Each prospective investor is urged to read this Prospectus in its entirety. The Company I-Link Incorporated (formerly known as Medcross, Inc.), a Florida corporation (the "Company") was formed in 1983. On February 23, 1996, the Company acquired (the "I-Link Acquisition") I-Link Worldwide Inc., a Utah corporation (subsequently renamed I-Link Systems, Inc.), and effective January 1, 1997, the Company acquired (the "FTI Acquisition") Family Telecommunications Incorporated, a Utah corporation (subsequently renamed I-Link Communications, Inc., and for clarity and ease of reference, sometimes referred to herein as "FTI"). In June 1997, the Company formed its marketing subsidiary, I-Link Worldwide, LLC. These three subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as "I-Link." See "The Company." I-Link is in the business of delivering communications capabilities to business and residential customers via both a proprietary data communication network, established by I-Link, that operates in the same manner as the Internet (the "I-Link Intranet") and existing switched telecommunications networks. I-Link seeks to provide communications solutions and enhanced capabilities to users of traditional telecommunications services, at substantial cost savings through utilization of the I-Link Intranet and other existing data communications networks, as well as through volume purchasing of capacity on traditional switched telecommunications networks. I-Link has developed patent-pending technology and has deployed a national network infrastructure of communications equipment and dedicated lines that enables it to route traditional telecommunications services over the I-Link Intranet in a manner that is transparent to the user, utilizing the user's existing telecommunications equipment. With its acquisition of FTI, a regional long-distance telecommunications carrier with nationwide delivery of telecommunications services over traditional switched telecommunications networks, the Company in January 1997 launched its marketing efforts and began to obtain customers for its long-distance telecommunications services through I-Link. In June 1997, the Company launched its multi-level sales program through its wholly-owned subsidiary, I-Link Worldwide, LLC, to market the I-Link communications services to the residential and small business markets. Through its marketing activities and through strategic acquisitions of existing customer bases, I-Link will aggressively seek to enlarge its overall customer base. The I-Link services will initially be delivered across existing switched telecommunications networks; then, as I-Link reaches targeted customer-base size in given geographic areas, customer traffic in those areas will be moved from the traditional switched telecommunications networks to the network of dedicated lines I-Link has established and over which its proprietary technology is deployed (the I-Link Intranet). The move from the traditional switched telecommunications network to the I-Link Intranet is transparent to the customer and will result in a significant reduction in the cost of delivering the services, both increasing profitability and permitting I-Link to offer increased savings to its customers, as well as differentiating I-Link and its services in a highly commoditized market. I-Link believes this strategy of building customer bases in geographic areas on traditional switched networks and transitioning the traffic to the I-Link Intranet as the size of the customer base increases will result in the most cost effective nationwide deployment of the I-Link Intranet. For a discussion of the recent acquisition of MiBridge, Inc. see "The Company" and "Recent Transactions." The Company is also an owner and operator of medical diagnostic and therapeutic facilities and equipment including MRI, kidney lithotripsy, and ultrasound. The Company is also a joint venture partner with China National Equipment and Supplies Import and Export Shenyang Corporation, which exports medical equipment to China. See "Business of the Medical Imaging Division." The Company's corporate offices are located at 13751 S. Wadsworth Park Drive, Suite 200, Draper, Utah 84020; telephone: (801) 576-5000. 4 Securities Offered Each share of Common Stock of the Company comprising the Settlement Shares, the Shares, the Conversion Shares, the Commonwealth Shares, the Babcock Shares, the Cook Shares, the E&M Shares, the Mandarino Shares and the Hardy Group Shares has a par value of $.007 and entitles the holder thereof to equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available therefor when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, to share ratably in all of the assets of the Company available for distribution to holders of Common Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company and to have one non-cumulative vote per share upon all matters which stockholders may vote at all meetings of stockholders.

The Company will receive the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Settlement Warrants, the Commonwealth Warrants, the Cook Option, the E&M Warrants, the Mandarino Warrants and the Hardy Group Warrants, which proceeds will be used for working capital purposes. See "Use of Proceeds." RISK FACTORS THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN ARE SPECULATIVE IN NATURE AND INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. SUCH SECURITIES SHOULD BE PURCHASED ONLY BY PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS WHO CAN AFFORD TO LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT. THEREFORE, EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD, PRIOR TO PURCHASE, CONSIDER VERY CAREFULLY THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS, AS WELL AS ALL OF THE OTHER INFORMATION SET FORTH ELSEWHERE HEREIN AND IN THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE NOTES THERETO. 7 Ongoing Capital Requirements; Need to Raise Additional Financing The conduct of the Company's business and the continued implementation of its business plans and operations (including those of I-Link) will require the availability of additional funds in the future. While the Company currently has no material commitments for capital or other expenditures, other than as set forth herein, it is the Company's intention to continue to implement the growth of its business and expand its operations (including those of I-Link). The Company will require additional financing in order to fund the cash flow operating deficit of I-Link, to expand its business and to discharge outstanding indebtedness. If needed, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully negotiate or obtain additional financing. Nor can there be any assurance that, if available, such financing will be on terms favorable or acceptable to the Company or its securityholders. The Company has a line of credit (the "Line of Credit") with First Union National Bank ("FUNB"). As of June 30, 1997, there was $240,000 outstanding thereunder. The Company had been for months in violation of certain financial covenants contained in the loan agreement governing the Line of Credit, including covenants relating to: (i) cash balances; (ii) consolidated equity; (iii) debt-to-equity ratios; and (iv) cash flow coverage ratios. However, FUNB waived such non-compliance through June 30, 1996. The Company agreed to secure alternative financing to repay amounts outstanding under the Line of Credit by June 30, 1996. The Company was unable to secure such financing, so that the Company is obligated to repay amounts outstanding under the Line of Credit in increments of $10,000 per month commencing July 1, 1996, pursuant to the Company's agreement with FUNB, subject to negotiation of the terms of a balloon payment. The Company is currently in violation of cash flow coverage ratios and past days sales on accounts receivable covenants. In June 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with Winter Harbor, L.L.C. pursuant to which it borrowed $2,000,000 at an annual interest rate of prime plus 2%. In August 1997, such agreement was amended and the Company borrowed an additional $3,000,000 on similar terms. Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of September 30, 1997, the Company closed an equity investment by Winter Harbor on October 10, 1997 whereby Winter Harbor purchased an aggregate of 4,400 shares of Series M Preferred Stock, in consideration of $12,100,000, paid by a combination of cash and the exchange of outstanding indebtedness and accrued interest. See "Recent Transactions-Transactions With Winter Harbor, L.L.C.; Series M Preferred Stock." In the event that the Company needs additional financing, the absence thereof or the lack of availability thereof on favorable terms could have a material adverse impact on the Company. Negative Effect of Amortization Expense on Financial Results The excess of fair market value of the shares issued in the I-Link, FTI and MiBridge Acquisitions over the fair value of the net tangible assets purchased was recorded by the Company as intangible assets. Subsequently, certain related amortization expense was also realized. Further, the Company recorded acquired in-process research and development expense of $14,577,942 in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. The Company anticipates recording approximately $4,240,000 of in-process research and development in the third quarter of 1997, which is related to the Company's acquisition of MiBridge. Reliance on Key Personnel The Company's operations including those of I-Link are dependent upon the continued efforts and employment of its senior management. The officers of the Company have the principal responsibility for management of the Company and are responsible for making recommendations to the Board of Directors which exercises final authority over business decisions. While the Company and I-Link have entered into employment agreements with senior management, the loss of the services of any of the officers or directors could be detrimental to the Company and I-Link. 8 Furthermore, the future performance of I-Link, FTI and MiBridge depends in significant part upon their ability to attract and retain key technical, systems and sales personnel, most of whom are not bound by an employment agreement. Competition for such personnel is intense and there can be no assurance that I-Link will be able to retain its key technical, systems and sales personnel or that it will be able to attract highly qualified personnel in the future. Growth Strategy and Acquisition Activities The Company's ability to achieve planned levels of growth and the timing thereof will be materially impacted by its ability to acquire business communication companies and related businesses. The Company intends to acquire such additional companies with cash and equity securities such as common stock or preferred stock, and/or debt instruments. To the extent that the Company issues equity securities in connection with acquisitions, the equity interest of its then current stockholders will be diluted. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to acquire such additional companies or that it will be able to use its securities in connection with such purchases or that it will have the necessary capital resources to purchase such companies. Although the Company believes that its acquisition strategy will make it attractive to acquisition candidates, there can be no assurance that the Company will successfully implement its acquisition program. See "The Company." Potential Liability in Connection with Acquisitions The Company could become subject to liabilities arising from any acquisition which it has effected or may hereafter effect in the event that the Company assumes unknown or contingent liabilities or in the event that such liabilities are imposed on the Company under theories of successor liability. If the Company becomes subject to such a liability of sufficient magnitude, such liability could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. See "The Company." Expectation of Growth The Company plans to expand I-Link's network, which expansion will require additional capital expenditures. There is no assurance that such capital will be available or that it will be available on terms beneficial to the Company. Moreover, the Company's ability to effectively achieve growth will require it to implement and improve operational, financial and management information systems and to train, motivate and manage employees, as well as to successfully market its products and services. These demands require the addition of new management personnel and the development of additional expertise by existing management. Failure to enhance customer support resources adequately to support increases in subscribers, or to adequately expand and enhance telecommunications infrastructure, may adversely affect the Company's ability to successfully conduct I-Link's business in the future. There can be no assurance that customer support or other resources will be sufficient to achieve future growth or that the Company will be able to implement in whole or in part the planned expansion. Any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company's future operating results. See "Business of I-Link." I-Link Business Competition The market for business communications services is extremely competitive. The Company believes that its ability to compete in I-Link's business successfully will depend upon a number of factors, including the pricing policies of competitors and suppliers; the capacity, reliability, availability and security of I-Link's Intranet infrastructure; market presence and channel development; the timing of introductions of new products and services into the industry; ease of access to and navigation of the Internet or other such Data Communication Networks; the Company's ability in the future to support existing and emerging industry standards; the Company's ability to balance network demand with the fixed expenses associated with network capacity; and industry and general economic trends. While the Company believes there is currently no competitor in the North American market providing the same type of capabilities in the same manner as I-Link will offer using the I-Link Intranet, there are many companies 9 that offer business communications services, and therefore compete with the Company at some level. These range from large telecommunications companies and carriers such as AT&T, MCI, Sprint and LDDS, to smaller, regional resellers of telephone line access. These companies, as well as others, including manufacturers of hardware and software used in the business communications industry, could in the future develop products and services that could compete with those of the Company on a more direct basis. These entities are far better capitalized than the Company and control significant market share in their respective industry segments. In addition, there may be other businesses that are attempting to introduce products similar to the Company's for the transmission of business information over the Internet. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully compete with these market participants. See "Business of I-Link." Dependence on Suppliers I-Link relies on other companies to provide data communications capacity via leased telecommunications lines. A significant portion of the leased telecommunications lines used by I-Link are currently provided by AT&T. Further, the Company uses MCI for the supply of inbound and outbound telephone services. As of June 30, 1997, the Company owed AT&T $826,000 and MCI approximately $4,900,000. If AT&T or MCI are unable or unwilling to provide or expand their current levels of service to the Company in the future, the Company's operations could be materially adversely affected. Moreover, there are significant billing disputes between the Company and MCI. Management has established reserves in connection with the same that it views to be adequate. There can be no assurance that the disputes will be resolved in favor of the Company, or that the dollar amount of any adverse resolution would be fully covered by such reserves. Although leased telecommunications lines are available from several alternative suppliers, there can be no assurance that the Company could obtain substitute services from other providers at reasonable or comparable prices or in a timely fashion. The Company is also subject to risks relating to potential disruptions in such telecommunications services. No assurance can be given that significant interruptions of telecommunications services to the Company will not occur in the future. See "Business of I-Link--I-Link's Contractual Obligations." I-Link is also dependent on certain third party suppliers of hardware components. Although I-Link currently attempts to maintain a minimum of two vendors for each required product, certain components used by I-Link in providing networking services are currently acquired from only one source. I-Link may from time to time experience delays in the receipt of certain hardware components. A failure by a supplier to deliver quality products on a timely basis, or the inability to develop alternative sources if and as required, could result in delays which could materially adversely affect the Company's ability to integrate, conduct and implement expansion of I-Link's business. Software and Service Development; Technological Change The Company's success in I-Link's business is highly dependent upon its ability to develop new software and services that meet changing customer requirements. The market for I-Link's services is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, emerging competition and frequent new software and service introductions. There can be no assurance that the Company can successfully identify new service opportunities and develop and bring new software and services to the market in a timely manner, or that software, services or technologies developed by others will not render I-Link's software, services or technologies noncompetitive or obsolete in the future. The Company's pursuit of technological advances may require substantial time and expense, and there can be no assurance that the Company will succeed in adapting the services currently provided by I-Link to alternate access devices and conduits. Dependence on Network Infrastructure; Risk of System Failure; Security Risks Key to the quality of I-Link services and the future success of the Company is the capacity, reliability and security of its network infrastructure to support the services. The Company must expand and adapt network infrastructure as the number of users and the amount of information they wish to transfer increases and to meet changing customer requirements. The expansion and adaptation of the network infrastructure will require substantial financial, operational and management resources. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able 10 to expand or adapt the network infrastructure to meet additional demand or subscribers' changing requirements on a timely basis, at a commercially reasonable cost, or at all, or that the Company will be able to deploy successfully the contemplated network expansion. Any failure of the Company to expand the network infrastructure, as needed, on a timely basis or to adapt to changing subscriber requirements or evolving industry standards could have a material adverse effect on the Company's overall business, financial condition and results of operations in the future. New and Uncertain Business I-Link is a young business enterprise that is subject to all of the risks that present themselves to early stage companies, including but not limited to limited infrastructure, managerial resources, capitalization and market share. There can be no assurance that I-Link will be able to successfully compete with larger, more mature, better capitalized enterprises. In order to realize subscriber growth, the Company must be able to replace terminating subscribers and attract additional subscribers. However, the sales and marketing expenses and subscriber acquisition costs associated with attracting new subscribers are substantial. Accordingly, the Company's ability to improve operating margins will depend in part on the ability to retain subscribers. The Company plans to invest significant resources in the telecommunications infrastructure, customer support resources, sales and marketing expenses and subscriber acquisition costs. There can be no assurance that the Company's future efforts in this area will improve subscriber retention. Since the market for the Company's services is new and the utility of available services is not well understood by new and potential subscribers, it is not possible to predict future subscriber retention rates. See "Business of I-Link." Certain Related Party Transactions During the first quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company received advances totaling $218,000 from Mortgage Network International ("MNI"). Henry Y.L. Toh, a director of the Company, has management control over MNI. Such advances were previously payable upon demand. Subsequent to the extension of such advances, the Board of Directors approved delivery of a promissory note representing the aggregate amount of such advances, which promissory note matured by its terms on October 1, 1995 and bears interest at one percent over the prime rate of interest established by Southwest Bank of Texas, N.A. Subsequently, the Company and MNI modified the Note such that the principal amount due of $175,682 (as of December 31, 1996) was to be discharged as follows: (i) a principal payment of $88,000 originally due December 31, 1996 will be paid in 21 equal monthly payments of approximately $4,600 beginning March 10, 1997; and (ii) the remaining principal amount of $87,682 plus interest at 10.5% per annum will be paid at the rate of $4,200 per month. The Company is a party to a consulting agreement for the period beginning January 1, 1996 and ending December 31, 1998 with Windy City, Inc. Joel Kanter, a director of the Company until July 30, 1996, is the President and a director of Windy City, Inc. Pursuant to such agreement, Windy City, Inc. was engaged to provide such consulting services as the Company may request in exchange for compensation at the rate of $6,250 per calendar quarter. I-Link was a party to a 12-month consulting agreement with Benchmark, dated August 10, 1995 pursuant to which I-Link was obligated to pay $6,000 per month to Benchmark for consulting services rendered. Benchmark is also party to certain options to purchase shares of Common Stock owned by Four M and to options to purchase shares of Common Stock owned by R. Huston Babcock. Commonwealth and certain affiliates and associates of Commonwealth purchased certain shares of Common Stock from an affiliate of the Company, purchased shares of Class C Preferred Stock from the Company and were granted certain options by Four M. T6-G Limited Partnership and I-Link entered into a consulting agreement for two years commencing upon the successful completion of at least $4,000,000 in funding. The agreement required the payment of a total of $70,000 payable monthly over 24 months. In addition, I-Link discharged its promissory note to T6-G Limited Partnership by the payment of $300,000 from the proceeds of the Class C Offering, which sums were designated by T6-G Limited Partnership for the purchase of Class C Preferred Stock. In August 1996, John Edwards and William H. Flury loaned I-Link $125,000 and $100,000, respectively, which sums were repaid from the proceeds of the Class C Offering together with original issue discounts of $6,250 and $5,000, respectively. In addition, the Company agreed to issue warrants to purchase 25,000 and 5,000 shares to Mr. Edwards and to Mr. Flury exercisable at $4.87 and $2.50 per share, respectively. In September 1996, the Company advanced the sum of $685,000 to FTI to be used by FTI to 11 acquire from Harris Corporation certain items of telecommunications switches known as "Harris switches." Effective January 1, 1997, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of FTI. The majority owner of FTI is Robert W. Edwards, Jr., brother of John Edwards, the Company's Chairman, President and CEO. In connection with the execution of the Settlement Agreement, the Settlement Warrant was purchased by a group of investors which includes David E. Hardy and Karl S. Ryser, Jr., both of whom are officers of the Company (the "Hardy Group"), in consideration for payment by the Hardy Group of six hundred thousand dollars ($600,000) to JW Charles in satisfaction of the amounts owed to JW Charles under the Settlement Agreement. As additional compensation for the Hardy Group's commitment to purchase the Settlement Warrant, the Company, among other things, issued to the Hardy Group new warrants to purchase an aggregate of 175,000 shares of Common Stock. See "The Company," "1996 Offerings" and "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." Dependence on Telecommunications Service Providers AT&T and MCI are currently the sole providers of the long-distance telecommunications services that the Company resells to its customers. The future business prospects of the Company are particularly dependent on the continuous and reliable use of AT&T and MCI's networks. Changes in tariffs, regulations, or policies by AT&T and MCI may adversely affect the Company's ability to continue to offer long-distance service on what it considers to be commercially reasonable or profitable terms. See "Business of I-Link." Potential Adverse Effects of Rate Changes I-Link bills its customers for the various long-distance telecommunications services used by such customers. The total billing to each customer is generally less than the telephone charges for the same long-distance service that the customer would pay to a primary seller of such services, such as AT&T or MCI. I-Link's ability to undersell such primary seller arises as a result of the volume discount offered to I-Link in accordance with the terms of its contract with AT&T and MCI. The Company believes I-Link's lower customer bills is one of the most important factors in its ability to attract and retain customers. Therefore, narrowing of the differential between the rates charged to the Company's customers and the cost of the bulk-rate long-distance telecommunications services purchased by I-Link for resale to such customers would have a significant adverse effect on I-Link. To the extent this differential decreases, the savings I-Link is able to obtain for its customers would decrease and I-Link would lose customers and face increased difficulty in attracting new customers, and the Company's operating results would also be adversely affected. See "Business of I-Link." Competition in the Switched Network Market I-Link's competition in the switched network market is all other long-distance providers. Due to the number of regional and local carriers, the number of competitors varies by geographic region. However, the principal competition is the big four carriers, AT&T, MCI, Sprint, LDDS/WorldCom, and local regional Bell companies. With these carriers controlling the majority of the market share throughout the U.S., the majority of the potential customers to which I-Link's products and services are marketed to are customers of one of these carriers. The competitive advantages these four largest carriers have are primarily pervasive nationwide networks, name recognition, operating histories, and substantial advertising resources. There can be no assurance that I-Link will be able to successfully compete with such carriers. See "Business of I-Link." Failure to Meet AT&T and MCI Minimum Purchase Requirements; Contingent Liabilities The Company has entered into contract tariffs with AT&T and MCI for both outbound and inbound long-distance service. In July 1995, the Company signed a five-year negotiated contract tariff with AT&T, effective September 1, 1995, for the supply of inbound and outbound telephone service with volume discounts which obligated the Company for a minimum quarterly purchase requirement of $1,500,000. Also included within the contract tariff is a requirement that a specified minimum proportion of each quarter's usage relate to "new business" (i.e., currently non-AT&T business). The contract provides that failure to achieve the new minimum will require payment of the 12 shortfall by the Company. Under the contract tariff, the Company is obligated to make payments equal to its minimum purchase requirements for the outstanding term of the agreement if there is an early termination of the plan. The Company is currently negotiating a new contract tariff with AT&T under which new pricing and new minimum purchase requirements are to be established. In February 1996, the Company signed a four-year negotiated contract with MCI for the supply of inbound and outbound telephone service with MCI with volume discounts in return for minimum annual purchase requirements rising to $4,500,000 per quarter after the first 15 months of service under the contract. Failure to achieve the minimum will require shortfall payments by the Company. There is a dispute between the Company and MCI as to whether the Company is currently satisfying such commitments. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve the required levels of sales. Reliance on Independent Sales Agents The Company markets its services through independent sales representatives and independent marketing organizations. The independent marketing organizations presently account for approximately 80% of the Company's long-distance sales volume. Should the services of one or more of these independent marketers be interrupted or become unavailable to the Company, and in the event that the Company is unable to promptly replace such marketing efforts, the financial results of the Company could be adversely affected. See "Business--Marketing and Sales." Technological Change and New Services The telecommunications industry has been characterized by steady technological change, frequent new service introductions and evolving industry standards. The impact of such changes in service and standards on the Company has been limited due to its selling only MCI long-distance services. The Company believes that its future success will depend in part on its ability to anticipate such changes and to offer on a timely basis market responsive services that meet these evolving industry standards, especially if at some future time the Company should cease selling MCI service. There can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient resources to introduce new services that would satisfy an expanded range of customer needs. Customer Attrition The Company believes that a high level of customer attrition is common in the direct dial, long-distance industry. Although the level of attrition experienced by I-Link lies within the range anticipated in its budgets, I-Link does not have a long history of operations and accordingly, the level of customer attrition experienced to date may not be indicative of future attrition levels. In addition, there can be no assurance that any steps taken by I-Link to counter increased customer attrition will be successful. Dependence Upon Third Party Transmission Facilities The future profitability of the Company is based upon its ability to transmit its customers' long distance telephone calls on a cost effective basis over transmission facilities leased from facilities based long distance carriers that compete with the Company. The Company owns only a limited portion of the transmission facilities needed to complete all of its customers' long distance telephone calls. Accordingly, the Company is vulnerable to changes in its lease arrangements and the Company's direct dial long distance telephone business and the profitability thereof is dependent upon its ability to enter into cost effective lease arrangements, both long and short term, with facilities based carriers for the transmission of calls. While the Company believes that it has ample access to transmission facilities at attractive rates and expects to continue to have such access, there can be no assurance that leased capacity will continue to be available at cost-effective rates. 13 Equipment Failures; Natural Disaster Although the Company carries "commercial property/business interruption" insurance, such insurance does not include coverage of certain natural disasters. A major equipment failure or a natural disaster affecting any one of the Company's switching facilities could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations. Government Regulation Certain of the Company's operations are subject to regulation by the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Communications Act"). In addition, certain of the Company's businesses are subject to regulation by state public utility or public service commissions. Changes in the regulation of, or the enactment or changes in interpretation of legislation affecting, the Company's operations could have a material adverse effect on the Company and the value of the Common Stock. Recently, the Federal Government enacted the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "Telecommunications Act"), which, among other things, allows the Regional Bell Operating Companies ("RBOCs") and others to enter the long distance business. Entry of the RBOCs or other entities, such as electric utilities and cable television companies, into the long-distance business may have a negative impact on the Company or its customers. The Company anticipates that certain of such entrants will be strong competitors because, among other reasons, they may enjoy one or more of the following advantages: they may (i) be well capitalized; (ii) already have substantial end user customer bases; or (iii) enjoy cost advantages relating to local loops and access charges. The introduction of additional strong competitors into the switched long-distance business would mean that the Company would face substantially increased competition. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company and the value of the Common Stock. In addition, the Telecommunications Act provides that state proceedings may in certain instances determine access charges the Company is required to pay to the local exchange carriers. No assurance can be given that such proceedings will not result in increases in such rates. Such increases could have a material adverse effect on the Company or its customers and on the value of the Common Stock. See "Business of I-Link - Government Regulation." FTI's activities are regulated by the public utility commissions of the various states in which the Company operates. Also, decisions by the FCC with respect to the permissible business activities or pricing practices may have an adverse impact on FTI's operations. FTI could be subject to complaints seeking damages and other relief filed by parties claiming to be harmed by FTI's failure to file tariffs. Moreover, any significant change in regulations by state governmental agencies could significantly increase FTI's costs or otherwise have an adverse impact on FTI's activities and on its expansion efforts. The FCC has recently taken or is currently considering action on various proposals, including proposals relating to interstate access transport services, public filing of rates, proprietary calling cards and billed party preference. Additionally, legislation has recently been enacted in Congress further liberalizing the telecommunications industry, specifically by permitting the Bell Operating Companies (BOCs) to provide service in the long-distance market and allowing the long-distance carriers such as AT&T, MCI and the Company into the local markets. Although safeguards have been inserted into the legislation to ensure fair competition, there can be no assurance that the entry of the BOCs into the long-distance market will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. See "Business of I-Link-Regulation." Government Regulation of Internet-Related Business I-Link's intranet services are not currently subject to direct regulation by the FCC or any other agency, other than regulations applicable to businesses generally. Changes in the regulatory environment relating to the Internet access industry, including regulatory changes which directly or indirectly affect telecommunication costs or increase the likelihood or scope of competition from regional telephone companies or others, could have an adverse effect on the Company's business. The Company cannot predict the impact, if any, that future regulation or regulatory changes may have on its or I-Link's business. 14 Government Regulation of Medical Business Various aspects of the Company's current medical business are subject to government regulations at the federal, state and local level. Failure to comply with existing regulations or the enactment of restrictive laws or regulations could impair the Company's operations. While the Company believes that its operations comply with applicable regulations, the Company has not sought or received interpretive rulings to that effect. Additionally, there can be no assurance that subsequent laws, subsequent changes in present laws or interpretations of such laws will not adversely affect the Company's operations. The Company employs radiologic technologists in its operations, each of whom must be licensed by the appropriate state authority. Many states have a requirement known as a Certificate of Need ("CON") requirement that impedes a company's ability to operate without governmental approval. To the extent that medical facilities rely on Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement for the services rendered by the Company to their patients, changes in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement regulations and policies affect the Company. During the past several years, there has been increasing pressure from federal and state regulatory and legislative bodies to prevent physicians from referring patients to diagnostic imaging facilities in which they have an ownership interest. Many prominent physicians, legislators, medical ethicists, and others feel that ownership of imaging facilities can impair a physician's judgment about the need for a diagnostic test. Studies have shown that physicians who have ownership interests in imaging facilities tend to refer more patients for diagnostic testing than physicians who have no ownership interest. The above-described regulations and dynamics may adversely affect the revenue per scan obtained by the Company as well as the number of scans performed. On the federal level, a physician self-referral bill passed Congress and was signed into law by President Clinton in 1993. The self-referral law bans physicians from referring Medicare patients to imaging and almost any other type of diagnostic or therapeutic outpatient medical facility in which they have ownership or financial interests, effective January 1, 1995. Many states, including Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, New York and New Jersey, have passed laws regarding physician self referral. Some simply require disclosure of ownership, while others restrict physicians from referring to facilities in which they have any ownership interest. The legislature of the State of Florida enacted the Patient Self- Referral Act of 1992, effective April 8, 1992 (the "Florida SRA"). Such act prohibits physician self-referral to health care entities in which such physicians have financial interests, effective October 1, 1994. Management believes these legislative and regulatory actions have had no material adverse effect upon the Company's operations to date. However, the Florida SRA also imposes a fee cap, effective July 1, 1992, limiting the technical and professional fees of all providers of "clinical laboratory services, physical therapy services, comprehensive rehabilitative services, diagnostic imaging services, and radiation therapy services" to no more than 115% of the Medicare limiting charge for non-participating physicians. The statute specifically excludes hospitals and physician group practices from the fee cap provision and does not apply to patients eligible for Medicaid or Medicare reimbursement. Several lawsuits have been filed by various providers against the State of Florida in both federal and state court alleging, among other things, that the fee cap provision violates the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution and seeking to enjoin the State of Florida from enforcing the fee cap provision. In July 1992, the United States District Court for Northern District of Florida granted a permanent injunction in a case entitled Panama City Medical Center, Ltd., et. al vs. Robert B. Williams, et. al (File No. 92- 40198-WS). The ultrasound services provided by the Company are related specifically to urology. Approximately 80% of the Company's patients are covered by Medicare. Therefore, changes in Medicare reimbursement rules and regulations may have a significant impact on the profitability of the Company's ultrasound operations. Reimbursement rates for procedures are set annually. The 1996 reimbursement rates for the procedures primarily performed by the Company were increased from between 1.7% to 2.1% over 1995's reimbursement rates. 15 Health Care Industry Competition It is common for hospitals, physicians, physician groups, and others in the health care field to form ventures to own and operate medical equipment. The Company is in competition with such groups. There are many companies offering general business consulting services. The companies that may compete with the Company in the future and that currently offer consulting services may be larger and have far greater financial resources than the Company. Also, if the cost of a particular medical device is reduced and the utilization by physicians increases, more hospitals will be able to afford to acquire their own equipment rather than receive service on a shared basis. See "Business of the Medical Imaging Division." New Medical Technology and Obsolescence The medical equipment field is generally characterized by rapidly changing technology. Early obsolescence of expensive equipment or technological change could have an adverse effect on the Company. Therefore, the cost of MRI systems and other medical equipment may be significantly lower in the future, allowing persons who purchase equipment in the future to charge less for similar services and therefore compete on a favorable basis. Exposure to Tort Liability in Medical Industry The Company operates medical equipment used to perform procedures on or diagnose disease in patients. The Company is exposed to tort liability in the event of harm to patients due to the negligence of the Company, its agents, and employees. The Company currently maintains professional liability insurance coverage in the amount of $1,000,000. The Company also maintains an umbrella policy covering, among other things, workers' compensation, general, and automobile liability in an amount of $9,000,000 in coverage. Although the Company has never had a liability claim filed against it, any claims could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to maintain such insurance coverage in the future. The Company acts as general partner of a limited partnership controlled by the Company that directly owns, controls and operates the Company's medical facilities. As such, the Company is exposed to general liability for torts committed by such partnership and its agents and employees and for contracts entered into by those partnerships. In addition, to the extent that the Company is a general partner of limited partnerships that offer and sell limited partner interests, the Company is exposed to liability under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and various state securities laws. Dilution Holders of Common Stock of the Company will suffer significant dilution in the event that any of the Company's outstanding convertible securities, including outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, warrants and options are converted by the holders thereof. See "Description of Securities" and "Recent Transactions." Additional dilution may result in the event of the exercise of warrants and options, including options granted pursuant to the Company's stock option and purchase plans and employment agreements. Dividends The Company has not paid any dividends on any of its outstanding securities to date and, other than as set forth herein, does not anticipate paying any dividends on its securities in the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 1997, accrued and unpaid dividends on all shares of Preferred Stock totaled $885,522. The Company currently intends to retain all working capital and earnings, if any, to finance the operations of its businesses and to expand its businesses. Dividends on the Class C Preferred Stock will be payable when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, to the extent permissible under the Florida Business Corporation Act, to the holders of the Class C Preferred Stock in cash or, at the option of the Company as determined by the Board of Directors, in shares of Common Stock. 16 Dividends may be paid in shares of Common Stock only if such shares have been registered under the Securities Act. In connection with the Winter Harbor equity investment in the Company, the Company will issue an aggregate of 4,400 shares of a new series of preferred stock ("Series M Preferred Stock"). The Series M Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative dividends in the amount of 10% per annum. The Company's future cash flow and legal capital may be insufficient to enable the Company to pay dividends. See "Description of Securities-Preferred Stock" and "Recent Transactions--Transactions With Winter Harbor, L.L.C.; Series M Preferred Stock." Future Issuances of Stock by the Company; Potential Anti-Takeover Effect The Company has authorized capital stock of 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.007 par value per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $10.00 par value per share (the "Preferred Stock"). As of September 30, 1997, there were 12,180,165 shares of Common Stock and 7,500 shares of Class B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, 218,018 shares of Class C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding and an additional 11,950 shares of Class C Preferred Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes. One thousand shares of Series D Preferred Stock were issued in connection with the MiBridge Acquisition and 4,400 shares of Series M Preferred Stock were issued in connection with the Winter Harbor Investment. In fiscal 1996, 200,000 shares of Class A Preferred Stock were converted into 4,894,461 shares of Common Stock and a portion of the principal of the 10% Notes was converted into 350,000 shares of Common Stock. As of September 30, 1997, 21,982 shares of Class C Preferred Stock have been converteded into 527,568 shares of Common Stock. Although, other than as disclosed herein, there are no present plans, agreements or undertakings with respect to the Company's issuance of any shares of stock or related convertible securities, the issuance of any of such securities by the Company could have anti-takeover effects insofar as such securities could be used as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. Such issuance could also dilute the public ownership of the Company. Inasmuch as the Company may, in the future, issue authorized shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock without prior stockholder approval, there may be substantial dilution to the interests of the Company's stockholders. However, given that the Company is authorized to issue more stock, there can be no assurance that the Company will not do so. In addition, a stockholder's pro rata ownership interest in the Company may be reduced to the extent of the issuance and/or exercise of any options or warrants relating to the Common Stock or Preferred Stock. The issuance of additional shares of Common Stock may have the effect of rendering more difficult or discouraging an acquisition or change in control of the Company. See "Description of Securities." For information relating to Series M Preferred Stock issued to Winter Harbor, see "Recent Transactions--Transactions With Winter Harbor, L.L.C.; Series M Preferred Stock." Future Sales of Stock by Stockholders As of September 30, 1997, approximately 8,575,800 shares of Common Stock, all of the shares of Class B Preferred Stock, and all of the shares of Class C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding were "restricted securities" as that term is defined under the Securities Act and in the future may only be sold in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or pursuant to an effective registration statement. Rule 144 provides, in essence, that a person (including a group of persons whose shares are aggregated) who has satisfied a one-year holding period for such restricted securities may sell within any three-month period, under certain circumstances, an amount of restricted securities which does not exceed the greater of 1% of that class of the Company's outstanding securities or the average weekly trading volume of that class of securities during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. In addition, pursuant to Rule 144, persons who are not affiliated with the Company and who have held their restricted securities for at least two years are not subject to the quantity limitations or the manner of sale restrictions of the rule. As of the date hereof, substantially all of the Company's restricted securities are available for resale pursuant to Rule 144 or have registration 17 rights and are included in the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part, which will allow such shares to be freely resold into the market. In the event that the shares of Common Stock which are not currently salable become salable by means of registration, eligibility for sale under Rule 144 or otherwise and the holders of such securities elect to sell such securities in the public market, there is likely to be a negative effect on the market price of the Company's securities and on the ability of the Company to obtain additional equity financing. In addition, to the extent that such securities enter the market, the value of the Company's securities in the over-the counter market may be reduced. No predictions can be made as to the effect, if any, that sales of such securities (or the availability of such securities for sale) will have on the market price of any of such securities which may prevail from time to time. Nevertheless, the foregoing could adversely affect such prevailing market prices. Authorization of Preferred Stock The Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as further amended (the "Articles of Incorporation"), authorize the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with such rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. Accordingly, the Board of Directors may, without stockholder approval, issue shares of Preferred Stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which are senior to the Shares or which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock. In addition, the issuance of additional shares of Preferred Stock may have the effect of rendering more difficult, or discouraging, an acquisition of the Company or changes in control of the Company. Although, other than as set forth herein, the Company does not currently intend to issue any additional shares of Preferred Stock, there can be no assurance that the Company will not do so in the future. See "Risk Factors--Future Issuances of Stock by the Company; Potential Anti-Takeover Effect," "Risk Factors--Certain Provisions of Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws" and "Description of Securities--Preferred Stock." On October 7, 1997 the Company's shareholders approved a proposal to increase the authorized number of preferred shares from 500,000 to 10,000,000. Immediately upon amendment of the Company's Articles of Incorporation and designation of additional shares of Class C Preferred Stock, the Convertible Notes automatically converted to 11,950 shares of Class C Preferred Stock. Moreover, the Company has agreed to issue 1,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock to the former shareholders of MiBridge, Inc., and has accepted an equity investment from Winter Harbor, L.L.C. in consideration of the issuance of Series M Preferred Stock. See "Description of Securities" and "Recent Transactions." The Company issued to Winter Harbor, L.L.C. 4,400 shares of Series M Preferred Stock which in turn are convertible into 4,400,000 shares of Common Stock. The Series M Preferred Stock provides for 10% cumulative preferred dividends, has the right to veto the payment of dividends on any other class of stock and is convertible into shares of Common Stock, in the case of discretionary conversion by the holder, at $2.75 per share of Common Stock, or, in the case of automatic conversion, at the lower of $2.75 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment, or 50% of the average closing bid price of the Common Stock in the ten trading days preceding the fifth anniversary of issuance of the Series M Preferred Stock. In addition, the Series M Preferred Stock has the right to elect two directors, the right to be redeemed at fair market value in the event of a change of control of the Company (as those terms are defined in the designation of preferences for the Series M Stock), preemptive rights to purchase securities sold by the Company, and the right to preclude the Company from engaging in a variety of practices, including without limitation: mergers, acquisitions and disposition of corporate assets and businesses, the payment of dividends, the formation of subsidiaries engaging in new businesses, hiring or discharging key employees and auditors, transactions with affiliates, commitments in excess of $500,000, the adoption or settlement of employee benefit plans and filing for protection from creditors. 18 Continued Nasdaq Listing The Common Stock is traded on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market tier of The Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol "ILNK." Prior to March 8, 1996, the Common Stock was traded under the symbol "MDCR". While the Common Stock is currently listed for quotation on Nasdaq, there can be no assurance given that the Company will be able to continue to satisfy the requirements for maintaining quotation on Nasdaq or that such quotation will otherwise continue. If, for any reason, the Common Stock becomes ineligible for continued listing and quotation, holders of the Company's securities may have difficulty selling their securities should they desire to do so. Under the rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"), as amended in August 1997, in order to qualify for continued listing on Nasdaq, a company must have, among other things: (1) net tangible assets of at least $2,000,000 or market capitalization of at least $35,000,000 or net income in two of the previous three years of at least $500,000; (2) 500,000 or more publicly trading shares (not counting shares held by affiliates of the Company); (3) market value of public float of at least $1,000,000; (4) minimum bid price of $1.00; (5) not fewer than two marketmakers; and (6) not fewer than 300 shareholders. Although the Company was able initially to satisfy the requirements for listing of its securities on Nasdaq, the Company may be unable to continue to satisfy the requirements for maintaining quotation of its securities thereon, and trading, if any, in the Company's securities would be conducted in the over-the-counter market in what are commonly referred to as the "pink sheets" of the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. or on the NASD OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. As a result, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of such securities. "Penny Stock" Regulations The Commission has adopted regulations which define a "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities, and information on the limited market in penny stocks. In addition, the broker-dealer must obtain a written acknowledgement from the customer that such disclosure information was provided and must retain such acknowledgement for at least three years. Further, monthly statements must be sent to the customer disclosing current price information for the penny stock held in the account. While many Nasdaq-listed securities would otherwise be covered by the definition of penny stock, transactions in a Nasdaq-listed security would be exempt from all but the sole marketmaker provision for: (i) issuers who have $2,000,000 in tangible assets ($6,000,000 if the issuer has not been in continuous operation for three years); (ii) transactions in which the customer is an institutional accredited investor; and (iii) transactions that are not recommended by the broker-dealer. In addition, transactions in a Nasdaq-listed security directly with a Nasdaq marketmaker for such securities would be subject only to the disclosure with respect to commissions to be paid to the broker- dealer and the registered representative. The foregoing rules may materially adversely affect the liquidity for the market of the Company's securities. Such rules may also affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company's securities and may impede the ability of holders of the Company's securities to sell such securities in the secondary market. Certain Provisions of Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws As previously noted, pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock without action by the stockholders in one or more series having such 19 preferences, rights and other provisions as the Board of Directors may designate in providing for the issuance of such series. The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain provisions which may discourage certain transactions which involve an actual or threatened change in control of the Company. See "Description of Securities--Anti-Takeover Measures." Classification of the Board of Directors The Board of Directors of the Company is classified into three classes. Members of each class serve for staggered three year terms, with members of one class coming up for election each year. The classification of the Board of Directors may make it difficult for shareholders to effect a change in management. See "Management." Voting Control Winter Harbor owns 4,400 shares of Series M Preferred Stock, convertible at any time into 4,400,000 shares of Common Stock which upon conversion, would represent 26.5% of the voting securities of the Company. Four M owns 2,329,155 shares of Common Stock or approximately 19.1% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company. Four M has granted options to sell part of its holding in the Company to affiliates of I-Link and associated persons and/or customers of Commonwealth. Furthermore, I-Link, Ltd. owns an aggregate of 284,854 shares of Common Stock or approximately 2.3% of the outstanding voting securities. GNet Enterprises, Inc. is the general partner of I-Link, Ltd. of which Clay Wilkes, a director of the Company, is the sole shareholder. The officers and directors of the Company may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 5,958,805 shares or approximately 39.6% of the outstanding voting securities. Therefore, by virtue of their ownership of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Stock, the officers and directors of the Company have the ability to substantially influence the election of directors and, consequently, influence the Company's business and affairs. See "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management." Lack of Patent Protection The Company does not currently hold any patents, although I-Link has filed patent applications for its technology for fax and voice communications over an internet environment. To the extent any technology included in such products is patentable, if any, there can be no assurance that any patent will in fact be issued or that such patents will be effective to protect the Company's products from duplication by other developers. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to afford the expense of any litigation that may be necessary to enforce its right under any patent. New Products New products are subject to substantial risks, including high costs of introduction, market acceptance and duplication by other developers. See "Risk Factors--I-Link Business Competition" and "Business of I-Link." Contemplated Issuances of Stock and Options to FTI Shareholders, Employees and Consultants Pursuant to the FTI agreement, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, the Company has agreed to issue an aggregate of 400,000 shares of Common Stock to the stockholders of FTI. In addition, the Company approved the grant to Clay Wilkes, a Director of the Company, and Alex Radulovic, Senior Engineer of I-Link, of options to purchase 1,500,000 and 500,000 shares, respectively, the vesting of which would occur on June 30, 2001; provided that the vesting shall accelerate in increments of 25% in the event that the average closing bid price per share of 20 Common Stock for five (5) consecutive trading days equals or exceeds $10, $15, $20 and $25, respectively, upon the graduated achievement of Common Stock prices of $10, $15, $20 and $25, and exercisable to the extent vested commencing June 30, 1997 at a price of $7.00 per share. As of the date hereof, 25% of each of such options has vested. The options lapse on June 30, 2002. Previously, the Company agreed to issue options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share to John Edwards, Chairman of the Board and President of the Company, and in consideration of Mr. Edwards' salary reduction from $175,000 to $96,000, the Company has agreed to grant to Mr. Edwards additional options to purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to $4.875. On May 15, 1997 the Company issued 500,000 additional options to John Edwards at an exercise price of $8.125 per share, 250,000 of which shall vest in twelve equal quarterly installments and the remaining 250,000 of which shall vest upon conditions yet to be determined by the board of directors. The Company has agreed to issue options to purchase 64,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.25 to Joseph Cohen, Commonwealth's designee as Director of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of their employment agreements with I-Link, Karl S. Ryser, Jr., Treasurer of the Company, and William H. Flury, Vice President, Sales and Marketing of I-Link, are each entitled to receive options to purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock. Further, on May 15, 1997 the Company issued 250,000 options to each of Mr. Ryser and David Hardy, Secretary of the Company, at an exercise price of $8.125 per share, half of which shall vest in twelve equal quarterly installments and the remaining half of which shall vest upon conditions yet to be determined by the board of directors. The Company has also agreed to issue warrants to purchase 25,000 and 5,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.875 and $2.50, respectively, to Mr. John Edwards and Mr. Flury, in connection with the loan by such persons to I-Link of $125,000 and $100,000, respectively, in August 1996. On May 15, 1997 Mr. Flury was granted options to purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock and Mr. Robert Edwards, Vice President of Network Operations of I-Link, was granted options to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock, each at the exercise price of $8.125; such options vest in three annual installments. Furthermore, directors of the Company approved the grant of options to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock to each director and an additional 5,000 options per director per committee on which he or she serves for an aggregate of options to purchase 95,000 shares. Finally, on May 15, 1997 the Company granted 300,000 options to each of Messrs. Ryser and Hardy at an exercise price of $8.125 per share; such options are contingent upon the closing of the investment in the Company by Winter Harbor and shall vest in full upon such closing. See "Management," "Executive Compensation-Employment Agreements," "Certain Transactions" and "Recent Transactions - Transactions With Winter Harbor L.L.C.; Series M Preferred Stock." Dilutive Impact of Outstanding Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities The holders of outstanding options, warrants and convertible securities have the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of the Common Stock, if any, without assuming the risk of ownership, with a resulting dilution in the interest of other shareholders. The Company may find it more difficult to raise additional equity capital if it should be needed for the business of the Company while such options and warrants are outstanding. At any time at which the holders thereof might be expected to exercise them, the Company would probably be able to obtain additional capital on terms more favorable than those provided by such options and warrants. The holders of such options and 21 warrants have the right to require registration under the Securities Act of the shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon exercise of such options and warrants and have certain demand and/or "piggy-back" registration rights. The cost to the Company of effecting any such registration may be substantial. Restrictions on Commonwealth Market-Making Activities Commonwealth may be precluded in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act from engaging in market making activities for up to five (5) days prior to and during the period in which it is engaged in the exercise of or sale of the Commonwealth Warrants. As a result, Commonwealth may be unable to continue to provide a market for the Company's Common Stock. Current Prospectus Requirement; Blue Sky Restrictions on Exercise Options and Warrants The holder or holders of the Settlement Warrants and/or the Commonwealth Warrants and/or the Cook Option and/or the E&M Warrants and/or the Mandarino Warrants and/or the Hardy Group Warrants will have the right to sell or exercise such warrants only if a current prospectus relating to such securities and/or the shares underlying such securities is then in effect and only if such securities are qualified for sale or exempt under applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws of the states in which the holder or holders of such Warrants reside. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to keep this Prospectus or any prospectus covering any such securities current, although the Company will use its best efforts to do so. Also, certain exemptions in the blue sky laws of certain states may permit the holders of such Warrants to transfer such Warrants or holders thereof may move to states in which the shares underlying such Warrants are not registered or qualified during the period such Warrants are exercisable. The Company may decide not to seek or may be unable to obtain qualification of the issuance of such Common Stock in all of the states in which the ultimate holders of the Settlement Warrants, the Commonwealth Warrants, the Cook Options, the E&M Warrants, the Mandarino Warrants or the Hardy Group Warrants reside. In such event, the Settlement Warrants, the Commonwealth Warrants, the Cook Option, the E&M Warrants, the Mandarino Warrants and/or the Hardy Group Warrants may expire and have no value if they cannot be exercised. Forward-Looking Statements This Prospectus includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Prospectus, including, without limitation, the statements under "Prospectus Summary," "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis" and "Business" are forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable at this time, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. THE COMPANY I-Link Incorporated (formerly known as Medcross, Inc. and previously defined as the "Company") was incorporated in Florida on April 21, 1983. On November 30, 1990, the Company closed on its limited partnership offering of Medcross Imaging, Ltd. ("Medcross Imaging"). Medcross Imaging was formed for the purpose of purchasing a Philips T-5 MRI mounted in a mobile van to provide services to health care facilities on the southwest coast of Florida and commenced operations in February 1991. During May and June 1992, in a series of individual transactions, the Company acquired an additional 26.75% ownership interest in Medcross Imaging. Prior to the acquisitions, the Company had ownership interests in Medcross Imaging of 41.5%, 80.75%, and 81.75%, respectively. In June 1993, the Company purchased Waters Edge Scanning Associates, Ltd. renamed "Tampa MRI" after the acquisition. In October 1994, the Company closed on an acquisition of a 75% ownership interest in Urological Ultrasound Services of Tampa Bay (UUSTB) from Urology Ultrasound, Inc. Prior to the acquisition, the Company owned the other 25% ownership interest in UUSTB. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. UUSTB was organized on September 9, 1987 and is in the business of providing mobile ultrasound services to urological patients in west central Florida. The Company immediately transferred all assets and liabilities of the partnership to Urological Ultrasound Services of Tampa Bay, 22 Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, formed for the purpose of this acquisition. Prior to the acquisition, the Company recorded its share of income and loss on its 25% ownership interest in UUSTB using the equity method. On May 1, 1995, the Company transferred all of the assets and liabilities of Urological Ultrasound Services of Tampa Bay, Inc. to Tampa MRI. On February 23, 1996, the Company closed its acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of I-Link Worldwide Inc., a Utah corporation (subsequently renamed I-Link Systems, Inc. and referred to herein as "I-Link") from I-Link, Ltd., a Utah limited partnership, in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company. Prior to the acquisition, the assets and liabilities of I-Link, Ltd. were transferred to I-Link (which had no prior activity) at their historical cost. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Pursuant to the terms of the I-Link Purchase Agreement, 1,400,000 of the 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company issuable thereunder were issued upon closing of the I-Link Acquisition and 2,600,000 of such shares of Common Stock were issued and placed in escrow. Subsequently, 80,046 shares were released from escrow. An additional 1,519,954 were to be and have been released upon the receipt of the Company of at least $4 million in proceeds from a debt or equity offering. As a result of the Class C Offering, such shares were released and the Company recorded acquired in-process research and development expense of $14.6 million in fiscal 1996, and an increase to paid-in capital of $12.6 million in fiscal 1996. The final one million shares held in escrow were released in August 1997 as a result of satisfaction of certain revenue targets, resulting in an increase in intangible assets and paid-in capital of $8,875,000. On January 13, 1997, pursuant to the terms of a Share Exchange Agreement for the Acquisition of Family Telecommunications Incorporated by Medcross, Inc. effective as of January 1, 1997 (the "Exchange Agreement"), the Company acquired the outstanding stock of Family Telecommunications Incorporated, a Utah corporation subsequently renamed I-Link Communications, Inc.(heretofore defined as "FTI") from the stockholders of FTI, namely, Robert W. Edwards, Jr. and Jerald L. Nelson. The consideration for the transaction consists of an aggregate of 400,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock to be issued by the Company upon approval by the Company's shareholders of an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation authorizing an increase in the number shares of Common Stock from 20 million to 75 million. Such amendment was approved at the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders on October 7, 1997. The purchase price was determined based upon the negotiated value of the assets and operations of FTI. John W. Edwards, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Robert W. Edwards, Jr., the principal shareholder and one of the two shareholders of FTI, are brothers. On August 12, 1997 the Company entered into an agreement with MiBridge, Inc., a New Jersey corporation ("MiBridge") and Mr. Dror Nahumi, the principal shareholder of MiBridge, pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of MiBridge (the "MiBridge Acquisition"). The MiBridge Acquisition subsequently closed on September 2, 1997. MiBridge is the owner of patent-pending audio-conferencing technology and is a leader in creating speech-encoding and compression algorithms designed to produce superior audio quality and lower delay over low-band networks. The Company committed to pay the stockholders of MiBridge (the "MiBridge Stockholders") consideration consisting of (i) an aggregate $2,000,000 in cash, payable in quarterly installments over two years, and (ii) an aggregate 1,000 shares of a series of the Company's convertible preferred stock to be created (the "Series D Preferred Stock"). The 1,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock are convertible at the option of the MiBridge Shareholders, at any time during the nine months following the closing of the Acquisition, into such number of shares of Common Stock as shall equal the sum of $6,250,000 divided by $9.25 (the "Conversion Price"), which price was the closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock on June 5, 1997 (the date that the first letter agreement relating to the transaction was executed). On the nine-month anniversary of the closing of the MiBridge Acquisition, any unconverted Series D Preferred Stock shall automatically convert to Common Stock. In either case, the Series D Preferred Stock shall be converted at the lower of the Conversion Price or the average closing bid price for the five trading days immediately preceding the date the Company receives notice of conversion or the automatic conversion date, as the case may be. Certain MiBridge financial statements are contained in "Financial Statements." 23 Employees As of September 30, 1997, the Company employed approximately 135 full- time employees, including six persons in management and twelve administrative personnel. The Company is not a party to any collective bargaining agreement and the Company's employees are not represented by any labor union. The Company considers its relationship with its employees to be good. The Company's success depends in large part upon its ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain highly skilled employees, of which there can be no assurance. The Company's corporate offices are located at 13751 S. Wadsworth Park Drive, Suite 200, Draper, Utah 84020; telephone: (801) 576-5000. USE OF PROCEEDS The Securities subject hereto have been previously issued to or are issuable to the Selling Securityholders and are being offered for sale by the Selling Securityholders. Consequently, the Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sales of the Settlement Shares, the Shares, the Conversion Shares, the Commonwealth Shares, the Babcock Shares, the Cook Shares, the E&M Shares, the Mandarino Shares or the Hardy Group Shares. The Company will receive the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Settlement Warrants, the Commonwealth Warrants, the Cook Options, the E&M Warrants, the Mandarino Warrants and the Hardy Group Warrants, but will not receive any of the proceeds from the exercise of the Four M Options or from the resale of the Commonwealth Warrants, the E&M Warrants, the Mandarino Warrants, and/or the Hardy Group Warrants or the sale by the holders of the Settlement Shares, the Commonwealth Shares, the Cook Shares, the E&M Shares, the Mandarino Shares or the Hardy Group Shares by Selling Securityholders. Proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Settlement Warrants, the Commonwealth Warrants, the Cook Option, the E&M Warrants, the Mandarino Warrants and/or the Hardy Group Warrants will be used for working capital purposes.

Consolidated Operating Results Operating results for 1996 are not comparable to 1995 due to the inclusion of operating results of I-Link acquired on February 13, 1996. Accordingly, operating results of 1996 include I-Link while operating results of 1995 did not include I-Link. Net operating revenue of the Company decreased 23.7% in 1996 as compared to 1995. This was a result of decreased revenue of diagnostic imaging services, foreign operations, and management and other services, offset by the inclusion of network services of I-Link. Salaries and benefits increased to $701,798 in 1996 as compared to 1995. Salaries and benefits of $945,030 are attributable to the inclusion of I-Link in 1996, offset by decreases for diagnostic imaging, foreign operations and management and other services of $26,590, $59,132 and $157,510, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1,664,444 in 1996 compared to 1995. This increase was due to the inclusion of I-Link, offset by a decrease in expense from diagnostic imaging, foreign operations and management and other services of $58,218, $146,012 and $104,075, respectively. Cost of goods sold in 1995 was entirely related to the sale and service of CT equipment in China. The increase in communications network expense of $1,120,779 in 1996, related to the business of I-Link. These expenses include communication lines, links, facility costs and hardware maintenance associated with the operation of the I-Link network. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $628,984 in 1996. The increase was primarily due to depreciation of I- Link assets. Provision for inventory valuation of $260,033 relates to an inventory valuation allowance for the Company's inventory located in China and represents the Company's best estimate of the reserve necessary to reflect the inventory at its net realizable value. The decrease in repairs and maintenance expenses was mainly related to diagnostic imaging services. The provision for doubtful accounts decreased $167,528. The decrease was primarily attributable to $66,000 related to diagnostic imaging services and $127,000 for doubtful accounts from foreign operation in 1995, which did not recur in 1996. Acquired in-process research and development expenses of $14,577,942 in 1996 relate to the acquisition of in-process research and development acquired when the Company purchased I-Link. The acquired in-process research and development was expensed as technological feasibility had not been established and the technology had no alternative future use. Research and development expenses of $347,504 in 1996 related to the Company's continued research and development associated with the acquired technology. 26 The increase in interest expense of $2,031,206 was primarily attributable to interest expense (non-cash) on convertible promissory notes and warrants issued with other notes and is calculated as the difference between the aggregate conversion price per common share per the promissory notes or warrants as compared to the market price of the common stock on the date the promissory notes or warrants were issued. The increase in interest income of $136,605 was related to increased cash balances related to proceeds from the sale of preferred stock by the Company during 1996. Litigation settlement expense of $821,000 recognized in 1996 was associated with the Company's settlement of the JW Charles litigation. The expense (non-cash) directly relates to the issuance of 175,000 warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price less than fair market value of the common stock at the date of issuance. These will be issued in association with the settlement of the JW Charles litigation. Diagnostic Imaging. Net operating revenue from diagnostic imaging services decreased $519,324 (20.9%) in 1996 compared to 1995. MRI revenue of Tampa MRI (a subsidiary of the Company) accounted for $184,616 of the decrease. This decrease is mainly related to a 20.8% decrease in the average revenue per procedure offset by a minimal increase in the number of procedures performed in 1996 compared to 1995. Tampa MRI has obtained and will continue its efforts to obtain managed care contracts. The participation in the managed care environment has caused a decrease in the revenue per procedure; however, these decreases have been partially offset by increases in the number of procedures performed. In addition to the increased participation in managed health care contracts, during the fourth quarter of 1996, Tampa MRI has contracted with several companies that lease time from Tampa MRI, which has also decreased the revenue per procedure. Currently, approximately 50% of the time of Tampa MRI is leased by such companies. While the combination of these two factors (the increase in managed care contracts and the increase in the amount of time that is leased to third party companies) has decreased the revenue per procedure, the referral base has significantly broadened. MRI revenue of Medcross Imaging, Ltd. decreased $322,973 in 1996 compared to 1995. This decrease was caused by a decrease in the average revenue per procedure of 28.1%. The decrease in the average revenue per procedure of Medcross Imaging, Ltd. is due to the decrease of the per procedure charges to the hospital clients pursuant to service contracts placed into effect on October 1, 1995. These contracts extended the service period to the hospitals from February 29, 1996 to February 28, 1997. While the charge per procedure was reduced, each hospital had specific monthly minimum quotas. There was no material change in the number of procedures performed in 1996 as compared to 1995. The contracts extended to February 28, 1997 were not renewed and the Company intends to pursue the retail MRI segment of the market. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to do so. The revenue of the ultrasound operations decreased 3.8% in 1996 as compared to 1995. This decrease was caused by a decrease in the number of procedures performed, offset by an increase in the average revenue per patient. During the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company has been providing ultrasound services to a local hospital during certain surgical procedures. The amount of time needed to perform surgery is substantially longer than the amount of time taken to perform the other ultrasound procedures; however, the rates at which the Company is reimbursed is greater than the other ultrasound procedures. This has caused the decrease in the number of procedures performed and an increase in the average revenue per procedure. Management believes that participation in surgical procedures will increase, therefore increasing the average revenue per procedure. The operating profit from diagnostic imaging services decreased $280,699 in 1995 as compared to 1996. This decrease included a decline in operating profit from MRI services of $296,008, slightly offset by the operating profit from ultrasound services of $15,309. The decrease in operating profit was caused by the decrease in net operating revenue described above, offset by the decrease in total operating expenses for diagnostic imaging services of $238,625 in 1996 as compared to 1995. Operating expenses from Medcross Imaging, Ltd., Tampa MRI and ultrasound services decreased $72,180, $139,401, and $27,044, respectively, in 1996 compared to 1995. Foreign Sales and Service of Medical Equipment. The Company sells and services used and refurbished computerized tomography (CT) scanners in the People's Republic of China through its own office in Beijing and a joint venture company, Shenyang Medcross Huamei Medical Equipment Company, Ltd. (SMHME), of which it owns 51%. On May 31, 1995, the Beijing office was closed and the 27 responsibilities for the parts depot and the remaining inventory have been transferred to SMHME. The purchasers in China regarding maintenance of scanners, parts depot, etc have raised various issues. The Company received $125,000 in payments through December 31, 1995. However, the Company has elected to fully reserve for all remaining amounts due to the Beijing office for the four scanners installed. This resulted in an expense of $126,910 in 1995 and an overall allowance for doubtful accounts of $315,753 as of December 31, 1996. In 1996, the Company has written down the CT scanner inventory of the Beijing operations to what management believes is its fair market value. This resulted in a valuation expense of $260,033 in 1996. The Company has held discussions regarding the sale of the Beijing operations. No decision has been made. Management and Other. Net operating revenue from management and other activities decreased by $53,196 in 1996 as compared to 1995. A portion of the decrease was related to the management contract with Bay Area Renal Stone Center (BARSC). This contract accounted for $27,475 in management fees in 1995 and no management fees in 1996. In August 1995, the Company's management contract with BARSC was terminated. The annual management fee revenue based upon contracts currently in effect is $305,160. The net operating loss for management and other activities decreased 30.5% in 1996 compared to 1995. This decreased loss is related to the decrease in total operating expenses of 26.5% to $693,286 in 1996 from $943,342 in 1995. This decrease was offset by the reduced revenue described above. Salaries and benefits decreased $157,510 in 1996 compared to 1995 and other operating expenses decreased $104,075 in 1996 as compared to 1995. Communications Network and Related Services -- I-Link. The operating revenue of network and related services from I-Link was $170,532 for 1996. The net operating loss from network and related services was $19,501,391 for 1996, primarily due to research and development costs of $14,925,446. Of this amount $14,577,942 was related to acquired in-process research and development. Other I-Link expenses are primarily related to the development and deployment of its communication products. These expenses include software research and development, network maintenance and expenses relating to sales and marketing, finance and accounting, information systems, and administrative personnel. Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31,1996 were $4,500,227 as compared to $79,316 as of December 31, 1995. This increase was primarily due to a private placement of preferred stock in 1996. Cash flow used by operations during 1996 was $4,840,285 compared to cash flow provided by operations in 1995 of $319,362. The working capital position of the Company was $2,400,501 at December 31, 1996. The increased cash flow used by operations was primarily due to expenses associated with the establishment of the I-Link communication network. Net cash used by investing activities in 1996 was $2,573,486 as compared to net cash provided of $4,283 in 1995. The increase in cash used by investing activities was primarily attributable to the purchase of property and equipment associated with the establishment of the I-Link communications network and purchase of restricted certificates of deposit required as deposit for leases entered into by I-Link relating to its facilities and communication network. Other investing activity expenditures during 1996 related to the purchase of additional equipment for I-Link. Financing activities provided net cash of $11,834,681 in 1996 as compared to cash used by financing activities in 1995 of $603,252. The increase in cash provided was due to the net proceeds of $12,290,000 from the issuance of preferred stock and $356,000 from the exercise of warrants and options. In 1996 the Company had proceeds of $2,502,333 from the issuance of notes payable as compared to $218,000 in 1995. The Company repaid $2,991,356 of notes payable and long-term debt in 1996 as compared to $521,871 in 1995. SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1997 1997 Operations Prior to 1997 the Company's primary source of revenue was related to health care services. The primary expenses of the Company prior to 1997 were related to delivery of health care services and the development of a proprietary data communications network. With the Company's acquisition of FTI (effective January 1, 1997), a 28 regional long-distance telecommunications carrier with nationwide delivery of telecommunications services over traditional switched telecommunications networks, the Company launched its marketing efforts and began to obtain customers for these long distance telecommunications services. The Company expanded its existing customer base through these marketing activities and plans further expansion through the strategic acquisition of existing customer bases. The Company believes that the multi-level marketing channel is an excellent vehicle through which to acquire new customers. There are numerous revenue sources derived from the sales through a multi-level marketing channel. These revenues include the sale of long distance service, sales marketing materials and business opportunity. The multi-level marketing channel did not begin selling services and materials until June of 1997. Therefore, significant revenues from this channel were not realized during the second quarter of 1997. In addition, it should be noted that significant long distance usage over the Company's network is not expected until the third quarter of 1997. On August 12, 1997 the Company signed an agreement to acquire MiBridge, Inc., a leading provider of telephone and conferencing software and hardware. The closing of this acquisition occurred on September 2, 1997. This acquisition facilitates the Company's ability to further expand its product offerings as well as receive royalty revenue from existing MiBridge customers. Financial Condition Working Capital. The working capital position of the Company was a deficit of $2,573,251 at June 30, 1997 and $1,579,501 at December 31, 1996. Cash on hand at June 30, 1997 was $1,176,386 as compared to $4,500,227 as of December 31, 1996. The decrease in cash on hand was primarily attributable to cash used by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 1997. Cash used by operating activities was $5,040,728 in the first six months of 1997 as compared to cash used by operating activities of $866,315 for the same period in 1996. Investing Activities. Effective January 1, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of FTI in exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock. FTI is an FCC-licensed long-distance carrier and provider of telecommunication services and as such provides the Company with an existing customer base and related revenues. On August 12, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with MiBridge, Inc., a New Jersey corporation ("MiBridge") and Mr. Dror Nahumi, the principal shareholder of MiBridge, pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of MiBridge (the "MiBridge Acquisition"). The MiBridge Acquisition subsequently closed on September 2, 1997. MiBridge is the owner of patent-pending audio-conferencing technology and is a leader in creating speech-encoding and compression algorithms designed to produce superior audio quality and lower delay over low-band networks. The Company will pay the stockholders of MiBridge (the "MiBridge Stockholders") consideration consisting of (i) an aggregate $2,000,000 in cash, payable in quarterly installments over two years, and (ii) an aggregate 1,000 shares of a series of the Company's convertible preferred stock to be created (the "Series D Preferred Stock"). The 1,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock are convertible at the option of the MiBridge Stockholders, at any time during the nine months following the closing of the MiBridge Acquisition, into such number of shares of Common Stock as shall equal the sum of $6,250,000 divided by $9.25 (the "Conversion Price"), which price was the closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock on June 5, 1997 (the date that the first letter agreement relating to the transaction was executed). On the nine-month anniversary of the closing of the MiBridge Acquisition, any unconverted Series D Preferred Stock shall automatically convert to Common Stock. In either case, the Series D Preferred Stock shall be converted at the lower of the Conversion Price or the average closing bid price for the five trading days immediately preceding the date the Company receives notice of conversion or the automatic conversion date, as the case may be. The Company has entered into an employment contract with Mr. Nahumi providing terms, conditions and benefits similar to those provided in employment contracts with existing members of the Company's senior management, including standard confidentiality, non-competition and assignment of invention provisions. Mr. Nahumi's annual salary shall be at least $100,000, and Mr. Nahumi will devote his full time to managing the operations of MiBridge under the direction of the Company. 29 Investing activities during the first six months of 1997 resulted in a net cash outflow of $48,680, including cash acquired in the amount of $435,312 from the acquisition of FTI. The Company expended $483,992 for acquisition of property and equipment during the first six months of 1997. Financing Activities. In the first six months of 1997, the Company reduced its notes payable, long-term debt and capital lease obligations by $256,932. These reductions include payments in the amount of $60,378 on indebtedness acquired in the acquisition of FTI. The inclusion of FTI in 1997 increased notes payable by $693,333, and notes payable to others of $104,575. On June 5, 1997, the Company entered into a term loan agreement ("Loan Agreement") and promissory note ("Note") with Winter Harbor, L.L.C. ("Winter Harbor") pursuant to which Winter Harbor agreed to loan to the Company the principal sum of $2,000,000 (the "Loan") for capital expenditures and working capital purposes. As further consideration for Winter Harbor's commitment to make the Loan, the Company granted to Winter Harbor a warrant ("Loan Warrant") to purchase up to five hundred thousand shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $4.97 per share, subject to adjustment, pursuant to the terms of a Warrant Agreement between the parties. The Loan Warrant expires on March 11, 2002, and contains demand and piggyback registration rights and customary anti-dilution terms. The maturity date of the Note is October 15, 1998. On August 18, 1997 the Company amended the existing Note, allowing for additional borrowing of up to $3,000,000. The incremental borrowings under this amendment have a maturity date of February 15, 1998. For every $1,000,000 drawn down on this extension, the Company will issue 100,000 warrants at current market price. All other provisions of this extension are the same as the Note discussed above. As of the date hereof the total principal amount borrowed from Winter Harbor is $5,000,000. The Company and Winter Harbor executed a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 30, 1997 and closed on October 10, 1997, pursuant to which Winter Harbor invested $12,100,000 in a new series of the Company's convertible preferred stock (the "Series M Preferred Stock"). Winter Harbor purchased approximately 2,545 shares of Series M Preferred Stock (convertible into 2,545,000 shares of Common Stock) for an aggregate cash consideration of approximately $7,000,000 (equivalent to $2.75 per share of Common Stock). The agreement with Winter Harbor also provided for purchase of approximately 1,855 additional shares of Series M Preferred Stock (convertible into 1,855,000 shares of Common Stock). Such additional shares of Series M Preferred Stock were paid for by exchanging $5,000,000 outstanding principal balance plus approximately $100,000 accrued interest due under the Note. As additional consideration for its equity financing commitments, Winter Harbor was issued additional warrants by the Company to acquire (a) 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share (the "Series A Warrants"), (b) 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share (the "Series B Warrants") and (c) 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.69 per share (the "Series C Warrants"). The respective exercise prices for the Series A Warrants, the Series B Warrants and the Series C Warrants (collectively, the "Investment Warrants") shall be subject to adjustment. The Series A Warrants will be exercisable at any time for thirty months from the date of issuance, and the Series B Warrants and Series C Warrants will be exercisable at any time for sixty months from the date of issuance. All of the Investment Warrants (i) have demand registration rights and anti-dilution rights and (ii) contain cashless exercise provisions. The Series M Preferred Stock is entitled to receive cumulative dividends in the amount of 10% per annum before any other class of preferred or common stock receives any dividends. Thereafter, the Series M Preferred Stock will participate with the Common Stock in the issuance of any dividends on a per share basis. Moreover, the Series M Preferred Stock will have the right to veto the payment of dividends on any other class of stock. The Series M Preferred Stock shall be convertible at any time prior to the fifth anniversary of its issuance, at the sole option of Winter Harbor, into shares of Common Stock on a one thousand-for-one basis; provided, however, that the Series M Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted to Common Stock on the fifth anniversary of its issuance at no cost to Winter Harbor. The conversion price shall be, in the case of discretionary conversion, $2.75 per share of Common Stock, or, in the case of automatic conversion, the lower of $2.75 per share or 50% of the average closing bid price of the Common Stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the fifth anniversary of issuance. The basis for discretionary conversion, or the conversion price for automatic conversion, shall be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events, including without limitation, issuance of stock dividends, recapitalization of the Company, or the issuance of stock by the Company at less than the fair market value thereof. 30 The Company requires the equity financing ($12,100,000) by Winter Harbor (see above), or financing from other sources of equity, third-party debt or similar financing, in order to successfully operate the business as planned. The ability of the Company to meet the demands for growth and expansion will be dependent upon the success the Company achieves in meeting its forecasted sales objectives and anticipated expenses. The availability of capital remains a significant element to the Company's success. There can be no assurance that such financing will be completed or that the Company will not be required to issue significant debt or equity securities in order to obtain the necessary funding. See "Recent Transactions - Transactions With Winter Harbor, L.L.C." for further information regarding the transactions with Winter Harbor, including a discussion of debt issuance costs relating thereto. Results of Operations Comparison of Second Quarter 1997 to Second Quarter 1996 Telecommunications Service Revenue. Telecommunications service revenue in the second quarter of 1997 was $2,266,492. There was no such revenue in the second quarter of 1996 as this service began with the acquisition of FTI in January 1997. Health Care Service Revenue. Health care service revenue was $582,298 in the second quarter of 1997 as compared to $582,490 in the same quarter of 1996. Although the revenue was comparable, the number of procedures decreased in 1997 while the revenue per procedure increased. The decrease in procedures and increase in revenue per procedure was expected as one of the Company's diagnostic imaging facilities now pursues the retail segment of the MRI market rather than providing services to hospitals through contracts as in 1996. Marketing Services Revenue. Marketing services revenue, which includes revenues recognized from independent representatives for training, promotional and presentation materials, and ongoing administrative support was $720,490 in the second quarter of 1997 as compared to $0 in the same quarter of 1996. This channel of distribution of telecommunication services was begun late in the second quarter of 1997 and thus had no comparable revenue in 1996. Other Revenue. Other revenue decreased $55,338 in the second quarter of 1997 to $0 as compared to $55,338 in the same quarter of 1996. The decrease is primarily due to internet service provider revenues in 1996 that did not recur in 1997. Telecommunications Network Expenses. Telecommunications expenses increased $3,950,406 in the second quarter of 1997 to $4,174,708 as compared to $224,302 for the same quarter of 1996. These expenses include the costs related to the continuing development and deployment of the Company's communication network and expenses related to the telecommunication service revenue which began in 1997 with the acquisition of FTI. Marketing Services Expenses. Marketing services expense was $640,739 in the second quarter of 1997 as compared to $0 for the same quarter of 1996. The expenses directly relate to the Company's marketing service revenue which began late in the second quarter of 1997. Marketing service expenses include commissions and the costs of providing training, promotional and presentation materials and ongoing administrative support. Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $1,343,208 to $2,378,890 in the second quarter of 1997 as compared to $1,035,682 in the second quarter of 1996. The increase was primarily due to increased administrative expense associated with the launch of the multi-level marketing channel and general increase in overhead and personnel expenses associated with growing the Company's telecommunication business. 31 Provision for Doubtful Accounts. Provision for doubtful accounts increased $318,654 to $368,273 in the second quarter of 1997 as compared to $49,619 in the same quarter of 1996. This increase is primarily related to the Company's growth in telecommunication service revenue. Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $422,625 to $618,443 in the second quarter of 1997 as compared to $195,818 in the second quarter of 1996. The increase is primarily due to increased amortization of intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of FTI in 1997. Depreciation expense also increased due to the acquisition of telecommunication equipment in late 1996 and 1997. Research and Development. Research and development was $234,246 in the second quarter of 1997 as compared to $0 in 1996. The increase is associated with the Company's continuing telecommunication network research and development efforts. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $1,009 to $74,118 in the second quarter of 1997 as compared to $75,127 in the same quarter of 1996. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of loans outstanding during the second quarter of 1997 as compared to the same quarter of 1996. Interest and Other Income (Expense). Interest and other income (expense) increased $59,964 to $57,199 in the second quarter of 1997 as compared to $(2,765) in the second quarter of 1996. The increase was primarily due to an increase in interest income in 1997 due to an increase in the average balance of cash on hand as a result of proceeds from the Company's sale of Class C Preferred Stock in the third quarter of 1996. Minority Interest in Net Loss of Consolidated Subsidiaries. Minority interest in net loss of consolidated subsidiaries increased $18,033 to $20,039 in the second quarter of 1997 as compared to $2,006 in the same quarter of 1996. The increase is related to increased losses in the Company's subsidiary as it transitioned from contracts with hospitals to the retail segment of the MRI market. Comparison of Six Months Ending June 1997 to Six Months Ending June 1996 Telecommunications Service Revenue. Telecommunications service revenue for the six months ending June 30, 1997 was $4,414,825. There was no such revenue for the same period ending June 30, 1996 as this service began with the acquisition of FTI in January 1997. Health Care Service Revenue. Health care service revenue increased $4,885 in the six months ending June 30, 1997 to $1,179,555 as compared to $1,174,670 in the same period ending June 30, 1996. Although the revenue was comparable, the number of procedures decreased in 1997 while the revenue per procedure increased. The decrease in procedures and increase in revenue per procedure was expected as one of the Company's diagnostic imagining facilities now pursues the retail segment of the MRI market rather than providing services to hospitals through contracts as in 1996. Marketing Services Revenue. Marketing services revenue was $720,490 in the six months ending June 30, 1997 as compared to $0 in the same period ending June 30, 1996. This channel of distribution of telecommunication services was begun late in the second quarter of 1997 and thus had no comparable revenue in 1996. Other Revenue. Other revenue decreased $72,364 in the six months ending June 30, 1997 to $0 as compared to $72,364 in the same period ending June 30, 1996. The decrease is primarily due to internet service provider revenues in 1996 that did not recur in 1997. Telecommunications Network Expenses. Telecommunications expenses increased $6,743,255 in the six months ending June 30, 1997 to $7,065,790 as compared to $322,535 for the same period ending June 30, 1996. These expenses include the costs related to the continuing development and deployment of the Company's communication network and expenses related to the telecommunication service revenue which began in 1997 with the acquisition of FTI. 32 Marketing Services Expenses. Marketing services expense was $640,739 in the first six months of 1997 as compared to $0 for the same period of 1996. The expenses directly relate to the company's marketing service revenue which began late in the second quarter of 1997. Marketing service expenses include commissions and the costs of providing training, promotional and presentation materials and ongoing administrative support. Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $2,995,749 to $5,026,034 in the six months ending June 30, 1997 as compared to $2,030,285 in the same period ending June 30, 1996. The increase was primarily due to increased administrative expense associated with the launch of the multi-level marketing channel and general increase in overhead and personnel expenses associated with growing the Company's telecommunication business. Provision for Doubtful Accounts. Provision for doubtful accounts increased $412,635 to $503,498 in the six months ending June 30, 1997 as compared to $90,863 in the same period ending June 30, 1996. This increase is primarily related to the Company's growth in telecommunication service revenue. Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $494,747 to $1,019,938 in the six months ending June 30, 1997 as compared to $525,191 in the same period ending June 30, 1996. The increase is primarily due to increased amortization of intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of FTI in 1997. Depreciation expense also increased due to the acquisition of telecommunication equipment in late 1996 and 1997. Provision for Asset Valuation. The provision for asset valuation occurred in the first quarter of 1997 (none in 1996) and includes a valuation allowance for inventory of $55,341 and a write off of tenant improvements abandoned when I-Link moved corporate headquarters in January 1997 in the amount of $158,603. Acquired In-Process Research and Development. Acquired in-process research and development in the six months ending June 30, 1996 was $4,777,943 which was related to the acquisition of I-Link in February 1996. There were no similar costs in the six months ended June 30, 1997. Research and Development. Research and development was $345,334 in the six months ending June 30, 1997 as compared to $0 in the same period ending June 30, 1996. The increase is associated with the Company's continuing telecommunication network research and development efforts. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $647,291 to $420,475 in the six months ending June 30, 1997 as compared to $1,067,766 in the same period ending June 30, 1996. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in imputed interest expense (non-cash) of $625,000 to $320,000 in the six months ending June 30, 1997 as compared to $945,000 in the same period of 1996. The imputed interest was related to certain convertible promissory notes issued in 1996. Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income increased $129,352 to $142,114 in the six months ending June 30, 1997 as compared to $12,762 in the same period ending June 30, 1996. The increase was primarily due to an increase in interest income in the first six months of 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996 due to an increased average balance of cash on hand primarily as a result of proceeds from the Company's sale of Class C Preferred Stock in the third quarter of 1996. Minority Interest in Net Loss of Consolidated Subsidiaries. Minority interest in net loss of consolidated subsidiaries increased $29,065 to $29,128 in the six months ending June 30, 1997 as compared to $63 in the same period ending June 30, 1996. The increase is related to increased losses in the Company's subsidiary as it transitions from contracts with hospitals to the retail segment of the market. Other Items The Company's activities have not been, and in the near term are not expected to be, materially affected by inflation or changing prices in general. However, the Company's revenues will continue to be affected by competitive forces in the market place. 33 In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share. This statement establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS") and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock. This statement simplifies the standards for computing EPS and makes them comparable to international EPS standards. This statement is effective for financial statements for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the recently issued statement and will adopt the requirements for the year ending December 31, 1997. The Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on the results of operations or financial position of the Company. Based on that review, the Company believes that none of these pronouncements will have a significant effect on current or future earnings or operations. As the Company is developing its own accounting systems for reporting and operations and is addressing year 2000 issues as part of that development, no significant incremental costs are anticipated in order to be year 2000 compliant. BUSINESS OF I-LINK Overview The primary business of the Company as carried on through its wholly-owned subsidiaries I-Link Systems, Inc. (formerly named I-Link Worldwide, Inc.), I-Link Communications, Inc. (formerly named Family Telecommunications Incorporated) and I-Link Worldwide, L.L.C. (collectively referred to as "I- Link"), is the sale and delivery of communications capabilities to residential, business and wholesale customers via both a proprietary data communication network established by I-Link that operates in the same manner as the Internet (the "I-Link Intranet") and existing switched telecommunications networks. I- Link seeks to provide more effective communications solutions and enhanced capabilities to users of traditional telecommunications services through utilization of the I-Link Intranet and other existing data communications networks, as well as through volume purchasing of capacity on traditional switched telecommunications networks. I-Link has developed patent-pending technology and has deployed a national network infrastructure of communications equipment and dedicated lines that will enable it to route traditional telecommunications services over the I-Link Intranet in a manner that is transparent to the user, employing the user's existing telecommunications equipment. With its acquisition of Family Telecommunications Incorporated (now renamed I-Link Communications, Inc.), a regional long-distance telecommunications carrier with nationwide delivery of telecommunications services over traditional switched telecommunications networks, the Company in January 1997 launched its marketing efforts and began to obtain customers for its long-distance telecommunications services through I-Link. In June 1997 I- Link launched its multi-level marketing program, I-Link Worldwide, L.L.C., to market its products and services to the residential and small business markets. Through its marketing activities and through strategic acquisitions of existing customer bases, I-Link will aggressively seek to enlarge its overall customer base. The I-Link services will initially be delivered across existing switched telecommunications networks; then, as I-Link's Intranet technology becomes fully deployable and reaches targeted customer-base size in given geographic areas, customer traffic in those areas will be moved from the traditional switched telecommunications networks to the network of dedicated lines I-Link has established and over which its proprietary technology is deployed (the "I-Link Intranet"). The move from the traditional switched telecommunications network to the I-Link Intranet is transparent to the customer and will result in a significant reduction in the cost of delivering the services, both increasing profitability and permitting I-Link to offer increased savings to its customers, as well as differentiating I-Link and its services in a highly commoditized market. I-Link believes this strategy of building customer bases in geographic areas on traditional switched networks and transitioning the traffic to the I-Link Intranet as the size of the customer base increases will result in the most cost effective nationwide deployment of the I-Link Intranet. Currently, I-Link's communications products and services (the "I-Link Services") are primarily delivered over the traditional switched telephone network at discounted pricing levels based upon existing contracts with national 34 carriers. Within certain geographic areas in the Intermountain West where the number of I-Link customers is greatest, the I-Link Services are now delivered over the I-Link Intranet. As the customer bases in other geographic areas increase, the I-Link Intranet will be expanded to include those areas, and the delivery of the I-Link Services in those areas will be diverted from the traditional switched telephone network to the I-Link Intranet. The following is a description of how the I-Link Services are delivered using the I-Link Intranet and technology. The I-Link Intranet and technology enable the user to employ its existing telephone and fax machine to call or send a fax long-distance to its ultimate destination with a significant savings on long-distance telephone charges. Transmission takes place primarily via flat rate-based data lines which comprise the I-Link Intranet such as those found on the Internet. No special telephone or fax equipment is required for the user. The person who receives the call or fax does not need to be a subscriber to the I-Link Services and does not need any equipment other than a conventional telephone or fax machine to receive the call or fax. The call and fax arrive in the same amount of time, and the fax in the same form, as with a conventional telephone/fax transmission. I-Link pursues a multi-tiered infrastructure strategy. In some cases, I-Link has and will continue to establish its own local sites. In others, I-Link will partner with nationally recognized telephone service resellers and Internet Service Providers ("ISPs"), incenting those organizations to provide the needed local site consistent with I-Link's service requirements. I-Link will continue to establish its own local sites incrementally as growing customer base and business needs dictate. Installation of the local sites is a relatively simple process involving pre-configured Communication Engines (consisting of computer and networking hardware and proprietary software) and communications lines. I-Link will use I-Link Intranet Operations Centers ("NOCs") to monitor and maintain the I-Link Intranet. Successful management of the I-Link Intranet is critical to providing the highest level of support. The Communication Engine(TM) represents I-Link's patent pending technology. This technology provides the method which enables a conventional telephone or fax machine to communicate with another conventional telephone or fax machine via I-Link's proprietary Intranet (a data communication network similar to the Internet), that uses the TCP/IP communications protocol. TCP/IP is the communications protocol that allows a computer to access and communicate over data communication networks such as the I-Link Intranet as well as the Internet. Communication Engines are located at I-Link local sites which cover strategic local dialing areas and provide the service infrastructure. Thus, cost for the transmission is the user's cost of a local call plus access to the I-Link Intranet, similar to current computer access to the Internet. By way of illustration, a subscriber in Los Angeles wishing to call or send a fax from Los Angeles to Dallas simply dials the desired number in Dallas. The call or fax is immediately and transparently routed to a local Communication Engine located at I-Link's Los Angeles site. The Los Angeles Communication Engine receives the call or fax, then routes it for delivery by area code and local exchange prefix to the appropriate Communication Engine in Dallas via the I-Link Intranet. A local phone call to the recipient telephone or fax machine is placed by the Dallas Communication Engine, and the call or fax is delivered. A report of the transaction, including notification of receipt and/or any error handling, is sent to the Los Angeles subscriber. The Methodology. The I-Link Services are founded on patent pending technology that allows conventional telephones and fax machines to communicate via TCP/IP driven networks. This means that devices such as telephones or fax machines can be used as they currently are used, but users will no longer need to access communications lines that charge distance-based rates. A subscriber can call or transmit faxes via the I-Link Intranet outside local dialing areas for the cost of a local call. This technology is housed in an I-Link Communication Engine at an I-Link local site. In addition to connecting devices, the engine provides self-diagnostic software designed to prevent service failure. And, it stores data and statistics on account information and system usage, allowing I-Link to immediately monitor capacity and enhance functionality. The I-Link Network receives traffic from the public switched telephone network ("PSTN") as a TDM stream (time division multiplexing) and converts it to IP (internet/intranet protocol) data packets. The data is converted from the PCM (pulse code modulation) format standard to traditional telephony to an I-Link proprietary coding. The I-Link proprietary coding can distinguish among and handles voice, fax and modem communications differently. Voice is 35 compressed using a voice coder or codec, fax and modem traffic are demodulated/modulated. The data can then be stored (such as recording a message), altered (as in changing a fax call from 14400 BPS to 9600 BPS) or redistributed to multiple recipients (as in the case of conferencing). Market Opportunities Virtually every home and business in the United States today uses long-distance telephone services. Even though competition between the various providers of long-distance telephone services is intense, I-Link believes the significant cost savings that can be achieved through the deployment and implementation of the I-Link Network and technology, together with additional enhanced services that can be offered to the customer by virtue of the I-Link Intranet and technology, will make I-Link highly competitive in this marketplace. I-Link targets residential and small-business customers for its "I-Link" branded services through I-Link Worldwide, L.L.C., a nationwide, multi-level marketing and sales program. Marketing and sales of the "I-Link" branded products to larger business users will be carried out by traditional sales agents. I-Link wholesales its services on a non-branded basis to various distributors, aggregators, resellers and member organizations that then resell the products to both residential and business end-users. I-Link will also lease excess capacity on its network to long-distance carriers. Opportunity to Provide Substantial Savings to Users. Utilization of the I-Link Services will afford the opportunity to substantially reduce the long-distance telephone and data transmission charges presently borne by the current user of long-distance telephone and fax services. Charges for the use of land-line networks traditionally used in long-distance telecommunications are generally based on time and distance, often resulting in substantial long-distance charges. In contrast, the charges associated with the new data communications networks (such as I-Link's Intranet and the Internet) are generally fixed. Integration of Distinct Networks. There are currently a number of distinct information-transmission networks. Telephone, cable, wireless, and private and public networks are primary examples. Technologies supporting these networks will continue to integrate and evolve, allowing for previously unavailable opportunities for information distribution and access. The current business infrastructure presents impediments to the easy use of those networks. For example, in the fax industry there is a proliferation of fax or fax-like communication technologies, including fax machines, fax servers, fax software and e-mail. But these technologies are not well integrated; a party wishing to send information to others may have to format and send the data several different ways depending on the messaging equipment and systems available to the recipients. Opportunity to Deliver Enhanced Capabilities. The TCP/IP networking protocol and new transmission media such as are often associated with a data communications network such as I-Link's Intranet or the Internet ("Data Communications Network") offer the possibility of substantially reduced cost and improved data communication. However, as highlighted above, telephones and fax machines are not TCP/IP-enabled. In the past, in order to take full advantage of the TCP/IP protocol and the Data Communications Network, users first must own or have access to a computer, and then obtain access to the Data Communications Network. Therefore, telephones and fax machines have used traditional land-line telecommunications networks to transmit their voice and data. Charges for the use of those traditional networks are generally based on time and distance, often resulting in high long-distance charges. In contrast, the charges associated with the new Data Communications Networks are generally fixed. Market Response. Many of the responses seen in the marketplace to the opportunities discussed above are problematic in that they are often computer-oriented. Solutions typically require that a user (i) own a personal computer; (ii) have access to a Data Communications Network; and (iii) have software compatible with software other users own. This significantly limits the market for the solution. Moreover, the responses often follow a product approach rather than a service approach. The product approach, usually modeled after the same approach followed by computer software vendors, imposes further requirements on the user. The approach requires version management, with users required to ensure that their software is current; it requires training, and re-training as procedures change; and gives a customer an interface-driven product that often has more capacity than a user needs. I-Link's strategic response to the market is to provide, above all, a true service-based approach, providing customers access to a Data Communications Network via their existing telephones and fax machines and offering an array of enhanced services. 36 The Residential Market I-Link, through I-Link Worldwide, L.L.C., has targeted all residential users, initially throughout North America, through the establishment and implementation of a multi-level marketing and sales program, providing individuals the opportunity to earn commissions on the sale of the I-Link Services to their neighbors and acquaintances. A large amount of interest in I-Link has been generated throughout the multi-level, network marketing industry, and I-Link believes a significant market opportunity exists through the exploitation of this marketing and sales channel to reach a large number of potential residential customers. I-Link formally launched its multi-level sales operation and began marketing in this channel in June 1997. The Business Market Management of I-Link categorizes its domestic and international target user markets as follows: (i) small and medium sized businesses (less than 500 employees); (ii) large businesses (500 or more employees); and (iii) vertical markets. I-Link's primary target market consists of small and medium sized businesses. Small and medium-sized businesses often have a difficult time obtaining and using technology. Typically, they lack the resources and/or expertise needed to obtain strategic advantage from state-of-the-art technology. Although I-Link defines small and medium-sized businesses as businesses with less than 500 employees, it is also important to note that departments or offices within larger businesses may also be placed in this category. Larger businesses can dedicate resources and/or funds to technology customization or even technology development. Smaller businesses often must accept off-the-shelf solutions designed for general use. I-Link believes that its services are of significant strategic advantage to small businesses. Without having to adopt new technology or procedures, small and medium-sized businesses can immediately save money crucial to their bottom line. Large businesses and high-end national accounts (Fortune 2000) have significant long-distance telephone and fax traffic. Management believes those businesses could realize substantial savings from I-Link's services. Distribution Plan I-Link will target the following distribution methods: (i) multi-level marketing and sales program; (ii) direct sales using independent sales agents; (iii) selling through independent telephone company, or "Telco", resellers; (iv) acquisition of smaller carriers with established customer bases; (v) selling through Internet service providers ("ISPs"); (vi) selling through cable/broadcasting companies; (vii) selling through direct sales organizations; (viii) direct sales to top national accounts and vertical market resellers ("VMRs"); (ix) established channels of distribution in the retail computer/technology markets; (x) leveraging OEM channels; and (xi) telemarketing/telesales. Multi-Level Marketing and Sales Program. I-Link, through I-Link Worldwide, L.L.C., has targeted all residential and small-business users, initially throughout North America, through the establishment and implementation of a multi-level marketing and sales program, providing individuals the opportunity to earn commissions on the sale of the products to their neighbors and acquaintances. A large amount of interest in I-Link has been generated throughout the multi-level, network marketing industry, and I-Link believes a significant market opportunity exists through the exploitation of this marketing and sales channel to reach a large number of potential residential customers. I-Link formally launched its multi-level sales operation and commenced marketing in this channel in June 1997. Direct Sales. I-Link intends to use independent sales agents for direct sales of I-Link's products on a commission basis. Reselling. It is I-Link's intention to offer telephone service resellers, cable and broadcast companies, ISPs and direct sales organizations significant partnering opportunities. In January 1997 I-Link entered into a reseller agreement with WealthNet Corporation ("WealthNet") (a co-op member organization) under the terms of which I-Link sells its products and services to WealthNet, and WealthNet markets and resells these products and services to its members and potential WealthNet members. Other reseller agreements are currently in negotiation. By adding I-Link services to their current list of services, these potential partners enhance their competitive position in highly competitive and increasingly fragmented markets. 37 Acquisition of Smaller Carriers. In January 1997, the Company acquired Family Telecommunications Incorporated (now renamed I-Link Communications, Inc.), a regional long-distance carrier with an established customer base in excess of 17,000. This acquisition brought to I-Link an existing customer base, useful facilities and established industry relationships, and afforded FTI the means to differentiate and enhance the products and services it could offer to existing and potential customers in a highly competitive marketplace. I-Link believes that there exist numerous other local and regional carriers with established customer bases and facilities that could be acquired in the same manner. I-Link intends to continue to seek out these opportunities provided it is able to negotiate terms that are in the Company's best interest. Retail Channels. Suppliers of telecommunications equipment, such as office equipment stores, computer dealers, and office supply superstores represent a direct interface to many targeted I-Link customers. For example, over 20% of fax machines are purchased from office equipment dealers or supply superstores. This represents a significant, well-established channel for I-Link. I-Link can also create a fax driver that allows a customer to both subscribe to I-Link's service and interface with existing fax software. This gives I-Link a "fax service in a box" capability and a shelf presence. OEM Channels. Market building with OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) also represents significant opportunity to I-Link. Sales incentives will motivate OEMs to provide a highly targeted marketing channel for I-Link campaigns. Telemarketing. I-Link will use the telemarketing and telesales channel employed by many service providers. As in the example of current business communications providers, I-Link will directly contact customers in strategic markets, stressing the significant cost benefits associated with I-Link services while fielding sales inquiries derived from advertising. Technology Issues I-Link has established Communication Engines at strategic locations in the United States to allow subscribers to access I-Link's network locally, and intends to continue to establish Communication Engines in other strategic locations both in North America and worldwide as the customer base warrants. The I-Link Intranet is a high-speed interconnected network of Communication Engines. I-Link has created this network by leasing high-speed data lines and/or partnering with existing communications and Internet service entities that currently provide access to such lines. Capacity. Capacity, or lack thereof, is a frequently discussed topic with regard to data transmission via Data Communications Networks such as the Internet. "Slow service" resulting from inadequate capacity is one of the common complaints among Internet users. Capacity is a function of "bandwidth" on the network or the ability of the infrastructure to carry potentially large amounts of data to and from large numbers of users. The I-Link Intranet is leased from large IXCs with rigorous performance standards and managed by I-Link. In some cases, parts of the network may be contractually provided by other entities in the future. Management believes I-Link has the ability to monitor and manage all of its network capacity. I-Link Communication Engines monitor and store statistical capacity-related data. Transmission locations, transmission size, and transmission times are easily stored and accessed by the I-Link Intranet. An NOC monitors data and can immediately detect when utilization levels are high. I-Link can then add capacity as needed. Because I-Link data is associated with specific capabilities (e.g., faxes) and is transmitted between (and encoded and decoded by) I-Link Communication Engines, the type and purpose of the data is well understood and "overhead" bandwidth needs are better addressed. Data segmentation gives the Communication Engines additional ability to maximize capacity. As a result I-Link uses bandwidth up to four times as efficiently as traditional telephony and fax systems do over the same medium. Security. Security is a major concern associated with data transmission across Data Communications Networks. I-Link controls the routing of data from one Communication Engine to another. Management believes that I-Link's system provides a measure of security that actually makes phone and fax transmission more secure than using traditional facsimile methods. 38 Competition The market for business communications services is extremely competitive. I-Link believes that its ability to compete in I-Link's business successfully will depend upon a number of factors, including the pricing policies of competitors and suppliers; the capacity, reliability, availability and security of the I-Link Intranet infrastructure; market presence and channel development; the timing of introductions of new products and services into the industry; ease of access to and navigation of the Internet or other such Data Communication Networks; I-Link's ability in the future to support existing and emerging industry standards; I-Link's ability to balance network demand with the fixed expenses associated with network capacity; and industry and general economic trends. While I-Link believes there is currently no competitor in the North American market providing the same capabilities in the same manner as I-Link will offer using the I-Link Intranet, there are many companies that offer business communications services, and therefore compete with I-Link at some level. These range from large telecommunications companies and carriers such as AT&T, MCI, Sprint and LDDS/WorldCom, to smaller, regional resellers of telephone line access. These companies, as well as others, including manufacturers of hardware and software used in the business communications industry, could in the future develop products and services that compete with those of I-Link on a more direct basis. These entities are far better capitalized than I-Link and control significant market share in their respective industry segments. In addition, there may be other businesses that are attempting to introduce products similar to I-Link's for the transmission of business information over the Internet. There is no assurance that I-Link will be able to successfully compete with these market participants. Government Regulation General. Traditionally, the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC") has sought to encourage the development of enhanced services as well as Internet-based services by keeping such activities free of unnecessary regulation and government influence. Specifically in the area of telecommunications policy and the use of the Internet, the FCC has refused to regulate most online information services under the rules that apply to telephone companies. This approach is consistent with the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 ("1996 Act") which expresses a Congressional intent "to preserve the vibrant and competitive free market that presently exists for the Internet and other interactive computer services, unfettered by Federal or State regulation." Federal. The FCC does not regulate value-added networks ("VANs"), software or computer equipment that offer customers the ability to transport data or voice messages over telecommunications facilities. By definition, VAN operators purchase transmission facilities from "facilities-based" carriers and resell them packaged with packet transmission and protocol conversion services. Under current rules, such operators are excluded from regulation that applies to "telecommunications carriers" under Title II of the Communications Act. In the wake of the 1996 Act, however, the FCC is revisiting many of its past decisions and could impose common carrier regulation on the transport and resold telecommunications facilities used to provide telecommunications services as a part of an enhanced or information service package. The FCC also may conclude that I-Link's protocol conversions, computer processing and interaction with customer-supplied information are insufficient to afford the Company the benefits of the "enhanced service" classification, and thereby may seek to regulate the Company as a common carrier/telecommunications service provider. While there are no present indications that the FCC plans to make either of these determinations, such decisions are within the agency's statutory discretion and could affect the manner in which the Company conducts its business. To the extent I-Link customers move their services off the facilities of existing long distance carriers, and increase their reliance on the Internet for transmission, I-Link will continue to enjoy minimal federal regulation under current rules. Historically, the FCC has not regulated companies that provide the software and hardware for Internet telephony, or other Internet data functions, as common carriers or telecommunications service providers. Moreover, the FCC recently concluded that information and enhanced service providers are not required to contribute to federal universal service funding mechanisms. Notwithstanding the current state of the rules, the FCC's theoretical jurisdiction over the Internet is broad because the Internet relies on wire and radio communications facilities and services over which the FCC has long- 39 standing authority. The FCC's existing framework for "enhanced services" confirms that the FCC has authority to regulate these services, but provides that carrier-type regulation would not serve the public interest. Only recently has this general approach been questioned within the industry. In March 1996, for instance, America's Carriers Telecommunications Association ("ACTA"), a trade association primarily comprised of small and medium-size interexchange carriers, filed a petition with the FCC asking that the FCC regulate Internet telephony. ACTA argued that providers of software that enable real-time voice communications over the Internet should be treated as common carriers and subject to the regulatory requirements of Title II of the Communications Act. The FCC sought comment on the request and has not yet issued its decision. Any FCC determination that Internet-based service providers should be subject to some level of Title II regulation could affect the manner in which I-Link operates, to the extent it uses the Internet to provide facsimile or voice capabilities, as well as the costs of complying with federal common carrier requirements. With the passage of the 1996 Act, the precise dividing line or overlap between "telecommunications" and "information" services as applied to Internet-based service providers is uncertain. Consequently, I-Link's activities may be subject to evolving rules as the FCC addresses novel questions presented by the increased use of the Internet to offer services that appear functionally similar to traditionally-regulated telecommunications services. At this time, it is impossible to determine what effect, if any, such regulations may have on the future operation of the Company. State. While states generally have declined to regulate enhanced services, their ability to regulate the provision of intrastate enhanced services remains uncertain. The FCC originally intended to preempt state regulation of enhanced service providers, but intervening case law has cast doubt on the earlier decision. Moreover, some states have continued to regulate particular aspects of enhanced services in limited circumstances, e.g., to the extent they are provided by incumbent local exchange carriers. Whether the states within which I-Link makes its Intranet services capabilities available will seek to regulate I-Link's activities as a telecommunications carrier will depend largely on whether the states determine that there is a need for or other public benefits of such regulation. The staff of the Nebraska Public Service Commission, for example, recently informally concluded that an Internet telephony gateway service operated by a Nebraska Internet Service Provider was required to obtain state authority to operate as a telecommunications carrier. The FCC has authority to preempt state regulation that impedes competition; it has not, however, had occasion to consider this or similar decisions. Under certain circumstances, the FCC may have occasion to preempt state regulation. This issue has not yet been squarely placed before the FCC for resolution. Delivery of Services Over Existing Switched Telecommunications Networks Approximately half of I-Link's communications services are currently delivered over existing switched telecommunications networks through I-Link Communications, Inc. (formerly named Family Telecommunications Incorporated, and for clarity and ease of reference referred to herein as "FTI"). FTI is a long-distance telecommunications carrier that provides long-distance service to most states of the United States. In January 1997 FTI was acquired by the Company in a share exchange transaction. Through this acquisition FTI provided the Company with an existing customer base in excess of 17,000 and, through FTI's contractual agreements with MCI Telecommunications Corporation ("MCI") and telephone facilities and equipment owned and operated by FTI, access to the switched telephone network at favorable rates. Access to the switched telephone network is a necessary component of the I-Link Intranet in order for phone and fax transmissions to be routed to destinations in lesser populated geographic areas that are not serviced by one of I-Link's Communication Engines, which the Company estimates encompasses approximately 15% to 20% of users nationwide. In addition, the access to the switched telephone network at favorable pricing that FTI affords to I-Link permits I-Link to rapidly develop and expand its customer bases in given geographic areas across the switched telephone network until such time as management determines the size of the customer base and the capacity and timing of the deployment of the I-Link Intranet in the area can support the transfer of the customers from the switched telephone network to the I-Link Intranet. FTI was incorporated under the laws of the state of Utah in 1996, and maintains its principal place of business in Phoenix, Arizona. FTI also maintains facilities in Salt Lake City, Utah. Through its Carrier Agreement with MCI, 40 FTI provides 1-plus long-distance service, 800/888 service, worldwide calling card service, worldwide prepaid phone card service, long-distance cellular phone service, data line service and T-span service. By accessing the MCI network, services are available to telephone users in the 48 continental states. FTI is now in the process of obtaining state approval to offer its services in Alaska and Hawaii. Customers using Bell South, Bell Atlantic, Ameritech, GTE Corp., NYNEX Corp., Pacific Telesis Group, US West, Southwestern Bell, Sprint United LTD, SNET, ALLTEL Corp., Rochester Telephone Corp., Cincinnati Bell Telephone, and Citizens as their local telephone company are being offered the FTI long- distance programs. This represents approximately 97% of all telephone lines in the United States; however, there can be no assurance FTI will be successful in attracting new customers or increasing its market share. FTI currently maintains switch facilities in twelve states. This equipment allows FTI to offer additional services in the geographic areas in its home state and surrounding states, and to offer specialized services, including a variety of customized 800/888 services, voice mail, voice inter- active services, debit cards, travel cards and other customized services to its entire customer base. Approximately 89% of FTI's revenues for 1996 consisted of sales to one marketing group. The agreement between FTI and the marketing group was modified effective January 1, 1997 and terminates on December 31, 1997 with additional one-year terms unless either party gives the other party written notice of its intent not to renew. The terms of the agreement call for variable pricing based on volume, while the marketing group retains risks associated with collection from the consumer. Though the agreement with the marketing group is a significant portion of FTI's 1996 revenues, this agreement is expected to be of decreasing significance to the consolidated operations of the Company in the future. Telephony Industry Description & History The telecommunications industry today is an interconnected network consisting of four corporations (AT&T, MCI, Sprint and LDDS/WorldCom) that together control a significant majority of the interexchange market, and hundreds of smaller companies. In recent years, the industry has changed dramatically due to divestiture, deregulation, and technological innovation. For most of this century, the industry was divided between the Bell System, companies owned by or affiliated with AT&T, and the 1,600 or so local telephone independents, companies not affiliated with AT&T, but often components of large non-Bell holding companies. Although the independents served more geographic areas, the Bell System accounted for more than 80% of the telephones and provided most of the intermediate long-distance toll lines. In the 1970's, the picture began to change when several smaller companies began to offer long-distance services to customers in direct competition with AT&T, usually at lower prices. Due to this competition, the projected growth of the markets, and rapid technological changes, among other factors, the Department of Justice in 1974 filed an antitrust suit against AT&T alleging monopolistic practices. The settlement of the suit that occurred in January 1982 mandated that AT&T spin-off the local telephone companies into seven regional independent operating companies (the "Baby Bells") that would remain monopolies in their respective territories, but would be prohibited from selling long-distance services that crossed geographic boundaries, and permitted AT&T to keep its manufacturing, research and development, and interexchange assets. Beginning in 1984, the Baby Bells were required under the settlement to provide access to all long-distance carriers "equal in type, quality and price" to that provided to AT&T. The AT&T spin-off and the equal access regulation has enabled the long-distance telephone industry to experience significant growth. The telephone system that has been developed is referred to as a "switched network." In a switched network the phone call first goes from the terminal (the telephone, computer or printer) over local lines to a local switch (the local exchange). The telephone number dialed tells the switch whether the destination is inside or outside the exchange. If the call is directed to a phone within the exchange, the switch will send an electronic signal to the number being called. Once the phone is picked up, the connection is made. If the called number is outside the exchange, the switch will send the call signal over a trunk line to the switch in the correct exchange and that switch will signal the phone at the destination in order to make the connection. The central office is owned by the local phone company and contains switching equipment that is hardwired to every telephone in its area. In addition, it has trunk cables that connect the central office to other central offices. In a seven-digit telephone exchange number, the first three digits of every phone number designates the local area served by the central office. Several central offices, and, therefore, several exchange numbers, are grouped together to form calling areas serviced by the local phone company. 41 Often the telephone call is a destination number that crosses a boundary between groups of central offices, known as the Local Access and Transport Area (LATA). There are well over a hundred LATAs in the U.S. The area code dialed signals the local switch that an interexchange or inter-LATA or toll or long-distance call is to be terminated. The local switch then sends the call to a toll switch, which directs the call over toll, long-distance, or interexchange network lines to the toll switch at the destination city. That switch, in turn, directs the call to the proper local exchange switch which signals the phone at the number dialed. At present, most transmission on the local level is by means of copper wires, coaxial cable or fiber optics, but long-distance communication also takes place by means of wire cable, terrestrial or satellite radio, or by a combination of transmission media. The trend is to replace these other media with fiber optics for more flexible services. The most common method of making long-distance calls is to first dial a "1" plus the number to be called. The number includes an area code destination comprised of three digits, followed by the three digit telephone exchange and then the four digit location. The call goes first to the local phone company central office and then it is handed off to the long-distance carrier chosen by the customer. At the terminating end of the call, it is passed back to the local phone company in the terminating area code for completion. Both local telephone companies collect access charges from the long-distance carrier for these services. Whenever an interstate call is preceded by a "1" and an area code, the local phone company hands the call off to a long-distance carrier, who will complete the call. The local telephone company knows that a long-distance call must be handed off when the number dialed has ten digits. Although the telecommunications industry was originally developed to send electronic analog signals representing the speech pattern of the person talking, the industry is evolving from the analog pattern to a digital network. Digital lines provide higher quality service and, because of the computer technology, make it possible for switches and lines to handle many times more calls at one time than they could previously. The only significant part of the telephone system that is still analog today is from the phone to the central telephone office. While a monumental step, the AT&T breakup and the creation of the independent Regional Bell Operating Companies ("RBOCs") originally did nothing more than reshape the existing ownership. Initially, the breakup left AT&T with a near monopoly on long-distance service. It was the requirement of "equal access" that led to the birth of a competitive long-distance market in the U.S. As part of the settlement, the Department of Justice required that the Bell Operating Companies (BOCs) offer their customers access to all long-distance or interexchange carriers ("IXCs"), not just AT&T. Under "equal access," the phone subscribers were given the opportunity to preselect the "long line" carrier of their choice and, thereafter, to obtain from their BOC automatic access to that preselected IXC. With deregulation and its concomitant "equal access" requirement, the number of independent long-distance carriers in the United States has grown from the handful existing ten years ago to over 600 IXCs today, which control close to one-half the market share in terms of long-distance or interexchange minutes. The bulk of the market capture was accomplished by MCI, Sprint and LDDS/WorldCom through extensive and mass advertising campaigns and the ability to offer service throughout the entire U.S. These three carriers have priced their product at approximately the same price or just below that of AT&T. The smaller carriers have captured only a small portion of this new market. Management believes this is largely due to two factors. The first is the inability to offer service throughout the U.S. Instead, most small carriers can only offer service to a small geographic location and thus have a limited number of customers from which to draw. The second reason is the lack of resources to commit to large advertising campaigns. The smaller carriers have captured market share basically by offering prices that are substantially below those of the largest four carriers. The FCC has extensive authority to regulate long-distance carriers and has the power to review requests for interstate rate changes and other aspects of a carrier's operations. It has generally not exercised this power to review changes in the domestic charges of the smaller carriers that compete with the big four. The FCC has generally allowed competition to be the determinant of the prices these small competitors charge. Moreover, except in certain circumstances, the FCC increasingly has sought to reduce the level of regulation on all interstate service providers, including AT&T. In recent years, the European Commission has opened Europe's nationalized telecommunications industry to free market competition. Much like the AT&T breakup, the operation of basic local telephone services has been left 42 to each country's current national carrier, with "deregulation" focused on the more lucrative long-distance and value-added (e.g. data transmission) markets. Competition in the Switched Network Market FTI's competition in the switched network market is all other long-distance providers. Due to the number of regional and local carriers, the number of competitors varies by geographic region. However, the principal competition is the big four carriers, AT&T, MCI, Sprint, LDDS/WorldCom and local regional Bell companies. With these carriers controlling the vast majority of the market share throughout the U.S., the majority of the potential customers to which FTI's products and services are marketed to are customers of one of these carriers. The competitive advantages these four largest carriers have are primarily pervasive nationwide networks, name recognition, operating histories, and substantial advertising resources. Federal Regulation FTI competes in an industry that, to a large degree, continues to be regulated by federal and state governmental agencies. At approximately the same time as the required divestiture of the BOCs from AT&T in 1984, the FCC announced rules that were created to foster a self-regulating interstate telecommunications industry, relying upon competitive forces to keep rates and services in check. The FCC has regulatory jurisdiction over interstate and international telecommunications common carriers, including FTI. Since 1981, the FCC has sought to deregulate substantially the interstate activities of non-dominant interexchange carriers such as FTI. For instance, in addition to subjecting non-dominant carriers to streamlined regulation, on numerous occasions the FCC has attempted to exempt non-dominant carriers from federal tariffing requirements altogether. Most recently, the FCC sought to forebear from imposing tariffing requirements on the domestic telecommunications offerings of non-dominant carriers pursuant to Section 10 of the 1996 Act. The FCC's order taking this action, however, was stayed by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on February 13, 1997. FCC rules, therefore, continue to require interstate service providers to tariff their service offerings at the FCC. In addition to various annual filing requirements, interstate common carriers also are required by federal law to ensure that their rates are reasonable and do not discriminate unreasonably among and between similarly-situated customers. Moreover, facilities-based interstate carriers are subjected to additional reporting requirements not imposed on interstate service resellers. Interstate Access Transport Proceeding In an effort to encourage competition in the provision of interstate access services, the FCC granted increased pricing flexibility to its local exchange carriers for "access transport" services. Access transport refers to the connection provided by local exchange carriers between long distance carriers' long distance facilities and the customer's telephone. These rate structures previously were designed such that local telephone companies assessed an equal charge per unit of access to all long distance carriers, regardless of the volume of local access that these long distance carriers independently generated. Under the new FCC pricing plan, adopted in the fall of 1993, local telephone companies were allowed to offer more cost effective access to those long distance carriers with very high access volumes in a particular local market. Accordingly, long distance carriers with lesser access requirements, such as FTI, could experience increases in their overall average access cost relative to larger competitors. The FCC pricing plan implemented in the fall of 1993 was set to expire in November 1995. In principle, the plan has been extended pending implementation of the 1996 Act. Consideration of these issues has been delayed as the FCC has sought to meet tight statutory deadlines imposed by the 1996 Act on other matters. The FCC, however, is in the process of reconsidering the federal access charge regime in a pending rulemaking proceeding. The Company is unable to predict the course and effect of the FCC's actions on this issue at this time. 43 Recent Legislation In February 1996, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act") was signed into law. The purpose of the 1996 Act is to promote competition in all aspects of telecommunications. The 1996 Act requires telecommunications carriers to interconnect with other carriers and to provide for resale, number portability, dialing parity, access to rights-of-way and compensation for reciprocal traffic. Additionally, incumbent local exchange companies ("ILECs") are required to provide nondiscriminatory unbundled access, resale at wholesale rates and notice of changes that would affect interoperability of facilities and networks. In August 1996, the FCC adopted a national regulatory framework for implementing the local competition provisions of the 1996 Act, including adoption of rules delineating interconnection obligations of ILECs, unbundling requirements for ILEC network elements, requirements for access to local rights of way, dialing parity and telephone numbering and requirements for resale of and nondiscriminatory access to ILEC services. In many instances, the FCC left the task of implementing the FCC's regulatory standards to the individual states. Numerous states and ILECs have appealed the FCC's decisions and a judicial determination of the legality of the FCC's interconnections rules is pending at the United States Court of Appeals of the Eighth Circuit and there is currently a stay in place on many of the FCC's interconnection rules promulgated under the 1996 Act. A reversal of the legality of the FCC's decisions could affect the development of local competition in the markets in which FTI operates, as well as the pricing of services of interest to FTI. It also could affect FTI's future plans to expand into new markets to the extent efficient interconnection to local facilities is required for competitive market entry. Pursuant to Section 254 of the 1996 Act, the FCC also recently initiated a rulemaking to establish a new federal universal service mechanism, and state authorities are revisiting the method by which universal service is funded. The proceeding will determine the extent to which interstate carriers will be required to contribute to federal universal service funds, as well as their ability to draw universal service support. Resolution of the issues raised in this proceeding will affect the cost of providing interstate service and the way FTI conducts its business. The 1996 Act also provides that RBOCs may provide long distance service upon enactment that is out-of-region or incidental to: (1) audio/video programming; (2) Internet for schools; (3) mobile services; (4) information or alarm services; and (5) telecommunications signaling. In order for a BOC to provide in-region long distance service, the 1996 Act requires the BOC to comply with a comprehensive competitive checklist and expands the role of the U.S. Department of Justice in the FCC's determination of whether the entry of a BOC into the competitive long distance market is in the public interest. Additionally, there must be a real facilities-based competitor for residential and business local telephone service (or the failure of the potential providers to request access) prior to a BOC providing in-region long distance service. BOCs must provide long distance services through a separate subsidiary of at least three years. Until the BOCs are allowed into long distance or three years have passed, long distance carriers with more than five (5) percent of the nation's access lines may not jointly market BOC resold local telephone service, and states may not require the BOCs to provide intraLATA dialing parity. Telecommunications companies also may provide video programming and cable operators may provide telephone service in the same service area. The 1996 Act prohibits telecommunications carriers and cable operators from acquiring more than ten percent of each other, except in rural and other specified areas. The impact of the 1996 Act on FTI is unknown because a number of important implementation issues (such as the nature and extent of continued subsidiaries for local rates) still need to be decided by state or federal regulators. However, the 1996 Act offers opportunities as well as risks. The new competitive environment should lead to a reduction in local access fees, the largest single cost in providing long distance service today. For instance, as discussed above, the FCC has initiated a rulemaking to reform its system of interstate access charges to make the pricing of interstate access more compatible with the pricing principles of the 1996 Act and with federal and state actions to open local networks to competition. The FCC proceeding will affect the current pricing relationships between interstate carriers, such as FTI, and ILECs. Specifically, it will determine what is paid to the ILECs for access to their facilities and how it will be paid. While it is generally expected that access charges will decrease under the new rules, it is impossible to predict how the proposals may affect existing pricing relationships. 44 Moreover, the removal of the long distance restrictions on the BOCs is not anticipated to have an immediate significant impact on FTI because of the substantial preconditions that must be met before the BOCs can provide most in-region long distance services. Nevertheless, the entry of these local telephone companies into long distance telecommunications services could result in new competition and there is a possibility that the local telephone companies will be able to use local access to gain a competitive advantage over other long distance providers such as FTI. State Regulation In those states prohibiting intrastate resale, FTI may not engage in intrastate operations and in those states where intrastate resale is permitted (at least on an interLATA basis), FTI may be required to obtain state regulatory certification prior to commencing operations. As of December 31, 1996, FTI had received authorization to provide telecommunications services to its customers in approximately 34 states and is applying for authorization to provide telecommunications services to customers in other states. In addition, FTI is required to maintain on file at the state regulatory commissions in those states a tariff or schedule of its intrastate rates and charges. As FTI expands the geographic scope of its direct dial long distance business, it may be required to obtain additional state regulatory approvals to provide intrastate long distance services. Various state legislatures and public utility commissions are considering a variety of regulatory policy questions which could adversely affect FTI. At this time, however, it is impossible to determine what effect, if any, such regulations, including the cost of compliance with such regulations, may have on the operations of the Company. BUSINESS OF THE MEDICAL IMAGING DIVISION Radiological Diagnostic Services The majority of the Company's revenue in 1996 and 1995 was derived from owning and operating outpatient diagnostic imaging facilities in Florida. This revenue was primarily generated from two subsidiaries operating magnetic resonance imaging ("MRI") facilities. The Company is considering the sale of such business in light of the Company's focus on the business of I-Link; however, no final decision has been made with respect to any such sale and there can be no assurance that such business will be sold. On November 30, 1990, the Company closed on its limited partnership offering of Medcross Imaging, Ltd. ("Partnership"). The Partnership was formed for the purpose of purchasing a Philips T-5 MRI mounted in a mobile van to provide services to health care facilities on the southwest coast of Florida. The Partnership commenced operations in February 1991. During May and June 1992, in a series of individual transactions, the Company acquired an additional 26.75% ownership interest in the Partnership. Prior to the acquisitions, the Company had a 41.5% ownership interest. The Company increased its ownership of the Partnership to 80.75% on October 1, 1993 and 81.75% on October 1, 1994. The Partnership significantly upgraded the MRI to state-of-the-art performance in August 1993 at a cost of over $250,000. The upgraded machine can now produce better images in less time, thereby increasing the profit potential of the mobile unit. In June 1993, the Company purchased Waters Edge Scanning Associates, Ltd., renamed "Tampa MRI" after the acquisition. Serving the Tampa, Florida market, the acquisition of this facility was consistent with the Company's "cluster approach" of operating multiple MRIs in a single market or adjacent markets. After the acquisition was complete, this MRI was upgraded for higher efficiency and better images and the facility was remodeled. In October 1994, the Company closed on the acquisition of a 75% ownership interest in Urological Ultrasound Services of Tampa Bay ("UUSTB") from Urology Ultrasound, Inc. Prior to the acquisition, the Company owned the other 25% ownership interest in UUSTB. The total consideration given for the 75% partnership interest was $168,162. The purchase price was determined by arms length negotiation and was paid in cash at the closing. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. UUSTB was organized on September 9, 1987 and is in the business of providing mobile ultrasound services to urologic patients in west central Florida. When the Company acquired the 75% partnership interest in UUSTB from Urology Ultrasound, Inc., the partnership cased to exist, and the Company immediately transferred all assets and liabilities of the partnership, except cash of $115,603, to Urological 45 Ultrasound Services of Tampa Bay, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, formed for the purpose of this acquisition. Prior to the acquisition, the Company recorded its share of income and loss on its 25% ownership interest in UUSTB using the equity method. On May 1, 1995, the Company transferred all of the assets and certain liabilities of Urological Ultrasound Services of Tampa Bay, Inc. to Tampa MRI. Regulatory and Legislative Developments The Company's medical diagnostic businesses are subject to federal law and various federal and state regulations. While the Company believes that its operations comply with applicable regulations, the Company has not sought or received interpretive rulings to that effect. Additionally, there can be no assurance that subsequent laws, subsequent changes in present laws or interpretation of laws will not adversely affect the Company's operations. During the past several years, there has been increasing pressure from federal and state regulatory and legislative bodies to prevent physicians from referring patients to diagnostic imaging facilities in which they have an ownership interest. Many prominent physicians, legislators, medical ethicists, and others feel that ownership of imaging facilities can impair a physician's judgment about the need for a diagnostic test. Studies have shown that physicians who have an ownership interest in imaging facilities tend to refer more patients for diagnostic testing than physicians who have no ownership interest. On the federal level, a physician self-referral bill was signed by President Clinton in 1993. The bill bans physicians from referring Medicare patients to imaging and almost any other type of diagnostic or therapeutic outpatient medical facility in which they have an ownership or financial interest, effective January 1, 1995. Many states, including Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, and New Jersey, have passed laws regarding physician self- referral. Some simply require disclosure of ownership, while others restrict physicians from referring to facilities in which they have an ownership interest. The Florida legislature enacted the Patient Self-Referral Act of 1992, effective April 8, 1992. This Act prohibits physician self-referral to health care entities in which such physicians have a financial interest, effective October 1, 1994. Management believes these legislative and regulatory actions should have no material adverse effect upon the Company's existing operations. However, the Self-Referral Act also imposed a fee cap, effective July 1, 1992, limiting the technical and professional fees of all providers of "clinical laboratory services, physical therapy services, comprehensive rehabilitative services, diagnostic imaging services, and radiation therapy services" to no more than 115% of the Medicare limiting charge for non-participating physicians. The statute specifically excludes hospitals and physician group practices from the fee cap provision and does not apply to patients eligible for Medicaid or Medicare reimbursement. Several lawsuits have been filed by various providers against the State of Florida in both federal and state court alleging, among other things, that the fee cap provision violates the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution and seeking to enjoin the state from enforcing the fee cap provision. In July 1992, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida granted a permanent injunction in a case entitled Panama City Medical Center, Ltd., et al. vs. Robert B. Williams, et al. The State of Florida appealed the decision granting the injunction and, on February 15, 1994, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit reversed the decision of the lower court, finding that the fee cap provision did not violate the Equal Protection Clause and ruling that the entry of the injunction was in error. A motion for rehearing filed in the action has been denied and a petition has been filed seeking appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. On June 30, 1992, the Florida Circuit Court, Second Judicial Circuit, enjoined the State of Florida from enforcing the fee cap provision. The Company intervened as a party plaintiff in the state court action. An injunction has been obtained preventing the State of Florida from enforcing the fee cap. The State of Florida appealed the issuance of that injunction. However, the Florida Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal and the Circuit Court action has been dismissed. The ultrasound services provided by the Company are related specifically to urology. Approximately 80% of the Company's patients are covered by Medicare. Therefore, changes in Medicare reimbursement rules and regulations may have a significant impact on the profitability of the Company's ultrasound operations. Reimbursement rates for procedures are set annually. The 1996 reimbursement rates for the procedures primarily performed by the Company were increased from between 1.7% to 2.1% over 1995's reimbursement rates. 46 On March 20, 1995, the Florida Medicare Part B carrier issued a Final Local Medical Review Policy regarding procedures that can be billed by independent physiological laboratories ("IPL"), the classification of the Company's ultrasound operations. These changes do not allow the IPLs to receive reimbursement from Medicare for the procedures performed by the Company after April 30, 1995. On May 1, 1995, the Company transferred its ultrasound operations to Tampa MRI. Health Care Industry Competition It is common for hospitals, physicians, physician groups, and others in the health care field to form ventures to own and operate medical equipment. The Company is in competition with such groups. There are many companies offering general business consulting services. The companies that may compete with the Company in the future and that currently offer consulting services may be larger and have far greater financial resources than the Company. Also, if the cost of a particular medical device is reduced and the utilization by physicians increases, more hospitals will be able to afford to acquire their own equipment rather than receive service on a shared basis. Magnetic Resonance Imaging MRI is a multi-billion dollar industry that has rapidly gained acceptance by physicians throughout the nation. MRI is the imaging modality of choice for soft tissue in the head, neck and spine. Over 3,000 MRI units have been installed in hospitals, outpatient diagnostic imaging centers, physicians' offices, and in mobile vehicles. At an estimated average of $900 per procedure, the MRI market in the United States generates over $6 billion annually. New uses for MRI are continually being developed. MRI is being used to a greater degree than ever before to scan shoulders, knees, ankles, elbows, breasts, and even the cardiac system. The revenue from MRI services accounted for 70% of total revenue of the Company in 1996 and 1995. Contracts with two hospitals that accounted for 41% and 40% of the revenue from MRI services in 1996 and 1995, respectively, were due to expire on February 28, 1996. On December 5, 1995, the Company renewed the contracts with the two hospitals effective October 1, 1995. The agreements are substantially similar to the prior arrangements except with respect to a change in the minimum arrangement and a reduction in per patient charges. These contracts expired on February 28, 1997 and the Company intends to pursue the retail MRI segment of the market although there can be no assurance the Company will be able to do so. Many of the MRI systems placed into operation in the market area of the Company's existing MRI centers were purchased and operated by physicians. For some physicians, it was the only way to gain access to this expensive technology. For others, it was an opportunity to invest in a technology that they use to help diagnose their patients' medical problems. The Company competes for patient referrals from physicians with the other MRI centers located in its immediate market area. Because physicians can no longer refer to entities in which they have an ownership interest, the physicians have no financial predisposition to refer to a given center. The Company's ability to obtain referrals will be based upon the quality of its service and its ability to obtain contracts to treat managed care patients. Three new MRI centers have recently begun operations in the market area of Medcross Imaging, Ltd., which will have a significant effect on the Company's ability to pursue the retail MRI segment of the market. Tampa MRI has obtained over 40 managed care contracts during 1996. While this has reduced the average per-patient charges, it has increased the number of patients treated. Ultrasound On May 1, 1995, the Company transferred all of its ultrasound operations to Tampa MRI. The ultrasound services are provided at each physician's office under the physician's direction. The Company is not looking to expand its operations outside of the current market area. There are two main competitors in the Company's market area. Management believes that it will maintain its referrals with the physicians offices and may even gain additional physician referrals through its marketing efforts. 47 Therapeutic Services In the late 1980s, the Company was one of the industry leaders, providing mobile kidney lithotripsy service throughout the southeastern United States. Kidney lithotripsy is a non-invasive technique using shock waves to disintegrate kidney stones. Other forms of kidney stone treatment include surgical removal, drug treatment, endoscopic treatment, laser lithotripsy and percutaneous treatment. The advantage of lithotripsy over surgery is that it can be performed on an outpatient basis in about one hour at less than the cost of the typical surgical procedure. In addition, lithotripsy has fewer complications or side effects, less pain, and a substantially shorter recovery period. The Company put the world's first mobile kidney lithotripter into operation in 1986. During the next two years, the Company developed four additional mobile kidney lithotripsy networks. In 1986, the Company coordinated the development of one of the leading outpatient lithotripsy centers in the nation which the Company managed under a management agreement. In 1992, 65% of the ownership in the facility was sold to CORAM, a publicly held corporation. In 1994, the Company's responsibilities under the management agreement were reduced to providing financial services. The annual revenue from this management contract was also reduced from an average of approximately $180,000 to $47,100 per year. In 1995, the remaining 35% of the ownership in the facility was sold to CORAM. In August 1995, the management agreement was terminated. The Company has management agreements with three other owners of mobile kidney lithotripters that operate in seven different states. The Company provides turn-key operations, management, and financial services under its agreements with the owning entities. The Company also provides the trained technicians who operate the lithotripters and, when requested, the drivers who transport the equipment between the using facilities. The Company does not expect any expansion or new development efforts in the lithotripsy area. The Company had a 70% ownership interest in International Prostate Partners, formed in 1992. International Prostate Center - Cayman, Ltd., a wholly owned Cayman Island subsidiary of International Prostate Partners, provided transurethral microwave therapy ("TUMT") services in Georgetown, Grand Cayman, for patients with benign prostate hyperplasia ("BPH"). The Company contracted to provide a full range of management services, beginning in 1993, to International Prostate Partners and International Prostate Center - Cayman, Ltd. Operations began in January 1994. The patient case load was insufficient to support operating expenditures. Therefore, the operations were closed down and the equipment put in storage pending FDA approval. In August 1, 1995, the Company sold its interest in the partnership and its Management Agreement was terminated. In May 1996, the manufacturer received FDA approval. The Company has proposed this technology to its existing lithotripsy clients; however, any decisions to be made are pending Medicare reimbursement approval. No assurance can be given by the Company as to when, or if Medicare reimbursement approval will be received. Foreign Sales and Service of Diagnostic Imaging Equipment In January 1993, the Company formed Medcross Asia, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary headquartered in Hong Kong. This subsidiary was formed to identify opportunities for the Company to enter the medical field in the Far East. On January 7, 1994, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with China National Medical Equipment and Supplies Import & Export Shenyang Corporation ("CNMC"). The joint venture company, Shenyang Medcross Huamei Medical Equipment Company, Ltd. ("SMHME") is located in the People's Republic of China. SMHME is 51% owned by the Company and 49% owned by CNMC. SMHME imports used and refurbished CT scanners for resale to hospitals in the province of Shenyang. SMHME also provides warranty service, including parts and labor, for the machines it sells and intends to provide warranty service for other machines already existing in the province. The Company's responsibilities include locating, purchasing, refurbishing, and shipping used medical equipment to SMHME. CNMC was required to contribute $380,000 in cash to SMHME of which $260,417 has been contributed. The Company contributed CT scanner equipment and parts with an agreed upon value of $390,000 and a cost basis of $251,972 to SMHME. The Company opened an office in Beijing to sell and service used CT scanning equipment in the People's Republic of China outside the province of Shenyang. In May 1995, the Company closed its Beijing office and is actively pursuing the sale of such operations. 48 DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY In September 1996, I-Link entered into a lease for 14,000 square feet of space for its offices and other facilities in Draper, Utah pursuant to a commercial lease dated September 11, 1996.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS A Complaint was filed on April 12, 1996, by JW Charles Financial Services, Inc. ("JW Charles") against the Company in Palm Beach County Florida Circuit Court, JW Charles Financial Services, Inc. v. Medcross, Inc., Case No: CL96-3218. JW Charles previously was issued a Common Stock Purchase Warrant ("Settlement Warrant") on or about November 3, 1994 by the Company. The Settlement Warrant granted JW Charles the right to purchase from the Company 250,000 shares (331,126 as adjusted) of the Company's Common Stock (the "Settlement Shares") subject to adjustment. On or about February 12, 1996, JW Charles made written demand to the Company to invoke its rights to have the Settlement Shares registered pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Warrant. The Complaint alleged that the Company breached the terms of the Settlement Warrant by failing to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a registration statement covering such shares. JW Charles alleged a breach of contract and requested specific performance, i.e., registering the shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission, against the Company. JW Charles also demanded damages in the amount of $2,728,478 plus interest, reasonable attorneys fees, and forum costs. On April 29, 1997, the Company executed a settlement agreement relating to the settlement of the JW Charles lawsuit. The lawsuit was dismissed upon payment of $600,000 to JW Charles in consideration for the purchase of the Settlement Warrant. The Settlement Warrant was purchased by an investor group (the Hardy Group) led by the Company's general counsel and its treasurer and chief financial officer. The Company's funds were not used in the JW Charles Settlement. In connection with the purchase of the Settlement Warrant, the Company granted certain additional consideration to the Hardy Group, including new warrants to purchase 175,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to or in excess of the conversion price of the Class C Preferred Stock (i.e., $2.50 per share). Such warrants have registration rights and anti-dilution provisions and are included in the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part. 49 1996 OFFERINGS 10% Notes Offering Simultaneous with the closing of the I-Link Acquisition in February 1996, the Company completed a private placement of $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of convertible promissory notes (the "10% Notes"). The 10% Notes were payable upon the earlier of August 31, 1996 (subject to extension) or the Company's receipt of proceeds of at least $4,000,000 from subsequent debt or equity offerings. The 10% Notes bore interest payable semi-annually at the rate of 10%. Up to $1,250 of each $50,000 in principal amount of the 10% Note was convertible at any time at the option of the holder, into an aggregate of 350,000 shares of Common Stock at the rate of approximately $.0714 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments; and such principal amount was converted in August 1996. The proceeds of the 10% Notes Offering were used to pay outstanding accounts payable and other debts of I-Link. Commonwealth served as placement agent for the 10% Notes and received a placement agent fee equal to 10% of the purchase price of the 10% Notes Offering sold ($100,000) and a $20,000 expense reimbursement to cover legal fees. Class C Offering On September 6, 1996, the Company closed a private placement of 240,000 shares of Class C Preferred Stock, $10 par value per share, at $60 per share. Each share of Class C Preferred Stock entitles the holder to receive a quarterly dividend of $1.20 (8% per annum) payable in cash or, at the option of the Company, in shares of Common Stock of the Company. Unless previously redeemed, the Class C Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Conversion Shares"), at the option of the holder, commencing November 21, 1996, into such number of shares of the Company's Common Stock as shall equal $60 divided by the lower of (i) $2.50 or (ii) the closing bid price for any five consecutive trading days during the period commencing on September 6, 1996 and ending eighteen months thereafter (the "Conversion Price"). Unless previously redeemed, the shares of the Class C Preferred Stock are automatically converted into the Conversion Shares on September 6, 2002 at a Conversion Price equal to the lower of the then current Conversion Price or 50% of the average closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock for the 10 trading days immediately preceding September 6, 2002. In addition, the Company issued $717,000 of principal amount of Convertible Promissory Notes payable on April 1, 1997 (the "Maturity Date") and bearing interest at 8% per annum (previously defined as the "Convertible Notes"). The Convertible Notes provide for the accrual of interest at the simple annual rate of 8%, payable quarterly (18% following the Event of Default which remains uncured). The unpaid principal balance of the Convertible Notes may be prepaid by the Company without penalty upon 30 days' notice to the holder; provided, however, that certain conditions be met. The unpaid principal amount of a Convertible Note will be automatically converted into shares of Class C Preferred Stock at any time prior to the close of business on the Maturity Date at the rate of $60 per share of Class C Preferred Stock upon certain conditions being met. See "Description of Securities--Convertible Promissory Notes." The Company received net proceeds of approximately $12.3 million from the Class C Offering, after commissions and other expenses related to the offering. As a result of the closing of the private placement, 1.6 million shares of the Company's restricted Common Stock held in escrow for the benefit of the former shareholders of I-Link have been released from escrow, in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement between I-Link and the Company. Upon such release, the Company recorded acquired in-process research and development expense of $14.6 million in fiscal 1996, and an increase to paid-in capital of $12.6 million in fiscal 1996. The final one million shares held in escrow were released in August 1997 as a result of satisfaction of certain revenue targets, resulting in an increase in intangible assets and paid-in capital of $8,875,000. Commonwealth Associates (previously defined and hereinafter referred to as "Commonwealth"), acted as the placement agent for the Class C Offering. Commonwealth received a commission equal to seven percent (7%) of the 50 aggregate purchase price of the shares of Class C Preferred Stock and Convertible Notes sold, a non-accountable expense allowance equal to three percent (3%) of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Class C Preferred Stock and Convertible Notes and certain other specified offering-related costs. In addition, the Company granted Commonwealth a right of first refusal to underwrite or place any future public or private sale of debt or equity securities or any such sale by certain principal shareholders of the Company, its subsidiaries and successors, for a period of five years after the closing of the Class C Offering. The Company issued to Commonwealth Warrants to purchase up to 250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock and Consultant's Warrants to purchase up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock (together previously defined as the "Commonwealth Warrants"). The Commonwealth Warrants will be exercisable for five (5) years commencing March 1997 at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, subject to adjustment. See "Description of Securities--Commonwealth Warrants." The Company also entered into a Consulting Agreement with Commonwealth, pursuant to which: (i) the Company shall employ Commonwealth as its investment banker and financial consultant for a period of twelve (12) months; (ii) the Company paid Commonwealth a fee of $200,000, plus 2% of the gross proceeds of the Class C Offering in excess of $10,000,000, for such twelve (12) month period; and (iii) the Company agreed to pay Commonwealth a fee of five percent (5%) of the first $5,000,000 and two and one-half percent (2-1/2%) of the amount over $5,000,000 of the consideration paid or received by the Company (or by any affiliated entity of the Company) in any transaction (including mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and other business transactions) consummated by the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company introduced to the Company by Commonwealth. Commonwealth designated Joseph Cohen for election to the Board of Directors of the Company, and designated Michael Falk as a non-voting advisor to the Board of Directors. In addition, Commonwealth was granted the right to approve the Company's selection of a second outside director to be nominated for election at the next annual or special meeting of stockholders. To date no individual has been named by Commonwealth to be its second designated member of the Board of Directors. See "Management." Commonwealth also arranged bridge financings for the Company in the amount of $375,000 and was paid $37,500 in commissions from the proceeds of the Class C Offering. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions," "Description of Securities" and "Selling Securityholders" for a description of the acquisition of certain securities by Commonwealth and associates and affiliates of Commonwealth. 51 MANAGEMENT The directors and executive officers of the Company are:

1 The calculations of the value of unexercised options are based on the difference between the closing bid price on Nasdaq of the Common Stock on December 31, 1996, and the exercise price of each option, multiplied by the number of shares covered by the option. Director Compensation During 1996, Directors of the Company then serving received options to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock on the first business day of January at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Mr. Cohen received options to purchase 64,000 shares of Common Stock upon his appointment to the Board. Effective February 6, 1997 and the first business day of January of each year thereafter, each Director then serving will receive options, to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock and, for each committee on which the Director serves, options to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock. The exercise price of such options shall be equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. The Directors are also eligible to receive options under the Company's stock option plans at the discretion of the Board of Directors. 56 Employment Agreements In February 1996, the Company entered into two-year employment agreements with Henry Y.L.

To the extent vested, the options may be exercised commencing June 30, 1997. The options vest on June 30, 2001; provided however, that vesting will accelerate in 25% increments at such time as the average closing bid price of a share of Common Stock equals or exceeds $10, $15, $20 and $25, respectively.

Director Stock Option Plan The Company's Director Stock Option Plan (the "DSOP") authorizes the grant of stock options to directors of the Company. Options granted under the DSOP are non-qualified stock options exercisable at a price equal to the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the date of any such grant. Options granted under the DSOP are exercisable not less than six (6) months nor more than ten (10) years after the date of grant. As of December 31, 1996, options for the purchase of 8,169 shares of Common Stock at prices ranging from $.875 to $3.875 per share were outstanding. As of December 31, 1996, options to purchase 15,228 shares of Common Stock have been exercised. In connection with adoption of the 1995 Director Plans (as hereinafter defined) the Board of Directors authorized the termination of future grants of options under the DSOP; however, outstanding options granted under the DSOP will continue to be governed by the terms thereof until exercise or expiration of such options. Stock Purchase Plan In accordance with the Employee Qualified Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan"), employees may contribute up to ten percent of their base wages toward the purchase of Common Stock. The exercise price of options granted under the Purchase Plan is the lesser of 85% of the market value on the first business day of the payment period (September 1) or the last business day of the payment period (August 31). As of December 31, 1996, the Company had 35,146 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance on exercise of the purchase rights granted under the Purchase Plan. 1995 Director Stock Option Plan In October 1995, the stockholders of the Company approved adoption of the Company's 1995 Director Stock Option and Appreciation Rights Plan, which plan provides for the issuance of incentive options, non-qualified options and stock appreciation rights (the "1995 Director Plan"). The 1995 Director Plan provides for automatic and discretionary grants of stock options which qualify as incentive stock options (the "Incentive Options") under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), as well as options which do not so qualify (the "Non-Qualified Options") to be issued to directors. In addition, stock appreciation rights (the "SARs") may be granted in conjunction with the grant of Incentive Options and Non-Qualified Options. No SARs have been granted to date. The 1995 Director Plan provides for the grant of Incentive Options, Non-Qualified Options and SARs to purchase up to 250,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits and other similar events). To the extent that an Incentive Option or Non-Qualified Option is not exercised within the period of exercisability specified therein, it will expire as to the then-unexercised portion. If any Incentive Option, Non-Qualified Option or SAR terminates prior to exercise thereof and during the duration of the 1995 Director Plan, the shares of Common Stock as to which such option or right was not exercised will become available under the 1995 Director Plan for the grant of additional options or rights to any eligible employees. The shares of Common Stock subject to the 1995 Director Plan may be made available from either authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, or both. The 1995 Director Plan also provides for the grant of Non-Qualified Options on a non-discretionary basis pursuant to the following formula: each member of the Board of Directors then serving shall receive a Non-Qualified Option to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value per share of the Common Stock on that date. Pursuant to such formula, directors received options to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock as of October 17, 1995, options to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock on January 2, 1996, and will receive options to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock on the first business day of each January. Each option is immediately exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of grant. The Company has 250,000 shares 59 of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 1995 Director Plan. As of December 31, 1996, options exercisable to purchase 190,000 shares of Common Stock at prices ranging from $1.00 to $1.25 per share are outstanding under the 1995 Director Plan. As of December 31, 1996, options to purchase 40,000 shares have been exercised under the 1995 Director Plan. 1995 Employee Stock Option Plan In October 1995, the stockholders of the Company approved adoption of the Company's 1995 Employee Stock Option and Appreciation Rights Plan (the "1995 Employee Plan"), which plan provides for the issuance of Incentive Options, Non- Qualified Options and SARs. Directors of the Company are not eligible to participate in the 1995 Employee Plan. The 1995 Employee Plan provides for the grant of stock options which qualify as Incentive Stock Options under Section 422 of the Code, to be issued to officers who are employees and other employees, as well as Non-Qualified Options to be issued to officers, employees and consultants. In addition, SARs may be granted in conjunction with the grant of Incentive Options and Non-Qualified Options. No SARs have been granted to date. The 1995 Employee Plan provides for the grant of Incentive Options, Non-Qualified Options and SARs of up to 400,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits and other similar events). To the extent that an Incentive Option or Non-Qualified Option is not exercised within the period of exercisability specified therein, it will expire as to the then-unexercised portion. If any Incentive Option, Non-Qualified Option or SAR terminates prior to exercise thereof and during the duration of the 1995 Employee Plan, the shares of Common Stock as to which such option or right was not exercised will become available under the 1995 Employee Plan for the grant of additional options or rights to any eligible employee. The shares of Common Stock subject to the 1995 Employee Plan may be made available from either authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, or both. The Company has 400,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 1995 Employee Plan. As of December 31, 1996, options to purchase 400,000 shares of Common Stock with exercise prices of $1.125 to $6.75 per share have been granted under the 1995 Employee Plan. As of December 31, 1996, no options have been exercised under the 1995 Employee Plan. 1997 Recruitment Stock Option Plan In October 1997, the stockholders of the Company approved adoption of the Company's 1997 Recruitment Stock Option and Appreciation Rights Plan, which plan provides for the issuance of incentive options, non-qualified options and stock appreciation rights (the "1997 Plan"). The 1997 Plan provides for automatic and discretionary grants of stock options which qualify as incentive stock options (the "Incentive Options") under Section 422 of the Code, as well as options which do not so qualify (the "Non-Qualified Options") to be issued to directors. In addition, stock appreciation rights (the "SARs") may be granted in conjunction with the grant of Incentive Options and Non-Qualified Options. No SARs have been granted to date. The 1997 Plan provides for the grant of Incentive Options, Non-Qualified Options and SARs to purchase up to 4,400,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits and other similar events). To the extent that an Incentive Option or Non-Qualified Option is not exercised within the period of exercisability specified therein, it will expire as to the then-unexercised portion. If any Incentive Option, Non-Qualified Option or SAR terminates prior to exercise thereof and during the duration of the 1997 Plan, the shares of Common Stock as to which such option or right was not exercised will become available under the 1997 Plan for the grant of additional options or rights to any eligible employees. The shares of Common Stock subject to the 1997 Plan may be made available from either authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, or both. As of December 31, 1996, there were no options outstanding under the 1997 Plan. 60 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS During the first quarter of fiscal year 1995, the Company received advances totaling $218,000 from Mortgage Network International ("MNI"). Henry Y.L. Toh, a Director of the Company, has management control over MNI. Such advances were previously payable upon demand. Subsequent to the extension of such advances, the Board of Directors approved delivery of a promissory note representing the aggregate amount of such advances, which promissory note matured by its terms on October 1, 1995 and bears interest at one percent over the prime rate of interest established by Southwest Bank of Texas, N.A. Subsequently, the Company and MNI modified the note such that: (i) interest thereon is payable monthly at the rate of 10.5%; and (ii) the remaining principal amount of $218,000 (including a principal payment previously due on December 31, 1996) with interest thereon at the rate of 10.5% will be paid in 21 equal monthly payments of approximately $4,600. I-Link was a party to a 12-month consulting agreement with Benchmark dated August 10, 1995 pursuant to which I-Link was obligated to pay $6,000 per month to Benchmark for consulting services rendered. Those payments accrued and were deferred pending the Company's attaining stockholder's equity of at least $2.5 million. The sums due were paid and the agreement has not been renewed. I-Link entered into a consulting agreement with T6-G Limited Partnership ("T6-G") for two years commencing upon the successful completion of at least $4 million in funding. The agreement required the payment of a total of $70,000 payable monthly over 24 months. I-Link discharged the entirety of the sums due in September 1996 and T6-G designated such sums to be allocated to its purchase of Class C Preferred Stock. See "Selling Securityholders." I-Link was indebted to T6-G in the amount of $300,000, which sums were repaid in full from the proceeds of the Class C Offering. T6-G owns a 9.5% interest in I-Link, Ltd. See "1996 Offerings" and "Selling Securityholders." The Company also entered into two consulting agreements with Jason H. Pollak, the initial term of one of which expired on January 31, 1996 and the second of such agreements commenced thereafter. The term of the second agreement was for a period of three years, subject to earlier termination by the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the first of such agreements (collectively, the "Pollak Agreements"), Mr. Pollak received 50,000 shares of Common Stock. The second of the Pollak Agreements provided Mr. Pollak with an option to purchase up to 50,000 shares of Common Stock each year at prices of $1.50, $2.50 and $3.50, respectively. The second of the Pollak Agreements was terminated by the Company on March 5, 1996 (upon thirty days' advance notice which renders such termination effective April 4, 1996). The shares of Common Stock subject to the Pollak Agreement have been included in a registration statement on Form S-8. In January 1996, certain associates and affiliates of Commonwealth purchased an aggregate of 878,891 shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Class A Preferred Stock held by Walnut Capital Corp. ("WCC"), Windy City, Inc. ("WCI") and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce Trust Company (Bahamas) Limited at a cost per share of approximately $0.49. Joel Kanter, a director of the Company at the time of the transaction, is affiliated with WCC and WCI. See "Description of Securities--Kanter Shares." On February 21, 1996, Four M International, Ltd. ("Four M"), a principal shareholder of the Company, granted certain options to purchase shares of the Company owned by Four M exercisable commencing July 1, 1996 (subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions) to purchase 3,915,570 shares of Common Stock. Henry Y.L. Toh, a director of the Company, is one of the two directors of Four M. The exercise price of $1.79 per share represents the lesser of 200% of the average of the closing bid and ask price per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) business days preceding July 1, 1996 or $1.79 per share. Commonwealth and affiliates or associates thereof received the right to purchase 545,285 shares of Common Stock prior to December 31, 1996 and 537,500 shares of Common Stock prior to December 31, 1997.

On February 21, 1996, I-Link 61 agreed to pay an aggregate of $1,275 to Four M by Mr. Cook on or before July 1, 1996. On April 24, 1996, the Four M Options issued to Mr. Cook were cancelled and options were issued as of that date by Four M to Mr. Cook (50,000 shares), S.C. Culbreth (25,000 shares) and John Beardmore (25,000 shares). In August 1996, the Four M Options were amended to provide that in the event that $200,000 in principal amount (i.e., exercise proceeds) of the Four M Options have been exercised prior to December 31, 1996, the exercise period of the remaining Four M Options exercisable during 1996 (the "1996 Four M Options") will be extended to September 6, 1997 and the exercise price would be increased by four percent (4%) of the then current exercise price for each 30 day period or portion thereof commencing January 1, 1997 in which the remainder of the 1996 Four M Options are not exercised. In December 1996, Four M Options to purchase the following shares were exercised by the following persons: 25,000 shares by Scott Cook, 12,500 shares by John Beardmore, 12,500 shares by S.C. Culbreth, 30,726 shares by Benchmark, 46,509 shares by Commonwealth and 15,503 shares by William Baquet.

See "Description of Securities--Four M Options." On February 21, 1996, R. Huston Babcock, M.D., a director of the Company, granted certain options to Benchmark exercisable commencing July 1, 1996 (subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions) to purchase 183,542 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding Class B Convertible Preferred Stock.

Benchmark received the right to purchase 91,771 shares of Common Stock prior to December 31, 1996, which options have expired, and the right to purchase 91,771 shares prior to December 1997.

In connection with such loan, the Company agreed to issue Mr. Flury a warrant to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock for two years at $2.50 per share. The Company recorded additional interest expense of $11,875 in connection with the transaction. The funds from the loan were used for general working capital purposes of I-Link.

In September 1996, the Company advanced the sum of $685,000 to FTI to be used by FTI to acquire from Harris Corporation certain items of telecommunications switches known as "Harris switches." FTI is an authorized Harris reseller and was able to obtain favorable pricing for these switches. These Harris switches are included in the equipment covered by the IBM operating lease, and IBM will pay FTI for the switches as a vendor, and lease them to I-Link. As of December 31, 1996, the remaining portion of the advance was $120,000. The majority owner of FTI 62 is Robert W. Edwards, Jr., brother of John W. Edwards, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. Effective January 1, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of FTI. See "The Company." On April 29, 1997 the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement ("Settlement Agreement") with JW Charles, pursuant to which the Company and JW Charles settled certain litigation between them. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed (a) to pay or cause JW Charles to be paid the sum of six hundred thousand dollars ($600,000); and (b) to terminate a financial consulting agreement between the parties (the "1994 Consulting Agreement"); concurrently JW Charles agreed (c) to transfer to the Company or its designees and/or assignees all of its right, title and interest to a warrant (the "Settlement Warrant") representing the right to purchase shares of Common Stock, which warrant had been issued pursuant to the 1994 Consulting Agreement, (d) to deliver to the Company the Settlement Warrant with an executed assignment of the Settlement Warrant with the name of the assignee left in blank to be filled in by the Company, and (e) to terminate the 1994 Consulting Agreement. Both parties executed general releases in full settlement of all claims and disputes between them. The Settlement Warrant, as adjusted through the date of its surrender to the Company, represents the right to purchase 331,126 shares of Common Stock at $1.51 per share until November 3, 1999.

RECENT TRANSACTIONS Transactions With Winter Harbor, L.L.C.; Series M Preferred Stock On June 5, 1997, the Company entered into a term loan agreement ("Loan Agreement") and promissory note ("Note") with Winter Harbor, L.L.C. ("Winter Harbor") pursuant to which Winter Harbor agreed to loan to the Company the principal sum of $2,000,000 (the "Loan") for capital expenditures and working capital purposes. As further consideration for Winter Harbor's commitment to make the Loan, the Company granted to Winter Harbor a warrant ("Loan Warrant") to purchase up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $4.97 per share, subject to adjustment, pursuant to the terms of a Warrant Agreement between the parties. The Loan Warrant expires on March 11, 2002, and contains demand and piggyback registration rights and customary anti- dilution terms. The maturity date of the Note is October 15, 1998; however, the Loan Agreement anticipates an equity investment in the Company by Winter Harbor (the "Investment"). Upon closing of the Investment, all principal and accrued interest then due under the Note may, at the option of Winter Harbor, be credited toward payment of Winter Harbor's purchase price for the Investment and the Note shall be cancelled. The loan from Winter Harbor has an interest rate of prime plus 2%. In addition to the stated interest rate, the Company will recognize debt issuance cost (non-cash) over the life of the loan (maturity date is October 15, 1998) of approximately $3,800,000 which reflects the approximate fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the debt. The Company expended significant time and effort pursuing various financing alternatives and determined that the Winter Harbor proposal was the best alternative available to the Company. 83 In August 1997, the Company and Winter Harbor amended their agreement to provide that the Company would be allowed to borrow up to an additional $3,000,000 (thus revising the maximum amount of the Loan to $5,000,000). In the event the Company borrows against such additional credit, it has agreed to issue to Winter Harbor warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock for each $1,000,000 in additional borrowing. The exercise price for such additional warrants shall equal the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the date each such $1,000,000 increment is borrowed by the Company. On August 18, 1997, the Company borrowed an additional $3,000,000 pursuant to such arrangement, bringing the total principal amount due under the Note to $5,000,000, and issued an additional 300,000 warrants to Winter Harbor in connection therewith. Winter Harbor is owned by First Media, L.P., a private media and communications company which is a private investment principally of Richard E. Marriott and his family. The Company's general counsel, David E. Hardy, is a brother of Ralph W. Hardy, Jr. who is general counsel and a minority equity holder in Winter Harbor. David E. Hardy has no ownership or association with Winter Harbor. As a result of this relationship, as well as personal relationships of David E. Hardy with the principals of Winter Harbor, discussions were initiated which led to Winter Harbor's investment in the Company. The Company and Winter Harbor executed a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 30, 1997, and closed on October 10, 1997, pursuant to which Winter Harbor invested $12,100,000 in a new series of the Company's convertible preferred stock (the "Series M Preferred Stock"). Winter Harbor purchased approximately 2,545 shares of Series M Preferred Stock (convertible into 2,545,000 shares of Common Stock) for an aggregate cash consideration of approximately $7,000,000 (equivalent to $2.75 per share of Common Stock). The agreement with Winter Harbor also provided for purchase of approximately 1,855 additional shares of Series M Preferred Stock (convertible into 1,855,000 shares of Common Stock). Such additional shares of Series M Preferred Stock were paid for by exchanging the $5,000,000 outstanding principal balance plus approximately $100,000 accrued interest due under the Note. As additional consideration for its equity financing commitments, Winter Harbor was issued additional warrants by the Company to acquire (a) 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share (the "Series A Warrants"), (b) 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share (the "Series B Warrants") and (c) 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.69 (the "Series C Warrants"). The respective exercise prices for the Series A Warrants, the Series B Warrants and the Series C Warrants (collectively, the "Investment Warrants") shall be subject to adjustment. The Series A Warrants will be exercisable at any time for thirty months from the date of issuance, and the Series B Warrants and Series C Warrants will be exercisable at any time for sixty months from the date of issuance. All of the Investment Warrants (i) have demand registration rights and anti-dilution rights and (ii) contain cashless exercise provisions. The Series M Preferred Stock is entitled to receive cumulative dividends in the amount of 10% per annum before any other class of preferred or common stock receives any dividends. Thereafter, the Series M Preferred Stock will participate with the Common Stock in the issuance of any dividends on a per share basis. Moreover, the Series M Preferred Stock will have the right to veto the payment of dividends on any other class of stock. The Series M Preferred Stock shall be convertible at any time prior to the fifth anniversary of its issuance, at the sole option of Winter Harbor, into shares of Common Stock on a one thousand-for-one basis; provided, however, that the Series M Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted to Common Stock on the fifth anniversary of its issuance at no cost to Winter Harbor. The conversion price shall be, in the case of discretionary conversion, $2.75 per share of Common Stock, or, in the case of automatic conversion, the lower of $2.75 per share or 50% of the average closing bid price of the Common Stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the fifth anniversary of issuance. The basis for discretionary conversion, or the conversion price for automatic conversion, shall be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events, including without limitation, issuance of stock dividends, recapitalization of the Company, or the issuance of stock by the Company at less than the fair market value thereof. Conversion of the Series M Preferred Stock will be subject to approval by the Company's shareholders of an increase in the number of shares of authorized capital stock at the Company's next annual shareholders meeting. The Series M Preferred Stock will vote with the Common Stock on an as-converted basis on all matters which are submitted to a vote of the stockholders, except as may otherwise be provided by law or by the Company's Articles of Incorporation or By-laws; provided, however, that the Series M Preferred Stock will have the right to appoint two members of the Company's board of directors. Upon completion of the Winter Harbor Investment, the Company will recognize a (non-cash) preferred stock dividend (assuming a common stock market value of $9.00 per share) in the approximate amount of $100,000,000 at the date of the investment. The actual dividend will be determined based upon the actual 84 common stock market price on the date the equity investment is finalized. This amount is calculated as the difference between the exercise or conversion price per common share per the agreement as compared to the market price of the Common Stock on the date of the closing, plus the value of the warrants issuable in connection with the Investment. MiBridge Acquisition; Series D Preferred Stock On August 12, 1997 the Company entered into an agreement with MiBridge, Inc., a New Jersey corporation ("MiBridge") and Mr. Dror Nahumi, the principal shareholder of MiBridge, pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of MiBridge (the "MiBridge Acquisition"). The MiBridge Acquisition subsequently closed on September 2, 1997. MiBridge is the owner of patent-pending audio-conferencing technology and is a leader in creating speech-encoding and compression algorithms designed to produce superior audio quality and lower delay over low-band networks. The Company will pay the stockholders of MiBridge (the "MiBridge Stockholders") consideration consisting of (i) an aggregate $2,000,000 in cash, payable in quarterly installments over two years, and (ii) an aggregate 1,000 shares of a series of the Company's convertible preferred stock to be created (the "Series D Preferred Stock"). The 1,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock are convertible at the option of the MiBridge Stockholders, at any time during the nine months following the closing of the MiBridge Acquisition, into such number of shares of Common Stock as shall equal the sum of $6,250,000 divided by $9.25 (the "Series D Conversion Price"), which price was the closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock on June 5, 1997 (the date that the first letter agreement relating to the transaction was executed). On the nine-month anniversary of the closing of the MiBridge Acquisition, any unconverted Series D Preferred Stock shall automatically convert to Common Stock. In either case, the Series D Preferred Stock shall be converted at the lower of the Series D Conversion Price or the average closing bid price for the five trading days immediately preceding the date the Company receives notice of conversion or the automatic conversion date, as the case may be. The Company has entered into an employment contract with Mr. Nahumi providing terms, conditions and benefits similar to those provided in employment contracts with existing members of the Company's senior management, including standard confidentiality, non-competition and assignment of invention provisions. Mr. Nahumi's annual salary shall be at least $100,000, and Mr. Nahumi will devote his full time to managing the operations of MiBridge under the direction of the Company. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES Common Stock The Company is currently authorized to issue 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock, having a par value of $.007 per share. As of September 30, 1997, there are 12,180,165 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and approximately 300 holders of record of the Common Stock, and approximately 3,500 beneficial owners. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote on each matter submitted to the stockholders of the Company for a vote thereon. The holders of Common Stock: (i) have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available therefor when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors; (ii) are entitled to share ratably in all of the assets of the Company available for distribution to holders of Common Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company; (iii) do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights, or redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable thereto; and (iv) as noted above, are entitled to one non- cumulative vote per share on all matters submitted to stockholders for a vote at any meeting of stockholders. Prior to any payment of dividends to the holders of Common Stock, all accrued and unpaid dividends on any outstanding shares of Preferred Stock must be paid. Other than as set forth herein, the Company anticipates that, for the foreseeable future, it will retain earnings, if any, to finance the operations of its businesses. The payment of dividends in the future will depend upon, among other things, the capital requirements and the operating and financial conditions of the Company. 85 Preferred Stock The Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $10.00 par value per share (previously defined as the "Preferred Stock"). The Board of Directors is authorized to issue shares of Preferred Stock from time to time in one or more series and, subject to the limitations contained in the Articles of Incorporation and any limitations prescribed by law, to establish and designate any such series and to fix the number of shares and the relative conversion rights, voting rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions) and liquidation preferences. New issuances of shares of Preferred Stock with voting rights can affect the voting rights of the holders of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and Common Stock by increasing the number of outstanding shares having voting rights, and by the creation of class or series voting rights. Furthermore, additional issuances of shares of Preferred Stock with conversion rights can have the effect of increasing the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding up to the amount of Common Stock authorized by the Articles of Incorporation and can also, under certain circumstances, have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company and/or otherwise adversely affect the rights of holders of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and Common Stock. To the extent permitted by the Articles of Incorporation, such shares of Preferred Stock may have preferences over the Common Stock (and other series of Preferred Stock) with respect to dividends and liquidation rights. As of September 30 1997, 22,500 shares of Preferred Stock had been designated Class B Preferred Stock (of which 7,500 shares are issued and outstanding), 240,000 shares of Preferred Stock had been designated Class C Preferred Stock (of which 218,018 are issued and outstanding), and 7,500 shares of Preferred Stock had been designated 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (no shares of which are issued and outstanding). Class B Preferred Stock There are 22,500 shares of Class B Preferred Stock authorized to be issued, 7,500 of which are issued and outstanding. Each share of Class B Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to receive cumulative dividends. The initial dividend rate for the Class B Preferred Stock was 5.5%. Effective April 1, 1992, the rate has been adjusted monthly, to be equal to the published rate paid by Texas Commerce Bank, N.A., Houston, Texas, on 30-day certificates of deposit in effect on the first day of each such month, plus 2%. As of December 1, 1995, the Class B Preferred Stock dividend rate was 5.0%. Dividends are payable in cash quarterly on the first day of July, October, January and April of each year that any shares of Class B Preferred Stock are outstanding. Dividends accrue on each share of Class B Preferred Stock whether or not earned or declared and whether or not there are funds of the Company legally available for payment thereof. Each share of Class B Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder thereof into shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock into which shares of Class B Preferred Stock are convertible is derived by multiplying the number of shares of Class B Preferred Stock to be converted by a fraction, the numerator of which is $10.00 and the denominator of which is the conversion price ("Conversion Price"), which is adjustable. The initial Conversion Price was $0.058375. As of June 30, 1997, the Conversion Price was $0.408625; therefore the number of shares of Common Stock issuable if all 7,500 outstanding shares of Class B Preferred Stock were converted as of such date would be 183,542. Except as otherwise provided by law, shares of Class B Preferred Stock have no voting rights. The Class B Preferred Stock is subject to redemption by the Company at any time. If called for redemption, the right to convert Class B Preferred Stock to Common Stock shall terminate on the close of business on the day before the date fixed for actual payment of the redemption price. No shares of Class B Preferred Stock designated for redemption pursuant to any notice of redemption shall be entitled to any dividends after the applicable redemption date. On the redemption date, all rights of the holders of such shares as stockholders of the Company by reason of the ownership of such shares shall cease, except the right to receive the redemption price of such shares upon presentation and surrender of the certificate representing such shares. No Class B Preferred Stock designated for redemption shall be deemed to be outstanding after the redemption date. The redemption price is $10.00 per share of Class B Preferred Stock, plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends on such share on the date payment of such redemption price is paid. 86 In the event of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, the holders of the Class B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to liquidation rights identical to the holders of the Class A Preferred Stock; however, such liquidation rights are subordinate to the Class A Preferred Stock, but superior to any other series of Preferred Stock and to the Common Stock. Class C Preferred Stock There are 240,000 shares of Class C Preferred Stock designated, of which 218,018 are issued and outstanding. The holders of the Class C Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative preferential dividends, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, on a quarterly basis on November 15, February 15, May 15 and August 15 each year in an amount equal to 8% per annum of the liquidation preference per share of $60.00. Dividends will be paid, to the extent permissible under the Florida Business Corporation Act, to the holders of the Class C Preferred Stock in cash or, at the option of the Company, as determined by the Board of Directors, in shares of Common Stock (the "Dividend Shares") (based upon the last sale price of a share of Common Stock for the five trading days preceding the record date for a particular dividend), provided that such Dividend Shares are covered by an effective registration statement. Except as otherwise provided by law, shares of Class C Preferred Stock have no voting rights. Conversion Rights. Unless previously redeemed, the Class C Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock, at any time commencing November 21, 1996, at the option of the holder, into such number of shares of the Company's Common Stock as shall equal $60 divided by the lower of (i) $2.50, or (ii) the closing bid price for any five consecutive trading days during the period commencing on September 6, 1996 and ending on March 5, 1998 (previously defined as the "Conversion Price"), subject to certain adjustments for (a) the sale or issuance of Common Stock by the Company at a price less than the Conversion Price (except for shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of securities outstanding or issuable by the Company as of the date hereof), (b) in the event the Company's registration statement relating to the Conversion Shares is not declared effective within twelve months after September 6, 1996 the Conversion Price shall be subject to a reduction of ten percent for each 90 day delay in the effective date of such registration statement, or (c) in the event the closing bid price is less than $2.50 for five consecutive trading days during the period from September 6, 1996 to the date eighteen months thereafter ("the Adjustment Period,") the Conversion Price shall be reduced to the lower of the then current Conversion Price or the lowest of the average closing bid price for five consecutive trading days during the Adjustment Period. In no event shall the Conversion Price be adjusted below $1.25 on account of the adjustments described in (a), (b) or (c); however, the Conversion Price is subject to adjustment under certain other circumstances. As of September 30, 1997, 21,982 shares of Class C Preferred Stock have been converted. Automatic Conversion. Unless previously redeemed, the Class C Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into the Conversion Shares on September 6, 2001 at a Conversion Price equal to the lower of the then current Conversion Price or 50% of the average closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the fifth anniversary of the Final Closing. Redemption. The Class C Preferred Stock is redeemable at any time prior to September 6, 2000, at the option of the Company, as determined by the Board of Directors, on not less than thirty nor more than sixty days written notice to registered holders at a redemption price equal to $60 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends, provided (i) the Conversion Shares are covered by an effective registration statement; and (ii) during the immediately preceding thirty consecutive trading days ending within fifteen days of the date of the notice of redemption, the closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock is not less than $8.00 per share. The Class C Preferred Stock is redeemable at any time after September 6, 2000, at the option of the Company, on not less than thirty nor more than sixty days written notice to registered holders at a redemption price 87 equal to $90 plus accrued and unpaid dividends, provided the Conversion Shares are covered by an effective registration statement or the Conversion Shares are otherwise exempt from registration. Registration Rights. Within 12 months of September 6, 1996, the Company shall file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Common Stock underlying the Class C Preferred Stock (previously defined as the "Conversion Shares"). If the registration statement is not declared effective within such 12 month period, the Conversion Price shall be subject to an additional reduction of 10% for each 90 day delay in the effective date of the Registration Statement and the dividend rate shall be increased to 12%; provided, however, that in the event the Company files any registration statement prior to the expiration of 12 months from September 6, 1996, the Conversion Shares shall be likewise registered at such time; and further provided that the Conversion Price shall not be reduced below $1.25 per share. The 10% Notes The Company issued $1,000,000 in principal amount of 10% Notes on February 23, 1996. Commonwealth acted as the placement agent of the 10% Notes. Each 10% Note has a minimum face amount of $50,000 and provides for the accrual of interest at the simple annual rate of 10%, payable at maturity. The 10% Notes were due upon the earlier of August 31, 1996 (the "Maturity Date") or the Company's receipt of proceeds of at least $4 million from an equity or debt financing (the "Accelerated Maturity Date"). The Company had the right to extend the Maturity Date of some or all of the 10% Notes until February 28, 1997 upon payment to the holder(s) of the 10% Note(s) of a cash payment equal to two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the then outstanding principal amount of such 10% Note(s). In the event of extension by the Company, the interest rate with respect to the unpaid principal balance would have increased to the simple annual rate of thirteen percent (13%). The unpaid principal balance of the 10% Notes was prepayable by the Company without penalty upon 30 days notice to the holder. Up to $1,250 of each $50,000 (i.e., 2.5%) of unpaid principal amount of a 10% Note was convertible at the option of the holder into 17,500 shares of Common Stock (or $.0714 per share) (subject to adjustment) at any time after March 31, 1996 but prior to the Maturity Date or Accelerated Maturity Date. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the 10% Note), the conversion right in the 10% Note shall be amended such that the remaining unpaid principal balance shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at 40% of the fair market value (the average of the closing bid and ask prices on the last ten trading days of the prior calendar month) per share of Common Stock. Effective as of August 21, 1996, holders of an aggregate of $1,000,000 in principal of the 10% Notes elected to convert $25,000 in principal to 350,000 shares of Common Stock. The non-convertible portion of the principal of the 10% Notes was repaid from the proceeds of the Class C Offering. Simultaneous with the Company's repayment, holders of the 10% Notes instructed the Company to allocate an aggregate of $709,800 in principal amount of the 10% Notes to purchase an aggregate of 11,018 shares of Class C Preferred Stock. The 10% Notes provide for demand registration rights for the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the 10% Note on one occasion at any time after March 1, 1996 but prior to February 28, 1999, upon the written request from the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the 10% Notes. In addition the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of 88 the 10% Notes shall have piggy-back registration rights in the event that the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Act in connection with the public offering thereof solely for cash (other than any registration statement on the Forms S-4, S-8 or a similar form); provided, however, that the Company shall have no such obligation after three years from the date of issuance of the 10% Notes or if the managing underwriter of the subject proposed offering expresses its objection thereto. Holders of an aggregate of $1,000,000 in principal amount of the 10% Notes demanded registration of the shares of Common Stock on September 9, 1996. Convertible Promissory Notes The Company issued an aggregate of $717,000 in principal amount of Convertible Promissory Notes (previously defined as the "Convertible Notes") on September 6, 1996 in connection with the Class C Offering. Commonwealth acted as the placement agent for such notes. Each Convertible Note is due on September 30, 1997 with interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. The Convertible Notes are prepayable by the Company without penalty upon 30 days notice provided that the Company has effected an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to increase its authorized capital stock and designated sufficient Class C Preferred Stock to accommodate conversion of the Convertible Notes. The entirety of the unpaid principal amount of the Convertible Notes will be automatically converted into shares of Class C Preferred Stock at the rate of $60 per share of Class C Preferred Stock upon the amendment of the Company's Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of Preferred Stock to at least 2,000,000 and the authorized number of shares of Common Stock to at least 75,000,000 shares (the "Articles Amendment") and the designation of sufficient shares to accommodate conversion. The Convertible Notes are convertible into an aggregate of 11,950 shares of Class C Preferred Stock. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default (an "Event of Default") under the Convertible Notes: (i) the failure to pay when due any principal or interest thereunder; (ii) the failure of the Company to effect the Articles Amendment within seven months of issuance of the Convertible Note; (iii) the violation by the Company of any covenant or agreement contained in the Convertible Note and the continuance of such violation for a period of thirty days after written notice to the Company of such failure; (iv) any change in control of the Company which the Board of Directors of the Company deems to be hostile or unfriendly; (v) the assignment for the benefit of creditors by the Company; (vi) the application for the appointment of a receiver or liquidator for the Company or for property of the Company; (vii) the filing of a petition in bankruptcy by or against the Company; (viii) the issuance of an attachment or the entry of a judgment against the Company in excess of $500,000; (ix) a default by the Company with respect to any other material indebtedness or obligation; (x) the making or sending of a notice of an intended bulk sale by the Company; or (xi) the termination of existence, dissolution or insolvency of the Company. There is no sinking fund or other security for the payment of the Convertible Notes. Settlement Warrant As of November 3, 1994, the Company issued a Common Stock Purchase Warrant (previously defined as the "Settlement Warrant") to JW Charles Financial Services, Inc. (previously defined as "JW Charles") pursuant to the terms of a Financial Consulting Agreement dated as of November 1, 1994 between the Company and Corporate Management Group, Inc. The Settlement Warrant entitled the holder to purchase an aggregate of 250,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $2.00 per share, subject to adjustment, at any time through November 3, 1999. Pursuant to the adjustment provisions, the Settlement Warrant was subsequently adjusted to entitle the holder to purchase an aggregate of 331,126 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.51 per share. The Settlement Warrant contains demand registration rights during the exercise period and piggyback registration rights for a period of five years. On April 29, 1997, all right, title and interest in the Settlement Warrant was transferred to the Hardy Group pursuant to the Settlement Agreement between JW Charles and the Company. See "Legal Proceedings" and "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." 89 Commonwealth Warrants On August 21, 1996, in connection with the Company's Class C Offering, the Company entered into the Placement Agent's Common Stock Warrant Agreement and the Consultant's Common Stock Warrant Agreement with Commonwealth Associates (previously defined as "Commonwealth"). Together, the Placement Agent's Common Stock Warrant Agreement and the Consultant's Common Stock Warrant Agreement are collectively referred to as the "Commonwealth Warrant Agreements." The Commonwealth Warrant Agreements are substantially identical except that the Placement Agent's Common Stock Warrant Agreement and related Warrant Certificate entitle Commonwealth to purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock and the Consultant's Warrant Agreement and related Warrant Certificate entitle Commonwealth to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock (previously defined as the "Commonwealth Warrants"). The Commonwealth Warrants entitle Commonwealth to purchase up to an aggregate of 750,000 shares of Common Stock at any time from March 1, 1997 until August 20, 2001 at an exercise price per share of $2.50, subject to adjustment. At its option, Commonwealth may effect a "cashless exercise" during the warrant exercise period by exchanging the Commonwealth Warrants for a specified number of shares of Common Stock (the "Total Share Number") less a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the product of the Total Share Number and the then-applicable exercise price by (ii) the market price (as defined) of a share of Common Stock. The holders of the Commonwealth Warrants and/or shares issuable upon exercise of the Commonwealth Warrants (the "Commonwealth Shares") have piggyback registration rights through August 20, 2003 and demand registration rights from August 20, 1997 through August 1, 2003; provided, however, that in the event the Company does not file a registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the 10% Notes within ninety-five days of a request of a majority of the 10% Noteholders, the demand registration rights accelerate from August 20, 1997 to the 96th day following such demand. In the event the Company has not used its best efforts to file a registration statement within ninety-five days of receipt of demand therefor by the 10% Noteholders or within thirty days after demand by Commonwealth upon acceleration of its demand registration rights, the Company will be required to repurchase any Commonwealth Shares at the higher of the market price (as defined) on the date of notice of demand for registration or the expiration of the period by which the Company must have filed the registration statement and must repurchase any outstanding Commonwealth Warrants at the market price of the Common Stock less the exercise price of the Commonwealth Warrants. Four M Options On February 21, 1996, Four M International, Ltd. ("Four M"), a principal shareholder of the Company granted certain options exercisable commencing July 1, 1996 (subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions) to purchase 3,915,570 shares of Common Stock. Subsequent to their initial issuance, 1,586,415 of such options have been exercised, 371,480 of such options have expired and 1,957,675 Four M Options remain outstanding. Henry Y.L. Toh, a director of the Company, is one of the two directors of Four M. The initial exercise price of $1.79 per share represents the lesser of 200% of the average of the closing bid and ask price per share of Common Stock for the ten business days preceding July 1, 1996 or $1.79 per share. Commonwealth and affiliates or associates thereof have the right to purchase 270,696 shares of Common Stock prior to December 31, 1997. Benchmark has the right to purchase 356,392 shares prior to December 31, 1997. Certain then-members of management of I-Link, namely, Clay Wilkes, Floyd Wilkes and Alex Radulovic, have the right to purchase an aggregate of 824,891 shares prior to December 31, 1997. Other individuals have the right to purchase 505,696 shares prior to December 31, 1997. In August 1996, the Four M Options were amended to provide that in the event that $200,000 in principal amount (i.e., exercise proceeds) of the Four M Options have been exercised prior to December 31, 1996, the exercise period of the remaining Four M Options exercisable during 1996 (the "1996 Four M Options") will be extended to September 6, 1997 and the exercise price would be increased by 4% of the then current exercise price for each 30 day period or portion thereof commencing January 1, 1997 in which the remainder of the 1996 Four M Options are not exercised. From December 1996 through September 6, 1997, an aggregate of 1,586,415 Four M Options were exercised by certain of the holders thereof and proceeds aggregating $3,828,239 were received by Four M. The exercise price per share of the Four M Options which remain outstanding is $1.79. 90 Babcock Shares The Babcock Shares are issuable upon conversion of outstanding Class B Preferred Stock. On February 21, 1996 R. Huston Babcock, M.D., a director of the Company, granted certain options exercisable commencing July 1, 1996 (subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions) to purchase 183,542 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding Class B Preferred Stock. The exercise price is equal to the lesser of 200% of the average of the closing bid and ask price per share of Common Stock for the ten business days preceding July 1, 1996 or $1.79 per share. Benchmark received the right to purchase 91,771 shares of Common Stock prior to December 31, 1996 (which option has expired) and 91,771 shares prior to December 31, 1997. Kanter Option On January 31, 1996, Walnut Capital Corp. ("WCC"), Windy City, Inc. ("WCI") and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and Trust Company (Bahamas) Limited ("CIB") (the "Kanter Group") entered into an agreement for the grant of an option to various purchasers, including certain affiliates and associated persons of Commonwealth, for the sale of 40,000 shares of Class A Preferred Stock and/or the 978,891 shares of Common Stock of the Company issuable upon conversion of such Class A Preferred Stock owned by the Kanter Group to the purchasers. The option became effective February 7, 1996 and continued through February 11, 1996, unless extended. The consideration for the purchase was $485,000. The Shareholders' Agreement between Four M, WCC, WCI and CIB was terminated concurrent with the sale by the Kanter Group by agreement among the parties to the Shareholders' Agreement. Cook Option On October 19, 1995, Scott Cook loaned the principal amount of $200,000 to I-Link, Ltd., one-half of which was guaranteed by the Company. The amount guaranteed by the Company was secured under a Security Agreement pursuant to which GNET Enterprises, Inc., the general partner of I-Link, Ltd. granted a security interest in certain assets of I-Link, Ltd. In addition, the Company issued to Mr. Cook a Common Stock Purchase Option to Purchase Common Stock for the purchase of 100,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share commencing January 1, 1996 through December 31, 1996. The Cook Option provides for piggyback registration rights for three years beginning January 1, 1996. On April 24, 1996, Mr. Cook transferred 25,000 of the Cook Options to S.C. Culbreth, 25,000 to John Beardmore and 25,000 to Watts Texas Limited Partners. 91 E&M Warrants In connection with a loan to the Company in June 1996 of $250,000 by E&M RP Trust, the Company issued the E&M Warrants to purchase 80,000 shares of Common Stock to E&M. The E&M Warrants entitle the holder to purchase the Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share at any time during the period ending June 9, 1999. The E&M Warrants contain demand and piggyback registration rights commencing July 31, 1997 through June 9, 1999 as to the E&M Warrants and shares of Common Stock.

The Hardy Group Warrants entitle the holders to purchase the Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share at any time during the period ending April 29, 2002. The Hardy Group Warrants contain demand and piggyback registration rights as to the Hardy Group Warrants and underlying shares of Common Stock. Anti-Takeover Measures The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain provisions that could discourage potential takeover attempts and prevent shareholders from changing the Company's management. The Articles of Incorporation provide for a classified Board of Directors and that vacancies on the Board of Directors shall be filled only by a majority of the remaining directors then in office. In addition, the Bylaws provide, among other things, that no proposal by a stockholder shall be presented for vote at a special or annual meeting of stockholders unless such stockholder shall, not later than the close of business on the fifth day following the date on which notice of the meeting is first given to stockholders, provide the Board of Directors or the Secretary of the Company with written notice of intention to present a proposal for action at the forthcoming meeting of stockholders, which notice shall include the name and address of such stockholder, the number of voting securities he or she holds of record and which he or she holds beneficially, the text of the proposal to be presented at the meeting and a statement in support of the proposal. Any stockholder may make any other proposal at an annual meeting or special meeting of stockholders and the same may be discussed and considered, but unless stated in writing and filed with the Board of Directors or the Secretary prior to the date set forth above, such proposal shall be laid over for action at an adjourned, special, or annual meeting of the stockholders taking place sixty days or more thereafter. This provision shall not prevent the consideration and approval or disapproval at the annual meeting of reports of officers, directors, and committees; but in connection with such reports, no new business proposed by a stockholder (acting in such capacity) shall be acted upon at such annual meeting unless stated and filed as described above.

The Company will receive the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Settlement Warrants, the Commonwealth Warrants, the Cook Option, the E&M Warrants, the Mandarino Warrants and the Hardy Group Warrants. The Securities may be sold from time to time by the Selling Securityholders or by pledgees, transferees, or other successors in interest, on Nasdaq (or such other exchange on which the securities are listed at the time of sale) at prices and terms then prevailing or related to the then current market price, delivered in satisfaction of previously incurred indebtedness or other contractual obligations, or sold directly to purchasers in privately negotiated transactions by and subject to the discretion of the Selling Securityholders. The Selling Securityholders may from time to time offer their respective securities for sale through underwriters, dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Stockholders and/or the purchasers of such securities for whom they may act as agents. The Selling Securityholders and any underwriter, dealer or agent who participates in the distribution of such Selling Securityholders' securities may be deemed to be "underwriters" under the Securities Act and any profit on the sale of such securities by any of them and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any such underwriters, dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offer of the Securities is made by or on the behalf of a Selling Securityholder, a Prospectus and a Prospectus Supplement, to the extent required, will be distributed which will set forth the number of securities being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, the purchase price paid by any underwriter for such securities purchased from the Selling Securityholders, any discounts, commissions and other items constituting compensation from the Selling Securityholders, any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed, reallowed or paid to dealers, and the proposed selling price to the public. The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions: (i) at an offering price which is fixed or which may vary from transaction to transaction depending upon the time of sale, or (ii) at prices otherwise negotiated at the time of sale. Such prices will be determined by the Selling Securityholders or by agreement between the Selling Securityholders and their underwriter. In order to comply with the applicable securities laws, if any, of certain states, the Securities will be offered or sold in such states through registered or licensed brokers or dealers in those states. In addition, in certain states, such securities may not be offered or sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in such states or an exemption from such registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with. Under applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in a distribution of securities may not simultaneously bid for or purchase securities of the same class for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of such distribution. In addition and without limiting the foregoing, the Selling Securityholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including without limitation Rules 10b-5, 10b-6 and 10b-7, in connection with transactions in the Shares during the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of such securities. The Company has paid all of the expenses incident to the registration of the foregoing securities (including registration pursuant to the securities laws of certain states) other than: (i) any fees or expenses of any counsel retained by any Selling Securityholder and any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Selling Securityholder or any person retained by any Selling Securityholder in connection with registration of the Securities and (ii) commissions, expenses, reimbursements and discounts of underwriters, dealers or agents, if any. 93 LEGAL MATTERS Certain legal matters in connection with the registration of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon for the Company by De Martino Finkelstein Rosen & Virga, Washington, D.C.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Medcross, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996, and the consolidated results of their operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Through its acquisition in February 1996 of I-Link Worldwide, Inc. ("I-Link"), the Company is a provider of business communication services. In China, the Company sells and services used medical equipment. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Medcross, Inc. and the following subsidiaries: - Medcross Imaging, Ltd., a limited partnership, provides mobile magnetic resonance imaging services to healthcare facilities. The Company is the sole general partner of the partnership and had an 81.75% ownership interest as of December 31, 1996 and 1995. - Waters Edge Scanning Associates, Inc., a Florida corporation, provides magnetic resonance imaging services. This wholly owned subsidiary acquired the assets of Waters Edge Scanning Associates, Ltd. and its general partner, Florida Medical Enterprises, Inc. on June 1, 1993. - Urological Ultrasound Services of Tampa Bay, Inc., a Florida corporation, provides mobile ultrasound services. This wholly owned subsidiary began operations in October 1994 after completion of an acquisition of the 75% ownership interest not previously owned by the Company. Prior to that time, the Company recorded its share of income or loss from the 25% ownership interest on the equity method. On May 1, 1995, this subsidiary distributed all of its assets net of liabilities to the Company. All of the assets of this subsidiary, except cash, were contributed to Waters Edge Scanning Associates, Inc. and this subsidiary was dissolved in 1996. - Medcross Asia, Ltd., a Hong Kong corporation, was formed by the Company as a wholly owned subsidiary in 1993. This corporation is seeking investment and equipment trading opportunities in the Far East. - Shenyang Medcross Huamei Medical Equipment Company, Ltd. (SMHME), a People's Republic of China (PRC) corporation formed in January 1994, sells and services used computerized tomography (CT) equipment in the Shenyang Province of the PRC. The Company has a 51% ownership interest in SMHME. - I-Link Worldwide Inc., a Utah corporation, was acquired by the Company in February 1996 and is a wholly owned subsidiary. I-Link Worldwide Inc. provides business communication services. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Use of estimates 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 and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less. F-8 MEDCROSS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 - Summary of significant accounting policies, continued Non-Cash Transactions Non-cash transactions not otherwise reflected in the consolidated statement of cash flows include the following: In February 1995, a holder of Class B Preferred Stock converted 9,305 shares into 227,714 shares of common stock. In September 1995, one of the note holders of the $600,000 promissory note demanded payment, due in common stock. A reduction of $5,201 of the debt resulted in an issuance of 1,849 shares of common stock. In February 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of I-Link Worldwide Inc. in exchange for 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, of which 2,600,000 shares were held in escrow, until August 1996 when 1,600,000 shares were released. In August 1996, in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement entered into during the I-Link acquisition, 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock held in escrow for the benefit of the seller were released resulting in acquired in-progress research and development expense in the amount of $9,800,000 and a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital. In 1996 holders of Class A Preferred Stock converted 200,000 shares into 4,894,461 shares of common stock. During 1996, certain convertible promissory notes totaling $704,799 (principal amount) were converted into 720,407 shares of common stock. During 1996, I-Link financed $605,609 of equipment through capital leases. Inventory Inventories consist of used and refurbished computerized tomography scanners held for sale in China. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the specific identification method. Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the declining balance method for medical equipment and straight-line method for other assets over the estimated useful lives of the assets, two to nine years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and renewals and betterments are capitalized. Gains or losses on disposals are credited or charged to operations. Intangible assets Organization costs are amortized on the straight-line basis over a period of sixty months. Loan costs are amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the period of the loans (36 months to 60 months). Syndication and other issuance costs incurred with respect to equity offerings of the Company and sale of limited partnership interests are deferred and offset against the proceeds of the offerings at closing. Goodwill resulting from purchase of Waters Edge Scanning Associates, Inc., is amortized on the straight-line basis over a period of twenty-five years. The Company regularly evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate the carrying value of the intangible assets may not be recoverable. When factors indicate the asset may not be recoverable, the Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted future cash flows compared to the carrying value of intangibles to determine if an impairment exists. Adjustments are made if the sum of expected future net cash flows is less than carrying value. F-9 MEDCROSS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 - Summary of significant accounting policies, continued Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue from health care services at the time services are performed net of contractual allowances based on agreements with third party payers. The Company records revenue from equipment sales when installation is completed. Advance deposits received prior to installation are recorded as a current liability. The Company recognizes revenue from business communication services as services are rendered or as products are delivered to customers. Warranty liability Equipment sales are generally accompanied by a service warranty. Expected future product warranty costs are recorded as an expense and liability when the product is sold. Foreign currency translation The functional currency for the Company's foreign operations is the applicable local currency. The translation from the applicable foreign currencies to U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for income statement items using a weighted average exchange rate for the period. The gains or losses, net of applicable deferred income taxes, resulting from such translations are included in stockholders' equity. Some transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries are made in currencies different from their own. Gains and losses from these transactions are generally included in income as they occur. Net foreign currency transaction gains or losses are not material for any of the periods presented. Income taxes The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The Statement requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements based upon the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Net loss per share Net loss per share of common stock is computed based on the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Options, warrants and convertible preferred stock are excluded from the calculation, when their effect would be anti-dilutive. Net loss per common share for 1996 and 1995 were calculated as follows:
1996 1995 ---- ---- Net loss per consolidated statement of operations $(23,064,240) $ (551,969) Cumulative preferred stock dividends not paid in current year (343,629) (128,669) Preferred stock dividend on class C convertible cumulative redeemable preferred stock (20,880,000) - ----------- --------- Net loss applicable to common stock $(44,287,869) $ (680,578) =========== ========= Weighted average shares outstanding 6,780,352 1,756,540 =========== ========= Net loss per common share $ (6.53) $ ( .39) =========== =========
F-10 MEDCROSS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 - Summary of significant accounting policies, continued The preferred stock dividend (non cash) on Class C convertible redeemable preferred stock is calculated as the difference between the conversion price per common share per the private offering memorandum as compared to the market price for the common stock on the date the preferred shares were sold. The dividend was recognized over the period between the sale of the preferred stock and the date the preferred shares could first be converted. Financial Instruments As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the carrying amounts for cash, cash equivalents, certificates of deposit and other current assets or liabilities that are considered to be financial instruments approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts for the Company's line of credit and other non convertible debt also approximates fair value based on current rates available to the Company for debt of a similar nature and maturity. The Company's convertible promissory notes, with a carrying value of $717,000 at December 31, 1996 have a fair value of $1,452,000 based on the quoted market price of the stock at December 31, 1996. Reclassifications Certain balances in the December 31, 1995 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. These changes had no effect on previously reported net loss, total assets, liabilities or stockholders' equity. Note 2 - Major customers and concentrations of credit risk Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions in Utah and Florida and attempts to limit its exposure in any one particular instrument. At December 31, 1996 the Company's cash deposits exceeded the federally insured limits by $4,300,000. The Company provided magnetic resonance imaging services to two major customers in 1996 and 1995. The revenue and accounts receivable balances, net of contractual allowances, at year-end for each of these customers were as follows:
Revenue Accounts Receivable ------- ------------------- 1996 1995 1996 1995 ----- ---- ---- ---- Customer A $433,338 $566,945 $55,204 $87,223 Customer B 248,000 304,791 22,750 18,200
Note 3 - Certificates of Deposit-Restricted During 1996, I-Link entered into a 24 month; $3.5 million operating lease. As a condition of that lease, I-Link obtained a letter of credit totaling $1.575 million. To secure the letter of credit the Company has restricted Certificates of deposit (CDs) in the same amount. These funds will be released when the lease expires. I-Link also has restricted CDs totaling $150,812 used to secure lines of credit in connection with capital leases totaling approximately $610,000. As of December 31, 1996, I-Link also has restricted CDs totaling $244,000 of which $215,000 is used for a security deposit on the facilities which I-Link occupied in early 1997. The remaining $30,000 is collateral for I-Link's corporate credit cards. These monies are held in escrow accounts and bear interest which is to be paid to I-Link. Of the above monies held in escrow, $208,500 will be released during 1997. Note 4 - Notes payable Uncollateralized promissory note, payable to Mortgage Network International, interest payable at 10.5% payable monthly. $ 88,000 ========== Line of credit, $700,000, payable to First Union National Bank, interest payable at 3/4% above prime rate, (prime rate was 8.25% at December 31, 1996), principal balance due June 30, 1996, collateralized by accounts receivable and general assets of the Company. $ 290,000 Convertible promissory notes, interest payable quarterly at 8% per annum, uncollateralized. 717,000 --------- Total notes payable $ 1,007,000 =========
F-11 MEDCROSS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 4 - Notes payable - continued The Company has reached an agreement with First Union National Bank pursuant to which the Company has agreed to secure alternative financing to repay amounts outstanding under the line of credit while continuing to repay the outstanding balance in increments of $10,000 per month commencing on July 1, 1996. The line of credit contains restrictive covenants relating to equity requirements, minimum cash balances, acquisitions, debt to equity ratios, borrowing base requirements, and net cash flow coverage requirements. The convertible promissory notes were issued in September 1996 in conjunction with a private placement offering Class C Preferred Stock of the Company. The promissory notes will automatically be converted into 11,950 shares of Class C Preferred Stock at $60 per share upon the amendment of the Company's Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock to at least 2,000,000. Each convertible note is due on July 31, 1997 with interest at the rate of 8% per annum. The notes are prepayable by the Company without penalty upon 30 days notice provided that the Company has effected an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to increase its authorized capital stock and designated sufficient Class C Preferred Stock to accommodate conversion of the notes, though the holders of the promissory notes may elect to convert the notes in lieu of accepting repayment. Interest expense (non-cash) of $1 million has been recognized by the Company representing the difference between the conversion price per common share relating to the convertible promissory notes and the exercise price of warrants issued with other notes as compared to the market price of the Common Stock on the date the promissory notes and warrants were issued. Note 5 - Long-term debt - related party Long-term debt at December 31, 1996 was as follows: Uncollateralized promissory note, payable to Mortgage Network International due in 36 equal monthly installments of principal and interest totaling $4,225.32. The interest rate is 10.5% $ 87,682 Less current portion 43,554 ------- $ 44,128 =======
Note 6 - Commitments under long-term leases As of December 31, 1996, I-Link financed approximately $610,000 of leased capital assets. Capital lease payments made in 1996 and 1995 were $160,000 and $45,000, respectively. In 1996, I-Link entered into a two-year equipment lease relating to the financing of an aggregate of $3.5 million worth of equipment purchases necessary to build the I-Link network. As a condition of that equipment lease, I-Link obtained a standby letter of credit totaling $1.575 million to the benefit of the lessor. In order to obtain this letter of credit, I-Link deposited $1.575 million into a certificate of deposit to be held until the obligation is satisfied. The certificate of deposit bears interest which is payable to I-Link, and will be released to I-Link when the lease expires. At the end of the lease, at I-Link's option, the equipment secured by the lease can be purchased at fair market value. I-Link also leases fiber optic data lines. The terms vary from 1-6 years. The Company leases office and network equipment facilities throughout the United States. The terms vary from 1-7 years. I-Link delivered $214,000 in certificates of deposit to the landlord as a security deposit for rented facilities which are refundable in periodic amounts as the lease expires. F-12 MEDCROSS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 6 - Commitments under long-term leases, continued Future minimum payments, by year and in the aggregate, under noncancellable capital leases and operating leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or more consist of the following at December 31, 1996.
Capital Operating Leases Leases ------ ------ 1997 $ 228,000 $3,414,000 1998 187,000 3,053,000 1999 69,000 1,248,000 2000 - 1,243,000 2001 - 415,000 Thereafter - 252,000 -------- --------- Total minimum payments 484,000 $9,625,000 ========= Less amount representing interest 60,248 -------- Present value of net minimum less payments 423,752 Less current portion 187,047 -------- Long-term capital lease obligations $ 236,705 ========
The Company's rental expense for operating leases was $1,316,000 and $41,172 for fiscal years ending December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Note 7 - Acquisition of subsidiary In February 1996, the Company closed its acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of I-Link Worldwide Inc., a Utah corporation ("I-Link") from ILINK, Ltd., a Utah limited partnership in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The results of operations of the acquired enterprise are included in the consolidated financial statements beginning February 13, 1996. Pursuant to the terms of the stock purchase agreement, 1,400,000 shares of the common stock were issued at the time of acquisition. In August 1996, 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock were released from escrow upon the receipt of proceeds from the completion of the Company's offering of Class C Preferred Stock. The remaining 1,000,000 shares of common stock are to be released from escrow upon the first to occur of the following: (i) the monthly revenue derived from subscribers serviced by I-Link and revenue derived from the sale of related products and/or services equals or exceeds $1,000,000; or (ii) the number of subscribers serviced by I-Link exceeds 100,000 one year from the date of receipt by the Company of gross proceeds equal to $4,000,000 from the sale of its securities pursuant to one or more private or public offerings. The acquisition cost of $12,600,000 (representing the 3 million shares issued to date) was allocated to the net liabilities of $2,003,000 (based on their fair market values) with the balance of $14,603,000 allocated to in-process research and development and software costs acquired. These were expensed as technological feasibility of the in-process technology had not yet been established and the technology had no alternative future use. In the event the remaining 1,000,000 shares of common stock are released from escrow upon the occurrence of one of the above criteria, the shares will be valued at the then market value of the Company's common stock. As the issuance of the contingent shares relates to the recognition of revenue relating to the acquired technology, the value of the shares would be recorded as an increase to the intangible assets of the Company, subject to applicable valuation criteria. The following pro forma summary presents the consolidated results of operations for the Company for 1996 and 1995, as if the acquisition of I-Link had occurred at the beginning of 1995. This pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and may not be indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had the acquisition taken place at the beginning of 1995. F-13 MEDCROSS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 7 - Acquisition of subsidiary, continued
Years ended December 31 1996 1995 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating revenue $2,383,000 $352,000 Net loss (17,386,000) (8,016,000) Loss per common share $(5.52) $(2.60)
At the time of the acquisition of I-Link, the Company issued certain convertible promissory notes. The Company also issued convertible promissory notes in September, 1996. Interest expense (non-cash) $1,945,000 has been recorded in 1996 relating to these promissory notes and warrants issued with other notes. The interest expense is calculated as the difference between the conversion price per common share per the promissory notes as compared to the market price for the common stock on the date the promissory notes were issued. The interest expense was recognized over the period between the date the promissory notes were issued and the date the promissory notes could first be converted. Note 8 - Income taxes The income tax benefit for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 consists of the following:
1996 1995 ---- ---- Current tax expense $ - $ - Deferred tax expense (benefit) - - ----------- ----------- Income tax benefit $ - $ - =========== ===========
The reported benefit from income taxes varies from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate to income before taxes for the following reasons:
1996 1995 ---- ---- Expected federal statutory tax benefit $(7,841,842) $(187,649) Increase (reduction) in taxes resulting from: State income taxes (net of federal benefit) (673,059) (30,355) Non-deductible meals and entertainment 7,283 33 Non-deductible litigation settlement expense 279,140 - Non-deductible interest on convertible notes 661,300 - Allowance for doubtful accounts - 115,644 Change in valuation allowance 7,559,551 108,484 Other 7,627 (6,157) ------------ ---------- $ - $ - ============ ==========
At December 31, 1996, the Company had net operating loss and capital loss carryforwards for both federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $7,400,000 and $60,000, respectively. The net operating loss carryforwards will expire between 2006 and 2011 if not used to reduce future taxable income. The capital loss carryforwards will expire in 1997. F-14 MEDCROSS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 8 - Income taxes, continued The components of the net deferred tax asset and liability as of December 31, 1996 are as follows: Deferred tax assets: Tax net operating loss carryforwards $ 2,759,930 Acquired in process research and development 5,257,333 Capital loss carryforwards 22,267 Excess book depreciation and amortization 61,706 Other 95,686 Valuation allowance (7,944,647) ----------- Total deferred tax asset 252,275 Deferred tax liability: ------------- Allowance for doubtful accounts ( 252,275) ------------- Total deferred tax liability ( 252,275) ------------- Net deferred tax asset $ - =============
The valuation allowance at December 31, 1996 has been provided to reduce the total deferred tax assets to the amount which is considered more likely than not to be realized. The net increase in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 1996 was $7,559,551. The change in the valuation allowance is due primarily to the increase in net operating loss carryforwards and acquired in- process research and development costs which were expensed for books and capitalized for tax purposes, and because the Company has not generated net income from its business communication services. It is at least reasonably possible that a change in the valuation allowance may occur in the near term. Note 9 - Litigation settlement A complaint was filed on April 12, 1996 by JW Charles Financial Services, Inc. ("JWC") against the Company in which JWC alleged that the Company breached the terms of a warrant to purchase 331,000 shares of the Company's common stock purchase ("warrant") by failing to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") a registration statement covering the common stock underlying the JWC warrant. JWC was seeking specific performance, i.e. registering the shares with the SEC, and monetary damages. On or about April 11, 1997 the Company reached an agreement in principle relating to the settlement of the lawsuit. The lawsuit will be dismissed upon payment of $600,000 to JWC in consideration for the purchase of the warrant. The JWC warrant will be purchased by an investor group led by the Company's general counsel and its treasurer and chief financial officer. It is not expected that the Company's funds will be utilized. In connection with the purchase of the JWC warrant, it is contemplated that the Company will grant certain additional consideration to the investor group, including new warrants to purchase 175,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to or in excess of the conversion price of the Class C Preferred Stock. Such warrants will have registration rights and anti-dilution provisions. The Company has recorded on its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1996 a liability and related expense for the settlement of litigation in the amount of $821,000 representing the estimated difference between the warrant price and the value of the warrant. Note 10 - Stockholders' equity Preferred stock In 1992, the Board of Directors approved and filed with the state of Florida an Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation designating 200,000 shares of preferred stock as Class A Variable Rate Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Class A Preferred Stock") and 22,500 shares of preferred stock as Class B Variable Rate Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Class B Preferred Stock"). The Class A Preferred Stock and Class B Preferred Stock both have a par value of $10 per share and are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a rate equal to 2% above the 30 day certificate of deposit rate in effect on the first day of each month at the Texas Commerce Bank. The Company has the right to redeem the Class A and Class B Preferred Stock for $10 per share plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends. Shares of Class A and F-15 MEDCROSS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 10 - Stockholders' equity, Preferred stock, continued Class B Preferred Stock may be converted into such number of whole shares of common stock as is determined by multiplying the number of shares of Class A Preferred Stock by a fraction, the numerator of which is $10 and the denominator is the conversion price ($.408625). Each share of Class A Preferred Stock will entitle the holder thereof to that number of votes which is equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the Class A Preferred Stock is convertible. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Class A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to distribution before any payments shall be made in respect to the Class B Preferred Stock or common stock in amounts equal to the par value per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends and the holders of Class B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to distribution before any payments shall be made in the respect to common stock in an amount equal to the par value per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. In August 1996 the Company filed with the State of Florida an Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation amending the designation of 240,000 shares of preferred stock as Class C Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Class C Preferred Stock"). The Class C Preferred Stock has a par value of $10 per share and holders are entitled to receive cumulative preferential dividends equal to 8% per annum of the liquidation preference per share of $60.00. Unless previously redeemed, the Class C Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock ("Conversion Shares"), at any time commencing November 21, 1996, at the option of the holder, into such number of shares of the Company's Common Stock as shall equal $60 divided by the lower of (i) $2.50, or (ii) the closing bid price for any five consecutive trading days during the period commencing on September 6, 1996 and ending on March 5, 1998 (subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments). As of December 31, 1996, none of the shares of Class C Preferred Stock has been converted. The Class C Preferred Stock is redeemable at any time prior to September 6, 2000, at the option of the Company at a redemption price equal to $60 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends, provided (i) the Conversion Shares are covered by an effective registration statement; and (ii) during the immediately preceding thirty (30) consecutive trading days ending within fifteen (15) days of the date of the notice of redemption, the closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock is not less than $8.00 per share. The Class C Preferred Stock is redeemable at any time after September 6, 2000, at the option of the Company at a redemption price equal to $90 plus accrued and unpaid dividends, provided the Conversion Shares are covered by an effective registration statement or the Conversion Shares are otherwise exempt from registration. At December 31, 1996, the Company had no shares of Class A Preferred Stock, 7,500 shares of Class B Preferred Stock, and 240,000 shares of Class C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. At December 31, 1996, 30,000 of the 500,000 shares of preferred stock authorized remain undesignated and unissued. Dividends in arrears at December 31, 1996 were $19,599 and $288,000 for Class B Preferred Stock and Class C Preferred Stock, respectively. Note 11 - Stock-Based Compensation Plans At December 31, 1996 the Company has five stock based compensation plans, which are described below. The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its fixed option plans. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock-based compensation plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the plan consistent with the method outlined by FASB Statement 123, the Company's net loss and loss per share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated as follows:
1996 1995 ---- ---- Net loss As reported $(23,064,240) $(551,909) Pro forma $(25,563,988) $(587,001) Loss per share As reported $(6.53) $(.39) Pro forma $(6.90) $(.41)

The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1996 and its quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the entire year. Reclassification. Certain balances in the June 30, 1996 financial statements as amended have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These changes had no effect on previously reported net loss, total assets, liabilities or stockholders' equity. Marketing services revenue. During the second quarter of 1997 the Company launched a multi-level marketing (MLM) channel to market its telecommunication services. Marketing services revenues from the MLM channel include revenues recognized from independent representatives for training, promotional and presentation materials. Intangibles. The Company regularly evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate the intangible assets may not be recoverable. When factors indicate the asset may not be recoverable, the Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted future cash flows compared to the carrying value of intangibles to determine if an impairment exists. Adjustments are made if the sum of the expected future net cash flows is less than carrying value. No such adjustments were necessary in the periods being reported on. Note 2 - Supplemental Cash Flow Information In February 1996, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of I-Link Worldwide, Inc. in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, of which 1,000,000 shares were held in escrow as of December 31, 1996. In June 1997, the Company became obligated to issue the remaining 1,000,000 shares of common stock (fair value of $8,875,000) from escrow. In April and June 1996, holders of certain promissory notes issued by the Company converted $10,000 and $180,542, respectively, into 140,000 and 64,372, respectively, shares of Common Stock. In January 1997, the Company agreed to issue 400,000 shares of common stock to acquire all of the issued and outstanding stock of Family Telecommunications Inc. ("FTI") effective January 1, 1997. F-29 MEDCROSS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 2 - Supplemental Cash Flow Information, continued In April 1997, the Company issued warrants to purchase 175,000 shares of common stock in connection with an $821,000 litigation settlement payable. In June 1997, the Company issued warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock in connection with a $2,000,000 loan. The value of the warrants was recorded as debt issuance costs. Note 3 - Acquisition of Subsidiaries Family Telecommunications Incorporated. On January 13, 1997, pursuant to the terms of a Share Exchange Agreement for the acquisition of Family Telecommunications Incorporated by Medcross, Inc. effective as of January 1, 1997 (the "Exchange Agreement"), the Company acquired the outstanding stock of Family Telecommunications Incorporated, a Utah corporation ("FTI"), from the stockholders of FTI, namely Robert W. Edwards, Jr. and Jerald L. Nelson. The consideration for the transaction consists of an aggregate of 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock to be issued by the Company upon approval by the Company's shareholders of an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation authorizing an increase in the number of shares of common stock from 20 million to 50 million. The purchase price was determined upon the negotiated value of the assets and operations of FTI. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in the quarter ended March 31, 1997. FTI is an FCC licensed long-distance carrier and provider of telecommunications services. John W. Edwards, President, a Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Robert W. Edwards, Jr., the principal shareholder of FTI, are brothers. There was no affiliation or relationship between the Company, its affiliates, officers or directors or associates of such persons and FTI or any if it's officers, directors or stockholders prior to the execution of the Exchange Agreement except as set forth herein. The acquisition cost of $2,415,000 (representing the fair value of the 400,000 shares to be issued) was allocated to the tangible net liabilities of $135,000 (based on their fair market value) with the excess acquisition cost over fair value of assets acquired of $2,550,000 allocated to intangible assets. The intangible assets are being amortized over periods ranging between three and ten years. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in conjunction with this acquisition were as follows: Current assets (including cash of $435,312) $ 1,740,000 Long-term assets 3,716,000 Current liabilities (1,330,000) Long-term liabilities (1,711,000) -------------- Net purchase price $ 2,415,000 ==============
As part of the common stock acquisition of FTI, the Company assumed current and long-term obligations in the amount of $1,991,000 as of December 31, 1996 to a long-distance provider for FTI's line costs. The note was increased approximately $700,000 for long-distance usage for January 1997. The note bears interest at 7% per annum. The note calls for payments of $50,000 per month beginning May 5, 1997 increasing to $75,000 on April 5, 1998 and $150,000 on October 5, 1998 with the balance of $1,100,000 due on April 5, 1999. Remaining principal payments under this specific note as of June 30, 1997 are as follows: June 30, 1998 $ 432,000 June 30, 1999 2,175,000 -------------- Total $ 2,607,000 ==============
F-30 MEDCROSS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 3 - Acquisition of Subsidiaries, continued Pro forma financial information. As discussed above, the Company acquired FTI during the six months ended June 30, 1997. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The consolidated financial statements as presented include the operating results of FTI from the date of acquisition. The following unaudited pro forma information presents a summary of consolidated results of operations of the Company and FTI as if the acquisition had occurred at March 20, 1996 (date of inception of FTI), with pro forma adjustments to give effect to amortization of intangible assets.
Three months ended --------------------------------- June 30, 1997 June 30, 1996 ---------------- ---------------- Revenue $ 3,569,000 $ 1,200,000 Net loss $ (4,843,000) $ (1,486,000) Loss per share $ (0.48) $ (0.33) Six months ended --------------------------------- June 30, 1997 June 30, 1996 ---------------- ---------------- Revenue $ 6,315,000 $ 1,809,000 Net loss $ (8,750,000) $ (8,096,000) Loss per share $ (0.88) $ (2.17)
MiBridge, Inc. - Subsequent Event. On June 5, 1997, the Company entered into a letter of intent with MiBridge, Inc. a New Jersey corporation ("MiBridge") pursuant to which the Company entered into negotiations to acquire all of the issued and outstanding stock of MiBridge from the principal shareholder. A final agreement was signed on August 12, 1997, with closing anticipated in the third quarter of 1997. The consideration ($8,250,000) for the transaction consisted of: (1) an aggregate of 1,000 shares of preferred stock to be issued, which preferred stock is convertible into such a number of common shares as shall equal the sum of $6,250,000 divided by $9.25 which price was the closing bid price of the Company's common stock on June 5, 1997 (the date a letter of intent was signed by the Company and MiBridge) and (2) a note payable in the amount of $2,000,000 payable in cash in quarterly installments over two years. The acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in the quarter ended September 30, 1997. MiBridge is the owner of patent-pending audio- conferencing technology and is a leader in creating speech-encoding and compression algorithms designed to produce superior audio quality and lower delay over low-band networks. Management estimates that the acquisition cost of $8,250,000 (representing the fair value of the common stock into which the 1,000 shares of preferred stock (to be issued) can be converted and the $2,000,000 note payable) will be allocated to tangible net assets of approximately $355,000 (based on their estimated fair value at final closing) with the balance of $7,895,000 allocated to acquired technology ($1,450,000), acquired in-process research and development ($4,240,000), employment contracts for the assembled workforce ($600,000) and excess acquisition cost over fair value of net assets acquired ($1,605,000). These assets are being amortized over three years, with the exception of the excess acquisition cost over fair value of net assets F-31 MEDCROSS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 3 - Acquisition of Subsidiaries, continued acquired which is being amortized over five years. The Company anticipates that the acquired in-process research and development will be expensed upon acquisition, as the research and development will not have reached technological feasibility at the closing date. Based on management's best estimate of the ultimate assets acquired and liabilities assumed at closing, the purchase price in conjunction with this acquisition will be allocated as follows: Current assets (including cash of $15,000) $ 453,000 Current liabilities (175,000) Tangible long-term assets 77,000 Intangible long-term assets 3,655,000 In-process research and development 4,240,000 -------------- Net purchase price $ 8,250,000 ==============
Note 4 - Long-Term Debt On June 6, 1997, the Company entered into a term loan agreement ("Loan Agreement") and promissory note ("Note") with Winter Harbor , LLC ("Winter Harbor") pursuant to which Winter Harbor agreed to loan to the Company the principal sum of $2,000,000 ("the Loan") for capital expenditures and working capital purposes. As further consideration for Winter Harbor's commitment to make the Loan, the Company granted to Winter Harbor a warrant ("Loan Warrant") to purchase up to five hundred thousand (500,000) shares of common stock of the Company (the "Common Stock") at a purchase price of $4.97 per share, subject to adjustment, pursuant to the terms of a Warrant Agreement between the parties. The Loan Warrant expires on March 11, 2002, and contains demand and piggyback registration rights and customary anti-dilution terms. The maturity date of the note is October 15, 1998. The fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the Loan has been reflected as debt issuance costs of $3,815,000, which amount will be amortized over the life of the Loan. The loan balance and unamortized debt issuance costs are reflected in the financial statements as follows: Long-term portion of note payable to a long-distance provider $ 2,202,194 Long-term debt - other 22,920 Long-term debt - Winter Harbor 2,000,000 Debt issuance costs (3,615,000) -------------- Long-term debt, net of debt issuance costs $ 610,114 ==============
On August 18, 1997 the Company amended the existing Note allowing for additional borrowings of up to $3,000,000. The incremental borrowings under this amendment have a maturity date of February 15, 1998. For every $1,000,000 drawn down on this extension, the Company will issue 100,000 warrants at current market price. All other provisions of this extension are the same as the Note discussed above. F-32 MEDCROSS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 5 - Imputed Interest on Convertible Notes Simultaneous with the closing of the Company's offering of Class C Preferred Stock in September 1996, the Company issued an aggregate of $717,000 in principal amount of Convertible Promissory Notes. The Company has recorded interest expense (non-cash) of $320,000 related to these promissory notes in the three months ended March 31, 1997. The interest expense is calculated as the difference between the conversion price per common share per the promissory notes as compared to the market price for the common stock on the date the notes were issued. The interest expense was recognized over the period between the date the promissory notes were issued and the date the promissory notes could first be converted. Note 6 - Commitments In February 1996, the Company agreed to issue a maximum of 4,000,000 shares of common stock to acquire the common stock of I-Link Worldwide Inc. As of June 30, 1997 the Company has issued 3,000,000 shares. The remaining 1,000,000 shares are to be released upon the first to occur of the following: (i) The monthly revenue derived from subscribers serviced by I-Link and revenue derived from the sale of related products and/or services equals or exceeds $1,000,000; or (ii) The number of subscribers serviced by I-Link exceeds 100,000 one year from the date of receipt by the Company of gross proceeds equal to $4,000,000 from the sale of its securities pursuant to one or more private or public offerings. Revenues for June 1997 were in excess of $1,000,000, and accordingly, the Company will issue the remaining 1,000,000 shares. The value of the common stock to be issued is $8,875,000 (based on the closing market price of the common stock on June 30, 1997) and has been recorded in the financial statements as an intangible asset representing excess cost over fair value of net assets acquired which is being amortized over five years. Note 7 - Income Taxes The Company recognized no income tax benefit for the losses generated in 1997 and 1996. Note 8 - Loss Per Common Share After Preferred Dividends Loss per common share is calculated as the net loss for the respective period plus cumulative preferred stock dividends not paid in the current period of $288,776 and $21,168 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 respectively, and $577,923 and $53,322 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996, respectively, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Options, warrants and convertible preferred stock are excluded from the calculation when their effect would be antidilutive. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share. This statement establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS") and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock. This statement simplifies the standards for computing EPS and makes them comparable to international EPS standards. This statement is effective for financial statements for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the recently issued statement and will adopt the requirements for the year ending December 31, 1997. F-33 MEDCROSS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 9 - Options and Warrants During the first six months of 1997, the Company granted options to purchase 3,545,000 shares of common stock to employees and consultants of the Company at a price (ranging from $5.75 to $9.875) equal to the common stock price on the day of grant. During the six months ended June 30, 1997, 20,000 options were exercised to purchase common stock. Included in the above grants, were 750,000 options granted to non-employees. The fair market value of the options was recorded as deferred compensation for stock options in the amount of $4,400,000. The deferred compensation is being amortized over the vesting period of the options (primarily three years). Note 10 - Changes in Stockholders' Equity During the six months ended June 30, 1997 changes in stockholders' equity were as follows: Common stock increased by $140 related to the exercise of an option to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock (see note 9). Additional paid-in capital increased due to the following: * $303,251 which was associated with the balance of amortization of interest expenses associated with issuance of convertible notes at a discount in 1996. * $821,000 which was associated with issuance of warrants in connection with a litigation settlement payable. * $22,360 related to the exercise of an option to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock (see note 9). * $3,815,000 related to issuance of 500,000 warrants in connection with a debt financing arrangement (see Note 4). * $4,400,000 related to the issuance of options to non-employees (see note 9). Common stock to be issued increased due to the following: * $2,414,583 in relation to the acquisition of FTI. The amount has been recorded as common stock to be issued as the Company does not presently have authorized shares to issue to FTI (see note 3). * $8,875,000 related to 1,000,000 shares of common stock to be issued in connection with the acquisition of I-Link Worldwide (see Note 6). Deferred compensation increased by $4,200,000 (net of $200,000 amortized during the period ended June 30, 1997) related to the issuance of stock options to non- employees (see note 9). Accumulated deficit increased by $8,749,640 which is the net loss for the first six months of 1997. F-34 MEDCROSS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 11 - Restatement of previously reported amounts Subsequent to its original filing of form 10-QSB for the period ended June 30, 1997, the Company determined that certain amounts as reported in the consolidated financial statements included transactions relative to the acquisition of MiBridge that should not have been included in the June 30, 1997 financial statements. Although the Company had entered into a letter of intent on June 5, 1997 to acquire MiBridge, the final closing of the acquisition is not expected until late August 1997 and accordingly should be recorded in the quarter ending September 30, 1997. Therefore, the June 30, 1997 financial statements have been restated as follows.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of the financial statements F-39 FAMILY TELECOMMUNICATIONS, INCORPORATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------- 1. THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: ----------------------------------------------- Organization ------------ Family Telecommunications, Incorporated (the Company), a Utah corporation, began operations on March 20, 1996. The Company provides long-distance telephone services including 1-plus long distance service, toll free services (800/888), worldwide calling card service, worldwide prepaid phone card service, long distance cellular phone service, data line service and T-span service. Through its Carrier Agreement with MCI Telecommunications Corporation, the Company provides long-distance service in the 48 continental states. The Company is a switchless reseller (having no equipment) in all states but Arizona where the Company provides service through its own switches. This allows the Company to offer additional services in its home state and surrounding states and other customized services to its entire customer base. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company: Cash and Cash Equivalents ------------------------- The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist primarily of money market accounts that are readily convertible to cash. Furniture and Equipment ----------------------- Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Telecommunications equipment 5-7 Office equipment and furniture 3-7
Maintenance and repairs, which are not considered betterments and do not extend the useful life of assets, are charged to expense as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in results of operations. Continued F-40 FAMILY TELECOMMUNICATIONS, INCORPORATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued -------- 1. THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued: ----------------------------------------------- Research and Development ------------------------ Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed currently. Income Taxes ------------ The Company has elected to be taxed as a U.S. small business corporation exempt from income taxes under Sub-Chapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the Company's shareholders are responsible for federal and state income taxes on their respective portions of the Company's earnings. Concentration of Credit Risk ---------------------------- Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk are primarily accounts receivable. In 1996 the Company generated approximately 89% of its long-distance revenues from one marketing group, although collections are made from each member of the group. The Company performs credit evaluations of its large customers but generally does not require collateral to support customer receivables. The majority of the Company's cash and cash equivalents are held by three financial institutions in Phoenix, Arizona. The Company has $175,000 which exceeds the FDIC insurance limits. Estimates --------- 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 and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Continued F-41 FAMILY TELECOMMUNICATIONS, INCORPORATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued -------- 2. ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE: ------------------------------------------ The Company has estimated an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable in the amount of $781,787 as of December 31, 1996.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements F-54 MIBRIDGE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------- 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: ------------------------------------------ Business Information -------------------- MiBridge, Inc. (the Company), a New Jersey corporation, began operations on March 18, 1996. The Company develops communications software that supports multimedia communications (voice, fax and audio) over the public switched telephone network (PSTN), local area networks (LANs) and the Internet. The Company creates speech encoding and compression algorithms designed to produce superior audio quality and lower delay over low-bandwidth networks. The interim financial data as of June 30, 1997 and for the six-month period then ended are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management of the Company, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company. Inventories ----------- Inventory consists of computer boards held for resale and is valued at the lower of actual cost or market. Cost is determined by specific identification of each unit. Furniture and Equipment ----------------------- Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Office equipment 3 years Furniture 5 years Maintenance and repairs, which are not considered betterments and do not extend the useful life of assets, are charged to expense as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in results of operations. Intangible Assets ----------------- Intangible assets include certain legal expenditures for patent filing fees relating to proprietary techniques developed by the Company. The patents are pending; therefore, no amortization of patent filing fees is reflected in the financial statements. Continued F-55 MIBRIDGE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued ------ 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued: ------------------------------------------ Revenue Recognition ------------------- Revenues are generally recognized as products are shipped or services are performed. Initial software royalties are recognized upon delivery of the master copy, as the Company is not required to provide any additional services. As minimum software usage levels are exceeded by the customer, the Company will receive additional royalties based on a per port usage. Most software is sold with maintenance contracts that cover periods from one to twelve months. Revenue related to these contracts is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the maintenance agreement. Certain development projects are jointly funded by a customer. Revenues on these long-term funded development contracts are recognized under the percentage of completion method of accounting and are measured based upon the level of effort expended on the project, compared to total billings allowed by the contract. Estimated contract earnings are reviewed and revised periodically as the work progresses. Estimated losses are charged against earnings in the period in which such losses are identified. In exchange for its participation in funding the project, the customer will receive joint marketing rights and a portion of future revenues from the sale of the developed technology based on a revenue sharing agreement. The amount of future revenues to be received by the customer party ranges between 20 and 55 percent and depends upon who markets the product and the terms of the specific contract. As of December 31, 1996, there were no sales of jointly developed products. Software Development Costs -------------------------- The Company capitalizes software development costs when the project reaches technological feasibility. Research and development costs related to software development that has not reached technological feasibility are expensed as incurred. Capitalized software development costs are amortized at the greater of the straight-line method over the expected life of the product (maximum three year period) or the ratio of current revenues for a product to the total of current and anticipated future revenues. Capitalized software development costs were $7,433 at December 31, 1996, net of accumulated amortization of $1,628. Continued F-56 MIBRIDGE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued -------- 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued: ------------------------------------------ Income Taxes ------------ The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". The Statement requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements based upon the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts expected to be realized. Concentration of Credit Risk ---------------------------- All of the Company's cash is held by one financial institution in New Jersey. The Company has approximately $54,000 that exceeds the FDIC insurance limits at December 31, 1996. During the period from inception to December 31, 1996 approximately 86% of the Company's revenues were related to one customer. Unbilled receivables from this customer represented approximately 51% of total assets as of December 31, 1996. Estimates --------- 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 and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Continued F-57 MIBRIDGE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued -------- 2. LONG-TERM CONTRACT ACCOUNTING ----------------------------- Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts consist of amounts of revenue recognized on contracts for which billings have not been recorded. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts consist of amounts of billings recognized on contracts in excess of costs. Contract revenues and costs related to uncompleted contracts are included in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 1996 under the following captions: Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts $ 248,500 Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts - --------- $ 248,500 ========= Costs incurred on long-term contracts $ 104,000 Estimated earnings 424,500 Billings to date (280,000) --------- $ 248,500 =========
3. INCOME TAXES ------------ The income tax provision for the period since inception to December 31, 1996 consists of the following: Current federal income tax provision $ 109,094 Current state income tax provision 31,734 Deferred tax provision 2,253 --------- Income tax provision $ 143,081 =========
Continued F-58 MIBRIDGE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued -------- 3. INCOME TAXES, continued ------------ The reported provision for income taxes varies from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate to income before taxes primarily because of state taxes and certain non-deductible meals and entertainment. The components of the net deferred tax asset and liability as of December 31, 1996 are as follows: Deferred tax assets: Stock award compensation expense $ 22,189 Accrued director's fees 19,970 --------- Total deferred tax asset 42,159 ========= Deferred tax liability: Excess tax depreciation (6,727) Capitalized software development costs (2,969) Prepaid salaries (34,716) --------- Total deferred tax liability (44,412) --------- Net deferred tax liability $ (2,253) =========
The net deferred tax liability as of December 31, 1996 is reflected in the balance sheet as follows: Current deferred tax asset $ 7,443 Long-term deferred tax liability (9,696) --------- $ (2,253) =========
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS -------------------------- During 1996, the owner of the Company advanced a total of $62,000 to the Company to fund operations. These advances were repaid during the period. During the period ended December 31, 1996, the Company had sales of $25,000 with Medcross, Inc. (see note 7). Continued F-59 MIBRIDGE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued -------- 5. STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY -------------------- Common Stock ------------ At the inception of the Company, the owner contributed $1,000 in exchange for 6,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Additional Paid in Capital - Stock Awards ----------------------------------------- During the year, the sole shareholder of the Company granted certain employees options to buy shares of stock owned by the shareholder. The awards were granted to attract and retain qualified employees for the Company, and accordingly, the Company has accounted for these awards as if they had been made directly by the Company. The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for stock compensation awards. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock-based awards been determined based on fair-value at the grant date consistent with the minimum value method outlined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, the difference would have been insignificant. The number of options outstanding and the weighted average exercise price per option are as follows:
Weighted Average Exercise Options Price ---------- ---------- Outstanding at beginning of year Granted 900,000 $0.00 --------- ---------- Outstanding at end of year 900,000 $0.00 ========= ========== Options exercisable at year end - $0.00 ========= ==========
The awards were granted in equal amounts in May, June and August of 1996 and vest annually over a three year period (weighted average remaining life of 2.4 years). Additional paid-in capital and deferred compensation recorded during the year represent the difference between the exercise price of the options and the value of the stock, which is based on management's best estimate of the fair value of the Company at the stock option grant date. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the options. Vesting of the awards would be accelerated should the Company be purchased. Continued F-60 MIBRIDGE, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued -------- 6. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS --------------------- The Company has employment agreements with seven employees of the Company providing for a salary continuation (usually three years) in the event of termination for reasons other than cause. As of December 31, 1996, if all of the employees under contract at that date were to be terminated by the Company without cause, the Company's total future payments to these employees would be approximately $600,000. 7. ACQUISITION OF THE COMPANY BY MEDCROSS, INC. -------------------------------------------- On June 5, 1997, the Company entered into a letter of intent with Medcross, Inc. (Medcross) pursuant to which the Company entered into negotiations to sell 100% of the Company's outstanding stock. A final agreement was signed on August 12, 1997, with closing anticipated in the third quarter of 1997. Under the finalized agreement, Medcross will acquire 100% of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock in exchange for 1,000 shares of Medcross Series D Preferred stock and a promissory note of $2,000,000, payable with interest in quarterly installments over the two years. The preferred shares are convertible at the option of the prior MiBridge shareholders into Medcross common stock shares equal in number to $6,250,000 divided by the lower of $9.25 or the average closing bid price of Medcross common stock for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date.

NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) -------- 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION: --------------------- The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 1997 and the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996 give effect to the acquisitions of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Family Telecommunications Incorporated (FTI) and MiBridge, Inc. (MiBridge) by Medcross, Inc. (the "Company") as if the acquisitions, accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, had occurred on the balance sheet date with respect to the balance sheet and on March 20, 1996 (date of inception of FTI) and March 18, 1996 (date of inception of MiBridge) with respect to the statements of operations. FTI was acquired by the Company effective January 1, 1997. The acquisition of MiBridge is expected to close in the third quarter of 1997. The pro forma financial statements have been prepared based upon the financial statements of the Company, MiBridge and FTI as of and for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997 and for the year ended December 31, 1996. These pro forma financial statements may not be indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the combinations had been in effect on the dates indicated or which may be obtained in the future. The pro forma adjustments are based upon certain estimates that may change as additional information becomes available. The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the Company, MiBridge and FTI. 2. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS: --------------------- The pro forma adjustments reflected in the pro forma financial statements are summarized in items A to H below: A. Pro forma adjustment to eliminate $596,000 in intercompany accounts receivable and notes payable of the Company and FTI, respectively. B. Pro forma adjustment to remove the following intercompany transactions: (1) intercompany sales (between FTI and the Company) of long-distance service ($5,026), (2) intercompany sales (between MiBridge and the Company) of software ($25,000) and (3) profit on intercompany sale (between the Company and FTI) of equipment resulting in a gain to FTI of ($585,541).

PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS, continued: --------------------- C. Pro forma adjustment reflecting the purchase by the Company of all of the outstanding common stock of MiBridge in return for issuance of 1,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock of the Company and a note payable of $2,000,000: The purchase price allocations of FTI and MiBridge (estimate) are as follows:
FTI MiBridge Combined ---------- ---------- ----------- Note payable $ - $2,000,000 $ 2,000,000 Common stock (400,000 shares issued at $0.07 par value with a market value of $6.03 per share) 2,800 - 2,800 Preferred stock (1,000 shares issued at $10.00 par value with a total market value of $6,250,000) - 10,000 10,000 Additional paid in capital 2,411,783 6,240,000 8,651,783 ---------- ---------- ----------- Purchase price 2,414,583 8,250,000 10,664,583 Net liabilities assumed (assets acquired) 135,420 (355,000) (219,580) ---------- ---------- ----------- Excess (allocated to intangible assets, acquired in-process research and development and goodwill) $2,550,003 $7,895,000 $10,445,003 ========== ========== ===========
Allocation of the excess purchase price for MiBridge is anticipated to be approximately as follows: goodwill ($1,605,000), workforce in place ($600,000), completed technology ($1,450,000) and in-process research and development ($4,240,000). Goodwill is amortized over 5 years. All other intangible assets are amortized over three years. Acquired in-process research and development will be expensed at the acquisition date (expected to be in the third quarter of 1997), but is not included in the pro forma statements of operations as it represents a non-recurring charge. The allocation of excess purchase price to these intangible assets and in- process research and development is subject to final revisions which, if material, the amounts allocated to the intangible assets, specifically goodwill, may be revised. F-66 MEDCROSS, INC., FAMILY TELECOMMUNICATIONS INCORPORATED (FTI) AND MIBRIDGE, INC. NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) -------- 2. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS, continued: --------------------- Allocation of excess purchase price for FTI to intangible assets is as follows: goodwill ($1,490,003), customer list ($520,000), and carrier identification code and tariff registration status ($540,000). Goodwill and carrier identification code and tariff registration status are being amortized over 10 years. The customer list is being amortized over three years. These intangible assets and related amortization are reflected in the FTI column (as of and for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997) as the acquisition was effective January 1, 1997. Accordingly, pro forma adjustments relative to the acquisition of FTI are required only for the combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1996. D. The historical balance sheet of FTI as presented includes the transactions recorded at the acquisition date to give effect to the purchase price allocation. The related investment in FTI ($2,414,583) by the Company is being carried on the Company's books as "Investment in FTI" and on FTI's books as additional paid-in capital. This pro forma adjustment is provided to eliminate these intercompany accounts. E. Pro forma adjustments to remove MiBridge estimated stockholder's equity accounts as of the acquisition date as part of the purchase price allocation process. F. Pro forma adjustments to reflect the estimated effect of the purchase price allocation adjustments to property and equipment of MiBridge. G. Pro forma adjustments to record estimated amortization of intangible assets (see item C above) of MiBridge and FTI. No pro forma adjustment is required for the amortization of intangible assets of FTI for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997 as these amounts are already included in the historical amounts presented in the FTI column. H. Pro forma adjustment to reflect the impact of filing a consolidated income tax return and to eliminate the deferred tax liabilities of MiBridge as a result of the purchase price allocation. F-67 MEDCROSS, INC., FAMILY TELECOMMUNICATIONS INCORPORATED (FTI) AND MIBRIDGE, INC. NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) -------- 3. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE AFTER PREFERRED DIVIDENDS: --------------------------------------------------- The pro forma net loss per common share for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997 is computed based on the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period (10,617,597) and assumes that the 400,000 shares to be issued in connection with the FTI acquisition were outstanding for the entire period. The pro forma net loss per common share for the year-ended December 31, 1996 is computed based on the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the year (6,780,352) and assumes that the 400,000 shares to be issued in connection with the FTI acquisition were outstanding from March 20, 1996 (date of inception of FTI). Options, warrants and convertible preferred stock (as in the case of the MiBridge acquisition) are excluded from the calculation as their effect would be anti-dilutive. The net loss per common share after preferred dividends includes $577,923 and $21,223,629 of cumulative preferred stock dividends not paid for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996, respectively.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Section 607.0850 of the Florida Business Corporation Act empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party to a proceeding by reason of the fact that he was or is an officer, director, employee or agent of the corporation against liability incurred in connection with such proceeding. Such person must have acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation. With respect to any criminal proceeding, such person must have had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Any such indemnification may only be made upon a determination by the corporation that such indemnification is proper because the person met the applicable standard of conduct. The Florida Business Corporation Act provides further that the indemnification permitted thereunder is not exclusive; provided, however, indemnification is not permitted to be made on behalf of any such person if a judgment or final adjudication establishes (i) a violation of the criminal law unless such person had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; (ii) such person derived an improper personal benefit from the transaction; (iii) as to any director such proceeding arose from an unlawful distribution under Section 607.0834; or (iv) willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best interests of the corporation in a proceeding by the corporation or a shareholder. The Company's By-Laws provide that the Company shall indemnify any such person to the fullest extent provided by law and empowers the Company to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any such person. The Company previously entered into indemnification agreements in 1988 with certain officers and directors of the Company for indemnification against expenses (including attorneys' fees, through all proceedings, trials, and appeals), judgments, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any threatened, pending, or contemplated action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, arising from any actual or alleged breach of duty, neglect, effort, or other action taken or omitted, solely in the capacity as an officer and/or a director of the Company; provided that no indemnification will be made in respect of any acts or omissions (a) involving gross negligence or willful misconduct, (b) involving libel or slander, or (c) based upon or attributable to gaining, directly or indirectly, any profit or advantage to which he was not legally entitled. INSOFAR AS INDEMNIFICATION FOR LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT MAY BE PERMITTED TO DIRECTORS, OFFICERS OR PERSONS CONTROLLING THE COMPANY PURSUANT TO THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS, THE COMPANY HAS BEEN INFORMED THAT IN THE OPINION OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, SUCH INDEMNIFICATION IS AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY AS EXPRESSED IN THE SECURITIES ACT AND IS THEREFORE UNENFORCEABLE. Other Arrangements The Company maintains a "claims made" officers and directors liability insurance policy with coverage limits of $3,000,000 and a maximum $100,000 deductible amount for each claim.

Item 26. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities. The Registrant has issued the following securities during the past three years: In November 1994, the Company issued a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to JW Charles Financial Services, Inc. to purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock (331,126 shares as adjusted) pursuant to the terms of a Financial Consulting Agreement between the Company and Corporate Management Group, Inc. Pursuant to a Consulting Agreement dated as of August 6, 1995 between the Company and Timothy R. Barnes, the Company issued a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase 36,858 shares of Common Stock to Mr. Barnes. In October 1995, the Company issued a Common Stock Purchase Option to Scott Cook to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with a loan to I-Link, Ltd. In February 1996, in connection with the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding shares of I-Link Worldwide Inc., the Company issued an aggregate of 4 million shares of Common Stock to the owners of I-Link Worldwide Inc. In February 1996, in connection with loans, the Company issued a Series II Non-Negotiable 10% Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $50,000 to Joseph Wong and a Series III Non-Negotiable 10% Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $50,000 to Trident I, LLC. Each of the holders of the notes converted $5,000 of the principal amount of the notes to 70,000 shares of Common Stock in June 1996. In February 1996, the Company completed a private placement of $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of convertible promissory notes (the "10% Notes"). Up to $1,250 of each $50,000 in principal amount of the 10% Note was convertible at any time at the option of the holder, into an aggregate of 350,000 shares of Common Stock at the rate of approximately $.0714 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments; and such principal amount was converted to Common Stock in August 1996. Commonwealth Associates served as the placement agent for the offering. On September 6, 1996, the Company closed a private placement of 240,000 shares of Class C Preferred Stock, $10 par value per share. In addition, the Company issued $717,000 of principal amount of Convertible Promissory Notes payable on April 1, 1997 (the "Maturity Date") and bearing interest at 8% per annum (previously defined as the "Convertible Notes"). The unpaid principal amount of a Convertible Note will be automatically converted into shares of Class C Preferred Stock at any time prior to the close of business on the Maturity Date at the rate of $60 per share of Class C Preferred Stock upon certain conditions being met. Commonwealth Associates acted as the placement agent for the Class C Offering. II-2 The Company issued to Commonwealth Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to 250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock and Consultant's Warrants to purchase up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock (together previously defined as the "Commonwealth Warrants"). The Commonwealth Warrants will be exercisable for five (5) years commencing March 1997 at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, subject to adjustment. In April 1996, pursuant to an employment agreement, the Company agreed to grant to John W. Edwards, President of the Company, an option to purchase 1 million shares of Common Stock of the Company. In consideration for the amendment of the employment agreement, effective August 21, 1996, the Company agreed to grant Mr. Edwards options to purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock. In June 1996, the Company completed a private placement of $375,000 in principal amount of Non-Negotiable 8% Promissory Notes and Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase 120,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. Commonwealth served as the placement agent for the offering. In July 1996, the Company approved the grant of options to purchase 1,500,000 and 500,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, to Clay Wilkes and Alex Radulovic, officers of I-Link. In August 1996, the Company agreed to issue to William H. Flury and John W. Edwards, officers of the company and/or I-Link, warrants to purchase 5,000 shares and 25,000 shares, respectively, in connection with loans to I-Link. In October 1996, pursuant to an employment agreement, the Company agreed to grant to each of Karl S. Ryser, Jr. and William H. Flury, officers of I-Link, options to purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company. In January 1997, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Family Telecommunications Incorporated (subsequently renamed I-Link Communications, Inc. and referred to herein as "FTI") pursuant to which the Company acquired the outstanding stock of FTI in exchange for 400,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. In April 1997, the Company agreed to issue to the Hardy Group warrants to purchase an aggregate of 175,000 shares of Common Stock, in connection with the Settlement Agreement between JW Charles and the Company. In May 1997 the Company issued additional options to purchase shares of Common Stock to certain of its officers or officers of I-Link, as follows: John Edwards and Robert Edwards--500,000 shares of Common Stock each; Karl S. Ryser, Jr., David Hardy and William Flury--250,000 shares of Common Stock each. In addition, each of Messrs. Ryser and Hardy received commitments that the Company would issue each of them options to purchase 300,000 shares of Common Stock, but only in the event of the closing of a contemplated investment in the Company by Winter Harbor, L.L.C. In June 1997, the Company agreed to issue to Winter Harbor, L.L.C. ("Winter Harbor") warrants (the "WH Loan Warrants") to purchase up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with a loan by Winter Harbor to the Company. In addition, on the same date the Company executed a letter of intent with Winter Harbor pursuant to which Winter Harbor contemplates making an investment in the Company in the amount of $12,100,000. Upon closing of the Winter Harbor investment, the Company has agreed to issue to Winter Harbor (i) shares of a new series of preferred stock (the "Series M Preferred Stock") which will be convertible into an aggregate of 4,400,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) additional warrants to acquire (a) 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Series A Warrants"); (b) 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Series B Warrants"); and (c) 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Series C Warrants"). In August 1997 the Company amended its loan arrangements with Winter Harbor such that the total amount of indebtedness was increased thereunder. In connection with such amendment the Company issued an additional 300,000 warrants to purchase Common Stock to Winter Harbor. In August 1997, the Company executed an agreement with MiBridge, Inc. pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire MiBridge. The closing of the MiBridge Acquisition occurred on September 2, 1997. The Company agreed it would issue to the shareholders of MiBridge, as consideration for the purchase of all II-3 outstanding MiBridge equity securities, (i) an aggregate $2,000,000 in cash, payable in quarterly installments for two years, and (ii) an aggregate 1,000 shares of a new series of preferred stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock"). The 1,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock will be convertible into such number of shares of Common Stock as shall equal $6,250,000 divided by $9.25 (the "MiBridge Conversion Price"). On the nine-month anniversary of the closing of the MiBridge acquisition, any unconverted Series D Preferred Stock shall automatically convert to Common Stock. In either case, the Series D Preferred Stock shall be converted at the lower of the MiBridge Conversion Price or the average closing bid price for the five trading days immediately preceding the date the Company receives notice of conversion or the automatic conversion date, as the case may be. The Company and Winter Harbor executed a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 30, 1997 and providing for a closing on October 10, 1997, pursuant to which Winter Harbor will invest $12,100,000 in a new series of the Company's convertible preferred stock (the "Series M Preferred Stock"). Winter Harbor will purchase approximately 2,545 shares of Series M Preferred Stock (convertible into 2,545,000 shares of Common Stock) for an aggregate cash consideration of approximately $7,000,000 (equivalent to $2.75 per share of Common Stock). The agreement with Winter Harbor also provides for purchase of approximately 1,855 additional shares of Series M Preferred Stock (convertible into 1,855,000 shares of Common Stock). Such additional shares of Series M Preferred Stock will be paid for by exchanging $5,000,000 outstanding principal balance plus approximately $100,000 accrued interest due under the Note. As additional consideration for its equity financing commitments, Winter Harbor will be issued additional warrants by the Company to acquire (a) 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share (the "Series A Warrants"), (b) 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share (the "Series B Warrants") and (c) 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.69 per share (the "Series C Warrants"). The respective exercise prices for the Series A Warrants, the Series B Warrants and the Series C Warrants (collectively, the "Investment Warrants") shall be subject to adjustment. The Series A Warrants will be exercisable at any time for thirty months from the date of issuance, and the Series B Warrants and Series C Warrants will be exercisable at any time for sixty months from the date of issuance. All of the Investment Warrants (i) will have demand registration rights and anti-dilution rights and (ii) will contain cashless exercise provisions. The Company believes that the transactions set forth above were exempt from registration with the Commission pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. Except as disclosed above, no broker-dealer or underwriter was involved in the foregoing transactions. All certificates representing such securities have been or will be appropriately legended. The February, June and September 1996 placements were made in reliance upon a claim of exemption pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D. Additionally, the participants in the February, June and September 1996 private placements were accredited investors. Item 27. Exhibits.

Item 28. Undertakings (a) Rule 415 Offering. The undersigned Registrant will: (1) File, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to: (i) Include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; and (iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution. (2) For determining liability under the Securities Act treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the Securities offered, and the offering of the Securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering. (3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the Securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering. II-10 (e) Indemnification. 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 provisions referred to in Item 22 of this Registration Statement, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission 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. (f) Rule 430A. The undersigned Registrant will: (1) For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat 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 small business issuer under Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act as part of this Registration Statement as of the time the Commission declared it effective. (2) For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new registration statement for the Securities offered in the Registration Statement, and that offering of the Securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those Securities. II-11 SIGNATURES In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form SB-2 and has authorized this Registration Statement, as amended, to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, in the City of Draper, State of Utah, on October 20, 1997.

THIS WARRANT HAS BEEN TAKEN BY THE REGISTERED OWNER FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES ONLY AND NOT WITH A VIEW TOWARD RESALE OR DISTRIBUTION HEREOF. THIS WARRANT MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR DISPOSED OF WITHOUT AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER HEREOF THAT SUCH TRANSFER OR DISPOSITION DOES NOT VIOLATE THE SECURITIES ACT, THE RULES AND REGULATIONS THEREUNDER, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

No. Hardy Group- Number of Shares Purchasable Upon Issue Date: As of April 29, 1997 Exercise of Warrant: Void after 5:00 p.m. New York Time on April 29, 2002 COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT OF MEDCROSS, INC. This is to certify that, subject to the provisions of this Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the "Warrant") and for value received, (the "Holder") is entitled to purchase ( ) shares of common stock, $.007 par value per share (the "Common Stock") subject to adjustment as set forth herein of Medcross, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Company"), at an exercise price of Two and 50/100 Dollars ($2.50) per share (the "Exercise Price"), at any time during the period ending April 29, 2002 (the "Expiration Date"), but not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the Expiration Date. 1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 below, this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or from time to time on or after the issue date and until the Expiration Date; provided, however, that if either of such days is a day on which banking institutions are authorized by law to close (a "Bank Holiday"), then on the next 1 succeeding day which shall not be a Bank Holiday. This Warrant may be exercised by presentation and surrender hereof to the Company at its principal office or at the office of its transfer agent, if any (the "Transfer Agent"). The presentation and surrender of this Warrant for exercise must be accompanied by: (a) the form of subscription which is attached hereto in Annex A (the "Form of Subscription") duly executed with signature guaranteed, and (b) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of shares specified in such form. If this Warrant should be exercised in part only, upon presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the Company or the Transfer Agent for cancellation, the Company shall execute and deliver a new warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the balance of the shares purchasable hereunder. Upon receipt of this Warrant by the Company at its office or by the Transfer Agent at its office, in proper form for exercise, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise; provided, however, that if at the date of surrender of such Warrant and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price, the transfer books for the Common Stock shall be closed, the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock or other securities subject to issuance upon such exercise shall be issuable as of the date on which the Company's transfer books shall next be opened. Until such date, the Company shall be under no duty to deliver any certificate representing such shares of Common Stock or other securities and the Holder shall not be deemed to have become a holder of record or owner of such shares of Common Stock or such other securities. The Company reserves the right to pay any broker- dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, a fee not to exceed ten percent of the Exercise Price upon the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with applicable federal and state securities laws and applicable regulations of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. 2. RESERVATION OF SHARES. There shall at all times be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be subject hereto. 3. FRACTIONAL SHARES. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant. If any fraction of a share would, except for the provisions hereof, be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, then: (a) if the fraction of a share otherwise issuable is equal to or less than one-half, the Company shall round down and issue only the largest whole number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is otherwise entitled, or (b) if the fraction of a share otherwise issuable is greater than one-half, the Company shall round up and issue one additional share of Common Stock in addition to the largest whole number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is otherwise entitled. 4. EXCHANGE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF WARRANT. Subject to the provisions of this section and of Section 9 below, this Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company or the Transfer Agent, for other warrants of different denominations entitling the holder thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. Subject to the provisions of this section and of Section 9 below, upon surrender of this Warrant 2 to the Company or the Transfer Agent accompanied by: (a) the form of assignment which is attached hereto as Annex B (the "Form of Assignment") duly executed; and (b) funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new warrant in the name of the assignee named in the Form of Assignment and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other warrants which carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the office of the Company or the Transfer Agent, accompanied by a written notice signed by the Holder hereof specifying the names and denominations in which new warrants are to be issued. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may, without any obligation to do so, at its option, at any time and from time to time prior to the Expiration Date require that the Holder surrender this Warrant to the Company or the Transfer Agent in exchange for a warrant certificate in engraved or other form as may be approved by the Board of Directors representing this Warrant, bearing such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends, summaries or endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as the Board of Directors may deem appropriate, having terms and conditions substantially similar to those contained in this Warrant or which, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors, afford the Holder or Holders of the outstanding Warrants issued by the Company as a class a net benefit when considered under the totality of the circumstances or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which the Warrants may be listed, or to conform to usage; it being understood and agreed, however, that the terms and conditions of this Warrant may be modified, amended or superseded by the Company at any time hereafter as set forth herein. The term "Warrant" as defined above shall hereafter include any warrant into which this Warrant may be divided, exchanged or combined, and any Warrant as the same may be hereafter modified or amended from time to time. 5. THEFT, DESTRUCTION, LOSS OR MUTILATION OF WARRANT. Subject to the provisions of Section 4, in the event of the theft, destruction, loss or mutilation of this Warrant, upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of such theft, destruction, loss or mutilation and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of such indemnification as the Company may in its discretion impose, and in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver a new warrant of like tenor and date. 6. RIGHTS OF THE HOLDER. Prior to the exercise of any Warrant represented hereby, the Holder shall not be entitled by virtue hereof to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or equity. The rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are enforceable against the Company only to the extent set forth herein. 7. ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS. The Exercise Price and the number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter provided: 3 (a) In case the Company shall issue Common Stock as a dividend upon Common Stock or in payment of a dividend thereon, or shall subdivide the number of outstanding shares of its Common Stock into a greater number of shares or shall contract the number of outstanding shares of its Common Stock into a lesser number of shares, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be adjusted, effective at the close of business on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive the same, to the price (computed to the nearest cent) determined by dividing (A) the product obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such record date by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to such dividend, subdivision or contraction, by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend, subdivision, or contraction. (b) If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation shall be effected, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant had such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale not taken place, and in any such case appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder to the end that the provisions of this Warrant (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Exercise Price and of the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any shares of stock, securities, or assets thereafter deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume, by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to purchase. (c) Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant hereto, the number of shares of Common Stock specified in this Warrant shall thereupon evidence the right to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock (calculated to the nearest hundredth of a share of Common Stock) obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment upon exercise of this Warrant and dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price in effect after such adjustment. 4 (d) Irrespective of any adjustments of the number or kind of securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant or the Exercise Price, any warrants theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same number of shares of Common Stock and Exercise Price as are stated in similar warrants previously issued. (e) The Company may, at its sole option, retain the independent public accounting firm regularly retained by the Company, or another firm of independent public accountants of recognized standing selected by the Company's board of directors (the "Board of Directors"), to make any computation required under this section and a certificate signed by such firm shall be conclusive evidence of any computation made under this section. (f) Whenever there is an adjustment in the Exercise Price and/or in the number or kind of securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, as provided herein, the Company shall: (i) promptly file in the custody of its Secretary or Assistant Secretary a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or the President or an Executive Vice President of the Company and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, showing in detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the number and kind of securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant after such adjustment; and (ii) cause a notice to be sent to the Holder stating that such adjustment has been effected and stating the Exercise Price then in effect and the number and kind of securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant, the Exercise Price shall never be less than the Conversion Price, as adjusted, of the Class C Convertible Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, computed in accordance with the Articles of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company dated August 15, 1996. (h) The Exercise Price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall only be adjusted in the manner and upon the conditions heretofore specifically referred to in this Section 7. 8. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows: a. Definitions. As used in this section, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below: (i) The terms "register," "registered" and "registration" shall refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement or similar document in compliance with the Securities Act, and the declaration or ordering of the effectiveness of such registration statement or document. (ii) The term "Registrable Securities" shall mean: (A) this Warrant; 5 (B) the Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant; and (C) any warrant or Common Stock or other securities of the Company issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security which is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, in exchange for or in replacement of such Warrant or Common Stock referenced in subsections (A) or (B) immediately above, excluding in all cases, however, any Registrable Securities sold to the public pursuant to a registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom. (b) Demand Registration Rights. At any time commencing December 31, 1997 and through the period ending on the Expiration Date, upon the written request of the Holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Registerable Securities (the "Initiating Holders"), the Company shall, on not more than one occasion, afford all of the Holders of Registrable Securities (as reflected in the records of the Company) the opportunity to effect the registration of the offer and sale of the Registerable Securities. (c) Piggy-back Registration Rights. If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company, at any time through the period ending on April 29, 2002, proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for securityholders other than the Holder) any of its securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than a registration on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any form which does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities), the Company shall, each such time, promptly give the Holder written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of the Holder given within twenty (20) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of this section, cause to be registered under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities that the Holder has requested to be registered; provided, however, that the Company shall have no such obligation if, in the good faith judgment of the Company's Board of Directors, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its securityholders to include any Registrable Securities in the subject registration statement or offering or if the managing underwriter of the subject proposed offering objects in writing addressed to the Company to the inclusion of any Registrable Securities in the subject registration statement or offering; and provided further, however, that the Registrable Securities shall be subject to restrictions on transfer for ninety (90) days after the effective date of the subject registration statement. The inclusion of any of the Holder's Registrable Securities in a registration statement filed by the Company and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") shall be deemed to be the exercise by such Holder of the piggy-back registration rights granted herein to such Holder. (d) Obligations of the Company. Whenever required hereunder to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible: 6 (i) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for at least four (4) months. (ii) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement. (iii) Furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them. (iv) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under the securities laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders for the distribution of the securities covered by the registration statement, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. (v) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement with terms generally satisfactory to the managing underwriter of such offering. (vi) Notify the Holders, promptly after the Company shall have received notice thereof, of the time when the registration statement becomes effective or any supplement to any prospectus forming a part of the registration statement has been filed. (vii) Notify the Holders of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement and use its reasonable best efforts to remove such stop order. e. Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant hereto that the Holder, having chosen to have its Registrable Securities included for registration, shall furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder, its Registrable Securities and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration thereof. The Holder shall be required to represent to the Company that all such information which is given is complete and accurate in all material respects. The Holder shall deliver to the Company a statement in writing from the beneficial owners of such securities that such beneficial owners bona fide intend to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of such securities. 7 f. Expenses. (i) Registration Expenses. All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with this section, including without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, "Blue Sky" fees and expenses, and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration (but excluding the compensation of regular employees of the Company which shall be paid in any event by the Company) shall be borne by the Company. (ii) Selling Expenses. All underwriting discounts, underwriters' expense allowance, and selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities by the Holders and all fees and disbursements of any special counsel (other than the Company's regular counsel) shall be borne by the Holders of the Registrable Securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities so registered. g. Underwriting Requirements. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an underwriting in which the Company has proposed or is proposing to participate, shall (together with the Company and any other Holders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other subsection of this section, at the request of the managing underwriter, the Holder shall delay the sale of Registrable Securities which such Holder has requested be registered hereunder for up to ninety (90) days following the effective date of the registration statement. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall not be withdrawn from such registration except at the election of the Holder. h. Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this section. i. Indemnification. In the event that any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement pursuant hereto: (i) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors and partners of each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations 8 (collectively, a "Violation"): (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto; (B) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (C) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any applicable state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any applicable state securities law; and the Company will reimburse the Holder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by the Holder; and further provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to any untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission made in any preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the prospectus, such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any underwriter or broker, if a copy of the prospectus was not sent or given to such person with or prior to the confirmation of the sale of such securities to such person. (ii) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers, any person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, any underwriter (within the meaning of the Securities Act) for the Company and any person who controls such underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, or underwriter or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by the Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and the Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or controlling person thereof, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. (iii) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party hereunder, notify the 9 indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to notify an indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, to the extent prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party hereunder, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this subsection. j. Reports Under Exchange Act. Following registration of the Company's securities under the Exchange Act and with a view of making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation promulgated by the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company agrees to: (i) use its best efforts to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times; and (ii) use its best efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. k.

Pursuant to Article III(b) of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of Medcross, Inc. (the "Company"), and the provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act, the Board of Directors of the Company has resolved to amend Article III of the Articles of Incorporation as set forth herein. A. The name of the corporation is MEDCROSS, INC. B. Article III of the Articles of Incorporation is hereby amended by adding a new Section III(h), which shall read in its entirety as follows: (h) Of the 500,000 shares of Preferred Stock authorized hereunder, 1,000 shares of Preferred Stock shall be designated as a new Series D Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock"), which shall have a par value of $10.00 per share, and which shall have the following rights and preferences: 1. Dividends. If and when dividends are declared by the Board of Directors on the shares of Common Stock, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the same dividend as declared on the shares of Common Stock based on the number of shares of Common Stock which would have been held by the holder of each issued and outstanding share of Series D Preferred Stock if that share of Series D Preferred Stock had been converted in accordance with Section III(g)(3) below to shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the record date for the dividend. 2. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Series D Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights. 3. Conversion Into Common Stock. (i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section III(g)(3), each issued and outstanding share of Series D Preferred Stock may be converted, at the option of the holder at any time within the nine (9) month period beginning September 2, 1997 and ending on June 1, 1998 (the "Conversion Period") into such number of shares of Common Stock (the "Conversion Shares") as shall equal 6250 divided by the lower of (a) $9.25, or (b) the average closing bid price of the Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date as established in Sub-section (iii) below. (ii) Each issued and outstanding share of Series D Preferred Stock which has not been converted to Common Stock at the election of the holder thereof during the Conversion Period pursuant to Sub-section (i) above, shall be automatically converted to Common Stock effective on the last day of the Conversion Period on the same basis as calculated and established for that date in Sub-section (i) above. (iii) The holder may exercise this right of conversion only by delivering written notice to the Company that the holder elects to convert a stated number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock ("Conversion Date") and surrendering to the Company a certificate or certificates for the shares of the Series D Preferred Stock to be converted, at the principal office of the Company, at any time during its usual business hours on the Conversion Date. (iv) Promptly after the receipt of certificates representing Series D Preferred Stock and surrender of Series D Preferred Stock, the Company shall issue and deliver, or cause to be issued and delivered, to the holder a certificate or certificates for the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such Series D Preferred Stock. No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock. To the extent permitted by law, the conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the Conversion Date (or on the next preceding business day if the Conversion Date is not a business day) and at that time the rights of the holder of Series D Preferred Stock, as such holder, shall cease, and the holder of the Series D Preferred Stock shall become the holder of record of shares of Common Stock. 4. Liquidation Rights. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall have a liquidation preference of $6,250.00 per share. This liquidation preference shall be subordinate to the liquidation preferences attached to any issued and outstanding shares of Class A, Class B and Class C Preferred Stock, but shall rank senior to the shares of Common Stock of the Company. C. The foregoing Articles of Amendment were duly adopted by the Board of Directors without the requirement of shareholder action by meeting held on July 29, 1997, pursuant to the provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Medcross, Inc. has caused these Articles of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to be executed by its President and attested to by its Secretary this 2nd day of September, 1997.

PREMISES. (a) Description. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, for the term and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to each and all of which Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually agree, those certain premises (the "Premises"), highlighted on Exhibit A attached hereto, which include approximately 13,984 Rentable square feet of office space as per space plan to be approved by Landlord and Tenant (the exact Rentable square footage and location on the second floor to be determined by final space plan). The location of the Premises is commonly known as: Building "D" at 13751 South Wadsworth Park Drive, Draper, UT, 84020 (the "Building"). (b) Additional Use. In addition, the Premises shall include the appurtenant right to use, in common with others, the site, parking and landscaped areas. Landlord shall provide Tenant, at no additional charge, the use of 56 non- reserved parking stalls in the adjacent parking lot. (c) Acceptance of Premises. Unless otherwise notified by Tenant within thirty (30) days of taking possession, by entry hereunder Tenant accepts the Premises as being in the condition in which Landlord is obligated to deliver the Premises. Tenant shall at the end of the term and any extension herein surrender to Landlord the Premises and all alterations, additions and improvements thereto in the same condition as when received; ordinary wear and tear, damage by fire, earthquake, or act of God excepted. Landlord has no liability and has made no representation to alter, improve, repair, or paint the Premises or any part thereof, except as specified in Article 2(c), 2(d) & 6 herein. 2. TERM, OPTION, TENANT IMPROVEMENTS. (a) Lease Term. The initial Lease Term shall be seven (7) years and shall commence November 5, 1996 ("Commencement Date"), which Commencement Date is subject to substantial completion of Tenant Improvements. If Landlord is solely responsible for not delivering possession of the Premises to Tenant within forty-five (45) days of the Commencement Date, Tenant may upon ten (10) days written notice terminate the Lease. In the event of Tenant's termination due to late delivery, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damage of any kind resulting from such late delivery or failure to deliver possession of the Premises. (b) Option. Provided that Tenant is not in default under the Lease, Tenant may by written notice to Landlord, not later than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Lease, extend the Lease by exercising a (one- time) 5-year option on a timely basis. Tenant shall possess the Premises during the Option period upon the same terms and conditions of the Lease, except that Base Rent under Article 4(a) herein will be adjusted for the Option period to the then fair market rate for similar space in similar condition in the surrounding area, whichever is less. (c) Base Building Improvements. At Landlord's sole cost and expense, Landlord shall design, construct and install the Building's roof and structural elements ("Shell"), shall provide basis utility access to and an initial HVAC unit for the Premises, and shall design and construct the common areas of the Premises and Building, as more specifically outlined in Exhibit B -Base Building Improvements (collectively "Base Building Improvements"). (d) Tenant Improvements. At execution of the Lease, Landlord shall commence the building design, construction and installation of agreed-upon Tenant Improvements requested by Tenant. Tenant is responsible for any costs of Tenant Improvements above $ 16.00 per Useable square feet. Tenant Improvements' shall include all improvements to the Premises, but exclude the Base Building Improvements. (e) Substantial Completion of Tenant Improvements. The Premises shall be deemed complete when Landlord has substantially completed Tenant improvements. "Substantial Completion" shall mean when (i) installation of Tenant Improvements has occurred, (ii) Basic utility services are available to the Premises, (iii) Landlord's Architect/Contractor shall have issued a Certificate of Substantial Completion with respect to Premises or that portion of the Building within which they are contained, whether or not Substantial Completion of the entire Building itself shall have occurred, and (iv) issuance of a temporary Certificate of Occupancy. Substantial Completion shall be deemed to have occurred notwithstanding a requirement to complete "punch-list" work, which shall be completed within a reasonable time by Landlord. Landlord shall use its best efforts to advise Tenant of Substantial Completion at least thirty (30) days prior to such date, but the failure to give such notice shall not constitute a default hereunder by Landlord. 3. NON-OCCUPANCY OF IMPROVED SPACE. In the event Tenant does not occupy the Premises and fails to pay Rents as required in Article 4 of the Lease, all costs for Tenant Improvements become due and payable upon invoicing by Landlord, subject to reasonable mitigation by Landlord for use with next tenant. Further, such invoicing by Landlord does not waive any other rights or remedies Landlord may have against Tenant for failure to occupy. 4. RENT. (a) Base Rent. Total Base Rent shall be $9.75 per Rentable square foot X 13,984( square feet X 7 years ($954,408(, subject to an annual increase as provided below), payable as follows: $11,362( per month payable in advance on or before the 1st day of each month during the duration of the Lease, with the first such monthly rental payments being due upon the execution of the Lease. This Base Rent is estimated herein since the square footage is approximated. The exact Base Rent will be determined according to the square footage stated in the final space plan. Any partial months shall be prorated accordingly. Base Rent under this Article shall be increased four (4%) percent per year during the Lease Term and during any Option period (after adjustment to fair market value at beginning of any Option period). Base Rent during the Term of the Lease shall never decrease. All Base Rent and Additional Rent (collectively "Rents") shall be paid as follows, unless 2 otherwise directed in writing: Draper Land Partnership II; Attn: Kip Wadsworth; 71 East Wadsworth Park Dr., Draper, UT 84020. (b) Additional Rent. All obligations payable by Tenant under the Lease other than Base Rent are called "Additional Rent". Additional Rent shall be paid monthly with Base Rent pursuant to the Lease, unless otherwise invoiced by Landlord. (c) Interest, Late Charges, Costs and Attorneys' Fees. If Tenant fails to pay within fifteen (15) days of the date due any Rents which Tenant is obligated to pay under the Lease, the unpaid amount shall bear interest at fifteen (15%) percent per annum. Tenant acknowledges that any late payments of Rents shall cause Landlord to lose the use of that money and incur costs and expenses not contemplated under the Lease, including without limitation administrative, collection and accounting costs, the exact amount of which is difficult to ascertain. Further, as Additional Rent, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for costs and attorneys' fees incurred as a result of late payments or non-payments. Acceptance of any interest, late charge, costs or attorneys' fees shall not constitute a waiver of any default by Tenant nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies under the Lease or at law. 5. USE. (a) The Premises shall be used for general office use, and any other lawful purpose incidental to Tenant's business, and no other, unless consented to in writing by Landlord. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done in or about the Premises or Building anything which is prohibited by or in any way in conflict with any and all laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated or which is prohibited by the standard form of fire insurance policy, or which will increase the existing rate of or affect any fire or other insurance upon the Premises or Building or any of its contents, or cause a cancellation of any insurance policy covering the Premises or Building or any part thereof or any of its contents. Tenant shall not handle, use, store or otherwise put any hazardous material on the Premises, without first notifying Landlord of its intention to do so and identifying the hazardous material and safety plan which shall ensure that any such hazardous material is properly controlled, safeguarded, and disposed of, and obtaining Landlord's prior written consent, which consent may be reasonably withheld and may be conditioned upon absolute indemnification by Tenant and accompanying bond. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises or Building which will in any way violate Rules or Regulations reasonably promulgated by Landlord throughout the Lease, obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants, or injure them, or use or allow the Premises or Building to be used for any improper, immoral, or unlawful purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit any nuisance, in, on or about the Premises or Building or commit or suffer to be committed any waste in, on or about the Premises or Building. (b) Tenant shall not use the name of the Building in which the Premises are located, in connection with any business carried on in said Premises (except as Tenant's address) without written consent of Landlord. (c) Tenant shall not manufacture, assemble or store materials inside the common areas outside of Building. 3 6. LANDLORD'S SERVICES. Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, is responsible to maintain only the roof and structural elements ("Shell") of the Premises and Building. All Operating Expenses, including but not limited to repairs, maintenance, common area utilities, common area janitorial, sewer and garbage, insurance, taxes, and property management on the Premises, Building, and common areas shall be coordinated by Landlord, but are the financial responsibility of the Tenant through prorated billings as more fully outlined in Article 7 herein. 7. OPERATING EXPENSES - REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE, INSURANCE, TAXES AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT (Excludes Electric, Gas and Office Janitorial). Since the Premises is part of a Building or group of buildings, Tenant is responsible for a prorated share of Operating Expenses, including but not limited to repairs, maintenance, common area utilities, common area janitorial (not specific tenant janitorial), water, sewer and garbage, insurance, taxes, and property management incurred in the operation and management of the Premises, Building, and common areas as shall be reasonably determined by the Landlord. For purposes of the Lease, Operating Expenses specifically exclude electric, gas, and janitorial expenses for the office space portion (excludes common areas) of Tenant's Premises which are separately billed to Tenant and which are the sole responsibility of Tenant. Proration shall be on a square footage basis with all other tenants and Tenant's proration shall be calculated by multiplying the Operating Expenses by an equation, the numerator being the Rentable square feet of the Premises and the denominator being the total Rentable square feet of the Building. The Operating Expenses shall be prorated to Tenant and be payable by Tenant as Additional Rent on a monthly basis, and subject to the following terms and conditions: (a) Prorated Share. Tenant's prorated share of the Operating Expenses shall be computed and paid in twelve (12) equal monthly estimated payments as determined in the Landlord's reasonable discretion. Such Additional Rent shall be paid by Tenant on or before the 1st day of each month with the Base Rent. As soon as is reasonably possible, but in any event within ninety (90) days following the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement showing the Premises' and Building's actual Operating Expenses for the preceding calendar year. In the case of a deficiency, Tenant shall promptly remit its prorated share of such deficiency to Landlord. In the case of a surplus, Landlord shall apply said surplus to the next Additional Rent due from Tenant. (b) Right to Review. Tenant may review at his sole cost and expense any Operating Expenses prorated to Tenant by Landlord, including assessed Real Estate Taxes as may be statutorily allowed. Landlord shall make available the applicable Operating Expenses' invoices and statements. However, any such review must be requested and completed within sixty (60) days of receipt of the annual statement. On any expenses for alterations, additions or improvements for which Tenant's pro rata share exceeds One Thousand Dollars ($1,000), Landlord shall consult with Tenant and use its best efforts to meet the reasonable needs of Tenant. 8. ALTERATIONS. (a) Tenant will not make or suffer to be made any alterations, additions or improvements in excess of $1,000, excluding the initial Tenant 4 Improvements, (collectively "Alterations") to or upon the Premises, Building, or any part thereof, or attach any fixtures or equipment thereto, without first obtaining Landlord's written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any Alterations to or upon the Premises shall be made by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense and any contractor selected by Tenant to make the same shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable prior written approval. All such Alterations permanent in character, made in or upon the Premises either by Tenant or Landlord, may at the option of Landlord, become Landlord's property and, at the end of the term or any extension hereof, shall remain on the Premises without compensation to Tenant unless Landlord requests that Tenant remove any such Alterations. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant's work stations and other items of personal property shall remain Tenant's property. (b) Any Alterations shall, when completed, be of such a character as not to lessen the value of the Premises or such improvements as may be then located thereon. Any Alterations shall be made promptly and in a good workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable permits and authorizations and building and zoning laws and with all other laws, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations and requirements of all federal, state and municipal governments, departments, commissions, boards and offices. The costs of any such Alterations shall be paid by Tenant, so that the Premises be free of liens for services performed, labor and material supplied or claimed to have been supplied. Before any Alterations shall be commenced, Tenant shall pay any increase in premiums on insurance policies (provided for herein) or ensure adequate coverage is in place for all risks related to the construction of such Alterations and the increased value of the Premises. 9. PERSONAL PROPERTY & SIGNAGE. Placement of signs on a monument, if any, including the type, size and lighting of the signs, must be approved in writing by Landlord prior to their installation. Such personal property must be removed at the end of the Lease Term, any Option period herein, if applicable, or upon Tenant's failing to have possession of the Premises. It is understood that Tenant shall have signage rights on the west and/or south sides of the building, subject to Landlord's approval prior to installation. Such signs shall conform to all applicable Draper City and Salt Lake County ordinances. 10. LIENS. Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Building free from any mechanics' and/or materialmen's liens or other liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by Tenant. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing at least seventy-two (72) hours before any work or activity is to commence on the Premises which may give rise to such liens to allow Landlord to post and keep posted on the Premises any notices which Landlord may deem to be proper for the protection of Landlord and the Premises from such liens. 11. DESTRUCTION OR DAMAGE. (a) If the Premises is partially damaged by fire, earthquake, or other Act of God, Landlord shall repair the same at Landlord's expense, subject to the provisions of this Article and provided such repairs can, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, be made within sixty (60) days. During such repairs, the Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except that if 5 there shall be damage to the Premises and such damage is not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, Tenant's employees, agents, or invitees, an abatement of Rents shall be allowed Tenant for such portion of Premises and period of time as the Premises was unusable by Tenant. (b) If in Landlord's reasonable opinion the partially damaged Premises can be repaired, but not within sixty (60) days, the Landlord may elect, upon written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days of such damages, to repair such damages over a longer time period and continue the Lease in full force and effect, but with Rents partially abated as provided in Article 11(a). In the event such repairs cannot be made within sixty (60) days, Tenant shall have the option to terminate the Lease provided that written notice is given to Landlord within thirty (30) days of receipt of Landlord's notice stated in this paragraph. (c) If the partially damaged Premises is to be repaired under this Article, Landlord shall repair such damages to the Premises itself, and to the Tenant Improvements supplied by Landlord herein. Except in the event of Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct, Tenant shall be responsible for Tenant's equipment, furniture and fixtures, and other alterations, additions and improvements made by Tenant to the Premises and Building. (d) If in Landlord's reasonable opinion, the Premises is totally or substantially destroyed by fire or other casualty, the Lease shall terminate upon notice by Landlord. 12. SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant shall each, prior to Tenant's taking possession or immediately after the execution of the Lease, procure from each of the insurers under all policies of fire, theft, public liability, workmen's compensation and other insurance now or hereafter existing during the term and any extension hereof and purchased by either of them insuring or covering the Premises and/or Building or any portion thereof or operations therein, a waiver of all rights of subrogation which the insurer might otherwise, if at all, have against the other. 13. INDEMNIFICATION. Tenant and Landlord hereby agree to indemnify and hold the other party harmless from any damage to any property, including the release of any hazardous materials, or injury to or death of any person arising from the use of the Premises, Building, or common areas by Tenant or the ownership, management or maintenance of the Premises, Building, or common areas by Landlord, except such as is caused by reason of the negligent or willful act of the other party, its agents, employees or contractors. The foregoing indemnity obligation of Tenant and Landlord shall include reasonable fees, investigation costs and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord or Tenant from the first notice that any claim or demand is made, except in the event of the other party's negligence or willful misconduct. The provisions of this Article shall survive the Lease's termination with respect to any damage, injury or death occurring prior to such termination. 6 14. COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations or requirements now in force or which may hereafter by in force, the requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted, any direction or occupancy certificate issued pursuant to any law by any public officer or officers, as well as the provisions of all recorded documents affecting the Premises, (collectively the "Applicable Laws"), insofar as any thereof relate to or affect the use or occupancy of the Premises, Building, or common areas, excluding requirements of structural changes now related to or affected by improvements made by or for Tenant. Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with all Applicable Laws, including the American with Disabilities Act ("ADA"), insofar as any thereof relate to or affect Landlord's obligations under the Lease, or its ownership of the Premises, Building, or common areas, except for Tenant's requirements in the immediately preceding paragraph herein. 15. INSURANCE. (a) Commercial General Liability. Tenant shall maintain a Commercial General Liability policy including all coverages normally provided therein. Such policies shall specifically name Landlord as an additional insured, with a cancellation period of thirty (30) days prior written notice of an cancellation. A Certificate of Insurance shall be provided to Landlord. All polices of insurance shall be issued by responsible insurance companies licensed to do business in the State of Utah. The minimum limits of coverage acceptable are: (i) $1,000,000 Each Occurrence Combined Single Limit for Bodily Injury and Property Damage and (ii) $2,000,000 Annual Aggregate. (b) Premises and Building Insurance. Landlord shall insure the Premises and Building, including Landlord supplied Core and Shell and Tenant Improvements as deemed necessary in Landlord's reasonable discretion. Tenant shall pay its prorata share for such insurance as outlined in Article 7 herein, involving Tenant's prorated share of Operating Expenses. All policies of insurance shall be issued by responsible insurance companies licensed to do business in the State of Utah. (c) Tenant's Additional Insurance. Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense, cause all equipment, machinery, furniture and fixtures, personal property, and Tenant Improvements supplied by Tenant from time to time used or intended to be used in connection with the operation and maintenance of the Premises, to be insured by Tenant against loss or damage. Except for losses caused by Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct, Landlord is in no way liable for any uninsured Tenant's property. 16. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. In the event Tenant should desire to assign the Lease or sublet the Premises, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such desire at least ninety (90) days in advance of the date on which Tenant desires to make such 7 assignment or sublease. Landlord shall then have a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice within which to notify Tenant in writing that Landlord elects either (i) to terminate the Lease as of the date so specified by Tenant, in which event Tenant will be relieved of all further obligations hereunder, or (ii) to permit Tenant to assign or sublet such space, subject to prior written approval of the proposed assignee by Landlord, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, so long as the use of the Premises by the proposed assignee would be a permitted use and the proposed assignee is of sound financial condition as determined in Landlord's reasonable discretion. If Landlord should fail to notify Tenant in writing of such election within said thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall have deemed to have waived option (i) above, but written approval by Landlord of the proposed assignee shall still be required. Failure by Landlord to approve a proposed assignee shall not cause a termination of the Lease. Any rents or other consideration realized by Tenant under any such sublease and assignment in excess of the Rents hereunder, after amortization of the reasonable costs of extra tenant improvements for which Tenant has paid and reasonable subletting and assignment costs, shall be divided and paid fifty (50%) percent to Landlord and fifty (50%) percent to Tenant. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant shall have the right to sublease or assign all or any portion of the Premises during the Term or any Option period to any related entity, subsidiary, or affiliate of Tenant, having at least fifty-one (51%) percent direct common ownership, without having to receive Landlord's consent, but still requiring written notice to Landlord on or before such sublease or assignment. No assignment or subletting by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of any obligation under the Lease. Any assignment or subletting which conflicts with the provisions hereof shall be void. 17. RULES. Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with all Rules and Regulations reasonably promulgated by Landlord, in writing and after reasonable notice, during the Term or any Option period herein. Landlord must apply rules equitably against all Tenants, but shall not be responsible to Tenant for the non-performance by other Building tenants, or adjacent buildings' tenants, of any of said Rules and Regulations. 18. ENTRY BY LANDLORD. The Landlord may enter the Premises or Building at reasonable hours and upon reasonable written notice to Tenant to (a) inspect the same, (b) show the same to prospective purchasers, lenders or tenants, (c) determine whether Tenant is complying with all of Tenant's obligations hereunder, (d) post notices of non-responsibility or (e) make repairs required of Landlord under the Lease, repairs to adjoining space or utility service, or make repairs, alterations or improvements to the Building, provided that all such work shall be done as promptly as possible and with as little interference to Tenant as reasonably possible. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages for any inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises occasioned by such entry. Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key to unlock all doors in, on or about the Premises (excluding Tenant's vaults, safes and similar areas designated in writing by Tenant). In the event of an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to enter the Premises, without notice, for the limited purpose of abating as possible said emergency. Such emergency entrance shall not be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into or a detainer of the Premises 8 or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises, or any portion thereof. 19. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events ("Events of Default") shall constitute a breach of the Lease by Tenant: (a) if Tenant fails to pay Rents when and as the same becomes due and payable and such failure continues for more than fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof, or (b) if Tenant fails to pay any other sum when and as the same becomes due and payable and such failure continues for more than fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof; or (c) if Tenant fails to perform or observe any material term or condition of the Lease, such failure continues for more than thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord, and Tenant does not within such period begin with due diligence and dispatch the curing of such default, or, having so began, thereafter fails or neglects to complete with due diligence and dispatch the curing of such default; or (d) if Tenant shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due or shall file a petition in bankruptcy, or shall be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or shall file a petition seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, or shall file any answer admitting or shall fail timely to contest the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any such proceeding, or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or any material part of its properties; or (e) if within sixty (60) days after the commencement of any proceeding against Tenant seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, such proceeding shall not have been dismissed, or if, within sixty (60) days after the appointment without the consent or acquiescence of Tenant, of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or of any material part of its properties, such appointment shall not have been vacated; or (f) vacation or abandonment of the Premises for a continuous period in excess of fifteen (15) days after initial occupancy, or (g) if the Lease or any estate of Tenant hereunder shall be levied upon under any attachment or execution and such attachment or execution is not vacated within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof by Tenant. 20. TERMINATION UPON TENANT'S DEFAULT. If an Event of Default shall occur, Landlord at any time thereafter may give a written termination notice to Tenant, and on the date specified in such notice (which shall not be less than three (3) days after service) Tenant's right to possession shall terminate and the Lease shall terminate, unless on or before such date all Rents, arrearages and other sums due by Tenant under the Lease, including reasonable costs and attorneys' fees incurred by or on behalf of Landlord, shall have been paid by Tenant and all other Events of Default by Tenant shall have been fully cured to the satisfaction of Landlord. Upon such termination, Landlord may recover from Tenant: (a) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rents which had been earned at the time of termination; plus 9 (b) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rents which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rents loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (c) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rents for the balance of the term of the Lease after the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rents loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and plus (d) any other amount reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under the Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom; and/or (e) At Landlord's elections, such other amounts in addition or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time herein or by applicable law. The "worth at the time of award" of the amounts referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above is computed by allowing interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The "worth at the time of award" of the amount referred to in clause (c) above means the monthly sum of the Rents under the Lease. Failure of Landlord to declare any default immediately upon occurrence thereof, or delay in taking any action in connection therewith, shall not waive such default, but Landlord shall have the right to declare any such default at any time thereafter. 21. CONTINUATION AFTER DEFAULT. Even though Tenant has defaulted the Lease and abandoned the Premises, the Lease shall continue in effect as long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant's right to possession, and Landlord may enforce all of its rights and remedies under the Lease, including the right to recover the Rents as they become due under the Lease. Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of Landlord to protect Landlord's interest under the Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's right to possession. If any fixture, equipment, improvement, installation or appurtenance shall be required to be removed from the Premises and/or Building by Tenant, then Landlord (in addition to all other rights and remedies) may, at its election by written notice to Tenant, deem that the same has been abandoned by Tenant to Landlord, or Landlord may remove and store the same and restore the Premises to its original condition at the reasonable expense of Tenant, as Additional Rent to be paid within fifteen (15) days after written notice to Tenant of such expense. 22. LANDLORD'S DEFAULT. If Landlord fails to perform or observe any of its material Lease obligations herein and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice from Tenant, or such additional time, if any, that is reasonably necessary to promptly and diligently cure such failure after receiving written notice, Landlord shall be in breach of the Lease (a "Default"). If Landlord commits a Default, Tenant may pursue any remedies given in the Lease or under law. 10 23. LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. All terms and provisions to be performed by Tenant under the Lease shall be at Tenant's sole cost and expense and without any abatement of Rents. If Tenant fails to pay any sum of money, other than Rents, required hereunder or fails to perform any other act required hereunder and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after notice by Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated, and without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant, make any such payment or perform any such act on Tenant's part to be made or performed as provided in the Lease. All sums paid by Landlord and all incidental costs shall be deemed Additional Rent hereunder and shall be payable within ten (10) days of written notice of such sums paid. 24. OTHER RELIEF. The remedies provided for in the Lease are in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity by statute or otherwise. 25. ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event either party places the enforcement of the Lease, or any part thereof, or the collection of any Rents, or recovery of the possession of the Premises, or files suit upon the same, then the prevailing party shall recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. 26. EMINENT DOMAIN. If all or any part of the Premises shall be taken or conveyed as a result of the exercise of the power of eminent domain, the Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date of taking, and, in the case of a partial taking, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease as to the balance of the Premises by written notice to the other within thirty (30) days after such date; provided, however, that a condition to the exercise by Tenant of such right to terminate shall be that the portion of the Premises taken or conveyed shall be of such extent and nature as substantially to handicap, impede or impair Tenant's use of the balance of the Premises. In the event of any taking, Landlord shall be entitled to any and all compensation, damages, income, rent awards or any interest therein whatsoever which may be paid or made in connection therewith, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired term of the Lease or otherwise, provided that Tenant shall be entitled to any and all compensation, damages, income, rent or awards paid for or on account of Tenant's moving expenses, trade fixtures, equipment and any leasehold improvements in the Premises, the cost of which was borne by Tenant, to the extent of the then unamortized value of such improvements for the remaining term of the Lease. In the event of a taking of the Premises which does not result in a termination of the Lease, the monthly rental herein shall be apportioned as of the date of such taking so that thereafter the rent to be paid by Tenant shall be in the ratio that the area of the Premises not so taken bears to the total area of the Premises prior to such taking. 27. SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT & NONDISTURBANCE; AND ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. At Landlord's request, Tenant agrees to execute, acknowledge, and deliver within ten (10) days to Landlord a Subordination, Attornment & 11 Nondisturbance Agreement ("Subordination Agreement"), subject to Landlord's reasonably proposed form(s). Such Subordination Agreement shall subordinate the Lease to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation for security now or hereafter placed upon the Premises, Building or common areas, or any part thereof, to any and all advances made on the security, and to all renewals, modification, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof, whether the Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust or other hypothecation or the date of recording thereof. Further, at Landlord's request, Tenant agrees to execute, acknowledge, and deliver within ten (10) days to Landlord an Estoppel Certificate, subject to Landlord's reasonably proposed form(s). Such Subordination Agreement and Estoppel Certificate may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser, mortgagee, or beneficiary under any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation of the Premises, Building, or common areas, or any part thereof. Notwithstanding such Subordination Agreement, Tenant's right to quiet possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed so long as Tenant is not in default under the Lease, unless the Lease is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms. In the event that Tenant fails to execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord such Subordination Agreement and Estoppel Certificate within ten (10) days of Landlord's request, the parties herein expressly agree that Tenant shall be deemed in default of the Lease without further notice. In such event, the parties herein further expressly agree that the Subordination Agreement and Estoppel Certificate are deemed to have been executed by Tenant. 28. NO MERGER. The voluntary or other surrender of the Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, and shall, at the option of Landlord terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies, or may, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to it of any or all such subleases or subtenancies. 29. SALE. In the event the original Landlord hereunder, or any successor owner of the Premises, Building, and common areas shall sell or convey the Premises, Building, and common areas, and the purchaser assumes the obligations of Landlord under the Lease, all liabilities and obligation on the part of the original Landlord, or such successor owner, under the Lease accruing after such Sale shall terminate, and thereupon all such liabilities and obligations shall be binding upon the new owner. Tenant agrees to attorn to such new owner. 30. NO LIGHT OR VIEW EASEMENT. Any diminution or shutting off of light or view by any structure erected on lands adjacent to the Building shall in no way affect the Lease or impose any liability on Landlord. 31. HOLDING OVER. If, without objection by Landlord, Tenant holds possession of the Premises after expiration of the Term or any Option period of the Lease, Tenant shall become a tenant from month to month upon the terms herein 12 specified, but at a monthly Base Rent equivalent to 125% of the Base Rent at the end of the term or extension period pursuant to Article 4, payable in advance on or before the 1st day of each month. All Additional Rent shall also apply. Each party shall give the other notice at least one month prior to the date of termination of such monthly tenancy of its intention to terminate such tenancy. 32. ABANDONMENT. If Tenant shall abandon or surrender the Premises, or be dispossessed by process of law or otherwise, any personal property belonging to Tenant and left on the Premises shall be deemed to be abandoned, at the option of Landlord, except such property as may be mortgaged to Landlord. 33. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Tenant shall deposit with Landlord upon execution of the Lease as a security deposit in the form of a Certificate of Deposit in an amount and under the terms and conditions more specifically set out in Exhibit C the Agreement Regarding Certificate of Deposit ("Security Deposit"). The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the provisions of the Lease to be performed or observed by Tenant. In the event Tenant fails to perform or observe any of the provisions of the Lease to be performed or observed by it, then, at the option of the Landlord, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to do so) apply the Security Deposit, or so much thereof as may be necessary to remedy such default or to repair damages to the Premises caused by Tenant. In the event Landlord applies any portion of the Security Deposit to remedy any such default or to repair damages to the Premises caused by Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after written demand for such payment by Landlord, all monies necessary to restore the Security Deposit up to the original amount. Any portions of the Security Deposit remaining upon termination of the Lease shall be returned. 34. WAIVER. All waivers by either party herein must be in writing and signed by such party. The waiver of any term or conditions herein shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other agreement, condition or provision herein contained, nor shall any custom or practice which may grow upon between the parties in the administration of the terms hereof be construed to waive or to lessen the right of either party to insist upon the performance by the other party in strict accordance with said terms. The subsequent acceptance of Rents hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any breach by Tenant of any term or condition of the Lease, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such breach at the time of acceptance of such Rents. 35. NOTICES. All notices and demands which may or are required to be given by either party to the other under the Lease shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been fully given when deposited in the United States mail, certified or registered, postage prepaid, and addressed as follows: to Tenant at 65 East Wadsworth Park Drive, Suite 200, Draper, UT 84020, Attn: Clay Wilkes, or to such other place as Tenant may from time to time designate in a notice to Landlord; to Landlord at Draper Land Partnership II; Attn: Kip Wadsworth; 13 71 East Wadsworth Park Dr., Draper, UT 84020 or to such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in a notice to Tenant, or in the case of Tenant, delivered to Tenant at the Premises.

COMPLETE AGREEMENT. There are no oral agreements between Landlord and Tenant affecting the Lease, and the Lease supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements and understandings, if any, between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the subject matter of the Lease. The Lease may not be altered, changed or amended, except by an instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto. 37. CORPORATE AUTHORITY.

If there be more than one Tenant, the obligations hereunder imposed upon Tenant shall be joint and several. (b) Time is of the essence on the Lease and each and all of its terms and conditions.

If any term provision of the Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Lease, or the application of such provision to persons or 14 circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of the Lease shall be valid and shall be enforceable to the extent permitted by law. 41. BROKERS. Landlord is represented by Prime Commercial, Inc.; Tenant is represented by Coldwell Banker West Realty. Agreed-upon commissions shall be due and payable by Landlord upon execution. 42.

In view of the fact that Tenant is a newly formed business enterprise with no performance history, Landlord and Landlord's lender ("Lender") desire a substantial Security Deposit with provision for future reduction in amount consistent with the terms and conditions hereof. II. AGREEMENT. 1. Tenant will obtain and deliver to Landlord as the Security Deposit required under the Lease four separate Certificates of Deposit each in the same amount and totaling in the aggregate Two Hundred Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($215,000.00) (the "CDs"), which Landlord shall be entitled to redeem for cash pursuant to the terms of the Lease and this Agreement. 2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary Tenant shall be entitled to all interest earned on the CDs. 3. The CDs are held by Landlord as the Security Deposit securing the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the provisions of the Lease to be performed or observed by Tenant, including, without limitation, the payment of any and all payments owing of any kind by Tenant under the Lease. In the event Tenant fails to perform or observe any of the provisions of the Lease to be performed or observed by it, then, at the option of the Landlord, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to do so) apply the Security Deposit, or so much thereof as may be necessary to remedy such default or to repair damages to the Premises caused by Tenant. In the event Landlord applies any portion of the Security Deposit to remedy any such default or to repair damages to the Premises caused by Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after written demand for such payment by Landlord, all monies necessary to restore the Security Deposit up to the original amount. Any portions of the Security Deposit remaining upon termination of the Lease shall be returned. 4. After the second anniversary of this Agreement, and provided that Tenant is in good standing and not in default under the terms and conditions of the Lease, and provided further that Tenant has achieved a level of performance that satisfies Lender, the CDs may be returned to the Tenant at the rate of one per year over the next four years, provided further that at the beginning of the sixth year Tenant then deposits with Landlord the final month's base rent ($11,362 plus the applicable 4% annual increases calculated 18 in accordance with paragraph 4 of the Lease) to be held by Landlord as the Security Deposit for the remainder of the Lease Term. 5. Landlord may without the further permission of Tenant deliver the CDs over to Lender who shall hold the same for the benefit of Landlord hereunder such that Landlord's security interest therein shall be deemed perfected by possession under (S)70A-9-304 of the Utah Code Annotated (1953), as amended, provided only that Lender shall hold the CDs under the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 6. Should Landlord or Lender request that Tenant execute a UCC-1 form for filing consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or any other document necessary to carry out the intent of the parties hereunder, Tenant agrees to execute the same. 7. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations and statements, oral or written, are merged herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lease shall remain in full force and effect except to the extent it is inconsistent with this Agreement, which shall govern in the event of a conflict between the two instruments. 8. No modification, waiver, amendment, discharge or change of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by the party against which the enforcement or such modification, waiver, amendment, discharge or change is or may be sought. 9. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be deemed fully executed originals. 10. In the event either party commences litigation for the judicial interpretation, enforcement, termination, cancellation or rescission hereof, or for damages for the breach hereof, then, in addition to any or all other relief awarded in such litigation, the prevailing party therein shall be entitled to a judgment against the other for an amount equal to reasonable attorneys' fees and court and other costs incurred. 11. Tenant or Landlord shall not, by virtue of this Agreement, in any way or for any reason be deemed to have become a partner of the other in the conduct of business or otherwise, or a joint venturer. 12. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah. 13. In the event any term, covenant, condition, provision or agreement herein contained is held to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the fact that such term, covenant, condition, provision or agreement is invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other term, covenant, condition, provision or agreement herein contained. 14. All terms of the Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns. 19 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as of the date and year first written above.

Confidential Information. The parties hereto recognize that it is ------------------------ fundamental to the business and operation of the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof to preserve the specialized knowledge, trade secrets, and confidential information of the foregoing concerning the Internet services industry. The strength and good will of the Company is derived from the specialized knowledge, trade secrets, and confidential information generated from experience through the activities undertaken by the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof. The disclosure of any of such information and the knowledge thereof on the part of competitors would be beneficial to such competitors and detrimental to the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof, as would the disclosure of information about the marketing practices, pricing practices, costs, profit margins, design specifications, analytical techniques, concepts, ideas, process developments (whether or not patentable), customer and client agreements, vendor and supplier agreements and similar items or technology. By reason of his being an employee of the Company, in the course of his employment, the Employee has or shall have access to, and has obtained or shall obtain, specialized knowledge, trade secrets and confidential information such as that described herein about the business and operation of the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof. Therefore, the Employee hereby agrees as follows, recognizing and acknowledging that the Company is relying on the following in entering into this Agreement: (a) The Employee hereby sells, transfers and assigns to the Company, or to any person or entity designated by the Company, any and all right, title and interest of the Employee in and to all inventions, ideas, disclosures and improvements, whether patented or unpatented, and copyrightable material, made or conceived by the Employee solely or jointly, in whole or in part, during the term hereof which: (I) relate to methods, apparatus, designs, products, processes or devices distributed, sold, leased, used or under construction or development by the Company or any affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof; or (ii) otherwise relate to or pertain to. the business, operations or affairs of the Company or any affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof. The Company shall acquire all right, title and interest to the Employee's inventions, ideas, disclosures and improvements whether made or conceived during the term hereof or before. The Employee shall make adequate written records of all inventions (which records shall be the Company's property) and shall communicate promptly and disclose to the Company, in such form as the Company requests, all information, details 4 and data pertaining to such inventions, ideas, disclosures and improvements. Whether during the period of employment or thereafter, the Employee shall execute and deliver to the Company such formal transfers and assignments and such other papers and documents as may be required of the Employee to permit the Company or any person or entity designated by the Company to file, enforce and prosecute the patent applications relating to any of the foregoing, and, as to copyrightable material, to obtain copyright thereon; and (b) Notwithstanding any earlier termination, during the period of employment and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, the Employee shall keep secret and retain in strict confidence, and shall not, except in furtherance of the Company's business, use, disclose to others, or publish any information, other than information which is in the public domain or becomes publicly available through no wrongful act on the part of the Employee, which information shall be deemed not to be confidential information, relating to the business, operation or other affairs of the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof, including but not limited to confidential information concerning the marketing practices, pricing practices, costs, profit margins, products, methods, guidelines, procedures, engineering designs and standards, design specifications, analytical techniques, technical information, customer, client, vendor or supplier information, employee information, and any and all other confidential information acquired by him in the course of his past or future services for the Company or any affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof. The Employee shall hold as the Company's property all notes, memoranda, books, records, papers, letters, formulas and other data and all copies thereof and therefrom in any way relating to the business, operation or other affairs of the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof, whether made by him or otherwise coming into his possession. Upon termination of his employment or upon the demand of the Company, at any time, the Employee shall deliver the same to the Company within twenty-four (24) hours of such termination or demand. 10. Reformation. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction ----------- determines that the non-compete or the confidentiality provisions hereof are unreasonably broad or otherwise unenforceable because of the length of their respective terms or the breadth of their territorial scope, or for any other reason, the parties hereto agree that such court may reform the terms and/or scope of such covenants so that the same are reasonable and, as reformed, shall be enforceable. 12. Remedies. Subject to Section 18 below, in the event of a breach of any -------- of the provisions of this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall provide written notice of such breach to the breaching party. The breaching party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice in which to cure its breach. If, on the thirty-first (31st) day after receipt of such notice, the breaching party shall have failed to cure such breach, the non-breaching party thereafter shall be entitled to seek damages. It is acknowledged that this Agreement is of a unique nature and of extraordinary value and of such a character that a breach hereof by the Employee shall result in irreparable damage and injury to the Company for which the Company may not have any adequate remedy at law. Therefore, if, on the thirty-first (31st) day after receipt of such notice, the breaching party shall have failed to cure such breach, the non-breaching party shall also be entitled to seek a decree of specific performance against the 5 breaching party, or such other relief by way of restraining order, injunction or otherwise as may be appropriate to ensure compliance with this Agreement. The remedies provided by this Section 13 are non-exclusive and the pursuit of such remedies shall not in any way limit any other remedy available to the parties with respect to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any remedy available at law or equity with respect to any anticipatory or threatened breach of the provisions hereof. 13. Certain Provisions, Specific Performance. In the event of a breach by ---------------------------------------- the Employee of the non-competition or confidentiality provisions hereof, such breach shall not be subject to the cure provision of Section 12 above and the Company shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief and a decree of specific performance against the Employee, such remedy is non-exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedy to which the Company or any affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof may be entitled. Monetary breaches by the Company shall not be subject to the notice and cure provisions hereunder. 14. Consolidation; Merger; Sale of Assets. Nothing in this Agreement shall ------------------------------------- preclude the Company from combining, consolidating or merging with or into, transferring an or substantially all of its assets to, or entering into a partnership or joint venture with, another corporation or other entity, or effecting any other kind of corporate combination, provided that, the corporation resulting from or surviving such combination, consolidation or merger, or to which such assets are transferred, or such partnership or joint venture assumes this Agreement and all obligations and undertakings of the Company hereunder. Upon such a consolidation, merger, transfer of assets or formation of such partnership or joint venture, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, be assumed by, and be binding upon such resulting or surviving transferee corporation or such partnership or joint venture, and the term "Company," as used in this Agreement, shall mean such corporation, partnership or joint venture, or other entity and subject to the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Change of Control this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall entitle the Employee and his heirs, beneficiaries and representatives to exactly the same compensation, benefits, perquisites, payments and other rights as would have been their entitlement had such combination, consolidation, merger, transfer of assets or formation of such partnership or joint venture not occurred. 15. Survival. Sections 8 through 14 shall survive the termination for any -------- reason of this Agreement (whether such termination is by the Company, by the Employee, upon the expiration of this Agreement by its terms or otherwise); provided, however, that in the event that the Company ceases to exist and neither an affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof has assumed, at its option, the obligations of the Company hereunder, the Employee shall no longer be bound by the non-competition provision set forth in Section 8 hereof. 16. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be considered ------------ severable in the event that any of such provisions are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable. Such invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable provisions shall be automatically replaced by other provisions which are valid and enforceable and which are as similar as Possible in term and intent to those provisions deemed to be invalid, void or 6 otherwise unenforceable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the remaining provisions hereof shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 17. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement contains the entire --------------------------- agreement between the Company and the Employee with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement may not be amended, changed, modified or discharged, nor may any provision hereof be waived, except by an instrument in writing executed by or on behalf of the party against whom enforcement of any amendment, waiver, change, codification or discharge is sought. No course of conduct or dealing shall be construed to modify, amend or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof. 18. Notices.

Restrictive Covenant. (a) Restriction on Competition During Employment Term. So long as Employee is employed by the Company, Employee shall not, without the prior written authorization of the Company, directly or indirectly render services of a business, professional or commercial nature (whether for compensation or otherwise) to any person or entity engaged in any business which competes either directly or indirectly with the Company (a "Competitive Business") during the Employment Term, or engage in any activity whether alone, as a partner, or as an officer, director, employee, consultant independent contractor, or stockholder in any Competitive Business.

The term "solicit" shall not be deemed to include general solicitations not specifically directed toward customers of the Company.

(c) Acknowledgment. The parties acknowledge that the time, scope, geographic area, and other provisions of this Agreement have been specifically negotiated by the parties and agree that all such provisions are reasonable under the circumstances and are given as an integral and essential part of Employee's employment hereunder. In the event that any covenant contained in this Agreement shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, it shall be interpreted to extend only over a maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable and/or over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable and/or to the maximum intent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action. 7 9. Severability.

Judgment may be entered on the arbitrators' award in any court having jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee hereby acknowledges that the Company would suffer irreparable injury if the provisions of Sections 6 through 8 above, which shall survive the termination of the Agreement, were breached and that the Company's remedies at law would be inadequate in the event of such breach. Accordingly, Employee hereby agrees that any such breach or threatened breach may, in addition to any and all other available remedies, be preliminarily enjoined by the Company. 11. Legal Fees and Expenses. In the event of litigation under this Agreement, each of the Company and Employee shall pay its own attorneys' fees and expenses. 12. Non-Assignability.

Edwards ----------------------------------------- John W. Edwards, President /s/ Dror Nahumi --------------------------------------------- DROR NAHUMI 10 EX-10.NN 8 EHIBIT 10NN Exhibit 10(nn) Plan and Agreement of Merger of MiBridge, Inc. with and into I-Link Mergerco, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Medcross, Inc. (to be renamed I-Link Incorporated) This Plan and Agreement of Merger ("Agreement") is effective as of August 12, 1997, by and among MEDCROSS, INC. (to be renamed I-LINK INCORPORATED), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Florida (hereafter "Medcross/I-Link"), and its wholly-owned subsidiary I-LINK MERGERCO, INC., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Utah (hereafter "Mergerco"), both with their principal place of business at 13751 South Wadsworth Park Drive, Suite 200, Draper, Utah 84020, MIBRIDGE, INC., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New Jersey with its principal place of business at 1 Main Street, Suite 510 Eatontown, New Jersey 07724 (hereafter "MiBridge"), DROR NAHUMI ("Nahumi"), and BEN CHAN, ERAN CHESNER, and YARON CUDKEVICH (together with Nahumi the "MIBridge Shareholders"). W I T N E S S E T H: WHEREAS, Medcross/I-Link is a publicly-held corporation in the telecommunications services business, and Mergerco is its wholly-owned subsidiary; and WHEREAS, MiBridge is a privately-held corporation in the business of developing and licensing audio-conferencing, speech encoding and compression technology for the telecommunications industry, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of which is owned by the MiBridge Shareholders; and WHEREAS, the parties intend by this Agreement to provide for the merger of MiBridge with and into Mergerco pursuant to an exchange with the MiBridge Shareholders of all of MiBridge's outstanding shares for preferred shares of Medcross/I-Link that are convertible into common shares of Medcross/I-Link, together the payment by Medcross/I-Link to the MiBridge Shareholders of certain cash evidenced by the promissory note described herein. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and obligations set forth herein, it is agreed as follows: 1. The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the parties agree to effect upon the Closing (as defined in Section 6 below) the merger of MiBridge with and into Mergerco, pursuant to the statutory merger laws of the States of Utah and New Jersey, with Mergerco to be the surviving entity and to be immediately renamed "MiBridge, Inc." (the "Merger"). In order to effect the Merger, the MiBridge Shareholders agree to surrender all of their shares in MiBridge, constituting all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of MiBridge (the "MiBridge Shares"), to Medcross/I-Link and Mergerco in exchange for the shares and other consideration described in Section 2 below. 2. Consideration. As consideration for the surrender of the MiBridge Shares and the Merger, Medcross/I-Link shall deliver to the MiBridge Shareholders at Closing the following: (a) At the Closing, and at such time as all of the contingencies set forth in this Section 2(a) are met, Medcross/I-Link shall issue and deliver to the MiBridge Shareholders an aggregate of One Thousand (1,000) Medcross Series D Preferred shares (the "Preferred Shares"), divided between the MiBridge Shareholders according to the schedule set forth on Exhibit 2(a) attached hereto and made a part hereof. The Preferred Shares shall be convertible in whole or in part at the option of each of the MiBridge Shareholders at any time during the nine months following the Closing of the Acquisition ("Closing") into such aggregate number of Medcross/I-Link common shares (the "Conversion Shares") as shall equal the sum of the percent of the Preferred Shares being converted multiplied by $6,250,000 divided by $9.25 (the "Conversion Price"). Unless earlier converted by the MiBridge Shareholders, the Preferred Shares shall automatically convert nine (9) months following the Closing (the "Automatic Conversion Date"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Preferred Shares shall be converted at the lower of (a) the Conversion Price, or (b) the average closing bid price of Medcross/I-Link Common Stock for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date Medcross/I-Link shall receive notice of conversion from each of the MiBridge Shareholders, or the Automatic Conversion Date, whichever the case may be. The Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive dividends if and when dividends are declared on Medcross/I-Link's outstanding common shares, and in an amount proportionate to the underlying Conversion Shares. The Conversion Shares shall carry piggyback registration rights (more fully described in Section 3 below) permitting the holder(s) to include the Conversion Shares in any registration of securities with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that Medcross/I-Link shall undertake after the first anniversary of the Closing (excluding S-8 registration of employee stock options). Conversion into common shares is subject to Medcross/I-Link's shareholders approving the increase of the authorized capital stock of Medcross/I-Link from 20,000,000 common shares to 50,000,000 common shares at Medcross/I-Link's next shareholders' meeting. In the event such contingency is not fulfilled by the Automatic Conversion Date, the MiBridge Shareholders' right to convert and the Automatic Conversion Date shall be extended to that date which is ten (10) days following the fulfillment of such contingency. (b) At the Closing, Medcross/I-Link shall deliver to the MiBridge Shareholders promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), payable in equal quarterly installments over the two-year period following Closing (with the first installment due at Closing), in the form of those attached hereto as Exhibit 2(b) and made 2 a part hereof (the "Notes"). The Notes shall bear simple interest, payable quarterly, at the minimum applicable federal interest rate, which interest shall be convertible, at the option of Medcross/I-Link, into shares of its common stock at the rate of $9.25 per common share, or the average closing bid price for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of such conversion, whichever is lower. Until such time as the Notes are paid in full, the MiBridge Shareholders shall each be granted a security interest in all of the issued and outstanding shares of Mergerco, proportionate to each such shareholder's ownership interest in MiBridge. Medcross/I-Link shall execute and deliver to the MiBridge Shareholders at Closing all instruments and documentation necessary to create and perfect such security interests. (c) Until the Medcross/I-Link Articles of Incorporation have been duly amended providing for creation of the Conversion Shares, and until one/half the aggregate principal amount of the Notes has been paid, and except as may be first approved in writing by Nahumi, or as otherwise permitted or contemplated by this Agreement, (i) the business of Mergerco shall be conducted only in the course that is historically usual and ordinary to MiBridge without the creation of indebtedness for money borrowed, except in the ordinary course of business, (ii) no change shall be made in the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of Mergerco, (iii) no shares of stock of Mergerco shall be authorized for issuance or issued or delivered from treasury and no agreement for such issuance or delivery thereof shall be entered into, (iv) no dividend or other distribution in respect of and no redemption of any shares of stock of any class of Mergerco shall be made by Mergerco, (v) no contract or commitment shall be entered into by or on behalf of Mergerco except in the ordinary course of what was MiBridge's historic business, (vi) Mergerco will continue in effect the insurance coverage currently existing on MiBridge and its properties, assets, business and personnel, and (ix) Medcross/I-Link shall not cause Mergerco to subject any of its property or assets to any material lien, claim, charge, option or encumbrance nor will it do or omit to do any act which will cause a material breach in any contract, agreement, lease, commitment or obligation to which it is a party or by which it is bound. In the event the Medcross/I-Link Articles of Incorporation have not been duly amended providing for creation of the Conversion Shares by March 31, 1998, the MiBridge Shareholders, acting in unison, shall have the option of terminating this Agreement and receiving all of the Mergerco Shares, surrendering all Medcross/I-Link shares acquired under this Agreement, and retaining all sums paid to them under the Notes prior to such termination as liquidated damages. (d) Until the Medcross/I-Link Articles of Incorporation have been duly amended providing for creation of the Conversion Shares, and until the Notes have been paid in full, the MiBridge Shareholders shall each have, and Medcross/I-Link hereby grants to the MiBridge Shareholders, a security interest in such portion of the Mergerco shares as represents his ownership interest in MiBridge prior to the Closing. In order to perfect such security interests, the parties agree that so long as such security interests shall remain in force, certificate(s) representing the Mergerco shares shall be held by the law firm of Luse Lehman Gorman Pomerenk & Schick of Washington, D.C. Medcross/I-Link shall execute such instruments and documents as may reasonably be necessary to create, perfect and maintain such security interests. 3 (e) At the Closing Medcross/I-Link shall enter into an employment contract with Nahumi in the form of Exhibit 2(e) attached hereto and made a part hereof. At the Closing all currently existing employment agreements between any of the MiBridge Shareholders and MiBridge shall be deemed assumed by Mergerco, and deemed amended to delete any reference to the employee's right to receive any ownership/equity interest in MiBridge, and the MiBridge Shareholders shall be deemed to have fully released MiBridge, Mergerco and Medcross/I-Link from any obligation with respect to such right to receive an ownership/equity interest in MiBridge or its successor. Neither the existence of any separate agreement(s) between Nahumi and any of the individual MiBridge Shareholders, nor the performance or non- performance of any party to any such agreement(s), shall have any effect on this Agreement or the parties rights, duties and obligations hereunder. 3. Registration Rights. Neither the Preferred Shares nor the Conversion Shares have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"); accordingly, the certificates representing the Preferred Shares and the Conversion Shares shall bear the following legend: The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act"), and may not be offered or sold except pursuant to (i) an effective registration statement under the Act, (ii) to the extent applicable, Rule 144 under the Act (or any similar rule under such Act relating to the disposition of securities), or (iii) an opinion of counsel, if such opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the issuer, that an exemption from registration under such Act is available. If, at any time following the one-year anniversary of the Closing, Medcross/I- Link proposes to register any of its securities under the Act (other than in connection with a merger, pursuant to Form S-8, or pursuant to the SB-2 registration statement filed with the SEC on December 16, 1996) it will give written notice by registered mail, at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of each such registration statement, to each of the MiBridge Shareholders of its intention to do so. If any of the MiBridge Shareholders representing in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Conversion Shares notify Medcross/I-Link within twenty (20) days after receipt of any such notice of their desire to include any of the Conversion Shares in such proposed registration statement, Medcross/I- Link shall afford all of the MiBridge Shareholders the opportunity to have any of the Conversion Shares registered under such registration statement at the expense of Medcross/I-Link, subject to customary underwriter's cutbacks and lock-ups. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Medcross/I-Link shall have the right at any time after it shall have given written notice pursuant to this Section 3 (irrespective of whether a written request for inclusion of any of the Conversions Shares shall have been made) to elect not to file any such proposed registration statement, or to withdraw the same after the filing but prior to the effective date thereof. 4 4.
