REPORTS OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

LifeMD, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of LifeMD, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 2013 and our report dated March 11, 2024, expressed an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting because of the existence of material weaknesses.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

Description of the matter

As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company develops software within the scope of both ASC 350-40,Internal-Use Software (“Topic 350”). Costs associated with the application development stage are capitalized. Maintenance and enhancement costs, including costs in the post-implementation stages, are typically expensed as incurred, unless such costs relate to substantial upgrades and enhancements that result in added functionality, in which case the costs are capitalized. Capitalized amounts are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software.

We identified capitalized software development costs as a critical audit matter. Our principal considerations for this determination were the high degree of auditor judgment and subjectivity required in evaluating management’s determination of the activities and costs that qualify for capitalization and the relevant software development guidance to be applied under the applicable accounting standards.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical matter included:

●We obtained an understanding of the Company’s process for determining the activities and costs that qualify for capitalization and the relevant software development guidance to be applied under the applicable accounting standards
●We tested the mathematical accuracy of the roll forward of capitalized software and related amortization expense.
●For a sample of capitalized costs, we evaluated the relevance of the software development guidance applied by performing the following:
●We inspected underlying documentation and assessed the eligibility of costs for capitalization, to the application of the correct guidance.
●We evaluated the software implementation timelines and related underlying documentation supporting the capitalization periods for implementation and development amounts as well as the date the costs were placed in service.
●We inquired of project managers for significant projects to assess the nature of the costs, the time devoted to capitalizable activities and the underlying documentation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of

LifeMD, Inc.

Adverse Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited LifeMD Inc.’s (the “Company’s”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established inInternal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses described in the following paragraph on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established inInternal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weakness has been identified and included in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting:

●The Company had ineffective design, implementation, and operation of controls over program change management, user access and vendor management controls to ensure:
  1. IT program and data changes affecting the Company’s financial IT applications and underlying accounting records, are identified, tested, authorized, and implemented appropriately to validate that data produced by its relevant IT system(s) were complete and accurate. Automated process-level and manual controls that are dependent upon the information derived from such financially relevant systems were also determined to be ineffective as a result of such deficiency;

  2. appropriate restrictions that would adequately prevent users from gaining inappropriate access to the financially relevant systems; and

  3. key third party service provider SOC reports were obtained and reviewed.

●Business process controls across the entity’s financial reporting processes were not effectively designed and implemented to properly address the risk of material misstatement, including:
3)Controls with insufficient audit evidence to verify the completeness and accuracy of manually generated IPE (Information Produced by the Entity) and system generated IPE; and
4)Controls with insufficient audit evidence of formal review and approval procedures of key information utilized in the performance of the control.

These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the year ended December 31, 2023 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated March 11, 2024 on those consolidated financial statements.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated balance sheets as December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023 of the Company and our report dated March 11, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying “Item 9A - Management Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
