The ability of certain key employees to devote adequate time to us is critical to the success of our business, and failure todo so may adversely affect our revenues and as a result could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and resultsof operations.

 

Wemust retain the services of our key employees and strategically recruit and hire new talented employees. Our future business and resultsof operations depend in significant part upon the continued contributions of our senior management personnel, particularly our Chairmanand Chief Executive Officer, Jacob D. Cohen. Mr. Cohen is currently a co-Manager and 51% owner of Epiq Scripts, and as Chief ExecutiveOfficer of Ronin Equity Partners, Inc., a private investment company, and in various positions with other entities and groups. Mr. Cohencurrently spends approximately 95% of his time on Company matters. As a result, Mr. Cohen dedicates only a portion of his professionalefforts to our business and operations, and there is no contractual obligation for him to spend a specific amount of his time with us.Mr. Cohen may not be able to dedicate adequate time to our business and operations and we could experience an adverse effect on our operationsdue to the demands placed on him from his other professional obligations. Such involvement in other businesses may therefore presenta conflict of interest regarding decisions he makes for us or with respect to the amount of time available for us. If we lose his servicesor if he fails to perform in his current position, or if we are not able to attract and retain skilled personnel as needed, our businesscould suffer. Significant turnover in our senior management could significantly deplete our institutional knowledge held by our existingsenior management team. We depend on the skills and abilities of these key personnel in managing our operations, product development,marketing and sales aspects of our business, any part of which could be harmed by turnover in the future.

 

Movingforward, should the services of Mr. Cohen be lost for any reason, we will incur costs associated with recruiting replacements and anypotential delays in operations which this may cause. If we are unable to replace such individual with a suitably trained alternativeindividual(s), we may be forced to scale back or curtail our business plan.

 

Separately,if our executive officers do not devote sufficient time towards our business, we may never be able to effectuate our business plan.

 

43

 

Wehave engaged and in the future may engage in transactions with related parties and such transactions present possible conflicts of interestthat could have an adverse effect on us.

 

Wehave entered, and may continue to enter, into transactions with related parties for financing, corporate, business development and operationalservices. Included in such transactions is a Master Services Agreement and Statement of Work with Epiq Scripts, LLC, a related party,51% owned and controlled by Jacob D. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, as discussed in greater detail under “ Business-MaterialAgreements-Master Services Agreement with Epiq Scripts” and “-First Amendment to MSA,” for pharmacy and compoundingservices. Such transactions may not have been/may not be, entered into on an arm’s-length basis, and we may have achieved moreor less favorable terms because such transactions were entered into with our related parties. This could have a material effect on ourbusiness, results of operations and financial condition. Such conflicts could cause an individual in our management to seek to advancehis or her economic interests or the economic interests of certain related parties above ours. Further, the appearance of conflicts ofinterest created by related party transactions could impair the confidence of our investors.

 

Weare significantly reliant on related party relationships.

 

Wehave entered into a Master Services Agreement and Statement of Work with Epiq Scripts, LLC, a related party, 51% owned and controlledby Jacob D. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who also serves as a co-Manager of Epiq Scripts, as discussed in greaterdetail under “Business-Material Agreements-Master Services Agreement with Epiq Scripts” and “-First Amendment to MSA,”for pharmacy and compounding services. In the event that relationship is terminated, our costs may increase, and we may be unable toeffectively obtain the services currently provided by Epiq Scripts, LLC. Additionally, certain of our consultants are employed by EpiqScripts, LLC. We also anticipate entering into other related party relationships in the future. While we believe that all related partyagreements have been and will be on arms-length terms, such significant related party relationships may be perceived negatively by potentialshareholders or investors and/or may result in conflicts of interest. Each of our officers and directors (including those discussed above)presently has, and any of them in the future may have, additional fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant towhich such officer or director may be required to present a business opportunity to such entity, subject to his or her fiduciary dutiesunder applicable law. Additionally, such persons may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time among various business activities.These conflicts may not be resolved in our favor. Our significant related party relationships and transactions, the terms of such relationshipsand transactions, and/or the termination of any such relationships or transactions, may have a material adverse effect on our resultsof operations moving forward and/or create conflicts of interest or perceived conflicts of interest which may have a material adverseeffect on the value of our securities.

 

Therelated party pharmacy we have entered into an agreement with may not receive licenses in all of the 50 United States to provide nationalcoverage for us to sell our Mango ED and Mango GROW products and future products.

 

Wehave entered into a Master Services Agreement and Statement of Work with Epiq Scripts, LLC, a related party, 51% owned and controlledby Jacob D. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, as discussed in greater detail under “Business-Material Agreements-MasterServices Agreement with Epiq Scripts,” for pharmacy and compounding services. Epiq Script’s ability to provide pharmacy servicesin each state is subject to, among other things, receipt of regulatory approvals and licenses in the states in which it operates. CurrentlyEpiq Scripts holds State Board of Pharmacy (or its equivalent) licenses to operate in the District of Columbia and 47 states: Alaska,Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, NewMexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah,Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. Its failure to receive regulatory approval or licenses in the otherstates in which we hope to operate, or loss of such licenses in the future, may prohibit us from selling our Mango products to customersthat reside in those states limiting our ability to grow and compete with other companies that have those capabilities. Any of the abovemay have an adverse effect on our revenues, operations and cash flow and cause the value of our securities to decline in value or becomeworthless. We also face related party conflicts associated with our engagement of Epiq Scripts, LLC as discussed in greater detail above.

JacobD. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns a significant percentage of our outstanding common stock and assuch exercise significant voting control over us, which limits shareholders’ abilities to influence corporate matters and coulddelay or prevent a change in corporate control.

 

JacobD. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns approximately 33.6 % of the outstanding shares of our commonstock. As a result, he has significant influence on the shareholder vote. Consequently, he has the ability to influence matters affectingour shareholders and therefore exercise significant control in determining the outcome of a number of corporate transactions or othermatters, including (i) making amendments to our certificate of formation; (ii) whether to issue additional shares of common stock andpreferred stock, including to himself; (iii) employment decisions, including compensation arrangements; (iv) whether to enter into materialtransactions with related parties; (v) election of directors; and (vi) any merger or significant corporate transactions, including withhimself or other related parties. Additionally, it will be difficult if not impossible for investors to remove our current directors(including, but not limited to Mr. Cohen), which will mean he will remain in control of who serves as officers of the Company as wellas whether any changes are made in the Board of Directors. As a potential investor in the Company, you should keep in mind that evenif you own shares of our common stock and wish to vote them at annual or special shareholder meetings, your shares will have little effecton the outcome of corporate decisions. Because Mr. Cohen will significantly influence the vote on all shareholder matters, investorsmay find it difficult to replace our management if they disagree with the way our business is being operated. The interests of Mr. Cohenmay not coincide with our interests or the interests of other shareholders.

 

Mr.Cohen acquired his shares of common stock for substantially less than the price of the shares of common stock acquired in our IPO andour Follow On Offering, and/or the current trading price of our common stock, and may have interests, with respect to their common stock,that are different from other investors and the concentration of voting power held by Mr. Cohen may have an adverse effect on the priceof our common stock.

 

Inaddition, this concentration of ownership might adversely affect the market price of our common stock by: (1) delaying, deferring orpreventing a change of control of our Company; (2) impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involvingour Company; or (3) discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our Company.

 

Potentialcompetition from our existing executive officers, after they leave their employment with us, and subject to the non-compete terms oftheir employment agreements, could negatively impact our profitability.

 

Althoughour Chief Executive Officer, Jacob D. Cohen, and our Chief Operating Officer, Amanda Hammer, are prohibited from competing with us whilethey are employed with us and for 12 months thereafter (subject to the terms of, and exceptions set forth in, their employment agreementswith the Company), none of such individuals will be prohibited from competing with us after such 12-month period ends. Additionally,the Federal Trade Commission recently proposed a new rule that, if it becomes effective, would ban employers from imposing non-competeson their workers, which if effective could prohibit the Company from enforcing, or invalidate, the non-competes in our executive’sand in certain other employee’s, employment agreements. Finally, various states have recently enacted rules banning non-competes,including California. Accordingly, any of these individuals could be in a position to use industry experience gained while working withus to compete with us. Such competition could distract or confuse customers, reduce the value of our intellectual property and tradesecrets, or reduce our future revenues, earnings or growth prospects.

 

45

 

RisksRelated to Intellectual Property

 

Weoperate in an industry with the risk of intellectual property litigation. Claims of infringement against us may hurt our business.

 

Wemust protect the proprietary nature of the intellectual property used in our business. There can be no assurance that trade secrets andother intellectual property will not be challenged, invalidated, misappropriated or circumvented by third parties.

 

Additionally,our success depends, in part, upon non-infringement of intellectual property rights owned by others and being able to resolve claimsof intellectual property infringement without major financial expenditures or adverse consequences. Participants that own, or claim toown, intellectual property may aggressively assert their rights. From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claimsrelating to the intellectual property rights of others. Future litigation may be necessary to defend us by determining the scope, enforceability,and validity of third-party proprietary rights or to establish its proprietary rights. Our competitors have substantially greater resourcesand are able to sustain the costs of complex intellectual property litigation to a greater degree and for longer periods of time. Inaddition, patent holding companies that focus solely on extracting royalties and settlements by enforcing patent rights may target us.Regardless of whether claims that we are infringing patents or other intellectual property rights have any merit, these claims are time-consumingand costly to evaluate and defend and could:

 

  cause delays or stoppages in providing products;
     
  divert management’s attention and resources;
     
  require technology changes to our products that would cause our Company to incur substantial cost;
     
  subject us to significant liabilities; and
     
  require us to cease some or all of our activities.

 

Inaddition to liability for monetary damages, which may be tripled and may include attorneys’ fees, or, in some circumstances, damagesagainst clients, we may be prohibited from developing, commercializing, or continuing to provide some or all of our products unless weobtain licenses from, and pay royalties to, the holders of the patents or other intellectual property rights, which may not be availableon commercially favorable terms, or at all.

 

RisksRelated to the Telehealth Operations of Our Contracting Parties

 

Thetelehealth business of our telehealth provider could be adversely affected by ongoing legal challenges or by new state actions restrictingthe ability to provide telehealth services in certain states.

 

Weuse telehealth providers to provide telehealth consultations and related services on our Mangoceuticals platform, which connects users/customerswith third-party health care providers and Epiq Scripts, LLC, a related party pharmacy. We have entered into an agreement with Doctegrity,pursuant to which Doctegrity provides clinical services directly to our customers via telehealth. Through these arrangements, the professionalsor professional entities are responsible for the practice of medicine and control of the clinical decision-making.

 

Ourability to conduct business operations in each state is dependent upon the state’s treatment of medicine under such state’slaws, and rules and policies governing the practice of physician supervised services, which are subject to changing political, regulatoryand other influences.

 

Wedepend on our contracted parties to maintain appropriate telehealth licenses to be able to provide telehealth services to our potentialcustomers and prescribe them our products, which are required to be prescribed by licensed physicians. In the event we are not able tomaintain relationships with telehealth providers, state licensing laws make it harder, more costly or impossible to provide telehealthservices, or our customers are otherwise unable to obtain prescriptions for our products, we may be unable to sell products, which couldresult in us having to curtail our business plan or cease operating.

 

46

 

Ourcontracting parties’ telehealth business could be adversely affected by ongoing legal challenges to their business model or bynew state actions restricting their ability to provide the full range of services in certain states.

 

Theability of our contracted parties’ telehealth operations in each state is dependent upon the state’s treatment of medicineunder such state’s laws, rules and policies governing the practice of physician supervised services, which are subject to changingpolitical, regulatory and other influences. In the event our contracted parties are unable to provide telehealth services for any reason,it would have a material adverse effect on our ability to sell products and in turn our revenues and operating results.

 

RisksRelated to Our Governing Documents and Texas Law

 

OurCertificate of Formation, Bylaws and Texas law provide for indemnification of officers and directors at our expense and limit the liabilityof our directors, which may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our shareholders because corporate resources may beexpended for the benefit of officers or directors.

 

OurCertificate of Formation, Bylaws and Texas law provide for us to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicablelaw, each person who is or was made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pendingor completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Company or, whilea director or officer of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of anothercorporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employeebenefit plan. Our Certificate of Formation also provides that the personal liability of our directors is eliminated to the fullest extentpermitted by the Texas Business Organizations Code, as such may be amended or supplemented. These indemnification obligations and limitationsof liability may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our shareholders because corporate resources may be expendedfor the benefit of officers or directors.

 

Wehave been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against publicpolicy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification for liabilitiesarising under federal securities laws, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controllingperson in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connectionwith our activities, we will (unless in the opinion of our counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling precedent) submit to acourt of appropriate jurisdiction, the question whether indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the SecuritiesAct and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The legal process relating to this matter if it were to occur is likelyto be very costly and may result in us receiving negative publicity, either of which factors is likely to materially reduce the marketand price for our shares.

 

Wehave established preferred stock which can be designated by our Board of Directors without shareholder approval.

 

Wehave 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized. The shares of our preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or moreseries, each of which shall have a distinctive designation or title as shall be determined by our Board of Directors prior to the issuanceof any shares thereof. The preferred stock shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such preferencesand relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as adoptedby the Board of Directors. Because the Board of Directors is able to designate the powers and preferences of the preferred stock withoutthe vote of a majority of our shareholders, our shareholders will have no control over what designations and preferences our preferredstock will have. The issuance of shares of preferred stock or the rights associated therewith, could cause substantial dilution to ourexisting shareholders. Additionally, the dilutive effect of any preferred stock which we may issue may be exacerbated given the factthat such preferred stock may have voting rights and/or other rights or preferences which could provide the preferred shareholders withsubstantial voting control over us and/or give those holders the power to prevent or cause a change in control, even if that change incontrol might benefit our shareholders. As a result, the issuance of shares of preferred stock may cause the value of our securitiesto decrease.

 

47

 

Anti-takeoverprovisions in our Certificate of Formation and our Bylaws, as well as provisions of Texas law, might discourage, delay or prevent a changein control of our company or changes in our management and, therefore, depress the trading price of our common stock.

 

OurCertificate of Formation, Bylaws and Texas law contain provisions that may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or otherchange in control that shareholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which you might otherwise receive a premium foryour shares of our common stock. These provisions may also prevent or delay attempts by our shareholders to replace or remove our management.Our corporate governance documents include provisions:

 

  requiring advance notice of shareholder proposals for business to be conducted at meetings of our shareholders and for nominations of candidates for election to our Board of Directors;
     
  authorizing blank check preferred stock, which could be issued with voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to our common stock; and
     
  providing indemnification to, our directors and officers.

 

Theexistence of the foregoing provisions and anti-takeover measures could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in thefuture for shares of our common stock. They could also deter potential acquirers of our company, thereby reducing the likelihood thatyou could receive a premium for your common stock in an acquisition.

 

RisksRelated to Our Common Stock

 

Weare currently not in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements and there is no guarantee that our common stock willcontinue to trade on Nasdaq.

 

Asa condition to consummating our IPO, we were required to list our common stock on Nasdaq and in March 2023, our common stock was approvedfor listing on Nasdaq under the symbol “MGRX”. Notwithstanding such listing, there is no guarantee that we will be able tomaintain our listing on NASDAQ for any period of time. Among the conditions required for continued listing on Nasdaq, NASDAQ requiresus to maintain at least $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity, $35 million in market value of listed securities, or $500,000 innet income over the prior two years or two of the prior three years, to have a majority of independent directors (subject to certain“controlled company” exemptions, which we do not currently meet), to comply with certain audit committee requirements,and to maintain a stock price over $1.00 per share. Our stockholders’ equity is currently not above NASDAQ’s $2.5 millionminimum, as discussed below, we may not generate over $500,000 of yearly net income moving forward, we may not maintain $35 million inmarket value of listed securities, we may not be able to maintain independent directors (to the extent required), and as discussed below,we do not currently have a stock price over $1.00 per share. Nasdaq’s determination that we fail to meet the continued listingstandards of NASDAQ may result in our securities being delisted from Nasdaq.

 

OnOctober 30, 2023, we received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying us that we were not in compliancewith the minimum bid price requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on Nasdaq. Nasdaq Listing Rule5550(a)(2) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, and Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides thata failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of thirty (30) consecutive businessdays. Based on the closing bid price of our common stock for the thirty (30) consecutive business days from September 15, 2023 to October27, 2023, we no longer meet the minimum bid price requirement.

 

Theletter did not impact the listing of our common stock on Nasdaq. Instead, the letter stated that we have 180 calendar days or until April29, 2024, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To regain compliance, the bid price of our common stock must havea closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. If we do not regain compliance by April29, 2024, an additional 180 days may be granted to regain compliance, so long as we meet Nasdaq’s initial listing criteria (exceptfor the bid price requirement)(which we do not currently meet, as we do not have stockholders’ equity of at least $5 million) andnotify Nasdaq in writing of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split,if necessary. If we do not qualify for the second compliance period or fail to regain compliance during the second 180-day period, ourcommon stock will be subject to delisting, at which point we would have an opportunity to appeal the delisting determination to a HearingsPanel.

Ata special meeting of stockholders held on March 25, 2024, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Second Amendedand Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstandingshares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, by a ratio of between one-for-two to one-for-fifty inclusive, with the exactratio to be set at a whole number to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof inits discretion, at any time after approval of the amendment and prior to March 25, 2025. No formal determination has been made by theBoard of Directors of the Company regarding the reverse stock split ratio, whether or not to move forward with a reverse stock split,or the timing thereof.

 

Weintend to monitor the closing bid price of our common stock and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regaincompliance with the minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

 

Separately,on November 3, 2023, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying us that our stockholders’equity as reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2023 (the “Form 10-Q”), did notmeet the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Rule”)requires companies listed on Nasdaq to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000. In our Form 10-Q, we reported stockholders’equity of $1,354,821, which is below the minimum stockholders’ equity required for continued listing pursuant to Nasdaq ListingRule 5550(b)(1). Additionally, we do not meet the alternative Nasdaq continued listing standards under Nasdaq Listing Rules.

 

Thisnotice of noncompliance had had no immediate impact on the continued listing or trading of our common stock on Nasdaq, which continuesto be listed and traded on Nasdaq, subject to our compliance with the other continued listing requirements. Nasdaq provided the Companyuntil December 18, 2023 to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance. We submitted the plan to regain compliance in a timely manner,and on January 24, 2024, Nasdaq advised the Company that it has determined to grant the Company an extension to regain compliance withthe Rule.

 

Theterms of the extension are as follows: on or before April 29, 2024, the Company must complete certain transactions described in greaterdetail in the compliance plan, contemplated to result in the Company increasing its stockholders’ equity to more than $2.5 million,and opt for one of the two following alternatives to evidence compliance with the Rule: Alternative 1: The Company must furnishto the SEC and Nasdaq a publicly available report (e.g., a Form 8-K) including: 1. A disclosure of Staff’s deficiency letter andthe specific deficiency(ies) cited; 2. A description of the completed transaction or event that enabled the Company to satisfy the stockholders’equity requirement for continued listing; and 3. An affirmative statement that, as of the date of the report, the Company believes ithas regained compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement based upon the specific transaction or event referenced in Step2; or Alternative 2: The Company must furnish to the SEC and Nasdaq a publicly available report including: 1. Steps 1 & 2set forth above; 2. A balance sheet no older than 60 days with pro forma adjustments for any significant transactions or event occurringon or before the report date; and 3. that the Company believes it satisfies the stockholders’ equity requirement as of the reportdate. The pro forma balance sheet must evidence compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement.

 

Additionally,in either case the Company is required to disclose that Nasdaq will continue to monitor the Company’s ongoing compliance with thestockholders’ equity requirement and, if at the time of its next periodic report the Company does not evidence compliance, thatit may be subject to delisting.

 

Regardlessof which alternative the Company chooses, if the Company fails to evidence compliance upon filing its next periodic report with the SECfollowing the end of such compliance period, the Company may be subject to delisting. In the event the Company does not satisfy theseterms, Nasdaq will provide written notification that its securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal Nasdaq’sdetermination to a Hearings Panel.

 

TheCompany is currently evaluating various courses of action to regain compliance and is hopeful that it can regain compliance with Nasdaq’sminimum stockholders’ equity standard within the compliance period. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will beable to complete the transactions contemplated in the compliance plan, which the Company expects will allow it to regain compliance withthe Rule, or that such transactions will result in the Company regaining compliance with the rules, within the compliance period grantedby Nasdaq, if at all.

Evenif we demonstrate compliance with the requirements of Nasdaq as discussed above, we will have to continue to meet other objective andsubjective listing requirements to continue to be listed on Nasdaq. Delisting from Nasdaq could make trading our common stock more difficultfor investors, potentially leading to declines in our share price and liquidity. Without a Nasdaq listing, stockholders may have a difficulttime getting a quote for the sale or purchase of our stock, the sale or purchase of our stock would likely be made more difficult, andthe trading volume and liquidity of our stock could decline. Delisting from Nasdaq could also result in negative publicity and couldalso make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital. The absence of such a listing may adversely affect the acceptance ofour common stock as currency or the value accorded by other parties. Further, if we are delisted, we would also incur additional costsunder state blue sky laws in connection with any sales of our securities. These requirements could severely limit the market liquidityof our common stock and the ability of our stockholders to sell our common stock in the secondary market. If our common stock is delistedby Nasdaq, our common stock may be eligible to trade on an over-the-counter quotation system, such as the OTCQB Market or the OTC Pinkmarket, where an investor may find it more difficult to sell our stock or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our commonstock. In the event our common stock is delisted from Nasdaq, we may not be able to list our common stock on another national securitiesexchange or obtain quotation on an over-the counter quotation system.

 

Adelisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations andour ability to attract new investors, reduce the price at which our common stock trades, decrease, investors’ ability to make transactionsin our common stock, decrease the liquidity of our outstanding shares, increase the transaction costs inherent in trading such shares,and reduce our flexibility to raise additional capital without overall negative effects for our stockholders.

 

Areverse stock split may not increase our stock price and have the desired effect of maintaining compliance with the rules of the Nasdaq.

 

TheCompany received stockholder approval at a special meeting of stockholders held on March 25, 2024, of an amendment to the Company’sSecond Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstandingshares of common stock, by a ratio of between one-for-two to one-for-fifty, inclusive, with the exact ratio to be set at a whole numberto be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof in its discretion, at any time priorto March 25, 2025.

 

TheBoard expects that a reverse stock split of our common stock will increase the market price of our common stock so that we are able toregain and maintain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price listing standard. However, the effect of the reverse stock split uponthe market price of our common stock cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the history of similar reverse stock splits for companiesin like circumstances is varied. The price per share of our common stock after the reverse stock split may not reflect the exchange ratioimplemented by the Board of Directors and the price per share following the effective time of the reverse stock split may not be maintainedfor any period of time following the reverse stock split. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of our common stock followinga reverse stock split may be lower than before the reverse stock split.

 

Underapplicable Nasdaq rules, to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement and maintain our listing on the NasdaqCapital Market, the $1.00 closing bid price must be maintained for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days. Accordingly, we cannotassure you that we will be able to maintain our Nasdaq listing after a reverse stock split is effected or that the market price per shareafter a reverse stock split will exceed or remain in excess of the $1.00 minimum bid price for a sustained period of time.

 

Itis possible that the per share price of our common stock after a reverse stock split will not rise in proportion to the reduction inthe number of shares of our common stock outstanding resulting from the reverse stock split, and the market price per post-reverse stocksplit share may not exceed or remain in excess of the $1.00 minimum bid price for a sustained period of time, and the reverse stock splitmay not result in a per share price that would attract brokers and investors who do not trade in lower priced stocks. Even if we effectthe reverse stock split, the market price of our common stock may decrease due to factors unrelated to the stock split. In any case,the market price of our common stock may also be based on other factors which may be unrelated to the number of shares outstanding, includingour future performance. If the reverse stock split is consummated and the trading price of the common stock declines, the percentagedecline as an absolute number and as a percentage of our overall market capitalization may be greater than would occur in the absenceof the reverse stock split. Even if the market price per post-reverse stock split share of our common stock remains in excess of $1.00per share, we may be delisted due to a failure to meet other continued listing requirements, including Nasdaq requirements related tothe minimum stockholders’ equity, the minimum number of shares that must be in the public float, the minimum market value of thepublic float and the minimum number of round lot holders.

Areverse stock split may decrease the liquidity of our common stock.

 

Theliquidity of our common stock may be harmed by a reverse stock split given the reduced number of shares of common stock that would beoutstanding after a reverse stock split, particularly if the stock price does not increase as a result of the reverse stock split. Inaddition, investors might consider the increased proportion of unissued authorized shares of common stock to issued shares to have ananti-takeover effect under certain circumstances, because the proportion allows for dilutive issuances which could prevent certain stockholdersfrom changing the composition of the Board of Directors or render tender offers for a combination with another entity more difficultto successfully complete. The Board of Directors does not intend for a reverse stock split to have any anti-takeover effects.

 

Stockholdersmay be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations through the issuance of additional sharesof our common stock.

 

Whereverpossible, our Board of Directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. In many instances, we believe thatthe non-cash consideration will consist of restricted shares of our common stock or where shares are to be issued to our officers, directorsand applicable consultants. Our Board of Directors has authority, without action or vote of the stockholders, but subject to Nasdaq rulesand regulations (which generally require stockholder approval for any transactions which would result in the issuance of more than 20%of our then outstanding shares of common stock or voting rights representing over 20% of our then outstanding shares of stock), to issueall or part of the authorized but unissued shares of common stock. In addition, we may attempt to raise capital by selling shares ofour common stock, possibly at a discount to market. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing stockholders,which may further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material. Such issuances may also serve to enhance existingmanagement’s ability to maintain control of the Company because the shares may be issued to parties or entities committed to supportingexisting management.

 

Certainrecent initial public offerings of companies with public floats comparable to the anticipated public float of the Company have experiencedextreme volatility that was seemingly unrelated to the underlying performance of the respective company. We have in the past, and mayin the future experience similar volatility, which may make it difficult for prospective investors to assess the value of our commonstock.

 

Inaddition to the risks addressed below under the heading “- Our common stock prices have been, and may continue to be, volatileand could decline substantially following the date of this Prospectus,” our common stock may be subject to extreme volatilitythat is seemingly unrelated to the underlying performance of our business. For example, since our common stock began trading on the NasdaqCapital Market in connection with our IPO on March 20, 2023, the trading price of our common stock has traded as high as $4.37 and aslow as $0.143 per share. The trading price of our common stock is expected to continue to be volatile, and our common stock may be subjectto rapid and substantial price volatility. Such volatility, including any stock-run up, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operatingperformance, financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value ofour common stock. There have been recent instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines following public offerings,particularly among companies with relatively smaller public floats, and we expect that such instances may continue and/or increase inthe future. Contributing to this risk of volatility are a number of factors. First, our common stock is likely to be more sporadicallyand thinly traded than that of larger, more established companies. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relativelysmall quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction, whichmay cause our stock price to deviate, potentially significantly, from a price that better reflects the underlying performance of ourbusiness. The price of our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our shares are sold inthe market without commensurate demand as compared to a seasoned issuer that could better absorb those sales without an adverse impact on itsstock price. Second, we are a speculative investment due to our limited operating history, not being profitable, and not expecting tobe profitable in the near term. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing allor most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market morequickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a larger, more established company that has a relatively largepublic float.

 

51

 

Manyof these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our securities. Such volatility, including any stock run-ups,may be unrelated or disproportionate to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making itdifficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our shares.

 

Furthermore,the stock market in general, and the market for men’s wellness product companies in particular, have experienced extreme priceand volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Broad marketand industry factors, as well as general economic, political and market conditions such as recessions, or changes in inflation or interestrates, may seriously affect the market price of our securities, regardless of our actual operating performance. As a result of this volatility,investors may experience losses on their investment in our common stock. A decline in the market price of our common stock also couldadversely affect our ability to issue additional shares of common stock or other securities and our ability to obtain additional financingin the future. No assurance can be given that an active market in our common shares will develop or be sustained. If an active marketdoes not develop, holders of our common stock may be unable to readily sell the shares they hold or may not be able to sell their sharesat all.

 

Ourcommon stock prices have been, and may continue to be, volatile and could decline substantially following the date of this Prospectus.

 

Themarket price of our common stock may be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. Our financial performance, government regulatoryaction, tax laws, interest rates, and market conditions in general could have a significant impact on the future market price of ourcommon stock.

 

Someof the factors that could negatively affect or result in fluctuations in the market price of our common stock include:

 

  actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results;
     
  changes in market valuations of similar companies;
     
  adverse market reaction to the level of our indebtedness;
     
  additions or departures of key personnel;
     
  actions by shareholders;
     
  speculation in the press or investment community;
     
  general market, economic, and political conditions, including an economic slowdown or dislocation in the global credit markets;

 

52

 

  announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, collaborations, or capital commitments;
     
  general economic and market conditions;
     
  disputes or other developments related to our intellectual property or other proprietary rights, including litigation;
     
  our operating performance and the performance of other similar companies;
     
  changes in accounting principles; and
     
  passage of legislation or other regulatory developments that adversely affect us or our industry.

 

Ifour stock price fluctuates after the offering, you could lose a significant part of your investment.

 

Themarket price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to, among other things, the risk factors describedin this prospectus, and other factors beyond our control, such as fluctuations in the valuation of companies perceived by investors tobe comparable to us For example, since our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market in connection with our IPO on March20, 2023, the trading price of our common stock has traded as high as $4.37 and as low as $0.143 per share. Furthermore, the stock marketshave experienced price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of manycompanies. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broadmarket and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political, and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rate changesor international currency fluctuations, may negatively affect the market price of our common stock. In the past, many companies thathave experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be thetarget of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’sattention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business.

 

Ifsecurities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about us, or if they adversely change their recommendations regardingour common stock, then our stock price and trading volume could decline.

 

Thetrading market for our common stock is influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us,our industry and our market. If no analyst elects to cover us and publish research or reports about us, the market for our common stockcould be severely limited and our stock price could be adversely affected. As a small-cap company, we are more likely than our largercompetitors to lack coverage from securities analysts. In addition, even if we receive analyst coverage, if one or more analysts ceasescoverage of us or fails to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could causeour stock price or trading volume to decline. If one or more analysts who elect to cover us issue negative reports or adversely changetheir recommendations regarding our common stock, our stock price could decline.

 

Futuresales of our common stock, other securities convertible into our common stock, or preferred stock could cause the market value of ourcommon stock to decline and could result in dilution of your shares.

 

OurBoard of Directors is authorized, without your approval, to cause us to issue additional shares of our common stock or to raise capitalthrough the creation and issuance of preferred stock, other debt securities convertible into common stock, options, warrants and otherrights, on terms and for consideration as our Board of Directors in its sole discretion may determine. Additionally, pursuant to theResale Prospectus, we registered the resale of an aggregate of 4,765,000 shares of common stock, which shares of common stock are availablefor immediate resale in the public market (which number includes 2,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants,of which 975,500 shares of common stock remain issuable thereunder as of the date of this prospectus). An additional (a) 87,500 sharesof common stock are issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase shares at $5.00 per share, which were issued in connectionwith the IPO; and (b) 322,000 shares of common stock are issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase shares at $0.375per share, which were issued in connection with the Follow On Offering. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock or of preferredstock could cause the market price of our common stock to decrease significantly. We cannot predict the effect, if any, of future salesof our common stock, or the availability of our common stock for future sales, on the value of our common stock. Sales of substantialamounts of our common stock by large shareholders, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect the market priceof our common stock.

 

53

 

Wehave no intention of declaring dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Thedecision to pay cash dividends on our common stock rests with our Board of Directors and will depend on our earnings, unencumbered cash,capital requirements and financial condition. We do not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future, as we intend touse any excess cash to fund our operations. Investors in our common stock should not expect to receive dividend income on their investment,and investors will be dependent on the appreciation of our common stock to earn a return on their investment.

 

Theissuance and sale of common stock upon exercise of outstanding warrants may cause substantial dilution to existing shareholders and mayalso depress the market price of our common stock. Outstanding warrants to purchase shares of our common stock have cashless exerciserights.

 

Asof the date of this prospectus, we had a total of 4,685,000 warrants outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $0.51per share and term ranging from August 16, 2027 through October 4, 2029.  If the holders of the warrants choose to exercisethe warrants, it may cause significant dilution to the then holders of our common stock. If exercises of the warrants and sales of suchshares issuable upon exercise thereof take place, the price of our common stock may decline. In addition, the common stock issuable uponexercise of the warrants may represent overhang that may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Overhang occurswhen there is a greater supply of a company’s stock in the market than there is demand for that stock. When this happens the priceof our stock will decrease, and any additional shares which shareholders attempt to sell in the market will only further decrease theshare price. If the share volume of our common stock cannot absorb shares sold by the warrant holders, then the value of our common stockwill likely decrease.

 

Atotal of 409,500 of the warrants discussed above (which have an exercise price of $5.00 per share (87,500) and $0.375 (322,000)) currentlyallow for cashless exercise rights. In a ‘cashless exercise’, the holder reduces the number of shares of common stock issuableupon exercise of the warrants in amount equal to the aggregate value of the exercise price of the exercised warrants. For example, ifour common stock was trading at $2.00 per share and a holder desires to exercise warrants to purchase 100 shares of common stock withan exercise price of $1.00 per share on a cashless basis, the number of shares of common stock issuable to the holder upon such exercisewould be reduced by 50 shares, equal in value to $100 ($2.00 per share x 50 shares), and the holder would receive 50 shares of commonstock upon such exercise. We do not receive any cash upon a cashless exercise and as such, while a cashless exercise reduces the dilutionwhich would otherwise exist upon a warrant exercise, it is also not as beneficial to us, as it does not bring in any new investment proceeds.Additionally, holders of warrants with cashless exercise provisions may be more likely to exercise their warrants as they do not haveto come out of pocket with any cash exercise payments.

 

GeneralRisk Factors

 

Ourindustry and the broader U.S. economy experienced higher than expected inflationary pressures during 2022 related to continued supplychain disruptions, labor shortages and geopolitical instability, and if these conditions persist, our business, results of operationsand cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

 

2022saw significant increases in the costs of labor and certain materials and equipment, and longer lead times for such materials and equipment,as a result of availability constraints, supply chain disruption, increased demand, labor shortages associated with a fully employedU.S. labor force, high inflation and other factors. Supply and demand fundamentals have been further aggravated by disruptions in globalenergy supply caused by multiple geopolitical events, including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Recent supply chainconstraints and inflationary pressures may in the future adversely impact our operating costs, and as a result, our business, financialcondition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

 

Weand the health and wellness industry in general may be adversely affected during periods of high inflation, primarily because of highershipping and product manufacturing costs. While we plan to attempt to pass on increases in our costs through increased sales prices,market forces may limit our ability to do so. If we are unable to raise sales prices enough to compensate for higher costs, our futurerevenues, gross profit margin and revenues could be adversely affected.

 

54

 

Economicuncertainty may affect our access to capital and/or increase the costs of such capital.

 

Globaleconomic conditions continue to be volatile and uncertain due to, among other things, consumer confidence in future economic conditions,fears of recession and trade wars, the price of energy, fluctuating interest rates, the availability and cost of consumer credit, theavailability and timing of government stimulus programs, levels of unemployment, increased inflation, tax rates, and the war betweenUkraine and Russia which began in February 2022, and has continued through the date of this prospectus, as well as the current ongoingwar between Hamas and Israel, which began in October 2023, and has continued through the date of this prospectus. These conditions remainunpredictable and create uncertainties about our ability to raise capital in the future. In the event required capital becomes unavailablein the future, or more costly, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, future results of operations, and financial condition.

 

Ourbusiness may be materially and adversely disrupted by epidemics or pandemics in the future, including COVID-19.

 

Anepidemic, pandemic or similar serious public health issue, and the measures undertaken by governmental authorities to address it, couldsignificantly disrupt or prevent us from operating our business in the ordinary course for an extended period, and thereby, and/or alongwith any associated economic and/or social instability or distress, have a material adverse impact on our financial statements.

 

OnMarch 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic and recommended containmentand mitigation measures. On March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency concerning the outbreak, and several statesand municipalities have declared public health emergencies. The U.S. Congress formally ended the COVID-19 national emergency on April10, 2023. Although COVID-19 has to date not had a material impact on our operations, should the COVID-19 public health effort re-intensifyto such an extent that we cannot operate, if there are new government restrictions on our business and our customers, and/or an extendedeconomic recession or significant inflation, we could be unable to produce significant revenues and cash flows sufficient to conductour business. Such a circumstance could, among other things, exhaust our available liquidity (and ability to access liquidity sources)and/or trigger an acceleration to pay a significant portion or all of our then-outstanding debt obligations, which we may be unable todo.

 

Ourbusiness could be disrupted by catastrophic events and man-made problems, such as power disruptions, data security breaches, and terrorism.

 

Oursystems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from the occurrence of any catastrophic event, including earthquake, fire, flood, orother weather event, power loss, telecommunications failure, software or hardware malfunction, cyber-attack, war, terrorist attack, orincident of mass violence, which could result in lengthy interruptions in access to our systems. In addition, acts of terrorism, includingmalicious internet-based activity, could cause disruptions to the internet or the economy as a whole. If our systems were to fail orbe negatively impacted as a result of a natural disaster or other event, our ability to provide products to customers would be impairedor we could lose critical data. We do not carry business interruption insurance sufficient to compensate us for the potentially significantlosses, including the potential harm to our business, financial condition and results of operations that may result from interruptionsin access to our platform as a result of system failures.

 

Economicuncertainty may affect consumer purchases of discretionary items, which may affect demand for our products.

 

Ourproducts may be considered discretionary items for consumers. Factors affecting the level of consumer spending for such discretionaryitems include general economic conditions and other factors such as consumer confidence in future economic conditions, fears of recessionand trade wars, the price of energy, fluctuating interest rates, the availability and cost of consumer credit, the availability and timingof government stimulus programs, levels of unemployment, inflation, and tax rates. As U.S. economic conditions continue to be volatileor economic uncertainty remains, and with increasing inflation and interest rates, trends in consumer discretionary spending also remainunpredictable and subject to reductions as a result of significant increases in employment, financial market instability, and uncertaintiesabout the future. Unfavorable economic conditions have led, and in the future may lead, consumers to reduce their spending on men’swellness products, which in turn has in the past led to a decrease in the demand for such products. Consumer demand for the Company’sproducts may decline as a result of an economic downturn, or economic uncertainty. The sensitivity to economic cycles and any relatedfluctuation in consumer demand may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financialcondition.

InFebruary 2022, an armed conflict escalated between Russia and Ukraine. The sanctions announced by the United States and other countriesagainst Russia and Belarus following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to date include restrictions on selling or importing goods, services,or technology in or from affected regions and travel bans and asset freezes impacting connected individuals and political, military,business, and financial organizations in Russia and Belarus. The United States and other countries could impose wider sanctions and takeother actions should the conflict further escalate. Separately, in October 2023, Israel and certain Iranian-backed Palestinian forcesbegan an armed conflict in Israel, the Gaza Strip, and surrounding areas. This conflict currently threatens to spread to other MiddleEastern countries, and may ultimately result in the United States and other countries becoming involved in the conflict. Although theCompany does not, and does not plan to, do business in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Israel, or the Middle East, it is not possible to predictthe broader consequences of these ongoing conflicts, which could include further sanctions, embargoes, regional instability, and geopoliticalshifts. It is also not possible to predict with certainty these ongoing conflicts and additional adverse effects on existing U.S. macroeconomicconditions, consumer spending habits, currency exchange rates, and financial markets, all of which could impact the business, financialcondition, and results of operations of the Company.

 

Globaleconomic conditions could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and growth.

 

Adversemacroeconomic conditions, including inflation, slower growth or recession, new or increased tariffs, changes to fiscal and monetary policy,tighter credit, higher interest rates, high unemployment and currency fluctuations could materially adversely affect our operations,expenses, access to capital and the market for our products. In addition, consumer confidence and spending could be adversely affectedin response to financial market volatility, negative financial news, conditions in the real estate and mortgage markets, declines inincome or asset values, changes to fuel and other energy costs, labor and healthcare costs and other economic factors.

 

Inaddition, uncertainty about, or a decline in, global or regional economic conditions could have a significant impact on our expectedfunding sources, suppliers and partners. Potential effects include financial instability; inability to obtain credit to finance operationsand purchases of our products; and insolvency.

 

Adownturn in the economic environment could also lead to limitations on our ability to issue new debt; reduced liquidity; and declinesin the fair value of our financial instruments. These and other economic factors could materially adversely affect our business, resultsof operations, financial condition and growth.

 

Wemay become party to litigation, mediation and/or arbitration from time to time given our product focus.

 

Wemay become party to regulatory proceedings, litigation, mediation and/or arbitration from time to time in the ordinary course of businesswhich could adversely affect our business. Monitoring and defending against legal actions, whether or not meritorious, can be time-consuming,divert management’s attention and resources and cause us to incur significant expenses. In addition, legal fees and costs incurredin connection with such activities may be significant and we could, in the future, be subject to judgments or enter into settlementsof claims for significant monetary damages. While we expect to have insurance in the future that may cover the costs and awards of certaintypes of litigation, the amount of our future insurance may not be sufficient to cover any costs or awards. Substantial litigation costsor an adverse result in any litigation may adversely impact our business, operating results or financial condition.

 

Higherlabor costs due to statutory and regulatory changes could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operatingresults.

 

Variousfederal and state labor laws, including new laws and regulations enacted in response to COVID-19, govern our relationships with our employeesand affect operating costs. These laws include employee classifications as exempt or non-exempt, minimum wage requirements, unemploymenttax rates, workers’ compensation rates, overtime, family leave, workplace health and safety standards, payroll taxes, citizenshiprequirements and other wage and benefit requirements for employees classified as non-exempt. As certain of our employees are paid atrates set at, or above but related to, the applicable minimum wage, further increases in the minimum wage could increase our labor costs.Significant additional government regulations could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

 

Failureto adequately manage our planned aggressive growth strategy may harm our business or increase our risk of failure.

 

Forthe foreseeable future, we intend to pursue an aggressive growth strategy for the expansion of our operations through increased marketing.Our ability to rapidly expand our operations will depend upon many factors, including our ability to work in a regulated environment,establish and maintain strategic relationships with suppliers, and obtain adequate capital resources on acceptable terms. Any restrictionson our ability to expand may have a materially adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Accordingly,we may be unable to achieve our targets for sales growth, and our operations may not be successful or achieve anticipated operating results.

 

56

 

Additionally,our growth may place a significant strain on our managerial, administrative, operational, and financial resources and our infrastructure.Our future success will depend, in part, upon the ability of our senior management to manage growth effectively. This will require usto, among other things:

 

  implement additional management information systems;
     
  further develop our operating, administrative, legal, financial, and accounting systems and controls;
     
  hire additional personnel;
     
  develop additional levels of management within our company;
     
  locate additional office space; and
     
  maintain close coordination among our operations, legal, finance, sales and marketing, and client service and support personnel.

 

Asa result, we may lack the resources to deploy our services on a timely and cost-effective basis. Failure to accomplish any of these requirementscould impair our ability to deliver services in a timely fashion or attract and retain new customers.

 

Ifwe make any acquisitions, they may disrupt or have a negative impact on our business.

 

Ifwe make acquisitions in the future, we could have difficulty integrating the acquired company’s assets, personnel and operationswith our own. We do not anticipate that any acquisitions or mergers we may enter into in the future would result in a change of controlof the Company. In addition, the key personnel of the acquired business may not be willing to work for us. We cannot predict the effectexpansion may have on our core business. Regardless of whether we are successful in making an acquisition, the negotiations could disruptour ongoing business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses. In addition to the risks described above, acquisitionsare accompanied by a number of inherent risks, including, without limitation, the following:

 

  the difficulty of integrating acquired products, services or operations;
     
  the potential disruption of the ongoing businesses and distraction of our management and the management of acquired companies;
     
  difficulties in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;
     
  the potential impairment of relationships with employees and customers as a result of any integration of new management personnel;
     
  the potential inability or failure to achieve additional sales and enhance our customer base through cross-marketing of the products to new and existing customers;
     
  the effect of any government regulations which relate to the business acquired;
     
  potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired businesses or product lines, or the need to spend significant amounts to retool, reposition or modify the marketing and sales of acquired products or operations, or the defense of any litigation, whether or not successful, resulting from actions of the acquired company prior to our acquisition; and
     
  potential expenses under the labor, environmental and other laws of various jurisdictions.

 

Ourbusiness could be severely impaired if and to the extent that we are unable to succeed in addressing any of these risks or other problemsencountered in connection with an acquisition, many of which cannot be presently identified. These risks and problems could disrupt ourongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase our expenses and adversely affect our results of operations.

 

Claims,litigation, government investigations, and other proceedings may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

Wemay be subject to actual and threatened claims, litigation, reviews, investigations, and other proceedings, including proceedings relatingto products offered by us and by third parties, and other matters. Any of these types of proceedings, may have an adverse effect on usbecause of legal costs, disruption of our operations, diversion of management resources, negative publicity, and other factors. The outcomesof these matters are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties. Determining legal reserves and possible lossesfrom such matters involves judgment and may not reflect the full range of uncertainties and unpredictable outcomes. Until the final resolutionof such matters, we may be exposed to losses in excess of the amount recorded, and such amounts could be material. Should any of ourestimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, it could have a material effect on our business, consolidated financialposition, results of operations, or cash flows. In addition, it is possible that a resolution of one or more such proceedings, includingas a result of a settlement, could require us to make substantial future payments, prevent us from offering certain products or services,require us to change our business practices in a manner materially adverse to our business, requiring development of non-infringing orotherwise altered products or technologies, damaging our reputation, or otherwise having a material effect on our operations.

 

57

 

Wemay incur indebtedness in the future which could reduce our financial flexibility, increase interest expense and adversely impact ouroperations and our costs.

 

Wemay incur significant amounts of indebtedness in the future. Our level of indebtedness could affect our operations in several ways, includingthe following:

 

  a significant portion of our cash flows is required to be used to service our indebtedness;
     
  a high level of debt increases our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
     
  covenants contained in the agreements governing our outstanding indebtedness limit our ability to borrow additional funds and provide additional security interests, dispose of assets, pay dividends and make certain investments;
     
  a high level of debt may place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that are less leveraged and, therefore, may be able to take advantage of opportunities that our indebtedness may prevent us from pursuing; and
     
  debt covenants may affect our flexibility in planning for, and reacting to, changes in the economy and in our industry.

 

Ahigh level of indebtedness increases the risk that we may default on our debt obligations. We may not be able to generate sufficientcash flows to pay the principal or interest on our debt, and future working capital, borrowings or equity financing may not be availableto pay or refinance such debt. If we do not have sufficient funds and are otherwise unable to arrange financing, we may have to sellsignificant assets or have a portion of our assets foreclosed upon which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financialcondition and results of operations.

 

Forall of the foregoing reasons and others set forth herein, an investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk.

 

AdditionalRisk Factors:

 

Investorswho buy shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices.

 

Investorswho purchase shares of common stock in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience differentlevels of dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. In connection with the ELOC, we will have discretion, subjectto market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares of common stock sold to the Purchaser. Similarly, the Purchasermay sell such shares of common stock at different times and at different prices. Investors may experience a decline in the valueof the shares they purchase from the Purchaser in this offering as a result of sales made by us in future transactions to thePurchaser at prices lower than the prices they paid. Sales to the Purchaser by us could result in substantial dilutionto the interests of other holders of our common stock. Additionally, the sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock tothe Purchaser, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securitiesin the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales, which could have a materially adverse effect onour business and operations.

 

Ourmanagement will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from our sale of shares of common stock to the Purchaser,and you may not agree with how we use the proceeds and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.

 

Ourmanagement will have broad discretion with respect to the use of proceeds from the sale of any shares of our common stock to the Purchaser,including for any of the purposes described in the section of this prospectus entitled “Use of Proceeds.” You will be relyingon the judgment of our management regarding the application of the proceeds from the sale of any shares of our common stock to the Purchaser.The results and effectiveness of the use of proceeds are uncertain, and we could spend the proceeds in ways that you do not agreewith or that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. Our failure to apply these funds effectivelycould harm our business, delay the development of our pipeline product candidates and cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

58

 

Wemay require additional financing to sustain our operations, without which we may not be able to continue operations, and the terms ofsubsequent financings may adversely impact our stockholders.

 

Wemay direct the Purchaser to purchase up to $25,000,000 worth of shares of our common stock under the ELOC until April4, 2026, in amounts up to $25,000,000 in shares of our common stock depending on market prices.

 

Ourability to sell shares to the Purchaser and obtain funds under the ELOC is limited by the terms and conditions in the ELOC,including restrictions on the amounts we may sell to the Purchaser at any one time, and a limitation on our ability to sell sharesto the Purchaser to the extent that it would cause the Purchaser to beneficially own more than 9.99% of our outstandingshares of common stock. Additionally, we will only be able to sell or issue to the Purchaser (subject to certain reductions andother adjustments pursuant to the ELOC, the “Exchange Cap”) in total under the ELOC, which is equal to 19.99%of the aggregate number of shares outstanding prior to execution of the ELOC, unless stockholder approval is obtained to issuein excess of such amount. Therefore, we may not in the future have access to the full amount available to us under the ELOC, dependingon the price of our common stock. In addition, any amounts we sell under the ELOC may not satisfy all of our funding needs, evenif we are able and choose to sell and issue all of our common stock currently registered.

 

Theextent we rely on the Purchaser as a source of funding will depend on a number of factors including the prevailing market priceof our common stock and the extent to which we are able to secure working capital from other sources. If obtaining sufficient fundingfrom the Purchaser were to prove unavailable or prohibitively dilutive, we will need to secure another source of funding in orderto satisfy our working capital needs. Depending on the type and the terms of any financing we pursue, stockholders’ rights andthe value of their investment in our common stock could be reduced. A financing could involve one or more types of securities includingcommon stock, convertible debt, or warrants to acquire common stock. These securities could be issued at or below the then prevailingmarket price for our common stock. If the issuance of new securities results in diminished rights to holders of our common stock, themarket price of our common stock could be negatively impacted. Should the financing we require to sustain our working capital needs beunavailable or prohibitively expensive when we require it, the consequences could be a material adverse effect on our business, operatingresults, financial condition, and prospects.

 

USEOF PROCEEDS

 

Anyproceeds received by the Company from the sale of shares of common stock pursuant to the ELOC and from the exercise of the Warrantswill be used for general working capital. A portion of the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock will go to the selling stockholdersas described below in the sections entitled “Selling Stockholders” and “Plan of Distribution”. We have agreedto bear the expenses relating to the registration of the shares of common stock for the selling stockholders.

 

DividendPolicy

 

Wehave never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain earnings, if any, to finance the growthand development of our business. We do not expect to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Payment offuture dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our financial condition, results ofoperations, capital requirements, restrictions contained in any financing instruments, provisions of applicable law and other factorsthe board deems relevant

Planof Operations

 

Wehad working capital of $0.7 million as of December 31, 2023. With our current cash on hand, expected revenues, and based on our currentaverage monthly expenses, we currently anticipate the need for additional funding in order to continue our operations at their currentlevels and to pay the costs associated with being a public company for the next 12 months. We may also require additional funding inthe future to expand or complete acquisitions.

 

Ourplan for the next 12 months is to continue using the same marketing and management strategies and continue providing a quality productwith excellent customer service while also seeking to expand our operations organically or through acquisitions as funding and opportunitiesarise. As our business continues to grow, customer feedback will be integral in making small adjustments to improve products and ouroverall customer experience.

 

Weare headquartered in Dallas, Texas and intend to grow our business both organically and through identifying acquisition targets overthe next 12 months in the technology, health and wellness space, funding permitting. Specifically, we plan to continue to make additionaland ongoing technology enhancements to our platform, further develop, market and advertise additional men’s health and wellnessrelated products on our telemedicine platform, and identify strategic acquisitions that complement our vision. As these opportunitiesarise, we will determine the best method for financing such acquisitions and growth which may include the issuance of debt instruments,common stock, preferred stock, or a combination thereof, all of which may result in significant dilution to existing shareholders.

 

Wemay seek additional funding in the future through equity financings, debt financings or other capital sources, including collaborationswith other companies or other strategic transactions. We may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms or at all. The termsof any financing may adversely affect the holdings or rights of our shareholders and/or create significant dilution. Although we continueto pursue these plans, there is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining sufficient funding on terms acceptable to us tofund continued operations, if at all.

Comparisonof the Year Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022

 

Revenues

 

Webegan generating revenues in November 2022 and had revenues of $731,493 and $8,939 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Costof Revenues

 

Wehad cost of revenues of $154,900 and $4,089 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, relating to amounts paid toEpiq Scripts, a related party, 51% owned and controlled by Jacob D. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, which entity providesus pharmacy and compounding services, resulting in gross profit of $431,501 and $4,850 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022,respectively. The related party cost of revenues was associated with the Master Services Agreement entered into with Epiq Scripts anda related statement of work and the remaining cost of revenues was attributed to the amounts paid to our unrelated party doctors networkand shipping expenses.

 

TheCompany analyzed the following factors when determining the amounts to be paid to Epiq Scripts under the Master Services Agreement andrelated statement of work: a) the fairness of the terms for the Company (including fairness from a financial point of view); b) the materialityof the transaction; c) bids / terms for a similar transaction from unrelated parties; d) the structure of the transaction; and e) theinterests of each related party in the transaction.

 

OperatingExpenses and Net Loss

 

Wehad total general and administrative expenses of $9,608,409 and $1,996,432 and imputed interest expense of $0 and $6,473 (which representedimputed interest on the related party loans which were repaid as discussed below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”)for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, resulting in a net loss of $9,212,417 and $1,998,055, respectively, forthe years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

 

Theincrease in general administration expenses for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, compared to the prior period, was due primarilyto (a) stock-based compensation totaling $2,155,144 and $774,153 (including a total of $1,530,651 and $540,065 attributed to stock issuedfor services and $624,463 and $234,088 attributed to stock-based compensation from issuances of options and warrants), respectively,which increase was due to us having issued less stock for compensation during the 2022 period; (b) advertising and marketing expensesin the amount of $2,097,505 and $352,860, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to us increasing ouradvertising and marketing costs in the 2023 period as we ramped up our marketing efforts in connection with the expansion of our operations;(c) legal fees of $327,055 and $231,799, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, mainly related to legal fees inconnection with our initial public offering and related matters; (d) placement agent fees of $496,000 and $160,000, for the years endedDecember 2023 and 2022, respectively, relating to fees paid to our placement agent in connection with our private placement and initialpublic offering; (e) salaries and benefits of $914,115 and $164,941 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, whichincreased due to the engagement of new employees as we ramped up our operations in the current period; (f) accounting and auditing feesof $121,330 and $44,500, for the years ended December 2023 and 2022, respectively, which was in connection with fees paid to our accountantsand auditors in connection with the preparation of the financial statements for our initial public offering , quarterly reviews, andannual filing; (g) general consulting related expenses of $585,729 and $622,331, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively,related to other various consulting fees paid in connection with our operations in the current period; and (h) software development feesof $434,490 and $72,440 for the years ended December 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to the front and backend development of ourwebsite in the current period.

We had not yet implemented our online ordering in the first nine months of 2022.

Liquidityand Capital Resources

 

Asof December 31, 2023, we had $739,006 of cash on-hand, compared to $682,860 of cash on-hand of December 31, 2022. We also had $60,953of prepaid expenses, related party, relating to amounts funded to Epiq Scripts, which is 51% owned and controlled by Jacob D. Cohen,our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, $18,501 of inventory; $96,129 of property and equipment, net, consisting of computers, officeand custom product packaging equipment, $16,942 of security deposit, representing the security deposit on our leased office space and$119,262 of right of use asset in connection with our office space lease. Cash increased mainly due to funds raised in the IPO and FollowOn Offering, offset by cash used for general operating expenses.

 

Asof December 31, 2023, the Company had total current liabilities of $276,039, consisting of $140,765 of accounts payable and accrued liabilities,$6,595 of payroll tax liabilities, and $63,718 of right-of-use liability, operating lease, current portion. We also had $64,961 of right-of-useliability, long-term.

 

Asof December 31, 2023, we had $1,050,793 in total assets, $276,039 in total liabilities, working capital of $0.6 million and a total accumulateddeficit of $11,228,173.

 

Wehave mainly relied on related party loans, as well as funds raised through the sale of securities, mainly through the private placementoffering, our IPO and our Follow On Offering, each discussed below, and revenues generated from sales of our Mango ED and Mango GROWproducts, to support our operations since inception. We have primarily used our available cash to pay operating expenses. We do not haveany material commitments for capital expenditures.

 

Wehave experienced recurring net losses since inception. We believe that we will continue to incur substantial operating expenses in theforeseeable future as we continue to invest to bring our Mango ED and Mango GROW products to market and to attract customers, expandthe product offerings and enhance technology and infrastructure. These efforts may prove more expensive than we anticipate, and we maynot succeed in generating commercial revenues or net income to offset these expenses. Accordingly, we may not be able to achieve profitability,and we may incur significant losses for the foreseeable future. Our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatoryparagraph in its report on our financial statements as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, our current capital resources,combined with the net proceeds from the offering, are not expected to be sufficient for us to fund operations for the next 12 months.We need to raise funding in addition to the funding raised in our IPO and Follow On Offering, to support our operations in the future.We may also seek to acquire additional businesses or assets in the future, which may require us to raise funding. We currently anticipatesuch funding being raised through the offering of debt or equity. Such additional financing, if required, may not be available on favorableterms, if at all. If debt financing is available and obtained, our interest expense may increase and we may be subject to the risk ofdefault, depending on the terms of such financing. If equity financing is available and obtained it may result in our shareholders experiencingsignificant dilution. If such financing is unavailable, we may be forced to curtail our business plan, which may cause the value of oursecurities to decline in value.

 

Tosupport our existing operations or any future expansion of business, including the ability to execute our growth strategy, we must havesufficient capital to continue to make investments and fund operations. We have plans to pursue an aggressive growth strategy for theexpansion of operations through marketing to attract new customers for our Mango ED and Mango GROW products.

The advance bears no interest and is dueon demand upon the Company’s ability to repay the advance from either future revenues or investment proceeds. The amount owed toZipDoctor was $70 as of December 31, 2021. Imputed interest equal to 8% per annum, or $0, was recorded against the related party advanceas of December 31, 2021. The amount was paid in full on May 24, 2022 and the amount owed to ZipDoctor was $0 as of December 31, 2022.

The Note Payable was payable in installments, requiring payments of $5,000 on each ofJanuary 1, 2023, February 1, 2023, and March 1, 2023, with a $31,630 payment due on April 1, 2023 and a final payment due on May 1, 2023.The January 1 and March 1, 2023 payments were timely made and on March 23, 2023, the Company elected to pay off the remaining balanceof $63,260. The outstanding balance on December 31, 2022 was $78,260 and as of December 31, 2023, was $0.

 

2022Private Placement

 

InAugust 2022, the Company initiated a private placement of up to $2 million of units to accredited investors, with each unit consistingof one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock, at a price of $1.00 per unit. The warrants have a five-yearterm (from each closing date that units were sold) and an exercise price of $1.00 per share. If at any time after the six-month anniversaryof the issuance date, there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for the resale ofthe shares of common stock issuable upon exercise the warrants, the holder of the warrants may elect a cashless exercise of the warrants.Boustead Securities, LLC, the representative of the underwriters in our IPO, served as the placement agent in connection with the privateplacement. In total, we sold an aggregate of 2,000,000 units for $2,000,000 to 23 accredited investors between August 16, 2022 and December22, 2022, the end date of the offering.

 

InitialPublic Offering

 

OnMarch 23, 2023, we consummated our IPO of 1,250,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $4.00 per share, pursuant to thatcertain Underwriting Agreement, dated March 20, 2023, between the Company and Boustead Securities, LLC, as representative of severalunderwriters named in the Underwriting Agreement.

FollowOn Offering

 

OnDecember 15, 2023, we entered into another underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Boustead, as representativeof the underwriters named on Schedule 1 thereto (the “Underwriters”), relating to a public offering of 4,000,000 shares ofthe Company’s common stock to the Underwriters at a purchase price to the public of $0.30 per share and also granted to the Underwritersa 45-day option to purchase up to 600,000 additional shares of its common stock, solely to cover over-allotments, if any, at the publicoffering price less the underwriting discounts.

 

TheFollow On Offering closed on December 19, 2023. As a result, the Company sold 4,000,000 shares of its common stock for total gross proceedsof $1.2 million.

 

Thenet proceeds to the Company from the Offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, wereapproximately $1.0 million. The Company used the net proceeds from the Offering to finance the marketing and operational expenses associatedwith the planned marketing of its Mango ED and GROW hair growth products, to develop and maintain software, and for working capital andother general corporate purposes.

 

Weand our directors, executive officers, and shareholders holding 5% or more of our outstanding common stock previously agreed, in connectionwith our IPO, subject to certain exceptions and without the approval of Boustead, not to offer, issue, sell, contract to sell, encumber,grant any option for the sale of or otherwise dispose of any of our securities until March 20, 2024, and any directors or officers whodid not enter into a lock-up agreement in connection with our IPO entered into a lock-up agreement in connection with the Follow On Offering,agreeing to not to offer, issue, sell, contract to sell, encumber, grant any option for the sale of or otherwise dispose of any of oursecurities for a period of 90 days after December 14, 2023.

 

OnDecember 19, 2023, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company issued a common stock purchase warrant to Boustead for the purchaseof 280,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.38, subject to adjustments. The warrant is exercisable at any time and fromtime to time, in whole or in part, until December 14, 2029, and may be exercised on a cashless basis.

The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the600,000 shares of common stock, after deducting underwriting discounts and expenses, was approximately $160,000. Inclusive of the fullexercise of the over-allotment option, a total of 4,600,000 shares of common stock were issued and sold in the Offering.

Needfor Future Funding

 

Asdiscussed above, our current capital resources, combined with the net proceeds from the offering, are not expected to be sufficient forus to fund operations for the next 12 months. We believe we will need funding in addition to the funding raised in our IPO and FollowOn Offering, to support our operations in the future. We may also seek to acquire additional businesses or assets in the future, whichmay require us to raise funding. We currently anticipate such funding, if required, being raised through the offering of debt or equity.Such additional financing, if required, may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If debt financing is available and obtained,our interest expense may increase and we may be subject to the risk of default, depending on the terms of such financing. If equity financingis available and obtained it may result in our shareholders experiencing significant dilution. If such financing is unavailable, we maybe forced to curtail our business plan, which may cause the value of our securities to decline in value.

 

CriticalAccounting Policies and Estimates

 

Thepreparation of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Statesof America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilitiesand expenses. “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the audited financial statements included under “Indexto Financial Statements,” below describes the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements.Certain of these significant accounting policies and estimates have a higher degree of inherent uncertainty and require significant judgments.Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actualresults, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected.

 

Acritical accounting policy is defined as one that is both material to the presentation of our financial statements and requires managementto make difficult, subjective or complex judgments that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations.Specifically, critical accounting estimates have the following attributes: (1) we are required to make assumptions about matters thatare highly uncertain at the time of the estimate; and (2) different estimates we could reasonably have used, or changes in the estimatethat are reasonably likely to occur, would have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

Estimatesand assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. We base our estimates on historical experienceand on various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as newevents occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minorand have been included in the financial statements as soon as they became known. Based on a critical assessment of our accounting policiesand the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, management believes that our financial statementsare fairly stated in accordance with GAAP and present a meaningful presentation of our financial condition and results of operations.We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparationof our consolidated financial statements:

 

Share-BasedCompensation - Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of FinancialAccounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, which requires recognitionin the consolidated financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instrumentsover the shorter of period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award or the vesting period.ASC 718 also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-datefair value of the award. Pursuant to ASC 505-50, for share-based payments to non-employees, compensation expense is determined at the“measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the service period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached,the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company initially records compensation expense based on the fair valueof the award at the reporting date. Additionally, we used this same methodology when determining the fair value of our restricted commonstock issuances to managers and other related parties.

 

66

 

Estimatingthe Fair Value of Common Stock - We are required to estimate the fair value of the common stock underlying our stock-based awardsand warrants when performing the fair value calculations using the Black-Scholes option pricing model

 

Ourdetermination of the fair value of stock options with time-based vesting on the date of grant utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricingmodel, and is impacted by our common stock price as well as other variables including, but not limited to, expected term that optionswill remain outstanding, expected common stock price volatility over the term of the option awards, risk-free interest rates and expecteddividends. Estimating the fair value of equity-settled awards as of the grant date using valuation models, such as the Black-Scholesoption pricing model, is affected by assumptions regarding a number of complex variables. Changes in the assumptions can materially affectthe fair value and ultimately how much stock-based compensation expense is recognized. These inputs are subjective and generally requiresignificant analysis and judgment to develop.

 

Warrants- In accordance with ASC 480, the Company classifies as equity any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-sharesettlement or (ii) gives the Company a choice of net-cash settlement in its own shares. The Company classifies as liabilities any contractsthat (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net-cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event isoutside the control of the Company) or (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares.

 

TheCompany accounts for its currently issued warrants in conjunction with the Company’s ordinary shares in permanent equity. Thesewarrants are indexed to the Company’s stock and meet the requirements of equity classification as prescribed under ASC 815-40.Warrants classified as equity are initially measured at fair value, and subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized so long asthe warrants continue to be classified as equity. The value of the warrant is based on accepted valuation procedures and practices thatrely substantially on the third-party professional’s use of numerous assumptions and its consideration of various factors thatare relevant to the operation of the Company.

 

JOBSAct and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

TheJOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company”can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have electedto take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act, for complying with new or revisedaccounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are nolonger an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in Section7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act.

 

Wehave implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and may impact our financial statements and we do not believe thatthere are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position orresults of operations.

 

RecentlyIssued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Fromtime to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that are adoptedby the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards,which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

 

InAugust 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ ASU”) 2020-06, “Debt - Debt with Conversion and OtherOptions (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 - 40)” (“ASU2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity,including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative,which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in U.S. GAAP. The ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its financialstatements.

Business

 

Overview

 

Weconnect consumers to licensed healthcare professionals through our website at www.MangoRX.com, for the provision of care via telehealthon our customer portal. We also provide access for customers to a licensed pharmacy for online fulfillment and distribution of certainmedications that may be prescribed as part of telehealth consultations, including our Mango ED and Mango GROW products.

 

Wehave identified men’s wellness telemedicine services and products as a growing sector in recent years and especially related tothe areas of erectile dysfunction (“ED”) and hair growth products.

 

MangoED

 

Wehave developed, and are commercially marketing and selling, a new brand of ED product under the brand name “Mango.” Thisproduct is produced at a compounding pharmacy and is available to patients on the determination of a prescribing physician that the compoundeddrug is necessary for the individual patient. This product currently includes the following three ingredients: either Tadalafil (theactive ingredient in Cialis) or Sildenafil (the active ingredient in Viagra) and Oxytocin, all of which are used in FDA approved drugs,as well as L-Arginine, an amino acid that is available as a dietary supplement. However, the fact that Tadalafil and Oxytocin are usedin FDA approved drugs, and L-arginine is available as a dietary supplement, does not mean that these ingredients will prove safe whencombined into a single formulation to treat ED. We currently offer two dosage levels of our Mango ED product and anticipate doctors prescribinga dosage based on the needs and medical history of the patient. Our Mango ED product currently includes the following amounts of thethree ingredients: (1) either Sildenafil (50 milligrams (mg)) or Tadalafil (10 (mg)), Oxytocin (100 International units (IU)) and L-Arginine(50mg); and (2) either Sildenafil (100 milligrams (mg)) or Tadalafil (20mg), Oxytocin (100IU) and L-Arginine (50mg). Our Mango ED producthas not been, and will not be, approved by the FDA and instead we produce and sell our products, including our Mango ED product, underan exemption provided by Section 503A of the FFDCA Act, as discussed below. Additionally, because our Mango ED product is being speciallycompounded for the customer by a pharmacist with a physician’s prescription and because the ingredients for our Mango ED productare publicly disclosed, this product formula can be replicated by other companies.

 

Weare not aware of any clinical studies involving (i) administration of Tadalafil or Sildenafil sublingually at the doses we provide patients,or (ii) compounding of Tadalafil or Sildenafil, Oxytocin, and L-arginine to treat ED, similar to our Mango ED products. We are, however,aware of other companies that are currently selling oral disintegrating tablets for ED, including those using a combination of Tadalafil(the active ingredient in Cialis) and Sildenafil (the active ingredient in Viagra). We believe that the potential safety risks associatedwith our Mango ED products are comparable to the safety risks associated with oral formulations of Tadalafil and Sildenafil approvedby the FDA for the treatment of ED. We do not expect significant safety risks associated with L-arginine, as the FDA has recognized inits regulations that L-arginine may be safely added as a nutrient to foods. Clinical studies of intranasal Oxytocin have also found thatOxytocin is generally safe and well-tolerated. Notwithstanding the above, because our ED product has not been, and will not be, approvedby the FDA, our product has not had the benefit of the FDA’s clinical trial protocol which seeks to prevent the possibility ofserious patient injury and death. If this were to occur, we could be subject to litigation and governmental action, which could resultin costly litigation, significant fines, judgments or penalties.

 

Launchof Mango Hair Growth Product - ‘GROW’ by MangoRx

 

Wehave developed, since November 16, 2022 are marketing, and selling, a new brand of hair growth product under the brand name ‘GROW’by MangoRx (“Mango GROW”). This product is produced at our related party compounding pharmacy and is available to patientson the determination of a prescribing physician that the compounded drug is necessary for the individual patient. Mango GROW currentlyincludes the following four ingredients - (1) Minoxidil (the active ingredient in Rogaine®) and (2) Finasteride (the active ingredientin Propecia), each of which is used in FDA approved drugs, as well as (3) Vitamin D3 and (4) Biotin, which are available as dietary supplements.However, the fact that Minoxidil and Finasteride are used in FDA approved drugs, and that Vitamin D3 and Biotin, are available as a dietarysupplement, does not mean that these ingredients will prove safe when combined into a single formulation to attempt to treat hair growth.Mango GROW is encapsulated in convenient chewable, mint-flavored RDT’s.

 

68

 

Wecurrently offer one dosage level of our Mango GROW product and anticipate doctors prescribing Mango GROW based on the needs and medicalhistory of the patient. Our Mango GROW product currently includes the following amounts of the four ingredients discussed above: (1)Minoxidil (2.5mg), (2) Finasteride (1mg), (3) Vitamin D3 (2000IU), and (4) Biotin (1mg). Our Mango GROW product has not been, and willnot be, approved by the FDA and instead we produce and sell our Mango GROW product and plan to produce and sell future pharmaceuticalproducts, under an exemption provided by Section 503A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

 

Weare not aware of any clinical studies involving the administration of Minoxidil and Finasteride sublingually at the dose we provide patients,or the compounding of Minoxidil, Finasteride, Vitamin D3, and Biotin, to treat hair growth, as is contemplated by our Mango GROW product.We are, however, aware of other companies that are currently selling oral tablets for hair growth, including those using a combinationof Minoxidil and Finasteride. Additionally, because our Mango GROW product is being specially compounded for the customer by a pharmacistwith a physician’s prescription and because the ingredients for our Mango GROW product are publicly disclosed, this product formulacan be replicated by other companies.

 

AdditionalInformation Regarding Mango ED and Mango GROW

 

Becauseour Mango ED and Mango GROW products have not been, and will not be, approved by the FDA, our products have not had the benefit of theFDA’s clinical trial protocol which seeks to prevent the possibility of serious patient injury and death. If this were to occur,we could be subject to litigation and governmental action, which could result in costly litigation, significant fines, judgments or penalties.

 

Wecurrently anticipate using a substantial portion of the net proceeds of this offering to finance marketing and general operational expensesassociated with the sale of our Mango ED and Mango GROW products. We launched our website in mid-November 2022. To date, we have soldonly a small amount of products and generated only minimal revenues.

 

MangoED and Mango GROW have been formulated as RDT using a sublingual (applied under the tongue) delivery system to bypass the stomach andliver. It is a generally established principle that sublingual drug absorption through the oral mucosa is generally faster than drugabsorption through the gastrointestinal tract. This is because sublingual drugs that are absorbed through the oral mucosa directly enterthe systemic circulation, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract and first-pass metabolism in the liver (see H. Zhang et al., Oral mucosaldrug delivery: clinical pharmacokinetics and therapeutic applications, 41 Clin Pharmacokinet661, 662 (2002). Though the active ingredients that comprise our Mango ED product are meant to treat ED - an issue that accordingto a 2018 study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine has been estimated to affect over one-third of today’s men’spopulation (with prevalence increasing with age) - we are also aiming to brand ourselves as a lifestyle company marketed to men seekingenhanced sexual vitality, performance, and overall mood and confidence, together with our Mango GROW product.

 

OurMango products are sold exclusively online via our website at www.MangoRX.com.

OurContracted Telehealth Provider

 

Inmany states, including Texas where our principal business office is located, the corporate practice of medicine doctrine prohibits corporationsfrom practicing medicine and from employing physicians to provide professional medical services. Many states that recognize this doctrinealso prohibit physicians from agreeing to share the fees they receive for professional services with unlicensed entities or individuals,a practice that is commonly known as “fee splitting.” The requirements for compliance with any applicable corporate practiceof medicine and fee splitting restrictions vary among the states. In Texas, for example, there is no statute that expressly prohibitsfee splitting, but the corporate practice of medicine doctrine has been interpreted to prohibit physicians from ceding control over theirfee structures to corporate entities or giving a substantial portion of the fees received to corporate entities.

 

Inorder to comply with corporate practice of medicine and fee splitting restrictions, we do not employ or directly contract with individualphysicians or physician groups, nor do we control their medical decision-making or charges. Rather, on August 1, 2022, we entered intoa Physician Services Agreement (the “Physicians Agreement”) with BrighterMD, LLC doing business as Doctegrity (“Doctegrity”),as discussed in further detail below under, which has agreed to make available to us, healthcare professionals, to allow them to provideclinical services directly to our future customers via telehealth. We have integrated these healthcare professionals to allow for telehealthconsultations and related services on our Mangoceuticals platform which has been developed and is complete. This platform is the backboneof our business as it connects consumers with both the medical provider and the pharmacy for fulfillment. It is also the system thatwe will use to create marketing funnels for outgoing marketing, customer management and support, and analytics for future sales.

 

Throughour Physician Services Agreement with Doctegrity (as defined below), the healthcare professionals are responsible for the practice ofmedicine and control of the clinical decision-making.

 

OurRelated Party Pharmacy

 

Asdiscussed in greater detail below under “-Material Agreements-Master Services Agreement with Epiq Scripts” and “-FirstAmendment to MSA,” we have entered into an exclusive Master Services Agreement and statement of work with Epiq Scripts, LLC (“EpiqScripts”), for its specialty compounding and packaging capabilities, fulfillment, and distribution of certain prescription productsavailable through our platform. These prescription products include our Mango ED and Mango GROW products. Epiq Scripts is a related partybecause it was 51%-owned by American International at the time of our entry into the Master Services Agreement and is currently 51% ownedby Mr. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, also served as the ChiefExecutive Officer and a director of, and had voting control over, American International at the time of the entry into the Master ServicesAgreement. As discussed under “Company Information and Formation,” our company was wholly-owned by American Internationaluntil April 16, 2022, when control of our company was sold to Cohen Enterprises, which is owned by Mr. Cohen. Epiq Scripts is a relativelynewly formed entity, having been formed in January 2022, and only began compounding drugs for patients in November 2022. On February15, 2023, the 51% of Epiq Scripts then owned by American International was transferred to Mr. Cohen as part of an exchange transaction,whereby Mr. Cohen agreed to cancel his preferred stock of American International, which provided him voting control over American International,in exchange for among other assets, American International’s ownership of Epiq Scripts. As a result, Epiq Scripts is currently51% owned by Mr. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Additionally, Mr. Cohen has served as the co-Manager of Epiq Scriptssince January 2022.

 

70

 

EpiqScripts is currently fully licensed with the Texas State Board of Pharmacy (“TSBP”) and further has State Board of Pharmacy(or its equivalent) licenses from the District of Columbia and 46 other states: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware,Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota,Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio,Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin,and Wyoming, with the intent of obtaining the remaining 3 state licenses by the end of 2023. Epiq Scripts has obtained its National ProviderIdentifier (“NPI”) number and is now a member of the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (“NCPDP”),a standards development organization. Additionally, Epiq Scripts has applied for the highest level of accreditation with the UtilizationReview Accreditation Commission (“URAC”), a Washington DC-based healthcare accrediting organization that establishes qualitystandards for the entire healthcare industry. Until Epiq Scripts receives licenses in the other three states, we are limited to sellingour Mango ED and Mango GROW products in only the states in which Epiq Scripts holds licenses. Although Epiq Scripts is physically locatedin Texas, it can ship products to customers in each state in which it holds licenses.

 

Asa result of the above, Epiq Scripts can currently only provide services to the Company in the District of Columbia and those 47 statesdescribed above and the Company will be unable to sell its products to any customers in any states other than those listed above, untilEpiq Scripts is able to obtain licenses in other states and will thereafter be limited to selling products to customers only in the statesin which Epiq Scripts holds licenses.

 

OurCustomer Portal

 

Ourcustomer platform connects consumers to licensed healthcare professionals through our website at www.MangoRX.com, for the provisionof care via telehealth and also provides access for customers to a licensed pharmacy for online fulfillment and distribution of certainmedications that may be prescribed as part of telehealth consultations. Additional features to this backend technology solution allowfor the creation and management of customer accounts whereby customers have the ability to login, view and make changes to their respectiveaccounts. These changes include, but are not limited to, reviewing order history, tracking order shipments, requesting and ordering productrefills and making other profile changes such as shipping address and payment changes. Our portal is not unique to the industry and isnot anticipated to be difficult or costly to replicate or replace.

 

Thebackend technology solution also houses and manages all customer data allowing the Company with additional key functionality, includingbut not limited to, providing customer service and support and data analytics for various marketing initiatives and reporting functions.

 

Wedo not anticipate selling any third-party products via our portal.

 

OurGrowth Strategy

 

Utilizea variety of marketing channels using data analytics to attract customers

 

Wecurrently market and advertise our Mango ED and Mango GROW products on a variety of advertising mediums including, but not limited to,social media, online search websites, podcasts, television, radio, out-of-home, and other media channels, in compliance with applicableFDA rules and requirements. However, due to such rules and requirements, we are extremely limited in the content of the claims and promotionalstatements that we are able to make regarding our products under applicable FDA regulations. We believe advertising in a diversifiedset of media channels is important to prevent overreliance on any single channel and to maximize the exposure of our brand to our desiredcustomers. We also intend to reach customers through our own social media accounts, press coverage and public relations, internally developededucational and lifestyle content, and through engagement of social media influencers, hired and paid celebrities and talent, and physicalbrand advertising campaigns, in each case funding permitting, and in each case subject to applicable rules and regulations, which areexpected to significantly limit the content of such marketing materials. We believe that this overall strategy will drive significantcustomer traffic to our platform, including direct type-in traffic and organic online search traffic.

 

71

 

Wealso intend to utilize a marketing strategy focused on analytics and data. We are designing our internal systems to measure consumerbehavior, including which types of consumers generate more revenue in their first purchase, generate more revenue over time, generatemore gross profit from their purchases, and which types of consumers are most valuable over their lifetime. We also plan on measuringthe effectiveness of our marketing budgets and the rate of return we generate from our marketing campaigns. We have retained and planon using an outside marketing and advertising firm to assist management in identifying marketing and advertising campaigns, media purchasesand mediums, and seeking to drive a sufficient rate of return from our marketing and advertising budgets.

 

Investin our telemedicine platform to enable sales throughout the United States

 

Weutilize both a synchronous and asynchronous approach through our telemedicine platform, connecting customers through our platform andcontracted physicians and pharmacy. An asynchronous visit allows a physician to verify the patient’s identity, demographics andcollect the medical history online without needing to physically see or speak to the patient. A synchronous visit requires the doctorto either speak directly to the patient and/or see the patient either via video conference or in person. As discussed above, we initiallyare focusing our sales in the District of Columbia and 47 states where our related party pharmacy is licensed, with the goal of eventuallyundertaking sales across all 50 states, pending licensing approvals of our related party pharmacy.

 

Providesubscription plans for recurring revenue and introduction of new products

 

Weprovide our customers with an option to purchase our Mango ED and Mango GROW products on a subscription basis. Subscription plans providean easy and convenient way for customers to get ongoing treatment while simultaneously providing the Company with predictability througha recurring revenue stream.

 

Forsubscription plans, customers are able to select a desired timeframe in which to receive products, which range from once every monthto once every six months. The customer will then be billed on a recurring basis based on the selected timeframe and specified quantityof product, which is shipped after each billing from our contracted pharmacy (Epiq Scripts). Customers are able to cancel subscriptionsin between billing periods to stop receiving additional products and reactivate subscriptions. Our integrated technology platform servescustomers from customer discovery, through the purchase of products on our website, to connecting customers with medical providers fortelehealth consultations (through our contracted physician network), to the fulfillment and delivery of orders (through our contractedpharmacy), and finally through ongoing management by medical providers (also through our contracted physician network). We believe ourplatform provides us cost advantages and efficiencies to offer customers affordable prices and generate increased revenues over time.

 

Inaddition to our Mango ED and Mango GROW products, we intend to launch new products over time and offer additional subscription-basedofferings which we hope will result in growth in revenue through recurring revenue streams.

 

MarketOverview

 

TheMarket for ED Products

 

Accordingto a January 2022 report published by Verified Market Research, the Global Erectile Dysfunction Drugs Market size was valued at $3.63billion in 2020, mainly due to the increase in patient awareness and the early adoption of sedentary lifestyle. Verified Market Researchalso projects that the total Global Dysfunction Drugs Market size will contract to $2.95 billion in 2028. The expected reason for thiscontraction is poor patient compliance with erectile dysfunction drugs and the future availability of cost-effective imitation medicines,as well as side effects of ED drugs. We do not anticipate our Mango ED drug suffering from these limitations, as we believe our productis easy to use and that we have priced our product competitively. Separately, Grand View Research, in a July 2022 report, projects thatthe U.S. market (where we are initially marketing our ED product) for erectile dysfunction drugs estimated at approximately $1.1 billionas of 2021, will increase at a 7.4% compound annual growth rate though 2030.

Itis also estimated that nearly 3-in-5 men in the US have suffered from erectile dysfunction, according to a survey reported in February2022, by LetsGetChecked, a leading at-home health screening and insights company (based on research carried out by Opinium Research among2,006 men in the USA, 1,178 of whom had previously experienced erectile dysfunction, from February 7-10, 2020). According to that study,age isn’t that big a factor either, with 56% of men 18 to 34 years old being affected, compared to 63% of those over the age of55. The study also determined that most men blame psychological factors for ED - with 41% blaming stress, 34% blaming having “toomuch on their mind,” and 31% believing it is performance anxiety.

 

TheMarket for Mango GROW

 

Accordingto the website of the American Hair Loss Association, (a) two-thirds of American men will experience some degree of hair loss by theage of 35, (b) by age 50, around 85 percent of men have significantly thinning hair; and (c) for around 25% of men, the start of malepattern baldness can begin before the age of 21. Additionally, and contrary to societal belief, we believe that most men who suffer frommale pattern baldness are unhappy with their situation and would take steps to change that. In our experience, hair loss affects everyaspect of the hair loss sufferer’s life including interpersonal relationships as well as the professional lives of those suffering.

 

Accordingto a May 2022 market study entitled, “Hair Loss Prevention Products Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis- by Product Type (Shampoos and Conditioners, Oils, Serums, and Others), Category (Natural & Organic, and Conventional), End User(Men, Women, and Unisex), and Distribution Channel (Supermarkets and Hypermarkets, Convenience Stores, Online Retail, and Others)”,by The Insight Partners, the hair loss prevention products market size was valued at $23.6 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach$31.5 billion by 2028, growing at a projected compound annual growth rate of 4.2% from 2021 to 2028.

 

MordorIntelligence LLP believes that the major factors driving the hair loss prevention market are changing lifestyle patterns, adoption ofa hectic schedule that increases stress levels, which in turn results in frequent hair loss at an earlier stage among the young population,growing disposable income, and increased emphasis on appearances.

 

Competitionand Competitive Advantages

 

Wemainly compete with other companies offering men’s wellness products, including Hims & Hers Health, Inc. and Roman, and withour Mango ED products, we compete against much larger pharmaceutical companies who offer ED branded drugs like Viagra (Pfizer) and Cialis(marketed by Lilly ICOS LLC, a joint venture between Eli Lilly and Company and ICOS Corporation) and their generic forms. With our MangoGROW product, we compete against the much larger pharmaceutical company Merck & Co., which offers the branded hair loss product Propecia,and Johnson & Johnson, the owner of Rogaine® - a branded form of Minoxidil. These companies have much greater resources thanwe do and well-known brand names.

 

Ourfuture men’s wellness products will also likely need to compete against other traditional healthcare providers, pharmacies, andlarge retailers that sell non-prescription products.

 

Furthermore,we compete with other companies, which have greater resources and a greater advertising budget, and which are also selling ED relatedproducts with either or both Tadalafil and Sildenafil (or similar products), in an oral disintegrating tablet and who are selling compoundedMinoxidil and Finasteride in both topical form (e.g., gels, foams, liquid solutions) and in oral capsule, tablet or pill form. For example,we are aware of other companies that are currently selling oral disintegrating tablets for ED, including those using a combination ofTadalafil and Sildenafil (the active ingredient in Viagra). However, we are not aware of any companies that are selling a compound consistingof Minoxidil and Finasteride in an oral disintegrating tablet form.

 

73

 

Wecompete against these competitors based on our branding, advertising, unique compounding, and product delivery system (i.e., our MangoED and Mango GROW products have been designed to be taken sublingually, rather than in pill form).

 

Relativeto other online direct to consumer telemedicine companies that are selling both generic ED medication and generic hair loss medications,we believe we have priced both our Mango ED products and Mango GROW product at a premium, due to the cost of compounding the productand the use of multiple ingredients. We are currently aware of a handful of other direct to consumer companies that are also sellingcompounded hair loss and ED medications and who are selling their products at a higher price than Mango’s current price. When comparingthe current market for various pharmaceutical related hair loss and ED products, we have attempted to position our pricing to be slightlyabove average as we anticipate marketing our Mango ED and Mango GROW products to a demographic that we expect will pay a premium forwhat we believe to be a premium product relative to the competition for the treatment of hair loss and erectile dysfunction.

 

RegulatoryEnvironment

 

Wecurrently produce and sell our Mango ED and Mango GROW products, and plan to produce and sell future pharmaceutical products, under anexemption provided by Section 503A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FFDCA Act”). Section 503A describes theconditions under which compounded human drug products are exempt from the FFDCA Act sections on FDA approval, prior to marketing, currentgood manufacturing practice (“cGMP”) requirements and labeling with adequate directions for use. One of these conditionsis that the drugs must be compounded based on the receipt of valid patient-specific prescriptions; another condition limits “copying”of FDA-approved products, which restricts compounding drugs that have the same active ingredients and route of administration as ingredientsthat are used in other FDA approved drugs which are commercially available. The FDA also prohibits any marketing or promotional statementsthat are “false or misleading in any particular,” including making any unsupported superiority claims against other productsor the failure to disclose a material fact.

 

Notwithstandingthe above, under relevant FDA guidance, the FDA generally does not consider a compounded drug to be “essentially a copy”of a commercially available drug if the compounded drug has a different route of administration as compared with the approved alternative,and our Mango ED and Mango GROW products are for a different route of administration (e.g., sublingual). In addition, the FDA does notconsider a compounded drug to be “essentially a copy” of a commercially available drug if the approved product cannot beused for the prescribed route of administration, which is available in the compounded version (which we believe it cannot, as discussedbelow). Finally, we do not expect that we will be deemed to have engaged in such “copying”, because our Mango ED and MangoGROW products are based on a prescriber’s determination for each patient that the change associated with the compounded product(our Mango ED and Mango GROW products) produces for the patient a significant difference as compared with the commercially availabledrug product. Under relevant FDA guidance, the FDA does not consider a compounded drug “essentially a copy” if a prescriberdetermines that there is a change, made for an identified individual patient, which produces for that patient a significant differencefrom the commercially available product.

 

74

 

UnderSection 503A of the FFDCA Act, it is the prescribing practitioner who determines if a compounded drug is necessary for the identifiedpatient and whether the change associated with the compounded product produces for the patient a significant difference as compared withthe commercially available drug product. FDA’s guidance states that FDA generally does not intend to question prescriber determinationsthat are appropriately documented. Our Mango ED and Mango GROW compounded products have been formulated as a Rapid Dissolve Tablet usinga sublingual (applied under the tongue) delivery system to bypass the stomach and liver. We believe this offers a significant differencebased on the fact that the approved versions are not available in the same route of administration (i.e., sublingual). A sublingual formulationmay be able to meet the clinical needs of a particular patient who desires a more rapid onset of action compared to an FDA-approved oralformulation. In addition, because the prevalence of ED generally increases with age, older patients who may have difficulty swallowingan FDA-approved oral formulation may benefit from a sublingual formulation that dissolves under the tongue.

 

Compoundeddrugs, like our Mango ED and Mango GROW products, are not FDA-approved. This means that the FDA does not verify the safety or effectivenessof such drugs. Instead, consumers rely on the determination of a prescribing physician that the compounded drug is necessary for theindividual patient. Compounded drugs also lack an FDA finding of manufacturing quality before such drugs are marketed.

 

TheFDA has the authority to impose significant restrictions on products through regulations on advertising, promotional and distributionactivities. In particular, the FDA will object to any promotional activity (including through testimonials and surrogates) that is “falseor misleading in any particular,” including the failure to disclose material facts. For example, the FDA will expect adequate substantiationfor an efficacy claim, which would require substantial evidence derived from adequate and well-controlled clinical trials. We believewe can conduct truthful and non-misleading promotional activities, including activities involving the use of testimonials and surrogates,with limited claims that do not require substantial evidence derived from adequate and well-controlled clinical trials and which do notinclude efficacy claims.

 

Weare also aware of data in the scientific literature supporting how the proposed combination of the compounds which make up our MangoED products (i.e., Tadalafil or Sildenafil, Oxytocin, and L-arginine) might be expected to perform in ED patients. Previous clinicalstudies (none of which we have paid for or undertaken ourselves) have suggested that either Sildenafil Tadalafil and L-arginine in combinationfor treatment of ED may be more effective than either compound alone (see L. Gallo et al., The Daily Therapy With L-Arginine 2,500mg and Tadalafil 5 mg in Combination and in Monotherapy for the Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction: A Prospective, Randomized MulticentreStudy, 8 Sex Med 178, 184 (June 2020) - finding that in general, combination therapywith Tadalafil and L-Arginine was superior to monotherapies for the treatment of ED; and M. Abu El-Hamd & E. Mohammed Hegazy, Comparisonof the clinical efficacy of daily use of L-arginine, tadalafil and combined L-arginine with tadalafil in the treatment of elderly patientswith erectile dysfunction, 52 Andrologia e13640, 3 (Aug. 2020) (“Hamd and Hegazy”)- finding that the combined daily use of L-arginine with Tadalafil therapy for elderly male patients with ED could significantly increaseSexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) scores and levels of total testosterone in comparison to L-arginine, or Tadalafil alone)-Thisis because L-arginine may increase nitric oxide, that in turn may increase cyclic guanosine monophosphate, which has relaxation and vasodilation(dilatation of blood vessels) effects on smooth muscle to assist in the treatment of ED (see Hamd and Hegazy paper). Furthermore, Oxytocinis a neurotransmitter linked to increased levels of social interaction, well-being, and anti-stress effects and clinical studies suggestadministration of Oxytocin may stimulate certain aspects of social interaction, and may cause anti-anxiety and anti-stress effects (seeHamd and Hegazy paper).

 

Furthermore,we are aware of data in the scientific literature supporting the efficacy of Minoxidil as an oral treatment (as discussed below), asopposed to topical treatments that have been more traditionally used and marketed for hair growth to date. Topical Minoxidil and oralFinasteride are current the standard first-line treatments for androgenetic alopecia (AGA)(male pattern baldness). Minoxidil in an oralformulation has been previously used for the treatment of severe and uncontrolled hypertension at a dose of 10-40 mg. Unintentionally,the early trials of oral minoxidil as an antihypertensive drug documented side effects such as hypertrichosis (excessive hair growthanywhere on the body) and hirsutism (excess hair most often noticeable around the mouth and chin) with chronic use. A study conductedby Ratchathorn Panchaprateep & Suparuj Lueangarun, and published in the September 24, 2020 edition of Dermatology and Therapy, foundthat oral minoxidil at a dose of 5 mg taken once daily, significantly increased hair growth in men with AGA after 12 and 24 weeks oftreatment (Panchaprateep, R., Lueangarun, S. Efficacy and Safety of Oral Minoxidil 5 mg Once Daily in the Treatment of Male Patientswith Androgenetic Alopecia: An Open-Label and Global Photographic Assessment. Dermatol Ther (Heidelb) 10, 1345-1357 (2020)).

 

75

 

Separately,Finasteride taken orally in the amount of 1 mg per day has shown to promote scalp hair growth and prevent further hair loss in a significantproportion of men with male pattern hair loss (McClellan, K.J., Markham, A. Finasteride. Drugs 57, 111-126 (1999).

 

Neitherwe, nor our representatives have had any conversations with the FDA staff regarding whether our Mango ED and Mango GROW products canbe sold pursuant to Section 503A of the FFDCA Act and future conversations with the FDA may result in the FDA staff raising issues withsuch sales pursuant to Section 503A of the FFDCA, requiring certain pre-requisites or changes to our current business plan, which maybe costly or time consuming, and/or may result in us being prohibited from selling our Mango ED and Mango GROW products pursuant to Section503A of the FFDCA Act.

 

GovernmentRegulation

 

We,as are many other companies, are also subject to environmental laws, rules and regulations which could affect our operations, includingthose disclosed below.

 

Physicianswho provide professional clinical services via telehealth must, in most instances, hold a valid license to provide the applicable professionalservices in the state in which the patient is located. As such, the physicians provided to us through our relationship with BrighterMD,LLC dba Doctegrity, discussed below under “Business-Material Agreements-Master Services Agreement with Epiq Scripts” and“-First Amendment to MSA,” are required to be licensed under applicable state law.

 

Toqualify for the exemptions under section 503A of the FFDCA Act, among other requirements, a drug must be compounded by a licensed pharmacistor a licensed physician that does not compound regularly or in inordinate amounts any drug products that are essentially copies of acommercially available drug product. As discussed below under “Business-Material Agreements-Master Services Agreement with EpiqScripts” and “-First Amendment to MSA,” we have entered into an agreement with Epiq Scripts, a related party, 51% ownedand controlled by Jacob D. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to provide us compounding and other pharmacy services.

 

Ouroperations are subject to extensive government regulation, from the entry into agreements with physicians or groups of physicians toprovide telehealth services to our potential customers, to the marketing and promotion of our products, the creation of our products,and the sale of our products through licensed pharmacists.

 

Someof the rules and regulations we expect to be subject to include:

 

FederalAnti-Kickback Statute

 

TheFederal Anti-Kickback Statute (42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b) is broadly worded and prohibits the knowing and willful offer, payment, solicitationor receipt of any form of remuneration in return for, or to induce, (i) the referral of a person covered by Medicare, Medicaid or othergovernmental programs, (ii) the furnishing or arranging for the furnishing of items or services reimbursable under Medicare, Medicaidor other governmental programs or (iii) the purchasing, leasing or ordering or arranging or recommending purchasing, leasing or orderingof any item or service reimbursable under Medicare, Medicaid or other governmental programs. In addition, a person or entity does notneed to have actual knowledge of this statute or specific intent to violate it to have committed a violation. Moreover, the governmentmay assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulentclaim for purposes of the False Claims Act, we do not expect to apply to our operations as we do not plan to seek payment for our servicesfrom the federal government. Violations of the Anti-Kickback Statute can result in exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid or other governmentalprograms as well as civil and criminal penalties and fines. Imposition of any of these remedies could have a material adverse effecton our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Wedo not anticipate our current operations being subject to the Anti-Kickback Statute as we do not seek reimbursement under a federal healthcare program.

 

76

 

U.S.Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) Regulation

 

TheFDA regulates product promotion and noncompliance and this could result in the FDA requesting that we modify our product promotion orsubject us to regulatory and/or legal enforcement actions, including the issuance of a warning letter, injunction, seizure, civil fine,and criminal penalties. Other federal, state or foreign enforcement authorities also monitor product promotion and have the authorityto levy significant fines or penalties under other statutory authorities, such as laws prohibiting false claims for reimbursement, ifviolations of applicable law or regulations occur. We also believe that the FDA will likely consider our compounded combination productto be different from previously FDA-approved products, and that the FDA will not likely allow us to rely on any FDA-approved labelingor prescribing information.

 

Riskof Litigation

 

Additionally,federal and state statutes provide for private causes of action to plaintiffs alleging misleading marketing claims, or otherwise makingallegations which are found to be in violation of such laws. As such, misleading promotional statements and practices can lead to litigationunder state consumer protection and unfair trade practices laws. To date, there has been a substantial amount of litigation under theselaws challenging the marketing and sale of compound drugs and we may face legal actions, and be subject to significant penalties, judgmentsand damages, if we are found to have violated these laws.

 

HealthInformation Privacy and Security Laws

 

NumerousU.S. state and federal laws and regulations govern the collection, dissemination, use, privacy, confidentiality, security, availability,integrity, and other processing of health information. We believe that, because of our operating processes, we are not a covered entityor a business associate under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and the implementing regulations (“HIPAA”),which establishes a set of national privacy and security standards for the protection of protected health information by health plans,healthcare clearinghouses, and certain healthcare providers, referred to as covered entities, and the business associates with whom suchcovered entities contract for services. Because we need to use and disclose customers’ health and personal information in orderto provide our services, we develop and maintain policies and procedures to protect that information in the future.

 

Inaddition to HIPAA, numerous other federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations protect the confidentiality, privacy, availability,integrity and security of health information and other types of personal information. These laws and regulations are often uncertain,contradictory, and subject to changing or differing interpretations. Additionally, these laws may be similar to or even more protectivethan, and may not be preempted by, HIPAA and other federal privacy laws. The privacy and data protection laws in many states in whichwe operate are more restrictive than HIPAA and/or may apply more broadly than HIPAA. In certain cases, it may be necessary to modifyour operations and procedures to comply with these more stringent state laws. Not only may some of these state laws impose fines andpenalties upon violators, but also some, unlike HIPAA, may afford private rights of action to individuals who believe their personalinformation has been misused. We expect new laws, rules and regulations regarding privacy, data protection, and information securityto be proposed and enacted in the future; as state laws are changing rapidly.

 

Forexample, as of the date of this prospectus, eleven states-California, Colorado, Connecticut, Iowa, Indiana, Tennessee, Montana, Texas,Utah, Virginia and Oregon-have enacted consumer data privacy laws. The data privacy laws have a number of things in common with eachother, including allowing residents of those states the right to access and delete their personal information and to opt-out of the saleof their personal information, among others. Other provisions require commercial websites or online services to post a privacy policythat describes the types of personal information collected, what information is shared with third parties, and how consumers can requestchanges to certain information. Our compliance with these and future rules may increase our operating and expenses and our failure tocomply with these rules could subject us to fines, penalties and litigation.

 

Inaddition to the above, proposed or new legislation and regulations could also significantly affect our business. There currently area number of proposals pending before federal, state, and foreign legislative and regulatory bodies.

 

77

 

ProductLiability

 

Asa distributor of men’s health and wellness products, the Company faces an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims,regulatory action and litigation if its future products are alleged to have caused significant loss or injury. In addition, the saleof our products involves the risk of injury to consumers due to tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. Previouslyunknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of our products alone or in combination with other medications or substancescould occur. We may be subject to various product liability claims, including, among others, that our future products caused injury orillness, include inadequate instructions for use or include inadequate warnings concerning possible side effects or interactions withother substances. A product liability claim or regulatory action against the Company could result in increased costs, could adverselyaffect our reputation with our clients and consumers generally, and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operationsand financial condition of the Company.

 

Forexample, a 2014 study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association determined that Sildenafil (the active ingredientin Viagra) may be associated with a higher risk of developing melanoma. The study evaluated data from more than 25,000 men who used Sildenafiland found that Sildenafil use was significantly associated with an increased risk of subsequent melanoma, after considering other riskfactors. It is possible that the ingredients we use in our Mango ED and Mango GROW products or any other products we sell in the futurecould be found in the future to result in increases in the likelihood of developing cancer or other diseases, which could subject usto litigation, penalties or recalls.

 

Insurance

 

Wehave an insurance policy in effect that includes customary coverage and protection for professional liability, general liability, employeebenefits and protection against claims including technology products, services and against cyber security. Our insurance policy alsocovers exposure to product liability claims, including both technology product claims related to customer data breaches, copyright infringementand/or misrepresentation and fraud and any claims made in connection with any physical products and services sold through the Company’swebsite.

 

MaterialAgreements

 

PhysicianServices Agreement with Doctegrity

 

Pursuantto the Physicians Agreement, Doctegrity, which provides online telemedicine technology services and provides access to independentlycontracted licensed physicians and providers, agreed to (a) arrange for the services of a physician or, where appropriate, a mid-levelpractitioner with delegated authority from a physician, licensed in the appropriate state the practice of medicine will take place, whowill establish a physician/patient relationship with patients associated with the Company’s platform in accordance with the lawsand regulations of the appropriate state(s) and also provide physician review and assessment and quality control of the Company’sor related brands’ advertising of services, medical questionnaires and related prescription requests; and (b) provide an asynchronoustelehealth platform (and in certain cases, synchronous capabilities in certain U.S. states where and when available and applicable) whichprovides patient access to licensed physicians in the state from which the patient, who is participating under our platform, resides.

 

Wechose to contract with Doctegrity after reviewing and comparing the fees and services offered by similar telehealth platform companiesthat facilitate visits between health care professionals and patients.

 

Aftera patient visits our website and submits a request for a consultation with a health care professional, Doctegrity will communicate thepatient’s information to one of its affiliated physicians. Doctegrity and the physicians are responsible for conducting the telehealthconsultation and any ongoing communication with the patient in accordance with applicable laws. The physicians make a determination,in their sole discretion, as to whether or not to prescribe our products (currently our Mango ED and Mango GROW products) to potentialcustomers. If the physicians prescribe our Mango ED or Mango GROW products, then the customers pay us for our products. In turn, EpiqScripts, LLC, pursuant to the Master Services Agreement discussed below, is provided information on the customer and compounding of ourproduct, compound the product, and ship the product to customers using packaging and shipping materials which we supply.

 

78

 

Wepay Doctegrity for each physician visit conducted in response to request made by a patient on our website, regardless of whether thephysician prescribes our product to the patient. The fee we pay Doctegrity is fixed, set in advance and was negotiated at arms’length after comparing the prices offered by similar services. We are not a party to any contracts between Doctegrity and any healthprofessionals or physician groups and do not control how Doctegrity reimburses these providers.

 

Althoughour arrangement with Doctegrity, as summarized above, is structured to comply with applicable laws, including those restricting the corporatepractice of medicine and fee splitting, there may be a risk that a state agency, now or in the future as these laws (and interpretationsof them) evolve, would conclude that the arrangement and fee structure between Doctegrity and its contracted physicians and/or our agreementwith Doctegrity violates the corporate practice of medicine doctrine and fee splitting restrictions in Texas or in another state wherea patient who uses our Mangoceuticals platform is located.

 

ThePhysicians Agreement has a term of one year subject to automatic one-year renewals unless and until terminated in accordance with thePhysicians Agreement, including by either party with 90 days’ prior written notice with or without cause and for cause with tendays’ written notice.

 

ThePhysicians Agreement requires us and Doctegrity to maintain certain minimum levels of insurance, and contains customary representationsand warranties, force majeure provisions and confidentiality obligations. Pursuant to the Physicians Agreement, each party is requiredto indemnify and hold harmless the other party, its affiliates and representatives, from and against any third party claims, liabilities,damages, judgments or other losses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) imposed upon or incurred by them arising out of or asa result of: (i) any acts or omissions by or the willful misconduct of the other party, its affiliates or representatives in connectionwith the performance of any of their respective obligations under the agreement; and (ii) any material breach of the agreement by theother party, or its affiliates or representatives; except to the extent that such losses arising pursuant to (i) and/or (ii), arise fromthe bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the party seeking indemnification. The Physicians Agreement also includes customarylimitation of liability language, whereby each party waived any liability from the other for any indirect, incidental, exemplary, punitiveor consequential damages.

 

Doctegrity’sphysicians are tasked with determining whether patients seeking Mango ED or Mango GROW products are eligible to be prescribed our MangoED and Mango GROW products, respectively, with the sole purpose of the telemedicine engagement being for the determination, in the physician’ssole judgment, of whether the patient is qualified to obtain a prescription for the Mango ED or Mango GROW products. Doctegrity’sphysicians are required to electronically send prescriptions to Epiq Scripts (the Company’s designated and accredited pharmacypartner), which financial relationship is required to be disclosed in writing to the patient via the Terms and Conditions listed on theCompany’s website, including informed consent, and also informing the patient that the prescription is sent to the Company’sdesignated pharmacy partner. Doctegrity’s physicians are only able to prescribe Mango ED or Mango GROW products to patients seekingED medical and/or treatment hair loss , respectively, through our customer portal.

 

Theagreement also includes certain covenants restricting our operations, restricting us and our owners, directors, officers, and managers,during the term of the agreement and for 12 months thereafter from providing to or for any customer any services or products, solutions,of the type provided by Doctegrity, using confidential information received during the term of the agreement.

 

MasterServices Agreement with Epiq Scripts

 

OnSeptember 1, 2022, and effective on August 30, 2022, we entered into a Master Services Agreement with Epiq Scripts, which at the timewas 51%-owned by American International. Mr. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, served as the Chief Executive Officer anda director of, and had voting control over, American International at the time of the entry into the Master Services Agreement, and currentlyserves on the Board of Directors of American International. As discussed above under “-Formation and Transfer of Control,”the Company was wholly-owned by American International until June 16, 2022, when control of the Company was sold to Cohen Enterprises,which is owned by Mr. Cohen. Epiq Scripts was formed in January 2022, and only began compounding drugs for patients in November 2022.On February 15, 2023, the 51% of Epiq Scripts then owned by American International was transferred to Mr. Cohen as part of an exchangetransaction, whereby Mr. Cohen agreed to cancel his preferred stock of American International, which provided him voting control overAmerican International, in exchange for among other assets, American International’s ownership of Epiq Scripts. As a result, EpiqScripts is currently 51% owned by Mr. Cohen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Additionally, Mr. Cohen has served as the co-Managerof Epiq Scripts since January 2022.

Pursuantto the First Amendment, the parties agreed to amend the MSA to include certain Right of first negotiation rights and right of first refusalrights (each as discussed below). Additionally, the First Amendment provides for certain rights to Epiq Scripts in the event that theCompany seeks to obtain pharmaceutical services in connection with certain Company products (collectively, “Pharmaceutical Services”)in jurisdictions other than the United States, including, without limitation, Mexico and the United Kingdom, where Epiq Scripts doesnot currently maintain licenses or permits (“Future Jurisdictions”, which shall also include, to the extent applicable, anystate in the United States in which Epiq Scripts does not then hold required permits or licenses for the provision of the PharmaceuticalServices) and/or to terminate Epiq Scripts’ rights to provide exclusive Pharmaceutical Services in any current state of the UnitedStates or Future Jurisdiction where Epiq Scripts may then be providing Pharmaceutical Services to the Company (each a “CurrentJurisdiction”).

 

Specifically,the parties agreed in the First Amendment that should the Company decide to transfer any services provided by Epiq Scripts in a CurrentJurisdiction to another pharmaceutical service provider (“Transferred Services”), the Company will be required to pay EpiqScripts a fee of 1% of the total gross sales of all Prescription Products (defined below) by the Company resulting from the TransferredServices in the Current Jurisdiction, for a period of the lesser of (a) five (5) years from the date the Company transferred the TransferredServices; and (b) through the end of the term of the MSA (including where applicable, any renewal term)(the “Non-Use Fee”).The Non-Use Fee is payable monthly in arrears, for calendar quarters, by the 15th day following the end of each calendar quarter. “PrescriptionProducts” means Products (as defined in the MSA) sold by the Company which must be prescribed by a medical doctor.

 

Notwithstandingthe above, the Non-Use Fee shall not apply, and the Company shall not be obligated to pay any Non-Use Fee (a) in the event that the TransferredServices are provided directly by the Company or a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company; (b) in the event the Company decides toenter into an agreement with another pharmaceutical service provider to provide Pharmaceutical Services in a Future Jurisdiction; or(c) in connection with any services provided by any parties in any Future Jurisdictions.

 

TheFirst Amendment also provides that until the fifth anniversary of the First Amendment, the Company shall notify Epiq Scripts in writingof any plans to (a) expand its need for pharmacy services outside of those contemplated by the MSA; (b) expand its need for pharmacyservices into a new jurisdiction which Epiq Scripts does not then operate in (including, but not limited to new countries); or (c) beginproviding pharmacy services internally (either through organic growth or acquisition). Thereafter Epiq Scripts has the right to providethe Company written notice of its intention to provide such services (as described in (a) or (b) above, whereafter the Company is requiredto discuss and negotiate such services in good faith with Epiq Scripts for a period of not less than 15 days). Otherwise, in the eventof the occurrence of an event discussed in (c) above, the Company is required to discuss the possibility of Epiq Scripts either co-operatingthe pharmacy or providing management services to the Company in good faith for 15 days. In the event after such 15 day period, the Companyand Epiq Scripts cannot come to a mutually agreeable agreement, the Company is under no further obligation regarding the matter set forthin the notice provided to Epiq Scripts.

 

Finally,the First Amendment includes a requirement whereby if Epiq Scripts receives notice of any proposed fundamental transaction involvingEpiq Scripts or its assets, including any agreement, arrangement, offer or proposal (including a letter of intent, term sheet, form ofdefinitive agreement or definitive agreement) for an asset sale or acquisition, merger, acquisition or sale of securities, or redemptionor repurchase of securities, Epiq Scripts must provide the Company notice of such offer within three days, after which receipt the Companywill have the right of first refusal for 30 days to become the purchaser in connection with the notified transaction, on the terms, andsubject to the conditions, set forth in such notified offer and pursuant to the conditions of the First Amendment.

DirectorIndependence

 

Nasdaqlisting standards require that a majority of our Board of Directors be independent. An “independent director” is definedgenerally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationshipwhich in the opinion of the company’s Board of Directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgmentin carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our Board of Directors has determined that all of our directors, other than Mr. Cohen,are “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our independent directorshave regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

 

Inassessing director independence, the Board considers, among other matters, the nature and extent of any business relationships, includingtransactions conducted, between the Company and each director and between the Company and any organization for which one of our directorsis a director or executive officer or with which one of our directors is otherwise affiliated.

 

ShareholderCommunications with the Board

Upon receipt of any communication that is clearlymarked “Confidential,” our Secretary will not open the communication, but will note the date the communication was receivedand promptly forward the communication to the director(s) to whom it is addressed.

 

Policyon Equity Ownership

 

TheCompany does not have a policy on equity ownership at this time.

 

Policyagainst Hedging

 

TheCompany recognizes that hedging against losses in Company shares may disturb the alignment between shareholders and executives that equityawards are intended to build; however, while ‘short sales’ are discouraged by the Company, the Company does not currentlyhave a policy prohibiting such transactions. We plan to implement a policy prohibiting such transactions in the future.

BoardDiversity

 

Whilewe do not have a formal policy on diversity, our Board of Directors considers diversity to include the skill set, background, reputation,type and length of business experience of our board members as well as a particular nominee’s contributions to that mix. Our Boardof Directors believes that diversity promotes a variety of ideas, judgments and considerations to the benefit of our Company and shareholders.

 

OnAugust 6, 2021, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved a proposed rule from Nasdaq on diversity of boards of directors of companieslisted on Nasdaq. Pursuant to the rule as approved (the “Diversity Rule”), any company newly listing on The Nasdaq CapitalMarket that was not previously subject to a substantially similar requirement of another national securities exchange, is required tohave, explain why it does not have, at least two Diverse (as defined below) directors by the later of: (a) two years from the date oflisting; or (b) the date the company files its proxy statement or its information statement (or, if the company does not file a proxy,in its Form 10-K) for the company’s second annual meeting of shareholders subsequent to the company’s listing; provided thatif the company has a board of five or fewer members it need only have, or explain why it does not have, one Diverse director. Unlessexempt from the rules as discussed below, at least one Diverse director must self-identify as female and at least one Diverse directormust self-identify as an underrepresented minority or as LGBTQ+ (unless we remain as a smaller reporting company, in which case bothDiverse directors may self-identify as female). “Diverse” means an individual who self-identifies as one or more of the following:female, LGBTQ+, or an underrepresented individual based on national, racial, ethnic, indigenous, cultural, religious or linguistic. Wecurrently have one director who self-identifies as female.

 

DelinquentSection 16(a) Reports

 

Section16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of ourequity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reportsconcerning their ownership in our common stock and other equity securities, on Form 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive officers, directorsand greater than 10% stockholders are required by the SEC regulations to furnish our company with copies of all Section 16(a) reportsthey file.

 

Basedsolely on our review of the copies of such reports received by us and on representations by certain of our officers and directors regardingtheir compliance with the applicable reporting requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, we believe that all filings requiredto be made under Section 16(a) during the twelve months ending December 31, 2023 were timely made, except that Jacob D. Cohen, our ChiefExecutive Officer and Chairman failed to timely file one Form 4 and as a result three transactions were not timely reported and AmandaHammer, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, failed to timely file on Form 4 and as a result two transactions were not timelyreported.

2022Equity Incentive Plan

 

OnAugust 31, 2022, the Board of Directors and our majority shareholders adopted the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, which wasamended by the Board of Directors on February 26, 2024, subject to stockholder approval, and ratified by the stockholders on March 25,2024 (as amended, the “2022 Plan”).

 

The2022 Plan provides an opportunity for any employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company, subject to limitations provided byfederal or state securities laws, to receive (i) incentive stock options (to eligible employees only); (ii) nonqualified stock options;(iii) stock appreciation rights; (iv) restricted stock awards; (v) restricted stock units; (vi) shares in performance of services; (vii)other awards of equity or equity based compensation; or (viii) any combination of the foregoing. In making such determinations, the Boardmay take into account the nature of the services rendered by such person, his or her present and potential contribution to the Company’ssuccess, and such other factors as the Board in its discretion shall deem relevant.

 

SharesAvailable Under the 2022 Plan; Evergreen Provision

 

Subjectto adjustment in connection with the payment of a stock dividend, a stock split or subdivision or combination of the shares of commonstock, or a reorganization or reclassification of the Company’s common stock, the aggregate number of shares of common stock whichmay be issued pursuant to awards under the 2022 Plan is currently the sum of (i) 10,000,000, and (ii) an automatic increase on April1st of each year for a period of nine years commencing on April 1, 2024 and ending on (and including) April 1, 2032, in an amount equalto the lesser of (x) ten percent (10%) of the total shares of common stock of the Company outstanding on the last day of the immediatelypreceding fiscal year; and (y) 2,000,000 shares of common stock; provided, however, that the Board may act prior to April 1st of a givenyear to provide that the increase for such year will be a lesser number of shares of common stock. This is also known as an “evergreen”provision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no more than a total of 26,000,000 shares of common stock (or awards) may be issued or grantedunder the 2022 Plan in aggregate, and no more than 26,000,000 shares of common stock may be issued pursuant to the exercise of IncentiveStock Options.

 

Ifan award granted under the 2022 Plan entitles a holder to receive or purchase shares of our common stock, then on the date of grant ofthe award, the number of shares covered by the award (or to which the award relates) will be counted against the total number of sharesavailable for granting awards under the 2022 Plan. As a result, the shares available for granting future awards under the 2022 Plan willbe reduced as of the date of grant. However, certain shares that have been counted against the total number of shares authorized underthe 2022 Plan in connection with awards previously granted under such 2022 Plan will again be available for awards under the 2022 Planas follows: shares of our common stock covered by an award or to which an award relates which were not issued because the award terminatedor was paid in cash or any portion thereof that was forfeited or cancelled without the delivery of shares will again be available forawards, including, but not limited to shares forfeited to pay any exercise price or tax obligation.

 

Inaddition, shares of common stock related to awards that expire, are forfeited or cancelled or terminate for any reason without the issuanceof shares shall not be treated as issued pursuant to the 2022 Plan.

 

Theshares available for awards under the 2022 Plan will be authorized but unissued shares of our common stock or shares acquired in theopen market or otherwise.

BusinessCombinations under Texas Law

 

Anumber of provisions of Texas law, our Certificate of Formation, as amended, and Bylaws could make it more difficult for the acquisitionof our company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise and the removal of incumbent officers and directors. These provisionsare intended to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire controlof our company to negotiate first with our Board of Directors.

 

Title2, Chapter 21, Subchapter M of the Texas Business Organizations Code (the “Texas Business Combination Law”) provides thata Texas corporation may not engage in specified types of business combinations, including mergers, consolidations and asset sales, witha person, or an affiliate or associate of that person, who is an “affiliated shareholder,” for a period of three years fromthe date that person became an affiliated shareholder, subject to certain exceptions (described below). An “affiliated shareholder”is generally defined as the holder of 20% or more of the corporation’s voting shares. The law’s prohibitions do not applyif the business combination or the acquisition of shares by the affiliated shareholder was approved by the Board of Directors of thecorporation before the affiliated shareholder became an affiliated shareholder; or the business combination was approved by the affirmativevote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation not beneficially owned by the affiliatedshareholder, at a meeting of shareholders called for that purpose, not less than six months after the affiliated shareholder became anaffiliated shareholder.

 

123

 

Thislaw applies to Texas corporations which have more than 100 of record shareholders and which have not affirmatively elected to not begoverned by such law, we do not have more than 100 record shareholders and are not considered an “issuing public corporation”for purposes of this law. Separately, we have elected in our Certificate of Formation, as amended, to not be governed by the Texas BusinessCorporation Law. Notwithstanding the above, the Texas Business Combination Law does not apply to the following:

 

the business combination of an issuing public corporation: where the corporation’s original charter or bylaws contain a provision expressly electing not to be governed by the Texas Business Combination Law; or that adopts an amendment to its charter or bylaws, by the affirmative vote of the holders, other than affiliated shareholders, of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, expressly electing not to be governed by the Texas Business Combination Law and so long as the amendment does not take effect for 18 months following the date of the vote and does not apply to a business combination with an affiliated shareholder who became affiliated on or before the effective date of the amendment;
   
a business combination of an issuing public corporation with an affiliated shareholder that became an affiliated shareholder inadvertently, if the affiliated shareholder divests itself, as soon as possible, of enough shares to no longer be an affiliated shareholder and would not at any time within the three-year period preceding the announcement of the business combination have been an affiliated shareholder but for the inadvertent acquisition;
   
a business combination with an affiliated shareholder who became an affiliated shareholder through a transfer of shares by will or intestacy and continuously was an affiliated shareholder until the announcement date of the business combination; or
   
a business combination of a corporation with its wholly owned Texas subsidiary if the subsidiary is not an affiliate or associate of the affiliated shareholder other than by reason of the affiliated shareholder’s beneficial ownership of voting shares of the corporation.

 

Asdiscussed above, our Certificate of Formation, as amended, contains a provision expressly providing that we are not subject to the TexasBusiness Combination Law.

 

Anti-TakeoverProvisions of Our Charter Documents

 

OurCertificate of Formation, as amended, and Bylaws contain various provisions intended to promote the stability of our shareholder baseand render more difficult certain unsolicited or hostile attempts to take us over, that could disrupt us, divert the attention of ourdirectors, officers and employees and adversely affect the independence and integrity of our business. These provisions include:

 

Special Meetings of Shareholders - Our Bylaws provide that special meetings of the shareholders may only be called by our Chairman, our President, or upon written notice to our Board of Directors by our shareholders holding not less than 30% of our outstanding voting capital stock.

 

124

 

Bylaws - Our Bylaws may be amended by our Board of Directors alone.
   
Advance Notice Procedures - Our Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for shareholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of our shareholders. At an annual meeting, our shareholders elect a Board of Directors and transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting. By contrast, at a special meeting, our shareholders may transact only the business for the purposes specified in the notice of the meeting.
   
No cumulative voting - Our Certificate of Formation, as amended, and Bylaws do not include a provision for cumulative voting in the election of directors.
   
Vacancies - Our Bylaws provide that vacancies on our Board may be filled by a majority of directors in office, although less than a quorum, and not by the shareholders.
   
Preferred Stock - Our Certificate of Formation, as amended, allows us to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The undesignated preferred stock may have rights senior to those of the common stock and that otherwise could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of common stock. In some circumstances, this issuance could have the effect of decreasing the market price of the common stock as well as having an anti-takeover effect.
   
Authorized but Unissued Shares - Our Board of Directors may cause us to issue our authorized but unissued shares of common stock in the future without shareholders’ approval. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of a majority of our common stock by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
   
Action by Written Consent - Any action required or permitted to be taken by our common shareholders may be effected by written consent of the shareholders having not less than the minimum percentage of the vote required by the Texas Business Organizations Code for the proposed corporate action.
   
Majority Vote - Under the Texas Business Organizations Code, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting shares is typically required to approve certain fundamental transactions, including amending a company’s Certificate of Formation, approving mergers and conversions, and winding up the corporation; however, in compliance with the Texas Business Organizations Code, our Certificate of Formation, as amended, provides that all such fundamental transactions may be approved by majority vote of shareholders.

The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order,settlement or conviction, or on a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, is not of itself determinative that the Indemnitee did notmeet the requirements set forth in clauses (a) or (b) above. An Indemnitee shall be deemed to have been found liable in respect of anyclaim, issue or matter only after the Indemnitee shall have been so adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction after exhaustion ofall appeals therefrom.

Dividends

 

Asdiscussed under “Dividend Policy” above, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. In theevent that we do make distributions of cash or other property, those distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. federal incometax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles.To the extent those distributions exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits, they will constitute a return of capital,which will first reduce your basis in our common stock, but not below zero, and then will be treated as gain from the sale of our commonstock.

 

Dividendspaid to you generally will be subject to withholding tax at a 30% rate or a reduced rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty.In order to obtain a reduced rate of withholding, you will be required to provide a properly executed applicable Internal Revenue Service(“IRS”) Form W-8 certifying your entitlement to benefits under a treaty.

 

Ifdividends paid to you are effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by anapplicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by you in the United States), youwill generally be taxed on the dividends in the same manner as a U.S. person. In this case, you will be exempt from the withholding taxdiscussed in the preceding paragraph, although you will be required to provide a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI in order to claiman exemption from withholding. You should consult your tax adviser with respect to other U.S. tax consequences of the ownership and dispositionof our common stock, including the possible imposition of a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or a lower treaty rate) if you are acorporation.

You may be subject to backup withholding on payments on our common stock or onthe proceeds from a sale or other disposition of our common stock unless you comply with certification procedures to establish that youare not a U.S. person or otherwise establish an exemption. Your provision of a properly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 certifying yournon-U.S. status will permit you to avoid backup withholding. Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not additional taxesand may be refunded or credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnishedto the IRS.

 

FATCAWithholding Taxes

 

Paymentsto certain foreign entities of dividends on common stock of a U.S. issuer are subject to a withholding tax (separate and apart from,but without duplication of, the withholding tax described above) at a rate of 30%, unless various U.S. information reporting and duediligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfiedor an exemption from these rules applies. Under proposed regulations issued by the Treasury Department on December 13, 2018, which statethat taxpayers may rely on the proposed regulations until final regulations are issued, this withholding tax will not apply to the grossproceeds from any sale or disposition of common stock.

YearsEnded December 31, 2023 and 2022

 

NOTE1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

 

Mangoceuticals,Inc. (“Mangoceuticals” or the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of a Texas on October 7, 2021, with theintent of focusing on developing, marketing, and selling a variety of men’s wellness products and services via a telemedicine platform.To date, the Company has identified men’s wellness telemedicine services and products as a growing sector in the most recent yearsand especially related to the areas of erectile dysfunction (“ED”), hair loss and testosterone replacement or enhancementtherapies. In this regard, Mangoceuticals has developed and is commercially marketing a new brand of ED products under the brand name“Mango” and a new brand of hair loss products under the brand name “Grow.” These products are produced at a compoundingpharmacy using a proprietary combination of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved ingredients and is availableto patients on the determination of a prescribing physician that the compounded drug is necessary for the individual patient. Mangoceuticalsis currently marketing and selling these branded ED and hair loss products exclusively online via its website at www.MangoRx.com.

 

InitialPublic Offering. In March 2023, the Company completed an initial public offering (the “IPO”), in which the Company issuedand sold 1,250,000 shares of authorized common stock for $4.00 per share for net proceeds of $4.35 million, after deducting underwritingdiscounts and commissions, and offering costs. At the same time, and as part of the same registration statement, but pursuant to a separateprospectus (the “Resale Prospectus”) the Company registered the sale of 4,765,000 shares of common stock, including 2,000,000shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock with an exercise price of$1.00 per share.

 

NOTE2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basisof PresentationThe financial statements present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Companyin accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). All dollar amountsare rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.

 

CashEquivalents

 

Highlyliquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. The Company maintains the majorityof its cash accounts at a commercial bank. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insures the total cash balanceup to $250,000 per commercial bank. From time to time, cash in deposit accounts may exceed the FDIC limits, the excess would be at riskof loss for purposes of the statement of cash flows. There are no cash equivalents at December 31, 2023 and 2022

 

IncomeTaxes

 

TheCompany is a taxable entity and recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differencesbetween the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Income taxes areprovided in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when thetemporary differences reverse. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in incomein the year that includes the enactment date of the rate change. A valuation allowance is used to reduce deferred tax assets to the amountthat is more likely than not to be realized.

 

NetLoss Per Common Share

 

Wecompute net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earning per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic anddiluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss availableto common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPSgives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertiblepreferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used indetermining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes alldilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. There were 2,650,000options, 1,343,000warrants and no derivative securities outstanding as of December 31, 2023. There were 1,250,000options, 2,000,000warrants and no derivative securities outstanding as of December 31, 2022.

Useof Estimates and Assumptions

 

Thepreparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptionsthat affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financialstatements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results can, and in many cases will, differ fromthose estimates.

 

FairValue of Financial Instruments

 

TheCompany measures its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities, as well as makes related disclosures, in accordance with FASBASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which provides guidance with respect to valuation techniques to be utilizedin the determination of fair value of assets and liabilities. Approaches include, (i) the market approach (comparable market prices),(ii) the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and (iii) the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacityof an asset or replacement cost). ASC 820 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used tomeasure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

 

Level1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assetsor liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

Level3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such asvaluations derived from valuation techniques in which one more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

Thefollowing tables summarize our financial instruments measured at fair value as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Propertyand Equipment

 

Propertyand equipment are stated at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removedfrom the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from the disposition is reflected in earnings. For financialstatement purposes, property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated usefullives of three (3) to five (5) years.

 

Concentrationand Risks

 

TheCompany’s operations are subject to risks including financial, operational, regulatory and other risks including the potentialrisk of business failure. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no significant revenue from continuingoperations which were derived from a single or a few major customers.

 

Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model

 

TheCompany uses a Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of warrants and options issued.

 

RecentlyIssued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Fromtime to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company asof the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the effect of recently issued standards that arenot yet effective will not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

 

InAugust 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion andOther Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 – 40) (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments withcharacteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASUis part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in US GAAP. The ASU’samendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. TheCompany is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its financial statements.

Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised product tothe customer and, in contracts that contain services, by the provision of consultation services to the customer. The Company satisfiesits performance obligation for products at a point in time, which is upon delivery of the products to a third-party carrier. The Companysatisfies its performance obligation for services over the period of the consultation service, which is typically a few days. The customerobtains control of the products and services upon the Company’s completion of its performance obligations.

 

TheCompany has entered into a Physician Services Agreement with BrighterMD, LLC dba Doctegrity (“Doctegrity”) to provide onlinetelemedicine technology services to the Company. The Company accounts for service revenue as a principal in the arrangement with itscustomers. This conclusion is reached because (i) the Company determines which providers provide the consultation to the customer; (ii)the Company is primarily responsible for the satisfactory fulfillment and acceptability of the services; (iii) the Company incurs costsfor consultation services even for visits that do not result in a prescription and the sale of products; and (iv) the Company, at itssole discretion, sets all listed prices charged on its websites for products and services.

NOTE9 – GOING CONCERN

 

Thesefinancial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realizationof assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As reflected in the accompanyingfinancials, the Company had a net loss of $9,212,417 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and an accumulated deficit of $11,228,173 asof December 31, 2023. The Company will need to raise additional capital to successfully execute its business plan of which there canbe no assurance. The sources of this capital are expected to be the sale of equity and debt, which may not be available on favorableterms, if at all, and may, if sold, cause significant dilution to existing shareholders. If we are unable to access additional capitalmoving forward, it may hurt our ability to grow and to generate future revenues, our financial position, and liquidity, or force us toabandon our business plan. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Unlessmanagement is able to obtain additional financing, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to meet its funding requirements duringthe next 12 months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 

 

NOTE10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Inthe ordinary course of business, the Company may become a party to lawsuits involving various matters. The impact and outcome of litigation,if any, is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harmits business. The Company is not currently subject to any such litigation.

NOTE11 - INCOME TAXES

 

OnDecember 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), which significantly changed U.S. tax law. TheAct lowered the Company’s U.S. statutory federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, while also imposinga deemed repatriation tax on previously deferred foreign income.

 

TheAct also created a new minimum tax on certain future foreign earnings. The impact of the Act increased the Company’s deferred taxasset related to the Company’s net operating loss by approximately $9,212,417 and increased the Company’s valuation allowanceby approximately $9,212,417 resulting in no impact to the Company’s financials.

 

Werecord tax positions as liabilities in accordance with ASC 740 and adjust these liabilities when our judgment changes as a result ofthe evaluation of new information not previously available. Because of the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolutionmay result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the recognized tax benefit liabilities. These differenceswill be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which new information is available. As of December31, 2023, and 2022 we have not recorded any uncertain tax positions in our financial statements.

 

Theeffective US Federal Income Corporate Tax Rates for 2023 and 2022 are 21% and 21%, respectively.

 

TheCompany has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $11,228,173 at December 31, 2023 that do not expire. However, utilizationof these losses may be limited pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code due to subsequent stock issuances.

 

TheCompany has a deferred tax asset as shown in the following:

Item17. Undertakings.

 

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
       
  (1) 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 of 1933;
       
    (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the 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 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
       
    (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; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii), and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
       
  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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.
     
  (3) 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.
     
  (4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 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 will, as to a 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.
     
  (5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
       
    (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
       
    (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
       
    (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
       
    (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
       
(b) That, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than 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 or 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
   
(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
       
  (1) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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.
     
  (2) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
