EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) to HealthLynked Corp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Original Filing”), which was originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 31, 2022 (the “Original Filing Date”), is being filed for the sole purpose of amending Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” of the Original Filing to add Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting in response to a comment letter from the Commission.
Except as described above, no changes have been made to the Original Filing and this Amendment does not modify, amend, or update in any way any of the financial or other information contained in the Original Filing. This Amendment does not reflect events that may have occurred subsequent to the Original Filing Date.
In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, new certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are filed as exhibits to this Amendment No. 1 under Item 15 of Part IV hereof. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment No. 1, paragraph 3 of the certifications has been omitted and no new certifications pursuant to Section 906 are included as exhibits to this Amendment No. 1.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021 based on the framework in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 2013. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2021.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. As defined by the SEC, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of our Principal Executive and Financial Officer and implemented by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued in 2013. Based on the evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that as of such date, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
