The Company
Overview
Health Systems Solutions, Inc., through its two wholly owned subsidiaries, Healthcare Quality Solutions, Inc. (“HQS”) and Carekeeper Solutions, Inc. (“CKS”), designs, develops, markets, sells and supports both licensed and web-based, management information and business intelligence information technology systems and related services. These products are designed to assist home health care companies more effectively manage the clinical, operational and financial aspects of their business and compete effectively in the Prospective Payment System (PPS) and managed care environments. Our focus is to help home health care providers streamline their operations and better serve their patients. In this regard, we offer several comprehensive software solutions.
HQS delivers its services using the software as a service model (SaaS) where customers use their standard personal computers and Microsoft Internet Explorer and access to the Internet to utilize the Company’s software services that reside on HSS-owned servers. The HQS architecture and fee structure enables our customers to rapidly and cost-effectively implement our services for a modest transactional fee charged when a customer uses our programs to process patient clinical assessments and obtain management reports.
CKS delivers software using both: (i) a software as a service model (SaaS) or hosting model where customers use their standard personal computers and Microsoft Internet Explorer and access to the Internet to utilize CKS software residing on HSS-owned and managed servers, and (ii) a software license model where the CKS software is purchased up front and is installed on customer-owned servers under customer’s control, In the future we expect to reduce the number of customers using the software license model.
These services have been designed to assist our customers in or by:
| · | Improving the quality of patient outcomes; |
| · | Standardizing processes; |
| · | Minimizing regulatory compliance risk; |
| · | Identify drug, food and herb interactions; and |
| · | Provide patient and caregiver scheduling and clinical data management. |
In 2005, there were approximately 8,000 Medicare certified home health agencies nationally that provided short-term (60 days or less) primarily skilled services (registered nurse, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, social counseling) to over 2.8 million patients. In addition, there were approximately 7,000 private duty home care companies delivering skilled and unskilled services to patients in the home paid by other reimbursement sources including Medicaid, commercial insurance and private citizens.
The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 included mandates to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to establish a Prospective Payment System (PPS) to reduce the cost of the home health benefit and to measure the effectiveness of the care delivered. The regulations are being implemented in phases over time and include a requirement that home health agencies collect assessment data on each patient at start-of-care, recertification and at discharge (OASIS Data). HSS services and software are responsive to these expanded PPS regulations.
We currently derive our revenues from per transaction charges applied to (a) processing patient clinical assessments made by our customers during a month, per clinical episode completed during care delivery, monthly hosting service charges based on the size of data storage utilized, one-time sales of software licenses, software maintenance on licensed software and consulting fees relating to education of customers on best practice processes that will contribute to their clinical, financial and operational success under PPS and Pay For Performance regulations. As of September 30, 2006, we had approximately 320 customers in 46 states using one or more of our services.
We believe that we achieve best results with larger, multi-site customers who tend to have more sophisticated management. The majority of our current HHA customers is expanding both organically and through acquisition. We believe that our results of operations are best enhanced by the addition of site(s) to a current customer than it is to bring on a single site new customer.
Our executive offices are located at 405 N. Reo Street, Suite 300, Tampa, Florida 33609 and our telephone number is 813-282-3303. Our website is located at www.HQSonline.com. Information on our website is not a part of this report.

Recent Events
On April 6, 2006, VHT Acquisition Company (“VHT”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Healthcare Quality Solutions, Inc., consummated an Asset Purchase Agreement with VantaHealth Technologies, LLC (“Vanta”) and the members of Vanta. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, VHT acquired substantially all of the assets of Vanta in consideration for $850,000 in cash, the assumption of certain liabilities of Vanta in the approximate amount of $70,000, and the issuance, to the members of Vanta, of an aggregate of 100,000 shares of our Common Stock. In connection with the issuance of our Common Stock, we entered into a Lock Up Agreement with the members of Vanta. Under the Lock Up Agreement, the members of Vanta are prohibited from transferring the shares of our Common Stock for a period of three years expiring on April 1, 2009.
On May 15, 2006, we executed and consummated a Stock Purchase Agreement with all of the shareholders of Carekeeper Software, Inc. (“Carekeeper”). Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Carekeeper Solutions, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary (“CKS”), acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Carekeeper. In consideration for the stock of Carekeeper:
| · | We will make available to CKS an operating line of credit in an amount of up to $1,500,000 to be used solely to pay CKS’ accounts payable, certain amounts due to the former shareholders of Carekeeper up to $143,000 and to pay operating expenses pursuant to an annual budget pre-approved by us. |
| · | We will pay an earn out payment based on a percentage of CKS’ operating revenues in 2006, 2007 and 2008. |
| · | We will make a contingent payment in the amount of up to 400,000 shares of our Common Stock based on CKS achieving certain milestones with respect to its operating revenues during 2006, 2007 and 2008. |
With respect to the earn out and contingent payments described above, the amounts of such payments will be based on the operating results of CKS for the period May 16, 2006 through December 31, 2006, the calendar year 2007 and the calendar year 2008. The earn out amount will be based on a percentage of the gross operating revenues generated by CKS from the sales of its products and services during these periods. With respect to the contingent payment of our shares of Common Stock described above, the former shareholders of Carekeeper will be entitled to receive up to a maximum of 400,000 shares in three installments over this period. The amount of each issuance of shares is based on CKS achieving certain pre-approved milestones with respect to its operating revenues during these periods.
In connection with the possible issuance of our Common Stock under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we entered into a Lock Up Agreement with each of the shareholders of Carekeeper. Under the Lock Up Agreement, the shareholders of Carekeeper are prohibited from transferring the shares of our Common Stock for a period of three years expiring on or about February 15, 2010.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The discussion in this Prospectus regarding our business and operations includes "forward-looking statements" which consist of any statement other than a recitation of historical fact and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "continue" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. The reader is cautioned that all forward-looking statements are speculative, and there are certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ from those referred to in such forward-looking statements.
RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision in us. This disclosure highlights all material risks regarding our business and this offering.
We may fail to realize the anticipated synergies, cost savings and other benefits expected from the VantaHealth Technologies, LLC and Carekeeper Software, Inc. acquisitions and this could cause the value of our company and our Common Stock to decline.
We must successfully integrate CareKeeper and Vanta, two companies that have previously operated independently, into a combined organization with HQS. HQS and VantaHealth entered into the acquisition agreement with the expectation that the acquisition would create opportunities to achieve market leverage from the product synergies and other benefits from operating the combined businesses of both companies. We entered into the acquisition agreement with Carekeeper in order to leverage the Carekeeper scheduling, billing and private pay processing capabilities. We made this decision knowing that the delivery of Carekeeper’s new software was months behind schedule and was struggling in its effort to add functionality that would enable its software to handle Medicare processing in addition to its other capabilities. Our results of operation and the value of our Common Stock may decline if we are unable to achieve the benefits expected to result from integration of these business.
Achieving the benefits of the acquisitions will depend in part upon meeting the challenges inherent in the successful integration of these two business enterprises and the possible resulting diversion of management attention for an extended period of time. We cannot assure that these challenges will be met or opportunities realized. Delays encountered in the integration process could cause lower than expected revenues and increased expenses.
We expect that changes to the pricing models for the products of the acquired companies will negatively effect the operating results of our new CKS and VHT divisions.
We are changing the pricing model for the products of CKS and VHT from an up front charge for the software license to a transaction pricing model. Management believes that this change may, for a period of two years, result in a decline in revenues from these divisions compared to the results that would have been attained under the historic licensing pricing model.
Certain Carekeeper customers have submitted notices of default to Carekeeper and may initiate legal action against Carekeeper and HSS.
During the due diligence of the Carekeeper business assets and operations, we determined that there were six Carekeeper customers that had submitted notices of default under their license agreements. We are currently attempting to negotiate appropriate settlements with these customers. Our success at negotiating settlements could be protracted and if not resolved by negotiation may result in arbitration. At September 30, 2006, it is unknown how long the negotiations may take, the legal fees to be incurred and the resulting financial impact on Carekeeper.
We may lose employees of the newly acquired businesses which would delay our product introductions, and cause us to lose revenues we planned on receiving.
Our success in the integration of Carekeeper and Vanta will depend in part upon our ability to retain key Carekeeper and Vanta employees. Competition for qualified technical personnel can be very intense. In addition, key employees may depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with HSS or HQS following the acquisitions. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to retain key employees to the same extent that Carekeeper or Vanta were able to in the past.
We have a history of losses and if these losses continue it will negatively impact the value of our company.
We have incurred significant net losses since our inception. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, we incurred net losses of $489,595. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we incurred net losses of $1,245,048. At September 30, 2006, we had an accumulated deficit of $14,663,631. Our continued operating losses have contributed to the deterioration of our cash position. We expect that cash on hand together with funds available to us under our Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with our principal shareholder will permit us to fund our operations for the next twelve months. Unexpected increases in negative cash flow from operations or the unavailability of funds under the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement would cause us to require additional external funding before that time. If we are unable to secure additional external financing on a timely basis, we will not have sufficient cash to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements and we will be forced to cease operations.
One of our customers accounts for approximately 37% of our business and the loss of this significant customer would materially decrease our revenues and could result in additional operating losses.
We had one customer, Amedisys, Inc., who accounted for approximately 37% of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 45% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005. The loss of this customer would materially decrease our revenues and could result in additional operating losses.
Amedisys has developed a proprietary Windows-based clinical software system to collect assessment data, schedule and log patient visits, generate medical orders and monitor treatments and outcomes in accordance with established medical standards. This product has similar functionality to our Advantage product that Amedisys is currently utilizing. Amedisys has notified us that they will be distributing hand held computers to their full time nursing staff which will eliminate the need for verification services on the assessments processed on the hand held computer, a service for which Amedisys currently utilizes us. Amedisys will continue to use the verification services for contract and part time staff that are not issued the hand held computers. Amedisys will also continue to use our state transmission product and CMS reporting. We anticipate that revenue generated by Amedisys will decrease by approximately 80% by the end of the third quarter of 2007. We will experience a partial offset in expense due to a decrease in verification staff. Amedisys expects to complete the roll out of their system by the end of the third quarter of 2007
We have a long sales cycle and may not be able to increase revenues as quickly as we must increase staffing to support additional activity. If we increase our staffing in anticipation of additional revenues that are delayed, we may incur losses which could result in you losing your investment in our company.
Though most home health care agencies use some form of management information system to enhance their financial and clinical performance, selling our web-based solutions requires us to educate potential customers on our solutions’ uses and benefits and to educate them on giving up on-site control of their computer servers. As a result, selling our services requires a long sales cycle, which can take up to eight months. Consequently, we face difficulty predicting the quarter in which revenues from expected customers may be realized. The sale of our services is also subject to delays from the lengthy budgeting, approval and competitive evaluation processes of our customers that typically accompany significant information technology commitments. If we increase our staffing in anticipation of additional revenues and those revenues are delayed, we may suffer losses.
Over the last two years the services delivered by us have become increasingly important to our customers. A loss or deterioration of our service availability could result in significant damage to our customers and may result in customers initiating legal proceedings against us.
HQS has installed its customer-facing computing and communications control equipment at a Qwest CyberCenter in Tampa, Florida. CKS has a similar installation at a Qwest facility in Sterling, Virginia. Notwithstanding the history of high availability associated with the Qwest CyberCenters it is possible that a catastrophic event could damage either of these sites rendering the HQS and CKS services unavailable for an extended period. Should this occur HQS, CKS and HSS could be subject to lawsuits by our customers which would be expensive and time-consuming to defend.
If we fail to properly manage our growth, we may lose customers and our revenues would decrease.
We expanded our computer operations infrastructure in anticipation of our current and potential customer growth potential. Additionally, we must continue to develop and expand our services and operations infrastructure as the number of individual users accessing our services increases. The pace of our anticipated expansion demands an unusual amount of focus on the transaction processing needs of our current and future customers for quality, on-line response time and reliability, as well as timely delivery of information and support. This development and expansion has placed, and we expect it to continue to place, strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources. Any failure on our part to develop and maintain our service levels could significantly adversely affect our reputation and brand name which could reduce demand for our services and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
Healthcare providers are highly regulated. If we fail to properly implement regulatory requirements in an effective and timely manner, we will lose customers, our reputation will be damaged and our revenues will decrease.
Ensuring our services are compliant with changes in Medicare Conditions of Participation (CoPs), provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and other regulatory requirements is challenging and expensive. However, if we do not maintain an appropriate level of regulatory compliance or we incorrectly implement a required regulatory change, we may experience negative publicity, the loss of customers, the slowing down of sales cycles which would decrease our revenues.
Technology changes rapidly. If we are unable to respond in an effective and timely manner to technological change, our products may become obsolete, we will lose customers, and our revenues would decrease, any or all of which would greatly reduce the value of our company.
The market for management information tools is characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product introductions and enhancements, uncertain product life cycles, changes in customer demands and evolving industry standards and government regulation. The introduction of products embodying new technologies, changes in applicable government regulation and the emergence of new industry standards can render existing products obsolete and unmarketable. Our future success will depend upon our ability to continue to enhance our current products while developing and introducing new products on a timely basis that keep pace with technological developments and government regulations and satisfy increasingly sophisticated customer requirements. If we experience material delays in introducing new products and enhancements, our prospects for growth will be impaired and our reputation with our customers may be damaged.
Competition in the healthcare information systems industry is intense and if we are unable to compete we will lose significant customers or be unable to attract customers and our revenues could decrease.
The market for healthcare information systems is intensely competitive, rapidly changing and undergoing consolidation. Our competitors in the field include: McKesson Corporation, Cerner Corporation, Mysis PLL, Patient Care Technology (PCTC), Siemens A G, Eclipsys Technologies Corporation and Keane, Inc., among others. Many of these competitors have substantially greater resources and more experience than us. We anticipate increased competition in the future as new companies enter the market in response to recent HIPAA regulations. If we are unable to compete we will lose significant customers or be unable to attract customers and our revenues could decrease.
If our customers lose confidence in the security of data on the Internet, they will be less inclined to purchase our products and our revenues could decrease.
Maintaining the security of computers and computer networks is an issue of critical importance for our customers. Our customers may be exposed to claims by federal healthcare regulators if they use our Internet based services and we do not protect sensitive patient data from penetration by hackers. In response, our customers may pursue claims against us which would be expensive and time-consuming to defend.
We have limited protection over our intellectual property rights. As a result, we may not be able to protect against misappropriation of our intellectual property, which could result in loss of revenues.
We rely upon a combination of service agreements, confidentiality procedures, employee and customer nondisclosure agreements and technical measures to maintain the confidentiality and trade secrecy of our proprietary information. We also rely on trademark and copyright laws to protect our intellectual property. We have not initiated a patent program. As a result, we may not be able to protect against misappropriation of our intellectual property.
Our future success is dependent on the services of our key management and personnel, whose knowledge of our business and technical expertise would be difficult to replace.
All of the members of key management and personnel are employees “at will” and can resign at any time. The loss of the services of one or more of these key employees could slow product development processes or sales and marketing efforts or otherwise harm our business. The market for these highly skilled employees is characterized by intense competition, which is heightened by their high level of mobility. These factors make it particularly difficult to attract and retain the qualified technical personnel required. We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled employees with appropriate technical qualifications. If we fail to recruit and retain a significant number of qualified technical personnel, we may not be able to develop, introduce or enhance products on a timely basis. Even if we are able to expand our staff of qualified technical personnel, they may require greater than expected compensation packages that would increase operating expenses. If we are unable to retain or hire qualified employees, our business will fail and you may lose your entire investment.
We depend upon software that we license from and products provided by third parties and the loss of these licenses or an increase in cost of these licenses would require us to suspend our operations until we obtain required software.
We rely upon certain software licensed from third parties. The loss of or inability to maintain any such software licenses could result in shipment delays or reductions until equivalent software could be developed, identified, licensed and integrated.
If we are subject to a claim that we infringe a third-party’s intellectual property, we may have to replace our current products, pay royalties to competitors or suspend operations, any of which could significantly increase our expenses.
Substantial litigation regarding intellectual property rights and brand names exists in the software industry. We expect that software product developers increasingly will be subject to infringement claims as the number of products and competitors in this industry segment grows and the functionality of products in related industry segments overlaps. However, third parties, some with far greater financial resources than ours, may claim infringement of their intellectual property rights by our products. Any such claims, with or without merit, could:
| · | Be time consuming to defend; |
| · | Result in costly litigation; |
| · | Divert management’s attention and resources; |
| · | Cause product shipment delays; |
| · | Require us to redesign products; |
| · | Require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements; or |
| · | Cause others to seek indemnity from us. |
A successful claim of product infringement against us, or failure or inability to either license the infringed or similar technology or develop alternative technology on a timely basis, could harm our operating results, financial condition or liquidity.
Our shares of Common Stock are thinly traded and you may find it difficult to dispose of your shares of our stock, which could cause you to lose all or a portion of your investment in our company.
Our shares of Common Stock are currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Trading in shares of our Common Stock has been limited and we expect to have only a limited trading market in the foreseeable future. As a result, you may find it difficult to dispose of shares of our Common Stock and you may suffer a loss of all or a substantial portion of your investment in our Common Stock.
Our Common Stock is covered by SEC “penny stock” rules which may make it more difficult for you to sell or dispose of our Common Stock, which could cause you to lose all or a portion of your investment in our company.
Our Common Stock is covered by an SEC rule that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors, which are generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities, and also may affect the ability of purchasers of our stock to sell their shares in the secondary market. It may also diminish the number of broker-dealers that may be willing to make a market in our Common Stock, and it may affect the level of news coverage we receive.
The interests of our controlling shareholders could conflict with those of our other shareholders resulting in the approval of corporate actions that are not in your interests.
Our principal shareholder, Stanford, owns or controls approximately 84% of our Common Stock. This shareholder is able to control the outcome of shareholder votes, including votes concerning amendments to our charter and by-laws and the approval of significant corporate transactions like a merger or sale of our assets. Although none of our directors or officers are affiliated with Stanford or have any relationships with Stanford, Stanford is able to control the election of the board of directors through its ownership of a majority of our Common Stock. In addition, Stanford has provided us with significant financing. This controlling influence could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control, even if our other shareholders believe it is in their best interest.
We may issue additional shares of preferred stock that could defer a change of control or dilute the interests of our common shareholders and our charter documents could defer a takeover effort, which could inhibit your ability to receive an acquisition premium for your shares or your ability to sell your shares of Common Stock.
Our articles of incorporation permit our Board of Directors to issue up to 15,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock without shareholder approval. Currently 3,050,000 shares of the Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding. Shares of Preferred Stock, if issued, could contain dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the rights of our common shareholders and which could also be utilized, under some circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing our change in control. Provisions of our articles of incorporation, bylaws and Nevada law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if many of our shareholders believe it is in their best interest. These provisions may decrease your ability to sell your shares of our Common Stock.

Penny Stock Rules
Our Common Stock is covered by an SEC rule that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors, which are generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities, and also may affect the ability of purchasers of our stock to sell their shares in the secondary market. It may also cause less broker- dealers to be willing to make a market in our Common Stock, and it may affect the level of news coverage we receive.
Dividend Policy
We have never paid cash dividends on our Common Stock. We presently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business and do not anticipate that any cash dividends on our Common Stock will be paid in the foreseeable future. The future dividend policy will depend on our earnings, capital requirements, expansion plans, financial condition and other relevant factors.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of our Common Stock by the selling shareholders.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains statements that are forward-looking. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “targets,” “goals,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” variations of such words, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual future results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Readers are referred to risks and uncertainties identified below and in the documents filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission, specifically the most recent reports on Forms 10-KSB, 10-QSB, and 8-K, each as it may be amended from time to time. We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.
Overview
Health Systems Solutions, Inc., through its two wholly owned subsidiaries, Healthcare Quality Solutions, Inc. (“HQS”) and Carekeeper Solutions, Inc. (“CKS”), designs, develops, markets, sells and supports both licensed and web-based, management information and business intelligence information technology systems and related services. These products are designed to assist home health care companies more effectively manage the clinical, operational and financial aspects of their business and compete effectively in the Prospective Payment System (PPS) and managed care environments. Our focus is to help home health care providers streamline their operations and better serve their patients. In this regard, we offer several comprehensive software solutions.
HQS delivers its services using the software as a service model (SaaS) where customers use their standard personal computers and Microsoft Internet Explorer and access to the Internet to utilize the Company’s software services that reside on HSS-owned servers. The HQS architecture and fee structure enables our customers to rapidly and cost-effectively implement our services for a modest transactional fee charged when a customer uses our programs to process patient clinical assessments and obtain management reports.
CKS delivers software using both: (a) a software license model where the CKS software is purchased up front and is installed on customer-owned servers under customer’s control, and (b) a software as a service model (SaaS) or hosting model where customers use their standard personal computers and Microsoft Internet Explorer and access to the Internet to utilize CKS software residing on HSS-owned and managed servers. In the future we expect to reduce the number of customers using the software license model.
These services have been designed to assist our customers in or by:
| | improving the quality of patient outcomes; |
| | standardizing processes; and |
| | minimizing regulatory compliance risk. |
The services provided by HQS and CKS address a broad range of the information technology functionality necessary for home care companies to operate their business whether they are reimbursed for services under the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) Conditions of Participation or under private duty or commercial insurance arrangements.
HQS software and services assist home health agencies on a daily basis to:
| | collect, edit and correct clinical data; |
| | manage regulatory compliance risk; identify drug, food and herb interactions; |
| | provide patient and caregiver scheduling and clinical data management; |
| | track caregiver activity using telephony; |
| | perform accounting and accounts receivable tasks. |
In addition, through our HQS services we are able to:
| | extract data from the databases of our competitor’s clinical and claims licensed software systems to provide in-depth financial and clinical analysis that identify a home care company’s strengths and weaknesses; |
| | monitor patient progress from start of care to discharge; and |
| | identify areas of potential improvement for care and tie outcomes to visit utilization. |
Through real-time, daily and other periodic reports we also assist in the management of regulatory compliance risk and measurement of the patient outcome.
We currently derive our revenues from per transaction charges applied to processing patient clinical assessments made by our customers during the month, per clinical episode completed during care delivery, monthly hosting service charges based on the size of data storage utilized, one-time sales of software licenses and software maintenance on licensed software As of September 30, 2006, we had approximately 320 customers in 46 states using one or more of our services.
In 2005, there were approximately 8,000 Medicare certified home health agencies nationally that provided short-term (60 days or less) primarily skilled services (registered nurse, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, social counseling) to over 2.8 million patients. In addition, there were approximately 7,000 private duty home care companies delivering skilled and unskilled services to patients in the home paid by other reimbursement sources including Medicaid, commercial insurance and private citizens.
The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 included mandates to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to establish a Prospective Payment System (PPS) to reduce the cost of the home health benefit and to measure the effectiveness of the care delivered. The regulations are being implemented in phases over time and include a requirement that home health agencies collect assessment data on each patient at start-of-care, recertification and at discharge (OASIS Data). HSS services and software are responsive to these expanded PPS regulations
We believe that we achieve best results with larger, multi-site customers who tend to have more sophisticated management. The majority of our current HHA customers is expanding both organically and through acquisition. We believe that our results of operations are best enhanced by the addition of site(s) to a current customer than it is to bring on a single site new customer.
Our executive offices are located at 405 N. Reo Street, Suite 300, Tampa, Florida 33609 and our telephone number is 813-282-3303. Our website is located at www.HQSonline.com. Information on our website is not a part of this report.

(“HQS”), VHT Acquisition Company (“VHT”), and Carekeeper Solutions, Inc (“CKS”).
Growth Strategy
We believe that the baby boomers entering their post-65 years will place unprecedented demands on the healthcare system of our country. Current public demand for accountability in balancing the quality and cost of healthcare will increase as healthcare costs for the baby boomers consume an increasing portion of the Gross Domestic Product. These demands will require that improved and standardized processes be implemented and managed at all points of patient contact. Identifying and eliminating duplication of clinical services, waste and paper in administrative systems will force the adoption of business process management techniques already implemented in other industries. Increased dependency on information technology will be the norm.
As the baby boomers entering the healthcare system begin to have a greater financial impact on the cost of healthcare, we believe that a number of things will happen that will affect our business:
| | There will be public and political pressure to rationalize and consolidate the myriad of post acute healthcare delivery venues currently protected under Medicare and Medicaid regulations; |
| | There will be consolidation within post acute verticals such as home care, nursing homes, rehabilitation facilities, hospices, etc. as well as consolidation or elimination of some of the types of providers; |
| | Consolidation of providers will be preceded by an evolving introduction of data standards that enable the exchange of patient data and measurement of performance; |
| | Ongoing changes will make obsolete proprietary, closed system designs and will require flexible, open source approaches; and |
| | There will be an increased need to devise automated patient plans of care to manage details of specific disease states that can be updated electronically. |
We believe that most providers of services in post acute care do not have the resources to invest in or manage the technology required to meet this new environment. We believe the opportunity exists to consolidate information technology vendors in the post acute arena in advance of the rationalization of the healthcare providers themselves.
It is our objective to extend our position as a leading provider of management solutions for home care and enter the market for solutions to other post acute care industries both by developing new systems and by acquiring existing companies that currently provide services to these venues and possess broad domain expertise. Acquired businesses will have already made the investment to migrate their solutions to the web in order to minimize the complex task of integrating disparate systems into the HSS network.
Key elements of this strategy include:
Leverage Our Existing Customer Base
We believe significant opportunities exist to leverage our existing customer base by selling more applications to customers that utilize less than the full suite of programs, as well as by expanding our suite of programs to provide our customers with enhanced functionality. We intend to continue to develop our current service offerings and to introduce new solutions that assist in the management of specific disease states and other complementary products. We may offer our services to other segments of post acute health care.
Offer Our Services to Other Segments of the Post Acute Industry
We believe that the interest in tools to assist in the management of patient care, performance improvement, risk and compliance and specific disease states and conditions will provide us with opportunities to further develop our platform to provide solutions to hospice, nursing homes, skilled nursing facilities and inpatient rehabilitation facilities.
Strategic Acquisitions Allowing Further Expansion of our Platform of Solutions and Customer Base
We want to increase our platform of solutions to the home health agencies we serve. Management believes there may be opportunities to expand our product offerings and/or customer base through strategic acquisitions. As a result, we continue to evaluate such opportunities.
Evaluation of Company Performance and Financial Condition
Since our administrative staffing levels and fixed expenses are relatively stable, the principle factor our management analyzes in evaluating our performance is changes in our principal sources of revenue. Management therefore focuses primarily on the volume of transactions per site added and the type of transactions processed to evaluate our performance. To a lesser extent, management evaluates the efficiency of our operation and our staffing levels by reviewing changes in our revenue per employee (which is determined by dividing revenue during a period by the weighted average headcount). To evaluate the effectiveness of our finance department and the strength of our financial position, management reviews our days of sales outstanding for each period.
Operational Risks and Challenges
Management believes that as we grow and expand our hosted on line services, we may be increasingly encroaching on the market of larger, more established vendors’ software offerings. It is likely that one or more of these more financially capable companies will develop a competing service.
We also bear the cost and risks associated with meeting regulatory compliance. For example, meeting the demands of HIPAA relating to protection of Private Health Information will require modifications to existing software and the development of new software to meet the HIPAA regulations. We also assist our customers that must comply with Sarbanes-Oxley in demonstrating proper internal control processes. These are both complex issues requiring measured responses. In addition, they both expose us to legal challenges.
Research and Development
In January 2006, in response to an announcement by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that a significant change would occur in Medicare rules relating to establishing Pay-For-Performance by late 2007 and to an initiative announced by President Bush to establish interchangeable medical record data, we initiated a R&D project to define requirements that will ensure our services to meet our customers’ needs under these anticipated new mandates and that our company maintains its competitive position in the market.
This project included engaging Magellan Business Partners to assist us in selecting an outsourcing development partner to design and develop a new database and application architecture. We selected the firm i-flex Solutions, Inc. as our partner and we began documenting requirements in February. i-flex Solutions, which is 60% owned by Oracle Corporation, is rated as one of the top 10 software development outsourcing companies in the world. i-Flex Solutions operates in over 110 countries with over 7,000 employees. The project will be developed in phases with the first delivery anticipated in December 2006. We expect this effort to continue into late 2007 and will cost in excess of $1,500,000.
The acquisition of CareKeeper Solutions included an on-going research and development project that CKS initiated in late 2002 that entailed redeveloping the CKS VividCare client server-based software system to a web-based system known as VividNet. VividNet is a large project having consumed over $4,100,000 since inception. The project is in the final stages of completion and is currently in use by approximately 35 CKS customers.
The acquisition of VantaHealth’s product, Analyzer, included a development project in partnership with Montefiore Home Health, a division of Montefiore Medical Center of New York City. This project provides initial effort to develop a predictive modeling technique that will enable Montefiore management to better negotiate authorizations for care with HMO’s. Phase 1 of the project is expected to commence beta testing in the fourth quarter of 2006.
HQS initiated internal development projects to produce new and enhanced products. The first such product, the HQS Medications Risk Manager, was introduced into beta test with one of our large customers in October 2005. General release is presently scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2006. This product will not add material revenue during 2006. We expect that one other new service, enabling the use of an electronic tablet device to collect patient data at the point of care, will be introduced into beta test in the fourth quarter of 2006. This product is not expected to add material revenue during 2006. Development of the underlying software will be produced with existing staff. Other internal research and development expenses associated with these products is not material and will increase slightly to cover costs related to short term software development contractors or consultants that will be used in the development cycle.
Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
We follow the provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104. We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product or service has been delivered, fees are fixed or determinable, collection is reasonably assured and all other significant obligations have been fulfilled.
Our corporate strategy is to provide our services on a recurring transaction pricing basis. We believe this is a value-based model that more directly relates to our customers’ recognition of revenue. The transaction pricing model differs from the typical licensed software model in that the implementation of transaction-priced services does not result in large up front software license fee revenues but results in a gradual recognition of revenue earned on a transaction by transaction basis over time. This is a similar model to that used by the mobile phone industry. The benefit occurs in the future years where leverage is obtained as a customer grows and continues to pay transaction fees year over year, whereas under the licensed sale model the only revenue realized in the future years is quarterly support and maintenance fees.
Our revenue is classified into two categories: recurring and non-recurring. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, approximately 86% of our total revenue was recurring and 14% was non-recurring.
We generate recurring revenue from several sources, including the processing of clinical assessments which, as mandated by Medicare, require home health care agencies to collect assessment data on all patients requiring home health care at the start-of-care and at discharge, the processing of data related to Medicare clinical episodes completed during care delivery, the provision of outsourcing services, such as software hosting and other business services, and the sale of maintenance and support for our proprietary software products. Recurring services revenue is typically billed and recognized monthly over the contract term, typically two to three years. Recurring software maintenance revenue is typically based on one-year renewable contracts. Software maintenance and support revenues are recognized ratably over the contract period. We record cash payments received in advance or at the beginning of a contract as deferred revenue.
We generate non-recurring revenue from the licensing of our software. Under SOP 97-2, software license revenue is recognized upon the execution of a license agreement, upon delivery of the software, when fees are fixed or determinable, when collectibility is probable and when all other significant obligations have been fulfilled. For software license agreements in which customer acceptance is a significant condition of earning the license fees, revenue is not recognized until acceptance occurs. For software license agreements that require significant customizations or modifications of the software, revenue is recognized as the customization services are performed. For multiple element arrangements, such as software license, consulting services, outsourcing services and maintenance, and where vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value exists for all undelivered elements, we account for the delivered elements in accordance with the “residual method.” Under the residual method, the total fair value of the undelivered elements, as indicated by VSOE, is deferred and subsequently recognized in accordance with the relevant sections of SOP 97-2. Also, the difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered elements is recognized as revenue related to the delivered elements. For arrangements in which VSOE does not exist for each undelivered element, including specified upgrades, revenue for the delivered element is deferred and not recognized until VSOE is available for the undelivered element or delivery of each element has occurred. When multiple products are sold within a discounted arrangement, a proportionate amount of the discount is applied to each product based on each product’s fair value or relative list price.
We also generate non-recurring revenue from implementation fees, consulting, training and customer support services and this non-recurring revenue is charged to customers on a fee basis usually based upon time spent. We recognize software licensing fees and implementation fees in the month that the customer goes live and we recognize training, consultation, advisory and support revenue in the month that the service is performed. Implementation costs consisting of payroll and travel are expensed in the same period implementation fees are recognized.
We currently recognize cancellations, allowances or discounts as they occur. This practice is based on factors that include, but are not limited to, historical cancellations and analysis of credit memo activities. Cancellations, allowances and discounts are not material.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on our assessment of the collectibility of customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a deterioration of a major customer’s credit worthiness or actual defaults are higher than our historical experience, our estimates of the recoverability of amounts due could be adversely affected. We regularly review the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts through identification of specific receivables where it is expected that payment will not be received. We also establish an unallocated reserve that is applied to all amounts that are not specifically identified. In determining specific receivables where collections may not be received, we review past due receivables and give consideration to prior collection history and changes in the customer’s overall business condition. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our best estimate as of the reporting dates. Changes may occur in the future, which may require us to reassess the collectibility of amounts and at which time we may need to provide additional allowances in excess of that currently provided.
Litigation Accruals
Pending unsettled lawsuits involve complex questions of fact and law and may require expenditure of significant funds. From time to time, we may enter into confidential discussions regarding the potential settlement of such lawsuits; however, there can be no assurance that any such discussions will occur or will result in a settlement. Moreover, the settlement of any pending litigation could require us to incur settlement payments and costs. In the period in which a new legal case arises, an expense will be accrued if our liability to the other party is probable and can be reasonably estimated. On a quarterly basis, we review and analyze the adequacy of our accruals for each individual case for all pending litigations. Adjustments are recorded as needed to ensure appropriate levels of reserve. Our attorney fees and other defense costs related to litigation are expensed as incurred.
Stock Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, we began recording compensation expense associated with stock-based awards and other forms of equity compensation in accordance with FASB Statement No. 123-R, Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”), as interpreted by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. We adopted the modified prospective transition method provided under SFAS 123R, and consequently has not retroactively adjusted results from prior periods. Under this transition method, compensation cost associated with stock-based awards recognized in the third quarter of 2006 includes (a) quarterly amortization related to the remaining unvested portion of stock-based awards granted prior to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of FASB No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”); and (b) quarterly amortization related to stock-based awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for stock-based awards using the “disclosure only” alternative described in SFAS 123 and FASB Statement No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.
Software Development Costs
We capitalize certain costs of software developed or obtained for internal use in accordance with AICPA SOP 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Corporate Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use (“SOP 98-1”). We capitalize software development costs when application development begins, it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used as intended. Costs associated with preliminary project stage activities, training, maintenance and all other post implementation stage activities are expensed as incurred. Our policy provides for the capitalization of certain payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with developing or obtaining internal use software. Capitalizable personnel costs are limited to the time directly spent on such projects. Capitalized costs are ratably amortized using the straight-line method, over the estimated useful lives of the related applications of three years. We make on-going evaluations of the recoverability of our capitalized software by comparing the amount capitalized for each product to the estimated net realizable value of the product. If such evaluations indicate that the unamortized software development costs exceed the net realizable value, we write off the amount that the unamortized software development costs exceed net realizable value.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005
Net sales increased $1,922,114 or 63% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $4,953,118 compared to $3,031,004 during the same period in 2005. This increase resulted primarily from:
| · | $314,316 of revenue from VHT; |
| · | $664,837 of revenue from CKS; |
| · | $625,632 in revenue from patients clinical assessments, resulting primarily from price increases and increases in assessment transaction volume from existing and new customers. |
Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $2,699,172 or 54% of revenues as compared to $1,380,097 or 46% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Of the increase in the cost of sales, $947,759 or 72% was attributed to the VHT and CKS acquisitions. As part of our cost of sales, we include the employee costs incurred from our customer service department, our data verification department, our implementation department and our training and education department. Other costs include travel for our customer service people, professional fees, accreditation fees, teleconferencing, rent, assessment forms, depreciation expense for our internally developed software, hosted data center expense and shipping. The increase in the cost of sales can be attributed to the following increases:
· | Salaries and related expenses increased $622,029, of which $415,965 was from increased staffing needed to service new customers from the existing product lines, and $206,064 was increased staffing from the VHT and CKS acquisitions; |
· | An increase in professional services of $171,108, of which $35,916 was for contract employees handling training and implementation at CKS and VHT the remaining $137,037 was due to contracted employees that were required to handle the training and implementation of several large new customers for HQS; |
· | An increase in depreciation of $256,531 due to the amortization of internally developed software for CKS and VHT; |
· | An increase of $152,130 in communications due to the addition of internet and hosting services used by CKS and VHT products; and |
· | There was an increase of $74,065 in occupancy costs. The occupancy expenses were applied to cost of sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, whereas this amount was applied fully to general and administrative expenses during 2005. |
Without the additional cost of these acquisitions, cost of sales would be significantly less and represent a lesser percentage of revenues. However, in light of our strategy to grow through the acquisition of existing companies, management believes that costs of sales will continue to increase and represent a significant percentage of revenues.
Total operating expense was $3,498,994 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $2,086,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an increase in operating expenses of $1,412,494 or 68%. Operating expenses were comprised of selling and marketing expenses, research and development and general and administration.
Selling and marketing expense totaled $1,154,985 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $527,554 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, resulting in an increase in selling and marketing expense of $627,431 or 119%. We include in our selling and marketing expense the employee costs incurred from our marketing, sales, sales administration and sales support employees. Other costs included are the travel for our sales people, trade shows, advertising, collateral materials, occupancy, telephone, teleconferencing, and office expense. The reasons for the increase in selling and marketing expense is attributed to:
· | The additional costs for VHT and CKS acquisitions was $239,155; |
· | An increase of $314,699 in professional services related to the management of our marketing and sales department and development of collateral materials and corporate web sites for the HQS product lines; |
· | Salaries and benefits increased by $96,390, this was due to an increase of $192,732 from the acquisitions of VHT and CKS, and was offset by a decrease in salary expense of $96,346 within the HQS product lines as salary expense was shifted to outside consulting. |
· | An increase of $71,171 in travel expense for employees and contracted employees related to the management of our marketing and sales departments, of which 59,680 was for the HQS product lines; |
· | A $84,221 increase in marketing and promotional expense due to increased attendance at regional trade shows and the development of collateral materials and corporate web sites, the majority of which, $65,707, was for the HQS product lines; and |
· | An increase of $43,090 in commissions due to increased new sales. |
Research and development expense was $821,524 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $476,218 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, resulting in an increase of $345,306 or 73%. Included in our research and development cost is the employee costs for our software developers and our data center and internal systems staff, professional fees for outside consultants and contractors, occupancy, communications and supplies. Increases in selling and marketing expenses attributed to the additional costs from the VHT and CKS acquisitions were $230,482. Increases in research and development are due to:
· | An increase in salaries and benefits of $188,243, which consisted of an increase of $208,590 from the acquisitions of VHT and CKS, which was offset by a $20,348 decrease in the HQS product line; |
· | An increase of $82,953 in professional services for outside contractors to manage the integration of our products, of which $65,769 was from the HQS product line and $17,128 was from the VHT and CKS product lines; |
· | An increase of $37,462 in occupancy, due to expenses being allocated to departments during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, whereas this amount was applied fully to general and administrative expenses during 2005; |
· | An increase of $25,276 in travel, primarily due to increased travel associated with the consultants hired for the HQS product line; |
· | An increase of $4,117 in other expense; and |
· | An increase of $7,098 and $6,056 in communications and other expenses, respectively. |
We anticipate that the expenses for outside contractors will continue to increase over the next eight months as we re-engineer major aspects of our services infrastructure in preparation for the P4P regulations.
General and administration expense was $1,391,659 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and $882,259 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, representing an increase of $509,400 or 58%. The principal reason for the increase in general and administration expense is attributed to the VHT and CKS acquisitions which accounted for $448,143 of the increase. The remaining increase is attributable to HSS and HQS. The increases included:
· | Salaries expenses increased by $278,712, of which $193,664 was attributable to the VHT and CKS acquisitions, and within HSS and HQS, salaries and benefits increased by $85,047 due to the increase in the finance and human resources department. |
· | Total other expenses increased by $176,711, which consisted of a $116,426 increase from the acquisition of CKS and VHT, and a $60,285 increase attributable to HSS and HQS. The increase to other expense was primarily due to an increase in the bad debt allowance. |
· | Outside services increased by $50,069, which consisted of a $36,348 increase from the acquisition of CKS and VHT, and a $13,720 increase attributable to HSS and HQS. |
· | Occupancy costs for general and administration decreased by $37,025. This decrease is a combination of HQS shifting $97,049 of expense from general and administrative to cost of sales, selling and marketing, and research and development, and a $60,023 increase from the acquisition of CKS and VHT. |
· | Travel expense increased by $33,296, which consisted of a $17,574 increase from the acquisition of CKS and VHT, and a $15,723 increase in the pre-existing accounts. |
· | Communications expenses increased by $6,814. |
Management believes that general and administration expense will continue to increase as we continue to pursue our strategy of growth through strategic acquisitions.
Depreciation expense was $104,424 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and $130,096 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, resulting in a decrease of $25,672 or 20%. The principal reason for the decrease in depreciation expense is due to the fixed assets that were acquired at the inception of the business in October of 2002 being fully depreciated.
Interest expense was $26,402 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and $70,373 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, representing a decrease of $43,971 or 62%. The principal reason for this decrease was the payoff of the loan and security agreement in November 2005.
Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2004
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $4,212,819 and for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $3,637,626, an increase of $575,193 or 16%. This increase resulted primarily from price increases and an increase in assessment transaction volume from existing customers.
The largest contributor to our revenue growth during the period was the increase in our transaction based revenue. Our average charge per transaction increased 5% to $5.52 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, from $5.24 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, and the number of transactions processed increased 16% to 709,987 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 from 610,034 during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2004. Revenues for these transactions increased 23% from the same period last year to $3,920,689 from $3,198,730. This $721,958 increase in our transaction revenue is comprised of a 73% increase attributed to increased volume and 27% of the increase is attributed to price increases. The price increase is primarily due to the loss of small customers that discontinued services due to price increases and the addition of new customers at a higher rate per transaction. The number of transaction based customers decreased 17% to 67 customers at December 31, 2005 compared to 81 customers at December 31, 2004. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the number of transaction based sites increased 29% to 459 from 356 at December 31, 2004 and the number of subscription based sites decreased 29% to 12 from 17 at December 31, 2004.
Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004, respectively, were $1,941,735 and $1,727,205, or 46% and 47% of revenues. We include as part of our cost of sales the employee costs incurred from our customer service department, data verification department, implementation department and our clinical educators. Other costs include travel for our customer service personnel, professional fees, accreditation fees, teleconferencing, assessment forms shipping, depreciation expense for our internally developed software and hosted data center expense. The $214,530, or 12%, increase in the cost of sales is principally attributed to an increased staffing in our customer service and training and education departments to support the increased customer volume resulting in an increase of $211,421 in salaries and related expenses, increase in travel expense of $17,065 due to increased travel to customer sites for training and education, and an increase of $16,461 in communication expense due primarily to increased tele-conferencing expense resulting from increased customer training, These increases are partially offset by a decrease of $26,998 in professional services resulting primarily from the decrease in use of temporary staffing.
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004, totaled $2,760,679 and $3,005,950, respectively, resulting in a decrease in operating expenses of $245,271, or 8%. Operating expenses were comprised of selling and marketing, research and development, general and administration, depreciation and amortization and interest.
Selling and marketing expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004 was $660,037 and $966,870, respectively, resulting in a decrease in selling and marketing expense of $306,833 or 32%. We included in our selling and marketing expense the employee costs incurred from our marketing, sales, sales administration and sales support employees. Other costs included are the travel for our sales personnel, trade shows, advertising, telephone, teleconferencing, and office expense. The principal reason for the decrease was the decrease in salaries and benefits of $233,444 due to the decrease in the sales and marketing staff, commissions decreased $22,159 due to decreased new sales and the decrease in the number of sales people, marketing and promotion decreased $32,725 due primarily to a decrease in advertising expense, travel decreased $12,836 due to the decrease in staffing and a $5,694 decrease in professional fees primarily due to a decrease in recruiting fees paid in 2005.
Research and development expense was $629,473 for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004 was $576,194, resulting in an increase in research and development expense of $53,279 or 9%. Included in our research and development cost is the employee costs for our software developers and our data center and internal systems staff, professional fees for outside consultants and contractors, and supplies. The principal reason for the increase was an increase in salaries and benefits of $27,277 due to the increase in our development staff and an increase of $11,225 in professional fees for contract labor for developers.
General and administration expense was $1,221,470 for the year ended December 31, 2005 and $1,269,242 for the year ended December 31, 2004, a decrease of $47,772, or 4%. Included in our general and administration expense are salaries and related expenses for our executive officers and administrative employees. Also included in general and administration are corporate costs such as but legal and accounting, utilities, rent, office supplies and office equipment.
Depreciation expense was $167,713 for the year ended December 31, 2005 and $144,533 the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $23,180 or 16%. The principal reason for the increase in depreciation expense of $23,180 is the acquisition of computer equipment to support our growth and to keep our systems updated.
Interest expense was $81,986 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and $49,111 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $32,875. The principal reason for the increase in interest expense is due to the additional $200,000 in loan and security agreement proceeds received during 2005 under the loan and security agreement.
Other non-operating expense was $0 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 compared to $29,139 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. The $29,139 represents an additional amount of tax due to the IRS on the outstanding tax liability we had assumed from a predecessor company.
The weighted average head count for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2005 was 50 and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 it was 45, resulting in an increase in the average headcount of five or 11%. The increase in staffing is principally attributed to the increased staffing in our verification department. Revenue per employee for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 was $84,256 compared to $80,836 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 resulting in an increase of $3,420 per employee or 4%. The increase was due to the increase in transaction assessment volume of 99,953, or 16%, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. These additional 99,953 assessments were handled with an 11% increase in the weighted average head count. The average price per transaction assessment increased to $5.52 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 compared to $5.24 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. This increase in price per transaction assessment, the increased transaction volume and our fixed administrative staffing levels, and our 11% increase in the weighted average head count has increased our profit margin per assessment. Management believes that the increase in revenue per employee from prior periods indicates that operations continue to have positive growth. We anticipate revenue per assessment will continue to increase as our revenue from current products increase since we have the capacity to process additional assessments with only a minimal increase in customer service staffing over the next twelve months. Our goal for revenue per employee is $100,000 of revenue annually per employee.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2006, we had incurred an accumulated deficit of $14,663,631 compared to $13,012,275 at December 31, 2005. At September 30, 2006, we had a working capital deficit of $232,069, compared to working capital of $619,775 at December 31, 2005. We had incurred net operating losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005 of $1,245,048 and $489,595, respectively.
On November 8, 2005, we entered into a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with our principal shareholder, Stanford International Bank Ltd. We agreed to issue to Stanford our Series C Preferred Stock at a price of $2.00 per share together with warrants to purchase 3/10 of a share of Common Stock for each share of Series C Preferred Stock purchased. The Warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.002 per share. On November 8, 2005, we refinanced the outstanding amount of $1,250,000 under the loan and security agreement and have drawn down an additional $3,900,000 of working capital through September 30, 2006. Among other things, the proceeds were used to finance the acquisitions of Vanta and Carekeeper. We have $500,000 of additional availability under the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, which can be drawn down on two weeks’ notice. An additional $3,600,000 is available to complete acquisitions or additional working capital uses that may be approved by Stanford in its sole discretion.
We believe that the $500,000 available to us with two weeks notice under the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement and an additional $1,450,000 from the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement for working capital, together with funds generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs over the next twelve months. We anticipate that working capital requirements will decrease from the current level over the next twelve months as we begin to consolidate business processes such as customer support, sales and marketing and implementation services, eliminate duplicate processes or systems, evaluate current products for duplication of services between companies and complete the improvements to our infrastructure. We currently anticipate proceeds from the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement will be sufficient to meet presently anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements through September 30, 2007. For the design and development of a new database structure and application architecture project discussed in the Research and Development section of this report we anticipate spending on external resources approximately $175,000 in the fourth quarter of 2006 and an additional $100,000 for each quarter of 2007.
As of September 30, 2006, we had cash totaling $314,947. Significant cash flow activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are as follows:
Cash used in operating activities was $1,747,181 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, whereas such activities used $76,185 during the same period of 2005. Cash used by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, is primarily attributable to a net loss of $1,245,048, a net increase in accounts receivable of $354,318, an increase in prepaid expenses of $99,357, and an increase in royalties receivable of $6,965, a decrease in accounts payable of $326,613, a decrease in the reserve for customer refunds of $287,218, a decrease in deferred revenues of $249,818 and a decrease in customer deposits of $5,153. These were partially offset by an increase in accrued expenses of $14,487 as well as non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization of $787,208 and an increase in stock based compensation of $25,614.
Cash used in investing activities was $1,739,010 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, where such activities used $227,099 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Cash used in investing activities in 2006 is attributable to purchases of Vanta Health Technologies of $1,034,493 and CareKeeper Software of $25,003, and increases in property and equipment of $101,059 and capitalized software development costs of $604,395. These were partially offset by the acquisition of cash from CareKeeper Software of $26,420.
Cash from financing activities was $3,462,208 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, whereas such activities provided $189,991 during the same period of 2005. The increase in cash provided by financing activities in 2006 is attributed to $3,700,000 in proceeds from the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement and the issuance of $35,720 of Common Stock. It is offset by the repayment of $12,424 of capital lease obligations and the repayment of $261,088 of loans payable.
Accounts receivable at September 30, 2006, was $1,230,774 as compared to $686,164 at December 31, 2005, an increase of approximately 79%. Days of sales outstanding were 71 days for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared with 42 days for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in accounts receivable is due to the acquisition of $312,852 of accounts receivable from Vanta and Carekeeper and an increase of $231,758 in HQS customers. At September 30, 2006, Amedisys accounted for 49% of the accounts receivable. As disclosed under “Risk Factors,” the loss of Amedisys would materially decrease our revenues.
Software development cost, net of accumulated amortization, was $3,741,259 at September 30, 2006 compared to $218,310 at December 31, 2005. The accumulated amortization at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was $2,273,614 and $1,590,830, respectively. The increase in software development is primarily attributable to the VantaHealth and Carekeeper acquisitions.
Other assets at September 30, 2006 were $592,256 compared to $333,924 at December 31, 2005. These amounts consisted of property and equipment, net of depreciation, of $284,061 and $228,956, prepaid expenses and current assets of $213,534 and $81,484, security deposits of $23,484 and $23,484, and long term receivable from shareholder of $71,177 and $0, at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were $558,152 and $249,859, respectively.
BUSINESS
Overview
Health Systems Solutions, Inc., through its two wholly owned subsidiaries, Healthcare Quality Solutions, Inc. (“HQS”) and Carekeeper Solutions, Inc. (“CKS”), designs, develops, markets, sells and supports both licensed and web-based, management information and business intelligence information technology systems and related services. These products are designed to assist home health care companies more effectively manage the clinical, operational and financial aspects of their business and compete effectively in the Prospective Payment System (PPS) and managed care environments. Our focus is to help home health care providers streamline their operations and better serve their patients. In this regard, we offer several comprehensive software solutions.
HQS delivers its services using the software as a service model (SaaS) where customers use their standard personal computers and Microsoft Internet Explorer and access to the Internet to utilize the Company’s software services that reside on HSS-owned servers. The HQS architecture and fee structure enables our customers to rapidly and cost-effectively implement our services for a modest transactional fee charged when a customer uses our programs to process patient clinical assessments and obtain management reports.
CKS delivers software using both: (a) a software license model where the CKS software is purchased up front and is installed on customer-owned servers under customer’s control, and (b) a SaaS or hosting model where customers use their standard personal computers and Microsoft Internet Explorer and access to the Internet to utilize CKS software residing on HSS-owned and managed servers. In the future we expect to reduce the number of customers using the software license model.
These services have been designed to assist our customers in or by:
· | Improving the quality of patient outcomes; |
· | Standardizing processes; |
· | Minimizing regulatory compliance risk; |
· | Identifying drug, food and herb interactions; and |
· | Providing patient and caregiver scheduling and clinical data management. |
The services provided by HQS and CKS address a broad range of the information technology functionality necessary for home care companies to operate their business whether they are reimbursed for services under the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) Conditions of Participation or under private duty or commercial insurance arrangements.
HQS software and services assist home health agencies on a daily basis to:
· | collect, edit and correct clinical data; |
· | manage regulatory compliance risk; |
· | identify drug, food and herb interactions; |
· | provide patient and caregiver scheduling and clinical data management; |
· | track caregiver activity using telephony; |
· | perform accounting and accounts receivable tasks. |
In addition, through an HQS service unique in the industry, we are able to:
· | extract data from the databases of our competitor’s clinical and claims licensed software systems to provide in-depth financial and clinical analysis that identify a home care company’s strengths and weaknesses; |
· | monitor patient progress from start of care to discharge; and |
· | identify areas of potential improvement for care and tie outcomes to visit utilization. |
Through real-time, daily and other periodic reports we also assist in the management of regulatory compliance risk and measurement of the patient outcome.
History of Our Business
The ultimate predecessor of our business was a corporation known as Provider Solutions Corp. (“PSC”) that was formed to develop the technology that we employ in our business. PSC was a Florida corporation organized in 1992. PSC raised an aggregate of approximately $7 million on a secured basis. On July 2, 2002, PSC filed an assignment for the benefit of creditors under Florida law. Stanford, one of PSC’s secured creditors, formed Provider Acquisition LLC (“PAL”) in order to make an offer to the Assignee to purchase all of the assets of PSC. In accordance with an Asset Purchase Agreement dated September 17, 2002, PAL purchased all of the assets of PSC for a sum of $225,000, subject to secured indebtedness of approximately $7 million and assumed an obligation to pay the trust fund portion of PSC’s obligations to the Internal Revenue Service in the approximate amount of $400,000. Following PAL’s acquisition of the assets of PSC, Stanford and the other holders of PSC’s secured indebtedness converted all of the indebtedness into equity of PAL.
On October 22, 2002, PAL consummated an agreement and plan of merger with Silver Key Mining Company, Inc. and its newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary, Healthcare Quality Solutions, Inc., a Florida corporation ("HQS"), whereby the business that PAL had acquired from PSC was transferred to HQS and the equity ownership interests in PAL were exchanged for the majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of Silver Key Mining Company. On October 23, 2002, the effective time of the merger, the 100% equity interests of PAL were exchanged for an aggregate of 1,071,429 shares of our Common Stock. Stanford received 957,921 shares of our Common Stock issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement. An additional 237,399 shares were issued in connection with the merger to a third party in consideration of facilitating the merger. Prior to the merger, none of the holders of equity interests in PAL, including Stanford, owned any shares of Common Stock or had any other interest in our company.
On April 6, 2006, our HQS subsidiary acquired the assets of VantaHealth Technologies, LLC, a Pennsylvania corporation, for $850,000 in cash, the assumption of certain liabilities of Vanta in the approximate amount of $70,000, and the issuance, to the members of Vanta, of an aggregate of 100,000 shares of our Common Stock. In connection with the issuance of our Common Stock, we entered into a Lock Up Agreement with the members of Vanta. Under the Lock Up Agreement, the members of Vanta are prohibited from transferring the shares of our Common Stock for a period of three years expiring on April 1, 2009.
In connection with the acquisition of the assets of Vanta, VHT entered into a Transition Services Agreement with ZAC Capital Partners, LLC (“ZAC”). ZAC is a member of Vanta. Under the Transition Services Agreement, ZAC agreed to provide to VHT certain transition services for a period of 150 days after the closing, including transition assistance with respect to existing clients, assistance with access to books and records, introduction to Vanta’s existing sales leads, assistance in connection with the collection of existing accounts receivable, and other services that VHT may reasonably request.
On May 15, 2006, we executed and consummated a Stock Purchase Agreement with all of the shareholders of Carekeeper Software, Inc. (“Carekeeper”). Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Carekeeper Solutions, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Carekeeper. In consideration for the stock of Carekeeper:
| · | We will make available to CKS an operating line of credit in an amount of up to $1,500,000 to be made available at such times and in such amounts as we shall pre-approve and will be used solely to pay CKS’ accounts payable, certain amounts due to the former shareholders of Carekeeper up to $143,000 and to pay operating expenses pursuant to an annual budget pre-approved by us; |
| · | We will pay an earn out payment based on a percentage of CKS’ operating revenues in 2006, 2007 and 2008; and |
| · | We will make a contingent payment in the amount of up to 400,000 shares of our Common Stock based on CKS achieving certain milestones with respect to its operating revenues during 2006, 2007 and 2008. |
With respect to the earn out and contingent payments described above, the amounts of such payments will be based on the operating results of CKS for the period May 16, 2006 through December 31, 2006, the calendar year 2007 and the calendar year 2008. The earn out amount will be based on a percentage of the gross operating revenues generated by CKS from the sales of its products and services during these periods. With respect to the contingent payment of our shares of Common Stock described above, the former shareholders of Carekeeper will be entitled to receive up to a maximum of 400,000 shares in three installments over this period. The amount of each issuance of shares is based on CKS achieving certain pre-approved milestones with respect to its operating revenues during these periods.
In connection with the possible issuance of our Common Stock under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, we entered into a Lock Up Agreement with each of the shareholders of Carekeeper. Under the Lock Up Agreement, the shareholders of Carekeeper are prohibited from transferring the shares of our Common Stock for a period of three years expiring on or about February 15, 2010.
In connection with this transaction, CKS entered into employment agreements with Jake C. Levy and Dorothy A. Levy. Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Levy will serve as the chief executive officer of CKS. The employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of $156,000 and has an initial term of three years. The employment agreement also provides for annual bonuses as determined by our Board of Directors and options to purchase 15,000 shares of our Common Stock.
Pursuant to her employment agreement, Ms. Levy will serve as the director of quality assurance of CKS. The employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of $105,000 and has an initial term of three years. The employment agreement also provides for annual bonuses as determined by our Board of Directors and options to purchase 7,500 shares of our Common Stock.
Industry Background
The health care system is the largest industry in the United States The following statements regarding national health care spending are excerpts from a Statement by Dr. Henry E. Simmons National Coalition on Health Care, April 19, 2006 at the Third Annual World Health Care Congress Sponsored by The Wall Street Journal:
· | In 2004, health care spending in the United States reached $1.9 trillion, and was projected to reach $2.9 trillion in 2009. |
· | Health care spending is 4.3 times the amount spent on national defense. |
· | In 2004, the United States spent 16% of its gross domestic product (GDP) on health care. It is projected that the percentage will reach 20% in the next decade. |
· | Although nearly 46 million Americans are uninsured, the United States spends more on health care than other industrialized nations, and those countries provide health insurance to all their citizens. |
· | Health care spending accounted for 10.9% of the GDP in Switzerland, 10.7% in Germany, 9.7% in Canada and 9.5% in France, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. |
The system includes a broad array of private and public purchasers, insurers, providers, manufacturers, and suppliers. The United States invests more per capita than any other nation for the delivery of health care, yet it falls short of consistently providing quality care. There are wide variations in the type of care delivered, and studies have shown that many patients do not receive recommended care. This unfortunate condition is true across medical conditions and irrespective of whether the care is preventive, acute, or chronic.
The Institute of Medicine issued a stern warning in 2001 in its ground-breaking publication, Crossing the Quality Chasm. The report urged change at all levels of the health delivery system, with particular emphasis on redesigning the system to improve quality. In particular, the publication recommended creating and aligning incentives for quality and making quality information available to enhance quality improvement, accountability, and consumer choice.
Our mission is to assist the post acute segment of the U.S. healthcare system in addressing these issues. For purposes of describing its business, HSS has segmented the healthcare industry into physician practices, acute care (hospital) facilities, pharmaceutical and supplies companies and post acute care. Post acute healthcare providers include home health agencies, inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation facilities, skilled nursing facilities, nursing homes, hospice, long term acute care hospitals, assisted living facilities, continuing care retirement communities, infusion therapy, medical/social adult day care, respite care, home medical equipment (HME), personal care, comprehensive outpatient rehab facilities (CORF), enriched housing,
HSS business is currently directed to the home health segment of the post acute industry. It is our intention to expand our information technology service businesses into other areas of post acute including hospice and nursing home facilities.
Home health is a rapidly growing component of healthcare. Factors that we believe have contributed and will contribute to the development of home health services for our business operations primarily include:
| · | Recognition that home health services can be a cost-effective alternative to more expensive institutional care; |
| · | Changing family structures in which more aging people will be living alone and may be in need of assistance; |
| · | Increasing consumer and physician awareness and interest in home health services; |
| · | The psychological benefits of recuperating from an illness or accident or receiving care for a chronic condition in one’s own home; and |
| · | Medical and technological advances that allow more health care procedures and monitoring to be provided at home. |
In March 2006, MedPAC, the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, reported to Congress about the growth and profitability of post acute care including the home health industry. As of October 2005, there were more than 8,000 Medicare certified agencies providing skilled nursing, therapy, home health aide, or medical social worker services to beneficiaries in their homes. These companies range from facility-based agencies that are publicly traded or privately held companies and visiting nurse associations which range in size from 100 episodes a year to over 5,000 episodes in one agency. According to CMS, post-acute expenditures were over $36 billion in 2004 which accounts for 12% of Medicare spending. The number of certified home health agencies has grown 10% in the last year alone and growth is expected to continue. Home care is now one third of all post-acute spending. MedPAC studies show that home care is a more favorable setting for post-acute care proven by cost analysis and higher clinical outcomes. More examination of profitability and efficiency of home care versus other post-acute models continue to be a top priority for the government. To read more about the post-acute studies and the future of home care see the entire March 2006 MedPAC report to Congress at http://www.medpac.gov.
We expect the consolidation of the industry which accelerated after the passage of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, to continue. We believe that in the process of consolidation, home care management will require solutions that help them streamline their operations, standardize the delivery of care, maximize the reimbursement under the regulations, improve the quality of care delivered, and minimize the compliance risk. By providing outsourced services, we help reduce the information technology burdens of our customers, enabling them to focus on their core businesses and react quickly to dynamic market conditions.
In October 2000, the federal government introduced the Medicare Home Health Prospective Payment System (“PPS”). These rules require the collection and reporting of vast amounts of patient data that must be extracted, edited, corrected, formatted, exported and reported on rigorous schedules. The importance of ensuring the data is accurate and timely cannot be overstated, as the very success of a home care company participating in Medicare is dependent on meeting these requirements. Under these rules, home health agencies are mandated to prove that the care delivered improves the patient’s functional ability. The mandates introduce reimbursement levels calculated in advance based upon the assessed need of the patient. An error in collecting the data on the initial patient assessment can cost thousands of dollars in missed reimbursement. An error in collecting the data on the final assessment can bring on the rejection of an entire claim, or worse, an audit survey by a government agency that results in fraud and abuse charges.
The data must be collected using a standardized tool called the Outcome and Assessment Information Set (“OASIS”) to collect 109 data elements that must be reported to government agencies on rigorous schedules and must meet an extensive editing process. (There are over 400 mandated OASIS edits). It is critical for the home health business that the data is accurate and valid as the data is used to determine the level of reimbursement received for the care provided and is used by the government to measure, and publicly report on, the quality of care delivered.
Methods for capturing data include filling out paper forms then key entering the required data into a workstation or personal computer using free, government-supplied software, or directly into information management systems supplied by another party. The data is subsequently transmitted to the government. Government computers edit the answers highlighting errors. The HHA must dial into the government site to retrieve its reports, then in an off-line procedure correct the errors and resubmit the data. Either approach has minimal data validation capabilities, particularly as it relates to determining any clinical anomalies that might exist in the data.
In addition, the nature of home health care is such that the field nurse and the data entry staff, nursing supervisor, quality assurance staff, clinical manager and operations management are typically remote from one another, making collaboration over identified issues difficult if not impossible to resolve. The result is increasing overnight courier, fax and telephone costs combined with rejected claims, extended accounts receivable days outstanding and inconsistent care delivery. The clinical staff struggles to meet the government deadlines and regulations while the financial management pushes for faster turnaround to improve cash flow. Multiple sites compound the management problems.
Among responses to these and other issues, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the California HealthCare Foundation funded the California-base Integrated Healthcare Association's (IHA) Pay for Performance (PFP) program. This is the largest pay for performance project in the U.S. The project provides medical groups with incentive payments based upon performance against quality benchmarks. Seven large California health plans participate: Aetna, Blue Cross, Blue Shield, CIGNA, Health Net, PacifiCare, and Western Health Advantage. The program uses evidence-based measures to assess the performance of over 35,000 physicians in 225 medical groups caring for more than 6.2 million commercial HMO enrollees. The program's data is collected and analyzed by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), a Washington non-profit dedicated to improving health care quality.
In addition to IHA's Pay for Performance Program, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has launched several demonstration projects and recently announced that it intends to incorporate Pay for Performance in its Medicare program. Proposals to include Pay for Performance in Medicare are currently being considered in U.S. congressional and senate hearings.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has announced it plans to introduce pay for performance in the home health industry in 2007 or 2008. HSS existing services can assist home health companies prepare for PFP.

HSS offers a comprehensive set of product and service solutions to address the changing needs of home health providers and caregivers through information technology services and software systems, training, deployment resources, consulting and customer support. HSS services and systems are designed to enable home health care providers to produce and utilize comprehensive information reports to optimize the performance of their organization. These reports include financial, operational and clinical information designed to help customers make informed business decisions, more cost effectively operate their businesses, generate more revenues, continually manage toward best practice and more effectively compete in a cost-contained regulatory environment. Management believes these information technology solutions help home health care providers:
· | reduce operating expense; |
· | improve risk management; |
· | increase policy decision effectiveness; |
· | improve the quality of patient outcomes; |
· | accelerate payment reimbursement; and |
· | handle rapidly changing reimbursement rules and privacy regulations. |
HSS solutions when used together provide a comprehensive set of home health enterprise software.
In addition, utilization of our HQS software and services provides the following advantages:
· | HQS provides a variety of services that enable Medicare home health agencies to meet federal mandates for collecting data. Customers can transmit data to HQS using a variety of approaches. Data from handwritten forms that have been scanned and the image transmitted to HQS or the document can be faxed to HQS. In these two cases the image received by HQS is electronically converted from handwriting to digital data. HQS staff verifies the accuracy of the data and works with the customer to resolve unreadable segments. Customers can also key enter the data online. Finally, customers can collect data on a point of care device and upload the data to the HQS website. On receipt, the data is processed by HQS servers through over 400 Medicare-mandated edits and over 200 HQS devised edits. The resulting edits are typically available for viewing on the web within two hours of receipt. On completion of the editing process, HQS transmits the required data to appropriate government agencies as required under the regulations. |
· | Using the edited data a variety of real time reports are provided that highlight clinical, financial and operational issues/guidelines to assist the customer ensure optimum clinical and financial results. Other reports enable a customer to evaluate the efficacy of the proposed clinical interventions as they relate to the Medicare Conditions of Participation (regulations). |
· | HQS provides reports that enable a customer to evaluate the effectiveness of their services by measuring the clinical outcome of the patient against national norms, guiding the customer to improved processes and best practices. |
· | HQS provides services that deliver medication teaching sheets that are required to be left with the patient that describe how to use of the drug and possible risks. In addition, HQS compares all drugs for a patient that have been entered into the system to determine possible interactions between and among the drug, food and selected herbs. |
· | In addition to the above, HQS provides software to be implemented in customer operations that extract data from a variety of vendors’ software systems that provide decision support information that enables the user to improve clinical and claims operating performance. The collected data is used to provide detailed analysis of the results obtained from clinical diagnoses relative to Medicare reimbursement. These analyses are reported against the cumulative database of all customers to provide a benchmark of clinical practice, extent of clinical interventions and the effect on reimbursement. There are 12 vendors that the HQS software interacts with to extract data including: McKesson Corporation, Cerner Corporation, Misys, Inc., Carecentric, Inc., Delta, Inc. Together these companies control an estimated 40% of the software market in home health. |
Utilization of the CKS software provides the following advantages:
· | CKS provides Web-based software that is designed to handle all types of homecare payers including Medicare, Medicaid, private pay and medical staffing agencies is called VividNet. VividNet is designed to track and manage information necessary for a healthcare company’s operations and profitability. The system provides the flexibility to easily incorporate an agency’s own business rules and logic, ensuring a tailored solution. Information is managed according to the natural workflow of an agency’s operations - from front office client intake and workforce management to back office accounting and reporting. CKS provides services to both private duty and Medicare home health agencies. CKS systems provide caregiver/patient scheduling, track patient visits, report on action, meet regulatory requirements and accounts and provide for reimbursement of services for the home health agency. |
· | The heart of the system is a color-coded scheduling calendar, which drives other essential business operations such as: |
· | CKS is one of a limited number of homecare software companies in the United States that are licensed to use a patent for home health telephony services. The patent provides for the use of 800 numbers to identify the company receiving the call, Dialed Number Identification to recognize the phone that is initiating the call, and processes for confirming time, expense, activity and attendance reporting. |
This integration of operations through a single user interface, coupled with extensive reporting, enables agencies to reduce costs, improve employee retention, enhance profitability and deliver quality care.
We believe opportunities exist for us to extend our products and services to current and future customers. We plan to continue to leverage our software and services applications and related services by building a growing suite of tools that we expect to generate new revenues from an existing customer base.
In addition to the software and online services delivered by the company, we provide support services relating to effective implementation and ongoing use on a fee basis. We offer training and education services either on the customer’s site or over the web. Consulting services relating to the effective use of the available decision support and operations analysis information are also offered for a nominal increase in transaction fees or on a daily fee basis.
Growth Strategy
We believe that the baby boomers entering their post-65 years will place unprecedented demands on the healthcare system of our country. Current public demand for accountability in balancing the quality and cost of healthcare will increase as healthcare costs for the baby boomers consume an increasing portion of the Domestic Gross Product. These demands will require improved and standardized processes be implemented and managed at all points of patient contact. Identifying and eliminating duplication of clinical services, waste and paper in administrative systems will force the adoption of business process management techniques already implemented in other industries. Increased dependency on information technology will be the norm.
As the baby boomers entering the healthcare system begin to have a greater financial impact on the cost of healthcare, we believe that a number of things will happen that will effect our business:
· | There will be public and political pressure to rationalize and consolidate many of the myriad of post acute healthcare delivery venues currently protected under Medicare and Medicaid regulations. |
· | There will be consolidation within post acute verticals such as home care, nursing homes, rehabilitation facilities, hospices, etc. as well as consolidation or elimination of some of the types of providers. |
· | Consolidation of providers will be preceded by an evolving introduction of data standards that enable ready exchange of patient data and measurement of performance. |
· | Ongoing changes will obsolete proprietary, closed systems designs and require flexible, open source approaches. |
· | There will be increased need to devise automated patient plans of care to manage details of specific disease states that can be updated electronically. |
We believe that most providers of services in post acute do not have the resources to invest in or manage the technology required to meet this new environment. We believe the opportunity exists to consolidate information technology vendors in the post acute arena in advance of the rationalization of the healthcare providers themselves.
It is our objective to extend our position as a leading provider of management solutions for home care and enter the market for solutions to other post acute care industries both by developing new systems and by acquiring existing companies that currently provide services to these venues and possess broad domain expertise. Acquired businesses will have already made the investment to migrate their solutions to the web in order to minimize the complex task of integrating disparate systems into the HSS network.
Key elements of this strategy include:
Leverage Our Existing Customer Base.
We believe significant opportunities exist to leverage our existing customer base by selling more applications to customers that utilize less than the full suite of programs, as well as by expanding our suite of programs to provide our customers with enhanced functionality and increased transactional volumes. We intend to continue to develop our current service offerings and to introduce new solutions that assist in the management of specific disease states and complementary products. We may offer our services to other post acute providers.
Offer Our Services to Other Segments of The Post Acute Industry.
We believe that the interest in tools to assist in the management of disease states and conditions will provide us with opportunities to further develop our platform to provide solutions to nursing homes, skilled nursing facilities and inpatient rehabilitation facilities.
Strategic Acquisitions Allowing Further Expansion of our Platform of Solutions and Customer Base.
Management endeavors to increase our platform of solutions to the home health agencies we serve. Management believes there may be opportunities to expand our product offerings and/or customer base through strategic acquisitions. As a result, we regularly evaluate such opportunities.
Customers
Our solutions are provided to home health customers ranging in size from single to large multi-site organizations. As of September 30, 2006, we had approximately 320 customers in 46 states using one or more of our services.
Our largest customers, as measured by revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 include the following:
· | UMASS Memorial Home Health, |
· | IntrepidUSA Healthcare Services, |
· | Personal Touch Home Care |
· | Sta-Home Health Agency. |
Sales and Marketing
Both HQS and CKS sell our services primarily through direct sales forces. HQS currently has five sales staff and CKS has three sales staff.
Since mid-2003, HQS has focused on expanding its vendor partnerships to enhance vendor assisted referrals. HQS’ largest partnerships are with Briggs Corporation, Stratis, Inc., Visiting Nurses Association of America (VNAA), and Magellan Business Partners. Briggs is the largest supplier of clinical documentation systems for home health care and with whom we have jointly developed a selection of scanner-readable home health forms. Stratis, Inc. is a provider of software solutions for private duty and Medicare certified agencies. VNAA with 200+ agencies has certified HQS as a GPO member. Briggs, Stratis and VNAA refer sales leads to us identified during their sales process.
We currently have year long advertisements placed in the two prominent industry publications: Success In Home Care and The Remington Report. In 2006. In the first quarter of 2006 we engaged Magellan Business Partners to assist us reposition HSS and HQS from a marketing perspective. New and coordinated marketing materials, trade show booth displays, website designs and advertising layouts were initiated. These changes were implemented in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Product Development
Both HQS and CKS develop service applications based on requirement specifications produced by Product Management and related task forces. These groups are comprised of clinicians and other domain experts (including regulatory). By maintaining regular contact with customers and experts in the field and tracking the regulatory activity of CMS and the states Medicaid activities the Product Strategy Group determines our product direction and product feature requirements.
The system architecture lends itself to rapid delivery of improved software and product functionality. Key systems are typically modified every 45 to 60 days. The systems are designed as very "thin-client" (customers need only a browser to access the services) minimizing the information technology infrastructure required at the customer site. Customer system requirements are limited to a PC with a standard Internet browser and an Internet connection.
The HQS system architecture is based on the widely accepted J2EE architecture that ensures "openness" and "scalability". The CKS system architecture is based on the Microsoft “.net” model that also ensures "openness" and "scalability". Both approaches provide scalable architectures and lend themselves to integration of databases and communications. The designs and the centralized hosting approach facilitates managing and delivering changes and enhancements to the software and service.
Applications are developed in JAVA and .Net. Both use XML as our messaging layer facilitating interfaces with third-party solutions such as billing vendors. We have implemented a transaction traceability and event tracking capability to the User ID and Password level that enables effective reporting of access and modification to patient health information as required under HIPAA. Adopting a store and forward messaging technique allows application components to function independently while maintaining near real-time communications and high levels of system availability.
In 2004, we initiated development projects to produce new and enhanced products. The first such product, the HQS Medications Risk Manager, was introduced into beta test with one of our large customers in October 2005, and released during the fourth quarter of 2006. This product will not add material revenue during 2006. We expect to introduce one other new service that will be introduced into beta test in the fourth quarter of 2006. These products are not expected to add material revenue during 2006. Development of the underlying software will be produced with existing staff. Other research and development expenses associated with these products is not material and will increase slightly to cover costs related to short term software development contractors or consultants that will be used in the development cycle.
Operations
The HQS and CKS Customer Service organizations provide a variety of operational support to customers. HQS Customer Service includes a verification service that ensures the accuracy of automated Optical Character Recognition translation of hand-written patient assessment information to digital data, assistance with customer data communications, upload data to/from our website, transmitting customer's patient data to appropriate State Departments of Health, acquiring customer reports from CMS and posting these reports to our website for access by the customer and producing customer benchmark reports from our national database.
The Systems Infrastructure organization manages and supports the computer and communications infrastructure for both HQS and CKS that is used by our customers including hosting services, Web services administration, communications administration, application administration, database administration, systems administration and LAN administration.
Both HQS’ and CKS’ products and services are critical to the operation of our customers and therefore our infrastructure requires a high level of service availability. To minimize the risk to the customer, we have our servers that support customer and customer service activities installed in two very secure facilities in Tampa, Florida and Sterling, Virginia managed by Qwest Communications (Qwest CyberCenters) that provide redundant power and air conditioning, redundant Internet connections and redundant telecommunications.
Encryption and Security from Hackers
Our company-owned services, software and communications equipment and the customer data integral to our service delivery are hosted at a Qwest CyberCenter in Tampa, Florida (“Qwest”). Qwest reports that its facilities are designed to withstand up to Category 5 hurricanes. Notwithstanding these assurances, there can be no guarantee that we would be able to operate effectively were the Qwest site to be damaged by a terrorist event or act of nature.
We have implemented various layers of security to ensure appropriate, controlled access to our services including establishing user level password systems and encryption schemes based on 1024 bit keys. We have implemented Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), an industry standard protocol for providing authentication and encryption, verified through the use of certificates provided through Verisign, an industry provider of secure Internet communications. Firewalls are implemented to protect against unauthorized entry and address translation schemes adds a further level of access protection from unauthorized access attempts. Our services agreements generally contain limitations on liability and we maintain insurance with coverage limits of $2,000,000 for general liability. However, the contractual provisions and insurance coverage may not provide adequate coverage against all possible claims that may be asserts.
Competition
The market for healthcare information systems is intensely competitive. The competitive factors affecting the market for our services include:
· | vendor and product reputation, |
· | reliability of the service, |
· | availability of products on preferred computer and communications platforms, |
· | integration with other applications, |
· | functionality and features, |
· | documentation and training, |
· | product quality and performance, |
· | effectiveness of marketing and sales efforts. |
Some of our competitors in the homecare market segment, such as McKesson Corporation, Siemens A G, Eclipsys Technologies Corporation and Keane, Inc. have significantly greater financial, technical, research and development and marketing resources. As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion, sales and support of their products than our company. In addition, consolidation in the healthcare information systems industry may permit our competitors to have access to increased financial and administrative resources, greater technological capabilities and to realize other operational efficiencies and competitive advantages. Moreover, purchasers may prefer to buy computer systems from a single source provider. Because we focus exclusively on assisting the homecare company manage under the Prospective Payment System (as opposed to scheduling or billing systems), we cannot serve as the sole source of computer software for homecare organizations.
Proprietary Rights and Licenses
We depend significantly upon proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of copyright, trade secret and trademark laws, confidentiality procedures and nondisclosure and other contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights. We seek to protect our software, documentation and other written materials under trade secret and copyright laws, which afford only limited protection. We believe that, because of the rapid pace of innovation within the computer software industry, factors such as the technological and creative skills of our personnel, frequent product enhancements and reliable service delivery and ongoing reliable product maintenance and support are more important in establishing and maintaining a leadership position within the industry than are the various legal protections of our technology.
We distribute our products under services agreements that grant a customer a nonexclusive right to use our services for the customer's internal operation by designated users at designated sites. The service agreements may require us to make arrangements for hot standby systems or to deposit the source code and data necessary to deliver our services in an escrow account that may be accessed by the customer in the event of our company's liquidation, dissolution or bankruptcy, or if we fail to cure a material breach of contract.
Governmental Regulation
The healthcare industry is subject to changing political, economic and regulatory influences that may affect the procurement practices and operation of healthcare providers. Many federal and state legislators have announced that they intend to propose programs to reform the United States healthcare system at both the federal and state level. These programs may contain proposals to increase governmental involvement in healthcare, lower reimbursement rates, revise regulatory requirements and otherwise change the environment in which providers operate. Healthcare providers may react to these proposals and the uncertainty surrounding such proposals by curtailing or deferring investments, including investments in our products and related services.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA") establishes rules, regulations and penalties for ensuring the privacy of patient health information. In addition, HIPAA requires standards for the electronic interchange of healthcare and claims data. Though HIPAA affects all aspects of all healthcare providers' operations, the greatest impact will be in the information technology area. The patient health information privacy phase of HIPAA went into effect in April 2003 and the standards for electronic interchange went into effect in October 2003. Conforming to the requirements is a difficult and expensive task. The preliminary document from CMS outlining the regulations exceeds 250 pages.
We have taken various steps to comply with HIPAA. Employees have been educated on the law's effects and a policy and procedure manual has been developed. We have appointed a privacy officer and a compliance officer whose duties include:
· | Tracking regulatory changes; |
· | Performing initial and ongoing privacy risk assessments; |
· | Identifying all sources of Protected Health Information ("PHI"); |
· | Conducting compliance monitoring activities; |
· | Providing guidance for Product Management; |
· | Managing education and training; |
· | Managing and ensuring sanctions for failure to comply; and |
· | Monitoring and reviewing all system-related information security plans to ensure compliance. |
We have also updated our process for customers to sign onto the Web site by assigning individual passwords to each authorized user at customer sites.
It is difficult to assess the costs related to HIPAA compliance because these are sweeping changes for which we have no historical experience. Overall, costs of implementation and risk management may be significant as policy and process development is based on extensive assessment, staff training, IT solution purchases and ongoing compliance evaluation. There will be continuing costs to ensure compliance with the law over time.
Employees
At September 30, 2006, we had 85 full time employees, including 7 in sales; 6 in product management, education and implementation; 38 in operations and customer service; 15 in software development; 2 in hardware support; and 8 in administrative and finance positions. None of our employees are represented by a labor union, nor governed by any collective bargaining agreements. We consider relations with our employees as satisfactory.
Property
We currently rent approximately 13,617 square feet of executive office space located at 405 Reo Street, Suite 300, Tampa, Florida 33609. We rent this space for $22,395 per month. The lease term is through August 31, 2013. We also rent approximately 7,147 square feet of executive office space located at One Dunwoody Park, Suite 240, Dunwoody, GA 30338. We rent this space for $11,001 per month. The lease term is though June 30, 2007. HSS has signed a lease for an additional 6,236 square feet of executive office space located at 405 Reo Street, Tampa, Florida 33609. Rent will be $9,830.85 and will begin when the space is made available to HSS. The office space is expected to be available in the fourth quarter of 2006. These spaces are adequate to maintain and expand our business operations.
We also have a one year agreement with Qwest CyberCenter for our co-location of our data servers. Cost is approximately $10,000 per month. The current services agreement with Qwest extends from July 1, 2006 until June 30, 2007 and is automatically renewable for additional one year terms. The agreement may only be terminated by either party upon at least 80 days written notice prior to the end of a term. We believe that if our agreement with Qwest is terminated that we have several alternative data servers and that our agreement with Qwest can be replaced.
Legal Proceedings
There are currently no material legal proceedings, nor pending legal proceedings involving our company.

Audit Committee
The Audit Committee, which currently consists of Steven Katz and Batsheva Schreiber, reviews the professional services provided by our independent auditors, the independence of our auditors from our management, our annual financial statements and our system of internal accounting controls. Mr. Katz is considered by us to be a “financial expert.” The Audit Committee also reviews other matters with respect to our accounting, auditing and financial reporting practices and procedures as it may find appropriate or may be brought to its attention. The Company’s board of directors has adopted a written Charter of the Audit Committee. Ms. Schreiber, a member of the Audit Committee, is deemed independent, as defined in the National Association of Securities Dealers’ listing standards. The Audit Committee met on four occasions during the year ended December 31, 2005.
Compensation Committee
We do not have a formal compensation committee. The board of directors, acting as a compensation committee, periodically meets to discuss and deliberate on issues surrounding the terms and conditions of executive officer compensation, including base salaries, bonuses, awards of stock options and reimbursement of certain business related costs and expenses.
Nominating Committee
We do not have a formal nominating committee. The board of directors, acting as a nominating committee, recommends candidates who will be nominated as management’s slate of directors at each annual meeting of shareholders.
In May 2004, the Board adopted a general policy setting forth qualifications of directors, procedures for identification and evaluation of candidates for nomination, and procedures for recommendation of candidates by shareholders. A candidate for director should meet the following criteria:
· | Must, above all, be of proven integrity with a record of substantial achievement. |
· | Must have demonstrated ability and sound judgment that usually will be based on broad experience. |
· | Must be able and willing to devote the required amount of time to our affairs, including attendance at Board and committee meetings and the annual shareholders’ meeting. |
· | Must possess a judicious and somewhat critical temperament that will enable objective appraisal of management’s plans and programs. |
· | Must be committed to our company building sound, long-term growth. |
Other than the foregoing, the Board does not believe there is any single set of qualities or skills that an individual must possess to be an effective director or that it is appropriate to establish any specific, minimum qualifications for a candidate for election as a director. Rather, the Committee will consider each candidate in light of the strengths of the other members of the board of directors and the needs of the Board and our company at the time of the election. The board of directors will also consider candidates for directors nominated by shareholders.

2003 Management and Director Equity Incentive and Compensation Plan
In May 2003 we adopted the 2003 Management and Director Equity Incentive and Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to advance our interests and those of our shareholders by providing a means of attracting and retaining key employees, directors and consultants. In order to serve this purpose, we believe this Plan encourages and enables key employees, directors and consultants to participate in our future prosperity and growth by providing them with incentives and compensation based on our performance, development and financial success. Participants in the Plan may include our officers, directors, other key employees and consultants who have responsibilities affecting our management, development or financial success.
We initially reserved an aggregate of 3,300,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the Plan, but subsequently reduced the number of shares to 1,000,000 and reduced to 500,000 due to the reverse stock split on February 21, 2006. Our Board of Directors (or at their discretion a committee of our board members) administers the Plan including, without limitation, the selection of recipients of awards under the Plan, the granting of stock options, restricted share or performance shares, the determination of the terms and conditions of any such awards, the interpretation of the Plan and any other action they deem appropriate in connection with the administration of the Plan.
On March 28, 2005, our Board of Directors unanimously voted to authorize that incentive stock options to purchase an aggregate of 49,500 shares of our Common Stock be granted to employees under the Plan. Such options shall have an exercise price of $3.50 per share and shall vest to the extent of 25% of the respective aggregate granted for each twelve continuous months of employment subsequent to January 1, 2005, with the unexercised portion of such respective options to expire June 1, 2010 or should the employee leave our employ. Further, on March 28, 2005, 71,500 previously issued options were cancelled.
On May 9, 2005, our Board of Directors unanimously voted to authorize that incentive stock options to purchase an aggregate of 9,250 shares of our Common Stock be granted to employees under the Plan. Such options shall have an exercise price of $3.90 per share and shall vest to the extent of 25% of the respective aggregate granted for each twelve continuous months of employment subsequent to January 1, 2005, with the unexercised portion of such respective options to expire June 1, 2010, or should the employee leave our employ. Further, on May 9, 2005, the Board of Directors unanimously voted under the Plan to grant non-qualified stock options to purchase an aggregate of 10,000 shares of Common Stock to our two outside directors. Such options shall have an exercise price of $3.90 per share and shall vest to the extent of 25% of the respective aggregate granted for each twelve continuous months of board membership subsequent to May 9, 2005, with the unexercised portion of such respective options to expire June 1, 2010 or should the director leave the Board of Directors of the Company.
On March 29, 2006, our Board of Directors unanimously voted to authorize that incentive stock options to purchase 118,750 shares of our Common Stock be granted to employees under the Plan. The options have an exercise price of $0.33 per share and shall vest to the extent of 25% of the respective aggregate granted for each twelve continuous months of employment subsequent to January 1, 2005, with the unexercised portion of such respective options to expire should the employee leave our employment. Also, 98,000 previously issued options were cancelled. The sales and issuances of these securities were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by virtue of Rule 701 promulgated under Section 3(b) of the Securities Act as transactions pursuant to compensation benefits plans and contracts relating to compensation.
Further, on March 29, 2006, our Board of Directors unanimously voted under the Plan to grant non-qualified stock options to purchase an aggregate of 5,000 shares of Common Stock to our two outside directors. Such options have an exercise price of $0.33 per share and shall vest to the extent of 25% of the respective aggregate granted for each twelve continuous months of board membership subsequent to January 1, 2005, with the unexercised portion of such respective options to expire should the director leave our Board of Directors. The sales and issuances of these securities were deemed to be exempt from registration by virtue of Rule 701 promulgated under Section 3(b) of the Securities Act as transactions pursuant to compensation benefits plans and contracts relating to compensation.
On May 12, 2006, our Board of Directors unanimously voted to authorize that incentive stock options to purchase 39,125 shares of our Common Stock be granted to employees under the Plan. The options have an exercise price of $1.01 per share and shall vest to the extent of 25% of the respective aggregate granted for each twelve continuous months of employment subsequent to April 1, 2006, with the unexercised portion of such respective options to expire should the employee leave our employment. The sales and issuances of these securities were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by virtue of Rule 701 promulgated under Section 3(b) of the Securities Act as transactions pursuant to compensation benefits plans and contracts relating to compensation.
As of September 30, 2006, 436,125 options were issued leaving an unissued stock option balance of 63,875.
Director Compensation
Currently, all directors, other than our officers, receive an annual fee of $5,000. Effective June 30, 2006, the annual fee increased to $10,000. We do not pay fees to directors for their attendance at meetings that are not executive officers of the board of directors or of committees; however, we may adopt a policy of making such payments in the future. We will reimburse out-of-pocket expenses incurred by directors in attending Board and committee meetings.
Employment and Consulting Agreements
We have no employment contracts with any of our executive officers or directors and maintain no retirement, fringe benefit or similar plans for the benefit of our officers or directors.
However, in connection with the acquisition of Carekeeper, we entered into employment agreements with Jake C. Levy and Dorothy A. Levy. Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Levy will serve as the chief executive officer of CKS. The employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of $156,000 and has an initial term of three years. The employment agreement also provides for annual bonuses as determined by our Board of Directors and options to purchase 15,000 shares of our Common Stock. Pursuant to her employment agreement, Ms. Levy will serve as the director of quality assurance of CKS. The employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of $105,000 and has an initial term of three years. The employment agreement also provides for annual bonuses as determined by our Board of Directors and options to purchase 7,500 shares of our Common Stock.
In addition to the foregoing, we may enter into additional employment contracts with our officers and key employees, adopt various benefit plans and begin paying compensation to our officers and directors as we deem appropriate to attract and retain the services of such persons.
Limitation of Liability
Pursuant to the Nevada Revised Statutes, we have the power to indemnify any person made a party to any lawsuit by reason of being our director or officer, or serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Our bylaws provide that we shall indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Transactions with Stanford
Stanford International Bank Limited (“Stanford”) is the owner of a majority of our issued and outstanding Common Stock and all of our issued and outstanding Preferred Stock.
We granted to Stanford and its affiliates certain registration rights under certain registration rights agreements with respect to the shares of Common Stock it owns and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock. No later than December 31, 2004, we were required to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act registering the re-sale of the shares of Common Stock owned and shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock. Stanford has waived its registration rights.
On July 6, 2004, HQS entered into a $1,600,000 loan and security agreement with Stanford. Under this agreement, interest accrues at the rate of 8% per annum and principal matures and becomes payable three years from the date of the loan. The loan is secured by a security interest in all of our assets and a corporate guaranty that has been executed in favor of Stanford. As of September 30, 2004, Stanford had advanced us $900,000 (including $400,000 advanced on June 30, 2004 to satisfy a $400,000 assumed liability owed to the Internal Revenue Service by our predecessor).
As of March 15, 2005, we had borrowed $1,050,000 and the balance of $550,000 was available to us. Previously, certain draws under the loan and security agreement were subject to our achieving adjusted consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; however, Stanford subsequently waived the requirement.
Additionally, as consideration for entering into the loan and security agreement, Stanford received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 360,000 shares of our Common Stock. The exercise price of the warrants is $0.002 per share and the warrants expire on June 30, 2009. Stanford has assigned warrants to purchase 180,000 shares to four of its employees pursuant to a warrant assignment agreement. We registered the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The warrants issued to the employees were exercised on August 12, 2004 and the warrants issued to Stanford were exercised on September 8, 2004.
On November 8, 2005, we entered into a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with Stanford pursuant to which Stanford purchased 725,000 shares of our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of $2.00 per share and received warrants to purchase 217,500 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $0.002 per share. The proceeds were used to satisfy in full the principal balance of our credit line with Stanford, which was terminated, and to provide an additional $200,000 in working capital for general corporate purposes through December 31, 2005. Stanford also agreed to purchase 200,000 additional shares of Preferred Stock and to receive, in connection therewith, an aggregate of 60,000 warrants, to the extent requested by us on two weeks notice. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into one half share of our Common Stock and is entitled to one half vote per share. Stanford has the right at any time within two years of the initial closing to purchase an additional 3,900,000 shares of preferred stock at $2.00 per share and to receive in connection therewith an aggregate of 1,170,000 warrants exercisable at $0.002 per share.
The exercise price of the warrants is $0.002 per share, and the warrants expire five years from the date of issuance. Stanford has assigned half of all warrants issuable under the Agreement, including 108,750 of the 217,500 warrants issued so far, to five of its employees pursuant to a warrant assignment agreement.
We are obligated to register the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock or exercise of the warrants pursuant to a registration rights agreement within 90 days after the date of demand by the security holders. If we do not timely file a required registration statement, we must issue upon default and each month thereafter that the registration statement is not filed, warrants to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Preferred Stock sold.
As of September 30, 2006, we have drawn down $5,150,000 under the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with Stanford resulting in the issuance of 2,575,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The issuance so these securities were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.

Accordingly, the Board of Directors is empowered, without shareholder approval, to issue Preferred Stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the Common Stock. In the event of issuance, the Preferred Stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control.

Effective July 6, 2004, we agreed to issue 225,000 shares of our Common Stock to American Capital Ventures, Inc. in consideration for investor relations services. We amended and restated that agreement on August 5, 2004 to reduce the number of shares by half to give effect to the reverse stock split we had previously approved. Voting power for American Capital Ventures, Inc. is held by Howard Gostfrand. Under an amended and restated investor relations agreement with American Capital Ventures, Inc. dated August 5, 2004, American Capital Ventures was required to provide us with investor relations services for a period of 18 months in consideration of 112,500 shares of our Common Stock. The restated agreement is materially the same as an original investor relations agreement entered into with American Capital Ventures on July 1, 2004, except the number of shares issued to American Capital Ventures was revised to account for our one for two reverse stock split effectuated in July 2004. Under the agreement we agreed to include these shares in this prospectus. We also agreed to pay American Capital Ventures a monthly fee of $12,000 during the term of the agreement. The agreement will automatically renew for successive one-year terms unless terminated by either party. The agreement was renewed for the period ending July, 6, 2007.
Messrs. Bogar, Fusselmann, Pi and Stein, included in the table below, are employees of Stanford and received their securities from assignments from Stanford. These securities were assigned to them by Stanford as a bonus, as part of their continued employment with Stanford. The employees have total control and beneficial ownership over the securities assigned to them and they are entitled and expect to personally retain any proceeds of this sale of any such securities. On October 16, 2002, each employee was assigned warrants to purchase 58,761 shares of our Common Stock. These warrants were originally issued to Stanford pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of October 16, 2002. The warrants were exercisable at a price of $0.002 per share pursuant to an instrument of Warrant Repricing Agreement dated April 30, 2003. Each employee exercised these warrants on May 12, 2003. In addition, the employees each received warrants to purchase 45,000 shares of our Common Stock pursuant to a Warrant Assignment Agreement dated July 6, 2004 by and between the employees and Stanford. Stanford received these warrants pursuant to a loan and security agreement dated July 6, 2004 by and between Stanford and HQS. The warrants were assigned to the employees and exercised on August 12, 2004. The exercise price was $.002 per share. All of the underlying shares of Common Stock held by the employees contain registration rights pursuant to the amended Registration Rights Agreement dated as of October 22, 2002 by and among our company, Stanford, the employees and Deluxe Investment Company which required us to file a registration statement covering the shares on or before December 31, 2004. The remaining shares of Common Stock held by the employees are registrable under a Registration Rights Agreement dated July 6, 2004 which also required us to file a registration statement covering the shares on or before December 31, 2004.
Messrs. Bogar, Fusselmann, Pi and Stein are employees of Stanford Group Company, a registered broker-dealer and they are deemed to be affiliates of a registered broker-dealer. They acquired the securities described above in the ordinary course of business in a private placement for investment purposes and without a view to distribution, and had no agreements, understandings or arrangements with any other person, either directly or indirectly, to dispose of the securities.
Pursuant to the registration rights provided to Deluxe Investment Company and the employees of Stanford, in the event that we did not file this registration statement on or before December 31, 2004, the warrant holders would have been entitled to warrants to purchase one share of Common Stock for each ten warrants held by such warrant holder per month until our registration statement was filed. The initial filing of the registration of which this Prospectus forms a part satisfied our obligations to Deluxe Investment Company and the employees of Stanford.
The preceding table sets forth the name of the selling shareholders, the number of common shares that may be offered by the selling shareholders and the number of common shares to be owned by the selling shareholders after the offering. The table also assumes that each selling shareholder sells all common shares listed by its name. The table below sets forth information as of the date of this Prospectus. The percentage calculations for the selling shareholders do not include any common shares issuable upon the exercise of any currently outstanding warrants, options or other rights to acquire common shares, other than those that the selling shareholders beneficially own.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The shares of Common Stock owned, or which may be acquired, by the selling shareholders may be offered and sold by means of this Prospectus from time to time as market conditions permit in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise, at prices and terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then-current market price, or in negotiated transactions. These shares may be sold by one or more of the following methods, without limitation:
| | a block trade in which a broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| | purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this Prospectus; |
| | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; and |
| | face-to-face transactions between sellers and purchasers without a broker/dealer. |
In effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Such brokers or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from selling shareholders in amounts to be negotiated.
The selling shareholders and any broker/dealers who act in connection with the sale of the shares hereunder may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by them and profit on any resale of the shares as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. We have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders, and any securities broker/dealers who may be deemed to be underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act as underwriters or otherwise.
We have advised the selling shareholders that they and any securities broker/dealers or others who may be deemed to be statutory underwriters will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act. We have also advised each selling shareholder that in the event of a "distribution" of the shares owned by the selling shareholder, such selling shareholder, any "affiliated purchasers", and any broker/dealer or other person who participates in such distribution, may be subject to Rule 102 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 until their participation in that distribution is completed. Rule 102 makes it unlawful for any person who is participating in a distribution to bid for or purchase stock of the same class as is the subject of the distribution. A "distribution" is defined in Rule 102 as an offering of securities "that is distinguished from ordinary trading transactions by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling efforts and selling methods". We have also advised the selling shareholders that Rule 101 under the 1934 Act prohibits any "stabilizing bid" or "stabilizing purchase" for the purpose of pegging, fixing or stabilizing the price of the Common Stock in connection with this offering.
We do not intend to distribute or deliver the Prospectus by means other than by hand or mail.
We have advised each selling shareholder that during the time as they may be engaged in a distribution of the shares included in this prospectus they are required to comply with Regulation M of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. During such time as the selling shareholders may be engaged in a distribution of the securities covered by this prospectus, the selling shareholders are required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes the selling shareholders, any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in such distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to introduce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject to the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also restricts bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of our Common Stock.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
As of the date of this Prospectus, we have 6,413,407 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. This does not include shares that may be issued upon conversion of outstanding convertible preferred stock or exercise of outstanding options and warrants.
We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of Common Stock or the availability of these shares for sale will have on the market price of our shares from time to time. Nevertheless, the possibility that substantial amounts of Common Stock may be sold in the public market could negatively damage and affect market prices for our Common Stock and could damage our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the securities offered by this Prospectus will be passed upon for us by Adorno & Yoss LLP, 2525 Ponce de Leon Boulevard, Fourth Floor, Miami, Florida 33134.
EXPERTS
Our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2005 and for the year then ended, are included herein in reliance on the reports of Sherb & Co., LLP, independent accountants, given on the authority of that firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

1. Description of Business, Acquisitions and Consolidation
Health Systems Solutions, Inc. (“HSS”) through its wholly owned subsidiary, Healthcare Quality Solutions, Inc. (“HQS”) provides assistance to the home healthcare industry in managing their businesses throughout the United States of America, utilizing internally developed software. The software produces information to support clinical, financial and administrative decisions made by management in operating and administrating their organization. The Company operates in one segment.
On September 17, 2002 Provider Acquisition, LLC (“PAL”), which was formed in the State of Florida on June 28, 2002, acquired certain assets of Provider Solutions Corp. (“PSC”) for $250,000 in cash, subject to certain liabilities. The principal reason for the acquisition was to purchase the technology that the Company currently employs in its business. Total consideration paid has been allocated as follows:
Current Assets | | $ | 357,820 | |
Goodwill | | | 6,838,135 | |
Software Development Costs | | | 1,325,000 | |
Fixed Assets | | | 68,206 | |
Other Assets | | | 15,654 | |
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses | | | (557,362 | ) |
Deferred Revenue | | | (438,131 | ) |
Secured Debt | | | (7,357,322 | ) |
Other Liabilities | | | (2,000 | ) |
| | | | |
Purchase price | | $ | 250,000 | |
Following PAL’s acquisition of the assets of PSC, the holder of PSC’s secured indebtedness converted all of the indebtedness into equity of PAL. The debt was converted to relieve the Company of the obligation. The debt conversion was recorded as additional paid-in capital.
This acquisition created $6,954,927 of purchased goodwill that includes other excess costs of approximately $116,800. As of September 17, 2002 PAL determined that this goodwill was impaired and subsequently wrote off the entire balance.
Silver Key Mining Company, Inc. (“Silver Key”), the predecessor to HSS, was originally incorporated in the State of Idaho on June 25, 1971. On September 17, 2002 Silver Key changed its domicile from Idaho to Nevada by filing Articles of Merger between Silver Key (Idaho) and Silver Key Mining Company, Inc. a Nevada corporation. The surviving entity Silver Key (Nevada) (the “Company”), which was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 31, 2001, acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Silver Key (Idaho).
On October 11, 2002 the Board of Directors of the Company approved a five to one reverse stock split with a record date of October 21, 2002. After the reverse stock split the Company had 512,601 shares of common stock outstanding. All share and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.
On October 15, 2002, the Company formed HQS, a Florida corporation, which was and remains wholly owned by the Company.
On October 22, 2002 PAL entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with the Company, HQS and certain principal stockholders of the Company, as defined in the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, PAL was merged with and into HQS and HQS survived as the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary.

1. Description of Business, Acquisitions and Consolidation - continued
The merger became effective on October 24, 2002, (the “Effective Date”) concurrent with the Articles of Merger being filed with the Secretary of State of Florida. As a result of the former members of PAL acquiring a controlling interest (58%) of the outstanding common stock of the Company the transaction was accounted for as a “reverse merger.” Pursuant to the Merger Agreement the Company issued 1,071,429 shares of its common stock to the members of PAL. Upon completion of the acquisition, the Company issued an additional 237,399 shares of its common stock to parties who were instrumental in arranging the merger. These shares of common stock were considered part of the cost of the acquisition and have been recorded at the fair value of $4,750 (quoted market price - $.02 per share) on the date of the transaction with a corresponding reduction of additional paid in capital. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
Although Silver Key is the legal survivor in the merger and remains the registrant, until November 2002 (see below) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America because the stockholders of PAL acquired more than 50% of the post transaction consolidated entity, PAL is considered to be the “acquirer” of Silver Key for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, this requires Silver Key, among other things, to present in all future financial statements and other public filings after completion of the merger, prior historical financial information and other information of PAL and requires a retroactive restatement of PAL’s historical stockholders’ investment for the equivalent number of shares of common stock received in the merger.
On December 10, 2002, the Company filed an articles of amendment to its articles of incorporation changing its name from Silver Key (Nevada) to Health Systems Solutions, Inc.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation and consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements which present the results of operations of HSS and its wholly owned subsidiary, HQS, for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 have been prepared using accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America. All material intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Allowance for doubtful accounts: The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectibilty of customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a deterioration of a major customer’s credit worthiness or actual defaults are higher than the Company’s historical experience, the Company’s estimates of the recoverability of amounts due it could be adversely affected. The Company regularly reviews the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts through identification of specific receivables where it is expected that payments will not be received. The Company also establishes an unallocated reserve that is applied to all amounts that are not specifically identified. In determining specific receivables where collections may not be received, the Company reviews past due receivables and gives consideration to prior collection history and changes in the customer’s overall business condition. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate as of the reporting dates. Changes may occur in the future, which may require the Company to reassess the collectibility of amounts and at which time the Company may need to provide additional allowances in excess of that currently provided.
Cash and cash equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments, with a remaining maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Property and equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives of three years are used for computer equipment and related software and five years for office equipment and furniture and fixtures. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the shorter of the remaining lease terms or five years. The Company uses an accelerated method of depreciation for tax reporting which is not materially different from financial reporting. Normal maintenance and repairs of property and equipment are expensed as incurred while renewals, betterments and major repairs that materially extend the useful life of property and equipment are capitalized.
Software development costs: The Company capitalizes certain costs of software developed or obtained for internal use in accordance with AICPA SOP 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Corporate Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use (“SOP 98-1”). We capitalize software development costs when application development begins, it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used as intended. Costs associated with preliminary project stage activities, training, maintenance and all other post implementation stage activities are expensed as incurred. Our policy provides for the capitalization of certain payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with developing or obtaining internal use software. Capitalizable personnel costs are limited to the time directly spent on such projects. Capitalized costs are ratably amortized using the straight-line method, over the estimated useful lives of the related applications of three years. The Company makes on-going evaluations of the recoverability of its capitalized software by comparing the amount capitalized for each product to the estimated net realizable value of the product. If such evaluations indicate that the unamortized software development costs exceed the net realizable value, the company writes off the amount that the unamortized software development costs exceed net realizable value.
Goodwill and other intangibles: Goodwill represents the excess of costs over fair value of assets of businesses acquired. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”), as of January 1, 2002. SFAS 142 requires goodwill to be tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances, and written down when impaired, rather than being amortized as previous accounting standards required. Furthermore, SFAS 142 requires purchased intangible assets other than goodwill to be amortized over their useful lives unless these lives are determined to be indefinite. In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company performed impairment tests on all goodwill and purchased intangible assets from the acquired assets and liabilities of Provider Solutions Corp. on September 17, 2002. The goodwill was written off after the company performed these impairment tests and determined that the fair value of the goodwill exceeded its carrying value. Fair value was determined by estimates of future cash flows. At September 17, 2002, the state of the business, the projected shortage of short term and future cash, the anticipation of continued losses and the reduced level of sales indicated that without ongoing investment, a source for which had not been identified, the business was not a going concern and that there was no utility to the value of the goodwill. We determined the company's projections for cash flow from the acquired assets was insufficient to support the goodwill as an asset and that an immediate goodwill impairment write-off was in order.Pursuant to the impairment tests, all goodwill and purchased intangibles of $6,954,927 was written off as of September 17, 2002.
Impairment of long-lived assets: In accordance with SFAS 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered. In such circumstances, the Company will estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Future cash flows are the future cash inflows expected to be generated by an asset less the future outflows expected to be necessary to obtain those inflows. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company will recognize an impairment loss to adjust to the fair value of the asset. At December 31, 2005 no long-lived assets were impaired.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Concentration of credit risk: Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited to customers dispersed across the United States of America. All trade receivables are concentrated in the healthcare segment of the economy; accordingly the Company is exposed to business and economic risk. Although the Company does not currently foresee a concentrated credit risk associated with these trade receivables, repayment is dependent upon the financial stability of the healthcare industry.
Income taxes: The Company uses the liability method for income taxes as required by SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Revenue recognition and deferred revenue: The Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive. We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of a final agreement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Currently, we primarily employ a web-based application service provider model to deliver our services to our home healthcare customers. In instances where the customer specifies final acceptance of the system or service, we defer revenue until all acceptance criteria have been met. Our revenue is classified into two categories: recurring and non-recurring. For the year ended December 31, 2005 approximately 93% of our total revenue was recurring and 7% was non-recurring. We price these services primarily on a transaction fee basis (calculated based upon the number of patient clinical assessments made by a customer during a period) and, to a lesser extent, on a subscription fee basis. Clinical assessments, which are mandated by Medicare, require Home Health Care Agencies to collect assessment data on all patients requiring home health care at the start-of-care and at discharge. Our products PPS collect, editor, executive, dashboard, trans, outcomes, and Oasis auditor all assist in the collection of assessment data and are all charged on a transaction basis and this recurring revenue is typically billed and recognized monthly. We earn the revenues from subscriptions ratably over the period of the respective agreement, generally one year. We record cash payments received in advance or at beginning of a contract as deferred revenue. We recognize transaction fee based revenues in the period the transaction is processed. We generate non-recurring revenue from implementation fees, consulting, training and customer support services and this non-recurring revenue is charged to customers on a fee basis usually based upon time spent. We recognize implementation fees in the month that the customer goes live and we recognize training, consultation, advisory and support revenue in the month that the service is performed. Implementation costs consisting of payroll and travel are expensed in the same period implementation fees are recognized. Typical sales terms would be 30 days from the date of invoice.
Advertising costs: The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $79,884, and for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $114,207, and are included in selling and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
Research and development costs: The Company expenses all research and development expenses, which consist of payroll and other related costs, as incurred. Research and development costs for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $629,473 and for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $576,194.
Computation of net income (loss) per share: The Company presents basic earnings (loss) per share and, if appropriate, diluted earnings per share in accordance with SFAS 128, “Earnings Per Share (“SFAS 128”). Under SFAS 128 basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents during the period. At December 31, 2005, the Convertible Preferred Stocks were convertible into 362,500 Common Stock shares and there were stock options to purchase 371,250 Common Stock shares.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Financial instruments: The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, customer deposits and deferred revenue approximate fair value as of December 31, 2005, due to the relatively short maturity of the instruments. The capital lease obligation approximates fair value based upon debt terms available to Company’s under similar terms.
Use of estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent accounting pronouncements: In June 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 This Statement generally requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle. Previously, Opinion No. 20 required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle were recognized by including the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle in net income of the period of the change. FAS 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting principle in the usual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. This Statement should be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”) which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS 123R supercedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. SFAS 123R requires the measurement of all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, using a fair-value based method and the recording of such expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of income. The accounting provisions of SFAS 123R are effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 123R in the first quarter of 2006. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. The Company is evaluating the requirements under SFAS 123R and does not expect the adoption to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of income and net income per share.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
3. Loan and Security Agreement
On July 6, 2004, HQS entered into a $1,600,000 loan and security agreement with Stanford Venture Capital Holdings, Inc., the majority stockholder of the Company. Under this agreement, interest accrued at the rate of 8% per annum and principal was to mature and become payable three years from the date of the loan. The loan was secured by a security interest in all of the assets of the Company and HQS and a corporate guaranty of the Company that had been executed in favor of Stanford. HQS had borrowed $1,250,000 against the loan and security agreement when on November 8, 2005, the Company refinanced the outstanding amount of $1,250,000 by entering into the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with Stanford and thus terminating the loan and security agreement.

4. Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement
On November 8, 2005, the Company entered into a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with its principal stockholder, Stanford International Bank Ltd. The Company agreed to issue to Stanford its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of $2.00 per share together with warrants exercisable for 3/10 of a share of common stock for each share of Series C Preferred Stock purchased.

Reverse Stock Split: The Company’s Board of Directors voted unanimously to authorize and recommend that stockholders approve a proposal to affect a reverse split. Pursuant to the reverse split, each two of the outstanding shares of common stock for shareholders of record on January 18, 2006 are automatically converted into one share of common stock. The reverse split does not alter the number of shares of Common Stock authorized but simply reduces the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. Further, holders of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock will receive half the number of shares of common stock upon conversion of their preferred stock, which such holders would have been able to receive upon conversion of their preferred shares immediately preceding the reverse split. The Amendment of the Articles of Incorporation was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on February 21, 2006. The reverse stock split is presented retroactive for all periods presented.

Statement No. 123-R, Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”) as interpreted by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The Company adopted the modified prospective transition method provided under SFAS 123R, and consequently has not retroactively adjusted results from prior periods. Under this transition method, compensation cost associated with stock-based awards recognized in the third quarter of 2006 includes 1) quarterly amortization related to the remaining unvested portion of stock-based awards granted prior to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of FASB No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”); and 2) quarterly amortization related to stock-based awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based awards using the “disclosure only” alternative described in SFAS 123 and FASB Statement No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.
The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of each individual issuance of options. The following assumptions were used for grants during the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005:
| | | 2006 | | | 2005 | |
| | | | | | | |
Expected dividend yield | | | 0.0 | % | | 0.0 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 5.0 | % | | 5.0 | % |
Expected volatility | | | 163.3 | % | | 68.2 | % |
The Company recorded $10,212 and $25,614 of stock-based compensation expense relative to stock options for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, in accordance with SFAS 123R. A summary of stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 is presented as follows:

The table below sets out the pro forma amounts of net income and earnings per share that would have resulted for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, if the Company had accounted for its stock options under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123:

Pro forma net loss | | $ | (449,670 | ) |
Basic, as reported | | $ | (.08 | ) |
Basic, pro forma | | $ | (.08 | ) |
Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectibilty of customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a deterioration of a major customer’s credit worthiness or actual defaults are higher than the Company’s historical experience, the Company’s estimates of the recoverability of amounts due it could be adversely affected. The Company regularly reviews the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts through identification of specific receivables where it is expected that payments will not be received. The Company also establishes an unallocated reserve that is applied to all amounts that are not specifically identified. In determining specific receivables where collections may not be received, the Company reviews past due receivables and gives consideration to prior collection history and changes in the customer’s overall business condition. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate as of the reporting dates. Changes may occur in the future, which may require the Company to reassess the collectibility of amounts, at which time the Company may need to provide additional allowances in excess of that currently provided.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In June 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with this interpretation is a two step process. The first step is recognition : The enterprise determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the enterprise should presume that the position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. The second step is measurement : A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to materially effect the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In September, 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principals (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The definition of fair value retains the exchange price notion in earlier definitions of fair value. The exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability in the market in which the reporting entity would transact for the asset or liability. Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market would use in pricing the asset or liability. This Statement expands disclosures about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to initial recognition. The disclosures focus on the inputs used to measure the fair value and the effect of the measurements on earnings. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to materially effect the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In September, 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R). This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in the unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This Statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit post-retirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. As the Company does not currently have a defined benefit post-retirement plan, it does not expect to be impacted by the adoption of FAS 158.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 4 - PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
On November 8, 2005, the Company entered into a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with its principal stockholder, Stanford International Bank Ltd. The Company agreed to issue to Stanford its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of $2.00 per share together with warrants to purchase 3/10 of a share of common stock for each share of Series C Preferred Stock purchased. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into one half share of Common Stock and is entitled to one half vote per share. In the event of liquidation, holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and before any distribution of assets shall be made to the holders of any Common Stock, an amount equal to the Stated Value per share. The Warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.002 per share. At September 30, 2006, the Company has an availability of $500,000 to draw down under the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement on two week’s notice and the agreement calls for an additional $3.6 million that may be sold to Stanford to provide it with funds to complete acquisitions or additional working capital uses that may be approved by Stanford in its sole discretion.

Notes to Financial Statements
Years Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004
1. Description of Business
VantaHealth Technologies, LLC (“Vanta”) assists homecare businesses manage their daily operations. Vanta’s The Analyzer product provides decision support information based on the analysis of financial data extracted from the home healthcare company’s billing system.
Vanta is a Limited Liability Corporation, equally owned, between Rivendale Technologies, Inc. and ZA Consulting, LLC and was formed December 7, 2000, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation: The accompanying financial statements which present the results of operations of Vanta for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Allowance for doubtful accounts: The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectibilty of customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a deterioration of a major customer’s credit worthiness or actual defaults are higher than the Company’s historical experience, the Company’s estimates of the recoverability of amounts due it could be adversely affected. The Company regularly reviews the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts through identification of specific receivables where it is expected that payments will not be received. The Company also establishes an unallocated reserve that is applied to all amounts that are not specifically identified. In determining specific receivables where collections may not be received, the Company reviews past due receivables and gives consideration to prior collection history and changes in the customer’s overall business condition. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate as of the reporting dates. Changes may occur in the future, which may require the Company to reassess the collectibility of amounts and at which time the Company may need to provide additional allowances in excess of that currently provided.
Cash and cash equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments, with a remaining maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents.
Property and equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives of three years are used for computer equipment and five years for proprietary software. The Company uses an accelerated method of depreciation for tax reporting which is not materially different from financial reporting. Normal maintenance and repairs of property and equipment are expensed as incurred while renewals, betterments and major repairs that materially extend the useful life of property and equipment are capitalized.
Software development costs: The Company capitalizes certain costs of software developed or obtained for internal use in accordance with AICPA SOP 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Corporate Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use (“SOP 98-1”). Capitalized costs are ratably amortized using the straight-line method, over the estimated useful lives of the related applications of five years. The Company makes on-going evaluations of the recoverability of its capitalized software by comparing the amount capitalized for each product to the estimated net realizable value of the product. If such evaluations indicate that the unamortized software development costs exceed the net realizable value, the Company writes off the amount that the unamortized software development costs exceed net realizable value.

Notes to Financial Statements
Years Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004
Impairment of long-lived assets: In accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered. In such circumstances, the Company will estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Future cash flows are the future cash inflows expected to be generated by an asset less the future outflows expected to be necessary to obtain those inflows. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company will recognize an impairment loss to adjust to the fair value of the asset. At December 31, 2005 no long-lived assets were impaired.
Concentration of credit risk: Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited to customers dispersed across the United States of America. All trade receivables are concentrated in the healthcare segment of the economy; accordingly the Company is exposed to business and economic risk. Although the Company does not currently foresee a concentrated credit risk associated with these trade receivables, repayment is dependent upon the financial stability of the healthcare industry.
Income taxes: The Company is registered in Pennsylvania as a limited liability company. A state registered limited liability company is treated for Federal income tax purposes as a partnership. A partnership is not subject to corporate Federal income tax because the earnings and losses are reported directly by the members of the limited liability company on their individual income tax returns. As such, the Company has not recorded any federal or state tax liabilities as of December 31, 2005.
Revenue recognition and deferred revenue: The Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of a final agreement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. In instances where the customer specifies final acceptance of the system or service, we defer revenue until all acceptance criteria have been met. Service or subscription revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the service or subscription period obligations, which are typically one year. Cash payments received in advance of product, service or subscription are recorded as deferred revenue. Typical sales terms would be 30 days from the date of invoice.
Advertising costs: The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $66,485, and for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $43,785, and are included in selling and marketing expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.
Research and development costs: The Company expenses all research and development expenses, which consist of payroll and other related costs, as incurred. Research and development costs for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $160,187 and for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $55,154.
Financial instruments: The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue approximate fair value as of December 31, 2005, due to the relatively short maturity of the instruments.
Use of estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

1. Description of Business
Carekeeper Software, Inc. (“Carekeeper”), founded in 1986, is the largest supplier of operational software to private duty homecare and nurse staffing providers. The Carekeeper software integrates scheduling, billing, and payroll with the ability to interface to several accounting systems. Carekeeper delivers software using both: (i) a software license model where the Carekeeper software is purchased up front and is installed on customer-owned servers under the customer’s control, and (ii) a software as a service model (SaaS) or hosting model where customers use their standard personal computers and Microsoft Internet Explorer and access the internet to utilize the Carekeeper software. The integration of operations through a single user interface, coupled with extensive reporting, enable agencies to reduce costs, improve employee retention, and deliver quality care. Carekeeper is a Microsoft Certified Solutions Provider.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation: The accompanying financial statements which present the results of operations of Carekeeper for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Allowance for doubtful accounts: The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectibilty of customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a deterioration of a major customer’s credit worthiness or actual defaults are higher than the Company’s historical experience, the Company’s estimates of the recoverability of amounts due could be adversely affected. The Company regularly reviews the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts through identification of specific receivables where it is expected that payments will not be received. The Company also establishes an unallocated reserve that is applied to all amounts that are not specifically identified. In determining specific receivables where collections may not be received, the Company reviews past due receivables and gives consideration to prior collection history and changes in the customer’s overall business condition. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate as of the reporting dates. Changes may occur in the future, which may require the Company to reassess the collectibility of amounts and at which time the Company may need to provide additional allowances in excess of that currently provided.
Cash and cash equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments, with a remaining maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents.
Property and equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives of three years are used for computer equipment and purchased software and five years for furniture and fixtures. The Company uses an accelerated method of depreciation for tax reporting which is not materially different from financial reporting. Normal maintenance and repairs of property and equipment are expensed as incurred while renewals, betterments and major repairs that materially extend the useful life of property and equipment are capitalized.
Software development costs: The Company capitalizes certain costs of software developed or obtained for internal use in accordance with AICPA SOP 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Corporate Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use (“SOP 98-1”). Capitalized costs are ratably amortized using the straight-line method, over the estimated useful lives of the related applications of three years. The Company makes on-going evaluations of the recoverability of its capitalized software by comparing the amount capitalized for each product to the estimated net realizable value of the product. If such evaluations indicate that the unamortized software development costs exceed the net realizable value, the Company writes off the amount that the unamortized software development costs exceed net realizable value.

Years Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004
Impairment of long-lived assets: In accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered. In such circumstances, the Company will estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Future cash flows are the future cash inflows expected to be generated by an asset less the future outflows expected to be necessary to obtain those inflows. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company will recognize an impairment loss to adjust to the fair value of the asset. At December 31, 2005 no long-lived assets were impaired.
Concentration of credit risk: Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited to customers dispersed across the United States of America. All trade receivables are concentrated in the healthcare segment of the economy; accordingly the Company is exposed to business and economic risk. Although the Company does not currently foresee a concentrated credit risk associated with these trade receivables, repayment is dependent upon the financial stability of the healthcare industry.
Income taxes: The shareholders of Carekeeper Software, Inc. elected to be taxed as an S Corporation, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. Such status was also elected for state tax purposes. Under this status, taxable income is passed through and taxed at the shareholder level, rather than at the corporate level. The Partnership provides for no federal and local income taxes because net income or loss is flowed through and taxed at the individual partner level.
Revenue recognition and deferred revenue: The Company follows the provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of a final agreement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. In instances where the customer specifies final acceptance of the system or service, the Company defers revenue until all acceptance criteria have been met.
The Company generates recurring revenue from outsourcing services such as software hosting and the sale of maintenance and support for its proprietary software products. Recurring services revenue is billed and recognized monthly over the contract term, typically two to three years. Recurring software maintenance revenue is typically based on one-year renewable contracts. Software maintenance and support revenues are recognized ratably over the contract period. Cash payments received in advance or at the beginning of a contract are recorded as deferred revenue.
The Company generates non-recurring revenue from the licensing of its software. Under SOP 97-2, software license revenue is recognized upon the execution of a license agreement, upon delivery of the software, when fees are fixed and determinable, when collection is probable and when all other significant obligations have been fulfilled. For software license agreements that require significant customizations or modifications of the software, revenue is recognized as the customization services are performed. The Company also generates non-recurring revenue from implementation fees and training services and this revenue is charged to customers on a fee basis usually based upon time spent. Software license fees and implementation fees revenue is recognized in the month the customer goes live and training revenue in the month the service is performed.
Advertising costs: The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $148,445, and for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $137,566, and are included in selling and marketing expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.
Research and development costs: The Company expenses all research and development costs, which consist of payroll and other related costs, as incurred. Research and development costs for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $523,976 and for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $354,255.

Years Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004
Financial instruments: The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, customer deposits, and deferred revenue approximate fair value as of December 31, 2005, due to the relatively short maturity of the instruments.
Use of estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

PROSPECTUS

PART TWO
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Nevada Revised Statutes (the "Revised Statutes") permits the indemnification of directors, employees, officers and agents of Florida corporations. Our Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles") and Bylaws provide that we shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Revised Statutes.
The provisions of the Revised Statutes that authorize indemnification do not eliminate the duty of care of a director, and in appropriate circumstances equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Nevada. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for (a) violations of criminal laws, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, (b) deriving an improper personal benefit from a transaction, (c) voting for or assenting to an unlawful distribution and (d) willful misconduct or conscious disregard for our best interests in a proceeding by or in the right of a shareholder. The statute does not affect a director's responsibilities under any other law, such as the Nevada securities laws.
The effect of the foregoing is to require us to indemnify our officers and directors for any claim arising against such persons in their official capacities if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons in control pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 28. Undertakings
The undersigned Registrant undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or preceding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
