PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
Business
Global Med Technologies, Inc. (Global Med or the Company) provides information management software products and services to the health care industry. Wyndgate operates as a division of Global Med and designs, develops, markets and supports information management software products for blood banks, hospitals, centralized transfusion centers and other healthcare related facilities. Our PeopleMed subsidiary offers chronic disease management as an Application Service Provider (ASP). PeopleMeds system uses the internet to coordinate sources and users of a patients clinical information, including laboratory, pharmacy, primary and specialty care providers, claims and medical records. PeopleMed earns revenues primarily by providing ongoing ASP services. PeopleMeds revenues were not significant during the three or twelve months ended December 31, 2004.
Global Med has two main products in its Wyndgate division: SafeTrace® and SafeTrace Tx®. SafeTrace is used by blood centers and hospitals to track blood donations. SafeTrace Tx is used primarily by hospitals and centralized transfusion centers to help insure the quality of blood transfused into patient-recipients. Both products are designed to help the users comply with quality and safety standards of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the collection and management of blood and blood products. Our Wyndgate division earns revenues primarily through the sale of software licenses, implementation of the software systems sold, and by providing maintenance for the SafeTrace and SafeTrace Tx software systems. During the three months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, Wyndgates revenues represented 98% and 96%, respectively, of Global Meds total revenues. During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, Wyndgates revenues represented 97% and 93%, respectively, of Global Meds total revenues. During these periods, PeopleMeds revenues represented the remainder.
The decision to purchase a new blood bank system is driven in large part by one or all of the following: replacing antiquated technology, upgrading the laboratory information system (LIS) of the hospital which typically includes the purchase of a blood bank system, and replacing existing products that have been sunsetted. We believe that because the purchase of an LIS by a hospital is a significant driver in the decision to purchase a blood bank system, Global Med is heavily reliant on its relationships with its channel partners that sell their LIS systems in combination with Global Meds blood bank products. The Companys channel partner relationships are more fully discussed in the BUSINESS section Royalty and Commission Agreements.
Entities that plan to purchase blood bank products primarily have two choices:
o | Upgrade their current system with their existing vendor, or |
o | Select a replacement system from an alternative vendor. |
Global Meds two primary locations are in Lakewood, Colorado, the corporate headquarters, and El Dorado Hills, California, our primary operations, which include research and development, implementation staff, support services, and certain administrative staff. Approximately 20% of our employees are not located in Lakewood, Colorado or El Dorado Hills, California. These employees provide support for Global Meds sales and marketing, research and development, and implementation efforts.
Management of Global Med is focused on increasing its revenues and cash flows through direct sales efforts, increasing its marketing footprint through adding additional channel partners and strategic alliances, and developing new products and enhanced functionality to its existing product mix to attract potential customers.
The Offering
On March 16, 2005, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the Common Stock Purchase Agreement) with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC, pursuant to which Fusion Capital has agreed to purchase, on each trading day, $12,500 of our common stock up to an aggregate, under certain conditions, of $8.0 million. At our discretion, we may elect to sell more of our common stock to Fusion Capital than the minimum daily amount. Fusion Capital, one of the selling stockholders under this prospectus, is offering for sale up to 11,023,631 shares of our common stock. As of March 4, 2005, there were 27,672,056 shares outstanding, including 486,816 shares that we have issued to Fusion Capital as compensation for its purchase commitment and 50 thousand shares we issued to Fusion Capital as reimbursement for expenses in connection with the transaction. Up to 39,700,698 shares of our common stock are being offered by other selling stockholders of the Company.
The 50,724,329 shares offered by this Prospectus represents approximately 85.6% of our total outstanding common stock as of March 16, 2005. The number of shares ultimately offered for sale by Fusion Capital is dependent upon the number of shares sold by the Company to Fusion Capital under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below before purchasing our common stock. Our most significant risks and uncertainties are described below; however, they are not the only risks we face. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, or results or operations could be materially adversely affected, the trading of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment therein. You should acquire shares of our common stock only if you can afford to lose your entire investment.
We Have Significant Operating Losses, A Net Working Capital Deficit And Cumulative Net Losses; We May Not Be Able To Generate Sufficient Revenues To Operate Profitably In The Future Or To Pay Our Debts And Liabilities As They Become Due
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, we incurred a net loss of approximately $766 thousand, $878 thousand, and $705 thousand respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2004, the Company had net income of $153 thousand. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 we incurred a net loss from operations of $582 thousand. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, we incurred a loss from operations of $303 thousand. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, we had income from operations of approximately $16 thousand. As of December 31, 2004, and December 31, 2003 we had a net working capital deficit of approximately $1.452 million and $1.574 million respectively, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $40.967 million and $39.722 million respectively. Therefore, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenues to operate profitably in the future or to pay our debts and liabilities as they become due and may be forced to curtail or cease our business operations.
We May Not Achieve Profitability Or Positive Cash Flows Operations And May Be Required To Reduce Our Software Development Programs And Operating Expenses
We may generate positive cash flows from operations and negative cash flows from investing activities through 2005 on an annual basis and possibly thereafter, but we may not achieve profitability during this time. Additional external funding may be required in order for us to pay off our outstanding debt and the redeemable preferred stock when it becomes due or redeemable at the holders option, respectively, on March 1, 2006. In addition, our Series AA Preferred Stock requires significant dividend payments in 2005 that could require us to obtain additional financing. In the event we are unable to acquire additional external financing, we could be required to substantially reduce our software development programs and/or substantially reduce our other operating expenses.
We Have Experienced Significant Revenue Fluctuations
We have experienced revenue fluctuations from our SafeTrace and SafeTrace Tx products. SafeTrace and SafeTrace Tx license fees have historically been recognized as revenue upon delivery of the software if no significant vendor obligations exist as of the delivery date. Therefore, revenue fluctuations are affected by delays of the delivery service and customer delayed delivery requests. Revenue fluctuations could also be affected by the decision on whether or not to recognize revenues based upon the length of time the licensees take to implement SafeTrace and SafeTrace Tx. The typical implementation cycle of Wyndgates software products currently is taking approximately 12-15 months. Implementation cycles are dependent on various items, including the blood centers size and the complexity of the blood centers standard operating procedures. Further, special development projects required by customers, concurrent with the licensing of our software products, and other significant obligations, could result in revenue recognition delays. Additionally, the development and marketing of new software products may cause difficulties in accurately anticipating implementation and development schedules, future revenues, expenses, financial condition and net cash flows. In the event we experience any of these difficulties, we could be forced to curtail or cease our business operations.
3
The Sale Of Our Common Stock To Fusion Capital May Cause Dilution And The Sale Of The Shares Of Common Stock Acquired By Fusion Capital Could Cause The Price Of Our Common Stock To Decline
The purchase price for the common stock to be issued to Fusion Capital pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement will fluctuate based on the price of our common stock. All shares issued to Fusion Capital will be freely tradable.Fusion Capital may sell some or all of the shares purchased from us at any time. The common shares sold to Fusion Capital could be sold over a period of up to 32 months from the date of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. Our common stock is thinly traded, trading an average of approximately 17 thousand shares a day over the last year. Thinly traded stock can be more volatile than common stock traded in an active market. Our common stock could experience significant price and volume fluctuations, especially as Fusion Capital sells shares of our common stock purchased from us pursuant to the daily sales under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. During the past year the price of our common stock has traded between $0.38 and $2.57 per share. Further, each daily sale of our common stock to Fusion Capital pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement could make a subsequent days sale to Fusion Capital a more dilutive to existing stockholders by decreasing the price of the common stock for the subsequent days sale. This dilutive effect may cause us not to be able to draw down the entire $8 million under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement with the 10 million shares of common stock we are registering in the accompanying registration statement under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement The sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock by Fusion Capital, or anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.
We May Require Additional Financing To Sustain Our Operations And Without It We May Not Be Able To Continue Operations
At December 31, 2004, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $1.452 million. For the three months ended December 31, 2004, we had positive cash flows from operations of $492 thousand. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, our operations provided operating cash of $256 thousand, $24 thousand, and $547 thousand, respectively. The Company believes that its current customer base and projected backlog of business as well as sales to new customers will be sufficient to fund operations, and we likely will generate positive cash flows from operations and negative cash flows from investing activities through 2005 on an annual basis and possibly thereafter, but we may not achieve profitability during this period or anytime in the foreseeable future, if ever. The Companys cash flows from operations have funded the operations of the Company since 2001 and we expect to be able to fund operating activities in the near term, additional external funding may be required in order for the Company to pay off its outstanding debt and the redeemable preferred stock when it becomes due or redeemable at the holders option, respectively, on March 1, 2006. In addition, the Companys Series AA Preferred Stock requires significant dividend payments in 2005 that could require the Company to obtain additional financing. In the event we are unable to require additional external financing, we could be required to substantially reduce our software development programs and/or substantially reduce our other operating expenses.
We have the right to receive $12,500 per trading day under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement unless our stock price equals or exceeds $0.85, in which case the daily amount may be increased under certain conditions as the price of our common stock increases. Fusion Capital will not have the right nor the obligation to purchase any shares of common stock on any trading days that the market price of the common stock is less than $0.20 per common share. The selling price of our common stock to Fusion Capital will have to average at least $0.80 per share for us to receive the maximum proceeds of $8 million without registering additional shares of common stock in a new registration statement. Assuming a purchase price of $2.26 per share (the closing sale price of the common stock on March 4, 2005), we would sell 3,539,823 shares of common stock to Fusion Capital in order to obtain the full $8 million. Each daily sale of our common stock to Fusion Capital pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement could make a subsequent days sale to Fusion Capital more dilutive to existing stockholders by decreasing the price of the common stock for the subsequent days sale. This dilutive effect may cause us not to be able to draw down the entire $8 million under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement with the 10 million shares of common stock we are registering in this registration statement under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.
In the event we desire to draw down any available amounts remaining under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement after we have issued the 10 million shares being registered in the accompanying registration statement, we will have to file a new registration statement to cover such additional shares that we would issue for additional sales to Fusion Capital. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Fusion Capital may not own more than 9.9% of our outstanding shares of common stock. In the event Fusion Capital is unable to sell the shares of our common stock that are issued after we receive an advance in order to keep them below 9.9% beneficial ownership, we may not be able to draw down additional funds when needed under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement and we may not be able to draw down the full $8 million under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. The extent to which we rely on Fusion Capital as a source of funding will depend on a number of factors including, the prevailing market price of our common stock and the extent to which we are able to secure working capital from other sources. If obtaining sufficient financing from Fusion Capital were to prove prohibitively expensive and if we are unable to commercialize and sell the products or technologies of our subsidiaries, we will need to secure another source of funding in order to satisfy our working capital needs. Even if we are able to access the funds available under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, we may still need additional capital to fully implement our business and operating plans. Additional financing could be prohibitively expensive due to the possibility of reduced investor confidence generally in the financial markets and in technology companies. Should the financing we require to sustain our working capital needs be unavailable, or prohibitively expensive when we require it, we would be forced to curtail or cease our business operations.

Existing
Shareholders Will Experience Significant Dilution From Our Sale Of Shares Under The
Common StockPurchase
Agreement With Fusion Capital And Any Other Equity Financing
The sale of shares pursuant to our agreement with Fusion Capital or any other future equity financing transaction will have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. As a result, our net income or loss per share could decrease in future periods, and the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price is, the more shares of common stock we will have to issue under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Fusion Capital in order to draw down the full amount. If our stock price is lower, then our existing stockholders would experience greater dilution. We cannot predict the actual number of shares of common stock that will be issued pursuant to the agreement with Fusion Capital or any other future equity financing transaction, in part, because the purchase price of the shares will fluctuate based on prevailing market conditions and we do not know the exact amount of funds we will need.
Our Business And Our Software Products Are Subject To Substantial Competition
There is substantial competition in all aspects of the blood bank and hospital information management industry. Numerous companies are developing technologies and marketing products and services in the healthcare information management area. Many competitors in the blood bank industry have received FDA clearance for their products. Many of these competitors have been in business longer and have substantially greater personnel and financial resources than Global Med. Global Med is aware of three primary competitors to our SafeTrace software product: Mak-System Corp.; Blood Bank Computer Systems, Inc. and Mediware Information Systems, Inc. There are five primary competitors in the United States to our SafeTrace Tx product: Misys Hospital Systems, Inc. (Misys is a channel partner that currently resells the Companys SafeTrace software); Mediware Information Systems, Inc.; Meditech, Inc., SCC Soft Computer; and Cerner Corp. Global Med believes it is able to compete based on the current technological capabilities of SafeTrace and SafeTrace Tx.
If We Are Unable To Acquire Or Maintain A Technological Advantage, Or If We Fail To Stay Current And Evolve In The Applications Software And Information Management Fields, We May Not Be Successful
The market for applications software is characterized by rapidly changing technology and by changes from mainframe to client/server computer technology, including frequent new product introductions and technological enhancements in the applications software business. During the last ten years, the use of computer technology in the information management industry has expanded significantly to create intense competition. With rapidly expanding technology and our limited resources, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to acquire or maintain any technological advantage. Our success will be in large part dependent on our ability to use developing technology to our maximum advantage and to remain competitive in price and product performance. If we are unable to acquire or maintain a technological advantage, or if we fail to stay current and evolve in the applications software and information management fields, we may be forced to curtail or cease our business operations.
We Are Dependent On The Development Of New Business
To execute our plan of operations, which includes the generation of increased revenues, we must expand our operations significantly beyond our historical operations to other markets that require similar management information services. However, we may not be able to successfully expand our business operations. Our current activities in the blood bank industry do not assure future business expansion, profitability or long-term and sustainable success. In the event we fail to successfully implement our business plan, we could be forced to curtail or cease our business operations.
5
Our Success Depends In Part On Our Ability To Obtain And Enforce Intellectual Property Rights And Licenses For Our Technology And Software
Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain and enforce intellectual property rights for our technology and software, both in the United States and in other countries. Our proprietary software is protected by the use of copyrights, trademarks, confidentiality agreements and license agreements that restrict the unauthorized distribution of our proprietary data and limit our software products to the customers internal use only. In addition, our SafeTrace Tx product has three patents pending. While we have attempted to limit unauthorized use of our software products or the dissemination of our proprietary information, we may not be able to retain our proprietary software rights and prohibit the unauthorized use of proprietary information. Any patents, copyrights, or trademarks we have or may obtain may not be sufficiently broad to protect our products, may be subject to challenge, invalidated or circumvented and may not provide competitive advantages. In addition, our competitors may independently develop technologies or products that are substantially equivalent or superior. If our software products infringe upon the rights of others, we may be subject to suit for damages or an injunction to cease the use of such products. Our industry is characterized by frequent intellectual property litigation based on allegations of infringement of intellectual property rights. Although we are not aware of any intellectual property claims against us, we may be a party to litigation in the future.
Our success will also depend in part on our ability to develop commercially viable products without infringing the proprietary rights of others. We have not conducted freedom of use patent searches and patents may exist or could be filed which would have an adverse effect on our ability to market our products or maintain our competition position with respect to our products.
We Are Subject To Potential Under-Capitalization And Limitations With Respect To Personnel, Financial And Other Resources, And May Encounter Difficulty Licensing SafeTrace or SafeTrace Tx To A Sufficient Number Of Additional Customers Necessary To Achieve Profitability. In Addition, We May Encounter Difficulty Developing And Licensing New Products
Although we have been in existence since 1989, we are subject to potential under-capitalization, limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources, and have limited customers and revenues. We had positive cash flows from operations for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002. Although we believe that we will be able to fund our operations internally for the near term, in the event we encounter difficulty attracting new customers for our licensed products, our operations may not be able to fund the development of new products, or our current level of operations. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the development and marketing of new software products and related services. In the event we are unable to fund our operations or the development of new products, we could be forced to curtail or cease our business operations.
We May Have Difficulties Managing Our Business In The Event Of Rapid Growth That Could Materially Adversely Affect Our Business, Financial Condition And Results Of Operations
Our future success will depend to a significant extent on the ability of our current and future management personnel to operate effectively, both independently and as a group. In order to compete successfully against current and future competitors, to timely complete research and development projects and to develop future products, we must continue to expand our operations, particularly in the areas of research and development, sales and marketing and training. If we experience significant growth in the future, such growth would likely place significant strain upon our management, operating and financial systems and other resources. To accommodate such growth and compete effectively, we must continue to implement and improve our information systems, procedures and controls, and to expand, train, motivate and manage our work force. Any failure to implement and improve our operational, financial and management systems or to expand, train, motivate or manage our work force could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, which could force us to curtail or cease our business operations.
6
We May Experience A Change In Our Board of Directors
Pursuant to our various financing agreements with Global Med International Limited (GMIL) and its affiliates, China Credit Holdings Limited (China Credit), formerly Heng Fung, has appointed the following five directors to our Board of Directors: Fai H. Chan, Robert L. Trapp, Kwok Jen Fong, Gary L. Cook, and Tony T.W. Chan. In addition, pursuant to these financing agreements, certain members of our Board of Directors were required to execute and deliver resignation letters to China Credit, which letters are being held in escrow pending any default under the terms of the financing agreements.
Failure To Comply With Governmental Regulations And Requirements Could Preclude Us From Continuing To Market Our Existing Products Or Introducing New Products On A Commercial Basis And Materially Adversely Affect Our Business, Financial Condition And Results Of Operations
Our SafeTrace and SafeTrace Tx products and services are subject to regulations adopted by governmental authorities, including the Food and Drug Administration, which govern blood center computer software products regulated as medical devices. Compliance with government regulations can be burdensome and may result in our incurring product development delays and substantial costs. In addition, modifications to such regulations could materially adversely affect the timing and cost of new products and services we introduce. We cannot predict the effect of possible future legislation and regulation. We also are required to follow applicable Good Manufacturing Practices regulations of the FDA, which include testing, control and documentation requirements, as well as similar requirements in other countries, including International Standards Organization 9001 standards. Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could result in, among other things, operating and marketing restrictions and fines, and could force us to curtail or cease our business operations.
We Have Limited Sales, Marketing And Distribution Systems
We currently market SafeTrace and SafeTrace Tx through a small direct sales force, both in the U.S. and internationally. We have entered into various strategic business alliances to assist us in national and international sales, marketing and distribution. However, there can be no assurance that any business alliance will be successful or will continue. Our business strategy for marketing and selling our products and services is two tiered:
o | The first tier is comprised of direct selling to customers through Global Meds internal sales force, and |
o | The second tier is focused on marketing and selling indirectly through channel partner agreements with companies that are established in blood donor and hospital markets. |
These strategic alliances that are facilitated through the channel partner agreements assist us in selling our products nationally and may assist us in selling our products internationally. Our ability to increase future revenues is highly dependent upon these strategic alliances, and our ability to make further inroads in selling our products directly to potential customers. In addition, our success is dependent upon the ability of our marketing partners to sell their complementary products in conjunction with Global Meds products. In the event we fail to maintain and further develop our strategic alliances, we could be forced to curtail or cease our business operations.
We May Lose Software Licenses If We Fail To Meet Maintenance Service Requirements
Our current software license agreements are typically a perpetual term. In addition to the software license, customers can obtain software maintenance for a separate fee. These maintenance agreements range in term from single year to multi-year agreements. Maintenance consists of product bug fixes, continued regulatory compliance, and product updates. During the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003, and 2004, recurring maintenance fees represented a significant portion of the Companys total revenues for the year. However, if we fail to able to continue to meet these maintenance commitments, a significant portion of our revenues could be at risk and we could be forced to curtail or cease our business operations.
7
We May Have Product Liability And Reporting Liability Exposure
We have product liability exposure for defects in our products that may become apparent through widespread use of our products. To date, we have not had any claims filed against us involving our products and we are not aware of any material problems with them. While we will continue to attempt to take appropriate precautions, we may not be able to completely avoid product liability exposure. We maintain product liability insurance on a claims made basis for our products in the aggregate of at least $4 million. Although we have had a history of being able to obtain such coverage at reasonable prices, such coverage may not be available in the future, or at reasonable prices, or in amounts adequate to cover any product liabilities that we may incur.
Our Common Stock Is Deemed To Be "Penny Stock," Subject To Special Requirements And Conditions, And May Not Be A Suitable Investment
Our common stock is deemed to be penny stock as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Penny stocks are stocks:
o | With a price of less than $5.00 per share; |
o | That are not traded on a recognized national exchange; |
o | Whose prices are not quoted on the Nasdaq automated quotation system (Nasdaq listed stock must still have a price of not less than $5.00 per share); or |
o | In issuers with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $5.0 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the last three years. |
Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover, broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to resell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our stock price to decline.
We Rely On Management, The Loss Of Whose Services Could Have A Material Adverse Effect Upon Our Business
We rely principally upon the services of our Board of Directors, senior executive management, and certain key employees, the loss of whose services could have a material adverse effect upon our business and prospects. Competition for appropriately qualified personnel is intense. Our ability to attract and retain highly qualified senior management and technical research and development personnel are believed to be an important element of our future success. Our failure to attract and retain such personnel may, among other things, limit the rate at which we can expand operations and achieve profitability. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain senior management and key employees having competency in those substantive areas deemed important to the successful implementation of our plans and the inability to do so or any difficulties encountered by management in establishing effective working relationships among them may adversely affect our business and prospects. Currently, we do not carry key person life insurance for any of our directors, executive management, or key employees.

Our Officers
And Directors Are Able To Substantially Influence All Matters Requiring Approval By OurShareholders,
Including The Election Of Directors
As of February 28, 2005, our officers and directors beneficially own approximately 48.1% of our outstanding common stock, in addition, certain directors through their affiliation with our majority shareholder, GMIL, control 3.5 million shares of Series AA Preferred Stock with one voting right per share. The Series AA Preferred Stock shares are required to vote together and not as separate classes on any matter submitted to the shareholders or required to be submitted. With the addition of the Series AA Preferred Stock shares, the directors and officers beneficially control 53.9% of the voting shares of Global Med and are able to substantially influence all matters requiring approval by our shareholders, including the election of directors. Our Articles of Incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors and, therefore, although they are able to vote, our other shareholders should not expect to be able to elect any directors to our Board of Directors.
If Our Majority Shareholder And Its Affiliates Convert Or Exercise Their Derivative Securities To Or For Shares Of Our Common Stock, The Ownership Of Our Present Shareholders Could Be Significantly Diluted
Our majority shareholder, GMIL, and its affiliates currently own approximately 11.2 million shares of our common stock and derivative securities convertible or exercisable for another 20 million shares of our common stock, all of which shares of common stock are being registered in the accompanying registration statement. If GMIL and its affiliates convert or exercise their derivative securities to or for shares of our common stock, the ownership of our present shareholders could be significantly diluted.
The Existence Of Severance Payment Provisions And The Large Number Of Common Shares And Derivative Securities Outstanding Could Have The Effect Of Delaying, Deferring, Preventing Or Limiting The Price Paid To Shareholders In A Change In Control
We have employment agreements with certain of our officers and employees which provide for payment of salaries, benefits and incentives for periods ranging from three (3) to twenty-four (24) months, or the remainder of their employment contract, whichever is less. At current salary levels, the total amounts payable under these employment contracts for salary payments to them over their severance payment period could be up to $1.3 million and in addition, we could be required to make benefits payments of approximately $162 thousand at their current benefit levels if we terminate their employment for any reason, other than for cause or disability. In addition, GMIL and its affiliates currently own approximately 11.2 million shares of our common stock and derivative securities convertible or exercisable for another 20 million shares of our common stock. The existence of the severance payment provisions and the large number of common shares and derivative securities outstanding owned by GMIL increases the likelihood that a potential purchaser would seek to negotiate directly with our Board of Directors or GMIL, in order to obtain control, rather than approaching our shareholders as a group. All of the foregoing could have the effect of delaying, deferring, preventing or limiting the price paid to shareholders in a change in control.
Our Issuance Of Additional Shares Of Stock May Cause Dilution To The Ownership Of Our Shareholders And Could Discourage, Delay, Prevent Or Limit The Price Paid To Shareholders In A Change In Control
We have a total of 90 million shares of common stock and 10 million shares of preferred stock authorized for future issuance under our Articles of Incorporation. As of March 4, 2005, we had 27,672,056 shares of our common stock outstanding.
We have approximately 21,066,730 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance upon the conversion or exercise of outstanding derivative securities which include the Series AA Preferred Stock and warrants. There are approximately 9,129,442 securities common shares reserved for issuance related to outstanding stock options. In addition, there are approximately 8.058 million common shares reserved for issuance under our stock option and stock compensation plans related to options and stock compensation shares that have not been granted or issued, respectively. In addition, we have entered into a Common Stock Purchase whereby Fusion Capital has agreed to purchase, on each trading day, $12.5 thousand of our common stock up to an aggregate of $8 million under certain conditions. The purchase price for the common stock to be issued to Fusion Capital pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement will fluctuate based on the price of our common stock. The conversion or exercise of these outstanding derivative securities, and the sale of our common stock to Fusion Capital, will cause dilution to the ownership of our shareholders.
9
The remaining shares of our common and preferred stock not issued or reserved for specific purposes may be issued without any action or approval of our shareholders. Our Board of Directors may issue additional shares of preferred stock without shareholder approval on such terms as the Board may determine. The rights of the holders of common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. Although we have no existing agreements involving the issuance of such shares, we may undertake to issue such shares if we deem it appropriate. Any such issuances could discourage, delay, prevent or limit the price paid to shareholders in a change in control, and could dilute the ownership of our shareholders.
The Market Price Of Our Common Stock Is Highly Volatile
The market price of our common stock has been and is expected to continue to be highly volatile. Factors, including announcements of technological innovations by us or other companies, regulatory matters, new or existing products or procedures, concerns about our financial position, operating results, litigation, government regulation, developments or disputes relating to agreements, patents or proprietary rights, among other items, may have a significant impact on the market price of our stock.
The Selling Security Holders Sale Of The Shares Of Commons Stock In This Offering Could Cause The Price Of Our Common Stock To Decline And Could Make It More Difficult For Us To Sell Equity Or Equity Related Securities In The Future
The potential dilutive effects of future sales of shares of common stock and shares of common stock underlying preferred stock and warrants by selling security holders pursuant to this prospectus could have an adverse effect on the prices of our securities. All shares in this offering are freely tradable. The selling security holders may sell none, some or all of their shares of common stock in this offering. Depending upon market liquidity at the time, a sale of shares under this offering at any given time could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline. The sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock under this offering, or anticipation of such sales, also could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.
We Do Not Anticipate Paying Any Dividends On Our Common Stock
We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. We expect that future earnings, if any, will be used to finance growth and pay dividends on our Series AA Preferred Stock, and retiring our Series AA Preferred Stock and paying off our outstanding debt.

USE OF PROCEEDS
This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by selling stockholders. We will receive no proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock in this offering. However, we may receive up to an available $8 million in proceeds from the sale of our common stock to Fusion Capital under the $8 million Common Stock Purchase Agreement. Any proceeds from Fusion Capital we receive under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement will be used first to redeem our Series AA Preferred Stock then pay down our outstanding related party debt, then for working capital and general corporate purposes. On March 4, 2005, the closing sale price of our common stock was $2.26.
DIVIDEND POLICY
Common Stock
We have never declared or paid dividends on our common stock. Our dividend practices are determined by our Board of Directors and may be changed from time to time. We will base any issuance of dividends upon our earnings (if any), financial condition, capital requirements, acquisition strategies, and other factors considered important by our Board of Directors. Colorado law and our articles of incorporation do not require our Board of Directors to declare dividends on our common stock. We expect to retain any earnings generated by our operations for the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any dividends to our common stockholders for the foreseeable future.
Preferred Stock
The Company has 3.5 million shares of Series AA Preferred Stock that are outstanding as of December 31, 2004. The Company is required to pay mandatory cash dividends on these preferred shares. The Company is required to pay dividends on these outstanding preferred shares based on their $3.5 million value. The current dividend rate is 15% per year, and this rate increases to 21% beginning on March 1, 2005. See the notes to the audited consolidated financials statements for further discussion.

MANAGEMENTS
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISOF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. In addition, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors including, but not limited to, those discussed in Risk Factors, Forward Looking Statements and elsewhere in this prospectus.
GENERAL
The Company designs, develops, markets and supports information management software products for blood banks, hospitals, centralized transfusion centers and other health care related facilities. Revenues for Wyndgate are derived from the licensing of software, the provision of consulting and other value-added support services and the re-sale of hardware and software obtained from vendors. Revenues for PeopleMed are derived, generally, from providing ASP services. Revenues were not significant
Business Strategy
The Companys business strategy for marketing and selling its products and services is two tiered:
1. | The first tier is comprised of direct selling to customers through the Companys internal sales force, and |
2. | The second tier is focused on marketing and selling directly through agreements with companies (Channel Partner Agreements) that are established in blood donor hospital markets. |
The Companys ability to increase future revenues is highly dependent upon the Companys ability to make further inroads in selling its products directly to potential customers. These Channel Partner Agreements are more fully described in BUSINESS, ROYALTY AND COMMISSION AGREEMENTS. In addition, the Companys success is dependent upon the ability of its marketing partners to sell their complementary products in conjunction with the Companys.
Overview
Global Med Technologies, Inc. provides information management software products and services to the health care industry. Wyndgate operates as a division of Global Med Technologies, Inc. and designs, develops, markets and supports information management software products for blood banks, hospitals, centralized transfusion centers and other healthcare related facilities. The Companys PeopleMed subsidiary offers chronic disease management as an Application Service Provider (ASP). PeopleMeds system uses the Internet to coordinate sources and users of a patients clinical information, including laboratory, pharmacy, primary and specialty care providers, claims and medical records. PeopleMed earns revenues primarily by providing ongoing ASP services. PeopleMeds revenues were not significant during 2004 or 2003.
The Company has two main products in its Wyndgate division: SafeTrace and SafeTrace Tx. SafeTrace is used by blood centers and hospitals to track blood donations. SafeTrace Tx is used primarily by hospitals and centralized transfusion centers to help insure the quality of blood transfused into patient-recipients. Both products are designed to help the users comply with quality and safety standards of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the collection and management of blood and blood products. The Companys Wyndgate division earns revenues primarily through the sale of software licenses, implementation of the software systems sold, and by providing maintenance for the SafeTrace and SafeTrace Tx software systems. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Wyndgate division accounted for approximately 97% of the Companys revenues.
17
The decision to purchase a new blood bank system is driven in large part by one or all of the following: replacing antiquated technology, upgrading the laboratory information system (LIS) of the hospital which typically includes the purchase of a blood bank system, and replacing existing products that have been sunsetted. The Company believes that because the purchase of an LIS by a Hospital is a significant driver in the decision to purchase a blood bank system, the Company is heavily reliant on its relationships with its channel partners that sell their LIS systems in combination with the Companys blood bank products. The Companys channel partner relationships are more fully discussed in BUSINESS, COMMISSION AND MARKETING AGREEMENTS.
Entities that plan to purchase blood bank products primarily have two choices:
1. | Upgrade their current system with their existing vendor, or |
2. | Select a replacement system from an alternative vendor. |
The Companys two primary locations are in Lakewood, Colorado, the corporate headquarters, and El Dorado Hills, California. The Companys primary operations which include research and development, implementation staff, support services, and certain administrative staff, are located in the El Dorado Hills facility. Approximately 20% of the Companys employees are not located in Lakewood, Colorado or El Dorado Hills. These employees provide support for the Companys sales and marketing, research and development, and implementation efforts.
Overall, the Companys revenues and cost of revenues were relatively flat for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004. Revenues for this period ranged from $6.514 million to $6.884 million and cost of revenues ranged from $2.140 million to $2.437 million. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, the Companys operating expenses were $4.471 million, $4.545 million, and $5.029 million, respectively. The additional operating expenses in 2004 were in general and administrative expenses and resulted mainly from increased legal expenses associated with litigation with a former employee.
For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, the Companys operations generated positive cash flows in the amount of $547 thousand, $24 thousand and $256 thousand, respectively. For 2005, the Company believes that its cash flows from the sale of SafeTrace and SafeTrace Tx to new customers, the current backlog of existing business, and any sales of equity will be sufficient to fund its operations through the remainder of fiscal year 2005. If the Company is unable to meet its sales projections and the resultant projected cash flows anticipated from those transactions or raise money through additional debt or equity offerings, the Company may be required to significantly reduce planned as well as existing levels of expenditures for all cost categories which includes, cost of sales, sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative. If the Company substantially reduces its planned or the existing levels of expenditures, this could significantly impact the Companys future viability in the blood bank software market.
Management of the Company is focused on increasing its revenues and cash flows through direct sales efforts, increasing its marketing footprint through adding additional channel partners and strategic alliances, and developing new products and enhanced functionality to its existing product mix to make them more attractive to potential customers.
For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company generated sales in the form of sold software license and implementation fees of approximately $5.8 million. Of the $5.8 million in sales, approximately $1.64 million was recognized into revenues and the remaining $4.16 million as December 31, 2004, became part of the Companys backlog of business. The Company expects to recognize the vast majority of the unrecognized software license and implementation fees over a period of approximately 12 months from December 31, 2004. Of the $5.8 million sales value for the year ended December 31, 2004, approximately $153 thousand relates to contracts that are billed on an hourly basis for certain services. Therefore, the $153 thousand portion of the sales values could vary materially from the values provided above.
18
The Company billed out over $8.1 million to our customers during the year. Our cash inflows from operations for the year were over $7.98 million. In addition, the Companys revenues were increasing at a double-digit rate in the third and fourth quarters of 2004 when compared with the preceding quarter. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, revenues increased 22.9% from the second quarter of 2004, and revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2004 increased 24.9% from the third quarter of 2004.
On March 16, 2005, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC, a Chicago based institutional investor, whereby Fusion Capital has agreed to purchase up to $8.0 million of common stock over a 32-month period. Specifically, after the Securities & Exchange Commission has declared effective a registration statement, each month Global Med has the right to sell to Fusion Capital $12.5 thousand of its common stock, per trading day, at a purchase price based upon the market price of Global Meds common stock on the date of each sale without any fixed discount to the market price. The Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Fusion Capital allows the Company to increase the amount of Fusions purchase of common stock beyond the $12.5 thousand amount under certain circumstances. For each $0.10 increase in the price of the Companys common stock over $0.75, the Company will have the right, but not obligation, to increase the amount purchased by Fusion Capital by $3 thousand per day. The price of a share of Global Meds common stock was $2.26 on March 4, 2005. Assuming the Company invoked its right to increase the daily amount of stock purchased by Fusion Capital to the maximum level, Fusion capital would be purchasing approximately $1.15 million worth of common stock per month, assuming twenty (20) trading days per month. In order for Global Med to draw down the entire $8 million available to us under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement with the 10 million shares of common stock being registered in the accompanying registration statement, our common stock must average a market price of $0.80 per share. Each daily sale of our common stock to Fusion Capital pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement could make a subsequent days sale to Fusion Capital more dilutive to existing stockholders by decreasing the price of the common stock for the subsequent days sale. This dilutive effect may cause us not to be able to draw down the entire $8 million under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement with the 10 million shares of common stock we are registering in the accompanying registration statement under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.
In the event we desire to draw down any available amounts remaining under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement after we have issued the 10 million shares being registered in the accompanying registration statement, we will have to file a new registration statement to cover such additional shares that we would issue for additional sales to Fusion Capital. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Fusion Capital may not own more than 9.9% of our outstanding shares of common stock. In the event Fusion Capital is unable to sell the shares of our common stock that are issued after we receive an advance in order to keep them below 9.9% beneficial ownership, we may not be able to draw down additional funds when needed under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement and we may not be able to draw down the full $8 million under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. At the Companys sole option, Fusion Capital can be required to purchase lesser or greater amounts of common stock, within certain ranges, each month up to $8.0 million in the aggregate. The Company has the right to control the timing and the amount of stock sold to Fusion Capital. Global Med also has the right to terminate the agreement at any time without any additional cost. Fusion Capital has agreed not to engage in any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of the common stock in any manner whatsoever. The Company plans on using the first $4 million in proceeds from Fusion Capital to redeem the Companys $3.5 million in Series AA Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and payoff the outstanding $529 thousand in related party debt. . Both the Series AA Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and the outstanding debt are held by a related party, Global Med International Limited, a shareholder with approximately 41% ownership in the Company. Assuming the Companys stock price remains at $2.00 per share, the Company believes it would be able to redeem its outstanding Series AA Preferred Stock and pay off the outstanding debt within approximately 4-6 months of the common shares being registered and sold under the terms of Purchase Agreement. However, sales of our common stock to Fusion Capital pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement will have the effect of decreasing the price of our commons tock and may result in the issuance of additional shares to Fusion Capital so that Fusion Capital may reach its 9.9% ownership limitation prior to our 4-6 month estimate.
Balance Sheet Changes
As of December 31, 2003 and 2004, certain balance sheet account changes were significant. For example, net accounts receivable increased $445 thousand mainly as a result of billings during the year that resulted from increased sales activity. In addition, deferred revenue balance increased by $1.396 million from December 31, 2003 to December 31, 2004. The increases in deferred revenue were primarily due to additional billings during the year that resulted from increased sales activity. In addition, the increases were associated with the deferral of software license fee revenue associated with certain contracts due to the fact that the software required additional customization.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues. Revenues are comprised of software sales, maintenance and usage fees revenues, implementation and consulting revenues, and the re-sale of hardware and software obtained from vendors.
Revenues increased $370 thousand, or 5.7% to $6.884 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to $6.514 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase in revenues was due primarily to a $571 thousand increase in license fees, a $428 thousand increase in usage fees, partially offset by a $292 thousand decrease in PeopleMed revenues. Of the $292 thousand decrease in PeopleMed revenues, $300 thousand of the decrease related to the loss of revenues from a significant customer when they terminated their agreement for the Company to provide services to them in December 2002. During 2003, PeopleMed recognized $300 thousand from the provisions of the termination agreement. Revenues from implementation and consulting services decreased $337 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared with the year ended December 31, 2003. This decrease was primarily the result of $500 thousand in revenues being recognized in during 2003 as part of a non-cash settlement agreement between the Company and one of its marketing partners whereby the Company was released from its obligation to perform additional services in accordance with the terms of prior agreements. See Note 1 in the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
19
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues increased $165 thousand, or 7.3%, to $2.437 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, from $2.272 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase was consistent with the increase in revenues.
The overall gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 64.6% and 65.1% for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The margins for 2003 were higher due to certain non-cash and non-recurring transactions as more fully discussed in note 1 to the financial statements.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased $377 thousand, or 18.3%, to $2.434 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to $2.057 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in legal expenses of $127 thousand, primarily associated with the costs of the Companys litigation with a former employee, an increase of $56 thousand associated with certain consulting activities, an increase in labor-related expenses of $43 thousand, and an increase of $39 thousand in accounting related costs, when comparing 2004 with 2003.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased 10.7% to $1.597 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $1.442 million for the years ended December 31, 2003. The increase is primarily due to the increased level of sales activity during 2004 that resulted in combined internal and external commission expense increasing by $191 thousand when comparing 2004 with 2003.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased by $243 thousand, or 40.8%, to $838 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2003 from $595 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2003. Research and development costs increased during the year ended December 31, 2004 primarily as a result of a $106 thousand increase in labor-related costs and a $91 thousand increase in consulting expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004 when compared with 2003.
Depreciation and Software Amortization. Depreciation and software amortization costs decreased by $291 thousand to $160 thousand from $451 thousand for the periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The primary reason for the decrease was due to the $307 thousand decrease in software amortization costs for 2004 when compared to 2003. This decrease is the result of the capitalized development costs for SafeTrace Tx being fully amortized as of June 2003.
Interest Income. Interest income decreased $35 thousand to $51 thousand in 2004 from $86 thousand in 2003. The primarily reason for the increase was due to the removal of a valuation reserve in 2003 related to interest income that resulted in the Company recognizing $81 thousand in interest on the an outstanding note receivable in 2003 and $48 thousand in 2004.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $299 thousand to $235 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2004 from $534 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2003. The decrease in interest expense was mainly due to the decrease in debt related to the conversion of $3.5 million of the $4.029 million in related party debt into convertible Preferred Stock Series AA. This occurred on April 14, 2004.
Financing Costs. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company recognized $0 and $127 thousand, respectively, in financing costs expenses associated with certain financing agreements and the issuance of warrants to eBanker. The decrease in financing costs was due to amortization costs associated with the warrants issued July 1, 2001 related to the Financing Agreement with eBanker being completed in June of 2003.
Net Loss. The Companys net loss during 2004 as compared to 2003 decreased $112 thousand. The decrease in the net loss is primarily associated with the increase in revenues, offset by higher operating expenses, and lower interest and financing costs.
20
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues. Revenues are comprised of software sales, maintenance and usage fees revenues, implementation and consulting revenues, and the re-sale of hardware and software obtained from vendors.
Revenues decreased $113 thousand, or 1.7% to $6.514 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to $6.627 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The change in revenues was primarily due to the $616 thousand decrease in PeopleMed revenues, $522 thousand of the decrease related to the loss of revenues from a significant customer when they terminated their agreement for the Company to provide services to them in December 2002. During 2003 and 2002, PeopleMed recognized $300 thousand and $500 thousand, respectively, from the provisions of the termination agreement. Revenues from implementation and consulting services decreased $249 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to the year ended December 31, 2002. The decrease in 2003 was primarily attributable to a decrease in implementation revenues. This decrease was the result of fewer SafeTrace Tx customers being implemented in 2003 compared with 2002 and implementations being extended beyond their originally projected completion date. The decrease in implementation and consulting revenues was partially offset by $500 thousand related to a non-cash settlement agreement between the Company and one of its marketing partners whereby the Company was released from its obligation to perform additional services in accordance with the terms of prior agreements. See Note 1 in the consolidated financial statements for further discussion. The decrease in revenues were partially offset by a $511 thousand increase in license fees and a $241 thousand increase in usage fees. Of the $511 thousand increase in software license fees, $388 thousand related to non-cash consideration in the form of a reduction of liabilities the Company owed to a customer. See Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues increased $132 thousand or 6.2% to $2.272 million for for the year ended December 31, 2003, from $2.140 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase was primarily associated with an increase in labor-related costs during 2003 when compared with 2002.
The overall gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 65.1% and 67.7% for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased $112 thousand, or 5.7%, to $2.057 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to $1.945 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in wages of $89 thousand, an increase in consulting services of $45 thousand, offset by a reduction in bad debt expense of $59 thousand, when comparing 2003 with 2002.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses were $1.442 million and $1.426 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased $130 thousand, or 28.0%, to $595 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2003 from $465 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2002. Research and development costs increased during the year ended December 31, 2003 primarily as a result of a reduction of $104 thousand in development-related costs as a result of lower levels of software capitalization on PeopleMeds products during 2003 when compared with 2002.
Depreciation and Software Amortization. The decrease in depreciation and software amortization was primarily due the decrease in software amortization costs of $135 thousand to $344 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2003 when compared with $481 thousand for the comparable period in 2002. The primary reason for the decrease is due to the fact the Company had fully amortized the software development costs associated with SafeTrace Tx in June of 2003. The reduction in SafeTrace Tx amortization costs during 2003 was partially offset by an increase due to a one-time charge of $77 thousand associated with certain PeopleMed-related development protocols.
Interest Income. Interest income increased $71 thousand to $86 thousand in 2003 from $15 thousand in 2002.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $53 thousand to $534 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2003 from $481 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in interest expense was mainly due to the increase in the interest rate on the Companys related party $3.829 million debt from 12% to 15% per year effective July 1, 2003.
21
Financing Costs. For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company recognized $127 thousand and $255 thousand, respectively, in financing costs expenses associated with certain financing agreements and the issuance of warrants to eBanker. The decrease in financing costs was due to amortization costs associated with the warrants issued July 1, 2001 related to the Financing Agreement with eBanker being completed in June of 2003.
Net Loss. The Companys net loss during 2003 as compared to 2002 increased $173 thousand. The net loss includes the recognition of a total of $127 thousand and $255 thousand of financing costs to a related party during the year ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Quarterly Results of Operations
The following table sets forth certain unaudited quarterly results of operations for each of the quarters in the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. In managements opinion, this unaudited information has been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and includes all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the information for the quarters presented, when read in conjunction with the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, included elsewhere in the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. During the year and three months ended December 31, 2004, the Company received $265 thousand in cash and recognized $145 thousand into revenues as a result of a termination agreement with a customer. The remaining $120 thousand reduced certain general and administrative expenses for the three months and year ended December 31, 2004. During the three months ended March 31 and June 30, 2003, the Company recognized $150 thousand in each of these quarters related to a termination fee associated with a significant PeopleMed customer. During the three months ended June 30, 2003, the Company recognized $388 thousand related to non-cash consideration in the form of a reduction of liabilities that the Company owed to a customer. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2003, the Company recognized $500 thousand related to non-cash settlements from one of its marketing partners whereby the Company was released from its obligation to perform services in accordance with the terms of prior agreements. See Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of these non-cash transactions. During the three months ended June 30, 2003, the Company had fully amortized the outstanding capitalized software development costs for SafeTrace Tx. During the three months ended December 31, 2003, the Company wrote down approximately $77 thousand in costs associated with capitalized software development for certain PeopleMed products. These costs related to the underlying protocols that could be used in PeopleMeds software. The protocols were received in January of 2002 and as of December 31, 2003 had not been used incorporated into PeopleMeds software, and the Company has no current plans to do so. This expense was included in software amortization during 2003.
Included in the results for the three months ended December 31, 2003, the Company recognized $81 thousand in interest in income from an outstanding note receivable. Prior to this period, effectively, the Company had a valuation allowance against the accrued interest. Of the $81 thousand in interest income, $69 thousand related to prior periods. The Company reversed this valuation allowance based on improvements in the financial status of the party to the note receivable. See the RELATED PARTIES of Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.633 million and $983 thousand as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Additionally, the Company had a net working capital deficit of $1.452 million and $1.574 million as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
As of December 31, 2004, the Companys $529 thousand in related party financing was considered long-term debt. On April 14, 2004, GMIL and Global Med entered into an agreement to convert $3.5 million of the related party financing into preferred stock. This preferred stock is redeemable at the holders option at any time after March 1, 2006 and mandatorily convertible on March 1, 2009. The remaining $529 thousand in related party financing is due and payable on March 1, 2006. As part of the November 19, 2000 Loan Agreement, there exists a personal guarantee of Dr. Michael I. Ruxin, up to $650 thousand plus pro rata accrued interest. The personal guarantee is limited to certain of Dr. Ruxins assets and remains in full force and effect. The guarantee is limited by the Remaining Debt only. In consideration for the extension, Global Med agreed to pay GMCAL a fee of $287 thousand which includes the extension fee and all interest due for the period from July 1, 2003 to January 1, 2004. As of the date of this agreement, Global Med had paid the $287 thousand extension fee.
24
On April 14, 2004, the Company restructured its outstanding financing agreements with GMIL into debt and preferred stock. The terms of the debt and preferred stock require cash interest and dividend payments to be made on the following dates: March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1. During 2005, the Company is required to make interest payments of approximately $20 thousand March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1, on each of the dates noted above. In addition, the Company will be required to make base dividend payments of approximately $184 thousand March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1 as well as certain additional dividends payments related to 2004 that are expected to remain unpaid as of the end of that year. In the event that the Company is unable to make the mandatory dividend payments in a timely manner, the Company, at GMILs option, can pay for the dividends in common stock or preferred stock of the Company. Based on the Companys projected cash flows for 2005, the payment of mandatory dividends represent a material use of available operating cash. If sufficient cash flows do not materialize, the Company may be required to reduce planned expenditures for sales and marketing and research and development. See Notes 2 and Note 11 of the consolidated financial statements for further discussion related to the debt and preferred stock.
The Company may require additional external financing through additional debt or equity in order to pay off the debt due in March of 2006 or the preferred stock if it is called by the holder in 2006. In addition, the Companys Series AA Preferred Stock requires significant dividend payments in 2005 that could require the Company to obtain additional financing. In the event we are unable to require additional external financing, we could be required to substantially reduce our software development programs and/or substantially reduce our other operating expenses.
It is expected that cash flows from the Companys existing customer base, new sales, sales of common stock and the Companys current assets, including cash and accounts receivable, will be sufficient to fund the Companys liquidity and capital requirements for the next twelve months excluding acquisitions or major new product development initiatives. Management anticipates that the cash, accounts receivable balances, recurring revenues, proceeds from the sale of common stock, and any future financing activities will be used to fund the Companys anticipated research and development costs, sales and marketing efforts during the remainder of 2005 and for general working capital purposes. The Company continues to pursue financing alternatives through the issuance of additional equity or debt.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $256 thousand, $24 thousand, and $547 thousand during 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The cash provided by operations of $256 thousand during 2004 consisted primarily of the net loss of $766 thousand, offset by non-cash charges of $179 thousand and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $843 thousand. During the years ended 2004, 2003, and 2002, the Company received $265 thousand, $350 thousand, and $450 thousand, respectively, in cash proceeds related to the termination of contracts with significant customers. See Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements for further discussion. During the years ended 2004 and 2003, the Company made cash interest payments of $259 thousand and $200 thousand to its parent Company. No related party interest payments were made during the year ended 2002.
Net cash used by investing activities was $77 thousand, and $48 thousand, and $458 thousand during 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company invested $0, $19 thousand, and $122 thousand in capitalized software development during 2004, 2003, and 2002 respectively. For 2002, the Company provided $290 thousand to fund notes receivable to a related party. During 2003, the Company provided $30 thousand to this same entity that was no longer a related party.
The Companys financing activities provided $471 thousand in 2004. There were no financing related activities during 2003 that provided or used cash. Net cash provided by financing activities was $241 during 2002. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had the following contractual obligations or unrecorded obligations:

* The Series AA Preferred Stock is callable by the holder on March 1, 2006 and mandatorily redeemable on March 1, 2009. As of December 31, 2003, the Series AA Preferred stock was classified as INDEBTEDNESS DUE IN 2004, REFINANCED AS PREFERRED STOCK IN 2004, RELATED PARTY in the consolidated financial statements because the outstanding debt was not converted to preferred stock until April 14, 2004. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion. The related party financing is due and payable on March 1, 2006 and may not be repaid as long as the Series AA Preferred Stock is outstanding.
** Includes interest payments of $33 thousand.

For 2005, the Company will be required to pay approximately $243 thousand in unpaid dividends accrued during 2004. As a result of the deferral of certain dividend payments, the Company will be required to pay a financing fee in the amount of approximately $26 thousand in 2005. This amount is reflected in the schedule above. See Note 6 of the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of preferred stock.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
Although it is difficult to predict the impact of inflation on our costs and revenues in connection with our products, we do not anticipate that inflation will materially impact our costs of operation or the profitability of our products when marketed.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
A critical accounting policy is one that is both important to the portrayal of the Companys financial condition or results of operations and requires significant judgment or a complex estimation process. The Company believes the following fit that definition:
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (SOP) No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition. The Companys standard software license agreement for the Companys products provides for an initial fee to use the product in perpetuity up to a maximum number of users. Fees from software licenses are recognized as revenue upon shipment, provided fees are fixed and determinable and collection is probable. Fees from licenses sold together with consulting services are generally recognized upon shipment provided that the above criteria have been met, payment of the license fees is not dependent upon the performance of the consulting services and the consulting services are not essential to the functionality of the licensed software. In instances in which the consulting services are not essential to the functionality of the software but payment of the license fee is due at the earlier of the performance of specific consulting services or the passage of time, the license fee is recognized ratably over the anticipated period of performance of the services or ratably over the license fee billing period, whichever is more readily determinable. If the consulting services are essential to the functionality of the product or any portion of the payment of the license fee is contingent solely upon the performance of consulting services, license fees are recognized ratably over the anticipated period of performance of the consulting services.
26
For arrangements with multiple elements, we allocate revenue to each element of a transaction based upon its fair value as determined by vendor specific objective evidence. Vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for all elements of an arrangement is based upon the normal pricing and discounting practices for those products and services when sold separately and for software license updates and product support services, and is additionally measured by the renewal rate offered to the customer. We may modify our pricing practices in the future, which could result in changes in our vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for these undelivered elements. As a result, our future revenue recognition for multi-element arrangements could differ significantly from our historical results.
If an arrangement does not qualify for separate accounting of the software license and consulting transactions, then new software license revenue is generally recognized together with the consulting services based on contract accounting using the percentage-of-completion method. Contract accounting is generally applied to arrangements when services include significant modification or customization of the software. Progress towards completion is generally measured based on hours incurred versus projected total hours.
Certain of the Companys contracts include warranties that provide for refunds of all or a portion of the software license and or other fees in the event that the Company is unable to provide maintenance services, for which there is a separate fee, for the contractually prescribed period. Contracts with these provisions are accounted for in accordance with the policies above.
Some of the Companys contracts with customers require significant customization of the software or have services that are essential to the functionality of the software. The Company recognizes revenues from these contracts over the period the services are performed, in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition.
The Company provides consulting services that include implementation, training and the performance of other services to its customers. Revenue from such services is generally recognized ratably over the period during which the applicable service is to be performed.
Support agreements generally call for the Company to provide technical support and software updates, on a when-and-if-available basis to customers. Revenue on technical support and software update rights is recognized ratably over the term of the support agreement.
Revenues from the re-sale of hardware and software, obtained from vendors, is recognized at the time the hardware and software are delivered to customers.
PeopleMed has contracts that include fixed fee and per-member fees. The Company recognizes revenues from these contracts as services are provided.
Note Receivable Collectibility
The Company had outstanding notes receivable in the amount of $400 thousand and accrued interest receivable of approximately $129 thousand outstanding as of December 31, 2004. The Company lent money to the party to the notes receivable from 2001 to 2003. Consistent with the terms of the notes receivable, the Company has received no interest or principal payments and all accrued and unpaid interest and principal are due at various dates during 2006. The factors the Company considered in determining the collectibility of the notes receivable are as follows:
1. | Continued improvements in the party to the notes receivable financial status from December 31, 2003 to December 31, 2004, |
2. | The Parties financial status as of December 31, 2004, and |
3. | The Parties current and projected funding sources through the due date of the notes receivable. |
All of the information above was unaudited and supplied by the party to the notes receivable. Based on the Companys review of the information provided, the Company does not believe the outstanding notes receivable or the accrued interest are impaired as of December 31, 2004. If the party to the note receivable is unable to pay the note receivable or defaults on a material portion of payment of the note receivable, this could have material impact on the Companys financials statements for the period in which the default or impairment is recognized.
27
Prior to the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company had a valuation allowance on all of the interest income associated with the note receivable discussed above. Although the financial status of the entity that was lent the $400 thousand notes receivable did not warrant a reserve for the principal amount of the notes receivable because the Company believed no impairment existed, no interest income was recognized prior to the fourth quarter of 2003. Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company, which prior to this had not received any monies from the entity to whom the note receivable was lent, received $42 thousand for services to be performed. Based on the improvements in the entities financial status and the receipt of monies from the entity, the Company effectively removed the valuation allowance from the interest income on the note receivable. Of the $81 thousand in interest income recognized in 2003, $27 thousand and $7 thousand related to interest income for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Income Tax Valuation Allowance
On an annual basis, the management of the Company evaluates the realizability of the net deferred tax assets and assesses the need for a valuation allowance. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management concluded that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of future taxable income in the period in which the temporary differences become deductible. The Company has established a full valuation allowance for deferred taxes due to the uncertainty that the deferred tax assets will be utilized.
Accounting for Additional Commitment Shares
In conjunction with the Fusion Capital Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue additional commitment shares to Fusion Capital as they purchase up to $8 million of the Companys common stock. The specific details related to the issuance of these shares is more fully described in section entitled Commitment Shares Issued to Fusion Capital on page 46. The additional commitment shares issued in conjunction with the number of shares purchased by Fusion Capital will be considered outstanding on the date of purchase. The additional commitment shares issued and the number of shares purchased will be combined and the total shares received by Fusion Capital will be valued equally and accounted for in the Companys balance sheet based on the net proceeds received from Fusion Capital.
RECENTLY ISSUED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
On April 14, 2005, the SEC announced it would permit most registrants, subject to its oversight, additional time to implement the requirements in FASB Statement No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. As originally issued by the FASB, public companies subject to SEC oversight were required to implement Statement 123R as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005, or after December 15, 2005 for small business issuers.
As announced, the SEC will permit companies to implement Statement 123R at the beginning of their next fiscal year, instead of the next reporting period as required by Statement 123R. That means a calendar year registrant, that is not a small business issuer, may continue to follow the guidance in FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, throughout 2005 and implement the new rules reflected in Statement 123R beginning January 1, 2006. The SEC notes that if a company has a fiscal year that ends on June 30, 2005 and is not a small business issuer, it must still comply with Statement 123R beginning with its quarter beginning on July 1, 2005. In other words, such companies must comply with Statement 123R as originally issued by the FASB.
The SEC announcement notes that it is not changing any of the accounting requirements in Statement 123R, rather only the required compliance date for certain registrants.
We understand the FASB has no current plans to amend or alter the guidance in Statement 123R to reflect the view of the SEC.
A complete copy of the SEC announcement is available at the following website: http://www.sec.gov/news/press/2005-57.htm.
In December 2004 the FASB issued SFAS No. 153 Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. SFAS No. 153 amends APB Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 is to be applied prospectively for nonmonetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Our adoption of SFAS No. 153 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

BUSINESS
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
Global Med Technologies, Inc. was organized under the laws of the State of Colorado in December 1989.
In 1995, Global Med Technologies, Inc. merged with the Wyndgate Group, Inc. (Wyndgate). Wyndgate operates as a division of Global Med Technologies, Inc. and designs, develops, markets and supports information management software products for blood banks, hospitals, centralized transfusion centers and other healthcare related facilities.
During 1999, Global Med Technologies, Inc. formed a majority-owned subsidiary, PeopleMed.com, Inc. (PeopleMed), a Colorado corporation, to develop a software application designed to give HMO providers and other third party payers, access to clinical information for chronic disease patients. This application allows doctors and other medical employees access to a patients history. PeopleMed offers chronic disease management as an Application Service Provider (ASP). PeopleMeds system uses the Internet to coordinate sources and users of a patients clinical information, including laboratory, pharmacy, primary and specialty care providers, claims and medical records.
PeopleMed is owned 83% by Global Med Technologies, Inc. and 13% by certain executive officers and directors of Global Med Technologies, Inc. and 4% owned by third parties. Global Med Technologies, Inc. and PeopleMed are referred to collectively herein as the Company or Global Med.
RELATED PARTIES
Global Med is financed primarily through lending arrangements with Global Med International Limited (GMIL). These lending arrangements were originated by eBanker USA.com, Inc., (eBanker) transferred, along with eBankers ownership in Global Med, to Global Med China & Asia Limited (GMCAL) in October 2002, and then the lending arrangements were transferred to GMIL in September 2003. Until November 28, 2001, eBanker was a consolidated subsidiary of eVision International, Inc. (eVision). eVision is majority owned by China Credit Holdings Limited (China Credit formerly Heng Fung Holdings Limited) and its subsidiaries, Online Credit Limited (Online Credit) and Heng Fung Singapore Pte. Limited (Heng Fung Singapore). Currently, GMCAL is a shareholder of Global Med. Until November 2001, eVision was also a shareholder of Global Med. eBanker through its subsidiary, GMCAL, is a shareholder of Global Med. Additionally, eVision and GMCAL each hold warrants to acquire 1 million and 11.186 million shares, respectively, of Global Meds common stock with exercise prices that range from $0.25-$0.50 per share. In November 2000, eBanker and Global Med entered into a series of equity transactions that resulted in Global Med becoming a consolidated subsidiary of eBanker and eVision effective November 2000.
On November 28, 2001, the shareholders of eVision approved a transaction, which transferred certain of the assets of eVision to Online Credit as satisfaction of the certain obligations eVision had with Online Credit. As a result, all of Global Meds common shares held by eVision and all eBankers common shares and warrants held by eVision were transferred to Online Credit. Consequently, as of November 28, 2001, Global Med remained a consolidated entity of eBanker for accounting purposes; however, eBanker was then directly controlled by Online Credit instead of eVision. Additionally, eVision Corporate Services, Inc. and certain other subsidiaries of China Credit provide certain support services to Global Med.
As a result of these transactions and relationships, the financial condition and results of operations for Global Med may not necessarily be indicative of those that would have resulted if Global Med were unaffiliated with these entities.

Description of Business
Principal Products and Their Markets
Global Med designs, develops, markets and supports information management software products for blood banks, hospitals, centralized transfusion centers and other health care related facilities. Revenues are derived from the licensing of software, maintenance, the provision of consulting and other value added support services, and the resale of hardware and software obtained from vendors.
Wyndgate began development of a blood tracking system called SafeTrace to assist community blood centers, hospitals, plasma centers and outpatient clinics in the U.S. in complying with the quality and safety standards of the Food and Drug Administration for the collection and management of blood and blood products.
Global Med has two main products in its Wyndgate division: SafeTrace and SafeTrace Tx, a transfusion management information system that is designed to be used by hospitals and centralized transfusion centers to help insure the quality of blood transfused into patient-recipients. SafeTrace Tx provides electronic cross-matching capabilities to help insure blood compatibility with patient-recipients and tracks, inventory, bill and document all activities with blood products from the time blood products are received in inventory to the time the blood products are used or returned to blood centers. SafeTrace Tx complements SafeTrace, because the combined SAFETRACE Tx and SafeTrace software system is now able to integrate hospitals with blood centers and provide a vein-to-vein® tracking of the blood supply. SafeTrace Tx received FDA clearance on January 29, 1999.
Global Med continues to concentrate its development efforts on enhancements to its existing SafeTrace blood bank product and SafeTrace Tx. The FDA has cleared both products for sale in the United States.
In 1999, Global Med introduced PeopleMed. PeopleMed supports chronic disease management as an ASP. PeopleMeds system uses the Internet to coordinate sources of information and users of a patients clinical information, including laboratory, pharmacy, primary and specialty care providers, claims, and medical records.
All of Global Meds revenues were generated from providing products and services to end users located throughout the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and Africa.
Competition
There is substantial competition in all aspects of the blood bank and hospital information management industry. Numerous companies are developing technologies and marketing products and services in the healthcare information management area. Many competitors in the blood bank industry have received FDA clearance for their products. Many of these competitors have been in business longer and have substantially greater personnel and financial resources than Global Med. Global Med is aware of three primary competitors to our SafeTrace software product: Mak-System Corp.; Blood Bank Computer Systems, Inc. and Mediware Information Systems, Inc. There are five primary competitors in the United States to our SafeTrace Tx product: Misys Hospital Systems, Inc. (Misys is a channel partner that currently resells the Companys SafeTrace software); Mediware Information Systems, Inc.; Meditech, Inc., SCC Soft Computer; and Cerner Corp. Global Med believes it is able to compete based on the current technological capabilities of SafeTrace and SafeTrace Tx.
Dependence On Major Customers
As of February 8, 2005, Global Med, through its Wyndgate division, had over 125 customers. It intends to continue to target domestic and international blood centers, plasma centers and hospital donor and transfusion centers. During the year ended December 31, 2004, there were no customers accounting for more than 10% of revenues.
During the year ended December 31, 2003, Global Med had one customer, the Institute for Transfusion Medicine that accounted for 10.4%, or $677 thousand of Global Meds revenues.
During the year ended December 31, 2002, Global Med had one customer that accounted for 15.4%, or $1.022 million, of Global Meds revenues. Of the $1.022 million in revenues, $500 thousand was attributable to the customer terminating a five-year contract with PeopleMed. See Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements for discussion.

Royalty And Commission Agreements
The Royalty Group. Pursuant to a development agreement between Wyndgate and the Royalty Group, Wyndgate developed SafeTrace and must make royalty payments to the Royalty Group based on a percentage of Wyndgates SafeTrace license fees collected, measured by cash received from SafeTrace licensees, net of certain fees and charges. The royalty schedule is based upon the first date of SafeTrace license invoicing, which was September 14, 1995. The royalty amounts are computed as a percentage of software license fees collected. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, Global Med expensed $0, $6 thousand, and $12 thousand, respectively, and are included in the cost of revenues in the statement of operations. Global Med has accrued but not paid any royalties for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, or 2002. As of December 31, 2004, the outstanding royalty obligation was approximately $125 thousand.
The Institute for Transfusion Medicine. Pursuant to a development agreement between Wyndgate and The Institute for Transfusion Medicine (ITXM), Wyndgate developed SafeTrace Tx and agreed to make royalty payments to ITXM, based on a percentage of Wyndgates SafeTrace Tx license fees paid. The royalty amounts were computed as a percentage of net software license fees. Global Med did not pay any royalties for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 or 2002. In April 2003, Wyndgate signed an agreement with ITXM whereby ITXM waived its rights to payment for all future and past royalties. See Note 1 of the audited consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
OrthoClinical Diagnostics, Inc. In 1996, Global Med entered into an Exclusivity and Software Development Agreement (the Exclusivity Agreement) with Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Inc. (OCD), successor to Ortho Diagnostic Systems Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson. The Exclusivity Agreement provided OCD the exclusive right to negotiate with Global Med with respect to Global Meds activities and developments in information technology and intellectual property relating to donor and transfusion medicine. In connection with this agreement, Global Med received $500 thousand in 1996, which was recorded as deferred revenue, because the services to be provided to OCD in conjunction with the receipt of this cash had not yet been provided.
In May 1997, Global Med received a request from OCD to continue its evaluation of Global Meds technology, on a non-exclusive basis, with the intent of responding to Global Med by July 14, 1997 regarding whether or not OCD would propose some form of transaction with Global Med. Global Med received an additional $500 thousand from OCD during 1997 which was recorded as deferred revenue until Global Med provided the software development services as defined in the Exclusivity Agreement. Global Med finalized the Manufacturers Representative and Software Development Agreement (OCD Agreement) during June 1999 making OCD the exclusive in-vitro diagnostics manufacturers representative for the SafeTrace Tx product in defined territories around the world. The total of $1 million was included in deferred revenue as of December 31, 1998. Global Med recognized $500 thousand ratably over the term of the 22 month contract which ended in June of 2001. Global Med recognized the remaining portion of the deferred revenue in the amount of $500 thousand in June 2003 in conjunction with a Settlement Agreement with Ortho.
In June 2003, Global Med signed a settlement agreement (the Settlement Agreement) with Ortho Clinical Diagnostics, Inc. (Ortho), whereby all of Global Meds outstanding obligations to and from Ortho were released. As a result, Global Med was released from its obligation to provide Ortho with $500 thousand in software development work for which it had received payment from Ortho in 1997 as part of the exclusivity agreement Global Med signed with Ortho in 1997.
In addition, Global Med was released from all other obligations to Ortho, which included liabilities amounting to approximately $36 thousand for sales distribution commissions. For the year ended December 31, 2003, Global Med recognized $500 thousand in revenues associated with the Settlement Agreement and Orthos waiver of its right to software development services. In addition, Global Med reduced sales and marketing expenses by $36 thousand as a result the release of Global Med from its obligation to pay commissions to Ortho for prior sales. The OCD Agreement was signed with Ortho during June 1999 and expired in June 2003.
Siemens Medical Solutions Health Services Corporation. During September of 1999, Global Med entered into a non-exclusive marketing and support agreement with Shared Medical Systems Corporation (SMS).

McKesson Information Solutions LLC. Global Med entered into a Value Added Marketing Agreement (McKesson Agreement) with McKesson Information Solutions LLC, a division of McKesson Corporation, to provide Wyndgates SafeTrace Tx (the Software) advanced transfusion management system as Horizon Blood Bank, as a privately-labeled (OEM) module to be separately licensed with McKessons Horizon Lab solution. Horizon Blood Bank serves as a tool to help organizations improve patient safety by automating the management and tracking patient transfusion services. McKesson Information Solutions products are in use in over 2 thousand hospitals throughout the United States.
The McKesson Agreement grants McKesson the right to privately brand SafeTrace Tx in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The McKesson Agreement also grants McKesson rights to market the Software to McKessons hospital information system, clinical systems and ancillary systems customers. This Agreement does not prevent Wyndgate from pursing sales opportunities through its existing channel partner base as provided and/or required by those agreements. Wyndgate is not required and will not inform McKesson of the opportunities brought to Wyndgate by its channel partners.
The McKesson Agreement requires Wyndgate and McKesson to integrate certain aspects of their respective software products. Wyndgate and McKesson have agreed that certain aspects of their joint software development will be unique to one another, and not available to any other channel partner or non-McKesson customers. In light of these grants of exclusivity, McKesson has agreed to certain revenue commitments in order to maintain their marketing rights in terms of the increased software product functionality. The revenue commitments include software license fees, implementation services fees, and maintenance fees.
32
In the event that McKesson is unable to meet certain revenue commitments, McKesson has the right to purchase prepaid license fees from Wyndgate in order to maintain its marketing rights. In the McKesson Agreement, Wyndgate has agreed to notify McKesson, as soon as reasonably possible, if any entity makes a proposal to acquire a majority share in, or full ownership of, Global Med or the Software. McKesson would have the right within ten (10) days to also make an offer after receipt of such notice. Global Med has no obligation to accept such offer. The McKesson Agreement grants McKesson the right to participate in meetings that relate to future development of the Software. Wyndgate is required to provide frequent and timely communications on the path of the Software. Wyndgate and McKesson have agreed to certain enhancements to the Software. The McKesson Agreement provides for McKesson to pay Wyndgate certain fees for the licensing of the Software, performance of implementation and maintenance services by Wyndgate for McKessons customers using the Software.
Certain terms of the McKesson Agreement are not provided because they are proprietary in nature and are subject to confidentiality and non-disclosure provisions under the Agreement.
Paratech, LLC. Global Med, through its PeopleMed subsidiary, entered into a non-exclusive marketing agreement with Paratech, LLC. (Paratech). Under the terms of this agreement, Global Med will pay Paratech a commission for sales of PeopleMeds products they facilitate.
Government Approval And Regulation
The FDA requires all blood tracking application software vendors to submit a 510(k) application for review. The application process for FDA review and compliance with FDA guidelines relates to computer software products regulated as medical devices. The FDA considers software products intended for the following to be medical devices: (i) use in the manufacture of blood and blood components; or (ii) maintenance of data used to evaluate the suitability of donors and the release of blood or blood components for transfusion or further manufacturing. As medical device manufacturers, Global Med and its competitors are required to register with the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), list their medical devices, and submit a pre-market notification or application for pre-market review. In April 1997, Global Meds Wyndgate division received notification from the FDA of its finding of substantial equivalence of SafeTrace. This determination provides a 510(k) clearance and permits Global Med to continue to market SafeTrace. On January 29, 1999, the 510(k) clearance was received for SafeTrace Tx.
Global Meds products and services are subject to regulations adopted by governmental authorities, including the FDA, which governs blood center computer software products regulated as medical devices. Global Med is also required to follow applicable Quality System Regulations (QSR) of the FDA, which include testing, control and documentation requirements, as well as similar requirements in other countries, including International Standards Organization (ISO) 9001 standards. In 1996 Congress passed legislation that impacted the healthcare information management. The Healthcare Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to enact standards for information sharing, security and patient confidentiality. Although HHS has not issued clarification on many of the topics under HIPAA, Global Med believes these regulations will have an important impact on requiring advanced management information systems that will enable various healthcare organizations to comply with emerging requirements.
HIPAA contains provisions regarding the confidentiality and security of patient medical record information. Standards for the electronic handling of health data and security of patient information became effective in 2000. This legislation requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services, or HHS, to (a) adopt national standards for electronic health information transactions, (b) adopt standards to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of health information, and (c) establish a schedule for implementing national health data privacy legislation or regulations. The standards and legislation will impact the customers ability to obtain, use or disseminate patient information, which will extend to their use of Global Meds products. Global Med believes that the proposed standards issued to date would not materially affect the business of Global Med. Global Med cannot determine the potential impact of the standards that might finally be adopted.

Financing Agreements With Related Parties
Debt Conversion
Pursuant to a Loan Restructuring and Restatement Agreement between Global Med and eBanker of which GMIL is a subsidiary, dated November 19, 2000, as amended (the Agreement), Global Med was required to repay $3.829 million, which amount included all principal, interest and other charges due under the Agreement (except for $96 thousand in extension interest payments and accrued interest thereon due on July 1, 2004), on or before March 1, 2004. By an Assignment dated July 4, 2002, eBanker assigned the Agreement to Global Med International Holdings Limited (GMIHL), a subsidiary of eBanker and parent company of GMIL. By an Assignment dated July 4, 2002, GMIHL assigned the Agreement to GMIL. By an Assignment dated October 28, 2002, GMIL assigned the Agreement to GMCAL, a subsidiary of GMIL. By an Assignment dated September 19, 2003, GMCAL assigned the Agreement to GMIL. Pursuant to a Loan and Promissory Note between Global Med and GMIHL dated June 18, 2002, as previously amended (the Note), Global Med was required to repay GMIHL $200 thousand, which amount included all principal, interest and other charges due under the Note (except for $12 thousand in extension interest payments due on July 1, 2004), on or before March 1, 2004. GMIHL has assigned the Note to GMIL. The total debt owed by Global Med to GMIL under the Agreement and the Note (except for the $96 thousand in extension interest payments and accrued interest thereon due on July 1, 2004 and the $12 thousand in extension interest payments due on July 1, 2004, referenced above) (the Debt) was $4.029 million at December 31, 2003.
On April 14, 2004, Global Med International Limited (GMIL) and Global Med amended their existing financing agreements and entered into an agreement to combine the outstanding $3.829 million and $200 thousand debt agreements. The combined loan of $4.029 million was then separated into two parts: $529 thousand was converted into debt (Remaining Debt) and $3.5 million was converted into $1 par value Series AA Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (Preferred Stock). (See note 6 of the financial statements for further discussion of the preferred stock. ) The due date of the Remaining Debt is March 1, 2006. The interest rate on the Remaining Debt is 15% per year and interest on this debt is due and payable quarterly on March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1 of each year until the Remaining Debt is paid in full. The Remaining Debt is secured by all of Global Meds assets and is subject to the outstanding terms of November 19, 2000 financing agreement (Loan Agreement). As of April 14, 2004, Global Med had paid GMIL $287 thousand of the $287 thousand extension fee. At December 31, 2004, principal of $529 thousand and accrued interest of $69 thousand was outstanding under the terms of the Remaining Debt agreement.
Under the terms of the Remaining Debt and Preferred Stock Agreements, the personal guaranty of Dr. Michael I. Ruxin, the Companys Chairman and CEO, remains in effect until both the Preferred Stock and Remaining Debt and any related dividends or interest, respectively, are paid. Unless Global Med is in default of the Remaining Debt or Preferred Stock agreements, Dr. Ruxins personal guaranty is limited to the debt and related interest and will not exceed $650 thousand and will remain in effect until the total Remaining Debt has been fully paid or satisfied. The agreements also contain the following provisions:
o | Global Med agrees to register with the SEC all unregistered Global Med shares and shares underlying derivatives regardless of the owner of the shares. |
o | Registration of all Global Med Shares will be maintained and not allowed to lapse. |
o | Remaining Debt and Preferred Stock are not satisfied unless eliminated. |

Stock Option Plans And Other Issuances
In the second quarter of 2001, Global Med adopted the 2001 Stock Option Plan (2001 Plan). The 2001 Plan provided for the issuance of options to purchase up to 15 million registered shares of common stock to employees, officers, directors and consultants of Global Med. Options may be granted as incentive stock options or as nonqualified stock options. Only employees of Global Med are eligible to receive Incentive Options. The 2001 Plan expires on December 28, 2010. In June 2003, the Board of Directors of Global Med approved a change in the 2001 Plan. The Board of Directors of Global Med authorized an amendment to the 2001 Plan reducing the number of common shares reserved and authorized for issuance by 5 million. Effective in June 2003, the total number of common shares approved for issuance under the 2001 Plan as authorized by the Board was reduced from 15 million to 10 million. Global Med filed an amendment to the existing S-8 registration statement for the 2001 Plan to effect this change on May 20, 2004. As of December 31, 2004, options to purchase 2.830 million shares of Global Meds common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $0.59 per share were outstanding under the 2001 Plan, of which 1.265 million options to purchase shares were exercisable at December 31, 2004. Options granted under the Plan vest on a straight-line basis, based on schedules as determined by the Board of Directors upon grant and generally expire 10 years after grant. During the year ended December 31, 2004, Global Med issued 200 thousand stock options under the 2001 Plan.
In June 2003, Global Meds Board of Directors approved the 2003 Stock Option Plan (2003 Plan). The 2003 Plan provides for the issuance of stock options exercisable to purchase up to 5 million shares of Global Meds common stock to employees, officers, directors and consultants. The Board of Directors also approved the inclusion of options to purchase approximately 4.707 million shares under the 2003 Plan that were issued to such persons prior to the adoption of the 2003 Plan and lacked registration rights. Global Med filed an S-8 registration statement to register the 5 million shares issuable under the 2003 Plan on May 20, 2004. The range of the exercise prices of the 4.707 million options is $0.45 to $1.50 per share. The weighted- average exercise price of these options is $0.68 per share. As of December 31, 2004, there were 4.607 million options exercisable under the 2003 Plan.
The Second Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (Plan) provides for the issuance of options to purchase up to 2.2 million registered shares of common stock to employees, officers, directors and consultants of Global Med. Options may be granted as incentive stock or as nonqualified stock options. Only employees of Global Med are eligible to receive Incentive Options. As of May 31, 2000, options could no longer be issued under this Plan. As of December 31, 2004, options to purchase 1.137 million shares of Global Meds common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $1.19 per share were outstanding under the Plan, of which 1.137 million options to purchase shares were exercisable at December 31, 2004.
41
Global Med also periodically grants options to purchase shares of registered common stock. The shares underlying these options are not registered under the 1933 Act. As of December 31, 2004, there were outstanding options to purchase 220 thousand shares of common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $2.08 per share through December 31, 2004, of which 212 thousand were exercisable at December 31, 2004.
In February of 2005, the Companys Board of Directors approved documentation changes related to option grants to certain employees and a director that occurred in December of 1999 and June of 2000. The Board of Directors determined that the term of the options as originally granted, five years, was documented incorrectly and should have been ten years. This determination was based on the fact that the five year term was inconsistent with the Companys defacto policies and practices at the time to grant ten year options to directors and employees. As the Company views this Board action as a correction of a documentation deficiency, the Company has no plans to recognize compensation expense associated with this documentation correction.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted resolutions that no business transaction, loan or advance will be made by the Company to any officer, director or holder of more than 5% of the Companys common stock, or any affiliate thereof, unless it has been established that a bona fide business purpose exists, that all future transactions between the Company and its officers, directors, or principal shareholders, or any affiliate of any of such person, must be approved or ratified by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, and the terms of such transaction must be no less favorable to the Company than could have been realized by the Company in an arms-length transaction with an unaffiliated person. The Company believes that all ongoing transactions with the Companys affiliates are on terms no less favorable than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
The Board of Directors of the Company adopted a resolution in July 1996 that provides that the areas of business in which the Company shall be interested for the purpose of the doctrine of corporate opportunities shall be the business of information management software products and services. Any business opportunity which falls within such areas of interest must be brought to the attention of the Company for acceptance or rejection prior to any officer or director of the Company taking advantage of such opportunity. Any business opportunity outside such areas of interest may be entered into by any officer or director of the Company without the officer or director first offering the business opportunity to the Company.
Dr. Ruxin has personally guaranteed $650 thousand plus pro rata interest of the outstanding loan balance with GMIL, originally associated with the November 19, 2000 eBanker Loan Agreement. The personal guarantee is limited to certain of Dr. Ruxins assets.
As of December 31, 2002, the Companys Board of Directors had approved borrowings to a related party totaling $370 thousand. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Companys Notes Receivable, related party balance, increased $290 thousand to a total of $370 thousand as a result of funds advanced in the form of promissory notes to this entity controlled by a, now formerly, director of the Company, Jeff Busch. The notes bear interest at 12% per year and mature in 2006. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company had lent $80 thousand to this entity. In addition, the CEO and Chairman of Global Med, Michael I. Ruxin, was also on the board of directors of this entity controlled by Jeff Busch. Dr. Ruxin resigned as a director of the related entity effective December 12, 2002. Jeff Busch resigned his position as a director of the Company and PeopleMed effective December 12, 2002. As a result, Jeff Busch and the entity controlled by Jeff Busch are no longer related parties of the Company. On March 10, 2003 the Companys Board of Directors approved and subsequently funded additional borrowings to this entity controlled by Jeff Busch in the amount of $30 thousand.
During 2004, 2003 and 2002, eVision provided the Company with various accounting services. The Company recognized $21 thousand, $48 thousand, and $52 thousand in general and administrative expenses related to these services. During 2004, 2003, and 2002, the Company incurred $229 thousand, $508 thousand, and $460 thousand, respectively, in interest charges from debt originally financed by eBanker, and subsequently transferred to GMCAL and then GMIL. eBanker, GMCAL, and GMIL are entities that are controlled by China Credit. Global Med International Holdings Limited (GMIHL) is a subsidiary of eBanker. The Company incurred $0, $24 and $12 thousand in interest charges from GMIHL during 2004 and 2003,and 2002, respectively.

THE FUSION CAPITAL TRANSACTION
General
On March 16, 2005, we entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC pursuant to which Fusion Capital agreed to purchase on each trading day during the term of the agreement, $12.5 thousand of our common stock or an aggregate of up to $8.0 million. The $8.0 million of common stock is to be purchased over a 32-month period, subject to a six-month extension or earlier termination at our discretion. The purchase price of the shares of common stock will be equal to a price based upon the future market price of the common stock without any fixed discount to the market price. Fusion Capital does not have the right or the obligation to purchase shares of our common stock in the event that the price of our common stock is less than $0.20.
We have authorized the sale and issuance of 10 million shares of our common stock to Fusion Capital under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement of which we have registered 10 million shares. We estimate that the maximum number of shares we will sell to Fusion Capital under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement will be 10 million shares (exclusive of the shares issued and issuable to Fusion Capital as the commitment fee) assuming Fusion Capital purchases all $8.0 million of common stock. However, in the event we desire to draw down any available amounts remaining under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement after we have issued the 10 million shares being registered in the accompanying registration statement, we will have to file a new registration statement to cover such additional shares that we would issue for additional sales to Fusion Capital.
Purchase Of Shares Under The Common Stock Purchase Agreement
Under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, on each trading day Fusion Capital is obligated to purchase a specified dollar amount of our common stock. Subject to our right to suspend such purchases at any time, and our right to terminate the agreement with Fusion Capital at any time, each as described below, Fusion Capital shall purchase on each trading day during the term of the agreement $12.5 thousand of our common stock. This daily purchase amount may be decreased by us at any time. We also have the right to increase the daily purchase amount at any time, provided however, we may not increase the daily purchase amount above $12.5 thousand unless our stock price is above $0.85 per share for five consecutive trading days. The purchase price per share is equal to the lesser of:
| the lowest sale price of our common stock on the purchase date; or |
| the average of the three (3) lowest closing sale prices of our common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive trading days prior to the date of a purchase by Fusion Capital. |
The purchase price will be adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, or other similar transaction occurring during the trading days in which the closing bid price is used to compute the purchase price. Fusion Capital may not purchase shares of our common stock under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement if Fusion Capital, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 9.9% of our common stock outstanding at the time of the purchase by Fusion Capital. Fusion Capital has the right at any time to sell any shares purchased under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement which would allow it to avoid the 9.9% limitation. Therefore, we do not believe that Fusion Capital will ever reach the 9.9% limitation.
45
The following table sets forth the amount of proceeds we would receive from Fusion Capital from the sale of shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus at varying purchase prices:
Assumed Average Purchase Price |
Number of Shares to be Issued if Full Purchase |
Percentage Outstanding After Giving Effect to the Issuance to Fusion Capital(1) |
Proceeds from the Sale of Shares to Fusion Capital Under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement | ||||

______________
(1) Based on 27,672,056 shares outstanding as of March 4, 2005.
(2) Closing sale price of our common stock on March 4, 2005.
We estimate that we will issue no more than 10 million shares to Fusion Capital under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement all of which are included in this offering. In order for Global Med to draw down the entire $8 million available to us under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement with the 10 million shares of common stock being registered in the accompanying registration statement, our common stock must average a market price of $0.80 per share. Each daily sale of our common stock to Fusion Capital pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement could make a subsequent days sale to Fusion Capital more dilutive to existing stockholders by decreasing the price of the common stock for the subsequent days sale.
In the event we desire to draw down any available amounts remaining under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement after we have issued the 10 million shares being registered in the accompanying registration statement, we will have to file a new registration statement to cover such additional shares that we would issue for additional sales to Fusion Capital. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Fusion Capital may not own more than 9.9% of our outstanding shares of common stock. In the event Fusion Capital is unable to sell the shares of our common stock that are issued after we receive an advance in order to keep them below 9.9% beneficial ownership, we may not be able to draw down additional funds when needed under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. We have the right to terminate the agreement without any payment or liability to (excluding the shares issued to Fusion Capital as a commitment fee), Fusion Capital at any time, including in the event that more than 10 million shares are issuable to Fusion Capital under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.
Our common stock is thinly traded and thinly traded stock can be more volatile than common stock traded in an active market. Our common stock could experience significant price and volume fluctuations, especially as Fusion Capital sells shares of our common stock purchased from us pursuant to the daily sales under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. Further, each daily sale of our common stock to Fusion Capital pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement could make a subsequent days sale to Fusion Capital a more dilutive to existing stockholders by decreasing the price of the common stock for the subsequent days sale.
Our Right To Suspend Purchases
We have the unconditional right to suspend purchases at any time for any reason effective upon one trading days notice. Any suspension would remain in effect until our revocation of the suspension. To the extent we need to use the cash proceeds of the sales of common stock under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement for working capital or other business purposes, we do not intend to restrict purchases under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.
Our Right To Increase and Decrease the Daily Purchase Amount
Under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement Fusion Capital has agreed to purchase on each trading day during the 32 month term of the agreement, $12.5 thousand of our common stock or an aggregate of $8.0 million. We have the unconditional right to decrease the daily amount to be purchased by Fusion Capital at any time for any reason effective upon one trading days notice. In our discretion, we may elect to sell more of our common stock to Fusion Capital than the minimum daily amount.
46
We also have the right to increase the daily purchase amount as the market price of our common stock increases. Specifically, for every $0.10 increase in Threshold Price, above $0.75, the Company shall have the right to increase the daily purchase amount by up to an additional $3 thousand. For example, if the Threshold Price is $1.55 we would have the right to increase the daily purchase amount to up to an aggregate of $36.5 thousand. The Threshold Price is the lowest sale price of our common stock during the five trading days immediately preceding our notice to Fusion Capital to increase the daily purchase amount. If at any time during any trading day the sale price of our common stock is below the Threshold Price, the applicable increase in the daily purchase amount will be void.
Our Termination Rights
We have the unconditional right at any time for any reason to give notice to Fusion Capital terminating the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. Such notice shall be effective one trading day after Fusion Capital receives such notice.
Effect of Performance of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement on our Shareholders
All shares registered in this offering will be freely tradable. It is anticipated that shares registered in this offering will be sold over a period of up to 32 months from the date of this prospectus. The sale of a significant amount of shares registered in this offering at any given time could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline and to be highly volatile. Fusion Capital may ultimately purchase all of the shares of common stock issuable under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, and it may sell some, some or all of the shares of common stock it acquires upon purchase. Therefore, the purchases under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. However, we have the right at any time for any reason to: (1) reduce the daily purchase amount, (2) suspend purchases of the common stock by Fusion Capital and (3) terminate the Common Stock Purchase Agreement .
No Short-Selling or Hedging by Fusion Capital
Fusion Capital has agreed that neither it nor any of its affiliates shall engage in any direct or indirect short-selling or hedging of our common stock during any time prior to the termination of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.
Events of Default
Generally, Fusion Capital may terminate the Common Stock Purchase Agreement without any liability or payment to the Company upon the occurrence of any of the following events of default:
| the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part of lapses for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) or is unavailable to Fusion Capital for sale of our common stock offered hereby and such lapse or unavailability continues for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days or for more than an aggregate of thirty (30) trading days in any 365-day period; |
| suspension by our principal market of our common stock from trading for a period of three consecutive trading days; |
| the de-listing of our common stock from our principal market provided our common stock is not immediately thereafter trading on the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq National SmallCap Market, the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange; |
| the transfer agents failure for five trading days to issue to Fusion Capital shares of our common stock which Fusion Capital is entitled to under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement; |
| any material breach of the representations or warranties or covenants contained in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement or any related agreements which has or which could have a material adverse affect on us subject to a cure period of ten trading days; |
| any participation or threatened participation in insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings by or against us. |
47
Commitment Shares Issued to Fusion Capital
Under the terms of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement Fusion Capital has received 486,816 shares of our common stock as a commitment fee. On March 15, 2005, this Common Stock Purchase Agreement was mutually terminated by the Company and Fusion Capital. On March 16, 2005, the Company and Fusion Capital entered into a new Common Stock Purchase Agreement. In connection with each purchase of our common stock by Fusion Capital, we will issue, on a pro-rata basis, up to an aggregate of 486,815 shares of common stock to Fusion Capital as an additional commitment fee. If these shares were issued as of March 4, 2005, they would have a value of approximately $1.1 million as of that date. These additional shares will be issued pro rata based on the proportion that a dollar amount purchased by Fusion bears to the $8.0 million aggregate amount under the purchase agreement with Fusion Capital. Unless an event of default occurs, these shares must be held by Fusion Capital until 32 months from the date of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement or the date the Common Stock Purchase Agreement is terminated. The economic effect of the commitment shares is that it equates to a lower average purchase price that Fusion Capital must pay for its shares of Global Med common stock. In addition, as these additional commitment fee shares are issued to Fusion Capital, existing shareholders will experience greater dilution.
The Company will issue to Fusion Capital a pro rata portion of the 486,815 commitment shares each time Fusion Capital purchases stock under the terms of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. Therefore, as Fusion Capital purchases the $8 million in common stock, they will receive the commitment shares. For every $100 thousand in purchases of stock by Fusion, Global Med will issue Fusion Capital approximately 6,085 shares of common stock as commitment shares. These shares will be in addition to those purchased for $100 thousand. For example, if Fusion Capital buys stock from Global Med at $1.50 per share and Global Med has increased Fusions requirement for daily purchases to the maximum, Fusion Capital would be required to buy $33.5 thousand shares worth of stock. This translates into 22,333 shares of common that Fusion would receive. In addition, to the 22,333 shares, Fusion would receive 2,038 commitment shares for that day. The additional commitment shares issued and the number of shares purchased will be combined and the total shares received by Fusion Capital will be valued equally and accounted for in the Companys balance sheet based on the net proceeds received from Fusion Capital.
The following table sets forth several examples of the number of commitment shares Fusion Capital would receive based on their daily purchase amounts:
Common Stock Purchase Price |
Daily Purchase Amount |
Number of Shares Purchased |
Commitment Shares Issued |
Total Common Shares Received | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
$ 0.75 | $12,500 | 16,667 | 761 | 17,428 | |||||
$ 1.00 | $18,500 | 18,500 | 1,126 | 19,626 | |||||
$ 1.50 | $33,500 | 22,333 | 2,039 | 24,372 | |||||
$ 2.00 | $48,500 | 24,250 | 2,951 | 27,201 | |||||
$ 2.50 | $63,500 | 25,400 | 3,864 | 29,264 |
No Variable Priced Financings
Until the termination of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, we have agreed not to issue, or enter into any agreement with respect to the issuance of, any variable priced equity or variable priced equity-like securities unless we have obtained Fusion Capitals prior written consent.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The common stock offered by this prospectus is being offered by selling stockholders. The common stock may be sold or distributed from time to time by the selling stockholders directly to one or more purchasers or through brokers, dealers, or underwriters who may act solely as agents, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices, or at fixed prices, which may be changed. The sale of the common stock offered by this prospectus may be effected in one or more of the following methods:
o | ordinary brokers transactions; |
o | transactions involving cross or block trades or otherwise on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board; |
o | through brokers, dealers or underwriters who may act solely as agents; |
o | at the market into an existing market for the common stock; |
o | in other ways not involving market makers or established trading markets, including direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents; |
55
o | in privately negotiated transactions; or |
o | any combination of the foregoing. |
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares may be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states, the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and complied with.
Brokers, dealers, underwriters, or agents participating in the distribution of the shares as agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts, or concessions from the selling stockholders and/or purchasers of the common stock for whom the broker-dealers may act as agent. The compensation paid to a particular broker-dealer may be less than or in excess of customary commissions.
Fusion Capital, a selling stockholder, is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Neither we nor the selling stockholders can presently estimate the amount of compensation that any agent will receive. We know of no existing arrangements between the selling stockholders, any other stockholders, broker, dealer, underwriter, or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares. At the time a particular offer of shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed that will set forth the names of any agents, underwriters, or dealers and any compensation from the selling stockholders and any other required information.
We will pay all of the expenses incident to the registration, offering, and sale of the shares to the public other than commissions or discounts of underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents. We have also agreed to indemnify Fusion Capital against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is therefore, unenforceable.
Fusion Capital and its affiliates have agreed not to engage in any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of our common stock during the term of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.
We have advised the selling stockholders that while they are engaged in a distribution of the shares included in this prospectus they are required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes the selling stockholders, any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in the distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares offered hereby this prospectus.
This offering will terminate on the date that all shares offered by this prospectus have been sold by the selling stockholders.
56
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE
Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market following this offering could negatively affect the market price of our common stock. Such sales could also impair our future ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.
At the time of this Prospectus, we have outstanding 27,672,056 shares of our common stock. Of these shares, approximately:
o | 26,811,287 shares will be freely tradable by persons, other than "affiliates", without restriction under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and |
o | 860,769 shares will be "restricted" securities, within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be sold in the absence of registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless an exemption from registration is available, including the exemption provided by Rule 144. As of March 4, 2005, 16,353,357 shares are held by affiliates of Global Med, and may only be sold pursuant to Rule 144. |
In general, under Rule 144, a person or persons whose shares are aggregated, including any affiliate of Global Med who has beneficially owned restricted securities for at least one year, would be entitled to sell within any three-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed 1% of the number of common stock then outstanding.
Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about our Global Med. Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not considered to have been an affiliate of Global Med at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned restricted securities for at least two years, including the holding period of any prior owner except an affiliate of Global Med, may sell these shares without following the terms of Rule 144.
57
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
Our authorized capital stock consists of 90 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 10 million shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of March 4, 2005, 27,672,056 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding and 3.5 million shares of our Series AA preferred stock were issued and outstanding. In this offering, we may issue up to an additional 10,486,815 shares of common stock, all of such common stock to be issued in connection with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Fusion Capital. The rights and preferences of the preferred stock will be determined upon issuance by our Board of Directors. The following description is a summary of our capital stock and contains the material terms thereof. Additional information can be found in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, which were filed as exhibits to our registration statement on Form SB-2 filed on September 11, 1996 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and amended on March 15, 2001 in our Schedule 14A.
Common Stock
We are registering 50,724,329 shares of common stock. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters on which shareholders may vote. Directors are divided into three classes with staggered terms of office. Directors are elected by a majority of the votes present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Shareholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes in the election of directors. Since our common stock does not have cumulative voting rights, the holders of shares having more than 50% of the voting power, if they choose to do so, may elect all our directors and the holders of the remaining shares would not be able to elect any directors. In the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation of our company, all shareholders are entitled to a pro rata distribution of our assets remaining after payment of claims of creditors and liquidation preferences of any preferred stock. Holders of our common stock have no conversion, redemption or sinking fund rights.
Preferred Stock
The designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of the Series AA Preferred Stock and BB Preferred Stock are set forth in Global Med's Articles of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation dated June 10, 2004.
Series AA Preferred Stock. As of the date of this prospectus, there are 3,500,000 shares of our Series AA Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding. The Series AA Preferred Stock can be converted by GMIL into common stock of Global Med at any time at a conversion rate of (2.222) shares of common stock for each shares of Series AA Preferred Stock. The Series AA is senior to the Series BB, Series A and the common stock of Global Med and has a liquidation preference of $1.00 per share.
Options. As of the date of this prospectus, there are 9,129,442 options outstanding to purchase the same number of common shares of the Company's stock. All of these options, with the exception of 220,000, have underlying common shares with registration rights. The weighted average exercise price of these options is approximately $0.78. The range of exercise prices for these options is $0.45 to $3.75 per share. The weighted average remaining life of these options is approximately 5 years.
Warrants. As of the date of this prospectus, there are 13,289,730 warrants to purchase the same number of common shares of the Company's stock. None of the outstanding warrants currently have registration rights. The Company is pursuing registration rights for all of these warrants in this registration statement. The weighted average exercise price of these options is approximately $0.48. The range of exercise prices for these options is $0.25 to $1.25 per share. The weighted-average remaining life of these warrants is approximately 5.6 years.
58
Limitation Of Liability; Indemnification
The Colorado Business Corporation Act (the Act) generally allows for the indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents of a corporation against liabilities incurred in any proceeding in which an individual is made a party because he was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation if such person conducted himself in good faith and reasonably believed his actions were in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Global Meds Articles of Incorporation provide that Global Med (i) shall indemnify and advance expenses to a director or officer in connection with a proceeding to the fullest extent permitted or required by and in accordance with the Act, and (ii) may, as determined by the Board of Directors in a specific instance or by resolution of general application, indemnify and advance expense to an employee, fiduciary or agent in connection with a proceeding to the extent permitted or required by and in accordance with the Act.
Global Meds Bylaws provide that a director of Global Med shall perform his or her duties as a director, including his or her duties as a member of any committee of the Board upon which he or she may serve, in good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation, and with such care as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. In performing his or her duties, a director shall be entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, in each case prepared or presented by persons and groups listed below; but he or she shall not be considered to be acting in good faith if he or she has knowledge concerning the matter in question that would cause such reliance to be unwarranted. A person who so performs his or her duties shall not have any liability by reason of being or having been a director of the corporation. Those persons and groups on whose information, opinions, reports, and statements a director is entitled to rely upon are:
(a) one or more officers or employees of Global Med whom the director reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented;
(b) Counsel, public accountants, or other persons as to matters which the director reasonably believes to be within such persons' professional or expert competence; or
(c) A committee of the Board upon which he or she does not serve, duly designated in accordance with the provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, as to matters within its designated authority, which committee the director reasonably believes to merit confidence.
The foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Act and Global Med's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled or subsequently acquire under any statute, provision of Global Med's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to Global Med's directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Global Med has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Board
of Directors and Stockholders
Global
Med Technologies, Inc. and subsidiary
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Global Med Technologies, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders deficit and cash flows for the three years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002. Our audit also included the Financial Statement Schedule II for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Med Technologies, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the three years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related Financial Statement Schedule II for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects the information set forth herein.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
On May 23, 1995, The Wyndgate Group, Limited (Wyndgate) merged with National MRO, Inc. (National MRO) and National MRO changed its name to Global Data Technologies, Inc., which subsequently changed its name to Global Med Technologies, Inc. Global Med Technologies, Inc. provides information management software products and services to the health care industry. Wyndgate operates as a division of Global Med Technologies, Inc. and designs, develops, markets and supports information management software products for blood banks, hospitals, centralized transfusion centers and other healthcare related facilities.
During 1999, Global Med Technologies, Inc. formed a subsidiary, PeopleMed.com, Inc. (PeopleMed), a Colorado corporation, which is approximately 83% owned by the Company to develop a software application designed to give HMO providers and other third party payers access to clinical information for chronic disease patients. This application allows doctors and other medical employees access to a patients history. Approximately 13% of PeopleMed is owned by certain officers and directors of Global Med Technologies, Inc. The remaining 4% of PeopleMed common shares are owned by unaffiliated shareholders. Global Med Technologies, Inc. and PeopleMed are referred to collectively as the Company or Global Med. The Company operates in two separate business segments (see note 10).
RELATED PARTIES
Global Med is financed primarily through lending arrangements with Global Med International Limited (GMIL). These lending arrangements were originated by eBanker USA.com, Inc., (eBanker) transferred, along with eBankers ownership in Global Med, to Global Med China & Asia Limited (GMCAL) in October 2002, and then the lending arrangements were transferred to GMIL in September 2003. Until November 28, 2001, eBanker was a consolidated subsidiary of eVision International, Inc. (eVision). eVision is majority owned by China Credit Holdings Limited (China Credit formerly Heng Fung Holdings Limited)and its subsidiaries, Online Credit Limited and Heng Fung Singapore Pte. Limited. Currently, GMCAL is a shareholder of Global Med. Until November 2001, eVision was also a shareholder of Global Med. eBanker through its subsidiary, GMCAL, is a shareholder of Global Med. Additionally, eVision and GMCAL each hold warrants to acquire 1 million and 11.186 million shares, respectively, of Global Meds common stock with exercise prices that range from $0.25-$0.50 per share. As discussed further below in the accompanying financial statements, in November 2000, eBanker and Global Med entered into a series of equity transactions that resulted in Global Med becoming a consolidated subsidiary of eBanker and eVision effective November 2000.
On November 28, 2001, the shareholders of eVision approved a transaction which transferred certain of the assets of eVision to Online Credit as satisfaction of the certain obligations eVision had with Online Credit. As a result, all of Global Meds common shares held by eVision and all eBankers common shares and warrants held by eVision were transferred to Online Credit. Consequently, as of November 28, 2001, Global Med remained a consolidated entity of eBanker for accounting purposes; however, eBanker was then directly controlled by Online Credit instead of eVision.
During 2004, 2003 and 2002, eVision provided the Company with various support services. The Company recognized $21 thousand, $48 thousand, and $52 thousand, respectively, in general and administrative expenses related to these services. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company had accrued $113 thousand and $92 thousand in accrued liabilities, respectively, on the balance sheets related to these periods. During 2004, 2003, and 2002, the Company incurred $259 thousand, $508 thousand, and $460 thousand, respectively, in interest charges from related parties. Global Med International Holdings Limited (GMIHL) is a subsidiary of eBanker. The Company incurred $0, $24 thousand, and $12 thousand in interest charges from GMIHL during 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. During 2004, 2003, and 2002, all of the Companys financing costs were derived from arrangements with eBanker, GMCAL, GMIL or GMIHL.
F-11
As of June 21, 2002, the Companys Board of Directors had independently approved loans to a related party totaling $370 thousand. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Companys Notes Receivable, related party balance, increased $290 thousand to a total of $370 thousand as a result of funds advanced in the form of promissory notes to this entity controlled by a director, now formerly a director, of the Company, Jeff Busch. The notes bear interest at 12% per year and mature in 2006. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company had lent $80 thousand to this entity. In addition, the CEO and Chairman of Global Med, Michael I. Ruxin, was also on the board of directors of this entity controlled by Jeff Busch. Dr. Ruxin resigned as a director of the related entity effective December 12, 2002. Jeff Busch resigned his position as a director of the Company and PeopleMed effective December 12, 2002. As a result, Jeff Busch and the entity controlled by Jeff Busch are no longer related parties of the Company. On March 10, 2003 the Companys Board of Directors approved and subsequently funded additional loans to the entity controlled by Jeff Busch in the amount of $30 thousand.
Prior to the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company, had a valuation allowance on all of the interest income associated with the note receivable discussed above. Although the financial status of the entity that was lent the $400 thousand notes receivable did not warrant a reserve for the principal amount of the notes receivable because the Company believed no impairment existed, no interest income was recognized prior to the fourth quarter of 2003. Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company, which prior to this had not received any monies from the entity to whom the note receivable was lent, received $42 thousand from this entity for services to be performed. Based on the improvements in the entities financial status and the receipt of monies from the entity, the Company effectively removed the valuation allowance from the interest income on the note receivable. The Company recognized $48 thousand in interest on this note receivable during the year ended December 31, 2004. Of the $81 thousand in interest income recognized in 2003, $27 thousand and $7 thousand related to interest income for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
As a result of these transactions and relationships, the financial condition and results of operations Global Med may not necessarily by indicative of those that would have resulted if Global Med were unaffiliated with the related party entities mentioned above.
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Global Med and its majority-owned subsidiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. There is no minority interest reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2004 and 2003 because PeopleMed had a stockholders deficit.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Companys management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the accompanying financial statements, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
F-12
CREDIT RISK AND MARKET RISK
Accounts receivable at December 31, 2004 and 2003 are derived from SafeTrace and from SafeTrace Tx sales and related services to blood centers and blood center service providers located in the United States and internationally. The International amounts are not material. Historically, the Company has not required collateral or other security to support customer receivables. In order to reduce credit risk, the Company requires substantial down payments and progress payments during the course of an installation of its software products. The Company establishes allowances for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk specific to customers.
The Company has customers located in numerous locations across the United States and Puerto Rico and sales are not concentrated in any geographic or economic region. The Company also has international customers in Africa and Canada. PeopleMeds customer is located in the State of Colorado.
ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLES AND ACCRUED REVENUES
The Company regularly evaluates the collectibility of its trade accounts receivable and unbilled receivables balances based on a combination of factors. The Company establishes a general reserve for accounts receivable. In addition, when a customers account becomes past due, the Company initiates dialogue with the customer to determine the cause. If it is determined that the customer will be unable to meet its financial obligation, such as in the case of a bankruptcy filing, deterioration in the customers operating results or financial position or other material events impacting their business, the Company records a specific reserve for bad debt to reduce the related receivable to the amount it expects to recover given all information presently available. The Company also records reserves for bad debt for all other customers based on certain other factors including the length of time the receivables are past due and historical collection experience with individual customers. If circumstances related to specific customers change, our estimates of the recoverability of receivables could materially change. The Companys allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable and unbilled receivables totaled $113 thousand and $125 thousand, respectively, at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and is included on the consolidated balance sheet as a reduction of accounts receivable and accrued revenues.
EQUIPMENT, FURNITURE AND FIXTURES
Equipment, furniture and fixtures are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization, which includes amortization of assets under capital leases, is based on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from three to five years.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset are less than its carrying value. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset, which is generally determined using valuation techniques such as discounted present value of expected future cash flows. Management does not believe current events or circumstances indicate that the Companys long-lived assets are impaired at December 31, 2004 or 2003.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed, the Company capitalizes software development and production costs once technological feasibility has been achieved. Software development costs incurred prior to achieving technological feasibility are included in research and development expense in the accompanying statements of operations.
F-13
Capitalized software development costs are reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Commencing upon the initial product release or when software development revenue has begun to be recognized, these costs are amortized, based on current and future revenue for each product with an annual minimum equal to the straight-line amortization over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, generally three to four years. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company recorded approximately $37 thousand, $344 thousand, and $481 thousand, of amortization, of software development costs, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company wrote down approximately $77 thousand in costs associated with capitalized software development for certain PeopleMed products. These costs related to the underlying protocols that could be used in PeopleMeds software. The protocols were received in January of 2002 and as of December 31, 2003 had not been incorporated into PeopleMeds software, and the Company has no current plans to do so. This expense was included in software amortization during 2003.
During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, the Company did not capitalize any costs related to SafeTrace Tx. The Company discontinued capitalizing costs related to this product during this period, because the remaining period for amortizing software development costs was less than one year. The Company will continue to not capitalize additional software development costs for SafeTrace Tx until such time as the product life cycle is revised.
During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company received $149 thousand in funded software development from a PeopleMed customer in conjunction with the development of software for this customer. This funding reduced the capitalized software development costs associated with this product. The Company did not capitalize any software development costs for PeopleMed during 2004, as the current product is deemed to be mature and enhancements are for an existing customer under the terms of their support agreement.
NONCOMPETE AGREEMENTS
In 1996, the Company entered into non-compete agreements with certain key employees. The provisions of these non-compete agreements with these employees have expired. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, $35 thousand remains payable whenever sufficient cash flow, as defined, is available as determined by the Companys Board of Directors.
INCOME TAXES
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 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. A valuation allowance is required to the extent any deferred tax assets may not be realizable.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair value of a financial instrument represents the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. Significant differences can arise between the fair value and carrying amount of financial instruments that are recognized at historical cost amounts. The fair value of the Companys debt instruments approximates fair value based on the Companys current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. Also, the carrying amounts of the Companys financial assets approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these items.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (SOP) No. 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition."
The Companys standard software license agreement for the Companys products provides for an initial fee to use the product in perpetuity up to a maximum number of users. Fees from software licenses are recognized as revenue upon shipment, provided fees are fixed and determinable and collection is probable. Fees from licenses sold together with consulting services are generally recognized upon shipment provided that the above criteria have been met, payment of the license fees is not dependent upon the performance of the consulting services and the consulting services are not essential to the functionality of the licensed software. In instances in which the consulting services are not essential to the functionality of the software but payment of the license fee is due at the earlier of the performance of specific consulting services or the passage of time, the license fee is recognized ratably over the anticipated period of performance of the services or ratably over the license fee billing period, whichever is more readily determinable. If the consulting services are essential to the functionality of the product or any portion of the payment of the license fee is contingent solely upon the performance of consulting services, license fees are recognized ratably over the anticipated period of performance of the consulting services.
For arrangements with multiple elements, we allocate revenue to each element of a transaction based upon its fair value as determined by vendor specific objective evidence. Vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for all elements of an arrangement is based upon the normal pricing and discounting practices for those products and services when sold separately and for software license updates and product support services, is additionally measured by the renewal rate offered to the customer. We may modify our pricing practices in the future, which could result in changes in our vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for these undelivered elements. As a result, our future revenue recognition for multi-element arrangements could differ significantly from our historical results.
If an arrangement does not qualify for separate accounting of the software license and consulting transactions, then new software license revenue is generally recognized together with the consulting services based on contract accounting using the percentage-of-completion method. Contract accounting is generally applied to arrangements when services include significant modification or customization of the software. Progress towards completion is generally measure based on hours incurred versus projected total hours.
Certain of the Companys contracts include warranties that provide for refunds of all or a portion of the software license and or other fees in the event that the Company is unable to provide maintenance services, for which there is a separate fee, for the contractually prescribed period. Contracts with these provisions are accounted for in accordance with the policies above.
The Company provides consulting services that include implementation, training and the performance of other services to its customers. Revenue from such services is generally recognized ratably over the period during which the applicable service is to be performed.
If the Company enters into arrangements with a client requiring significant customization of the software that is essential to the functionality of the software, the Company recognizes revenue derived from the sale of licensed software, sub-licensed software as the customization is performed, in accordance with the AICPA Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition.
Support agreements generally call for the Company to provide technical support and software updates, on a when-and-if-available basis to customers. Revenue on technical support and software update rights is recognized ratably over the term of the support agreement.
F-15
Revenues from the re-sale of hardware and software, obtained from vendors, is recognized at the time the hardware and software are delivered to customers.
PeopleMed has contracts that include fixed fee and per-member fees. The Company recognizes revenues from these contracts as services are provided.
Non-Cash Settlements
In April 2003, the Company signed an agreement with its SafeTrace Tx development partner, The Institute for Transfusion Medicine (ITXM), related to ITXMs purchase of certain software from the Company. In addition to certain cash consideration for the software purchase, ITXM agreed to relinquish any rights that ITXM had to existing and future royalties. As of April 2003, the Company owed ITXM approximately $121 thousand for royalties on the sale of SafeTrace Tx. In addition, ITXM relinquished its right to receive future royalties on SafeTrace Tx sales which were assessed at 4% of the net software license fee. ITXM, as part of this agreement, also relinquished the right to receive future upgrades and maintenance and support that were part of a January 1998 settlement agreement associated with the development of SafeTrace Tx. The remaining value of these penalties as of the signing of the agreement was approximately $267 thousand and was previously included in deferred revenue. As a result, the Company recognized approximately $388 thousand in revenues as a result of the reduction in liabilities associated with the delivery of certain software to ITXM. Therefore, for the year ended December 31, 2003, approximately $388 thousand in revenues related to this non-cash consideration is included in the Companys statement of operations.
In June 2003, the Company signed a settlement agreement (the Settlement Agreement) with Ortho Clinical Diagnostics, Inc. (Ortho), whereby by all of the Companys outstanding obligations to and from Ortho were released. As a result, the Company was released from its obligation to provide Ortho with $500 thousand in software development work for which it had received payment from Ortho in 1997 as part of the exclusivity agreement the Company signed with Ortho in 1997. In addition, the Company was released from all other obligations to Ortho which included liabilities amounting to approximately $36 thousand for sales distribution commissions. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company recognized $500 thousand in revenues associated with this Settlement Agreement and Orthos waiver of its right to software development services and a reduction in sales and marketing expenses of $36 thousand associated with the release of the Company from its obligation to pay commissions to Ortho for prior sales. Therefore, for the year ended December 31, 2003, approximately $500 thousand in revenues related to this non-cash consideration is included in the Companys statement of operations.
The Companys Manufacturers Representative and Software Development Agreement (OCD Agreement) signed with Ortho during June 1999 expired in June 2003. The Company has no outstanding software development or marketing agreements with Ortho at the present time.
During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company had one Wyndgate customer that accounted for $677 thousand or 10.4% of revenues. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company had one PeopleMed customer that accounted for 15.4% or $1.022 million, of the Companys revenues. Of the $1.022 million in revenues, $500 thousand was attributable to the customer terminating a five-year contract with PeopleMed.
On December 19, 2002, Global Meds subsidiary, PeopleMed, signed a termination agreement (the Termination Agreement) with a significant customer (Significant Customer) to terminate the five (5) year Chronic Disease Management Purchase Agreement between PeopleMed and the Significant Customer that was set to expire on December 31, 2005. The Termination Agreement is Effective December 1, 2002. As part of the Termination Agreement, the Significant Customer paid PeopleMed a termination fee of $800 thousand. Of the $800 thousand termination fee, an amount not to exceed $350 thousand was potentially refundable to the Significant Customer in the event that the Significant Customer provides PeopleMed with a replacement customer(s) that will meet certain prescribed criteria which includes use of the Chronic Disease Management software. In the event that the Significant Customer did not provide a suitable replacement customer, the potential refund of $350 thousand, as prescribed in the Termination Agreement, was to be reduced by $50 thousand per month starting December 1, 2002 and terminating June 30, 2003. For the year ended December 31, 2003, PeopleMed recognized $300 thousand in revenues related to the Termination Agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2002, Global Med recognized $500 thousand in revenues associated with this Termination Agreement. The Significant Customer paid PeopleMed an $800 thousand termination fee as follows: $350 thousand during 2002 and $450 thousand during 2003. No money was refunded to the Significant Customer.
F-16
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company signed an agreement whereby the Company was paid $265 thousand to terminate an agreement. The Company recognized approximately $145 thousand in maintenance revenue during the year ended December 31, 2004, as a result of this agreement. In addition, general and administrative expenses were reduced by the remainder.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development funding by others is deferred and offset against capitalizable costs. Funded research and development in excess of capitalizable costs is recognized as contract research and development when the related product is ready for commercial release.
SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS
During the year ended December 31, 2004, there were no customers who accounted for more than 10% of revenues. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company had one Wyndgate customer that accounted for $677 thousand or 10.4% of revenues. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company had one PeopleMed customer that accounted for 15.4% or $1.022 million, of the Companys revenues. Of the $1.022 million in revenues, $500 thousand was attributable to the customer terminating a five-year contract with PeopleMed.
LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic loss per common share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted net loss per common share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could participate in the earnings unless their effort is antidilutive. Stock options, warrants outstanding and their equivalents are included in diluted computations through the treasury stock method unless they are antidilutive. Convertible securities are included in diluted computations through the if converted method unless they are antidilutive. Common share equivalents are excluded from the computation, as their effect would be antidilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 approximately 9.6 million, 1.2 million, and 4.2 million, equivalent dilutive securities (primarily convertible preferred stock, common stock options, and warrants), respectively, have been excluded from the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the diluted net loss per share computations as they are antidilutive.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
At December 31, 2003 the Company has several stock-based compensation plans, which are described more fully in Notes 6 and 7. The Company has adopted the disclosure method provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. As permitted under SFAS No. 123, the Company continues to account for stock-based compensation for awards to employees under the intrinsic value based method of accounting as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB No. 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Stock based compensation paid to consultants and other non-employees is accounted for at fair value under the provisions of SFAS No. 123. In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure (SFAS 148), which provides for alternative methods to transition to the fair value method of accounting for stock options in accordance with provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 requires disclosure of the effects of an entitys accounting policy with respect to stock-based compensation on reported net income and earnings per share in annual and interim financial statements. The transition provisions of SFAS 148 are currently not applicable to us as we continue to account for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25.
F-17
Had compensation cost for the Companys stock-based compensation plans been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Companys pro forma amounts would have been as indicated in $(000s) except per share data:

The estimated value of the total options granted during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 were $165 thousand, $46 thousand, and $1.612 million, respectively.
The estimated fair value compensation expense associated with the options granted during 2004, 2003, and 2002, and their respective portions vesting were $13 thousand, $34 thousand, and $98 thousand, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.
The weighted-average estimated fair value of employee stock options granted during 2004, 2003, and 2002 were $0.55, $0.68, and $0.58, per share, respectively. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the five year vesting period.
RECENTLY ISSUED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In December 2004 the FASB issued revised SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R), which replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (SFAS 123) and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values beginning with the first interim or annual period after June 15, 2005, with early adoption encouraged. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. Global Med is currently required to adopt SFAS 123R in the third quarter of fiscal 2005, beginning July 1, 2005. Under SFAS 123R, Global Med must determine the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments, the amortization method for compensation cost and the transition method to be used at date of adoption. The transition methods include prospective and retroactive adoption options. Under the retroactive option, prior periods may be restated either as of the beginning of the year of adoption or for all periods presented. The prospective method requires that compensation expense be recorded for all unvested stock options and restricted stock at the beginning of the first quarter of adoption of SFAS 123R, while the retroactive methods would record compensation expense for all unvested stock options and restricted stock beginning with the first period restated. The Global Med is evaluating the requirements of SFAS 123R and expects that the adoption of SFAS 123R will have a material impact on the Companys consolidated results of operations and earnings per share.
F-18
Global Med has not yet determined the method of adoption or the effect of adopting SFAS 123R, and it has not determined whether the adoption will result in amounts that are similar to the current pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123.
In December 2004 the FASB issued SFAS No. 153 Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. SFAS No. 153 amends APB Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 is to be applied prospectively for nonmonetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Our adoption of SFAS No. 153 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2003 and 2002 financial statement to conform to the 2004 presentation.
NOTE 2. FINANCING AGREEMENTS, RELATED PARTY
Financing Agreements With Related Parties
Debt Conversion
Pursuant to a Loan Restructuring and Restatement Agreement between Global Med and eBanker of which GMIL is a subsidiary, dated November 19, 2000, as amended (the Agreement), Global Med was required to repay $3.829 million, which amount included all principal, interest and other charges due under the Agreement (except for $96 thousand in extension interest payments and accrued interest thereon due on July 1, 2004), on or before March 1, 2004. By an Assignment dated July 4, 2002, eBanker assigned the Agreement to Global Med International Holdings Limited (GMIHL), a subsidiary of eBanker and parent company of GMIL. By an Assignment dated July 4, 2002, GMIHL assigned the Agreement to GMIL. By an Assignment dated October 28, 2002, GMIL assigned the Agreement to GMCAL, a subsidiary of GMIL. By an Assignment dated September 19, 2003, GMCAL assigned the Agreement to GMIL. Pursuant to a Loan and Promissory Note between Global Med and GMIHL dated June 18, 2002, as previously amended (the Note), Global Med was required to repay GMIHL $200 thousand, which amount included all principal, interest and other charges due under the Note (except for $12 thousand in extension interest payments due on July 1, 2004), on or before March 1, 2004. GMIHL has assigned the Note to GMIL. The total debt owed by Global Med to GMIL under the Agreement and the Note (except for the $96 thousand in extension interest payments and accrued interest thereon due on July 1, 2004 and the $12 thousand in extension interest payments due on July 1, 2004, referenced above) (the Debt) was $4.029 million at December 31, 2003.
On April 14, 2004, Global Med International Limited (GMIL) and Global Med amended their existing financing agreements and entered into an agreement to combine the outstanding $3.829 million and $200 thousand debt agreements. The combined loan of $4.029 million was then separated into two parts: $529 thousand was converted into debt (Remaining Debt) and $3.5 million was converted into $1 par value Series AA Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (Preferred Stock). (See note 6 for further discussion of the preferred stock. ) The due date of the Remaining Debt is March 1, 2006. The interest rate on the Remaining Debt is 15% per year and interest on this debt is due and payable quarterly on March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1 of each year until the Remaining Debt is paid in full. The Remaining Debt is secured by all of Global Meds assets and is subject to the outstanding terms of November 19, 2000 financing agreement (Loan Agreement). As of April 14, 2004, Global Med had paid GMIL $287 thousand of the $287 thousand extension fee. At December 31, 2004, principal of $529 thousand and accrued interest of $69 thousand was outstanding under the terms of the Remaining Debt agreement.
F-19
Under the terms of the Remaining Debt and Preferred Stock Agreements, the personal guaranty of Dr. Michael I. Ruxin, the Companys Chairman and CEO, remains in effect until both the Preferred Stock and Remaining Debt and any related dividends or interest, respectively, are paid. Unless Global Med is in default of the Remaining Debt or Preferred Stock agreements, Dr. Ruxins personal guaranty is limited to the debt and related interest and will not exceed $650 thousand and will remain in effect until the total Remaining Debt has been fully paid or satisfied. The agreements also contain the following provisions:
o | Global Med agrees to register with the SEC all unregistered Global Med shares and shares underlying derivatives regardless of the owner of the shares. |
o | Registration of all Global Med Shares will be maintained and not allowed to lapse. |
o | Remaining Debt and Preferred Stock are not satisfied unless eliminated. |
o | Any future restructuring of the Remaining Debt or Preferred Stock is not a satisfaction of the Remaining Debt or Preferred Stock unless specified in writing by GMIL. |
o | While any of the Remaining Debt or Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company has agreed not to incur any debt in excess of $100 thousand without the written consent of GMIL. |
As part of these agreements, Global Med agreed to indemnify GMIL and its affiliates, including but not limited to GMCAL, GMIHL, eBanker, Online Credit Limited, Heng Fung Singapore Ltd., and China Credit, and their employees, officers, directors, and agents for any legal proceeding that results or stems from GMILs conversion of this debt to Preferred Stock.
In conjunction with the signing of the Remaining Debt and the Preferred Stock Agreement, these agreements preserved the right of GMIL to appoint 5 of 9 members of Global Meds Board of Directors until the Remaining Debt and Preferred Stock have been satisfied. Further, GMIL shall have the right to select a replacement director for any member of the Borrowers Board of Directors that was selected by Lender who resigned or otherwise fails to serve as a director. Global Med agrees not to increase the number of directors above nine except with GMILs written consent. If Global Med defaults on the repayment of any amount borrowed under the financing agreements initiated with eBanker, all of the Board of Directors of Global Med will be required to resign and GMIL will have the right to appoint all new members.
NOTE 3. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Global Med designs, develops, markets and supports information management software products for blood banks, hospitals, centralized transfusion centers and other healthcare related facilities. Global Med currently has customers and recognizes revenues from its proprietary products. However, the number of customers and levels of revenue have not been sufficient for Global Med to attain profitable operations. Global Med has incurred significant cumulative operating losses. Additionally, Global Med currently has an accumulated shareholders deficit. The ultimate success of Global Med is dependent upon a number of factors such as increasing market acceptance of its products, the addition of significant new customers and maintaining effective cost controls, none of which is assured.

NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES
The Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $23.4 million which expire in the years 2008 to 2024. Net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $21 million are subject to limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code due to the various changes in equity ownership during 2000 and 1999.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management concluded that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of future taxable income in the period in which the temporary differences become deductible. The Company has established a valuation allowance for deferred taxes due to the uncertainty that the deferred tax assets will be utilized.

Sales of Common Stock
Private Placements
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company received net proceeds of $549 thousand from the sale of 1.525 million shares of unregistered common stock. The price per share price was $0.40. The Company filed a Form S-1 registration statement to register these shares on December 6, 2004.

Preferred Stock
Series AA
On April 14, 2004 GMIL and Global Med amended their existing financing agreements and entered into an agreement to convert a portion of the outstanding debt totaling $3.5 million into 3.5 million shares of Series AA Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, as discussed in Note 11 in the Form 10-K in the audited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2003. For the period from March 1, 2004 through February 28, 2005, the Series AA Preferred Stock has a dividend yield of 15%. On March 1, 2005, the dividend rate on the Series AA Preferred Stock increases from 15% to 21%. During October 2004, the Company made one dividend payment in the amount of approximately $131 thousand. The remainder of the accrued dividend for the period from March 1, 2004 through February 28, 2005 will be paid in 2005. During 2005, the cash dividends are mandatory and due and payable on March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1 during each quarter the Series AA Preferred Stock is outstanding. The Series AA Preferred Stock can be converted by GMIL into common stock of the Company at any time at a conversion rate of (2.222) shares of common stock for each share of Series AA Preferred Stock. Therefore, the Series AA Preferred Stock is convertible into approximately 7.777 million common shares. At any time after March 1, 2006, the Series AA Preferred Stock is redeemable at GMILs option at $1 per share. The Series AA Preferred Stock is mandatorily redeemable on March 1, 2009. If the cash dividends on the Series AA Preferred Stock are not paid within thirty (30) days after the end of the quarter, at GMILs option, GMIL will be paid in additional Series AA Preferred Stock equal to the value of the outstanding dividend, or common stock at the closing market price for ten (10) days preceding GMILs election.
The Series AA Preferred Stock can be converted into common stock at GMILs option, and GMIL is not able to force redemption of the Series AA Preferred Stock until March 1, 2006. The Company has classified the Series AA Preferred Stock as Mezzanine Equity in these financial statements. The Company will be required to review the classification of the Series AA Preferred Stock on a quarterly basis to determine if the classification as Mezzanine Equity remains appropriate. Such review could result in the Preferred Stock being reclassified as debt prior to March 1, 2006.

Common Stock Purchase Agreement
On October 8, 2004, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement (Purchase Agreement) with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (Fusion Capital), a Chicago based institutional investor, whereby Fusion Capital has agreed to purchase up to $8.0 million of common stock over a 32-month period. Specifically, after the Securities & Exchange Commission has declared effective a registration statement, each month Global Med has the right to sell to Fusion Capital $12,500 of its common stock, per trading day, at a purchase price based upon the market price of Global Meds common stock on the date of each sale without any fixed discount to the market price. The Purchase Agreement with Fusion Capital allows the Company to increase Fusions daily purchase of common stock beyond the $12,500 amount under certain circumstances. For each $0.10 increase in the price of the Companys common stock over $0.75, the Company will have the right but not obligation, to increase the amount purchased by Fusion Capital by $2,500 per day. At the Companys sole option, Fusion Capital can be required to purchase lesser or greater amounts of common stock, within certain ranges, each month up to $8.0 million in the aggregate. The Company has the right to control the timing and the amount of stock sold to Fusion Capital. Global Med also has the right to terminate the agreement at any time without any additional cost. Fusion Capital has agreed not to engage in any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of the common stock in any manner whatsoever.
As part of the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued approximately 487 thousand shares of restricted common stock to Fusion Capital prior to the any purchase of registered shares. In addition, under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to reserve 10 million shares for issuance to Fusion Capital. As Fusion Capital purchases the 10 million shares, the Company will be required to issue an additional 487 thousand shares of common stock ratably as these shares are purchased. The Board of Directors of the Company approved this transaction on September 28, 2004.
On July 7, 2004, the Company executed a preliminary agreement (Preliminary Agreement) with Fusion Capital as a precursor to the Purchase Agreement. As part of the Preliminary Agreement, the Company issued 50 thousand restricted shares of common stock. In addition, the Company agreed to reimburse Fusion Capital for $15 thousand in expenses associated with the transaction discussed above. The Company paid Fusion Capital the $15 thousand in October 2004. The 487 thousand common shares due to Fusion Capital were considered constructively issued on October 8, 2004. The 537 thousand common shares issued to Fusion Capital were valued at $309 thousand based on the market value of the common shares on the constructive date of issuance. This amount is currently in prepaid expenses and other assets and are considered deferred offering costs on the Companys December 31, 2004 balance sheet. On a pro rata basis, the Company will reduce this amount as Fusion Capital purchases common shares under the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
The Colorado Business Corporation Act (the Act) generally allows for the indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents of a corporation against liabilities incurred in any proceeding in which an individual is made a party because he was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation if such person conducted himself in good faith and reasonably believed his actions were in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Global Meds Articles of Incorporation provide that Global Med (i) shall indemnify and advance expenses to a director or officer in connection with a proceeding to the fullest extent permitted or required by and in accordance with the Act, and (ii) may, as determined by the Board of Directors in a specific instance or by resolution of general application, indemnify and advance expense to an employee, fiduciary or agent in connection with a proceeding to the extent permitted or required by and in accordance with the Act.
Global Meds Bylaws provide that a director of Global Med shall perform his or her duties as a director, including his or her duties as a member of any committee of the Board upon which he or she may serve, in good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation, and with such care as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. In performing his or her duties, a director shall be entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, in each case prepared or presented by persons and groups listed below; but he or she shall not be considered to be acting in good faith if he or she has knowledge concerning the matter in question that would cause such reliance to be unwarranted. A person who so performs his or her duties shall not have any liability by reason of being or having been a director of the corporation. Those persons and groups on whose information, opinions, reports, and statements a director is entitled to rely upon are:
(a) one or more officers or employees of Global Med whom the director reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented;
(b) Counsel, public accountants, or other persons as to matters which the director reasonably believes to be within such persons professional or expert competence; or
II-1
(c) A committee of the Board upon which he or she does not serve, duly designated in accordance with the provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, as to matters within its designated authority, which committee the director reasonably believes to merit confidence.
The foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Act and Global Meds Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled or subsequently acquire under any statute, provision of Global Meds Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to Global Meds directors, officers or controlling persons, pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Global Med may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person or entity who or which is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against any liability asserted against or incurred by such person or entity in such capacity or arising out of such persons or entitys status as such, whether or not Global Med would have the power to indemnify such person or entity against such liability under the Act, or the provisions of Global Meds Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.
