NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INTERIM PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements represent the financial position
of MedCom USA, Inc. ("Company") as of September 30, 2002 and includes results
of operations of the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and
cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2002. These statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and the instructions for Form 10-QSB.
Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments to these unaudited
financial statements necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the
interim period presented have been made. The results for the three months ended
September 30, 2002 may not necessarily be indicative of the results for the
entire fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2002, including
specifically the financial statements and notes to such financial statements
contained therein.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies followed by the Company, and the methods of applying
those policies, which affect the determination of its financial position,
results of operations or cash flows are summarized below:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
Cash and cash equivalents include all short-term liquid investments that are
readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of
three months or less. At times cash deposits may exceed government insured
limits.
Concentration of Credit Risk
----------------------------
The Company maintains its operating cash balances in banks in Islandia, New
York, and in Scottsdale, Arizona. The Federal Depository Insurance Corporation
(FDIC) insures accounts at each institution up to $100,000.
Inventories
-----------
Inventories consist primarily of processing terminals that deploy the MedCard
system, and terminals and spare parts that are held for sale. Also, included in
inventories are movie videocassettes that remain from a discontinued segment of
business. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out
basis) or market (net realizable value). Rapid technological change and new
product introductions and enhancements could result in excess or obsolete
inventory. To minimize this risk, the Company evaluates inventory levels and
expected usage on a periodic basis and records adjustments as required.
Property and Equipment
----------------------
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
lives of the assets ranging from 3 to 5 years.
The Company's leaseback transactions of processing terminals to healthcare
providers are generally for a period of 48 months. Depreciation expense for the
leased terminal assets are on the straight-line method over the term of the
lease in amounts necessary to reduce the carrying amount of the terminal asset.
Estimated and actual residual values are reviewed on a regular basis to
determine that depreciation amounts are appropriate. Depreciation expense
relating to leased terminal assets was $108,584 for the three months ended
September 30, 2002.
Assets Held under Capital Leases
--------------------------------
Assets held under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the net present
value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased asset at the
inception of the lease. Amortization expense is computed using the straight-line
method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the
period of the related lease.
Amortization of Leasehold Improvements
--------------------------------------
Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line
method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful
lives of the improvements.
Revenue Recognition
-------------------
Sales Revenues: The Company's sales revenues are derived from the sale of
processing terminals, computer equipment and other items and are recognized upon
shipment. Revenues from the licensing of equipment software are recognized upon
acceptance by customers, if the license agreement includes such an acceptance
provision, otherwise it is recognized upon shipment.
Service Fee Revenues: Revenue related to the processing of insurance eligibility
verification and medical claim processing is recorded at the time the
transaction is completed. Financial transactions involve approvals of credit
card and debit card payments from the use of processing terminals or personal
computers and are recorded at the time the transactions are completed.
Deferred Gains on Sale Leasebacks: Gains related to processing terminal
equipment sales in the form of sale-leaseback transactions are amortized
generally over the lease term of 48 months and are recognized proportionately
over the lease term. Gains are initially realized when terminals are sold to a
third party that finances the terminals used by the Company's customers through
the sale leaseback with the Company. The Company purchases the terminals from a
supplier and when the Company enters into a service agreement with a customer,
the customer may rent the terminal from the Company. When the customer rents
the terminal, the Company generally will sell that terminal to the third party
leasing company and in turn leases back that terminal.
Comprehensive Income
--------------------
Comprehensive income consists of net income and other gains and losses affecting
shareholders' equity that, under generally accepted accounting principles, are
excluded from net income. For the Company, such items consist primarily of
foreign currency translation gains and losses.
Income Taxes
------------
The Company provides for income taxes based on the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which,
among other things, requires that recognition of deferred income taxes be
measured by the provisions of enacted tax laws.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities or a
change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that includes the
enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the
period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components
of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as
current and non-current based on their characteristics.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
-----------------------------------
Financial instruments consist primarily of accounts receivable, and obligations
under accounts payable, accrued expenses, capital lease obligations and notes
payable. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued
expenses and notes payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity
of those instruments. The carrying value of the Company's capital lease
arrangements approximates fair value because the instruments were valued at the
cost of the equipment at the time the Company entered into the arrangements. The
Company has applied certain assumptions in estimating these fair values. The use
of different assumptions or methodologies may have a material effect on the
estimates of fair values.
Net Loss Per Share
------------------
Net loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the year. The Company has adopted the provisions
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share.
Use of Estimates
----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions.
This may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Stock-Based Compensation
------------------------
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, ("SFAS 123") established accounting and disclosure requirements
using a fair-value based method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation. In accordance with SFAS 123, the Company has elected to continue
accounting for stock based compensation using the intrinsic value method
prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees."
Intangible Assets
-----------------
Intangible assets at September 30, 2002 consist of goodwill associated with the
Company's acquisition of MedCard, and the difference between the purchase price
of the acquired business and the fair value of the identifiable net assets.
Research and Development Expenditures
-------------------------------------
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Impairment of Assets
--------------------
The Company performs an assessment of impairment of long-lived assets
periodically whenever there is an indication that the carrying amount of the
asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by
comparing the forecasted undiscounted cash flows generated by those assets to
the assets' net carrying value. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is
measured as the difference between the net book value of the assets and the
estimated fair value of the related assets.
Reclassifications
-----------------
Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements for the
three months ended September 30, 2002, to conform with the presentation for
accounts in the September 30, 2001 financial statements.
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Except for historical information contained herein, the following
discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,
statements regarding future events and plans and expectations. Actual results
could differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or
contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed
elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB (incorporated herein Forward-Looking Statements).
OVERVIEW
MedCom USA, Inc.(the "Company") a Delaware corporation was formed in August
1991 under the name Sims Communications, Inc. The Company's primary business was
providing telecommunications services. In 1996 the Company introduced four
programs to broaden the Company's product and service mix: (a) cellular
telephone activation, (b) sale of prepaid calling cards, (c) sale of long
distance telephone service and (d) rental of cellular telephones using an
overnight courier service. With the exception of the sale of prepaid calling
cards, these four programs were discontinued in December 1997. During the fiscal
year of 1998, the Company diversified its operations and moved into the area of
medical information processing.
The Company changed its name to MedCom USA, Inc. in October 1999. During
the fiscal years of 1999 and continuing through 2000, the Company directed its
efforts in medical information processing. As of September 30, 2002, the Company
currently operates the MedCard System (MedCard) that is deployed through a
point-of-sale terminal or personal computer offering electronic transaction
processing, as well as insurance eligibility verification. The Company has
aggressively focused on its primary operations in Electronic Data Interchange
(EDI) and core business in electronic Medical Transaction Processing.
MEDICAL TRANSACTION PROCESSING
------------------------------
MEDCARD SYSTEM
The Company provides innovative technology-based solutions for the
healthcare industry that enable users to efficiently collect, utilize, analyze
and disseminate data from payers, health care providers and patients. The
MedCard System currently operates through a point-of-sale terminal or a personal
computer. The point-of-sale terminals are purchased from Hypercom Corporation
(Hypercom). The MedCard System also operates in a PC version and an on-line
version is under development. The Company is in the process of assessing the
feasibility of offering a service bundled package that would include an on-line
enabled computer that has the capability of processing unlimited claims and
eligibility verification for monthly fees. This application and service
offering will be made available after the on-line version is complete.
FINANCIAL SERVICES
The Company's credit card center and check services, provides the
healthcare industry an unprecedented combination of services designed to improve
collection and approvals of credit/debit card payments along with the added
benefit and convenience of personal check guarantee from financial institutions.
Flex-pay is an accounts receivable management program that allows a
provider to swipe a patient's credit card and store the patient's signature in
the terminals, and bill the patient's card at a later date when it is determined
what services rendered were not covered by the patient's insurance. Also, an
easy-pay option is offered which allows patient's the added benefit and
convenience of a one-time payment option or a recurring installment payments
that will be processed on a specified date determined by the provider and
patient. These options insure providers that payments are timely processed with
the features of electronic accounts receivable management. These services are
all deployed thorough point-of-sale terminals or a personal computer. Using the
MedCard system, medical providers are relieved of the problems associated with
billings and account management, and results in lower administrative
documentation and costs.
PATIENT ELIGIBILITY
The MedCard System is also an electronic processing system that
consolidates insurance eligibility verification, processes medical claims, and
monitors referrals. The MedCard System allows a patient's primary care
physician to request approval from the patient's insurance carrier or managed
care plan for a referral to a secondary physician or specialist. The secondary
physician or specialist can use the MedCard system to verify referrals are
approved by the patient's insurance carrier. The MedCard system's referral
capabilities reduce documentation and administrative costs which results in
increased productivity and greater patient information for the specialist, as
well as a written record of the referral authorization.
The MedCard System can record and track encounters between patients and health
care providers for performance evaluation and maintenance of records. After
examining a patient the physician enters a patient's name, procedure code and
diagnostic code at a nearby terminal. This information is then uploaded to
MedCom's computer network, processed and transmitted back to the provider
formatted in both summary and/or detailed reports, and as a result healthcare
providers' reimbursements are accelerated and account receivables are reduced.
The average time it takes the healthcare providers to collect payments from
insurance carriers and plans decreases from an average of 89 days to 7 to 21
days. Health care providers will benefit from a 100% paperless claim processing
system.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT ASSISTANCE
The Company offers multiple training options for its products and
services and is easily accessed at www.Medcard.com. The online E-learning tools
---------------
enable health care professionals and health providers an opportunity to
familiarize themselves with the H.I.P.A.A. (Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act) mandates and compliance issues. Onsite training and
teleconferencing, and technical support assistance are also features offered to
health care providers. Also, a 24-hour terminal replacement program and system
upgrades are offered.
MARKETING STRATEGY
MedCard's marketing plan is built around a strategy of expanding its sales
capacity by using experienced external Independent Sales Organizations (ISO) and
putting less reliance on an internal sales force. MedCom has set-up these
Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs) to market and distribute the MedCard
System throughout the U.S. Currently, there are 16 active ISOs promoting the
MedCard system, with an average ISO that contains approximately 10 Sales people,
some selling the MedCard System exclusively. Financial service companies
comprise an important sales channel that views the healthcare industry as an
important growth opportunity. Only 6% of all healthcare payments are made with
a credit card today, although according to a recent survey 55% of all consumers
would prefer to pay doctor and hospital visits by credit/debit card.
SERVICE AGREEMENTS
During September 1998, the Company entered into a service agreement with
WebMD Envoy. This agreement encompasses the process of Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI) and related services. The services provided are complimentary
to the Company's core business, and accomplishes transaction processing services
that allows healthcare providers and payers to process medical transactions
quickly and accurately, and results in reduced administrative costs and an
increase in healthcare reimbursements to healthcare providers.
During January 2002, the Company has entered into a service agreement with
MedUnite. This strategic alliance will encompass the utilization of proprietary
technologies and will enhance the existing network of healthcare constituents.
Strategically both companies share the same vision of transforming the
healthcare transactions systems affecting how healthcare providers, health
plans, and other groups transacting business with one another by significantly
reducing claim and payment processing time, and reducing healthcare
administrative costs.
PROCESSING TERMINAL LEASING AGREEMENTS
The Company has entered into leasing agreements with LADCO Financial
Group for the purpose of leasing processing terminals. The Company has pledged
and granted for collateral in connection with the lease agreements one million
restricted common shares. These common shares would be surrendered upon default
of the leasing agreements. This pledge and granting of security interest was
executed on January 3, 2002.
The Company has arranged its terms with this credit facility as an
equipment lessor whereby the Company sells terminals to the lessor when it has
obtained a service contract with a provider. Under these agreements, the
Company is leasing back the processing terminals from the lessor and in turn
leases them to the purchaser for a period of 48 months however; the customer may
terminate the agreement after 12 months. The Company is accounting for the
transactions as sale-leasebacks. The leases with the customers are inclusive
with the monthly service contracts and are effectively accounted for as
operating leases. Gains on terminal sales under sale-leaseback transactions are
deferred and are being amortized to income in proportion to amortization of the
assets, generally over the term of the lease with the credit facility generally
for a period of 48 months. At September 30, 2002, the remaining deferred
equipment gain of $1,272,409 is shown as "Deferred Revenue" in the Company's
Balance Sheet. For the three months ended September 30, 2002, the total
interest expense incurred by the Company under these leases was $43,626.
REVENUES
Revenues from the MedCard system are generated through the sale of
terminals, and processing insurance eligibility/verification, insurance claims,
and financial transaction processing. The Company receives a fixed amount per
terminal, and also receives fees for each transaction processed through the
MedCard System. Revenue sources include fees for financial transactions
processed through the terminal, fees for collection of receivables if the
Company provides billing services, fees associated with reimbursements made by
insurance carriers for submitting claims that are processed electronically, fees
for using the system's referral program and, fees for processing uploaded data.
The Company also markets a complete billing service using the MedCard System for
hospitals and large practice groups. The Company receives a percentage of the
billing amount collected under these arrangements.

-------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 were $306,149 as compared to
the quarter ended September 30, 2001 of $121,872. The Company has divested of
all its business segments other than the MedCard business, which it intends to
devote it full resources. Revenues are primarily derived from monthly service
fees collected and revenues related to the leasing of terminal assets.
Cost of sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 was $31,542 as compared
to quarter ended September 30, 2001 of $13,073. Margins have increased as the
Company's sales and service offerings have increased in the area of medical
transaction processing.
Selling expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 was $165,892 as
compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2001 of $442. This increase in
expenses is directly attributed to the Company's aggressive marketing and
outside sales organizations that market the Company's equipment and services.
General and administrative expenses for quarter ended September 30, 2002 was
$803,727 as compared to quarter ended September 30, 2001 of $786,174. These
expenses have slightly increased as promotional efforts to market and secure
outside sales personnel to promote and sale the Company's equipment and
services.
Interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 was $44,126 as
compared to quarter ended September 30, 2001 of $7,376. Interest expense
increased as a result of an increased volume of leased terminal assets by the
Company.
No tax benefit was recorded on the expected operating loss for the quarter ended
September 30, 2002 as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. For the quarter ended we do not expect to
realize a deferred tax asset and it is uncertain, therefore we have provided a
100% valuation of the tax benefit and assets until we are certain to experience
net profits in the future to fully realize the tax benefit and tax assets.
Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 was ($977,139) compared net
loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 of ($1,024,885).
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2002,
was ($587,483) as compared to cash used in operating activities for the three
months ended September 30, 2001 of ($303,102). The Company has significantly
reduced its operating cash requirements as streamlining of operations and cost
curtailment measures were implemented and adhered to.
Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2002,
was ($763,279) as compared to cash used in investing activities for the three
months ended September 30, 2001 of ($32,000). There were significant terminal
equipment sales-leaseback transactions for the leasing of terminal assets during
the period ended September 30, 2002.
Cash provided in financing activities was $1,325,946 for the three months ended
September 30, 2002 compared to cash provided from financing activities for the
three months ended September 30, 2001 of $356,678. The Company has financed its
equipment though the sales-leasebacking of terminals and as a result has
increased its debt obligations.
SOURCES OF CAPITAL
The Company has relied upon a significant shareholder to fund its operating
cash flow deficiencies since June 30, 2001. Presently, this funding is
accomplished in the form of loans to the Company. Management believes that
current trends in its electronic transaction processing to the health care
industries will provide positive cash flow in the near fiscal period to be
self-sustaining from operations. The amount of such will be dependent upon the
rate of growth experienced and demand for the Company's product and services.
As noted above, the Company has secured an arrangement with a third party
leasing company to provide funds upon the execution of a rental and service
agreement with a customer. Generally, the health care provider customer will
enter into an agreement with the Company to rent a terminal and subscribe to the
transaction processing and insurance verification service. At that time, the
Company will sell the terminal associated with the service contract to the
lessor and then leaseback that terminal. The leasing transactions provide for
funding to the Company to cover its cost of the terminal, placement of the
terminal with the customer and a profit margin. The Company is generally
required to pay the lease rentals to the lessor over a 48-month period. The
source of funds for those repayments is the rental payments from the health care
provider customer.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
There are numerous factors that affect our business and the results of its
operations. Sources of these factors include general economic and business
conditions, federal and state regulation of business activities, the level of
demand for the Company's product or services, the level and intensity of
competition in the medical transaction processing industry and the pricing
pressures that may result, the Company's ability to develop new services based
on new or evolving technology and the market's acceptance of those new services,
the Company's ability to timely and effectively manage periodic product
transitions, the services, customer and geographic sales mix of any particular
period, and the ability to continue to improve the infrastructure (including
personnel and systems) to keep pace with the growth in its overall business
activities.
