TRANSAX INTERNATIONAL LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2008
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company
Transax International Limited ("TNSX" or the "Company") was incorporated in the
State of Colorado in 1987. The Company currently trades on the OTC Bulletin
Board under the symbol "TNSX" and the Frankfurt and Berlin Stock Exchanges under
the symbol "TX6".
The Company, primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Medlink
Conectividade em Saude Ltda ("Medlink Conectividade") is an international
provider of information network solutions specifically designed for healthcare
providers and health insurance companies. The Company's MedLink Solution enables
the real time automation of routine patient eligibility, verification,
authorizations, claims processing and payment functions. The Company has offices
located in Miami, Florida and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
On March 26, 2008, the Company executed a stock purchase and option agreement
(the "Agreement") with Engetech, Inc., a Turks & Caicos corporation controlled
and owned 20% by Americo de Castro, director and President of Medlink
Conectividade, and 80% by Flavio Gonzalez Duarte (the "Buyer"). In accordance
with the terms and provisions of the Agreement, the Company sold to the Buyer
45% of the total issued and outstanding stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Transax Limited, which owns one hundred percent of the total issued and
outstanding share of: (i) Medlink Conectividade, and (ii) Medlink Technologies,
Inc., ("MTI") a Mauritius corporation (See Note 8).
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The consolidated
financial statements include the Company and its 55% owned subsidiary, Transax
Limited, and Transax Limited's wholly-owned subsidiaries Medlink Conectividade,
and MTI. All significant material intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Management acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the
accompanying interim consolidated financial statements which reflect all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary in
its opinion for a fair statement of its consolidated financial position and the
results of its operations for the interim period presented. These consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of
significant accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial statements
included in the Company's Form 10-KSB annual report for the year ended December
31, 2007.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for
Transax International, Inc. and its subsidiaries have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q
and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Operating results for interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year
as a whole.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2008
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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 dates of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates used in
the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements include
the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, the estimated lives and
recoverable value of property, equipment and software development costs, and the
assumptions used to calculate stock-based compensation and derivative
liabilities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 clarifies the
definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and
establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair
value as follows:
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and
liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar
assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated
by observable market data.
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting
entity's own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would
use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available
information.
The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Company's
fair value measurements. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for
cash, accounts receivable, loans payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses,
and amounts due from related parties approximate their fair market value based
on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company uses level 2 inputs
to value its derivative liabilities (See Note 6 and 7).
In February 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB
Staff Position FAS 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157" ("FSP FAS
157-2"), which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonrecurring
fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and liabilities until fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company has elected to defer the
adoption of the nonrecurring fair value measurement disclosures of nonfinancial
assets and liabilities. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-2 is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial
positions.

TRANSAX INTERNATIONAL LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2008
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations
of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company
performs certain credit evaluation procedures and does not require collateral
for financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company believes that its
credit risk is limited because the Company routinely assesses the financial
strength of its customers, and based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of
its customers, establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts and, as a
consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond
such allowances is limited.
The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful accounts to ensure accounts
receivable are not overstated due to uncollectability and are maintained for all
customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the
receivables are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience.
An additional reserve for individual accounts is recorded when the Company
becomes aware of a customer's inability to meet its financial obligation, such
as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer's
operating results or financial position. If circumstances related to customers
change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables would be further
adjusted. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the allowance for doubtful
accounts was $0.
The Company's principal business activities are located in Brazil. Although
Brazil is considered to be economically and politically stable, it is always
possible that unanticipated events in foreign countries could disrupt the
Company's operations.
The Company had revenues from two major customers during each of the six months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 that accounted for approximately 81%, or $2,595,000
and 90%, or $2,271,000 of the revenues, respectively. For the six months ended
June 30, 2008, these two major customers accounted for 42% and 39% of revenues,
respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, these two major customers
accounted for 47% and 43% of revenues, respectively. At June 30, 2008, the same
major customers accounted for 40% and 39% of the total accounts receivable
balance outstanding, respectively. At December 31, 2007, the same major
customers accounted for 47% and 35%, of the total accounts receivable balance
outstanding, respectively.
The Company maintains its cash in accounts with major financial institutions in
the United States and Brazil. Deposits in these banks may exceed the amounts of
insurance provided on such deposits. As of June 30, 2008, bank deposits in the
United States exceeded federally insured limits by $205,663. At June 30, 2008,
the Company had deposits of $118,201 in banks in Brazil which may not be
insured. Historically, we have not experienced any losses on our deposits of
cash.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had no
cash equivalents at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

TRANSAX INTERNATIONAL LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2008
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment, net is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation and amortization is computed generally by the
straight-line method at rates adequate to allocate the cost of applicable assets
over their estimated useful lives, which range from 2 to 10 years. Expenditures
for maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the
related assets are expensed to operations, while major repairs are capitalized.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed annually for possible impairment, or whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, we compare
the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the future use and
disposal of the related asset or group of assets to their respective carrying
amounts. Impairment, if any, is measured as the excess of the carrying amount
over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted
expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the
determination is made. Management recorded no impairment charges of long-lived
assets during each of the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
Income Taxes
The Company files federal and state income tax returns in the United States for
its domestic operations, and files separate foreign tax returns for the
Company's foreign subsidiaries in the jurisdictions in which those subsidiaries
operate. The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes." Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on differences between the financial statement and tax basis of
assets and liabilities and net operating loss and credit carryforwards using
enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected
to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary,
to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be
realized. If it becomes more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be
used, the related valuation allowance on such assets would be reversed.
Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might
be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax
liability. In management's opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have
been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies
from estimates, additional allowances or reversal of reserves may be necessary.
Under SFAS 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment
date. Due to net operating loss carry forwards available, no provision for
income taxes has been recorded for the U.S. entities for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007. The Company has not recorded any deferred taxes at June
30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

TRANSAX INTERNATIONAL LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2008
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
On January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of the FASB's Interpretation
Number 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of
SFAS Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48") which provides a financial statement
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. Under FIN 48, we may recognize the tax
benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that
the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities,
based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in
the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the
largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon
ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition of income
tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax
assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with
tax positions, and income tax disclosures. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Foreign Currency Translation
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional
currency of the Company is the local currency, the Brazilian Real ("R$").
Results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates
during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange
rate at the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange
rates. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the
local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in
determining comprehensive income. The cumulative translation adjustment and
effect of exchange rate changes on cash for the six months ended June 30, 2008
and 2007 was $35,028 and $2,963, respectively. Transaction gains and losses that
arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency
other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as
incurred.
Asset and liability accounts at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were
translated at 1.5919 R$ to $1.00 and at 1.7713 R$ to $1.00, respectively. Equity
accounts are stated at their historical rate. In accordance with SFAS 95,
"Statement of Cash Flows," cash flows from the Company's operations are
calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rate.
As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement
of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding
balances on the balance sheet.
Transactions and balances originally denominated in U.S. dollars are presented
at their original amounts. Transactions and balances in other currencies are
converted into U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS 52, "Foreign Currency
Translation," and are included in determining net income or loss.
Although the economic situation in Brazil has remained relatively stable in
recent years, a return to higher levels of inflation, and currency fluctuations
volatility could adversely affect the Company's operations. Changes in the
valuation of the Brazilian Real in relation to the U.S. dollar may have
significant effects on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company's revenues, which do not require any significant production,
modification or customization for the Company's targeted customers and do not
have multiple elements, are recognized when (1) persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the Company's fee is fixed
and determinable; and (4) collectability is probable.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Substantially all of the Company's revenues are derived from the processing of
applications by healthcare providers for approval of patients for healthcare
services from insurance carriers. The Company's software or hardware devices
containing the Company's software are installed at the healthcare provider's
location. The Company offers transaction services to authorize and adjudicate
the identity of the patient and obtains "real time" approval for any necessary
medical procedure from the insurance carrier. The Company's transaction-based
solutions provide remote access for healthcare providers to connect with
contracted insurance carriers. Transaction services are provided through
contracts with insurance carriers and others, which specify the services to be
utilized and the markets to be served. The Company's clients are charged for
these services on a per transaction basis. Pricing varies depending on the type
of transactions being processed under the terms of the contract for which
services are provided. Transaction revenues are recognized in the period in
which the transactions are performed.
Accounting for Conversion Features and Warrants issued with Preferred Stock
The Company issued $1,600,000 of convertible Series A preferred stock, which
contained an Embedded Conversion Feature ("ECF") and warrants to purchase common
stock. In accordance with the guidance in paragraph 12 of SFAS 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," it was necessary to evaluate
the conversion option separately from the debt host and account for it
separately as a derivative if the conversion option met certain criteria. The
conversion option met all three criteria of paragraph 12: (1) the conversion
feature is not clearly and closely related to the host component, (2) the
convertible instrument is not accounted for at fair value, and (3) the embedded
conversion option meets the definition of a derivative in paragraph 6 of SFAS
133.
To assess whether or not the ECF would be classified as stockholders' equity if
it were freestanding, management considered the guidance in Emerging Issues Task
Force ("EITF") issue No. 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments
Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock." In assessing
whether or not the conversion option would be classified as equity or a
liability if it were freestanding, management determined whether or not the
Series A convertible preferred stock is considered "conventional". EITF 00-19
and EITF issue No. 05-2, "The Meaning of Conventional Convertible Debt
Instruments in issue No. 00-19," defines conventional convertible debt as debt
whereby the holder will, at the issuer's option, receive a fixed amount of
shares or the equivalent amount of cash as proceeds when the conversion option
is exercised. . Management determined that Series A convertible preferred stock
was not "conventional," and the Company considered all aspects of EITF 00-19,
paragraphs 12-33.
This caused the ECF of the Series A convertible preferred stock to be classified
as a derivative financial instrument under SFAS 133. In addition, all warrants
to purchase common stock issued with the preferred stock were then deemed to be
derivative instruments under SFAS 133. The accounting treatment of derivative
financial instruments requires that the Company record the ECF and warrants at
their fair values as of each reporting date. Any change in fair value is
recorded as a gain or loss from derivative liabilities within the consolidated
statements of operations for all periods presented. The derivatives were valued
using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and are classified in the
consolidated balance sheets as current liabilities at June 30, 2008 and December
31, 2007.

Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the basic income (loss) per
share, while giving effect to all potentially dilutive shares of common stock
that were outstanding during the period, such as common stock issuances that
could result from the exercise or conversion of securities (options or
warrants). The computation of diluted loss per share does not assume conversion,
exercise, or contingent issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive
effect on loss per share (i.e. reducing loss per share). The dilutive effect of
outstanding options and warrants and their equivalents are reflected in dilutive
earnings per share by the application of the treasury stock method which
recognizes the use of proceeds that could be obtained upon the exercise of
options and warrants in computing diluted earnings per share. It assumes that
any proceeds would be used to purchase common stock at the average market price
of the common stock during the period. The following table presents a
reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Stock Based Compensation
The Company adopted SFAS 123R (revised 2004), "Share Based Payment" on a
prospective basis. SFAS 123R establishes the financial accounting and reporting
standards for stock-based compensation plans at fair values. As required by SFAS
123R, the Company recognizes the cost resulting from all stock-based payment
transactions including shares issued under its stock option plans in the
financial statements.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. For the six months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, advertising expense was deemed not material.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company follows SFAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" to recognize the
elements of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is comprised of net
income and all changes to the statements of stockholders' equity, except those
due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions
to stockholders. For the Company, comprehensive income for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007 included net income and foreign currency translation
adjustments only.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. For the six months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, research and development costs were deemed not
material.
New Authoritative Pronouncements
In June 2007, the EITF reached a consensus on issue No. 07-3, "Accounting for
Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to be Used in Future
Research and Development Activities," ("EITF 07-3") which is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. EITF 07-3 requires that
nonrefundable advance payments for future research and development activities be
deferred and capitalized. Such amounts will be recognized as an expense as the
goods are delivered or the related services are performed. It is expected that
adoption of EITF 07-3 will not have a material impact on the Company's results
of operations, financial position or liquidity.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), "Business Combinations", which
replaces SFAS 141. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how
an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable
assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the
acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The Statement also establishes disclosure
requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial
effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 141(R) may have an
impact on accounting for future business combinations once adopted.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, "Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin
No. 51", which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership
interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of
consolidated net earnings attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling
interest, changes in a parent's ownership interest and the valuation of retained
non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The
Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient
disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the
parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has not
determined the effect that the application of SFAS 160 will have on its
financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, "Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". The new standard is intended to improve
financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by
requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand the
effects of those instruments and activities on an entity's financial position,
financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008,
with early application encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of adopting SFAS 161 on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP APB 14-1, "Accounting for Convertible Debt
Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash
Settlement". FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may
be settled in cash upon either mandatory or optional conversion (including
partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No.
14, "Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase
Warrants". Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments
should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner
that will reflect the entity's non-convertible debt borrowing rate when interest
cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008,
and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt FSP APB
14-1 beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, and this standard must be
applied on a retrospective basis. The Company is evaluating the impact the
adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have on its consolidated financial position and
results of operations.
On June 16, 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, "Determining Whether
Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating
Securities," to address the question of whether instruments granted in
share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting.
The FSP determines that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights
to dividend payments should be included in earnings per share calculations. The
guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.
The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of FSP No. EITF 03-6-1 as
well as the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
Since inception, the Company has incurred cumulative net losses of $13,475,019,
and has a stockholders' deficit of $3,479,528 and a working capital deficit of
$4,347,244 at June 30, 2008. Since its inception, the Company has funded
operations through short-term borrowings and equity investments in order to meet
its strategic objectives. The Company's future operations are dependent upon
external funding and its ability to increase revenues and reduce expenses.
Management believes that sufficient funding will be available from additional
related party borrowings and private placements to meet its business objectives,
including anticipated cash needs for working capital, for a reasonable period of
time. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain
sufficient funds to continue the development of its software products and
distribution networks. Further, since fiscal 2000, the Company has been
deficient in the payment of Brazilian payroll taxes and Social Security taxes.
At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, these deficiencies (including interest
and penalties) amounted to approximately $1,448,000 and $1,080,000,
respectively. This payroll liability is included as part of the accounts payable
and accrued expenses (short-term and long-term) within the consolidated balance
sheet. Additionally, the Company sold 45% of it operating subsidiary and the
Buyer has an option to acquire the remaining 55%. Upon the sale of its operating
subsidiary, the Company will have no operating activities. As a result of the
foregoing, there exists substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 4 - SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Under the criteria set forth in SFAS 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed," capitalization of software
development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility of
the software. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing
assessment of the recoverability of these costs require considerable judgment by
management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited
to, anticipated future gross product revenues, estimated economic life, and
changes in software and hardware technology. Capitalized software development
costs are amortized utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated
economic life of the software not to exceed three years. The Company regularly
reviews the carrying value of software development assets and a loss is
recognized when the unamortized costs are deemed unrecoverable based on the
estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software. Capitalized
software development costs consisted of the following at June 30, 2008 and
December 31, 2007:
2008 2007
--------- ---------
Software development costs ..... $ 707,823 $ 707,823

For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, amortization of development
costs amounted to $96,439 and $121,390, respectively, and has been included in
cost of product support services on the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations.
NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Convertible Loan- Related Party
-------------------------------
At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had aggregate loans payable
for $175,000 to a related party company whose officer is an officer of the
Company. In 2005, the Company modified the terms of its convertible loans to
this related party. Under the modified terms, $75,000 of principal due under the
convertible loans was due on March 31, 2007 and the remaining principal of
$100,000 was due on April 30, 2007. These loans are convertible into the
Company's common stock at $0.125 per share. For each share of common stock
received upon conversion of the principal balance, the related party is entitled
to receive one warrant to purchase the Company's common stock at $0.25 per share
for a period of two years from the conversion date. The interest rate of the
loan is 12% per annum compounded monthly. At June 30, 2008 and December 31,
2007, interest due on these two loans amounted to $74,093 and $63,621 and the
aggregate principal amount due is $175,000. During the six months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, the Company incurred $10,471 and $10,414, respectively, in
interest expense related to these two loans. These two loans are in default and
are currently under re-negotiation with the lender.

Loans Payable
-------------
The Company's subsidiary, Medlink Conectividade, has several loans and credit
lines with financial institutions. The loans require monthly installment
payments, bear interest at rates ranging from 30% to 50% per annum, are secured
by certain receivables of Medlink Conectividade, and are due through July 2009.
At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, loans payable to these financial
institutions aggregated $849,529 and $652,804, respectively.
Convertible Debenture Payable
-----------------------------
On April 1, 2005, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with
Scott and Heather Grimes, Joint Tenants - with Rights of Survivorship
("Grimes"). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued
convertible debentures to Grimes in the original principal amount of $250,000.
The debentures were convertible at the holder's option any time up to maturity
at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) 120% of the closing bid price of
the common stock on the date of the debentures or (ii) 80% of the lowest closing
bid price of the common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding
the conversion date. The debentures had a two-year term and accrue interest at
5% per year.
Prior to May 15, 2008, the Company determined that the conversion feature of the
convertible debentures represents an embedded derivative since the debentures
are convertible into a variable number of shares. Accordingly, the convertible
debentures are not considered to be conventional debt under EITF 00-19 and the
embedded conversion feature must be bifurcated from the debt host and accounted
for as a derivative liability. The Company believes that the aforementioned
embedded derivative meets the criteria of SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19, and should be
accounted for as a separate derivative with a corresponding value recorded as a
liability. Accordingly, the fair value of this derivative instrument has been
recorded as a liability on the consolidated balance sheets. The gains and losses
recorded from changes in the fair value of the liability for derivative
contracts has been recorded as a component of other income /(expense) in the
consolidated statements of operations.
At the end of each reporting period and through May 15, 2008, the Company
revalued the convertible feature of these derivative liabilities and the
unexpired warrant. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company
recorded a gain (loss) on valuation of these derivative liability and warrants
of $(41,939) and $66,352, respectively. Amortization of debt discount for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $0 and $31,250, respectively, and is
included in interest expense. Amortization of debt offering costs for the six
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $0 and $4,783, respectively, and is
included in interest expense. At May 15, 2008, pursuant to an agreement, the
convertible debt is payable in cash. Accordingly, the remaining derivative
liability at May 15 , 2008 of $257,058 was reclassified to paid in capital. At
June 30, 2008, the estimated fair values of the convertible feature derivative
liabilities and warrants are $0 and $0, respectively. At December 31, 2007, the
estimated fair values of the convertible feature derivative liabilities and
warrants were $215,119 and $239. These liabilities were reflected as a
conversion feature liability and warrant liability, respectively, on the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 8 - SALE OF MINORITY INTEREST IN SUBSIDIARY
On March 26, 2008, the board of directors of the Company, pursuant to unanimous
written consent resolutions, approved the execution of a stock purchase and
option agreement (the "Agreement") with Engetech, Inc., (the "Buyer"). In
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Agreement, the Company sold to
the Buyer 45% of the total issued and outstanding stock of its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Transax Limited ("Transax Sub"). Transax Sub owns one hundred
percent of the total issued and outstanding shares of: (i) Medlink Conectividade
and (ii) MTI.
The purchase price for the 45%, or 45 shares, ("Initial Shares") is $3,200,000,
$220,000 of which was to have been paid by December 31, 2007 as a deposit. Of
this amount, approximately $188,000 was received by the Company by December 31,
2007 and at December 31, 2007 was reflected as a liability on the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet as a deposit on sale of minority interest. In March
2008, the Company collected an additional $120,000 of the purchase price. The
remaining balance was to be paid as follows i) $32,000 of the initial deposit is
due immediately; ii) $480,000 was due on March 31, 2008 and was paid in May
2008, and iii) the balance of $2,400,000 was due in twelve equal monthly
payments of $200,000 commencing April 2008.

In May 2008, the Agreement was amended. Accordingly, the remaining balance is
due as follows:
May 2008 ........................................ $ 120,000
June 2008 ....................................... 150,000
July 2008 ....................................... 200,000

----------
Total .......................... $2,400,000
==========
Through June 30, 2008, the Company received additional proceeds of $90,000. The
balance due and owing by the Buyer is evidenced by an installment note secured
by a pledge of all of Initial Shares. As of the date of this report, the Buyer
has not paid the remaining initial deposit and is in default on its payments of
principal and interest. At June 30, 2008, pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement, as amended, the Company has a remaining note receivable of $2,341,393
due from the Buyer. Since collection of the remaining purchase price is not
reasonably assured, the Company recorded the full amount of the purchase price
of $3,200,000 as deferred revenue and is reflecting the deferred revenue net of
the remaining note receivable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Accordingly, at June 30, 2008, the Company's consolidated balance sheets reflect
a deferred gain on the sale of minority interest of $858,607, which will be
recognized as other income when collection is reasonably assured and not until
all of the risks and other incidents of ownership have been passed to the buyer.
At June 30, 2008, deferred gain on sale of minority interest consists of the
following:
Sale price of 45% interest in Transax Limited .......... $ 3,200,000
Less: note receivable balance at June 30, 2008 ......... (2,341,393)
-----------
Deferred gain on sale of minority interest in subsidiary $ 858,607
===========
The Buyer has an option to purchase the remaining 55% of Transax Sub. The Option
is exercisable by the Buyer during March and April 2009, subject to shareholder
approval, to acquire the balance of the Company's Medlink Conectividade
operations (and its corresponding debt) by way of acquisition of the remaining
55 shares of the Transax Sub and certain licensing rights for Latin America,
Spain and Portugal in exchange for further payments to the Company of
approximately $2,400,000 in the form of twelve equal monthly payments of
$200,000.
Pursuant to the amended agreement, interest shall accrue at an annual rate of
18% on past due amounts and the Buyer will be in default if payments are more
that 15 days late from the payment due date. Additionally, the Buyer may use
positive cash flows from the Medlink operations to pay down the note receivable
balance, subject to certain restrictions as defined in the amended agreement as
contingent upon the Buyer's exercise of its option to acquire the remaining 55%
of Transax Sub. If the Buyer does not exercise its option to acquire the balance
of 55% of the Transax Sub shares, then the Company would reduce the Buyer's 45%
ownership proportionally by the portion of shares paid by Medlink net income or
the Buyer has a 60-day option to repay the amount due back to Medlink to
maintain a 45% equity interest in Transax Sub.

"Bonus") equal to 50% of the revenues received by Medlink Conectividade
(converted monthly to US Dollars at the monthly average exchange rate as
provided by the Central Bank of Brazil) with respect to transactions in excess
of an aggregate of 678,076 executed during 2008 for Medlink Conectividade's

31, 2009, 25% on July 31, 2009, 25% on August 31, 2009, and 25% on October 31,

to exercise the Option.
Additionally, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Agreement, MTI
shall grant to the Company a perpetual, exclusive and sub-license to use all of
the software and other intellectual property owned by MTI in all territories
other than (i) Latin America (defined as all mainland countries in the Western
Hemisphere south of the USA/Mexico border; and (ii) Spain and Portugal.

including $32,000 from the initial payment due and $580,000 in periodic
payments.

Legal Proceedings
The Company's subsidiary, Medlink Conectividade, is involved litigation
pertaining to a previous provider of consultancy services regarding "breach of
contract" and two labor law suits involving employees for "unfair dismissal'
claims. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company has accrued
approximately $222,000 and $199,000, respectively, related to these lawsuits.
The outcome of these clams is uncertain at this time.
Accrued Taxes and Social Contribution
Since 2000, the Company has been deficient in the payment of Brazilian payroll
taxes and Social Security taxes. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, these
deficiencies, plus interest and penalties, amounted to approximately $1,447,000
and $1,080,000, respectively. This liability is included as part of the accounts
payable and accrued expenses (short-term and long-term) within the consolidated
balance sheet. During years 2006 and 2005, the Company entered into a number of
payment programs with the Brazilian authorities whereby the Social Security
("INSS") taxes due, plus applicable penalties and interests are to be repaid
over a period of up to 60 months. However, there is no certainty that the
Brazilian authorities will enter into similar plans in the future for the
remaining non-negotiated balances due or any future taxes due. The current
portion due, which is included in current liabilities, also includes amounts
whose payment terms have not been negotiated with the Brazilian authorities.

CURRENT BUSINESS OPERATIONS
STOCK PURCHASE AND OPTION AGREEMENT
On March 26, 2008, our board of directors, pursuant to unanimous written consent
resolutions approved the execution of a stock purchase and option agreement (the
"Agreement") with Engetech, Inc., a Turks & Caicos corporation controlled and
20% owned by Americo de Castro, director and President of our subsidiary,
Medlink Conectividade, and 80% owned by Flavio Gonzalez Duarte (the "Buyer"). In
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Agreement, we sold to the Buyer
45% of the total issued and outstanding stock of our wholly-owned subsidiary,
Transax Limited. Transax Limited owns 100% of the total issued and outstanding
shares of: (i) Medlink Conectividade; and (ii) Medlink.
In accordance with further terms and provisions of the Agreement: (i) we sold 45
of the 100 shares of Transax Limited's issued and outstanding (the "Initial
Shares") with an option to purchase the remaining 55 shares of Transax Limited
(the "Option"); and (ii) the Buyer agreed to pay us an aggregate purchase price
of $3,200,000 for the Initial Shares. A total of $865,381 and $187,747 was
received through June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The Company
also has received monies as reimbursement for legal fees which are excluded from
these amounts as they were used to offset the associated expenses. For the six
months ended June 30, 2008, we received $0 of such reimbursement, and a total of
$20,000 of reimbursement was received during the year ended December 31, 2007.
The remaining balance was to be paid as follows i) $32,000 of the initial
deposit is due immediately; ii) $480,000 was due on March 31, 2008 and was paid
in May 2008, and iii) the balance of $2,400,000 was due in twelve equal monthly

Agreement, as amended, the Company has a remaining note receivable of $2,334,619
due from the Buyer. Since collection of the remaining purchase price is not
reasonably assured, the Company recorded the full amount of the purchase price
of $3,200,000 as deferred revenue and is reflecting the deferred revenue net of
the remaining note receivable on the accompanying balance sheets. Accordingly,
at June 30, 2008, the Company's balance sheets reflect a deferred gain on the
sale of $858,607, which will be recognized as other income when collection is
reasonably assured and not until all of the risks and other incidents of
ownership have been passed to the buyer. At June 30, 2008, deferred gain on sale
of minority interest consists of the following:
Sale price of 45% interest in Transax Limited .......... $ 3,200,000
Less: note receivable balance at June 30, 2008 ......... (2,341,393)
-----------
Deferred gain on sale of minority interest in subsidiary $ 858,607
===========
Pursuant to the amended agreement, interest shall accrue at an annual rate of
18% on past due amounts and the Buyer will be in default if payments are more
that 15 days late from the payment due date. Additionally, the Buyer may use
positive cash flows from the Medlink operation to pay down the note receivable
balance, subject to certain restriction as defined in the amended agreement as
contingent upon the Buyer's exercise of its option to acquire the remaining 55%
of Transax Sub. If the Buyer does not exercise its option to acquire the balance
of 55% of the Transax Sun shares, then the Company would reduce the Buyer's 45%
ownership proportionally by the portion of shares paid by Medlink net income or
the Buyer has a 60-day option to repay the amount due back to Medlink to
maintain a 45% equity interest in Transax Sub.
The Buyer has an option to purchase the remaining 55% of Transax Sub. The Option
is exercisable by the Buyer during March and April 2009, subject to shareholder
approval, to acquire the balance of the Company's Medlink Conectividade
operations (and its corresponding debt) by way of acquisition of the remaining
55 shares of the Transax Sub and certain licensing rights for Latin America,
Spain and Portugal in exchange for further payments to the Company of
approximately $2,400,000 in the form of twelve equal monthly payments of
$200,000
In accordance with the further terms and provisions of the Agreement, a
performance bonus shall also be payable by the Buyer to the Company (the
"Bonus") equal to 50% of the revenues received by Medlink Conectividade
(converted monthly to US Dollars at the monthly average exchange rate as
provided by the Central Bank of Brazil) with respect to transactions in excess
of an aggregate of 678,076 executed during 2008 for Medlink Conectividade's
largest customer. The Buyer shall pay the Bonus due as follows: 25% due on May
31, 2009, 25% on July 31, 2009, 25% on August 31, 2009, and 25% on October 31,
2009. The Bonus shall be payable regardless of whether or not the Buyer elects
to exercise the Option.
Additionally, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Agreement, MTI
shall grant to the Company a perpetual, exclusive and sub-license to use all of
the software and other intellectual property owned by MTI in all territories
other than (i) Latin America (defined as all mainland countries in the Western
Hemisphere south of the USA/Mexico border; and (ii) Spain and Portugal.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Buyer has not paid $32,000 of
initial deposit.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Preparing
financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These
estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting
policies. Critical accounting policies for Transax International Limited include
the following:
Impairment - We review the carrying value of property and equipment for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, or, at least annually.
Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by the comparison of the
carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is
expected to generate, which is used to estimate the fair value. If such assets
are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by
the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its
fair market value.
Software Development Costs - Under the criteria set forth in Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 86, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed", capitalization of
software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological
feasibility of the software. The establishment of technological feasibility and
the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs require considerable
judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but
not limited to, anticipated future gross product revenues, estimated economic
life, and changes in software and hardware technology. Capitalized software
development costs are amortized utilizing the straight-line method over the
estimated economic life of the software not to exceed three years. We regularly
review the carrying value of software development assets and a loss is
recognized when the unamortized costs are deemed unrecoverable based on the
estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software.
Accounting for Stock Based Compensation - We have adopted SFAS 123(R), "Share
Based Payment". SFAS 123(R) establishes the financial accounting and reporting
standards for stock-based compensation plans. As required by SFAS 123(R), we
recognize the cost resulting from all stock-based payment transactions
including, shares issued under our stock option plans, in the financial
statements over the term of the services being rendered to the Company.
Revenue Recognition - Our revenues, from agreements which do not require any
significant production, modification or customization for the Company's targeted
customers and that do not have multiple elements, are recognized when (1)
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the
Company's fee is fixed and determinable, and; (4) collectability is probable.
Substantially all of our revenues are derived from the processing of
applications by healthcare providers for approval of healthcare services for
patients from insurance carriers. Our software, or hardware devices containing
our software, are installed at the healthcare provider's location. We offer
transaction services to authorize and adjudicate identity of the patient and
obtain "real time" approval for any necessary medical procedure from the
insurance carrier. Our transaction-based solutions provide remote access for
healthcare providers to connect with contracted insurance carriers. Transaction
services are provided through contracts with insurance carriers and others,
which specify the services to be utilized and the markets to be served. Our
clients are charged for these services on a per transaction basis. Pricing
varies depending on the type of transactions being processed under the terms of
the contract for which services are provided. Transaction revenues are
recognized in the period in which the transactions are performed.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115," under which entities will now be permitted to measure many
financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value on
an instrument-by-instrument basis. This Statement is effective as of the
beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.
Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on
or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the
provisions of SFAS 157. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a material effect
on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), "Business Combinations" and SFAS
160, "Accounting and Reporting of Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51".." These two standards must be
adopted in conjunction with each other on a prospective basis. The most
significant changes to business combination accounting pursuant to SFAS 141R and
SFAS 160 are the following: (a) recognize, with certain exceptions, 100 percent
of the fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling
interests in acquisitions of less than a 100 percent controlling interest when
the acquisition constitutes a change in control of the acquired entity, (b)
acquirers' shares issued in consideration for a business combination will be
measured at fair value on the closing date, not the announcement date, (c)
recognize contingent consideration arrangements at their acquisition date fair
values, with subsequent changes in fair value generally reflected in earnings,
(d) the expensing of all transaction costs as incurred and most restructuring
costs, (e) recognition of pre-acquisition loss and gain contingencies at their
acquisition date fair values, with certain exceptions, (f) capitalization of
acquired in-process research and development rather than expense recognition,
(g) earn-out arrangements may be required to be re-measured at fair value and
(h) recognize changes that result from a business combination transaction in an
acquirer's existing income tax valuation allowances and tax uncertainty accruals
as adjustments to income tax expense. The Company anticipates these new
standards will significantly affect our accounting for future business
combinations following adoption on January 1, 2009.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007
Our net loss for the six-months ended June 30, 2008 was $161,584 compared to net
income of $212,302 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 (a decrease of
$373,886 or 176.1%).
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, we generated $3,211,956 in
revenues compared to $2,523,902 in revenues generated during the six-month
period ended June 30, 2007 (an increase of $608,054 or 27.26%). The increase in
revenues is due to the continued installation of our software and/or hardware
devices containing our software at the healthcare providers' locations in
Brazil. Upon installation, we begin the processing of applications submitted by
healthcare providers for approval of patients for healthcare services from the
insurance carrier. We charge for these services on a per transaction basis.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, we incurred operating expenses
in the aggregate amount of $3,188,138 compared to $2,456,641 incurred during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2007 (an increase of $731,497 or 29.78%). The
increase in operating expenses incurred during the six-month period ended June
30, 2008 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 resulted from: (i)
an increase of $139,762 or 14.56% in cost of product support services resulting
from the increase in revenues; (ii) an increase of $377,408 or 87.11 % in
31
compensation and related benefits associated with the increased operations of
our MedLink operations; (iii) a decrease of $1,299 or 1.67% based on a decrease
in the amount of professional fees incurred; (iv) a decrease of $58,226 or 27.4%
in management and consulting fees-related parties due to a decrease in use of
certain management and a director/consultant needed to handle our operations;
(v) a decrease in investor relations of $18,278 or 100.0% in investor relations;
(vi) an increase of $6,508 or 3.90% in depreciation and amortization; and (vii)
an increase of $285,622 or 48.7% in general and administrative expenses
primarily resulting from an increase in operating costs associated with our
increased business revenues in 2008.
We reported income from operations of $23,818 during the six-month period ended
June 30, 2008 as compared to $67,261 during the six-month period ended June 30,
2007 due to the factors previously discussed.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, we incurred other expense of
($87,268), compared to other income of $145,041 during the six-month period
ended June 30, 2007 (an decrease of $232,309 or 160.2%). The variance change
during for six-month period ended June 30, 2008, compared to the six-month
period ended June 30, 2007 resulted primarily from the six-month period change
in the fair value of the Company's derivative liabilities positions of $211,642
gain in 2008, as compared to 2007 ($407,398 gain). This change is related to the
classification of the embedded conversion feature and related warrants issued in
connection with our Series A Preferred Stock and debenture payable as derivative
instruments.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, our loss before income taxes was
$63,450 compared to income before taxes of $212,302 for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2007. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, we
recorded a tax provision of $98,134 for Brazilian income taxes (2007: $-0-),
resulting in a net loss of $161,584 compared to net income of $212,302.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, we recorded a deemed and
cumulative preferred stock dividend of $51,920 compared to $56,000 during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2007, which related to our cumulative dividends
on the Series A Preferred Stock.
We reported net loss attributable to common shareholders of ($213,504) during
the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to net income attributable
to common shareholders of $156,302 during the six-month period ended June 30,
2007. This translates to an overall loss per-share available to shareholders of
$0.01 and $0.00 for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we recorded an
unrealized foreign currency translation gain of $244,452 compared to an a loss
of $147,381, respectively. This resulted in comprehensive income during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2008 of $82,868 compared to $64,921 at June 30,
2007.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2008, our current assets were $1,560,077 and our current
liabilities were $5,907,321, which resulted in a working capital deficit of
$4,347,244. As of June 30, 2008, our total assets were $2,691,076 consisting of:
(i) $423,864 in cash; (ii) $446,600 in prepaid expenses and other current
assets; (iii) $689,613 in accounts receivable; (iv) $250,624 in net software
development costs; (v) $877,765 in net property and equipment; and (vii) $2,610
in other assets. As at June 30, 2008, our total assets were $2,691,076 compared
to $2,050,863 at December 31, 2007.
32
As of June 30, 2008, our total liabilities were $6,170,604 consisting of: (i)
$2,557,647 in long-term and current portion of accounts payable and accrued
expenses; (ii) $311,449 due to related parties; (iii) $249,093 in convertible
loan to related party; (iv) $317,346 in loan payable to related party; (v)
$949,529 in long-term and current portion of loans and convertible debentures
payable; (vi) $17,402 in warrant liability; (vii) $909,531 in convertible
feature liability and (viii) $858,607 in deferred gain on sale of minority
interest in subsidiary. As at June 30, 2008, our total liabilities were
$6,170,604 compared to $5,907,918 at December 31, 2007. The increase in total
liabilities is due primarily to an increase in deferred gain on the sale of our
subsidiary offset by the decrease in our derivative liabilities.
Stockholders' deficit decreased from $3,857,055 at December 31, 2007 to
$3,479,528 at June 30, 2008.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, net cash flow used in operating
activities was ($549,879) compared to net cash provided by operating activities
of $269,257 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The change in cash
flows provided by operating activities is principally due an increase in
accounts receivable of $70,788 and of $118,870 in prepaid expenses and other
current assets as well as an increase in cash used to reduce accounts payable
and accrued expenses, to fund out net loss, and to reduce due to related
parties.
Net cash flows provided by investing activities amounted to $772,568 for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to net cash used in investing
activities of ($155,744) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. During
the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, we received proceeds of $978,607 from
the sale of a minority interest ownership in Transax Limited offset by the
acquisition of property and equipment of $206,039. During the six-month period
ended June 30, 2007, we capitalized software development costs of $155,744.
Net cash flows used in financing activities for the six-month period ended June
30, 2008 were ($9,791) compared to ($163,273) for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2007, resulting primarily from repayment of convertible debt.
PLAN OF OPERATION
Since our inception, we have funded operations through short-term borrowings and
equity investments in order to meet our strategic objectives. Our future
operations are dependent upon external funding and our ability to increase
revenues and reduce expenses. Management believes that sufficient funding will
be available from additional related party borrowings and private placements to
meet our business objectives including anticipated cash needs for working
capital, for a reasonable period of time. However, there can be no assurance
that we will be able to obtain sufficient funds to continue the development of
our software products and distribution networks.
YA GLOBAL INVESTMENTS ("YA GLOBAL")
On January 13, 2006, we entered into an Investment Agreement with YA Global
(collectively, the "Parties"), pursuant to which we sold YA Global up to 16,000
shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value, (the "Series A
Preferred Shares") for a total price of up to $1,600,000. The Series A Preferred
Shares shall be convertible, at YA Global's discretion, into shares of our
common stock..
Of the 16,000 Series A Preferred Shares to be sold to YA Global, 8,000 Series A
Preferred Shares had a purchase price of $800,000, which consisted of $255,237
from the surrender of a pre-existing promissory note (as described below) and
$544,763 of new funding of which we received net proceeds of $495,734 after the
payment of placement fees of $49,029. Additionally, we paid approximately
$25,000 in legal fees with the proceeds of this financing. On May 8, 2006, we
sold the remaining 8,000 shares of Series A Preferred Shares to YA Global for
the purchase price of $800,000 and received net proceeds of $728,000 (net of
placement fees of $72,000).
33
In connection with the Investment Agreement, the Parties entered into an
Investor Registration Rights Agreement (the "IRRA"), dated January 13, 2006,
pursuant to which the Parties agreed that, in the event the Registration
Statement is not filed within thirty (30) days from the date we file our Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 (the "Filing
Deadline") or is not declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission within ninety (90) days of the date of the IRRA (the "Effective
Deadline"), or if after the Registration Statement had been declared effective
by the Securities and Exchange Commission, sales cannot be made pursuant to the
Registration Statement, then as relief for the damages to any holder of
Registrable Securities (as defined in the IRRA) by reason of any such delay in
or reduction of its ability to sell the underlying shares of common stock (which
remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies at law or in equity), we
would pay as liquidated damages to the holder, at the holder's option, either a
cash amount or shares of our common stock equal to two percent (2%) of the
Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Certificate of Designation of Series A
Convertible Preferred Shares) outstanding as liquidated damages for each thirty
(30) day period or any part thereof after the Filing Deadline or the Effective
Deadline as the case may be. Any liquidated damages payable hereunder shall not
limit, prohibit or preclude the holder from seeking any other remedy available
to it under contract, at law or in equity. We shall pay any liquidated damages
hereunder within three (3) business days of the holder making written demand. It
shall also become an event of default under the IRRA if the Registration
Statement is not declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission
within one-hundred twenty (120) days from the date of the IRRA. We initially
filed our Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
May 9, 2006. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Registration Statement
has not been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We do
not have any intent to re-file our registration statement. In 2006, pursuant to
FASB Staff Position, or FSP, EITF 00-19-2, "Accounting for Registration Payment
Arrangements", the Company recorded a registration rights penalty expense of
$160,000 that is included in accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet. Based on management's analysis, the Company does not believe that
any additional penalty is due under the Investor Registration Rights Agreement.
In connection with the sale of the Series A Preferred Shares, on January 13,
2006, the Parties agreed that YA Global will surrender the promissory note
issued by us to YA Global on May 17, 2005, in the principal amount of $255,237,
in exchange for $255,237 of Series A Preferred Shares. As of January 13, 2006,
the full amount outstanding under the Promissory Note was $255,237, plus accrued
and unpaid interest of $0. As a result of the Parties' agreement, the Promissory
Note was retired and canceled. The Parties also agreed to terminate the
Securities Purchase Agreement and the Investor Registration Rights Agreement,
each dated as of October 25, 2004, as well as the Pledge and Escrow Agreements,
each dated as of October 21, 2004, that were entered into by the Parties in
connection with the issuance of the promissory note.
Certain negative covenants in the Investment Agreement could substantially
impact our ability to raise funds from alternative sources in the future. For
example, so long as any Series A Preferred Shares are outstanding, we shall not,
without the prior written consent of YA Global (a) directly or indirectly
consummate any merger, reorganization, restructuring, reverse stock split
consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets or any similar
transaction or related transactions; (b) incur any indebtedness for borrowed
money or become a guarantor or otherwise contingently liable for any such
indebtedness except for trade payables or purchase money obligations incurred in
the ordinary course of business; (c) file any other registration statements on
any form (including but not limited to forms S-1, SB-2, S-3 and S-8); (d) issue
or sell shares of common stock or preferred stock without consideration or for a
consideration per share less than the bid price of the common stock determined
immediately prior to its issuance or issue any preferred stock, warrant, option,
right, contract, call, or other security or instrument granting the holder
thereof the right to acquire common stock without consideration or for a
consideration per share less than the bid price of the common stock determined
immediately prior to the issuance of such convertible security or (e) enter into
any security instrument granting the holder a security interest in any and all
of our assets.
34
On January 13, 2006, we also issued to YA Global warrants to purchase up to
5,000,000 shares of our common stock. The first warrant issued to YA Global
exercisable for 2,500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.30
per share shall terminate after the five (5) year anniversary of the date of
issuance. The second warrant issued to YA Global exercisable for 2,500,000
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share shall terminate
after the five (5) year anniversary of the date of issuance.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, we issued 8,916,563 shares of
our common stock to YA Global in connection with the conversion of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock. Subsequent to the six-month period ended June 30,
2008, we issued a further 4,168,622 shares of our common stock to YA Global. See
"Part II. Item 1. Unregistered Sales of Securities and Use of Proceeds.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there is substantial doubt regarding
our ability to continue as a going concern as we have not generated sufficient
cash flow to fund our business operations and material commitments. Our future
success and viability, therefore, are dependent upon our ability to consummate
the sale of our subsidiary, Medlink Connectividade and to subsequently further
develop, provide and market our information network solutions to healthcare
providers, health insurance companies and other end-users, and the continuing
ability to generate capital financing. We are optimistic that we will be
successful in our business operations and capital raising efforts; however,
there can be no assurance that we will be successful in generating revenue or
raising additional capital. The failure to generate sufficient revenues or raise
additional capital may have a material and adverse effect upon us and our
shareholders.
We anticipate an increase in operating expenses over the next three years to pay
costs associated with such business operations. We may need to raise additional
funds. We may finance these expenses with further issuances of our common stock.
We believe that any anticipated private placements of equity capital and debt
financing, if successful, may be adequate to fund our operations over the next
twelve months. Thereafter, we expect we will need to raise additional capital to
meet long-term operating requirements. If we raise additional funds through the
issuance of equity or convertible debt securities other than to current
shareholders, the percentage ownership of our current shareholders would be
reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior
to our existing common stock. In addition, additional financing may not be
available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available,
or are not available with acceptable terms, we may not be able to conduct our
business operations successfully. This eventuality could significantly and
materially restrict our overall business operations.
Based upon a twelve (12) month work plan proposed by management, it is
anticipated that such a work plan would require approximately $1,000,000 to
$3,000,000 of financing designed to fund various commitments and business
operations.
In April 2005, we entered into a financing agreement with Scott and Heather
Grimes, Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship (the "Investor"). Under the
terms of the financing arrangement with the Investor, we issued convertible
debentures to the Investor in the original principal amount of $250,000. The
debentures are convertible at the Investor's option any time up to maturity at a
conversion price equal to the lower of: (i) 120% of the closing bid price of our
common stock on the date of the debentures, or (ii) 80% of the lowest closing
bid price of our common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding
the conversion date. The debentures have a two-year term and accrue interest at
5% per year. At maturity, the debentures will automatically convert into shares
of our common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of: (i) 120% of the
closing bid price of our common stock on the date of the debentures, or (ii) 80%
of the lowest closing bid price on our common stock for five trading days
35
immediately preceding the conversion date. On July 13, 2006, the Investor
converted $15,000 of the Debenture into 104,167 shares of our common stock and
on October 31, 2006, the Investor converted $10,000 of the debenture into
151,515 shares of our common stock. On May 15, 2008, we entered into an
agreement with Scott and Heather Grimes to repay the outstanding convertible
debenture payable and any unpaid interest and fees as follows: (i) $106,902 on
May 16, 2008; (ii) $100,000 on June 16, 2008; and (iii) $100,000 on July 16,
2008.
We believe that we can satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve (12)
months based on our ability to consummate the sale of our subsidiary, Medlink
Connectividade, and to enter into additional financing arrangements as
necessary. Our future success and viability are primarily dependent upon our
current management to generate revenues from business operations and raise
additional capital through further private offerings of our stock or loans from
private investors. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to
raise additional capital. Our failure to successfully raise additional capital
will have a material and adverse affect upon us and our shareholders.
MATERIAL COMMITMENTS
CONVERTIBLE LOANS - RELATED PARTY
A significant material liability for us at June 30, 2008 is the aggregate
principal amount of $175,000 and $74,093 in accrued interest due and owing to a
related party in accordance with two convertible promissory notes (collectively,
the "Convertible Promissory Note(s)"). The Convertible Promissory Notes were due
on April 30, 2007 and convertible into shares of our common stock at $0.125 per
shares together with a warrant per share to purchase our common stock at $0.25
per share for a period of two years. As at June 30, 2008, an aggregate principal
amount of $175,000 and interest in the amount of $74,093 remains due and owing
under the Convertible Promissory Notes. As of the date of this Quarterly Report,

with the lender.
LOAN - RELATED PARTY
A significant material liability for us at June 30, 2008 is the aggregate amount

six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we incurred $12,554 and $14,343,
respectively, in interest related to these loans. At June 30, 2008 and December
31, 2007, $55,646 and $43,091 in interest and loan fees was accrued on these

ACCRUED TAXES AND RELATED EXPENSES
A significant and estimated material liability for us for fiscal year 2008 is
the amount due and owing for Brazilian payroll taxes and Social Security taxes.
At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, these deficiencies, plus interest and
penalties, amounted to approximately $1,448,000 and $1,080,000, respectively.
Effective April 1, 2004, we entered into a payment program with the Brazilian
authorities whereby the Social Security ("INSS") taxes due and applicable
penalties and interests will be repaid over a period of up to sixty months. At
June 30, 2008, approximately $1,418 of our INSS and other taxes are to be repaid
within a 12 month period. At June 30, 2008, the future payments due to the
Brazilian authorities are as follows: (i) 2009 - $1,418,456; (ii) 2010 -
$29,251.
MEDLINK CONNECTIVIDADE LOAN PAYABLE AND OTHER LOANS PAYABLE
At June 30, 2008, significant liabilities for us are the several loans and
credit lines with financial institutions in Brazil and a $100,000 loan
outstanding related to our previous outstanding convertible debt. The Brazil
loans require monthly installment payments, bear interest at rates ranging from
30% to 50% per annum, are secured by certain receivables of Medlink
Connectividade, and are due through July 2009. As at June 30, 2008 and December
31, 2007, the loans payable to these financial institutions and others
aggregated $949,529 and $652,804, respectively.
PURCHASE OF SIGNIFICANT EQUIPMENT
We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment during the next twelve
months.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we do not have any off-balance sheet
arrangements that have or are reasonably like to have a current or future effect
on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or
expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital
resources that are material to investors. The term "off-balance sheet
arrangement" generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual
arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we
have: (i) any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative
instrument or variable interest; or (ii) a retained or contingent interest in
assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit,
liquidity or market risk support for such assets.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position,
results of operations or cash flows due to adverse change in foreign currency
and interest rates.
EXCHANGE RATE
Our reporting currency is United States Dollars ("USD"). The Brazilian Real is
the functional currency of our subsidiary. The fluctuation of exchange rates of
the Real may have positive or negative impacts on our results of operations.
However, since all revenue and expenses of our subsidiary company is denominated
in Real, the net income effect of appreciation and devaluation of the currency
against the US Dollar will be limited to the net operating results of the
subsidiary company attributable to us.
37
INTEREST RATE AND INFLATION
Interest rates in Brazil were unstable and Brazil has suffered from very high
inflation rates during the 1980s, which led the country to change currency
several times. Since 1994, inflation has been maintained at normalized levels
(2003: consumer prices rose by about 8%; in 2008, the inflation target is around
9%), and the Brazilian citizen has had the opportunity for the first time in a
long period to get accustomed to a stable currency. Any loans in Brazil would
relate mainly to trade payables and would be short-term. However, were interest
rates to rise, any debt incurred in Brazil could have a significant impact on
our operating and financing activities.
We have not entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or
for speculative purposes.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures" as such term is defined in Rule
13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In designing and evaluating
our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that
disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated,
can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of
disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing
disclosure controls and procedures, our management was necessarily required to
apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible
disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and
procedures is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood
of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in
achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial
Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based
on such evaluation, and as described in greater detail below, our CEO and CFO
have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective:
o to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be
disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's
rules and forms, and
o to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that
we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Securities Exchange Act. Our management is also required to assess and
report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in
accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("Section 404").
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of June 30, 2008. In making this assessment, we used the criteria
38
set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. During our
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as
of June 30, 2008, management identified significant deficiencies related to (i)
the U.S. GAAP expertise of our internal accounting staff, (ii) our internal
audit functions; (iii) the absence of an Audit Committee as of June 30, 2008,
and (iv) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions.
We began preparing to be in compliance with the internal control obligations,
including Section 404, for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. Our
internal accounting staff was primarily engaged in ensuring compliance with
Brazil's accounting and reporting requirements for our operating subsidiary and
their U.S. GAAP knowledge was limited. As a result, the majority of our internal
accounting staff, on a consolidated basis, is relatively inexperienced with U.S.
GAAP and the related internal control procedures required of U.S. public
companies. Although our accounting staff is professional and experienced in
accounting requirements and procedures generally accepted in Brazil, management
has determined that they require additional training and assistance in U.S. GAAP
matters. Management has determined that our internal audit function is also
significantly deficient due to insufficient qualified resources to perform
internal audit functions. Finally, management determined that the lack of an
Audit Committee of our Board of Directors also contributed to insufficient
oversight of our accounting and audit functions.
In order to correct the foregoing weaknesses, we have taken the following
remediation measures:
o We have committed to the establishment of effective internal audit
functions, however, due to the scarcity of qualified candidates with
extensive experience in U.S. GAAP reporting and accounting in Brazil,
we were not able to hire sufficient internal audit resources before
June 30 ,, 2008. However, we will increase our search for qualified
candidates with assistance from recruiters and through referrals.
o We will consider searching for independent directors, with one
qualified to serve on an audit committee to be established by our Board
of Directors and we anticipate that our Board of Directors will also
establish a compensation committee to be headed by one of the
independent directors.
Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always
be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent
possible, we will implement procedures to assure that the initiation of
transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be
performed by separate individuals.
We believe that the foregoing steps will remediate the significant deficiencies
identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these
steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate. Due to the
nature of these significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial
reporting, there is a remote likelihood that misstatements which could be
material to our annual or interim financial statements could occur that would
not be prevented or detected.
A material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5) is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial
reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis. 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.
39
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting
may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting
during first half of our fiscal year that has materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we have not appointed members to an
audit committee and, therefore, the respective role of an audit committee has
been conducted by our Board of Directors. When established, the audit
committee's primary function will be to provide advice with respect to our
financial matters and to assist our Board of Directors in fulfilling its
oversight responsibilities regarding finance, accounting, tax and legal
compliance. The audit committee's primary duties and responsibilities will be
to: (i) serve as an independent and objective party to monitor our financial
reporting process and internal control system; (ii) review and appraise the
audit efforts of our independent accountants; (iii) evaluate our quarterly
financial performance as well as its compliance with laws and regulations; (iv)
oversee management's establishment and enforcement of financial policies and
business practices; and (v) provide an open avenue of communication among the
independent accountants, management and our Board.
Our Board has considered whether the regulatory provision of non-audit services
is compatible with maintaining the principal independent accountant's
independence.
AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, our Board has determined that we do not
have an audit committee financial expert nor do we have an audit committee.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Our subsidiary, Medlink Connectividade, is involved in litigation pertaining to
a previous provider of consultant services regarding "breach of contract" and

$199,000, respectively, related to these lawsuits. The outcome of these claims
is uncertain at this time.
Management is not aware of any other legal proceedings contemplated by any
governmental authority or any other party involving us or our properties. As of

us in any legal proceedings. Management is not aware of any other legal
proceedings pending or that have been threatened against us or our properties.
