Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Back to Table of Contents

1. The Company


Transax International Limited (“TNSX” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Colorado. The Company currently trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "TNSX" and the Frankfurt and Berlin Stock Exchanges under the symbol "TX6".


The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary TDS Telecommunication Data Systems LTDA (“TDS”), is an international provider of information network solutions specifically designed for the healthcare providers and health insurance companies. The MedLink SolutionTM enables the real time automation of routine patient eligibility, verification, authorizations, claims processing and payment functions.


As of January 1, 2004, the Company is no longer a development stage company as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 7, Accounting and Reporting For Development Stage Companies.


The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Regulation S-B promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and does not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principals in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and results of its operations included in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003. All material intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated.

 

2. Going Concern


Since inception, the Company has incurred cumulative net losses of approximately $7,119,900 and has a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $1,886,100 at March 31, 2004. The Company expects to continue to incur substantial losses to develop its products and distribution networks, and does not expect to attain profitability in the near future. Since its inception, the Company has funded operations through short-term borrowings and equity investments in order to meet its strategic objectives. The Company's future operations are dependent upon external funding and its ability to increase revenues and reduce expenses. Management believes that sufficient funding will be available from additional related party borrowings and private placements to meet its business objectives including anticipated cash needs for working capital, for a reasonable period of time. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient funds to continue the development of its software products and distribution networks.


Further, since fiscal 2000, the Company has been deficient in the payment of Brazilian payroll taxes and Social Security taxes. At March 31, 2004, these deficiencies amounted to approximately $369,700, including a provision of interest and fines of approximately $74,400 (See Note 11). This payroll liability is included as part of the accrued payroll and related expenses within the consolidated balance sheet.

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.

 

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


a. Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sale of software products, 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) collectibility is probable. As of March 31, 2004, the Company does not have any multiple elements arrangement with any of its customers.


b. Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives (approximately 2 – 10 years) of the assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the expected assets are expensed to operations, while major repairs are capitalized.


c. Foreign Currency Translation
The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rates and all revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing during the periods in which these items arise. Translation gains and losses are deferred and accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders’ deficit. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency (TDS – Brazilian Real, Transax Australia, - Australian dollar and Transax and the Company – USD) are included in the Statement of Operations as incurred.


d. Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by including other potential common stock, including stock options and warrants, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for a period, if dilutive.
At March 31, 2004, there were 4,748,570 outstanding warrants and 2,443,270 outstanding options that were granted under the year 2003 incentive stock option plan (See Note 8). These securities may dilute the earnings per share calculation in the future.


e. Comprehensive Income
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. Other comprehensive income, which currently includes only foreign currency translation adjustments, is shown net of tax in the Statement of Stockholders’ Deficit.

f. Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is recognized based on the difference, if any, on the date of grant between the estimated market value of the Company’s stock and the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Compensation expense is recognized immediately for past services and rateably for future services over the option-vesting period.

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and the conclusions reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) in Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by EITF No. 96-18.

 

4. Financial Instruments / Credit risk


The Company performs certain credit evaluation procedures and does not require collateral for financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company believes that 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’s principal business activities are located in Brazil. Although Brazil is considered to be economically stable, it is always possible that unanticipated events in foreign countries could disrupt the Company’s operations.

The Company had net sales to 3 major customers during the quarter ended March 31, 2004, and to 2 major customers during the quarter ended March 31, 2003. Currently, TDS has three clients: Camed – Caixa de Assistência dos Funcionários do Banco Nordeste, Golden Cross and Bradesco Seguros, with Golden Cross being currently responsible for more than 90% of revenues during the quarter ended March 31, 2004.


The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions, which from time to time may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk from cash. At March 31, 2004 the Company did not have cash balances on deposit that exceeded the federally insured limits.

 

5. Software Development Costs


The Company established the technological feasibility of its MedLink Solutions in the year ended December 31, 2002. Therefore, from Inception to December 31, 2002, all costs incurred in establishing the technological feasibility of the MedLink Solutions were charged to expense when incurred, as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) Statement No. 2, Accounting for Research and Development Costs.


In accordance with SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed, the Company has capitalized certain of its software development costs incurred. The Company began to amortize the capitalized costs in the third quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003, based on the current and future revenue for each product. Amortization of these costs for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 of approximately $19,400 (2003 : $0) is included in the statement of operations as part of research and development expenses.

 

6. Property and Equipment


Property and equipment are comprised of the following:

  March 31, 2004

Computer equipment $216,125
Furniture and fixtures 14,882
Other 43,354

Less : accumulated depreciation and amortization 188,278
 
Net property and equipment $86,083


Depreciation and amortization charged to operations is approximately $18,000 and $50,700 for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 respectively.


7. Foreign operations


The Company identifies its operating segments based on its business activities and geographical locations. The Company operates within a single operating segment, being a provider of information network solutions specifically designed for healthcare providers and health insurance companies. The Company operates in Brazil, Australia and Mauritius, and has a registered mailing address in Singapore and in the USA. All of the Company’s assets are located in Brazil.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company, through TDS, is an international provider of health information management products, as described below, specifically designed for the healthcare providers and health insurance companies. The Company is dedicated to improving healthcare delivery by providing to hospitals, physician practices and health insurance companies with innovative health information management systems to manage coding, compliance, abstracting and record managements processes.


The strategic focus of the Company is to become a premier international provider of health information management network solutions for the healthcare providers and health insurance companies, enabling the real time automation of routine patient transactions. Management of the Company believes that the Company’s unique combination of complimentary solutions is designed to significantly improve the business of healthcare. The Company’s health information management products and software solutions are designed to generate operational efficiencies, improve cash flow and measure the cost and quality of care.


MedLink Solution


The Company has developed a proprietary software trademarked (Brazil only) “MedLink”, which was specifically designed and developed for the healthcare and health insurance industry enabling the real time automation of routine patient eligibility, verifications, authorizations, claims processing and payment functions that are currently performed manually (the “MedLink Solution”). A transaction fee is charged to the insurer for use of the MedLink Solution.


The MedLink Solution hosts its own network processing system (the “Total Connectivity Solution”), whereby the Company is able to provide an insurer with the ability to cost effectively process all of the transactions generated regardless of location or method of generation. Management of the Company believes that the MedLink 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.

Results of Operations
Back to Table of Contents


The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company present the accounts of the Company at March 31, 2004, and of Transax for the three months ended March 31, 2003.


For the Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 2004 Compared to the Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 2003.


The Company incurred net losses of approximately $432,200 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 ($0.03 per share), compared to a net loss of approximately $589,600 ($0.04 per share) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003. Comparative results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 include only the results of Transax and TDS. The results for the current period include the operations of the Company. Analysis of the operating losses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 is as follows:


During the first quarter of 2004, the Company generated approximately $137,600 in revenues, compared to approximately $45,200 in the first quarter of 2003. The significant increase in revenues is due to the rollout of new software contracts in Brazil.


During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, payroll and related benefits decreased to approximately $82,000 (2003: $127,600) mostly due the capitalization of R&D expenditures. The cost of product support services has slightly increased from approximately $80,300 to $84,900 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 due to the rollout of the Company’s newest contract.


During the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, the Company incurred approximately $97,600 in professional fees, compared to approximately $45,400 during the three months period ended March 31, 2003. This increase in professional fees is primarily due to an increase in expenses relating to the merger of Transax with the Company. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, professional fees consisted mainly of approximately: (i) $10,200 in audit and accounting fees (2003: $6,900 ); (ii) $5,000 in legal fees (2003 : $ 23,700); (iii) $76,200 in financing fees (2003 : $0 ); (iv) $6,200 in regulatory and filing fees (2003 : $0) and (v) $0 in monitor fees (2003 : $14,800).


During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company incurred approximately $78,900 (2003: $71,800) in related party management fees. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, the Company incurred general and administrative expenses of approximately $101,800 compared to general and administrative expenses of approximately $85,000 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2003. The higher costs are primarily due to an increase in support services required to maintain operations.


During the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, the Company incurred approximately $16,800 (2003 : $0) in investor relations costs. These costs consist mainly of the production of promotional materials directed to shareholders.


During the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, the Company incurred approximately $17,300 in foreign exchange losses, compared to a gain of $58,200 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2003. The gain in fiscal 2003 was due to favorable foreign exchange adjustments related to outstanding debts payable in $US currency.


During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company incurred approximately $25,100 in interest expenses related to cash advances and capital leases in Brazil, compared to approximately $6,300 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The increase in expenses is primarily due to the increase in cash advances payable.


During the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, interest expenses due to a related party were approximately $20,200, compared to approximately $2,000 in 2003. The increase in interest results from the company receiving cash advances, and entering into loan agreements with related parties.

Mr. Walters, the President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, derives remuneration from the Company as compensation for management and consulting services rendered. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, $33,000 was incurred by the Company to Mr. Walters for management and consulting services rendered. Furthermore, Mr. Walters has advanced funds to the Company and incurred expenses on behalf of the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Back to Table of Contents


For the Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 2004


Since inception, the Company has incurred cumulative net losses of approximately $7,119,900 and has a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $1,886,100 as at March 31, 2004. The Company expects to continue to incur substantial losses to develop its products and distribution networks, and does not expect to attain profitability in the near future. Since its inception, the Company has funded operations through short-term borrowings and equity investments in order to meet its strategic objectives. The Company's future operations are dependent upon external funding and its ability to increase revenues and reduce expenses. Management believes that sufficient funding will be available from additional related party borrowings and private placements following its merger to meet its business objectives including anticipated cash needs for working capital, for a reasonable period of time. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient funds to continue the development of its software products and distribution networks.


As at March 31, 2004, the Company’s current liabilities were approximately $2,228,100 compared to $1,857,300 at December 31, 2003. The increase in current liabilities is due primarily to additional loans and cash advances received from a related party to fund operations.


For the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, net cash flows used in operating activities were approximately $140,200 compared to $198,700 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003.


Net cash flows from financing activities during the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 were approximately $200,000 resulting primarily from a loan and cash advances from a related party, compared to approximately $247,100 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2003. The borrowings were used to fund operating activities.


Net cash flows used in investing activities amounted to approximately $83,300 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, compared to $57,100 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, the Company capitalized software research and development costs, while in 2003, some of these costs were expenses as part of the costs of product support services.


In summary, based upon the cash flow activities as previously discussed, during the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, the Company’s overall cash position decreased by approximately $6,000.


Plan of Operation
Back to Table of Contents


As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there is substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as the Company has not generated sufficient cash flow to fund its business operations and material commitments. The Company's future success and viability, therefore, are dependent upon the Company’s ability to develop, provide and market its anticipated information network solutions to healthcare providers, health insurance companies and other end-users, and the continuing ability to generate capital financing. Management is optimistic that the Company will be successful in its business operations and capital raising efforts; however, there can be no assurance that the Company 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 the Company and its shareholders.


Management of the Company anticipates an increase in operating expenses over the next three years to pay costs associated with such business operations. The Company must raise additional funds. The Company may finance these expenses with further issuances of Common Stock of the Company. The Company believes that any anticipated private placements of equity capital and debt financing, if successful, may be adequate to fund the Company’s operations over the next twelve months. Thereafter, the Company expects it will need to raise additional capital to meet long-term operating requirements. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities other than to current shareholders, the percentage ownership of its current shareholders would be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to its existing Common Stock. In addition, additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available, or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to conduct its business operations successfully, which could significantly and materially restrict the Company’s overall business operations.


Based upon a twelve-month work plan proposed by management, it is anticipated that such a work plan would require approximately $2,000,000 to $5,000,000 of financing designed to fund various commitments and business operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, management believes that the Company can satisfy its cash requirements for the next twelve months based on its ability to successfully raise capital and to obtain advances from certain investors and related parties, as necessary. The Company’s future success and viability are primarily dependent upon the Company’s current management to generate revenues from business operations and raise additional capital through further private offerings of its stock or loans from private investors. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to raise additional capital. The Company’s failure to successfully raise additional capital will have a material and adverse affect upon the Company and its shareholders.

During fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, the lender converted $225,000 of advances into 450,000 units. Each unit is comprised of one share of Common Stock and one half warrant. Each one whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional share of the Company’s Common Stock at $1.00, for a period of 24 months.

At March 31, 2004, the Company's INSS tax liabilities were approximately $139,600 plus $13,800 in interest, penalties and fines.

The Company made the first payment as per the plan in April 2004.
