PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
Overview and History
ATR Search Corporation, a Nevada corporation incorporated on March 2, 2001, was a developmental stage company engaging in the placement of information technology (“IT”) professionals with technology sector companies on a temporary and/or permanent basis.
Medicius, Inc., a Nevada corporation incorporated on July 6, 2000, was a developmental stage company with a principal business objective to provide Internet-enhanced information technology for physicians at the point of clinical decision. The software systems, communication tools and suite of software applications employed by Medicius, Inc. permits the office practice physician to request critical patient medical and/or medication information via the Internet on a Microsoft Windows CE-based Personal Digital Assistant (“PDA”) at, or prior to the point-of-care.
The system captures and displays the requested information, and overlays medical treatment protocols and medical step therapies (steps and procedures that insurance companies issue for treating illnesses a physician has not treated before), creating not only a patient specific historical medical chart, but also suggested treatment alternatives, approved medications and diagnosis specific protocols.
Utilization of this system by the practicing physician enhances clinical decision-making, improves physician productivity, insures formulary compliance, reduces the cost of healthcare and positively impacts the care provided to the patient.
On June 17, 2002 a shareholder vote approved the merger of Medicius, Inc. into ATR Search Corporation whereby ATR Search Corporation adopted the business model of Medicius, Inc. and on August 2, 2002 Amended Articles of Incorporation were filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada changing the name of the company to CareDecision Corporation (“CareDecision” or the “Company”).
#
Our Amended Articles of Incorporation (see exhibit 3c) authorize us to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock at a par value of $0.001 per share and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock at a par value of $0.001 per share. As of February 9, 2004 we had 136,249,921 shares of our Common Stock outstanding. It may be necessary to raise additional funds and/or reduce cash expenditures in the next 12 months. Funds could be generated through the issuance of additional stock. Cash expenditures could be reduced through the lay-off of personnel and or a reduction in employee salaries or benefits.
Industry Background
Information Technology
Technological improvements over the past few years have caused ever increasing growth in high tech and in information technology in particular. Established companies have responded to this increased growth by redirecting their resources to develop products to meet the demands of the information age. Additionally, relatively new companies have built their businesses around, and continue to focus on, providing new and improved means of doing business. Although, a number of technologies, even those employing the Internet as a backbone, have failed to achieve the expected information transformation, in almost all instances, the communication of electronic data has achieved universal support.
E-Business Technology for the Lodging Industry
In the early 1980s hotels and motels emerged as a premier market for the transmission of news, entertainment and information to their transient guests. The adoption of multi-channel cable television lead a revolution of technology adoption and has transformed the lodging industry, once known more for brand name appeal and competitive market pricing into a highly competitive and market driven industry for technology adaptation. The transition has resulted in several generations of change over the past twenty years that has transformed the average hotel room from a place to sleep with a few entertainment and news outlet alternatives, to an industry where hotel rooms now serve as surrogate business offices, entertainment facilities with links to communication satellites, and wireless and wired communications centers.
Medical Information Technology
Currently, the overwhelming majority of clinical information exists in proprietary Active Server Pages (paper, mainframes, and physician practice management systems). The extraction and sharing of this information is a time consuming and costly process. For these reasons, the medical industry is moving towards transferring this information into electronic format for easy access. Each segment of the medical industry (physicians, labs, insurance companies, etc.) recognizes and embraces the efficiencies and cost reductions that can be realized through the electronic exchange of data.
Over the last decade managed care has transformed healthcare into a highly competitive and market driven industry. The transition has resulted in the elimination of many of the unnecessary costs that had historically contributed to the continued and unabated acceleration of the cost of health care. One crucial segment, which has remained resistant to ongoing efforts to realize real and obvious opportunities to affect cost reductions, lies in the means of communications resident within the industry.
#
The nature of domestic healthcare delivery has resulted in a highly fragmented system involving hundreds of thousands of payor and provider organizations scattered across a broad geographical landscape. Each of these locations employs diverse and incompatible information systems that have restricted electronic communication of vital medical and administrative information between the participants.
Additionally, healthcare mainly relies on paper communication processes. We estimate that current healthcare administration costs exceed $300 billion annually. It is management’s belief that online process automation and transaction processing solutions can eliminate over 50% of those costs, which are directly attributable to the time and expense associated with manual processing for routine processes and transactions.
The Satellite Media Marketplace
The cable television industry is reaching maturity. With few exceptions most of the country is wired and although regulation does somewhat limit the competition between cable television providers, most Americans can have affordable cable entertainment, news and communications piped directly into their homes. The related satellite re-broadcast industry, which at some levels competes with cable television, has followed a slower path to maturity. Satellite re-broadcasting has been available since the early 1960s but for its first twenty five years the industry seemed content to provide closed circuit “pay per view” entertainment and sports events primarily to large audiences.
What we now know as the satellite media industry began as a novelty in the 1980s as several pioneer companies and services packaged the traditional broadcast network satellite broadcast signals and then resold the package to subscribers who could afford to install 30’ satellite signal capture dishes. With the advent of smaller satellite signal capture dishes and better packaging; the novelty of the 1980s has now turned into a large growth industry. Satellite media services compete to offer standard broadcast services, but they also compete to offer special packaged services of entertainment and especially sporting events.
Principal Products and Services
Our principal products are: an E-Health handheld information appliance (PDA) software application package, and a permanently affixed handheld information appliance and Wi-Fi (wireless) network designed for the hotel, motel and apartment marketplace and a handheld wireless information appliance for the satellite media market. We have applied for and received provisional approval for a family of trademarks making use of the mark MD@. The provisional approval applies to the first six individual marks applied for by us. In addition, we are in the process of applying for marks associated with our ResidenceWare hotel/motel products and technologies and our wireless SateLink products and technologies for the satellite media market.
We presently have a comprehensive suite of medical information technology, cooperative advertising, instant messaging and fulfillment, and electronic commerce applications that are Internet enhanced, integrated for medical professional use, and hotel management/guest use, both software suites functioning through networks of wireless PDA Internet appliances. Our applications have been designed to meet the needs of the inpatient and outpatient medical environments, and the hotel management and guest (consumer), and are not just commercially viable but also regulatory standard compliant. Our satellite media applications leverage information obtained from a communications satellite. Additionally, our software applications were conceived and implemented to offer the management level user, either the medical professional or hotel manager, the ability to manage prospective and retrospective commerce.
We have filed two broad based patent applications and intend to file derivative patent applications covering the processes, use and functionality of our technologies and products. Our satellite media product is designed for use by installation and customer support technicians and offers instant and secure communication between the individual subscriber and the satellite broadcast service.
Our software is designed to integrate point of service applications. The medical appliance, the longest available product, monitors treatment protocols and up to the moment patient histories coupled with real-time on-line medical insurance claims submission. Our ultimate key to success resides in providing the private practice physician with the capability to, sequentially, learn about the history of his or her patient during, or prior to, entering the examining room, treat the patient and update the insurer of the episode of care. Accomplishing these objectives resolves a major dilemma for the health care provider; instantaneous communication of vital patient related information at or before the patient encounter.
Our medical technologies, the focus of one of the broad based patent applications now in the patent prosecution stage, are grounded in the central need to furnish the doctor with crucial point-of-care patient information rapidly and reliably via a PDA. The technologies utilize the power of the Internet to move large amounts of data to and from a variety of platforms securely via a powerful Windows CE based PDA designed for portability and upgradability. Totally compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), this PDA technology is among the first to offer complicated and real-time point of care applications, previously legacy (mainframe or PC network) system applications, on a totally portable (PDA) appliance.
The Wi-Fi hotel/motel and apartment software makes use of much of the foundation technologies resident in the medical product, however, given the differences in the two markets that the products service, the hotel/motel product is much more cooperative oriented, offering more consumer transactional services with the compliment of advertising.
Our technologies and products for the hotel/motel marketplace are designed to furnish hotel and motel guests with a menu of food service, office services and other remote service (dry cleaning for instance) choices that can be electronically ordered through our PDA-based information appliance for delivery directly to the hotel/motel guest. Employing the latest in commercial Wi-Fi technology, we wrapped the time and volume tested commercial technologies into our patent pending PDA communication networking technologies, allowing us to be the first to offer complex and real-time point of sale applications through a totally wireless (PDA) appliance.
The satellite broadcast industry product also makes use of much of the foundation technologies resident in the medical product, however, given the differences in the two markets that the products service, the satellite broadcast product is much more security and customer service oriented, offering the satellite broadcast company the ability to better configure their services for the subscriber. This product also allows the office bound sales agent to be able to concentrate on the sale of additional services to subscribers.
Our technologies and products for the satellite broadcast marketplace are designed to allow the on-site technician the ability to configure a subscriber system in seconds while also allowing the satellite broadcast company to control the on-site technician, a person who is typically not employed by the satellite broadcast concern, thereby cutting down on fraud and waste inherent to their business models. Our product employs their proprietary technologies coupled with the latest off-the-shelf wireless communication devices into their patent pending PDA communication networking technologies, allowing us to be the first to offer complex and real-time point of sale applications through a wireless (PDA) appliance that communicates with a satellite.
Our PDA software operates on any Microsoft Windows CE “Pocket PC” based handheld device, either in a wireless or “wired” mode. The local host for our PDA devices is a Windows (9X, NT or later) based PC, which, in turn, permits one to eight of the aforementioned PDAs to be linked to either a medical network or hotel/motel wide area network, or help-desk network, and allows each PDA to become a uniquely identified mobile node on that network, independent of PC linkage, thereby, assisting the professional, whether he be a doctor, hotel owner, hotel guest or satellite broadcast technician.
Our PDA software provides rules based software capabilities and the ability to receive order fulfillment information for over 5,000 users simultaneously, which represents approximately 3 years of user encounters in a typical network setting, and allows the user to access financial and technical data and/or rules, coverages and policies.
In May 2003 we entered into an agreement with PCHertz.com, Inc. of Fargo, ND for the distribution of and servicing of our products and services for the hotel/motel industry. The agreement with PCHertz.com, Inc. has resulted in a series of orders for our hotel/motel products and services from five hotel groups, owners of hotels and motels in the states of California, Arizona, Illinois, Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Virginia, and Georgia. Initial placement of product, now in the process of early implementation under these agreements, will total at least 1450 of our ResidenceWare units. In December 2003 and February 2004 we received additional orders for our ResidenceWare units from two additional groups of hotels, with additional orders from South Dakota, Minnesota and on the east coast in New Jersey, New York state and New York City. Additional placement of product, which will follow our earlier implementations, will total at least another 650 of our ResidenceWare units.
Our business plan for our ResidenceWare hotel/motel products and services calls for us to receive revenue from three separate sources: (1) sale and installation of the ResidenceWare units and the building of the ResidenceWare e-business networks; (2) sale of advertising space to local and national merchants, where this advertising will be displayed on all ResidenceWare units at one or more participating hotels; and, (3) transaction fees received every time a hotel guest makes use of a ResidenceWare unit to transact e-business.
On September 23, 2003 we signed a Preliminary Agreement to Merge with MDU Services Inc. (“MDUS”), a Texas-based provider of private digital utility services to multiple tenant residential and business building sites, hotels/motels and universities. The Preliminary Agreement to merge specifies how CareDecision and MDUS desire to execute a "triangle" merger agreement whereby CareDecision shall acquire MDUS and then merge MDUS into a subsidiary corporation, MDU Media Corporation (the "Merger Sub"). As of the date of this filing we have executed an extension to our initial agreement and are working toward a definitive agreement and plan of merger.
In September 2003 we began discussions with a company that has varied interests, but primarily in the news, media and broadcast industries (“target company”). These discussions originally involved the target company’s use of our SateLink product and technologies for its satellite re-broadcast properties. Our SateLink product is designed to be used by the installation and service organizations and provides wireless satellite dish and subscriber service management. We expanded our discussions with the target company in December 2003. The discussions are on going but are awaiting certain regulatory approvals.
In October 2003 we signed a marketing and development agreement with PracticeXpert, Inc. (“PXPT”) whereby PXPT will employ CareDecision to merge our MD@Hand products with the PXPT suite of products. The agreement also called for PXPT to market our MD@Hand products as integrated products to existing and potential clients of PXPT in the U.S.
Possibly as a result of our agreement with PXPT, in December 2003 several persons and entities interested in acquiring or exclusively licensing portions of our medical software contacted us. Acceptance of several of the proposals discussed would require us to provide substantial investment in the transfer of our technologies or put constraints on us that would limit our ability to market our similar technology for the lodging and satellite broadcast markets. We are still studying several proposals, have subsequently received additional and revised proposals, and have accepted one proposal from a Denver, CO based medical IT company.
New Product Offerings
The company, working with one of the two major satellite media re-broadcast companies has developed its SateLink PDA based communication and e-business products. The company is just leaving the development phase but still maintains development personnel to adapt its technologies into new products and applications.
Distribution, Marketing and Customer Relations
Management intends to implement an aggressive but targeted marketing campaign to educate healthcare providers about our medical technology solutions, hotel/motel owners about our technologies and products for the hotel/motel marketplace and our technologies and products for the satellite broadcast marketplace by demonstrating the benefits obtained through their use. The industry focused marketing campaigns are intended to leverage our efforts by qualifying customers’ needs and interests.
The CareDecision medical marketing strategy will ultimately target the physician providers through the provision of technology and services that specifically respond to their needs and requirements. The physician will be the ultimate determinant as to the success of any given system; therefore, it is incumbent on any marketing strategy to focus on the satisfaction of their needs. CareDecision has created PDA-centric products and a suite of Internet enhanced software applications that include those features that specifically respond to the requirements of the practicing physician. We believe that the combination of unique and responsive benefits derived from our system coupled with its simplicity, portability, convenience and ease of use will initiate and propel the desired transition from paper processes.
Healthcare is an interdependent web of payors and providers. CareDecision’s success is reliant on targeting multiple segments within the industry. As has been previously stated, although the physician will determine a product’s utilization, it is the other components of the system that will bear the cost of the product’s introduction and ongoing employment. Insurers and industry service providers must participate in the electronic network, both logistically and financially to complete the link that will provide utility and value to all participants. It is incumbent on us to therefore extend our marketing strategy to facilitate this reality.
Implicit to our medical marketing strategy is the contracting of multiple payors, pharmacy benefit management entities, medical case management entities and clinical labs within a targeted region that provides for system integration to the product and payment for transactions communicated to or from the participating physicians. Once the network has been established the product will be distributed to those physicians included within the contracted payors Provider Network. We will rely on those contracted payors to support and assist in the distribution of the product to the said physicians.
The CareDecision hotel/motel marketing strategy will ultimately target hotel/motel owners through the provision of technology and services that specifically respond to their needs and requirements. The hotel/motel owners will be the ultimate determinant as to the success of any given system; therefore, it is incumbent on any marketing strategy to focus on the satisfaction of their needs. CareDecision has designed products to furnish hotel and motel guests with a menu of food service, office services and other remote services that include those features that specifically respond to the requirements of the hotel/motel owner. We believe that the combination of unique and responsive benefits derived from our system coupled with its simplicity, portability, convenience and ease of use will initiate and propel its implementation throughout the industry.
The CareDecision satellite marketing strategy will ultimately target the satellite broadcast providers through the provision of technology and services that specifically respond to their needs and requirements. Each satellite provider will be the ultimate determinant as to the success of any given system; therefore, it is incumbent on any marketing strategy to focus on the satisfaction of their needs. CareDecision has designed its satellite products to allow the on-site technician the ability to configure a subscriber system in seconds while also allowing the satellite broadcast company to control the on-site technician features that specifically respond to their needs. We believe that the combination of unique and responsive benefits derived from our system coupled with its simplicity, portability, convenience and ease of use will initiate and propel its implementation throughout the industry.
We will concentrate each of our marketing efforts in specific target geographic locations that will permit the completion of our density strategy crucial to sustained penetration and long-term success. The creation of such networks will be conducted in multiple geographic locations simultaneously. Upon their completion the process employed will be introduced and replicated in other locations targeted for access.
Competition
We believe that the products we market to hotels and motels are unique. The overwhelming percentage of software for PDAs designed to work in conjunction with wireless computer networks tend to be specialized versions of existing applications that allow secure wireless connectivity. We believe our ResidenceWare applications are perhaps the first wireless applications that provide both the specific utility of focused e-business connectivity, while at the same time offering traditional wireless connectivity for most existing Internet appliances.
Historically hotels and motels have adopted specific technology that enhances the utility of either the in-room telephone(s) or the in-room cable linked television. Thus, most of the innovations in hotels and motels have leveraged devices where innovation is waning. The electronics in telephones and telephone systems are limited and, and the television’s design tends to limit its utility to one-way communication directed at the person watching. Even add-on devices such as satellite boxes for televisions and streaming LCDs for telephones add only limited functionality. The person operating the telephone or television must do something away from that device should something of interest catch their eye. Thus local merchants who may opt to advertise their products and services via closed circuit television or a streaming LCD on a telephone hope that the person watching will remember their message and visit their establishment or call for service.
Our products for hotels and motels are two-way devices. Local merchants who opt to advertise via our wireless networks through the use of our wireless ResidenceWare devices are assured that if the person viewing the advertisements sees something of interest, commerce can immediately be initiated at the device. We believe that our ResidenceWare product has no current direct competition.
The medical industry is highly competitive in the attraction and retention of physician customers, insurers and other medical providers. The number of competing companies and the size of such companies vary in different geographic areas. Generally, CareDecision is in competition with other PDA technology companies that offer medically related software suites, with the most effective competition coming from companies that possess greater capital resources, have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater name recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than do we.
There are a number of small and large companies that have announced their intentions to provide some type of Internet interconnectivity for physicians to the healthcare systems:
a.
Large publicly traded companies: WebMD, formerly known as Healtheon (HLTH), the former MedicaLogic/Medscape (merged into HLTH) and to a slightly lesser degree Cerner/Citation (CERN), IDX Corporation (IDXC) and venerable Shared Medical (acquired by Seimens) are very broadly involved in healthcare Internet based services including consumer services, E-commerce and connectivity. Of these companies only Cerner is working on a PDA based interface for physicians, although Healtheon has identified the PDA as a critical component for a network and has evaluated several designs and methods that would provide physicians with hand-held computers.
a.
PDA-based companies: PatientKeeper Corp. (formerly Virtmed), ePhysician, which last year was acquired in asset sale by Ramp Corp. (RCO) downsized and assets sold) and iScribe (recently reorganized and then into AdvacePCS have announced products that reside on 3-Com’s Palm PC. PocketScripts is another market entrant that specializes in the electronic prescriptions. Zixcorp (ZIXI) recently acquired them.
The PatientKeeper product allows physicians to capture billing information for hospital-based accounts and purports to manage receivable transactions (a mix of a 1st generation feature on a 3rd generation technology). ePhysician’s (Ramp Corp.) product offering allows prescription ordering from a PDA. On the surface, the former several of these companies provide systems that offer a few of the features of CareDecision’s system. However their approach involves a greater capital cost and is plagued with platform data management disadvantages compared to CareDecision’s product line. Most of these companies, PatientKeeper being the exception, have histories of financial troubles but nonetheless have garnered impressive valuations.
All of the PDA technology based companies have a similar broad goal to deliver PDA based data management to physicians. One company, AllScripts (MDRX) appears to be positioned to advance to a market leadership position. However, this position is defined by a product distribution of less than 2500 physicians’ office sites (1% of the total market) and does not possess a major factor in any medical trade area.
Increased competition may result in reduced operating margins and a loss in our clientele base. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and competitive pressures faced by us may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Further, as a strategic response to changes in the competitive environment, management may from time to time make certain pricing, service or marketing decisions or acquisitions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
#
Based on management’s industry experience, CareDecision believes it can build a strong reputation for the quality of our products and services as well as our client-oriented approach. We believe that our experienced employees, broad range of products and services, local and broad market expertise, and operating infrastructure enable us to compete effectively in each of our business disciplines.
Government Regulation
Federal, state, local and foreign governmental organizations may propose or institute laws or regulations concerning various aspects of the medical industry, including electronic claims processing, electronic prescriptions and privacy matters. CareDecision is not currently subject to direct regulation by any domestic or foreign governmental agency, other than regulations applicable to businesses generally, and laws or regulations directly applicable to the medical industry. However, due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet and other online services, it is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet or other online services covering issues such as user privacy, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution and characteristics and quality of products.
Furthermore, the growth and development of the market for online commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws that may impose additional burdens on those companies conducting business online. The adoption of any additional laws or regulations may decrease the demand for our products and services and increase our cost of doing business, or otherwise have an adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Proprietary Rights
We may be required to license additional products or services in the future, for use in the general operations of our business plan. We cannot assure you that these third party licenses will be available or will continue to be available to us on acceptable terms if at all. The inability to enter into and maintain any of these licenses could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. In addition, policing unauthorized use of our proprietary and other intellectual property rights could be expensive if not difficult or impossible.
We cannot guarantee that third parties will not bring claims of copyright or trademark infringement against us or claim that certain aspects of our processes or other features violates a patent they may hold. There can be no assurance that third parties will not claim that we have misappropriated their creative ideas or formats or otherwise infringed upon their proprietary rights. Any claims of infringement, with or without merit, could be time consuming to defend, result in costly litigation, divert management attention, or require us to enter into costly royalty or licensing arrangements. These potentialities could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
Employees
CareDecision currently has 5 part time and 9 full staff employees. The full time employees are situated as follows: 6 are located in the California office, one is in North Dakota, one is in the New York office and one is based in Florida. Management foresees the immediate hiring of additional employees over the next twelve months, as we generate sufficient revenues, in management’s opinion, to support hiring additional staff. No employees are covered by labor agreements or contracts and management believes our relations with our employees are good.

RISK FACTORS
The following discussion contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and in Item 6, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition or Plan of Operation.”
Our limited operating history could delay our growth and minimize your investment.
We are considered a development stage company incorporated on March 2, 2001 and thus have a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development. Such risks include, but are not limited to, dependence on the growth of use of electronic medical information and services, the adoption of PDA based Internet appliances for the transmission and display of medical information, the need to establish our brand name, the ability to establish a sufficient client base, the level of use of medical providers and the management of growth. To address these risks, we must maintain and increase our customer base, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continue to develop and improve our point of care software and patient processing system, provide superior customer service, respond to competitive developments and attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so could have a negative impact the value of our Company’s common shares and could result in the loss of your entire investment.
Our profitability and your investment will be directly affected by our competition.
Many of CareDecision’s potential competitors have longer operating histories, larger clientele bases, better service recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than do we. Increased competition may result in reduced operating margins, loss of market share and a diminished brand franchise. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and competitive pressures faced by us could harm our operating results, our business prospects, and financial condition.
We may not be able to retain our key personnel or attract additional personnel, which could affect our ability to continue as a going concern, which may diminish your return on investment.
Our performance is substantially dependent on the services and on the performance of our Management. CareDecision is, and will be, heavily dependent on the skill, acumen and services of Mr. Robert Cox (President and Director) and Mr. Keith Berman (Secretary, Treasurer and Director). Our performance also depends on our ability to attract, hire, retain and motivate our officers and key employees. The loss of the services of our executives could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. We have not entered into a long-term employment agreements with our key personnel and currently have no “Key Employee” life insurance policies. Our future success may also depend on our ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate other highly skilled technical, managerial, marketing and customer service personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract, assimilate or retain sufficiently qualified personnel. If we are unable to attract, retain, and train the necessary technical, managerial, marketing and customer service personnel, our expectations of increasing our clientele could be hindered, and the profitability of our Company reduced.
The selling security holder shares are being registered for resale in this registration statement and the sale of such shares can dilute the market price of our common stock and your return on investment.
The sale of shares can have a negative impact on the price of our common stock. No predictions can be made as to the effect, if any, that sales of our shares by the selling security holder shares being registered will have on the market price of our common stock. Nevertheless, sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception that such sales may occur, could reduce our market price.
Possible Future Issuances of Common Stock Will Have a Dilutive Affect on Existing Shareholders
The Company is authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 Shares of common stock. As of February 9, 2004, there are 136,249,921 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Additional issuances of common stock may be required to raise capital, to acquire stock or assets of other companies, to compensate employees or to undertake other activities without stockholder approval. These additional issuances of common stock will increase outstanding shares and further dilute stockholders’ interests. Because our common stock will be subject to the existing rules on penny stocks, the market liquidity for and value of our securities can be severely adversely affected.

Additionally, CareDecision has assumed the lease on the space occupied by Medicius, approximately 2300 sq. feet, located at 2660 Townsgate Road, Suite 300, Westlake Village, CA. As of April 1, 2004 there are 5 months remaining on this lease at $3,750.00 per month. We do not have any proposed programs for the renovation, improvement or development of our office space, nor do we plan to relocate our offices in the foreseeable future. If additional facilities are needed, management believes that suitable expansion space is available to meet our future needs at commercially reasonable terms.

General
CareDecision Corporation (“CareDecision”), a Nevada corporation incorporated on March 2, 2001, is a developmental stage company with a principal business objective to provide enhanced information technology (IT) for physicians, hotel and motel owners and for the satellite broadcast industry.
Our principal products are: an E-Health handheld information appliance (PDA) software application package, and a permanently affixed handheld information appliance and Wi-Fi (wireless) network designed for the hotel, motel and apartment marketplace and a handheld wireless information appliance for the satellite media market. We have applied for and received provisional approval for a family of trademarks making use of the mark MD@. The provisional approval applies to the first six individual marks applied for by us. In addition, we are in the process of applying for marks associated with our ResidenceWare hotel/motel products and technologies and our wireless SateLink products and technologies for the satellite media market.
We presently have a comprehensive suite of medical information technology, cooperative advertising, instant messaging and fulfillment, and electronic commerce applications that are Internet enhanced, integrated for medical professional use, and hotel management/guest use, both software suites functioning through networks of wireless PDA Internet appliances. Our applications have been designed to meet the needs of the inpatient and outpatient medical environments, and the hotel management and guest (consumer), and are not just commercially viable but also regulatory standard compliant. Our satellite media applications leverage information obtained from a communications satellite. Additionally, our software applications were conceived and implemented to offer the management level user, either the medical professional or hotel manager, the ability to manage prospective and retrospective commerce.
We have filed two broad based patent applications and intend to file derivative patent applications covering the processes, use and functionality of our technologies and products. Our satellite media product is designed for use by installation and customer support technicians and offers instant and secure communication between the individual subscriber and the satellite broadcast service.
Our software is designed to integrate point of service applications. The medical appliance, the longest available product, monitors treatment protocols and up to the moment patient histories coupled with real-time on-line medical insurance claims submission.
Our ultimate key to success resides in providing the private practice physician with the capability to, sequentially, learn about the history of his or her patient during, or prior to, entering the examining room, treat the patient and update the insurer of the episode of care. Accomplishing these objectives resolves a major dilemma for the health care provider; instantaneous communication of vital patient related information at or before the patient encounter.
Our medical technologies, the focus of one of the broad based patent applications now in the patent prosecution stage, are grounded in the central need to furnish the doctor with crucial point-of-care patient information rapidly and reliably via a PDA. The technologies utilize the power of the Internet to move large amounts of data to and from a variety of platforms securely via a powerful Windows CE based PDA designed for portability and upgradability. Totally compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), this PDA technology is among the first to offer complicated and real-time point of care applications, previously legacy (mainframe or PC network) system applications, on a totally portable (PDA) appliance.
The elements of our business strategy include: expanding geographically into key markets through a combination of opening new offices and developing relationships with clients to generate demand for our services; recruiting qualified, medical software and other technical personnel to perform technical, implementation and support duties as contracts are entered into, although there can be no assurance that any such contracts will be secured; and pursuing entry into new markets complementary to CareDecision’s proposed operations.
Results of Operation
Revenues. In fiscal 2003, we generated $75,813 in revenue compared to $2,000 revenue generated in 2002. As a development stage company, our efforts have been focused mainly on the development of our software products. We believe that our initial revenues during our development stage will be primarily dependent upon our ability to cost effectively and efficiently develop our software systems, communication tools and suite of software applications. Our priorities for the next 12 months of operations are to continue to develop and market our products, to establish our business through the use of the Internet and though client referrals. Realization of increasing revenues for our software products during the next fiscal year is vital to our plan of operations. There are no guarantees that we will be able to compete successfully or that the competitive pressures we may face will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were $148,192 in fiscal 2003 compared with $77,712 in fiscal 2002. General and Administrative expenses have increased as we prepare to introduce our software products.
Payroll expense. Payroll expense consists primarily of management and employee salaries. In fiscal 2003 payroll expense was $213,012 compared with $186,819 in fiscal 2002. A management team has been put in place to oversee the launch of our software systems, communication tools and suite of software applications. Management is focused on controlling payroll expenses until such time as revenues are generated sufficient to increase the salary paid to our executives.
Professional fees. Professional fees include fees paid to our accountants and attorneys. Our professional fees were $62,422 in fiscal 2003 compared with $171,852 in fiscal 2002. Our 2002 professional fees were primarily due the merger that occurred between our Company and Medicius, Inc.
Stock-based compensation. Our stock-based compensation was $1,433,797 in fiscal 2003 compared with $1,319,482 in fiscal 2002. In an effort to conserve our cash resources during fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2003, we retained the services of six consultants who agreed to provide their professional services for stock and stock options in lieu of cash. We typically retain these consultants for a period of either 90 days or 180 days duration.
Software development. Software development costs were $60,971 in fiscal 2003 compared with $129,000 in fiscal 2002. This represents the costs associated with the further development of the software obtained through our merger with Medicius, Inc.
Impairment loss on operating assets. Impairment loss on operating assets was $0 in fiscal 2003 compared with $1,000,770 in fiscal 2002. On December 31, 2003, the Company determined that it should write down certain fixed assets acquired with the Medicius, Inc. merger as an impairment loss after comparing the carrying value of the assets with the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets. In addition the Company has determined that it might sell or hypothicate certain of these assets. Accordingly, the write down resulted in the realization of a $1,000,770 impairment loss on operating assets recorded on the Restated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Depreciation. Depreciation was $132,587 in fiscal 2003 compared with $41,310 in fiscal 2002. This represents depreciation on the assets of the Company.
Total expenses. We incurred total expenses for the year ended 2003 of $2,050,981 compared with $2,926,945 in fiscal 2002. Expenditures in 2003 were primarily due to costs incurred for stock-based compensation, payroll expense and general and administrative expenses.
Net operating loss. The net operating loss incurred during fiscal 2003 was $1,975,168 compared with $2,924,945 in fiscal 2002. Net operating loss is the result of revenue minus total expenses. We have reduced out net operating loss by approximately one half from 2002 to 2003 by increasing our revenues while reducing total expenses.
Loss on settlement. We incurred a loss on settlement for the year ended 2003 of $77,094 compared with $25,925 in fiscal 2002. This expense relates to the settlement outlined in Part I Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
Interest income. We received interest income for the year ended 2003 of $561 compared with $2,230 in fiscal 2002. This is the income the Company earns on its cash and equivalents.
Interest expenses. We incurred interest expense for the year ended 2003 of $117,107 compared with $88,802 in fiscal 2002. Expenditures in 2003 were primarily due to interest costs accrued to the Note from M&E Equities, LLC. The Company restructured the M&E Note on March 4, 2004, which will have the effect of lowering accrued interest expense for the current fiscal year.
Net Loss. We incurred a total net loss of $2,168,808 in fiscal 2003 compared with a total net loss of $3,037,442 in fiscal 2002. We anticipated incurring these losses during our initial commencement of operations until such time as we will realize increased revenues from our software systems, communication tools and suite of software applications in the fiscal year 2004.
#
Financial Condition and Liquidity
Since inception, we have funded operations primarily through notes issued and the net cash proceeds from private offerings of our common stock. At December 31, 2003, we had cash and cash equivalents of $29,273 and total stockholders’ equity of $77,886; however, we had negative working capital of $578,002. The Company has only recently left the development stage and as such it would be expected that its funding requirements would grow as it hires additional staff. The Company expects that it will, from time to time, return to the capital markets seeking additional equity capital or debt to further our operations. The Company’s products require us to advance cash for our network installations prior to the receipt of any cash flow from the network installations. Thus, there is a probability that cash generated from operations in future periods will lag expenses and should there be insufficient resources to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may sell additional equity or debt securities, or through bank credit facilities. The issuance of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in additional dilution to our shareholders.
Net cash used by operating activities during fiscal 2003 was $466,276, which was primarily due to the net loss of $2,168,808 offset by shares issued for stock-based compensation of $1,433,797. This compares to net cash used by operating activities during fiscal 2002 of $624,761, which was primarily due to a net loss of $3,037,442 offset by shares issued for stock-based compensation of $1,319,482 and an impairment loss on operating assets of $1,000,770.
Net cash provided by investing activities during fiscal 2003 and 2002 was $0. As cash flow allows the Company may enter into investing activities on a case-by-case basis should management believe it prudent to do so.
Net cash provided by financing activities in fiscal 2003 was $384,448 comprised of $96,968 in proceeds from notes payable to shareholders, $2,180 from proceeds relating to a revolving line of credit, $50,000 in proceeds from long-term debts and $235,300 received from the issuance of common stock. This compares to net cash provided by financing activities during fiscal 2002 of $735,862 comprised of $475,000 in proceeds from long-term debts and $260,862 received from the issuance of common stock.

(a Development Stage Company)
Notes
Note 1 – Significant accounting policies and procedures
Organization
The Company was organized March 2, 2001 (Date of Inception) under the laws of the State of Nevada, as ATR Search Corporation. On June 21, 2002, the Company merged Medicius, Inc. and filed amended articles of incorporation changing its name to CareDecision Corporation.
The Company has a limited history of operations, and in accordance with SFAS #7, the Company is considered a development stage company.
Merger agreement with Medicius, Inc. (MED)
On June 21, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with MED whereby the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of MED in exchange for 38,043,863 voting shares of the Company’s $0.001 par value common stock. The merger was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting as applicable to “change of control” mergers because the former stockholders of MED controlled the Company’s common stock immediately upon conclusion of the transaction. The value of the acquired fixed assets on the merger date was $1,704,703.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company maintains a cash balance in a non-interest-bearing account that currently does not exceed federally insured limits. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There are no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2003 and 2002.
Investments
Investments in companies over which the Company exercises significant influence are accounted for by the equity method whereby the Company includes its proportionate share of earnings and losses of such companies in earnings. Other long-term investments are recorded at cost and are written down to their estimated recoverable amount if there is evidence of a decline in value, which is other than temporary.
Fixed assets
Fixed assets are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount. The cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method based on the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term based on the following life expectancy:
Computer equipment
5 years
Software
5 years
Office furniture and fixtures
7 years
Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to operations as incurred. Major improvements and replacements, which extend the useful life of an asset, are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. When assets are retired or sold, the costs and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.
Consolidation policy
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiary corporations, after elimination of all material intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits. Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries representing ownership of at least 20% but less than 50%, are accounted for under the equity method. Nonmarketable investments in which the Company has less than 20% ownership and in which it does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee are initially recorded at cost and periodically reviewed for impairment. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company did not have nonmarketable investments.

Notes
Revenue recognition
Revenue from proprietary software sales that does not require further commitment from the company is recognized upon shipment. Consulting revenue is recognized when the services are rendered. License revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the license.
The cost of services, consisting of staff payroll, outside services, equipment rental, communication costs and supplies, is expensed as incurred.
Advertising costs
The Company expenses all costs of advertising as incurred. There were no advertising costs included in general and administrative expenses as of December 31, 2003 and 2002.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2003 and 2002. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets and intangibles periodically to determine potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets with the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets, including cash flows from disposition. Should the sum of the expected future cash flows be less than the carrying value, the Company would recognize an impairment loss. An impairment loss would be measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets and intangibles. There were no impairment losses recognized in 2003.
On December 31, 2003, the Company determined that it should write down certain fixed assets acquired with the Medicius, Inc. merger as an impairment loss after comparing the carrying value of the assets with the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets. In addition the company has determined that it might sell or hypothicate certain of these assets. Accordingly, the write down resulted in the realization of a $1,000,770 impairment loss on operating assets recorded on the Restated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Reporting on the costs of start-up activities
Statement of Position 98-5 (SOP 98-5), “Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities,” which provides guidance on the financial reporting of start-up costs and organizational costs, requires most costs of start-up activities and organizational costs to be expensed as incurred. SOP 98-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. With the adoption of SOP 98-5, there has been little or no effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Notes
Loss per share
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS #128) “Earnings Per Share”. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing losses available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. There were no securities considered to be dilutive in the computation of earnings (loss) per share.
Comprehensive Income
SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income", establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. The Company had no items of other comprehensive income and therefore has not presented a statement of comprehensive income.
Segment reporting
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.
Income taxes
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”) for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.
Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
Recent pronouncements
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and supersedes EITF No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 will be adopted for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2003.

Notes
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure—an amendment of SFAS No. 123.” This Statement amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The adoption of SFAS No. 148 is not expected to have a material impact on the company’s financial position or results of operations.
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 45, “Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees and Indebtedness of Others”, an interpretation of FIN No. 5, 57 and 107, and rescission of FIN No. 34, “Disclosure of Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others”. FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by the guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also requires that a guarantor recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of this interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2003; while, the provisions of the disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The Company believes that the adoption of such interpretation does not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations and has adopted such interpretation during fiscal year 2003, as required.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. FIN No. 46 requires that variable interest entities be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or is entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. FIN No. 46 also requires disclosures about variable interest entities that companies are not required to consolidate but in which a company has a significant variable interest. The consolidation requirements of FIN No. 46 will apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements will apply to entities established prior to January 31, 2003 in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The disclosure requirements will apply in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. The company adopted the provisions of FIN No. 46 during the first quarter of fiscal 2003.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS No. 150 changes the classification in the statement of financial position of certain common financial instruments from either equity or mezzanine presentation to liabilities and requires an issuer of those financial statements to recognize changes in fair value or redemption amount, as applicable, in earnings. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and with one exception, is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The effect of adopting SFAS No. 150 will be recognized as a cumulative effect of an accounting change as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Restatement of prior periods is not permitted. SFAS No. 150 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Notes
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company applies Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and Related Interpretations, in accounting for stock options issued to employees. Under APB No. 25, employee compensation cost is recognized when estimated fair value of the underlying stock on date of the grant exceeds exercise price of the stock option. For stock options and warrants issued to non-employees, the Company applies SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which requires the recognition of compensation cost based upon the fair value of stock options at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The following table represents the effect on net loss and loss per share if the Company had applied the fair value based method and recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS No. 123”), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation:
2003 | 2002 | ||||||||
Net (loss), as reported | $ | (2,168,808 | ) | $ | (3,037,442 | ) | |||
Deduct: Total stock-based non-employee compensation expense determined under fair value based methods for all awards, net of related tax effects | (221,450 | ) | ( - | ) | |||||
Pro forma net (loss) | $ | (2,390,258 | ) | $ | (3,037,442 | ) | |||
Net (loss) per common share | |||||||||
Basic (loss) per share, as reported | $ | (.02 | ) | $ | (.07 | ) | |||
Basic per share, pro forma | $ | (.025 | ) | $ | (.07 | ) |
As required, the pro forma disclosures above include options granted during each fiscal year. Consequently, the effects of applying SFAS No. 123 for providing pro forma disclosures may not be representative of the effects on reported net income for future years until all options outstanding are included in the pro forma disclosures.
Year end
The Company has adopted December 31 as its fiscal year end.

Notes
Note 2 – Restatement of financial statements due to change in accounting principle
The Company determined during the year ending December 31, 2003 that it is appropriate to reclassify software acquired in 2001 and 2002 from intellectual property to fixed assets. The Company also determined that it should write down certain assets as an impairment loss given its current business focus and its decision to sell or hypothicate these assets. The effect of the change required a restatement of the December 31, 2002 financial statements in order to properly reflect the asset reclassification and the related adjustment to depreciation expense and impairment loss on operating assets. The effect of this change was to increase net loss for the year ended December 31, 2002 by $1,000,770. Retained earnings as of January 1, 2002 has been adjusted for the retroactive application of the change in accounting principle.
Note 3 – Fixed assets

Note 7 – Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109"), which requires use of the liability method. SFAS No. 109 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before provision for income taxes. The sources and tax effects of the differences are as follows:
U.S federal statutory rate (34.0%)
Valuation reserve 34.0%
Total -%

Note 10 – Warrants and stock options
Warrants
During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company issued 5,848,977 warrants in conjunction with the merger of Medicius, Inc. The warrants are convertible at a strike price of $.04, each warrant is exercisable into one share of the Company’s $0.001 par value common stock. The fair value of the warrants has been estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average fair value of these warrants was $0.0261. The following assumptions were used in computing the fair value of these warrants: weighted average risk-free interest rate of 5.05%, zero dividend yield, volatility of the Company's common stock of 51% and an expected life of the warrants of two years. The warrants expire on June 27, 2005. Approximately $152,658 was added to the value of the assets acquired from the Medicius, Inc. merger as a result of the warrants. The added value was then written down and recorded as “impairment loss” for the year ended December 31, 2002.
During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company’s merger partner Medicius, Inc. issued a merger formula adjusted 12,000,000 Class A warrants to M and E Equities, Inc. The warrants are convertible at a strike price of $.0667, each Class A warrant exercisable into one share of the Company’s $0.001 par value common stock. The warrants expire on January 4, 2005. Upon exercise of each of the Class A warrants, if any, the Company’s merger partner Medicius, Inc. is obligated to issue one Class C warrant for each Class A warrant exercised, or a total issuance of up to 12,000,000 merger formula adjusted Class C warrants. The Class C warrants are convertible at a strike price of $.20, each Class C warrant exercisable into one share of the Company’s $0.001 par value common stock. The warrants expire on January 4, 2005. As of December 31, 2003 the Company has reserved 24 million of its common stock shares should the warrantholders decide to exercise any of the 12 million Class A warrants before they expire, and any Class C warrants, should the Class A warrants have been exercised before the Class C warrants expire.
No warrants have been exercised through December 31, 2003 and 2002.

Pro forma information regarding net income and net income per share, as disclosed in Note 1, has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its non-employee stock-based compensation plans and other stock options under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123. The fair value of each option and warrant grant are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants under the fixed option plan:
|
| 2003 |
| 2002 | ||||
Average risk-free interest rates |
|
| 5.05 | % |
|

|
|

|
Volatility |
|
| 51.0 | % |
|
| 51.0 | % |
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of short-term traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. During 2003 and 2002, there were no options granted with an exercise price below the fair value of the underlying stock at the grant date.
The weighted average fair value of options granted with exercise prices at the current fair value of the underlying stock during 2003 was approximately $0.043 per option.

Notes
Note 11 – Commitments and contingencies
Litigations
The Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities, including product liability claims. Management believes that any liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
Note 12 – Subsequent events
M and E Equities, LLC Renegotiated Note
Based on terms negotiated on March 4, 2002, and after a further documentation process that was completed on April 23, 2002, Medicius, Inc., the Company’s merger partner in its June 2002 merger, was loaned $475,000 from M and E Equities, LLC (M&E) (as previously discussed in Note 6). A condition of the loan stipulated that Medicius, Inc. complete its merger with the Company and become a fully reporting public company. As of December 31, 2003, after a partial payment of interest and principal and a settlement of a legal dispute that arose over this note and other issues, the remaining value of the note and accrued interest was $522,527. On March 2, 2004, the Company renegotiated its debt with M&E. The terms of the agreement are stipulated as follows:
•
$320,000 is paid to M&E by Wells & Company, Inc., Lima Capital, Inc., JC Financial, Inc. and Corporate Architects, Inc. to satisfy a remaining principal amount of $400,000.
•
M&E agreed to transfer 10,000,000 of the Class A Warrants, formerly issued by Medicius, Inc., with an expiration date of January 5, 2005 to Empyreon.net Corp. for $30,000, and 2,000,000 Class A Warrants to Mr. Moshe Mendlowitz for $20.00. The Company will incur interest expense during the first quarter ended March 31, 2004 totaling $405,700, the deemed value of the Warrants on the transfer date based on the Black-Scholes Valuation Model.
•
The outstanding note balance of $200,526 was recapitalized into 206,526 shares of the Company’s $0.001 par value Class A 2002 Convertible Preferred Stock and registered in M&E’s name. Each share of Class A 2002 Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 18 shares (3,717,468 total) of the Company’s $0.001 par value common stock at $0.055556 per share. M&E agrees to hold the Preferred Shares for a minimum of one year, pursuant to Rule 144, with no conversions allowed during that period of time. After the one year, M&E may convert and sell only 500,000 shares of the Company’s $0.001 par value common stock every 60 days as permissible by Rule 144.
Pinnacle Investment Partners, LP Promissory Note
On March 24, 2004, the Company was loaned $700,000 from Pinnacle Investment Partners, LP (Pinnacle). The Secured Convertible Promissory Note bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum, matures September 25, 2004, except if extended for an additional six months at the option of the company, and is secured by 14,000,000 shares of the Company’s $0.001 par value common stock. Pinnacle may, at its option, at any time from time to time, elect to convert some or all of the then-outstanding principal of the Note into shares of the Company’s $0.001 par value common stock at a conversion price of $0.08 per share, unless such conversion would result in Pinnacle being deemed the “beneficial owner” of 4.99% or more of the then-outstanding Common Shares within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In the event the Company fails to pay any installment or principal or interest when due, the interest rate will then accrue at a rate of 24% per annum on the unpaid balance until the payment default is cured.

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES
We have had no disagreements with our independent accountants.
ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Quarterly evaluation of the Company's Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls.
Within the 90 days prior to the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its "disclosure controls and procedures" (Disclosure Controls), and its "internal controls and procedures for financial reporting" (Internal Controls). This evaluation (the Controls Evaluation) was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Rules adopted by the SEC require that in this section of the Annual Report we present the conclusions of the CEO and the CFO about the effectiveness of our Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls based on and as of the date of the Controls Evaluation.
CEO and CFO Certifications.
Appearing immediately following the Signatures section of this Annual Report there is form of "Certification" of the CEO and the CFO. This Certification is required in accord with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Section 302 Certification). This section of the Annual Report, which you are currently reading is the information concerning the Controls Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls.
Disclosure Controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), such as this Annual Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal Controls are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (1) our transactions are properly authorized; (2) our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use; and (3) our transactions are properly recorded and reported, all to permit the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls.
The company's management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls or our Internal Controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected.
These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.
The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Scope of the Controls Evaluation.
The CEO/CFO evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and our Internal Controls included a review of the controls' objectives and design, the controls' implementation by the company and the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this Annual Report. In the course of the Controls Evaluation, we sought to identify data errors, controls problems or acts of fraud and to confirm that appropriate corrective action, including process improvements, were being undertaken. This type of evaluation will be done on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions concerning controls effectiveness can be reported in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB and Annual Report on Form 10- KSB. Our Internal Controls are also evaluated on an ongoing basis by other personnel in our organization and by our independent auditors in connection with their audit and review activities. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our Disclosure Controls and our Internal Controls and to make modifications as necessary; our intent in this regard is that the Disclosure Controls and the Internal Controls will be maintained as dynamic systems that change (including with improvements and corrections) as conditions warrant. Among other matters, we sought in our evaluation to determine whether there were any "significant deficiencies" or "material weaknesses" in the company's Internal Controls, or whether the company had identified any acts of fraud involving personnel who have a significant role in the company's Internal Controls. This information was important both for the Controls Evaluation generally and because items 5 and 6 in the Section 302 Certifications of the CEO and CFO require that the CEO and CFO disclose that information to our Board's Audit Committee (or persons performing the equivalent functions) and to our independent auditors and to report on related matters in this section of the Annual Report. In the professional auditing literature, "significant deficiencies" are referred to as "reportable conditions"; these are control issues that could have a significant adverse effect on the ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data in the financial statements.
A "material weakness" is defined in the auditing literature as a particularly serious reportable condition where the internal control does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud may occur in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We also sought to deal with other controls matters in the Controls Evaluation, and in each case if a problem was identified, we considered what revision, improvement and/or correction to make in accord with our on-going procedures. In accord with SEC requirements, the CEO and CFO note that, since the date of the Controls Evaluation to the date of this Annual Report, there have been no significant changes in Internal Controls or in other factors that could significantly affect Internal Controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
#
Conclusions.
Based upon the Controls Evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, subject to the limitations noted above, our Disclosure Controls are effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to management, including the CEO and CFO, particularly during the period when our periodic reports are being prepared, and that our Internal Controls are effective to provide reasonable assurance that our financial statements are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
