Note 1: Description of Company

We offerThe Company is a Healthcare Services Organization (HSO), which provides business process solutions to the healthcare industry including support services and leading-edge technology. The Company coordinates the care of patients on behalf of the payers that have contracted with the company through the utilization of its network of independent physicians, other healthcare providers and its own technology systems. The Company’s primary stream of revenue flows from the monthly premiums received for assuming full risk management of these patients. The Company currently has contracts with payers for two types of insurance products, Medicare and Medicaid; and the Company is expanding services to include commercial and universal insurance products.

The Company’s model interacts with each of the three key hubs of the healthcare industry – the providers (primary care physicians/specialists/ancillary facilities), hospitals and payers. To accomplish the connectivity required for these communications, the Company has developed software technology to better manage its core business. The Company has a HIPAAcompliant enterprise platform that includes multiple applications used by provider offices or hospitals. The platform, known as PWeR™ (Personal Wellnesselectronic Record™) is a low cost, multi-application, patient-centric platform capable of receiving patient information from multiple sources. PWeR is a simple to health maintenance organizations (HMOs) that market Medicare Advantage manageduse software system written as Web-based, open architecture and is a software as a service (SaaS) platform. The scalability of PWeR allows for centralized patient data to be accumulated at local, state, national and global levels. Additional ly, the Company has developed 18 provisional patents which provide business process design and medical trending analysis for the purpose of reducing medical costs and increasing individual wellness. PWeR is currently being marketed to the Company’s network of healthcare plans in the state of Florida,providers as well as healthcare providers outside the network, hospitals and other payers (i.e., state governments).

The Company also provides other services and products to healthcare providers in and outside of its network. These services include purchasing, technology and insurance products. These services are designed to reduce administrative time and expense from the state. We refer to this segment of our business asprovider systems. Medicare Advantage is Medicare’s managed care alternative to Medicare’s traditional fee-for-service model. The foundation of our business model is a network of medical service providers, including primary care physicians, specialists and ancillary service providers such as laboratories and pharmacies, among others, all of whom must satisfy the requirements of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), which is the U.S. Federal agency that administers Medicare, Medicaid and the Medicare Advantage program. We also offer healthcare providers variousmanagement support services that enable providers to decrease their operating costsphysician’s practice and increase efficiency and productivity. These management support services are available to all healthcare providers, whether or not they are part of our provider system. Intheir revenue collection rate.

Since its inception, the future, we expect to leverage our relationships with our healthcare providers to cross-market our management support services and the benefits of participation in our network. The Company has five HMO contractsbeen heavily dependent upon the receipt of which four are providing memberscapital investment or other financing and revenue to fund its continuing activities. In addition to the normal risks associated with a number ofnew business venture, there can be no assurance that the Company’s Community Health Systems (CHS) inproduct development will be successfully completed or that it will be a commercial success.

Restatement of Period Ended January 31, 2008 Financial Statements

The Company has restated its condensed consolidated financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 (the “Restatement”), and certain disclosures in notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements have been amended to reflect the Restatement adjustments.

The financial statements included in the original report have been restated to reflect (i) the appropriate allocation of the components of the Company’s securities offered in connection with various private placements dated August 29, 2006, December 18, 2006 and March 29, 2007, which securities included secured convertible debentures with a beneficial conversion feature and common stock, and (ii) the resulting amortization of the corresponding costs. In addition, the Company updated and corrected its revenue and medical cost disclosures following one of the HMO payer’s notification to the Company that it had reported to a regulatory agency that the Company was not at full risk during the year ended October 31, 2007, which was contrary to information previously provided to the Company. The full risk transactions related to the HMO payer in question have been reversed and the correct not at risk revenue and expenses have been rec orded for the fiscal period in question. The table below illustrates the individual account/line items affected by the Restatement.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

JANUARY 31, 2009

(UNAUDITED)



Note 2: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At Julyboth January 31, 20082009 and October 31, 2007,2008, the Company has $52,140 and $51,074, respectively, inhad restricted cash of $52,258, which is restricted and serves as collateral for a surety bond in connection with the development of the Company’s third party administrator operations.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of its cash. At JulyJanuary 31, 2008,2009, the Company maintained a cash balance of $299,293$69,430 in a checking account, and $2,901,949$93,061 in a money market account, respectively, at one banking institution. The bank has a “strong”strong rating issued by Standard and Poor.Poor’s. The aforementioned cash balance is not in excess of the $100,000 FDIC$250,000 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurable limit.

Property and Equipment

Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to five years.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated 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;liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements;statements, and the reported amount of revenuesrevenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Due fromto HMO and IBNR

The HMOsHMO payers pay medical claims and other costs on ourthe Company’s behalf. Based on the terms of the contracts with the HMOs,HMO payers, a fund surplus or deficit is calculated from the HMOsHMO payers that is calculated by offsetting revenue earned with medical claims expense, calculated as claims paid on ourthe Company’s behalf plus an amount reserved for claims incurred but not reported (IBNR)(“IBNR”). Estimated liability for IBNR claims incurred but not reported is independently estimated based on industry experience as we dothe Company does not yet have sufficient historical data for payment patterns, cost trends, utilization of healthcare services and other relevant factors including independent actuarial calculation.

Income Taxes

We haveThe Company has not recognized any future tax benefit arising from net operating loss carry forward in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the provisions of Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS No. 109), “AccountingAccounting for Income Taxes, as the realization of this deferred tax benefit is not likely. A 100% valuation allowance has been established to offset the entire amount of ourthe Company’s net deferred tax asset.

WeThe Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting(FIN No. 48),Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. FIN 48 provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is ‘more-likely-than-not”more-likely-than-not of being sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. If an uncertain tax position meets the “more-likely-than-not”more-likely-than-not threshold, the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being recognized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority is recorded.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS No. 142),Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company accounts for goodwill in a purchase business combination as the excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets acquired. Business combinations can also result in other intangible assets being recognized. Amortization of intangible assets, if applicable, occurs over the estimated useful lives. SFAS No. 142 requires companies to test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis (or an interim basis if an event occurs that might reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value) using a two-step method. The Company conducts this review during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year absent any triggering event. No impairment resulted from the annual review performed in fiscal 2008. SFAS No. 142 also requires that an identifiable intangible asset that is determined to have an indefinite useful economic life not be amortized, but separately tested for impairment, at least annually, using a one step fair value based approach or when certain indicators of impairment are present.

Goodwill is recorded in connection with business combinations as the excess purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but tested for recoverability annually or more frequently if indicators of possible impairment exist. WeThe Company will recognize an impairment loss if the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value determination. As of JulyJanuary 31, 2008,2009, there was no impairment of goodwill.

PrinciplesLong-Lived Assets

In accordance with Statement of ConsolidationFinancial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS No. 144),Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company determines whether there has been an impairment of long-lived assets, excluding goodwill and identifiable intangible assets that are determined to have indefinite useful economic lives, when certain indicators of impairment are present. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of any long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be performed. If an evaluation is required, the estimated future gross, undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset would be compared to the asset’s carrying amount to determine if a write-down to market value is required. Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of underlying long-lived assets could result in losses or an inability to recover the carrying value of the long-lived assets that may not be reflected in the assets’ current carrying value, thereby possibly requiring an impairment charge in the future.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statementsCompany reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In evaluating the fair value and future benefits of its intangible assets, management performs an analysis of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flow of the individual assets over the remaining amortization period. The Company recognizes an impairment loss if the carrying value of the asset exceeds the expected future cash flows. During the year ended October 31, 2008 the Company entered into an agreement with Net.Orange, Inc. for the period ended July 31, 2008, include the accountsdevelopment of The Quantum Group, Inc. andadditional software capabilities to incorporate enhancements to its subsidiaries, Renaissance Health Systems, Inc., Quantum Medical Technologies, Inc., QMed Solutions, Inc., The Quantum Agency, Inc. and Renaissance Administrative Services, Inc.

Note 11: Loss Per Share

16Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares for the period. The computation of diluted loss per share is similar to basic loss per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares, such as options, had been issued. Diluted loss per share does not give effect to warrants or options granted, as the effects would be anti-dilutive.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. The discussion in this section regarding our business and operations includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1996. Such statements consist of any statement other than a recitation of historical fact and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” or “continue,” or the negative thereof or other variations thereof or comparable terminology. You are cautioned that all forward-looking statements are speculative, and there are certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ from thosethos e referred to in such forward-looking stateme nts.statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in the “Risk Factors” section.factors.

General

We offer consultingare a Healthcare Services Organization (HSO) that provides business process solutions and outsourcing servicesservice chain management to health maintenance organizations (HMOs) that market Medicare Advantage managedthe healthcare plans as well as to healthcare providers in the state of Florida through our Community Health Systems, also referred to asprovider systems. Medicare Advantage is Medicare’s managed care alternative to Medicare’s traditional fee-for-service model. The foundation of our business model is a network of healthcare providers, including primary care physicians, specialists and ancillary service providers such as laboratories and pharmacies, among others, all of whom must satisfy the requirements of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS),industry, which is the U.S. federal agency that administers Medicare, Medicaid and the Medicare Advantage program. We also offer variousmanagement support services to healthcare providers, HMOs, healthcare facilities and physician associations that enable them to decrease the ir operating costs and increase efficiency and productivity. These management support services are available to all healthcare providers, whether or not they are part of our network. In the future, we expect to leverage our relationships with our healthcare providers to cross-market our managementinclude support services and leading-edge technology. We coordinate the benefitscare of participation in our network. The Company is additionally leveraging cutting-edge technology with the development and execution of a series of innovative initiatives (including patent pending business processes) designed to make Quantum onepatients on behalf of the leading providers of business solutions forpayers1 that have contracted with us through the healthcare industry in Florida.

The foundationutilization of our Company is the 2,000+ healthcare providers affiliated with the Company through Renaissance Health System (RHS) of Florida, Inc., a Quantum subsidiary company. Since launching recruitment efforts in January 2005, RHS has established 26 county based community health systems (CHS) in Florida, with an additional 6 counties to be added by the end of December 2008. The Company plans to continue a measured rollout



18





of additional CHS to eventually encompass all 67 Florida counties. Each county must meet established criteria set forth by CMS as to the number and type of healthcare providers required to meet certification as a complete delivery system. In a small county this may be as few as 31 providers, while in larger counties the minimum requirement averages 70+. Today RHS averages 77 providers per county.

Upon completion of a CHS, RHS is able to market the delivery system to a health plan. RHS has established contracts with numerous health plans. We anticipate continued growth of these contracts in both quantity and scope of service. RHS is assigned patients by each health plan or by physicians, or through direct marketing efforts of the health plan. Beginning in January 2007 with 300 patients, RHS has grown to over 3,000 patients in August 2008. We expect that we will reach 5,000 patient lives under management by the end of the 2008 calendar year.

These patients are cared for initially by our 365 primary care physicians (PCP). Some of the PCP’s have as many as 400 patients.

As mandated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the U.S. federal agency that administers Medicare, Medicaid and the Medicare Advantage program, we have separate networks of healthcare providers covering all required medical fields and ancillary services in every county where we currently operate. Each county serves as a community-based comprehensive delivery system of care, called a community health system (CHS).

Once CMS-compliant, we then make our county-wide CHS network of healthcare providers(provider systems) available to health insurance plans with whom we contract on a non-exclusive basis. Our network participants, whetherindependent physicians, physician groups or other healthcare providers, are eligible to treat member/patientsand our own technology systems. Our primary stream of all of our contracted health plan partners and can do so without going through separate admission processes (negotiating, contracting, credentialing) withrevenue flows from the various plans.

The healthcare industry presents a strong needmonthly premiums received for better quality and productivity. By virtueassuming full risk management of these relationships,patients. We currently have contracts with payers for two types of insurance products, Medicare and Medicaid, and we relieve the healthcare providersare expanding services to include commercial and the health plans of substantial administrative and repetitive burdens generally associated with the operations of a managed care enterprise and with the verification of medical credentials (credentialing) of healthcare providers that desire to participate in the managed care plans of the healthuniversal insurance plans/payers, as required by CMS regulations.products.

The Company believes that the value enhancing solutions it brings to the health plans is in these established CHS that provide the opportunity to quickly, and with lower cost, expand and operate into new counties in the State of Florida or enhance an existing network of physicians currently caring for their patients. Additional services of benefit to the payers include our experienced Patient Care Team which closely monitors the treatment and care of patients to ensure efficiency, effectiveness and overall quality patient care.

The Company is also implementing and leveraging cutting-edge technology as it has recognized business process challenges in the management of our patient lives, specifically in coordinating the communications of and interactionsOur model interacts with each of the three key hubs (providers,of the healthcare industry – the providers (primary care physicians/specialists/ancillary facilities), hospitals, and payers. To accomplish the connectivity required for these communications, we have recently developed software technology to better manage its core business. We have a HIPAA2compliant enterprise platform that includes multiple applications used by provider offices or hospitals known as PWeR™ (Personal Wellnesselectronic Record™). PWeR is a low cost, multi-application, patient-centric platform, capable of receiving patient information from multiple sources. PWeR is a simple to use software system written as Web-based, open architecture, and is software as a service (SaaS) platform. The scalability of PWeR allows for centralized patient data to be accumulated at local, state, national and global levels. We have engaged International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”), a New York Stock Exchange listed company, to host our system, thereby providing reliability, security, scalability and privacy. We have filed 18 provisional patents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, which support technology that is intended to enhance the capabilities of PWeR. The provisional patents include the improvement of prescription accuracy, real-time updates of patient records, streamlined inventory management of supplies within a healthcare provider’s facility, and customized interfaces with the PWeR platform for each user to provide for a more efficient and productive experience. PWeR is currently being marketed to our network of healthcare providers, as well as, healthcare providers outside the network, hospitals and other payers, such as state governments.

Provider Systems Revenue – Medicare Advantage

At the current time, all our revenue is generated from contracts with HMO payers that we have contracted with. We have eight signed contracts with HMO payers, of which we are providing services to five. Four of the five signed contracts are at “full risk”. A full risk contract means we assume the full financial risk of medical costs associated with the healthcare costs of the HMO member and receive a percentage of the premium that the HMO payer receives from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”). The fifth contract is also a full risk contract; however, we are not at full risk until we are assigned a minimum of 300 members by the HMO payer. We receive an administrative fee for the use of their network of healthcare providers.

The federal government, under proposed initiatives, is exploring ways to reduce the cost of healthcare as a whole, and Medicare and Medicaid in particular. These initiatives could reduce the premiums that CMS pays our HMO payers and in turn could reduce the revenue per member per month we receive. We cannot predict the certainty of any proposed changes to the Medicare and Medicaid requirements or funding. Any implementation of changes could adversely affect our future development and profitability of our provider systems.

We are planning to expand our services to include additional products such as commercial health insurance and expanding the type of payers we contract with.

PWeR – Personal Wellness electronic Record

Due to the lack of automation in thisthe healthcare industry, is exemplifiedwe have made a significant investment in our technology solution by the fact that most transactions are still being conducted by either phone, paper or fax. In response to this industry-wide challenge, the Company licensedlicensing and developed thedeveloping various applications of PWeR™, (Personal Wellness Electronic Record) which has been designed and architectedPWeR to fill a gap in the healthcarethis industry’s ability to communicate, share information, and make more informed treatment decisions. PWeR is a patient-centric ERP system. ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning and is a way of integrating the data and processes of an organization into one single syst em.system. Usually ERP systems will have many components, including hardware and software and to achieve integration and mostintegration. Most use a unified database to store data for various functions found throughout the organization.

PWeR is unique to this industry as it is a Web based platform that stores a patient’s medical records from multiple sources, therefore providing the patient with a comprehensive personal health record (PHR). PWeR utilizes middleware architecture to serve as the platform for more than 24 software applications which have been integrated or developed. PWeR is designed to interface with other EMR’selectronic medical records (“EMRs”) or practice management software and is the first system to integrate the data from a patient’s electronic medical record (EMR)EMR into a comprehensive disease management program, all within the same platform. As a result of the construction and capabilities of PWeR, it will serve aswe anticipate a low-cost technology solution to all participantsreduction in the healthcare process.



19





PWeR has the capability and scalability to serve as a data hub for a community, state or nation. We believe that the ability to access comprehensive patient data from multiple providers will result in better care, reduced cost and increased efficiencies industry-wide. Some of the benefits of PWeR to the healthcare industry include analytical tools to aide in disease management and prevention, elimination ofour medical errors caused by lack of information, improved patient outcomes and diminished costs associated with repetitive tests. Further,our provider system. Additionally, we believe that there is a market for this technology solution throughout the system was designedhealthcare industry. We are starting to provide a high level of security, including authorized access and redundancy capabilities.

The Company has filed 18 provisional patents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office which support technology that is intended to enhance the capabilities of PWeR. The provisional patents include the improvement of prescription accuracy; real-time updates of patient records; streamlined inventory management of supplies within a healthcare provider’s facility; and customized interfaces with the PWeR platform for each user to provide for a more efficient and productive experience.

PWeR was launched in July 2008 at the largest free clinic in Palm Beach County, Florida, the Caridad Center. Over 140 healthcare providers volunteer their services at the Clinic and now have exposure to and interaction with PWeR. The Company is in the process of implementing PWeR internally. We anticipate expanding the deployment of PWeRmarket this solution to our network of healthcare providers, healthcare providers outside our network, hospitals and foresee expansionpayers. With the emphasis by the federal government on the implementation of the platform to a wider geographical market. Quantum has secured exclusive world wide distributiontechnology solutions for the PWeR system.

Wehealthcare industry through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, we believe that PWeR meets all requirements. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 authorized up to $19 billion over the next eight years to be spent on reimbursing providers who adopt approved EMR systems. We cannot predict if our networkPWeR platform will qualify for reimbursement, and if it does, exactly how much and/or how our subscribing users will be compensated. This is in part because the appropriate federal and state agencies have not yet detailed the use of 2,000 healthcare providers, multiple health plan partnerssuch funds. This could have an impact on the sale and our technology platform places us in the position of being the primary interface between the aforementioned three hubs and affords us the opportunity of becoming the preferred management service provider of administrative, practice management and ancillary services to healthcare providers that participate in our network as well as to other healthcare providers, physician groups, testing facilities, nursing homes and hospitals.

Affiliated providers have access to the variousmanagement support services we offer that are customized specificallyfor healthcare providers, health plans, healthcare facilities and physician associations that enable them to decrease their operating costs and increase efficiency and productivity. Additionally, these management support services are available to all healthcare providers, whether or not they are partutilization of our network, which further extends our ability to leverage our relationships with healthcare providers to cross-market our management support services and the benefits of participation in our network.PWeR platform.

We maintain a corporate office in Wellington, Florida that houses operational personnel, as well as accounting, marketing and other support staff. Occasionally, we have engaged consultants to assist on a specific project, or for a short timeshort-time period. Office space rent, supplies, other general costs and depreciation expense related to office furniture and equipment costs are also included in general and administrative costs.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenuesrevenue and expenses in the reporting period. We regularly make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities.

We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between our estimates and the actual results, our future results of operations will be affected.

Our critical accounting policies and estimates involve the use of complicated processes, assumptions, estimates and/or judgments in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. An accounting estimate is an approximation made by management of a financial statement element, item or account in the financial statements. Accounting estimates in our historical condensed consolidated financial statements measure the effects of past business transactions or events, or the present status of an asset or liability. The accounting estimates described below require us to make assumptions about matters that are uncertain at the time the estimate is made. Additionally, different estimates that we could have used or changes in an accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur could have a material impact on the presentation of our condensed consolidated financial condition or



20





results of operations. We base our estimates on historicalhis torical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments. These estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained, and as our operating environment changes. Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.condensed consolidated financial statements. We have discussed the development and selection of our critical





accounting policies and related disclosures with our Audit Committee and have identified the following critical accounting policies for the current fiscal year.period.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has negative cash flows from operating activities of approximately $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2009 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $42.2 million at January 31, 2009 that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. If we do not obtain additional funding during March 2009, we may substantially curtail or cease our operations all together. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

For the remainder of the year ended October 31, 2009, the Company will need additional cash infusions to meet its operating expenses. The Company’s common stock trades on the NYSE Amex and the Company intends to raise additional public or private equity or debt. The Company may also secure strategic alliances or other joint ventures to defray a portion of its expenditures. No assurances can be made that the Company will be successful in these activities. Should the events not occur the financial statements will be materially affected.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects of the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” below.

Principles of Consolidation

We consolidate entities when we have the ability to control the operating and financial decisions and policies of that entity. The determination of our ability to control or exert significant influence over an entity involves the use of judgment. Therefore, we have included in our condensed consolidated financial statements the transactions of the billing companies that have been operating under management agreements under which we have taken on the profit and loss risk, throughthru December 31, 2007, the date of the termination of the management agreement.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 “Goodwill(SFAS No. 142),Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” (SFAS No. 142) requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives be tested for impairment annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that may reduce the fair value of our goodwill below its carrying value. We completed animpairment test as required under SFAS No. 142 in thefourth quarter of fiscal year 20072008 and determined that the goodwill was not impaired. Changes in estimates or application of alternative assumptions and definitions could produce significantly different results.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We establish provisions for losses on accounts receivable if we determine that we will not collect all or part of the outstanding balance. We regularly review collectability and establish or adjust our allowance as necessary using the specific identification method.

Medicare Considerations

Substantially all of our provider systems revenuesrevenue from continuing operations areis based upon Medicare funded programs. The federal government from time to time explores ways to reduce medical care costs through Medicare reform and through healthcare reform generally. Any changes that would limit, reduce, or delay receipt of Medicare funding or any developments that would disqualify us from receiving Medicare funding could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, prospects, financial results, financial condition or cash flows. Due to the diverse range of proposals put forth and the uncertainty of any proposal’s adoption, we cannot predict what impact any Medicare reform proposal ultimately adopted may have on our business, financial position or results of operations.





Revenue Recognition

Under our full-riskfull risk contracts with HMOs,payers, we receive a percentage of premium or other capitated fee for each patient who chooses one of our network physicians as his or her primary care physician. RevenuesRevenue under these agreements areis generally recorded in the period we assume responsibilityare responsible to provide services at the rates then in effect as determined by the respective contract. As part of the Medicare Advantage program, CMS periodically re-computes the premiums to be paid to the HMOspayers based on the updated health status of participants and demographic factors. We record any adjustments to these revenues at the time that the information necessary to make the determination of the adjustment is received from the HMO.payer.

Under our full-riskfull risk agreements, we assume responsibility for the cost of substantially all medical services provided to the patient (including prescription drugs), even those services we do not provide directly, in exchange for a percentage of premium or other capitated fee. To the extent that patients require more frequent or expensive care, our revenuesrevenue under a contract may be insufficient to cover the costs of care provided. We are covered by stop-lossstop loss insurance policies and programs that limit our maximum risk exposure for each of our patients. No contracts were considered loss contracts at July 31, 2008, because we have the right to terminate unprofitable physicians under our managed care contracts.



21





The majority of our revenuesrevenue from management support services arewas generated from services provided fromby the medical billing and collectionscollection services company. We receivereceived a contractual fee based on the total claim reimbursementsreimbursement received by the billing company’s clients. These management agreements were terminated as of December 31, 2007. Currently we do not have any active management contracts.

Medical Claims Expense Recognition

The cost of healthcare services provided or contracted for is accrued in the period in which the services are provided. This cost includes our estimate of the related liability for medical claims incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) in the period but not yet reported, or IBNR.period. IBNR represents a material portion of our medical claims liability which is presented inon the balance sheet. As of JulyJanuary 31, 2008,2009, the balance of IBNR allowance is $1,774,431.$4,147,820. Changes in this estimate can materially affect, either favorably or unfavorably, our results from operations and overall financial position.

Normally, IBNR claims are estimated using historical claims patterns, current enrollment trends, member utilization patterns, timeliness of claims submissions, estimates provided by payers and other factors. However, we have a limited amount of history on which to base our estimated IBNR allowance. Therefore, we are currently using an approximation based on industry experience primarily based on historical claims incurred per membe rmember per month. We adjust our estimate if we have unusually high or low utilization or if benefit changes provided under the HMOpayer plans are expected to significantly increase or reduce our claims exposure. We also adjust our estimate for differences between the estimated claims expense that are recorded in prior months toand the actual claims expense as claims are paid by the HMOpayer and reported to us.

Until we have accumulated adequate history to further refine our calculation of IBNR, we have determined that the current method allows for the calculation of a reasonable estimate of IBNR. There can, however, be no assurance that the ultimate liability will not exceed estimates. Adjustments to the estimated IBNR claims are recorded in results of our operations in the periods when such amounts are determined. Per guidance under SFASStatement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5 “Accounting(SFAS No. 5),Accounting for Contingencies, we accrue for IBNR claims when it is probable that expected future healthcare costs and maintenance costs under an existing contract have been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimable. We record a charge related to these IBNR claims as medical claims expense.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of SFASStatement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 “Accounting(SFAS No. 109),Accounting for Income Taxes.”Taxes. SFAS No. 109 requires the use of an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences, using currently enacted tax laws, attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. We record current income taxes based on our current taxable income, and we provide for deferred income taxes to reflect estimated future tax payments and receipts. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, based on our estimates, it is more likely than not that a portion of those assets will not be realized in a future period. The estimates utilizedutili zed in recognition of deferred tax assets are sub jectsubject to revision, either up or down, in future periods based on new facts or circumstances. During the ninethree months ended JulyJanuary 31, 2008,2009, we





determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized, resulting in a full valuation allowance at JulyJanuary 31, 2008.2009. We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting(FIN 48),Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-anTaxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. FIN 48 provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is ‘more-likely-than-not”more-likely-than-not of being sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. If an uncertain tax position meets the “more-likely-than-not” threshold,more-likely-than-not th reshold, the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being recognized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority is recorded.

Share-Based Payment

Effective November 1, 2006, we adopted theThe provisions of SFASStatement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (SFAS No. 123(R)),Share-Based Payment” which, establishes accounting for stock-based awards exchanged for employee and non-employee services. Accordingly, equity classified stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. Liability classified stock-based compensation cost is re-measured at each reporting date and is recognized over the requisite service period. We have elected to calculate the fair value of our employee stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and



22





the expense for option awards with graded vesting provisions is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each separately vesting portion of the award.

Results of Operations

From inception, we have focused on building networks of healthcare providers, negotiating and signing contracts with HMOs, providing services for members of our health plan partners and developing our business administration and support team. We have executed full risk contracts with multiple HMOs. These contracts encompass all 26 counties in Florida where RHS has established community health systems. In addition, the contracts provide for the continual expansion of the partnership as RHS builds community health systems throughout the state.

Under a full-risk contract, we receive a monthly dollar amount (a capitated rate) for each patient that chooses one of our contracted healthcare providers as his or her primary care physician. A contract generally will not generate revenues until we have a complete CMS-compliant county network of healthcare providers or a CHS that is ready to provide comprehensive care to the Medicare Advantage patients in the specified counties, and patients enrolled under the contract with contracted healthcare providers in our CHS. Annually, beginning on November 15, health plans can sign up new members who may elect to join our provider systems during the open enrollment period under a managed care plan operated under the Medicare Advantage program. Open enrollment ends March 31 of each year. This is our “window of opportunity” for new contracts to begin generating revenues on January 1 of each calendar year. Although not as predi ctable, other opportunities also occur at the time that a person becomes eligible to participate in a managed care plan,e.g., when he or she becomes 65 years of age or becomes disabled, when enrolled patients are transferred from another plan, when another managed care plan is terminated by CMS or when a person moves from one service area to another. Revenues under these agreements are generally recorded in the period in which we are responsible for providing services at the rates then in effect as determined by the respective contract. As part of the Medicare Advantage program, CMS periodically re-computes the premiums to be paid to the HMOs based on the updated health status of the member and updated demographic factors. Any change in premium from CMS to the HMO will adjust the premiums we receive from the health plan. We record any adjustments to these revenues at the time that the information necessary to make the determination of the adjustment is received from the health plan. We commenced gene rating revenues under one contract in September 2005 in Volusia County, Florida, with Dade and Broward Counties added in January 2006, under the next health plan contract in December 2006, and under the next contract in January 2007 and under the next health plan contract in February 2008.

Our provider systems’ revenues generally consist of a percentage of premiums paid by CMS to the contracted health plans on a “Per Member Per Month” (PMPM) basis, known as a capitated fee. The actual percentage is negotiated with the health plan. The amount of PMPM varies depending upon the CMS premium, which is influenced by a patient’s age, residing county, health profile and other factors. Management support services revenues are generated by contracting with healthcare providers to provide billing and collections services and, to a limited degree, insurance products specifically tailored to physician’s needs, such as health, life, disability and malpractice insurance. Our insurance revenues are commissions paid to us on insurance products sold. The provider systems’ direct medical costs are a combination of actual medical costs paid by the health plan plus a reserve for future medical costs incurred but not reported (IBNR). Our provider systems direct costs include capitation payments to participating physicians and specialists, fee-for-service payments to non-participating physicians and specialists, payments to hospitals for in-patient and out-patient services, payments to pharmacies for prescription drugs and the allowance for IBNR. The management support services direct costs are related to the billing companies and include salaries, benefits and claims processing costs.

Total revenues for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2008, increased $3,176,734 and $8,457,988 compared to the three and nine months ended July 31, 2007, respectively. Provider systems revenues account for approximately 99.7% and 97.1% of our total revenues for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2008. The increase from the same periods last year is a direct result of active contracts with four HMOs. For the nine months ended July 31, 2007, we had only one HMO contract that was not at full risk and therefore generated only minimal revenues. Management support services revenues for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2008, decreased $407,966 and $938,865 compared to the three and nine months ended July 31, 2007. For the nine months ended July 31, 2007, we had only one management contract that had been in effect since December 2006 and was generating only minimal revenues. We are actively searching for other billing and collection companies for future management agreements or acquisitions.

Provider systems revenues growth is dependent on the number of new members/patients that enroll in the HMO network and are assigned to our healthcare providers. Although growth has been steady through fiscal 2008, additional growth has been limited by the fact that members cannot change HMO networks freely due to the statutory restrictions governing the Medicare Advantage plan. During the open enrollment period commencing on November 15, 2007 through March 31, 2008, we experienced 5% growth in the number of participating providers and 99% growth in members. We expect that the growth in the management support services revenues will initially be derived from acquisitions, entering into additional management agreements for existing management support services businesses and joint ventures. As we develop our sales and marketing capabilities, we expect that growth in management support services revenues will be derived from internal grow th as we have the resources to market these services to the healthcare providers in our network.

Direct Costs

Direct costs for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2008, increased $3,342,323 and $10,020,190 compared to the three and nine months ended July 31, 2007, respectively. Provider system costs increased $3,651,795 and $10,704,716, respectively for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively and management support services costs decreased $309,472 and $684,526 for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.. Provider systems direct costs increased because we were responsible for approximately 13,863 additional patient months under our HMO contracts as of the end of the 2008 period as compared to the same period in 2007. The direct cost amount for the nine months ended July 31, 2008, includes $10,899,369 of claims paid and reserved. During the nine months ended July 31, 2008, an additional $787,527 was paid for reinsurance to cover excessive medical costs (stop- loss insurance). We anticipate that the medical costs per member will decrease as we expand the number of members under care and with the implementation of our technology solutions. The majority of the management support services direct costs are composed of the condensed

consolidated transactions of the billing and collections companies that were under management contracts and which were incurred through December 2007.

Gross Profit

For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2008, the gross profit (loss) from provider systems was ($45,271) and ($1,251,861), respectively, and the gross profit from the management support services was $12,316 and $95,270, respectively. The gross profit margins on the provider systems are directly related to the terms and rates of our HMO agreements and are not likely to change over the life of the individual agreement unless we are able to renegotiate the terms and rates of such agreements to obtain a more favorable rate. The gross profit will increase as the number of member/patients under our care increases and our technology solutions are implemented.

Operating expenses for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2008, increased $241,228 and $4,390,551, respectively. Cash-based salaries and employee costs increased $118,358 and $1,650,940, respectively, due to compensation for additional employees and annual salary increases. During the period, we hired additional employees to service the expansion of provider systems and added corporate staff to support our expanded operations. Equity compensation increased $158,540 and $2,200,275, respectively, with the majority of the increase from the granting of options related to the amendment of the employment agreement of our Chief Executive Officer. Other general and administrative expenses decreased $66,753 for the three months ended July 31, 2008 and increased $474,977 for the nine months ended July 31, 2008, with travel and marketing comprising a majority of the changes. These expenses were incurred due to the continuing efforts to expand our operations. Additionally, our professional fees increased due to the expansion of our operations. Non-operating expenses decreased $1,796,951 and increased $3,226,121, respectively, due to the amortization of debt discount and financing costs during the first quarter related to the exchange of Bridge Shares resulting from the secondary public offering and the amortization of the costs related to various private placements with securities including secured convertible debentures with beneficial conversion features.

Net Loss

Net loss for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2008 and 2007 was $2,275,236; $3,665,370; $17,891,255 and $8,712,381, respectively. Net loss per share was $0.26; $1.89; $2.44 and $5.36 for the three and



25





nine months ended July 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The majority of the increase in the net loss for the nine months ended was attributed to costs related to the debt financing.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We were a development stage company through July 31, 2006, and began to report revenues from our operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. Since our inception, we have funded our business primarily through sales of our equity and debt securities. Since inception through JulyFor the quarter ended January 31, 2008,2009, we have incurred a net loss from operations of more than $17.9$3.8 million and an accumulated deficit at January 31, 2009 of more than $36.6$42.2 million.

As of July 31, 2008, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $3,396,908 which was available as a result of a secondary public offering effective December 13, 2007, in which we sold 1,200,000 of units of our securities at $11.00 per unit, or gross proceeds of $13,200,000. The units traded as a single security until separation on the 30th day or January 14, 2008, at which time the units separated into the underlying securities. Each unit consisted of three shares of common stock, two Class A 7-year non-callable warrants and two Class B 7-year non-callable warrants, each warrant to purchase one share of common stock. Each Class A warrant entitles its holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share. Each Class B warrant entitles it holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.00 per share. After expenses of $1,089,000 ( $759,000, representing the underwriting discount of 5.75%, and $330,000, representing the representative’s non-accountable expense allowance of 2.5%), the Company received net proceeds of $12,111,000. Additional expenses incurred in connection with completion of the offering totaled $614,456.

We had a working capital deficit at JulyJanuary 31, 2008,2009 of $503,275$6,437,369 as compared to a working capital deficit of $7,560,070$5,657,271 at JulyJanuary 31, 2007,2008, which represents an increase of $8,965,631.$780,098. The increase in the working capital deficit is due to an increase in debt and due to HMOs. Due to HMOs is the proceedsnet of premiums received from the secondary public offering as detailed above.HMO payers less medical costs paid by the HMO payers less any cash paid to the Company by HMO payer. The amount due HMO increase primarily because the medical expenses paid by the HMO exceeded the premiums earned.

We expecthave been dependent upon private capital to meet our short and long-term cash needs. Depending on a number of variables including sale of our PWeR system and growth in patients under management we could continue to experience negative cash flow from operating activities through at least the next twelve12 months as we continue to build our CHS networks (provider systems) and develop a suite of management support services. If we continue to incur negative cash flow from sources of operating activities for longer than expected, our ability to continue as a going concern could be in substantial doubt. We anticipate that we will haverequire additional funds through debt facilities, and/or public or private equity or debt financings to continue operations. We also may need to raise additional capital duringfinancing if our business strategy is not successful, we do not achieve positive cash flow from operating activities, and/or we acquire one or more companies, technologies or assets. During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we raised $325,000 by issuing promissory notes to our officers, directors and shareholders to meet immediate operational needs of our Company. Terms of these notes are described in detail under Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. An additional $546,250 was raised during February and March 2009 by issuing additional promissory notes to meet immediate operational needs of our Company. We believe that these proceeds along with our working capital resources are adequate to finance our operations through the issuanceend of debtMarch 2009, but we will need to engage in capital-raising transactions in 2009 or salewe will need to significantly modify our business plan in order to sustain our operations. If we do not obtain additional funding during March 2009, we may substantially curtail or cease our operations all together. Any future, additional capital will likely result in dilution to our current shareholders, which may be substantial. We cannot provide any assura nce that we will be able to obtain the capital we require on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to us. Refer to Item 5, “Other Information,” for information regarding a Notice of equity.Continued Listing Deficiency from NYSE Amex.

Our businessdevelopment plan includes the identification of and acquisition or joint venturing of businesses and services that will allow us to provide comprehensive healthcare management support services to the healthcare industry. We anticipate the first acquisitions will be related to the development of the medical staffing services through QMed People, Inc., and the addition of billing and collection services through QMed Solutions, Inc. The guidelines we have established for acquisitions include acquiring companies that are profitable and producing positive cash flow.services. We expect to finance these acquisitionssecure financing for any such acquisition by obtaining additional financing from outside lenders.





Under the terms of certain lockup agreements between the Company and certain of its convertible debt holders from private placements of the Company’s securities in August 2006 through March 2007, we were required to pay a recurring fee to such debt holders who converted their convertible debt into units of unregistered securities of the issuanceCompany sold in the December 2007 secondary public offering. The conversion fee was to be paid by the Company quarterly at a rate of stock, seller1% per month of the principal amount of the convertible debt financingplus accrued interest. To date, the Company has paid the first two quarterly payments for March and June 2008 with the securitization of third party financing such as an acquisition line of credit.remaining $327,316 unpaid and outstanding to date.

In February 2008, Quantum Medical Technologies, Inc., entered into an agreement with Net.Orange, Inc., a software development company. Net.Orange has developed a clinical operating system, which incorporates multiple applications such as electronic medical records, practice management, billing and collection, archiving and storage, system, and configurable Web portals. With this healthcare technology, we believe we will be able to offer a patient-centric, web-basedWeb-based information system to include our network of over 3,0002,000 healthcare providers as well as the entire healthcare community at large. The advantages of this healthcare operating system will include the addition of patient care management and disease management software which we believe will assist us in reducing our healthcare costs for our patients under RHS. The agreement with Net.Orange includes an annual fee of $100,000 plus additional user fees. We have also contracted wit h Net.Orangewith Net. Orange for the development of additional software capabilities to incorporate enhancements to theirits healthcare software system for a monthly fee of $50,000. Net.Orange has completed the Disease Management Module and is now developing specific disease models, completing enhancements to the EMR system, and is continuing to develop additional functionalities within the PWeR environment. In July of 2008, PWeR was launched as a beta test at the Caridad Center, the largest free clinic in Palm Beach County, Florida. By implementing PWeR at the Caridad Center, we have provided exposure and interaction of PWeR to over 140 healthcare providers who volunteer their services at the Clinic. We are expanding the deployment of PWeR to our network of healthcare providers and expanding the platform to the national market. Quantum has secured exclusive worldwide distribution for the PWeR system.

We have been dependent upon private capital to meet our short and long-term cash needs. We expect to continue to experience negative cash flow from operating activities through at least the next twelve months as we continue to build our CHS networks (provider systems) and develop a suite of management support services. If we continue to incur negative cash flow from operating activities for longer than expected, our ability to continue as a going concern could be in substantial doubt. We will require additional funds through debt facilities, and/or public or private equity or debt financings to continue operations. We also may need to raise additional financing if our business strategy is not successful, and we do not achieve positive cash flow from operating activities, or should we acquire one or more companies, technologies or assets.

Our development plan includes the identification of and acquisition or joint venturing of businesses and services that will allow us to provide comprehensive healthcare management support services.

Revenue

Total revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2009 increased by $4,624,118, or 168.8%, compared to the three months ended January 31, 2008. The increase in revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2009 is a direct result of active contracts with five HMO payers. Provider systems revenue of $7,363,293 accounted for 99.9% of our total revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2009 as compared to provider systems revenue of $2,463,542, representing 90% of our total revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2008. Management support services revenue represents 0.1% of our total revenue, which decreased by $275,633 from the three months ended January 31, 2008 and the three months ended January 31, 2009 due to the termination of the medical billing and collection services company contracts as of December 31, 2007.

Provider systems revenue growth is dependent on the number of new members/patients that enroll in the payer plans and are assigned to our healthcare providers. Although growth has been steady through January 31, 2009, additional growth has been limited by the fact that members cannot change payer networks freely due to the statutory restrictions governing the Medicare Advantage plans. We expect that the growth in the management support services revenue will initially be derived from acquisitions, entering into additional management agreements for existing management support services businesses, and joint ventures. Then, as we develop our sales and marketing capabilities, we expect that growth in management support services revenue will be derived from internal growth as we have the resources to market these services to the healthcare providers in our network.

Direct Costs

Direct costs for the three months ended January 31, 2009 increased $5,627,450 compared to the three months ended January 31, 2008. Provider system costs increased $5,827,029 from the three months ended January 31, 2008. Provider systems direct costs increased because we were responsible for approximately 6,538 additional patient months under our HMO payer contracts as of the three months ended 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. Management support services costs decreased by $199,579 from the three months ended January 31, 2008. This decrease was due to the termination of the medical billing and collection services company contracts as of December 31, 2007.

The direct costs amount for the three months ended January 31, 2009, includes $8,134,082 of claims paid and reserved. During the three months ended January 31, 2009, an additional $460,127 was paid for reinsurance to cover excessive medical costs (stop loss insurance). We anticipate that the medical costs per member will decrease as we expand the number of members under care and with the implementation of our technology solutions, which will eventually reverse our negative gross profit. The majority of the management support services direct costs are composed of the condensed consolidated transactions of the billing and collection services companies that were under management contracts and which were incurred through December 2007.

Operating expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2009 decreased $56,740 from the three months ended January 31, 2008. Salaries and employee costs decreased $287,012 due to $300,000 in bonuses and $500,000 paid in deferred compensation during January 31, 2008. Headcount increased from January 31, 2008 to January 31, 2009 by 38 employees, which accounted for a $500,000 increase in salaries. Stock-based compensation increased by $51,808 primarily due to the granting of options related to the Amendment to Noel J. Guillama’s Executive Employment Agreement. During this period, we hired additional employees to service the expansion of provider systems and added corporate staff to support our expanded operations. Other general and administrative expenses increased by $157,681, which for the three months ended January 31, 2009 includes $183,413 in legal, consulting, and software development. Non-operating expenses decreased $7,805,236, w hich is due to costs associated with the decrease in the amortization of financing costs and debt discount.

Net Loss

Net loss for the three months ended January 31, 2009 and 2008 was $3,830,581 and $10,689,225, respectively, representing a decrease of $6,858,644 from the three months ended January 31, 2008. The majority of the decrease was attributed to costs related to the debt financing of $3,687,229 and the amortization of the debt discount of $4,001,649 for the three months ended January 31, 2008. Net loss per share was $0.40 and $1.85 for the three months ended January 31, 2009 and 2008.

Item 4.4T.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report,Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”) conducted evaluations of our disclosure controls and procedures. As defined under Sectionsin Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Act, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’sCommission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure





that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including the Certifying Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. An explanation of the deficiencies and proposed remedies is set forth below.

The Certifying Officers determined that certain deficiencies involving internal controls constituted material weaknesses as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. The Certifying Officers determined that the Company’s lack of formal control design structure to close financial statements to prepare for the annual audit or quarterly reviews constituted significant deficiencies as of the end of the same period.

The material weaknesses identified did not result in the restatement of any previously reported financial statements or any other related financial disclosure. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness; yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company’s financial reporting.

The Company’s management and the Audit Committee considered what changes, if any, were necessary to the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that the deficiencies described above would not recur in the future reporting periods. In its review, the management and the Audit Committee noted that the deficiencies described above related principally to the Company’s shortage of qualified accounting and finance personnel and the stress on such personnel currently in place at the Company. The Audit Committee and the management further noted that the deficiencies described above did not have any effect on the accuracy of the Company’s financial statements for the reporting period in question.

As a result of these findings, the Company has determined that in order to remedy these control deficiencies it needed to hire additional accounting and finance personnel having adequate experience in the preparation of financial statements and data of a public reporting company, in the application of US GAAP and SEC reporting matters. No additional changes to the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were needed in response to the deficiencies described above. The Company commenced its remediation efforts and since then has hired 3 additional accounting and finance personnel having adequate experience in the preparation of financial statements and data of a public reporting company, in the application of US GAAP and SEC reporting matters. No additional changes to the Company disclosure controls and procedures were needed in response to the deficiencies described above.

The Company believes that the completion of these steps will allow it to conclude that its disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported by our management on a timely basis in order to comply with our disclosure obligations under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations there under.

The Company’s Chief Financial Officer is and will continue to oversee accounting and financial reporting personnel and is consulting regularly with the Company’s auditors and the Audit Committee on all such matters.

On September 19, 2008, the Company filed its amended Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB with interim financial statements for the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2007, January 31, 2008 and April 30, 2008, respectively. The purpose of these restated filings was to reflect (i) the appropriate allocation of

the components of the Company’s securities offered in connection with various private placements dated August 29, 2006, December 18, 2006 and March 29, 2007, which securities included secured convertible debentures with a beneficial conversion feature and common stock, and (ii) the resulting amortization of the corresponding costs. In addition, the Company updated and corrected its revenue and medical cost disclosures following one of the HMO’sHMO payer’s notification to the Company that it had reported to a regulatory agency that the Company was not “at risk”.at risk. The “at risk”full risk transactions related to the HMO payer in question were reversed and the correct “notnot at risk”risk revenue and expenses were recorded for the fiscal periods in question. At the time of its evaluations in connection with this Quarterlythe Annual Report, the Company did not believe that the restatements were as a result of material weaknesses in the Company’s cont rolscontrols and disclosures. The Company is in the process of reviewingreviewed its financial reporting controls to ascertain whether there are any additional procedures and controls required in light of these restatements and





the most recent restatements.

As reported in its Quarterly Report for the fiscal period ended April 30, 2008, and amendments thereto, the Certifying Officers noted certain deficiencies related to the monitoring and review of work performed by the Company controller in preparation of audit and financial statement schedules, footnotes and review of financial data provided to the Independent Registered Public Accountants in connection with the annual audit. In addition, the Certifying Officers determined that the Company’s minimal segregation of duties and a lack of formal control design structure to close financial statements to prepare for the annual audit constituted significant deficiencies asisolated, non-recurring nature of the end of the same period. Such material weaknesses identified did not result in the restatement of any previously reported financial statements or any other related financial disclosure.transactions that caused such restatements. The Company commencedintends to continue its remediation effortsreviews and since then has hired 3 additio nal accounting and finance personnel having adequate experienceupdates of its controls procedures, as from time to time, it may deem so appropriate.

Following the completion of these remediation steps, the Company concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective.Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Other Information

NoneNotice of NYSE Amex Delisting

On March 17, 2009, the Company received notice from the NYSE Amex (formerly American Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”)) notifying the Company it is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(iv) of the Company Guide. Specifically, the Exchange staff noted that the Company sustained losses which are so substantial in relation to its overall operations or its existing financial sources that it appears questionable, in the opinion of the Exchange, as to whether the Company will be able to continue operations and/or meet its obligations as they mature.

In order to maintain its listing, the Company intends to submit a plan by April 16, 2009 outlining its compliance strategy with the continued listing deficiency by September 17, 2009. If the Company’s plan to regain compliance is accepted by the Exchange, the Company may be able to continue its listing during this period, during which time it will be subject to periodic review to determine progress consistent with the plan. If the Company does not submit a plan or if the plan is not accepted by the Exchange, the Company will be subject to delisting procedures as set forth in the Exchange Company Guide. Under Company Guide rules, the Company has the right to appeal the determination by the Exchange staff to initiate delisting proceedings. There is no assurance that the Exchange staff will accept the Company’s plan of compliance or that, even if such plan is accepted, the Company will be able to implement the plan within the prescribe d timeframe. Effective within 5 days of the receipt of the above-referenced deficiency, the Company’s stock trading symbol will be “.BC” indicator denoting the Company’s current noncompliance. The indicator will remain in place until the Company regains compliance with all applicable continued listing requirements.
