PART I
 
ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
Through April 4, 2011, we were an international provider of information network solutions, products and services specifically designed for the healthcare providers and health insurance companies (collectively, the "Health Information Management Products").
 
As outlined below, on April 4, 2011, we sold 100% of our interest in our operating subsidiary.  Accordingly, as April 4, 2011, we are seeking to exploit certain intellectual property and software license Agreements that we retained for business outside of Brazil or acquire, through a merger or similar transaction, an operating business.
 
ORGANIZATION

Transax International Limited ("TNSX" or the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Colorado in 1987. The Company currently trades on the OTCQB  market under the symbol "TNSX" and the Frankfurt and Berlin Stock Exchanges under the symbol "TX6". Prior to April 4, 2011, the Company, through its subsidiary, Medlink Conectividade em Saude Ltda (“Medlink Conectividade”) was an international provider of information network solutions specifically designed for healthcare providers and health insurance companies. The Company's MedLink Solution enables the real time automation of routine patient eligibility, verification, authorizations, claims processing and payment functions.

On March 26, 2008, we executed a stock purchase and option agreement (the “Agreement”) with Engetech, Inc., a Turks & Caicos corporation (the “Buyer”) controlled and owned 20% by Americo de Castro, director and President of Medlink Conectividade, and 80% by Flavio Gonzalez Duarte or assignees. In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Agreement, we sold to the Buyer 45% of the total issued and outstanding stock of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Transax Limited, which owns one hundred percent of the total issued and outstanding shares of: (i) Medlink Conectividade, and (ii) Medlink Technologies, Inc., (“Medlink”) a Mauritius corporation. However, the Buyer defaulted on payments and on November 24, 2010, pursuant to an agreement, the Buyer returned the 45 shares of Transax Limited held in escrow and forfeited its initial deposit of $937,700 in full and complete satisfaction of any amounts due to us.

On April 4, 2011, pursuant to a Quota Purchase and Sale Agreement amongst Transax Limited, QC Holding I Participacoes S.A., a corporation organized under the laws of Brazil (“QC Holding”), and Medlink Conectividade, we sold 100% of our interest in Medlink Conectividade. As such all related operations have been retroactively presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented and related operating assets and liabilities have been classified as assets from discontinued operations and liabilities from discontinued operations, respectively for all periods presented.

In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Agreement: (i) QC Holding acquired the equity interest of Medlink Conectividade resulting in the sale of our operating subsidiary. As consideration for the purchase and sale of 100% of our interest in Medlink Conectividade, QC paid to us approximately $298,000; (ii) QC Holding agreed to assume all debt and other contingent liabilities of Medlink Conectividade, which as of December 31, 2010 was approximately $7,800,000 including $5,300,000 in past taxes and social security contributions due to the Brazil Government; and (iii) QC contributed to Medlink Conectividade approximately $1,402,000 which will be used to repay us approximately $1,402,000 in loans and interest due to our subsidiary, Transax Limited, which owned 100% of Medlink Conectividade.  In accordance with the further terms and provisions of the Agreement, we retained our relevant technology assets consisting of software code and the Postilion network processor software to carry on business outside of Brazil.
 
 
2

 
 
Our board of directors considered the sale of Medlink Conectividade to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Factors considered included (i) the high levels of debt in Medlink Conectividade, (ii) its continuing net operating losses and (iii) reports from Brazil counsel to Medlink Conectividade indicating that immediate tax and social security payments were due to the Brazilian Government of over $1,000,000.

Subsequent to April 4, 2011, we will have no revenues and limited operations consisting of financial reporting, administration and seeking new business opportunities or a merger candidate and further development of the Company’s remaining Intellectual Property especially its HIPAA product developed for the USA market and license agreements

Through Medlink Conectividade, we provide Health Information Management Products within Brazil.  We generated all of our revenues through Medlink Conectividade for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.  We sold 100% of our interest in Medlink Conectividade on April 4, 2011.

GENERAL

As of the date of this Annual Report  we are an international provider of Health Information Management Products, which are specifically designed for the healthcare providers and health insurance companies. We are dedicated to improving healthcare delivery by providing to hospitals, physician practices and health insurance companies innovative health information management systems to assist in the coding, compliance, abstracting and recording of management's processes.

Currently, we are provider of health information management network solutions for the healthcare providers and health insurance companies, enabling the real time automation of routine patient transactions. We believe that our unique combination of complimentary solutions is designed to significantly improve the recording and processing of healthcare data transactions. Our Health Information Management Products and software solutions are designed to generate operational efficiencies, improve cash flow and measure the cost and quality of care. In general, the Health Information Management Products and software solutions, including the MedLink Solution, fall into four (4) main areas: (i) compliance management; (ii) coding and reimbursement management; (iii) abstracting; and (iv) record management.
 
 
3

 

We believe that hospitals and other healthcare providers must implement comprehensive coding and compliance programs in order to minimize payer submission errors and assure the receipt of anticipated revenues. We believe that an effective program should include clear, defined guidelines and procedures, which combined with our Health Information Management Products, will enhance an organization's system and effectively increase revenues and reduce costs. Our Health Information Management Products include compliance management and coding and reimbursement products and software, which are designed to conduct automated prospective and retrospective reviews of all in-patient and out-patient claims data. Management tools include internally designed targets aimed to provide data quality, coding accuracy and appropriate reimbursement.

 These tools work in conjunction with an organization's coding and billing compliance program to:

 
(i)
identify claims with potential errors prior to billing;
 
(ii)
screen professional fees and services; and
 
(iii)
identify patterns in coding and physician documentation.

Results of the auditing and monitoring activities are represented in executive reports summarizing clinical and financial results as well as detailed reports providing information needed to target specific areas for review. Billing practices for health care services are under close scrutiny by governmental agencies as high-risk areas for Medicare fraud and abuse. We believe that the Health Information Management Products will increase an organization's progress in reducing improper payments and ensuring that medical record documentation support services are provided.
 
The Health Information Management Products are also designed to:

 
·
include abstracting solutions, which enable healthcare facilities to accurately collect and report patient demographic and clinical information.
 
·
provide the organization with the ability to calculate in-patient and out-patient hospital reimbursements and customize data fields needed for state, federal or foreign governmental regulatory requirements. Standard and custom reports will provide the customer with the ability to generate facility-specific statistical reports used for benchmarking, outcomes and performance improvement, marketing and planning.
 
·
provide healthcare organizations the flexibility to customize abstracting workflow to meet data collection reporting and analysis needs.
 
·
provide the organization with the ability to customize workflow by creating fields and rules and designing screen navigation.
 
·
provide record management, which will automate the record tracking and location functions, monitor record completeness and facilitate the release of information process within health information management departments.
 
·
assist healthcare organizations in properly completing records pursuant to state, federal, foreign governmental and medical staff requirements. The management tools are designed to monitor a facility's adherence to patient privacy, disclosure and patient bill of rights requirements, if applicable.  

MEDLINK SOLUTION/MEDLINK WEB SOLUTION

We have developed a proprietary software named the   "MedLink Solution", which was specifically designed and developed for the healthcare and health insurance industries enabling the real time automation of routine patient eligibility, verifications, authorizations, claims processing and payment functions that are currently performed manually. A transaction fee is charged to the insurer for use of the MedLink Solution. The MedLink Solution hosts its own network processing system, whereby we are able to provide an insurer with the ability to cost effectively process all of the transactions generated regardless of location or method of generation.

 
4

 

An initial version of MedLink Solution that is Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA") compliant for the USA market  was previously developed in-house by our professional staff using the Microsoft.NET platform (the "MedLink Web Solution").  Our MedLink Web Solution offers all functionalities already available in our other capture solutions, but in an Internet-based application that can be accessed by providers through a standard Internet browser. The MedLink Web Solution allows providers to capture medical and dental exams, procedures, therapies, visits, laboratory tests and doctor referrals without complicated software conversion, utilizing an existing Internet connection. MedLink Web Solution contains a number of important security procedures following international standards, utilizing an intrusion detection system and SSL security to encrypt transactions.  Additional security features are available at the application level to individual users.

We believe that the MedLink Solution and the MedLink Web Solution solves technological and communication problems within the healthcare systems by creating a virtual "paperless office" for the insurer and total connectivity, regardless of method, for the health provider. The MedLink Solution replaces manual medical claims systems and provides insurance companies and healthcare providers significant savings through a substantial reduction in operational costs. The MedLink Solution allows users to collect, authorize and process transaction information in real-time for applications including, but not limited to, patient and provider eligibility verification, procedure authorization and claims and debit processing. Participants of the MedLink Solution include private health insurance companies, group medical companies, and healthcare providers.

MEDLINK SOLUTION ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN

We believe that the MedLink Solution is the total connectivity system that allows hospitals, clinics, medical specialists and other healthcare providers to easily capture, route, and authorize medical, hospital, and dental claims in "real time". The MedLink Solution addresses pre-existing technological and communication problems by creating a universal virtual link between the insurer and the care provider.

The MedLink Solution's architecture and design is as follows: (i) seven capture methods; (ii) a network processor; and (iii) an authorizer.
 
CAPTURE METHODS. The MedLink Solution is tailored to the specific care provider's environment and needs usage based upon its technological resources, physical installation and volume of claims. The MedLink Solution offers seven different methods to capture data. The health care provider can select which of these seven methods best suit its operational needs and technological abilities. Regardless of the capture method chosen, transactions are seamless and efficient. The MedLink Solution's capture methods are:

   o  MedLink Solution POS Terminal;
   o  MedLink Solution PC Windows;
   o  MedLink Solution PC Net;
   o  MedLink Solution Server Labs;
   o  MedLink Solution Web.

NETWORK PROCESSOR. The MedLink Solution network processor routes the transactions captured by the MedLink Solution (the "Network Processor") to the authorization system of the healthcare plan (the "Authorization System"). The Network Processor offers uninterrupted twenty-four (24) hour, seven days a week operation and service.

 
5

 
 
AUTHORIZATION SYSTEM. The Authorization System's software is composed of a control module and a group of storage procedures that validate the specific rules of the health plan or insurer. It is responsible for: (i) receiving and decoding the messages sent by the Network Processor, containing the solicitations of the MedLink Solution installed at the provider; (ii) identification of the kind of the message (claim, refund, settlement, etc) and of the service provider; (iii) validation or denial of the transaction; (iv) updating the historical database of the claims; and (v) replying to the request by sending a message to the Network Processor.  

PRODUCT TARGET MARKET STRATEGY

Market Strategy

Our key marketing strategy has been to position ourselves as a market leader in providing total information management network processing solutions for the healthcare industry worldwide. We believe that our Health Information Management Products encompass a variety of solutions for healthcare provider locations, a complete network processing service for the health insurance companies, and in-house software and systems development to address specific and unique customer requirements, and the ability to operate the systems through a variety of communication methods.

The promotional and marketing strategy is based on creating a proactive "push pull" effect on the demand for the Health Information Management Products and services within the healthcare industry. We have been focusing on the promotion and marketing of our products to the Brazilian healthcare providers and insurance companies by demonstrating: (i) the benefits of the MedLink Solution application and services; (ii) real-time cash visibility; (iii) nominal to no capital investment; (iv) the established Network Processor facility; (v) custom software development support; and (vi) option of immediate payment of outstanding claims.

We believe that this commonly used marketing and promotional model will be suitable and used for market penetration.  In addition we attend a number of conferences and trade shows in Brazil on an annual basis to “show case” our products. International marketing and promotional strategies will be developed and adapted on a country-to-country basis to meet different market environments and governmental requirements, build business and political relationships, and obtain domestic media exposure and high visibility within the local healthcare industry to establish credibility.

Product Target Market

We have identified two initial target markets for our products. They are: (i) healthcare providers, such as physicians, clinics, hospitals, laboratories, diagnosis centers, emergency centers, etc.; and (ii) health insurance and group medicine companies.

We believe that there is a significant global market opportunity for our Healthcare Information Management Products and services and software technology.

STRATEGIC ALLIANCES

We have developed key strategic alliances with the following technology providers to support the MedLink Solution's unique system architecture and design.

 
6

 
 
S1 Corporation - Network Processor System

On November 25, 2002, we entered into a supplier agreement with S1 Corporation of Atlanta Georgia, formerly Mosaic Software, Inc. ("S1"), to develop the Network Processor software package, known as the "Postilion", for use in the MedLink Solution. We believe that S1 is the supplier of the most modern technology for network control software, based on a low cost hardware platform (PC's) and Windows NT software. Management believes the Position software is the most cost effective solution for this kind of system. We own the current license and undertake optional maintenance payments to S1 on a quarterly basis to receive software updates and access to support.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Currently we have an alliance with a US based Health Care Software Consulting company who have been involved in developing our product for the USA market.

COMPETITION
 
The information network solutions market for healthcare providers and health insurance companies is characterized by rapidly evolving technology and intense competition. Many companies of all sizes, including a number of large technology companies, such as IBM, Siemens, and EDS, as well as several specialized healthcare information management companies, are developing similar products and services. There may be products on the market that do or will compete directly with the products and services that we have developed and are seeking to develop. These companies may also compete with us in recruiting qualified personnel. Many of our potential competitors have substantially greater financial, research and development, human and other resources than we do.

Furthermore, larger companies may have significantly more experience than we do in developing such products and services. Such competitors may: (i) develop more efficient and effective products and services; (ii) obtain patent protection or intellectual property rights that may limit our ability to commercialize our products or services; or (iii) commercialize products and services earlier than we do.

We expect technology developments in the healthcare information management and technology industry to continue to occur at a rapid pace. Commercial developments by any competitors may render some or all of our potential products or services obsolete or non-competitive, which could materially harm our business and financial condition.  

We believe, however, that our Health Management Information Products and related services and solutions for the healthcare providers and health insurance companies represent a unique approach and has certain competitive advantages as follows:

i)
the MedLink Solution significantly reduces medical administrative procedures and costs through connecting in real time, individual healthcare provider locations to health insurance companies;
ii)
irrespective of the choice of connectivity or the method of transmission, MedLink provides a secure and reliable service where healthcare providers can automatically verify patient eligibility, receive authorization for the performance of approved medical procedures and process a paperless claim electronically with each insurance provider it interacts with, provided they are subscribed to the network;
iii)
once connected to the network, MedLink Solution provides numerous benefits to doctors and private health insurance companies including the automation of their paper-based clerical duties; and
iv)
by using MedLink Solution, many of these cumbersome tasks can be processed electronically in seconds, virtually eliminating processing costs, paperwork, and the high risks associated with fraud.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

As of the date of this Annual Report, none of our software products or services are regulated by the U.S. Department of Health. However, there is substantial state and federal regulation of the confidentiality of patient medical records and the circumstances under which such records may be used, disclosed to or processed by us as a consequence of our contacts with various healthcare providers and health insurance companies. Although compliance with these laws and regulations is presently the principal responsibility of covered entities, including hospitals, physicians or other healthcare providers, regulations governing patient confidentiality rights are rapidly evolving.

Additional federal and state legislation governing the dissemination of medical record information may be adopted which could have a material effect on our business. Those laws, including HIPAA and ICD 10 implementation, may significantly affect our future business and materially impact our product and service development, revenue and working capital. During the past several years, the healthcare industry also has been subject to increasing levels of governmental regulation of, among other things, reimbursement rates and certain capital expenditures. We are unable to predict what, if any, changes will occur as a result of such regulation.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

Patents and other proprietary rights are vital to our business operations. Our policy is to seek appropriate copyright and patent protection both in the United States and abroad for our proprietary technologies and products. We have acquired the license to certain intellectual property as follows:

 
(i)
Source code for all of the MedLink Solutions, source nodes and Network processor source code.

Through intellectual property attorneys in the United States, we have been advised not to apply for copyright protection for our products but possibly to seek a process patent at a future date.

EMPLOYEES

As of April 15, 2011, our only employees are part time and are our officers, Mr. Stephen Walters and Mr. Adam Wasserman.  We do not anticipate hiring additional employees until our operations resume and expand to such a degree that necessitates hiring auxiliary staff.   None of our employees is represented by a labor union and we consider our relationships with our employees to be good.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this report before making an investment decision with regard to our securities. The statements contained in or incorporated into this annual report that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS
 
We have been the subject of a going concern opinion from our independent registered public accounting firm, which means that we may not be able to continue operations unless we obtain additional funding for our current and future working capital needs.

Our financial statements have been subject to a "going concern" opinion by our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.  Management believes that we will need additional working capital to be implement a business plan, exploit certain intellectual property and to maintain ongoing financial reporting as a public company and for administration of our operation and, therefore, our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the additional working capital necessary to accomplish our objectives. Our inability to obtain adequate financing may result in the need to discontinue business operations and you could lose your entire investment. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Management anticipates that we will incur net losses for the immediate future, and expects our operating expenses to decrease. We will need to generate new business and revenues if we are to continue as a going concern, or obtain financing. To the extent that we do not generate sufficient revenues or obtain funding, that our stock price does not increase, or we are unable to adjust operating expense levels accordingly, we may not have the ability to continue on as a going concern.

We will require additional fund and future access to capital is uncertain and we may have to delay, reduce or eliminate our business operations.

It is expensive to develop and commercialize Health Information Management Products. We do not have capital to conduct research and development, which is costly. Our product development efforts may not lead to new commercial products, either because our products fail to be found effective or because we lack the necessary financial or other resources or relationships to pursue commercialization. Our capital and future revenues may not be sufficient to support the expenses of our business operations and the development of commercial infrastructure. We may need to raise additional capital to: (i) fund operations; (ii) conduct research and development of Health Information Management Products; and (iii) commercialize our products.

The inability to protect our intellectual property could lead to unauthorized use of our products.

We rely on a combination of trade secrets, copyright and trademark laws, nondisclosure, non-compete and other contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights. Measures taken by us to protect our intellectual property may not be adequate, and any competitors could independently develop products and services that are substantially equivalent or superior to our products and services. Any infringement or misappropriation of our proprietary software could put us at a competitive disadvantage in a highly competitive market and could cause us to incur substantial litigation expense, and divert management's attention from other operations. Intellectual property litigation is increasingly common in the software industry.

Therefore, the risk of an infringement claim against us may increase over time as the number of competitors in the industry segment grows and the functionality of products overlaps. Third parties could assess infringement claims against us in the future. Regardless of the merits, we could incur substantial litigation expenses in defending any such asserted claim. In the event of an unfavorable ruling on any such claim, such an infringement may result in significant monetary liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on the business.

In the event of an unfavorable ruling on any such claim, a license or similar agreement may also not be available to use on reasonable terms, if at all. We may not be successful in the defense of these or similar claims.

 
9

 
 
Failure to retain key personnel could impede our ability to commercialize our products, maintain the license agreement or obtain sources of funds.

We depend to a significant extent on the efforts of Mr. Stephen Walters, our President, Chief Executive Officer and director. The development of  Health Information Management Products requires expertise from a number of different disciplines, some of which are not widely available. The quality and reputation of our research and development personnel, including our executive officers, and their success in performing their responsibilities, may directly influence our success. In addition, Mr. Walters is involved in a broad range of critical activities, including providing strategic and operational guidance. The loss of Mr. Walters or our inability to retain or recruit other key management and research and development personnel may delay or prevent us from achieving our business objectives. We face intense competition for personnel from other companies, public and private research institutions, government entities and other organizations In addition, we do not maintain any key man life insurance policies on Mr. Walters.

If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, our ability to provide accurate financial statements and comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could be impaired, which could cause our stock price to decrease substantially.

We have committed limited personnel and resources to the development of the external reporting and compliance obligations that would be required of a public company. We will need to continue to improve our financial and managerial controls, reporting systems and procedures, and documentation thereof. If our financial and managerial controls, reporting systems or procedures fail, we may not be able to provide accurate financial statements on a timely basis or comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as it applies to us. Any failure of our internal controls or our ability to provide accurate financial statements could cause the trading price of our common stock to decrease substantially.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

Market volatility may affect our stock price and the value of a shareholder's investment in our common stock may be subject to sudden decreases.

The trading price for our shares of common stock has been, and we expect it to continue to be, volatile. The price at which our common stock trades depends on a number of factors, including the following, many of which are beyond our control:

 
(i)
historical and anticipated operating results, including fluctuations in financial and operating results;

In addition, the stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These broad market fluctuations may lower the market price of our common stock and affect the volume of trading in the stock. During periods of stock market price volatility, share prices of many health information management network solution companies have often fluctuated in a manner not necessarily related to their individual operating performance. Accordingly, our common stock may be subject to greater price volatility than the stock market as a whole. See "Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities."

Future sales by our stockholders may adversely affect our stock price and our ability to raise funds in new stock offerings along with increasing our number of  common shares authorized.
 
Sales of our common stock in the public market could lower the market price of our common stock. Sales may also make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that our management deems acceptable or at all. Of the 96,078,960 shares of common stock outstanding as of the date of this Annual Report, 48,695,175 shares are freely tradable without restriction. The remaining 47,383,785 shares of common stock held by existing stockholders, including the officers and directors, are "restricted securities" and may be resold in the public market only if registered or pursuant to an exemption from registration. Some of these shares may be resold under Rule 144.  In addition, as of December 31,  2010, if exercised or converted, we may issue up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock underlying the warrants, up to 1,025,000 shares underlying stock options, over one billion shares underlying our Series A Preferred stock, and up to 1,400,000 shares of common stock upon conversion of related party debt. Currently, we only have 100,000,000 common shares authorized and we may be required to increase the number of common shares authorized by the Company or otherwise modify our capital structure.
 
There are a large number of shares underlying our Series A Preferred Stock that may be available for future sale and the sale of these shares may depress the market price of our common stock.

As of the date of this Annual Report, we have 96,078,960 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 14,190 shares of our Series A Preferred stock issued and outstanding. In addition, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the outstanding Series A Preferred stock may increase if the market price of our stock declines. All of the shares, including all of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares, may be sold without restriction. Currently, we have 100,000,000 common shares authorized and 96,078,960 shares issued and outstanding as of the date of this Annual Report. Accordingly, we do not have sufficient authorized common shares to convert the Series A preferred stock. We may need to seek shareholder approval to increase our authorized shares or to seek to effectuate a reverse split.The sale of these shares may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

The continuously adjustable conversion price feature of our Series A Preferred Stock could require us to issue a substantially greater number of shares, which will cause dilution to our existing shareholders.

The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our Series A Preferred Stock will increase if the market price of our common stock declines, which will cause dilution to our existing stockholders. Our obligation to issue shares upon conversion of our Series A Preferred Stock is essentially limitless if the trading price per common share declines towards zero as the number of Series A Preferred Stock convertible into common stock is based on the trading price per common share.

The continuously adjustable conversion price feature of our Series A Preferred Stock may encourage investors to make short sales in our common stock, which could reduce the price of our common stock.  

The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into common stock at any time by dividing the dollar amount being converted by the lower of $0.192 or eighty percent (80%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average of our common stock, as determined by price quotations from Bloomberg, LP, during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion.

The significant downward pressure on the price of the common stock as the selling stockholder converts and sell material amounts of common stock could encourage short sales by investors. This could place further downward pressure on the price of the common stock. In addition, not only the sale of shares issued upon conversion of preferred stock, but also the mere perception that these sales could occur, may adversely affect the market price of the common stock.

The holder of the Series A Preferred Stock has the option of converting the principal outstanding into shares of our common stock. If the holder converts additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock, there will be dilution of your shares of our common stock. We do not have enough authorized shares to convert all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock.

The conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock will result in dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock since the holders may ultimately convert the full amount of the Series A Preferred Stock and sell all of these shares into the public market. Additionally, we do not have enough authorized shares to convert all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock.  Currently, we have 100,000,000 common shares authorized and 96,078,960 shares issued and outstanding as of the date of this Annual Report. We may need to seek shareholder approval to increase our authorized shares or to seek to effectuate a reverse split.

The following table sets forth the number and percentage of shares of our common stock that would be issuable if the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted at conversion prices of $0.05, $0.03, $0.01 and $0.005 (the conversion price shall be equal to the lesser of (i) $0.192 or (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of the common stock during the ten (10) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of conversion):

Our common stock is subject to the "penny stock" rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock", for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (i) that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and (ii) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: (i) obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and (ii) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

 
12

 

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: (i) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (ii) that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

We may not be able to meet the internal control reporting requirements imposed by the SEC resulting in a possible decline in the price of our ordinary shares and our inability to obtain future financing.
 
As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the SEC adopted rules requiring each public company to include a report of management on the company’s internal controls over financial reporting in its annual reports. Although the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act exempts companies with a public float of less than $75 million from the requirement that our independent registered public accounting firm attest to our financial controls, this exemption does not affect the requirement that we include a report of management on our internal control over financial reporting and does not affect the requirement to include the independent registered public accounting firm’s attestation if our public float exceeds $75 million.
 
While we need to expend significant resources in developing the necessary documentation and testing procedures required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, there is a risk that we may not be able to comply timely with all of the requirements imposed by this rule. Regardless of whether we are required to receive a positive attestation from our independent registered public accounting firm with respect to our internal controls, if we are unable to do so, investors and others may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements and our stock price and ability to obtain equity or debt financing as needed could suffer.
 
In addition, in the event that our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to rely on our internal controls in connection with its audit of our financial statements, and in the further event that it is unable to devise alternative procedures in order to satisfy itself as to the material accuracy of our financial statements and related disclosures, it is possible that we would be unable to file our Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC, which could also adversely affect the market for and the market price of our ordinary shares and our ability to secure additional financing as needed.

The trading price of our common stock on the Over the Counter Pink Sheet Market has been and may continue to fluctuate significantly and stockholders may have difficulty reselling their shares.

During 2010, our common stock has traded as low as $0.0012 and as high as $0.008 In addition to volatility associated with Bulletin Board and Pink Sheet securities in general, the value of your investment could decline due to the impact of any of the following factors upon the market price of our common stock: (i) changes in the world wide price for oil or natural gas; (ii) our inability to implement a business plan; (iii) failure to meet our revenue or profit goals or operating budget; (iv) decline in demand for our common stock; (v) downward revisions in securities analysts' estimates or changes in general market conditions; (vi) lack of funding generated for operations; (viii) investor perception of our industry or our prospects; and (vii) general economic trends.

In addition, stock markets have experienced price and volume fluctuations and the market prices of securities have been highly volatile. These fluctuations are often unrelated to operating performance and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, investors may be unable to sell their shares at a fair price and you may lose all or part of your investment.

A majority of our directors and officers are outside the United States.  Therefore, it may be difficult for investors within the United States to enforce any judgments obtained against us or any of our directors or officers.

A majority of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons' assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process on our directors or officers, or enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against us or our officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. Consequently, you may be effectively prevented from pursuing remedies under U.S. federal securities laws against them. In addition, investors may not be able to commence an action in a foreign court predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States. The foregoing risks also apply to those experts identified in this prospectus that are not residents of the United States.  

Colorado law and our articles of incorporation may protect our directors from certain types of lawsuits.

Colorado law provides that our officers and directors will not be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for all but certain types of conduct as officers and directors. Our Bylaws permit us broad indemnification powers to all persons against all damages incurred in connection with our business to the fullest extent provided or allowed by law. The exculpation provisions may have the effect of preventing stockholders from recovering damages against our officers and directors caused by their negligence, poor judgment or other circumstances. The indemnification provisions may require us to use our limited assets to defend our officers and directors against claims, including claims arising out of their negligence, poor judgment, or other circumstances.

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends.

We presently do not anticipate that we will pay any dividends on any of our capital stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends, if any, would be contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements, and general financial condition. The payment of any dividends is within the discretion of our Board of Directors. We presently intend to retain all earnings, if any, to implement our business plan; accordingly, we do not anticipate the declaration of any dividends in the foreseeable future.

On November 24, 2009, we received notice from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) that our common stock would be removed from trading on the OTCBB effective December 3, 2009. We were informed that pursuant to FINRA Rule 6350(e) we had been delinquent in our reporting obligations for a third time in twenty four months, and therefore would be removed from the OTCBB at the open of trade on December 3, 2009.  Effective December 3, 2009, our common stock has been traded on the Over the Counter Pink Sheet Market.  The market for our common stock is limited, and can be volatile. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the reported high and low closing bid quotations for our common stock by calendar quarters during 2009 and 2010 and the first quarter of 2011 as quoted on NASDAQ.com.

Dividend Policy

No dividends have ever been declared by the Board of Directors on our common stock. Our losses do not currently indicate the ability to pay any cash dividends, and we do not indicate the intention of paying cash dividends either on our common stock in the foreseeable future. There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or by-laws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend, we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business or our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of stockholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

Stock Option Plan

On July 22, 2003, our Board of Directors unanimously approved and adopted a stock option plan, and during fiscal year 2004, our Board of Directors unanimously approved and adopted a 2004 incentive stock option plan (collectively, the "Stock Option Plan"). The purpose of the Stock Option Plan is to advance our interests and those of our shareholders by affording our key personnel an opportunity for investment and the incentive advantages inherent in stock ownership. Pursuant to the provisions of the Stock Option Plan, stock options (the "Stock Options") will be granted only to our key personnel, generally defined as a person designated by our Board of Directors upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts we may rely including any of our directors, officers, employees or consultants. The Stock Option Plan provides authorization to our Board of Directors to grant Stock Options to purchase a total number of shares of our common stock not to exceed 4,500,000 shares and, in accordance with the provisions of the 2004 incentive stock option plan, an additional 2,500,000 shares for an aggregate of 7,000,000 shares.  

The Stock Option Plan is to be administered by our Board of Directors, which shall determine (i) the persons to be granted Stock Options under the Stock Option Plan; (ii) the number of shares subject to each option, the exercise price of each Stock Option; and (iii) whether the Stock Option shall be exercisable at any time during the option period of ten (10) years or whether the Stock Option shall be exercisable in installments or by vesting only. At the time a Stock Option is granted under the Stock Option Plan, our Board of Directors shall fix and determine the exercise price at which shares of our common stock may be acquired; provided, however, that any such exercise price shall not be less than that permitted under the rules and policies of any stock exchange or over-the-counter market which are applicable.

 
16

 

In the event an optionee who is one of our directors or officers ceases to serve in that position, any Stock Option held by such optionee generally may be exercisable within up to ninety (90) calendar days after the effective date that his position ceases, and after such 90-day period any unexercised Stock Option shall expire. In the event an optionee who is one of our employees or consultants ceases to be employed by us, any Stock Option held by such optionee generally may be exercisable within up to sixty (60) calendar days (or up to thirty (30) calendar days where the optionee provided only investor relations services to us) after the effective date that his employment ceases, and after such 60- or 30-day period any unexercised Stock Option shall expire.

No Stock Options granted under the Stock Option Plan will be transferable by the optionee, and each Stock Option will be exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee subject to the option period of ten (10) years or limitations described above. Any Stock Option held by an optionee at the time of his death may be exercised by his estate within one (1) year of his death or such longer period as our Board of Directors may determine.

Unless restricted by the option agreement, the exercise price shall by paid by any of the following methods or any combination of the following methods: (i) in cash; (ii) by cashier's check, certified check, or other acceptable banker's note payable to us; (iii) by net exercise notice whereby the option holder will authorize the return to the Stock Option Plan pool, and deduction from the option holder's Stock Option, of sufficient Stock Option shares whose net value (fair value less option exercise price) is sufficient to pay the option price of the shares exercise (the fair value of the shares of the Stock Option to be returned to the pool as payment will be determined by the closing price of our shares of common stock on the date notice is delivered); (iv) by delivery to us of a properly executed notice of exercise together with irrevocable instructions (referred to in the industry as `delivery against payment') to a broker to deliver to us promptly the amount of the proceeds of the sale of all or a portion of the stock or of a loan from the broker to the option holder necessary to pay the exercise price; of (v) such other method as the option holder and our Board of Directors may determine as adequate including delivery of acceptable securities (including our securities), set-off for wages or invoices due, property, or other adequate value. In the discretion of our Board of Director, we may grant a loan or guarantee a third-party loan obtained by an option holder to pay part of all of the exercise option price of the shares provided that such loan or our guaranty is secured by the shares of common stock.  

Incentive Stock Options

The Stock Option Plan further provides that, subject to the provisions of the Stock Option Plan and prior shareholder approval, our of Board of Directors may grant to any one of our key personnel who is an employee eligible to receive options one or more incentive stock options to purchase the number of shares of common stock allotted by our Board of Directors (the "Incentive Stock Options").

The option price per share of common stock deliverable upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option shall be no less than fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant of the Incentive Stock Option. In accordance with the terms of the Stock Option Plan, "fair market value" of the Incentive Stock Option as of any date shall not be less than the closing price for the shares common stock on the last trading day preceding the date of grant.

The option term of each Incentive Stock Option shall be determined by our Board of Directors, which shall not commence sooner than from the date of grant and shall terminate no later than ten (10) years from the date of grant of the Incentive Stock Option, subject to possible early termination as described
above.

ITEM 6.  SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information called for by Item 6 of Form 10-K.
 
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The summarized consolidated financial data set forth in the tables below and discussed in this section should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes for fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, which financial statements are included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

OVERVIEW

On April 4, 2011, pursuant to a Quota Purchase and Sale Agreement amongst Transax Limited, QC Holding I Participacoes S.A., a corporation organized under the laws of Brazil (“QC Holding”), and Medlink Conectividade, we sold 100% of our interest in Medlink Conectividade. As such all related operations have been retroactively presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented and related operating assets and liabilities have been classified as assets from discontinued operations and liabilities from discontinued operations, respectively for all periods presented.

In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Agreement: (i) QC Holding acquired the equity interest of Medlink Conectividade resulting in the sale of our operating subsidiary. As consideration for the purchase and sale of 100% of our interest in Medlink Conectividade, in April 2011, QC paid to us approximately $298,000; (ii) QC Holding agreed to assume all debt and other contingent liabilities of Medlink Conectividade, which as of December 31, 2010 was approximately $7,800,000 including $5,300,000 in past taxes and social security contributions due to the Brazil Government; and (iii) QC contributed to Medlink Conectividade approximately $1,402,000 which was used to pay us approximately $1,402,000 in loans and interest due to Transax Limited by Medlink Conectividade.  In accordance with the further terms and provisions of the Agreement, we retained our relevant technology assets consisting of software code and the Postilion network processor program to carry on business outside of Brazil.

Our board of directors considered the sale of Medlink Conectividade to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders Factors considered included (i) the high levels of debt in Medlink Conectividade, (ii) its continuing net losses and (iii) reports from Brazil counsel to Medlink Conectividade indicating that immediate tax and social security payments were due to the Brazilian Government of over $1,000,000.

Subsequent to April 4, 2011, we will have no revenues and limited operations consisting of financial report, administration and seeking new business opportunities or a merger candidate.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are 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 us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, recovery of long-lived assets, income taxes, the change in fair value of our derivatives, and the valuation of equity transactions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we 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. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements

We review the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by the comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value.

Revenue Recognition - Our revenues, which do not require any significant production, modification or customization for the Company's targeted customers and do not have multiple elements, is recognized when (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the Company's fee is fixed and determinable, and; (4) collectability is probable.

Substantially all of our revenues was derived from the processing of applications by healthcare providers for approval of patients for healthcare services from insurance carriers. Our software or hardware devices containing our software are installed at the healthcare provider's location. We offer transaction services to authorize and adjudicate identity of the patient and obtain "real time" approval for any necessary medical procedure from the insurance carrier. Our transaction-based solutions provide remote access for healthcare providers to connect with contracted insurance carriers. Transaction services are provided through contracts with insurance carriers and others, which specify the services to be utilized and the markets to be served. Our clients are charged for these services on a per transaction basis. Pricing varies depending on the type of transactions being processed under the terms of the contract for which services are provided.  Transaction revenues are recognized in the period in which the transactions are performed.

Operating Expenses

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we incurred operating expenses in the aggregate amount of $338,152 as compared to $368,486 incurred during the year ended December 31, 2009 (a decrease of $30,334 or 8.2%).  The decrease in operating expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 resulted from: (i) a decrease of $20,974 or 7.7% in management and consulting fees-related parties due to a decrease in use of certain management needed to handle our operations, and (ii) a decrease of $17,612 or 49.1% in general and administrative expenses primarily resulting from a decrease in operating costs due to cost cutting measures.  These decreases were offset by an increase of $8,252 or 13.9% in the amount of professional fees incurred including an increase in auditing fees of $4,000.

Loss from Continuing Operations

We reported a loss from continuing operations of $338,152 for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to a loss from operations of $368,486 for the year ended December 31, 2009 (a decrease of $30,334 or 8.2%).

Other Income (Expenses)

During the year ended December 31,  2010, we incurred other income of $1,038,242 as compared to other expense of $(397,503) for the year ended December 31,  2009 (an increase of $1,435,745). The variance for year ended December 31,  2010 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 resulted primarily from:

 
·
the change in the fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities which was a gain of $142,524 in 2010 as compared to a loss in 2009 of $343,259,
 
·
For the year ended December 31, 2010, we incurred interest expense of $58,710 as compared to $44,917 for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $13,793 or 30.7% primarily attributable to an increase in related party borrowings,
 
·
In 2010, we recorded a gain of $937,700 related to the forfeiture of a deposit received related to an agreed sale of a subsidiary of $937,700 as compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2009,
 
·
For the year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded a gain from foreign currency exchange of $16,728 as compared to a loss from foreign currency exchange of $9,327 for the year ended December 31, 2009, a change of $26,055 or 279.3%.

Loss from Discontinued Operations

On April 4, 2011, we sold 100% of our interest in Medlink Conectividad. Due to this sale, all operations of Medlink Conectividade have been retroactively presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented and related operating assets and liabilities have been classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations for all periods presented. Loss from discontinued operation is summarized as follows:

Net Loss

Due to the reasons described above, for the year ended December 31, 2010, our loss was $2,094,775 as compared to loss of $2,802,351 for the year ended December 31, 2009.

During fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded a deemed and cumulative preferred stock dividend of $100,100 as compared to $100,880 for the year ended December 31, 2009, which is related to our Series A Preferred Stock.

We reported a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $2,194,875 for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $2,903,231 for the year ended December 31, 2009. This translates to a net loss per common share available to shareholders of $0.02 and $0.04 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Comprehensive Loss

We recorded an unrealized foreign currency translation loss of $532,601 and $481,025 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and  2009, respectively.  This resulted in a comprehensive net loss during fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 of $2,627,376 as compared to $3,283,376 for the year ended December 31, 2009.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis.  At December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had cash balances of $18,388 and $21,813, respectively. These funds are located in financial institutions located as follows:
   
December 31, 2010
   
December 31, 2009
 
Country:
                       
United States
  $ 3,660       19.9 %   $ 2,745       12.6 %
Brazil
    14,728       80.1 %     19,068       87.4 %
Total cash and cash equivalents
  $ 18,388       100.0 %   $ 21,813       100.0 %

As of December 31,  2010, our current assets were $18,665 and our current liabilities were $10,823,074, which resulted in a working capital deficit of $10,804,409.

Our stockholders' deficit increased from $7,393,587 at December 31, 2009 to $9,999,197 at December 31, 2010 principally due to the net loss incurred in fiscal 2010 of approximately $2.1 million

For the year ended December 31, 2010, net cash flow used in operating activities was $470,736 as compared to $95,984 for the year ended December 31, 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2010, net cash used in operating activities of $470,736 primarily consisted of our net loss of $2,094,775 adjusted for the add back of certain non-cash item such as a gain on derivative liabilities of $(142,524) and a gain from the forfeiture of deposit on sale of subsidiary of $937,700 and depreciation expense of $56,709, and changes in assets and liabilities of discontinued operations of $2,118,428.  For the year ended December 31, 2009, net cash used in operating activities of $95,984 primarily consisted of our net loss of $2,802,351, the add back of non-cash items including a loss from derivative liabilities of $343,259, depreciation and amortization of $263,857, and the amortization of software maintenance costs of $114,491, changes in operating assets and liabilities such as an increase in amounts due to related parties of $269,596 and changes in assets and liabilities of discontinued operations of $1,662,261.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2010, net cash flows used in investing activities amounted to $35,391 and as compared to $154,042 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and related to the acquisition of property and equipment.

Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $502,122 as compared to $243,130 for the year ended December 31, 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2010, cash provided by financing activities was attributable to $432,1226 in proceeds from loans from discontinued operations and proceeds of $70,000 from related party loans. For the year ended December 31, 2009, cash provided by financing activities was attributable to $242,306  in proceeds from loans and proceeds of $80,000 from related party loans offset by the payment of capital lease obligations of $79,176.

PLAN OF OPERATION

Since inception, we incurred cumulative net losses of $19,307,203, and have a stockholders' deficit of $9,999,197 and a working capital deficit of $10,804,409 at December 31, 2010.  Since inception, we have funded operations through short-term borrowings and the proceeds from equity sales in order to meet our strategic objectives.  Additionally, on April 4, 2011, we sold our sole operating business subsidiary and accordingly, we now have limited continuing operations that generate no revenues and will be seeking new opportunities to exploit our technologies or to seek a merger candidate. Our future operations are dependent upon external funding and our ability to obtain revenues and reduce expenses.  Management believes that sufficient funding will be available from additional related party borrowings to meet our business objectives, including anticipated cash needs for working capital, for a reasonable period of time. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient funds to continue the development of our business plan.

As result of the sale as discussed above, in April 2011, we received cash of approximately $1.7 million. We plan on using these funds to:

 
·
Pay outstanding liabilities for services rendered
 
·
Pay outstanding related party loans and interest
 
·
Negotiate with Series A Preferred shareholders to repurchase all outstanding preferred shares and
 
·
Fund on-going operations

As of the date of this Annual Report, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern as we have not generated sufficient cash flow to fund our business operations and material commitments and we will have no revenues in the near future. Our future success and viability, therefore, is dependent on our ability to develop, provide and market our information network solutions to healthcare providers, health insurance companies and other end-users outside of Brazil, our ability to generate capital financing, or to seek a merger candidate. We are optimistic that we will be successful in our business operations and capital raising efforts; however, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in generating revenue or raising additional capital. The failure to generate sufficient revenues or raise additional capital may have a material and adverse effect upon us and our shareholders.

Based upon a twelve (12) month work plan, it is anticipated that such a work plan would require approximately $300,000 of financing designed to fund various commitments and business operations.
 
There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to raise additional capital. Our failure to successfully raise additional capital will have a material and adverse effect upon us and our shareholders.

Our future success and viability are primarily dependent upon our current management to generate revenues from business operations and raise additional capital through further private offerings of our stock or loans from private investors. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to raise additional capital. Our failure to successfully raise additional capital will have a material and adverse effect upon us and our shareholders.

YA GLOBAL INVESTMENTS (“YA GLOBAL”) 

On January 13, 2006, we entered into an Investment Agreement with YA Global (collectively, the "Parties"), pursuant to which we sold YA Global up to 16,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value, (the "Series A Preferred Shares") for a total price of up to $1,600,000.  The Series A Preferred Shares are convertible, at YA Global's discretion, into shares of our common stock.
 
 
23

 

Certain covenants in the Investment Agreement could substantially impact our ability to raise funds from alternative sources in the future. For example, so long as any Series A Preferred Shares are outstanding, we shall not, without the prior written consent of YA Global (a) directly or indirectly consummate any merger, reorganization, restructuring, reverse stock split consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets or any similar transaction or related transactions; (b) incur any indebtedness for borrowed money or become a guarantor or otherwise contingently liable for any such indebtedness except for trade payables or purchase money obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business; (c) file any other registration statements on any form (including but not limited to forms S-1, S-3 and S-8); (d) issue or sell shares of common stock or preferred stock without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the bid price of the common stock determined immediately prior to its issuance or issue any preferred stock, warrant, option, right, contract, call, or other security or instrument granting the holder thereof the right to acquire common stock without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the bid price of the common stock determined immediately prior to the issuance of such convertible security or (e) enter into any security instrument granting the holder a security interest in any and all of our assets.

MATERIAL COMMITMENTS

A material liability for us at December 31, 2010 is the aggregate principal amount of $175,000 and $66,679 in accrued interest due and owing to a related party in accordance with two convertible promissory notes (collectively, the "Convertible Promissory Note(s)"). The Convertible Promissory Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at $0.125 per share together with a warrant to purchase our common stock at $0.25 per share for a period of two years. As of December 31, 2010, an aggregate principal amount of $175,000 and interest in the amount of $66,679 remains due and owing under the Convertible Promissory Notes. As of the date of this annual report, the Convertible Promissory Notes are deemed in default and are due on demand.

The Loans are evidenced by a promissory note with an interest rate of 0.8% per month and are currently due on demand. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we incurred $37,710 and $23,917, respectively, in interest related to these loans. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, $128,035 and $94,632 in interest and loan fees was accrued on these loans and the aggregate principal and interest amount due is $510,444 and $419,462, respectively.  During the year ended December 31, 2010, we borrowed $70,000 which was used for working capital purposes.

Consulting Agreement

A material liability for us at December 31, 2010 is the amount due and owing as management fees to Stephen Walters, our Chief Executive Officer. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we incurred $210,000 and $211,078, respectively, in management fees. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, $702,950 and $492,757 in management fees and other expenses are payable to Mr. Walters. In accordance with the terms of an agreement effective July 2007, we pay monthly to Mr. Walters an aggregate amount of $17,500 as compensation for managerial and consulting services he provides.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of the date of this annual report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably like to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term "off-balance sheet arrangement" generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have: (i) any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest; or (ii) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (ASC Topic 350). Under Topic 350 on goodwill and other intangible assets, testing for goodwill impairment is a two-step test. When a goodwill impairment test is performed (either on an annual or interim basis), an entity must assess whether the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value (Step 1). If it does, an entity must perform an additional test to determine whether goodwill has been impaired and to calculate the amount of that impairment (Step 2). The amendments in this update modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors require that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. As we do not have any significant intangible assets, we believe that the impact of adopting this update will not be material on our consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In December 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-29, Business Combinations (ASC Topic 805). The amendments in this update specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also improve the usefulness of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosures by requiring a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments that are directly attributable to the business combination(s). The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. As we did not enter into any business combinations in fiscal year 2010, we believe that the adoption this update will not have any material impact on our financial statement disclosures. However, if we enter into material business combinations in the future, the adoption of this update may have significant impact on our financial statement disclosures.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), our management, including Stephen Walters, our chief executive officer, and Adam Wasserman, our chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2010.
 
Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.
 
As discussed in more detail below, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective as of December 31, 2010, due to material weaknesses that we identified in internal control over financial reporting.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act. Our management is also required to assess and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("Section 404"). Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. In our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, our management determined that material weaknesses existed as outlined below.  A material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected in a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company's financial reporting. Therefore, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2010.
 
Management identified material weaknesses. Management identified significant deficiencies related to (i) the U.S. GAAP expertise of our internal accounting staff, (ii) our internal audit functions; (iii) the absence of an Audit Committee as of December 31, 2010, and (iv) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions.
 
 
26

 
 
We began preparing to be in compliance with the internal control obligations, including Section 404, for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2010. Our internal accounting staff was primarily engaged in ensuring compliance with Brazil accounting and reporting requirements for our operating subsidiary and their U.S. GAAP knowledge was limited. As a result, majority of our internal accounting staff  is relatively inexperienced with U.S. GAAP and the related internal control procedures required of U.S. public companies. Although our accounting staff is professional and experienced in accounting requirements and procedures generally accepted in Brazil, management has determined that they require additional training and assistance in U.S. GAAP matters. Management has determined that our internal audit function is also significantly deficient due to insufficient qualified resources to perform internal audit functions. Finally, management determined that the lack of an Audit Committee of our Board of Directors also contributed to insufficient oversight of our accounting and audit functions.

In order to correct the foregoing material weaknesses, we have taken the following remediation measures:
                                    
 
·
We have committed to the establishment of effective internal audit functions, however, due to the scarcity of qualified candidates with extensive experience in U.S. GAAP reporting and accounting in the region, we were not able to hire sufficient internal audit resources before the end of 2010. However, we will increase our search for qualified candidates with assistance from recruiters and through referrals.
 
·
We will consider searching for independent directors, with one qualified to serve on an audit committee to be established by our Board of Directors and we anticipate that our Board of Directors will also establish a compensation committee to be headed by one of the independent directors.

Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, we will implement procedures to assure that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be performed by separate individuals.

We believe that the foregoing steps will remediate the significant material weaknesses identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate. Due to the nature of these material  weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, there is a remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to our annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Auditor Attestation

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

INVOLVEMENT IN CERTAIN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As of the date of this Annual Report, none of our directors or executive officers is or has been involved in any legal proceeding concerning (i) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (ii) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses) within the past five years; (iii) being subject to any order, judgment or decree permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activity; or (iv) being found by a court, the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law (and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated).

AUDIT COMMITTEE

As of the date of this Annual Report, we have not appointed members to an audit committee and, therefore, the respective role of an audit committee has been conducted by our Board of Directors. When established, the audit committee's primary function will be to provide advice with respect to our financial matters and to assist our Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities regarding finance, accounting, tax and legal compliance.

The audit committee's primary duties and responsibilities will be to: (i) serve as an independent and objective party to monitor our financial reporting process and internal control system; (ii) review and appraise the audit efforts of our independent accountants; (iii) evaluate our quarterly financial performance as well as its compliance with laws and regulations; (iv) oversee management's establishment and enforcement of financial policies and business practices; and (v) provide an open avenue of communication among the independent accountants, management and our Board.

Our Board has considered whether the regulatory provision of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the principal independent accountant's independence.

AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

As of the date of this Annual Report, our Board has determined that we do not have an audit committee financial expert nor do we have an audit committee.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, requires our directors and officers, and the persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Copies of all filed reports are required to be furnished to us pursuant to Rule 16a-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based solely on the reports received by us and on the representations of the reporting persons, we believe that these persons have complied with all applicable filing requirements during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders'
of Transax International Limited.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Transax International Limited and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2010.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amount and disclosures in the consolidated 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 consolidated financial position of Transax International Limited and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has accumulated losses from operations of approximately $19.3 million, a working capital deficiency of approximately $10.8 million and a stockholders’ deficiency of approximately $10.0 million at December 31, 2010. Additionally, as discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, on April 4, 2001, the Company sold its sole operating subsidiary. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company

Transax International Limited ("TNSX" or the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Colorado in 1987. The Company currently trades on the OTC Pink Sheet market under the symbol "TNSX" and the Frankfurt and Berlin Stock Exchanges under the symbol "TX6". The Company, through its subsidiary, Medlink Conectividade em Saude Ltda (“Medlink Conectividade”) is an international provider of information network solutions specifically designed for healthcare providers and health insurance companies. The Company's MedLink Solution enables the real time automation of routine patient eligibility, verification, authorizations, claims processing and payment functions. The Company has offices located in Plantation, Florida and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

On March 26, 2008, the Company executed a stock purchase and option agreement (the “Agreement”) with Engetech, Inc., a Turks & Caicos corporation (the “Buyer”) controlled and owned 20% by Americo de Castro, director and President of Medlink Conectividade, and 80% by Flavio Gonzalez Duarte or assignees. In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Agreement, the Company sold to the Buyer 45% of the total issued and outstanding stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Transax Limited, which owns one hundred percent of the total issued and outstanding shares of: (i) Medlink Conectividade, and (ii) Medlink Technologies, Inc., (“MTI”) a Mauritius corporation (See Note 5). However, the Buyer defaulted on payments and on November 24, 2010, pursuant to an agreement, the Buyer returned the 45 shares of Transax Limited held in escrow and forfeited its initial deposit of $937,700 in full and complete satisfaction of any amounts due to the Company.

As a material subsequent event, on April 4, 2011, pursuant to a Quota Purchase and Sale Agreement amongst Transax Limited, QC Holding I Participacoes S.A., a corporation organized under the laws of Brazil (“QC Holding”), and Medlink Conectividade, the Company sold 100% of its interest in Medlink Conectividade to QC Holding. Due to this sale, all operations of Medlink Conectividade have been retroactively presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented and related operating assets and liabilities have been classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations for all periods presented (See Note 5).

Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.  The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its subsidiary, Transax Limited, and Transax Limited’s wholly-owned subsidiaries Medlink Conectividade, and MTI. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The Company has reclassified, for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, the amounts related to the discontinued operations (Medlink Conectividade, See Note 5) in accordance with the applicable accounting criteria. In addition, assets and liabilities related to the discontinued operations are reported separately in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, the estimated lives and recoverable value of property, equipment and software development costs, assumptions used to calculate stock-based compensation and derivative liabilities and the accounting for discontinued business operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company adopted the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 for fair value measurements which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 
·
Level 1- inputs which include quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
 
·
Level 2 - inputs which include observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data for the full term of the asset or liability; and
 
·
Level 3 - inputs which include unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the underlying asset or liability. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques, as well as significant management judgment or estimation.

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, liabilities from discontinued operations and amounts due from related parties approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company uses Level 3 inputs to value its derivative liabilities.  The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the major classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) and reflects gains and losses for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 for all financial assets and liabilities categorized as Level 3 as of December 31, 2010.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company performs certain credit evaluation procedures and does not require collateral for financial instruments subject to credit risk.  The Company believes that its credit risk is limited because the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers, and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowances is limited.

The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful accounts to ensure accounts receivable are not overstated due to uncollectability and are maintained for all customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience. An additional reserve for individual accounts is recorded when the Company becomes aware of a customer's inability to meet its  financial  obligation, such as  in  the case of  bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer's operating results or financial position. If circumstances related to customers change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables would be further adjusted.  As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.

The Company maintains its cash in accounts with major financial institutions in the United States and Brazil. Deposits in these banks may exceed the amounts of insurance provided on such deposits.  As of December 31, 2010, bank deposits in the United States did not exceed federally insured limits.  At December 31, 2010, the Company had deposits of $14,728 in banks in Brazil which may not be insured.  Historically, we have not experienced any losses on our deposits of cash.

Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment, net, is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization is computed generally by the straight-line method at rates adequate to allocate the cost of applicable assets over their estimated useful lives, which range from 2 to 10 years.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the related assets are expensed as incurred, while major repairs are capitalized.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not record any impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Income Taxes

The Company files federal and state income tax returns in the United States for its domestic operations, and files separate foreign tax returns for the Company's foreign subsidiaries in the jurisdictions in which those subsidiaries operate.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and credit carry forwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.  A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.  If it becomes more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be used, the related valuation allowance on such assets would be reversed.  Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability.  In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years.  If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversal of reserves may be necessary. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company applied the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, “Accounting For Uncertainty In Income Taxes”, which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in our financial statements. Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed. The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to the Company’s liability for income taxes. Any such adjustment could be material to the Company’s results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, management believes the Company had no material uncertain tax positions, and will continue to evaluate for uncertain positions in the future. Fiscal tax years ended December 31, 2008, December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010 remain open and are subject to tax audit.

Foreign Currency Translation

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiary which is shown as a discontinued operation, Medlink Conectividade, is its local currency, the Brazilian Real (“R$”). Results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates.  Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income (loss).  Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

Asset and liability accounts at December 31, 2010 and 2009 were translated at 1.6662 R$ to $1.00 and at 1.7601 R$ to $1.00, respectively.  Equity accounts are translated at their historical rate. Cash flows from the Company's operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rate. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheet.  Transactions and balances originally denominated in U.S. dollars are presented at their original amounts.  Transactions and balances in other currencies are converted into U.S. dollars and are included in determining net earnings.

Revenue Recognition

The Company's revenues, which do not require any significant production, modification or customization for the Company's targeted customers and do not have multiple elements, are recognized when (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the Company's fee is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is probable.

Substantially all of the Company's revenues, which are included in discontinued operations, are derived from the processing of applications by healthcare providers for approval of patients for healthcare services from insurance carriers.  The Company's software or hardware devices containing the Company's software are installed at the healthcare provider's location. The Company offers transaction services to authorize and adjudicate the identity of the patient and obtains "real time" approval for any necessary medical procedure from the insurance carrier. The Company's transaction-based solutions provide remote access for healthcare providers to connect with contracted insurance carriers.  Transaction services are provided through contracts with insurance carriers and others, which specify the services to be utilized and the markets to be served.  The Company's clients are charged for these services on a per transaction basis. Pricing varies depending on the type of transactions being processed under the terms of the contract for which services are provided.  Transaction revenues are recognized in the period in which the transactions are performed.

Accounting for Conversion Features and Warrants issued with Preferred Stock

In 2006, the Company issued 16,000 shares of convertible Series A preferred stock, (see Note 6), which contained an Embedded Conversion Feature, ("ECF"), and warrants to purchase common stock. In accordance with the accounting standards related to accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities, it was necessary to evaluate the conversion option separately from the debt host and account for it separately as a derivative if the conversion option met certain criteria. The conversion option met all of the three criteria: (1) the conversion feature is not clearly and closely related to the host component, (2) the convertible instrument is not accounted for at fair value, and (3) the embedded conversion option meets the definition of a derivative.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

In assessing whether or not the conversion option would be classified as equity or a liability if it were freestanding, management determined whether or not the Series A convertible preferred stock is considered “conventional”.  Conventional convertible debt is defined as debt whereby the holder will, at the issuer's option, receive a fixed amount of shares or the equivalent amount of cash as proceeds when the conversion option is exercised. Management determined that the Series A convertible preferred stock was not conventional as defined.

This caused the ECF of the Series A convertible preferred stock to be classified as a derivative financial instrument.  In addition, all warrants to purchase common stock issued with the preferred stock were then deemed to be derivative instruments. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the ECF and warrants at their fair values as of each reporting date.  Any change in fair value is recorded as a gain or loss from derivative liabilities within the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.  The derivatives are valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and are classified in the consolidated balance sheets as current liabilities at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Basic and Diluted Net (Loss) Income per Common Share

Basic net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income allocable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of common shares issuable upon the conversion of series A preferred stock (using the if-converted method) and common stock warrants and options (using the treasury stock method).  The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per common share (excludes common stock warrants which are anti-dilutive since the exercise price is higher than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock) :

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The following were excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding as they would have had an anti-dilutive impact on our loss from discontinued operations. In periods where the Company has a net loss, all dilutive securities are excluded. In periods where the Company has net income, the dilutive securities are excluded when, for example, their exercise prices are greater than the average fair values of the Company's common stock as follows:

   
Years Ended

Total
    1,116.018,750       908,975,000  

These common stock equivalents may be dilutive in the future. The Company’s authorized number of shares of common stock is limited to 100,000,000 common shares and 96,078,960 were outstanding at December 31, 2010; only 3,921,040 additional shares are authorized for issuance as of December 31, 2010.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the share-based payment topic of ASC 718 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, (“FASB”).   This ASC requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively the vesting period). ASC 718 also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company did not incur a stock-based compensation cost for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred.  For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, advertising expense was deemed immaterial.

Comprehensive (Loss) Income

The Company follows the accounting standards related to reporting comprehensive (loss) income to recognize the elements of comprehensive (loss) income.  The Company’s comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and all changes to the statements of changes in stockholders' deficit, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders.  For the Company, comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 included net loss and unrealized losses from foreign currency translation adjustments.

Related Parties

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company has disclosed all related party transactions for all periods presented. All transactions were recorded at fair value of the goods or services exchanged.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has codified a single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP, the “Accounting Standards Codification”   (the “Codification” or “ASC”). While the Codification does not change U.S. GAAP, it introduces a new structure that is organized in an easily accessible, user-friendly on-line research system. The Codification supersedes all existing accounting standards documents. All other accounting literature not included in the Codification will be considered non-authoritative.

In December 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (ASC Topic 350). Under Topic 350 on goodwill and other intangible assets, testing for goodwill impairment is a two-step test. When a goodwill impairment test is performed (either on an annual or interim basis), an entity must assess whether the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value (Step 1). If it does, an entity must perform an additional test to determine whether goodwill has been impaired and to calculate the amount of that impairment (Step 2). The amendments in this update modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that impairment may exist. The qualitative factors require that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. As we do not have any significant intangible assets, we believe that the impact of adopting this update will not be material on our consolidated results of operations and financial position.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In December 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-29, Business Combinations (ASC Topic 805). The amendments in this update specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also improve the usefulness of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosures by requiring a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments that are directly attributable to the business combination(s). The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. We did not enter into any business combinations in fiscal year 2010. The adoption this update will not have any material impact on our financial statement disclosures. However, if we enter into material business combinations in the future, the adoption of this update may have significant impact on our financial statement disclosures.

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2010-17, Revenue Recognition – Milestone Method, which amended guidance on the criteria that should be met for determining whether the milestone method of revenue recognition is appropriate. A vendor can recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a milestone in its entirety as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone meets all criteria to be considered substantive.

The consideration earned by achieving the milestone should:

1. Be commensurate with either of the following:

 
a.
The vendor’s performance to achieve the milestone; or
 
b.
The enhancement of the value of the item delivered as a result of a specific outcome resulting from the vendor’s  performance to achieve the milestone

2. Relate solely to past performance

3. Be reasonable relative to all deliverables and payment terms in the arrangement.
 
A milestone should be considered substantive in its entirety. An individual milestone may not be bifurcated. An arrangement may include more than one milestone, and each milestone should be evaluated separately to determine whether the milestone is substantive. Accordingly, an arrangement may contain both substantive and non-substantive milestones. The amendments in this ASU are effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted.  The new accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

Since inception, the Company has incurred cumulative net losses of $19,307,203, and has a stockholders' deficit of $9,999,197 and a working capital deficit of $10,804,409 at December 31, 2010.  Since inception, the Company has funded operations through short-term borrowings and the proceeds from equity sales in order to meet its strategic objectives.  Additionally, on April 4, 2011, the Company sold its sole operating business subsidiary and accordingly, the Company has limited continuing operations that generate no revenues and will be seeking new opportunities to exploit its technologies or to seek a merger candidate. The Company's future operations are dependent upon external funding and its ability to obtain revenues and reduce expenses.  Management believes that sufficient funding will be available from additional related party borrowings to meet its business objectives, including anticipated cash needs for working capital, for a reasonable period of time. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient funds to continue the development of its business plan.

As a result of the foregoing, there exists substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Convertible Loan - Related Party

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had aggregate loans payable for $175,000 to Carlingford Investments Limited (“Carlingford”), a related party company whose officer is an officer of the Company.  These loans are convertible into the Company's common stock at $0.125 per share (1,400,000 common shares).  For each share of common stock received upon conversion of the principal balance, the related party is entitled to receive one warrant to purchase the Company's common stock at $0.25 per share for a period of two years from the conversion date.  The interest rate of the loan is 12% per annum computed at simple interest.  At December 31, 2010 and 2009, interest due on these loans amounted to $66,679 and $45,679, respectively, and the aggregate principal amount due is $175,000. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred $21,000 and $21,000, respectively, in interest expense related to these two loans. These two loans are in default and are due on demand.

Prior sale and rescission of sale of 45% interest in Transax Limited

On March 26, 2008, the board of directors of the Company, pursuant to unanimous written consent resolutions, approved the execution of a stock purchase and option agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Buyer. In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Agreement, the Company sold to the Buyer 45% of the total issued and outstanding stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Transax Limited. Through April 4, 2011, Transax Limited owned 100% of the total issued and outstanding shares of: (i) Medlink Conectividade and (ii) MTI. The purchase price for the 45%, or 45 shares, (“Initial Shares”) was $3,200,000. Through December 31, 2009, the Company received proceeds towards the purchase price of $937,700. The Company did not receive any proceeds during the year ended December 31, 2010. Since collection of the remaining purchase price was not reasonably assured, at December 31, 2009, the Company recorded the full amount of the purchase price of $3,200,000 as deferred revenue and is reflecting the deferred revenue net of the remaining note receivable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, at December 31, 2009, the Company’s consolidated balance sheet reflects a deferred gain on the sale of non-controlling interest of $937,700, which was recognized as other income on the consolidated statement of operations in 2010 upon forfeiture of the deposit by the Buyer on November 24, 2010.  On November 24, 2010, pursuant to an agreement, the Buyer agreed to return the 45 shares of Transax Limited held in escrow in full and complete satisfaction of any amounts due to the Company under the Agreement.

On January 13, 2006, the Company's Board of Directors approved the creation of 16,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock having the following rights, preferences and limitations:

 
(a)
each share has a stated value of $100 per share and no par value;

NOTE 6 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT (continued)

 
(d)
Each share of Series A Preferred Shares shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such shares, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock equal to the sum of (i) the Liquidation Amount of the Series A Preferred Shares ($100 per share) plus (ii) all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, divided by the “Conversion Price”, which is equal to the lower of (i) $0.192 ( the "Fixed Conversion Price"), or (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the lowest daily volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of the common stock during the ten (10) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of conversion (the "Market Conversion Price"). The VWAP shall be determined using price quotations from Bloomberg, LP.  A "Trading Day" is any day during which the FINRA OTC Bulletin Board is open for trading.  Additionally, each share of Series A Preferred Shares shall automatically convert into shares of common stock at the Conversion Price then in effect immediately upon the consummation of the occurrence of a stock acquisition, merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Company into or with another entity through one or a series of related transactions, or the sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.  Currently, the Company does not have enough authorized common shares to effectuate an automatic conversion of the Series A preferred shares into shares of common stock and will need to seek shareholder approval to increase the amount of authorized common shares.

 
(e)
The Series A Preferred Shares shall not have any voting rights except as provided under the laws of the State of Colorado.

 
(f)
The Company has the right to redeem (unless otherwise prevented by law), with three (3) business days advance written notice (the "Redemption Notice"), any shares of Series A Preferred Shares provided that the closing bid price of the of the Company's common stock, as reported by Bloomberg, LP, is less than the Fixed Conversion Price at the time of the Redemption Notice. The Company shall pay an amount equal to One Hundred Fifteen percent (115%) of the Liquidation Amount, plus accrued but unpaid dividends thereon (the "Redemption Amount"). The Company shall deliver to the holder the Redemption Amount on the third (3rd) business day after the Redemption Notice.  Upon receipt of a Redemption Notice, the holder shall be entitled to continue to convert outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Shares until the Redemption Price is received, subject to the conversion limitations as defined.  The Company may not redeem these shares under any other circumstances.

Initially, there was an automatic conversion clause associated with the Series A Preferred Shares which would cause them to automatically convert into shares of common stock at the Conversion Price then in effect upon the third anniversary of the date of the Investment Agreement.  On January 8, 2009, the Company amended the certificate of designation for the Series A Preferred shares to eliminate this provision.

The Company is required to record the fair value of the ECF and warrants as a liability.  At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company revalued the ECF and warrants resulting in a gain\ (loss) on derivative liabilities of $142,524 and $(343,259) for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

At December 31, 2010, the estimated fair value of the ECF and warrants were liabilities of $1,185,563 and $0, respectively.  At December 31, 2009, the estimated fair value of the ECF and warrants were liabilities of $1,348,157 and $1,696, respectively.  These derivative liabilities are reflected as a conversion feature liability and a warrant liability, respectively, on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES

As of December 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $7,750,000 of U.S. federal and state net operating loss carry forwards available to offset future taxable income which, if not utilized, begin expiring in 2012.  In addition, the Company has approximately $7,994,000 of foreign net operating loss carry forwards related to the Company's Brazilian subsidiaries.  Current Brazilian tax legislation imposes no time period for the utilization of the losses, although it does limit the annual usage of the losses to offset no more than 30% of taxable profits.

Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the utilization of a corporation's net operating loss carry forward is limited following a greater than 50% change in ownership. Due to prior transactions, the Company's net operating loss carry forwards are subject to an annual limitation.  Any unused annual limitation may be carried forward to future years for the balance of the net operating loss carry forward period. Additionally, because U.S. tax laws limit the time during which these carry forwards may be applied against future taxes, the Company may not be able to take full advantage of these attributes for Federal income tax purposes.

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES (continued)

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Due to the uncertainty of the Company's ability to realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets, the deferred tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

The Company's tax benefit differs from the "expected" tax benefit for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 as follows:
   
2010
   
2009
 
Computed "expected" tax benefit

Change in valuation allowance
    740,849       658,900  
    $ -     $ -  

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

   
2010
   
2009
 
Deferred tax assets:

The valuation allowance at December 31, 2010 was $5,662,700. The increase during 2010 was approximately $740,800.

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Accrued Taxes and Social Contribution

Since 2000, the Company has been deficient in the payment of Brazilian payroll taxes and Social Security taxes.  At December 31, 2010 and 2009, these deficiencies, plus interest and penalties, amounted to approximately $5,334,000 and $3,224,000, respectively. This liability is included as part of the liabilities of discontinued operations within the consolidated balance sheet.  In 2009, the Company submitted to the Brazilian government a request to pay out the federal taxes pursuant to a recently enacted law issued on May 27, 2009, which refinanced all federal tax debts due by November 30, 2008. The Company’s request was granted by the government on November 16, 2009. The monthly amount to be paid for the taxes due has not yet been determined by the government.
