NOTES TO THE  CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2009 (UNAUDITED)

________________________________________________________________________

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

MedLink International Inc. (the “Company”) is a healthcare information enterprise system business focused on the physician sector.  The Company is in the business of selling, implementing and supporting software solutions that provide healthcare providers with secure access to clinical, administrative and financial data in real-time, allowing them to improve the quality, safety and efficiency in the delivery of healthcare services.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying interim unaudited  financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and six month period ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Form 10-K Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

 

In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2009, the results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, have been included.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation on equipment, furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of such assets between 3-10 years.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

June 30, 2009 (UNAUDITED)

__________________________________________________________________________________

 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Evaluation of Long Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are assessed for recoverability on an ongoing basis.   In evaluating the fair value and future benefits of long-lived assets, their carrying value would be reduced by the excess, if any, of the long-lived asset over management’s estimate of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows of the related long-lived asset.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

The Company accounts for its goodwill and intangible assets pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Under SFAS 142, intangibles with definite lives continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or contractual terms. Goodwill and intangibles with  indefinite  lives  are  evaluated  at least  annually  for  impairment  by comparing the asset's  estimated  fair value with its carrying  value,  based on cash flow methodology.

 

The Company’s intangible assets including goodwill are subject to impairment testing in the event of certain indicators.  Impairment in the carrying value of an asset is recognized whenever anticipated future cash flows (undiscounted) from an asset are estimated to be less than its carrying value.  The amount of the impairment recognized is the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its fair value.

 

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a revision of SFAS 123 (“SFAS 123(R)”) that requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the statement of operations. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. In addition, liability awards will be remeasured each reporting period. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. SFAS 123(R) replaces SFAS 123 and is effective January 1, 2007. The Company used the black-scholes option pricing model for estimating the fair value of the options granted under the company’s incentive plan.

 

Income Taxes

 

Under SFAS 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”, the Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expenses are expected to be settled in the Company’s income tax return.  Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes.  Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  The Company has incurred net operating losses for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes. Accordingly, for Federal and state income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal and state deferred tax asset.

__________________________________________________________________________________

 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

The Company also considers FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” when determing the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax return.  There were no uncertain tax positions expected to be taken by the Company as of March 31, 2009.    

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

Net loss per share, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 128, “Earnings Per Share” is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period.  Common Stock equivalents have not been included in this computation since the effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" which established that revenue can be recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, all significant contractual obligations have been satisfied, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. 

 

The Company derives its revenue from primarily from the sale and support of its proprietary software the MedLink TotalOffice EHR, and Autdoc through its Anywhere MD subsidiary. Revenue that is derived from the sale of software and related products, is recognized in the period in the sale occurred. Revenue that is derived from technical support contracts is recognized as revenue ratably over the term of the contract. Amounts received toward technical support contracts that are not considered earned are recorded as deferred revenues on the balance sheet. Deferred revenue balances at June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $70,384 and $70,384.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets,”, which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of intangible assets  under FASB 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.  The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of the expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FASB 141 (revised 2007) “Business Combinations” and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.    The Company does not anticipate a material effect upon its consolidated financial statements as a result of its adoption of FSP FAS 142-3. 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R. “Business Combinations”. SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141 and accounting for identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non controlling interests in business combinations.  SFAS No. 141R is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.  The Company’s adoption of SFAS 141R did not have a material impact upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2009.

MARCH 31, 2009 (UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements.” SFAS No. 160 addresses the accounting and reporting framework for minority interests by a parent company SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.  The Company is currently assessing the impact that SFAS No. 160 will have on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

 

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of our assets and the satisfaction of its liabilities in the normal course of business.  Through June 30, 2009, the Company had incurred cumulative losses of approximately $18,039,770.  As of June 30, 2009, the Company has negative working capital of approximately $2,130,104.

 

Management plans to take the following steps that it believes will be sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue in existence.  (i) Management intends to continue to raise additional financing through private equity or debt financing to pay down Company debt and/or reduce the cost of debt service.  (ii) Management is also planning to continue to finance the company using their own personal funds or using the equity that they personally own in the company.  (iii) Management intends to increase revenues and is actively pursuing additional contracts in several markets.

(“MedLink” or the “Company”) sells and supports a healthcare information enterprise system for physician practices, including a practice management and electronic health record (“EHR”).  MedLink’s core product offering is the CCHIT Certified 08 Ambulatory EHR, MedLink TotalOffice EHR, a healthcare information enterprise system that provides physician practices with an entire practice management, clinical decision support and EHR solution.  MedLink’s TotalOffice EHR is priced below competing products with similar comprehensive services.  MedLink also offers a “lite” version of its application, EHR Lite, which provides physicians with basic EHR functionality at no cost to physicians.  The MedLink EHR Lite is subsidized for physicians through affiliated radiology and laboratory integration fees, with the focus of upgrading physicians to the TotalOffice EHR.  Through a business partnership, MedLink offers physician practices complete billing, collection, consulting services and use of the TotalOffice EHR, all for a fixed fee.   

MedLink’s business strategy is to build critical mass and develop a national presence among small physician practices (1 to 10 physicians) by increasing market penetration of EHR Lite and the TotalOffice EHR.  As part of its growth strategy, MedLink has applied for inclusion as a preferred vendor to a number of Regional Health Information Networks (“RHIOs”) and has partnered with medical societies, radiology centers and laboratories, as well as value-added resellers.  MedLink’s strategic partnerships provide a framework for physician adoption and a captive audience to target a focused sales and marketing plan.

The market demand for EHRs has never been more promising given the number of government initiatives to promote adoption of EHRs by healthcare providers.  President Obama considers healthcare information technology as a key piece of his plan to fix the nation’s ailing healthcare system and in February 2009, signed the federal stimulus bill which provides over $19 billion in incentive payments for EHR use.  Recent and existing government programs provide funds that represent significant income opportunities for existing EHR users and new EHR adopters.

MedLink is well positioned to capitalize on the demand trend for EHR adoption.  MedLink is applying to be chosen as a preferred vendor for RHIO contracts for the implementation of EHR applications for physicians.  In addition, MedLink is working with other organizations, including the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (“NYC DOH”), to implement EHR applications. 

The Company is headquartered in Ronkonkoma, NY with offices in Atascadero, CA and Hyderabad, India.  The Company’s web site address is www.medlinkus.com.

Business Environment

 

Economic Stimulus Package Provides Incentives for Physicians to Adopt EHRs

 

MedLink’s TotalOffice EHR is well-positioned to be a beneficiary of the recently enacted stimulus bill, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”), which provides incentives for office-based physicians and other providers to adopt electronic health records.  Physicians can qualify under either the Medicare or Medicaid provision of ARRA.  The Medicare provision includes incentives of up to $44,000 per physician over a 5-year period.  The Medicaid provision includes incentives of up to $65,000 per physician over a 6-year period.  The funds become available for office-based physicians on January 1, 2011.  In order to qualify for incentives, physicians must demonstrate “meaningful use” of a certified EHR.  “Meaningful use” is not yet defined, but will likely be defined as measurable results that demonstrate quality, safety and efficiency improvements.  The certification requirements, also not yet defined, are likely to be based on the standards adopted by CCHIT and framed around the PQRI data submitted directly to the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”).

 

Medicare Provision: Beginning in 2011, office-based physicians who are “meaningful users” of certified EHRs are entitled to receive up to $44,000 of total Medicare incentive payments over 5 years, from 2011 to 2015.  The structure of the maximum incentives physicians can receive is as follows: $15,000 the first year, $12,000 the second year, $8,000 the third year, $4,000 the fourth year and $2,000 the fifth year.  Additionally, office-based physicians can qualify for a one-time, “early adopter” incentive of $3,000 if they qualify for the program in 2011 or 2012.

 

Medicaid Provision: Beginning in 2011, office-based physicians who qualify under the Medicaid provision could collect a total of $65,000, calculated as 85% of EHR costs not exceeding $25,000 in the first year, followed by 85% of annual costs not exceeding $10,000 over the next five years.  To be eligible under this provision, office-based physicians must demonstrate “meaningful use” of a certified EHR, and more than 30% of their cases must be attributed to Medicaid, or 20% of their cases attributable to pediatrics.  Office-based pediatricians are eligible to receive up to two-thirds of the maximum payment.

 

Office-based physicians who do not adopt EHR technology by 2015 will see their Medicare payments reduced by 1% in 2015, 2% in 2016, 3% in 2017 and beyond.  In 2018 and beyond, the HHS Secretary may decrease one additional percentage point per year (maximum of 5%) contingent upon the levels of overall EHR adoption in the market.

 

MedLink is particularly well positioned among competing EHR vendors when physicians decide to buy an EHR under this funding incentive.  MedLink’s TotalOffice EHR is one of the lowest cost applications in the market, has one of the simplest installations, both in terms of time and process, and is relatively quick to learn. 

 
 
 
 

Status of Operations

 

Regional Health Information Networks

 

As part of its growth strategy to expand its customer base and rapidly increase revenues, MedLink has applied for inclusion as a preferred vendor to a number of RHIOs.  RHIOs are quickly becoming key intermediaries to support federal and state financial incentive programs by allocating subsidies and grants to physicians to pay for EHR software and installation.  MedLink submitted a number of Requests for Quotations at the beginning of 2009 and is in the final evaluation process for a number of RHIOs in the New York Metropolitan area that have received current funding of more than $108 million in HEAL funding.

 

RHIO participation represents a key component of MedLink’s growth strategy.  MedLink is particularly well positioned in dealing with RHIOs as it is the lowest cost option among competitive offerings and as such, allows the RHIOs to apply their dollars across more physicians.  MedLink is positioned to take advantage of these RHIO opportunities as a result of its development process and its adherence to the various standards for handling and transmitting data with networks such as the National Health Information Network and the State Health Information Network of NY.  MedLink has already provided data to organizations in various manners and in doing so, has differentiated itself from a technology standpoint which has resulted in various projects becoming available to it in 2009.

 

New York City Department of Health

 

The NYC DOH has a number of initiatives underway to promote the adoption of EHRs in order to collect patient data.  As a normal part of its business strategy, MedLink has been in active discussions with the NYC DOH to participate in these initiatives and to promote the installation EHRs as one means for the NYC DOH to accomplish their objectives.  MedLink has already established the required protocols for Physicians Measure Reporting as well as specific Syndromic Reporting and is working with the NYC DOH on a number of other initiatives.

 

Billing Services Partnership

 

MedLink has partnered with multiple billing companies to offer a complete billing and collection service offering.  Billing companies have realized the significant market opportunity of EHRs and the need for the billing industry to align themselves with a CCHIT-certified EHR.  The billing companies provide full billing and collections services as well as complete medical office management and group purchasing.  MedLink’s partnerships represent a compelling business opportunity as the Company is able to offer a physician practice a CCHIT-certified EHR within a bundled practice management and billing service offering all for a fixed fee with no capital outlay for the TotalOffice EHR by the physician.  There are a number of business competitors who are successfully offering this service, and with these partnerships, MedLink will have a more competitive and comprehensive service offering. 

 

Recent Business Developments

 

MedLink in CMS PQRI 2009 EHR Testing Program

 

In April 2009, MedLink and its CCHIT 2008 certified MedLink TotalOffice EHR 3.1 was selected by CMS to participate in the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (“PQRI”) 2009 EHR Testing Program.  PQRI is a voluntary quality reporting program that offers financial incentives to eligible healthcare providers.  The program provides for the payment of up to 2% of the total allowed charges for covered Medicare Physician Fee Schedule services to eligible healthcare professionals who successfully report PQRI quality measures.  PQRI reporting focuses on quality of care measures, such as prevention, chronic care management, acute episode of care management, procedural related care, resource utilization and care coordination.  The 2% PQRI payments are in addition to the 2% e-prescribing incentive available to physicians who utilize e-prescriptions tools, available through MedLink’s TotalOffice EHR.  MedLink is one of 10 healthcare IT vendors, and only 1 of 5 commercial EHR companies selected to test EHR’s as a tool to facilitate simplifying physician reporting under PQRI.

 

MedLink successfully completed the first phase of this pilot program with CMS in June 2009 and Phase 2 in August 2009.  Upon completion of Phase 3, MedLink will become one of a select few EHR systems approved by CMS to submit EHR data directly to CMS.  This ability should positively influence physicians when deciding among competing EHR vendors to select MedLink as PQRI benefits include increased revenue, better quality reporting, improved productivity and enhanced competitive position.  This is another example of how MedLink differentiates itself and puts its technology in the same league as industry leaders.  The CMS Project is significant because of the focus on healthcare cost reduction through technology and preventative care.  MedLink will give physicians who use MedLink’s products the ability to directly report Quality Measures directly to CMS.  This connection allows those physicians to save time and collect money available for such programs much more efficiently.

 

Regional Health Information Organizations (RHIO)

Currently the MedLink TotalOffice EHR and its related services are at various stages of the selection process with New York Metropolitan area RHIOs including the Interboro RHIO, E-Health Network of Long Island RHIO, Primary Care Information Project (PCIP), Long Island Information Exchange (LIPIX), New York Clinical Information Exchange (NYCLIX) and Brooklyn Health Information Exchange (BHIX).  The above referenced RHIO’s have received collectively more than $108 million in HEAL funding and the Company’s current project status vary between the RHIO’s from final contract negotiation, integration into the RHIO Health Information Exchange, pilot programs and proof of concepts.  The Company expects final decisions from certain RHIOs in late August and others in the later part of 2009.   

The New York State RHIOs referenced above are funded through HEAL grants.  It is anticipated that in 2009 HEAL 10 funds will be granted to support EHR adoption across all regions of New York State. The focus is to coordinate clinical care by supporting and connecting care givers through a PCMH model and the implementation of interoperable health record systems that are linked through the Statewide Health Information Network.

HEAL 10 is building on previous funding programs for information technology  and helping to position New York to take maximum advantage of upcoming ARRA stimulus funding. These projects will allow New York to gain critical knowledge and experience in many challenging aspects of implementation including the area of "meaningful use" of information technology that will allow us to better support providers in New York State so they can maximize access to federal stimulus incentive funds.

As a New York based CCHIT Certified 08 Ambulatory EHR Company, MedLink believes that the Company is well positioned to take advantage of the nation’s most aggressive state-wide healthcare IT initiative.

Implementation of Interboro RHIO Contract

The Interboro RHIO is a clinical data exchange serving Queens, northern Brooklyn and surrounding communities in New York City. The Interboro RHIO facilitates the sharing of patient information between authorized healthcare providers at the point of care. Under a $7.7 million New York State HEAL 5 grant, Interboro RHIO will be subsidizing the cost of EHRs for providers within the region.

In early July 2009, MedLink received the draft Master Agreement from Interboro RHIO and met with their executive committee to discuss contract details. The agreed final terms provide that Interboro RHIO will subsidize the MedLink TotalOffice EHR to any healthcare provider in the Interboro service area.

Appointment of Dr. Abha Agrawal to Medical Advisory Board

In July 2009, Abha Agrawal, MD, FACP joined the MedLink Medical Advisory Board. Dr. Agrawal is a nationally recognized leader in healthcare IT and serves on important national and regional organizations including as a Commissioner on the Certification Commission on Healthcare Information Technology and a Board Member on New York Clinical Information Exchange (NYCLIX). She was also elected as the 2008 President of Medical Informatics New York, an association of physician leaders in informatics from hospitals, academia and corporations.  Dr. Agrawal is the Interim Medical Director of Kings County Hospital Center, Brooklyn, NY. Prior to this role, she was the Chief Medical Information Officer of the Central Brooklyn Family Health Network (CBFHN) and the Associate Medical Director of Kings County Hospital. She is also an Associate Professor of Medicine as well as Medical Informatics at SUNY Downstate Medical Center.

 

Under her leadership, Kings County has been awarded a number of quality improvement awards driven by clinical information systems. She was responsible for providing thought leadership as well as hands-on-management of the clinical information systems. Prior to coming to Brooklyn, she was the Informatics Coordinator for the VISN1, an integrated network of hospitals and clinics in six New England states. She was appointed as a clinical faculty at Harvard Medical School and as a research scientist at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

Appointment of Scott D. Musch as Executive Vice President of Corporate Development

MedLink announced in July 2009 the appointment of Scott D. Musch as Executive Vice President of Corporate Development.  This newly created role includes responsibility for the Company’s corporate development activities, including raising capital to fund development, forging new relationships with investors, assisting in business development and corporate governance matters.  Mr. Musch comes to MedLink after 12 years of investment banking experience.  Most recently, Mr. Musch was a Senior Vice President at the healthcare services investment bank of Shattuck Hammond Partners, a division of Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc.  Prior to that, he was a Vice President in the North American Mergers and Acquisitions Department of J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc. 

Value-Added Resellers Program

During the 2nd quarter of 2009, MedLink formalized a program for value-added resellers (“VAR”) of its TotalOffice EHR application.  MedLink views VARs as a cost effective way to build its sales and marketing efforts without incurring the direct cost of hiring a large sales force.  Currently, MedLink has two active VARs, with additional VAR’s under consideration in Puerto Rico, California and Pennsylvania.

 

Clinical Laboratory Management

In April 2009, MedLink signed an agreement with Clinical Laboratory Management, Inc. (“CLM”), a regional ancillary provider of laboratory services in five states – New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland.  Under the terms of the Agreement, CLM will assist their physicians in subsidizing the cost of the MedLink TotalOffice EHR under the guidelines of satisfying the electronic health record Stark exception and the EHR anti-kickback safe harbor. CLM and MedLink will work together to inform physicians on the provisions available under ARRA and the 2003 Medicare Modernization Act (“MMA”).  CLM will also deploy the MedLink EHR Lite to its referring physicians to facilitate the ordering and retrieval of lab results. 

 

Contractual Obligations

 

We have contractual obligations to maintain operating leases for property. The following table summarizes our long-term contractual obligations and commitments as of June 30, 2009:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

 
 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2008.

    

 

The Company's revenues from continuing operations for the period ending June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $115,371 and $130,058, respectively. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to reduced sales of AutoDoc Software, but increased sales in the MedLink Total Office EHR, and integration fees from labs and radiology centers.

 

Expenses for the period ending June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $300,786 and $622,795, respectively.  The decrease in 2009 is primarily attributable to decreased stock-based compensation expenses associated primarily with the Company’s management, consultants and healthcare legal advisors, the hiring of additional customer support personnel, and increased marketing activities.  On a cash basis, the Company is close to meeting its goal of break-even and has an expected goal of profitability on a cash basis by the 4th quarter of 2009.

 

The Company had net losses of $195,450 and $505,110 for the period ending June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in net losses resulted primarily from a decreases in compensation expenses due to decreased stock-based compensation expenses.

 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2007.

 

Our revenues from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $259,970 and $268,519, respectively. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to reduced sales of AutoDoc Software, but increased sales in the MedLink Total Office EHR, and integration fees from labs and radiology centers.

 

Operating Expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $809,006 and $1,455,644, respectively.  The decrease in 2009 is primarily attributable to decreased stock-based compensation expenses associated primarily with the Company’s management, consultants and healthcare legal advisors, the hiring of additional customer support personnel, and increased marketing activities.  On a cash basis, the Company is close to meeting its goal of break-even and has an expected goal of profitability on a cash basis by the 4th quarter of 2009.

 

We had net losses of $582,637 and $1,209,568 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The decrease in net losses resulted primarily from a decreases in compensation expenses due to decreased stock-based compensation expenses.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At June 30, 2009, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $(2,130,104). While the Company believes revenue that will be earned from the sales of the MedLink EHR, integration fees and the sales and support of AutoDoc will soon be sufficient to sustain the Company's operations, there can be no guarantee that this will be the case and that the Company will not have to raise additional capital from investors.  The Company expects to experience significant growth over the next several years.  As a result of the recent federal stimulus bill, over the next two to five years, an increasing number of physicians will be adopting EHR technology.  There will be billions of dollars in public and private initiatives available to facilitate a rapid movement toward adoption.  The federal initiative funds will be available to vendors, such as MedLink, who have demonstrated “meaningful use” (such as under CMS PQRI reporting), complied with state EHR requirements and interoperability requirements (such as with NY RHIOs) and have current year CCHIT certification.  During the 2nd quarter of 2009, MedLink terminated its investment banking engagement of Shattuck Hammond Partners.  The Company’s management made the decision to terminate Shattuck Hammond in conjunction with its decision to bring its capital raising activities internally.  As part of its ongoing business strategy, MedLink continues to raise additional capital to execute on its business opportunities.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We believe there are several accounting policies that are critical to the understanding of our historical and future performance as these policies affect the reported amount of revenues and expenses and other significant areas and involve management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments and estimates. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates and adjusts its estimates and judgments, if necessary. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingencies. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be materially different from those estimates. These critical accounting policies relate to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, capitalized software development costs, stock-based compensation and income taxes. Please refer to Note 1 of the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our significant accounting policies.

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Note 1 to the Consolidated Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, goodwill impairment and long-lived asset impairments. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are derived from licensing of computer software and professional services (including implementation, integration, and training) and the sale of computer hardware. We evaluate revenue recognition on a contract-by-contract basis as the terms of each arrangement vary. The evaluation of our contractual arrangements often requires judgments and estimates that affect the timing of revenue recognized in our statements of operations. Specifically, we may be required to make judgments about:
 

 

whether the fees associated with our software and services are fixed or determinable;
whether collection of our fees is considered probable;
whether professional services are essential to the functionality of the related software;
whether we have the ability to make reasonably dependable estimates in the application of the percentage-of-completion method; and
whether we have verifiable objective evidence of fair value for our software and services.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

In evaluating the collectability of our accounts receivable, we assess a number of factors, including a specific client’s ability to meet its financial obligations to us, as well as general factors such as the length of time the receivables are past due and historical collection experience. Based on these assessments, we record a reserve for specific account balances as well as a reserve based on our historical experience for bad debt to reduce the related receivables to the amount we ultimately expect to collect from clients. If circumstances related to specific clients change, or economic conditions deteriorate such that our past collection experience is no longer relevant, our estimate of the recoverability of our accounts receivable could be further reduced from the levels provided for in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 

Goodwill

SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” classifies intangible assets into three categories: (1) intangible assets with definite lives subject to amortization; (2) intangible assets with indefinite lives not subject to amortization; and (3) goodwill. For intangible assets with definite lives, tests for impairment must be performed if conditions exist that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. For intangible assets with indefinite lives and goodwill, tests for impairment must be performed at least annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that assets might be impaired. Our acquired technology and other intangible assets determined to have definite lives are amortized over their useful lives. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, if conditions exist that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable, we review such intangible assets with definite lives for impairment. Such conditions may include an economic downturn in a market or a change in the assessment of future operations. Goodwill is not amortized. We perform tests for impairment of goodwill annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate it might be impaired. We have only one reporting unit for which all goodwill is assigned. Impairment tests for goodwill include comparing the fair value of the company compared to the comparable carrying value, including goodwill.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

 

The FASB issued a revision of SFAS 123 (“SFAS 123(R)”) that requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the statement of operations. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. In addition, liability awards will be re-measured each reporting period. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. SFAS 123(R) replaces SFAS 123 and is effective January 1, 2007. In 2008, the Company used the black-scholes option pricing model for estimating the fair value of the options granted under the company’s incentive plan.

 
 

Earning Per Share

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, "Earnings per Shares". Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings.

 

Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, (SFAS 161). This statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 161 on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS No. 161 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets,”, which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of intangible assets  under FASB 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.  The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of the expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FASB 141 (revised 2007) “Business Combinations” and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.    The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of FSP FAS 142-3 on its consolidated financial statements.

      EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") made as of this 11th day of May, 2009 by and between MedLink International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, having an office at 1 Roebling Court, Ronkonkoma NY 11779 (hereinafter referred to as "Employer") and Ray Vuono, an individual with a business address c/o the Company(hereinafter referred to as "Employee");

WHEREAS, Employer desires to employ, Employee as Chief Executive Officer of Employer; and 

WHEREAS, Employee is willing to be employed as the Chief Executive Officer of Employer in the manner provided for herein, and to perform the duties of the Chief Executive Officer of Employer upon the terms and conditions herein set forth; 

WHERAS, It is expected that the Company from time to time will consider the possibility of an acquisition by another company or other change of control. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) recognizes that such consideration can be a distraction to Executive and can cause Executive to consider alternative employment opportunities. The Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication and objectivity of Executive, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change of Control.  

WHEREAS, The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to provide Executive with an incentive to continue his or her employment and to motivate Executive to maximize the value of the Company for the benefit of its stockholders.  

WHERAS, The Board believes that it is imperative to provide Executive with certain severance benefits (“Severance Package”) which include twelve (12) months salary, at his then current yearly salary rate, all outstanding stock options not earned or exercised due to the Employee with options vesting immediately and exercisable on the date that is 3 months from the issuance date of the Options unless otherwise stipulated in writing.   

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants herein set forth it is agreed as follows:

Subject to Section 9 and Section 10 below, the term of this Agreement shall be for a period of Sixty (60) months commencing on June 1, 2009 (the Term).  The Term of this Agreement shall be automatically extended for an additional (2) year period, unless either party notifies the other in writing at least ninety (120) days prior to the expiration of the then existing Term of its intention not to extend the Term.  During the Term, Employee shall devote substantially all of his business time and efforts to Employer and its subsidiaries and affiliates.   

3. Duties.  The Employee shall perform those functions generally performed by persons of such title and position, shall attend all meetings of the stockholders and the Board (if invited to attend), shall perform any and all related duties and shall have any and all powers as may be prescribed by resolution of the Board, and shall be available to confer and consult with and advise the officers and directors of Employer at such times that may be required by Employer.  Employee shall report directly and solely to the Board. 

4. Compensation.  

a. (i) Employee shall be paid a base pay of $360,000 per year during the Term of this Agreement.  Employee shall be paid periodically in accordance with the policies of the Employer during the term of this Agreement, but not less than bi-monthly.  During the Term Employee shall be the highest paid employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in terms of monetary compensation.  In the event another employee of Employer or any of its subsidiaries is paid a monetary compensation that is higher than Employee’s, Employee’s monetary compensation shall be adjusted to equal such employee’s monetary compensation plus an additional 5%. 

(ii) Employee is eligible for an annual bonus, if any, which will be determined and paid in accordance with policies set from time to time by the compensation committee of the Board.  

b. At the beginning of each 12 month period during the Term, Employer shall grant Employee 2,000,000 options (“Options”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Company’s Stock Option Plan then in effect, at an exercise price per share equal to the Fair Market Value of the Company’s common stock.  The Options shall be exercisable for a period of seven (7) years from their date of issuance.  The Options shall vest and become exercisable on the date that is 12 months from the issuance date of the Options.

      EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") made as of this 11th day of May, 2009 by and between MedLink International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, having an office at 1 Roebling Court, Ronkonkoma NY 11779 (hereinafter referred to as "Employer") and Konrad Kim, an individual with a business address c/o the Company(hereinafter referred to as "Employee");  

      W I T N E S S E T H: 

WHEREAS, Employer desires to employ, Employee as Chief Technology Officer of Employer; and 

WHEREAS, Employee is willing to be employed as the Chief Technology Financial Officer of Employer in the manner provided for herein, and to perform the duties of the Chief Technology Officer of Employer upon the terms and conditions herein set forth; 

WHERAS, It is expected that the Company from time to time will consider the possibility of an acquisition by another company or other change of control. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) recognizes that such consideration can be a distraction to Executive and can cause Executive to consider alternative employment opportunities. The Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication and objectivity of Executive, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change of Control.  

WHEREAS, The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to provide Executive with an incentive to continue his or her employment and to motivate Executive to maximize the value of the Company for the benefit of its stockholders.  

WHERAS, The Board believes that it is imperative to provide Executive with certain severance benefits (“Severance Package”) which include twelve (12) months salary, at his then current yearly salary rate, all outstanding stock options not earned or exercised due to the Employee with options vesting immediately and exercisable on the date that is 3 months from the issuance date of the Options unless otherwise stipulated in writing.   

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants herein set forth it is agreed as follows: 

1. Employment of Chief Technology Officer of Employer.  Employer hereby employs Employee as Chief Financial Officer of Employer. 

2. Term.   

Subject to Section 9 and Section 10 below, the term of this Agreement shall be for a period of Sixty (60) months commencing on June 1, 2009 (the Term).  The Term of this Agreement shall be automatically extended for an additional (2) year period, unless either party notifies the other in writing at least ninety (120) days prior to the expiration of the then existing Term of its intention not to extend the Term.  During the Term, Employee shall devote substantially all of his business time and efforts to Employer and its subsidiaries and affiliates.   

3. Duties.  The Employee shall perform those functions generally performed by persons of such title and position, shall attend all meetings of the stockholders and the Board (if invited to attend), shall perform any and all related duties and shall have any and all powers as may be prescribed by resolution of the Board, and shall be available to confer and consult with and advise the officers and directors of Employer at such times that may be required by Employer.  Employee shall report directly and solely to the Board. 

4. Compensation.  

a. (i) Employee shall be paid a base pay of $120,000 per year during the Term of this Agreement.  Employee shall be paid periodically in accordance with the policies of the Employer during the term of this Agreement, but not less than bi-monthly.  During the Term Employee shall be the second highest paid employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in terms of monetary compensation.  In the event another employee other than the Chief Executive Officer of Employer or any of its subsidiaries is paid a monetary compensation that is higher than Employee’s, Employee’s monetary compensation shall be adjusted to equal such employee’s monetary compensation plus an additional 4%. 

(ii) Employee is eligible for an annual bonus, if any, which will be determined and paid in accordance with policies set from time to time by the compensation committee of the Board.  

b. At the beginning of each 12 month period during the Term, Employer shall grant Employee 500,000 options (“Options”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Company’s Stock Option Plan then in effect, at an exercise price per share equal to the Fair Market Value of the Company’s common stock.  The Options shall be exercisable for a period of seven (7) years from their date of issuance.  The Options shall vest and become exercisable on the date that is 12 months from the issuance date of the Options. 

c. Employer shall include Employee in its health insurance program, payment of premiums in accordance with company policy.  

d.  Employee shall receive an automobile allowance in the amount of $1000.00 per month.

    

e.  Employee shall have the right to participate in any other employee benefit plans established by Employer. 

f. (i) In the event of a "Change of Control" whereby:  

(A) A person (other than a person who is an officer or a Director of Employer on the effective date hereof), including a "group" as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, after execution of this Agreement becomes, or obtains the right to become, the beneficial owner of Employer securities having 50% or more of the combined voting power of then outstanding securities of the Employer that may be cast for the election of directors of the Employer;  

(B) At any time, a majority of the Board-nominated slate of candidates for the Board is not elected;  

(C) Employer consummates a merger in which it is not the surviving entity;  

(D) Substantially all Employer's assets are sold; or

In the event Employee owns or is entitled to receive any unregistered securities of Employer, then Employer shall use its best efforts to effect the registration of all such securities as soon as practicable, but no later than 120 days after the Change of Control; provided, however, that such period may be extended or delayed by Employer for one period of up to 60 days if, upon the advice of counsel at the time such registration is required to be filed, or at the time Employer is required to exercise its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, such delay is advisable and in the best interests of Employer because of the existence of non-public material information, or to allow Employer to complete any pending audit of its financial statements.  

5.  Expenses.  Employee shall be reimbursed for all of his actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of his duties hereunder, provided such expenses are acceptable to Employer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, for business related travel and entertainment expenses, and that Employee shall submit to Employer detailed receipts, according to IRS guidelines, with respect thereto. 

6. Vacation. Employee shall be entitled to receive four (4) weeks paid vacation time during each year of employment with dates agreed upon by Employer.

In the event of separation of employment, for any reason, vacation time accrued and not used, in that calendar year, shall be paid at the salary rate of Employee in effect at the time of employment separation. 

7. Secrecy.  At no time shall Employee disclose to anyone any confidential or secret information (not already constituting information available to the public) concerning (a) internal affairs or proprietary business operations of Employer or (b) any trade secrets, new product developments, patents, programs or programming, especially unique processes or methods. 

8.  Covenant Not to Compete.

The registrant’s other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:

    (a) Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;
