Among other "highlights" from HDVY's 10-Q:

"On July 17, 2013, the Company received a Civil Investigative Demand (the “Demand”) from the Federal Trade Commission of the United States of America (the “FTC”) relating to the Company’s MelApp software application. In the Demand, the FTC has requested information relating to potentially unfair or deceptive acts or practices related to (i) false advertising and (ii) consumer privacy and data security, in violation of Trade Commission Act, 15 U.S.C. Sections 45 and 42.



On February 23, 2015, the FTC notified the Company of its approval, by a vote of 4-1, to accept an Agreement Containing Consent Order (“Agreement”). This Agreement is for settlement purposes only. The Company neither admits nor denies any of the allegations, except as specifically stated in the Agreement. The Company believes the effort to contest this matter with the FTC would require funds greater than the Company has at its disposal.



The Agreement will, among other things, bar the Company from claiming that any device detects or diagnoses melanoma or its risk factors, or increases users’ chances of early detection, unless the representation is not misleading and supported by competent and reliable scientific evidence in the form of human clinical testing of the device. The Agreement also prohibits the Company from making any other misleading or unsubstantiated claims about a device’s health benefits or efficacy, unless the representation is not misleading and supported by competent and reliable scientific evidence in the form of human clinical testing of the device. Finally, the Company must pay $17,963 to the FTC. This amount is included in accounts payable in the accompanying balance sheet."

And revenues down to $10,000.

Pitiful.
